Guild Wars 2

those can come in ahndy at times in JP’s or runing south in WvW in your own borderlands for a shortcut down the cliffs to the garrison or evne more souther towers or something like that

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

How annoying would it be if the player who created the guild switched servers and took the guild’s upgrades (incl. the bank) and influence with them?

I dont think most ppl want the abbilty to MOVE inf and guild bank etc to a new server, but rather that the inf and guild bank and upgrades etc to be SHARED between the servers

you cant remove those qeust trackers totally, though you can collapse them so you only see the ehader of each by simply clicking the header itself (and repeat to expand them again)

The orange star one is not normally there most times but is used for event stuff when it is there, so i assume it is either an event coming very soon or simply a bug that is shows up

yeah the problem is with the kicking system, NOT with the outsiders able to join, since someone could have to leave or DC for good right before say the jade maw or something and rest of the group might not be able to finish at all

well this patch was advertised as a “base” to build upon with the next 2 monthes of patches so might jsudt not be out there in other ways yet, but come in the next patches

tbh as long as you use the right weapons and utitlities, im pretty sure any class (yes even engi, thoguh they may be one of the harder one to do it with but should be possible i think) with little to no ground targeted aoe’s

Clouded Judgement.7834:

Actually you can easily have bought one of these today since there are possible of 3 laurels

well he posted 16 hours ago as of 12:00 CET, whihc would be around 20:00 CET WAY before the daily reset :P so only 2 would have been possible at that time

Gorgazm.7805:

I decided to randomly start playing again yesterday, and downloading the patch, I reached about 400mb, and only then it reached 1%.

Now, i cannot imagine it was 400GB in size, it was done in about 90 minutes. very strange calculations on that downloader there.

what FlamingFoxx siad, but also i notice you said you randomly start playing again, which i kinda read as you ahvent played in a while, if so it is likely that you will ahve to download more than jsut yday’s patch, and while most other patches not been particular big each, it can add up quickly

welcome to the world of exotic rabid jewelry :P

but yeah if this is true havent really checked, that kinda do sux, thinking of lvling up my engi with cleric gear, but if i cant get ascended for him at 80 that would be really sad

GummiBear.2756:

While yes it wouldn’t affect directly most people, it would also be a waste of developing resources that be better spent on other things, so in that way it would in fact at least indirectly affect everyone as actual usefull new content/bugfixes etc would be get less reousrces and thus take longer to do.

So yeah unneeded addition that 90%+ of the playerbase would not even be afected of (and no dont give me taht bullkitten about it taking little developer time you already tried one in this very thread, cause that is simply NOT true, ANY new feature would take quite a bit of resources first in getting the actually basis thought out, and then coded and implememented into the game, and then tweaked some more for a proper balance, and last but not least bugfixed in the end (and even then there likely some steps i dont even know about))

I’ll use the same argument. Even thou you said not too. Because you know it is true. Denying it wont help your point to be made.

Yet I do agree it’ll obviously take some place on the dev team. They do have a bigass team working on GW, and there is a team for that, this topic is called “World Polish”.

geuss i was right… seems you are unable to receive constuctive critism… pretty much anyone who disagree with you you call the same argument, leading to a stagnant thread even thoguh in total there been 2 ppl that aggreed with you and 10+ that disagree… shouldnt that alone say something? what about you try to actually come with some convincing argument for once?

While yes it wouldn’t affect directly most people, it would also be a waste of developing resources that be better spent on other things, so in that way it would in fact at least indirectly affect everyone as actual usefull new content/bugfixes etc would be get less reousrces and thus take longer to do.

elixir U is kinda a far stretch imo, yes the game says it grant a random utility skill, but what it does indeed give is a random secondary effect to its quickness from the other 3 professions with self quickness

what does gale (a knockdown attack) have to do with feedback (a reflect bubble)?

Also i kinda prefer it how it is most times, since it allows it to be placed accurately around a mob faster than with ground targeting (even ½ second can be HUGE in this game even in pve sometimes, let alone pvp/wvw). also i seriously doubt it can reflect or even absorb treb shots though i never really tried, but ballistas, cannons and catapults aint stopped by feedback (hell nto even sure arrow carts is though im not 100% on that one), so what makes you think treb shots are?

occurs to me you ahve no idea how complex you can make a bot, would not be a problem to make a bot farm and area got x minutes (x being just below eht amount of time needed to hit DR) then have the pot use a waypoint to another area and then do it again there, wp to new area farm there etc etc, would take a little work on the bot developers to get figure out the most efficient time needed and how many places they need to visit before it can restart from beginning, but in a few weeks they do it, and be not affected at all, so would be a LOT of coding for a rather temporary gain

StinVec.3621:

I agree that emotes should state the name if you have someone targeted.
Like without a target /wave = MyCharacter waves. With a target /wave = MyCharacter waves at MyCurrentTarget.

type “/wave @” (without the "" and it does just that)

rhodoc.2381:

Another suggestion is dont let the ground target go out of range. So it always stays green and you can simply target max range. This is great for mobility skills.

should still go red imo(so you know it is out of range, if not you could end up with some horribly misplaced damage AOE’s), but just not block you from actually activating it and making it then activate at max range

would be nice, and while at it, show it in friendlist as well

Amos.8760:

Again: Why the KITTENING KITTEN is vital information being relayed on third party sites and not on the KITTEN official page?

Maybe they couldnt log into their own forums either? :P until JUST now i couldn’t login to neither the forums nor the game

food have a apple icon in its tooltip, where utility have a wrench

why not have it so the guild armor is actually able to add a guild logo on ANY armor in the game? why do you have to be forced into a specific look (and currently a very boring look at that) if you want your logo shown. I was like really excited when we finally managed to get a armor contract for our guild… after we got it… i felt it was a waste of inf…

while yes it is true vulnerability does not affect condition damage, vulnerability however does NOT decrease armor (haven’t done since beta), but just increase the direct damage on the target by 1% per stack

Tom Gore.4035:

Nah you’re mistaken. The warrior on tha page is using a big one handed axe and just likes the challenge of leaving the other hand empty.

more likely a hammer skin i say tbh

@gimme: the difference is that engineer can actually choose to use supply crate underwater even too, one of the better engineer elites, where as a thief you can ONLY use basilisk venom, the worst of them… why cant we at least use summon thieves guild underwater, that makes no sense to me

While SM can be story mode, i actually see it way more often used as “stonemist castle” the big fort in the middle of EB (eternal battlegrounds)

well you can quite easily build a tanky elementalist that can absorb more damage, than a glass cannon warrior, so no doesn’t really make much sense

Another thing to consider on toughness vs vitality, is that out clones and phantasm uses our toughness but does NOT gain anything from our vitality (source: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Illusion)

If you don’t use or care for Sharper Images (i.e. not taking Deceptive Evasion), then Carrion is better. Otherwise Carrion deals more overall damage.

I actually have sharper images, but not deceptive evasion (who says you cant stop a traitline at minor traits?) still i by far prefer rabid

Krosslite.1950:

Just for the record glad you are revamping the dynamic leveling. I hope that means you are making it harder then easier.

I sure hope so too… if they begin to make it easier… well then they might as well already have removed it :P (but that obviously does NOT mean i want it removed)

Strikerjolt.5910:

I would view this a problem, and shouldn’t take more than 1 dev to make this happen.

You REALLY believe that? no part of any coding should ever be done by a single person only, if you do coding by a single person the chance of an error somewhere that can screw up a lot of stuff (specially in a game as big as this) would be HUGE

Actually for fractals you can get upleveled too if you run it without being lvl 80 as well

Well GW1 didn’t have a “Deposit collectible” option either to send all your crafting mats and some other stuff directly to you bank from ANYWHERE either

Bailey.6892:

The best way to prevent this is for areana net to under cut them. Make it so that you can buy items and gold from the company for so cheap that the gold sellers cant afford to compete.

As eliteZ said, it would not be the gold sellers that wouldn’t be able to compete, it would be AreneNet in the long run that wouldn’t be able to compete, simply because ArenaNet have FAR greater expenses than the gold sellers have

just tested it now in heart of the mists, and warrior’s sprint definitely does NOT increase you movement speed when you already have swiftness on (while yes it does increase you movement speed while using a banner and not having swiftness) test with both axe/axe and while carrying a banner

@Ragion in the example with 30%, im taking 30% of the original 30 (ie 9 and adds that to the proc chance). yes the way i wrote the calculation was a bit of a shortcut, in fact the full formula would be: 30+(30*30/100)=39% (the numbers in the parentheses being the actual percentage calculation, and the 30 outside being to add it to the original 30%, the parentheses in the calculation is strictly speaking not needed actually, but helps making it a bit easier to understand i think)

@Solandri: the math you are coming up with there makes no sense to me how you gotten to that exact calculation

Yeah i always even on my first ever character got more XP than was needed, lacking behind in lvl’s more and mroe the longer i got, ending up that both my chracters by the time they hit lvl 80 had as the highest lvl area they been in being bloodtide coast (directly South of LA)

i never expected a class with no offensive warhorn abilities to be able to get it

@mercury: that is wrong, you can proc offhand sigils with mainhand and mainhand sigil with offhand just fine.

using 2 similar sigils will only be able to stack the % chance however in your case blood procs 30% of the times you crit, so adding a second blood would give you a 30*1.30 = 39% chance to proc.

stacking sigils would however add 2 stacks per kill instead of 1 if you use 2 of them.

sigils with cd will always share the cd so if one have a 1sec cd and the other have a 5sec cd, and the one with 5sec cd proc then BOTH of them will go on a 5second cd for example

Pixelninja.6971:

With the Warrior-trait “Warrior’s Sprint” (Run 10% faster while wielding melee weapons)
you can definitly run faster then 33%.

don’t have a warrior but it shouldn’t, only your highest speed boost should count

Zen.9135:

While your class/build/gear combo may one shot mobs when downscaled, not every class/build/gear will. I think it’s very hard to balance downscaling across all classes, using all builds, and using all gear from white to exotic. I’d far rather have this system that maybe leans toward too gernerous on the downscale, than either too difficult when downscaled or no downscaling.

still something is really wrong in the lowest content at least my CONDITION build mesmer, with only base lvl 80 power, 2-3 shot mobs down there…

2. you ARE getting stronger as you level up, just not enough to faceroll lower content.

3. Exactly what i mean we could use more different skins, but not better stats please, adding ascended imo (and in the opinion of a lot of ppl really, if you read forums and talk with ppl ingame) was already a stretch

4. You can go gank ppl at supply camps or between tower/keeps in WvW, AND while doing so you actually help your server get more points and thus better wvw bonuses so is a win – win cant see what more you would want

Ouroboros.5076:

Ofc the Disenchanter is unreliable, but when fighting the dredge champ in the dredge fractal it’s great as dredges basically rely on stacking boons to be effective.

Does disenchanter stay up long enough though to be any better than a good ol null field though?

@jportell: Hmm intresting idea never though of trying to combine feedback with mimic there, only ever used feedback

1. agreed, preferably i would say 1 guild per account really

2. if anything scaling need to be MORE strict, if i got as condition buidl mesmer to the starter area’s i still 2-3 shot mobs even with no power from gear, only the base lvl 80 power… so yeah cant aggree here

3. this game was advertised from start to have horizontal progression ie different looks so that is what should be expanded on not some stupid vertical progression kitten

4. five words: World versus World versus World (also just know as WvWvW)

The problem is no matter how many ppl speak a certain language, the cost to localize a game is about the same (keep in mind localizing a game is not just a strict translation, first of all both text and audio would need a translation, whihc mean you would ahve to hire voice actors for it, but alos you need to be sure that the way things are said and written wouldn’t offend ppl talking that language for instance, and likewise what stuff like jokes and such can never be directly translated either you may have to do a completely different wording to get the same fun effect)

That said IF more localization where to take place Brazilian yes is talked by enough that it could be a candidate, but i leave that to ANet to decide if its worth it

Imo the legendary looks are just over the top flashy, i prefer something a bit more plain or clean so to say, so nope never gonna make a legendary likely

Yes it takes a lot of time to learn a new language, but to localize a game the size of GW2 ALSO takes a LOT of time and a LOT of money

no, imo claiming towers/keeps should be an effort to help you server, and not for some silly selfish reasons

likely connected to fractals, for a group to join fractals they have to be in the same of LA, and if they come from multiple servers (which is the case 90% of the times, as most use gw2lfg.com for finding groups for it), they cant join up in a real servers LA, and thus is forced to be in an overflow

what thief speed boost are you talking about?

But yes you only get the highest speed bonus’ effect, meaning usually swiftness with 33%, though apparently you should be able to increase the swiftness move speed with 7% by using a full set of rune of speed, never tried it myself though, so dont know if it is working or not

This is actually a good point, would achieve the exact same result, but the physiologic result of it would be the exact opposite

O_o both your guys PC’s are better than mine, i got same CPU (i5-2500) as you 2 and a AMD 6950, and 8GB RAM

And i get at least 50 FPS all time with only 1 or 2 options at next highest (not at home so cant check exact which ones though ATM) rest at max, and well get a bit over 100 FPS sometimes even when nothing too much is going on

knight gear are power/toughness/vitality,

Knight kit is power/precision/toughness and can be crafted or bought off the TP

Power/toughness/vitality cannot be crafted and is obtained through the temple karma vendors, or using tokens from certain dungeons or with wvw tokens.

ahh sorry, got it mixed with soldiers, i geuss
