Guild Wars 2

Chev.1783:

How would that hurt you?

It would without a doubt completely void the game world of players. Yeah sure, Anet would most certainly make bank off of it, but it’s obvious you have no idea how this would effect the game.

You can’t just showcase something like that and expect only a few people to go for it. Everyone will get it, and every zone besides WvW and Orr will be emptier then it already is. Yeah, that’s for sure healthy for the game in the long run.

If you want to play an alt, play it.

Olba.5376:

Manufacturing a Gift of Battle for a Legendary?

Why should a legendary be attainable to someone who_refuses to fight for their server?

blaze.4378:

BoH is easy to get if you like running around in WvW or doing the JPs. I don’t… I am not the casual player who has 1 char and is working on getting their first map completion either…

Tell me. Why do you need BoH’s anyways?

Lol no. /15char

I would prefer to have the downed state removed completely.

This has been asked about many times, and it always seems to be about thieves. No one complains about the other stomps for some reason. In my opinion it’s fine as it is, and as an avid WvW player I have been downed many times by invisible thieves. Deal with it.

Grimno.6172:

then what if the moment an ally starts to revive a player, it stops anyone attempting to use a Finisher on them.

No, that would be terrible.

Zsymon.8457:

Aridia.3042:

Jordo.5913:

kokiman.2364:

rox’ quiver, rox’ bow, braham’s mace, braham’s shield

anyway….back on topic…this seems likely for me…

Rox’s Bow is a shortbow yes?

No. He used Barrage when i played. So it’s a longbow.

No, I just checked, it is a short bow.

If it were a long bow I would buy it right away.

Do you by any chance main a necro?

Sounds like a cool idea, although it might be better to move to a live format if you gather a decent number of viewers.

I would definitely want commentary, whether its from just you, a partner or 5 people in your group. It just makes it feel like I’m much more involved. Also, please at least try to be enthusiastic and funny. Too many streamers talk in monotone voices and it become kind of a bore to watch. Show some enthusiasm, be informative and know your stuff, and make the viewer interested in what you are doing.

Good luck!

Looks pretty fixed to me.

I agree. I’d also like a way to see which zone your party members are in. Similar to the number that appears beside the upgrades tab.

KeyLimPi.9031:

Eh here I thought you went with the obvious direction but you chose, as Randulf said, a desperate measure to get log ins.

I wouldn’t be against being able to purchase a lotto ticket for 50silver, one per day, and then each day there’s a drawing for the ticket number. Every 50 silver is added to the pot, 1 dungeon run is over 50 silver, it’d be easily accessible to everyone and still a solid addition. Limit the ticket, as I said, to 1 per day so even newbies have the same chance to profit, account bound.

That is way too much money to give away to one single person. What happens if 50,000 people buy tickets? would that one person get 25,000g?

Either it would have to be spread out among a whole bunch (hundreds) of people or it would have to be that that one person gets like a 1% payout from the pot (Which I think would be an extremely effective gold sink, which is never a bad idea.)

Siliconmana.3816:

When selling items on Trading Post, please consider making
a] A ‘confirm sale’ dialogue for default selection of: ‘Meet highest bidder’
b] Change default selection to: ‘Match lowest seller’ instead of ‘Meet highest bidder’.
c] An option to ‘Repurchase item’
Perhaps there is some way already, if so l’d love to know. While in areas where one is likely to be attacked by respawns it can happen easily enough. I just accidentally sold another gold item this way for half the listing price….. -.-

Not a bad suggestion except for the repurchase item idea. There is no way that would work. You’re not selling the item to the Trading Post, you’re selling it to actual people.

Sure it would have been nice, but IMO they were saving themselves a lot of trouble and public outcry when in the future, had they implemented this, they had to balance overpowered combinations. Right now they have a definite number of combinations that one can have, and have already balanced combat around those combinations.

Could you imagine spending a whole bunch of money on a certain combination, then Anet nerfs it because it was doing way too much damage? The outcry here would be massive.

Nick.6972:

The least real PvE update was Fractals.

Do you get mad when your friends tell you of a birthday party they went to when they were 5 that you didn’t go to because you weren’t their friend at the time?

Content, temporary or not, is content. Either enjoy it and play it while it’s there or don’t, but don’t try and say it wasn’t there.

Nick.6972:

Don’t. I’ve been waiting for a new content more than 6 months now.

Lolwat! You should probably file a ticket with support telling them that the numerous content updates and patchesthat have come out since launch haven’t been downloading to your computer.

Honestly, it might not have been content you like, but saying that there has been no new content is just ridiculous and makes any statement you say lose all credibility.

First off, welcome to the game!

As far as equips go, just try and keep up with your level if possible, but during the lower zones it’s not going to hurt too much.

When you start getting in to the 60 – 80 range, have an idea of what kind of spec you want to go for and what you think will work well for what play style you want to play, e.g. WvW, Dungeons etc. I am not too familiar with rangers but you’ll get the idea as you play whether you want damage, defense or supportish traits.

Keep in mind that there’s a whole subforum dedicated to each class so you can look there for anything and everything you need.

Good luck and have fun!

An excellent gold sink working as intended.

Disagree, it’s a good gold sink and I welcome any gold sinks that will help keep this game going.

Im Mudbone.1437:

IRONIC, ANET don’t want us to farm yet they graciously dangle treats in front of us that forces many to farm for whatever is needed to obtain these treats because they are the ones unable to pull out a credit card or don’t have the funds.

I’m really tired of this. You guys really have to stop using this argument out of context. The actual truth is Anet didn’t want us farming for stats, they said nothing about farming for optional, cosmetic items.

Content in MMO’s will ALWAYS be a grind to people, Always. There is no other way around it and it’s healthy for games in the long run.

TYTan.5246:

That is the problem, now i need to farm days and days to get 1, and this isnt fun.
and they are few on the TP….

Sounds to me like you don’t actually want it.

All you beta friends should remember the killer bunny!

It’s been that long already? After over 900 hours, I still have a ton of stuff to do!

Uh, repeating the title doesn’t make what the thread is about any clearer.

Got 10 chests to test the waters, got nothing at all of value so I won’t be buying any more.

Please tone Bradain the NPC down, he says this every 5 seconds in a very loud voice even when I’m far away from him.

I can’t wait to see people drop this whenever they see me, Only to find out the only Stealth I have is my heal.

Phoenix.7845:

GunshyGamer.2076:

LightBringer.8764:

That is about $400 on a gold site.

I really hope you mean gem to gold conversion or you may be finding yourself at the bad end of a banhammer soon for admitting that you use gold sites. :/

No, he didn’t. Also he didn’t admitt to anything, checking gold prices isn’t illegal and he didn’t say anything about buying.

He’s advertising gold seller prices. He might not be buying, but he’s specifically saying to the forums “this is how much a legendary will cost if you go to a gold seller”. I’m pretty sure that’s a bannable offense, and if not, it should be.

Yes please. /15char

stale.9785:

Your assuming they test the updates they make. Given the quality of some of the most recent ones, that’s one long shot.

You obviously know nothing of game design. The updates have been extremely smooth in comparison to other games.

As for public test servers, I do not support them at all for this game. There is simply way too many ways to take advantage of a test server. If they got rid of the trading post completely, only then would a test server be at all viable. Of course, if they do that, there will be much more to worry about then updates.

I don’t understand, how do you propose to fix this problem? It’s a player problem if they choose to dodge, not Anet’s problem.

Are you suggesting they put up invisible barriers so that you can’t fall off on jumping puzzles?

I display Golden. It wasn’t that I worked super hard for it or anything, I got lucky on the TP and made about 1/2 of the 200g in one good investment, but it shows me that it’s good to take risks.

Before that I used Master Carver because I figured it worked well with a D/D thief and I enjoyed looking for all of those pumpkins

eisberg.2379:

Originally it was supposed to be account bound, but that changed when Nexus bought 15% of the company and got one of their own people to take over the Gem shop development.

You don’t even know the name of the company you’re hating on, how can we take anything you say seriously? Not to mention that Account bound dyes were “announced” 2 years before launch. Things change in that amount of time and Anet saw fit to make them bound to your character. Stop throwing around baseless “facts” that don’t contribute anything to the conversation.

Dyes are fine. They could be 100x worse then they are now, it could be like other games where dyes are a one shot deal.

Imagine collecting 6 abyss dyes just to dye your armor once on one character.

I found it rather easy. Just use stability for the windy station or memorize the patterns that the wind blows.

Theftwind.8976:

Let us assume that you were already in a fractal dungeon when this popped up, even close to the final boss, within the next hour or two suggests I would have time to complete it. 10 minutes later, goodbye.

If you’re already in a dungeon, you get two hours to complete the dungeon. Your point is irrelevant.

CreativeAnarchy.6324:

Help out those with multiple characters.

And trivialize laurel rewards for people with one character. I enjoyed my months working towards the endless cat tonic. I didn’t see it as a chore at all.

Drazhar.3801:

They should just add a gem store item that unbinds items. They make money, we get to reuse/sell our old gear.

And have the market flooded with items, destroying many many markets and effectively ruining the economy?

Lol yeah, they’ll get right on that I’m sure.

CreativeAnarchy.6324:

I would like a weekly in addition to the daily and monthly.

So an extra 28 laurels (7 per week), in addition to the 10 for monthly, plus the 30ish dailys?

You crazy.

Duke Blackrose.4981:

3) Do your class’s current weapon options satisfy you? Regardless of answer, a new poll question comes up – if more were to be added, what would you most like to see?

6) Is this zone/dungeon/boss event sufficiently rewarding? (Only asked to level 80 characters who have spent a sufficient number of hours playing there).

8) How do you feel about the pricing of new gem store items?

I feel that questions like these should never be asked to the general player base.

EVERYONE wants more. It’s a simple fact of life. For the first question, there would be thousands of useless “gibe me machinegun plox” answers. for the second, Everyone will say no because they want more loot, and the third, most people will say it’s too high not because it is, but because everyone wants more for less.

These questions worked during beta because they were simple. Did you enjoy this/did you enjoy that type of questions are okay. Questions like the above are not okay in my opinion.

Also, who is going to go through the millions of poll answers?

Tigirius, I’m not bashing you or anything, but the amount of times you bring up your loot issues is really becoming ridiculous. You say it in almost every post you write and it’s just got to the point that I don’t believe you. RNG is RNG, and whether you believe it or not, you aren’t being targeted by the dev’s to have no drops. I can’t see that happening. You have the exact same loot tables as the rest of us and I think you’re blowing it way out of proportion on the forums, looking for confirmation bias from other people who like to complain that they can’t make bank in game.

This is all my opinion, and I won’t post again in this thread.

I’ve looted a greatsword from a firefly once. Proof of a firefly uprising coming soon?

Love the ideas, and as a collector of backpacks and tonics, I would be very happy with these!

Very nice!

Some great tips for new thieves. I like the way it is laid out.

One suggestion for you, and this is just me nitpicking, It would be nice if under your tips and tricks section, there were categories with a headline. Something like:

Stealth
– Entering stealth
blah blah blah
– Perma Stealth
blah blah blah

Stomp Tips
– Blind Stomp
blah blah blah
– Shadowstep Stomp
blah blah blah

I feel like this will make it much more organized.

Anyways, great work so far, I’m looking forward to that builds page!

Cherrylin.5869:

Thanks! I’m pretty far with FaF now, I’d say, (at very least in the achievements I only need to do Lost and Found and Secret Contact now, (save for the Alliance Breaker and Rallying Flame ones..))
I can’t really find those dirt/snow spots though, some people said they’re still there. Hmm.. :s

Pretty confused about that ‘Super Adventure Box’ thing.. What was that all about?

I recommend running around holding ctrl. It will show the text above the objects you need to find. Also, Dulfy posted some very nice guides on how to find them, you can follow them if that’s your kind of thing.

http://dulfy.net/2013/03/26/gw2-dead-drops-secret-contact-living-story-achievement-guide/

http://dulfy.net/2013/02/26/gw2-lost-and-found-living-story-event-and-achievement-guide/

I recommend it since there is only a few days left. And one more thing, If you’re not finding the items on the map and you’re sure you’re looking in the right place, it may be bugged. In that case, guest to another server and try looking there. I had to do this for the last 3 lost and found items in the Shiverpeaks.

Happy hunting

GuildWarsPlayer.5608:

Well the answer to this question is obvious. Gotta love these guys who attempt to start arguments on internet forums.

Thanks for the reply, it made me chuckle.

I’m not trying to start an argument, I’m just wondering where you’re getting your ideas from if you haven’t played the class?

IMO that would be overpowered. I have over 800 hours on my thief so I’m not new to the class, and steal is fine as it is. I like the simplicity of the way it is now and implementing changes as you suggested would mean that the actual skill would have to be nerfed to compensate, which is something I don’t want to see.

GuildWarsPlayer.5608:

Now I’ve never played Elementalist so I’m simply going by observation and what other Elementalist players have spoken about.

So wait, you’re suggesting major class changes to a class you’ve never even tried playing?

I had to double check to make sure I wasn’t in the thief forum.

Spent over 250$ on keys since fused weapons have been in the game. Not one ticket.

2 endless mystery tonics. Not one ticket.

Fused tickets are a myth. At least in my case they are.

WvW and patch updates. That is why I continue to play this game after 800hrs and getting my character looking exactly how I want it to look. The occasional PvE adventure with my friends also does wonders.

stale.9785:

When it takes away from other people playing the game as intended, it should be discouraged, heartily.

I won’t refute your claim, but I have not personally witnessed anything being taken away from people. Usually these things are away from general WvW activities and to be honest, 10 people having a bit of fun and dueling shouldn’t affect queue times at all. That blame should fall to the 20 or so people I see afk every single time I port back to a keep before it gets put on people actively playing the game.

As for people walking in on the dueling and thinking its a battle, people on their side do tend to inform them of what’s going on, but if they choose to attack, that’s fair game in my opinion. It is a PvP zone after all.

Honestly, anyone who would take the time to switch the pick between characters might as well just use that time to buy some picks at the vendor and not worry about the infinite pick. IMO this was meant for people who would prefer to equip it once on a character and never have to worry about buying new picks.

Wow, this thread went way out there.

RuneCrimson, as far as I have experienced and as far as the dev’s have told us, loot stealing is not possible in this game. It is not a simple matter of a glitch in the code where loot gets given to another player by accident. That loot spawns on the enemies body for you and you only.

For loot stealing to work, a dev would have to deliberately write the code so that each and every player that kills that enemy shares that one loot source. Whether you believe this is the case or not is up to you, but I choose to believe the people who actually made the game and wrote the code. I mean, if this is happening to you, it’s not a case of “it’s fine, every other MMO does it”, it’s a serious problem with the game that should be brought to the attention of the dev’s.
