Guild Wars 2

every class always feels like they’re too nerfed or in a disadvantage against the rest. Not to say there are some classes that do better or worse than others, but even if it wasn’t, people would feel that way anyway.

I like GW2 trailers and videos, the last one from HoT was awesome, but I also enjoy the less realistic ones like the fractals video, it was simply awesome.
Also the beginning video after character creation is also very nice.

this will be my first halloween in Tyria so I hope it doesn’t get cancelled or anything :S
the music is really awesome and I want to try out the jumping puzzle.

I haven’t heard any of the new songs from HoT yet, but I’d love to hear them

Id love for that to happen. It makes it look different and fresh

I think i wont compliment anyone else for their looks now…

haven’t you thought that maybe many of us are HAPPY to give money to anet for what we think is a great game that we have been able to enjoy for years without requiring payement?

As a thief I find underwater battles to be pretty fun and easy. lots of evades and nice damage. maybe for other classes it’s different though.

I like LS. I prefer to have an interesting story to follow than a dungeon to grind endlessly.

Let’s not compare a 5000% price increase on a life saving medicine to a MMO expansion ok? It’s pretty disrespectful.

but that would mean another armor model done specifically for asuras and charrs. It’s more work, because it means that every armor should have 3 versions instead of two.

I remember when instagram stopped being iphone exclusive and went to android aswell. I remember seeing hundreds of complaints and whining from iphone users claiming that the android users would cause too much drama, and they wanted it to stay exclusive, never even noting that the ones causing all the drama and ruckus were themselves in the first place.
Here it’s a bit the same. toxic people can be found anywhere, I can log in to WoW, a paid game and still find my fair share of kittenry with relative ease.

I had no idea about that area, it looks like you need some special skills to get there though, I wonder if it can be done with a thief…

I love the whole glkittentering pink buterflies concept. I dont really like magic corientes classes but mesmer is so pretty and fun to play

Being in a dark creepy foggy swamp and have some uppity haooy music playing.

Absolutely agree with that.

hey, you forgot mysterious masked assassins dressed in dark colors, that’s not fair!

I decided to just not wear my chest armor in general and only put it when battling harder foes or doing pvp.
I prefer this look over the trenchcoats completely XD

ah, yeah I know, there’s one list for field during day and other during night, not much else XD I mainly want to use the quieter and creepier songs for the night. Sometimes it’s too happy and calm

oh then it could work, thanks! I’ll try that

I’mcrossing my fingers for non trenchcoats for male medium armor

forgot to ask, what if I create the folder and I only put a playlist for nighttime? would that work to only pick music from the folder when it needs to use nighttime? or if I create the folder I need to put all playlists in there or I will have silence when it needs a missing playlist?

I’m not interested in any of the skins they are removing, but still I think it’s pretty awful to do this.

aw that sucks, it means I would have to download all ingame music if I want to edit just a few songs.
thanks though. I guess it’s easier to just mute the music and manually select another song from youtube or something :/

I want to start this topic saying that GW2 has an amazing and beautiful soundtrack, I love many of the songs we haved ingame and the quality is really good. It’s one of my favorite osts in MMOs, and videogames in general.
That being said, I read a while ago it was possible to change the music played in game by accesing the music folder and putting playlist files in there. I don’t want to change the music itself, but I’d love to change the order on them (like putting some darker music from dungeons at night), But I haven’t been able to find the music folder. People say it’s right next to the screenshots folder but I can’t find it in there.

Also. I’d love if field music (meaning music that plays in the open, outside cities) would be more specific to the place you’re in, like having music for snowy areas, for swamps, for deserts, for beaches etc. Sometimes it’s a bit anticlimatic when I’m in a creepy swamp at night and there is a beautiful happy calm music playing.

I’d love any help on this

Im just glad asura and charr dont have a huge amount of gender diphormism like in other games. Where the male is a huge feral ugly beast and the female is a sexy girl with cat ears and a tail

Why do them even remove things from the gem store? Why take away options from paying players?

Not wanting others to have something because you think that having it only yourself makes you unique seems incredibly elitist and egoistical to me.

I agree, thinking men should not wear revealing clothes but women can wear them is a sexist argument because it means you see women as eyecandy (partially or totally) and refuse for men to be seen that way because you think its ridiculous or degrading.
Back to the topic, i think most of us agree that male characters need more options. Thats all we are asking for.

Toren, if you can’t even see the example because you’re at work, you’re probably not informed to reply.
I’m not talking about wearing female clothes, so either stop trolling or reread my post.
One of the examples has a bra, if we take the bra off, the outfit would work for a guy. How does that even come close to want to wear female clothes?

I’m not interested in arguing weith trolls so if this is your intent, I don’t have more to reply to you.

That’s exactly what I’m talking about. I’m not advocating leather thongs for males, but armor that show the bare chest? tight pants? sleveless shirts? That’s all I’m asking for. (Not that I wouldn’t like to be running around in Lord Faren’s speedo, but that’s another thing altogether XD)
For medium armor things like this could work greatly for males:

ANd I agree funky fat tighs, I’m on my way to get the glorious chest piece for the exact same reason, and I hate PVP with a passion, but like you said it’s the only one that doesn’t have a skirt.

how come female thieves have revealing clothing options and male thieves do not? why would only the female one fit the aesthetics of the game?

Because it wouldn’t look right seeing a male thief wearing that same clothing? I don’t subscribe to gender theory, sorry. There are intrinsic differences between the male and female form. Artists for thousands of years have recognized this fact either implicitly or explicitly.

that would be the case if I were asking for males to be wearing skirts or clothes made for women. But none of the examples I gave you consist on skirts. All of those examples would work on guys (with the obvious exception of having a bra on the first example)

look at this Phoenix Namor armor: http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/12/125864/2447176-marvel__2_.jpg it’s pretty much the same than the first of the examples I showed you, if we look at the type of revealing clothes, and it works for a guy just as good.

Just because YOU are not so used to see males with more revealing clothes it means that it’s any less natural.

1 minute and a half might be a lot to you (and to me too to be honest) But we have to be tolerant of how others RP too. I tend to have my replies ready in 20 secs or so, but I’ve rped with people that take 4 minutes each time. it just happens and I would never tell them to speed up. it only means that I’ll probably will have to go before we have finished a longer conversation though, considering I don’t rp for more than 1 hour usually.

how come female thieves have revealing clothing options and male thieves do not? why would only the female one fit the aesthetics of the game?
here are some examples of heavy differences in medium armor for males and females:
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sneakthief_armor
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Assassin%27s_armor
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Krytan_armor

Most of the rest are pretty much the same for both genders, which is a great thing, compared to many other MMOs around. But still it means that males have no revealing options for them.

trolls are going to troll anyway. But most people will just ignore that kind of behaviour.

When only females can wear skimpy clothing it reeks of sexism.

Male characters wearing heavy armor have some “skimpy” options to make them fit a barbarian type of theme. In fact, I usually apply those skins on my heavy characters because playing Conan the Barbarian is fun. The term “sexism” gets thrown around a lot today when it shouldn’t.

Medium armor (human)has absolutely no skimpy options for males. For females no armor type has no skimpy choices.
and about sexism, depending on the definition you consider on it. I think that having almost no choices for male skimpy armor and many choices for females is sexist.

Weather changes are nice, it helps a lot to make a more imersive game. I just wish more areas had varying weather. Why can’t cities have a rainy grey day sometimes? I’d love to see DR with rain.

I actually like the male hairstyles, this is one of the few games where I have more than 1 choice that I like. That being said, more options are always good.
As for clothing go, I agree, I tend to see mostly female characters in skimpy outfits and I thought It was like tera that most female armors where like that, but then saw all female armor in game and most of it is not skimpy at all, but it’s the players that consistently choose the skimpy ones much more often than the rest.
I wouldn’t mind much if we males had similar options, but we’re not even close. I play a human male thief and I have NO skimpy options at all. 90% of the choices I have are long trenchcoats and clothes with long drapes on it. The few ones that are shorter are not skimpy at all. I don’t really mean I weant to go around fighing in a leather thong, but something like a leather harness for medium armor and pants with some holes in them like female have would be great.
When only females can wear skimpy clothing it reeks of sexism. And even though I know ArenaNet is a pretty decent company about that (kudos on that by the way) they could still make things more even for both genders.
The main point is to have choices, both for males and females. I don’t mind skimpy females much in here because they choose to do so, in other games like Tera, they don’t have much choices, they have to dress like that.
So please, ArenaNet, give us choices and make things more even, that’s what many of us are asking. The daydreamer’s finery was a nice step, but doesn’t really work for melee or non magical classes. Besides it has “buttflaps” too like someone said in other topic XD

I’m sorry you have had bad experiences with RP, I’ve had the complete opposite happen to me. I’ve met almost only great people.
like others said, getting some friends or guild to rpn with can help a lot, you can even have more deep plots and story than just random tavern RP where many people don’t really go past their first meetings with eachother.
As for elitists, rude people and similar issues, you’ll just have to learn to shake it off. Keep the kind people around you, and let the rude ones go. Don’t even look back, they’re not worth it.
You can PM me if you have any questions or need any help, I’d be glad to help you out.

male medium human armor has the worst non-buttflappy options, I think. only the glorious set has none, and just a few options (2 or 3) have shorter flaps.

I dont buy it because its not released yet. I never prepurchase, but i will get it when the expansion hits.

Im still new, so ive been doing all the jumping puzzles and slowly advancing in world completition

you mean it’s okay to have skimpy females but when makes do it too then it’s the end of your gw2 days?

I have pretty good fps in gw2 always (the only exception being really crowded world bosses and the like) and my pc isn’t ner the top best.

XD buttflaps
but I agree that we need some shorter options, specially for medium armor for males. it’s all coats.

i’d rather have some male skimpy options too, but it’s definitely more work to model new armorsets than just enabling a button to remove the top.

I’d LOVE ot be able to hide shirts actually. that’s all I need to make my char awesome
I wear medium armor as a human and it’s 99% coats and long clothes. I want something like a leather harness or something, but having the choice to remove shirt would be pretty sweet too.

Aye mate, that’s me city, arrrrrr

I’m pretty new to the game, could someone explain to me what is Super adventure box to me? I saw a video that looked like minecraft, but that’s all I know. :S

Seems to me you just enjoyed the old school mmos more. I personally love gw2 because it does things differently from other mmos.
