Guild Wars 2

I agree that these threads are ten times more annoying than anything said in game.

I’m sure if there was a way to make every player see their own main character in the trailer, they’d do that. There just… isn’t. At least not for the trailers they release through their website, social networks and stuff.

I find it a stretch to use this “fact of life” (and at this point in time it is one) to conclude that your character plays no central role in the story. I certainly don’t feel that way.

They already exist in your mind, might as well create them! No other player will see all your characters at the same time anyway.

Here’s some things that I hope to see implemented with one of the next patches:

• Achievement: Daily Maguuma Wastes Killer
• Achievement: “Blighted Bane” slayer achievement for slaying Mordremoth’s minions
• PvP reward track: region Maguuma Wastes (to unlock after Orr region)
• PvP reward track: to do with the current living world chapter
• Maguuma Wastes themed weapon skin set
• Giant sand worms
• And, for the love of Dwayna, put some giants for us to slay on the new maps.
• A new, permanent dungeon would be awesome too.

What are yours?

hahaha

I’m going to pretend that I haven’t read anything about this in the lore forum and word this from a GW2 only, lore n00b point of view:

• So far, Sylvari couldn’t be corrupted/branded/etc and were immune to dragon magic. It seems fair if they’re especially vulnerable to the jungle dragon’s corruption magic.

• The Sylvari were introduced as the purest and most serene of race (pinacle of it all is Trahearne, most boring of the humble). Living world wise, they have gotten a lot of really bad press lately. Cannach, Scarlet and now Aerin. It looks like the story of season 2 could be not only defeating the Jungle Dragon, but also having to “rescue” the entire Sylvari race in the process.

I know that this is a very superficial way of looking at this, but since many players have no in-depth understanding of the lore here, this might be exactly what ANet is trying to communicate to the casual player base.

Awesome, I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ve got for me!

I know, I know.

But look at it from this perspective. They added the PvP tracks because people ran out of things to do. It wouldn’t have made too much sense to add this into the game and give every player something to do EXCEPT for those who already did the content and are already bored.

So now you have something to do. Be grateful.

I, for my part, had unlocked the story dungeons before but found it enjoyable to play through them again with my friends. It had been a while. It also gave some others the chance to “catch up” (i.e. we took in a newbie PUG for 5th player).

That’s awesome. Super Adventure Box Balalaika Dubstep? What a crazy combination.

Love it, will add it to things to try out.

For the new update, I created a look for my main fashioned after Fremen outfits (Dune).

I’m only 90% satisfied with the look and am looking for further inspiration. If you have time and this speaks to you, I would like to see if you can come up with something I like better than my own.

Human female engi. The spice must flow.

Llamas are beautiful creatures. Super happy to see them in game.

I just don’t get why ANet released the llama finisher weeks ago when nobody cared because it was so random.

I assume that Maguuma Wastes is just a different “country” altogether – look at the portrait backgrounds in character selection.

I think that ANet probably forgot to add a daily for that though, and didn’t think of the Maguuman Killer one being “mislabeled” now.

I totally support you people, the lightning jump is very unreliable and the slightest lag (or older computer) makes it unusable.

In the mean time though, there is another way out of the starting area. Grab the wind jump skill and run to the right cliff edge instead of keeping to the left. With only one high jump, you can cross the cliff there and run into the general area. Grab the waypoint, done.

Kills in Maguuma Wastes don’t count for Maguuma Killer.

Maybe Maguuman Killer needs to be renamed to “Maguuma Jungle Killer”.

Dry Top jumping puzzle does not count towards monthly jumping puzzles.

If this is a permanent zone then I think it should.

However, i think anet is more concerned with time at this point. Thats one of the reasons they want to do outfits now, because its less time splitting up the peices and seeing how they interact with other peices.

That’s why I don’t understand that they put in the time to create two separate outfits but then deny each character one of the two based on the gender and sell it as one.

If you’re pressed for time, then why design something completely different for the two genders?

If you have the time to design two, why not sell them separately and make more money?

I really like this idea/the thread!

I, too, would like it better without the “cellulite windows”.

Other than that I can say that I like both the male and the female version, and I agree that they should be two separate outfits, both available to both genders.

(Also, they should be armor skins. … … … … …)

So, is it on the TP? Do we actually know how to get it yet? If not, then why was this topic moved to “player helping players” if this is a questions players are unable to answer… only the devs would be able to answer it…?

DCing removes aspects, too, and that can happen to anybody

The skritt burglar is female.

My frame rates are okay, but I get random skill lag of up to 10 seconds (!!!).

I know it’s not my network – my boyfriend and I are on the same router and both lag out, but not simultaneously.

Greatsword, hm?

ANet: adds Katana, makes sure that thief can’t use it

ANet: adds Chiroptophobia, makes sure that necromancer can’t us it. :p

I feel your pain.

Greatsword, hm?

New orchestral music

is amazing. Love it love it love it.

I reliably happens for me every single time I log into guild wars – the inventory window will be a little narrower than I left it.

On top of that, it randomly resizes to “tiny”.

“Hate propane!”

Yup, that would be nice.

And while we’re at it, how about pets?

Oh goodness, always with the TP… my client usually doesn’t crash, but temporarily freezes, and my game starts lagging bigtime.

I don’t really care about the chest, but I still don’t have my “Wurmicidal” achievement despite beating the wurm several times, and it’s getting very frustrating.

Wasn’t it recently confirmed by a dev to be a bug? In a video or something?

There have been other, massive threads about this.

Yes, many of us are really disappointed that we were promised to be able to play with all our friends, and now can’t.

No, merging server farms would not be impossible to do.

It is very annoying.

For completeness’ sake, the disco lights have been back as of the June 3/4 patch.

Vol.7601:

I don’t quite get the concept of charging 200 gems for previous releases.

I don’t mind it in concept – after all, it’s a ‘convenience’ fee for accessing something you did not experience in the 2 week period, but who would pay 200 gems for a story instance that lasts no more than 10 minutes?

If I understand correctly, the 200 gems unlock not only the story instance, but also the achievements, the ability to gain rewards, and possibly changes to the open world such as (now I’m making up things) new dialogue in existing NPCs, new NPCs altogether, doors on buildings that wouldn’t open before, portals to new maps…

There’s every possibility that these chapters will be worth 200 gems (10-15 gold, only available to level 80s so it’s definitely very very affordable).

If it was armor pieces, I would have bought it.

Even if it was town clothes, I would have…

But without mixing and matching, unfortunately, this is no good to me, which is such a shame as it looks stunning.

I don’t mind the new faces not being super special, but I think ANet are doing themselves a huge disservice by not allowing people to preview them unless they already own a total makeover kit.

Love the design of the phoenix weapons but seriously, did they have to be on fire? Again? Because the sheer amount of special flaming skins we already have in the game wasn’t already a running joke?

If they had water or air effects on them (or no effects at all for that matter), I would have loved to get them.

I’ll stick with the Dragon Jade set for now.

When the autobalancer hits and you volunteer to join the weaker team, the win does not count towards the achievement.

I use it on my “pirate” outfit, and picked it exclusively for the parrot. :P

Oh. It’s an outfit? … man

When I saw the pictures I thought it was armor… I was already planning out mixed armor.

That’s no good to me then.

I had a lot of fun doing them <3

I don’t think I would have done four in the same style, I get bored easily. So mixed media is perfect for me.

I’m pretty sure I did both things when they disco lights first appeared, but to make sure I can go through everything again… With today’s patch, they didn’t come back though, so I’ll wait until they do and report back. Thank you!

As someone who has been playing since release and religiously (and sometimes painfully) picked up and hoarded every single LS item (except the karka shoulders, which I sadly destroyed):

I don’t give a skritt.

If somebody who only joined the game in February need the fervid censer or molten gloves to complete their outfit idea, the best of luck to them.

I’d rather see more cool, thoughtful outfits out there than feel like a special little snowflake showing off my “I was there” items.

So can you explain to me why my graphics card magically fixes itself at the exact point in time an update is released… and magically breaks again a couple updates later?

This morning, my boyfriend said – “I saw in the patch notes that there was an update – go check if your disco lights are gone!”, and sure enough they were…

I know it’s the exact point in time because I log on GW2 every day, and during the last six months I have been paying special attention to this. Maybe I should have kept a diary. This never ever changes in between patches – and there is enough time in between patches that, were it on my end, it really really _should. At this point, I would know if it ever did.

(And I have yet to see these artifacts in any other game.)

A little update, the square disco light artifacts come and go, but always with a patch.

For instance, I’ve had them on my screen constantly (no exceptions) when looking at dark areas, since the April 15 feature patch.

As of this morning after patching my client to the latest update (update #2 after the four winds release), they’re gone again.

ANet, whatever it is that is different in the code that you rolled out in the last 24 hours, THAT’s the not-broken version of the game. Can we keep that, please?

I kind of suspected that people wouldn’t be doing this for very long and got my achievement out of the way early on. I’m glad I did it.

It was fun doing it one night (I was with an organized TTS group and we were on a “gold” streak) but I don’t think I’ll be going back much.

I agree.

I see why they feel the need to constantly introduce new currencies, sucks for me as a player but I see the point.

Clear communication would certainly take the edge off, though!

As always: yes, please let us play the mini games with (and against!) our friends.

“p” -> create squad
“p” -> the disband button says “Disban”
