Guild Wars 2

As an introvert I have to say the partying up with others for a pug run of say fractals is totally fine and enjoyable.
My issue is voice chat, ppl and guilds who hangs out in ts servers and enforce it on others is where I draw the line. Sorry, I am not interested in shooting the kitten with strangers, I have better things to fill my down times eg podcasts, movies etc.. I can see in a raid setting voice comms being useful but its dreadful to me.
Raids will not be in the menu for me until it can be done in a fractals setting, where you bring your personal knowledge and thats enough, else I am fine with skipping raids.

I find it extremely strange, and somewhat insulting that the devs flock to reddit time and time again and aside from Gail of course, completely ignore the OFFICIAL forum.

Lol.

Amaimon.7823:

So, my main character Nikeita was made in the very first hour Guild Wars 2 ever went live, including the three days headstart. So give or take a few minutes, it should be EXACTLY as old as the game.
But I logged in today to find her 1459 days old. So I think yesterday’s rollback actually made me a day younger. Which means I didn’t get my birthday gift.

Now, it’s not much of a problem, since I’ll get it tomorrow, but its more of a sentimental problem.
This means that from now on; I, who have been around since GW2 opened servers, will from now on always be a day late, forever damaging my image.

But in any case, I asked in the map chat, and it turns out a lot of people has this problem, so a lot of personal images have been permanently damaged

Its a video game.. (Theyre only pixels)

Im sure they know this already. Problem is they are not competent enough to get it done.

Mushuchalaka.9437:

I actually like the expansion and like the direction its going.

Like 2hr window events? must have alot of time in your hands.
Like the gemstore meta? Here the same wings but pink this time!
Like the joke of pvp league? EEEEspahtsbois
How about the WvW scene? lol.
Exactly what direction do you speak of?

in resume:
Seshi was a decent player who was one of few to put out watchable content.
After thousands of hours and 3 years he decided to quit.
But decided to do so by using a mix of valid points and childish behavior.
Community didnt respond to him quitting as he expected so he proceeded to further flame and throw a tantrum.
This community will remember you as an infant and is all your doing.
Personally Thank you for the content and hope you grow from your mistakes good luck!

So I am in legendary division, have the primordial legend title but I am stuck at part III 10/11 due to league champion being 2/3 only done. What am i missing?

Ive cleared the content in every class. I feel like its a refreshing experience, to have to antecipate attacks and you know, time your dodges etc.. Maybe a bit more casual game will suit your style better. GL!

It lost its effects and is now named winter’s presence. Anets ability to release broken patches amazes me. I am this much closer to uninstalling this..

The only people who would have a problem with this are the ones who expect to be carried and refuse yo gear up properly. If a guild asked me for this info, personally id view it as a positive thing. Helping guildies is great as long as they are willing to take direction. Then again maybe ive carried one too many dead weights in my zerk only pug runs, so im a bit saltier towards such people. +1 for gear checks!

Fuzzy Butt.6945:

I have the same issue with Nightfury (as do many others), but I’m also noticing that my show mini check box will randomly uncheck itself too. Maybe they’re related..?

I noticed i have that problem mostly in open world, so im not sure if its a feature like the mini that hides to save resources or what.

Urosh Uchiha.9732:

And how exactly are they bugged? By saying they are bugged and not explaining how and posting it in the bugs section of the forum doesn’t help anyone.

fixed it for you

-Visual effects will disappear when wp’ing/getting in combat/for no reason at all-

Its kind of kitten to spend a boat load of gold on items that are broken.. Anet please look into these issues so ppl will still be inclined to part take in your new gold sinks and be happy about it. Grazi!

You should probably move this thread to the necro section.

Chiry.5432:

If u want to get gold, I suggest u stop doing any of the new content and head to that spooky spoooky halloween labyrinth! 10+ gold per hour easily from there… that is some fun and challenging content right there, it might even give you nightmares!!

The current version of the lab is a kitten compared to last year. There’s less loot and ppl willing to even do it. But 10g per hour is huge for the current state of the game though.

There is some variation there, but it is FAR from the liquid gold infusion we were promised to offset the balance of the decline of dungeon income.

That! But we know the why. Buy Gems and convert to gold.

You obviously dont know how the gem exchange works, so its pointless arguing with you.

Then dont?!

You don’t feel any remorse declaring a fact without any knowledge of said fact?

I’m very curious

No, just didnt feel like beating a dead horse.

So by answering no, it is safe to assume you understand that converting gems into gold does not create liquid gold….

Assume what you wish. I never claimed buying gems created gold, I said anet wants you to buy gems if you want a chunk of gold now that its not viable to farm it in game at any decent rate. Where the gold comes from was never an argument. That said I rather not engage with know it all and self promoting attitudes.

If you take a closer at our economy, the only thing that effected the pricing of items in TP are items associated with upgrading guild halls. So the removal of liquid gold from dungeons did not effect the prices of high priced skins.
What you are viewing as a problem of removing gold from dungeons is merely people allocating their funds from shiny personal purchasing to contribution in purchasing items for the guild hall nothing more nothing less.

You have a valid point on guild hall items price, but regarding high ticket items and even medium ones is that the amount of gold a person can make on a game session is a fraction of it was thefore it does impact said items. Actually impact all items which is good in many ways but bad for veterans who will loose a big chunck of their personal gains stuck in the tp.

We got our 4th or fifth upgrade done this morning in our guild hall and the only gold we had to pay was the 100g for the claiming expedition, i wouldnt call that a huge gold sink.

The mats used to upgrade to GH dont cost any gold to create (unless they are untradeable vendor items), they get created by investing time. The only gold sink for this is the 15% fees and taxes, if you decide to buy it from there rather than farming it yourself.

False.

How’d your guild get those runes of holding for 18 slot leather bags? Or the 200 small runes of holding that are required on one of the upgrades? You have to spend gold to get them, there is no other way. Elonian wine? There are definitely more material sinks to the upgrades than there are gold sinks, but the gold sinks are there, too.

Some ppl in these forums will fight you on their point even when is clearly wrong or misguided. Better off ignoring some posts in my experience. I see your point btw.

And that’s my point. Most rare things I’ve seen are crashing, most notably crafting materials.

The point some ppl in this thread seem to ignore is that dungeons were the absolute highest liquid gold generated in game. The sw farm excuse falls on its face since the farm does not generate gold only mats and items. So with less ways to get gold = lower prices on everything which is good but screws over ppl who earned their items for sale at the tp that will now cost them to relist and at a much lower price. My main gripe here is that, soon ppl who spend real money for gems to gold conversion, will have more gold than players who dont. That creates pay to win scenario which in gw2 would be pay to skin.

What you keep ignoring is that overall gold faucets havent been nerfed, they have been shifted to content that anet will focus its development ressources on in the future, for example fractals and raids.

They expect a higher percentage of the player base to participate in that content compared to the players that used to run dungeons.

So even though individual gold rewards for people that used to run dungeons might get nerfed, the overall gold supply will stay the same because many more players will earn more gold rewards from playing their favourite content.

Lol shifted? A dungeon tour yielded 50g a frac daily run is 5g your math is wrong bud.

Not if 10 more players run fractals for every player running dungeons in the past.

Look, John SMith made a Q&A on reddit after he put the blogpost about economical changes, where he explained this.

You should check it out

Meh.. Im not a sheep and im calling as im seeing it. Goals are pointless with poor or wrong execution.
I love GW2 and have faith the devs want the best in general but opinions shouldnt be biased based on attachment to someone or what/who they are.

Leamas.5803:

The reality is that ANet wants you buying gems and anyone that argues the gems come from people converting gold to gems is deluded because that the imply a limited amount of gems and I guarantee that if someone came along and wanted to spend an obscene amount of money on gems, they would be available. The conversion rate will only drop so far before people will start refusing to buy gems, so of course ANet will control this threshold to keep the sales flowing. There is an infinite amount of gems hence an infinite amount of potential gold in the economy. I know people who buy gems monthly, like a subscription fee. Conversely, I know very people people who willing convert gold to gems to buy something in the gem store. Certainly some people do it, but in no way as many people who buy gems.

In game vendors, coin loot drops such as dungeons and gold farms compound the problem because the gold comes out of thin air adding more gold to the economy and there simply aren’t enough sinks to control the amount of gold. So, in that vein, I think a contraction of the gold available in game will generally be good from most players, with the exception of those who have piles of gold tied up in the TP.

Thats exactly my point. However, the whole gems to gold being the only viable way to get gold at a decent rate is sure to drive ppl away fast and kitten off ppl who had anything of value on the tp. Its not all good news im afraid.

HenleyLegoMan.4987:

First of all, let’s look at this with regards to real world economics:

If a money supply is contracted ( meaning less of that money around ) then items become more expensive. With less money in the system, few people can afford the things they need.

If there is too much money in circulation, the opposite occurs as trades and sales flow easier because all parties have access to enough money to be able to afford those things.

What Anet have done to the market is twofold and its effects will be felt by its currency users. Here is how:

Anet control the value of gold to gems and gems to gold. You may hear or have read that Anet do not control this, or that exchange rate is determined by supply and demand. It is not. Supply and demand is not the issue here as there is NEVER a short supply of gems. If there were a limited amount of gems in circulation this would increase demand and people would be paying a lot more for them.

Then we have the nerfs to loot, across the board as well I might add. So as people spend the gold they earned pre nerfs, there begins to be a shortage of gold in the system. Anger have taken it out.

They have taken it out because they want you to buy gems to convert to gold, but what is strange here, is that while there is less money in circulation from events/dungeons/fractals etc, Anets supply of gold NEVER decreases. Yet the cost of gold to gems gets higher and higher. Which over time, even gem buyers who exchange them
For gold have been getting less and less gold for their real world cash.

A contraction of gold is in play here and I do feel it will have a serious knock on effect in game.

This is my personal opinion on this topic.

+1 but go tell it to the forum “pros”

Doam.8305:

Damask Patch was added to existing recipes
Liquid Gold removal

There removing gold while increasing the prices of goods and older recipes
Also player time as some people logged in simply to run dungeons and it isn’t a hard concept to grasp that some people log on for a single mode of play. Less gold means less dungeon runs which means less legendary weapons since people need to farm shards. We have precrafting and pres are dropping in price but the crafting is more expensive than the decline in price so some precursors will sharply rebound. However without dungeon runs the weapon gifts will be harder to craft and less gold from runs means less peopel buying goods on the TP.

Our TP is far from perfect and goods can be left to rot on the market for months tha gap between the rich and poor will widen dramatically. This isn’t a market at there is no true supply and demand here it is all digital and all controlled by Anet they control the supply of items and with the single stroke they control the demand. Damask Patch wasn’t needed to craft ascended but now it is because anet wanted to control the demand for leather.

The only ones able to purchase goods in the future will be those converting cash to gems and those who do so through gold sellers. The average man the so called middle class is left behind to rot with this new changes to the market. You can’t even buy and sell dye for gold with the 3 year birthday gift they implemented.

Thank you.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

You making poor investments does not mean the economy is crashing.

I made a good amount of gold from these changes, my net worth is increasing, so therefore the economy is doing awesome and not crashing.

I made lots from the changes also that’s not the point. If you had any gold invested in the economy you lost some period.

The market is changing and the prices will reflect it over time. Probably better off waiting a bit before crafting the new precs.

“will said crash be good for the game?”

There’s a lot of rhetorical charge in that statement, lol.

The economy will be fine. We’ll see some definite change in the economy, but hardly anything to be called a crash.

Well lots of ppl with high ticket items on the tp will loose thousands of gold, in my case I will have 3k gold stuck in the tradepost forever or loose hundreds if gold by relisting. Thats somewhat a crash, since it affects a large portion of players.

In other words, because you have one or more high priced items listed, this shift in the economy that might hurt you means the economy is going to crash. Remember, making an sweeping conclusion based on your particular case is not always justified.

Your wrong. As I said, it affect anyone with items on the tp in different scales.

We’ll see. I have trouble believing that your conclusion that some high priced skins having to go down some in price will crash the economy though. Your pocket book getting hurt isn’t my pocketbook getting hurt isn’t the economy crashing.

With anets action in slowing the liquid gold generated into the economy, most recently dungeon rewards. I cannot help but see a huge crash in everything in game, will said crash be good for the game? Or will we have a archeage scenario where ppl who buy gems and trade for gold will have a leverage over those who dont?

paroxetine.2107:

So I have a trilogy copy of Guild Wars 1 which I bought some time ago(and intend on buying EOTN depending on how responses to this go) and was wondering – what’s the possibility of completing HOM achievements in GW1? Is it still possible/plausible? – I’ve just started into GW1 and to my surprise, I’m actually loving it, its hard, freakishly wierd and totally different all in a really enjoyable way.

I guess I’m more looking for assurance that i wont be completely wasting my time? That also being said im still having fun, so i guess its not really a waste regardless.
I don’t mind putting time and effort in, as long as those achievements are still all do-able without the help of a ton of other players – because from what i have seen so far its pretty bare, the odd person here and there but that’s about it.

Any help/information would be great.

Thanks

Will keep it in mind, I bought Guild Wars 1 just for the skins you get from HoM tbh – farmed up to 10 points to get the Fiery Dragon Sword as a RT/R.

Had some enjoyful moments, extremely boring doing it entierly solo though.

Stopped continuing since i got rekked in the underworld(?) on my hunt for the blackwidow, and since i had to farm out rep for the factions or something to get some elite skills, which would take me weeks of farming alone since i find no players >.<

But will keep it in mind if i decide to go for more points, i’m full greenie in GW1 with a total of 91 hours played.

I know the feeling! I would definitely help you out just pm me in gw2 if you decide to go for it.

I thought this was gonna be some cheap way to get all the rewards. :/

Haha gwamm is the ultimate title theres no ez way to glory my friend!

Prior to january this year i had never played gw1 but the skins and the gwamm title were something i envied whenever i saw it on someone else. So i jumped in and am happy i did! Gw1 is an amazing game and still very much alive. The journey is significant, but doable i did mine very casually btw. If anyone is interested pm me in game and i can asnwer any questions you might have and help with gearing and such.

erm.. im not “hexediting” but suuure. The answer im looking for is such as multiwars is allowed and such and such is not so we are not guessing what is ok thus putting our accounts in jeopardy. I myself open my 2nd acct on a laptop but its very clunky way to do it.

It would be really great for us and lucrative for anet if they would care to clarify this topic to us…

Please fix this!

Please remove cripple from hyenas. You already get slowed down when they hit you anyway. It’s just frustrating. Even on my warrior using “Charge” I just can’t stand it.

I don’t know what’s the point of this. Is it to annoy players? Because this is in no way challenging. It’s just frustrating.

Maybe there are some players who enjoy getting crippled every 1 or two minutes while running on the map. Maybe they’re even really into getting pushed back by randomly spawning teragriffs when they try to open chests. I personally don’t and I hope the majority doesn’t enjoy it neither.

Pro tip l2dodge.

The amount amount of nonsense from op is too kitten high! Anet has spoonfed pvers and this is the result. When 99% of new items introduced to the game aside from the gem shop is through some mindless pve experience nobody bats an eye, now add a handful of SKILL required rewards pvers loose their minds!
