Guild Wars 2

I’ve got a better suggestion for ranger make the pet optional that’s the reason I don’t play mine pet is freaking stupid I would have one as my main but I can’t stand the pet I loved my GW1 ranger because I wasn’t FORCED to use a pet it was optional idc if you leave it to only ranger just give us the freaking option to kill it forever if we want I play DnD and rangers are not FORCED to have some sort of animal companion you can have some but it’s merely someone who lives off the forest respectful of it of course but my god I hate pets! I wanted to make a ranger tengu but I probably wont for that simple fact of pet required

Maybe, but TC is getting their teeth kicked in by SoR as I type…

You have to figure in the 3rd server, SoS. If TC is in T1, a 190 PPT isn’t THAT bad, because the other 2 servers are still in the mid to high 200s. SoR is beating TC ‘bad’ because for TC to stay close it has to hold and protect not only TC’s assets but SoS’s assets which is hard to do.

For TC specifically, it will come down to the match-ups in which they get throw in with T1 servers. They should be guaranteed a 2nd place finish and 3 points if paired up like they are now and would have to work to prevent a 3rd place finish and 1 point if paired with 2 of the 3 T1 servers. Salvaging 3 points from match ups where they are put with a T1 server and demolishing all other match-ups (like they should) will put them ahead of whatever T1 server loses the “T1” match-up.

tldr – if TC finishes 2nd in any match-up with T1 servers, and wins all other (which they should) they will have a good chance to finish 1-3 overall. There is always going to be a T1 server that loses (1 pt) in that match-up and by finishing in 2nd, they gain 2 points on them.

That catch here is that all 12 servers will face one another. So it will not be the T1 servers fighting each other all the time. It is going to come down more to coverage me thinks.

you make me laugh jq commander comes down to coverage? as i said in my other post the top roughly 7 or 8 servers have untold amounts of people so it doesnt come down to coverage for any of u specially the top 3 it’s just can I zerg ball hard enough to make the other worlds give up that is all you noobs do I solo 2 or 3 of ur people with no heals almost every time ur only deadly in ur zerg ie all the time because your roam teams are 10 people roaming on yaks is solo gg anet u shafted everyone not in the top 3 for league 1if yaks doesnt fall down to 13 b4 this season 1 starts I won’t be doing wvw ever again until we face an actual balanced world

If you aren’t on JQ, SOR, or BG then a PvE’ers wont make a lick of difference in WvW or the leagues….

what you say is untrue I hope those overpopulated servers get a bunch of pve noobs in WvW so it’s not such a freaking zerg fest I’m from yaks bend and DB is like that the top 7 or 8 worlds are OVER POPULATED and there will be so many that will transfer to them just for the rewards because numbers = win skill has nothing to do with it until you start getting down to 11-16 the ones below that are rather underpopulated so its kind of unfair to them but looks like yaks bend is going to get shafted because we are at 11 and 1-12 are league 1 and 13-24 are league 2 meaning we get stuck against the worlds that have QQ’rs on forums becuase they can’t get into WvW because of que and all bl’s being full of their people. I speak on my own here but i think its sad when unless we have our entire zerg in our bl against db we have the outmanned buff

My main has Canthan ancestry. Would love to have her running around, exploring the land her forefathers called home.

This ^ also honestly if we never get cantha I will stop playing it is my one hope I didnt start with gw1 prophecies I started with cantha most of my time is in cantha after I completed the other games I went to cantha that’s where I hung out and farmed when I didnt go fow or uw it litterally sold the game to me I disliked elona and tyria the only thing elona had that I wanted was torm weapons that’s it the rest of my fav things came from UW and cantha with like 3 armors total from eotn and proph honestly they will lose players either way with or without cantha I for one have put more money in the game than I care to say and the anet support team knows this because they had to lift my spending limit 6 times in one week where i exceeded the MONTHLY spending limit which is somewhere over $300 can’t remember where or it might have been $300 question is do they want to lose out on 1800 a month from me and others like me (each) or on the others? not trying to be racist but people in my build got hacked by chineese gold farmers that sell gold for rl money ie taking from the company.

Wonder if there is a title at 10K deaths…..thanks Tribulation mode!

That’s awesome!

I’ve been racking up my death count thanks to SAB tribulation mode as well. I went from 750 odd deaths over 2k hours to over 3100. Ninety Nine percent of these new deaths (2350 deaths) were thanks to Tribulation mode. W2Z2 was the largest culprit and W2Z3 was the next largest death tally. I figure that I’ll rack up another 2k+deaths by the time Super Adventure Box is done.

This I forgot about I finished w1 trib and without a guide hehe you make a few slight mistakes I think getting all the shops and bee hives solo was a bad idea now that I look back on it either way finally broke down after w1z1 trib and no more baubles or continue coins and said hello ICC for warrior don’t want to think about w2 trib

might be late to the party and reviving thread but

80 guardian – 175 hours – 405 deaths
80 Warrior – 466 hours – 1194 deaths

haha I die a lot

also limit it to at most 3 weapons that can be grand mastered maybe only 2 (i say 3 because some do use a 2h weapon and then maybe sword shield or axe mace but that might be too much specially if at 50 it ends up adding around 200 to the more demanding purpose of the weapon like sword being able to tag those little muscles and tendons to cripple or bleed the enemy making precision its primary etc.

Edit: example for grandmaster when the game was just talked about and we had beta I had at first thought we ONLY get 2 crafting disciplines and it would require trading with other players to get the other aspects that our characters needed. I would like to see this with weapons so that it is limited you must actually choose your preferred weapon that you wish to be the best with where using the others you fall a bit short. this would encourage making alts of different race but same class or maybe exactly the same to be able to obtain peak performance with certain weapons

Not sure why you thought otherwise

I honestly didn’t hold any definite speculative viewpoint on the subject until an official response could come about; I didn’t want to fall into the same speculation trap that a lot of people here did and start making wild claims that could end up being false.

I know what I hoped would come about, and I’m glad it did, but I didn’t want to be all like “yeah, they’re definitely not gonna add a gear treadmill” when everyone else is shouting “zomg they’re adding a gear treadmill” here on the forums, because what if I ended up being the one that’s wrong?

Well we knew since November that they would not add another tier:

http://www.guildwars2hub.com/news/chris-whiteside-ama-ascended-gear-crazy-town

You’re pretty much victim to the negative hivemind here on the forums that likes to spew false information just to make themselves heard.

Yes, but as I said, there is going to continue to be VP. Also from November.

Hi All,
Here is the reply to the second question:
E2:Ascended gears are making a lot of people worry about an ever-increasing gear treadmill. Many players did not want the exotic/legendary system to change, and they don’t like ascended gears. Was this expected? Can this be something fixed in a painless way? Can it happen?
Yes the response was definitively expected. We did not intent for the information to come out this way. Going back to my previous answer the issue is that we believe in the vertical progression system we had pre launch and that the introduction of an element into the system post launch was going to cause concern but something we believe in. *That is why there is no plan for new Rarity Tiers of loot but there are plans to enhance or gain items within the existing rarity design whose properties continue on a shallow power curve. * This said we certainly don’t want to create a system where itemization blocks progression in the game globally and we also need to be careful of this in areas such as FotM if the primary reward isn’t available elsewhere in the game. So in short its an exciting problem but one that has been poorly communicated and handled.
And for this i take responsibility and apologies. However the future of this philosophy and the design challenges it throws up are going to lead to a pioneering world and one that we are very excited about.
So anyway i kind of went of topic here so in short. We don’t intend to have an item rarity gear treadmill, we intend for the progression for gaining these rewards to have lots of different avenues for different types of player and where possible lower no fun grind within the whole of the game.
I hope this answers that question. I will be right back.
Chris

All I’m saying with this, is that if you think this will be the end of vertical progression you are going to be disappointed. The same way I made the mistake of reading too much into early statements about the game, it would be a mistake to read too much into what they say now.

Yes, vertical progression through some other means, but not through a new tier, which is what I’m talking about. People make a whole deal about the ascended tier and how Anet will release a new one when all signs since November pointed otherwise.

the most that will come from this imo is a weapon experience training the more you use a weapon the more adept you become with it allowing you to hit harder and in the right places due to the conditioning of constantly swinging a greatsword ie would develop more muscle over time granted slower as time went on unless you changed the sword to a heavier matter each with their own perc imo axe being crippling due to “eviscerate” and lightness of weapon which i think would be an increase more so to precision and critical damage as sword precision and condition shield toughness and power greatsword mainly power and maybe endurance? this is from a warrior stand point might be class based for what increases they give who knows this is all just my opinion they may only give 2 bonuses to each weapon maybe more I think 3 would be best since there are 3 base stats for every weapon at the end game tiers exotic and ascended might be one exclusive bonus like warrior greatsword over like 10 adeptness levels grants a 1% attack speed increase to a max of 5% making 50 grandmaster with that weapon.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a Mr. Sparkles thanks to a long time friend.
Now my collection is up to date but I still dont agree with giving away exclusive in-game items via conventions.

I hope our suggestions are taken into consideration in future conventions, what I would consider acceptable is maybe a plush doll, gw2 t-shirt etc anything that is not an actual item in game.
Or they can still give it away but make that item then available in gem store for ones that could not make it to a convention.

Here is what anet will learn and do after seeing all this “Okay guys next convention we will hand out promo cards for the next playable race and that will be the only way you can get it.” then people sell it for $7,000 or more

2. If you are going to give someone a prize for attending a certain event, don’t make it bound to that person so other people can at least buy it

Please no. Such a rare item would very likely become one of the most expensive items in the game, and as much as our lead ‘economist’ denies it, luxury items do cause inflation, a lot in fact. Top shelf items will always be reached for, people reach for them by accelerating the rate at which they create currenct, creating currency causes inflation. Additionally, setting that higher bar in the first place invariably causes sellers to to parse their sales in it’s direction, because buyer perceptions have changed. A double whammy on the economy.

for someone to sell it for a certain price, someone else already has to have that amount of money. New money just doesn’t appear out of nowhere. And I do want Mr Sparkles, but kitten me for not having 1000 pounds to fly to Pax right?

Tell that to the legendaries, nobody had that amount of money when they were first posted, even the majority of the sellers, some do now and more will given time. Why? There are no urgency costs in GW2, and no limitations on seller resources, including space. It isn’t feasible in a real economy to put something up for sale and expect inflation to catch up, you will end up losing more money and time than it was worth, but GW2 does not mimic a real economy enough for that to be true, especially because…

New money appears out of nowhere whenever people play. The creation of currency is limited by minting in the real world, no such system in the game.

And I’m sorry if that sounded brash, I don’t mean that I think you or anyone else does not deserve this and shouldn’t be able to get it, I just don’t want this to damage the economy. In reality I just wish ANet would stop doing stupid things like this in the first place.

This ^ can we get a dev to take the time to employ this person? Please c’mon I’ll pay you to hire them 800 a month sound good? some one fix this broke —- game remove rng because well it’s just kittened and it will also drop the freaking price of stuff thats over 700g ty and as for event items I can some what understand but make em sellable not account bound there are many that attended them and have quit because you don’t listen to us or maybe u do but then you play rock paper scissors until some one wins and u just say ignore it or you already forgot.

this post is a focus point anet needs to look at dev interaction is needed not for you all to sit back and scratch ur heads maybe ur playing rock paper scissors to see who has to reply I dont care do something my god need more people like Josh that’ll just step up take the flak and sincerely work on fixing the problem unlike the way you guys avoid cantha you don’t have to say it might even become part of them game just be real and say “we can’t” or something don’t just say nothing and go silent when the player base asks you a question….

If someone thinks 5% is “impossible” then the rest of the adversity to be overcome in making a Legendary is gonna blow that person’s mind .

I see what your saying about 5% being impossible but here is something else for you the only thing for your legendary that has lower than that is the precursor so please just stop talking everything else has a set recipe whether it be mystic forge and GARUNTEED to get said item ie. lodestones even the mystic clovers have a 25-32% chance to net a clover or 10 depending on recipe I flushed over 200g worth of pebbles and lumps and walked away wtih 3 doubloons so dont give me that crap the OP is right the freaking thing isn’t even rare quality anymore last I saw it was fine RNG is breaking this game the die hard gamblers that probably have spent more than they care to say trying the lotto are the only ones like yea this is cool even tho they curse everytime they don’t get the rng’d item

since we don’t care for using arcing slice as the burst skill for gs why not change it to an Omnislash? granting us evade for 3/4 second and being similar to hundred blades but actually allowing us to hit our enemy of course it can be evaded but it’s an adren skill maybe 6x hit with 476 damage and due to speed of slash actually sending a blade made of air or energy at the target so if they run or blink away with a 600 range? this allows us to still hit those that run from a gs. everyone says it’s used for mobility but no one wants to get caught by it because it is your doom if you don’t avoid it ie making thieves a lil more accessible in the hitting department because that’s all they do is spam blind and teleport 15 times in one fight.

Edit: to give numbers on this when I use my axe adren skill squishies are anywhere depending on armor class light to heavy or vice versa 13k-18k crit if my sigil of fire goes off almost 1 shot any class if it hits and crits with sigil activation tanky builds cuts it down to 9.3k-12.7 with a +1.3-2.2k from sigil

yes nerf our dmg more please already need total nubs to really be effective in wvw or pvp no one stands still long enough other than them cc hammers are too easy really QQ about them makes no sense stability and destroy them in 8 seconds easy they are mostly going bursty for dmg or trying to tank dmg you by lasting longer which in case use condition dmg dot will exceed the healing easy to kite as we have easy to read animations + crap for ranged ability all u really need to do is block like 3 skills and our chain is screwed a lot of the warriors just using stability on mine they run after they don’t kd knockback and stun me because the build relies on that to dmg and kill you

hmmmm QQ about wars lets get back on theives you say let thieves stay stealth they can’t do dmg BS if they are stealthing they are doing worse than spamming cc that’s countered by stun breaks and stability which every class has access to qq less oh yea and thieves spamming blind stun useless we can not evade but with a few skills yea we have some blacks but those recharges are stupid thief can literally spam all day long stealth and blind u say sword dagger thieves again SPAM evade plus it’s still a burst plus skill 3 removes what FEW boons war has ok guardian invuls counter cc block cond dmg it all falls back on KNOW UR CLASS war gets short staffed by EVERY class unless you are a noob and stand still u don’t even really have to evade just MOVE our skills require u to be within 130 range with the exception of a few throw skills and aoe oh wow so hard to deal with compared to ele 16 stacks of bleed and 15 seconds of burning + chilled and thier cc engi so many immobilizes knockbacks elixer S for one they can even stealth if you know the class -.- ranger every other skill is evade and u have pets that kd fear just cc in general ok hmm nec fear the stupid death shroud plus some utility that makes them near invincible and immune to CC enormous cond dmg mesmer stealth knockback blink pull cond dmg(confusion stacks easy to get with perplex rune) who did I miss oh no body mes = high burst plus escape and clones of mass destruction thief = god ty stealth and initiative system nec = near god fears and unreal f1/utilities guard = outlasting warden of 3k heal dodge roll and continual cond dmg ranger = beast pet making 2v1 the most evades for 1 weapon set god forbid why they were given 2 engi = cc escape condition god ele = child of zeus 20 skills and 8 boons with 1 weapon set invuls escape maybe the highest cond dmg burst in the game oh did I forget to tell you they ALL have better range capabilities than a war

No offense I play war mostly have 4 of my lvl 80’s that are warrior and you say mobile strikes berserkers stance and dolyak sig which means you are setting ur build up to escape and u say ele’s can’t escape don’t make me laugh. rtl whatever the skill 3 is with dd mistform and a teleport if u set up for escape just as a war does since that’s what gs seems to be for unless we run into some noobs like some of you I guess all of the classes can escape easily it’s called knowing ur class. don’t come QQ here about wars when u have stealth as ranger thief and mes plus a few invuls on ele guardian just don’t get me started

Because honestly they have better armor enough said I just finished my twilight and I have 4 different sets of armor on my warrior alone the only thing I would like would be heavy armor similar to that of the norn(legs at least) don’t care for the rest I hate that arah is humped over your rear as a female why not have it tattered over the left hip rather than directly centered in the back? it would look a lot better imo.

In a way I am human because that’s where my legendary ended up because we don’t have Tengu.

Yea you guys nailed it I would love to see Kasmeer’s hair and face added even if the face isnt the same but similar and heck why not more hair colors too maybe some two-tone hairstyles that allows a blend of 2 colors?

Swarfega.6097:

Disappointed. I have alts that are mid leveling but above level 20 so useless to me. Why not just make them 20 levels for any character. At least anyone above 80 can get 20 skill points from these things.

Come on anet!

20 skill points is worthless all skills and my legendary already as many others those that don’t. Have the gear already and may be working on legendary ie 202 sp for world completion not counting all the times you level up during.

It doesn’t make sense, how is the game suppose to be funded?

If the game was absolutely free, we would have no content or very very little. People would complain.

If the game had a sub people would complain that there are f2p games out there and paying $15 per month isn’t justified.

With Anet relying on the gemshop for income, people complain that they are greedy.

Something must give. In everyone’s honest opinion how do you expect a company to hire workers to deliver quality content if they aren’t having some sort of income??

I honestly don’t get it.

I agree I don’t think I’ve complained about anything other than the hardship of making gold in gw2 but here recently even without lukc they made aquiring gold less of a chore it still takes time but its not as hard for those of us with HORRIBLE luck making t3 something the players can reach after all its only a skin no one wants a rare set of equips if they can help it. and legendaries were almost out of reach as it was I just finished my twilight after 7 months and I couldnt be happier player base needs to chill on precursor price tho seriously but the bday gifts I can’t wrap my head around I’ve put in 2g minimum over the year(talking real life cash here) and we get a scroll(played since headstart unless it was with 1 character only you have all classes over lvl 20 even if there were some you didnt like a whole lot ie scroll just died mini jennah account bound can’t forge it and no one uses mini’s anyways except for liadri I see it a lot and mini kasameer so another worthless item because we get 1 for each character and a 24 hour booster I have my legendary and full exotic gear and ascended magic find fail exp fail and other junk I love the game itself but unless they give an expansion I don’t see them keeping many players that have played since headstart and gw1.

Happy Anniversary Anet I love you’re product itself my favorite addition LEGENDARIES!!!!! and molten skins/jetpack!!! so cool! Next favorite for year two? I am praying every night for Tengu!

Not trying to be mean but don’t post on forums asking that question IF you deleted any characters since u started playing it could have been one they have the /age feature in the game for a reason it tells you the age of current character and acokitten. also gifts are based on CHARACTER age not account.

Edit: accou nt i don’t even know either way that’s what I said

People complaining about free items that ANet decided to do when they didn’t have to!? Say it ain’t so…

You people are ridiculous.

Exactly my thoughts. They dont have to give us ANYTHING! Just because they did so in GW1, doesnt mean it has to be the same for GW2 since its a whole different game, reasons why some things from part 1 didnt make it to part 2. Accept your gifts, along with all the other easy items gained from living story and keep playing.

And we don’t have to give them money either. Bottom line is that there are expectations and some of them set by Anet themselves. You can’t just say then that people just should accept everything someone throws at you.

Every time a company gives you something for free, I don’t care how big the letters are to showcase it as FREE, it’s part of an experience that you have paid for. That doesn’t have the same feeling to me.

The fact that this topic exploded here just shows how important these little things are. Now, you may be right in saying that little things shouldn’t matter that much, but perhaps there is more than entitlement going on here. Perhaps people are focusing on each little thing because they already are dissatisfied customers to some degree.

Just like stress, small things get you over that edge, if you already have a stress level close to but just under that edge. The same goes for dissatisfaction I’d say.

There may be a lot of people who already have a number of question marks about this game and then this small thing is just the thing that tips them over the edge.

Honestly, it’s a realistic possibility.

That this is where the gamer’s mentality is headed, into a “privileged” mindset. Just look at the negative response on the Heroic Edition. Complaining about the “free” stuff and how they should have brought it now. It’s like they never brought a game before, if they ever did, price drops are a common thing and “Game of the Year” editions nowadays. Does the Heroic edition come with your hard earn Shatterer wings, Karka shell backpiece, etc? No, because anyone buying it now would miss out on those exclusive skins.

And yes, we don’t have to give them money, I am sure over 50% of these complaining players haven’t brought a single gem card yet they complain over everything not given to them. What I really appreciate was ANET giving the GEM card buyers (people who actually supported the company after initial purchase of game) thank you gifts. To me, its those “little” things that matter to me. Does it suck for the players who can’t afford to buy gems? Yes, which is why they give free stuff time to time for all, such as WXP boosters I got recently, Polla doll (crappy, lol), along with other stuff I can’t remember.

Also got to understand the reason for living stories, to extend the end game for many while handing out items to earn that many new players will miss out on.

I agree with you to an extent yea people are rathing inconsiderate with the heroic edition its designed towards people who are completely new to the game if you preordered the freakin game you knew about it and you knew that gw1 rewards carried over into gw2 IE most of the stuff they gave away with heroic and they didnt give it all nor even re useable items all consumable where as those of us that linked our gw1 account have it forever and ever so its no big deal to me plus I wouldnt have my Twilight now either. on the other hand with the bday I think they should have given us like 2 tickets of our choice for weapons skins excluding legendaries and I think many of us would be happy with that account bound rather than a wortless scroll and mini. No offense anet I love your product but this was very little incentive for us gw1 vets that play or played gw2 to come back or stay I am actually scared to keep my characters now for year 2. next year guys we will get another booster and account bound portal consumable!!!!! Thanks for free things(but please work on something to actually keep us consider the weapon skin selection thing honestly) and thumbs up if u trashed jennah I hate being around her in the game itself I dont want her following me…..

Yea I finished my twilight I know when its done but I would like to know how exactly we will be changing it off and on between stats I am really looking forward to it + it knocks out my weapon so I can focus on armor but that also means new legendaries and such are just around the corner + maybe an expansion? tengu are bringing some asian styled weapons since they may be adding totally new weapons to existing professions? maybe a kusarigama styled weapon for slightly longer than standard melee range? Thief getting played again? -check- or maybe you will allow warriors to become a little more flexible rather than so stiff? and brute force yea they will still hit hard but I mean what makes you a warrior is not just how big of a sword you can carry some are dexterous fighters that don’t hide in shadows but can still go toe for toe with the hulking muscles in terms of taking hits it doesnt take a meatshield greatsword/axe/warhamer carrying person to take a hit just an idea

a whole day and the community doesn’t have any suggestions for more character cosmetics I mean you will be stareing at your character for months to come surely there is something you’d like added to appeal to your tastes a little more?

Edit: yea I agree the sylvari are kind of getting the short stick with cosmetics and yea some fibers rather than all leaves(and mushroom-singular-) would be nice give it more of a hair look yes they are plants but who wants to look like a cabbage all the time? or a shroom

I’d honestly Like to see some more slightly longer ranged weapons for thieves remove the stealth and give them a new weapon like a Kusurigama gives them slightly more range than melee weapons and its a rather dexterous weapon so maybe 2/5 or 3/5 skills evasive(maybe the 3rd a stun breaker?)? of course with cooldowns to match but upsides in either dmg or effects to make people not QQ it would be rather op against people that are strickly melee like myself and would encourage us to diversify or modify to do more cc with kd knockback stuns etc of course these skills would not be spammable so the thief would not be god like but gives them the option to pull out of fights with similiar ease as stealth but not as op this being they have several shadow steps to tele away and blinds shadow refuge in gw1 was a intense health regen for roughly 8 seconds and if you were attacking when it ended bonus health why not change it back to that in gw2? would give me more incentive to play my thief again atm I hate being able to faceroll my keyboard and walk out of zergs

Edit: you can set your build for + initiative and can get an initiative almost every strike allowing the spam of skills on a thief take them back to GW1 honestly its unfair we didnt have stealth then but we did have skills that made us invulnerable that we learned how to make perma dont let us do that but other classes CAN NOT SPAM skills I know because I have all classes thief was my 2nd lvl 80 almost 9 months ago all classes should be on a level playing field no class can spam skills but thief thanks to your initiative system drop them to cooldowns like the rest of the classes making them take more skill to play

nica.5829:

The assassin race is Largos, they are so cool looking :} Imo much cooler than the playable races currently in gw2, and way more awesome than Tengu or Kodan. They are sleek, mysterious, individual… So very different from humans, yet still somewhat human or elf-like so that I relate to them. This race would be very popularly played, I guarantee that. /beg
I hope they don’t add in Tengu as a race, I would hate that as much as Pandas in wow, and that’s why I quit wow.

No offense to you yourself you have your desire and opinion for largos but imo they should stay as their 1 skill point and select few story quest they are rather unappealing to me anet would have to do some hard sales to get me to want to even touch them. However Tengu I LOVE I came from gw1 and talon wasn’t just for kicks the only melee hench I would get over him was Devona because hammer CC was useful but usually always devona and Talon in my party the others varied. I will make an additional 4 characters minimum when tengu become playable they already have a home connected to LA and Caeledon Forest (sylvari starter zone) called Domain of Winds. also there are many many more people that would love to play them not only for the potential but many of us came from GW1 many farmed tengu for feathers I’m sure but we all hold a soft spot for them plus I’d like to see what Anet can do for them as customization goes and appearance with armor(cultural mostly) they would make sleek rangers thieves and warriors easily plus in gw1 they also had necs and I think there were occassional monks i might be wrong tho correct me please.

Yea I liked it better when I didn’t have commander tag and the people listned to me must have been because I have twilight instead either way we succeeded after only really starting at 36 mins and maybe 4% done on first wave because they listened to me and spread out tagging all the events and not zerging and requesting small numbers to assist with aether cpatain instead of calling a whole zerg. so it took us 10 mins more than most worlds to get started and we still completed because we didnt have crap commanders. I want to get the tag eventually and I got many whispers from the people saying thanks and I’d be good at it. Still in due time tho I want to learn WvW as well not just be a PvE commander and def not like the commander in your screens Recycle sorry for that. They give those of us who try a bad name because he only wants for himself. I’ll bet my twilight he didnt get that tag on his own.

they deleted the last thread I posted in and I agree give us a chance at recieving the limited release weapon tickets like in winterday and molten alliance(fused weapons) maybe even gauntlets something unique to signify 1 year that people actually show the only mini’s I actually see are Liadri because it is a status symbol it was a challenge to beat her.

No offense I love the idea but I’d have to replace 1/2 of my bags with invisible 4 sets of armor and about 13 dif weapons. idk about you but I dont really want to salvage my legendary on accident because of mass salvage I’d rather pick and choose like it currently is. this being that I ONLY use mystic I mean achievements and had almost a stack of stones -.-

Ok just wanted to start this went through firs 6 pages didn’t see one and I dont have enough time to go through 20+ pages you know life calls/work. Anyways I would LOVE some two tone hair colors like the one in pic. it’s kinda blue on top and in the front and in the back the last like 7 inches of hair fade to a light brown also you can see its not a deep blue or bright blue its more subtle. also LOVE THE EYES I’d like to get more ideas suggestions some of the player base has for all races and genders I want this one to be for Human though just saying.

Edit: also would like some facial features themselves human females either are stern with almost no smile and kinda bleh or childish imo almost baby face. I love her face in pic because it is a stern warrior look with glamour it isnt dull it might be the rain idk

I vote she has spoken with the tengu Emissaries from the Domain of Winds and is comming to an agreement for them to open their doors!!!!!!! I WANT MY TENGU CHARACTERS!!!!!! I mean really I can make 6 tengu easy -ranger Warrior(R.I.P. Talon) thief necro Guardian(Talon savior cantha palace mission) and well another ranger cause Tyria and cantha they were xD buy expansion and character slots.

Idk who will agree but the most memorable character that we all liked actually came from Factions imo. Talon Silverwing Master Togo and my love hate relationship with Shiro honestly prophecies had no impact on me whatsoever except for the little flute girl Gwen. Nightfall I wanted to kill kormir and Varesh, however I liked Razah and many of the heroes. So, Factions like the asian culture in real life HAD the biggest impact on the players I miss it where I afk’d and sat around chatting after I did what I wanted in gw1 I sat in Shing Jea alllllllllllllll day.
Edit: oh and “Beware the Harvest Ceremony.”

good to hear xD I could forsee spending a nice chunk of money on unique tengu race items and they themselves also to get legendaries for them if I don’t have the money on the side and maybe even if I did i would just to show how happy I am to have them as a race.

Ok i just actually spent time looking at the Tengu in gw2 today after 10 months I just skipped over like everything and didnt play much. Anyways, I wonder if anet plans on introducing more races eventually and if so how will we get them will we have to purchase or will it actually be some sort of expansion for free? I have 11 characters atm and will buy at least 2 more character slots if they become a race that we can play. idk how many others remember them and I want to live up to Talon Silverwing’s example personally as playable races go human are still #1 imo I thought it would be sylvari but I was disappointed. Asura #2 everything else I dont even want to rate tengu #1 behind the scenes definately my fav npc’s to hang around when bored : P

This legendary talk reading back a few pages some of you people are dumb as my cat that thinks its a dog. Legendary is COMPLETE gold sink I agree with others that it should be achievement based 100% map being the first steping stone or something but this 600 ecto a 700g precursor that NEVER drops for legit people. I know a guy that exploited the hell out of the game had Bifrost Twilight sunrise 2 incenerators a dreamer kudzu t3 on all characters he had 12 btw and commander on 8 of them in 5 months. Basically if you didnt exploit the karma screw ups and chilli pepper karma screw up and made 1000’s of gold off of it you’re going to spend about a year as a casual player to get some of the more sought after legendaries ie greatswords staff dagger. currently 70g for 250 powerful blood that’s real nice anet since u have deminishing returns for farming. you push us to grind the ….. out of event chains that stretch a distance for our karma and gold what part of the game wouldnt be a grind did you actually impliment? yea the elitist or people that haven’t had to work for shhhh in their life will have it either mommy buys them gems or they buy gold itself or maybe even the freaking legendary cuz they can just blow the money to get another game. I have put in over 1500 usd in gems getting exclusive release items but I work a full time job and have a lil money I can throw around but I also have less than half of the hours of most of the people in my guild. I’m getting close to 700 hours now. I’ve spent $550 in gems to turn to rares and exotic greatswords for the toilet nothing it was a good 1500 swords I am getting sick and tired of getting on after working all day and not having a kittenING COSMETIC you literally gave NO EDGE to obtaining a legendary other than the fact people are going to look at you like me and go ‘kitten’ or ‘oooooo pretty colors’ I go oooo at twilight and bifrost the 2 that I want but even so I still dispise everyone with them or any legendary. I had to work the night of the lost shore closing event so I missed out that sucks major eggs but the fact the prices just skyrocketed after that kitten es me off. gw1 anything cosmetic you wanted micro purchase except for obby armor which wasn’t hard to get 120 ecto? heck you had the 55 ss farm forever once u nerfed that there was perma sf and obby tank get 7-21 per run depending on luck and personal skill on how much you could do and it easily converted to cash and obby shards.

In short, lost shores is some of the worst “content” I have ever seen in over ten years of MMO experiences.

Bug ridden, lag filled, exclusionary, and worst of all many folks spent hours on it and got no rewards at all. Others, who had the ability to play at Areanet’s convenience and were lucky enough not to get bugged or disconnected, got rewards worth more gold than than many folks will ever see in the game.

I can not think of a worst way to treat customers.

they could ban us permanently for downing their ability to do their job just saying

2/2

Mail:
One mail message per event stage is enough: For a three phase event, I had five or more messages (not including Miyani’s penchant for letter writing). One message per Phase with a summarized paragraph for each available event is perfect – I just need something to point me in the right direction, and how much time I have to complete the event. (If I need more information, I would check the wiki/forums/twitter/official page).

Non-issues:

• Not everyone could attend: Not everyone will be able to attend a one-time event no matter what time it is set at, and not everyone will be able to attend even a repeating event all weekend. People have asked for one-time events, and GW seems to offer something for everyone while not everyone can or will take advantage of everything.
• Personally: It doesn’t matter to me if the event is noon or midnight; I’ll sleep during the day or evening and set my alarm for midnight (or 3am, or 6am, etc.); I already do this normally, in order to keep GW updated and available during the day – it’s how I updated GW for the Lost Shores event.

The Karken Chest:
In the Lost Shores end event, I completed it in 2.5 hours and received the chest. Those who participated and for whatever reason didn’t get the chest should receive something; GW has already stated they will do something although that will take time. However, those who participated for fifteen minutes, declared in map chat that the “lame event sucked” and then left, shouldn’t receive anything (just because they found out afterward there was a prize at the end).

Fractals Dungeon:
Fun – I didn’t complete any and didn’t plan to, but going in and taking a look was great fun.

Jumping Puzzles:
Again, being that JP’s have little reward I didn’t complete these yet, in favour of other events. Having found one and looking for the other, I understand these are staying, and I will complete them as time permits. The one I found (Stepping Stones) I thoroughly enjoyed starting.

TL;DR – Fun event; looking forward to the next one.

no offense but you have no life to be able to do that some of us are adults and dont still wear diapers which props on knowing how to type at such a young age

personally i think EVERY cosmetic should b able to b bought via black lion ex. cultural armor and rare weapons that are just there for its skin none of the cultural armor is gotten for its stats it sucks its purely a cosmetic item that u want us to spend at least $1,300 in gems to get now and when i was trying to get it $3,200 to get it

Buying game items with real cash (i.e. pay-to-win) is supposed to be a crappy deal, to discourage people from doing it. That way the people who want to play the game to get rewards have an easier time than people who want to bribe the referee.

I am VERY late on responding sorry i have 2 jobs anyways lol paying for cosmetic items does not = pay 2 win learn the meaning pay 2 win gives you an advantage over others what does buying a cosmetic give you over others hmm? Nothing other than i look cooler if what u say went then we couldnt buy costumes or black lion chests when they offered weapon skins

kiba.2768:

my experience:

so i’ve been saving up for a precursor for about 4 weeks now. i finally had enough to put up a buy order for the chosen before work today(5am). i come home, elated to see someone sold it to me. curious, i checked the tp prices, only to see they are selling for 65g now. so i paid double for it because of the event giving out a ton of these precursors. if i had waited a day longer, i could have gotten one for half the price. in fact, i could have gotten all 100 icy runestones with my leftover coin.

now, it’s just pure chance and bad luck that this happened to me. i am not asking for any recompense. but please consider in the future the impact of having so many high priced items drop for a 1-time event that not everyone could attend. i missed it by 3 hours and thus, ended up paying about an extra 2 weeks of my playtime spent grinding for gold.

it’s a strange feeling to be both happy and disappointed at the same time. granted, i paid what i expected to pay, but the afterthought leaves a bitter taste.

haha have to point out that you said grind anet told us there would be no grind or at least it wouldnt feel like it hahahahaha you guys fail at your work prices = way to high for anything that are neccessary for an actual equiped character and i’m not saying the legendary crap thats just godly awsome(looks) although personally i think EVERY cosmetic should b able to b bought via black lion ex. cultural armor and rare weapons that are just there for its skin none of the cultural armor is gotten for its stats it sucks its purely a cosmetic item that u want us to spend at least $1,300 in gems to get now and when i was trying to get it $3,200 to get it

Event fail did everything until today had to work during the day and got on at about 6 and saw guildies posting exotics and precursors was like cool where did u get it then found out it was a 1 time shot thanks a lot so uhm guess i’m gone again i’d sooner tell ppl to send there money to wow or APB maybe dcuo anywhere but here. Assist us like you did in gw1 and stop bending us over and feeding us crap to attempt to keep us.

I honestly enjoyed the event and the loot was definitely worth it. If you lagged well then that’s not anyone’s fault is it? I mean get a better PC, some folks were unable to join (I know a few) and those who did still complain? give me a break. There’s a difference in giving feedback and just straight up complaining. I was lagging too, a lot, however, I still had tons of fun. Folks dropping and folks reviving it was all epic. It’s a shame it’s a one time deal but lucky for me and many more we were actually able to play. If you had a chance to play and complaining about lag then get a better PC. You want your own server to satisfy your needs? make your own game and don’t tell anyone to avoid lag issues.

you are a total dick i have a six core comp 8gb ram tb hardrive and a geforce 580 graphics and i get kicked ur kittening kitten stop trolling this game has fell into the sht hole

Sounds to me you’re the one trolling my specs are a lot worst ( Compaq Presario CQ62) and I had no problem. Second, I am not talking about those who got kicked out during the event. That’s an understandable argument. Third if you feel this game fell into the “Sht hole” you claim then leave, less lag, less complaining. Go pay $15/$13 for a sub.

if my posts werent deleted with the thread then guess what you would see i came bk to try this even after being gone for going on 2 months i think next week would have made it that long so troll somewhere else

ThatDudeJon.2597:

By the way guys, sorry for those that missed it but “Spend my money somewhere elsewhere” really? I’m pretty sure information on the [3 day event] was posted on Arena net’s main page. Sent to everyone’s E-mail (if you were smart to sign up for their newsletter) posted on their Twitter, Facebook etc. Be serious guys, stop making it seem like nobody was notified a months earlier. Too much complaining not enough playing =l.

Again STOP TROLLING YOU DI CK i just checked my email cuz i signed up for it i didnt recieve anything b4 monday last week go screw yourself and uhm dude if you werent 4 years old you would know you need more than 4 days notice to get a day off at work

oh yea uhm i came back to try this event after leaving cause they took 500 bucks and gave me 33g woo how the kitten is that supposed to get rid of gold farmers? anyways yea dont consider dropping them just do it they arent going to change they havent since head start or even beta dont consider ever with them they dont with us as deletion of the thread shows

Wow i said i hope the company dies cause all they do is bend us over now they arent here for the players like the original claim they want all our money and ban us if we try to get its worth this makes the umphth time they deleted my posts about them screwing us. the only people with anything in your game bought gold fix that and get rid of them give us our money’s worth we work our azzes off to give u money while u sit on yours.

See arena net you should have just made gw2 a console game no one on the game helps eachother and you have it set so you can ban anyone thats wants their money’s worth of gold because you want $3,000 for t3 cultural armor built the game for the players HA i could pee on the ground and it be worth more to the players than what you’re doing.

Ok this may be just me but again I stand to state I quit gw2 after first month of play since I got 3 lvl 80 characters and all that is fine and dandy but all these ‘cosmetic’ items floating around because you do nothing more than transmute it after you get it because of horrid stats. This game I would play millions to cancel right now because it is not avaliable for all types of players its here for those who can buy gold and not get caught and not through black lion either. Cultural T3 120 gold get real I spent $500 real life to try to get it when I reached level 80 I got 33 gold roughly when I could have easily made 3 or 4 thousand gold from gold sellers. I gave the game a chance but for gw1 allowing any cosmetic to b easily obtained since it gives NO advantage then gw2 making u spend 8 months to get 1 thing or use your life savings to get it legitly through gem trade. Yeah and you guys said there wouldnt be grind like other MMO’s but let me ask you a question. Have you played your own game lately? I mean without using ur standing to prob just edit gold into your accout inventory or whatever and see how freaking slow it goes? Yeah lets see omg I died my armor is broken i need to repair OMG 12 silver?!?!?!?!?! let me travel here to do this dungeon OMG 4silver EVERY time not just one time then its free. Thank you anet you really showed how much you care. You guys should have just stuck with gw1 the only thing that would make gw1 surpass gw2 in EVERY way is if we could jump freely. Wasted my fortunes in gw1 because it wasn’t clarified until a little bit before launch that the items didnt carry over just unlocked skins o wow like I give a crap about that stuff you had there. Actually looking forward to seeing this game collapse I’d rather play WoW and I have never played it.
