Guild Wars 2

Mad Memories states it is unique in its tooltip, though not like it possible to equip two of them anyway :V

Olba.5376:

I disagree. I think the numbers are great. How the hell would I refer to a trait on a forum or in a text-based messenger if all they had was a pretty picture, a name and a colour? Right now, I can just say “Tactics IX”, but your system would make it so that I would need to say “Quick Breathing”. Of course, in most cases I already do that.

“QB” maybe?

Nox Aeterna.2965:

The problem is , now there is content calling players for stats. Skins cant compete.

Yep that is the root of the problem i believe too, and i dont think that would ahve to had to be the casue to get ppl to play the fractals. I actualy like the fractals once in a while but i dont want to grind them non-stop jsut to get that stupid ascended gear. If you ask me in the first place they should juse have had ascended have the same amount of stats as a exotic+its jewel and then be the only armor with infusion slots making it only needed in fractals, yet still usefull, but not needed in anything else (though that is probably too late to change now, without cause too much outrage from ppl that alread have it)

Urthona.3198:

And on an unrealted note, I kind of hope they don’t add remote trait reset. Otherwise, it may get to a point where you feel pressured to reset between individual bosses, which is even more of a pain in the long run (and also very expensive.) It’s not like there aren’t vendors in every major city, usually in an extremely accessible place, and in WvW. You’d have to actively try to avoid them.

well i would LOVE to run a different build for open world vs dungeons vs wvwvw, however in dont bother since i dont want to HAVE to travel to LA just to reset traits first

Not done taht event yet, so dont really know about the issue, however i like to point out that NCSoft is ONLY the publisher, where as it is ArenaNet, that is making the actual game

Not a bug, in fact most classes should swap weapons often in combat, whihc would make stack sigils useless if that would make the stacks disappear

yeah, if they let gems expire, that would be case for a lawsuit really i think, since we spend real life money on it

Cryshal.4036:

Now I get it. Vengeance is my rally skill. Dang. I need to think of a way to avoid that.

really, dont use it untill the very last moment before you will get defeated anyway from downed, or if you ahve the sweet revenge trait (20pt in discipline) whihc will revive you for real, if you kill something while under the effect of vengeance

Lord Aargadon.4135:

I can’t give you sources, but I’ve heard guildies rumor about ascended gear going to come from dungeons explorable mode chest and just better and more unique drops from them.

Rumors are generally 0% reliable really, hell at this point in time i imagine most ppl barely trust things the dev’s says directly, and simply want to see before they trust/believe it.

And not all people are in big guilds with tons of lvl 80’s they can just ask and get a run with whenever they want

Good suggestion, can fully support. The border color or other way to identfy waht tier a trait is avaliable in, is the least important i say and shouldnt matter too much if not, though still nice if it can get in

Grizledorf.5290:

Maybe you should transfer servers. JQ server has people running all sorts of dungeons all the time. Also try gw2lfg.com

hmm okay didn’t know about that site, but tbh that site kinda enforces OP’s point imo, if you look there about 95% of them are FOTM groups…

scepter dagger in fire is just LOLdmg, try ring of fire followed by phoenix and/or dragons tooth and well you should have taken a HUGE chunk of any enemy in its range already if not dead already.

While and nice thought and all really is not needed, Both when i played my first beta weekend, and my first character made at launch, really… those cost were NEVER a problem

Marduh.4603:

If this bug, power builds lose a lot of DPS, compared to the condition builds.

… do NOT get me started on condition stack caps…

did you ACTUALLY test it, or just look at the tooltips, and assume those accurently reflect it?, casue it works fine on my thief with 2 afflicted, DB still says 11sec but the actually bleeding last 12 sec (15 on 11 sec is 12.65 but it only shows whole seconds thus 12sec)

sweep your keeps/tower etc after you take it or a wall or gate been breached and kill any mesmer you see

also a mesmer have to place the 2nd portal within 60second of placing the first, and within a certain distance, so if they want to get past both walls in a keep they likely have to have the entrance hug the outer walls outside for them to work. SO if they placed one and you can keep them occupied for 60 seconds the portal goes down

i seen some weird keybinds but that one beats all… personally i use WASD, with wep skill still on 1-5, then utility is on QER, and my heal and elite is 2 buttons on the side of my mouse (logitech g500), and auto-run is on my middle mouse button

the guardian’s shield #5 (forgot skill name) have the same thing with being 2 times on the hero tree

hmm never had it happen, but yeah does sound like a bug. A temporary workaround is to have everyone suicide at which point you all get the option to “retry from waypoint”(like you do in story missions), and just take off all your armor if you want to prevent the repair cost

Does Superior sigil of rage stack with the thief trait Critical haste, and if yes, how does they stack?

ovan.5947:

OK……

guys, do you realize what you’re saying?

Let me tell you sons.

Anyone who ever went in a shop know that when you see : 1 = 1$ 4= 3$ and 8=4$ mean you’ve had 25% first (buy 4) and 50% (buy 8 ) reduction. In real life, in a real shop where you see real people, that’s the way it worked.
That’s the way it works. Now, that’s your way : you make 50% decrease on 8 and since 4 cost 3 than 8 cost 6 but with a 50% it’s 3 in fact. kitten that sounds quite…ridiculous no?

Now, let’s see jabberwock’s math, which are correct btw.

1 stone cost 40 gems, that’s its base price.
Now, you can buy 25 for 480 gems right? which means a 52% price decreases for each gem, that’s definitely right.
Now then tell me why you’re arguing on the fact that they said 40% (obviously making a mistake) but doing in fact 52% ?

I guess we should ask them to be honnest, they said 40%, then they should do 40% and so, since that’s the way it always work, do this 40% on the base price.

So please Anet, i want to pay 25 gems 600 gems. That way, it will really be a 40%

You’re math are good, you’re conclusion is terrible, you’re market sens is tremendously horrible, but hey, 40% is 40%

Don’t dare telling me “they should use the logic they use on the stone but on the key” cause that’s irrelevant and even your mother would laugh at you saying such nonsense.

the difference on what you describe and current key situation is that those are usually temporary discount, where as the 5keys for 450 is a permanent thing, and thus cant really be called a “discount” in the first place, and thus at any time any individual would if he wanted 25 keys be able to buy them for 2250, or 90 gems per key, thus not making the 25 key deal 50% off

@arabeth: that is something they cant and should not account for however, since that is kinda the same as real life money currency exchange chance on a daily basis as well, and will affect the real price of any item bought with a foreign currency for you

All you gonna achieve by bumping it once a day is likely an infraction, just because a ANet dev dont post in your particular thread does NOT mean they havn’t seen it, but as you said yourself it is just a visual bug that does not affect gameplay, so not really a priority issue. They got a ton of more important bugs/issues to fix ATM, that actually affect the gameplay/the ability to play for some

4-8 new skills for each profession is roughly about as much as making a whole new professions (+/- a bit) so yeah it about as much work(maybe even a bit more) as making a whole new profession, which yes is a LOT of work

yeah as a Nox said, way too much work to add at this point in time, that said the suggestion itself is a pretty good start at least, if there ever were to be a secondary profession.

Sligh.2789:

Gaile Gray acknowledged that to the best of her knowledge, this bug will be fixed in the next, or one of the next few live updates. in a thread on the account issue board.

FINALLY AN ANSWER.

mind linking the exact thread? Cant really find a thread there on this issue

Also did your friends mail was not full (max 10 mails at a time (not including system mails like dungeon and story mails)), if that is the case he just need to delete a few mails and any mails he would have in queue will arrive right after

the bar itself tend to be stuck at times, though this is only grachically, you would still be gaming skill point, when you get enough XP

usually the bug corrects itself after some time, or you can try relog

Dont think the mf buff uttilty would be a good idea tbh, too many ppl would play skritt just for that skill ALONE i bet, the others ones are ncie idea though, would love to play a skritt myself too

dunno if it intended or not, but sure would be nice to ahve illusions getting affected by the +33% confusion duration trait at least

revives you with only 1 hp for a little while after no matter where you are, pretty sure it is working as intended, so you can use it out of combat after a wipe, without having to use a wp

WingsMage.5718:

Exactly my thoughts!

“We are currently looking into this issue as one of our higher bug priorities”

one of … ? I can’t think of anything else that should have higher priority than this bug. This bug has a MAJOR impact on the whole gameplay experience. It gives an unfair disadvantage to anyone not receiving the bonuses. It is HUGE and has lasted for way too long.

Maybe things that might prevent ppl from logging in or similar would be higher priority?

WingsMage.5718:

“We are working daily on improving the overall state and experience of WvW”

This one sentence really worries me. Do they even understand the consequences of this bug? Again, it does not only affect the state and experience of WvW, but those of the whole game.

Well the bonuses come FROM WvW, and thus is definitely RELATED to WvW

So I see nothing wrong there (and I am one of those that been affected by this since headstart too btw)

Zojja have same problem in the first story of asura too

that is not thief specific, i get that bug all the time with my mesmer too

for intensity they are just adding extra ticks of that players condition so the mob will take dmg more often, not sure how it works when the cap is reached at 25 stack though, nor do i really know about the duration stacking

crazyryoga.1876:

I’m totally against any LFG tool, everyone would be then in a major city jumping around waiting to insta-join something without any efford. I like the way it is now, if you want to do something you just can use the nearest dungeon WP and find someone. This is not hard at all.

… everyone is already standing around in LA spamming LFG, with a proper LFG toll you could actually be out in the world exploring etc while looking for a group

so yeah i fully support the OP, a fine way to do it

no, is WAY easy to lvl already as is, no need to make it easier

that PoI is underground, so you are simply at the wrong position. Myaby try do some research on PoI’s etc before you bug report them, cluttering up ANet report pile, with unneeded reports?

SamTheGuardian.2938:

The game is designed so every player can assume any role. Some are better than others, but you have no dedicated tank or healer. No one depends on what you provide. As a result there is not way to really measure those in party who aren’t pulling their weight.

After several hundred hours of play I realize this is the weak point of the game. It’s the fault line under the concrete. It’s the cracked foundation that makes the doors never close just right in a house. It’s broken design at it’s core.

When people say “GW2 is a lonely MMORPG” or “Gw2 is missing something in team play” this is what it is. You simply don’t bond with others players in combat like you do in other MMORPGs where you have dedicated roles.

If they don’t fix this I will leave the game over it. I predict the game will eventually die because of it as well.

tbh in other MMO’s it was only the tank and healer you could truly see if they were pulling their weight

you should have a insignia you can use it on (apothecary or something like that)

Igopewpew.8692:

Everyone that’s been buying a digital version of the game from ArenaNet’s site has been accused of having a fraudulent purchase. This means the account will be banned really soon after activating it.

This is NOT true, i bought the game digitally, and have never been accused of anything/had my account terminated…

a thing that is rarely a good idea for a logner period of time even for the most sturdy classes in gw2

well are some champions that fit your “rare” well enough, but YES they need to increase the reward somehow to make ppl actually kill them, ( a skin unique to that one would be nice (though should be a skin for each armortype or weapontype though imo, so you dont end up with like xx class not having any real reward they can use from it)

look like a graphic card issue to me, try update your drivers, and also having you system spec would help

that is “more” that just normal enemy behaviour, is the same as what happens when your character go out of combat and regen health a lot faster, this happens to NPC’s as well

well sheep if you want to talk about weird combinations, i would say the weirdest would be sylvari engineer… do i need to say more?

To the OP, that is kind of a very subjective question, that is based on opinion, kinda hard for us to tell you want YOU find fun

hold down to fire button to shoot, if just just press and release the fire button right away it will tell you that you cant fire in that direction

Yeah ever since i encountered the first skritt in the game i so badly wanted to play as one

SHINIE

Danikat.8537:

If the OP is anything like me it’s not something you can just choose to forget about.

It’s not like I scour chat channels for people saying ‘toon’ and then rant to myself about it. It’s just a passing, minor irritation, but one that can build up over time to a bigger thing almost without me being aware of it. Like people saying “for all intensive purposes”, or someone whisting out of tune. The first time you might not even think about it. The next few times you might just shrug it off, but eventually when it keeps on happening you want to say something.

well good luck, you just set out on an impossible journey, if you think you can get the entire GW2 (and any other MMO’s you may play in the future) to not ever refer to their characters, as “toons”
So yeah the only thing you cant really do it just live with it, ppl ain’t gonna change it just because you don’t like that particular word

Yeah i have it only on my mesmer as well, but like to play other characters as well, so accountbound MM would be really nice

big? Nope
Bulky? Nope
Loud? well okay somewhat, but still imo not quite as much
