Guild Wars 2

I have nothing to add to this

but LOL@those chats

Normal nodes are different for each map shard. Use /ip to check if u’re on different ones.

Rich nodes in low level maps are fixed. Use this as guide
https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1xffs0/permanent_rich_ore_locations_30_final_version/

for nodes in the 3 orr maps use this site: http://gw2nodes.com/
it depends on community contribution so keep that in mind.

you gave it to an alt? you’re sure?
I dont think that’s possible. The revenant’s bank is a duplicate and seperated bank from other characters.

the thing, you can have an unlimited amount of free exos to throw into the forge by deleting and remaking Beta character.

With that amount of exos, it’s not surprising you can hear of many people getting pre (not including loot ones)

if you drag the ground targeting to the minimap, it will cast right on your character.

if you didnt know yet.

log in here and enter your key
https://register.arena.net/

after that, in Game Content page https://register.arena.net/content
it should only show HoT

So….Thaddeus, trinkets are cheaper than traits? Clap clap.

Clap clap for not reading. Keyword: Runes.

@OP: if you die 20 times in AC, you should reconsider your playing style. It’s not even gears or traits at that point. Since most PvE are easier now (fractal 49 can be done in 30m easily now). I cant think of why a mix zerk, celestial and Strenght runes would be bad. Seem pretty meta.

why would I abadon my current account with all the items and works done over the past 2+ years to create new one?

my first screenshoot. I’m sure of it because I was asking how to screenshoot :P
it was like 4 months after launch. and it’s cool

I’m happy I pre-purchased. Dont see how it would change my mind.

A new LA, cool new jp, karka scavenger hunt, some nice QoL changes, my Fractal runs are better etc.etc.

My perception of the direction the game is taking is that it’s still going great as usual.

Brilliant. I’m also a little concerned about the closest lion statue. It seems to be glancing very nervously at something just of frame right. It worries me.

no worry. nothing dangerous :P

Go to Account (you need to create an account there which is pretty easy). And make an API key with all options. Then you can view your bank, inventory on each character, TP transaction….

the website also has some very cool tools

yeah. I agree the locations are too far away compared to the Destroyed LA

but here is a protip: south of the mystic forge and just bit north of jellyfish dome there are a general merchant for salvage kits and an anvil for repairing. The anvil doesnt have an icon on map so not may people know of it.

^ what Donari said.

Merits will go poof.
Currently the only thing that merit is good for is to unlock guild missions.
There’s not much thing to use it for. You cant make consumables with it. The other buffs that use merit like lower waypoint cost, more wvw exp are totally not worth wasting 1 build slot for them.

As a guild leader, I simply ignore merit.

Did you know that after you get the item from the achivement, it opens up a new option:
5000 ectos + 2000g to buy?

one of my guildie already got it.

also, the item acts as a permanent personal merchant (500g value) that let you sell stuffs wherever you are. So there’s that.

“we’ll be retiring merits once Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns goes live.”

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/rethinking-guilds/

I’m looking for a place that has most of these: waypoint, bank, mystic forge, trading post, merchant (for salvage kits), repair anvil and crafting stations.

Currently all of them are so far away. Especially the repair anvil.

It is inconvenient and the only thing that bugs me compared to the destroyed LA.

from patch note
“Added a Mystic Forge recipe to change the stats on ascended weapons and armor. "

I think the reason they dont have a recipe for trinkets is because they dont have any material for trinkets like insignia for weapons or inscription for armors.

Also, some trinkets have really weird stats. Look at those fractal ones.

I’m going to get it. Best value in 3 packs

Thanks Dulfy.

kitten , that is really impressive.

“Lots of caves, one of the cave is a tribute to the largest cave in the world with its own ecosystem (Hang Son Doong)”. that’s so cool

imo, Shimmering weapons look better.

“You can add decorations on the fly to mess with people.” That seems pretty fun lol

“Charr Motorcycle another tool that is a player transformation that acts like a mobile siege weapon.” Awesome.

I’m so hyped for Guild Hall.

from what I understand from the articles:

People without HoT won’t be able to get personal guild buffs like MF, access any feature that is inside Guild Hall.
They will be able to get other guild-wide buffs like reduced WP cost (if the guild has it unlocked), do normal guild missions like usual and earn guild commendations.

The new currencies are for guild, not personal. People can help getting them, but they won’t have and use them by themselves.

Yep. I’m gonna buy the Ultimate Edition soon.

InfinitytheSoulWarden.5963:

its one map, guild halls, and a few new mechanics…. its not huge

one map? sureeeee. keep believing it. Good for you that you have already played HoT ahead of us.

and +1 to OP.

I’m quite annoyed that these $50 threads overshadowed the current spot light of this week: Guild Hall.

We’re breaking apart influence and assigning its functions to three new currencies: favor, aetherium, and resonance.
-Favor incentivizes guilds to gather and complete missions on a weekly basis. You’ll learn more about the changes coming to guild missions in our next post.
-Aetherium replaces the pacing elements of the current queue system and establishes a baseline rate at which our largest guilds can progress that cannot be circumvented by spending gold. (From the sound of it, this one will help small guilds to not fall too far behind of big guilds)
-Resonance serves the sole purpose of speeding up the assembling of guild items and removes the need to balance other currencies around that. Meanwhile, resonating shards reward small group play with fellow guild members. Keep an eye out for more info on resonance and resonating shards when we talk about our new guild-specific crafting profession, scribing, in a future post.

“guild boosts—upgrades that give a benefit to guild members for a limited period of time—felt invisible and unengaging to the average guild member. We’re replacing these with permanent unlocks.”

“WXP or magic find boosters, are being replaced by a new guild-effects slot…member can only have one effect active at a time, but they’re free to swap and effectively never expire.”

“we’ll be introducing cross-guild chat. From your main guild panel, you’ll be able to assign which guilds you can chat to with new channels, /g1 through /g5”

I’m so excited for Guild Hall!

Just want to pump this again to bring attention to the new Guild Hall articles in all this price issue.

Guild upgrades will be primarily grouped around the six main buildings, each of which is associated with elements of guild gameplay:
-First is the tavern, which is associated with socialization and effects. As a new proprietor, you’ll come here to rest until you’re ready to start constructing buildings. One of the upgrades you’ll be able to unlock through the tavern is the ability to choose an anthem for your guild. This will play for all to hear during moments of triumph, such as when you complete a guild mission or claim an objective in World vs. World.
-Second is the mine, which is the source of aetherium discussed above. All of the upgrades for this structure will relate to the generation and storage of aetherium.
-Third is the workshop, which is associated with crafting and gathering. Here, members of your guild can train in the new guild-specific crafting profession, scribing. We’ll discuss this more in a future post in this series.
-Fourth is the war room, which is associated with WvW. You’ll be able to unlock scribing recipes here for use in the updated guild claiming system.
-Fifth is the market, which is associated with finance and mercantilism. Through this building, you’ll be able to unlock a new tier of guild weapons and armor for your weaponsmith and armorer.
-Sixth is the arena, which is associated with personal combat and Player vs. Player. Once your arena is fully built, you’ll be able to use it as a combat sandbox and customize it with obstacles and traps.

I wonder how small solo guilds will be effected by this feature…

I’m wondering this too from the stand point of small guilds. We have tons of influence because there is nothing really for us to spend it on as we aren’t enough people to do the missions and quests. These halls look huge and geared towards massive size guilds.

Is there something usable for smaller guilds?

It would certainly be nice to be able to convert Influence into Merits, even at a loss.
You and I both know it’ll require a guild mission/quest with more members than most small guilds can field.

From the sounds of it, it will be easier for small guilds even.

-Guild merits going away completely and influence can no longer be earned after HoT but will stick around for guilds to sink their influence into the new system.
-New currency from Guild Missions called Favor but didn’t explain what it does.
-Changes to guild missions is to close the discrepancy between small and large guilds.
-Guild missions will no longer require consumables and can be run for free.

Feirlista Xv.1425:

Yes I think the guild hall stuff alone is well worth th $50 that was totally more than what I expected nice job Anet. Can’t wait to see more and get into this content.

yes. I feel the same
This is more than I expected.

And this guild hall alone solves many problems people are having: multiple guilds rep and chat, GvG, Arena, etc…

since there is no thread yet o_0

you can read more here
http://dulfy.net/2015/06/17/gw2-e3-guild-hall-livestream-notes/

Notable features:

-Combat Arena – Combat sandbox you can duel with each other or invite other guilds to duel. You can customize it, put traps/walls/turrets etc in real time even while players are fighting to change up the playing experience.

-Guild workshop – New guild crafting profession where you can make items for everyone in your guild.

-War Room allow you to build tools to help you in WvW. Can call airships to defend a castle in WvW for example. (Airship is restricted to Stonemist castle assault only and the Charr vehicles can be only used at specific locations in the new borderlands.)

-Update to guild claim in WvW, adding guild teams in PvP and ability to talk in multiple guilds without having to change guild they are currently repping.

-Guild progression system is timed gated so a small guild of 15 players can progress just as fast as a mega sized guild.

-Decorations: Players can place, move, and rotate these decorations (but can’t scale them).

-Guild merits going away completely and influence can no longer be earned after HoT but will stick around for guilds to sink their influence into the new system.

ps: I hope this wont get lost in the sea of $50 threads

“A game serial code for account creation or upgrade for the Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns expansion and the award-winning Guild Wars 2 core game.”

It is an upgrade if you already have an account. So no, you dont get a new account in this case.

It is also an upgrade. Think of the core game as a free bonus if you dont already have it.

keep checking LFG, I regularly see T4 or organized Dry Top map listing on it. At least during my play time (night EST)

you can also post a LFG listing: “lf T4+ Dry Top”. Someone may taxi you.

Do both of them.

ps: on LFG, Dry Top can be written as DT.

They never formally announced guild halls for GW2 though. They said they wanted to, and then when we got closer they said they wouldn’t be in the game at launch. They’ve said that they’ve wanted to do a lot of things. That’s not formally announcing it though, there is a difference.

They formally announced Guild Halls with the expansion announcement. But, we only know that Guild Halls are supposed to be included in HoT. No word since then.

Exactly. Nothing since then.
I don’t understand that argument.!!!!???? I just mentioned it would be sad if they shelve it after announcing it. Cuz it would not be the first time they done so.

some ppl just luv to troll & argu for nothing. tsk tsk tsk…. sad.

well, LanfearLanfearShadowflame meant that they never formally announced Guild Halls for the main GW2 3 years ago “They never formally announced guild halls for GW2 though”. Only said they wanted.
But this time for HOT they did formally announce it. And that is the difference.

You guys didnt get what he said.

i know right

we used to do Trillia and Poobadoo.

But recently we changed it up. We would tell everyone to pick a number from 1 to 6 and choose the number that has most votes. And that would be the bounty we pick.
We got karka the other week. Took longer than usual bounty to find but we made it.

It is fun doing it this way.

go into Edge of the Mist blue side and you can play as a Kodan :P

Yes, by account bounding Eternity, you unlock all 5 skins (eternity, Twilight, Sunrise and 2 pres).

This is anet’s way to combat void jumping. If you relog with same character in short time (example, to try to get another megaserver instance), you will be either put at the start of map, or in the middle of LA (near the old mystic forge).

RedBaron.6058:

Hello all,

It seems we will be able to pre-order HoT in 9 days..:)

Even when the date is false. Are you in the future? lol

more like Consortium is up to something shady. Since that ship belongs to them and they were responsible for the last karka invade :P

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/36jrf4/stow_aways_on_a_shipment_to_lions_arch/

there are 2 baby karkas inside this ship. More pictures in reddit. But there are other views to see them better.

They are gonna breed and invade the new LA

Recursionist.7062:

Rezzet.3614:

probably was the earth line multi attack the first attack isnt telegraphed

The earthquake in the middle that cripples you? THAT removes the achievement?

yeah. you need to dodge that too

you should have sold Twilight and Sunrise and use that money to buy an Eternity

You would have all 3 skins and more gold than selling Eternity.

Twilight and Sunrise are easier to sell than Eternity.

edit: oops. it’s a necro-ed thread

I made a warrior for wvw and a warrior for dungeons/pve

…..because I was too lazy to switch traits, armors, weapons… everytime

….dont judge me X_X

^ this quote though

no. the skill points will be still there. They will be converted into an wallet currency (not hero points) that can be used to buy exactly what you can buy right now (seige, forge materials….).
They did confuse us by saying “materials” but later they explained that part.

and based on what they said before, skillpoint scrolls will drop more in the game so you can still buy stuffs with them.

So you can hold on to those sp and convert them later. Will probably take less clicking than consuming the scrolls like right now.

“New currency to replace skill points that will be in the wallet. You get them from champ bags and other sources. This currency allow you to buy crafting mats that used to require skill points.”

yolo swaggins.2570:

1.) Because there is no indication to the kicked player as to who kicked them. Most of the time the player’s chats during the instance are removed only reinforcing the fact there is no indication to the who kicked and why.

doesn’t it show who kicks who now? it’s a system message so it doesnt get cleared when you are kicked. You can report by right click the name there.

It’s a scripted attack before he takes off at 75%.

After the 1st cannon, it becomes an AI attack. But usually zerg burns it so fast that it never gets a chance to use.

So your best chance is at 75% mark, watch the ground for aoe. Watch for a sudden number of red aoes and listen to the npc

caiomacos.1694:

Bran.7425:

It not like defeat should be an inconvenience or anything, right?

But the thing is this is an inconvenience that rarely affect actual gameplay. I mean, its really rare to see someone die so many times in a row (so that his equipments would start to break instead of being damaged) before he could reach or pass by an armor repair. Unlike, lets say, GW1 death penalty, which really had a major impact on the party perfomance.

it works in high level fractals where you can die a lot in a row if unlucky.

my SweetFX is working fine as usual.

I mean, how do you tell if they’re not joking? It’s April Fool
