i think Caithe`s Secret is wynne, she is going to kill wynne for faolain, she committed MURDERER.
Nice thought, but I’m doubtful.
Scarlet hinted that Faolain didn’t know – and that even the Pale Tree may not know.
Sounds to me that Caithe found out Wynne’s secret, but Faolain failed to.
The question is, what is that secret? Most likely the cave of seeds that Ronan found.
Final note:
Episode 8 better be even bigger than Episode 5, with these two small filler episodes. And I mean story steps quantity that are on par to Chapter 8 of the Personal Story (pre or post feature batch kitten-up) – meaning either double or triple the standard story step amount e.g., 8-12 story steps please), and a nice big open world boss (the flower).
no one knows how much pale tree know and what kind of secrets she is holding including scarlet.
as for faolain well i do not know why she does not know, we actually have to wait and see but i i am still kind of sure caithes secret has some thing to do with wynne.
as for cave secret, i really do not think caithe found cave with other seeds, it is possible but then how scarlet became to know about it??, it is unlikely that the secret is cave.
again wait for 2 weeks i also hope like you that the final patch of ls2 is going to be good
i also think it was ok but too short,they could tell us more about caithe and faolain and develop the relationship between them little more.
i think Caithe`s Secret is wynne, she is going to kill wynne for faolain, she committed MURDERER.
ncsoft already said in their latest report that " in not far future they are ready to announce the expansion for gw2"
the expansion might hit in late 2015 or early 2016, but there will be an expansion based on ncsoft words((the boss)).
all u said might be correct but ffx has 2 million subscribers while gw2 has far less and did not do well in the latest nscoft report.
so say what ever you want but numbers wont lie.
master of peace is dead.
one of the aspect masters is dead.
ship is destroyed.
considerable number of Zephyrites members are dead because of crash.
and on top of all the very purpose of Zephyrites is gone. the secret of protecting the dragon egg is gone.
Zephyrites has no purpose/goal to rebuild now it is pretty much over for Zephyrites.
THEY FAILED GLINT.
its over unless(insert your idea)
the achievement part((challenge mode)) is really difficult to solo but its easier to do with a friend. basically anet made achievement part this way to force people to play together. well its an mmo after all so no complain.
we did not have new content for 3 months and we got new episode of LS2 just last week this game is usually doing better during LS season because most people log, also gw2 is more than 2 years old and if anet wants to see better numbers their only solution is expansion, i dont think gw2 sells go higher than this without expansion and older the game gets fewer people will spend money on it. every game has life span and gw2 current content is moving toward death.
the only thing surprised me was wild star bad sells the game is almost 4 months old and sells are as bad as that with subscription based game. wild star is in trouble.
your best solution is to use ping reduction service, it will reduce ping for online gaming greatly and even some people with no problem use it to have better and smoother game play, the only problem is, it cost like 5 euro a month. but with this ping reduction service play all online games with no lag issue.
Obviously, you haven’t read what the Devs said about it. No matter, just proves the point. /shrug
would you be so kind and tell what they said other than it might happen in future with new reward system,but the reward system itself is unclear, if you know more than this then tell us.no transparency in what they say if you understand the point of the problem.
/shrug
in 2013 they said precursor crafting is one of their major plan for the game but nothing happened not even word about it, whether they canceled it or still working on it, that is the kind of confusion and lack of communication i hate, the major plans for the game that change the game play must be at least discussed with the community /players for feed back and all.
other games have pts or play test server before they go live with major updates, while this game developers are silent about it for no reason in my opinion just making players confused about the future of the game.
Actually, you can read what the Devs said about it on the previous page in this very thread. /smh
As stated before, even though the statement has been quoted in countless threads, players seem to ignore what the Devs announce. Thus, they may be reluctant to announce anything , as what good does it do? I’m neither for or against the practice, but there surely is evidence for their stated reasoning.
what they said in this thread and others was they announce it once it is ready to go live , what i said is they must be crystal clear as what their plans for major updates are like pre crafting. like other games announcing major feature and content, for example rift announced new souls months before or swtor announced housing mini expansion month before or wow announced expansion months before, this thread is about transparency, read it again if you did not get what is it all about.
What you said is that there was no word from the devs. The guys above pointed out that there was word and it was pretty conclusive – they are working out how it will fit in the new rewards scheme. That’s a reasonable update on the situation.
Crystal clarity isn’t actually what a lot of people are asking for in this thread. There is an understanding why that cannot be the case and in fact few publishers can ever be that clear. What is being asked for is just something to grab onto, even if it is next year.
you do know what word TRANSPARENCY means,dont you?google it then, that is what this thread is all about, they are NOT transparent about new reward system and also precursor crafting, not clear and transparent word on any of those, just know it might happen or might not, that is not right way to talk to their player base,they are working on it or they might cancel it, you do not know that is problem,and all the mmos i play like those i mentioned have transparent developers only gw2 developers talk with mystery.

Actually they told us well before the end of 2013 that it would not be added in 2013. They also told us this year that they would have to change their plans about it, due to the reward system being changed. So they HAVE told us what is going on with it.
they said it MIGHT not happen in 2013 and what reward system they are talking about, you see the problem not just we do not know about pre crafting, they added new problem on top of it which is new reward system. LACK OF TRANSPARENCY, read thread you are commenting on please.

i do not think wow is gonna be problem for gw2, totally different games with different player base.
that being said..it wont change the fact that gw2 need major content update like expansion in q1 or at worse q2 of 2015,the game is already 2 years old and by that time its gonna be too old to keep veteran players interested, the expansion in first 6 months of 2015 is the must to prevent big loss of players.

voice acting cost money and time so they reduce it to mostly npc heroes like braham. rox .kasmeer,taimi etc.
but i like to see my character say something in big moments like: final battle with scarlet, i was waiting to see my character say something after all that fight with her but he was just standing there like statue and npc heroes were like go finish her off like i am their soldier who does dirty job.
i did not say word in that big moment with scarlet made me feel that story is so general and i could watch it on youtube for 5min rather than playing it.
this happened to me in hotw p1, boss was only attacking me and i was basically tanking the boss for the group.
in the game that does not have tank, the boss must randomly change target every 10 second or so, from player A he should turn to B and from B to C. and then from C back to A, like cycling between players, so every one will use healing skills and doge skill.
that is true 2014 was not good year at all.
that being said…look the life span of world of gw2 is 2 years. after that the core player(or veteran players) who are the most important players to any mmo already done the content of the game over and over and over again. have multiple legendary weapons, high rank wvw, high rank pvp,etc
anet better not continue such lackluster year in 2015 or they lose a lot of veteran players considering some pretty good mmos coming in 2015.
personally i am waiting for kuf 2.
There are always pretty good MMOs coming out though. You know,. ESO, Wildstar, Archage. They were all going to kill Guild Wars 2. I know. I read it here. It must be true.
We don’t know how well any MMO will do because everything looks great on paper. But talking about making an MMO is much easier than making one. So far, most MMOs leave a lot to be desired. I’m not sure that trend won’t continue.
why are you defending gw2 always without thinking that he might have point, you post a lot on different threads defending anet i have seen your name around for some time, stop being you know what it starts with F and end with Y.
did i say doom and gloom or i said it will loose players which is actually true.
that is true 2014 was not good year at all.

this bug/issue going on for almost 2 years and still no fix.
i use great fortitude trait in strength tree which convert 7% of my power to vitality.
issues with it:((its not wvw bonus related since during all the bonus was 5%))
—-sometimes i have 21k hp and sometimes just little over 20k and most times in between like 20.800 or 20.470, it is not scaling properly to have fixed hp based on it.
—-it wont work with foods. if i increase my power with food it wont have effect on my
vitality.
precision issues:
problems with down scaled attribute:
at level 80 sometime my precision drops and critical chance gets down to 81% while it is normally 87%, the only solution to this is to change the map and re-enter the map again or it will stay low.
it might happen even worse during the down scaling map like level 50 map and i might not even notice my attribute are not what they are suppose to be, i only noticed this bug for level 80.
check your attribute every once in the wile to see whether they are at fix number or changing particularly for 80s.
Deep Strike trait has been bugged so many times so I wouldn’t be surprised if it is causing your precision to drop. But are you sure you aren’t using signets, etc?
in open world i am using signets, all of them full.
still trait wont work with food with wvw or not.
as i said if you change the map and re-enter the precision problem will be solved so its obviously a bug

yeah after 2 years we got feature patch with warrior nerf. one hell of gift to loyal warrior players which is probably the most played class/profession in the game. that is anet feature gift for veteran players.
one of the reasons that made me buy this game was actually the ability to choose your character behavior via charming, dignified or brutish, which i found very innovative and interesting in a mmo.
but sadly it has been removed,There wasn’t even an option for being charming, dignified or brutish in the dialogue trees during LS2. This is a problem, characters are sidelined in favor of npc heroes because perhaps its easier to tell the story linear and even giving an illusion of choice(like personal story for example) is require more work, i feel like arena net is moving toward less work but more profit(gem store).
warrior:
please do not mess with warrior. losing adrenaline very soon after combat prevent warriors from important traits like 15% extra damgae or 9% extra critical chance,we start the fight weaker as result
also i do not understand the great sword nerf of 5% what it is suppose to do, is it done because of pvp but those skills which have been nerfed were no issue against players at all, while most of warriors are great sword users in pve particularly,but they got nerf that make no sense except making players angry.
and also elite signet nerf is beyond me.
i do believe warrior is the most balance class in the game right now((before second feature patch on sep 9th))
—-they are easy to play and that is fine. all games must have an easy class for newbies and players who are not looking for challenge.
—-they are not op at all, i have 2 other classes, ranger and mesmer, with ranger i can kill open world champions which i can not kill with warrior.
with mesmer both in pvp and wvw i can kill other players easier than warrior.
please stop messing with warrior.
billizard announced a yearly expansion for wow, yep that is true, world of warcraft gonna have expansion every year.
that is very sweet deal and might bring back ex-players to wow. and if wow do it that game will remain one of the best and top mmos for who knows maybe another 10 years.
about gw2 tho, i am not sure about future of this game, with new mmos coming out every year, probably small dedicated community will keep it alive but it wont be among top mmos if anet continue this way with their LS stuff and no expansion in sight.
do you want see something much worse, check at sylvari T1 legs on female and pay attention to the same area, it is look like..well you will see it yourself and i am amazed no complain about it in a game that advertised 12+.
i did not post pic of it because i am lazy and do not want ban lol but you can brought it up if you care about these stuff.
“Waiting for their appointment” being the key term. Sure, anybody can get a meeting maybe, but in a schedule. More effective to leave a message with somebody not tied down in meetings or having a waiting list to see then trying to either wait in line OR barge past everybody else and make yourself look like a jerk :P. Also don’t those refugee farmers mention they’ve been waiting for a WHILE to get their meeting?
Course, my point was moreso about how your rep might not instantly grant you an meeting, or a 100% “Will attend” result. And why would the Arcane Council truly listen to a Norn, charr, or anybody non-asura really? I mean, Asura are egotistical by nature almost all the time, and the Arcane Council can show that to the max. The Norn or Charr yeah, I could see them listening to somebody proven, but Asura are harder to convince. Jennah for sure accepts because Kryta is much more stable now and she’s all for the alliances already :P.
It’s one thing to say “As commander of the Pact, I’d like be listened to.”, another to go “I’m commander of the Pact, I can barge into any nation leader office I want and say my piece, then walk off and they’ll agree to it because I’m RESPECTED!” :P
if head of NATO send an emergency letter and ask for meeting then those leaders should be pretty stupid not to accept.
pact is like nato of tyria in charge of fighting elder dragons, now if commander of the pact (you) can not get asap meeting on very important matter. then those leaders have some issues.
the point is kasmeer who is a nobody now, and you are her boss is needed to set up meeting with queen and pale tree, what she has that you as commander of pact do not have.
same goes for rox and braham and taimi.
i find it hilarious how now, after you’re point is disproven OP, you just change the name of the thread and change the argument a tiny bit. he is still the greatest threat simply because he CAN corrupt an entire race without going near them it seems. even sons of svanir have to go out of their way to find corruption to take in, mord just thinks it and it happens it seems. he alone IS the greatest threat. also, sylvari are outnumbered by far by all the other races anyway, and they’re the least warlike. charr alone would wipe them if they all turned, so we don’t need a pre-emptive strike, and they won’t make mord more powerful.
i changed the title because people did not understood my point so i changed it for better understanding. nothing unusual here.
mordermoth needed scarlet to wake him up, and he got lucky omad made that machine and scarlet went in or he would have been still in sleep. and posing no threat.
aerin actions and behavior is similar to scarlet (zyphraite ship incident) mordermoth need some kind of power from them and he needs sylvaries to get it for him.
all that being said. without sylvaries mordermoth would have been still in sleep. so yes he needs them.
gear grind in this game comes in the form of legendary weapon and it need a lot of grind why do you need even more/extra grind?
for dueling there is custom arena which can be bought with 200g but if you are into dueling stuff it worth it.
trading post is safe and sound way of business and good way for anet to keep economy in check always keep it as reasonable rate.
already u can ask people to ping gear for the party(zerk stuff and all) that is totally enough.
your post make no sense man,you might want to ask anet to delete it.
BTW, why are we sending Kasmeer to talk to Queen Jennah? The player is far more familiar with the Queen, and since I play a human noble it would make even more sense for me to go there personally. The writers have made way points a part of the world and the story, but conveniently forget they exist when ever it suits the plot. We could instantly be in Divinity’s Reach, or any other capital for that matter, and ask each leader personally to join us at the summit. We don’t need to send anyone to do that for us.
good point.
because if your character is not human nobble, it is still commander of the pact and also assuming they did CM story, the queen became to know the player. all npc heroes from kasmeer to rox and braham are less known and respected in compare with the player. again as commander of pact you are known to all races leaders.
it is specially feels stupid when you are sylvari and need kasmeer to set up meeting with pale tree.
with help of sylvaries he will be. if scarlet was able to level a city to ground(l.a) or the sylvari on zepherite ship can go crazy (most probably due to mordermoth corruption because he lost connection to pale tree) and alone destroy the ship. NOW what if morderrmoth finally breaks the pale tree resistance and take over the mind of all sylvari. that would be end of not just triya but beyond as we know it.
why?
because mordermoth has minions who did not lost their mind and can have battle strategy, use weakness of their enemy against them. SMART minions are most dangerous army a dragon can have.
because of numbers: a corrupted pale tree give rise to adult sylvari who are ready for combat maybe few hours after waking up. while other races need years to make their children combat ready.
so far all minion of other dragons are brain dead. and even son of svanir are not that smart and their number is low.
so all those thing i mentioned makes sylvaries the most dangerous threat triya and even beyond is going to face IF place tree is defeated by mordermoth.
what happened to voice acting of my character(or all toons) some of npcs got voice acting during LS story like the warden or those asura during taimi story, i know voice acting cost that is why they can reduce voice acting of npcs and give voice to my character back like personal story stuff at least she/he can say somethings here and there.
vote must change to 3 make no mistake about it.
party chat must remain visible for like 20min after members left the party so people can report abuse of all kind including verbal.
this will solve many issues.
that being said.. anet is a lazy company. they are slow to address many thing from bug fix to quality of life improvement, so if you are playing this game deal with it.
it has no sub fee anyways so who cares.
look in a MULTI PLAYER game, the dungeon which is one of the most multiplayer aspect of the game MUST not be solo able what so ever.
that being said..its not your fault, its anet bad dungeon design which made it possible to solo. and it make some people angry and to solve this problem is to push anet to improve
the dungeons like cof p1 which can not be soloed due to door event, all dungeon must have similar stuff, problem solved.
kicking people who are soloing is rude and unfair since its not their fault.
on super easy pve: we got arah and teq and wurm,that being said its pro to some and con to some other, so its subjective and i actually like to log on and kick some kitten and get some loot. IF i wanted challenge i would play chess, in my country you can even make career out of it.
on sense of wonder: really?! beautiful world with jumping puzzle. vista and point of interests ect, come on it make u wonder around more than any mmo i ever played.
on ugly part: i agree with all of it.
also same report says that eso has nearly 800k subscribers and wild star is doing good as well and in 2014 these 2 games eso and wild star will change the chart.
Wild Star is Ncsofts new baby – they already are receiving pretty hefty content patches.
I can’t blame them – it’s basically GW2 2.0 or in fact more along the lines of what GW2’s combat system should have been.
Definitely a more in depth game so it is attracting a larger audience atm.
gw2 with its LS thing which was not receive well by players, content that can be finished in few hours but no expansion in sight. you get LS instead.
well i believe gw2 original game released in 2012 was/is great game better than most of games in the chart, but the direction anet is taking with this game will push gw2 out of top mmos even more, of course it is not doom and gloom but gw2 wont be among top mmos like this.
also same report says that eso has nearly 800k subscribers and wild star is doing good as well and in 2014 these 2 games eso and wild star will change the chart.
also pay attention to each year total earning, from 2010 onward total earning/income/ profit from whole industry is dropping/lowering each year and 2015 estimation is lower than all.
gw2 is nowhere to be seen in this chart despite several NCSOFT games being among top 10 but gw2 just not doing as good as i thought.
i hope 2014 with successful china release going to help gw2.
IT INCLUDE F2P AND B2P AND SUB BASED LOOK AT PICTURE BEFORE POSTING COMMENT.
lets face the fact, legendary weapons are the most common skins in the game, particularly great sword skins like sunrise or twilight.
the alternative legendary skin will keep prestige and iconic status of the legendary weapons but also give much more customization to players to have more beautiful skins to enjoy.
alternative skins are apply able only to legendary weapons.
—-unique skins with animation and foot prints.
—-can be applied/used only on legendary weapons and not any other weapons.
—-each legendary weapon can have at least 2 unique alternative skins
—-only original skin of legendary can be applied to other weapons but not the new ones.
i totally agree with op.
that is why people asked for precursor crafting at least a year ago and still nothing, i do not understand the RNG reward system anyways.
is it helping gem store?those boxes maybe but they do not have pre in it as far as i know.
is it good reward system for players? well if it was the pre crafting was not one of the most wanted feature in the game.
and with inflation the dusk i bought for 900g is 1200g now i would have grind for one more month if i wanted to buy it today.
the pre crafting is way better you at least grind toward certain goal rather than you grind gold but inflation cause the same pre rise in price so you have to grind even more.
on #1 mesmer/ele/warrior/ guard/necro are fine the problem is with other classes particularly ranger imo, which makes war/guard stand out mostly and design flows which favor heavy armor, stacking in dungeon for example.
on #2 100% agree, gw2 need expansion and people will buy it. just like gw1 did.
on #3 could not agree more, when the game is more profitable we can force devs to work harder. this selling gold people and gold buyers must be eliminated from game, they are toxic to all not just anet.
on # 4 NOT AT ALL. there are large number of games from AAA to 3rd class asian mmos out there offering unholy trinity. 99% of them are unsuccessful and barely surviving. GW2 was successful because of semi-action combat.
on # 5 you got ascended crafting.which makes crafting part of end game. cant say same for many games.
i am buying gem cards every month for 25 euro a month which is even more than sub fee but i might stop paying anet because of no expansion and i hate when even there is no state of the game announcement here. i also buy stuff sometimes not monthly for my second mmo which is swtor, but in swtor we already know expansion with housing is coming, the future is clear unlike gw2. we have minimum info on LS2 .they say its gonna be better ad more permanent but its all hype to me we should wait and see and that is what i hate. just to see what is gonna happen in future and no state of the game that tells you these are the features will come in the future like swtor did.
i think personal story was way more balanced than LS because of feeling that "they need you and you need them concept ".
from very beginning of PS(personal story) you need help and guide of your race hero like zoja,caitie,logan, rytlock etc. without their help you are lost and no idea what to do.
later in personal story you need pact and the sylvari hero with power of cleansing ore( i forgot his name) and their ships to weaken zaitan greatly and finally finish him off. all of them also need you to help them join together as alliance including helping destiny edges. and on top of all do the dirty job of killing bad guys(lol). so at the end it is very mutual relationship and balanced.
LS lost that feeling by introducing other npc heroes and focusing on them, this made story like their story and you are not important any more.
in LS you became more like soldier of them to do their biding, to do the dirty job of killing . i might as well watch season 2 on you tube rather than doing it for hours to become to know what happened. my character is not important anymore like he was in his personal story. LS is not personal i know but you might as well remove the requirement that player should be present, you go a head and made story like animation series which develop/unfold very slowly by the way. and i will watch that kind of story on youtube rather than playing through it.
anyways what i mean is this:
you should be able to make gold to get anything you want by playing the game itself like: events. world bosses,dungeon.LS stuff, wvw and pvp etc
i did sold some dungeon paths with my cousin and we shared profit which some time went up to 100g a day. i made my kudzu in 25 days with selling( 3 hours a day average)
well that is ridiculous, the dungeon sellers making more money than people who are playing the game, and no soloing is not something special, it is possible in this game thanks to design flows and skipping or standing in safe place and hit the boss.
dungeon must not be solo able to begin with, it is a MULTI player game after all.
tp playing is all about placing order for stuff then sell them higher even a bit or wait for price to raise up. involving luck and speculation therefore the guy with 7 accounts place ton of orders and get stuff cheaper and sell it higher, the sum of all little profit he makes is gonna be like 200g a day which makes him way more richer than you who is playing the game.THANKS TO NO TP REGULATIONS.
if you are wvw player or pvp or dungeon runner in a legit way you are at disadvantage in compare with them.
the economy which is basically all about gold==farming/grind and all about use and abuse the poor system will eventually result in broken economy and heaven for grinders which gw2 is a heaven for them already.((all 3rd class asian mmos are heaven for grinders as well))
those grinders and tp players have zero value for any game since they do not need the cash shop at all.
this game must change into game for legit and honest players and stop being heaven for grinders/farmers.
