robert.3475:

my pc graphic card went bad .so now im using on board video chip cant play gw2 with that.cant afford new card going to have to save up it might take me 6 months to save the money.what can i do till then im addictived to gw2 getting withdraws.

Read GW2 Wiki

I brought this up last year but my post may have been TLDR (too long didn’t read), so I’m shortening it to:

• Allow us to replay our personal story missions to see how better we’ve become as players
• Make a hard mode for personal story with its own achievements and alternate boss fights

Two me those two features will go a long way of extending the single player aspect of the game. By letting players replay their own personal story through the “My Story” section of the hero panel, will let players revisit, and maybe discover story information they misseed the first time around. Also this change will give Anet the ability to change any boss fight to make them more engaging (example Zhaitan).

Only thing i can recommend is keep submitting dungeon exploit reports. Anet, will start releasing patches regularly and the dungeon exploits could be fixed in any of the next 4 upcoming patches. Also, there live stream broadcast 2 days ago is changing several combat mechanics and skills around. So some of the “meta” builds will break.

When is the release date for the Ready Up Patch (also the frustration addition)?

This has been happening me since 2012, I just open the door quickly and my fps returns to normal.

hi Darkhaven server have same problem! Please I need the fix to complete my map…

You can guest to blackgate and get it.

No one on Fort Aspenwood is able to complete Lyssa after its been bugged for over 20 days. We can’t capture the Song of Lyss, the NPCs just look at us without working on the cannon device at all.

Thank you Zedd for your quick and helpful response.

Hi,

My friend got Vine of the Pale Tree (Infused) but it has ZERO inherent agony resistance.
Is this a bug with the new Infused Fractal Rings?

Thank you

Same with me about 3 months how.

She’s has some pretty deep lore they’re building around her.

I really like the first scenario, the second scenario would help if people can see what small groups are doing. The second would work if there was a Havok commander icon, that would hopefully cost half as much as the commander icon cost. Or give commanders the option turn their icon into Havok Commander icons.

This story mode cannot be completed solo on a light armor class. Please scale it down. Sad that the final story mode boss is easier than this

Light armor classes can complete Story mode solo. Especially if they know their class.

Nilkemia.8507:

Pictured below: Doern has a rather…asinine view of the Priory and Vigil before they finally team up.

I can’t believe you censor out your character’s image, like its a real celebrity XD

Your choices still affect how Trahearne responds and what course the Pact take. Without you the story would go one linear path, there are several ways to affect the story after you are made Commander.

Not in any meaningful way. The story is effectively completely linear. All you are doing once the Pact is formed is deciding what scenes to “get in on”, essentially.

It’s really bizarre. Even the “end” of your personal story is essentially about Trahearne, not about you. Which is really the precise opposite of all four GW1 campaigns (I note all the GW1 campaigns gave you a really solid, last-forever-type reward, too, where this personal story just gives you a yellow with a so-so skin).

No, it’s every bit as much about you. In fact, Trahearne can speak in his own defense.

“Here, at the end, I am glad that it’s just you and me. We will cleanse Orr together-as were meant to do.”

It’s you AND Trahearne. He does the cleansing, but he can’t do it without you protecting him. Further, that’s not the end of the story. There’s one more personal mission, and it has absolutely nothing to do with Trahearne. You may have forgotten about that one, cus the ending does suck, but it does exist and it has nothing to do with Trahearne.

No it is Trahearne’s story. Anyone else could have protected him. And the entire cleansing of Orr was Trahearne’s own personal mission, not yours and not the Pacts. The character is never really made to feel like you they got to know Trahearne, they never really suffered with him never grew or experienced with him. So his words become extremely hollow. Especially because that isn’t really the end.

And that last mission isn’t a personal mission, it is just another 5 man dungeon where you might have to watch someone elses character speak for the entire instance instead of yours, just to prove how much that last quest isn’t a personal story.

You aren’t going to sway that one. Trying to explain those same points got me no where. The text says you’re praised so that’s all that matters to them.

Your goal is to Kill Zhaitan, Trahearne is to Cleanse Orr. We don’t have the skills or abilities to clean an entire continent but we can assist in Cleansing Orr. Trahearne, does not assist in killing Zhaitan nor does he have victory celebration after cleansing Orr. The victory celebration is for you, the player, not Trahearne. The ending cinema scene features you and Destiny Edge. The races of Tyria are cheering for the player not Trahearne, in fact the Pact seems to support the player way more than it supports Trahearne.

When Trahearne suggests something the Pact says, hmm maybe that will work or lets try this other way! When the player suggests something the Pact goes, yes Commander! Even the Asuran think the players ideas are brilliant which speaks for itself. o.O

Outlaw.3421:

I have an old Suggestions post that had a concept of replaying cinematics and this thread has an image of the Marjory Journal in question. If it doesn’t show up in the expanded “My Story” that I have posted, it would be nice to see a Living Story tab added to the list. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/My-Story-Expanded-Living-Story-Concept/

That’s a great concept image you made there

Kal Spiro.9745:

In Guild Wars 2 your character is potentially a Norn who accepts a plant’s authority because ???

He’s the leading authority on Orrians, while the Norn are not. He’s the only character all three orders respect.

Trahearne job was to cleanse Orr so his story takes precedence and our job was defeat Zhaitan which is why he isn’t present there. I believe Anet felt cleansing Orr would take longer than a single mission to kill Zhaitan.

The only useful things which I got from 100500 quests which I completed is BL keys. I also found out that there is no unique skins.

Commander Armor is a unique skin you can only get through the personal story.

For #2,

The personal story was very challenging and had a ton of drama but I believe players complained it was too hard so Anet nerfed parts of it. This allowed more people to advance through the story, those same people probably played on their own and didn’t get help with their story since it was “personal” to them.

Nilkemia.8507:

See the different choices you didn’t make the first time around, or even change to choices you like more for that character.

I just reflected on this and they did do this with Guild Wars 1: Nightfalls. You could go back and do optional story missions you decided not to do the first time around. The player could get 0 rewards for doing this because they just want to see another side to the story. Just allow a player to do an alternate choice and it doesn’t count towards advancing their personal story at all sounds great to me. The player will still get the replay value and they can make a new character that will keep them playing the game longer (and enjoying it).

Donnach Donnchadha.7864:

I too would like the opportunity to replay the personal story. I laughed so hard during the norn storyline wherein you get so drunk that you misplace a tank. sigh wish I could do that again.

I wish, I could have seen that XD

Consortium, they’ll inhabit anything they can see a profit in. Free Orr tours! XD

sounds nice to me, maybe your speaker setup

For me, my alts don’t have the same story as my main. I purposely made different story choices to see a different view of the story. However, I wouldn’t mind going midway through my main’s story mission and revisit a particular decision that was made. I can’t get my alts to do that mission since they are already past that part on my story.

Imagi.4561:

I actually enjoy Trahearne’s voice acting. Although it’s deadpan, I think Matthew Brenher has a very interesting voice.

TL;DR Trahearne is a flat character. People will like him more if he’s given an engaging personality, or at least an interesting history.

I agree, I hope they flesh him out more in the next personal story.

PapaBear.5249:

I think the point that a lot of the Trahearne supporters are trying to hit on is how we think we should be the grand hero in all of this, and we should be crowned King of Tyria. I may not speak for everyone else but im glad im not, im happy to be another cog in the wheel of the machine that saves the world. I never cared for MMOs that makes it out that you’re the only person ever that can do what the other tens of thousands of players are doing, that just dumb. The problem (for me anyways) isn’t that this boring cabbage man is stealing my glory, its that he’s stealing my story. While I may not be the savior of the entire friggen world, I am the main character in the main story, which is MY story. Or at least it was. It was a joy watching the choices I made having an impact on the story, and I was thrilled at the prospect of making a new character to see how and where the other branches would lead me. Then Cabbage Man shows up and now my story is about as fun as watching an episode of Antique Roadshow, because I feel that my choices have no real purpose. We all hit the wall, and that wall was named Trahearne.

Your choices still affect how Trahearne responds and what course the Pact take. Without you the story would go one linear path, there are several ways to affect the story after you are made Commander.

Exosferatu.2961:

Can we arrange Trahearne’s death by Scarlet?

Heck no, I mean..I hope not lol

I made this post under the wrong category awhile ago, there isn’t an option to move post. So I moved it correctly to here.

Hello,

I normally don’t post on forums but I felt this is important enough to comment on. There are several GW1 veterans that like the story in GW1 and the mechanics. These same veterans, in general, appreciate the personal story for GW2 but there is a flaw. There is no replay value.

What is replay value? It can mean a lot of things but in this case I’m addressing when the player finds the same content enjoyable after completing it. For the personal story there is no replay value for an individual character. Example, in GW1 you could repeat missions over and over again to your heart’s content. You could see things in the story you may have missed the first time, realize how better you’ve become, or just play the mission again just for the satisfaction of it.

GW2 has the “My Story” tab on the Hero panel where you can revisit a text summary of your adventures. Why this is ok, it does not give satisfy any of the previously mention items that GW1 solved so well. If the “My Story” allowed players to click Enter Story on a particular topic this would be fantastic. As of now, the only mission we can repeat in Story mode Arah dungeon. Which brings up the single player story issue.

In GW1, you could play by yourself with henchmen or heroes. In GW2, you can do Story Missions by yourself which is excellent. After beating Arah, the only story related single player Story content is left is…well is there any? Time limited single player dungeons aside what else is left for GW1 players that enjoy playing story based content alone? Don’t get me wrong, I like story mode and grouping up with others but more players are voicing leaving GW2 because of the negatives I listed. Non replayble story missions and lack of story content that can be enjoyed alone.

There is one more reason why GW1 players are talking about leaving GW2. The lack of “hard mode”. Its non existent, for those that do not know GW1 Hard Mode that allowed you to replay the same story missions but on a harder difficulty. The player received achievements for doing this. Frequently the people who preferred single play story jumped at the chance to group up with others for “hard mode”.

In short, I’m not asking you (Arenanet) to make brand new content or release new weapon skins. What I’m requesting is the ability to allow GW2 players the ability to re-enjoy the same content they have already completed just as you did in GW1. I do not want to see more Story driven players leave GW2. Coming out with weapon skins, rewards, and pvp content is great. But please allow us to revisit the content that you spent years of developing (story mode content). I should note, we (the players) are fine with receiving 0 drops and 0 rewards for replaying story mode.

• This post was not proofread but I believe my meaning was clear, if not please let me know.
• For all the gamers, avid fans of GW, etc please respond to this post with your thoughts about allowing players to replay story mode.

Thank you everyone for your time

Thanks for the youtube linked, helped a friend

Thank you for the reply and upvotes.

Adine.2184:

There is a difference between replay ability and replay value . They both have replay value and there some missions i absolutely love in both but what GW2 lacks is the ability to replay the missions .

I agree, the lack of not being able to replay missions…to me is 0 replay value because we can’t restart them at all. If we were allowed to replay story missions the game replay value for the story would greatly increase in my opinion. I hope this posting is noticed by someone at Arenanet and the idea is implemented sometime soon. In the meantime, I’m watching fans of lore slowly leave GW2.

Hello,

After the update people in party are shown as green dots instead of blue.
In WvW, this has cause confusion where party members cannot find each other in zergs.
If you zoom out far, the dots change from green to blue.

I don’t understand why there are color changing dots now. When a party member is “downed,” I have to zoom out far enough to find out where they are or mouse over several green dots in hopes of finding their name. For over 6 months the party member dots have always been blue, if changing them to green was intentional please reconsider. The color dot change has a lot of strife in parties.

Thank you for your time.

Yes, a confirmation will be nice according to this game breaker video the guesting server would get influence:
