Guild Wars 2

Stinking Krait probably ate the poor frog if it even survived the great flooding to start with.

Yes.. the game is a breath of fresh air from other games I’ve played. I can finally immerse myself into my character, explore, fight and also mingle with others. I honestly hated MMO’s with a passion but I’m loving this game. I’m looking forward to expansions in the future but quite honetsly I’m still exploring everything as it is right now and I’m not even close to being done.

This game has some staying power to it !

The game is fine I see no reason to switch anything. If they want to introduce a hard mode for some players that would be fine. I’ll just sit here and wait for all the crying once that happens because people won’t be able to find groups for it.

Should be turned off outside of P vs P…… I see no reason that it’s even needed in P vs E. The icons are very annoying on the maps to start with. Grant the title stop the annoying blue symbol we all have to see.

Seriously ?

This is laughable at best. There’s a ton of content if you play the game !

Thanks for the reply and the advice. I had been wondering if trying to up my critcal hit chance was worth it or if I needed to actually go for condition damage itself. Most of my time is spent exploring and I’m not a sit on one area and farm it type of player ( very boring ) regardless of what it might yield.

I still trying to figure out how some of these guys are saying they are at 3000 plus pts in these stats though. Are they all using end game items with ubber stats ?

I’ve hit level 80 and looking for some direction or suggestions on my stats. I play my character strictly for P vs E and the W vs W isn’t something I’m even interested in. I’ve been humbled in a few spots and I think it’s gear I need to be looking into and believe it or not at level 80 I’m still learning some of the game mechanics. Hoping for some suggestions on where I should focus now.

I use a sword / axe for my main and switch to a longbow for ranged attacks and large mobs with other players.

Power – 1921
Precision – 1359
Toughness – 1186
Vitality – 1479

and my life sits around 24,002 with a critical chance of 29% without buffs from skills.

I play mostly for bleeding attacks with my sword and they seem to kick off rather nice most of the time and the bow works nice for adding burning damage.

Where should I focus my accessories and gear to augment this ? Should I ramp up critical hit chances, and I have really no clue what runes I should be looking at. I’ve pretty much used what I’ve found or gotten as rewards.

Would the ability of the great sword attacks to heal you be enough to off set or help in any of the above situations ? I haven’t made it that far with mine to try but great sword attacks can heal if you ramp up that right trait.

Good Gravy !

I can see this switch upset a lot of folks and I’ve already mentioned my concerns but this is a possible slippery slope that will really hurt a lot of players and not just us guardians if they plan on re-arranging skill bars every time something is adjusted. They had also better make sure they can balance P vs P separate from P vs E.

Have we forgotten the HUGE failure in GW 1 concerning all of that ? I had at one time almost stopped playing and low and behold they started to balance the skills separately. I also never laughed so hard when I heard it mentioned in a certain clip on U-tube ( which I’m too lazy to look up ) when even a certain Arena.net employee said " Thank God " when it finally happened during one of the convention Q & A’s.

Whoever is calling the shots now could learn a bit from that history. Keep screwing with P vs E for P vs P changes and you will loose some of your player base, you did before. I’ve supported Arena.net many many times but this is something you did wrong then and are doing wrong now.

Thank you,

Was able to look at the req’s so far and that’s pretty insane right now.

That is some pretty amazing drawing. I have a hard time with stick figures and they don’t even look like sticks when I’m done with them. Waiting to see how the others turn out. Very nice job.

I see these on the GW2 database but I’ve been unable to even produce one crafting for any satchel set. I’m guessing these have to do with the Mystic Forge in LA ? That thing is an ape when it comes to crafting and the components and combinations are far too many to even attempt to just keep sticking things in it to make anything. Some of the recipes I’ve seen for a few things it makes don’t even make sense as far as the items used to make it go but anyway if there is anyone who can point me in the direction of making some of these it would be appreciated.

Really ?

My biggest complaint is why mess with the button placement at all ? I hate re-learning things to appease another or a change done for P vs P. If they are starting to change things for the sake of P vs P and affecting P vs E play this is a road they really don’t want to go down. I would have thought they learned that lesson from Guild Wars I

( All you’ll do is consistently tick people the hell off and force some of us to quit playing all together ).

I hate P vs P !!! always have and could care less how it stacks against P vs E. They may have changed how P vs P works for GW 2 but the attitudes and players who enjoy that are still the same ole crowd that have played that play style in any other game and it will never be a crowd I enjoy gaming with. Tried it and quit shortly after the game started, the same attitudes and players will always be there.

A major part of the problem is the Min/Maxing you find everyone doing. What’s the biggest amount of damage I can do ? What’s the longest I can keep up " X " to ward this off ? You want to avoid changes like this in the future then start thinking like that before you ever say it’s ready to be played.

Some of us simply want to play and enjoy the game with friends so please don’t make this a trend to change up things every time there is a need to balance something. Really ? You actually needed to mess with the skill bar itself ?

Just curious since the guardian has a much lower life base then the warrior. What mark or amount are most of you shooting for on life for a level 80 guardian ? I know armor, accessories and such will all come into play but what I’m looking at is a base number to use as a rule of thumb.

20 K ?

I also posted this over on the fan site I usually follow and there was also the suggestion made of making the chests a gold sink where instead of buying a key with gems an NPC lock smith could open the things for you at a price.

One of the other things you find in those chests which I find almost useless at this point is the tonics. They take up way too much room, are account bound so I can’t even save em up and give em to friends for an in-game party or anything so those things take up some unwanted space as well. I do like the detail and some of the forms we can morph into but being account bound kind of dumbs down the whole idea of the tonics.

So……….

The tonics need a title perhaps that folks can unlock or I was thinking what about if you manage to drink enough of the said beasties ( making the chests also worth more ) that due to toxic effects from drinking " X " amount of the same tonics you get yourself the ability to have an ever lasting tonic after so many are drank. Say tonic whatever # becomes you’re ever lasting tonic. Those things were tradable, very popular and a hit in GW 1. The problem with the idea though is these are currently account bond and that would need to change as well. Bet you see these helping increase the trading post activity as well if they were more usable as well. Again it adds value to things we know are already in these chests.

I can come up with a ton of ideas about these chests but as they stand now they really do need some re-work when things settle down for the design and dev guys.

Excuse me if this has already been discussed but I’d like to make some suggestions and comments on these items.

These things are dropping all over the place and to be quite honest they’re not even worth the price of a key. I’m seeing unlocked boxes going for a measly 4 bronze coins. You get some deceit buffs sometimes but it’s not worth the price of a key. The drops you get are dismal for the most part and not even worth a gamble. The exp boast is nice if you get one and the magic find but hey I can get something better from my guilds influence for free why bother ?

Suggestions – ( It’s obvious the chest drops need to be improved without having any balance issues with some godly items inside ) so…… that being said. What about things that are simply nice to have in the first place ?

All us die hard fans want to support Arena.net but I’m not buying anything which doesn’t give me something in return. So how’s this for some added items to throw in the chest that might help the sale of gems while also benefiting players ? I’m all for helping and supporting the gem store ( micro-transactions help keep the game alive ) but seriously Arena.net you made a dud with these chests.

Minis – Add a small % chance to have a random mini drop from one of these. Enough so that it doesn’t compete with the purchase of those in the gem store but allows players who don’t want to buy gems a chance to get them otherwise.

Crafting Materials – Add a chance for a rare crafting material drop. I doubt with all the crafting going on that this would have any impact on the in-game economy.

Recipes – Add some unique recipes for items that can only be found in these chests. Now we’re talking, I want a recipe for that Binford 3000 Grawl Whacker !

Treasure map – Inherit a treasure map. Que up a mini dynamic event where said person is directed to a buried treasure when they get to " X marks the spot". Something like some of those boss chests already in-game. Assuming this could be added sometime later down the road. We P vs E types love easter egg hunts !

I also realize that there are far more pressing issues with the game at hand but there’s my two cents on improving something which could be made better for both Arenanet and players alike.
