Guild Wars 2

I seriously cannot wait to see this bloody blog post they are doing later this month, it better have something god kitten special in it because if they seriously cannot figure out by now that whilst the living story is a great idea they need to leave more permanent content, then there is something seriously wrong.

I just watched the twitch stream, how ON EARTH COULD THEY MAKE ALL THAT AND THE NEW RACE and make it like last for like what, a month?

Becaue they have learned that we’d like our new content more permanent than temporal. They even said so lately.

Yeah, no logic there.

Yea, I know right! I got really excited when they spoke about learning that we’d like more permanent content, and then this.. I just wanna see what’s next.

Also, wouldn’t be suprised if the new movement things are temporary as well, yayayayyayayayayayay. -..-

It’s all a bad joke, if they remove it. I hope arenanet will read what so many people here, on reddit and fansites are complaining about and will make the labyrinthe cliff with the new movement, and the race permanent.

I don’t worry if the ship sails away in a month, because it’s part of the living stoy. BUT DON’T REMOVE THE WHOLE MAP. Until yet the living story felt not living because after each update everything was like before. Where are the changes?

The labyrinthe cliffs and it’s funny activities should stay in the world, so people who liked it can go back again, and in a few month when the next bazaar or other things in living story happen, the map can be used again. but please do not remove because the story part there is just over.

OMG YES!! It makes sense that these people would only stop by for a short while to trade ect, but it doesn’t make sense that we shouldn’t be able to go and ‘trade’ or whatever at the zone anytime through the year.

I have to send in my laptop for repairs under its warranty which could take up to two weeks…Missing out on achievements is fine with me but missing content that rewards exclusive and unique armor/weap/back skins or nodes is reeealy frustrating, especially when a skin finally rolls around that is actually worth getting (for me it was the fervid censer but I missed Secrets of Southsun). One thing I saw that I want to make sure is that people can still earn the quartz node after the event has passed. This gives those who were able to do the meta event a blatant advantage in crafting items that require quartz over those who couldn’t.

I think you’ll find yourself dissapointed, you will only be able to unlock the personal Quartz node in your home instance by completing the meta achievement for this content. Sorry :L

dulfy.1493:

Hi, someone asked Leif Chappelle about this and he said the entire Labyrinthine Cliffs zone is not permanent. Once Zephyr Sanctum departs the zone will be inaccessible until the next time they put something in there and open it up again.

Wow, I was not expecting that, after all their posts about learning from the past and bringing in more permanent content, no, I cannot believe what you said, there is no way they could put so much effort into this just for it to be temporary.

I just watched the twitch stream, how ON EARTH COULD THEY MAKE ALL THAT AND THE NEW COMPETITIVE RACE which is enormously long, and make it like last for like what, a month? Gosh, if that is true then I think I will start losing faith with this game, how could they do that? I cannot fathom it, I just can’t, come on Arenanet, seriously?

Anyway, maybe we will never get new content, with it unlikely that we will get expansions now and even when they do finally create a zone with an enormous kittening race in it, that’s going to be temporary so they can what? Satisfy there hardcore lore fans?

sigh oh well…

Type in /age and cry a little.

so many people kitten, you can’t go back in the past and do all your dailies just because NOW you decide to gather achievement points, didn’t get them, too bad, for the people who did, congratulations, you spent the time, your going to reap the most rewards. Me, I will be entering this patch on a comfortable 5k points, oh and by the way, I like the way it works.

to me this looks more like a cantan city and there was recently an announcement of an expansion. maybe a clue or some bridge ?

expansion? You should read again…

not about the bazar. there were states by ncsoft that an expansion for gw2 is not in the plan. But Arena net and players puled true and the expansion started the developements somewhere in june.

So, when can we see this change?

You must be new here.

Nope, I’m not. It just didn’t sound like a ‘will eventually happen’ kind of fix, more of a will fix it pretty soon. Maybe next patch.

Yep, new here.

Yea well I got an answer, and that is the point of asking a question thank you very much.

What’s this whole 30/30/10 build going around? Can someone please explain it to me/how it works and/or provide a link to a build of it? Thanks.

Firstly I’ll start off by saying we aren’t useless in Fractals of the Mists, quite the opposite in fact. Smoke screen is a amazing utility to carry in the group, as well as Shadow Refuge. Bassy Venom is also very handy for long boss fights, and yea, I’ve never had trouble getting in a fotm groups, nor do I feel like I am useless to my team.

And secondly, what kind of cof groups are you lot trying to get into? Noobs? If they know anything about cof it should be that thieves are welcomes, it is much quicker with 1 thief, even 2 thiefs make it quicker then the whole 4 war 1 mes combo that’s most popular at the moment. Sometimes when I pug cof I do get into arguments with people who say thiefs are bad in cof so I say let me have a run and I prove them wrong and they shut up and apologise.

I have two questions.

A. Is the city a ship? Or is it a actually, ground connected city.
B. Do you guys think we will be permanently able to go here? I myself think Arenanet stupid if they take this away.

sugaredempathy.5683:

The 2 week release is too rushed. I like the monthly releases much better. It does feel rushed to get everything done in 2 weeks, especially for those that work full time.

As someone said earlier, they have four seperate living story teams working on each two week cycle, thus making each event actually have 6 weeks work put into it, not so much of a rush.

Well, when you go on the release page, and right down the bottom you hover over the links to the picture they all say something like ‘kite city’.

What I am really scared about is that this zone will be temporary, I mean, whilst kite city sounds like a city and most of the pictures seem to be located on the ground, Arenanet seem to have a habit of taking stuff out of the game, honestly, if this city is going to look and be as amazing as I think it is, I really hope they leave it in.

“Take part in Sanctum Sprint , a competitive race that will send you leaping over barriers and flying through the air! You’ll need to use cunning, agility, and some special skills to navigate this dizzying obstacle course.”

I would just like to know, is this going to be permanent or just a temporary thing, personally, I can’t see why it can’t be permanent, seeing as (I believe) the new Kite City will be a permanent zone in this game.

Thoughts?

I would rather be rushing to get things done then waiting around for a while with nothing to do, plus, they will probably lower down the requirements for the achievements now with the 2 week cycle so don’t expect it to be like, play 4 hours everyday to get them haha.

Please keep 2 week cycles!!

I am trying to but, I am not really understanding what it is about, someone please help me?

I mean, I get that it’s like a big gathering for traders and stuff, but I don’t get what the plot/problem is, or is this gonna be like dragon bash and start off as a peaceful fun thing and get ruined by some villian again?

Still, I am very curious about the ‘bringing new movement skills’ thing, yayayayya hopefully permanent and not just in the racing thing.

Step 1. Get some friends
Step 2. All make BS thieves
Step 3. Wait till your server is outmanned
Step 4. Run around wildly destroying everyone without taking armor damageDD

I think Tengu as well. They where planned but pulled at the last minute for technical reasons, or so I understand anyway. If the technical reasons have been fixed they will be a playable class. If they can’t be fixed then the areas might open up as NPC only and the races we have available now need to go in and help/stop the tengu.

Tengu class? sounds interesting

time to roll an Asura tengu

I think a Charr tengu would be pretty OP.

Just about the whole ‘no permanent content’ disaster people are rightfully whining about. Here’s what we know so far is changing..

“You’ll see holiday festivals return, but with updates each year to continue to expand the festival experience, provide new rewards, etc. You’ll also see some types of living world content, such as Super Adventure Box, some mini-games, and other types of content that make sense return at various points through-out the year as they are updated as well. And as mentioned earlier, the dungeons people enjoy from our living world release will be researched by the keepers of the Fractals of the Mist and used as way to continue to expand and build on our fractals permanently going forward.
We’ve built out a portfolio of content and experiences we can use and more easily expand on for years to come with our holidays and recurring content, leaving us a larger opportunity in the future to focus time on other projects around those events since we’re not building the festival from scratch. This means as holidays we’ve run in the past approach, you’re more likely to see larger living world projects like permanent updates to existing dungeons, world areas, etc.
We’ll go into more specifics about what we’ve learned from living world releases so far, and where we’re taking them in the future with a blog/video and press tour at the start of July. This should help answer any of the more specific questions about what to expect in the future in regards to the living world in Gw2.”

“Yeah for clarity, we’ll also be working on dungeons outside of the fractals. Sometimes content that makes sense will end up there as a way for us to update our fractals permanently, sometimes we’ll be working on other dungeon content permanently.”

butch.8136:
He said they’re gonna update the dungeons through the living story. As in giving a meaning to the changes.

“Correct! I think some of you are making assumptions that living world means the stuff we’ve done the last few months and that’s all you’re going to see. My point is saying we’ve seen folks feedback and are adjusting that strategy to include a much larger mix of permanent updates going forward.
Dungeons will be part of this strategy, living world teams will be doing work on our permanent dungeons rather than them being ignored, the types of things you’re asking for will be rolled into living world updates to give a reason for them happening in the world. It simply means we’re going to be doing more of exactly what you’re asking for here in this thread, but under the context of a story of why it happens in the world, rather than just magically have it appear (as happened with AC).
Hope that helps a bit, I’m actually agreeing with a lot you, apparently that wasn’t clear enough!
Edited to add: We also plan to do a lot of reward work across the board, including on our dungeons, but we’ll go into more specific detail on that in July as a comprehensive summary.”

Who was the woman behind Flame & Frost?

“As far as the question in the thread title, that remains to be seen, but good on you for catching that.”

So, looks like we will be re-visiting the flame and frost saga, Arenanet have heard our cries and have decided to make much more permanent content which I am very happy about, aaaaand yea, can’t wait for the blog post to see what’s coming.

read it.

EDIT: Deleted smart kitten post as I realised he meant AR = Aetherblade Retreat, makes post make sense.

“Do an evasive leap away from your foe while firing a crippling shot.”

Right now, shortbow sucks as a main hand weapon, it is more of a utility tool for escaping or the occasion cluster bomb/poison field on a point.

Thoughts??

Here is how many times each crafting profession is required if we were to make every single legendary…

Cooking I I I
Jeweler I I I I
Artificer I I I I I
Huntsman I I I I I I
Armormsith I I I I I
Weaponsmith I I I I I I I
Leatherworker I I

Really nothing to complain about..

I’m assuming you mean ‘when’ and not ‘where’.

Anyway, here is the location in Straits of Devastation. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Temple_of_balthazar

danbuter.2314:

How about starting and stickying a new Post-Patch Build thread? Many of these builds no longer work as intended.

And what, do that every time they have a patch? No, some builds still work/need small amount of change and how hard is it to just simply see when the build was posted and know that it was before/after the patch?

I would like this fixed aswelllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Leveling an alt today, just wondering, who the hell came up with the idea to make skritt say in a girly voice “more come, yes?”………………………………………………………

Bartas.4908:

TBH I have no idea now. Some time ago I would suggest some AoE class + Sigil of fire and go farming CS events for Heavy Moldy Bags but now it is pointless. During this event I just run around levelling alts and sell Coffers for some profit.

Clearly ANet does not want us to make a lot of gold by “playing hte game”.

I still laugh a little every time I read this…

We just don’t want players to grind in Guild Wars 2. No one enjoys that. No one finds it fun. – Colin Johanson

It’s doing it again now, seems to be happening at night time for me (I am Australian Eastern Standard Time).

Hi, I was just wondering if there are any other alternatives to making efficient gold other than CoF, please don’t give me the whole ‘just play the game you’ll get gold’ thing because we all know that isn’t very true when compared to the amount you make from farming CoF.

I am a bit sick of farming CoF

This has been going on for a couple nights now, basically, I cannot see any friends online, whisper people, invite people to party, use guild chat, or any chat except map and say chat.

It pops up on my screen saying…

PLEASE HELLLLLLLP

Spoiler!!!!!

They are actively fighting off Destroyer’s attempt to break out into the surface far more north then where we can currently explore. I think this would create for an excellent playable race, they have the racial enemy, a great story line, and don’t tell me there isn’t some sort of magic that can turn them back from stone.

Whilst the idea does intrigue and excite me, the answer is no.

Back when the game released, people (I believe it was gw2db) went through all the gw2.dat files and found everything, all the weapons, armor ect.

But, if there were stuff hidden, that would be awesome, sayyyy, 4 legendaries and you get a ultimate one haha, like the dreamer + the hunter + twilight + the minstrel and you get a rifle that shoots twilight unicorns that sing songs HAHAHAHAHA!

Plunder.8195:

let me add this link too then for completion
http://gw2.junkiesnation.com/2013/05/30/lfg-tool-spvp-map-and-costumes-datamined/

I wonder what the heart and skill symbols are doing in a spvp makitten

o idea haha, bug maybe?

Err sorry guys, I just found this. http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1f80pl/lfg_skyhammer_and_more_in_the_updated_gw2dat/

I don’t know if this has been made before, my apologies, I couldn’t find any topics on it.

Anyway, my friend just showed me this thing he found when you scroll out of the map in Heart of the Mists, a place called skyhammer with 11 hearts and like 6 skillpoints.

OK to all you people complaining about ‘why do people care’ or ‘only a few seconds’ well that is the whole point of it. CoF P1 has sort of become a competition in it’s own right, no one wants any sort of competition to have massive margins between the leader and 2nd place, that takes all the challenge out of it, the same thing applies here ok, so stop kittening about ‘oh only a few seconds difference’ or whatever please, go somewhere else.

You reckon that’s what some of those undo-able achievements are for?

Any ideas? We don’t get any info till the 20th, but the picture seems pretty cool.

Just for all the people posting times, quickest one I’ve seen is my buddy doing a 5:42 run with 1 mes 2 thief 2 war.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOuOmNL4yEY

All the same mistakes espada made last time.

1. You CAN’T use hounds twice. The ENTIRE POINT of speed running is to repeat it. Hounds has a 4 minute cooldown. Using it twice per run requires that there be 8 minutes between each slave driver and 8 minutes between each final boss. Your best possible REPEATABLE time is then an 8 minute run with that setup.
2. Because you are repeating runs, your actual time is from any specific point in 1 run to the exact same point in your 2nd run, not from gate to boss.

OK no, the whole point of the video is to get the quickest run, not multiple runs, or anything ok? THE quickest run.

Just for all the people posting times, quickest one I’ve seen is my buddy doing a 5:42 run with 1 mes 2 thief 2 war.

Sithaco, P/D condition thief.

I sort of feel sorry for Anet, people don’t seem to realise that it’s NCsoft who make these gemstore decisions, not Anet.

Here’s a nice video which really opened my eyes to the situation. I suggest everyone watches it.

woops wrong link, here it is.

I am from straya, afternoons have been pretty bad for lag lately.

I’ll get straight to it, my laptop is crap, and when I play in windowed mode, my FPS is a lot better, but I have to manually adjust the window size, this causes the height and width of the screen to not match each other, do you know what I mean, like, if I made it small, it might be like 850×578 or whatever, where the clearer version would be exactly 800×600.

My question is, is there a way for me to make the game resolution smaller, without having to make my entire laptop’s resolution smaller (by going through graphics options).

Also, I know about going through the graphics options in game and changing res, but it only goes down to like 1045xsomething, any way to make it smaller?

Maybe…or perhaps it’s just a reference to how societies in wartime would reduce huge threats to more ridiculous levels in order to remove fear and raise morale. It’s hard to be afraid of something when you’re laughing at it.

“REDICULOUS!”

Was that a Harry Potter reference by any chance??
