Guild Wars 2

well to clear up some confusion, this is less about skins, actually didnt even consider them at all, its more about gear stats, like when changing builds and being left with a bunch of gear that you cant use on another toon unless its ascended, and are stuck either having to salvage it, assuming it can be, or letting it collect dust in the bank. For those with multiple toons, regearing is quite expensive, think this would really help a lot of players. It would still be account bound, if they did it with ascended gear, I think it would be very helpful to do it with other tiers

well we did tell you in your other post, what roamers do is easier done by multitaskers who are not interested in 1v1 because they are pointless time wasters to most people here, its all about speed, drop from a zerg, to do a quick camp/tower cap, back to zerg, scout etc.

your opposed to making gear on your account useable on other toons on your account? And your reason is because you think this game is to casual? Did you give more then half a second of thought before posting what you did?

ah just saw DB moved to t2, ah kitten good luck escaping the blobs there, that double teaming came back on SoS and pushed them out lol

ahh yea the blobbing is annoying as hell, and I recognize the guild name, well good luck to you guys whatever you decide to do, cant say I blame you. Though with DB getting so many transfers recently and dominating their tier, you guys sure you thought it out?

dying in wvw helps you a lot, gives you incentive to analyze your build and what the opponent did, this way you can have a better understanding of the do’s and dont do’s and this will help you develop better skills.

and dont insult your militia, they are very important

they probably dont have the time during the week, real life comes first

just put on some Pink Floyd and relax bro

Hey good luck to you guys, what guild are you btw? Curious why you would leave TC, seems like a pretty stable server

people go to wvw for loot??? lol what

oh I hear ya, back in the old t1 days, queues used to go on into Saturday morning hours lol, usually now they thin out after an hour or 2, sometimes more depending, best thing you can do really is just be ready to go in as soon as it resets, we used to wait right by the portals waiting for the reset to avoid those long queues. Look forward to hunting you down

if your talking about the feast of truffle steak dinner recipe, then yes you need to be lvl 80 to actually use the recipe for crafting, but I think you can still learn it by double clicking it

he says the recipe requires him to be lvl 80, and the toon he maxed chef with is not lvl 80

cant complain about that, whether regular wvw’ers or not, more is more

For one thing its the start of the weekend, its when a lot of people are on, and dont have the time for wvw during the week because of work, family, school etc. Reset nights are also important for getting a head start on PPT. No server wants to end a reset night trailing by 15k and owning nothing, it sets a bad tone for the rest of the week, but if you start out well people will be more enthuasitic about the match and fight harder to win.

check out the Glorious Armor set, its pretty cool on mediums too

you can buy the food and use it. The achievement is not tied to one character, its account wide. And foods/gear are tied to player level because of their strengths.

there have been quite a few over the last couple days, its repititve posts like this that bury them

There are posts alreadt, and yes there was a raffle done

kinda seems harsh that +5stat infusions that many dont use, should keep people from being able to use gear…little overkill isnt it?

turret engis in wvw hehe :p why didnt he just whip out a flamethrower while in there

Ive had those kind of messages in game, Idk anyone who hasnt its part of any game with a social aspect. Just report and block, really all you can do, and all you should do. Such idiots are not worth anymore time.

That was my intention as well until I had someone responding as if I offended them, when it turns out it was this player in the map insulting people. So I’m now I’m wondering if this is considered verbal abuse. If not, then I’ll feel better about actually responding to these idiots in kind.

Responding to them is a matter of discretion, generally engaging in an arguement with such morons will get you angry and when angry we all make mistakes and say things that get us in trouble. So it might backfire to say anything in response. So matter of personal choice, just be careful in what you say, because they can go ahead and report you as well.

Generally I believe anet bans people in waves, though not sure if this is just for botters, cheaters etc. But yea it needs to be investigated and you can probably imagine how many incidents there are, also remember with the holidays they had some days off. I would just suggest anytime you see this person abusing other players, just report a couple times for verbal abuse, and eventually they will be suspended, or banned for repeat offenses.

Someone who writes that should be ashamed.

Someone who reposts it on the forums as well.

OP breaks several forum rules and should remove his post, if he doesnt want to risk a forum infraction.

Just block him and move on.

So it’s okay to break rules (and laws) in game, but it’s not okay to break the forum rules (rules which PROTECT cheaters, hackers, exploiters, and abusive people?)

The person in the screenshot should have his account terminated.

Forum rules do not protect cheaters, hackers etc. There is a seperate way to report them. It is not supposed to be reporeted publicly because it gives public knowledge to them and essentially tips them off in advance that someone is on to them and simply makes them change whatever hack, exploit, cheat, glitch they are doing

I would like to suggest getting rid of soulbinding, and replacing anything like it as account bound will make gear useable by other characters and will help players save a lot on gold and mats when deciding to change builds or whatever. Making Ascended account bound was a nice step, I suggest going further and getting rid of soulbound altogether because it is simply to restricting and leaves players with a bunch of useless gear on a toon/in bank that they could put on another toon, just because they changed builds and stats.

its in place to make it so that crafters and people in the economy always have business.

I understand that, and it is valid, but I am also suggesting it stay account bound. and its not like people switch their normal gear everyday. I think this would simply just make it easier to help players shift gear around to characters that can actually use it instead of having it take up space in their banks and mule toons.

well not to further steer this post of course, but thats one reason I avoid pvp. Everyone runs the same build and just runs around a point with a bunker build. And to much stealth, illusions, turrets, spirits, minions etc…thats not pvp, kind of a joke.

@randulf, If that was directed at me then no I havent, this is just something Ive had an issue with for awhile and wanted to put up a suggestion thread. Didnt make it for me, otherwise I would have contacted support.

I think it will help for fights guilds add a lot to their servers ppt, which hopefully will help server stability. Of course it will favor the servers with the higher population and most coverage, but its hard to come up with something that doesnt. WvW is a numbers game plain and simple.

yea it just seems like a very inconvenient and restrictive system, would really help a lot of players, especially new players

ah ok I see now, but I’m saying that the restriction in the first place seems irrelevant and uneeded, I know theres ways around it, just seems inconvenient, especially for people that dont do fractals and dont have the mats to infuse them

use the gear icon to turn it off…

Sorry am I missing something? My point is if I have 2 of the same rings/accessories I cant use them on the same toon, which forces me to buy another item with the same stats, which is kind of a waste. I know also a lot of players have this issue as well as being confused about not knowing about this restriction in the first place

Im not concerned about gold, laurels, badges, commendtions etc. I just think this is something that needs to be changed

thats not what I mean, was talking about the restrictions on it

there has to be a more conveient way of doing that

Suggestion Thread:

Please remove the restriction preventing us from equipping 2 of the same ascended rings/accessories, or at least explain why this was ever implemented.

FYI please dont say oh just put on an alt or save for later, thats not the point of this post.
Its just a general suggestion for Anet, not because of a personal issue.

It is a ridiculous amount for a one use item, what they need to do is make wvw/karma gear salvageable for upgrades, I dont care about any freaking ectos or inscriptions. I just want my kitten upgrades back. There is no rune or sigil that is worth 250 gems at the current gem prices. For those very expensive infusions fine, but thats still very expensive. But consider how many people have those infusions, then consider how many people would love an affordable way to get upgrades back from karma/wvw gear. This has been going on to long anet, get your qol team on it.

personally I think this entire wintersday has been an unmitigated disaster. This is an event I look forward to all year every year every since starting gw1 5 years ago. There is little to nothing to do, and what there is to do I dont care for. Bell Choir Ive never understood. I hate JP’s. Toypacolyse and the infinarium is boring and I dont care enough about gold to farm the gifts to sell them, also I hate farming the same thing over and over for something useless. The gifts themselves got a tiny bit better after last weeks patch, but the original drop table was just insulting…useless runes and sigils, and now snowflakes with no value, nothing in those gifts of any value has a decent drop rate..aqua breather/tonic recipe etc. The frostbitten tools are nice, everything else is pretty much useless. But to me the worst part was the kitten setting. When I heard it was to be in Divinity’s I though YES perfect place, the best designed city to have the best holiday decorations. Then I find out its to crown pavilion and only a tiny sliver arc shape, a narrow section and thats it, havent even seen that dolyak do a run in days because nobody bothers anymore. Just dailies and out. And speaking of dailies I havent been able to get to the 5 dailies once yet because bell choir and the jp are there everyday, and Ive never done those successfully, so my meta bar has not been progressed. So yea very disappointed and really hope the next time they dont screw it up so badly.

capes were ok in gw1, never like to wear it because it clipped with everything when moving, if they ever put it in I cant see myself personally having it displayed

idk what sao is, but gaming is always nice during the holidays

boosters last 1hour, mounts can be used anytime, speed boosters are only 15%

better question, why is queen jennah shoeless, surely her majesty can afford a pair of flip flops or stylish sneakers?

AHHHH OMG no, the nightmares, almost forgot about those lmao, thanks for reminding me grrr

santa will have to bring you a new video card, always love these, we used to do quaggan parades long time ago, its nice not being attacked by enemies that just watch you walk through

Like seriously is it so hard give a 30% speed bonus and call this items mounts and just make everyone happy?

Yes. Especially since introducing mounts (or, even more, mounts granting speed bonus), would make a lot of people really unhappy.

how? explain me how a sane person would be unhappy by having the ability to purchase an item in the gemstore (thats already in the gemstore) but it only has some speed buff bound to it

1. People are against gemstore items to give a direct advantage like a speed-boost to those who own them.
2. People are against speed-boost mounts in general. One of the arguments is that it breaks the immerson in the game and it makes the world of Tyria less meaningful.
3. It goes against the lore where the Asura dominates travel in Tyria.
4. It goes against the purpose of having waypoints game-play wise.

Now, you can apparently arugment against these points too however what I mentioned was just an example of the many arguments people have to prove that mounts aren’t needed in GW2. We simply have alot of people who really despite mounts. Mounts are going to be there as cosmetics however, I doubt we will see any speed-boosting mounts anytime soon.

well said, its fine if you want like a non combat toy mount consumable like those carpets or brooms, but when it comes to actually applying direct buffs thats when it really causes a problem

what exactly do you think can be accomplished by wasting developer time implementing mounts? what possible good would it do in this game? Please explain this to me. What is there to gain by adding mounts???

The same thing accomplished as making living story, aka nothing.

Don’t get me wrong, i don’t like mounts all that much especially since i like to look at my character and not have the mount constantly be in the way. But if i were to pick something that i can customize and progress my character horizontally vses a living story that can be finished in 10 minutes and forgotten after, i prefer the former.

Living story, like it or not adds content, maps, skins, advances lore and storyline, how do you compare that to something that would be so completely out of place in gw2 like mounts

Most of the content, maps and skins can be added without a “living story” . As for advanced lore and storyline, i don’t play mmo for its story because they are all terribly written and gw 2 is no different.

DA: inquisition is out for anybody who actually wants a story and lore that is worth caring about.

Just because things can be added w/o a living story does not negate the practical purpose of having a living story, and just because you dont play for story, doesnt mean everyone else is the same, its always this me me me attitude, there is no practical reason to implement mounts here, again why is that so hard to understand.

My guardian and mesmer are painful to get anywhere due to no speed boost,a nd I hate playing them for that reason. I would welcome mounts. That said, I played a druid in EQ1, so in my opinion ALL games nowdays suck completely and totally when it comes to speed and movement. In my view, the tele points are a weak copy of druid port abilities.

guardians can get perma swiftness very easily, if speed is such an issue use traveler runes, if gold is an issue, farm it. Wow problem solved
