Guild Wars 2

Ty Fairymore rep given any other finds would be awesome!

I have a Z-Board and am having issues with my keyboard not responding. I also have a Logitech keyboard and it does the same thing. It works fine out of game as I am typing this post with no issues. When I try to play though is a different story, it responds off and on causing ALOT of deaths. Anyone else having these issues also? As I said before its not the keyboard as I have 2 that I have tried.

ty Konig. I see you on the lore forums alot giving wise well put posts and replys. I sent them an email with what im doing. So lets see if I get a response.

oh yeahhhhhhhhhhh. whoops. brain fart.

The Maguuma tree was actually planted by our characters in gw1. so we the players actually planted the seed that grew into the first tree.

Ok I have some more links to go through.

I found this http://www.guildwarsinsider.com/guild-wars-insider-interview-ree-soesbee/5/
Still not enough info…….. >_>

“GWI: Mr. Agony also had a question. This will be the last one before we wrap up. Can you tell us about the Norn exodus and how exactly the Spirits of the Wild were involved?

Ree: Absolutely. Jormag arrived far north of the Norn and started his way down. So the Norn had some preparation that there was something awful going on and that it was coming their way. A lot of their great heroes went to go fight it and didn’t come back. Hero after hero was going and dying. The Spirits of the Wild are very invested in the Norn, more than the Human gods even. I think they have more of a one on one relationship, where as Melandru has many worshipers, many priests – the church of Melandru that is. The Spirit of Wolf feels a kinship with you because you have the Spirit of Wolf in you. So when you call on him, he gives you his wisdom. Its a little more personal and a little less organized. So when Wolf’s hero dies, Wolf knows it, Wolf feels it. When an entire swath of Owl shaman are wiped out, Owl feels that pain in a very keen sense like its children are dying. So when those spirits looked and saw that not only their favored heroes of the Norn race, but the race was really on the verge of wiping itself out, they know the Norn are not going to flee. The Norn are just by nature not going to turn away from this challenge, because they feel like someone is going to take it down. One of us is going to be able to do it. And the moment that the Spirits realized that, that the hero is not here yet or not ready yet, the Spirits kinda have to step in or all the Norn will fall.

And so the Spirits, several of them – four of them – Snow Leopard, Raven, Wolf and Bear, said “We will lead them south to a place where they can grow strong again. Where a hero will rise among them and come and lead them against Jormag.” Some of the spirits who had taken the most damage or who was most suited to hold back Jormag, such as Owl, said “We’ll stay behind and we’ll do what we can here.”
When those spirits weren’t heard from again, it became pretty clear that they were destroyed or otherwise taken out by the dragon.

The happiness in that story is that the Norn firmly believe a hero will come. And the Spirits of the Wild that have lead them to the south and established Hoelbrak where they can learn and train, and they believe it to."

What was the Final Battle like? How did it feel when Jormag awakened? What was the weather like? etc. I need alot more info like I said lol.

I really need more though. I dont have enough info on the Encounter that drove them out. Where did Jormag strike first, then second, then third, etc. Who were the mightiest Norn Champions that tried to kill Jormag but couldn’t. What gave them the idea of using that scroll in the first place. These are just a few of the things I need to know. Any Devs wanna help that would be awesome.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Asgeir and this talks about the scroll as well.

Yes the wiki does not have enough. I meant to mention that sorry.

Im working on something I cannot divulge. But I need the entire history surrounding the Norn’s Fight with Jormag that drove them out of the Northern Shiverpeaks. If anyone can help me please do so. I will be actively giving rep to any that help.

Dokuroizo.5348:

I have just read The Wheel of Time series. And I would love to have something they called the Asha’man. Basically in MMO terms they would be a light armor melee class with magic at their disposal.

Not the stuff the guardian does, that’s all holy and benevolent and kitten. I want to waste destruction with my trusty sword and magic. You could give it different ways to be played. Each trait path would represent some playstyle.

Swordsmanship
Light Armor
Heavy Armor
Offensive Magic
Defensive Magic

To make it short, a sword/spear melee class

Alternatively I would love to see something spear focussed. I really miss halberds in this game. Make it a monk focussing on spears/halberds/bo-staffs and meditations

My two cents

Kinda like a Mageblade, or another term would be a Battlemage?

Michael.4791:

@Radio Isotope: I’ll take a chance on botter reporting. I don’t care about reprimands for myself when reporting. I’ll deal with problems as soon as they are arising. I guess the changes are due to the fact that some used reporting others because they were angry about them and not because they were really botting. Such an instance would be revealed through the chat protocol. It is useless for botters because there would be no chat to prove anything. So in fact it looks like a change because of the fact that people abused the bot reports for totally personal griefing. I can live with that. If I report it is for botting. Any report will be declared according the incident.

Im still not doing that as it has Red letters that mean bad things will happen. Im not comfortable taking such a risk when I enjoy this game so much and dont want to waste my money or time on a risk like that.

P.S. I still miss Gaile’s Frog

Atlas.9704:

For Class I’d love a combination of Rit/Monk/Engineer and call it Alchemist or something.
Basically give it the support role of a Engineer but more melee and poisons.
It could throw out bottles like a Skritt Lobber and buff allies or hurt enemies.

The focus on melee over technological items, like guns, would give it a more fluid form of combat compared to the Engineer’s “plop down turret” style of fighting, which is still fun in its own right.

You should take another gander at the Engineer its everything your talking about.

Melee=

The rifle can count as melee and range as you have to get close and personal to use some of the skills.

Poisons=

Making it to where if trait points are spent right you could be a full time healer “monk”

In short if you want it, the Engineer has it. Being the MOST versatile and fluid class in the game. You don’t have to be a turret camper if you don’t want. I personally rarely use the turrets except for the Healing turret. I hope this helped you out. If not I’m sorry I couldn’t be of assistance.

Michael.4791:

There is a reporting tool in place. In fact there are two. One via the support, where you can add some more information and one via the ingame bug report that has a “botting” reason to choose from.
Reporting on forums is bad for 2 reasons. One, the involved characters could be hijacked / hacked and Anet wants to give those accounts back to the players without them having to worry about any acquired bad names. Second, somebody accused of botting might never have botted. Just because it looks that way it must not be (although doing it like many others in the same way leaves not much imagination to not being a bot). It is Anets business to check that.

I don’t want to do that and then get reprimanded for reporting a hacker when clicking on botting. It says you will get punished for doing so and get a possible ban for trying to help. Instead there are more suspicious activities out there such as precast AoE target marker dodgers and people running up mountains and other things of the sort that you shouldn’t be able to do. This definitely needs its own tab like botting and selling gold with a nice comment section so we can tell them what we saw said toon do. Its becoming worse and makes me not want to put any card info on for ease of use in gem store because I dont trust the programming. Dont get me wrong the game is MARVELOUS and absolutely GORGEOUS and WELL DESIGNED and I could go on for days with the compliments, but there are way too many holes that people are finding. and too many hacking tools coming out of the wood works on private hacker sites that make it way too easy to hack the game it seems. Its kinda like FPS games where when they first started everyone played fair, then one person found out they could hack it and told someone who told someone who etc.. Now you have KIDS little 8-9yr olds ordering aim-bots online with stolen credit cards. This is a very very viable and destructive problem that deserves its own tab at least. My concern is very valid, legit, and well thought out. I pride myself on my military trained logic, problem solving skills, and ability to make sure the person is doing something wrong with repeating the same steps over and over again to make sure the outcome is always the same. Most hackers tend to show off and that’s where they mess up alot, then the observant well trained eye like myself catches them and then wants to report with no option to do so. Also I miss Gaile’s Frog

Gaile Gray could you elaborate on something for me pls. I have made a few posts regarding hackers and the ever increasing rise of said hacking of GW2. But every time I post something regarding these hackers and suggest to implement a reporting tool ingame with a comment box, it gets deleted. I was wondering why this is. All I really need is one response from a dev on this or you preferably, as i miss your frog, and i will leave it alone.

LOL i almost forgot about this. THE RAINBOW JELLY is the BLUE JELLY. Where is the reward, if everyone gets my Jelly?

ElixireL.5190:

In some areas creatures and enemies re-spawn in about 15 seconds, which means you go from having cleared an area with a lot of effort, and have all your skills on cooldown, to being surrounded by the things you just killed.

When that area happens to contain a place of power that you are there to commune with for a skill point, and as this process takes 4-5 seconds and is interrupted if you get hit, things can get extremely irritating for solo players. I wish i could have recorded my session last night where i had t kill a Veteran/Champion whatever , and its 5 bodyguards TWICE in 5 minutes in a crazy attempt to get that skill point.

I think this person is talking about the ettin cave in the Gendarrian Fields to the southeast by the Ice elementals. I almost broke my keyboard over that area many times. And i was lvl 40 eng but it felt like i was lvl 5 eng for some reason. repawn timer there is hella bad i have to agree. all for a skill point communing node.

It doesn’t really seem like the pets for HoM are even rewards for hard work. When the Black Widow is weaker that the other spiders cmon. I think the Black widow at least should be treated as a Legendary all in its own. it just doesnt feel special, i end up using my brown bear most of the time…….. Please Overhaul the HoM Pets to be stronger and more deadly than bears and drakes. If im gonna show it off I want to SHOW IT OFF lol.

Well if you look at GW1 the content of Guild Wars Beyond was literally AN ENTIRE GAMES WORTH for FREE. People need to stop thinking that A-net is greedy like Blizzard.

When do server resets happen exactly?

We dont need new races yet, that much is understood. But Tengu will most likely be released so speculating and having a conversation about it on this forum will let the Devs know what we think. Plus its fun to speculate with wide eyed wonder.
I think if anything when the Tengu get released their dance should be something similar to one of these two videos.

No i dont think it would be in a boxed expansion because of the simple fact of they have to open the rest of Tyria like Magguma and the Krystallll Desert first. Including the Tengu starting area which like I said before is the same size as Grove, Divinity, and Rata.

Indeed Lok i thought i saw concept art for them with all the customization options.

Cowrex.9564:

Would be awesome to have a new race in the next expansion though. Speaking of which, does anyone know when will the next expansion come?

Pls stick to the Tengu topic. If you want release dates check the Dev Tracker. If its not there then there is no date.

lol like never then? you need alot of skritt for one to be smart. one roaming around is just going to be a stupid dull dim witted skritt that cant count its own fingers much less say anything other than shiny.

The Kodan and Norn are just WAY WAY too similar for me personally.

Eh Kodan are too much like the Norn. The Tengu are very very spiritual and honor bound much like most Asian cultures. It would be more of a change than the Kodan-Norn rip.

No paragons. The paragon class in GW1 was a total flop. Instead they gave alot of the paragon abilities to the Warrior with banners and shouts.

It is a sad sad fact that there is a spot on my map that is the size of a starting area right next to Lions Arch on the left. I like to refer to it as “The Last Spot On The Left.” Tengu are guarding it and say that they don’t trust the other races fully yet so you cant enter. So my superb ability to put 2 and 2 together to get 4, leads me to fully understand that the Tengu are going to be a future playable race. Now I know without a full A-Net verbal agreement on this subject it is just a speculation. Seeing as this is one of my favorite races and storys of Tyria and Cantha whens it going to be released?

I appreciate all the help and i know no Dev is going to reply now that a moderator moved it to this forum tree.

Jason King.2647:

Since our last attempted fix, we’ve found what some of you have also seen: there are ways that the events leading up to the Shadow Behemoth spawning can get blocked (potential fix in the works). We’re also investigating why the portals/behemoth are occasionally untargetable. Thank you for the additional details!

On Devona’s Rest, I have been playing GW2 for a while now and have had multiple people watching for me, but i have not seen nor heard of the SB events starting at all. It has been a month or so now, as it is preventing further achievement points being rendered unto myself for said event. And Shadow was one reason i got GW2.

I would really like a Dev reply. No offense but a lot of people usually have everything wrong on the internet. Id rather get the answer from the source. But if that is the case and its a one time spawn deal with server resets that’s not right. I think it should re-spawn as fast as an average Queensdale completion takes.

Ghost of Kenny.7395:

Is there a way to tell which Dive Master locations and Jumping Puzzles that you have completed? A marker such as waypoint or POI change would be nice since I have to do the same ones some time.

I normally just use pen and paper. It helps me out, try that?

Is the Shadow Behemoth in Devona’s Rest broken? I have been playing GW2 for a while now and have had multiple people watching for me, but i have not seen nor heard of the SB events starting at all. It has been a month or so now, as it is preventing further achievement points being rendered unto myself for said event. If it is broken is there any sign of a patch or reset? And are dragon resets possible with your current programming developments?
