Guild Wars 2

spoiler thread well sort of

soo, if you’ve done your new living story.. and you listened to the live stream
there is a holo-scarlet in her room and spoiler it goes on to tell us some scarlet backstory and basically ceara made ‘steam brains’ and experimented with portals and the steam creatures eventually did things on their own..

hello tyrians, i’m used to using gw2skills . com
they are missing some stat combinations.. i want to see a few calculations using the new ventari armor, so does anyone have an up to date build calculator out there with a non-headache interface.. would be appreciated thanks

Djinn.9245:

realistically (for in-game realism) why would a bunch of adults allow a cute, disabled “almost-adult” to go along in such dangerous situations?

because they don’t act like adults

why would they allow her to be the one to catalog Scarlett’s stuff?

taimi wants the finders rights, they trust her.. and marjory used to be ministry guard but runs their own detective business

and if we are critiquing DE2.0, particularly marjory.. i don’t care much for her kitten names she adresses everyone with and even when she says something of merit it’s in that sultry cheesey private detective voice.. if that characters development went in that direction because ‘they thought it would be neat’ they were sadly mistaken

i personally don’t feel my character has any driving reason to be overly affiliated with Destiny’s Edge, the Living Story Guild {DE2.0}, or Trahearne..
i am also not part of this “my hero must have salutations of praise and rose petals thrown at their feet wherever they go” crowd, nor does my “hero” need to bark anything definitive at every given opportunity…
to be perfectly honest i think arena net is in a good place right now with the way they handle the storyline character interactions.. in game avatars with a mix of voiced dialogue and text dialogue.. i find the ambient open-world version of this to be very enriched content and furthermore my character feels defined more so by what they do in the game and not so much arbitrarily implemented ‘recognition.’

do i think there are subjective protocols implemented on the servers, yus i do
is rng/magic find completely broken in this game.. not completely

all i can contribute to this conversation is magic find
it works in tiers and on tables
eventually you will find how/where it is useful to your account

they need to make jumping puzzles that are
difficult and challenging content
vs
“i’m never going to do that again”

i’m wondering who does the maintenance on gw1 as when you go to anything ‘arenanet’ it is 100% gw2.. does ncsoft handle this
as for magic find i can tell you it increases the amount of yellows {rares} you’ll pick up.. however, from personal experience i can only offer the assumption that it does nothing for higher tier mats and exotic drops

well my guildies and i asked for a pet pony therefore arena net must deliver

elementalist
i do not recommend playing one

non-relevant and should have been posted in linksville
but while this thread is here, i’ll just as well post this

season 1 armor with members of dragonspawn’s destiny

seemingly well composed post, yet very vague and cherry picking from other games..
i’m also getting the impression of college writing long windedness.. oh, just noticed.. even has a cheesey title. . . seriously though, most of the ‘issues’ mentioned in this thread are just game critique.. it’s a suggestion thread grandstanding as one of these all too frequent general forum ‘revolutionary’ posts..

even if i’m in a bad mood i Try to participate a fair amount.. there is no avoiding sponges, they are minions of the deep sea dragon and the true bane of Tyria ! >:0

seriously though arena net needs to Randomize the Blighted Grub placement because it has campers, and the same with Champion Modniir Commander { had to look that one up because i’ve yet to see the details through the massive garble of green text }

i’m not saying entire events need to be revamped { or bugged } but small patches and community feedback would be appreciated..

i took a nice walk through skrittsburg and brisban recently.. i never really explored it.. i can see the inquest, nightmare, bandit triad.. and it’s interesting how asurans go out there to tweak their experiments.. this is really what the game has been heavily lacking for a long time.. a Reason to go out to areas that have been there since Launch.. “new” content vs “altered” content.. i really think arena net is done trying to reinvent the wheel and i’m gritting my teeth actually anticipating season 2..

upon closer inspection of concept art
( •_•)>o-o
( o-o)
( 0_0)>o-o
seraph mini vs reasonably sized blighted growth
confirmed

i would have gladly traded in my liadri for the character to have some dialogue or Something this time around.. z_z wasn’t on arena net’s agenda

it’s sad when you walk into the npc bunking quaters and they are like.. standin’ on the beds.. anyway, the female ‘sit’ emote is somewhat annoying.. and the ‘kneel’ emote has my character staring at the floor.. don’t they have an in-between emote that fits {example: sit emote from 9dragons} vs {sit and kneel from gw2}

they had it coming…

hype and presumptions simply aren’t the way to go in this game
and i don’t expect arena net to release early patch notes directly related to lore
what i do see a lack of is dev communication with the community
“hey gw2 fans, i’ve been working on something akin to “x” and though i can’t confirm “y” speculations, i’d tune in next week for some “z” content"
that’d be great, because all we get now is a huge game of ‘peek-a-boo’
and “oh, do you remember that, cuz we worked really hard on it”

expectations are a bad, bad thing in current day tyria
remember ‘origin of madness’ ? possibly one of the best releases
but “scarlet hears voices” isn’t exactly the in depth lore people were expecting
lets simply take ‘gates of maguuma’ for what it’s worth {something to do with maguuma}

dwarves           

pretty sure i’m a stomped on elementalist

it’s a trap       

zhaitaffy guy is missing too, i bought 5 stacks right before the patch z_z
things like that always happening to me.. but, you can still put a few stacks in your collections storage.. can’t with blade shards though z_z vendors need vacations too

quests                            

never re-capitulate ?_?

mounts vs mounts
\thread

after fire elemental, people were waiting at the barrier.. anyone gots keyz
anyway, some of the displaced creature mini bosses showed up and i decided to go do that instead.. i thought to myself,
what if there was a world boss encounter set up near a dimensional rift and aside from being added into the standard world boss train rotation it spawned a randomized creature several times a day..
con – would have to design multiple bosses for this “single” encounter
pro – variable play and awesomeness
there are already “busted asura gate” events in the open world, which are really fun by the way.. and i know this idea isn’t very lore oriented, but it would give players and devs countless opportunities to test drive the mechanics of boss encounters.. they could tweak already existing champs from the open world or EotM even and take player feedback.. then they can always lessen the chance to roll that particular mob and update the forums with a “hey, we took your feedback on that boss and did some really neat things with it.. although it will spawn less on the wbt now, you can always check it out in it’s usual area of the game..” and furthermore, if the developers are feeling extra ambitious.. it’s always nice to hear “hey guildie, were you at the d-rift world boss event last night? it rolled a boss i’ve never seen before.. mind = blown”    anyway, you get the idea.. i’d love to hear feedback on this suggestion

nawh, kids aren’t allowed to fight in kids games… her golem, scruffy, did that

spear for norn elementalists,  confirmed

ok this is what bothers me about Anet

this entire thread and all its kitten kittening bothers me
except this guys post

Please learn what “propaganda” means.

only post that had any semblance of rational thought whatsoever.. you sir deserve an omnomberry bar
it’s just a bunch of promotions for season 2

sry i had to draw on it the face and midsection were making me queasy

once you cut through all the hype, the scarlet saga isn’t so bad.. believe me, around the time of ‘origin of madness’ i was scouting out areas looking for little clues of what was promised to be a very captivating reveal.. and then we all found out, ‘oh, crazy is as crazy does.. mmo life is like a box of unlikely alliances, you never know when you’re going to get an Extra dragon’   ..anyway, scarlet was a dragon champion, she waged an incoherent war against the tyrian continent..
whether you enjoyed the scarlet saga or not, is mostly personal preference.. i’ve been on this game long enough that i’m open to any storyline at this point and Implementation will hold the most significance.. some past installments were hit and miss as far as i was concerned, i only glanced through tower of nightmares.. i do remember going into a clue and puzzle room where there was an experimental spore pod that you couldn’t get open with normal tools.. this was just part of the puzzles and antitoxin, but scarlet would experiment, build, and mutate things in a very wishy-washy manner..
it is what it is, but what popped into my mind was if scarlet ever worked out a plan B, or if we will see a reincarnation of her down the road.. { i’d also like to take this opportunity to mention the end of zhaitan was ok, not great.. and having to stomp out a reincarnation of That wouldn’t be entirely obnoxious } as long as there is intriguing storyline, and decent implementation.. i don’t know what to expect from season 2, it could be anything..
if nothing other than Mordremoth, or kicking the dead horse that is Scarlet
we can just hope it is good

i just want more things to put in my home instance as the game gets older

my character was diplomatic, i would have roughed them up then took them to jail :0

Substance E.4852:

They don’t seem to put much emphasis on the RP part of their MMO*RP*G anymore.

gw2 has more in common with farmville than it does traditional mmorpg

yeah, i miss my bird
character development is non-existent in this game
aside from ‘look what i grinded out’
this game is in sore need of quests, and the season 2 story journal is a step in the right direction.. but there should be missions choosable by the player, y’know open world stuff, aside from the pop-up events and dungeons.. there should be a panel in your character user interface that allows you to read about and understand why the task is important.. and you should recieve character points for completing them.. the players develop their characters simply by choosing to do these missions or not and it offers more depth, options, and a sense of accomplishment.. furthermore, it would not only influence customers to appreciate their game characters more, but also arena net’s Living Story..

yeah, so.. basically { see attachment }

Noxicon.4956:

I stopped reading after you said Warriors had the highest damage in the game. Making that statement, you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. Ele’s vs War in an ideal environment and an ele out damages the war by about 7k per second. That’s significant.

annndd the elementalist dies

i have no talent whatsoever, but if arena net would like to have me around as a consultant i can fly out to washington.. i doubt they’d let me in the building

i like my ranger it has a few builds
as for this thread it reminds me of a small human type of not so much age hopping up and down yelling look at me, and then you look over only to see a gesture which is most adequately defined as umm, yeah

In your opinion, what should the strengths and weaknesses of each profession be? What’s your profession’s kryptonite? And remember, no single profession should be the best at everything!

that’s funny, because i run an elementalist and its kryptonite is Everything

i’ll just answer the first part by saying Almost every person i have talked to since the launch of this game looks at the elementalist profession and sit there dumbfounded, while a miniscule amount of persons praise it as some sort of obscure treat that needs a preposterous amount of tending to attain fruition

is there even garm on the back of that t-shirt

it should just be a stick with a revival orb on top
and i think we all know why

thanks hahnchen for the pic
and 
thanks grom for his commission.. he did a wonderful job on this painting which i touched up the face, eyes, and staff with color simply out of personal preference

it was night in gendarran.. korra was at the vigil keep, standing on an architectural turret. she looked out over the refugee camp with its torches lit and knew with each passing hour more lives would be lost.. bodies displaced into numerous graves and even in the light of day there was darkness.. frost was gathering on the battlement in front of her; anger and disgust filled her heart.. korra clenched her fists enough for her nails to leave marks on her palms.. she took another deep breath and raised her arms into position.. somehow she calmly grasped the frost bow as it materialized there and already having the arrow set, she let it sail off into the night air.. each arrow burst into a soft flare before vanishing like a shooting star..
korra did this for several minutes..
Someone walked in behind her and asked ‘how do you make it do that?’
Korra smiled to herself and looked over “do you know there’s a particle for everything?”
’ in blacksmithing, even the seemingly insignificant details are important’
Korra melted the frost bow right there on the ledge  “someone taught me that a long time ago”  and before the person could respond  “they died,  a dragon killed them.”
Korra was turning to head back inside when she noticed a saddened asuran standing there. The asuran looked down at the kettle she was holding ‘i.. i made some tea’ she smiled softly and went back inside.. Korra thought out loud  “doesn’t anyone sleep around here.” The person asked her ‘do you?’
They went inside after that..

maybe you should recommend people try out crafting actual items or doing a dungeon run without getting totally carried before suggesting this not so bad end game you speak of.. nice obscure legendary pitch though

ahh, the new pirate skritt in the cave is the portal stone merchant
{karma merchant, it’s free}
eotn has a perfect spot in guildwars2, you go there and he tells you to buy their old games.. basically
i’m sure we can all go up there and dust out the cobwebs before we kill jormag in 2016 n__n

ahah the option icons

i am a cat in a cage on the hobosack of the skritt king and i approve this message

yeah, when you don’t gear up your alts.. a baby quaggan cries

i run a “123 80s no shadow refuge” lfg
usually a thief joins first and says nothing, so i don’t know if they are trolling or what..
a lot of the time i get level 40ish warriors who join, and i’m not elitist that i’ll refuse to ferry maybe 1 or 2 low levels through.. but if you’re low level you should have the consideration to join as the 4th or 5th slot.. otherwise the party can’t even aszess the situation
anyway, it doesn’t matter because it’s like looking for a brain transplant donor trying to get a competent 4 others to even start that particular dungeon.. and like someone said it’s like herding cats once you get in there

typically it takes 15 minutes to run each path
