Weapons skins are RNG in Black Lion Chests. Total crap, but not unexpected. It would be great if you could get good things from skill, instead of just having money and luck.

Do Engineers get more accepted into groups?

Everybody pretty much admits that the melee train zerg base line is: guardians + warriors, elementalists, necros and mesmers. Guess what professions got most buffed in latest update? ;-)

Necros got seriously nerfed, but the others are better.

More BL Chest RNG

Nice to see that yet another award is relegated to RNG BL chests. Guess I can give up on getting a rapier. I’m really, really tempted to just quit this lame-kitten game. Nothing is given for skill. Everything is based upon pure luck.

Just trying to find a good elixir gun build for pve. I’d prefer to just use this kit, though I’m not sure that’s viable. After all the recent changes, I’m not sure what’s good or not. thanks!

Krytan coat and pants. Aetherblade boots. Engineer monocle thingy, noble gloves.
I’m tempted to switch her to Duelist pants, because I don’t really like the giant skull belt buckle.

Does anyone know what became of the uncovered rapier, six-shooter, etc. skins? The aetherblade story is almost over, and no sign of these items. I’d happily buy them on the gem store! (hint, hint)

Proposed Thief Rework

I don’t use stealth at all, and I’m kicking butt. I am super-mobile, which is much better in the long run (I don’t pvp, though, so that is likely different).

“you people”……..really? This kind of attitude is just as toxic as all the complainers. Maybe more so.

I suspect he meant “I guarantee you that people will still be unsatisfied and will complain.”

I bet he didn’t mean that at all. But apologists will apologize for other posters.

Either ranger or engineer. Necro used to be on this list, but they got a nice buff last patch. I’m assuming they will get nerfed again this coming patch, and once again be awful, though.

Good dungeon build?

What would you guys recommend for a Guardian going into dungeons?

So far, I’ve mainly just pve’d, and use greatsword/staff, which is fine for that. I’m wondering if I should use a different weapon set in dungeons, though.

This is a great idea. You’d think the aethernauts would have added at least a couple steam golems to the game. Hopefully a few of them would be seeded throughout the world permanently, as well.

First of all i would buyout ArenaNet from NCsoft and give them full independence to what they create.

i have a bad news for you.

Anet claims continually to be really independent on GW2.
So they are the only responsible for any success or failure.

Source?

There are many threads on it (with official dev answers) i don t keep record of all posts….but there are so many that maybe somoene have a link.

I’ve seen those post about Anet being pretty independent from NCSoft as well. Here’s a pic mentioning gem store stuff.

Except for nuking the Canthan district, you mean.

Wait is this about adding things to the game or just simply buying them out? If its about changing the game you must know how to programed games (knowing what you can realty do with there system) you must know how to put it out (knowing the server limitation) there a lot more to making a game and adding things to games then just shouting “I WANT THIS NOW!”
As for buying them out unless you intend on just simply firing who lead of the game and putting your self as lead (there a host of problems doing this) your not going to changes things that much.
Money talks but it a cheep talk you simply cant spend your problems away.

That added nothing to the conversation. IF you have a billion dollars, you can hire programmers capable of adding new things to the game (including guys already working at anet). What is it with people saying “YOU CAN’T CHANGE THE GAME. YOU’RE NOT A PROGRAMMER, SO YOUR INPUT IS INVALID!!!!!”

Newsflash!: The current anet programmers are making changes to the game right now! It’s call biweekly patches! Amazing!

Ditch spvp/tpvp.
Keep wvwvw. Add in some more maps. One with a big open zone for mass battles, another that works great for small groups.
Buff the QA team (as in, have some full-timers working on it, instead of the intern’s girlfriend).
Do some more class balances and fix all the non-working traits that exist in a 10-month old game (seriously, this is just ridiculous).
Add in skritt and kodan as player races.
Add in some new weapons (melee spears on land, for one.)
More skins in the gem store.
Remove RNG for skins, etc., from the game. Chests would still provide some things, but everything would also be on the gem store.
Make on pick, one sickle, and one axe. They would work on all forms of nodes. You would still have to replenish them, though.
Add in Cantha and Elona. Maybe as the next big expansion.
Never, ever increase level cap or add any new “levels” of gear.

Level cap: if increased, what are the impacts?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: danbuter.2314

danbuter.2314

If level cap is raised, I’m leaving. There is no reason whatsoever to raise it. It’s already way too high (should have been capped at 20 or maybe 30).
