Guild Wars 2

I’d like to see it back simply because i was never able to be a part of a successful attempt! lmao I’d like to be able to beat the darn thing!

They did the same for me when i accidentally deleted me Dragons Ball Axe skin. got a ticket while the event was going on grabbed the axe skin, couple days later trashed it. a day later, had it replaced.

I’ve done world completion on 11 chars. it was actually kinda fun. But.. I only did 3 WC’s by myself. My previous guild ran Map Completion zergs twice a week. getting all Wp’s, POI’s, Vistas and Hero Challenges.
We ran close enough to open each heart, and the only work put into each heart was any events that would contribute to it, and only if it scaled and was quik enough.
we usually had 15ish guildies and would announce in map chat that anyone was welcome to tag along, creating a zerg of about 25-30. you can rip out a map like that in 30-45 min, a tad longer for those big maps (lornar’s pass comes to mind :/ )
then, at your leisure, go back and finish the hearts.
Throw in a Trivia Game while running around mappin, winner getting some Gold, and you gots yerself a good time.
THATS how you map
i kinda miss that now i created a few of my chars just to have something to map!

I didn’t pre-order, and glad I didn’t. I’ll wait to see if ID’ing drops stays, and masterys locked behind timed mini games stays. if they do, not gonna get the Xpak.
Loved the mounts, loved the map, loved that the mobs werent like HoT.

even worse is when it ‘sorta’ works and consumes your initiative but doesnt move you >.> would be great if they FINALLY fixed it, it’s been like this for years now ._.

this right here has always been the case. this will happen when your target area is lower than any spot between you and target area. you will only shadow step to the highest point.

nah, ive been experiencing this ever since they changed Infiltrators Arrow. right off the get-go its been doing this. im just now getting “completely” fed up with it so I thought I’d post it.
Thing is, it’s not just here and there, it happens all over the place.

Ever since this got “fixed”, which btw, was never really “broken”, its been a nightmare to use this skill.
I have found SO many areas where you could still shadow step from platform to platform, SkyHammer being a good example. but yet places where theres hardly any terrain variance and unable to use the skill, being told “invalid path”
here are two examples. the first being in the “Salma District” which you can shadow step , even though there’s a WALL there as tall as a human!
The second is at Southsun Cove, down by Seashell Hills. wheres there’s nothing more than a little hill. so a slight incline/decline cant be shadow stepped. Noone sees a problem with this? it is utterly driving me insane, never knowing where this skill is going to work, and where it isn’t. time to fix i think….

i never really watch ME, i watch ahead. and while doing so on my mount, i dont even SEE the movements its making.

You don’t really get the problem, do you? It has nothing to do with mount’s running animations hun.

well, from what ive read some of it does stem from this.and im not talking just running movements, but all it’s movements. dont watch the mount, watch the world around you

are those getting MS watching their mount/char while moving? or watching ahead. if watching ahead, you dont even see the movements. watch your mount/char, it looks kinda goofy. i never really watch ME, i watch ahead. and while doing so on my mount, i dont even SEE the movements its making.

xikira.3264:

People are upset because anet sold out and became a cookie cutter mmo. They are also not lore friendly and help ruin the immersion. What makes it worse is we don’t have the option of if we don’t like them don’t use them. They are not cosmetic they are part of the mechanics in the new area. We are forced to use them to progress in the story and we are forced to use them to get to certain areas in the map. It is upsetting that anet is forcing people to use them. They should of made the mounts cosmetic or at least give us the option of taking a harder path to get to certain areas. Or let us choose a different way to progress in the story. If we want to experience the next part of the story we have to use something that a lot of people don’t want to use. This is why so many people are upset over the mounts. They are not a choice or option.

And this is why i wont be getting the Xpack. I was gettin kinda excited about it, but now i know its time to move on…..

Blaeys.3102:

According to this article, they spent “hundreds of hours” to solve the clipping issue on an armor set designed specifically for a small percentage of the playerbase. They redesigned the core engine behind the game for runes for an armor set designed specifically for that same small percentage (which obviously took a really long time as well). Then there was the aesthetic design, armor animations and collection chains associated with it.

This was no small project (at least 2 years of development by most accounts) – all to develop armor sets for a small subset of the GW2 population that likely cares less about the look of armors than any other – and develop features that (specifically addressing clipping) that others in the game have been BEGGING for.

And, to add insult to injury, they have the gall to say that raids do not take resources from other parts of the game.

This was a colossal waste of time and a very clear indicator that Anet has lost any concept of who their players and long term supporters really are.

THIS! right here!

Sold my ‘70 Cuda back in ’81. hey, you didn’t say “in GW2” lol

I have both. and can actually say, ive never had anyone say anything that made me want to put my weapon away. ok, maybe a couple times about Dreamer, but it wasnt nasty. now, quip? ive had more ppl say they thought it sounded cool than complain about it.
in short, dont mess with my quip!!!! ppl like it!!!

Hevoskuuri.3891:

We already have the extreme mode, other challenging content, even the HoT maps are challenging on their own. The story part, even the last fight, doesn’t really have to be this difficult.

Just my two cents.

this!!!!
I have only tried it 2 times. wont go back. i shouldn’t have to do the WHOLE thing over every time i die. I wont. Im a casual, i just want to get the darn story done.

thats why after Bloodstone and ember bay, i wont even bother with bitterfrost. waste of time. havent been there and aint going to go there.

dont count on it. the bugs just keep stacking up.

I have come to the (sad) conclusion that Hot and new story is not aimed at the casual player. I started playing about a yr after release, and absolutely loved the game! Got hoT and didnt care for it at first, but played thru and learned to like it somewhat. enough at least to make Chuka and Champawat. but with the new story releases play less and less. went to the new maps a couple times, have not and will not go to Bitterfrost. it is not intended for the casual player. I work 10hr days, last thing i want to do is log in and get stressed out. I realize its supposed to be “end game” material, but it’s leaving the casual player in the dust. and the way they are designed, as each new map/story comes out, the older maps are seriously less populated. do they realize that as time goes by, new players to the game wont have much chance of getting the cheevs on these maps because noone will be there doing the content?

tirenareikasu.8915:

It seems to be a trend with most of the HoT legendaries, I have the same issue with Chuka and Champawat. The claws are less and disappear after maybe two to three seconds. When compared to its Dreamer counterpart its… slightly upsetting. I’d love to stand on equal ground with my equine cousin.. instead of being the more subtle of the two.. I mean shouldn’t the tiger be loud and fierce over a horse?

THIS!!!

I know, “why are you using superior sigil of bloodlust anymore?” well, the way i play, i like it. i dont know why, i just do.
But to the point. does bloodlust not work on a mesmer? I have one on my GS, on my Sword and my trident. and have yet to even begin a stack, what gives?

ProtoGunner.4953:

There were a lot of complaints about too flashy footfalls and effects years ago so they tuned it down a bit. I think it’s rather good. I have 7 legendaries and Astralaria and Nevermore are among the ones I love the most.

I guess it’s one of those “cant please everyone all the time” things. what i love most about my Kudzu? the LONG trail of footfalls!! lol what i dislike most about Chuka Champawat? The utter measly and short (3 footsteps, fading starting almost immediately) footfalls.
Oh well, gonna have to live with it i guess

Batelle.1680:

Since the effects of each legendary are documented in wikis and youtube videos, never mind the fact of them existing in the game on other players, there’s really no reason for a player to not know exactly what they’re getting.

I was aware of the effect shortcomings before i started. i saw the videos. It is a Bow i wanted, so i crafted it. I knew going into making The Dreamer that it was a noisy sum-kitten, but i still made it. I just wanted to point out what i thought of the shortcomings hoping Anet would see it and count it with the others that have voiced their opinions. And hopefully do something about it

I tried the search, got nothing, so started my own thread.
I just have a couple small complaints. I Love the Bow, but feel it falls very short in the footfalls department. So many other legendary weapons have pretty long lasting footfalls. Kudzu, Spark, Twilight to name a few. but Chuka and Champawat fades away after what seems like maybe 3 or 4 steps. pretty lame IMO, especially considering the footfalls aren’t that noticeable.
And the projectile isn’t really very easy to see. was it the complaints about Dreamers Unicorns that made you decide to make the tigers less than half as noticeable?
Just hoping that Chuka and Champawat gets a rework soon.

was dropping from a ley line and landed on…. something!! lol

OriOri.8724:

Its not that bad don’t give up man. Just stick with it. What class do you play?

My ranger is the only char i have that far in story.

I really appreciate all the offers of help, but i seriously dont think i can enter that instance again for at least a month lol

Just tried another dozen and a half times, to no avail. at this point im giving up. the darn thing takes so long that i get tired of trying to kill and stay alive at the same time, get frustrated, die, start over again, with frustration alrdy in place. doesnt pay to try anymore. does story really need to be like this? lol

yeah, it must hate me too. i can get as far as the updrafts part then everything goes to hell. i think its partly because by that point ive been fighting so long that im at burnout phase. tired of it alrdy. the whole thing kinda takes to long, especially after you do several attempts. it starts gettin old. Im sure someones gonna come along and say we just suck lol all i want is the mastery point for completing story, but Nooooooo.

cptaylor.2670:

So I hate to be “that guy” but am I the only one wondering why op had so many Rangers?…

I know a guy that has at least 6 or 7 rangers. :/

“The Juvenile Electric Wyvern can be found here once the Pact establish control of the Central Advance Camp.”
you need to be there when the meta is being done. once this camp is controlled, then the Wyvern will spawn.

You only need 5 masteries points from adventures .

This is assuming you get ALL mastery points from story.

Well yes. That’s what I meant when I said “from all other sources”.

well, duh! my point was that not everyone will obtain ALL mastery points from story.
I know, some ppl will say “its easy to get all mastery points from story” , those are the same ppl that say “its easy to get silver or gold in all the adventures” well, you know what, it really isnt that easy, for everyone. and to say that those that cant dont deserve some of the things that come from maxing masterys, well, ….. you know what, im at a loss for words.

Well if they choose not to get mastery points from a specific area then that’s really on them rather than the existing system.

LMFAO! it not about “choosing” , its about the ability! (or lack of) wow

Everyone has the ability to get all of the mastery points from the HoT story. Just because something may seem difficult to someone, doesn’t mean that it is impossible. There’s a big difference from being unable to get something and choosing not to.

No, i disagree. not everyone has the ability to get all mastery points from story. your kidding yourself if you believe that. that’s like saying everyone has the ability to do ALL the JP’s. and so on and so on.
I do agree that there’s a big difference from being unable to get something and choosing not to. thats common sense.

This isn’t about me finishing, I already gave up. I just felt I had to explain why myself and so many people are just done with the game. This is a thread addressing the issue that the current system being so tied to adventures right now just isn’t a smart design that only drives off lots of players. If there really wasn’t an issue there wouldn’t be +5 threads about adventures being an issue in just the first few pages of this forum which is less active then the reddit. There IS a problem you can try and rationalize anything I say how ever you want, but it doesn’t change the fact this thread and a ton other exist talking about this kinda stuff, and it doesn’t change the fact a huge chunk of the community just wasn’t interested in this kinda stuff and left. I wanna see it get fixed I don’t wanna talk about how the problem might not be so bad if you look at it in just the right way.

yep. this is where im at myself. wanted to make the new SB, but dont see myself able to max my mastery’s. im at 149 atm and dont see how im gonna max out w/o numerous silvers. i find it hard to even log in lately.

And yet, she still doesnt clear things up :/ every time I enter L.A. , I get another message from her. Maybe they are trying to run us out of L.A. ?

but this is the first time in, well, seems like forever that I haven’t gotten at least one drink. lol and I have never gotten just snow. ever

its been awhile since ive gotten anything but snowflakes from my home instance node. I used to get at least one sometimes 2 drinks. lately, nothing but snow.

Sir Alymer.3406:

How about instead of any account wide map unlocks, if one has removed the smudges on the map, those become grayed out but detailed for all your alts. Thus making map comp so much easier. Everyone would still have to do map comp on each new character, BUT they wouldn’t be doing it blind anymore.

Or… have screenies of all the maps with route detailed out open on your 2nd monitor and run thru the maps in a wiz!! lol

I have no idea why is does this, but when im by myself or with only a couple ppl, I hear it (im the wielder) when theres more ppl around, I don’t hear it at all.
I do agree though, it is annoying. , but I rarely hear anyone say anything about it so I don’t really worry about it.

You need to complete the DS meta and after killing Mordremoth the vendor is available

lol im guessing when fixing void jumping by placing invisible walls, they just started slapping them in places and a bunch got slapped in the wrong place!! lol

not only is it bugged so that you don’t get achiev by using ley lines, its bugged so that you can get it w/o having ley line gliding unlocked!
video of where to get it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OonxeRgYrq8&feature=youtu.be

all I can find on the wiki is “Glide along ley lines in Dragon’s Stand.” same as the ingame tip

I finally max out my gliding. went to dragon stand to get the achievement. used at least 2 dozen ley lines, no credit, no achievement, no mastery point.

MadRabbit.3179:

Like define “reasonable”? Or what the GW2 teams idea of “reasonable” is? Since it’s pretty clear when it comes to the cost of materials and grinding, “reasonable” is very a subjective and broad adjective.

Like is “reasonable” going to be something personally obtainable by a single individual who hasn’t been stockpiling tons of materials and gold since the dawn of GW2? Is “reasonable” obtainable without the help of an entire guild of people if you don’t all into the former category?

Because if “reasonable” is according to the same standards you have applied to everything else in HoT where players are being treated like hamsters in a wheel, endlessly grinding massive amounts of materials for little reward, because economic stimulation is priority one and player’s actual enjoyment is second, then “reasonable” is pretty debatable.

At the end of the day, you have a personal crafting profession that is intended mostly for the benefit of the entire guild, but also contains a small percentage of personal items. This crafting profession currently requires the help of an entire guild to complete and the results of that guild’s time and material investment are not owned by the guild. A player can quit the game, leave the guild or use their crafting profession to help other guilds, all three creating scenarios ripe for drama and hostility when the original guild who helped them loses out on their investment.

It seems to me the scribe profession is way more broken and controversial than just making prices more “reasonable” can fix.

THIS!!! I couldn’t have said it better

after having it happen a couple times, I started using the guild bank in the Guild Initiative, or w/e its called. haven’t had it happen once yet in there.

Daddicus.6128:

But, they did. See my post above on the most recent balance update (giving credit for reviving people),

this was put in because of the new healer classes. I myself run a Druid, and with my full druid setup, don’t do a lot of dmg, I try to keep ppl alive, either with heals or rez’s.
so they added the rewards for these classes so we still get credit

Ahh yes, never thought of that! nice lookin pauldron too. im a ways from Herald though :/ lol

Im thinking the pauldron needs to be on the right shoulder, because when on the left, while holding a Hammer, it clips, badly, with my head!!! lol

I think the system in place at works just fine. I have had to use said system a few times. even just recently, and w/o a hitch, I deleted the items and in no time had my refund thru ingame mail. ive been playing for over 2 yrs now and in that time have done a few stupid things ingame, and CS has always come thru.

TL;DR: edit gw2 shortcut in your start menu and add parameter -bmp after gw2.exe. No more 15% quality jpeg

ok, but can we use that along with -assetsrv 151.249.90.199:80 ??
