Guild Wars 2

Staff as main weapon – Throwing-type kit-like Utility Skills sounds plausible.

Arrow.4619:

Just curious – everyone is assuming this is the art for the elite specialization. There were two pictures that are not currently in use for the thief:

AND
http://i.imgur.com/rNAy4Jb.png

One would be for the new trait line and the other the accompanying new skill type. I’m not certain which is which because we’re missing important context.

I hope that ANet does not introduce a new class with a melee staff AND add staff as the specialization weapon to two other existing classes although its quite possible they will.

The second image is currently being used by Thief. It’s the Deadly Arts specialisation line.

Wait… where are these numbers coming from?

My level 80 ranger with exotic full zerk gear except for rare soldiers spine and ascended zerk trinkets only gets 1890 precision and a 46.38% crit chance! Where the heck are 79%+ figures obtained?

There, I’ve highlighted why you’re not getting as high as precision as I am! =)

Below is a screenshot of my stats with my Shortbow (ascended at 82%) and my Dagger/Pistol (legendary only 70% but celestial giving a health boost to me).

I also have Full Assassin’s Gear rather than Zerker, plus [Signet of Agility]. I can’t be certain if you can get this high on ranger or not, because I don’t recall a Precision sigil.

I didn’t lose any Crit Chance myself. I was at 79% before the patch, 82% after the patch.

Yes, and if you read what I said, my comment was that they don’t do anything unless it affects their bottom line.

I did read, and it’s still not true. I know of one player who was banned for 3 days for an inappropriate name 24 hours after they purchased gems, albeit it was a while back. That person thought they were invincible because they ‘invest’ in the game, so it was a bit of a shock to them. They have since learned their lesson of course.

But saying that ArenaNet does nothing about reports doesn’t help anyone. Firstly it discourages people from making reports in the first place, and secondly, it implies to players who do want to go around acting like jerks that it’s ok for them to do so.

That said, Guild Wars 2 is probably the best community in the MMO universe, and it’s seldom that a report is actually needed anyway, which may be why some players think nothing gets done!

The good thing about Guild Wars 2 is, anyone can play it, whether they can afford a sub fee or not.

It was mentioned just before Tuesday’s release that the 189 extra Hero Points you’ll have left over after doing map completion will be tradable for something when HoT comes out.

Guild Wars 2 was marketed to be different to other MMOs partially by not having a sub. If you thought the uproar over the HoT Price and free base game was huge, imagine what it would be like to lock people out of the game with a sub!

Your best option is to report and block them, but it’s best to understand that the “report” part is going to do absolutely nothing. Anet only jumps when it affects their income.

Again, not true.

I don’t see a red tag on your name.

Erm.. never claimed to have had one. I don’t even have a commander tag in-game.

Earlier in this thread if you care to scroll up in reply to someone else saying they never do anything:

They do, people come back from bans complaining of breaches of their ‘human right to free speech’ and post in the account support section of this forum complaining that they’ve been banned for things like ‘inappropriate language’

:)

Monk’s Outfit out now on The Gem Store. I already threw my gems at the screen for this!

was no announcement on the website? Also there’s usually more than just one outfit.

New dyes available too. Though the lack of it being on the news section of the main website was still puzzling.

MarkoNS.3261:

but honestly anet wont ban anyone from verbal assault reports

Commissar needs two things:

1) More Health.
2) More time between the Pre-Events and the spawning of The Main Event.

This is a lot simpler than the idea of the buffs as mentioned above I think.

Dreavian.8340:

I for one, will never buy something until 1) More information about what I am spending my money on is released, and 2) An actual release date is announced.

Could you imagine Mercedes saying “Hey guys, we are working on a new car that’s gonna be awesome, here’s a quick pick of the driver side tire… on our website you can pre-purchase the care for $100,000 or $200,000 for the deluxe version of the car that has more than one tire”

People would lose their collective mind, there would be huge controversy.

By the same token though, when your favourite band is ready to release a new album, we don’t know the full content of that album either, yet we still buy them.

Umut.5471:

I think all maps after this date, must be compatible with gliders.
Actually they can allow it on older maps too. As an easy fix, they can make gliders force-close themselves if users try to fly over jumping puzzles. Or they can somehow redesign jumping puzzles to be compatible with gliders. It can be boring if they only work on maguuma just because of these jumping puzzles.

Oh, is that all?

Wouldn’t say any of that is an ‘easy fix’ I’m afraid

Shadow Behemoth only comes out at night.

Jae.5138:

To me this shows that the community is just desperate to complain about anything at all.

But you’re complaining about people complaining!!

However, I think you need to understand that Guild Wars 2 and this other game are two different entities entirely. Two different communities, where perhaps some have played both, some have played one, some have played the other.

You’re post suggests that all Guild Wars 2 players (or at least those that complained about the DH name) have played this other game, and it’s not the case. We can’t really use other games as a comparison for this case.

Whereas I agree that it looks like melee staff (still hoping but not certain!) I doubt that because there was a data mined costume leaked somewhere, that the Specialisation will actually be called a Monk. It can still happen, but I doubt it.

After all, how many of us managed to buy a Dragonhunter or a Chronomancer outfit so far?

Maybe i just think they would be stupid not to listen to alot of thier theif players, lots of people want either dual sword or rifle mostly.

Or greatsword….

Or Staff…..

Achey.3612:

i have chochobo but i’d settle for at least 30 dollars. i know it’s a late thread but…. maaaan…. i like gw2 but i can’t afford to pay 50 bucks for each expansion :T and i don’t want to wait like… 3 years to get the expansion for 10 dollars…. you know?

Stop making your micro transactions you said you’ve made lots of, and you’ll have saved the extra 20 dollars in no time.

Over 50,000 Damage. Against what? An ambient? o.o

Hopefully the thief Elite Specialisation will come out of stealth, and be [Revealed] soon™

But, still no news yet. I’ve been on the edge of my seat for weeks now!

/facepalms this post.

I’m not sure running lotteries is allowed on the official forums.

Jaq.6829:

The only thing you can do with them is destroy them. That is hardly fair to all those little Ravens.

Yes ArenaNet – please think of the Ravens and make them either drop less, Mystic Forge-able, or Sellable. These poor ravens need a home somewhere!

Kadsik.9281:

3. thieves are not monks -_-

I think you need to think outside the box a little. By the looks of it, you’re thinking Monks as in Guild Wars 1 monks, but monks don’t have to be just that.

Can’t remember what game it was, but there was one that I tried where the monk was not the same style as a GW1 Monk, was more a brawler type, martial artist without weapons, or perhaps knuckle dusters.

I am so hopeful that it will be Melee staff. Also, if it is staff, doesn’t mean that the elite spec for thief will be called Monks, just because a Monk Outfit was data mined.

Reminds me of that old prank I used to do as a teenager – super-glue a £1 coin to a floor, seeing everyone walking trying to pick it up! Maybe that’s what they’re doing?

They are an adorable pair of rascals. I hope there will be some future backstory to these.

I’m not sure if I’m worried or not being near that crooked tavern. But I am worried for the welfare of that dog being chased by a cat!

Ganking pve’ers would make me soooooo happy.

This is the reason why it’ll never happen.

People who PvE could just not go in it.

It’s not the ganking part I’m referring to, it’s the motives behind why people want it. Labelling people ‘PvE-ers’ as if they hold people who play a certain way with contempt, and then wanting to laugh to themselves as they stomp them or whatever, as if PvE-ers are lesser gamers than they are.

Most of the game, especially the PvE part, is an open-world co-operative game. It should stay that way.

its sad that the magic find don’t work very well i boosted my up to 308%
but stile after so many world bosses i only get blue and green items and a spoon -.-

Magic Find doesn’t change what you get from a World Boss. It only affects drops from mobs, plus PvP Reward Chests.

SlyFoxSays.5342:

1 legendary pre and nothing else of note.

How many pre-cursors are you entitled to by now? Some of us have not had any yet, despite the hours we’ve put in (I have a lot!).

MF is mostly for Exotic & Rares. Perhaps you’re not spending enough time killing mobs to notice a change, but since the account bound change came into place, my exotic and rare items drop rate have increased tremendously, and I’m only at 175% Magic Find.

See if you can buy shares in NCSoft?

Yppah.2157:

Tybalt’s one of the dragons you’ll fight.

I have reliable sources within the hierarchy of Anet.

Virtually everything I would have said has already been said about why I would vote no on this issue.

I will add to the previously mentioned points that if you notice, every single Dynamic Event that surrounds children (Such as Kari in Kessex Hills or the Cubs in Plains of Ashford) do not have the possibility of an NPC child dying, and for good reason.

The last thing I want to see is a child PC (whether mine or someone else’s) in the defeated state. I’m almost certain this wouldn’t be a 12+ game by then.

This is of course, in addition to all the other reasons people have already said.

Tanith.5264:

they didn’t just pop up overnight in response to current events.

+1 especially for this bit.

Why is it only a problem now, OP?

I agree, whereas I don’t mind the new shape, the colour didn’t need to change. Keep the icon, but paint it blue please ArenaNet!

It’s threads like these the reason why more LGBT guilds are needed, not less.

VaLee.5102:

They could leave story sections out. And I’m refering to test servers for general patches, not for expansions. Once an expansion is out, then update the test servers for it aswell.

So, have a test server for some stuff, but have other things in the normal servers as it is before? Then I don’t see the point in having test servers I’m afraid, sorry.

I think that taking a Temple should have a reward. Defending a temple successfully should have a greater reward, to stop people claiming ownership of an event over other players.

What about spoilers?

Is this thread seriously happening? o.o

In Heart of Thorns we will be the mounts – as in, gliders on our back as we glide down as their mount.

Other than that, no.

anet ur the king of destroying playstyles that have nothing wrong with them

count this as my goodbye post im never coming back to this game anet doesnt want to balance the game if they did they wouldnt do these major rehaul patches that brought balance back to square kittening 1 again instead of doing minor tweeks monthly

Well, see you I guess. /shrug

(p.s. if you reply to this, you’ve not really gone..)

I miss Ricochet but I wouldn’t go so far as to say thief is ruined.

Nutjob.9021:

Assassin’s Reward gives 3 (count them!) THREE health (according to the trait listing itself)

Are you looking at the tooltip in a downscaled zone, such as Queensdale, at level 80?

They’re teenagers now, studying at school like they should be!

I think we’ve officially ran out of things to talk about now
