Guild Wars 2

There ain’t a frontline weapon that can take put my Staff to rest. Unelss I get the option to wield Sword + Staff like Gandalf. Then I’m all for it!

ZudetGambeous.9573:

That’s your prerogative, but when mats are 100x more expensive then you can afford, and groups won’t let you play with them because you have no idea what you are doing, don’t come complaining on the forums. We did the research and put in the time to buy what we needed beforehand and learn the encounters for smooth runs, so it’s not our fault you are left behind.

Your best bet is to learn all you can about the open world content and don’t look at anything story related, that way you get to see the story at release but you aren’t stuck having no idea what to do or where to go.

I don’t see how anyone can be left behind in a game. There are always new players incoming and there will always be people who are “left behind”. To tell you the truth, I preferred much more Arah runs withing 6 months of the release when everyone was working together then these so-called Speed Clears. We all enjoyed the thrill of completing Arah (not to mention getting the Dungeon title). THAT type of experience I’m aiming for again in HoT!

And trust me, I won’t be “left behind”. In fact I will probably stay longer playing the game since I took the time to read though the story line, talk to NPC to see what’s the fuss about, and I won’t be easily bored as someone who rushed through the content thinking the end-game will provide them huge advantage over other players. This is not THAT type of game. So your statement is faulty, as mildly I could’ve put it.

I am also boycotting… I don’t know how I’m gonna survive all those specialization revelations and stuff… it will just spoil all the surprise. I didn’t even watch the PAX, Rezz Streams because I didn’t want to see more. All these spoilers ruins my element of surprise because then I already know what to do where to go which is wrong. I’m waiting for my Closed/Open Beta invite to experience it on my own. Winks at ANet

Bluefox.9580:

You can, I do it all the time to targets that have reflection up, Jade Maw in particular. You can also manually aim fireballs with your camera.

I’m sad that I’m maining Ele 2.5 years and I just figured this out….

Bluefox.9580:

Indeed it is. I frequently toss fireball without a target into the ground with my lava font to ensure I hit a pile of mobs consistently, among other reasons.

This makes me thing that we don’t even need to select a target. just cast LavaFont at range and spam Fireballs at your feel for melee damage

Looking at the skill description when you have Blasting staff it says both have radius of 180.

While 180 radius seems big for Lava Font I had no idea (not even visual) that Fireball had the same area of impact.

Is the skill description true?

SonOfJacob.7396:

I thought it would be cool if instead of dropping ascended rings, they dropped ascended TICKETS/TOKENS. That way, you can choose what you want, if you want to use them, and the tokens would STACK. Hell, even make it another type of currency in the wallet. Include accessories and amulets from the vendor. Elegant, permanent solution.

But doesn’t Pristine do just that?

FenixFire.1673:

Yeah, I have a TON of rings as well. Unsellable and salvageable. What would be GOOD is if we could pop four of them in the MF and get a Asc Ring Chest. When we open the chest, we get to choose the stats we get. 4 infused ones would get a Fused Asc Ring Chest, etc.
.. or something.

Well I wouldn’t mind trading in 4 at MF for 1 with selectable stats or something. Or even turn them in for Pristine or Relic.

I would really like to know if anything is going to be done with the hoards of Ascended Rings and other unnecessary Ascended Jewelry that are stockpiling on our characters?

Make it salvagable, MF-able or something 3rd we don’t care just don’t let us have to delete our efforts done in FoTM.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

It will probably be like the engineer kits. The backpiece from a kit replaces whatever backpiece you are wearing and I would expect the glider to do the same.

This might be it, although it would be nice if we got a clarification.

Did anyone find a screenshot or played a Demo with a character that had a backpiece.

How did the glidder behave? Did it remove the backpiece or did it collide over it?

Looking at these new Wings which are huge made me think about these small details.

DarkOcean.8746:

Geforce Experience is having difficulties locating the settings or such for Guild Wars 2. I can’t optimize it and I can’t add the DSR settings to it (other games are being optimized and have the DSR option). Anyone know what may be going on with that?

Do that directly from NVIdia Control Panel.

Manage 3D settings —> Global Settings —> DSR – Factors (I tried 4x) —> adjust the DSR smoothness.

If you read the last paragraphs of the article there it explains.

I don’t think this is true. I think the product is close to being ready. I’d say May should be like the furthest date considering Beta is right after PAX East.

cool! (bookmarking this to find easier)

Aba.6419:

and …
4. Cleric
New weapon set: Mace+Shield
More healing spells (also outside water) and more tanky spells but less dps.

Yeah I think Cleric can work. It kinda works right now but there isn’t a devoted speciality. But I wouldn’t want this to be our first speciality.

Arrk.4102:

Nabuko Darayon.9645:

So guys lets all throw some wild speculations for our eles. Here is my bunch:

1. The Warder
Gains access to new weapon set, Sword and Shield. New set of 6-0 skill that include GW1-style Wards, ward traits that include lower recharge.
While Specilized it removes Conjures from the skill rotation.

This would make my day!

Right? Me too XD

I say you’re set for the legendary crafting. now just wait for hot scavanger hunt and you’ll be good. congrats

So I know Colin said that it won’t happen because people would break out of the map… but don’t people already do that?

Anyways on a more serious note, the breaking can be fixed very easily. Just like underwater has it’s currents so does the sky and it’s winds. Just like we can’t break though underwater maps (mesmer’s this doesn’t include you) we shouldn’t be able to break though air maps.

I don’t really see an issue here. The system is already in the game.

Aba.6419:

1 . Four Elements Monk
Brand new weapon set: knuckle-dusters (melee)
Passive skill: evasion
High dps with nice CC and maybe teleportation.

2. Battle Mage v2
Brand new weapon set: Main: Sword + Scepter (new skills for off-hand scepter)

3. Pure Wizard
New main-hand weapon: Spellbook (new skills only for main-hand)
Off-hand: Focus

Ah the Pure Wizard maaan! Imagine having a Spellbook like Guardian’s Tomes all the time! The dream!

So guys lets all throw some wild speculations for our eles. Here is my bunch:

1. The Warder
Gains access to new weapon set, Sword and Shield. New set of 6-0 skill that include GW1-style Wards, ward traits that include lower recharge.
While Specilized it removes Conjures from the skill rotation.

2. Battle Mage
Specializing in this locks you out of 2 other Attunements, but allows you to swamp weapons. Grants CC skills (like pull,push) on your skills. Traits include, increased Armor on Light armor to correspond to Heavies. Locks out Cantrips from the rotation.

Linken.6345:

Or you could buy licenses and craft up the other 6 on your main if its such a burden mate.

Got 2 on each char myself but aint a hassle to switch around imo

Edit
Maybe they could sell unlock licenses that open up your crafts you already made to make it easier for people that want it.
And also better for people who dont.

The issue I got here is the policy to find 50g+ worth recipes (which will probably be released even more as the time goes) and it gets harder and harder to find them. Remember having 1 Recipe to create Torment sigil on 1 of the 3 disciplines? And now add so many other unique recipes on different characters, it gets messy really quickly.

I would find this very convenient especially since they’ve decided to add Crafting Licenses.

How many times have you used a recipe on your non-max crafter discipline? or
How many times did it take you to find that Sigil recipe you used and forgot on which character you had used it? or
How many times did you have to switch characters to make that 1 weapon that required different parts? etc… the list goes on.

For me, why i started thinking about this is basically because I have 4 characters with 2 maxed out Crafting Disciplines that I’ve started back in the 2012. Long before those Crafting Licenses arrived.

I hope specialties bring something new and not just a new skill set locking your other skill sets from being used. Because I really hated that part with Eles being locked down on 1 weapon choice.

LOL I can’t stop laughing at this hahahahah. No comment really. Let the thread rot into oblivion.

Happy New Year!

Farzo.8410:

There is a lot ArenaNet does right, no doubt about it- and there is a lot they do wrong.

But yeah, the aspect of everyone being nice to each other is something they have a good watch over.

It is completely true. The more tries you make the more mistakes happen. I prefer that they try to give out a unique experience then do nothing.

Even with the latest two maps. They’re a great improvement, something I think Orr is missing. (since Orr was a place of the most influence from Zhaitan)

munkiman.3068:

I usually don’t touch mount threads since they end up in toxic irrational arguments. But, the only discussion about mounts is acquisition/variety and whether or not they give a boost in movement speed. We already have mounts in the game and i’d expect they will continue to add them in the future. I also really feel like they’ve done it in a very interesting, Arena type way, with the broom and carpet.

The carpet is terrible. You can’t even AFk because within 5 minutes of inactivity it gets dropped. Plus not to mention that each of these mounts require 2 clicks. One to Use them, and 2nd to wield them. I hate the skill thing about them.

Maybe the reason why ANet hasn’t added mounts is because they haven’t hatched yet?

Because true exotics lie in Cantha.

Ahhh I wish I was on EU for the main event. Have fun Auroras

As if we had any other forums that are as active…

Penguins NEW race INCOMING!

Hey guys,
I’d like to point out that I like this additional crafting licenses, but I trust it needs an option to transfer 1x Crafting Profession from other character. This is for those who already have maxed out all 8 Disciplines across 8 characters.

We would still buy the License but with the option to add our disciplines we worked on.

Except for Legendary Ascalon title you didn’t have Tomes and Exp Scrolls to quickly get you to 80. Still, congratz

Because what armors would they release when cantha and Elona comes out?

Taygus.4571:

999 shots, is alot of shots.

How often do you look through them all? o0

On the chronological order, you can click a tab “date” in the folder, that will show the images by date, most recent or most oldest first. No need to worry about what number they’re listed as.

Ohh yea I’ll have to check that out. But on another side once you move the imagines it resets the number on the picture from 1-999 again.

As for how often I look to them, I do this quite often, maybe once in a month/two months. It takes me back to the release euphoria really quick

I’m down to my 5th Folder with 999 screenshots.

I’m the kind of person who likes to screenshot my adventures in a chronological order and this 999 limit is bugging me a lot. More important, once you delete duplicates new screenshots get the number of the deleted so it really messes up the order.

Please increase the limit for taking screenshots.

Named exotics are always lvl 80. Gratz.

I agree completely with Deniara’s post. I don’t think Exhaustion is the right solution.

I’d say give a Siege Troll debuff when a Commander + 10? more players report the person for WvW Trolling.
First timers, 1 day debuff not allowing them to enter WvW and EoTM.
2nd timers, a week. 3rd timers, a month.

This system could be abused by random commanders so I suggest being able to unlock this option at a specific Wxp or Achievement where hardcore WvW Commanders would be able to unlock this, but not a casual/regular player. Also the option to report would be only seen by squad members. Basically acting like a party kick setup, only in squad setup.

So a Commander reports the person for WvW Trolling, then everyone in his squad get the option to kick him out of WvW, like party setup. I’m having full confident in hardcore WvW Commanders not to abuse this and kick people they don’t like, or random newbies so their guildies can join in which is also an issue in heated battles.

sMihaly.1492:

Would be an instant buy… but… brown doesn’t fit with the guild emblem.

It is an instant buy, but yeah I feel like dyeable parts are what should’ve happened with this item.

Switch to Guardians. You’ll be much less stressed.

Wasbunny.6531:

Wow thanks for this, I was under the impression not being able to get Felicia was dictating Zojja’s usage in the future. This is good news.

So that means the OP is imagining things? I really liked Felicia Day’s voice acting with Zojja too and would be disappointed if they changed the voice.

Uh uh I really do think I’ve imagined it. Just checked this video from 2012 and it sounds the same http://youtu.be/caz8_SqghmY

Let the topic get lost in oblivion!

Guild Wars 2 Lead Writer

Good morning! Allow me to clarify a few things:

Felicia Day is still a cast member of Guild Wars 2. We have no plans to recast Zojja with another actor.
It’s entirely possible that Zojja could show up in a future release. It all depends on what story we’re currently telling and which characters have an active role in it.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/audio/No-more-Felicia-Day-I-m-OK-with-a-new-VA/first#post4335642

I am quite familiar with this statement but the personal story at lvl 10 seems off. Check it out

I don’t know about Chinese but my money is fueling them enough on a monthly basis

Guhracie.3419:

I will be so sad if she’s not Felicia Day anymore. I can’t imagine they’d change that.

I don’t want to start more drama here, they’ve had enough. Just wanna see what others think?

TBH I’m OK with the change if this means bringing back Zojja to the Living Story.

So I was doing the asuran personal story with this new system which is quite interesting to begin with, but that’s not the point.

As someone who has 3 asuras I’m very familiar with Zojja’s voice, but now doing the lvl 10 PS she just sounds more soften and not the usual self.

Anyone else noticed this?

Exeon.4358:

I had an Aegis stuck threw my body today, i felt very safe with that lol :P

We should have an option to turn off buff auras i guess

Nah I think they should just place it in a different position or make it small or something. Rarely any shields work.

AegisRunestone.8672:

I am ruining shields?? I feel so sad now.

;p

Down with Aegis! Freedom for all the SHIELDS! ‘calls SHIELD Agents to regulate this issue’

I can’t believe they still haven’t fixed this. Place the icon of Aegis somewhere else but seriously it’s ruining my esthetics. -.-

FrostSpectre.4198:

Well, it could work for the HUD issue too, sinc e HUD elements block target circles and place them under player character’s feet, which is impractical.

It would fix many issues, and I don’t see too harmfull effects.
