Guild Wars 2

Depends on if the majority of players want what I want :p

@Alex Why would legendary prices go down? Exotics were easy to obtain, and Legendaries were still priced very high.

A new dungeon path is something. Just sayin’.

Well, Precursors are still exotic, so until those get boosted I doubt these will. Though Ascended weps can drop from champ loot boxes, so I imagine there will be more ways to get Ascended weps in the future.

@Lightrayne Do you have a recommended rune set? I feel I can dodge well (I 1 and a half manned the SE final boss on my first try) and that if it increases my value to my pug, it’ll be worth grinding the new set. And recommended builds are also appreciated.

For awhile now I’ve been running a Knight/Zerker mix on my Guardian. I’d like to think I’m pretty good at the game, and can dodge, and I seem to be relatively good at that. I’ve often heard the argument in this game about whether or not Knight’s is useful. I was recently talking with someone and he made a really good point about Guardians. They have enough survivability by default that the Toughness bonus on Knight’s gear becomes redundant.
Currently I’ve been practically living in dungeons, and using an all Knight w/ soldier runes and zerker trinkets with a GS and Scepter/Shield combo. I’ve recently begun crafting to 500 (450 something now) and with all the effort required to craft an ascended weapon, I want to make sure it’s not a mistake to make it a Knight’s.

I’m hoping for a return of the old ones, and new ones.

You just buy it after a day of Frostgorge. :P Who ever said anything about having to farm mats?

The mats come from somewhere. The TP is stocked with extra mats, and when everyone goes from selling to buying, those mats are gonna go fast.

My Ideas:
*Crystal Eruption: An AoE attack that locks everyone caught in it in one of the dragons crystals.
*Crystal Shatter: An attack that targets a player (so it will display over their head). It only targets players frozen in crystals, and if it hits them, it frees them, but is a one-hit kill. It is done as fall damage so that you are sent right to the defeated state. If you are freed before it hits you, your a simply knocked down and take damage.
*Stomp: Similar to Tequatl’s stomp, but it is an AoE attack and has very high knockback. Cannot be dodged or jumped over.

I think new regions should be introduced gradually over the course of living story. Like a Cantha arc, Where over the course of say, 6 months we get access to a large portion (if not all) of Cantha. Every two weeks we get a new zone. That’s LS I want to see.

Sadness… I logged onto GW2 for the first time Halloween night 2012, so I missed out on the Mad King event. I was really hoping to get to try it this year

I think if an overflow is created on that map, the timer should go to 45 seconds to a minute. If your afk for over 60 seconds, your swapped out with someone on the overflow.

If your zerker, stay back and defend turrets. If you really want to land a hit on Teq, go PVT. Just know, because of the toughness boost you’ll take more aggro which means you’ll take damage even if you are the best dodger in the game (due to stamina refill time).

The one thing that bugs me about the fight is the sheer lack of cooperation on my server. If I had to guess, anywhere from 25-50% of the players on my server are AFK, and they just stand there throughout the fight. I think if someone is AFK for more than 60 seconds they should be auto-kicked.

This one can apply to the whole game, but it occurred to me because of Tequatl so I’ll put it here: A new condition. It occurs when there are 25 stacks of bleed on an enemy. They all get turned into this new condition (let’s call it Gash), and Gash does 25x more damage than bleed. Then, condition users can be more useful in these fights and will be able to damage Tequatl. It effectively makes the limit on Bleed 625 stacks, much better than the current 25.

Well, Berserker builds are probably the most OP specialization in the game, so it’s nice to see the Soldiers and Knights get a chance to shine

You can’t crit, so why would Knight’s shine?

And more importantly, how’s replacing one top set with another a good thing? It’d be much nicer if you could play anything and be just as viable in terms of usefulness.

Because they can take more damage in the fight, so they won’t need to be rezzed constantly. And it’s not a “good thing” it’s a better thing. It’s better to have one top stat for one thing and one top stat for another than to have one top stat for everything. It’d be best if everything was balanced throughout the game, but that’s not the case, so at least it’s an improvement.

Well, Berserker builds are probably the most OP specialization in the game, so it’s nice to see the Soldiers and Knights get a chance to shine

What if 25 stacks to bleed made a new condition? Say, “Gash”? It wouldn’t go over the 25 stack limit and it would allow condi-users to help in the fight.

1 o clock eastern is when I normally get the update.

If you can wait profit could be made with a little patience. Of course, you’ll probably get your ascended wep last.

@Andele Both are true. From Wikipedia the chance of getting 21 heads in a row if you flip a coin is 1 in 2,097,152. The 21st try is still 1/2 chance, but technically speaking the odds are better if you keep going (over all tries. Each individual try is still the same as the first).

Ripred.4605:

am I the only one that noticed the Commander Tybalt Leftpaw in the background?

There was also a Logan Thackery in the video. Lots of the testers were named after characters.

After Ascended crafting, I think we’ve got content to spare. What I’d like to see is more fixes like @Bweaty listed.

Why just old soundtracks? Are there not great boss battle music in modern games?

I hope it’s done on an activity basis on the rollout. It’d be pretty ironic if over half the players that were put in the beta weren’t actively playing the game.

That’s only a temporary boost for people who’ve crafted them before. It’s really just a head start, not an inconvenience. And the sooner people get done with their ascendeds the sooner they can sell the time gated mats to us

I’m a big fan of all the changes, though I would’ve liked, maybe, a bit of a story scene where we learn how Tequatl became more powerful?

I have FPS waaay lower than yours, and I don’t mind. Standing alone in a field I get maybe 30 FPS, and I still jump at the chance to do a big even though I’ll drop down to 12 fps. It’s better than the 0.5 FPS I got with the first lost shores event.

Only problem is if in my overflow there aren’t 80 players

20 dragonite for clearing Sorrow’s Embrace Path 1 and 3. (40 total)

o_O?
Dungeons should be giving Empyreal Fragments not Dragonite Ore …

Lol, sorry typo >.< I was reading everyone talking about dragonite so I wrote that .

@Zanryu Well, unless I’m mistaken ANet hasn’t made it harder to get legendaries so the recent spike is just the player base’s fault.

Grimstar.6931:

Can anyone confirm whether or not you can do the same dungeon over and over for 20 empyreal fragments?

I got 20 for running a dungeon a second time in the same day, but it might have been a glitch.

It’s not ANets fault that there is a spike in prices unless they made it rarer. It’s players’ faults.

I like this idea. As a “dungeoneer” I have excess Bloodstone Dust and it’d be nice to sell it vs hoarding it all… (I might just have to make an alt to hold it all)

I like the color of the green GS and it matches my stats. I just want dyes for the colors so I can makes ascended armor to match

Salvage it for Essences of Luck and try to earn the MF back? Give it to an alt? Salvage it for mats and make Ascendeds?

20 Empryeal Shards for clearing Sorrow’s Embrace Path 1 and 3. (40 total)

@Alex it’s not hard to understand. It’s just if we pretend they are, it’s easier to get made at ’em (for whining about their OCD getting messed up)

@Markof Your analogy doesn’t fit. Completing an area serves a purpose (map completion) but getting a full list doesn’t.

@Chrisplosion You win the thread my friend.

@Olba But then they could sell it to us The more crafting items in circulation the better IMO (even if I have to buy it, it’s better than waiting two weeks)

@SpyderArachnid The one problem with your analogy is that gear actually has a use. You guys just decided to waste 400g on something trivial and now that Anet is taking it away your throwing a hissy fit. While it is annoying, devs shouldn’t have to tip-toe around OCD players.

@Elbegast Why did you craft them in the first place? (And I never said "you got the exotic from leaning them, that’s your reward). I still fail to see the importance of having everything discovered. If you didn’t want the weapon (and obviously you didn’t) then why did you do it in the first place? To say “I’ve discovered every exotic in the game”?

Elbegast.6970:

Morsus.5106:

So wait, the problem here seems to be everyone likes to have a full list of every exotic craftable in their little tab? You’re complaining because of your Uber-OCD? Sounds like your problem. You can still craft them in the discovery tab, so all this really does is not make them show up.

No, we are complaining because it cost us a Metrica ton of gold to discover those recipes (more gold than the exotics were worth) and now we have to spend even more gold (because inflation sucks) to relearn them.

What’s making you “relearn them”? You can still craft them via the discovery tab, what’s the big deal about having them discovered? OCD?

That sucks Removes the purpose of it after getting to 300% MF.

So I can get Bloodstone Dust and Empyreal Shards in dungeons. Then I go do a temple in Orr and I’ll have plenty of mats

zerotwo.4731:

The reason players will craft these items is for the prestige. The stats gain is minimal. Simply using exotics is enough. Yet players will rush to craft the new items so they can walk around showing off their time consuming, overly priced, goodies.

You mean sorta like legendaries?

percival.1934:

imo, having 2 sigils in 1 single weapon is kinda OP.
having 2 switchable sigils when ure out of combat for 2h legendary is interesting tho

If you go 2 1-handers you can get two sigil slots. Then it balances the game between 2 handed and 1 handed.

Legendaries… no… really cool skins that don’t count as legendary… sure.

I’ll be rushing to get a Greatsword right off the bat, but after that I’ll be going for a Scepter and a Shield.
