Returning Player LFG

in Looking for...

Hi everyone -

I played when GW2 launched for about 6 months before moving on to other games. I’m returning to the game and looking for a group of people to enjoy it with. I’m primarily looking for a small to medium-sized PvE guild with some occasional WvW. Currently on Yak’s Bend.

Thanks!

NEW ITEMS ON TP account bound POWER TRADER

in Black Lion Trading Co

I’m hoping that this is merely an enhancement for the traders that will allow them to buy more items in bulk. If they limit number of trades or the amount traded, I think they’ll cause more problems for the people who enjoy the TP game (myself included). It would be a shame to limit yet another way people have found to make decent money.

If they do restrict something like this though, I would wager that exotic prices will go through the roof as flipping weapons / armor will become the primary source of flipping income. If that happens, it would likely also be met by a rise in the cost of crafting materials as well since fewer will be posted.

If the aim of this is to address some of the botting issues, I fear it will be too heavy-handed and push more legitimate players away. Only time will tell…

Lion’s arch by the big leaping lion fountain (you know the one near the asura gates)

Exactly.

The medium armor slippers looked the same as the duelist set…

Same thing happened for me – entering Rumble through the labyrinth NPC counted for me, where entering it from the NPC in Shaemoor did not.

On an overflow at the moment, and the same thing is happening.

Clocktower Bugged?

I think I can safely say that I detest this kitten puzzle with intense passion..

After 4 dozen attempts, I couldn’t even get past the part where the parts fall out the wall.. Being a Norn toon, I REPEATEDLY kept hitting geometry that wasn’t there, or sliding off blocks that were there (and I had landed on, but the game thought to pitch me off).

On more than one occasion, the camera became completely dissjointed from my character (no longer behind my toon) causing me to fail heavily yet again.

I’ve lucky I still have a working PC, because I was literally “Why!!”, and “WTF!” and “NO!!”, every single attempt…

This is (for me) an exercise in pure refined frustration..

You could always make a new human char just for this jumping puzzle, since the achievement is account based anyways. Just make sure you select the same armour class profession so you get the right piece when you complete it.

Unless that exotic is soul bound….then don’t do it.

It is soul bound.

This was a seriously great jumping puzzle. Thanks for the challenge, ANet!

"Halloween events completed" Achievement?

I imagine this will have something to the events that occur in the middle of LA during the 4 chapters of the holiday. I think it’s pretty likely that the progress bar for the current event in LA will continue to show progress over the next day or two and culminate in some sort of event on the day before the 2nd chapter begins.

Crafting for Profit

The primary difference here is that the crafting professions lack unique or difficult recipes. I suppose some would argue that the boxes and trays fill that gap, but I disagree. There are not enough items in the game that are “required” that are only made via crafting (i.e. the enchanting rods made by blacksmiths in WoW).

There should be recipes that are unique and difficult to obtain, and these should be added regularly, IMO.

I suspect that the prices of those items will rise once the TP gets a preview feature. Until then, how are people supposed to know what does and does not have a great skin?

Guide to Making money at the Trading Post through active trading

Some good advice. I would add to have a good amount of patience if you’re going to attempt to play the market. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard of someone dumping their stock of an item at a lower price (and at a loss) simply because someone posted at a lower price. Often times, the a particular market will rebound and your items will sell.

You would be insane to craft anything at the moment

I make money from crafting nearly every day. Sure, I’d like to see some additional features added to crafting, but when it comes to making money, especially at Lv400, there are opportunities out there.

Loot drops nerfed further in Cursed Shore?

Drop rates for me have remained virtually the same. Haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary.

Thief stolen ability from warrior "Whirling Axe"

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Sprinks.2437

Sprinks.2437

The ability you’re describing is one of the more rare steals in my experience. I think it’s intended to be a nice DPS boost, but I doubt it does as much as a the native warrior ability (although I can’t confirm that for sure).

As for the built-in evasion… I’m fairly sure that’s intended. Out of 100 steals, I maybe get this ability 1-5 times, if that. It’s pretty rare (especially in PvE). It seems a bit more common in WvW.

Signet of Shadows or Assassin's Signet?

Posted by: Sprinks.2437

Depends on what you’re doing, in my opinion. I refuse to explore / solo without Signet of Shadows and Shadow Refuge. They’re too handy. However, in group situations / pvp / etc, other abilities are much more useful.

Dynamic Events in 30+ zones.

Sprinks.2437

I agree. I’ve encountered several dynamic events across zones that are 50+ where the events are bugged and blocking progress. This seemed to be mitigated by having the servers restarted once a day, but I’m not sure that’s happening at the moment. It’s pretty disappointing. ;_;

Edit: To be more specific, the zones I’ve noticed this in are the Iron Marches, Fireheart Rise and Timberline Falls.
