Guild Wars 2

Come on! Do you really think mana will return just because you create this topic? I really, highly doubt that.

Don’t want to explain, you must know already, what will cost returning mana.

And again, I don’t agree with you. If you think that we don’t need to think in a battle, only reflexes, than I’d say, you are easy target in… pvp for example.

A system we have right now isn’t bad. It’s just some percent of players, a small percent, doesn’t like it, that’s all.

After what Arena have done, do you really think they will return mana system? Mana was here from the very beginning. But then it was taken from the game. Not for fun you know, for a reason. And after that they build system we have right now.

Mesmers were changed because of we don’t have mana. And so on and etc.

Mana won’t return in GW2. I’d like to see that.

Wrong. You need to think, and you need reflexes. Without thinking, your game play is poor. So you do need to think.

NinjaEd. mana was in GW2 and Arena removed it for a reason. Don’t you think, that they will bring it back to the game?
How do you imagine it? What consequences it will cost?

I’d say, this is nonsense, no offence.

With mana you would think twice before using magic spells you say? What, with what we have right now, you don’t need to think? I don’t think so.

Ynna.8769:

If we’re purely talking archetype, the Guardian is very much a Paladin. You just narrowed down the requirements for “Paladin” in a way I’m not sure everyone will agree with.

No. =) Paladin is worshiping to the particular God and take his blessing, right? But Guardian doesn’t worship to anybody.

Guardian is not Paladin. He can remind you Paladin, but he is not.

Paladin is a melee warrior, who use some holy magic. But when he has a warrior skills, such a melee weapon, and magic skills, such as holy spells. But this two are separate.

Guardian is a warrior and a magician at the same time. Magic and melee combat are tied together. They are not separate. When you use melee weapon, you have and warrior’s and magician’s parts at the same time in the combat.

To be honest, I didn’t like Guardian. Not because of he is bad or boring. No. He is very interesting, as other professions in this game. I just wanted to see in this profession the warrior. Not exact warrior as a… warrior profession, but something like that.

That’s why I couldn’t play Guardian. I looked at him and wanted to see a warrior, which also use magic. This was a mistake.

Arena sad that Guardian is an evolution.

While I was playing a guardian yesterday, I had feeling, a new feeling, which I didn’t feel before. I looked at this profession in another way.

I understood, that I’ve never seen such class before, in games I’ve played. This is a new species, if I can say like that.

Guardian doesn’t feel like a warrior who can spell magic, and Guardian doesn’t feel like heavy armored magician, who spells magic.

English is not my language, that’s why it’s a little bit hard for me, trying to explain, what I feel.

When I’s playing Guardian, I recognized some parts of professions from GW1. Monk – because of healing, Warrior, Rutuallist – because of spiritual weapons, Paragon – because of some defensive skills. Maybe there are others little parts of other professions from GW1, I don’t know.

But Guardian only reminds me those professions. I can’t say he replaced them. He was born because of them, I’d say. It is an evolution. Arena is right.

And you know what? Now I’m very interested in this profession.

Guardian is something new. He isn’t a warrior… well he is, but I don’t think that you should look at him as a warrior only with magic. Also, I don’t think you should look at him like he is a magician, spell caster with heavy armor, shield, melee weapon.

You may not agree with me, but I have feelings about Guardian. He isn’t a warrior with magic and isn’t heavy armored magician, and you know why? I think, in this case you can say that Guardian is a hybrid. Warrior-magician/spell caster hybrid. But he is not a hybrid.

And why Guardian is not a hybrid? Because his magic is different from Elementalist’s, or Mesmer’s, or Necromancer’s magic. His magic is unique. And his melee (warrior’s) stuff are different from warrior as well.

The Guardian is something new. Something we’ve never seen before. And a warrior and a magician, but at the same time not a warrior and not a magician. It Is evolution. It is something new. Something, which only reminds us a warrior and a magician. =)

That’s what I feel about Guardian. And I like it! Very much! But you may disagree with me. After all, it’s my IMO. =)

DsoN.2794:

don’t know but what armour is it ?

It is Cultural Tier 3 human armor.

Isn’t it a Troll thread?

Yes, it is the opposite, but in a good way. If you uncomfortable playing with someone, you can play with your henchmen or heroes. I’ve played the whole time with my heroes. Only several times asked guild mates for help. But the rest of the time on my own with henchmen and then with heroes. It’s very convenient when you need to afk.

I don’t agree with you Algreg. Well, agree, but only on half. You can play only lore: Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall and Eye of the North. It won’t take you very long. And then continue playing GW2 and if you want, read GW1 Wiki as well. And GW2 Wiki as well too. =)

If you want to know the past and know Tyria better, then I’d say, go and play GW1.

In Prophecies you will learn the conflict between Ascalonians and the Charr. You will see the white mantle. You will see a Shining Blade. You will see how Seraph Guards were born. You will see many ways, that could be in GW2, and why they don’t exist. You will have a good experience about GW world. You will see Pyro, the charr, Jora, which statue you have already seen. You will learn what happened to dwarfs. In fact, Norns in gw2 lives where lived dwarfs – Deldrimor. You will see the Dredge in Sorrow’s Furnace.

You will see how mortal Kormir ascended to the Goddess. And so on and etc.

When I’m traveling from the GW2 world, I recognize many places. I recognized the Balthazar statue, standing not far from Catacombs of Ascalon (dungeon).
I recognized part of Maguuma Jungle just looking at the plants.

The world in GW2 is so recognizable after playing GW1!! It’s very touching! When you look upon charr lands, former Ascalon, you recognize this lands, landscapes, grass, trees, everything!!

I can recognize where am I. In which part of Tyria, just looking around, without looking on the map. Because world in GW2 is so recognizable! Pretty much the same, only with better graphics.

You will walk upon Divinity Cost. There is a village, Shaemoor. That village, which is exist in GW2 too.

You will fight with fallen God of himself!

Then Cancha. Yes, it doesn’t have any relatives in GW2, maybe in a future, if or when Devs will add Cantha. But anyway you will have good experience! I can promise you that. Cantha is a beautiful country with a beautiful strory, music! OMG I want to play gw1 once again. xDDD

It is good that we don’t have Cantha and Elona right now. If you will play in GW1 now, and when Cantha and Elona will add in the GW2, you will see the references to the gw1 and this will touching! You WON’T regret that.

And you will learn about Palava Joko. And many, many, many things. Mursaat, Seers.

Krystal Desert, Glint, Forgotten.

When Devs add Jormag, his nest in Gunnar’s Hold. It was a city, in GW Eye of the North.

The only thing is, game play. It might looks boring after tasting game play in GW2.

So yes, if you interested in lore, you MUST play GW1. =) And read GW1 wiki as well. There are many information too. Stories, culture and etc.

The point is, that you don’t listen. It’s a waste of time, trying to prove something to you. You just don’t listen at all. I don’t want to waste my time anymore.

If you don’t wanna see the reason, the facts, so be it. Your choice.

Lutharr.1035:

Thats the extent of your arguement? Cos they aint in now? Your in the wrong part of the forum then aint ya.

Conversation is over. From now on you can argue with someone else.

The Demonic Spirit.3157:

Can Anet tell us their thoughts on mounts for God’s sake !!!?
Can they end this long arguement , please !!

Yes, it would be good.

Ask yourself, why don’t we have them right now? As I sad, you just don’t care about facts, you prefer not see them, because you want this mounts so badly.

You just don’t want to listen. This argument make no sense, cause you don’t listen.

You just don’t want to think. Or don’t want to admit, that mounts will ruin mechanic in the game.

Waypoints, we have many of them. You can travel from one location to another.

Jump puzzles. With mounts, with their speed boon, you can throw vista and jump puzzles through the window.

With mounts waypoints will be forgotten, you know why? Because they cost money. Who will spend money when he can simply ride on the mount?

Lets imaging Nonrs on their mounts, standing on the Trading Post. It’s hilarious.

You just don’t wanna see the facts. You think, or want to think, that mount won’t ruin the game. That mounts are suit with GW2. Cause you don’t care, you just want them.

But I don’t want to argue with you, cause it’s useless. Arena.net know what they are doing, at least I hope. I doubt they will add this mounts, highly doubt that.

And even mounts without any speed boon. In this case they are useless.

We don’t need this mounts. You just want them, and don’t wanna see the facts, which are against this mounts.

It looks like you just don’t care and don’t wan to see the facts. That’s it. But I hope, developers know what they are doing.
I hope that if I see facts, why there is no place for mounts in this game, they see that and understand that too.

Otherwise we would have this mounts in GW1 and we already would have them in GW2.

The mechanic between GW1 and GW2 aren’t different. In fact. In GW1 you cannot teleport from one location to another. You can only teleport from one city or fort-post to another.
In GW2 you can teleport from one location to another. Which means, in GW2 you can travel to place you want even faster than in GW1. And you tell me that we need this mounts? I don’t think so, and hope, so do Arena.net

The main argument is: Mounts doesn’t fit with this game. What will you do with waypoints? Why do we have skills which give us speed boon?

What is YOUR argument against NOT heaving mounts?

Except Cultural Armor, there is one armor which suit charr well. It’s Durmand Priory armor.
I think armor from other orders suit charr as well. That’s it.

It’s a very bad idea. There is no place for mounts. We have waypoints, we have skills which increase speed. With mounts it would be ruined. The whole system would be collapsed.

Even without any speed boon. Just stop asking mounts and think, just think. You are doing jump puzzle. Norns and Charr cause some… inconvenience. Think how it would be horrible, when someone will do this puzzle on his mount.

And again. We have waypoints. We have skills which increase run speed. There is no place for mounts.

My tiger warrior.

@ Lyuben.2613

Charr are playable race now, and you want them to be one of the main enemy?

And how that suppose to look? You do realize that Arena.net will never do this?

They were an enemy in GW1, but now they are allies.

Here is my Charr with Cultural Tier 1 armor.

I do feel bad for the human ghosts. Because my GW1 character was born in Ascalon, according to lore.

But sometimes I want to kill them! They often kill my character. xD

Deer Arena.net I respect you, I really do. But we have a situation with armors, which look not as pretty on all non human races, except maybe Sylvari, as they are on the human race.

I want to play a charr warrior, but almost all armors look so… horrible, so awful! It looks like that all armors was modeled for human race. Because all armor sets looks fine on human. But not all of it look fine on norn, asura, charr.

For example dungeon from Caudecus’s Manor. Armor from that dungeon is perfectly sit on the human. But on the charr it looks so horrible, so I won’t even bother to collect it.

Why I should bother to collect dungeon’s armors if they look so horrible on the race, I want to play?

Why should I interested in a charr, if there are only 3-4 armors, which look normal? Three cultural armors, but one of them costs 110 or 120 gold coins. And one from CoF, which looks not as pretty as on human. And on the norn and asura, it looks… weird.

I am torching now because of that. I want to play a charr warrior, but couldn’t help thinking about armors which looks… And I don’t want to play a human warrior after I tasted a charr.

And what am I suppose to do now? Leaving the game? It’s not the option. And leave it like this is not the option either. I want to play the race I chose, I don’t want to play a human race just because all of armors we have, suit better on human.

I know, it’s subject, and there are people, who are okay with what we have right now. But I’m sure, there are a lot of, who will agree with me.

Maybe you are already planning to fix this, maybe not. But I hope you will. I’m not asking you to design armors from the very beginning, but you can at least, make the armor look more suitable on the charr/norn/asura. But maybe it means from very beginning. =\

But you cannot disagree that charr are wearing human looking armor, and it’s awfull. Tail which sticks trough the armor, horns which sticks through the metal.
Helmets on male Norn are stretched, and looks like it wasn’t designed for a norn.

Only cultural armors looks god on non human races.

I hope leaving it like this isn’t in your style. I hope that in the future updates, you will solve this issue. Maybe not with armors we have right now, maybe at least with a future armor sets.

Personally, I can’t see the point, why I should play a charr. I’m not interested with armor situation we have right now. It really bothers me. For me it’s very impotent and I’m sure, it’s impotent for many players as well.
It’s really disappointing.

I continue to play a charr only because I hope, you will dill with this situation.
Please, fix it on the future updates.

Nairog.3852:

Tip from experinced Rper. make your own charr gear. There is a lot of items you can combine to give a solid Charr style look, you just have to want to dig through all the bad stuff first.

This is not the option.

Oh yes, it has! Guild Wars 2 is the best game, I’ve ever played. But I’ve played not much though.

Guild Wars 2 (as well as Origin Guild Wars), is beautiful, kind, touching game, with amassing history, I love GW history! Even now, I’m reading GW1 wikipedia, and GW2 wikipedia as well. For me it’s like reading an interesting fantasy book.
And how much work has done, I can’t even imaging.

So much love developers put in this game, so much love! And I’m grateful them for that. They have created a truly amassing, a truly touching, interesting, and so kind game. And I’m not talking only about GW2, I’m talking about GW1 as well.

But the most impotent part, for what I’m grateful to you Arena, is the fact, that this game is tolerate for casual players.

Many other, classic mmorpg isn’t as tolerated, where you have to spend a lot of time to get stuff you need for playing. But not GW1 and GW2.

I thank you for that. And I wish you good luck in your creative plans. =)

Gillysan.1962:

The stats on Legendaries are the exact same as Exotic weapons, it’s just the skin right?

Yes, it is. =)

CoE armor?

No. It’s Durmand Priory.

I don’t agree with this: “Furthermore, there’s no direct reason to go to Cantha for most individuals.”

If you don’t see the reason, why we don’t need to go to Cantha, it doesn’t meant that we don’t have it.

And what make you think, that Tengu will playable race? And if it will, why humen in Cantha will be hostile for Tengu?

No, Canthan only in Divinity’s Reach isn’t good.

I want to see Cantha. I want to travel there and see the changes. Walk upon those lands, once more.

I wan’t to see the Jade See, Echovald Forest and etc.

To Vorkk.4927

Simple question, have you played in Origin Guild Wars?

You have no idea what people will do for getting stuff which has only unique skin and nothing more.

Your statement: “All this work for a skin=many players won’t do it and will move along” – is wrong. People will do it.

If you don’t believe me, take a look at GW1.

Yes, maybe not so many will do it for Legendary, but I don’t think it suppose to be for many.

That’s why Legendary have only unique skin. So if someone, who won’t be able to get this legendary, he or she, will not suffer.

If you don’t agree with it, than maybe this game isn’t for you? In this case I suggest you to play in something else. Or get use to what we have with this Legendary.

There is only one thing I can understand. Reducing requirement a bit. But if they won’t do it, I don’t think it’s a problem. They are only skins after all.

But if they will be better than exotic, even for a little bit, it will hurt, and hurt hard.
People will think: “Man! This Legendary better than my exotic! I have to get this Legendary! I have to!”

Because it will give us illusion of “Top Weapon”. And you will think, my exotic isn’t top.
You see my point?

If not, take a look around, there are many other games.

Ronah.2869:

Galdethriel.7524:

Legendaries are for the hardcore.

If they build games for hardcore players than only the hardcore ones will play it. The others will just quit. If that is not so, than why have they done publicity for it on the website? Just to make the majority more disappointed then they already are?

from “It will show how great you are” it will become “I will never have the time, money or help from others to get it anyway”

This Legendary weapons are simply skins, nothing more. They are no better than exotic weapons are.

ecthelion.6794, I think in Origin Guild Wars such a story was your first experience, you was surprised. And the lore in Guild Wars 2 didn’t surprise you, because it’s not your first experience anymore.
I think that’s the reason. I’m not sure though, just one of my thoughts.

And I’ve played in GW1 too. =) Still playing, sometimes.

Yeah, the capes like in GW1, it would be good. But we have slot for it, so I think we’ll have it. =)

Patience, young padawan.

Lets not be naive? Lets think logical I’d say. The game doesn’t need mounts. It will brake game, and Arena won’t do it. What makes you think they will?
Look at GW1 shop.

Okay, we are wasting our time. This topic is worthless. I highly doubt that Arena will add riding mounts.

Norn are shapeshifters. There is no need to add something similar.

nachdenki.2637:

Besides everything else, like breaking the economy, they are simply useless, because you can travel basically everywhere in an instant.

Agree. Mounts need there, where are no any teleports. We have so much waypoints, we can traval from Rata Sum to Ebonhawke in a instant. Why we need mounts than?

WwWww? Lets imagine mounts there. It will brake tactic, don’t you understand? You don’t have to teleport to waypoint after death anyway. Comrades will res you anyway, fight for resing you. Or if they far from you, than maybe fight is already lost and it’s no need to rush.

You need to think, mounts will make you think less. Because when you’ll die, you simply ride on a mount and quickly return to battle. There is no strategy in this case.

WwWwW isn’t arena, where you can quickly stand up on nearest waypoint and quickly return to a battle.

This world doesn’t have any mounts. Get use to it. Don’t ask turn unique game to something common.
Many of GW1 funs are already complaining about turning unique game into something common. And I can understand them, cause I’ve played in Origin Game too.

Some sad only 5% against mounts? This is your imo, not a fact, something you get from your head. Unless you have proof.

There are games without mounts and this is okay.

Arena.net didn’t put mounts in the game because you will ride and will miss a lot of content.

And aesthetically, riding mounts don’t fit in Guild Wars world.

It’s like in Gothic, where I can’t imagine riding mounts as well.

In GW1 wasn’t any riding mounts except Devourer in Charr Homelands and Worms in Desolation Desert. But they are for specific zones for specific quest.

For example in Desolation Desert mortal will die if he’ll take a step on the sand, so we need those worms because it’s only way to move in those lands.

I suppose you get a point.

This isn’t a WoW. Adding mounts will cost problems. What will you do with waypoints?

You want developers to change this game entirely?

As have been sad before, the game was designed without riding mounts. I mean, there are waypoints.

If you want mount think about how it will fit in this game? We have so much waypoint.
There are no place for mounts, unless they will remove waypoints from locations and left only in the towns
(for example).

How do you see Guild Wars 2 with this riding mounts? Can you imagine it? I can’t.

You asking developers about this little, worthless(imo) thing. There are many thing that more important.

This game isn’t designed for riding mounts, come on people!

And about devouers in Charr Homelands in Origin Guild Wars. I’ve been thinking about it, and about what was requested here.
I think this is bad idea.
There are only two mounts in GW1, devouer and worm. They aren’t common mounts
you get use to. They are unique, only for special zones. Desolation and Charr Homelands, that’s it.

And you are suggesting put in GW2 mounts which will be kind of those two mounts from GW1. I think this is good idea, but as in GW1, only for special zones, events and etc, but not as mounts you can use everywhere.

Origin Guild Wars is without mounts, we traveled without mounts and I don’t see why we need them in Guild Wars 2.

As I was saying before, you just haven’t get use to play in mmorpg without mounts.

If you want riding mounts, Arena needs something to do with waypoints.

There is a little bit different between speed boost and mount. Speed boost is a temporary, mount isn’t.

Azjenco.9425, yes, I remember devourer, now I cans see your point. =)

To Azjenco.9425.

This is not WoW, or Perfect World and etc. Why do we have the waypoints then? I Origin Guild Wars wasn’t any mount and we lived with it.

If you want mounts, remove waypoints. But this will cause many changes, it’s impossible.

Are you asking removing humming or letting shot them down if you don’t like it? Your title and what you are posting here are a little bit different, which can confuse.

Turn off means turning off, for all. And letting turn it off is a different meaning.

Actually mounts in mmorpg is made for buying them from game shop, that’s a fact. So developers can earn
money from such things. I can’t see why do we need this mounts in Guild Wars?

You just haven’t get use to play without this mounts, that’s it, and nothing more.

I repeat. Mounts are for spending real money for buying them from game shop. It’s one of the ways,
how developers in other mmorpg gaining their money, since they simple doesn’t have a good game content.

Why are you complaining about new system? If you want healer, if you don’t like a new system, than maybe this game isn’t for you?

Well on your first link isn’t a Norn Warrior, but Human Warrior. He wears dungeon’s armor and Krytan sword.

The norn’s cultural armor are amazing. Especially tier 3.

In origin Guild Wars Obsidian armor is very expansive, but it didn’t stop people to get it.

(http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Warrior_Obsidian_armor)

SuperLuigi.3720:

“….there are…..five of you?”
“We thought four would be enough, but Olafdottir insisted on coming.”
“….I will NEVER understand the Norn.”

Yup-yup. That’s one of the reasons why I love norn. They are so funny.
Poor Ogden, his ears were probably bleeding cause of norn.

I don’t get it. The bottom “Play” is not working. And I can’t verify my Authentication. Clicking button “Send”, but it sas: “Your email address in not valid”. And I honestly have no idea what to do.
