Ralanost.8913:

What type of weapon are you looking for to be small?

Side weapons, mainly. I hate that every warhorn has clipping issues with my knee when I’m in combat, lol. I think I’m just too obsessed with clipping, it annoys the hell out of me. I need therapy.

That has nothing to do with size and everything to do with model placement. And if clipping bothers you, I don’t know why you play MMORPGs. I don’t see clipping being fixed for another decade.

Mea.5491:

Ralanost.8913:

There are tons of smaller weapon models. That is such a non issue I don’t know why you are having a problem.

Even the smaller ones are not small enough for my liking. But I’m just super picky so nevermind me… ^^

What type of weapon are you looking for to be small?

They can accuse all they want. Autoattacking is what it is. Botting is much more than just standing in one place swinging your weapon.

You are asking if a base function of the game is botting? Are you serious?

Mea.5491:

Don’t kill me but I think Asura has the best back skin sizes. I have the opposite problem, I would like to decrease the back skin sizes on my Sylvari because of clipping issues. Same with weapons, I want extra small weapons because I hate clipping so much… xD

I don’t get everyone’s love for Tybalt. He’s nice and all, but he’s a bumbling oaf. I would like priory a bit more if the scholars acted a bit smarter. Sadly, they are usually portrayed fairly dumb for the brainy order.

notebene.3190:

I have the reverse wish. I’d like to see the Sturdy Leatherworker’s Backpack Asuran sized on a Human so it’s more like this .

So a useless woman’s backpurse?

Kormir, of course.

Tevesh.1265:

The backpack design is just bad. Really, I mean it. Like 70% of backpacks are variations on hobo sack and most of them look silly to boot (who straps a chest with an anvil on your back? It’s like 90 kilograms, try it yourself, seriously anet). Of the rest, few are decent, and many have oppressive particles.

What about the cooking one? It’s literally a lit grill that isn’t secured shut. If you dodge roll with it you should have a chance to catch on fire.

Simply put, no. It is a very sad thing he passed away, but he lived a long and very enriched life. Remembering all the good he did is more than enough. It would be a bit patronizing to put something in GW2 memorializing him. It’s a great game, but it is still a game and very transient. Decades from now GW2 will be mostly forgotten, but everything Nemoy left behind will still remain.

Lifestealer.4910:

Zoltreez.6435:

they should buff the scaling of healing power to begin with
and remove Ferocity as a stat from the game. and make crit dmg 150% baseline.

also

ALLOT of traits for allot of classes need buffs or TOTAL reworks.

Not sure if serious…

Why would he not be? He’s absolutely correct. Ferocity is one of the reasons that Zerker builds are the meta. And healing power is currently pure garbage.

Siphaed.9235:

Ralanost.8913:

Sadly, that is the problem with Asura. Almost everything is too small to see so it makes collecting skins on them largely useless and a waste of time.

Staffs are excellently displayed, and the same with Scepters too. And I think certain Rifle skins look down right HUGE on an Asura. All the shields stick out just find and dandy. Daggers, Horns, and Focus(es?) (Foci?) all have the visual microscopic appearance with the brilliant miniatures. So it really is a hit or miss based on the weapon model with the Asura. Then again my character -although considered very small by the other races of Tyria- is considered big for an Asuran.

Axes also get sized down a LOT.

Why not just look all that up in the wiki?

Has everything you need to know.

I thought 1 and 3 were for aiming and 2 was to shoot. It’s still not more enjoyable to press one button over and over until it dies, but at least get the button you press right.

Legionnaire axe is my favorite by far.

Since this is the merged topic I will go ahead and toss my name in the hat. I have 2-3 characters that I would dearly love to race change. I had no idea how bad armor looks on charr and how I can’t see anything on asura since they are so kitten small. That and all the quality armor goes to human/norn/sylvari.

ekarat.1085:

Well, you’re getting what you asked for, though probably not what you wanted.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/The-New-Defiance-Article/first

That has nothing to do with condition builds or damage. That is strictly based on CCs.

Tabootrinket.2631:

I hope someday anet has the guts to release a full underwater expansion focused on the largos lore and an underwater dragon (or something else).

And that would be an expansion I sit out of. Believe it or not, some people hate underwater content. Doing a full expansion based on it would be an overall terrible idea.

Tman.6349:

Conditions are fine except in two areas of the game. In fact, they excellent in the others. The problem areas are zerg events where you have a ton of other allies and/or a timer which makes me wonder why you’d be running ‘damage over time’, when the sheer numbers makes attrition completely silly and nothing more than a roleplay. The other is dungeons where people want to clear things quickly and question you motives as a ‘team player’ who makes the conscious choice that they’d like to kill things slowly. Use conditions where they’re effective and use power where it is effective/needed. OK. Now that we’ve got past the psychological inistantce of PHIW and using the wrong builds for the wrong content, we can agree that conditions are fine.

No they aren’t fine. Just saying it doesn’t make it so. And believe it or not, some people play for fun and like a certain playstyle over efficiency. Is it really wrong that someone likes to play condi? Why is it an option if it’s frowned upon almost universally? Anet just needs to redesign conditions from scratch. They are horribly overcomplicated and restricted right now.

Harpoon gun simply doesn’t work without water. That is all there is to that. And while I don’t see why spear and trident couldn’t be used on land in the most basic of manners, they would need brand new skills. If you are doing that, why not just bring in brand new weapon types?

CureForLiving.5360:

Stack limits are an hardware issue. Imagine two WvW blobs running into each other, you’ve got easily a hundred people duking it out, potentially hundreds of conditions being stacked up. The hardware simply couldn’t handle all that computation (or rather not efficiently), so they limited conditions stacks.
If ANet got more processing capacity, or found a cheaper way of doing the math we could see an increase in condition stacks. However I don’t see it happening soon though.

Too bad. They need to strap on their big boy shoes and learn how to make it more efficient. No sense in having all these conditions if they aren’t worth using in large groups.

If condition builds will ever get a chance, stacks need to be based on the character, not condition type. Even in 5 man groups you have to look and see if anyone else plans on stacking similar condis to you and adjust. That’s stupid and breaks condi build viability.

Learn from your mistake and don’t take risky chances. And let’s not beat around the bush, if someone “stole” your gold, you made a mistake in who to trust.

Dailies are a bonus. You aren’t required to do any of it. And there are 3 versions of dailies. PvP, WvW and PvE. Surely that isn’t asking too much? Even then, they still give you options. Still, nothing you get from dailies is required for anything and you can skip them and not miss anything. You are making a monstrous deal out of them being generous. It looks really bad on you for not only looking a gift horse in the mouth but spitting on the owner while you are at it. Don’t like the dailies? Don’t do them. Problem solved.

For how old the game is and how integral skins are to progression and collections, there are WAY too few models in the game. What is even worse is a fair number are currently unobtainable or locked behind the lockbox lotto wall.

Even though the quality is overall lower, WoW has a much MUCH larger variety for visuals than GW2 by several magnitudes. Thousands of armor models. Even more weapon models. It’s VERY easy to look unique if you try. Meanwhile in GW2, if you want to look good, you will see many others with the same gear. Not very inspiring.

So no, I would argue variety is very lacking and HoT needs to double the available armor models in the game, or at least add 50%. And with the new models, add same variety and give Asura and Charr some love. Instead of taking normal armor and stretching it for their models.

Honestly never been interested in housing in any game. Even back in Morrowind I didn’t care. I found places to stash my extra stuff in a semi organized fashion. That was all it amounted to.

You must accept their deaths and move on. Wanting them back even with different personalities is very creepy, bordering on monstrous. Like bringing them back from the dead with the wrong soul in their body. Who would be happy with that?! They died, stop trying to dig them back up.

I’m glad they talked about revenants, but from what I have seen it won’t be a class I care to play. But I am fairly patient. Just waiting for news on thiefs and eles.

I want an impressive pistol. Like a .50 cal. Something Dirty Harry would be proud of. Or something that would fit in with Judge Dredd.

so…you want a sniper rifle that is designed to destroy a heavy armored tank made in the late 90’s?
you do realize that’s not only ridicules, it doesn’t even fit the game at all….

Already a sniper rifle in game, so I don’t know what you are babbling about. And what is so ridiculous about the S&W 500?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_%26_Wesson_Model_500

I just want a pistol that is a bit bulkier.

what’s ridicules is that you’re asking for an anti-tank sniper rifle made in modern times, the hunter and predator are both made in a more medieval style.
the gun you’re talking about is really modern, guns in this game doesn’t go further then the civil war times.

You didn’t click the link. You have no idea what you are talking about. You don’t even play the same game as the rest of us as far as I can tell. Did you get lost?

designed: 2002-2003
build time: 2003-present
don’t defend when you lost, i told you it’s to modern and was right.
i have every way i know about, yes i clicked the link and yes i read, if you want to do it properly try to at least link a more ancient weapon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_weapons_in_the_American_Civil_War
here, i did you a favor, now quit defending the obvious endless whine.

moving on, you remember the times when a weapon like Excalibur was seen as legendary?
no special particle effects, no bling bling everywhere, just a legendary powerful weapon honoring it’s name.

You are insane. Glyphic guns, the weapons from super adventure box, the hunter, the predator. Asuran and Charr tech is way beyond civil war. They have tanks and guass cannons. Seriously, do you guys even look around? Do you do anything other than wvw? It’s like you have no idea what is in the game.

Fixate would probably be a more appropriate and less confusing word to call it.

It really stinks coming back to the game after an extended break and seeing so many skins being unobtainable. They need to be available again in some fashion.

Tenrai Senshi.2017:

There are very few instances (like maybe two) where you need to do a JP to complete a map and typically those are very easy instances as well. If it’s really that hard for you, just ask a mesmer friend to help you and portal you up, it’s really not that hard.

The issue with arguing that some forms of content should be “optional” is that it then opens the door for a lot of other arguments. Someone could argue that doing hearts should be optional. Others will go as far as arguing that combat should be optional, and so on, so forth.

It’s just silly to ask for certain kinds of content to be removed or segregated from the main game simply because some individuals don’t like it. JP’s form a core part of the GW2 experience just like other features might form a core experience for another game. If you don’t like that core experience, perhaps this is not the right game for you.

Why? I would love the idea of anything you do being viable and not feeling punished for not wanting to do any part of the game you don’t enjoy. I would much rather the game be a la carte then told I need to eat everything to get my dessert.

Here’s the thing, you don’t actually “need” to do everything. You only do something if you want to achieve a particular goal. Want that Flame legion armor? Do CoF. Want map completion, do that one JP to get a vista. Want fractal weapons? Do Fractals. Etc and so on.

However, you don’t HAVE to have dungeon armor. Nor do you HAVE to complete a map 100% or do fractals or anything else. You can play however you want to. The only thing that dictates what you do, are your own personal goals. And let’s face it, that’s what games are really about these days. Completing a specific goal to get a specific reward, and this is the same for all games, not just GW2. In fact, I’d say GW2 is a bit lenient in this regard because it often offers players multiple ways to achieve specific goals. For example, if you don’t want to do a dungeon to get a specific kind of armor, you can do PvP and get the same armor. Or, if you don’t want to do crafting to get a legendary, you can just save gold and buy one doing other content, etc.

I would like to make Mawdrey. It requires time in Dry Top which is essentially one big jumping puzzle. Not going to happen. The current legendaries ask you to participate in multiple parts of the game. There are plenty of other things that if you want to complete them or get a new skin, you can’t stick to your comfort zones. I just want things to have more options on how to acquire them. They can be equally hard or time consuming, I don’t care about that. I just wish I could avoid parts of the game I don’t enjoy and still eventually get things I want.

No way that is happening.

You want annoying? Go to Rata Sum to craft near the cooking area. My god, they won’t shut up.

Linken.6345:

and wer already getting a remake of this system in expansion please read the info mate

Doesn’t change the fact it makes leveling alts miserable in the current game.

I will throw my name in the hat as another that hates JPs. Mind you, I am generally ok at them, but they aren’t why I play the game. And the crazy ones? I will never do them. The griffinrun or whatever it’s called is a horrible one that I will never attempt. And I GREATLY resent jumping puzzles in Fractals. That I feel is the biggest offense. Uncategorized is horrendous. Harpies with knockback scattered over tiny platforms WITH an achievement for not falling? Forget it. I have gotten to the point I prefer the dredge over that one as it’s easier and just more enjoyable and less frustrating. I enjoy puzzles. I don’t enjoy platforming in an MMO.

BrunoBRS.5178:

i agree that the bifrost could use a cooler model, but the rainbow is the awesome part about it. and i like frenzy’s fish aura.

either way, my point is he put those two in the same category as “shortbow that fires unicorns” and “disco ball mace”, when they’re clearly not intended to be “joke weapons”.

Fair enough. I just wish some of the effort that has gone into the RNG lotto weapons from lockboxes would go into the new legendaries. Fused, Ley Line, Tormented, Dream Thistle, Pact Fleet, Tempest and even Pheonix seem to have more effort put into them them Bifrost or Frenzy.

BrunoBRS.5178:

…what’s wrong with the bifrost? ._. it’s the physical embodiment of the norse rainbow bridge that connects the worlds. also not sure what’s wrong with frenzy? maybe you just have a problem with colors?

The model for bifrost itself is amazingly boring. Don’t care much about the rainbow itself, but the model just plain needs to be fancier. And frenzy is just plain ugly. I feel people just have bad taste.

Considering how Skritt brains work, that’s not going to happen. Unless you are surrounded by other Skritt, you would be about as smart as a wooden post.

I hope Blindfolds are revenant ONLY
and i hope they’re mandatory

both very very unlikely

since you can transmute ANY other profession specific gear to other classes and it has never been mandatory

It’s so boring when you have to press a character to see which profession it is. There’s no distinction.

So you want a game all about vanity to pigeonhole classes into specific gear? Yeah, that’ll go over well. If you pay attention it is very obvious who is what class once combat starts.

I hate to say it, but I stopped caring about the story after level 60 or so when we were sidelined and Trahearne took center stage. The personal story was really nice at first and I enjoyed it a lot. Until plant man stumbled into the scene and was crowned lord savior of our realm.

I missed living story one as well, so I can never catch up. So the story will essentially never mean anything to me since I don’t know the characters anymore or what actually happened.

It would be nice if minion AI wasn’t complete garbage. Decided to mess around and go full minion on my necro. Most things I fought, half of my minions didn’t even attack. I don’t even get how AI is that bad.

TLDR: He wants armor with more of a Diablo franchise look.

More or less id like some good looking armor . Alot of the armor we have now isent that great ; and its got some clipping issues on the norn and the chaar which need to be fixed. Namely the chaar’s tail.

I don’t mind the clipping too much. The more elaborate the armor, the harder it is to avoid clipping. But I find that, especially for charr and asura, the variety and visual appeal of armor is lacking. Also some weapon varieties are severely lacking. Staves in particular have a LOT of boring models, while swords and greatswords have an excess of amazing models.

Once again i agree . But we need some armor to match these weapons that are out; We have ice weapons and no ice armor . We have norn and no barbarian or really good looking viking armor . Just stuff they need to add , it adds immersion ya know

I’m all for adding more variety, that’s for sure. It’s just in games like this that it irritates me a bit that I hate playing “boring” races. You know, ones that have a profile just like a human? Boring. Sadly, the modeling done for the armor for Asura and Charr isn’t the same quality and it’s really annoying. And as I stated before, I would like maybe 2-3 of the armors to show some femininity for Asura and Charr. It doesn’t have to have bustiers or boob windows, but when the other races get garter belts and underboob halters, it’s a bit obvious that you think female means show skin.
