1. Make Zenith skins account bound instead of soulbound please.
2. Let Original Poster delete posts
Why? All of the trolls here and Anet won’t delete all the troll posts, unfortunately.
Hi,
I’m a little confused about the TP. Is the TP across one server, two servers or all servers? Does the NA TP include the EU TP? Are they one and the same or two different TP’s?
Now the exchange is 1g31s/100gems. This is crazy. I’m trying to rationalize how the black friday promotion could be responsible but it makes no sense. Why would things costing LESS gems cause a player-induced demand for MORE gems?
I stopped reading after this, after I realized your state of mind. Is this a serious question? You’re trolling us, aren’t you?
I remember when ectos were only 12 silver at a steady rate and long period several moths ago and I was still making money on them, so how is 28 silver a bad thing?
I would like to see more character slots. I don’t know about most of you but it took me several character rotations to figure out which type of class setup i liked best and during that time frame i had to delete a class or 2 that i wanted to lvl up later on but sadly now my roster is full and i’m unable to play as those characters. it would be nice to have enough slots to be able to make one of each class that way ppl will be able to play each class whenever they wanted if they so choose to without having to give up another
“Skip this, skip that, skip everything, skip skip skip.” That’s all I see in dungeons these days, and I’m sick of it.
Then why don’t you start a non skipping group? Why do you deny people the right to play how they want? What makes you the one that should decide how people should play? And finally if skipping is such a terrible idea why do people do it all the time?
It NEVER saves time, it only costs more time because there is always someone who dies later on and then he/she has to walk back, again past those same “skip”-packs, and dies again and again because noone wants to run back to help kill those packs like they were supposed to do in the first place, also, half the time skipping fails in the progress and then the whole group ends up dead and the whole story start over again.
The problem is not the skipping itself, but the fact that people want to do it despite the fact that they are not skilled enough to do it correctly. And since the problem is not the game itself but the people Anet has nothing to fix.
I have the perfect solution to this skipping-nonsense : If you run away far enough the enemy will stop chasing you and run back to where it came from, how about skipping that enemy-behavior from dungeons, so this whole useless time-wasting skipping stuff is brought to a halt and we can play dungeons the normal way.
Removing of leashing trashes was discussed a lot of times and people provided ideas to overcome it and continue to skip. Also for most of people skipping trashes is playing the game normal way. Do you really expect someone who runs a dungeon for nth time to kill all the trashes just because you want them to? People just want the reward and they want it ASAP so they skip. And there is nothing wrong with that, it’s just human nature.
Correction : people try all the time and fail a lot, making a non-skipping group takes hours because almost everyone INSISTS on slack-skipping, nothing but impatient wow-kids out there who want nothing more than a room with a boss who has 1 hp so they have to do one attack, get a chest to loot and have there gems plus experience. And I can say the same for you : if you skippers make a group then clearly state you want to skip instead of doing it the normal way.
You clearly don’t understand. There are 2 problems, the first is that skippers tend to charge in a pack, attack a bit and then run off while the rest is still fighting, like you are supposed to know they want to skip everything when they dont even speak. The second problem is that skipping is possible, so yes, there IS something Arenanet has to fix if they want to help us get rid of that time-wasting skip-nonsense.
It’s not human nature, it’s the nature of impatient kids, taking down a pack takes 1-2 minutes and because of all the stuff I already explained in my original post, AND in this one, it saves atleast 10 minutes, so yes, EVERYTHING is wrong with skipping, and it needs to go back to Pandaria, it has no place in this game.
no, you’re wrong. skipping = faster. if u think otherwise it’s because u don’t know what u r doing or u do not know how to play/trait your chars
Ectos are far too easy to get. That’s the point. The market is going to get even more flooded with them. The devs have stated they like ecto as a currency. It’s not going to be a currency of value, if it keeps getting inflated.
I still don’t see what the concern is. You can’t just say “ectos are far too easy to get,” and not qualify that statement. By what metric are you assessing their ideal price and availability? What sort of horrible economic disaster do you think is going to happen if ectos continue to enter the market at this rate?
Without any kind of context, or demonstrable consequences, your concerns about ectos are almost a non sequitur. What is it affecting? Why do you think people should just arbitrarily be paying more, or working harder, for this one specific material? Why is it bad, if their price on the trading post goes down? Are you worried that people will cease to require them, and stop playing the game?
Ectos are essential now for:
Legendary
Ascended back pack
Earrings(optional)
Exotics
If prices drop, getting these items will be very easy and essential drive people out of the game faster. Also, as I already stated(for those of you that cannot read very well) ectos are suppose to be a currency, according to the devs. Guaranteed rares = price of ecto drop. If I do this event I know I’ll get a rare. 10x = about 8-9 ecto easy + w/e rares you get from the chest too. Times this by how many players? almost 900 k that log in every day during 6-9pm. The market is getting flooded. Flooding the market is NEVER good.
I’m not sure if this was posted already or if it is working as intended, but when Guardians use their shouts they hear them client-side, but there is no audio for other players around them. All the Warrior shouts are audible to everyone else. Shouldn’t Guardian shouts function in a similar manner?
please no, please let wariors be glitched and fix them
So the mechanic was fine until you got your new job? Very interesting.
Of course, but how else to realise an issue until your circumstances change and it becomes aprarant.
A roll over seams a good idea, arbitrary cut off times can never suit everyone and the games is supposed to be designed around the players after all.
An idea with no downsides that i can see.
“I suppose rolling over the daily achievement could work here in GW2 by simply having it stack up to 3~7 days worth. That way, those who don’t get to play everyday has a certain grace period to play catch-up. I can deal with that!”
+1… BUT it is a DAILY………so
You are given a daily monday, if you don’t complete it till thursday after reset, too bad you lost tuesday’s through thursday’s. But the actual achievements from monday is not reset with the server resets.
@Orc Slayer: That’s exactly what Arkham’s proposal was trying to address, the fact that most finished items sell for less than the cost of the component items on the TP. I personally don’t believe that would be an issue as market forces would correct the price of the items on the TP to match pretty quickly. If one can earn more money selling an item to a vendor rather than on the TP, people would do so. Supply drops, forcing people who want the finished item to offer more for it, until the price one can earn for a Gold Ingot on the TP is more than what they can get for at the vendor.
The bigger problem I feel this would lead to is that it would destroy the market for finished goods, while massively increasing demand for raw materials. Why bother buying the finished item from someone else if you can just make it yourself?
no it’s not. " i don’t care, i’m trying to improve vender [VENDOR] value"
post by op
“I don’t care. I am talking strictly about the vender value. What happens to that because of the insane whims of the community are not a factor in this.”\
Oh and, the TP’s homepage (current prices of legendaries, most items bought etc ) is not current with the recent prices (10 s for unid dye when it has been going for 14-17s a pop for a month strong) SO i doubt anet could even code your suggestion correctly.
As continually suggested by the ‘support’ team that says post here because developers use this, not the tickets: reset time needs to be to the server midnight, not all servers reset as the first time zone in the world turns midnight. for east coast US players servers reset at 8pm, which is in the middle of most players online time. this is highly inconvenient, and has cost me achievements numerous times since it’s not like i can move across the US to get a better time zone to play the game i want to play. it’s also not like this would be something very difficult to do.
Ahh man, last time I checked ( albiet it’s been a long time) but 24 hours is 24 hours.
It resets at 8 PM Eastern, you’re mad cuz you missed it. Boom happens again and again because you fail to adapt. Well here it is for you then. WORK YOUR DAILY BEFORE YOU LOG It’s 8 pm and it just reset, so you can A. do what you have been doing and not do your daily or B. do half your daily before you log ( takes about ten minutes) and finish it before the reset the next day or C. start and finish it at reset time.
I’ll tell you what your parents/ teachers should have told you DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE do things ahead of time. See my post up above as to WHY the current system is so good.
Please consider changing the montly/daily reset timer to be based on local time. For many players it currently falls right in the middle of prime play time. Having it reset when you are almost finished is frustrating.
I realize that no matter what time is chose this will happen to some people but it would at least be an intuitive time for the reset to happen at midnight in your local time zone (you know…when the day/month changes…).
For the daily, it might be even better if you could complete it only once per day and your progress was saved until you fully completed it (ie. start it on monday and finish on tuesday and not be able to complete again until wednesday.).
good and BAD ideas.
Ok Good:
Server reset based on local server time.
Bad:
Resets at midnight
-Reason: You are a way from the computer ALL DAY on monday. But you still want the laurel for Monday. You just missed Monday’s laurel, when you play on Tuesday.
– Same scenario but the way it currently is (Reset at 8 PM Eastern). You are away ALL day on Monday. You come home Tuesday at 4 PM Eastern time. You have FOUR, hours to get Monday’s Daily and then Tuesday’s daily resets.
The way it is set up now is so you can miss a day and not get punished.
Personal Experience: I can play on Sunday, Wednesday, Friday,sat ,sun.
So I get sunday’s daily on sunday, Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s daily on Wednesday, and Thurday’s and Friday’s daily on Friday, sat on sat. I miss one laurel a week with the current system. IF it were changed, i’d miss monday, tuesday and thursday.
24 HRS is 24 hrs. work tuesday’s daily a bit before you log off on monday night
and when the prices on the tp go up or down? e.g 1 gold ingot is 33c, x3 = merch value @ 1.05s .Tp gold ingot shoots up to 1 s/ingot (3 s total) and merchant value is still 1s 05c…
World Completion currently is 90% Solo/PvE based, and 10% World vs World based.
Now as someone who personally doesn’t enjoy World vs World content, this suggestion may seem a bit biased, however i can provide some valid points, that i feel anyone would agree with, of course i may be wrong, but the whole point of this suggestion is just that, a suggestion, it doesn’t need to be implemented or even considered, just an opinion that someone has whom feels would make the game slightly better.
Now on to the suggestion.
World Vs World needs to be removed from World completion, simply because it’s pigeon holing players that are working towards world completion, and are enjoying it, because they’re doing so at their own pace, however once you’ve completed all the zones and all that’s remaining is world versus world, you’re forced to be actively playing WvW content in order to get full completion.
Forcing players into content they do not enjoy is not a good marketing scheme.
So here is my suggestion.
Remove the World completion requirement from World Versus World, and give World Versus World it’s own stand alone completion that rewards something relating to World vs World, either a huge chunk of blueprints or something entirely different, I’m not sure what would Appeal to players who actively do this content, so I’ll leave this one open up for debate.
TL;DR As i wrote a lot.
Remove WvW requirement from World Completion and give WvW completion it’s own title/achievement/rewards.
1. what is TL;DR
2. This has already been posted a lot. Go RESEARCH the forums and add to it so the dev’s know how popular it is instead of just posting a new one. Please switch or delete this thread
Probably should have opened the ticket before opening and selling the items you found after getting your account back.
Ok games are a different set of laws but i was thinking hey my car was stolen got it back there was all this stuff in the boot that wasnt mine so i sold it.
Well this is why I’m curious as to whether or not I should put a ticket in. If they decided to remove the gold gained from the bags, and give me back what I previously had, I might end up on the losing end. I’m really not sure as to what I actually had before I stopped playing. It was quite a while ago.
I am pretty content with getting a free level 80 though.
So instead you post it on the forums which the moderators read. Think about the consequences of your actions.
They should be account bound once you make them; they should but soulbound after you equip them. Why? So you have reason to keep playing the game ( get on the treadmill, the legendary way)
I tend to get bored with the game as well, but it is my own fault. I’ve played it to death so to speak. And what I would really find interesting: Living Story, Being a Guild Master, and other things are beyond my grasp. the reason is school and family. I’d have to devote a serious amount of time to actually being active instead of logging in killing stuff afk for a bit repeat lol. I probably play more than the average person, and this has made me a bit bored but again that is my fault. There is many other things I’d like to enjoy but just can’t right now. But this doesn’t mean at some other time I won’t dive into the content. 1125 Hours 3 months.
dude that’s an average of 12 hrs a day….. school = 15-35 hrs a week depending on level and the average person sleeps for eight hours…. so you play 12 hrs, sleep for eight hours and go to school for 4 hours… on average
I do fractals when I want I’m just saying that I have to do Fractals to keep on par with others in WvW
No you don’t.
I have a character that I leveled from lvl 2 to lvl 80 in WvW.
I have never done anything other than WvW with him, so he clearly don’t have access to Ascended Gear.
Even so it is very possible for me to stay on par with others in WvW.
Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that you can get access to all but one kind of Ascended gear released without ever doing a single Fractal run.
you leveled from 2 to 80 in wvw, you are a revive bot. You are easy to kill. He said to keep on par (aka be equal to his enemies) he has to get ascended gear (if they have ascended and he has exotics, he is at a disadvantage.) In the future please try to refrain from this behavior.
In RL you have to be paying attention to the person throwing the gernade to have any clue as to where it lands. Looking at the ground with your back turned to them does not give you any indication of where it is going to land.
This. So no matter how great your RP reaction time is, you would still need to see the person throw the grenade.
It is completely unreasonable to ask someone to code a game that shows red circles only if you are looking at it. Time better spent somewhere else in the game, aka expansions.
My wealth is ABC… So..? Just play n enjoy the game. I can understand ppl getting worry abt money in RL, but even in a game, u start to worry abt money…
to see which accts to hack maybe. btw my wealth is undefined at the moment, I currently only own the servers Kaineng, TC and FA. My tp taxes come in at a regular basis, but I make about forty thousand gold every half hour.
I love seeing all of these threads that state how a simple change would fix everything and then seeing them get voted up.
Does anyone realize the impact this change would actually have on the game, the market, or the economy? Or….is it just the fact that you want what you want, but feel the price of what you want is too expensive so rather than working for something, or god forbid, saving for it…..you want it given to you?
It really has nothing to do with what I feel. The price of the mats I mentioned are messed up. It isn’t an opinion it is just a fact. The fact is that Anet created recipes that require Crystalline dust to upgrade mats, and put them in the game. Since they are there we can only assume that they intended them to be used and to keep a link between T5 and T6 mat prices. Using those recipes currently loses you 1.5-3g per use. Clearly that is not the original intent. Before the original changes to bags, the conversion recipe did just that. It held the prices between T5 and T6 within the margin or uncertainty for the output of the recipe. Once dust changed, even though the other T6 mats were dropping MORE frequently, the prices still rose due to the lack of dust to keep the up-conversions going.
I did misspeak however when I said “directly replace” the chance for silk and leather with that of dust. That would make dust just as valuable as silk and leather currently are, i.e. no worth except to vendor them. A better method and explanation would be to increase the dust chance significantly, remove those worthless mats from the possibilities and change the probabilities for all other mats as little as possible.
Mithril and Ori are both salvage from common armor as well, but they have both maintained a steady and reasonable market value. The reason: They don’t drop in droves from T6 bags. Heck, you can even mine for Ori and Mithril and they still maintain value, so the problem seems to be linked to those bags.
I love seeing all of these threads that state how a simple change would fix everything and then seeing them get voted up.

If you read the post then you would know I didn’t say reading my mind and I DID say that I new what target I wanted to pick. No duh clones confuse people. There are many times where it doesn’t and I know the exact target I want yet I have to click tab 5 times to get to it or more.
AS I SAID BEFORE. Let it prioritize what is directly in front of you.
The picture should explain what I mean by in front of you. So that if I know exactly where someone is I can just look at them…press TAB…and BAM I targeted the person I wanted because I CAN see them.
I click on them, problem solved
It’s not that easy. It does, at times, take ten plus clicks (not lying). Once, it was so bad I had to have a party member target them so I could just hit T to assist and it was a boss fight. MY auto target was off (good ridance).
well, for the mean time, you can rock the HoM armor, or the old primevil (I know, spelled wrong) armor from the gem store.
I completely agree though, more choices are essential. I mean the transmuting option is SO GOOD! But we do need more armor skins, please. Even old FoW/ Vabbian/Kurzick elite (ohhh man) Luxon elite ( drooling) would be awesome.
That may be but making repeat threads because of something you want doesn’t make that change happen. In fact it is against the ToS, if they change their minds it wont be because of the players it will be because of their own reasons. Again if the search function was used you would have known that.
Well first of all, I’m not creating new threads, I clearly did use the search function, and reply to an existing thread. I even stated that I have indeed seen the original response 6 months ago. However, this is the “suggestions” forum and I’m showing my support for a “suggestion.” If you have a problem with that, you can take it up with ArenaNet.
Pukka is right, lay off him. Never does not really mean “never will”. At their current stance it will not happen but perspectives / leadership roles do change.
Pukka, honestly, I do not see this happening. Why? The achievement points in the Personal Story Line. Hope that helps.
Although they do not seem to play their own game ( content realeased with a lot of bugs… fail testers?), they actually do. So making a suggestion post about it is detrimental to the whole moving forward idea as the devs are wasting their time on this kitten. And of course the kitten’s mittens too.
I know my suggestion is very class based. But anyway.
I dislike the red circles. I play an Engineer and use granates. I have a 1500 range which is great. But I never hit someone on this range.
I throw my granate and it takes 3sek until impact. But even if my opponent is not looking at me he knows the impact place.
It is hard to guess where I have to throw the granate on an constant moving target. But it does not make sense to guess and to try to throw the granate into the correct direction I will never hit because of the red circles on the ground warning every opponent.
Granates are really useful in close combat.
This was a good laugh, thank you
It is grenade(s) not Grante(s) and it is Sec not Sek.
I play an Grenade engineer and I have no issues with the red circles, I can hit my target 8 of 10 times. Sounds like you just need to invest more time into learning your character better than coming on wasting time asking for senseless suggestions like this
Sorry, but since you were mean about the spelling thing I can’t let it go. Not an Grenade engineer. An engineer, or a grenade engineer, but not an grenade.
Fair enough I made a small grammatical error although Grante is no where similar to Grande, and Sec or seconds is no where near Sek. Also I was not the only one to point out the spelling. But I accept the fact I wrote An instead of A.
nowhere* rather than “no where.”
..anyways, I think if rangers can place traps that don’t have a red circle until you step in them then it’s not such a crime to ask for grenades that don’t have a red circle.
Traps are, by nature in RL, meant to be invisible ( no red circles). Grenades = a visible projectile (In RL, you can guess where its destination lays). Hope that helps.
While i agree that having to accept a friendrequest would be nice, i disagree with the “if a person knows character A they shouldnt be able to know character B without me telling them”.
It would open up a whole new range of trolling. In your examples you are the person who wants to be able to switch characters to avoid stalkers, but lets turn the tables. You are being stalked by a person who knows your charactername and who has a dozen characters himself… They would be able to troll you to no end just because you would not be able to see that character A is character B and character C. Instead of having to block 1 person you now have to block several characternames and you still arent “safe”.
Same issue counts for guilds. Character A robs your guildbank and leaves the guild, 2 weeks later character B applies for membership, no-one knows its the same person. He gets accepted and robs the guildbank again..
These are just some issues that could arise if you follow the complete anonimity path.
i got stalked on gw1 but could never report him because he was noy in the same map. i blocked him and would clear out my blocked list every six months or so (forgetting who the troll was) he would immediately start pming me again. So, you (mord) have an excellent point. I can imagine this person making multiple characters just to harass people.
I do not think this will happen, I could be wrong. Reason: personal story / personal story achievements.
Also, Please move this to the “Suggestions” forum, as it is more appropriate.
…but since there will essentially not be craftable higher tier gear introduced to the game, what happens to the TP when everybody has all they need for their characters?
how is this overthinking? you did not make a statement.
You have to make a statement to overthink something?
Huh.
yes, all he did was ask a question which is not overthinking but thinking . If he said I believe xy and z will happen as a result of T, or maybe M will happen because of T, what do you all think? That would be overthinking something. But here he only has one thought, a question of which he doesn’t know the answer to, so no extra thought. . .
…but since there will essentially not be craftable higher tier gear introduced to the game, what happens to the TP when everybody has all they need for their characters?
how is this overthinking? you did not make a statement.
yeah pointless with stat combos withouer at elast 1 offensive stat, since a full support, or a full defence build in a group is deathweight, everyone should be doing some dmg, all the meanwhile they support the group and ensure they themself can survive
we would like to be able to do a setup of “pure tank, pure support, pure dps” build as we like the maxing and perfecting of one aspect of the team, we do not want to be the “all in one build of superheroes” we do not find it fun…
if you disagree there are planty of sets which you can choose but we would like the ability to choose this one for us
personally i think the sets should be able to have the stats that you like them to have (3 different stats of x value depending on the stat.).
a team of 5 all doing some dmg, some support and some control would be far more effective than a team of 5 where 2 deal ONLY dmg, 1 ONLY do support and 1 ONLY tried to tank (and in the end likely fail horribly at it, as aggro is not predictable in this game). That is simply how the game is made to work
i hope a 5 man team is more effective than a 4 man team
ps. please add the stats listed bt op..or any variation of the three
You don’t really need to gear up that often. I usually buy new armor and weapons about every 10 levels but even that doesn’t really feel necessary. Unless your gear is way below the level of the area you are in, you probably don’t need to worry about it.
my alts run starter gear till better is found. i once had a 70 with (one or two pieces) lvl 15 blues and i was fine (admittedly, i was aguardian and not a squishy )
but back on topic, I don’t see the point from OP. I believe it would be a mistake that you would later regret. As someone said, you get scaled down, so I do not see the problem.
Jumping feels ok on humes and especially asurans. On my max size norn guard the camera is a pain in the behind and it feels like he keeps banging his head on the ceiling, so I usually just do JPs on an asuran mesmer.
I can finish JPs on the norn – even the one in EB – but it takes a freaking long time because I can’t see straight.
camera angle needs to be fixed. just a thought, let land rocks etc be oulined but let the user see throgh them instead of forcing an angle where it is impossible to see
If Anet started to condense servers, people would freak out. Basically, the underline theme would be: The game is dying and Anet is trying to save it. Hope that helps.
EDIT: I have played on a low pop server in WvWvW and it was not fun. They will not change this system as this was one of their major marketing ideas, to change it would prove they failed. IMHO I believe if they did AB style game play ( faction vs faction vs faction) instead with multiple worlds, it would run better. With that said, you would most likely never see the same commanders again,let alone same people/ server camraderie player x was on the third server of EB yesterday while today he’s on the ninth.
GW2 TP is awesome. Not only is it good for our game, it’s good for the industry.
Like to emphasize how the TP is good for the industry? blow your own trumpet by all means but don’t make silly immature statements.
It’s good for the industry because it demonstrates proof of concept. Not only for massively global trading systems, but for increased efficiency as the virtual economy scales.
HOW does it demonstrate proof of concept?
How does the TP show increased efficiency? IF you wanted it to be efficient you wouldn’t require us to run to an agent to pick things up. Things sell just as quickly on this TP then it does on WoW. WoW set the standards and you’re not even up to par with WoW’s standards, them let alone leading an industry.
TP- Did not work at launch for how long again? Oh right… like a few months….
TP DOesn’t work how often? Pretty much like atleast ten times a day it encounters an error.
TP Loading takes how long? Well let’s see… about ten seconds to a full minute.
WoW loaded how long? Instant
WoW had how many problems? Virtually none.
You did beat wow here though, in WoW you had to go up to an agent to sell, on the TP you don’t. I guess you win there. . . . .
How is this good for the industry?
All you did really was take what WoW already put into action and made a lot of changes for the worse( errors, loading time, not working correctly initially) and one change for the better ( sell anywhere in the world).
How can something that is dead be dying? AC died after anet decided to change something a lot of players liked (from being amateurs or just having inferior intelligence?).
