Guild Wars 2

And then, no more bosses will be brought down, because players refused to stop dps to rezz other players

Aww, thought was some sort of survival horror

Tip for those jumping puzzles: use a mesmer, or even better, a necromancer character

Why Necro?

This makes JPs much easier as a necromancer: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Spectral_Walk

It has a lower cooldown than Portal AND it can protect you from many missed jumps that Portal cannot (if the fall leads to your death)

Ah, I thought they broke stuff like that a long time ago along when they went crazy with “no valid path to target”

No, that’s the Thief mostly

Portal users don’t have issues ( thief has also problems with the teleport trap ).

Copper-Fed Salvage-o-Matic

/thread

Ts i suggest you to take your time and enjoy hot first.

Seriously, read before buy something.

tip: try with a ticket but don’t put much hope in this.

If you are talking about pro player i agree, but the whole community will say different things. If devs were listening to the community every single time we see “OMG IS BROKEN” ( and i am talking about class balance only ) there will be less balance than now.

First rule of balancing, don’t listen to the entire community.
Never.

1) having the item does not ruin the market. Sharing it yes. So trust me, they won’t allow any1 to trade em.

2) LOL. I would like something like this ( i just need 20 to complete and would be like saving up 6k golds ). But as said before, there no chance.

here’s btw the races speeches list.

Emprer.7256:

Forget the corgi mount. I demand a giant yellow elephant with a mustache as mount! Just kittening take my money now

What have i done.

onevstheworld.2419:

To every who wants more realism/seriousness:
Anet are adding a gaint bunny mount to the game… need I say more?

(For the record, I’d love to ride a Corgi with my max sized Charr)

There could be as charrs and asura do exist.

It is a fantasy world but there’s no need to put a giant yellow elephant with a mustache, if you know what i mean.

Adding something which is strange is ok, but there’s no need for it to become ridiculous.

Is it for sure that there won’t be multifloor maps?
Plain maps after hot could make me sick

Verdant Brink was spendid.
Definitely the best of 4.

I really don’t get what’s happening with the incoming release.

-please add flying mount
-let us give names to mount
-give mount emotes
-add corgi mount
-next expansion should be underwater

Wat

I don’t want to be too materialist, but if a 30€ game grants me 30/50 hours of content ( new content. No farm contempled. Just exploration, jp, story, some interesting achies, events… etc… ) i am fine with it.

Then the farm and the grind are going to come.
Obviously.
And as ts said players will probably chose the Most efficient ma to make stuff.

But At The end of the tour, this is simply Normal.

I just see gw2 as a filler game, and ofc sometimes happens that i decide to play for a Little longEr ( maybe a specific skin, or something else ), but still it is, to me, not something that has to be seen as a problem, but on the contrary a Good quality.

I would Say buy the expansion if you want more of the same, and if you got tried, simply change game and come back when ever you want ( ls4 maybe or seasonal events ).

My combo is currently monthly hb + gw2.
Talking about vg.
;)

Underwater extra content is a thing, but an expansion meant to be played underwater would be annoying.

dagrdagaz.4913:

oh yeah, that hideous green aura :-(
The main reason i will never use Soulbeast.

I was hoping for some kind of ghostly animal animation/aura, like u see with GS skill 2 and 3.

Same. Why is it green? How many Ranger pets are green? Maybe a couple of the drakes? It’s SOULbeast. SOULS are normally depicted as white, not as green…white is at least considered a neutral color.

It grants you survival

“Oh god a Reaper. Run!”

But instead, it was a SoulBeast.

A toy section like “zenith weapons” would be really appreciated.

Aomine.5012:

I can reach 14327260 with my thief in bloodstone map.

Probably can reach higher than you if I go warrior and sentinel armor, but would I really wanna do that??Hmmm.

You don’t need warrior.
Never thought that anyone else would do this.
Edit: 27,399,496 is the highest i reach in bloodstone fen with shaman equip.

Try in S3 ep 5 Flashpoint.
Chapter “Heart of the volcano”.
Then try to remove the last anchor and jump from the first place ( maybe 2 players required cause i am not sure that after the last anchor is destroyed there will still be air to return on the top ).

edit: didn’t see ray post

Thought it was clear what i meant.

A thief can’t join a zerg and pretend to remain alive as could maybe do a guardian, warrior or elementalist.

He can stay ranged and and survive using dodges and teleports instead.
And can also join for an instant, to finish an almost dead target, then came out.

Also i wasn’t talking about “jobs”, because these “jobs” shouldn’t have existed at first, as they declared.

We simply have classes as any other mmo.
With specify roles.

Wtf is that creepy thing.

Fact is you can have as much toughness as you want ( armor ), but if you don’t have sustain, vitality, invul, protection, condition cleanse, and so on, you are nothing.

You have 3k armor?
If an elementalist has 2400 and protection on you are way below him.
That’s it.

The fact that Toughness needs protection and other requirements ( as listed before ), is not the real problem.

Protection gives -33% dmg ( tempest -40% i guess ).

If Armor would work better and maybe protection provides less damage reduction ( but as a Total, the same amount given by Armor + Protection ), you’ll have removing boons nearly useless.

You could Tank with only Toughness ( imagine a warrior or a necro ).

The real issue here, to me, is that since gw2 release, promises were made.

Like

“every class will be able to do everything and cover every “role”, but also there won’t be “roles”.

or issues

“Many classes don’t have access to all boons/removal/conditions”.

You want to get tanky with thief?
You Can’t.
You just have dodges and teleport, but no sustain, no protection, no healings, no invul, etc…

I’d say that currently we have to accept that things work this way, and that the game is mostly boons/conditions wars, and every class has probably its own role in pve and pvp.

Hawken.7932:

I imagine it’s both to let you know what mode you’re in (I even have trouble remembering with that huge effect!) and for PvP for enemies to know as well.

That’s it.
But still there could be an option for the user to disable the animation for himself.

It is right for the enemy to know if you enter ( or you currently are ) in beast mode, but really could be annoying for the user.

Valediction.3275:

I’ve got a question. How may people here have legendary weapons? Out of those, how many would be okay if they put out a new RNG box in the gem store that dropped legendary weapons, and then prices on said items dropped by 90%+? I can’t help but think that a lot of people were okay with this only because it didn’t happen to their stuff.

That’s not the same thing.
It is like

“you started today and after months of playing you happened to see a really good skin that you want, but HEY! YOU CAN’T! cause it is from a past event”

What then?

Story and Seasonal items push people to play, cause they know they won’t have a second chance to get the item ( maybe next halloween, for a standard seasonal event, or maybe after years of playing, for something like S1 Memory Boxes ).

If somebody couldn’t play, didn’t play gw2 when the event occoured, and so on, there should be a way to get items back.

Memory boxes help, but still they are tricky cause RNG both in drops and tokens because:

-Every box does not give you a standard amount of tokens ( at least one, but it’s a joke and we all know ).
-Drops from Tokens and RNG does not share ( you couldn’t get the item you want cause RNG, and still have many tokens, and viceversa you could get your drop from RNG but be unable to buy from tokens cause bad tokens RNG ).
-Soulbound items ( you have to buy boxes in order to get your items. There are only few items avaible from TP ).

More like a legit scam than an extra option to get items from a past event, only cause its own unfairness.

On the other hand, we do have a way to get things we couldn’t before.

So… we made it?
Did we stress the server enough?

Ashantara.8731:

I couldn’t find the info on how long this stress test will be. It’s almost 1 a.m. here and I can hardly keep my eyes open…

Did you say anything?

God, with the new salvagable items we are going to make many more resources.
I don’t know if the future recipes will need that much materials, but even if so, it could be a problem with a base tier bank storage.

I know that you can save em end salvage the items when needed, but this will also mean that you will be forbidden to obtain MF ( if you are not capped ) untill you decide to shard everything or part of it.

I do like the new zone.
Some monster seems to be pretty op ( like the beginning of HoT ), but mostly because i suck with Ranger class, i guess.

Ps: i also mistaken one of the new monster for a lazor engineer, then went afk and got killed lol.

edit: guess i signed up for a “race” without having a raptor.

Caracho.5923:

Would love to give the same positive feedback but so far I am really disappointed in the support (and i am probably not the only one). I get it that there is a new expansion comming and so on but 8 days and still waiting for an answer is kind of ridiculous.

They said that there will be delays depends on the ticket’s urgency ( due to the incoming release of PoF ).
I am also waiting since 7/8 days but that’s all.

We don’t know their priority.
We wait.

Guess you are gonna miss all things from HoT.

-Zones
-Story
-Elite Spec

As stated by Randulf, i also don’t see any reason for guild buffs.

The rule of supply and demand.

And also, if it were possible to obtain through the game, i think the price would have been almost the same…

…or worse!
He could have done specific things:

-From tokens farm to time gating tasks.
-From random drops to Achievements/Boss kills ).
-From Mystic Forge RNG to Seasonal Content ( Oh i missed halloween… well, i only have to wait till next year! ).

Having the opportunity to buy it from the TP should be a Must for everything.
Maybe you won’t buy it from there, but you still had the choice.

I wanted HOPE as a legendary item.
Great i have plenty of golds… Checkin TP… oh… nothing? Oh Darn, i have to play and have no possibility to go through the TP.

I really wanted it so i did it at last, but it sucked that i had to play with no alternatives.

I made many golds through Winter’s JP.
Many people would have done Chest Farm Instead.
Others PVP/WvW.
And so on.

I understand that the choice here is unfair, due to the RNG drop of the Tokens, but this case apart it is really good to have the TP selling Everything.

If the Story is really the only personal issue, an item like the one jokke proposed ( with the warning ) could be really something.

Also, you two apart, there will be an infinite number of players who will gladly buy the item.

To me is fine ( less customization leads to “more balance”. Or at least prevents a loss of balance ).

I would like that weapons could be really a choice.
You know i guess about MOBAs.

It is frequent that sometimes the developers buff and debuff, changing the meta.
Here in gw2 is not “that frequent”.
And also is full of weapons which are really not a choice, compared to others.

They could do a good job changing the meta every X months, simply by changing ( not slightly adjusting ) skills.

I would like to see more Expertise/Condition stats and a rewamp of Conditions ( lowering to the ground their duration, and leaving the current one as a reward for “full expertise” builds ). Would be like Power and Ferocity.

Maybe more 4x Stats Pieces… but i fear they could be broken in some classes’s hands.

Guess he mean like any other mmo, having weapons not linked to specific skills.

There’s much you can do improve your items quality:

-Exotic to Ascended ( 96% vs 100% on main stat. IE Power for a zerk armor ).
-Food ( provide you stats and/or utility. Like -X% condition duration or -X% dmg while cc ).
-Oils/etc ( provide you Extra stats based on Stats, or flat stats ).
-Infusions ( 18 slots x 5 stats = 90 extra stats ).
-Black Lion Items ( or Candy Gobber ). 5% Extra Damage + 5% Damage Reduction ( also a slighty health regen like 0.5xlvl HP/s )
-Signet of Bloodlust ( or whatever signet you need )- ( +250 extra stat ).

Here’s a link of a normal zerk with no consumables, nor ascended, nor infusions, etc…

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vZAQFAFA-TlRDgA9K/SUCCY+7V9H+9HA1BAA-w

And here an ascended full buffed.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vZAQJAVIA-TlBEABMp8Ln9HaTHwWKBTU9HAOCABAQAcezbezbezzNv5Nv5NvZpAiYZE-w

Talking about main stat ( because remember that ascended equipment for an instance look at critical hit or critical dmg stats and compare the 2 builds, and also slightly the armor ), we are talking about 600 extra main stat which is over 25% extra dmg.

It’s up on you btw.
I am with who says that stats does not count in wvw ( also it is meant to do zerg vs zerg. whoever is going solo, farming, dailies, achievements, etc… is simply 1 people less for its own team ).

Wintermute.5408:

I myself never understood the point of most difficult content dropping best gear. You’ve already finished most difficult content – why the hell would you need more powerful gear now?

The question is: Why the difficulty should drop time by time cause you have better equipment?

Pro Guilds probably could finish ( through many tries ) a content with base equipment, but the others who couldn’t ( cause they both suck and have maybe not enough time ) are going to complete it with a powerful equipment.

Really cool.

Many years of mmos have changed players mind.
Something like an OCD ( need to do, instead of playing for fun, for an instance ).

They need a “progression” ( stats, not aesthetic ), and “someone who tell em what to do” instead of things like exploration. Also Time Sink is something that is “required” to slow down the progress.

To my experience ( personal and not ) it is difficult to change the mind of who has it as an habit… you could maybe try to bring em around the world trying events, exploration, and so on… then once in a while a JP, and ofc other game with gw2 ( which does not require farming, but ofc you can farm to achieve something not “stats related” ).

Kitty La Boom Boom.4065:

Shirlias.8104:

A Capped Character now has 364 unspent points.

So the player should be able to unlock everything since the beginning ( also don’t forget “proof of heroic” tokens, which allows you to claim HP whithout exploring the place ).

What are “‘proof of heroic’ tokens”?

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Proof_of_Heroics

Multiaccount ( afk ) could be an extra or not?

So can be both in the end.
Then is not a No but a maybe, like the opposite.

Actually 1500 units radius would 750 units dinstance from enemies.

LOL

currently is dps/healing spam.
Now you want to remove probably one of the few things left to do?

Would be the right time to make everything account shared ( map completion, hp, etc… ), and find a new way to obtain “gifts” needed for legendaries.

Fat Disgrace.4275:

Thief – trickery

Would that create build diversity or ruin it more?

It will simply destroy an entire class.

Thanks both of you.

What does “time gating” mean?

caveman.5840:

cant u just delete all your characters and change servers ?

This.
If he’s a new one the best Way is to reroll on your server.
Tell him to put everything into the Bank and then gg.

Boost him through dungeon runs full buffed ( maybe cof mastery farm could be a fast Way to get back a capped character )

That is a really Nice idea.
Or also an upgrade from gemstore.

Maybe as a BLC random drop ( or Chest of Black Lion Goods, from Daily Login ), but i really doubt there will be a way to farm em ( and for god’s sake i would add ).

Manijin.3428:

But it’s inconvenient for players that don’t care about the story, so ANet probably won’t do that.

It’s a time issue more than a pleasue issue.
As you said people could like or not a similar thing, but if implemente would mean the normal work x9 instead x1.

That’s why i really doubt they are going to give a “different walkthrough” to every single class.
