Graphics have nothing to do with this topic. People are just being insulting. :/
Wasn’t being insulting… as I was quite impressed with the graphics on your PC… and to quote myself, “But I could see why you want to hide them. Hope they add the option to mix and match / hide certain parts of costumes sooner rather than later.”
I was actually being sympathetic to your post. I agree that they need a way to hide the shoulder pieces, or to at the very least correct the scaling/attachment issues.
hello, i’ll start to the point, i was running eotm(overflow) as frostreach, my zerg was lead by someone nick named kimberly blabla, after she capped tytone she was asking for another tag to replace, because of no one tagged up i decided to tag up and lead my zerg to statuary then to eastern altar gate( i decided that because i see orange sword at BL keep, or let me say OG was there) and when my zerg was ramming the gate the OG zerg not finished their job at BL keep but they just run toward my zerg and wiped my zerg, and after that when i was about to continue my run from FR zone i got whispered by someone(maybe gw2 staff) he has name ‘Banbot’ he said that i was reported for doing a setuped match there…
my fact :
- im not in any voice chat
- my guild tag the time i represent was only me as a member( this is my private tag )
- im grouping with random FR dudes
- im not whispering anyone while im tagging up that time
thank you for that random dude who reported me,
i hope if that ‘Banbot’ guy is real staff and i’m not guilty the one that reported me should punished
sorry for the bad english
thank you

You have nothing to worry about. ANet would not contact you IN-GAME about anything. They can review all chat logs without ever getting into the game. So you were just being trolled. Just block them and continue killing zerglings in EOTM.
What are we working on right now? Feature Pack 2 (in ~two more weeks), Season 2 of the Living World (coming back this fall), the WvW Fall Tournament, and the World Tournament Series PvP global tournament are just some of the things we are currently working on that we can tell you about right now.
After the end of the tournaments, the game will be the same since it was released!
Players really want:
New Dungeons/Fractals
New Dungeon/Fractal Rewards
PvP modes/maps
Guild Halls (GvG)
New Legendaries
New Weapon and Armor skins (No RNG)
Precursor Crafting
Please, stop tournaments and living story, We want more permanent content!
We’ve spent years asking and you don’t listen us!
Thanks for reading and responding.
Why are you complaining… WvW has been waiting for this WvW Feature Pack for over a year and we get a Hue Change on Commander tags, a siege mastery line that wasn’t needed, and a freaking grenade. No QoL changes that we have needed forever. In the WvW CDI we talked about different color tags, visibility to guild only, enhanced squad commands, enhanced commander commands, etc.
The chance to get an ascended in WvW is horrible, Badges of Honor are hard to come by if you do not play in Edge of the Mist… Ascended and Exotic backpieces cannot be gotten in WvW. They have 1 guy working on WvW and that is only when he isn’t working on PvE crap. That is the WvW Team, 1 guy.
Here’s the problem for me. I attempted to use SweetFX on Guild Wars 2, and both game and laptop promptly freaked the kitten out. My game crashed completely and I couldn’t even uninstall/reinstall it. I had to reset my computer to a previous backup in order to even regain any semblance of control.
Needless to say, that was one heart attack I am not keen on trying again. And it makes me sad because I see all these awesome screenshots and stuff, and here I am with poor graphics on my only computer.
This is covered in several youtube videos about SweetFX and GW2. This can happen from improper installation / setup of SweetFX. Best of luck to ya. I just wanted to share my experiences with the program for others who may be able to use it.
When they make it easier for people on WALLS to hit Player on ground… Then we can talk. But at the moment Offense has more ability to control the players trying to defend from wall than the other way around. Whereas a defender should be more deadly from a wall as it gives them cover. Until that is fixed, I could care less about siege.
I seriously suggest you stand menacingly in the distance of a keep while people debate on whether they should approach your or not just for lol’s. Imagining the conversations they’d be having would be hilarious, “Holy f_ck, Diamond Legend for real? … Go poke it, I’ll pay you.”
If they’ve seen the screenshots posted in this thread, then there would be no debate.
I’d be more intimidated by Ultimate Dominator title…
Woot it does work in wvw! LOL gonna have fun buffing people with cakes XD also applies swiftness when eaten for a couple of seconds (unless you already have sugar rush)
Had a player shooting cakes, could not receive the buff… Sooo self only buff?
Nope just tried it it works on other people. Not if you already have sugar rush though. :/ Even the NPCs get the buff lol. Even minis!
Odd… As I wasn’t getting the buff from the cakes on the ground. I will have to test it again :/
Was this a chance to show off your high graphics and unicorn bow? Seriously, wish I had the $ to buy a rig to run my graphics that high lol. Also, sylvari are not “small” characters, but closer to human size.
But I could see why you want to hide them. Hope they add the option to mix and match / hide certain parts of costumes sooner rather than later.

I believe this could be an interesting community activity.
Lets create a fan fiction made Guild Wars 3.
How would it work?
Any new features?
Whats different from other Guild Wars games?
Anything Storywise?
Everyone has same base armor / health / stats / etc. Armor is completely visual. Weapons can be used by ALL races/classes. All professions have similar skill coefficients. All characters can melee or range, with similar skill types (knockbacks, blast finishers, combo fields, etc), completely based on player skill, not who is playing the most OP class atm. Each race/class has specials that they can perform (same coefficients as other classes special skills). Weapons grant different abilities to each race/class so combo’s can be created… Everything would be within equal power to others so no one skill/trait would be mandatory. Build diversity would be more readily accepted and players could “Play the way they wanted” without feeling inferior to other classes / races.
The different screenshots wouldnt be in the Documents/Screenshot folder. Mine ended up in the main GW2 folder just an FYI. Also, I would watch a video on YouTube on how to setup SweetFX for GW2. It must be in the main GW2 Folder, and make sure sweetfx is activated. In Graphics options FMAA must be DISABLED. Finally, when you load a configuration it must be Saved. To see the effects you must restart the game as it cannot be changed while in game.
I really hope this helps you out.
There is a slight difference in your screenshots. Look at the ground. What is your texture detail set at? Mine is on Medium and my difference is like night and day for me. Also, if you have Postprocessing OFF you will see the difference better. As it adds a lot of Light. Since it looks to me that you have Post Processing ON, you might be better off with a different SweetFX configuration.
I started playing with sweetFX last night and didnt really notice much of a change at all. Maybe I was doing something wrong. I’ll have to play with it some more.
SweetFX must be in the GW2 folder. Also, you have to restart the game before you notice the settings. Another thing, check the keys to turn it on and off. Once you load you can hit the button to see the difference…
Under save / load configuration, when you load selected preset and return to main screen. Be sure to Save New Config. I hope this helps. Once you get used to it, you can change the settings to make it look better.
In Game options – FXAA must be DISABLED.
SweetFX Takes the load for anti-aliasing from the CPU to the GPU. Hope that helps.
Thanks a lot for sharing! This is just what I was looking for.
I’ve only started playing this game about a little less than a month ago with my low end laptop and set all of my settings to the lowest (except for Character Model Limit and Quality as well as Resolution) just to have a decent enough FPS (at least 30) to play. Although I’m not the type of person who cares a lot about graphics in games, I still would prefer having better quality if it doesn’t really sacrifice speed or anything of the sort.
I’ve only tested the SweetFX for about an hour but so far so good! I haven’t had a noticeable dip on speed as far as I’m concerned and the graphics seem to be clearer than before. This will help my experience in Tyria a little better than it what it could’ve been.
Not all of us who play GW2 are running on gaming rigs and for those who are playing on low-end laptops such as myself, this might just be the solution.
Again, thanks for sharing!
No problem at all, I played for almost 2 years with minimum settings so it is a nice change.
LOL… Dodging is the damage mitigation. Toughness is not. When stealth grants thieves the ability to backstab players with over 3k armor for 10k damage, Dodge is the best form of mitigation, sorry.
My 3k armor warrior never received 10k backstabs. He did receive plenty of 10k damage eviscerates though. Which would translate to 15k damage on a 2k armor user.
Everytime I hear sic em! or I am lucky enough to step on a stealth trap and see the reveal debuff on my buff bar, my daggers cringe and all I can think about is…..
WHERE IS MY DPS?!
Ty devs for giving other classes the tool to laugh into my face cos my offence is gone and usually condis are melting me at the same time. But at least dagger aa will cleave xD
That would be in your #2 spot. Heartseekers for 6k are insane…
I’m not so much cutting down the changes, as the concept of calling them balance changes.
My main characters are a thief, a necro, and a ranger. I’ve got the others, but none of them have a full set of even exotic armor yet.
I did some experimenting the last few weeks by sending those 3 characters to 3 zones, and then rotating them after playing a while. (Zones Dry Top, Frostgorge, and Cursed Shore) So, I had apples-to-apples comparisons. (Previously I always wondered if it was just that the ranger was hitting easier foes … by chance … all the time.)
Anyhow, it because exceptionally clear that the ranger, who has the least-completed armor set, was far superior in every aspect of combat than either of the other two. The necro could hold his own against a small mob, but not if there was a vet included. The thief? 3 creatures, max. Anything more and he was in serious trouble. With the ranger, I was trying to aggro at least 6+ creatures so I could kill them faster. If the thief accidentally aggroes 6, he’s dead unless he can hide in shadows and run away.
The only real exception was in Dry Top. Against those dust mites, the ranger had some trouble. But, nothing else bothers her short of champs.
Well, and that chicken tornado thing, but that’s a whole ’nother story.
Green or yellow zerker gear on an 80 Thief, maybe throw in some Clerics gear if you want or knights, whatever… Signet that heals on hitting, shortbow 2, spam away and watch your health stay high as everything dies around you… Sorry im a noob at thief and even I find your comparisons severely flawed. Try different builds with your professions. You do not need exotics or ascended for open world stuff. You can solo champions on all professions.
All of you missed the point. The major defense of the Mesmer is to confuse the enemy. Ranger pets destroy that because they are never confused. All the Ranger needs to do is launch the pet in the right general direction.. and everyone in the area knows who is the real Mesmer. Kiss your defense goodbye.
I have a news flash for you… Check the feet of your target. Clones do not have the little glowing red ring around their feet like the real mesmer does. Pet or No Pet, we still know which one is you.
P.S. You also run around in circles, your clones… not so much, again giving away that it is you…
P.P.S. Kill the pet in like 3 hits and then kill the Ranger as 30% of his DPS is in the Pet thanks to ANet.
So it seems warr get the most nerfs again.
They are buffing necro with cleaving.. great..
No more Fiery greatsword it seems for dungeons :-P
Guardians get more buffs to lame spirit weapons (and to its support/offense… i dont get it because they are already master in support.. and there offense is great if they want to)
Mesmer will be more OP in duel.. still not viable in group
Ranger is Pew pew pewing all day long from range
And thiefs will be even more OP with p/d..
Warriors were Overbuffed in previous patches and they are trying to bring them in line with everyone else, so complain elsewhere about nerfs. When Warrior receives the whack-a-mole nerfing that elementalist received over a year ago, then you can complain. Also, still waiting for Ele to be able to get out of Arcane and Water attunements. Maybe one day they will remove the stupid CD reduction on Arcane and make it universal 9 second recharge. Then the class can become more than a bunker.
So let me get this straight. In an action combat game, in which dodging is designs as the main form of damage mitigation. You exploit stealth to circumvent that mechanic. Then cry when other players use channeling a skill, to circumvent a mechanic that you are using to circumvent one of the most integral and main universal game mechanic. Maybe it is just me, but this complain seems to me. to fall deep on the side of unreasonable hypocrisy (to put it politely) to me.
The reasoning is nice but you’re wrong at it’s start:
Dodging is not designed as the main form of damage mitigation. Actually it’s more designed to avoid a threat that can be either damage or crowd control. If you want a damage mitigation dedicated system you have toughness and the protection boon wich are the main form of damage mitigation since they are 100% dedicated to it.
That said when i use stealth i want to buy time and to take the hand and decide when the fight is gonna continue. Note that I still can take damages and crowd control during the stealth so im not trying to circumvent the dodge mechanic.
So they know where you are? Welcome to what every other profession without stealth has to deal with 24/7!
Yes and i’m happy that you go in my way since every other profession without stealth do have (not all of what i’m gonna mention but some of it) aegis/protection/higher toughness/higher hp/better sustain/invulnerability/better-more crowd control/stability/better condition clearing/block/better-more stun break and i think i forgot some.
really if i’m with a bunker ele right in the middle of the fight i absolutely don’t care if the ennemy see me or not that’s 100% not my problem and pretty much every other profession can say the same (maybe not ranger ok)
Furthermore, skills that are being channeled against you can be nullified by simply moving beyond the angle of view of the attacking character, which cancels their channeling.
Yes but you can’t allways move beyond this point it depend on a lot of factor (is the caster far from you? do the terrain allow you to do this? do you have enough time to do this or is it better to choose another option? how many cooldowns do you have actually? are you even aware of where is the caster when you take your first damages?).
Actually on one hand you have someone that press one button and do damages and don’t have to bother about anything and on the other hand you have someone that have to mind about it
Your arguments have no basis other than “Urgh I’m sick of people being able to kill me! QQ why does the most powerful and abusable ability in the game have to have counter-play?! QQ”.
In almost every post you make you take 50% of your time being arogant and denigrate people. I’m sorry but actually you are the one looking more like a 12yo kid.
I spend my time proving my point of view with facts while you where searching what profession i was maining
Its been around since the start, those who want to see stealth buffed claim its a bug and should be fixed. Those who dont want to see stealth buffed claim its a feature.
This is not about what makes sense or what is logical. Afterall this is a videogame, people conjure magical stuff. Planting a banner into the ground counts as a blastfinisher, but a steel-packed keg of explosive powder does not. People become tornado’s from drinking a potion, and these tornado’s are vulnerable to physical damage.
Dont look for logical sense, its not an excuse because most of the game doesnt make sense.
So we end up with one way to view such mechanics, and thats balance. Currently Stealth is already incredibly powerful, and absolutely in no need of getting buffed. arenanet seems to agree with this stance as they are infact introducing more counter-mechanics against stealth. So removing existing ones makes no sense then.
I don’t want stealth to be buffed i consider it’s a fix. On the other hand i have no problem with the new revealing skills that are added to the other professions since i consider it as a real counter-play.
LOL… Dodging is the damage mitigation. Toughness is not. When stealth grants thieves the ability to backstab players with over 3k armor for 10k damage, Dodge is the best form of mitigation, sorry.
i think its fine as it is tbh, stealth is probably the best defensive system in this game besides invulnerabilitys, but these r rly rly short duration with a rly long cd so ignore em
and the counterplay with channeled skills is fine, actually its not rly that much of a counterplay, for example gs1mesmer, or scepter air 1 on ele does dmg in stealth if casted before stealth, but it doesnt show the one using it where the thief is unless u got fire sigil, its invicible for the user, only the one in stealth knows that he is getting hit
ofc there are skills like unload as well, or the pistol phantasm, exactly these 2 r real neat counterplays to stealth, it shows exactly where the enemy is and where he is going
ops, forgot ranger lbow2 and war rifle (the channeled skill wich is similar to rangers rapid fire), these work as well
Let’s make it clear:
What’s the point of stealth?:
-Nobody can see you and we can only guess where you are
-You can’t be targeted
When you cast a targeting channeled spell before the stealth user go into stealth what happen?:
-Nobody can see you but everyone know exactly where you are
-You can’t be targeted but are still targeted by the hability
Why is it wrong?:
-It simply break stealth.
About counterplay: you make a counterplay when there is some mindgame. Here it’s not question of mindgame, AI allways follow you when you are in stealth simply because you are targeted by it that’s just a broken mechanic.
Stealth also has the least counterplay options… You cannot rip stealth like a boon, you lose target, stealth can heal and remove conditions every 4 seconds, stealth provides thieves with extremely strong attacks (backstab / unload bleed stacks), stealth can be spammed. Channeled abilities have a longer cooldown than your stealth spam, Rapid Fire is getting a channeled duration reduction so this will be a burst skill and less following while stealthed. If you want channeled skills to stop hitting you, stealth and shadowstep away.
Also, AI does not follow you in stealth. Pets lose target until you are revealed or unstealth. This is same for clones. Only ai with channeled attacks continue to hit for duration of the cast. That is all.
to be honest, just try different professions. All of them cost about the same to gear and now with the Megaserver, it does not matter what server you are on. Also with the megaserver, it is easier to find people to “Map” with. As the new trait system requires players to do certain events and map the zones to get access to traits. If you feel yourself getting burnt out, just stop mapping or grinding and try something different. sPvP (Skill PvP) now allows for players to gain Tomes of Knowledges, which grants levels per tome. So if you prefer to pvp, that may be a good way for you to level. It also can provide you with gear through Dungeon tracks in PvP. Hope this helps in some way/shape/form!
Hey everyone, I am a Laptop user and I have been running this game on Low Details, 0 shadows, etc since this game has come out. However, thanks to SweetFX, I can now appreciate some detail in the game without sacrificing my FPS!
I will be showing some screenshots with all settings on Low / off except for Texture details, it is set to Medium.
I am using SweetFX Guild Wars 2 Dragons Reborn Settings. There are plenty of others, but I like this one because it brightens the game and also makes the textures look decent, all without hurting my FPS at all. Not even a 1 point drop! That’s impressive. Hope this helps some people out there!
A brand new trap is too much to fathom.
I can’t stop thinking of all the ways it can be used and how this will make
WvW a fresh and new experience.
And on top of that there is the new Golem Mastery line.
Add to that the most wanted by the WvW players addition of more gold sinks.
We make so much gold in WvW we don’t know what to do with it.
It’s mind blowing.
You need to stop producing so many awesome features so fast.
GW2.
Best RvR game ever.
But wait!!! There’s More! 1 Year long wait for a couple of HUE changes to a Commander Icon! So now that Gold Sink comes in Rainbow choices! Fear the skills of the Amazing Hue changing team.
I really hope that golem mastery, commander tags, and new traps are not all we see… There has been silence for over a year now on “stuff” that was being worked on by the “wvw team”. The new commander tags could literally have been done in less than an hour. Heck 2 if you include making it account bound. What do you all think, as they say this is a WvW / sPvP Feature pack… if these 3 changes are all we see, will you also be upset?
Really disappointed… A WHOLE YEAR and we get NOTHING of Use. Pathetic. They do not care about WvW, it is official. I feel sorry for Devon Carver, as the solo worker on the WvW “Team”, I am sure they have made him work on Living Story BS for the past year instead of the WvW stuff. Hint why he took a year to throw an icon into paint/photoshop and change the hue. Congratulations ANet on a “years worth of work” being summed up in 3 lines.
1) Colored Tags
2) Siege Golem Mastery
3) New Trap/Trick
So can I get a years pay for doing something that can be done in possibly less than a week?
I’m going off of what has been posted by devs, what has been told to mmorpg.com and several other sites with same information, supposedly directly from developers. Including Guardian spirit weapon buff. But I guess wait and see it is… Please ANet, let me be wrong. If it took a year and 3 months for colored tags, we need to talk.
If I could find an MMORPG without requiring it to act like a FULL TIME Job to get anywhere (hint why I like GW2), decent combat mechanics, and a community I could get involved with… That would be awesome. Until that comes along, I will stay here, no matter how unhappy I am with GW2, it is an MMO that I can log in, kill people, collect my 20 grey spikes, and log out without paying for anything unless I want to.
After reading the news about the new exclusive PVP armors, I cannot stop myself from wishing for a similar PVE counterpart. As it is now, the only prestige armor set in game, will be available for the 10-20 people that happen to win elite tournaments….
While I agree that top PVP players should get a special reward for their effords, I strongly believe that there should be a correspondant set for the people that prefer PVE.
I wish Anet would introduce an equally prestegius armor set, that could be craftable through PVE rewards and activities. I wouldn’t even mind paying 100 pristine relics per piece.
Before people start complaining that everything in PVE is easy so nothing will ever be prestigious: we have been lacking any kind of hard to obtain armor set, so now is the time to give us one of those. I am sure plenty of people will enjoy working towards one of those.
Here is one for you… EVERY SINGLE BACKPIECE… Ascended included. No ascended or exotic backpiece is available from WvW. Why should I be required to PvE to get a backpiece for my character.
I really hope that golem mastery, commander tags, and new traps are not all we see… There has been silence for over a year now on “stuff” that was being worked on by the “wvw team”. The new commander tags could literally have been done in less than an hour. Heck 2 if you include making it account bound. What do you all think, as they say this is a WvW / sPvP Feature pack… if these 3 changes are all we see, will you also be upset?
I have to go with that’s snarky denial. The fact of the matter is that Mesmer is way underpowered and ANET has loved on Warrior yet again.
Underpowered??? Mesmers can instantly drop 20k life in 1 attack… That is not underpowered. Maybe you are doing something wrong. Oh and the 20k life is on a 3k armor character. So… yea.
Well i don’t want to start a debate of EoTM <> WvW . . . . if you think this is not the place to post this let me know i will change.
I tough it was really funny . . .
No harm intended… More a stab at the game than at you. EoTM was supposed to help answer a problem for WvW, but instead became bigger karma train than the Queensdale/Frostgorge trains.
There is going to be something for WvW for once… They were taking videos from players to make a WvW Feature Trailer, so I am crossing my fingers and hoping the Living Story break will come with a WvW/Balance Patch (Beginning of September). If I remember correctly, they wanted to tie WvW in with the new Living Story this time. So maybe the Mists will be involved in feeding the Dragon somehow… Who knows… Lol.
There is a ritual that I undergo almost daily now. My little innocent Asura Necromancer enters WvW with the intent of lending a hand to the good people of my server. Upon entering a map I begin to make my way over to the blue dorito. Then it happens. A dark cloud suddenly builds overhead. Lightning flashes. A hideous fiend suddenly appears out of nowhere. His eyes are red, blood drips from his fangs and daggers. I want to run, but it’s too late for me. My little Asura is torn to shreds, struck down by an evil Thief yet again.
I’m bad at the game. I’ll always be bad at the game, but I can still have fun. I have slow reflexes. Even if I know I should be taking action, I just…can’t…do…it…fast…enough. This will always be the case. I used to always avoid WvW but lately I’ve been running around in it quite a bit (mostly on a Necromancer) and I’ve managed to figure out how to survive fairly well amongst the comfort of a large zerg. But when I find myself alone…there’s always a Thief ready to step out of the shadows and strike me down.
1. Is there a way for a bad player like me (on my Necro) to at least be really annoying for them to kill? I know I’m going to lose regardless, but if I can at least take some of their sanity with me, then small victories!
2. When I find myself in small fights such as 3 v 3 or something, I don’t know what to do against Thieves. If they take any kind of moderate damage, they immediately vanish only to reappear with full health and renewed bloodlust. I’ve seen whole swarms of players chase after a single Thief for long distances. They move fast, they are nearly perma-invisible, and they strike soooo quickly and then poof, gone.
To be completely honest with you, necro and thieves access to stability is in the Elites. So Fear… Fear… Fear… Just annoy them with fears. Everytime they go to stealth, try to fear in some way. Fear them out of their Shadows Refuge (Big circle with floating house stealth patch), Black Powder from pistol 5? Spectral Grasp them and pull them away or fear. The only way they can stealth then is Cloak and Daggering any of the numerous mobs, npcs, or even pets to then backstab your poor Asura for 8 – 12k damage.
Axe offhand is getting a pretty big buff though, but cleansing ire needed tweaking anyway, so more of a fix than a nerf.
Really? can you tell me what the buff is? xD, and yeah, even though I LOVE cleansing ire, it did need some work. I guess I was a bit spoiled.
Axe 5 is getting 17% damage increase ( I believe thats the number) and I think a CD reduction, not 100% sure of the CD change, but I do know the damage was increased quite significantly.
Ah nvm then I realized I use axe mainhand
In that case, Sword 4 is getting a nerf. They didn’t mean to give warriors Permanent Torment. Axe 5 is now 17% more damage and 15 second cooldown I believe was the change.
Run virus scan, change password to both email then game (different passwords) then setup some type of authentication. Also contacting support is a good idea.
Pretty much this… Players will /laugh in everything from a 1v1 to a 10v1. They think because they stomped / killed a player that they are “better”. 90% of the time they are not actually better, but have help or more gold to buy better runes / food.
A great example of this, Melandru runes / Strength Runes / Any Expensive foods like -40% condition foods.
Another thing is TIME to play. Those who have more time can aquire BIS (Best in Slot) gear. Such as Ascended and/or Legendaries.
Finally, some players they stomp / kill are still learning the classes they are playing. For some reason there are a lot of underage (under 18) players in this game.
Sometimes you will get lucky and run into those players that fight you in a great 1v1 or 1vX and /bow or /salute to show they enjoyed your efforts.
Finally, it is an attempt to “Pis* you off…” and make you “rage quit” and/or QQ
You have to love the sheer audacity of this- fail to give any updates or information, or fix any of numerous bugs, close down the thread about the new necro infraction rules as they don’t want people dragging up all the previous stuff that hasn’t been dealt with, and then come along and ask for videos to show the world what a wonderful thing wvw is.
The only excuse for this I can think of is that one part of Anet has no idea what is happening in the other, although no doubt Krall will be able to explain that it is all our fault and this is proof there are people working on wvw…
Maybe this is a sign… Maybe they want an EPIC WvW Video to release all the stuff the WvW Team has been working on for over a year now? We can only hope…
I was thinking about adding NON MANDATORY SUBSCRIPTION to gw2 so I want to say that entire gw2 stay completly the same as it is now , but there would be something like gemstore sub which will give you some bonuses (no-combat bonuses)
Few quick ideas
-first requires rebuilding Black Lion chests, so they become account-bound and they drop rate is a bit reduced. Every blc has time to open (7 days since drop) . People with sub can open unlimited ammount of blc without using keys
- gem store loyalty points so lets say that every month subscriber gets 1000 points ,these points can be used to
————-reduce time-gated content(for example crafting ascended mats, you can craft only one every 24h but using 100 points you can disable this gate so you can craft 2 [after 2nd craft gate appears again] so you have to use same amount of gold but you dont have to wait.
————same dungs you can get only once a day account-bound chest but using tokens you can replay same path 2nd time and get full loot
————- for example for 1500 tokens player can start his own pvp arena
————— tokens can be converted to influence or guild merits
—————-and many other
- and maybe account mf 25% boost , karma 10% boost, gold find 5% boost
-and black lion trading company symbol next to the gold star for map comp just to show off
I think that sub like this will help this game becasue we all know that $$$$=content and it doesnt affect gameplay combat but it can bring much more content like dung,new pvp arenas etc
You want to pay a sub fee? Buy $15 of gems a month, there you go, got your subscription.
