Guild Wars 2

Alright you two Let’s redirect this thread before a mod decides it’s getting too far off course and locks our little discussion

Sako.2391:

Yeahhhh… It took me YEARS to give a dear friend from Mabinogi my FB.

Okay like two years.

lol Dude I’ve been through 3 games so far with my guildies and they have NO clue what my true email address or my FB is Nor my real name lol

If I’m talking to you in-game I generally say What’s up and see (Physically since the game is pretty Big Brother about where you are) what’s going on
As far as anything outside the game…We’re in-game friends let’s leave it at that
Now let’s go kick some kitten

Swagman.9013:

I’ve been guilty of this during my whole time leveling. Most of my interactions with other players was mowing down mobs together.

But then I met her, as we each plunged a greatsword into opposite sides of the centaur our eyes met amidst the blood spray. Hypnotized by the sight of each other we slowly drove our blades deeper into the beast until we met face to face and met with a passionate kiss. It was love at first kill with the centaurs death rattle serenading our union.

And Devs always ask why we need an RP Forum section lol

Tradewind.6913:

I guess there’s also the unique perspective for me, I used to run a rather large LAN party in North America and after a decade of interacting with the unwashed masses of “typical gamer land,” I just really don’t want to talk to them anymore. I much prefer to be left alone, I’ll help you on Veterans and Champions and appreciate the same but I really don’t care that you like stuff.

I know that maybe sounds mean….but it’s more ambivalence than malice.

How do you know we’re unwashed? Some of us do bathe

I would yell that if the Bear form actually put up more of a “Fite” than my normal form lol
Unfortunately I’m part of a growing guild and the pains currently are that most of them are pretty dead silent
Even I get quiet when I’m out and about being busy but I do tend to yak with people during major battles or in /say during an event where something is fixing to go haywire

one can only hope Nerodon, one can only hope.

Karma is abundant
GEMs are fairly easy to come by if you just outright buy them
Gold however…You make an Avg of 15s/Hour during playtime in the mid 40s
Unfortunately most everything is gonna cost 2 – 3s to get and then there’s the materials if you craft that also sucks out your funds so by the end of it all You’ve ran around killing indiscriminately and had fun throughout the whole zone to 100% only to end up with like 30s and this is a 25+ zone it seems a little insulting that you get a TON of Karma and can buy Gems all day long for various needs but when it comes to the conversion rate of Gems → Gold it’s…Well lackluster due to the fact money appears to be the scarce commodity in GW2.
Whatever happened to Platinum? did it downgrade in value so much over 250 years that it’s worthless metal now?

my main is a Norn Guardian and she is constantly bringing people back from the brink in large battles
Sadly though no one yet has laughed at my joke line “Bear Form for when you absolutely positively must maul something”

It’s ok Sako I too try to talk to people and only 1/3 of most I encounter actually carry on a conversation with me and sometimes we even trot off together annihilating the countryside

lol Well Jewel-crafting you make a couple discoveries and the gem is ready to go back to storage

Well personally it’s ok with me the problem I run into is with Cooking when the combo ingredients don’t push to the collectibles bank

Oh trust me they do
When my guardian was running the gamut on all the start zones I was definitely smacking down a lvl 5 mob in Sylvari territory easier than I did in my homeland when I was lvl 5 pure

But should you pull several mobs to you…expect to have a 50/50 shot at living

Tomkatt.1684:

I wouldn’t worry about it if you’re enjoying yourself. Heck, I’ve filled all five of my character slots. My main is 47, but the rest of my characters range from level 3-18.

There’s no rush to endgame in Guild Wars 2, so have fun with whatever you happen to be doing.

Haha you stopped at 47 on your main too huh?

You’ve been playing too long…take a break.

It’s fine as is
Discovery have everything on hand
Crafting it’s located in the collectibles storage so it’s ok

Algreg.3629:

Every where you turn something is bugged/broken… Yes, everything is broken, everything, there isn´t a single event or skill challenge not broken. Seriously, did you actually read what you wrote before hitting the post button? Don´t take this as a personal attack, but it is really a boon that WoW is publishing a new update just now and hopefully reclaiming a lot of the disgruntled hordes who are judging GW2 with extreme bias. Have fun there.

What??

Exactly I agree with you, I’m almost 50 with 2 alts at ~25 and I haven’t come across a bug or broken thing yet.

to be fair, the high level areas are worse. But its like 4-5 items per map at most, hardly outrageous for a massive game after 2 weeks and certainly not something to get all worked up about.

Seriously

I Like my character’s face
Voice…not so much.
Thought she’d be kinda feminine but a brash sounding feminine Oh no
She sounds like a guy trying to do a woman’s voice
<—Norn Female Guardian biggest body size scalable

ANet!! I don’t like how people are whining about this game
Just saying since there’s a TON of whine woe is me threads here in general

People
Yes there’s some issues, Yes they’re likely trying to find a happy median
Yes there’s likely gonna be a sour taste in your mouth about some of it
CHILL
OUT
Game has not been out for years like MMORPG (Insert Name Here)

Daidados.4360:

i have a crazy idea in my mind right now.
the idea is to make this game a full free 2 play game.

first you have the ingame shop.
second you need to redesign the ingame world and loginscreen with ingame banners were you can add gaming related commercials and ads and if people interact with them (press f) they get to the website of the ad or see the commercial video with sound.

free2play is the future of online gaming.
playerbase would shoot up since everyone could and would play it.

edit:
problem is, this game mainly wants to be an esport, right? not like a classic pve mmo.
for this goal it needs a big playerbase and if its f2p it will get big.
i’m not talking about if its worth the $60. (it is definitly)
also you could keep the $60 prize and just make the sPvP part of the game complete f2p for everyone.

edit2:
can’t understand why people don’t like this. you think the game would get worse if it would be free? or you don’t want it to become f2p cause you already payed the $60?
isn’t it obvious that this game will only success and get big in the esport scene if it’s f2p?
ok ingame ads – bad idea.
but this is a competitive type of game. not a classic mmo type of game for role players.
at least make the competitive part, the spvp, complete f2p and accessible for everyone. and the rest, the pve and wvwvw is buyable in the ingame shop.

Here’s another crazy idea Take your theory to other games like this one…oh wait…There’s not another you pay a flat fee and play it pretty much free forever
crazy F2P Occupier wannabe

Once you zoom out on the world map totally all the way you can’t tell where one square is an the other starts really
But really they needed some way of distinguishing the corral areas to hold us in

It’s random and hosed atm since they stealth nerfed it on the vendors

Giant wasn’t that bad of a fight imo
You want a HORRID fight go to the Asura start zone……HATE Hate hate that stupid Fire elemental OP as HECK

Prisemy.2197:

I like this idea, but why stop at cooking?

Maybe the old hermit needs a new pair of shoes, or the fort sentries need new armor, or the scholars need new foci, etc

Let’s just get this out of the way now
Crafting Quests

Scott.7496:

Oh, that’s odd. I made a Norn that is under the Wolf and the first quest line involved me working with the wolf “shamans” and receiving wolf’s blessing. I figured it was because I chose Wolf and not the others.

I never did that, I escorted a caravan then went on to beat up people

Actually I’d like to see more being done WITH that skill at 30 for your personal story
It really wouldn’t require a major overhaul of the game and the script they have on Bear they can apply to Raven, Wolf, and Snow Leopard as well to greet you

Riot Inducer.8964:

aeonZgamer.5307:

I leaned on the proper size of a Norn Guardian Female so my GS is pretty fricken huge
Gotta weigh at least 25lbs
But only when I get a speed debuff does she have the awesome swagger of holding the massive blade upon her shoulder

You can keymap a walk toggle in the options. It’s actually rather useful for caravan escorts so you don’t look silly running 5 feet every 10 seconds, not to mention you get to enjoy that awesome walk animation.

Cool thanks I’ll have to do this most definitely

Yasocim.4326:

…or have this NPC be in Lion’s Arch and run a mission/shelter. You donate food to him to feed the needy and you gain karma for each donation.

That’d work too
Feed the Orphans!

Behind this 1000000%

I’m all for this
a Blend of all Race tech’s together
Asuran power system
Charr Engine
Norn Cabin Interior
Human Weaponry
All held together by Sylvari plants as a self sustaining system
How awesome would this be?!?!

Skritt and Tengu
Lagos and Hylek make the most sense since they all seem to have established societies

Really people? REALLY!?
Were you NOT paying attention to WHAT was being launched by the cannon?
If you have yet to explore the area Somewhere someone in the area would like your assistance with a little training and then he’ll sell you something nifty in return

Kain Francois.4328:

Best idea ever!

But I wouldn’t mind a minigame either.

Kind of a restaurant where you could discover recipes and be rid of excess food? Brilliant!!!! ANet make it so

Vivisector.5680:

Lol, yeah I have quite a bit of Salt and Pepper, and other mixtures starting to fill my inventory. What I found works the best is to only make the basic’s when I am ready to make the finished product.

Maybe they could make a “Cooking Pantry” sellable for Gems that would store all the intermediate cooking collections as Collectables.

I’d go for this in a HURRY!

Terrahero.9358:

Butter and Chocolate should just be back at the vendor. At this point keeping it as a drop is just meaningless, its still dirt cheap and you dont have to leave to city to get bulks of it.

Seriously, back to the vendor the both of you, and at the same time it clears up the loottable a bit. win – win

Agreed, Also I want my peppercorns back dangit

Calendula.7295:

I don’t care who is sick of reading this… THERE’S TOO MUCH BUTTER. I will find every forum post about this and bump it until I get my egg cartons and orange/peach vendors back!

And Peppercorns!!
We will take all the butter and grease the floors of every dungeon!!!

Krait aren’t exactly a friendly lot
Nor are Centaurs
the others are pretty awesome

Largos and Skritt for next races
The Oceans and deep Caverns

Just watch out for the gate puzzle in Metrica Province. I nearly pulled out my hair in frustration because of it.

I have a sad need to do this one regardless, but I agree it is maddeningly annoying. However the problem that I have with it the most is that there are certain jumps, that if you don’t make will have you land on a root and kill you forcing you to start over instead of being warped to one of the gateways.

The 3 in Lion’s Arch and the ones in the first 3 Norn zones are good, but Griffonrook Run needs to have the bomb portion removed as I do not think there is a way to avoid combat throughout the entire thing.

3 in Lion’s Arch??? I found the one for the Pirate there’s 2 more?

Yup, one incredible well hidden one (won’t give anything away on that one), and one in back of the cave with the two ogre in it.

I will have to go back and sniff around LA again must’ve missed it

Hammers are getting some love down the line, aeon, don’t worry. Some ANet rep confirmed it in another thread.

I actually haven’t tried a greatsword warrior, and I will eventually, but I love my greatsword guardian. I dunno where you guys are getting the “it’s not fluid enough” stuff from. Maybe you’re just not using Leap of Faith in situationally, or don’t understand how well the pull skill at 5 changes the fight to your favor.

There’s casting bars on auto attacks causing slight delays in your fighting, and the skills don’t work that well together.
Great Sword Guardians feel like they were given a bunch of skills that were all somewhat situational as opposed to being skills that just worked well together to form a solid fighting skill set.

Plus their dmg (outside of their roflcoptor move) feels a bit on the low side to me compared to my Warrior.

I do hope hammer does get some love, the casting bar on the third auto attack swing is too long feels very clunky, most of the moves just don’t feel fluid it feels too slow. I just really don’t like the weapon though it has some really amazing skills, namely the banish skill and the ring of warding skill.

Yeah I would prefer if you just lept up into the air and slammed the hammer down on their heads doing the same thing to speed things up and trade off between bar and down time on Hammers
I miss my hammer….But on another note my 1h Weapon with my Shield is a Sword and hoooboy is this thing nasty it’s extremely efficient in dispatching something 1v1

I almost decided to take a little shortcut I found in Diessa Plateau the other day but I wasn’t sure if I would fall eternally or not

It may not be complete as Cooking is a TASK

actually copper was what was Leveling my crafting ability
One of them anyways
Armorsmith/Cooking is what I have
Minute I saw Iron in the 15-25 Zones I was overjoyed but I also mined the heck outta silver too until I went to the forges and realized Armorsmith can’t do anything with Silver so I mailed it to a guildie who could
But the Trading Post is severely hampered too imho since we have to sell these materials to get other materials and the other materials are in seriously short supply
It’s like Dubbya Tee Eff ANet

Yeah I was talking to a guildie earlier about cooking and the Peppercorn change just recently made Cooking go from elite to Legendary
I understand they wanna make it harder to get things you need to craft cooking items with but Holy crap HOW hard do you wanna make it?
Too Hard and Nobody is gonna cook except for the crazy hardcore wackos with nothing but spare time on their hands
a Good start at changing this back would be putting Peppercorns BACK on the merchants as purchasable either Coins or Karma I don’t give a Skritt’s Behind
But please let’s not make things harder than they actually have to be?

vjek.4270:

The Karma vendor at the south end of the Penitent Tunnel in Cursed Shore sells level 80 blue/green water breathers/helms of light/medium/heavy armor types. ~1100 karma if memory serves.

You can Buy them in alot of places for coin or karma but he’s refering to crafting the things

Guardians are a bit more fluid with Shield + Weapon
as far as 2h weaponry Hammer is more seemless but as I said earlier Someone on Borlis Pass finds me a 2h Hammer than can Overcome my current blade and I’ll gladly switch
but as is even Hammers ABOVE my level Suck vs my blade

Rhyse.8176:

For balance reasons, all the PC races have identical hit-box sizes. That’s why you can squeeze under things that are only as tall as your shoulders. The problem is the camera perspective, and when you do that kind of squeezing the camera things it’s backed into a wall. ANET needs to move the camera focus to about the waste level to mitigate it imo.

reminds of this quest I did for a Giant the other day in-game I HEARD something talking but it was the same coloring as the surroundings so I was like What where who?
So I had to pan the camera 8 miles up to see this guy but the stupid tree nearby kept clipping my camera freaking it out

my character has the exact same height and physique of a Norn Guardian NPC

Bear form is purely for mauling something
Go fast hit em hard and keep on going
The MINUTE you decide to second guess consider yourself dead.
