Guild Wars 2

Ok since the whole champ farm and invasion stuff noone does the temples and even before ppl didnt do them and a few of them have items that are only sold by them like the rabid trinkets and really its about time u have those sold somewhere else because noone does the temples anymore since u made some of them annoying to do and replaced them with this champ farm. I know u dont want to do much in orr but plz make those items that are only sold by those vendors somewhere else or add some new jewelcrafting plans for them since they should of had them from the start since u had that stat combo since the game came out.

More crafting options is ALWAYS a good thing

I could not agree more. Pretty annoying to have 400k karma and can’t use any of it.

Ditto. I want the Lyssa set (for the runes). Lately, I only log in to check if it’s uncontested, but no one has touched it for a week as far as I can tell. I got fed up and was soloing it, before I ran out of time and had to do something else…

The ascended crafting will require obsidian shards. Prepare for Balthazar to be open 24/7 for a while.

No one’s going to be succeeding in keeping it open. The only thing that will happen 24 hours out of the day will be people whining about it NOT BEING OPEN on 95% of servers.

The main reason being that most people who show up, don’t follow mapchat OR commanders. I’m planning to put a guide up here of where every single Vet Subjugator can possibly spawn, but I guarantee that almost none of the people in-game showing up will have ever looked at it. Most people will ultimately just buy Orrion Jewel boxes for like 5x the Karma price per Shard b/c there’s nothing else to spend Karma on…. even though they could also be making tons of T6 mats (between 15-40) with the Obsids that we unlock almost daily on the servers that are actually getting good at this whole encounter.

I don’t understand why they limited the shards to the temple of Balthazar.
Just make it a karma item in all the temples already and leave the difference to the stats on their karma gear.

Well since you can guest to the servers that have this open, I’d still like to think Balthazar will be open on some server pretty much all the time, save perhaps the lowest pop time in the timezone.

I don’t think you understand…. It’s not the same Escort it was last month when any old server could do it by Zerging hard enough. They changed the skills of what spawns on it.

People will fail, learn, adapt and overcome eventually.

This is what guild events are for. If you’re a member of a guild with enough people, ask your officers to set up a temple clearing event.

eh? loads of people are doing world bosses and temples

If they weren’t exclusive to Balthazar, nobody would ever do it.
