Guild Wars 2

I’ll be going for the Karma infusion because I mostly WvW. If I played PvE id be going for the 20% gold. I have a character I run with over 200% Magic find and I honestly have significant doubts that Magic find is legit.

The gold find will be the best for dungeons, magic find for open world. Pick the one that aligns most closely with your own activities.

Always, always, always go for gold.

The +20% gold. It is by far the most useful.

I got six precursors so far and will start working towards my my third legendary weapon. Twilight and Bolt for now. I really dont get the problem.

If you do things right, you dont even have to farm, but play the game, while the TP works for you. With a minimal daily effort you can get 20-30g a day from TP and add your ingame drops ontop of that. Whoever goes to orr to farm hours of DE for money has to rethink this boring method of waisting time. If you go there once in a while to farm T6 mats its fully enough.

@duskprice: if there werent people willing and/or able to pay 700g for a precursor, the price would skyrocket into the ground.

Things working fine, ANet. Please dont change anything.

As for casual gamers with 5-10 hours online each week: well, you are not missing anything by not having that weapon. A hobby physicist wont get published in Nature neither.

Defense (especially against a more numerous foe …) granting less rewards than capturing.

What can I say, Zommoros hates me. When I combine greens I rarely get a yellow. When I combine yellows, I rarely get an exotic. And when I do get an exotic it is a crafted version which is worth a lot less than a proper named exotic.

Some people, including me argue for winner up loser down.

Some people, including me argue for changes to the math.

Arenanet seems content though, and this is what matters most. Perhaps in March we will see something done.

I think their glicko system could work with some minor adjustments along with a ratings reset that does not simply set the ratings all to 1500.

The main problem with its current state is its a system that wants to lock servers into tiers. In the design phase the system designers made the erroneous assumption that the WvW system would be capable of reasonably balanced matchups. We are now suffering the consequences of that error.

I don’t think winner up / loser down is a good idea. It has far too much potential to screw up actual good match ups. That being said, a rating reset and a change to the rating system would be much appreciated. Give ratings a floor of 1000, and then reset t8 servers to 1100, t7 server to 1200 etc.

Well of course you can then argue youll become a hero of tyria and accomplish it all when you buy 100 000gems.

as long as no hacking/glitching involved, looks OK to me…. working as intended……

Hopefully the tone will be a bit more civil in this thread and a bit less whiney than last week. However I can already see a rather obvious issue with that >.<

A record low turnout for GH at reset, coming week is likely down to the barebones of dedicated WvW’ers as each server’s “pug” see the same matchup and assume the same outcome.

Hopefully we can rectify that, as last week’s was actually very balanced imo and having multiple weeks with same opponents should imply a closer and therefore more enjoyable tier. Most MMO’s you have same opponents for years and I think the implication that it CAN change here is actually harmful (as well as having visible scores) as if people feel outmatched they just wait for it to do so, instead of trying to fix it.

So, here’s hoping that the week can bring some positivity

Thief class needs an entire redesign. Without stealth, they’re useless. Without bursts, they’re useless.

This isn’t impossible to fix a-net, you did it years back with dervishes in the first Guild Wars.

The cloak and dagger ability is overpowered because it allows stealth off of non-living objects. A thief can sit inside a keep/tower forever, abusing the culling system that is already in place.

Re-design the ability to only proc off of living objects. Not destructables like walls, doors, and siege. I believe this will help reduce some of the culling being exploited by some thieves.

There is no counter to what they are doing now. None.

you mean you don’t think this is balanced? HOW DARE YOU?!

yeah here is the sad thing the thieves i go against are ten times worse they spam HS every chance they get and i mean every chance. And when it isnt that they are stealthed. I was in a zerg and this one really hated me because i got away from her “omgmeltfaceleetness” that in the zerg she would pop in hs me to 30% health then while everyone trys to kill her they dont even get a shot in cause right after she stealths again then rinse and repeat rinse and repeat…. this cant be right?

well let’s be honest. 2 2 2. it leaps you forward, can do 6k+ dmg. let’s tally it up.

6k… 12k… 18k… you just killed most people.

Was never any truer words said. I watched the video that video is practically everyone on yak’s bend granted i see warriors and etc. here and there but is usually groups of whole thieves etc. doing that video everywhere

you mean you don’t think this is balanced? HOW DARE YOU?!

It is getting to the point where I don’t even want to WvW anymore yeah i used to have the skill to kill anyone I was faced with. But now thieves are getting skills that pretty much perma stealths them? no matter how many times i knock them down or keep them on the ground they will just get back up and be in stealth for 10 sec+. This is not how the class is supposed to be played like this I cant even hit them? Yak’s Bend is FULL of them no one is using anything but thieves anymore in WvW on that side. Either have it like WoW’s stealth where there is 1 vanish and perma stealth or have it where you were going with it where they can only be in stealth for just seconds but having both is just rediculous its gettign to the point we need whole groups to take out 1 thief but they end up vanishing and running away not to be seen anyway so please do something about this or you won’t find me in WvW anymore and since PvE isnt established right may full on quit.

Guys with their legendaries:
Take it slow, enjoy the game. Let it happen naturally.

Translation: “I don’t want you to progress. If you do I won’t be a special little snowflake forever!!1!!”

Why does it look like nightly golem rushes is you people’s only “tactic”,and after youve done so,there is zero defending done by your side.Like last night,golem rush in EB, Sm,and grab everything else from FS ? We had our side back in under 30 m with 6 ppl vs 30 of yours,you couldnt even get in langor our last t3 tower..Then AM joined in aswell and grabbed ql while Gh was busy at our garri..Then am crashed your party and even stole our garri from you..Hold you both off and got it all back sooner then you grabbed it.Golem rushes is nice and all,but your wasting alot of money for nothing if you cannot hold anything you capture with your nightcrew when we only have 4 ppl around,it sure makes you feel all warm inside,but thats all i guess.Anyway Fs did a gj on turning it around last night with so few people vs 2 zergs.

Simple. To destroy your towers for the lolz wipe of upgrades and have a laugh. You seemed to have been doing it all week, seems you are slightly upset it happens to you.

Actually it’s the other way around,am,gh have been doing golem rushes every night,we hardly.And not upset at all,6 vs 30 and wiping them…them not being able to get langor was a great laugh for us tbh,getting it all back so easily aswell,nice try though ! Work on that defending next time since golem rushes are the only thing you guys can to waste money on,keep it up though ! Great fun.

I was not talking about Golem rushes when i said its what you have been doing.. i was talking about capping everything when little players were online.. The “30v6” was not a wipe and the numbers were a lot different that you say.. you need to get your eyes checked Surprisingly enough many of us stayed up to cap all the Blue for the lolz and then logged off after all.. this was a weekday night/morning Wasted no money at all tbh… well a lot less than all those upgrades that were torn down

Edit: More winks.

Take it out of the market. Make it a skill challenge. A solo instance that comes with a title. I want to be able to prove I didn’t exploit, flip, or buy my way to my legendary.

Then all you guys that got it early can do the same thing for the title. Prove you can actually play the game.

Collapse the precursor market. Make it crash and burn.

Do it!

I dunno, to me it looks like the market could use a proper shock, so that might not be such a bad thing lol.

Hey, another complaint thread about Legendaries. There’s already been discussion on this very topic.

Something has been bothering me for quite awhile now, in fact since it was introduced, The fact that you can now buy and sell legendaries. I really Don’t understand the logic here, since it was stated since day one that legendary items would make up a major part of “the end game” of Guild Wars 2.

What really bothers me is the fact that someone could come along, buy the game, buy enough gold either through gems or a third party site, and buy a legendary off the trading post. This means that someone completely new to the game, has no clue what their doing and has put zero effort into playing could own a legendary, essentially allowing them to BUY “the end game”. I thought the entire reasoning behind legendaries was “oh hey look at me! I put lots of time and effort into getting this shiny weapon!” Now its essentially who ever has spent the most time staring at the trading post, people who have large sums of money at their disposal, OR people who have actually played the game and put time and effort into it.

I would really love to hear the reasoning for making legendaries trade-able, and why people who have put zero effort into playing the game are allowed to have “the end game”.

Something between the original idea of what Legendaries originally meant and how they were implemented in the game went terribly wrong. They are far from being what they represent and just an asset for wealthy TP players, not adventurers.

Upcoming WvW patch = purchased waypoints will be useless.
