Guild Wars 2

ExquisitePriide.6302:

Does anybody have working links to the original builds? Whenever I follow the links it just takes me to an empty skills page.

Same here, can we get this fixed? Looks like it’s been broken for some time now.

Dreamslayer.7659:

I forged about 200 of my 250 Doubloons from pebbles.

They can try to control the supply, but their ability to do so will be limited due to multiple avenues to attain Silver Doubloons.

If you’re going for a Juggernaut, you also need Molten Lodestones – those were about 70s a week ago, now they are 95s if not 1g by now.

There are a LOT of things you need for a Legendary and the best part about making the Juggernaut is that you don’t have to compete for Charged Lodestones.

I’ve got almost all of the expensive stuff out of the way except for the Icy Runestones and about 40 more clovers.

I just don’t see the Silver Doubloons as being that much of a problem compared to some of the other things.

How on God’s green earth are you people getting 200 on pebbles alone? At the rate of 1 per ~60 pebbles that’s a LOT of clicking!

Would like this looked into as well, it’s pretty obvious by the charts for this item that the price is being manipulated.

Coppers really need to be upgradeable to Silvers as well.

It’s not being manipulated and in fact, there are alternative supply mechanisms for obtaining Silver Doubloons.

The price is high because everyone who wants a Juggernaut needs these and they are rare – but resourceful players are finding some cost effective ways to acquire them…

Juggernaut has been around the entire time the game has been online. So with that in mind, why then did the price shoot up suddenly one day instead of a natural organic growth as the population all started getting closer to getting ready to go for Legendaries?

Look at the volume of listings around 11/10/2012 and then again after that. The stock was bought out and relisted at a higher price several days later. Manipulation.

Guys, has anyone else been noticing Orb of Light missing, saying “Obstructed” when it misses, a LOT more lately? I noticed this yesterday when I was doing Claw and it was happening a lot when I was trying to attack the ice wall.

Now today I’m doing my daily in Kessex and it seems to be happening where it shouldn’t be, mostly on inclined planes.

Anyone else experiencing this? I’d file a bug report, but want to make sure this isn’t just coincidence and faulty perception.

i want to say scepter is better for roming or 1v1 or maybe 1vfew battles. though better for chasing down enemies.

staff is definitely very strong in zerg vs zerg or larger scaled battles. can be used for both stopping enemies fleeing (though you’re rooted when casting #5 LoW) and also for getting away. many times, i’ve been abel to cast LoW in front of me and run past it, with #3 for swiftness and enemies get stuck behidn the wall a bit so gives you a little more breathing room.

How is scepter better for chasing down enemies when the #1 skill on it is slower than normal running speed? I know, chains, but that’s a one and done thing.

Bezayne.6459:

Considering that right now there are 7 Juggernaut precursors on offer on the TP, and about 1530ish silver doubloons, that would allow for 6 of those precursors to be turned into a legendary. Making the doubloons an even more limiting factor than having a precursor.

Working as intended?

That’s an interesting take on things, for sure. The simple act of allowing copper doubloons to be able to be crafted into silvers would help this out immensely.

Jumping in the group that says the success rate was nerfed. 50 tries here and no princess endless. With so many people getting within the first 10 tries, there’s no way some of our luck is THIS bad.

Any word if they added copper to silver and gold to plat recipes with all the new ones that came in the patch?

i tried using 2 copper doubloons, but it doesn’t show up in my discoveries list as an option.

Fix this ANet, begging you The cost of Silver Doubloons versus all the other doubloons should tell you how much this whole thing is out of whack.

Any word if they added copper to silver and gold to plat recipes with all the new ones that came in the patch?

I didn’t think this game could look like Asheron’s Call, but there it is.

Good to know, thanks. That said, I still think there’s some recipes missing here, plus I don’t have a lv 30ish character.

I believe there are some recipes missing that need to flesh things out that are killing a market very specific to some items that require doubloons, which are difficult to farm and pretty rare in the way of drops.

Today there is a refinement recipe for making 2 Silver Doubloons into a Gold Doubloon. This mechanic is missing for 2 Copper to Silver and 2 Gold to Platium, however, and this seems like an oversight. Maybe the oversight is deliberate, but I’m not sure I understand such a move.

Can we get a comment on this problem and what might be done to fix it?

Would like this looked into as well, it’s pretty obvious by the charts for this item that the price is being manipulated.

Coppers really need to be upgradeable to Silvers as well.

Hoping there’s some action on this with the patch this week…

OneManArmy.5617:

@Vanguardian They did not buff the scepter’s #1 “Orb of Wrath” projectile speed.
They buffed the Staff’s #2 “Orb of Light” projectile speed, which makes it decent now,but it still has problems.

Our scepter’s projectile speed is so slow that to be effective you need to be around 300range max. It really needs a 33-50% speed increase to be effective and add some flavor to it, such as a combo finisher.

This is it exactly. Else the target can and will move out of range before the orb gets to it. And let’s be honest, even at the current speed, the damage isn’t all that great.

For those that didn’t see it, looks like Ranger Longbow is getting some projectile speed love to assist with hitting moving targets:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/longbow-shots-really-REALLY-slow/first#post953582

Scepter 1 suffers from this same problem to a much greater degree because the projectiles are that much slower. If all classes are supposed to have viable options at range, then our scepter needs the same kind of buff. They already did this with Staff Orb of Light, so it really only makes sense to continue the trend.

Any chance this will happen ANet?

CC Dalmarus.8397:

Thanks for the feedback and patience everyone. The team is investigating these issues as we speak. Please continue to let us know if the event has not kicked off on your server (overflow servers too). Also, let us know if you are in an overflow server and the event did kick off. Thanks!

No trigger on Stormbluff Island overflow. Treb has been half completed for like 30 mins now. I didn’t really have much time to play today at all, so this failure is a real bummer ANet. If the “epic world changing finale” is anything like this, there will be nothing epic about it.

You know why you keep losing JQ? Because I just went in to the EB JP and saw 30 of you there camped out locking the place down. This nets you nothing and SBI will win again because of your absolutely ridiculously poor choices of “tactics”.

Don’t really know what kind of tonics you’re refering to. But last night I ran MK dungeon for like 5 runs and exchanged around 250 candy corns with the kids and got 2-3 rare tonics. One of them transformed me to a small ghost, like the bedsheet, but nothing really outstanding. The rest I haven’t used and seen what they will transform to.

They’re talking about the endless halloween tonic. It’s one tonic that NEVER gets used up and can transform you into any of the halloween costumes randomly, except apparently the ghost costume I guess…?

That’s correct, the ghost is the only transformation that you can get in a exhaustible tonic form that’s not on the endless one. This is a travesty since it’s the best transformation!

Psst, TP is game-wide.

Can we have this tonic have the “Spooky Ghost” transformation part of the random things it transforms you into? It really is the best model in the game from this event and I’d like to see it around for the days to come, not just sparingly when the event comes around once a year.

Cheers!
