Guild Wars 2

Hands up anyone who has a full set?

Nobody?

QED

Put another way, if nobody ever has these, there’s no point in having them in-game. Of the few people that may get them, even fewer would wear them because they have their own skins that they like. Players wouldn’t even see them in the game let alone have them. It’s a waste of developer effort to develop a skin that nobody ever sees.

I had to read this thread to find out how to do it. I think it’s a failure if you have to go out of game to figure it out.

The flux thing doesn’t mean anything. Flux has nothing to do with beam, and the definition of flux is “a state of change”.

At the elemental part, I thought you activate the skill and it will suck the energy out of the shield. I saw the beam and I thought you need to destroy the bloodstone to stop it leeching magic from you.

In the justicar fight, I realised that the bloodstone actually gave you power (higher attack rate) so I thought maybe you activate it and you could do damage to the shield. That didn’t work so maybe I thought if you used the increased attack to kill the minions, the shield would go down. But they respawned too fast. Maybe you had to lure the justicar closer so the bloodstone could destroy the shield but she never moved closer. Nothing worked so I got stuck. I thought it was a bug so I searched and came here.

No amount of critical thinking could have brought me to the answer. Getting in between the beam doesn’t make sense because draining the energy makes you think of a one way flow between two points. But going in between means the bloodstone is charging the shield at the same rate as you drain the shield so the net effect is nothing.

Just to clarify, is this midnight at the start of Monday (00:00) or midnight at the end of Monday (Tuesday 00:00)?

Can someone summarise why it is a bad idea to remove the posting fee?

The only reason I see is to prevent it becoming a bank. They can fix that by keeping it in your bank inventory when it’s on the market.

The problem with the posting fee isn’t that there is undercutting, but that you can’t undercut them (without losing 5%); there isn’t enough undercutting. The market will eventually be at equilibrium either way, but why have this extra complication when you could do without it?

I don’t understand the argument about someone having more time. If they undercut you and you aren’t there to undercut them, that’s fine because you were selling at the lowest price you were willing to anyway. If you weren’t, then it’s the risk you take for the chance at getting a higher profit than the market rate.

I guess it comes down to buyer competition and seller competition. If a buyer is willing to pay 100 and the seller is willing to sell for 50, it should be sold at 75, not 50 (seller competition) or 100 (buyer competition).

Off-topic, but the biggest problem with the market is that it doesn’t say anywhere that there will be a 10% tax. Don’t you think that is very important information?
