Guild Wars 2

Sup? What do you all think of my “Necro”?

I will keep this very short and simple:

Tower of Nightmares

Tower of Nightmares was an amazing map, and it demonstrated the highlight of GW2 that any players could group up, and help each other.

The only flaw was that it was introduced before Mega Servers.

How it could work, especially with regards to prevent “zergging”, it adding multipe pathways, and events which require slight coordination.

A player’s “Floor Level” (1, 2, or 3) is saved whenever they reach a checkpoint, and reset each time they reach the end chest. This promotes users to help other players on the first and second floors.

The atmosphere itself of the tower was amazing, and I really miss it. Please bring it back.

Also, PLEEEEEEEEAZZZZ bring it back! KITTEN EYES

Since we’ve found Reaper of Souls, maybe we should look for Destroyer Scythe?

Do we have ANY leads on it? (Maybe we can beg John Smith?)

Since it’s called “Destroyer” Scythe, and not “Primordus” Scythe (like other Destroyer items), perhaps it is referencing GW1?

The GW1 recipe was:
10 Diamonds
10 Onyx
250 Iron
250 Granite

So what would be the GW2 equivalant?
X Onyx Lodestones
X Destroyer Lodestones
250 Orichalcum Ingots
250 ?

Anyone know WHEN it was added to the game? Was it there since the beginning?

Other possibilities used in the recipe:

I do hope they get cheaper. This is way too expensive, even for an event item.

Living World is fine in my opinion. It allows users to “pay”, but dedicated fans to get it for free, while also opening up completely new areas of the world for free as well.

Why pay twice, for an expansion, for a game I already own?

I think what you guys mean by expansion, you don’t mean a “box”-expansion, but a HUUUGE content and feature update released every few months.

I’m a Dry Top commander, and commanding Dry Top means fighting Mordrem. Unfortunately, I have trouble fighting Mordrem solo, and I usually get my kitten kicked.

What is the most optimal class and setup for killing Mordrem?

This discussion should be very relevant to the upcoming living world, where we will be seeing even more Mordrem.

Sand Giant is not done because it is a mechanically boring fight, unrewarding, simply a big dps fest (unlike Marionette which requires coordination and many different gameplay strategies), and most importantly: Sand Giant goes on when too many other events ar happening.

Dry Top during sandstorms is basically an event-train, and Giant conflicts with it.

If there were no Skritt Queen, more people would do Giant.

What was the point of Marionette anyway? Besides a cool boss… Scarlet didn’t use it in the attack at all, whatsoever. What a waste of metal!

What was GW1 after Abaddon? Besides EoTN. it was the War in Kryta, and the Ministry of Purity of Cantha.

I imagine for GW2, it would create new storylines exploring the individual conflicts of the races, with a Living Story-type of content. For example, a story arc dedicated to fighting separatists/renegades, and another arc could deal with more Inquest stuff that reveal lore.

More specific questions:

> Is it an exploit to spam an instance and use it?

> Is it an exploit to use it in open world areas with large clusters of ambient foes?

Is balm an exploit?

You give us a consumable which transforms ambient creatures into Trick or Treat bags, then for the FIRST instance, you throw at us 30 or so ambient creatures.

Essentially, I am making about 60s every minute. Possibly a bit less, but still around that ballpark.

I understand ArenaNet isn’t responsible for the prices players set, but is this intended? The way things are set up kinda points me in that direction, but I’m not sure.

What’s up, ArenaNet? Is this an exploit, or not?

A lot of newer players had trouble with the interface.

Who?

I’m genuinely curious about how ANET gathers their metrics, but the implications as of late have been very questionable with regards to the changes directed at “new players” .

I thought everyone on reddit was demanded a fancy unisex tuxedo? Now people are flip-flopping AGAIN?

geez…

Is the Count outfit available permanently, or just throughout the course of the event?

Seriously, though. How long is it available? It doesn’t say…

Tried this ingame before complaining on forums?

Yeesh, kids these days….

Considering you said it sucked in your other thread, should I assume you’re trolling?

Read the post.

I had it in reverse. I thought they would let us exchange 1g for 9 gems, until I saw the “gems for gold” on top.

Up until now, gold for gems had always been on the left side. Changing it was kinda dumb.

Wait, am I seeing this backwads?

Oh kitten , I thought the left column was the option to buy gems with gold.

Nevermind, this sucks.

See the pic.

- No more accidentally over-charging gold for gems. (for example 9g instead of 8.50g)

- Shows how much you wold get more clearly to the normal user

- Shows how much gold you could get for gems (this was unavailable before)

edit:

Wait, no. I have it in reverse. I thought the left column was exchanging gold for gems…. Actually, this does suck.

Yeesh, kids these days….

Why do Sylvari have Boobs?

So you have something to look at, while you’re talking to them. EHEHEHEHEHEHE

How about ANET makes it more rewarding to actually succeed the events?

The problem with GW2 events at the moment, are that the timers are too long. That is why players fail events.

What is consistent about a pet which can die? It wouldn’t work out even if ANET wanted it to. There for, the Ranger is more of an “all-or-nothing” class, more so than Thief, who can regenerate initiative.

Remember during the Ranger CDI, they stubbornly insisted that Ranger should be the “high consistent damage dealer, without much burst”?

Well take a look at our skillset now:

Signet of the Wild
60 CD
For 8 seconds, you deal 25% more dmg.

Quickening Zephyr
60 CD
Gain quickness for 6 seconds.

Rampage as One
120 CD
Fury, Swiftness, Stability, and Might for 20 seconds

Longbow (weapon)
Low autoattack, very high damage with Rapid Fire every 10 seconds

Greatsword (weapon)
Low autoattack, decent burst every 6 seconds on Maul

Pets (mechanic)
60s cd if both die
Very high autoattack while up. (Goes down quick in Dungeons)

Notice something? Low autoattacks, but super high damage on high cooldowns.

Seems like a bursting class to me. Not that I’m complaining. Things like Signet of Stone allowing the Ranger to perform an all-or-nothing invincible barrage of attacks, is actually kinda cool. I just hope ANET embraces this, because it kinda fills a sweet niche for Ranger, in a very sweet irony.

The Slingshot lost its sfx… I hope this is not intentional? It was my favorite shortbow skin.

Not much else to describe… The Slingshot shortbow skin uses normal arrow sfx now, instead of the sfx it use to use. I’m VERY sad about this

They’re making an entirely new map, people. Calm the heck down, and let them polish it for a bit!

ANET are people too, you know. Don’t rush them, or you’re going to get a rushed update…

Truth: People don’t really want the ascent to madness mini-dungeon, and whether or not you fight the Mad King wont make a difference in your overall enjoyment of the dungeon.

The only reason people played the Mad King dungeon over and over and over again, was for the shot at free gemstore items, black lion keys, and the Halloween weapon skins.

I mean, granted, the fight was a really cool boss fight, the reality I remembered was that player got bored of it really quickly when they repeated it.

I’m not saying to remove the Mad King boss fight permanently. In fact, I think that, like GW1, it should be added to the checklist of Halloween quests. However, don’t get nostalgia cloud your judgment.

Wintersday. It should come back.

There’s a rumor that the level 78 Exotic Backpacks have higher stats than a level 80 Exotic Bakcpack if you apply a t5 Jewel to this.

Is this true? Is it intentional? Can anyone confirm?

Cheaper ascended backpiece if you craft another…

As the proud owner of 5 legendary weapons, I was quite sad to see there is no collection for collecting legendaries.

I understand at the moment it is very sensitive, due to not wanting prices to skyrocket. But if inflation is ever addressed, I would like to see this added, so that people who collect legendaries could be recognized with a title or something, for all their hard work.

So the Hellfire chest+Legs would look like that? Kinda cool, actually.

Anyone gonna test it out? I’m curious to see what the effect would be like.

What’s with the Retal complaints? Flamethrower is a near-constant cone of mid-range, quite decent damage. It’s super hard to evade because its attacks are constant, it applies condis, and it has CC. It needed a weakness, and Retaliation is a decent weakness at that. Solution: Stop spamming autoattack, and just swap to Rifle while the boon is up.

Hey all, I’m having trouble choosing a race for my Mesmer.

I want to play a Mesmer which DOESN’T spin their great sword. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but is that only Asura and Charr?

Which has better armor? Got any nice screens?

Bonus question: Gender?

So why was it dealing such huge damage anyway?

Check out the new armor sets. Search: “Radiant”, “Hellfire”, “Glorious”

Each and every one of them, with the exception of a single heavy sets, clips with Charr. Also, the new costume.

Question: …Why?

It’s already been 2 years. Would it have really been that hard to make a tail flap at this point of the game?

Maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad, if they at least gave us a flaming tail for Hellfire, and have the helmet affect the rest of our neck, like the Zodiac helmets, and like other races.

Instead, It feels like they are just copy&pasting the same template over&over&over&over&over&again.

This isn’t to say ArenaNet’s art team didn’t do a good job on the costume designs… But that’s why it feels like an extra slap in the face. If we wear the awesome armor, we have to deal with clipping issues. It’s not fair! :’(

What would happen if the Arcane Eye met with the Shining Blade?

Bad. In fact, I think the Shining Blade would try to assassinate them.

Play the Personal Story, and you’ll see what I mean. The Arcane Eye is NOT a good organization, and don’t seem very much above the inquest. Come on, they kitten off even the Order of Whispers. Let that put into perspective a bit.

The “Take All” option stops working if one buys more item than can be displayed in the TP box.

For example, if I buy 10,000 Leather Squares, it bugs, and i have to re-open.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Golem Chess come back at one point. The cities need more mini-games.

How about making actual chess tables in the city, which any player could walk up to and play? I mean, Chess-Chess; the real Chess.

To be fair, Golem Chess is kinda annoying as a heart.

I do think it’s a cool minigame, but it really shouldn’t be the first heart.

Should I send a ticket?

What’s with the controversy about Disney? Just because the company execs are a bunch of Dredge-holes, doesn’t mean the hard working writers and film creators at should be held to the same level.

Quite the contrary, the team which makes Disney films are quite amazing. Who could forget “Aladdin” and the “Lion King”? They are classics for a reason. Even their recent film, “Frozen” is pretty impressive.

Just as long as Logan and Rytlock don’t break out into a song… PLEASE, Leah… Save the musicals for Hobo-Tron and chickens…

I do hope to see this fix.. I want loot too!

Because WvW map is green, and comm tags are for WvW.

That said, I am a bit sad by this. Green is one of my fav colors.

So I’m having a weird problem.

Frostgorge Sound Champion Trio…. There’s supposed to be a daily chest, right?

I killed them earlier… no chest.

I killed them a few weeks ago… no chest then either.

“But you can only get the chest once a day!”, well, I never got the chest. EVER!

Am I cursed, or are dailies broken for some players? Either way, I’m greatly disappointed…

So.. is this glitch my fault and there is a way to fix, or do i just wait for ANET?

edit: NVM, new build fixed it. Thx, ANET! (b’_’)b

Trying to sell items… Where did Item Qty go?

And more tail clipping with most of new armor…

So many new backpieces… so many hobofied

Soooo… Was Frost Spirit reverted yet? Or is it still Smiter Boon’d?

Seriously, I look at TP, and I see some items are marked “hot”.

Does this actually mean anything, or is it just a cool word to make hipsters buy things?

Does it mark how much items are selling? Does this mean Utility Primer is really the top selling gemstore production? Really? REALLY? REALLY!? THAT is what the Whales (people who pay a lot in MMOs) are buying!?

I mean, I’m not criticizing, but WHY? Why is that the top selling item?

Or is it really just a cool buzz word to make people buy stuff?
