Seriously, where is that toggle? it driving me nuts having to close all these inventories, loot bags, etc manually by clicking. why in the flying kitten the escape key doesnt work? it was working perfectly yesterday.

Go to the options menu its right in the middle. It says disable closing windows with ESC. Under the user interface section.

I think he means ranger since hunter is what the class is called in other games. Anyway if you are not happy with the class i would say try out warrior.

Cooking still maxes out at 400?

Correct right now only weapon making professions can get to 500. So Weaponsmith, Huntsman, and Artificer go to 500. All others still only go to 400.

I don’t get it…
Trahearne is not that bad a guy, why all the hate?

People do not like him mainly because they think he “stole their story”; that Trahearne is the main character of the Personal Story, not the player.

My only problem with him is the voice acting to be honest. He doesn’t sound inspiring, and as the leader of the Pact, he should be. I forgive him, though, because he loves the PC so much and he always make sure that we know how important we are for him. I used to hate him, but now I believe that there are characters that are worse than him (I am looking at you, Kiel). I am not a huge fan of Trahearne, but I don’t mind him that much anymore.

INFRACTION!!!!! You named both Kiel and Trahearne in the same post. You must now be shamed for many many nights.

A road map if you would sir! We’re in the woods with no direction and no answers! =*(

With leagues coming up and orbs about to be introduced, yeah, we really could use a good long discussion about the state and the future of WvW.

Well for the near future they are taking a break from working on wvw. They said that during the league season there will be NO significant changes to wvw so the field stays even….. pretty good excuse if you ask me. Gives them a good amount of time to really make some good changes with out people asking for things right away because they already covered their kitten with the league.
Also as many of the devs including Colin and Devon have said they will not be giving us specific information about their plans for future things because than if for some reason it doesn’t happen or they want to do something different they wouldn’t get grief for it. Ignorance is bliss i guess.
Edit: Here is the quote by Devon: To further incentivize spending your points we will not be introducing any new ability lines during the season, nor shall we be making any other changes to WvW, with the exception of bug fixes, until the season concludes. This is to ensure that the playing field is as level as it can be at the start and the finish of the season.

Essence of Luck - Recipes?

I don’t understand why this should be restricted to artificers. I do have a lvl 400 artificer, but that is not my main character. Every profession should know how to convert them.

Really? Every profession should know how to do the same thing? Kinda odd request. Almost like asking that your armorsmith can make food buffs cause you don’t want to spend the minute and a half of putting the food in you storage and than logging on to another character to use it.

Magic find and gathering

in Crafting

Posted by: Uther Deathhand.1570

Uther Deathhand.1570

The power of the mists (WvW buff) increases your chance to be able to gather again, so instead of hitting a tree 3 times you can hit it 4 times for example. Magic find, as confirmed many a times by devs only affects loot that is dropped by mobs. It has no effect on opening boxes in your inventory, opening chests, using the mystic forge, or gathering.

They said that any place that you could get any other ascended item you can also get weapons, so you could get them from the rank up chests.
Edit: This is for weapons i don’t think there is anyway to get back items in wvw as of now. Hopefully it will be soon.

Salvage help + greens

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Uther Deathhand.1570

Uther Deathhand.1570

All of what you asked depends on what you actually want. If you want to get essences of luck than you can use any kits on blues and greens. If you want ectos than use mystic/master kits on rares. If you want high end mats than use the highest level (master/mystic) or if you can get them black lion kits. If there is a sigil/rune that you really want than use a black lion kit because it is guaranteed that you will get the upgrade item.
With using the mystic forge you put greens in to get them upgraded to rares which you can than salvage to get ectos. However if you are lvl 27 than there is no point in doing this because you can’t really get ectos out of rares until they are level 68.

(NOTE) It is possible to get ectos out of rares below 68 and lower raritys but it is so rare that it is not worth it.

Ascended weapons worth it?

in Crafting

Posted by: Uther Deathhand.1570

Uther Deathhand.1570

My question is, do they ONLY take infusions, or can you still use sigils/crests/jewels? Because if they only take infusions, then no, it is not worth it at all. Sigils tend to have a lot more utility than infusions, which are just a stat boost. I just realized that today, after wasting a lot of time and gold doing jumping puzzles and grinding/salvaging exotics.

They still have sigil slots. Also 2 handed weapons have two infusion slots just so you know.

Is it possible exotic weapons have an higher drop rate than other exotics?

I dont think they do, the chance of Ecto is determined by the salvage kit. Which is 25% chance with a Master and 50% with Blacklion Salvage kit.

But Exotics do have a bigger range. Where Rare’s give 1-3 Ecto’s, Exotics give 1-5. So salvaging Exotics will result in more ecto’s, assuming a large enough sample size.

Exotics only give 0-3 ectos same as rares.

I hope they just make the ascended gear different looking and not better stats like the trinkets (exotic vs. ascended). If you think about it, it will only make the casual gamer’s (there are more casual gamer’s than hardcore gamer’s) not want to play anymore because they will never be able to keep up with the players who play every hour on the hour to get the new ascended gear. I’m not saying that Guild Wars 2 will lose players because of an update, but it definitely will discourage the casual gamer, that’s all.. I myself just spent a week getting my exotic gear transmuted to Tier 3 Armor which we all know cost a pretty penny. I simply can’t put my life on hold for the game which will most likely discourage me from playing. So again, I honestly hope they don’t make the stats way better or like the ascended trinkets, but more of a cosmetic feature.

Guess you have not heard any information on ascended weapons……
