Guild Wars 2

I’ll take an invite!

The most tedious parts for me:

-Walking back
-Waiting in queue
-Design of dome (Floor and size)
-Lag from zerg below

I ended up completing every achievement, but it was by far the worst encounter I’ve ever done in the last 10 years of gaming.

I did it, but it wasn’t satisfying. The fight was not enjoyable. This was probably the worst encounter I’ve ever done in a MMO.

The element should be air. A whirlwind animation during gathering would be awesome.

The RNG is disgusting. I wanted the fractal sword, but I ended up getting Bolt quicker. Crazy.

Update: Crafted Bolt. Took me 1500 hours on my main character. My total play time was 1700 hours.

I just crafted Bolt yesterday.

No need to change the drop rates. It took me 1500+ hours to craft it.

Some people have jobs that require typing with proper grammar and it’s probably second nature to type a period at the end of each sentence.

If you’re looking for easy baubles, there are lot of dig spots close together in Zone 3. Here is a video:

I was running FotM every day from December until the January patch and I’d get at least 6 rares per run. Now I’m lucky to get 1. RNG doesn’t seem so random to me.

I can confirm that I use to get 6+ rares per run. I never got less than 6 rares in any run until the last patch. Since then, I get 0-2 rares per run. Mostly 0.

Probably the best fractal for loot though.

You’re still more powerful and have access to all of your abilities.

So far I still need:

Precursor
T6 mats (Have an average of 100+ of each)
89 Charged Lodestones

I farmed every mat without using the TP.

Gold sellers want repeat business just like any company. They are not lying about the ability to provide you with a precursor. Obviously they bought some and I wouldn’t be surprised if they did control the market.

Gold sellers can’t farm, so they’ll control the TP.

Most of the rares I got were from trash. Always been that way for me.

Nothing would get me back into the open world more than being able to buy cores or lodestones with achievement tokens.

At least in FotM most of my t6 mats, rares and exotics drop from trash.

I don’t know, but this topic made me smile. Who do I pay with a hug?

Not sure, but I just play the game. I don’t stay up all night at the edge of my seat trying to find the next best way to make gold.

I noticed the nerf as well

I am completely against Ascended gear, but I did end up running FotM eventually. The problem though, is that now it’s all I do. I run FotM a few times then I check out WvW for a little bit. That’s about it.

Why? Try doing other dungeons, leveling alts, working on achievments, or playing sPvP. There’s SO MUCH to do in this game.

I don’t get why people do NOTHING besides FoTM then come on the forums and complain that they’re not having any fun. Well duh, it’s because you’re only playing ONE tiny part of the game, of COURSE you’re going to get bored of it real quick.

I am having fun. I’m pointing out the problem of the world being a little more empty because of it.

I am completely against Ascended gear, but I did end up running FotM eventually. The problem though, is that now it’s all I do. I run FotM a few times then I check out WvW for a little bit. That’s about it.

Not sure, but I have a bunch.

I’ve run FotM 10 about 17 times and I have 5 rings. However, I’m only using the one I purchased with relics. I guess I have 6 rings.

I know right. Anytime I make a mistake, I just correct it and tell the person to get over it. I mean, why should I be sorry. kitten them.

Anet is terrified that people will DC and re-enter FotM after death. This will obviously lower sales of revive orbs.

I agree, make it 7000 relics or 200 skill points.

I stopped buying gems since they introduced the ascended gear grind which I’m sure will bound to continue this year. So they’re missing on 100s of dollars from me but I’m sure they get more than enough, though I’m deeply hoping I’m not the only one that stopped.

You’re not the only one.

Anet needs to make it a weekly event. Maybe even increase the rewards since it can only be done once a week.

Simple fix really. Make it so a DC’d player returns to the lobby and will be able to rejoin the group at the next check point or after the boss kill.

Don’t waste your time trying. Instead invest your gold on gathering mats and wait for the prices to rise after the bots are banned.

Probably because a lot of us weren’t getting WvW bonuses for the first 3 months of the game.

I have a theory that perma DR is based on how many items to sell to a vendor

I did a test. First I said LFG xxx and didn’t get any tells. Then I said LF4M xxx and instantly got 4 people.

Point is, if you’re LFG and 1 more person joins you, it’s so much easier to get 3 more people.

I have found that MF gear actually reduces and lowers the quality of my drops

lol @ perceived. You guys are full of yourselves.

What I don’t understand is why you people are still buying keys.

I find that the trash in Maw has really good drop rates too. Too bad many people skip it.

Nothing should be RNG. Why would anything need to be?

Haha, that’s pretty funny. Did they change it to Mace Fist Mojo?

I agree. Instead, we should start a fight about not starting a fight.

Nah, I won’t purchase keys/chests from Anet ever again.

Actually, I’m pretty sure some people are stuck with a persistent DR across all zones. Similar to how random people were without WvW buffs for the first 3 months of the game.

Less greed and more joy!

If you’re rewarded then you might not buy gems to convert to gold.

Stop trying to force us to covert gems to gold. Make the cash shop attractive in another way.

That’s simple: stop allowing people to buy gems for gold. Then if you want something that requires gems, you must pay cash. Would that make folks happier? I sincerely doubt it.

Economics is complicated. Arena is in the tough spot of trying to balance two economies (the in-game economy and their need to generate real-world revenue). You pay nothing to play the game online once you bought it, but it costs AN plenty to keep the doors open.

That’s not the solution, but even that is better than what we have now. My problem isn’t the cash shop (which I was using), it’s the nerf to drop rates to get people to convert gems to gold. There is more to the cash shop than just gold.

John Smith.4610:

Gold sellers hack accounts
When you give them money, you are funding hacking of accounts
Your account may be hacked, but it isn’t a direct transaction

When you buy gold from goldsellers you’re attempting to get a better deal from people who steal accounts, hurt the gaming industry, and steal credit cards. To me, that’s an awful thing to do.

You support Gold Sellers with every nerf to drop rates. Stop trying to force us to covert gems to gold. Make the cash shop attractive in another way.

Maybe this is Anet’s idea of a gold sink.
