Guild Wars 2

I was walking past Ellen standing there and found a giant holographic clawed hand in my screen. Then I was asked when did Ellen get claws?

My theory was that the fight(at least partially) was an illusion by Zhaitan’s mesmers. It wouldn’t be the first time he used these illusions on us.

With this theory:
Zhaitan was cunning and deceived us all.

With the current story:
Zhaitan was arrogant and that lead to his downfall.

There are some theories that Zhaitan is recuperating after the first defeat, but here is a bit of proof that it isn’t the last time we will see him.

Some proof driven spoilers:
SpoilerWhen fighting the Sovereign Eye of Zhaitan the Eye says "I see in your heart that you have lost someone to Zhaitan. Someone named...(Sieran, Tybalt, Forgal). S/he is waiting for you now, beneath the dragon's wings... ". This seems to point to a future confrontation with Zhaitan in which you will also run into these 3 again. Closure is a good thing.

If Zhaitan really is dead and gone I have a second theory about Orr.

That is it for right now. A lot to type and read.
This combines a few theories and questions on this forum.

Logging out and back in made Evon disappear, now to find out what made him appear.

I don’t think this is working as intended….Other people in the same zone said that it was fine for them. Evon is not animated standing in a default position.

This has been suggested since beta. We’ve never gotten a response from arenanet.

Here is my idea:
Large characters less susceptible to control effects, Launch, Pull, Push, and knockdown.
Smaller characters get a faster endurance bar refill, but more susceptible to control effects.

It would not affect, stun, daze or fear.
It just seems logical to me.

During beta they told us that the cape idea was scrapped because they didn’t like the physics of it.

Some point we are going to see every enemy we fought during the story of each character working together. White Mantle, Inquest, Dredge, flame Legion, just lump all the pirates together, they already said that we are going to find out what invoked the dredge and flame legion attacks.

Solo content that isn’t doing the same thing over and over again and it just as rewarding as working with others.

Not everything in the game can be completed by every player and you shouldn’t expect them to.

Just wondering what this icon is. It randomly comes up when I open the trade window and I’ve never seen this icon before. Does anyone recognize it?

FourthVariety.5463:

Farming for tickets to play content you are interested in is like mowing the lawn to earn money for movie tickets back when you were 14.

Not every adult appreciates the throwback he is subjected to playing GW2. The game should treat adults like adults and even though you waste time playing the game no matter what you do, the game should try to avoid situations where the waste of time becomes too obvious.

Being forced to do X before you can do Y is one such thing. Especially when Y is being promoted by PR, especially when X and Y have no game mechanical connection and simply happen to be part of the same content update.

Your comment makes no sense. The content seems to function exactly like adulthood. You go to work so you can have the money to do other things. The concept of mowing a lawn so you can afford to go to the movie is suppose to be seen as something a more responsible teenager on their way to adulthood would do.

In your suggested concept you would get to go to the movies without any prior earning of the money to get in. This is being treated more like a child in that you don’t have to account for anything.

You seem to be saying, “I am an adult, therefore X shouldn’t apply to me, and I should be allowed to skip to Y if I want to.” This seems very childish indeed/

no speculation:

Effort could amount to hours of smacking a slab of granite with a pool noodle.

I mean it’s going to take a while and in attempting it you have obvious intent for something worthwhile to happen in the end. If you truly learn from each experience then over time you should get better. After the first whack with the pool noodle you will probably change your strategy. If you don’t learn from mistakes and you keep trying well…..

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

I liked Trahearne. He is second in Necromancy only to me.

I do know that Norn can only marry another Norn of equal achievement/strength. In GW1 there was a quest series to take a Norn spouse.

Your would be spouse says “after we are married we will go kill this creature together.” In order to get out of this marriage you go and kill the creature yourself to make your would be spouse not worthy of your hand.

I don’t think Zhaitan is dead either, but my theory was that the fight(at least partially) was an illusion by Zhaitan’s mesmers. It wouldn’t be the first time he used these illusions on us.

As to a theory where Zhaitan went I would say that he went to Elona to mass a new undead army.

With the current story:
Zhaitan was arrogant and that lead to his downfall.

With this theory:
Zhaitan was cunning and deceived us all.

The forge has no diminished returns.

I never have post process affects on anyway. My PC can’t take it.

There is nothing wrong with the Watchknights. I found this forum through a post titled “Watchknights’ chests….”. I assumed this was about the loot they dropped.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Triforge_Pendant_%28ascended%29
around 200 gold
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Syzygy
20 laurels and 250 badges of honor, or 30 laurels

I feel the ones who made the ascended Triforge or the regular should be refunded most of the money, and anyone who made any of the 3 pendants that make up the triforge should get an ascendable upgrade for the individual piece.

They said they are programming their version of raiding right now. Also programming an in game dungeon finder.

If you want roles in dungeons you need to find a permanent group for doing dungeons with that is willing to work within those boundaries.

Anyone else have an opinion on this?

What’s wrong with using this version?

We have easier versions of that one to get one the same stats now as well.
The people who got that deserve even more of a refund.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Eye_of_Janthir
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Eyes_of_Abaddon

and the last one is identical to Triforge
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Syzygy

some of us were forced when the Emerald Pendant was the only option for PVT stats. Spent that money to get the stats we wanted only to have an ascended pendant released that is easier to get with better stats.

250 gold Ingots 6g
250 crystalline dust 28g
250 ruby 50g/emerald 6g/sapphire orbs 5g
50 Mystic counts 1.5g

Posting this because of the large price just to craft these and the people that crafted a piece before the combinations were released. Paying extra for a Zelda reference around your neck is ridiculous without unique stat combinations.

My first idea was asking for at least a partial refund of the materials for the pendant,
but then I thought a Forge Recipe to make the individual pieces have ascended versions would be a better option.

Ascended Ruby Pendant, Ascended Emerald Pendant, Ascended Sapphire Pendant

Nihilus.3015:

I made it inside

Sorry, the character in this picture is preventing my eyes from seeing anything else in the tent.

Any servers uncontested?

that was why I specifically said party members, my suggestions are all just possibilities, of course some of them could be eliminated for possible trolling. What if there was a party setting for my idea for magic find? or work for guild groups?

With the recent article describing Magic Find removal from gear, I have a suggestion for a magic find type system. How about increased better chance at drops for actively participating and doing combat well.

Successfully dodging attacks, damage done, healing, resing, taking the most damage?

Reduced chance for better drops on you dying, or letting a party member die.

It’s rewarding people for actively playing well and with others.

Human Engineer
Retribution story step
Tegwen chosen as backup
Turrets set at final boss, ran back to treb and fired from there
When cutscene hits I get a half interface half cutscene screen.

They said from the beginning that different stat combinations were going to be part of the content updates. I don’t think that gear with every stat on it is worth getting. You are better off specializing in a specific branch and maximizing a build. There is no Win in PVE. There is only win in PVP and you can’t pay for victories in that.

Making a Build I decide what weapon is more my style. Then I see if that weapon is more condition or power based. Then I find traits to suit that style. Then I pick from those traits the stats I will have on my gear.

And about the sentinel gear, I play necro so Vit is my primary stat with each giving me more death shroud. At some point you don’t need more health, and adding any more is detrimental to your performance. If you can’t get enough Vit with secondary vit stats then rethink your build. There are so many combinations with secondary vit you can get any traits you want.

Which programmer is responsible? Show yourself so that we may poke fun.

How many of you will try it before it’s patched?

Not every Orrian had to be at home though.

that second screenshot looks like a view from hell. I am currently uploading a video showing how to get down there. 2 hours left on the upload.

One more screenshot

Screenshot of where I am now

Fell through the world.
Am I suppose to report this?

This section of the map seems to be riddled with awkward glitches.
Targetable door with display name. NPC sitting on the floor under the couch. A window inside a wall, and a texture gap.

If only the designer of the area would grace us with their presence and confirm the ‘stairs’ on the side of a roof.

When I am in Divinity’s Reach I feel like I am in building orgy. There are a lot of buildings in a relatively small area and some of them connect with each other in not so natural ways.

I love how the design of areas conform to jumping puzzles rather than any sort of realism. Some spacial disturbance happened and now half of my house is in yours.

Kind of pointless but it looks like it was made to get to on purpose. Quite a few trick jumps to get to it, and it has those awkward looking stair things to get you up that part of the roof. The fact that it looks ‘developer made on purpose’ is the only reason I am posting this. It’s like a first attempt at jump puzzle design.

I like the view.

You weren’t there before the nerf a few weeks ago were you? They specifically reduced the amount of mobs in the zones and the knockbacks and stuns that said mobs do.

All of the ideas together would be OP yes, It’s more of a list of possible affects for the skill. Damage while moving was a Guild Wars 1 skill. Just trying to give it a GW2 twist.

Anyone have an opinion?

I read something a while ago that the were thinking about this and I came up with an idea.

A condition that makes people take damage while moving
Makes them leave a trail of corruption as they move that lasts X seconds (could function as a combo field? Could have an affect for allies or enemies that enter it?)
Would be a way to track cloaked players.

I already know that they have ‘leaving a trail’ programmed into the game because of Spectral Walk.
