Guild Wars 2

If I remember reading right, it’s a super rare BLC drop. I’ve been looking for it on the TP for some time as well but haven’t seen it. I know I’d buy it up if I did see it though. It’s the only home node I am missing from my home instance.

It is currently on the TP at 5999 gold. Which for me, is out of reach. It showed up a couple of times in the past couple of months.

Hey all,

I am actually surprised this hasn’t been brought up in recent times. Is there another way to get the Iron Ore Node for your home instance besides the BLTC? If I recall I do believe that the Iron Node was in a BLC for a bit when Guild Wars 2 launched. I would like to request that AN add the Node back to the BLC again and/or put it in the Gem store as a bundle with other Nodes? Much like the basic mining node package that was in the Gem store before. I would be very grateful if they did.

I love it, I think this might have to do with the Weaver coming into play with PoF. Perhaps a middle ground can be found. Have a toggle switch where you can turn it on or off pending on your preference.

“….For a good time, call 8-6-7-5-3-0-9”

Sorry couldn’t help it.

I have been dropped all day in PVE on the Lake Doric map. Major lag, game is not playable in its current state.

Personally I would like to see them used as a crafting material.

Greetings all. I am truly confused at the reason why the luminescent collection trinkets are not being sold at the vendors. Now, I do realize that you have to complete the Master Achievements to have them available at the vendors, but for what reason?

Once you receive them from the Master Achievements why would one want to buy them from the vendors? The stats on them are not at all worth the trouble you go through to get them in the first place. Also once you unlock the Luminescent Armor, every character on your account can be equipped with the armor. It doesn’t make any sense to have the trinkets locked behind hard to finish achievements.

I have tried to complete the Master Achievements but have failed many times. Enough times to where it gets very frustrating and I end up rage quitting for the day. In my opinion this is not fun at all. I guess what I am trying to say is that there should be an alternate way of receiving the trinkets besides completing the Mastery Achievements.

I wonder if we will get some kind of blog post about the Halloween event this year because it is after all, one week away today.

Really? They brought them back?

I just bought 2 sets of Halloween Minis and used one set to create the Chainsaw the Skeleton. He is so tiny! And the spider is even tinier where i can hardly see them, spider especially. Unless when it glows at night i can’t even see the spider at all.

I was wondering, as the title says, if you could at least double those 2 mini’s sizes. The normal skeleton is fine, but had i known the others would have been so small, i wouldn’t have wasted 1k gems on them tbh.

Plz, plz make them bigger! Thanks

How did you buy the two sets of Halloween Minis, from Halloween 2012? They are account bound.

I am calling it now. Legendry weapons will no longer be tradable on the TP.

Are there any plans to make the Dire Intricate Gossamer Insignia have a recipe that can be bought/discovered? It is ridiculous to rely on RGN to get this Insignia when you salvage exotic Dire armor. I know that I can outright buy the Insignia from the TP but that is not the point. I would think it would be better that we can actually craft this Insignia. Is there a reason why we can’t?

Interesting the picture on the left doesn’t have a WP visible but in the screenshot you just taken from the game as it is now, there is one. I really think they going to use WP system to spread.

If you watched the new entangled trailer you will see the vines are spreading throughout to other areas. Also now in the game the vines are touching the WP at the entrance of Dry Top. Whoever, or whatever is going to use the Waypoint System to spread out to other areas. That is why you see the same Giant from the town of Town of Nageling http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Champion_Giant in the recent trailer in Dry Top. Perhaps the vines are grabbing creatures from other areas and WP them to Dry Top.

I have an interesting theory on this:

If you watched the new entangled trailer you will see the vines are spreading throughout to other areas. The photo that you just posted confirms my theory. Whoever, or whatever is using the Waypoint System to spread out to other areas. That is why you see the same Giant from the town of Town of Nageling http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Champion_Giant in a desert region perhaps Dry Top. Perhaps the vines are grabbing creatures from other areas and WP them to Dry Top.

This pirate is looking at 50, and keeps on sailing. Remember…

I see what you did there! Great Song!

I am a Pirate Looking at 40!

A bit of Lore history: from the Wiki:

The Elder Dragons are unique to biological creatures in that they do not devour in a traditional sense, but rather feed on magic. Some, such as Zhaitan, can do this through specialized minions. Before awakening, at least three are known to have had to champions or other individuals aid in their rising (Primordus, Jormag, and Mordremoth), two of which cases is known to be feeding them magic (Jormag and Mordremoth). The Elder Dragons exude this magic they consumed while awake when dormant, making their places of hibernation magical hotspots, which was why the asura built the Central Transfer Chamber near Primordus (believing it to be a magical statue) and one of the reasons the human gods built Arah near Zhaitan (not knowing of the Elder Dragon). While awake, the Elder Dragons can actively exude unique draconic energies which causes individuals and landscapes touched by it to become corrupted into their minions (only known exception being sylvari born from the Pale Tree for unknown reasons, and Forgotten magic). Under Kudu, the Inquest have been studying these energies at the Thaumanova Reactor (before its explosion) and at its successor, the Infinite Coil Reactor.

So we have already defeated Zhaitan. Now, that we have an idea that maybe Mordremoth might be the next Elder Dragon that we fight. So, here is my question. What is going to happen to the magic in Tyria once we have put down all the Elder Dragons? The Elder Dragons bring balance to Tyria for better or worse but once we remove them for the delicate balancing act what will be the fate of Tyria?

As we are wrapping up LS- Season 1 in the next patch my thoughts have moved to look ahead. Do you think that the LS- Season 2 or at least at the beginning see the players cleansing Orr? Opinions

Our favorite mechanized marvel takes on a new title…

YO-LO-TRON!

Bravely throwing himself in the face of danger to rescue citizens because…YOLO!!!

(Not official…but should be )

You know it’s going to be named “Oh-No Tron”. You know it.

I think he will be named Hero-TRON. The name was “leaked” by one of the developers during the last developer video.

I am wondering what Queen Jennah is up to. Being that the Tower of Nightmares is pretty much in her backyard. I wouldn’t imagine her being complete oblivious to the fact that there is an illusory curtain that’s cloaking part of Viathan Lake. Did Queen Jennah send out Lady Kasmeer Meade to investigate? Will the Queen play a part in this storyline? What does everyone think?

I guess we can assume that this new condition is the reason the Krait in the below picture is glowing green? I hope that we can apply this condition to others as well.

Kinda wonder what the Krait have been messing around with to get contaminated with what looks like is nuclear waste.

Looking forward to this update. I know that we will get a Krait Obelisk Shard in our home instance but will this be a new crafting material also?

Edited for clarification: I am speaking of outside the home instance.

Are there any other recipes for the new Halloween Crafting materials besides for the Gift of Spiders, Gift of Souls, and the Gift of the Moon?

High-Quality Plastic Fangs
Tyria’s Best Nougat Centers
Gibbering Skulls

Just seems weird to have a candy corn node in your home instance without something to craft year round.

Any ideas on what new Halloween Weapons we are going to be crafting this year? Attached photo looks like a candelabra focus.

“What you just wrote is one of the most insanely idiotic things I’ve ever read. At no point in your rambling incoherent wall of text, were you close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul” -

In our home instance I wouldn’t mind like having a Mannequin to hang all of my armor on. A couple of weapon’s racks would be nice as well. Also to add to the personal story it would have been nice to have mural or a picture of me defeating Zhaitan.

I guess with the quartz crystals its a start to evolving your home instance.

Yeah, but are the Ascended weapons that drop from the PVE PVP WVW going to be the same ones that you craft?

Hey guys,

Just wondering if there are other Ascended weapons out in the world to descover other than the ones that we can now craft? Are there any “named” Ascended weapons IE: " Rox’s favorite chew toy". Since we have “named” Ascended trinkets and rings and things, it would only make sense that there are “named” weapons out there yet announced. What are your guys thoughts on that?

Sweet. Just makin’ sure.

Salvaging exotic items now produces Globs of Dark Matter.
Salvaging fine and masterwork items now produces Essence of Luck.
Salvaging Globs of Ectoplasm now produces Essence of Luck.

Where do we get Ecto’s from now? Will they still drop from salvaging Exotic items? The supply will eventually run out.

Advice to Senior Management – While AnetU and basecamp (training) is helpful, it is comparable to placing band-aids on a missing finger.

If you want us to design amazing material it will take a significant amount of time to execute without a clear breakdown of the project tasks. We either need additional time or people to complete tasks within designated times.

Get an integrated bug/portfolio project management software suite: Basecamp, Zoho projects, 5pm, or Huddle, or Clarizen.

Aside from the Art, Sound, and Customer Service departments most are departments very busy with high stress.
QA department has high turnovers and contractors which has led to documentation getting lost in the cracks.
HR is in desperate need for additional recruiting.
Marketing needs a way larger budget. Most of my friends or family never heard of a ArenaNet nor Guild Wars before I worked there.
Sound department is tiny. Practically a closet.
Stop outsourcing. It is a pain to fix.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
——————————————————————————————
This explains a lot! You should read all of them. Its an interesting read. For example:

Upper management should be more considerate with how they spend their money. Letting workers go because of budget reasons, then turning around and purchasing 10 flat screen tvs that barely anyone uses or rewarding workers who can barely pay their monthly bills with a $500 laser tag gun that they can only play with at work is a bit of a slap to the face. The environment is already fun and friendly. You don’t need to cut corners in worker salaries to buy toys for people who are already having a good time doing what they’re doing.

WTH?

I can’t believe he was laid off. What does this mean for Anet?

edited to correct grammar.

So, I guess only the Weaponsmith, Artificer, and Huntsman crafting disciplines caps will be raised this update. I was hoping the Jeweler would be raised.

I am sure glad I don’t have OCD because I know that the completionists are going to be pretty upset when they learn that their mini collection will never be complete.

I am not sure if anyone noticed but when Clockwork Chaos was first released the Twisted Watchwork Portal Device Recipe was different then what it is now. It seems that Anet quietly removed it from the release page and the Clockwork Chaos guide page as well. One crafting material of interest was Dark Matter that was required to create the portal, Did we get a glimpse of the future T7 items that will be used to craft the ascended equipment? What do you guys think?

Looking forward to another Super Adventure!

Sorry to burst your bubble but the Queen is not going to die. She is apart of the Human Personal Story. They can not and will not kill off a major character that effects the core storyline of GW2.

Kain Francois.4328:

Also they updated Arah NOT to be permanently closed anymore. It’s only closed during the event.

Have fun!

That is the problem. I would like to get into Arah but I can’t because of the Zerg is not completing the event.

For those who say that farming doesn’t hurt anyone, I have this to say especially when it comes down to doing the Meta event that opens up the gates of Arah. Currently there are several threads about farmers who are intentionally failing the “Secure the Pact staging area at Shank Anchorage” part of the Meta event in Orr to farm all the Champs that spawn during the event. Thus causing gates of Arah to be permanently closed and thus keeping players from finishing their personal stories, and or from getting Shards of Zhaitan for work towards thier Legendary. This is GAME BREAKING and needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

Anyone have an effective Elementalist build that can beat Liadri?

With all the exotic armor sets that are available it would be nice to have somewhere to store them that doesn’t really take up 6 slot inventory space.

You think guesting is unfair or wrong, just wait until the Special Events like Halloween, and Wintersday start.

or you can just buy them using the ugly tokens. Either way. Anet changed it so everyone can have oppertunity to have the minis.

Erm, you do know that you can buy the toy frames now from the vender for 250 ugly whatevers. The same vender in LA that you traded those for presents. So now you can get all the minis more or less.

It just seems like there is still a lot of time left for this event for this to be the end. So, I was wondering if there is anything else planned for the remaining time or is Toypocalypse the Main Event? I really hope something else is planned.

The only thing wrong with it is that you can only play songs that are in C major.

I can’t seem to find anything on Wintersday wooden weapons? I am not talking about the skins. Will there be any craftable weapons for this event?
