Guild Wars 2

IIRC a Sword and a dagger with Shiro’s sword skin was datamined a while back.
Now I don’t remember if it was only a sword and not a dagger,but this pretty much confirms Revenants will use one handed sword (and maybe dagger)

Found it:
http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/gw2-hot-weapons.jpg

I think they will use Sword (main) and dagger (off hand) instead of sword (main/off hand) so they can say revenant uses more weapons AND they would still look like Shiro because of double katanas

Hopefully we succeed to defend it this time.

I hope the Thief exclusive armor isn’t an Assassins Creed hood again,we already have enough (Grenth’s,the Reaper one,Phantom Hood,Thief starter hood…)

Also I agree that the Engineer helm dont fit. Especially because of the long gap between the head and the chest,the neck is totally exposed…I don’tk now why,but I think it just looks…wrong.

Ranger is called Druid,it has been confirmed for some time now.
Tempest is also confirmed by the way. iirc they showed it on Stream.

Commando…I think it will stay as a joke profession forever,like Minstrel. The Mesmer spec could very well be Minstrel but I think they would never do it because it is already seen as a joke profession and (I’m speaking for me with this) I would never take it seriously lol

@Ontopic

I don’t think anyone will mix with Revenant because it is new.
Now,I would guess Revenant is going to be mixed with Elementalist or Necromancer (but the Summoning part of Necromancer,not Wells,since Mesmer already got them)

I doubt it lol

We still need a lot of reveals (remaining Specs),some story fillers,the new event thing (Adventures ?) etc…

I’d say November 2015 being optimist. December 2015 is my guess.

I would like the wings as a backpiece,but exclusive to people who get the spec and it’s skin isn’t added to the wardrobe. Or at least not for the whole account,just for the character.

Why you ask? Because it would be silly to see everyone running around with Dragonhunter’s Wings while the Dragonhunter can’t use Reaper’s scythe for example.

Keep the new armor piece for specs unique for their classes,like in Guild Wars 1.

My main is Guardian,so I consider Dragonhunter the best for now.

But I will of course try out the Warrior spec,Druid and Thief spec.

I also like to play Engineer because it is fun,but unfortunately the spec is going to use Hammer,and I don’t like Hammers so much because of the low attack speed (but their skins are great and I use them from time to time on my Warrior just for fun)

It’s as if people are immature.

It’s as if people are genuinely displeased and bitter about the name.

People being “displeased and bitter” over a name really shows maturity.

Meh,the dragonslayer joke posts are everywhere,this isn’t even funny anymore. You come to see some speculation about the class and all you get is people making fun of the name because of Dragonhunter.

I prefer big events like the VW event in SW,it does have some kind of coordination and I can join everytime I want,and If I have to leave I’m not hurting anyone

We don’t even know if Druids are getting a new armor…

At least Dragonhunter didn’t…

Every elite gets 1 armor skin (head/shoulders/gloves depending) and a weapon skin.
- Chrono got shoulders and shield.
- Dragonhunter got Dragon gloves and a dragon-themed long bow.

Really?
I thought the whole Chronomancer armor was new…

Well,anyway,if the elite only gets 1 piece of armor and a weapon skin then Druid’s Armor is still out of question. lol

We don’t even know if Druids are getting a new armor…

At least Dragonhunter didn’t…

Valkyrie is a cool name? Yes. Definitely.
Does it suits the class? Nope.

Also,I think I’ve never seen Valkyrie used as class name. Mainly because Valkyries are female,so if a game actually let you create a Valkyrie,it must be one of those games where the class is gender restricted.

Like 5 months ago you didn’t even expected you could “advance” (not really advance,just another having a choice) to another class,and now you will stop playing that said class because the specialization isn’t what you wanted?

Like…wow.

No, I will stop playing it because it is insulting. 6 months ago I wouldn’t have expected a ranged option on a Guardian, tho I did want one. Then they teased us with the art with a bow on it, and then they showed us… a useless support bow.

Well,okay then.

Good luck on your new main.

I would wait till they release all the specializations or you may have to find a new one again.

@Edit

I mean,the specialization NAME . Even worse than not wanting the spec because it “sucks” or “isnt the king of DPS” or “dont fit the game” is not wanting it simply because of the name.

This is the kind of event where you can see who really mains Guardian.
The ones who really love guardians will keep playing guardians,the ones who like guardians and also try new things will get Dragonhunter and keep the Guardian.
The ones who were in just for the lootstick are jumping out of the bandwagon right now.

I mean,protecting someone by jumping in front of then with your wings and then raising a magical shield to protect them…Can this get more Guardian-y? I don’t think so.

Bring on the Dragonhunter!

If Dragonhunter doesnt fit,what about Valkyrie?

Do you guys even know what they are? All I know about them is that they are from Norse mythology,FEMALE beings that choose who may live or die in battle and that they bring the ones who have fallen in battle to train in Valhalla.

See? I can’t see any resemblance with the Dragonhunter. Not to mention that this name is very feminine

Also,I’ve seen someone complaining about “Dragonhunter” being a bad name because there is no such profession as a “dragonhunter” because there are no dragons in real life…

Welp,sorry to burst that bubble but this isn’t real life,this is Guild Wars and the world is Tyria,not Earth. And dragons are actually a thing.

Also,Chronomancer doesnt exists because as far as I know,there are no humans that can manipulate time.

People are acting like they are -FORCED- to change from Guardian > Dragonhunter and it is driving me insane already…ugh.

Maybe I should take a break from the forums lol.

Also,I’m sure a lot of people here don’t even main Guardian and are complaining just to jump in the bandwagon,and I’m 100% sure they will forget about it next week when the next specialization is revealed,and then they will start to complain about the next one…and so on.

People are going nuts over a name,really?
If you don’t like traps or the way the specialization goes,thats okay,some people really don’t like certain playstyles.

But they have a choice: Keep playing guardian and don’t change to Dragonhunter. Simple as that.

But getting salty over a name is just ridiculous.
Its not that you are playing the name,you are playing the character. Also,I don’t recall any ingame dialogue to call you by your profession/class.

The only time where you see your own class is on login,when creating a character or when you press H.

Sauncho.8076:

I guess my problem is I didn’t main a Guardian to play like a Ranger. If I wanted to play like a Ranger, then I would have main’d a Ranger.

We shall see how it pans out though…I still hate the name though.

Except you can still play your guardian…?
Just don’t get the spec lol

You guys must at least watch the video before you say something about the name.

It is a trapper.
He is a hunter.

“Zealot”,“Paragon” and the likes dont fit him. Dragonhunter is perfect.

Oohh,by the way,a really cool name for it would be Magick Archer,like in Dragon’s Dogma

But I guess it wouldn’t fit because Magick is actually a thing in Dragon’s Dogma,while it means nothing in Tyria.

WINGSS,YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Name: Ehh okay I guess,BETTER than Paragon,for sure.
Armor: Really?
Weapon: Really? (2)

The new Virtue of Resolve is so cool!
I’ll use that no matter what,even if this new spec deals 0 damage,I’ll be camping on longbow for now.

Nothing is more guardian-y than jumping in front of your allies protecting them with your wings…kitten ,I cant wait!!!

kitten ,would pay 1000 gems for a Mini Unicorn.

Why this Shortbow vs Longbow discussion is still going on?

It is obviously a Longbow,it was shown in the new WvW trailer some time ago…a Charr Guardian was using a Pearl Longbow,this is obviously Azureflame or the summoned Longbow.

By the way,Mesmer’s elite spec got a new weapon skin (Shield with cogs/clocks on it). I wonder if Guardian’s elite spec will not get a new weapon skin because it already exists. (Azureflame/Aether skin)

Would be unfair depending on how you get it.

Like,if the shield skin and chronomancer armor is unlocked when you unlock the elite spec,I doubt guardians will get a “free” Azureflame skin.
That would cause so much rage because the skin is very expensive right now,and if ArenaNet create another bow exactly like Azureflame and name it something else for the exclusive Guardian Elite Spec weapon,I can see the flame going full force on the forums.

I think ArenaNet made a mistake releasing the teaser with that weapon skin. Unless they say it was just a spirit bow and the actual new weapon skin is something else completly different.

Ehhh
The armor is less glorious thant I thought it would be.

Mesmer is still winning.

Also,I doubt there will be a new bow,this is just Azureflame

PS: But I’m still excited ,also,wings!!!

Hope it is called anything but Paragon,please.

What’s wong with classic prof names?

Because Paragons reminds me of skirts,and less “Paladin-ish” than Guardian currently is.

I would like it be called something more divine or royal-ish,especially because of the wings and the spirit bow.

I suppose this armor is new too…?

kitten,can’t wait to see Guardian’s spec armor,the mesmer one looks AMAZING!

Renshu.5329:

Hey! Glad to have another player in the Wastes with us. If you’re not looking to do a hard DPS, offensive role and prefer to roam around —especially with a Comm tag-- try my build I call the Silverwastes Savior!

Wooow,thanks!

I actually do have clerics gear in my inventory too (I bought when my Guardian hit lv80,but people kept complaining about it not being zerkers lol,so I bought zerker and kept my exotic clerics gear just in case)

I like the Signet of Mercy tip,I’ll try your build tonight,since at night I feel like there are more people online,I can test this cleric build without sacrificing too much dps.

Thanks for the time you took to write all this,I did read all of it so it was not in vain :P

Okay,thank you guys,much appreaciated!

I’ll try GS – Sword/Focus for now,but I’ll be sure to try torch too,I kinda like it.

Can’t wait for the expansion too,excited for Longbow!

Hey!

So,I’m pretty hyped for the beta and I just got back to the game after…what? 6~7 months? (because I had to,unfortunately)

And I was wondering what would be a good weapon combination (not asking for precise builds etc…) for Silverwastes?

I was thinking,since there is no mob drop,you get chests from event it seems,Staff isn’t really NEEDED like it is in every other zone for farming.

I was wondering what is everyone using for guardians right now,also,I guess zerker is good on this map,right? or something more tank-y is needed?

Thanks in advance!

Silvercyclone.1462:

The devs have stated the real world time is equal to game time. Last I checked you can’t build a whole city in a year.

Well…Japan did,after the (2011?) Earthquake + Tsunami

And Lions Arch is pretty small tbh. I hope they rebuild it in HoT,the broken waypoint bothers me the most…ughh

Hopefully by the time Revenant comes out, more faces, hair and armors will be available too. As for Snow, your Serah will be lonely without him

Ta dah! Making it ‘Snow’.

Snow’s “cap” is a hairstyle or just a headgear ?
I don’t think ive seen it before

Someone once posted a pic of Itzels and Snoop Dogg,I just cannot unsee it now.
Everytime I look at them I can see Snoop Dogg’s face.

Needless to say they already have my respect!

Because the hat counts as a brand new hair and not just an accessory,that is what I think.

So when you put on a hat you are actually changing your character’s hairstyle and the one you are using is replaced with that one with the hat (none = bald)

They can live up to it, if they couldn’t, Balthazar wouldn’t be so good then.
…and seriously people, stop it with whining about outfits, it’s really getting annoying. Some don’t like outfits, some (including me) love them.

lol chill, nobody is “whining” about it. Im glad you like them, so do I, but think about it, if they were armor then you would still be able to use them as a full set (outfit as it currently stands) and as matching armors (for the rest of us), and everybody is happy

On another note; Im waiting for the Lyssa armor now

Dwayna armor,just yes…yes,yes yes,thousand times YESSSSSSSSSS

Just do it ArenaNet!

I’m sure it will look awesome if they make it,better than the Dervish avatar in GW1,with more glow and stuff!

I just want teapot back,either for Revenant or Guardians (because spirits)

Best headgear WORLD

So…the new precursors will look like a less detailed legendary weapon?
I wonder how The Legend,Dawn and Dusk will look like

Do we really need this kind of thread everyday?

I don’t know why people care so much about NPCs lol
I could have a random NPC tag along with me all day and I wouldn’t mind a little bit.

I doubt Evon could have defended Lions Arch against Scarlet.
He is not stronger than Kiel,and I also think he looks a bit like a coward,I bet he would hide his TP Goods and run away,while ordering someone to defeat Scarlet.

There was nothing Kiel could do against the attack,it was a much stronger force…while she is just a ordinary human ,just because she was elected doesnt mean she got super powers!

You can’t even JUMP in Guild Wars 1.
All you need to do is spam 1 while your heroes do the work with splinter weapon,minions,death nova,putrid bile,etc…

I don’t get how more “challenging” GW1 combat was,it was okay,but definitely not challenging. If you had the 7 heroes (or even only 3) party,you could just roll through missions.
Even resses were almost instantaneous (and some were really instantaneous) and you could do it from afar.

Yes,it was fun,but GW2 is 1000x better. (it was good for the time it was released)

Drarnor Kunoram.5180:

The worst part was during the first October where they had Flux effects in PvP. You load into a PvP outpost only to have bone horrors start attacking you. You couldn’t fight back, because you were in an outpost. When you inevitably died, a new minion would be born to continue the assault on other innocent players.

All because someone got Dhuumbanned.

Lol this is hilarious.

If I understand correctly the Flux at time was you spawning a Bone Horror on death?
And since someone got banned the Bone Horror actually spawned in an outpost?

lol I would love to see that on video

Your wish is my command. ^^ (it doesn’t show the guy getting Dhuumed, but it shows the minions killing all the people standing afk in the PvP lobby)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxSJpsNK38w

lol!!!
I miss the GW1 minions,they were funny.

By the way,I think something like Dhuum ban in Guild Wars 2 would be easily doable,because we already have finishers,it is basically the same thing.
I guess they could make something like “Trigger X finisher on ban” and ta-da! We have Dhuum ban back.

At least Archeage did one thing right,and that is the glider.
Just AWESOME,unfortunately the game is…weird…for me at least. It feels way less fluid than GW2,even GW1 has better movement imo.

Oh,Mounts are also another + to Archeage,they are very,hm,“realistic”,the horses are very similar to the ones in Red Dead Redemption (which FOCUSED on horses),for a game that the focus isn’t horses,they did an amazing job.

We should have a Ritualist in there.

Maybe Xandra or Razah

What actually Ventari does? Did we even see him fighting?
My guess would be a support legend.

Hybarf Tics.2048:

May the 15th at 9 AM, E.ST.

Very specific,I think this is legit!

Randulf.7614:

The core game spoiled us for maps. Whatever we get will always seem low in comparison.

True.
I think we all should accept it,no expansion will ever have that many maps like the core game have.

Unless they release a HYPER MEGA ULTRA Expansion like Nightfall and Factions,which were stand alone games,not actually an expansion.

It would basically be Guild Wars 2.1. – Elona / Cantha Version

Remember,GW:EN was an Expansion,and to be honest it didn’t have 1/3 of the maps released in Nightfall and Factions,which I repeat,they were not expansions,but basically a stand alone games ,so the need of having a whole new continent and not just 5~8 maps

One thing that would make the HoT bosses more insteresting would be if they didnt have a fixed spot to spawn,but rather fly around until he decides to wreck havoc on people and the boss fight start.

Like Skyrim,make it so the wyvern will keep flying around the whole map and he can land just everywhere on the map,it would make a fun hunting game.

I would love to hunt a boss,imagine if he lands on a very weird place,that part of the map that no one goes,etc…

Reminds me of Silkroad,where unique monsters (aka Bosses) would spawn at certain hours,but they had various spawn spots,not just one,and when the warning about their appearances was announced,everyone would search for them in those spots etc…Way better than a fixed spot on the map.

It may not be released WITH the expansion,but by the logic,every Maguuma Jungle area/map released after HoT WILL require HoT,so…

The expansion may be released with only 3~4 maps,but every new map (from Maguuma jungle) after that will require the expansion,thus expanding the expansion (huh)

I would love if they removed the Guardian Shield skills (and replace them with something useful in PvE)

Also,I wish Warrior sword wasnt a condition damage weapon,such a waste of stats on a Warrior. (imo)

I kind of wanted Sword to be more of a brutal weapon,but I think I played too much Shadow of Mordor,so…
