Guild Wars 2

Ohhh expansion ideas

What server is that OP, remember not to go to that one then

Wish I could help you out man, I almost have the same setup as you. But I am not on windows 8, still on the 64 bit version of 7. And I have not done anything to adjust memory usage. Almost everything is on high or highest.

And the 32 bit part, it pretty much shows that Anet decided to use the old engine instead of building one from scrap. But looks like you know a hell of a lot more about this than I do.

Brutaly.6257:

Jumped on my condi warrior and soloed in eternal.

I almost feel dirty atm. I can tell you for sure there is no way a guardian with equal skill can bring me down.

It doesnt matter if its healway, dps or AH, it just cant be done. Im sitting with 25k health,, 3100 armor, about 700 in passive regen, stability up to my ears and close to perma swiftness.

Add in high uptime on fury and that i can friggin get 15-20 stacks of bleeds and torment going.

Its so cheesy tbh but at the same time i like it, been looking for condibuilds for my guardian since release but i can play warrior for a while as well.

If you see a really ugly warrior female with that mushroom helmet if you fight Piken Square, be very afraid. And dont bother trying to kill her, it cant be done unless you are 2-4 guys.

Btw its just as easy as it is in this clip, im not kidding. Im running almost the same setup but with more power, less condi damage and some less healing power-

Youtube is bugging at work, did you run into thieves? There is one on the warrior forum saying condition wars are easy peasy compared to the stunlock ones.

Why did you not level up with the last patch then? It’s almost impossible not to level with last 2 weeks farming content.

Stupid question, but did you choose one of the first 2 options? You cant have them all you know =)

[edit]Ninjas all over this forum….[/edit]

Due to the overflow problem/annoyance I think I have 1/13 now :/

ArmageddonAsh.6430:

Vabbi have plenty of Zergs, not as moronic and clueless as FoW ones but Vabbi still have them. Though its better fighting a Vabbi Zerg then FoW as when FoW lose they have ONE response – Bring more people. They never think about changing tactics or plan if they lose of they fail in what they are doing they simply do one thing – call for more people.

Whatever, please do the same on vabbi then please.

Nurgle.6597:

why bother finishing the event when you get a lot more money if you just farm champs?

Some people care more about virtual points than virtual cash :/
And also it feels wrong not to finish an event, but that’s my opinion.

Advent.6193:

Unfortunately, that would be an insanely broken Elite. I’m generally condi-specced, and I can imagine the crap I can toss out with that many Staff clones, plus a Warlock or 2. Let alone a power spec with multiple Mirror Blades and a couple of Zerkers.
Now, if Master Illusionist instead:
*Granted your current illusions your Vitality, or even a reasonable fraction thereof …
—and/or—
*Allowed your illusions to duplicate (or inversely mirror) your general movement patterns …

That might successfully straddle the border between “OP” and just “BA as all kitten, but workable.”

Also, our Elites don’t suck,

They dont? I’m pretty sure almost all “elite” skills of gw2 suck hard. Not just the mesmer ones.

Rooftop free running anyone?

You totally have my attention now. I remember all these roofs and amazing mazes of streets. I always got lost in Kaineng.

Just imagine all the amazing jumping puzzles possible in Kaineng Slams!!:P

Aaaand just like that, at the prospect of having to see Kaineng City again, I’m not behind this idea. No, seriously, I really was not fond of that part of Factions, I was more a fan of the stone forests which were slowly recovering and the sea which was turned into solid jade.

Kaineng City, assuming there even is one anymore, would most likely be vastly different. We’re talking 200+ years different. Just like LA, Divinity’s Reach, and all other areas that have changed drastically in one way or another. I doubt the ole’ Hong Kong slums would be even there. It wasn’t my favorite part either, but it did look very much like Kowloon, and I enjoyed it simply because of that.

Either way, Cantha as a whole is a much different place than what we know about it from Guild Wars Factions. Echovald is de-petrified, and the Jade Sea isn’t so jaded anymore. All-and-all, I, and possibly millions of other players would be greatly disappointed if Cantha’s not revisited. It’s just too big to write off like that.

200+ years ago, Divinity’s Reach didn’t exist But I do get your point . . . my point was that people imagining freerunning the slums as awesome was not as appealing to me. I mean, I do like my jumping puzzles from time to time.

(Except for the northern one in Southsun Cove with the steamvents.)

But I really don’t like that spot. My apologies, it was both interesting and boring at the same time. I mean, sure it felt like slums and like a city which had been active and restructured several dozen times. But on the other hand, it all kinda blurred into one bit lump in my awareness as I ran through it dodging Afflicted. Or, later, Ministry.

Doh! You’re right, it wasn’t Divinity’s Reach, it was Divinity’s Coast. Oopsies. That sucks! And here I was thinking I was pretty solid on the lore of GW. Oh well.

I agree though, navigating KC was a pain. I still got lost, turned around, completely going the wrong way etc…almost 7 years in. It took a really long amount of time for me to personally appreciate KC as a whole, but I really understand where you come from. The old Afflicted were annoying, and amazingly, pretty solid due to their Ritualists and Monks even if they were running a Smite/Prot hybrid. The updated ones made me want to QQ while finally finishing Cartographer. Even in NM those darn things were pretty tough for Sabway since their Necros could steal Minions ( was never a fan of Discordway ). Luckily I finished prior to PO’ing the Ministry, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have even finished.

I think the area in Factions that has me most excited to see redone, is probably Shing Jea Island, and the Jade Sea. I was always partial to Luxons, and hardly sided with the Kurzicks. While the art was nice for Echovald, I loved the Jade Sea because of all the eye candy it held ( old ships stuck in the water, huge waves that were about to crash into things, and I think it was a squid stuck in the Jade in one of the maps ). I just thought it was a work of genius lol.

Can you imagine what the jumping puzzles in that area would be like? Imagine what the actual area could potentially be tbh, it’s alluring to think about. As such, the Tengu influence from the Dominion of the Four winds probably still around there somewhere (as the land USED to be theirs). I mean, does anyone else remember the whole headmaster stint? :P The temple itself has probably been built and destroyed over again- Orr rising from the depths probably affected it just as it LA and the rest of the Tarnished coast and the Sea of Sorrows.

Jumping puzzles in the Jade sea area would be either on islands or in underwater caves? If I am correct the jade sea was turning back into water right?

gz with the silk scraps.

A mastermind seldom attacks head on like scarlet. Who knows.

Bright.9160:

Oh goody, one of these again…

Don’t bother with it OP, the carebears don’t want people to see their Rabbid gear on their Rifle warrior, because people might steal their awesome build. Or they want to keep MF leeching.

I don’t care that much, since I don’t PUG, but I would have liked it back when I did PUG.

I’m all up for templates though, not only because it was so easy to load up, but also because you could use it to ping links, which is a pain now. GL giving someone your TS address, because the other guy is going to have to type it out.

Remember the bad things in gw that were equally stupid? UW groups where you had to show your 50 stones or gtfo. And people then bought them from other players, got in and failed.

Sobat.8650:

I think some of them are still sleeping.

For all I care they can stay in bed if the fights with zaithan was an indication.
Let them have human like avatars or something fun to fight. Imo dragons make very bad foes in a game.

Sucks man

I sometimes forget that not everyone can afford these things.

Hyper has a good idea, lower the health on the captain and make the other mobs just as “farmable” will make them kill and move on.

adamaknight.9237:

My opinion on the cutscenes?

Add a skip button, please.

Moar farming, must go back to farming….

So a player get lucky with a pre cursor drop, buys/gets all the things he needs and then you decide he is skilled?
Weird, try looking at he or she playing instead of the gear.

Vabbi needs more soldiers so go go

Do like me, buy yourself a nice 28 or 30 inch monitor and you wont even notice them. Well you will because they are still annoying but you know the saying.

imo you will be destroyed if you try to fight the mobs, maybe you can tag some of them in the lowest areas but most of the mobs hit kinda hard for lvl 12 thief or lvl 25 ranger.

naphack.9346:

simple fix: Degrade the Aetherblade champs to veterans. There, problem solved.

Yup, should be done asap.

On the other hand not that I think of it, if they do not spawn the champs, will these events even be possible without some large blobs everywhere.
I also feel that you need to do this event as early as you can, it might be empty after a week or so :/

I do not care too much about more classes or maybe even races. But rather a whole new part of the world to explore.
For me the living world is failing big time, but anet seems to be pretty stubbern to admit this. Or they just care about the gemstore sales like other people said.
Weird thing is that with an expansion you will get way more money and also gemstore sales :/

I was in some server, and I got the message they were attacking haratie hinterland, and they are attacking genderan field. Ok so where do I go now….. I was on genderan fields when the message appeared but no event, went to the (overflow) of hintari and by then it was probably too late.
So far this is not the event I was waiting for, it was more like the waiting event.

So tagging here during the event is not enough right? It’s just the end, even if she spawns on the other side of the map and there is no way you can get to her in time?

Limited yes, but they should be drops. So in the end all people have a chance at them. I do not like the fact you can craft legendaries, imo they should be drops only. And the fact they are legendary should be connected to either a specific boss, or an area. Higher chance to get it from either.

All the name plates are annoying me now i can see the people. So I turned that off. It’s nice to see LA and the players for a change

Unleashed.6195:

Hi, I just wanted to come and share my opinion so you could all realize that if you disagree you’re wrong.

You’re right.

aophts.9862:

Yep, nothing has changed, i wasted my vials, sips, tastes, great job Anet.

Read it, and this time read the whole post.

Hey we are being invaded you know.

Well what else do you want to do with the T5 and T6 drops? I think it’s good they are going to do some more with the crafting, by now most people would be master crafter, and if not they will be soon.

And cof was done because it was such a challenge right?

I think whole of Cantha and/or Elona needs to be a lvl 80 area. Even the endgame of this could be build around ascended items. It makes no sense to do hearts and stuff like that with you veteran char does it?

FoopOplo.7914:

Yeah, he doesn’t have a title under his name. Do ANet employees have to unlock titles too? :P

Think so, he needs some grinding before he can show off.

Nasher.6874:

Don’t know why your getting problems. I’m using a 2600k i7 and a 670gtx (lower spec than you) and the game runs just as smooth as it did before. Except now I can see people in towns more than 6 feet away, which is MUCH better.

But they do need to switch to 64bit, there is no reason to code for 32bit any more. 32bit PC hardware on went obsolete over half a decade ago.

Isnt the engine from more than half a decade ago

The old ones coloring are better. The new skins are nice, but with the old colors they would be better. imo the light blue color makes no sense for constellations..

45 minutes events, kitten . I could not even get into 1 event yesterday so I left to play a game that does work.
Too bad I liked the pavillion part, because the new enemies were pretty good imo.

Time to upgrade that PC from 2010?
For me the best part of this update.

You people actually managed to make me facepalm in real life. That’s quite an accomplishment, it really takes grand levels of ignorance for that.

Facepalm all you want. It’s not ignorance, I just do not care if he or you have some kittenty PC and want to play the best looking mmo around.

painterly cinematic all the way, I hope they will continue to add this instead of the old ways. From the first one added to the game to this, these are perfect.

I wonder what the motivation of the light blue color is. Is it just to make them a bit different from the gw1 version so people would not go like, ooooh you just copied them from gw1? I do think if they made the colour more darker blue so you can see the constellations they would be surerior to the gw1 weapons.

Time to upgrade that PC from 2010?
For me the best part of this update.

Now I have seen them they look like they are coloured wrong, what’s with the watery colour? Did the person who made these not even see the gw1 versions? Or he/she thought well lets make them look different iow worse.

XGhoul.7426:

Calm down forum warriors, the skins drop as random loot, you can buy them off TP if you choose to do so.

Source?

They are on the TP right now.

Way more than 10 mins on desolation overflow. nothing is happening. Besides lots of grumpy people.

Well I do like the staff, and the axe. I’m not sure what people are whining about gw1 weapons. Yes they were nice in gw1, they still are. Go play gw1 if you want to see those version. I will get me some of these..

World vs World. Eb jumping puzzle, the main cities. The best looking maps in the game. stuff like that.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

I’d tone down your expectations. I just finished reading the datamined dialog, don’t expect anything too unusual or spectacular.

But, but, Colin said it will be something great..

I doubt it’s your PC, my gaming buddy, and many of my guild have the same problems as you since yesterday.
I hope this does not give you a bad experience with the game, in my 7 months of playing this is the first time with these kind of problems. You just joined on a unfortunate time

Or if the patch of today is great you joined just in time

After talking to him or her, cant remember in the pavillion continue to kill mobs in the pavillion. Easiest way.
