If they catch u using it, im sure they will not check what u were doing at that time. And “I was playing the bell” prob wont cut it. Dont forget it could also be used as anti-afk so i dont think it would be legal (even if u dont use it long enough to be anti-afk purpose). But yeah i totally understand where you are coming from, it would be fun =)

PS: Offtopiv but is the bell bind on equip? OR can u move it around ur diff toons after u use it on one?

Hi my guild leader sent me the 70gold i lent him a while ago and has been wrongfully banned for RMT. He has sent in a ticket 7-8 days ago and hasnt got a reply, please review it again. You may look at logs of my account and his account. I lent him the gold a few days after the Karka event and he returned it to me 7-8 days ago, a few days before his avvount got banned.

Wrongful Perm Ban? Address Your Issue!

lunartic.3647

That to send money ingame to friends would result in bans, is an unfounded idea by some players on the forum. I simply don’t believe it. At best sending money may raise some questions and sadly some bans might be a mistake. But mistakes call for a review and a rewind of a ban, they don’t call for hallucinations.

I wouldnt take a risk, would you? Go ahead and try it. I wouldnt cause my guild leader got banned for it.

Is it against the rules to WTS?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: lunartic.3647

lunartic.3647

Crazy idea:

Could a person start their own guild ( I don’t know what it takes to do this, maybe costs $), invite the potential WTS partner to the guild, put the item for sale in the guild bank, give the trader permission to deposit items but not withdraw, have them deposit their payment, you remove the payment, then give them access to withdraw the item you are selling them, then kick them from your “guild?” I know this sounds silly, but isn’t it a more secure possibility?

BTW, I don’t know what the costs are for starting a guild or having a guild bank, etc. but for a serious WTS trader, wouldn’t it be worth the cost to have a Perma-secure trading hub for yourself?

You do know that your method is no different from telling the guy to mail you gold then you mailing him the item right?

To the OP, if im the buyer, i’d always want the guy to mail me the item. If you don’t trust me, no biggie ill just get it from the TP. If you are doing it for the extra profit (vs selling on TP), you do know that not many ppl will take such a big risk for trying to save <15% discount on an item. The only way this would work is if you want to sell the item fast by pricing in between the lowest seller and highest offer, which will result in less desirable amount of total profit

lunartic I would consider you a lucky person

I have run 15 daily runs consecutive and am yet to see my first ring. So I’d love to see what Anet brings out next to improve this system.

The rng system to me is horrible, as i have seen guildies with 20+ runs and no rings =( I’d have prefer a token system instead. I prefer a consistant way to get my gear and choose the stats i want but that’s jsut me. Btw, i got my fifth today so five in a row now and still havent got the one i really want.

I got a ring 4/11 daily. 0 on first 7 days and 4 in a row on the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th run. its RNG. I’d have been fine with getting only 1 ring (and hopefully its the stats i need) for that 11 runs. I dont expect a ring to drop every three runs, i mean, what am i gonna do with 10 rings at the end of the month? Prepare myself to whine at the forum next month that the contents are boring cause i am at lv100? If it was a weekly instead of a daily (like another game i played in the past), yeah sure i’d hope for higher rate of the rings dropping. Just my two cents, dont hate.

Transmuting Legendary Weapons?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: lunartic.3647

lunartic.3647

If ANET doesn’t figure out how to boost the stats on transmuted Legendary weapons before they release Ascended weapons, lots of people will be very angry. Even worse, the angry people are the ones who used stuff from the gem store. Especially after explicitly promising that they will boost Legendary stats.

I doubt ANET will be stupid enough to anger the people who are using the store. Especially when one obvious solution is to give everyone a Legendary an Ascended weapon with the same stat combo and a free fine transmutation stone. That would keep their promise.

So if you don’t like the stats on your Legendary, transmute it with stats you do like. All you will lose now is the color of the text.

Not that I do not agree with what you said but then that will create another group of ppl who goes “OMG i didnt mind the transmuted stats and now i have to spend Xgold transmuting it again?!” I think that if one transmute stats on their legendary Anet assumes that you are happy with the stats and want to keep them. Transmutations are permanent until you retransmute with them. That said, i agree with most of what you said.

Discovering cooking recipes, maybe? There are 100ish different intermediates that need to be stored – because otherwise you’ll never find out what’s missing in your 4th slot. (Except internet study, but that’s less fun.)

When u double click and item in the discovery tab it tells you how many discoverable recipes there are, make x number of that item = profit Hope that helps

Mystic Forge: Exotics from lvl 30 rares?

in Crafting

Posted by: lunartic.3647

lunartic.3647

Those Lvl 60 exotic are because of the superior rune that been socketed inside.
I don’t know if you can get them by throwing Lv60 rares, since mostly came out being a lvl 68 above rare or lvl 76-80 exotic.

Are you saying rares become exotic by putting in exotic sigils/runes?! =D I slot in superior rune/sigil for my lv60+ alts, doesnt make them exotic. The only lv60+ exoric i got was from a mob drop.

Lingering Curse does not increase bleed duration

Correct me if im wrong but I think ppl have tested and found that condition duration increase caps at 100% and that the 33% stack on top of the cap. So a 5sec scepter 1 skill + 5sec (100% dur) + 3sec (33% rounded down) sounds about right =)

Sigil recommendations for Conditmancer

what swadow said is true for the 30% sigils. For the 60% sigils its 84% if u use them for mh/oh. It’s 1-(1-x)*(1-x), where x is the chance to proc (assuming they’re both the same sigil.

@ascii By 3 bleeds from 1 bash i think u meant 1 from ability, 1 from Sigil of Earth and 1 from Barbed Precision and not 2 from Sigil of Earth

@Sparda Not sure about the centaur but krait is crafted by armorsmith, 1 ori ingot and 1 putrid =) btw i just realized ur wearing the power/cond/vit gear, I am giving up vitality for toughness (survival stats), not precision. And giving up power for precision (offensive). Not fair to compare precision and vitallity. =)

@Chuiu You made a good point but i personally think it’s situational. In a zergy situation like keep defence/attack yeah. We usually do not ride the zerg (again we might have diff definition of a zerg) we run our own group and avoid the zerg direction. Duration is especially good against fleeing enemies =) In a perfect world everyone will cleanse at a perfect timing when they get x amount of bleed on them, ppl cleansing the group will have all their teammates within range. In reality it’s usually too early or too late, its not easy to catch the perfect timing especially with ppl right at your face melee-ing on you. Every dodge roll is an extra second of x stack (x tends to be higher when u stack duration) of bleed on you. Worse if you turn back and run or stunned, snared, etc =) The theory sounds good but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on if ur the attacker or the defender) it doesnt always work like how ppl want them to be. Cleanse with lower cd usually only take 1 off you (which may not be bleed). Multiple condition cleanse usually has higher cd. Unbuffed, i have 1309 so i do literaly 8.6 damage per stack per second less than you do (comparing unbuffed) but assuming you dont use the 2/2/2 rune combo i have at least 30% more duration than you do.

But yes, it’s situational depending on ur playstyle so it may work for you. Note that i’m almost always in a tight guild group in wvw. I think most of our opponents will want to be doing something other than cleansing when im dotting them up cause they prob have other direct damage class in their face. I’d think ppl will always prioritize direct damage dealer up in their face before trying to cleanse my dots off.

PS: Duration works better against short base duration bleeds more than high base duration bleeds. I dont care too much about adding an extra 30 seconds to a long base duration bleed, its more to increase the short base duration bleeds.

@Sparda I do have 25k (25,278 to be exact) hp in WvW with the current setup, not too far from ur 27k. I do not care too much about the 1 sec bleed from Barbed Precision, that’s just a bonus. The precision is more for the 5 sec bleed proc from Sigil of Earth, and the extra crit damage u get since all our abilities (including bleed abilities) have some initial direct damage on it (that is affected by precision). Also dont forget i’m a Staff/Scepter/Dagger Necro so the precision will help the mark damage too. And yeah they all add up. Also from what i have observed in actual fights, too many ppl react too quickly and cleanse themselves as soon as they see the first bleed on themselves, putting their cleanse on CD too early (Also some ppl dont cleanse, yes too many clueless ppl or ppl trying to save their cleanse cd). I always start with my staff (which gives minimal bleed stacks), and by the time i swap to my scepter, these guys have their cleanses on cd.

I wont argue your point preferring vitality more than toughness since you have a different playstyle but i personally value toughness more since we have a high hp base (like the warrior) and yes im aware that toughness doesnt mitigate cond damage. I have deathly swarm, well of power and epidemics on my bar so i actually do not mind cond on me. Ppl do overestimate the number of condition build players in wvw (Either not many or ppl are just hitting diff targets). Also i run in organized group and use Plague for group charge opener (with my tanks in group) or to survive longer and pull out (when it’s not on cd). In a normal 2pugsvs1 i have no problem taking them down most time (not saying everytime and also not saying im awesome, necro is just op at that)

In the end, it all comes down to ur playstyle and who ur playing with. The best spec for anyone is whatever ur comfortable with =)

@Sparda I do run all toughness/precision/cond dam armor/weapon (I use carrion accessories with “rare” rabid crest, but that’s a lil overkill) + 300 precision from trait. Most, if not all (i need to check) ur cond damage skill have some initial damage that critical will affect. According to the wiki, 100 condition damage only comes up to 5 damage per second per stack, which equals to about 5% duration increase (i’ll assume a humble 100 damage tick). For the most part, damage and duration don’t clash except when it comes to runes/sigil, and like i said above, i personally prefer condition duration over condition damage since no 6 piece runes can give you 900 condition damage (as opposed to the 45% duration from cen/krait/aff; let me know if i did a bad calculation). Yes ppl can cleanse, but i can also reapply fast (while your cleanse is on cd). Don’t forget i’m also using epidemics so “everyone” needs to cleanse. But well, that’s just my opinion, some may say different.

PS: Not sure if its additive or multiplicative, but if you are right, that makes condition duration even better, doesnt it? Oh, and yes the sigil does proc pretty often, try it in the mist =)

@Sparda Why the geomancy? I always thought the sigil of earth is better, could be wrong. I usually use Earth and Agony in my Scepter/Dagger and Corruption in my staff since i use S/D more than my staff and the 25 stacks buffs will retain when I swap to scepter from my staff. I prefer cond duration cause 100 condition damage = about 5 damage per second per stack. Assuming an average of 100 damage tick, +45% bleed duration (krait/afflicted/centaur) roughly comes up to about 900 cond damage worth (If your hitting for more per tick, then duration becomes even better).

@Jayce What do you mean no one has found the nightmare rune? Most of my condition spec guildies are using them (not sure how many piece), beyond the mist =) They drop in TA, albeit not often but not super rare either.

Unable to purchase Gems

Posted by: lunartic.3647

lunartic.3647

I still think it’s no harm giving at least a warning (even without the x numbers) that frequent use of the same card to purchase gems from store will result in ur card being flagged for possible fraud (Unless you assume that every player trying to buy gems frequently from the store is a bank robber, of course)

>Smooth penguin
Sorry bad wording, i meant permaban the specific credit card, didnt mean game account. From what i have read the people with the same problem had their credit card (the one they used to purchase multiple times from the gem store) perma flagged. Calling CSR allowed them to have their card temporary unflagged for 48 hours (then it’s flagged again). Unless the card is used a crazy amount of time in a very short period of time, i dont think the card should be flagged. And if they deemed that it’s a possible fraud, why would they even temporary unflag it?

Just my two cents, no offence intended =)
