Guild Wars 2

Probably not, since people get offended by such things these days.

I just farm my daily log in rewards. Waiting for HoT, Raids and legendary armor.

Like they nerfed Orr? Same kitten will happen to any HoT content.

Raids will be “too hard” for the casual player logging in every three weeks. Topics will pop up, oh wait they already did…

How “Raids should not have exclusive loot”.

Eventually devs will listen and we will be stuck with all casual content once again.

Anet tries to please every single person playing their game at once, and that will happen to HoT as well.

Just wait and see.

If less than 30% of the active player base participate in Raids. BOOM, they will pull a Taco.

I would say buy the Season 2 on the gem store and let it guide you to the new maps. Will keep you busy for a while.

Google “World boss timer gw2”

Also check out LFG tools for some farms /SW maps etc if that is a thing you like.

Bookah?

Captain Unusual.9163:

Literally the only information we have on it is the announcement at PAX. If they didn’t talk about it then, no one knows.

Anet most likely knows.

Serious.7083:

For most things you don’t need the actual item, you can just get the code from the wiki for it and ping that into chat.

Yup, but then you wont feel like a special snowflake

Zalladi.4652:

As it was from a retailer, I doubt it as once the physical serial code is activated, you can’t really return it. You are more likely to get a refund if you had bought it from the official site here.

You can always try to get a refund by contacting the retailer, but it will be a challenge, so good luck.

Was there not some reply from ANET about this when the sale happened earlier this year? I can remember wrong, but I got in my mind they mentioned something about retailers.

how are they supposed to get ascended amulets?

By buying the full game.

exactly, gw2 is still considered a btp game not ftp

No, the core game is free to play. The expansion is buy to play.

I think they should of offered a 20 dollar “account unlock” for those for some reason dont want HoT. Thats just me.

I dont see a reason to play the game doh, if you dont plan on getting HoT. Unless for the free PvP now.

Keep it and in 2 years ping it in chat. People will ask “Woah what is that?!”

- Worth

Take a look at tempest. Now Warriors, thiefs and eles can spin.

Dont see what you propose ever happening.

They remove the trait that reduces CD’s on banners. It stinks, but it is what it is.

I think the CD part were pretty much confirmed that they totally forgot about it and will either be made baseline or come with some trait later.

IMO it should not be baseline. Being able to have almost 100% upkeep should not be baseline. Just toss it into the regen trait and I would be happy.

Why not make it baseline? It isn’t going to be OP.

I would rather have a stronger trait where you need to choose, than a lesser baseline option.

Especially when thinking of battle standard.

And if you really think about it, having utility skills that have almost 100% upkeep, sort of speaks for it self. It is too weak.

Would you not rather have it be a better effect, for say 50 seconds? Than being 90 and on par with a passive trait you can pick?

Its a skill after all.

Because its “not in the theme of warriors to convert conditions to boons”

Offerande.5240:

The average playtime per week is around 70 minutes or something. You might want to keep that in mind.

Think the most people play a lot more than 70 min in the week I thin around the 15/20 hours is normal

You think the average player plays 3 hours a day? As I said in another reply I cant find the link.

Electra.7530:

I have not been lucky with the tequati event. I’ve noticed fewer and fewer players doing it. Last 2 times I went, we didn’t succeed. Not enough players and we were getting wiped nonstop.

Use lfg and be atleast 20-30 min early to get into a good one.

Did you say week? then i can understand why everything was moved to login ka-ching
They would need dailies like vista 1 ore/1 wood /1 herb in this area, go to this map, kill 5 of this enemy type and so on.

You cant really tune your game to people who play about10 mins a day.

Edit
Same like they cant tune the game to keep me entertained with dailies if I play 5-8 hours a day.

I find my own fun.

Yea I dont say they should. But there is a reason they are easy.

There was some convention panel in the last months. Tried to find a link but I dont remember the name of the video…

I want monthly back too :P

Dunno do chest farm runs in SW? You get obby shards there. You can get them with fractal currency too.

You get them from doing PvP reward tracks.

Or you can find a place with many events.

Back around launch, I farmed some events in Malchors leap for my karma gear. Not sure how viable that still is.

I will post a pic, and you can test it yourself. Think it was either 3 or 4 events there. That pretty much you could do on rotation.

Buy the karma infusion and use karma boost and food.

Good luck.

That lets you see how much all the materials in your storage is worth?

It is a hassle to go trough all your mats noting the number of said material then having to find the material on the trade post.

I would love if there was an API that if you hover over a stack of item anywhere. Bank, inventory, material storage or in guild bank. It would then not only list the standard information, but also asking price and buy price of said material. It would list per item and if you had 99 of X material it would list the buy and sell price of 99 of those as well.

Anyone know if there is an API like this?

Pandeh.5248:

Its just random.

I think DR kicks in randomly for RNG as well. In my experience there seems to be alot higher chance to actually succeed on your first couple of tries when doing just a couple every other day on different characters, than doing it constantly on just one character. But maybe that’s just me.

Yup, and if I had bought 8 less rares than I did I would of not gotten my drop.

I would probably take a break from the game, feeling sad, stupid and that I had wasted alot of gold.

As for MF being affected by DR. I think Anet should and would, and it would probably been a topic brought up by the players throwing thousands of rares into the forge every week/day.

Fenom.9457:

exotics so much better than rares that they’re worth it?…

I put in 400g worth of exotics and 200 of rares couple days ago. I got The Legend at the 2nd last craft on the rares.

Its RNG, but I think most people that have the bank. Use rares, because they are cheaper, and probably not too big of a % chance to make exotics worth it.

People throw up to 2500g in w/o getting one. Some get it at their first, 30th and 50th attempt. Its just random.

Wait so a player played the game, used things at his disposal and should be perma banned?

Got it all pretty much instantly/5min or something. But then again, as others have said took them longer.

So you will never know, you might get some weird bug and not get anything at all. So if you really want to be part of the beta, and going to pre order anyway. Why wait?

You must be leveling really fast to find such a thing annoying. Do you mind making a guide?

I tried to google translate but still unable to understand what you mean.

Assassin X.8573:

Jaxom.7310:

you can’t rally off the lord’s npc’s anymore, which i will miss. it was a fun way of being smart about your attacks and finding a way to fend off multiple players while taking on the lord

Ya… they kind of took out some tactics. If it looks like I might not be able to clear guards and or lord before I get taken down, I know I’m going to wait for downed state and rally off the lowest npc. Now I cant.

Neither for nor against this change. It is just oddly timed I guess. But still asks the question of why? lol

They patched the HP because of condi damage.

They patched the rallying, because people do more damage and probably could solo the lord too fast and rely on rallying from the other weak NPCs?

Now maybe more people need to commit for the objective, rather than simply sending one person that has 100% chance to rally from weak NPCs and can always kill the lord with 0% chance of failure if no enemy is coming for you.

I like this change. I would not mind the other NPCs ressing the lord as well. Just feels dumb that you can just ignore them and strait up just kill the lord with little to no consequence if you leave the other NPCs up.

Kwazimoto.4870:

arenta.2953:

3 trait lines max now

you can reset the selected ones yes

How do I reset them?

Maybe this will help.

You now spend points “training” to unlock the traits you want. You can change the traits at will, but the unlocking is not able to do that.

The reason they went with unlocking for you, is to get you right back in there with the closest traits that you had already picked.

Leveling to 80 will let you train all of them, do skill challenges and you will get it all way before lvl 80.

A lot of it looks bad indeed. But I have two sets I like a lot.

Ill throw in my awesome wizard Asura as well :P

Partey! /12 mooses and dolyaks!

This thread made me go ham at the MF, lol.

And at the 2nd last craft out of 600g , it paid off. I was so sad, but now so happy XD

Im 500g down in MF 3 precursors total. All you need is enough bank, and rng on your side. Eventually it evens out to the price the precursors are at the TP.

Pockets.3201:

Having players return only to find out they need to rename their character is a quick way to make sure they decide not to return after all.

I can’t think of too many MMOs out there that have taken that risk.

Happened sort of with Aion when they merged servers. They added a couple/Two letters to your name similar to the server name you were on previously.

But yea, not a good idea.

Akashi.3245:

Pandeh.5248:

All your doing here is name and shaming a group of players.

Which is against ToS.

Report the player(s) if you suspect them of botting.

If i wated to name and shame, i would have posted their account names. although i didnt take Tos into account, im sure this by far goes against something more then Tos

You posted a screenshot of their character names did you not?

Only reason I am replying and concerned about this, is because I could simply made a similar screenshot of totally innocent players.

All your doing here is name and shaming a group of players.

Which is against ToS.

Report the player(s) if you suspect them of botting.

I dont get why people pay for such ridiculous limitations.

Wll if you have the whole game downloaded, dont you have a command/service to look how much you have used?

Go to LA/DR, or just play the game. Then look up how much you have left after X hours?

Personally when I had issues with my broadband back with GW1. I was able to play the game perfectly fine on ISDN with 0 lagg. Then again thats years ago.

Before the first beta event even happened:P Got the client before it started.

15.04..2012 – 02:11 GMT +1

So far this sure inspires me to level my Revenant from scratch when HoT launches

Amazed how many character some of you have made/playing!

Probably because a lower % of the player base actually plays them. So money spent to develop them are not “worth” it, I guess.

I do not play ele, but this looks strong lol.

Imagine 2x that on Stronghold playing defense.

Hey all As a player myself I only got 6 character slots and only got four level 80s. I guess I am in the minority of the veteran players, as I have probably 80% of my play time on my Warrior:P

So I was wondering how many characters people actually have.

To make it easy to look through I would ask to follow this format listed below
Z = Total number of characters
X = Insert number of characters for said proffesion
Y = Insert level(s) of said professions.

Copy the below and insert your numbers:

Total Characters: Z

- Mesmer X – Y
- Guardian X – Y
- Necromancer X – Y
- Ranger X – Y
- Elementalist X – Y
- Warrior X – Y
- Thief X – Y
- Engineer X – Y

Thanks all I would love to see actually how many characters many of you out there got :P

“If you mean update today, you get nothing of specializations. This is just the preparation of that wich what already exist.”

Err what?

Today we get all the BASE specializations, not the elite ones.

So getting nothing today is pretty wrong.

You will have everything unlocked if you are level 80. Or you can unlock everything before 80 if you do hero challenges as well(Skill point challenges).

Basandra Skye.4031:

Nah, I’d rather them devote their time an energy to more pressing issues, like if the ecto salvage rate was secretly nerfed.

Come back after salvaging 1000 rares while recording.

Then we can make another thread about ecto rates.

How much gold has the TP evaporated?

How many precursors has the Mystic Forge generated?

How many precursors has been looted from Skritts?

How many times have we died?

Who dies more often in PvE, us Europeans or Americans?

How many times have we killed The Shatterer?

How much magic find have we all together generated if there was no cap?

How many times have we typed /dance?

Okay, I am running out of questions.. I have one left.

Would you guys want ANET to release a graphical chart on some of these and/or other questions?

I will just bump this in case anyone @ Anet sees it and can either confirm or say no.

Dont bother posting a reply unless you have a valid source to an answer.

Zui.9245:

The last time I soloed Lupi was just for “fun” on various classes after they broke him. Haven’t done it since; best boss in the game being broken is too soulcrushing.

How was it broken? Have not done Arah in months, and never solo Lupi so I am curious.

Phil.7903:

You should have sent the report instead of closing it.

:D Yup

Pretty sure there is a reason why they ask for you to send a report.

If everyone closes it all the time, how can they fix it?

Back then I did not know what weapons to get, I already picked the warhorn, shield and sword.

But I still have two sets. So is there a chance to get a vendor so we can buy the weapon designs?
