I wouldn’t say remove it, since as people have said, it prevents stunlocking. However, it could be changed:
- Make it a timer as opposed to stacks.
- Defiant doesn’t trigger if you interrupt an attack.
That sounds great. Atleast let us interupt attacks.
Well, all players in a party doesn’t use CC abillities that often and if i am a hammer Mace/Mace warrior and my every 5th CC is effective that’s kitten, pure crap. As it is now, the only way you can play is doing dps and support your team with heals.
Please remove Defiant from bosses, i can’t use CC builds, especially hammer mace/mace warrior. It’s pretty much useless.
I agree, apply the bleeds instantly and let the immobilize go on like normal. It’s a very good skill and can be used with Guardians greatsword skill to drag all enemies in and then BAM flurry. But yeah i think flurry has pretty weak damage.
I made a build for PvE, it focuses on stuns and knockdown pretty much and be able to stay alive for a long time. Interrupting enemies will apply 4 stacks of confusion which is one of the better traits if you want good damage as a “tank”. I wish hammer and Mace/Mace had more of confusion and torment but we don’t. Only off-hand sword has torment.
Maguuma Wastes.
Same to me happened about 1 hour ago. Money have been drawn from my bank account though. No gems, no mail.
I think they look really good.
Contact customer service?
Yeah i just sent a service mail, i hope they can fix it.
Check that your mail isn’t full. Usually gem store purchases come trough the mail, but if your mailbox says “10/10” you won’t receive it. Deleting some messages (anything with an envelope icon, the heart ones don’t count) should make it so you start receiving the missing mail, the gems might be there.
I didn’t mean the ingame mail, i meant the mail i registered my account with. You always get a mail like that, with order number and stuff.
I bought gems like 30 minutes ago but i haven’t got my 2800 gems yet or a mail that said thanks for your purchase etc. I see they have taken money from my bank account but no gems or no mail.
What do i do? this have never happened me before.
We will see Mursaat from GW1. I wonder how they look now after 250 years. They live on the Isle of Janthir by the way, above Rata Sum.
I am totally down for raid style/difficulty encounters AS LONG AS they still only require five players. Trying to get a group bigger than that to do anything coordinated sucks.
It kinds of ruins the feeling of a large scale battle if there’s only 5 people.
I hope so. I really want those weapon if i’m going to buy the whole armour set.
I can’t enter the blog, seems down to me.
Delete MF stats from gear. Use food and account magic find only.
I think both MF and Experience should be an “extra” bonus in Food.
Which means Food should give 2 combat stats + xp + mf.If player A is using food that gives 2 combat stats, and player B uses food that gives 1 combat stat + MF, it’s just the same as having MF replacing 1 stat in gear.
There should be absolutely nothing in the game where you are able to choose MF over combat stats.
Food is optional, armour isn’t. Runes on your gear can be a key to your unique build, while food isn’t big of a deal. I rather see a support guardian or elementalist with a full healing rune to give the party extra heal than MF. Food can’t do that much difference and it’s optional.
Look at this: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Superior_Rune_of_the_Flock
165 extra healing power, 10% chance when attacked to summon a bird that cause blindness, when using a healing skill nearby allies are healed for a small amount (10 sec cd).
Anyone think this would work?
Some of the legendaries are really cool but as it is now i don’t really go “yeeeah i’m gonna get that too!!”. If the legendaries had lore and a better system on how to get them, not necessarily a guide, that would interest me to get one NOW.
A fractal for each legendary would be great, filled with lore.
ArenaNet have already said legendaries will become account bound.
I’d rather see proffesion specific movement effects or what you should call them.
- When you get a movement buff on yourself your character will activate an effect.
- These effects are different for each proffesion.
- Elementalist will ride a lightning cloud when in lightning attunement, lavaboard in fire etc.
- The effects will not be huge, just some small unique style to each proffesion.
- These special effects can be bought in the gemstore.
These aren’t mounts but it’s an idea that would fit GW2s style better.

2 gold..what? it’s like a few silvers
No, you don’t have to buy any of the manuals to retrait. You talk to your proffesion trainer and you can chose to retrain.
You guys are lame. I want dual wield focus :v
Holy kitten, that would lead elementalist to be the best tank/support. Guardian would be nothing.
They’re adding better loot to Champions. I’d say that raiding will be more ‘open world’, gather a force and take down a Champion for a chance at some decent loot. 8 man instances is what a lot of people want though.
Open world champions are very small bosses. The shatterer etc are not very big either, so those make good meta events. Elder Dragons though and gods have to be instanced, but the current fight with Zhaitan was too god kitten bad and not interesting or fun at all. Large scale raiding with many objectives can fix that.
I agree, i think everyone agrees. The question is if ArenaNet and NcSoft agrees and they probably don’t because they sell dyes in the gemstore and that is a cashprofit for both ArenaNet and NcSoft.
I think you can forget account wide dyes.
I hope elementalist get a new weapon underwater. The current one is very weak.
On land weapon, i could see elementalist get a greatsword or hammer or dual wielding swords.
ArenaNet have said in an interview not long ago that they will do something similar to raiding. We don’t really know what it will be, but i can assume how it will look.
They will probably revamp/continue the Zhaitan fight to a raid instance and SPOILER Zhaitan didn’t really die at the end of the personal story. SPOILER
The new raid could first start at ground, Zhaitan flying above and undead swarming the battlefield. There’s cannons, ballistas, golems etc that you can use and different objectives to complete. For example protect the supplies to build ballistas and other weapons to take down Zhaitan, stop the undead armies of zhaitan to reach point A, collect B and load the asura beam gun with B to cause Zhaitan to land on the ground and be weakened for XX seconds and stuff like that.
There could also be ships above you can go to and shoot him from above, fight his smaller dragon minions etc, like how you could in the story and more.
With culling fixed in WvW and soon in PvE i think they can do something like this. Especially if they do a lot of different objectives, make it more intense and huge.
Hopefully they will do this raiding thing with all dragons and bigger bosses in the future.
Edit: They could even turn an entire zone into a raiding boss encounter. That would be really cool.

The queensdale champs are super fast and easy.
Only the wasp is a slower fight due to it’s periodic hiding phases.
And? they will make champions harder to fight in the same update they are adding these rewards. You can kill wurm in 1 second, the shatterer in 3 minutes etc. It’s not even fun.
…they had an excellent hype campaign
GW2 lived up to my expectations and even beyond. You could interpret the manifesto video how you want, some overreact, some doesn’t believe it at all and some “yeah this will be good”.
Who said we would follow the gods? that’s how guild wars start the story, now who we follow.
Guild Wars starts the story in presearing Ascalon. The gods aren’t even mentioned, and you have to read the manuscripts to learn about them. I think if you want to tell the story of prophecies, you should probably leave out any of the redundant background lore, and focus on the story and characters. Starting in presearing is not a bad start for a GW movie. But you’d probably want to stay clear from a long opening title crawl, like with the Dungeons and Dragons movie. Lore about the gods could be merely mentioned by characters, but in the grand scheme of things, its not that important to the events of Prophecies.
BTW, if the World of Warcraft movie starts with an opening title crawl, to explain some of the lore, I’ll have a big laugh in the theaters.
And still you go on about the main lore in GW1. If you read about GW and the lore it starts with orr and the gods leaving the humans behind, then the guild wars starts and after that pre searing. Just because it wasn’t that clear in the game, it’s a huge part of the main story.
Why the searing first? the gods leaving orr and the guild wars is before the searing.
I can’t exactly imagine a Guild Wars movie where we follow the adventures of the gods. Such matters are best left in a prologue.

I picked that as the start point because I’d want to see the opening of the TV series reflect the opening of GW. Your very first moments in Acalon pre-searing as a budding new adventurer, meeting little Gwen and casually finding her flute in the mud of a nearby creekbed.
That’s the game, not the movie or television series. Starting with pre searing is not right to the story.

It’s not grindy unless you grind. They give you options to do pretty much anything in the game and reward you for it.
It depends on your playstyle. If you’re not willing to experiment and try new crazy stuff you’re going to have the same shallow boring combat that you had in older mmorpgs. I agree that GW2 need more skills, especially elite skills for more combinations and builds, and new weapons for classes. Elementalist underwater is so weak i cry everytiem.
Decreasing hp and increasing damage or the reversed is not a good thing. BUT. Adding more mechanics to the fight and let your party figure out how and when to avoid or take advantage of the mechanic is great, some mechanics should be random as well, but not too many. We already have RNG with gemstore.
I think for such a thing to work in the context of a movie, it would have to be a much more condensed story. One movie simply can’t cover that much time, and that many continents and events, unless you are making the next LOTR or Harry Potter.
The best thing you could expect, if at all, is one movie. And it would have to be much smaller in scale. All the lore that GW has to offer is not something you can fit into a movie. You’d have to find a way to get the audience invested without dropping a ton of exposition.
There’s only one continent. Tyria
They don’t really have to include cantha or elona at all.
They’re not supposed to fit in all the lore, they are supposed to take the main lore, the big events. Which is, the human gods leaving orr, the guild wars,the searing, glint and the mursaat and eventually up to the rise of the elder dragons.
The movie based on the lore from GW1 could be like a prelude to GW2.
Without the lore from GW1 and Tyria, a lot of the lore in GW2 doesn’t make any sense.
Edit: Eye of the north, with the dwarves dead and Primordus started to wake up and the introduction of Norn and Asura is pretty important lore. It’s also on the continent of Tyria.
(edited by Zoid.2568)
To start with the human gods(who left Tyria), Orr and the guild wars and the searing of ascalon and then go on with Glint and mursaat i think would be a good start for a first movie. Very interesting lore and it has very deep connection to the lore in GW2. Faction and Nightfall, Cantha and Elona doesn’t really have anything connected to the “main” lore except that kormir and Abaddon were gods.
That may work in a game, but not in a movie. You’d end up with a ton of exposition. A movie needs a beginning, a middle and an end. And it needs main characters that can keep the audience interested from start to finish.
It really depends on who writes and directs the movie. You also need to read between the lines. What i just wrote could be interpreted in many ways, for some it could make out a great story and for some (like you) it could seem to be very confusing and a story that doesn’t fit together.
Eventually it will lead up to the GW2 lore, maybe in a second movie or a third, when the dragons awake from their slumber.The human gods, Glint and the Mursaat are all related to the elder dragons somehow.
I agree. It was the best feature in GW1 and thought it would be in beta or on launch but nope.
With the new update coming and all bosses getting a daily chest, low level zones will get more attention. No one doesn’t really want to farm low level zones when they could farm high level zones and get better farm, yeah GW2 is mostly about farming gold. So daily chests for all bosses will increase the numbers of players you see in low level zones. Anet probably have more stuff coming to the game which will give all zones more attention and not only high level zones and dungeons.
Umm I doubt very much that Peter Jackson would ever consider such a thing……
I am from NZ also and have seen some of his very early movies which were so low budget that you would think “why would you say that?” They were good movies but in all honestly he has moved on from those kinds of movies (low grade/budget) and let’s be honest GW hardly has the kind of following that LOTR ever had.
Lastly GW never really had a good story as in storyline wise. Mind you I haven’t really read any of the books but still…..lol
Guild Wars has very deep lore, especially in GW1 and in GW2 there’s a lot of lore as well. The books are good, i haven’t read Sea of Sorrows yet though. It really depends on where in the story they want to base the movie off, or if they are going to make it seperate from the “main” story and do something else.

The “titles” you get when you join one of the three orders you don’t actually get to use them. Would be nice if you could.
SPOILER POSSIBLE
When you join Durmand Priory you become a Magister, but you don’t get the title so you can’t actually use it.
It took a while for me to adapt to Guild Wars 2. I have more fun now than i had at release and that is how it’s supposed to be. With other mmorpgs i have always had a blast at start and the further i got into the game it became less fun or boring.
If Hollywood ever want to produce a Guild Wars movie. Please be careful..they have ruined so many movies based on great animes and books. Let someone great direct it, like Peter Jackson.
TGSlasher: I see. Well that is an exploit, so doesn’t really change anything else than fixing the issues the skill has.
Dragon’s Tooth is only effective in PvE, in some scenarios where you either kite your enemy into it or mobs are standing still.
With ground targeting you could put it where they are running next.
Now you can buy and read books on your Android from the Google Store. Will you release all the novels on there, i already have the two first novels Ghosts of Ascalon and Edge of Destiny but i really want to read the new book Sea of Sorrows. Though i’d like to buy it on the phone and just read it like that. Doing the same with manga.
Anyone else interested?
The most staff eles i see in SPvP are really bad.
Thank you guys for the advise, will change that sigil. The thing with this build, it’s pretty hybrid.
OMFG those looks awesome! i want :$
