Guild Wars 2

Skill and Trait changes? MINIMAP BREAKS

Never underestimate the ability of Anet to break something totally unrelated to the patch.

WvW rewards have always been total crap

You should transfer off BG

Account-wide WXP Ranks – just another Anet lie?

Pvp tards, smack talking, specific meta, no rewards, boring game mode, small scale (lacks ‘epic’ feel), is basically solo play because you can’t rely on your team (in hot join), specific number of players required for tPvP, etc etc

But the big one:

‘Twitch’ gameplay required but you have to fight the laggy unreponsive game most of the time…

Come to SoR BL to watch OnS & ZN get wiped repeatedly by a pug zerg.

Anything that hastens JQ’s demise should be celebrated.

Still hoping they add Accessory slot items to the vendor….

SlasherX.5198:

Congrats Blackgate! It feels more of a family to me than just a community..

I wouldn’t get too attached, the contracts have expired and the guilds are transferring off again.

You guys probably should’ve bought a nicer finisher from the cashshop for gems, it would’ve been cheaper.

Guild Wars 2 advertisements, online and elsewhere clearly state there is “new content every two weeks”.

Arenanet cannot simply ‘take a break’ from fortnightly releases, it would be a blatant breach to customers who bought the game on that pretense.

Well I suppose I will have to gear my WvW main asap, however we don’t know if Solider’s insignia are going to be available or not…

The hard part will be choosing a 2nd character to work on after that. 4 alts, all with different roles.

As a fellow staff ele, there is really no excuse to being sniped twice for those sort of numbers.

Solutions:
Get full celestial (or a mix to produce similar)
Position yourself correctly with relation to your zerg and the enemy zerg
Rotate attunements to keep protection and regen up
Armor of Earth ftw
Armor of Earth @ 50% HP trait ftw
Pop Magnetic Aura pretty much on CD
If you find yourself getting focused, MOVE kitten .

Sacrx pretty much covered all of this in his expose’ months ago.

But essentially, sPvP will never be an esport.

The WvW community had the GvG scene heading in that direction, with far far more viewers on the unofficial GvG streams than on official GW2 streams of sPvP. But Arenanet felt threatened, and they nuked it before it could take off.

3/50

Too much Scarlet kitten in the way

More achievements the better, I really want that 10K chest.

Rainbow Sprint.3215:

The minotaurs are no more than mindless beasts. The Jotun however are sentient creatures. That alliance makes no sense but neither did the krait and the nightmare court, or the dredge and the flame legion.

Maybe the Jotun will enslave the Minotaurs. Or maybe Scarlet will give the Minotaurs intelligence if they agree to work with the Jotun. They are very strong, so they could build lots of towers all over the world.

As all keen Scarlet observers (hunters?) have observed, she is working her way across Tyria, pairing up each and every faction.

So the question is, which alliances are you most looking forward to?

An alliance that makes a lot of sense is Jotun and Minotaurs, because they are both muscly. The Shiverpeaks are my favourite zones, I would love to see them totally transformed by Scarlet.

Personally I would like to see the Skritt and Centaurs paired up, as the Skritt could ride Centaurs into battle. Imagine seeing Stonemist Castle and all of World vs World being attacked by waves of them!

Phantasmal (SoR)

He’s good at repairing stuff

Thank you Arenanet and thank you to everyone who has pushed this idea. The playerbase, in conjunction with commonsense, has won a great victory today.

Long may we champion sensible causes and find success.

They added the new heal skill and were like “well that pretty much covers everything”.

My advice is to hold off on buying anything until February. Likely that ascended gear will also see new infusions. We haven’t seen uncommon rarity infusions or higher yet.

At one point before launch we considered naming our guild something to do with slaying dragons.

Lucky we didn’t, because we would look pretty kitten stupid right about now.

New profession will be Gempurchaser and a new race of Cashshopians.

Good try, poor execution.

6 hour tiebreak battle for SM with no siege and 400 player limit per server.

Nothing created since the launch of the game has been alt-friendly. “We (redacted) make grindy games”

My party members are getting this same bug.

Typical GW2 patch: 1 bug fix, 2 new bugs.

It would be pretty easy to make the Tequatil encounter instanced and tuned for 25 people rather than 80.

They have shown the ability to instance areas with the new Kessex Hills, personal story, and older stuff like dungeons and overflows etc.

Imagine a whole new addition to the game by using existing tech. But no, we get Scarlet’s Alliance of the Fortnight.

Everyone from coders to QA is swamped by the 2 week timetable. Monthly polish, bug fix and performance updates with 3 monthly content drops = win.

chars of 15

You expected nice loot from actually completing parts of the game?

And Dulfy would still have a guild up on release day.

The main thing I want from the list is the new skills and traits. That is what will actually freshen the game a little bit.

The telling fact about elites is that you would trade it for another utility slot without question…

So we have a slower single target Mace stun, or a weak aoe hammer stun. So I’m meant to be tempted to take the mace now…why?

Haha really? “sufficiently stacked”, well now I have heard it all

Unfortunately, despite launching “when it’s ready”…this game lacks some very basic functionality that all other modern multiplayer games come with as standard.

A year on we still have the barest minimum of Party UI, semi-functional Guild UI and laughably sad Squad Commander ‘icon’.

This is exactly the sort of ‘polish’ we were promised BEFORE launch, let alone a year after.

Dragons aren’t relevant to GW2 anymore.

Honestly I think they would claim #2 has been fulfilled with the balance patches, and just push the rest into “looking ahead for 2014”.

The game desperately needs new skills to freshen it up, but they are so blinded by pushing out “content” they have forgotten that the things we actually use to play that content are old, tired and boring.

My character using the same 10 skills in level 500 armour is just the same to me as my character using those skills in level 400 armour.

Is she still alive? I swear the Mad King does more in Lion’s Arch than her.

Well there goes my viable option for a legendary.

When I saw that bloom icon on the map I thought my game UI was bugged.

NO SUCH LUCK.

Why does Varonos Doolbro and the villagers of Moogooloo seem totally oblivious to the massive new tower of evil right next to their homes?

Trahearne should slay Scarlet in single combat.

Sounds like it will require a Vision Crystal.

It’s so sad to see epic cities like Hoelbrak deserted.

The truth is in the last paragraph. They’ll be so busy with living story crap they won’t have time for any improvements to existing content, let alone important endgame….WvW.

Can you please get rid of the living story and personal story hints from the top right!!!

Good luck to Bill and his team. I hope his employer supports his work by providing upgraded hardware to complement the coding changes he is making.

They need a waypoint at the TP in LA, so I don’t have to run from the bank side to the TP side and back again 50 times a day.
