Guild Wars 2

We get this thread daily,; the answer has always been, still is, and hopefully will always be: no.

The game is already a complete cluster-kitten of max size characters, giant, spiky armour, glowing greatswords and special effects. We don’t need them riding horses, sparkly unicorns or even some sort of mechanized, steampunk hippopotamus that radiates a green cloud full of carrots out of its nostrils.

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Definitely second that.

“Mission Permission” for officers.
Does that also include regular Guild Missions such as Rush, Challenge, etc?
If so, AMAZING.

A clue is in the word ‘begginer’.

Which mostly get camp mostly by END-GAME players. Funny game we play huh?

You know why? cause beginner don’t even know about these bosses exist, most newbies are there to do quests and luckily run into bosses, rarely.

End-gamers have timers phase and everything, camping bosses like some professional hackers. So when Shadow Behemoth is up, it drop dead in 5 minutes, so fast noobs past by not even notice it, sad really.

A clue is in the word ‘mostly’.

If you want to scale them, remove timers.

It’s not working for me at all. Tried relogging countless times, and nothing… What a tease =/

I was all excited and ran home from work. Turned game on, and nothing. Relogged about 12-14 times, adjusted countless settings… nothing. That’s just not cool =(

The information is being ignored because SAB. At this point there is nothing that SAB enthusiasts wants to hear than “Here’s SAB”. It’s called denial stage. It’ll clear up tomorrow, when the chances of SAB coming out will be slim to none.
At this point in time it happens that it’s a 1 year anniversary of SAB being released and standards been set, therefore SAB was expected. Since it hasn’t been announced, many have told themselves that it must be a surprise, regardless that it was said numerous amount of times that no content patches will be released before the end of the WvW Tournament.
It’s heartbreaking for a fan to expect to see something they love not come out as expected. Especially when they’ve been pumping themselves up for days now. It’s cool to get excited, but it got to the point where it wasn’t an excitement anymore, but rather expectation. And since it became “expected”, people get disappointed and angry, when they should be angry at themselves.
When SAB first came out it was a joke. It was a one time thing that wasn’t meant to get big, but rather something fun and refreshing. It’s not a joke anymore. It became something many of us got to love over the two short months we got to play it.
Don’t let SAB become living story that’s being rushed every two weeks, but rather something that’s polished and cherished by devs. Let them be absolutely excited when they release new world rather than cross their fingers and hope no bugs turn out because they had to rush it to get it out on time.

Sir Arthur.8905:

I think why you see so many duplicate threads is because the searching, navigation, and overall organization of the forums is… not optimal.

99% of the time, I have no idea where to put a post, and when that happens I try to use search…. and that just never goes well.

You mean the Search bar actually works? I’ve never found anything using the search bar in this forum. Since 95% of the time we either get:

No Results
Try a different search term.

Or 1 reply somewhere related to a broad topic I’m searching for. It’s practically not working. Try searching General Discussion for something as vague as “fractals”, “rewards”, “feedback”. It’ll get you nowhere.

Doggie.3184:

They can add a WvW map inside SAB then. XD

That would be AMAZING!
Or change the whole WvW into SAB theme xD

OneManArmy.9732:

wvw tourney suxx until they fix night caps (or reduce income by 95%). servers like sfr/vizunah wins only because they can cap towers 24/7 making tourney awful and predictable.

i don’t want to play wvw, i am tired. got 35 ranks (252 total), that’s enough for me. i want to relax with cup of tea.

and ….drumming you can play SAB while in q. wow! that’s unbeliavable! breaking news!

I’m not saying it’s right. I’m saying it’s a simple fact. Anet loves their WvW. They want to get as many people as possible into WvW as they can. SAB will do exactly opposite of that.

Plus it was announced a while back that there will be no content patches till some good amount of time after the Features Patch. You’re just expecting something that is not coming and was confirmed that is not coming.

I personally would love to play some SAB. It’s been a while. But I also know that it’s not something Anet will release around this time because of things that are happening. And SAB would literally steal the spotlight from all of it.

As to your “breaking news”, at least be realistic with them. Nobody would seriously accept a “q” when it’s ready when you’re in the middle of SAB. It just wouldn’t happen. Especially if you’re in tribulation mode.

You really expect to see SAB in the middle of WvW Tournament? C’mon people… It would be completely counterproductive for their big tournament if they were to release SAB right now. Especially considering the fact that SAB always stay around for four weeks.

Yup. It has been in release blog posts. Which also brewed tons of topics from dual wielders complaining and wanting compensation.

i just want to know the peoples opinion… feel free to leave if u dont like it

If you want opinions, look for hundreds upon hundreds of threads buried in here.
IMO, No. Just stop already…

TheThiefMaster.3812:

Reminiscent Valkyrie.3109:]LAST EDIT! SUCCESS! WE LOVE YOU ANET! Newest blog post here regarding account bound legendaries instead. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/account-bound-wxp-legendaries-and-ascended-gear/

Quite frankly your reaction to this is kinda pathetic , why would this make you happy? i could understand your dual wield concerns but to want to have legendaries completely removed from the wardrobe is…….erm whats the word I’m looking for here …..someone fills in the dots.

“Selfish”?

In the first month of GW2 making karma was hell (only from events), people still managed to get 1mil karma necessary for their legendaries. Then everything started giving Karma (dailies, dungeons, FoTM) getting 1mil karma was a matter of days. So people who farmed events for weeks got screwed, but that didn’t mean the change to karma was bad.

It is hell now though… For a sole reason of people complaining they had too much of it…

And this my friend is the reason we can’t have anything nice. #LegendaryWardrobe2014Remember #Never5get

Agreed.

This seriously reminds me of Fractured update where we wanted some kind of compensation for levels lost and had tons of people going against the idea. Difference is that we had nothing to show for it, you guys at least will have 2 BiS. Even though I’m sure you’d much rather made something else instead of the two same ones if you knew in advance.
We had the same problem leveling multiple toons in fractals, which that time would’ve been better spent doing level 28 over and over on one toon only rather than wasting time and gold leveling and equipping multiple toons for fractal 48+.
Guess what, compensation never came. Nor did any kind of discussion around it.
So as much as I’d love to see something compensated for you guys, even as little as a title, I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
Especially since that would raise an uproar from people that spent real life money on Gem items such as Majory’s daggers and/or armors and crap-ton of people that bought T3 for multiple toons.

Recount!!!!!!!!!!!

Sir Kaboomski.1508:

Or even just let us drop a stack of 250 luck into the mystic forge to make a potion that totals the value of the entire stack.

Luck is luck. I’m more concerned with bags. Those can’t be refined into a bigger bags like Luck can. It’s just way overdue.

I’m just gonna bump this up for importance. I really hope it’s part of the new Feature Patch.

ozmaniandevil.6805:

All I see in this thread are people whining and wanting to cash in. None of you has a valid argument. You obviously thought it was worth making two items exactly the same. You still have them. Nothing has changed except now you can use it MORE. Oh noooooeeeeesss!!!! Pu-lease. I feel the salivation dripping from those just waiting for all their legendaries to get unbound so they can make a killing by selling them.

You are losing nothing. The change costs you nothing. Your argument is invalid in every way.

Clearly this is invalid. If it was so bad and insignificent, Anet would have replied 200 replies ago. They realize that there is this issue, and they are trying to make everyone happy. Please stop being disrespectful and just wait for an official update(if any) and not criticize this niche gamer society. We are addressing an issue that seems illogical, we don’t need your comments to flood this thread.

I don’t need a compensation, I just want the system to treat all dual wielders more fairly, with the ONE dual wield weapon, ONE display concept.

You will wait for a long time than. It’s the same thing as a fractal reset. As long as majority is happy, Anet will omit the small percentage. At least you will still have something to show for your hard work. Two legendary status items in each hand. Us fractal players don’t have anything to show for it.

Regardless don’t expect to get any kind of compensation when it’s for something that benefits majority of players. I’m not saying it’s right, I’m just saying that’s from experience with Anet, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

love it!

That information was available since the release of Leaderboards last year.

https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/na

It was only accessible through the site itself up until now, since they are making it it visible in game.

You’re kinda late with your “privacy” concerns.

Nope, I raised my voice against at that time as well.

Yeah, but considering this is the selling point of this blog, they won’t do anything at all. Especially since the information is already widely accessible to all players. From the information they gave us I can assume that this info will be visible only to guild leader and maybe her/his officers.

g e o.2589:

Well there were many incidents when someone a newcomer was given a right to withdraw from guild bank (right was given by guild leaders ofcourse) and they would take everything valuable, and leave the guild – practically infiltration robbery.

oh and there have been many incidents where 2 guildies would run some difficult content with 3 pugs and then kick them at the end to make space for other people.

Those would make sense, but it is not certain that this is what they were referring to.
To me it sounds more of a “We did stuff with guild stuff about griefing.”
It doesn’t tell us anything at all. Some clarification would be nice.

“Finally, we’ve improved the support for guild members in the system and made some improvements on the back end to reduce opportunities for griefing.”

You guys mind clarifying it at all? It’s way too vague…

Azreell.1568:

I think anything less would be insulting.

Welcome to the world of Anet.

valaryss.1026:

The reason why i think it is a must need it will bring more rping , bring more pvping amongs guilds aka gvg GOD I MISS THAT also gives more to the gamers haveiing own housing , would give rpers more in dept to there rping and also to the perosnlize there own toons and have or be able to craft it guild halls the same way i basicly was looking for this so much when guild wars 2 came out main reason why i bought the game was for that it was a big let down that this wasnt added but the game it self wasa great turn around i look forward to anet and guild wars 2 to bring these housing and guild halls out i think speak for alot of ppl when i say pplease brign these things out

2 commas!

And not a single punctuation mark!

On the serious side, housing is not important to me at all. I’d rather have them spend development time on working on actual game rather than Barbie House…

Might as well be SAD right now, since there is no way they’ll put up one of the most beloved contents out at the same time the WvW Tournament starts. They want to get as much people in WvW as possible and SAB would do exactly opposite of that.

Heh. These new players complaining how hard it is to get gold these days. They should’ve played when the game first came out, where there were no gold at end of every dungeon and champs being committed because they didn’t drop crap.

ima kongkittenninja.3052:

Yeah, makes no sense why there is no title for Crafting a Legendary(s)

The problem is that the achievement isn’t for crafting a legendary, but for equipping it. So you can easily buy the title.

While I agree with what you said, the same could be said for the miniatures. All it takes is a friend with all the mini’s to send them to you, you put them in your collection and then you have the title. Then you just send the mini’s back to your friend.

At least with buying the legendary, that takes a huge amount of gold to buy 5 of them. Plus once they get equipped, you cant just sell them off again. So with that you sill technically earned the title by buying the legendary with that much gold I suppose.

Oh yeah, I’m in no disagreement on this part at all. Fully support the idea for Legendary title. It would be nice to have rather than just 5AP. I just wanted to highlight buying/crafting part of the deal, since he specifically mentioned “Crafting a Legendary(s)”.

Mark Katzbach.9084:

…The way progression and rewards work in Guild Wars 2 have changed quite a bit since we initially talked about that feature, and our main horizontal progression systems are about to get some additional updates in the upcoming feature pack. Because of that, we are looking into several ways to integrate building your precursor into our new updated reward and progression systems we’re working on, which is requiring additional development time and iteration…

This is practically saying “Hey we haven’t been working on it at all, but as we looked at it now, our initial ideas we were throwing around don’t really work anymore. So back to drawing board”

Mark Katzbach.9084:

…As always, we’ll share details on this system once it’s far enough along in production we’re ready to discuss it.

Because of last time the new hair styles / colors came out, me and some guildies decided to make a Mini-Army. We started with 5. Today we have close to 30 people that look the same xD

Oh my god this is beautiful!

Haha. Yeah it’s really fun. Most of us are Heavy classes with T3 Armor and Volcanus GS, but quite a few of us have a medium/light classes as well. We have a guide set up online that everyone follows to the point when creating a character and we’re all named “Mini [whatever-you’re-known-by]”.

It’s a fun group thing we’re doing with the guild.

Do want dyeable hair now. xD

(Can you imagine the choices, if hair color could be dyed with all of your armor dyes?)

Now I’ve gone off the deepend.

Soulmyr.8094:

I see no need for it. Even the blue ones look downright terrible and cringe-worthy.

That’s your personal opinion based on the look of your character. Some people like the blue ones because it fits their characters. Don’t base “the need for it” on your personal look.

Chris Whiteside.6102:

Romo.3709:

Chris, why has your post been edited so instead of you not engaging at the current time was changed to not engaging at all, ever. Are you stating it’s over?

I am.

Chris

Yup. So I’m done with ever trying anything on these forums again. Been a great ride you guys.

Chris, why has your post been edited so instead of you not engaging at the current time was changed to not engaging at all, ever. Are you stating it’s over?

Nevets Crimsonwing.5271:

By the way, I totally misread Chris’s post. Did he edit it? I thought he was saying he needed more time to think. Really he just said what Izzy said three months ago stands.

Edit: Yep, Chris edited his post 21 minutes after the original. Not sure if he added anything or I just read it wrong the first time.

Yeah, the first time I read it was specifically sating that he will not be engaging in discussion about it at this time. It was edited so he will not engage at all. Thanks Chris. For nothing.

Killface.1896:

If they gonna reset it and all are lvl 1 I will not have no proplem with that as long they give some unique title for unlocking 50befor reset and maybe a lvl 50 fract chest(all get chest based on fract lvl).

Just be fun starting over again if you ask me but title and some rewards for getting lvl50 so some people dont think there time was a wast should do it

You might not have a problem. I will. And many other people will as well. I did not get my character to 50 again just to get it reset because someone wants to start again.

Makes me wonder why they even edit this thread. It’s not like they’re getting anything out of it…

You’re finally being a little constructive with answers Chris. I’m happy to see that at least, even though the thread is closing Thursday as you mentioned. Those are kind of responses this thread needed since the very beginning. Like this idea might work because x, or this will not work because of y and z. Giving us ideas on what can and cannot be done, keeping our proposals constructive and on point.

Regardless, had a word with Izzy yet?

Herr der Friedhoefe.2490:

Life could be worse. You could play a Norn light armor profession, and then all of your cultural armor is Shaman (fugly!!!!) style.

That is your personal opinion.

yksdoris.2194:

Nike.2631:

Honestly, I don’t want more revealing. I want more shapely. I don’t need to flash any skin, so much as present a nice silhouette – something the game’s trench-coat fetish pretty much destroys. In fact my favorite Photoshop tinkering with armor appearance shows far less skin than the base it was built from~

this! Also for men: what is it with the trench coats and pirate hats? I’d love to see a fighter-pilot look for an Engineer or something like a Frontier Trapper, with lush fur trimmings for a Ranger

I want to see more revealing armor, because every “revealing armor” has a trench coat thing behind it. Players been complaining about trench coats for months. It’s not “our” fetish, it’s the dev’s. If you want less revealing I’d go heavy armor instead. Barely any revealing ones, except for like 3? Out of 40-50 of them.

Plus I just went through all medium armors:
http://argos-soft.net/GW2/ArmorGallery/index.php?lang=en&color=10&sex=1&race=2&w=2
All I see out of all of these is 2, maybe 3 that would be even close to being named “revealing” out of 40+ armors available. What are we even talking about here? 90% of them are completely covered.

DarcShriek.5829:

The moment Anet tries to make an outfit even moderately sexy the forums rage about it for a week.

Which is just plain sad. Especially when we look at all other games.

sorudo.9054:

dunno about you but yah got to be quite pathetic to find even one armor in this game sexy, even the noble town clothing has at least 1 sexy armor and players can’t even wear it. (despite the outcry of so many threats.)

Hahaha. Not to mention all the people calling them too sexy.

sorudo.9054:

Romo.3709:

sorudo.9054:

so there are sexy armors?

Definition of too sexy to one person might be a bikini when to another showing a shoulder is too sexy.

….that’s not the question, i ask if there are sexy armor in this game.
this: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Light_armor_03_concept_art.jpg
is not what i call sexy, that simply skimpy.
this however: http://images.doctissimo.fr/soft/1/sexy/mage-guerriere-armure/photo/hd/7947862794/190255611df/mage-guerriere-armure-innistrad_speculation_liliana_of_the_veil_card_version_by_steveargyle-big.jpg
is what i can call sexy, even seductive in a way.

Each and every one of us has a different definition of what “sexy” is. It’s the same as a difference in opinion about word “beautiful”. It’s impossible to please everyone with a set standard.
