Guild Wars 2

Wait… a scroll of experience for all characters?

When all my characters are lvl80 already?

facepalm

So because you have to pay more for them, you want to deny them to everyone?

Seems rational.

I like named… it suits Mesmer well I think.

Ooze. Thats the only species I want to see playable.

I am sitting here literally laughing at the tears of the Evon supporters.

Laughing.

Ha ha.

;)

OP:

Remember the disappointment you felt when you first fought Zhaitan. Apply to Abaddon.

You wouldn’t have been happy either way.

8.5/10. Nice armour mix. Reminds me a little of the wh40k Emporer

More Primeval!

I have to be honest and say that part of the reason I insist on voting for Kiel (not that I wasn’t anyway) is because of the condescending attitude of some GW1 veterans and their insistence that we should all be interested in the same things that they are.

Use a mouse hardware program like on Logitech’s Setpoint where holding a button makes it repeat. Cannot be detected.

I respect anyone holding one, as long as they actually crafted it. Not because they have one, but because they have a lot more patience than I can muster. The weapon itself means nothing, I dont like most of them, but a player who is that dedicated as to go through the months of farming etc, yeah that is respectworthy.

I guess I respect those who bought one, but to a much lesser extent. They still had to farm all that gold.

I certainly will not dislike or disrespect anyone because of an item they hold. Either way, they worked for that and while I do not think it implies any ‘status’, all power to them for their dedication.

You know… number #2 there is a kitten good idea! Like an informer keeping you updated on the current storyline, and it would be more personable than reading a wiki.

Somehow the current /wiki thing reminds me a little of every player having a copy of the HHGTTG and it doesnt feel… right.

Darani – was discussing the bank tabs yesterday. We get 5 free character slots, would be great if every purchased slot added a bank tab

… maybe it is because it is early morning, but that didn’t make sense to me.

I am using Midnight on armour. How is that not showing its true colour. It is the colour of the item it is placed on…

Abyss distorts and obfuscates detail in the armour it is used on. I’d happily unallocate my Abyss and sell it in a heartbeat if I could.

…about GW2, what would it be?

For me, the game is pretty much perfect right now except for the feeling of ‘team’ between my characters.

I would love, DEARLY love to be able to have up to 2-3 of my characters follow the one I was playing as NPCs, sort of exploring/roaming as a squad. Even if they only used their basic auto-attacks, I think it would add enormously to the feel of the game to roll as a unit. Too many times out there I am bored because I feel I am totally alone.

I think it would also be great if players could manufacture armour to sell which was specifically coloured to another person’s request. They would be able to change the colour themselves later (just as we do with drop loot) but if they do not physically have the colour which they removed, then tough. Just like drop loot, you would then have to choose a colour which you did have. In this way, people without Abyss/Celestial etc could have a set of gear in that colour, as long as they didnt change anything.

Thirdly… account bound dyes. In my character’s roleplaying lore, they all know each other. That is part of the roleplaying side. But none of my characters can dye a teammate’s (other character’s) gear! This means that we are stuck obtaining lots of different dyes only to go “Oh, that doesnt look quite right” and never using them again, when the ideal dye could be on another toon.

Thoughts?

Midnight Ice is superior and cheaper to Abyss in every way.

My warrior wears MI on her Primeval armour. She had Abyss, and I removed it. It just seemed to destroy all the detailing.

Monotonous? Engineer? More weapon adaptability than any other class, plus less reliance on keeping gear up to date than other classes.

Other kits are flamethrower (burny stuff), bombs (splodey stuff), elixir (poisony stuff) and grenades (long range splodey stuff). You can spec engineer to have 1500 range with nades, increased damage from explosions plus it is simply THE fastest class in the game. If traited you have perma 33% movement speed.

Most adapatable and fun class in the game by a long way, IMO.

Hmm, I like the Krytan outfit, but I dont think it really goes with the tech look of the leggings and the eyepiece. The Krytan top also cuts off very awkwardly. Colours look simple and honest, a good thing.

She is a pretty enough girl though. That mix of clothing sadly brings her down to a 6/10.

Here is my mesmer, Spachiana (named after the Echinopsis Spachiana, a flowering cactus with hallucinogenic properties).

^ 9.5/10. Nice armour, I love the Priory weapons and the colours really suit the armour well.

The first character I started, my little thief Leveillei.

I take thief to dungeons and it fares better than either iron class or any silk class I own. Only the ranger does a better job.

No I am not trolling.

My experience, hardest to easiest.

Elementalist
<a long gap>
Mesmer
Guardian
Necro
Engineer
Warrior
Thief
Ranger

Guardian could probably slide down a little, but I was already bored of the game by the time I played that class, so it felt grindy, also I did not enjoy the weapon skills until I used hammer, which wasn’t till I 80’d. Likewise thief was my first, everything was still fresh, so it could probably go up 2 spaces.

Personally I go to Ebonhawke, step into the quarry, and murder all the rats. There are about 8 just as you enter the quarry

I’d like to see Wintersday before 2014. Because if 2014 comes before Wintersday, we really do need to go look at what chaos the Thaumanova explosion spawned, with all due haste!

Shiren.9532:

I know within the first 30 minutes of the server going live (which was before any stated launch time, you had sit and spam to log in) most of the lore abiding, one word asuran names were taken.

Things like Texx, Sokka, Vekk, Vikk, Vokk, Tokk, Tikk, Tekk etc.

I considered making an Asura mesmer, but after trying 19(!) Asura style names, I gave up and make another human.

Minos.3450:

Great, I’m gonna pay my respect to the queen by offering her a pair of shoes and a foot lotion.

After almost one year of barefoot wandering I guess it will be greatly welcomed.

If barefoot was good enough for Zola Budd, its good enough for anyone!

So they are going to build a new royal pavilion on top of ground that is knowingly unstable and/or has needed thousands of tonnes of reclaim to fill in.

What could go wrong with a plan like that?

Ah, and what happens to all the people who lost their homes, who are now either living in tents or crammed 8 to a 1 bedroom residence since they lost everything they owned?

My humans, I just randomise something but I am very choosy with my Sylvari names.

My thief is Leveillei, after the Anemone Leveillei (woodland anemone) plant. Elementalist is Rhubey (short for Rhubarb :P )

I found it difficult to find a name for my cactii mesmer. I tried your usual psychotropic cactii like pachanoi and micromeris which were taken, but finally settled on spachiana. The flower of Echinopsis Spachiana isn’t exactly like that of the Fervid Censor back item, but it’s close enough for jazz.

I wonder how many people in game understand what the names refer to

The Baws.5164:

Guardian – Toughness, Elementalist – Power/Condition Damage, Necro – Condition Damage, etc. etc.

Thank you!

I told friends I was going power/con dam on my Ele and they acted like I was the biggest idiot in the game. I am glad someone agrees with me!

There was a thread some time back which answered, mathematically, which was best out of vitality and toughness. I cannot remember exactly but I think it said that squishier classes are best with vitality, more sturdy professions are better with toughness. I think.

Since I am never going to play PvP or WvW, I will never get the Hints Completed achieve… is there a way to get rid of it from my ‘Nearly completed’ status bar in Hero, cos it is driving me nuts!

Hey, at least we have lip flap now! Didn’t used to have that.

For me, my warrior is the ‘commander’ and in the characters’ stories, whichever I am playing is the ‘star’ for that mission, and any others who played that particular story replaces a random NPC.

As such, each of my characters’ paths crosses over others from time to time, but they only get together as a group at The Battle Of Claw Island.

From, there, they split up into groups again to pursue the Pact objectives, reuniting for the last few missions before Zhaitan. But whenever anyone talks to ‘the Commander’, I consider that the active character is simply watching the exchange with my warrior.

1. Have tried PVP? If not, why?
I tried it for about 20 mins. Didn’t like it.

2. Tried it and liked it or not?
As above. Didn’t enjoy. I don’t like ‘competitive’ games.

3. Are active PVP players?
No.

4. Done both WvW and PVP: which do you prefer and why?
Can’t stand either. WvWvW is completely repetitive, pointless and boring. PvP is just not my thing.

Guest on a low pop server, it might work then. Did for me, today.

Golem one is Air Drop.

I love that one, Estate Of Decay (I was totally wth when I went in there first time and there was a party on!), both Battles of Claw Island, and anything involving Seiran, or Cerys and Tegwen (other than Armor Guard for obvious reasons).

As we all know, apart from a few path variations, the Story remains the same for each character we have. A little personal background, then Orders, then Claw Island, then Pact etc.

So if you have multiple characters and the events in the story only occur once (there is only one Zhaitan after all), how do you RP or explain the lore regarding each of your characters’ stories? There can only be one second-in-command to Trahearne, only one apprentice of each Order’s mentor etc.

I find it increasingly difficult to RP or explain the role of each consecutive character after the first on any particular path. In the end, my characters are all a squad but the rigidity and repetitiveness of the story makes it hard to define each of my characters in this sense.

I finished this on my kitten able Ele. I hate Ele class. I hate it so much I deleted one at 72, and the second, I crafted through 50 levels. I hate… Hate… HATE it.

And yet, I finished Estate of Decay.

Okay, the feller is stationary. I recommend going to the far right column and staying behind it. Use ranged weapons to hit the Orrians running round him (or whatever they do to move, they don’t have legs that I can see).

After a while, one will kite off and come after you. Kill him. Once there are no more dancing blades, focus on the Mouth.

At 50% health he respawns more Orrians. Rinse and repeat. But if you are not attacking, stay in cover!

I am an anarchist r/l so I wouldn’t.

In character…

Leveillei (Sylvari thief) would vote for whoever seemed most friendly… so Kiel.
Manya Ivanova (human warrior) doesnt trust Charr… so Kiel.
Solissa Starwood (human ranger) has a penchant for Charr… Evon for her.
Adria Zanotti (human engineer) is a secret Seperatist sympathiser… she wouldn’t vote.
Psi Knight Brindis (human guardian) considers herself a goddess, so above petty mortal politics… no vote.
Rhubey (sylvari elementalist) doesn’t understand the point of leadership… no vote.
Deanna Raevon (human necro) is too young to vote… no vote.

2 Kiel, 1 Evon, 4 abstentions.

We were. Standing next to each other as we tried to zone in.

We solved the issue by guesting to a lower pop server. Bugged I guess.

Which world you are playing on (or are in overflow from)
What map you are on
How many people in your party
Any other details you can provide

- Dragonbrand (all resident on DB)
- All
- various

Not getting invites to party missions, nor do my teammates get invites when I initiate it.

My picture keeps going to relief even when Im in the same area as my party. Odd.

It looks like Im bugged. Cannot get invites to anything. Great.

Tried on 3 characters now. None of them get invited. They had Kiel buttons popped.

Edit:
Different character, different group, still no invite. GG.

Kiel trials, everyone wearing Kiel tags, 2 members of the party arent getting invited.

I can join but am alone, and 3 of my party can join but I dont get invited.

Is this a common issue?

I caved and bought 17 keys. 5 scraps, and it seems that this is a GOOD drop rate?

Never again.

I would really like two of the pistols for my engineer.

But at this drop rate, they can go fly a kite if they think I’m buying keys.

Cheers for all the suggestions! I will have a cycle through and see how I get on.

I never used glyphs before, trying them now and they are working out quite well for me, cheers! How would you recommend I trait for them?

Huh… I do more damage with water #1 and #2 than any other attack except Churning Earth?

Ok, I am running D/D. I was running cleric gear since I was told vit was important, just switched to Knights (lvl 65) with upgrades focusing on vit.

I am running combos: usually earthshake and churning earth, shocking aura updraft and RTL, then to fire to finish with burning speed drakes breath and ring of fire. I am trying to stack conditions, knockdown the enemy and keep as mobile as I can.

I had an lvl 72 before before I deleted it because in the krait orb line I died continuously against Head Slaver Nymfassa in Intercepting The Orb… when I was lvl 72 with all rare gear.

There’s no way I should be only doing 106 damage per hit at lvl 66 is there? I am getting 3 shot destroyed by anything veteran, cannot do damage and cannot take it.

I am playing D/D with 0 0 0 26 30. Cannot finish lvl 62 story missions at lvl 66, got defeated twice by 3 lvl 55 grawl. I just do not seem to be able to fight anything.

I am not a noob, I have 5xlvl 80s but I just cannot get my head around why Elementalist is such utter weak ****.

Anyone got any tactics for me? Cheers.
