Guild Wars 2

I was tempted to do juggernaut as its really not all that much more expensive. But I see a LOT of them around, where as i think I’ve seen Mjolnir maybe 2x ever in game? Figured it was the best option for me. Plus I’ve always wanted one since I first saw the ele summon skill =P.

Not that this has any relevance or matters but the need to finally say I got Mjolnir! Took forever to craft, soo much clicking but now when rev comes out I’m gonna look sweet! That’s pretty much it for today =P ha ha just couldn’t help but say it!

We have one its called the Jackalope and its even better! Cause obviously antlers make everything better =P. But it is a good suggestion as maybe a less rare, more affordable mini if you can’t pay out 150g+.

I have a question for OP. Are you the first one in your party to hit the boss? If so then it will go for you first. Just stand back a second let the rest of the party hit it a few times then jump in, might make all the difference.

Ha ha I love it, Suspicious Bush would be great! Concerning underwater animals on land I think it would be kind of weird. I’m sure some could work but I have an easier time with a bear swimming then a dolphin flying i guess. But who knows they might be able to make it work!

Oh and another I thought of that could be fun would be a pet moose!

To compact things a little bit-
The list thus far:
-Mini Dragons (all kinds, everyone love having a flying pet dragon!)
-Mini Clone (copy of yourself/mini mesmer clone if possible?)
-Hounds of Balthazar (could be fun if you get both of them at once similar to karka)
-More cats (lots already but can always use more kinds)
-Mistfire Wolf
-Corrupted Minions
-Aquatic Pet Options (could be fun to have specific ones like dolphin,jellyfish etc etc for underwater if it ever gets to be more then 5% of content)
-All those holiday or holographic skins in normal form as we meet them in the world.
-More of the ambient creatures found around the maps.

Skins not already done, some not mentioned in this post (but in others)
-Weeping angel (I would love this, granted I am a Doctor Who enthusiast but understand it probably wont happen)
-Pet rock/mushroom
-Tyrannus (all kinds of dinos would probably be accepted gratefully)
-Gw1 creatures

Any more ideas of what we can add to the list? Maybe I left out some?A lot of these are great and would be awesome to see them someday!

I find on a warrior using axe/shield and axe/sword with the correct sigils works nicely. With might on block and the right traits/sigils you can keep decent might as well as reflect/block and constant eviscerate when up. Mix it with a bit of shout heals and you get rather beastly. Granted its not the best dps you can get as a war but its still quite fun in the right circumstances.

I quite enjoyed spiteful spirit in gw1 as well as a lot of the mesmer skills, was sad to see them gone. So I personally would be up for seeing punishment for attacks/using skill in the game again. It made a lot of encounters a lot more challenging (I still avoid breeze riders out of habit from gw1). I don’t see this getting rid of stacking per-say but It would liven things up in my opinion. Retaliation alone just doesn’t cut it, only time ive ever even noticed it do anything is with a glass cannon ele nuking a zerg in wvw.

That’s true also, stealth working with minis should be fixed. And I’m loving a lot of these ideas! Mini Doppelganger sounds especially fun,(although not sure how they could implement it well without causing all sorts of more lag, but i’m sure there is a way!).

Danikat.8537:

Kitten it! I saw the title and picture and thought they’d actually added a mini Mistfire Wolf, then I read the post.

Ha ha sorry about that, though it would be sweet to have it! =P

Maybe they could add it to the deluxe version of the expansion? Although I would personally prefer something closer to crafting/getting similar to liadra like Devata was saying.

Basically going for a list of cool mini pets that you would enjoy seeing/having in game! (that will be hopefully added as the models are already done, just gotta shrink them) Personally I would love to see mistfire wolf as a mini. (scaled at about the same size as the mordrem teregriff mini). Anyone else have a specific one you would love to see? If so have a post a picture of it too! Lets see what kind of cool pets we can see! =P

When I first bought game I thought the mistfire wolf skill was a ranger pet. Got so excited then found out it was garbage. Ha ha good times.

Very true, wish I could give a date of when. But it’ll be a while, they could come out with different colored ones too before expansion for all we know.

They were preview items of what’s to come in the expansion. They will be back soon enough is my bet.

-They redid the leveling up in this game, for the most part you have very limited everything until you are 80. (traits at 30) Quests are the fastest way to level up, simply killing mobs doesn’t do all that much. Though there are many low level areas you can explore/do hearts in. (asura, charr, human) plenty to do and explore.
-I would suggest using sigil of bloodlust (works wonders at low lvls)

Ah good to know, maybe I was misreading somethin. Thanks

Even if you are chosen it’s not all that great if you don’t live near the location they send. Almost makes it even worse ha ha.

Oh there is one like this? I can delete then I just haven’t noticed one. Where is Main thread location?

So I realize weapon swap is thought of as “too much” for a revenant. But as much as hammer looks sweet i would like to try out the other weapons as well. The problem with this is on high level difficulty (mostly higher fractals and hard hitting bosses) It is REALLY nice to be able to have a melee and a ranged option. I just have a feeling unless the revs healing/tanking is amazing that it will be a “hit a few times then stand in the corner to recover, rinse and repeat”. I know this isn’t always the case but that’s my feeling on it.

-No weapon swap would make the revenant the only class unable to range the enemy if getting low on health. (saying this as ele cant weapon swap but has attunements that give a large variety of ranged options). Granted there may be legends that fix this problem and I am really hoping that is the case.

What does everyone else think about it? Maybe something I missed?
I would love to hear any constructive comments or thoughts! Thanks!

I think being able to pick which fractal you get would be really cool, but unless they did a complete overhaul with balancing it would be the same 3 base fractals and boss every single time. I can’t say I enjoy some (cliffside for example) as much as others. But I would personally prefer that fractals didn’t turn into CoF p1 speed runs.

I wasn’t ever trying to say fractal skins should be “easy to obtain”. Personally I could and would easily pay 100 pristines for the last skin i need. But the 25-50 was for the sake of new players. 100 pristines seem like very little to me. But so does 100g but I have also played since gw2 first came out. To someone that just started it is a seemingly exorbitant amount.

Awesome! It Is great to know that our concerns are getting through! Excited for the day when we can purchase fractal skins with relics and salvage ascended rings (or do something with them). Thanks Gaile!

With the recent daily fractal (get extra pristine) I would understand if they made it 50. But I also agree that 100 +10 gold is overkill. The skins aren’t that elite, I’ve seen plenty of first timers get the skin i want in 11-19 fractals. Rng just happens to not be my friend. And just curious if its only 10 for a ring why would it need to be 100 for a skin? I mean they aren’t that elite of skins, it just sucks to try and get the last one you need (opposed to just duplicate warhorns/tridents).

The one new pet I would LOVE to see is mistfire wolf. Not as an elite but as a pet! (when game first came out that’s what i thought it was) was very disappointing to find out it was just a crummy elite. Plus it kind of has a revenant from the mists kind of theme, they could make it work! =P

For leveling up to 80 without any tomes, get minor sigil of bloodlust and sigil of speed put on a lvl 1 weapon (probably hammer as its ranged and decent aoe). I find that at lvl 2-10 once i have 25 stacks from sigil I kill most things in 1-2 hits and lvl to 10-15 very quickly. After that do story (plus a free bl key) then from there on zerker masterwork gear will probably get you to 80 fastest.

I agree with Slacker’s post for the most part. Though I would like the ability to buy fractal skins with pristine relics. I don’t care if its 25 or even 50 for 1 skin, as long as it is EVENTUALLY attainable. That would still keep the skins rare but not purely rely on rng which after 2 years can still leave you lacking the one weapon skin you actually want.

It’s a good idea though I think they could easily go overboard and make it more confusing for new players. I do think they should add warning messages when buying certain items with gems though. For example:" This outfit will cost 800 gems, it is one piece that goes over your armor and cannot be mixed and matched. Are you sure you want to purchase?" Or at least something to that effect. I luckily know better but I know lots of players that only understood that when it was too late.

Mea.5491:

I’m gonna get so much hate for this but I love outfits. I can wear them on multiple characters, even at level 1 and I don’t need transmutation charges.

I agree It’s awesome to be able to wear it starting at lvl 1 that is the great thing about outfits, but there is nothing special about wearing the same exact thing as everyone else. I personally like mix n match more, really wish they would come out with an unlimited transmutation stone so i could mix n match lvling up too. Would be SWEET!

Serval.6458:

I have always been disappointed I don’t see my charr licking themselves when left unattended for extended periods of time.

+1 to this one! ha ha

I can see it now, gliding and you say to yourself “hm I wonder if i could use this tonic at the same time?!?” click and AAAAHHHHH!!!! SPLAT!!! ha ha I want to do it now. Can’t wait till HoT is out.

There is the newish content drytop and silverwastes that can be fun once you are lvl 80. Though it is a bit hard to understand what is going on the first time you are there. Otherwise you can do dungeons exp mode or Fractals (though these tend to be a bit more difficult). Other then that I would say find some gear/weapons you like and work towards getting them.

Being able to argue it or not the main concern to me is that the devs seem to not be willing to make any kind of response whatsoever. Any post I’ve read concerning this is simply ignored instead of the idea being nicely declined. I really hope it can change and forums actually can do something (or at least get some kind of response even if its not what I’m hoping for). Well I can always hope the expansion finally brings a change.

A while back I also suggested perhaps an unlimited transmutation stone. Sell them for x many gems, they get their money and we can put this dumb system behind us. Either that or I agree with you to get rid of the whole system.

That would be really cool, a back item that eats an ascended a day. I wonder what skin it would have. .. hm. Very interesting thought! I like it.

Yet rares and exotics drop just as much if not a lot more and are currently worth at a minimum 5x that of ascended. Even outside of fractals many of them are either a lot of laurels or 1000 bandit crests and 10 gold. Maybe its just me but I think a resell value of 4-6 silver on something that costs a bunch of time and 10 gold to get is a little off. But I’m not really wanting to argue this point further, I mostly would just like to hear some input from the devs, even if its simply they know about the concern and cannot comment past that.

Nike.2631:

Dand.8231:

+1, we definitely need to be able to Salvage, and Mystic Toilet, all those useless ascended rings.

The word you’re looking for isn’t ‘useless’ – its ‘valueless’. They are worth 5 silver.

But lets be honest, 5 silver is more of a slap to the face then not being able to sell them at all.

I think some kind of banishing skills with a rifle would be really fun with revenant. Although it would be hit or miss depending on how they designed it. Plus I agree no classes really can use a rifle well at this point. Engineer uses kits for most part and war rifle just… well I’ll leave it at that.

The quest for salvaging (at least for ecto) extra ascended gear with bad stats has been going on since fractal rings came to be. But now we are getting ascended rings/accessories EVEN from doing story achievements (and dungeoneer). So if I never do a day of fractals I will still have a lot of extra ascended with less then favorable stats I can do nothing with.
My question is can we PLEASE get some input from the devs that they at least read this. I don’t care if the reply is simply “I can’t say anything but the problem is noted”. In the many many posts about extra ascended I have still yet to see any comment from the devs. I would GREATLY appreciate any kind of response no matter how small.
Thank you!

To be honest as long as you have agony resist the 20s tier of fractals aren’t much different then the 11-19. Also instead of vials you get shards. Much better and worth a a lot more

I’m going to make a silvari revenant with a toxic/plant/infected kind of look to him. Similar to this armor look and coloring but swap the helm out for arahs heavy. The dye/armor gives a fun feel of being part of the jungle opposed to just in it. Can’t wait for revenant to come out, already making an ascended set just for him ha ha.

Ah my bad on the wording, I didn’t mean transfer (meant copy). Thanks for the replies and that does help the worry, now to wait for what more traits may combo with it. (at least for the ones they haven’t shown us)

If this rune came out i would buy it in a heartbeat.
1)25 power
2)5% boon duration
3)50 power
4)10% boon duration, 10% condition duration
5)+100 power
6)25% movement speed, 5% chance of creating temporal rift when attacked (90 second cd)

So Revenant looks awesome and juggling conditions looks quite entertaining. But I do have a concern with the skill “Embrace the Darkness”. So every 3 seconds it transfers conditions from you to enemies in a 240 radius correct? So does it transfer all conditions or just 1 every 3 seconds?

For example if I’m running embrace the darknesss and have 25 stacks of vuln and bleeding will everyone in a 240 radius get all 25 stacks? Or will they only get 1 stack every 3 seconds? I’m crossing my fingers that i could be wrong but I wouldn’t be surprised if it only transfers each condition but only 1 stack per tick.

Anyone notice it to be any different in the poi?

So I recently played through the Silverwastes and came across Mordrem Menders. Is it just me or is it really funny that they have stated no trinity, but the enemy gets healers. And tanks (Mordrem Husk Smasher). I realize it is in order to make the enemy feel more complete and like an army but i find it hilarious. We the ones who left the trinity in the dust are getting beaten down by a bunch of plants who decided to take it up.

Not that I agree or disagree with using a trinity in any way I just find it very entertaining that the enemy (mindless plants) are smarter then us civilized folk by using a heal/tank system.

A lot of the unlimited mining/logging axes say same as Orichalcum or just say (cuts all trees). So I doubt they will suddenly make a tree that cant be cut by them. If they did a lot of players that payed gems for the unlimited mining/logging convenience would be upset.

I also have felt a lack of balancing on many aspects of the game. But I still can hope that they do something right? I guess i am just a little lost as to why something like this cant be implemented easily. I mean change a couple stats similar to ones already created like ogre rune(no balancing required as it is already balanced right?) and wammo problem done. Yet there have been multiple threads for stuff like this with no comment whatsoever. But on the bright side most the issues i would like balanced are relatively smaller. (though that would make them easier to fix quickly)

I propose that the sigil of demon summoning get an upgrade. Currently it requires 25 kills to summon a fleshreaver (that looks awesome). But that fleshreaver only lasts 60 seconds and lets be honest can only survive 1-2 hits in a higher zone.
I would like to see this sigil be changed to mirror something like the rune of the ogre/lich/privateer. With a 60-90 second cd and 5-25% chance to summon on hit. That would be awesome because I love the look of the fleshreaver! But at this point is has to be EASILY the worst sigil in the game due to requiring 25 kills for a (1 time) 1-2 hit meatshield. If anyone else has any ideas on how it could be changed in a different way i would love to hear them! Also please thumbs up or just make a post sawing you agree to try and get anet to see this! I’m crossing my fingers because i would love to be using this sigil. Thanks

There have been tons of posts asking this question for years and I have been unable to see any response from the devs on if this will ever happen. Was just wondering if anyone could link the post if there has been one???

Otherwise i would suggest being able to salvage them for ecto/basic mats same as exotics. Or just change the item price to a gold over the 5s it’s at now.

Not a crazy out there topic but something that I think should be addressed and am surprised nothing has been done about.

This would probably be listed under Fractal Rewards but in case you’re going a different direction with it. One question I would like to see added to the list is:
Will we ever be able to salvage for ecto (or vendor for a decent price) the large amounts of extra ascended rings from fractals?

I agree legendaries shouldn’t be sellable and should require actual effort to make. Though some of your requirements might be a little to much for different types of players. The problem is if you have things like lvl 50 fractals and rank 1000 wvw. Suddenly the people focus mainly on one aspect (pvp,pve or wvw) have a ridiculous climb to make. I like the idea of having very difficult feats but if its excluding players just because they don’t love pvp or wvw that seems a little harsh. Not to say you cant have some requirement but an extreme one is a bit much.

I’m personally hoping they have a lot of aspects similar to the luminescent armor and Mawdrey scavenger hunt but just a lot harder to do. With making the finished product account bound being a major selling point for me. At least that’s what i hope happens.
