Guild Wars 2

so a little while back the wallet feature was introduced. claiming to consolidate the ridiculous number of currencies in gw2 into 1 account bound place.

the glaring problem with this is that anet (for some reason) splits in game currency into 2 categories.

currency (19 of them), which are stored/displayed in the wallet, hero or guild pannels.

and

tokens (5 permanent and 19 tied to living world, some of which are unusable for 12 month periods such as wintersday, halloween and dragon bash tokens).

it strikes me as very odd that less than half the currencies in game appear in the wallet, many of which (although not useable at this time) may be useful in the future.

i bring this up because we know from experience that almost every living world patch comes with a new currency and we also know that said currency always takes inventory space rather than going in the wallet.

considering we now know every future living world patch will be permanent and also (can assume) every living world patch brings a new currency we can estimate the total number of currencies not covered by the wallet to be somewhere around 50 by the end of season 2.

so if we continue as we’re going a new player starting to play the game at the end of season 2 (considering all of s2 is replayable/avalible to them) they would be looking at having around 25 slots of bank/inv taken just by currency.

tldr.

WHY DO TOKENS NOT GO IN THE WALLET ANET!?!?!?!!!111!!!111one!!!

i play wvw to try and get my last 2 poi’s and 1 vista for kittenin world completion

so. my fps in gw2 is +60 fps at all times (outside of wvw). my internet connection averages 50mbps (not a typo i realy do have a 50meg connection.) yet in wvw i have around a 4 second lag on my skills at all times (even when im not with the zerg there is very bad skill lag.). what gives anet, i que for 2 hours to get a crazy lag fest and its obvious the lag is on your end not mine. SORT YOUR KITTEN NETWORKING OUT!…. kitten . just hire 1! (kitten 1!) professional network engineer ….. you obviously dont have any (pro) network engineers atm or you would have everything on hold while said network engineers sorted your kitten game out!.

the only thing i look for in a recruitment thread in the WvW subforums is guilds that will help me overcome the fact that my world is always blue team and the last 1% of my world completion has been held by green team for the last god knows how many months…. i do not think im a minority when it comes to my interest in wvw and my interest in not having to transfer to finish my world map…..

so. SAB. its awesome, i feel its a brilliant game to a standard where (separate from gw2) i would buy it.

and thats the problem.

if SAB was a standalone game i would buy it and play it and it would be epic. but as the case may be its part of the living story(aka the “lets make something cool then throw it in the bin 2 weeks later” story). this means that this amazing 3d platformer with difficulty settings that put it on par with the great “i want to be the guy” is only available for a limited amount of time whenever a new world comes out….

does anyone know of a lore reason why the SAB comes and goes? at first it was an entertainment machine, second time around its an educational machine for young asura. in both instances i couldn’t see any lore reason for it to disappear between expansions…

does anyone know of a reason in lore that SAB is only available for limited times?

ele deals most dps in pve.

use lightning hammer and fgs.

Well, some ppl (me included) like to play an Elementalist, not a squishy hammer warrior, you know? We have chosen the class for it’s mechanics, not for one-button-pushing like 100B warriors do….

gj, you didnt want to play a wirrior so instead you rolled an even squishier warrior that has to summon its weapons before using them. kitten.

Actually, that’s not very effective. I have posted that in MAP chat many times. Screamed that Tequatl is up (complete with Waypoint). Tried organizing. Tried prevailing to the Commanders who bother to show up. Our server is pretty casual, and you could see signs by the second day that people were just giving up. Even bringing back a visual and audible cue will be no help, as it didn’t help while we had it in the first place. The event needs to take a new direction of some kind that gives casual groups a reason to believe they can succeed again. Otherwise it will remain an anti-black hole on our map, pushing everyone away.

why would you go back? i mean, if you got your living world achive and finished all the tequatl boss achives in that first 2 weeks (wich i think most people who care about living world stuff did) there 0 reason to go back…. it will be the same with the new TA path. once you got the achives theres nothing there to make you back.

Last week they said Jack of all trades, this week they said support class. When are you going to get it? They just want to nerf you. Then they want to nerf you again. They don’t want you to play the class. Elementalists are dead.

well when you think about it “jack or all trades” is just another way of saying “not very good at anything”….

tbh i was glad every time i failed a story mission… so many of then a so easy there may aswell be a “skip me” button at the start…. the “hard” missions only seemed hard until i learned how to beat them. but that was rewarding, i felt id actualy done “somthing”. rather than the mindless semi afk buttonmash that the rest of the story missions are…

this shouldn’t be a topic, this should be part of the consolidated “everyone hates trahearne” thread… everything OP has talked about is a problem with trahearne and not a general personal story problem……

trahearne is the absolute biggest wet towel/kitten/useless POS main character in any game iv ever played. he is simply written to be as utterly boring and useless as possible. every decision he makes (that you cant make for him) is ether utterly kittened or seriously flawed. and every time you decide for him he steals all the glory in a upper class snobby (i want to punch trahearne in the mouth every time he opens his stupid gob) sort of way…

in combat he’s worse than useless, iv found more than once that its actualy easier/quicker to let him die so i can properly aoe stuff and then res him after. than have him “try” and help. he’s more squishy than a player in a full glass cannon build yet does less damage than a player in a full bunker build…

2ldr

trahearne is worse than useless…

if it was up to me. after the last current story mission is complete. there would be a mission where you kidnap trahearne and lock him in a dungeon, so that when ever the player feels frustrated with anything in game or irl they can go punch him in his stupid tree hugging face… instant relaxation….

the RNG on what comes out of a chest and then what you get from salvage seems very biased towards getting tokens, orbs and powder to me, iv tryed bronze silver and gold for decent amount of time each and there seems to be no real differnce between them. im lvl 13 so far and iv only had 2 crystals and 1 silver. wich sucks alot since orb gear (atleast in r1/10 r10/20) looks like lvl 20 pve gear… =[

this game has no esport/cash rewards. anyone who thinks theyre pro need to learn the deffinition of pro…..

iv always found in other mmo’s sticking mostly to one class can lead to you playing that class quite well. but if you want to play realy well its best to know what and how every other class does what they do… and the only real way to do that is play said classes.
