The big three Heat

Ok,
Still a bad comparison :P

Better Comparison:

SBI= Oklahoma City Thunder
Poised to win it all at the start
heavily favored to win it all
DIDN’T WIN IT ALL

did anyone mention we going to win the league? anet predication? of course yours..

indeed.. thank

bomb

yup the community def. did not say that SBI would win the whole thing and FA would come 2nd maybe 3rd.

community of FA DB YB EB? nice community you got there..

Teaming up LOL righhhhht that explains DB & SBI pushing our side of the map in EB at the same exact time.

No way .. the Thunder aren’t loathed. Also Heat have fairweather fans who leave before games are over if they’re losing. It’s perfect.

You don’t remember ESPN, Fox Sports and others basically tossing them the crown before the season even started?

But they were not hated either the first year

Lol, they were hated as soon as James said he was bringing his talents to South Beach

but thats not the heats first year as a team….

are you talking about the Trio Heat when you said they were together or the Team Heat.

But they were not hated either the first year

fooser.6412:

We’re WvW villains.

Now I know how the Miami Heat feel!

Except the Heat have won a season….

Previously bought tools can be made account bound…. This was advertised by anet numerous times.

Take the harvesting item off its slot and put it in your inventory
Go to Lions Arch
Go to the Black Lion Trading Company
Walk up the stairs
talk to the person with the sword over their head
trade in your soulbound item for the account bound equivelant

Fractal work started back in August, which is when players first encountered Scarlet and around when the votes were tallied.

That makes sense…I suppose the story is among the first things to be developed and once it gets underway, ít’s basically too late to change things.

I’m curious though…has the player feedback regarding Scarlet affected your upcoming lore?

We look at as much feedback as we’re able and take it under consideration when planning our updates. Understand that what you’re seeing on live was under way four months prior.

Sooo not to come out as hostile… but does this mean that Wintersday is doomed to be a failure like Halloween? In the sense to where you push the content out on the first of the month, and at the 2nd week point you forget about it and start something else…

Previously in GW2 and in GW1 Halloween, Wintersday were both month long events that had a lot to do quest and story line wise. This years Halloween was rushed and done with by the 2nd week of October with nothing new related to Halloween even being released on the week of Halloween.

So following that format, will Wintersday be:
December 10th Tixx workshop, toys malfunction, recycled quest stuff and art work.
Maybe a new helper that we will only get to know for 14 days before he or she vanishes.

December 24th, back to scarlet and the Living story, nothing is mentioned about Tixx or the workshop, wintersday content is effectively over with and people are back to hating Scarlet over their Christmas Break & New Years.

Sort of sad that Anet won’t go back to GW1 and take some of the Assassin (thief), Ranger, and even Dervish armour skins and ported them over….

Ran a fractal with 5/5 Rangers earlier, level 30
1 Wipe (thermanova) too busy killing each other

1 was a Spirit Ranger LB/ Sword/Horn
2 LB/SB Ranger
1 Sword/dagger/gs
1 sword/axe/LB

none were in the same guild

Would be nice if the Utility Skills got in on the Legendary changes ^-^
1-5 have unicorn projectiles
1 on down state has a unicorn projectile.

And that’s it o.O

Idea Changes:

Healing Spring:
Plant in the middle stays the same, instead of white water foams pulsing out, why not make it rainbown pulsations? Could even have a unicorn reared up on its hind legs where the plant would be.

Heal As One:
Instead of a blue orb that surrounds your character, a rainbow orb, replace the falling leaves with rainbow horseshoes

Troll Urgent:
Instead of a blue orb that surrounds your character, a rainbow orb.

Lightning Reflexes:
Instead of a static burst when the skills is activated, when you go backwards, you leave a rainbow trail.

Stone Spirit:
Orange Tinted Unicorn

Frost Spirit:
Blue Tinted Unicorn

Storm Spirit:
Purple Tinted Unicorn

Rampage as One:
Instead of a red aura around your character, it will be a rainbow colored aura

Mist Fire Wolf:
A mist fire Unicorn

Spirit of Nature:
Rainbow tinted Unicorn (changes colors)

Left the racial skills alone on purpose.

Walking pets leave horse shoe foot steps as well

Just an idea ^-^

C’mon EBAY! It’s Blackfriday, Don’t let up

To set the record straight, a lot of this was caused from miss-communication and a conflict of pride and understanding. To HOPE, I apologies for dragging you’re guilds name into this, after talking to Drigan, I had no clue you guys had something planned and that you guys were NOT farming.

To the FA community, I apologies for any brash comments that may portray in a negative aspect (Not apologizing about small smack talk

As a guild, The Forgotten Soldier [TFS] prides our self in having fun and promoting the general community. We have strive to do so since our relocation from Kaineng. Every day of every week we field a small havoc squad that is constantly in: EB, FABL, and a random Borderlands of the guilds choosing.

We truly do not mean any disrespect to CORE and the things they have done in the past for the community, we only wished to have addressed an issue between leaderships that should have been done privately. Sadly, on my part and others, it got out of hand quickly.

I hope CORE, and the FA community is able to put this behind us and allow both parties to mature and prosper throughout the time we have together to advance Fort Aspenwood as a top notch WvW server.

My apologies

Agreed actually, though the whole weather system imo should be updated >.< seems like some zones are always sunny, some always in cloudy/ night mix. Barely any raid or thunder storms and what not

Would be nice to see GW1 Armour make a return to gw2 ^-^ 500-600 gems each?

There are a lot more from GW1 that were just amazing that would even look more amazing when rendered and brought up to correctly to gw2 standards.

Rumor has it that John Smith is really Donald Trump. Using the game as a means to test his ideas before he pushes them out. o.o dun dun dun

If exploration is that much of a hassle, I’d rather them just remove wvw from the 100% needed then adding another nerf to it…

Would be nice to see them add this feature ^-^
Especially if they expand this to sleeping on beds, and what not

As long as the following happened:
1) Any achievement points achieved from said item are removed (progress as well)
Example: Unsouldbining a Legendary would remove:
Account medal (if its your first and only legendary)
Legendary Collector Achievement Progress is reset

If the above happened, then i see no problem with the idea of unsoulbind to sell.

Long as there is a toggle switch to prevent people from looking at your:
Armor Stats
Skills
Weapon Sets
(don’t need any more elitism)
Then i say awesome idea ^-^

LoreChief.8391:

Wolfey.3407:

yay this thread again…..
sec let me get my copy paste ready

Couple of Questions:
1) How do you address those who believe in Polygamy
2) How do you address those who wish for same sex marriages
3) What about divorces?

First and foremost, this would only really function as an “account pairing” procedure. You link yourself to your lovers account, not character-to-character.

1) None of the races in game believe in Polygamy, and even those who do would most likely neither expect it or complain about it not being included. “I have 5 wives in real life therefore I think I should be able to have 5 wives in the game, cater to me!” I don’t think this is a realistic setback.

2) Why would they disallow same sex marriages in the game? I play female characters, as does my wife – but you would not know by looking at our chars which one of us was male/female if either of us were either gender. To add to that, the lore even supports same sex marriages. Marjory & Kasmeer are human lesbian lovers, and Caithe/Faolain were Sylvari lesbians. There are enough instances of same-sex couples in the lore and NPC dialog to suggest that ANet wouldn’t have an issue with it. Remember, this isn’t about whether players will be offended by it or not – otherwise they would not have included skimpy armors for the potential super-prude players.

3) What about divorces? Put them on a 1 month cooldown, require only one accounts permission to cancel, and go about your un-married way. No reason to make it a big deal.

on #2, ANET has flipped-flopped on their stances on this more times than Florida Gator fan living in Tallahassee. One week it’s all “ya they are lovers” next week its “no no, they aren’t lovers, sylvaris don’t have that type of romance”
You are still neglecting that same sex marriage is highly illegal in some countries which means that ANET would have to censor their game even more for those countries.

There is a reason that GW2 china is taking so long to develop…. they have to go back and remove everything that is socially and legally not allowed. (WoW Lich king anyone?)

As cute and cool as it is, and i support the idea, there is just no logical way that anet can pump this out while filtering the content to be legally acceptable in other countries.

I guess anet can ignore:
Russia 143.5 million people (anyone notice how upset the international community is that russia won’t allow homosexual athletes to participate in the olympics?)

Middle East 212 million people (beheading for being homosexual anyone? it is a capital offense punishable by death)

etc…

“but but but but its hinted at in the lore”
Can make the same technical argument about incest, but you don’t see me demanding content that allows me to have a romantic affair with a “family member”.

It’s too much of a grey area for anet to be messing with atm.

tdlr: Anet doesn’t have the time to fix small cosmetic bugs that have been in the game since launch, why do you want content added to the game that would have to be censored in order for other players in other countries to be able to play GW2?

I’m sorry, did you say ranger? /Shudder

Worst class N/A

Rangers are awsome, not our fault 9/10 people who use them use range weapons cause the word range is in ranger lol Oh… and the zerk gear running 30/30/0/0/10

Agreed on the 9/10 portion
agreed on the states
Disagree on the weapons
Nothing wrong with running SB/LB, the problem comes in with the people who don’t know how to execute the two weapons to make them work to their advantages.

I personally, run: LB/SB/GS
LB/SB for general zerging (aoe/mass condition)
SB/GS for Roaming
LB/GS for annoyance

yay this thread again…..
sec let me get my copy paste ready

Couple of Questions:
1) How do you address those who believe in Polygamy
2) How do you address those who wish for same sex marriages
3) What about divorces?
From a company stand point it would be very thin waters for anet or ncsoft to walk down. Any how way this would be implemented, you would end up alienating a section of the player base. Those who are in the LGBT community would be enraged if it was just man & woman. Those who are traditional or moderate will be upset for same sex marriage. Those who are raised in a polygamy culture will want to have 2-3 partners rather they be the same sex or different. Which may tick off the LGBT and the traditional community.
Anet and ncsoft would almost be forced to take a no stand until things smooth out in this heated debate. Dont get me wrong, i love your idea. Just with the current situation going on, I dont think there would be a way to pull it off without trashing a portion of the community.

With windows 8 everything was flawless, absolutely perfect.
I upgraded to 8.1 and I am now limited to 3-4 hours of game play before my monitors are kicked into power save mode. This only happens when I’m playing Guild Wars 2.

It does not do this with:
Guild Wars 1
FEAR
FEAR 2
FEAR 3
Batman Series
or World of Warcraft

Monitors are both Dell P19132 Digital
on a AMD Radeon 7800 series

Side note: while in power save mode, I can’t wake the system back up, I have to shut it down and reboot. All the settings for sleep and hibernate are set to “never”.

Superior Rune of the Mad King
October 2012
Uses incorrect cosmetic effects then what is advertised on the item.
The item advertises that ravens will attack your foes upon using an elite skill. The current effect uses brownish white falcons instead.

Please post bugs that you know about that have been in the game for roughly a year that have yet to be fixed correctly.

Name of Item:
Rough Date of Bug:
What is the bug:

Please do not bash anet over the bugs, anet please don’t be over sensitive and infract for bringing up a bug compilation thread based on date.

Undertaker.7451:

Ranged topic;
- it seems you guys completly forgot shortbow while tweaking longbow, i dont mind its 900 range, but it would need some improvements too. ………

coments would be appreciated, special yours, Jon.

Please respond to this, it is sort of sad that after the nerf to short bow, it has been completely forgotten about (so it seems) there are a ton of awesome ideas around the forums to make this weapon better.

-Adding torment to one of the skills (crippling shot, concussion shot, and even poison volley are nice candidates for it)
-Adjusting the range to be a little longer
-Making Poison Volley an actual aoe skill (similar mechanic to barrage maybe 800 range to compensate)

Please consider updating:
Poison Volley (skill 2 on short bow)

A poison aoe similar to how barage is done would be cool (short range aoe) even with maybe 1 stack of torment @ 40% on crit. ?

Thats the one thing that short bow is actually missing from making it a true viable weapon is a decent aoe…..

Sort of sad that
Ranger
Short Bow
Skill 2: Poison Volley
is NOT being improved at all….

Short bow has been constantly being nerfed since day 1…
Why not actually improve this skill to be of some actual use?

A poison aoe similar to how barage is done would be cool (short range aoe) even with maybe 1 stack of torment @ 40% on crit. ?

Thats the one thing that short bow is actually missing from making it a true viable weapon is a decent aoe…..

If you are not going to give us better pets, or our old range, or any of the other fixes we have been asking for, can you at least grant us a basic aoe skill for one of the most nerfed weapons in the game?

The devs need to paint this on their walls:
“Maybe finish this candy bar before you open another one”

seeing how anet is trending with this holiday so far if it’s not scarlet it doesn’t matter x_x

“Maybe finish this candy bar before you open another one” needs to be painted on their office walls

Even in Guild Wars 1, you guys dedicated a lot of time and effort into Holidays….
This is the first time that I have actually been legit ashamed to have even bothered to play this year….. You gave us “Blood and Madness” that was easily completed in an hour with little to no content attached to it.

There was no new long quest chains to do like in Guild Wars 1, there was nothing new to explore that was festive like in Guild Wars 1, You could NOT repeat the content you finished like in Guild Wars 1…. would have been at least neat to repeat the quests you did last year….

From the start of October you went
Blood and Madness (little early don’t you think to shoot this off with no follow up)
WvW season 1, not really festive but gave us something to do, ok that’s cool
Tower of Nightmares, lot of possibility to ties this in with Halloween and yet you guys go back to scarlet…..

It’s not the Grinch that stole Christmas…..

It’s the Scarlet that stole Halloween :/

Most games, even those made on a little to no budget, at least make Halloween there center piece for the month of October. This year Guild Wars 2 chose to make Scarlet the center piece with a brief recognition to Mad King Thorn at the START OF THE MONTH. The polar opposite of when Halloween is….

Please for the love of the Gods, the love of the Mother Tree, and the love of the Eternal Alchemy do NOT repeat this mistake with Wintersday….

p.s. wtf? why did you release Mad King Thorn this early? shouldn’t he be tomorrow evening or afternoon not 3:00 pm Server Time (from what i see maybe earlier)

To quote Stewie Griffin: “Maybe finish this candy bar before you open another one”

Dedicated to all the FA haters:

That’s what you get for running your mouth the past few weeks.

Skill 3: Madly Funny Jokes
Sounds like a horrid 1960’s recording done from 35 ft away from a pull string doll…
Sounds nothing like Mad King Thorn

Really dissapointed with this…

Still don’t have dawn of the season … Sitting at 6/15 done

Waited 3 Hours just to play WvWvW and I’m rather active in it, I’m not casual or anything by any means…. but ya…. 3 HOURS and I still have not gotten in.

Please for the love of God actually think this stuff through when it comes to planning these type of events…

I know you guys have the over flow map in the works for WvWvW but don’t you think that some tiny shred of intelligence would have thought about implementing this BEFORE the season started?

I’m use to 30~50 minute queus, I play on Fort Aspenwood, I can expect that type of wait and that’s fine with me, it’s part of being on a large server…

BUT 3 HOURS!!! really?

this will probably get flamed, and infracted to hell and back, but w.e.

td;lr: actually think things through before you implement them. Time is a burden blah blah, large servers etc etc

Does not display the correct bird upon elite!
just hawks not ravens or crows or any black/dark purple birds….

Uses the Consortium Sickle on the point animation.
Side note, wouldn’t it be better if the player laid the box down instead of points with a sickle in hand o.O?

Two of the icons in the wallet are not in the correct format as their counterparts.
1) Badges of Honor
2) Guild Commendations

The other icons do not have their square backgrounds, these two do.
Just looks horrid and makes anet look like they half @$$ed it, in terms of organization and formatting.

Just something i did within 3 minutes using ms paint
Not the best of quality as I’m sure you guys can do but it does show that it can be done in under 10 minutes.

(click the image once to see normal size for those who don’t realize that images are blown up if they are below x,x size)

The other image is the wallet as it currently stands
(went on a spending bender so inb4 “wtf why no 100000000 tokens” )

The Short Bow has taken some major hits over the year, there is no real denying that.
It’s still an awesome weapon;however, it really is missing a decent aoe.
The range has been nerfed on SB, the condition stacks at the speed they use to be applied have been nerfed so ya….

Suggestion:
Update Poison Volley:

Damage (*x) : 435 [removed the 5, the * = for every hit]

Poison (1 second) 2 stacks: [nerfed from 2 1/2 seconds since there will be multiple hits now, dropped the stack count from 5 to 2, same reason.]

Range: 900 [kept the same]

Combo Finisher: Poisonous Gas [new combo finisher, when conditions are met, a poisonous field spawns infecting everyone in the field with a 2 second poison with 3 stacks.]

Cast Time: 1/4 second [same]

Recharge: 8 seconds [increased by 3/4 of a second]

Duration of the volley when fired: 5 seconds, hits all targets in the aoe circle.

General Mechanic:
When activated, an aoe circle is placed at your mouse tip, you place the circle with in range and fire. Same general mechanic as Barrage on Long Bow. Could reduce the aoe circle on this skill update to be 1/3 smaller.

Just a modest proposal

mine too </3

Even with personal story connection it should not be to hard to change things,
Just make it known that if you change races, your choices from Race 1 will be reflected to Race 2.

In character creation, you have 3 choices that you have to make (i think 3 times? armour, past, racial identity)

So:
Armour:
A1
B1
C1

Past:
A1
B1
C1

Racial Identity:
A1
B1
C1

Lets say you are a Human who rolled: A1, C1, B1
and you want to roll a Sylvari, your personal story choices would be: A1, C1, B1

If there are more than 3 choices as some races have, you would just make D,E,F,G random letters such as A2,B2,C2,A3

They should have done the same thing with any finished unlocked on said account.
Wintersday,
Halloween,
SAB
etc.

just seems to be a giant middle finger >.< but eh….

Hawk.3574:

It is the same story with all the endless tools. You dont buy them for saving money but for never having to worry about running out of the item.

At least with the endless tools, you can use them on the highest nodes released and have the same fair chance are recovering bonus mats.

With the inf salve machine, you are stuck at a basic level salvage kit which would not wield the same results as a Master, Mystic, or black lion kits.

I bought the Endless tools for a couple of reasons:
1) They look awesome (you covered this)
2) They are the highest tier (no need to invest in Black Lion Chests for tools or laurel tools).
3) Anet already stated that they will work on all future nodes added to the game

Forgot the dreamer…. you know the unicorn bow…. ya…. it doesn’t have footsteps either. lol neither does howler….. but ya……. those are mainly ranger weaps so i guess those don’t count…..

My Legendary Progress Updated:

The Lover [X]

Would of had Magic & Might but all my T6 mats vanished from my bank x__x
would send a support ticket but anet and support don’t go together….

I generally only use great sword as a troll weapon or exclusive farming weapon in fotm when it comes to jade maw :_: ….

Power would be the way to go though, as other people have stated; it has no real condition benefits. Generally, any melee weaps you go (daggers being an exception) power what you really should be focused on. There are the exceptions of course….

Nightmare Hound would be awesome,
Monkeys,
Gorillas,
Turtle,
Crabs,
Killer Whale/Orca,
Bunnies

One i would really love but i highly doubt anet would add it back would be Imperial Phoenix even rainbow phoenix would be cool ;_;
