Guild Wars 2

Can Anet pls pls pls pls pls change them AT LEAST so obtaining one skin unlocks every armor type??

@Maria: That’s what I also got and I was so disappointed xD
Oh well, gz for 8 Pages around a super-nichy topic. I wonder when Anet will notice.

Love that idea Maria that there might be still a hidden mechanic. I doubt it but it would feel… better than just RNG.

And guys… please do not listen to guys like Vacheron.9870 – he probably has one or two of invisible shoes on TP and is afraid prices will drop.

At least tribal armor is back.. You can do quite nice armor combinations with it. I think everyone who wanted the light version can try to achieve their look with the tribal shoes.
I’ve attached some inspiration for you
edit: attached my ele with tribal walkers

lol unlinked Drakkar Lake against Kodash and Aurora? I invite a dev to join Drakkar and play with us this week.

We’re close to our 9th month of having the chance to get a drop.
As some skins have been flipped on TP some people must have unlocked the skin in their wardrobes.

I would like to see your character’s outfit with your super special invisible boot-skin
Please take a screeny from your hero panel so we can see that you really got them and not just took off your shoes
I will start with my chronomancer:

true@tallybunny. Anet fixed a lot of the grindy things in the last patch but of course nobody thought about treasure mushrooms.
It’s a “devilish” circle:
- they are so rare that there are barely no drops
- prices rise into madness
- people don’t even bother to make offers on tp
- anet team thinks nobody is interested in this item

so we will probably never get a fix to it (i call this item-droprate “broken” because this is not the way achieving an item should work).

I don’t want to twist the knife into the wounds of you guys who still haven’t got any drop – I got one skin from my gf after farming the shrooms for 1 month. But since then not a single drop – and we want all of the skins so 1/6 unlocked…

It’s sad that nearly no players get the skins who really want to USE them in their wardrobe – most of the players use them to get rich – and that’s what attracts the traders, who are probably the ones who place the highest bids on TP. Stupid thing…

Yes you are right – we keep farming them every day even though we already got one drop. But as expected, supply on TP dropped into an abyss as most of the HoT players seem to have their (favorite?) collections finished.
I still call this armor skin by what it is: a troll by the devs!

Good morning everyone!
My girlfriend and me have been farming the mushrooms in VB / AB / TD for weeks now every day and my gf finally got a boot box from a treasure mushroom in Auric Basin. It was included in the daily bouncy chest.
Skin 1/3 unlocked!

I counted the sales from the trading post using gw2tp.
Slippers:
min: 7
max: 14

Boots:
min: 4
max: 12

Stompers:
min: 9
max: 19

Totals:
min: 20
max: 45

HoT released about 7 weeks ago = 42 days ~ 0-1 drop / day

What I suspected is shown in the screenshot: Sales via Direct Order get placed more expensive a few hours later….

Luckily it seems that the prices now are too high for most of the players. I hope they will drop below 1.000 gold…

Edit: Can people pls stop buying cheaper shoes and put them for 2k into the TP? This sucks and is unfair to any other players… This way prices will never drop >.<

Everybody’s talking about “pips” but I cannot figure out what this might be.
Can someone please explain it to me? Thank you

Liewec.2896:

agreed, the new effects are simply embarrassing…
Anet should be ashamed.

Absolutely. I don’t understand what they are doing right now with this game: Broken WvW, visual nerfs, ascended armor prices – and I even PAID them 50 bucks for HoT!!! I am asking myself why!!?!

@Ninski: Looks awesome <3
Unfortunately not available and for me there’s no real difference between a “not obtainable item” and an item that costs between 1500 and 2000 gold xDD

Ven Zehn.6573:

Thought more of these boxes would’ve dropped by now as more people got stealth detect.

Hoped that, too but no more drops… When I find the time I will collect some numbers to show how many of them got sold on TP.

Heavy boots on TP for the low price of 2.500 Gold. Pls Anet fix this madness.

Anet hates this armor. Otherwise they would have brought it back into the game.
It’s a thing of minutes to add the armor pieces to a vendor somewhere in Tyria.

Maybe it has to do something with the shoes… Bare feet are not supported by Anet devs – see https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Invisible-Shoes-What-the/first – you need 2000 Gold for shoes like this..

Gz for buying them.
I cannot afford 2.000 Gold for it – I don’t even have any complete ascended armors or legendary weapons. ..think most of the players cannot afford such amounts of gold (without selling all the stuff they have in their bank)…
I am just kittened off by this implementation and that the whole Anet team is ignoring this topic (accept Matthew a few weeks ago).

Invisible Mushroom King in Auric Basin doesn’t seem to work:
- cannot be killed
- if killed (don’t know how) he respawns instantly without dropping loot
- it says “explodes on death” but it doesn’t
- it doesn’t attack / behaves like a normal treasure mushroom

This mushroom king is weird. We were in a party of four people and tried to kill him but when it was at 0 HP we kept doing damage but it didn’t die… See my screenshot attached.
I reported this as a bug – or is his invulnerability intended?

Well… here are some random numbers…

If about 1000 players kill a mushroom every day (which is a very small number) and one single player of them gets a boot-box-drop (droprate 1:1000) and then 50% of them put them on TP would result in a new item every two days. But our supply rate is quite lower than this. With a droprate of 1:1000 a single player would have to farm mushrooms on average 333 days to get one single skin = 999 days to get all skins.

But I doubt that 1000 mushroom kills are enough for a day – probably there are much more kills of the mushrooms each day. Remember the TP covers EU and NA servers! So the droprate might be much lower – e.g. 1:2000 or even 1:5000 […] When it is such a low droprate a single player would have to farm mushrooms for years to get this skin. Even a droprate of 1:1000 disencourages me to go on with farming them everyday…

Sorry but even ghostly infusions drop more often. Every other item drops more often…

Patch Notes don’t show any adjustments to the droprates. Let’s keep on farming and see if anybody of us ever gets them.

Can Anet pls fix the droprate?

Reasons for this:
- Only 6 drops got sold alltogether via TP at an average price of 1500 which is 4500 if you wanted all armor types
- It’s been three weeks since launch. Many already have stopped killing mushrooms as they have all collections complete – means supply will not rise! 2 weeks * 6 items is nothing.
- Compared to other items there is no justification for this low droprate / price
- the treasure mushroom events are boring as kitten and bugged (just slay, do nothing more, pets, clones do nothing on them) – i am not interested in doing this for months!
- It encourages being afk in dragon stand while waiting until the meta event gets finished.
- The feature of hiding boots was requested since launch and this new droprate can only be actually meant to troll players who requested it.

Ven Zehn.6573:

The fact that we can toggle anything should make people happy, and if Anet never added these shoes, none of this QQ would be here.
It’s a rare drop off something you can only run into with a mastery, think of it instead as a extra “prize” you might be able to get.
Imagine if they were account bound….. which easily could have been done.

And like others have mentioned, prices will fluctuate, and they depend on the community demand. If people will pay 1.5k gold, then great, doesn’t mean you have to.

This comment can only be written by someone who isn’t interested in this item.
If it was a pre – fine. But it’s only an exotic skin for a SINGLE armor-weight piece.
When nightfury was about 3000 Gold everybody screamed and shouted “omfg too expensive bla” and now – when it’s a niche item – it’s absolutely fine. Hypocritical.

Sina.9208:

I’ve been doing this with ppl from the lfg (except the DS one there I use map chat) & nobody reported a drop so far. I killed one with 30 ppl this morning…. The 1500g thing seems to be really shady too.

This whole “I don’t remember exactly” thing is super funny too. Had I gotten one, we would already have a screenshot of me having one in the bouncy chest window ..

Hi again.
Im the Guy that put them for 1500 in the Tp.

First of all… yes i said that i dont know exactly where they drop ( i know exactly where i got it from)
I only said so because i wanted seem to be sold first.
If i told you where, you all would start farming and my chance of selling them would go down.

Sry for that.

But back to Topic as i postet before here:

They DROP from treasure Mushrooms ( I got them in dragonstand)
I still wonder why all you guys still speculate about it…
I mean its on Dulfy for some days now….

I really appreciate that you posted how you got it <3 Thank you for that.

I can understand that people are sceptic about the few answers they got just because the droprate is so bad it even hurts to believe this is real xD

They may drop from every treasure mushroom – we simply have to notice that the chance that someone gets the drop in DS is higher as there are whole zergs fighting the mushrooms.

For me I farm VB / AB / TD every day – and when I have the time also in DS. Add me ingame and we can farm them together.

But the devs decide how often they drop!

They will probably. There’s such a small amount of them available that only one rich player can decide to control the whole market.
The drop rates are ridiculous. 5 pieces got sold over the TP so far. I am farming in groups of four to five ppl every day and no one ever got one of them.

They should have left this out of the game when the ones who want to get it aren’t able to.

If people claim that the prices will drop – sorry but your argument is invalid because of the traders that will control the prices. Even if it goes down for 1/3 then it’s still at kittening 1000 gold and you have to buy EVERY SINGLE armor to unlock all skins! Nightfury is freaking cheaper than these shoes!!!!! This is kitten. Sorry Anet but this is kitten!

EDIT: medium boots already sold.

It has probably been implented by a dev who is suffering of serious podophobia (fear of feet). So instead of just adding the checkbox (which would lead to many players hiding shoes) he made it an ultra rare drop that will never be affordable by the majority of players. Stupid decision imho and there’s absolutely no justification for it.

;_; oh no… now i fear i will never get them.

DanAlcedo.3281:

this ?

http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4164/p77sx6z3_jpg.htm

omg. can you please tell us where/from what kind of creature you’ve got them? =)

The “buggy” is a guess because the item code of the box doesn’t work.
Your comment makes sense for me and I am skilling this mastery, too but it takes so freaking long xD In the last three days I made 1/2 level on rank III

Millions of players and no idea where to get them. The only thing we know is that it comes from a “buggy” (?) boot box which’s item code doesn’t work ingame… Did anybody get this boot box as loot yet?

MatthewMedina.5419:

They’re definitely not a glitch. I’ve been asking for a visibility toggle for the foot slot for a while, but to no avail. I think people finally got tired of my pestering and created this item for me to equip on all my characters so that they can be barefoot like me. :-)

Awesome! <3 This is so great. I’ve been waiting for this since release! (And actually thought it would never happen)

84 would be the right number for me pls

I would really love to see them back in the game. Please bring them back.
For the new players who don’t even know them see my attachement

I want to give you a short answer to this:

- If you are willing to pay 4000 Gold for an item’s appereance (which is unique and definitely beautiful) then it is worth it. – The stats are NOT worth it as they are equal to other legendaries.

- Getting a legendary in general IS worth the time as the two effects are awesome:
1. you get a cool skin with slightly better stats
OR
2. you sell the legendary after you crafted it and make even more money, craft another legendary and earn even more. after you did this a few times you don’t have to worry about money any more.

Thank you Karizee.

I really wonder what all those ppl do all day

Hey – i wonder if there has been any information about how many people are (currently) working on GW2.
I found this article on the wiki: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/ArenaNet But it only mentions the whole Anet team. Are all those ppl also responsible for GW2 or is it a smaller / larger team?

I would be happy about an answer to this not ingame-related question. – Maybe it’s even a secret…

When will we get our idles back? Two or three lines of code….
Please guys…
I am annoyed that your team doesn’t care about it and I am annoyed that there’s never any transparency about what you’re doing. Have you ever had a look on how Chris Roberts’ team informs about how “Star Citizen” is developed?? That’s how you should do it.

Haha, please add this as a fully customizable / combinable armor:
- Head: Bathing Cap
- Shoulders: a Lanyard with your guild tag on it
- Chest: Speedo or bikini top
- Trousers: … Speedo / bikini bottom
- Arms: Water wings
- Feet: A nice anklet or something
It would make me laugh xD

Agree that getting the achievement is quite easy this time. Still I am happy about it because I don’t have much time to play and now I still can get them when playing for one or two hours.

I agree that having charr as a playable race is one of the bigger failures, not because the race holds back armour design but because ArenaNet has consistently (and increasingly) failed to design armour that suits the aesthetics of a beast race that doesn’t use human physiology. ArenaNet implements charr armour as though they are humans with fur and animal heads instead of evolved beasts that still have beast-like features, physiology and posture.

This is the reason why I don’t play Charr. The whole class seems unfinished to me concerning many armor skins and the lore capability…

I cannot remember reading a statement of the devs about it but the thing you said is probably the same problem that I wanted to state out with this topic:
The devs don’t have the time (or money or both) and are under-staffed. So they cannot add new armors or make changes to the existing ones. It has to be horrible as they don’t even have the time to add the “lost armors” (= tribal armor etc) back into the game (see this: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Armor_set#Unobtainable_armor).

I wonder if this could change if they make an addon so they can invest more in human resources :P

I would definitely buy an addon if they finally added armors, fixed at least some of that clipping (there are even other ideas to “avoid” it with some tricks http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/21qmrx/toggle_option_to_hide_shoes/ but of course you cannot hide your whole armor xD), make new maps and new two new classes… The way it is now Gw2 seems to be a blind alley.

Most misleading title ever. Not s single new armour piece in sight anywhere.

That was on purpose :P
At least Anet does not need to look for new ideas – there are already plenty of them in gw1.

And to all who complain about the comparison between gw1 and 2 concerning clipping: it’s not silly because gw2 is the sequel, released several years later with much better hardware and we all learned alot of new things in this time. I guess that should also count for Anet.

To say this clearly: We all know that it is hard work to create and integrate more than one armor into the game. But new skins and stuff do have an effect for EVERY player. To bring in new armors is awesome for everyone ‘cause it doesn’t matter if you play pve, pvp or wvw…
The reason why they’re not doing this may be the gem shop:
Less armor-variety in free content = more sales in the gem shop. It’s business!

I just logged into my girlfriends Guild Wars 1 Account and it was like.. wow … Look at these armors
http://i.imgur.com/G0hjuwL.jpg (BB code doesn’t work, of course…)

…was just wondering why nothing of this was ported into the new game. Many of them are absolutely unique, stylish and unite traditional style with sexyness and lore capability; exactly what an MMO needs imho.
All I see in GW2 is heavy clipping (even after 2 yrs) and every 3 months a new semi-good armor in the gem shop.

WHYY ANET WHY???….

(if you like this, post your favorite armor of gw1)

Please enable salvaging for karma and wvw-items. It’s unfair that wvw-players get punished for playing and buying their armor with bagdes of honor as you get too less gold in WvW for “normal” exotic items.

Still have several superios runes of perplexity and superior sigills of bursting in my armor. I already had to destroy about 50 gold ;_;

AND this extractor from the game shop is way too expensive. Anyway – doesn’t Anet already earn money with the Black Lion salvaging kits?! It’s a shame!

I am really getting sick of this wvw queue.

Me and my friend log in to Gw2 at the same time and I join the queue of the Eternal Battlegrounds.
About 10 minutes later my friend joins the queue and may travel immediately! I am waiting for an hour now.
This happens every time!

What the kitten is going on here?

Get every player that is queued a kittening number and then count them down – one by one! Is that so complicated?! Gosh I cannot believe it. Gw2 released 1 year ago!

I have the same problem since march 2013.
I solved the problem at first but since the last update I get black screens randomly every few minutes.

@udiedhowyafeel.2485: Here’s what helped me earlier: I set down my graphics until GW2 was not more than an ugly piece of game. You should try this.
I have a Radeon 5770 which is definitely not the best gfxcard but Gw2 was always running fine on the highest level until the march update came…

_Seriously ANet? Is this what you intended? TC/SoS/Mag?

GW2 has something unique and amazing in WvW…and you guys are completely killing it. You need to fix this.

I’m so bored I don’t even know what to do in-game anymore._

Completely agree to this statement.

WVW ist not about winning but about having fun. Since Anet changed the matchup system we have to fight against a fully populated server every week. In the evening we have larger groups but we can hardly play without getting whiped instantly. I really have no problem with loosing matches but it’s just frustrating when you do not get a single reward for all the “work” you put in the game = You can be sure that every tower or fortress has been taken over by the enemy on the next day and you have to start by zero. Take a look at this pic – we are red and our other “weaker” enemy is green. We are getting dominated.
I am thinking about changing the server but I guess it is also no fun to play against a too weak enemy…
