Guild Wars 2

Woah, too many people are missing the point of the material storage. Listing items that they simply don’t want to have in their inventory/bank.

My personal opinion is that material are items that have use in any crafting profession. Items that are only used in the Mystic Forge shouldn’t go into the material storage.

I’ll repeat items that people told here but here goes my vote:
- All doubloons
- Unidentified Dye
- Blade Shard
- Shimmering Crystal
- Tenebrous Crystal
- Amalgamated Gemstone
- Milling Basin
- All Agony Infusions
- Lesser Vision Crystal
- Vision Crystal
- Augur’s Stone
- Vendor items for Scribing and other materials only used for Scribing (* Lumber Core, Crystalline Bottle…)

Items like Reclaimed Metal Plate, Chak Egg, Crests, Medallions, Philosopher’s Stone, Baubles, Legendary Insights, All weapon gifts, Tomes of Knowledge, Boosters SHOULDN’T go into the material storage.

On another note I really wish we could get a Mini-like system for Endless/Infinite Tonics. New tonics are coming with each patch and it’s getting difficult to keep them all, not to mention that you can only use them on a character that has them in his/her inventory (there are not enough Shared Inventory Slots for all of those either).

I always keep them during my ‘travels’, once I’m done I put them all into the Mystic Forge Conduit I carry in my shared inventory slot.

Sometimes I do get a pricey one that I sell or keep for my own needs. Rune/Sigil salvage is a good idea. Maybe I should start hoarding them xD

I personally am not a fan of repeatable hearts. This game already had too many daily tasks. More and more coming with each new map…

I’d be more happy if they were normal hearts but the items you buy from them are once per day, like the Pact Supply vendors.

I also have this issue. The reward is grayed out even though I completed the story and got ALL the achievements from the Story category…

How did you not figure that one out on your own? The game teaches you the mechanic like 30 seconds before Adrienne on those Bloodstone Golems…

Yeah I also have a feeling the drop chances are nerfed. Could be RNG though but I doubt it. Personally I haven’t seen a chest in a while nor have I seen people linking chests that often in guild chat or my fractal party after we are done.

This is pretty much my gliding experience in Bloodstone Fen.

One of the funniest things I saw today. Thanks for this

Anyways, I do agree that something needs to be changed about these rock throwers. It’s not THAT bad, but still.. can get pretty annoying.

Same thing happened yesterday to my team. After the 4th rift it stopped moving. We had a few seconds before the illusions caught up to us to retake the core. We were attacking it like mad during those few seconds but it refused to move

- Wardrobe-like thing for Endless/Infinite Tonics

- Gathering tools (at least endless ones) to be usable from inventory/shared slot or directly from the slot that they are equipped in

- Trading post filter to exclude the items you already have

Minions, illusions and God knows what else now triggers those shards. Kinda the same thing with Xera at the moment. Those red orbs are triggered by minions and illusions as well.

This is happening to my group right now as well. Feedback takes down a few stacks, than stops for like 3 seconds and continues again. Something is blocking it. Gonna tell necros now to switch blood magic.

I always considered SAB patch to be the best thing that happened to this game. Now I’ll add this one up there at the top next to SAB. Amazing job, truly. I have NOTHING to QQ about in this patch.

Yeah this would be very useful.

I for one have no issues with the length and the content of this patch. It’s just about right if you ask me. I’d be super annoyed if they added something grindy/timegated so that we are busy for the next 2-3 months.

This patch was just amazing.

I finished it on a chronotank… it took a bit cause I do so little damage but I never died. In a single story instance…

So I guess this is a typical l2p type of a thing. You don’t even need to kill the adds there.

I just came here to say that I’m super impressed with this patch. Loving every single thing that came with it so far (have yet to try the new fractal though, but I’ve seen the interface and changes via WP’s videos).

I especially love the QoL changes and the story itself. The pacing is amazing and the length is just perfect.

The new map is also awesome. Doesn’t seem too grindy and looks very fun. I was afraid they’ll put some huge time gated things and grindy stuff to make us busy till the next episode, but as far as I can see nothing like this happened. And that makes me very very happy. Good job Anet!

How is Caithe in any way responsible for that first bullet there? It wasn’t her fault, its not like she could have prevented it

Hello: She knew before almost everyone that Slyvari were originally property of Mordremoth and she let Treahearne and countless other Slyvari go straight into the battle, in his territory, without giving him any warning. It might not have stopped Mordremoth from bringing down the ships, but it could have definitely stopped him from immediately claiming weaker Slyvari, fanning the flames, reduced the causalities, and stopped the racist hatred from being planted towards them. She practically handed the Pact and her Slyvari brothers/sisters to him by not giving Treahearne this critical intel. No general worth their salt would have allowed this risk if they knew of it.

I don’t even want to start the whole Caithe thing again, but I do have to say one thing. Edit your post and correctly spell Sylvari.

Back to the topic. I found it an interesting read also. She was very vague sadly. I do wish to know EVERYTHING she found out in ‘Data Novus’. I want to be there with her and help her with all the data

I kinda wish LS1 to not come back. Feels more rewarding to people who were actually there. The skins and stuff we got from it have a bigger value since we were there and we got it.

And how there are still infinite ghosts in Ascalon despite Rytlock’s ritual thingamajig prior to HoT.

His ritual failed afaik.

I do this event once a day, every day for my Amalgamated Gemstone. I’ve yet to see it fail in weeks.

Plot twist, Garm was the Vinetooth that killed Eir.

Will the introduction of a new fractals reset the achievements again?
Should I rush to finish them now before it happens?

I’d pay gems just to be able to play SAB any time I want >_>

This actually looks good. I’d probably go for it.

Take all the time you need. I don’t mind the waiting. As long as you finish everything in a way you wanted it to be, not to cut something.

Besides I still have a lot of collections to finish in game and grind that came with HoT so I don’t mind the waiting

1. Trio
2. Escort
3. Gorseval
4. Keep Construct
5. Slothazor
6. Sabetha
7. Xera

My suggestion would be to keep the daily achievements, even raise the cap if it’s so wanted. But then make sure we can see permanent achievement points of other players and give a reward based on only those points.

I’ve been also playing since day 1 of 3 day head start and I recently hit 22k achie points. My daily+monthly points aren’t even half way there to 15k.

With the cap I can finally slowly but surely catch up to people who have 30k cause of their maxed out dailies. If they increased the cap I’d be super annoyed.

I second this. The only reason why I only have world completion on my main is cause I’m too lazy to do hearts again.

Lol this guy again. First I lol’d so hard at the thief post in raids and now this. You sure made my day again. Keep up the good work.

I’m not sure if I should make a thread here or in the bug section, a moderator can move it wherever he thinks it belongs.

Just finished Tangled Depths meta event with 5 minutes left on the timer (we were very fast). Everyone gathered at the door waiting for the timer to count down to zero so that we can get our final reward.

One minute left and boom, loading screen for… Tangled Depths? Everyone from the squad appeared in a different version of Tangled Depths, our map apparently closed. No reward for anyone.

TD meta is not that hard so I’m not even angry this happened, but I feel the need to report this issue. This wasn’t the first time something like this happened. A few days ago the same thing happened during T4 attempt in Verdant Brink a few minutes after the Night started. Lucky for us we gathered again quick and finished the thing.

None of these maps were empty, they were full actually so the reason why a map closes when it’s full is beyond me.

Hopefully this issue will be fixed soon-ish. As we all know HoT metas appear once every 2 (?) hours and it doesn’t feel very nice when something like this happens especially if you’ve been waiting for a while to do the thing.

I hardly doubt it’s bannable. If it was then they’d have to ban half of their playerbase.

And even if they cared so much about multiloot I believe they could fix it rather fast. Two very simple solutions. Make it impossible to join a finished map, just like Dragons Stand or just make the chests account bound to have a cooldown of like 1 hour or something so that you can loot them again the next time the meta comes. I’m sure something similar can already be found somewhere in the game and used here.

You haven’t done your daily? I don’t know. What are you aiming at here?

I wish SAB was here more often… it’s my favorite game mode

Haven’t seen a subject on this? I’m sure I’ve seen dozen of subjects about this when the skin was released.

I just had to come back to this thread and laugh at the “raids are already dead”.

I’m a Mesmer main and I think that Ele is far more viable in both PvE and PvP at the moment. Mesmer is currently in a bad spot.

There are people complaining all the time, for all sorts of things. Even the ones you mentioned just now. But lets not go there. Some things will never change.

It’s a fact that the change to Gift of Battle was a big one that deserved a proper announcement in game or in the Legendary section of the patch notes. As a person who never plays WvWvW I never read WvWvW section of the patch notes, why would I?

It would only be fair to bring back the vendor for a day or two so that the people who have stacks of Badges of Honor can use them.

It’s a huge mistake for Anet if they don’t do something like this.

As for the thing you said that you can do it in 1 day, I can confirm that. It’s absolutely possible. From what I heard you need 8 hours of WvWvW to get the full reward track. Not too bad if you ask me, but now I feel forced to do something I never did so meh. At least I can buy cheap cultural armor now and get the Emperor title if they decide to never bring the vendor back.

moontothecake.4532:

You do realize you had to WvW to get those 500 badges of honor before right?

Not really, no. Achievement chests give A LOT of those badges. I hardly ever did WvWvW and I have over 10k Badges of Honor.

Some kind of a key chain for all the endless/infinite tonics would be a blessing for me.

In my raid group we have one thief he brings good dps and cc , and we have been running with him for months now.

Just wait for the next patch , maybe they will split skills in PvE-PvP and some proffessions will become better on PvE wihout beeing broken on PvP.

I’d be surprised if you didn’t have a thief lol. Thief is a great class, it can dps and tank with the best of them. I just wanna do more than just those two roles tho

My team almost never uses a thief and we clear all 3 wings each week usually all bosses first try.

What other roles would you like to do as a thief besides dps and tanking I wonder? Should someone open a thread now for a mesmer saying how they want more roles other than being quickness/alacrity bots?

This still feels like one of those “I can only play one class and I want it to be super viable in raids” type of things. If you are a dedicated raider you are pretty much forced to have other classes geared up as well. I want my main to be used for other things in raids as well but that will probably never happen, and I’m fine with it, I’ll just roll something else.

Your assumption is wrong. I do raids weekly and I’ve finished all raid achievements from all 3 wings. I missed the part about giving those boons to your allies, I thought it’s just to strip it from the boss before he one shots you.

Yes, you NEED certain things in some encounters, but multiple classes can do it. Boon strip and reflect for example. Clearing orbs and bloodstone shards is something an ele does best, that’s true. I’m sure some other class can do it too but Ele works best so why bother.

Personally I’d rather have a mechanic where you need to run to a certain spot to get that stealth to survive the raid wipe ability.

I thought this would be a thread where you ask for good JPs to come back since HoT offered almost none. I revisited some of the old ones cause of dailies this week and I got so hit by nostalgia cause I didn’t visit them in a long long time.

Some of the puzzles are so amazing and I remember all the great times I had when a group of friends and I explored them first. Hell I remember refreshing various JP pages on the internet back on release to see if some new was discovered. They were so much fun back in the day. One of my favorite places of entertainment.

Mesmer with boon strip trait can do the thingy you mentioned far better.

As for the stealth part I could argue that other classes can do it too, with stacking and such, but lets not go there yet.

This whole post almost makes it sound like you want to have a thief an absolute requirement for a specific encounter. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I can’t recall a single encounter in the current wings where a class is a must have.

Doing the whole “This class is mandatory for this encounter or it’s a raid wipe” would be the stupidest thing ever.

I’ve seen thieves in w1, even two of them on Sabetha, a few times in w2 as well. But I do understand that they are not in the current meta for raid. And I’m totally fine with that, it’s a selfish class and other classes fill the slot far better in my opinion.

Everything lags when the ley line event is up, even the ley line event itself :P

Gonna do raids later tonight and if I don’t get the Bloodstone-Infused Ectoplasm this week again I’ll be very very displeased. That’s the only thing blocking my collection progress for weeks.

Rashy.4165:

Mechanics were basically recycled, so most players who’ve been raiding for a while know what to do when certain things happen.

This. So many things were recycled to a point where it’s no longer fun. Circular boss arenas also need to go. It became dull back in w1.

You can stab an elephant and it will bleed too. Doesn’t make it human

Furry confirmed

I think I read somewhere about charr romance. Could be in the books. I forgot the details but if I remember correctly it’s more of a no strings attached type of a thing. But no cheating or anything. Two charr stay together just to be together, to have a mate. Until they decide it’s time to move on.

Illuzion.3576:

Nothing is new. Everything is related to farming. One way or the other.

Pretty much. I remember back in the vanilla I’d log into the game and just… play. Now I have a ‘daily schedule’ type of a think that I do mostly every day when I login.

When I finally finish all of those daily tasks (AKA Grind) I feel so tired that I simply logout and go do something else.

I know that most people won’t agree, but that’s just how it is for me right now.
