Guild Wars 2

It’s kind of sad that the only argument aside from the clipping issues that the anti-cape crusaders can come up with is a clip from the Incredibles. If I got a gem for everytime someone posted that clip (or an image from it), I could have bought all the gemstore armours by now.

Lord Kuru.3685:

Maybe each time we kill one, Lord Beetlestone tosses the old one out?

And then the lodgemaster tells US to show some respect <_<

Brother Grimm.5176:

Actually, they should reward lower end runes of holding to encourage new users to craft something useful.

I never even looked into it, but can you toss bags into the mystic flusher for a chance to get a larger one? (That would be an option).

I’m pretty sure the 5-slot bags don’t come from the champ bag

They do it because we have to worship our Gods!

But from what I heard, it’s basically just a guild for Anet employees that shows the Anet logo instead of a [tag]-tag.

Next update’s confirmed, Moto’s made an error in one of his calculations and now Super Adventure Box is starting to leak out into the real world. Better gear up, only SAB-skinned weapons will stand a change against the virtual threat.

On another note, get your Super Adventure Box skins, now available for gems from the Black Lion Trading Company.

Why has nobody asked the OP where he got the idea that when the megaserver gets implemented, you can’t use waypoints anymore? Or did I just miss something while reading the blog entries?

I’ve never died on the drop before, and now suddenly I die all the time. I’ve already reported this as a bug in the game.

My main has been stuck at 99% world completion for a month now because I need two vistas in the red borderland (both in the keep just south of the red spawn). Over the past weeks we’ve been green three times, and now we’re blue.

Boo

Google used to do this, when something’s officially a beta, the company is less likely to be held responsible when something goes wrong. Beta software is usually “use at your own risk”.

Ra Ra.9423:

I also wandered shattered LA. First going to my favorite spot, the underwater ruins of Old LA, where many times I’d swim around – looking at those remnants of a city that was ‘home’ in GW1 for so many years. Each time feeling nostalgic, and remembering all the fun times there…. 250 years ago. Now it is no more, so little of it left. I’ll never feel the same wonder, and mourn the loss of that visible tie to GW history and lore.

Why do people keep saying old LA is gone? It’s right where it always was (except there’s a bit of breachmaker on top of it that you can still swim under).

Someone should start OOLAPS: Old-Old-Lion’s-Arch-Preservation-Society and raise gold to clear the debris and preserve this bit of Krytan history

The first time a Harlem Shake video made me laugh

Umut.5471:

I hope there won’t be any more sab, it just doesn’t fit gw2’s universe and gameplay…

And if you don’t play it, you won’t even know it’s there. So I don’t really see your point.

Shadow Behemoth’s head was regular sized I was so disappointed.

I like Soul’s work, but I like Leif and Maclain’s tracks better to be honest. Soul’s music, though good, lacks variety.

Scarlette and Scarlet

Ravagin.7065:

This is a fundamental power abuse by the Devs; by playing an April Fool’s “joke” on the community, when the community is not able to do so on the Devs.
Poor judgement Devs, very poor judgement.

You can prank them too though. I’ll give you an example.

You: “Hey devs, I’ll buy gems!”
Devs:
You: “April fools!”
Devs:

I’m wondering, are golems affected? How’s Heal-o-tron? I can’t check right now since I’m still at work

Atrum.2698:

System restore points don’t help, either. Pretty sure it’s not client-side, at this point

Of course not, system restore only deals with system files. This is something that’s just coded into the game and activated today.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

Light.7493:

He ran in LA

A true hero knows when to fight, and when to run. And thanks to Kiel ditching LA with Magnus, we had to do all the fighting for her (again).

So when Gnashblade runs, it’s because he’s a hero and when Kiel “runs” it’s because she’s a coward (and not at all evacuating people or anything).

Your little “Gnashblade is a hero” thing was funny for a while but you’re stretching it a bit thin now to be honest.

Astral Projections.7320:

Idk. I’ve gotten used to seeing the game through a tunnel of UI elements above, below to the right and to the left. If I could actually see the environment around me and not feel like I’m wearing blinders like a horse, it wouldn’t feel like Guild Wars 2.

If GW2 is a “tunnel” of UI elements, then what is this?

If you cannot prove it ever mentioned Character slots, I think you should be careful of what you say. I think it’s pretty rude to just come here and call them liars because you didn’t get the promotion you were hoping for, without being able to prove them ever saying that particular item would be on sale.

Also, it would just make sense for the Jungle dragon to be in the Jungle. Just saying.

Nightarch.2943:

BY OGDEN’S HAMMER, WHAT SAVINGS!
Oh wait—this isn’t the good lines thread..

Now this has to be posted:

If they admitted there’s going to be an April 1st patch it would ruin the surprise

Still, for some characters an option like “I’m just glad she’s gone” without the laugher from the others afterwards, would have been nice. Not everybody likes to crack jokes after a big tragedy.

Xia.3485:

Personally I like the change. I rarely transmuted anything from level 1-70 since we out-level our gear so quickly. And now all those stones I didn’t use will be available for my level 80 characters. I’m fairly confident I’m not the only one loving this change.

I still don’t know enough about it to be concerned. No word on how exactly we can earn the charges in game. And knowing anet, they’ll be rewards from multiple sources.. from map completion to daily completion to monthly completion and from BLTC chests (and we still get keys from story instances and random drops).

I usually buy new armour every 10 levels or so, and since I have a whole bunch of transmutation stones sitting in my bank, I’ll transmute armour along if I happen to like the way it looks better than the new armour I bought.

I think they should do something about the “just stand here and hit the air” part that is basically the whole event except for beating up the portals.

Spawn stronger enemies from the portals. Make the shadow bits that drop after the portals disappear explode and knock people over if they don’t dodge them and then make the area where they landed poisonous for a few moments (like 10-12 sec). Make SB’s apply fear to players like the Dragon Champions’ roars do. The thing has two giant claws, let him hit places where a lot of people are standing at random.

There are a lot of possibilities with Shadow Beasty.

I received a random item before (just a green one that happened to match my level) and I took it, in hindsight I should have sent it back or at least have inquired about whether it was meant for me. If I were to ever receive anything from a stranger again, I’ll make sure to ask them, especially if it’s something expensive.

Jungle Worm, Maw and Fire elemental have all gotten a lot tougher over the past year, yet SB remains a relative… friendly creature. He roars, he spawns his little portals, drops some shadow… bits on you, but I don’t think I’ve ever had to revive someone or even heal myself during the event. Considering he’s a world boss, he’s weaker than the champion cave troll or the giant boar which is just… weird.

oshilator.4681:

We’re still going on about this?

And to the OP – You thought THIS was offensive? What did you think of the Mad King’s jokes?

By the by – What do you get if you toss a mini Queen Jennah, a mini Logan, & a mini Eir into the Mystic Forge? A mini Dead Snaff. (I can’t take credit for that one though. A guildie gave it to me.)

I laughed at this. One of my favourite Mad King jokes is “How do you survive a dragon? Run faster than Snaff”.

But I get where the OP’s coming from, the only choices you get is to make the whole thing seem light hearted. It just doesn’t fit the image some people have of their character. My guardian for example would, in my opinion, never make such a remark. Not out of respect for Scarlet, but out of respect for all the people who’ve died.

It’s not about the jokes being offensive to use players, it’s about them being offensive within the game world. Scarlet killed thousands of people and you’re cracking jokes about the whole thing. It’s a case of “too soon” and that makes it feel forced and out of place with some PC’s.

My Mesmer on the other hand, would have picked all three options at once if that had been possible.

I get that Scarlet was the villain, but I felt horrible listening to Marjory and the others joke about her death.

Previous LS updates established that she’s been driven crazy by some external force that she encountered in the Eternal Alchemy and could no longer mentally fight it. We should pity her or mourn for those she’s killed, not make childish jokes about what it felt like to deliver the death blow.

Not to be rude here, but I’m genuinely curious – do dialogue ideas get checked before they are added? If so, did no one suggest that joking about killing a mentally unstable character might be in poor taste?

exactly, something drove her crazy by invading her nightmares and she fought to control it. Eventually it consumed her. Instead of trying to help her fight back we drive a spear through her broken body then laugh about it over drinks. Yip – we’re not so nice.

Well, we never really got a chance to help her in the first place now did we? She went down fighting, we could never get near her. Besides, if what came over her was similar to the other dragons’ corruption, there was no way back for her anyway. In a way, we saved her from a life of being enslaved to Mordremoth.

Yeah…no chance….

Scarlet: Hey guys! Lets talk mby?
Braham: STFU!!!!
Marjori: I know what to do! (Pulls out daggers.)

Yeah…. She was so aggressive.

At that point it was a bit late for her to reach out to us. But I still dislike Braham for going kitten at her T_T

I never knew it was literally called “Not So Secret”

Talonblaze.3175:

I can see them trolling everyone by making all the male characters Trahearne and all the females Scarlet for the day.

Cue the required quote from the plant wielding Saladbolg; “This won’t end well.”

I so want this to happen.

Azure Prower.8701:

Latinkuro.9420:

• some people will complain no matter what goodness a.net gives them !
• a,net could give them 100g for dungeon completion and some would still complain jeesh !
• haters gonna hate and complainers gonna complain !

100 gold is meaningless if the economy is out of whack.

You missed the point completely. What Latinkuro means is that no matter what Anet does, there will always be people who want more, and there will always people who complain about something.

If Anet were to give everyone 5 free character slots tomorrow, there will still be people who’ll find a way to complain about it. Because people love to complain. Coming to these forums has made that very, very clear to me.

A lot of people seem to think that GW2 has been created to fill their every need. That the game should be modeled completely and only after their wishes. And that’s not how it works. And that’s why people complain about every.little.thing they can find.

I mean, I’ve already seen several topics about people complaining that the next patch will not include certain things (like dueling for instance). So instead of being happy about the new things they will get, they choose to focus on what they won’t get, which just makes them come across like spoiled children to me.

Note: The above statement does not necessarily apply to this topic’s OP, it’s more a general thing around these forums.

CureForLiving.5360:

StinVec.3621:

“When you unlock a dye after the feature pack is released, all characters on your account will have unlimited access to that color.

If you already have the same dyes unlocked on multiple characters, when you log in on additional characters, you will receive one unidentified dye for each duplicate dye already unlocked on your account."

So does this mean, in order for us to make a dye account unlocked, we must buy the color and unlock it, and if we already had it unlocked on individual characters then we get an unidentified dye for each old character locked dye of that color?

So we must once again purchase a single dye of every color we want regardless of how many characters already have it unlocked?

Well english is a second language for me, but I’m pretty sure what this means is: if Char A has blue unlocked all alts will have blue unlocked, if however Alt B also has blue unlocked and you login you get a unidentified dye, while still having access to blue.

That’s how I read it too. I think you’ll have to login with all your characters in order to unlock all their dyes across your account though.

I totally agree, this is one of my biggest annoyances while exploring Caledon Forest.

I used to have Vigil armour but eventually transmuted its skin over another item, will I get access to the Vigil armour again or will have have to buy that set again to unlock it?

I wonder what that one bottle of abyss dye I have sitting in my bank will go for now…

Vexander.9850:

Figlilly.3907:

That’s odd Vexander because both my friend and I got the drawing off her not more than 15 minutes ago.

I think it might be because I missed the Evacuation of Lion’s Arch thing. I killed scarlet and participated in the battle, but the Living Story segment before that where you help people escape, I missed. All she tells me is, “I was told not to talk to strangers, and you sure are strange looking.”

Anet now uses Cow & Chicken quotes?

Sera.6539:

Some people were speculating that one of the current characters would die, myself included (I was betting on Kas or Jory). It was mimicking the original Destiny’s Edge too closely. Two of the same race, and one bites the dust. One character couldn’t be there for the battle (Braham/Logan). At least with this, they’re mildly different.

On the other hand, a character dying was the reason DE split up, while in this case it would have been the thing that brings them together.

And who knows? Maybe they’re just saving the character death for the start of Season 2. Anything can happen.

If they want to restrict the key farmers, why not just limit the amount of characters you can create per day instead? If you can only create, let’s say, three new characters per day, that should be more efficient against farming without hindering the people who just want to play the game.

Besides, hasn’t Anet in the past said they don’t mind people farming keys this way? Why would they now want to nerf it?

If they’re going to carry over a lot of changes from the Chinese version to the Western version just to make a quick buck, I might just consider not playing anymore. The Chinese version simply sounds horrible and it’s definitely not the game I’m currently playing. They might as well sell the GW2 franchise to those guys who make Candy Crush or something.

If it’s a new piece, you might be able to find it on the soundcloud page because that’s where Anet puts up the new music that gets introduced during Living Story:

Happy hunting

1. The Marionette battle. I loved this and I hope to see similar mechanics being used in the future.

2. Something new to look forward to every two weeks. I’m glad I don’t have to wait a year for something completely new to happen in the game.

3. Inside the tower of Nightmares. I don’t know why exactly but I just loved this map. It was not very good to do alone most of the time (especially the third floor) but if you got a group together, it could be great fun.

Did you check the GW1 OST’s too? I think some of the music used in GW2 is taken from GW1 but not on the GW2 OST

I like the current ending because I didn’t want anyone to die, but I must say the dialogue for the original ending seems more well-written than the one we currently get at Dead End’s bar. It really feels like they changed it kind of last minute and had to write the new dialogue the morning the voice actors would come over to record their lines.

It’s a shame if that’s what happened but again, I’m still happy everyone lives.

No, during the final mission of that phase of the personal story, all three orders will come with a plan (unlike previous missions where there’d always be one order not offering a plan) and whichever order you pick there, will be the order you join.

I was thinking that, the people in LA hardly saw Scarlet (if at all), but they did see all her troops which were made up of pretty much all the major races. Why wouldn’t they be hating on them too?

If they changed it kind of last minute it explains why some of the dialogue feels a bit forced.

So being sold something for money equals the seller helping you? I’m sure companies like Apple would love to “help” you get rid of your money
