Guild Wars 2

I think it’s a good idea. The devs said they’d pretty much were only ever concentrate on the main storyline, but if they ever changed their minds and felt they could add in side stories, this would be a good way to do it.

Scipion.7548:

Shield for Guardian.

I assume you mean re-working the current guardian shield to be more like a proper shield in use?

Commonly requested is spear taken for land use and then made for a paragon-like class. That could be interesting for a Guardian

Focus perhaps for Rev to be closer to a Ritualist

Shortbow for ele. I have no reason other than the legendary compliments my ele’s look. Seems like a good enough reason to me..

Astralporing.1957:

It’s not even the supplies. It’s making the people stay at camps in small groups, so all of the camps are covered (instead of letting them zerg in only few spots which leaves most of the map undefended).

Indeed. It’s a situation where commanders are both necessary and a hindrance at times. Without them, people view it as disorganised. With them, players clump up round them like moths to a flame. Often the successful runs have mentors/comms at most camps to keep the spread of people.

Matt H.6142:

In a world where we’ve seen a dragon’s mouth can be a separate entity from the dragon, (see Mouth of Zhaitan) I wouldn’t call a mouth the dragon itself. It’s a curious choice of words if it is the dragon. Why not call it the head of Mordremoth, or simply Mordremoth? Perhaps then the fight in the dream should have been called the mind of Mordremoth. Thoughts?

Mouth is more accurate than head simply because it’s main feature/purpose is to “feed” on leyline energy. Mouth describes that function better. They don’t call it Mordremoth because the entity is so widespread, that destroying an appendage like the mouth, hinders the creature, but does not destroy. It appears to have evolved to become a creature of the mind, hence why it can re-grow from mentally seeding corruption in Trahearne.

Mordremoth is so far the most unique dragon encountered, since it doesn’t fit what we believe to be a conventional form. It’s not always easy to grasp how something can be so alien. To me, that makes Mordremoth much more interesting and why such an abrupt ending to the saga was anti climatic to me.

Liewec.2896:

i have NEVER seen anyone with the aetherized weapons , and they’re never on the TP.
also until Anet decided to give them out for rares in the mystic toilet the 2012 halloween skins were really rare to see.

They were just re-released, so they are now extremely cheap on the tp. SHould start seeing more going forward for a bit.

It is a massive undertaking to link armours, weapons, traits, wardrobes, runes, sigils, the ui, inventory and other necs systems to make rhis work a ross all game modes. Plus there is ongoing debate what it should or should not include.

It is highly desired and the devs have expressed interest, but it is not a quick and easy addition. I do think it needs priority though as a feature

If you have the precursor that is it done, there is no recipe to learn for the legendary itself. That process is something independent from the legendary journey

The next steps are long and complex, so i would advise using the wiki to follow what you need to do now.

If i have misunderstood your question, i may need further elaboration.

Black Iris Flowers.3418:

many many people do VB. in addition to the meta end reward, you can also buy bladed armor boxes for 500 airship parts and 1g. It may sound like a lot but if you play the events a lot you get plenty of airship parts from the rewards and cargo boxes

EDIT to add: you buy the armor boxes from mastery vendors

Aye but not the vestaments do they? Unless that changed with patch?

As far as i could work out, it is a physical extension of him, much like the vines which grow from him or perhaps more so since it appears to be more the core part of his body which would act as a biological mouth.

Whatever he fully looks like could prob never fully be mapped since he is so integrally part of the jungle and has so many extensions of himself.

Is this poll not going on the launcher for visibility like the previous poll?

Ayrilana.1396:

There’s no issue with supply since they are not making anymore new legendaries.

I thought they were indefinitely suspended, not cancelled forever?

I don’t think it’s part of a collection directly, but if it’s new then it indicates the trail a tiger came through. There are many carcasses of dead things on that journey – only the steel of heart may traverse it and hunt down the beasts…

The next confirmed content is LS3 in July/Aug. Anything we get before is speculation/bonus/surprise.

I’m hoping for either a festival or revamped boss, but we shall see. I’m not putting any expectations down until LS3 hits.

Yeah i remember him and how nasty he could be if not approached correctly.

I might be thinking of the t rex in sparkfly in which case. Mobrin, Lord of the Marsh

I like her staff skin. Which one is it?

RoseofGilead.8907:

Randulf.7614:

They were pretty OP in GW1. I’d like to see a Tyrannus, Angordon or Ferothrax up against these newer Dinos.

Lets not even start on the Hydra from Crystal Desert…

God, the hydra. Ugh.

I’d love to see an epic fight between GW1 dinos and GW2 saurians, as long as I can watch from a safe distance and not be murdered in the face by them.

Wasn’t there a boss T-Rex in the Charr homelands? I vaguely remember something massively unpleasant there in hard mode and it being large and dino shaped…

“The Black Rider flung back his hood, and behold! he had a kingly crown; and yet upon no head visible was it set. The red fires shone between it and the mantled shoulders vast and dark. From a mouth unseen there came a deadly laughter.
“Old fool!” he said. “Old fool! This is my hour. Do you not know Death when you see it? Die now and curse in vain!” And with that he lifted high his sword and flames ran down the blade."

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

Randulf.7614:

If i remember rightly afk farming with a pet is intended behaviour according to a recent dev post.

I know other people will comment, but this is a misunderstanding of what the ANet staffer said.

Indeed, my bad. I also had not seen the follow up dev comment and other dev comments in the past. Not playing a ranger I haven’t really followed this discussion previously and I generally I leave others to their own devices in game when it doesn’t interfere with me.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

There are currently only 300 people in the entire game who have access to:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Pinnacle_weapon_skins

These are by far the rarest weapons

https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/na/achievements?page=12

The difference between #1 and #2 on the EU leaderboard is so close – I bet they have a lot of back n forth/ friendly rivalries going for that top spot

Robles.7458:

Maybe you are looking for this post:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Ranger-Pet-Botting/page/3

GM says:
“If your pets are doing the killing and your mastery is doing the looting; you’re okay as far as GMs are concerned. This does not mean design can’t/won’t/should/shouldn’t update the system as it works today.”

Aha no it isn’t, but that clarifies things better than the one I was thinking of.

Teofa Tsavo.9863:

Not allowed. The dev’s follow up clarified that.

People, as always, so quick to grasp at any straw to rationalize cheating.

It is unattended gameplay, pure and simple.

No one here has rationalised it. It is entirely possible I misremembered though (as I indicated in my post). I remember reading the word “intended” from a dev in conjunction with a thread on this subject, but I can’t find the link, so I’m guessing I’ve remembered it in the wrong context?

RoseofGilead.8907:

Dawdler.8521:

How many have seen the underwater legendaries used in combat?

Anyone?

Yeah. That’s what I thought.

I think four of us in my guild have Kraitkin. We’re our own special Kraitkin Club.

*puts his hand up in show of support as an honorary outside member of the Kraitkin Club
I think Rodgort is my least seen legendary. And yet, one of my favs

Mjolnir used to be more common, but I suspect the much higher price encourages ppl to sell or discourages ppl to buy. Although players generally have more money these days, there are many more things to buy to pull them away from saving from such a skin.

Redenaz.8631:

Hall of Monuments weapons seem surprisingly rare. The Gnarled Walking Stick and Fiery Dragon Sword aren’t super rare, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a Wayward Wand in-person.

You basically need a combination of a person who played GW1 pretty heavily (and, therefore, probably played GW2 from the start,) and hasn’t replaced it with another skin they like more since then.

Yeah they aren’t as spectacular as later additions to the game so are largely underused. Although I do use the axe on my necro since it fits perfectly in style and colour. And the hammer I use on my revenant because..well it’s free to transmute with and I can’t afford the skin I want atm…..

I’ve seen Infinite Light a lot over the years, although it is reasonably rare and not as common these days now legendaries are so common. Same with Mjolnir. I almost never see the newer ones probably due to the tiny drop rate. I also didn’t realise how many new, unique skins for weapons are hidden away in rng boxes in HoT

eg Great Capra, Berserkers Ebb (screenshot below), Berserkers Flow, Mordrem, Seer, Velocitas Eradico, Kingmaker, Dandy Bluster and Arkhalos

I’ve also only ever seen the Wurm rifle once. But, it is hideous so that’s no surprise…

It’s only the breakbar that needs coordination. Otherwise it’s just a dps race, with a rush to cc crystals.

Make sure you get into a full map. If you arrive just before or during pre’s, it’s prob going to be a tougher map than if you arrive 15-mins early

DoctorDing.5890:

Really enjoyed those events. I was a bit bemused by the Mastery XP rewards automatically applying to my already maxed XP line. Would have been nice to be able to stash those to use against (presumed) new masteries in the future but I guess in Central Tyria we’re never short of XP.

But, yes. Nice surprise. More please!

I was hoping to stash mine also as I’m mastery locked now in Tyria. But no, it was automatically applied, and therefore it was a worthless reward for me.

Anet already confirmed they are not adding new central tyria lines, like ever. This reward was to give new/slow players a nice buff to help them out.

This is just a small lore/fluff event, it isn’t supposed to pay out amazing rewards.

When did they state no more core masteries ever?

As highly unlikely as it is, we don’t know they haven’t restarted that either. It’s very much the new norm to work on things and release as a surprise. Now Q2 is done, which was pretty hefty and bigger than any of us expected, there may be work going on it.

I think we need to get used to pleasant surprises now. Remember 1 month before the Shatterer blog they openly said no plans were in place to change or improve the fight.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Here’s the quote from the Reddit AMA. Basically it’s because they’re too busy right now, but it’s not ruled out for the future.

Mike-OBrien-ArenaNet
It’s a cool suggestion. But, sorry, we’re not working on a key ring. We’ve got a full plate with other development, and as I said above, my priority is for us to do a great job on the things we’re already tackling.

True but the quote is over 2 months old, when they pulled everyone onto the quarterly update. It may still apply, or they may have added it into the schedule since.

It is clear this is all leading to LS3 and beyond as part of the fallout of killing two dragons. Magic I guess is starting to become unbalanced and flowing out and being absorbed by other beings, increasing things in power.

Tequatl was the start of this, as grew in strength absorbing some of Zhaitans magic.

The egg has also absorbed a great line of power

Shatterer appears to have grown in power because of it.

We are possibly leading up to either an elder dragon absorbing much more than it naturally would or something else appearing…
Perhaps other races will exploit this, maybe the Jotun will find a way to absorb power to return to their former glory.

I doubt we will get dervishes again since they are tied to human Gods and the game could not get away with Charr dervishes for example. I also dont think we will ever see new weapon types, since a scythe for example would have to be introduced for multiple classes to be viable enough for resources to be given over, plus extra work needed to pull out a ton of skins to bring it up to speed.

They could find a way to emulate it on a Revenant which has some similarities. Or perhaps necro which is the closest light armoured class.

Paragon with spear and shield seems like a sure fire call at some point though. Id guess guardian would have that elite.

Lions Arch

No Lion
No Arch

Tempest remains my top, but daredevil has replaced reaper now for me.

Am trying scrapper…but so far, not overkeen. Think it needs more time though

Judging by the small piece of content yesterday, expect little titbits until then. Hopefully even a festival. Maybe Gauntlet or a revamped Dragon Bash.

That however is speculation. We know LS3 is summer so expect that to be the next content and if more comes along, bonus.

Randulf.7614:

No Dulfy isn’t required, but that’s where the comms came from and how many knew about it. The side note in the patch notes was nothing. No indication of anything.
The item also appears to painfully rare, so it’s going to be an obvious in game discover.

Maybe I’m just astonishingly lucky but it dropped on the third mob for me. Go kill a few Svanirs and then tell me it’s a painfully rare drop.

I get that you want to be a hater but, really, there are better things to hate on than a little side event that may well turn out to just be a teaser for LS3.

Been killing svanirs/icebrood for over an hour.

I’m not being a hater at all and my post is very, very clear about that – I think it’s great little stuff gets added.. I just want to know when new stuff is added via Anet themselves. That is extremely reasonable feedback. If it’s a teaser for LS3, then that makes it more important to know about it.

DoctorDing.5890:

Randulf.7614:

Yeah kinda would have been nice to know content had been added from the games company who made it and not from Dulfy etc..

No Dulfy required, unless you are impatient. The patch notes hinted cryptically at something but in normal play you will kill something that drops a new item. The description on that item tells you who might be interested in it and that NPC points you to the rest of the events. Just play the game.

Will go and check out these events

Aye vipers has been back multiple times since 2013 from memory

I very much doubt its an easy change, its prob a little more complex than you think.

However, as I said the last time it was suggested, it would be something i would like and enjoy. It would prob be lore and immersion breaking, but with all the angel wings and other non GW styles Anet rammed in, I think we have gone beyond all that.

Ramoth.9064:

can we please get rid of the guild emblem on the magic carpet <_<

I really hope not.

Id prefer a non guild emblem alternative if they were to do that

For them it was like a trip to a show – they expected it to be an easy victory after Zhaitan. The luxuries are because they are Nobles who think they need carriages laden with belongings and simply are ignorant of reality.

They expected a chivalrous epic for the ages….

…instead they got on the wrong side of a Michael bay film….

rhapsody.3615:

So african grey inspired? I would expect something more flashy like macaw coloring.

So ahem what do I win?

You win these fabulous pictures of me looking awesome!

Well done!

DaBOMBdiggity.9548:

Good thing Anet didn’t make Lord of the rings online, there would’ve been a lot of angry players with names like Legolas, Gandalf, etc…..

iirc Turbine blocked some of the prominent LOTR names from creation.. Regardless, the same naming rule is in effect there as it is in many MMO’s I have played – using characters named after in game NPC’s generally at some point will trigger a name change.

Ardid.7203:

Truly, the real heros of Ascalon were Dougal Keane and Ember Doomforge:

And Rurik!

Well OK, maybe not hero…maybe more dumb idiot…

It references a starter quest in GW1. When you first begin the game, you meet the young girl, Gwen in Ascalon which is a rich and beautiful zone. Then comes the Charr invasion and the Searing and Gwen is captured by Charr. One of the quests has you end up finding her flute, broken and symbolising what was once a peaceful, fertile land, destroyed by the invading Charr army.

The Black Citadel is built over the ruins of of the City of Rin, Capital City of Ascalon, which is visible in the first of the ops pic

And thus enda todays history lesson!

Redfeather.6401:

I recently decided on a pure whim to craft a portal scroll. Seeing as how Essence of Black Citadel was pretty much the cheapest, I ended up using that.

Now I’m using Black Citadel as my trading/banking nexus… and it’s sinking in that it’s probably the most interesting city out of all of them. So much going on and it’s huge!

It’s my new home.

p.s. the view is amazing from up here. XD

Second only in bustling nature to Divinity’s Reach, it is an interesting city, but just remember the cost…

“The clock is ticking and Tyria is at risk. Hurry along now”

I think the only item a NPC patronised me to the point of almost being offended lol
