It would be nice if they increase it to 350%. It isn’t that high to throw the economy bonkers.
What would be realy nice is to make the steps from 300 to 301% etc. really incredibly high…so no 30k luck per % but…..300.000 luck or even a flat million per %. That would be high enough so that they never have to think about luck again in the next 20 years, and give us something with our excess luck to do. Also it is something not that easily maxable…..not that much influence on the ecconomy – so only a small amount of people would go crazy on the TP buying cheap salvageables….which may be not that bad at all…clearing out the useless stock there….

Worst Guild Wars 2 Map?

1: (by a mile) old LA. I totally hate the over-the top “city of Boats-lol-more boats-lol” look – the new one isn’t that great either but at least thematiccaly sound…..and less…boat-y – good riddance!
2: all Orr Maps (thank god for Frostgorge Sound if I wanted to go on lvl 80 maps) the moldy look made sense….but boy are the maps boring & tedious
3: SW so boring….even with “GOTHERELOADSOFSTUFF!!1!” mechanics
4: Bloodtide Coast, Caledon Forest, Groove (and Metrica) don’t like jungle all that much
5: new Kessex – at least gimme back the old loading screen please….

Oh…and I LOVE Lornar’s Pass! Huge maps are great. Lornar’s pass and Timberline Falls are topping my Top 5 Maps list. I have a ton of characters….the only map EVERY character has on 100% is Lornar’s Pass.
And cannot get on the Bandwagon for all the Draconis Mons hate. Not that i like it all that much but going counterclockwise trough it isn’t that terrible to navigate in comparison to Tangled cluster*ahem* Depths at all.

To each its own I guess…tastes are per definition different.

An Alt-O-Holic's Request

I can undersign this, I may have “just” 40 Slots (I threw everything at Gems the first months and went bagslot-/bankslot-/charslot-crazy) but still find they could increase caps.

Especially banktabs as nearly everything is Accbound.

I only have 40 characters on main account because I HAVE a second (and third) account. Upgraded old GW1 accounts to GW2 when GW2 was down to 10€. But it isn’t the same, as because of sharing stuff (acc bound/ masteries/ story progress / Skins /BLC Keys and Skins etc)…

Oh and please give us Ascended bags (22 slots) and Legendary Bags (25 Slots) with the new Expansion…..that would be ascended crafting and legendary crafting I would subscribe 101% too :-)

I like the stuff she wears…..but what is it exactly? My usual bad luck would say it is one of the few (but surprisingly good-looking) NPC-only Townfolks clothes I saw over the years.

Unfortunately this happened for me as well today and yesterday. As I was doing the event for the first time I thought I was doing something wrong but after watching some youtube videos I am positive – the event is bugged. The eggs cannot be used at all.

New player - Ultimate Edition

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Captain Prinny.6492

Captain Prinny.6492

Hi,

in my opinion the best value for money is: (from most important one to least important)

Bank Slots (max 14 (your standard one included)

Bag Slots of your main character (7 Bags max – your standard 4 bagslots+ Backpack already included)

Characterslots (9 if you want to have each class at least once represented)

Increase of Material Storage Size

Shared Inventory slots (current maximum is 14 your free slot included) buy in sets of 5 for reduced price

1 Silver-salvage and 1 Copper-Salvage Tool (like other posted already – put them into the shared inv. slots)

unbreakable/unending Salvage tools (down to personal choice and preference as some have some funny or distracting animations – also not really all that much needed because normal tools exists and are pretty cheap)

This list is in no way doable just with the gems included in the ultimate edition but it could be a primer.
Unending Salvage Tools and Gathering tools as well as shared inventory slots are pure luxury while the bank-, bag-, and storage-slots are very helpful for hunter&gatherers and altoholics :-)

Hope it helped a bit :-)

What do you Main and Why??

Warrior, because when the Game released I started a Elementalist and died my way trough lvl 30. Then I gave up and instead of L2P I went Warrior now it is Gunzerker Warrior ;-P

I finally leveled my Revenant last week to 80 and have all classes on 80 but still didn’t L2P so my Engineer, Necro Ranger and Thief are collecting dust ;-P

Funny when in all other games I prefer ranged / magic classes and here I am with Warrior, 2 Guardians a Revenant (oh and a Million Mesmers parked in JPs ;-P)

extracted runes in crafting?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Captain Prinny.6492

Captain Prinny.6492

I know that I can craft runes/sigils (those that has patch looking icon) and use them in crafting, but there is runes/sigils that comes from drops

Careful! Nomenclature malfunction here.

The “patch” things you mention are “Inscriptions” and “Insignias” for Weapons and Armors. They define the Prefix of the Item. They define the Item and Stats that cannot be changed once crafted

The “coins” you are mentioning are “Runes” and “Sigils” for Weapons. They define the flavour bonus effect of the weapon a.k.a. the Suffix. They can be overwritten with new runes/sigils (or in very rare cases extracted)

So “Political correct” Tin Foil Hat “of the obvious” would drop either an “Political Correct” Insignia or a “of the obvious” Rune, while salvaging the “Fluffy” Banhammer “of Stupidity” would drop either a “Fluffy Inscription” or a “of Stupidity” Sigil.

The most sensible, easiest solution will be a new option

[ ] Enable Full Skill Animation for my own Character only

Why not? We could turn on Hi-Rest textures for Charactermodels. So why not have the choice to opt in or out of the Visual Clutter on our side, which doesn’t influence others.

Best from two worlds….less Clutter for the one’s who need it, less ressources used (in principal)

If my System can stomach it then let me enable it.

The new Animations are Crap and seriously hamper my enjoyment of the game. Because visuals matter!

For example the Enchanted Map scraps. I’ve gotten 3 of them, all number 2. In a year and a half of playing. As far as I can tell I will never ever be able to complete this map.

You dear Sir need to get out a little more ….and do some JPs. Each Scrap is bound to Chests (mostly JP chests) one for each region. So try easy one, like:

Chest in Queensdale in Wolf Cave near the Crossing Waypoint — [&BPIAAAA=] (no JP) Counts for Kryta Map Scrap
“Under new management” JP quick&easy JP right at the portal to LA in Southsun cove

“Shaman’s Rookery” The JP in Wayfarer Foothills in Norn Start area. Counts for Shiverpeaks Map Scrap

“Morgan’s Spiral” The JP in Caledon Forest counting for Maguuma Map Scrap

any JP in Ascalon…. I like Craze’s Folly in Blazeridge Steppes or the Chest down at Rhendark (small chest outside gate)

You could also park an rather unused character at the chest and open the chest once a day until you get a scrap.

If you are one of the “Jumping Handicapped” so-to-speak and you are on an EU server whisper me ingame. I have a truckload of parked mesmers in the JPs (Mule, storage) which can port you to many JPs for this scraps. I am litteraly buried under tons of that scraps….I wish they would give 10 silver each ;-P

Edit:
Better whisper / mail “Dai Shi” which is character from my main account

64 bit beta today

Captain Prinny.6492

Possibly stupid question inbound:
I downloaded the 64 Client-Downloading .exe (from my Account Tab) and then ddoubleclicked it. It opened the GW2 launcher and started downloading a bazillion files. Let the PC do his stuff over night. Now its finished. Sooooo is it now on a different folder or did it overwrite my old one or save in that directory?
I didn’t get a prompt or anything asking me where to install or anything.

Note:
I am not interested in having both clients at the same time. I am just fine with the 64 bit one but where can I see if it is actually the 64 one and not the 32 one I start by using the Link on my desktop?

Captain Prinny.6492

Yeah, I will log in now and protest with all my shouts I have on my Elementalist!

I suppose we are completely ignoring the fact that the Overcharged Attunements that are a thing will lock you out of said attunement for x amount of time? That will very much change how the Elementalists is played, since you can just go around aimlessly changing attunements with that and so on.

People also love to throw around the word promise everywhere. I think people need to actually learn what it means.

Give this man a medal, he deserves it!

It is not a lie at all OP, and no broken promise. If your definition of “completely changing the way class X is played” needs to have so fundamental changes like “riding a unicorn over a rainbow while shooting lazorguns is the new way to play your ele” get lost. I am completely fine with the Elite Spec’s spicing things up a bit not changing eles into Storm Troopers dual-wielding Chainsaws or into a T-Rex with back equipped Catapults.

Please be a bit more resonable in your expectations. The more over-the-top the “fundamental” changed gameplay is for every class the more nightmare the game-balancing gets/development cycles get longer and longer, etc… And I rather play HoT 2015/16 than 2020…

If they manage to realease 2-3 other elite specs over the coming years THEN and only then I expect them to go all out crazy…but before they do that I rather wish for yet another overhaul of the spec system than them going banananas over “changing the way classes are to be played”

With regard to the blatant discrepancy between dungeon selling = ok, home instance selling = not ok, my position is that Gaile either misinterpreted the question, or the person she asked misinterpreted the question as the answer provided makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and can’t possibly be accurate.

They are the exact same thing, selling access to an instance, and thus must be treated the exact same way. Failure to do so results in an arbitrary rule system that instantly causes a loss of respect by those expected to follow it which, over time, triggers a complete breakdown of the player to developer dynamic.

This!
Pages and pages of discussion vcould have been cut short if Gaile or someone else makes it crystal clear what is and what isn’t allowed. I know the have tons of work and millions of post to read but that doesn’t mean that sometimes an more ellaborate answer isn’t worth it, hence I petition for a rewording/clarification/more detailed explanation of the red post regarding this.

Question: Why a level 18 exsotic

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Captain Prinny.6492

Captain Prinny.6492

It is 6 levels better than any gear you would find with req lvl 18.

Considering you can’t even get rares at that level, it is actually about 8-12 levels better than available gear, depending upon the weapon.

Ooops brainfart on my part. Sure you are right. Rares drop beginning with 39 (40?) and then my comment would be making more sense.

Anyway I find it a nice addition but they really, really drop seldom and are totally random. I have a 68ish Hammer and 50ish pistol and one 50ish staff.

Not much use to me as I am only leveling my second Guardian and maybe with HoT finally a Necro ( the only class not leveled to 80 on my acc)

Aside from that I have some mules which are also mesmers and parked in JP for Silver Doublon Chestfarming (lol). I gave them the most kitten armor ever, the lvl 18 crafted leveleling gear Homespun Armor. Which not only makes them the most kitten looking JP Twinks if they ever get attacked they would most handsomely kill their attackers with ease ;-P

Long story short this additions help a lot but are not communicated all too well so players know there is craftable levelling gear + the weapon drops.

Because this looks better than 90% of all other light armor skins available in my opinion. I hope with HoT I finally get more choices for light armors to my liking which are not over-sexualized pole-dancing attires or
Frilly Garments of Frillyiness…sometimes simple beats overcomplex textures (them ascended (heavy) armorskins…yuk)

  • Advertising an access portal is not allowed.

Does that include selling dungeons, jumping puzzles, etc.?
And what if you port for free and accept donations?

So whats the final ruling on this ANET?

Gaile’s last post wasn’t clear cut enough. As this question popped up right away and was discussed at length back and forth but no official response or comment.

I as well want to know:

Advertising a “FREE home instance farm” via LFG-tool infraction worthy?
Advertising a “FREE home instance farm” via Map chat (which I find more offending) infraction worthy?

I could argue as well all that if dungeon path and JP-Portal selling is tolerated, why not this as well because there is no explicitly stated policy on them either.

If this is stickied then at least make it perfectly clear whats your stance on that.

+ Vote for Edit on OP for more clarity
