No, black lion chests didn’t decrease in supply. The increase in price is warranted by the now possibility of receiving a portable Trading Post vendor that is unlimited and bank as well.
I am pondering myself on what benefits does crafting do us. Personally, I’ve always enjoyed this aspect of the an MMO. I can assume there are several reasons to invest time into this area, but also I can relate to reasons not to.
The gains from crafting seem to be possible for particular professions when leveling. Jeweler is one of the best due to the availability of jewelry from drops and the ease of crafting. Weaponsmith is basically worthless seeing a high percentage of drops are weapons. Armorsmith is minimum as well.
So why craft? Well, there really isn’t anything other than XP. But the time required to farm the materials to increase crafting for XP could be easily used to complete another zone granting better rewards than trying to sell crafted items on the TP.
I have now sold all crafting mats on the TP and plan to do so in the future. It seems this is the same approach alot of people are doing due to the lack of zone completion and event rewards.
I sure wish crafting has its perks beyond leveling. It is quite an accomplishment reaching 400 on particular ones, but with an economy so large brings competition which is beyond consideration for even selling items at cost.
The funny thing is if they expect us to farm materials, but there is a anti-farming code implemented into the system. How do we expect to farm for the materials if we can only do it for so long?
I purchased one Gladiator helmet that gave me a prompt saying it was unsuccessful. So I log out to see maybe if it was an error. Then I relogged to buy another and get the same message.
After the log in issues have been fixed(so far), I notice I have two helmets that I bought.
When do we know its safe to buy on the TP? Will this be a continuous issue? Money doesn’t grow on trees for me in Tyria.
Not one component required to make the bow uses Iron Ore. I was curious why I salvage
ore from a wooden item? Do you receive Ore from cloth armor?
I wish alot of people would learn more about economics and competitive strategies when buying/selling. Do these same people complain in real life at prices?
I’m sure its neither encourages or discouraged. People do it all the time in the NYSE. Economy 101 is economy regardless of the commodity or goods. The only difference is the variance in value in the currency. Just as it costs someone to make a trade on the market, Anet is charging their fees as well.
That sucks. If it says what it does, then it should be in their definitely.
In comparison to the world economy, how do you think certain countries thrive? It definitely isn’t on their own economy. So a world economy (worldwide server economy) is better than a single economy (server wide).
Smooth Penguin +1.
A player should choose and do exactly what is fun. Otherwise the game becomes boring. People who complain that they don’t want to put the time and effort in has either 1) been giving everything in life 2) Their parents never taught them self commitment. The finer things in life are achieved by only the effort put forth.
Thank you Kana. I will check those out tomorrow. I knew there were things I haven’t done.
The pve system is amazing all the way up to 80. The point is, after 80 and you’ve completed all the zones and dungeons..there is nothing to do. There is one level 80 instance(legit). LOL
I don’t understand why so many people playing this game are so quick to go after those of us who want to participate in end game PvE dungeons. Its an almost integral part of the MMO experience. As someone who wants to do both PVP and PVE this game is severely lacking in the latter area.
Integral part?! Maybe by your definition, OTOH I was on the side ones who made alts (where thats was remotely fun and sadly that is very low number of MMOs) — grinding same instance 100+ times to get gear to start grinding another one and another and another and another … is definitely not even remotely near my idea of fun.
As someone already said — GW2 is not raid/gear treadmill and it (should, knocks on the wood) never be.
Agreed. Sadly these WoW end game nuts have failed hard to grasp what true end game is. You shouldent do end game expecting some uber item reward. The reward should be the fact you did the content. If you cant enjoy that content then it isent for you. And if there isent anything you can enjoy in the game then to be honest and blunt maybe you should move on to something that has what you want.
So is this a MMO? Since when did MMO start having less end game content? You know Everquest 1 is coming out with its 19th expansion. Content. Thats what drives people.
GW2 is so a treadmill….42k karma for armor? 1400 tokens for armor from explore modes? Who are we kidding?
Then what is the point of having gear in this game unless its just for cosmetics? Are we getting better gear to complete the current content or we getting it look good for our characters?
Sino, most raid/content progression requires better gear. Maybe that is how they are designed. You are correct it can be designed without requiring that.
No, but gear is required to move further in content. This game doesn’t really require that. I’ve done all dungeons. Nothing special. Easy.
No, what I mean end game in achieving better gear to move forward in content. I have all crafted Berserker gear and can pretty much solo anything. Dynamic events no one ever fails. ITs fairly easy. Why do the events when the gear after the temple events doesn’t even look good and its minimal upgrade?
I will admit leveling is fun, so I will just level all characters to 80. Thats it. And maybe some WvW and PvP. The PVe is lacking substantially.
The gear from it is so not worth it. Vigil is on the top floor towards back on upper level. It had Toughness and Vitality. Unless you are a plate tank. The cost is high too, you can find gear for half the price and better on Trader Market from crafters.
Additionally, the tokens that it requires isn’t worth farming considering what can be crafted. The same with Ruins of Orr gear..so not worth the grind. How about the tokens that drop from WvW, it costs an insane amount to purchase that gear too. I don’t mind the grind, but if I can just craft it(Which I have), why do the grind? Please tell me for cosmetics…. I agree with you Neurotix, 100%. BORING.
Zone completion is like 3 silver. I can farm 1 vial of blood which sells 42c +..why would i complete a zone that takes ALOT more time to do.
It seems that the Charr is much larger on the character selection screen than any other race. They are not that much larger and would be easier to view the character if it were on the same scale.
Crafting gear seems to be on par with any vendor gear and alot easier to obtain. I would suggest that route. After that, spending karma on vendor gear is for the looks.
Are you asking about the area just to the east of the area when can access? I believe its not implemented or capable of doing so. I definitely could be wrong, but I am in the same dilemma. The strait that connects the land between is called the Scavenger’s Causeway, but that is all I can find.
The only thing that keeps me interested in WvW. IT is a great concept. However, I do have one complaint. Please implement more waypoints to spawn at. You spend 10 minutes trying to run back to the fight, which probably has moved since, and then requires you to search further.
There isn’t any end game content and the dynamic events are repetitive to an extent when you’re not even guaranteed rare gear. This can be very disappointing to the players who want that. Also, the events are the same. (Heck, only one temple event is working on Dragonbrand server.) So where is the diversity? People want different things. The gear from the events in Ruins of Orr is terrible. IT has the same model as the gear from Temple of Dwyna event. I know this game is about look, skins, blah, blah..people want excitement. I will be very sad if this game flops. However, I do enjoy the PvP and WvW. Those are the two modes that actually keep me interested. Furthermore, they need to allow more waypoints in WvW, because when you die you run for like 10 minutes to get back to the action or to look for a fight.
