Guild Wars 2

See, this is why no one takes you seriously StinVec. Not having a search feature by armor weight does NOT make the Trading Post broken, buggy or clunky – millions of transactions are conducted daily smoothly.

I went to the Greyhoof Camp waypoint last night.

Seraph: Help! We need your help!
Me: Yes, I can see that! There’s a huge vine grappling with the Asuran waypoint here!
Seraph: What? No! There are centaurs making trouble, we need you to deal with them!

Seraph never could see the forest for the centuars.

Fastest content release in the industry

Prophet.6257:

Although total sales are not necessarily indicative to active players the numbers are still looking pretty good.

7.3 million. Not bad at all.

Does this makes GW2 the 2nd biggest western MMO?

http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/07/10/guild-wars-2-selling-well-in-china/

GW2 is now the 2nd highest best selling MMORPG of all time.

Grats ArenaNet!

As an elementalist you should be using all your attunements – even when you build for support. You’ve got so much AoE that you should be getting just as much (if not more) than other players on the battlefield.

Guilds are tied to the server they were created on. You can only access a guildbank and upgrades on your homeworld, you cannot guest to your old world to get access.

Transfer costs are set by world population levels and include all your characters.

Did you accidentally change the client language?

Indeed, more players now then ever. Tons of changes, you can see the splash pages here:

One thing you can do is the /sleep emote to hide your character from view for screenshots. Certain tonics and toys hide your character very well also.

There was a discussion on the PvP forum recently about this:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Suggestion-Favorite-builds-button/first#post4094307

From Evan Lesh’s responses, it looks like there are many factors to consider and they want to launch it with the best possible choices. Take a read through, lots of good feedback and discussion between the dev and the community on what we want.

I like Silky Sand about 100x better than Barbs, Spikes, Needles and Porous Bones that’s for sure.

Can confirm that lag issues in Dry Top started this morning. Specifically ability lag between pressing the button and the action being performed – can take 5 seconds or longer.

Edit: It’s not just combat, gathering or picking up loot or even selecting a different tab on a vendor takes a really long time.

Do they even have a dungeon team anymore? I thought I read it was disbanded.

You’re going to need to back that up with a quote or a link since they’ve pumped out significantly more dungeons in the last 2 years than a game like WoW.

The original dungeon team has disbanded, but that doesn’t mean that a dungeon team doesn’t exist. All it means is that the team that worked on the original dungeons is no longer on dungeons.

I do believe one of the main guys from that team isn’t with Anet anymore though.

The quality of the post-launch dungeons indicates that the new dungeon team has a much better direction and understanding of how to make dungeons fun, challenging and interesting.

It’s extremely duplicitous to say that “the dungeon team was disbanded” without telling the full story that there is a new dungeon team putting out better content than the original one. The term for that is “half-truths” which I would say is bordering on telling lies.

I like Dabnia! That whole line about loving a man that was too good for her – I’m wildly curious about her story!

Behellagh.1468:

Why in the name of the 6 Gods did you save them? There isn’t a booster for them. Luck is account wide. Why? Was whatever you were doing so time critical that you couldn’t click em when you got em?

That is still 2000 clicks.

One could more importantly wonder why do we have these luck essence items in the first place? Why not simply increase luck percent like karma or experience does?

Don’t know but I’ve set aside a couple stacks on the off chance they’ll be used in precursor crafting.

Did you submit a bug report or a ticket? Bug reports are only to alert the devs that a bug exists, for direct support on your account you need to submit a ticket. Here’s the info for the WvW rewards:

ColinJohanson.2394:

Extra fun fact: the population of WvW who plays any given week regularly is larger than the entire population of all of Gw1 the game any given week for a large chunk of the games lifespan. Just want to put things in perspective, Gw1 was amazing, but there is a reason we made Gw2.

That is some information. But it’s soft numbers from 10 months ago about a game that is 22 months old. So it’s from back when the game was half as old and tells nothing about the current state of popularity.

Not that I don’t think the game is popular, just that we don’t have current numbers to say.

Well we do have financial statements where GW1 doesn’t even break out of the “Other Games” category which is a fraction of GW2’s revenue. That’s a pretty good indicator right there.

And GW2’s revenues are consistent with what they were 10 months ago.

Colin Johanson stated that GW2 has more players in WvW alone in any given week than GW1 had in the entire game.

They don’t delete forums, when they close a forum they move it to the Archive section of the forums.

Let me try again.

CC Danicia.1394:

The Suggestions sub-forum has been archived and is read-only. We’re directing players to leave feedback & suggestions in the sub-forum which best fits their topic. As example, if you have a sPvP suggestion, we ask that you post in the sPvP sub-forum. If you have a crafting suggestion, we ask that you post it in the Crafting sub-forum. This ensures that the Developers on these topics will see it. For all topics which do not have a specific sub-forum, you can post in the Guild Wars 2 Discussion forum, which all our Developers visit.

The Suggestion forum was archived so that players can put suggestions in the forum related to their suggestion making it easier for the developers to get feedback (i.e., suggestions for dungeons should go in the Dungeon forum, suggestions for WvW should go in the WvW forum, suggestions for profession balance should go in the Profession Balance forum, etc.).

This way a dev working on WvW for example doesn’t have to read through tons of unrelated suggestions trying to find ones specific to WvW.

Hobbs.9260:

I highly doubt they started working on these maps as late as the start of season 1, some of these maps have probably been worked on, even at the very least on and off since launch.

this season was compared to by a dev as an expansion level season, there is no way only 2 maps could be even close to considered as expansion level.

Actually, these maps were almost done before launch

ShiningSquirrel.3751:

Well over $200 for the collector’s edition just as a start, and so much in gem purchases that if my spouse found out I would be in BIG trouble. I spent roughly $100 a month or more on gems. That is until I stopped playing. I know, your saying I am just one player, but there are probably tens of thousands of players just like me who stopped playing and that revenue loss will hurt. If you think your gem purchases make up for it, you better start spending a lot more if you want to see the game survive.

Silly.

1 more day!

Some players complain that there are too many players now. There’s a bit of merit to that, I was at a world boss event a couple days ago and there were so many players that we could not see the boss O.o

But to give you an idea, there’s an event going on right now where you can get quartz crystals. The trading post shows that the supply of those crystals went from 200k to 5.5 million pretty much overnight. Same thing happened last year.

Servers continue to tip over to Very High or Full every week until they lift the server caps again. This has been happening since launch. Why just today another 2 NA servers hit higher population levels which indicates that the game continues to attract new players.

Check out this recent discussion between Evan Lesh and some players on where they are going with build templates. Good stuff here, they took feedback from players on what we want and why the WvW/PvE UI is so different from the PvP UI.

Last we heard was 2.5 million logging in weekly and I think they picked up another 3 million in China.

They talked about it a bit in this developer livestream a couple weeks ago (at 7:45)

Some releases will be 2 weeks and some will be 4.
For Feature packs, those will happen between Seasons, but the Seasons will be shorter – don’t have a link for that, it was said a couple months back.

This is the best place to post about character art issues so the team can address it:

Any character on your account with Artificing can combine them.

This appears to be linked to a wrong article – it links to an article posted yesterday by IGN regarding yesterday’s video.

Wallace MacBix.2089:

They removed magic find on gear. Instead it is now an account bound stat (that you gain from “eating” luck. You gain luck from salvaging blues and green and a small amount from your daily/monthly). Magic Find from luck is capped at +300% (around ~4mil luck, if I recall). You also gain magic find from Achievement Points, a magic find infusion on your ascended amulet, guild bonus, boosters, and food; all of these do not count towards the +300% cap from luck.

Good information here, also note that if your server has the Outnumbered buff in WvW there’s another 20% MF that does not count to the 300% cap. In addition, MF applies to chests earned in structured PvP.

Rukiichan.4315:

I recently changed servers after collecting my previous server’s rewards and now i cant get the chest, all he says is he’s not familiar with my world?

If you changed regions you need to put in a ticket. Otherwise just talk to the Battle Historian as outlined in the mail you recieved ingame.

Did you read your mail?

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World_experience#WXP_Acquisition

“Players will grant more WXP the longer they have been alive. Getting different ranks (bronze/silver/gold) for event completion scales the WXP awarded, while Outnumbered you gain a 25% bonus to world experience.”

See the table on the wiki for different objectives.
