Guild Wars 2

I don’t see anything wrong with it? Krytan Forager, Queensdale events and WvW Caravan can be done within 10 minutes.

It is very short. A few seconds tops. It is easy to determine in Silverwastes during Breaches.

I am no pro, but I like:

Spirit Watch
Silent Storm
Forest
Khylo
Skyhammer
Foefire

Since this is announced, I suppose now I can say this. If you won the contest please let me know if you put Emilane or Jennah as the answer. That question bugged me the most but I answered Emilane cuz Jennah didn’t descend from Salma.

Setting skills on auto cast no longer works. There has to be player input. I tried this last week at Tequatl, went to dinner, came back and kicked for afk.

I like all the names… and the themes that fit :x

Probs Curses, I want Banshee’s Wail but the Grandmasters do not fitwith Power

Kal Spiro.9745:

Warcry.1596:

Even if he afks through an event, if nothing related to his character participate in an event, pet, some trait, etc, it will not include him in scaling, and he will receive no credit.

tl;dr, afk people do not scale events.

Pretty sure that’s not how scaling is designed. Whether or not people are participating, if they are in the area the event assumes they’re going to participate and reacts accordingly.

Regarding Dynamic Events:

Scaling

Events can detect that players have not performed any actions relating to the event within a period of time and will scale down the event accordingly.

I have researched how events work intensively, I have seen it work this way.

Edit: Forgot to source: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dynamic_event#Event_participation

And I know anyone is able to edit the wiki, but I have seen what is posted here to be true.

Even if he afks through an event, if nothing related to his character participate in an event, pet, some trait, etc, it will not include him in scaling, and he will receive no credit.

tl;dr, afk people do not scale events.

I don’t think it was stupid in Smash. A band-aid solution maybe, but it needed to be done. Or something did.

In this game, I don’t think we need something like this.

My necro’s name is Cascade, my guildies think it would be funny if it was called “Palmolive”.

I was certain of 9, the question regarding the descendent of Doric and Salma I am sure I had right per the lore, but it was not the most popular answer. Do not answer the question here, though the contest is over, they may wanna wait to reveal answers. PM me if you wanna discuss answers.

I was in the first beta and received no chest. Regina commented saying it was for people who bought some version of the game, STX or something, that is no longer purchasable, at least to my understanding.

I am sure they are wells, affected by trait selection in Chronomancer line. If they were Glamours then it’d follow that people would trait into Glamours as well everytime.

I HATE mesmer and I’m excited about this.

smilko.4056:

and continuum sounds great if you’re having trouble with jumping puzzle use it, jump, fail, use it again and you’re back where you started

The changes sound amazing for wvw and pvp, but with the lack of phantasms, on x/shield setup, which are a major part of mesmer’s pve damage, I wonder if the wells and shield skills pack enough punch to compensate. Otherwise I dont see myself running Shield outside pvp or wvw.

Don’t you need clones to shatter to use Continuum? In a Jumping Puzzle you will often not be in combat to have any

Of course not, I lead my own guild for dungeon shenanigans. If we have 4 and we gotta pug, then if they are looking for super fast meta go go times, they will be disappointed.

I will not pretend to speak for everyone, but only myself. I have no interest is going through content fast. I enjoy playing this way, and it is a much bigger challenge for me than breezing through stuff. I play for the challenge, not the stuffs, if i wanted stuff at less of a challenge, I would have enjoyed Guild Wars 1 more.

I would also like to be partake!

I even have some questions myself if you need some!

Walls don’t apply boons to nearby allies.
Walls don’t apply conditons and crowd control.
Walls don’t heal nearby allies.

One thing people are seeming to forget is the specialization traitline is coming out, adding a new set of traits. With 6 lines, there are 18 possible combinations, but that doesnt include the 9 traits per line. How it is now, many traits are used just to get to the Grandmaster despite being worthless. With this new system, most (NOTE: most), lines have a trait in each tier to cover what you want. If a line doesn’t, you don’t use that line.

Also, with each new specialization added as the game ages, it will have MORE combinations. We should go into this with an open mind, I for one, as a necro player, am excited for whats to come.

I am with Teladis, I find them welcoming. Only sad thing is I can no longer use Lingering Curse and Parasitic Contagion together. Terror being Grandmaster is probably the only thing I found overly hurtful.

Not immediate, but events have checks every few seconds to see participation. Dead people can stay dead without fear of scaling a boss.

For Death Shroud, maybe they will make it a toggle, while it is on, attacks have some sort of bonus effect consuming a % of Life Force with each successful attack., or blocked, evaded, blinded., but you cannot gain Life Force while toggled.

Or maybe a way to consume it to heal yourself. I dunno, those are just two ideas.

What do you mean no word from ArenaNet?

Evan Lesh.3295:

We absolutely want to make build templates. They could work similar to GW1, but there are more components to a build now. Using the old string-code method may prove to be unwieldy.

Things that must be in a template:

• Weapons
• Sigils
• Rune
• Amulet
• Skills
• Traits

What could be in a template:

• Skins
• Dyes
• Outfit
• Finisher

Things to consider:

• Sharing (chat links? codes? urls?)
• Viewing (seeing some else’s vs. seeing your own)
• Saving (notepad vs. local vs. account vs. web)
• Building (one spot in UI vs. multiple spots)
• Websites (third-party sites should work with in-game)
• APIs (Could expose an API to third-parties)
• PvP vs PvE vs WvW (each mode requires different configuration options)

How would you like to see any/all of these work?

I don’t know what that means, I just know not everything in the Chinese client comes over to us.

Please?

Necromancer. I started Thief, and love it, but my Necro has never felt repetitive or bland, despite running the same skill set for 2.5 years.

I dual wield axes on my Warrior, swapping to Rifle if I need range.

My Necro uses an Axe.

Mesmer uses dual Swords and Sword/Focus.

My Guardian uses Mace/Shield.

I guess I am a minority?

I traited 6 into Blood Magic 2.5 years ago when I learned about Wells. I love the life stealing sustain it provides. In PvP rune of the Scholar with vanpiric traits i was called tanky, despite being Berserker. In PvE, due to my laziness about mechanics, it helps me be lazy in Frac 50s and such.

Rifle, Berserker, Runes of Strength

HGH/Grenadier. I love it. Sure not meta, but fun. Too bad Toss Elixir B is bugged and won’t work with HGH though

Posting for a friend whom cannot access the forums.

Ticket #:1381263

She was perma banned a week ago for gold selling when all she did was send materials and gold to her husband, has heard nothing except the automatic message saying they will look into it and an automatic message saying she should change her password. No word about her account being unbanned, which it still is inaccessible.

So does this mean that if I directly mail 500 gold from my account to another’s account I will be able to without being permanently banned? I ask because I have mailed less than this, on two separate occasions, both receiving permanent bans for gold selling. Obviously, these were overturned and deemed mistakes by support, but it was an inconvenience to deal with.

It’s because of this and:

BlackTruth.6813:

Because playing as a DPS takes actual skill. Not like Power Necro, Ranger or Guardian with their infinite evades and instant cast offense and defense.

So basically Necromancers get an infinite supply of a useless mechanic!

So you can run into your home now and farm 9 and you will not seek out the last one ore/wood/plant? Hmm that’sounds lazy (sorry to be honest)

You need only pass 1 ore in an appropriate area. When your doing WBs, of doing a dungeon run you should see one already.

You do realize the gemstore sells convenience and cosmetic. I paid money for convenience. I didn’t pay to be inconvenienced.

ANet customer support do not have the tools to remove the nodes from my home instance, so I cannot get a refund for it.

So because you paid them money, you are entitled to easier dailies?

If anything, I’d prefer it to be “Daily Gatherer” like it was at one point, where one can gather from any node, but up the requirement to 20 or something.

With the spelling and grammatical errors, I can hardly understand what this says. =/

Well of Blood’s ticks, Sig of Vamp’s passives, both on hit and if you are hit, and Blood Fiend’s life steal, along with siphons should work. Why use Well of Blood if I’m being spiked, only to need Death Shroud while its still pulsing, I waste some of my heal.

It should pulse one stack for one second every two seconds while in Death Shroud. That way, it feels Grandmaster, but isn’t broken I don’t think.

Well bye then. As someone with 50% of his hours on Thief, the change makes sense, whether it’s a favorable one or not.

Provide examples of what you want Reanne, I for one enjoy this system.

Sounds like you need to add Daily Achievements to your daily routine instead of complaining on the forums

Cascade – Necro name
<——- – Account name
PvE
1 Necro

Between Necro and Thief i am torn as to which i like more. I am also already in 5 guilds, when i get home ill fix that.

- Allow Life Siphoning, Well of Blood’s ticks, Signet of Vampirism’s active siphon, and Blood Fiend’s auto attack healing to heal through Death Shroud.

- Collectible section for stuff like Geodes, Bandit Crests and Blade Shards

Blade Shards are used in the Mystic Forge, so unless they were to implement a way to pull stuff out of the Wallet, those wouldn’t work in there.

dlonie.6547:

So my question to you, and please understand that this is genuine curiosity and not snark:

How do you see the specialist program benefiting either side (players and ANet)? (…)

First, I hope this program can make a difference as well. I wouldn’t have signed up for it in the first place if I felt like it was wasted effort. The problem in the past is that the community team would look at threads without intimate knowledge of the community, dungeons, or fractals, try and decide what was important, and then communicate that to the actual GW2 developers and designers. This resulted in a mish-mash of things getting to the developers, which resulted historically in things like Aetherpath. Aetherpath, for context, has been poorly received by the community on the whole because of time-gating and puzzles that rely minimally on combat expertise and just drag things out.

Flash forward to the fractal CDI, and with heavy involvement in the community they were able to distill some good changes for things like the Dredge fractal. That took a huge amount of actual developer time, though, and while the CDIs are very effective, they’re unsustainable as a constant feed into what matters. That’s where this program comes in. Take someone who already knows the community and already has his or her finger on the pulse of what people want, have them serve as the “collector and reporter of things”, and then have them report to the developers. This, in principle, will result in valuable, distilled input going to the developers to make informed decisions based on the exact specifics, resulting in quality changes to the content in ways we actually want them.

content

See, I like Aetherpath. Mechanic heavy content is what we need. Puzzles and fights would add challenge more than just new bosses. Add mechanics to bosses that HAD to occur or the boss would win. Stacking in a corner is not depth nor challenging.

Pinkamena Diane Pie.8054:

Marmatt, your stats and post history are the problem!

A lot of players here will have 5000+ hours, rank 1700+, 14k+ AP, and over 125k+ kills! And over 12 pages of posts in their forums profile section, where almost all of their posts are in the WvW Discussions section!

Someone who really represents the WvW community will have at least 1 banned account, and a second which lots of infractions and temporary suspensions, and a third account ready for when their 2nd is also banned. Why? Because these people are willing to argue with the mods and devs and are not afraid to put their honest opinions forward, even if they are opinions anet does not like!

Don’t blame him for being selected. But, your parameters are whack. I meet nome of those except kills. I seldom post on the forums and NEVER in this section, but that doesnt mean I am not dedicated to WvW. As for banned accounts, that should not be a badge of honor, like you are saying it should be, but instead an embarassment. I am fully aware of issues in WvW but also am content with how it is. Changes are nice, sure, but in my experience as someone who, now mostly just roams and havocs for the same server since beta, I enjoy it.

Back on topic: he doesnt HAVE to know ANYTHING about WvW to be a forum specialist. I couldnt answer those questions and I’m over rank 1000. His job is to relay information between players and ArenaNet. You dont need knowledge on the subject to do that

Necromancer. I put Wells as my utilities and Heal at level 20 and never looked back. I only swap away from it because Sinister is fun to. But I will never change my Power set up.
