Guild Wars 2

as for the inspecting other peoples gear where are you wanting to use this feature if its implemented?

…at the start of dungeons(you are just wanting to be the elitist)

…after you are laying on your back in WvW and wondering how you got beat(this would also apply to dueling if implemented- If you know what stats he has before the fight you might be able to calculate what skills and build he may have chosen based on what weapon he has in his hand)

…did it look flashy and you said I wonder what stats it has on them(if you plan on getting you the same gear, how do you not know that he just used a transmutation stone on them, the game allows for some nice customization)

I think for me its like this…if I am walking down a busy street and someone just comes up to me and starts measuring my clothes. I would might think they are crazy and not to be trusted. Especially since he can look in the stores and see those clothes, no need to reach into my underwear and turn out the label to read it.

If you want to know about the cosmetics of a certain armor may I suggest the wiki…
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Armor
Or you could look inside the PVP locker inside the mists area to find the names of certain armor.
Or just ask nicely with a subtle compliment. In my experience anyone who has ever asked me the stats on my gear, where not asking me they where telling me that I had to show them, which makes me say kitten off.

“You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar!”

I think I like it the way it is now, so No to Inspecting.
You can have dueling though, it will not affect me as long as I can have a feature to turn off all requests for a duel, then I don’t have to be bothered with them, unless I want to.

They should change the name of those to kitten hat meters, cause when I did play wow the only time the thing was used, was to tell other people what someone else thought they was doing wrong ,which is the elitist way.

In wow that might have been ok, cause there where maybe only 2 or 3 talent trees you could choose from to maximize the damage output and really you could focus hardly into these talents knowing that a healer was there to wash your little hiney. But here its not like that, the talents are really open for the individual to play with to get something they like and will be useful in your survival, instead of what the few deem as the cookie cutter.

There are pvp area’s which are designed for competitiveness, you should go there to get that competitive feeling. Of course you might want to take my advice and key into some talents to keep ya butt alive. Because you will see rather quickly that, its not about doing the most damage, its about being able to take the most damage and live to tell the tale. Which I find is more useful in Pve area’s like dungeons as well.

no one got any ideas what would be a good reward for doing all paths on a dungeon idea…?

If the God’s name is Midgar….the final boss is Shinra or any other reference to what this whole Great Collapse really reminds me of then I can be ok with it. lol

One thing I can praise in GW2 is the Dynamic level adjustment system. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dynamic_level_adjustment

Now take something similar to this and add it to the Dungeons. No I don’t mean make it so everyone comes into the dungeon as a level 80.

What would be nice is if 2 or 3 people are wanting to group, they can, and the dungeon will level down to meet the size of the party.This way if no one is hardly on you can still do guild runs.

Also have you had a time in your guild, where you ask does anyone want to go do a dungeon and 6 people all want to go with you, making you have to put 2 people out. With a dynamic level adjusting dungeon, you could group 7 people together and the dungeon would level up to meet your challenge.

I guess there should be a max on the most you can have the dungeon level be. So maybe a max party size of 10 should be ok…don’t forget you could group up anywhere from 2 to 10 players. So if you end up with more than the limit, say 12 you could split into 2 groups of 6.

Which brings me to another suggestion; Having 2,3 and 4 guild groups in the same dungeon going though the same instance, but doing different paths that could culminate into one final boss fight with a challenge and reward worth a guilds participation. Maybe this could only be done once per week and have the final boss drop a chest with rewards that will give the “Guild” something. Individual rewards would still come from the regular chests with reward tokens and normal loots. This could possibly be an answer for some of the people who think this game needs raids.

Now for what that Guild reward is , let me know what you think it should be.

Asum.4960:

Claiming gamepads would be superior to Keyboard and Mouse is the funniest thing ive ever read tho.

Who said that? I don’t think that meant that it would be superior…more that it would be their preferred method. Which means the same for you, your method will be the superior way for you to play.

Although I don’t think they will add support either, since adding support on the PC game market level means more than tell windows I said its ok… they have to add code for each gamepad that is popular, which is a fair bit more than consoles.

But if they did add it in, native support will always make your gaming experience excel, if you prefer that method. Third party stuff may be ok, its just not as crisp feeling as I think it could be.

One thing that I can note, with a controller. I can do jump puzzles and it seems to me that it feels more like they where made to be played this way, but when I do some pvp I really quickly resort back to the keyboard.

In the long run I would say yeah native support would make the use of a game controller even more fun to play if you could say run and turn while using an analog stick, I might just abandon the idea of getting a new keyboard cause I have worn out the W button.

ok suggestion#1 I think is already in game….not on the mini map but on the main map “M” button where you see the title of the territory that you want to know about your map completion. If you mouse over the gold words for that area, I am pretty sure it shows what you have done on that toon.

domxnik.1453:

Why is this in the suggestions?

I sorry I was sleepy when I posted and forgot half of what I meant to say…
I thought I was in a different forum as well…

I got a pm from a bot of on the forums trying to sell me gold.

They don’t need to fix it so it will give refunds… what they need to do is turn off the stuff you can not wear to begin with…

thus! no further recursions, of this dreadful oversight.

Also I am sorry you miss clicked or you did not pay attention, its not something they are gonna fix… but since you leaving can have your stuffs.

they had this in another Ncsoft game called Dungeon Runners….

The Bling Gnome

Ok I got this done tonight but only cause we had at least 3 groups running together and the guys camping the top actually jumped down to rez a guy from their party and two of our groups dropped down on them from the tunnel …rez everyone and off we went.

You know what was fun for me… not beating those guys down ….but helping others get up to the top using my mez portal…

Still would have paid tons of badges to just avoid doing that with anyone in the instance with me at all.

Here is a thought…(theoretic opinion ahead proceed with caution)

If they introduced two mounts in the gem store and the one which was only cosmetic but had a beautiful flaming mane or something like that, and lets say they charged 600gems for it.
And the other mount was a plain old Moa bird but it gave 33% run speed but it cost 1200gems.

The end result is that the Moa would sell 10 to 1 and the collectors would buy both, thus the 1 in that equation.
And I’d venture to say that a good portion of the G.W.O.M(gamers who oppose mounts) would still end up getting one.

Xavori.3768:

You get blueprints out of that chest. Blueprints help you and hurt your enemy. Hence, it’s a valid tactic to deny you that chest.

You should actually be organizing attacks and defenses of the jumping puzzles. They’re a very valuable resource to anyone that can get through. This is especially true in EB as you can get high level blueprints out of that one with a bit of luck.

Ok I have a solution to that, If i can use badges to buy a non PvP instance, then I will not get PvP rewards from the chest.

I am not being ganked at the beginning….what is happening is, one group is set up on top of the dome with about 5 or 6 arrow carts and when you come into the room inside the dome, stealth or not, you can not do the jumps cause you will always be in combat…we organized a fight and cleared the bottom of the dome of the veteran’s and fought off the ones who where on the floor but could not get high enough in the dome to take out the arrows.

What did we do wrong?

I can only imagine that children would spend that much time camping a spot just to hold a non PvP area.
I think alternately that if a individual should be able to turn in badges or something to let them get their own instance of the JP in WvW…

I am not a person who thinks PvP is fun, but could concede to doing it enough to gain a set amount of badges, if I could just do the JP’s without having to PvP in them.

Noja.4571:

NinjaEd.3946:

HOLY KITTEN! USE THE SEARCH BAR

I’m sorry

I probably should have done that.

thank you for not beating me with harsh words…Just started and wanted to voice my opinion…

LOL, he did use harsh words though….Kitten is rough!

Electro.4173:

If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say they probably excluded the scream because it would be very easy to annoy people with it.

LOL, and they have not already got tons of things in the game to do that. One right now that is making me not want to play the game, after many failures, is having PvP type things linked to PvE type achievements

Yeah make a forum on the forums dedicated to jump puzzles..

“ohh put her in sleep mode, I need to recalibrate her protocols”

This makes sense now! This proves that Tixx intended to undo the said accusation, by eliminating the plaintiff.

Kaimick.5109:

Auto port to dungeons I disagree with, then we will have people sitting in major cities doing nothing at all just waiting for dungeon ques. no to auto port yes to lfg which is already being implemented

I can point to another scenario….
Or people can Actually go out and play the game, while they wait for their dungeon to pop…..

Why does everyone assume that everyone will stop doing other things in the game?

Also since there is no holy trinity, setting in town waiting for a dungeon to pop is probably not gonna be a problem. If the general consensuses is that any party consisting of any combination of professions is feasible. Then forming a party will happen in seconds….therefore people will end up preforming all other actives like dailies and what not before or after they done the dungeon run. There will not be time to run about doing things, because the que should happen instantaneously. Porting to a dungeon should only happen if the person has already done the story mode version.

And really why do you care how another person spends his Nickel. You really can’t justify about how anyone should spend there time playing in the game.
I might get on today and only have a short time to play and my choice for today is to form a group and go and there is that short pause while I stand in LA. I bought the game with my cash so I will determine how the time I do allow myself will be spent as well.
I don’t see how it affects the majority either way.

Hermes.7014:

I hope you guys aren’t complaining for getting more stuff. lol.

no they are just afraid of the another shot of mysterious and execrable official justice!

One thing you do not need buy a book to re-spec…If you do, you are are doing it wrong. The Trainer has the second option to do your re-spec’s. Don’t look at the manuals if you have already learned them.

Also, lets add to this: That it keeps them recorded the way you have them entered the traits in them. So that a field re-spec will be as fast as possible.

I do not like the idea of buying another book to hold for each spec I want to use.
Stop coming up with ways for more of the little space I have to be used by stuff that I will have to have.

I want the system they had in GW1 just make it a bit more expensive for how many each re-spec’s you want to keep handy.

ithaqua.5684:

What in your head makes you think of this? I like it a lot especially the part about it’ll steal your soul. Are you planning on making more?

Yes! Well I worked out the parody of the Original title of the puzzle to match the song.
So without further ado, I present “Jumping in a Winter Wonderland”. Sung to the original, Walking in a Winter Wonderland.

Snow-flakes melt, there’s no missin
Jumps are true, what ya wishing.
A slippery flight
Across the snow globe tonight
Jumping in a winter wonderland

Go away other players
Here in my way, multi layers
Blocking my scene
You know what I mean
Jumping in a winter wonderland

In the middle we can find presents
That explode when you come around

If you can jump fast
That’s the plan
But you can’t stand to long
Cause you’ll fall n hit the ground

Later on, we’ll tire
From missing jumps up higher
To face plant I’m afraid
Is the only reward I’ve made
Jumping in a winter wonderland

Also in the middle there’s a snow boulder
You can try to go around
If you don’t get on the peppermint
Your butt is gonna get knocked down

When you make it, ain’t it thrilling
By a hair into the box be spilling
We’ll jump and play, the Arenanet way
Jumping in a winter wonderland

yeah about an hour and a half

When someone clicks the “Create Topic” on the forums, it should, when they type in the “Topic title” have it so that it does a Auto Search of the topic and list the possible matching threads that could be added to, before they create a new topic on a old subject.

now I will admit, that I am not free from fault when I have posted something, but this should help contain the forums down a bit…as it is now someone posts and zoom its off the first page within a hour.

I hope everyone had a good Christmas.

you know what would be nice if all those present spawning all over the world, that when opened, the toys inside can literally have the “stuffing” knocked out of them!

I bet a lot more people would try to fight them then, cause as it is now I see people run open it grab the present and run away….

a more prudent fix would be to allow mass emails.
add a drop down menu to the ’To:" with options like: Guild , Party ,and Add another Recipient(or at least the ability to add a comma or semi colon to the field separating names, so you can send to more than one at a time)

Another point is that you can give everyone in your party cookies right now without a email….
all you need to do is craft the recipe for the Tray of Chocolate Cookies in the Mystic Forge, using these items : Elonian Wine, Arcane Crystals, Mystic Coins, Chocolate Chip Cookies….the exact amount for each will be told to you once you place one of each in the forge.

The only reason they set up the email system to not allow for mass emails now is Bots. Can you imagine how much easier it would be on Gold Sellers to spam the living Kitten outta everyone with emails about their websites.

So I don’t see them fixing your request, so your best option is to learn the “Tray’s”.

Nerf Bat says no…they are not gonna tell you when they nerf something that people are doing something broken and getting a reward fairly easy for doing said broken thing.

Back in GW1 my guild would always try to figure out what was broken that they fixed in the last patch that they did not tell you was coming….or tell you what they did.

I think its to not tell the people, who are not thinking of doing stuff that some of these bugs require to keep you from trying to test other areas of the game by giving you ideas.

Like for instance, the presearing area in GW1 players could Not go to their guild halls, they introduced a new button so people could watch PvP battles and somehow people found out that they could get to the guild halls this way.

A lot of of max level items made its way back to presearing though what became known as “The Guild Hall Glitch” most notable was salvage kits which where not available in pre at that time….I remember plenty of people that had them sold 1 single use off them for un-godly amounts of gold, dyes, and ecto’s.

Telling people that they fixed this glitch might as well be telling them how to look for more glitches, which if you abuse could net you a ban.

Nike.2631:

I think this is comedy.

How is this funny?

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

There are some of those in the game already.

• Modus Sceleris
• Skritt Burglar

I believe there are others besides these.

Its funny maybe ten minutes after I posted this I got the “Jackoloping Along” achievement. What it did not feel like, was something special. "Oh look a skritt is making away with the treasure! Kill it! Bam! It was over that quick.

I miss rare spawns. not just mobs to kill but, Nick the Traveler. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Nicholas_the_Traveler

plus would not mind having something like Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer or another fun type mob to go find and kill, that can spawn anywhere in the world.

You know that makes me want more unusual rare spawns…

If you are gonna sell your item directly to the person who has a buy order with the highest bid, instead of listing the item, you should not have to pay the tax just to be able to make the sell. It should automatically take the fees out and let you pick up the difference from the TP. As it is now if I have a highend item that could take me outta the red, I can not get the monies til I farm 6 dungeons just to make the tax to sell the item.

If on the other hand you are listing the item at your own set price , as you will be leaving it in there you should have to pay the listing fee at the moment of listing.

I think this is fair.

I just want to share this with as many people as possible. Please comment so more people do see it. Otherwise it just gets buried.

if the U bell was more easily obtainable then I could see a community around developing more into “sheet music” but more along the lines of playing music you already know and love. Not to mention they need more instruments. I hope that the next time they put in another instrument more people are able to acquire it without going broke in the gem store.

Seriously people have been asking and asking for musical instruments since the game came out ….why oh why does this have to be super rare drop rate, to get something that should have been more available to everyone. The more instruments they have the more you will see actual bands of players playing real music for everyone , which is a good thing.
I vote more music instruments in game that are unbreakable and less super rare ways to get them.

I put this up the other day and lot of peeps in this thread may have seen it already. I think it will break the monotony to the ones having trouble with the puzzle and a chuckle for the ones who have been though it a few times.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wintersday/Frosty-the-Snow-globe/first#post1007082

Leave me some love if ya like it. plz

I think its done to reflect you are not getting a Exotic outta the end chest, its made to be very repeatable as a means of farming presents…I also have to say that there are three paths starting on the snowflakes, so that breaks up the largest group that can participate in one instance, so you are not having the same issue that a lot of people complained about in the Clock Tower of not being able to see the path at all for other jumpers.

And to that I wish there was a Exotic that came from it, maybe a Candy Cane weapon skin that was not part of the presents or gem store.

Coin Flunk.3024:

=D Love it…))

Thanks

100 views no replies wow it really must suck.

I hope my rewording of this classic song, makes your Wintersday more cheerful and helps ease the falls you make doing the Winter Wonderland jumping puzzle. Sung to the original Frosty the Snowman.

I present,
Frosty the Snow Globe.

Frosty the Snow Globe was a jumpy happy goal,
With a melting snowflake and a snow boulder
And some presents that’ll explode.

Frosty the Snow Globe is fairly hard, they say,
It was made of snow but the children
Know how it steals your soul each play.

There must have been some magic in that
that last try I just made.
For when I made it to the box
I began to shout “hooray”.

O, Frosty the Snow Globe
Was a pain as it could be,
And the children say you could jump
And pray just the same as you and me.

Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
I just fell into Snow
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Look at that Jumper Go.

Frosty the Snow Globe knew
The sun was hot that day,
So its said, “Let’s run n jump
We’ll have some fun
Before the snowflakes melt away.”

Down to the Big box,
With a present in your hand,
Running here and there and
Jumping in the air saying,
Please land on this if I can.

You’re led down the snowflake path
Right to the Peppermint Drops.
And you can only pause a moment or
Your heart will have to"Stop!"

For Frosty the snow globe
You have to hurry on your way,
But when it goes goodbye,
“Don’t you cry,
It’ll be back again some day.”

Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
I just fell into Snow
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Look at that Jumper Go.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
The presents are gonna Explode!

Edit: scroll down to a later post to see “Jumping in a Winter Wonderland”

Its my understanding they are working on a new LFG tool of some kind, but no information about how it will work or what not so I wanna see what they come up with.

But if they did do something like the OP wants, please take it outta LA…I do not want to see the load screen double because now it is searching for a overflow it can send me to.
I would prefer a remote area that is its own instance that all servers can get into or at least you can see that persons LFG no matter what server they are playing on, so you can form groups with anyone who wants to play the dungeon, that is ready to go play, Now.
Spamming should go away but we should be able to talk to each other when forming a group even if you are looking at a bulletin board setup screen with the info about what you want to do.

I really don’t want them to add more and more stuff to LA just to make it convenient, all the while slowing anyone trying to get to LA down and also adding to the chat in LA about forming groups…

I don’t see you surviving the part where a Dragon “will swallow” you, because You Are Crunchy and Taste Good With Ketchup. Meaning that most reptiles will only swallow if you are dead or will rip off large chucks of flesh, which will also be dead, when the swallowing part happens.

Kaimick.5109:

Ebay buy a few cards at once when you start getting low on gems buy more

I would never trust anyone selling on Ebay for gem cards.
I am not sure if this is possible or not but I see the potential for the scam to work like this…. the ebay seller bought the gem cards with a stolen Credit Card, then sold them to you at a discount and then you use the gem cards on your account. After a month or so you get perma banned from GW2 cause you used stolen goods to pay for gems.

Even though you was not aware of the stolen CC, you are still responsible for your account to not use stolen goods to pay for stuff on your account.

you can open up a web browser in game without minimizing GW2.

Why hold back people from having randoms, I say let em have it.
The only reason I could see the Elitist being against this format, is they want to control who can get into their group and who can’t and if there is a ability to random a dungeon they loose that ability. What difference did you make, in making your group if that person was not gonna meet you so stringent rules to go with you anyway, they choose to eliminate themselves from the selection processes by choosing to go random. Its actually a time saver for the Elitist Jerk!

I understand some want to have groups that are fluid and everyone just runs it so perfect….well don’t use the random feature…no need to take it away from some that could possible finally get to try the dungeons. Because to them its not about being interactive its about the Elitist being a kitten-hat to them and just maybe they don’t want to have to deal with you all together and this is there light at the end of the tunnel.

Also I love it when people say that these things stop you from playing the game or that people do not talk in the game anymore, what you say is actual the opposite.
I played WoW and used the Daily Random Dungeon every day the ones who did not talk in the chat where talking a mile a minute in a VoiP like ventrilo. I came on every day and said in vent anyone want to run a random with me and tons of people said let me finish this quest. or whatever they was doing at the time the request went out. Not every time, did we end up with a full guild group but it was relatively easy to pug the last spot(s) because of the LFG system they have… the only reason I could see that you could not have fun with this kind of system is you are a kitten-hat to begin with.

since player to player trading is not an option. How would it be, to add the ability to trade an item for another item.
For example you need some iron ore and you have tons of copper ore, you could offer a certain amount of copper for the iron…or lets say you are lucky enough to get a Dawn but you don’t want that one, you need the Legend instead.

If you need an item, in the trading section (that would have to be put in) you could look over trades for items you need to see if anyone is offering a trade you want to do.

Don’t really know how they would implement a tax on this, anyone who wants to give a layout on how this could be done, add to the idea. Just one thing, I think that if there is some kind of tax it should be considerable less than a auction.

Zeefa.3915:

Too hard to click H and go to achievement where daily is the top one and the one you see first? Seriously?

Now one thing does not hurt, really. But I don’t want to end up with a cluttered mess on one side of the screen.

now why would you end up with a cluttered mess?
It seems to me the OP wants to be able to click on said items in the achievement area that would put them in the PS area so as he completed each part it would get a check mark or not be visible. Which would keep him from having to look back and forth. You would not need to apply them if you did not want to, thus your PS area would be clean.
