Lucy.3728 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Um, don't you have stacks of those experience books? https://i.postimg.cc/5tmd696w/gw430.jpg Create a char -> spam click the books -> lvl 80 (no unlocked waypoints and no lvl 80 celestial equipment though but veterans have excess of armor anyway and the rest you can get from the wvw dude) For armor of my choice -> https://i.postimg.cc/ZRWpsntm/gw431.jpg For everything of choice -> https://i.postimg.cc/zGMgb5HP/gw432.jpg Not to forget the AA Rewards you can choose for ascended gear. For fast HPs -> https://i.postimg.cc/LXCK2HsN/gw441.jpg ANet has made things way easier already. If you're not a newbie. A newbie has to plan ahead and prepare. Like I do certain rewards tracks on my latest account, as preparation for ascended gear from a npc. Takes time but no grind and no extra effort (for me). https://i.postimg.cc/NFyQ9y9K/gw442.jpg (and it is the first step for a legendary) Edited February 8 by Lucy.3728 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watt.6420 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Suggestion: have a searchbox on the map to find areas. I can never remember where anything is at. e.g: being able to type in "lake" and have lake doric be highlighted or zoomed in on would be handy.

You can just go out to the gem store and buy one! My car is 10 years old.

This way no one would have to change dyes every time one change skin on its Mount. You mean each (Mount) skin have its own Dye Customization Setting? Because Mounts are already different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt.6420 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Suggestion: List watched achievements in the UI based on current zone. I have 20+ achievements I've added to my UI to be able to track, but only one from the current zone is showing. The ones I'm tracking are all for the return to achievements. The UI should list the ones I can complete in the current zone before ones from other zones. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m aware of this, and even mentioned that in my original post - we can disable player bubbles, but currently we *can’t* disable NPC bubbles. My suggestion was that there should be an option to remove *NPC* bubbles specifically, especially since radio messages appear above our character’s head and obstruct our view. Thanks for trying to help though! ❤️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNougat.8390 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Suggestion: Add a legendary for the Module: Sensory Array & Module: Service Chip, optionnal: level 500 Jeweler especially for this. Edited February 8 by MrNougat.8390 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarusto.2941 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 As there is already gear customisation window, how about extending its functionality regarding legendary effects? Adding toggles to switch on off your unique effects like draw animation, sounds, projectile and trail effects would be a great addition. Then you could change equipment skins without loosing those effects that make legendary gear special or just turn off effects that wont work for you or your character. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Yes. The more gear they add, the more difficult/expensive it is to equip my 50 characters.

GW2 is the 12 year old car and i'm not asking for a new game. 😉 Quote Um, don't you have stacks of those experience books? https://i.postimg.cc/5tmd696w/gw430.jpg i do, over SEVEN HUNDRED of them, and i've leveled 5-6 characters using them, but recently i've used my 3-4 Level 80 boosts and man, it is just such a better experience. which is why i think there should be a way to convert the Tomes into a boost, even if it takes 200 of them i'd still gladly do it for the quality of life and the hour or two it saves, but £20? hell naw, the boosts are on "sale" now, but they're still £17 which is waaay more than a QoL time-saver should be priced. i recently preorded the Tombraider 1, 2 and 3 remasters and all 3 games came to around the same price as a single lv80 boost. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a monetarily point of view, that's still asking for more free sources of something that you are supposed to buy from the shop. Your choices are, you either pay up for it being faster, or you don't pay and take your time eating through 78 tomes in a row. Convenience makes money. There's a reason why you can't turn your tomes into full boosts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well those tomes are giving it away for free tho you get a crap ton of them just playing, if you want the convience of the boost buy it or go through 78 lvl up chests. It is better now when 85% of it can be salvaged instead of before when all you could do was mystic forge half of it and delete the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega.6801 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Well, next expansion should be happening later this year and if they can stick to the pattern, new weapon masteries may come to the classes in about a year. New elite specs probably won't happen if we can believe the new way ANet wants to do things. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New elite specs probably won't happen if we can believe the new way ANet wants to do things. They have never once said elite specs will never happen again. Just don't expect them every expansion. Maybe expansion 5 or 6 comes with them, or maybe they explore other methods of freshening up combat. I think that's a fair approach. Seems like elite specs may take longer than one year to develop, if they can't crank 'em out each mini expansion. As long as they can keep something interesting coming down the pipeline we'll be fine I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, they didn't explicitly said "We will never, 100%, under no circumstances what so ever do elite specialisation again not even if it was a matter of life or death." They didn't. And no one ever would as part of a PR bubble give a 100% yes or no answer to anything these days. What they did say however was: "In the current design and implementation of elite specializations, we feel that with every new expansion there’s been increasingly limited “design space” left to add new and differentiated roles for each profession. In other words, most of the playstyles that we’d like to see supported for each profession already exist or should exist within their existing elite specialization options." Studio Update Spring 2023 Granted, they were talking about SotO and not about GW2 until the end of time. So sure, expansion 12 could have elite specs again. As I said, no one ever gives 100% yes or no answers as they tend to backfire. All I'm saying is that the elite spec, the OP was mentioning, is probably not going to happen in the next few years. A shield wielding thief however may very well happen in the form of a weapon mastery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen.2907 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Consider going mesmer with dagger/shield? or perhaps warrior? Until they get around to adding shield to thief. For that matter, some foci look like bucklers. So dagger/focus could work to capture the look of a shortsword or dagger/buckler fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulGuardian.6203 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 QoL Ideas/suggestions for World Versus World. 1. Guild Versus Guild You may enter WvW only if you are representing a guild. Even if it is just your own, with no hall, and no other members. However, when you do capture a camp, tower, etc. Your guild gets favour per minute, for as long as you hold that building. Alternatively, Make a Guild Versus Guild mode, in which only a guild is allowed in the map. Edge of the mysts is a perfect candidate for this, as the map is absolutely empty, and it's not being used for anything but the odd person that's either a new player or a bored lonely soul. 2. World Versus World in PVE. The Race wars could continue by adding the same wvw territory capture method tonpve maps. Similar to hirathi hinterlands. For instance: Separatists vs Renegades. Territories: Fields of Ruin to Fireheart. You need: A human character to play for Separatists. A Charr character to play on Renegades side. Description: Enter the wvw pve area by talking to the designated NPC to start battle. Thid would add PvP elements to it to, because as long as you are a member of a faction, eg Renegade. You are open to PvP by any Separatist, in those areas. Further details: Just like WvW, you can capture camps and towers. The territory lines will be shown on map whilst you're in a faction. Return to normal pve to see normal map. 3. Better siege weapons in WvW. Trebuchets and catapults are too old fashion, considering charr and asura technologies. Not to mention Jade tech now. I propose more mounts for WvW. You could still use the old bangers, but would be much more exciting to add Siege Devourers, and siege turtles to wvw in order to take down walls, gates, etc. You could also add a siege mech Similar to golems. But with different weapons. I really hope you consider these. Thanks people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
