Rox’s quiver has to return, at the very least, since it’s the only quiver available to us
There are ascended quivers.
They are making the game more alt-friendly with the new features coming this year. They are going to blend PvE and PvP. Everything you have in your PvP locker will be available to be used in PvE and vice versa.
This is probably one of the best updates coming. Housing will most likely come this year as well, if it’s housing or guild halls i’m not sure, maybe it makes more sense for guild halls to release first.
Sylvari Warrior, 80
Asura Ranger, 80
Sylvari Elementalist, 80
Charr Guardian, 62
Norn Necromancer, 57
Human Thief, 32
Human Guardian, 29
Human Engineer, 28
Asura Guardian, 26
Norn Mesmer, 21
Too many guardians.
I’ve always wanted customization in an mmorpg that let you customize how old you are/look. In nearly every mmorpg you look like you are 30-50 y old. Some races look younger and some maybe older. Overall there’s is a fixed age range for each race. Please remove this from every new game releasing in the future.
I want to look like an old sage. A long beard, mustasche, a white long cape, a staff and a pet companion, looking for ancient and hidden places in the world.
Or
I want to be a young strong boy, a warrior, trained by my passed father who died in battle, wielding my two-handed sword killing my enemies ahead to my future.
In every single game you can never customize your character to look like this or feel like this. It’s always a fixed age. Mostly 30-50. It’s getting really tiring.

I hope they fix it. This RNG is bad.
top tier lel
Fat Armour. Run 50% slower but gain 100% more armor than Heavy Armour.
OnT: On a more serious note i would like to see more naked armour, like the armour in GW1 where you only saw tattoos and stuff. I really dislike that you can’t “hide” the chest piece. No point in playing Norn, Sylvari and Charr if you can’t show your chest.
Yes please. This is needed.
No. If they delete vigor and everything that refills dodge i will stop playing every squishy class there is. No more Thief, no more Elementalist, no more Ranger.
Stupid thread.
This and sleight of hand + mug are the best combo for a teef.
Yeah mug is really good.
the caltrops and ds are only in there for center point contest. D/D is for roaming (not very often) CnD+BS chain. Thieves guild is a good skill for 1v1 but I do not believe it is as effective as DS for a team fight on center point – as is why caltrops is in there. I agree that
BV would be a better choice is there was a coordinated spike.
If you want AoE damage that isn’t condition damage i would rather get more intiative regen or gain and spam Dancing Dagger. D/D 4th skill.
I want either a Martial Arts book or a Yoga book.
Well, you skipped it. Don’t skip it the next time.
I’d use Dagger/Pistol for Shadow Shot rather than Death Blossom and also remove Caltrops for something else more effective like Roll for Intiative or a signet, as your build is not for condition damage. The elite skill shoudl be changed as well, to either Thieves Guild or Basilisk Venom. Thieves Guild will confuse your enemy a bit and they will also do damage, it does have a high cd though. Basilisk Venom will stun and has a low cd, which is good.
Would only take Caltrops and Dagger Storm if you were a condition build.
Yes i’ve been proposing this idea before, a few months ago. Resets your story, race and gender.
Watch less anime.
Never in my entire existence.
I have the G600 i think and it’s good.
Oi, cute! or the ball from Spirit Watch SPvP map and you have to hand it to a baby quaggan at the goal.
This sounds good.
with ranking range i mean leaderboard (cause MMR we cant see)
I have no idea. W/L doesn’t mean a lot though. Other stuff you do in matches does. I want to see MMR.
what region you play? NA or EU? what ranking range?
cause i dont see any from this ominous 4v5 matches ppl talk bout here in forum and i played since last patch 6+ hours every day in EU and i join always solo
EU. I’m rank 22.
When is this going to end? there are people leaving in almost every match. Usually 4vs5 and sometimes even 3vs5. When will this stop? there are multiplie problems that cause this.
1. You can’t cancel your Queue into Arena
2. People troll.
3. Bad internet connection.
4. People under rank 15.
5. Ragequit.
Fixes.
1.Raise the minimum rank need to queue for Solo Arena.
2.Better system for finding people with the same skill as you.
3.Promotion system. Vote for each player what they did good, after the match. Good teamwork, Friendly, Skillfull etc. Gain more rank points if you get upvoted.
4.?
5. ?
Please. I’ve lost too many matches in a row now. Mostly because we are 4 or people are to inexperienced not knowing what to do.
I ran venomshare in pve for a bit and found it works something like this.
The worst your party is, the better the spec is and vice versa.
Its amazing sustain and adds a good amount of party heals but the dmg is meh at best. If the party is doing fine then really its just a loss in DPS.You can lay down smoke screens and such. Depends on what weapons and combinations you use.
You can just as easily use them in a DPS build. You actually have more free slots for utilities although you probably wouldnt mind wasting the initiative as much if you were aiming for DPS.
If you want dps you don’t go with shareable venoms and healing. I have a good venom dps build, i use it for PvP* though. If you want venoms with heal and share them with your party, then it would be best to go a tankish/supportish build and not aim for dps.
I’d recommend 0/0/30/10/30 for a tank/support build. Dagger/Pistol and Either Sword/Dagger or Shortbow. This would be a Venom/Steal build.

Yes i agree. This applies to all the races minor races though.
All skritt and quaggan pretty much looks the same, Kodan, same same etc.
The races we can play are the races with most customization.

Yeah i would use it in Dungeons/Fractals/WvWvW. Maybe Team Arena.
It seems tanky and supportish.
Skill 3 is weak. The evade is 1/4 and the damage of it is AoE but too weak.
Either they make the evade 1 second or increase the damage.
Thief is good in PvP. Both SPvP and WvWvW. There are multiplie builds that are good. Try one of them.
Why not reduced cooldowns on venoms instead of Improvisation? You only have venoms, so Improv will be wasted 80% of the time you use steal.
Oh sorry. I chosed the wrong trait, it should have been reduced cd on venoms and not the immobilize. Thank you.
Updated the link.
Edit: While looking at the rune i have. Rune of Divinity. That one should be changed to something with either power, condition damage or toughness perhaps.
Superior Rune of Hoelbrak looks like it will be good for this build.

Does anyone even watch the e-sport tournaments?
No, EU and US does not compete. It is still a problem though, seeing as not all non-european people play on NA servers, and the NA servers have people in more or less every single timezone in the world, which mean that there will ALWAYS be night for some part of the playerbase.
Yes, they can still take stuff, but for some reason you think they should be punished and less valuable simply because they don’t play at the same time as you do. Which is quite silly.
Playing on EU when you’re from NA or Asia or the reversed is not optimal. You do it on your own risk.
They are not punished. Either you whine “I quit WvWvW because people play at night and gain a huge advantage through the entire month” that is true. Or you actually fix the problem by reducing the progress and points at night. There are more players suffering from this current problem than there are players suffering from playing at night if this fix would go through . You have to prioritize.
I rather fix WvWvW and make it more fair and balanced.
It has a 20% chance to reset a certain set of skills (venoms, signets, blabla).
It should say so in the description then. It clearly says it resets all the skills of one type. Not mentioning 20% at all.
yes all skill of one types
there are 5 types
that’s why 20% for each type
but not only the types you equippedyou really understand English? need translate?
It does not say it resets one type of skills that you do not have equipped. So no, i don’t need translation. ArenaNet should make the description more clear.
In 1vs1 fights, i activate poisons first, Shadow Shot in, Autoattack 3x, Shadow Shot, Steal, if Venoms reset activate them again, Shadow Shot, Autoattack 3×. When the enemy is at low health use Heartseeker. Downed. Then you stomp the enemy. (use stealth, swap to Sword/Dagger and use Cloak) Dead.
I don’t usually swap to Sword/Dagger. Mostly i use Dagger/Pistol. Sometimes the Teleport(skill 2), Evade (skill 3) and Stealth (skill 5 can be useable).

So people from the US or [insert country not in Europe] should be punished for their friends on the EU servers?
What about people that work during the days and can only play at the EU nighttime? Should they not be allowed to play the game the same way as everyone else?
WvW is a 24/7 battlefield, simple as that.
Does EU and US servers compete? then that wouldn’t be a problem if they didn’t.
If they still can take camps and castles and such they can do it the same way. They won’t earn as much points and progress though.
Thief is op as they are. I can build an ok survability build while doing hard damage.

Does the trait Improvisation have a cd? it does not say so on the description and when i’ve used the Steal abillity it does not always reset my Venoms.
If you want survival and support you spec into Shadow Arts and Trickery.
Define night.
For other players it might be afternoon when you are sleeping.
Europe is wide i know. The time difference in europe isn’t that huge though. About 5 hours as most?
There is a problem with WvWvW and people playing at night. They will pretty much gain a lot of progression and points while the other servers sleep. How to fix this? give servers less progression at night and give them less point. This won’t make the gap as wide and the servers staying awake at night won’t get a huge advantage. They will still be able to take keeps and such, but there should be a system in place for that as well. I’m not sure what, but at least they should gain less progression and points.
I’ve made a build for SPvP. It’s pretty easy, not hard to use and you can kill anyone 1vs1 pretty much. If you’re up against a good Mesmer though, then you’re screwed, (unless it’s a bad Mesemer) but as Mesmers are duelist gods it’s not a surprise. You can kill 1vs2, if you use the blinding powder correctly and your stealth. I hope you like it.
A reminder: I do not use the Skelk Venom healing skill right now as i don’t have it unlocked. Right now i’m using Withdraw, which has a 15 cd, Skelk Venom has 36 sec cd traited. If you don’t like Skelk Venom you can use Withdraw for the low cd.
Edit: The build is improved with the rune Superior Rune of Hoelbrak.

Because Spiritwatch is a stupid map that’s completely broken mechanic wise.
Necro/thief Run signets. raise speed to normal runspeed.
Ranger/Warrior can Run the orb way too efficiently.
Guardian can sanctuary/block pickup the orb 99% of the time.Spirit watch is literally worse then skyhammer in my eyes..
It’s about having control. You don’t like when maps are complicated? it’s these maps like spirit watch and skyhammer which makes the SPvP fun. At least for Arena and more experienced players that know what they are doing.
I think the commentator tools on tournaments are really bad. Mostly the commentators don’t mention everyones build, they usually look at gear and at traits etc. Would be better if you had a window for every character and short information of what kind of build they use, short display of their traits, runes and sigils and skills.
Mostly when i look at tournaments i get easily bored, it’s like they don’t know what they are talking about or they simply don’t have anything important to say about what is happening.
I’m doing Solo Arena, been doing it for a while, but still. Arena need something more, something hotjoin doesn’t have, something that makes the matches explode and increase the intensity. I don’t really get excited watching tournaments. Not e-sport material.
In games like Dota, LoL, HoN etc there’s a lot of things you can look at, what items are they buying, how will they farm, will they tri-lane, how will they build their hero, what will happen next, will they kill roshan? everything is situational.
In GW2 SPvP it’s about not dying and capture points and depending on which map, you have treb, animals etc.
It’s not enough to keep it interesting. Make it more like a Moba already.
I think we need more overpowered builds in SPvP for the different classes. Like Elementalist and Ranger don’t have OP builds. They need it. Mesmer, Engineer, Warrior, Guardian, Necromancer and Thief all got OP builds. Ele and Ranger don’t.
I’m calling it now, legendary armor will have the stat changing functionality and ascended armor is the precursor to legendary armor

Correct me if I’m wrong but online purchases aren’t taxed depending on where you live in the US
If you live in the US you pay in us dollar. If you live within EU you pay in euro. Depending on your currency, what country you live in, the exchange from your currency to the other, in this case euro will be different depending on where you live and what currency you use. In US you only use one currency, i believe? so you have it all good. Though you suffer from not having free health care etc.
OnT: I think US has their own taxes and EU has our own taxes. I doubt a specific country’s taxes applies. In Sweden we have 25% on wares. EU has one of their own i guess, that applies to all countries within EU. Same with US. When it’s a global purchase.
Think you missed my point totally here. In some states of the United States of America you do not have to pay a tax on internet purchases be it from amazon or in a game. Also your healthcare isn’t free you pay for it with your taxes which is why they’re kittening sky high compared to Americas.
In Florida I do not have to pay a sales tax on an internet purchase to a company that has no physical representation in the state (which I believe is the case for ANet as their HQ is in Seattle or something). I’m not 100% sure if Washington also allows them to do this.
Then again I’ve also never purchased gems other than a gem card which I didn’t have to pay a sales tax on.
Well that is known. Some states in the US don’t have taxes at all, so of course they don’t apply.
Yes we pay taxes. In Sweden the taxes are 30%. Everyone get free school, free healthcare, free dentist till 20 y old and more. EVERYONE. Not only rich people or families that work themselves to death. Your system doesn’t really support the ideology of a democracy.

Guild Wars 2 need new technology. We need to be inside the game. Have you seen anime like .hack, hack//sign, Log Horizon and Sword Art Online? that’s the future for online gaming. Though there will probably be another 30 years or so until we get close to that.
OnT: ArenaNet have spoken of some good features and updates coming 2014. I’m looking forward to those. Other than that i wish they put in more content into all the zones. New event chains, new hearts and changed landscapes. I know they did this with the living story until kessex hills.
