Guild Wars 2

Note that they announced the content is going until July 1st. So keep them and use at the end. Hopefully they make tickets merchable as well by the end.

No, “everyone” doesn’t like the megaserver now! It is still a major thorn in my guild’s side (and I’d imagine many others as well). Organizing guild events and missions is horrible with the megaserver. Please don’t presume to speak for everybody with statements like that.

I just hope we get my favorite enemy back. White Mantle leading us to the return of the Mursaat!

Pifil.5193:

When will we be hearing about the next, new content patch?

Today, LS2 set for July 1st

It isn’t like transmutation charges are hard to come by. Besides, legendaries get cool skin, particle effect, changeable stats, and top tier stats. I don’t think they need anything more “legendary” than that.

There is only one guild bank and it is very inconveniently located. Put it over by the mystic forge and next to the bank there…problem solved.

Really hope for a high level jungle setting. I love Maguuma jungle in GW1 and can’t wait to go there. Please let this be the case!

The only real con I see, which is big for me, is that it means they continue to devalue the “I was there” items into “I was either there or at a much later time grinded multiple tokens so I could get the skin”

C’mon, they are just account bound skins and not anything that gives advantages to the player base so I don’t see any reason to devalue them like that.

Olba.5376:

And why exactly do you need this feature?

Two words…Gold Sellers!

This thread has dozens just like it (I created one almost a year ago actually). 100% agree and would love to see. Hopefully they are working on it. I’d pay gems for it (assuming it was account bound). Just make it happen!

I agree, it isn’t like these items had special stats, just skins. They were “I was there” items and now they aren’t. Now they are “I was either there or I went to the Festival of Four Winds and farmed a bunch of tokens to buy the skin” items.

It simply takes organization. Problem is that most don’t do well in this setting. My guild was finishing it in 6-9 minutes last night. We got gold twice and silver multiple times. It takes 6 commanders organizing groups (and Teamspeak is helpful, but not required) and then coordinating with each other to ensure that bosses go down at roughly the same time.

Not saying this is good or bad, but the way it is now. Have to say I do miss killing endless mobs from last year, every now and again I just want to let my inner barbarian out with others and just slaughter wave after wave of mobs. That said, you should compare this to the Marionette rather than last year’s Pavilion.

Aspect Arena. 10-15 if you lose, 15-25 if you win. Short rounds too.

RlyOsim.2497:

i would add:

if youre running this in a wvw zerg just use blind and stick on the commander. you can singlehandedly change the tide of a fight by doing this.

One of my favorite things to do. My commander loves me for it!

I would love legendary armor as long as stats are the same as Ascended. Give something shiny and something that can change stats, don’t see anything wrong. I also like the idea of using Ascended as the precurser

Last time we took a Ship to the Zephyrites. With the Lions Arch Port gone I wonder what port we will be taking this time.

Probably a balloon in DR

You beat me to it. Makes sense given the joint event launches. Besides, a balloon makes sense for getting to a city in the sky

The Festival of the Four Winds arrives on May 20th for North American and European players, who will “get the opportunity to help rebuild the beloved city of Lion’s Arch that was destroyed by Scarlet [Briar] in Season 1.”

http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/05/13/rebuild-lions-arch-in-guild-wars-2s-festival-of-the-four-winds/

It isn’t much, just a small notation really from an interview. Seems like they are being tight lipped at the moment. Wonder how it will be incorporated. Last time we had Zephyrite involvement we had a vote. Would love something similar, a vote to decide what the new LA is going to look like!

That said, can’t see it happening. After all, they have to make it look like the China LA which is already in existence

I so want this back. Make it part of a new Living Story, put it in the gem store, add a new dungeon and add there (would make a great jungle dragon theme and my favorite option), give as a karma set, etc.. I’ve been wanting this since I saw it in Beta!

“OP” isn’t a word, it is an acronym for two words “Over Powered.” It is also used as an acronym for the two words “Original Poster.” So my input is that this thread is invalid as there is no word OP.

I know, that is such a troll answer and for that I apologize, just couldn’t resist.

This is a great idea. So great in fact that is has dozens of threads about it already. Some recent, some more than a year old. That isn’t a criticism, who wants to swim through all these threads (search is not great). Point is a lot of people (including me) have asked for it and even more think it a great idea. I believe Anet has even expressed that they liked the idea before. Let’s hope the new traiting system is a first step towards this ultimate goal.

Give me a bank in HotM and that would make me happy. Want to make me happier. put in the following:
-Bank
-Guild Bank
-Mystic Forge
-Crafting Stations
-Laurel Vendor
-Home instance (yeah I know it doesn’t fit, but I can dream)

Now I have my hub back!

Astral Projections.7320:

I have no idea why you guys are being so dismissive of this idea. I’ve seen a number of threads where people claim to have perfect security, no possibility of being hacked, and yet they were. While everyone should have the email or 2 factor authenification, not everyone will. The game has the auto log in feature which allows the possibility of someone getting into an unattended computer, as well as situations where someone has to abruptly leave the computer. Such as one situation where a man was playing and he heard his pregnant wife cry out. He jumped up and left the computer running unattended to go to her and while he was gone his young son got into the account.

An extra layer of optional security that locks people out of your bank and possibly your personal guild bank, why is this an idea that needs to be readily dismissed?

It is just too much for way too circumstantial situations. Under that logic why don’t we have the option to type a password in to start our car after already putting the key into the ignition in order to release the break, for the same or similar reasons as you list above.

The point is that doing such a thing ends up causing more problems with people setting it up, forgetting their password, getting locked out and creating tickets (thus creating manpower to fix user error) to get it solved. Also cause legit issues of the system corrupting passwords and having to be fixed (more manpower to fix). In the end, it causes many more problems than it solves because the only problems it potentially solves are extremely situational. It is a form of risk management.

Pretty much an aesthetic choice. I like sylvari for the variety of looks you can create, but that is about it. The skills you get make little to no difference in the long run from the different races. From a lore perspective, I suppose human makes the most sense, but only slightly.

This should be in the general forum at best. No mesmer related material here.

Gibson.4036:

You have map completion on all five cities, Queensdale, Caledon Forest, Metrica Province, Wayfarer Foothills, and the Plains of Ashford and you are only level 13?

How in the world did you manage that?

This. If I had to guess you did the city completion for your home city and you did the starter zone for that city. Still hard to see you being only lvl 13 unless you skipped the dynamic events, but then it has been a while since I’ve done it so I’ll not judge.

Three options:
1) explore the other starter cities and starter zones, you’ll level rather quickly there. Understand that the game isn’t great at pointing you to this as an option unless you talk to random NPCs.
2) do some exploration in WvW, it will uplevel you and is fun (or even Edge of the Mist where I’ve found leveling very easy).
3) Do the next Personal Story mission anyway. Depending on class, you should be able to do one 2 levels higher without much problem. If you are Warrior or Gaurd you can probably do 3-4 levels above with some effort and when truly skilled even higher than this.

*Guild Halls (especially with megaserver it would make gathering as a guild easier)
*Build Templates

Nope, no way in game. you can try a ticket, but it is unlikely it will be rolled back

Caveth.3268:

They could call them “Guild Reenactments.”

Reenact certain major events in the living story like the Marionette, the destruction of Lion’s Arch (both Escape from LA, and the Battle for Lion’s Arch), the raid into the Tower of Nightmares, the invasion by the Ancient Karka on LA, and the chase after and slaying of the Ancient Karka in Southsun Cove.

This could be done through hologram technology (like that used by Moto for his Super weapons, or the hologram projectors used during Dragon Bash).

Absolutely love the ideas

9 toons
8 80s
1 key farmer
2 100% completion

I’ve been getting the Out of Range message pop up with Lifeblast when I’m clearly within 400-600 range. It has happened multiple times in multiple different logins. Never seen this before.

I’ve noticed this got worse with the last patch. Hadn’t been a problem for me for a long time, but after last patch my Golem stands there watching on the sidelines often enough to notice again. Build and play style haven’t changed (Powermance in PvE)

I just want to echo what many have said. Earning traits is great. Doing map completion to get them is ok, but doing map completion on level 60 or 80 zones for a level 35 adept trait is ridiculous! You are basically saying you can’t have that trait unless you either pay gold (tough for new player) or become a well equipped level 80. If it wanted us to complete Gendaran or Snowden or something like that I would not be annoyed.

In my case it is a good thing I have 8 lvl 80 toons and don’t need these traits, but it is way over the top for anybody starting out.

Yes, just talk to the Black Lion Armorsmith (currently down, but should be back soon) and he will convert them to an unlimited inventory item.

Stiofan.6720:

I and I’m sure the vast majority of players disagree with the previous comment.

I agree. I mean really, what does it matter to others what the stats are to a uniquely named weapon. I want my weapon’s name to be the skin I worked hard to get. I want the flavor text for event items to come with that name. And if somebody is asking what my weapon/armor is it is 99% of the time so they know what skin I’m wearing.

If the people are worried about the “ping your stats” issue, there shouldn’t be an issue as the ping that would come with it comes with the stats clearly marked..

WvW

Ummm…they reworded unid. dyes for duplicate dyes you had placed on multiple toons. If you never bound the dye to a toon then you wouldn’t get anything for them. Think it through, they were compensating for people who used multiples of the same dye back when they were soulbound. Those people couldn’t get them back. In your case it sounds like you just had a lot of dyes of a certain color and never actually bound them, you weren’t “stuck” with them and therefore were not compensated in any way.

Just saw a person with the Wings of Dwayne that is named Tempered Spinal Blades. He was rather P.O.ed

Sera.6539:

Lil Puppy.5216:

It’s funny cause the names that you see (aside from the bugged ones and they’re obvious) are the actual skin names. There’s like 30 different names for Iron Sword, exact same skin but each karma vendor has it’s own name for it. Same with armors. Get used to it, if your preferred skin name isn’t in the wardrobe name list, you’re going to get what the wardrobe says it’s called.

Maybe I’m interpreting your post wrongly. We’re bothered by the items we transmuted to get the name and look of an item, with the stats of another. With the patch, it takes the base stats item name, and the look of the other.

For instance, Wings of Dwayna. The default stats are:
+179 Healing Power
+128 Power
+128 Toughness
Superior Sigil of Life

Not [many] people are going to use that stat setup, so some may transmute to a berserker weapon for instance. Before the patch (this is my case-not generalizing), it was called Wings of Dwayna with the stats of a Molten Longbow. Now, it’s called Molten Longbow, with the look of Wings of Dwayna. It’s pretty much the same thing, in a technical sense. But the name is something we want to be able to choose. We basically want to flip the name of the item, and the one after the Transmuted line.

Bingo! (I had the same experience with Mad King’s Memoirs)

There are a few posts on this (one I created) and it is very annoying. They use to do it this way with the old transmutation method. It is especially bad for items like the Mad Kings Memoirs as you also lose all the flavor text that goes along with it.

Hot Boy.7138:

I was sooo excited for this trait…. such a HUGE letdown with that internal cooldown. I could have sworn I read that there wouldn’t be a cooldown on it.

They actually said in the ready up that there was no ICD. Either they ninja changed it after, the people on the ready up did not do their homework, or it is bugged. Simple as that.

Redenaz.8631:

Oh, geeze, I’m glad you posted about this. I’ve been wearing my unmodified Mad Memories: Complete Edition since I got it, since I haven’t been able to afford/obtain a Celestial backpiece to transmute it on. If the flavor text goes, I think I’d rather just continue to take a hit on stats.

Yeah, I was planning to transmute the skin onto an ascended backpiece, but since I had a better exotic now I went ahead and used the skin. Almost destroyed the original when I noticed the flavor was gone. Would hate to lose it forever. Hopefully Ante notices this is a problem and fixes it (shouldn’t be too hard I don’t think and I believe the old transmutation copied this stuff). If they don’t I’ll unfortunately have to do like you and go with less optimal stats

So I have the Mad Memoires: Complete Edition. I transmute that skin with the new wardrobe system and it loses the flavor text that is unique to the item and frankly helps make the item. This is very disappointing. I love that I can use the skin multiple times, but the loss of this flavor text is very disheartening.

Anybody else run into these types of issues? I’d think it would be easy enough to copy the text over with the skin. Hoping this is just an oversight bug.

I’ve come to look forward to this thread on patch day. Every patch day somebody makes this thread and every patch day it is the same answer.

I think they’ve been sneaking in pieces of the download for days now so it won’t be so big (it will still be large though). When the final download hits, it will activate the pieces we’ve already downloaded.

I’ve been asking for the return of this skin to PvE since Beta. I am almost certain it was available in PvE during the second Beta event and have missed it ever since.

This is something I’d like. One way or another I’d like to have an “account bound” commander tag. I mean the World XP is now account bound, ascended is account bound, achievements are account bound, I’d really like for my 8 toons to be able to share the commander tag after all I do the same things with all of them.

Red Queen.7915:

As far as I know, if you purchased gem store kins twice, you can ask support for a refund for one of them…
Just FYI.

I think I read this aswell.

That’s good but still… Even though you can get back the skin you used in PvP since it will be in your wardrobe those who played only PvP will have to use transmugation charges to get their looks back.
Again I am not affected by this and I also gonna add that I dunno actually what is going to happen with the PvP cosmetics you use when the patch goes live but I have seen the complaints so I had an idea for it.

You get 1 Trans. Stone per pvp rank so that part isn’t all that much of a problem.

It is a problem for me. Each of my characters have particular looks in spvp right now. I’m only rank 46. 46 charges is not going to cover the armor/weapon skins for my 12+characters just to get back to looks I already had for them.

“12+” so umm…you don’t know how many characters you have?

Axelwarrior.9084:

Don’t forget that you only need to use ONE transmutation charge for each skin and you can use it infinitely.

I’d say that’s just enough freedom. A few goldsinks help a lot with the economy, too.

This isn’t the way it has been explained thus far. Would be great if you are right, but you don’t get infinite use after one transmutation charge. You have the skins unlocked automatically when you equip or salvage the item, then if you want to apply that skin later you must use a transmutation charge every time you wish to transmute it onto another piece of gear.

That said, as long as they give charges for EVERY instance that they currently give transmutation stones now, I’m good with it. If they nerf this then it will ruin the system in my opinion.
