Guild Wars 2

same here, guild chat works randomly.

1. new skills/traits
2. open world bosses/events (and why no one does balth)
3. armors (town cloth, locker, pet slot)

it will be interesting to see how the community will evolve. I stopped playing the game because I was burnt out, and the game was laggy/buggy (karka event). I came back during the Zephyr Sanctum and it was really amazing. The Queen’s Jubilee aswell.

Now I see they’re releasing more and more difficult content (SAB, Tequatl, TA), are people really asking for this? I’m thinking maybe the game isn’t for me anymore and I should take a break again and come back later to see how things evolved.

I wouldn’t mind hard content if it wasn’t stupid hard, like Tequatl, we need 80+ organized people, overflow will easily screw you. I did it, it’s easy if you find the right group, it’s impossible if you just try to do it with random people.

It feels the same with TA, and with some stupid mechanism like the escort mission.

You can still buy weapons and armors on TP, and it’s cheaper now that everyone level up their professions to craft ascended weapons.
I leveled my last character to 80, with 2 crafting professions up to 400, but I didn’t craft my stuff, I bought it on the TP.
People who say it is mandatory to learn crafting, to progress in the game, just like whining.

Sprockets are pretty cheap right now, you should buy them from the TP if you don’t have enough.

well… I completed the achievement, woot!

I didn’t win the event, we didn’t even spawn Scarlet (got 4 chests at the end), I guess you just need to be there at the end.

I’m not exactly sure which map I need to complete (I think it’s Maelstrom) since I’m on a failed event streak since a few days.
There’s only 4 days left, I don’t think ANet will fix this sadly…

I also did this experiment by following the zerg who tried to complete the event and we still failed (on Harathi Hinterlands).

I still have one map to complete to have the achievement, I don’t remember which one, and it’s impossible based on my previous attempt. Why would I spend 45min trying to win the event if, in the end, it fails and I get less loot than the other people?…

since the Chaos update, my mailbox shows 1/10 emails, while before I was at 6/10.

To complete “Hint Completion”, you need to see hints, specifically the one “your mailbox is full”.

There are a few way to fix this, maybe remove the hint from the achievement, or fix the 1/10 in the mailbox.

Since this morning, we have some massive lags/disconnects on Augury Rock [FR].

I noticed this, this morning, during a Gauntlet fight. But this evening, it also happened in Orr. The game lag for 5-10s (nothing moves) and the it resumes. But it happened twice to be kicked with an error message. Other people in the group were kicked aswell.

Timeframe this evening was between 18:30 and 19:15.

you can buy them from the guild vendor, but it’s kinda expensive (5g for rare, 5g + 5 commendations for exo)

it’s even worse for underwater mouth breather…

This is what happens when concessions are made in an attempt to appease the “MOAR LOOT!” crowd. I’ve asked it before, and I’ll ask it again. Are these really the kinds of people you want to build your game – and by extension, your community – around?

well, at least it’s lively now. I guess they’re still trying to find the right formula between farm and how to populate area. Right now, it’s buses everywhere ^^;

what kind of solution would you provide to attract players in empty areas?

As for the Ember quest, it’s definitely an overlook and will certainly be fixed.

Those items could become available in the achievement panel with unlocked weapon skins, because those items are mostly bound to achievements (balloon = 30/30 hot balloons achievement, torch = 4/4 torch runs), it doesn’t even take more data in the database.

I couldn’t even beat the sniper (yet) and I just stopped trying because it was annoying to have to walk up there after I’m dead ^^;

But I’m not complaning, I’m glad they made something challenging. Some people needed it and ANet did it. For others who can’t do it, they can still zerg below for easy loot.

I like the footprints. I know how much it costs to create a legendary so, I know that player invested a lot of time in the game. I don’t have one myself.

But some legendaries are just unimpressive, like, can’t even notice he has one. It’s a vanity item, people should notice them.

As for other people criticizing legendary owner, it sounds they’re just jealous to me. It still requires some dedication. You have to play the game for quite some time to afford the obsidian shard with karma, and you need 100% world completion, which can be a pain with WvW (I’m at this point and I don’t want to switch world).

Legendary weapons should feel legendary. Some of them are, like the greatsword, but there need to be more legendaries. I checked the legendaries for my necro, and they’re all kinda bad. I wanted a staff, but Bifrost is a joke, and other weapons aren’t impressive (except maybe the incenerator for the footprint, but that’s pretty light…)

Most of them don’t really feel legendary and in the end, it doesn’t seem they’re worth the trouble.

I wonder if it won’t make rich people even richer…

400 to 500 may require some expensive materials, since ANet said it will be worthwhile to sell stuff on the AH at 500.

But right now, I wonder if crafting is really worth it, except for leveling your character. I finished leveling up my warrior from 65 to 78 with weaponsmith and armorsmith, then I checked the AH because it was “cheaper” (gw2spidy) to buy from it instead of crafting my gear. But I didn’t buy crafted gear, I bought named armor and weapons, they were cheaper and came with runes and sigils.

The only thing I didn’t buy are trinkets, because I may end up using laurel amulette and rings from fractals at some point, I just bought some cheap greens.

It’s the same as the Rare Veggie Pizza (cond damage, +40% cond duration), except the buff lasts one hour. But the pizza costs 8s on the AH, while the Sautee costs 64s (certainly due to the price of the Kale Leaf).

The Kale Leaf seems pretty rare, and 30 of them in this recipe is just pointless.

I wonder what they will introduce to make it worthwhile. A lot of recipes are completely useless, even level 400 recipes (Bowl of Garlic Kale Sautee, Fancy Truffle Burger aka The Turd).

I also would like to see some fish, and it would also fit pretty well with the daily achievement Aquatic Slayer.

I guess they will make them last longer, provide more bonuses aswell as +exp%…

30 Kale Leaves and 20 Head of Garlic to create this…
yeah… I was a bit surprised to see I needed that much.
I could only gather 7 Kale Leaves north Ebonhawke so, it’s pretty rare.
Is it planned to balance some recipes?
Do you check gw2spidy to see how those foods are balanced compared to others? (Rare Veggie Pizza in this case)
This one is kinda useless compared to the pizza.

What I liked in Gw1 was sometimes you would explore the world to capture a skill from a champion.

There’s no incentive to revisit previous area in Gw2, except maybe for dailies and gathering. I noticed a nice recipe which required Kale Leaf, to make a Bowl of Garlic Kale Sautee. I went to Ebonhawke, gathered 7 leaves, then went to a cooking station to discover I need 30 of them :-/
So yeah, here goes my motivation to do that again, better farm Orr to get some truffle like everyone else.

And yeah, the fact the world feels empty because sometimes you don’t know if there’s someone else in the area, you can’t really complete those “group event” by yourself. After asking in /map if someone wants to help but no one replies, you just leave.

Or maybe a downgrade recipe.

I was also thinking about adding a karma bonus to some maps everyday/week so people would travel to those maps.

yeah, better advertise it on the forum with a screenshot then

is it possible to upgrade from large scale with the mystic forge?
