Probably not, since they also want bosses to have new unique mechanics tied to the break bar system, I would guess they are not done with that.

Would be nice if a dev would come and give us a bit more intel about this.

In a nutshell it is like “boss starts to activate a big attack, if the break bar is broken the boss will not perform the attack”

They also said something like bosses going into different stages as well if players fails to break the bar.

Getting new players into the = Screwing vets over

You heard it here first.

You should be happy about new players getting it “cheaper”.

Will we be able to build platforms and such? So we can maybe a real 3d environment instead of just a flat ground with obstacle that we cannot climb up on.

Imagine if we could place premade rocks, grass fields, and just mosh up a crazy little arena. I can see so many fun things to play with here.

Imagine slotting down lots of houses in an interesting pattern, but you clip them some what through the ground rotate them and on the bottom/floor you have some kind of mist/clouds giving an illusion of being high up. Falling down would result in death.

I hope we get to play with the rules and give us enough tools to properly make small battle arenas! Not just arenas with X random pillars to add some los.

/Hype train, choo choo!

Why does DR not reset while in PvP?

I feel like this would add enough counter play to stealth. No condi dmg will should not reveal a stealthed target.

Only when you actually hit the player that is in stealth.

Thoughts?

They could avoided this bad PR pretty easily, but the players are exaggerating as well.

Not sure how expecting a character slot for an expansion that costs $50 and includes a new class is exaggerating but whatever.

If you have read some posts you would know what I meant,

They could avoided this bad PR pretty easily, but the players are exaggerating as well.

I bought Ultimate, cause I know I will get my moneys worth. Maybe HoT will not have TONS of content. But it will set a foundation, which I very much agree with.

Cant wait!

ETA on next HoT Beta?

Thank you:)

TRON.1085:

Gimme a break WP is completely biased as hell…

Which he also says himself.

Can i have ur stuff?

Not worth 50 bucks.

Have we seen all the content? It sure seems that way by you all who complain about it. Myself, I think and am pretty sure we have not.

I have bought the ultimate edition, to get that out of the way. How many hours have you played GW2, divide it by the bucks you bought it for and reply here.

If HoT does not have 1/2 of the content GW2 had at launch, I wont mind, I wont mind if it has 1/3rd or 1/4th.

Because we have gotten so much for free over the years, granted things could of been done better across the board. But most of us active players agree that this is the MMOrpg on the market right now that is worth spending your time on.

You have to keep in mind HoT will lay the foundation for probably 2-4 seasons of living world with tons of more content to come, free of charge.

Is this not worth 50 bucks? How much do you spend on your lunch, candy or whatever in a week?

Is it a tad high? Sure, but like many others I was expecting a price like this. Does the 50 dollar pack feel a bit lack luster, yup it does. As of right now and here.

But if you really have to compare X and Y to 0.5 dollars here and there. You might want to think what you spend your money on elsewhere.

If you are in a situation where you cannot afford to spend 100 dollars on a game, that you have played for potentially 3 years(0.091 dollars per day!), then you might want to change your hobby, or play a game that is free.

Are we really that salty that Anet lets new players get the game cheaper? The game is three years old, ofc new players should get a discount.. Did you buy any triple A game the last 2 years?

Are you complaining that new players to those games can buy them for 50-80% off?

I think not. Calm the kitten down. You do not have to pre-order, you can wait for reviews and all that.

Tipper.6973:

A lot of the changes in the current notes feel very incomplete. Warrior seems to have been hit the hardest by this, but other classes are scratching their heads about a few “missing” or questionable things too.

My suspicion is that a lot of the stuff we were expecting – but didn’t get – will come with the expansion / elite specs. This patch almost feels like a beta test for condi stuff, and they’ll add the rest later.

Still, that seems like bad business practice. Don’t half-kitten a balance patch… are we going to be stuck with incomplete traits and abilities for 6+ months?

We probably will.

And HoT will launch in 3 ish months, not next year.

Yamsandjams.3267:

They didn’t mention frenzy specifically, but they did indicate that all those quickness-type skills are having the negative effects removed. So frenzy should no longer make you take extra damage. Can’t say if it will have any other changes to it.

Will need official confirmation to know for sure though.

Probably increase cooldwon to 180 seconds to balance it.

Yup and you can no longer take that trait and the inflict bleed on crit, which also has its duration nerfed..

Seems like Anet is embracing the stacking and making it a part of the whole game, not just dungeons.

lighter.2708:

What happens with Physical warrior skill, in game traits give 100% damage increase and now only 30% with full adrenaline?

and what happens to healing skills

Warriors no longer have arms, and need to use kitten and mouth to wield weapons. Thus we can no longer do 100% more dmg with phys skills. Since we have to use our kitten and mouth to attack.

Why discuss, they wont give a dolyak anyway.

but its our rights to discuss!

well, at least the moderator who moderates these warrior forums gives a dolyak.
i was infracted earlier and had my original topic purged when i stated the facts.

Be careful, they may move this topic to “Community Events” to silence the topic.

Why discuss, they wont give a dolyak anyway.

They also said that simply leveling to 80 will be enough to unlock all the skills and traits.

Then you need like 60 or so more skill points to unlock the elite spec.

So what is the problem?

PvP lobby could for sure need some love. Let us duel in there as well( It can be away from all NPCs to prevent anyone getting offended by people dueling)

And please, the music. It is SO boring, wow..

Plus the whole map itself is also so plain and boring, would love a more vibrant approach on it.

.S.C.A.R.L.E.T.2.0.

Because its a material sink.

+ It will make you use a transmutation charge.

sarasvatri.6871:

Awesome video and song. Disappointed OP had to frame it in negativity.

This song has been posted before, and I want to highlight it since it just recently was posted.

I would rather see a topic on why Anet has been so resistant to add tools for the community to make stuff.

If you choose to look at that as me bashing this awesome music video in a negative light, that is up to you.

I will boldly say(pun intended) that you devs not being able to implement it sooner(first person camera) have costed you many, many thousands of dollars.

If you just look at this video that was posted on Youtube five days ago.

Imagine what the community at launch, where the hype was at its biggest would of done?

I just hope for the future you embrace the community more, it is free advertisement, or rather cheap advertisement. How you failed to see it for so long, I would say it has to do with the upper management of ANET.

I have read a lot of the reviews of working at ANET where some of them mentioned drastic changes in focus and suddenly scrapping what the devs had worked on for quite some time.

I would guess this is one of those scrapped ideas, be it good or bad.

TL;DR: I just hope ANET have learned or will learn that community created content will be more effective than whatever kittenty site you pay for ads.

“I wonder why we had next to no machinima videos at launch”

Merge this thread? It is now a duplicate since OP posted in two forums.

Delete this post if you want to.

I think Anet should implement a system to the public where we can actually see % win rates of specific classes and builds before we go on about what is OP or UP.

Similar to what LoL has, ofc it is more complicated with different builds and such in GW2, but then again we dont have 100 classes.

You know they are working on making a ladder system right? Right?

Sure it sucks now, but alteast they are working on it.

This will filter the trash from the pros and the other way around. And hopefully make premades face higher ranked players.

Played a decent amount of solo matches myself and I have been having fun.

It goes to Colin Johanson’s personal account. HE IS SWIMMING IN GOLD!§

This is a scientific theory. Which is valid until proven wrong.

If you are not familiar with this condition you can read about it here.

This has to be my favorite skill effect/negative condition in all the MMOs I have played to date.

It might not fit straight into GW2 in vanilla form, but a slighty altered form of it would be awesome.

Given the pace of combat in PvP it would be OP to suddenly have your max health cut by 20%.

What suggestions do you guys have that would make this condition fit into GW2?

They will introduce a new currency. They are separating skill points and the materials you can buy with them.

How we will earn the new currency is not well known so far.

Conski Deshan.2057:

Going forward all Armors will be rewards from in game content only (recent interview revealed). So outfits are all that will be released until there is a new piece of content that the armor can be a reward for (may be as far away as HOT).

Yup, this. Thank the legions. Dont care how long i have to wait so long as i can earn it

This.

This has been a problem with GW2 for so long, no real in game rewards. Now we will finally start getting that, and I dont care if I have to wait too:P

All this farm does is shift gold from rich people to poor, and removing 15% of it in the process.

This is 100% a good thing for the economy of GW2.

It does not generate any gold at all.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/4-Pre-s-45ish-attempts-1-week

You should go over to this thread and say that this guy cannot play the game that way.

They really need to fix the music. Sometimes I dont even get any for several minutes. And rarely I get the battle music, and then it only lasts for 10-20 seconds..

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Probably because of a number of forum threads saying how much they missed going out in the world in Guild Wars 1 to kill bosses to capture elite skills and how they wished that this game had something like it. It appears ANet read those posts and tried to put a similar system in with one of the options this game has, traits and events.

Then everyone complained that they have to play the game. And cannot get everything NAOW!

So they are changing it back. Not sure what I prefer.

I believe we will all be getting a free slot with the expansion anyway.

if the company holds to its roots and does like it did in GW1 there will be 5 new toon slots with the game. and i for one hope they hold to this

but yet it would be nice to see a sale on toon slots as well very soon

All those roots that was from GW1 has for long since been shredded, torn apart and fed to rat, or a Scritt.

Sad face =(

GW2 is still a good game, but I would pay a 100 sub fee for a true successor to GW1.

Have fun in sPvP for a month is a way if you dont want to get bored while leveling.(A month is maybe exaggerating, depends how much you play)

Use gold from PvP to craft chef. 1 Month of logging in can get you 16 tomes.

So no one want to show their characters? Only provide some blue links… H O K A Y .

Guess I need to ask Gaile then? ..

Dont get why this is something we really have to deal with at all. Achievements that gave X reward and are “Achieved” on an account.

I dont see a valid reason for these not to be auto unlocked. It is a account bound skin that the account has already achieved from an achievement.

For sure they can track what achievements we have, all they have to do is write some code for, yes, yes all the old achievements to unlock the wardrobe feature.

Contact about GEM STore, we get instant answer. But hard earned stuff. Nope.

End of my rant, dont even know why I have to write this.

Donari.5237:

Here’s a thread where you can see lots of looks. Warning, it will take you a long time to go through it.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Post-a-pic-of-your-character-only-if-your-armor-is-mix-n-match/first

Yes, and it is two years old which is why I post a new thread.

Had the Greatsaw for so long and finally got around to make a theme around it.

Thinking about swapping out the leggings, but quite happy with how it looks at the moment.

Show off your armor theme that you are working on, or for;)

This is my maniac machine.

Achievement done to unlock them, but somewhere along the line I lost them and it was before the wardrobe.

So will a support ticket be any hope to get this fixed?

Thanks.

To clarify. They are not unlocked in my wardrobe, even tho I have actually earned the achievement they were rewarded for.

I think it was an achievement atleast, so long ago I dont remember.

Apolyon.6937:

I have a better idea, what if there was a way to acquire fractal weapons? :p

This. I have one torch… Wit something like ONE, one thousand fractals completed. So like 300+ runs.

I have had my taste and not motivated anymore.

Experience will be worth more after the expansion so it might be worth it then?

All the time? I have this sometimes in huge zergs, but not just normal play.

As long as your NA you can do everything together except WvW no matter what server you are on.

A lot of people are using the human capital for TP and bank access.

Season 2, I think i read somewhere on the net that i would be able to purchase/download/re-live season 2 of the living world. Is this possible? Would i receive rewards of any value or is it purely for the story? I don’t really mind either way but would be good to know.

You mostly get AP and some titles, but you do get some okay rewards. Is it worth the cost for the rewards? No. If you have zero interest in the story I would not bother buying them.

But having them is pretty nice and they guide you around the new maps to some degree.

Legendaries, google tells me there are no new legendaries, is this true? I’m not a big fan of the ones currently available. Well not a big enough fan to engage on a grind.

The expansion will come with new legendaries, which are account bound on acquire. Also you will be able to make you own precursor when the expansion comes.(Probably will be as expensive and more time consuming)

“BiS” Gear, i believe now there are much more ascended pieces than the fractal rings. Is a full ascended set now available and possibly farmed from locations outside fractals?

Guild Missions, WvW, achievements/collections, some crafted in Mystic Forge, Laurels which you get for logging in.

The ascended armor set can be crafted or you can get lucky and get random boxes which contains one piece. You cannot choose exactly what stat you want.

Welcome back, came back few months ago myself.

Also a lot of people are doing the bosses. Most have a once a day decent reward.

Also there are megaservers now so the game feels more packed with people.

Dungeon tracks

Dungeon tracks are on a two week rotating cycle. Players can complete the story mode of the associated dungeon to unlock its reward track permanently.

Which I have done.

Dungeon tracks locked : http://imgur.com/a/01wU5

These screenshots are taken on the character that I have completed all the story dungeons on.

Help?

Pretty sure I had them all unlocked on my warrior until I started to PvP on my engi. Now on my warrior it says I have to complete story mode for X dungeon or wait for rotation.

Is this normal? Intended?
