Guild Wars 2

depends, on non HoT zones I do. on the jungle however I feel like a scared boy running away from anything that casts a shadow XD

the thing is when people claim they want real lfe issues to stay outside of gw2 or any mmos, they are either ignorant or just deliberately lying. gw2 is already filled with real life issues. war, poverty, political manipulation, love, relationships, are all real life issues, but no one cares about that, only certain topics are considered unwanted real life issues…
all fantasy humans create will always have real life issues, we mimic what we live and experience. sure, there are no dragons in real life, but what dragons cause in tyria is a reflection of what other things cause in real life.

we are humans, and social/political issues impact every corner of our lives.
Media is also a great way to show social issues and help better us as a society. People were also against people of color being used on movies and TV back then, it’s exactly the same that now. Unless you’re specifically talking about political candidates or something like that. social issues are part of media, and games, specially MMOs.

I’d love to have a way to have endless versions of all tonics. I mean tonics are mainly just cosmetic, so I don’t see why there shouldn’t be a way to do it.
It would be really nice for RP and just because some of us like to turn into enemies or random stuff without having to make them over and over again…
what do you think about it?

when a fictional character is made, nothing just “happens” all is there for a reason. this is not real life. when you put a strong female protagonist it is not because it just happened that way. it’s because the author has a point he wants to show through his/her character. every part of every fictional character is there for a reason. Does that mean everything is an agenda then?
if you put a trans character it’s of course because the author wants to express their point of view on some issue, but that doesn’t mean that the character will be only valuable because he/she is trans and won’t be an important and coherent part of the story.

why do people assume that if they include a lgbt character it will be just a token character with awful background to be put 8n a pedestal just to show how progressive anet is?
would you react the same to a straight character?
its is not about being a sjw, or microaggresion bs, but including a trans npc should not create such trouble in the first place. it is just a npc in a mmo story, why would people be in arms about such a simple thing?

that’s true though, PVP usually brings out the worst side of competitive people.

I find gw2 community being one of the nicest ones I’ve been in. Sure, like in everywhere, there are kittens, but people are generally helpful.

it’s curious that for some people all gay characters are propaganda. are straight characters propaganda too?

I have no problem with her or any other trans character being part of the important group. But I also think it’s important to have diversity shown in npc’s, where it’s seen as something absolutely normal for others, and no one giving a kitten about it.
Just make it right and not so it looks like “hey! we have a trans character! look at us!” good writing can go a long way.

I’m glad Anet is a lgbt friendly company, I used to play WoW and most of the community in there is awful in that regard, and Blizzard having absolutely no lgbt characters, even small npc’s (that I know of) don’t really help the case. There is a saying that goes: “If in an abuse situation, you don’t take any side, then you’ve already sided with the abuser”.

I’d love to know if this was made into a tonic, and if it was, then how it is called. I hat tonics, but this is pretty much the look I want.

yeah, way too many longcoats in medium armor. why not bring back town clothes as armor? all the models are already done, and they are already dyable anyway, I don’t see why they removed them. they could just bring them back and I?m sure lots of people would be happy.

I know there have been a number of different armor topics in gw2 along the years, but so far I haven’t read anything about making simpler looking armors.
many of us don’t really enjoy the overdetailed armor, with lots of curves or spikes or skulls or stuff, just leather simple armor and clothes.
something that looks closer to this https://40.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md0tgoGViV1rengi5o1_500.jpg
so far I’ve only found one of the human cultural armor that looks relatively close to it, but it’s the only choice among many others that are mostly filled with stuff to the brim.
anyone else would also enjoy simpler looking armor choices?
also, why not put the town clothes as outfits at least? that way they could be dyeable and even if we can’t mix and match, we could wear them to battle and dye them! which would be 1000% times better than just the awful tonics NO ONE uses

I looove jumping puzzles, it’s one of the things that make GW2 great to me.
I love exploring around, and trying to finish JPs without help is awesome. I really hope they keep on doing them
I don’t care if for vistas or other things they move them so it’s not obligatory

I’d personally love to have mounts. Gw2’s maps are so beautiful and I feel it’s sad that we never get to see them much becase we’re just using WPs all the time. I would love to grab my mount and just ride away appreciating the beautiful world of Tyria.
I don’t see it happening though, since those things should be probably planned from before and might complicate things more now.
But still, one can dream…

I’m mostly interested in gliding actually.

I guess I can do the same events over and over only so much times before getting bored. :/ I’ve managed to play the rest of the game without feeling like grinding, but I guess it can’t be done so easily in HoT…

I know it is supposed to take a while, but we’re already several months into HoT, and I’m not even close to finishing any of them. there are 20 mastery skills in Hot, and I dn’t think I’ll complete them before a year or so. I don’t play everyday but I would like to progress in something each day. Now that I have world completition, masteries is what I’m working on, but it feels horribly slow

I enjoyed the story a lot, I think it was etertaining and well done. I cared for all the chars, specially for a certain important female character death that made me very sad and angry.
I can’t wait for more story to unfold.

Is it just me or they take really long to level? I do map event metas, and even for events that take 20+ more mins, I get around 5-8% of a level, meaning I would need to spend like an entire day playing to get a level…
Am I doing something wrong? or is it just that grindy? maybe they could reduce the exp needed?

yeah, zone invasions should be a more regular thing. something happening once in a while, like seasonal events.

I actually like the character, I never got to experience ls1, but it is awesome to have a single sylvari causing so much trouble in all of Tyria. Not only huge dragons can do that.

it’s a great idea actually, at least a way to use armor from other armor weights, giving us some more choices…

all town clothes tonics should be released as outfits, maybe even free outfits, since I don’t think anyone actually uses the tonics now…

what bothers many of us about skimpy outfits is not that they exist, but mainly 2 issues:
-when most of the female outfits or armor is skimpy, you’re taking options away from them, you can only be sexy, and many girls don’t want to only look sexy. So, more options is better.
-males don’t really get many skimpy outfits or armor choices (I’m looking at you, medium armor human male)and some guys also want the option to look sexy and show some skin, so again, more options would be apreciated.

I don’t think anyone wouldbe against sexy armor for females if they had the CHOICE to wear them or not, and if males had comparable options to dress skimpy too.

For a more company like Anet, that has tried t be progressive, this should be a non issue at all.

yeah, I meant that male and female armor in FF look at least alike and part of the same set. in here we have the https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Krytan_Medium_Armor_Skin Krytan medium armor, where the differences between genders is just ridiculous. females get a tight skin armor with a cool sleveless short jacket. and guys? oh, just ANOTHER long coat, because you know, we really need another one of these…

map dynamic events, and the meta events too. being able to go jump right into the action with world bosses.
the amount of character customization, even though I’d love to see it improved even more.
the graphics and the music, is simply awesome. I still can’t get over how beautiful is fear not this night. I wish HoT had such a music for its ending.
how good it runs in my not so good pc.
ah and i almost forgot! the community. it’s not easy to find a good community in an MMO. even paid ones. but people in here are usually really nice

at least in FF armors are mostly equal for males and females, something GW2 should probably learn from…

anyway it’s not going to happen, people are too used to their confort and easy access. it should have been done back in beta or launch at most.
At least it’s clear they intend to have less waypoints in newer zones. That way we have to actually walk to places instead to getting everywhere on the map in 40 secs top.

i would be much happier if both males and females if every race and armor weight could actually choose to wear more covered armor or showing more skin. and please not more gendered armor that look vastily different on guys and girls. i mean sure, a open chest armor for males might need a bra for females, but besides that they should be pretty much the same.

what could help is to ADD a slower way to travel, so those of us who enjoy traveling around could be happy too.
more options are always good, less options is mostly always bad.
add flying ships and regular ships that travel between strategic points, maybe a few asura portals here and there and fixed! those of us who don’t want to be constantly clicking waypoints get to enjoy traveling.

the difference is that FFXIV was burned to the ground because it was doing horribly, GW2 is not doing that great, but not close to the FF levels.

I personally prefer to get content more often than an expac, even if it’s small bits of new content, it helps a lot to prevent the game getting stale.

If you could choose the type of update gw2 gets (meaning new content, not talking about bug fixes and that)
-stable often updates with short chapters (I think that’s how they did it in the past, I wasn’t here though) witih some new maps and stuff like that.
-longer and more spaced updates with more content, like HoT and actual expansions.
PLEASE, don’t turn this into a HoT bashing, or complaining about the amount of content it had, I’m talking in general here.

I would personally prefer shorter updates but more often, like every few months some new chapter into a story. I hate waiting too long, even if it is for a much longer content update.

what about you?

glider should be activated by double pressing the jump key, not by long pressing it. I think that alone would make things easier.

I don’t know about MMO consumer laws and regulations, but asking for a refund after 7 months of playing a game seems awfully like claiming thy gave you the wrong soda after drinking most of it…

yes please! more non trenchoaty medium armor, for males specially! give us leather straps, tight fitting clothes, etc!

female characters being able to choose to be in full armor or more skimpy clothes, many games don’t actually give both options for female characters.
Now they just need to give us males the choice to wear more skimpy outfits (I’m looking at you, medium armor male humans)

last year it was the aviator thing right? I had just started playing the game, and i couldn’t understand what was happening to my character lol XD

I DO love the new maps and the new music. it’s beautiful. the maps are much more complicated (tangled depths specially) but it’s fun to travel around. Enemies are a bit much for me, but I learned to just avoid most of them unless I really need to fight them…

I don’t really get the whole legendaries stuff. I don’t yet have any but arent they basically special weapons with beautiful skins tied to a bunch of different achievements and items? I don’t get why they’re actually hard to design.

the gameplay, it’s fun to play and just to run around. also it runs nice on my not so nice pc.

bear in mind the test is not specifically a gw2 test, it’s a well known general gamer test (although it applies more for MMOs)

Interesting to see so many explorer types on here, I’ve always believed that gw2 is a explorer friendly game. I guess it does bring more of those type than others.

oh, a fellow explorer nice to see more of us ;D

Hello guys, I don’t know if you’ve heard about the Bartle test before, it’s a test that classifies gamers into 4 main types, socializers, achievers, killers and explorers. It’s a pretty neat test and at least for me it helped me clarify a lot why I enjoy certain things so much in games and despise others. (I’m an explorer, with over 85%, and killer under 30%) I think it also helps explain why people expect so many different things in a game, from eachother.
If you want to do it and share your results, here’ the adress for it. I’d love to hear your results and opinions on it.
http://4you2learn.com/bartle/

-town clothes.
-a way to make any tonic, an endless tonic
-tattoos/earrings in character creation (not just for women or norns)
-a way to have my character shirtless without removing armor or
-barbarian /leather straps medium armor, and more variety instead of coats
-change the blue lose trunks for briefs for male characters underwear.
-more hairstyles are always welcome
-more creepy places, haunted forests, abandoned houses and villages, graveyards, more dark stuff.

not long ago actually, with the new expansion maps I’ve felt lots of thrilling experiences.

Elder scrolls Online is a great game too, but still Gw2 is awesome, is run by a competent company and has actual good content. it is among the best.

it’s subjective, best for who?
I’m sure it’s among the best though.
