The entire Tyria could be ours to explore!!! Freely.. no barriers, no level restrictions.. it would be great. Elder Scrolls Online has the model of level scaling that I am speaking of , the “One Tamriel” system that brings all levels to a standard of equality. Bosses and other tiered enemies.. would be the same for all levels.. same level of difficult challenge and fun! Combat and exploration go hand-in-hand for me…. in Guild Wars 2, SWTOR, and Elder Scrolls Online! It is fun to fight while exploring, and if this superior form of level scaling were made, it would allow groups of players to explore together .. friends, guild members, or you could explore alone perhaps……. to explore and fight through the galaxy of hostiles!!! I think it would be a great change. I hope ArenaNet takes notice.
Yea after you exped up to 80 you can explore anywere since we got level descaling.
Or I will vote to kick you and, if the other people in party are agree with me and they do no think l am kicking you just because I want to troll you without a reason, you will be kicked.
Enjoy your food.
Yea and if you vote kicked the leader the instance closed for everyone. ( enjoy your wasted time, and thats why it was changed to not have party leader)
And what about the necros that dont use pets etc, should be a general thing thats base for the class. ( similar to the elementalist, guardian and revenant ones.)
What else is signaturive? the wells? or maybe they get a different shroud skin that’s more evil?
Yea diffrent shroud colours could work since all necros will have shroud
Didn’t we used to have ‘Leaders’ in instances, and the forums were full of laments about 1 person having too much power? I don’t remember, but there was some reason that mechanic was changed.
Marks might be feasible, I don’t know.
It is unlikely this thread will be singled out for special ‘Dev attention’, but…
Good luck.
Yes that and Im going to take a food break be back in 40 mins wait or finish without me I get rewarded regardless.
And what about the necros that dont use pets etc, should be a general thing thats base for the class. ( similar to the elementalist, guardian and revenant ones.)
My personal opinion is that challenging content should be rewarded with more impressive loot than less challenging content.
The people who begged Anet for challenging content claimed that it was the challenge itself they wanted, so therefore the challenge is the better reward.
(those people were lying, of course, as seen by their reactions in topics like this. They don’t care about the challenge, they just want something they can lord over the “unwashed masses”)
First, there are lots of different types of people raiding, including many that were against raiding originally. Lots of people care more about the challenge than the rewards; the shinies are just an excuse to keep going sometimes.
Regardless, it wasn’t raiders who decided to put gate all GW2 legendary armor behind raids; that’s entirely on ANet. Now that it’s there, ANet doesn’t have all that many alternatives.
Keep things the way they are and hope critics become less cranky over time.
Add non-raiding alternatives to getting L-Armor, and create an entire new group of cranky people over the fact that they removed a significant & unique reward from raids.
Add the non-raiding alternatives *and invent a new significant & unique reward for raiders. That, too, will generate crankiness plus it’s a heckuva lot of work.*
I think they were foolish to think that making L-Armor raid exclusive was going to go over well with non-raiders, a group they knew would be the majority of players. But having made that decision, I don’t really see that it’s easy for them to go back and change it and leave the community better off than we are now.
I dont see why you need an and on your third choice there, the raiders will still have their fancy exclusive skin/legendary armor so they are not losing a reward and hence dont need to gain another.
After having to do x2-4x work ( legendary armor for WvWvW, spvp and regular pve) maybe anet learns to not lock a gear functionality behind 1 kind of content that cant be completed by everyone.
The thing in the brackets are typed in order of most important to least, since WvWvW really lack rewards atm and anyone can do it given time. Spvp and pve already got the backpacks so less important there and pve got the weapons making it the last priorty.
Ofcourse Raids and WvW should get their backpacks sometime in the future aswell.
Is it balanced? Doesn’t seem like it to me, given how other skill types have been implemented. So I’d support ANet taking a second look.
All the same, I think you’d have better luck turning this into a suggestion rather than presenting it as a rant about something that isn’t clearly a bug.
Ranger spirits once behave like the trap cooldown. The ranger would summon spirits and run around the map meanwhile the spirit cooldown time will reset and if the spirit died, then you could summon another spirit of the same type. Of cource anet patched it because it was a bug.
The same thing is happening with traps. It is an exploit that needs a fix fast.
A group of 5 guardians place 5 traps each on a point, if someone comes they will be hit with a total of 50 traps.
If that is not an exploitable game play then what is it?
No you would get hit by 25 traps and then another 25 if you dont move away before they are armed.
I dont mean one of the “training runs” where one or two knowledgeable raiders tries to run herd on a group of 8 or 9 novices, but rather an organized group opening up a spot or two for learners and taking it slow enough to really explain things along the way.
You’re correct, that’s a better way from the perspective of the learner. I figure the main issue would be to find a solid “core” team of experienced players which have openings and don’t mind accepting a new player and helping him out.
Agreed. That’s why creating incentives that go beyond merely trying out that content is a bad idea, unless the appeal of those incentives doesn’t really reach beyond that content.
Again, existing legendaries all go much beyond merely trying out content. Want The Ascension? Grind a lot of PvP. Want Ad Infinitum? Play tons of fractals. Want a legendary weapon? Map-complete Tyria, then grind a WvW reward track. Want a gen 2 legendary? Map-complete HoT, then grind every map to get the required materials.
There must be an incentive to revisit content you’ve tried. In this game, legendaries have always been such an incentive. And it has worked.
Unless/until the policy is changed (it was instituted due to player feedback), Armor sets will be available from in-game content, and Outfits from the Gem Store (with a very few exceptions).
Good luck.
Yes and how many full armor sets have they released since they got that feedback?
For the instanced content, yes I’d agree. The LFG tool is definitely useful, but sometimes if I want to run a dungeon, there’s simply no one else in LFG doing that dungeon. I don’t want to wait around for lengthy periods of time trying to wait for others so I can enjoy the content I’d like to enjoy.
I’d love to have an option to start a dungeon with henchmen, but advertise on LFG while I get started. If people join, I could kick out a henchman and replace it with the real person. If we were lucky, more people would join and one by one the henchmen would be kicked out as we progressed.
I wonder why that is though, content such as dungeons should always have players forming groups to run. In GW1, you could always always always see players forming groups for dungeons, Fissue of Woe, Underworld, speedclear farms, outpost running, hardmode clearing, etc. It’s so odd GW2 is having this type of problem when GW1 never had it.
Not really that odd its unsupported content, alot of people got all they wanted from the dungeons since anet havent added any new rewards for them.
Or they just spvp/wvwvw to get to weapon & armor skins.
Hate this argument because i know a lot of players like me that have a job, a wife AND kids, and still can raid normally.
If you have time to play the game you have time to raid, stop blamming your job/family as the reason you cant raid.
Those kids and wife (or husband) deserve better then.
I agree! Well said.
Yes because if you spend 2 hours farming SW you are not forsaking your family, but god forbid you raid for 30 mins you are a terrible human being and should be ashamed /s
Playing open world content is using ones own time, doing raiding is using other peoples time. Its not the same.
Playing for 1 hour is playing for 1 hour no matter what you doing, If you can play one hour in SW you can raid, if you dont is your choice not because your family dont allow it.
If you look at it that way then you fail to understand my point. The hour isn’t the same because one is your time and the other hour is other peoples time. In other words a hour of my own time I can stop what I’m doing in the game to do other important things or I might have to stop all together abruptly. It doesn’t infringe upon anyone else. Were as with other peoples time you cant do this. You can’t just tell a group of people who expect you to be there and depend on you, that you are going afk for a extended period of time. Its disrespectful and selfish.
You dont go afk, you just say " Hey guys something happened, i got to go, thx for the run" and then you leave the group and do the stuff you need to do. There, problem solved. See thats how every adult raid, they go raid when they find a group and if something happens irl they just leave the group.
Yea and then next time you come to raid ( and someone from that other raid is there) then your kicked since we cant trust you to stay untill we are done.
Why “raid people” has to get anything “special” for them? Because raids are hard? Why isn’t there something special for people who discover JP routes, then? Or for people who do the “ironman mode”? Or for good WvW commanders? There are lots of hard tasks in the game, some I would argue harder than raiding. Why are raiders treated with such privilege?
Completing JPs awards achievements and titles.
“Ironman” and “being a good commander” are not game systems.
Ironman is a system that Anet could quantify and I’d be all for there being special rewards for that.
“Being a good commander” isn’t something Anet can exactly quantify but the WvW rewards systems in place do in fact have mechanisms to reward effective WvW play. That’s why they revamped WvW rewards.
Being the fist to complete a piece of content is something they could quantify with specific rewards, but those systems are a bad use of resources because unlike raids, those rewards could only ever be gained once by a single person, unlike raids or dungeons or high level fractals which are sitting there waiting to be taken on and completed by every player regardless of when they join the game.
Well since Jp awards achievements and titles + a box with 2 blues and a green shouldent raid award achievements and titles + a box with 2 yellows and a orange then?
btw, I have a question, other than the skins, what value would legendary armor have in PvP?
if you unlock just the skins, rather than the legendary functioning item, then I’m all okay for a much simpler acquisition method.
Thats all and good for Spvp but large scale pvp aka WvWvW you need the reverse.
I am having this exact issue. I bought the game in 2014 and registered it immediately. I did not login or play until recently. I have never been a free account. But I cannot send mail with attachments. I can receive mail. I can take attachments. I can send mail without attachments. But every time I try to send mail with any attachment, I am kicked to the Character Selection screen with Code: 1022:5:1:876:101. I submitted both a Bug Report and Support ticket. I hope this one is figured out soon!
Yes you have to actualy play the game for the lock to vanish, I belive it was 5 days of play .
Well honestly seeing the skins I dont mind them being tied to raids, let us craft blank legendary armor pieces and skin them ourselfs in other game modes bam easy to implement.
Edit
Would be quite funny, I mean since greatsword got 3 already and a fourth in the making whats stoping them from making a second axe you can fuse with astralia
Were not talking about people with multiple armor sets clogging their bags but instead one set of armor compared to another set of armor. The argument I’m hearing is that pvp players need several armors to equal to one set of legendary armor. That sort of odd statement in itself proves my statement and if its the person is going to need countless sets of ascended armor to stay competitive I’d say your only fooling yourself and probably wish for the death of pvp. People reading those kind of comments aren’t going to like those kind of remarks at all.
Why do pvp players need several armor sets? Have you ever played pvp? And more important yet, do you know how the stats work in pvp? Please learn about pvp before saying these arguments.
You do know that wvw=pvp and Spvp=pvp right?
If people talk about pvp with armors its not Spvp since its lacking the big S S S S S infront of it.
Yup however its not so much the armor as the things you can do during the rdy check window. You can swap whatever during that time frame and lets say for some reason you expect your team is lacking in condi damage then swap around everything for that purpose and click the ready check. Hence even in Spvp people have multiple sets of armor. If your team composition changes you should always adjust.
No is or to my knowledge has ever argued about the stats because their all the same across the board since launch regardless of armor. If your going in there with one pair of static armor compared to someone who can adjust their stats and runes on the fly then your at a disadvantage. If I see your name and I know your build I’m going to counter it in the next match with different stat combinations, runes, and build.
Then again I don’t pvp anymore after s5 its gotten too lopsided my chrono shouldn’t have such a big advantage over people just because they didn’t own HoT. There are numerous issues but some people quit because they couldn’t keep up with the elites and people like me quit because shooting fish in a barrel is boring. Whether my opponent is a Chrono like my main or a basic Mesmer they should provide equal challenge in any pvp environment.
Also more importantly my comment about armor sets was in reply to another person who said multiple armor sets would be equal to leg armor in a pvp. Which is true however multiple of anything in order to equal out isn’t ideal for anything a 1 -1 comparison is how things are balanced.
Yes the person you repiled to was talking about carrying around multiple sets in WvWvW.
I have no clue about the first part of your post… You do know that spvp your armor is only cosmetic can you can switch around all stats by switching amulet and then chose weapon and sigils…. so no reason at all to change armor that you seem to point out.
Edit
So no your not going to counter my build since I may have switched everything around aswell.
No, it doesn’t work. It either gives me an error, or keeps sending me back to the login page. I swapped from Chrome and Explorer, both similar results.
I just changed my email address, and after that I can’t access support.
You cant change your email mate only support can do that for you

They have added a couple of things for JC’s, such as glass mugs production, but it’s hard to come up with useful post-exotic items a JC can make that isn’t easier to get by many other game methods, given how woven into everything the ascended trinkets have become. Auras would be an interesting thing, if for example there is some way to craft an item that can be forged with an ascended trinket to imbue an aura.
On a side note — I almost completely blocked out your post’s constructive part due to the use of “make x great again,” which is a phrase fairly well guaranteed to annoy the heck out of about half the population (judging by news reports). It certainly grates on my nerves every time I see it used. I will gently suggest that perhaps it is an unwise addition to a post meant to garner positive responses.
dont hype yourself up, wait for anet to release info and dubble/tripple it like always…. then qq that they dident implement what you told yourself they said.
You’re asking for the one thing ArenaNet swore they would never implement into this game – a gear treadmill.
They have said many times that the current ascended power level is as strong as armor will ever be – and that was definitely the right decision.
Character progression will come from new masteries and elite specializations, not from adding a few points to power or crit rating every so often.
he asks for more stat type if he asked for better gear why would he ask for exotics?
Yes but he also ask for them to have better stats, so level 81+ exotics, ascended next expac
Quote
I know that developers are working on the Legendary Gear but Gw2 should.. also release new Exotic and Ascended armor every Expansion with better statistics than the previous ones. /end quote
If you read that as better stat prefixes then please tell me what will be better then berserker/assassin for pure power specs?
I would at least appreciate a secure simultaneous trading option. Besides that everything OP said is kinda crazy and pointless.
Well cant get more secure then the trading post mate.
ask the buyer to put in a buy order for the correct price and accept that buy order.
I just mean even if you do something like that you have to still dig through the UI to do it plus since it’s open somebody else can either fill that order before your trade partner can put theirs through etc.
I wouldn’t even mind if it was something without gold input and rudimentary so people could at least trade mats between each other and whatnot. It would be easy to just use certain mats as a currency substitute and a lot already are like that.
I just dislike that if you go to do a mail transaction the other person can just be like “hah, nah, ty for your stuff >:P” when you get nothing in return. Yeah I know you can just say “well don’t trade with those people” but the point is you never know who those people are and stuff. Even if that isn’t the case somebody can promise to trade you after doing something then never answer back until a week later or something saying “it was an accident sorry.”
It isn’t much to ask for a simple scam proof private trading window is it?
You can through guild bank.
Edit
Scam proof we already have trading post, you could trade in gw1 and even tho you had to accept twice people still got scamed by other ppl trading similarly iconed stuff that was wortless instead of the high price one they wanted.
Eh, I’d rather not see what happened to SB what happened to LB with DH (superior to LB Ranger just about every way, and it was supposed to be a signature weapon for Ranger).
Anet plz just rethink Ranger’s SB and make Thief’s SB more than just a utility weapon.
Dont worry Ranger will shine again when we get Rifle.
or pistol according to leaks
Much rather have mace so we hopefully get a aa main hand that dont simulate a leaping frog.
