Light armour is nothing more than some padding on normal every day clothing.
In fact, calling it light ARMOUR, is a joke to it’s name.
Guild Wars have poetic licensing.. They can make something into whatever they want, and if that means they want a Dervish class without including some kind of holy unity to govern it, then they may do so.
Also, the gods affect ALL of Tyria, but the Humans are the only one’s who worship them. (sort of)
Sexy and skimpy for most people are normally linked my friend.
Still tons of players who just want to play PvE with their friends and not be lag killed by someone in a PvP forced environment.
It’s not Guild Wars, without Guild Halls.
We need somewhere we can all meet and hang out, do a bit of RP, prepare for a dungeon, or WvW conquest.
Cities are mainly crowded, unless you go to the grove…. And a guild is not a guild if it has no base.
Please, I beg you, bring back guild halls instances…. and allow us to expand our halls to have the bank, guild bank, skill trainers, merchants, etc..etc
Give us somewhere to call home, and a place to feel like a guild should do.
Two features that I think are sorely needed in GW2 are duelling and viewing player gear. I run up to someone with awesome looking armour and weapons and I want a option to click “Show gear” and see the persons hero panel and what the various items are called.
Another feature is duelling. How cool would it be to see two players in legendaries fight it out? I just think that having the option to duel another player is a must in mmo’s.
So you are a refugee from WoW then….figured as much.
Seriously, if you bring this rubbish to GW2… You will get people being kicked out of dungeons for what they have struggled hard to earn, because it’s not the right stats in the eyes of others.
And dueling? If you want to duel, then go to WvW and hide behind the windmill near the bottom of the map.
Better still, just go back to WoW and stop trying to ruin our sanctuary.
ONCE A MONTH!!!!
You think that’s a good thing?
The fact is, the people who don’t want to do the WvW are forced into having to do it if they want to get 100%
This is wrong, and that’s why it should be removed.
People like myself want the world completion as a personal goal, not for the legendary items you get, because I don’t have, or want a legendary weapon. I don’t like them at all, and it’s a personal choice.
I can guarantee that many players on UW are simply not into WvW, otherwise a highly populated server would NOT be struggling so much in WvW – We do Dungeons, Lifestory, Farming (champs or otherwise) and Guild events…
We are NOT a WvW server.
Also, to get people to try WvW, should be an option they chose to do, and if they never do it, then so be it. I have people in my guild who have never done a single PvP battle, and they aren’t forced into it… It’s their game, they can decide how they play it.
If a-net really must get people involved, they already have done so by adding the achievements you can gain by taking part…. Examples.. Tower, Camps, Guard Kills, Repairing Towers.
To go beyond this and force PvE’ers into WvW so they can get their map complete, will not make them enjoy it as it instantly becomes a more PvP environment for them and puts them off going there.
You either love WvW or hate it, and trial by fire is NOT a good way to make that call.

I’d like to see active RP around queensdale, and not the usual
“Where’s the train?”
“Boar”
“Has Behe been yet?”
“Yes”
“Ok, ty”
“Boar Down – onto Troll”
“Troll down already, people skipped Boar”
“Those F***S – ruining the train route”
“lol”
“Where’s the train now”
“Bandit then Oak, then Spider”
“Spider down”
“F**K SAKE!!”
“lol”
“Ok, go to Boar, people, please make one train only”
“Noobs”
And so on…. There is only so much of that I can take in a day.
Love the idea!
For the Human and Norn.. You could have the God/Animal they chose when in character creation screens.
Got to be the Mini-Golems which run around Metrica for the Asuran revival.
Charr need Totems of some kind to prop on the floor which glow RED.
Sylvari could use the vines or pool of water (like in the cleansing of Orr mission)
Please can we stop the having to go into WvW to get 100% PVE map completion.
It forces too many of us on PvE servers to go into something we don’t like to do, just to gain something we DO want.
For people on UW server, before all the WvW guilds left, we stood a chance at getting the bits we need from WvW, but now they have gone… We trail behind so much and cant even explore all of our own Border to gain what we need for world completion.
This will also stop the PvE players having to interrupt the WvW players, and will cause less stress and hassle to both parties.
My argument to this is:
Keeping with what we have all the time, and adding nothing new is becoming boring on a purely character level.
Sure, the living story is okay, and keeps us going, but the overall characters are now getting boring – and I am sorry to say this, but having different hair styles doesn’t cut it…
I have 9 characters, and I’m really fed up with making the same thing, and doing the same personal story line over and over.
Also, what I will add, is that the title of this topic is for 2014/15…. not this year or any time soon. Which I think some of you may not think about when answering.
The game needs a kick at some point, maybe not now, maybe not soon, but at some point it will become stagnant.
(edited by Sickle.6502)
The fact that players in the game all have different views and opinions of what is satisfactory and what is not, is where the divide is, and personally, I enjoy the nature of light armour, it’s nothing more than clothing, and women DO wear skimpy or tight clothing.
I wouldn’t say the game is catered for the male populace, when many females want to use this game, to make themselves feel good about themselves too. It’s a bit prudish to think otherwise really, and so I say keep the armour as it is.
It’s too much of a few things to focus and specialize in one thing. Whereas a Monk is pure Healing and Damage reduction/Condition removal… And a Paragon is pure Support.
I would much rather make characters which help others keep me alive, than to just think I can go solo and kill everything – At the end of the day, Team Work is so much better, If I wanted to play solo, I could go back to Gw1 for that.
Please add an option to hide both living and normal story from the UI.
- On average laptop resolution they cover quite of lot of space of the interface.
- There’s no reason to do story after lvl50 (BL key) but to hide it, cos its annoying there.
- No one cares about the living story after completing it, but its still on the UI …
Finish the Arah Dungeon story mode and your story line goes away like magic!
It is pretty simple:
They are not actively trying to disrupt your game. They are just playing the way they want to play using the emotes the way it was intended. (Big news: the main use for the custom emotes is for roleplay.)
You would be actively trying to disrupt their game if you did that, though, which is considered griefing.They ARE behaving. You are the one that is complaining for nothing and refusing to accept the solutions. Also, calling them “idiots” don’t make your argument any more reliable. You are just sounding like a whining brat right now.
Edit: I forgot about something important. I remember that a dev stated that they wouldn’t label TC as “official RP server” or create a official RP server because that would attract trolls like a sugar cube attracts ants. It was ages ago, though.
Oh hell yes! – Plus, for someone who doesn’t use English as a main language, you do a remarkably good job Gabby.
Smiles sweetly, and bows to Gabby, to show respect
(Oh! did I just do some RP, how naughty of me)
You can’t escape RP, and I for one enjoy it. There are many people who like to RP too, and I may just hop over to this RP server and guest there when I get bored of the grind.
There are ways to make it so you cannot see the RP, just make a new chat box tab and use that for party talk only, and you can ignore the RP in main chat that way. Personally, I welcome ALL RP players, and I am glad to see I am not the only person who enjoys a good RP session.
Can I come to TC as a guest and RP with you all?

Skritt are awesome, and I would love a Skritt Thief.
Quaggan are just for commedy value, the game isn’t only about stats and strong characters.
Ritualist: wears light armour and summons spirits (not weapons) They also have bundles like engineers do.
~~
Paragon: wears heavy armour and throws Spears and their skills revolve around Spears and Leadership/Shout/command type abilities.
~~
Guardian: wears heavy armour and wields a 1-handed weapon + shield/torch, or a big 2- handed weapon… All of which are considered melee except the scepter/staff.
On top of this, they can offer healing to those close enough, and themselves, also have a limited amount of support skills such as Save yourselves/Stand your ground/Retreat!… and a few others.
The Guardian is so much more like a Paladin by any other standard RPG, and this game is (or claims to need) people working together….. well a Paragon is purely designed as support, and has mid ranged spears to use for their damage.

If the game scaled the champions correctly, then yes you could in fact make the Champs harder.
Champions are supposed to be group event kills, so making them so starters cannot kill them is nothing less than what they are supposed to be designed for.
Champions should NEVER be allowed to be killed by a single player, no matter how good they are.
The reason I love the new patches and updates to the world bosses, is the timers and how difficult they made them – The epic scale of a battle is the amount of players Vs the toughness of a monster.
Champions do not deserve the name, if they cannot live up to it.
By the way a-net, the Dragons are exactly right now, challenging, even deadly at times (tequatl) but LOTS of fun…. Now increase their reward in the box from greens and blues, to at least a single exotic…. and you will have the perfect balance.
Would be nice to have any of the following added to the game….
Classes:
~ Dervish
~ Ritualist
~ Paragon
Races:
~ Skritt
~ Quaggan
~ Tengu
~ Kodan
~ Dwarf
Weapons:
~ Polearms
~ Spears
I disagree with this, as I feel the whole point of it being an action MMORPG, is that you have to judge your distances yourself, and if you swing out of distance, you miss, if you spell cast or fire a shot off, you miss…. It’s so much better this way, move to target took too little effort in combat for me.
No thanks, Sandbox – No chance!
Personally, I like the idea of Sheathed weapons animation, Also – I agree that weapons should be optional on the back or side, some swords look good on the side when sheathed, others would look great on the back…. and having two swords on the back, and unsheathing them at the same time…would look amazing!
Guild Wars 1 had a far better stat system, and was a far better game than this is altogether.
Champions are no longer champions in my eyes, they should be rare and powerful foes, not frequent and possible solo kills.
Since the champion farming and the change for Magic Find has come into play, the gold exchange rate and the economy has been destroyed in Guild wars 2.
Seriously, the economy is now broken due to champion farming in various maps. I used to buy slots for new characters at around 30g, now I have to pay minimum of 56g, and it’s only since “Champion Farming” has been born.
Roughly 56g gets you 800 gems now, what a total joke… A-net need to sort the rate out at which champions spawn, decreasing it to each one, once per hour.
The reason the champions are farmed at the rate they are, is because of two factors, with a possible third thrown in.
1) Time for respawn
2) Reward
~~ Possible ~~
3) Difficulty
~~~
With these three things in mind, this is what needs to be altered.
Either, increase their spawn time to once an hour, to stop farmers hanging around, and thus make the rarity of the champions come back.
Reduce what they drop for sure, and only have the champion drop the elite bags once per day, per character.
Make them harder to kill, make them hit harder, make them hit more people at once, (give them AOE if you must) – Do something to make them a much tougher and BIGGER challenge!
Any one of these ideas, would fix the issue with farming, and if no farming is happening, no trains will form, and no bad mouthing of players who are supposed “messing up the train” or as I call it “derailing it”
Sorry you had a bad experience. It is a social game, so one should expect people to be running in groups, right? Instead of thinking antisocial and punishing others, try being inclusive and joining the group. You might find it’s a lot more fun!
Out of 26 Zones, only 3 have any large group play like farming. The resources given toward and the opportunity for solo roaming by far outweigh any given toward large group play.
Incorrect, as it is now, I can farm around 500 Ore’s of Orichalcum in around 4-5 days (Normally sells for around 29-30), if I only do it in one zone that is.
By farming champions you can make half of that in half a day.
Getting the same problem here, I logged in and it’s as if I am in a newly made guild, with only me in it, and no logo, name, list of members, ranks, influence or upgrades…. To top that all off… I cant access my guild bank. which stored LOTS of mats for crafting…
This is NOT acceptable at all… Please fix it!
Oh christ, again we face the same two servers… this is getting old, and FAST….
Can we not just have friday evenings as a time of peace, so Millers, Drakkars and Underworld guys….. can finally get their bloody Vista’s, POI’s and such?
The lag gets so bad sometimes… to a point it freezes up the game, and an error comes up and the game crashes shortly afterwards.
It’s not just me, it’s a few people I know around here ,all with top end PC specs and Net speed… Yet we ALL suffer same the thing.
The same thing happens with the Events such as Dragons, or Maw, or Behemoth. .etc.. Anywhere with a high density of players and skill usage.
I run the game on top graphics on normal PvE and other WvW area’s.. it runs smoothly.. As soon as I get into areas with high population, and especially in area’s with big Spell’s being cast (In particular, the Elementalist Meteor Shower spell)…
That is how I KNOW, it’s NOTHING to do with my computer, it’s dust content, it’s components, or anything else!
I run fibre-optic net too, 75mb… More than adequate for gaming.
I tried this out, and I have to say it works great.. 1-400.. VERY happy indeed.. Spent hardly anything on materials, except some dusts here and there.
I went from level 4 to 20 in the space of 30-45 mins.
Is this legit? does it still work after 6 months?
Seriously A-net – I set all the graphics settings during WvWvW to the lowest possible, and STILL the amount of Lag you get in big Zerg fights, or anything over 10 players or so, is just ridiculous.
Can you not find ways to reduce this Lag?
You are just ruining the game for the people who WANT to fight in WvW, but are unable to for the simple reason of too much Lag stopping them in combat.
Who the hell would want to continue like this?… and as you have all decided to make the WvWvW compulsory to get world completion 100%.. (THIS being wrong in my opinion) There needs to be a way to get what we need, in a way we can do it, for everyone’s computer specs and locations.
4 weeks in a kitten row now, facing the same bloody servers…., and still haven’t managed to be swapped location wise, or get my 100% world completion.
Arena net, PLEASE find a way so people who enter WvW have the option to go as combatants or just for the sake of getting their 100% world completions, and make those people unable to kill or be killed..
No offense, but I hope not.. I am getting bored with the same time zone (albeit an hour in front of the UK) and tactics routine, something has to give eventually… surely?
You guys are stopping me getting my POI’s and Vistas I need to get my completion, IF only I could get those, I couldn’t give a monkeys who we face.
Would have been nice, if we ARE to keep this dance going, to at least change the venue.
I personally think Mesmers are not suitable with their Mirrors+Confusion to be used in PvP or WvWvW – I would remove the class altogether and use a different one from GW1
I very much hope for a Paragon class in the future. Mesmers as they are now, are just ridiculously overpowered and need to be got rid of.
Underworld (My Realm) have been playing Drakkar Lake, and Miller Sound this week, and last week too… BOTH of which are GERMAN, and both teams tend to use this fact to play together and band together against Underworld.
I feel this is WRONG, entirely and needs to be fixed somehow.
I would suggest to look for a way in future to find possible Alliance based WvW – with entirely different maps.
Another thing I will gripe about,. is the fact that, we normally have a hard fight all week, but come friday… it’s as if both teams give up, but yet we STILL have to face them the following week, rinse and repeat… To me, this is boring, and also wrong!
Something needs to be done.
Hacked on Sunday 9th December, sent a ticket and got a response, but I am still waiting for my account to be restored… 20/12/12
Hacked on Sunday 9th December, sent a ticket and got a response, but I am still waiting for my account to be restored… 14/12/12
Does anybody know the answers to my questions?
1) – Will stuff like Skins be restored when an account is restored?
2) – How long will it take to sort out an account restore once the ball is rolling?
3) – If I continue to play while waiting for my account to restore, will I lose all my progress I made within the time it took for my account to be restored?
Ummm, so as I have already mentioned that I got my account hacked on this Sunday just gone (10th Dec I believe) ….How do I go about being restored?
I have changed my password since then under the black listing system, and I don’t use this password on any other site.
Hacked, lost a lot of stuff, almost lost faith in the game...but
in Account & Technical Support
Posted by: Sickle.6502
This is total bullcrap, I log on only to find ALL my stuff gone, and all my characters in odd places, with all the symptoms of a hack which everyone else has been unfortunate to experience here also – but even my Guild Bank was raided…. I can only apologize to my guild for losing all their stuff too, but wait a second….. Why the hell should I??
This is down to A-net and their kitteny excuses for lack of account backup and security.
Needless to say, I have stopped playing the game, and if they think spending Karma will suffice, over full exotic gear? they are totally deranged!
I won’t be advancing my characters for some moron to just come along and swipe all my stuff once more after following ALL safety account precautions which are “supposed” to keep accounts impenetrable… We all can see this isn’t the case.
Oh well, back to monthly paid games I guess… Sigh! I was going to buy my family members this game for Christmas this year also, but screw that!
(edited by Sickle.6502)
Wouldn’t a non-deletable outbox in the mail solve this problem? because we would know what was sent, to which account, by who, at whatever time – Making it possible to get full details of the thief, and to get the stuff back?
I have had the very same problem and have submitted a question form to the support staff.
All my crafting mats, my exotic gear, my Karma jugs, my gold, – Even my Guild Bank has been stolen from.
On top of this, all the stuff I purchased from the in game Shop, with my REAL cash, has also been stolen.
This is just unacceptable, and A-net need to get this sorted, otherwise more people will suffer, and eventually the game will just have nobody playing it for fear of losing all their stuff.
