Guild Wars 2

ok. so then things like that would not show up on combat log? that’s stupid. needs improving

it wasn’t. there was only a warrior on their team, no guardians. all possible warrior attacks that have knockback cause damage, so any knockback from him would be included in the log. but aren’t all abilities used against you in the combat log?

So I was using skyhammer and got knocked off. At the death screen I looked at the skills timeline and then in the combat log. The only things there were warrior main hand sword abilities. I have no idea what happened and the guy who did the attacks is not responding to my inquiries. Is this a bug or a new hack?

honestly I would like a much fancier blade for a rapier than the one linked as [&AgGzqQAA].

sure, but I don’t want a blade that’s wider than my body like this one and 90% of sword skins.

dude, copy the brackets and the text between them and paste them into chat on GW2. any chat works. and it will link a weapon called the Atherblade Sword. it’s a rapier. it is thin. it is long, but by no means wider than your body, unless you are literally a toothpick. But it isn’t flashy enough, not a sword for a “decorated swordsman.”

Yeah, the rapier is thin, I’m talking about every other sword in game. Most have extremely exaggerated wide blades. I don’t like that. A mesmer shouldn’t be wielding Cloud’s buster sword one handed.

You should look into the Mithril Sword then. It is just like the normal uncommon lower level swords but has a nicer metal sheen to it. I use it on my warrior. Also, look into the fractal sword. it looks nice and thin as well, and has a neat white trailing when you swing it or run with it drawn.

The common crafted swords look really crude and not elegant.

Fractal sword would be nice but that’s a random chance on top of a random chance. Random chance of dropping any skin (and a rare chance at that) and then random chance of dropping the skin you want. It’s the worst of both worlds.

did you even go onto the TP and preview it? it has a different texture. the swords themselves are what you’d expect them to look like in real life as a knight’s sword.

thoroughly upset. it looks just like the charr/gear blade. I was really looking forward to that rapier after seeing a video earlier this morning of some data-mined skins. idk, now I don’t really care for those skins well, back to getting the fractal sword for my musketeer look :/

Noviere.7309:

I need the rapier.

I. Neeeeeeeeeed. It.

funnily enough I had just expressed my sadness about there not being a rapier skin a couple days ago on map chat. But seeing this, I am quite happy! going to sex change my thief, get the t1 human medium set minus the mask, and get that sword!

If players pick the Thaumanova Reactor. That affects both Space and TIME. Then their would be a possibility the Fall of Abaddon would still come into being.

It also MAY allow the gods to come through some rip it time, to reappear it GW2

You are however forgetting that both the Fractals are stuff that have ALREADY HAPPENED, so any effects would have already happened.

No, because their might be pockets of unstable time. Creating parallel realities for the Gods to enter.

The Fractals are also things that have not yet happened. The crazed asuran one is a possible future for Rata Sum

Pixelpumpkin.4608:

I would like to add that the Thaumanova reactor’s history absolutely needs to be researched – all of us still have to clean up the chaotic energy every single day. Research is highly relevant and valuable, if ever we hope to get rid of the chaotic distortions threatening Metrica Province once and for all!

yeah, really. they could take that abysmal-fire-elemental meta-event away and make a new meta event in another location on the map.

I’d link the page, but then a mod will just move this topic to the Links-ville subforum and there would then be no discussion about it on the forums. MMORPG.com has a new article on GW2 about an interview with Colin Johanson about the plan for 2013. Head on over there and read it. I will paste most of the http but you’ll have to piece it together so it doesn’t come up as a links-ville topic Share your enthusiasm, concerns, hopes, and so forth!

what? did they add that or are you wanting them to provide it? i’d hate that idea.

get a thief and do it. there are videos on youtube showing ways to go through fully stealthed. or have a mesmer friend try to do it and port you up there, or something to that effect. there are ways to combat the griefing.

It’s probably a good thing that a couple of the catchers are a bit more subdued. I’ve been running the Wind Catcher for the last day, and while it was neat at first, I’m starting to feel a bit visually fatigued.

I agree, I’m glad they are different varieties of how strong the animations are.

Not to mention I made this potential disaster to my eyes (all these skins I get gotta go somewhere right? :x):

(There’s a Wind Catcher there, I just suck at timing)

lol, i am going to eventually have the shoulders, gloves, and the wind catcher on my ele, so i’ll be even more spectacularly lit. i just love the swirling wind around her.

also, no one commented on my joke :’(

well I’m glad they have unlimited uses. I was pushing for them to make the event weapon skins have unlimited uses, or just 1 pvp and 1 pve version from 1 ticket, so this being unlimited uses is refreshing. I have 5500 achievement points, and have been playing since launch. I have no desire for more limitations.

So the wind catcher has a much better and bigger animation and particle effect. More so than the other two. Is it possible to improve the other two to have a stronger effect similar to that of the wind catcher? It just makes people look like their power level is higher than 9000.

open on anyone’s server currently?

He also gives some good ideas about new ways to introduce the stories. The pre-launch premier All-Things-Guild-Wars-2 Youtuber still has that great insight that brought such a large community of fans and enthusiasts together.

not gonna happen. it was that way at beta, and there was an annoying as hell dye extraction system. also, rare dyes are too high in market value. making them account bound would lower that value. also those who have multiple characters with sets of the same dyes would not be too thrilled, unless those dyes were returned in mail.

The dyes are all organized in tiers. They could make it so all, but the top 1 or 2 rarest tiers are account bound.

that could work.

lol. sure. I didn’t even think about that. sorry :/

I’d like that armor. It’s pretty sick and pretty hot. Looks ferocious. So, maybe with a shaman based class, bring this armor along with it? Pwease?

So I find that we don’t have many options in the personal story except for which path you want to take when you come to a crossroad. But as for employing pathos, there could have been more work, and there can be for future personal story add-ons.
I just finished the Personal Story act The Steel Tide, where Sam, Tactician Beirne, dies saving Debora. He had emotion, and she had emotion. But clearly, the big baddie was not a problem for me and I could have easily finished him off and saved both Debora and Sam, and even Tegwen when she died. Why not improve these stories and add underlying paths based upon what we achieve, what we say, and give us the ability to really be the hero. Not just the overarching plot hero, but the hero who says, “Hey, I like these people, and if this world were real, I would want to save them.” or those who want to see the world burn, you can do what you want. But as for myself, when Apatia died, I was like, "NOOOOO!!! APATIA!! YOU WERE GOING TO BE MY GIRL!!!". So yeah, employ more heroism possibilities, lessen the linear paths and the requirement for everyone to die, and play more with our inherent emotions, whether they be good or bad.

ditto. kinda annoying.

Nah it’s mostly l2p. Any Thief that can kill you really easily can also go down really easily as most Thieves in WvW run full zerker with the game’s lowest health and bad defense. Just learn how to counter them, which isn’t that hard.

I don’t understand how people can say this when thieves can have 2 evasion skills and 2 dodges whenever they come out of stealth. Unless you’ve loaded up on undodgeable skills (laughable, there are barely any to speak of), they are always going to evade enough damage to get back in to stealth relatively unharmed. And there is nothing you can do from there except wait to do the exact same thing again, and watch them stealth away again. It’s a vicious cycle which completely destroys all counterplay, not to mention fun.

then stop running around alone. or just standing around. Thieves, Warriors, and Elementalists have the highest mobility. Maybe a DD ele has the highest, then the thief, and lastly the warrior, but you can still move away fast enough. You must be doing something that puts yourself at a distinct disadvantage. I’ve never found this to be a problem, but then again, I may just be playing a different build than you. I only have 13k health.

What is the logic behind this balance? I’ve been repeatedly killed by thieves in 2, yes count them TWO hits in WvW tonight. What is the logic behind giving a class the ability to immobilize me, then 2-shot me, all in the span of less than one second, from stealth. I’m running full level 80 exotic soldier (PVT) gear, 21k hp.

He’s using a glass canon build. Dodge his canon ball and hit his canon with a toothpick.

made me laugh harder than anything else today. Thank you good sir

I was running through an area in Caledon Forest on my way to the vista west of the Caer Astorea Waypoint and saw a rock I wanted to climb up to. So I found my way up by jumping off a cliff onto a lower root. But…unfortunately when I jumped to get up a ledge, I fell through :/ I would compile a database of images and locations for places that are reachable but are not “in the world.”

Pretty… err…. shapely, imo.

yeah, that’s not misleading. You’re in the Mists. That armor isn’t a part of PvE atm.

My warrior, Níniel Úrin.

I realize that these changes will be coming soon enough, but in the Blog Post, https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/new-account-achievement-rewards-incoming/, it does not specify about how the skins will work. As I have 9 characters, I do not want to have to continue to choose between the characters and who gets the shinnies. Can someone clarify if these skins will be one time use and transmutation thereafter, or will they be available for recurring use as the HoM skins?

because that would reduce the game economy even more than it already is. the economy in gw2 is more like a monarchy or a communist. anet took away the rich ori vein in southsun, so no one goes there anymore and the price in ori rose. putting it there in the first place lowered the price. anet is king essentially. and god. lol. which makes sense since they are the creators of this universe and they are the lifeforce of the game. we are the blood haha. ok, enough going on a tangent. every item on the TP is meant to drive the economy. Take something away, and you change the economy. good or bad, it just reduces player freedom. go save up coin, or go get karma temple gear.

what rank are you?

Frank.8092:

Please tell me what you think
Almost everyone makes an assassin like thief so i decided to make mine kind of like a rogue. Don’t mind the pants and boots. i still need to change them

i like the pants. it goes well with the jacket. i can’t see the boots, so idk how they look with the rest. what gear is that?

human t3 helm
human t3 gauntlets
HoW epaulets
HoW breastplate
HoW greaves
HoW boots

my problem with PvP is that ther eis no gear progression and you cant show up your gear as a way of “skills” or “time spent”. Nobody even cares about gear there, there is nothing to brag about, and nothing that can tell you you are “progressing”. On top of that you have to decide if your wings are PvE or PvP. PvE where most of the action happens, or PvP where people go to test the different builds since doing it on the actual PvE is near impossible due to money and time gated issues, also fastest way for the daily.

Rank and Titles, if you’re talking about gear in terms of appearance progression then yeah, that kinda doesn’t exist since you can get all the dungeon gear in PvP with tourney tokens and other stuff.

This is true, and the genre of gears you can get in PvP is pretty limited unless you can grind all the long way to rank 20 or above.
The progression/effort-spent ratio is, at the moment, not reasonable in PvP.

no i dont think it’s reasonable either. But it is attainable without having to grind. I would spend maybe a couple hours every other day playing, do some tournaments with the mates, and do some sPvP. overall over a months time of doing that, I reached rank 29. Once Dragon Bash released, I went back into PvE. I have 5 characters and t3 cultural on all 5, and I have spent a lot of time in PvE. The only thing I found to be a grind was when I wakittenting almost every meta event on 3 of those characters everyday for 2 weeks. was too much time, too annoying, and in the end I just said screw it, I have cool enough weapon skins and I dont need a legendary. But as the post indicates, I want to have my jade and molten weapons, the back items, and any skins that release in the future, aside from gem store acquired items, be pvp set and pve set for each skin, and to not continue limiting us in those respects for gear and customization for pvp and pve. Maybe the rank points need adjusting, but as for me in those regards, I am fine with how they are. I’m in no hurry.

in regards to the ranger/necromancer companion abilities, I’m more interested in giving my ranger a reason to grow attached to a certain pet. in WoW, i had the same pet white/black striped tiger King Banglagash for 4 years. I pretty much grew attached to it in RP aspects and fed it all the time, would always have it out and just loved running around on my black/white mount with him running behind me. I called him Murtagh and my character was called Aryia. He was huge by the time I quit. I want something like that. Give me a dire wolf that grows to be the height of my stomach on my gargantuan charr. Or whose head would be able to rest on my human girls bosom. Or tower over the annoying Asuras

precisely what I want. Anything that I receive via achievement or event I’d like to be available in the HoM just as the stuff from gw1 being in my HoM. Also, I’d like to have the ability to start collecting and displaying things in the HoM. I think the last time I went there was at the start of the game.

Well, maybe not in the HoM. There are people that don’t have a HoM after all. Maybe some sort of merchant in your home instance or something though.

I’m pretty sure you can still go to HoM. There is a merchant in the pirates cave in LA that sells a portal stone to HoM. They may not have the items from GW1, but I’m pretty sure they can still go there. The home instance is boring anyways. I don’t think I ever went back after my personal story. I still remember back in the BWE where you had a merchant there who would turn your dye seeds or whatever they were into an actual dye, and it would take 24hrs to do that conversion per dye unless you paid him with a gem store item. That was…tedious.

It’s not about a cosmetic gear progression for pvp. That is already in the game. Certain gear, particularly cultural gear, require you to be higher than rank 80 i believe. So gear progression in respects to ranks and cosmetics or sets achieved therein already exists. the thread is about how those who do pvp and pve to some extent, or those who are doing purely pvp and see a new skin from pve and go work to get it, such as the jade weapons, may end up enjoying pve and then need to decide on the skin for pvp or pve. I say, change it so that the skins attained through completing achievements or acts in events should not be a choice between pvp and pve, and that for the 1 ticket you have, you get your weapon skin and you automatically get it in your pvp locker and in your pve inventory. whereas the skins attained through gems should still require you to decide between a pvp version or a pve version.

seriously, I’ve opened over 2000 coffers and I have 5 tickets. I’d like to be able to have 5 dragon weapons for pve and 5 for pvp. Thanks Anet

Harbard, what’s 15 char?

that does not reduce the validity of my complaint. I, and many others, do not just PvE and then do PvP to test out builds. I have 3 80s and 2 50s, and I play both forms of the game on and off. I do not want to have to be limited in my selections for gear in PvP outside of the rank progression. Yes, the gear does not ultimately matter because the stats available for a player is equal regardless of the aesthetics. However, I have t3 cultural for those 5 characters in PvE, and I am gradually getting up in rank for PvP. But, what I get through the events and completing achievements should not be so freaking limiting. I want skins for my characters for both pvp and pve. I do not care about what is already a part of the ranking system for pvp, but this needs to change. I won’t be using any new skins unless it does.

Who’s with me? No more choosing between pve or pvp skins. why put an unnecessary divide between pve and pvp? stop making it where skins we get we double click and have to choose between the two sets. give us 1 skin reward or exchange for tickets or purchased from the gem store for both pve and pvp versions simultaneously. this is ridiculous. i haven’t even used the one ticket I got for jade weapons because I don’t want to choose. I play both pvp and pve. there is no reason I need to choose between the two for the gear I acquire through grind or time. no idea why this hasn’t been changed already, or been this way from the outset.

topic says it all. please allow us to exchange X amount of taffy for 1 ticket. Also please make tickets exchange for 1 skin, but comes in pvp and pve versions and not have to pick between the two.

Please change the way skin uses work between PvP and PvE. I’d like to gain 1 ticket, buy 1 skin, and get both a pve version and pvp version from that single ticket. I play both parts of the game and there is nothing that inhibits your ability to make this happen. Nothing about game economy. It only stonewalls us who play the entirety of your game. Please change this because I won’t be using any of the new tickets until it does change.

which is what I mean, but I guess I was trying to use too many words to explain that haha. I have 1 dragon ticket in my inventory. I have no plan to use it unless this happens. I will not choose between the two, since I have already played 1.2k hours since launch and have spent maybe 1/5 in pvp and the rest in pve. I have 3 80’s, 53, and a 51 and I have no wish to make a legendary since it’s a grind and has no monetary value. I really like these weapons, but if I have to waste one ticket for pvp and get to a point where I want to do pve for the next month and not have that skin I spent a lot of time and gold on, then that is frakin stupid. I’m getting close to just moving on to a break from video games until the PS4 releases. I was really excited about gw2 for two years before launch but now I’m not sure it has become the game for me. Oh well.

please make the weapons skins a one time use but come automatically in both pve and pvp forms so that we don’t have to choose between pvp and pve. some of us actually do both. i have been holding onto my 1 ticket so far in the hopes that this will change. won’t use it until it does. I won’t choose between the two because I already have with 2 molten alliance tokens and regret it. Please, if you are going to keep the ridiculous RNG as it is, then at least do this.

no one cares about this? this is seriously annoying. or do not many people do both pvp and pve?
