People that don’t buy HoT can still play the new map, but certain features will be locked out of using.

So pay-to-win.

Sorry but anet does not deserve a penny more from me until they put in the effort to update WvW. This one map and changes to the current map are not enough for me to warrant spending anything on it!
As a WvW only player, I dont want my money spent on a Chinese release, Living Story and a expansion which is barely enough to be considered an expansion.
Prove to me that WvW will get a half, even a quarter of what PvE gets, and then I may consider investing more in this game!

But those are just my current feelings.

Hey you paying for the upgrade. If you think of it that way.

Knighthonor
Please provide a link were they state certain features will be locked in said wvw maps for none expansion players, the newest info i have seen is the angry joe interview were they say none expasion players will be able to play the wvw map, in that i assume they mean everything on said map aswell. ( would be really strange if you couldent jump into lava pools to transport if you dident have expasion becouse if so you shouldent be able to get into the map at all.)

edit, didnt read post at first and linked wrong thing. its in the Angryjoe video.

Oh yea must have missed it the first time around thanks for noting it mate.

its said 11:55 in that link for anyone else wondering.

Yes apparently this weekend

MashMash.1645:

Hmmm, will the new systems use skill points? I have like 2-3 thousand in my bank (10 stacks of 250 or so).

They havent said anything about new ways of spending skillpoints no.
You could use them to upgrade siege and sell it on the tp for all the WvW guilds out there

Well if your going to pve any since the megaservers it dont matter witch one you pick if you want wvw then i cant help you at all sorry, also would be nice to know if your Eu or Na

From the look of it revenant dont seem to get many skills to unlock atleast not so far

any chance of getting /officer chat? would be so much helpfull… what do you guys think?

Do you mean commander chat?
Or guild officer?

With commander chat, all you need to do is join their squad and use /squad. For guild officers, there guild chat and PM.

Other then those, I am not sure what you are asking for…

Guild officer chat visible only for them, i know there is guild chat or PM, or i can group with officers in PT or with comm.
But what if i want to do some dungeon run or join que for PvP? Im forced to PM them one by one, thats just not making any sense

Dungeons and PvP is limited to 5 man parties anyway, you could easily just party up.

My guess is he wanted to pvp or 5 man with other people then said officers

or use skype ventrilo teamspeak mumble

you get 20-35 for what is it the 3 dragons d tripple wurm the rest are lower by far.
And you do not get less fragments from running same path of dungeon more then once a day you just get less coin and dungeon tokens.

yea i think its the mask that glows not your eyes so its perfectly fine

sure its a block and not that he is invisible so game says the person is offline?

You may check in on the collections tab under achievement in the hero panel aswell
and pvp dont use your own gear you have to chose weapons sigils on said weapons + a amulet that give you all your stats.
You do this before match start then its saved or go into the mists and set it up there before jumping into the spvp match.

Dont farm to a legendary is my advice since that will burn you out just go out and find all the hidden areas complete 100 of all maps and even then you havent found all areas i bet.

After 2 years i still havent completed all explorer achiev.

Find a good guild get to know people and thats what make you stay the people not the content its your friends who make it fun.

Kaiden Valor.7163:

Zone names & levels are always in the dead centre on the map, you can also see a clear line where the top border of the map is and the right border is obvious. From that you can work out a fairly accurate guess as to the size (which is exactly what this person did in the image).

Edit: from the same reddit there’s this http://i.imgur.com/olGfJfu.jpg (I personally think they’ve got the top border a bit too high but it might be a visual thing that’s causing the line I mentioned).

Then this is probabely more like it and wer looking at a drytop with 3 layers for one of the maps.

Invoker.5462:

Linken.6345:

its by design ranger pets and mesmer clones are apart of their classes so working as intended

Thanks for the meaningless input.

To clarify (in case you were serious) this would count for players only. Clones of players can easily be counted in that category. Tab targeting somewhat avoids turrets and should do the same for Ranger pets. Ranger pets don’t deserve to clog my scroll.

And if clones do why dont the ranger pet again since its apart of the class?
Dident know turrets avoided tab targeting maybe they should look into that since its apart of engi, will go make a suggestion at once to anet mate.

Diovid.9506:

lordkrall.7241:

We already have two zones confirmed. Verdant Brink and the Golden City. Unless the Golden City is connected directly to Verdant Brink there will be at the very least another zone there.

Where was the Golden City confirmed as a zone? Are you sure it’s not just a region within a zone?

Here’s an indication for the size of verdant brink: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2xsq76/map_size_of_verdant_brink/. It seems to me that Verdant Brink is actually bigger than any zone in the game right now, considering it’s verticality.

Mate you see a small part of it and name to the left no indication at all how big the zone is really.

its by design ranger pets and mesmer clones are apart of their classes so working as intended

And when you maxed your mastery points you want a way to exchange useless mastery points back to skill points to craft legendarys?

even if we only get 3-4 zones it will be 3 layers (above jungle, jungle floor and under it at the roots) so thats 9-12 zones not to bad imo
its 1/3 to half the world since we got 25 zones at release not counting citys

VodCom.6924:

tfcgeneralkmk.9508:

- necros have more ultility than people seem to think have you played one that isn’t a MM? wells, marks, signets all provide some cool effects as good as other classes maybe not but not nonexistent and even MM have some good abilities to add just pathing problems make it hard

The problem is not that necros have no utility. It’s that what they can do for a party, someone else can do it better while having a higher dps, which is sad but forseeable : Necromancers are in concept selfish dark casters.

Necros dps aint the problem at all the problem is they have hardly any blast finishers for stacking might and as you said their utility they do have others can do better

I dont think so why should they.

the first poi were they show off the adventures show a warrior with f1 and a f2 hidden on that f1 ability icon so yea i guess we do get changes

6:35 n that video you can see it for your self

I belive you can only get the skins from big chest at the end not the hidden ones… when i did ap run for those you dident even get blue or greens from those chests.

and if you blocked him how do you know if he pinged gear or not since you wont be able to see his chat msg

Vocal minority what can i say, the pve is decent you dont have to be a zerker its just the quickest way

and what stops the scammers from getting inside said guild?

Lictor Alpha.3724:

RoseofGilead.8907:

WvW is what you want it to be. If you join up with the zerg (especially on top tier servers), then yes, you’re going to be blobbing. If you choose to roam solo or in small groups, then you’ll be doing something different.

I don’t PvP, so I can’t comment here.

As for PvE:

If someone is dying to mobs in two or three hits, they should probably learn the mechanics of the game, especially the mechanic of dodging. There are also invul and evade skills, reflects, retaliation, etc. And as for counter play, there are definitely forms of it (reflect, retaliation, CC skills).

I’m not sure what you mean by slow traveling. Do you mean running speeds? If so, nope, that hasn’t changed; mesmers especially suffer from a lack of running speed options.

Elites are pretty much the same. Lots are useless. Some are good.

But you could always log into the game and give it a try yourself. If things aren’t to your liking still, then continue avoiding the game.

Reinstalling now, just chilling on the forums til it installs. At launch NPC’s would get stronger based on the number of people fighting/around them. They has massive scaling issues to the point where even starter NPC’s would 1 shot you with basic attacks if you did not dodge, and you can’t dodge every attack since they attack faster then you’re energy refills.

I almost rage quit vs one quest boss in the lvl 10-15 zone that would do an instant stun followed by a huge AoE persistent DoT circle attack, that would do 20k+ dmg a second. There was nothing you could do about it because there were at least 40 people all downed around him and the bodys just kept piling up.

Are you talking about the giant in charr lands that melee stomp people?

How hard is it to click on guildwars2.com top left corner and check if there is a news blogpost about druid?

And you can have your personal house, step 1 do a 1 person guild step 2 make your house for that guild. Bam personal house

Hmm.7902:

Really though, I was running Arah for the last few weeks on my warrior to get the awesome set. I thought to myself, hey, maybe I can bring out the shield, some nice banners and go be the tanky boon kind of guy, that’ll probably help a lot. Brought a lot of disables, too with mace/shield + longbow for special encounters and tar elemental. Crafted exotic gear with +power, +thoughness and +vitality, skilled accordingly.

Nope, it didn’t work out. Every path was a major chore because mobs didn’t go down as fast as it was needed, resulting in massive group damage. Lupi? still being a major pain in the kitten , still one-shotting me with my 26k health and absurd amounts of armour. The only thing that kept me alive were the utility skills, and those aren’t necessarely tied to my decision to go tank, I could pick them with zerker and would be just fine as well.

So after about 10 runs I switched to my zerker ele. My god Arah was a cake walk all of the sudden. Lupi still kittening with me but whatever, he’s nearly impossible anyway, especially when you have bad luck with being downed and him deciding to fire a whole barrage of missiles onto your position. Or when he puts you into that poison/shadow dome 3 times in a row.

Next experiment will be a healer, maybe engi or my ele. If that fails, too, I call diversity in gw2 PvE total bullkitten. Because as it stands now your only real choice is to play damage, one way or the other. It doesn’t have to be pure damage, but it has to be damage. And no, “being able” to do content in a certain way is not a real argument when it turns out to be a chore. That’s like saying “hey I can still ride my bycicle when I chop off one of my arms and one of my legs”.

You do less damage and qq when it take longer?
Ofcourse it takes longer the point is you can still do it. clearly a l2p issue

Lian Olsam.9541:

I th8nk OP are talking about OPTIMAL options, and i m talking about that too, ofc you can also go inside a dungeon and kill every mob, but alot of ppl find this pointless… why shoudld i stay 30 min in a path if i can do it in 10 min? If someone, like you, have fun and dont care of that, i m really happy, cause u can enjoy the content, but me, and not only me, cant kitten my brain doing something i feel pointless

Maybe you should read the OP again it say without options you might aswell go kill there for a couple of hours
So options being good, no options being bad.
Follow me so far?

In two and a half years of gaming gw2 I have never ran berserker and my warrior have never wielded a 2h sword and im still doing all the content and having fun playing.
If you no longer having fun instead needing to skip and cheese your way through content then maybe you should find something that you have fun in again mate.

DiabloMuerto.8930:

Ah thanks guys/girls, that’s one issue solved

and the other aint an issue if its to much of a hassle to transfer your infinite harvesting tools in the bank, do what others have done and buy more sets of them.

Miku Lawrence.6329:

Staff and Sword/mace/axe are confirmed other weapons. We can assume one of these will be the PvE meta (Melee has naturaly higher damage output copared to range).

can I ask were you got staff and sword from since all the weapons they said so far was hammer mace axe

If they havent said anything then expect it to be NO so you dont lose your account

Aidan Savage.2078:

So, I’m going to be so kittening kittened if the guardian spec doesnt get most of the Taunt inflicting skills. GW2 has needed aggro management much more clearly defined than “hit harder or wear a shield” for a while.

Its not what you think it is bud its a reverese fear cc not a aggro mangement skill

I like that you can probabely taunt people off walls in wvw

dont we have 8 classes?

Eirian Direstorm.9748:

Invictus.1503:

I disagree. As a dagger wielding necro, I’ve often wished that my fear would make them run towards me rather than away. I want to draw in those ranged kittens. You might then say it is like a pull, but no, it locks their skills for a duration. I can see this condition being rather strong in certain instances.

I can imagine taunting a ranger who was weilding a bow, while having the wall up; they’d kill themselves! —I assume it locks weapon swap too.

Dont see why it would kill said ranger since it blocks the projectiles never said it reflected them.

Muchacho.2390:

Mhh i guess switching legends will trigger weapon swap sigils if revenants dont have weapon swaps.

On swap sigils will trigger when you invoke your inactive legend.

Now that you’re here, let me ask you:

When you choose a Legend, said Legend unlocks you a single set of utility skills, 1 healing skill and 1 elite, correct? Are all these skills fixed on your bar (like Elementalist’s weapon skills are depending on which attunement you are)? Or do Legends just add new skills but these can be changed regardless of what legend you are using currently (within the two selected obviously)?

That wasn’t very clear to me when reading the blogpost.

The skills on the right half of your bar are tied to the legend which you are currently invoking.

What he asked is if you can have 1 2 3 utility skills and 5 elite on legend 1
4 3 5 and elite 2 on legend 2

or if both use the same ones, atleast thats how i read it.

yea it clearly states in chat this player left party in how ever many there were in that
party in your chat window

But seriously why havent people stoped selling dungeon paths already when they know this is happening.

Yea you probabely finished that dungeon just after reset yesterday mate

So borderline pay to win.

lolno. You don’t need 8 bag slots on every character, or even on one character, to win anything. It’s “pay to hoard”.

Pay to hoard? Or pay for convenience. So what do you do instead? trash every item you can’t fit? waste time very 5 seconds you’re in a dungeon selling the loot, so often than you cant run the dungeon?

But they have them now (and WoW also have subscriptions + box-costs on top of that).

It is quite irrelevant that they didn’t have them before. They have them now, and have had them for years.

You claimed that they didn’t have them, which is clearly false.

They didn’t have them when I played them—which is clearly true. Notice the word “had” in my original post. I also noted that cash shops may have been added to WoW/WAR/Aion (although WAR apparently died in 2013, no surprise there).

Original post: “Dark Age of Camelot never had a gem store for over 10 years. I don’t think WoW, WAR, or Aion had gem stores either, but it’s been a while and they may have added them”

DAoC 2001-present- no cash shop
WoW 2004-2008 – no cash shop
WAR 2008-2009 – no cash shop
Aion 2009-2010 – no cash shop

At the end of the day, I’m not a huge fan of the cash shop. Everyone has their own opinion, though.

I used to be able to buy a lot of things for a lot less than today, does not mean any business in the world will start selling for that price again.

Understandable. However, there is always supply and demand, and if a business overprices its products, it can potentially lose customers. Mythic overpriced its Warhammer Online product, and customers did not care to spend money to beta-test an unfinished game—so they subsequently left and the game’s servers were shut down.

In regards to cash shop vs monthly fee, I would much rather pay $15 a month and have access to all gem store content, than pay much more than $15 to have the same access. If everyone paid $15 a month, anet’s profits may not change that much. I don’t feel that $15 a month is a lot for a hobby, honestly. It’s usually less than a single weekend of drinking/partying.

This is why i never had problems with subscriptions. But the way the current store is setup, you’d pay hundreds of dollars before you get anywhere. Which is a couple years of subscriptions. Upfront.

Or you can play the game gain gold and buy anything you want and spend nothing, 180 mandatory a year or nothing whats better?
Third option pay how ever much you want.

Edit
The people anet earns money on are the ones with little time so they spend cash to be on even playing field with no lifers.
And the I want everything now crowd that cant spend time doing what they enjoy to get stuff.

Remind me again when did gw2 come out was it bettwen 2008-2010 when subscription still ruled the mmo space?
Somehow the nr 12 got a strange feel to it.

were you on 28 yesterday?

Oh, 1 hour a day. Still, you rate your time as worth something, yet you claim those who spend their time gaining gold in game are doing it for free. You are being hypocritical.

Wait. You said 1 hour of game play a day EACH WEEK. Why add the weekly part?

1 hr/day = one hour PER day. This is common sense i suppose.

Play time is free, you buy a game for entertainment. You don’t use your working time for gaming right? You use your free time to play and the time you spent you got entertainment out of it. Did you pay extra money for every sec you spend in game? None, so that your play time is free.

If you spend too much time playing that affect any of your working, learning, social, resting time that made you think your play time is not free.

Dude, you need help seriously. I whole heartedly that you are not.

Well in some ways he is right, you know that player time has value, you are paying arenanet real money to get gold, which is essentially other players time. You know time has value, thats why you only have so little of it to play.

Now his solution, may not really explain how making this change will be of benefit to arenanet, but he is right that you should realize you are willing to pay people to grind for you, but at the same time you say their time has no value. Then why is it something you are willing to pay for?

No he is saying that the little time he have is valuable so he pays to be on equal footing with the ones who have alot of time.

Why should all games give everything to people who have a bunch of time and no money?

This way the guy with a bunch of time can gain gold and buy what ever he needs for ingame gold with a transfer fee when turning it into gems.
They guy with little time can take some of his cash and buy what ever he needs for gems.
The gaming company gain money on the people with little time and regulate the influx of gold in the economy with the cut on gold to gem transfers its a win win for all 3.

Edit
If you think it takes to much gold to buy said item then fork up some real money bub.

dietzero.3514:

Money from selling space is most likely a very, very minor part of their overall income.

And I seriously doubt many people are converting gold to gems to buy space these days. The price is just way too high, so most do not bother or make an alt guild.

Changing it to gold might actually encourage more people to play, those who were turned off by the gating of space behind gems.

The alternative is of course drastically reducing the gem cost of space. They would sell a lot more this way, and probably increase profits seeing as space is most likely rarely bought these days.

Since you dubt not many is buying space anyway why crusade so much to get this change in that benefit noone least enough anet.
If the other guy due to his inhability to play says its fine to plop down real cash to get his space, his whole argument goes out the water becouse he only play 1 hour a week why?
Thats exactly how it should be, people with alot of time play the game gain gold and eventualy buy more space for free since they gained that gold doing what they enjoy. This guy gain it when ever he feels he need it becouse he inject cash to the owners and then can enjoy the little free time he have in the game.
You make alot of assumptions

The price is just way too high, so most do not bother or make an alt guild.

Maybe you should do like many others buy new char slots make lvl 2 guys and equip them with 20 slot bags.

they drop in silverwaste from chests i hear

And it probabely wont I dident bring it up you did

you wouldn’t be able to reach this content you spent a good sum on until much much later… you’d feel cheated, right?

Yes i know but i took a low number so anyone can do it mate
