Guild Wars 2

It’s okay when you earn money in $ or €. I don’t, so multiply that euro/dollars price by 4 or 5 – that’s the price in my country.
And yeah, I’ll wait for HoT to become cheaper. I surely won’t pay second time same price as GW2 core – just for some new stuff..

… and I’m like “wow, new expansion?”. Then I’ve looked at price. Well, my very first thought was “why isn’t it free/cheaper” – because I have preordered GW2 at it’s first days, played closed beta etc. Okay, I’ve read ANets announcements that you can refund game. Since that expansion is very expensive in my country, I’m not thinking about buying it now. But can I get refund for game, and RE-BUY GW2 with expansion? Because, excuse me, I haven’t understood those announcements regarding refunds – how much $$ you gain back, when you preordered GW2 before it was playable for everyone?

and yep, why haven’t I waited those long years for Heart of Thorns to come… I’d not have to pay double for it

I haven’t tried that dungeon yet, but I am maybe going to try…

Anyway, here is one thing to say:
Costs of X items (named exotics, gifts, exotic armors) are… disproportionate to amount of gold you can obtain in a day. Let’s say you need 250 ectos for X item. 250 ecto costs 60g. If you are so pro or UBER LUCKY, you can obtain 250 ectos in maybe 30 days or a bit less… if you could get AT LEAST 2g for a day, which is impossible for me. I’d have to make 5 alts, lvl them to 80 and farm oris/ancient saplings on each of them, but I’d die sooner or later from that boredom. In GW1 here were MUCH MORE ways to obtain gold, and they weren’t boring, were they?

Yup, I think that I left GW2, cuz…

here are no ways to obtain money. Stupid reason is stupid, but it really annoys me that, you can’t obtain money, because:
-DR on farming, the more you farm, the less items you get.
-DR on dungeons, the more dungs you do, the less silver (?) you get.
-DR on events, so you get worse reward if you farm them,
-DR on million more things,
-15% tax in the TP,
-bad scaled teleporting costs: in low lvls teleportation costs were OK, but on lvl 80 they are a bit… too high.

I want to have full exotic set, exotic named weapon worth few hundreds of gold and at least 1 max slots bag. It really saddens me that you could earn high amount of “gold” in GW1 (it was hard job, yes) and ANet ruined it all by adding DR to EVERYTHING.

Yes, I was farming ores/trees, cuz they don’t have DR (so far). And I was playing TP, but those orders take soooo much time, that I can barely earn 1g in one day.

I might play that game, just for pvp, maybe few times in a month.

And yes, gold is as important for me as other things in that game (like dungeons, pvp… gold gives me fun, too [strange?]).

Let’s look back to GW1: people saw you with obsidian armor or rare dhuum, or maybe crystalline weapon? So they surely thought: “he has obsi armor! He had to farm for it very, very long. It was hard job, but he managed to do it”.

Obtaining “rare items” in GW1 was hard thing, but in GW2 it is 1000000000000% harder. In GW1 if you wanted to farm one thing, let’s say [weapon] Froggy, you could obtain it in 1st or 100th run. In GW2 if weapons would drop from mobs, too (I mean something like named weapons), you had to do 1000 more runs, because DR lowers chance to obtain item you want. For example, that weapon [in GW2] has 2% chance to drop. After few runs it’s chance lowers to 1% (well, maybe not so much, but it lowers, anyway).

So well, that lag was horrible and my fps was under zero, so I left the game just few mins after the event started. Here was mob, which was invulnerable, but fps was soo low that I didn’t see him. But nvm, what did that event gave? Have I missed something epic? Maybe were here some items as rewards for participating? Or just “normal” event reward: karma+few silver?

Yes, mesmerz will have the fewest changes. To make mesmers WORSE, I bet. Next phantasm nerfs, portal nerf and other things to nerf. No boosts.

Zaxares.5419:

I made the same mistake as the OP, but there was a workaround for it:

1. Create a new Mesmer with the mask that you want. (Item 1)
2. Buy a cheap white/blue mask off the TP (Item 2).
3. Transmute the Mesmer mask onto the white/blue mask to create Item 3. (Item 3 will say that it’s Soulbound, but don’t worry about that.)
4. Put Item 3 into your bank and pick it up on your main Mesmer. (Normally you shouldn’t be able to retrieve Soulbound items from other characters, but for some reason you can retrieve this item.)
5. Wear Item 3. (Or to be safe, transmute Item 3 to your main’s headgear, making Item 4.)

This was the workaround that worked for me, but ANet may have patched it by now.

I agree that there should be a much easier way to re-obtain the starter headgears if you sold/deleted it by accident, however.

Nope, I transmuted it to:
-white lvl 30 head,
-green “soulbound when used” head.

None worked, it still says “soulbound to another character”, I can’t even take that item off from my bank.

castlemanic, I tried to do that. I’ve put mask to my bank, but I couldn’t transmute it, because here was red information on that mask: “Soulbound to another character” or something like that.

I had many hats/masks, like Acolyte exotic mask, but it had clippign issue. Rest was…ugly So I think, that starting masks are THE BEST masks for mesmer profession.

Just give us Clocktower back, but with changed chest drops!

But I want that Angryface or Sadface!

So well, I’ve (like thousands of mesmers) deleted my mesmer mask after first few levels… now it’s gone FOREVER and if you want to try to create new character and hold that mask in your bank, you can’t do that, because it’s SOULBOUND((
Couldn’t ANet change it, so we could re-gain those lovely masks anytime?

Every proff had it’s own obsidian armor… and even, every gender had it! Here would be too much combinations… mesmer had 2 obsi armors, elementalists… ANet wouldn’t create so much armors, I guess.

Okay, I done that puzzle 50 times or so, and here are some bugs (I guess):
-random teleporting out: it sometiems teleports you to “waiting area” even when you didn’t touch that green ooze.
-it didn’t teleport me [once] into clocktower, although I jumped directly into it.

Anyone has met first bug? It happened to me so many times…

Go and complete Mad king clocktower for ur free exotic. Or complete 100% maps. I got 1 exotic drop from veteran elemental, after 200 hours.

bump T_T
I am sure most of Acolyte wearers might have similar problem.

Oh guys, you misunderstood me… Let’s compare it to GW1 again: during wintersday here were “bear runs” – you could obtain some candy shards, and other boozes…but, here was VERY SMALL chance for polar bear. Understood? Now I see who played GW1 and who didn’t. Mad King dungeon is short run, and bear runs were short, as well. Both farm-able.

So, after defeating Mad King, all we can obtain are fangs, 2 crappy greens and some silver? Or maybe is here any item with 0.0001% drop chance? Is it worth to farm that dungeon (when it will be fixed, of course)?

In GW1 we could earn huge amounts of platinum: farming sweets, ToT bags from vaettirs and many, many other things… And now? What happened? I know, and you know – 90% of halloween items are account bound/soulbound or other bound T_T You can farm useless things like corns. And tonics? Armors? Gifts? Bound, of course. And those pumpkins, chocolate and cinamon were one HUGE SPECULATION, and I lost some GOLD because of that. 90% of items being -bound doesn’t allow us to earn money, like in GW1 we were able to.
PS: Tonics could be non-bound. Slippers too.

And your char’s lvl 80 will be still lowered in low lvl zones(((

I had more fun in GW1, farming (speedclearing) same dungeons 100 times, or elite locations. GW2 has dungeons, but missed elite locations, like urgoz/uw/fow! It would be fun… And yes, pvp in gw1 was more fun, because I had much, much more skills and attributes to choose.

DJZephyr.4921:

How can we be burnt out after a matter of weeks? I played WoW, Oblivion and Fallout 3 (among others) for MONTHS ON END without ‘burning out.’

I played WoW for years, too (until GW2 came, and played GW1 as break from wow). But WoW had many carrots on a stick: farming raids for better gear, weapons. Dungeons for achievs, rare mounts, legendary weps, arena ranking with horrible pvp…

Calsie.2501:

Not enough carrot on the stick, for me.

Yes, indeed. Even legendary weapons aren’t motivation for me – because it all is about gold…hundreds of gold. And I don’t do dungeons, because my armor BOUGHT FROM THE TRADING POST seems to be the best looking, for me. Weapons too. I am aiming for Foefire’s Essence, so AC will be the only one dungeon I will farm.

Well, after I played few betas I was very impatient for the release…so boom, and here GW2 is, playable and done. So I created my char, lvled up to 80 doing as much things as possible. I was not rushing like mad, and I had my 80 lvl after a bit more than 2 weeks. So I made some dungeons, started to do some hearts from different zones etc… And now I am bored!

I’m not even interested in Halloween event! What was happened to me? I was “fanboy” at release, and now I log sometimes just to play a bit of TP, and later I will buy my 100g weapon (so 90g more, hee hee). That’s all. I dont do dungeons anymore, because some of them are hard and rewards aren’t…rewarding. Few blues from chest? No, thanks. And that (nerfed) silver reward sometimes can be fully used to pay repair bills. I am not even interested in doing 100% world map! WvW seems to be interesting, but those low FPS… sPvP was nice, too, but… 4 maps? A bit boring

Well, I will still play GW2, but not like I was playing after release. I will play and wait for new pvp maps, new content…maybe it will give my interest back!

Yes, don’t nerf thieves. Their 21k damage within 2 seconds is OKAY. Let be those 21k dmg a punishment for your 2sec (in)attention.

Yes Tweek, we have discovered most (every?) of named exotics, and they all were in gw2db. So if they aren’t in gw2db they may not exist.

I think we discovered most of named weapons which use gifts….here is only Infinite Light recipe waiting to be confirmed.

I read things like that you wrote": thiefs OP, nerf nerf…so I have created thief, especially for pvp, not pve, made typical glass cannon build, power+precision…and what?

The easiest proffesion ever! Omg after I was killing one “noob” after another I was feeling soo OP, to be true. And being “Champion Shadow” is soo pro title! “Look, I am champion shadow you noob, die from my 1hit you noob” and “backstab omg what a noob..”

Blah blah it isn’t problem to craft legendary…The problem is..gold. And if you haven’t bought millions of cheap items at start of game, or you haven’t exploited – it will take looooooong time to obtain legendary.

You must have lost your girlfriend if you ever had her…

By the way, does it looks a bit different (in night) than Twilight? I see that Eternity is a bit darker but i might be..blind

Maybe it is Infinite Light sword… or else I have no other ideas.

Yea, can’t disagree, greatswords have soo much love in that game Thankgod I am mesmer and mesmers can use greatswords <3

Here are some staffs waiting to be discovered:

Wolf staff <3

Wolf’s statue gift+scroll+50coins (or more)+ 250 staff parts OR ancient planks

It might be recipe for wolf’s staff!

edit: here is wolf trident too, so replace staff parts with harpoon parts.

Lelouch, I tried every Heart trophys, but they don’t combine with anything. Don’t buy them.
We’d better focus on gift+lodestones recipes —→ they mostly give new exotics.

Tweek, if you could, just buy eldritch scroll and check if that gift of color and/or energy can be added to it. Those might create new exotic weapons.

LostMK, I was sure that recipe is right. Now what’s the recipe for the Infinite Light? My mesmer will need that after I get Foefire’s Essence lol.

BTW, could anyone going for foefire weapons check, if gift of light can be added to scroll+orichalcum sword part? If no, then Infinite Light might use gift of might/metal or just be output from 4 weapons…

fykick.2569:

Deemus’ recipe is glacial lonestones, not Destroyer Lodestones…so it isn’t Jormag’s needle.

Is is. Strangely, here are 2 recipes for that weapon.

Edit: Look what a strange things… one recipe can even give 2 DIFFERENT weapons! Check http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_forge/Other_Weapons . That page is updated.

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/72140-quip-legendary-pistol-video/

here it is!

Demus, it is actually known recipe for http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Jormag%27s_Needle

Let’s find way to create Infinite Light :P

LostMK, buy 2 bow parts and check which one matches with the gift (if it uses gift? Dont know.)

Frost bow would use gift of ice+250 bow parts…if you really want that bow, go and get gift of ice first :P

So, that exotic Acolyte armor is ruined. Mask has big clipping issue (see picture). And after you jump into water and use some abilities, your pants half-disappear and you can see your character’s ugly, hairy legs. Only under water action, and that “effect” stays even after you go out of the water. See pictures below:

Arcanis.2437:

lejean.9615:

Gift of light is for spectral weapons…. Infinite Light would use DIFFERENT gift. Maybe gift of metal, music, entertaiment?

I know that, but theres nothing that says that Gift of Light cnt be used on that weapon also. Just try Gift of Light with Ori Sword blade.

Gift of fortune seems just to expensive.

You see, volcanus is expensive too :p And here are much more weapons which use gifts, and I believe gift of fortune might create one.

Could not edit. but:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gift_of_Fortune

Gift of Fortune+scroll+coins+100/250 sword blades ?

Gift of light is for spectral weapons…. Infinite Light would use DIFFERENT gift. Maybe gift of metal, music, entertaiment?

Striefer, I was about to write that, you were faster
Infinite Light, 1h sword. By the way, does it have any particle effects? Preview in game shows nothing…just normal looking blade with runes.

God Alien.8960:

I apologize for the double post but this issue is really bothering me. There are some people that have posted in this thread who have Foefire weapons.
I would like a dev to help me with this issue asap. I recently crafted Aether (foefire style short bow), and it is not behaving as it should. The preview indicates that it has a “pulsing” animation that makes the particle effects pulse at certain time intervals. This is not occurring in game. The only time it pulses is when I equip the weapon from the inventory, but not when I swap between weapons in game. Is this normal behavior? Can someone who has the GS or the Hammer confirm this? All input is much appreciated.

Try to write in Technical forums… or game bugs.
