Guild Wars 2

I’d suggest necromancer or warrior they have the most health.

I have a really good computer (don’t know the specs gonna update with another post with them) and WvW lags for me too. When I put the graphics on low it’s okay but mostly it’s ping lags and my skills don’t wanna cast.

My computer cost 1800€ and it’s a modern one. I have no idea if it’s even possible to avoid the lags during huge WvW fights without lowering graphics and I have no idea how it’s possible to avoid ping lags.

I have a necro asura and I’m definitely getting the arah armor some time…

some day…

Track.5029:

I got no empty slot, and i dont feel like buying another right now..

Well I guess the only thing you could do would move your stuff to another characters inventory or the bank and recreate the character.. However you need to do all the leveling and stuff again which is quite sad…

I would advice you to start a second character and if you feel comfortable transport what is not soul bound to that character. After you feel comfortable you can delete your first if not needed anymore.

As much as I remember there is no exotic armor with Magic FInd Toughness and Vitality you can buy.

That means you have to be lucky to drop the rest.

I hope this helps:

Like take an underwater propulsion scooter and quickly drive through a few areas with krait, sharks and obstacles to an asura ring which teleport you over large dangers to another place in the ocean. Aim is to return some lost tech before the inquest catch you on there scooters. (like that star-wars racer game, only different and in guild-wars 2)

Sounds more like an explorator/event/quest to me. Might be just my opinion. I really enjoyed the puzzle of the bloodcoast. (I still have no idea how it works…)

Yeah but all those items cost so you can manage your bank contents.

If I don’t want to manage bank contents but check upon collected amounts. There’s no reason to pay. You don’t pay money to see how much money you have on your bank account when accessing online. At least I don’t..

GW1 Charged you for inviting people to guild ^^; (Or so I have been told)
So 35 gems isn’t too bad, but what your are referring to is convenience aspect. And we all know where convenience items end up :P

Well I’d prefer searching minutes after minutes for an item in my recipe list and read there how many I have of that one and then search minutes after minutes for the next than pay 1g 05s for every time I want to re-check the current amount of farmed result.

Again I’m not interested in taking materials I just wanna view how much.
Those items were introduced to give the player the ability to manage and take materials from bank, not view them in general.

I’m just asking for a simpler way to view them than search them in the crafting tab of the hero window.

Hmm it would be funny if people made humans that look like elves with their ears. The Legend Of Zelda 4ever lol.

You have range attacks with every class. So it basically doesn’t matter which one you choose.

I’d suggest:
Ranger – has a pet (just listed this one)
Necromancer – can do conditional traps & dark shots
Guardian – has protection skills
Elementalist – can do high damage has some conditions
Warrior – can give several supporting buffs
Thief – can be invisible and make people invisible
Mesmer – can create clones (listed this one too… just because)

Makarei.4316:

I like mad queen’s post, add shortcuts. I’m struggling on the sun-south cove skipping stone puzzle. actually I do like most of the jumping puzzles its just they are frustrating at times, especially when i lag on a jump. Be nice to see “race-jumping puzzles” jump through and beat the clock by jumping over blockades before a big Indianan Jones boulder squashes you! or quickly jump to your survival for fresh air or be consumed in some green stinky gas from that big fractal robots backside.

Yeah what the sun-south cove jumping puzzle was missing was either a more difficult (e.g. with monsters or a different difficult jumping concept) as alternative way (there basically are no intended short cuts in jumping puzzles) or more check points.

I like the jumping puzzles that rush you but I think it should always be kept by a few and not every. I like how there are many jumping puzzles with different concepts and I would love to see more with new concepts.

Yeah, I’ve been feeling pretty ridiculous runs of CoF path 1 compared to fractals or arah. The tokens and special drops are the only thing differing but the CoF runs are much shorter (7 min) and the fractal runs are long (30m – 2h 30m).

Some people think “screw other dungeons. If I do a few CoF runs I have the money I need”.

It’s pretty sad that other dungeons are hardly done.

Yeah but all those items cost so you can manage your bank contents.

If I don’t want to manage bank contents but check upon collected amounts. There’s no reason to pay. You don’t pay money to see how much money you have on your bank account when accessing online. At least I don’t..

There’s plenty of content. You just don’t seem to realize because you’re used to it.

However I too wish there were more PvP maps, more fractals and the missing map areas.

Question of time, the patient one wins.

This bothered me too. How are you supposed to make a yoda character if you can’t make an 80 year old asura?

Play star wars? :P

But in star wars you can’t turn into a black almost invincible cloud of death that sucks everyone’s health around it lol.

Yesterday I tried throwing ~240 runes into the mystic forge. (costed about ~15g) into the mystic forge and with some luck I got 2 superior runes of divnity (sold one) and a superior rune of the traveler and several not as special superior runes.

Have you tried this before? Do you think it’s worth to continue further?

Switching between the dungeon tokens would be stupid. Instead of having to do a certain dungeon I could just do an easier dungeon.

E.g. I do 50x CoF and get my Arah armor without doing Arah?

This bothered me too. How are you supposed to make a yoda character if you can’t make an 80 year old asura?

Saulius.8430:

and what exactly are you suggesting?
that your bank would inform you what about its contents, or you could remotely access it with some ‘read-only’ function.

sometimes i wish my fridge could tell me how many beers are still left, or are they cool yet

If you’re clever enough to build up a system where you type in how much of a certain type of object you put in and how much you take out (alternative would be a system based on laser and the codes standing on your objects) you could make an app for your mobile phone with which you can access your device on the fridge via wifi and get all information about how many objects are in it. It’s not impossible it’s just that.. nobody built it yet.

Never the less… yes I was talking about some kind of read only access while you’re traveling around the world or doing several dungeon runs (or a long dungeon) run.

You can already access your recipes and how much you can craft of a certain item. So that’s already telling a bit but it’s not very user friendly when you want to find out how much got of a certain item or severals.

Areann.1304:

I almost have the Bifrost, harde everything except the Gift of Mastery. Give me an amazing challenge please, not a stupid grind.

Arenanet: You promised Guild Wars 2 would be releases when it was ready. You broke your word.

From what I heard they ran out of money and had no other choice but to release Guild Wars 2.

dustinboettcher.5738:

Hey folks,

I’d really like to play all the different stories (Durmand, Vigil, Order), with my main character. It’ll be really nice if there would some kind of reset future to the point of the story where we were supposed to choose. Why?

Well it’s simple: As a casual player I don’t spend so much time in the game, but I’m satisfied with my achievements so far. I’d love to experience the different story lines though cause I had a lot of fun with the one I’ve chosen. Nevertheless a lot of my stuff is Soul-bind so starting over with a new character is quite a pain in the kitten and I just don’t have so much time to spend.

If some kind of reset, rollover I don’t know, just an option to choose the story I’d like to play (again) with my main character would be nice.

(if this was suggested already sry in advance – didn’t find anything like it)

I don’t see the problem in starting a new character. I too am a casual player due to real life and stuff. I usually don’t have much time to play either. However I do try to level other races up just to get into their story. It’s something I’m interested in. If I’m going to choose from a point in the story, why not do a complete different story till that point and do another choice?

Titles are account bound. That means deleting your character won’t affect your title.
I don’t know what you mean by character screen icon. If you mean the world completion icon. I don’t think so but I’m not sure.

However you’ll definitely lose the small star next to your name indicating 100% world completion.

Makarei.4316:

It be nice to have a optional rainbow-road to the end for the first time (no chest spawn) for those who do not like jumping puzzles but want to complete the achievement. to get chest and goodies must do it without the aid of the rain-bow road.

I don’t know… this rainbow road would pretty much defeat the purpose of a jumping puzzle. The Super Adventure Box does not goal to be a huge jumping puzzle. It’s supposed to be an adventure. That’s why they added the rainbow road and clouds.

However jumping puzzles ask the user to solve difficult puzzles and/or jump.
If you want I could show you the way through them sometime.

This has been bothering me since playing GW2.

You’re not able at all to check upon what or how much is in your bank collection.
Everytime I want to check on ecto’s, T6 mats or other stuff I have to travel to Lion’s Arch or somewhere else.

I’m not interested in withdrawing or anything I just wanna check the amount of what I have collected so far to decide how much I still need and to find out how much I progressed without traveling to a bank or craft.

More jumping puzzles would be cool I already did every.
There should be a jumping puzzle or something at the bottom of rata sum. Why else could you jump down till the ground and walk around?

Nah kidding. Anyways there should be more of those “oh my god that was amazing!” jumping puzzles that might or might not have more story behind them.

Might be just my opinion but I’m totally fine with the normal traveling without a mount.

Plus if they would implement mounts I would want a dragon something into the direction of the Secret Of Mana Dragon Flammie.

Honestly… I’m fine as it is. It is fun walking around enjoying the scenery for some time. It’s only annoying for warriors who have no speed buff at all. 25% is minimum to enjoy normal traveling.

If you’re 80% of the time in PvE I’d suggest a ranger. If your PvP time would be higher than your PvE time I’d say mesmer.

I don’t know if ranger is better than mesmer for dungeons but in general I had some annoying problems with mesmers in fractals which required our group to re-do whole runs.

dudikoff.3645:

Awesome idea!

All temp content like this could be adapted and added to fractals. Mad King from Halloween patch could be a Jade Maw type boss.

That does not work. Some of the temporal content reappears every year. Like Halloween, Super Adventure Box, Winter stuff. However the Molten Facility is a one time event in history. After this living story is over we’ll never see it again. Not even next year. However a new living story may come.

Doomguard.5094:

Or maybe leave it exactly like it is, with both bosses, but make it the 4th bonus fractal so we have some alternative to Jade Maw’s Solid Ocean fractal. Okay maybe there could be a slight reduction in trash mobs since this dungeon can take a while.

Oh please no. If those bosses use world wide 6 second agony I’m gonna quit. Plus Jade Maw is one of the bosses that works different than every other boss in the game while the boss of the fiery allience works equally to every normal boss with the exception of some dodging.

At the beginning:
Dessa: “Hey… I remember this from somwhere not to long ago…”

After defeating the boss:
Dessa: “What? They’re going to blast the whole facility. You need to get out!”

At the end:
Dessa: “Uff.. that was close. Tell me when you want to move on.”

I think Magic Find gear is fine as it is. You pay for less stats to get better items. You’re basically sacrificing stats for better drops. The only problem I have is that Magic Find does hardly anything. The chance of a better drop increases by a very few percent making it almost useless.

I run fractals with magic find gear and switch to the other gear before boss. Hence I do fine with magic find gear. I get more vitality when using my normal gear due to me using a hybrid combination of berserker and soldier.

1. I wouldn’t buy any weapon or gear. In some cases you can do very well without.
If you still want to I’d rather change my gear than weapon.
2. The best crafts for actual use are artificer and chef.
The best crafts for leveling up is jeweler.
The rest is for equipment, sigills and runes basically.

At what level can i start running dungeons? (Currently i am 17 level and i haven’t seen any hint about dungeons)

- The first dungeon is unlocked at level 30.

Do the dungeons in GW2 follow the norm: tank/healer/dps?

- It depends on the dungeon. There are dungeons where only dps goes in and comes out without trouble. There are also dungeons where tanks and dps is needed. Healers aren’t needed every class has heal skills. However supporter are always nice.

If yes, can you tell me briefly the class/role assigment? e.g. warrior→tank/dps etc.

warrior→ tank/dps/support
guardian→ tank/support
necromancer→ tank/dps
mesmer→ dps
thief→ dps/support
engineer→ support
ranger→ dps/support
ele → dps

What’s the order of the dungeons?

There are 8 dungeons + temporal dungeons and fractals of the mist.
Level 30 – Ascalonian Catacombs
Level 40 – Caudecus’s Manor
Level 50 – Twilight Arbor
Level 60 – Sorrow’s Embrace
Level 70 – Citadel of Flame
Level 76 – Honor of the Waves
Level 78 – Crucible of Eternity
Level 80 – The Ruined City of Arah
Level 80 – Fractals of the Mists

Is there a Looking For Group system ingame? (I know about www.gw2lfg.com)

As much as I know there isn’t currently.

I know that gathering/crafting can boost experience gaining. Is there a way to see the active gathering nods on the mini map?

All nods, trees and other resources can be seen on the minimap if they’ve not been taken by you.

Is there a Looking for Guild function or any other recruiting tool ingame?

As much as I know there isn’t. You have to ask around or wait for a guild to ask you.

Is there any to alter sections of the gui? For example, make name plates bigger, add numbers on them, etc
Is there a “least pain” leveling path? To explain myself, when i left the 1-15 area i was 15 level. When i entered the next zone, marked as 15-(Some number i currently don’t remember) i had a very hard time to move to the second “heart” area since i was surrounded by several 17+ mobs which i couldn’t handle all together. Following the story “chain quest” is a safe leveling path?

Not that I know. The most levels you make when exploring the world, doing the story and doing heart quests. If you can’t get further in a 15-25 area you can just as well journey through lions arch to another races area where you can do their 1-15 to level up.

Are there mounts in the game?

No there aren’t.

sPvP itself gave no titles but general PvP does.
Titles you get for beating a certain amount of players or for winning a certain amount of matches or for getting a certain amount of rank points.

I guess those people got the tPvP rank “Champion …” and as that one is harder to achieve they use that one instead.

I am a bit of a loner and like to solo a lot. Will this work out past early levels given my great sword weapon set?

- If you do not run into enemies that are levels above you and keep your armor up-to-date this should be no problem.

I don’t do PvP because I’m too slow and always get torn up by some person running circles around me slicing me up haha. However I would like to try WvW. Do guardians have to be able to fly around in circles while pressing every attack key without having to look which ones they are pressing?

- Usually people attack as zerg. If you’re in the zerg you should be fine.

What do I have to look forward to playing a guardian as opposed to other classes?

The guardian can have a lot of armor but has hardly any health. It’s wise to always keep your armor’s defense at high numbers (you notice when it is low when you get too much damage from enemies of the same level as you).

What will I probably dislike playing a guardian past L10?

- I don’t know what you will dislike but what I dislike is that the guardian has hardly any health and his attacks are slow.

What should I certainly start doing right away with my guardian aside from just running around killing stuff?

Basically exploring. When you explore the world you level up quite fast. When you reach level 11 read through the traits what they do and decide which one to choose. So basically the same thing you do with others too.

What should I focus my weapon and armor upgrades on (I didn’t even know they existed until today lol)?

1. damage; 2. toughness; 3. vitality; crit chance (optional), crit (optional)
sigill’s and runes depend on your opinion. I’d always advise the superior rune of divinity.

Also my early impression is that crafting is kind of more work than it is worth. It seems I can find just about any item I want in the trade store at a good price. Is there more to it later that makes it worth doing?

Except chef and artificer all jobs only have the benefit of either runes, sigills, bags or high end items (exotics, rares) and or higher objectives (e.g. legendaries)

Is Rare gear enough just for PvE, excluding dungeons?
- Yes, definitely. Although you might sometimes run into trouble with world events (especially in orr) and… Southsun Cove

What are some of the PvE endgame content I could do? I’m not into PvP and WvW
and not into dungeons either. I don’t want to grind for legendaries / gold too just want to play for fun.

- Finishing exploration. Doing events. General journey. Basically all you can do in PvE without dungeons. Killing some bosses, help people, doing some world events with other people. Or group events.

May I know whats the diving googles completion?
- There are goggles for diving purposes around the world. You get an achievement for finding and using them to jump into water around the world. (I think there are about 40 or so)

I bought rare armor and then dropped exotic armor from bosses, dungeons etc. so that’s a fine way to get the stuff.

Necromancer is better than mesmer in my opinion.

Easy to play, you do decent damage (even though 600, 600 1200 isn’t much), you have a lot of condition damage, you have lots of health.

Necro is basically the best hybrid class and you can skill him on whatever you like. Condition damage, normal damage, complete hybrid, soldier/berserker hybrid, death shroud, minions. There’s plenty to choose from and every trait can be really powerful.

Mesmer is difficult to play in my opinion. After few minutes of play with mesmer I already didn’t want to anymore.

This idea is awesome.

I think the dungeon would require to be shortened and there should be only one boss of the boss (either the dredge or the fire legion one as alternitive).

As the fractals of the mist resemble memories of things that happened in the past (e.g. the war between charr and human) this would fit in perfectly.

The “fiery allience fractal”. It even sounds awesome :P
The achievement would be not to be hit by the traps or by the bosses (charr) waves.

It’s true that a lot of people bought the Legendaries from the shop but how do you think those are put into the trading post? By people who crafted them. So there always were more people who crafted the legendaries than the people who bought them.

Never the less I agree that legendaries (just like ascended) should be account bound on receive.

I understand that legendaries require a lot of work to get but still. The current procedure is more than frightening. I’d prefer to collect only a few rare drops instead of a huge amount of many items.

This is my list I’d suggest but it’s just my opinion mixed with what other said.

Depending on how many friends who play with you I’d suggest this row:
1. Warrior (good damage lives long)
2. Necromancer (has support lives long)
3. Ranger (has support lives well)
4. Guardian (life go down fast but can heal)
5. Thief (life go down fast and it’s difficult to survive if not skilled)
6. Elementalist (does fine damage goes down fast)
7. Engineer (at first seems to be weak if not played correctly)
8. Mesmer (requires skill to be played very well)

(I haven’t played ranger and engineer yet)

GummiBear.2756:

Ehmm any guild you create exist on any and ALL servers at once already and can have members from multiples servers as well if they feel like it. Influence and upgrades bought with influence however is NOt shared amongst servers however but each server has its own pool of influence, guild chat works fine cross server however and such

From what I heard a guild once moved to another server and they had to restart from NULL.
Guess it was a bug then? Just like the bug that you can’t see the trek points of guild trek when you’re guest on the respective server.

Khisanth.2948:

You could gamble for one using 4 major runes.

I somewhere read that 3 minor runes of monk and 1 minor rune of warrior creates a major rune of divinity. I’d like to check upon this myth myself unfortunately doing the catacombs of ascalon doesn’t really fit into my time table if you could say so.

1. If with ranged dots ranged traps are okay, I’d advise necromancer. It’s currently the top class when it comes to dots.
2. There is no in-game group finder for dungeons. But you can freely ask in the map chat and sure find a lot of people. Else you can login as guest on other servers and ask where. If that’s not enough there is an online page called lfggw2 (http://gw2lfg.com/lfgs/new) So no worries.

Usually the most played dungeons are citadel of flames and fractals.

Kelso.8539:

I’m not sure yet but I think i will pick Desolation.
Also up to what level can you switch servers for free?

Not at all anymore. Server switching now costs gems which you receive either with gold or real money.
Switching to a server with low population is cheaper than switching to one with higher population.

Is it possible to craft the superior rune of divinity using a certain recipe of runes in the mystic forge?

Zlociutki.9165:

New option for guild.

For merits and influece guild will be able to hire a spy or scout. This scout/spy will inform the Guild about the state of events/meta-event. When boss will show up or event can be activated (about 10 minutes earlier).

One scout/spy for one event/meta event,
build time 1 day,
each event can be tracked once a day,
cost: 1-20merits and 1-10k influence.
cost of build the t1 scout/spy: 50k influecen and 50 merits,
option this can be activated when giuld will complet all guild mission and t3 guild mission.

Each tier of scout will ad 1 scout/spy up to 5.

This would be fairly helpful and replace the “Dragon Timers” currently used. However I think guild merits would be too expensive for this… Especially as you’ll need it for several current bosses going on. Except you make it an unlockable. Still 50 merits is a ton for small guilds which exist just as well.

Fildydarie.1496:

“We’re not saying we won’t do it, but we don’t plan on it.”

Funny how the devs say they do not plan on it yet:
- test weapons from 81-100.
- make obvious places to for level 90 and level 100 vendors for pvp.

Might be coincidence..
Well thanks for your responds. I guess this question won’t be answered till the time has come… We should all mentally ready ourselves not to rage and be surprised.

Honestly though… I’m still gathering my level 80 exo armor and ascended gear. It would be a kitten shame to lose those ascended items but… I wouldn’t mind a level increase much. In fact I would find it quite sweet to push myself to search and gather and collect the said items again. I would also enjoy an increase in crafting levels for new armor, weapons, sigills, runes, meals, potions and more.

“The variety of a game increases the player range and amount as well as fun of the game.”

I can’t imagine the Fractals having this feature. The fractals are already pumped up with at least 6x the size of features of a normal dungeon. Adding more would make it sooner or later explode. For the other dungeons I guess that’s okay. (even though the arah version of this would be even worse than arah already is.)

Fractals don’t have as many features as you’re implying. Adding Vanquishing wouldn’t make it explode.

Not sure why it would make Arah worse?

Might be only my opinion that fractals are huge already. Though some more “memories” to play in would be nice.

Let’s say… if you choose the wrong way on your first arah run you’re kinda…. silenced and humiliated on your opinion about arah.

Name: GreenNekoHaunt
Main Character: Faust The Viii

Interested Activities: General PvE, PvE boss fights, daily dailies, fractals, citadel of flames, occasional PvP, occasional WvW, daily PvP, leveling up other chars
Active: on German holidays, when I have holiday set up, during weekend, and during the week only active on daily basis.
Additional Comments: I’m a coincidental collector, love crafting, I’m pretty open to different classes and enjoy PvE the most. I’m also a glitch and bug finder and play a lot. I grew up with SNES so I love the SAB.

Are you willing to participate in Operation: UNION’S project: I always enjoy to play with other people so I guess yeah. As long it’s no problem to not represent the guild.

Of course it works. You can put the skin on a weapon that is not yet soulbound give the weapon to your mesmer and use a trasmutation stone to combine the skin of the first weapon with the stats of the second.
