Guild Wars 2

Carrying barrels to worm brings me memory of GW1. I like it :P

LS S01 Finale: Rise of some Elder Dragon, prelude to new Personal Story arch. New features and patches when new playable regions are introduced. … There IS an expansion pack coming in a form of living story updates. New elder dragon MUST rise soon. It is the main motif of the game.

thank you

Where did you hear that there will be new stat – ferocity ? I would like to read about it more

Liadri was awesome… I always imagined GW2 bosses to be like this before the launch. Instead, we got dummies with millions HP and stacking damage tactics.

Mr Ko Killer.7206:

JQ becomes the 3rd NA server to down the giant scrap metal beast…Congratz all who helped!

The only suggestion I can give, is basically ensure that each lane (we called the 5 paths lanes) has at least 25 people, 5 people per platform, we only failed twice, but I think the max you can fail without having to really worry too much is three times. GL guys, and happy achievement hunting!

Congratz for your mechanic moa mini!

Lol, I was wondering when they change COF p1 … but I don’t mind… I can CC some lame flame legion pretty easily.

I see nothing explained…

It will come in summer… Funny thing is, I will be staying in USA for a whole summer and as I am from Europe, I won’t be able to play for like 7 living story updates
Region lock was a great idea, Anet. GG :P
I might actually visit you in Seattle

There is no region-lock as far as playing the game. The only ‘lock’ regarding regions is when registering your game. Once registered in the region in which the game was purchased, you are free to play your game anywhere in the world.

If you bring your computer with you (or have access to another one) to the US during the summer, you can play just like you could from home, wherever that may be. =)

You just made me so happy! Thank you! I didn’t know about it

Please, give us a precursor building option :’(

I got around 6 keys since the release

Another thing that has me a wondering a little…. Why add a second world boss to Bloodtide Coast? There are other maps that could use a permanent addition of a world boss.

What world boss is at Bloodtide Coast? I can’t recall any…

The Hydra Queen..you’ll find it under boss achievements. It’s a pain to get that event chain to trigger though.

Edit: Taida Covington by name.

Thanks. I’ve been playing since launch and have never once fought that thing. What a shame.. now I’m interested.

Ohhhh wait. Now I’ve killed her. She’s the pirate that you end up fighting in the ship or something like that. There’s a Skill Point around there too I believe.

Hydra Queen had me thinking a multi-headed monster……kinda like this new Wurm.

However, it is a pirate boss. Hydra is just a nickname

I don’t understand what are your expectations people. Living story content is great, I don’t say it has a strong story, but it is fun! I, for example, loved scarlet invasions and it is sad that almost nobody does them by now. Everyone just farm their way to legendary and forget about all the fun

Medazolam.3058:

I think the wurm is a side effect of the ‘mysterious probes’, scarlet trying to awaken a specific dragon has also riled up this new wurm.

It was thinking the same

Wiki is written by players, not developers. So it is just assumption of what happened.

Haha, zerkes :P maybe my “useless” soldier guardian will really become useless as he won’t have to save as much zerker butts as up to this date. (Of course if they take resolution to grind different set of ascended gear :-/ )

… onto the compost heap.

Are we going to get SAB returning shortly after?

Because lets be honest. This is the only living world update the majority of people enjoyed.

Actually, we have metrics on every LW release. While SAB was indeed successful in terms of participation, so were the other releases (Scarlet ones included). I understand that forum feedback can color perception on which releases were the most popular/best received/most enjoyed but opinions on this are largely anecdotal. Please keep that in mind.

Now to your question: will we see a return of SAB? That’s not for me to say, but if it were to come back, what would people like to see from it? Harder/easier content? New world? More/no Moto story?

Or would you like future LW releases to cover other topics? Share your thoughts, but please keep it constructive. Thanks.

Hi Bobby,
I find SAB one of the best things about GW2. However, this is not a platform game, so if you release next SAB chapter it shouldn’t be solely about SAB, but also about events impacting the game world.

Of course, you should continue Moto story, it was interesting. And I think that difficulty of World 2 was the point which you shouldn’t cross in next releases (maybe in hard mode.)

I have 2 requests for you:
1. Divide Zones into shorter areas, so people won’t have to play 2,5 hour to finish the W2Z3…
2. After finishing all four worlds of SAB, make it permanent content on your third anniversary or something.

Me too, but they will never do it … at least not globally

This is a work of NC Soft. Well… at least I won’t feel bad when I switch to TESO.
Broken main manifesto statement is unforgivable.

Healix.5819:

If Lion’s Arch was sieged, from a player’s point of view, the battle should seem too easy. Then suddenly from the other side, <…> destroys a section of the city (insert cinematic). <…> dies and the siege of Lion’s Arch ends in the player’s defeat. Where will you go now? Lion’s Arch was lost.

There are five more major cities yawning from emptiness.

Ok guys, you made me laugh…. I do hope Anet will make final elder dragon fight more interesting and especially at least a bit of a challenge.

shanan.8594:

oh maybe all the Asura gates will be down and then… wait for it…..the implementation of mounts!

never gonna happen

Bagel.4598:

Wrong, Scarlets thumpers make a continent-wide earthquake destroying all the buildings, including the newly added player housing rendering them useless.
She then disappears until the next update.
Leaving players once again dissatisfied with more kitten content.

Apart from your criticism the continent-wide eartquake seems to be logical outcome of those thumping machines. And we are back to Primordus… it is known that waking of elder dragon changes the landscape (emersing of Orr). And if he will come from Ring of Fire isles then coast of Tyria will be his first victim.

I watched the newest video and now I am pretty hyped!
It looked really sinister and Lion’s Arch will be probably under siege.
There are only two questions lying in my mind: will Tengu come to help defending LA?
Who or what will besiege LA? Could it really be Primordus?
Last picture shows destroyed asura gate and air full of reddish glow – probably fire… and heroes of Tyria escaped primordus once by going through Asuran portal, it seems only logical he will destroy portals in the city.
I think dark times are ahead of us.

I crafted heavy ascended chest and leggins and then I realised that ascended is just something for people who likes to grind. There is almost NO boost compared to exotics… there is 4 +2 +2 more stats and i think +10 defense rating. Another +5 (30 in total) stats from infusions. So in total it is 66 stats and some defense… that is the same or even lesser boost than food consumables which are virtually unnecessary for players, they can just help a tiny bit.

Now I will slowly craft other 4 pieces of armor but I do it just for nice skin. I didn’t even buy infusions.

What I don’t understand about myself is, why I rather don’t sell the mats and hoard gold for the precursor I want since launch

I salvaged my third AC soldier helm with BLC kit today and no inscription. I hope I am just unlucky and don’t do something wrong.

Especially it is totally wrong and should be changed!!!

great, then I just spent mats for nothing….. stupid crafting

Celestial Intricate Gossamer Insignia doesn’t appear in discovery panel.
I haven’t discovered any exotic celestial armor pieces yet, so I am certain it is bugged.

0. Not very wise choice Anet

I heard that first time reward should be karma potion, I’m getting only 3 gifts. Is it as it should be?

I didn’t even have time to play yet be thankful, for me it would be reward just to play

Amater.4038:

snip

They won’t be doing tranlation for +-10000 players, deal with it.
(Zmier sa s tým, je nás príliš málo… radšej sa nau? anglicky/nemecky/španielsky/ francúzsky )

Fror.2163:

Wait, what??

There’s more MF the higher the level is? oO The final chest is in direct relation to the level, yes. But you have more MF when you play a 48 instead of a 1?

yes

Fafnir.5124:

People who get to 80 aren’t for skins but to mine the mobs and get mad gold one 80 dredge run I think nets 5-10g.

Well, indeed, that is/was pretty nice. Personally I hate dredge fractal, the first room with unlocking the door is pain.

You still don’t understand that old 30+ levels were thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much easier that new 30+ levels? That’s the only reason why they deleted the last 20 levels. and 51+ were not supposed to be obtainable so Anet doesn’t care about those.

why aren’t they supposed to be attainable. So heres the Story for some of you even if I’m an old acient relict I gonna tell you this: Anet realeased a new dungeon with infinite Levels Players wanted to go as high as they could to seek for real challenge ppl got to Level 80 and realised that this is the cap sooo where did anet not intend us to go there? the agony on scale 50-79 you could survive (before the patch with softcap at lvl 40 ) with cooridnating a Team really nice if you had a necro with deathshroud an ele with rezsignet and heal and guards with elite tome on top of that you used perfect Timing and a fullset of healing power. Sooo absolutly nothing used here besides skills to Keep 1 of the Group alive.. you can’t blame on any exploit or anything… so stop infracting ppl with saying we weren’t intended to go there you have no proof. and I know for a fact that it was possible without rez orbs or 99% rez or rock things.. So we were intended to go there! otherwise they would just have told us when I asked them if 80 is the cap 11 months ago:)

I am sorry, I didn’t mean to flag you as an exploiter. I just think that developers never cared about those who went 50+ because from that point, Jade Maw’s agony always wipe you, even if you have higher AR. And now they reworked it so level 50 is maximum – that’s all I was pointing out to. BTW. there is no need for level 80 now – Anet stated that you will be able to choose fractal weapon skins as an final reward on high level fractal runs.

You still don’t understand that old 30+ levels were thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much easier that new 30+ levels? That’s the only reason why they deleted the last 20 levels. and 51+ were not supposed to be obtainable so Anet doesn’t care about those.

in year, there will be a new expansion

Erebus, sorry, but you sound like crying child not an adult person. It seems that you just created an excuse for yourself why you haven’t been to fractals, yet. It’s fun, skill based and rewarding. If there were some glitches in it, you never got ban for it. Anet would have to ban thousands of players. They instead fixed the issues. There were only 2 fractals which were being exploited – dredge fractal (ridiculously long and on higher levels its first room is almost undoable for regular LFG group) second was fractal with Collossus where you could fight final boss easily. These two maps got many fixes – dredge cannot be exploited anymore and Collossus is almost fixed too.
So, please, try them

They made fractals more for noobs. But after level 30 they will still be hard and with new challenges. So noobs will at level 19-29 and us others will be leveling again, and now with harder content. So there IS a reason why they deleveled us to 30. Now it will be considerably harder to get to 50 and those who exploited into 80 will be fixed.
EDIT: what I don’t like is that they put fractal weapons into level 10. That will kind of erase my happiness from Fractal Shield I dropped at 40+ level.

GoldenTruth.2853:

If you have an infused backpiece it will have 2 infusion slots. One of those infusion slots will have a +5 infusion, the other will be whatever was in the backpiece originally. If you have a normal non-infused backpiece it will have 1 infusion slot.

oh, so you still need to spend 250 ecto for another slot? I don’t see why they changed this… probably to get rid of brackets from item names

I did not realize this… That kind of.. sucks.

I am totally confused about rework of AR in ascended items. I hope they will not take away my 45 AR for which I have spent considerable time to obtain!!!!!

Update on my progress:
still have gift of fortune
still have gift of mastery
still have gift of twilight
still waiting for precursor building, as I won’t be part of community who throw away their gold for lottery or farm incredible amount of gold until their eyes bleed out

I always roll eyes on those who don’t know mechanics of rally and confusion.
Few hours ago, I had to explain to 5 players that if they want to progress further they need to complete the event. It’s really hard to play on european servers where 80% of playerbase don’t understand English, or don’t read UI at all

Send me your Dawn, I will send you Dusk. I promise.

I ignored Ascended Weapons, so NO!
Stop the elitism, vertical progression and the need for farming and using TP!

Guys who kill Tequatl,
where are you playing? I would like to join you, I am from EU region.
I know the tactics, but my guild doesn’t do it and my server Gandara either.
I miss the only achiev – Flawless Defense …. it’s annoying that it is the last thing I need for the title

I remember when my friend wanted to buy The Crossing for 130g because it was the only staff in game he liked but it seemed too expensive for him. I don’t want to see his reaction to this. …just ridiculous. Anet, why do you want your players to die from farming gold just to look pretty? I wear the same armor set and weapons for more that 6 months now. Do you consider it Okay that we have nothing nice and cheap available in game? There is literally one armor set for sylvari male which looks good on him – cultural T2.
