Guild Wars 2

I agree with the second post. They should have added the fight against Zhaitan in a permanent living world event. They could have made so so much better.

Gandarel.5091:

Legendary weapons aren’t that legendary. They have 0 lore. Just simple items with a label.

Indeed. Like all the brand designed clothes, bags, computers etc you can buy. Looks good but no soul.

Yes please. Let us use mounts while in our combat gear and not in the ugly fashion armour. Bought the broom and was disappointed.

I agree. Sometimes i’ve played with really mean or horrible people (want to report) or really good and kind people. (want to add as friend)

When ArenaNet posts in a thread you can see an icon next to it. I’d like to propose an idea to let us click the icon and see all the posts made by ArenaNet. I don’t always want to scroll through hundred of pages and “try” to find that one post(s).

They often post important/interesting information about the game, so yeah let us be able to read them without having to waste our time to find them.

Meh. Concept art armour always looks better. It’s hard to make all parts and details of an armour set just like the concept because of the 3D character models, i guess it would take too long time to “perfect” them in 3D.

Oreoginal.1580:

How much armor do you have?

I only see this feasible with a full zerker Thief with maybe full stacks of Bloodlust (if you got hit by 12k with 2.8k+ armor). In which case, that sucks for you. But these thieves are usually as glass cannon as anyone can possibly be and usually go down pretty fast so they don’t really pose any big threat.

They are a threat. If they can immobilize and kill you within 1 second, then go invisble and also blind you. How isn’t that overpowered?

Edit: Nvm, TP said he’s a glass cannon himself. Would be OP if he was a “tank”.

Is there any lore behind the legendary weapons? i would really like to read the story of them, why they exist and how amazing they are. It’s just really dull to farm for a legendary and you don’t know anything about it. kind off meaningless…unless you are a hardcore roleplayer.

It’d be interesting if you get story missions for the legendaries that you can go through, like Brahms and Roxx story etc but with the story on the legendary weapon(s). It would really make the lore of GW2 even deeper and more interesting, as a legendary is something you spend ALOT of time to get and it’s very very rare.

Could be Magus Falls though. Next to Rata Sum.

Yeah pretty sure it’s Maguuma Wastes. There’s a bridge in Maguuma Jungle that is broken and on the other side is a portal to another zone, so most likely this zone they have been working on. ArenaNet probably plan far ahead.

And yet nothing in these Living Story releases have required “large amounts of time”.
Effigy could be done in about 2 hours (and 2 hours during the course of a month is very little), the pinatas could be completed around that amount of time as well. And the candy eating could be done in 2 minutes more or less.

How is it incorrect?
Would the real world feel living if everything was put on hold for two weeks because you hadn’t experienced it yet?
How about WW2? Should we remake that so that you can participate in it, since you missed it?

I’m sorry, but your arguments are so far beyond ridiculous that it won’t do either of us any good to continue. If its all the same, I’ll wait for other responses.

You’re just a whiny little kid, please get off the internet. You have no arguments what so ever. If ArenaNet released content every 2 month it would feel wierd, with living story and living world it has to happen more frequent. You don’t have or don’t need to participate in any of the events, if you want you do it, if you can’t then you can’t.

I want a blood and bone armour set + weapon. It would look really cool and different.

Yeah i agree, GW1 is more enchanting than GW2, graphicwise. The models in GW2 are better though and the graphic is better, just alot more “painted”

Well, yes GW2 PvE open world content is run around the world doing stuff.
If there were huge zone/world events like in Rift that would be really cool, like the event in Silverwood and Freemarch. Let events like that happen, but not too often.

Bring back UW and FoW as raid content, make the zones hard and worth doing.

Grimno.6172:

They are available for all classes.
You just had to choose the one for your class.

That’s what i mean. The gauntlets are account bound, so you can only use them for either your light, medium or heavy armour classes. Instead they could have made them available for all your characters and scrap the restriction/limit of only light, medium and heavy.

I like heavy for Charr.

They look different for each race.

Looks like a content update for something bigger, like an introduction to a new zone or two.

Why did ArenaNet make light, medium and heavy versions of the Fused gauntlets. Really bad decision, should have removed those restrictions and made them available for all classes so all character on your account can wear them.

Too late now though.

Well…yes. The only endgame worth doing is farming CoF path 1 and killing chest bosses and save up for a legendary and gem store items.

Looking forward to TESO on PS4 though!
also wished GW2 had better action controls like in Tera, would be alot more fun.

I like Asura but everything looks so small..small weapons i still have a 80 ranger asura though. kitten .

I want to be able to change race.

It doesn’t matter what PC users don’t want, what matters is what console users want. If it’s coming for PS4 it’s not the PC users vote who counts but the console users. It seems like most PC users are ignorant and selfcentered. “CONSOLES SUCKS OMFG release GW2 for PS4 and i keeel youu!!”, more mature than a 12 year old.

If you really believe in the future and support the development in technology you wouldn’t say PCs have a brighter future than consoles. Atleast when it comes to Sony and Playstation, the japanese are just to good at this stuff, while Microsoft just keep doing their greedy bussiness and thinking.

Consoles ARE the future, they will get even more effective and smarter than they are and PCs will always be the same as they are. Time stand still for PCs.

This is not a console war forum. Take your trollposts elsewhere please. Troll arguments marked black.

And to put things in perspective. You’re playing GW2 in Windows, it’s built on DirectX and it’s 70% certain you’re using Internet Explorer for your post. Guess which greedy business made this game possible?

Yes games are developed on PC, used for other basic and advanced stuff a console can’t, that’s great, but for the casual user who’s not developing games etc a console is the future.

I’m using Google chrome. IE is kitten.

Yes, grind sucks. If ArenaNet made their game harder and made better instruductions to builds and teamwork etc GW2 would be more successful and reduce the grind with this in mind.

TESO and Destiny are two new mmorpgs that will release on console. I doubt TESO will fail on console with the combat it has, almost like Skyrim.

You can already upgrade PS3 and PS4s HDD, nothing else though. You can already use a keyboard and mouse on consoles if you want, may not work for all games though. As time goes we will probably be able to play PC games on consoles and upgrade its components just like a computer. The things with consoles are they are more effective and smarter, while a PC is usually a big chunk of metal and overprized.

If TESO, Final Fantasy and Destiny is a success i think ArenaNet would atleast consider releasing GW2 for console.

What the hell is that ugly armor? seriously they could have made a much better job on those sets. The other three sets that released from GW1 looks pretty crappy aswell, especially the light armour. Do they really think these armour sets will sell when they make them uglier than the armour sets you can get in-game?

I’m really tired of playing on PC and with the PS4 on the horizon i’ll buy that, the latest console i bought was 10 years ago, the PS2. I don’t really know why ArenaNet isn’t pushing GW2 for console when there are like 2 or 3 mmorpgs releasing this or next year for PS4 (and failbox).
I tried the combat mode for GW2, it played more like Tera and it was 100x more fun.
Consoles are the future of gaming, they get more powerful each time and they also stay pretty cheap.

I don’t know but GW2 need to release on console, atleast PS4.

I hope we will see Shiro Tagachi come back in an expansion like Cantha and Ritualist as well.

I just started thinking about all the elder dragons in GW2 and all of them represent an element. That got me thinking of the Bijuu in Naruto, Sage of the six paths scattered the original Bijuu into 9 bijuus to reduce the power of it. What if the gods already fought the elder dragons once and scattered them around the world to reduce its power. Maybe this dragon was the creator of the world? an organism that created all, kinda like the aftereffects of a big bang.

RNG. Never trust RNG. RNG will kitten your brains out. Stay away from RNG.

Go farm CoF and other speedruns and then exchange the gold to gems and buy the boxes. It’s easier.

Where’s the Infinite Sickle like the Molten alliance ining pick that we could buy from Flame & Frost update. I am disappoint

Wow that backpack looks cool. How do i even get one? patch notes doesn’t inform us of these items.

I can’t find a single one in Wayfarer Foothills but i found them all in Diessa Plateu. Will they appear anytime?

Shadowlancer.7102:

@ Zoid.2568

Can you explain this? Did you play World of Warcraft? Are you use to pets tanking mobs or taunting them.

Your topic of discussion is questioning itself.

If you don’t know the issues with pets and minions please try read about it before you question me. Clearly there’s a huge problem in different areas of the game, like Dungeons and WvWvW.

I want bigger flags and in different shapes.

The worst thing for GW2 classes right now is Ranger pets and Necromancer minions.

I didn’t say they don’t earn a load of cash, they most likely do but ArenaNet/NcSoft and their community would benefit more if they sold them directly for gems.
RNG works for in-game loot from npcs and chests, not from in the gem store, not if you want to make a good deal.

How do you know that they would benefit more from selling them directly?
There are already people spending loads of $ on the chests, most likely way more money than they would have gained from selling the items directly.
Rather hard to discuss without any real numbers though, but since ArenaNet actually have these numbers I will assume that they know what they are doing.

I bet you’re wrong. We haven’t really seen ArenaNet sell weapon skins outside of chests except for wintersday when there were not so very attractive weapon skins. If they sold these Fused weapon skins directly for gem i promise you they would make more. It makes sense and if something makes sense you should go with it, not only will they make more cash but their community, their players will not feel ripped when they bought 100 keys and got nothing or hopeless because they don’t want to spend alot of cash on something that’s controlled by RNG.

lordkrall.7241:

Zoid.2568:

How would they earn less money? i bet their sales would increase by a 1000 times or more.
There’s very few who want to risk real cash on RNG when you might not even get a ticket for a weapon skin.

The fact that they keep adding limited time things to the chests would prove otherwise though.
If they didn’t earn loads of money from it, why would they keep doing it instead of selling the skins outright?

^ Yeah that’s the word. Immersive, the story telling need more of that.

lordkrall.7241:

Zoid.2568:

Why would you buy 131 chests? that’s alot of money. Why can’t they sell tickets in the gem store for a given amount of gems and that’s it.

Because they would earn less money that way?

I really enjoy the living story and the missions with Braham and Rox. They are much better made than most missions in the personal story and i don’t really like the old “head to head” cinematics, i enjoyed the in-game cinematic much much more.

They really wasted alot of time on the old cinematics and out of nowhere they say "yeah the new in-game cinematics (what we had in GW1) are much better than the old “head to head” cinematics.

Most GW1 players asked for the in-game cinematics like in GW1 but instead they went to try something new that just didn’t work. Two talking heads with some moving art in the background and most of the times it art that doesn’t even fit the place you are in, you’re in maguuma and the art shows surroundings of the shiverpeak. Wow how real it feels, just cheap and not adding any feeling to the situation at all.

I like the new living world events, i hope they can make them more intense and interesting in the future and when they release expansions go with the in-game cinematics instead.

I can see the reason for why they didn’t go with in-game cinematics from the start, it would be too expensive but now after the launch they have made enough money to pay off their debts to NcSoft and use in-game cinematics instead.

Would really want them to change the original story with in-game cinematics, but most likely won’t happen. Just feels like a waste of effort when they do something half kitten as something big as the story telling.

Sorry if i went a bit off-topic but i had to get it out.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

well i sure hope they can re-do it for all the original personal quest.

I hope so too.

Eurhetemec.9052:

There’s a thread about this on the F&F forum, and yeah, people like this much better.

I’d certainly like to see more of it going forwards, but going back? That would be a colossal waste of resources, imho. You say “a lot of work but it would be a lot better”, and sure, but “a lot of work” is understatement of the year! It would take the same amount of work as making dozens or hundreds of NEW cinematics.

So what would you rather have? Old content that most of us are past re-done as cinematics, or huge amounts of new content? I vote for huge amounts of new content. Living art stuff like the intro for your character is really good, too, and definitely should not be changed.

It’s only the personal story stuff with the two people talking that is kind of weak.

The intro is good but not the other conversations you have in every mission with art in the background and two heads chatting. People said they wanted cinematics like in GW1 before GW2 came out but we got this and it’s not good because it leaves you rather disconnected from the story and not like you are a part of it, it’s not deep enough.

With the new living story we have met Roxx a female charr and Braham and male Norn, son of Eir. With these updates they used In-game voiced cinematics instead of what you see in the Personal Story. This is more like what we saw in GW1, it looks and feel much better and you are more drawn into the situation.

I don’t know but it feels like they wasted alot on the Personal Story and the new living art cinematics with talking heads. Will we see a total remake of the personal story cinematics or will it be the same? alot of work but it would be alot better.

Roxx and Braham is two really interesting characters that you won’t forget, while alot of the characters from the personal story is “meh”.

“_One of the things they’re most proud of, small as it might be, is the way in which the Living Story ditched the “talking heads” vignettes players experienced all throughout their 1-80 personal story and instead opted for the more immediate and in-game voiced cinematics that are a lot more like Guild Wars 1. The talking heads took you out of the game each time, and ultimately Colin said that this more traditional representation of the character interaction just feels better and much less jarring_ "
- MMORPG interview

This sounds very good! Necromancer minions need som love.

It would be nice if we could preview two 1-handed weapons at the same time. Like a sword and a shield or two axes. You know what i mean.

It doesn’t say it’s for Town Clothes only.

Not only i was disappointed.

Bump
15characters

I thought i was going to be able to use it with my armour, outside of battle with singets affecting my movement speed. I was really disappointed when i could only use it with Town Clothes.

In the gem store it says: Move in style with a Riding Broom and you see a human in his armour riding the Broom like he should. Looks really sweet!

What you really get is a broom that you can only use while in town clothes and your stretching your arms out like your balancing on it.

Sorry, but you need to make these items better, the animations and how you can use them. I thought it would be more like a mount, same speed as your character, affected by singets movement speed. but nah
