To be fair, some of them (The Hunter being a good example, since there’s another 100+ gold worth of mats on top of what I mentioned in a previous post for the first stage alone) ARE “broken” cost-wise. I agree there’s no real point in this argument though.
Honestly, having done the first collections for a couple of them, some were actually kind of fun. The actual crafting requirements kind of put a damper on it though, which is a shame. The Chosen’s nice and all, but I would’ve liked to continue with Quip’s silliness.
30 Deldrimor Steel: 268 buy now/258 order/151 and 30 days crafting + 30 Spiritwood: 291 buy now/246 order/235 and 30 days crafting…And then there’s the other mats, trophies for tier 2…Definitely not worth crafting from scratch.
https://www.gw2bltc.com/en/item/29181-Zap Just saw this link while checking if Reddit had anything interesting on the subject. I assume there are pages for the other precursors, which should tell you how much they are on the TP and how much they cost to make.
Edit: Having looked at a couple, they mostly seem accurate…Although The Hunter is horribly wrong.
Ayrilana isn’t saying it IS 1k gold, they’re saying it USED TO be 1k gold. Basically saying that when old legendaries were new and shiny, they were crazy expensive too. Not that they’re cheap now, just not as expensive as the new ones.
It looks like you could save a fair bit by just ordering the cheapest orbs/doubloons and dust off the trading post. Using gold doubloons puts the price at a little over 2 gold a piece, assuming you haven’t got any of the materials lying around.
To save a bit more, you could buy crystals and upgrade them to orbs with a jeweller.
From what I can tell, they’re mostly cheaper to buy than build. The main one that comes to mind as potentially better to build from scratch would be The Chosen, since it’s 500 gold to buy on the TP and fits in the “off-hand only” level of crafting.
I think I read that it’s around a 300 gold difference, but I don’t think the number took into account the tier 2 collection, so it’s probably a lot smaller than that.
Yeah Kamara that’s fine and right. But they have and do make outfits and new armor all the time. It wouldn’t be impossible for them to make some of the more popular items. Or heck some of the more elite armors from FoW.
I really did expect them to make FoW armor for the HoM’s that would have been nicer than what is in the HoM skin wise.
I’m kind of glad they didn’t, since I’m not really a fan of any obsidian except maybe warrior and I like the general look of light/heavy heritage gear, but I can see why that would have made a great prestige item. Maybe at one of the higher, itemless tiers?
Also, with people having mentioned intimidating charr with charr hide armour, at least you’ve got the skull on the medium Krytan armour? At least, I think that’s a charr skull. Not really the same as wearing an entire flayed charr, but it’s something at least.
I don’t think anyone here thinks it’d be that easy, to be honest. It doesn’t change the fact that these are skins some people would like to see updated for GW2 though.
I’d love to see some of the old assassin armours come back. Even something as simple as Shing Jea…although Kurzick (normal or elite) and/or Vabbian would be nice too.
…Also, not really an armour skin, but the dapper tuxedo clearly needs to show up in GW2.
Some guildies and I gave this fractal a shot earlier today and we ran into an odd issue with the boss. Being eaten by it seemed to drop people’s Agony Resistance to 0, which obviously led to a quick death for the person in question. This doesn’t seem like it’s meant to be a thing…is it?
You don’t have to drink all of them during Wintersday. It’s a collection achievement, not a festival one. And who knows, maybe as more people come on and decide the achievement’s hopeless/they’d rather make money, or after the festival’s done and people can’t start the collection anymore until next year, the booze will be a bit more affordable.
It’s a collection achievement, not a festival one. You don’t necessarily need to get all the alcohol before the end of the event. Keep in mind that prices on the TP might go down over time too. On one hand, more people coming on throughout the event means more people going for the collection…and maybe more looking at the collection, deciding they can’t do it/it’s not worth it and selling their booze. And maybe when the collection can’t be started anymore after the event, people won’t be as keen to buy it and prices will drop?
But yeah, on topic, not really a fan of platforms breaking after a second or two and taking a bit to respawn in a situation involving other characters…especially when platforms breaking a bit further ahead results in me falling to my death.
I wouldn’t mind the JP requirement…if they’d take out 1 element of it. I don’t mind which, but the instance with a bunch of other people, the platforms collapsing and the timer just combine to make this really not that fun to me.
…Also, please don’t pull random numbers out of nowhere and present them as factual statistics to make other people’s arguments seem unreasonable, it’s kinda dumb.
Just to make this slightly more (or less, I dunno) confusing, I was doing Black Citadel map completion with my human revenant recently and went to get the PoIs in the charr home instance and the chest was in there for me. I haven’t actually got it unlocked on my account though, so I couldn’t open it.
Maybe there’s a check about having it unlocked on your account that’s backwards for that instance? As in…instead of showing if it’s unlocked and not showing if it isn’t, it’s showing if it’s not unlocked and not showing if it isn’t?
in the first 2 hours the chat works as intended,
then the game crashed and after reconnecting my chattabs were messed up and I can’t read the guild chat
that’s still the actual state … I can write in the guild chat and all other members can read it, but I can’t read my own postings and I can’t read the postings of other members
For some reason, HoT turned off guild chat for some people in one of the early patches. Have you checked if it’s enabled in the chat panel?
Sorry for the shoddy blanking in the chat, kinda swore a little because it’s late and I was a bit irked at it not working after how many times I’d failed the jump due to lag.
As far as the client freezing at the end of the prologue goes…I kind of had the same thing. The client stopped responding for a while, but after a few minutes it resumed and everything was fine. It might just be a matter of being patient with it? Unless it crashed completely instead of just going to (not responding), in which case…I dunno.
Saying that as a temporary way to progress until it get patched, by the way. It still needs to be patched though.
I was helping clear out an event in Verdant Brink and a Mordrem Troll used its insect swarm. For some reason, it showed up as an ally and member of my guild. http://imgur.com/G7A8uo7
