Guild Wars 2

Well just dont eat them.

1. a lot of people on my server hated the hunger royale and all of my guild thought it was boring too.
2. We get southsun survival no matter who wins.

Now if they just bring back the event from the end of beta weekend 2

I’d love that. I love discovery in games. I try not to read too much before the next LS comes out.

I dont know what you guys are talking about my mesmer (my main) has been my strongest character since the beginning.

At low levels it’s important to get some toughness. What I do is I get power armor but toughness jewelry. Also try using a scepter if you’re really having problems. The auto attack summons illusions at the end of the attack chain which really breaks enemy AI, in addition to learning to perfectly time your dodges. Not even a warrior or a guardian can take that many hits without dodging.

I’m just saying, if more of the nightmare court were like Gavin and not completely insane/trying to kill everything on sight, I might be a little more inclined to atleast hear them out.

The word you’re looking for is quarterstaff.

I don’t think anet is giving all classes all the weapons just for logic. Elementalists don’t use a greatsword because greatswords are heavy and would weigh them down for the finesse they require. Plus it’s not just giving a weapon a new skin, they also have to come up with skills for the weapons. 60 new skills, 5 for each class, and then 3 for each attunement for an elementalist, and then they have to do that for each weapon.

I’m sure at some point in the future we will get new weapons but it will take time because they have to release a lot of the new weapons at the same time so that some classes dont feel shafted.

Invictus.1503:

Yes, yes, 1,000 time yes. I’ve been playing since Beta and frankly I don’t remember which paths I’ve been down in some dungeons, or which diving goggles I’ve already done, or frankly which hints I’m missing. I’ve love for it to at least show me what I’ve completed!

You can view hints by clicking on the question mark on you HUD in the top menu bar by the pvp tab. It shows you hints you have and dont have, the ones you have will have a checkmark on them.

But yes that’s a good idea, and just format it like the hints menu.

I support this. But not for account achievements, but for achievements based on the personal story. I’d like a trophy for Zhatian’s death, a memorial for your order teacher (They were your partner after all), an order banner, Maybe even an asura gate that connects to fort trinity when you reach that point or after Zhaitan is defeated.

Sylv.5324:

The colder thing that Caithe does is she writes Tiachren off to Nightmare. The PC can choose to try to save him or not, but she just willingly lets him fall. That is a really strong violation of ‘Never let a wrong ripen into evil.’

There are more subtle Courtiers in the lore, but only Gavin is notably nice. Though Ysvelta is, too, until she’s crossed.

I liked Gavin, he’s the only nightmare court that I sort of sympathized with, because he was reasonable; and honorable, he was told to stab me from behind and he stuck to his morals. I guess anet didn’t want to paint the nightmare court in the light that they’re completely reasonable people with a different mindset and instead just wanted to make them generic bad guys.

It’s been confirmed that the stuff in your bank will automatically be deposited in the wallet upon log in. In addition each character will need to be logged in to after the update to add their funds to the account wallet.

This includes gold, karma, laurels (which are account wide already), dungeon tokens, and badges of honor.

Crossplay.2067:

I have a problem with it too. I recall early on in the human storyline that, near the end of a mission, an npkittenerally appears out of no where and tells you about a locket relating to your parents. It had no connection whatsoever to what you were doing 10 seconds ago. I also recall Logan introducing Countess Anise at random. She’s not given a reason for being there or even excused as just walking by as you happen to be talking to Logan. Flowing from one arc to another felt extremely rigid.

I loved that story arc.

I think you got it kinda confused. You get a mail and that’s the first mission on the next story arc, if you chose that you were adopted. Also it is explained why Countess Anise is there, you must of not been paying attention.

Anyway the problem with that, is that some characters died depending on which decision you made. So some characters couldn’t be there or else someone will look at that person and say “Didnt he die?” I’m specifically thinking of Quinn, a character in the streets human personal story step. He could either die or you could save him, and that was a choice in the story.

On the other hand, Lord Faren is a character from the human noble personal story step and he made an appearance again. Also if you chose the college of statics as an asura when getting the candy powered matter meter during halloween you can ask the npc about the device and he will tell you it’s based on the VOED and then you can tell him that your krewe invented that.

Mobs have no cooldown on their skills, they haven’t for awhile (They did at one time but that was changed). A mob can actually spam his skills on you if you get really bad luck on the RNG but generally their AI will tell them to vary skill usage.

Cripple however does not count for defiant so it’s useful for kiting. While we’re at it neither does sinking underwater, so spam that on boss mobs.

A mage changing the color of their spells to show their mastery of spellcraft, being able to focus on casting the spell and the color at the same time, I like that idea. Maybe let us change the color based on the dyes we have, start us off only being able to use the starter set, and we can use new dye colors every 20 levels until 80; so starter from level 1, common at 20+, uncommon at 40+, and rare at 60+.

Gabby.3205:

^ I always was under the impression that Jennah friendzoned Logan. And used some kind of spell on him, too, because she needed a hero that could outrun a centaur. She is a powerful mesmer, right?

Yeah i’m pretty sure Jennah is just using Logan.

We have no idea if there will be a dueling thing, maybe we should hold off of suggesting how they can make it better until they actually release it?

Daily events used to be just kills, events, etc. And not region specific. They changed it to encourage people to travel to other areas of the world.

Asura don’t rule the world because they’re smart. They can’t take on the elder dragons by themselves. Maybe at one point they would’ve thought this way, but once they lost their home to an elder dragon, I think they saw the value in having allies.

Sorry but your theroy falls apart when you actually know the context of the story.

Alpher.5387:

I’m new to this game, and I’ve been having trouble keeping in levels with my quests, for example, I’m level 6 but my quests are level 8-10.

Any way for me to easily keep in levels? or some way for me to get exp to get to level of my quests, since they are quite hard to do when I’m underleveled by a significant amount

I run into the same problem all the time, but some advice:

• Crafting gives your experience per level up in the trade
• Dynamic events are very good sources of experience, don’t just run by them all unless it’s a group event or a champion because you probably wont be able to solo it; but jump in if someone else is doing it.
• Your personal story steps are a great source of experience
• Experience scales with your level to a point so doing a level 3 event will still give you good experience when you’re level 30, the same thing with doing other maps that are lower level
• You can usually easily do things that are a few levels above your own level so don’t worry being level 6 and the next lowest thing is level 7, just go for it and watch for the nearby events
• You get a experience for every skill point, vista, waypoint, POI, and heart you do in addition to the experience you get while doing it. There is also a reward for grabbing all of these in a map, which gives some additional experience as well as some other things.
• Completing town maps also gives you experience.

How I usually play is I level up as best I can on the map, and when i’m out of things on my level, that’s my queue to go back to town, craft and do my personal story step. Usually that covers the gap.

I personally liked orr at/near release. Yes the mobs made it sort of rediculous to survive it, but I thought that was sort of the point. It was one of the end games areas, I was ok with it being hard.

Nope, you’re stuck with that, but it’s character based. So one could be in vigil, one in whispers, and the rest in priory because the priory is the best.

Lord Trejgon.2809:

Queen Jennah will be personally present on the opening of that Arena.
after some matches of gladiators the queens tribune will collapse….
in the last moment something will teleport-out the queen (and only queen) saving her from death in the remains of old great collapse.
assisting Shining Blade, would have not such “luck” and will die…
assisting WatchKnight’s would just fell down there and will notice no problem except “where-is-the-queen” and “how-to-go-back-upthere”
^.^

You know I like part of this idea.

The queen invites you and your party to watch the gladiatorial matches, her viewing platform collapses and falls down into the great collapse. When you come to, the queen is fine, along with Logan, Countess Anise, and your party. But you’re stuck at the bottom of the great collapse and have to find a way out. You start going through some tunnels that are conveniently located at the bottom to find they have been carved by destroyers that have been tunneling under divinity’s reach for some reason. You fight your way out of the destroyer filled tunnels and to an opening to the surface and eventually make it back to the party.

I doubt that will happen but your comment made my mind jump to something like that.

If you think all us mesmers are is the portal skill…

I dont even use portal on my bar.

I hope that the soldiers dont end up malfunctioning. I feel like we’re seeing that too much. Tixx’s workshop, holograms, and now the queen’s new soldiers. It’s getting kind of overdone.

I came back from a long break at the very end of the dragon bash so the holograms might not have been some machine that malfunctioned but from a person who came in after a few months with no prior knowledge, that’s what it looked like.

I hope we start seeing older characters from the personal story, like seeing riot alice in divinity’s reach.

Arathor.7419:

i still thin kralkatorik the big purple gap in the map , iz significant damage and you really see alot of those branded are field of ruins and blazeridge spreading their virus , yes also jormag is on the assault but the closest at hoelbrak their gates are only a few sons of svanir not the real minions of jormag those are in frostgorge

The sons of svanir ARE minions of Jormag. They worship Jormag and further his cause (destroying everything). so yes Jormag is the most immediate threat.

But destiny’s edge fought Kralkatorrik so that might be the next in line. Destiny’s edge wanting a rematch, Zojja wanting revenge, having knowledge of exactly where he is, as opposed to jormag where he’s just somewhere up there.

The war with the centaurs is over. Didnt you notice after harathi hinterlands they just fell off the map? You actually defeated them there, the story was just told through the dynamic events instead of the personal story/living story. The centaurs are still just there because they want everyone to experience the war. Just like all the risen didn’t disappear after the first person defeated zhaitan.

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

The portal is a one-time use consumable that effectively allows you to use a skill that is similar to the mesmer’s portal. We recognize that it’s a very powerful item, so the recipe is quite rare and takes considerable resources to manufacture.

What trade is going to be able to craft this? It would be a shame if you only could use a few trades to craft it. I cover all the crafts between my alts, and then I cant trade it to alts that might not have that craft?

It does look nice but everyone is going to wear it because it’s a shiny new thing.

Well the aspect arena will not be in the rotation so I can safely say that will not be possible. As for survival it probably wont be possible just because they don’t want to give people additional time to get that mini since the kiel mini does not have the same chance.

Quarktastic.1027:

Caudecus has formed an alliance with the aetherblades, and they plan to use their technology to corrupt the queen’s new wind-up-toys. Enjoy another month of killing aetherblades. But hey, at least this time you get to beat up some reskinned golems to break up the monotony.

I’m having flashbacks to the princess dolls… dear god the princess dolls…

Ageia.5843:

This question really doesn’t have a right answer. It almost feels like people are saying the people who answer are wrong, but its really a matter of opinion isn’t it?

I love Guild Wars 2 but happen to prefer Everquest, Everquest 2, World of Warcraft, Rift, Vanguard, DC Universe Online (which, granted is more brawler than rpg but has some really fun rpg elements to it).

That said, just because I prefer those others most of the time doesn’t mean I won’t play this one. Its f2p. You lose nothing by not logging in for a week…

RPG is really a lose category if you think about it. RPG means role playing game, but every game anymore aims to be a role playing game. Even CoD tries to be a role playing game.

Fantasy earth zero. Best MMO i’ve ever played just because of the combat system.

I’m also excited for wildstar but I havent played it so I wont say it’s better than GW2.

GrandmaFunk.3052:

Evon promises a rotation that includes southsun survival, kiel promises one that includes aspect arena.

so it depends entirely on who wins the election.

Actually they both promise the same rotation.

Lilith Ajit.6173:

Areas count toward the title, Been there. Done that.
To get the medal by your name you need all hearts, pois, wps, skill points, and vistas, but not all areas.

Been there, done that is just world completion.

You don’t need all areas for would completion but you do need everything he said. WvW maps count for world completion as well but dungeons and southsun cove do not.

evilapprentice.6379:

Rainbow Sprint.3215:

You have to trait into traps on a ranger to make them worth anything. It’s the same with spirit weapons on guardian and certain kits on engi. Why are we excluding thief from having to trait? They already are very powerful if played correctly and you want to say they get this buff without having to sacrifice anything?

Venoms are currently useless. They’re no where near trap ranger or spirits when traited into. Not even remotely close.

They should be a valid option for some specs when untraited, and as good as trap ranger when traited, which is what I’m aiming for.

You misunderstood me, I didn’t say they’re already that good. I said we make rangers, guardians, and engineers trait into their stuff to make them not suck. Why are we not going to make the thief? You’re saying that with thiefs already being a powerful class in the right hands, you’re going to buff them without them having to give up any of their current build. You dont need to activate them if they were designed like this because the passive is way better.

Well the trait system needs to be reworked then. And that was the point, a 10 sec CD initially and then you can get a grandmaster trait in a different trait line to cut the CD in half.

Unless they’re majorly nerfed thief dps with d/d since I last played thief, no CD could easily keep a perma condition on a player.

Navzar.2938:

If it’s like any other kill count in game, just enough damage to tag them should do as long as they die.

You must not have played it. Crystal breaker is very hard with the size of the arena and the current skills.

You have to travel in packs with your team and hope they dont use light dash.

The passive will need a CD, just because the thief has a high dps, so these short CD and chances to inflict wont matter. Like a 10 second CD, and you can trait into it to cut the CD in half, so that the thief cant inflict permanent conditions, and he has to trait into it so he cant have high power AND ridiculous condition damage.

It’d be nice if you could take an active role in whatever happens this time. I mean before it was lionguard business but you do have an active role in kryta if you’re a human and being a personal friend of logan/destiny’s edge.

All of your tokens in your inventory and bank will be automatically added to your wallet after the update goes live

Sorry I don’t have any screenshots of the wallet, you’ll just have to wait until next Tuesday.

Just to quickly extra clarify, you will need to log in with each of your characters for their items to be deposited into the wallet. It won’t auto grab everything from all of them.

Can you confirm if our jugs and vials and whatever of karma will be safe (as in, they won’t be auto-consumed), allowing us to use karma boosts before we manually drink them for extra karma?

Just drink them now, you know it’s coming.

Why would they make a portal to LA when you have a free portal by going to the heart of the mists. I hope it’s account bound because I dont want to get one for every character.

Yeah sylvari glow, I remade my sylvari with one like 2 days ago and I glow.

Even if it doesn’t (and it might), I’ll willingly drag stuff to my char to throw into the wallet just to get it out my hair! Gosh, I’m so happy about that! If its actually a wallet, and doesnt have the 250 stack limit…I may die of happiness.

It will not have the 250 stack limit. Currencies in the wallet will act the same as karma and gold do currently.

Great news, thanks Mark!

When this goes live, what about currencies currently in the bank tabs? Will they be automatically moved or will it be a manual thing? (Either is fine by me to be honest.) Also… any pictures you can share of the wallet?

Thanks again.

All of your tokens in your inventory and bank will be automatically added to your wallet after the update goes live

Sorry I don’t have any screenshots of the wallet, you’ll just have to wait until next Tuesday.

Aww I wanted to keep a stack of badges in my bank to so I have them. Like those 200 mystical cogs that I cant do anything with.

Are you a thief, because you want to make them godly.

Poison stacks duration and a thief can attack once per second, reducing the effectiveness of heals and making the thief able to easily take out any class, easier than the other class could take them out. Cripple and vulnerability would make the thief hit much harder and in pvp or WvW there would be no chance of running, making thief god tier. Burning on every attack would be ridiculous. and finally applying a perma weakness so that no class could ever fight back against these changes. This would propel the thief to stand miles above the rest of the classes.

No class inflicts conditions like that on basic attacks, they either needs to spec into it, or the engi can use his kits at the cost of giving up one of his other skills; and even then the elixir gun is the only one that can cause conditions anywhere close to that without being speced for it. Combine these passives with the already high dps of the thief and initiative over CD of their skills and no one would ever be able to beat a thief.

I think you read it wrong. The queens gauntlet and the gladiatorial arena are two separate things.

ctrl + right click changes your attack to an auto attack so you don’t have to push 1 all the time.

Yeah you can use the same moves and be reletively effective in pve against regular mobs, but to actually been good at your class you have to use all your skills.

As an elementalist i’m constantly switching attunements, as a mesmer I need to watch my CD so I can summon another phantasm, and as a ranger i’m laying down traps. Being clever I can solo most champion mobs in the game, but I couldn’t do that if I was just auto attacking.

You’re being a bit greedy, action combat in an mmo is a relatively new system and it takes time to perfect it.

Apprentice pants, winged top, cabalist boots, pink quaggan backpack. No shoulders, no head, no gloves.

There will be only one new fractal, not 2.

3 new fractals

Really? Which? Developer said on the forum that they will be doing only 1 of these 2 fractals.

Molten Alliance
Aetherblade Retreat
Vote on the 3rd "Fall of Abaddon or Thaumanova Reactor.

It’s on one of the developer steams.

Good.

I can has ancient karka fight?

I don’t know if it was even a good fight I had to work during it. I’d like if anet put in the dungeons retroactively too. I actually ended up missing all of southsun cove.

I run with sword/pistol. Yeah I don’t have a speed boost, but i’m not putting runes on my gear specifically so I can save a minute. Also with your suggestion to give mesmer a permanent speed boost I don’t understand your title. It doesn’t make weapons any less viable. Even the classes that have a passive speed boost carry a weapon that gives a speed boost.
