After a solid session of killing things, I can wind up with a big ol’ stack of bags of something or other. rather than clicking the mouse 500 times (2 per bag in a stack of 250), it would be nice to have an option in the right click menu to just open the whole stack.
I suppose the same could go for salvaging stacks of metal scrap or a few other things like that.
Thanks!
Thanks. I am pretty sure I’ve received ori from blue and greens before, but maybe the price difference vs chance of getting rare material is not worth it?
I am wondering what exactly the “XX percent chance to salvage rarer material” means on salvaging kits. I would think this means you have a chance of salvaging a RARE crafting material, which according to the wiki is like lodestones and cores and stuff. Yet Ihave salvaged thousands and thousands of items and have never, one single time received something like that from salvaging (except ecto, but that’s only from yellows). So does this just mean that if an item can give me mithril or ori that I have a percent chance of getting ori? Because otherwise there’s no point in using anything but a crude salvaging kit on greens, blues, and whites.
Could someone clarify for me? Thanks!
Strifey,
Did you read the OP? I specifically said that I’m not defending this loot system. My original intent with this topic was a general request that people stop crying wolf over every little thing that isn’t exactly what they want. Of course it would be faster to have excellent players with just the right gear to run dungeons with, but I’ve had pugs before that literally could not make it through a dungeon. If there’s a player who chooses to wear MF in a dungeon because they care about nothing besides their loot, you probably wouldn’t want to run with them even if they had good armor, because they are selfish and will play that way.
While having a system that relies on MF probably has it’s flaws, I am arguing that it will not destroy dungeon running any more than crappy player do already. Which is what everyone seems to be yelling, which is what my OP is about.
Then don’t wear MF gear and don’t rely on randoms to carry you through a dungeon. Problem solved!
I am constantly healing, it’s AH gaurdian build. I am healing and booning my team with every critial that lands (roughly 1/3 of attacks). Also, I’m running away AFTER things go bad, not during.
However, I agree some way to see if someone if running MF gear would be nice, unless there is some way to exploit that.
Also, you guys are right, I could wear “better” gear do more dps, but my point is that MF doesn’t make it so you can’t do well in a dungeon. Actually my original point was that people cry wolf over every little thing hat doesn’t allow them to get handed a free legendary tomorrow, but o well.
Find random groups wasn’t a safe bet before either, it always took me 2 or 3X as long with randoms as it did with my guild.
I agree that people wearing MF gear can cause an issue, my point was that no one is being forced to. I’m have like no money, so I only have one armor set. Its explorer’s with pirate runes obviously plenty of MF is in place of “better” stats. I’ve gone through dungeons without even going down. When my whole group dies I have to just run away and wait for them. Its all in the build. You need a good build more than you need 30 extra points of vitality or whatever.
I’m just as annoying by bugs and bot and balance issues in the game as the next guy is, but people on these forums are just a bunch of whiners. About 30 minutes ago there was a post about a new dungeons loot system. Almost every single response was “great, now we are forced to wear MF?”
I’m not trying to say that the new dungeon reward system is perfect, what I’m saying is that you are not being forced to wear magic find gear. MF has always been a sacrafice! And you aren’t supposed to be able to to do a dungeon easily and get all the loot you want every time!
The reason I’m posting is this not simply to feel high and mighty, it’s to ask thecommunity to stop complaining about a lack of perfection, its just like the story of the boy who cried wolf. I’d rather have a game that’s fun to play and maybe it takes a few extra dungeon runs for me than someone else to get that cool sword, but at least it was fun!
Again, I have no idea if this new loot system will work or not, I’m just asking people to tone down the complaining and hyperboles.
does anyone know who to in contact with at Anet to ask about this? the people i tried never replied
maybe all the stuff to make a legendary?
Whats RMT? That would be awesome if Anet did some kind of charity drive! I really wish I could raffle it off, that way I think more people would donate, but thats technically illegal.
Anet! let me use your game for charity, please!
I would still need them to not ban me, haha.
I actually had a much more elaborate idea, but I would need full Anet cooperation and I couldn’t get a response.
This was the best place i saw to ask this question.
I need to know a couple of things:
1) Are legendary weapons account/soulbound?
2) Will ANet allow this if it is for charity?
I had an idea I would love to go through with about auctioning off a legendary weapon to raise money for a charity. I don’t have one yet (not even close really) but I’m working towards it. And since I know things like selling gold for real money is a bannable offense, I’m guessing selling an item would be the same (even though games are starting to SET UP systems for this!)
I guess the other issue, if this actually is possible in the first place, is how to get someone to trust that the money is going to charity. I don’t know, so if anyone knows of a way short of setting up a private foundation, I would like to know!
Please leave your trolling at home, I’m trying to do some good here, so don’t waste my time if it’s not helpful.
How about having to build/earn it like a legendary weapon? Besides being very difficult to acquire, even if you have tons of money, you would have to sacrifice one of you Gifts of Exploration and therefore a real legendary weapon; showing that you are serious about WvW and not just someone who got lucky and found a precursor and was able to buy a commander title.
That must be iOS only? Cause I can’t find it on adroid. The in game chat thing would also be great.
If your response is going to be “I don’t want them wasting time on a stupid app” please don’t waste my time by posting that.
But at the very last I would really appreciate a forum and/or wiki app, because using this website on my phone is miserable and every computer at work blocks it. Also, I’m not sure about iOS but the android apps seem pretty useless and minimal.
However, if Anet wanted to really go above and beyond, I think a trading post app could be done. Something where you can access you bank, inventory, and the BLTP and buy and sell stuff. Basically the kind of thing i’d rather not do too much of during the limited amount of time I have to actually sit down and play the game.
I found one that fits my needs very well. Thanks for the responses though guys.
I’m posting this because I’ve been trying to look through guild listings and when I finally find a guild or 2 that looks good, no one replies.
Basically I’m looking for a guild with maybe a dozen or so people online most of the time. I’m currently in Furgeson’s Crossing but I’ll switch if you are on an American server that isn’t always full (like blackgate). I just finished my personal story with my guardian so I’m level 80 with both letters of commendation to give some instant influence.
My goals in the game:
Get into WvW more. I’ve played a little and it’s fun, but pretty hard without a guild to play with. I’d also like to 100% the world map, and for a higher level areas it’s nice to have a group to run around with. Basically everything else too, but those 2 are my current priorities.
I am married and have a job and a house, so sometimes I’m on several hours a day, sometimes i go a day or 3 without playing. Also, I currently don’t have a mic for Ventrillo or similar programs, but I don’t talk a lot anyway unless I need to, I usually just listen. But I can get one if it necessary.
So, if there’s in guild that want a laid back yet skilled player, please let me know.
I’m not sure how many players are in each server but it seems like few enough where you could have persistent housing per server (idk if that’s possible or not). So not all 3 million players would have to divide up the same world? but even if that’s not possible, you could have “premium housing” in the persistent world. Obviously this would be reserved for the wealthy players (in-game) and would require keeping up appearances. I’m sure a lot of things can be done with this.
Why is maintenance always at midnight PST? can’t we change it up a bit?
I thought they were persistent because they said they would be in previews and interviews before the game came out.
And not every single event has to be permanent, but it would be cool if some were.
I was always under the impression that the dynamic events would alter the game depending on the outcome. As in, if Sons of Svanir destroy a small village in an event because people don’t stop them, the village would be gone or something along those lines. All I have seen so far is that it triggers another event to repair the town.
I really hope that Anet didn’t decide that having “random” event actually effect the game was too difficult or complex and didn’t implement it, because I think that’s something that would make the game truly great. If you stop playing for a week you could come back to a different world.
Of course, they may just be making sure they have the events working properly, which is also a good idea.
Does anyone know if there are plans to make DEs truly effect Tyria?
I don’t know if this is a bug or if there’s something special you have to do to get it, but I’ve spent hours and hours running around near Vendrake’s Homestead Waypoint in Wayfarer Foothills where there is supposed to be a renown task (and the last thing I need to complete the area). I’ve tried talking to every character I see and doing all the events and tasks, but nothing makes the task appear. Is this a glitch or do you have to do something special? Thanks!
I think they shouldn’t be the exact same set of attachments every day. If they were varied it would make more sense to give points everyday
