You really don’t notice much of a difference until at least 110%. I am at 123% for my account and I use the birthday boosters and ascended gear for an easy 223%. You really start to see a real difference then.
I have played other MMOs where everything is a giant map. Not fun waiting for every little thing to load. Plus, they would have to rework practically everything in the existing maps and somehow make the challenge equal to gliders and vanilla players alike.
From what I heard, Arenanet and GW1 were made by people who initially worked for Blizzard but were let go. After GW1 grew in popularity, all but 2 went crawling back to Blizzard…. So….
Arenanet is not Blizzard who is the only company that has the resources to add a new class and a new race and a new area for it and new skills and new stories and another area besides that in one expansion. It sucks but when you are small you do small things.
As a matter of fact ANet was not only capable of adding new zones to the game but it used to be able to add whole new continents with every GW1 expansion. Elona and Cantha were huge while still providing access to a bunch of new skills, two new professions for every campaign (four in total), vast number of new PvP modes (Fort Aspenwood) and elite dungeons etc. etc.
So you see ANet used to be way above everything Blizzard ever did. What happened, well… I don’t think that’s something we will ever find out.
Tengu was a race that they wanted to add, but they had time constraints. There is a lot of work to do with each race. You have to build a world and a cultural identity. What do these birds stand for? What do they hold dear? What is taboo? What is sacred? What do they worship? How do you represent and express it in this world?
I have 11 lv80 toons. I have 3 Slyvari, 3 humans, 2 charr, 2 Norn, and 2 asura. I may recreate an old toon from my gw1 account, should the story correlate enough.
It is interesting. I always suspected additional pale trees. The one we know can’t be the only one. The fact they are minions proves it. This pale tree may be the only good one.
The nightmare court itself may be the only Silvari from the pale tree we know who are aware of their true purpose as well. As of right now, I find no proof of that other then the nightmare being found in the dream, and the name nighmare court.
One of the player stories proves there is more than one tree, but the Dream is exclusive to the Pale Tree. The Nightmare Court seeds chaos and dismay where ever they go for the fun of it. If you played the recent LS, there is no way that they know they were meant to serve the dragons. Only Caithe, The Pale Tree and Wynne know/knew
I received the same error for a few days now. It doesn’t appear to be a problem on my end, given the system diagnostic’s results. It’s traceroute all points to a German server. I figure the server is owned directly by NCsoft and not Arenanet, considering a couple of Wildstar players are complaining about the same exact server in their traceroutes.
I googled the Frankfurt information listed. Looks like I am not the only one having issues with this particular connection. Looks like it is an issue with NCsoft’s in general though, as people in Wildstar are complaining about the exact same thing. I am logging in from the US on Tarnished Coast. Is there anything I can do on this end?
Still sounds like a waste of time for Arenanet with little benefit to get directly involved. The idiots who invest in it can trade it for real currency and then buy it like everyone else.
There is no way to back the value of bitcoins. Only a complete kitten would accept them for anything.
I believe, as other bitcoin threads have pointed out, there are services that will take bitcoins and convert it to whatever currency the company wants. ANet or NCSOFT don’t need to get into the bitcoin business, just sign up with one of these bit coin intermediaries who well take the price, say $10 for 800 gmes, and charge the buyer the correct amount in bit coins and turn around and pay ANet $10 minus transaction fees.
This puts the risk on the bitcoin processor and not ANet.
It’s a relatively new item. Throwing it in a place that everyone can get right now won’t motivate the players next year. Three candy corn cobs was rather easy to obtain given how much was vomited out at the players. Put your big boy pants on and stop whining. You had plenty of time.
I just sell the raw ingredients for bank. Eventually, it will get to the point where the mats will saturate the market and the prices will go down. How long it takes though is solely dependent on the userbase’s desire for them. I am content using exotics on 12 toons until then.
Not sure. But if it really is a problem, you can gift your friend the gold so they can get the gems required and obtain them that way. The conversion took me a little over 3g
There will be no new classes, why do you guys keep asking for that?
Meaningful content isn’t worth their time as long as people still waste money on gems to buy the kitten stuff they put out.
They have stated that while no new classes or races are currently in the works, there is nothing to say others won’t be added at a later date. I won’t expect such occurrences to happen for at least another year.
There is no point in bringing scythes back into the game as their own weapon class. The way melee works, makes it redundant other than to have special skins.
As for the Dervish lore, they are based around the human’s gods, so to make any class other than them makes little sense. But then again, aren’t a couple other classes based on human gods as well? Why are charr able to raise dead and create clones? Are those not based on human gods? Or are our gods a farce parading with powers that are not theirs?
I’ve been blocking gold sellers since beta. It looks like their data drops off after about a month or so of inactivity. Not sure where that data goes, however.
I have a solution! Include google translate into map chat! This way everyone can be confused
That reminds me of the original PSO Episode 1+2 for DC, PS, PC, Xbox, and Gamecube. There was an option that had preselected phrases that were translated into the native tongues that the user selected in their options to all users who saw it. Too bad, translation was never Sega’s strong suit.
If you want an unbreakable, permanent tool, you have to buy one from the Gem Store. You can only have it on one toon at a time.
These tools are account-bound, though, so you can swap them between your characters using the bank. Not exactly the best solution, but better than nothing.
And this in itself was a relatively recent change and a very generous one on Arenanet’s part, considering they negate this gold sink. Previously, if you used a permanent tool, it was soul-bound to that toon.
Not a glitch. Standard gathering tools have health. This is intended as a gold sink. If you want an unbreakable, permanent tool, you have to buy one from the Gem Store. You can only have it on one toon at a time.
Definetly nope. This is a game rated 12+. And also China and other countries got a huge problem with same sex marriages and romances. So this would inevitably lead to conflicts within these countries, especially on the asian market. And if Anet implements this without gay or bi marriages and romances it would kitten off a large group of the more liberal playerbase.
The Chinese and American game clients have their own separate servers and content. Have you seen their gem store? It’s a different ballpark there. There is nothing stopping the content from being added to the other versions of the game and ignoring the Chinese version until they figure it out. Arenanet has taken a liberal stance on homosexuality, if you haven’t noticed with Caithe+Faolain, the gay sylvari in Green Knight personal story and again with Kaz+Maj. As long as they don’t get into the sexual details, I really don’t care about a useless marriage status.
The link the OP posted is useless. I need to know more information on the subject. What will set it different from dungeons? What will warrant it’s existence?
The only benefit to stealth is to hide in the open and cannot be directly targeted through the interface. If a user or NPC can predict your movements and manage to hit you despite this, you have bigger problems. The revealed aspect is to prevent excessive abuse.
We know that there is a connection with sylvari and the Mordremoth, but as far as I know, the Nightmare Court is only interested in causing misery, strife and conversions of their siblings. They might not have any solid dedication to this dragon. They cannot convert more followers if they are dead.
Yes to wallet items please. Only reason not to would be to have it that way would be if they planned Mystic Forge usage.
Either that, or they don’t plan to use them after all this. The fortune scraps went the same way. Now that the Zephyrites’ ship has come crashing down, will there even be another event for them?
Supposedly the chain was going to be nerfed when the Feature Pack went live, but for whatever reason, it wasn’t. I am pretty sure that the devs don’t want users to exploit and undermine their work. Programmer’s prerogative.
@ fellyn….They stated such when there was a HUGE discussion on the Blix farm. Sorry, not sure where the thread is in here, but I’m sure you can find it.
Also, Blix was not nerfed, nor was Coil. Both had the event timers adjusted, that is all.
Just because you think it’s a nono does not mean ANet agrees with you.
If newbies are confused by a cooking recipe, I think they have bigger issues to tackle, IMO. But Eda’s pie isn’t the only item(s) to be removed from starter areas.
I personally use Windows 8.1 laptop to play GW2 and I don’t have any problems. It might be something related to the settings and layout you currently have.
I know Champs have a lot more armor and health than normal enemies and their stats can scale with the human players, making it look like you did nothing at all. Are you sure it is doing nothing at all?
Not all things are reflected and absorbed by the Pale Tree and Dream though. We don’t know the full extent of her knowledge and the meta of the Dream and the Eternal Alchemy. There may be more secrets headed our way.
The Pale Tree is not a violent entity. She needs to be guarded physically. “If our deeds are reflected in the Dream”, and the Sylvari are minions Shielded of Mordy’s corruptions, could it be possible Mordy can tap into the Dream as well? Thus, know of our powers, drive and existence? If Mordy takes us and the world leaders out in one swoop, who is left to protect the tree?
And that’s why I cannot get with the idea that this attack was planned. It’s a kittening ED and he can’t even kill a dozen of people with a surprise attack ?
On the other side of Tyria he sends hundreds of vines, kills dozens of people, but to attack a summit he only sends 8 mordrem and a champion ?
I can get behind us surviving the attack because it wasn’t really planned. The champion came because it was a highly magical place and left because we really put up a fight. But surviving because the ED is too dumb to take us seriously ?
If he is that intelligent and cunning and actually gives a kitten about us, he should know better.
Let’s put it this way to sorta kill the idea of the Pale Tree being Mordy’s champion. If she really was Mordy’s champion and betrayed him, I believe Mordy would go after her himself like Kralkatorric did with Glint, and not send one of his Lieutenants to do the job.
And an awfully bad job at it. If you want to take out the Pale Tree, you don’t focus your attack on the one room where everyone is. You keep focusing on the roots which must be incredibly hard to miss considering how enormous the Pale Tree is.

With the help of my fellow players and LONG wait, we managed to get into the Steam Ogre’s area. However, the area did not recognize that I had the chaos orb in my toon’s inventory and therefore didn’t charge when I interacted with the special glowing orb on the platform. I did however just receive the clean up achievement just now. Come on! And this is the first attempt on the same toon I received it on…. Raugh!
I have not met a user who genuinely wants a DPS race on all major enemies where there is a timer involved, but I also know a lot of users who just want to spam 1 and maybe 2 through out the fight. I don’t see an easy solution where “Eff u, I do wat I wan” mentality exists in our culture and our community.
1. Did he have any special characters in his name? “Öwl”, for example, is different from “Owl”. Users can use special characters to get names that they want if the regular spelling is taken. Though, this can cause problems as not every user has a complete list of alt commands on hand and must wait for the other user to contact them to get the name verbatim.
2. Are you sure this ‘friend’ of yours isn’t BSing? I’ve have heard many cases on other pixel games/sites where they have lied in attempt for a user to send more.
