Guild Wars 2

I just wish I could get the glove skin on all my characters, not just 1

The mist implementation doesn’t bother me. I got really upset last year with large character models blocking my view. I still managed to beat it, and after that it became rather easy. I actually feel like I need to apologize to those oversized norn and charr I verbally sparred with last year >.< but I have no idea what their names were.

Still, 3 different skins and only able to get 1

I was upset by this at first, but you can still get exotic rabid gear from karma and wvw.

Getting Mini Liadri felt like a HUGE achievement, it was as if I felt like a better player after getting it.

Beating tequatl felt like “I finally got into a good overflow, because my main server seems to be full of afk trolls… and this loot sucks.”

I’m not against open world raid bosses like this, but add a sanctum sprint afk kicking when the boss spawns. I hate seeing 20+ afkers near the turrets for the whole fight (dead of course).

where do you get the recipe?

I would REALLY like it if I could put a person on my ignore list, and get this NOT hear anything from them.

If you want to play a game that you don’t have to fight to get things, this may not be the game for you.

darkace.8925:

I’ll remember you said that the next time someone levels an alt from 1 to 80 without stepping away from the crafting stations.

Yeah… with a main character that already had to fight to get the mats. I love how your logic is so Keen.

darkace.8925:

Nice of you to suggest that rare crafting materials should be gathered from nodes, but we’re comparing common crafting materials to common crafting materials. I take this logical fallacy to indicate that you’re all out of things to say.

Hey, fair is fair. Allow me to node gather common, someone will complain about the rares. Just covering bases.

Corth.7069:

Perhaps the developers dont let us node farm cloth because it was a choice that they saw might have hurt the economy.

darkace.8925:

You’re not an economist, you just play one on the internet? Pray tell, Mr./Mrs. Economist, how would harvesting leather and cloth hurt the economy? I’m ALL ears for this one.

Oh dear, someone missed the ‘Perhaps’ at the beginning of the sentence, tisk tisk. I never said I was an economist either, stop pulling words out of my mouth that were never there to begin with. It was speculation, but I see now where I went wrong. Speculation on my part, makes me an internet expert in your eyes.

Corth.7069:

Or maybe, it just wasn’t as fun mining nodes all the time.

darkace.8925:

Or maybe, just maybe, ArenaNet has taken every measure to allow players to decide for themselves what is and is not fun. If you find farming metal scraps and heavy armor for salvage fun, they’ve allowed you to do that. If I find running a zone for ore nodes so I can actually spend my time crafting fun, then they’ve allowed me to do that. Leather and cloth crafters don’t have the luxury of that decision.

What I find fun, is playing the game. What I find -not- fun, is your logic.

darkace.8925:

means of obtaining metal
– harvest from ore nodes
– salvage from metal scraps
– salvage from heavy armor
– salvage from melee weapons

means of obtaining leather/cloth
– salvage from leather/cloth scraps
– salvage from medium/light armor

You’re right, there’s no disparity at all. Oh, wait! I just learned to count. This newly acquired skill has allowed me to see that there is indeed a disparity. Hmm, well how do you like that?

I am SO glad you finally learned to count, that is a great skill and will take you a little further than where you are now. So lets take a look at things with your new skill of COUNTING

Metal uses:
-Armor
-Weapons
-Sigils/Runes
-Jeweler

Cloth/leather uses:
-Armor
-Runes

huh, imagine that, more uses for metal.

‘defending the indefensible’ I never really saw any need to defend anything that wasn’t broken, but I see alot of QQ in this thread.

Just because you have to FIGHT in a GAME to gather materials, rather than run from node to node to gather them, doesn’t make it an unjust evil that needs fixing. The mats still get created out of nothing, so there will always be more. If you want to play a game that you don’t have to fight to get things, this may not be the game for you. Where are the cows and goats that I can milk, and alternatively churn the milk to butter? Where are the arcane blood wells that I can node farm to get powerful blood? Where are the obese skales that can’t defend themselves while I take their armored skales, but leave alive so they grow new ones? Perhaps the developers dont let us node farm cloth because it was a choice that they saw might have hurt the economy. Or maybe, it just wasn’t as fun mining nodes all the time.

Just because it’s not easily accessible, doesn’t mean it’s not fair, it just means you have to work for it.

That’s like saying “I’m level 80, where’s my legendary?!” but to a lesser extent. It’s in the game, it’s available, so go get it!

You quoted my last sentence, did you read it? because there’s the work-around. The game gives you currency, use it, maybe?

I dunno…
I reliably get cloth when I salvage light armor.
I reliably get leather when I salvage medium armor.
I reliably get metal when I salvage heavy armor.

Sure, metal is in more abundance, but sell it to buy some cloth. Why are you kittening when this IS NOT A PROBLEM. You can get these items in game. Farm queensdale if you want jute that’s not bought off the tp, farm in area’s with the relevant level compared to the material you want.

If your having trouble with RNG and getting gossamer, mine some orichalcum, sell it and buy the gossamer.

I didn’t know this was a bug, I thought I just had horrible luck. Pretty sure I had my last blc drop 3 items, though it may have been a copper. Was there a problem with the wintersday boxes as well? I bought a ten pack and got 2 items out of half of them.

I unfortunately used up a toy frame to make a mini that I would have loved to make a tonic for, I really hope we can get another frame.

Only A.net can make getting ugly sweaters in abundance fun, but getting the toy you wanted make you feel like you’ve missed out on something

Don’t get me wrong, still loving wintersday, just hoping they spread holiday cheer and give us a chance at a second frame!

it’s just slow, I finally got my kit. All that worry put at ease

I just tried buying the makeover kit with gems, and it shows in my history but I got nothing in the mail, or for pickup
