Yea and you dont have to type at all for any of the fractal instances.
Not sure about that, sometimes I have to type to tell people to stay in the green area in Swamps, or to target the bunny first in Uncategorized, or to stand on a platform in Underground, and so on and so on…
So you couldent just ping map were you are and use target on bunny, thats what I do no typing nessesary.
Edit
Or are we talking t1-t2 here then yea you could always type before getting into boss/ event room what is needed to be completed.
The wiki also got recently changed on April 27th to show MMORPG where it has been shown as competitive/cooperative online rpg.
lol
Because there’s no such thing as a “CORPG”.
That’s a term coined by anet to make GW1 stand out.
Gw2, WoW, ESO, those are all MMORPGs. GW is a lobby game with instanced maps. The difference is in the playing area. While you can stand around in the cities, the actual maps you play on in GW are solo to up to 8 people. Up to 8 people is not Massively Online for the parts where people play.
cool
So if I go and edit the wiki put in single player game you would then claim it was a single player game?
Who are you talking to?
At any rate, ANet said it’s a CORPG rather than an MMO. I’m going to say they know what it is more than random, anonymous people who update the wiki.
You assume organized groups. That’s the difference between fractals and raids: Most Raid groups are organized and on voice chat. Most Fractal groups are PUGs. PUGs have to communicate by typing and are in general a random collection of classes rather than a carefully organized composition. You can’t apply the same standard to mainly PUG content as you can to organized content.

So not outfits anymore instead more like mix and match outfits/armor skins?
Rather see more outfits converted into armor skins then mate.
That’s almost certain never going to happen even once (maybe a part of a skin). The very reason for outfits is that they don’t need to be mixed & matched.
The OP’s idea is much more likely, which is why a lot of folks have suggested it, in various different ways.
Pay gems to buy a custom outfit slot. You choose the pieces and get unlimited use as an outfit.
Saved skins — not an outfit, but rather the game just remember which set of skins you chose. Usually suggested as an update to the wardrobe; probably more likely as a gem store option.
Combinations of the two.
Custom outfits will require a lot of work, from the UI to the code behind the scenes. Saved skins would be easier, because it’s just saving a list, rather than a new mechanic. I’d be happy to see either in the game.
Oh I see I miss read the OP totaly.
With 183 transumtation charges I dont see why its needed maybe OP should map complete more and change armors less untill they have a buffer?
I’m not sure what is wrong with race being part of the meta as class is part of the meta. Nothing should be so unequal that people don’t want to, or are shunned if they play a certain class. So the same should be true if race mattered to your build.
So you would be happy you leveled up a human warrior when all the meta groups say to you sorry charr is better race you cant join us.
Are you “happy” if you level up that Warrior and all the meta groups don’t want Warriors? What’s the difference?
The diffrence is that its not a 1/5 chance that even if I had the right class desiried for group then I wouldent get into the group anyway since it was the wrong race.
Its like raid groups would suddenly need 300 li but oh wait you have to also have atleast 1 legendary armor unlock bud but no you also have to have the map completion star at name.
Edit
This could work, if people could race change if not you would have to level up 45 characters to have 1 of each race and class combo to always stay relevant is that what you want?
Compared to now you can level up 9 of what ever race you want and always have a class that can go into a meta group
Interesting replies, however I agree with Sweet, I don’t think you should be able to whisper someone when you’re pretending to be offline. It doesn’t make sense although I’m sure someone could post a time when it was advantageous to them for it to be this way.
To me, wanting it to stay the same just so you can throw insults or snarky one-liners without retort isn’t any better a reason.
I recall way back in GW beta making all kinds of suggestions for better chat functions and more control over your chat, including more windows. Things never changed back then so I am pretty skeptical of getting anything to change now. Even should the whole community rise up and say “Yes, we want this.” I don’t see Anet ever making it happen.
Block the one slinging one liners and insults report and move on.
True except that the entire gamedesign of GW2 is based around no significant powercreep.
Basic one. Expansion brought pretty huge powercreep and kicked almost all vanilla specs out of meta.
Again true and one of the main reasons I have my doubts that a pure sidegrade model towards elite specs will be upheld. Since the release of HoT though there has been a lot of balance changes and at least from a pve perspective, a lot of classes were balanced to be closer to each other performance wise.
That being said, HoT was the first elite specialisation and arenanets first attempt at expanding the class system. If elite specialisation are ment to be sidegrades to each other, the powercreep this time around should be less (ideally close to nill).
Yes but they were suposed to be side grades to vanilla specs aswell as the poster you replied to pointed out they were not so, its all up in the air if the new ones will be side grades or more powerful as of this moment.
I’m not sure what is wrong with race being part of the meta as class is part of the meta. Nothing should be so unequal that people don’t want to, or are shunned if they play a certain class. So the same should be true if race mattered to your build.

They can whip up weapons fast enough for the Black Lion chests. Surely a couple times a year they could make and put into the loot tables a set of new weapons, and rotate out an old set. Then bring back previous sets periodically for a while.
Can agree with that for every x number of sets in store lets say 4, 1 set should get into game.
Kinda funny that they could make armor skins for store before then suddenly it was to much work when policy changed to outfits in store and armor skins in game.
Wooden Potatoes version of this idea remains the best one: Racial masteries. Any one from any race and train to learn all racial skills from every other race.
Boom, no worry about a charr being more powerful than a sylvari. Sylvari can simply learn the charr skills and fight on equal footing.
And that defeats the purpose of the OP that want race to matter, we should just delete the 4 other races and go back to only human then.
Less hassle for anet and same result.
If % of usage would be an indicator of strength… I can only imagine how the bearbow ranger would have to be nerfed into the ground :S
Srsly: Don’t balance by such numbers without context.
Remove Swampland. The worst fractal of them all. Bloomhunger in tier 4 does way too much damage. Has way too much cc, and will repeatedly harass whoever is downed or trying to res the downed. It’s just a nuisance and too many damage sources.
Still haven’t figured out why ppl getting downed there so much. Sure, on a bad day or one mistake from time to time can down you once but in the end it’s a clear sign of refusing to use the dodge key or just move a bit. Must be the same ppl calling out the champ and tunnelvision damaging it every fricking time instead of ignoring because it’ll die to aoe/epi/whatever.
Well if you have more then one necro they may want to bounce those lovely conditions back onto bloom.
More raid bosses may lower the time gate, but the time you need to spend raiding each week will go up in return.
Yes, if you want to obtain something faster, you need to spend more time each day on it. Nothing special about it – almost everything in this game works that way.
Indeed, but currently the 13 bosses can be handled by the time budget of a casual, it will get harder as more bosses are added. Not that I expect any new raid before expansion 2.
But for the casual that finds a raid boss that’s just really hard for them do, more bosses means they get more % of the available LI each day.
Considering there are titles for things that require no skill at all, it’s not reasonable to say that if there is a title for getting all of the HoT legendary armor, than the core legendary weapons and the HoT legendary weapons each get their own title.
Why not tho they take just as much dedication to make/farm for as the armor tho and if someone want to buy said title with their credit card ( talking about the one for all core legendaries) how is that any diffrent then the guy who buy raid kills to get their armors?
Not sure what you’re getting at here. What point are you trying to make? Because you seem to think I’m against weapons getting titles based on what impression I get from the post. I’m not. So maybe I’m misunderstanding what point you’re trying to make?
Well maybe I read it wrong but saying it’s not reasonable to say that if there is a title for getting all of the HoT legendary armor, than the core legendary weapons and the HoT legendary weapons each get their own title.
Sure sound like you say legendary armor should get a title but weapons should not.

Why do you guys keep making posts like this everytime a new gem store skin comes out? Why do you think being that negative is ok? If you don’t like the skin they shouldn’t be allowed to make it?
The new hat matches the other hats. Breaking news you aren’t going to like every piece of clothing in a store.
Well I do like everything in the Dressman store so there is that.
The spoons have a use, they’re apart of the Koutalophile collection.
As for making a merchant to obtain it that would involve making a currency only obtainable from Tequatl, or saying ok everyone can have it if it’s karma or gold. I think either option is poor. Thus it should remain the way it is to not burn the people who already have it.
The fractal skins are in a different boat because they have always been exotics while the blue one’s are only skin tickets. Then the change made a reason to collect the full golden fractal set in a growing game mode. While Tequatl is just an easy event for most people. To me it just opens a bad door of make this skin easier and this one and this one.
We already got 3 we could use the teqatil tailpiece, sunless sigil or fang accessory all 3 only drop from Teq.

Oh take away one of the good updated bosses no thank you, just did him 12 hours ago with 4 necros and a thief zero problems.
What was needed and changed was the boring stand and shake while you hit me fight it used to be.
Anyone in squad can cancel invites and doing so says they kicked said person so thats probabely what happened.
Only commanders and lieutenants can kick when you got into said squad from my understanding.
They left dungeons for fractals as their 5-man content, thats why they nerfed the reward.
psst just so you know they buffed the rewards again.
The rewards are substantive, but they remain less than they were at peak. That’s a nerf (and one that some folks will never forgive, even though that wasn’t the main reason people are less enthusiastic about dungeons).
With more tokens each path and gold compareable bettwen full run before and now how is it i nerf? (someone pointed it out in another dungeon thread that the net gold from all paths was 1 gold less then before nerf. and thats not counting the bonus 40 tokens each path and +150 random tokens ever 8 paths that you do 5 times and can turn into gold)
Edit
And now I dont find it maybe it got deleted.
