Holy crap. I had just typed up a post and was about to post it here about this same thing. Was gonna put in it “general discussion” but my spidey sense told me to click here first and this post was right on top.

my post was: "So i was letting my mind wander a bit and all of a sudden i remembered way back before any of the Guild War2 beta’s were out, and ANET was hype-training GW2. I remembered one of the features they were going to make was an APP for PC’s and tablets that would let you logged into your account and chat with people IN GAME. I believe they also said you’d be able to have access to the World Map and be able to see where all your Guildies are and what they might be doing (Kinda just like with the HoT expansion where we see the yellow dots everywhere).

While having the map tool would be cool, i would LOVE to be able to have access to chat with Guildies while i’m outside the game, kinda like an in-house GW2 IRC program. This would be great for socialization when you just dont want to be in-game, but still participate and help others, or just hang out.

Any way this could happen?"
————————

i can’t remember if any reason was given as to why that GW2 program was never made or finished, or if they just let it fade away. But i too would like to have a nice IRC type chat window to talk with people who are in the game.

carving pumpkins gone from MK's Labyrinth?

Since the last patch or 2, it seems all the carving pumpkens have been removed from the Labyrinth. Admittedly, i didnt check every single inch of the place. But i did check all the spots from the top right starting point to the top left corner. I should have found at Least 6 in all the spots.

And when i say gone, i mean there are no pumpkins. Its not like I see them but they are already carved. Not even there.

Halloween Event Info

Special K.8143

i agree that not fixing this till after the event is unacceptable. If this happened last year, where level 80 toons werent getting plain XP during Halloween events, you would of fixed it. But because you have release HoT and all the content that came with it, “Anet” has decided "well, the players might not like that they are not getting XP towards masteries, but they have all the new “shinies” that is HoT, which should distract them so they shouldn’t complain that much".

And there’s already evidence to that here is this thread. People say they are bummed about this issue but will just have to settle doing something else.

What should really happen is fixing this issue ASAP and extending the Halloween Event for each day that it takes to fix. Or retro actively rewarding players their Mastery XP. You might hold HoT content in a higher regard, but since this is XP we aren’t getting towards Masteries, and Masteries are HoT content, that now makes this a HoT problem, not a Halloween problem.

Please fix this now.

i’m sure others have said this, but i cant take the time to read 70 pages of disappointment.

an “expansion” is not worth $50, not for any game. And on top of that, you dont even give an extra slot for the new class unless you pay an extra $25 on top of that. I dont need/want that extra “fluff” you give us in the Silver and Gold packages. i dont care about mini’s or finishers.

All i can think about is back in the day, when Guild Wars: Factions and Nightfall came out. They were stand-alone “expansions”. If you already owned GW1 and got one of them, you paid $30 and got at least 1 extra slot since both expansions introduced 2 new classes.

Any thats what you should of done here. the “Upgrade” package. for $30, a current GW2 player will get just the HoT content and an extra character slot.

If you had that option, i would pre-order now. But as it stands now, i won’t. I’ll wait, and maybe eventually the price will fall. I’ll spend time farming gold to turn into gems and buy and extra character slot. But i’ll never spend $50 for HoT.

With all the money that’s being made on gem purchases for micro transactions, the 3 package deals you presented to all your current loyal customers was a “d!ck move”. Not only that, you have generated ALOT of bad press because of this. Good luck attracting new customers now that alot of your current ones feel burned.

Nex's Ele Videos [NEW - Video 4]

Special K.8143

some constructive critizime about your thread, not your videos.

If you were to have just posted some videos and said, “hey, look at my cool vids” and nothing more, i wouldnt be posting. But since you said you are trying to help teach Ele class and play style, you kinda -NEED- to post your build. and if you are changing your builds on each video, each build should be posted in each video discription.

The reason i say this is because people who really want to learn to play ele and carefully watch your videos or other people videos, will take note of your playstyle. If you are playing super aggressive in one video and then playing for sustain in the next, people are gonna notice the change in playstyle, but maybe not know why if they dont know what traits you are using, armor, runes, sigils, etc. even other ele “pro’s” can probably guess at 80% of what you are running because they know ele. But the audience you stated you are trying to target dont know, and wont know. They might watch some or all of your videos and go ya, he’s pretty good. but then they will go over to posts by Spoon, Dahir, or Armageddon Ash, etc who give out build info for each of their vids. When asked for your build, whether here in the forum thread or on your video threads, the best you said is “oh i’m using a couple pieces of zerker and some blah blah”. Not very helpful.

If you suspect you have hit DR, whats the best way to get rid of it? Killing different creatures in the same map? Moving to a different map to kill? Completing quests on the same map or different map? Running a dungeon?

the reason i ask if that i have eight level 80’s, and 1 of them was camping a boss spawn in PvE to kill and hope to get a collectible. Its not my first, second, or even third main character so i only log into that toon to kill the boss once a day. After 2 or 3 days of doing nothing with that toon but killing that boss, i stopped getting the boss’s daily world boss chest and the corresponding boss chest that appears on the ground. All i get is a gold medal and loot from the boss directly, even if i’m partied up with others and they get the chest, but i dont. So i tried taking the toon into WvW, take a few camps, kill some yaks, cap some towers, actually played the toon for about 30-60 minutes “doing stuff” to try and reset my DR. next day, killed the boss again, still no ground chest or world boss chest. I had to bring another toon to that boss to kill him and got his dropped chest and daily world boss chest.

Whats a good, valid way, of reset your DR?

[Suggestion] Legendary Sigils and Runes

The first step is to make the “Legendary Primer” at the Mystic forge:

Legendary Primer

Mystic Coins x100
icy runestones x100
Globs of Ectoplasm x150
Charged Quartz Crystals x20

srsly, don’t jinx it. i mean easily swapping “enchantments” would be great, but another gold/time sink is the last the game would need. theres already way too much inconsistent stuff like this around.

Anet would decide as to whether or not it would need a time gated material and how much it would cost to make them. the prices i made up a something the average player can easily afford to save up over 20 days while making the charged crystals.

I do too. Especially since Anet changed it so we can change our traits on the fly, when ever we want, where ever we want (while OOC) and also do it for free. Anet wants us to experiment.

[Suggestion] Legendary Sigils and Runes

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Special K.8143

Special K.8143

Here’s my idea for a new tier to the standard minor, major, and superior Sigils and Runes….. Legendary Sigils and Runes.

Legendary Sigils and Runes are 100% the same as their superior counterparts. When created, they enter your inventory as an account bound consumable. Once consumed, it permanently unlocks that Superior Sigil or Rune in your wardrobe. From there, you can apply your unlocked sigil or rune as many times as you want, as long as the weapon or armor piece is level 80. At that point, it becomes account bound and soulbound once worn (unless it is a legendary weapon or ascended weapon or armor). You can still salvage the weapon or armor, but you’ll NEVER get the sigil or rune, just the materials.

The recipe to make Legendary Sigils and Runes are the same, you simply substitute which you want to make by adding in that specific Superior Sigil or Rune into the recipe. The recipe is a combination of a gold sink, skill point sink, Badge of honor sink, and is also time gated with using Charged Quartz Crystals.

The first step is to make the “Legendary Primer” at the Mystic forge:

Legendary Primer
————————————-
Mystic Coins x100
icy runestones x100
Globs of Ectoplasm x150
Charged Quartz Crystals x20

Then combine the final 3 ingrediants along with which ever Superior Sigil or Rune you wish to unlock:

Legendary Primer
Bloodstone shard
Gift of battle
“x” sigil / rune

A good example as to why something like this would be good. Lets say you are a thief with Quip and Incinerator. You are currently setup as a Dagger / Pistol power build. Maybe you have Superior Sigils of Force and Air in your legendary weapons. For a change of pace, you decide that you want to change to a pistol / dagger condition build. Well, changing stats on both your legendary weapons is easy enough, but Force and Air are not great for a condition build. If this thief took the time and money to make enough legendary sigils, he could change them all he wants to fit his mood.

Only consider CD if you wan’t drama/que free playstle focused on the long term health of the server AFTER season 2.

Also, +1 to op. He is being very serious in saying they don’t need more people.

Actually, CD is an awesome server to be on. Now that KoMe is gone, so is the source of the drama. And it’s not really KoMe that was the problem, but one or 2 people in the guild that was causing the drama and giving the guild a bad rep. But since it’s against the rules to “call out” individuals, the guild itself suffered.

CD is full of skilled people. just in the last few days of WvW, i’ve been in lots of groups that were outnumbered by HoD forces and we killed and pushed them back because we have better tactics. Its only when our groups run into zergs of 3v1 or more that we get stomped in. If we had the persistent numbers online that our opponents do, we’d win more matchups even when the odds are lopsided.

What to do with 4250 Blade Shards?

Please don’t delete them!

You can hold on to your extra blade shards, as the team will be adding something later which will allow you to convert the shards to something of value. Dev will be announcing more on that later. Thanks!

What about “Found Heirlooms”? Any chance more stuff will come out to spend these on like blade shards?

Most people have bought both potions for 500 Heirlooms. I’m still collecting them and probably have 200-400 in my inventory. I know you can buy alliance bags/crates, but i dont need anymore blade shards (have over 30 stacks already). I can’t remember if you can buy Tomes of Knowledge or not. but i do remember that there wasn’t a wide variety of things to use Heirlooms on.

Not getting loot from Legendary Bosses

i’ve killed at least 30 legendary knights so far.. i’ve got loot from 4 of them……. FOUR! I’ve tried it on my PVT elementalist who has tons of power for punch. i’m constantly in the thick of battle, sometimes using staff, sometimes d/d… and now i switched to my Zerker thief who’s auto attacks do 1-3k, in addition to other skills that do 3-10k. If my thief gets ahold of an Ice bow or FGS, its doing 15-30k+. I’m getting tired of wasting my time getting nothing will people are pinging everything they get. Some people have killed as many Knights as i have and always get loot. I’ve tried alone and partied up… nothing it working

WHY HASNT THIS BEEN ADDRESS??? At least Acknowledge the fact that you have screwed us and you are looking into it. you had a patch already today and didnt fix the loot bugs or the achievement bugs.

Why not 100G OR 10,000 Badges = Commander ??

in WvW

Posted by: Special K.8143

Special K.8143

So what about me?

I almost only play Wv3… maybe 20 hours a week. I know what’s going on and I saved up for my tag so that I could use it when there aren’t other COs on, or when I’m needed.

I would be pretty annoyed if it got downgraded to a PvE only tag.

I know people have problems with it, but learn who your commanders are and don’t follow the bad ones.

Who said anything about a downgrade? there would be no difference between them. My suggestion is that the 100g or the 10,000 Badges buys the same Commander Manual. There’s only 1 kind. I am NOT suggesting that there be a PvE and WvW Commander Manual. NO, just no… thats too confusing. Let people who like PvE grind out 100g to get THE manual, and let us WvW’ers grind out badges for the SAME Manual.

Why not 100G OR 10,000 Badges = Commander ??

in WvW

Posted by: Special K.8143

Special K.8143

Simply NO.

Commander tag has its uses in pve as well. Just come to Desolation to see how complex events like wurm or Tequatl are run.

How does giving people the option of paying 100g -OR- 10,000 Badges affect PvE commanders? I think you didn’t read my post carefully. I’m not saying to take away the option of spending 100g to get it. I’m saying add the option to pay 10,000 badges and zero gold.

Why not 100G OR 10,000 Badges = Commander ??

Posted by: Special K.8143

Special K.8143

2/6/2014

The recent change to the price of the Commander Manual to 100g +250 Badges of Honor is a good small step. It ensures that people spend a few hours in WvW before getting the Commander. But I don’t understand why you can’t buy a Commander Manual solely with badges?

1 badge of honor roughly equals 1 silver. So 10,000 badges = 100g. For dedicate WvW players, this could be an “High End” item to save up Badges for. Saving up 10k Badges also shows that you’ve spent your due time in WvW.

I’m not saying make this the only way to get the Commander Manual. I’m saying you you should have the option of paying 100g or 10k badges. Or just let us sell Badges to the vendor for 1 silver each.

generally people list sigils, runes, armor, trinkets, traits, etc so we can compare your style of play and traits to our style and traits. If you make alot of vids, maybe just have it all written out once and saved in a notepad (like i do) for easy copy and paste, or make a link to the build at http://en.gw2skills.net … i watch maybe a minute of the video and thought to myself, “looks like every other video out there” since i cant make any comparisons.

Or if you want to keep it a secret, just let people know that so your youtube comments and forums posts dont fill up with “build?”.

Here are some examples of specs I’ve been messing around with:
0/30/10/30/0 (Tempest Defense, Elemental Shielding, Shared Auras with Cantrips and Dagger/Dagger)
0/0/30/10/30 (Diamond Skin bunker build)
0/30/30/0/10 (Tempest Defense, Diamond Skin, Double Arcane with recharge burst spec)
20/20/0/10/20 (Dps staff build based around sustain from Burning Fire)
0/10/0/30/30 (Generic D/D Arcane build)
0/20/0/20/30 (Generic S/D Burst build)
0/30/0/20/20 (Fresh air build)
Many more..

We thank everyone for their feedback. We are keeping a VERY CLOSE eye on this thread and we will constantly be chatting internally until this release drops for potential things to change.

You gave 7 examples of what you’ve been testing, not counting the unmentioned “many more”. Only 2 builds using less than 10 or less points in Arcana, 5 of which 20 or more. While you may be picking out different traits in each of the lines than what might be considered the “norm”, when i see 20 or 30 in water and or Arcana, i bet you are picking the same traits that everyone always picks. Which means we will still need to spend 40-60 traits buying the same traits we always buy to be “viable”, just like we do now. Just found it funny is all.

I dont need to give the same critque on the purposed changes as others already have, like Treborlavok.3504 did a coupl eposts up. You’ve purposed a couple good Ele trait changes…. 90% of it is so, so bad.

Since i wwon’t critque the traits, these are the things that i think should be added into the patch….

1) Immobilize and blindness should be downgraded to “normal” conditions. With the recent change to immobilize (which stacks in time), it seems everything in WvW and PvE has got people stuck forever in a “stun lock”. Warriors are pretty much the only ones who dont seem to have a problem. Note to Devs when adding new Living story content: Adding mobs that do constant stuns, knockdowns, pulls, immobilizes, etc, isnt challenging or fun. Its super annoying and makes us want to rush through it, finish it, and never revisit it again.

2) The recharge on Ride the Lightning needs to be un-nerfed and changed back to a flat 20 seconds. The old “cantrip bunker” ele’s have been nerfed to be normal on par builds. There are no other skills in the game that i can think of that punishes the player for missing their target or for using it to gain distance and travel. If not change it back to 20 second recharge, why not change all “gap closing” skills just like R.T.L. ? Double their respective recharge times and it they hit with using them, it gets halved. If that sounds stupid, then why is RTL 40 second recharge on a miss? As an example, a warrior with Sword Leap can travel 900 every 8 seconds if he doesnt target something. Thats covers an 1800 range in 16 seconds where an un-nerfed RTL only goes 1200 (yes, the old RTL went 1500 but that was a bug and was fixed, just comparing recharge). Add in the warriors weapon switch to greatsword for another 1200 range dash that recharges in 20 seconds. Seeing as RTL is the Ele’s only gap closer, please revert it.

Idea for Legendary Armor and Weapon addition

in Suggestions

Posted by: Special K.8143

Special K.8143

Now that Legendary weapons can change stats when out of combat, I assume that when/if Legendary Armor comes out, it can do the same thing. This is only “kind of” useful.

My idea: Why not add the ability to add more than one Sigil to Legendary Weapons? When the Legendary Weapon is created, it will have a default sigil. When we go to add a new sigil to the Legendary weapon, instead of replacing the original, it just gets added to the weapon. So when you are out of combat, you can click on one drop down box and choose the stat combo you want, then click on a second drop down and pick out the sigil you want. And of course, you have to aquire the sigils first and add them to the weapon, otherwise you just have the default sigil.

If and when Legendary Armor comes out, why not do the same thing with Runes? That way, someone with a full set of Legendary Items could change a majority of their stats from, lets say a damage dealing build to a condition build. I don’t know if there will ever be Legendary Trinkets, who knows.

If we go along that path, why not put a new Re-traiting manual in the game. Lets say for XXX gems, you can buy a one time use manual that when used on a single character, that character can re-trait whenever he wants at no cost. That topic is here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/new-item-idea-Trait-Masters-Codex/

new item idea: Trait Masters Codex

in Suggestions

Posted by: Special K.8143

Special K.8143

This is a new Gem Store item. For XXX amount of gems, you get one Codex. This is a one time use item that only works for 1 character. Once you double click it and confirm that you want to use it, its gone. From that point on, that character can now reset their traits at any time while out of combat at no cost.

If that seems too powerful, maybe re-traiting while in an instance, like a dungeon or personal story episode, will be disabled. Maybe in WvW, you can only retrait while at your servers starting area for that map. Stuff like that.

This would synergize well with my idea on Legendary weapons and armor, where you can have multiple sigils and runes added to items and being able to pick which you want to use, just like you can pick the stat combo you want to use.

Fused Weapon Skins temp or permanent?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Special K.8143

Special K.8143

wow.. my thread got highjacked HARD… Thank you Curtis for answering my question.

To all others…
1) I agree the Fused skin cost should be 5 Black Lion Claim Tickets instead of 7

2) The Black Lion Ticket Scraps have a horrible drop rate. In NO WAY are they a “common drop” as the wiki states. A “common drop” to me would suggest that you have a 60-70% drop rate from the Black Lion Chests.

3) If you are opening Black Lion Chests for the sole purpose of getting scraps to get tickets, then you are doing it for the wrong reason. If the drop rate was working as intended and the scraps were in fact “common drops”, they are meant to be a consolation prize for not getting whatever special item the chest currently drops, which happens to be Zodiac Tickets. Anet means for you to slowly collect scraps to trade in over time to keep the skins somewhat rare.

I think Anet knows exactly what they are doing when it comes to the skins and scraps. They just need to fix the drop rate to actually be “common drop”.

PS: just farm Black Lion keys if you dont want to buy them with gems/gold. You can farm 3 keys every 65-70 minutes. Time = money, and if you don’t want to spend the money, you gotta spend the time…

To my question… Are the Fused Weapon Skins at the Black Lion Trakitten ermanent or temporary till the 10 day sale is over?

Seeing as you need 70 scraps to make 7 tickets to get 1 skin, and I assume you only get a chance at getting just 1 scrap out of a chest at a time. We are looking at openning hundreds of chests to try and get one of these skins.

Disabling "show all player names" not working

So, i’m doing the Scarlet Invasion events and there are a ton of people around. I want to be able to clearly see my targets through the sea of friendly names, but its hard. so i go into the options and uncheck “show all player names”. And to my amazement, nothing has changed. I still have about 50 name tags in my way of seeing what i want and forced to tab-cycle through 20 enemies in order to target what i want.

This is extremely annoying. Why have the option to disable names if it really doesnt do anything? Same thing in LA now that PvE culling is off. I don’t want to see 100’s of green tags. Lags the crap out of my machine.

i say just discontinue the free tickets. Everyone is farming the CP anyway and you already need to kill 100 mobs in each of the 6 areas there.

because i used 6 transmute crystals to get my magic find gear to get the skin i wanted on it, i hope they dont make us salavage it.

Personally, i’d like them to do what they said they are going to do when Legendary Armor comes out. In case you didn’t watch that video of the devs talking about the changes to Legendary weapons and the up coming Legendary Armor, let me give a brief description:

Legendary Items will let you change the 3 stats on them, whenever you want, when out of combat. So if you have Twilight and you normally play a tanky warrior build in WvW, you might want Twilight to have PVT stats. But then you party up for a dungeon and want to go full zerker. you can change your Twilight stats to be zerk too. Samething with Legendary Armor, change the stats from PVT to Zerk. I think the only thing you cant change are the runes and sigils.

Now, if the devs are doing this with legendaries. this is how i see the big MF change coming. After they patch and you log in and select you character, if that character has any MF gear equiped or in it’s inventory, a popup will come up and say “you are required to pick new stats for your magic find items”. Click OK, and a window like the transmutation window pops up with your first piece of gear and if that gear is equipped, it will unequip it into your inventory and unsoulbind it. Depending on the gear, depends what you can pick for new stats. For armor and weapons, you should be able to choose any stats that come from dungeons: Berserker, Carrion, Cavalier, Knight, Magi, Rabid, Rampager, Shaman, or Soldier. You can’t choose Settler, Valkyrie, or Celestial. Once you confirm thats the stats you want. It gets placed into your inventory. If that piece of armor or weapon came CoE dungeon, then it becomes account bound. If you MF item was crafted or a mob drop, it become unbounded entirely, allowing you to trade and sell it.

Basically the same thing for ascended trinkets. You pick a standard stat combo availably for that kind of trinket. But ascended items, of course, become only account bound.

In the cause of celestial trinkets, i think they will just remove MF from the stat and add a couple points into another stat. But you dont get to choose new stats for those and they stay soulbound if equip already.

MF infusions in amulets should just disappear and your laurels refunded.

Unfortunately, i think we will be biting the bullet on any Runes and Sigils in our armor and weapons.

If you have any MF items in storage, once you pull them out of storage onto a character, you have to choose new stats.

yes, i was gonna make the same post. i like it for the big crosshair also. good for following people in zergs when you find the one you want to single out and kill. When you are in a Party, you are calling a target. When solo, it should be “Target marked”.

Cap on dailies

If you are asking Anet to limit the amount of AP you can get a day from dailies, then you are farming AP for the wrong reasons, or just being a “bad sport” about it.

You say you dont have enough time to grind all 15 PvE dailies and or 4 PvP dailies. And because you don’t have the time to do it, other people should be limited in their time or amount of AP they should get from the available 15 point AP daily.

Thats like saying, I want to be the fastest Olympic 100 meter dash sprinter. But i only have 4 hours to train each day. And because i only 4 hours to train, its only fair that others have limited time too so they stay on par with me….. You’re gonna have to accept that some people who play this game, might not have to work, or goto school. They don’t have friends or a social life. They might play this game everyday for 5+ hours a day. They do all dailies, both PvE and PvP. then when they are done, they go grind slayer and weapon AP’s. Or they grind out the mini-game AP’s that are available that day. Because they want to be first on the AP leaderboard. Being first in points in a game that is playable 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, is all about how much time you have to play it. And you sir, just don’t have as much as others.

And good for them. If they want to be first and they have to time to do it, guess what, they are gonna have more AP than you. Asking Anet to put a cap on the 15 point daily AP you can get is bad form.

Fractal Weapon Tickets

ok, so i play in fractals a good amount and like everyone else, there are certain Fractal skins that i want, like the Dagger, and certain i couldn’t give a crap about, like the warhorn or any underwater skin.

So far, i’ve gotten the hammer, warhorn, rifle, harpoon, and the trident… TWICE.. 2 stupid tridents. And it only makes me madder when i see other Ele’s or Thieves who have 2 fractal dagger skins.

Suggestion: Instead of dropping a random skin when you are lucky enough to get a fractal skin, drop a Fractal ticket. Add another tab to the golem vendors in fractals that will give whatever fractal skin you want in trade for the ticket.

Also, if you want to go that extra mile: add an option to “sell” a fractal skin you have to the golem for a fractal ticket, so you can then buy the fractal skin you really want. I have 5 skins taking up bank space, because i dont, play warrior, guardian, or engi.

Finisher unlock change idea.

Special K.8143

do not approve. They only reason why is because you earn gold playing in WvW. And if you just WvW enough that you earn a “rank” for every 15-20 wvw ranks you get, then you are making enough gold that you convert gold to gems and just buy gem store finishers.

People who are dedicated PvP players have nothing to show for it when they do pop into PvE or WvW.. nothing except their rank finishers. So, when you finally get stomped in WvW by a Dragon rank banner or someone is in LA and types /rank, you know someone grinded out that pvp reward. And everyone will gather and want to see it in action, just like when you first saw people with lengendaries.

option for random finishers

Special K.8143

ok, so i know i’m not the only one who bought all 4 gem store finishers, and i like them all. I’m also PvP Wolf rank, so that means i have a choice of 8 finshers.

Neat idea: on the Finishers window at the bottom, add a check box for “Use random finisher”. Also add a check box to each unlocked finisher you have. So when the “Use random finisher” box is checked, it will look to see which finishers are selected and use one of those randomly each time you stomp in PvP or WvW.

It will be a super cool option, especially when time goes on and people have 15 different finishers. You’re about to stomp someone and you’re like “ooo i wonder which it will be this time”.

Also, if you don’t know, each character can have a different finisher selected. Let it so that the “randomizer” is also character bound. So maybe on my thief, i can select to have the giant and spectre to be random stomps and on my mesmer i can have Cow, vines, and whatever. If the option was account bound across all characters, i would never remember to change my finishers when i change toons.

Soooooooo annoying… I HATE the overflow popup window… HATE HATE HATE…

Please add a checkbox in the options for “Do not display overflow popup”… Anyone who isn’t new knows they are in an overflow the exact moment they load in because it says so on the mini-map.

Make Queen Arena tokens account bound

Posted by: Special K.8143

Special K.8143

agreed. I didn’t understand why they changed it from account to soulbound till i read how people got 1000’s of ticket through new toons. They shouldnt have changed it with the patch….

This is what should have been done in the patch…

Keep all tickets in the game as account bound, whether bought or gathered as drops. Make a separate Queen’s ticket item that is the same as the first in every way except that they are soulbound on aquire and those are the ones mailed to each toon. the ONLY downside to this is that the 2 kinds of tickets don’t stack. But since you only get 5 soulbound tickets per toon, just use those first, then the rest.

That way, people can delete and remake their toons all they want for 5 more tickets, but they will be soulbound to that new level 1 toon. And it will allow the rest of us who didn’t try and cheat the system to grind the game on our favorite toons to farm tickets and use them on which ever toon we feel might be suited to the next gauntlet challenge…..

Make it happen… in fact.. i will make a separate suggestion post for this idea and post the link here \/.. please support the idea and keep it bumped…

Idea: change Queen's ticket to account bound

in Suggestions

Posted by: Special K.8143

Special K.8143

ok, i know the situation. The Queen’s Gauntlet Entrance Tickets used to be account bound. Then, a select few abused this by deleting and remaking toons over and over again to get 5 free tickets mailed to them so that they had thousands of free tickets. Then the game was patched to make all tickets soubound.

My suggestion…. Make another patch reverting any newly obtained ticket back to account bound, whether bought from vendor or from a mob drop. Also, make a NEW “Queen’s Gauntlet Entrance Ticket” that will be soulbound on aquire and THAT’S the tickets that get mailed to everyone.

That way, people can use whatever character they like to farm tickets on that will be account bound, and people can’t abuse the “delete/remake toon for 5 free ticket” thing. I’m not a game coder, but making a new ticket probably doesn’t take too long. I don’t know if the gauntlet is just here for another week or for they whole month, but either way, everyone would like this idea.

Superior Sigil of Bursting/Malice

in Suggestions

Posted by: Special K.8143

Special K.8143

i was gonna make this same post. the only reason i can see why they did this is because maybe they won’t let you stack 2 of the same sigils the same way you can’t stack 2 sigils of Force.

But, if this wasn’t a mistake and they want 2 runes that do exactly the same thing, Anet approves of being able to add +12% Condi duration to a weapon set. In which case, why not just make it so you can stack 2 of the same sigils so one of the other sigils can be something else?

Hopefully a dev can respond to whether this was intentional to have 2 of the same kind of sigils or not, and whether the same sigils stack or not before the Living Story is gone. I personally planned on buying all the new recipes that don’t drop for me by the time the event is gone. But as long as 2 malice sigils can stack, there’s no point to buying the Bursting recipe and that will save me 3g.

Why no filter for backpieces on the TP ??

Posted by: Special K.8143

Special K.8143

Why must we search for “spineguard, brace, splice, or back” instead of just putting on a “back item” filter and see everything?

There’s an filter for Aquatic helms, and there’s only 1 sellable aquatic helm in the game.

We are 3 weeks from the One Year Anniversary and its never been added?

Please add the option, its just common sense for it to be there.

Guild Halls and Guild Only Mini Games

in Suggestions

Posted by: Special K.8143

Special K.8143

Ok, I’m sure hundreds of people have suggested Guild Halls or whatever. Yes, please give us Guild Halls. Well, maybe not “give”. Make us pay like 250 merits and 200,000 influence to get it. sounds good.

Ok, now assume we have a Guild Hall. Whats so great about having a Guild Hall in GW2 compared to GW1? I’m sure we have to spend merits/influence on filling it with all sorts of goodies, like merchants, traders, banks, etc.

Here’s the REAL suggestion on something we can buy as a guild to have access in our guild hall….

Guild-only Mini Gamems !!!

So, some of the mini games out there now are Keg Brawl, Crab Toss, and the Hunger Games type thing thats brand new. Lets say each Mini game cost 200 merits and XXX amount of influence. Once you unlocked it, you gather up some guildies, goto the guild hall, access the npc and you can all enter into your Guild’s personal game, filled with only guildmates. Now you can make guild only teams and battle each other. Unlock the “Hunger Game” and fill it with 50 Guildies to battle to the death.

The only downside is that playing in the “Guild only” version of these mini games does NOT count towards any achievements associated with the “public versions” of the same mini games. Keeps guild from unlocking achievements by rigging the game, but allows guild to have some serious fun.

This also opens up Guild vs Guild Mini games. We all want GvG pvp types of games, so why not GvG mini-games battles too? If your guild and another guild have the same mini games unlocked, you can challenge each other in that mini game. Guild vs Guild Keg Brawl… GvG crab Toss might become more like a Rugby type game.. etc etc…

I’m sure as time goes on, more and more mini games will be release. it give Guilds a “merit sink” to spend merits on.

I’m looking for the best pvp necro bunker build(s) and some super tanky WvW necro builds with very high survivability.

Please post builds and/or link to other forum post. I tried searching the necro forums for bunker, first time got posts from november and then got no results. Its weird how the “Search” on this forum is so wonky.
