Guild Wars 2

News flash!! You can buy gem and sell them for gold. Why do you pay to farm gold when you can pay to get gold directly? Are people addicted to farming?

All the last patch/update of gw2 have made the game harder. Trains are gone (queensdale and old frostforge) and dungeons are getting harder (some of the old tactics dont work anymore). People are quitting the game because best itens are almost impossible to buy and the best ways to make gold are being destroyed by gw2. From my usual group of friends to create a party (about 13 people), only 3 of them keep playing everyday since the last update. Im getting frustraded too and i just dont get what is the point of this.

thanks.

Don’t make Eternity. It’s cheaper to buy Eternity off the TP than it is to make it yourself (this is because a lot of players “unlocked” Sunrise & Twilight skins, then made Eternity and sold Eternity to recover some money, while keeping the unlocked Sunrise/Twilight skins).

If you would like Eternity, sell Dusk, finish up Sunrise, sell Sunrise, then buy Eternity, you will save somewhere around 1000-1500g, even after taxes, than if you make it yourself.

If you insta-sold Colossus I think it may have gone to me having bought mine yesterday :P

I just don’t get why they didn’t do what is logical – legendary should be a token of skill and dedication, not a token of dedication and luck. Seeing some player with a legendary doesn’t mean anything…

Y’know what would be fantastic? Treating the Mystic Forge as its own crafting discipline, including XP bonuses.
Or, in the very least, list the recipes we’ve discovered so we can recreate them. Not that /wiki is a huge bother, but the game should have more internal support of Zommoros’ Toilet.

Well, this marks the first account-wide upgrade I won’t be getting. XD I have 5 characters with all the crafting disciplines spread across them, so I really have no reason to unlock a third crafting discipline on them.

@Sarathiel: Technically, the whole of Season 1 was an expansion’s worth of content to… just too much of it was temporary or designed for annual festivals.

@Deceiver: we already got a dev stating that season 2 will be permanent content.

It is rather likely that everyone would get free access to S1 LS when/if the add it to the Journal.

Also, the peak condi set everyone mentions is the Warrior, but the warrior causes its condi damage at melee, not range.

Rifle. Arms.

Granted, if you’re using a rifle as a warrior, then you’re fighting one of the game’s many, many melee-hating bosses.

haviz.1340:

I don’t think anyone ever mention that but if anet ever removed condition caps (will not happen without rebuilding whole computational complexity) they would have to remove might stacks cap. And that would make direct damage dealers (which stack might much more easier than condition damage dealers) even more powerful.

They wouldnt have to do anything to might stack limits. They are not the result of an arbitrary limit put in place due to technical reasons. Stick to the topic at hand.

For those that still dont understand: 2 direct damage builds = twice the damage, 2 condi damage builds = half the damage.

OP here to clarify some stuff. I’m not advocating additional stack limits. I’m advocating a new mechanic that rewards consistency (you know, that thing that DoTs are known for) while not increasing server load.

I’ll explain the intensity idea again:

Let’s say you have 5 guardians, all applying burning. Under the current system, you get a hodgepodge of burns, interfering with each other. Under the new system, this happens:

Player 1 applies 2 burns
Player 2 applies 2 burns
Player 3 applies 2 burns
Player 4 applies 2 burns
Player 5 applies 2 burns, but the cap is 9. That 10th burn triggers “Immolated”, a new condition that ticks upward in intensity as long as it is maintained. To maintain it, the previous condition (burning) must remain capped at 9.

This rewards cooperation (keeping the stacks capped), shouldn’t increase server load (there is already something in place to discard excess stacks, and this is using the same condition trigger as the previous system), and makes condition builds MORE useful the larger the HP pool is on an enemy.

End result:
• In a small party of very few condition builds, they do their full damage without interference, and get a decent bonus if they manage to stay capped during boss fights.

•In a large group, overlapping condition users can cover each other during downtime (dodge, downed, boss mechanic, etc) to keep the stacks running and steadily increase damage over the course of the fight.

•In PvP, you would almost never cap your stacks, much less maintain a cap. This is a good thing, since condition builds are effective vs players already.

EDIT: Note that applying new stacks of burning would not increase calculations, it just resets the burn timer as usual. Immolate meanwhile only cares that burns remain capped, not the math behind them. [If Burning=9, then +1% Immolate damage per tick]

Blazing Light, because it’s done with your own skill not the skill of 50+ other people.

1. Add blood. Make the fantasy world of GW2 as dark as the concept art and not the goody two shoes we currently have. Appeal to adults with money and not 10 year olds!

I absolutely disagree. The muddy tones and darkness of most zones is already holding the game back. The art direction of this game is very narrow of view. You want the game to thrive it needs to be wider and appeal to more players. Anet should be making the game more dynamic by adding cleaner and more vivid Fantasy zones. Of which there are zero right now. The only nice zone in game was Queensdale. Of course they slapped a GTFO sign on it now. And blood, umm… that adds nothing. This isn’t some trashy hbo series.

The only thing I agree with is housing. Also, a progression system added to it so we can customize and build it up.

Folks arguing about balance and how overpowered uncapped conditions would be are missing the issue, which is:

1 zerker = 100% damage 2 zerkers = 200% damage 10 zerkers = 1000% damage
1 condi = 100% damage 2 condi = 100% damage 10 condi = 100% damage

Anet admitted the caps exists for technical limitations so arguing about balance is pointless.

No – do not remove.

Fun is completely subjective so I can’t help you there.

Ele is amazing and you can almost never have too many.
Necro is a jack of a few trades and outclassed by lots of other classes.

You missed, let’s the females wear male version of the equipment.

GW1’s player base was an almost even split, about 60/40. GW2 is probably similar. Just because YOU don’t know any women who play, doesn’t mean there aren’t any. Don’t make such dated and sexist assumptions.

Morsus.5106:

The recipe sheet can be traded, but once it’s used it’s on that one character only.

Ah, ok. Makes sense I guess given that crafting is character bound. I’ll just have to go get those recipes again for my alts.

The fee never made any sense. I would settle for free once per day or so per toon. 50 silver to craft nourishment while slowly crafting ascended weapons and armor isn’t really necessary. The 50 silver is meant to discourage something. Discourage what?

Mean to encourage you to use a different character for the other profession thus by implication, discourage one character for all purposes.

If that were the case then why have the master crafter achievement?

Huh? Master Crafter Achievement can be achieved to have all 8 crafting disciplines mastered and meant to be one to two disciplines on different characters.

I used the lvl 20 scrolls

P.S. a mini.me would be awesome.

It doesn’t have to be good… it just has to be UNIQUE to the birthday gift

/peers over glasses

You really expect them to make 4 million+ unique items?

Read the bolded and underlined part.

Unique to the birthday gift.

As in, you can’t get it anywhere else in the game besides birthday gifts.

Pretty sure we couldn’t get Queen Jennah anywhere else, and you know how well that was received.

I feel I need some backstory on this, if anyone has managed to find anything out.

Basically, this one guy has been logging in, coming into zones, every day, asking “is there a girl from Sweden?” or some variation – for months and months. Every single day.

Used to see it on Whiteside Ridge, although I don’t doubt he guested around. Now see it routinely on the EU megaservers.

I’m not going to post his name because I don’t want to turn this into a witch hunt, but its really pretty funny and/or weird.

Anyone know more?
