Guild Wars 2

@Danikat : I assumed that too =P, likely as if we are “Getting back on time” to live what happened on Lion’s arch while the pact was fighting mordremoth. But then, happened to me to notice that Lions arch was also affected by mordremoth (Aka destroying his mains Waypoint), so it still break lore timeline.

@mercury : You are assuming I am talking about every plotlines in game, but no. I am talking only on the main storyline focused on the “Living story”. Lions arch destruction and rebuilding is very tied with living story over all =P

We don’t even have info on when will be the next beta test, so no one have info on invitations yet. (Unless someone actually got an invitation).

Linken is mistaken, probably talking about the last beta test.

Thank You Stin, removed that pesky cat from the title

I run staff ele very often into High end fractals.

But keep in mind that elementalist (Even more staff) isn’t the easiest profession to play, and you need to be experienced with elemental rotations and change of skills to be a good ele at high fractals.

So, yes it is very good and have a heavy dps/party support as long you know how to play with it.

Actually, I took a break. I play 20 minutes/day for my daily’s, and log off.

Having a great time trying other games around (Even more now that I can play FF on steam).

No, thank you.

This is the very unique reward that shows off how much effort you’ve put in the game as a whole (Pvp set is unique to pvp, so it not count). It is easily attainable for someone that play 2 hours/day. I play 30~50 min a day and I got 21k points myself.

I just noticed that there is a “hole” lorewise into the timing of LA rebuild.

As far as we were told, we are “Frozen” in time from the end of Season 2 until the launch of the expansion, since the expansion is set right after the end of the last chapter of season 2 .

So, if we are Frozen in time, how does one city get completely rebuilt in beween those 2 points of the lore? (End of last chapter/Start up of expansion).

Well, I am not that sort of nerd into the universe of tyria, but still, i found quite interesting how this don’t make sense at all x)

EDIT: Anet, please get rid of all those cats. Since when “Hole” is a censured word? “Hole” =/= Kitten.

What I love about gwynefrydd, is that you can “Promote” him into a candy corn cob at mystic forge x) .

One could think that the drop rates are high enough to you earn it often, so you can dispatch the extras.

They’ve said 3 weeks of specializations, we got 3 weeks.

They are not obligated to have everything ready just because you want to know. Probably we’ll have another 2 weeks brakefrom specializations until they get more ready. I am betting into 2 weeks brake, then 3 weeks of specializations, then another break, and at last the 3 last specializations.

Of course, as sooner the better

Ah you guys… facepalm.

Its obvious that the special announcment ruby has hinted is the rebuild of Lions arch, and YES, it si kinda special.

If for you guys, bringing back the main city HUB to its former glory is not special, okay, but for a lot of people that actually play the game rather than whine on forums its a very cool information.

The information on changes at wxw upgrades are just a plus on the incoming expansion, not my taste, but I am happy that they used this week for it.

Don’t know if it works, but try to join a instance of someone that have this particular episode maybe?

Aren’t you confusing it with the panda?

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mini_Red_Panda

Nvm, just found that there is indeed a Mini Fox kit. Not yet released, but surely a incoming gemstore mini.

Based on this picture:
https://d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/934feLA2.jpg

Those constructions resembles a lot of the city of gods constructions:
http://images.mmorpg.com/images/galleries/formatted/372012/7d6d9aaf-6ee2-4b5e-8dd8-87cc1227f5a7.bmp

So, my question is : Is the rebuilt Lions Arch embased on Orr constructions?

And on another quote, is just me or the new Lions arch seens more like a completely new city rather than a rebuild?

You guys are missing the fact that he is running on a 65 " monitor.

Well, I have only 2 Tips for you, and I ain’t sure if it would work. First one is go on F11 into gw2, and change the Layout from small to “Larger”, it should at least increase a little yout overall map/skill/chat bars. But as a 60’ monitor, I think that the only way to fiz, is change your screen resolution to a smaller resolution ( you run what? 9k per 6k or something like that?) Try to change to a usual 2k per 1,8 to see if it becmes too bad.

After all, those screens aren’t made to play dude, they are almost a home cinema, I don’t see a reason to play a pc game on a screen like that.

Sorry, being direct here, the problem is you.

As a thief, either you don’t play it very well or you just are not rightly build for this sort of gameplay. I play thief x ranger, and the names bow skill that hits for over 20k is easily avoidable, even more for a thief with at least 5 dodge mechanics and 3 break-stun skills.

I don’t see a problem here.

I am reaching GWAMM, and 50/50 in 2 weeks from now probably. I’ve been playing for 8 months so far.

Not even that hard, you want it, earn it. Its a fun game to explore.

The one that is most skilled. No other factors involved, on your example.

lordkrall.7241:

Who decides what is “important” enough to celebrate? Besides we all know how well people here take repeated festivals and stuff, so why bother doing it, if all they are going to hear is complaints and rage every year?

Hi krall. Well, this is a decision of the anet team itself. In Guild Wars 1 for example they decided that pirates day (Makes a lot of sense in gw2 universe) and Breast Cancer Awareness Month were important enough to “Celebrate” in game.

People will always conplain, but this doesn’t represent the whole community, neither the major part of it. If you think that anet should stop doing content because complaints, then the game would be death in a few years.

We have haloween, and X’mas.

I can only remember those 2, isn’t gw2 missing more festivities dates along the year, like easter in april, or the gw2 anniversary itself (We don’t have a in-game festival to celebrate the gw2 anniversary). I’ve been playing gw1, and it seens to have a lot of important dates celebrated into the game, i kinda miss this in gw2.

PS: Not talking about Gem store festival promotions, okay? This is not the way to “Celebrate” a important date into a game

I really hope we have actually MORE undewater content. I find the UW system of the gw2 the most awesome UW system I’ve ever seen in a rpg. It is a lof of fun, either with a ele trident, or with a war spear.

I can’t even imagine how will it be the bubbles fight if anet moves to follow the people complaining about UW combat.

It was already too much annoying that they removed raid of the capricorn (Was my favorite map).

Just like mordrem organs? Well, time to stockpile extractors again

Hearts of north (Gw1 : Beyond)
Heart of mists (Pvp playground)
Heart of maguuma (Gw2 expansion staging)
Heart of thorns (Gw2 Xpansion)
Renown Heart (Gw2 Quests)
Heart of corruption (Frozen Maw Stand Stone)
Heart of darkness & Heart of fire (Quest itens)
Heart of stone (Stonemist Castle place of power)
Heart of the bear (POI)
Heart of the priory (Priory Base central)
Heart of the raven & Heart of the Snow Leopard (Norn cultural shrines)
Heart of the tower ( Final placement fight of Tower of Nightmares )

Isn’t guild wars sooo heartful? <3

Guild alliance is one ot the features I most miss at gw2. I think that it could be even more improved in gw2, by allowing an alliance chat, and also alowing us to participate in guild chat without representing (Multiple guild chat tabs).

OK.. you are comparing HoT with LS s1, or even S2? Makes me laugh.

HoT:
? New Content
– 3 New biomes :
– Canopy
– Ground
– Roots
(I am betting in 6 new maps, but we don’t have info. We only have confirmed it will be a pack of maps, and not only one).
– New legendarys, and rework on old way to acquire legendarys
– New races to interact with
– New civilizations
– A new set of monsters/mobs and creatures.
? A new Hub City
– It has been confirmed into the masterys, that the golden city is indeedly a new Hub.
? 9 complete sets of profession updates, what means:
– New profession mechanic
– New skills/Healing/Elite.
– Acess to a new weapon.
? A complete new profession
– New role to play
– A handfull list of new weapon skills and mechanics
? New game mechanics
– New conditions an boons (Taunt, Slow,..)
– Reworked defiance system
– New reward mechanic to all maps in tyria
– New way to acquire precursors
– New challenging fights (Wyvern is the example on live, but we have the whole thing about face the champions of the new races, and the “Challenging content” that is still set to be talked about)
- Masteryes, that allows a whole new set of game mechanics, such as:
? Gliding
– Acess to new areas
– Allow you to hangglide instead of fall to death
– Quick travel trough high/low areas
? Mushrooms
– High Jumping o acess good strategic and chock points
?PC character voice over (YES! our character talks again, and not on stupid cutscenes only, or rough pop baloon messages).
? New game mode (Stronghold)
– New map mechanics
– New environnment studd to play, and tatics to try
– Leaderboards
? New WxW Borderland
– Okay. “Only” a entire set of complete new mechanics for each keep, for each tower, and for general sentrys, and camps.
- New siege weapon
- New map bonus
? New Guild benefit
– Guild halls
? New Storyline
- No, I don’t believe its gonna be some freaking filler episodes. We are going to deal with Mordremoth itself.

Okay, thats is ONLY what we got confirmed so far, since we still have the factor “Surprises” that every exansion have, and we still are like 3-4 months away from the release of the expansion.

Please, don’t even try to compare Living world seasons, with expansion pack. I loved both living world seasons, But I see then as filler content for while we wait bigger patchs. Also, this is the first Expansion and they stated that 2 things delayed a lot then: The launch at china, and the fact that they took a lot of research into the CDI’s topics to rewor the game as a whole.

Dakinia.8923:

Hmmm I am not sure how legendary gear would work. At least with the weapons they have special animations, can’t really do that with gear. I guess being able to change the stats on a whim would be nice though.

Thats my main issue. As a elementalist, the thing I want at most in the game is a full set of legendary gear. Total versatilty without need to get 4-5 sets of ascended gears on my main =P

So, coming again back to mid year of 2013 blogpost, where it was mentioned that new type of legendary gear would be introduced along with new legendary weapons, I was really expecting for it to come into this expansion.

But the blogpost says only about weapons, and exactly name it as new legendary weapons. No word on new legendary gear. Can we still hope for legendary gear into this xpac?

Yes sir. I am having the better game experience i ever had in a mmo.
And no, I’m not being sarcastic. I played the whole LS s1, the LS s2, and I can really say that the expansion is far better thatn any of the livings seasons. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the Living world seasons, but the expansions seens a lot more stuff and real content. I am sure that I’ll lose hours over hours on the adventures trying to get the gold medal, and beating the forest champions of the golden city.

Considering this:
http://gw2.178.com/201503/221350161556.html

One might think they’ll post this here in a few hours too.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/email-not-registering-for-HOT-mailing-list/page/2

This is the first thread I found, but there’s more, I just have not the time to dig in deeper.

Also, As I said, I’ve been trying to sign up into a weekly basis and have not ever, ever received any e-mail from anet about heart of thorns. So, maybes, maybes it not bugged, but it is very likely it is. Would be nice have some more clarification into it. =)

People didn’t get it right. I am only asking for the fix on the subscription for HoT news. And of couse, that I am actually into the pool of the “Possible” selecteded betas.

What this topic is about, is tht the subscription is bugged, and what is more appealing, is that it is bugged for ppl that is already signed up from years (Like me).

Yes, i haven’t received any e-mail, ever.

Yes, checked spam and trash box, and tried to subscribe into almost a weekly base to check if it is working or not.

I feel cheated :\ .

Because I’ve been following every thing since the announcement and tried to subscribe into there since the very first moment.

Until now, I have tried over 20 times, and still no subscription confirmation e-mail, no new’s about HoT into my mail. Yes, I’m between one of the lot of players that simple can’t subscribe into it because of the bug that who knows why has not been fixed.

Well, I was fine, because I was following and checking every gw2 page every day, but then I noticed that the betas are for people in a pool of people that have subcription into HoT news website.

So, am I left out of the pool due to this bug? if so Anet, can you fix it? Thank you

The video you are looking for, is this one:
http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2/b/627401366

Not sure the exact timer, but for sure is this one.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/Have-to-buy-HoT-to-create-a-Revenant/first#post4867494

No. As obvious as it is.

There are a lot of other “Leaked” confirmations there as well, such the “Engineer” named screenshot , the “Golden Hub”, the “Mordrem Wyvern” (Some ppl was thinking it had nothing to do with the dragon itself).

Indeedly, very nice find.

Dunno. I only know that I threw in 4 super random rares for daily mystic forge today, and got storm back.

Not bad, change 80s for 450g.

Actually, we have a node for scraps (Basic ones), but sadly, it is locked behid gem store for home instance only.

Confirmed : New elementalist weapon is a magic wand, and new elite is a patronum.

Look right at the tower on back of the scenario, the shadow figures circling around the tower.

Seens awesome

Hi,

I only want to know if there will have more new info regarding HOT at PAX east, or if it will more like a repeat of PAX south.

I ask, because I’ve followed every released info about HoT so far, and I really liked to watch the new live on Pax South on Twitch, so I was wondering if any new infor worth to watch will be also shown on Pax East.

anything?

About your arguments about “Exploit” in monthly achievments, theres only one, and ONLY ONE time that monthly gave a bit more points for ppl that completed prior to a certain patch, could earn monthly twice into the same month.

What you are “Presuming” to be a exploit for more points, because they pass the ammount of points wiki state is possible to had obtained..
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Monthly

.. is just sitting into another page of the older achievment points sytem:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Monthly_PvP

So, yeah, keep complaining because ppl have likely 100 points ahead due to one patch fail. Seensto be worth complain about it no

roll eyes.

You guys, serious.. are you being serious?

I think you guys missed some parts, so I’ll explain slowly and clear:

Living Story Season 2 was all about a setting the stage to the HoT expansion. The expansion itself will have a new full story line (That will probably end up dealing with mordremoth).

So, the Expansion itself is the conclusion of the mordremoth arc, it has nothing to do about “Season 3” happening there. Once we get the Heart of Thorns, we’ll have a full story content into there without the need to wait 2 weeks for other episodes. See it like a new version of personal history if you desire so.

Will we have a Season3? This has not been even asked to anet staff so far, and seens like that no one is real interested in ask.

If you want to know where do I take references, first one is the hot page:
https://heartofthorns.guildwars2.com/en
“Experience new events and new storyline”

And other more fullfiled details is at the XPAC Announcement, where they talked about the expansion pushing toward the fight against mordremoth. You can find the full announcement on YouTube or Gw2 Twitch channel. If you want to take off your doubts, of course.

Hi, This is a “For science!” Topic on general loot table of maydrey II Gifts, and Star of gratitude rewards.

Well, sorry for it being so messed and no video recorded, but its late here and I’ very sleepy. But going for what interest, here are the research overview:
__________________________________________________________________
My little lovy Mawdry <3 (x250)

• T6 mats: 23 (includes 3 Cores, and 3 valuable T6 ones)
• T1~T5 mats: 536
• Cook/Jewels: 218
• Trash stuff: 793
• Rares: 7
• Exotics: 1
• Other stuff: 1 geode, 1 zhaitaffy, 1 toxic spore, 1 ecto, 1 glob of dark matter

My toughts: : Quite meh, I am not a cooker, but if you are, you should be happy with those gifts. On other hand, a quite handful number of low tier crafting mats, and even one exotic weapon (mace). Nothing too great, but still nice.
__________________________________________________________________

What a wonderful Gift! (x250)

• T6 mats: 3 (plus 1 Charged lodestone \o/ )
• T1~T5 mats: 76
• Cook/Jewels: 146
• Trash: 782
• Rares: 8
• Exotics: 1 lv80, 3 Stat-choose <lv55
• Other stuff: 1 Empyreal star, 1 Vision Crystal, 6 Doubllons (At least1 Of each type), 14 Dusty Boxes of Winter Clothes, 2 Undentified red dyes, 1 unidentified green dye, 1 Ted bear (Rare lv 30 acessory).

My toughts: It have a significant lower drop rate of crafting mats, but in other had it have some interesting stuff on it loot table (Such as the gifts and the undifentified dyes). I find it more interesting on opening to be honest.
__________________________________________________________________

Final Notes : There are also a lot of random green drops, blue acessorys from karma, and salvage mats (even one from the Flame and Frost LS), but I didn’t had take notes out from those.

The general rewards aren’t quite That great, but it is still better than stokpile usesless ascended stuff, and of course, that teddy bear is awesome _.

OBS: 50 full stacks of each mat are recquired for 250 gifts, I hope that this research can help on wiki drop rate table, if anyone wanna add it there. Cya, o/

Hi all.

I’ve been buying all the luck envelops every day (Plus some out of dragon ball) and saving the drop to catch up if I profited or lost money.

Well, end of event and:

• Spent
  210 Gold spent on envelops

• Got back
  215 Goldem ram figurines (191,9,20 G)
  3 Ornamental golden trophie (26,66,64 G)
  201 Various Fireworks
  41 rare/exotic Foods
  1 Lucky ram lantern
  28k Luck
  80 Blue foods

So, sorry for the ones that didn’t believed on the envelops, but final count is:
Profit $_$

What about you other guys? Anyone else did the maths?

It will be very kittenly ppl able to spend money on gems, or with enough gold to convert will have it.

#IfUKnowWhatIMean.

Really? Even with trailer SHOWING rytlock channeling glint, you guys still didn’t noticed that one of the legends will almost for sure be glint?

Just to increase on the list.
- Yesterday : A friend of mine got stuck on plains of ashford for more than 10 minutes.
- Today : I got stuck on caledon forest and didn’t got able to log until I restart the client, swapped characters, and got the same char again. (Also, my other 4 party member got stuck). Just when we finished TA foward path, and we clicked to leave the dungeon.

Breaks my cog-hearth . Still, Anet is the first company that is trying some quite different things (Such put the sylvaris as a bullied race), but still… about the “Other players” conflicts on each another, that isn’t quite true. Who killed scarlet? I can say for sure. It was me. But you would say it was you.

Who was the tybalt best friend? I for sure will say that no one else other than me liked more that guy, but as well we have whole dedicated guilds for tybalt lovers. I don’t see how it would be so different into a “Romance” case with PC. Because it is a “Personal” story after all, if anyone feel like that their PC is unique, then it is just a player own syndrome.

:D

Hi.

This might seens strange and too nerd, but ever since I knew about gw2 I loved asuras a lot. My main is a asura ever since… hmm. Ever.

I’ve named him acordingly to the asura cultural names, I’ve set up his personality as a genious asura, And I really only feel like being myself on game when I play with him.

Now, on this last chapter on the scene after the assault on pact camp, I ain’t sure if all races get that little dialogue about zojja worries with pc, But I found it so nice , My PC would surely Fall in love.

Can I? I mean, likely live a romance into his personal history? =P . THis game is already almost a living movie, why not add PC romance too?

I’ve almost deleted my ranger (Only to change his name without spending ridicously 800 gems) some months ago. Then I realized he was my 3rd char with full map completion, and well over 1k skill points. Well, then I changed my mind. Mapping is way too much time effort.
