BL Chest scrap rate?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Astral Projections.7320

Astral Projections.7320

I don’t think its 20%…

It’s close. It’s ~20%. Close enough that I round it to 20%.

Recorded values that I found was 40 scraps in 192 chests. Which came to 20.83%. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Lion_Chest/Drop_rate
This is very close to the average I’ve gotten in my runs.

Favorite HoM Guide?

Instead of a Sunspear, maybe another profession. At least till you get used to the game. A Spirit Lord Ritualist offers a lot of protection for a beginner. You can set up the spirits and move back, letting them do the work. After you are used to the game you can start using the other builds if you want.

Get all the heroes you can. You might consider getting mercenaries also, which are your level 20 characters that you can play with. The nice part about mercenaries is you can set up a group with exactly the profession combination you want. Both heroes and mercenaries can be set up with your choice of skills, armor and attributes.

Not all TV show characters are appropriate. The TV has one set of rules and ArenaNet has another. There’s no clause in there that says “but you can totally use forbidden words if they’re on South Park.”

The three-letter word at the end of your original name is not allowed. That’s all there is to it. Arguing about it here won’t help.

How in the world do you and Inculpatus know what his original account name was?

Scarlet's Legacy - "for now"

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Astral Projections.7320

Astral Projections.7320

I don’t believe Scarlet escaped. It seemed pretty final that we did kill her. The phrasing here supports that “in her final moments,” but that doesn’t mean that we know everything either. There could be points later in the story where we discover things she’s done or things she set in motion while she was still alive. Thus the ‘out of the picture for now.’

This is what I’m hoping. Flashback moments or uncovered plots is fine. But she better not have been a clone, or regenerate, or have an evil robot twin, or be resurected, or anything like that.

You do know she is a plant, right?

You can take a cutting off a plant and stick the cutting into the ground and when the new plant grows up it’s identical to the old one.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_

Hmmmm. I seem to recall my thief slicing Scarlet with her daggers and then sticking something into the ground…….

The new S2 is supposed to be for level 80s. If that means any new maps are at level 80 also then giving us a new race to level through all the old zones while all the new stuff is level 80 material would be almost cruel.

OP, you don’t ever get sent to another map as there is always at least one uncontested waypoint per map.

I hope that Slough of Despond Waypoint in Frostgorge now again works as before, that it gives you a message that you are ported to the next, but you are NOT portet since that WP is never really contested since the mobs are behind the wall and never come to the WP.

I’ve been able to port into that map to that waypoint now and get the message then that it’s contested.

BL Chest scrap rate?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Astral Projections.7320

Astral Projections.7320

Update: another 10 chests opened, I received 1 scrap (and nothing worth anything) making it 2 scraps to 40 chests~ my ratio has slightly improved!

Update 2: another 10 chests, received 3 scraps, making it 5 for 50, or 10% chance.

Yah it averages out to ~20% chance, but it’s over time.

Right now I’m averaging 10% chance, same as you. The last 40 key runs have gotten me 4 scraps. A friend I know who does them occasionally got 4 scraps with 2 keys then another scrap with 2 more keys.

But even though the last 40 runs are at 10% chance, overall I’m at ~20% because the last set of runs I did for a set of 10 scraps was much better than average. So, over time.

I don’t know if they drop from the regular coffer, but you only get one guaranteed coffer per BL chest. If that’s all you want to open the chests for, you might be better off buying coffers from the trading post at 7 to 8 silver each.

I’ve done both and maybe it’s my imagination but the mobs seem more aggressive with the orphanage one. They seem to be more likely to leave the building and to attack harder. I’m very rarely downed with the hospital one but it’s happened a couple of times with the orphanage.

That saying, the orphanage one you can attack and kill through the walls. So it’s easier that way.

[Suggestion] Lama mini in the gemshop

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Astral Projections.7320

Astral Projections.7320

IIRC, this wouldn’t the first mini to make a full collection impossible.

Thus, there is no reason to add it to the gem shop.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mini_Mr._Sparkles

A complete collection is realistically only possible for someone who has played since launch.

Mr. Sparkles was available in the Gem Store during the month of December of 2013 for anyone who bought 4000 gems in that month. If they added it once they can easily add it again.

But until they do, it’s impossible to get it.

So again, the lama does nothing that has not been done already.

You argued against putting the llama in the gem store by pointing out Mr Sparkles. I then commented he was in the gem store at one time. He may be currently unavailable but that doesn’t mean he always will be unavailable.

Using the logic of how they sold Mr Sparkles, the llama could be sold in the gem store for a month and again periodically.

A better argument against putting it in the gem store is that it’s by achievement and that selling an achievement reward in the gem store is inappropriate.

Magus Falls (New zones?)

Yes, over the entire Season 2. Not on the first day. I don’t think I am overoptimistic. I think I am right on the spot. If ArenaNet don’t deliver, they will have problems. They said Season 2 will have mostly permanent content and they will focus more on content people want. Season 1 was a lot of testing what people wanted and what worked. Season 2 will be more of a complete thing and not a testing ground.

It would be funny if ArenaNet could say if I am overoptimistic or not.

Yes, they said S1 was a lot of testing, something I know several of us kept telling people but nobody listened. So yeah, it was…. lacking…

I do expect more from S2, even new maps. Keep in mind though that just because they said “mostly permanent content and they will focus more on content people want” doesn’t necessarily mean new maps. They never distinctly said “new maps.” The initial teaser in conjunction with the datamining does imply we’ll get at least one, but other things have been datamined before that didn’t come to pass, so have to take that with a grain of salt.

Personally I’m hoping for between 3 and 5 over the course of the season, but that’s a lot of work (if you take hearts, DEs, etc into account). So, as always, I’m just kicking back, putting my feet up, and seeing where the ride takes me.

If they make new maps, they may not have hearts. The old level 70-80 maps don’t. They said the new content would be for level 80s so maybe it’s all level 80 maps.

I’ve done map tours lead by a commander, it’s actually a lot of fun when you’re in the mood for that. Especially if you have 8 level 80s and it’s a map you’ve done so many times the very thought of doing it again is tiring.

Name of a character randomly changed?

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Astral Projections.7320

Astral Projections.7320

I don’t know. Never heard of CS just changing a character’s name. Usually, you can’t log onto said character with an inappropriate name until you change its name.

Unless the OP has had to change this particular character’s name multiple times….maybe then, though, again, I’ve not read any threads about such a case.

Best bet would be to contact CS and ask about the issue.

I though it was only forced name changes till I found this. Maybe it’s new.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-naming-policy/
If a character name is reported to us and is in violation of the guidelines above, for the first offense, you will be required to rename your character upon your next login and your account may be marked and suspended pursuant to Guild Wars 2 Conduct Breaches and Outcomes. For the second offense, we will assign you a new name and your account will again be marked and suspended pursuant to Guild Wars 2 Conduct Breaches and Outcomes. We may take further action at our discretion.

So maybe he had a forced rename previously and this is the second offense.

No, it’s not possible from your side to hide your name. Possibly because of WvW and PvP where it would allow people to sneak up on others too easily and it would be difficult to tell friend from foe without a name plate.

Astral Projections.7320

Sort of depends on what OP considers time consuming. The human one you can run straight to the end section, at most 2 or 3 minutes, sometimes much less. The Norn one you have to do a task first then speak to an NPC then run to the boss, maybe 3 or 4 minutes. I think the others are similar but it’s been months to nearly 2 years.

Which starter instance is it? Someone can probably give you hints on how to do it fast.

How to Fix GW2 Economy [ranting a bit]

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Astral Projections.7320

Astral Projections.7320

If there is no more money coming in then eventually, through gold sinks and accounts with gold in the bank no longer playing, there will be an extreme deficit of gold in the economy. ANet can stave this off by 2 ways
1) eliminate all gold sinks.
2) after an account has not been logged on for a while the account is considered dead. ANet then strips the account and sends all gold and items to guild members. Accounts without a guild will have an estate sale.

The other option is to keep things the way they are now.

I haven’t examined the subject and know nothing about it, therefore I am in a position to say with authority that there are too many Dusks on the trading post.

All TP barons please email these Dusks to me forthwith and we together will combat this plague of underpriced Dusks.

Once enough money is gone from gold sinks and from money in no longer played accounts then barter will make its appearance.

What I don’t get is why I’m able to see where the people I’ve put on block list are in the game. That just takes the cake.

It’s possible to not want to even be on the same map as someone you’ve blocked. It might be someone who is stalking you for example. If you look on the map and see they are in LA, you can go to another city.
