Guild Wars 2

I say bring them back on the 4th of July. But don’t make it an achievement or part of the storyline.

Anet is based is the US with US employees. So doing nothing on the 4th of July would be treason.

Instead of dancing. Have players collect materials nearby to light the Effigies. Then players just need to watch for a little for gain a buff and achievement. Reduce the number to complete the achievement.

Also the Effigies are not always in good spot. They should be highly visible with npc around waiting for players to lite the Effigies. Add NPC dialogue about the dragon festival around the Effigies. Make lighting effigies a DE that repeats.

Effigies/Pinatas should be in every city, and major town.

These suggestions are more for next years Dragon Bash.

Mouseover and click enemy tags only.

There are no 80s in low level zones. 80s are downscaled to about two level above the area. Traits and armor is their only advantage.

You can find the Dragon Bash music on our soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/arenanet

Where can you find it ingame?

Post some images of what styles of longbows you want to see in the game. Anet might not know what you think looks cool to you.

So Anet when are we getting these swimsuits? I was hoping it would be this festival but that not the case. I know you didn’t waste time designing these just to tease the players.

Pick your two favorite moas
Main moa
2nd favorite moa
Don’t ever bet on another one
Always bet against your winning moa
Only bet on 2nd favorite moa after Main moa wins, then switch back to main moa.

This plan made me slightly more gold. At the very least you would break even.

And how would this system work? You do realize it’s one of the most common gambler’s fallacies?

You quit before you lose your winnings. This idea keep you near breaking even. When your on a winning streak you quit.

You do realize that the probability for your “winning moa” to win again after its first win is the same than the one of your “2nd favorite moa” ?
As it has been said it is a very common misconception based on a misunderstanding of the way conditional probabilities work which is often reffered as gambler’s fallacy.

It’s 20%, but over two races that 20% is not likely to repeat itself.

Moa’s have 20% chance of winning 2 out of 10 races. But the odds that it will be consecutive is small.

Once again , that is why it’s called CONDITIONAL probabilities. The fact your moa have already won a race (or a thousand for what is matters) doesn’t impact in ANY way the result of the next race.

So yes the probability for a Moa to win 5 races in a row is very small but after he has already won 4 his probability to win a 5th is still 20 % : the same than every other Moa.

TLDR : you can’t judge on past results to forecast the outcome of the next race because every races are independent events.

It’s more of an educated guess based on past results. I’m not disagreeing the chances don’t chance. But I have been able stay near even with this tactic. It’s just knowing when to quit before your luck changes.

I’ve opened maybe under 1000 Dragon Coffers. Bought with gold 300 of them.
*4 mini
*2 tickets

Don’t open them fast or all at once. I’m not sure but DR of lag might affect what drops.

This is a sandbox game at 80! There is no starter zones outside the instance at the beginning of the game. 80s still need to farm low level mats too.

Karma vendors have very little to buy in them. So why not add some of these fun temporary item all over the world to the karma vendors.

Fun karma items:
*fireworks
*Unique Tonics
*Alcohol with visual
*Karma mini
*Item that makes a fun particle effects

Other karma items
*gifts (item that gives a buff to a friend)
*Food buffs, banner buffs

Level 80 is a arbitrary number in this game. Players are downscaled two level above the area with their armor and traits.

No zone is considered obsolete. Players are encouraged to play all the content.

They are blue because if it were any other color, it simply wouldn’t make any sense. True holograms (especially with teleportation technology) would be true color. Simply making them ethereal would make them appear undead.

Having them any other color than blue wouldn’t look right.

Holograms are made of light. As long as they glow and look transparent it would make sense. Asran city already has different color holograms in it.

What do you mean by casual? People who have less time want hard content too. They just don’t want all the grind.

Why do some of you take this post as a joke?

Lag combined with a bug, could easily make the same items drop twice in a row.

Anet seems to have difficulty making large meta bosses fun to play. Future meta dragons (except the elder one) should be about half the size. And should have space to move around in during the fight.

I like the idea of a parachute. But only if it’s in selected areas like the diving glasses.

Diving glasses abilities on gem store swimsuits when released, would be cool.

This post is off tack from the topic.

Why can’t Asura Holograms have different colors like in the SAB? As long as holograms look like they are made of light and glow.

If anyone does not like the holograms. GW2 in based in the future after GW and not a medieval fantasy game.

O.o I didn’t realize futuristic people fought with swords and bows and staffs, and didn’t have any sort of tanks or armor beyond cloth/leather/plate mail…just sayin’

The Charr are on the verge of an industrial revolution. The Charr use tanks. Everyone can make guns, even the Norn. It’s not supposed to be futuristic, but it isn’t classc medieval fantasy.

Asura are futuristic in their use of alchemy. Charr is futuristic in their use of industrial steampunk. Maybe magic is a form of technology. There are different types of technologies in this game, then in the real world.

Example I did get 2 minis between 2 or 3 chests.

Could lag effect RNG drops from chest? This is just a thought and wanted to see what others thought about it.

Say if you open many chest really fast. Will the same drops repeat themselves due to lag.

Hologram Fireworks in the SAB of fun is in multiple colors and look great. Other Asuran holograms could look great in multiple colors. As long as they glow and look low bit in and in 3d.

Pinatas-Only in LA, Put some in other cities. does not drop anything but candy.
Holograms-Why can’t they be other colors?
Holo Projectors-OK but only thing in open world to remind players of the festival.
Dragon Coffers-RNG but ok because they drop a lot.
Rich Dragon Coffer-Scam nothing good in them if no ticket.
Hard work does not guarantee a skin ticket.

This is off topic but when Halloween returns. I hope Anet redoes the free horns. They look terrible. Make them bigger and cooler with curves. Make them actual armor that looks like part of the player.

Why are the holograms blue?

Holograms can be any color when you mix red, green and blue light. Maybe the Asura holograms technology is new. And more colors will be added later.

Also the “holographic Shattered dragon wings” look good. But can we get a version the is darker. It can glow like a black light.

There needs to be a Event timer for fireworks!

Last months living story did have a lot of permanent content in it. The parts before last month was leading up to the events in Southsun. But could have left more permanent content.

I hope future living stories come with more permanent content. And expand on normal DE system.

My only major problem with content is with RNG.

Auto kick AFK players.

I agree the game needs more permanent dungeons and improve on existing ones. Anet should make Living story dungeons so that new enemies move into them after the event.

You post does not address the open world. I think Anet need the add more completely to the DE system. Multiple versions of how DE’s can play out. Random Hard DE’s that are unique, rare and can happen anywhere.

Agree, it should be bigger.

Who to say that this mini game is not in beta?

Just change the bets. Most players can only make a few bets before it’s too expensive. Reducing the bet will allow players to hang out there longer to have fun.

Another idea unrelated to bets:
*This is race track that makes money for LA. So make it look nicer.
*Add a bank and tp. Incase a player wants to risk it all.
*Outdoor bar area. So you can drink your loses away.
*npc that announces the winner
*Race girl at starting line

Dungeon rewards should be based on how well explored the dungeon is. Speed runs should get a smaller reward.

I love the infallible logic bad players like to use…

Yeah, being punished for being a good player, that sounds fair.

While we’re at it, people that run a marathon the fastest should be shunned and the fat kids that finish last should be hailed.

SPEED RUNS ARE A EXPLOIT

Only if exploits are involved. Everything else is just skill, experience and perhaps bad dungeon design.

No skill in running past a mob. Truly skilled players will challenge every enemy in their way and get all the loot.

It’s not going to be a good gold sink when only one player is betting.

Lower the bet in Moa Racing to 10 silver. Everyone can afford that and it will be a much better gold sink with more players betting.

Maybe not everyone should be able to afford it.

Why? With it at 50s less players will be playing it in a few weeks. Isn’t the pot based on how the other players bet?

10s will give more players a chance to play without risking to much silver. And provide a stable group of players gambling.

I suggested on another post that that dragon mini’s should drop from their chests.

I’m not a big WoW fan anyone. I was over that a long time ago. But one thing I liked was the traveling carnival. It had some cool mini games in it. And would move from town to town.

Anet could set great Carnival DE’s. Based on helping the carnival move through zones and helping protect them while they set up.

Imagine the carnival open outside a town for a week. The next week the start to move to their new location outside another town.

Carnival activities
*Simple mini games
*freak shows
*gambling
*Shows and performers
*rides

This carnival would be a mobile version of the one in DR.

Also add one more NPC bookie. And have the bookies standing on something. So they appear taller then most players.

Lower the bet in Moa Racing to 10 silver. Everyone can afford that and it will be a much better gold sink with more players betting.

Funset.7893:

Why is Arenanet making so time limited achievements…I will be away for the weekend and there is no way I can get the achievement or the helmet. Maybe they can repeat the fireworks the next weekend too, for those who will miss the 14-17 ones? Please? :|

Try repeatedly going in and out of overflow in LA. There is a bug that gives players the helmets in the mail. You can do it by entering dragon ball and exiting after every match.

You might also want to guest to a more populated server to do this. If LA is not usually in overflow there.

Anet will fix this soon, so keep trying to going in and out of overflow in LA.

My problem is there is strategy involved in Moa racing. It’s just random chance.

Is this a mount post?

No centaurs are enemies.

llDantheman.9432:

This achievement is bugged and some players can get it randomly by zoning into overflows or while playing Dragon Ball.

I didn’t play dragon ball anytime around receiving the mail.

For me I don’t like the look of the dragon wings players get for Zhaitasty. And I don’t see myself buying 100,000 Zhaitasty off the TP. The foods you get for Zhaitasty is not that great. That leaves only fireworks as the only good reward for Zhaitasty.

There could more better rewards for Zhaitasty. Like a Endless Holographic Tonic for example.
