Guild Wars 2

Thanks a lot!

and what a shame….everyone is at ember now

Sorry for the topic again. But can someone shares if their world got a uncontested balthazar temple?

Thanks

FluffyDoe.7539:

…. but what ticked me off was that my party member seemed to think that “that was Anet’s intention by design”, and when we as a party couldn’t neither move on to the next section nor kill the Kholer (because they were all just getting pulled in and dying to Kholer’s spin), long story short – the experience became a painful one & some cussing occured between our party members before we parted our separate ways.

Just wanted to say that if your party get stuck on the path by not be able to finish Kholer, then why wouldn’t it be fair that your party work on the dodges and finish it. Mostly we skip only to save time. And IMO Kholer is a good yet simple dodge exercise which will be needed in the dungeons everywhere.
I mean… I would consider it as a “basic skill sets” for a player to be able to progress into later dungeons. Won’t u agree?

yesfourme.8906:

“I must be the unluckiest person on earth. I have run fractals over 230+ times and haven’t get a single ring drop.

May I suggest you that apart from running with the PTV set or Healing/Knight set of the armor, try to put some MF rune in it and have some MF food buf on?

It should at least give u one ring in every 10 daily chest….

For some class I think it’s viable with even more aggressive MF stats but it depend on your group. Bottom line is, you need some MF to boost up the process if you are after it.

I agree to the fixed team, however, most of us won’t have the luxury for that so I believe a good settings is enough to conquer the issues.
Have you considered checking the achievement points of the team? I noticed it being a good indicator for how “pve oriented” that player is. At the current stage you would expect a 2000+ player a good pver.

For fractals, there is a Fractal of Mists Thirty up Guild and also I believe they are ready to push up a Forty up one (though I don’t see much of the point other than the challenge since the agony resist at this moment will be for sure deficient at that level)

I think it depend on the server you’re at. So I’m in Sea of Sorrows and my current mainly represented guild Maximus is one of those kind (but most people there are Aussies). Maybe we could start a guild for that purpose, I find quite some good players during my fractal hunt.

1 ] Ascalon: ….. If you’re lucky to know a good mesmer will save you 5 min at the gate.

2] Dredge: ….. We always go back and forth to better utilize the banner and also with shorter run distance.

3] Jade maw: Crystal has unlimited range once charged. You don’t have to use it when u get the charge so that it buys you time to stock up. …… Try to stock up some crystals before u end the fight.

Please see my answer in line.

1] How does a mesmer get you through the gate/ save you 5 mins? It can portal you through a closed gate?

It would portal you through through the wall and go behind the gate, saving your time to knock down the good looking lady guard Dulfy. It doesn’t really matter that much since it’s anyway a easy fight up there.

2] which banner are you referring to? The warrior one you previously mentioned? (dont think ive been in an fotm that used banner at dredge yet). Is that banner placed right in the middle between the two cauldrons?

Yes. Myself being a banner regen build warrior will constantly pull it out for the team. Sorry for the ambiguity here. Another thing to add to this. So in the lower level when boss doesn’t pull out agony that frequent, going back and forth would save quite some time. However, since going back and forth will force you to have more interaction with the boss’s “agony effective zone”, in higher level I sense it is more viable through going circles. Again it all depending on the team and good team mates will make everything so much easier.

3] I still dont understand the crystal respawn/despawn times. I swear the game despawns crystals just as soon as i get the red death icon xD. What causes crystals to spawn (the vet adds?). Once a crystal is on the ground, how long does it stay there before despawning? If u pick one up and carry it for a bit and then drop it… does that fully reset the despawn timer or instead just where the timer was before you had picked the crystal up?

I’m not so sure about the despawn time for the crystals, pickup and drop may help as I do that and I see my team do that (but still can’t be sure of it). I would like to talk more about how u can dodge the shot: You want to dodge when the skull above your head disappear. With this tip I believe you can manage a quite high chance to dodge his shot (except for the last one…). I’m sure you’ll soon realize that jade maw is the easiest one after all, even with some lack of agony resist.

Strifey.7215:

I should have videos up soon of fractals to go with the other dungeon guides I have in my sig, but here are a couple of things you missed that make things alot easier:
…..
Again, should have videos up soon explaining most of this stuff.

Thank you so much for sharing. One general thing worth for agony, also as we all stated repeatedly in those notes. 900 is the distance for bosses agony shot other than jade maw. Bring out your 1200 weapon if you’re not fully agony resist equipped (10 for 10+, 20 for 20+, 30 for 30+, etc…)

I totally agree for those tips, especially for the Ascalon, the key to this fractal in the higher level is to save ur veteran to tank only one wave of mobs, so it is better to use the gate and lure them out. You may need to be patient since some ranger mob will just not come out of that red circle. When that happens just target one and nuke them down one by one. We need to take it carefully because sometimes our veteran will not properly respawn after the wipe which would eventually made it nearly impossible to progress with bad mob positions.

The hard thing about shaman is when the lava comes out, you need to find a really efficient way to mass AOE those lava down or at least cut them into lower health, and then break the boss’s bubble before he go eating a villager to regen the 25% hp. Yesterday I found one method to be very effective. Which to stack together in one side and put defensive / projectile reflection while aoe. The good thing about this is since you stacked together, lava will tend to gather towards you which makes the aoe very effective, while all of your party enjoy that defense wall. So a good guardian is pretty helpful on this one.

There is no much difference between the ice elemental or the dredge suit for battle dynamics. However, for the dredge suit his agony attack is clearly animated (the aoe pumping air). For the ice elementals I still couldn’t figure out what’s the animation for his agony attack.

Demeron.5423:

I belive the 2,4,6,8,10,12 is wrong I did lv 10 got my Chest then I did Lv 12 and afther That I did not get a Chest At all so im not sure wtf is up? or whats the deal but I did a lv 6 to help a guildie and I got a chest so im not fully sure what is wrong can anyone comment?

Refer to dev people. every 10 level is consider a “factor”, you can receive a daily bonus on each factor per day. In your case you’ve received the daily on factor 1, so no more daily for you. but you can do a lvl 8 to receive a factor 0 daily bonus.

Also if you check it I said you can get daily “once” every …

Hi All,

I’ve noticed that the stats for “traveler / explorer” armor set is wrongly scaled.

It’s taking MF stats as the main stats but it’s not scaling the main stats as for different part of the armor.

E.g, for the Strong (Power/Precession/Toughness), the stats for foot is: 34, 24, 24 where as the power being the main stats as 32.
The stats for the breast plate is: 104, 72, 72 (so every stats got buffed to 3 times on chest)
Stats also get buffed in leg piece and shoulder piece too

But if u check the traveler’s set (Magic Find/Power/Precession), stats for foot is: 3%, 24, 24, from here we can deduce Magic Find being the main stats.
The stats for the breast plate is: 3%, 72, 72 (here main stats is NOT being buffed as it should be for ALL THE OTHER kind of stats combinations, including berzerker’s set). The main stats should’ve buffed to 9% in theory or design pattern.

So my argument I don’t think it’s intended and rather an overlook for the design. Why would you design the magic find feature to a cap of 3% on all armor pieces? It also happens in weapon where it’s capped for 3% (where as the critical dmg is 9%, so it has nothing to do with % stat values. All the stats are reflected in a same design pattern EXCEPT for the magic find)

Conclusion: Only game designer would tell if it’s intended or not
If it is a bug, please fix it and I would be very happy to keep using that stats for farming purposes.

If it is intended, I would get my magic find stats from runes / food / sigils because using this set would potentially cost me a huge setback on the main stats (roughly 325% loss in the main stats which could be concluded as about 110 stats point). Especially for the FOM dungeon where u better have those stats to help out.

Thanks a lot!

Shammy.5846:

I went upto 20 without any agony resistance. Now at 20 I do recommend at least 10 before moving onward. Most of the bosses Agony attacks you can avoid if your know when they do them and you plan ahead so its not really required till later as you can still survive all bosses agony attacks minus Jade Maws if you have 20K hp and 0 agony resistance at lvl 20 and below FotM.

I think agony is tick by % of the hp so it doesn’t matter how much hp u end up having. I maybe wrong. Something might be helpful to fight it in jade maw: healing, water field with lots of blast finisher, mesmer’s Phantasmal Defender, ranger’s transfer dmg to pet, warrior’s battle standard to rez people up when downed, and worst case scenario reviving orb.

Prezzy.2783:

Basically, is the daily that keeps being referred to the chest you get after beating Jade for the first time that day in each tier?

That is correct. Most people are more concerned with tier 10+ onward dailies since that’s where the ring might drop. If you’re farming tokens then tier 0+ would also serve the purpose

Hi All:

Athena Nova @ Sea of Sorrows here, PvE / WvW lover. This thread may exist somewhere else but I decide to put some thoughts here and maybe gather more creative ideas. Let’s start:

Daily bonus: You can get your daily bonus once on every even level in 10+, 20+, 30+ … respectively. So if you’re at 20+ you can have 2 dailies.

Underwater adventure fractal: This is consider to be an easy one since the final boss’s agony is totally avoidable at ease. Use sparks as much as u could since it’ll greatly expedite the process of cutting down boss’s hp. Some tips: you maybe able to rez yourself in dolphin mode if you are just about to die, I’m able to do it once but don’t depend on it. Use the skills is way better

Subzero condition / snowfield: Again, this is a giveaway. The blizzard statue will put an air field which crack lightning in 3 ticks and launch you in air. When ice elementals come up kill the elementals first. And if you pay attention, the final boss’s ice storm is a parallel 3 wide line, middle, then left, then right. If you are late to the party, use the flag to port in.

Jungle, moss man / bloom hunger: The tree walls can be jump across at certain point. There is also a way to jump through spider eggs without break any of them (through rocks). You may want a member to clear the trap a head of you if it’s far away. Moss man fight: mass spread, range him. His axe is no longer than 900 so if you stay ranged and scattered (since the axe will jump around with agony) you’ll be okay. This is a good kite battle. Bloom hunger: take care for agony, don’t be in the water since it’s hard to identify the red circle. Else this boss is a cookie.

Ascalon: I always like the charr form. One thing to remember, don’t use repair canister here or you’ll crash all your team’s client. If you’re lucky to know a good mesmer will save you 5 min at the gate. Vets always follows the last person so check your group before initiating assault. Use tree/statue to block the balista, stay ranged and stay far. In higher level, those veteran warr can instant down u if you’re multi-targeted. Warrior’s battle standard can rez vet npc at the captain fight so use it.

Asuran: I hate the jump after lvl 10. Anyway… I got nothing to say about ettin champion. You can stock up energy cell before initiating the poison boss. Keep the fan going is most important. And if you’re lucky with a super ranger he would know another “awesome way” to do it but still wont’ be better if u just go by normal. Final boss: again and again, agony is short ranged and he’ll run around to local the closest target. You can kite him around pillar as it’ll help to block his projectile. Kite is a must as well as good dodges.

Dredge: After you find a way to the top (I suppose you know how). And after you break the reinforced door, you can lure the boss in out side the wall so that you don’t need to deal with the newly spawned vets. Champion suit / elemental is just a cake. We always go back and forth to better utilize the banner and also with shorter run distance.

Chained colossus: Let’s just talk about the arm. So initially there will be 2 novice in the left, try not to kill them too fast (or just not kill them at all) so that left will not respawn vets. You can always get the charge in the tunnel and do breaks. We always break the left 1st and then focus on the right only. Boss battle we all know how, after u saved the colossus, when he thanks to you, /bow back to him for some good manner

Grawl: This is not quite as easy, use the slope / platform when u enter to avoid being “outmanned”. Try to focus on vets 1st to save all 4 so that u get an extra chest at the place where shaman initially standing. Finally when u fight the legendary shaman. Try not to break his bubble too quickly so that you got some time to deal with the lava. Keep distance. Again he’s range is no more than 900 and he’ll raise his bow when he shoots the agony shot.

Jade maw: Nothing much to say. Crystal has unlimited range once charged. You don’t have to use it when u get the charge so that it buys you time to stock up. And never try to fight tentacles in the field. Or you’ll be infinitely launched in the air. Try to stock up some crystals before u end the fight.

Thanks all and more ideas is mostly welcome.

Thanks a ton! Finally some true dungeon masters up there.

So per agony wise you only need to spam that healing in the jade maw since that’s the only unavoidable one and also toughest one?

Looks like veterans are not exponentially buffed to become an issue then.

Wethospu.6437:

The whole point of pug is to get your party killed while you solo. And what achieves this better than Kohler?

No the whole point is to get killed during the boss fight and wait for the chest. Loot rules!

gw2lfg.com

Not perfect but worked. Thank god I still can do WvW while actively “looking for group/member”.

Oh yeah, Please don’t skip anything. I’m with my full MF gear on and please my team you should definitely farm with me.

Currently sitting at 30+, feels similar for a good team setup at 20+ (IMO guardian, mesmer, warr as a very good base team)

Would love to hear some of the people from 40+ sharing some info. Is veterans going crazy there or what?

And is anyone here reaching 50 yet?

sachiel.8051:

At this time, I don’t see the point in progressing past fotm 10. At 20, you get infused rings which ONLY have +agony on them. The infused pink ring base stats are exactly the same as the normal pink ring stats, which are an upgrade to exotics, and my primary interest in running fotm. If your only goal is to upgrade stats from exotics, why go further than doing your fotm 10 daily until you get the rings you want, craft up the stat’d infusion and enough vials to craft the back and stat’d infusion for that? Are exo drops better? Is there seriously any other reason to grind FotM above 10?

The reason I’m trying to progress to the higher level is because I like it. I enjoy the challenge and enjoy the game. I do have better drops and I managed to loot an exotic axe that I would like to use too.

It makes no sense to coming to the forum saying something is not worth doing IN A GAME! If it’s not worth playing then please don’t. It’s not a job, it’s just a game.

I would really like to see the forum not a whining ground but a sharing of good positive energy.

And honestly speaking when I’m in a pug and with my PTV gear on after a long boss fight (e.g. moss man), trying to stay on top of my game whereas my pug member (with MF gear as he told us later) just get defeated with one shot agony down lying on the ground for the most part. And he managed to loot off lodestones and exotics from the chest showing it off made me very uncomfortable.

Nobody likes the freerider.

I think OP should go to gw2lfg and just create a group specifying no running/skipping mobs.
I personally like to skip veterans mainly because I’m often not on my MF gear and they’re just not worth the time for me. I believe with a full MF set it would’ve been different.

As it happened to me in game with every Fractal of the mist underwater adventures…

The effect for the 6th rune is not working: shout is not removing condition

Please have a check thanks

Hexgame.4802:

Makes me wonder if anyone from Anet actually sits down and plays their game. Has any of them actually sat around and tried to farm 250 ectos or 250 T6 mats? Or even enough gold to simply buy them?

Not only is there a huge gap between exotics and legendaries, but now there is also a huge gap between exotics and acended which is required to run high level fractals.

Ever legendary owner have done that(500+ectos, full 250 all t6 stack) And there is plenty of people running around with their total gear / stash worth of of several hundreds if not thousands of gold. There was a period of time when the phlinx and penitent/shelter is not nerfed and ANet relieved the DR on loot. Earlier there was also time when there were no loot DR at all before phlinx becomes the “source of karma”. What Anet is trying to do is to extend the time span for people to get the top end gear. So that the gap(if there is a gap….) between a hardcore players and normal players is reduced. I find the profit for farming dropped a bit but there are alternative way to get gold. (new map, trading post). Just don’t rush with those all new ascending gear now. It’s only been a week…

LinseyMurdock.4165:

I am definitely working on the precursor scavenger hunt, but like others have said, things like this take time and I want to get it right. Not to mention, it’s not the only thing on my plate. Please do not expect to see the precursor scavenger hunt in the next patch. I may be awesome, but I am still only human and this is a fairly large amount of work to get done and done right. Please be patient!

That would be a slap in the face of those who bought their precursors and drop 100s of gold in forge like the ancient karka event was as well. YOU use that event on purpose to drop the cost of precursors another slap in the face. It is very apparent as you posted about it being your concern about the cost. So one or two weeks later do you make a event that dropped around 350+ precursors. Lets put this into perspective instance one you bought a game for 60 bucks 2 weeks later that game is free slap in the face no? So for the people your gonna screw over who worked there butts off trying luck in the forge finally got their precursor/ legendary how will you compensate them? To be honest If you keep doing stuff like that you really are going to ruin the game its been two month since the game came out those complaining about precursors there going to keep complaining because they want it for free remember that.

Don’t worry buddy. The price of the T6 materials and ectos will compensate us. As a matter of fact, more people getting precursor is the perfect timing to shift into other legendary related materials. So all in all, it still will cost a fortune to get it. It does expedite the process for those “hardcore” players who just throwing hundreds of gold trying to get the precursor. And for those lazy kittens who’s just whining their kitten off, they won’t get it for a long long time that’s for sure.

This maybe off topic. Just FYI you could preview items from this website and using “link in game” to preview it.

@ Magikker:

I did say I didn’t necessarily have an answer for you… lol.

Given ArenaNet play this role in the gem exchange, I’d say there’s probably no technical reason why they couldn’t do this for whole trading post, but I don’t think many players would react positively if they did so. There are numerous posts where people speculate about them manipulating the gem exchange, given some of the recent price spikes in ectos, T6 mats, dyes, we’d be deep in tinfoil hat territory if ArenaNet was the only market maker.

Let me add another piece of “anecdotal evidence” for you. Due to other commitments (work, family, etc.) I don’t have as much time to play the game as I would like to, so it sometimes feels that I’m not progressing my in-game goals very fast. I can usually manage however to log in when I’m getting ready for work in the morning and put up a few buy and sell offers. I don’t make a lot of money during from these sessions, but it does help me feel that I’m making some progress with the game even if I haven’t managed to find the time to level/explore/complete DEs/etc and the supplemental income has been useful to me while I’ve been levelling.

I couldn’t help to reply to you that I really like your altitude to treat things. Similar situations will happen for me too (not right now ;p). keep it up pal and enjoy the game!

I’m not so sure about the argument or the point we are making here. I think what you’re trying to say is that GW2 is lack of some content to really attach to the people. It could be anything besides trading post, legendary skins, dynamic events, world vs world. But for your friend leaving the game the reason could be more complicated than we would’ve known.

This is a very interesting discussion. Much to the extend of a personal interest. So it only depend on what you’re looking for in this game. Is it social recognition? Simple pleasure, fun? Pvp, sense of winning? Being smart, accumulate wealth? GW2 is more like a platform to those things and as for a platform I’m satisfied for the content it provided. There are definitely more work to be done and we can see it coming our way. I think this is more like a suggestion thread and how to make this game more attractive? There is nothing wrong with playing trading post, and botting is in it’s nature unfair in all senses.

Magnetron.5823:

Hi i recently bought a Dawn with loads and tons of hours, and also using ingame gems for 260g!

I was proud getting this far and finally got that piece of the legendary!! Wohoo right?!

But what do i read now? People tell me, sell your Dawn man! Sell it! But im like, why?

Because Anet changes price? I dont know what to do now. Sell or keep.

Can any dev please, and serious please tell me what i need to do now? If i see it on the next patch its worth 50g or so, you just robbed me 210g!

So please, i know you probally dont care about my problem and my concern, but i want to know what the change is so i can still sell it and dont lose to much money.

Thanks if you take your time to explain it to me!

If you are using it on your own I say why bother. I personally think ANet would change the way that precursor could be obtained and that way is guaranteed to be hard / tough which would be equivalent to the amount of time player could accumulate hundreds gold (200g IMO). It’s really not making sense to make it “easier”, only more “progressive” way to get it.

Legendary is a grinding no matter what. And it WILL stay in the pinnacle of the GW2 weaponry. So I would say, kept collecting more gold and keep your dawn. If you love Sunrise, it really doesn’t matter that much pal

Norn for the beauty of it!
Haven’t unlocked my racial elites / who cares about that skills. Gotta spam rage signet anyway.

Get a twilight and you’ll never feel bored. Just look through that window to the galaxy if you will.

Hi All,

I’m running power 20, arm 20, tactic 30 support build for wvw and dungeons. Main DPS is GS. With ranged, warhorn switch. Currently working on my knight set and PTV set.

I plan to use soldier rune on the knight set to make up for the vitality. What rune do u guys suggest on the PTV set?

I’m thinking of dolyak, Hoelbak, Strength, Rage, etc. etc. Since we have FGJ so crit change should not be too much a concern. And I really love to have the boon duration which is just awesome once u have a feel of it.

What do you think?

I think they already have something in-place. I wish whatever they come out should at least cost a player 200 hours to complete for the precursors. Otherwise legendary would be a joke

Great! With precursor easier to get I would expect all ecto, t6 materials will price skyrocketed. And should 50% of the people wielding a legendary is pretty awesome legendarily dull.
But, nvm, there would be new legendaries come in our way for the new grindings and people will keep complaining about the grind. yay~~

In my real opinion, 5% is perfect amount.

I won’t even say it’s more inclined to the buyer because if you put things up for sale and not be so god kitten greedy about what you get. It’s helps the market to stable and it benefits all. For the general population buying from the trading post and the traders like me playing the trading post.

Alarox.4590:

I agree completely. Take the really high price items for example, say precursors.

Let’s say the bottom price for X precursor is 350g and the lowest buy order is 200g, so you put yours up for 300g. An extended period of time goes by and nobody is buying. You would like to change the value you’re selling at to 250g, but in doing so your previous 5% listing fee of 15g is wasted, and you have to lose another 12.5g from an additional listing fee. The precursor prices stay high, and those that are selling are stuck.

---

Sure, remove the listing fee so that people can list at whatever price they want which surely will not make any panic in the market such as precursors. Because there is no risk at all you know?

Hey fellow monopolizers, come and we shall rise together without losing a dime.

I wonder if OP is claiming to be an economist and still not able to find it fun already to play GW2’s trading post.

My understanding is I find it utmost fun to play not only the game content and the trading post.

AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN I still need to claim that you DON’T have to grind to have the best stats. You are NOT UNDERPOWERED by any sense. A full exotic sets is easily achievable within a month I doubt you could find it in other MMORPGs. You only need to grind to be different looking COSMETICS. So you have a choice, please remember that, no one and no rational sense is driving you to grind.

And back to our topic for the trading post. The design of this cross server trading post is ensuring the minimum market manipulation and the free market. It’s one of the most if not the best design that I’ve ever played. Buy order, and sell order making the item value more tend to the true value because if it’s not. People will make profit out if it and competition will drive it to the true market value.

Having said that, there are always fun to find those market by observing the mechanism of the game as well as the general supply / demand. Good example are the butter hype, black lion chest hype (totally a hype doesn’t make much sense due to the “key is the key” reason), and the recent hype on lodestone and ectos. I very much enjoyed being part of the trading community and I could observe the other traders are competing with me on certain product which is again healthy to the market in general.

So my suggestion is, if you like to think more about the market and economy in this game. You could really have a BLAST fun out of it. So you might need to spend more a little bit more time to read and think about the investment you put into the market.

If you are claiming you’ve played 1000 hours (/age then u see play time 1000 hours?) “casually” and making only 3~5 gold a day then something can be done better here.

The general farming in north cursed shore will land you 2 gold / hour, for dungeon run, 1 run will land you roughly 30~50 silver (for the reward, token to get rare and salvage, and the loot).

So give it time and try to play more efficiently would help you on the road. Right now it’s EXACTLY incredible difficult to obtain but viable (you must’ve seen them running around you proving that even with all those so call difficulties it’s doable within 2 months).

Now to the unfair part, it’s how you see it. Lottery existed in real life too. It’s your choice to take the chance or spend the time. The point is, give the effort, you can get it. You just need a better way to mange your time to have better return.

Again, it’s been 2 months and we shouldn’t be expecting legendary to be owned by “casual” players. This is something you HAVE to work hard or be extremely lucky. If you have to argue about the luck part. I say good luck with it but it’s not my argument. I think you need to realize if you ‘re playing this game casually then you could expect your legendary to come within a year or so. It’s only up to you to choose the pace but this is something for sure doable. You need more patience.

Some of the top tier node respawn 5 hours while others 24 hours. Their location is fixed per build (server restart)

If it’s not there in the list. It’s not available as of now.

Thumb up for Kudzu. And more over, how she manage to register that name…

Allow me to add this: If you are aiming for the badges, then I would recommend you only do those in the high level chars for eternal battleground. Since the downscale on the result of the chest will reward you only a few (4~6 on my level 2 warrior) for your low level chars. Compare with borderland low level chars is better (4~6 as well on my level 2 warrior) compare to the rewards to a level 80.

Good question. Would want to know the actual answer to it. My guess is it would share the CD.

Kelvingts.2035:

1. Precursor, 300-400G = 2 months of 4 hour grinding a day = totally fine
a. It’s optional
b.This game is pretty much a endgame grindfest, so if you’re not grinding then you’re not playing the game.
c.Precursor consist of 25%-30% of a legendary, so 2 months sounds a little soon to get one.

2.Legendaries are beyond endgame achievements. Stat wise you can grind dungeons, badges, crafting to get the BEST possible stats for your characters.
a. I honesty don’t know how long guildwars 2 took to make, but if they took 5 years to make you should be playing for at least a year lol. IF you’re not playing for at least a year well then you shouldn’t be complaining about not getting anything beyond endgame.
b. If people are getting precursors or legendaries before you, its because they are LUCKY, working harder than you or it’s because they are more experienced than you are. Same with reality, If you ain’t winning the lottery, working triple shifts a day or if you’re not playing the economic market then why complain about the millions other people make?

3. Legendaries again, and well game hasn’t been out for 6 months yet.
a. Game hasn’t even been out for 6 months you expect to achieve something at the highest honor without considering the amount of time you have invested.
b. Just because you spend an hour of your life grinding in a game does not quite mean that each hour grinding is equivalent in value as an hour of your reality.
Example: You are a doctor, you make $120/hr in reality. You grind in game and make 2g/hr. Well lol, it’s a game if you think its a waste of time …time to gtfo?
c. Who the kitten thinks no skills are require to make a legendary is kitten LOL The only agreeable by all type of skills you can obtain from this game is Structure pvp. If you want awesome skins base on “skills” go to spvp.
c2. The closest thing to “skills” in pve which isn’t agreeable by all but the majority because of some idiots here is grinding & Jump-quest. Both in which is either required or can help into the road of making a legendary.

4.Anet doing anything about botters and gold sellers? What?
a. Inflation is obvious to every game, just because you see precursors at 70g or even 10g a month ago does not mean that they were going to stay. Looking at the housing market, I live in san francisco and Housing from 99 to 06 went from average 200k – 800k. lmao Thats a 4x increase in “REAL money”
b. Precursors at 300g is price set BY THE PEOPLE and it’s market. If the market has obvious idiots to sell them at 70g, it means at the very moment he/she expects that to be the worth. Stop complaining about how much a precursor is truly worth, who are you to judge how much they are worth?

I pointed out exactly what players who reject the “precursors must be nerf in price” think.
If you’re complaining about precursors, you will always be complaining about it until you get one.
Anet made the game already, hardcore or even Lucky players have made precursors and even legendaries, WTF are you doing?. Why should anet stick a middle-finger to players who proved legndaries possible with the current market just to make you guys who cry and complain to wipe your tears.
MAN up

Extra:
Anet = government
Hardcore players = hardworking businessmen
Market players = Investors
Lucky players = lottery winners
Botters = druglords
You guys = ________ [you decide]

only thing I see left is “whiners”

I think there is nothing more I wanted to add to it. Well put in every aspects.

Why would so many people hate this guy? I just dislike the sound of him being so plain. I like Tybalt.
I haven’t played through my story line (saved it till I got my legendary). Maybe if I do I’ll get the idea

I have no problem with any of the personal quest. And i’m a necromancer, the most bugged/broken class in the game( for some )

Thank you for your input, please tell the rest of us what build and storyline you chose so that we can learn from your awesome.

LOL on this. You made my day

So that friends can train their combat skills and also enjoy the pvp content?

It’s actually something in WoW that I liked even though I didn’t do it often but I do practice with friends sometimes.

What do you think?

It’s a pretty nice system actually by assigning the point and limit on the total points earned within certain period of time. It’s obviously quite hard to implement since the overhead of the data is just huge. The good thing about the system is if it’s implemented everything goes automatically.

I just think ANet won’t have the extra resource / man power to do those implementation and customer calls. The current reporting system is pretty handy and will kept them busy for quite some time.

Nice idea though.
