Guild Wars 2

I hoping this means if they will bring back t he PVP exclusive armours like the tribal, stalwat, heavy scale and maruder and the other missing pieces. How else can you be a true collector without getting those pieces??

Honestly I find most of the heavy armours manly the basic, fine and masterwork to be dull. They all look the same in term of armour shape if they were put in silhouette. Seriously the scale and tempered armors are the same but different texture on the skin!

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Tempered_Scale_armor

Yes I know they suppose to be not that fancy but come on! Even the warrior armour back in Guild Wars were more distinct looking than GW2

Honestly I don’t get why Asian people were offended since Africans didn’t get offended by the Elonia district?
Yes I know it has something to do with the the mixed Asian (Chinese and Korean) style for Cantha but come on!

Beside with the game out in China, what is the reception from Chinese players are like? Will they not get offended on the possible Cantha expansion that is if they know about GW?

I’m unhappy but it has nothing to do with the state of game. I’m just unhappy since I am part of a ghost town guild. The guild I’m with is part of this gaming website that I’m on quite oftern who the kind kind of repersent that site in a way. Needless to say it is quite lonely (yes a few guild members do logged on but the ones that do are from different regions).

Yes I know I can joined another guilds but I’m hard to be impressed.

Considering that I have over 19k achivements points, yes I am addicted to the game which I view it to be a bad thing.

I wished they abolish the Achievement system, people should return the game for fun, not for the achievements! Yes I know not everyone are getting the points which is fine which you should keep playing the game for other things than the points!

Let see-

When it come to SPVP I only joined the team that has the most heavy armors (Warrior or Guardian) players as I find that team to win most of the time. If there is no Warrior or Guardian, I joined the team that has the least Ranger and Thief as I find them to be least useful. In saying so however I have seen a team of thieves winning a match.

I’m terrible as a Mesmer, Engineer and Thief in SPVP, seriously how the hell do pro people played them so well???

I tend to run pass defeated/ people need ressing to ensure I do some damage to the champ in WvW including capturing a land or camp.

I regret making an Charr Guardian and Asura Engineer since I could of been the other way around (I liked their cultural armours). My Guardian became my favoutie (useful and high surivial rate) but it’s so annoying when it come to jumping puzzle including small tunnels like Troll’s End.

Speaking of characters, I regret that it took me three times to get my Sylvari Elementist right! Weeks after making it, I created him again because his colours combo was unappealing afterall (purple skin and orange hair) and I dislike the name given to him. Some time later when I got a Total Makeover Kit, I find him being a female far more appealing (which is also the first time that I played as a female in rpg) but I end up buying a name changer scroll since my character name is male!

At the moment, 100g which I tend to keep my amount like that (I don’t let it drop below 100g unless I had bought too much stuff without checking my golds).

I tend to do Karka and Teq most days depending if I got the time for it and I sell whatever exotic I don’t want (I keep if it’s a new skin I don’t have or salavage the sigil or rune).

While It’s a longer process but I forge any three dungeon weapons I get from the PVP track reward and use a stone since I have been saving a few when I stop using them on my rare (yelow) items.

Yeah they should of made those obtainable in PVE after the wardroble patch.

Seriously I want to get the missing stalwart shoulder piece (I am NOT going to make a new character just to replay the story to get the missing piece!)

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stalwart_armor

The same with this SPVP armor only too! It look cool
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Marauder_armor

Also wasn’t there a SPVP heavy armor that is also unobtainable aswell?

What’s not to get?

Sure I understand that the Glorious Hero armours is for Tournament reward players only and the Glourious Hero is rewarded at the end of a new reward track in SPVP which anyone can entered SPVP.

If you really want it, then you going have to work for it and not expect a hand out this time round!

Yes it is going to takes weeks to get it but you will get it eventually! I mean the reward cap is two full bars in the reward progress and the progress will vary depending on your win/ lose rewards (win is 500 glory and lost is 200 glory). Yes the fight won’t be easy and you may get a name called or two so just suck it up!

The only time I seen that happening is when the Asians don’t get their panties in a knot over the aesthetics style for Cantha. (No offences to them.)

I mean the reason why we didn’t get a Canthan district like the Elonian did in Divinty Reach is that they were offended (where the pavillion is) with the mix Chinese and Korean style for it.

Ok granted the game is now release in China so they may mellow out abit or maybe they should work with some people in China to making new Cantha style that wouldn’t offend them so we have the best of both worlds.

I know I had posted on this before but I want to show my current update (in order of the images below)-

I pretty much got my Warrior the way I want him to look like as in a Barbarian/ Galidator hybrid althought I would like a different helm but the one I using (Dark Templar) is good for now.

My ranger was hard to make since I was trying to get that ranger look which is hard given to how most of the median weight armours are all trenchcoats styles. Once I got hold of the Pirory median armour, everything else started to click together with the helm, shoulder and arm.

I pretty much keep my Nercomancer as close to nercomance/ warlock like as much as possible. Granted the helm I’m using is the only hooded one that still show the horn. (Well there is Devot but the shoulder armour is attach with the helm, a bugged?)

I keep changing my Mesmer the most since there are quite a few light weighted armour that make him look gentlement like (I view the Mesmer to be fancy looking in term of apperance). Granted the shoulder is the only good gentlement apperance that goes well with the other parts.

The Guardian was also hard due to the race I playing it on due to the Char body structure is different when the armour is apply but I mainly keep its apperance heavy armour/ fortify tank sort of look since I view Guradian to protect others. There wasn’t that many options for the helm since it was either the Barbarian, legion or branded that I liked the most on it.

My Engineer is not made yet so it’s only a preview. As with the ranger, the Engineer armours was hard to make cos of the trenchcoat but then I notice the Ascalion median armour chest piece, perticually the rivet/ spots pattern on it. I remember seeing those spots on other armours and I eventually got my ideal look for it. I will take a while to make that preview a reality since I need do some Ascalion (chest) and Flame Legion (feet) rewards on PVP.

The thief armor was unexpected. I wanted to make a proper thief like armour but I end up with some kind of a sky captain sort of look but none the less I find it to be cool looking!

Lastly my Elementalist was a tricky one since there are plenty of good armours for female light weight armour meaning there was a few armor combo I could of went for. In the end I went with the details exotic look althought I did wanted some exposed skin like the olde female Elementist armors had in GW but practicality previal in the end. It was a tought call on the chest thought since I would of went with the pirory chest piece (I was put off with the boob cup armor it had on it).

Yeah I notice that straight away and I am assuming it will be a new character? Maybe this character will lead us to the new location?

I chose to saved Smodur first since he was closer (I don’t remember the positions of the leaders) and he’s also my race leader too (I playing the LS with my Charr guardian).

So am I the only one who was more interesting about the soon to be character we will meet after season 2 start back up again (you did saw the face right)? I think this unknown character is female any maybe another Sylvari (only cos of the branches on the eyebrow).

Anyway I with the Youtube comments made on that person link that it involved Glint from Guild Wars.

Not only the crystal reminded me of her cave but also Zephyrites did locate her corpse after the event of Edge of Destiny in one of the lore when they were introduse in the game especially when season 2 started with the bomb in their airship/ home.

With that in mind I also betting that what the Master of Peace is up to in that he know where her body is.

Yeah those two crack me up (the most unlikely duo). Still I don’t really like that our character is somewhat unfriendly with Canach.
Sure I don’t think we should start buddy up with him but I don’t him to be that evil (his intention were good but his method need some revision) unlike Scarlet.

I gotten two so far (out of around 20 keys or more) but the funny thing is that I am not that obsessed at getting an Ambrite weapon at all.
I guess having no desire for an item will lead you to getting an item but if that was the case I would of gotten a precusor by now.

Honestly the part when Taimi saying why she had to sacriface her device, I wanted to make a remark at how Majory had “sacriface” her sister. Ok granted hers was an accident but still.
Anyway, sure I didn’t wanted Taimi to lose her invention but they were kind of desperate since if they had the time, couldn’t they get another council member to joined the summit? Beside being famous for a device is useless when everyone had been killed by the dragon.

I assume our characters came to known the newest elder dragon name the same way how he/ she came up his/ her own theory on what Scarlet goal was (the character mention in sometime around attack on Lion Arch). In another word, he or she did some digging that we were unaware of despite controlling him/ her.

Ok I had bookmakred this thread! Seeing the moose, made me laugh, seeing a Quaggan, had me in stitches and now that Doylak link!! I will died from laugher if this keep up!

This is something I have been wondering since last night.

Yes I read the part that the machine has been improved nor did your character start speaking crazy like or start killing his/ her teammates. While the new Divinty Edge don’t view your character to be crazy but that doesn’t mean the people in the meeting will view our characters to be sane once it has been explained he/ she had entered into Omadd machine.

The point of this topic is will the wellbeing of our characters will be address in episode 3 of season 2 or maybe they will add some insanity like moments in the next installment? Example like our character mistaken npc for enemy similar to the spore? Worse to come would be seeing illusion or vision of Scarlet!

It would be an interesting plot development if the meeting with the leaders went horribly wrong due to our character mental state and had become a fugitive!

Yeah I admit I actually like the second episode of season 2.

The death was unexpected (we will never get to know why she kept her distance from Kasmeer) and an interesting plot development at the end. Still I don’t get why we need an audence with the Pale Tree especially when if you played as an Sylvari?

I guess they no longer let stranger enter the importance people room? Even then if they want them to listen to him, as much as I hate typing it out, they should go to Trehame first, the people will definitely listen to the mary sue him.

Lastly yest, both the ambtite AND the lay line weapons are good looking (well in my view).

I don’t get how she was killed exactly? To me it look like she got tangle up on the vine. At least with the other dead Seraph were strangle by the vines. Even then should she let out a scream or something?

Yeah it was pretty cool. So wait does those 7 orbs repersent the elder dragons since the green orb that entered the center is Mordremoth?

Also does the funny dialogue part after the scene differ from race to race? I was playing as my Charr guardian and Braham mention the magic coming out of my ear and someone mention about my fur (or was it hair) standing up?

I kind of finding the story tedious at the moment. not only does it involved alot of going to point A to point B just to advance the story but the boss fight was bloody annoying.

You have to find the aspect crystal before it vanish and once you do, you get up on the pillar to face the boss and then he throw grenade at you which if you don’t dodge away in time, it blown you off the pillar and you’re back to finding the crystal. Need I remind you that the pillar are already small in the first place leaving you very little space to dodge and remain on top of the pillar.

While I won’t say it’s a plothole but I am baffle at how a mining town exist in the firstplace without any proper support like an asuran gate nor have they fully explain why they chose themselves to be isolated from the other major settlements.

I don’t like it, just like that Flame and Frost dungeon artwork loading screen, it just look unfinish (too abstract).
No I’m not saying it should look like realistic artwork, it should just be consistent with the other artworks in the game already (the other loading screen) therefore it should have more details into it.

If it is a bugged then they better fixed it as doing the current season 2 story was somewhat tedious (involve going to point A to point B to advance the story and the boss was annoying as hell when he blown you off the platform).
Most of the time I played the story as my Guardian (best suvivor out of my character) but since jumping puzzle are involved, my Asuran Mesmer is ideal for that (Charr Guardian) and I already preoccupy in the game like doing WvWvW, pvp etc.
While the main game story is somewhat mandatory that if you want to do the explored version of the dungeon what do we get out of the season 2 story? Just loots and achivements? Yeah that alone isn’t worth redoing the stories for all of your characters.

I notice that glitch too mainly when I picked up the orb but I then try to quickly dodge (normally when one of her shadow is close to the orb).
I just glad I didn’t try most of the guantlet last year since the amount of repair I had used against her would had been alot!
Honestly I am fed up when they divide the players into two groups, hardcore and casual.

They should of added a hardmode once you beat them normally so that you can get your achievement normally and do the hardmode out of personal achievement (and there NO ingame achievements on hardmode like we need to suffer anymore)!

Yeah no, sorry but I don’t shared the same sentiment some of you have for this boss and I am putting it nicely (I am having such an inner rage right now).

By all means I like to have a challange like any other gamers (I mean what the point in playing a game with no challange) but not to the point that I had to used my mats and gold into new gears and weapons (which I am unfamiliar with) and reading and watching several guides just for ONE boss! I even literally buff my character to the max (food and booster buff) and I’m still struggling against her (I invested an hour or two against her in the past few days)!!!

I want to give up but since I am an achivement grabber, I am begrudgingly forcing myself to try to beat her which I probably won’t beat her by next week.

Also I dread to think about the OP statement on making something similar to this boss fight but to a party dungeon!! I mean just look back at the past dungeons Atherblade Retreat and Twilight Abor Atherblade path! Those two dungeons clearly went to well among the players (not)!

I would like for that profession to have a melee weapons like a sword or dagger since there are times when using a range weapon is not ideal (mainly reflective shields) which the Engineer are composed of.

It depends really.

Female Asura and Charr light armours are the same male light armours so I guess there is no complain on not wanting skimpy armour (what gives? would people get put off from seeing skimpy light armours on those races?).

Anyway I voted on the last one and this is coming from a guy. Sure I like sexy skimpy armour like some guys but when it come to playing the actual game, I want realistic armours for my gal character (my female Sylvari Elementist) but in saying so being a light armour does mean being light so I guess I can’t complain (I know what the female armours are like for medium and heavy armour and I don’t liked it from a realistic poin of view).
Granted I don’t blame it solely on Anet (however I will blame them for being bias on light armour designs over heavy armour designs) as many mmo and rpg have this aswell.

I’m from Deso and I haven’t got my ticket yet despite I have completed all of the Tournament 2014 achivements….

I also liked to point out that I didn’t transfered at all and other people from Deso did get the ticket.

Chuck.8196:

Where did she come from? From what I remember she just showed up following Braham one day. Still no idea of her intentions.

She’s came from Rata Sum and Zoija is her mentor ( Zoija protege). I think she somehow sneak pass Zoija as she was a Scarlet fangirl cos she was heavily interested in her invention and idea and somehow ended up on their team.

I’m in the middle of making a custom set for my thief (Scarim Coral) and my Warrior (Farlan Rakarson) thanks to the Wardrobe system.

Originally I want to make my thief more assassin like (however in my opinion, only the Sneakthief armor and Human T3 only capture the GW Assassin profession look) but the overall result for the time being seen to make him look more like a sky captain-

Head- Noble Google (I only using this at the moment cos the usual medium armour class mask (cover lower part of the face) doesn’t seen to suit it.
Shoulder- Outlaw Shoulder (either this or the Commando shoulder)
Chest- Temple chest
Glove- Heritage glove (Leather glove also work but I don’t it’s pratical per say since I used pistol and wearing studdy leather glove would affect the trigger in my view).
Pant Temple pant (I would change this again since I don’t want to used the same set more than once.)
Boot- Rogue Boot

My warrior on the other hand is not having the desired result I want it to have. I’m trying to make him more like a galidator/ barbarian sort of look as in less armour and one of the arms is more armoured than the other but I want him to have a long skirt for the pant. At the moment the head, chest and arms matched but the others parts not so much. Also none of the shoulder armours compliment the current set it (since I got the spike/ sharp look going I want the shoulder to be one side and spiky too).

Geez if you really find it hard to acquire new armours and weapons skins after the patch, just look up Dulfy guide to getting them.

Ok sure only like less than 10 are now available right now (Tribal and commando etc) but one can hoped they will put them back in somehow.

I am having this problem right now. I’m not too sure if the problem is on my end or theirs since the main site on here isn’t loading at the moment. In saying so however if the problems is on their end, this forum wouldn’t load either aswell since that what happened in the past. I guessing the cause of this is this week WvWvW tournament standing being changed?

Also how exactly did you “repair” it?

EDIT- Nevermind, the game is working now.

Yeah I’m really annoyed by the recent end track reward. I spend hours today (on my day off) to get from track 7 to the final track just to get one armour piece especially when I am dying to wear that armour for my character for ages now.
Seriosuly I just want to moved onto another track not to do it again and even it getting tokens along the way, it will take weeks to get it (atm I’m busy at work so less time on the game)!
I guess this would make me want to played the dungeon now but who is going to let a noob into their party?

Let see-
Name- Guild Wars 2: Utopia (yes I’m taking it from their abandon GW expansion idea) or Hunt

Plot- Continue where Guild Wars 2 had left on as you continue the hunt for the rest of the elder dragons!

Story- Pick your own story path (for real and no Trahearne!) as you can choose to slayed any dragon in any order and the story will adjust to your piroty.

Features-

New region-
Tackling Jormag will take you further up North to the Far Shiverpeak.
Hunt down Kralkatorrik in the crsytal desert.
Venture deep underground as you rout out Primordus.
Explored Magus Falls as you try to seek out Mordremoth
Wait there’s more! The path to Elona and Cantha has been open! Investigate what had happened to those region after the rise of the dragons?
The personal stories that your character take will also continue aswell.

The lesser races are no longer less!, Played any of the lesser races- Koda, Tengu, Skritt, Quaggan Grawl or Ogre or Hylek.

New professions- Either a Ritualist like class, Chronomancer, Summoner (two abandon classes in GW Utopia) or a new heavy armour class.

New Dungeon- Quora Sum (Asura lost city underground), Eye of the North (I mean is there anything undernearth or above it seeing how the Ebon Vanguard did used to lived there) and more!

New Pvp and WvWvW maps!

I actually notice a similar bug yesterday. I have been collecting some of the skins for the new Fashion achivement and I notice that some skins doesn’t appear in the wardobe despite I did unlocked it.

So far I had notice this on the Warden armour (medium) for the glove, legging and shoe (I attach an image of the warden shoe not shown in my wardobe). I think has something to do with those skin image is the default medium armour piece image instead of being its own unquie images that the other skins has gotten from the last patch.

In saying so however the Duelist and Stalker skins do shared the same default medium armour images.

I thought it started it off alright but only enjoyed it from the Frost and Fire story till the Twisted Clockwork. Granted I loathe Aetherblade retreat and Twilight Abor Aetherblade path (far too coordinates is require when I’m more of a PUG dungeon player).

Other than that I started to hate it when they start shoehorning in Scarlet involvement in the living (I dread to think how she would of been involved if Evon had won the vote and we got the Abandom fractal).

Seriously the last living story we had that Scarlet was not involve at all was Winderday (I’m glad Scalet wasn’t it it and playing as the Grinch) as I don’t see why she was somewhat involve in the Edge of the Mist living story when Mai has not been located in there at all.

So overall I have not been impressed with the Living Story as a whole (Fail in my book).

Draknar.5748:

Renkencen.6127:

Also isn’t the whole a greater villain than the first villain is a trope/ cliche anyway?

Normally, but correct me if I’m wrong, I never played GW1, aren’t Dragons kind of the main bad guy in this universe? If so, then it isn’t cliche, but rather in line with their universe’s narrative. Assuming dragons in GW1 could direct others to do their will, which I’m led to believe was possible.

If that’s the case then this was a great way to introduce this dragon and “dragon champions” whatever those are, to people new to the GW world, as well as a tip of the cap to people who are already versed in the GW lore.

Yes the dragon is the main antagonist in GW2 but the OP (ThiBash) think that Scarlet stand equal to them but thanks to the recent event she is pretty much the lesser villian overall.

Also in GW1 there is no dragons well Elder dragons per say (well there’s Glint) and originally the villains in GW1 are stand alone villians that is in the Nightfall expansion the god Abandon (main villain in that game) had in a way influence the villains in Prophecies and Fraction.

Do you really think Scarlet would of told you everything at the end? Well ok she was kind of begging to be asked about it from the cutscene.

Silvercyclone.1462:

There is no actual evidence supporting that the dragon was the one talking to her. People just came to that conclusion cause it was a dragon that woke up at the end.

In Scarlet journel (from the Marionette event) she mention about an entity that keep staring and talking to her, driven her mad http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Scarlet_Briar%27s_Journal unless you think this entity is entirely a different character/ thing? I mean why else she went to great length to awaken it? To killed it herself to stop the madness or it was the entity will?

Also isn’t the whole a greater villain than the first villain is a trope/ cliche anyway?

Honestly for some reason I was expecting one of the characters to be killed off but either way I was glad with the happy ending (well it won’t be happy for them when they face another dragon problem).

Anyway I am dying to know about Rox warband entry. I mean will she tell the truth that it wasn’t her that slay Scarlet but it was the hero or lie about it as she clearly didn’t cut off Tequatl tail (we were all there doing that tail dodge achievement and Rox wasn’t there unless she swim and cut off the tail after we beat Teq)?

Either way I predicting Rox may act “screw you” well defiance toward Rylok requirement to joined his warband but Rylok had already accepted her anyway (I mean there must be many Charr that wanted to join the Stone warband).

So does this means that Scarlet was pretty much a dragon champion since afterall Scarlet was changed by the “entity” aka that dragon who awoken at the end of the cinematic?

Yup I’m having this problem right now. It was fine hours ago in the morning (I went to work in the afternoon),

Pifil.5193:

They’re not going to remove Glory on March 18th, you just won’t be able to get any more Glory after March 18th so that vendor will still accept Glory.

Ok that clear it up abit and I have read the news again which say we not be awarded with glory. With that being said, how is it we can still earn glory after the update? Is it that bit of glory we get from playing each matches?

What I want to know is while they said they will keep that December 10 Glory vendor (the Koda who sell dungeon and cultural armours and others stuff) after the March 18 update but what is the new currency used to replace the glory needed to buy those stuff or will that Koda just accept coins only?

There better be an answer soon since I don’t want to spend hours to glory farms for the armours I want to get.

Well I’m under the impression that Scarlet had brainwash them all (maybe from Hylek potions?) seeing how Krait tend to enslave the other races, Dredge hate Norn which some Aetherblade member are and etc.
It was made clear that some Aetherblade members fear Scarlet (Mai and Spur) so why stick around when they can flee (is she really that scary?) and since Scarlet current plan (target Lion Arch) is no longer related to the Alliences goals (unless Scarlet promise to reward them greatly for their service) I don’t get why they are still serving her unless her influence is great as in mind control level (since she doesn’t inspire loyality among her troops).

Honestly I’m just getting tried that Anet think we are one big friendly community who can cooperate with each other just fine. Ok sure that is true but NOT when you’re in a team with strangers!

I mean come on! The molten allience dungeon was perfect while the newer dungeons have to be so much taxing due to them wanting to get us to think outside of the box! Again I know people will disagree with me who loved the difficulty and challange but I don’t epescially when I don’t see the dungeon run being successful due to ragequitter or those who are doing it for the first time!

Agreed. I mean doing Arah story mode or Fractal (the only few dungeons I partake) only taken over an hour at most with successful PUG party but for this… This is one of the reasons why I given up trying to played the dungeon again altogether.
