Guild Wars 2

Oh, it was most likely not a coincidence (very few things actually are), but the fact remains that an area (which is actually better than the Airship) existed months before the destruction of Lion’s Arch, and it is fully possible to get the same things in other places even without the pass.

msalakka.4653:

]Yes, but the Royal Terrace item was permanent. The Captain’s whatever pass was a temporary 2-week one.

There was a permanent pass sold for the airship as well (and it also dropped as far as I remember).

Just like how there were both temporary and permanent version of the Terrace pass.

What is nightcapping?
Your night is the middle of the day for others.

oneply.9586:

EotM release was before my time.
What was the rage even about? was it legit? did they do anything to compensate this?

They had semi-open beta for EotM where guilds could apply for access. Said beta went on for quite some time, and rather many things changed based on the feedback.

When the map was released (with the changes made due to feedback) people raged like mad about how that was not what they wanted at all and that it was the worst thing ever and that ArenaNet are useless and can’t do anything at all right. Despite them doing exactly what people in the beta said.

You are aware that the Rytlock story is very likely tied to the Point of No Return, right?

oneply.9586:

i will never understand Devs then….why so much time is wasted on the minority of gamers….
and idk if more people are PvPing in the last few weeks. i see ALOT of the same names over and over again.

Because if they didn’t we would have no updates for anything other than PvE, since both WvW and PvP are minorities.

They did spend a year or so on Edge of the Mists, and what did that get them? Just more rage and hatred.

sorudo.9054:

so i can do 12 PvE specific dialies?

You couldn’t do that with the old system either.
In fact you couldn’t even do enough to get the 10 APs you get from doing 3 out of 4(12) now, back during that system by only doing PvE.

cristian.8213:

I never said other people are wrong.
Perhaps my words are minsunderstood since english isn’t my main language.

But then again why are you complaining I complain? What’s the point.

You posted multiple times and said that you didn’t understand why people didn’t agree with you. That is (at least as far as I understand it) more or less saying that people that don’t agree with you are wrong.

cristian.8213:

Yes it’s subjective. So? May I?

I agree the ideas for new back skins thread would be more supportive.
But that’s not my point, I wanted to know people’s opinion on back item skins.

And yet when people came up with other opinions than your own they were wrong. So it sounds more along the lines of you simply wanting to complain a bit rather than wanting an actual constructive discussion.

30 people out of several millions. That is a very very very very small sample.

I usually see more people with backpacks than without.

Liz.1497:

So you’re denying that 90% of the backpiece skins are largely (if not literally) unused? I mean clearly I must have gone and enforced my own taste on (nearly) everyone in the game. I am Abbadon reborn! Bow to me peasant!

Where do you even get all these numbers from? Or are you just making up a random high number to make it seem bad?

Unless you have actually seen all the potentially 3+ million accounts (and all their characters) in-game you can have a grand total of no idea how many of back pack skins are used or not, so stop shouting about it as facts.

sorudo.9054:

i don’t play PvP, regardless of form.
it’s PvE or nothing, still enough options?

Should they really build the game around people that for some arbitrary reason decide to not play the full game?

Going by that logic they should allow people to finish the daily by just sitting around in the home instance.

Liz.1497:

an artistic angle. Balance, silhouette, texture, how well it matches the other items ingame, how much it appeals to certain target groups. The same way comic sans isn’t a nice font and Helvetica is.

And who are you to decide that?

Some people find Picasso’s work to be great, while others consider it absolute rubbish. Why should one opinion be more correct than the other?

I would say that the majority of the back packs actually look quite nice in situations. It is far more than 10% at the very least.

runeblade.7514:

People don’t duel for 1v1 balance. They duel for fun.

1v1 balance is moot because no one really cares about it. Which MMO with dueling has perfect 1v1 balance?

Except that people will complain and rage about balance if such a thing is added. We already have threads about how X or Y professions are OP. How many more of those won’t we get if people start comparing them in 1v1?

It is also rather interesting that you claim that no one cares about it. So what is the point?
Why do something that you would basically more or less automatically lose because the enemy have a profession that is better at countering your profession than your profession is at countering theirs?

I could most likely find skins that would fit every profession in the game in that gallery as well.

Just with some quick checking of the gallery I found these skins that I would say work rather well with warrior:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fires_of_Balthazar_Skin
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mist_Herald_Back_Item_Skin
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Savage_Guild_Back_Banner_Skin
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Quiver_of_Swift_Flight (and all the other quivers).

cristian.8213:

Yes I have tried all of them. It’s just my opinion, it’s ugly.
I still don’t understand why people don’t agree with me.
I have played many mmo’s and never seen such ugly back item skins like Guild Wars 2.

Have you really tried all 100+ back skins…?

That is just the thing with opinions. People have different ones.

msalakka.4653:

Perhaps the tag price could be lowered to something like 100g, but you’d have to unlock its use in each game mode. For instance, you could buy it with 100g on day one, should you want to, but you could not actually activate the tag in WvW unless you had accumulated rank 600, and even then you could only tag up in WvW; if you wanted also to tag up in PvE, you’d have to do whatever the PvE equivalent of rank points would be.

Sucks to be on the lower tier servers that usually don’t have that many “hardcore” WvW players then. Since they will basically be unable to have tagged commanders most of the time.

Rank-point/time-spent/whatever does not have anything at all to do with being good at commanding.

Someone that have just started playing could easily be better at commanding than someone that have played for years.

I for one would probably be rather bad at commanding, despite having played more or less daily since release.

RNG, I would say.

I have opened stacks of gifts without getting something special, and then opening 5 more and get something special from each of them.

xxXLightningXxx.8476:

Just hope there won’t be another long break :S

That is probably to be expected though.
Keep in mind that it take weeks if not months to complete each episode.

People need to keep in mind that the game is being balanced around 5v5.

That means that 1v1 fights will either always be unbalanced, or they will kitten up the 5v5 balance in order to satisfy all the raging about how unbalanced 1v1 is, which will make the regular PvP:ers rage about kittening up the balance.

It was adjusted due to it becoming account-bound instead of character-bound as it was at release.

Tying commander tag acquisition to WvW progress would work. IF tags were only used in WvW. That is however not the case, and there are multiple places in PvE where tags are more or less required in order to succeed.

msalakka.4653:

The whole point of the taxes is to create another gold sink in the game in order to sell gems.

I never understood this line of thinking.
In fact I would say it is completely the opposite.
Without good gold sinks in the game you would HAVE to buy gold for gems in order to get the stuff you want, unless you play several hours a day.

heartless.6803:

Over all, the new changes has been mostly negatively received. New player experience, got a lot of negative feedback. The new trait system is simply put, awful. The new daily and monthly system is lackluster and provides less choice then before.

I’m really not understanding what anet is thinking with these choices. They say they want to provide more choice and options but the changes do the opposite and limit choices and options.

You are assuming that people that like the changes would bother creating forum-threads about it. That is usually not the case. People that are unhappy are much more likely to post.

You also assume that people on the forums actually speaks for the majority of the players.

Based on what I have seen in-game more people seem to like (or be indifferent to) the changes rather than dislike them.

Miss Pink Floyd.9730:

I am PVE only, NOTHING will get me into PVP, it just does not have any interest to me, never has, never will. So I guess I will never get the daily again. This was not a good idea at all.

So, it is not a good idea because you for some arbitrary reason refuse to play the whole game?

Should they really develop the game around people that refuses to do something that is not a specific part of the game?

What about people that only want to do Fractals? Should they develop around those as well? Or people that only want to WvW? Or PvP for that matter?

One click = One action is basically the rules.

Aye, CS is short for Customer Support, so it is indeed the support.

Skill #2 is unlocked once you reach level two. So basically as soon as you finish the intro instance.

We don’t know.
We only know that he disappeared a bunch of episodes back when trying to cleanse Ascalon from the Foefire Curse.

The pictures are from teasers posted by ArenaNet on twitter/facebook.

Support can be contacted by pressing the Support button in the Services tab on the top right of the forums.

sorudo.9054:

so my level 21 can both beat a champion in lvl kitten areas and go to a vista/harvest in orr?
or what about the 2X fractures, good luck doing that with a lvl 21…..

Possible not (except with Fractals, seeing as those upscale you, so technically you can do it at lvl 2).

But that doesn’t mean you can’t do it.
Both WvW and PvP is fully possible, and level matter rather little (not at all in PvP) in there.

It won’t.
December was the last month with Monthlies.

With the launch of this new system, December will be the last month to include monthly achievements.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/introducing-the-new-daily-achievement-system/

Nope.
Characters are bound to accounts. If they were not it would create all sorts of issues with people selling characters and so on.

Nope, you cannot transfer characters between accounts.

Azhure.1857:

@ OP — All forum posters, regardless of in game activity, are capable of both constructive and unconstructive posts.

One could of course question if someone that have not played for a year would be able to post constructive stuff about the current state of the game, seeing as they are clearly not up to date about what the current state of the game actually is.

Calafalass.3486:

So best 250 pvp players will get it ok, we know that but what if someone already have it? Its account bound or is sellable?

Gm’s this question is special for u <3

Sorry for bad English

The Lama is account-bound.

Lupanic.6502:

best 250 will get it? I guessed it was top 100.

he top-ranked players on the ladder in each region will earn the following prizes:
Top 250: Mini Llama
Top 20: One piece of Glorious Hero’s armor
Top 5: Two pieces of Glorious Hero’s armor

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/introducing-the-wintersday-competitive-event-schedule/

Yes, you can (and it is 7 episodes before not 5).

Rebound.3409:

Looks like another cliffhanger

Based on a minute-long teaser? Really?

All you can do is wait for reply from support I would say.

Something that could be the issue is that the account was accessed nearly a year ago by someone else, since as far as I remember they do rollback it to the point before the first confirmed unauthorized login.

There might of course also simply be a mistake, so yeah, waiting for answer from support is really the only thing that can be done.

If there have been 3 days or more since last reply I suggest posting the ticket number in this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/Tickets-for-Review-3-days-older-Part-2-merged/page/33#post4664656

Except that the only thing you actually have to pay for is the instanced story parts (which can also be bypassed by joining someone else doing them, or simply buy gems with gold). The new areas and such is completely free for everyone that owns the game. The vast majority of the content released have been part of the world rather than part of the instanced story.

Tom Gore.4035:

By the way, no Rytlock in the trailer, despite of being teased earlier in his new armor…

To be fair Rytlock have been teased for months, even before multiple other Episodes that said nothing at all about it.

Were your account accessed by anyone other than you?

1 or 2 out of 12? Or 1 or 2 out of the 4 you have decided to limit yourself to?

sorudo.9054:

no, dailies that can be done regardless of level, or enough dailies that levels don’t matter.

That is already the case.
You can easily complete the three needed dailies, regardless of what level your character is.

sorudo.9054:

and how does that make that any better?
if i play with a lvl 21 character i should have lvl 21 dailies, not dailies for my max character.
it’s common sense, you’re not gonna use gas in a diesel powered car just because you have a gas car in the garage.
ether the daily designer was drunk when designing this system or is simply kitten.

So you basically want a specific set of dailies for every single possible level for every character on the account..?

It is indeed the wiki. Said wiki is also directly linked to from the main page.

Having all the information you request in your OP on the main page would probably not work all that well, seeing as there is massive amounts of information that would be needed for all that. In many situations when it comes to website design less is more.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Living_World

And the circle continues.

Either people complain that they don’t hype it enough, or they complain about hyping it too much.
Has there ever been a teaser where people have actually been happy about it?
