Guild Wars 2

Oh yes, keep it civil SFR. Because other servers are always civil and mannered. Oh well.

Good luck everyone, here’s to hoping that season 1 will be a fun experience for everyone involved.

Every map will have door-looking icons. Go there, trick or treat them and after defeating some enemies they will open up. Interact with them to teleport to the mad king realm, then from there interact with the halloween pumpking thingie on the floor to get teleported to the Mad King Labyrinth!

Don’t get me wrong, everyone is entitled to play how they want! If you are having fun with what you are doing that’s great, more power to you!

I just wanted to avoid people getting to level 80 in 5 days and then going “OMG NUTTHIN TO DO FAIL GAME” when they explored 5% of the world

But that’s because elementalists are harder to play than say, a Guardian or a Warrior. Buff elementalists because bad ones fail and watch how the good ones dominate everything.

I recall people at launch crying that mesmers and elementalists were extremely weak. Fast forward 2 months, almost no balance changes, SPvP is dominated by elementalists and mesmers because people finally understood how to play them. See how volatile and worthless the perception average joes have of a class is? (and before people jump on me, I don’t know much about elementalists, the only claim I make is to be a relatively impartial observer)

Quite a difficult problem to solve.

Kingface finally did his coming out as an alleged roamer, now that his server is the underdog expect many comments at how he’s supa-good and we all a bunch of blobbers

Yet more misinformed nonsense from a particular forum user that has no clue on how this game works. Not big surprise

As for revisiting the health values, I think they should simply shorten the gap a little, so they are more free with their balancing of specific traits/skills. As for elementalists, their access to defensive boons is almost at Guardian-level, so I don’t really see the need for an HP increase.

Way to miss half of the game! Oh well guys, it’s your choice!

Halloween will last 1 month.

Pheppo.9286:

And a good roamer will not “finish” his opponent at the end of a hard fight instead you ./bow.

I kill them and /bow after. Am I a good roamer?

Also I doubt anyone thinks they are good because of stomping 1 enemy with 5 allies but what can I do? Yell in chat to leave me alone? WvW is not about fair fights (there’s always the windmill for that) so it sucks being outnumbered but what can people do? <.<

I can’t help you with the issue, but maybe I can help you preventing further ones. Buy an invisible bag and put everything you don’t want to risk selling in there.

SPvP, how much does it earn me? Ops sorry, not “Playing the game”. Ever noticed how PvP lobby has way less people since the introduction of ascended weapons? That’s because players that liked both that an PvE stopped because it’s fun, but not profitable.

Wanna talk about WvW? How many orichalcum nodes do I gather while in there? How many t6 and globs? Wait, don’t capture that keep, I gotta stop to mine that rich iron ore.

Go back to your fun and profitable activities (champ trains? cofp1 over over again?), you are wasting potential g/h by posting in here. What a condescending and unsufferable attitude. I’m done addressing your bigotry.

Yes. You won’t be that great in huge zergs, but Rangers fare well in small-scale combat (as much as people with terrible builds will tell you otherwise)

Various interviews, sorry but can’t be bothered searching them. They said that a new class is not something they are currently working on, nor planned for the near future as they feel the 8 classes we have already cover a lot of archetypes. That is not to say that we’ll never see a new class, but that they’d rather focus on existing classes with new traits/weapons/skills for the near future.

Not anytime soon, the devs said.

Yes, if it’s okay for me why can’t it be for anyone else?

And if I gather 200g of mats or buy 200g of mats it’s the same alltogether, it’s still 200g worth of things you need in order to have BiS items. Opportunity cost rings a bell for you?
Last month I spent 20h+ inside SAB because I loved trib mode, how many mats did I get for “simply playing the game?”.

Pretty awesome inc at Jade Sea some minutes ago against 3 though as nails Riverside (sorry forgot the guild name, it was an engi a guardian + another). Thanks for the fight and know that [DEAD] will be coming for revenge!

Zumy.6318:

Thank you everybody from GH for attending. Good fights indeed!

Vizunah also came once and ended the event :

Mos takes pleasure in ruining other people’s fun. They go there purposefully to troll enemies (don’t make up excuses, they do it all the time and it’s not for fights. What could 4 guys possibly make?) and crash anything that’s not their 1 spamming noskill zerging. And with people like that Vizunah wants to come off as a well-mannered server. Ooookay.

Next time gather 4-5 people more and just send them back to the spawn

P.s. sorry again for the intrusion

Hotjoin isn’t competitive.

1) Alt-friendlyness (WPX ranks)
2) Commander system
3) New maps?

PVE

1) Ascended gear, especially armors & weapons.
2) Living Story
3) Overflow system, especially concerning Tequatl and other open world raids.

What is this I don’t even. Surely casuals aren’t barred from getting Legendaries too right? They just need 2 years per weapon, but hey, apparently reasonable timeframes aren’t part of the equation here.

Face it, Ascended Weapons are a time/money sink that serve no other purpose other than giving you a carrot to chase. And in one swoop they manage to hamper skin diversity, build diversity and of course alt-friendlyness. Also worth nothing that this makes balance changes (a necessary evil) a nastier thing, because that set you spent so much time to get might now be very weak.

So I am presented with 2 choices: either chase them to obtain them at a reasonable rate (doing things I dislike like farming nodes or doing 15 temple events per weapon), or play the way I want ( WvW, SPvP, alt levelling, changing builds ) and see 1 of them each 2 months.

Getting these two has been one of the most boring things I’ve ever done in GW2 and reminded me one of the reasons I don’t play MMOs. So I simply decided to stop caring and will probably get my next ones at a snail’s pace.

Edit: sorry for derailing the thread OP, will refrain from further posting.

Ahlen.7591:

Yet another “effort” (farming is putting effort by the way) post

First of all, don’t try and sway the subject of my post. You said that with 30 minutes a day I could level up the professions. Truth is, that 30 minutes a day only give you a portion of what you need, so if we were to gauge how much playtime you need to level up a profession, your statement would be a plain lie. “Just do ori/ancient” runs doesn’t cut it. At all.

Secondly, do I really need to dig up the “Everyone, including casual gamers, by level 80 should have the best statistical loot in the game” from Game Director Colin Johanson? Even if what you typed were my expectations (and they aren’t), this quote alone would justify them.

Ahlen.7591:

And crafting can be leveled with time (30 minutes a day to do Ori/Ancient wood runs).

And do the 30 minutes a day to mine Ori/Ancient also give you the 60+ globs of ecto and 60+ T6 mats needed to level up one profession?

Misslol.9741:

Queue solution: anet gives queue priority based on how long a player stayed on the server… So bandwagoners will come after.. And coverage influx won’t be affected

Dream on

Best. Idea. Ever.

I don’t know who lord dom is (the ele in the video?) but I’m not judging players, just saying that ele staff is extremely weak in duels And no I’m not joining TDS, there’s Itkoviana in there and that guy is scary

I sent him a PM so this hread could die in peace and there you go kribre! You ruined it! I explained him how mace is kind of a terrible 1 vs 1 weapon (unless your aim is simply surviving), how staff eles are terrible at 1 vs 1 etc etc but I got no response

That’s awesome man Do you still have slots open?

I have had my first fight in WvW were both me and the enemy went down at the exact same time. Lovely <3

This topic is precisely what they meant by “cleverly disguised” personal attacks.

I am by no means “cleverly attacking” anyone. Policy is policy and it has been made clear that it can not be discussed, which I have no interest in doing any longer.

I’ve accepted the policy and with that, I have accepted the consequences. I am looking for the best advice for keeping valuable items from being lost.

I’m still looking for an answer about creating a guild, will it be lost if my account is terminated? Would it be better for someone else to create the guild that I can place all my items into?

You are making a cleverly disguised attack by trying to provoke a controversy around worrying about being “unreasonably” banned in-game by moderators.

This. Really fun (or sad?) to see how far people go just to keep the atmosphere toxic. Hint: don’t attack people, cheat or exploit. You won’t get banned. You are welcome.

@Mirmy yeah I know he is trolling, but he’s kind of a mediocre troll, not really dangerous!

@ mighty hey don’t make jokes about the ability of our french friends, kingface will threaten to kick your kitten if you do!

Thing is, I think this has been given too much attention imo. As a frequent forum user I’ve seen an extremely low amount of posts that could qualify as ban-deserving.

How could you? Those posts get deleted.

Simple really, I get there before a mod does.

What’s more interesting is what are considered “cleverly disguised” personal attacks? Could a mod make an example? The one Danicia did clearly isn’t cleverly disguised :p

Edit:
Or say, here’s a post from the forums, hoping that me quoting a forum user is not an infraction of any rule
“Just wait until the students hit level 80…. then the teacher will teach the students about motion and gravity when he throws the box into a garbage can”

How does that cope with the new change in rules?

Everyone has an opinion, most of them are horrible. The majority of mine are deleted, and for good reason :P I’m also a huge Danicia fanboy now, so disregard that.

I was a Danicia fanboy before it was cool!

Is that sarcasm? Very hard to tell, and unwanted. Please tell me.

I was joking, chill out. Let’s not derail the thread.

Now at people against the change: nobody at Arenanet stole your lunch money, if you think they did a bad job with the game you simply say so without all the useless anger. Is it that hard?

You can open pretty much any bag at your current level, the drops won’t change based on your level. Profit-wise it’s probably better to sell the bags, but honestly don’t care about getting that extra 10% money from drops.

As for candy corn, you can get a 20 slot bag with them, but it costs 15.000 candy corns and I doubt you can afford that many. I say sell them (they go for 80c each and drop quite easily) but keep a considerable chunk (possibly a stack deposited in your bank) just in case you decide to level a profession (they are used for some nice food recipes, a rune and something else I think).

Talking about black lion chests is opening a can of worms… they do contain extremely good items, but the chances to get them are extremely low. Not to mention that keys may as well not drop, as 1 year worth of playing got me 3 keys other than the guaranteed ones you get from Personal Story. But since there’s nothing else to do with keys and chests, I say go for it! Maybe you’ll luck out and get a ticket to buy that sweet Silly Scimitar skin (check it out).

Just tried to complete it with longtime friends. Disappointed. A step backwards imo.

Actually new races and areas are on the table and in a not-so-remote future. New classes are on the table too, but something I wouldn’t expect anytime soon (2+ years from now)

Isn’t Chris Whiteside gonna open a post with a thread for a similar purpose? Anyways:

1) ignore feature on the forums
2) ignore feature on the forums

Personally I think you’ve actually come at the perfect time because for the most part the " lack of end game " as many call it may slowly begin to be stamped out if rumors of the next patch are true.

Very curious as to what these “rumors” are…care to share?

I just returned after nearly a year…I got a few toons up to the mid 20s and then left for MoP…now I’m back and my new toon is in the 40s and I am in love with this game like it’s beta all over again. Maybe it’s because I’ve put WoW behind me for good, and that I’m not rushing AT ALL to 80, are why I’m enjoying the game as much as I am.

I don’t get the negativity at all, it’s confusing. The game is better than when it launched, which was when everyone loved it. Maybe people need to take a break like I did!

If you missed some of the dungeons like Aetherblades and Molten Alliance, sorry you are NEVER going to play it again.

If I am not mistaken SAB will make its return soon for people Hoping for it.

So far since ascended weapon rollout I dont think I have missed anything fun, feel free to correct me.

I thought the new dungeon path in TA is the best dungeon path yet. I like it far far more than I like either the Molten Dungeon or the Aetherblade dungeon.

The Molten dungeon had the trap room which was cool and the last two bosses. The etherblade dungeon had a couple of decent bosses. This room has more rooms with more mechanics that actually require people to pay some attention, and know what they’re doing.

The new TA path, so far, is my favorite dungeon to date in Guild Wars 2. Mind you, I’ve never had to pug it. lol

I pugged it first time around and simply asking questions my party was kind enough to answer We got around it pretty nicely, wiping only once at the last boss I think.

People threaten to shelve their Guardians because they fixed a bugged trait that used to cleanse 1 additional condition ( I use that trait ).

Somehow, we are managing to cause a kittenstorm over a patch that contained mostly buffs for every class. It’s sad really.

Careful with mummies. They are extremely slow but their punches hit HARD.

What Bezayne said

No, add me! Add meeeee! I’m better than those three guys put together!

Not but seriously, if any of them aren’t logged in, give me a shout. EU resident though.

Just no uber-specific questions related to builds ( Guardian is fine though, I main that ) coz I don’t know enough :p

I seriously want to see XRKUN leading in map chat ahah

C: Veil 1 Veil 2, Hammer Stun on me!
P: Ehm dude, you are standing still to type…
C: Water fields and blast finisher, heal up guys empower empower
P: We died 10 seconds ago sir…

GW2 is an overall good game, welcome

Who cares about legendaries anyways, they are just a cool looking, huge grind skins.

Wasn’t pet health buffed by 71% in PvE? That seems like a quite good buff.

Tequila has some considerable issues that many pointed out (waiting time being my biggest concern), yet I find his update a good one. My server and at least 2 other in EU still kill him quite regularly, but it is people organizing themselves, not random pugs just jumping in there. Those have given up, thankfully.

GSS bro you are a console peasant? That’s a big disappointment.

Now to answer the thread: most probably.

wlcome, please never engage in any discussion about balance on these forums

Galtrix has visited every single server (both EU and NA) so he totally knows what he’s talking about.
