Guild Wars 2

I honestly don’t think there should be any compensation. Every new system should have to be retroactive with the old for various reasons.

What about the people who bought multiple Abyss/Celestial dyes.

What about the people who destroyed armor skins.

What about the people who have 500+ glory boosters

What about the people who spent tons of gold/$$$ on server transfers.

You can’t waste time trying to compensate for everything that happened in the past because its “fair” cause you will never reach “fair”. Someone will always get the short end of the stick.

DarcShriek.5829:

ummm… I’m not sure if some of you realize this, but the OP makes it clear that Scarlet’s goal was always the dragon. She also refers to him as Tyria’s new master. This is a strong indication she wants to wake him, not kill him. Any theory that states she wants to wake the dragon before killing it is just bone headed. Seriously, would you alert your target to the fact your trying to kill it? Regarding the statement that you will either fall to Mordy or fall to Nightmare – How? Especially when you consider only a minority have fallen to nightmare and only one has fallen to Mordy, how do you come to this conclusion?

Also, Mordy wasn’t content, he was asleep. He was asleep because he wasn’t given enough magic. It wasn’t until he receive the jolt in magic that he woke up. Your theory runs opposite of the facts.

So Malyck is a servant of Mordy? You say he has a dream that makes him a servant of Mordy? Really, got a link to evidence?

How many people are denying that the dragon wasn’t involved in Scarlets plans? We know two hard facts about Scarlet, she intentionally woke the dragon and she wanted to be “free”. How does she get free? She kills what is binding her, the dragon. Not sure if you noticed but the dragons are invulnerable while they are dormant.

I said the thing about Sylvari either being harbinger of Mordemoth (non-Grove Sylvari) or Sylvari susceptible to the Nightmare (Grove Sylvari). Only Grove Sylvari are susceptible to the Nightmare, made evident by Malyck, a Sylvari from another tree who is seemingly immune to the Nightmare and has no concept of the Dream. A leap but I believe the Grove Sylvari experience the Dream because they are sort of “empty slates” without the influence of Mordemoth. Ventari filled that void so they inherit Ventari’s teaching via the Dream instead or they go feral – the Nightmare.

Scarlet saw that the Nightmare Court eventually wins the struggle between the Dream and Nightmare (remember that this only pertains to Sylvari from the Grove), Sylvari not from the Grove still fulfilled their original purpose – harbingers of Mordermoth.

Also Malyck never experienced the Dream since he is not from the Grove. There is no Dream for Sylvari outside of the Grove, this is no reason for it.

I think the Sylvari were intended to be dragon minions, at least harbingers of Mordemoth. “True” Sylvari being far more superior and kitten than their Grove counterparts. They also are aware of the true nature of the dragons, who are not malevolent creatures but “necessary” parts of nature (like Galactus of the Marvel universe) and there are ways for the dragons to do their job without slaying everything.

The Pale Tree (Grove) is not unique and its seed was guarded before it was taken by Ronan, its just different because it was allowed to grow outside the influence of Mordremoth.

Normally Sylvari experience a Dream that makes them agents of Mordemoth but the Sylari we know in the game are separated from that Dream. The Nightmare is a corruption leftover from the Sylvari’s intended nature. Its the result of Sylvari being able to tap into an incomplete form of their intended nature but they have no idea what it means or what to do with it so they end up being lunatics. Feral Sylvari in a sense.

Malyck is immune to the Nightmare because its a phenomena unique to the the Pale Tree (Grove).

What Scarlet saw when she went into the machine was the true nature of the Sylvari, agents of Mordemoth. Through Sylvari (ones connected to Mordemoth) they go out into the world and get the other races to somehow bring magic to Mordemoth (various ways to do this, be creative). Mordemoth who had an ample supply of magic flowing directly into its mouth was content with not having his minions tare across Tyria looking for magic to consume. Why waste energy when what you want comes to you?

Scarlet saw that as a Sylvari you’re either with Mordemoth or your “brood” eventually falls to the Nightmare. Scarlet reestablished a connection with Mordemoth in the Eternal Alchemy but because of her “tainted” nature as a Grove Sylvari she was confused and it drove her insane. She did not accept her true purpose and thus wanted to cut Mordermoth off from its life force because she thought that that would “free” the Sylvari. The army she assembled was to kill Mordemoth after would rise to look for another source of magic, probably at the LA leyline junction.

The new masters that Scarlet was referring to were either her army or the Sylari in general (sans the Grove Sylvari because they are basically naive children compared to the ones that were connected to Mordemoth).

What happens next? Mordemoth is going to go a rampage like Zhaitan did. Either Mordemoth knows there is more magic in LA and marches there with his Sylvari crew or he goes around Tyria looking for a new source of magic with its Sylvari Harbingers in tow.

TLDR: The Sylvari (non-Grove) are harbingers of Mordemoth. Scarlet didn’t like that and tried to starve Mordemoth so that she could kill him and “free” the Sylvari. What she did was really really kitten off Mordemoth and now it and its Sylvari army are going to march on Tyria to find a new source of magic.

…I’ve killed the holo everyday since its release…I think people are too used to running WBT.

The knights really aren’t hard at all. People need to split up the zerg, dodge the huge AOE, and pay attention to what phase the knights are in. Its that simply.

I prefer the “new” knights. Didn’t make much sense having a giant zerg killing one at a time and they died way too fast.

Eivene.9127:

This would have us believe we’re going to take back Lion’s Arch

I interpret that as what we go into LA to do but not what ends up happening (or not as cleanly as people are predicting).

We took back Kessix and look at the mess there. There is a giant drill over the harbor and airships all over. Scarlets army is pumping poison into the city, and she is about to uncover a leyline. Leylines are magic, magic that is potentially very volatile, also dragons feed off of magic. That leaves two theories, LA blows up or Scarlet attracts a dragon.

Gulesave.5073:

I would much rather see profession-specific equipment. Also, a set that changes with the wearer’s personality.

That would result in a generic set (well less than detailed) of armor though. On a technical level the culture pieces are some of the best in the game because they are specifically tailored for their respective race. Profession armors on the same caliber as the cultural armors would require mean (Number of professions)(number of races)2 [If Charr female and Asura female get their own models as well]. Its the same reason why they release more weapon skins than armor skins, designing armor is time very very time consuming compared the other content they put out.

They could release profession armors, they just wouldn’t be as elaborate as cultural armors.

Considering the work needed for a fractal backpiece with limited stat options – I find the price quite reasonable.

I like the armors. They don’t fit into any of the looks I want, but I like them.

My only complaint is that they appear too “prestigious” for armors that you can just buy off they gem store. They give the wearer too much of a divine aura – like they are looking down on their subjects behind their blue mask (especially the Asura).

Focus fire is a bad thing now?

I’ve been getting it too, its pretty ridiculous.

There are a lot of different types of food and they are all fair game.

7. Elementalist – Don’t really have strong feelings about Elementalists any more. They used to be the gods of WvW a year ago but now they’re just average. Maybe they’re a good model to follow for other classes. Their moves are well-telegraphed, their builds make trade-offs. For every bit of offense they take they give up a tangible amount of defense. They can contribute to zergs and small scale fights, without carrying either. The only build I feel that breaks this otherwise balanced class is the combination of tanky builds with Conjured Weapons. The amount of pressure and sustain that can be combined in such a way is outside of the standard balance spectrum.

Seems like you don’t know much about Staff Eles.

Static fields, Meteor range bombs, Tornado (highly underrated), water fields, etc. They are just a huge bag of tricks.

Not a bad idea but it’s not hard to bind a key to AOE loot and just hit it when yellow numbers pop up on your screen. You don’t have to stop running/fighting/whatever, loot is just magically placed in your bags. It has like a 600-900 range. I’ve gotten used to just hitting my AOE loot key whenyellow pops up that it’s become second nature. Now the system before AOE loot was hell.

The reason why I love thieves is all of these suggestions are pretty viable. I go 0/30/0/25/15 and use s/d,s/p,p/p with my shortbow always on standby. Don’t neglect your blinds, we can spam blinds and spread them quickly and they really help on tough pulls. I pretty much always slot SR when I’m running with a group even if only to save downed teammates.

My gear set up is a mix of zerker, valk, ands knights. I never liked going full zerker as a thief plus you can get away with the mix in WvW

Bookah please.

I’m tired of being discriminated against for being short. Do you see the tiny swords the vendors try to sell Asura?

S/P was never broke for general PVE. It’s not like you had to worry about the mob evading you.

Shouldn’t make it undyeable though.

Recently I purchased the Mad King costume from the gem store. An account bound and dyeable set. One the same day I discovered that you could transmute you default your default towns clothing (soulbound) with gear that you bought from the gem store. Hindsight tells me that transmuting an account bound item with a soulbound item is a bad idea because the account bound item becomes soul bound.

So I transmuted my town clothing chest piece with my Mad King chest piece because I needed inventory space and no longer wanted the default piece. Because of the very vague tooltips (they are almost identical) for both items, there was nothing told me that my Mad King chest piece would suddenly become soulbound to one character. Not only that, through some bug I am no longer able to dye my Mad King chest piece. Without buy another Mad King set, there is no system in place to reverse this error.

When purchases items are bought with real money (gem store items), there should be some sort of customer protection so that we can’t completely destroy the intended functionality of our purchases. I bought the set to customize the characters on my account, not I can’t share the item with my characters not can I customize it. Its pretty much ruined in my case because I can’t use it they way I intended to.

If a player destroys a gem store item by mistake, there is no way of getting it back. It other modern mmo’s premium items are usually protected in some fashion so that you can screw yourself over because of some sort of bug or unknown mechanic.

To be quite honest, I am not put off from buying gems knowing that a simple mistake could mean money down a drain.

Is it me or can ET simply not hold their own? How high would they be without their alliances with other servers? It makes you wonder if this is actually how they got to the top and how false their ranking actually is

Lol? Do you seriously think that IoJ is that good that we have to double team you? Sorry to burst your bubble, but that’s what every single server thinks. I’m from CD and i’ve been observing IoJ and ET double-teaming us all day long.

There is a huge difference between the double teaming you’re talking about and collusion, which is what other people are talking about. The poster wasn’t saying the ET and CD are colluding.

There is a certain guild (could be more) on ET that is known to collude with other servers. The most guilds of IoJ and CD are against collusion, so its interesting to see how this match will turn out.
