Guild Wars 2

To not rebuild LA would be admitting that Scarlet and her murderers won, and they broke our spirit and split our Pact.

I agree with the OP as well. Even though I think the whole of the main story was poorly written, to destroy a game’s major city down to smoldering ruins takes guts. And the first time I logged in for the Aftermath, I was impressed with the destruction of the place. Some game devs just adjust the maps a tiny bit after an update, but Anet went batkitten on the place.

+1 to Anet for that.

Edit: lol “batkitten”

Everyone gets miniaturized after using an asura gate…. Asura get turned into progeny-size. lol

I can’t wait for this! As a GW1 vet, getting the skills from quests was a lot of fun. You got out to explore the world, it felt like progress.

I will reserve proper opinionation until after the patch to see how playing a new character for 30 levels without traits affects them. Currently traits aren’t that big of a deal until around level 30 anyway… so this doesn’t seem like the DOOM posters claim to think it is.

“The right to bear arms”

hahahahahahahaha…

wipes away tears It’s even funnier in reference to wanting Kodan characters.

Fozzik.1742:

Greeting Starfighter. You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the frontier against Xur and the Kodan armada.

+1 I loved this movie SO much.

I admit I thought this was going to be about the movie, and was like wtf does this have to do with the game. xD Then I clicked to see and was like “oh”.

The only thing ESO has going for it is the Tamriel setting and even that’s been kinda flubbed because of the obsessive need to have pvp as the endgame. I can’t see ESO being the big ticket game that Zeni/Bethesda is hoping it will be.

As for Gw2 being in danger for 10 days? Not really… I’m finding myself rather bored, but I have other things to do right now as well. I’d like to have more LS to complain about but I can wait.

I don’t think I will be buying these again. Mainly because if I used them at low level, I would have to shell out another 10$ (or whatever amount of gold 800 gems would be at the time) again. I only bought one because I liked the skin, and tested it out on the helmet part (medium aetherblade), to see if I could use it with a transmute stone – which I couldn’t.

I would like to see this changed so that we can use transmute stones on them… make it so that it uses the level 80 stones if you need to… or have it charge gold (or a gem or two) for the change. >.>

I doubt Anet will change this because they would loose money… but then again, I think it would force them to have to put up new skins more often… which would be a good thing.

Town clothes need to be fixed so that if we take even a bit of damage from falling it doesn’t switch back to armour. >.<

Also skirts for norn and asura please.

I didn’t bother with the harder achievements like getting Scarlet downed before her shields go up and 6 Minutes. I just did three dailies.

I’d like to have better weather and day/night cycles too. The setting is so beautiful, but the kitten weather/seasons detracts from it.

“She was already half dead when I got there, all I did was stick a fork in her and call her done.”

Phex.8423:

My only wish is that the Jack Sparrow hair-do from the male asura would also be allowed on female asura… I love iiiiit but my character is a female. :P

This. So much… I’d buy yet another hairkit for my tiny Asura girl if I could have that style.

Anet did a really awesome job with the weapon skins and some of the hairstyles this time. Still didn’t see any human hairstyles I liked, but I’m really happy with the messy-double-braids with the female norns!

I wish they had made the dreadlocks and bandana style for both male and female Asura. >.>

But I got to say that they finally made a female Norn hairstyle I really like… the messy double braids with the circlet.

If I had any doubt before that people will kitten about anything, I don’t anymore.

Instead of bemoaning the death of a mass-murderer and some peoples stress-relieving comments, why don’t you put it your energy to good use? Complain about how the dead go so little attention at the graveyard. All they got was a little blurb on a piece of scavenged wood. There was way more people that died in the attack and occupation than the few who got mentioned.

People need to stop being such bleeding hearts. I have respect for the dead in truck loads, I do not have respect for dead murderers and psychopaths.

I’d like to trade in all my shards and other junk for the items so I can get the halo. >.> I wasnt able to get enough before the end.

What’s your age have to do with any of this? if you don’t like the story that’s fine, but why do you have to derail my thread with it? Make a new one and complain about the story there. >.<

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

Boneheart: I looked it up on Merriam Webster…

I’m not saying you’re wrong by looking it up, I just like posting definitions when someone says “look it up” :p

Finally seeing Scarlet-sue dead? Priceless.

The NA’s are for parts of the LS that I either didn’t get to be a part of, or don’t remember well enough to rate.

My post is a bit messed up… in content order and can’t seem to edit it. >.<

Jennah and Logan kitten me off. I hated that part in the book SO freaking much and wished Rytlock would have gutted him. Seriously ugh. And he’s so whiney in the game too.
I think Jennah just mesmer’ed him into loving her because she was obsessed with him… magical overly attached girlfriend anyone? lol

“I bet Blizzard could do it easily…They’ve got some awesome writers over there.”

I think there are plenty of hetero couples in game, and this one too. It’s just that the gay ones get more attention because of either hate, or because it’s refreshing not see some stereotypical crap about a muscle-head and his “I’m really powerful, but I can’t defend myself or be revelant without a big strong man next to me” love interest. >.>

HAHAHAHHAAa…ahah… hah… ok laughed too much there. :P

Also why does it have to be a strong and powerful male? I’d like to see a woman do the same thing and dominate the scene (no, not you Jennah), and remain like that after collecting some dude to be her love-interest.

“Maybe the thorn prick was nothing more than a thorn prick? Not everything is going to turn out to be Chekov’s gun, ya know.”

Because this is Anet were talking about.

I really like Kasmeer and Marjory, even more so after the drill cut scene… so I am going to be thoroughly disgusted if they do something stupid like kill them off.

Also I didn’t know she hiccuped when she got scared, I thought she was drunk the whole time. xD

Pffffffft…

I had a similar thought though: Primordus wakes up and is kittened, goes on a rampage and kills the other dragons. Complains about how everyone up there is being too loud and basically sounding like a crotchety grandpa. Obliterates what’s left of Mary-sue’s drill and then goes back to sleep.

It would be completely unexpected and amusing.

First of all, thank you for the Nightfall weapon skins! Nightfall was my favourite GW1 game.

The focus is beautiful and I love the shimmering rune-like inscriptions, but… the focus is HUGE.

Could you please consider reducing the size of the focus?

The scepter I like a lot as well, but I always thought the scepters were too long. The princess wand skin is the right size (my opinion).

And as a side-note, I find it frustrating that the staff is not the Trident. >.>

Same… I just bought 5 keys and can’t buy the chests off the tp.

To those who think they are cool and they add to the action… these are way more annoying when you’re trying to fight for your life (to escape) and they keep targeting while you’re fighting off the mobs.
And just as annoying at the southern end with the hell gates active spewing out fire while the orbital strikes spam the area WITH molten effigies rampaging.

I am not exaggerating.

I bet all you guys laugh when you see animals get run over or when someone abuses an animal. >.>

I’d just love it if they would turn off the magical orbital strikes that come from nothing. There is nothing strategic of fun about getting blasted away while you’re fighting a pile of skill-spamming mobs that only have aoe-knockbacks on their hotbar.

Not kidding. Last night I encountered a “thug” that repeatedly knocked me back. Couldn’t even dodge because as soon as the stun ended it would knock me back down again immediately.

“As a player that did get it and spent a few days doing event to get it I would rather it not. Kinda makes my accomplishment meaning less.”

Heaven forbid someone not feel like a special snowflake…

I think they should put it in the slot-machine boxes with like a 25% chance of getting it. It’s just a gas mask… big freaking deal. I can get them off the trading post for a gold on Tarnished Coast.

Oh dang.. there goes that sense of accomplishment. :P

Here’s my thoughts:

1. I don’t mind the zerg so much… but with all the sfx spam it’s really hard to see whats going on.
2. Targeting sucks and I usually lock onto a mob across the plaza or whatever instead of the one near me, and mouse-targeting is hard because of point #1.
3. Anet is obsessed with knockbacks and stuns and aoe spam. This is not action game play, this is just annoying.
4. I would like this a hell of a lot better if we didn’t have to deal with multiple hell gates + orbital strike blasts + the aforementioned stuns and whatnot. Add on to that, sometimes we get 2 orbital strikes plus hell gate bombardment on top of each other in the same spot. This is not good game design and it’s definitely not fun.
5. It’s not the zerg that I dislike, it’s the headless chickens running around (lol). Everything goes great for like 5 minutes, then people scatter and you’re lucky if you get in a clump that sticks together for the whole time.
6. I do like the open world better than the personal story parts because I’d rather be in a group of people than trying to survive a bunch of knock-back-stun-mobs, because “lol its an action game”.

It does get boring after while, game definitely needs some stuff that isn’t combat oriented or crafting (like fishing)… but that’s a whole ’nother matter.

I also want to point out that unlike other mmos I’ve played where zerg mentality on the part of the devs occured, the players in this game are quite helpful. Usually (maybe 90% of the time) if they see you downed, they will (attempt) to revive you, and then help you kill the surrounding mobs. It’s really a good feeling to see such helpfulness (despite my headless chicken comment).

Even if the vendor just bought the stuff for a few silver a piece that would be good. I’ve got almost 5 stacks of blade shards and they are just sitting here taking up space…

fadeaway.2807:

Can I suggest a mini taimi available to all with a portion of profits going to a multiple sclerosis related charity?

I like this idea better.

While I was definitely touched by Christina’s thread, I think that giving her a special mini would set a bad trend. What about all the MS sufferers that might be playing the game that don’t make a post like this? Or what about cancer patients or someone dying of Leukemia?

I know that’s a bit hyperbolish, but I just wanted to bring that up.

First time I saw Taimi I was like: “OMG SHES SO CUTE” and I wish I could ride a big golem like that. I didn’t know she was disabled though. That’s really cool that you would put in such a character.

Also that pregnant woman who got whiney with you, that’s just pathetic. Pregnancy isn’t a disability even if it might feel like one. Absolutely terrible.

Also I had made the new backpack with my engineer in mind, that only reason why I made the thing really…

I like some of the kit designs, like the chem pack and the flame thrower, but the others look like they ran out of ideas when they came to them.

I think we should all blame the Living Fanfic for Engineers getting the drive shaft all the time.

And as much as I dislike nearly all the cosmetic stuff on the cash shop, I would still by kit/turret skins off it.

I would be happy if the Engineer kits weren’t gigantic on every race except Asura. It probably doesn’t look so bad on male characters but on human females it looks like they are carrying half a refrigerator box on their back. If they were reduced by at least 25% I think it wouldn’t look so bad.

Understandable, but in another thread someone had made a thread about why the name Gray was blocked, and she got it unblocked or poked some GM or something to do it…

It doesn’t matter now though, I used the name Owlchaser instead which I like quite well. >.>

So I wanted to make a Norn necro with the surname of Owlsdottir (female obviously), but unfortunately it trips the word filter because OMG it has LSD in the name. >.<

So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas along that line that sounds good? I tried for over an hour to think something up but the best I could do was Owlseer, which just doesn’t do it for me like the above mentioned.

Sadly, I noticed that last night when I was submitting a ticket… >.< I still submitted it though, maybe they will give me a pass, because I really like that for a surname.

Yeah I tried using the name Anska Owlsdottir and it gave me the same message… doesn’t really make sense to me. Owls + dottir shouldn’t be banned. My other norn has the last name of Sinasdottir. And it wasn’t the first name that produced the error message cause I tried three different first names. >.<

Yeah, the halloween event was a big joke. If you’re level 80 you’re probly good to go… but if youre not and you want to partake in the dungeon… well. Sucks to be you.

If this game had a subscription, I wouldnt be playing. I think Anet needs to revisit the events from their first game. Those were way more fun.

I dont get my kicks out of nearly naked cartoon characters (lol)… that’s not to say however, that I want my character covered from head to toe. I like the way most of the armour looks in-game. Except for the amount of female bellies and chests showing…
“lets show off the two parts that should be protected the most!”

I would however, love to have someway of removing the ridiculous bloomers from some of the skirts that light armour has… like make them a part of the boots, so I can wear some other boot skin. >.>

Qbix: I’m surprised you didnt just tell me to l2pnwb out right.

Perhaps you missed the part where I mentioned 2 or more Brutes chaining their stuns? How long does a stun last? At least 2 seconds.

Helps if you read the whole post instead of telling me how to learn to get better. Also the OP wasnt saying reduce the amount of mobs (you had to read successive posts), but to make them tougher.

I stick by my belief that there was no thought put into the mob types.

I hate confirmation windows for everything.

You know one of the few things Trion did right with Rift? Putting in a full-price refund on items. If you buy an item from a merchant, you can – within 5 minutes – sell the item back for full price. Note though that if you used part of a consumable, you wouldnt get the full price, and if it was an item that was bind on equip, that too cancelled the full refund option.

Also I find it completely unreasonable that you cant sell (to a merchant) or salvage certain karma reward items.

My problem with Anets handling of the mobs isnt so much the numbers, but the fact that they all seem to be melee, with a smattering of… rangers here and there. I cant remember having ever encountered a mesmer or a elementalist mob.

So when you get into a fight with say, 4 bandits, they ALL have thief skills, so they chain Steal. Which is extremely frustrating. Or Risen Brutes that all use 2h mauls and just pound away on you with stuns.

There was no thought put into the mobs at all by my estimation. “Melee mobs for all! lol”

I wish they would make it so that keys dropped instead of the chests. I would sell the keys in an instant, but I keep the chest on the off chance I get keys. >.>

I would like the OPTION to not have the facial tattoos… there’s at least two tattoos that I really like, but they are completely ruined (for me), by the addition of tattoos on the face.

The first one is the “stockings” and “sleeves” with all the stars, the splattering of stars on the cheek ruins it.

The second is the one that has the Celtic knotwork on the arms and shoulders and the out-of-place slashes across the face.

This could simply be achieved by adding in two tattoo option to character creation that are of the above designs, but don’t have the facial tattoo parts.

Thank you

Hairstyle Column 1, Row 3.
I think this hairstyle has been fixed as for the clipping, at least I didn’t notice that it was flowing through the face and body when my character stops. However it is still hanging inside the body itself.

The “easy” fix would be to shorten the length so that it ends just above the shoulders, instead of hanging to the middle of the back.

Also, please fix hairstyle Column 1, Row 1 (the “Canthan” hairstyle). This one is really distracting when the hair and ribbons goes flying through the body and face of the character on hard stops.

Not horrifyingly important, but could we please have a Sylvan Hound mini-pet? If there is some reason why not, then I understand.

I was somewhat disappointed when I found out that the glyphic pistols and shotguns were all BLAM BLAM instead of like PEW PEW or something.

I know it might be a bit of work to re-rig the sounds so that they fire differently based on weapon skin, but it would be really cool if the glyphic firearms didnt sound like they were using buckshot.

Also it would be very fitting, since I think all the other ground items you find around Metrica have zapping sounds.
