Guild Wars 2

I got it, by using cripple and stuff as I passed through it. XD ..
I didn’t even remember if I had touched 2 other miasma events.

It’s not that hard if people jump (aim for bronze) and run off, Smaller groups can beat this very easy and you don’t have to actually BE there to get the achieve. (like I said do enough for bronze and go away).
These events are not suitable for zerg mentality. I see them fail over and over again when they’re zerged.

Backward Sass.6791:

The constant need to reapply the halo/horns effect is very annoying.

So, it’s just like mini’s then? Not even good enough as a cosmetic >.<’

Surely anet can come up with an “always use” option or something… … less and less interested in this, think I’ll use my heirlooms on bags

I was going to go for horns, but they look soooooo bad ): … the halo could do with being a tiny bit bigger on asura too ):

I’ll likely be going for the halo for my asura mesmer….but idk, it’s tiiiiny. Is there any word on them looking at the design issues with horns/halo?

Does anyone else have trouble getting this to work for players?

I rarely am able to rez down (or ‘dead’) players with this, but have no trouble with NPC’s.

Is there like a time limit of when you can use it on a downed player? Do they have to be ‘dead’ or just downed? (mind, it doesn’t seem to work on either).

Does anyone else have this issue?

I’m not ‘missing’ the player. Because like I said, I have no problem rezzing npc’s with this.

(also the cool down is ridiculously long) making it useless for rezzing players anyway.. but still, I’d like it to work.)

Kumu Honua.2751:

Anet was already told that tying personal reward to other people’s failure without the ability to overcome their failures makes us mad.

Well be happy! You can do MORE than your share of the event to get every single achievement and reward. You aren’t stuck in a platform forced to watch the other people fail. You can finish your duty and go on to do more. You can make up for someone else’s failure..

you can’t really make up for other peoples failure when there are 30-40 afk. It’s nearly impossible to catch up and save enough civs while also having people in events, with nearly 1/4 of people on the map doing nothing at all.

And most didn’t suddenly have rl business to attend to.
They can get free loot so they enter to get free loot, ..they don’t care that they are making it very difficult if not possible for players to get 1200 civ saved.

And this is frustrating.

Galowin.6089:

u don’t need to farm to get blade shards, i’ve done both the zerging and ran a rescue party, did the event maybe 6-7 times and I have bout 1500 blade shards.

Some people are casuals and have limited play time so they will need more days to get enough blade shards. There are also people who want to make multiple backpieces, it all adds up.

Then we also have other reasons why people might zerg as well as my previous post implies.

I’ve played for a whopping total of 2hours since the event came out and already have all the blade shards i’ll need for the Ascended version of the item and I don’t stick with the zerg in the slightest, if too many people show up to an event (champions and elites are only types of mobs) i just leave and continue rescuing Citizens, so your argument is a load of kitten…

^^^^^ this, alot of people don’t seem to realise this at all. It’s very annoying.

I often post asking for civ rescue teams, more times than not I’m ignored, other times I get replies like “I’ll do what I want” .. “YOU go rescue civ’s” … and the very odd time, I get a team to work with.

I also find that people enter overflow and assume it’s impossible for an overflow to complete it. However I’m only ever in overflow and I’ve seen it completed multiple times.

nothing atm lol.. saved nearly 1000 of the stuff XD..probably going for tomb of knowledge though

Seriousely… if you get… well say… 35 heirlooms a day…
Which means for me, that I need at LEAST 3 hours to gather all the spots while totally ignoring events…

I’m sorry what? It takes you 3 HOURS?! What the hell, are you doing it while perma chilled or something? Ignoring events it should only take one round, even on an up level when you have a map.

It takes me 2 rounds, and I only go after 30 rubble… Its takes awhile when you have to solo them. Getting through mobs and dying multiple times….I don’t have a guild that is interested in grinding so, it is slow enough.

All this encourages is people afk in the event, to get ‘free’ bags.

First off all, I’m on a guardian, maybe that is making the change. But I am visiting them all each day and it takes me no more then 30 minutes to get all 40 locations. I do it alone, but also don’t really fight a lot on the way.

Necro.. and I find even with speed boosts I’m not quick enough to avoid some of the mobs, particularly those up towards the diving board

with all these complaints, I’m starting to wonder if I should be bothered grinding heirlooms. I also was considering the horns, but after finding out that they float quite a bit above your head.. yeah meh ….

are you getting skill lag in empty maps too? ..
What about your graphic settings? try setting it to lowest.
________-
actually I’m dealing with awful lag today… compared to yesterday …. its really bad s:

piken square is the unoffocial RP server for EU

but you can pick NA or EU, however if you pick an EU server you can only guest to other EU servers. (temporarily log into them..) And NA can only guest to other NA servers.

You might want consider that, as you may end up wanting to play with someone you know and what not.
I’d look at RP guilds and pick the guild, THEN choose the server based on that guild. //

As to PvE, most classes are fine in PvE. Elementalists can be squishy til lv40 or so/you have the hang of them.
Engineer is considered pretty decent for PvE.
Most of them are fine.

Warrior is the easiest class to play. but can become boring if you learn quickly/want a challenge.

Just pick a class you like most.

I would, but then there’d have to be other easy ways of gaining experience for leveling characters.

But I’d certainly prefer an account bound map..(will never happen, too much loot to reorganise)

SkiTz.4590:

I can’t believe people are actually whining about this lol…

“i want to see party member!”

really? this event is pretty much zerg zerg zerg.
Run around and press 1..

Why on earth do you care about where party members are? they are scattered in this zone. More than likely, they are right next to the commander tags!.

Jesus people complain about such minor things in life these days…I hope anet deletes/ignores this thread completely

Might be one of the most useless suggestions I’ve ever seen made in this forum, and I’ve seen plenty

Why are you so annoyed about it?

I can’t imagine it’s that hard to add a toggle view in options. It’s a simple thing that would clear up the map for some people. It doesn’t bother you? Excellent. But a very small change would be to toggle the view.
And it would be much appreciated by many.

The norn and charr are worst for camera, being much larger than the other races, the same zoom out wont seem like it’s as far, simply because the characters are bigger. (Anet needs a camera that can zoom out as far as people want it to, but sadly they don’t have that.)

If it bothers you alot, you might want to go back to human \:

most people only need a couple of variations. ie dungeon set/ WvW set .. so you really don’t need more than a few characters. Which is how most people manage the trait/armour swapping system.

They’re updating it/changing it. Glory is the main thing in PvP atm, they plan to remove that on March 18 .. so it should be better, however you can use that glory for leveling and such, so it’s not a big deal. Rewards are just different.

Its only needed if people WANT to rally, .. I’d support an off feature.
There’s too many in LA atm, often more than 1 in the same place, it’s quite annoying, and they were blocking my party dots.. making it difficult to find them.

FatalIllusion.3142:

We won’t log in at the same time, and I didn’t read the user agreement before buying the game, so this may be my fault. I just find it a bit uncommon not to let people share their account, assuming that the account owner is aware of all the responsabilities that this kind of actions require.

I’ve never had a game that allows of sharing of an account. because well, thats one less game sold. you also cant play together. And he could end up using the item you place in the account bank and whatnot.

However if he has your account name/password. he should be able to log into guildwars site and choose “permanently allow this IP”. I had a rolling IP and had to do that quite a few times >.<’ .

I don’t think it’s that feasible with millions of players. In millions of servers.

I’m not interested in this, simply because it takes up an item slot… I mean seriously? ..Do they not have a way to add it to your account, like an upgrade or something.

I like rata sum for amenities, so I’ll be going back there I guess.

Sororita.3465:

ability to dye the blue areas please!

I dont think that will ever ahppen, people will end up dying it to match the skin colour, and then imagine the complaints!

Nick.6972:

Alright. I did end up buying the set.
It looks decent, except for the Boots – what are those sharp things supposed to be?
The blue color and effect is nice, but I’m willing to bet I’ll get tired of it rather quickly.

good colouring..like that, the blue no longer looks like skin!

Esya.3427:

Taygus.4571:

Tbf, most of the female armour is “over-sexualised” .. … \=

Do you think the same about a naked male chest? Most things are only over-sexualised if you perceive it as such.

They make the armour look as sexy as possible. More so on the female character than male…..If you’re denying that..we’re playing different games.

Tbf, most of the female armour is “over-sexualised” .. … \=

Brutal Arts.6307:

tl;dr
there needs to be a system where after you buy a gem shop skin you get get unlimited copies of it

I actually think if you buy a skin form the gem shop it should be “saved” at least for the first character you use it on.
I’m not the type to constantly change my armour so I don’t mind too much, but it would be nice to buy more skins and not have to worry about the previous one getting deleted, there by wasting those gems.

Maybe even charge for a “skins box” or something, where you can save your skins. Or in Black Lion Trading, have a place in styles “previous buys”, where you can download it as many times as you like.
This way they don’t have to change the transmutation or add a place for the skins, but …now that I think of this, I guess they’d end up selling less with the above as people could download the same skin on various characters?
(though they’d probably sell more, because people like to be able to change things once an awhile…)

why cant asura have capes? :P…

I’m not against more cultural armour … more choice is always nice. Having it specific to races is extra nice ..because it keeps players looking different.

daimasei.4091:

After 48 days without being able to play and miss 2 updates already (not counting the ones I missed last year), I don’t see the point to do any further LS content.

I missed an entire year of LS, and jumped back in no problem!

It’s not like your reward on the next LS is less because you didnt complete the previous one.
As for the story, there’s plenty of ways to catch up online. If I’m honest, I felt the same as you, then I looked at the achievements and realised it’s ok to jump into the LS at any time, and you won’t feel left behind.
_
At the OP, I really don’t think thats a feasible idea. I just can’t see how that would work. If they solo’d it, they’d have to change alot ..and I think that would just encourage more people to play alone.

It’s only been a couple of hours? You know, people have lives outside of the forums.

I like that the LS is temporary. It’s different. for newer players, it means there isn’t tons of stuff they have to do to catch up.

It keeps things moving, .. I don’t want an expansion, I like how they patch it as it is.

What you’re asking, is for a different game.

When will people realise this?

Commander tags should only be got by public voting. Although most commaders seem to be pretty community aware, theres one or two that are just trolls. I think community voting a person up or done, would be the way to.

When person receives “x” amount votes, they get their tag, they can keep receiving votes/or lose them…

Anyone who bought tags, should simply get their money back.

I don’t know if a voting system would be possible to implement in game.
but a right click on the person “vote as commander: then up or down” .. or maybe only ups, I don’t know.

But I do think this would be a better indicator. Possibly.

The way it is now, is simply “I’ve been in the game so much longer than you and know how to get the best loot/quickest”.

FlamingFoxx.1305:

Because that would negatively impact present map completion.
People ahve already hit 100%, if you add new things in their percentage would go down. So then what happens when they hit 100% again, you can’t give them more gifts of exploration…

The idea is to keep everyone on the same level and keep the achievement consistent – so everyone who has 100% map completion has had to do the same things. There’s always the possibility of new map completion achievements being added on later in the game when more zones are added.

AN can easily add option that players who got the gifts before will not receive them one more.
Old players will have to discover the new maps to get 100% without the gifts as reward
.
New players will have to travel through all maps to get the reward.

So new players, who are already behind in LS, level, experience etc, have to do more work with every update?
sounds fair ………………………………………………………………

This
“Not because you think it will give you better luck but because you cannot stand the thought of doing it any other way. If you tried to leave that left over crystal in your bag you’d be unable to stop thinking about it, even after logging off and going to do something else”.

I make sure I have an even number of things to forge, ( as in 4 or 8, never 6 or 10 XD..) before I go to the forge, or it feel ..awkward.

I dont have any rituals that I think might make me luckier with it though …>.>.

Do ye also run around world bosses/bow to them before they spawn in the hope of getting better loot?

EU or NA .. :p

Um, can’t guest between NA/EU ..and you’re in NA ..): ..ah well, I’m sure others will make good of your friendly offer

Ceridwen.6703:

In Age of Conan, all the “personal story” quests were (and may well still be) solo only. Even the epic last dungeon, where you bring a god down, is a solo venture. I recall having the opposite argument – please, I just want to take one other person in with me! Just one!

I absolutely would love having Arah SM soloable. I actually think all dungeon story instances should have a solo variant. I mean, any time I’ve done story dungeons, I never see any story as there’s always rushing ahead. At least in a solo instance, I’m not held up, or holding up, anyone else, and the story content can then be fully enjoyed.

lfg ~want to watch story~ .. there.

My guild does story mode with anyone new, no bother.. and we just wait/let them enjoy the cut scenes.
In fact I got “boo’d” for not watching it :P .. (I find the story incredibly boring).

Find a similar friendly guild, …it doesn’t need to be rushed. You just need to find a group who wants to watch it/doesn’t mind waiting.

What server ? time..?

What jp’s?

:)

auto fire/select your weapon skill 1 , then choose in options to stop firing when target changes(because it can be annoying if it doesnt ).

You should no longer have a problem with loot OR keeping up with your party to support.

FlamingFoxx.1305:

@Taygus, if TheOneNOnly is looking for a laptop I assume they have good reason for doing so. Most people looking for a laptop specifically need one for the portability.

Most people don’t need to game on the go. and often don’t.

I know students who have laptops for uni, and a gaming desktop, because you get much more out of it, for less than a laptop.

You’d be surprised how many people don’t think about having the two. He already has a laptop, mentioned it’s old but not broken. Said he was getting the next for the game. I mentioned desktop, because I’m used to people not even considering one. That’s all.

You’d get more bang for your buck, going with a desktop.

You can place GW2 on an external Harddrive and ask if you can try out on some laptops in shops. Decide then.

If you could save for an I7, I’d advise that. (would be a little bit more expensive, but it’s quad core. and GW2 seems to push the cpu to it’s limits.)

I missed the entire LS cept this months, …
It’s grand, you can join in, and have a blast, you ain’t missing much in “story” terms. This game is less role play and more “achievements”/missions. Some people find the story interesting, most seem to ignore it.

Many enjoy the game and totally ignore the Living story.

I showed my friend the activities a couple of weeks ago. And was really disappointed when I found out we weren’t in the same instance. …

I enjoy the other activities, sprint being my favourite. I take part in all of them BUT this one!
I tried it today, and just could not get the hang of it. (I don’t think it helps that you’re on a team, with people you don’t even have a chance to say “hi” to. ).

And the lag! ..I only experience similar lag in LA.

I do hope they expand on the mini games, ..they are fun and have alot of potential

finally found one, just in case anyone else is searching. and comes across this.

*Caledeon
*Kessex hills
*Bloodtide
*Lornars Pass
*Diessa Plateau

can someone list 5 maps with probes? I’m running around like a lunatic trying to find a 5th map with some. ):.

(maps < level 60 please.)

I know of Caledeon/Kessex/Bloodtide/Lornars Pass … just need 1 more.

Tried doing it in WvW, but I need an extra player to help take them down, and no wants to there.

Jeff Nyman.6314:

This is actually the one reason that I don’t play this game any further and have pretty much given up on it. I check back in regularly just in case this has changed.

I realize that this may seem like a silly reason for me to not play a game I paid for. But I’ve heard numerous people who do play the game regularly tell me that it can be hard to find people who want to do this again and the last thing I want to do is waste a bunch of time leveling a character just to find it takes me a long time to do the last quest because I have to group. (I have limited game time as it, with kids and a job, so anything I perceive may block that — even if down the road — tends to put me off.)

I’m not sure why the developers (or a representative) won’t at least comment on this in a substantive way. If it’s never going to happen, I suppose they can just say that so the topic stops coming up. (On the other hand, I suppose their silence may, in fact, be indication of that.)

Anyway, the suggestion of the OP has my support as well as that of others.

Actually it doesn’t take that long, join a friendly guild, they’ll be willing to replay the story mode.
And as someone mention above it roles as a daily, which makes it much easier to PuG.

I agree with you on the personal story.

I’m no longer interested in it and just skip to the end, story only feels different if you play a different race.
and the voices aren’t different either. (a high-mid-low frequency choice on the voice in character select would be a small difference, but it would help.)

I randomly pick options and don’t really care, I feel no ‘role’ with my character. she has no personality because the choice/actions don’t matter at all. Its boring really.
__
I do like the idea of bosses dropping more unique rewards. Even armours sets of similar stats/(or less..idk) to ascended, but name them ..for example Teq armour. Or something connected to each boss. .. I think it would encouraged more people for the bosses, if they could get specific armour sets from the bosses. “boss orientated armour XD ..”

My necro is my main.

I’ll want my thief for dungeons, and my mesmer for jumping puzzles.
I have a ranger and I had camped for power cores xD.. I’ll camp her elsewhere for something else.

Eventually I’ll probably have more characters with different builds.

XxTAFxX.6741:

Impossible to do this now as no one wants to do it.
It would be better to start as we we mean to go on and able to solo it like the other story modes.

I have many chars that needs to complete it,but i have better things to do with my time than stand around for hours trying to find ppl only to join then leave 5 mins later because they cannot wait for more ppl.
It would not hurt the game if we could solo it tbh,it’s stupid to do all that work only to but stuck on the last hurtle.
it feels like i’v been punished because i done most of the story mode only to be stuck on the last story.

For groups we have the dungeons where you get different paths,difficulty much harder also armour tokens and other rewards.
Also players only want to do that part anyway.

Join a guild who will help- there are a few., PuG on map.

I still know many players who want/need to do it. But most are unwilling to ask people to joint them.
Go into players helping players here, state if you’re NA/EU and ask for a group. (If LFG in game hasn’t been any help to you.)

I just ask on map "champ at skill point near …. WP " help please.

If no one answers there, i go to LA, and ask if someone would tag a champ with me in “x” map.
(This is of course before my guild, who’s always ready to tag along. )

It doesn’t require you to be friends with the person you’re tagging with, just ask on map and get someone to join you, there are many players willing.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/Looking-for-fellow-players/first#post3640244

another player looking for people.

Aurora Glade (EU) is still taking part in it. (With overflows, which I’d suggest to stay on, as they seem to do better/less lag. )

However, the constant fail puts alot of people off. They really should make it easier or something if there’s been “x” amount fails. It’s very frustrating.

And to have the whole thing fail because of one lane.. maybe should allow 3/5 = pass .. something, I don’t know really.

I want to add, that I actually quite enjoy it. (Despite instant death, more often than not.)
