Guild Wars 2

Balthazar up on Underworld (EU)

Underworld (EU) attempting Balthazar right now! Come help.

I don’t suppose I could request a close to this thread? It’s a waste of memory real estate.

“Everything is broken!” – Is it? Really? When a lot of other people that play it seem to have no problems at all with any of the systems? Sure there are bugs, but the game is still very playable.

“The main problem is it’s not guild wars 1!” – Really? It took you this long to realise that it’s a different game? No wonder you’re so dead set on telling other people it’s bad. You’re playing the wrong game! Guild Wars 1 is still there! go on! your gamer haven is just over there in your games folder.

“I keep playing because I paid for it! It should be better because I did.” – Sure, you paid for it, along with all the other players who love the game dearly, why is your opinion so important in comparison to theirs? That being said, my steam library is filled with over 100 games, I still haven’t played nearly 80 of them. If you buy it and don’t enjoy it? play something else, I’m a huge fan of the witcher series atm!

“All my toons are boring and there’s nothing to do at end game!” – Well…there are quite a few things to do at endgame…So why not go do one of those instead of ignoring them?

“I want something to do at endgame! But I don’t want to grind for it.” – So you want some sort of progression…over time I’m assuming? I’m sorry, I’m not sure how you can have any kind of progression when time isn’t put into the mix…Let’s have a look at the definition of progression shall we?

A movement or development toward a destination or a more advanced state, esp. gradually or in stages.

So tell me…how do you do this without some sort of timesink, whilst keeping you busy for years to come? Hmm…I’d like to hear some thoughts on this.

“They keep removing content!” – Let’s be honest here…If it was there permanently, would you play the dragon bash mini game? Yes? Okay, now tell me the truth. Admittedly I’m sad about the super adventure box, but there’s promises of more. I don’t mind it getting taken away if it keeps that “oooohhh shiny!” appeal.
But things like the southsun magic find/gold find providers, I hear people complained when they took those away…I see, so you want free stuff for very little effort? Wait? All the time? The molten facility? Sure! great dungeon…I don’t know how many times I would have played it through any more though – I already know the tactics off by heart. Aetherblade? Cool dungeon, duoed it with a friend for giggles, still don’t know how many times I’d play it without getting bored…Really the only reason to run any of those dungeons after you had the achievements was either a). the loot or b). the fun of it. So you wanted to get some rare loot and sell it for lots of gold? Ahh well, it’s a shame it’s gone for goo…..oh wait…nevermind. new fractals you say? yes…that’d be cool.

I think I covered everything…

So, I’m just going to post this here:

This tier is time-constrained, so each item can only be made once per day in order to help give high-level crafters their own economy of items to build and sell that retain their value and rarity.

I would like to point out that one can’t maintain their own economy of items to build and sell if it’s soulbound.

So yes, the items will be craftable, however they will also be purchasable. I imagine that you’re panicking over soulbound because of this?

These weapons and armor will also be able to be found as rare drops from locations in the world. Ascended weapons and armor will remain account-bound like other ascended gear.

To which I would probably say only applies to the drops? or perhaps it’s only bound to the account once you actually soulbind it. Either way we don’t have enough information to verify any of this.

Quit panicking and wait for the proper information, you’re all making speculation over an article that was outlining the direction they wanted to go this year. Not providing ridiculous details about how your current gear is going to be “useless” as soon as they post a new patch.

I’ll just…Yaknow…put this here….

" In the near future, we’ll detail the system we’ll use to replace the existing magic find items. Our goal will be to have as little disruption as possible to those who currently own items with a magic find stat on them." – The blog post you’re talking about

Balthazar Uncontested on Underworld EU as of 13:15 18th July 2013

Underworld EU are pushing for an uncontested Balthazar now! Guest and come join us!

I’m getting this issue too, whenever I load into the zone I’m okay for a couple minutes, but then I get the “Send error report to Arenanet” window pop up and the game crashes.

Nothing yet, though I flicked the TCPAckFrequency switch, which seems to be making it a little better my end, though I’ve not checked routing, so they could have fixed it by now.

Kitten happens, as it were.

I wouldn’t panic over the loss of access too much, the dungeon was the only “content” to speak of, and it wasn’t particularly challenging. I mean, the drops were cool but I went there what? maybe 3 times? about 45 minutes each time.

It worries me that players are concerned about content going away if they can’t get on for an hour in little over two weeks. There’s a lot of content out there…Just because it’s only here for two weeks, doesn’t make it any different from all of the other content in the game.

Then again, people get unlucky, but look at it this way: If you were on holiday for this event and missed it, it’s a shame…but then on the next event you’re all prepared for and can attend – there will be another guy who won’t be able to play it. Sure it’s gutting, but it’s not the end of the game…there will be more!

However if all you’re worried about is you might have missed something cool to look at, I’m sure youtube will indulge you.

Location: Bristol, United Kingdom.
ISP: Sky Broadband

The whole household is affected, I’ve tried every trick in the book to fix it client-side. So I leave it in your hands!

Hope this helps!

Effectively if you leave something in the chest & wait a minute, you are able to reloot the chest with an entire loot reset. So for example:

If I open the chest and see a rare & 2 blues. If I take the rare and leave 2 blues behind – wait a minute or so then loot the chest again It’ll be as if I didn’t loot at all. So I might see 2 rares and a green. All from the same chest.
