Guild Wars 2

Soo! Afaik devs mentioned that the story is about to get daaark! I’m just a little bit worried that it’s just the story and not the gameplay. Can GW2’s gameplay get any darker?

Yes, yes, yes~! I’d much more prefer a pleasant ‘oouh’ or something like that when you start gliding. Screaming just… doesn’t fit.

Argh. No new content except some nice new way of previewing dyes in TP / new finisher selection.

I wouldn’t hold my breath either but I’d love to see something like… I don’t know. Maybe some boxes. Fun asuran boxes. Yeah I’d completely asuran boxes. Everyone would love them. It would be even better if those boxes were full of adventures to go on. And if they were 16-bit-ish. Siiigh, one can dream, righ?

Hey Gaile, I know it might be pretty hard for you to tell but it’s very late here already (11 pm) and I’m just wondering… should I got to sleep or wait for the patch?

Hey, I’m morbidly curious what the order of deep dives is. Was it already announced? What are we getting next? Specializations? WvW? Guild Halls? Challenging content?

As Anet already stated that they wanted to create a smaller but deeper area let’s try to guess the size of it. More like Lonar’s Pass, or more like 1/3 of our current map? Or maybe something between? Let’s try to guess!

Was it mentioned somewhere here?

So I remember that it was mentioned somewhere but I never knew if it was official. Is Anet going to make S1 of the living story replayable just like S2?

- Find a bucket
- Deliver ten hits to an invincible chicken
- Find and read ten books
- Threaten a crab

Kill 15 dust mites / skleks / something else without taking damage
Open ten lesser nightmare chests in Silverwastes
Obtain four elemental attunements in Dry Top
Complete X dungeon

I never actually liked the idea of ‘play how you want’ as it’s easier to get into stuff the game tells you to do.

Haha, yeah. Interrupting those would be a pain. I also like how nicely reflection works vs mordrem vines.

So it may be a little bit late as Silverwastes came out a long while ago but I wanted to publicly appreciate the way mobs in Silverwastes work. I am a mesmer. I am always carrying a condition heavy (condi-prec-tough) set with me and I never actually used it before noticing how mobs in Silverwastes work. So there are two types of Terragriffs – one of those has this heavy dash attack and the other one sticks his legs (or what are those) in ground and starts shooting some creepy missiles. And yeah I could talk about other mobs through this whole thread but that’s not the point. The point is that I felt very usefull even in great zergs. Woah, this thrasher would’ve done so much damage if I didn’t interrupt him. Same for the basher terragriff. Oh, and the other terragriff just melted after I applied confusion to him before he started shooting missiles. It’s one of those momments in GW2 when I felt that other builds than zerg are actually usefull. (speaking of my heavy interruption+confusion build which I normally use only in PVP)
I also had a warrior but I somehow felt much less usefull even if doing more damage.

I really, really like where this is going. If other new maps will have even better mobs (and that’s what I expect from Anet as all of it’s newly released stuff looks much better than older stuff to me) then I’m going to be even happier.

I just want to say that I love this idea but it’s very unlikely that we’ll see something like this in GW2. I think that they will more probably stick with the idea of map mastery (Like in Silverwastes – Finish the ‘hardmode’ of personal story for a item you need for map specific collection → Farm map specific tokens → Get map specific rewards and titles. That is Luminescent Armor for Silwerwastes) And I actually pretty much enjoy that way of introducing new maps. And I’m not sure if you have noticed but SW meta events (except for the pacman run bonus) can be completed with no more than 30 people. So that’s not very zergish. Now let’s just hope that they will introduce more than three of them soon but I wouldn’t count on that as long as we don’t hear anything about an expansion sized update.

I just updated my Nvidia Gf drivers and when I click at the “start” button after logging in in launcher my screen starts to flash black and then I’m sent to my pulpit. It never happened to me before and I didn’t change anything except of that driver and Im totally sure it’s the right one. Can anyone help?

Btw is it possible to change GW2 graphic options without starting the game?
