Guild Wars 2

well, we asked for a split since launch but as you can see, Anet doesn’t listen until it’s already to late.
GW1 has a split for quite some time and for good reason, GW2 never got a real split even while it is needed from the get go.

Necro is more noob friendly with his sustain in pve

that’s not really true, they take some micro management to get a hang of it while staying alive, especially solo.
if anything, the guardian is a more suited beginner profession, healing is plenty and they have heavy armor.

What is a Guardian? Is that a profession for Necro?

first thing you need to know about GW2 is that we don’t call them a class, it’s called a profession.
a guardian is the same as a necro or anything of the sort, a different profession.
if you want to know more, i suggest you read it up:

Its old concept art but very good. Houyi – Bow of the ten suns its very colorful. Most of the effects have already been thought of.

yes, give us even more pwetty pwincess bows, we don’t have enough of that -_-

no really, if they want to make a new legendary i hope they will make one for the more darkened themed characters, the GS has 3 for each theme yet all the bows have are pretty princess themes.
if anything, have something like this:

go D/WH and you will see why it is a really powerful skill, especially in big crowds it makes killing enemies a walk in a park.

actually when they first talked about the whole wardrobe system ppl already asked to not change town clothing in to tonics but they just didn’t listen, it even takes more time to convert town clothing into tonics then to make them outfits.

no seriously, they actually gone the extra mile to make something no one asked for or even wanted, if they just added it as outfit no one even talked about them ever again.

the only issue i have with it is the way my character is standing on it, she is standing on it as if she is about to fall off while she should stand on it as if she rules it.

sigh….
why is it even an issue, i play mostly female but that’s just my thing, the only 2 guys i have is a charr warrior and a human ranger (that represents me in GW2)

so that concludes it, ether remove the cost from IDing the items or remove the need all together.

reapers are more DPS tanks then support but you could try the staff necro with wells, they support more then ppl realize.

since this is more crystal desert and not really elona i doubt there are any centaurs at all there, you are more likely able to find the forgotten and ancient spirits.

preview outfits without changing them, similar to the wardrobe and dyes.

don’t draw weapons unless you actually use them, right now just a small DMG fall and it’s already battle mode.

most ppl are done at 17:00, they are not home till 18:00 at least.
first you ppl do it when ppl go to bed and then do it at the time ppl are not even home, good timing Anet -_-

i actually want the radar (as it is called) on the top right just like GW1 has it, the lack of UI customization really gave me some frustration fits.

Don’t go AMD, you might get it cheaper but the quality you get out of it is just as cheap.
Always go intel, i know it’s a few bucks more but it keeps your pc allot more stable and the chance of overheating is miles less likely then with a AMD.
also, with nvidia i have a personal law, any version with 50 (or 500 in the early years) are nice for movies and text but that’s all you can do, anything above that and it’s a gaming GPU.

i had a 770gtx and could run games that the 950 could not (not as fast at least), now i have the 1080 and just steamroll any game i want.

well, i still think that travel should be free and armor repair should not even be an issue, it’s better to have a death penalty that lowers the effectiveness of your stats by X%.
so then you can go everywhere without worrying about the cost, your armor doesn’t get damaged but you still get the penalty of dying. (which Anet first said would not happen at all, they said that dying in itself is a penalty in itself already)

PS. you do realize this topic is 2 years old right?

reapers can pull whole groups and PBAOE them, it all depends on what you want tho….

you have 5 ascended weapons and you find that nothing to show for?
i got nothing stronger then exotics after playing since beta, count yourself lucky…..

i dunno about you guys but i have a better chance staying alive with my necro then with my rev, let alone my engi…..

well, since i get kicked down to ask to remove the LA intro video and stop porting new characters to a different place, i say continue with not letting the story skip.
let ppl suffer as ppl want me to suffer, feel the pain of non-skip able things.

in Nvidia cards i always look at it this way, anything 60 and lower is good for movies but that’s it, anything above that is made for games.
i now have a 1080 and have no problems at all with a constant 60+ FPS, i even have Vsync on so the FPS doesn’t go higher then what my screen can handle.

the snow maps with skyrim ambiance music is just perfect, it’s my favorite part of GW2 and i really don’t have many favorite places. (HoT maps are just horrible, all the jungle themed places are not even worth being called a jungle)

so let me get this straight, you put a stress test in the middle of the week on a time most ppl need to work the next day?
no really, think before you act, Europeans don’t live at nigh, we sleep till 7 at least so that means your stress test isn’t gonna have much “stress” to begin with.
and i know your European server is somewhere in ether Germany or Amsterdam so connection is faster, with this time schedule you can just as much stop and wait till ppl are actually awake.

so ppl cry about story cinema not being skipable while that takes about 10-20 seconds but when there are 2 long loading screens and a cinema that can NOT be skipped WHILE the loading screen is there it’s all ok.
SERIOUSLY?

i think that, like anyone staring a new character, likes to avoid LA like the plague.
the reason is because of the starting cinema when you visit LA for the first time (whith that new character), it not only forces the cinema it also places you on a completely different place then where you should be placed.

so what about being able to permanently disable this whole intro, it isn’t just annoying it eats away time, time we could use to play the game.
it pretty much ports you, doubling the loading time and now you have to walk all the way back to where you came from.

i always got this when i just want to go from one starter area to the other so leveling is easier, with this annoyance it takes longer and kind of ruins the experience.

i never saw raid as the typical end game so a story mode would be welcome, end game to me is everything max level. (so that’s allot)

allow armor headgear with outfits
if anything, the headgear has the most choices but outfits mutes all of them, they don’t glitch at all (or it would do the same with armors) and it allows allot more customization options.
have something like a checkbox next to the headgear icon, this allows the headgear of the armor to be seen but it hides the outfit headgear.

i looked in to this contest rules and looked up about the prices, but i see a problem.
by now allot of ppl already have the crystal dragon wings, this kinda lowers the value of the price in question.

so my question is, what if you already have the wings, does that mean you just won for nothing?

it doesn’t say beta, it also doesn’t say diary or blog.
so regardless, none of you are ether right or wrong.

It says that they’ll be giving us more details. This is normally done through blog posts and so forth. You can see this by what they did for elite specialization week. The OP is just reading into something which isn’t there.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/recap-elite-specializations-feature-week/
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/developer-diary-elite-specializations/

read again:

Log in this Friday, August 18 through Sunday, August 20 to try out your favorites in PvP and WvW during the elite specializations preview weekend!

August 15 – Elite specializations developer diary video and blog
August 17 – Elite specializations on Guild Chat
August 18 – Elite specialization preview weekend begins
August 28 – Mount Week begins
September 3 – Crystal Desert and Story Week begins

they specifically show what is and isn’t a blog or chat, nothing is mentioned about a blog or anything with mounts week or story week, nothing.
so as far as anyone’s guess, it can be anything.

well, i have not seen the GW1 armor sets for quite some time, it’s about time to have them especially since the game is now 5 years old.

i dunno what you’re talking about, a small bit of skin shown doesn’t make it skimpy and mostly there are no skimpy armor.
i have counted 14 “skimpy” armors but mostly because of the chest armor, the rest isas covered as a borka.

it doesn’t say beta, it also doesn’t say diary or blog.
so regardless, none of you are ether right or wrong.

i personally hope that one day, we can choose in-game official music lists depending on what you own.
that way we can choose to listen to this instead of the weird music they have for the new Xpac

so my account has to be at least 12 months old to get a birthday present?

did you know that you were born on the same date as your birthday, isn’t that a kicker….

allow weapons to be previewed in off-hand, previewing a dagger while the character is holding it on his/her back isn’t really a nice way to preview something.

i looked at them and i thought “is this it?”, no really, i waited 5 years for weapons that look as bad (or worse) the lion arch weapons?

Konig Des Todes.2086:

The cogs are more than just currency – they are also a vendor item.

and a vendor can be placed in LA, is that really so hard to understand?

yes, add more particle effects for computers to crash, let’s see the legendary enemies be attacked by high-end computer owners only…..

@Sorudo
If you are ready to accept a rat/smurf combo race that builds Golems and uses lightning or plasma as weapon and on the other hand find waypoints immersion breaking, you are more of an roleplayer than I am.^^

waypoints are no different from traveling like in GW1, the only differences is that it costs silver to use them and there are waypoints everywhere.
a mount will always add immersion, fast travel has always bin a cheap shot.

what costs more, fast travel everywhere even if it’s just 1 waypoint away or a mount?

there are a few reasons why i rather take a mount over waypoints.

• waypoints actually break immersion while mounts add immersion.
• mounts saves a few loading screen compared to waypoints. (not everyone has an SSD HDD)
• it costs absolutely nothing while you do go fast from one place to another
• travel fast while still staying flexible on where to go.

i find it lack lusting, yet another currency we can’t store as currency and a crap headgear.

1. What’s there to store? Just get the items you want, problem solved. It’s not like this box will be available indefinitely.

the cogs are currency just as black lion tokens, a currency that should work and store like one.

2. Crap headgear? There are several cosmetic items, also for the head, not just one. The monocle skin is fantastic!

i got the dragon headgear, it’s just ugly with a capital U.

that is true, however, when a dev tell time constriction problems and when anyone else tells that excuse is another issue entirely.

i accept that when a dev tells me that, they know the schedule and know how long it’s gonna take to implant the idea.
when some regular jo tells me it’s gonna take really long while my experience tells me otherwise i tent to not take him/her serious.

Jimmus.2083:

Come on, let us choose our own launcher images. The new purple raptor rider graphic is awful. It looks like it has a color palette of about 8 colors, maximum.

think wut u wanted was something lik this?

https://i.redd.it/9c9a6vryffez.png

note, i just seen it, i’m not the maker

honestly, that fits the PoF theme allot better and is calm to the eyes.

i am one of the lucky few that kinda knows how things work in the gaming industry, not Anet specifically but in general.

that said, i think the whole “but the dev time is…” excuse is BS, when a feature is worth it then it actually is worth the dev’s time to add stuff in the game.
the thing is, a worthy feature, big or small, will bring money in the bank, adding new but exiting features in the game lures more players and existing players are more likely to spend some because this feature enhances their game experience.
better yet, good features brings existing players back in to the game, improvements will always shine.

Ashantara.8731:

sorudo.9054:

i personally hope they will do the rest of the PS too, in PoF for the first time i felt emotion in the dialog and that’s something the PS lacks.

Woot? The personal story is the only content that is transporting and triggering emotions (depending on the paths you choose, many are super exciting and fun, others are lame).

compared to GW1, the dialog is stale and sounds like a bedtime story from a book, when dialog sounds like someone is reading it out loud we have a problem.

4K is getting cheaper all the time and streaming options are starting to become available.

ANET will have to address this eventually. Sucks that they always seem to be last one to get on the train though. Not a very good business strategy.

Pretty sure I heard the same complaints about VR support … it’s just not a high priority.

VR support is only asked for for about 1-2%, 4K becomes the new HD ready so you will see a steady growth of ppl asking for that.

JPUlisses.8756:

Guild wars 2 is the best engine in MMO, why guild wars 3?

still runs on DX9, barely has any 64bit support, 4K makes it unplayable, textures are at it’s max supported quality yet is even worse then oblivion standards, no bump mapping, still works with old fashioned spite systems, etc..

the engine needs as serious update if they want to compete with the other games, even WoW, a really old game, still competes while GW2 lacks behind.

i find it lack lusting, yet another currency we can’t store as currency and a crap headgear.
