Guild Wars 2

This is why no one takes GW2 speedrunning seriously. In any other popular game that’s speedran they have different categories for exploits so they’re all still valid. Eg. The big bug skips in Ocarina of Time.

To clarify:

I can understand why the gold rewards are account bound, but I see no reason for the tokens to also be account bound, there is literally NO reason why this would be a problem if there was a 2 hours limit or so before you can run it on an alt and get the tokens again.

You’re not being forced to do anything, stop being such a drama queen. Do the content that you find bearable and rewarding, avoid the content you don’t want to do. Wow, this is pretty difficult stuff.

The problem I have is the content I find bearable and rewarding stops being rewarding after i’ve done it once.

Oddly enough, the content I find rewarding stops being bearable after I’ve done it once.

In any major system change, there will inevitably be winners and losers. In this case, the losers are the people who farm the same dungeon path(s) repeatedly. The winners are people who do a little bit of everything. Sucks that you are on the wrong side of the deal, but that happens from time to time.

Additionally, we all saw this coming far, far in advance. So don’t pretend these changes are some surprise that blindsided you, as these implications were talked to death prior to implementation.

I would hardly call doing 90% of the possible dungeons regularly doing the same paths over and over again. It’s just I want to do these dungeons again and I can’t. And if I do it’s an extreme waste of time and I may aswell be farming their kittenty laggy pavillion with the rest of the zerg.

You talk about winners and losers with the change but the winners are anet and the losers are the people who’re committed to running lots of different dungeons in a day on multiple accounts. There is absolutely NO reason why there shouldn’t be a 2 hour cooldown AT LEAST for the token rewards to be avaliable for alts.

And of course these changes blindsinded me, please cite me where it was mentioned that the new dungeon rewards would make the tokens account bound aswell, it wasn’t even mentioned in the official patch notes. They changed it when they first changed the dungeon reward system back in October or so and this was for the better, why on earth would I expect anet to take one step forward and two steps back?

I’m confused, title said you did all dungeons but arah, so I assumed you were looking for a group to help, but you’re complaining about dungeon changes, which are very beneficial to people who do arah, and later you write that you’d rather die than pug arah, I thought you never did arah?? what exactly are you trying to say?
PS: I did arah p3 in 30 minutes before, more than once, same thing for p2, you just have to find a good pug and add him as a friend.

I’m saying that regardless of whether or not i’ve done Arah on any given day I shouldn’t be FORCED into running it just because i’ve finished everything else if I want to make some more gold, especially considering that the danger of getting a pug who’ll waste possibly hours of my time is so much higher than in the other dungeons.

I know full well Arah can be run fast, i’m just not willing to take that risk, i’d much rather do the other dungeons again on my alts. What I really don’t understand about the change is why they didn’t just implement a cooldown on the token rewards, like immediately after they changed it from 20 tokens to 60 tokens a path there was I believe a 2 hour period you had to wait to do it on an alt to get the full reward again.

This would ensure that people aren’t running the same dungeon 5-7 times a day yet would be fair to the people who would like to do many dungeons on alts.

Because i’d rather kill myself than run Arah with pugs.

I would like to do some of them again but thanks to the new update that is now a complete waste of time.

Please wake up and realise that the only people you’re hurting with the token change is the players who’ve been supporting and playing your dungeons daily with many alts since release.

You did a great thing with unique PvE skins but it was completely counterbalanced by this unnecessary change. You’d make ALOT of people happy if you reverted it.

I can understand the gold reward being account bound but why the tokens?

I just levelled 2 extra alts and the only PvE I do in this game is dungeons, now I see no reason playing them since repeating a dungeon with my Warrior main will always be more efficient and net me the same amount of tokens/money.

Please revoke this change, it’s honestly ruined the patch and dungeon running completely for me, before the patch I was doing CoE 4/5 times a day now I can’t bring myself to do it more than once.

You can’t add sigils to the dragon weapons or runes to the new helmets.

Arenanet,

Please.

Just make fractal skins actual skins and transferable to PvP, it’s pretty horsekitten that they need a transmutation stone to be used, + if they’re useable in PvP it gives people a reason to use weapons their PvE mains can’t.

Post your 100 babbies

WOAH

I’ve been waiting for this for like, ever! Thanks Jon you’re the best <3DDDDD

Level one mesmers
Matchmaking is a joke now
Goodbye my sweet rank

Sorry but regardless of whether you queue as solo or a premade matchmaking is still terrible.

You can’t have a reliable ladder when they don’t even match you properly.

Average lobby rank? 40~ Sure why not let’s throw a level 1 warrior onto one of the teams, that’ll surely even out somehow.

Me and some members of my guild decided to do some PvP tonight, we did alright, winning 6 and losing 3.

I saw that the leaderboards had updated so I checked my new rank and i’d gone from 360 to 783. That’s over 400 places dropped with a win ratio of 66%.

Now I hadn’t expected to shoot up the leaderboards but surely something must be up with that.

@Follidus

-5 Laurels for each PvP and PvE would be forcing people to do what they don’t want to do, making the recent update pointless.

-Getting new people to pvp should be a goal but you shouldn’t completely shun the loyal pvpers in the process.

-10 Laurels is a big deal, it’s 10 days or a monthlies worth. And if it’s not a big deal why would you care about them giving 10 laurels to people who’ve already completed it?

-Alot more than a few hundred have done the monthly, and it’s not a lot of effort, and it shouldn’t matter if they use them or not surely the focus should be on appeasing those IE me and others in this thread who are outraged by it.

-PvE players will get an advantage, I could be kicked from a fractals group because people got 5 AR faster than me by doing the pvp monthly after the update.

The solution would be as simple as giving 10 laurels to those who finished both monthlies before the patch.
Everything else is unfair.

kitten I hate useless people that actually think this is a thing.

You did your PvP monthly knowing full well what your reward will be (ignorance is not an excuse).
Its like whining about buying something on release, then kittening for a refund when the price drops.

But it’s nothing like that, since it’s giving people who don’t even PvP normally an unfair advantage.

Give one valid reason why giving 10 laurels to those who already completed the monthly wouldn’t be fair to everyone? Who could possibly complain after that?

I’m not complaining that new people are playing. I’m complaining that these new people are playing PvP for the sole purpose of getting laurels. Since it obviously wasn’t intended as Arenanet stated it was either/or in regards to PvP/PvE laurels.

It will get patched and come april they’ll all go back, leaving nothing behind but ruined games for the people who enjoy PvP normally.

I find it ironic that those who enjoy PvP and support it even in it’s incomplete state have to suffer yet again, regardless of whether the 10 extra laurels is a bug or not it’s still unacceptable.

Now we have an influx of people with little to none tpvp experience ruining games in the hopes of getting carried to some free laurels, whilst the carriers get nothing.

This sounds elitist but it’s just a kick in the teeth. Anet will either fix it by next month so the people who ruined the 10 games to get the laurels can run off and spend theirs whilst the PvPers are left dry, or they could do a decent thing and reward people who’ve already completed the pvp monthly 10 laurels aswell. Since I doubt you could revoke it from those who’ve already spent them.

Arenanet,

Please.

Considering that fractals weapons do not have stats and you need a transmutation stone to use them properly I think it’d be really cool if you could just use them for pvp skins.

This would work similarly to how all other “skins” can be transferred to PvP.

So I spent 20 pristine relics on two of the new “Knight” stat ascended rings and farmed 5-6 fractals just to get enough shards to infuse both of the rings.

However when I tried to pre-infuse them using the shard-glob-vial recipe neither of the rings showed up on the mystic forge interface. Are you aware of this? Is this intended?

Seems a shame I had to waste alot of relics on rings which I have to swap out every time I want to do fractals 20+ or 30+

Supporting this.

Did some 20+ fractals and received two of the same ring, they were both pretty good for a Guardian however I was annoyed to see you could not equip both.

I don’t see the need for a “unique” tag on the rings, considering how difficult it is to attain them anyways.

Can’t farm dungeons for gold due to recent nerf, can’t farm mobs for items/gold due to farming cap, at least give us karma rewards for doing dungeons or something, this is just depressing.

They should just give the option to remove it visually, but keep the effect, it’s really annoying for taking screenshots of armour and stuff.

I’ve had the exact same problem, last night I traded 1g~ for 350~ gems and bought 10 fine transmutation stones, they were not delivered so I thought it would be a one off thing and traded 67~ silver for 200 gems so I could buy another 5, however these have not been delivered either, I guess i’ll open a ticket…
