Guild Wars 2

oh you make me laugh so hard!
Engi mostly has ranged weopons, so ofc it will need to throw the hammer!
and
hammer 3:
my little Engi will throw her little hammer bola-style and ofc it will return and will hit everybody in its path,
or even better:
hammer 4:
throws little hammer between enemys legs to make them drip :p
hammer 5:
punch little hammer in enemys belly to push them back

I brought 4 of my characters to lvl 80 with a mix of map completion, events on maps, gathering (good for crafting or good for selling the mats), doing dailys while exploring and a little crafting to keep them equipped on their respective level and reached lvl 80 at 35-40% completion.

I always thought one reaches lvl80 very quickly in this game.

One method is to get her down very quickly, so she can’t spawn too many tornados.
Spec for more dps and throw everything on her as you go in.
that worked for me at least.
If you take too long, you will not be able to escape the tornados with a mesmer and Mantra of Concentration does only help soso.

I do like the event, I do like to be a tiny Dolyak and run with other tiny Dolyaks.
The “cuddly” factor just really gets me with this

But of course the first time I did it, after completing my course I rushed down to go again (we should get the supply up, shouldn’t we!) and was a little irritated to not be able to…

there is a guild person in the north of the map, you can access the guild bank from him (north of where the old mystic forge used to be)

ah in this Wanze has the spot on.
It was(is) obtainable through badges and was(is) recommended (well not only) for beginners in wvw “don’t be a rallybot go and get some pvt stuff!”
So it is used there and the name came from there.
It was first(is)? named “Invaders” when I remember rightly.

I do find it more clear to name the stuff by the stats.
I mean Magi? Clerics? Knights? Cavalier? really?
gnah, neeed the table!

did they remove them? I got mine only from BLCHs

Ohoni.6057 does a pretty good analysis of what I was thinking without being able to put it in words.

I have not tried the Blizz yet, but I remember the Scarlet invasions, I did two of them successfully, after that they just “dipped” – nobody whatsoever cared for the event itself but to spawn Champs and I stopped doing them.

The missing mechanics to coordinate many people on a map well without 3rd party voicecom also affect GW2 in other areas of the game (WvW has asked for a long time for different grouping options or different tags) so one could actually see where the others are and distribute oneself accordingly once you have understood what the event in question needs at any time to succeed.

I do like very much that there are events created that cannot successfully be done with zerging only but please give better in game coordination options for them!

ie. ^ A display of the number of players attuned to each would be shown in the event tracker, along with life bars for the bosses.

Where they removed? Has anybody found some?

oh I love it too!
although it did make me soo mad and it took me ages to figure out even the first “level”.
so for me it would be an advantage if it was there longer.

:) sloths are soo cool creatures, they have Moths living on them and algae. So GW2 equivalent would be the treants?
I have only seen them to agree to carry heavy crates though.

to topic:
I am very happy, that this game has no mounts. (optically and operationally)

I do not feel we need overall speed-upgrades to move around maps.

Equip combat slot skill for running and reeqip other skill before having a heavy fight. (for just exploring you do not really need the slot to survive)

There are some classes that could do with an additional speed boost option ( y, I am looking at Mesmer also)

Overall you will be changing your stuff (Weapons, Equip, Skills, Traits) around all the time depending on what you do, it is very inherent in this game and you get alot more from your class(es) if you start doing it.

yes, I agree. the Beauty and Colours of the landscapes is something that actually made me do world completion more than once. And I will do it again I guess.
And i can even appreciate people stomping me in PvP because i can see the character models close up then

i tell you, it exsists solely that even Mesmers may have a little fun from time to time
It could have been a butterfly, you know!

hm, I will hijack this thread with a question to all of those laid back, maybe doing dungeon once in a livetime, because doing other stuff in game and never actually got to doing them, they are rather boring, but with a fun group one would actually do some sometimes…

If I put up a lfg with such requirements
1)dungeon noob
2)brain
3)able to communicate
4)humor

would you join?

oh this is good news, I was so hoping I could get some more Fortune scraps.
I am missing 12! for the skin I would like.
I think at the time I took a leave and missed some of it blblblblaa

→ I definitely recommend a personal guild bank for aspiring chefs.

this!

I started with a Chef and back then the subcomponents filled 2/3 of my bank account.

ah those times, there wasn’t hardly any other thing to store anyways no badges yet, no champ loot, no zerglootfests äh living story.
and rares where…well rare!

but of course, I always wondered, why there was no collection for the Chef, if every account has three extra collections for strange Minis I will never see nor want.

ohha brother in need!
I myself would really like the Stalwart Shoulders too, I miss them from the set.

They are one of the very few Medium Soulders, that are not skewed and look more than acceptable at the same time.

Oh Dear!
As I am rather new to tPvP I was totally wondering the whole time where personal stats of the last games could be seen and what this strange page should actually signify.

I thought I was too stupid to find it^^ because I couldn’t believe you have PvP without that…

hi,
*legendary → still have to do cruesome things like “explore the whole world”
yes.

*crafting ascended stuff, esp. weapons, for wvw → good idea, they are account bound, so you can only make em yourself.
goldsink though.

Ah and about the “vanishing objects”.
Your account has a storage for most gathered objects, where the stuff vanishes into, if you press “deposit all collectibles”

Yes, you will be able to access the collections via any crafting station (not the Master Crafter), regardless of your Profession, even without one.

There is a tab on the left, where you can switch from the (now still empty) Recepies to the Collection.

You can also find the “Bank”-Person (in all major Cities) and switch from your account bank to your collection. (again on the left tabs)

Did the required level for learning a profession drop?
I have not read any such thing.
So if it is still in place you will be able to read instructions/learn a profession from the MasterCrafters when your Character is LvL 10.

“10 man zerg”
ohh I do so love being in silverL.
almost no queues,
almost no lag,
and your fair share of 10 man zergs on all sides!
Since here I even get to solo camps again
it is more of a challenge than goldL cause you actually get to play instead of waiting for hours.

but you don’t know what you have, if you haven’t had the other.

I would not care about wings in particular, I do not find them very fitting, but agree to

1) more variety of back items
2) back items being dyeable to include them better in your style

As it is, once you have a new backitem they are so widespread, that they become an optical nuicance, cause at least 50% of population wears them.

oh yes please.
It would be such a comfort.
we just have to ask again (and again…)

1) Storage for Builds and quick click-setup

2) Armour/jewel bundles to change/arrange equip

tbh with honestly trying to learn my fifth class (and I don’t mean pve, but pvp or wvw) I am getting somewhat mindboggled about all the setups…what was I using on this, whats the build on that, what was I thinking last I tried this, which gear now, ect..

I have one aswell
What is you opinion of people moving down others, that clearly don’t react to the fight?
why oh why do they always get me when I write in chat or especially when I look at the map?

And if I go alone, I am taken down by teams. always. sigh. so much for “duel”. it mostly doesn’t happen.

Can the diversification please start at clothing?

we have three sets per “race” and armourclass and thats it.
ALL other stuff (from dropped loot to crafted armours) is “humanlike” in my eyes.

I really find it very hard to properly dress a sylvari, most of them just look like your next human until you zoom in and see the face.

Why are cultutal clothes so rare and unaccessible?

Or ask in HomeCities once everyday if somebody lets you in to mine.
I have even seen nice people advertising this for others.

Thank you Khisanth for the link, I had not seen that yet.

sigh. so true.
the time I stuck the runes in I relied on being able to transmute them somewhere else.
please can we have a “transport” or “destroy” option?

I very much agree with this.
Please take your time to read.
it is a splendid idea.

kinda funny how these topics keep reappearing.
thanks for reposting.
Still true.
poooor Yaks.

Dayra, yours is the best suggestion to season and season rewards I have read in a long long time.

Would you be so kind and post it in a new suggestion thread?
It should not be squeezed in here.

I am just afraid they would never do it, because then we would have some actual numbers how many people play WvW on any Server.

You could

1) take your time, check every week after reset, the colours do keep changing, even if it does not seem so now.
You will be blue eventually in some week to come and can just walk into your own Keeps.

2) start playing WvW for real, you will get there by conquest.
Gandarra is now the strongest in Silver League, you maybe own the blue Garrison at some point.
But usually the enemy does not like that and will retake it asap.

3) Keep checking the map regularly, until you see what you need in the right colour and go there asap. (If the queue allows you that)

yes and yes! (and another yes so that my message is not too short)

Did you all have the nice megaserver taste on last reset?

People were landing on different overflows of the same BL instead of the queue.
We were not even sure, if we all were from the same server-

Guild groups did not make it on to the same BL instance and nobody ever figured out, which BL was the one that tick was counted from…

Some even had a BL all to themselves.

Heavenly chaos. How could one organise something like that battlewise?

It would end like EOtM, no aim, no community, just anonymous zerging for leveling.

At least now one can (still) choose where to play.

Well there is a dolyak graveyard, now we know where the dolyak toilet is, too !
;)

I am on a multinational european server from start and there it was usual people asking questions in different languages in map chat and hoping for an answer, if they can not speak english.

There are/were guilds catering for different languages, advertising their guild in their language and doing activities in their respective language.
Spanish, French, Italian, German, Russian, Polish, Serbian I think and Hungarian, Dutch and maybe some other I am sorry I can not identify.

If you liked that atmosphere and the mix, you would pick a Server like that.

I do.

But I do have friends who migrated off to or started specifically on a national language server, because they felt more immersed there with the game and more comfortable with it.

So now I get confuddled, when we talk Gamestats or Maplocations and stuff and they use the national name an I use the english one [I find the translations quite uhm…weird] – and the other way round is the same.

I totally can understand that it makes people very uncomfortable, if they chose not to be in this situation.
and if people are uncomfortable they often react agressively or unfriendly.

not nice but true.

thank you OP for summing it up so neatly.
there are some (negative) points I made in other posts regarding this update.

but all you list ARE true improvements and I am enjoying the accound wide system a lot.
it is very important to state that.

this topic does seems not get so much attention as other changes, although I find it to be an important one and was really looking foreward to the rework pre patch.
so a little push here

oh! here is my right thread!
When I bought my temple armour and equipped it with usable runes (means some gold investment) I was under the impression “nothing can happen” I always can transmute my runes to another stat set …BUT…ups!

Please tell us what we can do here.

Somehow reading the news I did expect the wardrobe to be like this (and was soo looking forward to it):

You pay one Charge for each slot to put a skin on you like.
And it stays there! (until you want to put on another Skin)
No matter what stuff you swap for stats underneath.
Well, this was my neat Idea.

If I swap stats the appearance still changes with it, so what is the improvement there?
I still have to fuddle with each and every piece of equipp.

It just costs three times more now for Characters under lvl 80 and furthermore we lost the ability to move the runes to where we want them to be.

How do I get the runes from old set to new set when changing stats?
I cannot salvage, if it is a temple set with other runes?

And yes, the changes seem quite underwhelming overall. As above.

Because some of us don’t go to websites and blindly follow instructions designed to just gain levels from crafting.

I agree a lot, much, totally, ect…

Do NOT take discovery out of crafting, learning the Cook was the most enjoyous Profession of all.

I am more and more annoyed by recipes you cannot discover, but have to buy.
They lately proliferate like mushrooms, worst example being Celestial stuff.
But there are too many examples by now I am afraid.

This messes up the crafting system logic which was at gamestart quite an interesting one.

being a more casual gamer myself, playing alts too (omg:)): in WvW 1v1 is more about skill.
some are better and many are worse – you still win fights and loose fights.
If you get caught by too many you die anyways, Ascended or no.
So: do not worry, play your game and enjoy it the pace you want to go.
I have one char that has three Ascended trinkets and one that has two, the rest is still exotic or rare.
It works fine, really.

With every alt I start with rare at lvl 80 in WvW and each alt has to fund its own equippment, but they do get somewhere in time. And till then you learn how to play better

Cu on the battlefield!

honestly, I can not really understand this discussion.

What do you mean by alt-friendly?
What you can do is: play alts
If you play alts they will progress.
If you do not play alts, they will not progress…

What is the problem? If you did play an alt and it progressed to lvl 120 you enjoy the selected features, but it is not that you can’t play a new alt without them.
Works just fine.

You maybe do not want because it is more comfortable with the old alt, but…well if you make a new toon it starts lvl1 too and you will have to play with it to get some levels and skills.

How very unfriendly? I think not.
WXP system is not comparable with gold, it is comparable with character rank and nobody ever complained about that…or did they?

I have to admit I am biased, because I change toon as I feel like and I am proud owner of 4 alts between lvl 39 and 32. Hurray.

The only thing bugging me: to remember which one has some arrow cart and which one some mortar mastery.. or was it the other one…or….how was that again?
As you cannot see it at a glance, like your selected skills.

So actually my question is: why can I not select my WvWskills as I see fit and need, out of combat but have a wider selection if I am more advanced in a toon like in character progression?
Why do we have to have this quite gruesome powercreep system?

Hi there,

as you have a ranger: ranger has the longest (duration) waterfield ig that I know of on a very decent cooldown.
which is perfect to blast away on for good healing
team up with a thief or be the thief yourself ..(stealth, smoke field, loads of blast finishers) and engi (more smokefield and blastfinishers) and you have a very valid roaming group.
You need to check your pet though in some situations.
I absolutley like running with a ranger as company.

as you have a warrior: good survivability on its own and can be traited well for battle support. but you would be in the heat of battle there.

there is no class solely used for support, but I guess you know that.

if you do not have a lvl 80 yet: do not worry about the forums too much in the beginning, just go with the class you like to lvl with most.
People do like complaining on forums very much
If you like to play an ele just play one and see how it is for you.
It is versatile class and much asked for in WvW. It does require good positioning there and to know what button to press..but which class doesn’t ?
(do not know so much about spvp though) but spvp you can try instant without needing any leveling. just go to PvP and try.
Everything will be lvl 80 there and you can see for yourself and see all your skills and try them and decide what you like. (For beginners there are training bots and training NPC classes to try out some builds)

hope that helps.

hi there!
the only real alt-friendly solution is maybe 3.
If you were really playing alts, your WXP-level structure would look something like:
Charlvl80 1 : wxp rank 40
Charlvl80 2 : wxp rank 40
Charlvl80 3 : wxp rank 20
Charlvl80 4 : wxp rank 20….
so Ideas 1 and 2 do not help at all, only if you do NOT play your alts but one Main.
You really want to reward that again?
