Guild Wars 2

http://dulfy.net/2014/02/18/gw2-spinal-blade-backpiece/ should be very useful. As for what craft is needed, you just need 500 in either tailoring, leatherwork or armorsmith. As your character is heavy armored (if I rememeber from the other thread you made about mordrem skin) you might go with amorsmith (which also allows you to craft the tons of ingots from fine back piece to ascended)

Also, as MachineManXX said, the armor is account bound so you don’t have to craft another set (if the stats are the same)… you can just pass it from the necro to the mesmer through your bank.

Ascended gear is really necessary in high levels’ fractals only, if you don’t want to waste money and mats you can gear your alts in exotic and that’s perfectly fine

Melanie.1240:

The is no basic game anymore. The Heroic edition is the “basic” version now.

O_o didn’t know that… ok sorry, my bad

I’m with JoshuaRAWR in this: I honestly don’t see any point in stating you’re LGBT&straight in the guild ad, just like you wouldn’t state that you’re black, human or from planet Earth :P

Having said that, it SHOULDN’T matter how you ad your guild in chat (except keeping it always respectful of course) and people that abused you in chat are morons (cba to search for more labels, I’m going with the basic one).

I hope you guys get my meaning (sorry for my english… sorry for my english everywhere… /meme)

http://dulfy.net/2015/01/24/gw2-heart-of-thorns-pax-south-livestream-notes/ official HoT introduction, scroll down a bit:

“Brand new legendaries and precursors will be introduced.”

I watched this while they were streaming it and can confirm they said that (there’s a couple of interviews with Colin out there, where he repeats it too) :P

just a note: the 75% off is on digital deluxe and digital heroic versions only. No idea if shiny versions @75% off is less than base game regular price :P

I don’t have any specific advice to give, except what Seal said, but, welcome!!

As the Racial storylines end at level 30, why not one of both? then you can decide which one you like the most and take him/her to 80; you should have enough character slots already.

Edit: aah nvm, Red Queen.7915 and RoseofGilead.8907 already said the same thing :P

how do you like TA’s armors? I think they’d fit with the “planty” theme

Edit: and if you’re a sylvari, cultural skins.

As there’s a cap on daily (now daily+monthly) achievement points, isn’t this request a bit “useless”? (sorry for my english, can’t find a better term for this :P)

What I mean is, we’ll get to the cap eventually, and in this the achievs differ from the BL collection achievement (which is rightfully been corrected).

I wish they’ll make the Seasonal achievements active again so I can finish the kitten interrupts :P
(as it is called already “seasonal”, I hope they do)

Geez, not another one of THOSE threads…

Ayrilana.1396:

You buy what’s listed on the box. For just about everything, if it’s not listed on the box then it’s not included.

^This.

>>It’s a bold statement to say that it’s the only game to use that format. You’ll have to provide solid evidence for this.

I said “As far as I know”.

>>Secondly I did not know they used the format of scamming people. So there is your logic down the kittenter.

I’m sorry, that’s just your opinion. A scam would be selling GW2 and then charging people to log in (for example). Living story is an ADDITION to the core game. It’s not written ANYWHERE that it should be free of charge.

>>It is a cash-in thoguh isn’kitten Unless you have no life and only ever play games all day. Even then, time is money.

Thanks for the name calling but no, I have a life and a job (and very time demanding actually), but I still manage a 10 secs login every 2 weeks.

Zombiesbum.3502:

Hang on, let me just log into my 100 or so games in my library “Just in case” there is temporary content that later becomes buy to play.

etc…

AFAIK only GW2 uses this format, so no, you don’t have to check 100+ games (I’m not debating if this is a good or bad format). Also, if you know that a company uses this format, and you think you might coming back to the game sometime in the future, keep an eye on the updates every now and then.
Anet specifically explained the format beforehand (2 weeks free etc).

As for cashing in, again, you can buy it with ingame currency, so your point is not valid (at least, not entirely, I hope you can see it).

The pay once play forever applies to the core game, in the same way that buying D3 doesn’t get you access to the expansion part of the game. again, this has been already stated multiple times, they only thing you’re missing are the LS chapters (which you can play with a friend who has them unlocked) and the achievs. The maps are there for free.

Guys, we keep repeating the same points over and over again, on both sides of the “issue”… and on multiple threads too. May we please stop bumping this? Dead horse is dead.

kthxbye

I think we have to consider our personal story as “ours” (i.e. the character per se), not as “this profession’s character” (i.e. our Ranger-necro-whatever character). Profession doesn’t have anything to do with PS.

In this way, whichever class your character is, it doensn’t break lore, and we can get new classes (revenant in this instance, and maybe more in the future).

I know they said that Rytlock is ‘the first one’ and that happens only during LS2 but I think we have to take that statement out of context: of course he’s the first because, well, we can’t be revenants just yet in game… but that doens’t mean that lorewise revenants don’t exists already.

Sorry for my english, I don’t know if you guys get what I’m saying ^^""

I think they explicitly said it’s for lvl 80 characters.

Imo, there’s no point in raising the level cap if there’s no gear progression, and GW2 (and Gw1 for that matter) is not one of “those” games.
Same thing apllies viceversa (i.e., there’s no point in gear progression if there’s no level cap update).

We don’t need added levels to keep playing, we “just” need new maps, dungeons etc… :P

Truly an AWESOME job!!!

Guys&girls, bump this until someone @Anet replies because they need to see it (and recognize it) ^^

I suggest doing the pvp dailies in a “farm” map (either skyhammer or khylo), in the custom arenas. It’s easy, fast, and doesn’t require any skill whatsoever. done that you can go back to what you like best without the “pressure” of getting your daily.

Yeah I know that’s not “real pvp”, it’s just a means to an end.

Also, +1 on more daily options (in all 3 categories) when and if the devs decide to add them.

I wouldn’t care about it. I’m not going to spend ingame currency to buy a precursor on the TP, and I’m not going to spend real money (o ingame one for that matter) if they ever put precursors in the gemstore.

/stillwaitingforthescavengerhuntnotgoingtogiveup :P

so noted.

/15chars

money sink? Isn’kitten karma sink? ._.

+1 on Drunkard title Btw, it was waaaaaay more annoying to get the title in GW1

Also, I’d LOVE to be able to play all this. HM revamped GW1 for me, A LOT (finished legendary vanquisher on 2 alts, almost 3).
It would be like being able to play it again from scratch!

How about an option, when in HM, to create an instanced, HM version of the map you are currently in with your group? That would solve the “trains” issue (there’s a max of 5 ppl per instance). Also, in the instance, mobs don’t respawn, thus allowing the implementation of the Vanquish achievement.

Same thing for story mode HM.

This said, I don’t know anything about the theoretical “costs” of setting up all this, in terms of manpower, or just even hardware/software issues (e.g. is it too “heavy on the system” to create an instance of a map X for each group that want to do so at any given moment?)

(sorry for my english :P)

check out dulfy’s guide, it may help you

http://dulfy.net/2012/12/15/gw2-bell-choir-wintersday-guide/

Come on, it’s not THAT bad you need 500 notes, until Jan 13th. If you’re rally bad at it (or your connection is, trying bell choir with lag is a veritable shot in the dark…), try:
- using only the first 4 notes, instead of all the keys
- taking the middle part, it seems easier than the other two, usually.
- just be stubborn and practice a bit (I remember it being really hard for me at the beginning, on the first year, I just kept at it and know I’m doing ok)

I think the 150 repeats of the snowball mayhem are waaay worse than the 500 notes, if only because it’ll take ages to complete.

My snow leopard is called Stelmaria… maybe-not-so-obscure reference!!

So far Capt Pigard and Lawn Moa are my favs

I log in daily and don’t feel compelled to buy something from the gem store if I don’t want to (and if I buy something, it’s characters slot when they’re on sale). I don’t see the bribe you talk about.

@Arantheal: the devs haven’t said anything about a precursor, they mention “materials”; mine was just a suggestion, to see if people would like it (but I guess not from what I see )

+1 for account bound.

Ayrilana.1396:

Account bound precursors from this would crash the market and cause all of the other ingredients for legend arises to skyrocket.

Do you really think that 1 precursor on a year worth of daily logins (which might very well be more than 1 year in actual terms, for most people) would alter the market so much? I… don’t really think so.

About the “let’s get something for doing nothing” reply: yeah we’re getting that already, so why not something that a lot of people would actually go for? :P

Hello everyone,
given: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/introducing-the-new-daily-achievement-system/
specifically where it says “materials necessary for crafting your legendary weapon (including mystic clovers)”

how would you feel about a reward chest containing a precursor of choice, as a reward for, say, 1 year worth of logins (or 6 months, or 9 or whatever)?

Personally I’d still prefer a (long and winded) scavenger hunt but… wouldn’t say no to this :P

if you have trouble with monthly events – I’m assuming you can’t get to Silverwastes because you have 593 achiev points, so maybe you’re not even 80 yet, or maybe you are but you just don’t like The silverwastes – I suggest EotM:
- zerg running around so it doesn’t matter if you’re not 80
- truckload of events
- might get the 50 wvw kills too (zerg vs zerg)

PS: EoTm at the start of the match is even easier than average because the zergs are usually still far away from each other and you can get events “for free” (AND champions, for monthly too)

If these things grieve you, why making an alt at all? Create a pvp character if that’s what you need, or use lvling tomes for pve characters.

Each character has its own story, it’s not logical for a lvl 1 character to have all the map/waypoints unlocked…

Also, personally, this is what keeps me in the game (when finished with living story stuff and cba for doing dungeons,…).

Trial and error maybe? I never even thought we had to have an explanation about it, just ran away and it worked… voilà.

but but but… he’s a troll!!! He’s supposed to do that :P

I think they’re not really supposed to be “out in the open” as the other 2 orders because, you know, spiiieeeees :P

You could also craft it

This is a non-issue unless you WANT the items NAO! The new Extractor items (for 30 crests) give you the previous LS key item with 100% chance (so, basically, it’s not random) . We now have the tendons one available, I gather in the next 2 weeks we’ll have the fangs one too, and so on.

^this, also I suggest to use it anyway (even if not trying the achiev) because the dmg output is awesome

on the contrary, as it’s waaay easier to get bandit crests than geodes, it would have driven people away even more from dry top, leaving it.. dry :P

no idea about new currency but I’m guessing no, because we’re getting another piece of the same armor (carapace). I think the devs want to keep each currency separated for each “set”, e.g. geodes for ambrite, crests for carapace etc. I could be wrong of course, we’ll see

A mote becomes active after you fail the achievement and AFTER you kill the current boss that made you fail it, from what I read somewhere in these forums (someone was complaining that he had to kill the boss instead of resetting instantly the achiev with the mote).

No, please. Imo, we already have enough “account bound” stuff (e.g. explorer tab in achievments).

Playing the current story on a character it’s not a big issue, as you can play single episodes without having played the earlier ones (that is, I can play ep.5 without having to have played eps. 1-4 in the current LS). Going through a single episode is not very taxing or time consuming, and you don’t HAVE TO play them on all your characters, if you don’t want to.

Dunno about a single LS currency (it doesn’t bother me too much, except for the inv space issue), but for sure we need them (the LS currencies) to be added in the wallet. It’s already there… it wants your crests, geodes, etc…

Space problems solved.

^ this

/blablabla15 chars

seconded! It’d be good for the ‘thirsty’ achievement too (yeah, I keybinded a double click on my mouse wheel but it’s still annoying ^^")

We already have 2-4 colour options on each piece of armor, except rare occasions… and that’s already not common in games (at least to my knowledge). Do we really need more?Personally I think we have enough.

I suggest putting up a LFG post in Open World so that ppl can taxi you in a map when he spawns.

armors are poorly done? you clearly don’t play at max res :P

I’d like to point out that Gw2 is stylistically different from WoW, you can’t really compare the two. Gw2 goes for a more “realistic” style, whereas wow goes for the cartoony/fantasy style. Personally I prefer the first over the second, but I can see people wanting the sparkles… and that’s why we have zodiac armor… and the dreamer

cooking 500, maybe? ^^ /isreallyhoping

Poor Dwayna… the other one
