Guild Wars 2: The One Thread

[Deleted]

i am excited that all content is 5 man content instead of all the shit you have to go through just to make a 10 man or 25 man guilds like in wow, having a good 5 man group goes a long way..

sorry for being an ignorant but can someone point me to where i should go to read about PvE in this game ?

Read "Dynamic Events" all the way to and including "Content Scaling".

Also "Dungeons" much much later in the post.

Servers will be hosted in Dallas, US (for NA) and Frankfurt, DE (for EU).

I simply ran a speed test from www.speedtest.net to Dallas to see how it'd be. 310ms latency with 100mbps fiber. EU server it is for me at least.

30 hours to go...

Time goes slow.

For Euro players, My friends and I decided On Fissure of Woe, if anyone cares to join us that would be awesome

I think I'll be a gladium. I respect no authority. Period.

I've actually been wondering if any of the personal story options will allow that.

i think you are more likely to play 4 char one an elem one a mesmer one a thief and one lock then you are to play 4 thief one slivari one charr one norn one human

when ever any one says but you can't do that it is to hard is a cop out WoW works why change it and you get a game that is 90% like wow swtor did the story thing right but with out branching paths and the one story for 2 classes was a cop out.

in GW2 i can have 2 chars that have the same story one a thief and one a engineer to me that is stupid. i am sorry i think that is better for a story then the silvari waking up at night vs dawn. 99% of all the paths will all ways be the same but not having a step that makes me a top thief in the world is just cutting out more.

GW2 seems more and more like a game that they are just trying to cut out as much as they can get away with and still have a game.

ps if what drakewurrum is saying and you get 3 options that have you prof as the base then you prof dose effect you story and my statment is moot

Errr... you do realize that to have the same personal storyline between two characters they'd have to be the same race AND you'd have to choose the exact same answer to 4 (5 depending on the answer to the issue in the next sentence) questions right? Also is there a confirmation that your profession doesn't matter, that your unique profession-item choice is purely cosmetic? The way some of them are described it really sounds like there could be more story to them TBH.

Sorta. But only within reason of the story and your personality wheel. They give you dialogue like in TOR with little icons showing the personalty aspect the choice conveys. It's more like a Alignment wheel from DnD or MTG than the left/right simplicity of TOR.

That being said, it's really difficult to play an outright villain or purely evil archetype. At best one can be really mean and kind of a jerk based on what I saw. Genocidal maniac flying from world to world w/ a psychotic bazooka carrying midget is totally not possible.

[DrakeWurrum]

You can't be gladium at character creation at the very least.

Random question about crafting:

When using the discovery process, am I to understand tooltips help you in regards to what components to use? Also, is the idea of discovering like this:

-Ok, you put this first compnent here...there are 8 undiscovered recipes using this.
-Now add another; there are 4.
-Add another; there are 2.
-Add another; you discovered a recipe, now craft it!

Is it like this, and at this point your ingredients are used? Or do you use things and hope they combine into an item at some other point in the process?

This "Minsc" doesn't even have 1/10th of the cookies I do

[Fencers]

I hated the bullshit that a Barbarian always ended up Chaotic in DnD. That made no sense. Tribal cultures can be very rigid and duty bound. I should have had the option to play a LE Frenzied Berserker.

FFFUUUU, Dungeon Master Mike! I'll carry this bitterness for years.

I would trade 10 cookies for a mini giant space hamster though...
Not to mention some of the best quotes ever xD

Anyway.....yh...chaotic good is totally where it's at.

[DrakeWurrum]

Mif = Boo.
Now I have to wonder who on the forum is Minsc.

Wouldn't that be like just a large Asura?

It's pretty much as you described it, yes.

Ok, so some items may require 2, 3, or 4 components, and it's not always that 4 make an item. Seems simple and satisfying. Thanks.
