You mean guild vault? Before the Sept update you did, now that guilds are server wide you should not.

I have a Norn Thief. It is has also maxed size, since I wanted to do something opposite in regards to everyone telling me that a thief should be small. And I love the appearance of my thief

I have a Norn Theif as well. He blends right into the background.

Firstly, grats.
Second do you actually like the skin for twilight?
If yes look at the guide, figure out what crafting levels you will need and plan your time around dungeon runs for a while.
Personally I dislike twilight so the answer for me is easy.

How Can ANet Improve Average Player Skills

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

Also, spoon-feed players by having NPCs shout out instructions on how to defeat bosses:

[Assault Knights appear]
Rox: “Looks like Scarlet’s getting annoyed. Don’t forget to use your Scarlet’s Army Slaying Potion if you have any.”

[Assault Knight takes a flying leap]
Majory: “The Assault Knight is going to pull you in, dodge, now!”

[Assault Knights throw up their defensive shields]
Heal-o-Tron: Enemy-unit-has-engaged-shields. Suggest-cessation-of-condition-based-skills.

Better if said warnings appear as large flashing text in front of their screens consisting of no more than two words and an exclamation “Drink Potion!”, “Dodge Now!”, “No Conditions!”

Because players are becoming too impatient (and possibly lazy) to read a long string of text on their right.

It has been shown that the human IQ has slowly been lowering since the Victorian age. Not boding well for the longevity of the human race, honestly.

Also, your ‘flashing words’… only if some of us have the option to shut the things off. Some people suffer from migraines and other issues that can be affected by a lot of things flashing on the screen.

Since the early 20th century, raw scores on IQ tests have increased in most parts of the world.353637 When a new version of an IQ test is normed, the standard scoring is set so performance at the population median results in a score of IQ 100. The phenomenon of rising raw score performance means if test-takers are scored by a constant standard scoring rule, IQ test scores have been rising at an average rate of around three IQ points per decade. This phenomenon was named the Flynn effect in the book The Bell Curve after James R. Flynn, the author who did the most to bring this phenomenon to the attention of psychologists.3839

The problem with studies, is that with enough of the ‘right’ candidates, they can be swayed to show pretty much anything. I do admit (see my other post to Mirta) that they should all be taken with a grain of salt. From my personal experience, I am apt to learn towards the average iq dropping. Or perhaps, people just prefer to act like idiots. I honestly don’t know.

Those data are from eveyone that takes an official iq test which for a while was every student in a large part of the developed world.

Will Bolts of Damask ever drop in price?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

When everyone has ascended armour sure.

The problem is when that happens, the price drop for Damask caused by less demand will be offset by less people farming cloth because it’s high in price at the moment.

Damask will only drop in price if Anet gave us a mean to reliably harvest cloth, like we can harvest wood and metal. For example being able to harvest flax, cotton, etc. from the ground and then craft it to bolts (because crafting into scraps makes no sense).

I am guaranteed silk from armour, can’t see what benefit those nodes would be.

And you’re guaranteed to get cloth armor drops every time you kill X monster?

That’s what I meant with “reliable”. Hoping for a cloth armor drop is not reliable. And it gets even worse when farming materials below your character level.

Over a days play yes I am absolutely guaranteed cloth drops.

This is the first one that I didn’t like the direction the voice actors where given. It was all wink wink nudge nudge during the initiation ceremony and no cult/secret society would do that.
I like the map, confused about the siren abilities, can’t do last chance story instance solo since the npc dies at a sneeze and the sparks can’t be aggro’d away. Another character of mine probably but kind of defeats the purpose.

New player thoughts

Yargesh.4965

There is a huge amount of content to go through in this game. People who don’t plan at all and want everything have a problem. The op being a new pleayer could have done old map complete, story and several side achievements to get the point needed in the base zone to fill out things like Pact commander so they get auto loot. Then move on to the new maps and be on the same footing as everyone else when they enter the HoT maps and just go around collecting HP and exp.
TLDR: take your time and it is amazing how the exp adds up and the mastery points as well..

Scarlet was good enough to get many knickers in a twist so win in that respect. She was a sociopath with a conscience, knew mordi could control the silvari and woke him up early to give the world a chance.
was she the greatest no, but for mmorpg good enough.
I agree with above that s1 was more attractive to me. With the addition that the lack of permanent content lead to living world instead of static world we have now.

Yargesh.4965

Firstly you have 5 character slots and can experiment with races, classes at low level and high level (characters are max leveled in sPvP environments). Second realize that this is not the game you have played for so long and cannot be that game. Don’t rush to level 80 because end-game is very much different than what you are used to. Lastly set your own goals because the game won’t do it for you.

PVP in games always seems to be based on you will like PVP eventurally. Kind of like someone hitting you with a baseball bat, saying they are having a great time. They then look at you funny when you say it is not fun. Then they say they will keep hitting with the bat until you say it is fun, and get ticked off when you refuse.

Hey thanks for enlightening me(The newbie) about guild. Didn’t know there were so many things that weren’t implemented.

Well basicaly guilds never been a bad thing in gw2, but honestly not a must thing you can completly solo play, if you are lone wolf being.

So basically a guild is a social group that likes to play together. I don’t see a huge problem.

untransmute skin, to make it not soulbound

There are splitters that give a skin back but it stays soulbound. Best is to use a transmutation stone or crystal to a white item, you then have an account bound item.

"Suggestion" GW2 Dueling updated

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

I am and have always been in favor of a dueling option in this game. I have faith that it could be properly implemented. If there was an option, when left unticked, that made it impossible for someone else to duel you, then there would be no harrassment.

No amount of complaints about one’s inability to ignore another human being will ever convince me this game is better without an option to duel in all those great locales.

Direct quote from one of the vocal open world duel crowd below.

runeblade.7514: Duel servers exist for me to grief there!

Yargesh.4965: You admit griefing in closed PvP arenas but somehow you would not grief in open world PvE areas. Makes sense.

runeblade.7514: Who said I would not try to grief there? ANet should design it so I can’t.

Does anet have audits on the gem economy?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

They have set it so that gems to gold is always less than gold to gems. It is a fixed percentage. If for some reason you have objections to in game conversions take it up with support. They have no need nor desire I am sure to go through an audit of a automated system.

My post was entirely inquisitive and not aggressive or condemning of their system. I don’t know how you came about believing that I may have a problem with what anet’s doing, but I assure you that I do not.

I am unsure because you are asking for an audit (which corporations and companies need under law to do) for an in game system run by the company involved. They legally need to have a yearly audit since they are an incorporated company any income or expenditures need to be checked and the basics released publicly. An internal audit of systems to make sure they are running the way they should be would be a standard practice. No where would these data be released so even if they do, do it regularly neither you nor I would have a clue. So to sum up it is a strange question.

Hero point cost of new Specializations

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

should be more or less the same as previous one…. 250

So they can unlock the entire spec without touching PoF zones? That’s unlikely to happen.

I think it’s quite likely to happen, largely because it’s consistent game design. Think about it this way: would it make sense, looking 2-3 expansions down the line, to have the elite specs cost 250, 350, 250, 250, etc? No. However, if you look at the PoF demo map, it had 5 HPs, compared to 11 in most HoT ones (7 in DS). My guess is that they’re going to reduce the amount of HPs in PoF to exhaust existing supplies, then get onto a regular rhythm.

The demo map was not the entire map so there is an unknown amount left to find.

I think we may have to go through the NPCs that represent each elite and probably do a side quest before we can spend the points we have.
