Guild Wars 2

What happens is when you double click the skin when you get it, it asks if you want it for PvP or PvE

Yes please keep it! This has to be the most fun I ever had on a video game in a long time.

ACTUALLY! It will be around a lot longer, the guy who makes the JP’s in GW2, forgot his name but he said that if this goes well then the Anet team will allow him to keep working on it and keep it around longer.

I got a simple answer that can solve all your problems. Actually I got two answers that can help.

1) Uninstall Guild Wars 2, this is the simplist one
2) Dont go to Rata Sum and continue doing what you’ve been doing

Huh….is it like that for the other races too?

I would love it if they added new hairstyles to the races!

I didn’t get to see the April Update page, can anyone describe what was on it?

I’m surprised no one even said Sylvari. O_O

Just give portal to everyone…as a mesmer i would be really thankful for that so i will actually bring something else instead of costantly having one less ut skill to chose because you must go with portal + 2..instead of 3…

Share it with other classes or nerf it to the ground making it worthless, lots of mesmer would appreciate that….it would give us way more freedom..

Agreed. Or at least to the classes that need a buff like Necro’s and Engineers. The Sorrow dude doesn’t even know what he is talking about. And really am just about to report this thread as it seems to be just another “this class is OP” thread.

before posting, please. Sorrow doesn’t know what he’s talking about, he’s against the original topic of the thread, he’s gone off on a tangent and finally figured out he was wrong all along.

Make it elite or so that it only affects the Mesmer who cast it.

Did read the OP, what I meant to say was that the thread has been derailed and therefor should be reported as its not going anywhere. Thank you.

Don’t know why people are still arguing over this. Mesmer is so easy to deal with in pvp. Most go a shatter build, just dodge roll the shatters and now they are stuck on cool downs, kill them off there. Also I think people miss the fact of how easy it is to kill the illusions even with illusion buffs when traited. I think the main complainers are people who are either trolling, or were just beaten in pvp against one because they can’t roll. I rarely see Mesmer’s use portal or illusion of life In hot joins. My solution, bring back the old Mesmer mechanics of denial and interrupts and hexes! O3O Seriously though Mesmer’s are to kitten easy to kill and you don’t need them in tournaments, my team doesn’t use one and we do just fine, although I play as the bunker Ele and can just sit there and watch someone try and kill me and lololololol at them because they can’t bring my health bar down. All classes have serious problems, for one theres very few builds. Most Mesmer’s are stuck with shatter builds because of how fast phantasms die, and Ele’s are stuck with the kitten bunker build. Seriously though, have anyone here who is complaining about the Mesmer ever try leveling one? It’s the slowest kitten thing in the game till level 40. So herding Mesmer in PvP nerfs it in PvE and you just make the class worse and worse.

Anyone have any ideas to what this song is that plays during it. Its kind of sad sounding, and mostly piano. I’ve been searching for it but cant seem to find it. :C It plays after you put all the wisps in and no one is fighting.

Yup, their attacks come from the Denial BloodStone. Also in Guild Wars 1 the Assassin’s patron God/Goddess was Lyssa. They were also one of the other classes that was able to use Hexes. The Assassin would later become Thieves in Guild Wars 2! :O

Hi guys, Ill keep it simple.
I have 600 hours on a ranger, and I consider myself to be one of the best rangers around. Recently, I rolled a mesmer and got a build from a friend. At about 5 hours of play time, I far surpassed my skill as a ranger. Without even learning exactly what is going on, I’m already better than I was at 600 hours on another class.. I don’t think thats right.

Complete opposite for me. Played a Mesmer, was doing good in pvp fairly well after learning the class. Rolled a Ranger, I face roll just about every class now. LOL! I cant die either, got Troll Unguent and a lot of other healing skills. OH! And when people think I am downed just have my pet heal me. LOL!

Yea sorry, I got the chainsaw because it was cool looking and the sound it originally made wasn’t obnoxious and made me want to turn the sound off. The original sound was a rumble of sorts, I liked that one. Then they switched it to a loud annoying one that members of my party would want to kick me because its the only greatsword weapon I have. They could just use the old rumbling sound x_x

During the Grenth Statue mission in the curse shore, when I died I heard a different type of song play. It sounded sad, and I know that it wasn’t apart of the cursed shore music, because when I was in a fight it was playing the normal fight music.

I love this new change, I honestly couldn’t use my chainsaw weapon because it kept going off over and over and over. I got so annoyed I had to turn the volume off. I dont mind the sound playing once in AWHILE, but every second was seriously irritating. I love the weapon and the look, the sound is cool to but only in moderation otherwise it makes me want to grind my teeth.

The fire boss in one of the fractals shoots a flame arrow at you that ignites you and repeatedly stacks fire for a short amount of time while also causing agony on you. You can absorb this and send it back at em doing quite a bit of damage and even inflicting agony on the boss, although the agony quickly dispels from him though,

…LeBlanc from Final Fantasy?

This ^^. I thought the exact same thing.

Yeaa men need skimpy stuff. Just go look at the male armory for the castanic in Tera, the guys abs are shown off and the pants are slightly unzipped. Guys need more armor that shows off their body ;D

Somoe.3621:

In my experience
- Bunker Ele’s are roughly as tanky as Bunker Guards
- Bunker Ele’s have MUCH more mobility, AoE, and burst than Bunker Guards
- Bunker Ele’s have MUCH more condition damage (which ignores Toughness, so it’s good against other bunkers) than Bunker Guards
- Bunker Ele’s have arguably more CC and condition removal than Bunker Guards

The only thing Bunker Guards seem to have over Bunker Ele’s currently is superior area control (knock-backs and Wards).

This sums up my entire opinion on the matter. Ele’s need a nerf bad.

Its not mandatory in either of those dungeons. Ive been in groups as a Mesmer, and when it comes to that part with the flaming boulders nobody asks me to put a portal up. They just grab it and go, I think by now people learned how easy it is to get past those….. I actually have to OFFER to put up a portal, and even that gets turned town by Ele’s that can teleport and classes that can run fast. I never use portal in pvp, never saw the use in it and thought it was a waste of an utility. While in PvE I use it a lot to help people out. Same goes for the swamp fractal, in fact I find the using portal MESSES people up more. The parties that I am with get that swamp fractal done with so much faster without portal.

Esplen.3940:

I feel like Elementalists shouldn’t be the only class that has attunement. If you look at the traits, technically all classes are attuned to something in particular.

I feel like Rangers shouldn’t be the only classes with pets. Asurans build golems a lot so why can’t Asurans also get pets? Charr have Warbands, can’t you have them follow you like pets? Etc…

I feel like Warriors shouldn’t be the only class with a huge variety of weapon selection. All classes are “masters” and therefore should be able to improvise skills onto any weapon.

Engineers shouldn’t be the only class that can get 2 utility skills for every utility equipped. Skills have more than one use, therefore skills should utilize them.

Guardians shouldn’t be the only class that has innate party skills, all the classes are meant to synergize (see: storyline) and it doesn’t feel like that if only one class has hard party skills.

I think Thieves shouldn’t be the only class that can have mana with no cooldowns. I think all classes shouldn’t have cooldowns on their weapon skills and just use mana… I mean Initiative… of course… cough

Necromancers shouldn’t be the only class that can… I have no idea anymore, but I think you get my point.

Wow, you nailed exactly what I was going to say. I think Necromancers shouldn’t be the only one with perminant undead minions, I think Mesmer’s Phantasms should also actas minions and have the same health as well, makes it unfair becaue the phantasma die to easily. :C QQ I think Ele’s having a mist form is unfair, I want other classes to also have a mist form, maybe Mesmer’s can have Phantasm form, and Necro’s can have ghastly mist form. QQ Honestly, every class has something that makes them unique, please I hope Anet doesn’t chage that.

I would give it a 2 or a 3. There didn’t seem to be any lore connecting this to Tyria what so ever. We knew little about Tixx other than the fact that he was an Asuran toymaker. The event didn’t seem to affect Tyria in anyway, unlike the Halloween event. The only part I really liked was the JP and the Snowball arena. The music event was cool, but I didn’t find interest in it after awhile because I had the songs already memorized. Having the weapons in the Gem store was awesome probably one of the best things that Arenanet did during this event. Minipets were hard to get as you didn’t have a 100% chance of getting them. The thing that bothered me the most though was the story, Wintersday wasn’t suppose to be all cheery, in fact that’s what separated it from being just a holiday based on Christmas. Wintersday in GW1 was cold, and dark, and wasn’t always cheery especially with the Necromancers turning people into Grentches. Lions Arch also had snow naturally, the cold weather came down from the mountains. It could be that the gods are gone, but there still could have been a celebration to them. I get though having an event based on Humans once again is a bit unfair to the other races but there could have been more racial experiences with that. I wanted to know how the Sylvari felt about Wintersday since they don’t exactly like the cold.

Overall, I like the Halloween event a lot more. But that could just be me, as Halloween is my favorite holiday and I prefer it over a Christmas related one. Wish it could have been a bit less like the tale Santa Clause and more original.

Vancouver Washington, and am on the Crystal Desert server :O

Ilesyt.7084:

I had a similar experience today where a mesmer was shooting spatial surge through the wall AND summoning clones too.

I play a Mesmer as my main, and yes the laser beam from GS #1 still attaches to the opponent through objects, BUT, does no damage. Whenever i do it it keeps saying obstructed or if they are far away it does no damage too. It seems the animation for the skill can be activated at any time but through objects and distance it does no damage.

During the swamp fractal while not in combat there is a really pretty piano song that plays, I cant seem to find it. Any know what it is? I wish I could record a few lines of it.

Btw, love this song its my favorite! Loved it in Guild Wars 1, and still loving it in Guild Wars 2. Carol of the Bells plus the GW theme is awesome

Danikat.8537:

Something is confusing me about the music though. When I first logged on and was in the Trading Post in LA I heard what I’m sure is the Song of Time and Song of Storms from Ocarina of Time playing. It wasn’t part of the background music, was much louder and sounded like it was being played on bells. Anyone else noticed this?

(Also it was possibly the Sun’s Song rather than the Song of Storms, I always confuse those two.)

That would be somebody playing with the Bell item you can get from the Wintersday Boxes, you can play just about any tune as long as its in the key of C.

I just answered this in another thread. I think you were reading the Guild Wars 1 announcement not Guild Wars 2. The GW1 Wintersday event starts tomorrow, gw2 Wintersday begins Friday. o3o

I believe you were reading the GW1 email that was sent out. Their event begins tomorrow, while ours starts friday. :O

Uhh obviously you didn’t see the reddit for gw2 on Halloween. People praised the event and thought the Jp was great! The only reason why you saw complaining threads was because the gw2 forums are where people come and whine to get their way. I’m not saying they were done flawlessly because nothing is flawless, your not a realist if you believe something can be flawless. The Jp wasn’t required but people like free handouts so they complain, huh if you want guild wars to be like the welfare line then that’s our own opinion. But don’t call ourself a realist if you want events to be without their flaws.

Morningglory.7395:

i noticed the problem about searching for a healer or tank in raids and I don’t know how to fix that problem other than remove it. As dps (played that for a while too in WoW) i know the problem. But it’s a bit unfair to disable healers becouse of queues. just wanted to show my opinion

You liked being a Healer? When I played WoW I played as a healer class, and I hated it on there. I groups no matter what the Healer was always at fault, I’d be kittened at, even got sent death threats because a DPS player or a Tank couldn’t pull their own weight. At least on GW2 if I play a support class its helpful and fun! I dont get yelled at because even if I do support people are expected to pull their own weight. I love this! I hope you have fun searching for another game though. o3o

From the preview it doesn’t even look like all of LA will be covered in snow. But I could be wrong. All I see in the center and there is snow. But in the beginning opening to the preview I don’t see what covered ground to the left and to the right of the center.

Umm with the way that it says “With festive town clothes, wintery weapon skins, and chests full of holiday treasures” makes it sound like you can just buy the weapon skins from the gem store and that the boxes will be filled with other holiday treats. So I dont see whats wrong there. As for the other events I think Halloween went just fine. All that was complained about really was the Chests and the Clock Tower, although people only complained about the Clock Tower because they refused to try and want things to be easy so they can ruin events for the rest of us who enjoy some challenge. But then again people are always like that, trying to ruin challenges and make them easier. I don’t think your right one bit. Just look at other MMO’s and their events? For Halloween all WoW does it throw some pumpkins around, maybe a headless man and call it good. Halloween on GW2 completely changed the environment not only that but added fun new Halloween related PvP games that I have never seen other games do.

tldr; Things shouldn’t be handed to you, I believe you are wrong on your assumption, but that is my opinion and I am entitled to one just like you. I hope the jumping puzzle is challenging and hard. o3o

Wow, this is hilarious. People cant make up their minds, do they want information? Or do they want it hidden? Last time I checked people complained the exact opposite about the Halloween event. LOLOLOOL

Saraneth.6021:

Since when did people start believing things written on wikis? It doesn’t show that in game.

Actually it was in Beta. The number one skill would summon a clone at the third hit and that clone would cause confusion. It was removed but the tooltip wasn’t changed until later.

As someone who loves both horizontal and vertical progression: Yay.

Seriously, some of us like having something to strive for in games.

Yay, numbers get bigger! So satisfying, such an amazing sense of progression.

By the way, ProgressQuest and WoW exist. If you play MMOs too “see the numbars get biggar”, you can always play them, since they cater exclusively to that mentality.

Aint nobody gots time for that >:T

Her eyes were suppose to be light pink. This happens with any Sylvari I make, during the day they just look creepy. But at night you can see their eyes much better, as well as their glow.

Does anyone else have this problem? Why is it during the day, my Sylvari’s eyes look completely black unlike the other races whose eyes seem to glow 24/7. I know its not a big issue, but it just looks creepy. Especially when she smiles. o-o

Longer hairstyles for guys. So far they only have short ones and a ponytail looking one. Guys cold use some long hairstyles made of leaves, something that cascades.

This song to play again! This song was so awesome to hear, especially how its the GW 1 theme and Carol of the Bells put together.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPpYfUi7JEY

I also hope they bring back this song from guild wars 1. Played in LA during a Wintersday.

#/watch?v=XPpYfUi7JEY&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DXPpYfUi7JEY

I can’t wait! Now that they have left the world, maybe it’ll just be the priests dueling it out over which god is better. I really hope they continue the tradition of the old Wintersday, where it is about Dwayna and Grenth.

I would like to know more about the upcoming Wintersday :/ or a hint o3o

The tilted cube and platforms don’t help either, especially the see through platforms. I feel dizzy doing that Asura one, have to take my time and try not to look down.

I’m having a hard time setting one up. Even with phantasmal haste I don’t feel like phantasms are viable in dungeons because of how fast they die. Got any suggestions? Currently I am using a GS and a Scepter/pistol as weapons.

Amulrei.4973:

I fail to see how there is any “confusion”. A few people wanted the game to introduce WoW-like elements. AN ignored the majority of the player base and went ahead to do so even in the face of massive opposition.

So what am I doing? I will be going back to WoW. If I am going to have WoW-elements forced upon me, I might as well do it in a game that is designed around it. Also as a PvP fan I find the admission that the entire class balancing/testing is handled by two people comical if also downright depressing. I’ve seen higher quality standards in indy titles.

Either way, I suggest people opposed to the new “form” AN is taking to do whatever they feel comfortable with. If you are unhappy with the direction GW2 and AN are taking, find a game which does satisfy you. We have done pretty much all we can to make our voices heard but AN refuse to address to issue and seem content in letting a successful MMO slowly bleed out. They have proven to be both untrustworthy and disinterested in what the majority of players have to say so there is little hope in getting them to see reason.

It is a crying shame to see so much potential go to waste but that is the cards AN have dealt. There is little point getting emotionally invested in the situation any more when AN themselves have shown they simply do not care about the majority of players or even their own design tenants.

A few rings and a back item seems hardly a reason to quit a game. My confusion is with these forums. A month ago all I saw was forums saying “End game is boring, quitting guild wars, nothing fun to do anymore, by guys.” And then continue complaining. Its as if half of the userbase wants progression and the other half doesn’t. Or at least that’s what it looked like to me. It isn’t just the majority of people, I see an equal amount of people praising the idea. They just dont post about it on the forums because they dont want it to change, while those who dont like it post on the forums hoping Anet listens to them. I understand that they might add an armor set, and hopefully they dont. But all I see are others arguing over a few rings that you can even see, and a ugly back item.

Honestly, all I’ve seen on the forums are just whining and complaining rather than constructive feedback. People complained and threatened to quit because GW2 didn’t have a endgame. Now they added a form of endgame, and people are complaining and threatening to quit again because of gear progression. Honestly if I was Anet, I would be confused as hell to what people wanted done. Whats your suggestions, and constructive feedback, on how you’d change this without a single person complaining? How would you change the game?

As for the gear progression, isn’t the new items just rings and a back item? I have not seen the Ascended armor set, unless someone can prove me wrong on this. I dont see a problem with ascended items being added.
