Guild Wars 2

LucosTheDutch.4819:

Well there is only so much you can do in GW2 before the game becomes incredibly stale and boring, especially with the lack of any real content updates. Personally I just log in to do my dailies and then I’m off again (sometimes I don’t even bother to do even that and just log in to get the daily reward).

I won’t be really playing GW2 until HoT comes out. I expect a lot of people feel the same way.

Same, could have used a xpac a year ago. Pretty maxed out in this game and don’t want to burn out before HoT. Log in for Tequatl that’s it. It’s a nice break checking out other games; swtor story and leveling a character in W* waiting for news on their new play model.

.but a combat proc (visual on wielder or opponent) would be pretty cool, and more legendary without a damage boost.

Hmm .. something like that ?

I don’t have that legend, but aren’t all legends effects animation based? I’m talking about a proc on hit based off a %.

For example, without much thought, Twilight would proc devil horns/wings/tail, or Kudzu would cause animation like branches coming from the wielders back like Rangers spirits or the human racial Avatar of Melandru. They would only last for X amount of seconds.

I have no opinion either way on a stat increase…but a combat proc (visual on wielder or opponent) would be pretty cool, and more legendary without a damage boost.

Scorpion.2430:

guys i’m a totally new player here in the game and i saw that there’s a lot of details i don’t know how to start actually how to play PVP , how to play WvW, what’s the best weapons for each profession and how to leveling as good ???

actually it’s a lot of questions i need to ask so i need ur guide .

Hoaxintelligence.4628:

Ehh why is this not free? I missed that season so now everything is going to be pay to play?

It’s free if you logged in during the time of the chapter’s lifecycle, and still is if you don’t care for the achievements and ascended jewelry. Mawdrey (back) the stats are selectable, and if I remember right the jewelry is Pow/Prec/Cond & Tough/Vit/Healing.

If you just want to play through the story have a friend/guildy that has completed LS2 take you through it.

you tease Anet

“These traditional hylek have come to Maguuma to forcibly convert the Itzel and Nuhoch back to worshipping their sun god, Zintl. Led by charismatic demagogues and mounted* on giant beetles, the Zintl fanatics have begun a brutal campaign of terror and manipulation to force the Itzel and the Nuhoch into recanting their faith in Ameyalli in favor of Zintl.”

“* Zintl fanatics and their beetles do not use a proper mount system but instead share animations and a single health pool.”

Play another game til HoT. I login for my reward and Tequatl once a day as I’m pretty maxed out in this game, awhile ago.

Keeping it in the NCsoft family I play W* for everything GW is not. Both great games.

I have been farming Tequatl 1-2 times a day since the revamp (2013) and just recently got a Sunless skin a few weeks ago. In that time one Sunless mini, and two ascended boxes in almost two years. Not so lucky I suppose when it comes to Taco loot, but I’m sure others have had it worse.

It’s a easy boss that takes little effort, hang in there.

Asura would have been great (imo) if their height slider was the same as a human.
Charr should be redesigned. Hunchback mutant from TMNT.
Norn height slider at minimum is human to me.
Human male are…pretty/anime.

Tengu and Centaur please!

I’m sorry, but I can’t help but lol at some of the reasons people mention they dislike a certain character type.

From above, it’s basically:

“I don’t like Asura because they are short!”
hmm, they aren’t the first race type distinguished by being diminutive (Gnomes, Dwarves, Hobbits, etc). But shortness isn’t even their major defining feature!

“I don’t like Charr because they don’t stand like humans!”
I’ll just leave that statement at that lol

“Human males are too pretty!”
I’m sure options exists for a reason. Just pick the non-pretty face.

Asura I can’t see armor/weapons in a heavily cosmetic oriented game.
Charr are a mess of clipping issues.
Human male face features are not the only reason, I find their running and animations feminine.

I don’t play any of those races, and have no plans to do so…and If you’re unaware players will have different opinions.

Most anti dueling crowds hyperbole the dueling feature as some exaggerated personal attack on their rpg…mmo experience. Debating a dueling feature w/the anti dueling crowd is pointless as it’s ok for costume brawls and annoying obnoxious gem store toys everywhere...but dueling that will turn the world of Tyria upside down! Sure

Open world dueling-Yes
Opt-out duel request box in options-Yes
No dueling allowed in major hubs (LA, Divinity Reach, etc…)-Yes

Really no need to compromise anything, If Anet feels this feature will benefit the community, entice new players, and retain bored ones between content drops it should be a go.

Expect many more of these dueling request posts to pop up as HoT brings in new players.

Asura would have been great (imo) if their height slider was the same as a human.

a good thing,

Ten Ton Hammer: Lastly, now that you’ve implemented Guild Halls and Guild versus Guild (sort of) can we expect a change of heart and the arrival of capes?

Colin: This isn’t really a “change of heart” kind of deal. I haven’t met anyone yet at ArenaNet who is against the concept of capes! It’s just that capes currently don’t work with our animation and armor system. Hopefully someday that can change – cause capes are awesome.

Aktium.9506:

Are you all forgetting that the code needed for dueling is already in the game?

this?

I would prefer no actual death. Maybe on stomp (because we still want to use our finishers) the duel would be over and your opponent would rally to 100%.

Astralporing.1957:

Yes, that’s the often brought up Colin quote, that (like a ton of other dev quotes) was never followed by any in-game development. Don’t count on it having any importance for the future.

Precursor crafting is mentioned right before the dueling response. Like other features/content when it’s ready and to Anet expectations they will release it, and if not they won’t.

Fast forward to 14:11

May have more with unannounced specializations also.

Some leisurely activities I would like to see,

Tyria card game (played ingame (Sabacc)) similar to how Belcher’s Bluff table interacts. An item bought that can be brought out anytime, 2-4 players.

Dueling. I like watching, participating, and the social aspect including a stress free no dying combat mode.

Fishing of course! Fun with friends, and the immersion factor of participating or just running around seeing others fish.

I keep everything in hopes we will get Ascended Salvage kit, at this point I don’t care if it’s even through the gem store. I posted this in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Suggestions-Gemstore-Items/page/40

Ascended Salvage Kit

Single-Single use Ascended Salvage Kit
Six -Pack of Six

Ascended Salvage Kit breaks down Ascended Armor and Ascended Weapons returning materials to the player.

Example Armor (Medium)
Zojja’s Guise (coat)
Vision Crystalx1
Zojja’s Berserker Insigniax1
Elonian Longcoat Paddingx1
Elonian Longcoat Panelx1
Runex1

Example Weapon (Huntsman)
Zojja’s Revolver
Zojja’s Berserker Inscriptionx1
Deldrimor Steel Pistol Barrelx1
Spiritwood Pistol Framex1
Vision Crystalx1
Sigilx1

Possible use for Jewelry.

Outfits
I would like to suggest every piece of an outfit to have the option to toggle off, but also show the armor below when toggled off. This would make outfits more versatile customizing with a character’s current wardrobe selection beneath.

Wardrobe/Armor
I also suggest allowing players to use all types of armor skins from wardrobe no matter the profession. I think allowing this would create a deeper investment into the game when it comes to the skin/wardrobe feature.

I’m sure these are not new ideas so thanks for taking the time to read.

AsiraasiB.7165:

what the heck a rifle has to do with thief….
shouldnt rangers get rifles?
I was hoping for long bow.. 1200 range …..

hell maybe even shield(jk).. but really, what does a loud rifle have to do with thieves

We don’t know for sure Thief is getting the rifle, or do we? I can see the Thief getting the rifle with the specialization of a Sniper archetype.

and the Ranger profession in a later expansion may get the use of a rifle through the specialization of a Hunter.

Gern.2978:

snip*

How can it possibly be justified that this ability does not require restrictions to it like a warrior’s “hundred blades?”

It does have restrictions. To get the most out of a LB Ranger you have to use Steady Focus, Eagle Eye, Read the Wind*, Quick Draw, and a minor Hunters Tactics or major Strength of Spirit…and a spread of Zerk gear. All that to be proficient ranged power/crit build for one weapon w/little to survive on.

Not like we can rely too much out of pet damage outside of a condition.

Immobilize removal-Overcharged Shot, Elixir R, Rocket Boots, Leg Mods (trait), Cloaking Device (trait), as Im sure you already know.

really want us to watch that PoI huh

dunzees.2489:

Thanks for your feedback.

I assumed it was sub-optimal, but I wasn’t sure how bad. Does any utility of the longbow shots make up for the loss in damage from playing close and not using conditions via shortbow?

What about for the second weapon set? I assume dagger offhand is most optimal because of the extra evade and another ranged condi ability.

How about greatsword instead of sword/x?

Help a noob out. Are there videos or guides anywhere that might be useful?

http://metabattle.com/wiki/MetaBattle_Wiki

my 2 cents~

I rez downed players in WvW & PvE
I rez dead players in WvW
I never rez dead players in PvE while in combat.

UnknownRH.4592:

To OP:
Nope looks like Anet will shove down are throats a recap of the LS that majority of players have played. I think I might be giving up on this.

This aint coming any sooner.

Yup I think this will be my first PoI I skip. I will just wait for the transcript on dulfys or for HoT to play through the story.

I had a great time w/GW2 April Fools joke! Logged for a Tequatl kill, and played SWTOR for the evening. Never thought GW2 would be the reason to dust off my guardian.

Im glad some had fun….and this passes soon, now maybe we can get the skill timing fixed among a plethora of more important things instead of this divisive ingame “holiday” acknowledged by 2nd graders in the real world?

Suggestion Anet

Please run the numbers and find out if you had a dip in players ingame tonight and a drop in cash shop sales.

If so please stop doing April Fools events that effect our character models.

Blue.1207:

Game is an annoyance to play. Did my dailies and logged off. Terrible idea not to have a toggle.

People QQing about it is the funniest part

I know, right?

If something like THIS can completely ruin your whole day… you need some perspective in your life

Honestly, i was looking forward to doing dungeons tonight. That wont be happening. Cant see the animations of my character, which is irritating beyond all belief. How dare some of us want stuff thats fun for an entire day.

Why would you need to see the animations of your own character in order to fight properly? I sure don’t.

Do you really need to sit on these forums attacking paying customer comments towards Anet? Dont you have a game to play?

and considering combat animations are one of the main attractions to this game..ya I do need them to fight properly.

Anyway to turn this off? Who and what meeting thought this was a good idea?

nacario.9417:

I care about duels and hope to see it added to open world I also see players in open world commenting about it and wanting it. And those who often are against it usually tend to be those who arnt focusing on pvp. I wish devs could give some sneak peak as of their standing on this request as it pops up now n then.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

2) gold can be sent freely between accounts without the time or quantity limits the game now has and the 500 gold limit/week being suggested.

I believe the limit being suggested is 500 gold per single item of mail, not per week.

“The maximum total amount of gold that an individual player account can accept in a week will be 500 gold.”

Sounds like a lot of effort.

I would love an upgrade possibility for ascended armor similar to how back pieces are done. No need to be legendary as for aesthetics, but a drop down menu to change stats out of combat would be nice considering the investment put into these.

suffish.4150:

While I am sure this will be very good to prevent gold selling and the like, I also think it would be bad for those who like to trade through mail to avoid TP fees. Personally I only use the TP and I know mail trading is not recommended, but some people do trade valuable items such as precursors through mail which will prove impossible after these changes and mail trading precursors is beneficial for both sides provided they both give what they agree to. Again this will only be a positive for me though, so I am definitely not complaining about this!

A second or third GW2 account is not uncommon especially after the sales, not sure this will make a bump in player to player transactions.

I just power leveled a Thief 1-80 under a few minutes this week to get a better idea how this profession works in WvW.

It’s a pretty easy profession to play well, and won almost every encounter I came across except a really good mesmer that had me running…I ran, healed, and came back for the kill. The mesmer would have had me, cd’s won that fight is all.

I played as a d/p-d/d, and d/p-sb build (0,6,6,2,0 zerk/valk), unless my target was built for support it was a pretty easy mark. Support just used gap closers and boons to run away past my cd’s. The Thief has so many good offensive power, utility, and escape in these traits makes me jelly.

With that said I wish my main (Ranger) had half of this survivability as a non zerg play profession outside of some tank cond build. I wouldn’t complain if Sic’em got changed to a AOE flare that reveals like the WoW Hunter got to help counter.

Treat the game like a $10-20/month sub model mmo, skip the grind play as you like.

Welcome back. Here is some good sites to keep an eye on,
http://dulfy.net/category/gw2/
http://metabattle.com/wiki/MetaBattle_Wiki

I would make one of each and go play around in the mists before you pick one to level.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Heart_of_the_Mists

“In this area, all player levels are scaled up to 80. Players have access to all possible skills (excluding 2 heal skills which can be purchased for 25 skill points) and traits for their profession and can try out all builds”

Just a thought, but maybe Anet wanted to get profession specializations and the Revenant out before implementing new races and animations for the specializations/Revenant.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we did see new races in future xpacs.

Siphaed.9235:

One thing I see constantly in this thread, a theme that is of considerable concern: “big boys”, “non-casuals”, “real skill” and other such attitudes from the pro-raiding group. This is the exact kind of stigma that the raiding community is well known for and why players of this NON-RAIDING GAME are so against such content. It’s not a matter of having the content optional or not, having it just because, and all the reasons in the world. No, it’s a matter of the type of community disdain that brings with the “I raided X and have these shinny ruby slippers so I’m better than you” attitude. Also it is a matter of locking away content from a large portion of the non-raiding PvE community. And as even Blizzard has admitted, only a fraction of their community raids, so developing for that fraction of a community that is even a lesser fraction here in GW2 would be a waste of development time and resources for A.Net.

The only difference I see in implementing raids:

Better controlled environment for the devs and players
No trolls
No moochers
No AFK’s
One loading screen

and what Bwembo.8531 said, kinda. I don’t believe it was for the “noobs”. Trinity gave a sense of comradery and reputation, a concept that GW2 seriously lacks. That’s not to say GW2 needs a hard trinity either, but just a reflection of my personal experience and friends that I have played with.

Brown Bear for extra condition removal (2cond 5players aoe)
Drakes for Combo Finisher: Blast (only pets w/this)
Jungle Stalker Might stacks
Wolf for knockdown and Fear (great for cliff throwing or saving yourself from a stomp)
Jungle Spider for immobilize
Fern Hound for knockdown and regen
Jaguar for stealth play

the pets I tend to use frequently.

Warrior=Pistol (I remember a warrior npc faintly during the Queens gauntlet/festival having one)
Thief=Rifle (Sniper play, have no real range weapon)
Revenant=?

Knighthonor.4061:

*Raid Dungeons
*Ground Mounts
*Trinity in PvP
*Arial Combat
*WvW gets EOTM features and new features
*EOTM cycles the current map as well as the EB map.
*New Mobile Siege weapons
*Weapon Size slider to make weapons larger for bigger races, mainly 1 handers.

What he/she said and open world dueling.

Pugchug.8905:

Watching a thief troll noobs and waiting for the very right moment to sic em. Then I sit back and watch the thief get owned by people randomly pressing buttons. Always good for a laugh.

Never leave home w/o it

They really don’t mean much once you finish your personal story, I have seen no continuation with them once capped either. If going for the skins you can make an alt to unlock the vendor for purchase across all characters in your wardrobe.

Glad PVE gets what it wanted, and no longer needs to touch wvw more than a minimalist amount to craft a legendary.

Can those of us who fall asleep during the chasing after loot pinatas that is pve and thus only pvp/wvw also get a way to earn them with minimalist pve effort as well? Would be fair

The dungeon tokens and mats are there in pvp, so only having to complete nearly the entire vanilla open world pve experience is in the way. That is way worse than 4 pvp enabled maps imo (almost everyone hates getting ganked or zerged)… But as I’m a primarily pvp/wvw player, I am in the minority I guess

You already get the best rewards in the game (reward tracks) through afk’ing sPvP if you want to…do you really need more?

I’m talking about crafting Legendaries. Not the other rewards in game. That is what this is about. Gift of exploration, the star, and the title. The star and title you can keep, I think the gift is what most people want the most. I may be wrong!

I don’t know I really like my star

Suggestion I’m not for or against….but it would be nice if Anet released Unique Skins tied to WvW that can’t be attained through PvE or trading Laurels and Achievements for WvWXP/WvW tokens.

Unique WvW Armor/Weapon Legends
WvW Mastery system (bring it to WvW)
WvW Tokens
WvW Map completion
WvW Rank
Gift of Battle
WvW Crafting (siege weapons, upgrades, guards, infusion slots, materials/gifts for unique WvW armor/weapon legends)
Karma
etc…

Suggestion Anet: Make some really nice looking WvW map completion exclusive armor/weapon skin awards, and remove dungeon gifts from crafting legends!

Smokee.1754:

Ipea.2974:

So for someone such as myself and may other that have zero interest in PVE and the piles of kitten that it is and the boredom it brings can the kittened team that Anet calls developers give us WvW only focused players away of getting map completion without having to go to the PVE game mode that is already forced upon us if we wish to get all the new gear that comes out in this game….

I will go ahead and say it will never happen as anet always love to bend over and open its kitten to allow the PVE players to shot loads of kitten deep into them until they get what they want.

Anet will only be happy once WvW is dead completely and they dont have to do anything with it such as this poor excuse of a new map that is a big shiny pile of kitten to cover up the fact that PVE is getting yet another big update and WvW gets screwed with kitten all.

Thanks Anet!!!
