Guild Wars 2

Kal Spiro.9745:

I no longer have it available without buying a new character slot. That’s not to say I won’t do so in the future. Because of that I would really like to be able to gradually upgrade the item. I would even go so far as to use all six tiers of mats, each tier upgrading it to a new level range.

+1’d that as well because I REALLY like that idea! Hope something like this eventually finds its way into the game. It’d be nice to see the ring retain its value and importance through the entire game =)

Thurnis Haley.4978:

Make everyone a part of a commander’s “squad” show up as dots on the mini-map. This would provide another function for the commander icon, and while it’s 100 gold, I would be willing to pay that if it meant being able to have everyone connected

Wait I thought that’s what a squad did already…?

It’d be nice if just like the HoM stone, there was an NPC to give you the ring once you’ve deleted it from a character – though i really approve of Kal’s suggestion. Make it upgradable as you progress through the game – maybe every 10 levels it can undergo an upgrade somehow through the mystic forge.

From there, at level 80, it could, like you said, use a similar recipe to become first exotic, then ascended, then infused later on. I really like the sound of this. +1 to the OP so this gets more recognition.

Topic was successfully changed. Hopefully this will give people a better understanding of what I’m requesting.

Even though the new name doesn’t reflect it anymore, I am still also open to the idea of the new smoke effects from Lord Taeres’s Shadow as an alternative to the GW1 effect – though the GW1 effect is preferred.

The movement system is based on momentum. You strafe to the right then suddenly stop your character will sort of stutter and need to regain their balance. I love the way movement and positioning are handled in this game compared to other games.

Psycho Robot.7835:

Am I posting in a real honest to god [iR]™ thread? Its not a knockoff or anything? Wow.

What’s [iR] and why is it important? I see a few threads with [iR] in the title and have no idea whakittens importance is.

NinjaEd.3946:

Imo, there is too much being asked in this thread about various topics. Should narrow them down and mabye you woulnd’t need to bump them.

Pretty much this. IMO I’d say do various threads about the various topics.
-WvW
-PvE
-Rangers
etc. etc…

Also it seems that you listed a lot of great things and great changes for the general game, but you only ever touched on the Ranger profession and no other ones.

khani.4786:

Please give us the ability to see:
Last time logged on
Last time repped
% of rep time

It would be nice to be able to see what guild a member is repping when they’re not repping our guild too.

Agreed on all points.

khani.4786:

Either this or have the message of the day appear in the chat box once someone logs in. Gw1 did this and it was quite helpful.

This is what I’d like to see. As it stands, nobody cares about the MOTD or reads it because it’s in a spot where nobody just sees it when they log in.

I hate having announcements that go unseen because people don’t check the guild roster every day. It’d also be nice if when you edited said MOTD you didn’t have to start from scratch. Oh you made a typo in your MOTD? You’re typing the whole thing again….

It’d be nice to be able to get Officers and Leaders this functionality. I hate having to pop commander or have someone else pop commander when we’re doing guild bounties or other events.

I hate when I see commander tags in PvE (especially Lions Arch) so I hate being part of the problem when we do missions. It’d be nice to have just a tag for leaders or officers to serve the same purpose, but not feel like we’re “showing off” PvE commander or the ability to spend 100g.

Need to be more specific. My character movement seems fine.

Go ahead if you think it’ll add more clarification to this suggestion

I bet people who breeze by the OP post still think the main problem between the Fellblade and Lord Taeres’ Shadow is the purple design instead of the effects around the blade of Lord Taeres’ Shadow, despite the bold edit.

Well considering I made that edit 2 days into the posts life and people still post about it I’d say so. Any extra clarification I can add as bold text may prove beneficial.

Can you edit the title? Or if not, ask a mod to edit it for you?

What would be a more suitable title? I can request it right away if you think there’s a better title for this thread than the current one.

Maybe ‘Please Make gw2 Fellblade the same appearance as gw1 Fellblade’.
Or something similar. The same affect sounds like you want the purple runes also, which seems to be causing some confusion. Saying you want the same appearance as the gw1 blade may stop people thinking we are asking for something extra rather than what they said they would give us.

That’s a good point. How would I go about requesting that a mod change the name of the thread to be more appropriate?

Of course while the name you suggested sounds better all in all, it does eliminate the idea that the new smoke effect from the 1 hander would work for me as well. But I think that’s a sacrifice I’d be willing to make since that info is in the OP (even though as we’ve seen, people don’t seem to want to read even that lol).

Black Dragon.3784:

I understand, in fact I was disappointed too but then again, you have to think about all the cool skins that GS have bacause of all the attension they are getting from anet e.g volcanus. Think about other weapons like daggers which do not really get any cool or new good skins because they are getting less attention. So I would not really mind if anet do nothing to the fell blade since you already have a variety of cool skins

I don’t use these over-sized, anime greatswords that we keep getting. In fact I only have 1 character that uses greatswords at all. The thread isn’t about whether or not weapons are getting as many cool skins as they deserve for each weapon class – this is about a weapon that was not done justice it should have been done for the GW2 version.

For the record I do agree with those that say there aren’t enough cool dagger skins. Take a look at Stakitten , rifles, and pistols too. I’ve been leveling a thief and can’t express my distaste for all the dagger skins. Even the ones from HoM are barely tolerable. But that’s another thread. I’d like to keep on track about the Fellblades in this one =)

Nay of the Ether.8913:

We been trying to say this the whole time…

Haha that + the picture is amazing. Yeah it’s frustrating but at least he eventually got it =)

I like WoodenPotatoes as much as the next guy but can we stop getting this video linked in every single thread? >_<

JustTrogdor.7892:

I believe an LFG tool is in the works. Not sure of the ETA though.

They said it’s been through several internal beta tests and will be out before the end of the year.

Every game that has a “world” chat that can broadcast chat throughout the entire game world usually ends up being used for more than just its intended purpose such as spamming, trading, what have you.

Not to mention since every server would be linked, you’d not be able to read a single line of that chat since it’d always be flowing.

Except this isn’t really a new idea. This was a potential new player class for GW1 before Utopia was scrapped. I’m personally glad they scrapped this profession because it doesn’t sound that great in my opinion.

There’s already enough in this game that is steering it away from Fantasy RPG and this would only continue down that road.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Chronomancer#Professions
Reference. I’d prefer if the OP included this somewhere so that people aren’t thinking this is some new idea or original thought.

I’d say no simply because consumables are already being exploited in PvE / WvW and this would do nothing but make those exploits easier on the user.

Jovel with your permission I’d like to use some quotes from your recent post(s) and stick em up in the OP for more clarification. Let me know if that’s cool with you and I’ll be sure to include some when I add more details to the OP if you’re ok with that.

I thought that’s what squads essentially were? 30 person parties that commanders were able to lead?

What happened to those?

1-handed sword that’s what I meant. Yeah I hear ya. I think it’s just a problem with the attacks themselves because the animations are all LEAPY LEAPY about em.

JustTrogdor.7892:

You should check out this thread and post your thoughts there.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/The-Cantha-Thread/first

As he posted, check out the thread. It’s great and I check it every day. No, what I meant is that there are still plenty of regions we were able to explore in Tyria in GW1 that still aren’t currently available in GW2 such as the Ring of Fire, the rest of Maguuma, Far Shiverpeaks, Charr Homelands, some of Ascalon, some of the southern “shiverpeaks”, Crystal Desert, and Isles of Janthir.

I’d guess that once the regions are fully fleshed out and Tyria is lively and has expanded further, they’ll start considering Cantha and/or Elona.

Ahhhhh ok. I think one of the ranger Greatsword skills does this. Now I know what you’re referring to.

Krispers.5217:

Big Tower.5423:

Anet has stated that they will NOT add mounts, there has been thousands of treads asking for this from anet, they have said, NO! pay respect to that.

Care to link that quote? All I have been able to ever find was them saying the game would not have mounts at launch.

Lots of people complain or say they would ruin the game, but I have yet to see a single reason that could not be easily fixed or was beyond “WoW had mounts, so I hate mounts.”

They’ve said this several times. They added waypoints and movement speed increases for a reason. There’s no point to cluttering the screen even further by adding useless mounts.

Oh look this thread. Ok.. I’ll post the same response I post in every mount thread.
Clears throat
Ahem…

No.

I know that there’s only a few moves that will root you in place – and they’re meant to. Flurry, 100b, etc. etc. They are supposed to be high payoff for high risk (high dmg vs rooted).

Also I don’t want people jumping around me like in WoW and attacking me. I like the way that you can’t attack while in the air.

There’s already a 30 something page on the topic. ArenaNet knows we want Cantha. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time. They need to flesh out Tyria first.

LoneWolfie.1852:

Now this post has information that I didn’t know. Thank you for the clear insight and pointing out the differences between the dragon swords, and explaining that the Lord Taeres’s shadow is using a Fellblade’s model (I merely thought they looked similar and kept thinking that Taeres’s is a new weapon and HoM users wanted that.).

I now agree that the Fellblade in GW2 compared to the Fellblade in GW1 is indeed lacking (after the detailed explanation), and with the explanation and rationale given by the above poster, believe that the current Fellblade should have all particles removed, and given the effect of “Moving shadows” back in GW1.

PS: I would just still like to point out that there the Fellblade complaints most likely didn’t exist, at least I could not find it through google.

Wolf, I assure you I’ve made the complaints before. Especially back in beta I had a thread about it with the same concerns. Now that there is reference material I am using something to compare to it.

I’m glad he was able to clear things up for you because that’s the kind of information I was trying to relay to you but because of your reception to myself and others I was being short because I was getting frustrated.

Jovel, thanks again for your excellent post. You said what I’ve been trying to get across and I thank you for taking the time to do so. Again, great post and I’m sure that’ll clear a lot of things up for others with similar concerns as Wolf.

I’m glad this is back on track and I may use some of the earlier misunderstanding to edit the original post to make it sound more clear (if it wasn’t clear enough). Though I thought for sure after proof-reading it and adding the videos the point would have been made clear. :S

The bar was set too high in GW1. Nothing I’ve seen in GW2 so far leads me to believe that the stories will ever come close to the quality that GW1 was.

No no I know don’t get me wrong I’m just saying people usually grab the torches and pitchforks when they see those words strung together in that way despite how many valid points are before it. Even if the word “might” is included.

I agree with your post, I hate the fact that the game has turned into mindless zerging of PvE / PvP content and “earn the most gold possible by exploiting content that was released to be fun – not gold pinatas”

However you’re going to lose a lot of support and credibility (and people won’t take your post seriously) with this comment in it.

if things stay the way they are, I might quit GW2.

The “I quit” or “I’m gonna quit if____” threads are very unpopular here and generally just attract trolls. But aside from that I do agree with your post in its entirety. Though I don’t think Precursors should be cheaper – there just needs to be more ways of obtaining them which Anet has already said is on the way.

Orpheal, Anet is not in a neutral position and if you think they are I’d like you to search the subject a bit more because they’ve very openly said that there won’t be mounts since there’s waypoint travel and mounts are trivial and pointless.

You can say my points are bullkitten if you want but they’ve more than once said “no” to this. I’m not sure why this far into the game people are still asking for them. They don’t make sense. Also imagine the rage when Asura’s get cool mounts too small for Charr or Norn to use and then everyone starts QQ threads on how Asura’s have the best mounts and how they want the same mount for their race.

I can already see it happening. I’m not misinterpreting anything and I encourage you to do some fact checking.

It really isn’t funny. People on my server make it a point to flat out troll and laugh at the low level characters that try to scramble to get hits on the champs before they’re dead. It’s pathetic.

Yep the first thing I mention in the 2nd video where I show the HoM fellblade vs the new 1h is that the icon is a bit messed up and turns super lame (plain) once you transmute it to another sword.

I would definitely love to see that changed if nothing else.

I posted a video about this in another thread related to the fellblade overall appearance. I agree this needs to be looked at.,

Does nobody play this game for fun? Is everyone in it to get your meta achievements day 1 and figure out the best way to exploit the newest event for as much personal gain as possible?

I don’t know it just seems sad seeing that people are farming the same boss over and over and over for hours and hours on end to make money instead of actually do fun things in the game.

For those of you sitting there farming Deadeye or Ragemaw or whatever the current best exploitable gold pinata is, are you actually having fun? I’m legitimately curious to hear the answer. I guess I’m just missing the point.

They need to deliver what was promised. Make us feel like we’re that level once we’re down-scaled. I hate being able to 2 shot everything in starter zones at level 80 when a fresh made level 1 takes several attacks to destroy a mob its own level.

Agreed. I know they said that Mursaat would eventually be back to GW2 (citation needed, and hopefully someone can find what I’m referring to) but they never said when or how. I’m just thinking this would be an appropriate tie-in to ascended weapons and armor by introducing something that needs ascended gear to defeat.

Maybe just wishful thinking on my part.

Over the shoulder would be sweet for female Norns.

People of Tyria create a pact to destroy dragons. These pacts contain Tyrians of all races, sizes, beliefs and backgrounds.. Why on earth would they fight each other especially after banding together to defeat elder dragons?

And remember, they even say at the end of the personal story that many more dragons remain and their job is far from over.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

all right i viewed them.

but i like the barely noticeable smoke effect.

Fair enough. Thanks for your input =) I do like some plain swords myself like the Longsword from GW1 which also returned as a 2hander. I think for the Fellblade though we need the original effect or at least one not so dull for such an iconic weapon.

Again thank you for your input!

The living story will likely progress to eventually go where an expansion would have.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

“requesting either the new smoke effect from the 1 handers or the GW1 effect to be reimplemented on to GW2 Fellblades”

you said you wanted smoke effects.

for me, there are already some smoke effects on the fell blade great sword.
that is enough for me.

I invite you to watch the 2nd video I posted in the OP. I run on ultra settings with 90+ FPS and you can clearly the extent of the smoke that’s currently on it (or better said: lack of smoke)

And with that reply, I am done with you. So say what you want in reply I’m not going to bother reading it because you’ve already derailed this thread enough.

Deimos,
Care to elaborate some more? I’m not asking for the Fellblades from HoM to be made purple or shiny in any way.

You keep saying “You haven’t lifted a finger in GW2”. Ok try this one out. My main is a dual sword warrior dual-wielding Jormag’s Breath and the Fiery Dragon Sword. Guess what? I farmed for that sword for weeks. I earned it. I lifted many fingers to get it.

Not only that, but I play this game every day, have almost 8k achievement points (showing you that I obviously play the game and the living story events), and have 9 level 80s with 3 more on the way.

So please tell me more about how I’m entitled and don’t lift a finger in GW2. Because that’s obviously so relevant to me requesting that a sword animation (From a GW1 sword) be updated to reflect the original sword from GW1.

Don’t mention the fact that on top of my GW2 achievements and play time, I spent the better part of 7 years (over 4k hours total in-game time) to earn 50/50 in my HoM. Not that that has anything to do with GW2 – but Anet said we’d be rewarded and they rewarded us. So stop calling us entitled when we didn’t ASK for anything, they were being generous and rewarded loyal players. So before you continue to repeat yourself saying that we are entitled, greedy, and don’t earn anything, why not take a second to ask yourself and really think… “Do I know a single thing about the people I’m flaming here?”

Can’t wait to hear what kind of reply you give. Needless to say it will have the words ‘greed’ & ‘entitlement’.

Reading a few of the threads around here got me thinking a bit. In GW1 to fight the Mursaat you must have had your armor infused to be able to stand their Spectral Agony. Now we’ve been given the information that ascended weapons and armor are going to make their way into the game at some point.

Could this potentially bring either A) Mursaat to the game with an emphasis on ascended / infused armor & weapons?
or Everything I just mentioned in A as a sort of “end game” content people have been asking for?

Am I reading too much into this or do you guys think this is possible / plausible?

Does anyone have a link to this page the OP refers to? I couldn’t find it. I’m not a reddit person so I don’t know how to navigate it.

Searry.6120:

i wouldn’t mind seeing the fellblade look more like the one in GW

Thanks for the support Searry =)
