Lots and lots of good threads.
Last thread I considered interesting that was closed was this one https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Good-luck-everyone/page/2#post4536494
Also there where a few reactions added in an old thread a few days ago. When I checked later all those post where deleted to berry that thread again. While there was nothing wrong with those comments.
But that doesn’t really matter. I just said that as example to show that ‘offensive’ is personal. That is why you can’t expect somebody to get banned for saying something you consider offensive. Likely somebody else will be offensed because of that ban so what about that person? Kitten him?
Hi everyone,
Since this thread couldn’t stay constructive, we’ll now close it.
Thank you for your understanding.
What’s there hard to understand?
I see plenty of such threads being closed and majority of them have been closed because of one single reason – lack of constructive feedback and flaming/raging.
There are forum rules, there is common sense, there are moderators who keep a check on threads to not let them get out of the hand.
Blame people who turn such threads into flame zone and lure trolls and people who seek carnage.
They do their job properly and if they’ll make a mistake, which may happen because they’re living beings after all, then send a ticket to support and ask them for clean up and open desired thread.
If you believe that Gw2 Forum Moderators are rude and whatsoever then go to other games forums and see how people are treated there, where you’re allowed to leave only positive and constructive feedback.

I find moderators closing perfectly good threads offensive.
What good threads have been closed?
I’ve yet to see mods going tw@t mode.

I liked the capes in Guild Wars, especially since the art and animation teams got such a fluid “flow” to the fabric. (Actually, other game designers asked how it was done, back in the day!)
I imagine there would be challenges in incorporating capes, and naturally a cape would cover some of the armor pieces, which is a drawback when you’ve worked hard to get the whole “look” going on. As mentioned, it was brought up in the CDI, so that’s good.
Paradox — I’m curious. Why do you say “no capes?”
How will they work?
As toggle on/off in Character menu or skin of back item?

The N Bomb, **gger, most people in America consider to be a very offensive racial slur. The filter isn’t really the point.
Fun Fact:
When a white dood calls black dood, black, then white dood is racist, facist, kitten.
When a black dood picks up and flames white dood, it’s called argument.
Racism term is used in every single given situation, mostly because people cannot understand it.
The N Bomb.
Nuke Bomb, Nitro Bomb.
Racism became so overused that it’s more for controlling people and situations.
Welcome to USA.

There is a block list for a reason. And did you fall in love with him, that when he’s green in your block list, then it makes you check that tab window every 2 mins?
So my question is – was he flaming a specific nation, culture?
Because I kind of find it funny how you overuse racism term, when you describe that guy who simply troll flamed only.

Raise lvl cap:
- new exotics
- new legendaries
- new ascended
- new 80+ zone
Question is: for what?
It’s waste of time and resources to do that. Making people level up to 90? 100? Majority of veterans have many unused Tomes of Knowledge.
That would set people on rage regarding legendaries and ascended gear.
Would require to add many new crating mats, new Tier etc.
It’s better if they’ll focus on new maps, new content alone.
We don’t need Korean mindset here.

It’s not about Boss DPS.
Exotic chest along with big one is for dpsing teq.
Yellow, Green are for defending Batteries.
To get Yellow chest you need to have at least 1 Gold medal for Defending phase.
And better not get bronze.
There is no dps requirement since damage scales differently depending on class.
I sometimes go as Condi Necro with staff and Get full time Gold medals while killing and dpsing much lower than my Warrior which wipes everything like an avalanche.
I would say it depends how much XP you get from kills, and that’s how Medal Event contribution is scaled probably.

The GW1 system was designed for a completely different game with a completely different type of “average player” playing it.
This system we have now – both stat-wise and skill-wise is designed to be as “dummy proof” as possible so terribly bad people can still perform and don’t drop the game.
That’s the short answer.
Pretty much this. It’s amazing how dumb-down games have become in such a relatively short amount of time.
why dumb-down?
Can I assume that smart games provide 9999 skills, 999 foods and drinks, 999999 other items and allow top gaming sets to be fully utilized and full time own those with basic keyboard and mouse?
Is it dumb down also that everyone have access to endgame gear and are gear and stat wise on pair with everyone else?
you know. I’d like more of such dumb games.
I really do.

GW2 is a good game but not a good MMO.MMOs must have big longivite which GW2 is lacking.
you certainly strive for griders like majority if not all Korean games.
Just because GW2 is also casual friendly, doesn’t mean it’s not an mmo.
OP, i would agree with you 100% in a heartbeat if was possible to me to just erase from my head all the outstanding & fantastic memories i have from GW1!!
In some way i wish i could…seriously!I used to say: Please call this game something like “Tyria Online”, but never GW2!!
by far I don’t understand ol’ Gw1 players who for past 2 years and further try to compare Gw2 with Gw1.
What’s the point really?
Has been already stated, that Gw2 has it’s own mechanics, way of evolving etc.
Is it that hard to accept?
For me – not.

Hmmm…
If future updates are going to be directed mostly toward China version, then I can only ask Anet to release GW2 in South Korea and go full time Korean Grind Style.
Exactly what NCSoft is best at.

I feel sorry for the “Pug” that has been invited to OP’s group because they as “guild” cannot kill Spider Queen.
One for another, I kind of enjoy total randoms who did AC at least 3 times and more or less understood it’s mechanics.
Oh, even after boosting Queen, I did make it duo and trio with some friends.
No one wiped.
And we’re not some super uber best elitist YOLO w/e.
cheers

Happy Ending written on the floor in rainy day.
I have an idea for making Zhaitan a world boss which spawn once a week with good battle system, but I’m sure Anet isn’t interested in reconstructing something that’s already dead.He is risen so he come back to life again. (jk) it would be on hell of a mess to fight him again, defiantly on world boss scale.
I don’t know about you but I never saw the body :P
So bring it on ANet!five people vs one dragon yea..
you’re fighting one in story mode….alone.
Well technically you were fighting with the proto-Pack and the Claw Island soldiers… lore wise at least.
I did say it many times on forums that Zhaitan doesn’t look as if he’s dying. He just falls down from tower and what happens next? Well, did anyone bother to even check down what happened to him?
Mystery~
Also, when you’re retaking Claw Island you’re fighting alone Risen dragon like Tequatl The Sunless.
And his name is Brightghast the Plaguebringer.
What’s more funny, out of 3 Dragon World bosses only The Shatterer looks like he’s dying because he’s exploding and shattering in the sky while trying to flee.
Tequatl The Sunless falls back to sea and looks like swimming away while losing bit of his tail.
Claw of Jormag looks like he’s falling to sea and yet there is no remain of his body after defeat.
There are loads of other stuff that only stretch their hands and ask for additional story to make it follow.
Since Anet is now working on Raid system, I hope they’ll finish stuff of the past or at least think about adding them in the future as an unexpected event.
But like I said, I have an idea for Zhaitan’s final battle which would end as it’s death or send to slumber.
But I kind of dunno if there is a point of wasting time on writing it down since Anet doesn’t even show a cent of care regarding that specific content.

My idea was for 300+ man raid.
But like I said, I’m kind of sure that they’re not interested in making this happen since Zhatian’s case is closed xD

I see no reason to make something easier for people who don’t want to learn Combos.
Either people learn them and do stuff faster, or don’t learn and struggle.

If you in this 2 years they have been slowly buffing healing specs. A sigil that stacks up to +12.5% healing, a rune that gives 10%, traits like aquatic benevolence… I dont see how crit healing would be a problem, since most classes with healing power have low crit chance and in most cases no investment in crit dmg. The crit would only work on allies not yourself celestial ele would be the same in 1v1.
This change would’t result in a clasic holy trinity, actually that is impossible without having a decent aggro system. Even if that was created it wouldn’t be better than zerker. So I dont see why are people scared of healing lol.
Marvelous idea to turn Ele into Clerics.
10k+ healing aoe shots every 10 sec per party.
Lovely~

Scarlet has been dead for a while now, yet we still have Caithe chasing Scarlet’s shadow in TA. Wouldn’t hurt to turn Aetherpath into a Fractal and restore TA to a dungeon with three proper paths instead of two paths and a massive pain in the donkey.
Zhaitan is dead and we’re still hunting him in Arah.
Galeron is dead(twice) and he’s still trying to become a god.
Aetherblades are disbanded and they’re still in EotM.
Rytlock is supposed to be MIA but he’s still sitting in Black Citadel.
:D
Did I ever tell you, the definition, of Insanity?
Yes, let’s add it.
So Elementalists can heal even up to 15k with crit like no tomorrow.

How is it proper when a person that is ‘just learning’ to play this game and the micro-minimal population shares an interest, so they initiate a LFG to find others to only be kicked because of lack of efficient performance or proper answer if questioned?? Lets flip that formula…what do you know, the same result…THIS IS MORE ABOUT THEM NOT YOU…
It is SICKENING that you people insist that your ‘self entitlement’ to be in any party you pop into is directly proportional to the entitlement with the ability of ‘logging in’…
you people probably believe you have the right to drive…
Maybe you haven’t noticed, saw or even realized but there are also plenty of LFG groups that share a notice like
“First timers”
Also, it doesn’t hurt if you’re first timer and say so or ask if you can tag and learn.
I have no problem if someone who’s joining my party will say openly that he’s first timer.
Problem is when people keep silent and you wipe, because everyone expect party to be experienced and know what to do and when to do. Meanwhile, if party is notified that there is someone inexperienced, someone will tell what to do and when in party chat.
I hardly meet people who feel hurt if they’ll spend 30 seconds more on one Path of Dungeon.

Thief is in a decent spot atm that’s probably why there weren’t to many changes.
Do you play thief? There are so many things broken about thief and almost all the other things are not viable (never were or not anymore). The only things that remain for tpvp are d/p power build since s/d is almost a joke now but even these meta builds camp with tons of bugs related to steals and teleports.
Like what is broken and how?
So far about fixing this and that build I find it that people simply struggle with using them, since there are those people who use builds like Venom and are quite good with them.

There is a need for Party Leader to be able to be kicked off the party.
Gw2 party system is actually the best so far I’ve seen in games.
When party leader is stupid, and rest is fine, then why not kick him instead of everyone leaving?
Did I ever tell you, the definition, of Insanity?
Let’s balance thief:
- increase attack speed of Dagger’s Auto Attack by 50%
- increase duration of evade on Death Blossom by 100%
- increase duration of stun effect of Basilisk Venom by 200%
- increase base HP by 5 000
- decrease Reveal debuff by 50%
- increase base Initiative amount by 5
- decrease Heartseeker initiative consumption by 2
- Shadow Refuge will stack Stealth for 5 mins

It would probably bring in even more revenue than it currently is. There’s a reason why Tera, Rift, Swtor, Archeage, are doing well with population numbers, and that’s because it’s free.
.
Can I laugh?
Trion rekt Rift to the point that load of old playerbase simply left with memory that Rift was once a great game.
Tera is losing playerbase on daily basis. They have server merges once every 6 months at least.
When was Archeage launched? Few servers that obviously were capped in no time + release hype. What’s more, majority of my friends and guild mates simply checked it and came back, complaining that it’s a waste of time.
Also, you don’t understand the basis of F2P model.
People mainly disagree with that model not because there will be bots farming around or couple of spammers maybe.
Because F2P model doesn’t bring only thing thing together.
Like I have said already, learn what F2P model really is first.
Did I ever tell you, the definition, of Insanity?
Idea is pretty much bad.
Reasons are simple:
WvW
- you can tell what people wear and either you run away from them before engaging in combat or you can go all out on them because you know there is nothing that would prevent you from it, i.e. their passives and skills are on cooldown so you’ll rush all out
- you can tell if someone is on condi spec or power spec
- you can tell the build: either zerk, bunker etc
- you can tell when to time your specific skills in order to not trigger certain passives
PvP Arena
- ability to tell opponent’s group member builds and focus them from the squishiest up to bunker
- ability to tell what build someone has
- ability to know what defensive abilities are on cooldown which bring enormous advantage
It gives too much free space for experienced players which they already have. Experienced players have knowledge and experience, but if they can tell such things as build and spec of opponent because they see it from afar, then it’s an issue for newcomers. It also can cripple people who are more of surprise attack mode, instead of direct confrontation.
Example
- knowing that full zerk + burst setup ranger/thief is around already makes you alarmed and prepared i.e. you expect them to jump from any side.
How is it now - mostly you see someone who run in some other way and you don’t expect him to run around a rock, fort or camp just to backstab you.
Leave it as it is
- ability to adapt to opponent’s build is a proof of knowledge gained by the time spent on pvping other players and learning each class skill set and trait set
- pvp is supposed to be a challenge
- if such visual effect will be enabled, there is no point any longer in censoring names and disabling cross server communication in WvW/EotM
Summary
Things are good as they are now, working as intended.
Such indicator would be a tool which would turn into waiting until someone’s certain ability will hit cooldown. Fights would become dull even between experienced players.
Unknown vs Unknown is the best pvp experience.
…idea isn’t exactly that bad
- such visual indicator could be rather used upon activation of passive abilities
- such indicator could be used as visual for people who use Signets and gain passive abilities from them – there is no harm since you see clearly what kind of signets are active – Signet of Rage has little burnt effect when is on Passive
- such indicator could be used for already casted Mantras – another no harm, since effect is visible when targeted
- such indicator wouldn’t cause harm for every passive ability being shown on bar such as Signets passives or Opening Strike
- I would give some kind of visual indicator to all WvW participants who are below level 80 and wander around only to catch PoIs, Vistas and Skill Points

Dude. gold seller?
this free player cant even wear exotic. their gear just that cheap 12 silvers items. their full set not even get 2 golds.
in the long run, this will attract more players. because they can experience the awesomeness of gw2.
players has desire for power. they will bought the game

I have a poverty-related question, and this thread seems a good fit for it. Perhaps a kind soul could help me.
I have accumulated all sort of PvE craap while doing PvP during these past two years, and some of it is totally obscure to me. For instance, I have quite a few laurels. Is there some way I could turn those into money? Serious question, please don’t hate – I have zero clue whether this stuff is of any value. Why Anet keeps pushing PvE stuff as a PvP reward escapes me. I won’t suddenly convert to a PvE’er, that’s for sure.
Anyhoo, thoughts, experiences?
sell pve stuff to broker?
With laurels you can buy designs and craft ascended armor/weapons, for skins maybe.
Or other stuff.
Check Laurel Merchant and decide.

Major problem(or not) of Gw2:
- Player is given a game full of attractions and stuff that makes you say that 24hour day is not enough for all of it. A game that doesn’t tell you what you have to do. A game where player decides what he wants to do, what he’ll do, and how he’ll do it. Player has acquired an ability to choose and decide what’s his next goal in game.
OP reminds me of those Korean MMO grinders, who cannot play games that do not enforce and show a goal that one does have to reach. Including frequent patches that right before he’ll reach a goal he’ll have a new one.
I call those games
- Sisyphean labours
