Well we do have some exciting rewards, such as dyes…..oh wait. >_>

You can get a unidentified dye. It’s not like a specific pink mob could drop a cool pink dye or a dark dungeon can drop some cool dark dye. So no we don’t. (Not a lot, there are a few)

Now that would be cool.

Haven’t dyes been removed from loot tables?

So many rights, yet, at the same time so many wrongs in this patch, it’s incredible.
There’s already a 30 page feedback thread on these changes, going for almost three weeks, yet, afaik, not a single concern has been addressed (from monetizing very important aspect of the game (which i have nothing against, IF done right) to the town clothes debacle).
And imo, even these 5 “free” charges, are kinda “insulting”, since they are well aware that 6 are needed for full set, but hey, why not try squeeze that last drop.

How generous >_>

Nice to see people STILL judge games by their art style and/or graphics.

/s

IIRC, two times, both while doing human ele personal story >_>
First time was in the throne room when you get gang…errr “attacked” by bunch of mobs
Second time was in Orr, where you had to defend some cannons (if i remember correctly) and as usual npcs just stood there (i believe Trahearne was there, so no wonder) and watched you “…burn”.

Both time, ended bare naked.

Awbee.8405:

Yes, that icon is a blue-pink-yellow bundle of joy and excitement. When I see one drop, my stomach makes a happy jolt

^^This

Was it really that hard to add separate “cosmetic” slots (like we have in the current system) for skins?
The more i think about all this the more i’m like “meh” tbh. :/

How fun >_>
Create character, get 100% in RS, delete character, rinse and repeat..
Is this really how this (or any other for that matter) game is supposed to be played?

I’m all for pay-to-unlock.
The system IS improvement over the current one we have, but it’s still “oops, i guess you’re out of charges again, tough luck”.
If it were pay-to-unlock i’d gladly, gradually, buy me some skins.

The whole thing reminds of :

Guess which one is ANet

Tbh, they’re very good at pointing out good side of their patches leaving the ugly for players to discover for themselves in game. Because of this i’ll just wait and see how this whole “transmutation charges” thing turns out (there’s always a catch).

/debbiedowner.

That “party” was everything but. Boring, bland, full okittenward pauses and out-of-place conversations…
After a few minutes i just left without getting the “reward” (obviously haven’t missed anything important).

LA is now Kessex Hills 2.0

ANetRNG™: “We guarantee lower to no chance”

Some posts make me feel like i’m in a twilight zone where “but you can buy it for less than 20$” type of “arguments” have become something normal. shudders

Another update and another set of weapon skins i won’t be getting.
Guess i should be satisfied with that 823462895th backpiece, better than shoulders, right?

Tbh, the entire thing is one HUGE money and time sink.
Ain’t nobody got time/money fo’ that, pfft.

I’d hate to be your LMB finger right now

I don’t see the point in the node pack (and steroids while we’re at it).
One can get that amount of ore and even more in 5 minutes or less using conventional means (shocking, right).
Soon people will be too lazy to even mine nodes in their instances so we’ll be getting the ore via mail system. -_-

Is there a reason why this recipe is account bound on acquire while Shadow of Grenth one isn’t?

(Search returned one result, btw)

What’s with the PvE players in WvW hate :/
I, myself am primarily a PvE player, but I also enjoyed the time spent doing some WvW even before S1 thing.

As for the rewards, just taking into account S1 took 7 weeks, rewards should be way better. Personally i didn’t go for the meta, and didn’t get the reward, but i understand frustration.

Probably none.
Making one asc. weapon made me go almost broke and i still haven’t finished it.
Besides, the set is too kitten ugly to even bother.

timmyf.1490:

I believe the main problem is that it creates a TERRIBLE first impression of the game for anybody who begins with a human character. (Which is the plurality choice.) Those champ train folks can get rather nasty in map chat.

^This
God forbid you attack or kill a champ before da train arrives, prepare your ascended flameshield.
Arguing is pointless.

AngelMouse.7345:

Thank you, Anet, for not mucking up Wintersday by adding Scarlet to Tixx’s Toypocalypse or the Workshop! It looks to me that everything from last year will return except the toymaker’s bag backpiece and possibly the random toy drops in maps.

Don’t get your hopes up just yet

Anyways, I can’t image the requirements for the ascended armor (given the weapon ones):/

The button was there a few weeks ago (IIRC), and it was working.
I remember because i was looking for the functionality the other day and, ofc, couldn’t find it. -_-

Behellagh.1468:

*I hate to say it but if everyone had one they wouldn’t be legendary. * Yes we are all, as individuals, are on our own hero’s journey but we also are playing in a shared world but an item that by label is “legendary” should be difficult to acquire. And to craft one, what you need above everything else is the precursor weapon so they made that difficult to find. Sure there’s an extremely rare chance they will drop from a major chest or from playing the mystic slots and some people are luckier than others which is why you can get one off the TP. Of course you and everyone else wants one and they are rare so expect to pay though the nose for it.

John already showed us a while back how many of a particular precursor sold in a single day. Problem is we don’t see them because they simply don’t last long enough to register on the TP. It’s posted and sold between the times that item was sampled by gw2spidy, gw2tp or gw2db.

And yet, you can buy one from TP. Very legendary indeed.

If everyone worked hard enough to get one, how would that make it any less legendary (at least on individual level)?

And thank you, good citizen.

I’m one of those “maybe i’ll need this later”

- Wardrobe
- Minis managements system (i just want to use my minis without running to a bank)
- Crafting UI needs some major overhaul (that list of craftable things is pure horror to go through)
- Sell from bank
- Applying dye directly on armor without those slots (or at least let it be optional)
- More filters in BLTC

That’s off the top of my head.

Did it once.
Now, i may or may not spend max 10€, and only when there’s some useful item in the BLTC

What’s the current price on those?
(I’m at work)

Soooo, buy 50€ worth of gems (~3x monthly subscriptions in other games) and get a mini?

How about NO.

I’ve been spending more and more time in WvW and though it gets repetitive, it’s way better and more fun than the laundry list LS has turned GW2 into.
I dunno, i’ve come to the point of contemplating hard before logging in, and that in my experience eventually leads to one thing, uninstall.

Maybe it’s me, but the game lost its “umph”.

Chrono.6928:

I’ve always wanted human cultural tier armor on my norn.

>_>

Maybe next time they’ll think twice before trying something like this. There are enough ugly in-game armor skins begging to be redesigned and they went for the Cultural one.
And this is why we need the wardrobe system of some sort.

Well, at least now they have enough material for the next, what, 3 updates: take T3 of each race, do some sparkly “stuff” (aka fire), and voila, ready to be sold.

Might as well remove those cultural vendors all together, and try your best to involve Scarlet in all that. -_-

It’s embarrassing to watch to say the least.
They really should turn to the, let’s say, Wildstar’s marketing team, and actually learn how to attract people.

First THE trailer, and now this. shivers

Wow, just….wow -_-

I wasn’t really surprised.
Yeah, i was like “wow” when i saw the Kessex Hills, but then I saw the “Laundry List” and the excitement wore off.
RNG skins are nothing new and I’ve learned to just ignore them. I’m all for convenience, but I’ll never buy any RNG crap they throw in our faces every “update”.

In any case, back to Pokemon X -_-

simonas.9037:

Downloading 0kb (0kb) everytime i start client. Cant update

Same here.
And this isn’t the first time this happens.

I now think the Candy Corn rewards are meant to be a long term reward. That’s why a home candy corn node is the meta reward.

At first I was against this thought, because honestly, they were not clear that the candy corn cobs were going to be attainable after the event, but even still, 10k chattering skulls etc? I have yet to get even 1!

I just got 12 skulls from the personalized trick-or-treat bag. You can buy them (bags) from the “ghost” or “pirate” quaggans in LA using candy corns.

Nevertheless, the quantity required is still crazy, but yeah…

Tbh, all these “gather gazillion of x to convert to y to buy z” “events” are getting out of control and i’m seriously thinking of moving on to another game. I’m all for working for rewards but this is getting/is ridiculous. :/

Then everyone and their mother would be creating overflows, which is, if you take size of the map into consideration, significant strain on server(s).

2nd time for Deso, a few minutes ago.

Edit:
My bad, it was actually an overflow server

Sorin.4310:

Josh Foreman already stated that the issue with doing this is a technical one. It was discussed somewhat in the long thread in this subforum (which I know would be a nightmare to look through, but it’s in there).

It seems to me that their engine is pretty limited in what it can do outside the regular game workflow. Not being able to implement bauble counter, save checkpoints, increase the height of that stone in w1z1 (the one before the bee-dog)…

Does this work in T mode?

No thank you.
Tribulation mode is worth much more than that balloon which, anyone who has done the QB, already got (not exactly the same one, but it’s a balloon).

I just want to thank ANet for fixing that last checkpoint cloud in W2-2.

/s

Now if you’ll excuse me, i’ll go and patent all the new swear words i made up during this hell ride.

-_-

swordbreaker.5189:

I got this one cloud that don’t trigger in W2 Z3.

Same here.

Elidath.5679:

Cotheer.2806:

AFAIK, w2-2, requires dodge-jump to get to the shortcut eagle.
I might be wrong, but that cloud is impossible to reach without it.

In infantile and NM, it doesn’t require dodge jump, though it does help. Didn’t try 2-2 TM yet so I can’t tell there.

Then i gotta try the normal jump tonight, but it always seemed a bit risky to do it.
