Guild Wars 2

The attack was used when comparing your attack damage with other classes. Such as a light armor with 3,000k Attack and Heavy armor with 3,000k attack. Power is class specific but Attack never was. It was useful when helping others. For example, asking what their Attack rating is for their class for mega raid events like slaying Wurm Eggs for Tequatl’s Power Team.

Its not there, if you mouse over the stat it says “Power” not “Attack”. Attack went missing after the update.

What happen to the attack percent column on the Hero Panel? Only power is there, we used to attack column to avoid having to the wiki calculations. Was it left out by mistake?

Anet I know you’re slow and all on fixing your kitten but please hurry up, this bug is seriously annoying, for me and everyone else as well.

Not sure that will help them code faster.

Thanks Cedo been awhile since I read that info

Plenty for me to do at 80, that doesn’t have the game boring at all. For me at 80, the adventure is just starting.

Thank you, StinVec

On the 14th, will the duplicate exotic pvp weapons we have in our inventory be turned into normal exotic weapons that we can salvage for ectos? Or should we salvage or mystic forge them now? Thanks!

For those that bought the deluxe edition of GW2 the Chalice of Glory no longer seems to be not useable even in Heart of the Mists. Was this intended? If so, why are they still dropping for Deluxe Edition users..should we save them or destroy them?

Stealth.6971:

I haven’t played in like a year and decided to play again, but there aren’t many people. I’m only level 24 so maybe it’s because most people are higher levels by so they’re in high level zones?

Most players are in higher level areas or doing higher level content. Since the game has been out for a few years, most players only visit lower level areas to do a world boss if it appears there.

Shyhalu.4891:

Is there like a condensed written version of the patch notes anywhere? 2 hours is a bit long haha..

The only thing about rangers is that for PvE their maximum DPS build invoves sword + offhand.. which is kinda meh :< Plus pet AI seems prettttyyy wonky.

Yes:

Thank you for your help

Will Unlock Dyes Before April 15th be Account Bound? The post Anet made is unclear about existing dyes that have been unlocked on one character only. Say I have one character that unlocked Red Dye. Will that Red Dye be accessible to all my characters after April the 15th?

Same happen to us just now

Im Mudbone.1437:

I’m wishing GW2 never existed and in its stead they just added to and improved GW1, the worlds best game released to date. PERIOD.

I wish that all the people that approved of GW1 kept playing and didn’t move on to other games, they would probably have a larger voice if a majority of GW1 players kept playing after years.

think pve uses the wardrobe and pvp uses the locker system but we’ll see

That is kinda unfortunate imo but it works thanks

Will the legendary skins in the wardrobe have footprints?

Vagrant.8613:

Here is what I had proposed in another thread:

“My solution to legendaries is to allow them to be in the wardrobe. HOWEVER, copies of the legendary will NOT provide an aura or footprints. They will still have the weapon trail or special projectile but the wardrobe copies will be nothing more than just a simple weapon skin.
This solution allows people to tell if you are holding a real legendary or simply a copy. This solution also benefits people who have made the same legendary but are using then on different toons, in that the real legendary will still provide an aura & footprint.
The only solution I can offer for people dual welding the same legendary on a single toon is to double the effect size of the aura and footprints or come up with a new effect.”

This proposal will provide an incentive to craft a duplicate legendary.

That sounds reasonable.

Sealreth.1425:

I dont really understand this… why would they make so much problems for them selfs by doing this.

there are so many people who spend months making the weapon, feeling amazing that they accomplished making 2 legendarys. taking pride in it being noted by others…

this will kill all the fun in having duo legendary’s (incinerator for example…)
It would be so much better to exclude legendarys from this system and instead make them simply accbound! why do we want an increase of at least 50% in legendarys roaming around tyria??? It will be the most common weapon in the game. Making those six month a waste of time… and legendary’s WORTHLESS

make it accbount everyone will gain from this… you can swap it around, but you still hold the value of the items, it will still be more special and rare to have 2 incinerators or bolts or what ever legendary…. Let us keep the effort we put in to it..

and this is only the part about legendary not too mention the over 200 transmutation gems spend on armors.. and the dozen bought gemstore armors.

If not. Id rather be compensated fairly
That said,

I think this is an amazing patch otherwise… if only they notified sooner so I did not salvaged a dozen skins cause of low storage but for the average player this is great..
just plz think about the players that put most effort in this game

Best regards

Sethy Alre, Dual incinerator thief.

It is a step to solve a reported issue where people don’t want to grind things over and over when they already accomplished them. In my opinion, it is an amazing step however, kinda unfair to the people who have multiple legendaries etc.

I hope you will get compensated buddy.
Best of luck.

Legendaries are all about grind though. If anyone wants to make a legendary they should think of grind being associated with it, imo.

I disagree with allowing one account to use multiple legendaries on each of their characters. The two incinerator example and more. To me and others getting a legendary was like a really hard ultimate goal. Then after reaching it, getting another legendary of the same skin seemed daunting and challenging. Its a challenge players wanted, that kept some players interested to keep playing. IMO, ANET’s effort to make everything more accessible seems to be diminishing particular rewards of getting unique hard to obtain items. Legendaries were suppose to be extremely rare but now we’ll see people of various levels using legendaries skins. I’m all for giving players more freedom with the items they obtain but I would say changing all soul bound items to account bound is a better step in the freedom direction.

If this legendary change is allowed to be made, I think comment of people saying “Skin Wars 2” instead of Guild Wars 2 will really ring true. I hope new expansion related content really comes soon because with the end of season 1 of the living story, the hope of exploring new areas have diminished. Not to mention, no replayable story missions or hard mode…things are really starting to head towards “Skin Wars 2” mentality. Where the new content related additions we receive are skins.

Thank you both for the speedy and helpful response

Does anyone know to attach multiple images? I can only select one at a time. Thanks everyone!

Dean Calaway.9718:

I’ve always played alone.

Before 80 it was a pain to try to get people to do any content with you, it always felt like they were doing you a big favour.

So I got to 80 on my on and by the time I got there I had enough gold for a full set of exotic gear.

Thought I’d join a guild then, so I did, a few, ones after the others.
In all of them the story was the same, you had a few top players that got access to the guild bank (deposit and withdraw, basically making it an extension of their personal bank) banner spawn and later on, guild missions.
Sure you could ask in guild chat for help as much as you’d like, all you got was low level players.
The only time you’d hear from the guild leaders was if for any reason you weren’t representing “you’re denying influence to your guild” one once told me.
I’m sorry, my guild? What did the guild ever done for me? That was the last drop really, I just made my own, I’ve only allowed my brother to join, and guess what, already have 250 bank slots there, all that influence would otherwise be enjoined by some guy that never did anything for me.
When I wanna do dungeons I’ll just host it and PUG, don’t owe any favours to anyone.

On the rare occasions I get bored with GW2 (just so I answer your question) it’s NOT because I play alone.

You had very bad experiences with guilds, I hope you find one that suites you.

You can walk through the terrain west of Fort Mariner as well, when you approach the lighthouse. People are calling it “Sand Swimming” since you can walk through the sand.

He’s still bugged on Fort Aspenwood as of 3/18

Lucyfer.9517:

Actually in the ending video it looked like she was being raised back up by some force ^^

………kinda hope not lol

On our server, people are getting 0 loot from the knights.

KOPPER.1458:

Killing of a character is such a cheap and cliché way to create artificial drama that I’m glad anet didn’t go down that path. Hate when stories do that just to be dark and gritty.

And having them all wake up and kiss isn’t cliché? It’s just as bad if not worse. It’s pandering at it’s finest.

If anet really want to be bold have a gay male couple.

A super cute, old gay male couple that fights about decor and when tea time is.

1..
2….
3……
GO!
Hurry Anet!

They have one already, two male sylavri for a few events if you actually read the npc dialogues.

Brutalistik.6473:

The happiness was rather forced because Kasmeer thought she lost her. Kasmeer got her head blown off too because she touched my loot!

Lol great! Saved them XD

Wow had no idea, that’s why out of the way
Thank you!

In the past, they allowed us to sell some living story items to vendors after the event expired. Kiel and Evon support badges for instance.

In Hoelbrak, the cooper, silver, and gold nodes do not appear in the home instance.

I guess its unknown at this time.

Will the power nodes be reactivated to get the power cores to enter her lair? I know CC Dancia, said the chest in the lair will be reactivated.

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

The problem is that we can’t reproduce this, or find any reason for this to happen. It’s especially baffling because after the Toxic Alliance story ended, we moved the skill point back to its original position.

Thank you for letting us know, we should provide as much info as possible to Anet so they can reproduce this.

Will personal story missions ever be replayble?

I would like to see the dignity/charm/ferocity personality traits expanded http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Personality

during character creation:
“The second question determines the character’s initial personality, which affects how NPCs react to the character (typically as differences among dialogue choices).’

what a wasted opportunity that could still be utilized if they tried.

They actually implemented this in a few npcs dialogues but I agree more could be done with it. This is kind of off topic though.

They could have used it in the cutscenes if they really wanted to. Imagine it, when that one guy dies during the Orr thing, instead of saying that little thing when his girlfriend/wife got angry at you, for your character to respond (if far enough in the force personality line), “How the hell do you think I feel!? I tried and killed as many of those kitten Risen as I could, and it wasn’t enough!”

You’re right or bring up your mentor and discuss your loss. But that will be going along the lines of Mass Effect but its definitely possible. Would just enjoy redoing story missions, like the Charr that is afraid of Ghost Cows

Sometimes /dance will work to get you unbugged

An Oak Knob.1275:

Ghastly Shortbow doesnt glow either!

However in character equipment screen it does
WTF Anet?

Im 100% sure this is a super fast fix, Arena.net comeon get to it!

That’s pretty rude way to do a request by demanding something.

I’m glad this topic is still being updated

Thank you for the link

Are dungeon potions working as intended now or do we still take more damage from using slaying potions like inquest? In the past, an inquest or flame legion potion would make you weaker to those enemies. I know an Anet developer was looking into it but was the problem ever solved?

Thank you for your time

The Ancient One.1895:

I could give a rip about what Anet “giveth” and what Anet “taketh away”, however what I do give a rip about is what I spend on it. I had just finished loading my toons with 30 gold worth of pets and potions {adds up when you have 8 toons} and now they have become worthless. GIVE ME A REFUND NOW! I am sick of spending my hard earned gold on gear, weapons, pets, and tonics that become worthless soon after I buy them.

….why 30 gold worth x.x isn’t that over 250??

Einlanzer.1627:

They need to expand the PS in general, IMO instead of the LW.

Expanding the personal story will take even more time but that maybe what they are working on now behind the scenes of Living World.

Danikat.8537:

I’d settle for just being able to re-play it.

It’d be really nice to be able to replay favourite parts, or remind myself of the last part before moving on if it’s been a while since I did it.

I agree, I and others spent many months repeating missions in GW1 just so we could get better at them or see what part of the story we missed.

DanteZero.9736:

I miss being able to perform bonus objectives for titles just like the original GW but I suppose the developers wanted to stray away from it for a good reason.

I forgot about the bonus objectives those were fun but I also like being able to replay the GW1 Missions to see my skill growth, understand the story more, and for the general fun factor

Oniyui.8279:

I would like to see more personal story, and maybe bring it out of its linear nature, maybe discover new personal story paths in the open world.

That’s a great idea for an expansion, I was thinking along the lines of how to extend the replay value without having to create new content.

I forgot to add, if anyone supports this idea please respond or this topic will be pushed down and forgotten about it. I guess if no one does respond, it means players don’t want to be able to revisit missions or do hard mode like in Guild Wars 1.
