Guild Wars 2

It’s an unfinished jumping puzzle actually, not a dungeon (At least this is what I was told and saw when went there)

A question I had (sorry if it was asked already but I’m short in time and can’t read so many pages of answers) : dyes we unlocked on characters we deleted, even a while ago, will be available anyway, or they are lost?

You have to log in with a character so that the dyes on that character become account bound, so I think it won’t work on deleted characters.

Thanks a lot

A question I had (sorry if it was asked already but I’m short in time and can’t read so many pages of answers) : dyes we unlocked on characters we deleted, even a while ago, will be available anyway, or they are lost?

I want at least two new classes, one must be heavy. I don’t really know what could they be, no wonder I am not a game developer. All I know is that it’s pointless to add a new race, choose it in creation and wait 30 mins in front of the same, plain professions I’ve been playing and overplaying for almost 2 whole years.

NO. It’s not.

I do admit I sounded quite mean and did not express some things clearly nor properly.
I know there are other options but when something is way superior and makes things easier and better for everyone with you, it is claimed. If ignorant people saw how much good rangers can bring to their team, they would no longer ask for warriors only to fill.
Besides:

1 I only answered the question brought up. Like it or not, that’t the reason why rangers are unwanted. Everyone is free to play anything, I myself have a friend running shout-heals and I run dungeons with her anyway. I am speaking of less appreciated, not useless. People want speedruns, whether they specify it or not, and anything which makes their speedrun less effective is not welcome.
2 I am generalizing because no one can know everyone , but if in 9/10 of the times I get rangers who behave that way, I take it as an average behavior. (I as general) You are shouting at me because I pointed out things. Those are only the reason why if I myself join a team for a dungeon with my ranger I am asked: “don’t you have something better than ranger?”not even waiting to see me and know how I play. Because they think I MUST be a ranged-when-not-appropriate ranger to their eyes.
Play how you want is right, but when you run a dungeon there is another factor that needs to be considered: you must bring some good to your team. You must change your skills, weapons and playstyle according to the thing you are to do. You are a shout-heal? Fine, but when you are in situations like you are the only warrior in a team and you don’t switch one shout into a banner of discipline you are not justified anymore.
I ran a CoE p3 just tonight. I brought my mesmer because I love to play him and want to use him. With me: 1 shout heal war, 1 tank war, 1 AH guard, 1 condition necro. Damage extremely low which brought to wipes. Did one of the warriors even thought to use one banner to increase team’s dps? No. Did guard consider to switch from mace to gs? No. Result? I had to switch on my zerk warrior, bring BoD, BoS and elite banner to truly carry the team to the end (I had to solo Alpha from half hp in 2 encounters) . I doubt we would have make it within the hour if I had not sacrificed my amusement and will to play my mesmer for the sake of the team.
In brief. You are free to play what you like as long as you can do some smart sacrifices for a higher good. Otherwise, accept the will of the others who do not wish to play with someone like you.

I don’t really see how this giant is in any way preventing people from enjoying Diessa…I mean, all you need there is a WP and I’ve never seen the Giant ambushing whoever tries to get it, it’s inside the city unless someone pulls it in fight. Plus, what’s in that town? A vendor and armor repairs? o.O (Sorry, I don’t want to be indelicate, I just don’t understand o.o )

No build will see any benefit. Actually, more builds will become more useless in my opinion. They know well what’s the only thing they can do to make more builds viable, and it has to do with fixing mobs’ AI, they keep “running in circles around that” because meaningless nerf are easier and quicker and will make all the “ZERK RUINS GAME” QQers uber happy for about 10 minutes until they’ll log in in game and see that nothing changed.

Whenever I need to do that skill point I jump in with an Ash Legion kit in hands. It’s the easiest way, way easier than getting the zerg killing Dwayna Statue to come lean a hand :P

I personally don’t hate ranger, I play one when I feel like it, and I’ve never been one of those “No ranger/necro/engi” in LFG. But what I can say about this is: the reason why they are hated is that most (not all) of the ranger players run horrible builds and use little to no brain. Too many of them go “I like bows, I play ranger to play ranged.” and wouldn’t switch to a melee weapon not even under torture, despite in too many occasions bows are few more than completely useless and unfitting. Too many ranger pick pets according to their liking, for their look not their dps and skills. Speaking honestly now…how many times it happens to run a dungeon (with stacking in corners) and see rangers using a longbow at 0 range despite longbow’s damage depends on the range? With me, it happened too many times. How many times you see rangers in AC shooting arrows at burrows? Too many.
Sadly, in this game range is never as good as melee. Not players’ fault. I’d kick a warrior/guardian/ele ANY TIME to allow a sword-horn, melee only, zerker, traited with spotter, using Frost Spirit ranger because this brings lots of good things to a team. There is no point in seeing that bearbow ranger attacking a mob and being the last one standing, dealing barely any decent damage and simply dying as soon as the melee team is dealt with by the enemy.
What makes Necros and Rangers less loved is that too many people don’t play them in the best way, but the worst way. I hate to be so mean, but it is true. Just like you don’t want to see a shout-heal, 0 damage cleric warrior.

About dungeon buyers I can tell you only one personal thing: if they are SO bad in playing this game that they would rather pay lots of golds than run a dungeon, I am much happier to see them in sellers’ teams than mine!

xallever.1874:

I think those people were more inbetweeners than elitists. If you’re truly an elitist, why PUG in the first place? Or if you’re an elitist looking to PUG, what is it that you don’t already know about the state and probabilities of a PUG gameplay?

I once PUGed in SE p1 and just realised something was amiss when the golem part took longer than expected (I thought they were focusing on the adds; turns out not only that, but one Mes decided to use GS for the whole time and the Guardian uses the Sceptre).

Since we didn’t wipe at Nokk, I decided to stay but persuaded my party to stack at the other side when I told them that we won’t have enough DPS with two people ranging (kinda gave up on telling range-ers to melee).

I just thought this would be faster than to look for another PUG whose quality could be as suspect.

PUGers that play properly kinda spoil you a little bit lol. Ideally, you kinda try to make the best out of a situation. I would rather take the initiative to ask if someone is new and teach them the fight when you realise something is a bit funny than kicking them straight away.

Honestly, though. Unless it’s a wipe or they fail to follow instructions, it’s sort of a bit much for PUG unless the lfg states it more clearly. It’s more annoying when you write exp 80s and you get first timers who clearly didn’t care about the lfg desc.

What I find the most obnoxious is when those who wrote the LFG themselves are noobs or non-80s. Some people think their friend can bring whatever trash to the dungeon while the rest of team can be perfect. It’s something I don’t accept. If your friend wants to bring that, you make a LFG which allow other people to do the same, or force your friend to match your description.
But honestly. A guardian..alright, it’s not the end of the world to use such skill, as mentioned, RF is so often useless for fights go fast and easy that it doesn’t really add too much to the team. (Too much, but it’s always good to have that extra aegis-cond remover) I get more annoyed when I see mesmers around using Mistfire wolf instead of Time Wrap…and there are…more than you think..
As for the team being right or not to kick you, it depends on what they asked for. If they claimed experience…meant as experience in playing your profession, not just know the path, then they had the right to. (I don’t want to be mean, but as mentioned even ToW is better than HoB.)
All I can suggest you is: to have fun, either you make your own lfg and ask for relaxed/fun people (Add a/:)/=)/^^) or just keep it for when doing some event in PvE, where no one can harm you

What’s exactly that you guys find so less epic in buying gems to get gold, instead of grinding whatever new grind next patch brings/dungeons/meta event/whatever to get the gold to buy everything?
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t approve this, there is a reason if I find totally meaningless-useless-totally not legendary to craft a legendary weapon in this game.
It either shows you have money to waste or time to waste, not that you have any kind of skill, most of all, now that buying dungeons paths is so mainsteam (Not to mention they are so common that basic(white) weapons looks more rare :P)

I totally agree with this. Despite people (ignorant people) cry around about zerker gear as if it’s the Devil and source of all evil in this game, it’s far from being so.
It’s just the best in the current state of the game. And the 10% nerf will indeed change nothing, full dps will still rule, because:
-Toughness gives no real defense against this 1-hit attacks bosses are given;
-Conditions have a totally meaningless role in PvE, they bring no good to a team in a dungeon for example, and causes some professions which are thought as condition-dealer to be hated and useless;
-Healing power nor most of support is in any way enough to counter a damage so high to 1 hit in barely 1-2 seconds;
-Mobs…you spoke of AI which sucks indeed (Why in GW1 the dumbest mob would move away from AoE attacks and in a game which should be advanced, mobs simply stand still, crushed into a corner to take any attack without trying to move from there?), and also the fact they have uber-huge hp pools doesn’t help. Dps is needed for a fight not to last forever.
I honestly hope that all the people who go “ZERK RUINED THE GAME” will actually read and realize some things…and maybe stop accusing people for choosing to run the best build available at the moment.

Just run dungeons. Go AC p1-p3+CoF p1 and you’ll get already around 5g in barely one hour if not less. If you want to try something a little harder include CM 1-3, HotW 1, CoF 2, full CoE for extra sure gold, no RNG trash. And if you can, go Arah 1-2-4, each worth 3g26s without count the items you’ll get.

It can’t be that area, and as far as I know if you approach the blocked entrance of the cave the area wil uncover anyway, if I recall properly…
Have you been into the Griffons puzzle in Lornar’s though? It was the last area I missed there back then, maybe it can help (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Griffonrook_Run_ )

I have a great idea what could be done to make all dungeons more challenging: copy paste a wild-Giganticus Lupicus which spawns, surely, but in a random moment, in every dungeon (When last boss is at 1% hp, last burrow in AC, at the very entrance of the dungeon!!! and making sure it blocks progresses if skipped. Must, mostly, be added to AC story to make it even more friendly for new players who get started with dungeons!! ) It’ll also do for those who don’t like to run Arah, so that they’ll be able to get Arah tokens from every other dungeon!!

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Transmutation_Crystal = €€€€€$$$$ = reason why it won’t sadly happen :/

Most epic fail ever for the AC tokens xD
Though imo this is going to kill the dungeon path (at least speaking of pugs and puggers) since it still remains absurdly boring and plain, as they changed the little troll instead of the main bosses which are just obnoxious uber huge hp pools with lame AI and with random pugs you end up failing quite a lot of times.

Give spiderlings a wall of reflection or a feedback and see the magic

Mystic.5934:

It’s good to see a ‘Missing Patch Notes’ post, but I’d rather see what was actually missing, and not a complaint that something was missing. In their defense, a lot of things don’t merit the space to include on the patch notes (would you really want to see “we removed one of the rocks near the Spider Queen in Ascalonian Catacombs” and more?)

Well, I don’t think that changing a mob like Troll in HotW can be compared with “removed one of the rocks near the Spider Queen”, since it has totally new skills which require players to be prepared to a fight where you’ll end up feared-knocked down-dazed repeatedly with barely any cool-down and one-hit in the process. I doubt any team managed to avoid a wipe the first time they faced the new Troll honestly.
And what I find worse is that they would rather say they removed one of the rocks, than how they made a change to a dungeon. (“Changed description of x to match better with..”)

Mystic.5934:

Orpheal.8263:

one of the most beginner friendly dungeon paths of the whole game

isn’t HotW tied for the highest level dungeon in the game? why should that standing be beginner friendly? AC, CM, and TA should be beginner friendly. I would expect end-game dungeons to be a pain the kisser.

Well, the Troll in AC that spawns in story is not, in any way, more friendly towards beginners anyway and it’s actually what causes almost every team with several unexperienced low level players to leave the party.
The only things that I can say about HotW troll are: 1 I am surprised they buffed that instead of firstly work on the most farmed and faceroll dungeon path in game (CoF 1)
2 It’s CC attacks are ridiculously unbalanced and all I can see as a reason to implement such changes to it, is to force people to kill those stupid wolves that were always skipped
3 They buffed a random champion troll and left all of the ridiculously dumb Legendary bosses in dungeons the same useless, plain endless hp pools.
But I agree with you when you say this “stealth changes” are obnoxious and surely made to try to counter the amount of negative comments. I can’t see any other reason, which is quite silly, considering how much people have been complaining every day about dungeons being too easy and in need of reworks.

Herr der Friedhoefe.2490:

Because they also have a coin mall item to unlock unidentified dyes…

Be careful what you wish for.

In other words, they have to pay gems to identify unidentified dyes. Are you sure you are willing to have to pay real money to get an account bound worhtless brown dye?

Suure because Tequatl-like Behe is going to bring anyone away from a train not even easy Behe can, right? It would only make more “wars” in map chat between those who want the big event to succeed and all the farmers, just like it was in LA for all these days.

Letifer.4360:

Selling my Gift of Battle 1500g (send me everything else too) lol

Lol, I’m selling my 6 gifts of exploration for 100g each >:)

The fact they are not the latest add, doesn’t make them less desiderable, surely not enough to make them free. I doubt any new hairstyle will be in character creation unless someday we’ll get an expansion.

Nike.2631:

Pip.2094:

What armor you using in the first picture?

Norn Cultural Tier 1 for chest and gloves.
Aetherblade-style heavy armor for pants (gemstore).
Exotic “Named sets” boots.

Thank you! Truly an awesome mix

Warkupo.1025:

My responses have been more aimed at the impression I am getting that the developers not adding hairstyles is due to some inherit level of incompetence. You seemed to be asking questions as to why such a simple, obvious, totally easy thing to implement has not been done, to which I provided you basic answers.

Generally, you should assume when making a complaint about something technical that if it was as easy to do as you proclaim (you, who have no actual idea of how such things are developed or implemented), then it would likely already be done.

Wanting things is one thing, but you come off as indigent, thus my resulting disposition towards you.

As for the… rest of your post and your apparent insecurities about your personal hairstyle: I had long hair in highschool. So there’s that.

If it was so hard to realize how come female Norn had several really long hairstyles since release and a new one was even added? If I am to speak in a smart*** way I’d say that since male humans are not as sexy and appealing for most of players, devs and designers don’t give a kitten to even consider to bother with them. Which is also proven, as someone mentioned already, by how less detailed and appealing manly versions of most of armors, light as top, are compared to feminine versions. Just look at Winged armor and how detailed feminine version is, then look at manly version. Prove me wrong.

Blur, you should just totally ignore those jerks. Most of them speak just for the sake of putting someone else down. You could post a solution to every war that could only benefit in every way, every person in the world and they still would be here to criticize with pointless arguments, without any reason, just because they are unable to shut up.
Adding more, different hairstyles is going to harm NO ONE . No one said “replace short hair with long”, those who like short hair will still be more than able to pick them and enjoy them. They should be even happier as there will be less clones
/people picking the same haistyle.
Just ignore them and keep the conversation up with more constructive comments and suggestions

Nike.2631:

There are some heavy pieces that are either entirely cloth or show a lot of skin.

Just go into the sPvP lobby and browse the locker there – you can preview everything in one place.

What armor you using in the first picture?

Look into Lion’s Arch, there is basically everyone there to enjoy the uber grind part II.

Ezekiel.1985:

Let’s not get into taking more abilities away from players than have already been taken away
(see: control effects on bosses)

It’s not taking away abilities, it’s creating a smarter combat, and make more of your skills actually useful, force more team-play, make some less wanted professions more appealing and such.

Hopefully before the release of GW3, but I wouldn’t get too high hopes!

Mazreal Blackknight.1564:

Female Norn have long hair and clipping issues, why can’t the guys have long hair and clipping issues?

This is what I wonder as well…I am starting to think that people here are baldies and would have complexes if they saw chars with too long hair >:D

This is what I wonder as well…and what angers me. Guess they will be replaced on the AP boxed by steakills trash so that it’s something as unworthy.

Apparently this game, in many things(not everything) is like a few steps back from GW1. Honestly, all I can suggest you to try to be less of a target of these trolls who live to ruin others’ fun is: Don’t, for any reason put some “DON’T MERGE” when you advertise your LFG, it’s like a magnet for them, I saw that with my eyes once. Don’t write stuff like “No x profession” because it too causes annoyance to people and they might want to “make you pay”. For the rest, just hope I guess…

Lilith Ajit.6173:

Beleth.8249:

You can’t expect lvl 80’s to carry you.

Nobody carried them so they won’t carry you.

This is not entirely true.

I enjoy taking new players into their first dungeons teaching them the ropes as long as they are level appropriate and geared to their level.

But you should never expect a person to help. Some people will, but you should always ask.

Problem is that a huge amount of them wants to be carried without learning nor give any contribution. Many of them will come with worst gear (Even white and way too many levels lower than their current level), won’t listen to any suggestion, force you to drag them to the end and even insult you instead of thanking you. This I am saying out of experiences I had, which make me think twice before deciding to help someone else.
And as you said, ask for help. When my sister levelled up her alt through AC she always made her own party, just saying “Any level welcome.” We both were surprised to see how many 80s joined.

I wish we could just dye our backpacks like the rest of our armors…

Agreed…I wouldn’t use Queen Jennah’s mini not even if I had become crazy all of a sudden and made a Logan clone -.- It sucks and it’s rotting in my collectible (In hope she(they) will miss oxigen at some point and die, or that the snow leopard will get hungry and use them as feed -.-) building a slow stack of them as the time goes by. -.- (Not to mention the Risen Priests of Balthazar………………..) Let us kick this trash into MF at least, and get a 10s worth blue mini out of 4 of them -.-

duka.1704:

So i just defeated The Shatterer for the 100th time, and i wasn’t able to hold it anymore.

How do you immobilize a dragon, or for that matter how do you blind it? And even if you manage it, is it worthwhile for the gameplay? I mean, it’s ridiculous that the dragon stomps on my character and i get a shameless “Miss” on me!

But my all time favorites are:
-Blinding the Tequaltl
-Burning the Fire Shaman

Now, you might say i’m not a casual player but i would like to see more creatures, like the dredge (whom you can’t blind) so we get more challenge. (i know there are a few more) AND common sense please, regulate conditions on all world bosses or even on champions.

P.S.: I have no idea how Shatterer’s right side looks like.

-Burning Fire Elemental, kill it with fire atturnment :P

Getting serious, I totally agree with you. It makes no sense. Kill fire with fire, ice with water or whatever. It looks like boss fights (and normal mobs too) were thought and realized with feet.

Sublimatio.6981:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/0/05/Human_male_hair_styles.png

look on second bar.

Yeah these hairstyles in second bar goooo soooooo lower than shoulders height, you must be a mentor man, incredible how I could miss such long hairstyles. I would fear my character could step on his hair if I picked one of those. (Not to mention they look dreadful. Tis bit between brackets isn’t sarcasm.) #Sarcasm off.

On topic. I will never be tired to repeat how badly this game needs longer hairstyles for males. I am sick on what a mini choice we got. We have either bald, or short or a little less short hair, nothing you can call LONG HAIR. Female Norn have long hair. No one else. Which sucks.

Maybe if they will become gem stores items we’ll have hope to see them fixed. I have no hope right now.

I totally agree and support this. The lack of long hairstyles for males is truly ridiculous. Only female Norn apparently have the right in this game to have long hair, “who knows why” -.-
Among all the lack of features in character creation, this is what I find the worst.
Clipping can’t be an excuse. It doesn’t stop female Norn players from using long hairstyles, I don’t see why my male human should bother instead. I’d pick a long hairstyle that bugs through shields and armors rather than the ugly short hairstyles we have available at the moment. Don’t hope to see any more money from me for hairstyle-makeover kits until this will actually fixed because it’s worse than a bug.

I want a TOTAL rework to character creation to stop seeing a bunch of clones roaming around. I want my character to be unique !

It’s like they care only for that trash Living Story. I’ve heard of people banned for afking that trash but still people can merge, force a seller to finish the dungeon without getting payment, instance-owner leaves dungeon progress destroyed, unfair kicking etc. Don’t get high hopes this will be solved any time soon. Maybe I am just pessimistic, but I am getting quite disappointed as the time goes by.

Buy Ash Legion kits in Plains of Ashford for the baron/ess in Cursed shore, the Risen King, the temples when contested (Or guest server)
In Malchor, use ALk for that Champ Risen knight, you won’t find anyone (Mentally sane) that will help you kill that trash. If the Risen worshippers are up, hop on GW2stuff and check a server where “Eye of Zhaitan” is up. Much easier than the champion, totally OP worshipper, as it doesn’t stand on the skill point but wanders the corridors.

saalle.4623:

I hate trinity,thanks Anet for not putting this unfair feature in game that always make certain classes welcome in groups wile others (usually assassins) are not welcomed and cant find pt entire day for a dungeon

Coughs Rangers Coughs Necromancers Coughs Engineers Coughs WARS ONLY ZERK GEARCHECK

Long, tedious, hard to find a decent team of decent players not to have it turning into a nigthmare, and most of all, I simply despise all that steampunk trash.

My advise for you(us):
-Go in Rangers forum, study the meta-build and use it(Never forget spotter).
-Put zerker gear on you.
-Choose your pets with some brain, not like "this one is more fluffy - ".
-Hide that longbow, keep it to kill Golem Mark II to farm Dragonite.
-Seal that shortbow into a metal box and throw it into the sea.
-Grab a sword and a warhorn.
-Spam might with your warhorn.
-Use skills that improve your damage, not that make you more bunker. (Frost Spirit#1)
-Join teams of people with a brain. Avoid the classic “AC P3 SPEDE RNU 100000AP++++GOGOGOGO ZERK ONLY PROS fzxw!!!!!!!!” trash. If needed, make your own LFG, won’t take you long to fill a team.
