Guild Wars 2

Wear white gear. There, challenge mode engaged!

Well, I assumed that it would be removed with today’s patch. Which it was.

It said it was going to be removed soon yesterday.

Yeah, they did. If you look, there’s a bunch of wintersday presences on the TP. I was wondering why those existed so quickly. Now we know.

So, those of us who already did it get nothing, because we’ve already completed it?

A pitch slider would be an interesting way to change the experience. I think they’d have to have it be local only, so if I say something, I’d hear it pitched changed, but if it’s a shout other people hear, I’d hear it pitch changed, but they’d hear it in normal human/etc voice.

The best advice I have to stop leeching is to make it so that each event gives loot, but instead of a bouncy box, it spawns a chest, the way world bosses do. So to get your loot, you have to stay till the event’s over to get your loot. This would seriously reduce tag and run, I think.

Here’s all you need to know: I get more rewards from FAILING a toxic shoot event than I do from WINNING the Moremob invasion. That at least gives me xp, and coin. I get nothing from modremob events.

I just fixed tagging and running: Rewards are given per event, but in a chest that spawns. If you don’t loot the chest, you don’t get the rewards. There, fixed.

You can’t do a patch to increase the rewards, or to decrease the cost of the items for sale? I think that would do a lot to make players happier with the event.

In the future, while I understand why you don’t want mobs to drop loot, I do think they should give XP, and events should give karma, xp, and coin. And possibly, make it so that the waypoints are cheaper to use. You could even justify it in game by saying that the ausrans are being forced by the pact to allow waypoint usage for free for the duration of the event. This may not be applicable for other events, but I think mobs giving xp, and finishing events giving karma, exp, and coin is.

He said that their line of sight calculations are too forgiving. What they did today is that they use line of sight. In another patch, they’ll restrict that line of sight so it doesn’t fire at stuff that it shouldn’t be able to.

Templar.3418:

It’s so you buy $20 worth of gems instead of $10.

I kittening hate cash shops.

Or you can buy 800 gems, and buy the other 200 gems with gold? Like I would.

You have a lot of choices. You won’t have to worry about duplicating unless you have a LOT of alts. Like….maybe 30+

There aren’t a huge number of people that are 3 years old, tho.

How about, if possible, another option for whispers from people on map, so that way if you want to help someone, they can whisper you, but only if they’re on the same map as you. As for if someone has me as friends, but I don’t have them as a friend, and I have “friends only” they can’t whisper me. I think extending it to mail might be a bad idea. I don’t get a lot of gold seller spam in my mail, so I don’t think that’s necessary, plus sometimes I mail people small amounts of gold to thank them for helping me and if they had it set up for friends only, I couldn’t do that.

Just had a guy who insisted on picking up the hammer in Cliffside, and couldn’t hit the seal to save his life. Then I told him, after the third time he screwed up that he couldn’t hold it, and he got kitteny, then he and his friends ended up kicking me. I ended up reporting them.

I think it’s pretty clear what it means.

Dude, you get a benefit from having max luck: you have max luck. Why should you then get another benefit from having max luck?

You have 7.55 million luck, just in exotics. That’s enough to max out one person from 0 and to get another person up to 273% mf. How much salvaging do you do, and how many mice have you gone through?

How do you get 137 legendary lucks, since you can’t craft them?

You do get to keep what you make this time for beta weekend 2, however, you don’t get to keep anything from betas in your permanent accounts. As for spending an hour to make a beta character, that seems a bit over the top.

It’s a visual bug. They’re all still there. This has been verified by people logging into alts and having everything show up. I did it myself. Main: everything locked. One of my alts: everything unlocked. Of course you can’t chose them, one part of the game isn’t telling another part of the game that you have them. But you do.

It’s only a spoiler because you know what it means. Hinting at something, and then revealing it fully in the course of a narrative IS NOT a spoiler. My favorite manga ever showed a scene in volume 1 that eventually ended up being shown fully in volume 24. Was that a spoiler? No.

Didn’t you check? This is why people complain about anet’s QA, gaile. Stuff like this, that should’ve been found. Now you have people in LA panicking about their achievements, and traits, and stuff. You need to do an announcement in game about this, NOT just on the forums.

I wasn’t even affected by the HoM bug, and I got all my collections reset. Thanks, anet. Quality QA. All of my completed pvp tracks are cleared, thanks for that, I wanted to keep those completed after I was inished them with. The glorious reward track, which I was working on, I lost all my completion on that. I DID lost all the completion on the ascalon reward track, which I was also working on. ALL the dungeons I HAD unlocked are now locked. THis is completely worthless.

ETA:

Okay, it took 4 alts, but all of my displays are back to normal, at least on ONE alt. NOT my main, or who knows what others.

In Tyria, bouncy axes and arrows are okay, but bouncy bullets are just dumb.

Yeah, it’s looking that way.

I’m leveling up a bunch of alts, and I find myself not caring about traits. The NPE (yes, I know traits aren’t technically part of it, I don’t care, make your own thread) was around of so long and most of the traits to hard to get that I just ignored traits. Now that they’re easy, relatively (not as easy as it once was, but infinitely better than the NPE), I still don’t bother with traits. The NPE taught me to ignore traits till I was level 80. Even with the 1 alt I got to level 80 before the june feature patch, I just bought the traits I wanted, rather than then try to complete the events, then I just ignored traits again. Anyone else feel this way?

Donari.5237:

Suggestion: Have a cinematic recap of Season One to explain the story, and a PS page in the Hero Panel that summarizes the events that happened in LS1. When someone completes the post-Arah victory party, give them an option — a very noticeable one, perhaps via mail, perhaps via a reward object that plays the cinematic when used (in which case also have an NPC somewhere who plays it, to avoid inventory clogging) — an option to view the cinematic.

That brings them up to speed as to what happened to lead to LS2 Chapter 1. Then there can be a clear note (in the mail? in a popup saying “you are now in LS2, and need to unlock chapters xyz to play them unless you join another player’s instance”?) to tell them what the next sequence of story involves.

Wow, I wrote that in a convoluted way. Short form: Until we have LS1 playable again, use a cinematic to inform players of the story bridging from Zhaitan to the biconics (along with a written summary in the PS panel), then direct them to how to access LS2 in the correct order.

I’ve long since said that LS1 should be released as cinematic chapters. Ie: you play, let’s say, the tower of nightmares chapter, and it takes you through what happened via a cinematic, rather than forcing anet to worry about instances, and scaling, etc, etc. That way people would know what’s going on. of course, they could also go to youtube, but I do understand the desire for everything to be in game.

I just wanted one teq hoard. never got one in over 300 tries. May never get one now.

The funny thing is, silverwastes gives far better rewards than teq ever could, and it is pretty much face roll easy. Remember kids: when people say they want challenging content, they want content that’s challenging for other people. That way they can lord the face that THEY won over people who didn’t. (there’s a reason aetherpath is mostly ignored. It’s too hard for even the most hardcore people, and the reward isn’t account bound. So there’s no glory in it.)

UnawarePolarBear.9502:

The whining has hit all time highs.

I for one think trying these crazy ideas is a good thing – we’re presumably a few months away from Heart of Thorns, and the balance needs to be perfected by then. Let them do crazy things.

Missing out on a few Tequatl kills, and then throwing ArenaNet to the wolves because you’re not able to burn his crazy amounts of health just seems stupid.

So, total failure to kill teq=perfect balance? Gotcha.

Arnath.2319:

Creating a guild that is “pro-heterosexuality” is offensive and against the rules, it would be like creating a guild that was “pro-white”.

Hypocrisy at its finest!

How is it hypocrisy for one person to say something’s against the rules, and then a completely different person breaks the rules? And no one’s told you that you can’t make a pro heterosexual guild, at least no one from anet, so how is it hypocrisy?

I’ve seen some explicitly Christian guilds advertising in game. WWJD, for one. I have to assume they’re pro-heterosexual. Nice try, tho.

10 minutes to kill shadow. I’m having way more fun now. Thanks anet!

Proof? Don’t have any? I thought so.

Guess I’m done with teq. All I wanted was a hoard. Never got one. Thanks anet.

Yep, failed. Thanks anet.

I think doubling his health was a bad idea. Typical anet hamfisted approach to fixing things.

12 minutes to get to 75%. Guess teq event is dead. Thanks for never giving me a teq hoard in over 300 tries, anet.

See, anet’s idea of balance is this: Ricochet? too op, has to go. 8k burning damage per tick and stacking quickness? Totes cool and not op at all.

I think this is great, and I commend anet for including a trans character in game. Also, for having our character, AND the lionsguard they talk to be so cool with it.

I switched to an alt, and it worked. Sorry for the drama

Okay. Let’s talk. AAA games like Order: 1884, and others have less than 20 hours of content, yet cost 60 dollars. But, I hear you screaming, ‘I can return it to gamestop for money when I’m done!" Fine, total cost 30 dollars. So, HoT has to have more than 40 hours of content to be a good deal, right? 40 hours=20 times 2. 30 times 2=60. HoT=50. But HoT has to have more than 40 hours of content. So 50 dollars doesn’t seem like that bad a deal, if you put it into perspective. I’ve played this game A LOT. I’ve gotten my money’s worth. I think anet would be wise to add a free character slot to the 50 dollar option, tho.

So, what do we get from leveling? Nothing?

You’ll be leveling masteries after 80. Instead of getting a skill point which is basically used for gold or crafting (and you’ll get that currency in other ways now), you’ll be progression your character through masteries.

No, read what Gaile said, and what I said. She said HoT will introduce masteries. After Tuesday, you won’t get skill points from leveling. What do we get for leveling between Tuesday, and the release of HoT?

So, what do we get from leveling? Nothing?

It’s an account bound ascended weapon. I got more of those doing pvp. Why is anet so kitten stingy with teq horde drops? I just want one horde, is that so much to ask?

I’ve done teq over 300 times. Haven’t gotten a horde. A guildie of mine does it twice, gets 1. My alt does it less than 50 times, gets one. Why does this game hate me so much?

Taken from the HoT Beta FAQ:

Why didn’t I get in to the beta?

Our first beta test used a very small group of players chosen at random from people who subscribe to our newsletter. Our current test uses this method as well as the “Portal to the Heart of Maguuma,” an in-game item which had a chance to drop from enemies in Dry Top and the Silverwastes. Players who found this item are guaranteed a spot in the current closed beta test! Signing up for the newsletter is not required to access the beta test if you received one of these items. However, to get beta schedules, instructions on how to access the test, or any other beta-related information, you still need to sign up for the newsletter. Make sure you sign up using the same e-mail address that you use for your game account.

You must not’ve read the op’s post, because he SAID he got the portal drop.

The trait change is coming before HoT. The specializations are not.

They’re not insulting him for his religious beliefs, they’re insulting him because he tried to kill them by giving them almost hatched wyvern eggs, which hatched, and tried to burn down their village, simply so he could try to force them to follow his god. There’s a difference.
