Guild Wars 2

Flash drives can be compromised after they leave the manufacturer much much easier than cd’s. From a security and legal viewpoint I doubt this would ever happen.

NcSoft said in their report that there will be an expansion 2015 and it will not be free.

NcSoft did not say this.

Yes they did say it. Have you seen the report?

“Also, in 2015, NCsoft is expected to roll out an expansion pack for Guild Wars 2, which
has sold more than 3mn copies since its release in 2012 in the US and Europe. We
assumed in our 2015 earnings estimates Guild Wars 2 expansion pack sales of around
2mn copies (US$50 per copy), and note that the expansion packs for Guild Wars 1 have
sold almost as much as the original game in the year of their release.”

Umm, it is not NcSoft who wrote that.

I very rarely do dungeons, so some things are over a year old and I have no clue which path was done. I would really like to know if I have done something or not.

they were not wrong from where I am sitting.

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.

You still don’t understand what “reliable” means, do you? Yeah, everything averages out in long term, but that’s not “reliable”.

Let’s say I want to farm 100 iron? I harvest the rich iron nodes for 50-60 and then normal nodes for the rest (at 3-4 per node). That takes me less than 30 minutes if I’m quick.

Let’s say I want to farm 100 silk? I kill mobs for thirty minutes and if I’m really, really lucky I have those 100 silk scraps. If not, I might have as little as 20.

Do I need to explain this further? Anything that is based on random drops is by definition not reliable.

Gl with your fixation.

Everyone agree? Like asking if everyone likes x. No everyone does not like x. The company made a decision good or bad it will not go away. I really won’t know what I think until I actually see it, not speculate and let group think lead me.

This is it, you don’t like it shame. Not going to change things.

I didn’t really have a response to this thread til I read this quoted post.

No one asked anyone to change anything. Just pointing that out right here, right now.

The OP stated he desires a follow up to GW1, not a theft of names and places used to make an entirely different game. You have two camps here, and the responses will reflect this.

Camp 1: GW1 players who were looking forward to a new engine to GW1 expanding in to crafting (I guess) and such, to provide a new experience with the old game. This was pretty much sold as GW2 right up until the launch when it was clear the Manifesto was ditched.

Camp 2: Players who never played GW1 during it’s glory days and come to GW2 from other games. These are the ones typically stalwartly defending everything in GW2 and poo-pooing anyone who brings up anything with GW1 in the discussion.

And you are not going to get that game. Live with it or not that is the way it is.

There is nothing wrong to voice it out.

After so many years yes there is.

I agree that the underwater breather should use the stats you have on land, not needing another headpiece with hopefully adequate stats and buying another rune.
Love underwater combat, shame others don’t, can absolutely be improved though.

had not heard of this, I hope it never happens again.

Several of the crafter backpacks are pretty reasonable. Mainly the lower tier tailor and armorsmith ones also the simple chef’s backpack.

There is always the ‘hide back item’ option. Why must there be one?

reasonable in what sense? Because literally no one uses them. I’ve only ever seen one person use a crafting backpack, and that wasn’t a tailoring one (and there’s always a chance that they didnt know how to turn them off).

Why are people defending the notion of pouring art resources into a large number of items literally no one uses, instead of a handful of items people would be excited to use? I’m all for variety and pleasing different tastes, but if you look at the backpieces people actually use it’s pretty evident that there is a strong consensus on what people like and are willing to use.

Aww…I’ve just been ‘literally’ deemed no one. =(

Yes, me too. Amazing how many experts use “literally” to make a point though.

They all sell that. Select one of the tabs to the left.

I’m not sure if this is what Anet wanted, but I’m thinking most players have either quit playing the game altoghether or quit playing pve (and play pvp/wvw only).

Im sorry….I wouldnt normally reply but id love to know where youre getting your information from, that most have quit and its due to the wardrobe. Its laughable to think that a major plus point of the content patch has driven people away. Its a great addition to the game and in my opinion has helped to draw people back.

I understand the issues regarding the new system compared to the old but in my opinion I think you can use the term ‘greater good’ here. Plus you can still get charges from map completion, a fact many leave out when talking about the wardrobe.

The player you have quoted has been saying people are quitting en-mass since the game opened. The reason why just changes every release. Just skim their post history.

But GW2 is working, so your premise is inherently flawed.

Is it, though? Is it really?

From where I am sitting, yes it is.

Not afraid of HoT

emotes, fashion, fluff all are perfect for the gem store. People want something that does not directly impact how the game is played the company should have the option to make extra money from it.

Welcome, treat extreme hyperbole for what it is and keep having fun.

molehill becomes a mountain.

Think it means you can see them on new characters if you have one character that can see them.

besides the passive aggressive stance you could go out buy gems with real money and help all the people in game by dropping the price of gold to gems.

Since Mark has left an official clarificaton that this will not be in the game why drag it on and on?

It would be nice if they completely reworked the Zhaitan finish.

Spending a heck of a lot of time building up AA, waiting in queue?

Why are you wasting time using lfg? It used to be 40 min to guarantee a spot, now I often drop in 10 min or less before and get the kill. Hoping from world to world is not useful.

Additionally you shouldn’t tell people how they play the game. Some people can only play a little every day. Others can only play a lot on select days. Forcing one method of playing the game in detriment of all the others is, again, bad design.

Maybe you shouldn’t tell how Anet should run its game then.

That’s right. They’re doing a great job at shooting themselves in the foot all by themselves. With the decisions month after month, sounds like pandemonium there. When the new MMOs hit the market, that’s when we’re gonna see how well they run their game.

You realize that exactly this same thing with slight variation will be on the forums of whatever the next game you play don’t you? Every single game I have ever played has had this stated in forums and every game I play in the future will have this in forums.

my biggest issue, and it is not a huge problem for me, is the tendency for the big bosses to only have an active attack area in a cone shape in front of them. They (mostly) raise minions and have effects that do not cover a ‘big’ enough area.

Once per account per story segment. Has been discussed and responded to by ANET, since forum search does not work you need to use another search engine with key words.

ok?

Stated by several mods it was not an exploit. May not be what they would like but they did not see it as an exploit. As Danikat said they can change it at any time and they did.

As was said above PvP in PvE zones is WvW. They specifically designed the game with separation of the game modes in mind.

Also, I expressed my opinion that a certain member here might actually be an employee in disguise. I promptly received an infraction, my post was deleted and so were any posts agreeing with, and quoting it.

You do realize they would never admit, don’t you?

paranoia is a wonderful thing.

Top of the page you are on now is a support option. Click that login and see what messages you have been sent. If nothing there the e-mail is not from the game. Never click a link that says it is from a game anyway, use the support function you find with any game you will play.

The number of threads already talking about this are not enough for you?

If you have nothing to add to the conversation I’m trying to start, you could have just as easily said nothing at all or not even have clicked on the title. And perhaps if the search function on the forum worked properly I might be able to find a pre-existing post without scouring a ton of forum pages.

Since many other threads have what you want go to them and post. That is my worthwhile contribution to your amazing and original OP.

The reason why I’m writing this is because I LOVE Guild Wars 2.

Oh boy…

Ziggy says there’s an 85% chance your here to save GW2 by writing an insightful post on the forums that will bring about a transcendent level of communication between the players and the developers the likes of which has never been seen in the history of online gaming, which will prompt the return of Heroes/Henchies to Tyria, which in turn will be a key element in the creation of the first true Artificial Intelligence.

I am on bonehearts side here.

How exactly have you been had? The stats have been posted a long time. If you crafted them you can’t suddenly claim they where something else. For such a huge investment in time I would kind of want to know before I started (which is why I got to 500 crafting and did not make the items).

How would you feel to pay 30k$ for what you think would be a luxury car only to find out you get a used honda? The effort in itself should justify an adequate reward. Hell ANY reward. This thing is a pink exotic…

You actually spend huge amounts of money on things sight unseen and expect sympathy?

EDIT: Honda’s used to be high demand street racing cars, which people would spend a lot more than 30000 on. Not sure if they still are though.

I am hoping for a glorious finale when all these mysteries start getting solved by us, meddling kids!

And our pet dog!

Dog? Where? (said in Scooby doo voice.)

Play the game. Some will be annoying to get, some are absolutely not going to be used by you. If you don’t have the traits you want by 80 go back and see if you want to get them by doing the activity or if you would prefer to pay for them. You will not be forced out of activities because you don’t have a specific trait (with the exception of speed run dungeons and that is a whole different mindset anyway).

Same post 10 below this on first page. It is an optional one since you can easily get 5 to finish the daily smiley face and all.

I agree with this.

This is really, really handy. Frankly the only thing I would take from the other game.

SW corner of Lions Arch there is a NPC that gives a summary of season 1.

Maybe read the whole post watched the recap video

The recap showed what had happened, compressing a year into a couple of minutes is pretty much impossible to be anything but a quick summary. Youtube has other video if you really, really need to dig deep.

If you boost the damage output of the group do you get all the extra damage counted on your damage meter? If you prevent damage that would kill team members do you get the damage that they deal during this time? If you put down a combo field do you get all the extra damage counted as your own? If you trigger a combo field? Kind of pointless meter if it does not take these things into account.

I think this sums it up really well,

It doesn’t drop champion bags in order to prevent people from failing it on purpose and raging at those that don’t go along with it.

Mostly this. Every event that the champ farming reward is greater than the final reward has resulted in people not wanting it to succeed. This way the most reward comes from finishing each leg of the event. This was actually asked for in these self same forums.

I use it all the time in pve. One of the benefits of mesmer is that all the weapons are effective. I personally enjoy greatsword.

I am thinking that I will probably identify the bags until I get all the skins unlocked then salvage everything after. Only thing I don’t salvage now are exotic weapons and that is only to throw them to the mystic forge. I have been very lucky doing this but with other sources of exotic (not from tp) this is a non issue.

It takes a really, really long time to sink in that this is not GW1 doesn’kitten

I think it’s new years eve tomorrow.
