Guild Wars 2

So I want my jade weapon for pvp and pve. I do not understand why they are one time, limited choice between a pve version or a pvp one. I understand the pvp gear and the way that that all works, but I am sure everyone is fine with the progression for rewards and such. However, why can’t the ticket weapons from events and the other skins such as back slot items and such be both pvp and pve. Like, once you purchase a ticket, or receive a back item for an achievement, why not have it as a pve skin and then it automatically shows up in your pvp gear bank also? I just do not know why you are making us choose. I feel as if it has a negative impact on doing both and you want to single out the forms of play. what’s wrong with both?

khani.4786:

Husband opened 3100 coffers by yesterday and another 500 this morning….nothing.

about 30 minipets and enough taffy to kill Abbadon.

He’s so disgusted with the drop rate that he’s not logging in for a while and downloaded RIFT. So yeah. Rare is one thing, next to impossible is another. Getting a ticket seems to be next to impossible. Disgusting.

yeah. not sure if this whole RNG plan is creating healthy competition. wonder how Anet responds to people leaving because of this insanity.

got a ticket after the first 65 i farmed. also got a holo wing set. sold the wings and bought coffers with the coin. somewhere around 600 more opened and haven’t gotten anything other than food and tonics.

So why is it that the skins (helms, wings, weapons) are all one time use, and that you need to choose between pvp and pve? I have 3 80’s and play pve, but over the past month I have been doing more pvp and tournaments. i’d like to not be limited so much. what’s the purpose in that? even for the free stuff like the achievement based skins rather than the weapon skins, it just does not make sense. rather annoying that I have to choose one or the other. It leaves a huge gap between the two forms of play.

i got the wings after killing 10 mobs in queensdale. a ton of people were getting them last night apprently because when I got mine I sold it on TP for 39g. a 16g drop between 4:30pm yesterday to 10:00pm is a headfirst plummet. just buy them from the tp

ridiculous. i spent a ton on the flame&frost chests and opened like 200 of them and got 2 tickets. i am not spending anything more. freakin stupid waste of money. no monetary value in it. this is a ploy to gain money. i’m not happy.

go watch Caed on twitchtv. he has been playing sword/dagger recently and shows his traits. it’s a good way to learn how to play it effectively also. if you search Caed it will show up with narcarsis. watch the previously recorded content for the past few days.

I would like to have the items that are acquired in event or just those that when being “used” open a window to choose between pvp and pve. I play both and have spent over 1k hours in pve and have now been spending my time in pvp. I would really like to be able to use the molten gear I have for pve in my pvp and the back items from the southsun events. and the items from the dragon bash event

guess I gotta stop swearing then :/

i did all the sample collection and i have the skrelit shell or whatever that tentacle thing is. i did those before the latest update. i did crab toss and got all of the titles for that and i hated it. it was really aggravating.

title says it. is this event fun? i have been playing pvp. i did the first set of achievements to get the back items since i first did pve and got 3 toons to 80. just wondering if the rest of the event is enjoyable even if i am not receiving any other unique gear.

ahhh. that’s why i haven’t been noticing it lol. i have been playing my thief and necro. been a while since i played my guardian much. thanks haha.

did they blue flame that dances above the weapon bar go away? i just haven’t been noticing it. maybe i’ve become so used to it that i havent thought about it but i was watching an old gw2 video and it was there and it got me thinking. anyone know when or if this happened?

someone a couple weeks ago said that there was a new map being released at some point. anyone have information on this?

i think it would be cool if there could be a new mechanic much like the town clothes, but a tab for swimming attire and that it will auto (choice in customization) change the appearance of your clothing when you go in water deep enough to swim in, either submerged or at surface. also for there to be a couple patterns per gender, per race, and that they are dye-able. Also if town clothes could be chosen in customization to be auto equiped when entering a city.

please floaties. ones with shark fins. and a water breather with shark fins. and please swimwear of different patterns and ability to dye

but they should each be their own server right? it’s not like im rendering their matches.

crab toss is lagging a ton for me. i have no idea why. what all is being processed during a match? i haven’t had an issue with moonwalking and stuttersteps in pvp so what’s the deal here?

kittening annoying. im sorry. but this is kittening annoying and less fun.

that’s kitten baamoink. we do, but if you hold the crab longer the hatchlings come after you, and 10 players come after you, and the karkas roll after you, and they roll too often in sequence of each other. needs updated in cooldowns.

not new to soutsun. im talking about crabtoss dude. dodging is fine, but with 3 in such a tight area and the possibility of them all gang banging you one right after another, plus the apparent singling out of the hatchlings, it’s freaking aggravating

too many karka’s in the crab toss. freakin annoying. sometimes they roll into you all 3 one right after another after you stand up. freakin annoying. please reduce to 2, or increase the cooldown on their roll

Shanks R Us.2489:

I like the idea of having to move ammo to use the treb.

dude! we used to play together haha! you’re still on my friends list

treb is annoying for both sides. please either make it similar to the cannon on capricorn in that you have to pick up ammo in order to use it or remove it from the rotation.

sweet thanks mate!

i have it checked as you asked. it has been that way. I have my xbox headset connected to a converter for my laptop and they are plugged into the mic and headset ports. when i test the speakers in the playback tab of the sound control panel, it plays through my headset. when i click test on the headset then it has a short click sound from the speakers and plays the test sound in the headset. should i try and do a support ticket for my laptop manufacturer or anet or vent?

i’ve done that. my headset is the default communication device, my speakers are the default audio device, and in ventrillo it is my external mic that is the selected communication device and the speakers are the output. I also did it in gw2 options but all 3 options play through my headset and not through the speakers. thanks for the help though

I am using Ventrillo and an xbox headset. I am trying to get the voice to output from the headset and the in game sounds to play through my built-in speaker. I have all the drivers installed and there is nothing unique about my sound card. can anyone give me pointers, or point me to some help outside this forum, or does anyone know how to rectify this? Thanks!

was fighting a ranger as an ele alongside another player on my team and he was down in the water and he had 19 stacks of bleed but his pet was still healing him regardless of it being down too and his health was increasing and he rallied no matter what we did. this should be looked at and adjusted.

So I’d like to have a tonic that turns you into a bonfire or campfire so you can situate yourself between your guildmates so they can dance around you. haha

i’d like a heavy class soon. what I’d like is a shaman type class.

Some of my guildmates are doing AC story and they are saying that in the fight against the lovers, the boulders are disappearing after being thrown at one or the other, most likely Vassar. Is this supposed to be happening now? Originally you could just continually throw a boulder at him and run up, pick it up, dodge his counterattack when he gets up from a knock-back, and re-throw. What’s up with this?

But your best bet would be jewelry. Tho still better to sell mats or hoard for legendary than to make exotic jewelry. Most would leave you in the red. Most viable money making system in game is either patience and long-term casual play with fractals frequenter, or an utter dungeon and fractals grind.

Neither. The economy is not centered around crafting. Your best bet is to just sell the materials once you get to 400 of whatever crafts you need for whatever legendary you want, as that and the needed materials for completing one, is what the economy is shaped around.

Auesis.7301:

1) Kaila Mistblade, final skin + weapons
2) Kyrie Emberheart, final skin + temporary weapon
3,4) Kristen Silverblood, nearly final skin + final weapons

pricey and time consuming characters you have there. no idea how you do that and maintain a life outside gw2. legendary

at this point i could care less for a legendary, as i’m only playing gw2 until the elder scrolls online releases, and if that does not have the things that I find enthralling in an mmo, i will probably just stop playing games unless they are really good. tired of how low quality most games are.

tp sucks mate. if it was an auction house, sure that would be great, but there is absolutely no need to hop on. the tp is pretty much dead through out the day and only comes more alive at night and during the weekends.

Ephemeris.6831:

Sorry, but this thread is really pathetic couldn’t help but laugh.

Have you even played other MMOs?

The amount of polish and content GW2 launched with easily beats games with 3 years under their belt. Calling it a paid beta, failure or a buggy mess is just hilarious.

Good riddance. One less whiner ruining the game for the rest of us who appreciate it. I’m sure it will be fun playing that perfect fantasy game inside your head for the upcoming months.

not many games have 3 years under their belt. Wow, EQ, EQ2, mayyybe Rift, SWG, and Lotro. All I’ve tried. All are essentially the same. The visuals I appreciate in GW2, and the combat is fun simply because of the dodge, and only fun for me on a thief because I’m constantly trying to get behind my opponent (pve or pvp) and stab them in the back. Fighting 1 mob isn’t enough. I pull every mob around me and fight them all. Only way to keep it interesting and difficult. Heck, I posted about a lvl scale issue in Fireheart where you are scaled at 63 with 69 mobs around, I could still kill those. all the good gear and cosmetically appealing gear requires a grind. Nothing that drops in the pve world gets you excited except if it’s a precourser, but that never happens. the economy in this game is stale as hell and the only fluctuations are caused by anets choices to make a rich ori vein a regular one, and increase the drop rate of heavy moldy bags and varied loot tables for orr mobs. There is no dependence upon others in the market, do it yourself. Crafting is bullkitten. Should have made level requirements for each stage of progression in crafting, and should have created branches in crafting ie, drake scale leatherworking, elemental tailoring, enhanced potion artificer, to choose from at maybe lvl 300 crafting and to make you unique and maybe increase community of players. i am finding i dont like a lot of things in the game, because of what i know from other games and what were the most fun for me. Just need a company to make a mix of mechanics and not try to just make 100% watered down their own.

im not going to dis-install it but I am finding it difficult to log back in and play. I was working on getting my legendary, of which I wanted 4 for various characters. But…i’ve completely lost interest in the economy of the game. Now that I can’t leave a character in Southsun and do the run from the rich ori to the camp south of it to gather important resources, how am I going to get 4 gift of metals? im tired of the grind for everything. The guild I’m in is going down the list of 28 players, which most everyone are family and extended family of some people I know at college. We are on number 2 and it’s a drain on all our resources. So i’ve been working towards it gradually between 3 80’s and working on a lvl 44 and 42. The heart quests are a grind. There are only a couple that I enjoyed. But those are just simple tasks that have nothing to do with your character. I am finding that I prefer the DE’s and actual quests that have me going from one thing to another and then ties together. But I dont think I can do map completion for 1 more character. And the crafting…oh I am tired of the crafting. Firstly it takes about 5 gold to level from 1-400 and to just get 4 characters you can have everything. And then leave crafting alone until you work for your legendary. Crafting is NOTHING in this game and has no value to the community or to the individual character. The leveling process of a character is nice in that it’s not too difficult to get to 80, but it’s possible to get to 80 with only 40% map completion. I’d say the level curve needs to be increased a bit and to add more diverse quest system. Leave the hearts, but add in quests of sorts. No idea how they should work. I enjoyed the quests in WoW that would take me cross continent and I’d have to search for a landmark to find something. I’ve sunk in 200$+ in GW2 and so they essentially have my subscription for 2years now, so I’m going to just take part in the story and not really do much else. Back to Skyrim for me. Fingers crossed for TESO. Hoping they don’t go the watered down route of an RPG as gw2.

In Fireheart Rise the level scaling scales you down to 63 in an area surrounded by 69s. it’s at the mouth of the narrow waterbed running along Cozen Desolation where it opens up to the lake-ish area. there are lava elementals that are lvl 69 there and you don’t scale up to appropriate level of 71 until further up, so there is the chance of death if too many attack you. Also a bit further up and onto the lava rocks the same thing happens with lava elementals and flame legion around.

looked like this only was about a 600range but used 4-5 in a row to get from node to node i couldnt even catch up with rtl so def a hack. seen this done twice in spvp this morning !

That’s not spvp. It’s WvW.

i know that genius…

This guardian is combo’ing Sword 2 ‘Flashing Blade’ and the Utility skill ’Judge’s Intervention’.

There is no “teleport hack”. You just need to broaden your understanding of what people are capable of in this game. You’ll get there.

Edit: I figured I should probably clarify – Both of those skills will teleport you their max distance without the target being in range, so it looks like they are just teleporting 600-900 range in front of them.

Also, Flashing Blade is only a 10 second cool down, thats why they do it so often.

that’s definitely not what’s happening there. that’s a bot most certainly. the skills you listed don’t have that range and also that’s the only movement made. no wasd movement, just the small jump and the large mob jump.

Narmakh.1860:

The CoF Shaman armour chest and shoulders dont work together if this is a glitch greatly appreciated if it is fixed if its not please still make it so the shoulders show :]

sniped

please implement not only the dc issue, but perhaps the ability to invite a new player into the fractal if someone leaves. And it would also be nice to not have it be 3 consecutive fractals. I don’t want to grind for another 3 levels when I’ve already done the 9 required, and more for my other 2 80’s.

I’m tired of people bailing. I’m really kitten because I’ve done 9 fractals on 1 character already and he is STILL only lvl 1 because each time someone dc’s or something comes up (1 time a mates wife went into labor, so that’s acceptable) but honestly, I am really tired of trying to level up in fractal difficulty only to have people leave when they finish their daily or monthly that they have already started before I have. The new system needs to come into affect soon, because I’m tired of dealing with this kitten.

please animate the chain to at least not be stalk straight when sheathed on your back. it looks a little silly

someone said it was a pvp armor. but will there be legendary pve armors coming eventually?

Someone in wvw was posting about a Mist Weaver Coat that is legendary status. There is no mention of it in the wiki but the third party data sources have them, though no information or comments about it. Anyone know the origins of this coat, and any others like it?

Aeranima.2853:

I want the weapons to be seperated from body during preview. Soem clothing hides the weps so preview is useless!

then take off the clothing that hides it

i did not want to try it at the time, simply because I didnt want to waste the money I put into my lvl 36 ele with the equipment I chose for her, whether they be lvl 80 items or lower. But some of the icons are the same for exotic items as with the lower level stuff and may be confused accidentally when salvaging. Such as the staff Melandru’s Gaze and a normal crude staff. At the time it was a blue rarity, so normally those do not have “do you want to do this” window popping up. So, is there one already for all transmuted items regardless of the level of rarity, or can there be one implemented?

sounds alright to me.
