Guild Wars 2

My guardian Pureblade, standing in Rata Sum with the College of Dynamics in the background.

John Widdin.9618:

It’s purely cosmetic. It just hovers above the ground slightly.

Can confirm this, as well as each race having their own little animation for riding the broom; Charr get to surf on their brooms for example

+1 I’m working on crafting my own legendary and I don’t want people to think I bought it off the Trading Post.
I think the only thing that’d be in the way of this is giving people who already crafted a legendary the title, I don’t think the game currently keeps track of who has crafted a legendary weapon in the mystic forge so it’d be hard to determine who to give the title and who not.

Victory.2879:

At the moment there is not enough incentive to defend things which results in karma trains of commanders and zergs going around endlessly recapping and then running off.

Pretty much 90% of what I’ve been doing in WvW lately to get my badges.

Victory.2879:

Badges should not be given out from the JP- they should be earned.

Make badges a part of the reward for participating in wvw and remove them from JP- or better yet remove JP from wvw entirely.

The WvW jumping puzzles are how I get my siege weapons though. If it weren’t for the JPs in WvW, I likely wouldn’t be carrying any siege aside from an arrow cart or two. The 5-10 badges you receive from the JPs are a nice added incentive for me to do them. I have to be careful with how many coins or badges I spend on siege weapons if I ever want a Legendary weapon.

Victory.2879:

How about X number of badges for every 100 supplies used to repair (not to build siege though, that could be abused badly)

This sounds good, it’d give me another incentive to repair walls/gates aside from doing it so the enemy can’t get in.

Victory.2879:

X number for every 100 bessies escorted

Even if people would start only escorting dolyaks, they’d still need to help cap towers or keeps to actually be able to start escorting; I don’t see a problem with this being added in.

You can even get them from Small Wintersday Gifts, see attachment (taken a couple of days ago). First time I’ve got stuffing from the Small Wintersday Gifts, or any of the Wintersday Gifts for that matter.

Personally, I would like to be able to right click someone or just their name and have a “mail to” option.

Good news! This feature already exists in-game

I’m disappointed as well. I was looking forward to playing Toypocalypse with my friends instead of with complete strangers

You want a quiver? Make one.

I’m actually trying to make one, I only need that kitten Vial of the Mists Essence that doesn’t want to loot! I’m cursed, seriously :/
Other than that, I want the ability to dye those Quivers because a Brown stain over my pretty Celestial Armor is not pretty :/

You only need the Vial? I have the Vial and enough skill points, but nowhere near enough Ectos or T6 mats… How did you manage to get 50 Ectos and 250 T6 mats? o.e

Don’t forget that you can even be kicked for inactivity if you spend too much time at character creation. It seems the game registers activity only as “Character has moved” and “Character has used a skill”.

As far as I know, you should always get a notice that you will be kicked for inactivity in X seconds. I think the notices have always started at 50 or 60 seconds for me.

Until typing is recognized as actual activity, I guess the best option is moving your character even a tiny bit.

Aside from the above, some GW2 fan sites are also giving away codes that you can redeem for in-game items. For example, I’ve gotten a nice Dragon Emblem town clothing shirt from DragonSeason and Nerdybookahs is giving away bundles and those same shirts these few weeks as well.

Note: Redeemed codes for in-game items will be mailed to you upon logging out and back in.

I like the idea of a hammer for the Engineer as well. In fact, at one point I liked the idea so much (before reading this topic) that I thought of some skills for it :P

As for my reasoning why a hammer would be good for Engineer… The Hammer just seems the most logical to me and it would allow the Engineer to fight melee without the use of the Tool Kit. A mace simply feels and sounds less Engineery in my opinion

My ideas for Engineer Hammer skills:

If anybody wants to expand on my ideas, suggest better ones, etc. feel free to do so.
Would like to know if others think Hammer or Mace would be good for an Engineer to be able to use, and possibly hear of more skill ideas from others.

Ynna.8769:

• Did anyone test out Merciful Intervention? The way it reads now is that it no longer teleports, just creates the healing effect around the Guardian, which is the laziest “fix” ever.

The way I read it is that they fixed a possible bug that caused Merciful Intervention to not be instant when traited to be instant, and when you teleport to an ally the healing area is centered around yourself healing all nearby players rather than around the ally you teleported to.

Haven’t tested it in-game yet and have hardly used it though, but that’s how I understood that change.

Mynnx.2789:

Same issue, 2nd research team won’t follow.

Incredibly frustrating as I made it through the mob respawn bug which made progress extremely slow.

The second research team refuses to follow me to the southern exit twice. One time solo, second time with a friend. Both times same issue.

Wondering why this hasn’t been addressed yet…
