Guild Wars 2

Can’t see huge benefits from this but also can’t see huge problems either. Would be a cost benefit issue for the company to decide.

Honestly, I wish ArenaNet would just come out and say “It’s not an expansion.” so people would shut up, but that wouldn’t be a good business move.

I wont speculate on whether or not it is an expansion. If it is, then great. If it isn’t, then it’s business as usual and the game will just chug along like normal. Either way, we’ll find out soon enough what all the fuss is about.

They will come out and say on Saturday. Why say anything now?

Yes, I know. I just said that… did you only read the first sentence and immediately reply? It really wasn’t that much more reading. Come on.

Yes I read it and the experience was not enjoyable. Come on.

If you craft rare gs then mf them when you have the mats plus play and save gold you might get lucky before you hit 1+k gold to buy it. But if you are saving you will eventually get there .

Why do GW1 players think 20 is some kind of magic number? Frankly it does not matter at all. They picked 80, it could have been zero, 5, or 500.

You absolutely can use mail to sell whatever you want. The company however has clearly stated they will not compensate losses but will take action against the one who did the scam. They also don’t allow/want forums or LFG to be used for sales.

Forums community will continue doing what they do best. Whine, complain, generally be a pain and accuse company of lying and not loving them anymore.

Kessexs hills is the source of toxic spores so another way of getting those would be needed. Lions arch will eventually be rebuilt. Personally not in a hurry.

Well we’ve been getting hints of the Mursaat and the White Mantle in LS2 a lot. It’s a safe bet they will be part of the story in the future.

well.. The mursaat are a lost race, kinda, I doubt we will see them in reality, I think more we’ll be collecting their knowledge as they knew how to deal with elder dragons.

as for the white mantle.. I recall someone mentioning them before but I dont think I actually saw anything about them ingame… didn’t they disband after the lich made his move? I thought they all died….

White mantle are all through human lost parents story.

why is it so wrong to make GW1 active again…….no really, are you so focused on GW2 that you don’t see what GW1 still has to offer.
they can add expansions, new chapters, update the graphics (and you don’t need a whole new engine for that).
heck, if they add more and more stuff for GW1 they can make it possible to add allot of stuff in both GW1 and GW2.
for instance, add the whole northern part of kryta/maguuma jungle as an expansion and within lore add this in GW2.
that way, GW1 becomes more active, they can add stuff for both games and even have a profit from both games.

most of the people that worked on gw1 have left anet , i also feel this new team does not care about gw1 players at all

Just because you keep saying something untrue does not magically make it true.

To point though commander is a military term, our team did not serve in the military with us so would be completely wrong.

Astral Projections.7320:

Boss is bad.

I prefer Your Royal Highness.

This is good but we are not all royalty so Your Highness suites.

Euryon.9248:

Completing Triple Trouble is not about being an elite player, it’s about following the commanders instructions and being on the same page with everyone else. A group of average-skilled players who are cooperating with the commanders is going to have a much better time with TT than a set of “elite” players who are acting on their own and not as a team. Being on voice-comm is almost essential, it may be possible to get the kill without it but that would have to be a large set of people who are skilled at map chat and all of whom know exactly what they’re doing at all times.

This, and there is a very very tiny chance that even with enough skilled people they will act as a team rather than solo artistes.
I do Wurm as often as I can, would probably have stopped long ago if I hadn’t found condi but that is just me, even if the rewards where much better, without the condi groups to break up the monotony of doing it multiple times I would have left.

Really like the confusion and mesmer changes.

Saves a lot of time, a lot of stress and a lot of in-game gold that you find them unattractive.
Congrats.
Use a skin you like.

Was not impressed with Priory, half the trash mobs would have been fine.
Liked the finale, not sure again which side Foalain was fighting on but since she is completely power driven will guess the dragons side.

4th time lucky at restarting game.

As the title, just sits in loading screen and does not load.
Restarted the game and the same thing happens

I don’t know, an incredible number of posts on forums that the person will hold their breath until they turn blue unless x is done. People are good at holding their breath on forums it seems.

Not provided in gem store, fan created and developed and released.

Fav, mesmer, ele and ranger, just find them very fun, staff ele not so much but it is still enjoyable
Least liked warrior, just don’t see the point.

Strategies like not looking for ez mode and go out and level.

Think you may need to learn different strategies.

Since it is not in game it is not a problem.
Just reading the over the top posts gives a very good clue that with it in game there will be lots more over the top crap to deal with.
Better off not in game.

Ardenwolfe.8590:

I see a lot of people in this thread are about to be disappointed . . . badly.

I told ANet already that I wont buy another gem before Ellen is off the Council.

So I reflect that disappointment right back at them.

Are we getting into “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” territory here?

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Well, that’s cool. Just passed L20 on a character. Must have gotten one….I guess.

Story

shouldn’t be rng, it is a separate reward not in a bag.

All the characters I have taken up to 20 got a cultural chest piece. I unlocked the non used armour weight on the different species.

Venomge.7142:

Let’s see what the season finale actually brings, we can judge it then.

Stop being reasonable, this is the forums after all.

Aeolus.3615:

@OP, roll against a static object, building, wall etc.

this is good.

Two things wrong with the above.
Oct 31 st is Halloween.
Oct 31st 2015 is on a Saturday.

The point isn’t that this is the exact date it’s that it’s the bloody 3rd quarter lol!

Sure, but if they play it like I believe there will be no drop date. Either way the only guarantee is the kitten storm on these forums.

Several of the crafter backpacks are pretty reasonable. Mainly the lower tier tailor and armorsmith ones also the simple chef’s backpack.

There is always the ‘hide back item’ option. Why must there be one?

reasonable in what sense? Because literally no one uses them. I’ve only ever seen one person use a crafting backpack, and that wasn’t a tailoring one (and there’s always a chance that they didnt know how to turn them off).

Why are people defending the notion of pouring art resources into a large number of items literally no one uses, instead of a handful of items people would be excited to use? I’m all for variety and pleasing different tastes, but if you look at the backpieces people actually use it’s pretty evident that there is a strong consensus on what people like and are willing to use.

Aww…I’ve just been ‘literally’ deemed no one. =(

Yes, me too. Amazing how many experts use “literally” to make a point though.

Palador.2170:

Yargesh.4965:

In two years I have never ever done this, could you clarify why you would want to do this?

Make a new character, and in the intro that’s really all you can do.

No utilities. No weapon skills 2-5. No profession skills, F1-F4 do nothing.

I guess you can heal, but apparently you can’t be killed in the intro.

Huge stretch but whatever makes people happy.

skullmount.1758:

Xillllix.3485:

Hopefully they have new skills planned for 2015. The game is just getting stale with everyone running the same builds.

What, you’re not enjoying running around on a new toon spamming #1 all the time? ;P

In two years I have never ever done this, could you clarify why you would want to do this?

Yes there is gem to gold and vice versa, but when you put a gem price on then the precursor price is fixed, never to change. That is not the point or they would have a NPC selling them long ago.

Yargesh.4965:

no

It’s already been done in essence.

But not in fact so no.

no

Galphar.3901:

My guess would be that we’ll find out what’s gonna happen w/ S2 and after on Jan 24 at Pax South.

this

Exxcalibur.6203:

S2 has been a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE disappointment.

Who cares what happens at this point??

me?

Erukk.1408:

A fearful Wynne seems to be clutching onto Caithe too. Most likely explaining the secret she was keeping, and I hope giving Caithe a “You’re girlfriend’s insane” talk.

Would be nice if someone did.

RoRo.8270:

exp.3178:

it’s their game, so they are they are entitled to it.

This has got to be the worst logic ever. We are paying customers so we are entitled to leaving criticism and feedback.

Celestina.2894:

Their game yes, but they have no game without players either. End of the day, the player base has just as much claim.

Who exactly is the “we” that the two of you are talking about because I can’t find a thread where there is even a trace of consensus about anything.

“…we’re setting up a new framework for how an MMO can grow its universe.”

ArenaNet: perpetually planning to prepare to iterate big things that may or may not make it into the game.

This, two plus years of this, is anyone really surprised that so many people are jaded, apathetic or flat out cynical? I wish I could attend Pax just to see how this will all go down.

They will livestream it. Or is your physical presence required?

Astral Projections.7320:

I predict the announcement that Mike O’Brien is stepping down and that his replacement will be Traehearn.

Traeherne’s first words at the convention will be, “a moment please, Commanders”

Then stand around for 10 min, last words spoke before exit stage left are “this won’t end well”

Played since start with just over 4k hours and I still log in most days. I do different things, have made one legendary to see what it was like and because I liked the skin, was and still am not anxious to repeat it, but will if I get the precursor for the legendary skin I want.
Mostly wander here and there, find out if I am willing to get an item for collections (ridiculous prices on many so not something I will chase).
Have made 2 ascended weapons and will make one more soon. Have made six of the ascended back pieces.
Mostly I know enough to log out when I am feeling meh about the game rather than force myself and feel even more meh.

Different perspectives.
For me the only thing on your list is sort of traits acquisition and that can be tweaked to be an issue only for people who enjoy creating issues for themselves (which is a high percent of the more vocal forum posters granted).
For me guilds where done strangely and again not wrong in a sense but not what I think is the best way.
Reality hits every game with content release. When that magical day comes where one person just needs to type in a precise of what the game should be like and a programme takes care of the rest in a few minutes then maybe, possibly the consumers will be satisfied but I doubt it even then.

Kraitkin and bolt. Made Kraitkin and will wait until I get zap, not really in a rush though.

Never ask a lady her age.
