How do I not have enough Hero points??

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AdaephonDelat.3890

AdaephonDelat.3890

You need 400 points to unlock the whole elite spec (this includes skins/runes. Not sure where they are in the spec). Hero Points in the new Maguuma maps all offer 10 points per completion as opposed to the one point you get for completing a Pact Tyria point.

No HoT = Useless Guild?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: AdaephonDelat.3890

AdaephonDelat.3890

Feel free to tell me how I could have used a buff not quite finished building.

The question I need to ask is why build something that you were told was going away?

I read the following as they’re going away so use them or lose them -

1. Activate any unused 24 or 48 hour buffs for your guild before Heart of Thorns launches.

Your guild will not be able to activate any unused 24-48 hour buffs for your guild after HoT launches. Any remaining buffs following launch will not be accessible and any time remaining on an active buff will be carried over until it naturally expires. This does not include your banners and feasts which will continue to exist in the Storage tab of your guild panel.

Your guild storage is there. Anything in the queue auto-completed. Talk to the guild bank guy in LA in the same place he was yesterday.

Yes, I have my existing guild storage, that is not in question.

What I don’t seem to have (or have any use for, anymore), is the queued upgrade I paid for, for an upgrade to “Architecture”.

This upgrade was required to, subsequently, allow me to purchase a final upgrade to my bank space.

Which it now looks like I won’t be able to earn, on my own?

You have HoT, so you can earn upgrades, but you will have to get a guild hall and access the scribe trainer. Dunno about the Q’d bank upgrade. I lost anything that was not a consumable, my pendings were 24 hr buffs, and they are gone.

They specifically said to use any 24hr buffs before HoT release as they would be lost.

Hot vs Halloween

Hot vs Halloween

So it really comes down to:

Mordremoth vs Mad King Thorn

Who would win in that battle (assuming that they’d fight each other rather than ally with each other)?

Mad King Thorn hands down. I mean yeah Mordy’s all big and bad etc. but Thorn’s been terrorising Tyria regularly for the years. Also Thorn has Steve the Chainsaw Skeleton. Way cooler than Mordy’s angry plant minions that can be crispified by a couple of flame throwers.

Yep. As long as you apply the code before launch.

You want the legal reason ?

They have until tomorrow at 12:01 PST to produce raids.

Whilst you may have other reasons (and that’s your prerogative) can I just point out that raids were never promised on Day 1.

No we didn’t. What was said at the Raid reveal (think it was at PAX?) was that the first wing of the first Raid would be released a short time period after the release of the expansion to give people time to play some content and get their masteries levelled up a bit.

I believe this video will clarify a little for you

The live stream that announced raids said the first wing would be out a week or so after release and the other wings would be released after that.

what I want to be is RANGED and useful

Engineer with Rifle, Grenades and Mortar Kit. All Ranged attacks (Rifle and Grenades are mid, 900, and Mortar is long, 1200) and all useful (fields, blasts etc.).

My second question was what is the difference between a fractal and a dungeon? Never experienced a fractal.

Dungeon is a set themed area (i.e Crucible of Eternity is a Inquest lab themed with Inquesty goodness). Fractals are fragments of history (possibly the future?) with some different mechanics. Both are good fun and if you’d like to do some Fractals I’d be happy to run some with you.

In one of the blogs referring to the pact tyria masteries (specifically the mentorship one) they mentioned it would grant access to a travelling merchant who would stock items no longer available (and I think it specifically said “recipes”).

Dailies and other dismal failures

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AdaephonDelat.3890

AdaephonDelat.3890

I read people saying, “oh I can do them in X minutes” or “I do them faster now” and I see them leaving out one word, an important word in an entertainment product.

Fun

No one ever seems to say, “oh I have more fun doing them now. They’re better than the last set that way.” No, it’s always how fast I can get them over and done with. That’s the difference between the old and new sets of dailies. The old set I did while having fun. The new set is what I do before having fun. And that’s what it sounds like to me everytime someone makes a point of how quickly they can get them out of the way so they can go off and do something else. Dailies that have turned into some sort of chore to do, if you bother to do them at all, are dailies that are poorly designed.

Eh I personally found the old dailies to be a boring chore but I find these ones more fun as I get more choice.
My main reason for doing the old dailies/monthlies was laurels but now I don’t have that restriction I find I get more opportunity to do what I want. As our guild is PvX and I play PvE, sPvP and WvW depending on the day and how I/we feel then I find the new dailies fit me much better.

Do I always get the dailies done? Nope. But equally I don’t care too much about AP.

Do they sometimes give me more incentive to do certain things? Yup. I like double fractal day as it reminds that certain people in my guild need a hand with levelling up so we try to organise doing some fractals for them. I do help them with levelling anyway but it’s nice to get the bonus rewards.

So yeah for me, and I’d guess others but no promises there, I find the new dailies more “fun” subjectively just because I get more choice to do what I want and sometimes get a nice little treat from it.

Now would I change anything about the new dailies? Well yeah sure why not? Won’t affect me adversely if they did a a region or level (1 – 15, or 15 – 25 for example) event completer.

Pretty sure I'm doing it wrong..

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: AdaephonDelat.3890

AdaephonDelat.3890

So, I just started (first time in GW2).
Sylvari Mesmer (not the issue).

I just hit level 10, and I feel like I am ‘selling myself short’.

I have been holding onto Karma …in-case I need it for something much better later on…

This is a good idea as you can get some stuff for high level crafting for karma later on.

I have been holding on to every blue item I get…..in-case I can “salvage(?)” it later?

If you stroll into the Grove you can purchase salvage kits from the vendors there. Salvaging is good as you will get crafting materials you need. As an additional note there is an option in the cog to the top right of the inventory panel called “Deposit all collectibles” this will automatically deposit crafting materials into you bank.

I haven’t been buying anything. New weapons or armour. Just what I pick up.

Yeah I always advise to level off drops and save money for stuff you may need later on.

I haven’t been using any socket-items either…again..in-case.

By socket items I guess you’re talking about runes, sigils and jewels? If you pick up one that you like you can just add them to your gear (assuming it’s the appropriate level). If you have enough of the same rune you get all the bonuses for that level (so at level 10 you need to of the minor runes to get the full benefits for that rune).

Have no idea where a bank is to store anything.

Suffering the ‘new-player-overwhelmed debuff atm’

As I mentioned above you have the “deposit all collectibles” otherwise banks can be accessed from any crafting station or from the Banker NPC’s. Banker NPC’s are located in all the major cities and every starter zone.

Being sold an unfinished product..

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: AdaephonDelat.3890

AdaephonDelat.3890

So OP you’re complaining about pre purchasing because raids and legendaries wont be out at launch when we’ve know for sometime that raids and to a lesser extant legendaries would be after launch? If that’s the case I feel no pity for you. It was in your power as a consumer to make an informed decision before buying a product, not Anets.

We were told atleast three new legendaries and one raid would be there on launch.

No we didn’t. What was said at the Raid reveal (think it was at PAX?) was that the first wing of the first Raid would be released a short time period after the release of the expansion to give people time to play some content and get their masteries levelled up a bit.

I believe this video will clarify a little for you

So the game is based on grinding.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AdaephonDelat.3890

AdaephonDelat.3890

The “no grind” philosophy means a new set of gear with higher stats wont be required every time new content comes out. It was broken once when ascended gear and fractals came out, which people hated, but by now they have either gotten used to it or quit. Raids do not break it as ascended gear is not required for them.

It also doesnt mean high end cosmetic items wont be expensive.

Is HoT pay to win?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: AdaephonDelat.3890

AdaephonDelat.3890

Every other mmo raises the lvl cap with it’s expansion making anyone who buys the expansion 10 times stronger then someone who doesn’t, yet you never hear anyone mention pay to win, people think it’s normal. GW2 doesn’t do this, for very good reason, and then it’s somehow ok to expect perfect balance, because otherwise the game is pay to win?
Who are we kidding here?

It appears Speedyfox has only played free to play games before where the expansion was given to him for free. He’s never played any of the subscription or buy to play games where the player has to buy the expansion. He thinks what he is used to is the normal state of affairs for MMOs.

Yes i have never bought a game in which I have to pay to be something, if you are used to be exploited i cant do anything for you but I do not accept that, the first thing I see in a game is if I can have access to everything with my own effort, if not I go to another game, afterward I open my wallet, I do not know what it was like in GW1 or any other B2P game and it does not interest me, the purpose of GW2 was exactly that and has been for three years.

No the purpose of GW2 was to be a buy-to-play game. As in you buy the game you play it (as opposed to pay-to-play where you have to pay a subscription). Expansions are designed to be purchased and add on to that experience. The new elite specs and skills are not meant to be more powerful than the base classes (though they may seem that way at the moment but remember they are currently in BETA) but are supposed to offer a different way to play that class.

You continually state that these give you an advantage but seem to forget that to use those things you have to give up something from the base spec. If I want to run Scrapper on my Engineer I have to give up something else (explosives, firearms or alchemy) and by doing this it changes my build to something different. It doesn’t add to or improve that build.

I understand that you’ve only played F2P games which have different monetization systems and appreciate that, but if you feel that paying for an expansion is somehow a P2W scheme then I’d advise you move away from B2P MMO’s (and really stay away from P2P ones).

Best of luck in your future gaming endeavours.

Is HoT pay to win?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: AdaephonDelat.3890

AdaephonDelat.3890

yes. like every game you can buy is. You cannot win it if you don´t buy it.

seriously, this place is on the fast train through the rabbit hole…

I bought the game and want to play with equality, I’m complaining about having to pay for new skills it will unbalance the game and will transform the game in P2W, this was not the proposal of the game when it was released and remained so for 3 years,
now I feel deceived…

You’ve said you’ve played games before yet the concept of espansions having new skills is new to you. Perhaps you can tell us what MMOs you’ve played where the expansion did not make the characters stronger in some way, by increased levels or new skills or stronger old skills.

on the contrary, every game I played already launched expansions but never charged money for skills or new characters, some of which previously had monthly fees are now free to play and continue to release expansions without charging money for maps, skills and characters, of them all the one who had the most abusive cash was Rohan and for this reason i stopped playing it

Lineage 2, Aion, RF Online, Requiem, R.O.H.A.N, TERA Online

these are the ones I remember now.

all expansions, f2p or buy to play, have new skills or levels.

but do not charge for it, I said I’ve never seen a game charging for skills, and that’s what ArenaNet is doing, for all I know so far to use the new specializations (reaper, berserker, daredevil, Chronomancer…) you have to buy the expansion HoT, or am I wrong?

ALL MMO expansions, f2p or b2p, have increased abilities/skills/levels on their chars. The f2p ones don’t charge you but the games where you have to buy the expansions do. If you were playing f2p games, then no, you didn’t get charged, because they get their money another way. This is a b2p game. Its business model is, you must buy the expansion to get the new abilities.

then the GW2 community will have one player less, and as soon as the F2P players find out even less, because I refuse to pay to get advantage over the others. as I said I accept to pay to get access to new maps, new armor, weapons and other things, but pay to get advantage is unfair, pay to get access to skills and traits is unfair, not only to the F2Players, but also with those who do not intend to buy the Expansion.

Can I have your stuff?

Seems the clueless people befell this thread so far….

hy do original players have to pay $50 TWICE to get what new players will get come expansion??
It IS an issue!
Original Players: $50 for GW2 + $50 for Xpac
New Players: $50 for Xpac/ INCLUDES Original Core Game
Not fair at all to those who bough the game originally.
A Free character Slot is NOT worth the extra $50 at all.

Maybe it’s time to move on to something less money mongering.

Good Luck all.

I look at it as a discount. I think they are money mongering with the gem shop. I think that needs to go. Its offensive to pay for a B2P game and expansions, and then all the drops are in the gem shop. Its the main reason I will not buy the expansion ever.

I payed for GW2 8 months ago, I am not paying again. It’s RIDICULOUS!

So you bought the game after the expansion announcement? Then you could have got a refund.

I didn’t know about the expansion until recently. I havn’t played much and real life happens for some, more than others. Thanks

Oh, btw, you have to request the refund within 30 days of purchase. Pretty small window.
But that’s irrelevant…Read my posts above………………….. again.

Actually they offered a refund to anyone who had purchased the game between 23rd January 2015 and 16th June 2015 in anticipation for HoT.

And as has been pointed out -

Original Players: $50 for GW2 + $50 for Xpac – 3 years play time, able to play currently unplayable content (LS season 1), LS season 2 was available for free, easy access to certain skins (spinal blades/jetpack).

New Players: $50 for Xpac/ INCLUDES Original Core Game – did not have 3 years game time, unable to play stuff like LS season 1, has to purchase LS season 2, difficult to access certain skins (spinal blades/jetpack).

That’s not what they meant. People listing Living Story are not talking about season 2 and whether you get it but are talking about 3 and 4 and 5 and so on. They stated that future LS releases (season 3 etc.) would be accessible via HoT as it carries on from the end of the HoT story.

Yeas, and S1 and 2 follow on from the core game, yet you only get them for free if you log in, miss it and you have to buy on gem store.

You are not guaranteed LS S3+ just by buying HoT, just like you were not guaranteed S1/2 from buying the core game!

If you are, then S1 and 2 should not be on the gem store at all, they should be automatically added to your account!

The point is if you don’t buy HoT you don’t even get access to LS 3+ (whether it’s free or not). That’s why they’re including it.

I am still responding because I would still like a dialog on instanced raids and the revenant class.

Revenant – I enjoyed it. I have quick access to 2 heals, 6 utilities and 2 elites in combat. Something no other class has. I also have access to 10 weapon skills in combat (like all the others). By picking the weapons/legends suitable for the encounters i.e. the red boss at the start of the raid was vulnerable to condition damage so equipping mace/axe and Malyx allowed me quick easy access to condi damage whilst I could swap to Glint quickly to gain might/fury and share it with my team mates.

Q: My Group is in Verdant Brink and I just double-clicked a Teleport to Friend. Is the group subdued and not selectable?

Most likely. You will not be able to enter the new areas without the expansion.

<a href=“http://dulfy.net/2015/09/30/gw2-ascended-gear-will-be-needed-in-raids/”>"Guild Wars WikiArenanet developer Crystal Reid has tweeted out in response to some questions revealing that Ascended gear will be required for some raid bosses

The tweet states that early wing bosses can be killed with a mix of Ascended/Exotic but last boss will require full ascended. There is no agony mechanic like in fractals."</a>

Crystal clarified that tweet that Ascended is recommended not required – https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Raids-Required-Ascended/first#post5577142

Q: Will I face players in PvP and WvW, that have abilities unavailable to me in the core game?

Yes you will

Q: Will consumables that are unique in attributes to HoT be sell-able on the Trade Post and Purchasable by core gamers?

Good question, don’t know the answer though

Q: I have 10 players, we do not own HoT, can we Raid? If yes, will obstacles that put the new Elite Specializations and Mastery’s to use (as mentioned), be impassable?

No you cannot as Raids are accessed from the new maps.

Q: In the core game I enjoy a Variety of Dungeons, Fractals, World Bosses, Temples, Jumping Puzzles, etc. Will HoT players have an advantage over me by gliding over obstacles or using newer skills in such ways?

Gliding and Masteries from Maguuma (mushroom jumping etc.) are only usable in the new maps.

What are inscriptions and trophies?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: AdaephonDelat.3890

AdaephonDelat.3890

Yes I crafted the head and the shaft to make the staff but wondered why I didn’t have to use the inscription. So crude stuff doesn’t use them? Crude is the weakest type of equipment right?

I’ll sell my trophies and keep ones that may be useful for crafting.

Thank you for answering my question.

Yeah crude is the weakest. Here’s the wiki page for artificer crafting weapons – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Artificer/Novice_recipes#Weapons

You can see on the right it shows you the ingredients needed to make an item. These are the items you need to add to the discovery panel to create the recipe and the item.

Blackgate(US) and Desolation (EU) have a reputation for being the best, generally. They are good at WvW and I believe they were the first servers to nail Tequatl and TT Wurm when they were released.

It’s Blackgate not Blacktide. Blacktide is the very bottom of the EU rankings for WvW

Posted by: AdaephonDelat.3890

AdaephonDelat.3890

1. Inscriptions are items used to craft weapons. So to make a Mighty Staff (not the crude version) you need a mighty inscription, a green staff head and a green staff shaft. Combine those 3 in the discovery panel and you will be able to craft them into a Mighty Green Staff (or whatever it’s called). Artificer can also craft potions when you reach the right level/have the right materials. Have a look at the profession on the wiki to get an idea of the recipes (most of these potions are discovered in the discovery panel).

2. Trophies are junk items you get from killing critters which you can sell to vendors for some extra coin.

1. You can throw these items (as long as they’re the same rarity) into the Mystic Forge to get a sellable/salvageable piece of equipment.

2. Event’s, hearts and selling mats/trophies.

PvE and sPvP are both on megaservers (the maps/matches draw from every server in a region either EU or NA). For WvW check the current rankings for the region. The higher ranked the server the more WvW players they have.
There are no official RP servers but the two unofficial ones are Tarnished Coast (NA) or Piken Square (EU).

Racial bonuses any good late game?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AdaephonDelat.3890

AdaephonDelat.3890

I think you are confusing terms here. There are no racial bonuses. There are race specific skills. These skills are generally poorer version of regular profession skills. Race in this game is purely cosmetic with racial skills added to give them a bit more flavour/lore.

To answer the question race affects the way you look and what story you get at the start. Racial skills are unusable in sPvP and have very situational uses in PvE which can be generally overshadowed by profession specific skills or mechanics.

As such I’d advise you just pick the race based on how you want your class to look. If you want a big bruiser warrior then Charr or Norn would probably look better for you. If you want an angry armoured midget hacking peoples shins (like I did) then Asura is a better choice.

When will raids stop getting support?

Messed up the timer anyway, have to try to fix it.

It says: “are they all [raid wings] gonna be available in 2015? […]”
“No.[…] The first wing you will get some time after HoT ships. We haven’t announced it yet, but definitely long before the holidays. And the second two wings will be available early next year.”

Ohhhhhh. My bad then :-P Thanks for the clarification on that though.

The live stream that announced raids said the first wing would be out a week or so after release and the other wings would be released after that.

It just makes me a bit sad to see new developers popping up enthusiastically around here and seeing them shot down by what they might perceive as their target audience. I’m not saying to be hyped, or getting your hopes up. Just remember though that these are people though that (I think) might give you the best shot at the content you want.

It doesn’t help that he’s hyping up fractal and guild mission “revamps” when by all indications, it’s more like “reorganization.”

Also, rereading his post… he said the raid will come out after HoT launches? I was pretty sure they originally said it would come at release. And what’s coming out shortly after release isn’t even the entire raid, but only a few wings? Was something announced recently that I missed?

The live stream that announced raids said the first wing would be out a week or so after release and the other wings would be released after that.

because to me this just sad and very bad move from ANET.

Jepp… you nailed it. For you it’s a bad move.
Everyone else on that planet loves it

No, not everyone loves it. You love it. Just like he does not. And I do not. And some friends I was on skype with during the reveal do not.

It’s funny how you notice that he was a good guy and said it’s his opinion, but then you fall into that self-assuring trap he managed to avoid.

Nah Kirsch did specify “everyone on that planet”. Now I don’t want to read too much into that statement but well you get my drift…. :-P

What got me off the game was that I heard that all you can do in end game is PvP over and over again.. Is this true? Is PvE non-existent?

PvE endgame is pretty much whatever you make it. You can run dungeons and fractals. You can craft legendaries. You can join large boss fights (I’m thinking Teq and Triple Trouble not the regular critters). There also PvP elements (either sPvP (small 5 man teams) or WvW (large scale)) that people can join in with.

TL;DR: Are there any active guilds out there, preferably around the Europe timezone and server that are recruiting social players? If so please link a website if I have to apply, or tell em what server to go to I wanna get involved, but I have to start a new character and level up and stuff first before I get involved in PvP and the PvE end content..

I’m a little a biased so I’d say join Aurora Glade. With regards to guilds I’m happy to have chat about the guild I’m in if you’re interested otherwise I’d advise either checking the Looking For.. forum here or looking on the community website for the server you join.

Any class that resembles a swordsman?

AdaephonDelat.3890

Reaper only has access to the Greatsword. It sounds like you’re looking for a duel wield class which folks above have pointed out as either Warrior, Mesmer or Revenant. If you don’t mind Sword/Dagger then Ranger and Thief are very mobile classes with that combo.

Sry if im too much of a sao fan

Aha! Know what you’re looking for now. I like SAO as well so I’d say either Revenant, Sword/Dagger Ranger (3 evades with that combo) or Mesmer (one evade which is a flurry attack, a leap and one block).

Swordsman as in someone who use a sword? Yes. Warrior, Guardian, Revenant, Ranger, Thief and Mesmer all use a main hand sword. Mesmer is possibly the closest to a fencer/duelist use of sword if that’s what you’re looking for.

If you’re looking for a class that dual wields swords then Warrior, Revenant and Mesmer all do.

Unless there’s some specific definition you’re using that I’m not au fait with.
