Guild Wars 2

Litany of wrath can be useful if you trait meditations to heal. Its really only for solo usee but can give increible healing when needed, giving up to double the healing plus the heal on hit

I wasn’t a fan of Sea of Sorrows, however I had huge amount of enjoyment tracing the monuments around LA that linked to it after reading the book. Was great fun figuring them out from clues in the book.

I heard something about no more planned, but can’t substantiate that.

FYI, you can find Dougal Keane in the game!

Not that I have seen. I recently picked up the game and am a little sad that I cannot see the full story without dropping $20 in gems. Also concerned that I will drop the gems only to find out that I need a group to finish certain parts.

It’s all designed to be soloable, albeit more challenging than previous story arcs.

As for bundles, no there has not been any mention

Yep my very own golden bacon maker…I mean beloved pet piggy…

yes…

yes…preciousssssss

I doubt we will see it in HoT. I see UW content getting overhauled or maybe with a mastery line either in the far Shiverpeaks or if we go to fight the UW dragon. Which although I think is unlikely, might happen with a massive overhaul of how underwater operates.

Of course not since it will largely take place in the new zones. Doesn’t mean it wont link to vanilla tyria. or affect it some way. But yes, his point is exactly as one would expect otherwise.

They have already stated LA will be fixed in future content. It was a forum post a month or 2 back.
Gating the LS behind the expacs does not mean vanilla Tyria is out of action. S2 gates the story, it still changed vanilla Tyria.

Also, even in the infinitesimal chance what you say is their plan…..plans change.

I think this thread has soared off course

IrishPotato.6327:

Would you care to elaborate? Considering they’ve explicitly stated there will be no new tiers of gear, no new levels, what makes you think they will ever be pay to win?

they didn’t say pay to win

The core game spoiled us for maps. Whatever we get will always seem low in comparison.

True.
I think we all should accept it,no expansion will ever have that many maps like the core game have.

Unless they release a HYPER MEGA ULTRA Expansion like Nightfall and Factions,which were stand alone games,not actually an expansion.

It would basically be Guild Wars 2.1. – Elona / Cantha Version

Remember,GW:EN was an Expansion,and to be honest it didn’t have 1/3 of the maps released in Nightfall and Factions,which I repat,they were not expansions,but basically a stand alone games ,so the need of having a whole new continent and not just 5~8 maps

Correct, and yet I found more replayability from GW:EN than Factions and even NF. That said, festivals occured in the core hubs, new things still popped up in old lands. I don’t think “vanilla” Tyria will be forgotten about. They’d be foolish to do such a thing

The core game spoiled us for maps. Whatever we get will always seem low in comparison.

Expansions vary considerably in size. Lotro usually gives one zone per expansion – it just sub divides them cleverly to market a zone as more. TSW has gone the DLC route and has added 2/3 map since launch. Whereas Rift I think added a massive landmass.

The initial reaction is naturally to want as many maps as possible. That is entirely understandeable, but ultimately it will be down to what is them that define the replayability. Silverwastes and Dry Top are pretty good examples of that.

It’ll be gated because it will likely take place there. No expansion, no access to maguuma. That makes perfect sense.

The Living Story was an experiment, one with very mixed results. It may be that they have decided to go a more traditional result. I hope they still develop the rest of Tyria in small ways – new events, overhauled boss battles. Obviously the masteries will help as well. It’s a huge core map – abandoning it completely will go against the Living World concept completely, but they will only have resources to concentrate most content where the players will be. And that will be Maguuma and beyond.

There is no reason to believe the core map wont be a part of story updates as it has sporadically in season 2. But, right now…it wouldn’t make sense to go into maguuma..come back…go back in..etc etc.

Isn’t this how all expansions work though? I’m not sure how else it could work, especially if they want to maximise the number of ppl buying the expac

If you can hold out in SW, fragments come thick and fast. I’m swimming in them from the last couple of months. And yes JP’s are a good tip too.

Yes not sure why existing sab worlds don’t just sit there as an activity to play. Especially during the wait for expansion. I just cant fathom, as a player, any logical reason for this.

I swear, Anet won’t consider it the “right time” for SAB until we kill off all the elder dragons only to find out that there is Super Elder Dragon inside SAB.

haha I’d almost be happy to wait for that…

…almost

The hooman is the mini pet right?

Didnt know it had gone, but if its been brought back, the news articles can be ahead of the gem store in some cases.

There is another quote though that is more specific to this request, but I don’t remember where I saw it

You aren’t going mad, it def isn’t in there – it’s the only lunar item they list that isn’t so could be a bug/oversight

Since they never set times for patches and have never responded to calls for “what time is patch”, you will never get an answer about it I’m afraid.

I’m fairly certain the last patch I had was at the usual time though. Only the one before was later than average

There are a lot of people that they have already suggest it to the staff but isn’t it never considered but we don’t know why this item isn’t already in the game.

Maybe because race directly affects Personal Story, unlike all of the things you can change? There’s a reason it’s been suggested so many times and never considered by the devs, and that is because it’s just not feasible.

Just reset the Personal story… its not that hard to do.

Apparently it is – they do not have the facility to make such a thing happen

All wing related topics are currently being merged here due the sheer number of them https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/WINGS/first. If you want feedback heard, this is where the devs will be looking

GORDON’S ALIVE!

All looks really good. The gating of attacking bosses who would be invulnerable sounds great on paper, but I can see situations with ppl w/o mastery leeching and blocking those with the mastery from entering a map.

Yes that every other thread is about the same subject

The devs have said it is a huge development issue, one which isn’t on their list with so many more pressing things to attend to. It requires a great deal of coding to sort since it affects so many things beyond just the ps, that said it wasn’t worth them investing time into, especially at a high risk of major bugs creeping in.

I highly doubt they will ever put resources into something which in the grand scheme of things, will be considered a very low priority.

Ok…well having tried them…they are pretty horrific when worn on some toons. They look like stiff carboard cut outs super glued to your back lol

Does that mean on sale or leaving the gem store? It would be insane to remove them after a day – ppl can’t be expected to login everyday to know about these things.

What I’ve noticed is that he’s avoiding answering whether or not he runs teq while on high graphics settings. Probably so he can continue complaining.

This post isn’t about why it crashed, it’s about the poor decision to kick people out of the map when they DO crash. This doesn’t just apply to me, it applies to anyone who crashes any time during events like this.

I do run Teq on high graphics, just like every other fight. I didn’t crash the first time, I crashed the second and third times, and I didn’t crash the fourth time. I’ve never crashed any other time on any other boss. My FPS has dipped pretty low on some of them too.

It’s not necs a decision. It may be something they are unable to implement.

Whilst I know you don’t want to hear ppl advising how to help solve the issue, this situation is not going to change anytime soon. It’s been mentioned since launch, which suggests a deeper issue than them just deciding yes or no to do it. many ppl have solved the issue outright by doing what has been advised above. I know, I’m one of them.

There are better in this thread, but this is my thief

I agree. Ascended chests are too rare for the current state of things to make any sense

Yeah first time seeing Behe was quite something. Most of the big bosses really, but Behe was my first real “wow” moment

I’d rather templates to add multiple armour sets be added first so we can switch to what we want quicker

Is there a tonic to turn you into a pig? Because I can see whole groups jumping off a cliff screaming;

If a lot of ppl dc and don’t get back in on time it would hamper the fight for everyone else is they were placeheld. There may also be coding/resource logistics to this as to why it can’t happen. Plus plenty of other issues which could be causing this.

They didn’t think one day “lets punish our players by doing this”. If such a system doesn’t exist, it’s likely for a good reason which effects the game as a whole for the better which we can’t see.

Is it a pain? of course it and most people get affected here and there. My advice would be to try and sort the root of crashing issue out. Since everyone isn’t dc’ing at Teq at the same time, something is wrong either with your connection or your ISP or your hardware. If it was happening this regularly, I’d be changing settings or setting up a ticket and asking Tech support to find the root of the issue.

They are pretty good at isolating these things when given crash reports.

Until they can decide whether to add a playable version, yes this would be an excellent stop gap

I’m sure they have a tribute to him in Star Trek Online, which is a far more appropriate venue than GW2.

I believe there was a fitting tribute and gathering at Vulcan over the weekend.

As culturally significant as Spock was and as tragic as Nimoy’s death is to many, it simply isn’t relevant to GW and many would prob scratch their heads in wonder at why it wold be added (although I kinda liked the Asura idea from Astral…)

After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but is often true.

I like your thinking there Harper. I will stand with you on the hill when that time comes.

You have my axe!

Collision Detection? Did I miss something? You speak as if something interesting has been announced but I haven’t heard anything about collision detection.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/get-readycamera-changes-are-coming/

I presume its an idea spun off from the new collision sensitivity of the camera which helps prevent objects blocking the camera movement

I would start a new thread and pop in the bugs subforum so it has better visibility to those who can sort such an issue

The Charr were kind of there first. The humans came along to Tyria with the Gods and kicked the Charr from their own lands, renaming the area they stole as Ascalon.

Don’t be silly…. animals cannot own land. You cannot steal something from Charr, they have about same rights to any land as deer or pigeons.

I’d personally prefer the fractal system where you take the role but keep your build/weapons. I hated the Caithe/GW Turai versions which took away the skills I’d got used to and gave me something much more unwieldy

Although it would be a late addition and risks alienating the in game spore events, I’d prob buy one

Those events pretty much never get done now anyway.

Fair point. I’m prob one of the few ppl who genuinely enjoys doing them

It’s the same story with something like Triple Head Worm. It doesn’t need a nerf, because those more skilled players need harder/coordinated content to enjoy. I have no issue with that. But, yes the reward structures are poor for these events. If ppl are going to invest the time in the content they need a return for that. Fun and challenge alone only stretches so far.

It will also bring a wider audience into it. It’s one of the issues I have with metrics on these things – people don’t play them because there is little incentive to do so, not because they unpopular as a piece of content in itself.

Although it would be a late addition and risks alienating the in game spore events, I’d prob buy one

Its more likely that either someone who knew the lore reported the name and it violated the criteria of not naming after lore characters or that the updated name filter caught it
