Guild Wars 2

So I know I am not alone when I say that a good few people in this game enjoy jumping puzzles. They are fun and require skill and patience. However, the rewards from them are mediocre for the time you put in.

My suggestion is to add Jumping puzzle bags. The names of the bags would be named after the puzzle, (eg. Obsidium Sanctum Bag) and the reward would essentially be the same as a champ bag. ( T5/T6 mats, blues, greens, yellows and a rare chance for an exo.)

The amount of bags would depend on the size of the chest ( three for a big chest , two for a medium chest and one for a small chest.)

Maybe we could even get some unique jp weapon skins??

Thank you for reading.

WoW did this for MoP, don’t mean to harp on WoW too much, but it was awesome since if you’ve been playing forever your character slots are probably full. Not normally such a big deal since you can just buy character slots and you have to weigh which classes you want to make and what not. But now that they’re adding content, I feel like that weighing situation has shifted drastically. Now people have to choose to either drop extra cash on top of the cost of xpac for a character slot or delete one of the toons that they’ve invested time and effort into. Just an idea…

There is a strong chance that due to the fact that we are getting an xpac with a new class, and the fact we have to buy the xpac that they will provide a new slot for us.

If not, put aside 2g a day and you will have your char slot. There will definitely be a sale between then and now if they don’t plan on giving one away.

he can buy full setS of ascended armor.

Oh can he then? Are you very sure of this?

I know.. this is so vague… Like does he mean 2 or 10??

Phoebe Ascension.8437:

Wow so you need 20-20k champ bags, to get Legendary equivalent t6 mats… More then I expected.

So are you the source of some materials, like Charged Core, getting undercut so fast, so hard, that the buy order/sell listings are 1 copper from each other?

This is pretty much all I took out of this… The drop rates of t6 are quite clearly too low… And if people say legendarys should be “legend” and that drop rates are fine then they are missing the fact that t6 are required to craft many other things in the game.

Don’t know if it’s just me, but I really dislike the clunky big sword models that look more like clubs than swords. I really prefer swords that look like swords. ( Don’t know if I’m in the minority or not with this.)

There are a few nice models in the game such as “infinite light” and “fractal sword skin”, however both are rare skins and extremely hard to obtain.

I just wanted to put in the suggestion of a few more “thin sword like” models for the future!

Thanks for reading.

2013:

An expansion pack for Guild Wars 2 is slated for a 2H release in the US and Europe.

Can’t find the one for 2014 at the moment, will keep looking.

This brings me to a Korean log in screen but I assume the 2014 report you are talking about is the one where they mention an xpac in 2015?

“However, NCsoft is scheduled to launch an
expansion pack for Guild Wars 2 in the US and Europe in 2015.”

I realise this, but it is a reliable source and due to the fact that they submitted it before word of HoT came from anet, is reason enough for it to be true.

And yet they said the same about 2013 and 2014, which clearly didn’t happen.

It is 100% a paid “add on” of some sort ( xpac not confirmed) that you WILL have to pay for, due to anets predicted profit in t4 2015 being over triple that of the other quarters.

Keep in mind that neither ArenaNet nor NCSoft had anything at all to do with that report, and the company have been making basically the same predictions every year since release.

I would like to see the following new ways for acquiring Fractal Weapons:

1. You get a Fractal Weapon Box for completing Fractal Frequenter (500 Fractals completed). This is a one-time bonus and is retroactive.

2. You can trade 100/250/500(? Open to negotiation) Pristine Fractal Relics for a Fractal Weapon Box. As part of this change, you can trade back any existing Fractal Weapon skin you don’t want for 100 Pristine Fractal Relics.

3. Fractal Weapon Boxes are now a very rare drop from completing Fractal Level 40 – 50.

4. A new Fractals meta-achievement is added where you get a Fractal Weapon Box for completing every single Fractals achievement (except Fractal Frequenter). (This may be a problem if ANet decides to add more Fractals in the future, however.)

This is clearly a most simple solution, to an on going problem since the fractaled update. It makes everyone happy as it removes the rng whilst still keeping the skins exclusive , rare and hard to obtain. I would say 250 relics btw.

The most important thing to remember as a player who has played since the begining and still enjoys to level up, is don’t rush to the end game. Try a bit of everything as you go along → Everything gives exp. Do some pvp, try following the commander in wvw and most importantly, explore! The world is massive. Look for cool things and do the fun open world events. Ignore the arrow. It is just a guide.

These are the only things yet to be seen for a tier in PvP.
Would it be possible to add in a PvP tier that gives some relics and maybe the daily chest with a chance of the skins as a final tier reward? Don’t think it takes too much away from the fractals tbh…

When wvw matchups are bad, and commanders aren’t getting fights, they like to go to eotm. It’s predictable and the zergs are to stupid to run and wp.

I actually forgot to mention how many boxes we have as backskins… I don’t like big clunky boxes coming out of my back… Sab backskins, most of the crafting backskins and the spirit backskin are all boxes…. What I would give for a scarf or a cloak!!. The God backpieces are all nice as well.

In my opinion, the backpiece makes the outfit. But most people in this game just use the fractal or the catcher backskins….
Could we get some new inventive backskins that aren’t plants or anything remotely in the shape of wings? Thanks!!!

We have already been told that capes are a no due to clipping, but what about the next best thing? The male light armor in this game is either so banal or wayy too extreme to suit my ele and I think a scarf would be the perfect thing to spruce it up. Some thing long that flows behind when he runs!
What do you think?

This post got my hopes up a bit too much… Tried with my character that has been created since head start and it didn’t work… Tried then with 3 other characters and no hope. It says something about visiting the priory in LA but there is no priory in la. Hope things will be cleared up soon.

Kinda hope it’s free though… I JUST pumped a decent amount of money into the gem store that I wouldn’t have if I had known there was an expansion coming….

Soo I got my first precursor a few months back and I decided to start crafting a legendary. I know it should be a long term goal but it is started to get in he way of how I play gw2 ( If something new comes out I want I’m like “no you have to focus on the legendary”.

So I want to know how you guys actively grind for your legendarys. I play Wvw normally and its just not yielding enough t6 atm. I’m about 67% of the way and I want to get it over with. Thanks for the help!!

Tldr: How do you legendary?

NovaanVerdiano.6174:

For rewards: Let rings drop from 1-20, amulets from 21-40 and accessories from 31-50. This way you can get a full trinket set without the need to spend laurels or do guild missions/spend even more laurels + ectos.

Guess I’ll sit down tomorrow and think of a few things, if I don’t forget it.

I also think and improvement in gold is necessary. Level 50 fractals should not warrant the same gold reward as level 1.

So maybe the gold rewards could be: x*thefractaltier. So for example t1 (1-9) would be something like 1.5*1 and t2 (10-19) would be 1.5*2.

Also some sort of progress towards a skin would be nice. (we already have pristine relics so this could work) Maybe something like 25 pristines per skin?

Rip : RTL, Mist form + heal, stun breaker on blink, fgs, Meteornado, nice might stacking with strength runes.
Probably other things I’m forgetting about. Not worth playing ele anymore.

Forgot the EA nerf lol.

Ele had 3 good utility/elites outside of cantrips… Fgs, Ice bow and meteornado. If they wanted to improve diversity why would they nerf these forcing ele even more into cantrips…

Any ele signet ( unless exploring with air ) makes me laugh a little

Axelwarrior.9084:

I don’t know about that, but I can definitely tell you which sub-forum is best for PvP questions.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp

Its a valid question as its a discussion about profession/spvp…..
I normally play mesmer/guard. Fun and easy.

Tman.6349:

They could cast Meteor Shower from behind the zerg (1200 range) and then go into Tornado form for a huge damage boost. With 25 might, fury, banner of discipline/strength, arcane lightning, spotter, empowered allies and blasting staff, you’re looking at casting a Meteor Shower at around 5400 power at 245% crit damage with 100% crit chance. I know this example has ‘all the planets alligned’, but I think you get the picture. 24 AoE Meteors, under these conditions, are gonna wreck a zerg. Even without all the buffs from other professions, it’s a lot of damage.

Where are you getting these stats from? Can I have a screenshot please?
Despite the meteor-nado nerf its clear from the balance thread that ele is getting the nerf hammer AGAIN (we all remember the RTL/MF and heal nerf) and not getting a significant buff in any way.

Why should I have to do map exploration for my legendary? Why should I have to run countless fractals in a futile attempt at getting the skin I want? Its only 4 fractals… Get over it . It could be so much worse

Was so sure they were gonna buff these drops or fix the fracatl weapon boxes that are supposed to be in the game or even introduce a ticket system with the beginning of the ls2 but I was terribly wrong and terribly disapointed…..

Azrael.4960:

Got sword, axe and shield skins the last 2 weeks (while I was infracted away)

14 fractals – 3 skins?
Probably the perfect drop rate (not too rare but rare enough to be a grind….)
If only it was like this for everyone!

Fastest pug fractal run I have had to date had two rangers in it… Sadly, most rangers can’t play their class well so that’s where the bad reputation comes from…..

You and many other people who say this should re-phrase that to ‘most rangers you’ve seen’ because I’ve been in many dungeon runs with rangers and never had any problem at all, whether it was Caudicus’ Manor, Twilight Arbor, Citadel of Flame or Arah.

Nope sorry I have played since CB and my guild has had over 50 members for the most part of this time and they would also say good rangers are few and far between. Gg you have been very lucky …. Now let’s compare your experiences with the majority who have RQ due to one bad ranger in a party.

Fastest pug fractal run I have had to date had two rangers in it… Sadly, most rangers can’t play their class well so that’s where the bad reputation comes from…..

Count me in for Eu if you bring me luck and a fractal sword skin <3

I think the point is I have spent 30-40 hours doing fractals with 0 progress towards the skin I want and absolutely nothing to show….. How many people making their legendaries or ascended weps etc. can say the same thing? I’m also sure there are people in the same situation as me with hundreds of hours…….

well, its not just the skins… I need rings as well for my 7 characters and I also want the back piece. But its mostly the weps. I think if I haven’t got a wep I want by the time I have the complete back piece I’m going to give up on fractals.

According to the wiki there have been reports of low-level players in low-level areas getting precursors, but higher level players have a higher chance.

eekzie.5640:

Not really annoyed by the low droprate, makes them more special.

Not really that special as the drop rate was like 25% on level 48 fractals before the nerf so there are people with 5/6 skins and now with the wardrobe they are even less unique….
I am just about to start running the 31-39 tier so I have been running 29 and 19 of recent! I just think its annoying that the drop rate is low and even lower ( gotta divide that by 19 for the one you want.)
Maybe Its just my bad rng but I am just curious if anyone has been getting lucky with them recently

So I recently decided to start doing fractals to acquire some of the fractal skins as they are my favourite ones in the game. I looked up drop rate and the likes and there were a few reddit posts about a nerf in drop rate since the fractaled ls arc. I myself have done around 30 dailies and have not gotten one skin. I don’t expect to get it over night but seriously, something has to be done. At least for a normal skin you can grind out the gold to buy it but this? No. I might never get a skin. Also what’s the deal with the boxes? I have heard rumours they aren’t even in the game!

Jski.6180:

Its a cool ideal but that seems a lot like a scepter and your saying P/P not just pistol main hand only why not just make it a rifle that will fill the roll of a scepter like 2h wepon that missing from ele. As is ele only has a long ranges for a 2h wepon they are missing a 2h melee wepon and a 2h in-between wepon. Other then that sound like a good ideal.

I like the sound of this. Element a list has no real long range damage as staff is mostly a support wep. It would be nice if they made rifle a long range high damage weapon , kept pistols for medium range and implemented a sword for short range. Ele would then have 2 weps per range. Imo ele still doesn’t have much build diversity but this would help as more weps = more diversity.

My fave system I have seen in an mmo to date was where each weekend guilds would fight other guilds over cities in the game in an instanced version of the city! The winner would then get the city and get gold/resources from the city.

If there should be a guild system upgrade(because let’s be honest its not the best at the moment) how would you see it implemented?

Mbelch.9028:

Another terribly specific ‘build’ post.. You’ve given no specifics, and the title isn’t indicative as to the surprise inside, if you will.

If you were in anyway confused about the specificity of my post, what I meant was what runes ( the little spheres you infuse armor with) do most people use whilst playing the elementalist class and whilst in a zerg with pugs in WvW…. ( I was looking for some suggestions like the first guy gave which I am thankful for)

What runes do most people run with while zerging? My build is all soldiers and 0 20 0 30 20!

Just curious here what time the update will be at! I looked around but could not find anything. Thanks in advance.

This for me was the most memorable event in GW2 so far! If it’s bad I’m out. Jus sayin

Did a full fractal with my guard and it went up to lvl 5….

Long story short my guard was level 7 my ele was 4 and my personal reward got put back to 4…. Might not be an inconvenience to lost people (3 fractals) but that’s like all I get to run a week

So I think based on rumour Anet has said that GvG will be coming next year.(Don’t quote me on this.) I would love to see competition over the different zones in the PvE map maybe once or twice a week. Maybe a bid system and the guild that wins the bid gets to fight and try to take the zone from the guild that own it in an instanced version of the zone! How would you like to see GvG implemented??

So Gw2 has a massive living world but tbh it feels empty… apart from vistas and pois there is nothing really else to explore. I would just love if there were a couple of things in each zone that would catch your eye and you could honestly say “hey thats pretty cool”. It would make the world feel more immmersive

So I never did that many fractals as it was time consuming and I’m a very casual player but I think my elementalist has a level of 4 and my guard has a level of 8! Seeing as personal reward level Will now be account bound Do these levels get added together or reset or what??

just wondering if thee is an all around mesmer build that is decent at support/dps and is tanky enough to hold its own in a 1v1…. (I know I just described a war but mesmer looks challenging and fun to play!)

yes they only drop gilded strong boxes sadly the wiki says they drop from risen and destroyers! any champ farms involving either of them??

I would really like one of these hammers but im low on gold atm….. does anyone know a popular champ farm where you can get gilded coffers as a drop?? I would like to get these as a drop from this farm or if not make the money required to buy one
