Guild Wars 2

So Are we ever going to get an answer?

I see no problem with them allowing the story chapters of 1-10 to be unlocked at level 1. Its important to introduce the game, and seriously, playing as a level 4 in the lvl 10 zones arent hard, in fact you have allies the whole way through to then. They can do the work for you even.

Even if you rush through the whole story, you end it at lvl 5. I think unlocking the next batch of story at 20, or even 15 isnt the worst. But I do think for emerision sake, you shouldnt not have story right away.

1000 keys? 20 minutes each key with no breaks would be 334 hours which would be 3 key runs per day for just under a year, spread over 2 years would be a key run or 2 a day. Possible certainly but I personally would shoot myself before I did it.

Apparently the guy did about 500 of them over a period of about 3 months then sat down and did the other 500 in a matter of about 10 days (what he reported), to open them all during the Perma Hair Style drop period. I took issue with the math too, but after figuring out what he claimed (sleeping about 3 or 4 hours and then taking breaks for about another 2 hours a day….basically 18 hours of key runs a day), what he claims is possible. He certainly had the loot in a video to prove he opened 1000 BL chests….

Right. I dude farmed all that by himself. Over 3 months, then not really living a real life for 10 days straight. He openly says he’ll never do it again because it felt like death. His 1000 keys should be something thats “wowed! that guy farmed” not “We need to get rid of this.”

I’d be ok with this change if I was awarded 5 keys after lvl 10’s story. If I have to level to 10 to unlock the quest, then it will take me at least 15 minutes to run though the quests themselves, I’m looking at least an hour of work for ALOT less reward.

20 minute to key farm, 3 times for an hour, thats 3 keys. Lvling will be an hour, plus 20 for the quests, thats 4 keys in that time, give me an extra for the effort, and the fact I’m probably under estimating the time there, and well call it square.

Ok, a lot of people have been asking about key farming being nerfed with the update. I’ve always been on the side of “It won’t be, not intentionally at least” as Anet has said somewhere they support key farming as its only speed running the existing game, not bending the rules, ect.

Understandably some people, myself included, are a little more concerned this time around. It seems like the leveling system will be changed to be more like china’s. They don’t unlock a key until level 20. Is this happening to our farm?

I for one, would be terribly upset, as key farmers are not a hazard to anyone’s game experience, are mostly off in their own instance, and don’t spam chats with toxic words because, well, our fingers are mostly glued on the W and 1/f button. It seems like one of the few positive farms in guildwars, netting 1 key every 20 minutes, which makes it a very boring, alright incomed farm.

Could we get an official statement on this? I’d hate to think Diah’s cows could starve. They are chubby and need obscene amount of feed to survive.

Ya’ll spouting nonsense son! As was said before, HoD only ever maintained its position, never tanked and never increased, because weeks leading up to leagues we got hit with strong Mid Silver dudes.

And honestly, I thought SF would have taken first… Playing against them was stupid scary week 4. But how did we manage to pull out on top week after week, even though if you look at our server populations, we have less then most US servers? We adjusted our game plan…

Listen, I watched HoD gain a lot of fairweathers… who later then turned into main stay WvWs because of our commanders. Seriously, those guys were so well organized, communicative, and encouraging, you couldn’t help but feel like your doing your part for something more grand than you. And we actually had a hugely hard time with SF week 4 because of their insane numbers. But the commanders switched up our game plan to spread, let SF zerg do its thing, but for every camp 80 of them flip, 20 of us get 3 camps at the same time. In their BL. It was a sound plan, and a smart one, and the commanders very clearly lead us to do it in an organized way.

I think Ive only ever seen our server argue once during the whole 7 weeks, and not because we were doing “Awesome” because we were all on board of keeping our advantage up, and keeping an eye out for each other. 3 musketeers like. Ya all make it seem like we tanked an naturally could crush everyone. We have less WvW population than at least half of bronze, a lot of the time zerging wasnt the best option… We do have a great night coverage team, and awesome scouts, so our zerg knew exactly where to hit, every time.

And hey, I watched GoM be a server that I didnt expect anything from, wipe me. So what we were swinging for the fences, a lot of your server took up our challenge and got way better. I’m really proud of Bronze, as it seems like our league has toss ups. The first post in this thread declares Kein as the probable winner…

Really… good job everyone, everyone worked their kitten off… Sheesh, no need to get so aggressive and hurt over it.

Lolz. thank you VLK for putting them in their place. People love to hate, especially when they hide, or do cheap tactics. Give them a feeling of invincibility. So they talk some crap to guys who can rightfully kick their butts. Talk smack against HoD, get smacked by HoD.

I want to give a shout out to CoSA.

Going into this week I knew that the new PvE update would pull a lot of people out of WvW but I figured it would hit all the servers about equally. I could not have been more wrong. SF’s CoSA went into the last two nights looking for blood and found it. HoD’s core WvW guilds were left scrambling around like the proverbial dutch boy plugging holes with his fingers. We won some fights and lost some, but at no point did we get to relax.

Last night HoD’s lead shrank by 10k points. That’s one hell of an achievement!

So to CoSA for your sheer determination and great fights I give you a “/salute.”

Keep bringing the pain and I hope to see you back on the field again tonight!

And this morning, [Dx] carried you guys to gain almost 20k thus rendering the 10k completely useless. Such is life on SF. Same ol’ same ol’.

That’s what I was ganna say. I’ll give it to SF, it was a good push… Too bad all it did was make HoD set up better defenses and make a bigger target on your BL. :P Since every point you took, we just took it right back.

Last year the chest you could get (1 per char, per day) had a slim chance of dropping the arachnophobia, mad moon, or the crossing. Does it still have that chance or did they nerf it completely?

Weird because I got 8 levels last night in 2 hours on my nerco…

Hint: Join Zerg, tag…

Id just like to know if that chest you get gives you a shot at holloween weapons.

I got 2. one in orr, one in timber. They are out there, just a lot less.

Hey guys its going to be fixed it has been reached to the developers team after months of back to back emails so dont worry they can’t sya i time frame yet but it might be fixed in next patch so dont worry

I Kinda doubt this. They havent even given official word, and its been well known for over a month. I for one will keep bumping this up there to make sure were not forgotten, til I actually see the change.

Which as of 8/13/13 has not been done.

Still hasnt been fixed? What a shame. I stopped playing more or less.

Well it aint just human. its all the male races I believe. I’ll note that I wasnt posting because I thought “They’ll get it the next big patch” buttttttt that didnt happen. I’m not going to be all angry and post saying the world is ending and its all your fault… but you got to realize… Most of the end game content focus is on “Looks” and making your character feel unique. That being said, the focus is further implemented by your dye system. So heres why theres all this angry posting.

1. Its a sneaky looking item
2. Its from a sneaky faction.
3. Its popular (probably the most popular) for thief because of above reasons. Read: More people care about it then your average armor.
4. Black is the sneaky color of choice. Bright tomato red isnt sneaky.
5. Its expensive for most people to get ahold of.

Combine that all together and you really get about 50% of people who play that type of play mad. I’ll admit to playing my character alot less because I guess Im shallow and the bright red is gross to me.

Sylvari Male not trasnmuted and transmuted Whispers armor red cant be dyed over. It used to have an option, but it has since lost the option. Chest and boots.

Same on the chest piece. still bugged.

Not transmuted on my end and its effecting the medium boots and chest. Male slyvari

Did anyone get any notification on the bugs the patch caused. Seemed like quite a few and were still in the dark.

Ive had it happen to me too on a mac.

Yeah, no response yet. Also, why is this merged with something from 3 months ago. It happened again, separate incident. 3 months ago- fixed, this one- not fixed.

Slyvari Male here. My coat is bugged. Boots are too.

Picture to help.

Its a big they havent fixed yet. theres been a lot of threads.

Happening to me as well. Coat wont let me dye over the red. Arm and hood seem to be fine.

Happens on all the whisper stuff now. diffidently a bug.

Happening to me too now (Since patch) seemed like it happened 3 months ago when patched. I really hate this red and wanna go back to my normal orange.
