Guild Wars 2

Xar.6185:

The game already knows which particular ‘part’ of an achievement that has been completed. That way credit won’t be issued for repeating a particular ‘part’.

So why not just display this information to the player?

Simple qulaity of life fix. Should have been in from day one really, but it most definitely should have come in with the achievement tab update.

This is exactly my point. Thing like the diving achievement really sucks without this display, especially when you’ve been playing for a year.

I’m confused, I’m fairly confident that it is once per day per account, not per toon. I have many alts and I’m pretty sure I’ve never been able to mine with more than one toon per day.

Sir Vincent III.1286:

She claims, “So much makes sense now. The Pale Tree, the Nightmare Court, Caithe and Faolain…it’s all part of a grand design.”

Yet she believes that she’s not part of that design and can change things however she wants.

“We can change the rules…well, I can. And I’m going to.”

WHAT THE H’?!

If she’s as smart as the story claims her to be, she would have realized that her every action are perhaps part of that “grand design”; that all her actions are preset and predefined and there’s no way for her to escape that fact.

But whatever, let the reality in Tyria implodes.

Think Neo from The Matrix and Scarlet suddenly makes sense

I’m interested in this as well. Would love to know from where these portals are coming. Scarlet sure has outdone herself and after reading her short story (very well done by the way) I’m even more intrigued.

A little off subject, but given the time needed and in some cases luck of the draw, it would have been nice for a title to be associated with the Invasion Canceler achievement.

I too have asked for this multiple times. You think it would be rather easy. I’ve played for over a year and at this point have no clue which dives I’ve made with the diving goggles and which I haven’t. I also have been stuck on 174/175 explorable in the Shiverpeaks, but don’t know what I’m missing (even though I have 100% world completion). Dungeon paths would also be nice to know.

In all, it shouldn’t be that hard as obviously it is tracked for the achievement…just make it visible please!

I wish they would add lists in general to the achievements. I’ve been playing for over a year now and don’t always remember which areas I’ve been to for the exploration piece (have had 174/175 of Shiverpeaks for a while, but don’t know where that last bit is). Would also be nice for the dungeon paths and diving goggles (the gods only know which of those I’ve already done and which I haven’t).

I love her and hope that her background becomes multiple sidequests. My suspicions are she is from the same “other pale tree” as Malyck and hope that ultimately our lead us to that tree to expand on the story line left with a big question mark from the Sylvari storyline.

I too was shocked by the downtime of this tonic. I was very excited about getting this tonic, but frankly at this point it just gets chalked up to useless junk that takes up space. I have a hard time even giving it a slot in my item inventory to carry around with this kind of downtime.

ANET – Great concept, nice execution in getting it and the effect, a giant FAIL on the amount of downtime

I’m holding out that this will be found as a “bug” and the duration and cooldown were accidently switched.

So, to be clear, do you actually need it to complete the missions? I have 7 toons I play regularly and often swap out. I want to make sure that if I do the missions on one that I’ll still get credit.

Yes, I did the same thing. Stopped hunting bombs and killing badguys to watch the hob-tron interaction and kidnapping. I loved it!

There seems to be a new thread about this every month. On one hand, it does list as “unique” so if you don’t know what that means then you should probably look it up before spending the currency. On the other hand, apparently enough people are making this mistake to show that more hand-holding is necessary so I don’t see a problem with putting a warning label on it (heck even shampoo has a warning label)

Simply put, she won’t die because it would cause confusion with the Human personal story. In the end, she will remain the Queen for a long time.

I’m hoping they lead into a whole living story about *Minor Spoiler* the other pale tree from which Malyck came. That part of the personal story never really went anywhere. He just went off to find his home and hopefully convince the others (if there were any) to help in our fight against the Nightmare Court and the dragons.

I agree, and while we’re at it, I would love to be able to sell all those support buttons (not the tokens, but the buttons for Gnash and Keil).

Vol.5241:

IT HAS TO BE KIEL. Since she is easily disposable.

I’ve seen this theory before and thought about it myself. I would love for Kiel to really be the person behind the Aetherblades (or behind the larger organization that formed them and the Molten Alliance since it has been implied to be the same person). That would make her the personal nemesis that we’ve been told was coming.

That would be very ironic and interesting if we ended up voting our own nemesis into power! Please let this be true.

Yes, it is as if somebody is very unhappy and planning something

They’ve Xed out the queen’s eyes, painted a frown on her face, thrown paint to distort the title of “Queen’s Speech” and over the queen’s body.

Sounds like somebody doesn’t like the speech and plans to wreck the party…wonder who that could be looking up at the sky

This has been brought up in other threads as well. But the bottom line on this is simple for me. If it was of Master’s Kit quality, I would have bought it in a heart beat for the convenience. I have a full set of the unlimited gathering tools, however had they been of iron quality (equivalent of basic salvage kit) then I would have never considered buying them.

Lucas.9162:

“Like anyone can even know that.”

Why are you using quotation marks there…who are you quoting?

Anyway, this is about right. Nobody in the forums are going to know this. People at ANET wouldn’t know either because they either don’t see a problem or don’t know how to fix the problem since it has been lingering since before launch.

Simply put, I’d buy if it was master quality. I bought a full set of unlimited gathering tools mostly for the convenience, however if they had been iron quality (the equivalent of a basic salvage kit) I wouldn’t have bought them. Very disappointing as I was looking forward to an unlimited salvage kit

Shouldn’t this be posted in the “lore” section? As for my contribution, I think that it is very much a mix. In a world of magic, I don’t think science and magic could avoid each other for long.

Things like the hobo-tron interactions are what make me love the game and relish adventuring. It is the little things that make the difference.

253 laurels right now and yes, I’m waiting to spend them in hopes that something else will be offered. Frankly I want some Valkyrie ascended gear to be on there. But I have 9 lvl 80 toons and need to make sure I have enough to equip them when the time comes.

Is the Queens Pavilion temporary or perm? If temporary, what are we going to do with that huge and well done space?

/signed
I’ve given numerous reasons on other posts so will leave my comments to them.

My guild uses portals all the time in the Guild Puzzle mission to get everybody where they need to be. We also use it in open PvE for jumping puzzle assistance and general Vista assistance. Granted we usually have an ample supply of mesmers to do this, but a few people with the portal item ensures we don’t actually need one for those harder moments.

Torch with skills that have green otherwordly color would be cool. I agree with previous posters that burning isn’t something I’m thrilled that we got, but if it is here to stay then Torch would be awesome.

Torch also has a dark dungeon vibe to it which I think fits the necromancer.

I noticed this too when doing dailies and fear is my primary interrupt on my necro. Very annoying!

1. Sounds like it should be in the suggestion forum rather than here
2. Not a bad idea, however I’m not sure how it would implement. Seems a lot of queuing for something already available in open world. It would also spread population even more.
3. Would these be new and exclusive JPs, or existing JPs?

From Wiki “On the outer ring of The Crown Pavillion there are ramps leading up to the Gauntlet.”

I believe it is in the northwestern side (may be on other side too, don’t know as I didn’t look)

Frankly I don’t see anything in the OPs thread that isn’t already in others (despite his/her opening statement) except the point of measuring how much they play a toon based on how much gold they have. There is a better track for that, type /age. Tracking by gold accumulation is inaccurate at best because playing a short time in some areas nets more gold than playing triple the time in others.

For other points, I say look at the other threads again.

I just got into the game tonight and noticed my DS didn’t seem to last so long now. Was going to post here but see it is already there. So first they take the absorption factor away so damage bleeds over, now they make it more fragile too. REALLY?!

Hopefully these will be added soon. Though I love the wallet and appreciate the inclusion.

Oh yeah I read that but you guys must be from another country cause here in US it’s only Aug 5.

People are talking about what to do during the maintenance TOMORROW, there is no maintenance today.

Yes, you are correct. However common practice for many people is to consider “today” until they typically go to bed. Midnight is “tomorrow” however a very large group would consider that part of “today’s” gaming time.

Bottom line, at midnight PDT GW2 is going down for up to 6 hours.

I don’t think it is great or suicidal, it just isn’t executed in a real fun way. I think there is real potential here, but it needs developed and for somebody to take a good hard look at it. I’d love for a primarily underwater map to be created, but not in its current state.

Great, let’s give the devs even more ideas for the future . We are the most masochistic profession in the forums (fitting I suppose).

I’ve been asking for the acheivments to show at least \what you’ve done so far for a while. Hopefully they add. For example, I’ve been playing for the better part of a year and can’t remember which diving goggles I’ve already done.

Thanks Elidath. Anybody have build advice for Dungeons/Fractals?

Yes, yes, 1,000 time yes. I’ve been playing since Beta and frankly I don’t remember which paths I’ve been down in some dungeons, or which diving goggles I’ve already done, or frankly which hints I’m missing. I’ve love for it to at least show me what I’ve completed!

I’d like to see an Orr event completer in the rotation. Since you can pick from numerous dailies it isn’t like people who haven’t been there would be left out.

A few more to add to the list.

Engineer: Tinker – pulls some tools and starts working on a small mechanical mini.
Thief: Count Loot – starts rummaging through a bag of goodies s/he “stole”
Guardian: Fire Eater – puts on a fire eating display
Necromancer: Sleeping Grave – lays down straight, crossing his/her arms while a tombstone appears at his/her head

Bottom line is they sold very well, and many bought multiple sets because they are soulbound. Would accountbound be nice…indeed. Would it be as profitable…absolutely not. Are the complaints causing a mass of disgruntled players who threaten their reputation…no (just some minor chatter really such as this thread).

End result, it makes very little sense to change the item.

tyler.2569:

The two now being connected affects that simple bit of style, taste, and lore for me, and really takes away from what truly made the Necromancer so unique to me. I really just think it should not be connected to Health in such a way. Before, It allowed us to negate huge burst damage, and allowed us to shroud dance, where we could pop in and out of it as often as possible with as little Life Force as possible and use it very affectively. Now, it just seems like a little bit of extra health, that we use at the expense of all out healing and utilities and weapon skills.

I agree. It feels like an interesting game play mechanic was removed from the game. I used to love popping in and out of Death Shroud as well, it was great. It added some depth to the class…. and now it’s gone. And all for a pax tournament. I don’t even play pvp!

Ditto, I’ve mained necro from the beginning and loved DS for damage mitigation. I would pop into it just before the big hit from boss fights, survive it, then continue. I find that now I’m dropping in dungeons MUCH more because they will not only knock me out of DS, but either down me or reduce my life significantly. Meanwhile my mesmer friend activates blur, Guardian has Aegis or any number of other boons, Warrior goes invulnerable, Thief uses one of his dodges because of insane vigor or just stealths, etc.. Meanwhile I’m out of dodges and best I can do is my DS which no longer protects me in such fights!

tetrodoxin.2134:

I think that every class should have a full just-for-fun skillset after switching to town clothing (and no “weapon” equipped). Rangers can play with their pets or make a campfire, warrios can flex their muscles and whatnot, and Mesmers should be able to do some illusionary tricks (including what you said) :0

I found this suggestion in another forum and thought it was such a great idea I’d post in the suggestions. This would be very fun and make towns even more lively if implemented. Frankly I’d even be willing to pay money for this if (and only if) it was account wide so I could play with all my alts. It would probably get me to buy some town cloths as well to use with it.

I’ve been neglecting my mesmer for months now and haven’t kept up with all of the recent updates and want to focus again on my mesmer. My goal is to finish world completion and dungeon master titles as well as do Fractal runs. In the past I’ve run a shatter build, but probably not an optimal one.

Please post your advise on builds and if possible a link to show the build. Thank you.

My old build I was experimenting with was 20/20/0/0/30 I,X,II,X,V,X,XI – GS, Sw/P.

StinVec.3621:

Will “Bank” now be renamed to “Storage Facility” since the key feature that defines it as being a “Bank” is being removed?

Will “Bank Golems” and other instant “Bank Access” items now be renamed to “Storage Facilitator” devices since they no longer have anything to do with an actual “Bank” but will now only offer access to “Storage”?

Will the “Bank Tellers” in Divinity’s Reach no longer be behind barred bank teller windows since they no longer have anything to do with coin?

You cannot remove the only feature that makes a “Bank”, a “Bank”, and still call it a “Bank”.

Personally, I feel “Bank” and “Storage” should have been separate services accessed by interacting with two different NPCs from the start. Who stores a bunch of random stuff at their bank? Since the “Bank” will now only be used to house stuff instead of as a place to keep our money safe, you must now make additional changes accordingly.

Although you may only use banks for money, historically (and today as well) banks deal in more than just currency. In fact, one definition of a bank is “a special storage place.”

No need to be overly dramatic as the name still fits just fine even if you don’t store your in-game currency there as you are still using it to bank your “valuable” items.

I have to voice my annoyance in this as well. I wear Valkyrie and have been very annoyed at the lack of ascended items for those stats. I have roughly 150 laurels and just find myself sitting and waiting for those items to come in a patch. Very disappointing.

Frankly speaking this is one of the more enjoyable mini-games I’ve played yet. Love the “Hunger Games” theme and it is one I was getting into rather well. I am not all that great (best I’ve done is 3rd so far), but I must admit to enjoying it.

We’ll see the same influx of people on champs as we saw when the boss events first started giving a guaranteed rare drop 1 per day per toon. At least on the popular champs anyway. Otherwise there will be little impact in my opinion.
