Guild Wars 2

Being vastly superior to other races isn’t the same as being a nerd

Some sylvari cultural armors have been upgraded to glow as was originally intended and has been highly requested. To give the most flexibility in the armor design, the dye masks have also been altered so that players will have more control over the results of the armor glow. This currently affects Medium Tier 2 (legs will be re-addressed for glow and dye alignment) and Tier 3, Light Tier 1 (female only), and Light Tier 3. The other weights and tiers will be assessed for a similar pass to give glow or upgrade glow results when possible.

Azizul says it’s fine everybody!! No need to discuss it anymore, he has spoken.

Khisanth.2948:

Uh … why does helping people require spamming map chat?

He probably did not spam. The anti spam system is just out of control.

Healix.5819:

The geo locations for IPs are guessed or the ISP controlling them registers them. I can only assume the EU servers are shown as Texas because they’re their own ISP (NC) and their main hub is in Texas with the NA servers. Look up 4.69.154.138 for example, it’s registered properly by only 1 out of the 3 of them and it’s one of the main routers in Germany.

Out of your tests, you didn’t perform one of the most basic ones, which would have revealed Frankfurt. You didn’t trace the IP.

Example tracert 206.127.159.131:

All jokes aside, what do you mean with ‘Phasing’?

I don’t think Phasers would fit in the Guild Wars lore.

My problems with Living Story/World:

Temporary Content:
Most of it is temporary. The idea of a Living World is that the world grows/changes over time. Not only is it unecessary to make most of the Living Story temporary, in some cases it also makes no sense.

I’m referring to the Crown Pavilion, It is still there, yet we can’t access it. Why? It’s good content, why would you prevent us from enjoying it? Or Cragstead and North Nolan Hatchery, 2 large settlements added and they have absolutely NO use, why?

Shallow Story:
The story always feels extremely shallow and rushed. In something called ‘Living Story’ you would expect the story to play a much bigger part then it does now. But most LS chapters have only one very short story instance. And after you’ve done that the story is pretty much no where to be found.

Elaborate on existing lore:
Most of the LS is about newly introduced lore that we have never heard of before. Aetherblades, Karka, Scarlet, Consortium; these are all things we had never heard of before. I think it would be much better to create LS based on Lore that’s already in this world like Flame and Frost (dredge and flame legion) and the Krait we are getting now.

I would like to know more about the Bandit war against Kryta, what the inquest is up to, how the conflict between the nightmare court and the pale tree is going. All these things that are already in the game, but never were elaborated on (save for the dungeons and some personal story quests).

Of course what I would like most is Living Story elaborating on GW1 plotholes, like the Staff of Orr and Livia, or whatever happened to the Bloodstones and the White Mantle (we know they still exist). But this is probably not likely to happen.

When the other dragons finally do show up…
Then please, don’t release it in the LS format you are using now, I beg you. Zhaitan had a whole campaign and 3 zones dedicated to him, the other dragons deserve no less.

With the current way of delivering content this will be a nightmare, small chunks of content will be released and everyone will rush through them in an hour. Then we have to wait weeks before we can continue the ‘story’.

Instead, for each dragon a HUGE chunk of content should be dropped so we actually have to take the time to complete it and fight the next elder dragon. Yes, I’m not talking LS size, I’m talking Expansion size.

More zones!
THIS IS VITAL! I know you want to do as much with the current world as possible (aka living world). But It’s just not working, over a year after launch and the world/zones barely changed. And even if it worked, people who have been playing for a long time have seen it all several times over. I’ve explored the world several times, I know the entire map from the back of my hand. And even though some zone changing events would be nice, it will never be better than a completely new zone. Why not let us go further into the world of tyria to explore new things?

Also, if you add more zones, do it right this time. Southsun Cove is not part of map completion and has no heart quests. This makes the zone pretty much useless.

Master Yi.6129:

LS has to continue, regardless of how people feel about it

Yes because the opinions of anet’s customers are of no consequence whatsoever.

Like Gw2 but not violating the Manifesto. And with expansions instead of Living Story.

Soulbound has to be replaced with Account Bound.

“What’s in the tower?”

Temporary Dungeon probably, like every other LS.

There, fixed it for ya.

If that is true, it won’t be totally temporary. It would probably be added into FotM later, like MF and AR are going to be soon.

But it shouldn’t be, some significant things should stay in the world forever, not just for a few weeks. I thought that was the entire point of a ‘living world’.

Only upvotes indeed. If you can downvote players, this will be abused.

Whoopmeister.7493:

but they should also be able to remove the achievement options off a normal guild war 2 account

No they shouldn’t, Gw1 veterans worked for it. just because you can’t have it doesn’t mean it should be stricken from other players.

And you can still get it, but you have to put some effort in it.

Azure Prower.8701:

“What’s in the tower?”

Dungeon probably, like every other LS.

I hope it is, but it probably won’t be. And even if the tower is permanent, we won’t be able to enter/do anything with it after the event, just like the Crown Pavilion now.

One of the things that completely nullifies every good thing about LS, and why it’s such garbage.

You can ask in the lore section, there you can find the real lore masters, they would know.

Looking forward to it

Here she is!

It’s nice but the Karma medium armor seems more like something an Engineer would wear (to me anyway). But you like it and that’s what matters

mercury ranique.2170:

only a fraction of the people dislike Scarlet.

Based on what exactly?

No annoying PvE Players who wants their LS Achievements and Guest option for occasional PvE still working.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but are you implying that PvE players are annoying because they play the game?

Wow, that thing is amazing!

It really hurts to laugh this hard. This thread ranks right up there with “I got killed by a guardian that wasn’t attacking me”

this cleric troll build crap has to be nerfed somehow.

No it shouldn’t, this ‘troll crap’ is strategy. Just because it’s a strategy you can’t counter on your own doesn’t make it overpowered.

I don’t find a 10-20 sec skirmish that fun.

20 whole seconds people!!

Yeah, the OP admitted back on Page 1 that this thread was about being unable to kill a bunker in an amount of time (measured in single digit seconds) he thought was acceptable for a player of his skill.

a t s e.9614:

The problem is not about killng people with crazy regen .
It’s about PvP being a borefest when you fight bunkers
Only . I don’t wanna waste 2 minutes on 1 person if i know
Im better than him and only his regen prevents me
To stomp him in 5 secs .

There is a big difference between 20 seconds and 2 minutes. Also he claims to know when he is better than other players and should be able to beat them in 5 seconds if they didn’t have regen, based on what exactly?

Atse said 2 minutes is
unacceptable. His superior skill , should
allow him to kill in 5 secs.

Yes I just discussed that, why are you repeating something I just discussed?

I think ethics was just pointing out atse’s kittened posting format.

If that’s the case then you can disregard my comment Ethics

Cameirus.8407:

I could make a similar post about removing burst dps from the game, as it takes no skill to unload all CDs in a few secs.
But I wont. As some people like that.
Your problem OP is that you dont like people countering you. You want to just play your own way and win, sorry, that does not work in pvp, you adapt or you die. And thats how it should be.

Most heals can be dealt with by using proper conditions, interrupts or boon stripping, and by timing your burst correctly. Just wading in an nuking wont and should not automatically win.

Couldn’t have said it better myself

It’s a great thread

Also, 2 more:

a t s e.9614:

I put it in General forum because it affects wvw and PvP

WvW shares the same skills/balance changes as PvE, because it’s technically a part of PvE (stupid I know, but that’s how the devs made it). So are you telling you want this in pve as well?

Cronnix.7541:

uknortherner.2670:

Never going to happen and nor should it.

Why not? I mean, if you are going to comment against a suggestion, at least provide insight as to why.

We do not need any argument or debate to prevent changing what we like to something we do not like.

I was looking forward to an awesome expansion every once in a while. To have a great world that slowly expands. Instead of got Living Shallowness

They clearly stated multiple times that there will be no new professions for a long while. And no I can’t give you a link of that, because it’s from interviews/articles I read months ago.

There is no pay 2 play, there is buy 2 play.

NO SUBSCRIPTION EVER!!

Ronah.2869:

even if they allied together for the dragon fight, they still are not too friendly with eachother

That still doesn’t mean they will kill eachother for it, they are at war, killing eachother off over insignificant disagreements is pointless, stupid and outright lorebreaking.

I’m not questioning your pvp suggestion here, I’m just saying you should pick something else to fight besides the orders.

I usually don’t like pvp. There is only one form of pvp I might have liked and that was the pvp event in the beta, where you could be turned into branded. I sadly missed this but I would really like it if anet somehow reintroduced this event, maybe in a seperate area?

I love the female version but I don’t even know what the male version looks like.

Ronah.2869:

- it is connected to the orders and they are a part of PvE not PvP lore

Talking about lore, you know it’s lore breaking for the orders to be fighting eachother right? They are allies and, as we all know, formed the pact. And even if they wanted to fight eachother they still wouldn’t do it because we have bigger enemies to fight.

They stand for a united effort against the elder dragons, to be fighting eachother would be ridiculous (lore wise).
