Guild Wars 2

yup i like this idea.

if you get scammed in trade it’s because you were stupid. just saying…

mounts sell like hotcakes. charge 20$ for one and many, many people will buy them. i don’t see how anyone could reasonably argue that mounts skip content. if anything they increase it by making travel more interesting for players and therefore reducing waypoint travel.

i’ll play with some stuff and see if it helps. thanks for the suggestions hopefully i’ll be getting a mouse with many programmable buttons. my current one has three and they are used for weapon swap and dodging and healing.

oh cool i didn’t know that. thanks!

mind you it is still very uncomfortable for the 7-… skills while still having fingers on the wasd keys.

while i enjoy wvwvw i understand where you’re coming from.

I have recently begun playing a necro, and I find that kiting is frustrating because you cannot drop a ground target skill while holding the right mouse button, but if you let it go the camera rotates around. when kiting i hold the right click and run so i can see the opponent behind me and drop stuff on them. as it is now you have to stop to drop a ground targeted skill or face the camera forward and drop it blindly behind you.

this also applies to the inability to zoom the camera while holding the right mouse button.

I think this would help streamline combat.

well by that logic we should also remove speed buffs. that’s all a mount is, a speedbuff. and frankly when my staff speed buff last 9s vs what other classes get i’d really like a mount.

and there’s like zero waypoints in wvwvw, which must make lots and lots of people totally frustrated when they die. i know it does to me.

anyway i have yet to see a good argument against mounts.

hopefully soon, i really want mounts for wvwvw

Human elementalist? Gotta go with human for any choice – Increase ‘dem’ odds.

haha femcharr guardian :P

norn warrior :o

no because the best way to farm badges is to do jumping puzzles…

not many people like orr, but it does get easier when you get exotics. i was so angry at level 72 or 73 because i kept trying to swim in straights of devastation and kept dying and kept having to go back to trinity because all the WPs were contested.

it gets easier :P now the mobs pose no threat to me unless they come in groups of 5+ but it’s still annoying to be dragged and crippled and stunned.

agreed.

blah blah 15 characters

Turning that into a standard only 15-20 people can join a raid group would make guilds pick guildies only and leave the PUGS to fend for themselves with no organized leadership,

i don’t think this is a valid argument. that’s already happeneing now anyway so i really fail to see what the difference would be other than that with raids you’d have a greater chance to get into a group because of bigger group size.

the drop rate on badges is very very low.

1. get rid of commander
2. add raids of 25 people
3. FUN.

commander is useless and annoying.

yeah I don’t want to go back to xx# man raids in this situation
Need the ability to use PUGs not just guilds and closed raids would be just that IMO. Would trade sense of WvW Community for Elitism

why wouldn’t you be able to PuG a raid? you just invite people to the raid. you can see the raid players on the map, which in itself would eliminate the most important thing a commander has (the blue icon). i picked 25 man because that’s a big number that would work with zerg sizes but really it can be anything so long as it’s over 5 people… it’s about getting people together in a group.

in my experience there’s zero community in wvwvw now. when i’m in a zerg nobody talks… they just flood around. being in a raid would foster a sense of community i think. as it is now you can’t see what anyone has on them for conditions, boons health etc.. and can’t support them very effectively because of it.

having a raid would get people grouping and talking to each other more than it does now. just like the “anyone can hit a mob once and get credit” is kind of killing random teamplay encouters in PVE.

1. get rid of commander
2. add raids of 25 people

i’ve never seen anyone do well in a 3v1. you get stunlocked and die.

buffing the losing side would go a long way to making matches better. i don’t think anyone enjoys 199,000-9,000-11,000 matchups.

well it’s not like getting stuck on a server is a big deal. you can still talk to guildies. i usually pug and tbh i don’t even notice a difference between servers.

i stopped reading when you said that an opinion can be wrong.

“The earth is flat”
“The earth is carried by four elephants”
“Snakes only eat earth”
“Angela Merkel is a lizard”

All four are opinions. Three of these are opinions once held by the majority of the people in a given country. All of them are factually wrong.

Opinions can, in fact, be wrong. It takes a really, really bad education to think that opinions cannot be wrong.

lol no they are beliefs. an opinion would be “this book is good”. try again.

opinions are how you FEEL about something and therefore they cannot be wrong.

I feel that destroying all man kind is the right thing to do. Just my opinion.

not sure what the point of this is.

rytlock is by far the best destiny’s edge member. he’s the only smart one of the lot. the black citadel is very cool and so are the ascalonian areas. I like that the story is grittier than some of the other ones. i’m playing through sylvari atm and i cant help but sigh at all the british accents, weird sayings, general head-in-the-clouds and even fear at just about everything. I don’t feel like i’m anything in the sylvari campaign.

The biggest thing though is definitely the character select screen. tiny sylvari to massive char! it takes up the whole screen and i love it.

cultural armor?

well guardians are terrible for wvwvw… it’s a ranged characters game. guardians also have little defense. sure you get armor but that doesn’t matter vs a zerg because you’ll die in two seconds anyway. you can’t really attack as melee because you’ll die and you can’t really go ranged because your ranged weapons can’t shoot very far. you’re slow and have very few escape tactics. honestly when i switched to necro i was amazed at how much more stuff they get… they can actually run away at more than a snail’s pace.

when defending a keep you basically just stand there because there’s literally nothing you can do as melee. support is only slightly less useless, mostly because limit to 5 person skills seems made for dungeons and nobody pays any attention to you or your buffs.

i never make money in wvwvw either. I guess you need to find a decent zerg that’s just capping stuff without fighting a rival zerg. if you don’t die you can make money, but if you’re on the losing side you’re not getting diddly.

the tier 2 ones look much nicer.

@stof: you missed the point. you can find many of these skins in ascalon. they are not race restricted at all. it isn’t just limited to charr cultural weapons either. you can find lots of these skins in class starting areas.

the rainbow bow is hilarious!

your link doesn’t work

my only complaint is that mobs reset every 3 seconds.

I feel like buffing the losing team would help promote a more even fight instead of the current system of the strong getting stronger and the weak getting a karma and exp buff.

sounds like it will be good!

I think the solution lies more in keeping the bots out in the first place. I don’t know why this game has so many bots.

Exactly right! But apparently Anet has a “hard time” telling what a bot is and is not…..

As I typed that I couldn’t help but laugh…I mean it is sooo terribly hard to tell…don’t you think? =)

well i don’t know i sometimes have trouble distinguishing a mob of 20 level 12 naked people named kwbfewkbfw all running together with their identical brown bears in frostgorge from real players.

is it worth losing another stat for? i can’t say. i assume the base drop % is very low, and you’re giving up a lot to get that buff.

i’d rather have more of a stat than an increase in drops that may or may not be noticeable.

I think the solution lies more in keeping the bots out in the first place. I don’t know why this game has so many bots.

what are those brown vine tornado things? they hit you on land or in the water, don’t appear to come from any mobs and you can’t do anything about them. there’s that one skill point in malchor’s leap i just can’t get solo because of these things. they’re hitting me for about 1k and they strike every few seconds.

i stopped reading when you said that an opinion can be wrong.

just transfer once a day to the areas you need.

wow you really needed to make a thread for this? this is something you should be handling with these people in game rather than whining on the forums about it.

they didn’t do anything against the ToS and even if they had this thread shouldn’t have been made.

that leaves a 99% chance i won’t get one… i’m still not going to waste time on trash mobs with that drop rate.

if trash mobs were easier it wouldn’t be a problem, but some of those groups are nightmares.

yeah when i die and see that i have to run back across half the map i usually just leave.

ain’t nobody got time for dat.

i hope the power doesn’t go out. power outages are so boring…

i think that some scenarios are specifically set up so that you will go down over and over. there’s 1-2 down hits that you can’t anticipate, or groups of enemies that will down you in several seconds just from their combined basic attacks. then there’s the ones that knock you down before you even get up from the first one. then there’s the fact that in many cases stun breakers don’t even work in dungeons.

and honestly saying you didn’t die in CM and it’s easy because you effectively bypassed all the hard enemies is a little rich.

i don’t think i’ve every seen a mmo that allowed multi boxing… for obvious reasons.

of course support is bad… Anet doesn’t want a holy trinity. And what’s the point in being support if you go down in 2 hits in dungeons anyway…

must be a lot of thieves in this thread. 12k hits are broken. period.

100% agree. It’s a horrible system. The worst part is even if you do shift the skill orders around the pictures don’t move with them.

well the 80 exotics are usually around 2g so you’ll be getting one pretty quick. the cultural weapons are for the skin more than anything.

They could have made festivals that actually make sense though… sylvari day or something.

they’re super slow too.
