Guild Wars 2: The One Thread

[Migey]

I've asked before in another thread but got no response - can anyone who tested out the Thief tell me how much Initiative you regain from using Signets while traited into the trait 'Signet Use' in Critical Strikes?

I've spent ages searching on here and GW2Guru and the wiki but can't find any solid number - the two times i did get something solid, they disagreed, one source saying 2 initiative and another saying 3.

Posting this here.

Pretty epic, although long, WvW video of essentially a harassment team. Between about 5-8 people taking on much larger groups of enemies outside the safety of forts. Shows some nice team work.

Again this is a long video (about and hour and a half).

Lore question: what known races was there during the first time the Elder Dragons played around in Tyria?

There are no known races. The Elder Dragons preceded all known life, even the "true giants." (Giganticus Lupicus or something like that)

[Loaf Lord]

Hell, even the six human gods weren't there before the elder dragons.

This is a great post to answer a lot of questions for those that have heard little about the game, I know of a few people that I'll be pointing in to this direction.

What about the massinfo Thread?

[Loaf Lord]

Honestly a lot of the lore about the beginning of the planet is shrouded in mystery. Chances are we'll learn more about it from in game.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Timeline Is a timeline of the events in GW2. You have to read it from bottom to top. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Elder_dragons here's a little more info about the elder dragons. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gods_of_Tyria here's more about the human gods.

Okay so basically the human gods did exist before the dragons, but it wasn't the same group of human gods that there are now. Human gods change over time, kind of like presidents. The human gods created Tyria, but the elder dragons appeared mysteriously.

It seems like Prophecies and Eye of the North is the only campaigns with a storyline that matters for GW2, is that correct?

Well, for Tyria. I didn't play GW1, but Prophecies and Factions took place on separate continents so they wouldn't have been as important. Eye of the North and GW Beyond set the the stage for GW2. Prophecies I don't think would matter as much, but it takes place on Tyria as well.

"We are an action combat MMORPG..."

Let the Guild Wars 2 clones commence!

Don't be silly. Can't you tell by the targetting reticule that it is a a Tera clone?
Wait, wait, better yet.. a DDO clone.

At least for the initial release Expansions are more than likely to focus of Nightfall and Palawa Joko. I'm sure Factions will be back in at some point too.

Anything that happened in prophecies and factions was due to the main boss of nightfall, to say nightfall didn't matter is slightly silly. Nightfall 'mattered' the most of the three. However, that is NOT what you were saying, just thought I'd point that out. As for mattering specifically for GW2, none of the others mattered yet as we can't currently get to them. Cantha will go back to mattering once we can actually.. you know.. GET to cantha. :P

Now that is pretty damn impressive.
Just contacted gw1support about something and got a reply 20 minutes later. Even better than the very quick and positive experience I've had with Trion and Blizzard in the past. And it's like crazy o'clock.
Bodes well.

Tempting! I've have to move a few thousand miles...but I led a customer support team for a while, might be worth a shot!
I did vow to never do customer support ever again though......but at least I know what my reply to any customer complaint would be: ur playing gw2 u fool! What could you possibly have to complain about!?!? Effective I think.

GW1 question: coming from the other campaigns I'm now in Vizunah square and there should be a mission alongside Master Togo. Guardsman Chow even tells me that Master Togo is just ahead in the Courthouse Square, but I can't find him. The mission doesn't start. Can anyone help me?

Edit: nevermind, I missed the "enter mission" button -.- seems I'm too much a noob and need a tutorial for stuff like this O_o

[Ishu]

Hah, you're not the only one. I missed that button too and ran around for an hour or so trying to figure out where the mission NPC was.

Looks like the gw2.luna-atra site has a crafting tool now
http://gw2.luna-atra.fr/craft_tool/

shows some of what you can make with the different disciplines (Weaponsmithing, Armorsmithing, Leatherworking, Tailoring, Artificer, Jeweler, Huntsman, and Cooking)

[Loaf Lord]

anyone else wish there was an option to not use your weapons in the casting animation? I'm one of those weirdos who likes watching my hands twirl instead of jiggling my staff around.
