Guild Wars 2

why would a warrior need a shield in this game.. they have better magic than an earth mage, pfft..

1 warlord killed
0 dragons slain
1 new dragon
welcome to guildwars2

i’m kind of in the middle here, there are only certain achievements i go after.. it can be fun or it can be a chore, i really liked the idea of collections too.. but some of them were implemented without a second thought.. arena net has their own spin on things, but they left out a lot of standard time proven mmo implementations.. if you’re really interested in suggestions, mine is in my signature.. and to answer your question, you’re playing rift because arena net tried to reinvent the wheel instead of just taking their game’s innovation and applying reasonable mmo standards to create a phenomenon.. so what’s left at the end of the day {2 years} is gimmick.. i wasn’t with all the doomsayers snickering about ‘all the new games’ this year but nightmare tide and draenor are going to put a hurting world of perspective on things.. i really hope arena net finds their backbone and keeps a good place in the genre..

i wonder if they will remove the mark 2 storage crate when they put in haystacks for halloween. . . we will see

nice boat..

i remember doing champion of thirst achievement z_z ruined a perfectly good mouse with that one.. good timez

hello guildwars community,
as a player of gw2 from launch, i am contemplating how far we have come in two years.. and where tyria intends to lead us.. we’ve had all manner of patches, we’ve played a myriad of content.. i am not here to question it, i am not here to demand.. i simply mean to offer a humble game suggestion regarding average content/average players..

daily content delivery revamp
taking from the games daily interface, instead of filling out 5 achievements, could you arena net possibly consider kicking that up a notch and implementing some sort of daily quest exposure for your average players.. the delivery system would take some resources, but once implemented, you could include any content you see fit.. players can choose how many of the available quests to do and be rewarded accordingly..

i do not know who this would appeal to Exactly.. some people claim to have already done everything in game.. arena net would need to develop this alongside whatever they’re already doing.. let me know what you think

edit : walk-through summary of idea
thank you for your time

someone sent me a bag of crafting salt  o_o  and told me to check my sodium levels
oh, and then i saw the person one time standing outside a dungeon.. i think it’s just something to do out of boredom and even more so with the huge ‘this was sent by a player’ subtext in the mail system

i’ve played the same amount as this person since start up.. i really think there’s a disconnect with the way the game tries to engage the players.. it was innovative for when the game launched, but they didn’t fill in the holes with other time proven mmo methods.. if you have time, possibly take a look at the suggestion in my signature..

i wanted nomad stats a long time ago, but that ship eventually sailed.. got tired of waiting around and traded all my exotic azurite for ascended soldier trinkets.. having at least one cleric in your party is still useful, i remember my team all died at mai trin and i managed to scrape everyone up so we could finish..

i purposefully skip map completion items as i find the little badge a bit ugly :\

i used the dulfy guide i know i’m a tool and didn’t have any trouble getting the scraps.. unless they changed them since sept9

nice boat..

there was a fan made Skritt character creation page here

i wouldn’t mind seeing arena net implement another race, but something like skritt.. it would be highly interesting to see them playable but with limited abilities.. i don’t see them becoming a more capable race anytime soon.. and no i don’t mean potions

it’s about as worth it as stone heart    z__z

someone recommended it and the game i was currently playing had really bad publishers
yes publishers plural, the one was horrible enough to delete everyone’s progress when they transferred the game.. and it’s a shame because it was a great game for its place in the genre

teams are great but it’d be nice to pace through a dungeon with ‘henchmen’

i’m sure you’ll figure out something safe and constructive to do both inside and out of the game.. sometimes when i am waiting for something i’ll use a game-tonic, or sort through inventory.. by the time i get done playing through the user interfaces i usually come across something to do.. or i can waypoint somewhere and usually there is someone around to have a conversation with in map chat

this isn’t my thread the opening post was removed

male characters wear a singular undergarment from the waist down..
i think it’s only fair the female avatars have this aswell..
y’know, cuz fairness

ok, first of all.. landshark comes out next week.. a good 3 weeks leading up to draenor
second.. gw2 gets two weeks of halloween leading into their fall content..
regardless of ‘what people are going to do’ ..what do you expect arena net to ‘say’ ?
xmas raids and 4th continent expansion for 2015 ? ?   doubt it

i’ve mostly felt that the content and even mechanics of this game are pretty solid {obviously there are drawbacks here and there and someone should always be improving on them} if anything arena net has poor organizational skills, trouble with solid decision making on implementations, and a huge disconnect with their players.. i’m not talking about “communicating” on the forums, i mean.. how the actual game communicates and engages the player.. i think the real blight of this game is that a lot of us really do like tyria but with the way things present themselves the majority of the time we get a feeling of “yeah well, it’s just the same if i didn’t do this” or worse "i could be playing another game right now..
i want to be clear that my personal stance is that All mmo’s Should inspire each other but borrowing niche features from others and injecting them into your own game is a mistake.. and though it pays to be clever, trying to re-invent the wheel is a fools errand.. i’d really like to see this game evolve, but only in a common-sense way from now on

yep, elem is on top.. always has been
can’t argue with logic >_>

i got a laugh out of the skritt carrying candy corn mini..
i think that’s an upcoming new one though

won’t people just farm dynamic events? i’ve written a suggestion that encourages players to participate in game content which includes but isn’t limited to dynamic events.. it would be a slightly more complicated system than dailies but wouldn’t be an impossible waste of resources for arena net.. it’s in my signature if anyone is interested

i don’t really enjoy making alts to go through all the game-book ish personal storylines, nor do i enjoy wandering around tyria like an ant looking for food in an attempt to uncover the game’s lore.. i’d really like arena net to consider that type of gamer and implement a way of enticing players through all the available content.. i don’t really get what the opening poster is aiming toward though as it seems they are disconcerted with almost all aspects of any mmo

which one is foulbear? i personally don’t understand why they would put old items in a collection of that magnitude.. people wanting something new in their home instance really shouldn’t have to go through that sort of rng.. and there were new soulbound items in the quest, so it really makes me question the decision to do so.. not to mention the arah item.. actually i can go on for awhile about how horrible this collection was implemented so i’ll just digress right here..
is the commissar event really broken? or is it that people aren’t doing the chain correctly.. because it’s not straightforward like hirathi ulgoth, you have to backtrack and make sure the map stays clear.. which is furthermore bad for people trying to get a token drop from the champ because they might miss it

how many guilds can i make? i guess 5

i basically have my own guild with just me in it.. can i make Another guild for recruiting people and things like that.. will doing this destroy my first guild? thnx ^^

seeing how there is a viable replacement for the lions statue {the holographic projector from dragons bash} yet the people of tyria are too lazy to even brush the broken one aside.. i find myself disinterested in lions arch

i honestly just log in because i’m habitual, aside from making multiple alts to go through the game-book esque personal story, i’ve played through all the game modes and it seems this game lacks quite a bit of depth.. if they don’t start providing a reason to log in each day other than ‘dodge 15 times’ or ‘go trading post this’ then “the reason i keep logging in” is simply that i haven’t hit the delete button yet

level 80 experience scrolls and account wide everything confirmed…
sigh

but that would require a modicum of effort

#upvotemytalkingpointswars2

i got bored and went to the hall of monuments
apparently it’s super easy to get the dive going there
video and again it took me 1:35 to get it working

well the more horrendous it is the more likely it will go on for 15 pages
the less it has to do with video games, the more likely a dev will reply to it
and the most rational suggestions will be downvoted, set on fire and burried

mine are all saved as jpegs ?_?

what bothers me is they nerfed all the elementalist “corner your opponent” effects, yet didn’t bother to rework ‘gust’ a pushback which has been the most notably frowned upon staff elem skill.. it should be a ground targeted with a small blowout

in tyria gravity is a dark dark spirit, all those non-harmful knockbacks will bide their time and one day when you least expect it, when you are jogging down a mere incline of 35 degrees.. z z z zero health

btw kirin, nice guildname.. huge typemoon fan

patch notes
– daily quests
that is all
e.t.a. never, cuz it’s a good idea

the pickaxe is yet another ridiculous non-issue for vocal minority talking points [basically the oxygen of these forums].. there was a thread about it in the black lion section and it went on for pages.. whenever it was brought up in another forum, people were just like “umm, a few lousy sprockets here and there.. o k” ..anyway, the carpet is in the toys section of the trading post, it’s not meant to be some amazing versatile mount.. landshark ‘cough’ .. i’m just glad if i decide to buy it my female norn can finally /sit without looking like a complete tool

why would you want rational communication instead of endless speculation and talking points to dictate the evolution of the game…

ok here is a video.. i only got it twice in 3 minutes..
well the last half minute is of me training my fox mini.. couldn’t resist
^_^ dive happens at 1:55

i don’t think there is any ‘certain’ way of activating it

no, he’s talking about when you are parallel with the water surface sometimes the character performs a dive motion instead of just dropping off into the water
it’s really hard to activate intentionally

i think it’s because the motion gets stuck between above water and submerge animation but conveniently looks like a dive.. maybe someone at arena net really did their homework and tweaked it to look seamless for when it happens, or it was a full animation intended for diving that only occasionally triggers

i’m uploading a video now z_z 33%

someone was disinterested in pvp? better raise the bat-signal

make another 80
or uninstall

i’ll see your ghost karka
and raise, mesmer yaks

ever see that movie, where the person had several personalities.. and under a coordinated facade of normalcy it was hard to predict if things would turn out ok in the end. . . yeah

yeah, now that burning retreat’s line of fire isn’t fun anymore not that it was phenomenal before, it’d be nice to get a fire aura or some might in its place.. or something

gank wars 2, that elementalist dies a lot more than they’d like to admit

for whatever gold sink, oops i mean ‘content’ they implement between big patches

shhh, don’t say “go play wow”.. for the next 3 months x_x
don’t mention rift either

‘cough’ tyrian raid content 4 life!
 
for narniaaa  ._.
