Guild Wars 2

is the play list in the correct folder?
i had this when i switched from win XP to win7, the folder what all of a sudden somewhere else and i was searching my butt of to get things working again.
so maybe it has something to do with a new iOS or something?

Arena Net needs sometime to advertise.

They are advertising. I’ve seen it. They are advertising “Free DLC every two weeks”. LW is not going away.

a DLC is permanent, it’s also something that adds stuff.
LS doesn’t add stuff, it changes places and is gone after a month.

and why would i, as a PvE-er, stay clear in a place where it’s made for PvE?
really, is it really so difficult to comprehend that a PvE place is made for PvE and not PvP
i don’t care if it’s not true PvP, i don’t care if it might hold a place in WvW, i care when players fight each other in a place you’re not suppose to fight in PvP style.
if you want to test your build, play WvW, that’s a really big testing ground.
also, allot of players don’t even go to WvW to play WvW, they go there to buy weapons and armor, to go to LA for free and to join up and make a party so they don’t need to look all over the place.

If you are annoyed by seeing two people duel you should be just as annoyed by seeing someone fight an NPC in the open world.

ok, i’m done with you, you simply have no respect for someone else’s play style.
all you want is shoove duels in a place where it doesn’t belong and keep on whining about it because you want it, you don’t even think about anything else but your self.
you are not the only one playing and i am not the only one against duels, play PvP in PvP places and leave PvE alone.
you want to test builds, play PvP where you’re suppose to.
you want an objective, play WvW or something.
STOP RUINING pVe, IF YOU CAN’T COMPREHEND EVEN THAT THEN I SUGGEST YOU STOP PLAYING PvE GAMES

so, is that clear enough or do i have to go all sesamstreet on you.

the problem with gold sink is that it need to work both ways, ppl who farm all the time barely notice it while the non-farmers need to save up their gold in order to buy anything at all.
i personally find the gold sink only benefit the rich players while punishing the poor ones, if they really want to make it good for both parties then something has to be balanced in that regard.
i know it’s a kittene but something has to happen, farmer have it just to easy while the poor get laughed at simply because they like to enjoy the game but trough finances can’t.

I still consider it a coat if it covers ANY part of the legs though, and the duelist coat, from memory, does cover a bit of the legs.

no leg covering here.

One. Since only humans can wear the assassin set.

that you play a different race doesn’t change the fact that it’s a second set.

ok, let’s play it your way.
why would anyone, with the way you want to push duels in an area where PvP should never happen, agree to add PvP in an PvE area?
better yet, we already have 2 PvP places and ppl giving you a solution to the duel problem by keeping it in WvW, give me one really good reason why PvE has to be ruined by duel lovers again?

you have 2 places to duel, sPvP and potentially WvW yet you want it in the only place PvE-ers can escape from the whole PvP crap.
all i see is “but i want to test my skills on other players” and “i just want to be able to duel someone” without actually giving a really good reason why, duels are fine if they stay in PvP-specific places.

and one more thing, if you want duels because it’s also in a different game then i ask you this, why do you waste our time when you can just as much play that game you so love to duel in.

give me one good reason as to why it shouldn’t be in PvE. It’s not forcing PvP in your world, you don’t have to accept duels. As for WvW and sPvP, those places are not for dueling. They have specific objectives to accomplish and you just make your team mad when you are holding up a spot and not contributing to the objective.

one reason, i even have to choose?
well, trolling comes to mind, annoyance also comes to mind, annoying duels while trying to enjoy the game is yet another one…….oh wait, you said one right?
also, if you’re holding a spot, how is that my problem?
it’s still in a PvP area and in an open world, not a PvE world but an open world nonetheless.

and again, you still have not given a reason why it should be in a PvE place, all you do is throw the exact same question to the opposite person and never provide even one good reason.

so like GW1 hero’s?

The choice of attire for medium class is basically do you want your basic trench coat, a trench coat with buckles, a trench coat with frayed edges, or let me see we have another trench coat here in the back that’s leafy. Granted there are a few as in 1-3 that aren’t trench coats.

I lol’ed in real life! The sad part is that it is true and trench coats ARE our only options. Currently, anyway…

And phew, I thought it was just me. Good to know others are having the same thoughts on this issue!

Not true. We have ONE armour option for our medium wearers that isn’t a coat.

Duelist, and all the named clones of it.

two actually, human T3 is really made in the assassin style…….just a pity we don’t have an assassin to fill the gap, but i digress.

i don’t know why Anet is taking so long to think about new armors because a whole wiki is full of designs they can use, it’s even a wiki officially from them:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Armor
(right side is a small menu, click on any of the profs to see the gallery)

looks like manga carta……tho i rather want something like this.

ok, let’s play it your way.

PvP = player verses player
PvE = player verses environment
so is aPvE place a place for duels, something that is, in fact, PvP?
NOOOOOOOOOOO

have a character and keep it for a year and you have something litterally 20X more powerful, a scroll that makes a character lvl 20 in one go.
i rather them changing the scroll in something like “you gain XP equal as gaining 20 levels”, you still need to keep your character for a year but it makes it worthwhile.

i have an idea, what about making duels possible ONLY in WvW.
it keeps PvP where it belongs and keeps annoying duel brats away from PvE, we PvE-ers only have one place and you want to ruin it…..keep your hands of our only neck of the woods.

it’s still possible but it requires Anet to adjust some parts, allow a text file like a simple .ini to replace all the text when the ini file has the correct NPC NR and dialect NR.
for the user it’s going to be a hell of a chore to make such a file but in the end, Anet doesn’t have to translate anything and the player can see everything in their own language.

…..yeah…no.
i asked IN-GAME music, your idea simply promotes downloading the music illegally to get the music but not in the same way.
i want a way to let the game play a list of music in-game of GW1 and GW2, it needs to be a player that detects the arena and chooses the appropriate music for the mood.
in queensdale i expect eye of the storm, gwen’s theme and temple of tolerance while in places like orr i expect something like Althea’s Theme and eve’s theme.

simply put, the playlist is insufficient to make this possible.

did you know that there is no PvE dailies…….
a PvE daily has no mist in the list, with the mist it remains a general/pvp-included dailies.

a sheet would not hurt, i never got why my great sword that looks more like a long sword has to be on my back bare and ready to get rusty.

There are games in which paying for gear/guns/tanks pretty much guarantees a win over other players in a competition.

In GW2, due to the nature of the combat, max gear is no guarantee of a victory.

Even so, it does help. Especially in sPvP/WvW, every single bit of stat helps you to win against your opponent.

Not true. Skill has greater weight than stats.

if that was so, then explain to me why zergs keep on farming low level places for gold and armor drops, ruining it for low levels.
why is it so important to have at least rare armor to be accepted in a party, why a white armor is seen as trash?

while playing the game, it becomes clear that every time i listen to the in-game music, i barely listen when GW2 specific music play’s.
however, when GW1 music plays it gives me chills, wanting to hear more.

so i was wondering, might it be possible to make a playlist to ether make our own selection of music in-game so we can define our own playlist or have the ability to choose to only play ether GW2 music or GW1 music?

an expansion is something like adding the crystal desert or the fire islands, not adding some non-sense event with some left over dungeons……

i do think that things like doing a dungeon or killing a champion is a bit to extreme for a daily, the old version of dailies was my favorite because i could simply do the list while playing normally.

i dunno why ppl keep on being so stubborn but Anet knows how to release new places and expansions, just because you see things happen doesn’t mean they are doing nothing about an expansion.
when factions was released we had no idea we got another chapter only half a year later, it was only speculation until they released some info about 2 months before release.

if they are working on an expansion they will not say anything until they are sure to release correct info, we already have signs that points to an expansion and until they have something to show you, you will hear nothing.

you’re wrong about the animations tho, they already have them…..

it would certainly be handy, i hate it when i am doing a jumping puzzle and someone comes along to cast a speed buff. >_<

fun thing is, i can play with every single weapon in GW1 having only one profession and have a bigger advantage then i have in GW2.
if a LMAO emote was here, i would’ve used it at least 10X

One thing that bothers me with this game is that the game is quite plain, it’s dead under all that lore.
From an RP perspective, this game is just way to lifeless to even begin to immerse our self in the game.
Now it’s difficult to add immersion in an MMO and it will never get to the level that skyrim can give, but it’s still possible to make the game more immersive and less dead in the water.

Dynamic weather
They said before the beta that dynamic weather is in the game, later on they said it’s only during dynamic events.
I find that unacceptable, i can understand that weather should change during a DE but if that’s the only way to get different weather then it just doesn’t justify.
The game should have a system that allows for random rainfall/snowfall and windy weather, making the game more alive and welcoming to play trough.
It literally is the difference between light and day, it will make the game more alive and it gives you a more immerse feeling.

Closer forests
This one might be quite misleading so let me explain, this is how the forests are in GW2:
http://tagn.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/gw2forest.jpg
This is how i expect a forest to be:
http://bestgamewallpapers.com/files/ceiron-wars/through-the-forest.jpg

Now i am not asking for a closed up forest where you can’t see your own character trough all the bushes but at least have some more bushes then the few along a road, a forest is suppose to be full of life, not full of empty space.
This will make the forests a place that really feels off-road, a place where survival does matter.

I just find forests in GW2 so plain and empty, it’s like a garden neatly made to be accessible for everyone.

Busy street
When scrolling trough divinity’s reach it always felt quite off, such a big city yet the streets are more empty then we have it on a Sunday morning, completely lifeless.
So i would suggest to add a market and place plenty of NPC’s, it improves the immersion of a city so much it’s hard to describe.

I hope some of them get in the game, i don’t expect much but we’ll see.

when you use well of blindness and well of corruption in the right way they become boring to fight, necro’s are really allot more powerful then you think.

just remove soul bound from the game, not per item type but globally.

the thing is, even if all the text is translated correctly and every single grammar and spelling flaw is ironed out by a group of players, they still need to ad another category within the code and place all the text in the right order on the right place/NPC/whatever.
another thing you need to consider is that you first need to understand what the text is saying before placing it anywhere, otherwise you end up with a description about a fireball on life transfer.

it’s not that they can’t, it’s that it takes months of work to add only one language, even with the man power you first need to understand the language before you can add it.

you have sPvP, you have WvWvW and now you are whining that you want open PvP in a PvE centric area?
really, we PvE-ers only have one place to go and you want to ruin that too, stay away…PLEASE!

and when someone asks for a dutch translation, a language that is spoken in 3 parts of the world, it’s a no go all around.
if one language, barely spoken at all, is translated for the game then i simply ask the same for my own.
i rather play the english version but i know some ppl who are horrible in the english language, it’s sometimes fun to see them try and fail but i understand the frustration.

FinalPatriot.8034:

How about hair styles for all races. Essentially, a Human can access Norn styles, etc. It’s all about character creation options.

let’s stack it up a bit, all the GW1 hair for norn and humans, no cut outs and not only for hair changer tokens, from the moment you create your character.
i would not even mind paying 800 gems for it, we are missing so many hair styles it’s sickening.

i do wonder, why do ppl want to ruin it for PvE players while you have WvW?
i mean, if duels are possible there then i don’t mind, it doesn’t affect me since i barely go there at all.

when you are not happy about something you say it on the board, ppl who are happy the way it is don’t have a reason to be here.
however, simply changing it with a higher price exchanges the happy ppl, while a set of players can now walk away a different set of players go to the board to complain about the change.

like they say, silence is a sign of good work, happy ppl don’t have to speak out.

You need some kind of trading post in gw2, this game isn’t about gear drops.

you’re ether sarcastic here or you have never seen the zerg trains……

This game isn’t only about gear drops. Look at how a majority of high-end rewards are earned through non-drop methods (dungeon tokens, gem store, crafting, etc.)

excuse me for that, i meant how easy it is to get gear by farming gold trough zerg trains.
so with that i meant to say, it’s more about gold farming and daily farms.

if you don’t want to see ppl crying (which is actually a rude way of saying that we express our opinion), don’t go to a forum and read the posts.

Did you not quit a while ago? Why do you keep coming back?

i thought this was a forum for everyone, not just addicts…..

The forum are for people that play the game, not for people that can’t seem to move on from a game they seem to hate.

and who said i hate the game?
i hate the zerg fest that ruins the game, not the game it self….

i do wonder, why are ppl worried about something that only saves a ton of time?
if i buy allot of hair spray for different reasons and then i can exchange one for an all around hair spray do i expect a refund on the rest?
ofcouse not, you bought it, you were to impatient so deal with it.

emikochan.8504:

this might be close to impossible but what about this idea, we simply get along and work things out along the way.
if you have a jerk in the party, ask your self why (s)he is even in the party to begin with.

really, after playing GW1 for 8 years now i never had anyone being a jerk because i always talk to them, get to know my team before heading out in a dungeon.
is it really so difficult to simply talk to the team for 2 minutes or are we so anti-social that we expect everyone to get in line without even discussing strategy?

actually from my stand point they are way to much the focus of the game, when i see someone boasting about how many achievements they completed all i can think about is “he probably zerged most of them”.
i am not saying it’s a horrible idea to have achievements, i just think that less is better.
i do agree that there should be something added that adds a reason to do them, a token for instance that let’s you buy stuff you otherwise need to farm and grind to get.

i have a problem with the profane armor, this bug is in the game from point one but i got sick of it not being fixed yet.
every time i use a dark color it changes in something quite light, some colors even change in a completely different color.

as you can see, i applied the standard red on the armor, however, the armor it self turns orange.
please fix this.

at least have an item that changes a item to account bound, it’s so frikin frustrating when i buy a skin from the gem store, apply it on an armor and then wanting to give it to a different character, only to found out that i have to buy 2 new armors and 2 transmutation stones so it can be changed for that character.

i have an idea, what about making it so that all the champions in lvl 40 and below areas can only be taken down for reward with 10 players and less.
that way all the zergs in lvl 40 and lower areas can take a hike, ppl can actually enjoy the game as it’s designed and zerg ppl can do their zerg somewhere where tey actually need to do something in order to win.

zergs are just a bunch of kitten, all they can do is chase a commander and hit as fast as they can so they have a reward without effort.
pff, i bet they don’t even have the skill to survive anything without a zerg protecting them, what i can take down on my own they need 10 players just to do only half the same.

open world duels will not just be bad within the duel world, but also in PvE places in general.
you think it’s a good idea, guess again.
imagine you just want to play around in queensdale, no farming/zerging/whatever but just have a great time.
now a player wants to duel, you decline.
what are the options when the player keeps on challenging you?
block: useless because the player is still there.
using a waypoint: yeah, try to repeat that a few hundred times, you can kiss your gold goodbye.
ignore the player: tried that so many times, kill steal comes in mind where they kill every single enemy close bye in one hit just to annoy you.

so is dueling a good idea in an open PvE world, nope, not even close.
if you want to duel there are plenty of ways to do it, if you want it added in a more controlled manner, have an arena to fight it off.

Again, more hyperbole—this idea that, given the ability to request a duel, everyone will automatically single you out and chase you down with duel spams until you log out. Yes, it’s possible, but not likely, and definitely not a good reason to disallow it.

Do you think they should disallow group invites because a troll is free to constantly spam you with party invites? It’s possible but how often does it really happen?

how often?
4/5 duel invites end up like that and i have played more MMO’s then i have fingers and toe’s, they are extremely annoying and always keep on annoying the player till you ether log out or quit entirely.
duelers are a poison that should never happen, in fact, is there any reason why it should be added when there are so many problems involved.

btw, every time you see someone against it you simply dismiss it, up until now you have never ever gave even one good solution or reason why it should be added.

open world duels will not just be bad within the duel world, but also in PvE places in general.

so it’s good for ppl to spend 200 points more while they still only have one character?
no matter how you look at it, making something more expensive because of a flawed system being removed isn’t an excuse.
the whole soul bound crap is ridicules from the core and i have never seen anyone actually liking it for a good reason, it’s just ridicules of them to make something more expensive simply because they finally added something we asked for.
also, why is it good to replace one item with the same and make it more expensive, if it’s just because of the account bound stuff then it’s simply a greedy way to get money.

the only solution within this situation is to keep the normal one on it’s normal price and have a choice, ether pay 800 for a soul bound version or pay 1K for an account bound version.

i see ppl liking the soul bound status but for what reason?
it only bothers us and doesn’t have any added value, it’s actually one of the reasons why i think this game fails in what Anet claims.

exactly the reason why i asked the question, you can’t just add a mode and expect everything to work the way you want it.
ill give you an example:
player 1 plays normal mode, it’s a player that simply plays for the enjoyment and relaxation.
player 2 plays hard mode, this player loves to go all out and go’s to great lengths for a challenge.

player 1 enters queensdale, kills some enemies and does some events.
player 2 enters queensdale and expects all the enemies to be more challenging.
player 2 attacks a centaur and it takes a bit before it’s dead, player 1 helps player 2.

now how do you solve this situation?
you can give player 2 a higher reward when the centaur is dead but that leaves the mode open for exploits, you can also lower the reward but that makes the mode useless and HM players become quite disrespectful to NM players.
you can also make the enemy harder the moment player 2 attacks the enemy but that makes player 1 quite mad and simply walks away, separating the player base.
the same is with instances, if you make 1 HM and 1 NM instance it separates the player base even more, especially when you look at the mentality of a group of GW1 players (allot of HM-only players, even dishing the NM players just because they play their own way)

and i have 3 other scenarios that shows why it’s not so simple, i suggest (and it’s not meant as an offense) to think the mode trough, find a solution to make this mode possible without running in the bigger problems.
