Guild Wars 2

You know those new wings we’re supposed to be getting? the black angel ones? I was wondering if maybe we could see a Bat/Dragon/Leathery version of those in the future. I’m sure tons of people hate these wings ideas, but i for one love em. i’ve loved my holographic dragon wings and the tequatl ones, but i’d love to see some giant dragon wings on my character’s back.
Like, the same dimensions as those feathered wings, height and such.. but instead of being feathered, you would see the dimensions of the bones, wrapped in leathery fibrous tissue, with maybe even a little claw at the tips. I dunno, I just think that would be awesome. especially if they were a good realistic color.. like a reddish orange, or a grey combo of some kind.. but yeah, thats just my thought.

Day Trooper.3605:

BTW – does anyone know when the festival ends?

i would assume in about 2 and a half weeks. most events always last for 4 weeks, and this one is nearing the end of week 2.

Hey so, I just wondered something.. I just played a game of dragon ball, but got autobalanced because the other team just quit.. if i hit volunteer does it give me the win just like regular pvp? because I didnt see an achievement pop up saying i got a win

So after playing through Hidden Arcana with a friend, she brought to my attention stories called “Struwwelpeter” where children are often punished inexcessive and exaggerated ways for misbehaving. I wondered if thats where you got the idea for that one boy who was turned into a wooden doll just for not sharing?

Employee.2680:

I should have stayed in game, figured the connection issues would have been fixed. Would love to see some sort of compensation in game for these issues.

unlikely. for one, why should they give us anything when they claim its not their fault, its a connection issue that only affects comcast users(AT&T is part of comcast) and second, theres no way to actually prove you’re having the issue i think. images can be shopped after all.

you know if ANet really is about to release an expansion, this issue right here is the exact reason why i will NOT buy it. if they cant even fix this one issue, which honestly seems like a throttling issue.. then how can they possible hope to release anything worthy of paying for, when we cant even play it because of a 32 file patch.

this is one of those moments i REALLY wish they would just let us manually patch. almost 3 hours now and i havent been able to patch. Three Hours. I also like the fact that they backup everyone giving us a workaround, when we shouldnt have to do anything at all.

seriously would still like a response

naiasonod.9265:

I always liked the underwater stuff on my necro. Felt like the only place the class really did well.

Necromancer is an extremely versatile class and high in power. their only failing point is an inability to disengage from opponents. but you are right, underwater, Necro is at the top of the field. good control options, high dps, good condi… that just adds to my reasons to want more underwater, to bring every other class’ defects and flaws underwater to light, and to bring such an awesome playstyle to the front. 3-dimensional combat is the best.

laokoko.7403:

we need flying content. give us wings and let us combat in the air.

flying is similar to swimming anyway. Mechanic wise. So just copy underwater combat to aerial combat.

Please be joking.

instead of swimming motion, change to flying motion.

instead of water and coral around you change to cloud and rain drop.

should be perfectly easy to implement.

no. there would have to be flying mounts for that, or an extremely revolutionary invention allowing ZeroG. there’d be all sorts of issues about propulsion and drag, etc. plus would need all sorts of new moves and mechanics involved. would also utterly destroy wvw as it is now, as well as unbalance pve.

this topic remains what it is, a request for official information about Underwater Content from ANet.

Lishtenbird.2814:

A thread from 2 days ago: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/What-happened-to-underwater-content/

Lishtenbird.2814:

I do enjoy underwater content, but just as much as we have it: a bit.

It has issues with skill balance, z-axis movement, perception of depth and others which make underwater content enjoyable only to an extent.

I’m pretty sure that when we come to fighting Steve Bubbles (provided we do in GW2 and not in GW3), they’ll make improvements and focus on this type of content to make more people enjoy playing it

I’d also like to point out the fact that the forum’s search bar needs a massive rework, as i searched up the word “underwater” and that thread never showed up, or i would have just commented there.

Looking for an official response from Anet here. I remember hearing some things about a possible expansion, and more maps with underwater combat. would love to see a whole map submerged… especially given how the Wintersday reward track has an exotic breather as a prize at the very end… makes me wonder there might be some craftable aquabreathers soon.

Togo.7094:

i have uverse and this is the first time I can’t get the update. screen says 0kb/s. I see this has been happening for at least a week. so do we just keep opening and closing the window or is there a fix for this?

yes, and no, respectively.

whatever this issue is that comcast has with you guys, sort it out.

sure would like to be able to play the game i paid for..

also unable. stuck at “Errors detected”. AT&T in Ohio.

Gudy.3607:

Seeing as people have asked for the unidentified fossilized insects to be tradeable basically since the day Dry Top has opened and we still don’t have that, I would not hold my breath. It would be pretty nice, though.

Not my version of trading. I don’t want them tradeable between players, just at the merchant for a different box.

[…] pair of gloves has a high chance of dropping from the nightmare chest[…]

High chance my behind!

RNG will be RNG.

I bought my last pair of gloves with crests. Minutes later, a glove box dropped for me. I now have 3 glove boxes too many and nothing meaningful to do with them.

and thats pretty much my whole point right there. even if we didnt buy them, and got lucky, we’re still getting them as drops with nothing to use them for. a simple trading interface would be great, even if we have to wait until the final chapter for it. just give us something to look forward to!

And I support you all the way. Preach, brother/sister!

oh i know you do just hoping the other person sees what i typed too!

ozmaniandevil.6805:

Conaywea.5062:

yeah and if i get a precursor drop of a legendary that i already have i want to trade it for another one with a merchant.

Its just luck , you should be happy that you can get skins in loot

It’s not the same. A precursor can be sold to other players that, I don’t know, might WANT them and don’t have them. These can’t.

thats half of it. the other half is that the boxes have a preset value, and all the boxes have the same value. so why shouldnt we be able to trade them?

Conaywea.5062:

thats not even remotely on the same level.

I just hope I get my wish x.x

SakuraJD.4720:

maybe even a box for a box + a few crests.

Greedy much? Box for Box is more than fair.[/quote]

No no, I mean that we pay like 250 crests plus a box to get a box. not get crests in return :p

rapthorne.7345:

can you not just do the living story on 3 different characters if you want each type of carapace armour?

Nope. only worked for shoulders, and leggings. which when i think about it i guess what i would like is the ability to trade the non-story ones for other non-story ones. like, gloves for boots, since i already can get the leggings. in fact, bout an hour before i posted this reply, i got a second gloves box. more useless armor.

See, i’m not crazy, other people want this too.

I spent a few days farming away for badges in silverwastes, knowing i;d never get a gloves box, but at the same time knowing the moment i bought the gloves, i WOULD get a box. and wouldnt you know it, i did. long after i unlocked the skin, i get a free pair of gloves. so I was wondering if maybe you could give us the ability to trade boxes at the merchants, a box for a box. maybe even a box for a box + a few crests. just something else other than “oh look, a level 80 rare to salvage that could have saved me 1000 crests”

I’m setting my FPS limiter to 30, but my FPS is capping itself at 25. i set it to 60, it caps at 50. i set it to unlimited and i have no issues, but i dont like running at unlimited. V-sync is turned off, and no matter what the other settings are it doesnt change. it does, however, randomly scale itself back up to 30 at very random times, but then reverses itself once more. what is the cause of this?

Konig Des Todes.2086:

This was a change to the personal storyline in the 9/9 feature update. There are several dozen threads on this matter already, a few are on the front page of this lore forum. Long answer short: Anet gone done kittened up the plot.

Thank you.

I’m sorry but.. I seem to be missing several story steps, and others are in different places… cleansing all of Orr before i even set foot inside? what happened to the Pale Tree’s question? why does Trahearne seem shocked to see a single Abomination when he saw 8 of them several story steps prior? Seriously, I want some Anet dev help on this one. what happened to all the story steps?

Vayne.8563:

I don’t think most people know what it is. It’s the reward for the personal story completion now.

It’s okay…not a big deal to me.

Edit: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mentor%27s_Kit

thanks for linking that. probably would have been smart of me to post that myself, actually. but yeah, mentor’s kit contains 5 level up books. usable on any pre-80 character. personally i’d love to get this item. the rest of the stuff isnt much of an issue

not even a comment on this?

Any chance people who already completed the story mode with other characters might get one of these for each character? I mean we DID go through the work of actually playing through the whole story without these new rewarding things.

When traited with Greater Marks, the Blast Radius on Chillblains is blank.

I would love to see an Expansion sale soon. Bank tabs, character slots, bag slots and collections, all 4 on sale would be great.

Do they exist? is it possible to craft them? or is it solely an Ascended Weapon chest drop?

ZudetGambeous.9573:

It’s a bug, it is supposed to ALWAYS show contested, regardless of its current status so that you have to WP twice. This was added as a “feature” to increase gold sinks.

really? awful convenient, since i;ve waypointed over before when it was open, from another map, and gotten right in. today is just one of those special days i guess

Ok, first off.. Hate the megaserver. now then, legitimate complaint time..

I’m trying to get to Balthazar to buy some obsidian shards. I was in Hoelbrak, and opened my map, scrolled down.. hey, what do you know, Balthazar is open. so I waypoint down… and suddenly, waypoint contested? turns out, the Megaserver decided that.. I didn’t want to get to the open Balthazar.. it thinks I want to farm, or whatever else. thats odd.. I go back to Hoelbrak though, and im back in the server that has the open balthazar! any Anet person wanna maybe try to explain why this is beneficial?

well…… thanks^^;;

I’m certain the answer is no, but I cant seem to find a topic about it.. and I figure this is the spot to ask at. but if we consumed Multiple jade tickets for the same skin, can we get a refund of the Jade Claim ticket?

With the new system being what it is, and the new way to obtain skins… i was curious, is it still possible to obtain what is now known as the Tribal Armor? and if not… think you could maybe add it to the wvw skin vendors for badges or something?

And Devil Horns >>

any chance we could see those re-released somehow? they were FREE after all. I mean, I even had the game at the time, my computer was just suffering frequent blue screens, preventing me from actually playing.

Still don’t understand why you didnt just take it back… i’ve never once complained about not being able to use my town clothes in combat. i dont give one iota about it. but what i do care about is being able to customize my outfit. this is step one of the death of a game…

oh geez, lighten up, its for one day.

hey look, my whisper is in your screenshot..

This just in: you cant buy things from Moto right now! the option just doesnt exist. coincidence?! i think not!

DeceiverX.8361:

….because 10% damage overall includes damage dealt by non-critical strikes, thus…

I’m sorry… what? are you dense? they’re saying the decrease to crit damage results in an overall loss, not that they are reducing POWER by 10%. non-crit strikes will still be just as powerful(or not, depending on your point of view) as they were before.

I’m still holding fast to my opinion. if this change is the only way to be able to use town clothes in combat, then no thank you. i’ll keep the split.

i personally think the Basic stones should give 1 charge, and the Crystals should give 5 charges. all armor changes below 80 should cost 1 charge, and level 80 armor changes cost 5 charges. this way, basic stones still allow SOME use for level 80 armor sets, but still dont end up costing us a ton.

Substance E.4852:

SakuraJD.4720:

i can understand both sides. sure, you have two of them, and now they’re visual aspect is reduced heavily with the ability to transmute them to every character.. but then, you also have the ability to swap stats on both, not just one. sure, a two-handed weapon could do the same, but with only 1 item crafted, but then again, you made the choice to make two of them, as well as use two 1-hand weapons… personally, i think maybe you should get some kind of compensation, but not a “box of gold” like some people asked for.

Why should people be compensated for anything? They still have access to two daggers with the ability to swap stats at will. A person could copy the incinerator skin to a million daggers but only one would be a purple stat item.

I have no valid reason why they should.
