New legendaries potentially being introduced, less sources for mithril, along with those ingot sinks.

Yeah, that’s my problem. Elder wood I hardly get enough of through salvaging and gathering for the daily in normal gameplay* while mithril ore drops like candy and I’m almost always maxed out on ore and ingots.

*I’m using 4 hours maximum gameplay time per reset period as ‘normal’ and that’s doing dailies [~30min], fractal dailies [~2h], and farming LD [~1h 30m].

I think ANet realizes this and has added tons of elder wood trees in all the newer maps starting with ember bay. Mithril ore, however, has yet to be fixed. Not only can it be mined, but it also drops so frequently from salvage. Part of the problem is it’s salvaged from weapons along with armor instead of just heavy armor and weapons seem to be weighted more for ore and less for wood.

Actually, if you have someone blocked, you’ll get an error message if you try to message them and you’ll appear as ‘offline’ when they try to whisper you.

I actually liked the salvageable items from the new maps gotten as event rewards. Why ANet didn’t just fix the salvage rates for kitten leather from those and tone down the hardened leather resources needed to craft things is beyond me.

The fix, in my eyes and with my limited information, was simple; adjust the salvage rates and crafting needs to find a happy medium.

The whole point of skills that root you is to make it so you have to plan when you use them and not just spam them. Readjusting them to let you be mobile while they’re cast would require a re-balancing of every skill that roots you.

I, being one of her friends, can back up this statement as I was the one to suggest making a forum post about it. I hope she gets her account back.

Yeah, I can see your point as I use a few pieces on a character. The stink is absolutely magical though!

I’d actually enjoy map comp on alts if there was some sort of benefit to having done it on another character.

Such as if after the first 100% map comp one obtains, it made heart tasks optional on future characters and boosted exploration exp by 15%. Then the second completion giving account bound waypoints with a 10% increase in exploration exp to discovering areas, points of interest, hero points, and tasks. And finally, each subsequent map completion awarding a permanent 5% exp boost to map exploration experience.

Alternatively, I’d just go with the blurry paint effect on the map was turned into a grayed out, more detailed version of the map after my first map completion for all of my alts so I can navigate it easier.

Hexinx.1872:

Charge is already a skill name (they don’t do same skill names cross professions), but I like “Incoming” +1 to that

Yeah, they sure don’t

I have to ask, what ‘struggles’ are the transgendered NPCs going through in Tyria? Every NPC I’ve seen talk to Kas and Jory seem to have little care that it’s a homosexual relationship and Sya even gets praised for living their life the way they want to. Not to mention in the Sylvari story there have been hints at and even outright statements of homosexuality and pansexuality.

Tyria is not the real world. Characters in it do not suffer from the same strife. Besides, I’d rather something like that happen naturally in the story and not be forced in ‘just because’ and I trust ANet’s writers feel the same.

In short, no, I don’t agree with Sya being part of the main cast.

What Qugi posted is good, but there’s actually a whole website devoted to it with their own little forums.

Check it out! There’s hub guilds for just casual finding of RP and more serious guilds with actual plots and such. Have a look, make an account and say hi, we can always use more.

I’d just like the whole map to be faux revealed in grayscale so I can stop getting lost in Lornar’s on my sub 100% characters. Is that too much to ask?

How about instead of any account wide map unlocks, if one has removed the smudges on the map, those become grayed out but detailed for all your alts. Thus making map comp so much easier. Everyone would still have to do map comp on each new character, BUT they wouldn’t be doing it blind anymore.

Or… have screenies of all the maps with route detailed out open on your 2nd monitor and run thru the maps in a wiz!! lol

While I already do that, I like having other things up on my monitor while I play GW2. IfYouKnowWhatIMean.

I’ve thought that too, as it’s always so hard to work out which areas of the map are smudged due to not being discovered or smudged due to ..art?

But then again.. I really enjoy that feeling when you enter an undiscovered area and it reveals. So, I don’t know. Undecided.

Or maybe… keep the areas smudged but on the alts show the locations of all the poi/vista/hps so at least you know where you need to go and still retain that joy of discovery?

Well, basically, it’d be like a 100% cleared map with nothing discovered and gray-scale, only it’d color in the areas as you ‘discovered’ them. I’unno, I thought it’d be a pretty swell reward for getting map comp on one character.

Except the holiday and event achievements were made clear that they were going away as the events themselves were temporary. The only achievement so far that wasn’t temporary was Festive Imbiber and ANet even came out and said that was the only achievement from Wintersday that would be available all year.

I believe the problem here is not a clarity error on ANet’s part, but a reading comprehension on your part.

I actually think a compromise would work rather well. The ‘fog’ is removed and replaced with a grayed out version of the map for all alternate characters when you reach 100% completion on one of them. You can see everything you haven’t discovered with no more stopping at scouts to find hearts. Your first time through has that blotched out, less-than-detailed fog, but your second time is replaced with a black and white filter over the map that gets ‘colored in’ as you discover the areas on the new character.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Item_nomenclature The stats you’re looking for are called Valkyrie. Primary power, secondary vitality and ferocity.

Valkyrie is cool, but lacks the healing for my sustain and I went with thoughness instead of vit because i last longer on heavy hitters.

The closest stat set at 80 is Cleric’s. It does not have primary power. If you’re after toughness and vit, you could mix Cavalier’s [primary toughness, secondary power and ferocity] with Valkyrie. Alternatively, you could just go soldier’s stats for the power primary with the toughness and vit secondary.

If ANet kept all other might stacking the same and just added this along with buffing the auras a bit, I wouldn’t mind at all.

I’ve yet to encounter any of this ‘toxicity’ that people keep going on about. Can anyone enlighten me as to how to see it? Do I have to ask questions in a rude manner, insult other people’s intelligence, purposely grief an event, and/or destroy a player made farm in order to see this?

Tuomir.1830:

I’m afraid of squirrels and I want a squirrel pet for my ranger.

I think I might have a solution. Put all chests back to spawning as frequently as they used to, but only become available to dig up AFTER a successful breach event. I mean, there’s 5 minutes of downtime before everything gets going again. Perfect time to farm chests.

“… And close shut the Jaws of Oblivion…”

And those are the ones who eventually get a forced vacation.

It was far too rewarding for the time and challenge that the part two boss offered. 3g is a bit much for 1 minute.

An exploit was found with the end rewards. Until that is fixed, I expect it will be down for a while.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

It would not be possible to roll-back an account for the reasons stated above. Computer security is the responsibility of the game account’s owner. Your friend will (as you posted he/she has) just need to be more careful in the future. Condolences.

That ‘Computer security is the responsibility of the owner’ thing can be said about everyone who’s ever gotten their account compromised, and I don’t think that’s stopped ANet from rolling back some accounts.

What makes this case any different? Someone else accessed an account without the owner’s permission. The only difference I can think of for this case is it was on a computer in the same network.

Answer found. Thread can be closed

Material node farming, solo dungeon paths and sell them (harder the path the more money you can charge), play the trading post, and/or kill mobs in high level zones and hope for bags/t6 materials.

Keep them. The festival is a yearly event.

the texture, once it became what you see in that picture, didn’t revert until I ran the -repair shortcut.

Fan is fine on the GPU; PSU might be slightly under-powered though it’s what was recommended to me for my GPU; GPU hasn’t moved and is still firmly in the slot; I only have one PCI-E slot on my motherboard.

Thoughts: Probably best to upgrade my PSU, but I plan on building a new machine soon.

Not a bad sector, maybe it’s caused by a slightly underpowered power supply for my GPU thus not loading the textures correctly?

This happened again in fireheart, I know running the -repair will fix it, but is there a way to stop it from happening?

First off, yes, staying defeated needs to be more punishing, if a defeated player sticks around, it does scale up the event. Secondly, if the game is going to kick a defeated person out to character select, there needs to be a way to ‘bookmark’ your spot on the current shard you’re on at least for a few minutes. I think moving them to the nearest waypoint after a minute or so of being dead would be a better solution though.

Alternatively, ANet could just make it so dead players don’t scale the event, and don’t get any participation rewards after 60 seconds of being defeated.

There needs to be some kind of mechanic so the lazy players can’t just tag, die, and force the people who actually know what they’re doing do all the work.

Okay, so about my computer’s GPU: HD7770 2g DDr5 VRAM.
This happens even after completely exiting GW2 and logging back in.
This seems to only have happened in Gendarran Fields and only effects the grass texture.
Running the repair shortcut now.

EDIT: repair shortcut fixed it, this thread can be closed.

I was following around a few of my friends from Harathi into Gendarran and then this happened.

I don’t see why not. Another challenging world boss wouldn’t hurt.

It’s the fractal tonic.

What I don’t understand is why the original set of town clothing you start out with wasn’t converted into an outfit. I’d like to be able to dye the starting set of town clothes again.

Being able to have one universal look for all of my armor no matter what other skins the equipment has. Basically, if I want a specific helmet skin all the time I have to transmute it over EVERY helmet I have. With this system, you’d skin it once (probably at a premium) and no matter what you equip your look wouldn’t change.

Whitelist mail and whispers.

An easy solution to all of these problems: Give us a list of megaservers we can join. Something with options such as (Home Server), Megaserver 1, Megaserver 2, ETC. That way if we feel the system didn’t put us in the right server, we can easily jump to another one.

I don’t understand why town clothes weren’t given a separate 6 equipment slots and be bound to a hotkey to be swapped like weapons/attunements/kits and would persist through combat and cost no charges to swap pieces.

Selling 40 stacks of silk scraps for only 1g a stack/40c a scrap thinking that the supply was so much silk would never go up past 50c.

boy, was I wrong.

Not gonna lie, it was funny for the first few hours.

The novelty has since worn off though.

All ambient creatures to legendary status with ambient slayer as the daily for that day.

Aeolus.3615:

Remove the option for players to be in several guilds at the same time, make it like gw1.

I disagree, I’d rather be in five different guilds that are actually specialized and decent at what they do than one jack-of-all-trades guild that is only average and only has the promise of a large roster.

So a game that has lore that focuses on guilds isn’t supposed to have guild UI and features?

Forget I asked because this will just lead this thread tragically off topic.

Drakent.9605:

Creates bad player’s :
since player can kill bosses so fast, they have no clue on how to avoid getting hit or aren’t used to the idea of avoiding damage that if they are in a group that cant down a boss under 20 sec they start dropping like fly’s and start blaming there death for the lack of dps not b/c they didn’t use there dodge when standing on the red circle

Those are bad players to begin with. I’ve dealt with slow kills before and I only use zerker in dungeons, and I infrequently go down. Any group that has at least two skilled players in it can be carried through almost any dungeon.

Drakent.9605:

Shuns Classes:
I have play all classes to lvl 80 and I find none of them to have any dps issue , yes some class will do a bit more then other but no such a huge difference to call the class bad or unplayable but the zerker build works so good with a warrior and guardian far better then any other class because there classes is build to take on some damage before they have to pull back on the defencive making them the class of the month since the point of zerker build is to stand in 1 spot and burn the boss HP

DPS builds are about saving time and killing things before they can kill you. All classes are capable of similar DPS and are chosen based on what utilities are needed in the dungeon/instance.

Drakent.9605:

Destroys game mechanics:
MMO RPG are all about learning mobs weakness and strength , always been about what is the best weapon or skill to use on a boss and learn what attack a boss does.
This game has all that but can be completely ignore since zerker build can dps the boss so fast that it doesn’t aloud the boss to do much.

Dungeons are a puzzle that have been figured out by the elite players so they can get away with going all out offense. All enemies have attacks that can be negated with reflections, blinds, aegis, evades, and/or stability.

Please, if you’re going to complain about something like the DPS Meta, at least learn how everything works.

Let’s see here in no particular order

• Guild overhaul. Make it easier for guild leaders to manage their guild and guild members to be part of more than one guild.
• Dungeon boss encounter and mob rework to make other builds viable as not all the mobs will just stand there and take your DPS.
• Bug fixes. Because nothing is more infuriating than getting a game/mechanic breaking bug.
