wouldn’t that be a 1 in 8,28 million chance?

huh, is there a 28th month?

Think he used the Month, Day, year format… 8/28/2015…

i know but i always find that ridicules, it’s small middle large not middle small large.

Bubi.7942:

- Hard mode
- Challenge mode
- Permanent death*

All for increased rewards and a shot at rare loot.

BAM! Fixed.

*permanent as in you die once in a dungeon, it throws you out (no invites after ofc)

and where is normal mode then?

Also, Star Wars technology is still more believable than Tequatl.

Lifting a space ship out of a swamp just by using “The Force” is more believable?
I don’t think so.

Its just another kind of magic.

it’s dark matter and that is most certainly not just a fantasy, we just call it differently.
also, he was talking about the technology, not the force.

Exciton.8942:

It’s simple.
Better rewards for harder dungeons.

so that’s acceptable but an easier dungeon isn’t…..

IMO armor stat should not be the reason why you want a higher tier, it should be the options.
all armor should be the same level, whether you have white armor or ascended, armor should be a flat rate.
however, the higher the tier the better quality you can use to upgrade it, so now you have a better reason to have higher tier.
-white: none
-blue: one minor
-green: one minor and one major and lower
-yellow: one major and lower and one superior and lower
-orange: two superior and lower
-purple: one superior and lower and one ascended and lower (this will then be added in HoT)

i already think there are way to many tiers of armor, it’s also way to WoW-ish and not so GW-ish.
my way does it the GW way, it gives no one the advantage on armor but tiers do matter in the way of improving your characters.

well, i would like an alternative way of getting dungeon armor in PvE but that’s not gonna happen ether.

Meer info
Release dag Pre-Order, Verzonden 1 dag voor release
Pre-Order € 35,99

This is on Gamesync in my country.

i can read it and i say BS, no shop can ever know anything when Anet doesn’t even know for sure what the release date is, it’s also a digital edition so that pretty much shows they are talking out of parts where the sun doesn’t shine

not that it works anymore, i have it installed but it’s not even doing anything while it worked perfectly fine back around February.

keep in mind, dragons could have the same bone difference as strong birds.
i see ppl comparing dragons with something like a horse or lizards, both are designed to walk and run on land and not to fly.
dragons are capable of flight, this could mean that their bones are lighter yet really powerful.

let’s look at materials of our word, steel and titanium.
steel is powerful and really common, however, it’s heavy the more you use it.
titanium is also quite powerful but allot lighter then steel, however, it’s quite a rare material.

now what if we take a horse and a dragon, the horse is the steel while the dragon is the titanium.
one is really heavy but is designed to stay on the ground, dragons are light but designed to take flight.

the only single thing that stops a dragon from flight is when the wings have non enough skin to catch enough air current, may it be ripped or to small wings.

one thing i would like to see is a less rewarding yet open world difficulty dungeons, i can’t stand dungeons because it punishes ppl to quite an extent and don’t care about new players.

pro’s:

• path’s that have insta-kill enemies should have veteran enemies doing normal dmg.
• elites should not even be as common.
• the only highly difficult ones are elite bosses and a champion end boss.
• they are not scaled from the get go but only scale depending on amount of players.

con’s:

• enemies don’t drop anything higher then rare.
• after you complete the dungeon you can get no more then 40 tokens per run.
• 1 gold in the chest and no more

i would like to play in dungeons but i don’t like them to be HM-only, the whole reason why they are dying is because they are way to exclusive to even like.

at least before the sun go’s supernova, that’s for sure…….

tried yolo mouse, can’t stand it.

however, i would like the option to be able to disable the in-game cursor so i can use my own cursor, i have one that is really easy to find yet is my style

It’s the Anet way, delete things completely instead of solve the perceived problem they cause.

I’ve said it before but there is a buzzcut hairdo that wouldn’t clip that wouldn’t make our toons look like cue balls when we wear hats. Suspension of disbelief would be easier with that one, instead we get chrome domes of don’t use thisity.

That should be the default hairdo that we get when we wear hats. It won’t happen though because it’s not cash shoppable.

Name an MMO that doesn’t delete hair when your wearing a helmet. In fact name any game with character creation that doesn’t delete hair when your wearing a helmet.

It is just the reality of the system that you cannot make 1 million different models for every helmet/hat to make them make sense with every hairstyle.

hazard ops, guild wars (for the most part), SWToR.
the system to make it possible for long hair is absolutely possible, the problem is more how much time they want to use to alter all the hair styles to make it work. (which is none BTW)

Dawnbreaker.6215:

3. He has both front legs and wings. That makes no sense. The wings of bats, birds and their ancestor flying “dinosaurs” are actually their evolved arms/hands. Look at the dragons in Skyrim, that’s what a reptilian would evolve to if it became a dragon instead of a bird. Here they have front legs AND wings, I mean wtf?

you really need a lesson in fantasy creatures, a dragon has 4 legs and wings on it’s back but a wyvern has 2 legs and wings as arms.
skyrim has them called dragons but they are still wyverns no matter how you look at it, there is even a modder who wants to correct this flaw.

learn your mythology before you complain about something you have no knowledge about.

the choice is there so why not, i am a guy in real life so when i can escape from reality ill just choose whatever i want to be.
i have male characters but also female characters, to me it’s both because i can and because it fits a certain lore behind my characters.

It’s 100g, roughly the same cost as a new bl ticket weapon skin on the tp.

100G takes me months to get, try again…..

It is incredibly easy to make money in gw2. Sneeze and you’ll profit. Just actually playing the game is literally all it takes.

if i am lucky enough to get something expensive enough i get about 2 gold a day at most, tell me how that’s incredibly easy.

endless transmute charge, that would be the perfect thing to have.
one that isn’t really an item but something that unlocks throughout your account, makes transmuting allot less stressful.

in short, everything a ranger already has from launch but with more weapons of choice.

I like to think everything a ranger has failed to deliver since launch as a result of being shackled to a dumber-than-rocks pet .

Oh, and without the )&#@ing trench coat.

(What? You think the Druid won’t smear the line with Guardians?)

so now the guardian becomes the dumber-than-rocks pet…….well ok

a while ago i had the idea of removing 2 stats and linking them in a different way.

• ferocity
• cond damage

the reason is simple, ferocity makes crit damage even more powerful, this makes any other build quite useless.
and since power lacks…well…power, i think they should distribute the ferocity stat with precission and power.

with cond dmg, it has become a moot point in the game.
cond can’t do crits, they lack severely in damage and are only used for small reasons.
to buff cond builds i would say remove cond damage and base the damage on power, this will not only simplify the game through stats but it will make power the main stat for base damage.

i know cond’s are armor ignoring but they lack the dmg normal attacks don’t, it just makes no sense that dmg affected by armor is allot more powerful then dmg that is armor ignoring.

Nike.2631:

New Weapon: The bow – one of the greatest, most iconic hunting tools in the history of the human race

New Skill category: Traps – one of the most essential hunting tools in the history of the human race.

The Enemy: Elder Dragons – the ultimate peril of the world of Tyria. If we do not strive against them with our every breath, all will die.

New Profession: The Dragon Hunter – “I take the tools of the hunter and turn them against the foes that must be fought. For the good of all.”

The name wasn’t picked out of a hat… Its a graceful bit of shorthand both summing up and evoking many elements the profession encompasses.

in short, everything a ranger already has from launch but with more weapons of choice.

heck, dovakin sounds better then dragon hunter, let alone that it makes more sense.

if “dragonhunter” is the name of a sub class of the guardian just because of a bow, what are you doing with a bow when there are no dragons?
in ESO they have the dragon knight, this makes sense because it uses the essence of a dragon to fight.
this however makes no sense at all, you’re not hunting dragons when you’re using your bow mostly against non-dragons.

it’s like calling someone “bonecrusher” when he uses a dagger, or “fleshweaver” to an elementalist……

it’s not bad but way to expensive, a normal weapon skin is 400GEM…….
i already think 1 skin for 400GEM is expensive, now they make it even more expensive. (it’s half the cost of a whole armor skin set, WTF)

Because you have a 100b at 1500 range while being able to move around and projectiles following targets,compare that to the actual 100b skill of gs which roots you in place and has a 130 range and is incredibly difficult to fully land it on a person,and you might understand why some weaps have a higher base stats than others.

i move around all the time with the GS…..what are you talking about with the “root in place” part?

Sorry,i meant the GS for warrior in this case when i made the comparison about 100b rooting you into place when using it.

nop, still the same, i still move around with my warrior (GS main).
the only one who is really rooted in place is the ranger but that’s it.

quincy?
it’s maybe from an anime but the logic is written everywhere on the spec.

one thing ppl constantly forget is the part that outfits don’t need to be used over an armor piece, beside the charge cost it’s the part where every time you change armor you don’t have to transmute the armor all over again.

it’s cost efficient, it never changes and you can swap at a moment notice.
sure it has flaws but then again, transmuting armors with charges has the opposite effect.
even while you can change every single piece of armor individually you still need to pay a charge and every time you have better armor you still need to change it back to that style, costing again a charge.

outfits are stationary and can’t be mixed, armor skins are mix-able but cost allot.
it’s on you want you think is more important, cost or mix match.

the only thing i think they do have to do is allow costume headgear and armor headgear viewable regardless of which one you use, if i want to use the ice crown (HoM headgear skin) with the new outfit it would really not be such a huge problem, if anything at all.

the one reason is clipping but they can just as much add hair on head wear when your hair exceeds a certain length.

just a tip but when an OP suggest an arena duel idea no one is against it, the moment it starts going open world it’s a big NO!!!!!!
it’s really simple, the cons strongly outweighs the pros, no matter how much you try to justify this it’s a horrible idea.

open world duels = no frikin way
arena duels = sure, why not.

I do agree with most, Anet should really expand their workforce, this stagnant months of no content is proof that they are unable to retain old players. Also they could work with better communication, since they usually ask for feedback but rarely act on it.

Easier said than done. Workforce costs money. You can’t expect the same amount of content for free than you would find in a subscription-based MMO. Many people play GW2 because it’s BtP. HoT will probably fill Anet’s bank account, so we will have a lot of new content released for a while (just like in winter 2012), until the next expansion. Some games are just not designed for hardcore players.

yes you can.
Arenanet makes as much money as many subscription based games.

you are forgeting that f2p is actually one of the more profitable business models nowadays.

it’s B2P not F2P, a F2P is mostly made to make ppl spend money on power, B2P is made so you get a P2P quality game but have F2P benefits. (like no sub fee, in-game store with cosmetic gimmicks, etc…)

Gyler.8150:

Doesn’t matter, people will forget, the minute the xpac comes out, everyone will flock to buy it cause, HYPE. If you don’t agree with their game, stop playing it, if enough people do, they will take action. Otherwise, why fix if not broken?

that’s the problem, it’s everything but fixed…….a fix is the least we can ask for….

i have the CE, that already shows i payed more then most of you just on release, should i be rewarded for giving more money then most?

i tried that game just a month before release, it bores me so much i was seriously praising WoW to be a better game, and i can’t stand that grindfest at all….

if you want your money’s worth it’s better to buy the trilogy pack and the platinum pack, it sounds weird but it’s cheaper then buying EotN.

i can concur here, someone with an account just a year old has s much good loot that it scares me, i on the other hand have the worst luck.
he had a precursor drop, plenty of 30+ gold worth weapons and even got plenty of good materials worth plenty.
me?
i never ever got a weapon worth more then 3 gold and that 3 gold only happened ONES, so also no precursor or anything that can boost my gold wallet.

i can certainly say that i have an account plagued with horrible drops, it’s so bad it’s not even funny.

necro’s as minion masters are really good, ele’s with earth magic are also really good.
one advice tho, don’t let your self to be pressured to use PvX builds, they are maybe good for some but it doesn’t say anything when you can build something as good or better.

29 but just a few months and i am 30
bin playing GW since proph so…..bin playing games since snake on a dos OS

all my chars never get above 25, HAH!

Anmida.4058:

I will never understand what people find useless about necromancer in PvE. Running power wells plays out excellently in all circumstances, including PvP and WvW. I’ve never had any of the issues most of you appear to be running into in the past two years, and generally tend to be fairly capable of doing better than most by simply playing intelligently.

that’s the meta for you, most think it’s useless so they assume it’s bad.
necro’s are far from useless, it’s just that only a select few know how to use them properly.

oh and before it’s missed, GW1 has the same “porn” video as in GW2 but way older with more animations

yeah sure because expanding your bank is free right……

No, but it is an opt-in solution for an opt-in problem.

I also proposed an alternative middle ground tab to the combination of demands in this thread which you could comment on, rather than complain about the (totally reasonable) existing solution in my reply.

your middle ground is the whole suggestion of the OP, if you read the thread fully rather then assuming everyone else doesn’t know any better…

search and you will find, let’s see what you really want

https://www.google.nl/imghp

type “dryad hair” and you have more examples then you need

the human dance is nice at times but i really miss the necro female dance (triller) and the ranger female dance.

yeah sure because expanding your bank is free right……

they balanced this to allow dodging, they rather make the bullet go slow enough to dodge then making them instant-hit while unbalancing them in the progress.

funny to see so much negativity about necro’s while they outshine in survivability and control, i think it’s more because ppl expect a necro to do insta-kill instead of overall victory.
they are not made for zergs no, they are made to survive even the worst case scenario where others die allot faster in.
no support, what are you doing then?
i support all the time and win battles whether without one they lose big time.

the one thing ppl keep on forgetting is that the core profession will be improved after the update hits which will be before HoT, this means that they are already trying to get every class (including the necro) to the same level so every class has an equal use.

let’s first wait till they announce the necro, then you can judge.

Don’t think this is restricted. lol

only about 20% of the GW1 emotes have an animation in GW2, try /roar or /guitar, the emote command exists but they never bothered to add an animation with it.

sorudo.9054:

the problem here is that this is a completely unfair way to reward players, in the edn only the most dedicated (what i often call addicted) players can have even a small shot on getting a portal stone.

Except that RNG doesn’t work that way. There’s no guarantee that a super dedicated person playing 12 hours a day for a week will get the portal. For others, killing mobs for half an hour nets them their reward. I wouldn’t call 30 minutes much of a dedication or an addiction. Yeah, the overall drop rate is low, but time spent doesn’t necessarily mean reward. If it did, then everyone putting in a certain amount of time would mostly be getting their portals, but that’s not happening.

that’s because they put a damper on the drop rate, have you ever had someone who barely has any MF at all have a portal drop?
