I totally agree on this. I mean even during the bazaar of four winds event had the spirit race where even though the race was deemed complete you still had to move around or risk getting booted from it. We need something to boot those AFKers, least on the main servers, not the overflows.
Think maybe we can report them and have ANet disconnect them so people from their home servers can actually get to play in the Teq fights. Nothing more annoying than spamming for 3 or more hours to join your party only to keep missing fights.
I am loving the new Teq fight, along with the buffs the other world bosses have gotten. No more auto-win. I am waiting for the day all world boss fights are synced across all servers.
Golem Mark II and Fire Elemental, you cannot stand under him any more, you have to watch your feet at all times. Frozen Maw his health been buffed yet again. With the exception of Claw of Jormag, all bosses have a 15 minute timer. Claw has a 30 minute timer. Haven’t looked at other world bosses, like Shaman in Fireheart Rise, or the one in Ashfield Plains.
Well this is a good way to spread teh wealth around. I’m on Tarnished Coast and managed our 4th kill today on Teq. It would be a good idea to guest on a low pop server so they don’t have to guest to BG or TC or the other servers that managed a kill. Just have to set up shop first, then announce it.
I was lucky to get in after that 5 minute patch popped up. However, it’s getting rather hard for other TC natives to get in for their chance. Had a few calling me rude asking politely for the guesters to step down. . . after the second kill was made. . . to allow other TC natives to come in.
I got my kill and planning to NOT go back there. I am not after of the achievements in there. I might go once after the daily resets, but that’s all. He is part of my boss rotation afterall.
You are right only unique buyers.
I hoarded 4 storms at one time
DO you know how many players have several of the same precursor in their banks?
I am repeating same things over and over….
but more than anything dev post about precursor is OUTDATED and can be interpreted to be true even without denying market manipulation.
He is smart to say monopoly is impossible…
But being an economist i really tend to see him as biased when i look an economy where most skilled players have to farm and give a hige part of their gold to people playing TP minigame that are rich to the point of not having anything other to do with their golds than flip.What exactly is this bias that our resident economist has? What does he have to gain with his bias?
Anet do have a bias in keeping the image of this game to be pristine. Recently, Anet asked one of their Dev not to speak to GW2 community for opinion while developing. It was reported on Reddit as well as the Dev’s blog post (explanation for cease interaction). It went on to talk about image of the game, etc etc.
I disagree that it’s to keep the image that this game is pristine. We know it’s not, the forums are all about it, we know. What they wanted to keep in check was that communication would be professional, which is what every company, not only Anet, does. That’s why they have publicists or they release official statements. No company likes off-hand or casual remarks as they can be used against them later on.
We have already seen that in terms of the economy, Anet is willing to conceded that there are some concerns. E.g. Murdock last year stating that precursor prices were higher than intended (and we will get a fix for that a year later ;}), or when John Smith already outlined that they are aware of gold inflation but have mechanisms to combat it (which they brilliantly did)
I think there’s something we missed and Murdock might had giving a perfect answer to that spike in prices. Even though that was when the game was launched. Just kicking this idea around for a little while now.
There’s the off-chance that someone got Dusk back when the prices were higher than expected, and placed it up there for that 1.1k gold price. At somepoint, it was bound to be bought, cause the supply would had gotten to the point where that overpriced item would been the only one left or close to it.
All from what the graphed showed was a sudden jump in price then a sudden fall. I haven’t looked, but has anyone looked at the custom prices for these items. I normally look at the price and how many are available at that price, when I buy items like ore in bulk as an example.
Glad I saw this thread. I was on not too long ago and didn’t notice it, now I have a fun new character to play the other races as a throw away slot. Story line to the three orders missions, just for the race achievements.
I’m having a similar problem. I can see the gem store, convert gem/gold and pick up any profits. However, I cannot buy or sell any item, nor can I view any transaction it’s permanently showing the loading circle.
Closing out the game entirely is not even solving this one.
I’m with the OP on this one. The Molten Alliance event didn’t have a recipe to learn the insignia (unless I didn’t see it as a dropped item). So when the reset does hit, relearning to craft that item now becomes that much harder. Not cause of the mats, but the fact the insignia isn’t something that was learned via a recipe. I did get the one for making the unlimited Molten Berserker Tonic and that would have annoyed me if that was gone (which seems to not be the case).
When you already have a level 80 character, the exp reward for crafting is not much incentive.
I agree on the idea of an ingame representation of WoodenPotatoes. Just not sure what race would be best, guess it would be based on the one that is used most often in the videos.
Just be glad he didn’t increase them – to remake the funds he spent on the campaign.
plots to “remove” Kiel.
I like seeing the community doing something nice for others. Reminds me of Children’s Week in WoW where they had several needed events in the Battlegrounds for the title achievement. They would literally allow players on both sides to complete the task for the credit.
I think I might ask if I can come in first, just once. For the achievement and nothing else. I won’t play the race any differently, so it’s not like I’ll drag my feet just because. I just have to hope the game servers won’t be an issue.
I been having the same issue. That was the first thing I was checking too, I ran it with Task Manager and my DSL connection running up so I can track the computer performance and the connections upload and download speeds. No point was there any kind of hiccup or spikes anywhere that could make for this to happen. I’m thinking this might be a result of ANet’s systems unable to maintain a high volume of players at this new area.
To be clear I do not get this kind of issue when it’s a full zerg on zerg in WvW, with AoE spam from Hades.
Every server does the JP camping. I lay odds everyone had attacked another player, even by accident in there as well. I do feel that it is a low-blow tactic to camp in a spot where another player cannot defend themselves, like the well. It is a PvP zone, so one has to accept it. I don’t even want to count the number of times Fort Aspenwood did the high road camping near the end of the JP near that dome, just to keep the mesmer from porting people up there.
Guess I’m one of the few from TC that tries to not PvP in there.
Wow. . . never thought about asking a group of racers if I can come in first. . . only to obtain the achievement, I don’t really have a purpose of having the title itself. Only title I even use is “been there, done that” for the 100% world completion.
Doesn’t matter if one comes in first or dead last, the reward in the chest are about the same. My best placing was 2nd, and I haven’t even seen any better from when I was 12th.
Well there’s a good reason to level a toon to 80. It’s not like once the event is done and gone the recipes will vanish. Heck I sat on a complete cooking recipe from the Molten Alliance event till last week.
Doesn’t really bother me in the slightest, mainly cause I had four different level 80s cover all 8 crafting professions.
Nice, I was always trying to figure out which container to shoot for. Knew the taller one had the grounded power up which is always a bonus. It’s the best to avoid the lightning rods, gale, and fake power-up. People put the later in the “best” locations to cause the most problems. If you know what to look for, you can always avoid them.
Got to 2nd one time cause of 3 back to back Light Travels, sometimes that buff is at the right part to avoid the most troublesome sections of the race. Had a few times where after using it, I got rubberbanded back to the location I was at before using it. . . so annoyed at that glitch. Before you say it, it was not caused by my internet.
I only got the wind catcher when I came in 6th. I only did 25 races, just enough to get fan favorite finished. I had ran into too many glitches to make this enjoyable. Rubberbanding lightning chain falling short or overshooting platforms. Air assisted jumps not jumping at all.
I don’t have a connection problem, but for some reason. Anytime I use the new abilities in the new area or even in the race, I suffer from constant rubberbanding. I even had Lightning Pull overshooting and undershooting. Air assist not leaping as high or being hit with invisible walls that seem to only show up when I use the ability. Air Assist loves to do most of the rubberbanding during the race. I even had Light Travel rubber band be to the spot I used it.
This is not enjoyable at all.
Starscream got it right. Some have learned that during the second part of the Shatter event the fewer people doing that, the faster it gets done. So not as much is needed to be gathered. Hate to say it but bosses should be scaled up based on the number of players actively fighting it. More health, deals more damage, and “for the fun of it” a massive one-hit kill ability that has little to no warning to dodge roll.
Would be interesting to see a boss that’s so random no one will know when it will spawn or even where. I’m thinking along the lines of the Death Wing pre-release event before Cataclysm. He was so random, different servers had him appear in different areas and different times. I would like to see such a boss that will cause the zone he’s in and the surrounding zones to become contested so people can’t just “show up” for the fight.
For LokiAlpha, to remove the reward at the end will not make the event any better or more fun. It would just make people not do them. For Frozen Maw, for instance, only the first part might be done solely cause of the Renown that’s right there. You need incentive to get people to do something. The sense of accomplishment is nice, but it will not get people to stay interested.
I do believe a monthly limit, per account, for the number of times you can get a chest from a certain event needs to be in place. There should be a tracker of some kind to let the player know where they are on that limit.
The person who cares is the person who’s bandwidth this person is leeching without permission. The .net owner has beeen given a cease and decist by the owner of the .com site and he has refused to do so and continues to leech data.
Whether or not the site has a better format or not is irrelevent at this point unless you really just don’t care about ethics.
Yeah it’s a real sad shame when the youth don’t seem to really care about ethics. I lay 9 to 10 odds that if the shoe was on the other foot, something would happen to .com. This reminds me of the legal battle over the WWF.com site when the wrestling federation got it and wildlife had to deal with the leftovers.
I swear .net needs to be dealt with on a legal level. Leeching is becoming the new phishing scam. Oddly enough webroot won’t even let me view the .net page.
Think the one big option that needs to be placed on the table is to have Fotoh approach A-net in talks to selling the rights to the .com site so that the coding can be used in-game. That way, the .net site becomes completely useless and Fotoh will have something that everyone can enjoy without having to tab out.
I would use LFG more often if it was an in-game feature. I’m an old WoW player that got use to quickly getting groups together using that feature.
