So everyone has noticed the nice cloud offering you infantile mode…
… but by climbing on a tree, I found the angry cloud !

Doesn’t seem activated though. Design not finished…

I think that you are going in the wrong direction with Gem Store.
an exemple: “Super Adventure Box’o’Fun”, 100-125 gems, one use only
Your people working on the Gem Store are acting like if we were a real-life consuming society… In real life, if you sell crisps, people will eat them and buy moar and moar… But we are in a game, we are gamers. We prefer to ACQUIRE things.
How much more money would you earn if you were selling a PERMANENT box’o’fun? You act like if we were going to buy and consume moar and moar boxes but we are not…
For example you could put a permanent box for 500-600 gems and put rare free temporary versions as a loot during the event with “you can buy a permanent one in the Gem Store” written on it.
That way people would find one and say “hey this is cool”, “hey I could use that”, and buy one in the Gem Store and use it when they want during friends/guildies parties.
It’s the same story for RNG stuff like “Black Lion Chests”. I don’t feel very well treated when I see this, in fact I feel treated like a cow ready to buy 100 chests just to get one single item… I’m sure there are madmans doing this, rich people, but 95% players won’t do it.
An example of GOOD item would be “Miniature Super Trio Pack”. Three miniatures in one pack, 500 gems, I don’t feel taken for an idiot! I bought it.
So if you could please stop putting minis with 1/100 chance to get it inside a chest, or put one-time only items like if we were a virtual consuming society, that would really be cool and respectful.
Reason I think is because it doesn’t fit with the universe of Guild Wars 2, so even with the lore explanation, out of april probably seems like totally “out of context”.
But I support the fact that it should stay. To give it a context, it could be hidden in a deep laboratory where Moto would work in secret ; because others have rejected its game. Then we could visit him and play!!
Mini Trio Pack bought.
I can only support things like this
The old asura woman complaining after Moto about videogames made me laugh
Was like… reality
I went back to Zone 3 and the first place counted.
Looks like you can go anywhere and it’ll add you one again.
Awful…ly amazing!
I want moar
No, it’s not okay. That’s why I started this thread. I really would like an answer.
If this sort of thing is what gamers want, please box it and sell it as a stand-alone, and keep this fly outta the soup. Jumping puzzles in a war-lore MMO has got to be the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.
A few people like you have been complaining about jumping puzzles comparing them to Super Mario.
Today is April 1st,
They gave you Super Mario.
Anet epic win.
(And they even made Infantile mode, for your level of jumping )

It works by killing all the bunnies at the beginning of either Zone 1, either Zone 2.
Doesn’t give any reward, it’s just a tornado of angry bunny^^
Nice april fools day joke.
I did SAB with my second character before I found this thread. Guess what ?
Chests are account bound u can get only 6 bauble bubbles today from bosses + 1 for stage 2.1
Weird. I sware I did it this morning (French time) with 3 characters and I got 18 bubbles.
(edited by Keiran.1896)
So I thought I was done with the baubles, I killed the boss, I took the baubles inside the chest aaand… I got nothing.
So probably I forgot some baubles but I’m curious about several things:
1. Do I have to do everything from scratch (1 hour in this jungle, please) or just find the last baubles?
2. Do baubles on mobs count?
April fools, haha
So, for those who want their skin for free, there’s only one solution: speed running! Here are details…
You need:
- Jumping skills.
- Many characters.
You get 2 bauble bubbles per day per character per boss.
If you are good, and you know the right direction, and you don’t lose your lives, it will take 10 minutes per character to go to the frog boss. 6 bubble total.
So in best case, that is 36 bauble bubbles per hour, if you have 6 characters. No secret recipe, but take in account that you have all April to do this!
(Oh, and you can loot skins directly in boss chests, with some luck. Those versions aren’t bound so you can trade them. I’ve looted the shield, worth 20g in the chest of the frog. )
(edited by Keiran.1896)
I have been playing religiously since pre-release, being a good player (hehe) and everything but sometimes I just couldn’t do daily ’cause I was away or making a small break.
Result is, I have missed only like 10-20 dailies overall, but I have plenty of “real achievements” so please give me a chance to compete with the one who have completed every single daily!
We shouldn’t be judged on our “daily-nerdmeter” but on what we have actually done with our available time in the game.
(edited by Keiran.1896)
I’d check for viruses. And expect a ban forthwith.
What if you buy this million gold from Anet? they won’t say anything^^
Doing that would basically defeat the purpose of playing the game further.
There would still be sPvP ranks, WvW ranks, WvW achievements and all the other achievements of the game! That’s what I’d do after buying everything.
Then you have to wait expansions.
What would you do?
Personally, I’d:
- Buy all legendary weapons from TP.
- Fill my entire bank with crafting materials.
- Discover all the crafting recipes of the game.
- Discover the maximum amount of character slots.
- Buy all the expensive TP skins of the game.
- Buy all the cultural armor skins of the game.
Now you know what to do with your next million dollar!
1. You can do a lot of hearts that don’t require to kill mobs.
2. Points of interests & Vistas.
3. Collecting events.
So now when you have the inferiority buff, it’s written “Take no armor damage on death”.
Well, I checked I had the buff, my armor was fully repaired, I jumped into the ennemy’s army and guess what… It was damaged. And not just a bit, more than usual. It went directly to everything orange, had to pay 10 silver to repair.
So, what’s the deal, Arenanet? Are you liars?
If the super adventure box is just for April fools it will be the biggest letdown in MMO history and won’t be funny at all. A lot of people are really looking forward to that, and it seems much too elaborate to be a joke.
It’s not just for April Fools, I’ve been reading a lot what Josh Foreman (the dev who has been working on this for a while) and it’s obvious that it’s not just for a few days. It’s maybe just gonna release for 1st April and then stay… who knows
So either Arenanet was drunk, either these items are April Fool related:

More epic skins, even ninja stuff!! , try yourself:
[&AgF/owAA]
[&AgGxowAA]
[&AgGGowAA]
[&AgF9owAA]
[&AgHFowAA]
[&AgHXowAA]
Those items all seem to be related to 1st April but also to the Super Adventure Box ; which means that the Super Adventure Box will be our April Fool joke?? I just so want to wear the first item on my head xD
Those codes were found in the database by datamining: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1b3if8/april_fools_event_spoiler_lots_of_8bit_items/c938col
So are we getting our 10 laurels or not?
It was the very FIRST month I decided to do my sPvP monthly for whatever reason and guess what… I shouldn’t have before this update…
Jumping Puzzles are probably the hard way to get these.
Try this list of easy chests:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_basic_chests
I did 4-5 of those, got 1 coin so far.
(I even got an achievement doing one, probably something new I hadn’t done)
(edited by Keiran.1896)
To me it seems that invader, assaulter, and raider are titles that don’t clearly imply that you are a part of something.
But recruit means you’ve definately joined the ranks of something organized.
Well when I see an ennemy called Recruit rather than Raider, Assaulter, or Invader, he just feels weaker.
Maybe they should spare us the “non-organised” ranks and get a real army ranking.
So you start off being an invader, then you’re an assaulter, then a raider and when you’re finally rank 16…
You’re a recruit?
What’s the logic please?
and hope to have you back on the field in no time!
said Anet 50 minutes ago
C’mon I want my update!!!
Now you can switch maps without asura portals with the UI. A lot easier!
You could always do that….?
Not really, TP button wasn’t available while in WvW, you had to be outside.
Then you had to use an asura portal or seek the right waypoint on your map. A lot easier with UI…
Now you can switch maps without asura portals with the UI. A lot easier!
I played for 5 mins and then it crashed
Please don’t listen to the top messages and fix it NOW ^^
(PS: for those who don’t know about Mystic Chests, they’re an oldschool item, and the only way to get pieces for a permanent portable mystic forge. Their price was initially 1 gold and jumped to 15 gold and still increasing.)
Seems like an easy market for gold sellers // big traders.
Are you going to do anything about these anytime soon or is it safe to trade some?
So they should be done 2 days before they say they will be done?
That’s kinda better than 2 days after, isn’t it? :P
And if they forgot something they still got these 2 days to fix it (like “Oh w8 Colin we forgot to start designing the WvW ranks! we got 2 days left!” “ok 2 days easy Mike!”)
(edited by Keiran.1896)
Their priority is rolling out the patch with minimal problems and downtime, that’s easier to accomplish towards the end of their day.
Unhappy customers should learn to moderate their expectations, in this case, you’re in europe so learn to expect the patch to be in when you wake up on the day following patch-day.
Or they can learn from our frustration, and get everything ready a day or two before the patch actually gets out. If they can’t, then they just had to choose another date for the patch before they announce it.
But make a PLANNING, and include some days in this planning to fix the possible unexpected delays!
Just a quick message to say… ArenaNet please don’t fail tomorrow’s patch.
What I mean by fail is that I usually come back from work happy because I’m expecting my update and it’s still not there at 10 pm (French/EU time). And then I go to bed very sad and the update comes at 3 am and everything starts without me… which doesn’t feel really good.
And then your annoying excuse is “it was still the right day for us”… yea but you’re making many customers unhappy, what’s your priority?
Well, I’m coming back from work early tomorrow, and it will be about 10-11 am for you… if it can motivate, I’d be very happy if it was ready…
7-years-GW1 player, GWAMM, 50/50 HoM, GW2 since day 1, over 1200 hours, collector edition & charr plushie + GW2 headphones, mouse and mousepad from one of your contest, GW2 in-game T-Shirt, and soon legendary weapon.
Get this patch ready for me, please! and my WvW rank progression shall begin.

spend $1000 worth of gems and convert to gold to buy precursors.
With 1000$, it’s the legendary that you can buy :P
Really unfair game
Also
using 4 exotics seems much more expensive but it guarantees an exotic,
so in the end it’s cheaper to use exotics.
precursors in gemstore will be seen as pay2win. It technically wouldn’t be, but it kinda is.
Horrible…. horrible idea.
You can buy gold from the Gem Store.
You’re speaking like if that wasn’t the case.
They’re already in the Gem Store.
Buy gems, convert to gold, buy precursor, enjoy!
Ecto has just risen by one silver in 30 seconds. I watched
Mad guys have started buying stocks.
(PS: too bad I have no gold left, already spent everything on my legendary^^)
(edited by Keiran.1896)
<- goes buying ectos before the price rise up
It was probably perfectly clear for Colin
Well I guess that leaves two viewpoints
Laurels only for dailies/monthlies – no ties to achievement system otherwise, instead something different will (hopefully?) be coming.
Laurels only for dailies/monthlies starting at that point in time, not retroactively – further rewarded retroactively for achievements already accomplished.
I personally would be fine with leaving it at laurels, but who knows what else is in store for us, might even be better. Could not think of anything right this very second though.
Rules to understand Colin:
- If what he says has several interpretations, take the pessimist one.
- Lower the degree of awesomeness of his messages by 10 degrees (do not get too excited by what he announces).
- Try resuming his huge paragraphs to a simple sentence. It always work.
if that idea is still coming, achievement points will to some degree reward laurels. What made me think of this again was reading more and more comments along the line “we are not encouraged to create alts”. Do you think this might help alleviate that feeling? What could the conversion rate be, 100:1 (achievement points:laurels)?
Read BETTER, Colin is saying that Laurels are a specific rewards to dailies and monthlies and that there will be OTHER rewards than laurels for achievements points.
A dev should confirm this before the thread confuses everyone.
Definitly Cantha.
Or Elona.
Or a lot of new zones in Tyria…
Well I want a bigger world to explore it’s what I love in MMOs, the size.
Hi GM
I encountered a trouble.
I bought “Bank Tab Expansion” and “Bag Slot” yesterday.
But I cant use them…..So
what should I do now? I just want my Gems back,
I send report to GM but no use.PLZ help me, thank you very much.
You didn’t know??
You cannot use these having 4,250 CoF tokens in your bank!
/joke
Close to 40s? Okay then my memory is failing…
But still, 27s is still kinda hight for something that I can get 10 times a day while playing only one hour hunting bosses.
There is now at least 1 guaranted rare per world boss chest, and population farming those has increased by 10.
Can anyone good at economy explain why ectos have dropped from only 2s and rare 4s?
I was expecting a bigger drop than that.

Just guest to very populated server. You’ll usually find some people there.
Then the only hard thing is to get the event started.
Agreed, agreed and AGREED. I’ve been making at least 3 threads about that suggestion.
But apparently they prefer to design restricted content like Guild Missions instead…
Yea Midnight found a better trick, I admit xD
Why do I feel hate you in your message? :/ Stop hating, that will be a big step for you.
For the rest, I’d say your server doesn’t belong to YOU. They’re players, like you.
