Guild Wars 2

Oh dear, they better fix it asap, it might change a lot of wvw fights :S

Minimum wage is 8 dollars here in the states (varies state to state). Were is the minimum wage that low lol?

In Poland… But its not about that, the thing is that gem price is equal for every country. So either you work in Norway and can get like 85g/h or you work in Poland and can get 8,5g per hour.

To the topic – Im pretty sure, ranger can handle aoe tagging, I got a quite good aoe build for events farming ;-) Might share after the patch (maybe we’ll change something, who knows what patch’s gonna bring )

I’d also be glad of adding ascended essence of luck to the crafting station. Would save up loads of space in my bank as I got a lot of exotic stacks.

Also we do not know what plans do ANet have that involves Essences of Luck in any way. Once you reach max MF, you can still use luck and it will get added to your progress bar – why? Is that a bug or maybe for reason? For what reason if so?

Essence of luck is also a crafting material. There is no cooking and jewelery till 500 yet – will we see its use in those 2 proffesions? A lot of questions is not answered and most likely we’ll not get the answers just yet. Or maybe never…

I’ve got a better guide lol

1.) Apply for minimum wage job
2.) Work until you get a pay check (2 weeks / 80 hours)
3.) Collect your ~650 dollars and quit
4.) Buy 650 dollars worth of gems (80,000)
5.) Exchange 80,000 gems for 5200 gold
6.) Buy a legendary or two after two weeks of farming

EZ ~50 gold per hour, much higher than this guide!

See it doesn’t apply everywhere. With my job (that actually doubles minimum wage where I live) calculations would be as follow:

1.) Doubled minimum wage job
2.) Work until you get a pay check (4 weeks / 220 hours) (I get payed once a month, 10h a day + kitten saturdays)
3.) Collect your ~730 dollars (that is what I get if I exchange the currency)
4.) Buy 730 dollars worth of gems (7*8000= 56000 – not sure where did u get 80k from)
5.) Exchange 56,000 gems for 3640 gold
6.) Buy a legendary or two after one month of farming

~16.5g per h. Oh well… Maybe Ill just spend it on something else.

So yea, about 8g per hour with a minimum wage job as you suggested, does not look appealing to me and also… Its not how we’re suppose to play the game.

I just found this topic yesterday, great job Vol, so bad it will not work after the patch anymore. I feel like every little way of gold farming that we find out is being hit in the face by ANet, sometimes directly, sometimes by changing something else. Not sure WHY do they not want us to farm gold in the game but either play TP or exchange top up to get some gold (well I know they get money out of buying gems but the game is not about that is it?)

Hey, I just occured a problem with loging in. I am logged in on the guild wars 2 website (somehow) but I cant acces My Account as I need to log in 2nd time. Same problem is when I try to log in the launcher. I got mobile authentication and email one. I put the password, website asks me for the code from the mobile APP, I put the code and just after I submit I get info that my acc name or password are incorrect.

As mentioned – cant log in on both website and to the game. If I try to recover the account, I put the email, cd-key (I got boxed version) and character name. Once I do that I get info “Error, Please Contact Support”.

Is it just some kind of a bug or should I really send a ticket about this?

EDIT: I just checked on the laptop that I was using for GW this afternoon – the same problem.

I just dont get one thing… Why Dungeon Tracks have a PvP prefix in the name? I think I missed sth…

As in title. I mean the boxes that show up above your minimap. Do they stack up? Till what point? Id like to not open them for like 2 weeks (or more) and then open them all at once (just for some research).

Would be nice to see some confirmed info.

Mega Messiah.1734:

Send me your gold and start over from scratch.

Nothing like fresh beginnings.

I took a break once for like 3 months after release of Dragon Bash (I got sick of all that quaggan hype and then they released “Smash the dragon” thing, I was just like… omg, that’s it, it gets too childish now… Just before a break I’ve thrown all gold I had in rares to the mystic forge, got nothing back – I have a spreadsheet for MF, I know the amount of rares was not enough to even get close of a chance getting a precursor (I dont rely on luck, only on math and statistics), but heck that was the only time I’ve done something just to see will I get lucky and ended up wasting all my money and taking a break – Id stay and finish the legendary if get a precursor for sure.

Now I regret I took a break because I’ve missed some items that will never get again and would love to get. I’ve missed some Living Stories that after watching few videos I can say were fun to do. And for the most of all I’ve missed achievements and that will just stay in my head for ever.

phys.7689:

[i]…Big post post that is correct in every word almost…[i]

His situation is closer to being being in the corporate sector making money, and being disatisfied because its no fun, and he is barely playing the game called life. But every time he tries to do some other job, he is reminded how much more money he makes working in the dull corporate world.

After reading all the feedback I am wondering is word addict not too strong in that case. Anyway… I got life. I have a full time job which takes pretty much about 200-250h a month of my time, I sleep normally (times when I was addicted to L2 and played almost 130h a week are over), as I said “I have spent like 80% of last year sitting in Rata Sum and the airship [b]of my ingame time.[b]”

Its not that GW takes too much time out of my life, its TP takes too much time of my gw playtime. Its bad to hear all those sarcasm comments about going to a psychiatrist or so but oh well… I do Living Stories, I like them, I love new achievements, hate missing out on them, I like gettin new skins (even tho Im not rly using most of them). The main thing would be to find something that will (as said) make me feel rewarded for the time I’ve spent.

Anyway thanks all for the feedback, some of it gave me a lot of imput about why do I actually feel like playing TP all the time instead of the game, maybe realising that will help a bit

I dont like dungeons farming, I think it would be just the same as TP farming after a while, I’d hate it so much and would be doing it only for profit.

Thanks for any advices.

Define “dungeon farming.” I define it as repeatedly running the same short dungeon paths at high speed for max profits. That gets boring.

That is what I mean. I know a lot of ppl do like 10 different dungeon paths, every single day, with a good group and speed running them, its something I dont want to do, fun out of it is pretty much the same as from TP farming…

In case of World Bosses I have a tool for that, its pretty efficient but after like 2h I’ll run out of events to do and If Im not wrong, guesting is not working on it to do another circle?

Hey everyone. As many of us Im addicted to trading post. I have spent like 80% of last year sitting in Rata Sum and the airship of my ingame time. I just cant help it, I hoard items, a lot of items and then Im not using them at all. I got no legendary and I dont even have tousands of gold. All gold I earn I turn into materials and I just… Cant stop doing it. I see a lot of people saying about amazing 10g per hour from doing something else. I’ve never reached that point when trying so I am asking for help now.

I got myself maxed Magic Find (like it wasn’t enough I farmed over 1,5kk of luck above that just in case they increase it anytime or let us use it for something else – screeny) but it doesn’t help playing trading post. Question is – is there any way I can use that to get that 8-10g per hour simply playing the game instead of trading post?

There is less and less mobs droping loot from the events, even in fractals I think I got like 2 greens last night over the entire run from mobs, all other was from chests. I’d love the fact of farming mobs for materials but that is not efficient – DR hitting after like 25 minutes of doing same circle and even with maxed mf you dont get that many materials.

I just… Im just looking for something in guild wars that will let me feel like Im being rewarded. I really REALLY need to stop wasting my time sitting on the front of the NPC, with loads of spreadsheets on the other screen to fill >.<

I dont like dungeons farming, I think it would be just the same as TP farming after a while, I’d hate it so much and would be doing it only for profit.

Thanks for any advices.

This is worrisome… I might not get the achievement just because I was not lucky to fight a bugged knights… 5d left and it is not looking good at all :/

Ill try guestolation I think, here I come!

And sadly sometimes I feel like people from ANet that read our feedback are not the ones that are making the game itself… Like we say over and over and over the same things, and yet… there are the same problems hapenning. Like… I can see no logic in all of this, Im lost.

Just tried, got a clean run on my ranger, got autoattack off, was fighting all the time using longbow, was focused on the buffs tab so Im sure I got no debuff for attacking without the attunement. Either way… No achievement in the end.

Can any dev tell us what are we suppose to do for this achievement?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand then it it will put on cooldown the current skill the pet interrupted Im pretty sure there is a catch in this, cant be that beautiful xD

So bad other players can not see it :/

Is having 300% Magic Find base not enough of a reward for you?

Not rly since I can not prove in any way to people who do not believe me that I actually got it done.

You do realise nobody else cares that you have 300%, right? Showing off in games is … a bit pathetic.

If so then lets just remove all the titles for the game. I cant see them anyway and people dont care what is written under my name…

And seriously now. GW2 is all about showing off things that other people do not have, that is why there are legendaries in the game, that is why there are unique skins in the game, that is why there are titles below your head and that is why you try to make your character look awesome. If you remove all that from GW2 – there is nothing to play for since we got no vertical progression. Its all about – “Hey, I’ve spent ton of time to get those 5 legendaries and as a gamer Im proud of it” – why not add a title as a reward so everyone can see it?

Lil Puppy.5216:

Aside from a title for utilizing your ‘entropy’ achievement and maxing out your ‘luck’ if you salvage more greens do you still get those luck things? Because that would be annoying.

Yeah, I’ve always wanted to know this. I’m nowhere near close to max (116% lol).

The bar turns green, you still get essenses of luck, surprisely – you can still consume it (!) and it will add luck to your MF progress bar. Its just gonna extend max luck on the progress bar. Im actually going to check will it go higher than 30k (from 225 or something like that each point cost = 30k luck).

Flissy.4093:

In any other cases – Im just wondering, what do you guys think, why ANet is not giving us so many titles? It doesnt seem as a hard thing to do just add a simple title. Why are they not doing it?

So… I just got myself maxxed magic find – it was my goal and I’ve finally made it My main issue tho is… Why is there no title for making it? It is not something that every second person got so it would be nice to have one. I just can’t understand why would you not add a title to a thing like that.

Ofc its not only that – there is loads of other challanges in game that got no title: Legendary collector, Getting all jumping puzzles done, there is no title for getting all weapon master achievements. There is just A LOT of places where the title would be nice to get as a reward of getting something done so you can “show off” yourself ;-)

What do you guys think about it?

Im selling tab shows up No results while there should be items worth about 50g… Sad panda is sad

ANet will not add mounts because ppl will be just simply running from one point to the other without exploring the maps properly.

…oh wait, they added waypoints.

PLEASE! ANet… Im begging you! Can we get an official response about that? If that was intended then Im going to buy this item straight away… But the sale is this weekend and I need to know! Thank you!

I’ve done entire Haloween Hunting Achievement by opening the doors. Im sure I had already like 10 events out there already. Didn’t get any to the counter so thought maybe its gonna be later. Now I see people on reddit that they got it done by doing labyrinth and events there. I did few and didn’t get any to the counter again. Tried pumpkins – nothing. Finished the clock tower. Nothing. So what Am I doing wrong?

FInally went over the bug. Couldn’t log in on forum at all because of blabla token thingy. Anyway Im really dissapointed. Mainly because of one thing:
Arena Net:
-If you’re going to nerf short bow then i patch notes just call it shortbow nerf.
-If you’re going to make dmg less than normal then call it like that.
-If you’re going to decrease attack speed by X% then say so.

I seriously can’t see reason why did u hide shortbow nerf over “fixing animation bug”. If you would nerf shortbow and call it like that it wouldn’t annoy me that much as it annoys me now when all what I’ve seen is “we fixed animation bug”.

I talked with my friend (not ranger – a thief) and he explained me that u did it right coz shortbow had fast fire rate because of animation bug. So u fixed the animation bug and now shortbows fire rate as planned from the begining. Well… He is right in a part. But it doesn’t change the fact that Shortbow was not overpowered at all. And didn’t need a nerf…

I still have hope in you arena net. Heard too many good words about your company to leave it like that.

Gladly till u make my/our class playable again I have an alt with totally different playstyle.
