Guild Wars 2

Ascari.2839:

Hooray, I’m barely or no player because I’m only using that skill as my elite.

In all seriousness, I’m a Norn Ranger and my play style is mostly ranged. Out of all my options I find the Mistfire Wolf to be the most useful. Besides, I like the looks of the Mistfire Wolf and his pups and they saved my skin already in so many situations when I needed extra damage or more pets to take the heat off of me so I could heal up/rally.
I did get 2 other elites (Rampage as One because it is the only one working under water and Become Wolf to try out a more hands on melee elite) and they have their uses, but personal preference let’s me use the Mistfire Wolf as long as I’m not under water.

And for your other points: I’m with Elle on that one.
Every pre-order has the skill and you can save lots of skill points if you don’t get any other elites. Skill points that in the end can massively shorten the time it will take you to get 200 and buy the Mystic Forge item to get legendary weapons.
If you [note: general you, not you Joxa] are not interested in the Mystic Forge or Legendary weapons, then I suppose my last point is moot.

Oh ok thats good to know. I guess its useful depending on what race and class you are playing.

Elle.8064:

Technically, you paid for the skill and other various things with this edition (I bought this as well) but the trade off for the skill is that it was an automatic elite skill that you didn’t need to invest points in to receive. So, in essence, you didn’t need to have saved up the other skill points to get one of the other elites to use when you turned 30 (I saved points, but maybe it was just me).

I didnt think of it that way. I guess you are right.

Please reduce the cooldown time on the Mistfire Wolf skill. I dont find that the current cooldown of 240 is worth what it does. People did pay more for this so at least make its cooldown more representative of what its does so that we could actually use it. Im pretty sure that there are barely if not no players using this skill. Summon Fern Mastif is similar to this and its cooldown is only 180 and its duration is longer!

It would be extremely convenient if the Vendors and Trading Post displayed the amount of whatever item we already currently contain.

I often find myself wishing that Zone Completion showed in the Map Screen based on which zone is currently being viewed on the Map and think that would be a nice feature to implement in order to keep track of progress.

Well, my autoloot bug was fixed. Now just to be patient for them to fix the Mistfire Wolf skill.

Melana.8345:

For drop differences: Is there a difference in character levels between the two of you?

The reason I ask is because one of the game “hints” (as shown in the hint section in the menu bar at the top of the screen) is that if you kill creatures of a higher level than your real level (not the downscaled one), you will have a higher drop rate of good items. If you were a higher level than he was, and the enemies were in between your two levels, this could have contributed to a difference in the type of drops you were both getting. i.e. Was he killing enemies “higher” than his actual character level and thus had an inherent magic find boost that isn’t shown as a buff?

Otherwise…RNG is random, you do get runs of good/bad stuff.

Ohhh ok thats probably it then. I had no idea thats how it worked.

Thanks!

Eochaidh.4106:

Sorry, but you’re seeing issues where there are none. There is no gameplay difference between deluxe and standard.

what do you mean im seeing no issues? his autoloot has thumbnail icons with item names which appear where as my autoloot does not do that.

Halmo.8619:

The difference in drops was probably just where he was some areas have a higher drop rate than others. Also the thing that shows the items on the site when you autoloot has nothing to do with your version I just have the basic pre-purchase and it shows up like that for me.

Oh ok thats good to know then thats its just mine. I guess ill try to reinstall it or something.

And We were partied in the same area doing the same quest. Probably just bad luck thats all.

Thanks!

Greetings,

You have to activate the Auto-loot features through the F11 “Options” menu. With this feature active, your loot will pop up as icons in a system message in the lower right of the screen.

I already stated that i had autoloot enabled.

Yeah i didn’t think the drops were and issue. Unlucky me I guess that’s all. Thanks for letting me know.

Does anyone else who has upgraded to deluxe experience the same issue? I know its not that important of an issue but i still hope it’ll be fixed.

I was watching my friend play on his account (which was a deluxe pre-purchase account) and i noticed when he had his auto loot on that the items would appear near the bottom right hand side.

My account is a Deluxe Upgrade and that does not happen for me when my auto loot is on. Nothing is displayed for me.

I am also unable to unlock the Mistfire Wolf skill on my main character. He was created prior to the upgrade. When i created new charactes i noticed the Mistfire Wolf skill was not greyed out anymore but i do not want to restart my main because he is level 36.

I am not sure if this is relevant as well but when i played with him we noticed a huge difference in drops received, him recieving tons of blue and green named items where as i would mostly recieve white items and trophy and collectibles. He does not have any mf what so ever and neither do I.

I wonder if there are other things which are different between both versions. Has anyone else encounter this type of issue?
