Guild Wars 2

It’s easy, because farming isn’t mandatory.

You don’t need to farm for lvl’ing, for donig your PS, to do PvP/WvW/dungeons.

You only need to farm to get legendaries or to get in higher lvl fractals.

I think all people who think LEgendaries should have a stat increase, or just be the best possible weapon, watch this vid, it really sums up all things and gives a clear answer about this subject:

Simple answer and I know I am going to get alot of hate from this:

L2P

Agree aswell, keep the Gift of Battle, tho and just lessen the amount of Badges you get from JP’s

Tosha Daydreamer.9251:

They did it to prevent WvW player from abusing the system to spy on other servers. As a PvE player, it’s only annoying

Not really a PvE player can just Guest

Dunno we know there is a jungle dragon, the seeds come from the maguuma jungle, it’s possible they have something to do with a ED, but we don’t really know for sure.

got it, missed the one with the lever

TripCharge.5134:

Well, got all the chests on easy mode…

…time for rytlock mode (-_-’)

I just got 6, where did you find them all?

There are secrets within secrets… good thing I play a lot of retro style flash games

yeah I know, but are there any other ways of finding hidden areas without kicking/jumping?

TripCharge.5134:

Well, got all the chests on easy mode…

…time for rytlock mode (-_-’)

I just got 6, where did you find them all?

Ok, on my first run through I had 1 secret. Now I have 6 secrets(excluding the big rabbit secret)

To kill the rabbit you kick the bunnies as fast as you can, than jump kick the bunny in the face, he should be down to 1 heart, run back and try to dodge those green things(I always fail there) Than go as far left as possible and jump right over the carrots, let him jump over you, repeat process 1 and he should be down

so the frogs insta-hit you when you jump, just run towards them and hit them.
you can smash walls by kicking or falling into them, jumping against the ceiling can brake walls aswell to uncover hiden areas, haven’t found all of them yet, tho

SAving at the quagguns will kep track of your found treasures, potions cost 10 baubles and are used if you lose all your hearts, I think they add 3 hearts

monkeys have leet wallhax and can hit you trough walls!

treasures give all your hearts back!

Wow, took out the big rabit, now to find out how to kill the frogs

Just add a option to toggle: See Titles/remove titles.

Because there are more people enjoying the titles than people haiting on them.

Well the story is all you can really do if you weren’t following it since january, as it slowely progressed, but you can also do the lost and found objecst+ the hidden messages

I think you can redo them for karma, don’t know for sure

Yes deleting your char will make you travel for free, you could also use coin to exchange to gems for cheaper/free transfer. Everything stored in your bank will stay on your account, but items stored in a guild bank will stay in that server!

Prozac Master.1825:

No, I don’t really care if you play a thief, i mean, we can all play a thief, I currently have an Engineer (80), Elementalist (80), and am working on… wait for it…. Thief (11). Even at level 11 I can play my thief in PvE with very little threat of dying, i just disappear and heal up, then go at it again. I’m just thinking it’s not really balanced.

General PvE, especialy while lvl’ing, yup thief(especialy compared to Ele/Engi) is alot easier.

Go do dungeons, A war can do alot more dmg and wistand alot more. Thiefs are getting one of the weakest classes in the game, they are annoying in wvw, idd, but not op.

I suggest all Mesmers shouldn’t be able to use clones, rly annoying, eles shouldn’t be able to be a Cannon(they aren’t glass at all), necros shouldn’t have marks/wells or pets, those are really annoying, the same with the ranger pet and it’s aoe’s. Guardians shouldn’t take a hour to kill, wariors should do less dmg in general PvE, engis turrets are really annoying aswell, so are his mines and most of it’s kits, remove them.

but still always the thief, People don’t have a problem with Spies in Tf2, they have alot more stealth, transform into allies and 1-shot people, The GW2 thief has very limited stealth, can’t turn into allies and don’t 1-shot most people(if you are glass cannon in WvW, well yeah)

I’dd say the problem lies with: the people who don’t play thiefs and A-net for giving into these people.

yes, it’s fun, played since BWE1, Still playing daily.

Is there Grind in GW2, yes, they always said there would be a grind in GW2, just like GW.

You can get lvl80 and craft/buy/dungeon run your gear set in a week, when prices were lower, you could get it in a day. That’s not grinding, ascended gear? I say Ascended gear is weaker than Exotic, no runes/sigils, that messes up alot of builds + it’s only needed in fractals.

But wouw, what about legendaries, that grind is to big, with those BS Precursors etc.
Uh yeah, that was the point of Legendaries, it was a big grind and would take some time. If your only goal is legendaries, yeah that is boring, but this game has alot of things to do at lvl 80, do JP/explorer(the mini-dungeons are cooler than the normal ones) Help guildies, have some fun with guildies/randoms, lvl alts, say what you want about DE’s, I lvl’ed 3 characters and on my third char I still found new DE in the zone.
Farm Orr(dunno, I like farming Orr), Do your dailies/get achievements. Do guild missions,etc

!Remember this game is only fun if you play with friends!

Me.

the debuff you propose only hurts smaller groups, as the common zerg just flips it for supply/dolyaks. Smaller groups often do it for the DE reward.

while the buff is annoying, it’s also necesary

Yeah ship battles could be a nice mini-game, you could earn some currency and upgrade your ship, friends can help you control your ship/ board enemy ships. shouldn’t be PvP tho, or as mentioned above, make it a sPvP map.

This might even be a game mechanic for the Bubbles X-pack.

You defend because it’s stratigicely usefull/fun + you get loads of WXP from killing the attackers, as you have the upperhand (safe behind walls/ safe siege ). Me personally go defend if the commander asks me to, WvW is about Fun/strategic combat(which is fun) not about WXP

Agree something like AB or GvG should be introduced in GW2,

and no, the name ‘Guild Wars’ Doesn’t come from the Guild wars, but it comes from the PvP, when GW used to be a PvP only game, it was called Guild Wars, when they decided to add PvE they just kept the name and wrote the story about the Guildwars in, wich doesn’t really contribute alot to the story(only Adelberns hatred for Krytans, but even that could be written differently, it’s not like the game is called: Mursaat Wars, which would have alot of Lore tied into it)

Doomdesire.9365:

The closed gate in Crystal Desert is probably not going to be openable until an expansion is released to kill that crystal dragon(No clue how to spell his name)

They moved thanks to a Tsunami and currently live in Dominion of Winds & Maguuma Jungle!

oh and next dragon, 99% sure, it will be Primordus. Also we should see lots of rock rock dwarf coming from withing earth coming to fight the dragon!

They fled from Cantha because the emperor wiped out all non-humans.

We don’t know if there are Tengu living in the Maguuma jungle, as far as I know they all live in the DoW (except the traders, who live close to the wall)

Next dragon will probaply be Jormag, the Pact already has troops pushing north + he is the most mentioned Dragon next to Zaithen, Primordus, while we saw him in GW:EotN, he isn’t treathening Tyria so badly as Jormag/Kralkie/Zaithan(RIP)

+ The dwarfs are won’t come up again, they might be allies in the Depths of Tyria, but they’ll just kill destroyers, as they don’t really think, they just fight destroyers
(except Ogden)

-wouw

+Tengu will most likely become playable, they were even planned to be a playable race, but scraped!

The 25th of august I got 2 keys dropped, somewhat later that week another one, haven’t seen a other one(as drop)

But you can always Do the BL-key farm

it tastes omnomnomnom

hmm I got to check that out

Sorry for the late response, but A artist said Cantha will never release, still looking were I heard it, tho

EDIT: giving up on looking for it, @ Konig, idd It is weird, but if the boss says no you can’t do it, than they have to listen.

Don’t forget the Panda! it was planned to realease with Factions as a pet, but the Chinese were against it. The pet was only released in 2012, 6 years later!

It’s simple, undo the recent thief nerfs

The ‘revealed condition’ is annoyingly long and why nerf caltrops?
I can see why in WvW thiefs are annoying for solo players (because that’s the point of WvW) But in sPvP, Really?

In PvE we always were one of the weakest professions (A thief in a dungeon needs to evade alot, a war can just 100-blades most dungeons, do alot more dmg(if traited right) without alot of effort(yes, I have a war)

Can you plz do the GW way of balancing, keep PvP, PvE,WvW seperate?

‘the Thief is a annoying profession, Elementalists are alot more OP, but less annoying, so People complain less about them.’ -Winston Churchill

-wouw

I think it is because you didn’t do it from the start.

I am a gamer who really get’s into the world, and this game is great for that, you can explore ,follow NPC’s around and what they alll do(after a event the NPC doesn’t just dissapear, if you follow him/her/it, He / She / it has alot of extra dialogue/items) I also like the Lore and search areas about it and talk to every NPC.

Flame and Frost, was lack luster, yes, but I like this way of adding new content is really cool, you can see the world changing and you could even investigate who was after these attacks! now A-net tested this method, I hope they can do more and better content(I heard they Were aiming for a weekly story update)

The personal story instances for March were fun to do but just not enough! Who was that creepy cat lady again? Braham, ok that dudes’ backstory was cool. I hope they use these characters for more Living story acts, so we can actually band with them. I can see Braham story branch out, he is a Norn, so he can have alot of epic aventures! and the story with Eir could work out nicely aswell.

dunno don’t like Rox.

-wouw

The medium commando gear is CM, i think

but I agree

Wait, if You pvp’ed, did you actually enter a game? or did you just run around in the Heart Of The Mists?

because the only NPCs are: Guild Lord/ Svanir and the other dude
And just join a game with players in, it’s cross server and there are always active games,

for the Best PvP action, you have to do Tournies tho

For Gold, when I just started this game, I had trouble with gold, but Citadel of Flame Explorable Path 1 takes about 10 minutes to complete and gives 1-2g without drops, The tokens you get from the dungeon can be used to buy rare gear from the vendor in LA, you can salvage those for ectos

On Armor variety, yeah not really alot, but I found you jsut had to look for it, at heart merchants, etc.

If you do your dailies you have a chance of getting Black Lion Store items as a bonus, I have gotten (superior)T-stones from it, even some BLsalvage kits, etc

THe cultural armor is really Dem L33t Armorz in this game and, while really pricey, it’s a armor to show your epicness

A dev did tell that How many of them wanted to recreate Cantha, they just weren’t allowed to make it by NCSoft West

I remember the price for ectos dropping to like 6-8s, then they banned all the bots and the prices skyrocketted

I think the price lowering for ectos is good for the common man,
I geuss you are a Big trader?

The bone palace is very close to the ruins of Morah, a Place with alot of magic for Kralkie to eat, He flies there right next to Palawas palace, Maybe even branding everything in it’s way, Palawa, knows about The brand(somehow) and he knows how dangerous he is, even without a big army and Palawa fought Branded already, his troops could be corrupted aswell.

How would you be if Something, being able to Transform all of your army into enemies in 15 minutes, would live 10 minutes away from you?

You should get more WXP from killing a commander+ a title track: Commander Slayer

Go in a T1/T2 server, Get on their voice-chat, or do what mentioned above

Let’s say Country A and Country B Fight eachother, but than treath X comes along, if not destroyed it will destroy both Country A, B and the neutral C.

We have seen this happen before: the Truce between Humans and Charr, Between Luxons and Kurzicks

As said before, Palawa knows when he is to weak to win a fight alone.
(and he is as happy to break those truces.)

The rebels only have a temporary truces with Palawa, so they can defeat Kralkie, because otherwise they would both be destroyed, the Pact is there to make the truce and keep it safe.

If the in commun treath is destroyed, the fighting restarts. This happens alot actually, even in WvW

Could open up aswell, what happens if all the ED’s get destroyed and The pact get’s disbanded and all races (except Norn) are Highly War-foccused evolved?

EDIT: Removed the slightly Racist comment

“Champion of the Mushroom Kingdom”

and if they release new JP’s the title should be unable to weir until completion of the new JP’s, event ones not incl

I geuus you never played GuildWars: Factions, as I said before NO open-world PvP, you earn faction by completing events/the INSTANCED PvP Batlles, Dungeons

And you have lore incentives to join Joko’s army, You have to fight Kralketorriut youneed support from the locals, the story devides in to two main story arches(something A-net wants to do and did alot(but with less impact)in GW2) eventually both factions help you fight the Dragon, but no peace between the factions,tho. when the Dragon is gone, the fight starts again(lore-wise, ofc, the fight keeps happening)

You can say Desolation: Palawa, Vabi/kourna middle ground, Istan Rebels/Sunspears.
Crystal Desert: Pact, or neutral grounds.

entire Elona is a lvl 80 zone

and Palawa isn’t just a mindless being as a ElderDragon, He knows Kralkie gains more control over His lands and to destroy him He HAS to work together with the rebels and the pact.

on: all the sunspears are gone. The movement of the world told us that just a few sunspear remain, Those few sunspear are the leaders of a bigger group of rebels, as we know, every (Hated) Dictator get’s Rebels.

Catisa.6507:

Cantha will not happen for gw2.

:’(

The funny things is the devs want to do it, but they can’t from NCSoft West

the problem lies with the stalkerish people not with the friends list.

I like that the friendslist is account wide and the features of following are usefull.

5.dissagree, I think those LA ones are just for show and golems won’t fit in the LA theme
4. if you say ‘rare’ it shows only major sigils, but I get what you mean
2. no, plz no! they already made it hard to farm this won’t stop bots, it will only annoy players who farm. Botters have enough accounts to stop this and even 250 porous bones gives them 45s still

I agree with the rest for the most part

EDIT: I think Fractals already gives you better rewards the higher you get in, alot of guildies get exotics and alot of rares on higher lvl, while others only get blues and greens on lvl 7

no you can actually freely move over the border, but to ear faction you have to do things in the zone of that faction

and there were some sunspears left who were hunted down by palawa, but this information has been old, as it’s been a long time since refugees made it to Tyria

The lands of Elona, ruled by the undead Lich Palawa Joko, who is also fighting Kralketorrik.

Lore behind gonig to Elona:

Kralketorik went down to the south becausenot only his champion Glaunt was stationed there, but also because he was close to some area with alot of magic: The desolation. When the 5 Gods smited Abaddon and trew him in the Realm of Torment alot of magic came free, Magic which Kralkie would love to eat! not only that but the mists are really close there after Nightfall has happend. more magic oozing out of the mists for kralkie! jummy!

the lands of elona are strange lands to our heroes, they will need support by locals!

But who? The rebellious Sun Spears, or the cruel undead dictator Palawa Joko?

About the personal story itself? not alot of ideas, but I do have some nice ideas about the mechanics in Elona

You Have elona and a moving border(like Kurzick/luxon Border in GW) you choose wich side to fight for:Palawa/sunspear. while doing events in your faction controlled lands you gain Faction, the higher faction you have the more titles unlock, new weapon/armor skins unlock. you can ofc lvl both factions, by just passing the border. your faction also can get passife buffs, but these only count for the faction where you have the most faction of, these buffs could be: reduced WP/armor repair costs in your faction control lands (the buffs activate at a higher rank, like rank 7 reduced armor repairs, Rank 10 reduced wp travel,…)

New pvp battles:
You can also gain faction in PvP fights, not just control points, but matches with special mechanics(think of Jade Quarry/Fort Aspenwood, or even Alliance Battles!)

Guilds (or finnaly release alliances!) can take control over small cities outpost(think butcherblock, ascalonian settlement)by having alot of factions, wich can be destroyed/taken over by oposing factions with DE.

if one faction pushes the other to it’s main capitol a elite Area(think UW,FoW,Urgoz,Deep,Doa) unlocks, for people unfamaliar with Elite Areas, think of a super hard Dungeon, you can’t pug, you need a organized guild, you get awesome drops/gear).If the SS win you have to fight Palawa (who gets imprisoned at the end of the dungeon), The Spear MArshal get’s killed if the undead win, after a while the dungeon closes and the border resets

Endless PvE fun!

-wouw

Well it could, one side of the border gives you support palawa events the other side gives you support sunspear events, completing such a event gives you faction. the side who gets the most faction in like say a week gets more ground. add the JQ FA style pvp for some player vs player action and it could work well: escort SS/undead, collect siege/food/undead, take over towns, destroy caravans, etc

alot of things possible

the elite area would be assault palawa/asault the SS spearmarshal. Palawa can’t die ofc and just get’s imprisoned. and it’s a super hard dungeon(like UW,Urgoz,Deep,DoA,FoW),has alot of rare drops, gives faction,…
and is avaible for a short amount of time before the border get’s reset.

maybe a oppertunity to rerelease Alliance Battles.

not really open world pvp. let’s say We go to the town at the border of Elona there you can choose help the sunspears, help Palawa. you get send to a side of the border(which changes depending on how many points are scored by wich side (like Kurzick/Luxon) points can be gathered by completing events( or even win pvp matches with special mechanics, think JQ/FA)

if the border gets shoved to one main base(Palawa / sunspears)

a final dungeon unlocks or one big event, (but that could be a new ancient karka fight).
after that Elona is under control of the winning faction,

the dungeon could be something like the elite missions in GW, uberhard content, something to really fight for!

like in GW you can add sunspear/undead title track with extra armor/Weapon sets, reduced wp cost/armor repair if in a your faction controlled zone…

my first idea was to make this 1 time, but thinking about it it would be better if it resets after a while, with the title progression

how will it reset? timer? player input somehow?

player imput would be nicest ofc, the losing faction can do infiltration/sabotage missions ( dungeons) or the pvp as mentioned above to gather points.

players should Always be able to switch factions, but the faction were they have the most faction gathered should be considerd for the buffs

just some thoughts, as WvW is one way of endless pvx fun, sPvP is endless PvP fun, this could be endless pve fun

synch.2980:

I don’t know that I would personally use arenas, or watch the fights, but the Guild Wars 2 novels have arena-style matchups happening in Lion’s Arch – it’s where the Edge of Destiny guild came to be…

So since it exists in the game lore, it seems like something that ought to exist in the game itself…

it actually exists in game!

the area with all the WvW portals used to be the arena, but they changed it a few years before GW2

No, I mean players can decide: Do I help Palawa or do I stop him. in the coming months both groups do things to support there side, the winning side decides how elona turns out: a freed Elona or one dictated by Palawa.
