Guild Wars 2

but we can party queue in PvP.. so why not Activities? .-.

yeah i tend to agree with what others have commented in here already, game has lost it’s original vision of a truly unique MMO where it is all about “Your Story”.

but you can’t fault them either, it’s a business they need to stay afloat. they make decisions that are critical to the continued lifetime of the product while maximizing profits.

not forgetting forum posts always only represent a minority of the community, albeit they’re the ones that care most about the product.

and also like many other comments already said, gw is still a better game over the other available competition, but how “well above” , definitely not much and sure feels like its plataueing against other games now.

apologize in advance, search function not giving me anything and most likely been asked before…
so move thread to appropriate forums if need be.

but why can’t we join Activities as a party (with friends) yet? (dragon ball, keg brawl, crab toss, sanctum sprint, etc.)

even better if we could “hot join” to play as 2 made-parties against each other..

would appreciate if someone could link me to previous such discussions as I’m sure this has been asked before, I just can’t find those threads..

thankies.

find me in game, we welcome all and any asura lovers into our all-asura guild
Mainly Sea of Sorrows guild, we currently as of this posting are at 90+ asuras strong and growing.
We have a teamspeak channel on the main SoS TS, but would love to have our own ts some day.
We currently only mainly focus on Guild Missions and PvE/World Events, maybe some EotM karma trains at times.

Majority of our members are still very committed their main guilds, so they’re not actively repping this Asura guild yet… as we grow I’m sure we’ll slowly find more committed asuras to help in growing this into the most awesome asura guild.
We need “officers” and “council members” to help lead this guild in WvW/PvE.

Join us! We’ll be running a Guild Bounty (all asuras!) tomorrow Thursday 8PM PDT (GMT-7), if not join us on Friday evening, same time.

~Super Secret Mighty Asuras [Paws]

Hihi,
This is not really a ‘recruiting’ post, it’s here because this is the Asuras section.
We all love asuras here, and we have started a guild just for asuras.
We’re 90+ asuras strong now, Sea of Sorrows server mainly, looking for more and any other asuras out there that might share the same interest…

The dream is to see a giant ball of tiny bobbing around doing world events/guild missions together, and even WvW if we get proper officers/leaders for that.
Feel free to whisper or pm me if you’d like to join us or has questions! We just unlocked Guild Bounties and slowly working up toward Guild Rush c:
(Speaking of, we have scheduled a Guild Bounty in less than 30mins from now, starting at 8PM PDT (GMT-7), find me in-game if you’d like to hop in too)

For the Eternal Alchemy! And cute..!

Hi,
Sorry not sure where the suggestion box is, and I’m sure this has more than likely been suggested too as well…

Anywho, was thinking it would be useful for guild leaders/officers that manage the MOTD (Message of the Day) to have a in-game mail mailed out to every member of the guild (repping or not) so that guild members get notified of the new announcements.

Yes it might also open up some spam opportunities, but I’m sure if a feature like that was implemented so would the measures to curb potential spamming.
I think it would be really nice to have so guildies that aren’t always repping or even checking guild messages will now never miss out on important guild notes! <:

LAST EDIT! SUCCESS! WE LOVE YOU ANET! Newest blog post here regarding account bound legendaries instead. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/account-bound-wxp-legendaries-and-ascended-gear/

Unless I really misread this article, it doesn’t say anything about removing legendaries from the wardrobe — just that they’ll be account bound rather than soul bound.

supernomnom.6594:

The new blog post regarding Legendaries is interesting and welcomed for sure.

But WHERE DOES IT MENTION anything about a change to their initial Wardrobe skins plan?

So now it seems to me it’s even better, players can not only transfer a Legendary tier item across an infinite number of characters, but also pull out the skin itself from the wardrobe an infinite number of times.

There is no precise confirmation, […] but it would be automatically assumed, that they are doing this rather than putting it in the wardrobe system.

great, so the edit note in bold in your top post of the thread nullifies all 12 pages of ranting simply based upon another assumption. splendid.

the way i see it still, anet has been developing this Wardrobe system since the account-Wallet patch update (months ago) and most likely had a ton of pre-production meetings for this new system prior to starting work on it. They are now like only a couple or so weeks away from going live with this new Wardrobe patch, it’s too late to make any big changes to the system.

They clearly most likely would also have discussed this exact issue in their meetings. It’s just unfortunate that a minority “niche” of the player community will be left disappointed, but at the end of the day, it’s an MMO business, and you can never make everyone happy as hard as you try to. They need to go with the majority, and this new Wardrobe system is a great great feature and really well done, it caters to the majority of the community and pleases lots.

They have probably over 4million players now, out of that you have probably just a couple thousand players that own a legendary… and out of that tiny pool you probably only have a thousand players that are dual-wield characters (sword/focus, d/d, axe/warhorn, etc)… and out of this narrowed pool you have your duplicate-weapon dual-wielders.

And finally out of that super tiny narrowed down pool of players, only like a few hundred will actually come and read the forums/patch notes and respond.
They won’t go out of the way just to keep this tiny tiny niche of players satisfied. It’s just too much work for them and doesn’t make very much sense business wise.

It’s too bad this new system will probably make Legendaries loose some of it’s coveted significance and value, but it’s a excellent new system that will be a crucial part for the future of the game’s success.

If you seriously want some attention, sign that petition floating around, get it up on facebook or reddit and ask your guildies to link in too.

keep in mind that the Wardrobe only grants account-wide-access to the item’s [skin], and not the item as a whole. Legendary items are a tier of its own, meaning it has a superior set of stats/infusion over other tiers.

Since it’s only a skin and cosmetic, we can only speculate Anet concluded this change will yes, hurt the minority of players that gave their all to craft every single thing for their character’s appearance, but ultimately this new Wardrobe system will be for the best of the game and the majority of fans moving forward. The new system will cater to lots more players and bring smiles to the majority.

You can’t make everyone happy in an MMO, as a business, majority always wins.

there’s a petition related to this matter already up apparently
share on reddit if you can, someone.

Please +1 if you also feel Incinerator is still deserving of some further aesthetic/visual impact upgrades :\

Dual wielding Incinerators is a huge grind and end game goal, and it is essentially the same as crafting 2 Legendaries of any kind (Bolt + Meteor, Sunrise + Twilight, Moot + Prophesies, etc)

However even with 2 Incinerators, you can’t even feel that accomplished. Unwielded you hardly ever have a chance to notice them… it seems like most other Legendaries are a lot more impact fulfilling even while stowed away. Even the Predator has a full-body glow aura while stowed.

Hoping there can be some upgrade for Incinerators. Maybe adding a body aura or some mid-air particle trails whatever is creative.

Please +1 if you feel the same. C:

We have a new guild, growing steadily, specially targeted to all Asura-fans in the game. This is a Sea-of-Sorrows based guild, but we definitely welcome all and any Asuras from any server!

Ever wanted to storm through Guild Missions as a giant horde of little Asuras? Or WvW.. or dungeons… or Jormag/Frostgorge Sound zerging? We do too!

Join up with like-minded Asura-loving players from around Tyria in our guild! We aim to be the biggest all-Asura guild and have lots of plans once our numbers get big enough!

And for that we need Reps and Commanders! Join early now and get our limited Founder guild rank title. Guild Rep is preferred especially when playing on your Asura! Feel free to rep other guilds on your other characters or play them all here amongst the many other little Asuras!!

Whisper me: Koororo for more info/questions C:

I’ve been hoping for the best as well that anet enhances the stowed visuals/effects of the Incinerator daggers… we work so hard and put so much playtime into the game to craft these items and guildies barely even notice them when they are stowed… compared to all other new skins easily obtainable from the events these days, this stowed Legendary is really underwhelming… even the Meteorlogicus, Howler, and Minstrel looks beautiful stowed.

I’m concerned about my already small guild getting even smaller. My guild members are repping other bigger guilds to do missions, most of which end up staying there and not coming back.

just trying to figure out but after reading this News Post from November, https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/linsey-murdock-unveils-new-high-end-ascended-gear/

Are legendary weapons considered ascended yet, with the same level of stats ascended items give? I checked the GW2 wiki but it only shows regular stats.

I don’t think theres much you can do on your side. It seems the problem is on their side.

Thanks i actually just caught up with the other topics in this forum and apologize for duplicate topic.

I see a bigger topic reporting same BSODs and crashings after the most recent patch.

Guess I’m outta luck until a new patch comes in next week or 2… they don’t work weekends.

Intermittent connection is not the same as fps/client crash issues.

Hi

I was just wondering if I was the only one experiencing this issue.

After the latest build on 28th Feb/March 1st (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Game-Update-Notes-February-26-2013), my game has been seriously chugging, FPS has been dropping to 15 – 25, which never happened prior to this date (even if it did it would be very rare and for just a few really brief moments).

It has come to a point where I am even going back into my game’s Graphic Options to adjust all the settings to minimal, which I’ve not had to tinker with ever since the game launched.

This morning, about 10 minutes getting into the game, frames started chugging again (from a steady 70 – 80fps down to 15 – 24) and then crashed out entirely including freezing up my whole machine having me to reboot completely.

Are there others out there having the same fps issues which started only the past couple of days?

I’ve updated my drivers to the latest ones already and no difference.
Nvidia 560ti 64bit Win7 Ultimate (nvidia drivers 314.)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone noticed and knows why this “1 player” is buying bulk loads of so many random items? Go check it yourselves, almost any drop you get from chests, there will be “1 buyer” that placed a big order on it, items that players like me, otherwise sell directly to the NPC merchants.

The asking price of this mysterious single player shopper is also always less or more than what you would otherwise profit from instead selling it to an NPC… like this player is definitely not doing this to “corner the market” or “horde to sell later” or “buy from players to sell to NPCs for a profit”, he or she is actually making huge losses by Placing An Order at such prices…

So please explain what’s going on? Why do this? Why buy so many, definitely can’t turn a profit either?
