Guild Wars 2

Good job ANet I’m glad you fixed this. I would’ve also hated to lose 2 months of progression especially since it’s been less then that that I got Bifrost.

^First, if they nerf D/D they’ll buff something else. They already made adjustment to RtL so I doubt it will get any attention. Only way to reduce d/d’s is to buff other weapons.

D/D is more of a single-target kill and even in WvW it’s effectiveness isn’t that great compared to Staff’s AoE.

I can see how people are frustrating when Ele escapes from their hands, I feel the same when I go after Thieves and Mesmers. Do I go there and QQ how their mobility is OP? No.
Instead of just QQing find a way to counter their builds.

S/D has a nice way of dealing damage but not in the build u posted.

Like I said, this is where you know difference between pros and amateurs. No ele will tell you the secrets of killing them, you gotta learn it yourself. Just like I had to learn how to kill thieves and mesmers

Saying they’re unkillable usually means that you’re full berzerk and used to getting things killed in 2 blows and when presented with a challenge you go and QQ on boards how some professions are impossible to kill

Same is happening here. Some of the Guild Trek marks are missing from the location

I think something scared my ghost here

So my character is stuck there and can’t login at all. Something is bloking Metrica Province from loading (probably from this morning’s patch)… I login on another character try to get back here and I get rata Sum loading screen and just when my hopes go up it changes back to Metrica Province and I get stuck on the loading screen.

The joy we had was 100x more intense then what we had when we defeated Zhaitan

After spending quite some time in this path we were finally able to complete the dungeon. Our tactics were “try and see” and after 1 reset we finally knocked down poor Dwayna within 30 minutes.
Thanks to my guildm8s from Excessum Community [Exss] and a guest from the Legendary Guardians of Tyria [Gwen]: D Sebastian, Eert Elap, Trueiron, Iluvia (me as a mes) and Astrid (with a shif+6i name, later copy-pasted to Î Astrid Î)
Also to note that no mumble was required we did all our strategy plans prior to battle. Wish you all the best!

Well 250 years of evolution and the fact that Zaithan was so powerfull to submerge Kaineng City and it’s districts made Kurzick and Luxons isolate and in time they starter adapting to the new enviroment. And since it’s a fantasy world their evolution is quite faster then in real world. Or… their “evolution” was just a simple gene mutation after some horrible things that the Emperor did to his nation after they started rebelling against him. Most Canthans fled the country just in time not to get swallowed by the massive waves Zhaitan sent their way, but not the Emperor and his subjects.
As for Tengu, some decided to check out what happened to their homeland and once the rumours spread that the Emperor is gone they started returning home.

So if ANet needs an idea how to make Cantha playable but still with a new twist why not create a large expansion (after we’ve discovered all the zones in Tyria so let’s say in two years) where we’d have humans OFC but introduced with new playable races. There have been many rumours that Tengu might be playable. Why not make them playable in Cantha content?
It’s the perfect fitting for them IMO. Instead of having a continent revolve around Canthans, lets have a continent revolve around Tengu (Shing Jea Island), Kurzick (a humanoid elves or some sort of tree folk – which would be different then Sylvari and they would live on the trees of Echovald Forest having this heavy connected roads from tree to tree) and Luxons (a marine type of folks who live in the underwater city of Cavalon). And Kaineng City would be just a submerged ruins similar to LA’s ruins in GW1.
This way we’d still see our beloved Cantha in a new enviroment (after all Tyria is still new in GW2 then what it was in GW1) but we’d avoid all the drama that it caused on the forums.

This would probably take a while to build but could be done IMO and would probably be done faster then GW2 content was because they already have the models and thye know now what works and what doesn’t.
Also the two years is a minimum because Tyria still has a lot of unexplored content that will be added later on, but wouldn’t be bad if they placed a team to make at elast foundations for the expansion.

EDIT: Sorry for grammar mistakes and typos.

:o I accidentally came across this topic and I just couldn’t believe what OP said. Now with an official response it really saddens me.
Factions and Cantha was my initial entry room into GuildWars game and I will always be connected to this piece of heavenly artwork. The starter area of Cantha, Shing Jea Island was the most beautiful place I’ve seen in the whole GW1 franchise… I have no idea why would anyone skip a money maker like Factions. Apparently if that’s what they all care about it definitely should be in the GW2 story.
If it was up to ANet I’d asume we would be making arguments how beautiful lore it had, and the scenery was just amazing. Not to mention that everyone’s waiting to swim in the ex-Jaded Sea and jump around in Echovald Forest. Not to mention that everyone’s intrigued what happened with Luxon and Kurzick

In my opinion, Factions were the reason people payed attention to GW in the first place. From marketing angle I really don’t see why wouldn’t you bring back a successful pat of GuildWars history… I raise a question, are they on drugs???

As a European citizen I had most fun playing factions because in a way it showed me a culture that I did not know a lot about and trust me that every European thinks the same way…

It really saddens me that ANet doesn’t have a say in all of this. I mean you guys can’t let someone ruin the game… someone’s philosophy that you escaped when you created ArenaNet. I mean ANet you guys have so much support and love from us, please return the trust we put in you… and let’s together all make a GW2 a decade lasting game… because if things like this start to happen people will start dropping you out of disappointment.

You made the Tyrian history and should stick with it. I still love you guys very much and appreciate the work you put but this really put me back…

I think it’s because of the lightning in that particular area. Try doing CoF and you’ll see your Celestial, not show up as white at all

Mungrul.9358:

I think one of the problems is that we, as Sylvari players, like seeing the glowy bits in our hair. They’re a major feature of the character design, and as ArenaNet seem to have a problem displaying a character’s hair and a helmet at the same time, we resent the headpieces because they take away that sense of personalisation we got when creating the character.

This might be true but I hardly ever see a skin glow with full armor. We can’t just run naked and kill animals… they’ll just pee on us.
And the hair glow just doesn’t add it enough to keeping the headgear ON. I must admit that Heavy T3 and Medium T3 are done way better then the Light one which saddens me because I just love my fire-breathing plant and can’t find the right Cultural armor for it.

Linguistically Inept.6583:

agreed, i hate all the cultural LA headpieces, and the TA one is… ‘meh’, would love to see a leafy hood for t3 cultural

Yeah I just checked TA Light again, it’s as terrible as other Syvlari Light armor…
I was also thinking about some leafy hoods something like the Syvlari Cook’s town-clothing headgear. Even taken from other Sylvari professions

Golgathoth.3967:

Honestly, I don’t much like any of the light male cultural armors. The female versions are all sleek and elegant looking, like they’re made of flower petals or some kind of succulent, but the male stuff is all jagged and harsh looking for no reason. That’s why I decided to get the TA set instead. Speaking of the TA set, is anyone else annoyed that other races can dye the whole thing however they like?

I must admit TA armor is a punch down for true Sylvari because everyone can be leafy now, and even look better then Sylvari specific armor :‘(
I found T3 to be ok, not great looking like some Asura T3 or Human T3 but ok… Even though it’s sad that T3=TA in same graphic quality. Only T3 armor I love is Medium. I wish I could use it on my Elementalist.

I really have a hard time dyeing my T3 Light Sylvari male armor because I can never get it right. I dunno what’s wrong there. I do good while dyeing every other character (and I have 8 characters) but my main somehow has to settle with Black/White combo with T3.
Even my female Sylvari with TA armor can be mixed with so many dye combos and she looks good in all of them, but not with T3

Happy New Year from Canthan Refugees. Best wishes in 2013.

I dunno I just think that eyebrow is not worth 20G, I’d be fine with it as a cheap variant, but for 20G it should be something better.

t3 light is just terrible… I get an eyebrow as a headgear

I was mainly thinking about Light armor

Is there a way ANet might redo them? I mean T2 is only worth mentioning, others look like a piece of an eyebrow or something. Can’t we get better looking ones?

EDIT: Was referring to Light Armor.

Merry Christmas fellow games and a Happy New Year.

Looking forward hearing from you

Another 5 members have joined our lovely guild. Feel free to PM in-game: Master Nabuko

I’m glad to welcome 6 new members to our humble guild. We’re growing up ^^

Dear ANet Team,
can you please fix bugs that are happening in the Desolation server regarding the chain quests regarding the Temple of Balthazar.
It’s been over a month since the Temple is Contested (since October) and somehow one of the Pact reinforcements (or both) bug somewhere to the Temple and we only get Central invasion which fails of course because we don’t have enough Pact members to beat the Balthazar in time.
I beg you ANet please fix it or add another way of doing that chain quest or even add a constant Karma vendor even when it’s Contested so that the bugging won’t affect us who need those Obsidian Shards.
Please don’t make me have to move to another server. I like it here ^^

Bump. We’re eager to hear from you.

Welcome to our refugee camp!

Quick info about how the guild was created:
Despite being a part of few guilds from the release of Guild Wars 2 I never had the luck to be in an everlasting guild free of drama. After last meltdown in my ex-guild, I decided to take things in my hand and create a guild that would suit my vision of what guild should be about.
When creating a name, I decided to add a piece of my love for Cantha into it. Cantha is a big continent in Tyria that hosted the Guilds Wars Factions. My definition of a guild is a friendly place where you can gather up, chit-chat about whatever you want and escape your reality. The truth is everyone has or had some problems in the real world and we all played games to get away from it. That’s how I came up with the 2nd part of the guild’s name. A guild should be a refugee place for all of us.
On another side, Cantha will eventually come back to life in Guild Wars 2 and what other way to celebrate it’s release then bringing us back home.

About the guild:

What Arah Exp needs is to STOP BUGGING! I hate spending so much time just to find out the Gate won’t open and you made it to the last boss.
Same goes for Personal Storylines!

STOP THE BUGS so the time is worth it!

Yeah I noticed that, it just looks bad in the Guild Panel

I feel that the guild customization is a bit plain right now… My biggest problem is the Emblem customization.
Firstly, there are so few color choices. My biggest problem.
Second, when you press G to show your guild panel, the emblem icon looks so bad because it has that black background that’s unchangeable.
Third, the background symbols do now work with most of the icons in front of it.
Forth, we need more icons/emblems to choose from.
Fifth, more customization on the icons/emblems regarding colors (2 color options are not enough)
Sixth, more customization on the background. Again the constant black color is annoying. And to just be able to change the background shape/symbol and it’s color doesn’t feel right.

I’d have no problem if this extra stuff is added as Upgrades to the guild as long as we somehow get them.
And to allow us to resize icons and background shapes/symbols to adjust them properly.
I hope you read this A-Team, continue doing the great work.

I really feel this should’ve been already there but it wasn’t.

The big decision for me is what kind of armor insignia and jewelry to wear with a Support build.
I got the right healing runes on but what I’m in dilemma is if I should go all the way Support with one of these:
1. prec-vit-healing armor and (berzerk/knight/cleric’s jewels?)
2.full berzerker armor with full berzerker jewels
3.berzerk armor & cleric’s jewels
4.full knight armor+jewels

Any other opinion is welcome

Yup yup! You know we want them… Oppa gangnam style!! xD

Yes, yes yes! We’re getting desperate here. Similar ones that we had in GW1

His story is really touching! Basically, Fen is a giant who’s friends and family got killed in an attack inside kittenattler Caverns in Harathi Hinterlands. He was late to get there so he lives with the guilt. You had to gather some mushrooms to shrink him so he can visit the graves for his wife, son and friends inside the Caverns.
What happened there? Who attacked and who’s that incompetent doctor who couldn’t save her (no grave for him)?
