Guild Wars 2

Here is the thread you did not find, with an official answer:

So just do it the way it needs to be done and move on.

I really don’t see these exploiters you are talking about, maybe my overflow servers don`t have them… Normally 4 out of 5 events are successfull with killing Scarlet at the end. And yes, there are always farm zergs for champions but I have never seen them not killing the aetherblade captains to spawn more champions. Normally they kill them, then move on the the next position… Yes events could be done faster if there were not so huge farm groups but more smaller groups doing all the events at the same time. But what for? The events are working, farmers are happy, everything is fine.

I’ll be going back to the events, looking for these “exploiters” I have to see yet^^

Same applies to the norn elite skills (wolf, raven etc). Please also put auto-attack on there.

Thank you so much!

Honestly… it is great that you had so many ideas and perhaps many people will like them.. but for me personally … I hope this never comes into the game… this only further increases the need to do some achievements and I prefer them to stay optional and not have pugs saying “to play with us you need xx achievement” … or things ending in a rage just because someone forgot to turn on/off their title like you said yourself.

Lonami.2987:

• Options to write long and classified pieces of text on your guild panel, for guild news and links. Editing shouldn’t remove the previous text. Message of day displayed in chat when logging in
• Last logged in in guild panel.
• Calendar with optional mail alerts minutes before it begins.
• Guild missions and playing with guildmates should have achievements of their own, with rewards that show guild progress and effort.

I quite agree with some of these improvements (some with slide changes ) the rest also sounds interesting but I really don’t care about them as much as the ones above

I assume you mean that by doing Kiel you unlocked all stages of Evon? Because this was what confused me^^
When you have the selection screen just select the lowest option for stage 1, since I realised it is in the order of stages:

Selection screen:

- first option → stage 4
- second option → stage 3
- third option → stage 2
- fourth option → stage 1

I honestly think this friendlist thing needs some work… but I think there are three aspects which need to be considered.
First friends/followers: I personally don’t mind that anyone can add me but I still think that it would be best to limit the option of followers (since these are people who put you on friend list, friends are mutual ones which you also put on friend list)… in my opinion they don’t need to see where you are, it would be enought that they can see you online when looking in their friend list (no message when you come online) because in my opinion followers can easily become friends / guildmates and if they could not see you at all it would be discouraging. But it would also help if you could put in a message that is automatically sent to followers whispering you when you enable it like “Busy at the moment, sorry for not answering”
Second is block option: It is ridicolous that people you block can still see you online even when you block them… since some people really go try find you… just crazy
Third is invisible option: This needs improvement. First we should be able to log in invisible and not have this option in the char selection screen where everyone will already have seen you logging into the game… second what use is an invisible option if everyone can notice you since all locations changes are still visible in guild / friend list… so my guild would know and the only thing that is invisible is the guild chat… makes real sense… not that I am hiding from my guild, but we were testing the options of the game and this is really a mess.
Hope to see some improvements to these issues in the future

I kinda like the female light armor, it is interesting even if I was hoping for some pants.
Heavy is also nice…
but medium… welcome back trenchcoat mafia -.-

Yeah same here (Drakkar Lake) really frustrating when your main character is in LA

Harder and harder?
I don’t think this one was too hard, even members of our guild who are not good at jumping puzzles got it done with a little help (like showing them how to get to some crystals). And if there is no way you can get somewhere just ask one of the friendly mesmers next door ;-)
To be honest I personally loved it, it was a lot of fun and at the end of visiting all the crystals I could not help but feel sad hoping for more of this content

Can someone explain to me why the heck I could mine quartz with my human necro in the asuran home instance?

Please bring this soon…. I still can’t understand how you forgot to add this, it is a standard stat combination…

I want world completion gone from WvW or a real fix for changing server colors… this is really killing WvW for me at the moment. I love playing WvW, but at the moment I want to get 100% with my char and this is not helping my server in WvW since lot’s of the points are out of the way… and what makes it worse… I am now waiting for more than 2 months to be red to finally get this done and we are always blue or green… same today.. we were green last week and are now green again… and if red is always the server which is 5-7 ranks better than you, there is no chance at all…
Before I liked playing WvW now I am just waiting for Fridays, checking colors, closing WvW window again and thinking lot’s of things I won’t repeat here since it would get me a suspension…

Fixing the block list so that you can’t be seen online by persons on it anymore is a must. I also agree that they should fix the option to appear invisible when logging in, the current situation is just useless, they should copy it from GW1 there it worked.

Adding an option that you need to approve of friendship invites could be an option to be inserted ingame, I don’t need it but I can clearly see why this would be a good option for many people.

But I really hope they never change that adding someone to your friendlist or guild shows the display name and all characters. It is annoying as hell to have your friend or guild list cluttered with all the character names of people and always needing to add new chars. And honestly, when I registered my account it told be it is a “display name” so it was clear to me it could be seen (on a side note, if you want to hide your display name, stop posting on the forums ). If some guilds are bugging you because you are not representing all the time, just leave, they are not the right guild for you / not tolerant in their guild management as other guilds. And if the issues above are fixed I see no reason why not all your characters should be shown on the friendlist since you could hide whenever you want.

I think a dungeon which needed every class would not be good since it would complicate the group play again.

But I fully agree that you should be able do have bigger groups for dungeons… I don’t know how hard it would be to implement but since there is allready scaling in the open world perhaps dungeons could scale in between 5-9 players. That would be a great addition in my opinion since then you could really sometimes do a dungeon with all your friends / guildmates without someone left out since it happens quite often that you are not exactly 5 / 10 / etc people and of course you can just take randoms but once in a while just playing an evening with friends where you don’t have to rely on strangers for having fun would be nice.

So I know that there should not be such a mass of skills like we had in GW1 at the end, but I think the game could improve by adding a few more choices for weapon skills.

I propose to add to all weapons a secondary skill for number 2-5 of the set. Meaning that everything except aut-attack are basically two skills, where you can choose on for fighting. These would give the weapons some more variety and also improve the utilities you have since sometimes weapon skills are just outright useless in some situations while good in others.

Example:
Warrior – Hammer: Skill number 4 (Staggering Blow) pushes the enemies back from you. This is a nice utility but for example in dungeons my group will hate me most of the time if I push the enemies away so this makes Hammer not such a good choice in this situation. It would be great if there was for example a second skill which draws enemies close like the gurdian greatsword skill. So people could swap between those to skills depending on what they are fighting.
This example naturally includes skills of the same mechanic like Ele Staff Skill 3 (Gush) etc.

So here are my mixed armors for necro, ele and guardian:

I am not sure if this bug is completely fixed. Sometimes my Glacial Eye disappears and only is shown again if I logg out and in again. Sure it is easy to fix but something still seems to spook the Eyes of the Elementalists.
Screenshot was done today when it happend again.

Always expiriencing extreme laggs or even disconnects with error 7 around primetime, since the last update.
Location: Swiss (Lausanne)

Same issue here.

Server: EU (Drakkar Lake)
Location: Swiss (Europe)

Build: 16732
Error Code: 42:0:9001:4105

Really great
I also hope that later on we will be able to guest on all (american and european) servers like we were able to switch die all servers an GW1 after some time

Great that the servers are back online

But I really hate this rollback that happened… fractal daily and two fractal chests lost… -.-

I think these were added to compensate people who did not recieve the correct amount of cogs because of a bug with the diminishing return effect. So it is intended that it is not enough to craft another pet :-(

I think these were added to compensate people who did not recieve the correct amount of cogs because of a bug with the diminishing return effect. So it is intended that it is not enough to craft another pet :-(

Also dissappointed by this, why can’t we do this as party… I wanted to play it with my guild mates and not with random people… :-(

Did you try restarting the game and talking to Tixx again / opening chest again? That helped for me.

When I was just playing in Dredgehaunt Cliffs I wanted to gather some iron, gold and some Seasoned Wood Logs. But in some nodes there were 1-2 materials and one piece of junk. For example an iron node gave me two iron and one ruined ore chunk. And I was using a steel mining pick which should be more than enough.

I really hope this will be changed back.
I also hope they change the selling of gathering tools back… I wanted to buy a copper pick in the first norn area and it only sold me iron ones because of my characters level. Sure it is not that much money but still annoying.

The jumping puzzle is great too!

I love the winter event in general. It is fun and relaxing. But you clearly achieve to disappoint me once again with your greed for money. One kind of minipets can only achieved in random chests, making it a lottory of how much money you have to spend to get them all… I bought the halloween pets since this was an clear trade of money for pets and not based on luck. And now of the other mini pets you only get two and have to buy the other three -.-
So now instead of buying something in the shop like halloween I will just enjoy the event and buy nothing in the shop because I am frustrated of this policy.

Are you in a group when you start this story line?
I also had this problem, I got into the instance and Trahearne simple did not start walking in. I tried it 4-5 times. Then the friend who was with me was to annoyed to bother and I walked in for a last try alone (no group) and it worked.

Kyzen.7452:

Server: Gandara
Dungeon: Arah (the gates)

The gate is closed no pre event, you guys fix the problem gate bugs out again rinse repeat when will a permanent fix come into play?

Same problem on Server Drakkar Lake. It is getting annoying, we are waiting weeks now to finish personal story.

I completely agree that the monthly WvW achievement should also change. I am not really into WvW but I don’t have a problem one part of the monthly being WvW since the monthly should be made up of different activities in my opinion. But it is really annoying that it is every time to kill 50 people. Just change it sometimes to something like “capture / defend points” or “do x events in WvW”.

I agree, I hope this will be changed, this is a serious problem for people with more than one main character.

I think it would be great if dungeons would scale for a party size between 5-9 players, so that no one is left behind if there are not enough people for two groups. And yes I know you can just take random people with you, but sometimes it would be nice to have just a guild group and not leave guildies behing.

I think the event was nice and if they manage to handle bugs and lagg problems in future events it will be great.

It’s just luck and the good thing is that the prices for precurses are dropping. And not everyone who got a precurser is a millionair now. One of my guildies got the “awesome” trident precurser, it is worth 8 Gold lol

No event on Drakkar-Lake or overflow server

Really? I hope this will change, I was hoping to switch to different characters when I feel like playing them and not hindering the progess of my guildmates with it…

NekomimiMode.4296:

Even better, when we got to the (presumably) final boss halfway thru the fight THE HAMMER DISAPPEARED, leaving us completely unable to finish and forced to return to lion’s arch… why… and the rewards for completing 1-2 fractals is really pitiful, I have no intention of putting serious time down until I know bugs are fixed.

I think this is intended. Because when we did the final boss the hammer despawned and after we downed the boss to a certain health level it appeared again, once we used it, it disappeared again and so on. Or did it disappear while the boss was invincible?

As far as I read the dev post, the game will save your level so you don’t need do to this in one run. So just increase the level whenever you feel like it and come back later to continue on a higher level.

In my opinion the problem is, that most GW1 players are dissappointed, because we trusted A-Net to not have an item progression system like we had in GW1 and that the way to go was to have harder dungeons and enemies where you have to develope skill to beat it and not new gear.
It is good, that some players are happy with item progression and I don’t resent them for being happy about it, but I honestly feel betrayed by A-Net since before the launch of GW2 in all their blog-post, manifestos etc they always said that there would be no item progression. And sure, the actual change in this game update will be minimal, but it is the start of a path I don’t agree with.

Yay for content
Nay for lying to us about item progession…

I admit I had a hard time adjusting to all the changes you did in GW2 compared to GW1, but I trusted you A-Net to do it right. And up until now I had a lot of fun in this game.

BUT now you are betraying that trust. You said on your own that there would be no item progression thing and yet now you do it. It might not seem like much if you compare stats of the gear, but the fact that there will be new gear you need to progress further in the word just proves that you were lying all along when you told us about the intentions and plans for GW2.

Can’t believe you are really doing this. You are downgrading an amazing game to just another MMO where you have to run after new maximum gear every few months. Really don’t see why we need that now, and just because some players want it, does not mean all players want it. And I always believed GW1 was a succesfull game and it worked for seven years now without stupid changes to maximum gear.
You are just reducing the fun in playing and making it into a gear grind.
