Guild Wars 2

pets may die easy when there is heavy AOE bombardments but…..
they are annoyingly tanky and deal heavy damage all at the same time to players.
If you do take the time to kill one, it’s useless another one is send to replace it right away.

when the 1st pet dies, there should be a CD before and NOT after you can send in the 2nd one.

The end of PvDoor.

• Doors should only be damaged by rams and ballista.
• Walls should only be damaged by cats and trebs.
• 25% price reduction on siege equipment.

• if for some technical reason structures cannot be made immune to player damage, reduce damage taken from players to 1 dmg.

so easy it’s kind of a facepalm it is not already as such right now in WvW.

this is a conundrum !

they need to find a way to add factions while preserving server identity, unity, plus figure out a way that doesn’t scream the dreaded server consolidation, aka servers are dying aka the game is dying jump ship syndrome.

for factions they’d need to come up with compelling reasons to foster faction loyalty.
while allowing players to switch factions if they so desire

Of course with some degree of difficulty and reprisal, you are essentially a defector and unwanted by anyone till you prove yourself loyal again to whatever faction you choose to represent next.

this is a great opportunity for a.net to bring back the gw1 factions.

kurzick VS luxon and add new ones for example balthazar.

Natronix.9827:

Doesn’t have anything to do with wvw it seems

My guess is WvW will be moving to a faction style system instead of servers sometime in the near future.

imagine,

priory VS vigil VS whispers

pure awesomeness

this doesn’t solve anything.

all it does is limit primetime & off peak time point acquisition while making it possible for some lazies to go to sleep early because they have a virtual protection bubble on their points.

this is like going to vietnam and asking / expecting the enemy to not attack at night because you need your beauty sleep (that’s exactly why they would and should attack you, kill you while you sleep)

or like in the olden days where an invading armies were given time to assemble their troops, set up camps and feed them before a major campaign because it was considered dishonorable to attack them while they were weak from a long voyage at sea (hahahahahaha morons, that’s exactly when you’re suppose to kill them they came to invade you lol)

it’s a 24/7/365 warfront !

I know I’m part of a big server and all that but, I tell you even if I was part of some other lower tier server it would not change anything in my way of thinking.

or….

Are you seriously telling me that if you discovered a serious weakness in your enemy’s forces you wouldn’t attack them there ?

if your answer is NO.

WTH are you doing in WvW ?
mercy is for the weak and feeble during war times !

if you can’t keep up or hold your own I will sacrifice you as bait to the enemy so I can outflank them and kill them all, and all it did cost me is YOU !

war is unfair, so is WvW just as it should be, working as intended.

of course exploits, hacks and the likes is a different matter altogether.
I’m looking at you lord bannering, speed hacks, terrain hacks and other nasty things going on in WvW.

also of note so much complaining yet BG’s TS had been down for who knows how long and well into the beginning of season 2 due to persistent ddos yet I never saw anyone from BG complaining about it.

Kudos for that, BG takes it like a man or woman and simply learns, adapts, responds and then moves to obliterate the enemy.

Carzor Stelatis.9435:

Or just kill the warriors doing the bannering, problem solved. This is like complaining about “all that unstoppable AoE damage” just because you can’t be bothered killing the arrow cart two feet in front of you.

your comparison is flawed.

• How would you feel if an enemy player you killed not just downed gets rezzed by a banner or whatever other skill ?

• you’d be on the forums calling no fair yourself.

• sure in this case it is a NPC lord and not a player but the same limitations should apply as in fully dead cannot be rezzed by banners or whatever skills.

• On the other hand tbh we all know it is a blatant exploit I could care less it benefits me just fine I main warrior in WvW and I’m on Beast Gate

If a.net fixes it fine by me, if not also great I will keep bannering that lord and trolling till they decide to fix it

example of the slippery slope pandora’s box you wish to open:

If you get compensated for having duplicate legendaries
I want to be compensated for having 8x holographic wings (one for each of my toons)

See slippery slope right there.

so

NO

NO compensation.

Tough love but it has to be done.

BandAid.9720:

Just to be fair with players I think ANET should remove soulbind from legendaries
in the game.

oh oh someone didn’t bother to stay up to date before whining :P

AKA

you should stay up to date with current and upcoming changes before posting things like these, really I mean it, do yourself and all of us a favor

Prysin.8542:

Supreme.4051:

From an ethical point of view, is it wrong the let the lord be killed over and over again by the players? It’s modern day torture…

same discussion was brought up on a retirement home my grandmother was institutionalized.
A old man there had a heart problem, and he had been resuscitated 4 times in just a few months due to sudden heart attacks, cramps, arrhythmia and whatnot. He had Alzheimer decease ontop of this, and his nearest of kin had perished before him. He had little left to live for, yet, would it be right to let him die? He was alive, and from time to time, he “lit up” and were able to talk about day to day events, before slowly going back to his old, demented state.

Killing and Reviving the lord is pretty much a simplified version of what i just told you. So let me ask you, should the old man be left to die? Or should the nurses do their best to give him a long life?

that’s a horrible example and has nothing to do with the issue at hand
It was said before during Season 1 as well and the majority agrees that lords should be given the down state ability as long as he is just down but not dead banners should work on him but…….
when he is totally dead as in defeated no amount of banner drop should reverse that.

They’ve given NPC’s down state in PVE before and I find it odd that they would start season 2 with such an obvious exploit still in effect when they have a way to fix this

you people are kittens !

if server pop was based on accounts housed, there would be no prime time or off peak !
use your brains a little,

if it was about how many accounts are created / housed on that server it wold never change status it would always be full (in case of BG) but server status goes up and down depending on what is going on with LS or WvW tourneys, also what about all the people that guest to certain servers ? according to you they do not count towards server status or capacity.

this bullucks about server is based upon accounts created is a myth created by those that do not believe guild wars 2 is so popular yet so casual, they want to make it look as if it is dying so badly they have no choice but to invent this kind of misguided bullucks.

DeeSystm.1256:

Have off hours on your server? Lack zerglings at some point?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/recruitment

all in all this ^^ suggestion seems to be the best one.

all this talk about when you play, where you play from, how many players, and so on.
it’s a 24/7 battle we all know coverage is important so recruit !
and recruit some more for the time periods that you lack players for.

EmoDevo.3209:

Not sure what you are complaining about? This is a PvP Reward Track, so if you’re a PvE player, why do you care about it?

haven’t YOU been paying attention ? there’s no PVP or PVE anymore there’s only gw2 reward system !

Olvendred.3027:

Most of the skins PvP players have are not exactly expensive in PvE. Either you get a million of them as drops and salvage them without a thought, or they’re the incredibly cheap karma skins from heart merchants, or they’re easily accessibly crafted armour. That mostly leaves us with dungeon armour skins, cultural armour, Order armour and maybe one or two others.

Story dungeons: read the blog post again. It doesn’t say you’ll need to run the story dungeon again, though I admit that’s possible. It does, however, say that this is only necessary to unlock every dungeon reward track at once. Whereas the standard will be that there is a dungeon reward track, which everyone (no matter what dungeons they have done) can advance, rotating every 2 weeks. And you can only advance one reward track at a time, anyway, so having all the reward tracks unlocked isn’t actually that big of an advantage.

WRONG !

if you unlock them all, you can choose which one you want active and progressing it all the time.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

So, all of a sudden you want to do PvP and you want all your PvE accomplishments to count towards PvP rewards?

it is NOT about wanting PVP rewards awarded to me ! lol, I still gotta acquire them don’t I ?

it is about the fact I will need to run a kitten load of boring story dungeons to unlock them when I’ve already done so many many times !

it is about this kitten equality that totally forgets about fairness !

you wanna make PVP and PVE equal FINE !

but do NOT forget about the fact PVE players have done this to death already !

the very least you could add is an exception for those with dungeon master title so at least they won’t have to run these boring dungeons just to unlock these new reward tiers.

ever heard of retroactive ?
ever heard of remembering progress already made ?

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

It seems if you were a PvP player, you would welcome the new rewards, even if it did require a bit of extra work. If you were never a PvP player anyway, then what difference does it make if running Story mode is necessary to open Reward tracks?

the difference is: they require PVE players to also ru story mode again !
if you were a PVP player you never played PVE so running story mode seems to apply or for anyone that hasn’t done so a million times already !

The problem is: a lot of people went and got all the dungeons done a long time ago and even went and got the dungeon master title which now means kitten if you’re required to do story mode again !

you’re forgetting all the tomes of knowledge PVP players got from the millions upon millions of glory most of them have, getting to 80 for them is a matter of clicking 80 times.

Both sides have pro’s and cons

But……

invalidating my PVE progress is NOT cool !

Unification:
A.net wants to unify PVP and PVE which is fine by me it’s about time it happened, I was tired of looking like a fresh player everytime I go to the mists.

Equality:
A.net wants the whole population of gw2 to run story mode dungeons all over again to unlock the new reward tiers. but they forget PVP players will have access to tons of skins PVE players will not have from the get go after patch day on the 15th

Fairness:
how about giving credit where credit is due ?
PVP players will start with a ton of skins we PVE players will have to work towards,
while we PVE players will NOT have to run story mode dungeons again to unlock reward tracks That is fairness

Requiring PVE players and specially those with dungeon master titles to run these story mode dungeons again is insulting to say the least, it also totally invalidates our progress

instead of adding value to the title what you’re doing degrades it to the point I ask myself,
Why even bother acquiring the title at all ?

Josh Davis.6015:

You will need to run the dungeons in story mode AFTER the update to permanently unlock the tracks.

^^ this is again what kind of kittenes me off !
why not simply require either to run the story dungeon if you do not have dungeon master title but…………………

if you do have dungeon master title you do NOT need run the kitten story dungeon to unlock the reward tracks.

This is the kind of thing that gives value to such titles but NOOOOOOOOOO !

go run that kitten again is what you say !!!!!

come on !!!!!!

MarkPhilips.5169:

Templates can save the world Chap

A Template System, with suggested build (the op build of the month! ) and a chance to save builds, can be incredibly usefull for pvp/pve/www, everything

We want this in the next feature patch, let’s go with the CDI

They have been aware of templates as a community top priority for a very long time now, also since it is an original gw1 system a lot of people expected it to be in gw2 from the get go or at least a few months down the line, now it’s 2014 and we still don’t have it.

one word comes to mind: frustrating

Embrace The Bold.7619:

How about we make all optional/event legendaries and champs drop 100/50(respectively) dragonite ore. I mean most of hate doing meta events right? Why not fix two problems at once? It would make pugs want to do stuff like kohler/cave troll and those of us who kill these bosses anyway now get a nice reward. What do you think? Obviously Anet would have to balance the numbers accordingly, but as long as it stays fairly high it would work.

robertul.3679:

Even 25 is far too much for an optional boss. I think 10 would be pretty fair.

I also support this optional bosses drop dragonite ore idea.

Seerstrange.4723:

You have to make it worth peoples time, I for one would still skip extra bosses if they dropped 10 ores…

I would totally stop skipping these optional bosses if they dropped dragonite ore but…..
like seerstrange said I would keep skipping them if it was a mere miserable 10 ore.

• for example, the troll in AC is one of the most annoying bosses to kill in a pug situation and it takes time since he has such high toughness, I would not stop to kill it for less than 25 dragonite ore.
• Kohler is easy to kill but still many pugs fail at it costing time, as such I would not stop to kill him for less than 20 dragonite ore.

already asked for it myself, not that they will listen

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/audio/The-WvW-queue-NEEDS-A-SOUND-EFFECT/first#post3832975

as if I wasn’t already checking that screen for hours !!!
you kitten !!!

I lost hours of my kitten time because the queue popped and I was away from my monitor for like 10 seconds after waiting for 2 kitten hours.

Will you please add a sound effect to the queue when it pops, please for the love of all that is kitten holy !!!

Tell him it’s a pay once play it for life kind of game.

and also this is one of the best reviews out there.

1 week after launch when people started doing dungeons most parties were naked by the time they reached the end boss of AC.
if you had a repair bill higher than 11s you were actually losing money instead of making some by doing the dungeon

when you 1st got it (the lucky few of us that is) you could choose which armor class you wanted it for, so with the wardrobe I’d imagine it will be w/o armor class meaning can be applied to any armor type just like zenith skins.

What I’m amazed at is the fact you kept talking to the doosh kitten
the block feature is your friend use it !

had you done so you would not need to bother with him ever again period.
you’d have no lasting bad taste in your mouth and all you’d lose is a bit of time.

Was he rude ? yes !
is it a bannable offense ? no, I don’t think so.
Why ? it was a private chat, he wasn’t rude to you on any public channel and you kept replying to him as such and on grounds of private communications, no he should not be punished, though you should’ve just blocked him and be done with it.

I have been playing since launch and my block list is almost as long as my friends list
as a consequence I rarely get into these kinds of situations anymore.

Heck I don’t even bother reading map or say chat aside from one map FGS for zerg location info.

You’re right Indigo I was changing that as you typed

hmmm, ok that’s also a good idea, tackle the problem from the other side of the spectrum.

how about Soul Walk for a state name after defeated ?

in which your soul leaves your body and cannot be ressed forcing you to wait for o.o.c and waypoint.

After the april 15th patch:

• There’s no armor repair cost anymore.
• There’s no trait reset cost anymore.

Bad play needs to have some kind of consequence / danger / cost associated with it somehow,
or people will not bother to improve.

How about:

• adding a resurrection cool down ?
  edited to place the burden on the ressed player rather than the one doing the ressing

• when you are ressed from down state, you cannot be ressed again for the next say 15 seconds
• when you ARE ressed from total death, you cannot be ressed again for the next say 30 seconds

EDIT

• if you are ressed twice from down state within 1 minute, the cool down goes up by 5 sec. each time you are ressed afterwards.
• if you are ressed twice from total death within 1 minute, the cool down goes up by 10 sec. each time you are ressed afterwards.

This would keep the danger / consequence awareness present, keep everyone on their toes instead of the I don’t care attitude of having no consequences / danger / cost whatsoever.

Deamhan.9538:

I’ve notice there is a split between the player base. Some want the trinity style returned, others do not.

• NO, there’s no split, only the majority VS the minority, the majority being the ones that do NOT want that kitten restrictive system in gw2.

• if you miss the trinity so much there are a million and one other games you could be playing instead of gw2, so why do you keep trying to change one of the few games out there that does NOT use that kitten system into the one millionth and two ?

• You’re still playing gw2 so there is obviously something that you like a lot about this game and you probably wish some other trinity based game had, to bad but, I don’t want that system in gw2 and many others think along these lines as well.

everything after that 1st line I just tuned it out, it was all yada yada trinity yada yada whine to me

Kraag Deadsoul.2789:

To The Elder Scrolls Online, Wildstar, and any other MMOs coming out soon, I want to say a huge THANK YOU !!! Your collective pending releases have done more to finally get ArenaNet to start making improvements to Guild Wars 2 than all the forum posts combined over the past 19 months. Keep up the good work and lets hope we see even more improvements in GW2 in the coming months.

BEINGHUMAN.4167:

It’s a shame that we had to wait for other competition to come along and get ArenaNet to release some impactful/lasting content.

LoL’s you make it sound as if they started coding all of these features yesterday.

Get real !

A lot of these changes / features had been requested for a very long time on these very forums.

The fact is, it takes coding time, testing time, retouch time plus bug fixing time to implement changes and systems of this magnitude.

They have probably been working on these features for quite some time, but couldn’t divulge anything about them before they were ready enough to actually talk about them.

Did those sorry excuses for modern mmorpg’s (ESO & WS) play a role ? YES

But, don’t make it out to be as if a.net went (oh kitten ESO and WS are around the corner let’s quickly give the community what they asked us for 16 months ago in the forums)

Azure Prower.8701:

Latinkuro.9420:

• some people will complain no matter what goodness a.net gives them !
• a,net could give them 100g for dungeon completion and some would still complain jeesh !
• haters gonna hate and complainers gonna complain !

100 gold is meaningless if the economy is out of whack.

and the gold is NOT the point, the point is people like these will NEEEVERRR be happy they will always find something to complain about, even if you take them to heaven they’d complain that it is to peaceful there

• some people will complain no matter what goodness a.net gives them !
• a,net could give them 100g for dungeon completion and some would still complain jeesh !
• haters gonna hate and complainers gonna complain !

As the title says,

Sometimes I find myself liking the left shoulder of one set and the right shoulder of a different set.

It would be awesome to have the ability to mix and match different styles to create your own mix.

As such I propose to split left and right shoulder armor into individual pieces.

Thank you.

• My point being that having a permanent 10% damage boost is nice
• sigil of the night only works during the night.
• a lot of fractals and some dungeons are categorized as day time.
• as such it would be a good idea to also have a day time sigil with +10% dmg during the day.

Crafting is not in general a good way to make money.

T7 deldrimor steel, elonian leather and bolt of damask strongly object to your opinion
not to mention those T7 insignias and inscriptions that sell for 50g+ each

Now at what point in my GW2 career will I understand a single thing you just said?

• once you get through the leveling process.
• once you get through the exploration experience.
• once you get through the awe inspiring sceneries.
• once you find yourself not saying: uh I did not know that to often.
• once you start wanting to earn loads of gold to acquire all your desired shinies.

xsquared.1926:

I made this gif just for this thread.

My favorite part is that it has the Temple Armor skin still, indicating that it’s either PTV or some other bunkery set of armor.

My heart dies a little everytime I see that armor skin in a dungeon PUG.

ummm, you have heard of transmutations stones have you ?

This needs to be stickied

Major kudos to the OP.

and sure I am interested / curious about the universe and all that but no, I’m no scientist as such I’m sadly not prevue to all the latest of the latest info (jealous)

I do firmly believe however that there is life on other distant planets, actually finding them and meeting them is another matter.

wow, it was a joke kind of thing wink wink.

I love gw2 the way it is.

I’m not a fan of flagged PVP but I do have to say your idea sounds very interesting

Lilith Ajit.6173:

maxinion.8396:

Nokaru.7831:

So I’ve been reading a lot more about quantum physics and parallel universes and it made me wonder: What would happen if there’s another version of our world where spreading out is the optimal way to defeat enemies and killing all creatures is also the quickest/efficient way to do dungeons? Do you think there would be massive amounts of threads promoting “stacking and skipping for funzies!” on their forums?

Thankfully that’s not how quantum physics works, so I don’t have to worry about this!

+1 for actual knowledge of quantum mechanics.

if you view it from a string theory POV where there are an infinite number of strings ( parallel universes ) in which anything that can happen has happened, every time you decide to go left in some other universe you decided to go right or even backwards.

in that case,

• there exists a universe where gw2 launched with the holy trinity and people keep nagging for them to abolish it.
• yet in some other universe gw2 launched as a p2p game with a cash shop and is doing rather well.
• in some other universe gw2 never launched and a.net created winds of change as a true next gen gw1 expansion that added action combat and jumping to gw1

Locuz.2651:

- What could happen as well is that they make all items account bound instead of soulbound in some cases.

that makes sense, since having alts is kind of pointless with all the account wide stuff going on in the game and some of the high level aesthetic stuff is grindy as hell to get, having them be account bound instead would be awesome indeed.

what I wish for is a bag you equip on your character that is accessible to all characters so I can place all my account wide tonics, salvage o matic and whatever else in there, and not have to worry about transferring them from character to character all the time if decide to play a specific character more than others.

Woulv.4392:

I know mounts wont come out any time soon, but I want to make a list of mounts that us players would love! Here are my suggestions, hope they can be realised :P
nb: the “flying” mounts don’t actualy fly, just like the flying broom doesn’t fly

flying carpet(different colors) NO (this is not aladdin or alibaba)
cloud (white and stormy) NO (this is not DBZ)
whatchwork moa NO
giant cat NO (seriously)
go-cart NO
(most of the ranger pets) SOME YES SOME NO
electic wheelchair NO (WTF)
rolerskates NO
skateboard NO
hoverboard NO (this is not back to the future nor wildstar !!!)

EDIT

The day they start heavily breaking the lore with crap like that it’s the day I stop playing

Trice.4598:

The only way I can see trash being worth killing is if Anet implemented a point system that reward bonus drop/exp at the end depending on the point you accumulate killing mobs.

Now there is an interesting idea

if there was such a point system, we would have a lot less skipping / speed running and a lot more killing to get those scores higher so we can earn better loot at the end.

problem is a.net suffers from marginal reward syndrome

meaning the bonus reward would be along the lines of more blue / green useless scraps.

what happens next ?

every speed runner goes back to skipping and speed running

Deamhan.9538:

The whole ‘taking class restrictions off weapons and armor’ sound familiar….oh that’s right ESO. Could it be that what finally got ANet to move is direct competition?

this might be awesome, I could have a dual dagger warrior or a great sword thief or a dual pistol guardian

I also assume they would not have the same skills as the original profession that employs those weapons.

We have sigil of the night for night time dungeons /fractals but….

how about also implementing a sigil of the day for day time dungeons / fractals.

Now that would be cool.
