Guild Wars 2

True masterpiece :P

There should be in-game bets for time of update. One with best guess wins Legendary

Yeah, we should tattoo that motto on our chests “Memento”-style.

So what am I supposed to do with my time :P
By the way any ideas for exact patch time?

I’m lost. Nemesis video is biased because shows necros are too good or that they are rubbish? I heard both takes on that video.
I really don’t get all controversy about that video. It only shows that Necromancer are not as bad, as I originally thought and in some cases can dish out decent amount of damage. People are angry because they thought Wariors are by far superior to Necros or because we can’t say that Necros are terrible all the time?

I would love to see some of that tensions flushed out. Anti-silvari voices after Scarlet invasion can be beginning of that.

Whatever you say about Rayman games, second and especially third part were pretty dark. Heck, Rayman 3 had more innuendos in tutorial than whole Guild Wars 2 :P

Mystic Forge recipe:

Mini Rytlock + Mini Logan + Mini Jennah + Bottle of Elonian Wine = ???

Step 4. Profit

Seems more laggy for me. Skills seems to active completely randomly. I kept all graphic setting on low but id didn’t help. Frustrating, Sanctum Sprint was one of my favorite minigames.

ChapDev.7650:

Deathshroud 4 and 5 still hit invisible targets as long as they are in range.

Are you sure? I would love it to be true, but I think that only blast on the end of DS5 hits invisible targets.

One question, does Signet of Vampirisme(active) works with Life Siphon’s pulses?

Blu’s gameplay on Chinese servers. After 20’th minute he plays as necro so you can see most changes.

Thankfully all ended well. Nemesis got hiss characters restored and in upcoming days we might see new guides.

All things considered new Necromancer icon looks more like Grenth’s face from first GW.

As some of you might know, account of Nemesis, avid player well known for extensively Necormancer guides on Youtube, was hacked while back and wiped clean. More of that story via the link. Fingers crossed he gets his characters back.

fear is OP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABCya_k0zLA

Fear is not OP. Falling damage is :P

@ Bweaty
Where or when they said such thing? I’m really curious because that sounds promising.

I’m in two minds about that one. I loved Marionette event even I usually failed but Watchknights were definitely not a best of possible ideas. Mechanics were very innovative but time-frame was too short.

Immortal.8542:

The point of the game is that your character wants to unite the entire land and all the races.

For me it’s not a contradiction. My necromancer wouldn’t mind uniting all Tyrian races under his iron fist as a Emperor of Tyria
Although my asuran Mesmer would try to blow all that up while ironically my sylvari Thieve would be only one interested in fighting dragons and saving world :P

^Hahaha fantastical racism at it’s finest :P

I don’t expect GW2 to be so heavy and realistic in that topic as for example Witcher but some twists would be appreciated.

I also think that homogenization of races is bad thing. Why bother creating different races in the first place. Sole fact that races are working hand in hand without any major frictions is hardly believable, but instance when races with different life philosophies, not to mention biological differences, are so unified is nearly impossible.
We can blame fact that it’s not a real world etc. but such utopian world will simply become boring.

Since when Necro can dash out 15 stacks of confusion? Am I missing something?
It’s so powerful only for Condicionmancers so no need to be so afraid.

Alice.8694:

Best just white wash everything and just stick to white male power fantasies then, eh?

I would say GW2 goes out of it’s way to be anything but . It may be good but it’s getting improbable. Acceptance of same sex pairs is not first on my mind in that matter. We got 5 wildly different spices with different philosophy and biology and yet(in present times) nearly no problems while working together. Pardon me, only Bad one have some issues with that, all other are knights in shining armor. We got High Fantasy game in Crapsack World setting. A bit of topic, sorry. My point is it looks to me Anet is creating nearly utopian world, which while being noble is unnatural.

Well kiss didn’t make me to dislike them any more or less than I already do. Although Kas’ eyes freaked me out a bit.

About Lions Arch and Kryta. Maybe we will get second part of Cutthroat Politics with election whatever LA should remain independent or be incorporated into Kryta? Some faction fights Queen Jennah’s vs Capitan Kiel’s/Evon’s for example :P

I would be nice for Atlas to incorporate short stories like “What Scarlet saw”.

I think LA should be remade into new area. Living Story didn’t changed world at all, everything was temporary content so far. It can be great place to start.

Firstly how you get coordinates for that one “16302,14427”?
Secondly if the big reveal of Atlas is Assault Knight’s jetpack it is big letdown. It was harder to find it and if that’s all I’m starting to fear for grand finale. Anyway fingers crossed.

As for now I think Atlas is good idea. I would love if it was some kind of platform between Game and Lore ie. finding clues in game which updates our Atlas. Something like Hall of Monuments Meter but for story secrets. It’s nice addition but definitely not a solution for problems with LS

Can be mount but definitely not horse. Dolyak or even jet-pack Dolyak, oversized Moa and such but not horse please.

@ Conncept
I’m betting Kas+Jory because Braham don’t know anything about him and Rox wants to finish job on her own. Alternatively Elen Kiel might buy his bill to fight fire with fire in a way.

Sry for double post

@Lol Lol Lol Guy
I think creators didn’t want too animalistic character that would be not so relate-able. In the end they went overboard in opposite direction. That’s just my theory. Maybe somebody just miss clicked during character creation.

DoctorOverlord.8620:

I actually found I liked Canach’s character development in this update.

I was a bit worried. I always hoped for some anti-hero character with moral ambiguity. Canach was perfect for that role. But new reformed Canach 2.0 might be just next bland one dimensional good hero like every other in GW2. Hope not, devs with inclusion of gay relationship showed that they want game to be more realistic, mature(how it ended up it’s topic of other discussion), why not creating less black and white world along the way?

I also love that character. Truth be told her appearance was too out of the blue to my taste but way she is developing is very promising. She is blunt but not as sarcastic egomaniac as most of Asuras :P but hopefully that spot would be filled by Canach.

My own fanon is that horses are extincted/Chars ate them all Or maybe as people of Tyria use Dolyaks so maybe horses were not as useful and nobody bothered to domesticate them?

Great design but unfortunately not into my taste :P Maybe redesign with skulls for necromancers? On a side note I really like new rapier-skin but I think it should be different type of weapon, not a sword skin. I could be introduced for scholars, for example.

6 player team? Can be interesting.
Also 6 divided by 2 equals 3 => Half Life 3 confirmed

About Jory and Kas it looks that they are here to stay in that form. Just won’t enjoy that piece of LP content as much as I used to. Hopefully there will be something different to entertain me.

“Rox: So…you’re a mated pair?
Kasmeer Meade: (laugh)
Marjory Delaqua: (chuckle) We’re currently in negotiations.”

If that’s the way portrayal of that relationship will continue I think it would be as shallow as I feared. Truth be told delivery is not so bad but still strikes me as a bit juvenile. Heh if during this year retrospect they point out pair of lesbians as their achievement I’ll be equally disappointed.

I’m not too skilled player and for me Dhuumfire was nice addition. Truth, it was no-brainer and encouraged lazy play but made Necros(or at least conditiomancers) potent for first time since second beta. Hell it wasn’t even strait damage but cleans-able Dot. I know L2P is answer for most of my arguments.
Maybe they will give us something worthwhile instead. Fingers crossed.

I’m totally buying Space Dragon theory

Don’t know. Kind of bothers me, I thought of them as gender switched Sherlock&Watson. I might be biased but I think they create them like this, because it would be “cool”.

Too tell the truth I would prefer them to stay more platonic. My reasons I quite simple – they remind me of gender switched Sherlock and Watson. Those two (especially in newest installments) have very close friendship also often interpreted as something more :P Apart from that I think it might be lazy writing if they end up as a couple. Something along the lines: “Here are two hot girls, now they make out”.
Faloni and Kaith are much more interesting due to their love-hate relationship, but if Kasemer and Majory could pull out something even more entertaining I’m all for that.

Question: Braham’s surname.
That moody Norn introduced himself as Braham Eirsson which could be translated into Braham son of Eir. But as we all know he and Eir are not on best of terms. He himself stated that:
“You’ve probably heard of my mother. She’s a famous hero, a member of Destiny’s Edge. Eir Stegalkin. I’m not bragging, mind you. I take after my father”.
I’m curious whatever there is more into choosing that family name, instead of his father’s who was also hero of Norns.

I’d like possibility of dueling. Maybe areas or arenas where you can duel with places for spectators(repurposing Queens Gauntlet?).
Some faction fights inside PvE would be interesting addition but it would be hard to implement it right. Maybe for now better not to touch it but some discussion might produce acceptable solution.

Wow I thought that it will be already resolved. Sooooo no more reviews of guild wars 2 allowed or just Joe is out of luck?

More of repeating of known facts but there are lots of lore. Truth be told the best parts are connected to GW1 lore but still. Examples can be: Floating castle in Kessex Hills, White Mantles, fate of bloodstones, Ghosts of ascalon, Zephirits and what happened with Glint’s child.
From more recent lore we got mystery of Mr.E (sry for bad pun), all things connected to Dragons, CoughScarletCough and of course politics of races.

We know that Braham goes by second name Eirrson. Norns are (loosely)based on Vikings and in their culture second name is usually taken after father. Is it swapped with Norns? All things considered Braham given choice wouldn’t pick that one for himself as he , to put it lightly, is not in best of term with Eir.

@Shiren
I remember reading it somewhere but can you post source?

I also think that LS in theory is better idea for GW2 than expansion. Player base will not double but map will and more empty areas are not what I’m expecting. Gamepaly wise LS is entertaining only if writing were better…

In one of the first interviews devs stated that they were thinking about such option. On the end they decided that most player prefer being hero. It would be interesting but will also mean twice as much story and missions. Considering how now some of elements seems rushed I don’t think it would do any good for the game in a long run.

I might be out of the loop but what it has to do with ascended armor?
