Guild Wars 2

Thanks guys! I can buy it in peace now lol

So I see stuff up on the BL trading thing like Mine-R-Tron and Thresher-Sickle 5000. I’d like to know, if because those say “any character” that means I can swap them around?

Like If I put it on character 1, and then I decide to play character 2, can I take it off character 1 to give it to character 2? Or does it bind to character 1 only? I remember a year ago or so, someone bought one of these things and it was character bound. I just want to make sure that if I buy it, I put it on the right toon if it does bind to the character instead of account.

Thanks!

There is only one Champion left in Queensdale.

AFAIK, the API in no way indicates when Champions spawn and the are NOT on a timer like the World Boss events, so that leaves player updated website as a possibility for input data for some utility like this.

Exactly who is going to miss killing the Champ by taking the time to update a website that they are UP? (and will be dead by the time the website is refreshed). Also, since MegaServer has removed dedicated Server zones, this would have to be tracked by IP address (takes additional time to ID, much less get to in game). Doubtful as to what you are asking for is even possible in a remotely useful state.

Actually, I saw an overlay that someone did that pulls all the data to a separate window where you can see all events that pop across the world map instead of having to be in the vicinity to see it on your map.

I’m looking for something like that, sadly that add on no longer works because the last update for it was over a year ago … I was just hoping someone knew something that was more recent and still works.

Anyone know a good API overlay or website that shows Event timers? I’m not talking about just the world bosses, but champions that pop up in each map section (IE: Queensdale etc). Everything I’ve found is over a year old and no longer works. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

its JUST a channel and not actually a party?!

You wont see 30 names on the side of your screen as in a party I’m sure of that, you might see the 30 dots on the map however I really can’t remember.

You don’t see the dots of people in your squad, just those of people in your party. It’s basically JUST a channel with a bit of added functionality that lets you put up some special waypoints.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Commander

So, you know how a party adds to the damage caused by a target for possible loot? Well, so then if its just a channel then anyone in your squad won’t add to that loot damage I’m assuming then right? The purpose I was looking for would be to like kill champion and not have to worry as much about doing that certain % in order to get loot… but what your saying makes it look like its just a glorified chat channel where someone can mark stuff on a map… If thats true then it seems like a waste of 100g.

It kinda is a waste indeed. But then again the price is just there to make sure not everyone puts up a tag. Imagine seeing your whole map painted blue because every single player is a commander :p

Anyway, people in your squad don’t add to “loot damage” like people in your party.

Thanks

Ah so you want to get 30 ppl in a squad then sit back and have them do all the killing for you while you afk? Nope that wont work.

obviously i have to hit something, the point is, sometimes theres way to many people at one point and the champion goes down so quick i cant get that % in to get loot, hence why its good in the first place to be in a party, you have a better % change of getting it, 30 people would be better, im not looking to sit around and let everyone kill stuff, i know I wouldnt get anything… but for the times when mobs health drops too fast, its good to have

I think it’s 25 people and making a squad only makes a separate chat channel I think. I am a commander but never really used one after trying once on my first day and seeing no one joined the squad channel. I guess very few people use this part of the feature because there is LITTLE information out there about it.

I would say it would be worth getting your commander icon if you do plan to do things with the community with it. You just may need to be vocal about the squad part of it tho and play around with it.

I’ve read that before but are squads essentially like a raid group? or are they more like an arena team, where people are still in it even if they’re offline.

So I know they can make quads up to 35 people but is this pvp only? Like lets say i wanted to pull 35 people into a party for clockwork chaos, is that doable? Not sure how this works and I’d hate to waste 100 gold on something I’m not sure I want.

On Tarnished Coast we do stuff like this…

We’re a random group of people having fun with the ‘box o fun’ and we couldn’t have timed it better if we tried.

Maybe someone can help me here…. I’ve studied the TP for a while now and I’ve looked for possible ways to make money and I’ve run out of ideas…

Problems with the economy….
1) Crafting actually makes you nothing, finished products will actually cost you MORE in ingredients then what you get back so there’s no point in crafting anything for profit. EX: I actually sat for a few hours and went through every single list of armor/chef/weaponsmith recipie to find SOMETHING that would be a profit… didnt find a single thing.

That means the trade post is backwards, ingredients is where I’d make my gold.. that means the only way I would actually make money is if I spent my time farming, over and over and over again which gets seriously old..

Seems like anything I could do to make money requires farming, either selling ingredients, farming dungeons for rewards, farming whatever event is currectly up.. farming.. farming.. farming…

I also looked into AH flipping, I did that for a while actually when the game first came out but now… nope, the stuff that actually sells cheap or gets collected quickly from requests are too close to actually net you a profit. Armor/Weapons won’t make you anything unless your talking about making legendaries, which wouldnt be something someone could do on a daily basis, thats more like a one shot in the park if you ask me.

I’m really tired of my exorbitant amount of time spent is farming, I seriously hate it.. i cant stand it… I’m looking for SOME alternative, and that doesnt include wasting real money either… I want to do something in game that I could craft, or make or flip or whatever to make some type of profit.

Its really depressing when I have to choose between farming and actually doing something fun. 1 days farming = around 5-10g, thats horrible

Anyone got any ideas?

Please add some type of section to the website where people can read what the developers are implementing, and what they’re working on! You have a suggestions forums but no way of actually seeing if our suggestions are being worked on!

Their only argument is join a guild. That would then force people to join large guilds just to get groups! What if people arnt on because its not “high population time”, or what if people just generally would rather do a closer small guild? Small guilds might not have people around your level on, or just enough in general… terrible idea to just leave it to guilds… some people dont like guilds at all.

People have been posting for this since the game first came out. At the time Anet had said they had no plans to add in a LFG system. GW2 was released aug 28th thats getting close to 3 months with nothing. I quit this game until they added a LFG system in because not everyone can play at high pop times just to sit around trying to find a group.

If anyone has any info about them starting one at least please post the info so I can follow up on it. Or Anet, get with the program.. this games going to die if people cant do anything in it.

Last night I got a good look at how no trinity doesn’t work. The whole point of what arena net said in the beginning is any group can go into a dungeon to get it done.. last night I went into CM explore and was rescuing the butler. We had 2 light armor and 3 medium, yeah Ive never died so many times in an instance before since we had no heavy armor. It had nothing to do with not playing your class… when you get into a room near the end you have 2 groups in front of it looks like 10 mobs, 2 being elite. (per group) When you pull 1 group you pull both. Also in the back theres 6 elite rangers, you pull 1 you get them all. In instances like this, I don’t see how a group of light armor people can get past that room at all. Because if you use arena nets theory, you should be able too.

If not then you go back to a “trinity” type groups looking for heavy armor people just to take the blunt force of the damage. This whole system doesnt look like its going to work. Either you have to have a trinity type or you need to please revamp the dungeons so its mechanics that let you move on not withstanding 6 elites vs 5 light armors…

Yes i agree, LFG must listing all dungeons and be cross server

Id actually rather not have this

You do realize LED that after a few “LFG —- w/e w/e w/e” your chats start to get blocked because the system recognizes it as “spam” so then what?…. Why should i have to hop around from map to map to map wasting money to see if people are around to group?! I would like to flag myself in Lions Arch for a dungeon and have someone in cursed shore see it… Why is that so much to ask for? I’m not suggesting some multiple que server thing, all I want is something easier than this (might as well be) non existent form of lfg system. Cause honestly lets use common sense, if I have to pop into a map and spam myself LFG why use the system at all? cause the only people that can see my flag are the ones reading my spam…

Its random, i could get it after posting 7 posts in a row, or 12 with nothing else up on the trade post. so i dont think its at a maximum

I dont know about IRC but to incorporate anything with links to the game I think you would need arena nets approval. The simplest solution I could think of that wouldnt be hard at all is to make a website with servers listed that link to their own chatroom. That would be extremely easy but the thing is, I’m not entirely sure people would use it.

I made a post before about the lfg system, sad thing is Arena Net has said theres nothing in the works about a LFG system. Which is super sad… I hope they change their minds and at least update the one they have to being server wide.

As much as I love the healing classes in other games, I seriously doubt they would implement a “healing” class. The basis of this game is to do away with the trinity. Adding a healing class would not only mess up pvp but it would also mess up pve. Dungeons would be a complete joke. I play ele, some times I feel like being a support and go deep into water with a staff, even then we do a lot better than other groups I’ve had but if they added a “heal” class it would turn completely turn the game upside down.. why stop there? People would complain to just add a tank class… then were back to the trinity.. and this is exactly what Arena Net was avoiding so I would say dont get your hopes up.

“Error attempting to sell” I get this ALL the time. Usually occurres when I’m selling a bunch of stuff. Still continues even if I go to change to a different item to sell. It seems to fix it self after about 5-10 min or if I relog. But when trying to throw up a bunch of items after your bags are full is highly irritating to consistently get this error.

I agree that the current system sucks, but I’m happy they have no intention of adding any kind of dungeon finder.

^This

Someone suggested the other day a dungeon lobby. I think this could work in Lion’s Arch by adding in an area that has mini-gates to each of the dungeons (that cave up top where all the inactive gates are could work).

Anet could add a gate inside the instance as to not disrupt the outside appearance. When you click on the portal from Lion’s Arch, you’ll go directly into the dungeon. Place the dungeon vendors around the gates and boom, you’ve got a place to find groups without adding a dungeon finder.

Love the idea they should do this!!

I read on a reddit/gw2 post that they quoted saying arena net has no other LFG system in the works… Why?! The looking for group system now is horrible. A) no one uses it and its local map ONLY?! Whats the point in using it if you have to sit outside the instance anyway to spam to get a group because you actually have to be where the instance is in order for anyone to see your looking for a group?!

I’m not suggesting a WoW lfg system but at LEAST something server wide would be nice so I dont have to waste all my money hopping around to see if theres any groups forming up.

Please reconsider and start something.. I love instances, its a break from the leveling process and right now its killing me to sit around for hours on end trying to get a group together for the mode I want.
