Guild Wars 2

+1

If it isnt too much work for Anet i would love to see the option to buy more guild slots in the gemshop

I play on EU sry

But if you just want the Achievements for the titles and dont want to find out on your own they can be done rather easy with the help of Dulfy’s Guide
http://dulfy.net/2017/03/30/gw2-super-adventure-box-2017-guide/
I would suggest that you just do the Associate/Bachelor/Master of Bubbles achievements since doing those will give you most of the hidden rooms on the way while doing it (Full Video Guide available)
After that you can pick the missing things and do them

And if you want to do Tribulation Mode achievements there also is a guide for those ofc

Good luck
Remember SAB ends soon so you would need to start working on it asap

you should mention if you play on EU or NA

And do you want to do all the Tribulation Mode achievements (and the Weapon collections) too?

Or only the normal mode Achievements for the SAB Titles for W1 and W2?

Arnox.5128:

They would still be able to chat to anyone they want to
[…]
This would also allow one to actually play the game without being connected to the internet.

Wat ?!
:D

Now, there are two potential problems with this. 1. This MAY allow an exploit but I really don’t see how, the exploit being that if one could reverse engineer the code enough, they could go offline, alter the game file to give themselves whatever they want and then just log back in to sync. But the thing is, if they can already reverse engineer the code, there’s nothing stopping them from doing it online too so it’s kind of a moot point.

No
people wouldn’t be able to do that online because for example the Character Data isnt stored on their computer so they cannot alter it since it isnt available to them

(Look at Diablo 2 for example – single player & open battlenet is full of hacked characters but closed battlenet doesnt have that stuff
… as you see just because you have the knowledge to do it offline doesnt help you at all with hacking anything of the server stored online data)

What we need is 1 new Dungeon with HoT Stats

So Players can aquire the exotic versions of HoT Stats Gear in a good way that is fun too and not just boring material farm…

I really really hope we can get just 1 new Dungeon with the next expansion
I understand that Anet doesnt want to rework the core Tyria Dungeons and that is completely fine… they have done well until now and still work well for new Players
But giving us a new Dungeon with all new Stat Combinations would be truly epic

HoT brought us ONLY open world farm where you rely on big Meta Events
And it brought us Raids which is not accessible for like 95% of the community and also usually already requires the right gear before starting it so it is no help in gearing (just for Veteran to gear their other Chars…)
I think Dungeons were a really good middleground content that is missing in the expansion (doesnt need more than 1 Dungeon per expansion)

Yeh

Norn is truly bad
Charr one isnt the best one
Sylvari could be better too
Human is good
Asura is best

Would be nice if Arenanet could put all Norn nodes closer to the spawn point and keep it on one level of the instance maybe
And maybe some small adjustments for Charr (although i didnt check Charr one for a long time since i just decided to always use my Asura for Home Instance mining since it is just so much better compared to the others)

Justine.6351:

I went in thinking visit w1-1 & 1-2 furniture shops. Then realized it was all of them for w1 & w2. Just getting to w1-1 took me an hour using dulfy guide because dulfy was making a spikes jump that was not possible on my norn character for some reason. I ended up finding a different easier jump. Got into w1-2 and realized I was hopelessly lost and gave up after another hour.

You know you dont have to do any of those other furniture shops in tribulation mode?
Just the W1Z1 second furniture shop is only reachable in tribulation mode

All others can be visited in normal mode to unlock them

Are you sure you didnt miss a bubble hidden between two of the leaves that break when you step on them?

I did the Achievement 3 days ago and had no problems completing it

Ithilwen.1529:

So you suggest I play classes I’m unfamiliar with and don’t like instead? That isn’t logical.

yes

but it doesnt mean you have to jump into ranked games right away with those classes
Just practice every class (at least the current Meta Build) to get an overall feeling for that class and how to counter it and its current Meta Build the best

So you know exactly what animation does what to you/for your enemy when you see it in an important match later (that you can then play on Mesmer ofc but you will have much more knowledge about your enemies!)

i really dislike those 1 day sales overall
It happens way too easily that you accidently miss 1 important item or you cannot come online on 1 or 2 days etc….

I think they should turn the March Sale into a 7 items on sale for 1 week instead
and cycle through 4 weeks with 7 sales each during March then

I really wanted to buy a captains airship pass for example since it just gives so much convencience & also accesss to DR which is important during Wintersday etc…
But i missed that one now because i couldnt log on early enough that day :/

Worst thing i cant just buy that Pass for FULL price instead now that i missed the sale
no – i cant buy it at all for half a year or longer….

Danikat.8537:

Is there really any benefit to playing SAB on more than one character? As far as I know all the chests are once per day per account, and it’d mean passing continue coins, baubles etc. between characters.

Since your level, profession, race etc. doesn’t matter it seems like it’d make more sense to just stick to one character.

wrong

your race does matter^^
It can make precise jumping easier/harder

It was one of the most fun fighting zones in all of WvW tbh

not just pure open field fights or the basic attackers outside and defenders on wall fights
It has so much more variety with different options of choke points or traps but also stealth for attackers
You could have so much fun trying to fight your way through and help new players on your server side to get through
At the same time it was fun trying to stop enemies from getting through once you reached the top

Atm Anet made it much much worse with their changes:

• Either it is just fully empty (no enemies who fight you) which basically defeats the purpose that Anet intended for this jp
• or the few new players who now still enter actually have a much harder time since they are the only ones trying and any single veteran player trying to stop them can super easily do so since there is no big group of enemies that could help each other…

In the early days it was no problem if you had no clue … since you just had to team up with the many other people trying it and it became a fun challenge to beat it

I really agree that Anet should make Obsidian Sanctum like EotM
All Servers of 1 color combined vs all of the 2nd color vs all of the 3rd color
They should also make the Chest account bound again!
(it barely gives an valuable loot anyway and if you make it like EotM then people have to fight for the loot again)

Easy:
You run from every fight with a ghost thief when there is no objective that you are fighting for
He cant damage you then since he relies on you walking through his traps or staying inside his dmg aoes

If a ghost thief tries to take your camp though for example you can just run around and prevent him capping since he cant cap while stealthed

If you want to cap an enemy camp you can easily do it after killing the guards even with a ghost thief around since (again) he wont be able to prevent capping progress while stealthed

I wouldnt mind a nerf to ghost thief though since i can see how many people just see it as a stupidly cheesy annoying build
I dont think conditions themselves should reveal though since that would mess up Zerk builds too who apply poison with steal or condis with F2
But maybe Trap or caltrops get a direct dmg part added

Please also consider reducing the amount of League tickets necessary for Ascended Salvage kits by a lot!

Seriously… you get tons of these salvage kits for free when doing fractals… so much that youhave to start deleting them because you dont get as much ascended rings/gear

But PvPers should spend ONE HUNDRED League tickets for a 20-use Salvage Kit that can drop directly in fractals too ??
Hell i would give my 20-use Salvage Kit to get just 1 League Ticket instead probably…
So i really think it should cost only 1 League Ticket per Salvage Kit use to make it fair

Doesnt matter to me since i have tons of them from fractals but i really feel it is unfair to PvP (+WvW) only players…

Paypal, yo. Easy to log into when you want gems, but it doesn’t save the data, so you still have to authenticate.

The billing info and email are still saved in the client unless you go back and save over it with fake info by going halfway through the purchase process though. Yes you still need to authenticate, but your information is still hanging out visible to anyone with access to your client. The email address isn’t even obscured.

So a checkbox for remembering the info and a delete info button is still useful for Paypal users.

Yeh i wish we had the option to not save our info there

A simple checkbox like you suggested would do it Anet! pls

Benjamin Arnold.3457:

Fractals Leak

Don’t tell anyone. I’ll get fired.

Ha, Joke’s on you
The Video is not available to watch in my country!
…
wait a moment…

kurfu.5623:

Those HoT maps aren’t gonna get people to spend money. Instead, give them a week of gliding and auto-loot, as someone already suggested.

I agree with this

HoT zones can actually be pretty frustrating when you dont have Masteries/proper Gear/enough experience yet so they would maybe even encourage F2P players NOT to buy HoT!

Instead give them a limited time access to the truly awesome features of HoT:
Infinite Gliding and Autoloot like mentioned
If easily possible without leading to problems with the Achievements connected to it they could also get accesss to Elite Specialisations for that limited time i guess since that is a big part of the Expansion

It just doesnt even matter when you have finally farmed ALL those ascended shards at some point….
Since you still have to pay close to the amount that it would cost to craft it normally

The Double Nerf killed the reward incentive for all players who didnt already play PvP…

So it stops WvW players from coming to PvP to equip their toons
Or PvE only players who would have finally tried out PvP
It would have been such a nice thing to draw those players into PvP to increase the player pool there…. which is really needed!

Fungus Among us is not too hard

I think it is about average difficulty (not the easiest but definitly not the hardest either)

Ofc you need Itzel Speed Mushrooms Mastery or it will be very hard
But with that mastery and after learning when and where to use your Rush + your Jump Skills it will defintily be doable

My advice is to make a few test runs where you dont care for the timer and just practice jumping/rushing across certains pots multiple times (especially the roots in the later part)
So you know where to start your rush skill so you dont fall through the holes there for example but you still save time by using the rush skill there instead of just carefully jumping across normally

Also: Friends giving you Superspeed along the way works, same for Aalacrity ….
Maybe taking a Mesmer Portal works too then it would be a cakewalk with 1 friend
(didnt test that cause it would really feel too cheesy to me xD)

the unique skins are the reward

the gold is just extra on top

Gaile Gray.6029:

Aury.1367:

checked all, got nothing in WvW.

EDIT: ah kitten , the main checkbox wasnt activated, just the smaller ones -.-

Oh cool, I’m glad you got that working for you. I think I’ll edit the topic so it’s a question, not a bug.

There is at least one Heal effect that doesnt show up in the Combat Log though

I think it was Superior Rune of the Monk that didnt show up when i tested it
(Didnt show under both: Outgoing Healing and Incoming Healing)

• More Horn Forms
  (Horn Colors too maybe? so you could use the horns you like but instead of the grey color that one specific Horn Form always has they could be dyed white/brown for example)
• More Sylvari Glow Colors
• More Asura Skin Colors / Ear Forms
• More Norn Tattoo Colors (like especially more intense colors like some of the special gemshop ones)

yeh there are quite a few asura helmets where hiding the ears would be better than making them stick through the helm when there is no hole…

obvious example would be hellfire helmet…

i wish we had an option to show/hide Asura Ears when using Head Armor that would normally hide the ears

1) it is not free you now actually have to kill all bosses legit (without bugs)

2) if you consider it free because it is so easy then you can just redo that quickly in 1 day and have your new prestigous title

I think the reduction of Ascended Shards from 150/200/250 to only 50 per Chest would have already been enough to reduce the amount of shards that most players get by a lot so not too much easy Ascended Gear is given out!
But it would have still rewarded real active PvP-Players properly!
(You would need to complete the last Byzanitum Chest 18 additional times to get the same amount of Ascended Shards like in Season 5)

But the double nerf seems over the top in my opinion
since you have to farm a lot to get enough Ascended Shards now
and then you still have to pay a lot of gold extra for the crafting part

ya when i first noticed it i had to laugh pretty hard^^

Then i thought this is the best Shards of Glory Sink anet could have come up with xDDD

Now i think the wanted to offer 10 Ascended Shards of Glory for those 500 normal Shards of Glory and 1 League Ticket

I think It should be allowed to swap classes before the beginning of the match (the ~1 minute waiting time inside the Arena) but not anymore during the match!

I just fear that (when professions are locked) Anet wont be able to create fair teams in consideration of the Roles – so they might balance it correctly with MMR but the class mix is unfair (Bunker, Support, Fast Roamer, on Point Brawler, etc…)
I would definitly be open for a Test Phase though and if it does work out well im willing to take the change

no pls keep them
I like the possibly chance on a black lion item with another possible chance on a black lion kit and i dont think we get too many there
You probably just hesitate too much with using it

you just should salvage all exotics you get and sell expensive runes/sigils for profit
(and start to salvage rares if you still have too many the bl salvage kits)

they should have just moved most of the shards to the Byzantium chest and make it little amount on byzantium chest but repeatable

so you only get full seasonal rewards if you play a lot

Since others didnt say it clearly and im not sure if OP already realized:

You need only exotic insignias to change stats of ascended gear in the mystic forge!

maybe they accidently bugged that acheivement when changing Thaumanova Fractal with last patch

Make sure you go in first and before any Cooling Rods have been put into the room

If it still doesnt work i guess it probably is because of the Changes to Heat Room in last patch (Or did you try it before the path on Wednesday already?)

ah oke …yeh i only explored the whole map before doing story

Hevoskuuri.3891:

Let me tell you about a problem I’m having just now. As I said before, I like to tune my looks alot, naturally sometimes via trial and error. I had 2 TM charges left, and a particular set of legs + plate looked good on preview. So I decided what the heck and transmutated them. As soon as I do that, I realize the outcome is not as good as in the preview, and I’m not happy at all. I want to change back. My options now are:

-Buy TM charges with gems. Used all my gems yesterday, no money to spend now.

-Convert gold to gems. That’s ~36 gold for 5 TM charges. An absurd price just to change your looks. I’m saving up for something, can’t afford this option.

-Do map completion. Spending 1-2 hours completing a large zone with a CHANCE of getting a TM charge. And doing this twice, or as many times as it takes to get the 2 charges. A little too much work for changing your shirt and pants maybe?

-Get them from a reward track. Time to pop my boosters and have a 6-hour WvW session to complete a reward track! Come on :-(

Anet, I love your game. I love the customization, dyes, outfit system. But I absolutely can’t understand why transmuting can’t be free, or at least made a little easier. I’ve probably spent 100€ on these stupid charges and it’s getting annoying. Just let us buy a permanent stone PLEASE.

you can get them like 20x faster from PvP during Season

When i have to guess the Top Leaderboard guys probably got around 1200-1400 Transmutation Charges JUST from the last Season
(because you get them from reward track + a lot more from ranked rewards progress)

But yeh… Anet has nothing to lose when offering and infinite Transmutation Upgrade at a reasonable high enough but not too high price

What is Albert the Butler doing in the new map?
Hiding in one of the wooden huts at Lakeside Bazaar

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Albert_the_Butler
First thought was he is probably on the side of Caudeceus and plotting something…

When using camera tricks you can take a look inside the room and see he has a lot of expensive things from Caudeceus Manor with him in that primitive hut
like noble Chairs, Vases, Paintings and some other stuff

Or did he just steal all that stuff from Caudeceus and hides it for himself here? ^^

Lord Drekar.4619:

This leather farm is a great idea. Making it impossible to complete map exploration in this area without heading into it, is literally the worst thing that could have been done. Unless you are a thief or can stealth/survive a ridiculous level of punishment, you will not be able to solo map exploration here (or even do it with a 5-man party).

One of my guildies used 10 res orbs to get to this PoI just so she could finish map completion. Lined walls of snipers that can one shot you? assorted champs and veterans and elites in a huge mixture? a wall of charging centaurs pushing you back constantly? Map completion should not be locked behind a material farm. I love GW2, but honestly, this feels like pretty poor map planning.

now that is a real waste of revive orbs
considering how much they can be worth it certain situations (especially when you cant get help from other players that easy)

It is pretty easy to get to the PoI even solo…
At least if you dont take the front way and walk 20x longer through centaurs…
If you just use the other way Anet provied by climbing up the ruins from southwest then you just have to run like 10 meters before entering the PoI-room
And those 10 meters can easily be survived with
blocks/reflects/invuls/dmg reduction/stealth/teleports/rush skills/pets or minions as bait

Also your friend could have just waited 1-2 days until people farm the map effectively and im sure a zerg will form at some point who can just steamroll the centaurs together … like anet intended it
And if you really want to get it solo then just use the sneaky way i mentioned

Yes they added new Accessory colors but basically somehow screwed all existing ones
And the new ones added are also not what they should look like according to the picture
I would have loved new accessory colors but if the change on all colors was intentional then it was a very bad decision … i really hope it was a mistake and will be fixed

My old brown Accessory Part (which on Charr is just normal hair Part) is now sort of green and totally doesnt fit

All Brown colors in preview look green!
Red Colors looks just yellowish
So now there is no real brown no orange and just a very weak red

Something seems seriously wrong and i hope Anet can either fix it or revert the change if no way to fix

Edit: This only applies to Accessory Colors

If you play just a bit of PvP you get TONS of transmutation charges

I would love an option in gemshop for unlimited transmutation charges upgrade though
(would even easily pay up to 5000 gems for this)

Just making all transmutation charges unnecessary is kind of a kick to the face for people who bought them in the gemshop or worked for them in PvP
I really think in infinite upgrade from the gemshop would be a good solution
As Anet still gets their profit but people who like to change their looks a A LOT can get a better option to do so in the long run

Hammer CC used to be powerful but people have access to much better stunbreaks/stability since HoT so Hammer just cant keep up

It would need a nice dmg buff on ~2 Key skills maybe and maybe shorter cooldowns or some other extra effects like criple on autoattack or whatever

Problem is Hammer has 0 defensive skills and 0 mobility
So it needs to have high damage in addition to the CC that it has or it needs a total rework

yeh definitly

really wondered why the hardest boss get no reward chest with 3x wood
especially if easy bosses like sloth who dont even really attack players and just melt in 20 seconds get one

I suggest Elementalist

The damage potential is great (insane damage on big hitboxes in PvE)
And Ele has also access to various utility skills which can be useful depending on game mode and situation (strong blind field, blocks, absorbs, reflects, many soft and hard CCs, …)

For sPvP currently only Support Shout Ele is truly viable in high Tiers
But for WvW you can have great fun with Full Zerk builds too

Once you get used to switching between the 4 Elements when necessary Ele offers great variety since you have so many different skills no matter what build you play

Adrenal Health is a really powerful Regen (on top of your Heal! and not removable)

So being able to deny the Warrior this extra regen by dodging his Bursts
(or avoiding them through Invul/Bock/Blind etc.)
allows for reasonable counterplay
Warrior is in a good spot now and when you play condi warrior you still have the possiblity to get the 3 stacks extra regen every time no matter how bad you are at landing your bursts

Forcing Warrior to aim / prepare his bursts properly is a part of Warrior Balance

I guess Anet could update the tooltip to make it more clear that you need to land your burst (which confused with longbow again though) but they shouldnt change the functionality

PvP is most likely the easiest and fastest way to get at least 5 Ascended Armorpieces with chosable stats (HoT stats included)

Even if you arent that good at PvP you can easily get the reward Chests because:

• 1) You will be placed in a lower division if you are bad and in those lower divisions you will face other unexperienced Players so you have a good chance to win too
• 2) even if you lose 60% of your Games you will get the Ascended Armor within reasonable time because you gain a few Pips progress for losing too…
  You should ofc always try to win since winning gives a lot more Progress

You can get the current optimal builds at metabattle.com
Dont forget to read through the description of how to play the build and maybe try to watch a few twitch streams of top Gw2 PvP Players like Sindrenerr, Helseth, Rom or Drazeh since you can learn a lot about rotations when watching those streams

If you have no PvP Experience so far you can send me a mail ingame and i can try to find out with you what class would be good to start for you and give you some basic advices for how to play and how to rotate

The Cat trying to catch the Rat at North Camp in Alpine Borderlands

Sometimes they just walk but when i first saw the Rat running away and the Cat chasing behind it it gave me a smile xD

The only thing were this would be needed is for

Internal Cooldowns from Traits/Runes

Sometimes you could make game deciding decisions depending on the Trait being ready or not

ya that looks wrong indeed

You have the new minimum number of 40 games played too so that cant be the reason either
If it doesnt update tomorrow after winning a match i would contact support

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

I think you should contact support. Sounds like something that happens often enough that they should be able to assist, but not so often that it needs to have an in-game change.

I think that adding an npc that offers just maybe 80% of the relics that were required to buy the potion would be easier than assisting with just one player asking support tbh….

They dont need to design a new skin (just another Golem)
They dont need to create any new items just add the option to exchange these potions for xyz number of fractal relics

I found that the defend event for that Ash Legion Camp in southwest of Ashford Plains is rather unbalanced too

The ghosts usually just overrun the camp and even if you manage to kill them all it doesnt help since they still easily destroy the 2 tents before the (ridiculously long) defend time is over

Edit:
Found wiki article … it even states in there that it is unusually hard…
But i guess if the event chain ONLY resets on failure Anet wants to force the failure… seems kind of stupid
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defend_the_Ash_Legion's_camp

yeh would be nice if you could gain small amounts of Favor/Aetherium for doing

Raids / ranked PvP / World Events / Fractals / Dungeons / Events

while representing a Guild

Not gonna touch profession advice since others already commented

Just wanted to say that jumping puzzles and doing difficult jumps for vistas are easiest with :
humans/sylvari/asura

norn can be annoying sometimes when they are so big

Charr hardest because they are big + it is not always that easy to see the center standing point of your character especially when you run with weapons stowed (on all 4 paws instead of just 2 feet)

This is a rather minor point and shouldnt be your primary decision maker obviously but i just wanted to mention it ^^
