Guild Wars 2

dwarves will also not be a race, they have turned to stone and cannot procreate, only slowly diminish over the course of the war they have against primordius

thepoint of it being soulbound on use is that you cant just use it on all characters, it would be too much for people to be able to re-use their unbreakable tools when others have spent their hard earned cash on a tool for every toon, it’d be unfair on them. plus, there is no monthly fees and no purchasable expansions, arenanet have to make money somehow, be glad its like this

ncsoft aren’t the devs, they’re the publisher

*It has been gathering liquor in the depths

it is faster, harder, louder

it has returned to party and to get hammered

it is Tequila The Funbliss… and it has arrived*

best april fools day prank. Tequatl starts hosting beach parties with each arrival. free chest at the party’s end.

they should do what ‘adventure quest worlds’ did for one of their april fools, they had weapons that were pieces of paper with a sword drawn really badly on, the final weapon was the pencil used to draw it

Brimstar.9036:

If at all possible, I hope you would spawn this event perhaps less than the original Dragon Timers, just to give a sense of “OH man, Sunless is up, I gotta do that!” Get even more organization on the front as a server, Also, making the rewards even more rare and wanted.

what about other people who cant be online for one reason or another, if I’m doing something or in a lecture, i dont want to have to miss it

they wont bring back dervish as its too idd with the human gods, lore wise, a charr wouldnt use grenth’s aura would he? s for ritualist, it was combined with monk and paragon to make guardian.

i was thinking about all these ‘erhmagherd nerd ner prerfersherns’ posts and i always say how this profession cant exist because of this reason or all the races cannot use this profession because of that reason, but then i thought of a way to get new professions without breaking lore or arena net’s policies on professions

my idea is to design and create 3 new classes, one for each armour type, and make them an ‘exclusive class’ I don’t mean you have to unlock it in game or buy it from the gem shop, but you have to earn it IRL, in my mind, this could be done by winning competitions (like the design/name a boss or the design/name a weapon that some of us are familiar from the first game), wining pvp tournaments or by code giveaways during gamescon

the 2 i thought of were: doom/shadow/death knight (the anti-guardian) – heavy armour

the sorcerer (the arcane mage(not elemental one)) – caster armour

and i couldnt think of a free niche in gw2 for the medium armour

these classes would not be any more powerful than the current ones.

so (other than all the work needed to put into them) whadayathink?

there is ALWAYS the ption for at least 5 non-mists dailies, i should know, i never go into the mists, gathering is always there, some form of killing one (50 altogether or 40 from an area) most times there is events/sidekick – 5 events/4 from an area/5 events while down-levelled, sometimes there is veteran, sometimes champion/group events

Jamais vu.5284:

If this change takes place this would become my first legendary.
I love the basic design of the sword but Twilight/Sunrise are too monochrome for my taste (still the prettiest greatswords ingame).

Eternity is currently hovering around the price of both Twilight and Sunrise, some days being cheaper than Sunrise, despite being double the legendary. Just show’s what people think of the crude “merge” we get.

first legendary? you need 2 to craft it

although i am no where near rich enough or have enough time to go for this, i agree it looks better than the current one, at times its hard to tell the difference between eternity and the other 2 swords

you could just look at the various websites with timers, its not 100% accurate but gives a good idea as to the timing, scratching that, some guild members would announce when they arrive
(edit) not to mention that very VERY soon, tequatl will be revamped and most likely have an announcement in the living story area of the UI

“Viktor Rageclaw” I even have a character sheet! http://www.guildwars2roleplayers.com/forum/m/2737230/viewthread/5662241-viktor-rageclaw-sor-tc

Draco Dragonbane – DANOUDADAN! (if in the, “Bane Warband”)

Shendu Cursedfur – I’m actually going to give this a 5. I wouldn’t wanna be in a cursed warband. o.o

thats my warband you’re talking about!! theyre all necros btw

Yeah, except you would think the old Jotun myths or the dwarven tomes would mention a giant tree or living plants…

Somewhere far, far away, three Durmand Priory Explorers stumble upon a dark cavern in the foothills near some ancient dwarven ruins…

Explorer Brathadóir: It’s so dark and musty. Surely there’s nothing of interest here. Perhaps we should—

Explorer Grandpaw: Woo hoo!

Explorer Dropp: I say there, Grandpaw! What’s that you’ve found? Why, it looks like—

Explorer Grandpaw: A dwarven tome!

Explorers Dropp and Grandpaw: Squee!

Explorer Dropp: May I? (fits monocle into right eye) Thank you. Now, let’s see. My dwarven is a bit rusty, I’m afraid. Ah. I have it. ‘Of the Land of the Giant Tree’. I say!

Exlporer Grandpaw: Giant Tree? You don’t think—

Explorer Brathadóir: Ow! My head!

Explorers Grandpaw: Brathadóir? What is it? Are you all right?

Explorer Dropp: Dear me! How wilted she looks!

Explorer Brathadóir (eyes shining): Die, die, die! Die, die!

(blood)

Later…

Pale Tree: You have done well, my child. Now destroy the tome and seal this cavern – forever! When you are done I will prune your memory of this incident and graft new instructions onto your mind.

Explorer Brathadóir: Yes, Mother. Dear Mother.

since when did gamechap and bertie become explorers of the priory?

asuran technology has improved, colour holograms with no glitches, get as reward from defeating the big baddy

they’re already thinking of new weapon types/skills and traits, look on he upcoming changes and features on the official wiki

your guild can simply make a Facebook/twitter page, there already exists a guild announcement that whoever has permission to type could announce dungeon/wvw raids/spvp events or guild missions or activities

you become canon in lore nd unlock the ability to cook fish

maybe keep it as ‘get to level 20 if below level 20, gain 1 skill point if above, if not, it’d be too easy

eerr.. the guy before me didnt say a name, ill go with 2, my iron legion charr is Draco Dragonbane – ranger
my ash legion is Shendu Cursedfur – a necro

6.5/10, male asura names tend to be short sounding names with a hard ending, eg Vekk, or Snaff

Zurt, member of the College of Synergetics

it could be that the gods came to tyria on the artesian waters and for some reason placed humans far to the south and then came back to build arah? what if humans annoyed them but not so much that they’d leave them behind

i dont think low iq is in asura genes – intelligence is probably a quality that asura look for in a potential partner, everyone has them, some guys like girls with big chests/small chests/big behind/small behind/tall/short/blue eyes/brown eyes/green eyes/brunette/blonde/ginger/fat or slim, or chubby/ and so many different personalities
– for asura, other than looks and personality, intelligence must play a big part – a genius asura would ever put up with an asura that is less intelligent than they are

for charr, it would all be based on combat ability (muscle mass/size/kills) as such, there is no such thing as a weak charr, only the old or maimed – for born, they have to have equal achievements as we learned from that one quest in guild wars 1 when we nearly got married to a norn, seeing how each norn wishes to make their name in legend, each strives for greatness so there is no ‘weak’ norn either

basically – its selective breeding, low iq does not appear in the asura genome

you can see your personal story in the H menu – if you became an asura, it may still show you as deciding to go to the circus or finding out about your sister who was captured by centaurs, arenanet will not change anything that affects personal story

personally i belive that this is a human myth, just like with the myth that the gods created the world of tyria, there are so many pieces of contradicting information on the origin/homelands of humans

The kingdom of Kryta was originally a colony of Elona, established in 300 AE,

The current earliest known records of Elona is in 205 BE, when humans arrived along the southern shores and northern valleys of the continent

The oldest records of Canthan activities date back to 786 BE, when humanity first arrived along the northern shores of the continent.

one of the devs said that humans came from south of cantha…

seeing how the elonians came from the south AND the north…. im confused, are there 2 sets of humans, one from the mists and one from south of cantha? why did elona have the colony in kryta and not orr? wouldnt orr have been the nearest other human settlement?

you need the other tiers – the emperor achievement needs all tiers (tier one at level 35, tier 2 at level 60 and tier 3 at level 80) for all races – altogether, its 36 pieces of armor per race which equals to about 600g worth of items – most of which comes from the 119g cost of t3 for each race

what i dont understand is – humans came with the gods, yet the gods arrived in what is now orr, and one of the devs stated that humans came from further south than cantha – is the whole alien thing another human belief? (e.g. that gods created the world)

*The kingdom of Kryta was originally a colony of Elona, established in 300 AE

*The current earliest known records of Elona is in 205 BE, when humans arrived along the southern shores and northern valleys of the continent. Within five years, humans had established the Primeval Dynasty that situated itself in Fahranur.

*The oldest records of Canthan activities date back to 786 BE, when humanity first arrived along the northern shores of the continent.

just that last statement goes against the statement that humans came from south of ascalon… judging by historical evidence,humans came from the battle isles

out of lore for a sec, i think this year and maybe next ear is only the testing phase of living story, after that, hopefully there’ll be some more awesome stuff heading this way

having said that… it isnt really living… we havnt had much choice except with the politics and even then, kiel was portrayed as ‘the good guy’, if we, the players, had a choice for what happened next, that’d be awesome

fyi – it took either 5 or 6 years for us to have the ability to clear out the afflicted of cantha after guild wars 1, so i dont expect them to give us the ability to clear out the orrian undead any sooner – plus how will they seperate pplayers who defeated zhaitan with those who havent? and what if veteran players wanted to help friends who had only just gotten the game?

i really wish the devs would take some people out of living story and into developement for more permanent content

I’m still carrying 105 gnashblade tokens – (still think he’d have made a better council member)

the recent announcement by queen jennah seems to indicate that we were successful in repelling scarlet’s invasion; however, i remember that 90% of the invasions i took part in failed… for future releases, can the devs please make it so there is a reason to win and not just “oh well, if we lose we still get loot and it wont affect the story” – give us a reason to succeed

Titan.3472:

The gift for legendaries HAVE TO BE SET UP AT 500 (instead of 400 actually) CRAFTING SKILL in every professions now if not it doesn’t makes sense.

maybe it’ll happen when the armor crafting professions get 500, either that or the cook and jeweller, whichever comes last, if not, it wouldnt be fair

have you guys never played assassins creed? its obviously precursor markings

most likely, they’ll make the discoverable resepes reset, seeing how you didnt get much of bonus exp from making celestial stuff anyways, im just annoyed that all the exotic stuff that i made (weapons AND armour) will now be a waste of money :P

there are 3 weapon crafting professions, 3 armour crafting professions, you can have 2 crafting professions active on one character at a time, basically you only need 3 characters to craft all full sets of ascended items including the not-yet-released armour, seeing how you have 4 character sots as default, one more character can use cook/jeweller so you dont really need to be that bothered, just spend some time on it and eventually you’ll be good :P

cuge.5398:

Biglulu.3928:

They will make precursors craftable soon. The problem will be addressed then.

I would like to know when….. since they announced changes to legendaries but no changes on how precursor will be obtainable.
And its a kitten joke cause there are only few of each on TP, like 9 dusk, 5 the legend, 4 zap, when they are sold how should we be able to get them ? Should we wait for it to drop ? on a 0.000000000[……]0001 % chance to happen ?

legendaries should be something that a player gets when completing some challenge, not just an immense amount of farming, and an even much more immense amount of luck !

i agree with this, just like with some of the rarer weapons in the first game, precursors are only owned by either the lucky or the rich, id rather work for mine using challenges, eg scavenger hunt, i think it’d be awesome if the same guy who sold pact weapons after killing zhaitan also gave out a precursor part (it would either need a seperate token or none at all seeing how most already spent it on some other weapon and would be annoyed)

would you rather have legendaries have stats lower than what someone could normally craft?

so we can kind of guess that kryta=europe, cantha=east asia and elona = north africa… but what inspired orr?

MizuTsuki.5867:

BrunoBRS.5178:

reason we don’t see much of him is probably because he’s busy as it is underground. zhaitan never bothered to leave orr, there was plenty to have there, and i imagine the same applies to primordus. no reason to push = no push.

Ohhh…Zhaitan pushed… he went as far as attacking Lion’s Arch when no one was poking him. Its only after his attack at LA, the orders united & start pushing some real lines. Once taken over LA, he could have used the portals to go after any home world.
I mean I agreed that the dwarves are pushing his minion but they are limited in number unlike the destroyer force…

I wonder why Primordus cant make more champions? The resistance to him is only breaking by each passing day. Isn’t it their sole role to corrupt / destroy all lives as we know it?

someone may have already said this, but zhaitan has been attacking lions arch ever since it was first established, read ‘sea of sorrows’

logan shall be friendzoned.. and i shall laugh

Kirschwasser.3972:

How do you survive a dragon attack?

Run faster than Snaff!

HA HA HA

too soon…

race and proffession will never be able to be changed because it affects the personal story and biography at the beginning, in my opinion, this makes you choose more carefully about these choices when you get to them

seeing how all the stuff is brought in the form of living story – i have to thank arenanet so much for all this free content – thanks guys

zhaitan was confirmed to be dead, i cant find the exact quote… but he’s dead

and yet there is only one npc that has successfully managed to catch and cook a fish… http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fishmonger_Scipio

compared to the master chef that some players are, i find this kinda pathetic – by the way, why isntt this guy famous? he sells the ONLY cooked fish in all of tyria

‘Dragons were not always the main antagonists of Guild Wars 2. According to The Making of Guild Wars 2 book, original drafts for story included demons and angelic beings descending to the world to judge it., – (guild wars 2 wiki on elder dragons) wow – that’d be awesome (once we finish ED’s/cantha/elona …. pretty please?)

it was only recently that there was no expansion being made at the moment- i think theyre going to use living story to add content that an expansion normally would, however living story is still in early stages – i think arena net are using 2013 as a testing phase – could be wrong though

its more alive than it was before the update – at least people are now in orr… and why arent people doing the risen priests? theyre champions too

true, the armor sets for each category that i would like the most from gw1 are:

Heavy – Silver Eagle

Medium – Ancient Armor (Ranger version)

Light – Stoneforge

from guild wars 1 wiki – The game was designed from the ground up to be a competitive multi-player experience, focusing on high-level combat between two or more parties focusing more on player skill and innovative play rather than equipment, time played or sheer numbers, a stark contrast to other MMOs of the time

The different genre was chosen (as opposed to the classic “Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) RPG”) due to the perceived differences between the game and other, more traditional MMOs: the focus on Player versus Player (PvP) rather than Player versus Environment (PvE) play made it almost a unique case at the time
