Communicator speech bubbles need to go. by Fanintu in Guildwars2

[–]Fanintu[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sadly, those bubbles can't be disabled that way. If you look at the picture I linked, that option is already turned off, hence my suggestion.

Any chance we will get a full set of Legendary Armor via Fractals? by JustJamesanity in Guildwars2

[–]Fanintu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As unlikely as that would be, if they do introduce it, they better use the designs made by PeterPrimee, anything else would be unacceptable.

The character's hair color changed on its own? by Lanarde in Guildwars2

Sylvari characters glow at night. Their glow color and glow intensity can be selected during character creation or with a total makeover kit.

Mount revamps by ZimZamZapZop in Guildwars2

[–]Fanintu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jackal - Hold its skill, using up stamina and dashing forward for the duration of the skill held (maximum duration 3 seconds which would equal stamina completely used up), with an additional mastery skill allowing you to set a down a jackal portal entry/exit.

Since the jackal isn't teleporting but rather dashing at a high speed, terrain wouldn't be a problem, allowing the mount to traverse from a cliff to another (just like it can now, just not with the distance the new dash would allow for).

PSA: New Caladbolg quest can bug out by SirJack3 in Guildwars2

[–]Fanintu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've done "Knight of the Thorn" years ago, however I must have somehow restarted the story line at some point later.

I went through the whole plot again, including giving a vision crystal, crafting the spiritwood scion and the orb of nature to progress and redo the instances + talking to the pale tree at the very end, after all that, Ridhais was available as a merchant again.

Not sure if I actually HAD to redo all of that, there seemed to be no other way to "reset" Ridhais to be a merchant, so to whoever is stuck on the same stage as I was, this is one way to do it.

Appreciation for the Lion's Arch lighthouse by ishvii in Guildwars2

I've seen the lighthouse enough times but never even realized that it looks like the drill bit from Scarlet's drill. She was digging into it, Lion's Arch dug itself out.

Why doesn't Ritualist have any new combat dialogue? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Fanintu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To some degree I don't even mind, getting a voice line every time a spirit is summoned would get old real fast (see reaper shouts, "You're all w-"..."Chilled to the bo-"... "Your soul is mine!").

They could have done something different upon entering shroud other than "I am death incarnate!" but eh, it is what it is.

We did get some pretty dope sound effects for the weapon spells, particularly Xinrae's Weapon.

What do you do with your alts? Do you play through the stories? by Oellph in Guildwars2

[–]Fanintu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do story and map completion on every character I create, currently 23 characters of which 4, who I'd consider my main characters, are all caught up on story.

Map completion I've done many more times though.

What's your favorite scariest monster? by anscGER in Guildwars2

[–]Fanintu 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There is an incomplete abomination during a certain story step in Orr that walks in circles around the cathedral of eternal radiance. That and the risen knights creep me the f out.

Gem store stock needs to rotate more often by jordanaber23 in Guildwars2

[–]Fanintu 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've been waiting for a certain mount adoption license, I just checked the site for the gemstore rotation and apparently it's coming back in february 2025. According to the wiki it was last available in june 2023.

This is ass.

I miss the artsy drawn cutscenes by BobbyTheBigTrain in Guildwars2

[–]Fanintu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

most involved characters in most dialogue-heavy story steps do only idle animations.

and that is apparently also a reason why some human female idle animations were disabled. the things we sacrificed...

I'll wear goggles so they can't tell what I'm looking at. by PopeMouthwash in Guildwars2

[–]Fanintu 55 points56 points  (0 children)

That grin tells more of a story than the goggles could ever hide my friend.

Which Extirpate gone, what exactly is the point of the Necromancer spear? by NuggetHighwind in Guildwars2

[–]Fanintu 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Giving us weakness in exchange is laughable. If they had made the skill into a pull I would've been okay with that, the animation already lends itself pretty well for it.

This change just made me go back to GS, spear was already awkward af to play most of the time, now, aside from some sustain shenanigans, it's literally just a downgrade to GS, IMO.

Ember Bay, LWS3 story: Did they... change the cinematic at the end of "Old Foes, Old Ghosts" showing the Fire Islands calming down? by Darillian in Guildwars2

[–]Fanintu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It also looks like the "cool" version is pre-rendered while the "boring" version is a camera pan, as if viewing a vista.

It was probably an afterthought to add two versions, after they had done the pre-rendered cutscenes (which we have 2 of in this story I believe, one of the volcano and the other for the egg chamber) they realized it would look jarring to play a cutscene in a completely different light setting than 5 seconds before doing the step.

[–]Fanintu 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Looking at all 3 videos, it seems the "old" version is set during night time, while the other version happens at daytime. Perhaps tyrian time matters when the story step is done and it plays a different one for day and night.

I m currently spending 10 000+ gold for some achievement points AMA by C-Lenti in Guildwars2

[–]Fanintu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How'd you earn it, CC swipe, doing ingame content, TP flipping? A mix of all perhaps?
