She says kryta instead of DR simply because she thinks that they are the bastion of the world. Typical political speech. I can hardly believe that is a cue to anything.

Maximum TP sale listings

It seriously allow you to list 900 thousand stuff? I was thinking there was going to be some kind of restriction after 1 thousand stacks or something. There is absolutely nothing preventing someone to speculate in this manner? I don’t understand how supply of some items are so low if that’s possible.

Maximum TP sale listings

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ValeN.3129

ValeN.3129

Researched this around with no clear answer. So, do anyone know how many sale listings can you have on the TP? Is there a maximum or will it bug out at some point? How much is too much? I’d like to do some experimental stuff but don’t want my TP to become unusable…

Thank you for making this the worst experience i’ve had in a game in a long time. I would like, try more. But after playing with big latency and my tendinitis hitting up after 30 minutes trying to kill this with a melee guardian. I give up. Nice scamming me for 200 gems in order to buy this piece of trash content.

1 month and this hasn’t been fixed? Guess a reminder is in order.

It has gone back to full health after drpping it to 5% despite my best efforts trying to circumvent your buggy fight.

Precursor Inflation?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: ValeN.3129

ValeN.3129

I got a Rodgort’s Flame as a drop over the weekend, and the price didn’t go up by 200 Gold. Where’s the inflation for my item???

Technically Rodgort’s is also up 30% which is same percentage as with Legend and Dusk. Your problem is it’s 30% on 60g.

But it’s not 800+ Gold like the others. That’s not fair.

This is a discussion of inflation, not fairness — sorry u didn’t win the RNG lottery.

What an inconvenient truth to throw around. Guess he should see it coming.

Are black lion keys too expensive?

ValeN.3129

Meh, there’s no need to throw a bunch of concepts on him.

Suffice to say that the consensus is that BLC returns, in case you got the means to buy them through playing the game, could be better as you can get stuff with 5x market value for the same price of a few keys.

Precisely, if the richer players in GW2 have done nothing wrong, I don’t see why they should be punished. They worked hard for their gold and deserve to keep them.

MMOBA gameplay idea

Suggestion - Living Story Season meta reward?

in Living World

Posted by: ValeN.3129

ValeN.3129

Don’t agree. People are already upset they miss some content, imagine if there was some major reward for participating in all of them. The backlash would be huge. Not to say that any meta reward that isnt account bound becomes meaningless once everyone gets it, potentially economy breaking as well.

I disagree. Roleplaying is something you can choose to do yourself. What matters in what degree the game facilitates the roleplaying. I think the last couple of LS updates have done their best to improve on that. For example, when the player, Kasmeer and Jory investigate the evidence. Or when we got to vote on LA’s new leader in cutthroat politics (a lot of players got into the spirit of that). And the battle for Lion’s Arch has stirred all sorts of roleplayers, especially on my own server, Aurora Glade.

I like your point. Cutthroat really was something to take in consideration when it comes to putting the players in charge, only if just an illusion of it.

But when you try to be many things inside something bigger, the small things get overshadowed. Still they shone a little bit here and there, all the while being true to its core. A magazine in the world of reading, it is but a humble tale when built by hundreds of people. to make a comparison, anet didn’t get even close to making what twich plays pokemon did. Still for the scope of it… their merits are honorable.
I’ve seen people arguing about characters and reasoning their beliefs, making jokes about their intent. That for me, among other things, is being part of the roleplay, as you’ve pointed out.

I don’t see how you disagree with me but to build on certain points. And don’t see me as a blind lover. I can see how much more it could be but only if i could explain how.

An RPG is about personal choice, in this LS we had none, other than to participate or not. There were no dialogue choices with consequences or any roleplay choices at all. Our character doesn’t even talk with the other characters in the story (as in voiced dialogue). There is story but it is linear and occurs regardless of us as a player. That is by definition removing rpg from mmo, the only role we are playing in the living story is the mechanical role of our class build.

I understand where yo’re coming from and won’t deny it. As much as the notion of an RPG differs from person to person. The title was also more of a headline than a translation of what the post was about too haha

Despite all of the shortcomings about a MMO there were many memorable moments throughout the LS, i truly enjoyed it as a whole. I’d say you guys succesfully mixed a TV series feel with an RPG all the while getting better and better at delivering fun gaming content. I’ll go through a couple of feedback factors here.

Gameplay wise i’ve had a lot of fun in many of the releases, specially the latest ones. The way the objectives split the maps in just the sweet number to achieve equilibrium between making everyone feel like they contribute and even better for people who do not have top of the line computer specs. This is the highlight for me, and since the main focus is, obviously, the gaming part, this is a huge success.

Story wise, well. There are a lot of clichés and there is only so much you can do. The tyria wide consequences part of the LS still is kind of lacking. Still, it was better than what any multiplayer game did before. I’d say Anet followed the ragnarok game formula here. The highlight of the story for me is Scarlet, not talking about making a great character but in it’s own way she sparked the interest, for good or bad, of a great deal of the community. That is what makes a GREAT villain, i’m impressed. And talk about a last boss fight, i’m breathless.

Content wise, it went spiraling after Anet stopped introducing new game mechanics after Liadri i think, even though it was an announced change. Anet wanted to reward players in different forms in the beggining of the LS. However some types of players were left in the cold after it. There is a continued effort to link time spent doing boring things with having in-game money to supplement that and get rewards, if not to give players a choice of how to acquire things at least go back to having something for one or the other. Hopefully the content patch that is coming will make things better, it’s about time to implement some new elites (yes, gw1 spoiled me) if not new professions entirely.

All in all, thanks for the good game you’ve put out and how innovative it is.

P.S. Don’t forget about your fans here in Brazil!

Why aren't fractal weapons ascended now?

.. Fractal weapons are now skins.. skins cant be ascended.

Ahh of course… big mistake of mine

Still, there should be recipes for those who want to upgrade, fractals was the beggining of the ascended stuff and they are unrewarding as it is.

What is your personal reward level?

Doesn’t matter if you do 15 or 80, if your personal reward is level 12 you can only reap rewards from the first and second tier, for example.

COF gives 1.2 gold; FOTM lv. 31 gives 1.3?

in Fractured

Posted by: ValeN.3129

ValeN.3129

But if fractal skins and ascended items dropped more frequently, they would no longer be prestigious. The content would also be short-lasting because everyone would get their skins and ascended items quickly.

That’s why equity in gold rewards is good. It’s a universal currency that gives content long-term relevance.

The ideal strategy would be to make all content — champion farming, dungeons, fractals, world bosses and everything else — equal in gold but drop unique skins. That way people can do whatever they want and work toward a universal goal, such as a legendary, while getting other skins.

It’s obviously not going to happen overnight, but it’s what ArenaNet should aim for.

Fully endorse this post. It isfair and really easy to do given the amount of data anet has.

More AR needed than before

ValeN.3129

hi, i am a ranger with full ptv at every gear, legendary and ascended trinket(trinkets are not full ptv, but have defensive setting), and 0 agony resistance.
maybe 11/26, i fought the final boss (one huge robot remains) in level 11 or 12.

in the very beginning of fight, i use nature spirit, protect me, signet of wild(in passive state), troll unguent immediately.

i always die maybe in 30 secs with no exception. maybe 5 to 6 experiments are tested.

so i’ll guess it’s really need ar now.

The problem is that you don’t have Healing Power (so no sustained regen). I have Cleric gear, and at lvl 12 fractal I have never been downed for lack of AR.

Thing is, you can have mitigation on your normal equipment attribute all you want. Infusion slots will never give you dps and mitigate much better.

Thanks, it is nice to know that people suffered the same before.

I have an ongoing ticket as well, they are having me wait for developer support.

I know reimbursing is supposed to be addressed by support ticket only but did you get your stuff back in the end? I was pretty angry at the amount of time it is taking.

I figure they might refund the itens that weren’t processed or got stuck but i lost a LOT by taking out buying orders and it all going down the drain. I had not noticed it was bugged until then.

So i have made a ticket 14 days ago about this matter. It seems it is an unknown bug so i thought i might post it here as well.

Basically the symptoms are the same since august 7th:

I am able order buy and sell listings.
Anything bought or sold does not go to the pick up tab.
Any removed listings do not update itens or currency in the pick up tab.

I have ran gw2 in repair mode, deleted local.dat and updated root certificates. Nothing changed.

Coming from someone you can call a power trader, and the trading post being the biggest and funnest part of the game for me. I am kind of hopeless as i see all my stuff going down the drain.

Part of my digital deluxe purchase on the gem store has not worked, which has happened to many other users as well. I am the guild leader and the guild was created on the stormbluff isle server, where i am since launch day.

The guild, Warden Lodge (WARD), has not had any problems besides influence being lost all over the place. It rarely gives me influence for logging on. And yes, i represent it often.

Wanted to know how long people have waited for an answer on this issue? My ticket has not been answered in 6 days.

I here am to contribute with the mob of angry traders. Black Lion Co. has robbed me GOOD!

When they were testing the trading post nearly a week ago, this same problem occurred to me as well. I clicked ‘buy’ too many times because nothing was happening. All my money was drained and no items were delivered.

A day later, all my items were delivered for as many times as I clicked ‘buy’. So this problem has occurred before and the items bought were eventually delivered or refunded. Unfortunately, many of you probably bought way more than you intended.

Hopefully this may quell some fears.

Certainly hope so. Could be better though.
