thats from 6 months ago you as well, i just find it most interesting because i’ve never seen this come up in any other game before.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Comfirmed-Nothing-being-done-re-conditions/first top post has the original quote
the last time i remember them responding about conditions they said something along the lines of they know its an issue, they are looking at other ways to improve conditions meanwhile the reason they don’t track a different stack of conditions per player was because of bandwidth.
Let us know what you think about them and we’ll take this into consideration. Some of these may not make it in for that release, but I wanted to give you guys a high level preview of what we’re working on and give you an opportunity to give us your feedback.
i think a high level preview of whats coming was what most people have ever wanted even if we knew not everything was going to make it. you will never please everyone with what you end up doing at least this gives people a chance to let you know what “we” think of the changes before they go live instead of watching patch go live with no idea what to expect then watching multiple threads explode over stuff while you guys try to do damage control.
can’t say that i still find it worth it to craft but IF eternity looked like that with the day/night concepts it would certainly be a huge step up, great art guys. the red one needs a little night-time sky on it, and the the day one needs more of a sky blue pommel methinks to just keep them within the whole day/night thing but hey that’s my opinion.
Maybe s/he had a life :o
Holiday for example, nice summer trip.
I agree, the design is unfortunate.
yet they have no guild OR friends that are willing to help them with this achievement at all, how strange. it’s nobody’s fault but their own for putting themselves in this situation, you want to be a loner and play an mmo by yourself then you deal with those consequences if on the other hand if you do 1. belong to a guild or 2. have friends that play also, and NONE of them will help you, once again your own fault for associating with useless people that don’t help.
i’ve had several guildies who have waited til the last minute to do those funhouse achievments, but they got helped by other guildies, why? cos thats what “we” do.
fix crappy camera issues, don’t place it in a zone that may or may not have 100 other players.
^ this, im more concerned about the basic things gw1 got right that gw2 has not regardless of how much time has passed.
if i had to guess, its coming “soon”.
I’ve seen rift and wow have ways of tracking “lists” of achievements for zones and stuff, simply leaving things you haven’t done greyed out and ones you have done lit up brightly. they DO actually have a system in place for tracking which path you do everyday because obviously if don’t get the gold (or silver for story mode) at the end of your dungeon run, then that’s because you done it. keeping that in mind, somewhere somehow something knows what path you do of a dungeon, why they don’t show this in the achievement section somehow?
if i had to guess it would be pretty much a development cost/time issue, how much effort is required to do this compared to other stuff we want to do, if THEY think it’s less important then it goes down their priority list. like i said it’s just a guess because I’m not sure what else to think when i see things like this and wonder.. why did they not just do what the other games already have to begin with.
yay halo firefight.. i wish.
the last boss is terrible in all 3 paths, especially this one. no amount of elitism and l2p will ever change what was clearly a terrible design decision by whomever created this boss. it will get changed one day “soon”, if you don’t like it don’t do it, if you want your achievement suck it up and get it over with.
unless tonnes of people decide to drop real cash for gems and then covert them to gold, its not gonna get better anytime soon.
would be nice to know if we could vendor these BEFORE the event ends when most of us would prolly have deleted them much like what happened with the supporter tokens from the previous event. i guess wait and see if you cant vendor them after the patch then assume they are worthless.
no one forced you to lose 20 gold on it, he gave advice and it didn’t work out for you. i had no issue using all the stacks of leftover sprockets i had to buy a couple hundred warrior boxes, i ended just over breaking even and didn’t really care for it but prefered doing that rather then just selling the sprockets for next to nothing.
considering the release is almost imminent i doubt theres going to be any reward changes to it, i’m sure they have already considered all the possible choices and are happy with what it has ended up being. i’d like to assume you would at least get one or a few ascended materials (of which there are several to collect) for at least your first attempt everyday, but who knows.
Yeup. Sometimes playing this game is messy. But you get by. One day at a time. /cartman cop voice
how does the champ loot work in fractals? if i do end up doing the same fractal at a different difficulty does the same champ not drop the bag of goodies?
its something that’s been needed for a while, although as most have noted for it to have a lasting affect the source of these excess mats needs to be adjusted accordingly and lowered. perhaps the sky people visit every few months to eat our excess mats? i doubt that would work since interest from players prolly wouldnt be as high as the initial visit unless they had new stuff.. but its something at least.
terrible idea for an achievement. considering you want to avoid the barrage aoe’s because they do a nifty amount of damage on the off chance you do get hit, unless your somehow watching horrik as you run around to avoid his specifically.. seems too difficult to get legit unless you are perfect with your avoidance/dodge. in other words average players need not apply.
removing the confirmation window would at least half the annoyance, seriously though why does buying a food worth literally no currency need a yes/no confirmation?
considering there was less than 3000 of these on tp.. i doubt that many people made anymore then a 100 or so gold once they were made masterwork. before that happened tho.. yeh there was lots to be made.
i don’t see these mini’s making any difference to cost of rare/exo pets unless it drops low enough to make it worthwhile forging for a rare in the first place. at a cost of 30-35s throwing 4 of these in the forge requires you to succeed in a rare return at least 1 in 3 times to actually see any kind of real return, good luck with that.
posted about this a few weeks ago, pretty much every reply universally agreed, silk and thick leather is getting ridiculous and needs a “change”. anet prolly knows but realises it wont be as simple as the “dust” fix. i don’t think a new sink is the only solution, reducing its drop rate alot is also needed.. this stuff comes from just about every loot bag thats level appropriate which can be pretty annoying.
lol since when is gettin a jackalope garanteed? theres like 6-7 exotic pets and theres numerous rare ones it can also turn out to be. price dropped from 200g almost instantly and is barely holding at 70g for the jackalope meanwhile all the rest are way below that.
another money-grabbing RNG box, the cosmic ballet… goes on.
if your happy to lose and get nothing, then buy as many as you can fathom. otherwise be content with missing out (again perhaps) and make do with what you can get.
nice to see how serious people take their fun. yes clearly everyone should get banned from the game permanently for ruining an optional pvp-based mini-game which has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the game. after seeing how crazy it is in one match i felt it was kinda boring but i guess others just can’t help themselves and won’t play w/o it.
i don’t see why people don’t use some common sense and NOT play until its fixed? you have a whole month to play the kitten thing, getting all angry and worked up because its not working perfectly day one because of some kitten doesn’t fix or change anything. reporting these people if anything is making things worse by wasting the time of those people who look through those reports that are lookin for genuine cheaters and exploiters.
two problems, the pve culling can really hurt here and the scaling is ridiculous. seriously champ reef riders that chain lightning and champ poppers??? wtf does a suicidal karka scale up at all, the normal ones are bad enough. the smaller vet karkas that use that steamroll move can wipe tonnes of ppl at once ontop of the normal karka using their opening volleys and reef riders using chain lighting attacks, just smash ppl who arent hiding behind feedbacks/walls of reflection.
they like adding gold costs to everything so its not just some “alternative currency” being used as an easy way to get stuff. remember wvw gear used to be badge only, then it got dropped to lvl 70, now the “new” wvw gear is badge + gold, even the gift of battle now costs 50s when before it was badge only. what they seem to forget is the gold costs pretty much makes it not worth getting most the time, especially when the skins arent even anything we havent seen before.
the crates drop the old stuff and the newer stuff (being the 2 mini pets, and scelerite tokens from the crate). on a side note the settler keepsakes/reef mini are just straight drops from the mobs. i opened 40 crates and didnt get anything old or new, go figure.
there was a nice spot people farmed up until recently it got turned into scorched earth.
i remember seeing bots in the same area many months ago, and when i tried farming there w/o said bots i was prolly lucky to get 4-6 T6 in total per hour w/o any magic find gear, so i didn’t bother with it too much. it didn’t look like it had changed at all since then, mobs all seemed to be in same spots/patrols, several nests which spawned a skelk upon destruction, the major difference now being an extra 200% magic find buff which made the place alot more viable than before, yet this apparently is just a 7 month old bug.
that being said, instigators are now gone, and the new events which involve various karka veterans/champions mostly steamrolling people, but i won’t go into that here. the problem is simple, if the best way to get something is by buying it with gold, CoF p1 spam is always the answer and everything else including dungeons, fractals, meta events) come a far second.
try finding that “sweet spot” involving other parts of the game too for once.
the best thing to do is simply not want it. the sooner you focus on something else you want, the sooner you will forget about what you were unable to obtain. the random gamble system sucks, unless your willing to lose and get nothing in return, don’t do it.
guess Anet can’t win, people complain when forced to make groups for living story stuff, then complain when you can do it by yourself now..
afaik they put a cap on the salvaging and dungeon hobby achievments which were truly infinite before (now capped at 250 pts) other then that i dont think anything else needs changing just waitin for them to finish the system and add it to the game.
would be nicer if they didnt cost money at all… why does it need a personal investment from players when its a “server wide effort”. i don’t have a better idea than the currency already ingame (karma, badges etc) but i still wonder how much gets sunk into wvw and wasted as people go to sleep stuff gets flipped w/ little effort.
to think it used to be alot worse then the op mentions.
this idea reminds of when they updated the loremaster achievment in wow and didnt give any recognition to those who did it before cataclysm came out (it was super simplified after this).. annoyed me so much, enough that i hate this idea too :\
helps when grasts actually casts the kitten bubble instead of continue to attack normally and leave us to die. as for the arah thing running past stuff isnt an “exploit” its just poor dungeon design, that rumblus wall thing is lame tho.
prolly cos they never bothered to add a recipe that allowed such a thing :\
wouldn’t hurt.. seems the only ones you can craft are mostly terrible.
not sure if its possible still but when i did this the doubloons were 25s, using the ‘right’ gems in the forge you can easily end up ahead. its boring spamclicky work but it might be your best option if your tight for money. the copper→silver idea was mentioned many many times before and nothing happened, basically the idea of gettin them from the forge increased their supply drammatically.. ironically the price of the doubloon still went up.
harvesting is good xp while levelling regardless of what mats you get from it.
too many of them resemble croquet mallets rather than actual 2h hammers. precursor/magmaton, hotw and corrupted hammer are the only decently sized ones. so many of them have the “head” peice way too small or are just ridiculous skins ie; the kitten anchor ones.
jam look at ebonblade or aureate highlander those are about as normal as a 2h sword can get and look decent.

unicorns that crap rainbows.. what a world we live in.
/agree with op. it feels like they are relying on the “weak” who spend $100s on those chests hoping for their lotto numbers to light up, instead of going for the more “steady” approach of just pricing those “rewards” at reasonable prices.
would they sell more skins than chests if you could buy whatever skin you wanted at a set price? i guess they aren’t willing to find out.
the irony was you could of bought 3-4 of those dyes with that 25g, lesson learn methinks.
what is wrong with the normal sickle animation? just use that and keep the fountain spurt thingo from the consortium one, fixed.
these threads are always good for a laugh. you had high expectations and those got crushed, lesson learnt.
only thing worth getting is the scelerite tokens. better off buying the mini’s and the “old” skins sell for next to nothing now anyway.
this is the first time they’ve done this, well it happened with wintersday but lets be honest, those stat combinations were just plain awful and i have no idea why they even bothered. my bet is short term answer no, long term they might add them later in a fractal or some molten dungeon legacy type place.
find stuff to do that earns you 5-6g a day, and buy 2 per day in less than 2 months you will be finished.
