Guild Wars 2

Sort of a shame then that Anet hasn’t fixed them ;_;

Side Note: Search Function does not work for Google Chrome or Firefox for me, so my apologies if this is another dupe thread.

Bugs/ oddities with Eternity:
-Skills which threw Twilight/Sunrise use standard sword model
- The burst of darkness/light when drawing/equipping Twilight/Sunrise no longer occurs.
- Downed skills that threw Twilight/Sunrise are the defaults now

Added Note:
Would be neat if there was an effect for when the skin changes between cycles.
Example:
When it shifts from Twilight to Sunrise, the burst effect happens (even if stowed)
Same from Sunrise to Twilight.

Azrael.4960:

That’s not likely ever to happen. The whole point of a lot of these skins was that they were available during the event only. It promoted the achievement farming during the event. To go and make them retroactively available is going to raise the ire of a lot players, even when it doesn’t really affect them.

I did not mean make them available again for new players, I meant if you have EARNED them in the past, you will have them UNLOCKED in your wardrobe.

Example:
I have the Achievement: “Boss Week” completed.
Attached to that title is a chest for: “Wings of the sunless”

Under my purposed idea, because I have “Boss Week” completed, the “Wings of the Sunless” will automatically be unlocked in my wardrobe, even if I do not have that skin anymore.

If that still confuses you let me know and ill try to clarify a bit more ^-^

Would rather see this as a modified fractal boss o__o
1 person per lane, when your lane is open you enter and kill the platform enemy.

Scale everything down, the plat form champions would be Elites.
The mobs would be normal – veterans and their population cut by 55-60%

If you fail you have to start that boss all over again

The following are skins that were unlock-able skins from achievements:
-Slickpack
-Wings of the Sunless
-Holographic Shattered Dragon Wing Cover
-Scarlets Veil Skin
-Gas Mask Skin
-Fused Gauntlets
-Fervid Censer

These can be unlocked retroactively in a couple of ways.
1) A check on character log in to see if the achievement track tied to that
skin is indeed completed. If so, the skins are added to their wardrobe

(2)Making the achievement chests for those skins to be opened again to re-acquire said skins.

These skins are not available on the trading post, nor could they be sold so in no way is this a direct threat to the elites wallets.

Example:
I have the Achievement: “Boss Week” completed.
Attached to that title is a chest for: “Wings of the sunless”
Under my purposed idea, because I have “Boss Week” completed, the “Wings of the Sunless” will automatically be unlocked in my wardrobe, even if I do not have that skin anymore.

Better question, does Mike O’Brien even play the game? Or is he that guy that barks orders and hides in the office?

Same, to make it worse my felines are being horrible and doing whatever they want….
F2 doesn’t work when I want it to work

I have no idea who Agent Scips is, but (s)he is always pleasant to talk too on Fort Aspenwood. There is also a male & female I’m guessing a couple or very close friends that always run around with their tags on >_< they are so amusing when you run dungeons with them. I remember during flame and frost they were bickering back and forth over using short cuts in that dungeon. “You’re such a bad example!”

Raid on the Capricorn, It’s a fun little map with underwater combat and its own little neat features. Would be nice, if was finally added to Solo Arena, even if it meant swapping Sky hammer out for it….

The Mighty Dragons have brought up more fears

Bump, anything that is pro FA is worth the time, dedication and love

btw
Death to anyone who leaves FA

ANET ruined legendaries when they allowed them to be sold

Moving on…

Na can play with EU players? since when o_o?
Unless you’re talking about EU players playing on NA servers.
In terms of guesting from EU to NA you can’t
From what i read, China will just be treated as another region, will obtain updates at the same time as NA/EU just with KongZhong handling the translations/cultural aspects

Look on the bright side least you got compensated with cool stuff, Rangers got compensated with a f2 mechanic that took them more than 1 1/2 years to fix…..

*Marksmanship: Read the Wind: *Longbow and Harpoon Gun projectile velocity is increased by 100%.

Only somewhat promising thing for rangers… ill give it 1 month after release that anet nerfs this down to 10% increased projectile velocity with of course the obligated round of spirit nerfs (anyone else see that they managed to nerf it again?).

Skirmishing: Strider’s Defense – You have a 15% chance to block ranged attacks while in melee.

I really think anet is trying to make rangers into warriors with this o_o….

Wilderness Survival : Poison Master – Poison you apply deals 50% extra damage. Poison your pet’s first attack when they are swapped to.

Cool short bow skill 2 gets some love, and i guess if you try to use the new poison field from vipers nest this can be worth the investment face + palm

Nature Magic: Survival of the fittest – Remove two conditions and gain fury when using a survival skill.

Why would i want to invest in this when i can just cleanse it off my self with another skill? Signet of Renewal, Any of the healing skills, Spirit of Nature etc.

Beast Mastery: Invigorating Bond- Your pet heals in an area when executing command abilities (i.e. your F2 skill now heals in an area)

You mean pets can now survive long enough to cast their f2? It’s great you guys finally managed to pull someone away from guardian and warrior buffs to finally fix a mechanic that should have been fixed since beta, but that mechanic fix is not fast enough in most circumstances to justify this trait lol… pretty much a hail marry trait to where you switch pets and spam f2 and pray to dwayna your pet is alive long enough to get their f2 off to heal face + palm

sort of sad they didn’t apply this to short bows as well :/

“With Marksmanship’s new Read the Wind, your longbow arrows will fire at twice their base velocity, allowing for supreme accuracy at long range.”

Soo what’s the purpose of short bow now that long bows speed is increased x_x?

Crafted Kudzu today (yayyyy)
There is one rather awkward thing about it that looks badly miss placed, the Bow String.
When you look at the image provided below, it does not connect to anything at all, it’s just a piece of string floating in mid air o_o The top portion isn’t even close to a petal or the kudzu at all … Could just move the string closer to the ends of the bow before the flowers blossom out, the string nocks are there at the top and bottom ^-^

King Adelbern uses the Fiery Dragon Sword Model
Mini King Adelbern uses the Icey Dragon Sword Model, GW2 known as Jormags Breath.

If this was intended then:
Jormag’s Breath does not have any particle effects or the flame when its sheathed
The weapon on players DOES have particle effect or the flame when its sheathed

^-^ please fix this, it is a very expensive, popular, and awesine mini to those of us who played Guild Wars 1 and remembered how awesome it was in that game.

Chris Whiteside.6102:

I would worry that those Rangers that don’t do Fractals would feel left out. However i think this is a really interesting global reward idea so I will pass it on to the rewards team.

Thanks Wolfey,

Chris

Could you expound a bit on why this is an issue for you? There are pets that are available in a limited frame of areas and different level ranges, just like some weapon skins only drop in certain areas. If the difference between, say, a Jade Spider and a Cave Spider was purely cosmetic, then you’re not talking about vertical progression at all. The guy that has the Jade version has no advantage over the guy with the Cave Spider. All that’s going on here is cosmetic changes, and perhaps some bragging rights.

I honestly don’t see a difference between things like area specific Ranger pets and Fractal skins. Likewise, if players want WvW armor, they need to go to WvW. Or the massive amount of varied PvE that people need for Ascended gear. Or locking Cultural T3 behind a gold wall. They all require playing in a certain area of the game for more than a passing moment. In fact, I’d suggest that these are exactly the kinds of rewards that work for Fractals. It benefits the players that run them with a cosmetic benefit, without an imbalance. I believe that’s an excellent way to get people interested in the content without forcing them there.

I promise I’m not trying to be contentious here. I’d just like to get a firmer grasp on the how and why of rewards being matched with content.

Hi,

I don’t think you are being contentious at all and you put forward a compelling argument. However we try where possible to seed core gameplay rewards across the game. It seems like we have a few inconsistencies in the live environment so I will discuss this paradigm with the rewards team.

This said Ranger pets have abilities and putting a unique pet in the fractals with say unique abilities could be a huge barrier to entry for some players and that is where my concern comes from. The fact is fractal skins do no change the way a player uses his character whereas a pet with unique abilities does.

I hope this provides some more insight.

Chris

Unless you plan on giving the fractal pets 5 stacks of Torment or 5 stacks of Agony, I don’t think it would be an issue. If you wanted to make it fair for everyone so no one has to enter fractals of the mists here are some ideas:
PVE:
(1) Earliest level you can tame = Personal Reward Level 5 (easy to obtain)
(2) Gem Store “Mist Menagerie”, under a guise that you’re funding further research
PVP:
(1) Automatically unlocked for pvp only, does not carry over to pve
(2) Requires a high enough rank to unlock (wolf/tiger/bear?)
WvW:
(1) Edge of the mists Menagerie, who ever controls it
(2) Stone Mist Castle Menagerie, who ever controls a fully upgraded SMC

Chris,
What would you think about introducing special types of pets for Rangers within fractals, mostly as tamable rewards after the boss fight.

Examples:
Jade Maw – Once Jade Maw is defeated, a tamable Jade Crab spawns by the chest.

Molten Boss- Once the molten duo is defeated, a tamable Molten Hound spawns by the chest

Captain Mai Trin- Once she is defeated, a tamable Watchwork Moa spawns by the chest

Special ones:
Aquatic Ruins- If you get the Dolphin path, after killing the giant jelly fish, a tamable dolphin spawns by the chest.

Would give Rangers more pets that we have been asking for
Encourage more rangers to play fractals

Quite the difficult issue,
On one hand, you do have the case of irl issues, which is fine and I don’t think anyone with a brain or shred of dignity would be upset over….
But then you have the kitten players who just idle to grab the chest at the end….

I don’t think reporting is a good way to handle either….

Modest Proposal:
When a boss, rather it be World Boss, Living Story Boss, or whatever important boss spawns. Anyone who is within 1500 range of the boss has their idling timers lowered to 5 minutes. At the end of 5 minutes, if you do not deal damage you will be re-directed to your home instance. At the end of 7 minutes, a debuff will be placed on your character preventing you from opening that chest for that event. The curse will go away once the chest despawns.

nice <3 the suggestions

What music are you listening too for the destruction of LA?
This is what I have in mind, a group from LA (irl)

THE CITY LOOKS SO PRETTY DO YOU WANT TO BURN IT WITH ME?

The Moot & The Ministrel

Would be nice if a couple new models were made available to be used by Necromancers and Rangers. Some of the models already exist, and wouldn’t take that much work in terms of moving stuff over, especially for necromancers.

Necromancers:
Summon Bone Minions would be changed out for Summon Bone Turtles
Model:

Summon Bone Fiend would be changed out for Summon Bone Scorpion

This has been my go to class from the Betas, I have stuck by it from the good and bad times…. there are a couple of things that absolutely frustrate me when it comes to their short bow…. the lack of real use.

Suggestions:
Skill #2 Poison Volley
It is a very poor skill given the numerous other options that Ranger has at its disposal….
You are restricted to 900 range, the damage is 5x (405) with a very mild poison and a 7/14 second recharge…..

This weapon has no true natural aoe skill!! why not take advantage of this and juice it up a little?

Purposed change:
Shoots a volley of poisonous arrows within a targeted area.
Damage 5x (500)
Range: 900-950
Poison (2 1/2s): 800 Damage -33% Heal Effectiveness
30% Chance of inflicting one of the following on hit:
Torment: 2 stacks
Confusion: 1 stack
Blind: 1 stack
Bleed: 5 seconds

Mechanic: Target similar to marks/ Longbow Skill 5 “Barrage”
Physical damage hits up to 5 targets untraited
10 when traited? (would be a neat bonus to eagle eye to increase targets in aoe)

Crippling Shot:
Adding torment would be very appropriate for this skill, 2-3 stacks on hit?

Concussion Shot:
4 seconds of confusion (2 of those seconds would be void from daze and stun, keeping the 2 second theme with daze & stun).

I don’t think those changes are way to over powered…. if only one of those choices could be allowed I would hope that Skill 2 Poison Volley would be considered…..

We are The Forgotten Soldier,
We do not give up on any of our members, no matter how newbish or experienced they may be. From the time you put on the tag you are automatically part of our family. We are not one of those guilds that will promise you the world and just leave you with hell.

What makes us different from other guilds?
We know how it feels to be screwed over by a general dictatorship.

We have two principal leaders, both of whom are opposites; one is male, the other is female. One is very dedicated to social and PvE aspects of the guild, while the other is very dedicated to community and guild activities.

Underneath those two are a couple of people who specialize in one aspect of Guild Wars 2. These 4 people are on the same level of power; however, they do not contradict the others aspects they are in charge of.

Under this system, each aspect of the game is able to be fairly represented within the guild without being shoved under the rug. We are able to properly cater to the needs of each aspect while progressing on other areas within the guild with out faltering.

We are proud members of Fort Aspenwood, this is our home and we have no desire to relocate. Anyone from any server is welcome to join; however, you will not be granted higher ranks without being on Fort Aspenwood.

Would love to see anet add more pets… there are tons of animal npcs out there that have the basic models needed to be pets….

Dolphins
Sea Turtles
Sand Shark
Crane
Crabs
Humpback Whale

Chicken
Rat
Sheep
Longhorn Sheep
Ram
Black Ram
Black Sheep
Raccoon
Marmox

Radiant would be easy to do, don’t know about hell fire o.o … toxic had the same structure, true;however, they didn’t have as much animation (fire flickers, lava flow, smoke pouring off and lava drip)

So many exploits can be done with this, sadly…
Idle in your characters personal instance,
Idle out in the world and just have a macro set to take 2 steps every x-ammt of minutes

Guest on Kaineng and macro spam /dance (had to take a cheap shot at a low pop server sorry)

30 Dragonite ore per temple
Balth + dwayna + lyssa + grenth + Melandru = 150 Dragonite Ore

Fort Aspenwood finishes all the temples every night, more than welcome to guest

Ive also seen Northern Shiverpeak do all the temples every night at reset.

Claw of Jormag
Inquest Golem Mark II
Tequatl the Sunless
The Shatterer
Champion Drakin Cinderspire
all give a random # from 15-25ish

http://us.gw2stuff.com/en/events/fort-aspenwood
is what i use for events, seems to work fine for me o.o

Add another leader board for PvP & Another Tournament Que
“Guild Arena”
Auto matches you against other parties that consist of members from the same guild.

Three Tiers on the Guild Leader Board
1-5 = Gold
6-15=Silver
16-25= Bronze
Everyone Else

Gold Would get a special Emblem unlocks and a unique Gold color unlock as well as an influence discount on upgrades.

Silver Would get a special Emblem unlocks and a unique Silver color unlock as well as a smaller influence discount on upgrades.

Bronze Would get a special Emblem unlocks and a unique Bronze color unlock as well as a tiny discount on upgrades.

Would suggest guild cape trims like in GW1 buttt we don’t have guild capes ;(

From an out cast Ranger (doesn’t use melee weapons or spirits or bears)

Annoying as Trahearn:
1) Perma Stun Guardians
2) Hambow Warrior

Requires Thinking:
1)Mesmer
2) Thief
3) Condi Necro
4) MM Necro
Easy:
1) Ranger
2) Ele
3) Engineer
4) Power Necro
5) Zerker Guardian
6) Warriors in general

You write about capes and you put WoW pictures up face + palm
Should have used GW1 screen shots to show how easy it would be to port them to GW2

Rems.4783:

I’m getting sick of when I joined 2 or 3 parties which I left afterward, I can’t join new parties for the like the next 10 minutes because ’I’ve joined to many parties’…

Either remove this weird cooldown, or show the levels of people in the party. Because msot people want to do their daily dungeons as fast as possible, and not with 3 lvl 30-something characters.

Seems like the system worked just fine…
If you are going to farm low level dungeons, you can’t be mad at other players for playing the game as intended… If they were meant to be level 80 only dungeons, they would all be set up like Arah…

However, I do agree it would be nice if they add the level under the profession icons.
But…. if they do that, then you will have everyone demanding the rights to see peoples armour, weapons, traits, pets, social security blah blah

Lets not give anet more motivation to delete Ranger by giving every class a Bow.

Daibo would be cool with Guardian, same with Pole Arm,

Also guardians have Spirit Bows >.< …..

FlamingFoxx.1305:

If you want unique/rare pets then play GW1 and unlock the Hall of Monuments. I don’t see that many rangers going around with a Black Moa or Black Widow.

Because Black Moa, Black Widow, White Raven are so horrible to use in PvX that you’d rather slit your own throat before you start a fight? It takes anet for ever to remember that they are pets and to get them on par with the other pets.

Why not do something Similar to Guild Wars 1 when it came to rare pets.

Example:
Holiday pets would be out in the wild, would only become available after you finished the meta quests/content to charm. (Jingle Bear/ Jingle Moa) tons of fun options for this to do….

For Exotic pets, why not make them based on your personal story and involvement in the living story. Example: Orrian Gorilla, would only become available after you finished the Zhaitan Story Arc. Tropical Birds would be come available for finishing rather SSC 1 or 2.

Brtwrst.9312:

1. Footfalls:

• The Footfalls are very small and have a very short duration. Compared to other 2 Hand Legendaries (Longbow, 2H Sword) the footfalls are really small and disappear very fast. They last about 1 second while the flower-garden footfalls you get from using the Longbow stay for 5 or 6 seconds.

Dear ArenaNet, I would really like to know if all this is “by design” or if you might consider looking at some of the things i listed and maybe change them.
I know its a long list but i would really appreciate if you would at least take notice of some of these problems. (Especially the ones with the Engineer Kit interaction and the issues when sheathing the weapon)

I know the Predator is not the only legendary that could use some love and it’s also not the most popular Legendary (probably because only 2 classes can use it and one of them is the least played class). But i bet there are more people who have noticed these things and want them fixed.

To all my fellow Tyrians:
Do you have anything to add?
What are your experiences with your (2nd Class) Legendary?
And to all the Warriors that use The Predator:
How does this relate to you? Do you have something to add that affects only Warriors?

Tl;dr: The Predator’s effects could use some bugfixing and effect-increasing love.

And Dreamer is once again forgotten as a 2h legendary weapon x_x

Problems with dreamer:
No Glow Aura when equipped at any point
Short Bow for Thief or Ranger just plain out sucks in comparison to other options….
Oh, Rangers only have two effects with this weapon, shoot 1 unicorn going —-—> or shoot 5 unicorns going —-—> in a cone fashion. Thieves Unicorns are Arched in movement.

Few Fractal Packs I thought about:

The Fall of the Divine Fractal Pack:
1) Fall of Dhuum
Each player would take on the aspect of a God, who ever opened, would be assigned Grenth by default. The objective would be to defeat Dhuums army and bide time for the 7 reapers to prepare the realm for Dhuum to be locked away in. A small battle against Dhuum, once he hits 25% he banished into the realm. Another event to where you have to protect Grenth (person who opened) to ascend into God Hood. (fight off the last of Dhuums army.) End of Fractal.

2) Fall of Abaddon
Enough has been said about this, more or less, how he was rejected from the Pantheon.

3) Boss Fractal: Kill Abaddon.
For this fractal, you replay the final mission of Guild Wars: Nightfall, you Must Destroy the God of Secrets. Added content: Must protect Kormir while she absorbs Abaddons powers.

Guild Wars 1 Fractal Packs:
1)Kill the Lich, If you finished Guild Wars 1 Prophecies, you remember this mission…
Factions:

2) Kill Shiro Tagachi, If you finished Guild Wars 1 Factions, you remember this mission..

3) Boss Fractal: Kill the Great Destroyer

Historic Fractal Pack:
1) Fall of Orr : Everyone in the party is an orrian human, who’s duty it is to protect the Vizer while he researches a way to protect the nation from the charr. The fractal ends with a cut scene of the spell being cast and the nation sinking, the players wake up on a shore with a chest to open.

2) The Norn Exodus: The telling of what happened and the spirits involved, could be rather fun to see the other spirits that players could not transform into. All players would be transformed into Norns.

3) Boss Fractal: Ascalon Academy
Follow Prince Rurik into the cave and kill the Grawl and Vatlaaw Doomtooth. Completing this will trigger the Searing which will show the destruction of Ascalon.
Vatlaaw Doomtooth, being the Charr would be the final boss.

In regards to auras. Dreamer is a 2 Handed short bow that does not have an aura.

gg anet……

Could have done a couple of things to make the chest worth while….
Everlasting Finisher (watch them put it in the gem store for $20)
Random Ascended Weapon Chest
Ahh well.. i better stop, I guess im expecting too much for ANET to learn from their past mistakes…. INB4 the devs come out saying “we had this all done and planned 4 months ago, we didn’t know 4 months ago you wouldn’t want that stuff”

Only issue i see with Dervish at the moment, is the lack of the gods willingness to answer prayers. Dervish in GW1, were based very heavily on prayers and Avatars.

On a positive note though, I am really hoping they find a way to make this class come back, as it is one of my favorites from gw1.

Natronix.9827:

SBI beat FA fair and square on reset night.

We were winning by the end of the weekend.

Well fk, You guys hear that? WvW is only 24 hours long guess anet has to redo everything to accommodate the almighty SBI (lolz @ 3rd place in season standing).

Anyone hear that the world record for loudest crowd was broken this week?
Nope, It wasn’t Seattle Fans who did it, it was the whole SBI server after realizing they have flushed another week down the crapper.

Ill leave this hear for your listening enjoyment though:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_RZY89BkfY

Couple of questions:

1) Will we ever be able to explore South Eastern Portions of Orr
2) Will we ever see some portions of Orr “return to normal” after the “defeat of zhaitan”
A) If so, will it be an update new and old players are forced to see, or will it be like GW1 Ascalon, to where once you beat a certain quest/mission you are transported to the new version and you can not go back (exception added for gw2, unless you’re in a party with a person who has not finished the Zhaitan Story )

3) Why not add the other God Temples as events?( Dhuum, and Abaddon )

I some how feel this is based on this weeks match….

To make story mode more appealing to re-run, why not add an exclusive miniature for each one? Exotic rarity and what not, may only drop from the boss & the final dungeon chest. (2 chances per run)

It’s really bad that some people in FA have to result to Spying to track our movements and activities on maps. <—- Not trolling, not BSing. We have had spies from FA in SBI Teamspeak and our own Teamspeak tonight. But, there is not much around it. Sucks that the few FA that are doing it to get an upper hand at whatever situation. Hope you FA’s out there can get a grip on those people, doubt you can but do your best. If this is happening to us, I’m pretty sure it has or will happen to other servers.

Great Job tonight SBI, did lots of work. And Great fights from you FA. Keep them coming.

Thank you for telling the whole Guild Wars 2 Universe that your Team Speak server is not secure and that there is no verification process to access your sensitive channels.

Espionage is nothing new to any game or any battle ….
is it honorable and super cool that it happened? nope
is FA the only server that does it, Hell no
