Guild Wars 2

would be nice to be able to salvage the guild backpacks – after finally crafting my ascended book piece, the backpack is now just taking up space, and because it was 5 gold, i feel like holding onto it (and not plat-out destroying it), waiting for the day i can salvage it, hoping for ectos.

http://dulfy.net/2012/09/08/gw2-templegod-karma-armor-sets/

here, as well, at the bottom of the page.

the flag idea could be purchasable in the starting areas. make it a back piece. make it cost 2 silver, or a skill point. make it so it is always visible, as well. would like to have it look like below…

i tried that, that doesn’t work. also tried being unarmed and with no armor. i waved to the fort and approached it, and got bombarded with siege and the players and NPCs annihilated me at the gate.

while i have not actually asked in chat, “may i please come in to explore? by myself?”, i feel that this would be a bigger, and more embarrassing fail. surely someone on the SoS team will see that i am obviously alone and cannot take the place by myself, but the veteran npcs on the walls probably wont chance that.

the color rotation might be a good idea.

I’d like to get onto Sea of Sorrows, but it’s full. i just need to get the Vista and POI at their main fort in EB, and with 3 SB zergs running around, none of them touch this area at all today, or this past week it seems. i play for 18 hours/day on my days off, and either i cannot get in when the gettin’s good (because they have taken SoS main, but i cannot enter) or the zergs avoid that area like the plague.

i tried to play and involved myself with some zergs today, but commanders were not issuing much instruction, so as my feeble pve mind tries to grasp what the heck is going on, i just get frustrated when roaming around. “kill stuff” seemed to be the objective for the day, otherwise it would be attacking random walls and watching as commanders WP out of a counter zerg just to save themselves leaving me and other players with unnecessary repair bills and random troubles.

So server transfer, while still a highly suggested method, is impossible for me right now because my server (stormbluff) and SoS is full, and doesn’t allow me to switch. if i was able to switch, i would like to go back to my SB server, oh but because it will probably be full, i have to wait several more weeks to get back, so i won’t be able to play with my friends.

so for now i guess i’ll take up EB space, and just hang around at the starting area until it clears up. then maybe i will get lucky. learn 2 play? sure, if i didn’t have to scrub to get by in this game type.

put me in a WvW overflow server, or something, where i can “learn 2 play”. Grats to all players that already have 100% exploration in WvW.

2x SB zergs arrive at the Sea of Sorrows Lowlands. neither of them coordinate a taking of the fort. maybe they did on voice chat, which doesn’t help their in-game chat watching followers, much. shortly after seeing 2 commander icons out there, one WP’s across the map to do something else, while the one i joined runs around in circles, leading their followers (and myself) to their deaths in a counter zerg.

i always end up there, so yes, i would like a more permanent option to stay in overflow. all the switching around is dumb and inconvenient, because of the constant refreshing messages about it when loading into maps.

there already is the mini-map notification that says whether i am in overflow or not. no need to be bombarded with extra message windows – move it to the chat window, instead.

Windows 8 does play nicely with Guild Wars 2 (as in, it works fine).

i did the [Penitent Path] Tunnel events in Orr with XP boosters. 17k xp each event, and back then the groups seemed invincible, so you never died.

i originally thought it worked like Guild Wars 1, so i was bummed that my guardian did not make it. but i got it after a few days in Orr, and it was a nice feeling to see it ping in my UI.

still trying to figure out the critical damage one.

how bout a xylophone? or maraca (shaker) daggers?

if i fill the book, can i trade it in for Gold and Karma?

just have it play notes when you hit stuff. the larger the mob, you might get a full song out of it.

i followed early zergs of event chains

some of those events navigated through the middle of a zone, and ending at the exit to the next one. since all of the Orr zones look contested on the map, it seems that everyone that needed to be there is either hunkered down at [Penitent Path] or elsewhere. myself, i got my Orr exploration done while the gettin’ was good on my main character, and high-tailed it out of there before i got stuck there.

did you have any success with your guild? LA is for fractal and dungeon replacement groups, and if many players are going solo, they may turn off specific chat channels. i turned off my /m and /s channels because i do not want too be bothered when navigating the sea of Risen-somethings. maybe it’s because it is difficult for me to run through mobs while chatting.

possible changes to loot drop rates and event changes probably moved players out of the areas, but this is only my guess.

how much will the cards go for on the TP? i wish i could get one…

grats to those getting them in the mail!

should be instant. longest it took for me was 3 seconds

they should rid the “kill 1,000 of something” achievements.

looks like the spot you fly around in the air during the Victory or Death storyline mission.

just waiting for stormbluff to dominate/own EB, but i don’t thin that will happen anytime soon. here’s to hoping, though!

with all the fuss i am reading now about it, i don’t know if i should attempt it when i get home from work tonight…

according to the achievement, i am not even CLOSE to doing them all. i still have a ways to go.

but if i used transmuting stones to reskin my armor, would that be lying? for instance, my guardian has knight’s exotics on, but i liked the berzerker skins, so i transmuted to the berzerkers, so i have zerkers+ knight’s stats. is that going to limit my play if everyone inspecting me sees ’zerkers?

i guess serious players would know the stats are knight’s, even if it ws not properly skinned…

Exotic (not ascended) bag of snowballs for a weapon. usable by all professions, and gives its own set of spells/skills to use when equipped.

if ele’s are using it, each attunement gives a special buff or alteration. for example, while attuned to fire, ele throws yellow snowballs, earth would throw rocks inside snowballs, water could throw snowcones for ice damage, and air throws …something, maybe snow walls for defense.

maybe he’s testing player strength, and hoping that many players that will fight back during the toypocalypse are not geared head to toe with ascended gear, and annihilate any who aren’t geared to semi-max (below exotics, in general). since players keep winning, wintersday might play out like sindrone(?) from the Incredibles movie (always learning from it’s mistakes to kill faster and more heroes).

hoping the toypocalypse gives new ascended items for me to PURCHASE, NOT GRIND or CRAFT for.

i thought tixx sounded like Wallace Shawn – i am sure he has done many voice overs, i only recognize his face from The Princess Bride (as the poisoned cup trick guy), and maybe as the Dinosaur (Rex) in Toy Story?

i hope the toys in PvE will become self-aware, and take over tyria. maybe they will gather in Southocove, and we will have to help the karka drive the toys from there, into the sea.

good thing i chose the slingshot skin – the rubberband “twang” is very satisfying

Blazeridge Steppes. Dragon is cool.

Straits of Devastation

the WvW one with all the gold-plated warriors/guardians in it.

i think leveling up during battle should cause some kind of aural explosion, knocking every back for 3,000 distance units, friend AND foe.

i think that Skritt would be looking to get with as many as possible, because aren’t they smarter as their group is larger? as far as initial attraction goes, it doesn’t seem like their genders posses any noticeable “shinies”.

Do the Sylvari just randomly pollinate, because they are plant-like? or do they bud, like some RL plants (the thing where the plant just grows a bud that eventually detaches from the main plant, and grows on it’s own)?

Charr could maybe look at horn sizes or looks? or maybe the number of horn or ear piercings. i am guessing they look towards strength and war/combat enthusiasm. their names do reflect similarly to the roman(?) language. or maybe how poofy their tails are.

Asurans are probably all about ear size (+1 for Oggy and his leaves), and intellect or scientific endeavors.

The Norn probably just ask each other if they lift, followed by nights of Snoo-Snoo. either those animal forms of theirs come in handy, or the men hibernate all winter.

Ranger Slingshot is my #2. #1 being …the princess wand.

i hope they add a toy-infested zone. Tyria needs some kind of zone full of these malfunctioning toys. make sure it’s a zone, and NOT a dungeon.

thank you.

will the instance involve more than 5 players in a party? i sense this is some kind of horde/invasion mode.

maybe it will be like some kind of WvW zone, and we have to zerg hard enough to re occupy or re-cap the region where this all takes place. That would be sweet and fun.

i must have entered when the timer reset. i was unsure about when i could actually try the puzzle (the teleport in the puzzle “lobby” just led back to Lions Arch), and there were no more snowball piles at the lobby to occupy myself, so i took the portal back to Lion’s Arch. Did not attempt puzzle.

after the first 2 dungeons (have yet to do the 3rd), it seems that Tixx created something like GLADOS when making his inventions/toys. AI went rogue (Toxx), and if not stopped, could have a Terminator series like feel to Tyria’s doomsday, where the toys = robots.

i had no idea there was a cutscene… i did not even see the airship fly in and dock

after 2 days of the same dungeon, the objectives inside were different from the last, besides maybe the boss battle with Toxx.

when the gifts explode, i have a difficult time evading the explosion. i interact with it, it grows to explode, but i am locked at the present, so i am always guaranteed to be knocked back and down for the 3 seconds.

with the skritt and ventari toys, it’s not a problem, but the princesses, with their OP-ness, stack all that stuff on me while i am still knocked down, and i lose half my HP before i get up from the explosion.

i want to be able to evade the interaction explosion. at this point in time i cannot (unless it’s been fixed today).

after 2 days, i only got 200 (100/each).

i was able to buy the glue and stuffing, so no complaints for those.

i think, for my ele, the difficulty of the toys are (in pve areas)

easiest so far: Skritt
medium: ventari
difficult: Princesses. cant seem to dodge their projectiles, though their tantrums are cute, but horribly scary to me.

i am at work today, so i won’t get to do today’s dungeon yet to see what spawns next.

i wish Jora’s armor was available

anyways, i like my norn female. i liked eir so much, i tried to mimic the npc looks. i think i might be the only one, cause i have not seen another like her.

wow…you did a great job…im not even sure which one is the real Eir
i would guess the one on the left is the real Eir but im not sure

you would be correct! the only things that aren’t the same are the eye color (cant seem to tell what color it is), and maybe the face and skin color. other than that, the dye colors are as close as i can get. thanks for noticing!

edit: spent 8 gold to get another kit, so i think i am a lot closer this time. i think i might leave it like this…

1) Male, 28 years of age

2) Story provides me with a purpose. without story, the game isn’t going to be much fun with no direction. While some games are fun that way (with no story), it really depends on final design.

3) Individual character development is good thing for me

4) I view my character as an extension of myself into the game world

5) Character progression is determined by the game – methods to doing so, and the rewards/goals associated with that. all i have to do is choose the factors that make it fun for me.

6) The ultimate goal would be to be able to socialize in guild wars 2 more.

7) i think the story is okay to be shown through quests, but gathering 25 claws with not much backstory is lame.

8) it is cool, but then their efforts and your efforts are never combined. when getting to Fort Trinity, i expected to see a larger player base situated there, ready to move into Orr with me. i did not get that feeling anywhere in the game until deeper into Orr, near Arah.

9) the character story seems to touch certain events and groups of npcs, enough to maybe feel involved with the overarching storyline

learn the ways of slowing down in mid-air, or jumping at walls to slow you down.

i change the camera offset to far left or far right depending on which way i am jumping. zoomed in, you get a nice over the shoulder view.

as an asura, when navigating beams, i jump diagonally to them, instead of at them directly. i tend to over jump beams, so jumping diagonally onto them compensates for the extra distance covered, or jumping from farther back.

i practice jumping on barrels and stairways around the world, and use rocks on the ground for place markers.

i give mine away to guild friends when completing dailies

1. neko-golems in the fractals dungeon.
2. the way they walk
3. the way they talk
4. the way they bounce when stopping
5. the way they spin in place makes me smile
6. the way they stand on one foot to /wave
7. the way they jump up and down
8. the way they /sit

their beady eyes in a vigil helmet
asuran children are so tiny!

i wish Jora’s armor was available

anyways, i like my norn female. i liked eir so much, i tried to mimic the npc looks. i think i might be the only one, cause i have not seen another like her.

First 20s of this dance wouldn’t be bad imo, lol. Plus, Carlton does it so they wouldn’t be far off the mark!

they should add that to the sync command, instead. perfecting the sync should yield a better dance (like leveling up!)

In short, norn have a social taboo where they’re not supposed to marry above or below their own legend. They are supposed to marry their equal, and then expand their legends together. If at any point one or the other becomes more legendary, then the marriage is in jeopardy unless the lesser spouse can catch up.

Clearly the Norn do not embrace the concepts of down-scaling. it would help both norn out, so that the one ahead is not OP in lower levels.

marriage moots must be crazy!

My norn ranger, been playing around with armor and styles lately. Noticed since changing styles, Garm has been following me more often, lately. i think Garm’s gotten confused.

Eir’s Longbow is my secondary weapon.

i like the larger discovery circle idea. as a scrub, myself, i would like this option. or an option to freely roam, with limitations on taking damage and dealing damage. an option leaving the spawn area to disable my interaction with the realms, so i can freely navigate to completion would be acceptable.

or just move the POIs from the inside to the outside of the forts. still have to zerg close enough (and survive), so that should not be a big deal. also, vista’s should have an immunity bubble the activates every few minutes, and lasts for 10-15 seconds. this allows players to “cap” the vista and then run off and not get insta-ganked there.

on the vigil pact armor, asuran toes stick out of the feet, leaving my guardian’s flippy toes exposed to the colder elements in the shiverpeaks.

in fact, i think that their toes clip through many armor styles.

i am working on getting it, because my guild can never find me on the world map when i join their group. the “regular” blue party dot is REALLY tough to find on the map many times for me. they should make that pve party dot bright red.

at least this way they can probably find me easier.
