Guild Wars 2

Warrior, very closely followed by my ranger. Very close.

Leave my ranger alone; I love him so much, he doesn’t need to be nerfed; you may only buff him if you want something changed.

Go ranger; they get pets, a variety of weapons, and are overall very good for all modes.

I think you should use the search feature next time you make a post.

Tengu without a doubt are being added; Anet has a blocked off zone made especially for them. There may be nothing official, but its one of those gut feelings. Koda are a close second. They will need to add customizability to them, though.

Wow, pretty cool mate. Nice work.

I agree to this; I got dual moniters and this would be awesome

Touch my sword and I’ll put an arrow through your knee. You’ll end up walking around town complaining about it to other heroes.

Reworded way of saying “no”.

I am sorry did I prelude to you that they said yes, cause I just re-read what I posted and I am pretty sure I said they said no to the idea???? not really sure what your response is saying other than a complete and utter mis-read

Sorry! Misread “do” as “don’t”, my bad. I saw several negatives in your post and I suffered a brain fart. No hard feelings :P

Others have said it, but I lost Pumpkin Carver

Wouldn’t the sharing of dungeon tokens open up more options for gold sellers to make money off of? “$20 for 2000 dungeon tokens, real cheap!” Or something along those lines.

Precursors, like anything else, are RNG. This means chance. Because chance is not eqivilant to guaranteed, some people may never get one; thus, determination is not the sole factor in getting one over time as it may never happen.
As of right now, precursor prices are as high as ever. Yes, time would be the key to obtaining one off the tp; if they were at a set price. Let us look at it this way: Precursors were cheaper at launch. They steadily increased in price since then. People are raising money to get one… However, precursor prices are still increasing, meaning if the price goes up at a faster rate than that of the rate people can make money, the precursor is out of reach.
This in combination with the RNG factor presents an issue; determination and hardwork can still lead to nothing, even after someone has been working hard for months. This is what the root of the issue is. Those who rushed for legendaries at launch got theres the cheapest; people at this present time have to work harder than those before them. Now, is that justified? To some, it may be; but we must be realistic. The obtaining of the precursor should be adjusted; that way the opporunity does not fall short of the players who are dedicated to the cause. The Karka Event did help some people get the precursor they wanted; good for them I say. It might have helped out a guy or two who may never have gotten it without the event. But now, we must consider, a compromise from both parties. The majority apposed claim those who try to reason it to be fairer are treated woth disrespect and looked down upon. This should not be the case.
These precursors lead to the legendaries; a milestone to be achieved by the dedicated players; not an item that may be bragged or shown off with vanity. The argument stands that legendaries shouldn’t be obtainable by all; on the other hand, it can be said that it shouldn’t matter if many players have it; one who has one shouldn’t care or disapprove of the next guy in line attempting to achieve his aswell.

Guild Wars 2 has a policy of standing on the side of the casual, when it comes to its ideals and manifesto. Therefore, a compromise should be reached on the matter at hand between the Devs, and the players on either side of the argument. When a good amount of players are voicing their opinion on a feature/item/etc., it should at least be allowed to be discussed in a polite manner and productive manner instead of saying ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ followed by repetitive statements.

In conclusion, as I state once again, we should compromise on the matter, that way we achieve something for both sides, and can let this matter at hand end.

Fred Fargone.3127:

Wait wait wait… So, lets throw the entire BLTC into a garbage bin?
You can’t do anything that radical with the costliest items in the game, the economy would take a major hit. There would be players leaving the game, some might even riot at Wall St.
What is even worse: “of your choice”! C’moon, this is just asking to make the game easier for ya. It’d completely ruin the Legendary part of Legendaries.

So finding a precursor from a random mob/chest can define something as legendary, but conpketing the story and defeating an Elder Dragon isn’t? Makes perfect sense.

You’re absolutely correct in saying Anet won’t have to thank you; cause this will never happen.

If you want help so badly, contact support instead of insulting and calling them stupid.

Lysander.2840:

I think it would be awesome if we could use the dyes we unlock on our characters to dye our hair, accessories, and weapons.

Hair? Yes.
Weapons? Maybe.
Accessories? They don’t even show up on your character.

What i don’t get is that players complain regardless of whether the meta needs 4 warriors and a mesmer for speedclear or 4 warriors and a healer. If you don’t want optimal build setups and team comps in a social environment where the kaleidoscopic nature of your (human) being is shown to you in other players, maybe MMOs aren’t for you.

I for one think that the casual / console player has ruined a lot of opportunity for good design in this game. If they didn’t focus so much on appeasing everyone, especially the people that just up and leave the game,we’d maybe have more solid combat roles and depth.

I think that the players that complain about elitism just need to reassess the nature of MMO gaming. If you want everyone to be the same and equally viable, why don’t you just play a console RPG where no one cares what you do with your character or a fighter game where everything is the same except for flavor and aesthetic (what GW2 is becoming)?

The parallel in real life is the person that wants a high paying job but doesn’t want to work for the college degree required to obtain the position.

You don’t have to have a job, but if you want to function in society, you kitten well better try and conform.

Same as in MMORPGs, which are microcosms of the population’s psychology. Maybe you want the social interaction that a console game can’t provide, but you don’t want the social trappings that go along with people and the nature of our being. Seems to me that these people would be compared to the minority in society rather than the majority.

Maybe MMO gaming just isn’t for you, not that i condone hatred or gating, but if you can’t comprehend what i just said, CoD is that way ->

Heres the thing; what about those who work hard/want to work hard, but can’t be as successful? This is not real life, this is an MMO. We have the power to help those who want to do well in a video game. Why should we simply kick the nee guys down? Why should we assume that they just want the best stuff without working for it? The fact thar we have games like Gw2 where new players can join in with experts is great; the problem is when these elitists put others down because they aren’t on their level. There is nothing wrong with new/inexperienced players coming in and playing an MMO with others. They shouldn’t be stuck playing SP games. Here everyone can be equal, and we should strive to help others achieve that.

I’ve been apart of this guild for some time, and we really have fun. Couldn’t have asked for a more friendly guild. If you like anime, and feel like you’re that Otaku type, feel free to join us! Wow, I sound like a cheap advertiser… ( T_T)?(^-^ )

Elitism irritates me, for just this reason; heaven forbid someone can actually sit down and play a game with others without being criticized. Just the other day, I met a brand new player (who I almost missed because a I was looking at my guild chat and not my say). She started asking me a whole bunch of questions; what armor is that and how did you get it, how do I get weapons, whats the best way to level up, etc, etc. I tried to explain a few things like the tp and skills, and I was met with the absolute worst case of confusion from this person. I had been planning to log off, but I ended up staying on for an extra hour to explain aspects of the game. I eventually gave her 10s, some bags, armor and afterwords invited her to my guild, where me and my buddies are helping her learn the game. It made my day knowing I’m helping out a new player. Any elitists who exclude anyone like that player in that thread should be perma banned for corrupting our community. Spread the love, not the hate.

Dyes
Legendary Weapons
All Holiday Items From Now On

I’m confused; How does doing that adding resistances in armor add replayability? Thats just adding more stats for a dungeon or such you play once, and then everytime after it is a repeat. That doesn’t fix replayability, thats just another condition to deal with in dungeons; adding more content and delaying completing the end game goals, is it not?

I think Jormag’s Breath is fine. If anything, the Fiery Dragon sword needs to be adjusted (toned down). Despite having access to that skin for the entire game I have never wanted to use it because it’s just too big. When sheathed at the hip the fiery effect clips horribly with the ground – it just extends out too far past the physical blade.

This.

Agreed, jormag’s breathe looks great the way it is, the fiery sword on the other hand is like a few ticks from a forest fire.

Agreed. I LOVE my Jormag’s Breath. I also move how bright it is, lighting up a dark room in blue rather than the dull red.

Does it also have enemies burst into flame like FDS? I was thinking about going bavk to Gw1 to get the FDS so I could get both

Dante.1508:

With the amount of hassle and issues Legendary weapons have caused this game, i’d never add Armor…the game wouldn’t handle it.

Look at how Ascended was handled and received..

Well, thats because it was a new tier added. Legendary tier already exists; just in weapons.

Katreyn.4218:

It’s sad that we can’t trust other players to tell the truth about their gear and stats and experience and have to resort to such methods instead.

I’m kind of middle of the road for the whole thing. I have never experienced a bad group because I genuinely felt that the person that was always getting downed had kitten gear/build. I think people should be allowed to play the way they want, and with that they should learn by that experience if their build/gear is not up to par with the way they play or the dungeon or whatever. Different gear/setup works with different playstyles. You don’t have to be BiS or cookie cutter to be good at the game.

Being able to see achievements might be ok. Of course this doesn’t mean they are ‘good’ in order to get the achievements, but it might be a less invasion way to judge peoples ability.

I understand wanting to maybe see someones AR for fractals. But even so, if thats the only dungeon we will ever need the dumb resistance stat in then it doesn’t merit for inspection ability imo.

Whats sad is the elitist attitude that no one should ever be wearing gear that they see as unfit. They want to force others to play their way or they get kicked and excluded. They have this idea in their heads that if their missing 2 points into power, or precision, or some other stat, they’re a noob, play bad, and will have to be carried. No. This is a skill based game; anyone with rare armor on could mop the floor with another with exotic gear, or could use teamwork and outmatch a person with the best gears effectiveness if they know how to play. Look at the player, not the gear.

Yes.

If PvErs have to go through WvWvW, than vice versa must also be in place.

ColinJohanson.2394:

Technically the tinfoil hat would view your character as a mount, so it’d be an easy way for us to get mounts in game.

We might even have concept art for it….

<-Troll.

Hahaha, best post of this thread so far

Use on the Ranger; shortbows are much more effective on a ranger than a thief imo.

There will be no race change; Anet has saud this, bottom line.

They already stated race change will not be implemented.

Search feature next time.

You’d sure as hell be seeing a lot of red posts then…

tattoohead.3217:

I’m sorry if this has already been posted but TBH sense the post is 9 pages (good job guys btw) i skimmed it fairly fast. I have been looking for this staff for a while now and based on the devs comments i have a theory. The first dev said it was not crafted but came from a “LARGE chest” in caps like that, the second dev said it will drop from a rare boss leaving use to go “WITCH IS IT?!?!?.” I think its both in GW1 there was a rare monster called a mimic (i think that was the name, could be wrong) but just like the final fantasy series its a monster shaped like a chest.

They only appeared rarely in missions and dropped random rare weapons. I think we are looking for a random un-found event in a dungeon (probably story mode Arah or fractals)

My point here i guess is that i doubt its an event chain and i bet its a boss type we have not yet seen. Also likely that sense its an exotic lvl 80 staff it would be in a lvl 80 zone.

Just a hunch but what elce do we have. BTW if you found this would you sell it or keep it?

There was another dev that when they were asked about that “controversy”, they said that they honestly didn’t see the differenciation; meaning you kill a rare boss and open their chest.

Steven.9803:

Also dont you guys think its silly that there not even staying faithful to the art since launch? I mean come on, at this point they might as well rip off images from google earth , cause if they only care “that is looks cool” then why should we care that its there in the first place?

Btw: The purpose of a concept art is, by definition, a concept of a thing(or in our case game) illustrated in a picture or object.

Yes it presents an idea; nowhere does it say that concept art is always implemented into it. It’s an idea, not a feature.

So by your logic, because the Star Wars games suck, we should add stuff from Star Wars into Guild Wars 2? Sorry, but no. Guild Wars 2 is in an entirely different setting, in no way would they work. My suggestion is just use asuran weapons, they are the closest you will ever get.

Kracin.6078:

in most cases, people prefer 2h weapons for most content as they provide better dps, better support, etc. and 2h weapons tend to be all of the aoe weapons as well.. and lets face it, this is a game where AOE matters. and unfortunately when you want to dps which is most of the time as long as you are good at dodge rolling. then you are forced to run a high damage dps weapon that happens to have a lot of utility on the abilities as well.

the 1h weapon damage need to be upped, or the attacks made quicker to compensate. i rarely see a variety of weapons when running with pugs, its mostly always the same weapon sets, this is supposed to be a game about variety and choice. but there isn’t much as it stands that i can tell.

Ele Scepter/Dagger with offhand dagger provides more dps than staff
Engineer Duel Pistols and conditions exceed rifle’s effectiveness
Thief’s weapon are all one-handed, deals a lot of damage
Necromancer Axe/Dagger with offhand dagger beats Staff

(All assuming for the purpose of dps)

Just some examples; 2h does not always equal better

Rezzet.3614:

Can you please increase their condition duration? They are meant to be used focused on condition damage but it is useless when it bleeds; it lasts 2 seconds and poison 3-5 seconds IF you don’t miss a single shot, which is rarely happens. The blowtorch skill’s burn lasts 1-2 seconds unless used at Melee range .

I think that should make it easier to read. Anyway, Engineer’s pistol skills seem to be okay; I have one, and I seem to do just fine.

Hey Guys, I was going through my personal story, when all of a sudden I got to wield Caladbolg; the weapon made by the Pale Tree. This weapon is so beautiful looking, and the effect on it is fantastic. There are story mode weapons, like that of Occam’s hammer, that are available skins outside of PvE; I would like Caladbolg’s skin, named as another weapon, to be made available to achieve; perhaps through a set recipe in the mystic forge. I’m not asking for the weapon’s skills to be added as well; just the skin and effect. I just think its a waste of art for a weapon as beautiful as that to be available for only 2 missions in the sylvari storyline, and having to watch Traehearne use it for the rest of the game.

I do see some opposing arguments; Commonly other things need to be worked on, this shouldn’t be Anet’s concern, let Caladbolg stay unique and whatnot; perfect logical statements for rebuttle. I would just to be able to use it elsewhere is all.

This needs to be changed to Wants, not needs.

1. Dueling, yes, at some point
2. You can view armors before purchasing at vendors lol. Perhaps you mean Trading Post?
3. The Master Craftsmen NPCs are right next to the crafting stations
4. Meh, not really. You’re not supposed to farm laurels for all the gear/vanity items in a few days. Feels nice this way, to have to earn something through dedication.
5. Eventually, not now
6. MF increases the chance of getting better quality loot; it does not affect drop rates at all. The accursed DR is to blame for bad drop rates.

Rally hasn’t gone anywhere, what is the issue?

I think I could agree with gs on an ele, except for our elite skill; pretty much stole any chance of that happening.

Salvaging karma pieces would mean you wouldn’t have to pay for mats in money; people would never buy mats off the tp and just salvage from karma pieces, which would be far cheaper than they are now.

It doesn’t make sense; feature-wise maybe, but think about it this way: The armor is supposed to represent that culture’s style, traditions, etc; its not just stats/looks. Imagine Germans wearing kimonos because they look good; it just doesn’t fit their culture/image. I think they should remain unique; it gives you some incentive to pick a race, and gives others the chance to appreciate their race.

Towndrunk.9562:

I would love to have a quaggan mount!

I would ride that quaggan all over the land. I would ride over hills and down into valleys. Even under a dragon just because I can.

Quaggans are about as big as asura…

Anyway, I’m no for mounts. The game has waypoints, use them or enjoy the scenery by walking.

One switch per account would be reasonable; not once a month.

Use the tokens to buy rare armor and salvage them.

No. Use the search feature next time; this topic has been created too many times, and will get locked up quickly.

Kaesix.7950:

I’m a Nord with a barbaric slant, so I was thinking I huge rough-cut greatsword (like the Shaman’s Zweihander I currently use, only more beefy) or a hammer that’s literally a giant tree trunk would be awesome.

Didn’t realize I was playing Skyrim with dem Nords. Welcome to Tyria.

Greyalis.2309:

This idea is awesome and should be implemented. All the naysayers are just followers and idiots—don’t listen to them.

Wow. Just wow. Insulting and then saying our opinion doesn’t matter? Try adding some meaningful discussion instead of being rude.
