Guild Wars 2

Obsidian.1328:

Well…I never considered the central area we get to explore is all there is of Ascalon. Why assume that’s all there is left when we don’t do that for the other factions?

Well, the problem with that is that we do have a map…

http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/3/30/Tyria_unexplored_map_2.jpg

You can see there there is mountain rang to the south of the area affected by the searing and below that some area that appears to still be farm-able land, but the question becomes was that Ascalonina territory? I don’t think it was.. because Ebonhawk would be in those mountain ranges, and I think it was established that Ebonhawk was the most southern ascalon city..

While the guild missions are a nice addition, I think the problem I have with them is that they can be “Failed” I think we need more things for guilds to do that aren’t so much Succeed/fail as they are just something to DO as a guild… Here is an idea for a new purely fun thing for guilds to do…

Guild only Crab Toss, and Keg Brawl and SPvp* (And all future mini-games)

Introduce a new item to be Researched called a “Guild Pass”. This guild pass would be used at the Event coordinator for Crab toss, and Keg Brawl to only allow members of the same guild into an instance. This pass would allow guild members to compete for, say, five rounds before they are kicked and need to use a new pass, or enter into the general population.

• I don’t know enough about Spvp to know if this is not already possible, if it is feel free to let me know how, so I can organize this with my own guild..

Hello!

My name is Riz.. and I am Looking for a Role-play guild. I have been a role-player for a very long time, all the way back to Vanilla Everquest. That being said, I don’t think I am a very /Good/ Role-player.. but I still love doing it, and I miss Role-playing in Guild Wars.

Anyhow.. here are the things I am looking for in a Role-playing guild…

* Good-neutral alligned role-play

• No strict representing rules
• Most active from about Noon Est (4pm GMT) on till the early evenings.
• Order Role-play a Plus
• No ERP
• Tarnished Coast Server Preferred, but will guest anywhere to RP

If you need more information from me about my Character or anything else, of if you think I might fit into your RP guilf, reply here, send me PM, or message me in game.

Thanks for reading

Big Tower.5423:

2. Give commanders able to draw a long line on the map that not dissapear untill commander make it such.

5. Give commanders an option to dye their commander tag, such that it fits the theme of their characthers.

These two in Tandem could be interesting.. Let the lines appear in the same color as the tag the commander is using, so that people following “Commander Blue” know that the blue marks and lines are his.. and and people following “Commander Yellow” know the yellow lines belong to her (But limit it to say 3 or four colors per map)

Big Tower.5423:

6. Put a guild shield behind the commander tag when guild members see one.

Why?

My own idea, Make commanders appear BIGGER to players on their own side, or somehow make them easier to spot/target in a mass of people. Especially if they are Asura….

I dunno about all that, but I do know that some days, I don’t have the time to do a dungeon run, or maybe I just don’t feel like it.. I kinda liked having some locations where I could go for 30-45 mins and just kill stuff without having to do a lot of wandering around, and have a chance to earn some loot..

What really irritates me, is that Anet keeps setting itself up like this.. They give us these situations where there is the possibility of endless mobs, then instead of fixing that issue (endless mobs), they just remove the loot or alter the loot table to make it pointless to farm there, and almost pointless to even GO to that location at all….

PS.. Also.. I thought the point of DR was to limit the amount of time one could spend farming in a given location? If “Remove the loot” instead of “Fix the endless spawns” is going to be Anet’s reply to these kinds of things.. why even have DR?

darkace.8925:

Think of all the foods we could make if crab meat were made an ingredient: crab legs, crab cakes, crab pastas, crab bisque, crab sushi rolls (?)…

Now I’m hungry.

Ooh.. had not thought about all the other possibilities…. Although “Crab Sushi Rolls” are basically what a Karka Roll would be..

Crab Meat + Seaweed + Rice Ball + Avocado = Karka roll

Double-click to consume.
Nourishment (30m):
+50% chance to resist Knockdown
+70 toughness
+10 Experience from kills.

Yea? Just need to turn the Crab meat trash drop into an actual food item, and your good to go…

What should I add to this?

Oh yes.. we Love Social people.. Talkers (In text chat, or Voice Chat).. If you are the kind of person who would log into the game and be like “Hello guild! What kind of trouble are you getting into and can I join you?!”

We would love to have you

I too have no idea who Lady Lasmeer is..

Any Chance we will see a Cleaning of the TP?

emikochan.8504:

I wish I could trade to people standing next to me :/

This Would fix the Mail issues…

Gotcha.. Still Seems like he could have come up with some way to be More helpful than he was… .Oh well..

Erukk.1408:

My personal theory is that the Personal Nemesis is probably behind both of them,\

Who??

I must have missed something, but.. I can not for the life of me understand why Knut Whitebear didn’t want to send Any help to the people of Craigstead..

Can Someone point out what I missed??

I agree, I often offer ports to the Sharkmaw jumping Puzzle, and I get Suppressed after just two or three messages in map chat that I am offering a port. Its even worse when I craft and send my SO armor and weapons when he gets a new level, I often need to send him 15+ items and get suppressed after only sending two mail.

These forms hate me, and I can not figure out what I am doing wrong to make this post look so messed up on my end…

So, last night in my Guild on Tarnished Coast got to thinking about The Twelve days of Christmas, and we came up with a Guild Wars Version… Here it is for your..

Looking for an NA server with Temple of Balthazar open?

Is the Temple open on any US Servers at the moment?

Bumping this for a great guild… I’m boring tho.. so No Shenanigans from me…

I think they should make guesting work as it did at the start. You invited your friends into a group, then chose a location, Say Queensdale, you all go to the same location, but on different servers, and then hit “Join in Map” (or what ever it said)

You can play with your friends, but only with your friends, you can’t exploit World event chests as easily..

Not everyone has friends on other servers, in fact all my friends are on the same server. But I play at different times of the day, and there are servers that are better suited for a particular play time then others.

I’ m sorry to hear that.. But that is not the point of guesting to start with… Search the Wiki for Guesting and the very first line of the Wiki article says

“Guesting allows you to play with friends on other worlds in the same region without paying a fee.”

Like I said, I am sorry you have weird play time.. I often have odd play times too, and in fact just pulled an all nighter.. Didn’t stop me from completing any events I set out to do, the only thing it did stop me from doing was Fractals or Dungeons, but I use GW2LFG for that, and that is Region wide.

CapN Biku.6024:

Rizalee.4593:

They are talking about Fractals.. not Dungeons…

“This also applies to explorer mode on the dungeons.”
This was taken directly from OPs post, it’s all the way down.

Yea.. I didn’t even read that line…. also its a moot point, because Credit for Explore Modes in any given dungeon IS account bound already.. At least, I am pretty sure I did not do two paths of Arah on my lvl 22 Engineer….

Yea.. I didn’t even read that line…. also its a moot point, because Credit for Explore Modes in any given dungeon IS account bound already.. At least, I am pretty sure I did not do two paths of Arah on my lvl 22 Engineer….

CapN Biku.6024:

All the dungeon tokens are account bound so you can do the dungeon on one character and then have another buy the gear. Although you still have to have one person in the group who has done Story mode, but there are plenty of those.

They are talking about Fractals.. not Dungeons..

Aside from that, I agree! I have 4 Level 80 Characters, and its driving my nuts trying to get them all into the same general fractal range.

Exploration is not fun the 2nd… 3rd or 4th time that you do it. Points of Interests, Vistas, and Skill points are easy to do and can be enough to keep a player busy for quite a while.. However the Hearts are soooo very Boring, and sometimes very time consuming…

What I am proposing is the ability to “Spend” a Gift of Exploration on 175 “Heart notes”

These Notes would act as a Letter from a character who has achieved 100% map completion. These notes would basically ask Heart NPCS to “assist” your character, as they are “Very good friends” with the Map Completed Character. This would allow the player to basically “Skip” a portion of Karma Hearts that they have already completed once, but that for what ever reason they do not want to complete again.. For example, I do not like the “Pig Magic” Karma Heart in Kessex Hills, nor the “Heal the seraph” heart in Gendarran Fields. After having completed all these hearts on my Thief, I could then spend one Gift of Exploration on my Mesmer to earn the ability to skip, just about half of the Karma hearts needed for 100% map completion on another character.

There would be a limit of one gift sold per character, the notes would be Soul Bound, and even after using all the Tokens, a player would still have to do 126 hearts, but at the least they would be hearts the player chooses to complete…

P.S Sorry if this post is a little scattered.. too many Energy Drinks.. not enough sleep…

I would like them to make it so that if a character has completed a Karma heart out in the world, you can buy the food items from the Karma vendors in town, once a day..

For Explample Bananas.. There are 4 different locations where you can acquire Bananas.

Let us say that you have only completed one heart that sells Bananas, Once a day from the vendor in any major town you can buy 1 “Bananas in Bulk” for 147 Karma. A week later, you have completed another heart, so you can now Buy 2 “Bananas in Bulk” for 89 Karma Each.. So on and so forth until you can buy 4 “Bananas in Bulk” per day for 49 Karma each..

This doesn’t stop people from going out to the Karma Hearts for large quanitities, but say I just need a few Bananas, instead of running out to one of the Hearts, I can get some from the karma vendor in town

I think they should make guesting work as it did at the start. You invited your friends into a group, then chose a location, Say Queensdale, you all go to the same location, but on different servers, and then hit “Join in Map” (or what ever it said)

You can play with your friends, but only with your friends, you can’t exploit World event chests as easily..

Kal Spiro.9745:

It’s a completely reasonable thing, and it gives us something to do with all the Karma we have lying around.

I buy booze with my Karma hic

Excursion.9752:

I think it would be nice to see the influence contribution of members as well. It would be quick easy way to see who is playing and not.

I like this idea, and was just taking about how nice it would be to see Influence gain for members..

Oh look.. another person who is playing an MMORPG (Massively MULTILAYER Online Role-playing Game) who wants to be able to solo everything….

Just because it’s multiplayer doesn’t mean you have to do everything as a team/party.

Never said you had to do Everything as part of a team or party, I was simply pointing out that as an MMO you should never expect to be able to do complete every aspect of the game through solo play..

It is pretty much common sense..

I have noticed that when transmuting items with the skins in the HoM that some of the icons revert to the appearance of the origion items, and do not keep the HoM item Icon.

The Following items revert to their a generic Icon related to their type, for example the Fellblade I transmuted today original had the same icon as a “Simple Greatsword” But it now has the same icon as any generic “Sword”

• Fellblade
• Chimeric Prism Focus
• Centurions Claw
• Wheelock Rifle
• Ithas Longbow

The Icebreaker, Wayward Wand Scepter, Deldrimor Mace, Seathunder Pistol, Living Short Bow, Diamond Aegis Shield, Flaming Beacon, Stygian Axe, Mountiancall Warhorn, Fiery Dragon Sword, and Gnarled Walking Staff all seem to keep their proper Icon upon transmutation.

I know its a minor thing, but it is irritating, so I thought I would post it in the Bugs forum.. Sorry if it has been posted before..

Oh look.. another person who is playing an MMORPG (Massively MULTILAYER Online Role-playing Game) who wants to be able to solo everything….

Please allow us to salvage Mist essences and/or Ectos from ascended rings, or allow us to throw them in the Mystic Toilet and maybe get a useful ring…

Rizalee.4593:

In Dungeons and WvW/Spvp change it so that it is a self target version of “Shadow Refuge” that only lasts say 7 seconds (about twice as long as shadow Refuge, because it is single target, your focusing on only hiding yourself, no one else)

TL:DR; Yes please, but ONLY if it doesn’t work in Dungeons and PvP

What part of Not in Pvp or Dungeons did you kittens miss?

I agree with the OP here…

I like WvW so it was no big deal for me to get all the Points of Interest and skill points in the Border lands and EB.. However, I can see it being a real pain in the kitten for someone who doesn’t like to Pvp to have to try and get those Points of Interest and Skill points.

Leave the skill points in the the Pvp areas, make them a “Bonus” for Pvp Players, But don’t require players who do not like to pvp to ever Have to set foot in the Borderlands.

I wanna be able to stealth like Zrii. That is one thing that really makes me mad.. The game having access to abilities that we as players can’t have(aside from Dragon specific abilities or course).. During Estate of Decay, Zrii disappears for a good 15min before reappearing, yea My rogue, who is all about stealth, cant do anything like that. That is really the killer for my Thief, no long duration stealth skill. To me a thief Is Stealth, and not being able to avoid more open world encounters is thy I gave up on my thief..

I suppose I was too spoiled by my Theif/Rogue in RIFT where I could stealth permanently as long as I didn’t do anything.

Guild Wars has always been great about preventing abilities from Being OP when they don’t want them to be.. So.. Give Rogues a Perma-steath ability on a mid duration recharge (Maybe 60 seconds) that only works in open world settings.

In Dungeons and WvW/Spvp change it so that it is a self target version of “Shadow Refuge” that only lasts say 7 seconds (about twice as long as shadow Refuge, because it is single target, your focusing on only hiding yourself, no one else)

TL:DR; Yes please, but ONLY if it doesn’t work in Dungeons and PvP

Maybe this is me thinking too much, but Orr sank over 250 years ago.. How do any of the corpses from that event still have flesh on them to start with??

I made a Suggestion a few days back about them needing to clean out the Traiding post on a regular basis, in order to keep the Economy fresh..

I hope its not against the rules to give links, but this is the tread, you could comment there, bump the thread, and maybe devs would consider fixing it…
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Clear-the-Trading-Posts-oders/first#post1306147

Blacklight.2871:

The only thing I’d disagree with in the above suggestions is #4. Always announce you are new to the dungeon when running it for the first time. It’s not just a courtesy, but it could save your backside. If you get a boot right off (happens rarely), it’s better than having it happen halfway through after you’ve wasted time and probably silver for repairs, and kitten off a bunch of people with your rookie mistakes.

Oh good point, forgot to mention that but its prolly very good advice

1. You should have gotten emails as you were leving up that told you when you could start doing Dungeons.. My recommendation is to start with Story Modes. Going in the proper level order because if you do that, they kinda tell a cohesive story

Ascalonian Catacombs (30)
Caudecus’s Manor (40)
Twilight Arbor (50)
Sorrow’s Embrace (60)
Citadel of Flame (70)
Honor of the Waves (76)
Crucible of Eternity (78)
The Ruined City of Arah (80)

2) I don’t know about “difficulty, average completion time” but http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dungeons will at least till you minimum recommended level, and location to all of them.

3) Stand around in LA reading Map chat, or visit www.gw2lfg.com

4) Not usually

5) Depends on your class.. your expected to know what abilities you have that are very helpful in specific situations, and if you don’t know, ask.

6) Any Profession is OK, but some like Guardian and Mesmer are Highly sought after because they are useful in many situations

The above is my opinion, and personal experience, and will likely be contradicted by every post that comes after it..

SynfulChaot.3169:

As for whether it is an exploit or not? I do not see why it is an exploit any more than picking up someone at the last minute for a boss. Someone comes in for little effort and reaps full rewards. The difference is that when we switch, at least as a player we put in full effort.

It seems to me this discussion is not quite what I thought it was….I was talking working our way to the last boss, of AC for example, on my Level 80 Warrior, then before we fight the last boss saying “Hey guys is it Ok if I switch to my lvl 55 Mesmer to kill the last boss?” The Level 55 Mesmer is the right level for the Dungeon, but has less survivability given how often people skip in that dungeon…

I find this no different that what SynfulChaot is points out above..

I’m not talking about switching at the last moment to get the reward, I am talking about switching before the last boss, and fully contributing to his defeat, in order to get the reward on a character that it is beneficial for..

Mad Rasputin.7809:

You are exploiting the system to get rewards/xp for a character who did not put in the necessary work/time to receive the rewards.

TL:DR I’m a player not a character, I should get to choose my rewards within reason.. Leveling the “Normal” way is boring after 2 or 3 characters, and no one will let you do dungeons unless you are level 80 already

Long version:

The problem is you are looking at it based on the character, not the Player.. I The Player put the work/time into doing the dungeon, and I should get to choose what one of my character’s gets the reward (Within reason).

Here is a personal example.. I have multiple lvl 80 characters, and I thought it would be fun, and worth the effort, to level my Mesmer up via dungeons. I can earn tokens for her, and not have to spend gold buying armor when she hits 80, just do runs of TA and CM for Rabid armor. I managed to get her to 55 through crafting, personal story, and a few AC runs.

Do you know how many CM/TA Runs I have managed to get, even tho my character is at/above the recommended level? Zero, Zilch, Nada.. Every group I join as my Mesmer has asked “Are you switching to an 80?” and when I say I was wanting to do it with this character they all say “Sorry, 80 only” and Kick me.. So, I have resolved to start asking to alt Switch on the last boss…

Because after getting to 80 the “normal” way 3 times, I don’t want to do it a 4th time… So, my choices are.. Level her up the “normal” boreing way.. or Look for groups that will allow me to “Alt Switch” at the last boss so she can level up, and I can earn tokens for the armor I want for her when she hits 80.

Ok thanks for the Info, I was worried it might have been a stealth Nerf to prevent players from using the troll to fight Kohler.

CHIPS.6018:

3) Skritt – Always works in teams of 3 (when you make 1 character, you get 3!). Strength and intelligent in numbers!

Oh wow yes, I never thought about that, but it would be kinda cool!!

1. Tengu
2. Quaggan
3. Skritt

That you are absolutely positive that you saw a Cave Troll spawn near Lt. Kohler?

I was running AC for tokens, and lately, I and a few friends had commented that the Cave troll SEEMS to have been moved deeper into the dungeon away from Kohler..

The last two times I saw him myself he was spawning in the left wing, between the Lover’s Crypt, and The Flooded Temple and again in the same room, just north of the tunnel leading to the Votive Cathedral..

Am I just having bad luck, or has anyone else noticed this as well?

Yes, The Aggro on Rez is plainly obvious, and one reason why people don’t seem to want to Res in a group.. Especially if they boss has an AoE attack..

Yes, I read that.. and like the 2nd line of the OP says..

(The Aggro page on the wiki is part of a section called “Out of date information” so I’m not sure how accurate it is.)

But thank you for moving it to a more fitting forum..

Hi ya’ll

Ive been running a warrior for a bit now, and I can not seem to get any solid information about Aggro, and how it works in the game (The Aggro page on the wiki is part of a section called “Out of date information” so I’m not sure how accurate it is.)

One person was telling me it had to do with Toughness, and that the more you had the easier it is to get aggro.. That seemed to explain why I always had aggro while running path 2 of SE.. (I was running with Scholoars, and Explorers with Rabid, and Berserker armor, I was in Knight’s armor )

Earlier today I was grouped with a Guardian with just as much, if not more Toughness than I have, and I still constantly got Aggro. She was telling me that the game targets the weakest person in the group, or the one who dose the most damage..

Contrasting this with my SE run from last night, I was the one with the Highest toughness, but the final boss of path 2 followed me the entire time I was in the fight, and I am sure to have been doing the least damage to it, and I was always farthest from the mob.. I spent the whole time Kiting the bosses…

Can anyone clear up the aggro issues for me? I know there are no “Tanks” in GW2, but with 20k Hp I think I am as close as one can get to a tank.. No?

The only reason I did not also include listed items as well is because of the listing fee.

It is true that some items are listed on the TP for exorbitant amounts of money. Eternity is right now listed for 5000g, the listing fee for that alone is like 250g, and While I think the asking price is crazy high, they own it, and they are free to try to sell it at what ever amount they feels is “Right”

Can Anet clear the Trading posts orders once a month or something?

I have noticed as I try to “Play” the trading post, that there are a great many purchase orders still left in the system that are below the minimum amount required for a given item.

Removing the out of date orders would make playing, and using the trading post a lot easier, as it would give an accurate depiction of what items are truly being looked for by other players.

I can recall may times after running a dungeon, when I would try to sell my loot to players before selling it to a vendor, when I would go to check the TP only to find that half the items that SAY they could be sold on the TP are really just the TP at temping to fill an order for an item that someone put in an order for 6 months ago for 28s when the minimum price of the item is 45s

This would also ensure that orders that are being filled are not being filled to people who perhaps stopped playing the game months ago, but left with huge orders in the system (Say all those people who were banned for Exploiting different things in the game?)

This could just be incorporated into regular regular Trading Post Maintenance. I dunno.. Just an Idea

Bah.. I am Not A drunken Berserker!! I’m a Knight.. Now… I’ll just take my beer and go home

I was enjoying my “Personal” story until it stopped being personal.

With the introduction of the pact story line (Minus your “Biggest Fear” part) and Trahearne I totally lost ALL interest in the personal story.. Mostly because its THE SAME on any character I make..
