1. Content that doesn’t revolve around achievement points
- I feel like every single patch since Fractals has been an achievement grind. Even holiday events are more focused on getting some meta achievement. This is turning every update into a sour /login /logout for me.
2. Balance entirely separated for WvW/PvE/PvP
- Please just do this already. It took you how many years to realize this mistake for GW1. Why are you doing this to yourselves again? It’s not a bad thing.
3. I want Anet to realize that it’s okay to give up on something that didn’t work. Stop trying to bandaid fix things that are simply not going to work like you originally planned.
- I see things that Anet has recognized as being mistakes, yet they are still here. I see things that Anet has been trying to fix from day one and are still broken. Some of these things really just need to go. Don’t bother fixing them, just admit that it didn’t work and scrap it or at least make them optional. (I’m looking at you, Ranger pets)

Don’t think.
Just do your daily.
It’ll be fixed soon.
Soon.
Soooooooooooooooon.
Definitely one of the best threads in a while. Need to buy some wooden planks to take with my Ranger everywhere I go now.
Plank some kittenes.
It’d be nice if they could churn out skins faster, unfortunately they have stated they cannot do it very quickly.
Took how many months to get a single new armor set? Yeah…
The only thing that needs to be changed is Kiel being a lazy kitten who won’t move.
Content that is designed to be ‘doable’ by full teams of DPS will always make full DPS teams the meta. Full DPS teams will always achieve faster results, thus most people will gravitate towards them.
Until Anet changes this design philosophy, this isn’t going to change.
And yes, I know, sometimes when you get to level 40+ fractals maybe a little sprinkling of support is nice. Woohoo.
Weekend ‘Pact Rallies’ in Orr would be cool. A stacking magic find bonus for each temple taken during the rally, then this ‘Boost’ would last for the week until the next weekend, when the Risen ‘rally’ back and retake the temples. Rinse repeat.
During the weekdays it could just be Orr as usual, though I’m not sure a simple magic find boost will fix the loot issues in the zone. Honestly it’s really kittened up, so many ‘exploited/over farmed’ events have been so utterly neutered that mobs simply don’t have drops, let alone good ones.
A one handed Fellblade and a two handed FDS would be pretty kitten nifty.
I don’t think anything will beat the ~35k of hundred blades.
(This is obviously only with 25 might, high vuln, etc. etc.)
i got an idea of something that can :S
highest LB hit ive had (sorru, no documentation atm).
LB #3 then LB #1 at MAX range with full power boost (BL and full glass cannon iv’e hit 14k…. against another glass cannon :|
but yes, 100b is a -tad- OP
Er, you’re saying you hit 14k with a single auto attack shot?
That’s pretty much entirely impossible, unless you hit a critter.

The longbow is just horribly unwieldy. I cannot get it to fit in any playstyle I use.
It just sits in my bag, looking very pretty.
Tooltip updates and underwater combo field finishers.
ALL THEM BULLET POINTS.
Go outside and tell people you are better then them.
See if they like it.
They are a reskin. You can’t really argue against the definition of a word.
They took pieces of the Whispers heavy armor, removed the ‘top layer’ and added on a new top layer.
Neb, I’ll say this bluntly but without the intention of being rude: You’re not right about this. As you seem to understand, a reskin is simply using a different 2D texture on the same exact 3D model. These two sets are not only not exact, they’re not even really close to exact. Is the silhouette somewhat similar? Sure, I’ll give you that.
Did you preview the armor in-game or are you working from the darkly dyed, low detail preview image supplied by the OP?
Preview it in-game, change the dye colors to make the different pieces of the armor stand out more and you’ll see the difference easily. Even the pieces that are somewhat similar, like the leggings, are not very much so.
A reskin doesn’t have to look 100% similar to be a reskin. You seem to think reskin is just a paintjob, that’s not what I’m implying.
They took armor A and added on a few parts and removed a few parts. It is still a modified version of armor A. The leggings have the same structure, down to the flared hip plates and thin leg plating. The boots have the same structure, with the ‘spikes’ on the top removed. The chest is pretty much entirely the same, some skin was patched over. The helm is the same structure with an added face plate.
Whether or not you like it is a different matter.
Edit: The gloves and shoulders are new, I’m not arguing about those pieces.
Re-skinned armor already?
Bleh.

Was looking foward into dragon look armors since this is a draconic festival. Oh well, seems i’ll just save my gems for another time…Those don’t look anything alike aside from the one common feature: they are both armor.
They are obviously very similar. They have the exact same shell with a new paintjob on top. The exact definition of a ‘reskin’
Don’t be obtuse.
They dont have the exact same shell. It’s pretty obvious. I think you sir are the one being obtuse.
Apparently slapping a new shoulder skin onto an existing armor skin is TOTALLY new and different.
The Heavy female set and the Heavy female Whispers armor have the same basic:
Helm
Leggings
Boots
Chesthttp://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/2/23/Order_of_Whispers_armor_heavy_human_female_front.jpg
Yes, they are slightly different, thus the ‘Reskin’. You take the basic model and add a slightly different look to it.
I’ll give you the Chest piece.. but none of the other pieces look that similar. Also, giving it a new model is not a reskin. Even if was originally made from the model of those boots, they obviously have several differences.

I would be amazed if they actually did this.
I cannot see it happening at all, but it would be amazing.

If you eat food that has a ‘gain health every second’ mod you cannot be killed.
Food that makes you ‘regen’ health makes you immortal. Refills your HP constantly. Please fix this before it becomes unplayable.

Another ugly hammer.
Hurray.
6 man ‘Raid’ dungeon releases next month.
Hundreds of players commit suicide.
Your first mistake was having fun.
Don’t do it again.
/sarcasm
It’s amazing how few mobs drop loot in story quests now.
They really have nerfed those into oblivion. Especially the orr ones, you’re lucky to get one lootable body for every large pack of mobs.
Nobody at anet is willing to say anything about it? This has been bugged since launch and brought up repeatedly.
Well, I’m glad the silence continues unabated.
Zzzzz
Ranger greatsword not hitting like a somewhat stiff noodle.
(It’s been upgraded from soaked noodle status)
Exploding shot-Thief shortbow skill
That’s actually a warrior longbow skill. Not cluster bomb. Different animation.
I wish I could play with no cooldowns.
Ranger would actually be pretty kitten good in dungeons if I could just spam barrage all day.
Has there been any word on the missing armor skins? As of yet I’ve seen many threads but zero response from the dev team on the matter.
Missing sets include:
Masquerade (Also known as Tribal)
Stalwart (Given in Story quests with the wrong skin, has just a basic starter skin)
A few other random pieces
I’m rather confused as to why an issue often brought up since launch has received very little if no attention. Are these skins being saved for something? If so, can you at least tell us they are intentionally not available yet?
I hate seeing my ‘Stalwart’ pieces with the wrong skin sitting in my bank.
I sure hope they don’t talk about how many ‘bullet points’ there are.
UNDERWATER WEAPON PROJECTILE FINISHER x 20
I hope that giant broken statue makes an appearance.
She’d probably complain and whine about everything like she did in the first game.
Spikes.
And Porous bones.
Actually I’ll amend this, when I was farming trolls I got a exotic drop that I thought said ‘The Hunter’, got extremely excited.
Opened up my inventory and it was ‘The Hunt’ which is terrible and sells for 1 gold.
Yeah, that made me mad.
(edited by Neb.4170)
I’ll sacrifice all my pets to whatever god will take them.
Pretty sure we just shut down one base.
Not the entire operation.
But yeah the story is over for probably a very long time so…
Lack of build diversity is probably my biggest issue at the moment.
That and realistic goals to shoot for.
40 + 20 + 40
100.
Nobody stops you from taking it off first.
In real life or in-game?
I doubt he’s wearing full plate mail irl. But who knows!
I am a white knight irl.
Always in full plate.
But that would ruin my immersion.
Brb, going for a dip in my full plate mail.
I miss GW1 hammers.
GW2 hammers are depressing.
As stated earlier, I’m not a PVE or dungeon guy, but, I might do some dungeons if some pets can now survive. Doing some quick (and hopefully accurate) math, it looks like with Master’s Bond at 25 stacks a bear will have 1724 power and 1724 precision.
Without Master’s Bond:
- – - – - – - Power——Prec
Canines —1868-——-1524
Cats —-—1374———2061If I’m correct, then bears should have very respectable damage, if you can get them up to 25 stacks and keep the alive/out of water and otherwise unswapped.
Edited for clarity.
Edited to add: And of course, their toughness and vitality will also be improved.
Are you trying to compare cats and dogs or cats and bears?…
I’m confused. Canine =/= Ursine… Bears.
There is no reason Lemongrass should be 2x better then all the other foods.

Not seeing the huge (2x) difference here.
Jokes on you, Guardian shield doesn’t have a block.
The focus does.
My head hurts.
Until ‘town clothes’ are usable in combat I will probably never use them.
Which sucks, I like being able to customize looks, but oh well, less money I spend.
He/ she is a mesmer and medium armor doesn’t make any sense in that case at all. xD
So click the light armor button near the top and see all the pants. I’ve seen several for both genders. In fact, in terms of female armor, I’d have to say that Guild Wars 2 is overall one of the most conservative MMOs I’ve ever seen.
You misunderstand, I do not mean as far as skin being shown.
I mean simple pants, no dress over it. Or skirt over it, for that matter.
If you click Female → Human → Light armor, you will notice that the pants disappear.
