Guild Wars 2

Isn’t there a bunch in the Edge of the Mists?

Ayrilana.1396:

Gilosean.3805:

I like it fine so far.

I can understand the complaints about Sylvari and Asura taking over, though. We should get some more Charr storylines.

We probably will with Rytlock.

I’m worried that he’s been “put on a bus”.

::sighs::

Hey, ANet. See this crap? This is another area where you need to step up and communicate better. People are unsure on details, and they’re arguing over the WHY of it all.

Get someone in here that knows about this. Get them to answer questions. Get them to explain the reasoning. Sell us on this idea, don’t just assume it’s going to be well received. And yes, listen to concerns about it. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve foreseen impending problems with an update/change, the sooner you can decide how/if you’re going to address them, the better for all of us.

Communicate, ANet. Talking about this after you’ve already announced it doesn’t even violate that ‘stay quiet’ rule you guys have, but if you can’t manage it here, then you’re not going to manage it on anything important and the mess will just continue to grow.

They redid the forums, there is no more class balance forum any more, that’s closed to new posts.

Anyway…

Ranger is a good one if you’re not looking to do dungeons. They have good options for range, and two good weapons for melee. Greatsword is easier to use, but does less damage, sword does more damage but the dodges and movements are built into the skills and takes some getting used to. Both look and feel impressive, though. Plus, pets! Once you have several to choose from, you can easily adjust your build just a bit by changing which pets you have. Bears to tank for you, birds for glass cannons, or one of the more in-between choices such as cats and wolves. There’s even a few pets that have a special skill that’s a buff instead of an attack.

felessan.9587:

I use the daily achievements for quick XP boosts when leveling characters. I haven’t leveled one in a while, but if I ever get back to it, it’ll be sad to see I can’t do that quite as easily (I can’t take a sub-75 to Malchor’s or Maguuma Wastes).

I think the level tomes that you earn for this could make up for this and then some.

Except that it sounds like you’ll have to choose between them and the “monthly” laurel reward at the end. One or the other, where right now we have both.

Agreed. This may be the biggest drawback for me as well. If there’s someone I want to level, I do the dailies on them. Even harvesting nodes in my home instance for Daily Gatherer, because it gives them some extra EXP.

Crovax.7854:

Problem #3: Again, personal opinion, but honestly; it’s player manipulation disguised as a change to benefit us, which is simply disgusting. Why would the spend resources on an area basically everybody seemed content with when they clearly stated their resources are limited and they will prioritize based on player feedback?

Where did they ever say that they would prioritize based on player feedback? I know they’ve said “we’re listening”, but I don’t recall them saying that they’d do anything about it.

Leap.2760:

Aww I bought all the home gathering nodes just to faceroll my daily gatherer. That was my favorite daily.

If it’s “Gather in Ascalon” for the daily, maybe going to the Black Citadel and doing your harvesting in the home instance there will still count?

Small hope, I know, and nowhere near as convenient.

Kite.2510:

Besides that, not all of us can log-in every day so not to break the chain, ether because of work, being away from home (it’s not something you can do from your cell phone) or simply don’t feel like playing today.

From what I read, it sounds like you won’t “break” the chain, just pause it.

Every day you log in, it advances one. Don’t log in for a day? It doesn’t reset, it just waits for when you DO log in, and again advances one.

If I log in only every other day, it’ll take me twice as long to complete the “monthly” reward track, but I’ll still complete it.

With that said, I’m not sure if all this is a good or bad change. I don’t trust ANet’s judgement, but I want to see it in practice before I decide.

ShinjoNaomi.1896:

Sorry, not everyone hates her as unreasonably as the forum-goers here. Having her cameo does nothing to break any existing, solid lore. And by solid lore I’m not talking about player speculation stuff put up in the wiki that people like to quote as absolute fact.

How about breaking the lore the devs have posted, such as this?

Mind you, it’s really not her appearing there so much as everything else said or shown during that which contradicts her awakening story. Her being there just sort of highlights it.

I’ve already voiced my thoughts on it in another thread, so I’ll just put the link here and leave it at that: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/s2/Spoiler-Scarlet-Briar-lore-break/first#post4602423

Plexxing.2978:

I’d like to be able to combine them to 500.

That would be nice, but it doesn’t work with the 200 step. I’m guessing that’s why they stopped at that point.

They COULD make it so you combine 5 of the 200 luck ones to get 2 500 lucks, though.

Alysia.4635:

I all!

While I was spending my life completing this amazing puzzle, I visited a lot of ruins.
So I was thinking a lot about them.

Comparing Gw and GW2 maps, this area should be Bloodstone fen point of GW. But i really don’t remember about cities. There was the white mantle, the shining blade, druids…

No cities at all.

Any idea about them?

The ship in skritt cave can come from mamnoon lagoon? But I find the ship too big for a small lake….

I’m pretty sure the skritt built that ship from the ground up, so to speak.

They’re copying someone else’s design, and the blueprints are upside down, but they’ve built it.

Astral Projections.7320:

Didn’t they disband the dungeon team and are now looking for someone who knows about raids?

This is correct.

They say “Nothing is off the table”, but “Nothing is on the table” is just as true. They just expect us to take their word for it that there’s even a table at all, when signs suggest there isn’t.

So far as we know, there’s no more dungeon team, and nothing in the works for dungeons. If you want new dungeons, your best bet is to look in other games.

It was annoyingly short, didn’t answer any of the questions we entered with, and the replay value with alts is low due to being Caithe every time you play. (Yes, I know you can team and let someone else be Caithe, but it shouldn’t take a workaround to remain fun.) There’s no moment where the player gets any real choice in any of this story, it’s entirely “on rails” for them.

It also had some serious lore brakes, such as the wrong sylvari being the first to die.

The story it has to tell is interesting, but it was all basically an info-dump leading up to what we really wanted to know, and denying us the use of our own character for all of it. It was too much all at once, especially when it fails to deliver the payoff. Add in the writing problems, and it’s no wonder some people hated it.

Personally, I think it was interesting. I like what they’re trying to do. They just need to do it better, and keep this kind of storytelling gimmick as an ace up their sleeve, not their entire hand.

Kentaine.4692:

Is it too hopeful that this means they’re actually working on weapon set proliferation? Marjory (the second necro to get this ‘gift’, the first being shudders Trahearne) has a greatsword (that isn’t Caladbolg which we know has unique skills if you play the right Sylvari path) now and a blowtorch (perfectly themed for an Engineer- and not for thief/ranger) was created?

Answer:
Probably

Marjory’s a necromancer using a spirit-infused sword to do warrior attacks, thanks to her training with a ranger (Rox).

She’s such a special snowflake that her butt freezes to the toilet seat every time she goes to the bathroom.

Silmar Alech.4305:

Where and when is this mail carrier supposed to appear? I admit, I’ve never detected one in two and a half years yet. I even asked my guild members to send me test mail and I watched my character very carefully (being in the Silverwastes at the time), but I didn’t observed anything apart from the flashing mail symbol in the topper left corner.

Will the carrier appear on the character or in the topper left corner near the mail icon?
Is there any video available that will show this?
Is there any graphics option I have to activate?
What carrier will the receiver see? Its own or the carrier of the sender?

Stand next to someone as they send a message to you.

If you both have the standard message carrier (bird), then one should swoop past them and another should swoop past you. The first is a bird picking up the letter, the second is the bird delivering it. And yes, they can both be on the screen at the same time due to how the mail system works. Should make it easier to spot, though, with two birds to look for instead of just one.

If you’re using a human guardian, I suggest you do the following things:

1) Go to the trading post, and buy some blue level 0 gear. If you can find it, you want the chest, pants, boots, and gloves for the armor, and a staff. +Power on all of them. Settle for less if you can’t find them, but you’ll want to do this.

2) Get 4 different Runes for the armor, each of them being a +10 Power for the first one slotted. Put them into the armor you just got.

3) Get a Sigil of Bloodlust, and a Sigil of Speed, and put them both into the staff.

4) Put all these in the bank, and grab them out as soon as you can with a new character. They’ll see you through the personal story fairly well, just make sure to put them back into the bank when you’re ready to delete. None of these should be soulbound, just accountbound, so you can reuse them.

The staff with the two sigils is the really important part here. Building up Bloodlust stacks is a HUGE boost at the lower levels, and the speed from the Sigil of Speed can help you to cover a lot of ground when you’re out and about. If you don’t want to spend on the armor yet, at least get the staff.

Xander.9024:

Hate to tell ya sport, LB#3 is the shot that makes the ranger go stealth.

It also puts a small buff on the pet, as I recall. Maybe that’s why they’re using it?

Good one!

I’m not joking, actually.

Just checked, it gives the pet Swiftness, useful when so many pets seem to have a hard time with moving targets. (Not that they hit them any better, they just catch up to them for the next swing a bit faster.) It’s also a physical projectile finisher, no “20% chance” stuff, it’s a constant finisher.

So, yes, there are reasons to fire it even when you don’t want stealth.

It’s more about how you want to do the damage than can you do the damage.

It’s also worth pointing out that being the “Tank” or “Healer” isn’t going to work in this game. There’s support, but not like in other games. No aggro management either. It’s mostly about DPS, giving and occasionally taking it.

If you like a good mix of casting style and melee, I’d suggest either an Elementalist (armed with paired daggers), or a Guardian (kind of a paladin-ish class).

I strongly suggest you avoid Mesmers and Engineers for your first character, they both work MUCH better once you have a good feel for how the game goes. Without that experience, they may seem frustrating and painfully under powered. With it, they’re two of the more interesting classes.

Leighthefiregirl.3694:

Was I wrong?

When you double clicked it, it unlocked the ability to buy the boots for the price you saw. Without using it like that, you can’t even buy the boots.

Yeah, it’s stupid.

Astralporing.1957:

Windsagio.1340:

Stupid 45 character limit in titles; If you were a writer in the LS2 story, would you push for Caithe to be tried and/or punished for what’s happened?

Both for stealing the egg and for her part in Faolain’s crimes that there is now a prominent, highly respected witness to?

I’d rather wait till the next LS episode. Remember, the whereabouts of Wynne are currently unknown. There may be more skeletons hidden in Caithe’s closet.

Oh, I fully expect Wynne to be dead. It’s the only way this could have remained a secret.

Erukk.1408:

I would have to agree. If they attack first, they don’t deserve any sort of amends.

That village of centaurs were suppose to be peaceful, but they attacked (my) Caithe first. She was happily sitting there, watching her girlfriend getting attacked by a whole herd of centaur out to kill her, when one comes out of nowhere and tramples her. Then some had the nerve to fire hails of arrows at her. It was all self-defense after that.

To be fair, I did that as well, but I knew it wouldn’t work. It was a game mechanics issue born from the fact that letting the centaurs win wasn’t an allowed choice. You’re forced to fight and save her.

Story-wise, one of them took you aside and tried to get you to stay out of harm’s way, because they knew things were about to turn ugly.

As for what to do to Caithe? A trial would do little good, but there are people that should know what she did. At the very least, the rest of DE and the Firstborn sylvari should know.

You can’t “make amends” for a pile of dead innocents, though I’m sure that’s what she thinks she’s doing right now with the egg. I guess she gets points for trying, but it’s not that easy. In fact, by hiding this event from everyone, she made it easier for Faolain’s following and the Nightmare Court to grow at first. Had the truth been known, it’s likely the sylvari would have been horrified and thrown Faolain out of the Grove.

As a final thought, what worries me is that maybe the Pale Tree didn’t know. The Soundless do not pass their memories and knowledge on through the Dream of Dreams, by cutting themselves off from it as much as they can. What if Caithe, instead of becoming Soundless, managed to bury the memories of these events so deep, so desperately, that they didn’t carry over into the Dream? Instead of dropping the protections of the Pale Tree like the Soundless do, she would have a hole in her defenses, one that could be used to corrupt her even while she’s still connected to the dream. By giving us these seeds to pull the memories from the locations instead of from Caithe, the Pale Tree may be trying to plug a suspected weakness in one of her Firstborn. Caithe would be vulnerable until she confesses her past and faces it, letting those memories enter the Dream.

Lord Kuru.3685:

More like those appointed to these positions will actually be the white knights. That’s my concern anyway.

Oh, I hope so.

Nothing like having to take the heat for someone else’s mistakes and failures to turn you into a seething little ball of hate. The corruption of faith amuses me so, and if ANet does throw their white knights under the bus like this I know I’ll enjoy the show.

Jaher Dal.9503:

I am not seeing where they have broken the lore? Instead of complaining about it, please point it out for those of us who are not seeing the bigger picture.

In the “What Scarlet Saw” story, they flash back to her awakening. There’s a Mender there, who gives her a fairly standard greeting and offers to help her find her intended role. She rejects this, as any role given to her isn’t really hers. This was her first and founding act of rebellion, minor though it may have been.

In Seeds of Truth, however, we see that they are NOT guiding the Secondborn (including Ceara) like that yet, they’re discussing if they should. One of them questions if it’s even possible to misunderstand one’s own Wild Hunt. Given that there were only a few Firstborn, there were not even any actual Menders at that time. Thus, Ceara would not have gotten that greeting and that first act of rebellion couldn’t have happened as it was written.

Yes, I realize that the “What Scarlet Saw” story is also where we got that terrible bit about her in the asura colleges, which was somewhat retconned away later. Even with that, it was one of the best sources of information about her past, but now there’s another chunk of it broken. If we have to throw it out as unreliable, then that little glimpse into her past that we got in the current LS has actually left us knowing less about her than before. And that is an impressive trick of bad writing.

First of all, I’m going to guess that a lot of those reading this have also read the stuff the devs posted about Scarlet, such as What Scarlet Saw.

Now, in the Seeds of Truth missions, you get to see a flashback to the Firstborn sylvari talking about what to do about the secondborn, who appear to have caught them off guard with their awakening.

It’s suggested that they should guide and teach them, which fits with the lore for the PCs and with the story about Scarlet. The problem is, Scarlet’s already there. Near the meeting, you can find the pre-Scarlet Ceara poking at some asurian device she found out in the forest.

So, the lore is that she was put off by Mender Serimon saying that he’d help her to find the purpose intended for her, which lead to her brushing aside the Pale Tree and other sylvari. But it’s also lore that such help wasn’t given to the new sylvari until AFTER she was awakened.

I know that it’s hardly news that Scarlet Briar is a lore breaking train wreck of a character, and I know they likely threw her into the instance just as a offhand thing, but it does highlight the fact that her story doesn’t make sense if she’s a Secondborn.

Meh. I don’t really expect a response, much less a way to resolve the conflict. I just wanted to get this posted so I could get it out of my system, and to hope that the devs try harder to not do this kind of … stuff … in the future.

Thanks Gaile, I needed a good laugh and this is it.

Weindrasi.3805:

I felt glorious.
I am sick and tired of being a goodie two shoes all the time.
I’m sick of being the morally-white-everyone-loves-you-hero.
I do want to be a villain. Very, very much. Playing Caithe and getting to commit villainous acts… even unwillingly on Caithe’s part… was a wonderful change of pace. Finally some bad areas. Finally some grey area.

Unwillingly?

Faolain was referring to the centaurs in the same way the asura had referred to the sylvari. She came with an armed force, and Caithe knew she was being unreasonable about the ‘secret’ that she felt was being kept from her.

Then, the centaur asked Caithe to please stay back out of it, and she didn’t. (Sadly, this being a replay of past events means you don’t really get to choose to listen to her request.) She was presented with a choice, and it was very clear that Faolain was in the wrong there, but she helped her anyway. Caithe chose to do the wrong thing, but she wasn’t forced to.

TexZero.7910:

Good and Evil are nothing more than arbitrary labels assigned by the party who lived to write history. Both sides see their own ideology as just and moral.

Not entirely true. Yes, the victor is the one that gets to write the history books, but it is their descendants that judge them. We can look back on the actions of past generations and reject their self-appraisal, seeing it now for the mistake it was. It happens all the time.

I’m not going to say there’s an absolute good or absolute evil that we can all agree on, because I know better. But while history my be written by the survivors, that doesn’t decide who’s seen as right in the end.

Playing as someone else can be fun and interesting, but it’s a trick to be used sparingly. This… was pretty heavy handed.

Also, don’t forget that you keep the build you normally have. For some people, that just doesn’t work well with Caithe’s fighting style.

Finally, I want to say this: Grab a bow next time, you stupid, fraking salad!

There’s a difference between being able to choose to be the bad guy, and being forced into it.

This was forced. There was a clear and obvious choice here, but because it was a memory of past events, we didn’t get to make that choice.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

If Caithe isn’t immediately executed for this series of crimes upon capture then I probably will not continue playing this story.

Considering that we (the characters we play) are not allowed to forgive Canach for his past deeds, and they were much less than this, I have to agree with you.

I’m sure Caithe is trying to make amends for her past deeds, but her actions so far have been FAR from helpful. If anything, she’s endangered the egg and everyone else with her actions. Even her beloved Pale Tree thinks Caithe is doing the wrong thing here, so she’s hardly making amends no matter what she thinks.

Here’s what I expect we’ll get, though:

Hero: Darn it Caithe, you’ve done bad things.
Caithe: I did it for love, and then to make up for my past mistakes. Forgive me?
Hero: Of course we do, Caithe. Your intentions were good, after all.
Canach: Did I hear someone handing out forgiveness?
Hero: Stuff it up your reed stalk, you heartless animal!

I’m pretty sure we can all agree that a skritt is an obvious choice.

It may sound odd, but I’d rather we not get too fantastical with it. Trained birds and small griffons are one thing, but no candy corn elementals or the like, please. Some things just shouldn’t be delivering the mail, no matter how cute it would be.

Suggestions:

• Skritt (white fur version, please)
• Fern Hound
• Raven
• Snow Owl
• Mail-O-Tron

Donari.5237:

Palador, I PM’d you a sort of guide to finding the start of the JP.

Thank you!

ThRoG.4870:

as for the top right it does not explain to interact with wall panels to distract golems

Wait… what? If this is for the part I’m thinking of, then I failed that part trying to get it to work. I had no idea there was another way to go about it.

Spawne.3128:

Venomge.7142:

Unless this season’s last episode is 9 hours long and has some real epic stuff in there, this season is a waste of time. Honestly.

It’s not gonna end with us fighting mordremoth, i can tell you that right now. With the way its shaping up it will end with us finding the egg and probably finding out that caithe was doing this to redeem herself for what they did to wynne. Anti-climactic and it all makes sense now, given who the story writers are.

Given what we’ve failed to forgive Canach for, there’s no way we should be forgiving Caithe. Honestly, she should be facing execution for what she did back then.

It would be nice to see some other lasting relationships that matter to the central story, either M/M or mixed.

I had to take a break after the story due to a headache, but is there some way you have to know/find to get there? I’d like to give it a try when I log back in later.

Crovax.7854:

I was under the impression that you have to have completed the PS to access Season 2 and I’m sure there was an ANet response backing me up on this. From my understanding you also have to complete the episodes in order.
I’m sorry if some of the more simple players aren’t having fun but they can’t tune the game to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

edit: If you want to be taken seriously, you should refrain from excessive use of caps.

I can confirm that you don’t need to complete the PS at all. I’ve finished it on none of my characters, and I’m playing LS season 2 just fine.

You don’t have to play them in order, either, just have to have them unlocked.

I saw it, and it’s annoying. I’d also love to hear how the “testers” missed this one.

Crovax.7854:

Players’ aren’t new to the game by this point. They have to play all the way to level 80, through the whole story until Zhaitan and then through all of Season 2.
More than ample time to get familiar with all the mechanics.

Actually, you can get to level 80 without seeing most of the game or doing any of the personal story or even LS Season 2 before this point. You (and ANet) can’t assume that players have seen any of these mechanics before, which helps when figuring out how they interact here.

Donutdude.9582:

To conclude, I feel ArenaNet are needlessly shortening episodes to stretch out the story as much as possible, which is slowly starting to spoil things for me.

I’m starting to get that feeling too, or rather something like it. I’m getting the feeling that they can’t produce more LS than they are already, so they’re forcing cliffhangers into it to try to make it seem more exciting.

Crovax.7854:

As I said, this was the first stealth mission ever in GW2. Veterans were as clueless as new players. It was new to all players.

That’s not quite true. Or, rather, the vets have an advantage in figuring it out.

Those of us that have played the game longer have a better general understanding of what goes on in this game, and when something’s different than normal. We’ve gotten a feel for how the devs think, and what they can do with the game. Thus, we have an advantage when it comes to figuring out something new.

It’s like getting to know someone. Once you know them well enough, then even if they trip over their own words or mistype something, you can still tell what they meant fairly easily.

Myself, I messed up a few times in this mission and had to fight it out, and I didn’t do too well with the skills I was forced to use. At the generators, I went around in a circle destroying them all, thinking that if I got them all then his shield would drop. It took me a while to realize that I’d destroyed more than there should be, and someone was repairing them. THEN I figured it out.

Soulmancer.4715:

One thing, do your opponents actually heal when you die? During my first story line quest at level 10, I actually got swarmed and died… Re-started at the check point, ran back and saw the boss was still at half health so I defeated him easily… Not only did I die and not get any type of punishment, but my opponents seem to be crippled fro,m my first encounter… Is this the normal thing with most story line quests? If that’s the case I’ll likely not be continuing with the game.

It’s based on how long they’re “out of combat”, generally.

However, if you’re facing a tough fight against a boss and his minions, and you take out one or two minions before you die, then they don’t reappear no matter how long you wait. (Except for in VERY few cases, where it’s an endless stream of minions, but those are rare and you’ll have your hands delightfully full in those cases.)

The skritt stuff is the only welcome surprise here, to me. I want to see what kind of ship they’re building. If it’s an airship, that’s awesome but suggests that there’s enough skritt there to think at that level. If it’s a water ship, then what do they know that we don’t to suggest that they’d even want one here? And if it’s a sand ship, will they show me how to build one of my own if I ask nicely?

Otherwise, it’s good to progress the story, but that’s not really a surprise. Not so sure I’ll like where the story is going, though. Not after the forced stupidity of the main character last time.

Superior Rune of Trench Coats (6/6)
(1): Chest piece skin is replaced by a full-length trench coat.
(2): Leggings skin is replaced by the pants best described as “Something that Columbo would wear”.
(3): Headgear skin is replaced by an umbrella hat.
(4): Glove skins are replaced by large, over-sized rubber gloves.
(5): Footwear skins are replaced by thick rubber waders.
(6): While wearing armor with all 6 runes, each successful event completed by the player gains 1 Trench Coat Claim Ticket.

5000 Trench Coat Claim Tickets can be exchanged for an Outfit item called, “The Trench Coat”.

Jesus this Idea with the farming items with equipped runes to exchange into a special Item is awesome !!!!

Could combine with weakening Runes to enable some new goals for the whining “hardcore” players. Not even a change in game needed!!! Thumbs up!

You know, that actually is a good idea. Might take some work, but I could see people liking it.

Nilkemia.8507:

This is clearly a troll thread.

No! Really? How can you tell?

DeceiverX.8361:

I want to say the “tutorial”-side of the game ends at 15 or so.

It might be more accurate to say that it ends once you move on to the second group of zones, which should be around level 15.

However, a lot of people say that the game just isn’t challenging at any point, or only when you get to the living story at level 80. It all depends on the person in question.

Good luck.

Chameleon Dude.1564:

Also, I just had to reply to this. Vampire bats are a type of bat, not vampires. Vampirism would be linked to necromancy, specifically blood magic. That and vampirism just means draining something. I’m afraid that there are no vampires here.

No Dracula style vampires. I’m sure they’ve got a few stories of some other kind, though. Maybe a Jack the Ripper type of person that uses necromancy to steal the blood and youth from their targets.

Even on Earth, there’s a wide range of vampire legends beyond the typical Dracula type. It’s a fairly basic idea, especially with the bats there to suggest it to people. It’s almost a given that there’s some kind of story there along those lines. They might be so strange that sparkling would seem tame, but they’d still be vampires.

Bloodstealer.5978:

Hmmm.. your obviously not up to date with your MMO folklore… every serious fantasy MMO player knows that the Care Bears could never invade Tyria by way of the Mists or any other way simply because they were annihilated by the Unicorns in the Great Rainbow Wars…

Pfft … players these days just don’t follow the news leaks!

Yeah, I’ve never bought that story that the Unicorns killed them all. Call it headcanon if you want, but I’ve always felt that some of them used their rainbow powers to summon the Bifrost and escape into Asgard. By looking at the legendary weapons of Tyria, you can tell that Zommoros knows of this, and is warning people that the conflict will soon resume on Tyria.
