Guild Wars 2

I went for Gizal Mistborn. Mistborn because I was reborn from the mists – also referencing a bit to skyrim with dragonborn.

Gizal is one of the names in Babylonian mythology for underworld which references to the underworld in Guild Wars universe as part of the mists.

It’s not final though, may change something. Somehow the two names don’t fit together very well. Mistborn also is very clichée which I don’t like but it’s okay for a Beta character’

Don’t compare apples and oranges. You can buy a lot of 3 year old games for almost free. Do you complain when you buy a new game on steam for 30€ and someone else 3 years later for 5€in a summer sale?

What the veterans got is 3 years of playing an MMO while new players missed that out. My god, this is getting ridiculous and every kittening hour a new thread about this ‘unfair’ treatment is finding it’s way into this forum.

Oh, it’s horrible you can’t get more than 30k AP. Gosh guys, go out and do something else, really… I want to have your problems ^^

Sylvari are by far the most complex and interesting to build up. Their build is almost human-like. Additionally they have a rather complex colour scheme with their glow and the fact that Sylvari armor adopts the colours of your body.

So, to specify the OPs statement: Humans, Sylvari and Norn aren’t affected ‘by bad armor design’. Imho they do a good job overall. The constant complaints about ridiculous nitpicking clipping finds makes me angry.

Yeah they work, you can create one and play one run dungeons and even kill enemies!

I am an avid player of both Ele and Ranger and think Ranger is easier to play, you die less. The DPS isn’t bad for Ranger, really… Don’t know what you mean but if you trait with piercing arrows, full zerker and the shorter LB cooldown you can dish out a lot DPS in group fights. Yes, Ele does more, no discussion. But it is an Ele, it’s the epitome of DPS :-) On the other hand I had a really hard time to kill the last story seaon 2 boss with Ele, died about 3-4 times due to squishiness and there was also a bug that didn’t damage the boss during burn phase.

They simply should make them indestructible and following by default. I see myself so often without the spirit be cause I casted it and I can’t destroy it, moving to the next place with the skill still in followup mode. This sucks. It’s not that those spirits are super OP. Banners are stronger, are mobile and indestructible. All the benefits – no downside… Explain, please.

You could ask the same: Why has thief shadow refuge – a non elite skill and the mesmer needs an elite slot for shorter stealth (Mass Invisibility without PU)? It’s called balance: thief is master of stealth and has better access than others.

So same with Shiro stance and thief basilisk venom.

I would appreciate that. Actually for all classes. But then again, we don’t get anything from this. I also want additional slots for food, gizmos, tonics, mini pets etc. Almost every kittening MMO lets us choose and freely rearrange additional skill slots for this, but not GW2. Why the kitten?

Well, what you show is not only against lich but general counter play. Don’t see why you think the lich is now kitten be cause of this.

Sell it to me, Anet, players, anyone. Tell me why I should spend my money on the expansion.

Be cause 50 or even 100 is not much for an MMO with no subs and you got 2-3 years of content usually for free aside from cosmetic fluff.

Childish, egocentric non-necessary thread.

Ultimately, those rumors may go back to one certain person at NCSoft who thought it was not okay to have an asian themed area in a western game. We don’t know.

It is hard to follow such mind sets since Asians have a vastly different view – well, mostly the older generation – the generation who is in authority.

I wonder why we didn’t hear anything from all the staff who was so talkative before release. Like Jeff Grubb or Eric Flannum.

I have a theory, why people hate Trahearne: the game is mainly played by 20-30 year old males which are full of testosterone and want to be or feel like a hero. Since they think Trahearne takes this credit, people hate him.

I like him and don’t think his voice acting is bad.

I never get kicked, but I only have zerker gear, and usually run meta.

But then again, I observe just horrible gameplay as well, like the auto attackers doing next to zero damage. And then they wonder why they get kicked? I am usually very nice and don’t say a word but I bear a grudge against them.

I can’t read the title, can you make it bigger? Like capital-capital letters?

They left out the other two skill names of the Shiro stance. I hope there will be a skill called ‘Impossible Odds’. Such an iconic skill.

I couldn’t kill the veteran giant outsie fort caer (first WP in Cursed Shore, Orr). Even with the two healing skills. Yeah of course I didn’t know all the skills that well, but there was lack of block, vigor, damage prevention etc. It just feels super weak and it was mainly due to the horrible damage output. Yeah it is not damage themed, but even then I expect to kill this ridiculous giant faster.

The class needs weapon swap. I don’t get what the problem is with that: Ele has 20 Skills, Engineer has Kits and the other professions can choose from a set of utilities/elites/heal skills. So for god’s sake: give us weapon swap, everything else is just stupid. Oh, and being at it: remove energy costs from weapon skills.

I just want to see a critical word from lordkrall once . Simply every single critique about this game is null and void for him. There are a lot of arbitrary complaints of course, but lordkrall manages to defend every single thing. Always. Ever.

Lol, this thread made my day :joy:

1-2 years ago I tried to get the legend and earlier dawn. I spent about 2’000 gold back then and never got anything. I want to mention that precursors – especially dawn – back then was around 250-300g. I ultimately bought it for 300g from the TP. Gold had a higher value though.

Who cares about PvP in this game anyway ^^ If you want intense battles go play a MOBA.

Did something happen a day ago? What is this discussion about? Did they mention there’s only two maps?

Erm, where is 50 bucks that much worth.

A tattoo in my country costs about 300€ and a non-fancy dinner for two 100. On the other side I earn about 50 in an hour.

Anyway, if you are unsure just wait. The game won’t run away, it’s an MMO for that matter.

I am shocked how inept some players are… Not even consider looking through the option menus or trying stuff differently or check the wiki etc.

If you map it on a mouse button you can use instant or on release ground targeting. Try that, it’s worth a lot.

I’d love to have double strikes from Shiro legend. But we’ll see it very soon.

The original Shiro was such high level (one of the highest in game I think being lvl33 in Hard Mode) that he double striked anyway, making his Impossible Odds even stronger by hitting multiple enemies 4 times!

Use fast casting on release or even instant. Map wells or any other ground targeted spell onto your mouse buttons. I suggest using an MMO mouse like the Razer Naga or Logitech G600. It’s so much better, believe me.

Just read that the new Final Fantasy XIV expansion Heavensward got an direct x11 upgrade. So it’s possible. So, are you really gonna stay with this 10+ year old renderer for the next couple of years? It’s ridiculous.

Found this happy fellow in CM.
Was told that we are skipping the trash after Gunpowder Morgan but somehow he interpreted that as: Let’s run in and aggro EVERYTHING!
When confronted about his Leeroy Jenkins like habits and inability to read he threw a little hissy fit.

On the side note, what is the point of blocking someone and then continuing to spam them? :/

Holy, that is really rude. Can you tell me what you told him? If you were more or less polite his reaction is really out of this world. Luckily, I never had such confrontation in this game.

Every more or less capable gamer can do the achievements. It just takes time and patience. The lumi armor just shows that you put effort in this and got something that not everyone has.

Gamers these days… no patience. Everything has to be served on a silver platter.

I remember when Shiro was kinda new to GW1 lore and there was a discussion whether he’s a warrior or assassin. Now they describe him as an assassin though I still think he borrows a lot from a warrior. Also, he uses his own skillset and doesn’t really fit to either profession – compared to most bosses in GW1.

That said I don’t think that the Shiro stance will have stealth. I assume this one particular skill we see in the HOT trailer is a single move and hits several targets.

During the old days in GW1, when favor of the gods was earned through winning in the hall of heroes, 60 – 70% of the whole time the European servers were having it. I think it’s just very popular in Europe.

I soloed all content, and only needed help twice for the achievements. If you have problems try a different class like faceroll warrior or ranger. Ele has a rather high skill cap. It’s not hard, just a matter of tactics…

Same here, I think community interaction – especially if you test a new class – is rather important. Don’t know why they turned that off.

This is something that bugged me all the time. Bosses should be big, impressive and overwhelming. Instead we have a lot of generic ‘Legendary Krait Witch’. There is no name, no impressive special loot, nothing… a huge miss. People want and love that.

I don’t get it, the video just shows how someone goes in like any other class, and gets this debuff and gets thrown out? What’s so special? Also, what the hell 360p for a video these days?!?

The revenant feels weak at the moment. And I really had problems using all the skills with this rather complicated energy system. Then you want to use this skill, a second later it doesn’t work cuz you lack the mana you need etc. They really have to tweak something. Especially weapons skills: energy and cooldown?

Good post, I agree with the underwhelming feel etc. I have even problems to kill the veteran giants in Orr which are a cakewalk with most other professions.

moiraine.2753:

If it gave atleast 2g it would be worth my time.

You point something out. I mentioned this after they changed the dungeon rewards 2 or some years ago.

This particular reward (1g for SE2) was for me the ‘proof’ that they don’t play their own game, it’s completely out of place.

broFenix.1632:

:( I like that confirmation, helps me stop salvaging when using kits to salvage tons of greens. I can’t quite see the yellow border when in “salvage mode” as well as others might be able to see. Don’t remove, please.

Doubleclick savalge kit, type ‘masterpiece’ or simply ‘master’ in the inventory search and you’ll have all green items to doubleclick.

I want to see one single thread where lordkrall is not defending this game in a cheap way.

His point was entirely valid though. Whether or not you’re interested in what they revealed in those 8 weeks, they still revealed some information about the game. The pretty big one being Guild Halls.

It’s true that his arguments aren’t always cheap, sorry for that. Sometimes imo he’s right. But I never saw a single post where he’s critical about the game.

@OP: I am fine until now, they need their time and they’ll show us when it’s ready. We all hoped for a release during late summer or early fall and it seems as long as they hold up information the longer it takes. Now late 2015 or even early 2016 seems more and more realistic…

I want to see one single thread where lordkrall is not defending this game in a cheap way.

There’s always one who complains. The bound stats to traits was a major complaint and now they removed it and others complain.

IMO it gives more versatility to remove the stats to certain traits, that was truly an awful idea to begin with. Finally they removed it. The OPs ‘versatility for dungeons’ isn’t needed anyway, just go berzerker, you don’t need those bits of other stats anyway…

We’ll have to see how it looks at release, but until now my concerns are the following: only two active legends to switch and only one single weapon set. I can’t switch my utilities, elites and heals individually. That’s a rather big problem and the diversity is certainly lacking. I hope they will add a few tweaks to this.

BTW: will the revenant have underwater skills? Well, I am rather sure they have to do this. Otherwise how can he fight underwater?

Such threads are absolutely for nothing, there is no constructive critique why you ’aren’t excited anymore’. What do you expect is a result of this?

Lol what do you expect from a game. It’s mainly played by male teens and young twens. It’s a rather harsh environment :-) If you get mad on ‘visual abuse’ (lol absolutely hilarious!) or harsh words, just don’t play games, go home, stay home, close reality and/or go to a doctor and ask him how to get a thicker skin.

Dude, chill. Just post your own lfg and don’t start to blame guys with good gear. It’s not a big hassle to have ascended. People usually run dungeons for tokens and p2 is longer than 3, no matter what you say here. They rather do another dungeon for the gold.

You have one point though: why giving us challenging content if people won’t do it? So that’s how Anet can do it: give unique rewards, give us a title track, give us reputation or whatever. It worked in GW1 with UW and FoW, they had unique drops and most runs yielded at least some good items like ectos/shards etc.

Well, a mount would be still cooler.
