Charr are attractive

Charr are not part human, part cat. They are Charr. They have an instinct for battle, not romance. If we have everything the OP asks for in Living Story 3 with all the other threads, there’d be about 95% video for the story lines, and little time for an actual plot!

Usually when it happens the party chat gets like (figurative info):

00:01am: Me: (some chat)
00:02am: Someone else: (another chat)
00:03am: Shadow is (or You are) no longer in a party.
00:03am: User_in_FL.0000 is offline.
00:03am: Another_in_FL.0000 is offline.
00:03am: User_in_FL.0000 is online.
00:03am: Another_in_FL.0000 is online.
00:03am: Shadow has joined a party. <- all these happens at once

And then if I switch tabs only the online/offline and “no longer in party” notifications stays, all other chat gets cleared.

I have meant to report this issue for months now but I kept forgetting it.

Yeah you’re right, it’s like a DC. I don’t know about others, but happens to me around 4 or 5 times a day. Happens to both party and guild chat, and when the mini DC happens, my guild’s Message of the Day re-emerges in my guild chat tab, as if I’ve only just come online. I am on the Mac Beta, if that’s any use.

Happens with me, with Party and Guild chats. Also what’s annoying is, because I have separate chat tabs, if someone says something in Guild, and the chats reset before I have chance to switch the tab to see what they said, it’ll permanently flash red as unread, meaning I have to delete the chat tab and make a new one.

Except the Quaggan never stay near the bbq sauce. It’s so inconsiderate of them. No one likes bbq that’s recently been in lakes.

@OP: Penelopehannibal and RoseofGilead have hit the nail on the head… you’ve largely got what you were wishing. So, help a guy out with his wish and assist me in wrangling up some Quaggan.

I’m confused by most of your post.

1. Already Exists Condition Damage and Condition Duration.
2. Unsure what you mean.
3. Already Exists Guild Hall arena & custom arenas set to “Courtyard only”.
4. Already Exists Down to interpretation what “realistic” means.
5. Alreadt Exists There are websites that show you profitable crafts you can try. Don’t expect crafting to give you 300% profit margin though – because if they did, everyone would do it, and the price of the ingredients rocket, quickly making that 300% into 3% or less again.
6. Bigger isn’t better. Can ruin balance.
7. As above.
8. Already exists Guild Hall arenas or PvP Custom arenas set to “Courtyard only”.
9 Already exists Mobs do jump out of ‘nowhere’ and they are strategically places in their respective zones (i.e. Griffons are near nesting areas, bandits near bandit camps etc.).

Fix PvE Parking

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: penelopehannibal.8947

penelopehannibal.8947

The suggestion just sounds like the OP is sore about something, and wants to take it out on another group of players. The WvW crafting stations fixed an issue to stop players being parked there, preventing other players who actually gaps want to WvW instead of craft.

Parking a character in a PvE area such as at a flax field or a mini-dungeon or jumping puzzle doesn’t affect queues or other players.

My advice to the OP: just get over it. Or purchase a [Royal Terrace Pass] and you can craft conveniently there.

Just make em pay … 1 core + 1 xpac cost… I mean the skins are not worth it. I used to use the heritage heavy on my norn just as a unique skin. But it was so ugly.

If someone wants to spend 80 bucks or so to unlock 30 relatively skins, have at er. Supports Anet, gives you accessibility. It’s not like they are the ‘goblet of everlasting life’

You’re forgetting about the hours that players spent in the 1 Core + 1 xpac to get those Hall of Monuments rewards, not just the cost of the game itself.

The first three rewards are given to you just for linking your accounts. Then it’s just three more rewards for the full armour set. I only played GW1 for the final year before GW2 came out, so I’d hardly call myself a GW1 Veteran, but I still managed 30/50 HoM rewards.

3 years and counting——I guess they are incapable of fixing/changing it or they don’t want to. They continue to ignore the multiple threads and posts about it.

This is a different bug, the 3 years and counting bug has been fixed, but they have inadvertently caused Level 81 enemies to spawn instead of Level 38 enemies during the event.

So this week sees the introduction of the White Mantle outfit. It’s nice, but I prefer to be loyal to the Queen. Please can you as soon as possible bring out the Shining Blade uniform from Guild Wars 1 as an outfit? You’d be doing my wallet massive favours.

Thank you!

You can set the nicknames from your contact list of both friends and blocked people, by right-clicking their name in the list.

Regarding gold sellers – it’s safe to delete them off your ignore list once they go offline, because that offline is usually the permanent ban they get, and they never come back. Obviously, if you want to play it safe, keep them blocked, but I delete them after a short while just to keep the list one page long (if I can).

What is your favorite area?

penelopehannibal.8947

I prefer Dry Top over Silverwastes myself. I don’t know if I can say an absolute favourite though, but after completing map completion several times, I think the ones I tend to do first (other than the starter zones) are Gendarran Fields and Fields of Ruin, so probably those two are my overall favourites. Queensdale as well as a starter zone I like. Well balanced zone, that one is.

When Will the PVE Berserker Meta Change?

What exactly is PvE Meta anyway? In PvE, it matters the least what build you have. Choose a build you find the most fun, not one that someone else tells you is “the best”.

Since day 1 I’ve refused to ever have a character that’s wearing Berserker stats, and they all still do well. The closest I have to it is Assassin’s gear and that’s good enough for me.

The only way I can see a vanquish mode possible is if it were during story mode missions. Though, that’s spending resources on old content when we’re all waiting for new content, so unlikely to happen either way.

Posted by: penelopehannibal.8947

penelopehannibal.8947

I honestly don’t think clipping is too much of an issue, since there’s already a lot of armor clipping in game. And the way character models work, simply increasing the width means the armor expands with the body model.

I disagree. I think the sight of chunks of flesh outside of armour and other places it’s not meant to show through would be unsightly, compared to a shortbow or a staff going through armour.

What you’re asking for is something that should have been implemented before release in 2012. It’s probably way beyond it now, with the amount of skins that are available.

My account is 700 days old, so I should have the Loyal title. But when I go to select it, the game tells me I have no titles available to equip

It isnt your ACCOUNT that needs to be 365 days or older. You need a character that age.

Yeah, this too. Still, check the Celebration Vendor in Lion’s Arch, unless you know you don’t have a character 365 days old.

Not sure why people have to announce they’re bored in the first place. It’s not Guild Wars 2’s fault.

I snickered when I read that last line. The question, given where it is asked, is: is anyone else getting more with Guild Wars 2?

The point of a game is to entertain its customers. If they’re no longer entertained with the game, it most definitely is Guild War 2’s fault.

And yes, more than a few of us have gone to play something else. The traffic shown on these forums have dropped for a good reason.

Didn’t think anyone needed to point that out, but here it is.

How is it Guild Wars 2’s fault? They’ve built a game with certain ingredients to it, and those ingredients will please some people, and not please other people. It’s subjective.

Would you blame a chef if you chose a Pepperoni Pizza when you’ve gone off/don’t like Pepperoni?

Not sure why people have to announce they’re bored in the first place. It’s not Guild Wars 2’s fault. Relieving boredom is a subjective thing, you find it boring – go play something that isn’t. Someone who finds WoW boring should stop playing that and go somewhere else.

I find a lot of people who are so-called bored of the game are the ones that rush everything – making instant 80s, join rush dungeons, have to do new achievements on the day they are released. That’s their own fault rather than ArenaNets. They can only come up with so much content.

And for that reason, I don’t rush anything. I spend many hours per day in the game still, mostly for RP with my Piken friends and guild mates. There’s still so much to do, albeit might be not to everyone’s game style. But that doesn’t make the game boring, just makes those people who are bored, have an appetite for something else.

I don’t think “should have been” is the right term. Perhaps “I think should have been” is more appropriate for the suggestions you’ve listed, most of which I respectfully don’t agree with. Especially the “adrenaline should have been initiative” bit – it wouldn’t change anything other than it being a different name for when you can dodge.

Edit: It just sounds like you want GW2 to be GW1 to me. It’s a different game with evolved mechanics and an even more evolved story line.

Congrats. You’re in the same boat I am. I don’t really PvP. I do some WvW but I’m mostly a PvE’er but not a raider.

I’m just about at 29,500 achievement points. I’ve made 9 legendary weapons one of which I sold. I’ve got the dungeon master title done. All LS achievments except migraine, because I’m lazy.

I’ve done 99% of what I wanted to do.

Yep, that’s how it works. If you put thousands of hours into a game, there’s a really really good chance you’re going to exhaust the content. Do you think expecting otherwise is unreasonable.

It’s happened to me in other games I’ve played, why shouldn’t it happen here.

Fortunately I have a great guild who I enjoy hanging out with and that keeps my happy most of the time. And I like helping new players and players who need some help getting through the new zones, or stories, or dungeons or whatever.

At the end of the day, a theme park MMO is going to run out of content and if you can’t find ways to enjoy the game, you’ll stop playing. I’m not really sure why you’d expect anything else.
