Guild Wars 2

NO……………………………………………..

Blude.6812:

I’d be happy if they fixed the ranger pet bug and stacking issues they introduced last patch as well as targeting!

I just want fishing, and bring back loading screen lore. Fishing rod was datamined so long ago and I don’t understand why they remove loading screen lore in the first place.

Just wondering are we gonna get a huge feature patch before HoT and bring us some awesome features like fishing.

So, my pc is not that good, my GW2 usually run at 20-30 fps, but today I logged in and I got 50+fps at all time, anyone know why is this happening?

Announce SAB is coming back but not actually. Imagine the rage.

So much this, we need this so much. This feature will not only provide us convenience, but it will also take GW2’s combat to a new level , there are so many cool useful consumables that will make combat way more deeper and more intersting.

I’m looking for a mmo to fill the time before HoT drop, how is GW1 right now? Is it still fun? Also HoM reward is another goal for me, which one do I buy? I’m thinking Platinum edition which contain EoTN, do I have to buy Nightfall/faction?

OMG can people stop Necro this post?

TheDaiBish.9735:

For example, ‘challenging group content’ could mean anything from Fractals and open world events to dungeons and raids

you over think too much, when anet say something, they mean it, when they say challenging group content, it will just be open world event like Wyvern

That’s not true, they never said challenging group content are all just open world, it could be anything that involves grouping.

TheDaiBish.9735:

It’s entirely possible that every ‘major’ feature that they’ve announced is an umbrella term.

For example, ‘challenging group content’ could mean anything from Fractals and open world events to dungeons and raids, while Guild Halls could have things potentially tied to them as well (they’re instanced, so they could house instanced content for guilds as opposed to just being a place to hang out).

All in all, until they go into the specifics of each feature, we can’t really say what they’ll be comprised of.

Exactly this.

At PAX South, Colin said they are going to announce every MAJOR feature. But they could be playing around with the word " major" , could they announce something that’s completely new and huge, but they don’t consider it “major”. For example, adventure could easily been put in the list of major feature. So I think Anet might be playing with words here and surprise us with some feature that they don’t consider major but us player do.

/catch tail for Charr

Dude chill, it’s not big part of the UI anyway. just ignore it if you are not intersted, many people including me do like e-sport. just calm down, also GW2 esport is not that bad, it’s just most people don’t give it a chance, it’s really entertaining.

Plenty of us prefer to play games rather than waste time watching other people do it. For us its just cluttering up our screens with garbage we’d like to get rid of.

They can announce that stuff on the launcher like everything else, keep it of the game.

It’s just for a short period of time , does it really bothers you that much? Also just because you don’t like watching tournament s, doesn’t mean others don’t want either. Again it’s not even that big, so if you are too bothered by it just play tomorrow and it will be gone.

Keep pretending in your world that this is just a short one-off thing. What it is, in reality, is a step towards cluttering the screen with all sorts of “news feed” garbage.

Once they see they can get away with it for an event that isn’t “that big”, they’ll do it for other things.

They been doing this for a long time, they know what they are doing, it’s not like they suddenly started this today. Again, maybe of you don’t care about it, but many of us do. You can not force others adapt you.

Any class can range perfectly fine, so pick the one looks best for you.

I would love to see this emote, I often run in circles try to catch my tail, although I never catch my tail once before , but I’m sure some day I will get it. Jokes aside , this emote would be so cute, just make us Charr run in circle try to catch our tail.

Random voice is still there tho, annoys the heck out of me.

LOL remind me of WOW 6.1, best major patch ever, I mean who need real balance and content when you can take a selfie and post it on twitter.

Well, be patient . they are trying to fix them, give them more time.

Well, good idea, talk to Angry Joe when HoT comes out.

So many thread like this, please merge or delete.

ReaperStriker.1982:

Magic carpet, riding broom, and sonic tunneling tool function like “pseudo-mounts”. It can get tedious whenever you have to re-use a toy after each combat. Wouldn’t it be more enticing for players to buy your toys if it were easier for players to utilize them? The same goes for the other toys, such as the kites and balloon. I know you are always concerned with the graphical performance of the game, maybe automatically cull toy use like miniatures whenever there are too many players?

I’m thinking maybe add slots in the character page for these toys, or even next to the wardrobe slot. I believe you are geniuses that you could think of a better way to do this, and believe you are hardworking that you will consider doing this in the future(among other important things), also I believe you do play your own game (minus using dev hacks), so you know what the common players thinks and feel.

Great idea, Anet please consider this so I don’t regret purchasing magic carpet.

WhoscarE.3057:

Why a short bow?

Because short bow has range aoe, which is your only range aoe, also short bow 5 is really good for travel, it teleports you.

I think you should go on LFG section of the forum, you can find lots of guilds there, joining a good guild is important . It’s GUILD Wars after all. All I play is thief so I can give you some advice , thief in this game is not like WOW, stealth are all really short so use them carefully, thief is really glass cannon so try to avoid getting hit, remember always carry a short bow.

Well, there we go, nothing major but nice.

MegumiAzusa.2918:

I would like that, but also bring back the font, much more stylized and I liked it a lot.

Yeah, I love the font, our current font seems to be too generic.

Remember the text lore under the loading screen concept art in the old days? We all know that the concept art moved up a little after update, it remind me of these lore text, I think Anet might brining them back, id not, please consider doing it.

I like how we assume that any change we recommend is “small” or “easy” given that we haven’t a clue wtf their code looks like.

I was asked update a column data type in a table (from int to bigint) to avoid an overflow issue with the auto-id. Should have been a super easy change for a database. Drop a primary key, update the data type, reinstate said primary key, then update a few references (foreign keys, stored procs, etc). 48 hours later….yeah, not so much. I hate the systems on this project.

Just goes to show you that just because you think its easy, or that is should be easy, doesn’t mean it actually is easy. Sometimes development loves nothing more than to bite you in the kitten …

Well, how hard is to add a link to official site?

Not quite so easy when you factor in that you’re not just adding a link to an official site, you’re adding a link to an existing UI that will need to open a web browser and direct it to said URL. If they were creating the UI from scratch, it might not be particularly hard to do, but any time you’re adding a function to an existing program, particularly one as large and complex as an MMO, it’s rarely an easy thing.

Just do a /ranking in chat, that would be easy.

Not bad.
As long as it QoL type stuff so it wouldn’t be game breaking

1. Do a lot of players even care that there is a leaderboard?
2. Could be helpful

Well, if more people know there is a leader board then more people would care about it.

So i’m starting a thread that collects all the small easy updates that Anet can do to improve the game in a significant way, meant these changes takes a few hours or two days to make but has big impact.
Here is mine:
1.In game PVP rank leaderboard, or at least a link to offical website leader board, I’m sure lots of players don’t even know there is a leader board.
2. Show Stats differences , for example when I mouse over a weapon it tells me the stats differences between it and the one im currently equipped, like this:
+20Weapon damage
-10 power
+ 20 healing power
+ 10 toughness

Reply someone is hard, finding replies in countless posts are harder, we need better reply system, for example I thin Reddit’s reply system is alot better, you can clearly see who is replying who. Anet please consider.

Help us please

Healix.5819:

Right click Gw2.exe and create a shortcut. Right click the shortcut and select properties. Modify the shortcut’s target like this, using your own path:
Target: “C:\Example\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -StreamingClient

Click OK. Right click the shortcut and run it as an administrator. This should prevent getting stuck on a few files remaining.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/Game-Wont-Install-2/first#post4885287

Doesn’t work for me , we don’t even have gw2 exe, we have GW2setup exe.

Here is a screenshot , I can’t install the game cuz everytime it stop responding at here. Been trying to make it work for hours, help me please.

If you have sweet/gem fx you will stuck on initializing, so sweet/gem fx are not usable now. The game looks so washed out without them , please add sweetfx support.

plz help meeeeee

Stack on initializing , cant get in to the game.

I can’t even get into the game.

Aguri.2896:

Okay, I’m fine with no one fixing the clipping issues but the fact that asura and charr only get one new face re-textured a few times instead of three faces like the other races is just ridiculous. I was hoping the first time this happened it wouldn’t become a trend, but I see that it has. If I remember correctly, some of the NPCs from SAB release 2 had some unique faces that never got released… why not give us those? At least give us two faces…

Sorry for the rant-ish post, it’s just really disappointing to see races with such an amazing design wasted like this.

How did you get in game? Im stak on initializing screen.

I been stack there for half hour, don’t know why.

Tyreal.5230:

why is this still coming up as a topic…

This topic will continue to come up while players still don’t understand the basic mechanics of the game. Ignorance is a bad thing.

As long as players continue with their “there is only one role”, as long as they can’t distinguish between a gear type and a build (build != gear) and as long they can’t understand how Support and Control works in the game, we will get post like this one.

Are you saying that stats are not main part of the build? There are so many different stat sets , but everyone use zerker, so there s problem.

This is just my wild guess, but I do think this is really legit one and we might see something like this.
By putting points into mastery gathering ,you master the ability to gather special nodes in Maguuma Jungle.
1points: you gain the ability to gather xxx nodes.
3p: You gather one extre node during gathering.
5p: Special nodes are marked on your mini map
7p: Chance for rare material to drop while gathering
13p: Every nodes can be gathered twice.

I would love to play GW2 on Xbox, I would purchase another copy. Is this going to happen in the future?

insanemaniac.2456:

well at least nightblue isnt a kittenbag like sodapoppin…

Soda is a pretty nice guy, he swear a lot but that is just his personalty, he just did a charity stream last sunday and raised 10k for charity.

A few days ago I saw blue stream gw2, I have no idea is Blue gonna stream gw2 in the future or not. I mean if we can get blue and soda stream gw2 at same time, we can get twitch NO1 in no time. Anet really should get in contact with Blue, not to pay him or anything, just talk about pvp portion because he seems to be interested in that.

warbignime.4610:

So I was watching Towelliee(a popular WOW streamer), and he said this:
“GW2 has the best PVP and combat out of all MMOs, If GW2 had Holy Trinity, with that pvp and dungeons ,it would be the No.1 MMO in the world” this is his quote,

If he actually said that he’s full of kitten.

You cannot praise the combat and pvp and then suggest something that would so drastically and totally change the combat and pvp without sounding utterly disingenuous.
It would be an entirely different game.

WE ARE NOTNOTNOT talking about PVP

warbignime.4610:

you might be able to ru n dungeon with other build, but zerker will do it much faster and easier.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2VhmwLwvrM

this is so much harder to play than berserker right?

OFC berserker will do it faster, because you trade survivability for more damage.

warbignime.4610:

Have a healing skill=\=healer , there are no diffucalt content because this system doesn’t allow it.

and if i tell you now that you are wrong, will you accept it? no you wont.

understanding how gw2 works and whats possible to design encounter wise with the combat system is like 1+1 and getting the right result. its not harder than that. and yet so many people fail understand it… my brain is melting.

warbignime.4610:

Anet tried so hard to make difficult content happen but failed most of the time.

thats the only reason. anet failed and focused too much on ez mode open world stuff.

Anet focus a lot on hardcore content, Explore mode are meant to be hardcore, but with zerker meta it became farm fest.
