Guild Wars 2

They wanted to limit the amount of achievement experience you could get. To do that they also used a system that limits the amount of variety. I would prefer they handle those separately. Say only x number of the daily choices will give achievement experience, but have more choices available.

I don’t have difficulty finishing the daily, but I do often have to check to see what needs to be done and go specifically do something to finish it off.

I’ve enjoyed recurring events in all games. The best of them add new things to do to the previous years activities.

I would like saved sets of looks that you can switch to easily. I would like to change my looks with my mood or what I’m doing with out the barrier of using up charges or having to recreate a look I had. I like Lotro’s system of having sets that you switch between.

I would be ok with having to transmute the first time you make your look but after that I would like to freely switch between the looks.

I like your basic idea. I like that you are working towards getting it instead of gambling towards getting or out and out buying it off the TP. Some version of this would be cool.

I’m loving the wardrobe. I’ve changed the looks from slightly to dramatically for all my characters. I love that some of the town clothes can now be used as outfits all the time. I love the account dye system. And I like the megaserver most of the time. It’s nice to have populated areas all over the place. Especially Orr.

Female characters do not look better than male characters. It is a matter of preference is all.

Google Chrome and IE have problems with security right now so people don’t have to be logging into suspect sites to be compromised. It is a false sense of security to think that you are not at risk. We are all at risk with the hackers now. People should opt for as much security as they can on their email and everything else.

(My work just told us to not use IE at all until they tell us we can again).

Open your “hero” window. At top of page click on dyes. Choose the dye and apply to the armor. (you must click the apply box to keep it).

There are different types of guilds.

-Small guilds with family and close friends.
-All purpose medium to large guilds that do everything, are organized, do guild missions, schedule activities.
-WvW focused guilds.
- PvP focused guilds.
-And so forth.

I believe the purpose of allowing membership in multiple guilds was to allow for people to indulge in gameplay they enjoy without having to leave a guild that they have ties to and friends inside.

I am guild leader of a small friends and family guild. We don’t have rules about representation for the very fact that the members have diverse interests. We will never be large enough to do guild missions. We don’t have guild drama and running the guild doesn’t become a chore or second job. Depending on peoples work schedules, we can muster enough for a full party to do dungeons or whatever.

I like having it flexible. I think the specialized guilds, such as ours, are inherently more flexible because we realize we have a narrow purpose. I think the all purpose medium to large guilds who intend to be all things to all people are inherently restrictive on the requirement for 100% representation. I can understand why, they don’t want a member list of people who are not representing or participating in the culture of the guild.

Even though I understand why guilds require 100% reputation and why they begrudge people wanting to participate in other types of guilds, the effect on me and others like me is that I don’t join those guilds. I see the 100% rep requirement and know I can’t do that.

Personally, I wish that some of the guild features would be changed to remove the penalty and barriers of being in multiple guilds. I can think of two changes right off that would improve the multiple guild experience:

-Guild chat across all guilds you belong to.
-Influence being applied to all guilds you belong to.

As it is now, you could be doing activities with one of your guilds (the flexible one) and contributing all your influence earned to the restrictive guild because you have to rep them no matter what. That isn’t fair.

tldr; I would like changes to be made to allow both types of guilds to thrive.

Excluding purchasing from the trading post, is the only ways to get them now from black lion chests, crafting them, or by using laurels?

“I’m asking why there isn’t enough in a zone to get you through the appropriate range in the zone. "

Most people here on the forum are not giving you a satisfactory answer since they haven’t come across the problem. Generally by doing the personal story and completing the zones the story goes through, you would finish above zone level. So they are not advising you to do anything different from what they have done themselves. You are in fact claiming that there is big problem of experience within the game, except that it isn’t a problem for anyone else.

To get more xp you can:

- Do dungeons
- Do low level fractals
- Do personal story
- Do living story (when it returns)
- Adventure in more zones, there are about 3 zones at every level range
- Use xp boosters and xp food
- Collect resources
- Craft
- Explore cities
- Explore WvW, and PvP maps
- Do dailies
- Do events
- Do activities
- Complete jumping puzzles
- Follow the living story
- Do guild missions
- Play WvW

That’s not by any means an exhaustive list since achievements and other stuff probably give xp too. There’s no point claiming there is nothing to do in game to get xp.

Again, I am NOT asking about what other ways I can gain experience. I’m well aware I can do a bunch of stuff I don’t want to particularly do (like my complete lack of interest in WvW) to gain experience. Telling me to go do something I don’t have interest in is not exactly an answer. My question isn’t “What else can I do in general?” It’s “Why did I just 100% map complete a 40-50 zone and only end up at level 45?”

You said that “Generally by doing the personal story and completing the zones the story goes through, you would finish above zone level.” I have found the exact opposite. I have 100% completed every map I’ve done on the way to where I am, and I have consistently found I am very underleveled for the zone I just finished by the time I’m done with it.

I already found my answer. The answer lies in the fact that zones are completely and utterly different in this game. Sure, I can kill mobs all day to level from 40-50 in the zone, but that isn’t “content.” The zones are just poorly gated and the answer lies in having to do a smattering of a whole bunch of different places and going all over creation to progress if you like progressing through zones. I just have to retrain my brain and get used to the lack of cohesive, progressive gameplay.

You’ve got it there. The only other thing to mention (sorry if someone said I stopped reading replies), the living story content also typically provides things to do when it is around. But yes, the only content to follow in a progression of levels is the personal story.

I hope they go with the choice of assigning a separate permission choice for each area.

I came here right after we got the second area of the guild bank to ask where permission was set and was told that they were the same. It should be clear in the guild window that it is the same, at the very least, you are right that should be added in game.

The necro is a lot of fun to play. It is totally different from gw1 though. Warrior is powerful but to me not as much fun to play.

I found it worth it for the convenience.

Then, congratulations on your Awesomeness! =)

Thank you, thank you

Screenshot is required to show of the new dyes!

The solution is for them to allow you to receive the trait from defence events.

It would also be useful for holding the kite, balloon, dance book, and other things that you would like to use but sit in your bank because it is too inconvenient to swap from character to character.

I’d like all of the gw1 armor. Especially the mesmer armor. There was some very nice looks there.

I too like the new heart messages. It is much more pleasing to deliver the reward that way.

To be honest, I like this update better than all of the living story added together and multiplied by 1000.

Its also part of your character creation. You select “personality” for your character. Unless they are revamping the entire character creation, I assume they will add it back in somehow.

You can give more choice in what to do for the daily without increasing the ap you can get. Limit it to the 10 or the 5 even for all I care. Just give us more choice in which 5 we do.

And as for AP zombie guildmates or other unfriendly behavior. Chat with them, perhaps ask them to shape up or ship out (using nicer words).

I asked for harvesting to be added back because it was there every day before. I’m also wanting more than 10 choices of which harvesting is one, there are at least 3 from wvw, and at least 3 for sPvP, and the remainder be doable in pve general world or across two or more playstyles.

I want more choices, not fewer, sorry if I sounded like I wanted to decrease the choices by one.

Its good for people new to the game to post their impressions. I too would like more things to do added to the game. I think more things will be forthcoming.

Please add the harvesting back in to be doable each daily. Please add enough sPvP and WvW so that you can complete in whichever area you want to play in that day.

Logic: so that the result is you play what you want for that day and are able to complete the daily while playing.

We should be completing our daily while playing the game, not having the completion of the daily as the point of playing.

Some do the Queensdale champion train just to get champions out of the way. It never really was worth it reward wise.

Thanks for the help in attaching screenshots:

Meh, I can’t figure how how to get an image to show. Why can’t this have some simple buttons to push to insert images and such. /sadface

This seems fair to me. Some adjustment is needed. The below level 80 should not take as much to apply as the level 80 since you will have to reapply the look over and over as you level.

I’m not sure if we are supposed to put this type feedback here but, I just want to say I’m glad we have a wardrobe system now and I’ll have fun collecting armor.

Go look at the wvw sets (the one that is just skins) and see if it is one of those.

Some of mine appear as soulbound boots in inventory and say talk to trader but some have nothing visible but I got something when I talked to the trader.

Why am I getting 5 costume unlocks with some costumes and 4 with others?

Brainnnnnnnnnsssssssssss! Awesome video.

You may be confused on the WvWvW. It isn’t level that goes account wide. It is your rank that goes account wide.

Other than that, I can’t think of anything else to do.

You read the same article? They directly say that your WxP will be pooled across all characters.

Yes, they said that they will pool the rank experience across your account. (Levels are something entirely different, I thought he was talking about levels instead of ranks.). However, they did say that it will not be the sum of all of your ranks added together due to the lower ranks not requiring as much wvw experience to obtain.

You may be confused on the WvWvW. It isn’t level that goes account wide. It is your rank that goes account wide.

Other than that, I can’t think of anything else to do.

Some suggestions:

1. Don’t try and get the vistas, poi’s, etc. as you go through the first time. Instead, run as fast as you can down the safest roads and unlock as many waypoints as you can. The first time through, your goal is to unlock waypoints through all orr maps. The reason for this is that you are more likely to have a useable waypoint later when you go back to get poi’s, sp, and vistas. Also, you may just level up to 80 doing this (if you aren’t already) and find a temple open where you can use karma to get the level 80 exotic armor (if you need it).

2. Now that you have cleared the maps and made waypoints visible, it will be easier to head toward groups if they are there. Look for commander tag and run with groups doing events if possible. That way you can finish part of your mapping in a group.

3. I had a stack of revive orbs and repair canisters in the bank as I got them from chests, etc and never used them. If you have these, be sure and take them with you. For skill points guarded by a champion with no group to help you out, make sure you die right at the skill point. Use the revive orb and immediately commune with the skill point.

4. Sometimes you will see others who seem to be mapping also. Ask in /say or whisper if they want to work with you for mapping. It works well for one of you to pull mobs while other communes at skill point, and then swap.

5. Make sure you load your skill bar up with skills that will help you with surviving, escaping, running, etc.

6. Watch the mob animations and which type mobs cause you the most problem. Eventually you will learn how to time your dodge for maximum escaping the evil undead ones that pull you.

7. Mutter to yourself…if death is so good, why don’t you stay dead already as you run past the mobs.

8. Try not to get frustrated.

It’s funny how differently people react to the game characters. I personally have enjoyed the new ones and listened to the Uh-huh speech more than once just for fun.

Speaking as someone who didn’t PvP for a long long time and has come to embrace the spirit of PvP more recently, I want to add some support for this.

I think that open world dueling adds a lot to a game.

First of all, since it has to be agreed to by both parties, you don’t participate if you don’t want to.
Second of all, its a great way to hone your skills.
It is a great way to pass time while waiting to do something.
It is fun to be a spectator to duels.
It would even add to roleplay where you could have a real “bar fight”.

The game suffers from too little to do that is unpredictable. This would add in something to do.

It would be much better than the verbal dueling that currently dominates map chat.

He was acting like a parent. I’ve done a lot of uh huhing in my day.

I would like for them to make the players involved with the future of lions arch. Have us do things that make it better or worse there.

Sometimes its good to have an easy target. It makes it safer for the other potential targets.

If you have to ask, you know the answer already. You just want someone to confirm it for you. So, stay away from those type things. You don’t want to lose your account over it.

My guild is made up of family, long time friends and their friends and family, and so forth. The guild bank is an easy way to help each other out with loot and crafting materials. We’ve leveled the different things in the guild as we can. We are too small to do guild missions so we are almost out of any goal for using the influence points to get. That’s about it.

Other than that if there is something you particularly want to do, you can join a guild for that.

The only time I’ve seen 1200 is in overflow. Of course, I’ve only played in overflow. :P

And see, I didn’t even know that was the objective. I thought the objective was to complete the events successfully.

I’ve “saved” some citizens. But some I talk to just get angry. It’s a bit confusing.

One of the things to keep in mind is that people are individuals. Some of them are self-sacrificing and will risk being downed themselves, some will rez if it can be done safely, some will not ever rez because there is a waypoint or they don’t want to be downed or whatever reason.

In other games we sort of self selected into these roles by choosing our class. Here, people who in other games would be playing a class that can’t rez, now have the uncomfortable position of being something they never seek out in a game.

Last night when I ran the event, plenty were rezzing others. Sometimes people got left behind I’m sure. When its fast paced, chaotic, and timed, you are going to have that result. It is inevitable.

I doubt it but that would be very cool.

I like the system in Lotro, the loot auto-accumulates and you go through it when you have time to sort through what to take and what to reject.

A true autoloot system would be a huge improvement. Yes there are work-arounds and blah blah blah. And really, this isn’t an autoloot system, it is an arealoot system. There is nothing auto about it.

The point is, what makes you immersed in a game and makes a game look polished and feature rich?

A true autoloot function both allows you to be immersed in gameplay without having to remember to spam a loot button and makes the game look more up to date.

Is it game breaking? No. Would it be an improvement? Yes.

Well, the original LA is under water. This was a new one, so no, the same LA hasn’t been around.

Are we sure that it will be destroyed at the end?

To be honest, I’m not a fan of ugly. There are many ugly zones in the game that aren’t a lot of fun to spend time in. All of Orr is an example. Parts of other maps. I don’t mind some destroyed landscape but it sure doesn’t beckon me to explore and hang around. Hopefully Lions Arch doesn’t become an abandoned ugly place.

Apparently its considered wrong to want to experience the game content like the op suggests. (Take a break, come back and play it all at once). It is supposedly better for it to disappear.

The usual comment is: its easy to get it done in the time available, you can watch it on youtube, and if you haven’t been here all along you don’t deserve to play it cause if this were real life you couldn’t just do stuff whenever you want. Did I miss anything?
