Be careful when selling too – it seems like it lists max sell now instead of min – so for high value items I got caught on the lot.

How You Would Ruin Things

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Time gating

  • Remove the dailies – they are a chore. Double or compensate with the monthly.
  • Remove the timer on charged quartz or make charged quartz tradable (in line with time gated ascended materials).
  • Remove the daily dungeon token restriction as account and restore to previous character limit.
  • Remove guild missions or rework.

Farming

  • Some people actually like farming. Have periodic events that allow for injection of t5/t6 mats. Examples – 1st Crown pavilion. Use and alternate when extensive down periods are expected from the living story.
  • Put world temples on timers that start at absolute, instead of relative to completion. Megaservers have warped that timing, making it excessively annoying to unlock traits on multiple alts.
  • Lower/remove diminishing returns.

Instancing

  • Start numbering overflows and being able to pick existing overflows to join.

Dungeons/Fractals

  • Revise rewards for higher end fractals.
  • Use some existing dungeons to make into fractals, and fractal portions into dungeons.

Account bound

  • Newly added recipes (nomad/zealot/celestial) to be traded or existing crafted armour be made account bound.

Living story

  • The usual – skip cutscenes. Achieves on first attempt.
  • Actually scrap all that. Remove LS from the game. Retrocon the lore with a dream sequence.

PvP

  • Delete Spvp from game. Link Spvp players to gw1.

Items

  • Make all items salvagable – notably karma/wvw rewards/adventurers mask. Adjust drops/items/costings prior.
  • Introduce new legendaries – kick the can down the road some.

WvW

  • Rewards for seasons – An individual and server based reward. The individual reward can be used as an additional token count or used as a gap filler for those on lower ranked servers.
  • New maps.
  • Alternate rewards for badges that have some monetary value – t5/t6 etc.
  • Outnumbered buff now lets you carry 100% more supply.
  • Don’t display enemy name on /invite in WvW/eotm

Adventurer's mantle unsalvageable

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: falchion.3652

falchion.3652

I am going to assume it is unintended as the components (scarf and goggles) are exotic and considered unsalvageable. When combined you get the mantle, but are unable to salvage a crafted exotic. I have never seen a crafted item you cannot salvage until now.

Bug or not?

Molten Lodestones

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: falchion.3652

falchion.3652

The market is stuffed to the rim with molten cores. For nearly a year scores of people have been running CoF 1 every day about 5 to 10 times a day. Other than that, molten cores drop from all kinds of bags (including WvW loot bags), fractals (the 2nd most popular dungeon), fire elementals all over Tyria, imps, chests, you name it.

If I compare this with the Molten facility, which only ran for one month, and which gave most people 1 sentinel’s intricate insignia (rare quality) per run, which took much longer than 1 CoF run; and seeing that the market is still stuffed with those insiginas, I think the molten cores in people’s banks should run in the millions.

Since they were so cheap, we can only assume they were made into major runes and the majority of them MF’d. I know I have.

Rune and Sigil Prices

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: falchion.3652

falchion.3652

These have been going up. Bloodlust is over 7 gp now, whereas a month ago it was 5.72 gp.

I see the prices rising across the board. In addition the Major runes/sigils are going up in price as well (presumably from MF conversion to superior).

Anyone else notice this? Any reasonable guesses as to the cause?

Core prices are rising – the cheapest (moltens) rising as well, on anticipation of the dungeon changes.

Additional AP acitivities

in Suggestions

Posted by: falchion.3652

falchion.3652

Most of the AP so far is time gated from dailies and or events. For new players or those that can only play in bursts (holiday periods etc) – it would be a pain. Personally I would like to see more stuff I could do in my own time in chunks – as well as stuff that should perhaps give AP where it doesn’t already.

Certain achieves like dungeon hobbyist/fractals/entropy have AP that gets capped but is an ongoing thing. Would like to see more of that – perhaps with max crafting/JP etc.

New achieves might be something along the lines of
-Crafting X lvl items (ie exotic)
-WvW level milestones (ie 1,5,10,20,etc)
-Items MF’d (could be biased on rarity/level)
-Condition counters/removal/skill interupters
-Max level type/race
-Extension of existing achievements – higher tier Golden/Survivor/No one left behind/Team work/All you can eat – etc.
-Best in slot (ie equip all slots blue/green/rare/exotic/ascended)

Modify existing achieves
-More than a star for 100%
-More than 5 points for a Legendary equipped

Add further suggestions to the posts – hopefully it gets some traction.

I’ve tried the same with exotics/rares and had a considerable gold sink. I’ve just walked away a few times, probably total losses on it near on 900g.

Time enforced progression and crafting

in Crafting

Posted by: falchion.3652

falchion.3652

Agree with OP.
Effort shouldn’t be reduced to having to do time gated activities.
If I play 1hr a day for a month, or the same 30hrs in a week, the effort is not treated the same.
What seems weird is more and more content rewards are shifted towards time limitations. I understand it for holidays, events – but for it to become the new game motto is terrible. Time limited grinds are the worst – let me play at my own pace.

The dungeon token system is a nice hybrid of both. Max tokens once per char per day but can be circumvented with alts or a penalty of DR for tokens if someone wishes to get their gear faster than a daily allotment.

Add pve achievements like the dailies and living world stuff and youll see the population increase – as well as general population numbers flowing into WvW. Be good to see a proportionate comparison…

Everything. Dual professions. More skills, skill selection. Skill capping. Long term pve titles for end game type goals besides legendaries (ie GWAMM or 50/50 hom).

Crystalline Dust was never in short supply

I suspect they upped the clover rate – I have noticed a few people talking about the rate of conversion being high (much more than 33%) and I went to convert some myself. I used the 10X recipe and ended up with 100 clovers from 14 attempts.

what happened?

Can’t see any logic in re-releasing old skins (gw1 generally didnt) – new skins generate more revenue.

A proper way to invest?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: falchion.3652

falchion.3652

If you invest (longer than a few days) you also have to take into account other people who are doing the same and how long the extra supply has been around… and how long you are willing to wait it out.

Armoured scales are a great example – bots were hammering the barracuda and it was down to 4-6s. I, like a lot of others were hoarding at those price levels. I sold most of mine around 10-12s thinking what a great job – A month or two later once what I will call investor supply had dried up, up they went again to reflect the real supply. (20s plus).

No idea but it could help explain prices and why over 500 combines in 2 days (for me) yielded nothing.

Guys, at 990g even the unluckiest of the unluckiest will have a precursor in the mystic forge.

It amazes me how many people don’t realize this. For 950 gold at current prices you can make 2500 rare greatswords. If you throw all of those into the forge you will get back somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 exotic greatswords that you can sell on the TP to offset the cost. If you lowball the value of those exotic greatswords at just over 2g, then you’ll make 400g back — that’s the minimum return. This would put the overall cost at 550g.

And if you put 2500 rare greatswords into the forge, you’d have to be insanely unlucky to not get a precursor. I got mine after 1100 rares, a friend of mine got his after 500, and I’ve heard other people quote numbers in the range of 1600.

375 tries for yours, sounds about right. Thanks for further affirming my belief to stop saving for TP prices and just craft forge fodder

Over a two day period I had 490 tries and got nothing. Combined 50 odd exotic 80s in addition (from the tries) out of frustration but still nothing. It was well past 1500 rares. Wouldn’t be too quick to rely on the MF.

I doubt people would pay 500g for the skins in a few months, but anything is possible I guess.
