Guild Wars 2

So I run pretty standard AH build on my Guard in Fractals. I usually go Scepter/Shield for ranged set and GS for melee, but I am going to transition back to Hammer for melee.

Is hammer useful in higher level fractals?

I bet they will give us DS healing and nerf Terror and there will be new threads of OP Necros

I understand your point of view as to why it would benefit ANet financially, but I also don’t think they would take the risk of a refund service due to the fact that outside of actual game sales, the gem store is their ONLY source of income through the game, and the fact that it has such a large impact on the game’s market. Gems would be valued significantly less if they were exchanged back and forth as often as a refund system would allow

They are cycling, so pick one now and another later. This system was implemented as a fun reward payout for completing content. I don’t think they should implement an entire new mechanism because you are indecisive.

People will always find something to complain about. Just enjoy your free stuff.

This was the best map I’ve played so far and I hope we see more of this design in the future.

As long as dye packs are in the gem store don’t expect account-wide dyes

Because ArenaNet

Skins wardrobe has been suggested countless times, get in line.

AntiGw.9367:

I don’t think that it’s a fair suggestion.

We already get quite a lot for the price we paid for the game, and there’s probably a decent balance of real money gem buyers vs the rest. Your suggestion would probably benefit players much more than the company, which is not that good considering how much we are getting already.

SAYS ANTI GUILD WARS

Looks awesome, don’t get me wrong, but I think I’d rather have the dark necrotic effect.

Congrats also

Just one question – why would you want to trade one infinite tool for the other of the same variety? Do you mean if a new axe comes along that has a more attractive graphic effect or something like that?

This isn’t really major but it would be convenient.

Please hide the “deposit/compact” micro-menu upon choosing one of these options.

currently:

Click -> mouse over -> select deposit all coll. -> menu still lingers.

I don’t know why this bothers me so much but it does. Am I alone?

What we have + titles are enough.

If you think those of us with HoM achievements are unfairly rewarded you should have played GW1. The HoM rewards were announced ages before the game was released.

Because if you played GW1 you know as well as I do that the last .x% is more time consuming than most vanquisher maps, especially if you can’t be bothered with Texmod, which I couldn’t even get to work on my computer during my time in GW1.

If you do decide to go for Cartographer I would do Prophecies’ map last.

UPDATE: Okay after these Zenith skins came out I’m positive that the Zenith shortbow is the most appealing skin in the game so good bye dreamer!

I think I’ll be going for Bolt on my Thief now that that’s settled.

Thanks for your feedback guys!

This is occurring with Lich Form/Plague on an irregular basis as well.

And this will be the post that gets replied to.

With as many times as the wardrobe system as been brought up it would be nice if they could at least comment on it by now. It’s amazing how the most popular ideas get the least attention.

Actually it isn’t fair for those who haven’t played GW1. They are both totally different games, and shouldn’t be interrelated at all. Guild Wars 1 is still there, go play it if you want a “sense of achievement”. This isn’t an expansion pack!

I mean I would understand adding cosmetic gifts at the start for those who played GW1 as an incentive to start GW2, but you haven’t actually achieved anything in GW2 yet, and acquiring those points for playing another game doesn’t make sense.

Without us – us who supported GW1 since day one- GW2 wouldnt be possible. That is the biggest achievement ever.

booyow

Complete all Campaigns with max reward, normal and hard mode, and get vanquisher. in all maps. Also don’t do cartography you’ll kill yourself.

I thought each tier awarded an increasing number of achievement points? Such as a 1/3/5 scale?

Since the most recent patch I have been loading into various maps that render the floor/ground completely transparent. I am at work and cannot upload a screen shot at the moment but I will tonight. If anyone else can offer a shot, please do so.

Persie.4701:

It just not ok for the people who never played gw1… how ppl who got high achievement points can get that 500 points? From playing ages gw1? Srsly its a joke…

Title and items are ok imo. 20 points too. But 500 is just to much.

Clearly YOU didn’t play GW1, those achievements are most certainly worth 50 points. These achievements we have in GW2 are child’s play compared to the GW1 achievements.

I think the fact that they did it again after all the flame from the first time means they don’t really care.

Please create a salvage kit that can be used to separate a transmuted skin from the item.

I recently forged a Tome of the Rubicon for !65g, and transmuted the Sclerite Karka Shell onto the piece. After doing so I realized that if I plan to infuse the piece, I will lose the Karka shell for good, unless I create ANOTHER Tome and then transmute again.

65g is a lot for a casual player.

I realize that many may think by doing so, the gem store may take a hit, but on the contrary, I believe that doing so may increase the sales of Transmutation Stones due to the item being now available to reapply.

It would seem the only reason to implement this system is so the individual achievement can reward the player multiple times (with achievement points) based on the level of commitment the player is willing to invest.

For example, someone who is not entirely committed to the achievement may feel comfortable getting the first tier of the achievement, gaining their single point, and moving along, whereas a player looking for more of a challenge/reward can take the achievement to maximum completion. Any player within this spectrum of completion also has the opportunity to meet his or her personal goal.

Obviously this is can be accomplished by offering “checkpoints” along the way to the total, but I think the current method is a little more organized for players not interested in maximum completion.

Also, I could be totally wrong :p

I have the Tome of the Rubicon (uninfused) with the sclerite shell. Obivously I don’t want to spend another 60g on another tome if I choose to infuse. This is a real bummer.

I sincerely hope ANet comments on this.

I agree, the Waypoints are an idea that should have been scrapped at the start for a game this ambitious.

I’m torn between going for the Dreamer for my Thief, whom I use primarily in open world content, such as Living Story events and Daily/farming, The Flameseeker Prophecies, which is my favorite skin in the game, for my Guardian who I only use when we need a Guardian, and little ol’ Eye of Rodgort for my Necro who I use for everything else (Dungeon/PvP/Fractals/etc).

I know most responses will be “Make them all!” especially when Eye of Rodgort is in the mix, but I really only have the time and patience to craft one of the 3. Any thoughts?

Will we eventually see some LS content that revolves around Sylvari? It has all been very Human centric, with the majority of events not reaching the Grove. I know it’s still early, but so far we’ve seen Norn and Charr in the Refugee line, SAB was Asuran tech, and everything else is human human human

I would expect a lot more light weight content to be introduced as the ideas start thinning on their new two week release schedule

Stop whining and wait for fractals

I got a rare kite fortune from a mob

The design team has truly outdone itself with this content. Most fun I’ve had since launch. The music, the art, the various dialogues, the games… It’s incredible.

That being said, it looks to be that the sanctum is the only new addition to the previously undiscovered zone. The small town in the cliffs is clearly established. I certainly hope this zone remains active when the ship departs.

How can I infuse my backpiece while keeping the skin?

No. I think if Guardians get blue we should get green. i seriously thought this would be the case when I saw the notes but

If you’re getting it for your thief, sword. Otherwise find something to buy an axe for.

I think MF banner works for materials? I may be wrong.

Just wait for second generation Legendaries and hope there are some better looking short bows

EVERYTHING IS kitten

The only thing that poses a problem for your defiant idea, as good as it is, mind you, is that the skill works similarly for 5 man dungeon bosses and open world encounters. The updated Defiant mechanic of yours is a lot more tolling for a group of 5 but in open world where there are hundred of players zerging a boss the effect is negligible. If they used a different mechanic for dungeon bosses than they did for world event bosses than it could work.

Oh I see, then absolutely. That is something that has bothered me about this game – they are moving to more account wide accreditation but they are not rewarding properly for it. They seem to be in some strange transitional stage. Hopefully your suggestion is heard.

I see what you’re asking for, and it is a good idea. There is a small part in the Snowblind fractal where you run from the Ice Elemental to the Shaman cave, and that little walk with 5 adventurers carrying torches through a dark forest looking for a cave while being tracked by hunters and wolves is the most engulfing dungeon experience in the game to me. It has so much personality and I feel like I’m exploring. I don’t know what it is about that single minute in GW2 that has so much depth but it is a work of art as far as engulfing the player in the instance goes.

Lickage.7318:

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this.

So, I really really enjoy the lore behind guild wars, I always check upon the forums to read the speculation what is going on. I’ve also read 2 of the 3 books that have been released ( orderd Sea of sorrows wich will take 7 days to get here) But what I not know is the history of guild wars, now I would like to play the GW1 series to get into the history of GW2 but I have a phew questions.

- Lorewise is it worth to play the presequal?
- Can u single player all the lore content in GW1?
- How much time would it take to play trough all the GW1 series?
- Are u still able to get the achievments to get the exclusive tittles + weapons in GW2?
- People still playing that game?

sorry about the grammar, english is not my primary language!

Thanks in advance!

1.) It is definitely worth it to play through the series, especially prophecies. I feel like GW2 is very Human-Charr centric, which is understandable considering the bulk of the content in GW1. You will get a good feel for the events in GW2 and come to appreciate the game more.

2.) If you plan on doing this, you should definitely invest in all four games (Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, Eye of the North). The Heroes are worth it if not necessary at this point in GW1. Heroes are a companion system that allows you to play with advanced AI computers as well as design their builds/armor/etc. They were introduced with Nightfall. Once you get into it the game is very good at storytelling. Factions is one of the best short stories in any online game I’ve played. I’ts definitely doable alone, but some of the missions are intense and frustrating.

3.) If you’re planning on completing all four campaigns I would give yourself 2 weeks for Prophecies, a week for Factions, 2 weeks for Nightfall, and about 10 hours for Eye of the North.

4.) All achievements are still available to fill the Hall of Monuments.

5.) Most remaining players are there for elite zone completions. You will have a hard time fitting into the meta being a new player.

I played GW1 for about 6 years with my friends. let me know if there is anything else and I’ll do my best to assist. Enjoy!

Fix existing dungeons, that’s all I ask

word

As long as the same skins are offered in RNG boxes in the gem store, those skins will never be unlocked in the manner you are asking.

ITT: People whining about not getting new skins because they spent all their time grinding CoF

They are rewards from achievement points which you get through doing the daily. Read posts.

Give us hammer with a shadow axe effect similar to scythe effect on staves
