Guild Wars 2

Here’s my demon charr thief. Born from the ashes of primordus.

Upgrading wont be possible… I cant make nor i cant afford making a ascended version. so yea.. I just hope they just fix it back like how it was.. If they change things where people cant profit from then i understand that. But now they make it worse than how it was.. with no reason at all really..

i see that they changed that on the wiki as well. But i was sure it was acc bound till the exo version!. I know for sure since i used it on my ranger first ( since i created it on this char) and later i used it on my guardian….

well uhm like i said it wasnt souldbound on use.. even the gw2 wiki said it was accoundbound.. Only the ascended was soulbound on use.. I couldnt believe it at first so…

So, When i discovered that the spinal back piece was acc bound till the exotic version ( even after wearing it) i instantly made a backpiece for myself. However i was wearing it on my guardian till today. And i discover its suddenly soulbound on my guardian.

I dont like this a little bit at all… Why make it acc bound first and after that make it soulbound?

Ah ok Thx that would be better and more efficient then.

Alright the problem got fixed somehow.. I can now click on next at the paysafecard option so now i can buy a 10 euro card and use it for 800 gems. .Thx for all your suggestions!

yea i know, but i want to pay via paypal ( via ideal) so i add money on a paypal wallet with ideal. The problem however is that i can only add a minimum of 25 euro.. so that would destroy the whole purpose of buying 800 gems

Using paypal is the same as buying a gem card 25 euro so it would be unlogic to make paypal for that

SandraSolace.7682:

Jeroen, Nederland has some very good websites that sell gem cards, only problem would be that they only sell cards for 2000 gems at 21-25 euro (depending on where you shop).

Those can be bought online with iDeal. For now that would be the only option besides for example paypal. Only problem would be the amount of gems and the costs.

Yes thats what i said.. I quess that will be my only option. So anoying to see that US developers think that everyone has a creditcard. Well 2000 gems i think will be it then.. I want a unlimted axe somethime anyway so yea.. :S

Not going to try that, they only use it for vacations..

Hi,

I want to buy 800 gems via ideal since thats the way for me to pay things online. But that option is not availble, i can only pick a creditcard wich i dont have since im 17, and there is one german option?? creditcard i think as well.. So paypal and paysafecard are only left.. Problem is i just need 800 gems for now and thats 10 euro, i can put money on a paypal accound but the minimum for that is 25 euro, so thats still useless… And then there is paysafecard. I can buy a 10 euro card but when i click on paysafe card i cant click on next.. So yea the only way to get gems is by buying a gem card online wich is 25 euro for 2000 gems, and i dont need 2k gems right now… Can someone help me with this, or can ideal just be implantent for dutch people…

Thx in advance

That would be a cool title +1!

Hi,

Is the spinal blade backpack accound bound or soulbound. I though that the whole thing was soulbound on equip, but now i see that the backpack stays accound bound till ascended version, with that being the only soulbound on equip one. Is this right?

Hi,

I was wondering if its possible to drop yourself off at the point where you used the ticket to get on the ship. Like if i used it in kessex hills i can transport myself back to kessex again from the ship ( without using wp). It would seem logic since it can pick you up from there in the first place.

And second, those skins are 1 time use only right? Do they make armor accound bound or is it still use it on 1 caracter and nothing more.. Since with acc bound i can swap it to other accounds as well. Would a endless version of 1000 gems not be possible.. or maybe adding a endless transmog stone for 1000 gems to the gem store? Since now i have to use a stone every time i find a new piece of gear for my 55 elementalis..

oh man, I’d suggest to wait for lvl 80 to go crazy with skins, I used to put skins every 5 levels on my alts, but it was way too expensive

But you can use transmog stones there.. but still waiting to be lvl 80 to use a skin once.. i dont want that..

Well, since nobody wants a seperate gem store. ( i dont know why but okay..) i came up with a diff idea. Give us a recipe for the skins to craft. So you get the skin the first time and after that you can craft it again for other character with the recipe. ( no limted use materials like snow etc…) One of the major downsides of gw2 is that every new content is gem store stuff. Its hey.. new weapons… ow its rgn… hey new gear… ow gem store. Why not give us a bit more PERMANENT stuff that we can get from bosses in dungeons etc… or recipes that drop that have gear for lets say 60 or 80 ( doesnt matter) but wich looks different. That way everyone looks a bit different, and its only a win for the people who like it and not a loss for those who dont. Why spend mutch time on awsome looking stuff when only a small percentage can get/ afford it?

Btw, adding a ‘special’ permanent thing to a real money gem store gets rid of a part of the gold sellers, and more money to anet instead of botters. ( since if you are going to buy gold from sellers for gems, why not buy a better version for the same bucks then a non perma version?) ( and if then the problem occurs that everyone only buys stuff a single time since its perma and that they will run out of a stable money stream… well they add enough stuff everytime in the gem store as well as armor.. All new armors have been gem store till now( exept acended) so yea people ( like me) will buy them deff. ( still needs some more permanent ingame armor additons and content but thats another thread)

sorudo.9054:

i would like to have more gems when i pay with real money, the exchange rate only gives you a loss anyway (when changing it to gold) so it will only make buying gems with RL money more attractive.
also, P2W only exists when you have an advantage over someone else, does a skin give you an unfair advantage?
no, it’s just something you want, an inconvenience, not P2W.

I had this plan in the beginning as well. Getting more gems for your 25 euro. That seems a pretty simple thing but to change all the gem cards in the ‘whole’ world is i think a bit harder. And isnt just this ( gold to gems depens on people that buy gems with money) that shows that less and less people buy gems with money and more and more buy it with gold. For me the 8 gold per 100 gold is too mutch to handle. And that is to bad since i would really want to buy those skins. Other thing is that they overprice everyting as well. Like its a standard everything is 800 gems but yea…. So why not do something simple thats doesnt hurt anyone ( right?) Its not that they will sell legandaries for 80 euro or something…

Flissy.4093:

I thought about this a while ago, adding cosmetic items as a seperate, real-world “diamond” currency. It’s a fine idea, but P2W items would eventually encroach into this new system, much like it’s began to with gems, so should be permanently left without.

So only skins and non usable stuff permanent. ( i dont get it why everybody isnt wineing about the permanent tools then but okay… ( not trying to be rude or anything). Since ive noticed that indeed people would complain if transmog stones for instance would be ‘permanent’ But you have permanent tools, salavage stuff etc..

First of all, im not crying about stuff other people have that i dont have. i have bought gems with gold many times, but sometimes i did it with real money. Im just saying that that didnt gave me a feel that i spended my real money good, since i can get it with in-game gold as well. And if i wanted to cry about stuff.. you would see me all around the forum crying about legendaries since i dont have one.. So no i dont cry about stuff. Im just asking about a improvement for money payers, since atm there is not a single reason to buy stuff with money apart from doing ‘the right thing and helping the devs’. And: ‘other people have more ingame stuff then i do’ no sorry im not a baby, i have all halloween town clothes and thats more than enough.

btw: i dont think stuff in the gem store isnt’t worth it, since if thats so i would never bought ‘useless’ town clothes, im just saying its not worth the price range of 10 euro for its current state. If only the word’ unlimited useabilty ( like achiev stuff) ’ would appear it would deff be worth it. thats all im saying….

TooBz.3065:

Most people would object. The only thing that keeps the gem store from being a p2w issue is that you can buy gems with gold.

I’d actually like this to get rid of that excuse. The gold to gem conversion is ludicrous for an average player, so while in theory anything can be bought with in game gold, in practice it can’t be. This leads to the same issue being brought up every time something in the gem store is overpriced. People complain about the gold cost, then are told it isn’t for them, its for people spending actual cash.

Separate the store and we might actually get cheap items back that encourage people to spend $10 to get the item and have gems left over. No worry about lost sales through people converting. No excuses about it not being pay2win because you can, hypothetically, get it with in game gold.

Some items shouldn’t be behind a pay wall. Bank tabs etc. I think belong in an either/or store. Transmutation stones shouldn’t be in the game at all IMO, but also DEFINITELY shouldn’t be in a cash only shop. Cosmetic items, and some musical instruments etc. (not all of them) could be cash only though.

That said, much as I’d like to get rid of the “you can buy it with gold” thing, the backlash would be horrific.

I agree with you on some of the items being not behind a paywall. Indeed character slots ( at least 8 for all classes would be normal right? ) after that, extra character slots okay.. i get that. Bank tabs, uhm well yea.. you need those. With 5 characters 1 tab nopee. aint gonna work. Not if you want a bit more than one armor per character etc.. And yes transmogification should be something that is doable with gold instead of gems. i just prefer not using them since they are hard to come by but yea gold would be better.
And about the avarage player, i think i am. Maybe playing a bit more but i dont like farming gold. Now my orichalcum runs arent worth it anymore since ori is now 3 silver instead of 4/5 and yea omnom as well… So i prefer to keep my money for ingame stuff only like crafting and tp instead of buying gems wich makes me broke instantly. And the fact that i could buy 800 gems for 24 gold at the beginning ( bought the mariners horn back then) and now its a insane 7 gold per 100 gems ( or even less then 100) i prefer to keep my gold in pocket… As well as my money since a single skin for 10 euro.. Srry i want it but i prefer buying something more usefull then.. how mutch i’d like to buy it..

So.. they would object for p2w because i get a permanent version for a ‘look’ for 10 euro where they get it for ‘free’. And what function has the gem- store ‘micro transactions’ then? Skip real money and just make it an extra game shop that has nothing to do with real money? The gem store was added to keep an income of real money, not of trillions of in- game gold right? why not reward the small group of people that support the game by adding nothing game braking or giving bonuses to others. They can get exactely the same but they have to work harder for it ( doing gold farms). real money doesnt grow on a tree while sitting in a chair, so yea… it isnt like cheating or something :P i get the pay2win model ( planetside 2 has it very strong imo) like you get 1 gun for idk how many hours of farming and that gun is for 1 single character class where you got 6 or 7 for them. So alot time consuming. And at a certain point you get killed over and over by a person that has better stuff than you. You can get it but that takes alooottt of time. This stuff is just cosmetic. No extra bonuses. Just convienient. I dont see a p2w model to people who get a permanent version over a single use version. Its just a extra reward because you support. With rift howerver —> paying means patron means extra stuff like weapons and gear = p2w. Right?

So, i had this random idea after spending like 50 euro on 4k gems. The current gem store isn’t rewarding for people that actually pay money instead of some farmed money. Stuff that i bought for 10 euro, people that are rich in game have that like 4 times ( unlimited tool for an example). So my idea was to create a extra gem store for the people that buy gems with real money. It contains the same stuff, but better. Like permanent stuff. if i buy some armor skin ( i really want to buy some, since they arent released in the base game wich is a bummer) i want to get something for my 10 euro and not 1 single skin, for 1 character where i need more stones wich i need to buy. For 800 gems that you bought with gold, YES i think thats really fair to get a single skin. But for the guys that dont want to farm all day but want to actually play the game with all its glory instead of seeing a train all day, AND are willing to spend some money and support Anet well give them some real reward for that.

With the addition of an extra gem store all the old stuff wont be removed so nobody can complain there. Nobody is getting different stuff, only better ( in terms of usability) and more rewarding for your money. So a bit lower prices ( maybe) i mean 10 euro for a skin is pretty mutch ( and your’re kinda forced to buy it if you want to look a bit different ( since again no new base armor models) ) But okay making it permanent would be alot better for your 10 euro. And for the things like unlimited caracter slots and bank slots ( okay i understand that, that is a bit to mutch ( altough as a more ‘premium’ person i would understand it, but still a reduction like 5 euro would be better instead of 10. Unlimited transmutation stones yes it would be better to see those, since atm i am afraid to use them since they are only a gem store thing or random luck chest drop, and i dont want to waste one. So seeing those as permanent would be awsome. For finishers yea price reduct. thats all you can do.

And for the armors. no need to create a guy that has all the armors for us to take it from him. Just create a extra tab in the ‘new’ gem store with the armor sets to take from, just like the achievements one.

That’s pretty mutch my idea of improving and making gems more worth the money. Since now i feel stupid after buying gems and useing them in 1 minute and getting the same as a gold farmer.

I dont want to be a hater or anything like that at all. I love this game, spend like 800 hours in it while only having 2 80’s ( got about 6k achievs ( no braging just showing my love here :P ) ) and i really want to spend more money here, but now i just do not feel rewarded enough for it.

My elementalist, with a matching axe of lava. :P

Why not both?

Its ridiculous that they nerfed karma. All that because people had to much karma. i mean common i prefer to much then too less.

But yea i would like to see both in dungeons bring karma back in dungeons and give us our jugs of karma back from doing daily’s

Daily’s aren’t worth anything anymore since karma nerf.

Well i didn’t say i found it a reasonable price for a healing skill…. but yea its an other option

Check your skills first mate. Its also buyable for 25 skill points :p

Or ( wild idea here) transform in a boxing legend wich seems kinda fair. But still adding mummy would make it so much better. Adding skeletons as well ( so halloween themed skins) . Not many people have witch costume anyway

Well i dont see why people ( like me) with costumes have to be that much more powerfull. I mean i can still kill an mummy without too much effort. And i do transform myself in the hylek now and then but i wanna use my costumes :P . A fair fight looks like more fun to me, than one thats way to easy. Transforms with 5 skills would be awsome. Still having the ability to walk during brawling is something needed to win.

And btw.. yea maybe the transforms are then more special with halloween but you can transform in an cany corn as well, so yea why not add the mumy and the skeleton then?

Yea, they are accound bound. Ive bought them all. You can swap them infinite times between your chars. Btw, they are awsome :P

So today i bought all 4 costumes. Yea maybe im crazy but i like theses looks alot, town clothes or not. I was thrilled that i could finnaly let other people brawl as well, without them buying clothes. So yea the cauldron. I can let people join my brawl. But i noticed peeps dont really like transforming since most of the skins are kinda crap in brawling.
Most of the halloween skins from zommoros’s cauldron are waay better. Like the skeleton or ofc the mummy. So why is this ( also halloween cauldron) different from the one of zommoros.
Why not give the witch cauldron the same transforms as the cauldron from zomorros. I know for 100% people will join alot more. Maybe the battles are a bit more fair then since a pig or a moa dont stand a chance.
PS. Maybe making de trans time from 1 minute to atleast 2 or more.
What do you think?

So i stared my own topic lately about mini’s and unlimited skins. But i got a reply from the autor from this topic that he had all the info covered in his topic. Still this is what i had to say about it:

Well to begin with the mini’s. I really like using a mini. You get them quite alot for completing the LS content. Now again with halloween. This is why i make this post. Getting a mini isnt quite a reward anymore, since most of the time i deposit the poor little guy. Liadri mini, i got her but yea she just chilling in my deposit cuz yea it a routine that i click deposit all now and then. So yea why not make an option to a mini to make it immune for deposits. Just by right clicking them and then use the option. Or… make some sort of slot in the hero tab where you can place your mini in. Or ofcourse make a tab like in world of warcraft where all your mini’s are accesible from every place. No more depositing, no more extra stuff to bring in your back. What do you think?
And second. Lately i got my slickpack. Just in time however. We where still in the dungeon when the halloween patch went live. But i got that slickpack but yea one time use unless i have a acc bound back slot. Wich is only with fractals, wich i dont do and…. its lvl 80. So yea when i use my slickpack skin on my low lvl char i lose it. So why not adding them to the achievements panel. Or just create a dude in every town wich has those event items where you can take them unlimited times. ( Like diango in dranor village in runescape Lolz )
You are not able to make money with them since its no gem store stuff, so why not give us unlimited uses. Im just scared using my skins cuz i dont know if i will make another char where the skins matches better. When i read about those achievement rewards with unlimited uses i was extremely happy. I went earning achiev like hell cuz unlimited skins 0.o How do you think about it?
And maybe making gem store skins unlimited when bought as well but thats just minor, though i would consider buying them more. Townclothes are swappable but that other stuff isnt wich saddens me.
thx for reading !! ^^

Omg, you had exactely the same idea with the mini slots. Even with the ability of swapping them :P wich i didnt mention here.

I want all costumes as well. I play since january so yea i missed both halloween and christmas. I hope they will come else say bb to yur 25 euro anet :p

Btw its halloween. Fest of brawling and stuff. It NEEDS to come!!

Well i found the first version of the Sab more fun than this one. Done all the achieves for that one and i was happy. Didnt farm that mutch of bubbles ( got 2 skins) and yea it wuz cool.
This one is not harder with jumping skills. Its only harder and more stuffed with loads of annoying stuff that doesnt do anything with jumping. Its just doing useless stuff that i hated very quickly.
First off, a toad on a cliff. Woa you stand there get sucked in, half of yur lives down. get out (get spitted out) and you get trown of the cliff. Great design. Nothing to do with jumping.

Second. Trap woho!! Awsome idee. Jumping ah hell no. First watch every step you make and check every door before you go trough. I didnt find that alot of fun to be honest.

It had great potential but i like it less then the first edition.

Oh and i hope that peeps will continue making acended, its kinda the new end game stuff so i hope that those prices wont drop back to the old prices

Yea i came across quite some peeps this morning while farming, ofc southsun dead as hell but yea…

And i mean ripped of with gems cuz everyone before me had the ability to buy maybe 2 slots for the price i pay now. I understand that the gems are something unstable but still making the items that are kinda “needed” after a certain period of playing stable in prices. The fun and covienient items okay those will get more expensive but everyone will need those slots once and in my opinion its kinda unfair that the ones who came first had it all xtra cheap. Treat us the same.

Title says it all. Will the prices of theses items stay the way they are? I make most of my money by farming theses things. Ancient wood wouldnt bother me before ( 64 c or something for 1) but now its really nice to sell. And since inflation with gold to gems is getting higher its seems a lil more accepetable for me to buy gems with these prices. Since else i dont think i will be able to buy gems anymore.

(And yea i still need gems for bank upgrades and char slots. So i kinda feel riped off since those things are getting more expensive and all because i didnt needed them earlier. Thats something thats bothers me aswell. )

I finnaly killed her, did it with scepter/ focus and staff. This post helped me quite so here is my build seen in the attachements. Al of my weapons are power, prec and condi dmg. just keep walking counter clockwise and stay a lil in the middle of the arena so walking from aoe to aoe is simpler, once you know where you are and where the aoe comes its very simple to stay in the safe zones. And always destroy the orbs!

Well guys il take part of my words back, ive specced the 10% scepter dmg and now ive killed her after the second try

it didnt even feel hard to do.

Thx for al yur help

ow for ranger my bad.

well first i wanna try it on guadian since that worked better for me

yea i run with purity trait

But i must say this is really the first real “achievement”. ive been yelling and cursing alot but that only wants me to get this even more.

Well i completely missed the 10% xtra dmg for scepter so il try that out. atm i run at 0/25/5/ 30/10. I really wanna keep the confi removal on shout cuz that saved my kitten numerous times. Its also one of the main reason i play on my guardian and not on my ranger cuz the cripple was just to mutch.

well i did kill her normally and without the 8 orbs and i died by time.

Well after doing liardi with my ranger and getting the pattern but kept dying, i switched to my guardian cuz the criple killed me nonstop. again after many tries i had an set of staff and scepter/ focus. The only viable way to do it cuz with an gs you die quick. But as we all know the ranged dmg of an guardian is crap and so i died because i had the skills and knew how to beat her, but that doesnt matter becuase when im not an facerolling dps machine i can walk to hell. Well awsome.

I understand that this is a challenge that is not ment for everyone but the added time is just not acceptible.

Well i opened up my gpu, found some dried up and way to mutch crappy thermal paste. Cleaned the dust and the core, bought some arctic mx-4 online for 11 euros, applied it and it runs great. Temp in La is now 73 degrees max with my fan still on lowest, VS fan on jet mode (full speed) with 99 degrees. So yea fixed it and got better fps now. Gpu usage is still high but it doesnt matter anymore cuz my temps are lower.
