Guild Wars 2

guys he/she is not trying to finish the normal map completion but instead the
exploration of all zones … meaning he has to be in every zone of each map at least once to discover it

activate the content guide and go to each map

also check for blurred zones a the edges of each map

you need electro pink instead of the red ^^
(maybe also electro peach)

good ideas there Orpheal

i can only hope Anet gives dungeons some love again
i recently read it somewhere and it is just true:
Dungeons are the kind of content that should be between hitting lvl 80 and Raids…
And it is what new players should focus on first to gain experience in content that is harder than open world but not as hard as Highlvl Fractals or Raids

I am a bit scared that anet wouldnt introduce dungeon specific Gliders / Finishers / Mining Tools / etc… because they want that stuff reserved for gemshop

Your ideas are awesome and i hope Anet takes a look at them and revives dungeons again

Konig Des Todes.2086:

There are items for 1 token. Which can be sold on TP or to merchant.

So they kind of already have.

That said, ArenaNet, please add in dungeon-specific backpiece, aquabreather, and glider skins.

oh yes didnt even think of glider and aquabreather

the first non gemshop gliders maybe?

perfect dungeon token sink:
a new title: " I like wasting stuff "
costs: 20.000 dungeon tokens

other possibledungeon token sinks:
- endless slaying potions
- dungeon specific backpiece skins

It seems that once you have put up an lfg and you found a full group with it you can not change it anymore while still inside the same group…

For example if you do P1 of CoF then after that 1 guy leaves but the other 4 players decide they also want to do P2. if then somone in the group wants to make a new lfg and change the previous “p1” to “p2” but it will appear as the old “p1” and it is not possible to change it to any other new message that you would write instead…

not even playing much pvp atm …
but i can feel with active PvPers … Anet give them some love

also… i want to watch PvPers streaming PvE for 90% of their time haha

DGraves.3720:

How is this at all useful?

to negate the automatic speedbuff of pact commander mastery in cities in order to have close to normal runspeed for jumping puzzles in cities again

plis fix :/

yes i just noticed that too

i really hope this is a bug and not a silent removal without mentioning
but that would make no sense since there is an extra option to show or not show speech bubbles so everyone can decide for himself
therfor it must be a bug

much easier to quickly see who said something when speech bubbles are showing

uhm…

i think Snaff is important even though he died..

because he was the more important asuran member of Destiny’s Edge 1 i would say and not Zojia

yes that would be a nice little improvement to dungeons again

in addition to that they should introduce new rewards for tokens that require a lot of tokens though so people also have an incentive again to farm inside the dungeons for the one thing that is truly unique the dungeons – not the gold, but the tokens!
(yes i know PvP reward tracks exist..)

stuff that could be added to the dungeon merchants:
- Endless slaying potions (1000 tokens?)
- Endless Tonics (1000 tokens?)
- Dungeon specific backpiece skins (1500 tokens?)
- Title: I like wasting stuff (15.000 tokens…. maybe more)

this is just sad…

someone having to ask on help to SOLO the dungeon because he can’t find people anymore doing it…
:(

anet please reduce the dungeon reward buff to -40% of the previous rewards
(instead of 66%) and in addition to that give us some new rewards at the token merchants that require a lot of tokens:
- Endless slaying potions (1000 tokens?)
- Endless Tonics (1000 tokens?)
- Dungeon specific backpiece skins (1500 tokens?)
- Title: I like wasting stuff (15.000 tokens…. maybe more)

Listen OP

what you should do is ask for the best weapon
for X class in Y situation

then people can help you out easily and give good advice

at least distinguish between PvP and PvE … and even then there can be major differences where a weapon is good in one PvE situation but not optimal in another PvE situation…

it is not related to having the expansion or not

you will just have to wait until it comes back to the gemshop during a sale
so just check the gemshop daily while going on with playing normally
not much else that you can do about it

there are armorpieces where even shadow abyss is just dark grey and not really black

but yes an even more white dye to balance between different armorpieces when white is not always white on each armorpiece would be nice

Anet staff should make WvW raid and jump from server to server on dev accounts with invulnerable buff and steamroll everything

that would be fun
especially the outrage of kitten players the day after

i would have some tanky chars probably … chars where i dont risk losing progress

but im pretty sure i would still use mostly fully offesnive chars to push the limits and for the fun and the challenge

i would most likely test out new content on tanky chars carefully .. but once i know enemies and new animations and know what could kill me and what i have to avoid i will get my berserker chars in there because they are just more fun to play
more fun to play because:
when enemies lifebars melt quicker its satisfying to me (i feel powerfull >:D)
also the risk and challenge definitly makes it more exciting

if i just stood there while knowing that i can facetank 90% of content now because i run a tanky spec and i only have to dodge at the really heavy enemies then the game would get rather boring to me
so the only reason to use tanky geared characters would be really to not los 100% of my progress in case some of my zerker characters permanently dies and is deleted

If you compare it to Diablo 3 where you actually can chose to play a “Harcore” Character who is permanently dead if he dies once then it can definitly give you more excitement and fun in playing such a character …
but only if you still play pretty much the same builds as you do on a normal character
because if you play the hardcore character fully tanky… then there is no risk and no more excitement .. the whole point of actually playing a hardcore character is completely gone if you play 100% tanky then…
you would maybe take one emergency skill/trait to make use of when you are really about to die in order to rescue yourself but the rest of the build and your gear should stay the same as if death wouldnt have any significant impact

Ahh my main acc and the guildhall witht he jp is on EU :/
so you cant try it without creating an EU account

I will definilty try out yours though with my NA account
i’ll send you an ingame message asking for an invite for that one ^^

wouldnt that completely destroy the sense of what an Achievement is?

What would you want to have that achievmeent for if you know you didnt deserve it and you actually didnt achieve anything then? what is the point then?

i think maybe an ingame LFG page for Players helping Players would be nice though
(could be further separated for help with achievements, general explaining of mechanics, …)

Are you on EU or NA?

I also have a jp (made me already hit 1000 item limit -.-) in my GH and would love to try out yours and you can do mine too if you want^^

1) OP should change title to make it less confusing
(for example: “What if utility skills could replace elites?”)

2) i agree with OP … would be really nice to be able to use another utility skill on the elite skill slot
would create the possibility for some more builds actually since many utility skills are 100% needed on a class and you cannot not use them… but you would need 1 other utility skill to make a certain other build work

and yeh .. like psyckos.6893 just said… if builds suddenly become overpowered when you can replace elite skills with normal utility skill then Anet should think about reworking quite a few of the eliteskills to actually make them useful and worth being called “Elite”

If the only thing that makes them called “Elite” is the long cooldown… then it is time for a change xD

i think there is a cap for points that you can earn in hotjoin per day

not sure atm

edit:
guildwiki states:
“Custom Arena is capped at two major reward tiers per day to avoid botting⁵, thus requiring a minimum of four days to complete. The cap is reset every day at the daily reset time.”
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_Reward_Track

you can kite the vampire one around the steelpiece of the airship to always be able to deny his heal by going out of LoS

it has been explained so many times…

it is to keep the value of gold stable by taking out some gold and on the TP you also cannot get scammed

malachi.7503:

My suggestion would be stop designing absurdly hard things and trying to pass it off as fun.

my suggestion is not designing only ridiculously easy things and pass it off as fun…

it all depends on personal opinion dude
and without a bit of challenge everything gets boring fast in my opinion

there are many many easy jps you can do … dont try to make the 2-4 harder ones get cakewalk too

i guess 1 or 2 checkpoints would be ok maybe ….
… but definitly not more or it gets too easy if you can just fall down anywhere you want since you got a safety checkpoint anyway….
(LA one could get ~2 checkpoints)

Bristingr.5034:

Googled it, learned what it is. Guess now the question is, where is the spot to get to that location.

if you are on Europe i can show you

they should build a jp on that giant unused area to the north

now that we can reach it with gliding

a jp with multiple possible ways and a hard one so we really have something to do while in queue ^^

I think what Arenanet should do is:

introduce new rewards that can only be bought at the dungeon merchants for tokens

stuff like:
Endless Slaying Potions (1500 tokens?)
Endless Tonics (1500 tokens?)
Dungeon specific back item skins (1200 tokens?)
etc.

In the Wintersday jp the snowflakes fly too!
(and those are snowflakes big enough to stand on them)

I have 1 jp with pumpkins that goes all long rocks around the whole GH
And then i have this jp with flying snowpiles that just leads to the ceiling of the map

I think you should just do it … it offers just sooooo much more room for the jp if you use the air (see my pictures)

unfortunately i hit the 1000 decorations limit while building this “stairway to heaven” … had to remove as many pumpkins as i could to finish it …
i really really hope Anet increases the number of decorations that can be placed in the GH to 2000 if that is possible

the problem with giving advices is easy to avoid by just offering this spectate service with a 5 minute time delay for example

Wow the sigil of energy nerf is just making it 100% useless

this is no exaggeration !!!

most classes have high uptime vigor anyway so vigor is useless especially since its only 50% more endurance gain now

the sigil of energy dodge was crucial for builds like staff ele who switches elements (—>gets the extra dodge back) and then uses his dodge combos

this is just such a bad and totally unnecessary nerf

especially since ele will be much weaker after the removal of celestial
also other classes like hot spec thief or shatter mesmer need the energy sigil

and seeing clever use of dodge is one of the things that makes this game interesting
not just bunker builds with bunker stats or power creep without people dodging but just spamming and hoping the enemy dies first…

i have no idea who it was but i once read:

Submarinus

starts with “S”
fits to water

perfect name

i also have to disagree… sry :/

i like that there still is a a bit of light when it is stowed…
would much more seem like a bug to me that needs fix if it wasnt like that

i guess you have to swap to your other weaponset without a light effect weapon while walking with stowed weapon :P

Cynz.9437:

Or they could just do what they promised and not make elites completely superior to vanilla builds~ But per usual it was all a lie, just like promise to reset mmr at begin of the season.

yes
i’d much rather have HoT spec balanced to be en par with all old builds!

i want to see the old build diversity again and even bigger with HoT specs added!

it is just so ironic how
Anet brought more builds to the game
but in the end we have
less builds to play ! …

…because almost all old builds are not viable anymore and you are just hurting yourself when using them

so instead of getting +50% playable builds (from average 2 per class to 3 per class) we got -50% playable builds for PvP with HoT

Alekt.5803:

Top revival? Is it because you could not find good kills in the current meta?

pretty sure he means the revival of the TOP 5 Plays series

you can already survive it if you jump down carefully with enough falldowndmg reduction

wait … you thought you would see the frsotfang footsteps while you dont even have frostfang as your active weaponset?
since you cant be using frostfang while using GS because GS is obviously a 2-hand weapon…

the only thing that would make sense is being disappoitned about OFFHAND frostfang not showing footsteps while another legendary (like bolt) is equipped in your mainhand

but ofc unless you actually use frostfang you wont see the footsteps

Im sorry for you that it doesnt work as you hope but im pretty sure that you did not see this happen at other players
Next time just ask in map chat in any populated place like Heart of the Mists or LA
and i am sure there are players who can tell you exactly how it will be or even show you

but is there any chance that the number of items that can be placed will be increased?

in my Bank Guild hall i just hit the 1000 limit when working on a 600 piece stairway through the skies after already having done 2 jumping puzzles that lead all around the GH but i cant finish the last bit of the stairway to the bottom because of this limit
:/

just want to know if there is any chance this will be possible or if i have to completely rework everything and try to save any item that i can

Cecilia.5179:

deSade.9437:

… Dhuum? Please?
/puppy eyes

Why not just make the toon an enemy to all? Wouldn’t that be an interesting way to get banned?

that would be funny
but the banned play shouldnt be able to deal damage then ofc

just like the Silverwastes bugged Bandit buff …
it made you attackable for other players while you coulnt attack anyone yourself^^

“these delays”

there is just this ONE delay dude…
and it is there for a good reason (to prevent scam with stolen credit card/credit card info i think)

there also is NO delay on buying gems normally
it is just for the gems that are part of the HoT upgrade

who knows if owl is really gone?

the ingame owl shrine makes you think that owl is actually alive!

you can check it ingame or look up wiki description:
(http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shrine_to_Owl)
Quote:
“This shrine is dedicated to Owl, who was devoured by Jormag. Although Spirits have been missing before, Owl has been destroyed forever.”
—>Remember Owl’s sacrifice.
“What comes next is an assault on the senses. A flurry of feathers, a scream into the maw of oblivion, a creeping coldness. But one sensation towers over them all—hope.”

sounds like the spirit of the owl is still there just very weakened maybe so it cant show itsself fully?
then again in the sentence directly before that one it says “destroyed forever”….

they cant run around and go inside because your 2nd picture CLEARLY shows a completely different keep dude…

on another hand though
it is possible to glitch inside outer AND inner *
of both
*west AND east keep in the new WvW borderlands with druid jumps

needs fix

anduriell.6280:

Not for anything but isn’t that linecasting?
Doesn’t the ele do it all the time?
When Aney will fix the linecasting?

To fix this and any future spam linecasting i would make it so each player can blast any field once a second.
Problem solved

that no good solution as sometimes you want to to spam your available blast finishers in a legit way and this would prevent it or make you accidently waste your blast finishers…

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3wzc8t/important_changes_made_to_the_chat_code_format/

maybe this helps?

i notice that Maps load faster when i am in fullscreen
FPS is slightly better

i sometimes use it when doing fractals and dungeon tours where i have to zone in and out more often

yes
i dont understand why anet just doesnt make all stats available with these amuletts

Same for the Exotic Revenant Armor gear….
only 2 or 3 stats available !!!

that is just not acceptable… and i just dont understand WHY anet doesnt offer us more if not just all stats…

i made a topic on that 3 days ago with possible solutions
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/SnowflakeAura-not-possible-on-outfit-FIXED

But now it seems they also tried to put an orb with the same effect in the game but somehow they just replaced the Queen Bee Orb with the new Winter’s Presence Orb

So when that Queen kittenange is reverted we cna just hope that they still bring us an orb and an infusion with the same effect like the shoulderpiece

Having such auras and effects related to armorpieces is just a bad way of doing it
if you are forced to have no shoulderarmor visible (which just looks stupid on some armorsets) it is no good solution…

And not being able to use it on outfits make it even worse since there are 3 Wintersday related outfits where it would fit perfectly
Really surprised about this… anet pushes outfits so much and then doesnt even make it possible to use those Auras/Effects with the outfits :/

it is not removed

The Winter’s Presence IS the Queen Bee

Wiki for example now tells Queen Bee price is 849 gold which is exactly the price that is shown for Winter’s Presence ingame

Anet just screwed up something when trying to introduce an orb version of the Snowflake-Aura Shoulders i guess
