but there is nothing special about wearing the same exact thing as everyone else. I personally like mix n match more

Well, I often see the same or very similar mix-and-match on people, especially medium armor because people avoid trenchcoats and the non-trenchcoat options are very limited. It’s always human T3 on females or Sneakthief or Krytan or that skirt (I forgot the name). About half of the heavy females wear Phalanx set or at least the bottom part or more parts, that thing is everywhere. Light armor has slightly better options.

Also, a good colour combo is the key to look more unique. To me, black and/or white is very boring yet 90% of the people use this combo or pure black / pure white. It’s gonna get worse once we get those black wings… Attack of the black clones very soon. :P

The problem is outfits are taking away options. Noone prevents another person from running t3 medium strip dancer in all abyss dye. However it is a problem for people who like and want to mix their skins. This is lazy cash grab because designers don’t want to put an effort in designing seperate parts.

I’m happy there’s so much people despising outfits. Maybe finally we’ll get some good armor skins, not just lazy textures.

Oh it’s outfit, no money from me for lazy skins.

Make it an armor so I can mix’n’match and you’ll see my money.

Using built-in function isn’t botting. Botting is using 3rd party programs automatizing your gameplay.

Stability isn’t taken away. Why are you lying?

Without ferocity knight would be the next meta .. and then we need to remove
precision

Shouldn’t it be Rampager’s? If it’s about giving up defenses for highest possible DPS, a few more ticks of condition damage and higher frequency of crits would be preferable to toughness.

no because conditions in group pve are broken and therefore useless

Imagine every time you got a key from random drop it could have been precursor.

Y → status: offline

and he can’t check which map you’re on

on the other hand I don’t really believe this story is genuine, there must sth more

He said they are not anti trinity but he didn’t say they are pro classic tinity either. GW2 trinity is different. If they implement classic boring mmo trinity they will see no money from me or other ppl sharing my opinion.

Buff rewards and you’ll see bajilion of lfgs active.

This path is quite good if we don’t count abyssmal rewards and unskipable cutscenes.

So how about get a group and learn how to play better?

Since stat items can be gained very cheap all there is valuable are skins.
I would pay 240 gold for a skin. kitten I payed even more. I farmed and forged Infinite Light for the looks only. My finger still twitches weirdly after all charged core refinement I had to do.

It’s all about you. You have to decide how much you want the skin. There’s really not much to spend gold anyway.

Disablind gem to gold = rise gold selling sites

Never going to happen.

End of topic.

Toodles.

Kepp your hopes low. If they were adding dungeon(s) they would say it straight in the face. With ‘challenging group content’ they usually mean zerg fests like Tequatl or Wyvern. Keep your hopes low.

segman.3560:

I’d like to share my gratitude to arena net for removing instance owner without any party leader function. This broke the game not only for sellers but also for normal dungeon runners trying to fill their parties with pugs.

This is only your fault arena net.

No, not really. This hurts the game for sellers and a small number of people doing weird specific things (like doing a solo/small-group run and then for some reason opening up for pugs, or having 2 people mysteriously quit at the end of a dungeon).

Every time this comes up you get a ton of ‘I don’t have any problems with this, even though I run many dungeons every day’.

Suddenly having 2 (or more) spots open at the end of Arah is a huge risk factor, but it’s also one that almost never comes up in normal play.

Yes, really. You go pug with no friends and they can kick you at every step of dungeon without any consequences. Before, you could open an instance and at least if they kicked you they were punished. Now it’s impossible.

It’s arena net’s fault only and if you narrow it only t sellers it’s not even half of the problem.

However, rumor has it this might be changed in the near future. . . .

Source plz?
Or speculation?

Guild Wars 2 isn’t f2p game.
You bought a game, you can play it – gem store is a place of additional services with its own prices. It’s like when you buy a car and want to add a spoiler – you have to buy it.

Transmutation charges can be farmed or bought with gold. With this being said any of your arguments poiting out to cash shop is irrelevant. Transmutation charge is an additional item that doesn’t prevent your gameplay in any way. Therefore you don’t need it. You want it. If you want it, go buy it. Or farm your gold. This is only your choice if you want it or not.

Current GW2 gem store is perfect. The content inside it is lackluster but it’s a topic for different discussion.

This is their way of making income outside of box sells. And this is very good one. First of all it affects only cosmetic side of the game, so whatever mode you want to play, you’re not limited without stones. Secondly and this is the most important aspect – you can farm them with normal gameplay or buy them with gold to gem conversion. So they are already “free” if you’re not lazy.

Guild Wars 2 has the best kind of gem shop – cosmetics and QoL items only and what’s more you can earn them all with gold. This is the way other games should go.

Sylvari aren’t inteligent. Burnt plants can’t think.

Now you see why Asura ranks human’s intelligence as only the 4th

I am not a human

Sylvari aren’t inteligent. Burnt plants can’t think.

kuben.9826:

You can obtain EVERY single item via gold.

I’ve come here only to point out this a plain lie therefore your position as serious poster isn’t considered anymore.

I’d like to share my gratitude to arena net for removing instance owner without any party leader function. This broke the game not only for sellers but also for normal dungeon runners trying to fill their parties with pugs.

This is only your fault arena net.

I want more serious racism conflicts in this game. HoT is giving me hope for sylvari being opressed by other races. That would be very engaging. I’m tired of cookie stories we were given so far.

Laziness is the only answer.

Kal Spiro.9745:

The starter zones are peaceful because they represent the timeline before the major war with the dragons is taking place. They have small concerns like bandits, not big important concerns. As you increase in level the significance of the threats increase and the peace of the areas decreases until there are no more habitats and only war camps. By the time you are in Orr you are in full on life and death battle with an Elder Dragon.

The story then bring you back to some of the peaceful place and shakes them up as Scarlet takes the battle to those with small concerns. Eventually putting it right in the middle of a city which is supposed to have no concerns at all.

Then with the move toward Drytop it is another building of this threat level as another Elder Dragon starts becoming a problem, fully revealing itself in the Silverwastes which is constant fighting.

HoT is the culmination of this, becoming another Orr where the Pact fleet is in full on war mode again. There is no room for peaceful calm areas in the middle of a war.

If you want peaceful calm areas then you need to hang back in the starter areas where the war hasn’t started yet.

Do you know how all the maps are going to be designed? Because if you do share your insight.

Jungle wastes shattered by mordremoth’s vines are natural battleground. However the deep jungle itself surrounding mursaat city can be this peaceful side with frog-people and dinosaurs not being (yet) involved with the war. Watching trailers I’m really hopeful this is what I saw there.

And well… if you want to rationalize with your post than only you have the right to have fun with your chaotic siege maps, there’s no point in discussing with you. I want both types of maps so we all can be happy. You want it only to be one-side fun. Poor attitude.

Brother Grimm.5176:

What exactly is the point of a LVL 80 map that has no significant challenge / enemies? There are plenty of other “peaceful” maps elsewhere (that being said, how about “repair” Kessex?).

Yes, they are old and boring. I am not against siege maps. I am against siege maps only.
So why don’t add both siege and peaceful maps? All of us would be happy with them.

It was the first such big promotion. Stay tuned with the front page. If they do a promotion it’ll most probably be tuned with some big real life holidays or beta weekends for HoT

I want this. Perfect summary of outfits idea.

ShinjoNaomi.1896:

jerkic.6319:

So here is an idea, allow us to purchase an armor set and then add it to the outfit locker, but also add each individual piece to the skin locker, both parties satisfied (may take a bit more work though).

That… probably would take a lot of work, yeah.

I can’t see any problem here. They’re paid for their work.
And I admit the solution suggested by jerkic would make me open my wallet very wide.

outfits should be costumes – funny, seasonal, scary, spooky etc

if an outfit looks like armor it’s just wasted potential especially when we get those instead of normal armor sets

I really want to spend more of my money for this game, they just don’t want it I presume.

@Wetpaw: both yes and no, this way outfist will be redundant because it simply makes them armor sets on different tab

1. You haven’t lost your skins.
2. Your stats, sigils and runes come from pvp build tab.
3. You only need weapons in hands to unlock weapon skills. Everything else is just skins in pvp. You can play a naked character.
4. Change your attitude. Your “change this or I quit” blackmail won’t do much.

Evade button is your best friend. Play with him a little.

Yes, I agree with OP. Constant, annoying battles, noisy events and legions of mobs – this is why I’m totally avoiding Orr, Silverwastes and Dry Top. Not every map needs to be idyllic countryside but if all we get is SW 2.0 and Orr 2.0, oh my god I don’t want to play these maps already.

I hope devs know this so they balance the content and we get both siege maps and immersive explorable maps.

Funny thing is there are people like me that want to spend real money on new gem store armors but we can’t. Because outfits. No mix’n’match value, everybody looks the same and they are really nothing cool from esthetic point of view (opinion so don’t rage me kids and fanboys).

And no, carapace armor isn’t the answer to our needs.

That’s ridiculous.

With the amazing amount of details you’ve shared with us I have to say… l2p.

The case is, whatever rationalization you’re gonna make for yourself, under current circumstances, when they register you as macro/bot user you’ll be perma banned. And this is good. This is a game, you should play it the way it was designed, not creating artificial functions not implemented by devs and trying to justify their existence.

I have no opinion about existing community. When I play I turn my chat off, including pvp. No map spam, no whispers. I don’t like other people and GW2 gives me a choice to avoid them almost perfectly.

No to macros affecting gameplay. This is not WoW.

I love the rapier. I’m a real fan of cloak and dagger movies and books so this kind of esthetic is a ‘must be’ part of my collection.

maddoctor.2738:

We are getting GvG with HoT as guilds will be able to “queue” as guilds and not as a team of individuals in PVP. I expect GvG to allow for far easier matchmaking as it won’t have to do complex math on the individual player’s ratings to pick a suitable opponent, it will be just one number.

Guild Teams

Guilds can register guild teams to compete within sPvP, in both Conquest and Stronghold maps.
Leaderboard will show the best guild teams in the world.

So in a way we will get a similar GvG system as it was in the first game. Easier matchmaking, faster queues, more “personal” battles as guilds will develop rivalries in battles etc

It’s a step to the right direction AND actual GvG

It’s not GvG, it’s guild lader.

So while the title fits 1st game lore (well Prophecies at least) the second game has nothing to do with Guild Wars since Ascalon is in ruins, Kryte is reformed, Orr is no more a human kingdom… so the title has nothing to do with anything now.

Yes I want GvG in GW2.

Engar.6074:

Ye, the problem was just one.. I trust Him, cuz he link me weapon (Ofc he use the code from GW 2 Wiki) and i send him 50% gold with mail. Just this

Analogy is:

A shady guy stops you on the streat and whispers he can sell you super dooper Lamborghini for half shop price. Are you going to trust him?

if those gold is ever going to be returned I’m going to send tickets about my every transaction and demand returning gold

There is no way to be totally safe from kicking unless you remove kick function at all which would be brainless and even more harmful to the community.

What would be good? PARTY LEADER FUNCTION WE ARE ASKING FOR LONG ENOUGH

If you want to buy or sell sth use TP. You have 0 sympathy from me. You can report him IF you have any evidence like chat screenshots but as far as I’m aware you won’t get any gold back.

going with your logic, telling other people they’re behaving wrong is an example of your elitism, because you downgrade their point of view and they can feel abused

Thank you for the invitation!

People have their right to create group requirements.
You have the right not to play with them and create your own lfg post with your requirements.

I don’t want to feel obliged to play with you for any reason just like I believe you don’t want to be obliged to play with me or anyone else for whatever reason.

It’s very simple.

I’d suggest you to tell us why you left so we can answer if those issues changed to better or worse.

Dawdler.8521:

Yes. Not only one title, but all of them below your name. Because we need to see them all. Especially in WvW, zerging isnt zerging without a million titles on your screen. It should also write out all your titles in the chat everytime you talk.

there is already bagillion titles in the game, how is your post relevant to the OP?
if you want to suggest an option to hide other ppl titles on screen you should create a topic and voice your idea about this “problem”

Mallyx =/= Mallix

still better than thousands of Daernyss passing me by every day
