Guild Wars 2

We also need a bigger variety of male faces since all of them but one look like female faces. Plus a better variety of facial hair options similar to what the Norn have would be nice too. The impression I get is that Human face, hair, and facial hair options were created as a afterthought, no imagination put into them.

It would take too much work i guess, but it sucks that GW2 is based arround those huge events, Guild missions and WvW but most ppl have lags because GW2 engine isnt very good for huge events and WvW which is kinda ironic

Particle effects scaling in graphics options would help a lot with that. And it’s been suggested in the suggestions forums.

What the header says, we need to be able to scale the particle effects. (like dang near every other MMO has) When there’s a large number of players with all of their spells, explosions, etc. letting loose with all of that at once the lag is, to say the least, spectacular! In WvW the lag it causes gets so bad that you cant react in any way except to die.

As eye candy it’s useless because you cant tell any individual effect from another and, personally, I couldn’t care less about how cool a special effect looks, (especially if they interfere with gameplay) I’m more concerned with playability and massive particle effects that majorly lag up the gameplay is worse than useless.

So give us a option to scale down the particle effects please.

Thank you kindly!

Agreed! Does anyone even wear town clothes? In my case, no. I’ve only worn them once, for about 2 minutes, right after I started my 1st char to see what they looked like and my reaction was (and still is) “meh!”

Now armor skins… Heck yeah!

Duels please! There aint no better way to pass the time waiting for a group to form up than with dueling!

Brigga.5703:

Same problem. Game froze now it tries to connect but doesn’t then says this is usually do to router or firewall settings. All my ports are open and the game as full connection through firewall. Something must be wrong with the log in server.

I got the same. Since no settings on my comp have changed since earlier when I had no problem logging in, I’m pretty sure that it’s the log in server where the problem is.

Same here. Was trying to get into a PvP zone, got kicked, and now cant get back into the game.

I’m open for any suggestions as to where I can put my first of these points for the best use in WvW. Plus, can someone explain how “Siege Bunker” works.

Thank you!

How about a option to lock one’s camera view to where one is always looking the same way one’s char is? When your char switches targets say to the left HE pivots but your view is still looking the same way your char was facing and you ofton cant see your target without having to manually rotate the view. While it’s a nice profile or even a front view, I’m not out there to admire my char.
A camera lock would solve this. I’m sure I speak for others as well as myself, I like to see what I’m fighting without having to manually rotate the camera view.

UndeadRufus.6832:

This issue has been exacerbated now that ArenaNet has placed the Super Adventure Box into the event list. I don’t care about the Super Adventure Box,

Same here. I couldn’t care less about the Super Adventure Box but I’m gonna have it cluttering up my screen for who knows how long.

Esprit Dumort.3109:

The devs told us that culling and lag were separate problems. Now that culling has been removed, I imagine the lag issue will start seeing some attention. And yes, the lag is server side, but people with less powerful machines see the effects more readily as large fights test the limits of their computers, trying to draw all the players and particle effects that server tells it to, and thus bogging down their machine, coupling server lag with processor lag.

A option to reduce particle effects would help a lot here. I don’t understand why it’s not a option already.

Yeah, ever since the patch it’s been kitten near unplayable. I set ALL of my graphics settings to their lowest, which I’ve never had to do in ANY MMO, and it dos’nt help.

I’d rather see guild halls that can be used by several players instead of housing that will only be used, and seen, by one player.

Flamenco.3894:

Would you play in an area that’s completely under water?

No, I wouldn’t ’cuz I hate underwater combat.

If not, what do you not like about under water combat?

It seems like everytime I’m involved in a underwater battle with what I thought was only 1 or 2 mobs, I end up having Jaws and all of his relatives swarming me.

Ravion Hawk.4736:

They would have to deal with the Storyline Quests – Not happening
They would have to deal with Cultural Armor – Not happening
They would have to deal with Racial Skills – Not happening.

Just make it available for chars who’ve already finished the race storyline. As for the cultural armor and racial skills, the player wanting to change race would have to lose those and suck it up.

diabluz, if you like the “trinity” so much go play a MMO that has it instead of demanding that GW2 change to it to suit you. There’s plenty of MMOs with the “trinity” out there so good luck and happy hunting.

Personally, I like the method in this game. No waiting forever and a day for a healer, or a tank, just put the group together and go.

Minos.5168:

First, it’d be a (much needed) karma sink. Everyone has an overabundance of karma with nothing to really expend it with. (Especially since they keep introducing new Ascended gear with new currencies.)

No, EVERYONE does NOT have a overabundance of karma. Maybe YOU do, but you dont speak for everyone else. How about players that are building up karma for upgrading to the level 80 karma gear? Or those who’re building up karma for their legendary weap after completing 100% world exploration? Your suggestion would make it that much harder for folks like that to build up the karma to get that gear.

Vorch.2985:

I’m gonna go ahead and say his tastes are wrong.

It’s right for him!

As the old saying goes; “To each their own.”

toothless.1429:

Particle effects and Shinies.
Give me the option to reduce spell effects, whether it be mine or another players. Of course combo fields and red circles are important, but you get what I mean.

Vanity items generally have fancy graphics which are exactly that; vanity.
Give me the option of not seeing someone’s legendary, not seeing a weapon’s or armour’s particle effects, hell I don’t even want my fps to suffer with foot prints on the ground. Sounds like another win/win to me, especially as they would be a generic quaggan anyway.

This, I agree with. The spell effects at large boss fights, Maw for example, are insane! One cant even see anything EXCEPT the spell effects. And while I have a great comp those effects lag me up, not badly, but being able to reduce those graphics would be nice. Hell, it’s all eye candy anyway so there should be a option to reduce them.

I usually dont have problems there either, no matter how many players of mobs there are, but today’s been horrible. And it only happened in Cursed Shore.

Just a short while ago I was in Cursed Shore, for a whole 10 minutes, and crashed to the char select screen twice during that time plus had lag that halted me doing anything for as long as 20 seconds. I finally gave up and went elsewhere, where I had none of these problems.

Has anyone else had this happen?

Yeah, unfortunately I was mislead. Oh well! One concern that I have is that since this is created in the Mystic Forge it may be a random weap and nothing would tick me off more than collecting all of those ingredients only to have the MF give a weap that none of my chars can use.

Gestankfaust.4216:

How so? I’m nearing completion so….would like to know a real opinion

Mystic Forge ingredients

1 Bloodstone Shard
250 Obsidian Shard
1 Gift of Exploration
1 Gift of Battle

Some reward for finishing exploring every nook and cranny in every zone, including running the PvP gauntlet in WvW, and you get to do MORE stuff! It’s like one’s boss rewarding you with more work hours and you have to pay him for doing it. The Obsidian shards are only available from the Karma Vendor at Balthazar’s temple, which is endlessly contested so good luck in getting them.

I know that I wont be wasting my time doing 100% exploring on my alts.

Never mind, I just found out about it on GW2 wiki. This is a frigging REWARD? It’s a kick in the balls!

Ok, I just finished getting 100% map completion (finally!) and I get 2 gifts of exploration. Now what the blazes do I do with them? I heard that when one completed 100% map that we got a legendary weapon, so what’s with this?

Donari.5237:

I’ve heard you have to go to the Chantry both from Bloodtide and from Fort Trinity to get the world completion credit for it.

I hope that aint the case because my main char is in Vigil and cant use the asura gate to CoS.

Yes I did BioFringe. I’ll keep looking. Wish me luck!

I’m working on 100% map completion but after adding up Points of Interest that I have left I’m short one. I still have to get all of the ones in WvW and all of the PvE zones show 100% with all of the PoIs done so is there some instanced place with a PoI out there somewhere? Like Hall of Monuments, which didnt count on world exploration?

“Not to mention the battles against his three champions felt far more challenging and epic than the encounter against Zhaitan himself.”

Hell, the seemingly endless zergs on the Airship were more epic than dropping Zaitan.

I’d like to see 2handed axes. I was surprised to learn that there was no such weap in GW2! Those have always been very common melee weaps.

I just had to dump GW2 from my comp and I’m trying to download the game. However, after GW2setup finishes and I get the prompt from Windows firewall to allow this program to make changes to y comp, the whole thing just vanishes. Nothing happens. Any advice?

I was able to clear GW2 from my files but when I download GW2setup it dissappears when i click for Windows to allow the “changes to the computer.”

I’ve had problems with my comp reciently and cannot connect to GW2 now. All I get is the starter window and nothing happens. I cant even close the starter window. In the programs section is dos’nt show how many megabytes or a version which leads me to believe that something happened to it. Anyway, I decided to uninstall GW2 and download it again and I cant do it! I get a prompt to send a ticket to Anet. Any advice?

BTW, my computer problems began when I tried to download Mumble.

In some of the events in Wayfarer Foothills one needs to block a vent using a ice block. I’ve run all over the place looking for them and no cigar. Where does one find these?

I personally dont have a problem with most of the daily requirments. Notice I said MOST. The crafting daily needs to take a hike. I dont like crafting but now in order to finish the dailies I’ve had to take up Weaponsmithing. Being forced to take that up is male bovine excrement of the highest order! I would’nt bother with it and skip the daily if it was’nt that the crafting requirement is kitten near every day!

Thank you Garambola!

In Malchor’s leap at a karma vendor there’s a brestplate that I like called “Pagga’s Brestplate”. Does anyone know if there’s a set of leggings that match it? So far I’ve not seen any.

It is boring. A dozen waves of adds on the airship is way too much and got boring real fast.

This has happened to me twice in 5 minutes on the Kessix Hills zone. I get booted to the charactor select screen and when I log that char back in Im at the entrance to the zone and have lost all gains I made. What’s the scoop here Anet?

Definition of “daily”.

1. Of or occurring during the day.
2. Happening or done every day: the physician’s daily rounds.
3. Computed or assessed for each day: a daily record.
4. Everyday: casual clothes only for daily use.

Notice how it dos’nt say “takes all day” like this new system does.

This whole new daily system was, IMHO, not well thought out.

Who thought up this “new” daily crap? You cant do some of them solo. We’re being FORCED to craft if you want to complete it! (I hate crafting, in ANY MMO) How is this suppossed to make doing dailies fun? You turned it from something that was FUN to do into a PITA.

This is male bovine excrement.

Personally, I hope GW2 never introduces mounts. Getting around on foot and by waypoints (those that aint constantly contested anyway) is fine.

I can see it now, we’d get ground mounts and some folks will be happy for a little while. Then the cry will go up for flying mounts. No thanks to either.

Thank you bri!

Thanks folks. I’ve always understood that dungeon exploration was a requirement, glad to hear that it’s not so.

How does one get to the area in Lornar’s Pass that’s west of the False Lake Waypoint? I’ve seen it filled in on maps on the web and I’ve seen mobs up there but how to get to it?

Thanks!

Ever since FotM was introduced it’s next to impossible to get a dungeon exploration group together. I understand that dungeon exploring is nessessary to complete world exploration but since dungeon exploration is pretty much dead how about removing this as a requirment for completing world exploration? Hell, it’s tough enough finishing up Orr what with kitten near every dungeon entrance area endlessly contested.

Shameless bump.

All of the zones I have on my world map are 100% complete. Maybe there’s a zone that I aint noticed a way to get to that has them. Thanks folks.

I have 10 more hearts to do to help complete exploring but I dont see them on any PvE zones. Are there heart tasks in WvW?
