Guild Wars 2

Not many people crafted it. There are probly no people selling it

The jumping puzzle is easy as piss.
If you can even call it a jumping puzzle, it isnr hard at all.

Sarcazar.6148:

So you’re saying that you want all the events to start on YOUR time? Wouldn’t that mean the people in America would have the same problem that you have right now?

Read his post.

He said sea of sorrows, which is a mostly oceanic server.

Swordbreaker.2581:

We already have Sli/crossfire support

If thats what you call sli support then that is pathetic. 30fps in LA with 2 670s is absolute crap.
They need to optimize this kittening game, its been months.

I agree. Im sick of arena net making faulse promises to the community. Im also getting less rares. Atleast it feels that way. The only thing i think was good that they added was the karma vials and higher silver drops from dungeon champs

Its just a poorly optimized game which uses very little cpu power. Yet arena net claim otherwise

Squall Leonhart.2075:

your gpus will be only made to do as much work as the CPU allows.

a 3570 @ 4.5ghz is not bottlenecking 2 670’s

im sick of Anet saying GW2 support SLI, im getting as low as 25 fps in some areas with 2 670’s. I also get disappearing banners in the character creation screen. Yet they keep telling me gw2 supports sli.

just had a friend whos guildie just got “zap” off of a trash mob in SoS. This pleases me.

i agree,

i ran this today and after an hour of trying to do the boss with a semi kitten pug. I just left, I had enough. It is too hard and requires no skill. All it is is kiteing but if you have an all mele group you may aswell just leave.

agreed,

anet need to get their kitten together.

i think powerful blood will drop because of karka, ive gotton 4 per hour off of them

really hope devs look at this…

After the recent launch of FoM. A lot of people have realized the importance of communication in gw2. unfortunately we have to resort to “teamspeak” or other third party software to utilize our mics. I really want to see party voip implemented as it would save the hassle of asking players to download teamspeak etc etc. Now you could argue voip isn’t required. But for FoM 80% of the time it is, unless you get a lucky pug that knows what they are doing. Coordinating a full team of pugs via text while half way through a boss just does not work and gets you killed.

Can i get some opinions as i really think this would work well. It would also boost the socializing aspect of the game a lot too!

i think an in-game party voip would be awsome

nearly got to Difficulty 3. But some kitten left and i just gave up on humanity after that.

with FoM VOIP is needed. you cannot coordinate with your teammates on the fly via text. I will never tough another PUG again for FoM. I ran pugs all day today and i got so angry i had to just log off and do something else.

The dungeons are pretty cool though, once you have a propper team that is.

these forums are a mess… kitten me.

anyway il repost it here.

“i dont know about you guys but i am sick of this dye “auto changing” colours on me. Its absolute crap and does not accomplish anything. I wish Anet would just leave things simple. If i want to dye my armor, DON’T CHANGE THE kittenING COLOURS FOR ME. I cant even dye my character all black. See image attached for the result of a character in all black dye.

This needs to be removed, Or at least have an option to remove it as me and many other guildies are sick of it. I don’t know a single person who likes it."

this mission does need to be re-done. Teamspeak is almost a must, I found myself screaming at pugs because they just dont communicate.

yeah i also want this hammer. Its the best looking skin i have ever seen i love it. When it glows that is.

why the hell is it when people leave your party you cant bring a new person in without restarting EVERYTHING. i was 2/3 on difficulty 2. and 2 of our pugs left, we tried to get a friend to take their place but they got put in a different fractal. That is absolute bull kitten, this needs to be fixed. All it takes is a DC and the whole run is over.

wow im on my last run for difficulty 2, and someone got blown off the edge and the hammer is now sitting in mid air. Safe to say me and the party are pissed off.

pic below.

basically i cant use the dyes i want because they kittening change to a crap looking brown.

i contacted anet and i was told “oh its supposed to do that”. I dont know anyone who wants their black dye to turn into poo brown.

What it should look like:
http://i.imgur.com/rjw6M.jpg

What happens after i apply the dye:
http://i.imgur.com/Laioh.jpg

(yeah i know i still need my TA legs)

can their please be an option to disable the dye colour changing. It is so annoying and ive had to buy numerous dyes to try and avoid it.

cant help but have a little giggle at peoples self righteous comments acting as if they are above all the peasants in society because they have a legendary. I really do hope you are mad about how much easier legendary’s are to get as of today’s update haha.

power vit toughess will be great for my guardian, thanks guys

This has probably been answered but i couldnt find the thread, i was just wondering how legendary transmution works. Does it still retain its legendary status? For example the character i am crafting twilight for is an offtank guardian, so i want power precision toughness in my greatsword. So i cant use twilights stats, so what happens if i transmute it with th current “knight” exotic gs?

So a few days ago i made a post having a rant about how hard legendarys are to get. The people that werent getting all butthurt and actually shared why they think legendarys are reasonable have made me change my opinion. The only thing i think is a bit steep are the lodestones and lottery chance pre cursor.
I think people are correct when they say that legendarys arent for everyone, i agree with this and they should be a symbol of your dedication to the game.
I think the karma is very reasonable. Especially with the daily and monthly karma jugs, doing your daily’s and saving up your karma jugs + running orr casually will have you 1 mil karma in 2 months easy.
I think the problem for most people will be the gold factor.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be legit. She did mention help from friends… Who’s to say her entire guild didn’t contribute? 1 person can’t farm the weapon from scratch in 2 weeks…but 50-100 people who already have some of the mats…why not? I also watched a friend of mine buy 4 rare lvl 80 staffs, put them in MF and leave with The Legend. First try. Some people are just born lucky(and I hate them for it). And he actually offered to give it to me if I wanted to craft The Bifrost. So, anyway, is it legit? Nobody can tell but that person. Can it be legit? Absolutely. Is this topic fuelled by jealousy? You bet it is….

jealousy? sure why not.

all i asked is if anyone knew how this was possible so i could apply that technique to getting my legendary.. get off your high horse.

Day.4501:

Timmy.9371:

Ive done countless hours of research, i have a friend who is a professional power trader. And he can only make 20g a day. So what the hell can you farm that makes you more money then that? You would need 13+ lodestones a day or 12+ exotics to drop.

Only 20g a day for a professional?

yes.. i dont know if you know much about the TP, but the buy to sell ratio is messed up on nearly every item. You wither buy something that buy’s instantly or you sell something that doesnt sell for 5 days.

SteepledHat.1345:

The map completion seems possible. I could see you doing it in two weeks. (If you rush through everything.) Prices were much lower back then. So the money is possible. Her friends were possibly gold sellers. Who knows.

yeah map completion can be done in a week, but the karma is what i find hard to believe. She also had very broken English which leads me to assume (I’m not trying to be racist) she could be associated with gold sellers as 98% of gold sellers i have seen speak very poor English.
That’s a very narrow minded view i know.

So i was in malchors leap and i bumped into one of SoS’s players who have eternity.
I whispered her and ask how long it took and she said 2 weeks, I couldn’t believe it. I asked her how she made over 800g and 2mil karma in 2 weeks and she said she borrowed some money from friends and just farmed karma for 2 weeks. She also did map completion in this time. Can anyone tell me if you know how this person managed this? I mean i know some people could play for 16 hours strait… But are people REALLY that dedicated to getting a vanity item in a video game? I farm plinx for an hour and get so bored i go do some map completion..

Picture of him/her with Eternity (blanked out their name for privacy reasons)
http://i.imgur.com/NZZfb.jpg

so ive seen a lot of people post about how they can make over 20g per hour, anyone care to share with me how they manage this? they said its without playing the TP, farming plinx only gets me about 3g an hour..

Krulz.6245:

Legendary’s it’s legendary, you don’t need to go for it if you don’t want to, isn’t easy or fast…of course.

the only end game is getting a legendary.
the rest of the things to do you can do at nearly any level,
grinding plinx for hours on end is boring, this is why people are unhappy. Its not a skill factor. It is a who can grind the most factor.

attention seekers, attention seekers everywhere.

to every single moron saying not to make the pre cursors too easy and they like the challenge, since when is grinding the challenge? the only challenge i came to when grinding was trying not to lose my mind from the absolute boredom.

namastex.8906:

If you farm Orr/nodes for money, you are doing something wrong… Orr is for karma only, there are plenty of ways to make money faster than farming. I can make around 30g in 2 hours, the pricing on precursors are very reasonable.

I also find it funny how people call the people who used godskulls to create precursors ‘exploiters’ when all they did was/is use the cheapest route to create level 80 exotics. Nothing was exploited and they never had a ‘higher’ chance of getting a precursor, it just saved money and/or made profit while trying for a precursor.

how do you make 30g in 2 hours…

frak.5239:

Malediktus.9250:

Very good news, lets hope precursors drop below 100g. They shouldnt cost more than a full set of t3 cultural armor.

why? because you think so?
how about people who farmed their soul off since day 1 and bought them full price?

first karma jugs and now precursors
next we’ll see clovers, lodestones and runestones easier to acquire thanks to people who think they’re entitled to get a legendary only because they want to, while barely working towards it

careful you don’t have a hernia

Erasculio.2914:

TurboGuard.4865:

Here’s a simple solution that everyone should be able to agree on: let achievement points go towards legendary components or legendaries themselves. That way you could actually work towards a legendary by actually enjoying and participating in all facets of the game and not just mindlessly grinding, playing the TP, or exploiting.

Then people would find a way to exploit achievemnt completition. They would look at the entire list of achievements, see which one give the best points gain/time spent ratio, and abuse said achievement as much as possible. Also keep in mind that the amount of achievement points a casual player is going to make per day is very limited – many of the refreshing ones require a lot of time spent grinding.

everything will be exploited its an online game….

look at plinx for example.

Horheristo.3607:

While I completely agree with this topic.

Just wanted to say that there are ways make a lot more money / 1hour.
I for one, make over 20g within 2h+ every day without messing with the TP.
Working on your alts is one good example, since this game serves no purpose for 1 main character to begin with.

That said, Legendaries should remain as their name imply, but not at such grand cost. perhaps a 1/4th or 1/3rd cut of the total price will do.
Plenty of solutions have been suggested to obtain a precursor weapon… I’ve read that Anet are addressing this issue in upcoming update so we’ll see how this goes.

how do you make 20g per 2/hrs…

frak.5239:

this is absolute stupidity, and for the last time nobody is forcing you to farm
you don’t want to spend endless hours getting karma? don’t get a legendary… unlike gw1, there are an immense number of beautiful skins in the game (and some are still undiscovered) for every budget, so you don’t have any reason to complain about not being able to get a legendary
how about buy items when they’re cheap (buying ectos at 20s is stupid), gather orichalcum by yourself (you’ll get it during the time you farm everything else anyways), make lodestone out of cores and get a part of each t6 material stack by crafting clovers?

learn to buy and sell at the right moment, and for god sake when there are multiple ways to get an item go for the cheapest

i’m so pissed off of threads bashing legendaries, and i can’t stand people who think they’re entitled to get a legendary because they want to, you either give yourself the means to do it or you don’t and stop whining, it’s just a game and nobody cares about your frustration

please take your moronic posts elsewhere, Barely any of the legendarys (on sea of sorrows atleast) are legit. I and many others are aware people purchase gold from gold sellers to make this happen. I have a friend who has been a power trader for over 6 years, he made over 300g on the Halloween event with BL chests, the only viable way to make mass amounts of money in gw2 is to play the TP, but if everyone does this then the market will crash. You have no idea what you are talking about please dont ever post here again.

In my personal opinion, the only thing difficult about legendaries are the precursors, which are already being addressed.

Lodestones really aren’t that difficult to get either, I personally average around 10 per every 5 days, doing all 3 paths of CoE once a daily.

Ectoplasm is the same, you can do events in orr to get rares, as well as use the large bones that drop so frequently to go back and craft lvl 80 rares to salvage for ectoplasm.

You can easily get 250 ecto within a week and a half of doing so. This is all my personal experience/opinion though.

What exactly do you want changed about these materials?

what i want changed is the way you obtain these gifts. I think that instead of a massive grind for karma. You do an extreamly hard jumping puzzle for one part of the gift, Then an exclusive dungeon for another (that you have to solo). I just look at people with a legendary and think wow they got lucky with the tp and wow they spent a lot of time running plinx. Not thinking WOW he’s a really skilled player.

Well with the karma thing, you get karma from dungeons as well as your daily now. If you use the guild banner/boost as well as the normal booster you can receive an extra 70% = 7.6k karma just from doing your daily which takes a minimum of 20-30mins at level 80.

I’m not sure how doing a jumping puzzle or a 1 man dungeon is indicative of player skill. For example, a lot of people were complaining about the Clocktower puzzle, yet my friend who can’t even do his personal story completed it. That puzzle was considered “hard” by the community.

I understand where you are coming from, and It’s nice you’re putting ideas out here for people to discuss. I just don’t think they are exactly befitting of a means of acquiring legendary weapons.

i found the clockwork puzzle really easy.
its different from some.

what i mean is the legendary’s need to be obtained with skill. Not massive grinds, I don’t mean get the whole legendary from a jumping puzzle, Just replace the karma with the puzzle for example. It would give me at least, more motivation.

I have a feeling the new dungeon they are adding on the 15th will have a part in all of this. They were saying the dungeon had multiple levels and if you manage to get to the bottom you will get “really good loot”.

Maybe there will be lodestones, jugs of karma etc. =P

i really do hope so

Talel.2879:

In my opinion the only problem are the lodestones (especially the charged lodestones since they’re required in a lot of cool items). Ectos on the other hand are easy to obtain.

easy to obtain yes. But very expensive, unless you spend countless hours farming rares

I just wanted to address the absolute ridiculousness of how legendarys are acquired.
Below is a visual representation i have made (mad paint skillz #yolo)

I have seen the forum post from anet addressing they are aware of the pre cursors etc etc. But it isnt the pre cursors that are the problem… Its the lodestones and ecto’s They are too hard to get and too expensive.

please share your thoughts.

why wasn’t this implemented at launch lol?

the icons and skins are so different in GW2 you have no idea what your buying actually looks like. How hard can this be to put in?
