Let's talk about Amalgamated Gemstones.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Mobott.5908

So, Amalgamated Gemstones. Yea, those things which are basically only used for crafting the new Set 2 Legendaries. You need 250 of them per legendary, and they’re going for about 3 and a gold at the time of this posting. Earlier today, there was a bit of a scare as the price jumped up to a whopping 6 gold! While the price has since stabilized, this is still a problem we need to worry about. The orbs/crests/doubloons used to make the gemstones are currently at 30s and rising. One gemstone uses NINE of these orb/crests/doubloons (which, by the way, is WAY too much Mystic Forge clicking for 250 of these things), and because of this, the 250 Crystalline Ingots are the most expensive part of the new legendaries (yes, the ingots add up to be more than the Mystic Tribute). Furthering this problem is that there is no way to reliably farm these materials, unlike most of the other stuff that goes into a legendary.

It’s evident that the Crystalline Ingot was designed to lower the surplus of items that were essentially vendor trash. However, whoever decided this clearly either underestimated how many people would be making the new legendaries, or overestimated how many of these orbs/crests/doubloons were in the economy. Either way, this problem will only get worse as more legendaries are introduced. As more are introduced, the prices on these items will drive the cost of the new legendaries out of anyone’s reach, especially if one of the next ones is a popular one like a greatsword.

It’d be nice if Anet could give us some sort of news on this before it gets even more out of hand.

Because Engineers have bugs that haven’t been fixed for 3 years, our dev never posts in the forum, Legendaries aren’t even worth it because of our kits, etc…

Can we fix char run animation?

What’s that, you say? An animation fix on Engineer? Sure!

  • Toned down effect noise on Bomb Kit number 2 skill. Again.
  • Fixed a bug where Legendary effects would show on Engineers.
  • Fixed a bug where Orbital Strike had more effects than intended.

Yes I’m salty.

It’s more expensive now because all of the ascended mats went up in price. If you were to craft them yourself or just wait until the prices go back down, it should be cheaper.

Why do the new areas need better PCs??

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Mobott.5908

Mobott.5908

They didn’t make the new areas require a better pc on purpose… The new maps are much bigger because of the different levels, and since it is a jungle, they have a lot of foliage. Both of these things make a game more resource intensive.

I still haven’t preordered.

Well since the game is already live it’s no wonder you can’t pre-order

HoT isn’t a preorder? You must be “having a blast” in raids… owait… Maybe you’re using a swag new legendary weapon… owait… Maybe you’re playing awesome new WvW features?… owait…

Also on a thread related note, i’m doing map completion and taking bets on whether or not it’ll be locked behind HoT too (and by extension legendary weapon crafting).

Nah, but I am having a blast with my elite spec, and with the new PvE content (and the gliding), and the story, and the Revenant, and so on…

Could we have kits be stowable?

in Engineer

Posted by: Mobott.5908

Mobott.5908

I know this is very low priority compared to everything else, but it just seems like now’s the time to add this.

A lot more people are going to be running Juggernaut with Scrapper, so this is more relevant then ever. In order to keep that stability and might up, a Juggernaut has to constantly keep their flamethrower out, except to switch it off and on for Streamlined kits.

Having the flamethrower be constantly in your hands gets annoying though, considering it causes visual glitches whenever you mine or use an emote, and also if people want to see their race’s normal running animation.

Basically I’m just asking for the kit models to act more like normal weapon models. In all honesty though, I don’t even know how something like this works behind the scenes, so I just want a response on whether or not this can be something to look forward to.

If Charr are cats, shouldn’t they be terrified of water? Well, they’re not. You can’t assume that what’s true about cats is true about Charr.

Cats are not terrified of water. They are almost entirely made of water and need it to survive.

On the other hand, though, charr are also not cats.

I didn’t mean it that way, I was talking about how cats don’t like getting wet.

I was under the impression that the toy frames could ONLY be used for the toys, and I believe others thought the same thing. But now it seems that there are Tonics you can make with them. So, can we please get a way to turn the toy back into a frame or to get another one? I just think it’s a little unfair that the tonics were kept secret.

Break mini's back down to their frames?

I don’t really care about the grenade nerf, as only the #1 skill was nerfed and Poison and Flash Grenade were buffed. Besides, Anet has said that they are working on making kits scale with weapon stats, so it’ll balance out soon enough.

I’m too busy enjoying the fact that sigils work with weapon kits.

Wintersday Concerns About the 'Feeling'/Atmosphere

in Wintersday

Posted by: Mobott.5908

Mobott.5908

The reason Wintersday is like this is that the human gods who previously ran the event, Grenth and Dwayna, are along with the other gods, much less influential on Tyria than they were in GW1. So, Wintersday has slowly evolved into “toy season”, much like our Christmas.

As for why it’s Asura that are running it now, well… Asura are arrogant little kittens, and they’re using this to prove their superiority.

I'm am Engineer, can dialog respect that?

in Engineer

Posted by: Mobott.5908

Mobott.5908

While it would be nice, I think the idea is that the technology Asura use and the technology that Engineers use is different. Engineer tech is more like Charr technology.

As for the dialogue, that’s just because Asura are like that. Even if you’re as smart as them, they don’t like to acknowledge that.

Alternatively, turn the mortar into a Siege Kit. Still occupies the elite slot, but gives a bit of flexibility in the kind of weapon to drop.

YES. Now the skill could be useful. However, it should be that once you place a siege weapon down, you can’t pick it up or change siege weapons until the next skill cast. You know, to keep it balanced.

It’s for a Black Friday sale. It works exactly like anything on Black Friday.

If you don't attunement swap, your doing it wrong

in Elementalist

Posted by: Mobott.5908

Mobott.5908

I feel like the attunements need to be more isolated than they are now. Right now to kill something, you need go Air, then do a skill, then go Fire, then do that skill, then Earth, then Water…etc.

I just feel like the attunement swapping idea would work so much better if the attunements were dedicated to a main purpose, as in:

Need single target DPS? Go with fire.
Need healing? Go water.
Crowd Control? Air.
Tankiness/DoT? Earth.

That way, you could trait into 1 or 2 trees and become really good at doing two things while having the other attunements for “oh kitten” moments.

Many here have complained that Anet isn’t commenting on the Elementalist forum and doesn’t seem to be listening to us. Well, since Anet is doing AMAs next week, we might finally be able to get an idea of what Anet is trying to do with the class.

While I agree that Anet went back on their word, I think they had good reason to. They might have been worried that if the game was too innovative in the DE system, it might not have sold well (we don’t know if that would’ve been true or not, but oh well). This explains why Anet still left in some traditional MMO concepts (Hearts are basically the same as quests in other games).

GW2 is not perfect, but it will hopefully set an example that future MMOs can expand on.

Keyboard and the Elementalist

I use a Razer Nostromo and a Logitech G700 Wireless Gaming Mouse.

I don’t have any bindings on my mouse, but this is my Nostromo setup.

http://imgur.com/12vMS

11, 12, 13, and 14 are blank because I’m not sure what to bind there.

This setup works in that I hold #1 + one of my attack buttons to switch attunements so I can minimize time that my fingers are off WASD. (I’m like you and don’t feel comfortable taking my hands off WASD, which is why I just click on my utility skills.)

Okay seriously, what do I do?

Okay, thank you guys for all the advice. I’ve been crafting my armor with Tailor, I didn’t know that the best way to get gear was off of TP. I’ve been trying to go with daphoenix’s D/D build and that’s why I put my first 10 trait points into Air. I thought I had an active enough defense, I guess not though. What is a good general skill rotation to use while fighting?

Also, I’ll try out that LH build when I manage to get to lvl 40.

I was nearly at the verge of crying today. I’m on my lvl 22 Elementalist, and I was trying to do a dynamic event. I was having so much trouble and kept downing and dieing. I call for help in chat, AND A FREAKING WARRIOR COMES AND BASICALLY SOLOS THE THING.

I don’t want to reroll to Warrior. I already tried a Warrior before and I didn’t enjoy it. I’ve tried most of the classes, and Ele is the only that I’m really having fun as. The game shouldn’t be forcing me to play a class I don’t want to play. I though ArenaNet made this game so you could choose to play so that you have fun. Doesn’t seem that way right now.

Now, is there anything I can do to fix this? I’m attempting to use dagger/dagger. Most of my armor is lvl 20, and I don’t know which trait tree is best to spend points in…most things I’ve been seeing say to invest 10 points in Air first for a speed buff, and I did.
