Guild Wars 2

The current ls in the gem store is in maps that come with the core game, not HoT. They never said they would remove it from the gem store or that is was limited time.

Because of this, I would agree with Donari, the current LS should still be available to everyone with core game after HoT is released. It would be extremely dumb if they changed that, and would kitten off A LOT of players that already paid for it. They already kittened off the majority of the community with the initial packages/pricing…. I really doubt even if turning LS off was in their plans that they would still go through with discontinuing it.

So can shadow trap not be evaded or is it a bug? I was in a match with a thief using it and I would evade the trap (they set it in same spot every time) it would say evade on my screen, but I would still become marked because they would teleport to me.

I get that SOME people would complain about this…. but honestly, who ever uses those skins? I literally see a HoM skin like once a week and I play a lot. Further, I can’t believe that all of these ppl complaining JUST got gw1 titles to get stuff in HoM. It seems more possible these are ppl that have had access and just didn’t care to get the skins in the MONTHS we’ve had the wardrobe. Which I did btw…. because I like them. This just seems like another complain because there’s nothing better to do scenario. But, even that goes on Anet because they should be releasing content that might distract people from dumb stuff like this. Which HoT clearly isn’t doing. It seems like the development of HoT has everyone more mad about different things than I’ve ever seen this community.

I hope they won’t be congratulating themselves for sorting out what they should never have broken in the first place.

That implies a deliberate break. It was unforeseen, so whilst in an ideal world it shouldn’t have broken, it was clearly unavoidable

Unavoidable? Because testing is so unheard of.

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

Since I have an excel document for character tracking (it’s huge, you don’t even want to know what all is in it), I opted to use /age to get the exact date I made each character (now() – #days old) and recorded their birth date in the excel.

I have gone one step further since that point, and stuck each character’s birthday into my google “birthday” calendar (yes, I have google cal dedicated to birthdays – family, pets, friends, and now game characters lol). And that does message me.

This is a perfect example of why having in game notifications would be good. Players shouldn’t have to go through all this trouble lol. A Google calendar?! Really? That’s dedication.

shaquinna.2869:

Perhaps they can add the exact date you created your character to the log in screen.

If you select the character you want to log into you can see the date on which it is created. That way you can easily see if you’ve had your birthday or when it’s comming up.

They already have the data for it they just have to show it to us

This is another good solution! thnx!

Hello!

This is just a suggestion for a feature I think would be useful. I think it would be great to have some kind of notification when a character has a birthday. Right now, the only way to tell if a character has had a birthday is if we log in on that character and check the mail. It would be nice if at the character select screen it showed when a character has hit their birthday. Or even (I assume) an easier solution would be to send mail to the first character you log in as to let them know “x character has had their birthday! Go log in to get their rewards!”

I know, HoT is being developed and the whole team is over doing that and no one can be pulled away right now. That’s cool. But, if this sounds like a good idea to you, please put a note somewhere

Anyone know how this is going to work? Will we be able to merge them all into one chat? If so will there be anything to differentiate the specific guild for the person that typed a message? Meaning, can we put them all in say, main chat? Then with them all in the same place, will they all still just be gold names or will they be dif colors for each guild? Or will the guild tag be in the chat, depending on which guild they posted the message through?

Yes. Lets break one of the few mechanics that ranger does well, with their long lasting water field, so they will be even more unwanted. Not a ranger, but I can at least acknowledge them.

I honestly can’t even understand why anyone would complain about this. Unless they’re a pug wvw player that is always losing to organized groups.

Darknicrofia.2604:

the fields are obvious enough to recognize to anyone that has paid enough attention and has played GW2 for more than a month, don’t need to waste voiceover work for it.

Oh how I wish this was true…

The amount of people I’ve met who have readily admitted they don’t know how combo fields work is rather disappointing. While I think this game has tried to oversimplify in a lot of areas, this is one area where I wish they would put in some tutorials.

Edit: What might be an interesting, but subtle change would to have some kind of highlight on screen to indicate what field your combo finishers would trigger on, if you are in one. A hue around the endurance bar could be subtle, but helpful. I’d like it so when someone overlaps fields I’d know which I’m actually about to blast.

The highlighting would be the best option imo. The reason this would be best is because someone can drop down one field then someone else might drop another and now you don’t know which will be activated when you blast.

I’d also like to point out combo fields are bugged. They dont always show on a screen and only show a gold outline animation. 90% of the time I only know when to use a blast because I recognize the character animation for the skills that cause a field I would blast.

While we’re on this topic, why not have the stats stay visible except maybe the Finisher tab…. or at the very least visible when no pane is selected. The space on the right where the stats are when the equipment pane is open isn’t used on any of the other panes…. Would be nice to be able to check my stats without having to click on equipment.

They’ve already stated ALL of their staff is on HoT . They probably did pre purchase so early so people will buy it while still hyped, which will bring them back (when xpac releases) after they leave from total boredom.

This is about SAB, but in the second paragraph Collin explains:
“We’re all focused on expansion – both the announced details, and the un-announced details and simply can’t peel anyone off a team to work on it right now without it effecting expac. . . simply put our focus right now is on making the expansion amazing”

TwoGhosts.6790:

Just ignore them (and block them if their attitude stinks), and play the way you wanna play; do what you wanna do; you’ve every right. That’s the MO of this MMO.

If they wanna fail, they can fail next time, maybe… unless another hero should happen along and spoil their little fail-train. Perhaps, if they ask nicely, people might go along with their request. If not, so what.

Have fun, and don’t let others spoil it.

Hi there! You must not do these events often. If you did, you would know that trolls target these all the time because they can make the event complete and reset its timer; making EVERYONE else in the area upset. Again, this happens all the time. I can’t stress that enough. Because of this, people get mad instantly when they see someone trying to complete it. Now, this is how I interpret your reply. Which by the way sounds a lot like what most of the trolls would say.

“Have fun, and don’t let others spoil it. "
- Have fun, spoil everyone else’s.

The OP even stated they didn’t have a problem with letting the event fail, just with the way the person asked. Why encourage them to ruin everyone else’s fun?

Get ready to be merged into a megathread so they don’t have to see this over and over.

For the record, I’m with you though. I paid for the infinite continue coin and was totally scammed. They don’t care though.

So what do all those naysayers have to say now that the devs has said that was never their intention.

I say that ArenaNet has no consistent vision and those comments are laughable.

This is awkward…. you reported me earlier lol. Anyway, I didn’t hunt you down on the forums but I happened across this since it is still at the top.

I agree completely with what you’re saying. It’s like every few months they’re saying something completely different….. The reason I never bother watching their PoI unless it’s directly before an update will be live.

This needs to happen anet.

Wryscher.1432:

DeWolfe.2174:

All the thieves thinking we’re talking about them. Sorry, most of us are talking about Mesmer’s abusing stealth now.

I thought I was the only one confused by so many of these replies.
Thieves are mostly a joke now, why does everyone think this thread is about them?

Most now are so glassy if you can avoid any of the first burst and pop them once, they scurry off to hide.

No, mesmers are the true stealth overlords now. Burst, survivability, and stealth. all in one fabulous pink and purple package.

Now I’m confused because the title and the content in the OP is about stealth in general which affects thief just as much as mesmer.

If mesmer is the problem why not start a new thread, or comment on the many others that are already created, to discuss this? Oh, like this one which is also created by OP https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Proposal-to-mesmer-mechanic-change

Also, go to another post from OP and it is even more clear than it already was they want thief nerfed as well. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Tired-of-one-combo-burst/first#post5273934

I got mine to drop from a Warg in Guilty Tears, Timberline Falls. This was after a couple thousand hours of game play and I have yet to get another drop… at over 4k hours total now.

I’d like to say it is a ghostly version of the Golden Vanity (poi right there) Wiki link is here http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Wreck_of_the_Golden_Vanity. The reason I made this connection is because an event occurs on the docs just east of the ship, before this event occurs the waters around the ship become rapid like. This event is about exploring the wreck of the Golden Vanity, wiki link for npc is http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Help_Explorer_Laci_find_an_Orrian_power_orb_in_the_wreck_of_the_Golden_Vanity.

It would make sense that this ship in particular has a ghostly echo, because it has an orrian power orb (not sure what it is except powerful energy of some type) in the wreckage.

This is just my speculation.

The hero challenge in Spider Nest Cavern (Diessa Plateau) does not display on the map, on any of the levels you can select. It also does not show up on the mini map even when in range.

idk if this is technically a “bug”, but I thought this is the best place to put this.

The heart quest “Assist the Ash Legion” at Incendio Templum in Diessa Plateau takes forever to complete if the portal to Rhendak is open (which is most of the time).

I honestly thought this would have been fixed by now, but it hasn’t. Please add something to do when the ash legion has control of the area or add more enemy spawns. Anything to progress the heart faster than we currently can.

I’ve seen some explicitly Christian guilds advertising in game. WWJD, for one. I have to assume they’re pro-heterosexual. Nice try, tho.

This guild denied my membership when I explained I’m gay. I thought, better tell them now then it come up some time down the road and I get kicked after I’m invested in a guild.

Please anet, if any of you actually stumble on this… do not do it.

Those npcs at dr bank drive me insane too, thats why i wanted to post this in hopes they’ll get rid of the ones in LA before its too late.

There are NPCs that wander into the mystic forge in LA on their own. Drives me crazy when I’m using the forge and suddenly its not working anymore because an npc wandered in and when I click ’’f’’ it’s making me talk to npc and not interact with forge. Plz plz remove these npcs.

Just amazing. I typed up this long message but then realized it was probably all said already. I will say though, my favorite part is there are hints of every race all over the city now unlike before where it was all human architecture.

ty for my now fav city in GW2!!

MonoSodiumGlutamate.4217:

92 pages later still no news from anet…….Ima make a book out of this thread Pre-purchase SOON!

Do it before their response so you can write a sequel.

The sequel should only have 1 page, with just the official response. Then charge everyone the same amount BUT include the first book for free to everyone who didn’t purchase it…. but first make sure to tell everyone the first book is required in order to buy the second.

Super duper so obvious simple solution it will BLOW YOUR MIND.

The current price/bundle is backwards. As it is now, current players (not even just vets) are getting the short end and are rightly upset. Most players would be happy with an extra character slot for the $50, and I’m willing to bet the ones that are asking for even more than that would end up settling because they wouldn’t have enough backing to keep fighting.

That being said, here is my proposal.
$50 includes GW2 HoT + 1 character slot.
GW core game price dropped to $10.

With this, current players are happy and Arena Net loses no money. In the long run they could possibly be making more money this way because you can’t farm gold to get a core game purchase like you can with a character slot. And I highly doubt people will complain about paying $10 for the core game. Some will QQ (there’s always some) because they didn’t purchase before the change, but they would still buy and get over it pretty quickly.

This link shows an anet employee response on a different thread about why accounts were banned that used WTFast.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/Banned-for-gold-selling-what-the-hell/first#post4829933

Heres a link to a post on reddit where people have already discussed this.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2x5x9y/apparantly_alot_of_gw2_players_just_got_banned_by/

Basically, they did not want to ban innocent players that were using WTFast, but with their current system on banning gold sellers it happened and now they are “working on it” like so many other things. I don’t have lag issues so I do not have to worry about it, but I personally would not use WTFast… however, u can read over those links and make up your own mind. I doubt you will get an anet response on this since their stance is supposedly ok with using WTFast but there are issues with the gold selling ban system so there is still a risk.

Honestly, this kittenes me off too. I have 14 toons and have them all lvl 80 with most skills and traits unlocked. Now ALL of that was for nothing and what’s going to happen in another 3 years? Are they going to have another reset and make everyone who already did this twice now have to do it again in some “cool” new way?

That’s my biggest concern…. If they do this now, are they going to do it in the future? Is this what they’re going to do when a large chunk of the player base is bored and moves on to other games? Throw the game on a 75% sale then expect the few old players that are still around to redo everything? Hey look! “New” stuff to do! Have fun guys!

Edit: I’m mostly PvE. I only PvP when they have call of the mists active and never ever wvw anymore. Once a month in wvw tops. I can’t even imagine how angry pvp and wvw players must be.

I agree with this completely! I have all bag slots unlocked on my main and 18-20 slot bags on each slot….. Yet it still fills up because I have stuff from Silverwastes and dry top + other stuff I keep on my toon like nourishment and food and weapons and armor with dif stats.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

That’s about it. Check the various messages and find the oldest one.

That sucks, but thanks for the answer.

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know if there is a way to check how old a guild is, hopefully in a date format?

I know of one method, which is to scroll through the History tab in the guild and go off the oldest GMotD (if that was posted the day the guild was created.)

I’m just wondering if there is another way to do this which will accurately give the actual date the guild was created? It seems like a feature that should be there already and I’m just missing it.

I’m offended because some else is offended and I want to feel relevant stand up for the little guy kittenit!

I just want to post here, to have another person showing how upset they are over not having sab for soooo long. On the off chance it matters; although anet is clearly showing they don’t care about their players anymore.

I personally do not care if they made new worlds for sab or not. I would just like to have w1 and w2 back for a little while. I don’t even know if having it back permanently would be the best, people get over permanent content quick in this game. Still, why wont you bring back world 1 and world 2? At the very least, why aren’t you commenting at all? Is it really because you think your answer wouldn’t be satisfactory for the people posting? Honestly, any type of communication would be better than none at this point.

I also think it was messed up to have people pay for infinite coins for something they haven’t been able to access for the past 2 years. The people (myself included) who purchased one should get a refund or some type of gift. >.<# Yes, they were used, but not nearly as much as we believed it would be when justifying the purchase.

Edit: I also think it was really low to bring the minis back knowing exactly how players would perceive that.

Hope this is the correct place to drop this issue.

There are two NPCs in Twin Sisters Crossing, Blazeridge Steppes. They are just south / se of the town. They are both clearly male characters however their dialogues when you talk to them say “she” “she’ll” “Her” when they are talking about the other.

Maybe the charr is meant to be female but sounds like a male due to the voice bug? idk, but either way the charr’s dialogue should def say he not she.

I thought the beta was great for a stress test.

Sure, there wasn’t a lot to do, but I’m glad I got to try it

I rolled thief at first (hoping we would be able to see what the specializations were).

I would like to say that I find the mastery interface a little confusing. I put one point in the mushroom one and could not use the mushroom pads to jump. Then I couldn’t put any more points into it even though I had 3 more mastery points. However, I was able to (very quickly i’d add) level it up through events.

My input for this is a) make the interface more straight forward and b) maybe make it harder to level up in it since that seemed too easy today. Although this could have been easy because its just a quick test idk, or maybe it gets exponentially harder as you progress.

Also, the Wyvern wasn’t as difficult as I expected. That was talked up a lot and I was nervous going into that fight, but everyone killed it way easy.

I didnt have any crash or fps related issues. Everything ran smooth with full graphics, except post processing because that bothers me – in the rest of the game, not HoT, didnt even try post processing in hot.

Everything else I really liked! I like the idea of the ‘adventures’ that popped up when we completed events. I didn’t get past a score of 60 today but it was still fun! I also really liked the art/design and being able to find new allies and new enemies so early into it! I did try revenant and I’ve read a lot of concerns from others but I think its too early to comment on that.

Thanks for letting us try it!!

I dont like 99.9% of the community. It’s at the point where if i’m in a pug group I will not talk to the other players.

I also hate it when others think they know my profession better than me and tell me to bring a certain skill for something before we even try it. I get it if we go in and try and we wipe and I didn’t have the skill; but MOST of the time I already had the skill they were requesting loaded. I’ll then swap the skill out just because; don’t tell me how to live my life. Especially if you have less AP than I have.

You don’t even have to wiki what armor looks like anymore. Depending on when you made your toon (if this doesn’t apply to OP it would still apply to future players) you could have used the wardrobe system in game to see what armors will look like.

Less arguments, more listening. Do it and you will see.

luls back at you.

Kosai, hope you get your character fixed. Have you tried submitting a support ticket? In my experienced, other players have no clue what to do and are rude half the time. The quoted comment case in point.

I HIGHLY doubt they will do an April fools trick with this. Every year after the GW2 announcement years ago everyone thought they would do April fools joke about it and they never did. The years passed until a lot of ppl thought the entire GW2 announcement was a joke and wasn’t real. They would probably get a lot of kittens kittening for real if they made a joke about it. People spending their life savings on gems to find out its not really released then sue anet because they cant pay their rent. etc etc.

Has anyone thought about the possibility of a race of chronomancers (time masters)? Many people here are arguing this could be Mursaat, could be the Seers, or it could also be Margs/forgotten(What??!). Even though it doesn’t look like any of these exactly. Yes, the differences are big enough to easily argue against any of these.

However, concept art for chronomances was released a long time ago when they were talking about the scrapped Guild Wars campaign Utopia. Images found here http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/File:%22Chronomancer%22_concept_art_4.jpg
and here
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/File:%22Chronomancer%22_concept_art_3.jpg

While they do not look 100% like what is in the video, they do look similar and remember this was CONCEPT art made years ago, with other versions of what a chronomancer could have looked like on other pages. Also note that @ about 1:28 on the video there is a character casting a spell that has an animation with a clock. We already know we will learn new skills from the other races in HoT so they could be connected. One other comparison I want to mention, although could be totally coincidence, Guild Wars Utopia was supposed to have a very heavy Aztec theme much like the area the new allies are found in.

I’m not saying it def is a new race of chronomancers, i’m kinda on #teamMursaat, just wanted to see what everyone else thinks since it hasn’t even been mentioned yet.

The current show bags option I see is really…. poor. I never use show bags because it adds a lot more space than it needs to in my opinion. It creates a new row before each bag to give the name of the bag and has a hide bag option.

I use bags that keep my inventory tidy like the craftman’s bag, the oiled pack, equipment boxes, and an invisible pack. It would be really nice to have an indication of where these bags start and end, but the current design isn’t awesome for those that don’t need to see the name of the bag or a hide option.

Could you add in a feature to highlight the bags, adding a border around each bag + a little margin? No name of the bag or special row above it, just a simple border + padding. That would be really helpful, maybe with a different color depending on the bag type.

Hi everyone,

To start this off I want to say I am looking for officers as well as general members.

This guild is brand new and looking for players of all skill level. However, in the end I would like to have players that know what they are doing and are willing to teach the new people (who must also be willing to listen.)

The reason I made this guild is because I hate having to pug everything, even when I’m in a guild. I’ve noticed many guilds will have large numbers but only a few that are present and active in the guild chat. My goal with this guild is to make a fun place where everyone will feel welcome to become involved in the chat and create parties for anything such as pvp, dungeons, holiday events (lab for example), general farming, and doing larger raids such as FgS train.

If you’re are looking for somewhere such as this, comment here or message me in game @ brently.7946. If you’re an experienced player please let me know as I’m looking for officers.

Pugmanding. It isn’t always the best situation. Sometimes its great, everyone on your map knows what they’re doing and things run smoothly. Other times you get pugs that have no clue what they are doing so you have to type a lot to explain what to do before a big fight. Then during this big fight you very well may have to shout commands so people know when to do certain things like reflects or boon ripping (viscount/lich for a couple examples.) Suddenly: suppression hits. You cannot enter ANY information at all you cannot even ping a skill.

What can really be done about this? If we get rid of suppression for commanders that will lead to chat spamming since too many people have tags, most of which do not even pugmand. We could make it so squad leaders aren’t suppressed in their squad chat, or is this already a feature? I don’t know because no one joins a squad. Even if they did, how would a pugmander keep track of who is still on their map and who has moved on? No, squad leading is not the option.

Here is my proposal, create an option each player can select to not suppress individual players in their individual chat. Oh hey, there’s a commander tag on this map and he’s doing a good job, i don’t want to miss out on information he has. OMG I can right click the tag or his name in the chat window and select ‘Do not suppress this player.’??? WIN! You’re welcome.

hihey.1075:

So you’re too pro to make changes to your build in order to make it work and come here to the forums to complain.
Sounds reasonable.

You clearly aren’t getting my point lol. GW2 has always been a joke to the rest of the gaming community and I never agreed with them before. I’ve played since the original guild wars factions release. I’ve played GW2 since bwe. I have spent countless hours playing the game. I’m not saying this to sound like a leet entitled “bwe vet”, but to show many times I have changed my build and play style due to updates that I didn’t complain about. Updates are good because the change makes it not so routine. But this? What is the point in playing lol. If you personally like dull repetitive fights that are generally determined with the first attack then cool for me though, I don’t. Maybe the rest of the gw2 pvp community is like you and if so cool, whatever. I’ll just go find another game. But since I have spent so much time in Guild Wars I didn’t want to just leave without saying something. Make sense?

Please do something about all the knockback. These builds were mostly just wars, then engis started doing it. Now I can’t play a single fight without being perma knocked down because every profession is doing it(except maybe necros who try to fear spam and rangers who hope their roots will hold long enough which aren’t big deals). I noticed this HUGE increase in this tactless build started just after the update so I’m assuming it is because pvers don’t know how to do anything if their party isn’t stacked, zerged, or completely disabling the other team.

I know there are other issues in PvP that many people complain about, but imo this is the most annoying and I can’t even play the game anymore because I don’t want to change to a profession that can spam stability. And I’m def not switching to pve to zerg a meta spamming 1 and stack in a corner in a dungeon. Maybe this is the direction gw2 wants to go, in which case cool… but I wont be playing.

no saying all Swedish people are blondes is a generalization / assumption. calling someone a ‘******* rice picker’ (his words) because he doesn’t want them to speak because they’re oriental is racism.

Thanks for the people standing against this form of verbal abuse. I was starting to lose faith in the community when people were expecting me to defend myself for having a voice against racism.
