Guild Wars 2

id guess we lose the class specific traitline and that the unique class mechanic will be heavily altered; say for example what if as a druid we still have our pet but now instead of telling them commands we merge with them in combat and our abilities change.

might not necessarily be a fake date, i think its more likely its a placeholder for preorder purposes. seems like a safe bet it will be out some time this year to me

I cant believe how much negativity is in this topic.

I for one am looking forward to the variety specialisations look set to bring and am very interested in the new ways the mastery system will allow us to develop our characters post 80.

Then we have the new region which if looking at our other regions could have 3-6 new maps and if they are anywhere near the high quality of the maps the living world updates have been popping out that is huge.

There is definitely a lot to be excited about

so i was cleaning up today and found an old magazine about the time of eye of the north with a lore article that the other legions mocked the flame legion calling them the gold legion…. is that anywhere in the game or was that dropped, also if so anyone know why?

if it was a specialisation that allowed you to use an underwater weapon on land that’d be a different story and could be quite interesting

i wasnt interested in normal rytlock statue but if they did a revenant one that’d be epic and i would have to seriously consider fronting more money to be able to get one

the first new race i would expect would be tengu but given we are heading into further into the maguuma to deal with mordremoth i am not convinced they would be a good fit

so we are getting a new profession, will we get a new character slot so we can try it out?
if you can’t answer that now could you put the question forward to be answered in the coming weeks?

cheers

well in that case it would really be better if they removed that functionality from the chat menu so that you don’t end up trying to do something that you are not intended to be able to do

i actually quite like the new daily system, theres much less you HAVE to do to get the full ap amount so if you are busy you can at least not miss out on that and you are still insentivised to go for other daily achievements for the chest reward

i had just assumed since the right click on name in chat and send mail didnt work (just brought up an empty mail interface) that none of those other ways would either

well being that it is so close to what seems to be an expansion im more inclined to believe it is a hint but im sure we will know for sure soon enough (hopefully at the pax panel)

Erukk.1408:

Probably just another random spear wielding character that Anet likes to put in their artwork. It’s very cruel on their part, since we the players cant wield spears above water.

is it cruel or is it a hint (i think the latter)

i was helping a player out in game and sent them about 40g, only i must have typoed it and they did not get it the first time.

it would be optimal if the right click player name to send mail actually worked properly to avoid the human error factor entirely but failing that it would be nice if there was a little check like are you sure you typed in the name properly?

sometimes right clicking player name to send mail just brings up the mail interface as opposed to creating a mail with that players name in the to section.

i say sometimes but it hasnt worked for me at all in a long time, but i remember it used to

appreciate the dev notes being there, hope they continue to do stuff like that

well my idea is they should still be limited use so as not to step on the gemstores toes with its convenience offering but for example you would be able to get extra chances at getting sprockets and do it from an in game method as opposed to a gem store one

Was just wondering what if you could craft gathering tools that either had different animations or gave extra materials

if you must go with the silver fed theme why not silver ore?

sweet thanks for that

just my 2 cents i am quite excited about the living story and think connecting to existing lore is the way to go.
i took a break not long before halloween last year and didnt come back until the start of season 2 because the stuff that was happening felt so disconnected from the lore, there were some cool ideas but i was always thinking what is the point when all these other cool things that already exist are being sidelined. learning it all led to mordremoth made that connection but unfortunately by that time due to the format of season 1 it was too late to play that missed content.

on the positive side that news brought me back to the game and another bonus is that i didnt play last years halloween and wintersday content so any new stuff that was added that year will still be new for me this year

looking for a casual guild whose prime time (most players playing) is typically in the evening nz time (sorry im not good at time conversions)

how can you set the path for where screenshots get put?

if e was faren it’d be because he was thinking of (E)nigma and that it sounded cool or something stupid like that

i know they are busy and all but it would have been nice if they popped in one of these topics and said it, ive been keeping an eye on dev tracker for a response on it since feature pack when i made my bug topic about it. good to know i suppose

if you are 100% sure you put it in right and it still doesnt work then the store you got it from probably forgot to activate it so take it back there and get em to sort it out

wont be a biggie for me if its a repeat of last years one, i stopped playing just before that up till the start of season 2.

i dont think the nightmare court are minions of mordremoth or at the very least i dont think they started that way. as far as i know though we haven’t learned how faolain became in charge of the nightmare court, i could see her being mordremoths minion

dulfy is always up to date on new stuff coming in and even had guides up for each part of the new backpiece fairly quick. just go to that site a day or so after every update

Tighten the loot table – I’ll admit i could be wrong on this not knowing exactly how it works but it seems far too often that with a given enemy I won’t have any idea what I will get from it because the options are too vast. I believe this was done to encourage varied play (oh go do what you want you will have an equal chance to get something no matter what) but to me what it does is suggest there is very little point in doing specific things and focus instead on quantity. Some good examples of how I think it should be are the wind riders in dry top, they don’t seem to drop a large variety of items but i do get a large amount of t5 venom and feel like i have a decent chance at t6 venom.

well id say it must be a close split between people getting them from the mystic forge and people buying them from the tp because obviously the ones from the tp gotta come from somewhere. then there would be a smaller percentage who lucked into getting one somewhere else

edit
@darkspirit gold is actually quite easy to come by in game, especially if you play a lot. daily achievements could net you a gold
a single dungeon path per day would guarantee a gold + tokens which can be turned into gold and a chance at decent loot that could also be turned into gold
flipping things on the tp is not a hard thing to figure out if you put in the time that will also make you heaps.

dont be so cynical just because your efforts have presumably come up short

-_-
You also get xp per map completion point you do, a nice view if it is a vista, a skill point if it is a skill challenge and a small bit of coin plus access to a karma vendor if it is a heart quest. It’s plenty rewarding for what it is.

coppering is a legitimate tactic

WereDragon.6083:

Because if it had those the playerbase would SCREAM paytowin and throw a world class hissies, do you remember the Watchwork Pickaxe?

The solution for both is very simple, just make consumable versions of both available in game, methods for obtaining them can scale as to how difficult they want it to be. That way both player groups will be happy

My dream patch notes would just be for them to one day put out notes that said: NOTHING – because an expansion is coming (insert definitive date here)

have to ask op did you craft ascended gear yet because you need a lot of dust for that

isnt one of the dragon bash wings a drop from dragon coffers and the other a thing you buy with jorbreakers? that being the case those were not season 1 rewards they were items available at that time. In fact you could still buy dragon coffers and zhaitaffy on the trading post and the vendor is there for them.

I count myself lucky I managed to get both the wings during the event though because i think it would end up being quite expensive

I’m in agreement that the guy speaking in german was being rude, if you specifically set it so that you are in the english channel you should be speaking english

when you get to 80 you get a mail telling you fractals exist and that they are located close to fort marriner which is WRONG.

thanks a lot thats exactly the kind of stuff i was looking for much appreciated

huh thanks, does that mean there are no special weapon recipes for it that take 250 lodestones like there is for some of the other lodestones?

Also people forge major runes and sigils to try and get more valuable ones via the forge so they might buy a stack at a time which is why they move so quick

oh…. lol usually don’t read those headbars on wikis. Guess I picked a wonderful time to do some wiki-ing. Oh well second part of my question then does anyone know another site I could use?

Noticed the section on the wiki was blank and thought surely they must be used to craft or mystic forge something, anyone know what it is?
Also if theres a better site to be looking at such recipes on please enlighten me, I’d be very interested to know.

XApocalypse.8739:

Why is this a good thing? One less farm is good? Okay.

people should not be getting treated so nastily for wanting to actually complete events, if you did the farm a few times yourself you probably would have seen it (hopefully not participated in it though).

best option is to list a sell price equal or slightly lower to the lowest sell price and then buy the materials you need. you aren’t guaranteed to come up with a profit via salvaging even using black lion kits, you’d just have a higher chance.

Seabreeze.8437:

Meh, looks a little lore-breaking, honestly.

what does? if its the vampire stuff then i would point out vampires arent real in our world either but kids still dress up as them for halloween.

I want new buildings made from scarlets wreckages and some input from each of the playable races

well bandits are with the white mantle and given that we appear to be heading to that bandit fortress in brisban with the next patch I think we can expect the white mantles return.
i dont know that they will but they could pull a hydra and have a bunch of people within divinitys reach really be white mantle followers.

because its unbalanced and the skills in far too many cases don’t mesh with the trait setups for your land skills. it needs a major overhaul imo.

At a minimum we need the ability to have separate traits under water or alternatively more weapon options so we can have something that does go with our land traits. Optimally I think that we should also have some traits and utility skills specifically for under water use.
