Guild Wars 2

Really? Getting 400 to all 8 craftings will get me lvl 80? Are you sure? I though anet nerfed it?

So i was thinking of making a necro to maximize my profit because of the smart loot changes. My guardians profit decreased by 40%.

If i level all my crafting discipline to lvl 400. How much level will I gain?

An interesting survey. Too bad anet do not listen to their players and just go ahead and change what they think is good and do not care if it will benefit the players or not.

No. Anet doesnt care. A lot of people gave up already. They moved on to other games. New changes sucks. They are pretty much tricking newbies via silver fed. I mean why trick newbies to losing their gold?!

Me? Im one of the loyal fans thats why im still playing. Still aiming for my legendaries ;D

But yeah dont expect anet to change anything. They never will unless it will make the game worse

For gold. Cs ive been getting 30-40gold / hour by opening heavy bags / champ bags and salvaging rares and selling t5/t6 mats and combining greens.

But lately all ive been getting are blue equipments for salvaging and very few moldy bags. Not sure if im having a badluck streak for 3 days already or they nerfed it.

And since the implementation of acct wide commander system, there are a lot of commanders in cs and all of them want different events so it drastically slowed down because the events are being on cooldown all at the same time. (Commanders in cs are jerks they all want people to follow them and not the other commanders instead of working together.)

Anyway are there any alternatives for farming gold? Fgs is pretty slow for me 20gold per hour.

The reason why it is crazy low and will probably stay even if the cost of ticket goes up to 5 each is because before sept9 patch, everyone speculated that chaos skins will rise up so everyone hoarded it. It is the reason why before the patch, the price went up from 80 to 120gold. The low priced ones were all bought by the speculators.

After that patch, anet increased the drop rate of tickets and keyfarmers who saved their keys and used it after the patch got a lot of ticketd which added to the market.

So now those people who hoarded decided they need to get rid of their skins asap because they speculated it will not inflate like the other skins because of the increased drop rate of ticket after patch.

Now the market is being flooded with low priced chaos skin weapons because of these 2 happenings.

Weird. Evrytime i farm there, people finish it. I think it is dumb to let it fail since you get more champ bags finishing the entire thing rather than the first part.

If first part fails and resets in 5mins, finishing the entire run with the reset time of 10mins is much more champbags/hour.

With the implementation of account wide commander system. Cursed shore is in chaos. Lots of idiot commanders who wants to do things their own way instead of having one peaceful rotation.

I also noticed they increased the drop rate of blue items and decrease the rate of greens. And also decreased the drop rate of heavy moldy bags (from 350 / hour ) im now only getting 100-150. Big nerf.

I was thinking if i should go back to fgs champ train or is there a better place for farming?

(I dont like playing in TP)

It caters to newbies. Apparently anet wants to cater to those newbies because adding 4 more skills per weapons is very overwhelming to grasp. :P

So yea some likes it some dont. Even though majority didnt like it, on anet’s viewpoint newbies like it and they can milk more gems from those newbies than veterans

Imo those who wants either cant handle 5skills at once or fanboys because if youre a veteran i think you will feel that the new leveling system is very very stupid. Spammimg auto attack for the first few levels.

Lol. Anet will never roll back. They do not care what vet players think.

He was saying that the nerf of warriors isnt that bad because he tested it on a controlled environment lololol.

One man’s opinion against most warriors who has more playtime than op.

Lol. Who would spam all medis at once just to heal themselves xD im do not main a guardian but ive encountered a lot of medi builds imo the heal is fine since it is very easy to counter.

Ive never seen anyone blow all their cooldowns just to heal themselves though. I dont think anyone is dumb enough to do that.

I main warrior in pve but as i have said they are underpowered in pvp aside from the hambow combo.

In wvw, warriors cant outrun my thief we have steal which teles us to the target, shadow step, we can pull them, we have number 2 of dagger which makes us extremely mobile. My rank in wvw is low atm maybe i never encountered good warriors as im only sitting on 450+. I doubt any good warriors will use gs in wvw anyway.

It is clearly learn to play because as a thief in 1v1 nobody can outrun me even eles with their teleport and ride the lightning.

I encountered a few warriors who uses sword number2 + gs skills in running away, they can move distance so fast but still not a problem as a thief. Maybe on other classes.

But gs alone? I dont think so.

Classes are there for variety but when it comes to tankiness / mobility / damage output anet wants it to be equal. Although each classes have different mechanics in playing them.

I thought it was confirmed that they will nerf it? Anet’s yearly income is already declining they need to milk out everything they can from players who are blinding loyal to them.

Getting to end game in this game is easy so it wouldnt be a problem. You can be 80 in less than a week if you choose to.

Azure Prower.8701:

As a thief (meant to be the most mobile class in the game), even if I used every thing in my ars (lol butts) enal. I still cannot catch these types of warriors. That’s if I wanted to put my thief at a severe disadvantage too.

Cripple, Chill, Immobilize, Fear, Daze, Knockdown?

I guess you haven’t heard of the warrior traits and food that renders all these abilities useless?

I say give warriors the elementalist treatment (like they did to ride the lightning). If the warrior movement skills do not hit a target: put those skills on a longer cool down. Problem solved.

A thief who cant chase a warrior? Clearly learn to play issue. Thieves are the best catchers in game.

If you want guest in SoS and i will show you how to play a thief properly. You have so many gap closers no class can outrun you.

I main thief. Nothing can outrun me and i outrun everyone jusr by spamming 2 on dagger

That is why they are making changes. Anets goal is that each class have the same burst/tank/mobile potential as other classes. They felt rangers lack burst compared to other classes so they are changing it.

Classes in gw2 are mostly preference. Each class can be mobile / tanky / bursty. Only currently anet is still balancing them so you might see others are lacking compared to others.

Seriously. Read before buying. During the release they already said this.

This is the beauty of gw2 no specifics. They already know they will mess up so they dont give specifics to their customers to cushion the blow

This game is so fun. Everything is a surprise

It will defeat the purpose of getting rid of the trinity of this game.

You guys really need to learn how to read and understand what youre reading before making a purchase.

Anet’s selling point is the abolishment of the trinity meaning all classes can play how they want to play.

Now you guys want to isolate warriors as the heavy armor wearing tanky class? Try to think once in a while guys.

Tbh i dont see much people crying about warriors. They are pretty much in a bad place when it comes to pvp right now compared to other classes. If you are crying about warriors then clearly you will cry about every class you will encounter.

Seriously stop posting like anet cares. Youre just clogging the forums. You already bought the game so anet doesnt care now if you quit or not.

This was the mechanics during launch. Unfortunately arena net’s profit generation is not looking good at the present. So they have to cut down the stones and make it rarer so people have to use gemstore.

Luckily those veterans who have the stones during launch have all their trans stones converted so only the new players are suffering from this.

I can chase warriors fine. Its a L2P issue. You have to time your CC’s

That is why you have an option to turn them off. You cant see or the other players’ effects. I understand not all players have good pc who can handle glowing effects. And not everyone likes cool effects on characters and rather play a normal dull one.

That is why for a compromise, anet can make an option that enables/disables these to your client.

Tbh title really doesnt have an impact atm to players. Giving it cosmetics might make it more worth it to put your effort into

The only problem i see on this is that anet will run out of ideas on the effects since there are tons of titles out there.

Also another major problem is that anet will have to make the effects very minor making it barely noticeable. Since if they make the effects bright or very noticeable, it might destroy the whole purpose of making legendaries.

I vote for this! Awesome idea! Anet make this happen!

Makes getting title worth it but does not affect gameplay

and +5% movespeed per 1k achievement points

No thanks. I like using my title and i dont want to be forced to stay on a title for its effect.

Thank you so much! Now i know not to buy any of them xD i thought they are nice since the prices of some of these are more than 20gold.

Thank you for giving an effort in letting me see the sprites of tonics

if it isnt too much hassle i would like to see,

im a human female warrior so i would like to see it on the same char female human

khakhi tonic
ornate tonic
silk brocade tonic
striped silk tonic
country lace tonic
cherry blossom tonic

:) thank you so much sir

Is there a site where i can view how each of the endless clothing will look like on both female and male human characters?

Or somewhere in game where i can preview them? Tried googling but something shows up but not sure if it is the correct image

Erich.1783:

I find it faster to just go to my home BL in WvW to get to my chest for stored gear than running into DR.

I will try it later thanks for the tip!

Basically what anet did is pretty brilliant in a businessman’s perspective.

When they introduced the game, everything in cash shop can be obtained in game without forcing us to use gems.

Dyes are available from mobs, boosters are obtained from rewards, black lion keys are everywhere and transmutation stones arw abundant, new weapon skins are obtained via crafting or dungeons.

However as the game ages, they became greedier and removed everything to force people into using gems to purchase these items.

Its a good strategy to let the players taste the food first before removing it off the menu to make them crave for it.

Either that is their plan the whole time or they suddenly lost their budget and resorted to this method to milk the players and fund the game.

Alright thank you guys yep i know its not a neccssity ki just to make my run a lil bit faster, guess nobody really knows and just have to wait

Wow you guys are unlucky xD i do world bosses and farm cs / fgs everyday and i get 3-5 a week. Weird

Well if you think youre getting its worth then good for you! Hahaha

Majority of us still thinks its a rip off though. You get 250/stack which will last you for a week (im farming cs 6hours a day only) and can always get 2-5 mystic stones per week on world bosses. So 10copper / rare salvage vs 1 silver / rare salvage ;D

Yep silver fed is super worth it i dont need 90coppers anyway

Im planning to make my acct digital deluxe so i can get golem banker and can keyfarm faster, but rumors are spreading its getting nerfed.

I however do not see any official announcement from anet.

None. I wanted more too but anet is super busy changing things that do not need changing

Olvendred.3027:

Inequality of input.

But that already exists in the system, and not just talking about lucky RNG drops. People who farm longer (or smarter) or who do TP work to buy and flip are already making things lopsided (though unclear as to the extent of it). The game is already stacked for/against some people, and some classes already have an easier/harder time doing the farming for gold.

Heck, in a way the people who ground up their Luck also are stacking the RNG in their favor. It may be minor but we might as well ferret out the inequalities and start sharpening pitchforks.

Sure they try to have an advantage by boosting their luck or playing in TP but these things can be done by almost everyone as long as you know what you are doing. It doesnt restrict you into playing one class over the other. It is fair because you are not being restricted from doing the same thing.

Smart loot however, gives advantage to light armor classes. It doesnt do any good to medium at heavy armor but boosts light armor classes’ gold income.

You may say that the difference small, which is i doubt because of the way they hyped it and wasted resources on it, it is still clear that anet gave light armor classes higher chances on getting light armors. So for those who wants efficient farming, they dont really have a choice but to switch to light armor classes

Pvp with gears are just for people who do not have the skills to deal with other people om equal footing. It makes unskilled win against others. Go back to wow if you want that kind of gameplay.

It is better here because it requires skills and active dodging.

Builds need diversity though.

Minis are a luxury item. It makes no sense if supply gets higher than demand. This is for those people who literally has everything and have nothing to spend on anymore.

So yeah expect the price to go up

Lol what a wise decision my friend. Im glad youre loving being a victim of anet’s greediness have fun melting your gold reserves

Copper does the same if youre shallow and all you care is the voice haha!

But thanks for the laugh though!

Plus make the champ spawn longer so zerg are forced to do other events like coil event

Fact2: cloth can only be obtained by salvaging light armors

Incorrect.

Ok you can get them from bags as well but it requires rng. Unlike salvaging where you can get it constantly.

My point still stands that light armor will be the only class that gets the benefit of this change not only that it will overshadow other classes’ farming income.

Not to mention ores can be mined by every class as well.

It does. This thread alone already have so mamy great ideas coming from players and ive seen countless thread that all have good ideas. They choose to ignore it (if its true that thay are really reading these topics).

No im not forcing you to believe me as i myself do not have concrete proofs.

Im just stating my assumptions based on the evidence being shown which is making changes to things that do not need changes. And those that do remains untouched.

I know it is not that easy to fix things. But why spend resources on making changes that are not needed at all rather than putting those resources into better use which actually benefits the game. If they are playing they can easily see these stuffs.

Warrior change for example. Nobody is crying about gs warriors in pvp yet they nerfed it while not changing hammerbow which is the one needed tweaking.

Smart loot. I know you guys already heard enough of this.

Mesmer reworks sure the buff in scepter is good. But it still doesnt make them any better in pve.

New leveling experience. Gw2 said so themselves that the game starts at 80. Thats why they make it easy to reach 80. We dont need new leveling experience. We need more things to make us stay in game when were 80.

Crafted precursors is for the lazy! Get your precursor like the rest of those who have legendaries. Farm hard!!! Or get a job!

Obtena.7952:

How much you earn farming is not relevant. What is relevant is how much extra cloth is introduced into the game due to this change.

Light armors have a small advantage for increased cloth salvage from armors. Any increase in income is a short term advantage until the market equalizes because of increased volume of cloth. Prices will adjust as volume increases. Increased volumes don’t tend to make mats hold their values.

Ofcourse it does. Light armors largely affect my income potential and gimping my char from it will affect my gameplay.

Are you playing the game? Because if you do, you will know cloth are the most expensive stuff in game and will always be.

Fact1: every class needs cloth to craft their gears.
Fact2: cloth can only be obtained by salvaging light armors
Fact3: light armor users need a lot of cloths for their armor

Regardless of supply and demand, based on these 3 facts the price will always be cloth>ores>leather.

It will never change the fact that cloths will always be in demand regardless of what happens to other classes.

Even if you supply thousands of cloths in the market people will still demand it because everytime they craft an ascended armor they will be need some cloth.

It will surely affect the income of the two other classes if they kitten them from light armors.

Or since were not sure,

They could also just increase the drop of profession loot while maintainimg the drop rate of others. In thid scenario, light armor users still have the advantage over medium and heavy.

I dont know if i can make that more simplier.

killcannon.2576:

Keeping veteran players is not and never will be a priority in b2p or f2p games. New players are much more likely to invest money in Gems for new character slots, bag space, and convenience items. Vets don’t make the company money.

It’s always about the cash. The rest is smoke, mirrors, and empty words.

Im sure anet knows that vet players are just as impt as their advertisings. Never underestimate word of mouth. If vets are happy they stay in game, they promote it and in return anet will get some new players.

Blk farm is not an exploit. Anet staff said so themselves. The other points i have to agree with you. It is repetitive and boring.

People who do key runs are those who got bored zerging or farming gold so they see at as a change of pace. And the thrill of getting tandom items from chest feels nice.

But yeah i support the petition for lowering prices of keys.
