Guild Wars 2

Don’t do like me and assume that just because you are leveled to 80 to get the communication device that you can do the rest of the quest line on that character. I think it was an outstanding idea to level characters to 80 and then require portal closes in zones that a lvl 40 or any other low level couldn’t possibly survive in to complete the quest chain was an epic idea. If only the communication device wasn’t SOUL BOUND.

WORST….EVENT….EVER!!!

Martin Kerstein.3071:

Let me explain how this works.

The firework event cycle (them happening every two hours) was started at 9:00 AM PDT. The event itself is tied to the ingame time and will happen at dawn (ingame). So your fireworks might not have happened yet, as it is not dawn ingame.

Apologies for us not communicating this more clearly. But the fireworks will happen every two hours over the course of the weekend, so plenty of time to marvel at them and get the achievement.

Except for people like me that had one chance to view them and planned a schedule around yet another poor communication by Anet. Thanks for the update and I guess I will catch them next year if they have another Dragon Bash. You people need to learn to communicate much better. All we hear time and again is “it was poor communication on our part.” I believe there are classes at a community college that you can take for communication…just sayin’.

Had one chance to get the fireworks viewed and then I have to go out of town for the weekend. Thanks for doing things on time as usual Anet. I expect you will remove this post like you do every other negative thread/post. I hope the delay was to add more RNG, add more DR, reduce drop rates, nerf farms and all those wonderful things you do to us players! Looking forward to your “deleted and infracted” mails on Monday! <3

Just look at the parent company and you will see why there is so much RNG, crap drop rates and over priced item store. NCkitten has poisoned a once great company.

Sad how you can’t even publish proper patch notes because you have the language threshold at a G rating. Elixikittenll got a lot of changes this patch apparently!

There are plenty other threads on this topic. Why do you feel you are special to make another one? Oh and FYI I just finished mapping on my Ranger not but an hour ago. My 3rd completion in fact and I have maybe 3 hours a day to play.

NCSoft already has a game like that called Aion. It too is free to play.

Get out your tin foil hats people…

Regardless of what any of you above posters say, clearly you never played GW1 and if you did it was not prior to the alcohol spam patch…

This thread again? yawn

Try the patch notes instead of making a thread.

Rainbow Sprint.3215:

I’m sure it’s a bug that guesting gives you another chest. Once that bug is fixed, this won’t be an issue anymore.

Though until then it sure is annoying. But don’t implement a change in mechanics to fix a bug, just fix the bug.

If people are jumping servers to get a second chest they need to be perma banned. It is a clear exploit and no way you could say…oh I thought that was what they intended guesting for.

Getting really effin old really effing fast. I have 3 hours from when I get home to when I have to go to bed and I can’t complete my daily dragons because of guesting.

Please explain what’s wrong with representing the guild you’re in? Either you’re a member or you’re not. If you don’t want to represent a guild, you’re motives are questionable and a kick is warranted under certain circumstances. A guild wants to achieve it’s goals. In many cases that means people either co-operate or get out.

I agree with this opinion. A guild is a community of players who explicitly wanted to play together, otherwise they wouldn’t join. So if you join, represent that guild. There’s no use to being in a community when you aren’t an active member of it…

So what you are saying is that if you are in a guild that does nothing but PvE and you have a desire to PvP, you are wrong in seeking out a guild that wants to PvP? The elitist mentality of gaming anymore makes me want to puke. I agree if you have a person that ONLY shows up when the guild missions are going on and could give a care less any other time, perhaps they should no longer be in the guild, but a person that is on say 20 hours a week and spends 10 of it with you and 10 of it doing what he wants then he is contributing to the guild.

@OP Can I have your stuff?

I am going to bump this up and have to agree with Fay. Currently, I get more play time than my wife and some other guildies. I get salvageable items all the time. So, to help both of them out I was trying to send them my salvageable items and I find it incredibly inconvenient to have to wait 1 min or so after 2 mails to the same person. It is easy enough to report and block someone if they are spamming you, so really what is the point of cutting me off after just 2 mails. At least give me 10 an hour.

I also agree with the person that said there needs to be a better MOTD other than hitting G. People forget about that and sometimes there is information in there that they need to read. On the other hand, I remember MOTD wars back in GW1 and it became quite annoying. So make it so that you can only change the MOTD like once an hour so that doesn’t happen, but it should appear when I log in and when changed. My 2 cents.

Yawn this horse again?

Before that sure-loot patch I used to get 1-3 raress from a single event and at least a blue from veterans and champions. Back in those days I was mainly farming those 2 camp protect events in orr.

Then I’m glad this has been fixed.

PS: people don’t seem to get the concept of MF. +100% on a very small chance is still a very small chance.

CharrGirl.7896:

It’s random at times.

No, it’s random ALL the time. That’s why it’s called RNG. And people are really, really bad at doing stochastics in their head.

Silver Halliwell.4735:

I mapped 6 areas since the patch and in that time I got 1 rare, hand full of green and hand full of blues. Rest was all junk. My first character that I mapped with made about 50g just from mapping and drops, however this one made a little over 15. Usually at the end of the day, all I have is junk (grey) and whatever it is I gathered. I don’t even bother with champions anymore as they still drop nothing for me. Sometimes I get a grey item but that is a rare case.

You’ll get exotics for completing maps later. I’m constantly getting rares while gathering/chopping/mining, not to mention the ones from dragons. I actually have ~15 ectos in my bank, not to mention all the other t6 mats, and didn’t farm anything at all and I’m not using any MF buffs.

Mate, I finished my map completion. I don’t count finishing a map and getting the rewards as a drop. It is my second char to finish map completion. I know what the drop rates were and what they are now. They are not fooling anyone.

Still a better love story than Twilight™

IMHO you can feel more and more NCSoft influence as time goes by. Waiting for 30 day mini pets and mounts.

Black Frog.9274:

go to Nageling in Diessa Plateau. The Giant kills the entire town of NPCs. When you rez them, he kills them again. Repeat. Everyone on every server could easily complete this simply by not killing the giant in nageling.

Not like he drops anything in the first place, amiright?

I guess if you have one character or if you never plan on doing map completion on another character that could be an issue, but I just take the stuff and toss it to one of my other toons. I have one from each armor class and it is always something to look forward to when leveling. I don’t know, I don’t subscribe to the doom and gloom of the forums (not saying you are part of that crowd, but reading the forums is comical to me. So much so, I got a warning for laughing at people. I am an evil cyber bully as you can clearly tell.) You could also sell said item for money and then in turn buy the item for your character for roughly the same amount or at a huge reduction in cost. I know none of this solves what you want, but I just like to roll with the punches. Oh well, good luck in your endeavor of convincing Anet to change it to class specific rewards. Cheers.

If you ever plan to get a legendary, you can always dump the stuff into the Mystic Forge and hope for a precursor…

I am on GoM and it is far from dead. OP seems to be overstating things a little bit IMHO.

Yeah, because everyone wants to WvW, right? You have your PvP one and the PvEers have theirs. Deal with it.

It is always the no life losers and lucky RNG people that kitten me off beyond recognition. You get a lucky drop and progress farther than others…good for you. Don’t sit there an preach that people don’t work for it. Back when Aion was somewhat popular, I ran Besh over 500 times (and you can could only do it once every 24 hours) and never got an entire set of gear from the dungeon. For those of you that don’t want to do math, that is over a year and a half. I had enough time to get on and do my dailies there and run one run through Besh ~2 hours a night. So, what you are saying is that I did not work for it? What exactly was I expected to do? I could only run it once a day. Some people, on the other hand, got the full set in less than a month. They worked so much harder than I did at it, huh? I believe they now have a dungeon system similar to GW2 where if you run it X amount of times you can buy a piece of gear…as it should be. No one can ever say that I didn’t work for my gear in that game….ever!

Auesis.7301:

While I agree that a legendary should feel like a proper accomplishment, mine certainly didn’t. At least, it took no real effort. It just took an excruciatingly long period of time.

That said, taking them off the TP will certainly take gold sellers out of the spotlight.

Please tell me that you are a troll. The game is just barely 3 months old. You do not even have the first clue about what excruciatingly long period of grind is if you consider 3 month that bad. I have done grind for about 18 months for a piece of gear that never dropped. Yes, a year and a half of a dungeon that you could only do once every 24 hours. Not every “new game day,” REAL LIFE 24 hours. I will save you the math, that is 547 dungeon runs and I NEVER got the piece of gear. You want to talk about excruciatingly long, bring me a 2 year grind then we will talk, otherwise just LOL.

I don’t understand you people. What is the difference of grinding FOR A SKIN vs. grinding for a minimal stat increase? It probably isn’t going to be more than a 1 point stat difference like crafted vs. dungeon. Get over yourselves. You will grind for a legendary for 1 more point stat, but not armour? Oh well, to the cry babies, goodbye and send me your stuff when you rage.

“Chester Cobblepot”

*Copperpot

Spent over 7 hours trying to do it. Sorry but people with a life can’t spend the 20+ hours some people reported trying it. It is supposed to be a fun event and that was without a doubt the least fun I have ever had in any Anet event.

He thinks it is good until he gets to a week were it is his “PvP Server” against 2 “PvE Servers” and then he has 0 to fight instead of 20.

All Halloween content that mattered for the title was not level limited. This included MKR and MKCT. I do understand that lower levels would want the back piece though as there are like 3 of them in game, now 4.

OP did you ever stop to think that the expansion of these are not done yet with 3 acts left. Please go back to whatever game you came from we don’t need bitter trolls like you in GW.

Talked to Wide Charr last night…great guy/gal. Down to earth and even joked around with me.

What about the tools that stand on the last platform of the cauldron jumping game and knock players off even if they are out of costume and not a part of the brawl?

Coming from Aion, you can definitely feel a bit of NCSoft influence on the store and in this event. Oh well, nose to the grindstone as they say and make money in game for the stuff I want. As soon as the stupid prices for gems goes back down to a reasonable level that is.

Was hoping to see the best PvP video!! Change title pls, it was boring(

At least it had great music unlike some out there. Like that dubstep one.

Hears dubstep, closes.

the keys are not boderland specific according to wiki.

Schlaxi.2674:

…the zone is quite overcrowded at the moment…

Depends on your server I guess. I ran around for about 6 hours in Orr yesterday and only ever saw about 4 real people. The rest are all bots. I am on Gate of Madness and currently it is listed as a full server but no one is to be found in Orr aside from maybe K-trains.

The server imbalances will go away after Halloween is my guess. It is their first major event and people are still settling in. I appreciate that they allowed people a few months to find a server that really meshes with their play style, but I think it is time for that to come to an end. Two months is more than enough time to settle in.
