Guild Wars 2

10 FPS is definitely bad for spvp, but i would say it is both really, you said you were good in gw1… well i havent played a lot of pvp in gw1 true, but the amount i ahve played is easy to tell that they are VERY FAR apart in how to play them, so doubt many if any playing ability you had there transfer over very well in gw2. So yeah i would say both though mostly l2p, as you can usually learn to play around a bad fps to a certain degree, though you never be a top player without at least 30+ preferably 60+

1) Yes legendary is an OPTIONAL grin for a more flashy skin, and will always only be on par with the best weapon, it wont ever be any better
2) just click a waypoint there and you tele there directly if you are too picky to pay well go through heart of the mists, or wvw maps, so up to you to choose if you treasure your time or your money the most
3) in chat you always been able to, in trading post they said they had been working on it in past, dunno about the progress on it though.
4)probably an issue related to number 3
5)wouldn’t really work in this game due to how you dont need to have a target in first place to attack someone with most skills
6)yes please, more than 1 targeting symbol would be very helpful
7)filters does exist and they usually get the job done tbh
8)the tools them selves list what they can gather, so not a big deal imo, or just always use the highest possible you can buy and it wont be an issue, it not like even the ori tools are that expensive, and now you can even get the advanced ones from laurels too with a lot more charges on top if you dont want to use money on it
9)you should be able to AFAIK
10)well it have one (a tab under your friends window), but yes it could really really use a improvement, a dungeon tool no thanks though, as that been proven multiple times in past to degrade the mentality of players entering in dungeons
11)meh don’t care much but could be a decent addition i geuss
12)not sure what you mean exactly here
13)would be nice as long as there is a option to auto-decline, in the meantime though if you want to dual a friend pick and empty spvp server in the game browser and you can usually get at least a couple fights before other ppl start to join you
14)yes this would be very much appreciated by a lot of ppl i bet
15)is quite a bit of it today, and LOT more than there used to for sure, just search for spineguard on the TP
16)No, would make it way too easy to get back in fight after you die, making it impossible to push back enemies assaulting you on your side of your map, is a reason they are so scarce. If you want a speed buff at start have your guild put down a roadmarker

As for RTL, just turn of auto-targeting in options and it wont attack random targets you don’t have targeted

Also this doesn’t look like a qeustion to me…

(…)taking a spot for a leveling character.

My alternate advise is to level to level 30 so you have reasonable traits, stats and all skills and then you can join the zerg and actually make a difference.

Although this argument is heavily server-dependent. Personally, I have never seen a queue for WvW and leveled one of my alts mainly there; I have never felt that I am “taking” someones spot.
The same argument would go for doing map completion or jumping puzzles – are you really sure that when the player cap is reached, one person makes any difference?

Yep very server-dependant as you said, when i played back on my old server “Whiteside Ridge” there was NEVER EVER any queues to any of the wvw maps, now that I moved to Gandara, there is as good as always queue to EB, and even sometimes for the borderlands as well

maddoctor.2738:

It depends on you if you really want the amulet or not, it’s only 5-10% better than an exotic amulet so personaly I don’t care about the amulets (yet)

I honestly don’t like most of the ascended items either. People get blinded by the flashy color and the excessive numbers on it, but if you sit down and number crunch it, it’s not much better than an exotic that can be more appropriately tailored to your build. Most ascended have such random worthless stats your build have no use for they are not really worth the effort needed for the tiny amount of gain you might get from the stats on it you do need. But like you said, it comes down to personal preference, if you really can’t live without ascended stuff, I think it would be possible to gear alts, but not a feasible thing to do. You’re gonna work twice as hard for the same results as just outfitting them in proper exotic stats for your build. In the future more specific ascended will probably be released so for now it might be better to just hold onto those laurels.

Well if you are running a rabid-geared build getting exotic jewelry never been and easy feat, so i have been stuck before this with rare jewelry for quite a while. and while it true you can add more variety, but honesntly i think most ppl uses a jewel with same stats as the jewelry itself, so only gaining there

As Na said they do look, however if we for a moment assumed they didnt like you seem to think, then this thread in its entirety would be pointless, since they dont look, and thus would never see that you think they should look more

Solid Gold.9310:

Well opened them all, that was pretty boring, erm “Wondrous” !…… Right.

well the tokens are really wondrous in the long run if you go for a full dungeon set, it cuts quite a few runs off compared to before you got these bags

im with narce here too, and proper use of invisible etc bags you would never actually be able to compact anything you dont want to compact anyway

you get a bag of coin, some liquid karma and some dungeon tokens and that pretty much it, you wont ever get any equipment directly from them anyway

SpiryX.6792:

Lol =) You made a lot i don’t know what game i am playing then must be wrong game haha i prefer orr then fractals loosing hours for no rewards just to get at the 10 level and ascendent and bye no more fractals because of agony. The only thing i was up for them was those items nothing more because as i said no loot at all few BLUE and at bosses only full green so useless waste of time . Ehhh maybe i am crazy who knows but it is very fustrating to play so many hours at the end without loot and no rewarding to go one more time .. so ugly .

YOu dont really need AR in lvl 10-19, you can easily heal trough the agony in those lvl’s (though you need to know how to play your chracter to survive the higher end end of that spectrum, but that not cause of the agony, but just that the mobs get high dmg and fast executing attacks etc). Think i was at 15 before i got my first 5 AR

1. ehmm nerf in what way? just saying nerf is in no way informative.
2. hell yes stealth finish is lame
3. as long as you are not downed already it faily easy to counter thiefs in stealth if you just have a bit of awareness, since stealth dont last more than a could seconds
4. try to explain that a bit more didnt get any meaning out of that

As for “thieves are effective as multiple things” while somewhat correct, it also those things that make the least difference in wvw usually, like roaming around killing lone players, or maybe if you are a good you can solo cap a supply camp, for siege defence as well as offense the sux major time, with cluster bomb being the only 1200 range skill they have. Also as for you noticing more thief i say that is the thing with that you tend to notice the class you play the most, you don’t really realize that there is about the same amount of the others classes as well

agree 100% SOMETHING have to be done, trying to start a guild too is a nightmare, every time ppl see someone not representing does make the guild look bad in others eyes, yet as pointed out above ppl might have various reason to not represent, feels like a loose-loose situation here

Yes i would LOVE this too, simply not feasibly ATM to put crafting mats in guild bank as there is way too many types of them

Iris.5918:

Why do you want to complete the hints to begin with? It has nothing to do with any achievement right?

there is an achievement for completing all hints yes

SynfulChaot.3169:

I just recently ran AC with a group with a couple 80s and 3 lower level charas. Some of the lower level charas were noticeably more effective than the 80. Please don’t judge skill based on level. And remember that players cannot gain skill without being given the chance.

yes THAT bolded part there cant be said enough times, and seem to be a problem not only here in gw2 but in about any game

Snowpaw.6287:

Probably take 10 minutes <.<;

NO form of coding can ever take only 10 minutes, specially not on a game this size, however yes it would be rather fast from a coding perspective still and i would love it as well

guild banks are server specific too, so remember to put that stuff on some characters and move it into the bank on the new server too. The only thing i noticed that i noticed when moving my guild that was shared between server was guild chat, guild name, and then the guild logo (meaning you dont need to buy the template if you dont have a need to edit it)

Also ascended items have slightly higher of the normal stats than exotic, and so far there is no way to ahve had enough laurels to buy even an ascended amulets (though if you done your monthly and all dailys 2 days more and you will be able to get and amulet)

influence and upgrades are server specific, so whatever influence and upgrades you get on one server wont follow you to any other server. and yes it cost a one time fee to change to another server (the higher the pop of the server the more gems it cost)

are you moving around while fighting? NOONE can just stand and soak up all the damage, you have to actually find ways to mitigate it though moving, dodging at the right moments, and clever use of defensive skills

some kind of martial arts guy yeah would be nice

WTF are you on about mix… it cost only the gift (500 fractal relics) and ONE Vial of Condensed Mists Essence, and then either 40 crystal or 240 Philosopher’s Stone depending on what kind of infusion slot you take, wouldn’t really call it a grind to get the first upgrade, the 250 ecto is first for the 2nd upgrade, but after first upgrade it is already vastly superior to rare or even exotics backpieces with a gem in it, and all the 2nd upgrade gives you is +5AR, which shouldn’t be needed beyond the higher lvl’s of fractals

STill yeah it would be nice if the exotic version at least had a slot for a gem to make it usefull over the even rare with a gem slotted

if you get it again, instead of rebooting your computer try go to your task manager, and look in processes and see if a gw2.exe ain’t running in the background there, and then close it, not saying its not a bug might be a bug in code preventing it from closing properly, though could be a kittenup of your computer too, but at least this is a wuicker work around than rebooting

I keep lauging inside everytime someone want centaurs as playable, some of the skill animations would look hilarious, specailly a death blossom… and dwarves well they all turned to stone, and went underground, so would not be a room in the lore for those.

Homes could work, but realy 10gold for the smallest one? WAY too high, i been playing since headstart and have a total of about 40g or so among my chracters, 10 gold is quite a bit if you are not farming 24/7, which the game is not meant to be about.

mounts… just no, countless of threads about it already

Kasaeva.4691:

To all those who are saying engineers and elementalists have the least number of weapon sets available, I’d like to point out that elementalists have the same number of weapon sets as thieves who have in-combat weapon swapping. So, in my opinion, the argument of ‘least number of weapon sets’ is invalid for at least the elementalist.

Wrong, ele have 1 2handed (staff), 2 main hand (dagger and scepter) and 2 off hand (dagger and focus)
Thief have 1 handed (shortbow), 3 main hand (dagger, sword, pistol) and 2 off hand (dagger and pistol)

Add to this that the main hand #3 skill changes depending on the main hand you could argue this makes the amount of weapon sets bigger than any other class with same amount of weapon, but even if we don’t factor that in, thief still have one more main hand and same amount of 2handed and off hand weapon as ele

What would you do with the information if you had it? If someone’s account has been compromised there is nothing that can be done except to contact support, and if you’ve given the culprit permission to withdraw from the bank anyway, then they had permission.

And sorry, but no — not anyone’s account can be compromised. You have to do some silly stuff to make your account vulnerable.

Not saying it would be a bad thing to have, but I don’t really see any usefulness either.

while what you say is completely true, just using a mobile authenticator makes it virtually impossible to get your account compromised, unless your mobile phone is stolen, it still silly you cant see the account name at least

But then what would you do with the information? How would the change help?

I mean, this is something that would take someone’s time to fix, and I can’t see any benefit at all. The guild system needs so much work already for things that would actually make a difference, that I’d hate to see them spending time on something that doesn’t serve a purpose. Like I said, I don’t see any reason to not have the name displayed, but I also don’t see any reason to do so.

While there is nothing that could be done about items already lost, you would at least be able to warn other guilds about inviting this guy in the future (or hell be sure to you don’t invite him again after you get your bank back up)

NinjaEd.3946:

GummiBear.2756:

stability and quickness finishers are fine imo, stealth are NOT, the reason is even if they are hard to counter quickness if you are fast enough can be interrupted still, and well stability can be bursted down, a stealth you cant even see is coming

burst down stability? not so much. The people who have access to a stability utility skill either are heavy armor or are pretty good at staying alive regardless of the 3 or w/e seconds it takes to finish(ele stability gives protection and they already outlive anyone atm, mesmer just makes clones and you burst down likely the wrong one). Not to mention mistform finisher or that mini engineer skill. If they wana use an elite skill just to gain stability for a finisher well then thats their loss but I rarely see that.

well as long as they are standing and finishing they cant move, and really? burst down the wrong mesmer… did you REALLY say that? you know clones don’t finish ppl only the real one, so a rather big give away which one you should burst down… your whole argument pretty much revolves around you (and your friends) got outplayed

swords #1 deal more damage per hit than both dagger and pistol for one thing, and the #2 on sword can remove conditions and break stuns to balance it out, yes combos are good, but they are not everything

Oscar.4628:

The guild bank is there for members to take items they need or want from it ._.
So you just put items you don’t want to have there..
I don’t think you’ve understand the point of the guild bank yet..

Yes i do… but i also understand how to add in a layer of security, as in ppl ask the officers if they see anything in there they can use, and the officers mail it to them, it is as simple as that

Linguistically Inept.6583:

would love to see this… but seems a bit OP
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Veil / http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Signet_of_air as a comparison

well try compare it to http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Signet_of_the_Locust instead,a nd it actually seems UP (my point is you cant compare like that directly, you have to take into consideration the whole class)

sure would be great to know, though still i dont get why any guild would allow a totally fresh member to withdraw directly from the guild bank…

xCrusadentx.2784:

Lysander.2840:

I think it would be awesome if we could use the dyes we unlock on our characters to dye our hair, accessories, and weapons.

Hair? Yes.
Weapons? Maybe.
Accessories? They don’t even show up on your character.

if anything it will be on the weapons first, since using it on the hair would be intruding on the makeover kits, which means it be intruding on a income source, one im sure is rather major at that for ANet. no i am NOT saying ANet’s are milking like some ppl suggest, however they are first and foremost a company, and a company need to earn money to stay alive

jeez this again, if anything either ALL professions get one or more extra out of weapon swaps, or none gets it, engi and ele already are using the least bag space for extra weapons due to the limited amount of weapons they can use, so don’t see why only they should be allowed to use even less, if the other professions cant as well…

also for the others pvp achivements, my it sounds to me like you can complete them jsut walking around in the heart of the mists “lobby area” and the tutorial for “spvp” when you jion heart of the mists first time (though it honestly way too long ago i did them to really remember it)

RoyalPredator.9163:

Hela! I’m working on a huge redesign for GW2 for…years?

i honestly stopped reading when i saw that and that you had 3-4 post for it, too much to read considering you don’t even seem to have a grasp of time. FYI the game only been out for 5-6 months

since the hint is under PvP and not WvW it should be rather obvious it is the spvp map with the treb in it (not playing enough spvp to really remember the name of the map though)

Exstacy Lane.9672:

The point of being a higher level character trolling a low level area is illusive at best. Why spend time in low level areas at all? Other than to map them or complete areas just to go rampaging through to one shot stuff is absurd but if it is fun for some then what the heck they should be able to do it? People of all ages and abilities/disabilities play this game all of us don’t have the best comp or internet connection so why penalize them for what is beyond their control?

so instead you want to penalize the ppl in that area that is actually at level? since with lvl 80’s going around they never get a chance to get even a single hit in on any heart events and would likely have trouble finding stuff for the hearts since it all be dead most of the time

Jezath.7395:

usually yes the sigil in the offhand would be a critical chance for that weapon attack from that hand if you get me. There are exceptions though.

where the hell does ppl get this from, as stated it says clearly how wrong it is on wiki and you can go to heart of the mist put a earth sigil on your offhand there, and try hit the traing golems some times with 1 2 or 3 (not 3 if your thief though as that uses both hands) and you will see it appling bleed

RoyalPredator.9163:

It is true, some race has much better racial skills…
Humans are the worst I guess. The most common race.
It needs to be balanced equaly, or we need an opportunity to learn other race skills.

Norn forms as human FTW Saw it hacked on PvE.

ehmm norn forms are the worse racials in the whole game, as for the norn forms as humans could be in blazeridge steps (i think it is) there is a heart that gives the norn raven form, just with a smaller model as part of the objective to do there

renss.5764:

GADefence.5634:

Story and quite a few race specific things : ex – starting pet, would probably be warped. My better question is how did you screw up what RACE you wanted?

quite easy, discovering ur race is too big to play pvp with for example.

ehmm size do not have any gameplay altereing matter in pvp, beside spvp can be done from lvl 1 no problem, and wvw at least is very doable from 30+ but technically can be done at 2 as well (need to complete the tutorial first)

I aggree crafting gives WAY too much xp, and you dont learn how to actually play your character if your c raft your way to 80 (meaning we ge a bunch of lvl 80’s that dont even know how to play his character properly), i say each craft should give MAX 1 lvl for 0-400 if any xp at all

as others have pointed out if you looking for a class that can 100% take all aggro and soak up the damage by just standing there in front, you are looking at the wrong game, if however you are looking for a survivable class, well all classes CAN do that, though guardian and warrior being the easiest to do it on, with guardian being far in top of those 2 too, the warrior is however easier to reach a higher dps on than guardian on the other hand

marnick.4305:

Death isn’t even a mechanic for Necromancers in this game. While the profession is really cool, it’s more like a WoW Warlock than a GW1 Necromancer.

ehmm necroes get life force for enemies (might be friends too but not sure on that) around him that die, so i would say death is in his mechanic yes

When the OP post of a topic gets deleted (happens a lot when a qeustioned is answered for some reason), it makes the thread seem to start at a weird point, rendering it often a total useless topic.
So i would suggest you cant delete the opening post of a thread, without deleting the whole thread as well (which btw not anyone that made the thread should be able to jsut do, but instead maybe a button to “flag for deletion”, so the mods and devs get notified the OP want the thread to be deleted, and then it up to the mods to judge if it is fair to delete it.
Maybe the abbitly to delete a thread without say 3 hours or so after you created it without having to ask mods, could be fair in case you accidnetly double create due to lag or something)

Falunel.7645:

OPs, please don’t delete your posts after we answer your questions… it makes your answerers look weird.

this, and maybe in the future someone might ahve the same qeustion and they could just search and thus dont ahve to ask again, but by delting the OP post it likely wont even show up in a search for it

Mogturmen.2638:

Some pretty good conversation going on around this! I think there are a lot of good ideas. Is there any other input someone might be able to offer to provide some additional insight for the dev team? I like the idea FD dropping the player down the aggro list, but as another comment pointed out AoE should still hit the FD’d player.

Thanks a bunch everyone for all your feed back on this idea, any thing else?

-Mog

aggreed, and well it shouldnt be hard to do, in fact something like taht is already in the game, and it is called “Stealth” where this would jsut be with a specific animation instead of the character going invisble, so should be very easy to implement, but yeah ranger, mesmer or thief would likely be the best candidates for it

i would love a stack increase too, to like increase it to just do another bytenumber if needed (although that may be a bit too much i geuss? that would afterall give us 32k approx xD, so maybe 1-2 bits for each expansion (and probably cost a little more than a normal bankslot, though not too much since it would add more space really, but that space be a little less flexible)

totally removing a limit would never be a feasible idea, at some point if you did taht the system would bug out and write some absurd errorlike code that would make no sense to 90% of the ppl in the game, and might even make us actually loose all we had there :P)

Olba.5376:

So which is this?

• A strictly no-WvW PvE player wanting Laurels
• A WvW player wanting more Laurels

im nither of those, im mainly a PvE player, but i like to do some WvW as well so dont really mind the wvw objectives in the daily/monthlies, and gladly do them and usually do more wvw than that too, (so if this should make it through i would be one of those actually getting more laurels)

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

GummiBear.2756:

they already do changes slowly and over periods, this suggestion just seem to be a waste of time (and this money) for ANet if you ask me, but ofc in the end it is up to ANet to decide that

Don’t really understand the "what do you will not change the current situation one bit? "

and too true, i certainly pity game developers these days, if they done one things ppl will mass QQ, if they do the opposite, sometimes even the same, and if not other ppl will mass QQ instead

ah sorry i meant to ask:
what do you meant by “wont change the current situation one bit”

aye, about player complaints vs developers, i would say,
“it is impossible to satisfy everyone”

so the developers themselves must decide whats best for everyone.

“waste of time (and this money) for ANet”
hmmmm i dunno.
i dun think this would be too hard or time consuming to implement anyway haha.

it wont change the situation that ppl qq now about not being able to do the dailyies, and ppl would still QQ about it with this change

next part yeah nothing is more true than that

and while yes it should be fairly easy to change, you need to test it afterwards to make sure there is no unitended bugs/glitches etc in it, so would likely take a week or so i geuss (without really knowing), which yes in term of developing games of this size is very low, but is never the less time spent that could be used on fixing bugs or adding stuff that actually makes a difference. And for companies time IS money
