Guild Wars 2

Colin pretty much confirmed there will be new playable races at some point.

His words exactly.. “Whatever race we decide to add to the game first, it will be one from that core pool that people have been talking about regularly, but I can’t tell you which one.”

It’s at the 15:25 mark in the video.

Check this website out, it has all the dyes with the names so you can see what colour looks good and then search it on TP.

Invictus.1503:

Until they made an option to toggle it off, I would constantly drop my target because I use the mouse to rotate my map all the time. Whenever I’d right click to start rotating I’d often accidently click on a friendly or an option and then it would target them. Not saying this is always what is happening, but if you don’t have the right click target option turned off this is likely the culprit in at least some of the cases.

That’s the only annoying thing, I want to be able to target/attack with right click because often that’s how I will start a fight just by right clicking to auto attack. I just wish I could then rotate the camera with right click without always selecting other targets or allies.

I will agree that English seems to be a language that a lot of people know and use. It is quite common for Germans and others to speak English, however you rarely see people in England speak German, French or another language.

English is thought pretty much everywhere, the only language that was taught in schools when I was there was French.

I guess when it comes to language, us English people are lazy I’ve seen plenty of Germans, Russians, French and other people from around the world speak mostly English when communicating with other people, yet English people only seem to want to speak their own language, or can’t speak any other.

Sorry but why is this really a problem? If you see a listing in German, then you have the choice to either join it and don’t speak, or look for another/start your own.

I listed a group the other day and had 3 Germans and 1 French guy join me, all 3 of the Germans spoke English the whole time, while the French guy didn’t say a word (Guess he didn’t speak English)

It’s not like you’re being forced to play with German players.

Stooperdale.3560:

Dropping the target when you click somewhere else is actually a good thing. Until the command to draw/sheathe weapons is more than cosmetic and actually puts your weapons away in combat, even facing the enemy, there needs to be some way of losing targets.

You can press ‘escape’ to manually drop a target.

They should at least give you an option to change so you can pick if left click or right click drops a target.

Yeah I don’t know what it is, but the targeting seems to really annoy me sometimes. The most notable target drop is on the Golem boss though not sure if that’s supposed to be like that due to boss mechanics.

Another big issue though, like some have mentioned already is that I’m targeting an enemy attacking it and I use right click to move the camera around and when I let go I almost always end up targeting a friendly player when there’s a big group fighting a boss. This is really annoying when attacking with projectiles or target skills like signets and such because it means you just wasted a CD trying to attack an ally.

I use a Razer Naga and also though it was down to my mouse double clicking when I let go of right click, however it does seem that is not the case, and is due to something within the game. I also think target boxes are too big.

I know I’ve read stuff like this before with cultural armour and people asking for a refund option within the game, but instead they added a confirm to buy option.

Not sure why they don’t just add an option like in WoW where you have a few hours to sell the item back to a vendor for a refund on high-value items.

So, I currently had 2 ascended items, and now just got enough to get my 2nd accessory so I went and bought another berserker piece, only after I realised you can only have 1 of each item so now I spent 40 laurels and 50 ectoplasm on something I can’t use.

Does anyone know if it’s possible that ArenaNet can refund you on an item, or get it changed?

I understand this is user error, but now I wont be able to get my other accessory for another month

I feel slightly stupid and annoyed at the moment, am I the only one to do this?

If you can’t come up with 5 names then you need to be more creative. I have 18 characters, all with unique names.

I don’t think this should be added as it takes away the whole point of investing into your class and picking your choices wisely and strategicly.

Giving everyone access to everything just takes away the unique class build style.

Ah I’ve never used squad myself, just assumed it was for large groups of more than 5 players but pretty much same features of a group.

Isn’t the squad the same thing?

This is about the worst thing I’ve seen on the suggestions section.

Please note the “(Discussion)” in the title. If you aren’t going to progress this conversation or add any personal points apart from spouting negativity then you dont have to be here.
—————————————————-

Anyway, on topic. I still think they have good potential as a playable race. I just think their racial possibilities are very unique. I mean what can Tengu do? Their birds I get it but… They have nothing unique about them. Just another large animal race. Like the Charr. The Quaggans seem different to any other in-game race and they have very unique features.

Well it’s all kinda pointless, the Quaggan are never ever going to be a playable race in GW2 it just doesn’t fit and wouldn’t work.

All these people asking for playable Quaggan, Skritt, Centaurs and the likes are just being silly.

Just use rare/green gear instead of exotic and you have a harder challenge. Simple

This is about the worst thing I’ve seen on the suggestions section.

Why is Arena Net doing everything they can to make me hate them and stop supporting their game?

I really like the game but I’m losing respect for AN because all these stupid random boxes with a 0.001% chance just to get 1 skin is becoming a joke.

If you want to charge for the skins then fine put the skins up for straight sale and i will buy them.

That’s why they need improving, i really want to use them but i feel like I’m wasting 3 skill slots.

ArenaNet always said that they want you to play how you want to play and all “builds” are viable, yet the ranger spirits feel like a waste, in fact the only ranger skills i feel have any use are the traps.

Spirits need to be buffed, running all spirits can feel useless sometimes when they die in 2 hits.

This reminds me of the carmine guns in Gears 3

No, this is the worst suggestion I’ve seen for this game, followed by flying mounts.

I agree they need to add more modes, having only 1 game mode in a pvp game gets stale, we need a standard TDM and deathmatch as well as some sort of CTF mode.

Also would love to see some sort of survival mode like the hunger games thing from the last beta weekend event.

I don’t get why everyone wants the same old stuff from GW1 this is GW2 we need new fresh stuff not same old professions and areas from an old game.

If they are going to add new professions then they need to be brand new fresh ones, not the same old stuff people paid for an expansion years ago, same for the new areas, open up a new continent.

As for the mount, no that’s a bad idea, the game has WP’s so no need for them.

The new weapon ideas and sub weapons with more skills are good though.

+1 this would make some weapons look so much better, would love to see the peacemaker weapons in blue!

Dungeon finder.

You can’t ask that question without even knowing anything about it or what would be in the expansion, that would be like me saying I’m going to release something new, would you buy it?

If it adds loads of new great content that I’d be interested in then yeah I’ll most likely buy it, but if it’s a load of stuff i have no interest in then no, but obviously we have no info so i can’t say.

Raxus Prime.4218:

Evil without tentacles or spikes ftw!

what mask is that?

and what pants?

so freaking kitten

The mask is the 3rd mask you can pick when creating a mesmer character, the legs are the order of whispers light legs.

Also this is prob the best one here so far, awesome.

They will add a new ‘Cake backpack’ to the gem store :P

Lol, serious though, i don’t really know but I’m hoping for some sort of celebration/event

EDIT: Oh and i would like to see a big gem store sale, ArenaNets way of thanking us all for supporting the game for a year.

Considering 80% of the stuff they have added has also been removed, there’s been nowhere near an expansions worth of content for the game, but then i don’t expect an expansions worth of content without actually buying an expansion.

Having little fresh content every month is quite nice, but i still expect to have a full blown expansion at some point that adds a whole new story to the game, new dungeons, pvp maps and game modes, whole new continent or open the rest of Tyria, maybe a new profession or race and so on. But I’m not expecting that untill at least the end of this year.

8/10 though I’m not sure how to pronounce it, but i kinda like that, as they are not human :P

My Sylvari ranger is called Loallin

Loalin was the name i used for my Pandaren in WoW but was taken here so had to add an extra L in it.

7/10 Not too sure about Wraith (though i can see it fitting a charr), but Icerend sounds pretty cool.

At the moment i have 3 Charr characters so will list them all.

Raam Bloodrage – A warrior gladium part of the Blood Legion who was inspired by Almorra Soulkeeper (leader and founder of the Vigil) to join the Vigil and show that becoming a galdium is not the end for a Charr, and that some good can still come out of it.

Rex Stormpaw – An elementalist who’s father was part of the flame legion so passed down knowledge of fire magic. Then joined the Priory to learn more about elemental magic and how to control the other elements to put to use against the flame legion and other threats.

Grunt Steelbone – No story yet as it’s a brand new engineer character.

7/10 ^

I quite like that armour, but if i remember right, the tail clips through the coat which really annoys me about most gear on Charr.

Here is my Warrior.

7/10 for Methionine (though not sure I’m pronouncing it right)
I like how you actually put thought into your name and not just named it silly like ‘mini range’ or ‘x hunter x’ which a lot of people do.

My Asura is a scientific genius engineer called ‘Merrdin’

+5 win points if you can guess who inspired that name :P

In a way, having rank groups like 1-9 10-19 20-29 and so on, can be good like what WoW and Neverwinter does, but also can be bad because high rank does not mean you’re good at the game, so if you are rank 40 but are pretty bad at the game, you would always be going up with other 40’s and getting destroyed, which is not fun.

Any hairstyle that has a fringe is bugged, when you run, the fringe goes through the forhead and it’s really annoying, stopping me from using the hairstyle i want because it bugs the hell out of me.

Please fix the female hair ArenaNet!

I guess any dungeon is worth running for loot as they pretty much have the same loot table, every dungeon has small chance to drop exotics too which in my whole time playing since release I’ve only ever got 1 or 2 exotic 80’s from dungeon drops with no boosters.

I heared HoTW is also a pretty easy quick dungeon to run (not sure which path) but i can’t really say which is best for loot and money return in full clears as I’ve not done every dungeon path yet, though I’ve found CoE good to run for charged cores and lodestones, one time i got 1 lodestone and 2 cores in 1 run.

I sometimes end up losing a target or most commonly in dungeons, selecting my group members but i thought it was down to my mouse because it has double clicking issues now and then so when i move the camera and let go it clicks itself and unselects the target, that’s what i assume any way.

Everything clips in GW2 so doubt this will get fixed

Side note, is that top armour from the same set at the bottom? looks different to what i remember.

Just noticed a major graphic/texture bug in the Black Citadel where everything was flickering and diasppearing including backgrounds, buildings, NPC’s and even my character.

I recorded a short video to show exactly what i mean, here is the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcQ8JPLgCbE

I forgot to bring up the map in the video but it’s by the Laurel vendor outside the Trading post.

Not sure if this is known already, or even if it’s only happening to me but never noticed this before untill now when unlocking the city on my necro.

First off, wasn’t sure whether to put this in dungeon or suggestion sections, as it is to do with dungeons but i kinda would like to suggest this be added.

Also, not sure if this has been discussed before, haven’t been very active on the forums lately.

So I don’t know about anyone else, but for me the story and lore in MMORPG games is a big part, and i really like that GW2 has a story to follow with cutscenes even in dungeons with story mode and explorable mode.

Now this may just be me being picky and OCD but i would love it if everyone in the dungeon saw their own personal version of the cutscene in dungeons, instead of whoever entered, so player 1 see themself in the cutscene, player 2 see themself and so on.

I say this because i would just feel more involved in the story and with what’s going on in cutscenes, maybe it’s just me but this would be better for me.

I know most people don’t even bother with cutscenes but i like to watch them, especially if i haven’t seen them before.

Also i know i could just be the one to enter if it’s that big of a deal but if we are entering exp mode and i haven’t done story obviously i can’t enter, also if someone is already there i don’t want to hold them up, and maybe other people like to see themselves in the story too.

I don’t think it would be too hard to make the change, obviously all the voice overs for every race/gender in every dungeon are already there, so just make it so the cutscenes treat it as if it’s solo or if you entered, so everyone see’s the same cutscene and hears the same dialogue but see their character saying it.

Would anyone else like to see this change too? or am i just being weird

I personally don’t like watching videos and guides of dungeon runs as i like to experience them first hand for the first time.

Yes that makes it more challenging but isn’t that the whole point of dungeons and part of the enjoyment.
What fun is skipping everything possible, glitching bosses and knowing everything in the dungeon before you’ve even entered?

It seems people no longer want challenging fun experiences any more and just want to be rewarded for the least amount of time and effort possible.

I personally thought CoE was harder than AC, AC was well easy.

I accidently rolled off the edge once when i dodged one of his attacks and didn’t realise how close to the edge i was, back rolled straight off the edge.. but on the plus side i did evade his attack.

I like the guardian, necro and ele ones from original post, the rest are meh and wouldn’t use them.

I just don’t like how boring the dungeons and boss fights are, and no one seems to run them the way they are meant to any more.

Everytime i get into a dungeon, people skip everything possible then moan if someone messes it up and can’t get past without dying (just kill the kitten mobs it’s easier)

Also boss fights are boring it’s just stand there with auto attack on for 5 mins and loot chest, best example is the mine cart thing in SE, you can actually go AFK for the whole fight and get the chest.

I’ve done all the dungeons story mode and most of the explorable ones but still yet to watch the cutscenes because people moan they don’t want to stand around waiting, and say they will kick you if you don’t hurry up. I like the story and lore behind the game and i like to watch the scenes but feel i can’t in dungeon groups because i don’t want to be kicked.

The loot is pointless too, you kill a giant boss that takes ages and get the same loot you get from killing a crab in kessex hills, only worthwhile thing from a dungeon is the tokens, which leads to people speed running, skipping everything they can and finishing in the quickest time to farm tokens.

I hope Anet can really improve the dungeons and make them more fun and worth your time, the fractals is a move in the right direction but think they can go further than that.

I use dual daggers and dual pistols on my thief and i use rampagers gear going with condition venoms and caltraps bleed.

I also use the healing signet, which i don’t activate often because the 3rd skill on pistols combined with caltraps can heal you to full pretty quickly.

In dungeons i don’t use daggers much because i prefer to stay back safe and damage with pistols and conditions, however i will go in for dagger attacks when i think it’s safe to but i don’t use backstab or stealth i mainly stack bleeds with the 3rd dagger skill then use 2nd skill below 25%

Although i did quite enjoy SAB for a few hours, i think Arena net need to focus on improving what’s already in the game instead of adding these little events and stuff that last a few weeks which quite frankly no one even asked for.

Yes, adding new fun content is good, but not when the rest of the game still needs work, i hear loads of people saying what they think needs fixing and improving, and not once have i ever heared someone say, it would be cool if they added some old style mini game event.

Same with flame and frost events, they add a few minutes of extra gameplay to the game, which to me is not as important as improving dungeons (the core of any MMO for me)

Just my thoughts.

I was just doing the level 30 story quest ‘Stealing secrets’ in Lion’s Arch, and noticed something strange when it came to Zojja’s part in the cutscene.

The head gear she wears was not showing in the cutscene, this is the first time i’ve seen this and it wasn’t like that when i did this quest on another character.

It’s nothing game breaking or anything, just thought i would post to let you guys know.

Zojja looks kinda weird without the head gear on by the way

Here is a picture from the cutscene.

I’m 21 and love the game, already played about 500 hours or so.
The only other MMO i kinda miss is the secret world.
