[Official] Guild Wars 2 Discussion, Video & Screenshot Thread - Page 605

No game can please everyone so I understand some of your complaints, but I think a few of them need a little more attention.

You said zone clears are the only thing to do in PVE and also mentioned how combat was boring against normal mobs, but never mentioned dungeons! Dungeons are the meat-and-potatoes of the difficult PVE content that actually makes you use your skills.

As for armor smithing, loads of people are doing crafting wrong so maybe the game should explain it more. If you make the same thing more than once you are screwing yourself out of loads of EXP. Crafting gives huge bonuses for discovering recipes in the exploration panel. I'm at 120 armor smithing and I still have tons of ore for weaponsmithing too. Its those claws and blood ingredients I find hard to come by, need more insignias!

Are you playing WvWvW with a guild or some friends? An organized group takes a keep very quickly, and organized teams is really the highlight of the game type. Small groups are better suited to taking supply camps or towers. Don't forget about the PVE built into to wvwvw either, you can recruit local mobs to help your server if you feel useless going back and forth in the big battles. I think this gametype will only get better and better as people hit 80 and a match finally lasts long enough to upgrage some keeps!

Glad you are having fun, hopefully my post can help you have even more fun!

If zone clears are the only thing to do in PvE then I am PvEing all wrong, but apparently it is more fun and faster.

And don't forget to play keg brawl!

What exactly is happening?

And why are all the devs named after colors?

I once saw "Black" running around in the charr starting zone. o.0

That's not a real dev, he was pretending to be one, I remember seeing him the other day bragging about stuff.

I personally know some people that have names that just says a color.

Elementalist can summon weapons which change your bar, one is also dropped on the ground for another player to use.

The little red symbol (company logo) should be an Arenanet dev. At least that's what they had when the game was in beta.

I knew I wasn't doing the most efficient armor smith leveling, as I was making 8 slot bags for my guildies. Maybe warrior just isn't the class for me. I am half a bub short of 30, I think I might make a thief tonight.. those were fun in beta

hi guys,

just bought a physical copy of the game, and now i'm downloading some sort of patch.

Just want to ask something, i was on 26% a while ago, but i had to restart my PC cuz netflix bugged on me. So I closed the guildwars 2 window thinking taht it'll just start downloading where i left off. Upon restarting, starting the download again, i started from 0% instead of 26%... Is this normal? If so, is there a way to pause the download? Thanks ^_^

It starts at 0% again, but you don't lose what you have patched, if that makes sense.

Damn, this is what I've been trying to do colour scheme-wise. I've been using the stock Matte colour because I don't have Silver yet but I do have regular Gold.

Also, a tip to those struggling with gaining crafting levels: abuse recipe discovery. Recipe discovery gives a lot more exp. This is especially true if you're discovering recipes from the most recent tier of items. An example, when I first reached 150 armoursmithing and made my first steel armour discovery, I gained close to 4 crafting levels.
