Guild Wars 2

It has been cleared that there is only Tips – send if want, keep it if you need it.
I wonder if it could be a problem when there are serious tradeoffs with stuff “I photoshop your character 25g, 50g if color, 100g if background too…” – Mine is nothing like that.
You request, you get your setup. If you like it and have coins, you CAN (&not must) leave some tips in my mug.

Sent that mail tho.
Thanks

Hmmmm maybe. maaaaaybe.
I didn’t brokered/asked for free materials.
Only thing I’ve said that I could fulfill more requests if I had a free character slot.
I meant Free as not used, not given freely.

Hope its enough to ask here, since they read the forums so often, yes?,,

Dear Mods. Amongst some of my design topics, there is one called “Stylist Service”.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/Stylist-Service-Order-your-Look
It has been locked down without any moderator message left. Can any of you please look after what could be the issue?
Thanks.

- Royal.

@ ammayhem.5962: Waiting!
@ Hattoni.8597: Replied
@ Lehtomaki.8705: I have no charr, nor character slot left
You may should check skins including leather & metal, as far as I remember the cultural setts are really good at charrs.

@ Hattoni.8597: Thank you for the interesting challange!
I came up with this, hope you like it. (Play with dyes well)

1. Helm: None or Wreath of Cooperation
2. Carapace Pauldrons
3. Gladiator Chestplate
4. Draconic Gauntlets / Heavy Havenly
5. Zodiac Heavy Legplates
6. Phalanx Warboots / Draconic
7. Back: Light of Dwayna
8. Weapon prefered: Mistforged Hero sett
9. Dyes used: Celestial, Fog, Gold.

@ Flitzie.6082: kitten … you made me feel like I really need a Human Warrior… so sad I have Norn… arrrrgh I need race-changerrrrrr x)

1. Barbaric Helm / Phalanx
2. Splint Pauldrons
3. Phalanx Warplate
4. Protector’s Gauntlets / AC
5. Phalanx Legplates
6. Heritage Warboots / Phalanx
7. Back: Any of your like, I would prefer some backpack/flag
8. Dyes: Steel, Gunmetal & Charred

All these clipping things can be solved with designed standards…
A cape layer can be thin enough to keep your backpacks & weapons close to your armor.
The question is, how to animate it well…

The function? Style. Show-off.
Real function? It’s an additional thermal/humindity defense ofc.

One thing is sure; If it’s going to the place of current Back Slot, AN just going to shoot himself on the leg…

Otokomae.9356:

Yeah, if you add capes to the game, PLEASE just make them drop into the regular backpiece slot, not some new “cape” stat slot. We really don’t need a whole new piece of Ascended gear added to the game.

Absolutely No.
It needs a New slot, so can be used with backpacks.
Doesn’t has to have stats… that’s right!

Gaile Gray.6029:

…
I imagine there would be challenges in incorporating capes, and naturally a cape would cover some of the armor pieces, which is a drawback when you’ve worked hard to get the whole “look” going on. As mentioned, it was brought up in the CDI, so that’s good.

Paradox — I’m curious. Why do you say “no capes?”

Because there are no capes. Grenth’s Hood has a miniature cape like fabric, but that’s more like the annoying piece of your precious armor covering sadness, than a cool cape that a lot of people would use by will, with happiness.

Don’t you think it is OUR call to wear a cape or not?
Gaile, we both work in the same buisness. I think the players, aka Customers needs their hunger feed properly => Give what they want, lore-friendly (AN broke this line by far anyway…), don’t enforce fashion-trends that makes people look like clones.

The another explanation of why there are no cakes was “Clipping, charr tails, etc..”
Seriously… it is not a problem. If it is on GW2’s engine, then it misses some essentials.

It’s time to let fabrics behave like fabrics anyway, it may solves some animation-clipping right now but most of us end up having way too big butts or just bad character shapes.

P.s.: Any news on graphics update comming?

Look at my sad sad pumkineer! =’(

The reason I’ve skipped your request before was that I have no silvary & my asura isn’t female → And I don’t have free character slot to make any.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Basically, having a bunch of NPCs with jack-o-lanterns and candy corns over their heads in April or July might be a little odd.

Make an NPC with;

• Special festival icon that includes pumpkin, dragon, snowflake & stuff
• Has a nice and truly magical little shop exhabition.
• Stands somewhere special.

I have newly missing items also…
… happened this ago with Hero weapons too.

- Just leaving my notes here -

I hate Summer.
I hate Sun’s shine.
But I LOVE Winter! Snow & Storms!
Both Halloween & Winterdays are my only favourite events of all year
- waiting for them as soon as they end.

What I want to highlight here is,…. there was no Magic!! It was a Redux of last year’s, the only things changed was the new tinfoil lotto (propably makes rich even richer), and the current “destroyed” LA was mutch better scene for all these wonderful decorations.
It was all cool but… y’know… It wasn’t special. It felt mutch more like a candy-taste farmfest than a real event where people meant to have real fun.

Things that MUST happen on 2015’s Halloween Event:

• STORMY Weather both in LA & Labyrinth.
• More scary stuff & more decorations, including candy-by-chance when crawling a pumpkin.
• Special Receipes that includes Crafting Materials, such as Pumpkin, Orichalcum, Silver, Garlic & stuff. Special Drinks that makes… your…. head a pumpkin? Groves you a devil tail?
• Event Quests. Missing Candies? Missing Kids? Misterious sounds? Haaahahahahahaaa!!
• Yearly progressable Backpack skin-evolution.
• NEW Skins overall. Halloween themed. (Armors. No Outfits. No!!)
• A really wide scale of useable stuff in exchange for candy gobs.
• Total rework of Lunatic Inquisition. Its boring and unrewarding as Hell. Not in the good meaning…
• Unlock Capters as before…

Whatever will be planned for 2015’s Halloween Event, keep in mind that it has to be truly
MAGICAL

P.s.: I WANT MY PUMPKINS BACK!! =’( What about an opportunity to keep Event Decorations longer??

No new requests? :O

Never got any nice skin worth above 10g.
Excluding Zojja’s Weapon Box dropped at Tequatl.
Was a huge surprise after 8+ years of ArenaNet’s …….. RNG

+1 from here, and I’m very sure my GW friends (approx 200 ppl) would leave a supportative comment if they weren’t so lazy.

Yappp these chests are boring. Really boring. Not really profitable also…

… If Outfits would unlock skins of eatch armor piece… omnomnomnom :o
Hey Gaile Gray, get your Fuzzy Frog Hat naow!

Fat Jolly Friar? You mean, the priest ghost from Harry Potter?

What about a minipet of LA’s costume Asura kid
“Cannibal”

@ andyhens.4172: I’ve checked your mix, the following backpieces can look good & maching your request IMO.:

• Catcher backs
• Practical Tailor’s Backpack
• Sturdy Tailor’s Backpack
• Chaos of Lyssa
• Shadow of Grenth
• Light of Dwayna
• Fires of Balthazar
• Elegant Jeweler’s Backpack
• Desert Rose / Fervid Censer
  I would use a catcher or a wing.

@ Cuddy.6247: I think Caithe uses a basic texture without tintmask (dye-able areas), pre-colored. You can’t exactly reproduce her, but Emerald & Midnight Yew/Green/Teal should be the colors you’re looking for.

VIP Kits: They’re VIP for a reason; to be really unique. My VIP costumers doesn’t want to leave a receipe how to copy their look. But hey, why would YOU look like someone else?

Gaile Gray.6029:

Melvin.3295:

I see your point about bach. I just hope new people who pick up an instrument from the gemstore don’t just think it is alright to macro any song since I’m sure it is the same thing as using a bot.

Honestly, I’m not sure, but I’m going to ask Customer Support about it. The fact is, we have a policy against automating gameplay through the use of macros or bots. But music? I just don’t know if the rules about third-party programs extend to non-game-related situations.

Honestly, when these instruments were designed, it wasn’t really in focus that most of players are not skillful enough to squeez enjoyable tunes out of it.
Discussed Many times, but yet, for You;

1. Pre-Tabs option would really make the instruments useable for anyone.
2. Macros are not allowed. This one does not harm, but its more like a technical/moral question. So great that offical GW2 keyboards were advertised with “excellent macro management”
3. GW2 could have macro-maker within itself if it forces to equip an instrument – so can’t use to exploit.
4. and finally… Instruments are way more expensive than they should be IMO.

So many COSTUMER requested realistic armor&weapon setts…
Maybe 2015 will bring more of our taste?

John Smith.4610:

…

I’ve didn’t seen this one in the whole topic, so… hear me;
Special loots (epic skins, useable special stuff like potions, nurnishments, etc) are essential, we all know this. But the big question is; How many times I need to kill something to get what I want? I’m in terrible luck with the GW game drops since GW1 Prophecies… always junk and crap, but when finally something nice drops… ascended… guess what? I just don’t have a use for it.

So far in my career I’ve tried to solve this problem with 2 unique way;

1. Each Boss have a reward-track, so within 10 or so kill you WILL get the drop you want – at least once.
2. Bosses should also drop “Special Crafting Components”, which let us combine them to forge the item we want – this is kind of a micro crafting-collectible methood.

I really hope some change will come within this RNG, so far by ~8+ years it was terribly disappointing.

Good Luck John!

Branden Gee.2150:

Updating the list and necroing the thread all in one go! (Please note this does not mean that any of these things will happen)
…
Please let me know if there is anything else I’m missing.

Looks good to go. You know how important element the view-customization is.
Different playstyles/roles need different settings.
Personally, I’m keeping my camera total close to my Ranger with a horisontally slided setting, so its kind of ~centered just above the shoulder. This makes Longbow combat feel more focused.

P.s.: If there will be an FPS view, keep in mind that standard mouse-wheel zoom will need a “dual stage” setting that stops the zoom at minimal TPS (stage 1) – then next zooming forvard applies the FPS view.

@ ima kongkittenninja.3052: If you want to wield both, then it will be hell of a mess, they’re very different. + you want a Raven-ish thief look.
If you wish to, I can make the proper mix, yet it won’t fit well for the Dreamer.

@ Bazlemon.1372: I don’t have female Asura. Sadly I’m not likely able to browse race+gender combinations that I don’t have, aaaand I don’t even have a free character slot to make a dummy for it. With some crowd founding, maybe…

@ ima kongkittenninja.3052: Buccaneer? With Dreamer? Seriously?? Well it’s your call…
But to help you out, the answer is – as always -; “Whatever you like!”
If you aim to make a bit of fancy, bit of elegant one, you may use Duelist or Scout “coat”. Noble also a good catch if mixed with a nice headgear, shoulders and boots.

@ MrWubzy.3587: Don’t go for low-cost just by hurry. The progress of polishing your character is supposed to be one if not The main goal of the game.
However, I’ll help you out

1. Anonimity Mask (Starter kit)
2. Marauder Shoulder (Story line unlock)
3. Seeker Coat
4. Emblazoned Gloves
5. Accursed Leggings (Arah token)
6. Swindler Boots
7. Dyes for Raven-thief: Black, grey, midnight fire.
   This is an ultra-low cost stuff, maybe under 1g total spend without the dyes.

@ Cuddy.6247: There are NPCs that use mixed armor weights (both light&medium, for example… which we players cannot do when customization is the endgame WTFFfffffff?!), or just using a special “hidden” skin which Mergath Flarekin wields.
Can you show me a pic about it’s boots please?

Serious suggestions?
We want stuff to force ourselves playing the game because of our look – not because every-day content thats not really exists.

Here is a “Serious” one:
Gem Purchase track: The more real money you spend, the more nice rewards you get. Example of total money spent rewards:

1. $10 – 1BL Key
2. $25 – 3Bl Key
3. $50 – 5BL key + Mini pack of choice + “Black Lion Partner” title.
4. $100 – Ascended weapon box OR a free weapon skin unlock of any BL kit.
5. $150 – Ascended armor box OR a free armor skinpack. + “Black Lion Merchant” title.
6. $200 – AN Supporter Superpack (lots of choseable goods)
7. $350 – “Black Lion Trader” title.
8. $500 – “Black Lion Broker” title
9. $1000 – AN Supporter Gigapack (Also unlocks stuff you wouldn’t bother to get anyway, like Glorious armor skins) + “Black Lion Millionaire” title

Something like this. With these kind of heavy rewards, people will less likely to buy legendaries from third-party sites I guess.

+1 here. I hate outfits!

1. Not customizeable
2. No toggle key
3. Dyes slots limits your look even
4. They ruin your “you’ll see what class it is by look” – which is ~okay, but then you (AN) don’t bother to allow us transmute any skin of different weight…

Thank you Thanatos!

HUBs serve to spread people at optimal places & to fill the empty map places.
You would have faster map load, more FPS & multiple places of tastes.
Looks like everything designed like people were outside, exploring…
Guess what? People AFK & Chat, just like they did in GW1.

1. Megaservers introduced to reduce empty exploring
2. LA has 3 HUBs now. The rest needs it too.

I strongly believe AN really wants to bring their world ALIVE, but no clue why they hold these upgrades/fixes back for so long… :S

(Don’t wonder that people do not actual play when there is no mutch content tho…)

You’re welcome!

@ Helos.3215: Sorry, I have no charr char. Cultural armors?
@ Donari.5237: Same.
What I can use is this gallery

Acolyte & similars would bring classy look, whatever does which has decals and little metal parts. I can’t take part on making a charr sexy…. you furries

@ TheFirelinist.7605:
1) The most elegant & not-mutch-fantasy one is the Heritage Light set. Use that with Reading Glasses & maybe Apprentice Pants or whatever you like.
2) “Something elegant and sleek.”: Bit of Steampunk, but definitely ladiesman & stylish :P

1. Ringmaster’kitten
2. No shoulder or Heritage Mantle / Exalted / Country / Apprentice
3. Aetherblade Light Vest
4. Embriodered Wristguards
5. Aristocrat’s Pants
6. Feathered Boots
7. Practical Jeweller’s Backpack?
8. Dyes: Black, White, copper/silver, maybe gold metals.

Ps.: They’re very far from my style, and in my opinion, a Thief looks really lightweight & shadey.

@ lerak.5286: “Wind Master” – Interesting concept
I’ve aimed for a really lightweight look that feels like hussssh ^^

1. Zephyrite Wind Helm
2. Illustrous Shoulderguard
3. Strider’s Tunic | Radiant will look awesome on you one day!
4. Falconer’s / Heritage / Zodiac Gloves
5. Falconer’s Leggings
6. Leather / Illustrous / Heritage / Falconer / Strider’s / Zodiac Boots
7. Back: Wind Catcher
8. Dyes: Colors of weapon; Icing Dye, Blue Ice Dye + violet/purple of fitting.
9. Tempest Longbow

A relatively small team would be able to fix every map one by one…
Isn’t it worth to care for?

/15littlecentaurrunningtowardsyou

The prestige skins would work at only ONE way;
=> Get the basic skin not That hard, then use Craft to upgrade it more brutal look.

Otherwise you can farm kitten a legendary that no smart man respects.

I would buy it if the Crafting levels were account-bound, aka my Ranger who has Jeweller 400, Leatherworking & Huntsman @ 500 can gain my Warrior’s Armor & Weaponcrafting lvl500.

Otherwise “lol no thanks…”

A new halloween will look even more serious in this destroyed LA
Sooooo exciteeed

We really miss other weekend-festivales tho.

Thanks! Tyria definetly needs some life after all these “living world” deathpools.

Going out of DR, there should be some REAL villages, like Claypool Town, just bigger & few organised little street.

I really hope some dev actualy able to spend time with it… Do you hear me Gaile Gray?

Hi! I’ve just wanted to suggest some “QoL” kind of changes to DR & whole Tyria.
Speaking Ingame, players do support the idea greatly, but I’m really curious about Your opinion.

TL;DR: This is about to adjust & optimalise cities & maps for player’s comfort and a more beliveable world overall. Multiple community hubs, real roads with real forts along… Please take your time and read it.

Divinity’s Reach: Since the ~95% of this beautiful city… an ART is unused & empty, I suggest multiple HUBs here as well as did for LA. This place has really nice districts, so there is no reason to ignore them. What changes am I speaking about?

• Real Shops with common use items. (materials, ingredients, items..)
• At least one REAL BLTC House (optimal distance to crafting area)
• A GemStore Showroom to see things in action (minipets, finishers, armors, etc, even if the improved GUI is already here.)
• COMMUNITY CORES: Inns, famous Taverns, gardens, etc.
  These places woul make quality time spent in better places, better lore, better distances, not-so-secret vendors with multiple goods (not just cloned 100 times), with better FPS values.

Queensdale, Kessex Hills, Gendarran Fields & Fields of Ruin: Better designed trading roads would guide us through a really wonderfull journey, with outstanding map visuals. By optimal distances, some Real fort… and I mean REAL fort as check/safepoint would serve us with the essential traders (Merchant, Repair), the biggest ones even offering BLTC & Crafting, and maybe even a nice Tavern/Inn to meet people who has something to do closeby & organise in style. Let me say, I do get the point why are things as they are, but I highly disagree that it is actualy a good way. It feels like interesting places were randomly placed to fill empty places. Nah, it’s no good. Once you go off the track, you should cross more dangerous fues, not a random guy with hearth to fill.

Your Ideas?

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

Just a question here because I am curious. The idea of the Living World is that there is a storyline that you take part in, that you are involved in events that shape Tyria in permanent ways—how would you all convey the sense of progression and change without also making changes to the landscape? I see a couple of comments regarding creating things, not simply destroying. Do you all have any other ideas?

It is quite simple, Regina.
Not destroying; Changes made by political/culture meanings. You’ll may notice a different House’s banner around the city, or the cave where you used to smuggle shiney goods to the Skritt fellas now smells of ogre? Oh sorry, forgot that there are is no real lore visible, just written.

Destroying: If there is something happening, and a fort turns out to be weak, it is your adventure to save it “in the last minute clishe” and REINFORCE it.
Let’s see Kessex Hills. Okay, things are destroyed. Brilliant job. Then the Krait tower has been blew’d up. Nice one. Now it’s standing in ruins. Okay… But where is the next step??
I’ll tell you, the next/“final” step is to rebuild what has been destroyed, to an even better state as was before. It is how exactly places & cities reborn.
They get destroyed & built up shortly using the best available technology.
So we ask You and the team… Where is this “step”? When is this “step”?

Dry Top & the Lost Zephyrites;
The next should be help these zephyrites to rebuild their flying…stuff from what’s left and escort them safety by using the pact’s airships.
Some of them may won’t fly again, sicne they lost faith or just in fear… so they’ll repopulate Dry Top & do something worthy later, maybe with connection to the other flying zephyrites.
Don’t forget that we’re waiting for a really cruel Crystal Desert too, where you have to survive through those sandstorms & heat.

Gaile Gray.6029:

I’m enormously fond of Lion’s Arch, and I dream of the day when it’s back to its former glory. I guess if you look at this in realistic terms, suffish and Stramatus are right: Itf it’s going to happen, the process would take time. After all, Rome wasn’t (re)built in a day.

We as well. It’s a great opportunity to form something better than was before.
Even by designs, even by technical meaning.
Halloween & Wintersdays are comming, so the progress has to be started if it’s not a day’s happening. I’m excited

P.s.: Oh, and apart from LA, someone may should check DR as well. It has one center hub, and the rest 95% of the city is empty. Those really nice districts should be the hubs, offering better FPS & Environment to the players… I mean, Tyrians.

Just wanted to leave a note; I do support the idea of a survey.
Tho it’s not really simmple, this forum turns out mutch better when speaking about opinions, but some simple poll would be nice feedback. Like;

Do you like the world being partly destroyed in name of Living World?
a) Absolutely, go ahead!
b) Partially, but rebuilding the lost seems like never going to happen…
c) You’re destroying an already liveless world even more to bring it alive. Not a good idea…

Hmmm…
“I can outrun a centau…. ranger arrows!”
“Rangers are masters of pet syngery… so they’re dead as well.”

Another VIP request revealed.

Sadly I’ve missed the Pirate Outfit discount. Nvm, It may come back… around Halloween?
But anyway, I’m quite sad that there are no “National Pirate Day” kind of stuffs.

Could we get some Intel about Monetization Manager’s plans about where GemStore going, please?

And +1 @ Capes …. +2Years!

@ flasbang.5102: You wasn’t really clear about what you want, but I’ve came up with a fire-dragon corrupted look, mostly ragged-alike, started from old-school designs.

1. Horns of the Dragon
2. Flame Legion Epaulets
3. Forgeman Raiment
4. Hellfire Vambraces
5. Illustrous Breeches
6. Path of Koda
7. Back: Fires of Balthazar
8. Staff: Bloody Prince Staff
9. Dyes: Midnight Fire, Abyss, Midnight Gold.

@ nichol.3810: I have no sylvari character, so you may should wait for a topic reader to help you out, or check all the plant-armors and try mixing them to a shape you like, then use the right dyes that matches Mawdrey. Good Luck

Guess we really need some interrutps and slowdowns.
This was a main role of us in GW1 tho :o

Imagine the opportunities… Like this guy who would make a nice reaper being Ranger or Warrior. ^^

Wanze.8410:

This is a great idea. I just set up a proxy in Kiribati, whose GDP is one hundred thousand times smaller than the GDP of the US.
So i just need to farm enough gold in game to convert it into 1 gem and can buy items worth 100k gems.

You could verify your place somehow. Like you need a history of a year logged from a country or something, so you can’t just swap & cash up.
Yep, proxy stuff harmed Steam and other stuff, but I’m sure there is a way to prevent exploiting the system.

I just wish gem prices being calculated to the GDP of the player’s country, based on where is that account used. I would focus on spending real cash if the prices were more friendly.
