I remember I used flag hero at some far off point, click on them, wait till they were a bit away and then space bar to follow in guild wars 1 although of course before heroes i clicked to move like everyone else.

Reason GW1 players feel so bleh in my opinion

There are some valid points here but I would just like to add that I am a GW1 player, enjoyed that game and am also loving GW2 and I definitely would say I think they are heading in the right direction with it.

6th playable race, what's your top 3 pick?

in Lore

Posted by: Goatjugsoup.8637

Goatjugsoup.8637

I would love dwarves but I definitely expect Tengu (there’s even a starting city for them already right next to lions) and possibly Kodan.

Perhaps the Largos too but I haven’t seen any of them out of the water and having a water based race that doesn’t have an advantage fighting in the water would be dumb (giving them the advantage would have players of the other races up in arms about the balancing).

I would be surprised to see the quaggans as a playable race too, to me they are like moogles and should remain as npcs.

How is which borderlands your server starts on determined? I ask that because I only need the right hand side borderlands and their portion of eternal for map completion and our side either stands its own ground or gets stomped fairly consistently.

Stop with Time Sinks / Dailies

Goatjugsoup.8637

I’m not about to read 6 pages of replies so I can make a comment to the first post, TC is complaining that certain loot has a predefined time it will take to earn as being the issue as if a) there is no other loot worth getting that could be gotten in other ways and b) there is any significant competitive advantage to be gained by doing so.

If you don’t like doing dailies (personally I enjoy them) then don’t do them, there is other loot to go for

So…. they want to be spoonfed everything straight away? Which MMO does that exactly and how’s it working out for them because I can’t imagine the answer would be well.

I sold my friends on it by showing them some vids of wvw and that was enough, they are still enjoying it.

This is a minor bug and it hasn’t stopped me getting in to wvw only prolonged the load time.

A Corrupt Market

I won’t try and argue things I don’t understand (like the economy) or things that I don’t really have a clear picture of (like the bots impact) but I will say this – the price of gold to gem conversion is too kitten high!

Prerelease, the notion that the game had the option to buy everything from the gem store with in-game gold sounded great but these days 5 gold (a hefty sum for a casual player like myself) will not even buy me 300 gems.

Daily Dodger - easy fix!

Posted by: Goatjugsoup.8637

Goatjugsoup.8637

I had been playing other games and only came back to gw2 in the last week or so, last night was the first time the daily dodge requirement came up for me (that i noticed anyway) and I thought it was terrible. Was fighting a vet wurm that was shooting boulders at me and dodging them added nothing to the score. I ended up going to wiki for help which advised me the best way to get it was to run into a zerg in wvw or orr and dodge randomly into it.

That doesn’t work so well for me, my favourite skill sets are ranger shortbow and ranger longbow. It feels like there legendaries should either be more mass appealing all around or like I said at first having more than one of each weapon type at legendary.

We need a less hippy legendary bow

in Suggestions

Posted by: Goatjugsoup.8637

Goatjugsoup.8637

So I finally decided I would try to go through everything to get a legendary weapon and since my favourite types are both bows that’s where I started looking into.

The problem is whereas greatswords are themed epicly with sunrise and twilight the bows seem like they are meant for hippies, bronies and girls. One shoots ponies and one is made of flowers.

While I admit it would be a bit of a laugh to shoot ponies at people I would much prefer to get something awesome for all the effort it takes to acquire.

Posted by: Goatjugsoup.8637

Goatjugsoup.8637

Goat – We’re talking about PvP in a video game, not warefare in real life. In this video game, there are people that stand out for one reason or another. Usually in an MMO, these people are known and its fun to fight them, or with them, etc. In that way, it would be more akin to movies than actual warfare…and the enemy knows rambo..james bond..etc.

PS: It’s fine if you disagree with the suggestion, but at least have experience with the content and/or a basic functioning rationale when responding to a post.

FYI when I said no experience with I was referring to real warfare, I have played WvW and was speaking from having played that.
I don’t think names are necessary for what you said either. As it is you currently can go on what server they are from, what guild they are from and what their character looks like. That is plenty and more than enough to go oh I have faced you before.

Add an "AFK mode" to the game?

in Suggestions

Posted by: Goatjugsoup.8637

Goatjugsoup.8637

Yeah… Anet doesn’t just ban people because they were reported as bots otherwise there would be trolls reporting everyone just to get them banned. They have a lot of information stored their side that they can use to see what the behavior of the reported player has been like and there is no chance of a player being banned as a bot, the differences are just too much. I would imagine if the bot was done really well there’s a chance they might get mistaken for a player but that isn’t very likely and if it does happen it won’t have a direct impact on you.

No way, even if the flaming and smack talking was a non issue. I quite like the way it is at the moment where it doesn’t matter who you’re fighting, just what side they are on.
Also I think chatting to people on over servers should be completely banned while in wvw to add another layer of annoyance to those trying to spy on a server.
