Guild Wars 2

Stiofan.6720:

I don’t want to start an argument but I honestly think what we have in guild wars 2 is all we are ever really going to get more or less, Yes we have had a few maps since release and I could be wrong but I don’t believe we are ever going to see any big areas open up like cantha/elona or even smaller areas like crystal desert/ring of fire islands in guild wars 2. heart of thorns looks good but what is it 1 new map with 3 layers? Just wanted to know If anyone knew if anet had plans to start development for guild wars 3 at some point maybe after heart of thorns.

I wish people would stop with this 1 map missinformation already how many more blogposts interviews and stuff do the devs have to say that there are maps.

They said 1 region, know whats a region? kryta/ascalon/shiverpeaks

Go down to themes and schemes and really read

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/gameplay-features-making-the-most-of-maguuma/

N/m thats probabely to hard I will find it for you.

Each map also has its own unique themes and map-wide meta-features that connect to the story and the characters in new and exciting ways. For example, in Verdant Brink—the first map

Poorly written or not u need to grow up. English is my 4th language so maybe that should clarify it for u. ignorant ppl like u need to keep to themselves or learn how to converse with others.

Sorry if not everyone symphatizes with your elitist mindset…

You do know that the new path is made for lvl 80 and thats why he wrote what he did right?

mauried.5608:

One of the problems with houses in MMOs is what to do with abandoned houses.
ie a player builds a house , and then leaves the game.
What happens to the house?
Houses generally take up space in the game world , so abandoned houses need some mechanism to remove them, otherwise the game slowly fills up with abandoned houses after a while.
One method would be some kind of house tax, whereby in order to keep your house after building it , you had to pay an ongoing fee, but most players dont like this concept.

Or a living story could destroy part of our home instance and allow us to rebuild it.

Yes that states that the scrolls and tomes that have droped and award a skillpoint will award the crafting material.
It dont say if scrolls and tomes will continue to drop or not.

So sadly no source but thanks for replying to me mate, will continue to prowl for information.

Scrolls will not continue to drop as they will no longer be in game, if that’s what you are asking. They are removing skill points. But good luck in your prowling.

Well read our conversation again with more coffie in my veins.

Looks like I missunderstood you saying how we would get the resource in the future instead of what you actualy said.
That was how what we already got now will be converted when this change hit

Yes, the event mobs will have a chance of dropping the Beta Portal, just like they have a rare chance of dropping loot now(very rare mind you).

They do?

Well the bull event mobs do dont they?

Eponet.4829:

Maybe they wont have traits at all.

And what else would they have?
I mean considering map icons/harvesting/skill point challenges etc was to confusing to new players I dont see them adding a new system with traits for core lines and something else for elites that would def be to much for our newbies.

Well probabely when you usualy get updates to your game around 12 hours for me roughly from this time

Yes that states that the scrolls and tomes that have droped and award a skillpoint will award the crafting material.

No you cant but will in expansion…. what I cant understand is why you cant take 30 mins to skim 10 or 20 forum pages and see atleast 3-4 other topics just like this.

edit
3d page

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Returning-player-20/first#post5011430
Took mee 10 mins to skim through to page 13.

Yea if you dont want the weapon trait use the other one or dont use the line at all…. its like saying well I dont use axe on my warrior and dont want berserkers power what else you got for me anet

Edit
Even more so when stats wont be tied to trait lines you go for the traits you want not what line they are in.

Im pretty sure you can find someone that will let you trade gift cards of gems of equal value to the price of box later mate.

However I dont think you should trust anyone to give you a key for it and if you buy the gem cards anyway may aswell buy the box.

so well still buy the augurs and bloodstones as such with the skill points? Well also be able to continue continue gaining experience past 80 to get skill points?

You won’t get skill points after level 80, you’ll get the new currency. The augurs and bloodstone will be bought with the new currency, not skill points, because skill points are being removed.

Havent seen them state were you will get this new currency from in the future really since we wont level up etc got a source on that mate?

They said from doing things that gave skill points before.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/specializations-part-two-reward-tracks-and-elite-specializations/
“Old skill points in excess of those earned by leveling and skill challenges will be converted into crafting materials for the Mystic Forge. Items and activities that were previously repeatable sources of skill points will now also provide that same crafting material.”

Here, where they said crafting material they are referring to the skill points that will be turned into a new item that will become currency in the wallet and used to buy the items that are used in mystic forge crafting.

“*Players no longer need to clear specific content for specific unlocks as hero points will be replacing skill points in the new profession reward tracks, and excess skill points will be converted into crafting materials. How will this affect players who have already cashed in a bundle of Scrolls of Knowledge*?

If you already have Scrolls of Knowledge and a bunch of existing skill points, you will end up with a lot of crafting material that converts into a new currency that will be used in the Mystic Forge. We will be talking more about how that works and how you acquire that currency in the future."

So, from what they said, if you have excess skill points or scrolls, these will turn into a new item and clicking on them will add them to your wallet as the new currency. You will also get these new items from content such as PvP and champ bags.

how you acquire that currency in the future."

bolden and sniped it out so you dont miss it again.

They havent stated how you will gain that currencey in the future and that was what

I questioned you about since you seem to have read somewere that we will continue to get it like before scrolls/tombs, we dont know as far as I know.

That or I missinterpeted your post i quoted before.

You get it by playing the game, man…

No kitten sherlock here I thought they were implementing eve’s offline skill training program, thanks alot for correcting me

I would like to see it in action before i can comment on it

and what bug would that be thats only affecting the flesh golem?

Looks like Silverwastes and Dry Top will be humming with players!

ArenaNet: “We don’t want players to grind!”

ArenaNet: “Oh, and if you want early access to the expansion, just grind the grindiest map in the game over and over! If RNG favors you, you will get an invite!”

I guess we know what kind of content the expansion will have, if even the beta invites are hidden behind a grind wall.

Yes so evil of anet to make people get it for free, how dare they better make people pay for it. Hear that Anet Test want to pay for it hurry up and do it. /sarcasm off

Deedrick.4372:

They did mention excess skill points will go into the wallet as currency though they didn’t have a new name for skill points picked out. I have not seen any thing on tomes, and wonder if we will get mastery or if they should be burned for sp now. It would be great to know.

You must not be reading the blog posts mate.

Old skill points in excess of those earned by leveling and skill challenges will be converted into crafting materials for the Mystic Forge. Items and activities that were previously repeatable sources of skill points will now also provide that same crafting material.
There will be three categories of profession reward tracks, covering core specializations, core skills, and elite specializations.

So all but the 76 you get from levelng up and the 189 skill point challenges out in the world will be converted into this new mystic forge crafting materials ( repeatable sources of skill points would be including skill point scrolls and tomes of knowlage )

Relic.2136:

@penelopehannibal – it’s not an ignorant view, and it’s also not intended to be an all-inclusive view of all forms of live-RP in-game. I’m just specifying that in this particular case I’m not wanting to talk about that kind of RP. My apologies if it seemed otherwise.

Then you can just say not erp= erotic roleplay

Since there is no class personal story only race and over all story i dont se a problem, were in the story do anyone say -hey you elementalist come do this.

Your a heavy armor person thats all you are.

if you dont see it in the store its removed atm and will come back sometime in the future.

none of the gw1 games or expac came with more races and i dont see what they add other then weaker flavour elites/skills and minimal story 10-30.

Rather they just add in tonics if you want more races imo.

Invictus.1503:

We know it will be a new weapon, as it was stated that each profession’s specialization would have a new weapon. No reason to think Revenant will be an exception.

As for new legend, that depends on how much they change the class mechanic, if at all. My personal speculation is that they will only get one legend (I think it will be Glint) and won’t be able to switch. As a compensation, they will use less energy per skill (due to not being able to switch) and will have the option to mix and match skills rather than have a set bar (from skills specifically designed for the specialization).

If they lock down the specilisation with 1 legend weapon swap would be the trade off instead of cheaper energy on skills imo

well since racials are weaker compared to other elites, its not much of a loss.

I do however worry how restrictive the revenant will be with weapon locked and utility and elite locked times 2 aswell.

Edit
It works for the elementalist due to 4 attunements thats 40 skills and engineer due to kits (5 brand new weapon skills each) and utilitys giving you extra skills in your toolbelt, but reventant same skills as every other class only no way to change anything at all.

The new Parent and child game for chars, get the portalble cubapult fun for you and your offspring.

it was added becouse players dident know what to do when map was blank and they had to run out and search for events.

loot at feet was implemented since its hard to go over to that enemy zerg and loot the players you just killed, that limitation aint there in pve so no need to have same feature.

Blacktalon.5681:

You’re right, this is not wow 2.0, I understand. People do like the way gear is set up in this game after several forum discussions. I don’t see the point in just playing for extra skins, but others like it that way… that’s the way the game is set up, and that’s fine:)

The game is well balanced. Im desiring a little more, but I understand why they have done what they have. I kind of assumed that armor wasn’t even considered much in wvw being that they have entirely separate pvp gear… but I guess a lot of people are worried about things being thrown out of balance. Ill have to live with it lol.

Oh mate your mixing up spvp wow style 5 man bgs with wvwvw.

Spvp has a amulet that give you all the stats, wvw you use the same gear as in pve

Your are askimg it to convert more to wow 2,0 with no level ups in expansions… They will not do level ups said expansion, but then how do you expect to get stronger to do said tier 1-4 dungeons later in your post? I guess new gear, thats the same as adding levels just that its intergated in said gear aint it?

Please stop asking them to become wow.

If you left becouse expansions made gear worthless, why wouLd you ask for a gear progression here?
The outcome would be the same.

from what i remember if you have a exotc sigil on land weapons use those to build up stacks you dont need a exotic on underwater a green one would do.

So whats this all about its to expensive?

Dont see how its hard to spam 2 buttons

Tigaseye.2047:

No, it’s not better.

Or, it’s not better than the game I played before.

It looks better, it’s more female-friendly than the other game’s current xpac (visually speaking) and levelling is more fun, but it’s not fundamentally better.

In fact, it’s definitely worse.

Can you please elaborate abit on how its more specifially female-friendly only, instead of alround friendly?

nah turning down the aoe was what made blobadons profitable in the first place.

Tigaseye.2047:

Vague Memory.2817:

If the new lengendarys are like most of the old ones, I’m still not interested in them: a disco ball on a stick, a party gun, a bow that shoots unicorns etc. Most of this are joke shop items at best more suited to April 1st.

Yeah, they’re cute (almost sickeningly so, in some cases!), but they should just have been sold as skins in the store; not touted as legendaries.

In fact, personally, if I were ANet I would just produce a few more really pretty weapon skins for the store (most of the ones ATM are pretty underwhelming, TBH), that can also be crafted (for people who have far more time than they do RL money) and be done with it.

Game isn’t supposed to be a gear grind, after all, so stick with that premise.

Your right not a gear grind but a skin grind the differance is you have to do the former not the later

is the wiki wrong its says i have to chose an effect so i dont see the benefit to forge em together

Nuzt.7894:

We are talking about Anet here, they want you to pay for another character slot. These are the same guys that charge 1800 gems for a transfer but only gives you the option to buy 1600 & 800 (or a larger amount of course) they are a business, they want the money grab.

Have tried the button that let you type in exatly what you want eh?

Your Cute, I’m talking about purchasing Gems with real money, not trading for your pixel gold.

Do try and keep up.

Well you could do that or the gold way I said or chase 10k ap and buy the char slot with the free gems

I would lump in dungeons on the list aswell guys, they have really gotten stale over the years.

Harper maybe you should make your own filter as suggested in the thread.
Its already in game and is called friends list, it can be found under default Y key.

ff14 you can have all classes on same character cant you and since gw2 dident go that route why should they add this now? reloging to a dif character dont take forever and dont kick you out of parties.

Edit
Why is C.h.a.r kittened?

why would they have a riot on their hands aslong as there is 1 new legendary each class can use ( like sword covers 4 classes focus 4 and staff 5 Done) there wont be a problem if they can crank out new ones within a month or three.

It will take us awhile to exp ( maybe master point aswell depending on how many we get retroactivly) our way up the legendary hunt mastery aswell I bet.

I thought rox and braham would hit it off, but dont seem like it will happen

people resurect downed people just fine they dont have time to resurect fully dead people during world bosses anyway just wp and run back.

kitten you guys are all banshee’s now, dont spin to fast your head will fall off =)

I got my first in game mail ever about this 4 days ago reported and continued with my day

Cazamar.7148:

JediYoda.1275:

The problem isn’t bad classes just bad players and bad builds sometimes both in one!!!

Saturday in lvl 1 fractal we had an lvl 80 ele literally got downed every few sec we had constantly rez him/her though the hole run. I told him/her to get better armor and go to metabattle for a better build. I only but up with it to just get the daily done!!

This is what I am saying. Just because I play a necro doesn’t mean I suck. I run dungeons very well but there is this mentality that necro dps sucks. It is more that some players suck. Although I agree that necro dps is not as high as some other class that does not mean that they should be discriminated against in LFG.

its not the dps thats the problem mate, its the lack of offensive support (fire fields or blast finishers for others fields) and the defensive support you can give regen/protection/blind is already covered better by other classes.

Miss Lana.5276:

I remember back in gw1 I didn’t get the name I wanted. I removed a letter from the last name. Turned “Lana Darkness” into “Lana Darkess”. It feels odd writing the former now.

The other name I didn’t get I added in a letter. You have to adapt. Doesn’t matter if you can’t get the name you wanted to begin with. The chance that the person with that name will give it to you is pretty slim. Shrug it off, make a new name and move on.

Couldn’t think of a name for my Sylvari Necro. Started googling. You’d be surprised what you can find there. I ended up with “Andraste The Unseen” (though I normally stay away from names with “the <x>” or titles, this one fit her).

But seriously, think about it. This is an MMO. Massive Multiplayer Online game. There have been over 3 MILLION copies of this game sold. Of course there are going to be people who wanted that popular name from tv show/movie/book “The Adventures of <Famous Character>”.

“You are not special. You’re not a beautiful and unique snowflake…”

To be honest I’m more concerned with how my character looks than what name I get, though I do love some of the names I’ve come up with.

Nice poke at dragon age origins there mate =)

please dont take away chests I want to see if toons are male or female <3

MaXi.3642:

also your progress is made account wide mostly, except for world completion, fractal level and few other things I probably don’t remember, so you don’t loose so much when creating new character…

true there world completion is a char bound but fractal level have been account awhile.
not sure it is much else then the soulbound exotics
