Guild Wars 2

Beautiful and amazing. I really love how you made the glows just flow and fade in nicely and your choice for a background color. Just amazing

Those are awesome!! Any desire to make ones for other classes?

Not really to ticked off over the loss of laurels as I am to the lack of any compensation aside from a “we screwed up, accounts unbanned give us more money”

If you go through the 3day account ban or older thread and read through it, you will find out a ton of those accounts are Rangers.

For those who insist i still use a bear please read the thread before reading the topic sentence and hitting reply.

For the notion of “fighting dragon and demanding a dusk” that is not on the same comparison. 100% Completion on dailies every day vs Broken Event that does not always spawn every 4 hours. Also, it is impossible to farm all 3 dragons every 4 hours every single day. Medically, realistically, and statistically speaking vs a daily event 100% completion which is statistically, realistically and medically possible to do.

Seriously this is what i was doing exactly:
Farming younger and veteran Karkas in an area with no one in it (think it was about 8-9pm us central time) if there was anyone there i didnt see them or see any chat over head. Was farming for powerful blood and vicious claws for my Gift of Might. I was using: Long Bow, White Raven, Black Raven, 3 signets and Entangle. Was farming them in groups of 1-2. walked over to a cliff on the farm left side of the map near Lions point and said /sit. So i could go grab a quick drink and a snack with out getting kitten Then BAM banned.

Was talking in guild chat too, so the whole concept of ‘anti social doesnt talk to anyone’ blah blah doesnt work.

If you’re going to bash saying “compensation should not be applied for any reason just or unjust ban” try putting your account into consideration, what if this was during an event weekend? this ban lasted friday – Monday morning. I would have missed it and anets response would have been "sucked to be you "

There is a major flaw in the system for the way accounts are banned and the way unjust bans are handled and it needs to be reviewed and fixed.

Awesome.6120:

You probably kitten someone off (with the way you’re posting I wouldn’t be surprised) and they got their guild to mass report you which is basically an auto-ban.

If that’s the case then Anet really needs to fire their response team/coders lol…

1) I Don’t use Bears
2) I Don’t use shortbow
3) Sort of hard to farm verteran karkas and normal karkas by standing still, you have be moving non stop or your going to get spat to death.
4) I shouldn’t have to talk to every person while farming, not my job to be your friend or buddy
5) Please read the forums more often, there are hundreds of reports of false bans, most of those revolve around rangers.
6) Laurels should be refunded to me since I have a 100% completion track record of dailies. I should be up to 26 laurels today not 23. But anets screw up and their slow response time made it impossible to play the game for 3 days even though they admitted they screwed up.
7) I usually have map chat off, I dont give 2 fks about who your screwing or your dad hit last night nor do i care about your high school drama. Thats most of the crap i see in map chat.

This is a public service announcement for all Rangers and people who want to make a Ranger. A few days ago Anet terminated my account for playing Ranger and profiled me as a botter since botters like to play Rangers. After admitting they were wrong they gave me my account back. Here’s the real kicker, after asking for a reimbursement of laurels since i have never missed a daily, they basically told me it was my fault for playing ranger.

“Hello,

After reviewing the issue, it appears that your account was blocked in error. Your account has been released and you should be able to log in to Guild Wars 2 once again. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."
…
“Though we are sincerely sorry for the interruption caused by this investigation, we feel this persistence is necessary for the protection of our legitimate players, their accounts and the community as a whole. We will not able to provide compensation for any time or in-game progress that may have been missed during our review.”

Lesson of the day: Your account does not mean anything to arena net, they will terminate it for whatever reason they feel like and refuse to give you any compensation.

How to avoid this: Don’t bother playing Ranger.

inb4 account gets terminated again

Apply the Eternity concept to all legendaries
1 Light and happy
1 Dark and menacing
= Transitional weapon based on day/night

so like:
Dreamer = happy
Nightmare=Menacing
=Slumber

Nightmare looks: Black horse head with glowing red eyes, the butterfly portion would be a dragons wing. The arrows would be replaced with a black horse with a grim reaper on top with a NCSoft logo on the rump.

Slumbers look: Dreamer during the day, Nightmare during the night.

precursor for the Nightmare: The Hater

Thanks for the quick answer ^-^

I have done some research on this topic and I have not found any real answers, I have seen a couple posts saying people wouldn’t equip their precursors just in case. After spending 20-30 gold in the mystic toilet I was able to get “The Lover” I would love to equip it while I farm away for the last 2 gifts for the dreamer, but I want to be certain that I can still be used after being equipped to make the dreamer. I know changing the skin invalidates its usage in the forge, so it really puts a giant question mark in my mind by making it soul bound by using it.

Happened all day
Missed the first daily because of it
Rate this is going im going to miss the 2nd daily too :/

Runiir.6425:

Yeah…no. No armor with particle effects all over them. This is not WoW, this is not an asian MMO (go look at some of the “special” armors from Aion).
Lets have armor that looks like armor. Fullplate armor is severely limited in this case, few armors look like good solid heavy plate (heck you don’t even see plate till 70+).

I personally find the flame legion armor rediculous for this game. The lore has the fire come from the person wearing it, not the armor itself, so why does it retain flames when we wear it? We aren’t members of the flame legion, don’t imbue ourselves with fire, thus we shouldn’t be spouting fire.
It’s fine for the legendary weapons…or if they had it, legendary armor.

They already have dye that is near legendary.

Abyss/Celestial – the tinting changes as it reflects the colors around it (more noticable on celestial, though abyss really changes with lighting changes better than celestial).

Midnight fire/ice – the tinting shifts based on the lighting. Midnight ice gets this frosted edges when around purple/white light, when in blue light conditions such as frostgorge it looks like ice is covoring your armor in a real thin sheet. Midnight fire shifts from a rust-brown to a brilliant ruby bright depending on the lighting.

There are a few other’s out there that are less rare with equally amazing looks (antique bronze shifts from dull bronze to shiney gold depending on lighting while it is on metal).

the heck have you been smoking ?

Try some basic troubleshooting for GW2 (See Part 1.1)

Didn’t even see the command lines before lol…
i tried -repair and it seemed to have worked so far, hiccups around the boss the fight for about 0.3~0.5 seconds but thats really nothing.

Ashley Segovia.8276:

Hi Wolfey To begin, Guild Wars 2 runs on it’s own client. It was never intended to be run with the NCSOFT Launcher, though NCSOFT are the publishers for Guild Wars 2.

Second, could you please provide a crash report that shows exactly what Fatal Errors you’re seeing? Generally Fatal Disk Errors indicate an issue with your hard drive. You can locate this file by navigating to Documents\Guild Wars 2 and locating the ArenaNet.log file.

Ah ok, I just found it odd that Guild Wars 1 was ran out of NCSoft Launcher even though it had its own launcher. Thanks for clarifying that for me though, after learning that snippet of information I deleted the NCSoft Launcher. (no point in having something look for updates and what not if it doesn’t apply for my main game)

I located the report, how would you like it sent? I really don’t like the idea of submitting more then what is needed to the general public, not that I am a conspiracy maniac or anything, Just as a college student going off of pure grants and what not, I want to decrease any risk or fraud attempts. (dunno what all is really stored inside the file aside from the basics. )

Thanks again.

Operating System: Windows 8 Pro
Computer: Laptop, Toshiba Satellite L840 w/ customization and upgrades done to the hardware.
Alternative Programs open while GW2 is running: NCSoft Launcher (for GW1,AION, dunno why GW2 wont go in there but w.e that’s a separate issue)

The issue:
While running dungeons and only dungeons I have been having issues with fatal errors…there is no real timing or real symptoms to go by. The only thing that happens is that the game window will go black for about 0.5~2 seconds then close with a fatal error message that stays up for about 0.5~1 second before closing as well. After going through my processes and all that fun stuff I notice there is nothing abnormal going on. This only happens when I am in dungeons, the most recent example is the Fractals Dungeon, the jumping puzzle one with the random monsters done in a asura style level (cant remember the instance name)

Prior to running windows 8 I have had no true issues so I’m sort of lost at what the root cause can be (inb4 some smart kitten says “ kitten windows 8 there’s your cause”)

The last Guild I have been in have been a waist of my time and energy, as well as care, no one in either of the guilds (pre-launch) and the one I have been in since Launch have been Oldbie friendly. I’m tired of explaining lore and story line to players who refused to play Guild Wars 1 or try to not sound like a bandwagon player by confusing newbies with false lore and answers.

I have two level 80 100% map completed characters, working on my third level 80.
I have finished Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, GWEN, Beyond (up to launch of GW2, haven’t logged back on GW1 since.) I have 40/50 HoM points (didn’t have a desire to farm the last 10 points, never really had the funds for obsidian and the last weapons to finish it up)

What I’m looking for in a guild:

1) A guild that has played Guild Wars 1 and knows the story line, my #1 pet peeve is when players play a sequel and complain about the storyline not making sense when they never played the prequel. Case in point, the people on these forums who nerd rage over Guild Wars 2 and have never played Guild Wars 1.

2) Mature and chill, I don’t want to deal with 9-12 year old kitten children who have crappy parents who will explode in guild chat if someone says something in an adult manner in chat. (I actually had a parent chew us out for saying “Fkn hell” lol…. I’m not interested in a “wvwvw now or i kick you!” or a “donate 100 gold for a promotion or i kick you” type of guild.

Probably asking for to much but eh….

Anyways I try to help everyone, rather if its on the forums or in game, If you want to hit me up just send a pm or whisp in game.

If any of the above 2 I will be anal on is #1, I truly want a guild that knows a kitten thing about Guild Wars 1.

Updating Weapon lookup/inventory images to reflect their current skins.
I can not tell you how many times I have seen a default weapon image then equipped it and though “this was actually awesome, glad i equipped it or I would have merched it”
Best examples are:
Gaze & Adam
Both focuses are a Necromancers wet dream, especially those who have played Guild Wars 1 and dreamed of using a human skull and being like Eve.

Another request is syncing the forum message system with the game message system. Would be nice to check both at both locations with out having to be on both at the same time.

Mine is more of a matter of timing but I usually go:
Long Bow → Barrage in the general area as soon as they hit stealth
At that point if I hit my timing correctly they are now revealed and are crippled
Switch over to short bow, start stacking poison, blood, daze right before he goes into stealth, (the effect when they go into it is quite easy to tell apart from their other skills)
If they manage to go back in stealth, go back to longbow and try again

I usually use a white raven as a pet, nice simple and small, something that can’t be targeted easily by thieves. Nice little blind bonus to interrupt their chain.

I would imagine im some weird way they would ultimately fall under the Queen.
In GW1 the throne was just a stones throw away from the city, granted things have changed, but in the end I would imagine the Queen has the final call.

I’m more or less going off a Greek idea, Lions Arch being like Athens or Sparta they are there own little city state; however, at times of neutrality or despair (they werent always in a 24/7 war with each other) they would conform under 1 king for military operations. With that being said, I would imagine that LA would be the real life equivalence of Sparta since it has been in a constant struggle against the Orrian undead and Divinities Reach would be like Athens with its temples and shrines to the gods.

I may just be blabbering on, but that’s what I think at least o.O

Didn’t see vizier mentioned above :o
And if you understood and apologized maybe you should have done the normal sane thing like most posters do and mod and fix your post
12 day’s ago doesn’t really mean anything when the post is still active at the top and is still being widely discussed :o

“Jumping puzzles are not mandatory to Map completion minus 1 vista, That is in the charr area and it is the Broken wall I believe.”

those are your words non?

All i did was prove your point wrong by showing there is another one that requires a vista that is a jumping puzzle so your argument of only 1 is invalid.

p.s. when i said def not i was being a smart kitten to note that your comment of 1 is invalid since vizier is also one.

o.o sorry if my word usage and word play was a little to hard for you.

If you do need help with sarcasm send me a private message i know a great tutor.

From a Lore Stand Point, not only no but hell no

Human in Charr armour = Suicide or hang him/her for treason

A human in Asura armour = A Midget Dwarf

A human in Sylvari armour = a pot head [couldn’t resist]

An asura in Norn Armour = God fkn zilla

Sorry to burst your limited bubble.

Charr can wear Ascalon dungeon armor, which is what there ancestors wore, then go around ruins where people visit and dance on the human’s graves.

Humans can wear Flame Legion Armor and dance around Black Citadel, laughing and nothing happens.

Humans can wear Twilight Arbor (sylvari) Armor and dance around the grove laughing, and nothing happens.

Asura can wear honor of the waves armor and look like a norn, dancing in hoelbrak and drinking beer.

I believe your complaint is kind of useless now.

Sorry to burst your limited self righteous egotistical bubble
But a presidence was already started for Charr wearing and using human artifacts for trophies. See Rytlocks sword But i figured spending 3 minutes of research on a topic before speaking would be over kill for you. P.S. this does not hold true for humans.

Dungeon armour is more of a thank you from a race for helping them finishing a task. It’s an acceptance of your races ability to commune with a race. Its like me going to Japan and being presented with a traditional wardrobe and a medal for some heroic deed. Does that mean i’m a full blown samurai entitled to wear traditional samurai wardrobe on a daily basis? umm no?
Zinggggg

Hell one better, if you still don’t understand.

I can wear a crucifix any day, does that mean I should be able to dress up as a priest? bishop? cardinal or pope? they all wear crucifixes why cant i wear their garbs? by your example its the same thing

If I wear a kippa does that give me the right to wear full rabbi garments and run around pretending to be a rabbi ?

If I wear camo does that mean i get to decorate my self in pins and ribbons and walk on a base and pretend to be a General?

If I put feathers in my hair do I have the right to call my self a Cherokee Chief?

I loved wintersday, the only annoyance was the development teams half kitten approach to decorating towns. C’mon 30% LA decorated for Wintersday only? really? and no decorations except a pile of magical snow in other towns v_v

I think the bar was set a little to high with halloween

Auntie.7864:

GW2 Wiki states both the glue and the stuffing needed to make the wintersday mini-pets can be acquired out of Giant Wintersday gifts. Please correct or clarify.

They gave drop % on the same page
Please read it before creating a thread…

though i give you + 1 for reading a wiki
that’s more effort then 90% of these wow kids have put into self development <3

all the spare minis (not from tixx) I tossed in forge and came up with 20-30 gold worth of minis. (had another post on the first day where i tossed 4 snowman in and got a polar bear)

Frames i tossed in forge with glue stuffing and glitter for tonics (i have all minis already)

Stuffing I gave it away to newbie guildies
Glue I did the same
Cogs I destroyed

I’m hoarding my spare weapon skins / snowflakes/ recipes/ unbreakable bells (x4) and Toymakers tonics (x3) till March then selling them off. May event off 1-2 Unbreakable bells to my guildies later o.O

Edit: I have no life, shh

It’s not a title nor does it count for any account medal or PVP or wvwvw bonus
maybe give those who finished it with all 5 alive originally x5 the anet achievement points for that achievement?

current one is: 20 points for 1
so 100 Points for those who got 5

Though, I don’t know if it’s possible to determine who had the 5 done before the achievement was amended.

From a Lore Stand Point, not only no but hell no

Kaimick.5109:

Jumping puzzles are not mandatory to Map completion minus 1 vista, That is in the charr area and it is the Broken wall I believe.

Jumping puzzles are meant to be fun and out of the way and takes skill to do some of them. With that said minus the ONE PUZZLE that ends where the vista is and doesn’t give you a chest like all the other ones, you don’t need to do any of them for Map completion.

Personally I think and they haven’t since, that putting a vista on a Jumping puzzle is a bad idea. With that said I think; and I speculate here, the reason why Arena Net did this is to show people there are jumping puzzles in the game and give them a taste of how they work. Sort of a introductory of something else you can do in the game, seeing as they haven’t put in a vista to any other puzzle out there I feel this is as close to accurate as anyone can get.

Vizier Tower is def not a jumping puzzle
def doesn’t count in the jumping puzzle pane
def doesnt have a jumping puzzle chest next to the vista

Only concern would be people abusing this system to finish PVE at virtually no travel cost and at 50-75% faster rate then those who have to run everywhere. o.O

You can wear costumes outside of towns, but you can not take damage while in costume (if you do take damage you revert back to your Armour)

None the less though, I do agree with your idea to implement town clothes outside of towns permanently as long as their was a a toggle to switch between costume skills and combat skills. [maybe a check box in the costume panel to activate the costume skills and deactivate them?]

Agreed, as long as It can not be used while in combat
Reason: would be abused heavily if allowed during combat to prevent death penalties and losing armor.

Loli Ruri.8307:

Why not program the forum to auto-reply to any mail that is sent your way, telling them generally where their info should be directed?

Software is software, there is no reason why somebody can’t make it happen.

Don’t have the programming to do that right now. I’m not a fond of auto-responses, but I may need to ask for that to get coded.

For your situation you should ask for a unique coding outside the default auto-responder. [unless i missed something outside the auto responders function]

Maybe something along the lines of:
-Before the user hits submit to send a message to you, a prompt will pop up that would require the user to scroll to the bottom before they are able to to close the prompt gui. Basically stating along the lines of: "If you are looking for support this is not the right location please file a ticket at: " < insert url > " or if you have a question please post it " < insert correct sub thread > " If none of those define your message purpose then please hit submit below "

~ Could push for an amendment code named “dumb kitten” to where if they submit a message asking for help regarding a ticket or anything that is not appropriate for a PM you would be allowed to gag their PM rights for disrupting players in need of help. Since essentially they are disrupting staff members from helping the other players who are waiting so in essence they are disrupting the players as well since they can’t fully enjoy the game.

O.o but ya, chances are all the new pm’s you are getting about tickets are from people just trolling you since they now know that it annoys you.

Some I have thought about:

Tortoise
Monkey
Lion (male and female, actually give the males a mane this time)
Baby Dragon (i have a whole story line and skill write up/ purification idea for it in another post)

Would be a neat idea;however, there are a lot of complications that would arise
1) Cultural armour
if your a charr and switch to human, you shouldn’t be able to wear charr cultural armour on a human, which could create a lot of QQ on wasted gold etc.

2) Story line issue, it’s true from the racial stand points, things can be adapted and changed by updating the first 15 chapters; however, you would also run an issue on future outcomes not being what you chose pursey.

3) Racial skill change, not a big deal, can be done easily but it would be another factor.

4) Home Zone areas being not-discovered. for those who go after map completion this is not a big deal or issue, but for the common newbie this would be a huge problem since you frequently have to return to your home town for cultural armour, weapons, story line, and what not.

It can be done, and I think it would be neat; however, I think there are to many complications at the moment for them to pursue it

Wait till march-april
wait for all the stuffing and glue to drop >/=3000 qty
at that rate at 0.1% for EL/0.1% unbreakable/ >20% for stuffing or glue
The numbers just work in your favor
Keep in mind that the sweater exchange vendors will most likely not be there when the event is over. So the chance of spawning more presents will be diminished heavily which means the supply on the market is the only available supply.

Best example I can give is Arachnophobia
kitten bow was going for 20-25 gold in November
Now heading toward the end of December its almost 50 gold.
[it can still be made, you can still buy the gifts on the tp, etc.]

Mistress Elemental.3750:

(Warning ahead of time, Sorry if its long winded and sounds like a temper tantrum but this is a serious complaint I have and I just cant keep it to myself.)

Please explain to me why the new mini’s are account bound? Why in the world would you do this? I am spending real money, to get minis I cant sell or trade. Not to mention if I get more than one of the same mini, wth am I supposed to do with it? This makes no logical sense. I can understand making the special mini (The Quaggan one) account bound because you have to trade three for it but once you have it, what do you do with the extra mini’s? I can’t sell them! Cant even give them away. I don’t need them for my other character’s.

Also, what if its nearing the end of the event and there is one or more minis I just cant seem to get. Am I supposed to spend my life savings and hope I dont get any more duplicates and just maybe be super lucky to get the ones I need? You wont allow me to buy the missing ones from TP. Is this your new marketing ploy. Making items impossible to get without spending real money or converting my in game money into gems.

I hardly ever have more than 5 gold at anyone time so I get to trade that in for what, 250 gems. I can only get two gifts with that and that is hours of hard work. I can’t earn it like others by doing dungeons and such because I have no friends who want to play the game and guild is hardly ever on. While that is unrelated and mostly my problem, it is just sickening to me that this is how you work with paying customer. I have spent so much real money on gems and it always worked out because I could sell the items I cant use or the mini’s already have. Now, you have taken that away. Its not worth spending my hard earned money for items I cant trade or sell. Its just sickening.

Allready answered this same question in 3 other forum posts, guess the moderators fell asleep on the job again when it comes to dupe posts.

USE THE EXTRA MINIS IN THE FORGE TO GET OTHER RARE MINIS
EXAMPLE:
SNOWMAN+SNOWMAN+SNOWMAN+SNOWMAN = POLAR BEAR/IMP/ ANOTHER MINI

The power of the search button goes over looked AGAIN

themiltank.4653:

- whips would be a neat addition

I’m sure caithe would approve of this when she visits Faoline

Would be neat to see:

Ranger:
-Crossbow

Thieves:
-Giant Shuriken (forgot the technical name)

Nah I’m not talking about mins, I’m talking about Ranger Pets or “companions” what ever is the current PETA approved term that is being used for GW2.

Your missing 4 minis of your wintersday list btw

So then why did we pursue a nearly 2 page discussion on how I am wrong when the essential agreement is that they should be playable and now that we both agree as long as certain lore criteria is met o.O?

Anyways merry christmas to all and to all a good night.
x) back to farming I go unless you think we should continue talking, worse thing that happens is that your thread gets more view time from the 2 pages of bumps :P!

Actually you still didn’t see what i was replying to then, you know your latest glamorous point of:

Your alternate view point is ‘no dwarves shouldn’t be playable’

which of course is false and you are caught with your pants down x)

Pencils Down ThatOddOne Time is up!

p.s. only way they can make a logical return lore wise is if and only If Primordus dies and all destroyers go bye bye. Then based on the lore it would be possible for the spell to be broken and the dwarves to be turned back to normal from their stone state.

x) as you can see I support the idea of them coming back as long as the lore matches their comeback and its not some fruity harry potter alakazam here we go.

dunno why c-o-m-e-o-n kid was kittened (without the -) but i fixed the post

Excuse me sir to use your logical arguments you are evading my weather theory which you cant disprove shoes on the other foot now hehehe

wtf now whos not reading peoples posts LOL
c-o-m-e-o-n kid read what i type instead of nerd raging that I don’t agree with you 100%
ill give you 3 minutes to find where I said ‘no dwarves shouldn’t be playable’

Weather takes longer then 200 years? lol someone tell Obama that Florida has found a time machines >.<!!!!!

Are you even bothering to consider the alternative points of views or are you just hell bent on being the dominate male and its your idea or the high way?

“Ogden was a priest of the Great Dwarf, and one of the renown heroes who defeated the Great Destroyer in 1078 AE alongside the asura Vekk, the norn Jora, the charr revolutionary Pyre Fierceshot, and the Ebon Vanguard officer Gwen. He was known to be reluctant to undergo the Rite of the Great Dwarf, but as it is not known how long dwarves typically live, it cannot be accurately stated when or why he underwent the rite. However, it is said that all of the dwarves were – by force, if necessary – to take the stony form. "

1) Living Stone
2) Aging can happen to stone, go to any mountain range for more information
-For less expensive field trip go to your nearest road and watch how cracks develop and how weather mostly rain and ice begins to cause those cracks to expand which ultimately causes pieces to break off. Same principal can and probably did happen to the dwarves.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ogden_Stonehealer

another side note from gw2 wiki regarding the tome:
“Though a great deal of dwarven lore comes from the Tome of Rubicon, the actual contents of the tome have been copied and re-written over the years, and sometimes its contents have been changed for political reasons.”

Actually they can die of old age, further reading through out the gw2 wiki states that they are vulnerable to the aging process; however, the exact median age for a dwarf to die off at was never really learned. Which goes back to before they became stone. With that in mind, logically it is not farfetched for some to reach 200-300 years of age with out dieing. However, with that in mind some of the older dwarves would have most likely died off. Ogden Stonehealer was quite the young dwarf in gw1.

They are fighting Primordus + Skritt +dredge
Primordus vs Dwarf = stale mate or the point of this thread would be 100% invalid since we will be talking about a game that does not exist
Dredge vs Dwarf= Some Success or they wouldn’t have a hit on Ogden
Skritt vs Dwarf= along as their are shinnies around Skritt win since they are explosive bound and explosions beats rock.
Father Time vs Dwarf = to be seen since the median age for death is not known before or after the stoning process began.

Icebroad hound probably not since that is strongly associated with a group of villians. To do that would mean you would have to allow thorn hounds and other evil pets into the mix. Keep in mind please, this is for special pets only, those that have a festive or unique tie to a gw event. Rather it be a holiday, lore, or unique event. Not a add more generic thread Explain why you think those 4 deserve something special, what about abilities, or time periods to tie them into?

Take a stone statue, break it half. Try fixing it flawlessly, go ahead ill wait :P
Now apply simple biology to that matter,
with that in mind decapitate a statue and try to fix it perfectly so that all missing minerals and fragments are added back just right.

According to the lore ALL Dwarves were forced to turn into stone.
Didn’t say just only the goodie dwarves turned into stone

The last dwarf spotting in the lore was of Ogden Stonehealer
Also another lore snippet:
“As the last known dwarf, he is targeted by the vengeful dredge which seek to eliminate all of the dwarves.”

Wouldn’t be the last if there wasn’t a way to kill them off o.o
I don’t think stone dwarves can reproduce, may be a little to much friction
which if they could reproduce then they are hiding in the forest hence all the forest fires .

I read the thread which includes your posts, for the most part I agree with the Dwarves coming back; however, as GW1 finished the hints dropped throughout the lead up to GW2 and in GW2 it’s self I think the only way they can comback is by having Primordus defeated to potentially break the spell that was cast on them.

They were turned into stone not bullet proof, bomb proof armour, I’d imagine some of em were probably destroyed by the inferior races when they fled to the surface. So the concept of having them do some type of super necromancy combat ninja stuff to fight a dragon doesn’t seem like it work out so well.

Sorry if my previous post was to vague on what I was aiming at.

I have been pondering this for a little bit, there is just one thing I really miss from Guild Wars 1 that is not present in Guild Wars 2. (If you didn’t play Guild Wars 1 go to the wiki and look it up, I’m not going to waist my breath explaining it to you in greater detail then what is needed to make a point)

Whats missing is Special pets
Currently the only special pets that are out there are the Hall of Monument Pets, which are cool. Here’s a potential list of pets based on holidays and festivities used in GW1 and so far in GW2.

Winters Day:
-Jingle Bear (Guild Wars 1 Pet, wiki if you don’t know him)
Same Attributes as Polar Bear,
Special: +5% Gift Find during the winter season, feint sound of bells with each step the jingle bear takes.

Canthan New Year (when the continent becomes available again):
[If you don’t know what Canthan New Year is wiki it]
-Celestial Version of the Animal of the New Year.
~Snakes (2013)
~Horse (2014)
~Sheep (2015)
~Monkey (2016)
~Rooster (2017)
~Dog (2018)
Special for above celestials: +50% chance for a +15 magic find to apply for 30 seconds, or -5% magic find to apply for 10 seconds. Auto re-rolls and applies when time expires. Cosmetically each animal would be made up of stars like the celestial minis in GW1 (wiki it if you don’t know )

Halloween:
-Grand Pumpkin
(Charlie Brown Reference to Great Pumpkin)
Would more or less be a Jack-o lantern that walks on vines
Special: 6% chance to find trick-o-treat bags +6% dmg at night
Only During Halloween will it find tot bags and deal the 6% dmg at night

Talk Like a Pirate Day
(celebrated in gw1)
-Parrot
Special Ability: Taunt, pulls a baddy towards you in confusion for 2 seconds then applies 4 seconds of rage to the baddy.
Cosmetically: Randomly blurts out insults.

Guild Wars 2 Birthday:
-Dragon Egg
How to hatch it:
Have to do something similar to the black moa scavenger hunt in gw1 (wiki it if you don’t know it) and have your order find a way to keep it pure from any elder dragon influence.
Special: Dragons Breath (like fire storm but with a 0.5 larger radius)

I know this is a lot for Rangers, but this would be a nice touch and encourage another form of collection as well as adding a tier of prestige to the game that everyone would be able to try and accomplish. Currently the only prestige are those who played GW1 and those who didn’t when it comes to Rangers.

Feed back is welcome, keep it civil, stay on topic

Using Same Recipe? No
Using Different Recipe? Sure

Why no? the current girly bow (most likely made by a dev member who was on acid at a my little pony convention) requires a couple materials that are exact to its look, case in point the unicorn statue. So unless the new manly bow uses a unicorn you run into a issue.

If you played Guild Wars 1 you know why they aren’t here
If you didn’t, then go spend the whole 5 minutes on GW1 Wiki and the search feature to the left.
Merry Christmas.

p.s. only way they can make a logical return lore wise is if and only If Primordus dies and all destroyers go bye bye. Then based on the lore it would be possible for the spell to be broken and the dwarves to be turned back to normal from their stone state.

We are not talking about cogs and frames, those minis have no relationship to the minis that are being discussed. That would be like comparing Wintersday Great Sword with Dusk.

Ya they are both great swords, but are acquired and are collected for different purposes.

By your logic, anet should give everyone free Legendaries out of Tixxs box since they did precursors out of the Karka event (yes that is the exact lateral translation of what you are purposing)

Note: Anet gave the extra cogs out because some users got royally screwed by the individual events and couldn’t obtain them (legit anet error via scripts), instead of wasting 3-4 weeks of reading tickets and logs (look back at karka event how long it took them to fix that mess) they just did a batch hand out to make up for it.

Admit it you want anet to hand you everything so you don’t have to do anything
