Why I think that crafting is broken

100 – 125 in weaponsmith cost you 1g 30s??
Serisouly you either got ripped off on the mats or crafted the wrong items.
All you have to do is at the start of a tier (When you get a new ore use) craft all your ore into ingots in one go this will level you roughly around 10 levels then you have another 3-5 levels left where crafting planks will still gain you exp.

After this you count your inscription mats and judge how much you can make in one go and decide what weapon parts to craft so that each one will be a new discovery. (usually only get 1 level even that if done over the ore and planks.)

Then you craft all your lower inscriptions and discover your items before moving on to the higher inscriptions as if you do it the reverse way you run the risk of outleveling your lowers and you lose that level of exp.

For me jumping from a new tier to masterwork has only taken me 2 builds. I craft one of every inscription Greatsword, and one of every inscription shield. Crafted shields are useless but they use less ore unless your making axes or hammers.

Doing it this way also gives you say 8 Greatswords upon completion so you chuck them in the mystic forge (or i do) and you get a green that is more appropriate to your level. Do it with masterwork (greens) and more often than not you will get a rare.

Its very simple if you think it through before you begin.

If you think its hard to get the lv 30-40 items god help you when you only need the lv 80 stuff.

Once you have the armour looks you want what's the point of PvP?

Well the game isnt really about individual players so i dont think individual leader boards will become a feature.

However im not fully sure how guild forts work in WvWvW. Im hoping that guild influence comes into it somehow and that the most influential guild can claim them.

i dont know if its coming but i would very much like to see some form of guild v guild feature added as at the moment guilds have very little to add to the game. And with it being Guild Wars its an ideal setting to make guilds a focal point.

On the world map if you zoom to the correct level then the levels will appear.

If you zoom to far out then the continent names will show up and not the area names.

about 75% zoom is what i find works.

And if your still stuck then the GW2 Wiki is what you need for info not the forums

Yeah this happened to me but who cares?
Everything that it asks you to do is stuff that you would do while playing anyway (except from the PVP kills if you dont partake)

You keep the rewards for the previous completed challenge and you have another opportunity to get it again.

If anything its a perk of them doing work on the system.

And it said in the state of play a couple of nights ago that they were reseting it because alot of players were stuck on the august challenge.

If you were like me and completed the challenge before the reset then yeah you will have to do it again but you dont loose the reward.

Current Balances issues in PvP:

This is a redundant thread imo, i live in PVP and i cant say the game is unbalanced,
And reading through what everyone has said its seems like every single class has one skill that “needs nerfing”.

Compared to other MMO’s this game is 100% balanced, (there may be one or 2 tweeks) but im happy with how it is and so is the majority of the PVP community. A class is not supposed to be able to solo there way through pvp. You have your zerg and then you have smaller raiding parties which if put together properly have members of each profession, therefore the balance is irrelevant.

GW2 sPvP and WvWvW require teamwork along with your own ability to play the game. Spend some time running around and trying different set ups and find one which you can use. The amount of warriors that i see running around with GS is amazing cuz they run in blast 100 blades and die instantly, where as the ones who can play the game tend to run with a shield build when in large skirmishes and then GS if 1 on 1.

If they start trying to get everything 100% balanced then they would end up just messing things up, NO MMO IS BALANCED and as it stands GW2 is one of the closest ive played.
