Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure I understand your first sentence.. But, I’m working towards a legendary too. I was lucky enough to get a precursor from the Karka event (Dawn) and sell it to buy The Colossus with about 80g left over. I never even dreamed of having more than 30g at one time, and even so, I still feel so far away from my legendary. I feel like I will never have it, and it’s super discouraging.

Orr is still profitable for me, I found a group of maybe 10 people farming last night. People might come back after Fractals dies down a bit.

I’m fine with it the way it is, it doesn’t make or break a fight. But Zoul, could you explain why it’s fair? Cause, if we could put 2 sigils on a 2h weapon, I’d be for that.

Makes perfect sense! I was too distraught to think that. Now I feel like such a fool.

Iruwen.3164:

“Our goal is to ensure we have a proper progression for players from exotic up to legendary without a massive jump in reward between the two. "

They really said that? What did they mean by jump? Because the jump between exotic and Legendary is ginormous, if they mean obtaining it.

I guess that makes sense, it should say “Soulbound” when you make any changes then, cause it still says “Soulbound on use,” a minor fix. I’m sure ANet has more important things to worry about right now.

Steely Phil.3952:

That’s true. I voted ‘dislike very much’ for exactly this reason. I actually have no problem with a one time event that rewards those who make it with an extra cut scene or a piece of town clothing. I usually don’t attend, but I don’t feel like I’m being punished for not going. 300g worth of swag is an issue though.

I dunno about town clothing, maybe some sort of Karka themed skin for a weapon, or something cool.

If they do continue doing this precursor thing though, it’d have to happen in a way that gives everyone a chance. Although, a 1 time event, that happens ONCE, with high rewards, is a real cool concept. Personally, I’d be fine with how they did it, if there wasn’t awful lag and a million disconnects.

Having such a rare item be a reward at a 1 time event isn’t a bad thing, precursors are already incredibly rare. Had there not be an event, those of us that didn’t get one from it would still be in the same position.

So I am in favor of ANet continuing with this type of high reward chance in 1 time events. I am not in favor of the lag from hell. Please have the servers ready next time ANet

Bought a set of armor for my friend and put runes in it only to find that I cannot mail them to him, or sell them on the tradepost. But they don’t say “soulbound,” like my other soulbound items. It still says “Soulbound on use” and I didn’t equip them.

So what’s up with that?

Danikat.8537:

Minor point but if you couldn’t use it until reserved names were freed up that mean it really was reserved. However unlikely it seems at least one person did want the same name as you.

As for name changes they haven’t said anything but I assume it will be available at some point, probably through the gem store.

HNNNNGGGG. Whoever reserved it then didn’t use it was a jerk!

Rata Sum is second most usefull, it’s small and all the crafts and banks are close together, it’s a much nicer place to craft than LA or any other city, LA is just the central city.

I doubt they’ll make the other cities a more go to place, because it’ll require them to redo some things to make people want to go (rearranging where crafts are to make them closer and more convenient like Rata Sum for example), and chat channels are only specific to the area, LFGing for dungeon runs would take longer because people will be more spread out.

Looks like it went from 2/3s to 4ish S, I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s sky rocketing.

On the head start, a name I used in every BWE was “reserved,” but I don’t think it really was. Because it was a first and last name I’m sure no one would use unless they saw me in game with it and liked it. So I named my character the same name, with one extra letter.

Now that reserved names are available, I made another character real quick to see if my original name was there, and I was able to use it. I know that if ANet does decide to do this, it’ll be low priority compared to other things, but it would be nice.

Screenshot it, cause I’ve done that a dozen times and I don’t make clones of my engineer.

I’ve been getting by with how it is now, but it does seem weird that our weapons don’t effect our kits.

You say Engineer needs a buff, OP?

I got an 80 Engineer and Mesmer, working on Warrior and Thief now. So far I can’t figure out how to out DPS my engi. Now, with burst I can, but the grenade kit, 1600 yards, 1000+ damage per nade. Plus all the elixirs, that “Immortal Engineer” build, I’ve been getting by quite fine.

But if ANet wants to make them even better I won’t complain.

YESSSS. GW2 has so much potential for various pvp modes, I hope we get something like this.

I was doing a run of Sorrows Embrace (path 1), and got to the boss, fought the boss with my party, and when it was at 5% health, I disconnected. My internet had a hiccup, I disconnected for less than a minute, and when I returned I wasn’t able to claim my reward, for beating 99.9% of the dungeon.

I am most sad, something should be done though to prevent this from happening in the future? Maybe if you’re in a party, and they beat a dungeon, you have a bit of time to go back in and claim your prize? Only if you were in the party before the dungeon finished though, to prevent people from just inviting people after they beat one?

edit: Now I did path 3 and got 20 tokens, but I didn’t even get my 60 tokens with my previous run. This is not a good night.

The Medium Cultural armor for all the races is bleh.

If I was a heavy or light wearing, for the look, I’d get them.

I remember Shadowstepping sorta worked like that in the betas, but it was a different mechanic, people were using it to get on top of walls and through gates in WvW, so they really limited what you could do with it.

Giving them the rocket jump mechanic, with a few tweaks would work. And Teleporting is instant, Rocket Jumping takes a second cause you see yourself travel through the air, I’m sure ANet could remedy that for teleports by making it an instant, really fast jump so it still appears to be as fast as teleports are now?

I want more, harder jump puzzles.

But please ANet, give us better loot. Doesn’t have to be THE BEST, but, better would be nice.

Does anyone know what the Quip or Predator does that’s so special?

As an Asuran Engineer, it would seem like a waste to get a dinky little legendary gun. Unless it shoots out nukes.

Something should be done for Engineers, maybe Legendary Kit Skins or, SOMETHING.

I think that’s awesome. I’m an Engineer, and sometimes I bump into the super huge burst thief or warrior, and it leaves me in awe. They’re real glassy though, interrupt them at the start and you have them, and they’re not too useful in large scale battles.

It would make me sad if ANet nerfed those thieves.

I cannot find the NPC in Iron Marches, I spent 2 hours looking around, and there has been no official note of the NPC being removed, which is quite annoying.

There should be incredibly hard events that not many can succeed at, or tournaments of some sort in PvE that award players Legendaries, or the items needed to make them.

I wish I just saved my skill points for the Legendary I probably won’t get anyway.

Golems really aren’t worth it. Attack Golem seems to be the best, 30sp for the Defensive one is nonsense.

I like the seperate health pool idea, cause this skill is utterly useless. But Obfuscate makes a good point with Asuran Necros exploiting it.

I hope they add more weapons to existing classes. Some sort of melee weapon for Engineer would be amazing (besides wrench kit).

But on topic, another pet class, like a summoner would be neat, and a fist fighter like a monk.

Yes please fix this, sometimes I can look through objects, and sometimes I can’t. Or it’ll be a really tiny little ledge ruining everything for me.

It seems silly that I cannot teleport with my Mesmer, over a gap that I could jump over. It’s the same with thieves. What if the mechanic worked like the Engineer Rocket jump, but just make the character invisible during the animation, so it looks like a teleport?

We should remove all players from WvW.

Wait, you can logout to avoid dying? When I do it, I log in later to find my character dead.

I see no problem with 2.

And with 3, I half agree with you, but that shouldn’t always be the case, cause it’d just be tank and spank with dodging, if one guy holds aggro. I actually like how some enemies attack certain characters FOREVER, or just decide they don’t like the other guy hanging out behind him that isn’t necessarily dishing out that much damage. Sometimes I find a champion in Orr that’ll chase me for the whole fight, and there is no way I can break aggro until it kills me, I like that.

Yeah, I havent been in Orr for over 48 hours, then the first thing I do when I login is start the Lyssa chain in Malchor’s Leap, by the end of just that chain it felt like the DR hit me hard, I was seeing nothing but Porous Bones.

I’d like this. For the longest time shields are just boring wooden things, changing the color would be something everyone would appreciate I think, and then players can show off their cool dyes even moreso.

I hate being an engineer that doesn’t use swords or magic! Let me use them! And while you’re at it, I’d like to have Mesmer portals too!

Warriors seem to have better burst dps than thief, at least in my experience when a Warrior kills me rather than a thief. I’ve had some Warriors in PvP down me in literally a second, takes a bit longer for a thief.

I think this is going to be the game I play for the rest of my life. I look forward to many expansions.

I love the look of Sorrows Embrace’s dungeon armor, for light and heavy, but the ears stick out of the medium helmets, and the bandana thing goes through my ears, it also looks like there is no hole in the helmet and my hears just ‘stick through’

Was this intended? Or.. Can it be fixed? Later? I know you’re busy ANet, this is just a cosmetic/graphical thing that can wait, but it would be nice.

Orr is alright.

But I was really expecting a more threatening, crystalline, fantasy-esque environment. I can almost smell the rotting fish when I play in there, I feel like this is a junkyard of bodies, and trashed lobster parts from behind Red Lobster.

It seems to only happen to me in Orr, only when I’m fighting giants..

Yeah.. I was thinking about that, I can make exotics and get dungeon armor sets sooner than I can afford T3 cultural armor, 100+ gold. Waaaaaay too much. I understand it should be expensive, and it wouldn’t be good if everything was really easy to get, but the armor isn’t even that good.

Yeah, I have never had this much trouble finding a group in any game, ever.

Technically ANet stayed true to their word when they said we “won’t spend hours looking for healers and tanks to do dungeons,” but it’s worse now cause I’m spending hours looking for ANYONE. And most of my nights end with me doing nothing, after waiting for a few hours. It’s nonsense.

We NEED a dungeon party finder thing.

You’re not alone.

Here in the Isle of Janthir server, NO ONE can get into CoF, I tried it with 3 different parties and see everyone else /shouting and crying about it (I was crying too). I also tried SE a bazillion times. I haven’t tested any other cause those are the only 2 I want to do right now, in explorable. It’s real annoying cause it’s been doing this (at least for me) for a few days now.

I heard TA was working though.

I like this idea.

I’m not the biggest fan of Orr either, and I didn’t know what diminishing returns even was until last night when my friend told me about it :/

I’ve been having this problem for a while, tried SE and CoF with 3 different groups, and we tried it all. Other people in those areas are experiencing the same, but people in Lion’s Arch tell me TA is working.

That’s like saying Burger King should sell Big Macs. If you want a Big Mac, go to McDonalds.

Yeah, as much as I would like this, I don’t think ANet will ever do it, DKP said why.

Oh wow 500 really? I was just wondering, I didn’t know the cap, thought it might be a bit annoying to be part of 5 different “LFG” guilds if the guild size was small (but I’d do it anyway).

But yeah I’m down, my character name is Zenelly. And when I’m invited I’ll spread the word

I like this idea. How many people can be in one guild? If this works out I could see there being quite a few of these, “Party Finder 2” 3, 4, and so on.

Sorrows Embrace, Citadel of Flame, I can’t get in. I’ve tried it with various parties, tried relogging, remaking parties, logging into other characters, restarting the client, jumping a lot in front of the dungeon. Nothing.

Not only is it incredibly difficult to find parties for dungeons (especially SE it seems like), but now when I find a party I can’t even do the dungeon. I’m spending most of my nights waiting to do nothing, then logging off.

I thought ANet said “gone are the days of LFG and needing healers and tanks,” or something along those lines. That’s a bit deceptive, cause the days of spending hours looking for healers and tanks is gone, but the days of LFG, for ANYone, for hours, is still here. But I digress, that’s not even the issue here, dungeons are not working for me, or for any one else I see around them.

Huh, I’ve been playing just fine with a standard mouse.
