Guild Wars 2

They have been busy finishing the expansion. A lot of work goes into those videos.

I play maybe about 2 hours a day.. I make around 20 gold, so 10 gold an hour. Run some dailies, run FoTM 50, run a boss or two.

I am hoping that the Scrapper gets the developer attention/communication that the other specs have been having.

That would be awesome if so.

I read kek and stopped reading.

What: UI bug that will unequip your bundle/kit, returning you to your normal primary weapon.

Where: Splintered Coast, during a fight with Tequatl.

When: Every time.

Why: I think it runs code that “unequips” you from the turret, but if you are already away from the turret it just unequips the bundle/kit you currently have on.

How: This will happen after each attack phase of Tequatl. If you are operating a turret as an engineer, and the phase completes going on to battery phase. The moment the attack phase ends, I leave the turret and equip my flamethrower or any other kit. In about 10 seconds after leaving the turret my character “unequips” what it was currently using. Which causes my flamethrower to be unequiped returning me to my primary weapon. This happens every single time after the attack phase.

Disruption to game: This really causes no disruption to game, it is just a minor annoyance. Just getting it out here so it can be logged and added to the list of things. I have myself trained to now count 10 seconds before equiping my kit. If I equip it within the 10 seconds after leaving the turret it will always unequip my kit. Which then causes me to reequip it.

Hi everyone!

Long story short is that display names weren’t designed in a way that allows them to be changed without causing a potential (and significant) batch of problems on the account so we (support) only do them when we reeeeally need to.

The part that is upsetting about the name change, is back in beta when you created an account there was a message when creating your display name that you will be able to change it at launch. Launch came around and you all did not open up the chance for the name to be changed. Hopefully in the future there will be a solution to this where we could purchase a name change, that way we are buying the support’s time in fixing the problem.

Love the scrapper name. My Asura will wear it proudly while kicking kitten with his flying Gyros.

Sad part we only get 1 beta to fine tune the spec.

Paulytnz.7619:

My fix:

1 – Remove chests/keys.
2 – Sell the skins or Tickets DIRECTLY.
3 – Add a TON more skins that people will actually want with no RNG behind it.
4 – Enjoy gem sales.

Gambling of this form has no place in this game at all. The game is a shining example of being great quality from makers with top notch integrity, well that’s what you think until you discover this part of the game.

You can already buy the weapon skins directly? I can open the trading post and buy the skins, there is no RNG involved.

The real concern is how pointless MF is now with event based loot rewards. Luckily MF will stay relevant in Fractals/Dungeons/Raids.

Methods.4023:

Open world housing please

As a person with every home instance node. Yes.

Sylent.3165:

There is no profession stories in this game for any class. The story just depends on race.

I realize this, but they can not give the normal race story to Revenant since it would have been 3 years before the Revenant was even heard of. But I said all that in my OP.

I wonder if there will be a Revenant story line since race specific ones do not count for Revenant.

So knowing that GW2 likes to keep to its timelines. I was wondering what will happen with a newly created character that makes a Revenant. Since the founding of the Revenant will happen 3 years after the normal events of the personal story. I for one am hoping that there will be a unique story for newly created Revenants, rather than just tossing them out into LA.

Has anyone heard anything from Arena Net in regards to this?

lordkrall.7241:

There have never been a “no grind” philosophy.

There have been (and still is) “no need to grind in order to access content philosophy”.

Logic is a hard thing to absorb today it seems. Next thing we will see is manifesto posts linking to the event.

Darkness.9732:

Its just poor design. The people who designed this event should be ashamed

This is the crap I was talking about earlier in my post. You should be perma banned.

crawlerxp.1536:

The staff here has a history—even a policy—of a wall of silence. People are bitter. That’s how it goes.

We used to get very frequent updates on a lot of things going on. But when ended up happening was every single word was pecked apart looking for meanings. Then from there a statement like “we are looking into adding new types of X”. Became “they are releasing X”, then 5 months from then became “they are horrible for not releasing X when we were promised it”. This happened for about 9 months, then everything went radio silence, reason being people complained about what they talked about. But then people complained when they did not talk. So the time spent trying to play cleanup after the statement of “we are thinking about releasing X”. Was just not worth it, so we get updates just not what they used to be.

What do you want them to do come on and say “yes these are the frequency of drops we expected”. If you expect them to say that then you are not thinking rationally.

I am done with this thread, also for reference I do not think the time invested is worth the rewards that I currently do not own in the list available. So I played two events and decided that was enough to experience it. But I did not come on here demanding that the developers speak up for as you say a horrible time to reward ratio.

I try to think I am a rational person.

crawlerxp.1536:

snip

4 days and 2 of them are a weekend. Plenty of time to get one of the big rewards. Some of those rewards were only available in the gem store.

If you do not feel the time required is not to your liking do not play it. Some of the comments made against Arena Net + and the Developers is just disrespectful and should be perma banned from the forums. If you can not speak/think like a rational person than do not.

There is nothing forcing you to do the event. Move on, or show that you are not a rational person and keep complaining.

raiaknl.6348:

We really don’t mind if you say “sorry for our mistake” and shutdown the event to fix it. Don’t push it making urgent patches, it annoys people.
Many players gave up already and even if you fix it, people already lost their hype.

If you shutdown the event and re-design it, then people will try this again.

What a horrible idea, yes lets take time away from HoT development to try to appease a small player base. If you find the rewards/time invested to not be of your liking just do not play the event. Be glad the items available are even there to begin with. I really do not get all the whining, first it was because of a bug, it happens no company/person/entity is perfect get over it. Then people whine because people can not log in do 3 events and get every reward available.

Again if you do not like it do not play the event, go back to working on time/money gained and be silent.

Mantheren.5428:

Can’t we just have that stacking buff persist through map changes/logouts/dc’s?

Just have a stacking buff that resets at daily reset.
Then every time it hits an interval of ten stacks pop up a bouncy reward chest. (or two if its the first time on that map for that day).

Seems a lot less problematic taking disconnects into account.

Attending 5 different events that have the stack and do not go away until reset, that would be gross for the UI.

Random.4691:

I’m assuming prices will be the same but no free character slot. It will probably go down a bit in a couple months.

I do not think it will be a couple months. Maybe a year before the price drops, they do not have a huge incentive to drop the price since people can now play the game for free. I suspect we will not see a normal retailer price drop until the 10-12 month range.

I had player music turned way down. This will be my next BW event test, listen to the humming.

It shows up once every 5 log ins. You can click the extra time once out of 5. If they add a disable button people will just click that. But if they keep the message there, people will get annoyed after a while and sign up. So much time/money goes into restoring compromised accounts.

So yes, you can click that little remind me later button every 5 logins.

The benefits of the message outweigh the need for a disable. Let the button stay until someone signs up!

Anyone else feel the radius needs a bump up, or we need access to a weapon like Scepter?

dom.2748:

They’ll come spinning the same story of how armor is going to be exclusively in-game rewards but fail to acknowledge that since launch we’ve received 2 additional armor sets.

Lies, so the rest of your statement does not event matter. I will only list the three quick ones that come to mind.

Carapace set
Luminescence set
Glory Set

Elias.4028:

Mesmer players defending opness is expected, but Mesmers need their active defenses toned down. Messing up a burst combo then going stealth to wait for CD’s is not skill nor is it fun to play against in wvw/spvp. My suggestion is to lose stealth on mesmers so if they mess up of their burst rotation they get punished and not have invis to fall back on.

Main an engineer, killed many Mesmers over the weekend. So by your logic, Engineer is more OP than Mesmer. So in the end we really need to …

Nerf Engie.

/s

TL:DR OP got killed in sPvP by a mesmer.

You need to select the Herald trait line. It is only select-able in the third/elite spec trait line.

rogerwilko.6895:

I do not enjoy Fractals. I know there are not many who feel the way I do.
I also dislike the whole ‘all stack behind this rock’ so called tactic.

I usually don’t have 1+ hour of uninterrupted play time available.

I enjoy the current dungeons and world bosses, because they are easy / short and I can do them with the many interruptions real life has… blessed me with.

What will HoT bring for the minority of players such as myself? (I know about Raids)

You should read the HoT Fractal update blog. Fractals are no longer going to be the 4 Fractal 1+ hour runs. They are going to be single rotating Fractals, so yes you will be able to compete a Fractal run in 15-25 minutes now. Just like you do with dungeons. Fractals in HoT are going to be the direction of 5-man group content. Dungeons are no more, gone forever.

Ever slight tweak using soldier weapons. But yes I really enjoy this build and felt like I could still take a few hits.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQNAsXin3gWNSuQrJRbo/ksP0gS4I6QJ4EdrkFNFitMppNtBYBNwugJshA-T1BBABA8EAuU9nsU+Vz+DMqEEiTBge6DCAcAwv/+7v/+bpAYSYE-w

I like it as it is as well. I completely forget about it unless I need to take a quick look what I have active.

So my biggest concern for the Herald is the 600 radius for Glint utilities. I would like to promote not stacking but the only way to cover both range and melee is for me to stand in the middle of them. But in doing so I have to use the 2nd hammer for range dps. This then does not let me use any of the shield skills.

Could we either increase radius to 900 or 1200. Or enable the use of a scepter so that we could still range 600 while using the shield skills.

Unless there was a specific reason to limiting range to 600, I would be interested in hearing why.

Kronos.2560:

A ranged 1h weapon would be nice but its not gonna happen anytime soon. I personally didn’t mind the boon range and thought it was adequate (although I would never complain if they increased the range to say 900-1200 or even 2000.).

Yes it would be awesome if they increased it up to 1200. Then at least if people are ranging at 1200 they still get the buffs. But as it stands I have been needing to use the Hammer and stand in the middle.

I really enjoy the way they did it. What has been discussed by other players is to have it be a little more opaque. But that still would not solve your problem in not liking it under the player.

Drayos.8759:

I feel like u arnt understanding right.

It is a Specialization tree, u could in actual fact use 2 Different elites at the very same time, it’ll never actually be removed for a new elite.. a new elite would be added on not replacing.

Glint will not be used on every build, I doubt any Shiro or Mallyx build will run glint, its a Supportive defencesive tree, if ur aiming for damage u wont use it tbh, u have no need to share buffs to ur party if ur aiming to be the Damager tbh.

Sorry you did not understand it correctly. The third spot on the build tree can only equip an elite spec. So you can only ever have 1 elite spec.

It is the first day of this new spec. You all are too focused on it, just try not thinking about it. You really will not notice it after a while, it will just become part of the game.

Herald is pretty awesome, always wanted a Bard like character in GW2. Reminds me of my DAoC days. I think Herald will appeal to different people just like every other class/spec appeals to some and not to others. Really this just means you do not care for it, no reason to change it for the rest of us that like it.

I hardly noticed it after a while just became part of my character. But unless I am standing around doing nothing I do not focus on my character at all. I think if it flashed it would actually bring more attention to you than just being persistent. Since it is always there you will forget about it, the brain tends to not process things that are persistent.

My biggest concern so far with Glint is not having a ranged 1hnd weapon. Since the radius on buffs are 600, I normally try to stand between the range and the melee. Problem is then I have to switch to the Hammer for ranged dps. I know it is far to late in development but I feel that a scepter would have been a great addition to the revenant. Even limiting it to 600 would be fine, I mostly stayed in Glint the entire time making sure that buffs are staying applied.

Maybe this was the trade off from persistent buffs, that if you want to apply them to the most people possible you will need to switch out of the mh/shield skills. Although if HoT keeps with the stacking mentality this will not be a problem at all since everyone will be on top of each other.

Yeah that is a good idea. I guess I was nervous taking away too much from power. I wanted to be able to contribute a bit to putting out some dps as well as tanking. The increased stab could def pay off and I wonder if charged mist could be better for some might since I imagine I will be under the energy threshold most times.

Really it all comes down to if everyone is going to have to run zerker in the raid, or if build and gear selection that is not zerker will matter.

nexxe.7081:

They would be stopping so many potential players if they did this. It’s a bad move all around.

No.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlEQNAS5unXN2gSqJvQR/kbosgyPU4Q5IKYr8EllZlhNma2RNgDewe6r3G-TxRBABZp8bT1fOTJ4h6G0+iAAwTAIm9HIEggxA-e

Basically the idea is to try to balance out Power/Toughness/Vitality to make a character good for front line defense/support. With any luck the raid will require a more defensive build to taunt and absorb hits of certain encounters. I liked having the large health pool, but do not know if I sacrificed too much power to get it. Just curious what others think.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

everyone is just so short sighted.

the sales on steam would be extra profit.
the cut will be worth it.

What does steam bring to the table that you cant get from just downloading the game yourself?

TheFantasticGman.9451:

The good thing is there WILL NOT be a LFG tool for Raids. Personally, I’m building up my friends list with good fractal 50 players because those are the people that I expect to be able to learn and adapt quickly to raids.

There will be a LFG Raid channel, there will not be a Raid Finder. The difference being you click a button and it auto joins people into your group. But the LFG tool already exists and will be used by people to fill for the raid.

I like the extra ??? it makes this even more important than every other post.

Mine just started to be quite bad, no idea what happened in the last week or two. But it stutters when ever I post or buy items.

Zalladi.4652:

Also check that on your map you don’t have “Commerce” unticked at the bottom left corner of the world map by clicking on the ‘Eye icon’.

Yup this is it right here. Open your map, then in the bottom left corner you will see an eye image. Click it, then select all the check boxes in there.

We already know new dynamic events are coming into the game. Why in the world would they talk about a system already implemented. They discussed mastery system because it is a new thing coming with HoT.

In my opinion I am glad they went into the jungle.

After seeing some of the data mined armor.. the artists really out did themselves with the new sets.

Counting down the days!

I didn’t know it had been mined. Gosh I would love to see it! ;_;

Then just add an authenticator and you will never see it again. If you do not want to provide a phone, use the PC based authenticators they remove the message as well. And you only need to use it once, then just tell it to remember the location and you will never be prompted on that computer.

I really do not see the push back some people are having with this. It benefits you by having this extra bit of security on your account.
