Free trial starts today. Do you want to invite new players for a trial and give them a patch that changes a lot of skills 1 day later? In addition, there have been numerous links here and in other threads pointing to the 15th.
Then they should give the patch before the new players pouring in so they can play with the fixed skills.
Like I said, these threads won’t exist if an announcement of when the patch will hit live exists. The event is on the 16th however, the patch should go live before the event and if I remember right happened during the Halloween event too.
There would be no threads like this if there is only an announcement.
ANet really needs to start working on communicating with their playerbase. The whole ascended gear blowup incident could have been mitigated if it was properly released to the players. The reason that whole thing blew up was because the players found out about that thing through a 3rd party media and that site did not worded it like how ANet wanted it. As of now, they use Twitter, FB, reddit, forums, blog, in-game characters and 3rd party sites with no clear one-stop website with all of the announcements. Right now, we shouldn’t see this post if they made an announcement that at certain time a patch will be out.
I’m happy as long as there is a hand to hand weapon set coming out. Everything else is just icing to the cake.
I’m sorry but when and where do I first encounter a Largos? <- Serious question.
(1) NA players: excellent ping on NA servers, workable ping on EU servers
(2) EU players: excellent ping on EU servers, workable ping on NA servers
(3) Asia/Oceanic players: tolerable ping on NA servers, terrible ping on EU servers
(4) Russia/etc players: tolerable ping on EU servers, terrible ping on NA serversPlayers on (1) and (2) have the luxury of choosing between NA and EU, players on (3)(4) don’t have that luxury. If you merge the servers or place them in the same WvW match, they cannot play. Take this into consideration please.
This is exactly the situation right now. 3 and 4 have delays and at a small disadvantage against their counterparts. And merging would be a problem right now because for WvW to happen these servers would have to be at the same data center to happen.
The problem is WvW was supposed to be 24/7 but ANet split the servers. If there were international servers, there won’t be coverage problems and it would be fixed on due time with transfers. But the forum posts then would be problems about ping since the servers are only on one data center.
FFXI only had one data center. EU FR NA ASIA players were made to play on Japanese servers. People were able to communicate with other players with auto-translate built into chat. The problem was Japanese players had the biggest advantage because they have the best latency.
All these people saying that the Oceanic and Asia players don’t complain about the lag are false. We don’t complain because we do not have a choice about it. The NA data center is at Texas and we cannot do anything about it. If there is an Asia or Oceanic data center most of us will be playing there. You can notice the lag during sizable armies fight for points.

Wow this thread derailed so much.
As was stated, I was under the impression the Cultural Armor’s prices were raised because it was being bought and sold for a higher profit. But it seems like the prices were just a huge typo that was skipped over during development.
If this was the case and this is how much ANet intended the prices to be, I’m fine with it. I’d repeat that I was under the impression the previous prices were the correct prices. And I’ll leave this thread now.
I think there is a large gap in between Legendary Weapons, Tier 3 Armors, and the rest of the normal exotic gear.
There needs to be a middle ground of rare weapons and armors to work towards too, that are require half the effort.
I wouldn’t argue that the T3 Armors are in par aesthetically with the Legendary Weapons. It is probably on par with the cost though if you’re going for the Cultural Armor achievement.
I agree there should be middle ground armor but given that the state of GW2 right now is still young there might be more exotics we’ll see. But they dropped the ball on not making new Halloween armor sets(not rehash). That is a huge chance for a middle ground gear.
I’m only level 59, haven’t had a chance to play for a few days and have 21g. If you’re that broke playing many hours a day you’re doing something wrong.
For the record, I ain’t broke. The reason I’m asking is because these were not the original prices of these armor sets when the game came out. It was raised because it was exploited by people. These armor sets total to 10g before it was raised to fight the exploit loop found. And time has passed and possibly the loop fixed or not. So maybe put the prices back to it’s original state to be in loop with the other armor sets like the Orders.
I just want to know if these set pieces would change in the future or it will stay the same. I know the prices were raised because there was an exploit involved around them during the first few weeks. Now that time has passed and possibly the exploit loop has been fixed would the prices be dropped down again or will it stay the same? Currently, buying a whole set of the cultural armor tier 3 set totals 119g while the orders whole armor set only totals to 8g.
Just want to see if this is permanent as I’m starting to save gold for it.
Excuse me Habib but if you are removing them due to cheaters/exploiters does that mean there is nothing you can do about those cheaters? What about the remaining exploits like mesmers teleporting through walls then portaling in their whole zerg and other 3rd party software that allow people to teleport from a tower to a supply camp and back in less than 10 seconds allowing them to build anything in a matter of seconds?
If you are unable to do something about orb exploiters does that mean you aren’t able to do anything about the exploits I listed either?
This is what I got from ANet’s announcement. If they’re taking the orbs out due to partly hackers and cheaters, could it mean they couldn’t do anything about it? I don’t know just saying what I perceived from that statement.
Then I’ll tell you why am I forced to do dungeon runs now. I’d rather WvW than do dungeons. But whatever the achievement is a choice that you can not do and the rewards are decent. I’m also sour that I now have to do dungeons which I don’t find fun at the current state it is. (trash having a lot of hp and little rewards)
The issue I think they need to address are dead scouts. A black screen can stop this.
I finished the clocktower on another toon. I tried it again on another toon for the exotic but when I get on the last jump on the clocktower it always puts me back on the staging area and not on the room with the chest. Is anyone else having this problem? Or we’re not allowed to finish the jumping puzzle on multiple toons?
