Guild Wars 2

You know you can edit your post, right? x) Anyway, I agree! Need more cute Asura stuff!

Aetherblade armor sets, please.
Glowing Green Mask, please.

I hope this Outfit will return soon. It’s the only Outfit I like on Asura. So cute, especially when I make it all colorful. They look like cotton candy.

The wardrobe/dye system.

Actually, I wish GW2 had Rift’s wardrobe system. They can mix and match different “weight” gear. Putting Plate and Chain skins on my Mage’s armor and using a Hammer skin on my Staff is FUN! I wish we could do that in GW2! Our dyes are better, though.

But other than that, some of the things I miss from GW2 in other MMOs:
1. Casting skills while moving.
2. Dodging.
3. “Best gear” is craftable and I don’t have to farm dungeons/raids all day.
4. No new level cap, my gear does not become outdated.
5. PvP is about skills, not gear.
6. Underwater combat. Yes, it’s neglected but what we have in GW2 is the best I’ve ever seen!

If you think that’s bad look at the female Sylvari’s foot and its painful angle. x)

I’ve been waiting for that backpack since forever and I can’t even buy it separately. -sighs-

Khisanth.2948:

Uh .. I just tested this and it is actually the opposite.

Starting with 51% LF in DR
Walk into the port to Ebonhawke end up with 69%
Walk back through portal into DR and it is now at 58%
-> Ebonhawke 78%
-> DR 65%
-> Ebonhawke 88%
-> DR 74%

Ebonhawke is on a mid lvl map, HP differences affect life force. Try lvl80 zones only, it will drain quickly.

Unpopular opinion: I’m actually glad Gem store stuff look nice because I’d rather spend 200 Gold on 800 Gems than thousands of Gold and/or lots of time on Legendary items. :c

HandsomeJohn.2960:

My character doesn’t feel real.

GW2 is a fantasy game in which we can use magical abilities to slay zombies and hungry plants, we can glide with shiny wings and train a baby dragon. I think unrealistic jumping fits perfectly… XD

Well, it’s expensive in other MMOs too. I actually restarted my main character 2 times because I didn’t like her name, lol. But then I got crafts to 500 and finished map completion just to unlock everything on her so I had to buy a name change contract. Getting my crafts back to 500 would be expensive anyway, not to mention redoing everything. Sooo I think it’s actually worth it on a “maxed out” character.

Ooh, fun stuff! I remember them mentioning crafting hp/mana potions once. I’m glad they dumped that idea, lol. Oh and the Sylvari redesign!

The existing armor skins return to the Gem store randomly, for a limited time. I’ve been waiting for the Aetherblade set to return since August… -sighs-

It’s nice on guys (hey, we ladies like eye candy!), too bad it’s just another trenchcoat…

-whispers- I hope Braham dies, I’m so tired of his whining.

Tekey.7946:

Personally, I don’t like all the cutesy stuff in the story and don’t want to see more of it in the upcoming episodes.

I thought I was the only one. xD; I don’t mind Aurene but… -whispers- I want to punch Quaggan in the face, they are so annoying.

Yes, my Reaper shouts were removed. But I put them back, lol.

I agree that we need more waypoints. Those thermal things don’t take me where I want to go, lol. However, I really enjoyed the story missions and the new map (yay for snowy places!). I like this episode more than the 2nd one.

Freakshow.1809:

Is it dyeable?

Nope. :c

Sooo, I’m one of those people who are not fond of huge wings but the Crystalline Dragon Wings go really well with my favorite weapons: Whisperblade, Vision of the Mists, Reaver of the Mists, The Anomaly, etc. I love semi-transparent items! With these wings, I can still see my back and my weapons! I appreciate that! Also, the glider is pretty and I like the sound effects. GOOD JOB, ANET! How about more semi-transparent stuff in the future? -throws money at the screen-

Redfeather.6401:

I have a sylvari engineer

Same, best combo ever. It’s weird because Engi is the most fun profession in the game, they have lots of toys to play with. I have a Celestial Engi and I can switch her build anytime.

I want Toymaker’s Bag. ;_;

Ardid.7203:

Meanwhile, 95% of the boots in Asura show the side toes clipping through.

True. And that won’t be fixed either. :c

Nikal.4921:

Those particular boots (Light Carapace) do the same thing on female Norns. It’s hideous and bothers me everytime I view my Norn from the side. Prolly my fave boots in the game, but they only seem to be proportionally correct on female Humans (don’t know anout Charr/Asura)

That’s so sad. I love those boots because I can make them colorful, they have good dye channels.

sephiroth.4217:

Mea.5491:

Wait, why are they blocking countries? O.o

I don’t know but I hope Australia doesn’t end up on the list.

Ikr, same with Hungary. We’re right next to Ukraine so now I’m scared.

Haha, that would be weird but awesome.
Offtopic: Your display name is my favorite band.

Wait, why are they blocking countries? O.o

I like boots and I want to wear them but the struggle is real. The one I am wearing right now isn’t that bad but it’s still too thick compared to my actual legs. Unfortunately, it’s been 4 years so I don’t think it will ever get fixed… But hey, I can dream, right? It took them like 3 years to remove Engi hobo sacks, lol.

No new race, fix clipping issues on existing races first…

I know, right? The worst thing is when I wear tight pants with one of those weird boots, my calves are thicker than my thighs. I’ve reported several Sylvari leg issues with screenshots, nothing happened…

Quaggans are overrated. :P -grabs popcorn-

Google “GW2 statistics”. Edit: Oh and click “images”. There are lots of stuff.

Ayrilana.1396:

If movement speed is more important then they’ll go with that. If another utility, trait, runs is more important then they’ll go with that. It’s simply a tradeoff which allows for variability in builds.

Do people actually do that? :o I’m super dumb then, because I use my speed signet all the time, haha…

Crinn.7864:

I don’t understand the issue. +25% movement speed is available for classes from specific runes, signet passives, and traits. Adding more sources just invalidates the things listed for no gain.

The point of the 25% movement speed Enrichment is to use it freely by any profession without taking away an important utility skill, trait or rune slot.

mtpelion.4562:

I think a better idea is to standardize access to 25% across classes. Pick either trait, utility, or rune and let all classes access it via the same method.

I think we shouldn’t waste utility / trait / rune slots on running faster. I use the 25% signet on my Necro but I would like to use something more useful while keeping my 25% passive speed. That’s why I recommended an amulet enrichment. I’m glad some people like the idea. c:

Ayrilana.1396:

I’d say no more than 15% if from an enrichment.

Then it’s not worth it, lol. Everyone would just stick with the signets for 25%…

I know better… 25% movement speed as amulet enrichment!

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Enrichment

YES PLEASE! No more weapon clipping! -throws wallet at the screen- Do it, Anet!

The semi-transparent purple “misty” weapons like Whisperblade, Lyssa’s Gaze, Vision of the Mists, Mirage, and so on… I just wish we had a full set, I want a Staff. The 2 blue bows aren’t bad either (Azureflame and Aether) but I prefer purple. I like anything that is semi-transparent because that makes clipping less annoying…

Tyria looks much better on my computer. Haha, sorry…

And then there’s me, all of my characters are Sylvari (female). Edit: I’m female irl.

It’s kind of optional, there are plenty of things to do. My endgame is mostly helping guildies, friends and newbies while having fun / laughs with them.

Aaand now we must type the chest’s name to destroy it… XD I’m pretty sure this is new because I usually destroy the chests. Edit: This was a dropped one, btw.

I’m not happy that 1 of the 3 rewards was a guaranteed ToT bag. I don’t want to sound greedy but… really?

Also, please bring back the Aetherblade armor sets. I have been waiting for the Light version since August just to finish my new look which includes 2 of the pieces. Freakin’ 3 months, man… : / And yes I have requested it (multiple times!) in the “bring back x item” thread.

“very little teamwork aspect of this game actually requires you to interact socially with other people”

Unfortunately, this is not unique to GW2, most modern MMOs are like that. I’m an MMO veteran and things were different 12 years ago. People actually had to socialize in games because they needed parties even to grind exp and level up faster (Ragnarok Online, Lineage 2). It encouraged talking and making friends because you had to spend hours together. Sure, I’m glad we don’t have to grind forever just to get 10% of our exp bar anymore but new MMOs overdo the solo content, people get used to it and want more. They don’t have the chance to learn how to socialize properly.

Remember when they made the Zhaitan fight soloable because people complained about having to group up ONCE in their personal story? Sad. I still do mine with groups and always start talking to “break the ice”. LOTS of people are willing to chat and have a fun time once they realize they are not surrounded by grumpy players. :P

Also, people are too reward-oriented nowadays. They don’t do anything that is “not worth their time”. They chase pixel money, rush through content, buy everything, max their characters and then they quit after a few months because they are bored. I could also take a break until the next story update because my characters are maxed but I still log in every day just to help my guildies and friends. This is what keeps an MMORPG fresh, not the shinies.

Cracker.2310:

I leveled in mostly empty zones.

We have megaservers now, you will find plenty of people on maps and some of them do enjoy chatting. But socializing is easier in a friendly guild. You might even find people to level up with.

Also, newbie dungeon runs! Seriously. I always help newbies who still enjoy the content and we talk and laugh a lot, no rush. I’ve made tons of friends that way. Do the story in dungeons as soon as you unlock them, search for “story – all welcome” groups in LFG. Those people are usually relaxed and fun!

Telemin.7380:

Maybe in the future, Anet will let us choose one of the two animation styles on character creation/make over kits. (hint hint)

That’s what I said! x)

(Offtopic: Also, idles!!! Let us disable / choose idle animations on char creation screen).

I agree. My female Sylvari uses the Vision of the Mists GS which is a “ghost” weapon made of purple mist, it is not heavy yet it looks like she carries a really heavy weapon and it looks awkward. Since some people like the current one, I think the best thing would be making weapon holding positions optional / choosable on the character creation screen! But then again, that is extra work for Anet so it probably won’t happen…

Wrongone.5763:

im looking for what others think might be a good choice to play one class to do everything pvp pve and wvw

Welcome back! You should try Engineer. My condi build melts people in PvP and my Celestial build is well-rounded in PvE and WvW (I don’t roam much, though). They have tons of stuff to play with so it’s impossible to get bored of the Engi.

LOL at this thread…

Okami.7049:

(My Power Build btw: GS (Main) and Axe/Focus (Secondary)

Same! Maybe another time we could talk about how to make Focus #5 more useful in PvE. :P I posted a thread about it a few days ago but not many people posted.

Anyway, I like your ideas. For #3 I would like a pulsing effect… Pulse 3 times instead of 1, transfer condis on 1st hit and maybe add weakness on the last hit? Does that sound OP? :P Or whatever, just make it more fun and have better damage…
