Guild Wars 2

Hey all I was considering making an alt because I finished gearing my warrior with the current max stats available. I was reading through the forums and found out that you don’t get extra tokens or money when using them in dungeons. If anyone is willing to help me out here can you give me the pros and cons of alts. Thanks for your time

To Anthony Ordon I didn’t like the patch much because even though It was nice to have a challenge in the solo arena. I play an mmo because I want to team with others I understand some thing need to be solo but it would be great to get hard team content. Hope this reaches you thanks for all your hard work on the patch but I prefer patches with team and community objectives.

I was hoping that fotm would have been one of the dungeons we would get 3 gold at least for a lvl48

Was there any mention of the direction in which the living story was heading towards? Will it be filled with a bunch of mini games, mini jumping puzzles, and festival type activities or are we finally getting huge content that we can participate with our whole server community and decent dungeons like aetherblade retreat? I think the current festivals are ok I was just hoping for content to be more action, adventure, and I can use my skill with my character to help my server or group in some fun new compelling content.

The gold bonus does not apply to fractals no, we will however continue to update both content and rewards in Fractals as the year progresses. For example: champion loot bags do indeed apply to Fractals of the Mists.

Anyone know or has there been any mention at all ?

I think if they want to do things account based why not go all the way with it. Lets see dungeon story modes, fractal level, WvW Ranks, and skins all be account bound.

If it is account wide reward then please allow achievements to be account wide as well. Ie. Story mode is completed on your main, it’s counted as completed for all characters.

What about the WvW rank system? Why does it need to be different on every character? Or is this the wvw ‘progression’ they were talking about? Farm your 5k ranks on one character and move on to the next.

Farming is ok as long as its what they want you to farm apparently.

I like this suggestion and lets make fotm level account bound as well

Well it’s your fault for putting your eggs in one basket. Or in other words, creating alts for the sole purpose of running the same dungeon multiple times.

If you love your alts so much, just run them on different paths depending on the need.

Wait what, but anet told us we could play the game the way we want to. There are people in this world that create alts for the purpose of reward, not everyone has holy intentions.

You can throw out that line as much as you want, but there will always be different groups of players that get shafted due to conflicting desires.

Not when most of their nerfs effect the farming crowd. But its useless arguing when people cant see anet EVER doing anything wrong, despite how much their philosophies have changed.

I invite you to find a suitable system that would benefit those with multiple alts and those that dont, or you can just sit down and take what Anet throw at you. Again and again.

^Agreed

Vol.5241:

The only purpose of alts is to run dungeons multiple times?

Its not the only purpose but it can provide some variety when running a dungeon you enjoy. Also I run CoE with two groups of friends I use two different characters so now I will get less out of one of my runs

What do you guys prefer account or character ?

If the rewards end up being account bound do you think its unfair to people that have many alts?

I can see you point but its still kinda lame because now I think i will just play one of the top tier classes to get my daily dungeon paths and play alts a lot less.

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

Considering ‘account based’ is the trend, I am going to assume it is account based, and I am ok with that. IMHO I dont think you should be able to farm the guaranteed reward by just swapping characters. Sort of puts those that don’t have a bunch of characters at a disadvantage (and I do have several so, Im not just thinking of me here). Making it account based puts everyone on a level playing field for acquisition.

Thanks for the response

Does anyone know if the new daily reward gold is account based or if its character based each day?

While I suspect you didn’t understand the nature of my post, I’ll entertain you with a response anyway.

I’m in-game right now. Have been for a couple of hours now. I’m enjoying it. Two monitors = double the fun. My point, however, is that I’m more than capable of thinking of my enjoyment of GW2 as its own reward along with the things I actually do achieve and obtain in the game itself. I don’t need to be rewarded again for it later.

Hey learn to use reply when making a comment to a post. Also people need to learn from this guy go have fun in-game. The leaderboard are worthless they got 500 extra points life is over

Guild Wars 1 players biggest achievement was keeping the franchise alive so that gw2 could be made they should have gotten all those points at the start of the game. I have zero points in the HOM section and still thankful for original loyal players.

Ascii.9726:

These achievements are now giving 50 AP per completed achievement instead of the previous 2, is this a bug or working as intended.

Personally i think these should not reward any AP at all, (just titles + perks) as i feel i shouldn’t be forced to play GW1 to remain highscore competitive on GW2.

I think that’s well deserved points gw1 kept the franchise alive if they didn’t you would even have the time to complain on this forum.

Curuglas.1847:

Leaderboards in this game should only award points for playing this game.

I just put it simple: If the AP gained from another game are not reduced back to their previous annoying, but rather insignificant 20 points (or better reduced to 0), I will go play another game – and none from ANet to be sure at that.

LOL have fun in another game. ( GW1 Players paid and played so we have gw2 as a result from that they deserve to be compenstated for being a loyal and helping fund this great game. I dont have any of those achievement points its not a big deal at all.

Achievements shouldn’t be based on luck we should be able to earn them through our normal play. It would feel like an achievement not a sigh of relief that you never want to step foot in crab toss again b/c that one achievement ruined the others and the match because your dead focus on just getting others rolled . I think it would be Crabtacular if this achievement changed into one that you get from just completing the other crab toss achievements. <3 this game dislike current crabtacular.

I wonder if the WvW when its ready ascended gear will require badges o_O lucky to all of you who took all your alts through the EBJP.
