Guild Wars 2

I created a norn at the weekend, ankitten ow level 35 in HaRath. Where is the issue for.you we will help you.

I reckon a sale then Hot will include one free

They just announced an expansion. You’re safe

I recently tried necro for the first time, got to level 65 and decided it’s not really for me. Something about them feels off, nowhere near as fun for me as Ranger or Guardian which are the other classes I play.

I’m very happy with the way grind is approached in this game. It’s there if I want to get my teeth into a long term goal, and I’m not really losing out if I don’t feel like it. This game is pretty much everything I’ve wanted in an MMO and is also one of my favourite games of all time. They nailed this and created a superb gameworld with great balance. If you don’t enjoy grinding, you don’t have to.

Great event, do it again please Anet.

I finished my Mawdrey earlier in the month, and I’m pretty satisfied with the experience. It was expensive and somewhat confusing, but I had fun with the scavenger hunt, it cleared a lot of items out of my inventory, and it gave me some incentive to get my tailoring up to 500. I don’t expect to get much value out of Bloodstone conversion, but I don’t feel like I have to keep ALL of my dust anymore, either. Plus, it’s my first Ascended back item. The whole process gave me a goal, like Ascended Crafting or (in theory) making a Legendary, and it was a fun experience for me.

Whether it’s worthwhile depends on what you like doing, and what you want. If you just want an Ascended back item, you can certainly find less complex options, whether you go with Fractals or the Grenth/Dwayna/Lyssa back pieces. Not sure if they’re cheaper than Mawdrey or not, given how involved Mawdrey is to craft, but they’re definitely simpler.

I would not count on Mawdrey II ever providing a meaningful return on investment. I think it’s kinda fun to feed it Bloodstone Dust, and there are some interesting items on its reward table, but it’s definitely a bonus toy, not the main attraction. If the rewards are what you want, save the gold and just buy what you want.

Can you even obtain the recipes for the grenth/lyssa/dwayna backpieces now?

Haha post it here, for the laugh

I’m 38, will play until I cant function enough to play anymore, hopefully GW5 will be out by then though

Greed fails Very pleased to see those gold hoarders can’t over price their pre’s anymore. $3-400 worth of gems for a weapon? Jesus

Those leaked revenue forecasts predicted a bump in Q3, I reckon it will release near the end of Q2

Ayrilana.1396:

The prices were realistic.

What kittening planet do you live on?

Yamsandjams.3267:

Oh yes, those prices are really plummeting. Now it’ll only take you $400 worth of gem-gold conversion to get one instead of $500!

People are still being greedy and hoping to sell them. They will cost next to nothing in the coming weeks, anyone would be stupid to buy a precursor/legendary right now.

Its for open world content and PvP only

Question is, will they leave LS now until the expansion?

The one thing that doesn’t make sense to me, is they haven’t said anything about what they are doing for the game as it stands, between now and the expansion. Giving info like new legendaries, mastery, sub-classes etc kind of takes the steam out of what we already have.

About time these over-inflated prices became realistic. As has been mentioned, I reckon most of those precursors wont even sell now, because people will save stuff for the new ones. I’m really glad this is the case, should also be great fun doing quests and tasks to make a precursor when HoT drops.

A year ago I would have been super excited and willing to give Anet more of my money.

Now…not so much. They need the new blood it seems.

You’re still on the forum though, so you must have some interest in the game

The sale starts at 4PM GMT tomorrow, and the Announcement is at 4:30PM. I would bet my bottom dollar that they are going to announce an expansion that will be available through the gem store only, so they are going to sell bucketloads of the base game cheap and then capitalise by making the expansion a single source purchase. This would be a pretty ‘new framework’ for an expansion.

This is brilliant. Perhaps the amount of images would be a problem for bandwidth, with about more information being handled but I don’t know much about that just seen it mentioned in other games. Your work is stellar mate, this looks such an improvement over the current system. Hope you get some developer feedback

Thanks for tips guys. I basically screwed myself. I built this around wvw/pve and all my ascended gear has soldiers stats and I can’t face making all that again. I kinda wish they had a bit more flexibility with the gear and changing stats. Oh well, I’ll have to deal with a crap build or make a new class I guess. Thanks for help guys!

Anyone doubting the release of an expansion for this game needs to check in with reality. GW had more than one expansion and they all sold very well. GW 2 has sold a lot of copies, and is doing very well. Both games are made primarily to make money. An expansion would sell very well and make lots of money. Why anyone doubts there will be one is beyond me, I know this is the Internet where people speculate about crazy stuff, but this is natural progression and business sense, not rocket science.

Thanks for link but I don’t want a cookie cutter zerk build I am using soldiers stats so wondered if there is anything essential im missing.

Hi I’ve been playing a long time but had a few months break, not sure of what has been changed now. I use soldiers stats, and not sure whether to go LB or SB for most damage at range? I have a build of 6/6/0/2/0

Secondary weapons are Sword/Dagger

Are there any must have traits etc for this build? Any suggestions please

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

All the new Journal content will be expressly for Level 80. !

Have they confirmed this?

They need to bring in more varied loot and more ways to find it, other than that I think the end game is fine, I hit 80 weeks ago and still enjoy logging in as much as ever

Hi, I’ve put in nearly 500 hours in the last 3 months with this game and never had any trouble, and now all of a sudden I can’t play it. Whenever I try to launch the game it gets stuck at the initial loading screen and then after a while it says

Connection error(s) detected: Retrying

Nothing has changed with my set up and all my other games work fine as usual.

Any ideas guys?

Gems are far too expensive if you use in game gold. This is mainly due to people flipping the TP. A guy in my guild last night bought a legendary bow and then sold it for an extra 150gold in less than 5 minutes. This kind of thing is why prices are so ridiculous imo

I think they will, far too many story quests refer to lions arch and when I did the second half of my personal story it seemed stupid telling me to go somewhere that no longer exists.

If they don’t rebuild it some of their storylines wont make any sense to new players, looking for where Lions Arch is and instead being sent somewhere nearby.

Has anyone seen a guide for the jumping puzzles in LA since it was destroyed, I cant find them and the only guides ive been able to find were all from ages ago

How will this impact performance for those of us with lower tier PC’s? For those people this could actually make things less playable? I’m sure this has been considered but wanted to find out, it’s worrying that performance will drop from overcrowding?

I really feel for the devs of this game, no matter what they do and how many improvements they make, there is ALWAYS someone who finds something to complain about.

Sadly, I unintalled GW2 this weekend. Im spent on it. Things like the wardrobe I posted in the suggestions forum a month after release. Here we are 1.5 years later, and its finally coming. No Scav hunt. Still a focus on LS and zerg content. No love for dungeons(what happened to revamping the bosses in dungeons…just did AC and forgot about it? Oh, right, the living story).

No, Im done. After playing Wildstar the past two weekends and with the awsome updates to Diablo 3/expansion, I have more than enough to fill my time than waiting around 6 months, 9 months, year, 1.5 years for arenanet to breathe life into this game.

Big hype, huge letdown. This game could have been so much more if it focused on exploration, real world changes when run of the mill dynamic events succeed or fail, etc.

And yet here you are, in the forums of the game you dislike so much, putting a dampener on a positive post. Why man, why?

Hi guys, this issue I have popped up this morning for the first time. I have played 300 hours or so in the last 50 days, without ever seeing this.

I started the game and it said last time I played the client encountered an issue, and that I would need to verify the archive. I did this, and played the game. I then logged out, came back to play it again, and the same message popped up again.

This time I pressed no, and the game started as normal and now doesn’t prompt the same message when I restart the client. Is this something to be concerned about?

Really you need to wait until it’s implemented before calling it a failure. You haven’t even played the game with these additions yet man!!!

Where are you even getting this information? I thought they released Trait info and that was it for now? Is the another announcement that isn’t posted here yet?
If not, stop worrying about something you don’t know will happen maybe?

They’re releasing more news bit by bit. Keep an eye here. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/feature-packs/

ah great thanks for the link

PVP 4ever
/15 char

The top one looks awesome man! Could you please tell me where the mask is from/ what its called? That is exactly the type of thing im looking for.

Lishtenbird.2814:

I would appreciate the number of required kills to be lowered.

where’s the achievement in that?

I like them the way they are too.

If they were changed to the way you want them, some of the more hardcore players would be disappointed that they don’t have to go ‘out of their way’ for the dailies. What makes your way right and the other ways wrong?

The fact is achievements are optional, if you want them, go and get them, why should they just be given to you? You cant assume that everyone plays the same way you do, so what comes naturally to you may make someone else have to change their playstyle to achieve.

Anker® 8200 DPI High Precision Programmable Laser Gaming Mouse for PC, 9 Programmable Buttons, Weight Tuning Cartridges

this is perfect and very cheap compared to many of the others, and in reviews it performs just as well in most cases. 9 buttons is enough for gw2, you don’t really need 20 imo, but then that’s just me.

I think they are fine, could be a LOT worse

This is a very skill based game. If you or your server lack the skill or co-operation to obtain specific achievements then you don’t deserve them. It’s as simple as that.

This is easily overcome by waiting a couple of minutes until all the rushers are in, and you end up together, or doing what KTA said. I’m not sure why it bothers you if you have given up playing anyway, it seems like more than half the people on these forums don’t play the game anymore and just come here to complain.

It seems to me the reason this bugs you so much is because you cant accept it for how it is and work with it. It isn’t what you wanted, you stopped playing, it could have ended there.

Always assume it is going away. Finish everything within the 2 week period and spend your currency on the last day. That way you will never be disappointed. If it stays then you can farm some more if you need it, if it doesn’t then you won.

Says it all really

Far from bored, this game doesn’t cease to amaze me. I always find something interesting to do, see, or get involved in, and every spare bit of time I have for gaming goes into this gem of a game

Im on FSP as well, and I have to agree. People are generally rude, and if not nobody even bothers to respond. I have even seen a few instances where I have asked a perfectly reasonable question while waiting outside LA, must have been 100 players standing there, and not a single person even answered lol. It’s not just that though, in general I get a horrible impression of people on this server, and while it’s an MMO trait for a large number of players to be those self-entitled morons you describe, this server does seem to have a lot!

Thank you for the response, it’s nice to know this is something you are considering. It will be nice to be able to enjoy coming to these forums, Guild Wars 2 provides a really interesting world to take part in, it’s a shame the forums seem populated by more people that hate the game than those that enjoy it.

Thank you
