Guild Wars 2

While my love is the Sanctum Sprint, the Aspect Arena is a ton of fun! I played it a ton the first time around and am quite disappointed at the lack of rewards from it now. I would love to see this added to the daily activity rotation.

I never understand why people feel “forced” to do things… it’s simple don’t buy it. There is absolutely no reason to, in fact I feel it is a bit less convenient then your free spot saving home WvW BL (just go easy on the WvW folk and don’t afk there.)

Regardless of the dwarves who chose to become stone, if I recall correctly only the male dwarves chose this path. I’m not that in touch with the lore but I’m pretty sure the transformation was optional… and that the Stone Summit would not be too likely to make the same decision. I don’t know if they got wiped out somehow but they could still be alive somewhere. The most likely event here is that Scarlet is trying to stir a dragon though.

Suck, there’s no other way to put it. Mystic Coins and Laurels (which I don’t think should be removed) are useless for Spvp. The PvP daily reward ought to reward extra rank points and/or glory.

As much as I’d like to say just delete them and stop complaining, my inner pack-rat thinks anet should just assign a cheap monetary value to them.

5k hours means you have played the game for appox 10 hours and 45 minutes every day since release… lol if you can’t afford to buy a precursor you may be doing something wrong.

Having a jetpack sitting in the bank as an investment I really hope they don’t bring them back… at least not for a while. I didn’t “get lucky” and get one as a drop. I spent the coin to invest in one. I can understand items like azurite and recipes but the skins shouldn’t be brought back any time soon.

Dredge should not take more than 30-40 minutes if you (and your group) are good and know what you are doing, which is a little bit too long imo. They ought to just take out or reduce the amount of dredge that keep spawning from the cart. Avoiding the dredge is pointless, you could just end up getting it again. The problem is that with this new update a bunch of non-regulars are running fractals again so everything takes 2-3 times longer than it should on higher fractals.

Max you’re the type of person I hope I never have to put up with in game. It does seem pretty lame that anet can’t just put in the box mechanic which should be easily modified from a different version, but you are making a mountain out of a molehill.

Lol only noobs will be farming Champions for their new loot bags instead of plowing through dungeons that are “long”. Regardless of however much CoE rewards in end path gold it will net you minimum 7g/hr if you can do all three in an hour.

Haha apparently voting ends 5 hours before when I planned to drop the banner, I’ll be dropping them in Kaineng from around 11:00-1:00 Central time instead.

I don’t see why this is thought to be shopped… only about 200g more than the tokens I’ve gotten from just playing.

Understand that this is a council of pirates, that even if waypoints are halved you likely won’t end up saving more than 3 gold over the month, that nobody is forcing you to buy keys at a reduced price, and that the best part of Guild Wars is it’s unique living world created by the incredible story that the devs have created.

Evon supporters, we ought to make a coordinated effort to give Evon a nice boost, save your tokens and tomorrow one hour before the daily reset guest onto Kaineng and I will drop a double token flag for Evon. (If anyone has a flag they can drop pm me, otherwise I’ll buy one :P)

Nobody is forcing you to buy keys, and this is a council of pirates… of course the corrupt business man should beat out the little girl who doesn’t like to get her hands dirty and can’t even do her own job. Who was it again that discovered that it was Mai Trinn who killed the last councilman? Certainly not Inspector Kiel.

Adding more levels of customization won’t make the game more childish, dumb people choosing bad colors would.

Bring this back!! Let us dye our weapons again! Even if it is only a small portion of the weapon this was a super cool feature that did not transition over from GW1 and that makes me sad

I was just saying HM for dungeons, it wouldn’t really be difficult to adjust the stats of mobs within, or even add a new hard mode path to each of the 8 dungeons. A HM world would be cool but it would thin out the already dwindling number of people within zones.

The main problem I would imagine is that most dungeons aren’t strategically challenging enough, so making fights take longer would just be annoying. They should just add a new different HM path that has stronger mobs and new challenges. (easier said than done I know :P)

As long as mounts are purely aesthetic then no harm no foul. Keep em out of WvW or at least have them be filtered out by the detail filter. I am strongly against mounts (especially if they alter game-play dynamics) but understand that people love WoW and want to taint the beautiful GW2 so they can live in the past.

For those who played GW1 you remember the joy (or maybe pain for some of the less avid players) of the addition of hard mode to just about everything. Adding hard mode to dungeons with better rewards would be a great improvement to game-play. Right now just about every dungeon can be completed with minimal effort.

The fact that people choose to speed run dungeons rather than face extreme challenges to make money creates the very monster that GW2 sought to quell; grinding. A person can consistently pull 4-5g an hour out of CoF1 with no effort, so why not make a hard mode that not only challenges the players but also rewards them for their conquest of said challenge. And make it a sizable reward, like tripling the path reward and the bags of wondrous goods rewards (while maybe even throwing a t6 mat in the bags for HM.)

I feel this would end a lot of crying about lack of end game content and the grinding people are “forced” to do.

I kind if agree that CoF1 farming is doing some damage, but there are better places to farm and make money even solo. The only drawback to these other farming spots is that DR hits hard after 1 hour+ while you could run CoF all day and be making consistent money.

CoF only creates class racism within CoF, it is a simple fact that the Warrior has the means to out DPS all other classes and if you are good enough to not get hit as a full glass cannon you will accomplish your task the fastest.

I don’t agree with the account bound on creation, but could not agree more with the account bound on equip. It’s a lot of work to get these items, bring back the gw1 spirit of passing weapons around to different characters!

I still have yet to see how this was even a problem, you converted gold into keys for a lower price than the gold/gem -> key ratio. If the gold/gem ratio went on the rise and I could get twice as many keys for my gold would this be a problem? (not that this will ever happen lol)

And what are you talking about Frizz??? People spent hours, perhaps days worth of time earning the money they invested into CC’s and then bam! With no heads up they deleted a days worth of time out of my life. I’m not looking to get into a philosophical debate about allocation of time spent playing, just saying that even if I managed to pull in 3g an hour I lost 23.33 hours to a thoughtless move by mein fuhrer anet.

Yeah because I have +45% bleed rune combo, +36% condition duration from pizza, +30% condition duration from traits which totals to +111% bleed duration. My eruption (normally 12s bleed) caps at 20 for tooltip (which is wrong) and loads 24s of bleed onto the target, but it should be ~= 25.25s. And if I put on a trait that increases my bleed duration by another 20% nothing happens.

It’s not that bad because instead of +20% additional bleeding i can have -20% cd but is still kind of disappointing.

Is there a cap on condition duration? It looks as if there is not a difference no matter how much higher above 100% total bleed duration. It seems that anything more than that is just a waste of either runes or traits/

I really don’t understand how Anet can justify this move, sure some people abused an exploit causing half price exotic trinkets but why should I/others be punished for this? When I saw these trinkets were 80-85s a pop I dropped 70g right there intending to buy keys, now I have 55k CC’s with no value… did I do something wrong? Is it wrong to play the market to get the best deal? This is just a slap in the face to dedicated players who have done nothing wrong. Lyns will be put back up with no BLK’s so players can liquidate their CC’s… but on what???? The rares and exotics are not salvageable or capable of being thrown in the forge, so what’s the point? The Black Lion Chests didn’t have items that would devastate the economy, just small rewards that make playing more worthwhile. Would it be so bad for the prices of Perma contracts to drop so people didn’t have to waste time banking or w/e?

My suggestions on this are Anet should do one of the following:

1. Remove donation packaging from Miyani and keep Lyns the same until the CC’s are gone, then restation her after say a week or so.

2. Add an option to Lyns to buy CC’s back from players for say even 10c ea. (This way we at least don’t get completely screwed over.)

3. Give her something that is useful to have many of (I.E. Black Lion Salvage kits)

4. Keep the keys but double their cost. (This way they cost slightly more than gem conversion even at the 80s price per exo trinket)

This is an excellent game and will keep getting better, I just hope to see this matter handled properly by the hardworking folks at Anet.
