Guild Wars 2

People can stand zerker meta for almost 3 years, but when condis go strong it’s all “oh mai gahd nerffzz pl0x”.

Oh… that would be awesome! 9 in 10 friends who missed LS1 wish they could’ve played this chapter.

On the same topic, don’t you guys try to strictly follow old builds, many things will have to be adjusted! The meta is changing at an alarming rate! hahah

As someone who helped a friend animate a game. WINGS TAKE EFFORT
BUT NOT SO MUCH THAT FLOPPY PAPER WINGS ARE OK.

It would be a four kittenig, dynamics for the feathers, with a 100 frame cycle, tops, shouldn’t take more then two weeks to do, at DISNEY QUALITY. Could probs be done in a week, honestly.

grumble

My guess is because there aren’t enough people to look into these stuff.

You’re confusing UNLOCKING skills and traits with RE-SPECING traits (there ain’t such a thing as “respec skills”, you just choose them from skill bar).

I will look into a refund aswell. I couldn’t anticipate it would break the animation, I took it would be the same as black one. It was a poor fix indeed.

Things aren’t scaling well. I’ll have to check in tonight once I get home, but maybe we’re at the start of mixed stats sets. ugh…

The animation looks like bubblegum (couldn’t they make the wings flap like daydreamer’s?). I regret buying them LOL

I have also deleted my keys long ago. Guess there will be another way to get them yes.

+1 Gambling MF is not enough! hahah

You know, many people (me included) can’t afford Deluxe Edition now, so I pre-purchased since I don’t foresee that money available for spending in an xpac right now. I’m glad it’s available in the GemStore.

I know quite a lot of guildies who would buy deluxe if it included SAB glider hahah

ExiledDiclonius.1653:

SAB Glider. Good joke. You know SAB is dead right?

Don’t you say that!

Vissarion.6509:

You think ncsoft will loose the chance to make tons of moneys out of gliders? O.o

Expect to see them only in gem store)

Now where is my SAB themed glider?? take my money

Dem! Now that I think about it I want a SAB glider so bad. _

Not this again…

Sigil of Energy will be mandatory I guess.

Are good damage condi builds really off table for eles? Because condi damage sucks many times right now.

I like new info. What I dislike is that they haven’t given us a comprehensive and detailed information on Hero Points quantity and distribution. Like, we’ll get 400 by reaching level 80, but how paced will these points be? Will they be given by Level-up rewards? This is what I’d like to see in advance…

After all the rage, I think that in the end it’s all whining. They could change the price, or add an extra character slot, but in the end whining won’t achieve anything.

Time to blaze a trail, Maguuma explorers!

In the register page it displays we have the core game and show HoT as an upgrade, so yeah, it is attached to your current ID (and it won’t change). The question regarding the serial is unknown to me, but I would guess our accounts are validated by any of the serials we have, eg. when submitting a ticket, either of the serials (core or HoT xpac) would be valid for your account.

ANet could surprise us and convert our beta slot into a normal slot once HoT is released.

We feel entitled to stuff, mindlessly demanding things… I think we should sit and think about what we’re asking, and see if it’s too HORRIBLE if we don’t get it. It’s not like we’ll lose an arm if we don’t get a character slot. You can farm gold, convert to gem, and buy it. I don’t want ArenaNet to remove core game from prepurchasers.

You may do, I do not, please don’t generalise and include me in your thought processes

k thx ta

I am not generalizing. Notice how I speak by myself and the use of “should”.

olTThreelo.6710:

Gamers still pre-ordering games huh?

“There is a sucker born every minute.”

“You must’ve been one.”

I watched the twitch and I liked Guild Halls, plus what they’ve shown is fine for me, so yeah I pre-purchased and I will participate in the betas now. My friends are quickly pre-purchasing too after what they’ve seen for Guild Halls. Get over it.

It had an effect on my part for sure. Guild Halls is a very massive system. Everyone knows the great memories are built from within guild adventures (raids anyone?), so I’m looking forward to it. I just wanted them to clarify what will happen to our guild unlocks, will they be simply erased and nothing given in return? I ask that because they require a lot of commitment from the guild as a whole.

ColinJohanson.2394:

Just want to clarify since I saw this come up a couple of times in this thread and we haven’t actually released our full official patch notes for 6/23 yet….

Ascended Gear will be staying 5% better than Exotic Gear. Gear beyond the tiers we already have are not going to be added and our existing tiers won’t change, they won’t be our main end-game form of progression for your characters/account for all the reasons we’ve covered before – it isn’t what we think Gw2 is about.

Masteries is being added to PvE to help provide this system as our form of progression for PvE moving forward, and the WvW ability system exists for WvW and will be what we use to expand WvW in the future.

To more directly answer some of your point….We are adding a system that lets you change the stats for your ascended gear (weapons and armor) next Tuesday – which will cost a combination of 10 spirit shards, piece you don’t want anymore, 5 ectos, and an exotic insignia of the stats you want to convert to. Legendary Gear will remain the gear that can freely change stats any time.

-CJ
(Edited to clarify weapons and armor)

Wait a minute… Legendary Gear, as in armor??? :o

@fabd.7026, slopes are for the weaks!

So, no point in unlocking stuff to lose Spirit Shards. Nice to know.

Did he… did he just accept this idea and implement it? :O

Wow… is he really an ANet dev? xD

I want them to make use of the frigging maps… ok, HoT is cool and all, and I may play it a lot, but there are so many beautiful landscapes which go unused such as Timberline Falls mountains with jaw-dropping views.

I’ll take that since it’s not in the FAQ, there will not be a headstart period then.

I wish I could’ve bought Deluxe version, but luckily I’ll be able to upgrade as it’s stated in the FAQ.

Agreeing with OP.

Guild-oriented stuff is the most interesting part of an MMO. Even raids aren’t that glorious if it’s not guild-related.

From this interview:

• There will be “a bunch of gameplay associated with that” (I think about Wildstar’s housing items which triggers personal dungeons, or maybe jumping puzzles?)
• “You can purchase decorations” (GemStore decorations, which is expected)
• “You can also find materials out in the world which unlock recipes to refine decorations”, “variations”, “and more interesting types” (Guild crafting disciplines? There could be decoration crafting using all kinds of common materials, as well as specific Maguuma materials! Maybe the upgrade panel now displays different disciplines to be levelled, and maybe some of that will be rewards from raids)

From this another interview:

• Will there be silly decorations? Possibly!

What are your thoughts, guys?

Evans.6347:

Actually, I hope they will add stuff like daily gathering in the guild halls. I never liked what home instances had become and I feel like it’s time for guild halls to take over it’s function.

But that’s just my personal idea. Of course there are people who don’t want to be part of a big guild and these people are just as entitled to having a good time.

Actually this is a kitten awesome idea! Shared nodes in the Guild Halls!

I would like to know this aswell.

I was mad at first, but then I just screamed “Kitten this crap! I’m buying this thing and that’s it!”. It’s not like I won’t be able to feed my children if I spend the 50 bucks, even if in my country the conversion rate is over 3:1.

[joke]This is Guild Wars, not Home Instance Wars![/joke]

HoangAn.2085:

You are already invited to all the betas not sure if that counts?

That’s different. BWEs are just for testing. When GW2 first launched we had a 3-day headstart (anticipated access) for pre-purchasers, and I’m wondering if this may be the case for HoT too.

Will there be a headstart period for pre-purchasers?

eaxe.8570:

Congrats-see you n the Jungle

The sad thing for me (emphasys in “for me”) is that the conversion rate is over 3:1, but in reality I know it’s not that expensive. :/

Valento.9852:

Same here (around 3.2x), but I expect to buy at least standard.

Done.

Jaetara.4075:

The prices are pretty high for my county’s standards, so I ’ll need sometime till I ’ll be able to purchase the Standard edition, but happy for you guys!

Same here (around 3.2x), but I expect to buy at least standard.

In my country we’ll pay 3.2 times more for the xpac (think around “$160”)… oh well.

Then they try to soften the anger by openly stating “core game is a FREE BONUS, xpac is INDEED $50 alone”. lol wtf

I can’t help but notice there is a promo code field in the purchase page. How about if you give people who already own the game (or at least pre-purchasers of the base game) a promo code so the price can be reduced to $30?

They’re unable to balance elementalists. They can’t. Eles have been losing their identity for a long time, it will render the class crappy and generic very soon.

I agree we’re cornered to cookie cutter builds.

The toxic pollen debuff was quite interesting, though… seeing illusions and such.
