Are people who post threads like this getting their accounts banned also?

I’m pretty sure they’re also associated with those in game accounts using these types of threads as an additional way to expose the url to people and increase hits.

This is unfortunately the side effect when you remove the holy trinity and questing and replace it with world events that don’t require much else other than just a tiny tiny bit of coordination and then 11111111111111111111faceroll*

The entire structure of the game is doomed to be what it is for good, it’s alright I suppose, entertaining for sure, but there’s really no meat to the game, no longevity.

People will diss the holy trinity and other mechanics they decided to do away with to be “different” but a lot of those things allow players to really have to rely on one another (despite how hard it may be at times) and around that it’s possible to create challenging and enriching content. But for right now its zerg zerg zerg- downed- die- wp, run back 111111111111111111….. etc. Oh here come the white knights, so i’m leaving.

I feel like it’s fixable though, just force people into situations with roles that need to be filled, but with less people so it’s not just number dependant,

thanks for your input btw!

The less people in the fight + more complexity = premades = raids like you find in other games.

You can’t make open world content (ie pug content) complex, otherwise they can’t beat it, hence zergs.

And what is really the point of open world zerg content? Wheres the strategy, and the need to rely on one another as a unit other than just warm bodies and more 111111 dps? That’s how content gets stale fast.

Take even gw1 for example, im not even talking about raiding content in wow…permadeath/trinity inside uw/fow was tough stuff, sure there were gimmick builds who could do it quickly but even then one slip up required more coordination otherwise it was doomed to fail. Those zones were ran for years and people did not feel it got stale half as quickly as the events in this game. Taking out trinity and trying to be different killed longevity and rewarding/enriching content.

And this is any different than random beta invites how? At least you still have a chance to keep farming to get it.

SMH its incredible how overdramatic people get over something so trivial…its just a beta dude. Come the hell on. So much of this community seems like self entitled carebears who whine over every little thing and take offense to every little thing. waaaaah!

Everything in this game revolves around RNG and profit for anet

So there is a small probability they will return (probably not ever again) because those skins don’t generate revenue as much as some of the other sets do

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I remember playing GW1 for many months, if not years, without new content. It did not seem to bother me, then. I am sure I will be able to make it until HoT releases, even if I am rather spoiled by all the new content updates we have had in GW2, in the past.

Good luck!

Content was hard and rewarding so your logic is invalid
They could take that and learn from them to create longevity out of a smaller amount of context but….

Oh wait downed state and way pointing and zerging content
Thanks

LOL YOU RUN A DUNGEON PATH AND TRY TO SELL IT TO OTHERS AND MAKE A PROFIT OFF LAZY INDIVIDUALS AND GET REKT AND NOW COMPLAIN

fiasse.4762:

Do I look this young? xD

That chest poppin out of that top doesn’t look 16 thats for sure

And yet there is a guy in chat asking if it’s possible to loot a portal through the bandit chest to which you didn’t even respond…SMFH…..some members of this community…..

Yeah I can’t even chestrun as many crests as I have and they’re always overflowing so I have to buy the bags, but sometimes I don’t want to do that just incase….

I mean its so easy, its like any other dungeon honestly, the only thing different is agony, and that really has nothing to do with learning any sort of fight mechanic, just start from the bottom, obtain relics to put infusions on yourself, and get yourself ascended armor to do the higher ones. Done.

Purple Miku.7032:

I think it should heal more than it currently does and always have thought so.

As for the name you chose, yeah I guess it’s fine. I’m kind of impartial to it and don’t really care about what its name is to be honest. What I care more about is its functionality, and I agree with you about 30s cooldown maybe being a bit much.

Do you not know what ViM is? seriously? why are you even here

The 1 day crafting limit means that Bolts of Damask are profitable to produce. If you remove it, you remove any potential benefit from being a max-level crafter.

hardly profitable tbh, barely.

Then you obviously haven’t done much research. I’m making oodles of money from crafting.

http://www.gw2spidy.com/recipe/7309

by “oodles” you mean 21s per day off each damask? maybe a bit more if you had to grind for all the mats yourself? lmao, you have no idea.

Very sentimental and emotional post, with 0 attempts at a solution for the current situation besides the typical “I want xyz for free” approach.

Yes, ascended gear takes time to aquire (or a gold up when rushing it when buying off the TP). This is intended. That is even the reason ascended was added in the first place bringing scorn from all who hoped/expected exotic gear to be top gear.

If you demand instant/cheaper/free gear, then at least try to grasp the reason behind why things got implemented and propose sensible solutions. For example, you could suggest they add some type of token system which rewards tokens for each failed attempt at getting gear in order to reduce the stress from unlucky rng. Or you could ask for more methods of aquiring gear or some way to track different ways of aquiring gear and have them stack together. Similar to how WvW badges reduce exotic costs.

Here’s a hint for future threads. Don’t pick something that was implemented intentionally and ask for it to be reverted, especially when it’s part of artificially extending the games replayability, without offering something in return.

OP is hinting toward higher difficulty = more reward.

Currently the game relies very heavily on RNG and chance for drop values.

Here I quote you “If you demand instant/cheaper/free gear, then at least try to grasp the reason behind why things got implemented and propose sensible solutions”

Isn’t that pretty much what chance and RNG reward?

The gw2 white knight community is getting increasingly hostile and easily offended these days it’s truly incredible. I always say that I have been a gw fan from prophecies beta until now, and still am but blinded… I am not.

“It’s counter-intuitive (fail the event to have a chance for better loot) and creates toxicity among the playerbase . The result is not unlike old arguments in Queensdale.”

Defense vs people who want better loot? Isn’t the entire point of doing any of these events to obtain loot anyways? You’re basically stating it in plain that anyone who wants to do defense is a complete moron, why would anyone want to do that when the loot is to let the temple be taken?

To many arguments, generally speaking, there are pros and cons of every side… what pro do you have to justify defending a temple? None whatsoever.

Hahaha – AI improvements in gw2 ??

This comedian!!!!!

vinterberg.2783:

I would just send it without all that extra info.

If ANet ever banned me for that, I would rather abandon the game than having to add proof to a mail that are 100% legit within their system.

It’s like those people who doesn’t mind agencies spying on email traffic etc – just because you have got nothing to hide/done nothing wrong, doesn’t mean you have to bend over for authorities.

You just wanted to share your fortune with a friend, and if the mail could be sent within the gold limit then that’s really all there should be to it.

I’d agree with this btw. That’s what I did with my last relationship also.

SORRY CONSOLEBOY NO PLACE 4 U HERE HUEHUEHUE

why would you want to use a controller anyways? do you realize how much quicker and precise a mouse is? oh and idk if you noticed, but im pretty sure a keyboard has a million more buttons than a controller does….

smh i will never understand.

Ragnarox.9601:

Danikat.8537:

How lucky that is doesn’t really have anything to do with the time frame, it’s more to do with how many rares/exotics you threw into the Forge during that time.

Person A might consider themselves unlucky because they’ve only ever gotten 2 precursors while Person B has gotten 6. But if A has gotten those from just 10 attempts at the Forge while B did 15 attempts a day, every day for a week then A has actually had much better luck.

(And both are much luckier than average because I couldn’t be bothered dealing with big numbers at 11:30pm: 20% of A’s attempts succeeded, compared to just 6% of B’s, the real rate is estimated to be about 0.79%.)

First spent like 100 gold…and got dawn copy so i gott furious and spent 200 gold more on rares (rampager) and got dusk in i think first 20 tries…so i almost fall of my chair and promised friend if i get dawn i will send it to him, but i think in last 10 tries i got another dusk so i was shocked but promised him some gold and sent it to him. And then i tried staff for precursor but got nothing…:D

300 gold ~ 160 x3 ~ 480 rare gs

but i am affraid i will spend that gold again on mystic toilet…i like the feeling when i get something expensive there mystic addict

I can only imagine how you feel, but I will try to be your voice of wisdom and say that you got 2X MORE LUCKY than most people will be at all, so reap your rewards, spend wisely or invest, don’t try to proc again!!!!!

This is just sad and pathetic that a legitimate player would even have to go through these means to protect themselves.

Not everyone is as adept as OP being proactive and searching for information online etc, there are handfuls of players innocently sending money to their friends and get wrongly banned.

Necroing this thread because I am still suffering from this issue, and as far as I can see there had never been any dev response (one link to dev response is completely gone)

I want this fixed now, as the loading times in this game are ridiculous now compared to the 2-4 seconds they used to be towards launch.

IEximius.9204:

Make ascended armor base for some sort of legendary armor which can interchange their stats similar to how legendary weapons are. One, set.

While this is a possibility, and I did think about it, I decided not to add it to the options because I felt as though it would be making ascended armor do too much; recall that the inherent design is for it to yield almost unnoticeable/marginal gains for the sake of agony resistance. Doing this might make the armor for some players feel like a necessity or put extra stress on players to need to get a set of it, something which isn’t intended.

While I personally wouldn’t be opposed to it if it happened as an owner of ascended gear, I think it may be detrimental to the player base as a whole.

I’m just hoping this issue gets some attention and recognition; I blew huge account resources for ascended armor and omni infusions (Approx value ~4000 gold), and I know that others have as well. No kind of compensation is basically ANet coming out and stating they’re removing all Tyrian legendaries, even for players that already have them, and will not be replaced with any weapons.

Well it’s not really a necessity similar to how legendaries are not quite a necessity, sure there is a stat gain but think of the money you put into the entire ascended set, vs buying every stat distribution of exotics. it’s just one way to make it more player friendly and cost effective with the new changes

I’m sorry @ op for all of the people trying to counter your post.

It seems so very common in the GW2 forum for people to immediately act that way towards anyone being critical of “their” game.

Yes, this game does seem solo heavy pre 80. Unfortunately the world isnt as “alive” as it once felt during the beta phases and upon release, a lot of people have thinned out a bit and are playing endgame content. There are of course other people but it’s just not lively.

On top of that Gw2 bragged about “everyone gets their own loot, you dont have to party up for it…just join in on the event” which works when were at max capacity for every map and everyone’s running around slaying and chatting, but it is now a major contributor to people feeling a bit more lonely since no one is actually required to take the time to interact with each other before playing the game.

GW2 will not change, just like the mentality of several people who have previously posted in this thread, and its a shame but you have to get used to it.

They will make excuse to the extremes as if YOU’RE the one doing something incorrectly or playing incorrectly. “Don’t you have a guild” " We shouldn’t have to play a trinity/party up to play the content etc"

Just like when people say GW2 has a lack of endgame content for hardcores… “Don’t you have a guild” “Did you hunt every single achievement point there is.” “Did you explore 110% of the world.” etc
People will defend this game until the very end, but others like me enjoy the game but aren’t blinded fanboys.

It gets a bit better at 80 if you dungeon run for your gold, but beyond that yeah, nothing too party oriented or strategic to be quite honest.

Have something to work on? How about a job, and something other than this game….jesus, some people…

Hardly mandatory, you must not main mesmer.

Regardless, I don’t think eating the scrolls matters all too much right now.

I think anet is competent enough to know that we have thousands of these scrolls out and about so whether you eat them now, or forget to ( or whatever the reason in the future ) they will be converted into your account and will fill up the specialization tracks FIRST and then all the excess if you had enough to become full… are made into crafting materials.

Honestly I do not think they will let many of us lose thousands of scrolls because we 1) legitimately forgot to eat them or 2) just didnt understand and wanted to wait and see

Did they not have like 2 sales within a month? Is this a serious thread?

10 seconds in the pvp room and you’re crying? most of the time you don’t even need to look anyways

what do you mean? im not talking about pvp

You’re talking about finishing dailies.

smh.

10 seconds in the pvp room and you’re crying? most of the time you don’t even need to look anyways

Sadly thats what most of this game boils down to nowadays :/

That is awesome to see, and yes I do that as well, all my large bones go into making carrion krait slayers and that is the ONLY time i ever touch the mystic forge to gamble!!

So happy for you since I have never had a precursor myself. Its unfortunate that hard work doesn’t always pay off in the end in this game… in fact I hate it so freaking much. They replaced grinding in mmos with RNG which is so not cool.

Millions and millions of units of trash greens/blues, worthless rares aside from ectos, heavy rng… the entire loot system needs a rehaul from the bottom to the top, unfortunately I dont think we will ever see that happen and if by miraculous chance it does, it will be years from now.

They could’ve had my money if they made it an armor skin instead of an outfit…but I was willing to settle for this one, just once…

but then they decided to exclude the anise shoulders, and substituted the skirt with some poofy buttpiece? Are we some sort of exotic bird or something? seriously?

I have no clue what the reasoning behind that one is, but that is absolutely ugly so I will not be wearing this .

I think it’s more of a special snowflake item for certain pvpers

Leonhardt.8164:

no i hated gw1, i remember me and my friends were trying to find a good game to play together and after we went through some games we ended up trying gw1 factions, we played for two days and than we stopped, we thought it was this huge world but it turns out its just instanced areas, very linear and just garbage, we had no fun at all and we dropped the game like a hot potato, ive tried replaying factions again but i just couldnt do it, it’s so lame and boring, i hated gw1, we all just ended up playing WoW and my 8 year legacy began, it wasnt until last year that i gave gw2 a try and it was perfect, exactly what i was looking for, its what i thought gw1 was, i love gw2 now and i wish i wasnt put off so much from kittenty gw1 and tried gw2 earlier, point is, not only do i NOT miss gw1, i hated it with the passion, it was garbage

immediately stopped reading there

That’s keira knightly bro

Wait these tools are account bound?
I thought they were soulbound…. checking mine now…

Put them in your inventory and visit the black lion weapon specialist to convert to account bound.

oh my god you just made my day thank you

Wait these tools are account bound?
I thought they were soulbound…. checking mine now…

im not sure how they package them, i know the trilogy is a package, plus eye of the north, thats how I think my friend bought it back in the day, I don’t know if theyve got packages including eotn

queue with premade – watch the other team full of morons run around like chickens with their heads cut off.

This game mode needs to be activated purely for guild vs guild or tournament team purposes. It has no place in the ranked/unranked rotation as it is too easily accessible for the kittening idiots queuing up right now.

Anet development has never listened to the community, if it comes (which it wont) would make this game loads more playable and less of a hassle to switch between speedclearing/fractals/wvw (at least we have spvp that saves itself) but any builds in spvp you want to use differently you have to start from the bottom.

Just be surprised if it ever comes.

Pockets.3201:

They wouldn’t allow that. It would lower the cost and time gating of ascended.

which is ridiculous. Its an armor tier just like anything else, with a horrible percentage of stat increase as well.
It’s hard enough to get ascended armor pieces to drop in the form of chests anyways, its not like it’s something bountiful.
They require you to time gate the pieces you want, but they will throw random stat pieces with low drop rate that you most likely wont ever use, cant salvage etc.

Yeah, the rings im not too sure.

for example though, from the start, i went and crafted ascended zojjas armor for my mesmer.

Now that I have it, sometimes I will get a box of ascended armor, one piece here, just odd pieces, some stats that I don’t even have the desire to use. Those pieces should be able to be salvaged and return damask and used in something more favorable.

Jewelery is pretty simple to get so that I do not mind too much, maybe just some infusions or relics whatnot, either way, armor boxes and unwanted stat combinations on them should be able to salvage.

Miku.6297:

Hmmm, legendaries get enough for being legendary already. Also why would A-net want to limit their customer base on finishers so much?

Now adding more finishers with themes like this idea would be great! I LOVE YOU RAINBOW UNICORN ~

What do you mean get enough for being legendary already? All that grind for a skin, and maybe some footfalls and effects if you’re lucky.

The guy isn’t asking for any sort of game enhancing advantage here.

I could see this working, however anet doesn’t have the staff to pull this off nor do they even give a crap about it tbh.

Oh look, the obligatory “I put in effort for my armor set let me pretend im clueless and show it off”

Too bad its ugly. That’s why people dont have it.

Also, is that runescape?

The other day me and another player commented that we got 3/4 reward chests, we did not get the rare one. Neither of us missed an event. Not sure why that happened.

What is the point of not allowing us to salvage ascended drops for t7 mats etc?
I see no reason other than another artificial wall to slow players down from acquiring the right materials to make their set and increasing the value of said items.

All on top of this, damask is really freaking crappy to make. But…..everyone knows that.
