Guild Wars 2

There is just far too much going on this time around. Ascended gear takes top priority for me and it’s a lot to do ascended + do the SAB. When you guys do ascended armor you might consider doing it and not put out any new living story for 2 weeks. It’s just too much all at once and if I tried to do both I would burn myself out and stop playing altogether. This kinda sucks since I really enjoyed the first SAB.

On a side note I’m really disappointed that players weren’t given any option (like jp’s last time) to get more coins outside of the SAB. The gem shop unlimited should have been in conjunction with something else that gave normal coins, even if it was something difficult… just so that players could combine those two tasks for just that one part of the event.

SAB stays near one month, not just 2 weeks.

continue coin still drop from jumping puzzle chests, not all the time though. there is a chance for them to drop.

…and I have 3 professions to get to 500… not enough time…

I did the monthly 12 and didn’t get one, but I’ll keep trying for them (rng can be rng). The rate seems too low at the least.

SAB stays for 4 weeks, while crafting stays forever.
And prices are top of the roof atm, so wait it out a bit.

I’d change your priorities

Nah, something that effects how well I perform in the game > something temporary. IMO they should have made an exception and just had ascended for 2 weeks with nothing else going on.

There will also be another living story in 2 weeks from the start of sab : / No matter what I choose I’ll be either missing out on something or burning out.

Continue coins keep dropping for me in jumping puzzles.

Also, with my limited time I am currently focusing on the SAB (with the occasional invasion thrown in, for funds).

I can still craft my way to 500 on October 10th, but won’t be able to play the SAB for months after September.

Also: I’ve been deliberately holding off on crafting as I can do that later when the “optimization” guides are out, to make sure that I’m not wasting any precious resources.

gw2crafts already has guides jfyi… holing off won’t do much good with the constant new content every 2 weeks with living stories imo. I’ll be very busy for quite a while with ascended gear and multiple alts. Just sucks since I enjoyed living story + WvW up till now and now I gotta choose between upgrading, WvW, and living story : /

You can still do what you want. Clearly you want ascended more than SAB, so there’s nothing to complain about.

if you really in a dire need for ascended and in scarce of gold/mats,.. don’t do sab this patch, farm mats instead.
sab will certainly be back in the future,.. if you don’t like the color green and yellow that is,..

Ah, people are quick.

I imagine that resources needed to craft are a little more expensive right now due to the initial rush, I have no problem with waiting.

I know that new content is coming out every few weeks, but crafting isn’t going anywhere. Nobody said that I must be fully equipped with purple weapons by a specific date…

Like I said before… I usually do WvW and living story. I solo/small group roam (Zerg = ZZZzzzz). It’s VERY important to have competitive gear in that sort of environment when you’re taking on 2x++ your numbers.

If I was just doing PvE I wouldn’t care as everything is scaled for rares (unless they changed that to exotics with this patch?).

Ascended crafting =’s not enough time to play how I would like to play : /

On a side note I don’t see T6 mats dropping in price any time soon. People are already hoarding to try to prep for the next ascended upgrades as well as the new legendaries. If you think this is bad… think of the price of cloth once they put out ascended armor. GG to everyone’s wallet.
