Even cheaper with guild comms and WvW badges.
If it’s close to the crazy prices of he other ascended gear there will not be a reason to do it. Unless they do something drastic to separate it from the others.
Temples, Dragons and Golem give a descent amount. Everything else gives very little.
Temples and Golem with around 10 people seems to be easiest.
They should increase keep lord and and tower drops for asccended mats so we don’t have to do Dungeons and Trains.
I bet platinum is going to sky rocket when ascended jewelry crafting get’s introduced.
Any thoughts ?
I don’t know why everyone is giving him a hard time for flipping camp. “Even if this is a troll post”.
He is effectively stopping supply for a minimum of 4 minutes from each camp per flip.
This is a very effective strategy in WvW.
If you flip sentries and kill yaks your doing even more for your server.
Haveing a few people doing this in enemy BLs constantly would be great.
I’d say it’s because it has the most action. All week it’s been run people out of our bl and take everything back then what.
You fortify and hope people are there to defend. There’s a few small groups of invaders left you run out.
You go to another bl and take hills, bay and garri with no real fight.
You go to EB and hope for a fight that’s not completely one sided on either side. If you roll them too much they log and if you get rolled too much your people log.
What would you do in that situation? I bet SM would look like fun.
Even if it can’t be achieved there’s at least evidence that change was attempted. But class balance? Shadowbane had far more diverse classes and managed to be pretty well balanced overall. Was on a much larger scale than this as well.
Wow someone mentioned Shadowbane. I did like my Centaur Crusader. I’m not sure the classes were as balanced as you think. At lest in the beginning it was a rock/paper/scissors as race had specific vulnerabilities and a class could exploit that, if my memory servers me.
Last thing I remember before I quit, were hackers spawned Dragons and destroyed our city one of the last 2 on the map.

LOL One thread wanting to get rid of downed state another to make it harder to Stomp.
Maybe you missed this line “trying to keep supply lines open.” That included you scouts, running Dolys etc.
I’ve played many mmos. On PvP servers or that ones had a semblance of wvw. People have always grouped together in what they felt was a “safe” number to role everyone else.
It’s the AOE limitation that causes blobs. There would still be zergs even if there wasn’t a blob. Make it so everyone in a area gets hit but buffs still only effect 5 and the blob would stop, but not the zerg.
I don’t get the solo roamers complaining about getting zerged or people complaining about zergs. It’s world vs world. A representation of armies moving around taking keeps trying to keep supply lines open. Armies are a large number of people working in coordination.
A solo roamer or group of roamers should expect to get stomped if not hiding.
I run a p/p venom share build.
I’m not sure where you run into these perma stealth, insta death thieves at.
They just don’t build that way.
I had one of the stealth build annoying me the other day when I was on my engi. Really just an annoyance. Finally just ran way dropping bombs. My Engi is more of a support build.
I’ve also been destroyed by a power, precision, crit, 3 hit build thief. They don’t have a lot of stealth and are real easy to burn down.
I don’t recall any having to do this. People did it on pure speculation and got mad when they were wrong.
While that may be true. I just don’t see many new people being able to level tailoring very well. Once they hit cotton it’s going to be farm it all or stop.
Probably gonna take 500 pieces to make cloaks or something for ascended back items.
I personally mostly do WvW. No linen there.
I find champ trains incredibly boring and have done Queensdale one 5 times at best, and only when I am on a laptop that can’t handle WVW very well.
I’ll do the meta ones for Dragonite.
Most people speed run dungeons not a lot of scrap doing that. Once you learn a dungeon, it’s really not much different than champ trains.
I’ve been doing teq but time vs material/gold isn’t that great. What would you do in the 2 hours you have.
I had been farming linen for 2 days in the couple hours I’m online every day . Turns out that was a bug and they fixed it.
So now the only option is try and find a group clearing appropriate level dungeons ?
It has some grind but nothing near what things used to be like. I can’t even imagine how all the insta grat people would react to camping one spot for 12 hours to try and get an item. Racing to a boss on server restart only to have another 50 person guild beat you there. Whole guilds wiping and working and hour to get their gear back because it was on their body where they died and bodies would rot.
The sad thing is there needs to be ways like this to farm linen and silk.
What I’d really suggest is a way to toggle the level appropriate loot to zone appropriate loot.
Linen will run out before Silk does, I reckon. The Linen-pocalypse is imminent.
6s atm, Linen-pocalypse is upon us.
Check the price on linen, 6s atm.

Damask is required for all insignia 3 per each.
If it were 6 G it wouldn’t be an issue the Problem is you are saying spend time farming dungeons for 21 G a week to make 2 pieces. I already know you can make more than that. I’m already about to finish my 5th piece of ascended armor. I’m just saying the fact the silk costs more the the other 2 pieces is a joke.
I’ve never seen a Karma train on our server. Seen we can’t get there fast enough it’s paper. Seen they are on so and so let’s take bay. The people I’m normally running around with want to fight. The more people to fight/kill the better. How many people is a zerg anyway? Got to be at lest 30+.
Re-posting this because silk is an armor wide demand issue.
I’m not sure the price of silk is going to drop anytime in the foreseeable future .
Tailoring is double the amount total, but you are talking about 5400 silk scrap for everyone who wants heavy, medium and light armor in insignia alone. For a full set leather is 7200 silk scrap and it’s the lowest.
The 100 silk bolts for damask is just too high. I’d change damask in heavy to elonian for the components at lest to offload some of the silk stress. Then when it’s still to high change the 100 bolts of silk for damask to 50 or 75.

That will work. Don’t know how I missed ti.
I just had an Ultima online flashback
It’s broken as intended. I was on my guardian last night. I leveled her mostly through WvW, so she doesn’t have all the meta WPs. I hear Shatter will be up soon up. So I WP to one just outside the zone. and had to stand around waiting twice just to get the full affect.
I might time the run without it at all to see how much time you actually save.
Then I’m in WVW trying to catch up to a 10 to 15 man roaming group. Yeah same annoyance.
I’ve gone to 80 on everything but ele. This is by far the worst speed increase. When I can honestly say mesmer requiring a focus or engi and the constant swap of speedy kits isn’t as bad that’s saying a lot. IT may seem like QQ but when I was logging off it made me seriously debate putting more time in my Guard.
In WvW I’m always wanting to use Infiltrator’s Strike to get to my next target. The problem is Infiltrator’s Return is always up when I want to close on that next target.
Is there a way to cancel it I just can’t find other than using it.
I find all the my zerg ball dies when it runs into their zerg ball and they have more Hammer warriors threads funny. I’ve seen smaller zergs take larger ones many times.
I’m sure you can figure out how to to counter hammer zergs that CC you when you run into the middle of them.
The simple solution is don’t pay that for it. There is currently stuff for ascended listing at 300% mark up. It’s the people paying the price because they are impatient that keeps it so high.
But how many accounts quit before generating any meaningful amount of data? Most of my GW1 friends quit before reaching 500 achievement points. And 30 TB is not that much anymore. Even if they would use premium class SSDs instead of HDDs, the costs would be neglibel in comparison to other expenses of the company.
Without insight into their infrastructure you can’t make such statements. 30 TB SSD on multiple fail-safe NetApps are pretty expensive. Never forget that our data are probably stored on multiple locations (2+ at least). You can’t compare your home HDD/SSD prices with those in professional environments.
Two netapp shelves full of 600 GB 15k drives runs about 75K I think. That around 26 TB. Control unit is about another 30k. So that 26 TB is over 100k. 200k with redundancy. Before service agreements. etc.
It’s a total 36 point gain over exotics of the same type.
If all of it was power and you had 2500 power it would be 1.44%
That’s not even the case it’s 14 points for Primary so 2500 is a .56% increase.
if your secondary stat is 2000 it will get a .56% increase.
All these panties in a wad for that ?
No large company buys refurbished.
This data isn’t sitting on a PC. It’s sitting on a NetAPP or EMC etc. .
You have to keep these up to date standard policy is support skyrockets after 3 years. So you drop the money on a new system. 1 Petabyte is going to run you about a million bucks. Give or take a few hundred K. High speed networking and switches along with support contracts. Separate AC units to cool it. You got to power this stuff so generators and UPS to hold it till the generator is up and running. Salaries for guys to run this stuff.
Yeah you can just give away space it’s so cheap.
This was very easy to complete over the whole season. Took almost no effort for me to complete JPs and ruins were the only thing I did out of the normal. The reward was fine if ya didn’t OCD out on finishing it the first couple days.
Yes, I had to go out of my way for JPs and ruins, but it was easy. Now if ya killed Doylaks I feel a little sorry for ya.
I don’t understand all the complaining. The only thing that required effort was the stupid ruins and jump puzzles. For that, I had to run a few circles to finish. The rest I did in normal wvw.
Lol at all ther server trasfers.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is the real solution so simple.
Not being able to rez dowed players would cause more problems than it fixed.
Porting to the nearest owned keep would cause suicide porting. Jump off a cliff for a quick port.
Biar and Lake would be a nightmare to defend for a homeland. Invader has the upper hand.
Southgate Bay and Hills would be similar not as bad but without WP in either. It’s a quicker run from closest Boarder Waypoint.
The can’t res from dead in combat is a great idea. I can think of sneaky ways to get it done in big fights around the edges but it’s a good idea.
Think about how many times you were killed in an assault or castle/keep defence when your server won. Now picture yourself running to catch up every time. Do you really think that’s fun?
Can’t res from dead at all would get rid of a lot of the more casual people who don’t want to have to run all the way across the map.
