Guild Wars 2

Actually I love the outfit concept. It’s very cool and I don’t have to fudge around with my armors and skinning.

I bought my first outfit last night (hexed). Honestly it’s the first time I even explored the feature. I like it so much I’m actually considering buying some off the gem store (gasp).

What about a minipet of LA’s costume Asura kid
“Cannibal”

GW1 Scar and Tatoo armor as either Outfits or Armor Skins

Also:

Just saying that tribal tattoo armor is already in the game.

and can’t be obtained

No matter what’s going on in my life, Christmas always comes on December 25th. Doesn’t matter if there’s a death in the family or a car accident or I got a raise or I fought off muggers. Christmas always comes.

Ever year, Christmas is pretty much the same. Some food. Same traditions. Same stupid family jokes. Every year.

Not sure why you think holiday events would be new every year. That’s said, they could have advanced the storyline. I’m guessing that because it is a story line and because there are probably as many new players as vets right now, they decided to replay it. Just a guess though.

Most games replay holiday events.

What a silly argument to make. It’s a game that we invest in with our money. Not a real holiday event which all mean different things to different people.

And it doesn’t have to be 100% new every year but come on, they reused the exact same title from previous years.

If future installments are important for new players to understand the original stuff, it’s almost obligatory that they catch up China and the new players playing the game. You can say it’s a silly argument, but it doesn’t make the argument silly.

It’s only silly if you think that most players are sitting there waiting for the new halloween story or even remember the old one. There are players in my guild who played last year who don’t even remember what happened.

It’s not like this stuff comes out every day.

You misunderstand me. It’s silly to draw comparisons to real life things and things that happen in a video game.

As for china, who cares? I thought they were starting from season 1 living story anyways?

Why does it matter what they do/don’t have? It’s not like we’re playing the same version of the game on the same servers.

They couldn’t replay an entire year and a half of living story. But they can replay a Halloween event. It really is that simple.

Holidays are independent from the Living Story.

Opened 2500 and got mine on the last 250 stack. Also opened a further 2500 to test my luck, but got nothing. RNG…

I have now opened more than 1,000 bags, no Gwynefyrdd. However, I have a whole stack of toilet paper to dry my tears.

I don’t understand why this has become such a contentious topic. The debate over RNG rewards has been done to death time and again on this forum and the consensus always seems to be that it’s not a good system.

This is no different. As far as I’ve seen no one is asking to get this mini for free, or even to not have to farm for it. All we’re asking for is a definite end point.

It could be 250 candy cobs. It could be 250 candy cobs + 1000 of each of the other Halloween materials. It could be tradeable and sold for over 1000g. But it’s still a huge difference to the system we have now because you will eventually hit the goal. At the moment someone could farm bags all day, every day for a few years and still not get the mini because that’s how random drops work.

I am actually crying right now

There are lots of reasons why the fractal thing is a bad comparison. For one the fractal thing, you can only get 1 fractal chest a day.

You claim you opened over 1 million bags.

Using your logic you should only complain about the fractal thing after you’ve opened 1 million daily fractal chests.

Your lack of logic, common sense and the density of your mind baffles me at every post.

Scroll up, read my posts and suggestions, maybe use Google translate, you seem to need it – no offense – but it feels like i’m talking to someone who doesn’t speak the same language there mate.

Using my logic, one of you lot should start a spreadsheet and record the Gwynefrydd drops vs the amount of bags opened.

Then if you want to compare it to fractals, you will have time after the patch is over when you only get one Maize Balm a day

I read what you said just fine. What is baffling is that you’re defending bad game design.

I guess you’re obligated to after supposedly opening 1mil+ bags.

And a spreadsheet isn’t needed because it’s impossible to verify peoples claims (like yours) of how many they actually opened for one.

And I don’t need to compare anything to fractals because I don’t care about fractals.

Then please proceed to cry some more, stomp your feet in a fit of rage and whatever else is appropriate.

Since your posts aren’t in my humble opinion productive, i shall ignore the noise from now on

Still wishing you good luck on your Gwynefrydd

I’m actually not crying out at all. Just pointing out glaring flaws in the logic being applied.

And I really couldn’t care less about the mini, too. But I have friends that do. Friends who don’t have the time or inclination to open 1million + bags.

Then i shall pray for their luck and if i ever get to a near mmo death experience again i will backhand slap Zommoros again in their names.

For the RNG!

Guild leader opened 1.12 million bags and finally got it :P

Opened 1.12m bags, and got:

1 Gwynefrydd
1 Black Necklace
2 Green Necklaces
3 Endless Batwing Tonics
2 Gift of Spiders
71 Zuzus
13,5k Wrappers (approx)
3 Legendary Luck

so assuming the necklaces, bat tonics, legendary luck, gifts and Gwynefrydd are on the same loot table, it was probably just bad luck on my side.

But hey, finally got it

Maybe I get something wrong and this is some kind of joke…
But where did you get these 1.12 mln bags?
Or where did you get ~67.000 gold to buy it? Or, may be, 8000(+ ~8000more) hours to grind it? Or even ~4000+ slots to store it? Share a secret. So far everything points to the fact that you.. how to put it mildly… a bit exaggerating

Buy 2 rows of 10 stacks, open, vendor yellow craftable, make cobs, save Balm & Cookies, delete rest, rinse & repeat for 3 days, the first few days were actually a profit for the resell value on cobs/zuzus/pillow cases/etc, i only started losing money the last day and a half.

But in the end i did end up in the negative by quite a bit gold wise.

The most time consuming thing especially doing this for 12h+ a day is deleting dragonite/fragments/food and especially the finishers since the names have to be typed in.

It really isn’t rocket science you know….

And how much time, approximately, takes one repeat of this “ritual”?

Until your eyes bleed, your lack of sleep makes your bones hurt and you start to see the five gods, reach your weak hand at them, to reach behind their heads for Zomorros, and back hand him so he gives you your reward.

K this made my day i can sleep happy now xD

Lets say about 250 Bags per 5sec with 160 inventory bag space near candy merchand + an other merchand for sell stuff u can open alot of bags before getting full thats how i did

I opened over 450k atm since macro are allowed u can open 250 bags in less 5 sec

Buy bags, sell stuff.

With luck u get rare items which u convert in bags again till you run out of gold

Day one cob was btw 9/10g for smart ppl which understood it we could litteraly farm for free tons of ToT

Yeah, I’m thinking the whole thing has been some sort of error.

Is there any reason why the Personal Merchant Express and Personal Trader Express summon NPCs that everyone can see but only one person can use, while the Personal Bank Access Express just privately opens the bank panel? Is it much harder to make it so that we aren’t introducing a little more grief into the game, however minor?

(The code was probably to just remove the “use flag” or whatever function is normally on the consumable version, which would explain why the bank access and hair stylist don’t summon NPCs, but it couldn’t possibly take that much time to define personal versions to just to open a merchant/trading post panel, right?)

Living Story continuation is on November 4th, and they’re being pretty silent aboout what’s involved, so I’d say save your judgement until the 4th

Everyone assumed that since the last Anniversary of Queen, objects of past updates are reintegrated, *stop insisting on the exclusivity. *

All this loses meaning when in September a patch for NEW PLAYERS appear, that in October the best rewards are only for old players.

Many people will miss the opportunity to get the most valuable Skins by Raffle draw, in addition to get “Mad Memoires”. Considering it an annual event, what is the problem reintegrating these objects?

Do not think people should miss this, everyone should have the opportunity.
This may be a reason to leave the game (for me at least).

Dragon Bash is another good point. It’s kittened that it was cancelled. Dragon Ball was one of the best mini-games in the game.

Halloween & Wintersday are just seasonal events…nothing to do with LS at all.

When you incorporate a story that progressed from 2012 to 2013, then in 2014 it just repeated itself it makes no sense! Anet said SAB was gone because it didn’t fit the LS and yet here we have the Bloody Prince introduced to us for the “first time” again, like I said, it makes no logical sense.

It makes no sense unless, I don’t know, there are a million new players in China who never saw the beginning of the story?

For all we know this game now has more new players than veterans. In fact, I think it’s likely. Which means it makes sense to help people catch up on stories.

I don’t care about China. And as for new players sure, let’s just redo the entire Scarlet story arc for their benefit if that’s what you want. Your argument makes no logical sense.

Anet actually does want to do redo season 1 with journal system. Oh and your not caring means nothing and I don’t know want didn’t make sense to you… Players not wanting to be thrust into a story they don’t know about?

I too miss the old log in screen. I remember waiting for the BW1 trouble to pass so I could get into the game for the first time and that loading screen was really cool.

cheshirefox.7026:

since we’re on the topic of cosmetics, can we please get a new forum make over..
for the love of 6 gods, what would it take them to colorize a banner..

Those would look good for the next 4 expansions.

Each one can lead to the color theme change across the game.

When the beta weekends weren’t running, I would have it open and watch it, murmuring, “Soon.” to myself.

lol

I thought I was the only one.

Well, if there were issues with it, I’m sure a lot of people would be very pleased if Anet could work on them and make the old login screen an option again. One can hope, at least…

What i remember, is that it worked just fine for me.

It would be nice if the current launcher was re-skinned to look like the old login screen, without the chroma hash. Plenty of space to add in news items as well.

Agreed – would love to see it back in all its glory!

Ooh I have almost forgot that old login-screen that gave me the feeling : This is the best! I miss that old screen and that little funny code thingy to show if you put in the wrong password

But how will you then be able to know there is a PvP tournament going on you are surely interested in every time you log in? Or read about the new offers in the Gem Store?

+1 the older login screen was gorgeous. Adding login to the launcher achieves next to nothing.

Yeah I’d rather the Old log in screen. I completely blank the current one. I too had goosebumps from it. For me it’s what set GW2 apart from the rest. The current launcher just looks like every other MMO launcher out there.

When the beta weekends weren’t running, I would have it open and watch it, murmuring, “Soon.” to myself.
