So how is your server? Choosing the right one for you

I’m on Gandara, EU unofficial English.

Aside from the almost constant gold sellers, the majority of the community I’ve encountered have been friendly, helpful and just up for a bit of a chat and some random pug-ing.

Also, chock-full of people and we do okay in WvW.

How to: get the most from your Nvidia GPU, high end PC and GW2

Thanks for the Nvidia advice. I’m running Win 7 64x, 32GB RAM, GTX 570, AMD6100 XT and my frame rate is 35-45 fps…reading this I can’t help but feel I’m being shortchanged somewhere?

Opt Out of Leaving Overflow

Twaddlefish.6537

Surely the Leave Queue option is already there? Unless you mean when the overflow box first comes up?

But then, surely the whole idea of the overflow is that it’s excess and you should ideally be playing on your home server?

Please don't restrict cultural armor to Heavy/Medium/Light Only.

But…it’s light, medium and heavy. A guardian warrior would wear a chest plate, where as a mesmer would wear a great coat.

It’s not rocket science. I understand your personal taste but for a dozen established fantasy reasons it just doesn’t work.

We need duels and wow-style arenas!

I’d like to see duelling at some point. You could in GW1, why not in GW2?

Arenas can suck it, however.

70c is cheap for waypoints, I was standing not 30 feet away from one and it was 1s16c! I’m going to say keep it as it is, simply because the jumping across the map like we had on GW1 did feel a little immersion breaking.

Pro-tip: If you want to get back to LA for free, queue Borderlands and kill time until you get there and then bust through their asura gate.

Go to the Mists? :P

Even better!

Some guild improvements

I would like to add to this thread.

Can we have the MOTD display on login like it did in GW1? Mainly to welcome people that day with any new information, but I’m sure many of us have websites that we wouldn’t mind people signing up to, and having that info as soon as they log on can help, especially if there’s meta-discussion for guild interests.

Function that pings when guildies come online/offline.

An option to hide all offline players.

Dyes - Please make them account bound.

I would like to see them as account only, particularly my few rare dyes.

Across 5 characters, the complete set racks me up to something like 2000 dyes. That’s hypothetical maximum, I don’t actually plan on doing that.

I can see the arguments for character based though and after collecting some totally random colours, it’s not as bad as I expected.

But please lower the drop rate for all these bloody pink ones!

Ground Targeting AoE - Cast at current target

in Suggestions

Posted by: Twaddlefish.6537

Twaddlefish.6537

The option to cast at the location of your mouse marker took me a lot of getting used to, having to mark at the feet of the enemy and still miss half the time…so much so I turned it off!

I can certainly appreciate that on-target AoE would be useful, and would use it myself on occasion.

Wonderful stuff. A lot of it is pretty much common sense, but written down in the list there’s so much to do. Sick of people kittening out the lack of end game two weeks from launch, there’s an insane volume of stuff to do.

PVE Down-level Scaling Pains

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Twaddlefish.6537

Twaddlefish.6537

The whole point of downscaling is that you DON’T behave like a God in the starter zones. Furthermore, it keeps all areas of the game fairly relevant, although the rewards will never be as high as the level 80 areas.

If you want to loll about without a challenge in starter areas, you’re in the wrong game.

undying monthly achievement

While we’re on monthly, the reward is complete toss compared to the effort you have to put in.

The survivor bit is fine for me, can bash out 100k xp in an afternoon at 65.

GW2 and TESO

Twaddlefish.6537

There is no such thing as TESO. It’s all a bad dream, manifested by Todd Howard’s out of control imagination after a sheet of acid tabs and a bottle of cheap tequila.

Also, no. Looks like a WoW clone from what I’ve seen, Zenimax jumping on the free money train.

I Wish Vistas Were Not Needed for Zone Completion

Posted by: Twaddlefish.6537

Twaddlefish.6537

Keep the vistas as they are. The only one I’ve done where you have to do a proper jumping puzzle to get the vista so far is Tribulation Rift.

You want world completion? Complete the godkittenworld. You can’t have the world completed yet you have 130 vistas you’ve yet to visit.

GW2 good ideas, shockingly implemented.

On the subject of CC, you only need to look at Huttball in SWTOR to see how bad constant stun locks can be. I rolled an Inquistor Assassin and I could barely move from constant CC.

As a warrior in this game, you can’t just wade in and spank them with a bit of steel until they fall over; dodge, use all your skills.

1H Sword and Responsiveness

I love the 1H sword, but #1 does lock you into attacking an enemy, the only way I find I can get out of a situation is by switching to my alt weapon and dodging back.

Where is the Quiver?!

A quiver would be great, and wouldn’t be adverse to the addition of ammunition either, provided it was managed properly.

TP needs higher "default price", better messaging.

Twaddlefish.6537

I investigate the actual price of the item I’m selling before I post it, then either undercut slightly if it’s selling quickly or if I know there’ll be a constant stream of buyers I’ll pop it a little bit higher.

Bit of capitalist sense needed for some players I feel.

Trading in a Global Game Economy

Posted by: Twaddlefish.6537

Twaddlefish.6537

It’s a great economy, but jute is seriously screwed at the moment. Copper is alright for the moment, but iron is cripplingly low, but I don’t plan on selling it.

The first and second tier modifiers (totems, venom sacs etc) are hilariously expensive as well right now. In a good way this’ll increase players back in the starter areas for materials though.

Guild members not visible on the map -bug?

If it is, I think it’s a shame. I’d like to see where my friends are, even if it’s just on the same map.

When will profession balance be addressed?

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Twaddlefish.6537

Twaddlefish.6537

You’ve asked for balance without specifying what’s wrong?

In SWTOR, it wasn’t necessarily that anyone was OP, but the stun-locks completely broke the pvp. Some basic feedback about what general abilities (AoE, DoT, CC) are OP and then Anet can look at them).

Also, you’ll want gameplay issues.

I’m not entirely sure if this is a bug, but anything soul bound to my character doesn’t appear in the trade window and it cannot be salvaged with ANY salvage kit.

Exotic Armours not displaying correctly

Posted by: Twaddlefish.6537

Twaddlefish.6537

Little bug, but still a bit of annoyance.

All of the dungeon reward armours don’t have the correct skins when previewed, just your bog standard light, medium, heavy skins. The weapons are fine but everything from AC to Arah armour doesn’t appear correct.
