Guild Wars 2

Tribal has already been stated to return by a dev.

As for toxic, wasnt that recently in the gem store? They usually cycle them round if not anyway

\you can also try forging random gems, however I found it more efficient to sell all your gems and buy the doubloons with the proceeds.

But if you manage +30, you win the game and unlock mounts which take you to Cantha

It isn’t just the creativity, it’s the time and resources to basically re-design an entire season. It can’t just be condensed or down scaled – it wasn’t designed like that originally.

It’ll take many months for them to complete such a piece of work

Not sure why ypu think the game is broken from this, nothing is broken here at all, people have just worked hard or committted a bit of time to the sheer wealth of AP on offer.

Have you worked on your living story achievements?
Have you collected mini pets or cultural armour?
Are you salvaging everything for the Entropy ap?
Have you worked towards the Silverwastes and Dry Top achievements?
Have you worked towards the boss achievements and also Teq and Wurm?
Have you mastered all your weapons?
Have you worked towards the EOTM achievements?
Have you killed 1000 of each type of enemy, or at least most?
Do you work towards maxing the ap gain in festivals?
Have you maxed out crafting professions?
Have you explored every bit of zone?
Have you done the jumping puzzles?

These are just a few of the things to be working towards. Some are very easy, some are long term gains, but nothing is broken or unachievable (except the season 1 ap). Set yourself goals, use the ap tracker and start working on those.

It’s not so much a low priority in itself but against other projects.

Expansion is their priority. That will not change. It’s much more important for a game to progress forward than look back – this is why Zhaitan hasn’t and probably never will be reworked.

People are demanding more LS chapters, LS1, NPE rework, trait reworks, SAB, festivals…the list goes on. Do they have the resources to do all this? No.

It doesn’t mean re-doing LS1 isn’t important, it’s just they get to see the bigger, wider picture of what will benefit the game and right now, unless it is being worked on in the background, it wont be a priority. We can all come on here and put forth what we think is the best for the game, but we have a narrower vision of things.

Seeing S1 re-worked is good for the game. But, not at the expense of progressing the game

It is a much asked for feature, but the scale of work to downscale it to fit with the game now would be close to re-designing it from scratch – it just was a very different implementation.

It had a very mixed reception, but they were committed. It was too late to change the way it was produced once it was started and their only recourse was to ensure Season2 onwards took the feedback into account.

As a piece of content, it was perhaps much more epic than anything else since, but it’s lack of foresight for future players has left a gaping and confusing hole. Do I think it will be brought back? No. Do I hope it will? Yes

Sunrise was the one I tested and it is currently working fine for me

Do you mean the chat codes? they are working fine when i try

Can you do that for Balthazar and Jenna?

Resurrection shouldn’t happen just because it can. It’s a tactical thing in battle (ie do yo sacrifice dps for the gain of numbers) or a politeness thing in open play.

Repeatable Combat Healer wouldn’t help this situation, all it would do is add a constant supply of ap

The beta had mixed reports. Many reported no issues at all. A few of us found the smoke effects a huge problem on performance levels, worse even than Dry Top

I’d expect HoT to be part of an ongoing improvement in optimisation as part of the natural course of things, regardless of what the stress test threw up

There’s a sticky just above your post already warning, it’s a very well known issue at the moment

Anyone got a screenie? I’ll stay my hand until I see it at least

Can you show a normal view? Ie not a frontal view. I dont play a toon front facing like this so i cant tell what is wrong.

Also, a screenie showing what the default setting go to would help. Ill check it fully tonight, all i can say at this stage is that default should be showing exactly as it was for you first time around. My feeling is the vertical camera option might be out

I think you can finally go to the Ball!

Yes you can, that’s a nice effect. leave it like that, but re-do the orange hat ribbon though. or red, whichever you prefer

Only use it as a highlight though, otherwise leave it as is

As an example;

They don’t match

Well, I personally add a third tone to my armours for effect, but I think that will work. the weapon is a decent match too.

The key thing is if you like it. Because everything else is irrelevant

That’s the preview code for it in game [&AgF7twAA]

Weapon 2nd from the end matches

A matching weapon

shwan.3051:

ok should which leggings do you guys prefer

Oh sweet Dwayna…no. Definitely not the first of those screenies. They don’t match at all

Not a fan of the armour, but I do like the colour combo and obviously the hat is brilliant

Can’t quite figure out what it needs to finish it off. There are no capes, so that’s out…

Ah of course…..a twirly moustache!!!

Arimik.2460:

I’ve tried both of these things already. “adjust to character height” makes it so I can only see my character from the elbows up, and resetting to defaults just resets them to the new default. I appreciate you guys reading through and responding though :P

There is no “new” default. Default is as it always was before they changed the camera.

Can you you show us screenshots to help aid the issue?

I’d play both, but since they have outright stated no more content for GW1 ever and it has been put on automatic for festivals etc, it wont ever happen. I prefer GW2 by a million miles, but I chip away at the massively grindy HoM stuff in GW1 every now and again. I still have Winds of Change to do as well.

No amount of gems will contribute further to GW1 though – 100% focus is on GW2

Some of the ascended trinkets have 4 stats. Maybe they will add those combos into armour and weapons at some point

There is absolutely no way a company of Anet’s size could produce content to fill the gap whilst making an expansion. It is simply too much work and too many resources. It isn’t feasible for them, nor is it feasible to request it of them.

Why not? Wasn’t there a small team working on living story stuff while the rest of anet was allegedly working on something BIG? What’s different now?

What’s different is it is all hands to the pumps for an expansion. It takes more than a few behind the scenes when development is at this stage

Olba.5376:

without giving Warriors a pair of extra arms.

Ah the Kintaro specialisation!

You do realize this is how all MMOs work, right?

This game has always adopted the “we’re not like other MMO games” way of thinking.

Guild Wars 2s main selling point was the constantly updating living story, and for an unknown period of time, that’s gone.

It wasn’t the original selling point however.

The current plan is what so many on these forums asked for – a stop to the living story system and an expansion. Those people should be pretty happy right now.

There is absolutely no way a company of Anet’s size could produce content to fill the gap whilst making an expansion. It is simply too much work and too many resources. It isn’t feasible for them, nor is it feasible to request it of them.

At best I could agree on more festival content returning – Gauntlet and SAB seem good examples. But, I personally have plenty of in game content to play and plenty of alts to enjoy it all on.

Gauntlet and SAB are what I meant by filler content. There’s absolutely no reason they couldn’t reuse old content such as those to keep the game fresh whilst the living story is on hold.

I won’t disagree with that. I don’t understand it either.

Arkinos.7245:

Its quite simple:

Yes the most efficient way of running content is Berserker/Assassin.
Yes thats not terribly interesting for some.

But there is absolutely nothing stopping you from running Cleric Guardians, Magi Eles, Soldier Thiefs or whatever you want.

I do not join any metazerk or AP based group, mostly on principle actually.
But I have no problem running dungeons or Fractals with whatever build I like.

Conditions are different, they dont play into the Zerk only debate because conditions are just another form of damage. I am pretty sure Anet wont fix conditions to be honest. They had 3 years and they havent done anything about it.
Even if they would fix them now, it would make Anet look like an incredibly incompetent company.

I personally think Anet doesnt care about conditions.
Its completely impossible for them not to be able to come up with a solution for 3 years if they even care a little bit.

Except they are fixing them. The firsts tests were in the stress test for HoT.

Not sure how anyone not directly able to access their code/engine/tech can state impossible for them to not fix it in 3 years or call them incompetent. There were obviously wider ranging and deeper issues for them to deal with.

Does anyone know if newly gained HoM titles are affected as well?

In what way affected? You still get them and they won’t be removed once Anet figures out how to do so. You just have to wait for the fix to grab your HoM skins.

I wasn’t sure whilst there were issues you’d still get the titles if you achieved them during this time in GW1 until the fix. If you do, then great

Does anyone know if newly gained HoM titles are affected as well?

I never received confirmation when I signed up for the newsletter post-HoT announcement (it was the first time I signed up for any GW related newsletter) and I still got beta invite. It never went into my spam filter either.

I thought it was the other way round, that the dev said a new profession was more likely than a new race?

Also, Colin ruled out a new race for the xpac at least, due it not bringing enough to the game.

Whether you find it acceptable or not is irrelevant. You signed up to the ToS which is clear on name rules. If you skipped it and didn’t read it through, you can not complain about issues that arise.

The policy exists for a reason, a reason which seems abundantly clear to almost everyone in this thread.

Forge!
Forge!
Forge!

The comment about being positioned for the “final confrontation” is interesting. I wasn’t expecting to be anywhere near the Dragon with the expac, however this could be evidence to the contrary.

Yep and the commando and the time travel from that mission were 250 years in the future….so….now

The bar for FOV is permanent, it was added with the new camera changes 2 weeks back.

Just so u know its not a prank from me either; https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-March-16-2015/first#post4882432

Imagine if they said it on April 8th

GW1 is re-running its Terminator quests to save Gwen from a rampaging golem in the past.

Much more fun

I don’t like it, but it is just one day.

I can take the excuse to do some GW1 stuff whilst its double zaishan week

There’s a storm coming…

Altair.8402:

Since I’ve been getting different information from different guides, is there any situations where you shouldn’t use AoE on the boss provided it increases your DPS?

I was under the impression it’s perfectly fine to use AoE, since the adds’ regeneration stacks in duration only and is negligible, and bubbles heal the boss if they’re not popped anyway.

You are correct. It is about high enough dps to counter the regens and bubble heals. Ive seen small groups, with aoe do just fine here.

One of the problems here is when the boss resets, either through a bug or by people standing too far back on or beyond the room lip. That health reset is wrongly blamed on aoe. Any heal caused by aoe tends to be quite low.

It is about sensible judgement calls rather than setting an all out yes or no rule, altho a good strategy is often to kite adds away from boss and remove the problem completely.

Beldin.5498:

Direct gold would be bad for the economy .. but instead they should maybe throw in
some crafting mats as reward.

The sad truth is at least that the main seeling point of GW2, dynamic events, are
something that are simply not worth beeing done anymore. Beside the events in
the new zones that give better rewards.

Until expac when core zones will start rewarding mats and other rewards as per last weeks blog

Already due for expansion
