Guild Wars 2

Tribulation needs some serious bug fixes or at least a way to exit and reenter. I had no problems with W1 but now I am doing W2, in Z1 I got glitched into a rock halfway through, I was told by friends that I should type /stuck and I would be freed. This didn’t happen I was instead given the message attached below.
Seriously anet, this is stupid. I wouldn’t mind if this was a one off but I did Z2 and got stuck in a kittening log.
At least make a way to kill yourself so you can get back to the checkpoint instead of forcing me to exit and reenter and losing all my progress.

Please can you add the Tribulation Balloons to the gem store or as a meta reward for Tribulation mode, they’re awesome.

This gives players an unfair advantage on time gated items such as laurels, meaning some players will get ascended weapons faster than others, hardly fair anet I expect better. A simple fix would be to send the AP, karma and laurels to anyone that didn’t complete their monthly early to put us on equal footing.

Pit Goddess.7460:

All those who play PvP I am sure do not like the current way the auto balance system works. You bust your butt getting points for your team, get in the lead, just to be switched over to the losing team AFTER a new player comes in on your team. MY suggestion is to set the Auto Balance to only switch the NEWEST of players to the other team. I think this is the fairest way to keep everyone happy.

Do you realise when you switch over during autobalance it counts as a win for your stats automatically? Also if you volunteer you get bonus rank points and glory. :P
Learn all the facts next time before complaining please.

banana.9038:

As far as I know, karma items are still necessary to allow champions to award it when killed (drop boxes that contain karma, champions don’t give karma on kill unless an actual event) [also applies to chests/etc]. For the daily, however, the jug should just be replaced with equivalent karma.

Why can’t the karma automatically be added to the account wallet when you open the champion boxes, like what happens with the 3 Dungeon tokens when you open the boss bags.

linuxotaku.4731:

lazila: You’re aware that the karma boosts are going to stop applying to liquid karma as of the next update, right? Makes the karma ascended trinkets … well, not completely useless, but much less useful. With that change, there will be no real reason to store liquid karma — it’ll be just like bags of gold, AFAICT.

Yes this is what I mean, liquid karma is pointless. It just takes up space in our inventory/banks. Originally consumables such as liquid karma were useful because they allowed us to choose which character got the karma but now they are useless.

Seriously though why do they still exist? I can understand why they existed before we had wallets but not karma is character bound so the point of having karma consumables?
Why not give a flat out amount of karma from either chests or dailies/monthlies.
Just my two copper.

Aradusm.6420:

Come up with New Skills for Your Favorite Profession!
The idea behind this is to create your own skill! Be creative because this skill could end up being used by ARENANET to add to Utility Skills or New skills all together. Some of these skills could be nice addition to profession of your choice, accompanying skills that are already in utility skills or come up with something completely new to guild wars 2.

New Elite Utility Skill: Conjured Lightning Great Sword
Profession: Elementalist

Hundred Lightning Gashes - Repeatedly Strikes Multiple Foes, causing stunning the foe and causing them to be vulnerable.
Profound Pressure Arc - Sends four projectiles of compressed air flying towards targeted foe rapidly while pushing the foe backwards, with each successful hit the enemy gets pushed back further and the damage stacks with each hit.
Instantaneous Sweep - Teleports forward and slashes enemy’s ankles with the great sword, causing them to be knockdown and crippled.
Lightning Fast Counter - Deflects any incoming attack from foe for 10 seconds. Every time you successful defend, you counter with multiple lightning that jump from one foe to the next that damages them and causes them to be stun.
Day of the Storm - Calls up a tornado that knock down foes, strikes them with lightning causing them vulnerability and weakness, while dealing massive damage to foes that have been struck.

Too OP

The Predator – A wild apex predator (possibly one of the alien Predators from the movie franchise if Anet can obtain the necessary trademark/copyright rights) chases the player down and stalks them, turning invisible and appearing around every corner and becoming visible at every new WP either behind or infront of them. If the predator catches up with them they receive a permadeath.

The Moot – everyone in the map starts dancing uncontrollably when this weapon is unsheathed and is not able to move or do any other act until the weapon is sheathed, Even mobs friendly, hostile and neutral begin dancing.

The Dreamer – every so often the players in the holders party slip into ‘dream with in a dream’ (basically an overflow of the current map with weird stuff happening) if multiple people have ‘The Dreamer’ equipped they can slip into further levels, if you die with in deeper levels of the dream you will be sent to permanent limbo where you get a choice to decide if you are in limbo or not, if you think you are in limbo you may try to kill yourself if you are in limbo you are returned to the normal map, if you are not in limbo you are permabanned.

Kraitkin – the snakes roll off the trident and multiply into the map until there are 1000s, they surround the players killing them until someone shouts ‘I am sick of these motherflipping snakes on this motherflipping plane’.

They run press betas for most of the big new content, Dulfy count as press. Get over it.

IDD they should add it to one of the sets.

Draconicus.7564:

Yes they are very useful!
It’s quite logical that the only way to resolve this issue is add a option to the game, where we can see them, or not!
Like the one they add related to instrument music…we can listen them…or not! Quite simple and all ppl happy!

I’m not happy about that, on my server I was known as the famous midget trumpeter, now people will not hear my beautiful music and I will not get tips.
How am I supposed to go home and feed my midget children? And quell the rage of my abusive midget wife, how?!?!?!?!?

God kitten in butters, go back to playing Hello Kitty Adventure Island.

In seriousness click G and the make sure you have clicked represent. If there is sort of a line through your the block next to your name on the guild panel you are not representing.

Anet do listen to us. You’d be surprised how many times I Google a new feature listed in the patch notes and a several month old suggestion thread.
To be blunt, there’s a difference between good suggestions and bad suggestions, if you suggest good ideas Anet will listen.

Would making tags automatically turn off in cities like LA be better?
I don’t know about you but it can be an eye sore when you’ve got AFK commanders all over the city minimap.
That being said I don’t mind too much, I’d rather the devs focus on other more important content rather than something as small as commander tags.

Golgathoth.3967:

Holy crap, those achievement chests! I got crushed by loot. XD

IDD all that PvP gear is nice :p

Dictionary definitions

Cynicism
Doubtful as to whether something is worthwhile.
e.g. ‘Gold, laurels, game stuff in general is worth kitten’ = Cynicism

Pessimism
A state of mind in which one anticipates undesirable outcomes.
e.g. ‘I won’t get a legendary no matter how hard I try’= Pessimism.

You can call cheese chalk if you like. It doesn’t make it true no matter how you argue.

Cynical – Believing that people are motivated by self-interest; distrustful of human sincerity or integrity.
Pessimistic – A tendency to stress the negative or unfavorable or to take the gloomiest possible view

See what I did there, I used the definitions that support my argument rather than using both definitions of the word … look familiar?
At any rate both usages of the word would have been correct in that context but that wasn’t your point. You tried to pedantically pick at the correctness of my grammar in a petty attempt to get some form of virtual 1 up and instead blundered. GG

alexjolly.1463:

The pessimistic attitude makes me wonder.

You mean cynical.

Nope I meant pessimistic.

Forgot to mention achievement chests and much more :p

DW no one has the mentioned finishers as permanents, I personally have 2 left over from Winters day and they have turned into limited use. I imagine they will be on the gem store next winters day/Halloween.

Contiguous.1345:

What’s the point of transforming one useless currency (laurels) into another (gold) or even a third (T6 mats).

When you quit the game it will all just vanish into electronic limbo.

Yeah – Cat Tonics I guess.

The pessimistic attitude makes me wonder.

kaikalii.4198:

Four words: Endless Mystery Cat Tonic!

It’s a trap!!!!!

No seriously I’ve heard from many people that it’s a massive waste of laurels.

T6 mats and the ascended amulet are the only way to go IMO :p

There is rain on a lot of the maps, I know that it’s the Maguuma and Kryta maps that have it mostly. Snow storms are obviously limited to the Shiverpeaks.

[DvG] are awesome and so is Desolation, they’ve done so good I had forgotten [IRON] ever existed. Keep up the good work guys.

Hey, I’m an officer for the guild Exss and we play on Desolation.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/Excessum-Exss-is-recruiting-on-Desolation
Here’s our recruitment thread, feel free to contact us in game (we use mumble.)

Gabby.3205:

^Again, please talk to the npcs/overhear conversations between them.
The Fallen Angels are in Ebonhawke because the Queen has interests there (the peace treaty). That’s what one of them says, I’m not just deducing it. Nothing about this statement implies that the Queen governs Ebonhawke.
The people of Ascalon Settlement do not recognize Queen Jennah as their ruler. Talk to them. They are not happy with the presence of the Seraph.

I prefer to take into account information that is in the game.

Edit: The kingdom of Ascalon does not exist anymore. However, the nation of Ascalon does.

Just because NPCs are disagreeing with something doesn’t mean it ceases to exist.
Jennah is the regent of Ascalon therefore it is part of her Kingdom, her kingdom being Kryta this makes Ascalon part of Kryta and abider to the laws of Kryta.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Queen_Jennah

Such a great way for elitist to push their kitten around. I had one guy harassing people in PvP because he was getting beaten constantly, next round he stayed in the lobby but as a spectator followed my friend around and spam whispered them about everything they are doing wrong, essentially giving ‘advice’ in the most condescending manner possible, an inspect feature would only increase this so no thank you. (Also the ping feature exists for a reason, let people share what they want to share)

Aberrant.6749:

@ OP If people are being verbally abusive, then report them. That’s not cool and isn’t tolerated by A-net. Report them.

alexjolly.1463:

That’s unfortunately the way that games in general work, there will always be a small percentage of players who want to get the most with the shortest amount of time, and what you’re seeing now is these elitist ‘zerker’ farmers who have abandoned CoF p1 and took up Champ Farming, they’ll rage in map chat and even harass people via whispers and if your opinion differentiates from theirs they’ll accuse you of ‘QQing’ and call you a ‘n00b’.
I play on Desolation as well and want to tell you these toxic players are a minority and not every guy doing the champ farms out there is an ahole.

They didn’t wait for you at a champ spawn or they didn’t let you tag an ember champ, and you’re complaining, then that’s selfish of you. Why should 50 people wait for just you?

If you’re getting kicked because the group isn’t working for ember farm, then you might well be the one holding back 4 other people. Just don’t be so selfish and realize that there are far more other players are trying to do than just you and don’t take it personally.

What? I’m not talking about this personally. I’m talking about the lynch mobs that will attack a person or group of people because maybe they killed a champion without knowing it’s part of your precious farm route.
Please don’t make assumptions about me or put words in my mouth.

Aloysiouss.1025:

alexjolly.1463:

The devs said they will add new races before they add new professions.

What race do you think they will introduce?

Tengu seems most likely or something new unseen involving either the Crystal Desert or the Maguuma Jungle.

MokahTGS.7850:

I’ve mailed 100 gold back and forth and have not been banned. There isn’t an autoban ghost in the machine if that is what you are worried about.

I’d like to agree with you there but it does seem to be some form of autoban system, either that or incompetent support staff.
One of my guildies was banned from game because the guild leader sent them money, reasons stated by Anet was that it was for buying gold, obviously this was cleared up using support and the ban was lifted but it would lead you to believe there is an autoban system.

The devs said they will add new races before they add new professions.

I spent 80g on exotics to get my precursor ‘The Energizer’, it was a really cliche moment when I was really ready to give up, I had two exotic maces in my bag and I thought why not I’ll do two more and then give up after this one and farm and buy it instead and that’s when it dropped.
The only advice I can give is to be patient and don’t give up.

Didn’t the OP ask which server had the biggest community? Not which was the nicest or how great your server is. Fact since the server uncap Baruch Bay and Desolation are the only Very High pop servers therefore they are the biggest communities.

Hey so I noticed that you introduced the ‘Instrument Volume Slider’ recently to filter out noise that players are finding annoying.
Well I have an equally annoying noise that I feel needs filtering out, that noise being Trahearne’s voice.
His voice is drony and more lifeless than Zhaitan’s Minions.
I’m even tempted to report it as a bug that blocks progress because his voice is like a blackhole that draws in any fun from the personal story and prevents me from doing it.
It doesn’t have to be a slider, I’ll compromise with a Trahearne mute button.

And add a buff people gain once they join the jumping puzzle for the first few times.

But there is already a buff for players who don’t want to engage in fights – the three mystic fountains I already mentioned. Every use of the magic fountain grants five minutes of invisibility which means no matter how much you are inexperienced the only thing you need to do is follow people and keep away from the fights.

1. how to get past the groups of enemies at the start?
2. how to get past after the beginning of the dark room as you are supposed to give up invisibility to get through with the torches?
3. how to get past groups of enemies past the dark room?

-> keep in mind people who never did the jp before have no idea where to go, how to jump, they don’t even know there are traps that can’t be activated. There’s no tutorial on the mechanics of this jumping puzzle.

1. Apply speed buffs and run. Out of the various times I’ve done this I’ve never been killed at the start.
2. Simple, when you see enemies coming towards you drop your torch thus cloaking yourself in darkness.
3. Same answer as above.

Logan followed his heart and Queen Jennah is a very powerful Mesmer there’s no proof that she didn’t manipulate him, in fact it’s highly likely that’s the case.
His actions at Ebonhawke in commanding both the Charr and Human against the Branded forces helped better the relations between the two races.
What he did is in the past and if you finish the games story you see this.
Prior to the end of the game no Destiny’s Edge member deserves to attribute those words to themselves.

This is what alpha testing is. Arena net most likely tests their new content thoroughly, but despite this there will always be kinks that you can’t predict and bugs which may not be found.
All this does is make it necessary to play content twice just to be one step ahead of the competition.
I’m all for previews of certain concepts just to see if they work or if they are enjoyable, but having a whole server to preview every new bit of content seems silly.

Hey just wanted to say I’m really enjoying the new mini games like Aspect Arena and Southsun Survival.
I thought I might suggest that you add these game modes and other similar game modes to the Custom PvP Arenas (or add a similar kind of kit just for mini games) so that we can enjoy the games modes with friends and guildies.

I imagine we’ll push both candidates into a circle, gather around them and randomly chuck them weapons until one candidate leaves the circle with the other candidate’s severed head. (One can dream)

Guys, are we really going to have to deal with another 5 days of Trash talk, bad mouthing and insults?

Even IMO, it doesn’t look like they are trying to hack/are hacking. Until I see pics of players inside a tower/keep/castle without the gates or walls down, I don’t believe it.

I don’t like that either and i will not do it, but i had to defend my players and guild reputation. As i stated, i’m vehemently against cheating and hacking. I’m sorry that our opponents think that, when we simply want a fair fight!

CBA arguing tbh, we know what you did,you know what you did and your allies know. We can leave it that,let’s just have a clean week from now on.

‘Hiding’ = trying to glitch in by jumping. Its really a shame because I’ve enjoyed playing SF so far and it really is the few that let the whole server down. And come on you might as well admit it because people on your own server have seen you doing it.

Remember when Deso was crying about 500 canadian on Vizunah ^^

And Vizunah never cried about anything…

From the look of this thread it looks like crying about alliances that don’t even exist. They’re like babies, when things don’t go their way they throw all their toys out of the crib.

Great first night of WvW. Enjoyed playing so far and had some nice fights against the other servers.
