Guild Wars 2

I like it.

I also enjoyed the references to Bling’s “annoying sound”.

The warrior is actually the perfect class for PvE in Gw2, with a great balance between support and offense. Followed close by are Guardian and Mesmer, which both lean more towards support than offense.

I gotta say kudos to Izzy and the balance team. Those 3 classes are pretty happy.

GW1 had better hammer skins, such as Mursaat Hammer:

Then there is Tetsubo Hammer:

And the Undead Maul:

Seriously. They are MUCH cooler!

I’m also going for Predator.

A common set for Warriors are Greatsword+Rifle, so that makes Rifle a very commonly used weapon for you. Enjoy!

Izzy is doing pve live stream how warrior should be.

You gotta admit, the Shield of Engineer is one of the most darn well designed weapons in the entire game!

So much so, it’s actually worth taking one of the WORST main-hand weapons in the game (Pistol) just so that we could use the Shield offhand!

In one single off-hand weapon, we get:
- Reflection
- Crowd Control push-back
- Blast finisher
- Projectile block
- 2s Stun of foes in a line (as the shield hits twice)

Too bad the recharges are kinda high. Otherwise, this is one of the most freaking amazing off-hand weapons in the entire game!

Kudos, ANET! (Now if only you could make the rest of the Engineer as awesome as his shield…)

So far I feel ANET has handled every Sylvari villain (Nightmare Court, etc…) pretty darn well!

Canach actually sounds like an interesting villain, and his flaming gauntlets as a Sylvari makes his design quite ironic and sinister.

A lot of people don’t put logic into their builds though, or even consider their teammates. They simply use shouts because it’s the most direct buff to themselves.

It’s a lot like Endure Pain Warrior/Monks in GW1 who had no logic to their builds.

The male voice is amazing.

However, male sylvari armor suffer from horrible stretching issues around the waist, making them almost unplayable if you care about look.

I think what would be cool in the Precursor Scavenger Hunt is if we had to complete some of the more obscure events in the game, such as clearing the Inquest Base in Malchor’s Leap.

Ok, so all these are browser things like Dragon Timer?

Players are being forced to abuse the North Lyssa Union WP because all other events like Cursed Shore’s Tunnel Farm suffer from scaling bugs.

Please fix this so farmers can go back to faring without potentially exploiting!

Hey, I just wanted to get confirmation whether or not the Lyssa north WP farm is an exploit we can be banned over?

Cursed Shore events are currently bugged, so it’s very difficult to farm Risen besides from the Lyssa North WP.

Does the Lyssa North WP farm have such an impact we can be banned for it? Could we please get confirmation? Thanks!

Very cool. I really like the idea of a gory Mace.

Might need to change the blood color it order to evade ESRB, but otherwise it sounds awesome!

For the Pistol, I was thinking a Silenced pistol:

Virginity or Karka?

@Unfortunately.5940: We could already exchange weapons for badges. Except they attached a completely unnecessary gold cost to it which makes it cost inefficient and redundant…

In other words, it would be like an ingame dragon timer?

Hello Colin and the rest. Using the new WvW-goals achievements, will we be able to earn more than one Laurel a day?

And to clarify, this update gives us the decision to pay the current laurel price for Ascended Gear, or to pay with Badges for a reduced laurel price?

I suggest others post screens too!

In other words, ANET is releasing a toolkit which lets people make mods? And this is safe?

Cool, a new forum… So… What the heck is API, and how can it improve my GW2 experience!?

What are you guys NOT farming?

Stop wasting time with the instigator karma train. Start killing mobs on the island.

Farming for about 1 hour, I could get between 3 to 5 box drops in Southsun Cove.

I gotta admit, while I’m still not a fan of RNG, it’s not so bad this time. They drop at a decent rate that a dedicated player will have a high chance of getting a ticket before the event ends.

I myself haven’t obtained a ticket yet, but so far I’ve opened an estimated 30 of them. But the point is that ANET are not punishing dedicated players, and giving them an equal chance.

Anyone know when the event ends? I’m kinda optimistic this time.

I’m a little worried they will mess this one up. I’m worried it will have nothing to do with Dragon Festival whatsoever.

Instead, I kinda like the idea of a controversial festival celebrated by Canthans about the “Celestial Dragon”.

Since dragons are currently a symbol of hate in Tyria, they could have filled Divinity’s Reach with protestors and bandits trying to sabotage the festival.

I kinda like the idea that there are “good” dragons most people do not trust.

I have a hard time believing you got only one clover. If you failed Mystic Forge that many times, you must have gotten t6 mats to cover expenses.

Please fix this, ArenaNet. Thank you!

AVOID the heavy classes!

They suffer from horrible stretching issues on the skirt. As do Medium, though it’s less noticeable on medium because everything is a trenchcoat anyways.

Cursed Shore was fine before. The question is WHY did they mess it up? Unless they make rewards worth the effort, what’s the point of such difficulty, when we could just whack at a dragon pinata?

In a game about visual-progression rather than stat-progression, this is as important an issue as any other gamebreaking bug.

Make sure to +1 the posts demanding a fix! It will make this thread a hot topic!

And feel free to post your screenshots as well, to bring attention to this issue how bad it is. I’ll do my part, showing the ONE armor that has to work: Cultural armor!

Garcia Leon. I feel like a disgrace! :’(

Mesmers seem to use a combination of magic (illusions) with technology and forgery though (swords, pistols, etc…) so maybe it could be a focus on magi-tech?

Glind Chaosblade

We have a 1h sword. Too bad it’s broken!

It’s probably temporary. Knowing ANET, this is an experiment with magic find and droprates in the future.

Meteorlogicus DOES have effects!

I can tell many posters in this thread haven’t yet seen it ingame, as it has a blue aura and trail.

It clips on all Male greatswords. (But not on human!)

Right now I’m at a crossroad whether to use laurels for t6 bags (towards my legendary), or to gear an alt.

I already have a main Zerker-War with a Gold Find utility infusion. So is it worth getting a second utility-amulet for my Guardian? (If so, what infusion do you recommend?)

Well ask yourself: Even if it’s ascended, do you REALLY want PVT gear?

I kinda liked the idea of Braham’s girlfriend being some evil, manipulative overlord. Having a villain closer to us (and considering Braham was such a well written character) would have made it very interesting and personal.

Anyone else here utterly miss the Super Adventure Box?

I wonder how long till it’s back? :’(

How disappointing… Had a good opportunity for an amazing plot twist if she was behind it.

Anyone on SoS, Blackgate, or Jade Quarry wanna cap?

If I increase my healing power, and I use healing symbols or dodge heal, will it affect allies?

As far as I’m aware, custom soundtracks are kinda screwy at the moment because they don’t always play right, or don’t play a variety.

Kicking anyone for weapons is pretty stupid, considering you could always switch out of combat.

Now, if you you were doing a place requiring range, I could understand.

In other words, CptAurellian, it would be better to just go full zerker? Or is there a point where a LITTLE bit of healing power is good?

Offtopic: I wish we had Power+Precision+Healing gear. Seriously.

Well, looks like armor scale prices went down. I should have kept my kitten mouth shut. kitten.

UnrepentantProcrastinator.7420:

Every subscription based MMO was overcharging.

This.

Also, RNG Chests and gemstore. Look at TF2 and Mann Co.

That said, GW2 needs more hats we can use in PvE.

Perhaps it’s time we had a main thread for our skirt problems? Please, let’s keep this thread at the top of the forums until devs notice… Sylvari are unplayable in a game about visual progression!

We also have a problem with the flower backpiece humans do not. Compare screens with the human using the SAME sword and heavy armor-type, and you will realize the Sylvari skeleton as a whole is a mess!

Why make a Sylvari backpiece which clips SPECIFICALLY on Sylvari?

Any open? ’murica servers.

Is it really wise to use P/V/T? Granted it helps you stay alive, but where is the damage? What exactly is the point if you are able to mitigate dmg using dodge and skills?
