Guild Wars 2

I never liked sab….never will…so I will not join it…that’s that.

What the actual kitten. Are you seriously talking about a mini…the animation of a mini. I killed countless fishes,sylvari,chars,dogs,drakes,wyverns…etc. and you complain about a mini…the animation of a mini.What in the name of Balthazar is happening with the people nowadays?! 2017…the year where we complain about a mini’s animation… Overly sensitive…or what?! still hard for me to understand…

I can’t see the issue..

I could have a longbow on my back and a longbow back item….and a longbow shooting longbows….that would be sooooo good !

You could be onto something there. The post reminded me of AVGN’s review of Little Red Hood. In it you can get a slingshot but instead of shooting rocks you throw slingshots. This longbow could be a longbow that shoots longbows. If collections were still needed you would need to kick trees to complete the legendary longbow.
At the mistic forge when you finally have the 4 ingredients you need you throw them in. Instead of getting the bow straight away you are transported to Zommoros where he says, “Thank you for your coming.” and gives you the bow.

Anet,hire this guy!!!

Hello guys,hello Anet!
Let me start with…..I am longbow addicted! If I could equip a longbow on my wolf pet…I would do it,if I could have a longbow on my back and a longbow back item….and a longbow shooting longbows….that would be sooooo good !
Now on a more serious note, as we can see the legendaries are created with a rule ,one legendary silly looking and another one serious looking.That goes with all the legendaries(well ,the axe can be excluded,both look nice) .
So….I’ve been playing this game for more than 4 years and all this time I was waiting for another legendary longbow.Let’s be honest,if you are not a Sylvari female ,Kudzu looks out of place on any other races.

What I hope is that Kudzu is not the serious one…
I beg you Anet,create an epic longbow!

Now to get to my other issues,i probably mentioned this many time.
Can we have an arrow in our hand when we are in attack mode…or when we shoot?!

Maybe if that is not and will never be on the table for the devs…maybe one dev can make it in his spare time,is it that hard?! (and maybe I/we can sponsor the creation of that arrow)
I would really love an answer for this.

Thank you guys and thank you Anet!

Bruno.3812:

What I was wondering if WvW uses reward track progress to track individual’s WvW
Work and through that their guilds. If it does it may require tracking through a reward track also in PvE.

The reward track imo doesn’t seem to be related to claiming or mostly anything other than general “farm” in WvW. And reward tracks in PvE….idk about that.

Bruno.3812:

How does WvW sort out which guild is doing the most work?

I am not entirely sure but I suppose the guild who killed the most “mobs” and stayed the most on the capturing area get’s the claim right.
I can’t find anywhere a 100% explanation.

Bruno.3812:

Sounds interesting. But what would stop someone with a one person guild claiming the PvE event for himself before a large guild can claim it?

It would be like WvW,the way camps or anything there is claimed.If more than one guilds does it ,the one who works more for it gets the right to claim it.
And if a 1 man guild comes 1st and works the most for it that 1 man guild should be able to claim.

Some addition: When the forts/temples are lost/claimed by the “mobs” ,buff is deactivated and the fort/temple claim on it is lost.

There are many camps and stuff to be claimed so I think many guilds would have the opportunity to “own” something in pve and a good rule would be that a guild can claim only 1 fort/temple.

Hello guys. My “brilliant” brain gave birth today to one decent idea. We have the temples in Orr ,different forts and camps, those have a chain of events to claim them for a " faction" like seraph etc. But wouldn’t be awesome and nice the guilds who helped doing those events, to be able to “claim” them.It would be a pseudo-claim since it will still be the seraphs or…the npcs “owning” them but the guild who helped the most in the event could have the banners raised in/near the camp/temple and can receive a small buff like 10% exp or karma etc.
That would be IMO a nice way to repopulate some areas and it would be nice to “own” something in the PVE area.
So,what do you think?

Indeed there are too few quivers…

Hello,i was thinking today what was missing from my perfect looking Ranger and i knew, we have ice map-fire map , fire weapons-ice weapons,fire outfit….soon ice outfit but we need that ice quiver,ooor i need it.

So Anet…make my dre……our dream come true!

Hello guys. I’m Nury. I’ve played this game for a long time,started more than 4 years ago and I acquired some knowledge,I know my way around Tyria and i wish to share my knowledge with others so,if you are a new player and wish to have someone guide you and assist you in your journey i will be happy to be the one who has that role.(Atm i am looking only for one “mentee”).

Hello,i am casual as well,i used to play GW2 a lot but now i have a job and it’s not that i don’t have time to play it,but my mind is filled with real life stuff,worries and other things and i am not in the mood to play . When HoT was released i used to die so much but you know what,i love it,i love to have a challenge to be able to overcome obstacles.Almost every stuff in Core game is too easy…even group content.
I am a casual but i wish they would make the game harder not easier.

Tequatl…. because i am too awesome!

aaand i still wonder if i am the only one who dislikes having something stuck to my head to play games….plus it hurts the eyes…

Hello Anet and forum!
From time to time i just think what would i like to see in GW2 and i write it down and i think today is the day when I “release” the list.

So here is what i would like to see in GW2:
-Primary and Secondary weapons to be shown on the character in the same time.(immersive)

-Mounts (as toys) like proper looking mounts.(no speed buff)

-Capes(I know about the clipping issues but those can be fixed so easy with Charrs getting shoulder capes or Aion’s Asmodian basic capes )

-ARROWS for bows….yea that’s the most immersive breaking thing for me since i play a ranger since … forever.When the ranger stays in the attack stance it would be nice to have an arrow between those fingers.

-Different idle stances

-Transformation Tonics duration increase to be able to keep them permanently by reactivating(mostly the combat ones)

-Neon weapons and outfit.Imagine black outfits and weapons with neon colours(would be cool)

-Focus weapons as melee….some of them would be so nice as “claws”.

-Samurai outfit and weapons.

-Weapon sheets for swords,daggers,greatswords just like Belinda’s.

-A nice mentor-mentee system.(Maybe like Lineage 2 one)

-Blood on the weapons,armor while fighting/after fighting.

These are the things i would love to see in GW2,i have some other ideas but those are too …. not achievable.

So,what do you say guys,do you agree or have other ideas ?

Anet,can you give us a hint or something about if these things are even on your list or if you would like to see them in GW2?

I wish they would remove the ability to join more than 1 guild,i think being able to join so many guilds removes that loyalty element,the feeling of belonging to a group not tons of groups,i never liked how gw2 handles guilds….

So…i am stuck with Kudzu as my only legendary longbow option…i was hoping…..you know (sobbing) …. for a more….manly legendary….longbow….

I wish they would release new skins every single day,i want diversity and loads and loads of new stuff gems or not…i don’t really care.

I can’t agree with this…I have a disabled cousin,he is like a brother,i was there when he wasn’t disabled,i was there during the surgeries that left him disabled,he was a gamer,not anymore since he can’t use one of the arm but should games develop or change stuff for him or any other disabled gamer out there? No!(color blind is an exception,can be fixed easily more or less)
The reason for that is simple,ppl want challenging content,without challenging content,an mmorpg slowly dies,look at GW2,they had to make an expansion that focuses more or less on spending a lot of time to get something,making it challenging.
What you ask is less challenging stuff.
Now let’s talk why should a gaming company create something for a small minority who can probably bring low income.There are disabled people who can work but many can’t,a business who focuses on people who can’t bring income sounds like suicide…
I am sorry if i sound like an kitten,i wish my cousin could play any game and i wish every gaming company would develop games for him but that doesn’t mean it’s correct…

(Edit: Forgot to mention,i didn’t get the previous shoulder skin and i will probably not get this one,i have a job, I work a lot but if i can’t get it…i don’t go on the forum asking for stuff to become easier to get)

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

“Give the players what they want” Which players? We want different things.

Further “listening” doesn’t mean “doing exactly what the other person wants” — sometimes, the people offering a criticism confuse the solution with the issue and the company needs to figure out the core concern and address that.

For each controversial change made recently, there have been good reasons:

• Players asked for more challenging content with rewards gated behind it.
• Players wanted more variation from what they had done before.
• Players wanted less visual clutter, so they could see what foes were doing.
• Players requested open-world and instanced content foes that would benefit stats other than zerker.
• Rebalancing is required to maintain a healthy PvE/PvP/WvW and a healthy economy.

And so on.

We can disagree about whether ANet succeeded in finding the right balance in all the above, but I don’t think it’s remotely fair to accuse ANet of not paying attention to our concerns.

tl;dr “listening” isn’t the same as “agreeing”, let alone doing exactly as demanded by the other party.

Exactly this!!!!

And…i don’t even want to go back at the forum after a 1 minute reading…i don’t blame the devs.

Draygo.9473:

They could base it on the max guild roster size. You know the guy you gotta pay to increase your guild member cap? That. If your are a first level guild with the lowest member cap your upgrades are cheaper. The higher your member cap the more you pay.

Exactly! And if you increase your roster size, you’ll have to pay the materials/gold needed to move from e.g. Tavern Restoration 1 for guild size 1 to Tavern Restoration 1 for guild size 2. That way, people can’t kick their members, upgrade their guilds for cheap and invite everyone back – they’ll have to pay the materials needed for their guild size.

It would have been fairly easy to create this system but instead anet decided to kitten over small guilds. Hopefully this was just due to a lack of time and not because they don’t care, and they’ll fix it sometime in the future.

Nury.3062:

I am a guild leader since 14 november 2013 we had many members now we don’t …let’s say 10-15 daily online members,that is a small guild,yet we don’t complain about the upgrades and we work hard to get our amazing guild hall in a nice shape.
We got all the buildings (tents for now) available and many of the upgrades.
And we are working constantly on it.

Good for you that you don’t mind grinding for all those materials you’ll need to get all those things back that you used to have before anet took them away. The upgrades I want back are unreachable for my guild (number 1 priority would be the wvw +5 supplies buff), so I can choose between suffering in silence and letting anet know that the new system isn’t working for small guilds, especially for the ones focused on wvw. I choose the latter.

I have only one question.How many members can be considered a small guild in your opinion?

cpchow.7416:

Enraged 200%dmg, HOT event farming, raid equipment checking , condi dmg new meta . Equipment races for raid as the second raid boss you may have to wear full tank, the third boss need full healing build , etc.

What’s the different between gw2 and WOW now?
Anet should remember whats make gw2 better than WOW. If they fix the mistake , more and more players will leave the game. They should just let the casual players zerk down the boss with exotic equipment only.

So…you are talking about the Raid like it’s the only thing in the game…that’s a small part of it…You can still do everything else like before…

If you are on the Eu server join Balthazar Order[Gods],we are a chill group,we do whatever fells fun whenever feels fun.We did Raids a bit and we will do more soon.
Mail me in game.

Bug or the Crystal Throne changes as well?

I always see the “make the Guild Hall Upgrades scale with the number of members the guild has” FIX. What can stop me from kicking all my guild members,get the mats i need from them,get the upgrade and then invite them again…?!

It might be hard for small guilds to do stuff…but as many people said if you create a guild and you are 2-3 members…let’s be honest,how can you expect to do any content with that guild?
I am a guild leader since 14 november 2013 we had many members now we don’t …let’s say 10-15 daily online members,that is a small guild,yet we don’t complain about the upgrades and we work hard to get our amazing guild hall in a nice shape.

Just to prove my point a bit.The human is my main,the ranger i would love to make a legendary longbow for…
Tell me on which one fits better…

Personally I find beauty in diversity. I don’t like to enclose myself in predefined concepts and visions. Venturing yourself by associating seemingly incompatible pieces together to bring out a whole new vision is what I find interesting and pretty.
I find more visual opportunities with your human holding the Kudzu then with the already leafy Sylvari with a leafy bow.

So in short, yeah, it looks better with your human imo

I feel like most of the people who like Kudzu would say anything just to make Kudzu look good,or maybe not,i don’t know but it’s hard for me to run around with a flower bow dressed like that…well maybe it’s just me…

Just to prove my point a bit.The human is my main,the ranger i would love to make a legendary longbow for…
Tell me on which one fits better…

Dvious.8126:

Since these weapons are supposed to be “Legendary”, why not give them 2-3 optional appearances for each or EVEN BETTER interchangeable appearance sections allowing players to customize/personalize their legendary really making it a “Legendary” weapon.

Example: The Longbow could have 3 different string options, 3 different grip options, 3 different limb options. Then allow the player to build it themselves. This would create at least some variation between appearances that would all obviously be a longbow coupled with giving the player a sense of personalization that would last longer than just the accomplishment itself.

Make this journey and reward memorable by basing it more on what the player wants. Please make an attempt at not forcing your playerbase to accept someone elses aesthetic. Step out of the box of trying to make everyone look the same. This would be a step toward making legendary weapons truly epic.

EDIT: add into that set of options a choice of sound effects.

Sounds like Dragon Age Inquisition crafting…not bad but probably takes a while to create that.

Snow.2506:

I guess you could always go for a melee weapon on your weapon swap. If you get a legendary bow I hope they do a melee staff.

The problem with legendary staff, the 2nd legendary staff was released so,no hopes for melee staff atm but there is still hope for the longbow.

Snow.2506:

I’m a girl And I won’t touch Dreamer. Maybe, MAYBE on another character. Bit I play a gloomy thief….
I’m trying to make kudzu for my friend though. She plays a sylvari so it’s appropriate.
I actually don’t benefit from any legendaries. I’m a daredevil and enjoying the staff but there Aren’t any appropriate Legendary staffs. OP, do what I do. There are plenty of long bow skins That fit the epic theme. Just skin an ascended. The biggest benefit of a legendary is the skin. Stat swapping isn’t even that hard on ascended.

I own many longbow skins,well,i own all the skins i like but it’s about the legendary,the journey to create it ,the fulfillment feeling you have after creating it…I want that,but i have no reason to do it …

Cyrill Faust.9340:

I’m a hetro guy with all male chars and both Dreamer and Kudzu. I think they’re both awesome, I mean what’s more metal than exploding rainbow death ponies?

You want to make it sound cooler….might be for you but for my taste,sounds like immaturity(i don’t call you immature,i call the weapons “purpose” immature)
Flowers and Ponies…i don’t think i have to say more…

(After reading what i wrote…i sound rude….it’s not supposed to be…)

I don’t farm at all….but i don’t agree with you.
If a player wants to be in that map,why shouldn’t he be there?
Is there a new feature where the maps can have owners and decide who should and who shouldn’t be on those maps?!
Maybe you disturb them with your events and they should complain.

Everyone should stop with “I want to do this so who’s not doing what i do should go.”

Prime Greek.1092:

I hate the raid !

TOO HARD FOR CASUAL PLAYERS !!!!

I don’t really care about all you Hardcore “Give me more pain. Beat me Beat me, Yes Sir may I have another” players.

My guildies and I stop playing HoT after story because it was too hard.

We now tried several times with raids and the same. TOO HARD !!!

Everyone is back in Tyria farming for precursor crafting.

ANET ! Stop listening to Hardcore players !

You have more Casual players in the game than Hardcore players !

Turn down the difficulty !

Everything in this game is casual and now when we have something nice you want it casual….i have a full time job…i can play few hours…i am a casual if we count the hours i play,but i am in no way casual like you…your idea of casual = bad player.

Agemnon.4608:

What about a vampire themed bow? I think bats trailing smoke and sparkles would be great projectiles while the footsteps give sparkles. The character would emit a pale glow with sparkles. Juggernaut shouldn’t be the only legendary to give cool armor effects. The bow itself would look silver with gargoyle and bat wing accents.

Sounds ok…..but almost everything sounds better than flower bow…

Dear Anet,

I’ve been playing this game since….forever and i love archers in video games so when i started playing this game i had to create an archer so i picked the Ranger.

The weapon an archer uses it’s obviously a bow,I don’t like shortbows,i actually like huge bows.

To get to the point,my Ranger is 3 years old and i always wanted a legendary bow for him but i couldn’t see any legendary bows,because my Ranger is not a Sylvari or a female char or whatever Kudzu is supposed to be for.
From the day i learned about legendaries and Kudzu i was disappointed.

The flower bow it’s not something i would be proud to achieve.

Anet,please,this time when you create a legendary longbow do it EPIC,make it scream EPICNESS!!!

Thank you!

Look…i don’t say,F2P should get this and that…all i care is for my members…f2p or core…to get the buffs we worked for….nothing else.

not only disabled for F2P but also for Paid core game

see thread :
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Guild-boon-disabled-for-non-HoT-players/5723332

In their (ArenaNet) eyes the paid core game no longer exists save for a few less restrictions. If you aren’t a HoT player then you are playing the game for Free.

This is blatantly obvious by all the changes to the core game.

Well…they should not remove something that was already there…and move it in the expansion…

Well…core or not…i care about my members and my members are f2p…core…whatever…i wish i could provide them those buffs…

Sry if there is a topic about it already but this kittenes me off!!!

I love to have new members in the guild,help them,guide them,offer them the guild buffs….ohh wait….if they are f2p they can’t get them….COME ON Anet!!!
I have to say “Sry…but the buffs we worked for by spending our materials are limited to the people who have HoT…”

I love HoT and Anet it is by far my favorite gaming company….but guild buffs…come on….!!!

No…opinions on it?

Hello everyone.With the staff changes,being able to be used as melee weapon i had this idea,Focus as melee weapons.Imagine,dual wielding 2 focuses would look like having new weapons,claws or close to that.Most of the focuses look like can be used for stabbing.I think this would be a good idea.

And

Tournament Tower PvP

This is simple. 1 vs 1 or team vs team in a tower,everyone fighting for the top position.
As higher as you get the rewards become better.Can be like a weekly thing,at the end of the week the top team gets maybe tickets in the style of wvw tickets for exclusive stuff.
Victories grant points and loses remove points.

What do you think?

Why?
I am not the type who cares much about what others get or if others get more than me but the way you say it in a demanding way seems almost rude.

The idea behind the pre-purchase is to trust the company and give your money before seeing the product for some bonuses or perks.
Many people spent their money and had no idea what will they get and that char slot can be considered the bonus for that.

That’s ,at least, what i think.

Hello everyone!

With the latest nVidia driver update i got a nasty issue with GW2 and some other online games.
The game froze and i had this annoying black flickering.
I suspected that it was because of the driver but i was not sure but after some research i discovered that it was actually the latest driver update.
To fix it i had to rollback the driver update.
If you don’t know how to rollback your driver,these are the steps:

Control Panel > System and Security > System > Device Manager > Display Adapters > Right click on your graphic card > Properties > Driver > Rollback Driver

(Or search “Device Manager” for a shortcut)

And hopefully it will fix your problem.
Have Fun!

DavidGX.7240:

Is this a known issue? Any fixes incoming? Sometimes when I start the game, it gets to the character screens and locks up. The music continues to play and the rest of my computer seems to run just fine but the animation is frozen. The colors on my character’s armor don’t appear to have loaded correctly and are a different shade. Alt tabbing doesn’t work, trying to close the game or kill the task on my second monitor doesn’t even work. I have to reset my PC.

I’m on Windows 10 Home 64bit. I’m running two Radeon 7970’s in Crossfire with 16GB of RAM and a 3770k CPU.

Hello.
Have you tried to rollback your graphic card driver.
My latest driver (i have an nVidia) update made GW2 unplayable,freeze + black flickering and when it was working had a ….some kind of lag..
All i had to do was to rollback the driver and now i can play the game.
I hope this helps you.

Hello Tyrians!

I am Nury , the leader of Balthazar Order.We are currently looking for new members,the only requirement to join the guild is to be friendly.We accept new players,free players and veterans.

To talk a bit about the guild,we are a bunch of people focused on doing everything that feels fun.
The guild was created on 14th November 2013 and from the 1st day i wanted to make sure the guild and its members will focus on helping and guiding whoever needs us and even now after almost 2 years we haven’t changed.

We are waiting for you,bring your friends,family,rivals !!!

Write below if you want to join or whisper/send mail to Drakonury in game!

I played my ranger since the 1st time i launched the game,i am a big fan of longbows and archers in general but i was never more excited than i am now about the ranger.
The whole idea seems good and the play style is drastically change and the pets….THE NEW PETS ARE AWESOME.

Some people here on the forums have concerns about the rangers being forced into playing Druid to be accepted in parties.My answer to that is simple,you play with the wrong players.
I never had problems to be a ranger and to do whatever content i wanted even when the rangers were considered the worst class and nobody wanted rangers in their party.(That was a long time ago…)

Anet,you just switched my frustration (from waking up too early and not being able to enjoy 2 more precious hours of sleep before going to work) with excitement.

Thank you,Anet, for everything you’ve done!

It looks awesome…it’s just a matter of taste…

I guess not as many as I thought need it…
