Guild Wars 2

Enrif.7359:

- special triggers from some bosses if they got too much damage in a too short of a time, causing a wipe

-perma retaliation on some bosses (go kill youserlf zerks!)

Wat??? I don’t even?

Over 5000 hours on my thief

I feel you Aiki i’m just re-rolling to Rev since daredevil looks incredibly boring man. Even if i used it i wouldn’t take the staff. Potentially Perma-weakness is some cheesy game-play too power V power.

Why bother dealing with any of the typical thief life problems when you can just re-roll to a better class at this point.

All of you people who are buying into this “evade hype” seem to be forgetting about guardian circles/lines and ele lines or are just pvers.

Staff daredevil is for bunker-like builds, it’s basically an evasion tank by definition. Bunker builds do very low damage.

Currently that’s something a normal thief can’t do.

IMO all the evasion means the class still retains it’s high skill ceiling. Time your skills right and you can mitigate the damage even if running in zerker gear. Tricky yes, but seems doable. Fits perfectly with my vision for thieves going foward.

Also a wild Dev appears! Woot!

I can barely contain the hype within myself right now.

OP, let’s agree to disagree.

CaptainCocoPops.7618:

Having read most of what has been said on this forum over the last few months, and now we finally see our elite spec, i think we probably owe the devs an apology, as a collective. Yes, the silence is frustrating, but i dare say they are slightly busy at the moment.
Daredevil (seriously who gives a kitten about the name?) as it stands looks kittening awesome. YES some other areas of thief do need to be looked at and reworked, but we already knew there would be another big balance patch before HoT goes live.

I, for one agree with you entirely. I have been feeling negative about Anet’s stance on thieves for months now despite my minimal feedback on the forums. As it is right now, i am totally hyped about our upcoming spec and my faith in ANet’s will to make us viable is partially restored. Time to focus on the bigger picture, pls stop nitpicking about every little thing.

Im really hyped tbh… as long as staff is viable and offers a more evasive play style less relying on stealth AND they end up fixing our other weapon sets and lackluster traits eventually, the future could be pretty awesome for thieves.

Ok so i just messed up after doing this for so long… I was in the process of purchasing an unhealthy amount of philosopher’s stones from the mystic forge attendant when i shifted my attention to my 2nd monitor for a second, because bored obviously. When my eyes came back to the game, i purchased bloodstone shards (200 spirit shards) until out of currency in a glorious brain fart moment.

I already submitted a ticket but anyways… i’m installing an autoclicker now

Sounds like you got matched with a bad pug. There are bad pugs in phiw lfg’s as well… but mostly zerk ’’meta’’ groups generally have a know it all attitude. It’s amazing the number of ZERK META OMG groups ive been matched with who were super toxic and blaming everyone for all of the world’s problems while being so obvious they have zero understanding of the basics…

Having zerk gear on isn’t an instant win button if you can’t stack might/blast them fire fields (lay them down in the first place) or if you can’t avoid the damage.

I guess is what i’m trying to say is your dungeon experience would greatly benefit from running your dungeons/fracs with a group of people who know what they are doing.

Rest in peace Female human idle animations, they are gone but not forgotten.
They were part of the little things that made this world feel alive. May they find peace wherever they are.
#NeverForget

Seriously though, an update would be way overdue.

Bensozia.8071:

If they start a monthly sub fee, that will be the day I stop playing. They already get money from me on gems.

Some of us have already paid the equivalent of multiple subscriptions via gems over the course of the game. In the off chance this is really a thing that they consider doing, I demand to be given free access for the next 3 years at least.

Mommy, I’m scared! T.T

So we can finally be double rainbow all the way, dreamer / bifrost BB

Oh… Hem… Geeeeeee omgomgomgomg FINALLY.
This better be good.

Sounds to me like mmo’s in general might not be the ’’formula’’ you’re looking for.

Trident or harpoon while out of the water would look less silly than melee staff imo

Zanshin.5379:

Make outfits that people pay money for or make armors that people get for free? Hum, such a dilemma…

That’s why if and when it ever comes out at all, it will look terrible, so you have to transmute your skins of choice over it… for money ofc.

Bump because we deserve at the very least an update on this. Gaile said said it was in the backlog many months ago…
Perhaps this is irritating me more than it should, but i definitely am not the only one.

Fanum.6598:

Greetings everyone!

I was a big fan of Scarlet Briar and the lore behind her. So much that I decided to create a character dedicated to her and the conflict with LA. I named this character:

Twisted Aethercharr
http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp331/AngelAffinity/4_zps76wm6hjh.jpg

Creating this character has since been my GW2 goal. To complete him so to say. The goal seemed straight forward, as I only needed a name change, some appearance change, a certain style and weapon skins. I managed to get myself most the mentioned:

Hammer
http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp331/AngelAffinity/1_zpsmealxjdb.jpg

Greatsword
http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp331/AngelAffinity/3_zps4xzrsbfa.jpg

Sword
http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp331/AngelAffinity/2_zps1bihli53.jpg

I was rather pleased and after a loooong grind of gold, I managed to get those 3 skins despite the fact they were about 300-400g a piece back then. I needed a break after that, and when I came back, the skins were no longe available outside the auction house for large amount of gold.

It would be an understatement to say I was disappointed. Guild Wars 2 is my favorite game, and having my personal goal ripped away from me like that made me rather disappointed and sad. I still needed: Shield, Longbow and Warhorn.

I contacted Anet, asking if there was any alternatives, like getting the skins back or purchasing them unofficially with real money, but no. All they could do was to ask me to make a thread about the issue and hope people would back me up with the following request:

Bring Aetherized Skins back

I know this might be an odd thing to ask of others, but I need your help. I need you to help me get the skins back so I can complete my Guild Wars 2 goal. And for that, I’ve made a poll:

Bring Aetherized Skins Back

I hope you guys will help me fulfull my goal, but I will hold no ill feelings towards those who does not feel the skins should return.

Peace!

Haha I remember partying up with you for Jormag and fire ele a week or so back, talking about how valuable these skins have become. However, as one of the few lucky ones who own those, I would hate to see them devalued to the point where they become common. Much like the Fused skins, the Aetherized skins are pretty much ’’Legendary" right now.

Not fair you say? Maybe… but oh well.

Idk about you guys but that sounds like exactly the kind of item i would put in a 20 slot invisible bag.

You can try google’s public DNS until this gets fixed… worked for me.

Define ‘many people’. I’m willing to bet that this is a non-issue to the large part of the community.

As to my contribution, touché. It was meant as a cynical joke, more than anything. I do apologize if I hurt your feelings. It was really insensitive of me, with all the distress this missing animation is causing.

Sinister gear seems pretty stong on some classes atm, otherwise full zerker imo. Also depends if you want a dungeon build or a wvw build, condis in dungeons usually take a while to tick in, and by the time you have reasonable stacks of anything your usual trash will already be dead.

Evans.6347:

No what I mean is that an idle animation is quite possibly the least important thing they could ever delete to me. Mainly because it serves no use whatsoever other than to break some very minor level of tedium while you stand there doing nothing but stare at your character.

The only way you can put any weight of importance on this is by making it a matter of principle, in which case there are still much more worthy subjects to moan about.

Fair enough, I understand where you’re coming from with this. There is obviously the expansion to work on and all that.

However as someone who often will stand around for long periods of time communicating with guild members, taking care of sell orders and other tedious tasks, I miss having those animations around, because it added so much life into the scenery. Now every single human female stands around like lifeless dolls, only doing the ’’confused’’ hair shuffle every so often. I mean it’s not like they need to redesign new animations from the ground up, or adapt to new game physics like the SAB issue… the animations are already there, just disabled.

It just strikes me as extremely lazy on A-net’s part to completely gut those animations just because a character occasionally seen ‘’kicking dirt’’ in cut scenes was deemed inappropriate.

Necroing this… it’s been 9 months. Can we get a fix now?

Personally i think a game that’s released before it’s ready (i.e.: Arkham Knight on PC) has a much much more negative impact overall.

I do hope it comes soon, but… when it’s ready!

People will complain no matter what… I say disabling it for the time being is the best possible action and i for one wouldn’t even have expected them to do it.

So lets just take a step back and appreciate the fact that Anet have actually taken temporary measures to rectify the situation until they can work on a more permanent solution. Because you know what? I believe they do care.

Want x1000

15 Charrlizards

I thought i didnt spend all that much over the years but after going back through my transactions, it turns out i have spent about 850$ on gems since this game came out.
This is making me feel bad… i didn’t realise I was a whale o.O

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Here is the pertinent part of the FAQ on the Wardrobe, most likely:

Please note that skins or partials skins that you previously purchased but which you no longer possess will not be unlocked on your account. The Guild Wars 2 Support Team cannot unlock skins that fall into this category.

https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/46419166-Wardrobe

If you receive a different response from the CS Team, then gratz.
If not, then you know why.

Good luck.

Problem is, (at least in my case) that i had made the purchase or transmutation splitters to make sure i could get the skins back. Now when i logged in months later the splitters were turned into transmutation charges, so there was no way to recover them.

I felt pretty much like Stan when he went to the banker and was told ‘’Aaaand its gone!’’

Also i would suggest blanking out the user’s name, as it falls under the ‘’calling out names’’ rule of the code of conduct. Not that i particularly like to have to say it, but just looking out for you.

The yellow text under it says it all, its from another player, trying to scam you.

Was preparing to ask for your stuffs… wait this isnt a QQ thread?

Toxsa.2701:

imsoenthused.1634:

I actually like Tera, and wish Guild Wars 2’s combat was more like it, but the amount of horrific pedophile chat that goes on in that game as a result of the Elin race is disgusting, and has to be experienced for you to understand how bad it can get. So I say no, a thousand times no, no children characters. Between the perverts, and the trolls pretending to be perverts just to gross people out, it’s not ever going to have enough positives to counter all the negatives.

Gonna repeat my post because you Western people is really kinda double standard and knows really little about what leads to crime.

“People are complaining about the “ethical issue” of the game, but guess what, the US and some European countries have much higher adolescence crime rates/prostitution than Korean and Japanese! This speaks volumes about some “western standard” being misleading propaganda and shows an essence of arrogance and ignorance.”

Clearly it’s not those chit-chat of your so called “disgusting comments” that lead to crime. In fact maybe it is those video games that “prevents” crime at the first place because it satisfies some people’s needs virtually. People who swing that way don’t need a video game to turn them into what they are. They use video game to do that because they swing that way before that and wish to satisfy what they want by just playing virtual games that hurts no-one.

Regardless of whatever implications this idea would have, there is something fundamentally wrong with the mental image of huge T1 children zergs clashing in ebg i got when i read the OP. Imo this should never be done and is a VERY bad idea.

I have a pending ticket on this very issue at the moment. Had saved some transmute splitters at the time to revert back but ended up leaving the game for a year and when the wardrobe got introduced, well lets just say i definitely understand your frustration.

I suggest submitting a ticket if that’s not already done :p

Wouldnt mind me a grenth hood

Could we get an official response on this? Its been a few nights in a row now, i’m pretty sure Its no coincidence that major ddos attacks have been shutting down major isp’s around the same hours.

Now i’m not blaming you guys in any way, but a little ‘’we are aware of the issue and are working on finding a solution / workaround / w/e’’ would go a long way.

^^ If youre going to do massive maintenance or w/e please start doing scheduled maintenance, would likely be better received than getting dc on 4th frac on a 50 run

Thank you Nike, will do.

Bump… so no one has anything to say about this?
Should i consider this type of thing to be the ’’norm’’ in quality standards coming from A-net?

I have spent over 300$ in gems in the past year for various upgrades and such, yet most of all the new charr-related content (armors, etc) released through the gemstore have had clipping issues or buggy textures and imo are a huge letdown. I will obviously think more than twice before purchasing gems again.

The lack of even aknowledgement of this issue is another subject entirely, so I would like to thank all of you for weighing in on this, i’m sure A-net will take notice and make appropriate changes.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/bltc/New-Charr-faces/first#post3351216

Even worse

15charrs

Super excited after previewing the new available faces, i went and bought myself a total makeover kit, only to see that once again Anet has no love for charr players as they allow yet another potentially great new content release to be plagued by horrible clipping issues, this is unacceptable to me as even by messing with the sliders there is no way to fix this…

Tldr: i’m not a happy customer

I might consider getting the heavy if the helmet wasnt covering only the face like a mask, yet leaving my whole neck devoid of hair/mane/fur like most of the helms do…

Thanks A-net, but no thanks.

Bumps!

Think of all the people who spent countless hours crafting the Juggernaught, now try to imagine what would happen if Anet decided to listen to you.

I rest my case.

AtoBoss.2906:

I haven’t quit yet, but I’m taking a long break and plan to only pvp/wvw when I finally reinstall. Reasons for leaving:
1. Community changed. After the recent patches from August, gw2 is nothing but farm and accumulating enough gold for a legendary, ascended and whatever. Seriously, I log on and I only see ‘FE 4 min, lf 2m ac speedclear, Teq up in TC.’ The game I played 7 months ago is no longer existent and the conversations and interactions within, come down to mere farming.

2. Grind. I started the game loving gear progression. I wanted the gear, I wanted to base my goals around stats, I wanted to own with an unfair advantage, I wanted to grind those dung, bosses for rewards. but after a few weeks I learnt what GW2 was REALLY about and truly enjoyed what the game had to offer. Despite having full ascended trinkets for 3 characters, I really enjoyed just playing the game for a good 4-5 months until Anet finally gave in to the addicts who play 8-10 hours wanting gear grind. Just disappointed.

Now all that people do is swarm the very few most profitable events in the game, this creates zergs and champ trains, where the only goal is to amass wealth. Long gone are the days where i would wander in a given zone to do any event, team up with pugs and engage in conversation.

I guess it’s just that the gaming community has been burnt out by the game itself, and the resulting bitter social interactions that usually arise from this kind of gaming mentality are very different from what i used to experience in the first few months.

What would bring me back?
It’s no secret that people farm queensdale / frostgorge, world bosses, etc… i’m sure Anet is entirely aware of this. What they need to do in my book is make the rest of the world events equally rewarding in regards to time spend/reward in order to spread the population across the beautifully crafted maps and get rid of the mindless zerging of people watching their favourite tv show with their finger on the 1 key.

I mean Anet has created hundreds of world events happening everywhere at any given time, yet they are entirely ignored by the vast majority…

This has to be the most entertaining post I have ever read on these forums. To you good sir i raise my hat, thanks for the giggles.
