Guild Wars 2

Silver League!

15 characters

I’m not even on NSP btw. XD I just want them boosted to 15th place so I can kill them in Silver League.

Boost them up so they can be destroyed!

On Friday, this is a call for both Servers who face Northern Shiverpeaks, to unify and take a gigantic loss, to boost NSP up into Silver Tier and out of Bronze Tier!

Show your support for making WvWvW a more balanced and fair place, by boosting NSP into Rank #15 and pushing it out of Bronze League, up into Silver League where it belongs!

Show your support! SBI rose from 12th to 13th and changes happened to WvW!

Let’s boost NSP to 15th!

I wonder how many people realize that TA Forward Up is called TA Forward Up for a reason.

Twilight Arbor – F/U

Twilight Arbor – Kitten U

Get it yet?

Anyhow, completed it twice since the supposed stealth buff. Still pretty easy as long as you do it right, and party composition isn’t as important as people think.

However you do need good players. (They can be new to the path, as long as they are good players and understand how to listen.)

7:20 seconds, beat our own record. XD

Go, Overflow One [Teq]! I love you guys. <3

What I mean by this is the following: If you are doing something with a Guild, and suddenly your guild has 50+ players on a single map. And option should pop up asking, “Would you like to move to an empty Overflow?”

The biggest problem with both Guild Missions and Open World Bosses, is that when you have a large guild (think 200-400 players online at once.) The ability for to gather your guild together to do content becomes IMPOSSIBLE.

What this ends up doing, is causing smaller Guilds or random players, to be unable to reach the Main Map for their Server.

This serves two VERY BAD purposes:

1) It causes groups of smaller guilds to be split up, because the large guilds are trying to force their ways into the main map/overflow they are on.

2) It splits up large guilds and makes it impossible for Guilds to play together.

Last I checked this game was called “Guild” Wars 2.

Please allow Larger Guilds to create Guild specific overflows. This will clear up the normal Overflows for regular players.

This happens when you get a frozen timer. It happens every now and then on Overflow after you hit 75%, and the battle transitions into defense. So basically, you’ll have unlimited time to kill Teq. Not brag worthy, but congrats to those in your party who never beat him before.

It wasn’t a bug it was a legit kill ask every single one of our guildies….we also have the video. Don’t cheapen this with your assumptions -_-

Sorry if I was rushed in my judgment. The timer bug was happening often, so I automatically assumed.

It’s alright. That’s why we recorded it with video so we could put it up and show people it wasn’t a bugged run. Which is why we were so proud of it. XD

What about Multi Server guilds?

[Teq] Overflow One, has killed him in Overflows, 7 times now. It’ll likely be 8 kills by tonight, and 3 kills every day after that. [Edit] Yep just killed him the 8th time.

[Teq] is a mainly Ebay/BG/TC based guild, by member count. But we have players from every NA server.

If you’d like to count them as Overflow kills, feel free. We are proud of this fact.

Overflow kills: 8

No I am arguing that based on the time investment necessary to even buy (let alone actually farm like a legitimate player) is so staggeringly high to get a Legendary.

That not even in scenarios like trying to “buy your way to the top” are even remotely possible.

What I am arguing is that requiring us to not be able to use a Legendary Weapon on more than one character, will not even benefit Anet finances, because it is not even feasible that your average gamer would spend that much money on getting a Legendary for every character they own.

However, if Anet would allow us (even through a Gem Store upgrade) to “Account Bound on Use” Legendary items. Then it is highly more likely, that people would purchase said Gem Store upgrade, to be able to wield all of their Legendary items, on multiple characters — then it ever would be for them to buy enough gems to make multiple of the same Legendary for multiple characters.

By this, not only is it more reasonable for players to have “Account Bound on Use” Legendaries. It would in fact become more profitable for Anet to allow us to buy an upgrade to do this with.

So it no longer becomes a “Which is more reasonably profitable for who.” It becomes “better for both the player and company.”

I am not even asking for it for free. I am asking to be able to change every Legendary I get in game, to “Account Bound on Use.”

And if you think of it in these terms. A full set of Legendary gear for a single character = 3-4 weapons, a set of 6 armor pieces, 6 accessories (including back piece), totaling =

4 weapons
6 armor pieces
6 accessories (back included), or

16 total pieces at 2-4,000 gems an upgrade
____________________
32,000 -> 64,000 gems

That would not even be counting more than 4 weapon types, or multiple armor types (heavy, medium, light.)

Of course I would much prefer Legendaries being “Account Bound on Use” for free. But if it takes paying some small fee to be able to unlock the ability to do so, I can guarantee you most players would pay it rather than build four more of the exact same weapon for other characters.

I understand that as players, we rant about a lot. Sometimes we get overly riled up, sometimes something we want is “talked about” and then never occurs because of time constraints, or because it would be too hard to implement right away. We get mean sometimes. And sometimes we are just far too passionate about things that don’t make sense.

But at the end of the day. Guildwars 2 is a REALLY enjoyable game. It might not seem like it sometimes, but most of us I would wager really love playing this game. Everything might not be going exactly how we want it to. But we enjoy getting to hear from the Devs, we enjoy knowing that not only do they read these forums. But they feel free to respond and address issues, to let us know what little bit of what is happening that they can.

SAB was a blast. The difficultly being turned up was fun. People shied away this time because last time it was TOO rewarding, and this time it wasn’t rewarding enough. (It would have been made slightly better if instead of 2 bauble bubbles a day, we were rewarded with say 4 per Zone. Lots of us are Altoholics, what can I say? 12 Bauble Bubbles a day vs 24 Bauble Bubbles for normal mode is a huge difference. It allows you to get your skins but have a chance to not play for several days at a time.)

The Living Story being 2 weeks at a time, and being allowed to finish the first half of the month’s Living Story for the ENTIRE month is awesome. It makes things not so much of a rush, and is more enjoyable.

Anet has been making quite a lot of very key decisions, and listening to the player-base.

Please don’t shut down and stop talking to us as well. Silence is more harmful for the game than a Dev accidentally saying the wrong thing. We understand nothing is set in stone until patches or releases are live.

Besides, Josh is amazing. <3

My reasoning, is that I have the most fun playing multiple types of characters. In fact, I would probably work a lot harder (read: grind) to get different Legendaries, if I knew I could reliably play all of my characters, and not have to get them each one.

I love playing an Engineer, an Elementalist, a Thief, and recently a Warrior. Most of their main weapon types are different.

But say I decide that I’d like to play around with a Guardian for a while. I could grind 2,000 more hours to get both my Warrior or my Guardian a Legendary Greatsword, but I likely never will. Or I could borrow my Ele’s Staff and bring it over to my Guardian.

I would have more fun building the 8-9 Legendaries I would use, because I could swap them over to a new character and try playing something I normally wouldn’t. Without fearing that I would have to gear it all up with Ascended Weapons, for no reason, when I already have Legendaries (which took considerably more effort to get.)

It has nothing to do with “showing it off” but more to do with my ability to enjoy the game. Being able to take my time to get a Legendary, and then being able to share it with other characters on my account (or if I decide for some odd reason I want both a Charr Guardian, a Sylvari Guardian and a Asura Guardian) that I can be free to do so.

Thus my incentive to have 3 different Guardians (which will make me buy 3x Character Slots at 800 gems each) will be greatly heightened.

Heck. Sell me an item that turns my Legendary into “Account Bound on Use” for 4,000 gems. There you go. (4,000 × 6 (ring/necklace/earrings/backslot) + 4,000 × 18 (heavy, medium, light) = 96,000 gems to “Account Bound on Use” a full set of Legendary Armor of each type, and 1 set of all the accessories. Then each weapon costs 4,000 more each.)

At least THAT would be attainable someday. The current prices for Legendary Weapons, and then trying to figure out how to do that with Armors/Accessories now is mind numbing to the extreme.

The cost of getting a Legendary weapon alone, is tremendous. Yet they themselves remain “Soulbound of Use.”

Legendary items should be Account Bound on Use. Not “Soulbound on Use.”

Gems will cost you 50$ USD for 4,000 gems (use for reference further down)

Cost of a Legendary set of weapon for characters by amount, at 1,750g (approx.):

1 set (1 character, both slots 2 handed): 3,500g (gem -> gold conversion: 48,477 gems)
1 set (1 character, both slots 1 handed): 7,000g (gem -> gold conversion: 96,954 gems)
1 set (1 character, 2x 1 handed (slot 1), 1x 2 handed (slot 2): 5,250g (gem -> gold conversion: 72,715.5 gems)

2 sets (2 characters, both slots 2 handed): 7,000g (gem -> gold conversion: 96,954 gems)
2 sets (2 characters, both slots 1 handed): 14,000g (gem -> gold conversion: 193,908 gems)
2 sets (2 characters, 2x 1 handed (slot 1), 2x 2 handed (slot 2) 10,500g (gem -> gold conversion: 145,431 gems)

3 sets (1 character, both slots 2 handed): 10,500g (gem -> gold conversion: 145,431 gems)
3 sets (1 character, both slots 1 handed): 21,000g (gem -> gold conversion: 290,862 gems)
3 sets (1 character, 2x 1 handed (slot 1), 1x 2 handed (slot 2): 15,750g (gem -> gold conversion: 218,146.5 gems)

4 sets (1 character, both slots 2 handed): 14,000g (gem -> gold conversion: 193,908 gems)
4 sets (1 character, both slots 1 handed): 28,000g (gem -> gold conversion: 387,816 gems)
4 sets (1 character, 2x 1 handed (slot 1), 1x 2 handed (slot 2): 21,000g (gem -> gold conversion: 290,862 gems)

5 sets (1 character, both slots 2 handed): 17,500g (gem -> gold conversion: 242,385 gems)
5 sets (1 character, both slots 1 handed): 35,000g (gem -> gold conversion: 484,770 gems)
5 sets (1 character, 2x 1 handed (slot 1), 1x 2 handed (slot 2): 26,250g (gem -> gold conversion: 363,577.5 gems)

This is what happens when you decide you want Legendary weapons for more than one character. ONLY Legendary items, and this is being allowed to happen to the playerbase.

Now, wrap your head around what a full set of Legendary Weapons, Armor and Accessories and then Back Pieces, is going to cost you to continue playing GW2 if you want to reliably play more than one character.

Is this reasonable for endgame items?

Make players go into a fight, not ready to auto-attack and be done with it. But with a tiny bit of fear and trepidation. “What’s going to happen… next?”

Keep them on their toes, so if they really want to defeat it. They have to be engaged in the fight.

I am really hoping the new Tequatl (which is why I used him as an example) is more like this. And less like every other boss in the game.

crosses fingers for new Teqautl

I think Boss mobs need a sort of randomization in mechanics that is harder to predict, instead of more life.

What I mean by this is the following, think about how different players approach a class:

1) Each person does not react the same way in defense or offense (their use of skills following being attacked)
2) Some people react faster than others (call it their “human delay”)
3) Some people choose not to even use certain skills (ignoring them entirely)
4) Combo fields (give bosses unseen combo fields, and allow them to combo or even better — cause the players to combo off these fields for ill effects — IE make them stack conditions on themselves because of their actions)

Imagine if Tequatl for example, would sometimes cast spell A) when hit by a fire attack, and other times cast spell C) when hit by the same fire attack. Make the bosses reactive, and surprising.

Sometimes Tequalt would Skill #1, then Skill #9, then Skill #3. Other times he would Skill #1, then Skill #5, then Skill #8.

Have fields come down that when you use #1 skills, you suddenly have stacks of confusion, or torment and you are forced for a while to stop autoattacking and rely on your other skills. Sure it would throw people off at first, but it would make them watch for fields.

Have another combo field (that the boss lays down) when they use a Blast Finisher, it would throw THEM backward, or knock them back.

Sometimes make Tequatl’s #6 skill have a 2 second cast time. Then other times if he blasts a certain field he gains reduced cast time. So suddenly the next time Tequatl uses his #6 skill it instant casts. Because of the field in play and the buff “Reduced Cast Time.”

Have some fights where Tequatl refuses to use his skill #7 and so people relax and forget about it next time. Not expecting it and then he starts with skill #7.

Give him 10-40 sets of attack patterns. And then give him a randomizer that chooses a random set of attack patterns every 1-10 attacks.

Make the same bosses different every-time you fight them. So even if their moves are telegraphed. They feel different each time. You are never quite sure what version of Tequatl (example) that you are getting, or what you have to prepare for.

Sometimes make him cast a 10 second cast time Skill #8. And then right at the 6 second mark, make him STOP casting that spell, and then instead auto-cast Skill #3 or something else. Make him fake the players out, or change his mind mid-cast.

You could even change his CDs or cast times on spells, randomly, and right when you think you have 10 seconds to dodge his Skill #8, suddenly it just nails you without any warning.

You don’t have to make bosses have more HP. If you make them more unpredictable.

That is what dictates good players, their ability to change, adapt and to be as unpredictable as the game allows them to be.

Start making bosses truly unpredictable.

Make them have multiple mechanics, and sometimes they won’t even use certain mechanics, and other times they will spam them like their going out of style.

We need CONDITION blast fields, not just BOON blast fields. Give people something to think about when using their spells.

“Am I going to hit this bosses blast/whirl/whatever field?”

“Is my dagger-storm going to kill me or my allies when I use it?”

“If I heal now, am I going to stack confusion on myself?”

Not only this. But remove Defiant and allow players to fear bosses, to stun them and stop their attacks, to daze them and cause the boss to use a counter ability that is only even used when it has been dazed, or feared, or stunned.

Allow a fear to interrupt a crucial move from the Boss mob, but by consequence, the Boss counters by instantly killing that one (just the one who casted fear) player, or stacks 25 stacks of confusion on everyone. So that the one player can choose whether to sacrifice himself for the good of the others. You can even randomize the counter attacks. So that a player might try saving everyone by fearing the boss, and suddenly he just wipes out half the field of players in response to being feared.

Got an error while trying to post in the ERROR THREAD.

That is where we are getting it from. They were said to be larger now, but I do not see a noticeable change.

Lady in the livestream said they didn’t add/change anything of the Footfall to Bifrost. Idk maybe they did and you can’t notice it, maybe the dev posting that got it wrong. God knows.

Yeah, wasn’t saying you or the dev was wrong. Just pointed out where they posted it on the patch notes, and why people are wondering how come it wasn’t changed, when they posted that it was in the notes.

Changes to Legendary Weapons
Legendary weapons now have increased stats to keep them in line with the new ascended weapons as “best in slot” items.
Legendary weapons now have functionality to allow their inherent stat combo to be changed to any other stat combo when out of combat.

The Bifrost: Updated the effects and texture to be more detailed and vibrant, enlarged the footfall effects, and added a new projectile.

Adjusted the position of the golden arrow on Kudzu and updated the effects on the Kudzu projectile.
Meteorlogicus: Updated the texture, effects, and animations; added a day/night cycle for the effects; and added a new footfall effect.
Frostfang now has larger, more impressive footfall effects.
The Juggernaut, Bolt, Incinerator, and Rodgort now have larger footfall effects.
Quip now has more impressive footfall effects.
Updated the texture and effects on The Moot.
Updated the effects on The Minstrel to be larger, more impressive, and more frequent.
Updated the pommel on Eternity and added a unique footfall effect.
Added a new footfall effect to The Dreamer.
Added a new projectile to Frenzy.
Added a new skill effect to Howler.
Updated the effects and texture on Kraitkin.

That is where we are getting it from. They were said to be larger now, but I do not see a noticeable change.

I love how The Bifrost throws out rainbow clouds on autoattacks and most of the directional skills. XD (Kittening love it. <3)

It would be nice, even if our AoE’s don’t get affects. For the clouds on the #1 skills and the directional skills could be slightly larger.

Like even double the size they are now, or a little less than that. It would be brilliant and make them slightly more visible. (Also what happened to bigger footprints for The Bifrost?)

I honestly would have even preferred if they forced Tribulation mode to be (1 person) single player.

Why even give us the option to play with friends. If something as lame and pathetic, as a bug in the game or a connection drop can lock us out of a run with our friends.

At least with console games, it either kicked everyone out (power outage/console crashing) or didn’t kick ANYONE out.

So I am in Tribulation mode with friends, which I was thoroughly enjoying, absolutely no complaints about level of difficulty.

However —- my connection crashed as I was nearing the END of the zone. As I log back into the game, after countless deaths (using my Gem Store —- Infinite Continue Coin). I am given the option to rejoin my party in what has taken more than an hour and a half to get to.

My friends are STILL IN IT. I would compare this to having a single controller on a console stop working, and having to replace it. The GAME is still up, the power in my house is still on. My friends are still playing, but I have to replace my controller.

Except guess what. The game (both Guildwars2 and SAB) want me to pretend my friends aren’t still playing the game. That my dead controller (.01 second connection loss) is going to cause me not to be able to rejoin the game. Even if I get a new controller. (Log back into the game and get asked, “Click here to rejoin your party.”)

Except when I try to rejoin I am booted out and told, “Sorry, you can’t rejoin the instance you were just in — EVEN THOUGH IT STILL EXISTS. The game is still running! But, you are no longer welcome inside.”

And even though it asks me if I would like to rejoin my party. I get a huge slap in the face, “Sorry you wasted your time and your friends who would like to play with you, now have to go on without you or decide if they’d like to start all over again. Only to wonder if Guildwars2 is capable of keeping you inside Tribulation mode long enough for the match to end.”

Difficulty I understand. I don’t want it nerfed. I want to be able to continue playing with my friends. And not be punished just because the internet is stupid sometimes. (And decides my connection needs to drop.)

You have to have the Jade tickets on you now. Then it gives you a new dialogue allowing you to buy them.

Behellagh.1468:

You don’t find 1g+ major runes on pieces going for under 20s. You don’t find ones that consistently sell for over 5s.

So lets limit runes to 3s20c to 5s for your example.

Runes have an 80% chance with master kits.

(2266 * 0.9 + 320 to 500 * 0.8) * 0.85 – 1536/25 = 1888c to 2012c

Mats don’t add a lot to the equation. Light armor drop silk at 7c vending price and gossamer at 1s; medium armor drop thick leather at 7c vending price and hard leather at 15c; heavy armor drop mithril at 27c and orichalcum at 4s50c range. Because of that heavy armor is priced much higher than light or medium. Regardless what the description says, T6 mats drop infrequently. My last salvage run of 215 dropped only 35 T6 and 400 or so of vendor grade T5 silk and thick leather. That added on average another 20c each to the pot.

That still makes the average return around 19s70c. That makes buying light and medium armor at 20s a losing affair unless the “odds are ever in your favor”. Get a poor ecto return and the losses become noticeably larger.

Honestly say if I personally were doing this, and would only losing 30c (per item) bought? I would take a 1g (for a loss of 30c each for 333) loss to throw in 333 orders at 20s and drive everyone else out of the market. A 1g loss is tiny, and I wouldn’t even bat an eye at it if I could knock someone else off my market, and then go back to earning 1-2s+ per item after they are essentially tired of dealing with me.

You think it is a failure, because you don’t understand it. But if they are doing it correctly, even a 20g loss (say edging people out of high priced dyes) to edge people out of any market, nets a HUGE return in not having to deal with other people pushing your market.

But back to my original example. If buying 333 items at 20s will kick you out of my Rare Armor/Weapon market, and make you give up. Spending 1g is not a huge problem.

That guy however, was either rolling rares into Exotics, or rolling for a precursor. And if he gets lucky its a huge payoff for him and well worth the cost.

Yes, and they did not include any of them in the patch notes.

It WAS unfair from the beginning. I was always for us getting BOTH fractals no matter who won, so that we did not lose out on any of the content. Anet made it clear this would not happen, and yet the voting is split 52/48 and I really think they need to rethink their decision even more now.

Gene Archer.8560:

Null.9743:

Gene Archer.8560:

What’s funny is that if Evon had won, all the Evon supporters would be telling the people who wanted the Reactor Fractal to “suck it up” because “even if it was 52%, Evon won, and that’s that.”

Irrelevant. Those people saying ‘Evon won and that’s that’ would be in the wrong in this scenario.

If Evon had won by such a small margin, it would have been equally acceptable to say ANet should make Thaumanova as well. The issue here isn’t which candidate won. The issue is that the player base is split right down the middle and catering to one half but not the other is an awful decision.

Except it’s not irrelevant at all.

Where were all these posts about what’s fair before Abbadon lost? Before hand, even when it was known that only one would be made, it was nothing but: “OH MAN, WE WANT ABBADON, MAKE ABBADON, EVON NEEDS TO WIN FOR ABBADON. WHO CARES ABOUT SMELLY ASURAN REACTOR EXPLOSION 5674737, MAKE ABBADON, FORGET THE REACTOR”

But now, Abbadon has lost. And suddenly, only choosing one fractal is unfair.

Why wasn’t it unfair from the beginning? Where was all this sentiment the first time the polling stats were revealed? It’s only because Abbadon lost that this is suddenly wrong and an outrage.

If the vote was so close 52%/48% meaning that the player base is clearly split in half about the voting.

Not making the second Fractal (Abaddon) feels like a very poor choice, half of the player base (including the people on the Anet team. Even the Anet team seemed to be split in half, so even they lose out on this.) Everyone loses out apparently.

If it had been a land-slide victory, or even close to land-slide victory I could understand. But handing us a choice at two amazing Fractals, and then having the vote pretty close to even, should be cause for a second thought.

“Maybe we should make them both, that way we satisfy BOTH sides of the field. Seeing as it was a pretty dead close race.”

All I know is from now on, my hatred for Kiel can only grow.

Please let us kill Kiel at some point in the future, please let her be working for the Aetherblade Pirates so I can have my revenge.

Kiel is obviously a cheater, or someone rigged the Election for her. Being that I did not support Kiel and I am still being thanked as if I did.

So either Kiel is an idiot, or the Election was rigged!

SAB CAN I HAS NOW PLOX?

Regardless, we should not have to mass store gold on the Trading Post, simply because they are removing our only way of storing gold in our Bank vaults.

It should not be excessively hard.

UNLESS —- they are removing the Gold slot from the Vault and adding it to a Wallet, then forcing all our characters gold to automatically fall into the old “Bank Vault” gold slot. Thereby re-using the existing “Bank Vault” gold slot mechanic.

Instead of taking the appropriate time to create a new mechanic.

TL;DR —- Anet sounds like its doing it the lazy way and costing us our Bank Vault gold slot in the process, because they are not taking the time to do it right.

The largest issue I have sometimes is lag on the Trading post when trying to purchase things. Sometimes things get accidentally purchased. (And we are told repeatedly that there are no refunds for items we purchase in game off the Trading post, despite lag/delays/bugs/glitches, etc.)

Taking away a SAFE PLACE where we cannot use gold until we manually withdraw it, when making purchases anywhere in game, is a HUGE MISTAKE.

Instead of making it safer for those of us with quick fingers, lag or even people with short attention spans. You are now disabling us from our own inherent human flaws. (And everyone knows, everyone has flaws.)

The very purchase of things like Bank Accounts, is to provide a means of stability and a gated access to protect us not only from ourselves, but glitches or bugs in the game.

Please DO NOT remove the ability to deposit gold in our current Bank vault. Allow any gold we withdraw to be placed in the Wallet, and any gold we deposit to be removed from the wallet into the safety of our Banks.

Human error is abundant, allow us to keep our safe Banks where we cannot spend our own gold accidentally or be royally screwed by lag and a sometimes very buggy Trade Post. (All the patches to the Trade Post and maintenance prove how buggy it is at times.)

Please do not take our ability to deposit gold into the Bank away from us, just because you are introducing a new (and quite wonderful) feature.

Esplen.3940:

Evon is an Ash Legion charr, not a pirate.

What do you call a ship Captain, who finds lost treasure and instead of returning it, plunders it from the ship wreck and uses it to finance his own causes?

A pirate! Evon Gnashblade may be an Ash Legion, but he is also a Pirate.

ANNOUNCEMENT – 1:

Do you really want to support someone who has to take hand outs from Trahearne? Kiel’s ship is a Pact airship, given to her by Magnus with no objections from who… none other than Marshall of the Pact… Trahearne.

Do you really want your new Captain Council representative being associated with… Trahearne?

(This message paid for by the party to elect Evon Gnashblade and does not reflect the intentions of Evon Gnashblade himself, merely a few of his supporters.)

ANNOUNCEMENT – 2:

Did you know that if the Consortium were to have dealt with us directly they would have charged up to 8,000% more for their wares? Can you imagine having had to pay 64,000 Gems for an infinite Corsortium Sickle? 64,000 gems for an infinite sickle. #Vote Evon Gnashblade 2013, for keeping prices fair.

(This message paid for by the party to elect Evon Gnashblade and does not reflect the intentions of Evon Gnashblade himself, merely a few of his supporters.)

Imagine what Evon Gnashblade could do for Lion’s Arch in the Zephyr Sanctum matter!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

Do you really want to support someone who has to take hand outs from Trahearne? Kiel’s ship is a Pact airship, given to her by Magnus with no objections from who… none other than Marshall of the Pact… Trahearne.

Reason #1: Evon Gnashblade is a Pirate in the truest since of the word. He does not offer you reasonable discounts, he does not pander to the common people. Evon Gnashblade is a Pirate and refuses to settle for being a Captain only in “false rank.”

Reason #2: Evon Gnashblade is behind the effort to stop the Aetherblade Pirates, read on to find out more: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/cutthroat/Mr-E-is-Evon-Scarlet-is-Ellen/page/2#post2517837

#3: Kiel only has a ship because the Pact are allowing her to use one of their ships. Kiel is a pretender and a puppet on Magnus’s strings. Kiel is a Great Pretender!

#4: If we cannot have a Ninja on the Captain’s Council, we at least deserve a cutt-throat Pirate. Evon Gnashblade is a Pirate, through and through, we cannot have Suwash the Quaggan, we MUST have Evon Gnashblade.

#5: Kiel is neither a Pirate or a Ninja. Booo Kiel.

#6: If Kiel wins. We will lose the Abaddon Fractal and Southsun Survival forever! Do you love running around, gathering food, pop-shotting people with a 1 hit pistol, laughing at soon to be ghosts as they gather that lovely Ration for you? Vote #Gnashblade!

#7: Evon Gnashblade believes in Lion’s Arch! He may be a Pirate, a cutt-throat business man but he believes in our fair city. Not to mention have you seen the new amazing Armor skins Gnashblade just put on sale? Vote #Gnashblade 2013.

#8: #Evon Gnashblade 2013, because “Captain Kiel” just sounds like a bad captain, do you really want a person on the Council who’s name makes it sounds like at any moment she could just “keel over” and take all your good intentions to the bottom of the water depths with them? (This message paid for by the party to elect Evon Gnashblade and does not reflect the intentions of Evon Gnashblade himself, merely a few of his supporters.)

#9: Evon Gnashblade secured deals with Consortium Dealers to sell us wears that we could not find anywhere else, but at Black Lion prices. Did you know that if the Consortium were to have dealt with us directly they would have charged up to 8,000% more for their wares? Can you imagine having had to pay 64,000 Gems for an infinite Corsortium Sickle? 64,000 gems for an infinite sickle. #Vote Evon Gnashblade 2013, for keeping prices fair.

#10: If Kiel gets into office, all future deals with the Zephyr Sanctum will be secured by a woman who has no business experience what so ever. Do you really want a nobody to handle trade negotiations when she cannot even secure her own ship and has to resort to handouts from the Pact?

#11: Evon Gnashblade is a time proven business man, and what we need now more than anything is someone with a good head on their shoulders to secure reasonable deals with the Zephyr Sanctum.

#12: Evon Gnashblade is a Charr, a Charr who believes in Lion’s Arch!

#13: (Puru.4217) used Zhaitaffies in front of Ellen’s supply basket. (To vomit all over her basket. If only I had thought of that sooner myself.)

#14: (Buttercup.5871), “Evon is honest in being dishonest. And I’ve had it with the pirate stuff. My vote is with Evon. At least he’ll destroy Tyria in a cool way, I’m not too keen on nuclear explosions set off by a bunch of ugly trenchcoat-wearing pirates.”

Not sure what world you are living in, but Bronze is not perfect. You just failed hard. Perfect means you did everything right, not just some of the things.

[THERE IS NO MONOPOLY: Read On]

All the White dyes suddenly just spiked in price. (Celestial is sitting at 24g currently, White at 17g and Icing at 2.8g currently.)

Before the Celestial Gloves were released, the prices of these dyes were: 16g, 8g, and 1g.

Suddenly everyone who did not have Celestial, White or Icing dyes before the 3,000 AP Reward Chest, realized they needed a color to match their new gloves and panicked.

Thus, the price of the dye colors skyrocketed, and is now slowly crashing again.

There’s your problem. The amulet, House of the Tylos, doesn’t even exist. So unless you misread your amulet’s name (making it impossible for me to look up what type of infusion slot it has, and answer your question intelligently.)

Then you’ve got more problems than just not being able to socket your equipment. You have an item the rest of us in GW2 clearly don’t have access to.

Wfuavenger.9826:

I have worked for quite a while now and gotten all of my ascended gear from Fractals. The problem is that I have AR in my House of the Tylos Amulet slot. I bought a utility infusion (gilded) and I cannot place the infusion in it because AR is in it. It just wont let me.

In every other piece of gear in PvE you can stick a new infusion or trait in the gear even after it has one in it. You lose the existing one, but gain the new one.

Because of this situation I now have to unfairly grind again to work to get the piece I already have. Please fix the game for infusions to replace existing infusions in ascended gear like every other piece of pve gear.

Player A spends 300$ gets 0 tickets.

Player B spends 40g gets 5 tickets.

Elite: 200 oz Steak

Summons a giant 200 oz Steak. All enemies and allies within the area have six seconds to get to their plates and finish the steak. Failure to do so results in automatically being forced to pay the cost of failing to finish their meal: death.

Applies: Cripple
Field: Area of Effect knockback field that randomly pulses and pushes everyone away from it. (Stability useful.)

[Quick-Edit] I understand there are some cameras set up floating around.. but clicking on them one at a time to change view is cumber-sum and annoying. I want to be able to scroll with my WASD/Arrows keys and zoom in and out with my mouse. To seamlessly travel and follow fights, not a massive amount of clicks that make me want to give up and follow a single person around.

Spectator mode need a camera that allows us watchers to “free float” around the map, and for all intent and purposes float up into the sky.

This way we can get larger views of fights, and most of the map. So we aren’t stuck into just seeing what a single group of players is doing.

It would be far more interesting. Even if they had to make it “time delayed” so that we only saw what was happening after it happened 5, 10, 20 seconds ago.

Granted, there is one if you get it glitched to not give you someone elses view. But you can only see about 40% of the map currently and there is no option to move around in it. Which is a big problem, because honestly… spectators want to ACTUALLY spectate and watch the matches.

If you want this to be an eSport you need to not only cater to the PvPers, but you have to cater to the Spectators.

eSport PvPers don’t get paid to just fight 5v5 with no one looking at them. They get paid to draw a crowd and keep a crowd entertained. If they crowd cannot see what is happening, or sit where they want to sit (that’s why some tickets are more expensive than others) than why show up?

No you’re missing my point. Right as the new Karka Queen event went live, there was a spike in Karka Shell prices… 1-2s might not seem like much. But multiply that by 1,000s upon 1,000s of Karka Shells being traded. The demand suddenly spiked and the sellers were dumping them.

It kept going from 3s-4s (sell orders) in an insanely fast cycle. And the buy orders, for 2s 40c, were being filled by the 1,000-3,000 at a time in seconds. People were filling the buy Orders so fast, that if you dumped them as Sell Orders (for 3-4s) people would buy them up from you as fast as you could put in Buy Orders for 2s 40c.

For a good ten minutes, there was no waiting between buying at 2s 40c and selling at 3.8-4s each.

Where were you when it happened?

But all joking aside, did anyone else just see the massive Karka Shell pump and dump, people were buying Karka Shells at 3.5-4s+ so fast you could hardly keep up track. There were others selling them at 2s 40c so fast you couldn’t keep up with it.

There was literally so much flipping going on that thousands of gold must have been made in seconds.

So much money… so much.

Time for a new signature…

I know right?

That makes a bit more sense for the Passion Flower cost itself.

But people paying 24-50g for Accessories that are worse than the Ascended variety, even if certain parts are slightly harder to get than the next. Does not make as much sense.

Did people over-invest originally, do they not realize the Ascended version comes with a little work but much less of a gold cost — or both?

I’m very curious how the Passion Flower market has sustained itself, after the implementation of Ascended Accessories with the same stats.

The Passion Flower has no other real use aside from crafting the Exotic Version of this. When the Ascended Version can be obtained by doing FotM runs. (Rings.)

You can get the Earrings through the Guild Commendation vendor, and the Necklace from the Dailys (I am assuming since I have not checked just yet.)

10g (+ FotM/Daily) vs. 200-240g+

Ascended vs. Exotic

Am I missing some hidden use for Passion Flowers that makes them so valuable?

228 chests

1 Super Sceptre
3 Super Greatsword
2 Super Longbow

6 skins total from 228 chests.

Keiran.1896:

What would you do?

Personally, I’d:
- Buy all legendary weapons from TP.
- Fill my entire bank with crafting materials.
- Discover all the crafting recipes of the game.
- Discover the maximum amount of character slots.
- Buy all the expensive TP skins of the game.
- Buy all the cultural armor skins of the game.

Now you know what to do with your next million dollar!

In four very devious steps:

1) Buy every precursor in the game, and hoard them, never ever re-releasing them back into the game.

2) Buy every ecto in the entire game – EVERY time they were posted – until Ecto prices rose to 2g+

3) Sell hoarded ectos sporadically to keep my cash flow high enough to keep buying more precursors.

4) Sit back and wait until Anet finally fixes the Precursor drop mechanism’s once they realize their entire economy, for once, REALLY IS controlled by a single player.

Then when the Dev’s logged in to post a “no one single player is in control of all the Precursors/Ectos, it’s various people” — I would laugh and post screenshots of my account filled with 300,000+ Ectos and precursors…

..and say, “Orly?”
