Guild Wars 2

when you get new items now, they have a nice glow to them to identify that they are newly acquired items! Best Patch Eva. Thanks anet!

Anyone else have their game client stuck at one file remaining? I tried updating my game with the Arrival of the May 20 patch but for some reason my client doesn’t want to patch.

If someone was to mistakenly send you 100g via in game mail?
Would you send it back ?
Edit: If it was a Legendary ?

Ps. Has anyone sent you by mistake a valuable item? If so did you send it back ?

With the destruction of LA, will The Grove, Divinity’s Reach and other towns get more attention? I always wanted the player base to be alil spread out between the cities. Eh, time will tell.

Yes they do need more time to polish their content. I think there was more hype when patches were released monthly instead of bi-weekly.

Please…. Dont give us pre-existing armor and place them on the gem store for 800 gems! What a rip off! I know you guys(Arenanet) said that its hard for you guys to make new armors due to all the races and female/male sets. To make armor Arenanet has multiple things in mind. For example,

• Armor type (Heavy, Medium, Light) 3x
• Race 5x
• Gender 2x

Making that 30 different armor types Arenanet would have to make for one single armor style! :0 ! However, Do you guys think these armors are worth it considering they are just remakes in a different color?

Awesome Job Anet. You can tell this cinematic is different than the rest. Looks good, looking foreword to many more.

not in a heartbeat. btw posting stuff related to other consoles or name brands is a no no or at least that what Arena Net says. Don’t be surprised if this post gets deleted

Just wanted to ask this question. With the soon arrival of next generation video game titles and next generation consoles, we gamers have started to demand more. It is not wrong to ask more of our favorite gaming companies as it brings more competion between companies and better games for us gamers, but with gw2 most(not all) players have become used to this idea of 2 week content. I’ll admit, I’m always waiting to hear new information on Gw2. It’s like every tuesday there is some new information on the game. One tuesday, Arena Net might give us one of their “previews” to the upcoming patches and the next tuesday, its a new patch. (Cant forget monday Lifestreams with the devs). Let us remember that in older mmos, we got an expansion or new content every 5-6 months.

So do you think we have become Greedy or we haven’t? ( I think we are just more spoiled now ) Let me know what you gamers think!

The achievements are awesome! End of Discussion. I think everyone else agrees!

Enough about engis lol . Seriously, Why do you guys get ingored? Rangers is the class right now with the most problems. I figure its because any thing right now thats works with an AI sucks. Ex. Ele’s conjures, Ranger’s Pets, Engi Turrets. I think this game has a problem with AIs and since Ranger’s are soposed to rely on a bad AI(pet) they are going to have major issues.

I am an engineer. I feel your pain to a certain extent. We are close on the charts of broken classes. Just wanted to ask. Were rangers at beta better than rangers now? I was talking with my Ranger friend and he says Rangers were so much better during the beta weekends. Just want to hear your taughts to that.

/salute to all you Rangers!

Engineers are broken?

Really?

FACE-PALM

Ehhh. They can offer more than they do now. I say this because it seems like grenades/bombs are the only viable build in pve. If your running a dungeon and your not using grenades or bombs, you end up getting kicked out the party.

I love Guild wars 2.

I really love this game. Its perfect in my opinion. The best thing about this game is the people that are updating it consistently. Polishing it so that it looks better. In this game the voice of the gamer is heard. Think about it, when is the last time you saw bots in orr? All the big problems of the game are addressed or being looked into. Culling in wvw was fixed and now culling in pve is fixed. Another thing that is amazing is the option that arena net gives players. The way you can customize your game in the options tab is ridiculous. The guild wars 2 experience is amazing. Hands down the best game I’ve ever played.

So its been one year. Gw2’s birthday. Congrats Gw2, Congrats arena net.

Ps. This thread is to show your appreciation for GW2 and for there amazing year. Keep it positive

Post Songs Here Please! this horn is cool. i think its one of the best items on the gem store. I have been playing star wars theme song, happy birthday all day in gw2. Its awesome to play other music with this item and have people in Lion’s Arch guess what your playing.

So with this post i ask if anyone knows of other music sheets that they can share with the community. I’ll share Star Wars witch is an easy one.

Starwars: 1 5 432 8 5 432 85
4342 1 5 432 8 5 432 85 4342

This is item is cool, especially in WvW. (Zerg Incoming! ?)

I’m hoping that it is because this place is so beautiful. It would be a shame if this went away….

I think the balance team doesn’t care about rangers in general. They helped necros and engis out. Maybe it will be complex to help the pet system. They should really show they want to help the rangers out. I mean that in the way that they have interviews like State of the Game and are like yeah…. yeah….yeah… Rangers. then SO GUESS WHAT WE DID FOR THE WARRIOR IN THIS Patch. that how it is…. unfortunately. Sucks if you got a legendary on a Ranger too. Like its nice but for what.?

PinCushion.7390:

I’m mostly a WvW player, which I find somewhat dull. It’s too zergy to really feel like I’m making any contribution at all. I really like the concept of sPVP in this game. So, why don’t I play it more?

Because everytime I hotjoin I get dumped on teams with 3-5 exceedingly good players that are always grouped with each other, focus bursting and bunkering like no tomorrow. I die a lot, contribute almost nothing, and lose without learning anything.

Or I get dumped on their team by chance, and I coast to victory while trying to help out, and without learning anything.

I’ve never gone into a PVP match and left thinking, “Wow, that was really cool how they won that match!” I usually leave thinking, “Why did I waste 2 hours of my time on this? It’s awful!”

I’ve been a huge fan of PVP in every MMO I’ve played, and usually spend the bulk of my time there. I don’t in GW2 because the gap between experienced and newbie players, in terms of builds and team coordination, is so huge that I’ll never realistically catch up. So, I don’t bother. And neither do most of the PvE players that I’ve asked.

Hey PinCushion, I agree with you on hot join games. You should give tournaments a try. Its always 5v5 and since players are playing for rank, it tends to be more competitive. I honestly hate hot joins, but when i tried the tournaments, it was fun because everyone was trying there best. You should give it a try.

I love PvE. I’ve been doing lots of PvE content. But recently. I’ve been having doing PvP tournaments. Its really fun and feels more organized. Players in tournaments go all out instead of the hot join games that got me off from PvP in the first place. So yea, A big PvE player can come to enjoy PvP if they learn the ways of PvP.

wheres the anet mods when your need them? this post probably has violated the forum guidelines. Delete this….

Why is it that only enemies get to see our ranks? In wvw sometimes I don’t even get to see other players ranks because of the huge zergs they travel in. I think that if our ranks were visible to all players then that would make a huge difference. Commanders would be able to distinguish between seasoned players and new players in wvw. Players in wvw can also really give respect to a vet commander by his rank instead of some newbie with a commander tag. I love the rank idea and the fact that it makes you feel like your moving in the wvw game.(some sort of progression) It would be awesome to see the ranks of my teammate in wvw. Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of this and why Anet has decided not to show ranks to all players?

Ps. Just like in PvE where you can see peoples titles, why cant we see people’s ranks like this?

This looks awesome. I feel like maybe, just maybe Guild Wars 2 will allow our characters to fly. I mean just think about it, Sky Pirates of Tyria? And now Bazaar of the Four Winds. Really looks like we might be able to fly in a new but distant future in gw2. What you guys think?

why? why? why?
inc Nerf.

I don’t think there is a solution to RNG. I dont think its fair that a player can do a fractals lvl 48 and only receive one rare. Yup, that’s RNG for yah. It can be awesome 1/1,000,000 times but most of the time it isn’t that great. I do think Anet is working on something that helps players receive guaranteed items.

There is a point where you wait for class balance and instead you get Living story. Not saying Living Story is bad. Just plz fix your beautiful game stained with bugs and glitches.

ps. show all classes some love not just the warrior/guardian/mesmer.

Me and my friend got the same issue. Any word from Anet?

Any new titles with this patch?

So this post is not a rage post, or anything in that regard. It is just information and comments regarding Anet’s Arah Dungeon design

So me and my team started around 7pm arah p4. My team wasn’t a pug, its just they were not all Zerk warriors or Guardians. We had 2 heavies, 2 mediums and one light. We didn’t wipe on any of the bosses. (Pretty good considering that it was our first time doing Arah p4) My team is one of those teams that hate to skip content. There were some mobs we just had to skip. Imagine, killing all those trash mobs? You would last hours doing that! Does Anet wants us to stealth it out and move that way through the mobs? Or are all those Mobs there for us to kill ( Good luck with that ) So why all the trash mobs? Is there really any reason to have them there, considering the length of that dungeon?

Now i know you might say this dungeon is the last one and should be hard and challenging. But this dungeon makes players feel like skipping and just speed running it. The length of this dungeon makes this dungeon bad. How is it that we started at 7 pm and last to 11 pm?(Not a pug group, just balenced) How is that Fun and Challenging Content?(We killed a lot of trash mobs, not all) Dwayna did it for us however. She kept healing faster than what we can drop her. I think her healing is exaggerated. So if we are not warriors with good dps we cant kill her fast enough? During this fight you have to worry about a couple of things

1. DPS
2. Being Petrified(cant fight while your petrified can you?)
3. Dragging the mobs to the seal. (not such a hard task)

By the time you get to Dwayna, you just want to finish and get out of the dungeon(or maybe before Dwayna). Is this what you what your players to be thinking while running your dungeon? I didnt get to finish p4 because while were fighting Dwayna one member had to drop. I hear that there was even more to do after Dwayna.

I think that Arah(ENTIRELY) needs a to be resigned. This dungeon goes against one of the mayor ideas of gw2. New players to this dungeon almost will never find a party to do Arah. Players will never want to unite with other players to do Arah(experienced and the not experienced). Arah story mode is a BIG DISAPOINTMENT to many players. The thing is, Dungeons once completed should leave that Yay we did it feeling. We accomplished something. Not the, OMG were still not done with this dungeon. Theres no way Anet wanted players to fight all those mobs and figure that length of this dungeon is ok. Lets not even discuss the length of cof.(super short)

Anet please give these comments some taught. We love your game, we just feel many of your Dungeons are broken.

Sincerly,
Genesis Vanguard[GV]

what do you guys think about the new enemy aoe circle? Better or Worse?
Personally i think its cool. Now if you have a beaten down PC you see it better

I don’t know what, they want from me
It’s like the more karka we come across
The more problems we see!

I never played gw1 to have known anything about Cantha. After watching WP’s lore about Cantha, it would be awesome to go to this place. To learn about other humans outside of Divinity’s Reach would be great! I wonder if anet will ever tell us the extact details why Cantha is having issues being released.

What do you guys think is going to happen on August 28, 2013 when GW2 will have been released for a year. What has happened in gw1 anniversaries? Do you think anet will follow the same route as gw1 on anniversaries? Im really excited to see what will happen?:)

Ps. Lets Hope for an Expansion

Anyone know the drop rate for these recipes or are they RNG? any advice if one wants to make money like this? I was thinking that if one was to run CM p1, p2 and p3 a day that would be 180+ dungeon tokens. surely you’d get the 35 silver it takes to get the other parts of the recipe. If one where to have this recipe, that person could get 9 gold every 4th dungeon run to craft Plague(ring) or more depending on the dungeon your doing and how much the dungeon ring sells for. Is this a good way to make money off of crafting?

Ps. Feel free to discuss other methods you have of making money through crafting or your ideas on this crafting method.

Game Over.
This Super Adventure Box really shows how the staff of Anet are really talented. This SAB was something fresh and a new experience for all players to enjoy. I love the SAB and I can not wait to do the other levels with my guildies. Its awesome but i still think that keeping the SAB will lose its charm over time. This SAB is too good to lose its novelty. I remember the halloween patch with the clock tower and how people wanted to succeed so bad that after a few tries, some people did go mad lol. But I’m pretty sure those players are just waiting for next halloween for that clock tower again.
So long story short, part of what makes people enjoy and play SAB more often is its limited time in GW2. Thanks anet for your awesome work
Imagine having Christmas everyday?

Yea same here. The flying ambient creatures in the game seem to show a beam of light every time they fly. I saw this in wvw and reported the bug to AN.

I admit that some parts of the dungeons are lacking by the developers. Like in CM, where you have to kill all those bandits in that giant room. thats not really challenging or fun gameplay.

I have a iMac 21.5 inch, Mid 2011 and my game play experience is not so great. I get around 30 to 40 fps on mid graphics. My friend told me to run it on boot camp instead and the fps will increase to 70-80 on ultra graphics. I love Guild Wars 2 but i really hope the mac people get some attention in 2013.

Do you think they are listening or working on fixes for all classes? The real question is are they giving other classes love like the ranger, Engineer and any other class that hasnt had much of an upgrade in the past patch notes? Im surprised i haven’t heard anything from the balance team or class team. Don’t get me wrong, i love u guys Anet, Just would like a word from the Balance team and what they are doing.

Its a sad day when rangers get ignored and thiefs get even stronger….

I think Centhis has a reason to be mad. The Ranger Updates was “great” -_-

Awesome lol I think this should go in the fan art forums though.. Nice Video guys.

I think Anet might do it… Depending on the sales of the PS4. The price is yet unknown but its looking mighty expensive because of the specs. If they can make it work with the controller and CAMERA lol then it might work and we might see it for the ps4. I bet their discussing that right now.

Is it impossible to get a rare dye in a weak level area? Does rare dye chances increase as you go to a lvl 80 zone like orr?

PS. Thank you in advance for any answers, plus any other information on dyes would help too, like dye drops and stuff. thanks!

Best MMORPG I’ve ever played.

Hey there Anet! Im a level 80 engineer and I wanted to ask you guys or the gamers on the forums if you liked the skins of the Legendary out there.(I know everyone likes the Great sword Legendaries) The engineer class only has 3 weapons they can use. The shield, pistol and riffle are only types of weapons that our class can use. I sadly dislike how all the legendaries look for my engi. The shield, i personally think doesn’t fit my engi. The riffle is ok… but thats the problem. It should be more than ok, its a legendary after all. The pistols. well lets not even discuss that… -_- I just wanted to know if anyone has the same issues or thinks that for some Legendaries, the ones that aren’t being made or paid any attention to should be reworked?

Some questions for Anet regarding legendaries?
Are Some of the skins for some legendary being reworked? or even being discussed?
If a player was to get a Legendary and Anet wanted to change how it look, how would that affect the player that has the old legendary?

Thanks in advance Anet
PS. Feel free to talk about how you like or dislike other Legendary skins, Just be Civil about it. Zabriel out.

Thanks For the info Zenyatoo! Your time writing this post is appreciated!

Any Hints? Tips? for fractals. Dont really understand the ascended gear and fractal drops very well. Just wanted some good information about the dungeon. Thanks!
