Guild Wars 2

To do my bit to prevent others from having this happen to them, I have added a note the the risen hyleks wiki page about it not working in the forge.

Still out the gold, and not pleased there is nothing in game to prevent this sort of issue.

I have no problem with them restricting certain mini, my problem is there is nothing telling me which cannot be forged.

This, 1000+!

Imagine my surprise when I tried using minis from Orrian boxes in the MF just to find out I can’t. And I spent over a million karma on that. So you can’t use account bound exotic minis in the MF but you can use other account bound exotic stuff.

This needs to be sorted out. Stuff that can’t be used in the MF needs to be clearly labeled.

Not really the same issue. The Mini Risen Priest of Balthazar are clearly documented on the wiki.

Now see, that is more like it. Unfortunately this note is not present on the risen hylek

Windwalker.2047:

The same reason you cant toilet exotic runes and sigils-everyone would do it to get divinities/bloodlust/etc expensive ones.

I have no problem with them restricting certain mini, my problem is there is nothing telling me which cannot be forged.

The wiki clearly states that 4 minis of the same rarity can be forged for a mini of the same rarity or chance at one tier higher. What am I missing?

So I decided to gamble a bit on the toilet. Prices were low on an exotic mini, and I figured had a good change of getting a higher priced exotic mini back. 23g to buy the minis to flush. (A lot of gold to me)

Anyway I run up to the toilet with my minis and guess what? Toilet won’t take them.

Whhhhhhhyyyyyyyyy?

Looked at the item in game and at the wiki, nothing to indicate these minis are flushable.

Now of course I’m having trouble reselling these to get my gold back.

This thing broke costume brawl.

Man trebs while spawn camping is just a whole nother level of sad.

In fairness, we’ve done this to DH and others. Usually fairweathers do it.

Yak’s? Noooooooooooooooo
Yes fair weathers will vanish

Ferg, does this mean you are big bro now?

WvW is what you do at level 80

I have both, but my mes is my commander.

chemiclord.3978:

It seems to me like GW1 veterans don’t see any of the stuff in GW1 as “grind”, even though it was.

I guess “grind” really means, “repetitive actions I don’t like for a goal I don’t desire”, rather than just “repetitive actions for a goal.”

I think in GW they just did a better job of offering fun options for play that weren’t a grind.

Nova Stiker.8396:

Another Pointless GW1 vs. GW2

Do not mention Guild Wars 1 grind and justify it.
Ever.

You know that is so funny, cause the grind you posted only existed as a carryover into GW2. It served no other purpose and was only released in prep for GW2.

It shows we should have seen the GW2 grind a mile away, it started before the game was even out.

+1 so long as both the name and the tag can be changed.

Lions come from Elona, a land featured in GW1 Nightfall. We do not yet have access to this land in GW2.

Huh?

We love ET, we aren’t picking on them at all. But you might notice that since we are a t6 server we need to totally crush everyone to avoid losing rating points.

hyjaxxx.1584:

One thing I’m seeing from sorrows furnace is what happened when we faced bp and ar….we were on a high from winning for weeks then got our teeth kicked in a couple weeks and all of our fair weather players bailed.

I just hope they can pull it together because I really enjoy this matchup.

The the battle rage!
Jaxx

^^this. And actually if DH keeps this pace you’ll be in T5 next week. Good job.

SF have no queue in eb on reset? Are we on vacation?

There is a better system to use and it is very simple.

For every match…
Win the match, move up
Lose the match, move down
Middle stays in current tier

Using this very simple system, servers would quickly be matched with similar servers, but without having to fight the exact same servers for weeks on end.

Wishing our neighbors in t5 a great match this week. See you soon.

So SF… How’s that coming along? From your friends in Ehmry Bay.

Not so good as a matter of fact. . May be awhile before we meet after all.

Haha, horribly.

It would appear that t6 is where we (SF) belong, at least for now.

While I’m sure that no one would dispute our level of skill (as evidenced by our dominance when we are all online), we simply do not have the needed coverage throughout the week.

I have to assume that coverage will become even more of an issue as we climb in tier. (Otherwise I see no reason why DH is here instead of higher up the ladder, since I’ve never before seen coverage like theirs.)

Perhaps it is good that we halt our upward climb at this tier until such time as our coverage is not so much of a problem.

In all seriousness, I like Ioj and DH. This tier is so much more fun than I’ve had in WvW in quite awhile.

KinkyGiraffe.4123:

If you guys didnt notice last week

Sorrows Furnace = 1 204.430
Isle of Janthir = 1 202.412
^^^^^^^
Look at the difference of our rating points after last week, if DH the kittens didnt attack us so hard the night before reset, our strong push would have kept us blue for another week, youd have to be dreaming if you think we’re not going to focus SF more than DH, we’ll be blue next week and theres nothing you, or that KING guild can do about it <3

Does Ioj think DH is their friend now or something? Lets say you succeed in helping DH get ahead of us, what’s your end game? They will turn on you so fast your head will spin.

Tukmolytes.3467:

Why would we attack DH when we are busy reclaiming our side from SF? Just asking.

Because its better that way, obviously

I really like the shield. (I can’t use a shield but it looks awesome)

LowfatEnvelope.5934:

Until it’s fixed you can guest to a server where it’s not broken, but ya it’s annoying.

Great… Now which server is it not broken so I can do this?

Wishing our neighbors in t5 a great match this week. See you soon.

EB blue is totally painted blue. Excellent job SF!

Reset… The Furnace is lit.

And will run out of gas on Monday. LOL

Don’t be so sure about that this week

This^

Reset… The Furnace is lit.

Not sure why we’d be recruiting… Our server is good the way it is.

hyjaxxx.1584:

you guys Have So many people its insane!

Haha, lots of peeps MIA this week. You ain’t seen nothing yet.

DH is giving us a taste of our own medicine. Everywhere we go, there you are. Impressive.

Also forgot to mention, people in T6 have been very polite and welcoming thus far.. Nice change after T7

Of course nerf now, just hit 80 on my mes

DisplayName.7802:

It is PvE night at SF every saturday =(
Most of the guilds are doing guildmissions today or cleaning up temples at orr.

I’m wvw almost every sat night, almost always queue for eb. Telling you, this is weird. Pve night or no, we don’t have our usual numbers in wvw tonight

Why does SF have no queue tonight? Where is everyone? We are ::gasp:: actually not doing so hot atm.

Spooky Mulder.1524:

NSP, how dare you take our beloved SM! Get out!

Ah, that’s better

NSP, how dare you take our beloved SM! Get out!

Congrats ET!

:)

Can anyone post a score update for us poor souls at work?

Again, smack talk aside… I’m impressed with both NSP and HoD. Let’s stop the trolling people. All of t7 is giving this their all, and I for one am really enjoying it.

Zietlogik.6208:

One of the most epic defends I have ever participated in, we (SF) held Stonemist right to the last strand of time we could against you guys (HoD) lord down, area was 1/2 taken, but we managed to pull it back!

Truley crazy battle friends!

Then they took it right after that

THE Dentist.5960:

Having a blast, but quick question: does SF have any small man groups, lol. You guys have a ton more people than I thought and it doesn’t seem like you can even go to a camp without at least a 15 man zerg. (yes i do consider that a small zerg) I can also say I was a little disappointed in our own population for reset. Hour or 2 after reset seemed like we all just went AWOL. None the less, great fighting so far SF. I am very impressed with your numbers and I do agree this is showing the huge flaw in ANet’s scoring system. Hope you guys are enjoying it as much as I am!

I normally run off and cap things in small groups, but trying that against you guys last night got me stomped real fast

All I have to say is “ouch”. I was used to steamrolling in t8. Actually have to try in t7. I’m still learning, tonight was hard

1: Do you feel that you can trust every word the developers say?

No, nor do I feel that a lot of “trust” is required. Anet is not my wife, they are a company. The only trust I need to have with them is that they deliver me a product worth the $60 I paid for it. I feel they have done so, and much, much more. Is the game perfect? No. Is it worth $60? Oh god yes.

2: Or do you approach their announcements as I do with quite a bit of caution and skepticism these days?

I approach everything with caution. I believe something when I see it, not when someone talks about it. But the talk does let me know issues that are on the radar, which gives me hope that they will be resolved some time in the future.

I’d also like to add that I’m a veteran of many MMOs, and I think some people who make comments of this game being release half-baked either have very little MMO experience or have selective memory. GW2 is looking good in my eyes, and I’m confident that it will be improved and dialed in as time goes on.

Love the gameplay on pen/shelter, the battle felt epic. Yes, the rewards should be fixed so champs drop better loot or more loot.

It’s actually not hard at all… Just finished mine. Just WvW on the map you need stuff on. The Zerg will eventually get you everywhere you need to go.

Which makes it a great time to go the other way, and convert gems to gold.

Wouldn’t it be more effective to simply stop rewarding crafting with xp? Right now, many people craft for the xp alone, flooding the tp with crafted items.

If crafting no longer gave xp….
-non-crafter’s mats end up on tp, driving down mat prices.
-non-crafters buy gear since they don’t craft it, driving up crafted gear prices.

Maybe I’m missing something but this seems like an easy fix.
