Guild Wars 2

Sanctum of Rall, just bought mine not sure for how much longer it will be up for, hurry __

It’s NEVER been guarenteed to work 1 out of 3…ever. Reasearch and you will find many have dumped endless globs into Big Z in hope of a clover, with no dice. It’s RNG pure and simple.

The only thing we might know for sure is that there is better success making the 1 clover recipe rather than the 10 clover one. And it’s also not as big a kick in the gut when it doesn’t succeed. Good luck in your legendary endeavours, I am also working on mine.

Map completion gets you more than you need. Have you done that? It’s also a requirement for the legendary.

“Legendaries are only a symbol of the players wallet size”, “I don’t like legendaries”, “make legendaries easier for me to get”…

Got it. And we got it with the 578 other threads JUST LIKE THIS ONE.

Jeml’s post should have shut this thread down.

Radio Isotope.3045:

No i dont think it would be in a boxed expansion because of the simple fact of they have to open the rest of Tyria like Magguma and the Krystallll Desert first. Including the Tengu starting area which like I said before is the same size as Grove, Divinity, and Rata.

And that is exactly WHY, imho, it would be in a boxed expansion. One , from a business side, it only makes sense. Two, the dev pool it’s going to take to implement that surely isn’t going o be a free monthly update. It would be an all inclusive deal, the zones and the playable race. It only makes sense. That is a great selling point, no?

I mean, if it comes out as a free update, yay for us, but I am saying I don;t think Anet is THAT accommodating with monthly updates…just saying.

There was a REALLY bad one earlier, but it’s all ghosted now, nowhere to be found. Not even a note that the thread I had commented in was deleted.

Gratz guys, love it when the community can come together like this ^__^

I think if any race will be added, it will surely be with a boxed expansion. The most likely would of course be the Tengu, but no one in the Anet camp has confirmed (nor denied in this case) our suspicions…

Overall I greatly enjoyed the activities, JP was AMAZING, and Tixx’s airship was beyond cool, even just to look at. Only let down was the skins, they were very bland, and I think maybe they shot themselves in the foot by making the Halloween ones SO AMAZING, like it’s hard to follow up with anything like that. Especially the shield and the greatsword ^__^

Indeed, Big Z is quite the tempermental guy…I got mine off 5 tries ending up with the precursor that I needed (Dusk), and I have two guildies who have tossed in over 20 sets each with no dice. One eventually got his precursor (not the one he wanted, but just sold it and bought the one he did), and the other is still trying.

I am saving the RNG Clover game for last, hoping the Balth Temple deal is worked out before then, lol.

That is great OP, don;t let the overwhelmingly bad vibe that you can see around the boards here get you down. I love the game as well, have a guild with a bunch of local old time friends, and we have a blast playing every time we log. Glad to hear there are those of us who still enjoy it.

Just ignore the nay-sayers ^__^

I am with OP, I love pugs where folks get along, and would rather run fractals like that and die 100 times, than be stuck with elites or a goup that plays like the game is a job. I have a job. TWO of them, I come into the game to have a good time.

If you look at it from their side, the business side. Do they want to severely limit people getting legendaries? Or do they want people in the game, playing it, making the gold, getting the karma, doing the jp and world map completion?

The requirements as they are, steep as they may be, are attainable by most. A long grueling quest that involves some skill and would be, at the outset, daunting to this “casual” player base would keep many away (gonna put a note here stating that I am not downing the idea of something skill based as a requisite for a legendary, I am just stating my hypothesis)

The previous wins every time because more people are gunning for it, more people in game, and a chance at having those folks buy gems to trade for gold the legit (and very well less cost effective) way.

As lvl 80, when I need to kill my daily quick, I go to Queensdale, and am done in about 10 min…I guess if someone was watching me I’d look like a robot because I know where and when the events pop off, and the nodes when they show. I never really thought of that, and now I am given pause.

Dang. But even then, its maybe 10-15 min tops. 10 hours? That would be something else entirely…

Northern Shiverpeaks, I’ve seen it only once in about 2 months.

There is also a 13 paget hread about this, check it out

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/events/Uncontested-Temple-of-Balthazar/page/13#post1195870

That makes me feel a bit better Dreamer lol. I am sure if I dumped those shards in for a 10x recipe and it failed, I’d probably shut it down for a long while lol. That would indeed be a kick in the guts, or something that rhymes.

Yeah, did mine at random wee morning hours, about an hour a day, straight jumping. Not too bad, just tedious. GL with the rest, I still need to make my clovers. You said 245-250…of what? Guessing shards…were you suing the 1 clover recipe, or 10 clover one?

Two things…as someone who is going for their own legendary with the current rules, I have no complaints (besides the karma vendor in ORR never being available, but that’s a different story)…

And two, get ready for the qq and anti-you posts, lol.

I completely agree with your entire post.

Great scythes for warriors, etc. Two handed axe.

They posted in the thread saying that it would be fixed…but, well, it broke again. 12 pages, not merged or closed, they see this. Not sure what’s taking so long for a fix. I am vexed. Terribly vexed.

Any NA servers with an uncontested temple?

Always liked your vids Storm, keep it up ^__^

There is a tiny box below the authenticate button, hit that and it “should” remember your location. Happens to me after every patch, here and in the game…

Rustypipes.6238:

You could make up a back story to your lengendary that fits around the character who is using it.

You know, be creative, use your imagination.

My advice as well.

It’s what I am doing ^_^

Oh lol, my bad, I guess it was just the way I had interpreted it. I had found while searching that even on the official GW2 wiki, it states that you don’t have to complete the jp, just discover it. Alt method works, and the Lion’s Arch queue works as well.

Know that they are 1 time use, and if you like it, why not? Do you need to have someone to tell you its ok? If it looks cool to you, who cares what we say ^__^

That, and, well, this month isn’t over. It’s the 6th (where I am at). Keep plugging away, you can do it!

It’s got is fair share of bugs, issues, and exploits, but overall, this user feels it’s still a great game. Always of the school of thought that if you didn’t like something, didn’t agree with it, and weren’t being forced to use/play it, then you could kindly take your leave and be done with it.

I’m still playing, working on making Twilight right now in fact ^__^

You had me with the title, and lost me with “WoW” lol

JK

You can tell by the Lions Arch overflow that plenty of people are still playing. I’m on Northern Shiverpeaks and it’s always a “high” pop server, but you can peep any of the others, most are doing well.

OP’s question is wholly based oneselve’s opinion, and since opinion is oneselve’s take on one such thing, discussion about it is irrelevant.

It’s a skin (for now), if you like it, and feel you want to put in the work for it, do so. If not, then do that too ^__^

In the pic you can see that I placed the Berserker’s Draconic Chest into the Mystic Forge. I have the 3 other items for the recipe as you can see at the top of the ingredient list: 5 Elonian Wine, 20 Crystals, and 50 Mystic Coins, but those last three are GREYED OUT, and I am unable to select them. This is the recipe, however the game is bugged and will not let us create the recipe.

/sign

No shame, let’s do this ^__^

Scythes and Great Scythes would be amazing, sign me up.

I am sure you guys have been inundated with this, but it needs to be said. It is a brilliant idea going to waste. Let’s make the Gem Store better ^__^

Add more items to the gem store! More variety of skins (multiples to choose from would be nice), more variety in town clothing, more interesting mini’s, just more!

Maybe bring back some skins, like the creepy face shield and chainsaw greatsword, those were huge hits.

Conncept.7638:

Aoshi.4785:

Also, Conncept.7638 I am really tired of you calling out players working towards Legendary as not having lives, or are 1% with absolutely nothing else to do.

I have TWO jobs.
I am taking 18 credit hours in college.
I have a wife.
I have a 4 year old daughter.
I own my own home.
I have two cars, and just finished a 2jz engine swap into my zenki S14 (1995 240sx)
I am the artist for an upcoming online manga.
I play anywhere from 30min to 3 hours a day, sometimes skipping a few days.

And I am crafting a legendary with the methods that have already been established. You talk about “read before you post”, maybe you should learn that just because YOU can’t/won’t do what is required to get what you want (but instead bash those that do, and beg to have the process nerfed to your liking) doesn’t mean the rest of us are going to sit around waiting for life to wash over us.

Grow up.

Do you have one yet? By your post, I would wager the answer is no. I never said anything about anybody who is working towards one; but I make no assumption in saying that anybody who has one currently either purchased it, did an obscene amount of farming, used an exploit, or got lucky.

Have you checked the price of the precursor you want yet? Better hope you get lucky and one randomly drops for you, a near impossibility at current drop rates, because it is a fact that you do not earn enough a day to beat inflation at three hours a day. You will not ever be able to get one unless you purchase gems to gold. I can work towards it too, and in 9 to 12 months I’ll have the money to buy what it costs now, except that the price will have more than quadrupled in that same amount of time. You cannot win a race where the finish-line retreats faster than you advance.

I’m not asking for it to be made easy, and if you had read my posts as you claim to have you would know that I’m okay if it takes a year of casual play to obtain, but it needs to become possible in spite of however much time it takes.

Of course I have checked the prices, daily. Why wouldn’t I? It is an integral part of the recipe, and the question is base. And I already have my precursor (begotten by crazy magical luck as it may be), so that is behind me now. When I first started towards it, it was going for 50g. Now it’s been over 500g. Not once did I complain to have the market/game adjusted to bring down the price.

No, like I have said, I am 1/2 way to my legendary. Are things going to change when I get it? Nope. I will still have been bathed in your generalizations, so therefore, that argument is also invalid.

Look, you pine for what you want to pine for, I will do the same. But when it comes to labeling folks, try to step back a bit, scale that business down, it’s doing no one any good.

I’d like to know as well. This is kind of lame. Kind of. I’ve got all the mats ready to go (have for some time now) but I am waiting until we get an official reply as to whether its fixed or not. Not really in the habit of throwing money away an all that, lol.

BUTTERBLUME.3217:

Aoshi.4785:

Yes, yes they should. Coming from a person who is 1/2 way towards crafting their own Twilight, I agree.

You are halfway there with the dusk you got from the forge with 5 tries.
Made me giggle, thanks

Glad for that ^__^

Nayru.4537:

Yeah, that’s plausible, why jump around LA looking for attention on one character when you can do it on every character! Right?

Not sure what you are getting at there buddy. I was agreeing that the Legendary and the precursors should be account bound,

A few posts above that you called for them to be soulbound, not account bound, isn’t that like asking for the same thing you were poking fun at above? Jeez. Plausible indeed, in some person’s world lol.

To get around the issue with someone getting a precursor they don’t need, maybe utilize a token/coin system, where it can be traded in for the one they need.

Yes, yes they should. Coming from a person who is 1/2 way towards crafting their own Twilight, I agree.

You have no idea how frustrating making those clovers are, lol.

But yes, that’s the beauty of it all. You CAN refuse to waste your time on making one, and it will affect you and your game ZERO. I just wish others could get around to figuring that out.

Arc.5862:

As it stands the only thing a Legendary tells you about someone at present is that they have a credit card, FOR SOME FOLKS, while others got them legitimately not that they’ve done a lot.

Fixed.

Though I do agree they should soulbound on pickup, same with legendaries. I don’t think they should be sold, but Anet had stated that it is part of the system they developed, otherwise they would be that way already.

It keeps coming back to this magic scavenger hunt. Realistically, when do you think this will be implemented? I am guessing maybe 1/2 way through 2013, or not at all. So many other things that they should be fixing, and said they wold fix, but haven’t come around to launching yet.

So, scavenger hunt is on it’s way? Good. SO what is all the QQ about again then?

I’ll keep moving along the path that is already outlined, and OBVIOUSLY working for other folks, thank you.

Grow up.

I have a theory, but it will remain that until proven true I suppose…

I tossed 5 sets of lvl 80 exotic gs unto Big Z, and on my 5th attempt, I was rewarded with Dusk.

This was AFTER Anet had made the post about being aware of the issue regarding precursors and their vow to fix it.

Fluke? Luck? Trial and error fix on Anet’s side? Who knows…

Conncept.7638, tell all the current, legit owners of Legendary weapons that the road was unreachable. Let me know what happens.

You are here, trying to be anti-elite, yet you blanket term Legendary owners as having “so little life”, like you are somehow better than them, not even knowing if they got theirs the hard way…No, you swathe them all with your broad strokes, all of us are RMT gold buyers, all the evil that is ruining this great (I said it, I really do LOVE this game) game of ours.

Seems like you are interested in getting a legendary of your own, but you fear doing the work for it, otherwise you wouldn’t be as heated about this. I do to, only difference is that I am not QQ’ing about how hard it is on the boards, I am in the game, walking the path towards it.

I am half way there, and have no plans of stopping. No need for goodbyes, I am not going anywhere.

Conncept.7638:

What is with all these people who can’t seem to read? And it’s always the same first two posts, don’t you guys ever get off? And more importantly, don’t you do any research before you spout your ill-informed opinions as facts?

Arenanet has blatantly stated, Legendaries ARE NOT supposed to be exclusively for the most hardcore players. Stop spreading this baseless lie! As stated by ANet they are meant to be a long term goal for everyone. But ANet admits they are currently unobtainable by most of the playerbase because of how much inflation outweighs gold gain for the casual player.

Arenanet has also stated that they are working to fix this, and it will be implemented, regardless of how hardcore players, gold-buyers, elitists, and market exploiters feel about it. Don’t like it? Leave. Precursors ARE getting a defined way of obtaining them, certain legendary components ARE being made easier to obtain, and inflation will be reigned in given time. Gaining a legendary will still be difficult, and time consuming, but it will actually be possible for everyone. Sorry if that makes elitists feel less special, but honestly with the terrible way you treat your fellow gamers, you deserve that and worse.

Is asking for a hand-out making you any better?

Lot’s of people just like you spouting off about “elitists are this, elitists are that”, kind of like the pot calling the kettle black. It’s all the same game, you just think you are more important, is all.

How about we all try to enjoy this game, yes? I’ll go ahead and coin a phrase I recently read…

Don’t like it? LEAVE.

Nuka Cola.8520:

to some people a wielder of a legendary weapon=/=MLG pro skills person lmao.

Oh yeah, forgot about that lol. Same with commanders ^__^

Rukia.4802:

Legendary do have higher stats afaik but not a huge increase

No they do not, not for now.

Legendary weapons are the same as exotics (for now) as far as weapon stats go. No reason why they would inately be better/more powerful that any other player geared in exotics.

Yeah, I remember complaining that Dusk was on Tp for 50g. Man, I guess those were the good ol’ days ^__^

Lol, true, strike my previous comment from the records ^__^
