Guild Wars 2

Think I just figured it out…

You know the black line and you can post your professions, server, and guild

Look we’ve said it before and hopefully for the last time IOM will no longer use the Mesmer revive trick anymore. Wether anyone else from Eredon Terrace dose it is not our say, we act on our own code of honor where as others may disagree and use the glitch. So from this point on if you lose anything from IOM know that it was your fault for we took it fairly and maybe you guys should pay more attention. Till next time

Trying to create Riful of the West from the Anime Claymore. Anyone that can help?

Why do people want such mundane races to be playable? Really people look forward to being the weakest or dumbest races in the game? Tengu and Kodan provide a possible source of story but Skritt and Quagan literally provide nothing. Though Dwarfs would be interesting their implementation would have to be very though out and I don’t really see this happening until a huge event occurs like fighting another dragon. Maybe in the next year or so…

To the dungeon for voting for Ellen Kiel???

Yeah i find it annoying how theres seems to be so many armors in this game how ever when you try and recreate one it is almost impossible. Even getting the faces right shows how lacking character customization is…

Anyone at all?

Trying to create a Claymore from the Claymore Manga/Anime. Recently fell in love with it ankitten ow trying to get some armor and weapons, I could do it on my own but would love some help… also i want to know how many claymore fans are out there. Anyways need help with armor, dies, and weapons.

I’m contemplating saving up for a commander tag and I can’t choose between Guardian or Warrior. I prefer warrior over guardian but I always see guardians as commanders. I was just wanted to know your guys opinion on which is more effective. I know the Healway guardian is nice but how does it compare to the support Shout healing warrior build.

Can I please transfer my unspent skill points into levels for my alternates. As many of us who have played for a while know. The act of making new alts becomes a painstaking grind to get to level 80. That or just let me spend 5-10 gold to to directly level an alt. I don’t want to look up a super complicated guide to craft my way to 80 because of its super inefficiency. I don’t have the time to level another 80 and don’t want to patiently wait 3 months to level one alt casually. If I have my money I want to spend I should be able to spend it. I hate it when I’m playing my main and getting all else useless skill points and experience when my alt. gets no benefit what so ever. Heck you could.

1.Make a craft able bottle-o-leveling
2.Sell an Insta-80 Insta-40 upgrade in the Gem Store
3. Sell +40 levels +60 levels upgrade in the Gem Store
4. Sell an experience link that for a month or two weeks all exp. is shared with any other character. (Of corse scaled to each character. A level 2 alt would get 69xp rather then 180,000xp your main gets)

Btw I’m a complete noob to warriors and their weapons, traits, and skills. So tell which ones are best

Preferably one with good support such as shout healing. But I want to be able to take immense amounts of damage (middle of Zerg most of the time) and I want atleast some decent damage.

Sword/shield with rifle? Decent damage with great survivability. Gettin into warrior and prefer these weapons. Any build that exist?

And for the shield the gaurdian of th six looks the best

So I guess the closest thing to her weapon would be the red ascended sword.

Yeah turns out this’ll be harder than anticipated

Here’s the weapon she uses as well
Anything out there currently like this?

I’ve just gotten into the RWBY series by Roosterteeth and I really want to recreate Pyrrha Nikos. I’m normally not a RP kind a person I really want to do this for some reason. I know I should go female, human, warrior. And I know I should go sword, shield and rifle(any good build likes this currently). But what should I do for armor and dyes?

ScottTheWanderer.4716:

Shortbows (or Longbows) for Elementalists. Elementalists are mages, and mages generally have ranged abilities. However, this profession doesn’t have many ranged abilities other than the staff skills.

And some sort of duel wielding for Guardians. Maybe Maces OH or Axes for both MH and OH. Just so when you use a scepter, you can have a melee weapon in your OH.

Definitely staves for rangers. I wish they had kept the Ritualist class from Guild Wars 1, but I think they could somewhat bring it back by adding nature spells to rangers. I think it would be interesting because then they would be more in tune with nature. And maybe it could make other players actually want rangers in their groups!

Yeah I too like the idea with staff for ranger preferably with good damage and good control of enemies movement. Perhaps barriers of vines and rock that grow from the ground and trap the target inside until they break the wall.

Palador.2170:

I suspect that underwater weapons being used outside of water may present issues.

If you have one really good spear, why would you need two to cover above and below water? They’d need to make it so that a spear works for both when equipped in one slot. But then you’d have people that want two different spears, so you still need to allow for that. I don’t think the game can handle that kind of interaction between the land/water weapon slots without some additional coding.

I see no problem really with adding aquatic weapons to regular use. The skills would simply have to switch. Not that difficult to assimilate. All options of in game weapons are excepted.

1 RULE: Mention the TOP weapon you would like to see for any class multiple makes it very hard for me to try and record.

NOTE!!!!!: I left Warhorn, Torch, Shield, and Focus main hands out because of simplicity reasons (except for MH Torch for Necro.) If you vote for these i will ignore and continue with your other submissions.

Also!!!!! Please, please make sure the class can’t use the weapon you vote for (ex. Asking for Ranger Axe(OH) already exist.) When I see this ad go to update it gives me a small moment of confusion and i have to go and recheck to make sure i didn’t make a mistake.(Also please let me know if i missed a weapon and or have a mistake with one of the categories.)

Yeah it agree that seems to be the one con to having multiple races with extremes in body shapes and sizes. However it think this in its self if is not a legitimate excuse. Most armors look very nice but there’s isn’t much variety which is what I crave. For a full on necromancer looking armor there’s really only the shadow and Arah set that really go with it. Another problem is that there seems to be almost a never ending supply of trench coats in this game and I would like to see either more in game or TP armor and weapon skins.

I would love see some more BA looking gear in the game now. Perhaps some armor that actually has some visual effects. I am hoping that this upcoming Mad King event will let me get something similar to his armor for my necro. I want some weapon skins that really go with the look of certain classes. Some more green scythes for necro. Maybe a staff that has all 4 elements for a elementalist. Some more interesting shields. And axes need a huge overhaul of better skins. People post your pictures of skins you would want added to the game. (I would show the necro scythes from GW1 as an example but it’s late and I’m tired)

Yup in wvw this is a huge pain

JakHammer.7094:

I don’t think the OP has any need for advice on gear acquisition, he just wants to feel like he is not being singled out for drop hate. Depending on how much you play perhaps this info may help.

I have played 2486 hours since launch, or about 6 hours a day. You can’t get exotics on lower level characters, so I had no chance for exotics for about the first 2 months.

When I finally worked through enough alts to find a character I liked enough to main and pushed to 80, I played that level 80 pretty much 100% (over 1900 hours on main.) After about a 6 week drought, I then began to see about 1 exotic a month, or 1 per 180 hours. I was in better health a year ago and the game shiny and new, so I probably averaged more like 8 hours a day then, but I also took some short breaks from GW2 for other games, as my guild was exploring options, so the hours per month is still close enough.

Before the massive nerfs to cursed shore farming and the antibot nerfs with the vicious DR that hit everybody, I had a full exotic Magic Find suit and trinkets briefly (170% + with food and guild/stacking buffs.) That helped a lot, and for a short time I was getting about 2-3 exotics a week. Post nerfs I just put that gear in storage. Regular open world Exotic drops returned to maybe 1 per month. Rares were shot in the head too, which was really painful.

With the change to the once a day Bonus Chest with guaranteed rare or better on World Bosses, things got much better, and it was possible to drop enough stuff to have a little gold. I would say about half the exotics I have gotten since that improvement have come from the bonus chests. I was getting about 2 per month. I think I have only gotten 2 exotics from main chests.

Now with account wide MF and my personal MF at about 77% + the 20% off the Golden Lotus with MF Infusion I was forced to keep, and had to put duplicate stats on, I am seeing 3-4 exotics a month. So 3-4 per about 180 hours, or almost 1 per week.

So if you just want the fun of an occasional Exotic drop, do the activities that give you bonus chances at better drops, like world bosses and champs. Sounds to me like the OP is on the right track and just having a bad run of RNG hate. Or maybe there is some new level 80 thing going on. I do remember that stretch of almost two months when I first got to 80 where I thought exotic drops were a myth.

I have only ever dropped 3 exotics I actually used unmodified and maybe 4 more I kept for skins. Getting adequate rares to salvage or sell is really the key for gold if you want to get along by just playing and defeating stuff. You do have to be sure you get that daily since Laurels are so useful, but if you play 6 hours a day that is pretty much an auto. At lower levels like 2-3 hours you will have to focus daily, so it gets a bit grindy. And the Badges of Honor for discount Ascended have been really good to stretch the Laurels for multiple alts. Guild Commendations for Ascended accessories are a blessing if your guild can do the required activities. Doing a bunch of World Bosses everyday is still grindy too, but I try to vary the ones I visit and that helps a bit. Grinding dungeons and or Fractals is not my style either (though Fractals are apparently the best way to get a lot of the Ascended gear, and at least some Fractals are the only way to get a back item.)

I guess it really is impossible to design a game like this with no grind at all.

Yes. Everything you just said is 500% true. Wow. Such understand. Very advice. Thanks. Wow. Much explanation. Wow. ( lol thank you though)

Hahaha thanks Benjamin Franklin I feel your pain I just feel like when you make and account some sadistic nerd in a dark room determines wether your accounts characters will be swimming in exotic drops or left in a barren wasteland of nothing but greens and blues… And I did have a lot of gold from my entire progression (~30 gold for my asuras tier cultural armor). It’s not buying them that is the issue I just want to get one to frikken drop.

I got my main elementalist to level 80 a month and a half ago and still have not gotten an exotic drop. Wvw has done me nothing, champ and world boss events have gotten me nothing, and fractals have done me nothing. I have 56sh magic find (last time I checked but that was a while ago). Someone donate me there exotics because I want my kitten globs already.

One thing that I always enjoyed in video games was the ability to combine powers and attacks with other npcs or players to creat and a more potent, damaging, and new skill. The current system is very limited with only 3 main mechanisms of fields, projectiles, leaps, blasts and whirls, and though they do their job, lack an impact in combat. I can’t ever think of a time when I was in 1v1 with an opponent and feared the fact they had frost, fire, or chaos armor buff on them. They lack the importance of a fight. The only good thing is the easy ability to stack might and swiftness. So I though of a interesting method to solve this, the ability to increase your powers with combining your skills with your allies. Let’s say you have 3-5 staff elementalists in a group and are all in the fire attunment, if they all held down the staff 5 button light would bounce between all 5 characters signaling a combo move and creat and ultimate version of the fire 5 skill with increased range and damage and effect. This could work with all classes such as nervous staff skills making a giant black ring that would put heavy debuffs on enemies in the ring etc. for warriors the war horn skills could be combined for an ultimate 20 second might stack that would give quickness. They possibilities would be endless and could even got to combining classes ultimate combo moves together. (Necro and water staff ele. could make a plague rain that would poison enemies and heal allies) (guardian and ranger could create a barrage of heavenly spirit arrows that burn and cripple) ( warrior and mesmer could create a warped sphere that would slow allies and their projectiles while speeding up allies in them) ( thief and engineer could create a smoky field that burns and poisons anyone inside for massive damage)
I wouldn’t want the special combos to super overpowers but rewording and devastating when hit and not avoided. Thus, in a small 5 v 5 fight pulling of these ultimate combos would be very difficult with timing and placing of each character. Perhaps add a sort of meter in the HUD with 3 individual segments that can only filled in combat and cannot be affected by traits. You would lose all progress in the bar if you die and report but if you die and rally or revive you maintain your progress. After using your special combo you would gain a period time of exhaustion where for the next 30 seconds you cannot gain anymore progress to your bar ( you would lose all of it when successfully combo). The damage and radius would scale from the amount of players involved 3 players less damage and radius but faster recharge, 4-5 players would increase effect and recharge. I know this will never happen but I though I would post it to see if anyone likes it and agrees that cross skill combos currently are pathetic to a tail gameplay mechanics.

Elementalist looking to join the guild. Will actually drop ice bows

I’m going to add you when I get on I really want to complete this and beat him

Shoot did I miss it then!!! Was there IOM rallied there??

I have to agree with wolfheart. The fact that its only in game design images and art work doesn’t really guarantee that they were promoting it. Even if they were, they scrapped the idea for certain reasons. However,before they even think about adding new weapons, Colin said that Arenanet plans on adding current weapons to new classes first which will be happening this year supposedly. Maybe in the next year and a half to two years this’ll happen. :/ also the classes that would get it would probably be Warrior, Gaurdian, and necro. Mesmer already has a huge assortment of weapons they can use.

I agree pointy hat Mage guild FTW!!!!

Not just that smaller weapons like scepters, pistols and foci all lose their appeal when on an asura. The fabric on your armor is literally bigger than your actual weapon size. I agree with vitus dance suggestion to change the weapon size but only if you couldn’t make things to big or small.

Just fix it. Literally get ride if the coding that tells the game when a weapon is stowed on asuras it won’t magically shrink. It looks tacky for the animation and it makes it harder for you to show off weapons to others.

The best way to beat these classes is to play them and understand how the other person thinks when running this class. There are so many times I run into mesmers that run 3 clones at all time. While choosing 1 of 4 randomly isn’t really effective, I played that build of MESMER and can tell which is the player by mere observation and movement. Not that hard to counter. Same thing with THEIF when they go invisible it’s all about knowing what and where their likely to attack. I’ve dodge rolled out of plenty of back stabs with really just knowing when, and I never played thief. As for GUARDIAN, the magic weapons fit it perfectly, just not to what your used to I guess. The staff is great for wvw might stacking and support. The focus is great for healway builds and so in. ELEMENTALIST does not have good DPS unless you run full zeeker which will get you killed half the time and their health is at the bottom of the food chain. ENGINEER makes me laugh the hardest, the turrets are abysmal. If they place one down simply leave its target area and challenge the engi there they can’t move them without a cd. And their health is not decent, any form of aoe destroys them in seconds. The healing turret is the only reason the engineer is viable besides bunker builds. The other heal is a kit that actually isn’t to bad but much more complicated to go through and the other is a rng mess. The NECROMANCER is supposed to have control over conditions and the marks successfully provides that. Death shroud is the necros main source of survivability due to their lack of outright damage. The WARRIOR is a really tough opponent in the right hands and is the easiest to master. Though they hit kittence you get them low they start to fall apart. They lack the ability to recover easier then guardians, engineers, and elementalist so you basically have to survive longer then they do not to hard if you no what your doing. I feel your main problem is that each class has its one niche in this game. Wether it be eles attunments, theives stealth, guardians runes, necromancers deathshrouds etc. each class is like this for diversity and efficiency. Can I condition necro beat a condition clearin engineer? No. Can a condition cleaning/bunker engineer beat a zerker warrior? No. Can a zerker warrior beat a tank Guardian? No. Can a tank gaurdian beat a shatter Mesmer? No. Can a shatter Mesmer beat a aoe elementalist? No. Can a staff aoe elementalist beat a stealth thief? Can a stealth thief beat a condition grenade engineer? No. Of course all these NOs are actually maybes. No one class is guaranteed a better chance at killing other opponents. Just master your class and build and deal with the fact there’s always going to be someone better than you. If you get hit for 11K health their obviously running full seeker and are taking a lot more damage then usual anyways. Kill them before they kill you. So please stop with all this over powered BS. You simply lack the skills to defeat those that are more skilled and are better adapted to the game than you.

Yes same Ricky thanks for helping out!

Hey wait let’s be smart about this lets all meet up in black gates server and spam in lions arch. Most populated server demands most eyes by people in arenanet.

Yeah nothing really gizmoy out there right now…. God I just want this skin…

Necro and mesmer are currently doing really really good! Elementalist however, were suffering. We were placed down to the class with the least basic health and armor. Basically you have to go full seeker to kill your enemie before they kill you. Right now the best way I can describe my feelings for my main elemental it’s is a hyena trying to fit off a pack of lions. BUT staff eles support abilities are still perfectly fine. And it’s very easy to maintain permanent swiftness as well with staff. So if you want to be semi helpful and do great damage go necro. If you want to be helpful and do damage go Mesmer. And if you want to be super helpfull and do pretty good damage but have a tough time surviving go elementalist.

Depends really what aspect you want. Staff eles are great in water for healin and the auto attack heals as well. It can keep a whole Zerg up with AC fire no problem. And the stuns and imobalize in earth and lightning make it really easy to catch the unlucky who are running from you or your Zerg. Necros are great for spreading conditions. Epidemic really can cut a Zerg rush down quickly and if your smart enough to find the commander curropt boon on him can almost garantee your guild or Zerg the win. Mesmerism are also a very huge asset. Golem rushes basically rely on Mesmer for them to be succesful due to their portals and time warp on gates. The feedback glamor skills is also nice with canon defense so that whatever enemie is arming a canon will take the hit due to reflected projectiles. And if you ever want you can buy a commander tag and run it with your guardian for its survivability. But you need full tank to survive in the middle of a Zerg fight.

I love gadgets. A very unique skill that only engineers can use and with very different effects. My favorite is throw mine, simply because of its weird moment where it makes the game interesting. In pvp when an enemie is down I place one on them and then when their allies come to try and Rez they all get nocked backed. Even better in wvw is trolling people on the side of cliffs and timing it right is so hard but when it works, you nock them off the edge to their dhuum. But alas, the gadgets nor the mainhand options due enough damage to succesfully defeat a compitent opponent. The answer lies in the traits, so please arenanet fix our traits to make gadgets viable.

I think I heard my elementalist stop crying for a second when I read this.

If I were you I would hope in WvW and run in zergs while in teamspeak. You won’t level as quickly but you’ll get agreat head start on badges of armor and gold which you can then ,once level 80, buy a full set of exotics and simply role that. Armor doesn’t look to nice but you get your stats and then transmute the looks you want.

I like the ability to have your class symbol be next to your name so commanders don’t require map chat as much.

Great, way to stoop down to the age of insecure 11 year old who didn’t get accepted into a party. Mellow out dude either join a wvw guild or simply leave to another map, server, or Zerg. Why act like a 2 year old and waste stuff that hurts your entire server over 2 or 3 kittens that ruined your day. :/

Prettymuch because I am tired of being kitten ed all over by elitist jerks because my gear is not BiS or because I don’t know precisely what to do or because i ask too many questions. So you know what. Now that I know this foolishness makes you clowns cry I’m adding it to my arsenal.

So think about people like me the next time you feel like being mean to someone. You being mean might just cost you the game.

Well I am a kind person and u don’t have any problems with people that follow me or my guild. We have a guild of maybe 20-30 people (depends on the night) and we just Roke in the Zerg and greatly help our server. When we pop a commander we are kind to the pugs that come and we invite them to our teamspeak. So kitten about this elitist bullkitten don’t just assume I’m an kitten for rolling with a guild. If you were in ET I could but alas your attitude don’t like :/

Yeah sorrows furnace is -alright- I mean it fits more with the commando joke class that arena net did I spoof of. More of a soldier rifle wielder then my preference of a crazy, psychopath engineer who masks his face as he kills you with his inventions.
