One thing that occurred to me, the gem store infinite tools cost 1,000 gems and this is fixed. That is roughly about $15 dollars. If you were to build a custom infinite dungeon tool that cost over four or more hundred gold (exchange says 800 gems is roughly 150 gold at time of post) wouldn’t most people prefer to shell out for the cheaper tools instead of building their own infinite tool?
10 gold for a Gift of whatever, another 10 for a gift of Metal, then a Gift of Mining, Lumberworking, or Foraging requiring rare materials (Charged Lodestones that are used in the Spirit Weapons cost 3g apiece) and an Orichalcum tool or a tool you buy from the dungeon vendor for X tokens to convert into an infinite tool, wouldn’t you be spending more for a dungeon tool than a regular tool? So Cheaper tools from Gem Store or more expensive but cool dungeon related tools that you can craft yourself, dunno about you but it sounds like something to do besides craft a legendary.
Mystic Salvage Kits are convenience items, should they be delegated to the gem store as well?
I mean to use Tier-6 materials, Gifts of (Insert Dungeon Here). I would think people would be quite annoyed if they had to remake an item that used stacks of Tier 6 materials.
People can already grind for gold in order to purchase what is already available on the gem store, so why not an alternative method of acquiring these?
I realize this may be a bad idea due to it potentially cutting into the gem store profits. We have a few potential options for dungeon tokens at the moment: the weapons, armors, runes, and potions. I would like to propose dungeon specific infinite harvesting tools that could be acquired based on a gift from the various dungeons and various other items, similar to crafting legendary weapons or the ghostly weapon set or Mjolnir.
For example, Ascalonian Catacombs could have an infinite salvage tool set that is ghostly in appearance and generates a bluish flame of some sort when you use it. Twilight Arbor would get something that is similar to the Dreamcleaver Logging Axe.
I experienced this too, I still have the Chapter 8 missing from my Story Journal, does anyone know if we can still do the final Personal Story Victory or Death?
I had this same issue, I played through the same Lighthouse arc steps on my Charr Engineer (post-patch) in the same order they’ve always been presented in pre-patch then last night when I took my Asuran Elementalist in while doing the Tank arc, it skipped straight to Victory or Death.
I posted that here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Personal-Story-Skips-Arc/first#post4413520
After I did “The Steel Tide”, my personal Story skipped straight to “Victory or Death” instead of “Against the Corruption”. Is this a bug or due to the new condensed storylines? This char is a level 80 Asuran Elementalist: VAL-A Golem, Mistress Zinga, Water Attunement Gem, and Statics college if that helps.
On the contrary, it may have been that the AI was not programmed for underwater combat. While Xolotl was on the same level, as my character in the water, it attacked me but once I sank it with Weight of Justice, the number 5 trident skill, it quit attacking.
In which case, that would be by design since underwater combat may not have been added into Xolotl’s AI.
I could be wrong and the AI does know how to fight underwater but it did not seem like it to me.
In which case, I think it is fair to ask if it was a bug or a by design issue in which a developer did not add the ability to fight underwater into Xolotl’s AI.
During this event:
The sun’s great beasts have been defeated. The champion Xolotl now awaits any challengers.
Defeat Xolotl (12)
I attacked Xolotl from the water with my guardians trident and was able to pull it into the water and completely outside the red ring the event takes place in. While Xolotl was in the water, it didn’t attack me at all and every so often it said the “Face me as another creature” line but I was never transformed. All in all it took like 20 minutes but I was able to kill it solo without being harmed. Was this a bug or by design?
