Guild Wars 2

I’ll be spending my time doing map completion and such a lot right now to collect as many stones as possible.

I LOVE changing my outfit, but I dont do it often because that is what makes me broke, having to spend gold on getting the crystals ruins it for me. If they were obtainable like the regular stones now, I would be so happy. But deep down I know, it simply won’t be like that.

Hello!
I have a question about Transmutation Charges.

Since the crystals and stones will be turned into this new curency, I was wondering how the actual obtaining of the new “charges” will be!

Will we still get them as a reward for map completion and such? Like for the stones now, where one would equal one charge? (Getting ~3 charges as a reward) and possibly a reward from black lion chest (3-15 charges, to reflect the sometimes 1-5 crystals)?

Or will it just be gem-obtained?

My question is summed up as: How will Transmutation Charges become obtained vrs. the Transmutation Stone/Crystals?

A friend of mine pointed out that I was not glowing while I had my staff out during a fight and ever since then I have notice that ~80% of the time, I don’t have that purple glow when my staff is out and I’m in combat.

I’m using it on my Elementalist, and my video is maxed.

Two events.
2/3 Legendary bosses down.
Why? Because our overflow is underpopulated.

Thanks. I’ll possibly not see scarlet again for ~a week!

So, just did the new updated Knights…..I went to green since it had the least amount of players, Red & blue went down green did not. Players at red & blue got loot, players at green didn’t.

Why gamble the unsure bet? I can see players now will go for the assured 100% kill (the knight w/most players), I know I will be.

I think we were in the same overflow.
Honestly, I think they should have kept it the way it was, but reward the chest to everyone at the end of the event. Why? Because when you’re in overflow it is harder to coordinate. Not only that but you may have just above fifty people but not enough to spread between all, so when people finish on their legendary boss and run to another, time will be wasted.

Oh don’t get me wrong! I LOVE my bifrost, and I wouldn’t have made any other one. It is beautiful and elegant and just gorgeous… But I’m not the first person to think the footsteps are disappointing. The fact that you can’t see them ~40% of the time just sucks, also in certain terrain its like they are not there at all.

The main disappointment is the fact that they gave it to The Dreamer, and added in an effect that lasts longer.

Google the rest, if you don’t believe me :p

I just came back to the game and heard about these “updates” to bifrost.

Well, I don’t see anything different to my bifrost but a new auto attack. We we’re supposed to get larger footsteps, but they look the same.

Seriously, have you seen the other legendary foot falls? The swords, last forever. Kudzu lasts like half the firggin map (sarcasm), and the dreamer is just a copy and paste with added lucky friggin charm hooves that dont even match the foot splash (which are the SAME as bifrost’s) to begin with.

~one or two other legendaries suffer from the lack of footfalls, but at least you can see theirs in all other terrain.

Edit: Please don’t get me wrong, I love my legendary and I wouldn’t trade it for another. The legendary in general is not a disappointment. ONLY THE FOOT FALLS.

I get everyone’s point, but I’m still not sold on the idea of it.

Yah, I’m not fond of the fact that skins require gold as well as baubles either, not at all. You can’t sell the skins you buy with baubles on the TP (only the random drops are sellable, the bought ones are account-bound), so your only possible source of gaining money from the Box is a low-chance drop. I haven’t gotten one, and the number I’ve seen thrown around is 5% chance of skin drop.

So in all likelyhood, by doing the SAB to acquire baubles, you’re losing “potential money” you could be making by doing something else. If I run SAB for an hour, thats an hour I could have spent running a couple dungeons and making a few gold, and I’ve instead made nothing. Not to mention that you also get no experience, no daily progress (except dodger, though I’d like to see SAB give progress to other dailys as well), no karma, ect. And then on top of that you also need to spend money to get the skins.

Now, I’m perfectly willing to lose the money I could be making by playing SAB instead, don’t get me wrong. The SAB itself is great fun (best event / activity thats been added to the game IMO) and the skins are very nice. But the fact that I need to spend money on top of that just rubs me the wrong way. Feels like a bit of a kick while I’m down. I’m already dying for money as it is (having 5 characters who only recently reached level 80 and needing to equip all of them will do that). Now I’m spending a good deal of time I could be using to get money running SAB for fun and baubles instead, and yet despite all that I’m also going to have to spend the few gold I have in the bank to grab the skins I want.

I also don’t like what it does to lower level players especially. 1g may be a drop in the hat for a level 80 character, but if someone happened to be new and only had a level 15 character, thats quite a different story. SAB is great in the fact that it allows ANYONE to do it, and be 100% equal with anyone else regardless of level. But then the sought-after rewards from it require a money investment which is quite a bit for a low level player. The fact that they’re losing potential experience also hurts them more, so even moreso it really hurts lower level players.

You nailed it, perfect. This is exactly how I feel.

I’m kind of disappointed they cost gold as well, I don’t have a lvl 80 character yet so it’s a lot of gold for me.

give A-net 10$ for some gems and you can trade those for gold. that 10$ will help go towards more content like this

Why should they have to buy gold with real money just to enjoy the content that is otherwise free? Just because they are a new player? Yeah, no.

That is how I feel, Animen.

I see, I just think its out of place. They could have come up with a better place for a gold sink.

I understand that (as I stated in my question), but the skins are not a guaranteed drop, its a chance drop.

In the winter event, you could get items out of the end chest that sold for more than 1 gold too, but the winter skins didn’t cost any gold, just the socks you would get out of the present boxes.

I’m just curious about this.
I’ve spent a lot of time in the SAB since it came out. Not much time in the PvE or PvP world.

I don’t understand why it costs money to get a skin with the baubles. I understand that one gold is not really much, and wont be hard for many players to get, but in the past events like this never required you to spend gold with your tokens (IE, the socks from the presents), even though you get money for doing those dungeons (IE the winter event, you got a chest at the end that gave you items to sell).

In SAB, you don’t get any items other than the baubles and a rare chance at a skin you can sell on the TP (which I have not gotten yet).

So why does it cost gold? You are not guaranteed any type of money when you do the dungeon, so why would the reward for doing these dungeons cost gold?!

Please don’t use the fact that the skins cost a nice bit a gold and you can sell them on the TP as an excuse, because those are not guaranteed, and you can go this whole month without getting a single one if your luck is bad. Then there is a chance at getting a more expensive skin like the greatsword. Otherwise, later on, you’ll only be able to get 1-3 gold (assuming that the prices keep going down).

Up on TC
:) see ya there

Looking for an open one. Could some one let me know an open server?

You already got dozens of kills in WvW obviously if you only needed 2 more…..I don’t see how your monthly is ruined if you only need 2 more, and have already gotten that many kills despite culling….

Well, after this post I was informed that 15 invader kills was only first tier (sorry, new to the game and all, didn’t know). 12, is one dozen. I got the first dozen my first game and it was not so bad then, really, just low FPS but I could see people.

I can’t even get one kill. TBH I think its been bugged for me since last patch.

I see, well.. this pretty much ruins the whole WvW for me. Which ruins my monthly, which takes away 40k karma from me! Ugh!!

My husband and I were playing some WvW tonight. I was trying to get my last two kills for the monthly achievement.

For me, no matter where I was in the wvw, I could not see anyone but my husband. (The one place I did see people was at the main base). When we would run to battles, on the way we would see one person and engage in a fight only to die instantly, because guess what? There were 8 people actually and only one red name bar. (That is all I can see btw, is red bars if I’m lucky). My husband can see a full person once in awhile, but still won’t know if its truly one person because they wont show up until we are dead.

I did not have any fun tonight. I got to irritated because I could not see anything going on around me. When I asked /map if this was a normal thing, and it being a “yes” answer.. wth? How am I supposed to enjoy wvw if I can’t see what in the world is going on. Legit question.
