Guild Wars 2

Kristen Schaal would be a good female Asura voice.

Im guessing cause it was the origional activity, and rewards were added later, and they never added it to Keg Brawl.

Im playing just as I was. Cause you know, I play this game to have fun. Silly farmers. Yeah, getting better stuff is awesome, but if you are making a GAME into WORK, why play?

Necromancer is a survivor. Minions to take the heat, syphon to regain health, death shroud….death shroud. Fear can give you the space to breathe too.

Fun fact: Realistically, not every mystery is solved.

My real life mentality is people generally deserve a second chance, so most of my characters think that way. I without regret let him live.

Id be in favor of this actually…cause then you can play both, just guest on the other. Long as its not WvW (and PvP Im guessing) you can do it on a different server. This way, everyone is happy, since if you wanted fractal A, but your server gets fractal B, you can guest/switch, instead of feeling like you got the short stick.

I used to think it was dumb slang, until I lightly swore once.

Lion Chests give out good stuff. Waypoints are not expensive, even at level 80. Youd be far more likely to save money with the keys than the waypoints.

Lion’s Arch is the hub of the game, so thats why its getting all the attention. All portals lead to Lion’s Arch.

Kiel seems like someone who would be unhappy to win anyways. Shes not a paper pusher, shes a fighter. That alone helps sway me to choose Evon.

I dont mind RNG, long as its reasonable. Southsun was not reasonable, but Dragon Bash, I managed a Jade ticket, and a mini. What would be nice if it was a good enough chance that anyone who actually bothers to atleast is likely to get one or two weapons.

And hows your luck been for the catcher skins?

I got more than enough scraps for them. Seems a good method. A rare chance for a one shot at it, but open enough, you can get it anyways. Might be a good standard.

If there was a special min achievement, it would have to be one for any special, and not for a whole set. So Every new mini could help you, but youd have to not need old ones to complete it, or do it like Entropy where its endless.

Well, how the dealt with it was rude, but honestly, Id never expect to be in a party of mainly one guild and yet get chosen over a fellow guildmate.

Wasn’t kicked before the run started. This was fractals 3 right before Jade maw.
You don’t expect for people to have decent morals?

So you got kicked mid-run? Ok, thats jerky. If it was before starting one though, and prefferably they told you though, Id have to say ok for them, but during is not nice.

Well, how the dealt with it was rude, but honestly, Id never expect to be in a party of mainly one guild and yet get chosen over a fellow guildmate.

Progeny: “Your face looks funny. All smooshed and weird.”
Charr: “No, your face is funny — just like a little raisin.”

Stole mine
I always prefer to imagine it in my head as opposed to the motionless in game characters. The charr putting his fingers together as he says little raisin.

I solo…cause Im akwardly shy and have trouble making friends. Id be lying if I said id prefer to group up more.

The problem is it should be either the timer OR the griffons. The bomb, which doesnt even make sense to be lit until it needs to go off, is too easily blown up by the ton of griffons, plus the periods of imobility when falling. I got mad and finished it without the bomb. I got the kite and achievement, but I also got an anger headache and lighter pockets than I hoped.

The threat of enemy players wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt for the temporary time limit, and the server bias. Its not so bad if you are on the dominant server, but what about when either the JP is always 99% one enemy server, or the possibility of not even being able to enter. I managed to grab the kite when my server owned all 3 garrisons, thus ensuring my safety. But if we could hold those for the rest of the time (ive seen it happen) then peopel are out of luck.

I hate BAD JPs. I love good ones. Mostly, I hate when the JPs arent JPs. That is, puzzles about jumping. I like trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B through unconventional paths. Not being attacked by griffons or elementals while trying to not fall to my death that would make me have to trek a mile back to restart it.

And im not disagreeing with you. What im saying is again….. They could have worked in ways for pvp and wvw players to get involved and interested in whats happening in the game livening things up a bit and I would like to here your idea’s for ways they could make the game more inclusive for there entire player base instead of just the few.
btw I play it all fractal, wvw, pvp, pve it just seems odd to me that these two week updates do very little for there pvp/ wvw player base in regards to livining things up.

People need to understand, not every update is for everyone. Just as people who complained about PvP rewards in achievement chests were narrow thinking, so is this. LS is for PvE. Simple as that.

Well, what do you define as personal story? Dragon Bash worked like a personal story.
Essentially, more personal story would require a legitimate expansion, not temporary bi-weekly content that leaves little lasting effect.

Well, despite touting democracy, the US is a republic, so we vote for people to vote for us, as opposed to popular vote, which is what a real democracy uses. So Im ok with it not being an “American democracy” aka a republic.

I dont mind RNG, long as its reasonable. Southsun was not reasonable, but Dragon Bash, I managed a Jade ticket, and a mini. What would be nice if it was a good enough chance that anyone who actually bothers to atleast is likely to get one or two weapons.

I play TF2. The fact I can get a key from a random enemy, or from map completion, and the guarenteed key from story…is enough to make me ok with them. Plus the rewards are pretty cool.I already got a hair kit, which I want to use, but afraid to squander. Also some minis, and other stuff…without HAVING to buy something. Thats nice.

Not voting is a vote in itself.

I play PvE, WvW, and if I wasnt intimidated by people, Id do fractals. If I didnt do fractals or PvE, then this whole thing would be irrelevant to me. Being a PvP or WvWer and complaining your “vote doesnt matter since it doesnt help you” is like someone from Georgia complaining about getting nothing out of an election in New York. Want it to matter? Then move there.

If you have white but not celestial, I say use it, but I collect dyes. I got a celestial, and sold it (prematurely it seems) and bought white since I liked the white better. Same for Abyss and black. Abyss was too void black, instead of a realistic cloth black.

So, responding on forums = caring?

Wouldn’t the fact that they don’t respond actually suggest that they are busy working with it instead of spending loads of time responding on the forums?

Personally, I find communication between players and developers very re-assuring. Too many devs of other games blatantly ignore blatant problems and never even acknowledge them. Just admitting there is a problem shows they atleast pay attention.

I prefer EB. Its where the main stuff SHOULD be. I also grew tired of BL when before the match ups and stuff, literally all of EB was constantly owned by the green server and we were always on the defensive. EB is just more interesting, compaired to the 3 copies of BL. But it all depends on whats going on.

Long as its reasonable weapons. Greatswords dont work for necros, and stakitten dont work for non magic characters. Engineers need more weapons, preferably something….good. Rifle sucks, and pistols keep getting me into more fights than I intend, and shield….is shield. I get they have the weapon kits instead, but Id prefer actual weapons to use too.

Race wars….bleh. The point of Flame Legion is that they want to be the jerky wartorn race of Charr, while the reasonable and smart Charr of Iron, Blood, and Ash would prefer to not fight others solely based on race. I like that GW2 has lots of good groups of mainly hostile races, like Skritt, Grawl, etc.

I just got GW1 (trilogy). Was alot more populated than what people made it seem, but I was expecting to not ever see anyone basically.
Though the way “explorable” zones are, it probably makes the game feel lonlier, since you apparently wont pass by any helpful traveling players like in GW2. I only just started though, so this is all first impressions.

It just occured to me from these posts there arent any cloaks, are ther? They should make some accessible cloak/cape back items.

I use the flower currently. Id use the shatter wings, but I have no disposable back item to put it on. The Karka back sucks though…since I dont have a coral reef Venom character that looks well with it.

One big problem with the ranger for me, is the pet. I understand necro having mindless thralls, but Id like my pet on my ranger character to not feel like such a hinderance.
Also sword sucks. I end up fighting 10 guys cause I keep flopping around the map.

Its simple to solve really. Treat the player like they ARE the main character,since they are. When I play my story, in my eyes my character is the hero, and every other player are just other adventurers. Just as im sure most other players do. It hurts immersion more to try to canonize every player in every other player’s eyes. Elder Scrolls and Fallout give a nickname to the player, so in future things they use that, so if they make GW3, youd hear about “The hero who stopped Zhaitan” and youd know it was you, and each other player would know it was them, etc.

Also I like Kiel. Obviously she steals the spotlight, but atleast she doesnt make you feel bad about it.

Instead of trying to decrease zergs, we really need to just make sure everyone can compete against one. Guess what? Real medival battles were two large armies running into eachother.

Yeah, we need better balancing, in many areas, but why is the main suggestion always tearing down, instead of building up?

The zerg will always be the main force in WvW, we just need to work around that, instead of trying to choke the life out of it and hope it all works out.

Dont expect to be the hero in WvW if you arent level 80, but there is always a use for you.

I prefer to find my stuff. If you were going to pay for gear, wait till 80 when it will be longer lasting.

You can join up to 5 guild, might as well make use of it. There is no strings attached really, so theres no risk in joining a guild.

Depends. Im finding myself overstocked in alot of stuff. If you pace yourself, you can level your crafting alongside your levels without buying anything/much.

Dungeons are party based, but you dont have to be in one…but you probably wont have fun alone.

Nothing I can think of. Following the story might be fine, though I eventually got distracted, and now my main character who is 80 is still at the story for around level 65 characters.

“Less MMO-like enemies” posted in a MMORPG forum? I’m sure I’m not the only one finding this a bit weird.. :P

I think that every MMO needs some time to get used to, and that includes the mobs.. I’m sure that in a pure stat-showing MMO some stats are better than others (while they sum up to the same amount), so also there you’ll learn by experience when to and when not to get into a fight with that mob#24564645.

And not sure what you mean about all those mobs auto-attacking? Even the sillies moa bird refrains from using his auto-attack (will try to daze first, for instance)..

Or am I completely talking next to the subject?

To be fair, GW2 is not as MMOy as most, and that is what I like about it. I recently decided to buy GW1, and was quicky struck by how more standard MMO it was in comparision.

Essentially, what they want is a less “meta” game, where you look at everything in terms of obvious video game thinking, instead of scary ice monster is obviously more dangerous than a basic boar. But a boar in higher level areas game wise, is more dangerous than some of the scarier looking guys in lower level regions, simply because of the leveled areas, since its a game.

Uh…gems. Why go through such hassel for extra characters? Im at 9 characters by using game gold. Im HOPING the cost of the game would give you far more than 4 character slots so gems should be far more worth it.

You clicked what you want from each thing right? When you transmute, you pick two items, then you manually select what of which you want to keep. Which appearance, which stats, and which upgrade. The ok button wont work if you havent chosen all 3.

I like achievements. They are goals for me. People who criticize achievement collectors usually misunderstand. Sure some its just a number. But to me its a tangeble “I did that” list. I love the thing that shows your almost done achievements now, since it gives me a shorter term goal to do. I dont get mad at having to earn them, though I hate feeling timed to get them, since I play on and off alot, but I do try to earn them. Hell, I got every single Southsun Achievement without having anyone let me win Crabtoss.

Would you prefer having limited spells per day like in DnD? GW2 is supposed to be on the fast paced side. Casters are squishy enough, dont have time to sit still and cast a spell so we can get smacked full of swords.

So…you mean they should give you skins, not actual armor? Like the shatter wings, or the achievement weapons. Id be cool with this, Im just clarifying.

A race change would be such a hassle, it really makes no sense to do it. The begining of they story, and some skills are tied to race, so to change it would just be messy.

This is more of a trust issue than anything Anet can help you with. Sorry though.

I dont think “death spies” are really an issue. People are just paranoid. There are far more pressing issues than saying “enemy over here”.

GW2 doesnt require grinding. ALL grinding in this game is optional. If you want a legendary, you might need to grind, but you dont need a legendary. If you want ascended gear, you might need to grind, but you dont need ascended gear. Grinding is only an issue if you need to grind to advance, which you dont.

That argument is becoming tiresome. And yeah OP I agree – it’s very annoying trying to do Jormag when like 90% of the people there are farming for lodestones with magic find gear and boosts on instead of actually fighting the dragon.

People complaining about things that arent wrong is also tiresome.

I have no opinion in the matter. All I said was that it’s annoying when people farm the mobs at Jormag rather than kill the boss.

Then why quote me? Id be annoyed too if people would hold off an event just to farm.

I accidentally quoted the wrong thing. I meant to quote the post where the OP addressed the same thing.

Oh. Ok.

Not everything is designed to make YOU happy. Get over the PvP items already. Maybe play PvP and use them? This is an MMO. There are tons of other people playing. Some might like having them there.

You dont have to get it ya know. I want a legendary, sure. One. Anymore would be overkill, unless it somehow fell into my lap. If they added new ones, it doesnt mean you HAVE to get those too. Unless you are some sort of ultra completionist, which is a fool’s errand in GW2.
