Guild Wars 2

I would like to see legendaries implemented as a REAL legendary. No gold farm or grind involved, but letting you choose what you want. I would make it like this: at the beginning of your adventure you are allowed to pick a weapon with level 80 exotic stats. This can be any weapon you like!

The beginning of the legendary quest would require completion of the personal story and then the player can choose a personal story instance. He gets the option to do different things, a very big range with a lot of options:
- Zone selection: would you like to adventure in the fiery lands of Ascalon, the snowy mountains of the Shiverpeaks or the Maguuma Jungle, the green fields where reign the Seraph or the coastal regions of Orr?

- Allegiance selection: who do you want to support? In each of the areas you have villains and good guys. For example: in the Maguuma part there are the Inquest, the Nightmare Court. There are bandits near the human homelands. There are also the flame legion for the charr and the sons of svanir for the norn.
The legendary quest should allow you to ally with one of these sides!

Effect & colour selection: based on the quests you go!
Take the example I have. I have a charr warrior and If I would have the option I would choose to become a gladius and get banned from the Blood Legion. My sword could then turn a rusty colour, and maybe after another instance I kill the blood legion imperator and my sword turns bloody.

LOL poor AG. 15/

No Arbor doesn’t have anything against us. Sure, it’s great for bag farming and WXP ranking, but practically they just aren’t matched right :/

There’s a guild menu, opened up with “G”. There should be a guild invite from The Old Boys there. Just tap “accept” and then “represent”. That should make you able to talk in the guild chat, say hello to everyone and start the fun.

Hahahahah, we’re fighting arborstone indeed lord of Semper Dius

Haha. They should really let us declare war on our own server, that would be epic.

Guys, they are changing it… Oh btw, was fun fighting my own server lol, dius, really?

They’re updating it atm it seems. And btw, I saw people from my server who were marked as invaders and we were fighting ;O

Got kicked out!

Yeah of course Nodders. I’ll send you an invite right away.

Yeah man, finally rid of the germans! I hope they keep it like this, I don’t want to get randomized atm.

Boomstin.3460:

Meh, i was looking forward to the Gandara-Ag-Fsp matchup.

Same… after we had RS & AM to fight…

Great fun on AM borderlands 3 hours ago till 1 hour ago. We took briar, lake, hills and bay, fought a lot of RS and also some AM (some members from dw). Thank you also to the Underworld Batallion who led us (soul).

Kind regards from The Old Boys.

YEEAAAH. Went roaming with some members of The Old Boys and a lot of gandaran PUGS aswell as Underworld Batallion commander and we took Redbriar, Greenlake, Hills and Bay on Abaddon’s Mouth borderlands. Epic action

More people are welcome! We still have a few spots open for kingsman rank aswell!

Astral Projections.7320:

Instead of a white flag when you run away, how about an animation where you grow a long bushy tail which then tucks itself between your legs as you run off. ^^

Could also be used by PvEers who just want to capture POIs and skill points.

Maybe people who are not in combat can do this? the others just die (muhahahah).

Open world dueling will bring about a lot of problems:
- lagg for low level players who are just trying to complete zones
- anet will have to make changes that players in a duel can’t attack anything else than their opponent
- group duels seem rather messy in open world
- blocking duels in open world will require new features aswell, while if you have a colosseum you can make it like this that you don’t need a block system, but you can only invite players to duel who are in the area of the colosseum
- the colosseum already exists in Black Citadel! Anet can easily use the existing model and make it a PvP duel arena.

Curunen.8729:

Fair point, although some of them make sense if for example you have an asymmetric weapon set/stance, with a priority of attacking using the MH – you might want one arm free, with defence on the vulnerable side.

That is the most probable answer to this and what I was thinking off aswell. Maybe having lighter protection on one arm allows you to risk more damage, but maybe do higher damage aswell. It might be an interesting idea to give shoulder sets a different defensive bonus, depending on the cosmetic looks. In reality these half-bare shoulderpads would indeed serve the idea that that side of the body is more mobile and would allow for faster attacks and harder hits. The other side can then be used to try to block off attacks.

In T/SPvP there are still a lot of people who can handle warrior. The request for these changes still seem to try to make warrior a bit too OP. Yes warriors lack healing compared to guardians, but they make up for that because their damage output is 2x higher than guardian’s.

Yeah, I think this the perfect solution for the current ‘dueling’ question. It would also give the players who are disgusted with both WvW (zergers) and SPvP (point capping). I disgust both because they lack the show of skill by players. Give me an arena and let me fight against equal numbers.

Maybe allow this when you are roaming with a small group and get zerged by suckers.

Warrior is nowhere near as ‘underpowered’ as you guys would like people to believe. I have a level 80 warrior, I play both berserk and a hybrid build and they work smooth. L2p before you make suggestions that aren’t necessary. Warrior is balanced.

NUH, we’re the only good guild on gandara (jokes)

PK Jannik.9021:

RS and Gandalfs u better b careful now, our commander became crazy :o We can only hear his laugh while fighting and we are building flame rams on Veteran Guards. Mabye it´s because of some missing sleep :s Event still running

The rams… they’re a distraction! For the guards! I think I can… grasp… -bwuk- his… thoughts.

I’m a moa. BWUK! o_O

Kwa-kwu kooo bwuk bak buk – Kwi wao kwuuuuk.

Google translator: From now on I will only speak moa-ish in match-up thread.

^I like the idea of arenas to be honest. Especially if you allow players to enter the arena and sit on benches watching the duelists

This
Thank You!
If grenades don’t suit you well, maybe you should try another kit.

Such as? Please point me to this kit that can do nearly as much damage as a fully speced Grenade kit…

(bonus points if it’s 1500 ranged)

Exactly. Grenade kit is our only viable long-ranged.

Helly.2597:

1. Play staff ele
2. Trait for greater staff aoes
3. Spam aoes in the zerg while it rushes in (just stand off to the side)
4. ?
5. Profit

In all serious though, think best day I had as staff ele was ~300 badges. Keep in mind that was running with a guild that more or less wiped everyone it faced including others guilds.

If you want more badges take a good aoe weapon/class (guardian is fantastic staff and gs geez) and just try and hit as many people as possible.

Best I got was 100 badges on a day I think, went staff ele aswell. I also play guardian on staff/hammer or staff/greatsword, sword-shield when roaming.

I think it would be better if they made towers/keeps/castles a lot better fortified, cause this game is loosing all touch with reality. I see towers/keeps being switched 5 times in a few hours. Really, fighting for a fortress should take hours, not minutes!

Too bad you’re on blackgate. Good luck finding the proper guild!

woomera.9841:

Just some raw clips put together from our small scale EB-sessions at monday night. Gotta luv AM and Rs blobs, peace out!
Mumble (finnish) + subtitles included. Enjoy.

Can you give me a look at your guardian build? I like rolling guardian in both heavy support and a dps role, might be worth trying yours though.

Guild rush this evening (maybe bounty & challenge too).

Hey starduster, I don’t know what server you’re on, but if you chance to be on gandara, be sure to check the old boys out too!

Links are in my signature

We’re gandara kaze.

Hello Kaze! I want to introduce you to our guild the Old Boys on Gandara. We are a very active guild of a medium size (a bit less than 100 active members, usually 10-30 online). Our members are mostly 100% representing, cause we really want to forge a community with close ties. If you want some more information, visit this thread and leave a message: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds/GAND-RA-EU-OB-Casual-Social-Mature/page/3#post2112771

Thanks!

Can believe that. That’s what, 20-30 golems?

Viking.1285:

Sirendor.1394:

Oh great. I gave it a try, despite the blobs etc, went in for 20 mins, ran into 3 blobs (30+ people) on 1 single map. Good job really 30 people vs. 5! The german servers are the worst players I’ve seen by far and the most cowardly aswell. Please drop out of the game, you’re a disgrace to WvW. This is especially AM.

Really? 30+ zergs are blobs now too?
Ok guys lets split up into 5-man groups only. And no group is allowed to come closer than 100 meters to each other!!

^I think AM is not in favor

Caid.4932:

Rhayn.9452:

Ok guys lets split up into 5-man groups only

Now there’s an idea I can get behind!

Idd, would be brilliant to do this for a day

We’ll love you if you do this

Crazy. I have a question by the way, do golems disappear as normal siege after a while?

I also made up this idea for improving commanders:

- Make a cap on the number of players who can join a squad. 20 seems reasonable
- Add extra squad interfaces, and tools:

• The commander has an option to see the people in his squad in a new “Squad interface”
• The Squad interface shows the number of supplies of each of the people in squad, shows the guild tag and the profession of the player, aswell as the name.
• Squad members can also open this squad interface to see the other guys in it.
• People in squad now have yellow names instead of green ones (such as gold names for guilds).

- Commanders can decide to hide their command tag from everyone who is not a member of their guild. This allows for covert guild operations.
- Also possibility to hide the tag from everyone who is not yet in the squad.
- Players can search for commanders (who are showing tag) in the Squad interface.

Chest 1: 5 badges, 1 catapult, a green
Chest 2: 5 badges, 1 arrowcart, a green

Aha, just noticed you already are in :p Okay

Hello developers/players, can someone please confirm me when custom arenas are being released? My guild has been looking forward to having their own arena for a time now and since the Time Tokens are released already, can we get a date for the Custom Arena Starter Kits?

Well last update certainly buffed zergs: events give extra wxp, soldiers in towers and keeps give wxp, using siege gives wxp (e.g. arrowcarts and rams). This all encourages players to zerg towers. They don’t have to bother to defend places either, cause they can just take them back for extra wxp after… The only objective for WvW seems to be bag farming and wxp farming now. Thanks Anet, another great update.

It could be like this that ladders are carried by npcs (sort of an outbreak event)

Yeah well they add stuff that may be nice, but they barely listen to what players ask:
- accountbound dyes
- dueling
- mounts
- more guild options (last online, events)
- wvw: squad improvement
- more weapons for some classes
- …

Instead they release a limited dungeon that gives crappy rewards. Good going…

It would actually give players something to do apart from zerging too.

Sorry, forgot to pop you an invite yesterday, got too caught up in WvW :P. Will do it in an hour or smth when I come on.

Yeah me wants.

I think I can, in my guild, I hear about every evening, ‘ah kitten I need to do the daily’, or ‘hold on I need to farm this node to complete daily’. Most people try to complete it, but they go out of their way for doing it, and they don’t enjoy doing it.

There’s also a complete post with complains about dailies, I think in the “guild wars 2 discussion” subforum.
