Guild Wars 2

There was another brilliant suggestion: Travel back in time server destined just for the past events. It’s unfair of Arena Net to leave players with half achievements or missing content for newcomers.

Zlociutki.9165:

Are you going to allow to purchase more tabs on TP?

I have 5 bank spaces already. How did you miss that huge button that allows you to purchase more slots? Simply access the bank the is there. Or, you can visit the “upgrades” section of the Trading Post. It costs 600 gems, the equivalent of 18 gold. Good luck!

Problem with hip shot? We are not the only ones firing like that!

This guys also does

Hello friends, I was daydreaming today and I’d like to share.

I just saw a gameplay of footage of Guns of Icarus thinking how awesome Air Ships battles would be in WvW. Here is how it works:

• A battleship is equipped with 6 cannons (3 on each side) and 4 arrow carts (also 2 o each side).
• Each server has access to a maximum of three battleships simultaneously.
• A blueprint costs a lot (maybe 20-30 gold). Takes time to build but it’s faster if constructed near supply depot.
• A maximum of 15 players on board. People can board if the ship is landed and there is enough space.
• The player who deployed the blueprint will be the pilot
• Other players can man the cannons or repair damaged parts of the ship (given they have enough supplies).
• The ship can land anywhere and players can jump off from safe distance. This way they can land directly beyond enemy walls.
• When two ships fight in close combat the players who don’t man cannons, can also use their skills to kill each other.
• If the ship is destroyed, the players will fall. If there is a safe distance to the ground and the players have enough health, they survive.

Environment improvements

The Floating island is a great observation point and has a magical source of supplies (spawns 10 supplies every 30 minutes). It also serves as a point control, so owning will create the challenge.

I think there will be new strategies in Air to ground and ground to air fights meaning a lot of diversity and epincness.

I dream enough, back to work
Thank you!

+1 This is a splendid idea. Guesting on a time travel server in order to do past achievements.

1) many new players entered because of F&F and they didn’t get the chance
2) many players missed to complete all the challenges and wouldn’t like to leave them incomplete.

I need only 2 to complete. Yet they are gone… but the Mysterious devices are not. This whole thing is stupid and unfair to many players.

+1 Arena Net, please complete the achievements for those who have over a certain percent just like you did on Halloween! I have done 99% and I consider my implication was worth to receive a completion.

Medron Pryde.6850:

In really short, allow us to get the “Avenger of the Dispossessed” title, finish that achievement, and see the story we’ve worked to see if we have done most of the other achievements.

I returned 4 posessions out of 6 and i Still get “Avenger of the Dispossessed”.

Ayrilana.1396:

Seasonal has nothing to do with it. Temporary content is temporary.

I am sure he would expect am official answer. It is clearly you have more time to spare in front of your screen, so you shouldn’t judge people that didn’t finish the achievements and request another chance.

LowestTruth.2635:

I didn’t touch the Living Story until Saturday. I don’t have an 80. It took me three or four hours to do ALL the solo’able content, plus another four at two attempts at the facility. I got all the achievements.

I do not grok your complaint at all. There was a huge window of time and it was all doable on a level 19. Dude, c’mon.

I done 99% of it it good time (weeks ago)… you knew about the time limit. I din’t figure it out. It buggs me that the mysterious devices are still there and the possessions are not.

I can’t believe we are getting left out like this… Apparently we are obliged to read external content in order to understand exact time limits of events.

Besides why are the Mysterious Objects still available for translation? Some of us got kittened and some didn’t… this is wrong on so many levels?

Calcifire.1864:

you had three months to do the lost and found stuff, if you are annoyed that you can’t do it during the last two days, when it was explained weeks in advance that the lost and found stuff was leaving on the 12th, you have only yourself to blame.

(and no, real life is not an excuse, you made a choice, you picked real life)

Quit that “you had 3 months”. I told you I did anything except returning the last objects. I did 95%. Yep, everything was done in time except the last two possessions…

Everything was nerfed. The So Grenades, although 30% damage reduction are still the best way to go.

Lupanic.6502:

FT is not an damage kit. It gives you condition damage and utililty.

So and so. I use it in PVE on my full berserker engineer dealing over 4000 damage. If people should say it is not as powerful as a Warrior, they should know that besides having a greater range, I can move while firing and constantly lead monster to the wall of fire I have created. And that Wall of fire damages for another 500/tick. Napalm every few seconds and I’m good to go.

However to be completely honest. In order to be worthwhile there should be two improvements:

1) the direct damage should be increased by 30%.
2) The range should be increased from 450 to 600

I wish i had 48 fingers as well

+1

4/6 objects, same issue. The items should still be there, there are 2 days left to go until the next story!

this is the worst situation since the beginning of the game.

Redbear.5910:

So in about 2 weeks you didnt do anything in the living story? and last day you just want to make up for lost time?

I did everything except for the last 2 objects (possessions that needed returned). I did the dungeon many times and yes fighting two Mechs was the best dungeon experience sofar. So like I said, I am stuck at 95%. And being stuck this close from finishing it it’s even more frustrating than not doing it at all.

mercury ranique.2170:

You will and it has been announced over and over again.

I deadline wasn’t announced in-game! So the players are supposed to get the info on external sources?

mercury ranique.2170:

You even had a bar in game going down all the time.
What did you think what sdhould happen when the bar hits zero?? nothing??

Yes I had the bar! It only said “molten alliance strength”. The time bar didn’t show a time limit in hours or days. Maybe some of us are less smarter than others and don’t have time to read all the patch releases and other BS. THAT is why games have to be explicit. And this is how Arena net failed many players.

Paul Belz.7351:

You can still get secret contact until the southsun patch if you have already picked up your crypto-translator.

I checked! The mysterious devices are still there. Then why can’t we get the possessions as well? Some of us are sucked at 99%. This is not how it should be…

I don’t know why I keep coming back to these forums. Maybe it’s because I still hope Arena Net gets back to their senses and and buff what is right to buff and nerf what really should be nerfed.

The game feels really weird in contrast to the actual devs. It seems like the original developers are gone, maybe they are from another country. The actual can only tweak a few numbers up and down every month to justify their work and nothing more. No real skill additions, no animation modifiers, no nothing. The engineer skills are very complex and maybe the devs lack the tools to fix certain bugs. This is the only explanation I have.

What you should seek is a leveling guide. Traits can be adapted and only your own experience will reveal the play style that suits you well.

Respect the tradition. 1 major nerf/month.

Engineer Elite Skills:

1) Remote control vehicle. Lunch and control a small tracked steam tank that has 5 abilities:

1: Shock – lunch a static discharge bold that bounces through enemies. 1000 range.
2: Steam – release hot steam damaging and blinding nearby enemies.
3: Glue – Spill glue behind, the enemies passing through will be slowed
4: Boost – Speed the tank knocking down the first enemy it hits.
5: Detonate – Self destructs the tank Dazing, burning and bleeding enemies in 450 range.

I am also stuck to finding 2 more objects. We got punked…

Crossbow skin or Shotgun for rifle ! My Engineer wants it.

I don’t want to go in dungeons with 4 Russians which will never talk to me because I don’t speak it. If you really want to separate from the rest of the world who speaks the international language called English, fine! But only if you get your own separated Russian server.

I remember not bringing the 2 last possessions to the refugees thus having an achievement stuck at 95% forever. I still hope Arena Net will continue this wonderful story for 2 main reasons: 1) For those who couldn’t / forgot to finish in time. 2) For the newcomers who should also experience Flame & Frost.

It wasn’t mentioned in-game. The story could be continued in the future. I still hope I won’t have an achievement stuck at 95% forever…

So I did everything except the last 2 objects. Does this mean I will never be able to finish Flame and Frost? Do you realize how ridiculous this is? There are hundred of people in my shoes right now because they didn’t see a deadline. And some of them are newcomers that didn’t have the time to finish the living story in time. I suggest 2 things:

1) Either announce to continue of the Flame and Frost story chapters in the future so people can still finish their incomplete achievements.

2) Don’t close it. Reduce the number of NPC’s regarding the F&F from the map if it is too crowded and leave the the content for those who didn’t finish it.

Wouldn’t it be better to teleport to a waypoint (with the necessary cost of course) without making a useless load of the previous map you played on?

It would be a lot better to choose the starting point after character select screen.

For example: you left your character in Lions Arch last time and you played and now you want to go to COF… you have to endure two loading screens in order to get to your desired location.

Anyway there is a thread for every class including the Elementalist.

All dungeons clothes are dresses… Charr medium armor look stupid.

“I’m the king of the nerfs” – Titanic

“After all, tomorrow is another nerf!” – Gone with the wind

Seras.5702:

Anyone else have any critique? I really thought a FT build without elixirs would garner some discussion.

I don’t roll a condition damage build so I cannot use the EG well (besides healing).

Turkashi.4502:

I’m quit dissapointed due it’s not learned. But it will waste 1 more slot of my bag :’(

Buy an extra character slot and 1 invisible bag. Its worth it.

iLLuminati.9437:

They are the same thing other than the pattern on it which is hardly eligible for being charged twice the ????

I’m not complaining. Dyes also have different prices don’t they? Some people pay extra just to look different from the others. If you can’t afford it, expose yourself in the 200 Gems vest of mediocrity!

dagrdagaz.4913:

That for $10 u get 1 soulbound pick is a rip-off

Try WOW and pay 15$/month for nothing)

If Anet wants to reduce 75% of map messages they should introduce a freaking LFG tool ingame !!!!

Fractal: The siege Ebonhawke

During the Ascalonian Wars, the Stronghold of Ebonhawke was the humans last stand surviving countless attacks from the Charr Iron Legion and their huge array of War machines. The iron juggernauts still lie around the map and we rarely seen them put to work (only in a few missions).

• Motocycle Gunner
• Quads
• Crawlers (I didn’t find an image yet, they are means of transportation used by the Charr.)

This will make a great fractal. There already is an Ascalon destruction siding the Crarr but now we can stand against them. It would be amazing to against these awesome designed weapons in their attempt to breech the stronghold. Imagine a glorious confrontation against many waves of steel incoming.

I totally subscribe to the naval warfare and zeppelin battles. Imagine two ships closing in on each other while players use cannons and all their ranged attacks to wreak havoc.

And Zeppelins. This is doable. In Orr you see hundreds of zeppelins fighting in the skies.

HuntsForge.3260:

Maaan that would be amazing! We already have evil bunnies kicking you around when u carry the food.

Gardening should be intuitive:

The player can either plant a seed or one of his collected herbs on a certain soil type. Soil bags and seeds can be purchased from a Gardner Merchant. The rarity of the plant is direct proportionate to the time, cost and the care it needs. Once a plant is fully Grown, the player has two choices: pick it up or collect the plant’s seeds.

Collecting 1 seed: 90% chance
Collecting 2 seeds: 40% chance
Collecting 3 seeds: 20% chance

notes:
- Planting a mature herb already collected from the world spares 80% of the players time.
- Collecting seeds result in the plant destruction. A player can harvest 1-3 seeds depending on his luck
- The soils are very important for they will determine the herb growth speed and also can affect the seeds developing rate. They can be bought from merchants or found in lands across Tyria:

Soil Types:

Krytan Pastures – Can grow Tire 1 vegetables (Mushroom, Carrot, Onion, etc)
Maguuma Clay Tire 2 (Oregano, Strawberry, beet, turnip, etc)
Ascalonian Dirt Tire 3 (Cabbage, Gape, Chili Pepper, Zucchini, etc)
Shiverpeak Glacier Tire 4 (Blackberry, Cauliflower, Dill, Mint, Coriander, etc)
Sand of Sorrows Tire 5 (Artichoke, Cayenne, Raspberry, Vanilla, Clove, etc )
Ancient Orrian Slit Tire 6 vegetables (Truffle, Lotus, Omnomberry, Saffron, etc)

In order to become a Gardner the player needs the tools: Hoe, Rake, Shovel. To get the tools there are a series of quests around the world one needs to complete.

The concept and items already exists:

Same as Engi. We have enough skills to compensate the lack of weapon swapping.

Great idea!

SilverWF.4789:

He have only TWO tools to be useful at the WvW: Greande kit and FT. Both are nerfed very hardly faaaar ago. It was nerfed even when it never was IMBA weapon – just nerfed, coz ANET are dilettantes.

Ft sucks…? + Only 2 builds? No offence but I am starting to question your experience in this class.

I only told you how it is, but it seems you keep getting stuck in a noobish loop. You are fighting windmills and not enjoying your time and money’s worth. Everything you complain about works perfectly for other players, so the only problem here problem is you.

Dear SilverWF,

Listen man I know what you are going trough. I am playing an engineer for 3 mounts now and have tried hundreds of build seeking my ultimate engineer. I have tried many only-turret builds and sadly I had to accept there is no such thing as a dedicated engineer. Then I discovered the Flamethrower. Wow, a short range but a decent AOE weapon. However I got to level 80 and the damage was laughable compared to other classes. So i tried the HGH build (Might stacking + all elixirs possible) and still nothing. I even sold my soul to the devil and got from COF vendor the Berserker Set and I applied Ruby Orbs (power + Precision + Toughness). Incredible, I was squishy as hell and my damage couldn’t pass 4000… ONLY 4000 !!! When a kittening warrior passed 30.000… Oooh boy… the disappointment… the curses that followed.

Then I said ok **** YOU engineer and I leveled a Warrior to 80. Had the damage but It wasn’t fun… I was missing my gadgets and mobility. Using a sword all day long was boring as hell and I decided to return to my Engi and try again.

What your colleagues are trying to tell you in the posts above is that Arena Net did not designed the Kits as stand alone weapons, and vice-versa. The engineer is the most versatile class in-game but also the most situational. Yes, the Engineer design forces the player to make a combination of weapons and skills. I admit that sometimes it feels like 10 fingers are not enough to operate something this complex.

Your suggestions are very decent but I doubt they will happen very soon since we can use the pistol for 1200 range and the switch to Flamethrower when we get close to the enemy (and push him back and again release the pistol skills, etc).

The same goes for bombs, grenades and any other Kit. The developers have their share of fault – the engineer thread is full of documented bugs with videos as proof and still nobody bothers to take action. In the meantime we have to make the most of what we have: a Weapon set, Healing Skill, a Kit, a Gadget and an Ultimate. Combining these will result in a dynamic and competitive gameplay.

PS: if you still use the Flamethrower as your only weapon, get P/P or P/S for the sigils!! Yes, the weapons sigils now apply to our kits as well. Go for a Sigil of fire (extra napalm every few seconds) and sigil of strength (overall higher damage).

Best of luck!
