Guild Wars 2

Would be nice if they allowed the 15% to be relocated to the end of the sale.
Example:
I put “The Lover” on the Trading Post
I am charged 0% tax
Once the item is sold or withdrawn you are charged with a 15% tax of the value listed.

Not many people can afford 60-70 gold to list an item… there is nothing breaking the market. Gnashblade still gets his 15% irregardless if the item sells or not. All you are doing is relocating the fee from the front end to the back end.

If you want the quiver then buy it
I have it, and I really love it.

You can look at it in two ways really:
1) You will have something that newbies won’t have later on
2) You can always forge the ascended quiver skins if you really hate it after a while.

Maybe the consortium forged his signature to try and mass advertise their product :o

Most common Legendaries I have seen in both WVWVW & PVE:
(roughly in order)
Twilight
Sunrise
Kudzu
Juggernaut
Dreamer
Moot
Bifrost
all others

Well thank you for confirming that isn’t just me >.< … hopefully anet will toss out a response or path or something…. at the least rename Engineers to Lagmancers

Dreamer -> Nightmare Skeleton ponies that leave a trail of green and black smog when shot out. Foot steps would be black and green pools with bony hands popping up.

Ive noticed this in a game of pvp last night, whenever an Engineer throws a grenade, I experience epic amount of lag as well as other players on my team. It’s only grenades that cause this lag, no other explosion or skills or anything.

One of the matches was a living hell, one team was nothing but grenade throwing engineers; withing the first 10 minutes of the match barely anyone could move or counter without nearly crashing.

Ive tried digging through the forums and have only found similar posts with no real resolution. I have done all the steps from re-install, dropping all settings, and what not.

So ya….

Do you mind sending over the link that says there will be a reset on ability points?
A one time deal is cool with me, I spent most of my points before the arrow cart ability was released and with all this new stuff being released it has become a face + palm

With more abilities being tossed on wvwvw, will we see an option to reset our abilities? or will this be another tsol moment?

Think before you post.

Ok using your logic,
I hack the anet data base and steal your account name and password and sell it on ebay. My account gets banned, I use your logic of: "If you penalize real people with real people priorities " To create a bogus excuse of: “well you see my mom had a heart attack and I left immediately to the hospital to take care of her and make sure everything is ok. This must have happened by someone else, you have to unban my account anet. After all, all your doing is further alienating a portion of the community”
I get off scotch free, no punishment at all since anet follows your logic and I abuse your point of view to get out of trouble along with some nice amount of cash from selling your account.

Please for the love of the Gods, Please add more Finishers to the game…

Currently the only Finishers in the game are:
Rabbit Finisher
Deer Finisher
Dolyak Finisher
Wolf Finisher
Tiger Finisher
Bear Finisher
Shark Finisher
Phoenix Finisher
Dragon Finisher
Cow Finisher

Everything but cow required 3 things:
1) Rank
2) Glory
3) Luck

The Cow Finisher just requires gems.

That’s all nice and fun and all; however, after a while it get mighty boring seeing the same crap over and over again :/ Would be nice to mix things up, and I don’t mean a buy 500 now with gems or by the end of the month your screwed.

Give us something that we can actually use or buy or obtain that’s not the same old boring crap.

Why not add an everlasting finisher as a rare drop from rank chests?
Rabbit Finisher
Deer Finisher
Dolyak Finisher
Wolf Finisher
Tiger Finisher
Bear Finisher
Shark Finisher
Phoenix Finisher
Dragon Finisher
all would have a 1% chance of spitting out an Everlasting version of their perspective finisher.

For the Cow and future gem store finishers, why not create a mystic forge recipe that would give us the option to create an everlasting version. Something like:
10 ____ Finisher
100 Arcane Sliver
100 Arcane Powder
50 Rank tokens or 10 Mystic Forge Stones

It’s annoying as bloody hell to find an awesome finisher that you have fallen in love with and then you realize that if you aren’t a gw2 millionaire (even if you are) you will eventually be out of them and cannot re-obtain them. Examples:

Super Explosive Finisher
Mad King Finisher
Scarecrow Finisher
Snowman Finisher
Gift Finisher

How about:
If person leaves a pvp match tournament or not during a match the following happens.
-Deduction of 200 Glory, if glory is at 0 nothing is deducted.
-Debuff is placed on your account “Dishonorable”
Dishonorable effects:
-20% Reduction in speed in pve/pvp/wvwvw
-20% Reduction in Armour in pve/pvp/wvwvw
-20% Reduction in Damage in pve/pvp/wvwvw
-Not able to join any pvp matches for 30 minutes
The Debuff lasts for 30 minutes, does not disappear if player logs off or switches characters.

Has enough of a sting to discourage quitters, but also doesn’t totally screw over players who accidentally get screwed over by life (emergencies, power going out, etc.)

I love the idea of an under water map, could implement the air map above as well i guess. Maybe with the underwater map, make it themed to like: The Ruined Temple of Dhuum.

The Temple would be the Keep
Large Altars would be the Towers
Graveyards would be supply tents
Beaches would be the default spawn points

Besides fixing the footsteps for Eternity there isn’t really anything that needs to be done with it…. I guess if you really wanted to, you could potentially add a skill or command to freely change the skin irregardless of the time of day. Though…. At that point your better off not spending the extra 1 Gold Coin & 1 skill point to make Eternity

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Consortium_Chest

Ya, It was part of the first trip to Island and the Karka Invasion Arch

Been that way since November

Could cut the middle man out, keep the current system
Add a token exchange vendor for the ticket
Tokens drop from mobs related to the holiday zones at a Blue-Green level rarity rate
250 tokens = 1 ticket

in this case. all foes will have a fair chance to drop a token

so now you have 2 choices
Gems for boxes for tickets
Farm Tokens for tickets

The Lazy Way
The time consuming way

Could be a result from an artificial roll back,

Personal Example:
“New Build Available in 2 hours”
I’d leave L.A. and head over and run a quick T.A. path while I wait.
20 minutes after the message I’d get dcd and the patch will auto start.
When i log back in, I would be in L.A. same spot where I was when the message popped up, any items gained during that time would be gone.

Had a blast so far scaring and creeping out my guild mates & friends with it x)!!!

Total Time Invested on getting it: 2 Days
Cash Spent: $0.00
Crates Opened: 12
Tickets obtained: 1
Horror Caused: Priceless

letum.5784:

+1 This is a nice idea and would simplify opening/closing the inventory to get to those items faster.

That it would

1 free Sclerite Weapon Claim Ticket for all?

TheLastScotsman.4865:

Actually a really good idea. Wouldnt even need it to clear a space in your inventory, just be good to have the option of pressing a button and eating my omnom’s/potions or using an endless tonic.

Hopefully anet will think the same too ^^

was just a toss up concept
only issue with the left is the giant kitten chat box that eats up 80% of that space to the left

https://en.support.guildwars2.com/

Sort of something I thought about, why not add two alternative item slots to the skill bar? They can hold any item or stack of an item and can be activated via mouse click or hot key. If hot key, probably something like – or =

Before:
Top picture
After:
Bottom picture

It would be nice and convenient for those who wish to use food, or mini pets, finishers or what ever, with out having to pull up the inventory screen, dig around for said item and activate it every single time.

Could add an option to toggle those two spots on and off for those who think they eat up to much space. (They don’t that same space is covered by that artistic brush smear)

Just an idea

If you’re hell bent on RNG as the only way to introduce content, please do it in a fashion similar to Guild Wars 1….

How Guild Wars 1 did it:
Example:
Halloween
Trick-o-Treat bags would fall from monsters at a decent drop rate, I’d estimate maybe 35-45% per kill. I was averaging maybe 1 bag every 3-4 kills or so, not to bad really. You would then open the bags and stuff would fall out. Most of it would be useless trivial crap but you still had a decent chance of getting something fun or cool.

The current system:
Karka Event
Consortium Crate, drop rate has to be below 5% the best of luck i’ve seen from anyone was 5 chests in 3 hours. I believe he said his MF was around 450~.
The chests have an extremely low chance of granting a ticket which is used for obtaining a weapon skin that is account bount you cant even sell it.

I Understand that Anet need to make cash, that’s all good and fine and fun and all. But why not mix the two systems into a nice little balanced harmony?

Something Like:
1 Crate : 100 Gems
10 Crates: 950 Gems
25 Crates: 1800 Gems

Adjust the drop rate from monsters to be on par with Powerful Bloods if not may 5-10% better.

If you do it that way, yes the RNG factor will still be there but it will at least alleviate some of the brutal kitten the players are feeling.

o___o lol looks like you have found an easter egg my friend

Ive seen 2 before the patch, after the patch 0 just crap drops

Questions:
1) Will the particle dripping effects change as well?
2) What about the smoke color?

Any how, it is a very neat and interesting idea

Next class will probably be a heavy armour class to balance out the rest.
Currently:
2 Heavy
3 Medium
3 Light

Kamahl.3621:

Farm gold, buy minipet in future. At least you’re not 100% shafted like some were with christmas miniatures.

Which Christmas Miniatures are you talking about?

Ones from the work shop were given alternative means of acquisition via:
- Gem Shop
-Work Shop pieces & Forge

The ones from the Wintersday Mystery Boxes:
-Wintersday Mystery Box from Gem Store with slight RNG luck
-Rare Drop from Monsters anywhere in the world

Molten mini:
Drops from mf boss chest only

Sounds neat and worth it, question though:
Will this work on Legendary Items?
If so, will this carry the effects of the Legendary item over to pvp?

Actually a very good idea

1) I shouldn’t have to pay shipping and handling for a card then wait for said card to arrive in the mail. I refuse to drive over to Tampa, Miami, Orlando, New Orleans, or Atlanta for a kitten card…. waste of gas and money to drive 3~14 hours for a kitten card.

2) “From now until April 1, you can transfer to worlds with a medium-sized population for free! You’re still restricted to one world transfer per week, so choose wisely.” Have never seen a medium populated server in the american region since Beta at least

3) You mean the fact that Guild Wars 1 had way more servers and districts then Guild Wars 2 has? 3 Regions, districts under each regions and what not

I’ll just let others comment, I didn’t come to forum PVP, just stating facts and ideas/concerns about your suggestion. I stated my points, that’s good enough for me.

But yes, there were, right around the same time when they increased cap, which knocked every server to medium or high etc.
http://www.tentonhammer.com/gw2/news/free-server-transfers-announced-for-guild-wars-2
http://www.guildwars2guru.com/news/1084-server-transfer-opportinity/

Ok, guess I was wrong or to slow on seeing those servers at the time, still doesn’t make a difference in reality. Given the current date 5/11/2013 there are no cheaper servers to relocate too. Everything in the American Region is “Very High” or “Full”

If you disagree with adding more servers that’s cool and fine.

My main argument and point is that the European community has 12 cheaper options that they can chose to play on if they wish to leave their server. As the american region you are stuck with “Very High” and “full” and as such you are stuck paying an extremely high premium price.

1) I shouldn’t have to pay shipping and handling for a card then wait for said card to arrive in the mail. I refuse to drive over to Tampa, Miami, Orlando, New Orleans, or Atlanta for a kitten card…. waste of gas and money to drive 3~14 hours for a kitten card.

3) You mean the fact that Guild Wars 1 had way more servers and districts then Guild Wars 2 has? 3 Regions, districts under each regions and what not

still are not understanding where im going at:

Europeans:
12 options to chose from for 500 gems

Americans:
0,ZERO,NONE,NADA for 500 gems

Geotherma.2395:

Wolfey.3407:

Geotherma.2395:

Wolfey.3407:

Can you please show me the option to buy only 500 gems and only 1800 gems?
You can’t so you have to go to the closest options available

The white box in the screenshot is simply to remove my credit card information

1200 gems + 800 gems = 2000 gems. 1800 for transfer and 200 gems left over. $25.

As for the other ideas, no thank you imo. Some servers like NSP even though they are very high, are very much empty.. Whereas a place like TC or Tarnished Coast has so many people in towns and talking in map chat. Adding servers only causes more emptiness. And all that moving, adding, etc isn’t as simple as it sounds and costs some serious money. I’d rather they spend it on content and making the current game/worlds/servers better. We don’t want to segregate people by language or playstyle etc. That isn’t a good business model.

where are you getting 1200 from?

no where in that screen shot is there a 1200 option or the possibility of a 1200.

And what you are saying is “kitten any American region player who wants to play on another server, unlike the Europeans you have pay tripple the amount to transfer to any server because we don’t have any servers below very high”

as for the segregation complaint:
1) You aren’t forced on it
2) European region have no problems with this
3) There is a presidence already set with the European servers having German, French, Spanish, and Dutch.

God forbid we actually consider the fact that there are 2 other languages in the American region.

Just because your little picture does not show the 1200 card does not mean it does not exist…

Secondly, server caps were just raised recently and you could transfer free between medium ones. Now that people have nestled into the current servers they are very high again. I am strongly against adding more servers, and again there is a cost issue involved.

So you are assuming
(makes an kitten out of you and me)
That:
1) Every City and Town sells those cards (they don’t)
2) As of the last two months or so I have not had the option or ability to transfer freely, if my account is broken or what not, beyond me.
3) There is no cost issue involved at all besides the fact that the European players have cheaper servers they can chose to play on.

So going further off your example
Lets say in a perfect world every city and town offers those cards,
that’s still +$15 more to relocate then you would with a European server

3) There is a presidence already set with the European servers having German, French, Spanish, and Dutch.

God forbid we actually consider the fact that there are 2 other languages in the American region.

Currently all of the American Region servers are stuck at “Very High”
Which means if you wish to transfer you have to pay $35 or 1,800 Gems.

In Contrast, here is the European Situation:
12 “Medium” servers
Which means if you wish to transfer you have to pay $10 or 500 Gems to play on those medium servers.

Bargain comparison:
Europeans: 12 Cheaper alternative options
Americans: 0 Cheaper alternative options

Solution:
Add 9 More Servers for the Americans
In order to keep wvwvw balanced, you have to add servers in groups of 3.
Here is my break out for the 9 servers.
English: 4 (common in Americas)
Spanish: 3 (covers southern/western U.S./central & southern Americas)
French: 2 (Canada & Louisiana/ others)

Purposed names:
Ascalon
Kamadan
Fahranur
Eternal Grove
Rhea’s Crater
Sifhalla
Olafstead
Lions Arch
Hell’s Precipice

None of those 9 names mentioned above are being used by American or European Servers, they all are names from Guild Wars 1 and are common places.

If those 9 servers are added to the game for the American region I would suggest making the first week free to transfer.

You will have 7 days from the time of those 9 servers being released to move around freely with a restriction of 1 transfer per day. This means you are only allowed a max of 7 free transfers, this will allow you to find the server you want, the community you want and adapt to the new community.

This should accomplish a few things:
1) Give people who don’t wish to speak english a place to go
2) Lessen the population burden on a couple servers
3) Give people a cheaper alternative after a couple of weeks since the populations of all the american servers will be more spread out which will create a few “high” and “Medium” servers.
4) Change up the wvwvw scene since you will now have 3 more tiers with 9 more servers duking it out.

Have had this issue happen a few times over the last week or so… quite annoying x__x
so far the only fix i have been able to find is disbanding the party and re-inviting everyone…..which is “ok” but annoying as hell especially when you are dealing with cross server partying.

I agree with one free transfer per month
The current system is very biased towards North Americans x___x
Every North American Server is “Very High” or “Full”
so to transfer at the moment will cost 1,800 gems ~

With Europeans
there are 12 servers that are “Medium” and only cost 500 gems to transfer

Financially speaking:
To Live in North America and to transfer servers that will be $35 USD

To Live across the pond in Europe, it will only cost $10 USD to transfer

for those complaining saying well “use gold….”
Current Market for 100 gems: ~3 gold per 100
ill let you do the math….

They could at least enable guesting for wvwvw, maybe with the following restrictions:
-Can Not Benefit from any of the servers buffs that you are guesting on
-May only guest for wvwvw once every 24 hours
-Can Not Claim anything on the guest server for your guild

It is sort of stupid that the game does not support Russian, Italian, and a few others o.O OH and more shockingly Korean ….you would have thought with their parent company being NCSOFT it would have been the 2nd language in the mix behind English.

Ya… Guild Wars 2 is a little behind the 8 ball on that…
I can assure you though that Guild Wars1 was actually on time for the most part though, so its not a bad tradition that made its way through the cracks.

Would Love to see this added as a Fractal Instance along with the Ancient Karka being added as an instance (nerfed down a bit for 5 ppl of course)

agreed lol….
Figured I had time to do a dungeon path real quick
10 minutes into it we all got dcd for the build
(5-10 minutes after the message popped up)
so 15-20 minutes

Server F.A.

I would agree BUT one big issue
the dredge use the same gauntlets as the Charr
Same Exact model
no metal or bands or anything

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/b/b1/Veteran_Molten_Shaman.jpg
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/7/73/Veteran_Molten_Protector.jpg

if you see the metal bands or the metal gauntlet hand feel free to show me o.o Cause i only see lava

There a few things that could have been added to them to have made them more desirable to the general population.

What I love about the current ones:
-Smoke effect rolling off the tops
-The Dripping magma from the finger tips
-The concept of the lave spiraling up the forearm.

What I have noticed that people don’t like about them:
-The whole “iron man” concept from the wrist down to the fingers.
-The three metal bands

Solution:

Why not keep the smoke and dripping lava portions of the gauntlets and transpose them to an updated skin that already exists.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Molten_Igniter.jpg

Which is one that i think is more suiting and probably would be to hard to transpose

http://images.wikia.com/gw/images/7/71/Destroyer_Gauntlets_M_gray_front.jpg

From Guild Wars 1, the only thing you would really have to do is update it to match guild wars 2 style and toss the effects on. Maybe add the twisted splint offs from the fused gauntlets to it?

just my thought and input
