Guild Wars 2

I LOVE this idea OP.

I don’t know if Anet will ever adopt it but I wish they would. Seems like a pretty cool feature.

anyone streaming atm?

I wish we had an option to play a profession personal story as well as or instead of the racial one.

I want to be able to see my hands and weapons while we’re at it.

I was disappointed that it doesn’t let me face my character when on the airship… or any other rail for that matter.

I want ugly faces and fat body types.

Don’t get me wrong the massive amount of super models is nice and all but how about some diversity.

Do the Lunar New Year Fireworks bonus stack with these?

Liberis.9573:

Someone told me that dueling is finally coming to GW2 in HoT, but I haven’t been able to find any official sources confirming that.

Anyone know whether or not we finally get to duel each other?

It’s possible but nothing definitive yet.

I don’t think it would be considered a “major feature” so it still may be coming to Tyria. Let’s hope so. Especially if it’s isolated with a more emphasis on making it a spectator sport.

I still hate her.

Not in a lore/rp way either. Just in general I think she was a poorly executed character that just flopped. Personally, I look forward to the day she is forgotten (well as close as possible anyway)

Plus, we have such a wide variety of high quality characters in Tyrian history I don’t think she really measures up.

(PS: Sorry if that came across as super negative. I don’t mean for any of it to be personal OP. Scarlet just makes me throw up a little.)

Cant have capes becuse of chars and clipping.

The new wings are soooooooo clippings-free I really see how much of a great excuse it is!

I seriously laughed out loud. Well done.

I hope so. I don’t really like the shoulders on that outfit but could think of a few it would look great on.

Ralanost.8913:

How about more stuff to earn in game instead? I would rather play the game than pay the game.

My thoughts exactly.

Neftera.3758:

I’ve only done female humanoid faces so far, and believe me this has been a kittenload of work. I’d be happy beyond measure if you’ll look at them and give me feedback. My emphasis is on finding interesting, uncommon faces that are strikingly UGLY.

I like your thought here.

I hope we get some that swing the other way too. Something a little more rough would be nice.

Huh? :o You really find them ugly? They’re all supermodels of haute couture Maybe you like more normal faces but you’ve got to admit at least some of them are great! Milagros Schmoll, Daria Werbowy, Gemma Ward, and oh my Jessica Stam! Anyway, I don’t mind but of course I would have preferred for you to explain what you think a bit more!

Sorry. Bad wording on my part.

I meant I would like to see some more ugly faces added not just more pretty ones.

My bad.

dietzero.3514:

You were a white knight, Vayne. More a biege knight now.

Holy kitten! I love that. Or how about an offwhite knight.

But on topic, I think that if this was really an issue we’d have seen far more complaints about it since launch.

Considering how complaints are often met on these forums I’m not surprised it would be drowned out by others and by flaming.

Randulf.7614:

Charrs and humans will never be friends. Never! Never forget Ascalon!!

Remember Ascalon!

Pandaman.4758:

I’m sure they have a tribute to him in Star Trek Online, which is a far more appropriate venue than GW2.

Agreed. STO should have priority in this.

Although if Anet did decide to do something I wouldn’t be upset at all.

I really like this idea op.

Having a real in depth system for this could be pretty cool too especially if it was tied to crafting some how.

Sorry you’re getting flamed so hard OP.

I agree with you. The starting bank space does feel too low. I really did think we would get at least 3 bank slots, but not much we can do about it (besides spending Cash or Gold).

Some other people suggested using extra guild bank spaces as an alternative and I agree that is probably your best option outside of spending the actual gold or cash.

Since a workaround already exist I wish Anet would just incorporate it into the actual players bank somehow. Maybe make a way to spend Karma or something for extra bank space?

Q: What is Anet’s reason for introducing the mastery system?

Q: Will all zones be accessible at launch or will they be released over time like the living story?

Q: What were the other 3 names that were being considered for the expansion?

I see a lot of post by people wanting a bigger role in the in game universe and think that’s cool but personally I would like to have the ability to choose a simpler path.

Something like joining the Seraph or Lion Guard in a smaller role. I think a way we could get this would be to use the mastery system. Something like completing “x” number of dynamic events in certain zones or crafting in certain areas or something.

Example:
Craft 100 “x” level items in Divinities Reach and Complete “x” number of missions in Queensdale, Kessex Hills, Brisban Wildlands, or Harathi Hinterlands as a human character.

Reward: Gain membership in the Seraph Guard.

Replayability: The more someone focuses on this track the more ranks they gain in the Seraph. Throw in a title, a custom finisher, maybe associated level appropriate armor, and some occasional loot chest for good measure.

I even think race gating some of these would be cool (for lore continuity and all). Plus, that encourages people to buy character slots, level alts, play more ,etc. Obviously race neutral options should be available too. Maybe dive deeper into the 3 orders more or add some new groups players can associate with (considering what happened to the Pact.)

Anyway, just a thought I had. I have no clue if something like this is even possible or worth Anets time. I do hope it is though.

(EDIT: Changed Specialization to Mastery. Got them mixed up. lol)

Expected the thread to be about Queen Jennah…

oh well.

Yes to housing please.

Even if it’s just part of the Guild Hall.

Drow.2081:

I’ve been a casual player coming and going from GW2 as I get caught up in various single player console games. I just came back after a long hiatus. I thought would be nifty to try a mesmer for a bit. So this new guild in chat is asking for help forming up and I’m like okay np. Then I’m on this mesmer goofing around with weapon skins and I get a PM saying, “Just a reminder, full representation is required by our guild. Have a nice day.” This from my main guild on my main character.

OMG what?!? I don’t think I can politely express how offended I am atm so I’m just going to quit here.

How do you peeps feel about guilds pushing you to represent them on all your characters?

I’m fine with guilds doing it but I’m not a member of those kind of guilds. It always seemed a little too pushy and demanding to me.

Not all humans are bad…

Death to the Queen!

Kaleban.9834:

I’d assume that eventually they’d include Legends from each campaign, with an eye towards balancing heroes with villains. So here’s a barebones list with some basic ideas…

From Prophecies:
Prince Rurik – heavy single target melee, taunt
Vizier Khilbron – medium ranged AoE, CC, fear

From Factions:
Master Togo – PBAoE, retaliation
Shiro – heavy melee AoE, resistance

From Nightfall:
Kormir – support, steals all boons on character and dies. Takes all XP and loot from kill
Mallyx – heavy ranged AoE CC (fear, taunt and slow included), heavy ranged AoE condition spam

From Eye of the North:
Jalis Ironhammer – melee PBAoE, ranged single target CC (think hammer throws)
Glint (seems odd to channel the Great Destroyer) – heavy reflects, blocks

All this with only one edit.

I use MultiWars2

http://alessandrogar.io/?page_id=207

It’s pretty good and really easy to use.

Here is a guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEomRz4aVL0&feature=iv&src_vid=Q6ASeCK9gaY&annotation_id=annotation_1279186503

As stated above though be sure to use it in a way that complies with Anets policies.

I really hope the languages are actually audible. I’d love to really hear the native tongues of all the different races. At least until my characters “learn” their language. Then maybe translate it.

I have not clue how possible this is btw. :P

Yeah!

btw, this thread is really cool. well done OP.

Nope, I’d buy exotics or ascended or whatever for all my characters.

I like the more realistic look anyway. All the legendaries are a bit too much imo.

lol, well all that aside I would love to see more variety.

Plus, I think the community would embrace it pretty well. We seems to have a fairly creative bunch.

dietzero.3514:

It should start low and scale higher, the more you buy. Linking something as critical as space to gems is severely punishing to new players and people with multiple characters/accounts, and the problem is only going to get worse. A static gold cost is a far better option.

Currently having to buy ~1000 gold worth of gems to max bank tabs and ONE character’s bag slots is ridiculous.

Agreed OP.

Personally, I think anything available on the Gem Store should be available (with reasonable effort) in game without ever having to purchase gems. Obviously though having the Gems would still make it a lot easier to get them. But it’s all about balance and Anet has to make money some how.

Can we go with another name?

Death Knight sounds too corny.

Someone posted this awhile back. I thought it looked pretty cool as far as the “cape” option goes.

With the addition of Guild Halls I wanted to make the suggestion that we get a far more detailed Guild Emblem creator. Maybe make it an upgrade in the Guild Hall or something.

Seems a little weird to me that certain FPSs have more advanced options in this area than a big name MMO does.

Anyway just a thought.

Torsailr.8456:

Revenant is a profession. Professions don’t have starting areas.

This is more likely than no to be the case.

With that said it sure would have been cool if the story would have been more connected to the professions than the races.

Reaven.3958:

Gilosean.3805:

No thanks.

We already have character-bound-hunting with traits. And character bound skills too. I have absolutely no interest in yet another character-bound system that would just mean I have to replay X amount of content to get back to where I started.

This. Having to endlessly regrind old content for each character does not constitute ‘replyability’. If the content is good gameplay and makes you want to do it again for the fun of it….that’s replayability. I think worming these pve masteries like wvw masteries will be great.

Yup.

no no no…

Gratz Fumo!

Finishing this for the first time is pretty exciting.

I honestly don’t see it.

Sorry.

I appreciate what WoW was/is but all I see is a beautiful game and skill in GW2 and a clunky old cartoon in WoW.

here is a description from Wowwiki.com

Killing Spree is a rogue ability learned at level 80 for those with the Combat specialization. It is an instant ability that allows rogues to deal a large amount of burst damage to one or more enemies in range.

I cant find a decent video of a rogue jumping from character to character using this skill. but appears to jump from target to target dealing massive damage to multiple enemies nearby, while avoiding damage with each jump.

NVM I found a video that show off the AOE attack of this.

MANLY!

I really wish we had more legendaries that had a more gritty, realistic, or dark look to them. The current batch is a little too shiny and… feminine (wrong word maybe idk… you know what I mean)

Personally I wish mf was unlimited or had a way to exchange x number of mf for champ loot bags.

I honestly don’t see it.

Sorry.

I would love something like this but I have no clue if it’s possible in GW2.

IndigoSundown.5419:

Dueling? With opt out of requests the default, and only in arenas inside cities? Sure. Open FFA in a PvE map? Nope. We’ve got a PvP mode, a PvE mode and a PvDvP mode. I’d rather see developer time put into PvP go to consensual features like the existing PvP options or dueling than into a non-consensual PvP mode that would require them to completely revamp the game.

Sankofa Jimiyu.1567:

I would like to see a selection in voices. 3 or 4, maybe.

Yes to this.

I’d even happily pay for a new voice actor.

Lifestealer.4910:

Cannot use glider anywhere outside of the new map. Can only use it for a short period of time and you do not get a selection of rare version to collect and rub in the face of the poor people.

I got to say I was disappointed when I found out all the details about gliders.

The “epicness” of it during the reveal definitely fizzled out for me after I learned it was for a very limited part of the world.

Meh. Too bad really. Oh well.

Templar.3418:

Yes, we need a war bow!

Not a little girl’s toy…

MANLY!

And you know what we mean you people who are trying to be politically correct. You understand the OP, just go with it.

Yes to all of this.

Rich Fuel.7253:

as we all remember the part with the bandits in silverwastes, u take a buff and you apear hostile to players(they can atk you but you cant attack back) and also seen the same at PoI DEVs can make them selves hostile if they wish.
so my question is : would you like there to be some small arena/out post some place in middle of a PVE map, and wen you just step insdie you can fight other players.
in a nutshell would you like a PVP area inside a PVE zone

As a spectacle absolutely YES!

It would be cool to see some 1v1 or whatever in an arena in specific zones. I’d prefer it be confined like the cages were in the queens pavilion was. Maybe let players bet on the fights too. Could be pretty cool and I could see Gnashblade doing something like this anyway.

Maybe add an arena to new LA once it’s rebuilt. I think lore wise it would work for the expansion too.
