Guild Wars 2

This game is dead to me.

“Replaces Bottle of Elonian Wine in the material promotion recipe.”

Are you kittening serious?

After all the threads on unfair lodestone prices,
After all the market manipulation and lack of supply,
After all that its just a 10 laurels replacement for the wine bottle that cost 25 silver.

This game is dead to me.

Arena.net just don’t have a clue.

Maybe Johns trolling me.

Well its 1st of Feb.

Anyone found out what they do yet?

Market Simulator 2013.

Too positive.

You guys clearly have not seen the first elder dragon boss fight yet.

Because they don’t want to copy the death knights from WoW.

That said, it isn’t the first time arena.net has gone back on their word.
Just look at the first event of the fire and frost update: Fetch quests.

Lonewolf Kai.3682:

Or you miss all of the heavenly glory.

Patience is also a virtue. Wait and see what it leads to, then judge it.

Usually I would.

But these are the guys that made a final boss with an elder dragon one of the most anti-climactic bosses of all time.

DarcShriek.5829:

There is an event where 3 vents spring up near the fort with the crafting stations. The event is completed once all three vents are plugged.

Get anything worthwhile?

Just transmute wisely, at the end of the day you can usually fix anything you mess up.

Except legendarys, Never ever transmute a legendary!!!

Zhaitan is without a doubt the most disappointing antagonist even after dying.

Didn’t even leave a corpse to compare with this:

Brutaly.6257:

Meditations for soloplay or with a friend/group that doesnt understand how to benefit from your boons.

As long as you have one guy that stay close enough and you have empowering might (if >40% crit chance) and symbols AH is the better choice from a healing perspective and that they in general are better support.

Note that signet of judgement also give boons to the team and conditions to the opponent while active and 10% reduction in incoming damage when passive. Basically a shout but with a passive effect.

No its not needed to have them instant in pve, in pvp they might come in handy on smite conditions. The two stun breakers in meditations are all ready instant. Reduced cd is more important and i would use either Purity or Retributive armor in wvw.

You also have to take into account,
Are you using solider runes with the #6 passive to remove conditions when you use shouts.

If you use this with stand your ground it will get you out of any situation.

Where are the token convertors?

When you think about it most of the game is just built on token vendors each patch.
And every time they do that the past tokens get more and more useless.

Skill points, Karma, WvW badges, obsidian shards, dungeon tokens, fractal relics and now laurels.

Whats next? Win the game tokens? Trade in 10 of these for….. a….precursor.

Oh.
My.
God.

Ariella Goldstein.3562:

Anyone know where to begin the prelude?

Wayfarer Foothills

Son of Elias.5420:

Yep. Livestock that the children let out every ten bleeding minutes.

I loled.

The hilarious thing is.

I think there would of been a lot less complains about the dreamer if it shot this instead:

SmirkDog.3160:

…How did this go from the price of u. dyes to how much women spend on ‘cosmetics’ and how much you have to make a year to support a family?

This is what Guild wars 2 has become, a market game about who can get the fanciest clothes and income for their legendary savings, instead of the adventure game it was meant to be.

Fishbait.6723:

Fyrebrand.4859:

An option to toggle various pieces on/off would be a good idea, though I have to say the GW2 interface is pretty minimal for an MMORPG. There’s not a lot I would want to take away for any significant length of time, but UI customization options is always a good idea.

Also, just going to leave image here for no reason…

lol yerp, I used to play that game & some of my first attempts at addon mixes were terribad.
But that was the advantage, we got used to them & could remove the ridiculously dumb things that ActiBlizz` used to add in (& add our own ;p).

Mine looked like the following in the end, along with a couple more for bgs
Two full bars of spells to right were perma-hidden.
Another bar at top similarly so.

I slogged through the daily post patch & am now stuck with the “You haven`t done Fractals for you monthly” constant reminder.
PvE, never have, never will.

Cluster I`m reminded of when trying to camera angle for that sneaky arrow cart

Your screenshot made me LOL.
How I remember that so much.

Likely because Arena.net don’t want to show off how useless it is.

It would likely look something like:
You now have 0.0001% more chance of getting a rare/uni dye/item in demand

All daily events should be solo-able. I barely got the combo killer done yesterday with 5 minutes left before midnight GMT when it reset with a random ele on WvW.

Group events for monthly’s would make more sense. People can adjust their timetable with their friends that way.

… fixing signs and collecting amulets to give to npcs for 6K karma.

….

Fetch quests in guild wars 2?

….

Face Palm
Please tell me this isn’t the new PvE content we waited a month for.
Please.

thehipone.6812:

Excluding the token ones and just looking at cost:
(Courtesy of gw2legendary.com)

Gift of wood (~23gold)
Gift of Metal (~35gold)
Gift of Energy(~37gold)

Ah!

Forgot that one.

DreamOfACure.4382:

Posting this around 10pst, knowing there’s no way I’ll be available for the one-time events that.

I’m not sure if the Living Story / Flame&Frost event is a one-time thing, but I have missed multiple events already, and it was about time I made a note of it.

Events should start later in the day, when less people are stuck in work / school, so more people can enjoy them.

If it starts any later that means us folk in GMT would be doing these events at midnight!!! We’re already doing them at 8pm GMT and we were doing the karka event almost passed midnight!

Are you mad?

Theres also the new mystic binding agent.

I think once people have their ascended amulet they will think what will give me the most gold from laurels, if that new item is a replacement for lodestones the prices will fall, mainly charged.

People who own Sunrise and Twlight still have not had the simple logging screen medal fix yet.

Why? It would take 5 minutes to code that.

I had to transmute my hotw heavy gear with a dranconic set to get the stats I wanted.

No ascended knights so I guess at some point I’m gonna be forced to wear soliders…

No

There are already enough classes which are fighting over the mats to make the legendary great swords already thank you very much.

Eat your bifrost and be happy.

Elric Of Melnibone.4781:

Not seeing much justice at this point. A minor panic sale and ZERO information on what the binding stones actually do.

Just wait till Feb the 1st, when people get 10 tokens they will get it, find out and the market will adjust for the better (hopefully)

I’m just happy we have a 100% chance outside the market to get them now, we won’t feel the frustration of hours farming them at Orr or CoE or Fractals anymore.

Now I can do my dailys knowing they are worth doing in the long run.

I’m 100% sure it is

Metal

All of the ores are very very easy to get.

Ori ore is nearly 1 silver.
Mithirl is 50 copper

You could make it in a day.

Oglaf.1074:

The one from A.C probably. Gift of… Magic? Light?

Light? Are you serious? Before the patch charged lodestones were 4 gold each.
Thats 400 gold just for one piece of the gift of light.

kingbread.6174:

your gonna have to wait at least a few more days till people have the laurels to buy them

Yeah, we will see them on Feb 1st when the monthly gives 10 laurels.

Still…

This item will likely be the only effective way for players who don’t control the market to get rare crafting materials.

I still refuse to buy the charged lodestones in the market until they at least hit one gold each.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Binding_Agent

The description on the item isn’t very clear.

What do these do?

Are they basically every single rare crafting material?

Are they used to make rare crafting materials?

Do they work like transmutation stones where you for example put a charged lodestone into a window and “bind” them that they become a stack of 10 of the item that was used?

Can we get some infomation from the devs please?

EDIT:

“Replaces Bottle of Elonian Wine in the material promotion recipe.”

Are you kittening serious?

After all the threads on unfair lodestone prices,
After all the market manipulation and lack of supply,
After all that its just a 10 laurels replacement for the wine bottle that cost 25 silver.

This game is dead to me.

Maybe they want to hide how pointless magic find really is.

Most anti-climatic boss ever.

Calae.1738:

I sold all my lodestones awhile ago. My gamble that arenanet would provide another way to aquire lodestones was correct.

Same here

Awesome.6120:

How can you tell if that is due to manipulation or just people dumping what they have while prices are still high?

Because the difference in supply.
Before the patch people brought them all to cash in, which as a negative effect made it insane to get them effectively.

But now they are regretting that.

dimentox.6019:

Whats the way to get them now?

There is a binding stone which offers a new way to get any lodestone.
Its in the new achievement token rewards vendor.

Well done Arena.net.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/bltc/Charged-lodestones-Justice-at-long-last

Thank you Arena.net

Your new patch has just shown the market manipulators true colors and shows us that they were in fact hoarding all of the markets charged lodestones to push the prices up.

Now that we have a new versatile way to acquire them those manipulators now have to sell their stones quickly to avoid gold loss.

In the first hour of the patch the price has dropped 1.5 gold and the supply has increased by 500!!!

This is truly a victory for the players and a defeat to the market manipulator!

Screen 1: Before the patch
Screen 2: 1 hour after patching

Rofl

Because the rich ori node in southcove just got removed.

xD

Agree, I would like to know what I’m getting myself into before I spent hours then learn there has been a stealth Nerf to drop rates.

Yes I’m looking at you bots!

You should get atleast a badge per kill auto in your inventory.

I got my gift of mastery through the jumping puzzles.
Doing WvW for them is impossible without you hiding behind a large zerg.
Another reason why melee classes are so dumbed down in this game.

Boon sharing shouts for the guardian are already capped at 5.

This is a great idea. It will give the hardcore PvE group something to do.

I would love a unique stance option in the game.

Like my guardian holding his great sword to his chest like a knight or drawn back in a piecing stance.

This feature will likely happen because it will likely cost gems and it means more money for a.net.

I got character slot filled with a name I want for my guardian ^^

I feel sorry for the art and design team who put so much work into the city of divinity’s reach and no one goes there.

Zileve.2089:

Got my Bifrost at 940 hours played myself.

Sooo glad it didn’t need Charged Lodestones, that kitten is insane.

There are some that think 430 gold in lodestones is acceptance.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/bltc/The-Sinister-Market-Manipulator/page/4

I wonder why.

Astraea.6075:

The Blue Ace.2850:

Vol.5241:

The Blue Ace.2850:

They’re being very very stubborn about this topic.

Hilarious that you’re still bitter.

Hilarious that your a blind fool.
If anything I’m very very satisfied at this point.
When john dodged my question he made it clear that those lodestones aren’t meant to be that price and if they were, he could of simply said “Yes they are meant to be that price”.

But he didn’t.

So when your done bullying people on the fourms, come back later.

So a dev not answering your post is confirmation that something is wrong with lodestone prices? You need to try better…

So why didn’t he say that the prices were fine instead of the all the fuss.

I’m waiting.

Acarius.3052:

I am working on my Legendary, and I was wondering how long it took you to get your legendary. Thank you!

1000 hours in, Still looking for those charged lodestones.
