Guild Wars 2

Your bank has been cloned, this means you can do anything with what you have and it will not be lost. Get a upgrade and switch out the celestial. No money, karma or laurels will be lost from your game account.

you need to open the equipment chests you get in your inventory with the beta character. The equipment armour etc all have selectable stats, the first set you are wearing does not, it is always celestial.

Snipers need to be brought back, they are a slight pain but that is all they are.
I also think that I can take on too many mobs at once, great that the character is killing everything but that to me becomes boring fast. No requirement to slow down and think.

The data was corrupted due to new updates to the dat. So beta characters need to be re-done

You would almost think a bunch of people where trying to access something at the same time.

The way that they set up the split of account to be able to play the open world with access of a mirror of your bank made this not possible according to many similar threads. So in other words not going to happen.

Extrapolation is a wonderful thing.

How exactly is outrage incoming new in any way?
Release something someone is deeply offended, don’t release something and that deep offence arrives again.
Every single proff is hated with a passion by the game developer, that other one over there is the pet profession that the game developer will do anything for.
That thin line of reality is well back in the rear-view mirror of so many people.

thanks dulfy.

They have said they are releasing a mastery line called pact commander or something that does this. Read the news releases.

wow, people who want to feel bad will go to any lengths to do so.
In other words what are you on?

To answer Mirta’s question: Probably ill be left with the huge amount of people who will get this expansion and play it.

the last time I’ve heard “you should leave” was when Wildstar was being heavily defended. And look where it ended up when people did instead of complaining just got up and left.

Actually it was very nice when this happened. Zero negative impact as far as I could see.

Absolutely everything is melee. You could equip a sword/x on ranger and be a very effective melee with your brother.
Everything also has a different feel when in melee,
The white bread melee of warrior is just what every game has in a hit things till they fall down feel. Guardian is similar to warrior with a few more F keys to increase group damage and reduce incoming damage.

I am excited for both, I love water combat personally. Some proffs absolutely could be improved underwater, some like ranger, necro, mesmer and engie are absolutely amazing underwater.
I have a sneaking suspicion that there will be water in the bottom of the map we saw in beta. If you fell below the poison field and looked up the waterfalls look exactly like they do when they hit the air water interface in a normal map. Could just be a graphics thing in beta, but if not it will be interesting to see what they change combat wise for the expansion release.

Good post.

If anything this newest event is the polar opposite of grind.
It is dull, it is not well rewarded and it is drawn out. Perfect for not doing, thus zero grind.
Masochists however love it and come here to express their love in the way they do best.

Thanks

Anyone have a dead horse giff?

np

everything stays, all account bound items in the bank can be used. All soulbound items are lost (ie you can’t use them even if you see them). Private guilds also are trans-server so everything is saved there as well if you have one.

I believe that the very basic game was removed a very long time ago game wise and everyone got heroic addition. I could be miss-remembering though.

@Wiella no idea why you quoted and responded the way you did to my post.

There are a couple of official non-anet sources of pre-purchase. Read to see if you get a key now or on Oct 23 on those sites.

Kind of missing the point with specializations it seems.

Not a mumble, quite clear in fact.

So you want an armour option to take zero damage? Why not just move out of the way, most of the time you don’t even need to dodge. It makes it much more interesting game for me.

Soon they will be ‘forcing’ you to buy the expansion under your logic. Guess you have a busy forum time ahead of you.

I found that it is a matter of knowing the mobs, you can still die but you reduce the chances.
Champ giant toads have the same type of attack as husks at tripple wurm, stun then punch. If you avoid the stun you avoid the punch and take no damage.
Champ tree frogs have an aoe killer attack that is easily hidden in visual effects, but if you do spot it then again zero damage.
Wyvern, stay to the side to avid the knockdown and flame breath.
Smoke thingies, draw them out of the red circles since they take no damage in it, their damage has been reduced in their mist attack so fairly easy now.
Snipers —dodge, put up a reflect if you have one, break line of sight if you don’t.

NW corner of map (doomteeth) there is a door part way up a cliff that can be accessed by gliding. Wonder if it will be guild hall location or Raid entrance.

Taken from the link above:

For our second beta weekend test, you’ll be landing in a different part of the map than the one we showed in our first beta weekend, and you’ll be able to explore a new area: the jungle-floor biome.

hmm, ok so that is what the floor looks like. Although a group that calls pine hardwood isn’t really too picky about naming.

is part of the game already, just use one of the beta character slots in your login screen.

We where closer to the canopy than the floor for both BWs. Roots I would say would be below where we could fall to, could be wrong but to me roots are underground unless they are all Epiphytic plants.

Hard trinity is not going to appear. It is that simple. Endlessly wailing about it will not change anything.

I can sort of see your point about dry top and silverwastes, really don’t enjoy those zones. I think however when the entire map(s) come out you will not be tied to doing chains to get to the ‘good’ stuff. That is because the place is just too big to do something like that, it is hard enough getting 4 groups to do silverwastes can you imagine 8 groups? So I could be wrong but those chains seem like something you will follow one or more chains through but all of them at all levels of the map would not work, it will be more like Orr than the last 2 maps released.
I think it is great not to have hearts, vistas are ok but the mastery point spots more than make up for their loss.
I saw a ton of mobs that where in no way connected to events.
Movement is great for me, jump off somewhere high and get to another area, or look for the mushrooms (can drop you in the middle of angry tree frogs, but meh).

Reason for a TP : Security, Reduce Inflation, easier to use, free up the map and lfg of all the sellers.

Reason for direct trade : I don’t wanna pay the fee.

And paying the fee is good for the game, as you and previous posters mentioned.

I see this thread coming again next week, with all the newcomers.

this and other topic " we want wow dps meters!"

That was already up this week.

Is there really a need for another thread about this? It has been really done to death already.

If you bought the game before January sometime this year you will get an extra slot in addition to the slots for the 2 higher priced options. It could be delayed a bit but will arrive. Beta slot will show up right away.
Nothing will carry over from beta to live.

They want people to be on a level footing for building characters from day 1. That means the chances of bypassing are fairly close to zero. We are going to have to find the way to get elites in game after release anyway, it won’t be open until your character finds it from what I understand.

still on first page, not hard to find at all.

We got the reset already. Won’t be another one.

Legenfleet.4603:

That’s a crying shame, I already unequipped all my equipment and stuff over 5 characters to stuff in the bank

Keep it there, a clone is made of all bank material. Can then be used by beta characters and won’t be lost/destroyed or otherwise removed from your non beta bank. Can sell everything in the beta characters banks and will show you how much junk you actually have

Always listen to the Pope.

Mourningcry.9428:

GW2 made me aware of Angry Joe… does that count?

Same, seems to be a typical game locust, never felt the need to find out more.

Don’t quite get how this is news.

Not released, not even beta tested. Good reason to rant.

Buy it with gold, people who don’t like crafting are exactly the people catered to by ANET by allowing them to be sold by players.

Don’t panic it is not a problem. You have 2 active crafting abilities at any one time (can buy more active with gems for some reason) but every character can gain experience in every craft, switch by talking to the npc, you do not lose any experience if it is switched out to a different one.
As said above it is not really vital which you take but if you only have the warrior a armour crafting and weapon crafting works.

Edit: guess I was slow in typing. Also use https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players for better advice.

I can see why they did what they did. It basically comes down to picking a number, if it is too big people don’t do it, too small and it is just another dungeon run.
Scaling does not work even though the concept is good, implementation is usually horrible.
