Guild Wars 2

either your lying just to be able to whine about something or the person you saw posting this is clueless. Either way nothing to see.

Ive got a lvl 80 engi in full exo. It feels weaker than my warrior by miles and thought it was the class. Spoke to a friend who was a main engi and turns out Im just rubbish as it. Seems people mistake broken classes for l2p issues.

Ya will always get people who whinge about farming. Those people are usualy dismissed. But unfortunately Anet are destroying even farming. Constant nurfing of drops yet increasing required mats to ridiculious levels.

I love playing this game. Im in awe of the thing. But when they start to show such blatant money grabbing greed by trying to force people to buy their gold with RL cash its slowly but surely pushing me out of the door.

The games basically becoming pay to win. And thats pathetic

If you kill with a smile on your face its a jolly old time!

You do realise that if they introduce WvWvW exclusive items that alot of people who dont have an interest in it will piggyback to get those items. Which means making it even harder for those sololy interested in WvWvW to get into the map.

As someone who rarely does WvWvW due to the boring nature of it Ill say I dont disagree with most of the things you say. But Id be careful about wishing for items that will force PVE players to go there for cool skins. Look at the ammount of people in there just running round to get map completion and jumping puzzle atm.

The system we have is fine imo. I would make one adjustment which would effect the UI. Have it so any dye you unlocked on a toon is accesabile to all your toons for BROWSING. So you can at least mod your armour to see what colours you like then then go find those. Alot of dyes look very different on different armours so a proper preview option with them would help tons.

Ever time i see a legendary I think:

HOW ANET CAN THINK IN PUT ASCENDED WEAPONS IN FUTURE?

Ascended are itens that are in middle of exotics and legendarys, so if legendarys are the actual trash they are, its pointless put other future weapons. Its ridiculous spent 1000g+ (In case of bifrost, that have to get 100icy runes, 250 all tier 6, 800+ectos, precursor, and much more things) to have a weapon “Just for it skin”

LEGENDARYS < The name doesn’t means nothing to you? Legend.. LEGEND. Why in the hell a “Legend” its weak than an champion for example? (I know that this happens sometimes, and its ridiculous).

I really think that legend might have at least 20% more stats than actual exotics. Or at least somthing unique, like Give Burn at any attack, or make the character ever be in might, these thing alike.

Awful idea. You just basically said you want legendaries to be compulsary. The idea was always they would be cosmetic, so if you chase after them hoping for a ingame boost then more fool you.

had some (insert kitten related expletive here) spamming the suprised emote over and over. Dunno how he managed to macro it. I just blocked the fool. Some people really are sad individuals.

Anet can ya not supply us with their IP so i can go knock on their door? Pretty please? I assure you I can stop 99% of the trolling in the game

The next profession should, and probably will be a heavy armor wearing anti-hero type. Seeing as how we only have 2 heavies and neither has an anti-hero theme.

DEATH KNIGHT!!!!!!11111!

Someone will leave the theater and you will have to find someone else. Then start the film again from the beginning.

why cant they just have the whole dungeon fractals generated as you enter so if you do get disconnected you can rejoin with that info saved. Like a dungeon ID stamp. If it dont match you cant rejoin for those fractals.

Recently.1043:

No that rune does not work (the 6 set bonus).

“healing skill” and “skill that heals” are not fundamentally the same. “healing skill” is literally a slot-specific skill, the same way you have “utility” and “elite” skills.

I thought this was going to be the case. But since the 10 sec CD was there I it had me wondering. Thanks for the confirmation

but what about runes like http://www.gw2db.com/items/28074-superior-rune-of-the-flock for instance?

[img]http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/6682/gw086w.jpg[/img]

Ok we know we can trait so that our shouts can heal us and our allies. My question is, do our shouts work with runes which trigger with heals? or does only the main 6 heal work?

I ask because some of those runes have a 10 second cooldown yet no one can have a 6 skill heal anywhere near that.

Thankx in advance.

I expect mounts to be placed in GW2 at some point, the fact that some people are against it is not to be taken seriously, because looking at some posts of the people in question, you start to deduct their grasp on things needed in this game.

Your arrogance is truly breathtaking if you truly believe that people who hold different opinions to your own should be ignored.

i do if those peoples sole arguement is the usual kitten I hate wow and wow has mounts. Must hate mounts.

Im for mounts if they are cosmetic but ill admit to be excited if they did mounted combat. But if someone has a genuine concern Im not one to write them off. The major issue I have with the nay-sayers is the whole wow references.

as a GS wielder I will say have 1h weapons costing half the ammount of 2h weapons sounds fair and logical.

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive Acended Rings

remember that roleplay is there to be enjoyed and also respected. Dont fall into the RP Nazi trap that tarnished alot of RPing in games like WoW. Its still a game at the end of the day and your still only acting a role. if your in the middle of a RP session and you dont understand something or need to know how ya should be cos your all confused. Dont be afraid to ask. if your with good RPers they will help and guide you. If they are snide etc just walk away and add em to block cos those tools are the bane of RP.

If I remember correctly OOC = Out of Character, and using it before u say something shows those your RPing with that your asking something not to be taken as your character saying or asking whats to follow.

ei: OCC: sorry guys but Ive forgotten who this malcoms supposed to be.

EDIT: Also note that when you make your characters backstory and personality, give him/her faults and not just the usual sillyness you see. Standing before you is the most handsome man you have ever seen, he can also wrestle dragons and win, and outdrink a village full of vikings etc dont make people warm to your character. use novels, films as inspiration. Cos most of the most noteworthy fictional characters people love all have faults.

for example. Your character could be as brave as a lion, he will face death and laugh. But when faced with the undead he is terrified. For every positive try to add a negative, without it being over the top. If for instance your character was a total coward when faced with the undead it could hard work to step foot in Orr without breaking character. But being afraid but facing those fears are what heroes are all about.

Anyways enough of my random ramblings. I hope ya have fun with your RP

If its for non commercial endevours Im 99.99% certain they wont have issues with it.

5 sig warriors aint a hinderance to any dungeon unless high fractals. Bad players on the other hand are always a hinderance. Ill play 5 sig and I bet i survive longer than a bad player using this lots so-called perfect warrior set-up.

Its not the set-up its the player. If folks realy cant handle the dungeons in their current form due to having a 5 sig warrior around Id say look at your own skills before ranting about others.

Btw I dont play a 5 sig build as I dont like its feel. But the short time I did to try it out, I never had a single complaint.

alot of words when all ya needed was Im right, your wrong naaaaaaaaaaaa

YOU think its broken dont mean everyone else does. A few may agree but since its only a vocal FEW that feel its broken we all know ya wasting ya breath.

As for a lvl 5 needing to work hard to kill lvl 5 stuff. If thats the case its more l2p issues since world mobs are plain squishy as hell unless its a champion.

Icas.3860:

1. Enter Personal Story instance to help a level 30ish. (It’s a long mission.)
2. Reach final mob, but I get hit with 6 stacks of Poison so I go down.
3. Other play doesn’t res me, so I die. Other player dies.
4. I respawn at the checkpoint.
5. Other play is too close to the mob for me to res. I wonder why he still hasn’t respawned at the checkpoint. I ask him to respawn at the checkpoint.
6. A second later I get a message saying that the Party Leader has left the Instance and that I’ll be kicked.
7. I go back and ask what happened and he said that he left the instance.
8. I ask him why he didn’t just Respawn at the Checkpoint, since it gives him the option and I told him several times in the past that he should do that since there’s no penalty after you’ve already died.
9. He just ignores me and says that he wants to do it again.

That is a whole new kind of dumb right there.

Personally I like the dumb things I do. Like using whirlwind on my warrior while trying to kill harpies on the jumping platforms in fotm. Thats a guaranteed facepalm and a severe self repremand.

As a melee I try to hit stuff with my trusty sword as much as possible but Ill retreat and pretend Im part of SWAT if need be. I find it dumb as hell when I see other melee players just not have any kinda of brains to get out of melee when all thats happening is they are gettting creamed.

there is no issue with the downscaling. if u want it to be more diffcult turn up in blues or something jesus

It’s really disheartening how many people waltz into this thread and offer this pointlessly flawed “solution” without thinking it through. As if nobody else was capable of coming up with this suggestion in seconds, or that it wasn’t promptly dismissed for legitimate reasons. I would honestly be too embarrassed to operate this way in any discussion.

You mean its pointless because you dont agree. id be embarrased to open my gob too if all that came out of it was waaaaaaa over pointless crap but hey if thats your thing then you go with it cupcake.

Well, if you had read the thread before joining the discussion (a practice everyone should do, in my opinion) you would have an explanation already. Your recommendation was made a number of times, and it was also explained why it solves nothing a number of times.

and you complaining about soemthing that doesnt need fixing is helpful in what way? So you want the game changing for your wants and nevermind everyone else because yes. You are the whole player base and as such your word is gospel. Dont know how to break this to you. But your the very tiny, minicule, insignicant few that actually see a non issue as an actual problem. A problem you dont need to effect everyone else with.

People aint going to these areas because they have completed them or stuck in LA. Its got nothing to do with how the down scaling works.

did the event twice. Looted twice and got a free chest in the mail this morning. Fanx Anet me dos wub wu xxx

alcedonia.7831:

just wanted to ask.

in wvwvw, how do you tell if your opposing team is rolling with groups of players with full ascended gear? it’s not something you can tell by simply looking at a character.

tbh, it just sounds like a convenient excuse cos someone got roflstomped and had to blame something other than him/herself.

this is what I was thinking to on the ww3 thing. Must be the massive arrow above their heads and neon flashing lights saying “HAS ACENDED GEAR”

there is no issue with the downscaling. if u want it to be more diffcult turn up in blues or something jesus

And those areas starting to be empty due to people not going to them at 80 is because at lvl people dont wanna leave LA unless they really have to due to the LFG map channel and alot of people have completed the area so dont feel the need to revisit.

as a warrior i find it comical how people try to imply its an easy class while theirs is ooooooooh so hard. ive got other lvl 80 toons and they are far from difficult. I prefer the warrior personally cos of the weapon options, the armour looks cool and just staright up feels more fluid. But I will admit to be liking my pistols wielding theif as i level her up.

As my heal I always use the condition removal heal (forgive me for not remembering each abilities name). I use 2 signets. Stamina cos the fast regen so i can dodge more as a melee is just AWESOME. And Elite Signet cos lets face it, the others are crap.

Cant live without my bullrush and 3 secs of immunity to damage. Love that for when ya need to fast rez someone in a bad spot.

And dont forget alot of those 5 sig warriors wont be the type that visit forums or take the game so serious.

problem with randomized dungeons is you will ALWAYS get some dipstick QQing they want the easy path. Usually with the made up arguement that they have a real life and need to rush. Aka bull

If balanced correctly random dungeons are ace, pity the only stuff so far in GW2 of this nature sure as hell aint balanced.

Smelly Bookah.6957:

Rarre.8362:

Hi!
Dont know if anyone have come with this suggestion, but I’d like to preview my stuff I’d like to buy. like armor and weapons.

:)

Yes, it has been suggested numerous times. Moreover Anet said that they are working on TP improvements.

One thing that make me wander the most, is what the heck takes em so long.

probably cos it takes longer to code than write a post asking for it?

I agree with these suggestions, but Anet has already stated that they realise how they have introduced them wasnt as much of a success as they had thought, and will be implimenting other ways to obtain them.

they could maybe say you need to have completed the story to be able to race change if thats whats holding it back.

The thing is Quaz i do understand peoples worries about a gear treadmill. Now to me those treadmills can be good if done correctly. If it turns into the only people that can have good gear are those willing to treat the game like a second job then the games failed. If its a small upgrade and harder to get than say exo but not insanely so then Im fine with it.

The thing is that I like many others are giving them the benifit of the doubt because we feel exotics were so easy to obtain that they inital plan was to have acended gear as the final tier but it didnt make it in due to other factors.

I dont agree with the agony mechanic and acended gear. But thats a different discussion i think.

Quaz.4931:

Lutharr.1035:

dont forget windersday is coming so more free content. Then there are MASSIVE content updates coming jan and feb. There is loads to look forward to..

Building a house on sand will be easier to build but will fall over, building a house on rock will last much much longer.

Seriously more content where:
1) The game is a buggy mess, key gameplay features just plain don’t work, old AND new content alike
2) Content is built on the principles of vertical progression, and extra numbers being used as an incentive to play said content – rather than the content itself being enjoyable enough without extra numbers to play in.

Mean there is nothing for a lot of us to look foward to when “new content” is announced.

Well the first 10 levels of fotm u can do in greens so the whole vertical progression thing aint that relevant, you will see all the new levels and get to “enjoy” the game. If you want to progress further then thats a your choice. If you want to progress further to say lvl 20 all you need is 2 rings that drop from the daily (which I will concede need to be less RNG to get).

The house buillt on sand tbh is quite a silly way to put it. The game is solid enough otherwise a few million people wouldnt still be playing (even with the endless "Im quitting threads [which tend to be the same people over and over again]). If you dont like it fine, thats your choice, but alot more people are enjoying it than are not. So if thats the case maybe you need to start thinking about trying a different game or play GW2 with eyes open rather than trying to hate everything for the pure sake of it.

Quaz.4931:

If a person stops playing, they are quitting the game. This effects how much money that person then spends on A-net, gem store/expansions/merchandise. If you think quitting it impossible with a product that doesn’t directly cost anything per time spent, try actually using your brain.

I do agree that quitting is quitting. But since to play to begin with ya already invested a chunk of paper to Anet they wont be losing much sleep. The gem store must be in a healthy state otherwise they would push it more. So people are spending, and life goes on in GW2.

dont forget windersday is coming so more free content. Then there are MASSIVE content updates coming jan and feb. There is loads to look forward to. My only gripes with the game is the insane t6 farm (aka forced to buy gems) and the DE bugs. But if I am being totally objective about things. I dont know any AAA MMO thats in this good a shape this short a period after release.

WoW was in worse shape and I stuck with that for 7 years. Maybe people need to look at things as glass half full instead of half empty all the time.

Ansultares.1567:

Rukia.4802:

While I don’t disagree, I always laugh when people say that others are quitting the game in masses.

I’d say 90%+ of my guild has stopped playing; that’s at least several hundred players, if not more (it’s a very large guild). Some of them probably did break off to other guilds, but most simply left the game.

I don’t know how people, having witnessed contraction in other games and seeing it right in front of their face here, can plug their ears and scream “lalala only the devs know.”

Unless they’re just trolling.

well i must be a troll then since the guild Im in is seeing more activity than ever. But hey that cant be true cos everyones quitting. Hell ive even quit but it dont stop me playing.

Curlybaby.6258:

Count me as one who has not logged on since the 15th and had not visited the forums since the shameful reddit AMA “PR” whitewash event. I’ve moved on. The only reason I visited today was out of nostalgia. To see if anything had changed.

People should really stop trying to downplay the extent to which this fiasco has hurt this game. No one believes you. I know that me, nor any of my dozens of friends who played this game are currently playing.

For those of you who refuse to believe it’s impact, you must not have been around to witness the 11,000+ thread born out of the outrage from the ascended patch. That’s “eleven thousand plus” posts in one (1) thread. I don’t know about any of you, but I had never witnessed an 11,000+ post thread in my life.

That’s 11,000+!!!!

Out of that one thread alone, how many people do you think left the game out of disgust?

You can keep dismissing and downplaying till kingdom come. As far as the rest of us is concerned … we will not forget!

yes and all those posts were by different people, there defo wasnt tons of posts by the same people at all. And there definatly wasnt peopel in that same thread who liked the idea, and I know for sure non of those people posted more than once. So yes your quite correct. It was indeed 11000 different people all quitting the game. /facepalm

I like how these people come on the forums and make out DOZENS OF MY FRIENDS have quit the game. Ok if ya say so. Funny how in my guild not one single person has quit, or even cared about the change. I think some people are banging on their little drum way to much

Dont get me wrong I am not disgreeing with the OP’s idea as anything atm would be an improvement over the poor one we have now. I just personally think Anet are starting to show just how greedy they are.

Companies are set up to make money. There is no issue with that. But there is makign money and then there is taking the mick. I feel in this case its a calculated way to try anf force people to part with their money. Wouldnt be so bad if its only a few quid but this would add up to a quite sickening level.

Alorix.7460:

And then there’s the two phrases he’s constantly saying. Running to battle a horde of Risen, and Trahearne (the leader) has nothing more to say than ‘this won’t end well’, is kind of a downer.

Maybe cos he knows he is hated and expects a sword in the back?

robinsiebler.3801:

Way to go, Lutharr! You just keep the ball of hate rolling!

I actually wrote a song about all you people who have nothing better to do than trash each other and nothing meaningful to say to begin with…

The irony of your attempt at trolling is not lost on me.

Kaimick.5109:

runeblade.7514:

I don’t believe that a DPS meter will correctly see skill levels. However, gear inspection will see skill levels better.

A skilled player will avoid damage, a non-skilled player destroys DPS for survivability. The skilled player will not need toughness, vitality, healing power or any defensive stats if he never lost any hp. If the non-skilled player wore Berserker armor and died very often, it will be very easy to notice and you can kick them.

Gear does not equal skill, lol I as my guardian mitigated a AC explore boss ( the troll event ) better than the 80 guardian in HoTW gear. Please Gear = skill in a game that is not gear based. Take that WoWmentality back to WoW, hell even in WoW Gear doesn’t mean you have skill just means you have been carried enough times to get the gear.

Oh look someone using the very tired “go back to wow” BS. Just because you dont agree with his idea dont mean you have any right to act like you own the forums. Tbh every single time i see someone state they want someone to “go back to wow” Im plain just gonna report the post and move on. Cos such statements are plain pathetic.

Anet give this guy a job! Those are truly amazing pal. I would LOVE to see those in the game 10/10

ingame calenders worked awesomely well in WOW for organizing guild events

An Azura being taken up the aisle by a norn is just to weird

Ganzo.5079:

Wonderful suggestion

+1 from me

i dont agree only on the weapon reskin thing. Its without sense, you see a warrior with a GS, and you start take AOE damage from distance … its not funny ^^

as someone else said I dont mean have longbows looking like swords etc. A long bow looking like a crossbow is fine, greatsword looking like a greataxe. Aslong as they are a simular style weapon its not game breaking just adds cosmetic depth.

if ya look at the GS animations they would fit with an axe quite well. Not perfect I know but as a tempory measure they would only need to make skins.

I used to raid and chase DPS meters. If i wasnt on world of logs I was pissed off. Cos in that game it was actually useful. In GW2 its not needed at all. It would create much more than it would ever resolve here.

Id really like to see more cool things being purchaseable with skill points. I feel its kinda mundane what you can do with them currently. Id love to see what ideas others would have to spend this currency on

Cooler Elite Skills (note not OP) hell they could just be cosmetic only. Like Warrior signet of rage where on activation you take on a red hase or even change form (more suitable for norns). Guardians getting a blue fire aura etc etc.

New Weapon skills. The ability to buy a new skill for no 2 (any number 2 is just the example). For instance longswords hamstring could give a 2 sec stun instead of a 10 sec slow etc. And again as above with the elite ya could have the same skils but add some cool effect to go with it.

Trophies. Since SP is like your gaining more and more experiance as you travel the world, along the way you could collect trophies that you could use to adorn your armour with. Some berserker decorating himself with quaggan skulls etc, the limits are kinda boundless. A back banner etc

Weapons reskin. I dont mean your dagger would look like a longbow. I mean GS could look like a greataxe, longbow to xbow etc.

please leave constructive feedback
regards
Lutharr Blackmane

would be cool if they gave u say 3 options for each slot and you can only use one as part of your build. Would add alot more depth to builds I feel.

tom.7468:

Few weapon skills is why i lost motivation of playing its simply to monotone and boring. I even changed main pve weapon but didn’t take long until i got bored of those skills also. I think fun should be a more important factor than balance when it comes to the point where you are just ending up hitting 1 over and over hitting the same target.

Alot more people would stop playing if things were totally unbalanced than if they didnt add new skills.

Jack of Tears.9458:

What with the creation of the flying ships crafted by the Charr and Asura to fight the Dragons and their flying minions, I think it’d be the cat’s meow ta have a mini game which allowed Players to fly through instanced aerial combat scenarios.

Maybe Aerial Dungeons! Where the players get to hop into copters and try to shoot down dragon spawned foes, and harpies, and other nasty flying beasts … not ta mention the evil Asura group using their air ships to try and interfere with you efforts …. a whole beautiful slue of adventures could roll out of an idea like that. Large aerial battles against figures like the Shatterer, and some of the other lesser dragons; against War Dirigibles; Legenday level Harpies; et.

And, if you really wanted to step forward and do something super fricking awesome, you could turn “Air” into its own subsection of the game, mutch the way water is now.

They have the engine for it I think what with underwater combat being a full 3d enviroment. Just speed up movement and shizz and ya got yaself a winner

And btw ya cant argue against any request without feeling bad if the OP uses “the cats meow” as an expression of how cool such a feature would be.

throwing knives for theives would be EPIC
