Guild Wars 2

A.Net said that they won’t release race-specific armor anytime soon and I think this also means that they won’t customize skins like that for specific races, it is too much work for them by the looks of it, which is sad. Charrs in general seem to be more a burden for a.net (no cloaks because of the charr running animation, creating armors for them being a pain in the kitten, … )

Maybe go on another server?

Paulytnz.7619:

Farm keys via the lvl 10 quest if you really want/need them. 1 run can take 30-40 mins solo and a lot quicker if doing with friends. Find a guide or look on youtube they are out there.

More like 19-30mins. And playing it with friends doesn’t usually speed up the process, their loading times slow you down most of the times, especially when you use kitten and your friend doesn’t.

Paulytnz.7619:

Having the Deluxe game or whatever it’s called really helps too as you can access your gear (bank) right from the start of the game.

eh? this means all deluxe edition accounts newly created characters will have a golem banker (5 days) ???

Yup

I’d love to post some but I am at work right now. All I can say that Orr, especially Cursed Shore, is awesome to find hidden locations.

Mesket.5728:

Legendary items should have the Legendary Farmer tittle associated.

Why? I have a legendary and I never farmed or grinded.

Vayne.8563:

The biggest thing WoW has done to hurt the industry is to convince people that better gear is required for a good RPG. The fact that so many people have bought into that illusion has destroyed the chance of any decent MMO coming out in the future.

I read Lord of the Rings a whole bunch of times. I think each person upgraded once. They still had to save Middle Earth.

When RPGs are about gear instead of story or just getting into your character, they should no longer be called RPGs.

Yeah today RPG means rising numbers and people actually seem to need to see a progression. It is a sad state.

Dawdler.8521:

Most people with high achievement points probably exploited infinite salvage more than anything else. Basicly, you pay for the points. Just like Anet wants.

But those are capped at like 200 APs.

CE Price + ~70€ for gems since release.

Korval.3751:

Says the 1% elitist jerk…

The game is full of easy content so what would be the problem with difficult content once in a while?

What kind of mounts? Moas? Too small. Dolyak? Too slow. Horses? I have never seen one in the game since GW1.
Did I miss something?

locoman.1974:

Logan will meet Rox and fall in love with her and leave Queen Jenna, Jenna kills everyone in the pavillion Carrie style, the pavillion becomes a new permanent dungeon with Queen Jenna as the final boss..

I’d love to see Jenna dropping her loot ;D

ba bum tss

Ommu.1649:

Be prepared for endless Claw of Jormag farming sessions. Nobody will touch the dragon, only farming the champs.

Oh my god that will be awesome >:)

It’s funny to see how often exploiters like to stop the progression of an event. First the Champion Giant Risen in the Cursed Shores, now the champions at the Claw event…

ArenaNet needs to realize that dealing with the symptom is useless when you have to amputate – they should just ban the exploiters. This will, sooner or later, fix the issue.

I seriously think you need to be playing farmville or bubble pop or do some colouring in.

He is right, though.

kishter.9578:

The world is tormented by Dragons, Undead and just GOD know what more sleep in Underworld and Fissure Of Woe, YAY lest have another festival content.

What next Dev birthday patch?

And Tyria is not affected by any of those problems right now

Uhm, I don’t care.Why should this make me feel anything? This dungeon, especially those 2 Farmpaths are extremely boring.

Yes they fear what we might say. blabla

darkace.8925:

What part of the upcoming update makes you think people are going to return to Orr instead of just running circuits through the five easy-to-kill champions in Queensdale?

Basically this. Farmgroups that will run in circuits and maybe even guest on low pop servers to make their farming even more effective. This will lead to a nerf either to the guesting feature or the added loot.

How should WE know it?

This sounds awesome

Legendary weapons

Viking Jorun.5413:

The ones before Dulfy started getting head-start access and ruining the Christmas morning effect of new releases. Don’t give me the, “You don’t HAVE to use Dulfy,” because you inherently hear it from other people. If she were to hold off on her guides for 3 days after each patch perhaps it’d replenish that great feeling of a new patch and new content.

But the money is more important than a healthier community.

Parlourbeatflex.5970:

Im glad to see DR getting some much needed love. Im gonna hope that more perma stuff is added to it, something like that Crown Pavilion and a minigame wont cut the mustard though… would love to see something that might bring me back to DR on a regular basis, among many other players. If crown pavilion is nothing more than a instance im going to be disappointed.

Uhm and what about the other cities?

Kryptonite.9376:

so everyone (including yourself) can level as quickly and efficiently as possible?

Why would you want to do that? It’s not that much content you are missing out if you are not level 80 (2 Dungeons and 2-3 Areas)

Why would you ever want to speed up the development of your character ?

- improved Home Instance
- Mursaat
- the next Dragon or at least the knowledge which one will be the next
- GW1 Fissure of Woe Armors (we have the Shards, we have the Globs!)
- Area specific rare Skins, like in GW1 ( Serpent Axe, Magma’s Shield, …)
- more Emotes

I said that since people starting to “farm” those events and now A.Net made it even easier to farm them via a timeschedule.

It is a shame that most of the mmo fansites will throw those prints away. I’d love to get them ;_;

So uhm what skills would the rifle have?

Arkham Creed.7358:

Can we get this in English please? Might make up for how godawful our trailer was.

I loved all those trailers that came right before a big convention.

Even the chinese release trailer isn’t as awesome as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OyHwqokkKk, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjCehYrEbO0 or all those small videos we got for the profession reveals.

Oxstar.7643:

Rift has stunbreakers as well, so that particular argument has been debunked already.

Didn’t know Rift has a dogding mechanic.

Debunked, lol…

Im Mudbone.1437:

Dulfy guide says Plant slayer takes the longest time to do but I call BS, you need 1000 of these as well and that’s stupid as kitten since all there are is 3 of them kitteners.

Maybe you should post that feedback on her page, not here.

I don’t think we will be able to get that.

No, thanks. It’s to some degree still a rpg.

Conncept.7638:

That thread is incorrect, the crossing is crafted from mats that dropped during halloween, it was not an RNG drop.

We are not talking about the PvE Version

Conncept.7638:

However, I do not believe you can craft it in PvP.

It was a random drop in PvP.

But the color defines the rarity.

Elbegast.6970:

Looks to be another very bland content patch.

I was unaware that adding a new area in DR (Reperation in the Great Divide is underway) With easy access to everything ,

“Unlimited” salvaging ,
New weapon and armors ,
Treasure hunting ,
Guild message of the day (something people wanted since release)
PvP Dishonorable + Leaderboard ,
Game optimization , the ability to limit particule effects (something people wanted since release) ,
LFG tool ,

Was bland .

New district in DR does nothing for me. I never go to DR. They could add a “Flying Unicorn” Vendor to DR and I would not go.

“Unlimited Salvaging” …is nothing but a gimmick that will cost you more than it will save. Think of it more like “Emergency Salvage” rather than “Unlimited Salvage”. Because that is truly all it is.

“GMotD and PvP Dishonorable/Leaderboards” – I don’t join guilds and the only PvP I like is solo roaming WvW.

“Treasure Hunting”…is going to be as abysmal as “Archaeology” was to WoW.

“Game Optimizations” Seriously, go buy a gaming rig and stop playing on a laptop. That’s what I have to say for graphics optimizations.

“LFG Tool” – I don’t run group dungeons/fractals. As a matter of fact, I don’t group up at all.

So yeah….nothing for me in those notes.

Hey, you play the wrong genre. You should play singleplayer RPGs not massively multiplayer online RPGs.

It’s kind of a shame that people like you aren’t a minority anymore and shape the direction of mmorpgs..

Yeah and there is no way that this could be a charr. The mouth is way too small.

Sorry I couldn’t find the english version of this picture for the upcoming event.

https://d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/6b07b8-6_QJ_NextHero_DE.jpg

It says “more coming soon”.

That creature looks really strange, do you guys have any idea what this thing could be?

I also uploaded a picture with a higher contrast, so that you can see what’s in the background, kinda reminds me of Divinity’s Reach.

Venirto.4208:

Vol.5241:

Just remember guys to #VoteEvon

Voting for Evon results in cheaper BL keys for the next four weeks. So if you buy gems with real $ you get the best bang for your buck. And if you buy gems with gold, you should convert now.

But in 2 weeks time you will need 5 tickets for single weapon. 50 chests? No thanks, even if the key price was reduced by 50% I would still not consider it worth to buy.

Btw, why are you defending these rng chests so much?

But they removed the rng factor. You have to read the update notes.

Looks like the pve “crowd” is the only one that needs to be spoonfed . Both WvW tokens and pvp-weapons can be turned into gold.

Erasculio.2914:

Vol.5241:

Venirto.4208:

@TriggerSad: You will need 5 tickets if you want to buy it after this event.

Aetherblade weapon skins have been added to the Black Lion Weapon Specialist. For two weeks only, Aetherblade weapon skins cost only one Black Lion Claim Ticket! After August 5, Aetherblade weapon skins will cost their regular price of 5 Black Lion Claim Tickets. All Aetherblade weapon skins are soulbound on use and can be traded until used.

Really, “only” one ticket? Was it ever more than one? Also, the addition of the ticket scraps might help the players to eventually get the weapon but on the other hand it forces them to buy at least 10 keys (if they’re lucky), what makes the skin cost minimum 900 gems.

And the better alternative is the old one, where you could buy 10 keys and end up with nothing at all?

The new system being sligthly better than the old one doesn’t mean it’s good. The current system rewards the grinders/exploiters who have a lot of gold and can make more by just flipping the new skins in the TP (no wonder a certain someone is defending it). If the skins were untradeable but sold directly in the Gem Store, instead of being available through RNG boxes, it would be a more honest system and people would still have the option to trade gold for Gems, while still giving more money to ArenaNet than if the main way to acquire the skins is by paying TP exploiters.

Or you take 20 minutes each day and farm a key. kitten , you guys will never stop to complain.

Kilandros.2098:

Stealth for Ranger is an AWESOME addition.

But why wasn’t it put on SB?

Already extremely defensive?

Aw, too bad. Thanks for the answer.

After aquiring a minipet can I sell it again without losing they achievementprogess?

TheAmpca.1753:

Both of these are worth 10 Achievement points. Why??

I really think some of the harder achieves should grant you more points, especially the WvW ones.

Because you don’t follow dev posts and now we are supposed to spoonfed you with informations?

Fox Reeveheart.1890:

Infact it’s ANTI-fun.

It’s funny how always the achievements/activities that are a little kittenallenging and actually require you to group up are not only anti-fun but ANTI-fun. Why do you guys keep using that as a strawman?
We got it you want easy and mindless content no reason to hide that behind the word “fun”

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

an option to use the old login menu would be very nice.

We had that option for a while but they disabled that too

Oh yeah.. time to win “dungeon” runs with those 3 professions.

AcidicVision.5498:

ZudetGambeous.9573:

It was easier to make that way to make the continuous 2 week deadlines they are trying to keep up with.

Two months. There are multiple live teams working in alternating two month iterations. This doesn’t count the team working on larger updates that get rotated in and the core team that deals with the other areas of the game that are not event related.

Nice attitude you have there though.

Maybe he works as a project manager and knows what he’s talking about! ;D

We got a new set of canthan weapons with the dragon bash.

They are fine.
With dedication you can get around 380 achievementpoints each month only by doing dailies and monthlies.

penatbater.4710:

Maybe they have a wheel-of-fortune thing in their office and whatever gets chosen gets nerfed =/

Uhm they have a custom-made keyboard for that. At least that’s what they used in GW1
