I’m pretty sure the trait system is more along the lines of a feature pack then expansion since it would affect the whole game.
Also I would like to know more about guild halls since I have been hoping for those.
Really it looks more like a Seer then Mursaat because of the body shape. Of course just got to wait and see.
I’m only going to say this once so listen up.
Commander tags are nothing more then a vanity item. You don’t need them to lead or offer any type of real leadership for events. It is only something people use so others can follow them no matter what. If you don’t then ok but stop trying to belittle someone who wanted it because you wanted someone “qualified” to lead you in wvw. If your not in a wvw guild then join one to improve your game life. If your sick of looking at commander tags in pve when they maybe doing guild missions to increase success rate then go somewhere else.
Three words: free to play.
That’s about it. Ive tried several other ftp mmos, but you are lvl capped, or have to pay to unlock content. Other than the first initial purchase, you can access all content without ever paying a dime. That and the art work. Simply breath taking.
Yea sadly it is really buy to play. Free to play means you pay nothing at all where as buy to play means you spend money that front but can then later pay or just play for free.
Best advice is wait about two weeks then try. Also remember doing the JPs is risky most of the time depending on what world you fight against because some are just plain bad about having campers.
If I’m going to guess from buying this game and spending money on everything else. It would come over to about $800+
Really I could not tell you because I don’t keep track of it to begin with.
You should check out executioner.
Not really going to happen for one good reason. Ncsoft wants money so to give free players the options to get gem was nice but it was only going to get to the point where it was going to be highly priced later on.
Really they have to make a down side to it so it would not ruin their way to get money from people who would or may never spend extra money on the game. So you farm or give money only choices.
Never going to happen and nor should it.
Why not? I mean, if you are going to comment against a suggestion, at least provide insight as to why.
One easy answer, as others have stated, is because everything can be acquired for free with gold traded for gems, allowing players to play absolutely free (minus the purchase of the original disc) if they so chose. While your way demands they pay at least a monthly fee.
I’m not going to argue with this person’s point just wanted to add that to buy gems with gold will go up. So be ready to pay crazy amounts for anything you want.
Bank slot is present but knight will not be in it
I can also confirm my watchknight is gone.
I have seen two which he did not.
-Two players being pulled into the arena at the same time
-Going inside but then getting kicked out as you enter.
I think the most important thing to remember is that due to the very nature of an mmo such as this, not all classes will have the same difficulty curve when facing new content. What is trivial or mentally stimulating to one could be a point a potent frustration for another. Requiring a player to switch classes to do content should not be supported. Challenging content is required and encouraged, but we’re currently getting too much of the same: instant-death punishing mechanics, lack of usefulness of pets/minions in the grand scheme, and over consideration for heavy armor classes.
You want challenging mechanics? Ok that’s fine, but we need to pay abundant attention to detail when we make a challenge. Things like being a norn or wearing a backpack skin and having to deal with a not so good camera issue isn’t tolerable anymore.
I agree with this mostly because it should have been geared as a challenge for everyone and taken into account any cons that could have ruin a player’s exp.

“And honestly, except a handful of JP, most of them don’t require a lot of coordination.”
When people come to the shop where I work & bring their broken PCs, I can answer them 70% of time: “Honestly, you do not need my services, you can do it yourselves, if you just search for right info on the Net, have patience and willing to waste bunch of your time”.
But I never say it because, being 40+ year old, I know that the time is the greatest currency in the world.
And yes, I do not buy a GAME to waste a bunch of my lifetime to do some exercises in masochism.You didn’t understand : most jumping puzzles aren’t puzzles at all. One of them don’t require any kind of jump and dozen of others have jumps that won’t kill you.
If Anet placed something at the end of the Branded Cavern, then maybe complaining about it would be okay.
And on 7 kites, 3 of them aren’t even in a JP and 1 of them is an incredibly easy JP. That leaves Spekk, which can be hard, and Iron Pig which isn’t as bad at it seems. Obsidian Sanctum entirely depends on what server you are on.
Your still missing the big point here but I can’t help you figure it out if your not willing. So enjoy the game until they mess up something you like which they will.
What exactly did they mess up ? Your achievement points ?
Are you missing out on a mission or an event ? Unable to obtain a skin you desire ? Changed they way you play ?
Nope the point your missing is they clearly put that JP would be optional however if most of the living story is going to add them then that means the whole thing is nothing more then optional. So I salute anet for wasting time and money of paying players.
He is right on one point. Anet said in the past that JP were optional for players. Now they are including them in most of the living story so right the best thing to do is is what night said. However I will say this right now don’t trust anet to keep anything they say.
Because the kites and the caches are really important to the living story ? I mean you really aren’t missing anything from not doing them. Except achievement points, which is approximately 500 points for all JP and achievements related to it.

Wanna know what else is optional?
Achievments.
That is true also but they did not go against their own words. The point is they can’t be trusted with keeping anything they say end of story.

While if they did that then the other dragons would have their minions attack.
Really the reward system is a question here for achievements. After all there is already one in place for daily and monthly what about the rest. Will it be in the form an achievement ladder you need to complete in order to get the reward or will it all be based off points which seems to favor the daily and monthly kind.
Also I’m just putting it here that I saw nothing for crafting and if ascended gear was suppose to be a weaker tier does that mean legendary will be stronger or be forced to have the same status as this new tier.
while i agree with some posts arguing against the living story and some arguing for it, i have to agree with the folks arguing for it. It’s a living story, the world is alive, stuff happens and the world moves on. Here is a real world example. You’re living in your town/city/whatever and there is a month of events coming up for the fourth of july. Parade’s, festivals, sports events, etc. However you have made plans to go to Europe for the month of July. So obviously you miss all the stuff that happened. When you come back you have to catch up and find out what you missed, in forms of story telling, people sharing memories, etc. Same thing applies here. If you miss some content, so what there is more coming every two weeks, I missed the flame and frost dungeon, but i asked about it in LA and heard some really great stories.
Also look at it from the business model, they have a game, that is almost one year old. An MMO needs people in it, hell any game needs people playing it. With this model, the feeling you are feeling right now, the feeling of possibly missing some content that you want to play, is exactly why they are doing it this way. In attempts to get you to log in daily, weekly, etc. and play their game.
At the end of the day, if you like playing the game, play it. If you don’t then don’t play it. Miss content? so what it’s not the end of the world and there is more coming in two weeks anyways.
Ok here is the big question then if they need to keep us logging in how many people have lost interest in a game they feel does not deliver?
Really my only problem with this is the two weeks. Don’t get me wrong I think every month would have been a better choice but I understand there are some people who just complete everything in the first few days. Still two weeks is a bad timeline for fixing any problem that may stop people from completing game play.
Really the living story is nothing more the dungeons or finding items for an achievement. My only real problem is that instead of taking a good long time to work on a story and let us enjoy some down time they kind pumping out events.
This is only my point of view so please understand I consider the living story nothing more then events. Mostly due to the fact it has nothing to do with us fighting a new elder dragon.
So after reaching 80 on two characters, I felt the need to wind back on the amount I played. It wasn’t because of burn out, it wasn’t because I didn’t like the game. It was because there’s nothing to do. Living Story are drips of content. That’s it. They add some sweet dungeons and then take them away. What fun is that? I was excited to see the new patch but that excitement wkittentered when I saw the dungeon was only available for a short time.
It’s not fun feeling like I have to rush through new content. It doesn’t add depth – they’re just more daily events.
Personally, I’m not spending anymore money on this game until permanent content is released. I can’t get into it now. The game feels so much more shallow than I had hoped it would be at nearly a year old.
I pretty much feel the same way would like more permanent content then anything else. That is not saying I don’t like the living story but when Dragon Bash was released I was already tired of it. Really after two hours of spending in lion’s arch I got off the game.
The sad part is that I just bought a computer to run the graphics on guilds wars now and this never ending story killed my drive to play the game much.
Forget this friend told me I spent them on minis.
About three days ago I used a game card to add gems and did not touch them. This morning I get on to find that my 1200 gems are gone.
I have an idea for the random minis and future events. I got the idea well buying the toy ones. Why not just sell them individual for 350 gems and have a special fourth mini that you need the other three for. That way A net is at least getting $30-35 depending on how much a person buys in gems for them.
That’s disappointing if it’s just mini pets. I was hopping it would be something interactive like a mini game in each city.
Really it makes sense for it to be a mini instead of an mini game. The overflow alone in that place would be a pain and cause complains to sky rocket.
Quaggan plushie if only it were real.
It is a great game just wish they would get ideas from players more about events before hand. Still it is good have not done any of the winterday stuff because my internet connection is a bit laggy. Still nice to see they kept up the great art work.
Well time will tell but I’m thankful for people not turning this topic into something like the others.
I suggest a Festive Trio Mini’s Box be released at the cost of 800 gems. Most people wanting the mini pets would very likely fork over 1600 gems total to obtain Festive Golem, Snowman, Infinirarium, and Foostivoo the Merry. They’d also more likely fork over the 1050 gems for the 3 mini pets that they couldn’t get from doing the Wintersday Events. This roughly translates to $35 in the pocket of ArenaNet per player wanting to collect all the holiday mini pets.
You’ll be glad to know that the Miniature Wintersday Trio exists and has existed since the 14th, they’ve just yet to add it to the store.
Yeah I’ll let you come to your conclusions about them silently letting people burn their gems while holding this back. Surely it’s not a cynical way to increase gem sales.
That skin for it looks like the same as Halloween trio.
That was my thought also which seems to indicate that this information may not be entirely true.
My guess is someone put it up just to annoy paying people and cause more problems.
Try looking at this, they would have had to have amazing foresight to fake up an item when the update went through.
Besides which, it’s in with other codes for other items with this update and sat right next to the Mini Infinirarium, on the tail end of the codes for the whole lot of “festive” non-toy pets.
Better communication is need about this then. I think that is what most everyone is trying to get at.
Well if it does come then good but if they do this then will the minis in the drops be taken out?

I’m not saying it is not a real item just saying it looks funny.

I’m starting to think perhaps this is the case…but I had really hoped we wouldn’t see this sort of implementation of things in holiday items as they are limited time. I’m fine with Black Lion Chests being RNG, that makes sense, they are a year round item. From my understanding people still buy keys for them and get boosters and such.
As one my post said earlier, stand to make more money when people are happy during festivals compared to when they are left with a bad taste in their mouth.
Yes while I read other topics dealing with the minis and it seems most non paying players don’t understand that even if A net has other games that do monthly payments they use most of that money for those games. Gw2 is mostly supported by people who keep spending money so they can add great events that they enjoy.

You do know that there is an achievement for minis right?
That toy minis and baby quaggan are not the problem. It is only the snowman, infinirarium, and golem minis that are making people who use cash upset.
Also if your someone who does not buy gems please stay out of this topic because it is purely to get Anet to at least think over the problem. Maybe even unbound the minis if they can for us paying people who give money to support the game.
I’m bring this back from the dead for anyone to give voice their disappoint in how this was handed. Now before you even post this is not to bash Anet just get across we want minis done differently for us paying players. (Note I’m not talking about anyone who does not pay for items in gem store.)
Look even I made a topic about the minis but Anet is more worried about events then paying players complaints on this problem. Maybe they will fix it later but right now they are trying to keep everyone happy and they still have their on Christmas or whatever to have with their families.
Well the three minis in question are only masterwork rarity not like the exotic mess they did last event.
Yumiko you put work into your Hall of Monument minis not waste money or gold that could be used for other stuff. All they really need to go is unbound three minis that is it.
Sorry for going off topic BKJ, Got a little to excited x)
Your fine I’m mostly talking to anyone using this topic to cry over them. I waste 125 dollars just for them but I’m not mad just mostly putting my voice that A net could have done better.
If anyone is going to read anything let it be this please.
The topic is only about giving the account bounds minis their own item like in Halloween or a little higher drop rate. (Someone else idea) If your not here to support it then place leave.
If they become trade able ill give out some of my spares for free lol… i only wanted 1 of each xD
Your like me then about minis
Aveinda Gw2 has no real trade system hope they can fix that one day.
Mkalafut making account bound minis into a lottery does not help. I may go kill some stuff now but still I can wish they look here and use the Halloween system on account bound minis in the future.
Also just to Clarify I bought 4 sets of 10 boxes (40 boxes total) and got 5 mini pets.. 1 of each and 2 duplicates. You guys need to not worry. It’s the first day of an over 2 week long event. These boxes drop in the world too and the majority of the event isn’t even in the game yet.
Lucky I opened about 13 sets and only got 2 minis but at least three duplicates of those. Right now I’m not happy with Arena net.
The events shouldn’t be about getting lucky and making a fortune off other players. Everyone can enjoy the holiday event without having 100+ gold to their name. Get used to it, myself and (what seems to be) a majority of the players like this change.
I’m not talking about getting rich at all but you seem to have misunderstood something here. Really the thread is about at least giving account bound minis their own item. If you thought differently just because of the title then I’m sorry.
Well I will say this and only this before I stop replying to this topic of mine.
Arena net next time you make special event minis for the gem store that are account bound. Please give them their own item and not throw then it with the other stuff.
