Guild Wars 2

I think I disagree to an extent with the OP – Yes, they’ve added a lot of NPE to the game, especially with the September Feature pack.

But I think with a lot of the content, especially the Dry Top, Silverwastes and Living World Season 2 story has been for Veteran AND Loyal players. They’ve also done little things to help us vets more than we may realise, such as making Karma account bound, the wallet system, Black Lion Tickets etc.

I think coming from a Roleplay perspective, in character guardians would usually be too dignified to use firearms.

I’m against getting new races for mostly the reasons ArenaNet have already said, because it would be a huge overhaul (An entire city, new storyline etc) at very little skill difference. But also because we already have five playable races, which is four more than we got in Guild Wars 1

I would however, endorse new racial tonics. Particularly Tengu & Largos tonics!

While I can see where you’re coming from, I would hate Tengu tonics. As many resources as adding them as a race it might take, I really want to have a Tengu city and a Tengu storyline. A Tengu tonic would greatly diminish the chance of that ever happening.

I respectfully disagree as I believe that things will get added where and when ArenaNet see fit for a story to continue, not whether a tonic has come out or not!

A chance to get into the Beta Test of a game is not working for free. It’s playing a game before it’s released, without having to pay for the moment of the game you’re currently playing!

Let’s not go calling The United Nations just yet!

I did report them, but as for blocking them so they cant see me online, no that does not work.

Hmm.. something might have changed then at some point or I’ve got it wrong in the past, and if so I agree with you – you should always be shown as offline to people you block.

It’s good to hear it’s been resolved for you though.

If you are being harassed in-game, I recommend you submit a ticket to support by clicking ‘Support’ at the top of the page and explaining in detail what has been happening.

Also, since you know which two people they are, if you block them in return they will no longer be able to see when you’re online.

I’m happy and excited for the future

I’ve used both Crossover and Wine for Guild Wars 1 – Crossover was more stable with less polygon anomalies than Wine for me, but both were still quite good.

Just go out there and kill some Centaurs and Dragon minions, instead of worrying about loot and wealth. True heroes seek no reward!!

I have 21 characters, so I’ve got more of some classes than others. I’ve got at least two of every class though.

Main reason why is because I like levelling and mapping. I’ve got 19/21 at level 80 and 6 of them have 100% map completion (currently working on 7th and the first that I’ll have mapped without having to do WvW maps!!).

The two that aren’t level 80 yet I’m saving for you know what.

I’m 33.

I believe so that it still reserves it for 24 hours. However, I still recommend making sure that you have an empty slot already open before you use the name change contract, just in case and create the character as soon as feasibly possible. (Especially if it’s a traditional lore-friendly Asura name you’re using!)

RNG is BS, during the years I have played this thing has caused more headeaches then anything else.

Since launch day = 1 precursor dropped for me in the mystic forge, we are talking about weekly spending a lot of gold on this toilet. (last week I got a spear)

Otherwise I get crap, worst part is that I am even getting used to it. I am used to the fact that I don’t get a rare even in fractal 25-40.

This is not as a complained that RNG should be scrapped, just want to point out that RNG is BS. People in my guild have 2-4 of those portals in 5-6 hours. Others as myself have 0 after 20+ hours in there farming.

10,000+ Hours. Never had a drop, and I don’t care if I do or don’t.

No point in getting upset about loot, just play the game. The game is about killing bad guys, slaying dragons and saving lives, not about trying to create wealth and status!

On a positive note, at least you got one – be glad of that.

Think of all the Ancient Bones, the Skritt bags, the pieces of scrap metal, the karma, the geodes & bandit crests etc etc you have got for your time.

I was in Dry Top doing the events near [Repair Centre Waypoint] and rather than giving you a time (Because people farm at different efficiencies per hour) I can tell you that I got 114 Skritt Bags before I got the Portal.

I got the portal from a Skritt Thief event Bonus Chest.

I just used all my 328 scrolls on one character today.

/shrug.

What’s the worst that can happen? I’d actually have to play the game I paid for to get Hero Points for my other characters?

I actually wonder what people are accumulating wealth for. :s

[Mac]

I managed to get into the French client by changing language in the start up before logging in!

Edit : You can then go into options and change language back to English in-game.

I imagine the fix for Mac client will be via the Terminal in a similar manner to the streaming client fix a couple of months back, so I’ll be trying that myself. I will get into this game – I’ve got too many dishes that I want to avoid washing!!

The point of Guild Wars 2 builds were not actually designed for mass farming.

Misty.5367:

Ah well I mean anything that’s not bulky really, like made of cloth.

Hmm… made of cloth might be a bit tricky. Again, I recommend using the wardrobe to preview all the skins. You might be looking at getting an outfit more than actual armour since medium is almost always leather base.

Good luck though!

Right Click. Report. Block. Re-Name in ignore list to ‘Gold Seller’. Watch the account go ‘offline’ within an hour, and never come back.

Considering each one is a separate account, and more than likely using a different proxy and IP address, ArenaNet are dealing with them pretty well if you ask me.

You can access all available skins if you visit a bank, and click the wardrobe tab within the bank – it shows all skins whether you have them locked or unlocked, so you can preview any skin you like, and mix and match.

:)

Also, my lady-thief (and also my main RP character Aria Hannibal) I think looks stunning in the [Leather Coat]

Yeah the Lowland Burns WP you’re seeing is lower than where you are in your current map. When you get near the WP on the correct level, it’ll go away, and if you go lower than the WP, the chevron will invert to point upwards.

Oh, I don’t know then, sorry RS

Huge population watching – simple as that!

It comes down to a simple choice really when changes come:

1) Get busy changing gear slightly.
2) Get busy changing your play-style slightly.

A little bit of both won’t do any of us any harm!

Rigged.1395:

“… the way the wallet system is now, allowing all your characters access to your money without having to flip between characters and visiting banks”

“Instead of destroying an amazing wallet feature,”

Again please understand I am not advocating any kind of regressive wallet feature. I just want to be able to put the money in the SHARED bank (kinda like the guild banks, but for the personal one). For those people who love the convenience or who only have a handful of gold, you can just carry all your gold in your shared WALLET just like you are now.

You forgot what I said at the end of my post.

penelopehannibal.8947:

" Perhaps looking at the way we sell instead might be an idea? "

You can still end up making an error in selling with your suggestion.

Perhaps someone could turn this into an app? Where you have a generic text, and the * insert * bits give you drop down menus so you can mix n match different responses and reasons but all meaning the same thing – then copy & paste the results!

(p.s. joke – if someone out there knows how to create apps I’m joking!)

Sorry but I have to politely disagree. I think the way the wallet system is now, allowing all your characters access to your money without having to flip between characters and visiting banks far out-weighs the few times someone has accidentally made a Type O in the gold field.

Perhaps looking at the way we sell instead might be an idea?

Shaogin.2679:

Revenant having a legend to channel based on race would be cool, but it wouldn’t quite work the same as other professions. Such as our current ability to include a single racial ability into our build, instead of in the case of the Revenant channeling a racial legendary, where he’d be forced to take an entire bar of mostly useless racial skills.

The easiest way to implement the racial skills for Revenant is to allow racial skills to be slotted in like normal. However, the best way to implement would be to integrate those racial skills into the Revenant channeled legends as alternate options.

penelopehannibal.8947:

To be honest, I reckon they’ll just be as they are at the moment, with no change whichever legend you have equipped – unless they change racial skills for the other 8 professions as well for balance.

For example: A Norn Revenant will still be able to summon a wurm and turn into Raven just like a Norn Thief or a Norn Necromancer. Their Wurm & raven skill I reckon will only change under what legend you have if they change the way they work under other classes too (i.e. what attunement you have as an elementalist, what virtues you have charged as Guardian, how much adrenaline you have as Warrior etc), as otherwise they will still only be ‘racial’ skills for the traditional eight professions.

As it would be a bigger overhaul than it seems to keep racial skills balanced, I can’t see Revenants having more than one version of each of their racial skills, but I also can’t see revenants not having racial skills either.

Just plain out no to this. There is no reason for other professions to get something simply because another profession has it. That’s just childish. Since when has balance ever been associated with racial skills? Since when has anyone ever complained that Engineers get toolbelt abilities for each racial skill and no one else does? Just…..no.

You’ve clearly mis-understood my post and I don’t understand the hostility in your reply.

buy a new character slot instead or you will regret this at a later point

Or buy a new account on the next occasion, that’s 5 slots instead of one for the same price in gems.

But you don’t share the same XP, Gold, Karma, Magic Find, Weapon Skins, Armour Skins, Dye Skins, Account Bound tools, legendary weapons, ascended gear and equipment etc. This needs to be remembered also!

Relic.2136:

I love to roleplay, but not the kind of hardcore "/em looks at NPC1 with lust in his heart and asks, “Can you polish my spear, love?”

I’m sorry to say that this is a pretty ignorant view of roleplayers.

They are “Log-In Rewards” – you have to log in for log in rewards. It’s as simple as that!

Can’t get things any easier than that! In my personal opinion, it is responsible for any company to reward their loyal customers and give them incentives for services, and this is a nice easy, in-game example

I am getting SO BORED doing it because everything is so easy to kill.

Stop doing it then!! :p

Long shot: Have you logged into your email via the web instead of what you use as a mail browser, and checked your junk mail folders there for a response?

Maybe somewhere down the line, it’ll mean Cantha’s confirmed? I’m sure someone will come up with a connection.

I can’t recall if I have seen it or not, but perhaps, perhaps it could be toggling Specialisation on and off? Pure speculation I might add

We must remember that first and foremost, Norns are not humans. They are their own species. Certainly they are humanoid, but they are not meant to be 100% proportional to a human,so their slightly smaller heads and their slightly slimmer hips and wider shoulders might look odd to us mere humans, but to Norn it is a revered feature.

People please remember that not all Guild Wars 2 players use the forums, so they are unaware that forum users are already aware of them! Try to avoid sarcastic replies to posts like these as they are just trying to do a good thing by warning us!

I think part of the reason why people still come onto the forums to try and warn everyone of the phishing, and also sadly fall for these mails, is because not all Guild Wars 2 players use the forums. In fact I’m almost certain that there are more Guild Wars 2 players that don’t even know these forums exist than those that use them!

So, because of this, most players didn’t get the announcement about the yellow message at the bottom of your mail. After receiving legitimate and ordinary mails from friends and co-players, you tend to get “snow-blind” to the message, like it’s part of the furniture or something.

This is why a few months ago I suggested some form of in-game warning about phishing attempts instead here:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Suggestion-In-Game-Phishing-Warning/first#post4680692

This is to ensure that everyone who logs into the game gets a warning, not just us forum regulars. And thus, a lot less people losing their accounts, which at the end of the day, is the most important thing.

It’s usually either Aurora Remains in Brisban Wildlands or Deirdre’s Steppes the Jumping Puzzle in Mount Maelstrom – have you checked for those two?

I’m just stumped that we still don’t get to have shaved head for women

The Norn female has a bald/shaved version from the original set, but not the human one.

Yeah, the human female gets a mohican/mohawk like the one Aria Venom has in Black Haven, Kessex Hills. But I want a completely bald female, I think women can look pretty with a completely bald scalp but currently only male humans have that option.

This is certainly a change from being threatened of a ban by the so called GMs!

But yes, simply report the user for scamming, block the user, and they usually get dealt with within an hour

I really think the word mount should be added to the swear filter in the forums so it gets turned into the word kitten :p

I’m just stumped that we still don’t get to have shaved head for women

I do wonder how many people will be pulling a sickie from work on Tuesday :P

If there’s always a lot of map chat drama (and maybe even if there isn’t) ArenaNet will address this issue in due course like they did with the Queensdale Champ Train, The Coil Fail Farm, The Plinxx Fail Farm, the Rata Sum Ambient Farm etc. and those who use inflammatory abuse to others for wanting to play the game normally will only have themselves to blame.

I am against any further playable races as we already have 400% more choice than we got in Guild Wars 1.

However, I certainly wouldn’t say no to a Largos and/or Tengu tonic for RP purposes!
