Guild Wars 2

so any news on this? it’s supposed to be today, right?

I see in metabattle lots of buids, for spvp, for WvW, for fractals and for raiding, my doubts is if those are also good for ope world roaming, events and world bosses.
many of them are for DPS, but I don’t know about survibality…
what do you think?

what’s the point in it having a 10.000 range if it requires line of sight?
it never works! i always get teleporter to another place, along the way back…
I read that if it worked as a teleport it could be abused by someone puting it in the door to an enemy fortress and then following the guy who stepped on it, directly inside.
just change it so you’re always teleported to the trap instead of the character who stepped on it, and change it from a shadowstep to a proper teleport.
same for shadow return, why does it require line of sight if you were already there? half the time it doesn’t work, sometimes because there’s tiny rocks on the wy… even if I actually walked from one point t another…
this change wuld make for example jumping puzzles easier for lots of people, and the skills much more useful,

shadow return of thief shouldn’t require line of sight! what’s the issue with it being a short lived, personal portal? why would that be bad?

I read so many people talking against condition damage builds, but is it viable for pve? because so far everyone tells that it’s better to go the direct damage route.
so if it isn’t that good in pve, why asking for it to be nerfed even more?

i use the cat tonic and wait to get a small cat XD

yeah I go around changing them, but I don’t want to have to change all the time depending on the type of mob either…
for now I use signet of agility, smoke screen and shadow refuge

What do you guys use for utility and elite skills while doing random map events, like in the new maps? Do you use others fire world bosses? For jumping puzzles? Fractals?
I’m interested, I read a very informative description of thief skills but the realized it was from 2014, and lots of the info was outdated…

oh, agility is really important to me too, I love quick deadly moves, deadly blossom was my favorite when I was D/D.

Why do you play the class you do? wWhy do you like it? Do you usually play similar classes in most MMOs or no? Try to go as deep as posible on why you enjoy them.
In my case, I’ve always liked thieves. there’s something about neing agile and fast, going into hiding, and attacking by surprise that I like.I like to be a pain in the kitten too, If I can’t kill them, be sure at least I’ll do my best to annoy them XD Also, back in the days of Ragnarok online, there was a picture with lots of thieves having a party at night in some dark alley, with everyone dancing and drinking, it was part of the charm.
Also I never could get into magic classes, being a gay boy in school, I always remembered that people associated magic with females and physical with guys, to feel more “manly”. I guess some of that must have permeated my thin gay teen skin, and decided to always be a physical class, lol. maybe it makes no sense XD

if they went the ESO route and made outfits equal among all genders, we would both gain double the amount of outfits we have now, and people could choose the one they prefer for their character, no matter their gender.
there are lots of male armor that people would prefer on their female toon, and the other way too.
but I guess we’re still in the 1960’s and females should wear short skirts and guys should cover themselves completely because that’s what everyone wants…

how would aurene be the first mount? there’s only 1 of her and thousands of us. can you imagine all of us mounting a well known story character at the same time? weiiird.

ot me there’s a problem is everyone or most people is using the same stats in their armor.

I don’t think everyone looks for their own in group content, I see lots of people helping revive downed players and helping eachother all the time.
I personally love not having to depend on the hideous trinity.

but I love the male human voice. it fits my character a lot

I just joined the game less than 2 years ago, but in this time I’ve seen the awesome art this game has. So congratulations on his impeccable work!
And to his son, welcome and good luck! Even the best work can always been improved and I wish you the best! How about starting by making more skimpy armor for males? Hehehe

I’d love for GW2 to have fewer invisible walls too. I love to break maps and see what’s behind the limits of where we’re “allowed” to go. Jumping over ledges, or gliding to strategic places is fun for many. but finding invisible walls after a long time getting to a place, feels cheap.

I loved everything BUT the last fight, but enough people have commented on that.

there’s a BUG on the last fight though, I got killed (around th 20th time) and I couldn’t res anymore. the message would only say “you’er defeated” I waited aronud to see if I could res again, but my only choice was to relog, after which I not only lost all the boss progress but all the instance progress again. I had to start all over,.
I’ll sure as hell not try that again till the bug is fixed and the last fight is brought back to earth. it is supposed to be soloable by a regular player.

Also I tried relogging and not only did I lose the boss fight progress, but I have to start the WHOLE instance again. this is really really bad. I won’t even try it again untill they say they have fixed the bug that won’t let us res anymore.

I didn’t mention any names in my post, I don’t really see any spoilers besides if you chose to click on the picture.
but I’ll add the (spoiler) for whatever reason I guess.

ok, I’ll be honest, is the last battle of the story some kind of joke? who in his right mind thinks “yeah, this is fit for a person to do on its own”??
i’ve died like 1000 times, all my equipment is broken, I start the battle and get killed in 0.3 secs.

Bit EVEN WORSE now I’m not even given the option to res. the message only says “you’re defeated”and I have no choices to make
if I relog I’ll of course have to start all over again.
now tell, what’s up with the bug? what can I do? I don’t want to waste all the work I’ve done to get him to 10% of HP

I’d say about half of them allow it XD

I don’t think Arenanet changes prices depending on the economic situation of every and each single country.

I’ve just played the first part, up to the new map, and I loved it. the story was cool, the dialogues were awesome, taimi was funny as always, and the new map is great, feels awesome to be back in Kryta again.

we cant wear both the shiny eyes and a hood though

indeed, more shirtless cosmetics!

it blows my mind that they haven’t changed the radius of emotes yet. makes absolutely no sense…

then do a topic of your own propositions instead of hijacking another one.
what the op is asking is legitimate. just because you do’t care about something doesn’t mean others don’t too. I could care less about PvP/WvW but you don’t see me going to those topics telling that I don’t care about it so Anet should better focus on the things I care about.

I’m all for this too.

i like this idea too!

I thought it was pretty obvious that I was not being serious guys XD I even put a smily face!

Arenanet should give everyone 30 gems, it’s the least they could do for what’s happened, and of course completely unrelated to the fact that I have 670 gems and need 30 more to buy all the cool outfits ;D

I don’t get why people are so salty. Sorry, but if you decided to take a day of your JOB to play a game and then the update was not ready you’ve no one to blame but you.

thanks for letting us know, gonna spank those hamsters!
I hope tomorrow things will go well

opinions I guess, but to me being able to change clothes like I do in real life, depending on the place and hour of the day makes me much more attached to my character.

bucket of cleebrations for the update? haha awesome idea. I wish I had thought about that…

I agree that the wardrobe system has been somewhat abandoned for outfits too. I wish they would unify both of them in a way that let us change clothes without needing TC anymore…

XD “kitten -l-o-w-l-y” without the space becomes a kittened word, I thought Gaile was really angry or something XD

they’re not hard to get, but it’s long to get them, specially for people who like to change clothes often like me. I would love to hange clothes everyday, like I do on other MMOs.

all the ideas are great actually

so many things! every small detail they put in the game for explorers to find, like the skeletins with the chess game XD or the ceiling cat meme in the secret area outside of the manor’s intance in Queendale

I think this topic has been talked before a few times, but I’d love to hear what people have to say about this now.

why do we need transmutation charges each time we want to change our clothes? It makes sense to use them maybe the first time, but I believe we should be free to wear what we want when we want. it’s just a cosmetic change, and even if gw2 is heavily based on cosmetics, we’re not talking about a free wya to getting super exclusive skins or anything like that, only being able to wear what we already have unlocked previously.

I’ve played many games where we can change clothes freely (DCUO, TSW) and I love it, it feels much more real, “oh, I’m going to the snow mountains? better wear my coat, oh I’m going to a tropical island? lighter equipment it is then!”

I know it’s not hard to get the charges, pvp rewards them pretty often and we can just create a new character and explore all the cities for 6 charges in around 1 hour or so. but stil, having to spend at least an hour to get charges just because I felt like putting a coat for my visit to the shiverpeaks for 15 mins is not really a fun thing to do. Each time I save a few charges, I burn through them like a motherkittener.

I think gw2 would win much freedom if we could just choose the skins we want freely, without having to spend time getting charges each time we want to get them. I know they sell them in the store, but do people actually buy them this way? I know I wouldn’t do it.

Opinions? what’s your take on the issue?

it’s okay to enjoy this game because of reasons others think are stupid.
some play for skins, some play for exploration, some play for pvp, some play for jumping puzzles, some play for dungeons/raids,

sure for a COLD area they make sense. but unless we’re in the shiverpeaks it’s not really cold in Tyria.
but trenchcoats being viable or not is not the main issue in here, what people want is VARIETY. not to elminate already existing coats.
medium armor has very little variety, specially for males.

IMO they should scrap levels in GW2, they’re already partially useless because of how they work when you’re in lower level zones. they could change requirements to be based on the mastery system, amount of skill/hero points and stuff like that, to prevent a freshly created character to go to endgame raids or stuff…
also we can get ascended equipment in dungeons? I thought it was only fractals.

good, no one is planning on removing the already available.

they might make a lot of sense for some classes but for others they don’t. an agile evasive thief wouldn’t wear a trenchoat, it’s heavy and would get stuck in everything.
“No Capes!” as Edna Moda said.

ahaaha awesome

I’m curious, if ascended armor is only 5% better than exotic, is ascended necesary for raids? I’ve been told many times that it’s needed to do them.

agree, no one wants to remove options, we just want more variety, I don’t see why would that be a bad idea.
