Guild Wars 2

Yes and also lock them into just one element just like necro deathshroud so you go in as fire elemental your that and only that + give them weapon swap to another set and attunment giving them a reason to have 2 core lines.
So you can only be a duo of fire earth air water and somehow arcane aswell

its hardcore to map complete now gosh I must be getting old.

CrassBippy.4619:

you guys dont understand the point hes making, and i kind of agree. in WvW swiftness is required, if you dont have swiftness you better just hide in a blob because youre dead otherwise. Basically EVERYONE who roams or havocs etc will have perma swiftness. So if everyone is basically required to have it in order to fight in WvW, whats the purpose of it anymore?

By having swiftness baseline, it opens up more build variety/weapon variety.

No it do not as othe have already stated people would want a new swiftness making the whole thing moot, maybe best just remove it if you feel its required.

I thought they ate mushrooms and had an uncontrolable rage ignoring their own survival, must have missed the sex fiends in my history class.

Aleksandr.8634:

Then i wish it to be added. I think that there are some people who don’t play PvP, WvW because of afraid to be beaten for one sec. (lack of experience)

and thats what practice mode is for.

I agree, I was suggesting GW2 as the next game for my fc, but most didn’t like the idea because they would have to buy the game before even trying it. :/

At the risk of sounding like an old man, I gotta say this just baffles my mind. I remember back when all we got was the box art, some screenshots on the back, and maybe a review in a magazine to base our purchasing decisions on.

Oh, also barging into the home of friends who already have the game, eating all their food, and backseat driving as we watch them play. Good times, good times.

Yea I like this idea, Misa you have the game invite your fc and have a game night let them try it and you might get them to play.

Soren.9316:

Its just random. Lots have been playing almost 3 yrs now and haven’t got a precursor. It’s just luck of the draw. Heck I’ve been doing Teq 7 days a week for 2 yrs and still have not got a teq hoard =p Just the luck of the draw sadly

Atm Im saving up to 100 exotic chests from teq and will open em when i have that(got 91 now)

Hope I will see something from it.

Erasmus.1624:

Actually, wait, no, Kheo’s point is also mostly invalidated.

The only place where people would really, REALLY want absolutely permanent swiftness would be the PvE overworld. In the PvE overworld, numbers and the general lack of HP sponges compared to instanced areas make it so investing into permanent swiftness is almost not really a drawback. What’s stopping that ranger from bringing warhorn and shouts if the GS autoattack will just gib plenty of enemies effectively enough (so long as the player is at least wearing zerker, but then why wouldn’t that be the case)?

In WvW, the fact that player numbers aren’t balanced by limiting constraints, zergs will always have permanent swiftness. Roaming players will either build to include some swiftness or just opt for a +25% movement speed bonus (which I have already mentioned). PvP maps are small enough that permanent swiftness isn’t necessary given that just using any swiftness skill is enough to carry a player the majority (if not all) of the distance between any two given points. Dungeons can easily be done without an emphasis on swiftness.

You seem to think you can have the cake and eat it aswell, but you cant and you even
answer your question all the time you have to give up a trait that lock you in to certain weapons dual daggers for necro, meaning if you want dagger/warhorn aswell your locked to melee range, if you dont go for a passive signet but then you lose one of the wells you want in said melee range. ( or have to take the speed in deathshroud and lock yourself down to a specific trait line)

Its not effortless to have base 125 on any class you have to sacrifice something else.
Guardians only got 1 weapon and 2 shouts with swiftness locking them down even further, dont get me started on the poor pre hot mesmers.

xarallei.4279:

They aren’t bringing back dungeons. Those are toast. 5 man content is fractals. That’s what Anet is going to continue to support. And of course whatever the challenging group content is, but I highly doubt that’s going to be 5 man dungeons. More likely to be a raid of some type if anything.

I think the problem with Fractals, is that there is limited attraction to them, due to the whole AR thing.

As people who don’t craft (or don’t craft, yet) know they can only do low level ones, because they will hit an AR wall.

When you know there is something beyond a wall, that you can’t access without doing something you don’t wish to do (or do, yet), it tends to put you off the entire thing.

Whereas, dungeeons feel like they should be something anyone can do.

Even if, in reality, that is not necessarily the case (due to the whole meta/elitism/lack of queue system thing).

Kimyrielle.3826:

Gosh, I hope it’s not raids. I am not aware of any game where raiding hasn’t caused endless drama in its community. To be honest, the “challenging group content” announcement is scaring the hell out of me that GW2 might become just yet another endgame focused MMO after all. Dungeons – I am not opposed to getting more of then, but I can’t say I overly like the existing ones. Maybe if they are different enough from the old ones. Less gimmick fights, more fun.

Big, open-to-all, LFR-style raids don’t need to be elitist, though.

I’m envisaging a more challenging, PVE-only version of EOTM, here.

There are no lack of que its just not automated, you have to get off your butt and create/join the groups yourself. Reason why you see so many meta/elitism there is becouse they are very specific in what they want and take time to fill do a all welcome group and watch it get filled quickly. ( could however be hard getting people for story instances since most people only play those once to unlock spvp track and ability to open explore mode)

No you cant.

iSushiRoll.9041:

Thanks for the reply, how considerate, but lol I know you guys would say that. Its just that the money I have are from different relatives xd.

Then maybe you should wait so you can buy ultimate when you can afford it or be happy with your basic hot upgrade ( since you wont get hot ultimate afterwards and its basicly just a 50% off the 4.000 gems you get with it, making it the better value for raw cash) ofcourse you can still farm gold and upgrade to deluxe for ingame gold getting the fluff items later… I would however wait with it, untill they boost the deluxe to drag in even more players about a year after hot release.

A lot of peopke keep saying that anet said that Elite specs provide an entirely new role for the class. I cant seem to find an interview that states this. All I can find is them saying that it provides new ways to utilize previous mechanics. I don’t think they ever excluded making elite specializations that cover similar areas that the regular profession already has. Look at the herald it has a lot of support, base revenant already has support with both ventari and jalis. The herald is just a new way to support.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxLkfXwxLTs

36:42 sometimes its that easy mate.

Thank you. Didn’t know I would have to find a point 37 mins into a video that was quite easy. But thanks for the response. Also he doesn’t say that there so… maybe you should watch the video lol. Colin says “grows it into something new” and “new profession mechanics that fundamentally change how the ranger plays”. That is really vague and doesn’t exclude giving tempest a more melee support focused role. They did change how the profession mechanics fundamentally work. Actually isnt that one of the largest criticisms of the tempest that you now don’t switch your attunements every second and now it is the complete opposite of how you’re “suppose” to play ele.

Sounds like they are doing just that giving you a entierly new way to play said class.

First you say anet dident say the would give a new role with elite specs and then turn around and say elementalists are unhappy since they got a new way/role to play their class.

Can you make up your mind please.

I think you can have unlimited but if you relog or change maps all but 4 will get automaticly opened in your inventory

Mitch.4781:

Linken.6345:

Well we dont really have the same dungeons per say 1 path was changed, frw-up in twilight arbor was changed out in favor of aetherblade path.

Scraps from the table though eh?

That is true but we shouldent run with half truths incase someone take what people say hook line and sinker.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

I guess it’s because it’s not to test how you play the game day to day but to play the game in such a manner as to find bugs and to see where the new profession or the new set of skills is lacking.

Yea I mean should the people who only login for daily login rewards test how they usualy play aswell?

or it could be that people actualy want to play condi builds due to them being buffed alot and not subpar anymore
( so people are crafting and making a profit on Superior Rune of Tormenting)

Feral.3609:

To address you both at once, I wasn’t talking about diminishing returns per say (although this is probably what people may have been talking about at launch where some accounts had diminishing returns all the time; something I think my account has); more that some accounts may have a bugged level of any sort of return. I.E. incapable of finding any drops.

Although according to your responses it seems you’re suggesting it’s all luck based entirely and therefore I’m just really unlucky xD

If by “incapable of finding any drop” means zero drops at all not even trophys and white gear then yes you should talk to support.

If its only a rant of not finding exotics, rares and precursors then thats entirely luck based after you got all the daily boss chests above mini map for the day.

No its not since its made to be only the pets you have selected over water and under, can have names.

Well we dont really have the same dungeons per say 1 path was changed, frw-up in twilight arbor was changed out in favor of aetherblade path.

Sylent.3165:

Why the heck is op name a serial code? Or is it a massive glitch that came up for me

nope some player have that bug and they can get their account renamed some dont want to rename tho

they could add a disclaimer like they did in gw1 that you were playing in old story so old areas that might not be used anymore

Zalladi.4652:

There is nothing stopping you from saving up $100 over time. Instead of buying the standard edition, save that $50 until you have enough to save a further $50 and buy the Ultimate.

I reckon the expansion won’t be coming for at least another 2 months.

As a side note, you technically can upgrade to the Deluxe with money; by purchasing gems with real money and using those to upgrade through the gem store.

And if your buying gems anyway you should save up and buy the ultimate so ask for a refund on your standard mate

Many, millions, thousands it could just aswell be few, very few or you.
(the last one unlikely since this is the interwebs)
Since your the only one bringing up this in my humble oppinon not even a problem.

You got even more chars then me I got 8, if I run out of space on the main for the day I transport it to heart of the mist sell and bank there then poff back out were I was.

Dawdler.8521:

Envy.1679:

i have about 15 stacks of salvage kits

Where are you farming, in the middle of Antarctica? 1 good kit for rares and 5 basics is enough to last even the most hardcore WvWer until the next time he see a merchant.

There I just saved you 9 slots. If you get the copper salvager you save 13 slots.

Why you need 20 stacks of sigils is beyond me, those can probably be optimised down to a dozen various weapons for different situations.

And could switch out all those sigils for a sigil of force thats another 20 slots

If this thing is coming anywere its legendary armor as other have stated.
Or ascended equipment x3 with a heavy gold value item in the 4th slot

Yes but nr1 point is the entier reason p2 p3 even exist mate so thats why people only reply to that one

You already have a auto run button that and wsad is all you need to keep up with fellow players while you use your mouse to manage inventory

I can’t use the autorun and mouse to steer when I am talking on chat. Follow button is still useful.

Of course you can, just type when you’re numlocked on a long stretch of straight road.

That, or type a little, steer with mouse, type a little, steer, repeat. I do it all the time just fine.

Or, implement the QoL feature that will make this less of a hassle.

A QoL feature that make anet able to ban 1 of up to a 150 bot accounts since only one of them run the botting program and the rest just follow that person.

No its a bad idea mate go back to the drawing board.

I also like the goalpost moving btw, started about following while manageing inventory something you can already do as I pointed out. Then all of a sudden you had to type while moving and i assume still manage inventory at the same time right?

I guess at some point you have to figure out do I stop for afew seconds to manage inventory or not. ( you could also get the ones you have to type to on a teamspeak to avoid that hassle aswell )

Funny thing is that no one will need it by the time it ever gets in.

That is true,

Person one “I got my self legendary armor, bye bye Zojja armor!”
Person two “Set to Zurker?”
Person one"yes……"
Person two “so……. That was a wast of gold then”

It wouldn’t because you can get access to every other stats.

I can wear soldier armor in WvW if I feel like playing a frontliner.

Yea legendary armor would totaly help this one person complaning since s/he only play elementalist and jump bettwen dungeon, wvw, fractals and open world pve every 5-20 mins he need armor/trinkets weapons with him/her all the time so it takes up 90 out of his 100 slots already.

So your asking for rewards that will be used for farming instead of..

Speed boost only in none pve citys cant be used for farming.
Revive speed on everyone increased cant be used in farming but will make sure people start reviving the downed and dead more often, so no use in farming.
Crafting boost cant be used in farming but you will be able to level crafts faster removing materials from the economy instead of adding like farming would do.
Auto loot he only thing that can be used in farming but its just a quality of life feature.

You already have a auto run button that and wsad is all you need to keep up with fellow players while you use your mouse to manage inventory

Feirlista Xv.1425:

Just remember there is a time delay for new accounst to transfer items and gold through the mail system so if you decide to start a new account you will have to wait, no sure how long it is but I think is a few days if not at least a week.

Only if s/he wanted to move stuff from that new account tho since the OP is looking to do the opposite it should be alright.

Qugi.2653:

then you should not use data-mine information as argument in a thread about how many HoT maps. because it is no guarantee Wait to see what arena net says.

And s/he dident use it as a argument, s/he used it to clarify what the op was talking about and saying it was just speculation and an unknown even if the datamining seemed to indicate 4 maps.

You dont seem able to read what was posted mate.

and thats when you block back so you dont have to hear it

Who can tell me , the price of full game starts from 49.99.
But i already got the original copy of GW2, and i only want to buy a DLC ( Heart of Thorns) Can i do it just this way, or i have to pay 49.99?

We know that it is a nonsense..but if you buy the expansion you ll have the core game included…. So basicly you’ ll pay for a second time the core game. That’ s why many people are complaining and that’ s why many haven’ t bought the game right now.
On the other hand many don’ t care about their money and accept this.
It’ s up to you mate

That’s like saying I bought a video tape, and then got a copy of the same tape for free in another promotion. You’re not paying for it. Saying so doesn’t make it so.

To put it in perspective, virtually every game goes down in price 3 years after it’s launched. Some of them sell for 3 bucks on steam. Guild Wars 2, the original game, sold for $10 bucks several times. So the very MOST you’d be paying again is $10 bucks.

But the reality is, they’re including it free for business reasons. The price of the expansion hasn’t been raised to include it. It would be interesting to see if you can prove that it has been, because frankly, Anet is doing the same thing many major MMOs are doing…removing a barrier to entry for new people.

You can say it’s not happening in other places, but that also wouldn’t be true.

Man. If you had the chance to read all the forums complaints on this subject then you would understand.
But you didn’ t it seems.
You are writing as a gw2 fanboy and as a white knight whereas I’ m writing as a customer. If I bought the game 50$ at launch why I should pay again for the CORE game?
You can try to justify their policy but you won’t convice me.
Moreover I’ ve noticed that many online sellers are making heavy discounts for Hot.
My explantion is that few people bought HOT for 50$. So they have been kinda forced to cut the price.
But of course you’ ll have a different opinion since you think as a fanboy and not as a customer.
Regards

Yea I recently went back to wow when wod launched. I got the battlechest all expansions up to last one for the price of 30 day game time that was also included with the battle chest.

Noone moaned that I got the expansions for free compared to the people who bought it when they released.

Why some of us havent prepruchased yet is becouse we dont know enough information whats in hot some of us are waiting for the challenging group content reveal for example.

to easy to abuse a point system with duels you could just have a second account that lose all the time
Edit
Hear someone bought 27 accounts when they were 10 bucks each.

Set your goal to zero so if we get none you dont get dissapointed but if we do you get happy

I’ve learned to live by this from the start on things considering Ranger.

But if we do get new pets, I’m thinking one for each Family, for example Cats get Tiger, Lizards get Raptor…

As long as we get Ara for them birdies that talk the enemy to death I will be happy.

wasent it that wvw stuff would auto upgrade the longer you hold them.

in a recent lifestream from Gamescon that had Colin on it with Rubi, he mentioned that XP producing activities such as harvesting would once again be worth doing, and that people would want to have their food & utility boosts up to maximize.
