Guild Wars 2

Especially the Mini Toxic Hybrid is disturbing and annoying.

I’m standing there and crafting and then comes this mini. Thanks to the new gem box this pest is everywhere. I end up teleporting between different locations just to escape this utterly disturbing sound.

what part of you didn’t earn it should I explain again?

McViolin.8547:

I got that by driving down to my local Best Buy and bought GW2 gems to support Anet, and made a character on the day that Anet was giving out the titles. I think I’ve earned those titles and they meant a lot to me. Because of those titles, I was able to meet new friends.

- you haven’t earned that title
- this title is for GW1 players.
- you are not one of them, therefore no title
/thread

omg… this dragonseason crap is already in other posts, too

what’s it with those nerfers these days? They like to see things get “moderated” in their point of view so it could fit their own (sometimes lack of) play style more.

What’s wrong with ppl speed running, speed killing, speed whatevering the dungeons?
Let them have their fun!

What do you have against ppl comleting dungeons fast?

What harm does it to you?

If you don’t like it, dear EcoRI.9273, then don’t participate in those runs.
Use the LFG and forums to find ppl which enjoy the things you do.

Why do you try to regulate the things in your own image, if both can happily coexist?

Well here’s the answer:

“…but I hate the fact that everyone who will use swiftness and mobility skills, will make so much more money than me.” EcoRI.9273

It’s pure selfishness. You just want it to be your way, because.

yuck

True story:

Apple had to change the RNG for shuffle on their iPod as people were complaining it was broken. Many times songs repeated and so on. The truth is it was truly random. Apple had to change the RNG to appear more random to us.

If you play this game since launch you could have ended up without looting an exotic even once and nothing would be wrong with the RNG.

Our brains are pattern-seekers and they are wired to overdo it.
The only way to find patterns in the RNG of GW2 is to use a scientific method. Everything else is just superstition.

Cyninja.2954:

Full set of exotic armor and first weapon set comes to about 70-80g without runes (and you can got with cheap runes first). At about 10-15g per hour farming Silverwastes or even doing other things you’ll have the gold in about 4-5 hours tops. Maybe 10 hours if you do other stuff like dungeons etc.

How is this not considered “easy to get”?

Because you need good gear and great game knowledge to farm remotely near that efficiently?

You can’t even reliably get into dungeons with exotic gear so…

That’s just not true. I haven’t been asked once for my gear in dungeons. Most ppl don’t give a crap. If your party is one of the elitist wannabes, leave it.

Hylgeriak.8250:

It is grind if you make it a grind.

what he said.

Non grindy way:
do world bosses which give you two bonus chests and two dungeons of your choice.
if you’re up for it, do one complete silverwastes run.

This will take you a few days, but there you go: not grindy.

The grindy way:
silverwastes weekend
and you’re done

you don’t have to grind anything. just play the game how you like. full exotic gear is strong enough for the content and very easy to get.

now ofc if you need ascended gear or badly need a legendary, you’ll have to “grind” for it.

it’s like irl. if you want that big house and expensive car, you have to grind it.

OK, i’ll bite.

How is exotic gear “very easy” to get?

PvE only asks for berserk gear, and a draconic chest piece with PPF costs 5G, berserk gear is the second most expensive, how is that easy to get?

Do yout think people will run dungeons with you if your character is using rares? Really? Even in guilds people don’t go with you if you are using rares, plus you don’t want to go with rares for dungeons, because rare gear is horrible in dungeons.

I agree with the ascended one.

- If you are in a dungon group which asks you to ping your gear, leave the group.
- And yes I ran dungeons with a mix of masterwork, rare and exotic (lvl 70) gear

You can easily level up to 80 and then do world bosses every day and a few easy dungeons. And each day you can at least buy one exotic piece.

And when people play a game they don’t want to have it like irl. It being a challenge is fine, smaller farms are also acceptable but a never-ending currency grid like irl is not what many people are looking for in a game.

hm.

would you call it grinding when I do all the world bosses every day and the dailies? maybe throw in a few fast dungeon runs, too?

Doing this gives me enough gold and items and I’m happy.

But if I need something fast, I’ll have to grind it. there’s no way around, besides buying gold.

There’s just no need for grinding in this game. It’s all up to oneself and how desperate he is for a particular item.

As I said earlier, full exotic gear is easy to obtain and can be done casually without spending time grinding it.

it’s the nature of things. if we want to have something in a shorter period of time, we have to put in more effort. that’s true on this planet and all others out there.

what’s the point in legendaries when any tom, diick and harry can get them?

I second that.

Can’t stand this overflow system anymore. it’s just crap. sorry Anet, but it’s just that.

supafreak.8942:

Every living story battle, every wvw battle, every world event =
Blow all cooldowns, sidestep aoe, blow all cooldowns, sidestep aoe , repeat untill mob is dead, get token. Meanwhile try not to have a seizure from all the colours.
I decided to try again after being gone almost a year and not a thing has changed.

Same old reskinned sorry excuses for content with some new node to click on, a new zerg, and a new kind of token to buy skins with.

I started in LA under attack with playing support. Dropping heals, laying fields, all that features I enjoy so much.
But there’s just no need for it. I’m spam-dpsing now with an idiotic glass build, dodging once in a while and that’s it. no brain involved. I get four times the loot now for this egoistic play-style. but who gives a crap.

Seeing Battle for LA is the same, I see no reason to keep this going. What for? For loot? I don’t care for that anymore. What good is ascended and a legendary weapon if dps-spamming is the only play-style you need?

I’m getting tired of this.

I’m so glad I had the new back piece so I could at least cheat my way into the story.
I don’t see how am I supposed to do it the regular way. The overflow is empty. Only npcs are at the legendaries positions. In one overflow we managed to kill only one of them.

It’s like with LA under attack. If you didn’t manage to come into the main or closely following overflows, don’t bother going at all.

what should I do now? wait until the queue pops and I get into the main at about 5 a.m.?

I gave up on tequatl already as it wasn’t worth waiting for. Didn’t bother doing marionette if I wasn’t there already by chance.

this is so frustrating, I’m really mad about this and I can’t bare this overflow crap anymore.

Sankofa Jimiyu.1567:

You are leveled to 80 while inside, but your gear isn’t. I played with a level 21 character just fine by sticking to ranged and staying with the group.

well no.

I leveled my 28 guardian to lvl 80 melee only. used a mixture of knights armor and zerker
all your stats will be pushed up to lvl 80.

however your gear lvl has to be as close as possible to your char lvl.
if your char is lvl 45 and your gear is lvl 30, you’ll end up with a power stat about 1500 instead of 2200. (if you chose power gear. approx values)

put in greens and then three stat blues as soon as available for your level.
upgrade the gear as soon you can or maybe all 5 levels.

the minor runes are cheap. use them to up your power. no two runes have to be the same.

(Edit: Crap… Now I see it. Slyther said it already. Anyway…)

You have to realize that this would have a huge impact on the game economy, which is a hard beast to tame.

Just destroy it if you have no use for it. it’s only bits and bytes, so there are no environmental issues to be afraid of.

you won’t lose anything. it’s just that you can’t make a profit out of it.

Angelica Dream.7103:

So when Scarlet was attacking Tyria a few worked hard while farmers got rich, plus received the reward for our labors. Now again, we save LA’s citizens while farmers get rich and still get bags for the people we rescued. But we do not get rewards for their events!
WHY ANET?
Look if you want to farm please do, but ANET needs to set a limit on future content. It is not fair they farmers get rewards for our works.

yet another qq thread…

now poor boy, if us farmers got rich doing it, why did you still save the citizens? are you just such a samaritan or what? if farming was the way to get rich, why save citizens then? is it not a poor choice of yours and also other qqers?

before you qq some more look what this guy got opening 8000 bags.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/escape/Opened-8000-Bags-of-Alliance-Supplies/first#post3711040

I’m sure he’s so insanely rich now he can buy southsun cove and turn it into a retreat for all us rich farmers so we don’t need to be in the same spot with poor qqers.

Manuhell.2759:

Except “my way” is wanting to do the objective of the event, as clearly stated by patch notes and a citizen counters on the right of the screen.
Whereas “farming champs” is yet another way people have found to abuse said events.

In the end a lot of people are using the events as another champ train, and depending on the magnitude of those trains, making the event fail for all the other people due to sheer lack of people doing anything else or, in the best case, leeching off the final reward on top of all they have farmed. Getting, by the way, a lot more rewards than the ones that actually made the event succeed.
And you call me selfish, heh. No, the selfish ones are farmers and afk people, surely not me that just want to do an event as intended by the developers.
Removing those champ bags would only be fair, if anything.

Well where’s the fun in that?

Speaking for myself I have just a fixed amount of time available to spend on my chars. In this time available I’d like to progress as much as possible and get all that shiny available. There are enough like-minded ppl around and I’m happy to join runs with them. We help each other out and cut down further the time necessary to get to the shiny.

I and many others did LA “by the book” the first few times. Optimization did its thing and we found more efficient ways of doing it. Please bare in mind we weren’t using exploits.

I mean figuring out that the miasma level is a cheap joke and you’ll get killed out of LA at x:50 anyway didn’t improve my motivation on doing these events. So I changed my strategy to do other events and revive citizens on my way, which was the most profitable way imo.

Or look at this children escort mission. The pace they are taking is just so horribly slow and absolutely unbelievable even in a fantasy setting like this. I did it a few times until I ended up cursing them. So why should I stick to the developers intended plan? Hell no. My time is precious. Don’t want to waste it.

You can only force ppl into doing the things like you’d like to by changing the game itself to be on rails like in a theme park.

Making the game open world and then removing rewards as you see fit to manipulate ppl into your scheme is a selfish thing to do.

For instance:
The miasma level should have had a real impact on the game. Like your hp ticking away the more the higher the level, resulting in a wipe. Now this chance is gone and we have to deal with what we have. Having an imaginary egoistic master developer changing this afterwards so it would fit his plan would srsly make ppl angry.

Manuhell, your request is a selfish one. More than that, you’d like to punish other players not following your way of running LA.

DarcShriek.5829’s cynical comment sums it up.

asap lvl 80 was my first priority. I revived the civs on the way as many other bag farmers also did.

Cael.3960

well, at least you’re not AFK’ing in the sewers/portals like the rest of the leeches.

insulting others is so low. you just can’t accept that other ppl have different needs. it has to be your way. if you can’t deal with it in a constructive way maybe you should try playing single player games instead?

5 x Cursed shore
5 x Malhor’s
2 x Frostgorge
3 x Southsun

so 45 orichalcum per 1 character
360 per 8 characters..
I don’t see any problem here. W8 few days if you can’t afford it now.

wohoo… look how great you are!

MR. “I don’t see any problem here”, not everybody has the time to level 8 chars, you know.

Anyway. I know this thread is months old, but for ppl who don’t have 8 chars like this guy here, it is a pita to farm that stuff. Still no change even months after this thread started. And why should it? I mean what’s the fun if you can farm all your stuff easily and get all that ascended and higher items in a matter of days?

Should the rate of ori nodes be increased? And what’s next? And the next after that?

I need desperately more of ori, ancient, silk scraps and others. It sucks sometimes to have to work that hard for mats. but it also keeps me going, doing things, trying to figure out the best way to get the stuff I need. And when I get sick of it, I do just something else. I plan to play this game a few months more and I’m not in a hurry to reach the end of the end-game.
