Guild Wars 2

They will not merge ranks, who cares about that anyway. Only the other server can see that. They will merge WXP from chars to account.

I’d very much like your build + gear but I can understand if you want to keep it to yourself a bit. Trying a bit of S/D myself in WvW and so far I kinda like it.

Hoelbrak because it is big enough, not the cramped place that is rata sum. It was made for small asurans not men, Norn and Charr. Also easy in wintersday

In the interview Colin gave to I think it was Eurogamer there was an interesting section. It went something like 350 people working at Anet and they cannot be all working on the LS, so an expansion is in the making there is no doubt there.

And yes you are right about the insane group retaliation. It is promoting zerg play even more.

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

Lineage is by far NCsoft’s biggest earner, followed by Guild Wars 2, Aion, and Blade & Soul. The company said that WildStar is on track to launch in mid-2014 and that the key GW2 focus is not on an expansion but with bringing the game to China.

I hope I’m somehow wrong or this source is unreliable, but it’s looking really grim right about now. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised…

Source

I wonder how GW2 will do in china. Also makes me wonder what their WvW looks like with 1 million thiefs running around.

Yeah two of them are reached through the rocks and the other one is easily fixed with an opening on ground level.

AnonEMouse.7932:

There should at least be another way of getting Quartz in the game..

I have most of the Celestial crafting recipes, but I can’t get quartz (my own quartz, and not off the TP), to make things with… this really shouldn’t happen.

I have the other way round. No recipies but charged crystals. And the recipies do not come cheap, and they are about to get nerfed too. :/

To Splatter Paw,

" "Each class has good ways of fending off a thiefs initial burst and then taking the advantage* "

Please demonstrate this wonder (in video format), where each class has a good way of fending off thieves initial bursts.

Also

Please explain these to me.

Thanks!

That first guy shouold die from anything weaker than a fart. Look at his armor and health.

Another step for d/d thiefs to use the cheese d/p build? And that’s not a good thing.

I hope they never raise it, 80 is more than enough.

Oh come on now.
We all know that you dislike the game (and for some reason you are still here month after month shouting about it.) but attacking people working on it directly?
That is a new low even for you.

Nooo I dislike parts of the game. And even then there is lots of potential. And I had no idea he is working for Anet, but I am not allowed to say his hair looks stupid because he does?

Improve scouting perhaps? Right now they are needed but miss out on all the fun and loot :/

wtf is wrong with that guys hair.

That is the main thing about the LS, it’s all gone and if you miss it it makes the game feel less like it would be with larger areas. I am all for expansions, much better than the LS ever could bring.
But think of it this way, there are over 300 people working at anet, just a few of them on the living story. Makes you wonder what the other lets say 200 are doing. Expansion or perhaps another game.

I do dailys and wvw with all my toons. I do not have a favorite, but some are more usefull in wvw so they get more attention

The vigil keep as to be a very temporary thing, way too small and not instanced like LA is. They/we need a bigger place to rebuild the new city. I’d say slay the chickens next to LA and take that. The size is about right And feathers are always good to sell.

Vol.7601:

Why is everyone so eager to play a race mirrored after chickens? ;S

I have no idea, I dont want to be bigbird. I’d say leave that sort of things to other games. The asura and charr are borderline weird to me.

Will there be a new use of spending Karma my dear Devs from Anet?
Like many people around we have fully upgraded lvl 80’s and now have less need of Karma unless it’s spending on karma to gold.
Thank you.

I would like to have the supply drops in some form like they are in eotm. Right now the invisibility is so broken in wvw that one small group of players can totally deny a server supplies in EB.

I want my gothic axe, and my gotic sword, my spiked targe and kanaxai
’s axe.
But I would not mind stopping in Elona before going to Cantha btw

Erukk.1408:

FlamingFoxx.1305:

Actually I don’t think chances are slim at all. A lot of the devs have repeatedly expressed interest in going back to Cantha.

If we ever do go back, I can just imagine when their jumping puzzle designers are going to do with the urban sprawl that is Kaineng…

It would not look like the old city anymore. Atleast that is what I would hope. I loved the expansion but the city kaineng was one of the worst places in the game imo.

A good guild of 15 will have no problems with a pug group of 25.

Works now.
and 15 chars.

One panic or spitefull spirit would shutdown/destroy a whole zerg in WvW
Much too powerfull for this type of game.

Retake or rebuild the main hub city somewhere else? Would be a nice touch I think that slowly but surely in the new Living stories either a new city arises and we helped building it? Even more awesome if our guild halls would be part of this new city. And you have to work to have your guild in that nice shiny guildhall in the mainstreet/mainhall.

I think some people use it for crafting achievements and crafting in general to level up?

So when the new lineage eternal comes out(have not heard from it in a year) these poor koreans will have to stop working in order to play all these games :/

It would only make sense if there was a working asura gate to cantha, and the rest got destroyed. But there is none, and what would happen to the people that do not want to buy the cantha expansion(yes those weirdos exist apparently)

RedSpectrum.1975:

aspirine.6852:

So. basically people do not use s/d + d/d builds in wvw? I am getting a bit tired of running with a sb without using that for 99% of the time so I thought using s/d as a secondary set.

The thing is to use a sword usually requires a build specifically for the sword, this is because SD can be very initiative hungry. DD can hold up with a minimal initiative based build, so if you’re using DD, you generally wouldn’t use SD as you’ll quickly ind yourself running out if resource, that and you’ll be downright confused as to what to do. Give a stealth thief a sword and watch how cute and confused they look. The sword promotes non stealth play and it’s stealth attack isn’t as powerful as backstab so you’ll downright want to and not want to go into stealth because you want to and not want to use that stealth move you aren’t built for and use those acrobatics you aren’t built for

That is quite helpfull thanks. I think I need to see if armours could match or else I will get another set for s/d. I have seen some vids and I think I will like the gameplay. Thanks again.

Zaxares.5419:

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

Introduce MF recipes that allow us to convert excess Ascended mats of one type to another.

I like that, not just mats also gear. From all ascended gear and weapon/trinkets I found there are still 2 useless to me. And I cannto sell them either. But throwing them aways seems… wrong.

Dream, We can wish.

I can only wish those are never made. Really terrible.

It’s very personal, from the things you mentioned only the background chatter in the town annoy me. In Lions arch that is, but they are going to do something about that very soon
None of the combat sounds annoy me, and I cant remember me being annoyed by them in any game. I cannot say if that would be a gamebreaker for me.

Most people would agree on that. But according to Anet the current engine cannot handle all the data.
I would settle for now that elite skills override the 5 people cap. If every profession has a nice aoe elite skill. :/

You still need access to the 3 jumping puzzles I imagine too. But that is easily done.

So. basically people do not use s/d + d/d builds in wvw? I am getting a bit tired of running with a sb without using that for 99% of the time so I thought using s/d as a secondary set.

Hmm still no reply from anet devs? How about doing something before there is talk of a new wvw league. Could be that they have given up on the whole wvw league thing of course.

Attack on LA was also in guild wars beyond, that was actually a fun mission to do. And then it got nerfed if I remember it well.

JJBigs.8456:

i will be extremly upset if LA is destroyed or broken and becomes a unusable or unviable city. In GW1, Kamadan was an acceptable city replacement for LA and eventually surpassed LA’s popularity (by far) but if in GW2 they destroy LA, oh wow will i be mad and will have bad repercussions unless the replacement city is as good as Kama and even then it seems not the same

Kamadan, gw2 expansion in elona confirmed.

I wonder what they are coming up with as a replacment hub. The mists and other portals have to be somewhere. And the transfer gates. Hmmm curious.

It is rather weak, and i also do not like it at all that warrior can stack this higher than a necro would. I would call this a necro condition to begin with, but right now it’s not even worth standing still from. Unless you have the impale one on you.

And then i get to sit around my house in a game? And you are taling about how they waste resources on pointless projects……

Aye.8392:

That video is killer — definitely got me excited for what is to come. And a bit upset — feels kinda like losing Old Ascalon.

haha I rmember going from old ascalon to the ‘new’ part in gw1. i was a bit kittened of what they did to that nice starting area., so kittened off i stopped playing for a few days.

Anmida.4058:

I… don’t understand. How can anyone ever think this is getting better. How is this getting better? I am not bashing you, I swear. Please, explain to me how is this getting better. Because each new update is sending me into an abyssal depression towards the game’s future, and I am seriously worried about them not actually being able to turn this around away from the incoming crash zone.

Are you kidding me? I have never seen the such a major city change in games, LA is one if not the most important city in the game and it looks like they are about to change that.

Allie Murdock.8152:

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know that we’re working on another Collaborative Development initiative that we will be rolling out soon. So, start thinking about some things you would like to see in WvW, and watch out for the new thread!

- A

Griefing would be one of them.

Dayra.7405:

There is a better way. I mean grief play is only asocial it isn’t cheating.

Give players way to get rid of grief-player or other unwanted behavior!

Current WvW is like a guild, where you cannot kick people that do not behave.

Give the people a way to build the team they want!!

I dont know about that. i am all for kicking griefers, but it would also allow people to kick unwanted players. I would rather see that Anet disables access to WvW for these griefers. They are pve players anyway, so no this would not hurt them in anyway.

I really wish Anet would consider a trade system for these ascended items. Either gold or trade for items you could use. I was kucky enough to find several ascended items, but the last 2 items I have no use for. The armour is not usefull for any of my chars and the trinket I found also has no stats i would want. So I am lucky I got them, unlucky that i cant use them. Collecting dust in my chest now.

Canthans
I dont care that they are also humans…

It would work I guess. Anet prefers to delte topics about this issue.
Why has no dev ever responded to this issue, I dont know.
