HOM skins are for people who played GW1. If you want them, play GW1.

If they did that, people in Guild Wars 1 would rebel. Not just because we want exclusive rewards all to ourselves, but because we put many long months in to get a lot of those skins. Anet said they would be exclusive, compensating us for losing literally five, six years of accumulation. All the best armor and weapons, gone. All our money. Gone. We all had to start over, in a game we never really asked for.

It’s not really that much of a perk to be honest.

The skins are still available to people who “did not” play GW1. All they have to do is “go play” GW1. Seriously, go play it. It’s still there.

In Lion’s Arch, visit the Laurel merchant and you can see you can buy 2 arrow cart blueprints for 1 laurel.

Now, if I buy 1 Heavy Crafting bag for 1 laurel and sell all the materials I got on trading post, then I can buy 100 blueprints from there.

Is this to give a view about the inflation some parts the game has suffered?

So your idea is to salvage exotics to get both of these globs, and then salvage one of these globs to get those other globs?
Sounds silly.

Excess coins for Dry Top pls

in Living World

Posted by: justkoh.4073

justkoh.4073

I hope that if A-net comes up with coin searching achievements again in future (or similar achievements in later living story segments), it will be for 30 out of 34 coins i.e. please don’t make us find exactly 30 out of available 30 coins.

In that sense what they did for the (regular) crystals in the Zephyr Sanctum was good, IMO.

When they insist we find exactly 30 out of 30 to get the achievement, the only thing they’re doing is promoting sites like Dulfy because:

  • Player who tried to find them himself gets frustrated and gives up,
  • Player who tried to find them himself ends up referring to Dulfy guide,
  • Player doesn’t even wanna try and immediately refers to Dulfy guide.

That robs the majority of us of the sense of accomplishment that we did it ourselves and make the players who went straight to the Dulfy guide seem like the smarter ones.

100+ chests opened, no fossil

Nevermind all the other rewards you got from opening all of those chests.

I really hope they deal with this issue some way other than allowing you to sell fossils on the TP. Maybe if the chests dropped ambrite and a certain amount of ambrite could be traded to the NPC for your choice of fossil?

When a game doesn’t allow you to buy something from other players, making it’s acquisition incredibly rare RNG is the wrong way to do it. Something needs to offset the ease of acquisition provided by trading with players. A token system (ambrite) allows long term progression towards item acquisition, by still retaining the (questionable) decision to make fossils an RNG roll in the first place.

Retain their account-bound status to ensure players with these weapons have to play the content, but adjust their acquisition so that there is a progression back up in addition to the RNG nonsense (similar to how fractals use Pristine Relics for ascended rings in addition to daily RNG rolls).

If I could sell mine, I would. I don’t like any of the new amber weapon skins, but I’m reluctant to just toss the fossil away since I know the value it has.

Mind you, making them tradeable would seriously devalue the weapon skins, but the RNG nature of acquisition is the same reason why people really hate the standard methods of acquiring precursors. At least with precursors you can buy them (albeit for exorbitant prices).

I’ve spent 4-5 hours every day for the last 3 days mindlessly farming dry top for geodes so I can open chests so I can make what I believe are the coolest and most unique weapon skins anet has released in a long time (they remind me of elder scrolls IV’s mania amber weapons), however after losing count of over 100 chests being opened, I have yet to get a single fossil, while many others have gotten 2-4 fossils in that same time frame.

Honestly its a frustrating way to progress towards a reward, and whereas some people may only need 600-700 goedes to make one weapon based on luck, I might need 1500+ geodes to make the same weapon. In short, its unfair and making me hate the living story event content. If there was another way to obtain the skins without doing the event, everything would be fine, but right now all its doing is alienating unlucky players, making them feel like they’re wasting their time and sidetracking other PvE tpvp and WvW goals just to get skins.

You may say, well these skins are permanent, you can make them any time. But thats only a possibility if T4/5 maps don’t die out as new content is released in the future. In 2 weeks or a month from now, anet could release a crafted amberite backpiece or armor, and unlucky players that couldn’t get a weapon skin will be even more disconnected or alienated based on that. And finally, its a downright slap in the face for so many people who don’t care about ever making the skins to find fossils, while the people giving up so much time that could be spent doing more fun things in the game (such as myself) spend just as much if not more time farming to unlock chests never get a single fossil.

All of this is bad rewards design. Cut the RNG or give us alternative but informed ways of acquiring these skins, such as buying on the TP or a guaranteed fossil after 50 chests or something like that.

Living Story Won't bring people back.

So we’re inching our way up to the 2nd year anniversary of Guild Wars 2, and yet we’re still being given living story content that’s done in literally an hour or two of playing.

Sure they’ve made living story better in some aspects, sure it’s better than living story season one so far, and sure we got a new map, but wtf?

Dry top is a beautiful map, but every 2 weeks we only get to unlock about what? 1/8th of the map? a very small portion crammed with events to make it look like there’s more to it than meets the eye. The achievements related to the Story Journal are not fun at all in my own opinion, and i’m sure other people just do them to get the points and want to get it over with as I do.

Time and time again people have been giving suggestions to improve the game and bring a lot of people back, that fall on deaf ears and go to the abyss.

Suggestions like…..

~Mounts
~Guild Halls
~Player Housing
~Expansion pack (Cantha, Elona, maybe a new one we haven’t seen in gw1 before)
~Guild Wars (GvG)
~New Skills, new weapons
~New classes
~New Playable Races
~Mini pet fighting arena in LA that hasn’t been open (yet if ever)
~Divinity’s Reach Shooting Range mini game and supposedly a bar fight mini game that was supposed to be there at launch or shortly after launch
~Marriage system
~Apprentice system
~New WvW maps (let’s face it 3 of the same map type is a big WTF even nearly 2 years after release…-_-)
~New sPVP maps and a total overhaul of the combat system to actually make it competitive and fun to watch, right now it’s a complete joke unfortunately.

There’s probably other stuff here that i’m missing so feel free to add onto the list.

However we did get a wardrobe system, 2 new maps in PVE (so far?) (1 WvW map that is basically a level/karma fest map and It’s pretty boring) cough EoTM :P,
New Gemstore outfits and items, a chunk load of mini pets that are overpriced on the gemstore to begin with, a few new SPVP maps since release, but all the same concept and design basically nothing new or interesting, Removal of the ORB in WvW that actually kind of made it fun for people trying to snipe the orb carrier and put it safely back on an altar and replacing it with lame “borderlands bloodlust” -_-

I do like the games design, I like the character customization and I like the story (somewhat, it lacks luster compared to gw1 though) but there’s just too many variables that aren’t being dealt with, or added into the game, I hope for the games sake they’re actually working on an expansion pack and the so called “Living Story” is only filler content to keep us busy while they surprise us with a BIG patch, but that seems pretty far fetched xD

Honestly I just think they’re ugly. They’re just corroded rock and magic. The magic part is cool and all, but the rest of it is hardly impressive in the slightest. Personally I found the Phoenix and Lovestruck Skins to be more my speed. They looked like proper weapons for the most part with acceptable magical enchantments/additions. My only complaint is that they don’t come with Gold instead of the Grey/Silver we got.

I really wish we could dye weapons.

The back part is probably like the obi, which is the sash around the middle with a bow at the back which can be very ornate. Seeing as this is an Oriental themed outfit, it’s very appropriate.

This forum is not a place for appealing a ban, but since you went into so much detail on why you think you got banned, I’ll go into the same level of detail on why you actually got banned.

Your account was terminated due to use of a 3rd Party Botting program. In regards to your reference to Cursed Shore, that is where you were reported (thanks players that reported you) and investigated. After watching your character, our GM team was able to determine that you were running a bot.

To extend further on that investigation, I looked into the logs and it looks like you were leaving your bot on for a couple of hours then playing the game later.

I also find it very interesting that a user by the name of kitten Cracked also has a post on a known botting forum where that user goes into depth about botting in Cursed Shore and is attempting to help others do the same.

Closing this thread. Please open a ticket with Customer Service if you wish to appeal.

Bugs

 

“(?)” = not verified post Sept 9 patch

 
01. Illusionary Warden

  • Phantasmal Haste doesn’t apply to iWarden. The attack rate is equal both with and w/out the trait.
  • Sometimes switches aggro and attacks the wrong target.
  • Sometimes the first attack has a long delay, resulting in warden constantly chasing the moving target and never initiating the spin.
  • Traited wardens will immediatelly stop their reflect whirl/animation if they reflect the projectile attack from the golem at the end of the SEp2. Untraited wardens will block the projectile and continue spinning as expected.
  • Warden is hitting ~3% less than before. DPS tests imply Warden is now weilding an exotic lvl 78 sword (pre-patch it was exotic lvl 80 axe). Warden tooltip still calculates to a lvl 80 weapon so it’s either the tooltip is lying or in-game dmg is lower than intended.

02. Teleport skills render you useless (?)

  • Sometimes when using a teleport skills (phase retreat, blink, etc), especially right after being knocked down or launched, will permanently root (cannot move or dodge) you until you use an emote such as /dance.
  • Sometimes using these teleport skills will get you stuck inside a wall, rock mesh, or some other terrain geometry in the vicinity, also rendering you pretty much helpless.
  • Reference: VIDEO

03. Blink

  • The skill will not blink you to the targeted spot, even if you have direct walkable path to the said target.
  • Possibly caused by uneven terrain and anti-exploit mechanics paired with lazy blocking volume placement on maps. However, this behaviour is extremely inconsistent: you may be able to blink over stairs and fences in Lion’s Arch but then fail to move forward through a presumably flat surface.
  • References: VIDEO / VIDEO

04. Mind Spike without boons

  • In combat the skill deals 10% less damage than what tooltip claims.

05. Temporal Curtain

  • If skill is clicked right after a weapon-swap, the curtain field will be placed at the location where the character was during the weapon swap and not where your mouse was actually pointing.
  • Reference: VIDEO

06. Targeted Skills may fail even though indicator says you’re in range

  • If your target is out of the skill range, there is a small distance where the skill will still be usable. If you use the skill in the said “bugged” range the skill will fail and display “Out of range” message on the screen. Usually that range is about 20 inches past the skills max range specified in the tooltip.

07. Many Phantasm skills

  • If an illusion summoning skill (like Leap or Berserker) is cast immediately after weapon swap, phantasm/clone is not summoned yet the skill still goes on full cooldown.
  • Reference: VIDEO
  • Using a summoning skill (like Warden) without a target will fail and showing you a “You must have an enemy targeted” message. However, if the skill is cast immediately after weapon swap, the skill will be put on full cooldown even if you don’t have a target selected.
  • Reference: VIDEO

But when it was up, you could only spend them to run the gauntlet, which was both annoying and way too time consuming. It would have taken be hundreds of hours to get through all those tickets. They need a way to just convert them into something useful, even at an exchange rage of less than a copper per ticket.
