Guild Wars 2

Hi,

so I won’t complain about the stupidity of that achievement, but the % progression is bugged : on the screen I have done it 59 times, but it shows 58%… (the computation is not that hard though :p )

Mini-Gwynefyrdd
Mini-Llama
…

Ok so wait and see as they said That’s not a really big deal anyway.
But to be honnest, I don’t really understand why they put such caps to daily/monthly APs xD

I have my 10,000 daily APs since novembre (or october I don’t really remember xD) so I already reached the cap. Concerning the monthly, I didn’t reached it yet, but now I can’t gain new monthly points with the new system. And when I read this :

“Finally, in a release coming early next year, we will merge the existing daily and monthly achievement point caps into one pool. This will allow players to continue working toward the maximum point totals for the daily achievement system without the existence of monthly achievements.”

I thought the new “pool” would be Daily + Monthly = 15,000 and I can still continue to get the APs. But that’s not the case, my daily points are caped to 10,000 and I don’t gain monthly points neither

So still no answer to my question. Is that “pool” was supposed to be daily+monthly cap as it is mentioned in the wiki or something else ?

I’ve already read that, and I don’t find the answer to my question. Or maybe I just don’t see it, can you copy the specific section please ?

I have just a question about the new daily system. I have no problem with it, but when you said the monthly will be removed, I thought you would merged AP from daily and monthly, and raise the cap to 15000 (as it is said on the wiki : http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Daily )

But that’s not the case as you can see on my screenshot. Did I misunderstand something or this is a bug ?

In fact it happens for all the Wintersday activity if you use the portal to start it.

Just give the reward to everybody that was logged on the 15th after the patch. Why do you do such things ? You just complicate the thing for no purpose. It only creates frustration for people, like me, who just play the game every day. And now people doesn’t get their rewards even if they complete all the stupid conditions. And think about the new players : they logged in and they didn’t get the reward for logging in… It’s really confusing ! :o

Or, at least, can you give us the reason instead of spamming the patch note ?

Another Guardian who tried a teamswitch, but that problem is not due to the new patch :p

The point is today I only made game with Necro and Guardians, and yesterday it was thieves and engees… :/

Nothing else to say =D

Nabrok.9023:

It effects EU players less than NA players. For EU reset is after prime time when many will have already logged off for the night. For NA reset is before prime time, so most NA players will have logged in.

4pm PSD means 1am, the next day, for Paris (for example), so it means that if, as an european player, you logged yourself between 1am and, let’s say 6~7pm (when the patch arrived, and just before the prime) you’re screwed. So it’s the same trouble for everybody after all

They should give the day-one validation to everybody that was connected to the game after the patch. If they already did the daily, no rewards (with a message to explain why), if no, then give them the reward. Everybody got his reward, and everybody got is completion = everybody is happy =) But I really don’t think the problem is the double reward (2 mystic coins for the log-in reward…), because we were able to farm the daily APs twice, so it makes no sense to block one reward and not the other.

That point is not a big deal, but it’s highly frustrating and irritating to see that dedication is not rewarded here (I played yesterday, so I want that to count for the daily progression, that’s all)

For 2 mystic coins they feel that they have to screw every player that play before patch ? No I hope there is another reason and Anet will explain it really soon…

…

=)

The fact is I play GW2 since beta and I played everyday since that day, so it’s really frustrating not to have my yesterday connection that doesn’t count for some unclear reasons. If the problem was the double reward, why could we farm the daily AP twice then ?

They could have granted us the day one login with a message like “You already had your reward today, see you tomorrow !”

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

This doesn’t affect only EU players. Anyone that logged into the game after 00:00 UTC, whether in NA or EU or anywhere else gets the first Daily Log-In Reward after reset.

Let’s say you logged in 3 hours before yesterday’s Daily reset, played for 2 hours, and logged out. You would not be able to do yesterday’s Daily if you logged back in after the patch dropped today, because it is gone. So, the game gives you a Daily Log-In reward.

Let’s say you logged in yesterday 3 hours before patch, stayed on through Daily reset, and then completed yesterday’s Daily, and logged out. If you logged in today after the patch (but before reset, and automatically got the new Daily Log-In reward), you would be rewarded twice for yesterday’s Daily.

So, to prevent some people from being rewarded twice, anyone who logged in after reset yesterday must wait until reset today (patch day) to be rewarded. Those that logged in after yesterday’s reset, but failed to do their Daily, will miss out, but it would probably take a lot to code something that checked each account to see how many tasks that account completed on yesterday’s Daily, and then award the remaining (if any) Achievement Points/Rewards.

I imagine we will know more about who gets what, when, after a couple of Daily resets.

2 mystic coins dude… The reward is not the point, the problem is that now we have one day behind the other. We are active player but we don’t get our daily Log-in reward, and the worst part of it is that it’s not a bug, it’s purely intentional.

Besides, if I wanted to, I could have farm AP daily twice yesterday, why ? If the problem was getting rewards twice, why could I farm these APs ?

And I don’t mind of the reward, I played yesterday so make it counts (even if you dont give me the 2 mystic coins…)

That’s not a big deal, but it just confirms the feeling I have that they just don’t care of former player, and they just don’t know what to do with this game now (insanely farming LS, lack of content, and here just screw dedicated players with absolutely no reason…) =(

And I know it affects everyone, thank you… It’s just that EU players were most enclined to play before the patch :/

Basicaly, if you’re european, you’re screwed. Thank you.

(Yeah I’m exaggerating a bit, but the consideration of dedicated people is a little frustrating for some time…)

Do we talk about full thief/Engy PvP team today ? =D

Thank you for european players. And can we know why such a restriction ?

Oh thank you for the link !

Hi,

Sorry to create a new topic fort that, but I tried to find an older topic speaking about these bugged collections but the search tool on the forum is clearly broken :/

So any news from that ? Are the collections still bugged or the dev just decided to remove them forever ?

Thank you for your time

My bad, 800 gems (I also bought the wood-o-tron at the same time xD)
Yeah harvesting nodes are RNG, but I mine Copper, Silver AND Gold each time, and I have at least 3 of them

It’s so expensive comparing to what it does, if the description was better, I would never bought it (I’m french, so the translation can be really… bad…)

I really thought I’ll have 3 of each when I bought it. I mean, all of the others stuff like that works that way, and costs 1000 gems. I’m really disappointed can we ask for a refound or something ? I’m so tired of all RNG mechanics in this, and now even the stuff we buy on TP provides us RNG based results…

Gaile Gray.6029:

I read through this thread to get caught up, and there seem to be a few questions that I can address:

• The miniature is extremely rare, it’s true. But the drop is random, which accounts for one person getting a pooch in a few hundred bags and someone else not getting it after opening several thousand.

Thank you for the clarification. During the 7 pages of the topic, I was a little confuse about that fact…

Gaile Gray.6029:

• One of our statisticians just checked the drop rate, and there is no error in the drop rate — it truly is dropping as designed.

So there is absolutely no special reward for this event. All what we can do is buying stuff, and some of it is coming from last year event… The new collection can just be done by buying at TP so I don’t considere the new candy mini is a reward from participating to the event. So, that being said, the only fun stuff we can get can only been obtain with non-sense RNG. It sucks, really. Do you even remember how to make content non RNG-related ? You can’t even sell it to the TP ! If somebody is not interested, or got it twice (hum…) he can’t sell it to someone who really wants it !

Gaile Gray.6029:

• Diminishing Returns do not apply to ToT Bags. I mean, phew! I read that question and my blood ran cold, but I felt sure — and the designer confirmed — that DR is not a factor with the Trick-or-Treat bags. Open 1, open 100, the drop rate is not impacted by diminishing returns.

Good to know, thank you

Gaile Gray.6029:

• I’ve passed along your suggestions. I believe that changes are not planned or even possible for this year’s event. What happens in future events — whether Gwynefyrdd will return — is not yet on the radar. Again, your thoughts and suggestions have been shared and I know that the devs do listen to your input. But what actually takes place in 2015 and beyond is not yet established.

2015 is in 2 monthes, I really hope you’re kidding :p

Gaile Gray.6029:

I also want to say that I’d love nothing more than to have Gwynefyrdd for myself. One comment here — “he swims!” and I was gone. I truly wish all of you great good luck with this goal!

Yeaaaay…

Actualy, the only thing that keeps me in the game is collectioning stuff. When you announced the collection achievements, I was really excited, I thought I would have to explore the whole game to find objects, but you just screwed it up by making all the events TP related. And now you just ruin the miniature collection by distributing them via random events (llama) or with stupid in game RNG. The mini wolf would’ve been a perfect reward for completing the event… Keep going guys, it’s awesome !

Please I want a 64-bits .exe D=

Exosferatu.2961:

How come female asuras can’t have the new pretty dress? :’(

When they’ll have boobies =D

Just put a 1 gem and a 10 gems (and even 50 and 100 if possible) option and everybody will be ok I guess… Even the “new” players… (you know I was a new player more than 2 years ago and I’m still here ? And 2 years ago, if the minimum price for gems was 75g, I don’t think I’d buy gems…)

+1 to OP. Collection is the “big” feature of the pack, and it’s still bug 3 weeks after the release…

fishball > to start the Jormag collection, you have to loot the Jormag Claw fragment from the Jormag world boss event chest in Frostgorge Sound. And that’s RNG based, so I hope you have more luck than me (one try per day since launch and still nothing… and the funny part is that it takes the place of others loot, so you can still drop it instead of another rare item even if you already have it…)

OP : because it already exists. Actually, this is the first unlimited gathering tool they propose on the gemstore, more than a year ago

Not to mention that the chapter 7 requires you to be lvl 70, but drives you to the Cursed Shore, which is a lvl 80 area…

Hi,

when I double click on the recipe for “recipe : ogre sharpening stone”, nothing happens. And when I right click on it, the only thing I can do is destroying it…

EDIT : Ok, so I just left WvW and I can now learn it normaly

Hi,

In order to craft some of the jeweler backpack we need some iron, steel and darkstell lingots, but the jeweler can’t craft them. I think it should be silver, gold and platinium, isn’kitten

Edit : wow you really should improve your censor algorithm… xD

Of course we already know :

(7:16)

Each BL weapons has to be collected

AP shouldn’t be related with gemstore. Gemstore should only be for cosmetic purpose, and making life easier (with infinite gathering tools for example). And that’s all, it houldn’t have any impact on the game itself. Having AP relying on cash shop is really disgusting, both minis and weapons (and maybe armors ? and gathring tools ? ) I know we can still buy them from the TP, but prices higher and higher, and stocks will just vanished, so the only way to get them will be to buy keys (and in the same time, they’ve nerfed keyfarming, huge coincidence, right ? :p )

http://www.gw2tp.com/item/67064-chaos-focus-skin (and only few people knows for the new AP at the moment)

To be honnest, I… I don’t really understand the problem. If you want to collect miniatures, or you think one of them is amazing and want to have it all the time then you just unlock it for your wardrobe. If you don’t like it, or just don’t care about minis… well you just sell it. Why would you keep dozens of minis if you don’t want them ? And all the actual account-bound minis from the LS or cash shop are… well… account-bound, so having them in the bank or in the wardrobe makes no diffrences… I don’t really see the big deal here ^^"

Concerning the achievements, I think we need a clarification : the old one constited in placing all the minis in the bank at least one time. Now the minis bank will be no more, so is theses achs still here ? And if yes, how to get them now ? If no, will you remove our APs for getting them ? And will you automatically grant people with the previous achs the new ones ? (which would be stupid imo, two achs for the same thing… :p )

To be honnest, I don’t care about the achievements (and I regret the era where people used to play video games for fun, and not for AP=( ), but I can see people are questioning about them, so maybe if I ask in a less “aggressive” way, you will answer

The only negative aspect is that you told us that is for veteran player. Even if I like that announcement, I’m kind of scary of what’s coming next lol

But being at the required level of the last mission of the chapter to start that chapter is exactly what they said… Maybe the intro steps will be in “I’m Character Name” chapter. Maybe the screenshot is not coming from the new UI. Maybe they don’t even think about it. Maybe reaching level 10 will become part of the first chapter. How can we know since they didn’t tell us anything yet ?

But after being so kittened off, I truly hope you’re right dude, otherwise the muddy rain of shame will come upon you xD

But they’ve already answered on other topics concerning the announcement (that one for instance https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Completely-Pointless-Revamps/first#post4344058 ), and they took the time to merge all posts and topics concerning key farming so I think they had time to answer :p

But happy Labor Day to all US dudes

8 pages… and still no red answer… :x

I’ve notices that threre are 3 main types of answers from the CM/DEV on the forum :

1. What do you think about that feature ?
2. Sorry but all the off topic posts will be deleted
3. Yeah thank you for the compliments

If we have none of these answers, 2 possibilities :
1. Oww… it seems we screwed it up, let’s change it without saying a word, they’ll forget we did it wrong at first
2. They don’t like that idea, but there’s no turning back. Let’s say nothing

It’s a little exaggerated, but the idea is here :p

But the fact is it’s already there in China. And I don’t see why they couldn’t implement it that way. After the end of the introduction mission, the next step is to accomplish a “heart mission”. Well, they just have to add a “reach level 10” condition to continue the story.

And I quote :

Personal Story

As another addition with the level-up guide, we’re updating the personal story steps using our new Story Journal so they come in story chunks that unlock all at once per chapter. When a story chapter is unlocked as a level-up reward, you’ll be able to play straight through the entire chapter from start to finish and not have any awkward starts and stops that throw off the storyline. In this way, story chapters become another big moment to look forward to earning and unlocking as your character levels up.

It means that while you don’t have the level to complete that story chunk, you can’t access to it. The end of the first part is level 10, so we can assume that we unlock it at level 10.

I’m not saying this will happen, but it CAN happen, and the way they present it suggests that it will happen. I repeat, only one post to clarify would be appreciated. Without that… see the begining of my post :p

I want a Dark Knight Quaggan.

OoooooOOoo! Quaggan will eat your soul!

GW2 birthday does not fit with LS. LS is serious business, they can’t allow that something interferes with it. No Birthday party, no SAB, no expansion, NOTHING until it’s done. UNDERSTOOD ?

Aeolus.3615:

what are u people talking about… shooting the weapon does not give u bd cakes .. O_o

Of course it is ! It’s a birthday cake rifle !!! /NOM NOM NOM

Yeah, don’t listen to the spoiled children around here. I usualy complain a lot on the forum, but here I won’t. I mean… an INFINITE BIRTHDAY CAKES DISTRIBUTOR !!! Why the hell are you complaining about the most awesome idea ever thought !? _ Besides, from where I come, complaining about a free gift is very outrageous…

So maybe the lvl 20 scroll is useless (But I think you did that on purpose for all the trolls on the community right ;p ), maybe I’d prefer the former GW1 tradable miniature system, but thank you for that present. Thank you for the FREE perma food (for people like me who always forget to buy/craft foods it’s just perfect xD) and for the fun of throwing cake everywhere ! =D

Seriously, complaining about unlimited free birthday cake, how sad it is é_è

PS : but please make the new scroll stackable with the previous one xD

He will never be released. You should stop your collection and give me your llama right now -_-

That being said, I’d like more info too it’s the only one I need (except the llama :p )

Yeah for today it works perfectly fine (and for almost 99% of the time to be honnest), but there was one day he couldn’t (as I said I can’t remember when, and maybe it happened other times, I don’t really know))

Actualy if you want to get 12 AP you need to play only to modes : PvP and WvW But my point was just that clicking on 3 scrolls, speak to the laurel merchant or mining 20 ores grants you 1 point while doing 3 complete PvP fight is also only 1 point. The problem is the same ^^

OmaiGodman.2098:

Hmm, let’s slowly turn this game into an Excel sheet with stats and graphs everywhere

Actually there would be no more numbers than what we have now. They just would have a different signification :p

Belzebu.3912:

So … you want to get your daily done by doing the same things as we do now or alternatively doing something like just mining 100 ores (20*5) or just getting 15 skill points (3*5) and so on?

That sounds even more lazier than it is now.

I’d prefer no daily at all. But I got your point, and thare are some dailies that would not really fit with my system. But I don’t exactly remember when, a friend of mine who exclusively do PvP said to me that if stuck at 4/5 and was force to do some PvE in order to complete the daily. If 6 of his PvP granted him 2 dailies he would have been happy And that’s just an exemple.
But yeah, I know my idea is not perfect. Maybe some of the success would still be locked to one (or 2, or 3) time(s) per day, or just deleted, but I really think more flexibility would be nice. BTW, when I say the limit should be lvl 12, I think it can also be just 5, only the daily, but by “playing as we want” (but I didn’t propose that in my inital post because I don’t think AP hunters would be happy with that xD )

Belzebu.3912:

In your idea someone who click in a skill scroll 15 times would get the same reward as a player that do the PvP matches, do the WvW objectives and the PvE dailies.

Sounds weird right ? But… that’s curently what’s happening now xD

You will have to explain yourself ‘cuz I don’t see your point

That kind of daily wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) exist anymore, don’t be ridiculous please

Yeah I understand that, but in my mind it looks like the picture at the end of the post

So you still can pick what you want to do, and each time you do something, every counters are updated. I don’t know if I’m clear enough xD

Oh don’t worry I’m not telling the actual system is bad ! It’s just that I think that for a daily reward system, the more flexibility we have, the better it is

Hi everybody !

I was thinking about something that could be good concerning the daily achs and I would like to share it with you.

Currently, we have a pool of 12 daily achs and we have to do 5 of them to get our daily reward. The most motivated can even do the 12 in order to boost their AP. So we have to complete at least 5 objectives : killing 50 mobs, play 3 PvP games, dodge 15 times, …

My idea is to put al these achievements in one, and to have a status bar, with 12 levels, that we fill by doing one of these things. Killing 50 mobs would fill the bar to level 1, and would still grant us 1 AP for exemple. BUT killing 25 mobs and gathering 10 nodes will also grant us the rewards ! To go further, if I kill 250 mobs, I get my level 5 progression and obtain my laurel. And if you’re an achievement hunter, you can go up to level 12 (which is the max daily point we can get now), but by doing exactly what you want.

I think this system adds more flexibity in the daily achievement mechanism, and it fits more with the principle of “play as you want”. Sounds great to me, but you, what do you think about that ?

EDIT : simple copy/past of one of my post below :

In my mind it looks like the picture at the end of the post

So you still can pick what you want to do, and each time you do something, every counters are updated. I don’t know if I’m clear enough xD

That’s what you need for all the new recipes, if you manage to obtain the level 4 Zephyrite’s favor
