20 levels may only be 10,900 XP, but that’s like getting a whole zone or more for free at the start. Most people get 20 levels or so buy doing a starter zone and maybe a partial of the next zone.
And where is the cut off? Can someone also post, “I leveled by map completion only. Except I used a 20 level scroll and then crafted for 20 more levels. But the rest I did with area completion and here are my numbers.” That’s just as valid as what you did.
probably, but it take 2 gold to gain 7 or 10 level through cooking. So most people probably have some level to start with. It used to be 10 level, I think they changed to 7. They might have revert it to 10 again I think. (need some confirmation).
The money involved is not the point. The point is, if someone says they did leveling only by map completion but they used a scroll to gain 20 levels to start with then they didn’t do what they set to do.

I don’t remember a queue for the districts in Guild Wars 1. What I remember is a reject and a notification saying something like “the district you are trying to join is full. Please try again later.” I remember trying repeatedly to get into a particular district.
But yes, a queue would be a good addition. Since they can do it for WvW I would think they can do it for megaservers. And add districts too for that matter.
It depends. Are you planning to do any crafting with them or just harvest to sell?
If crafting, it depends on which one. If harvest daily to sell, you can currently make a gold or two a week selling them. Right now Candy corn is 1.04 silver each, sprockets are 2.31 silver each and Quartz is 32 copper. The krait skill point is next to useless if you aren’t planning to craft with quartz.
You can make the bricks/ingots/stars to save up for later use. It does require level 450 crafting and obsidian shards as well as the thermocataclytic reagents so it isn’t free.
I’ve made a number of ascended weapons so far. If it were me in your place where you don’t know when or if you might do ascended crafting, I would get to level 450 then make enough to make a couple of sets of weapons (10 bricks/ingots/stars each). Then delete the rest. If you ever decide to make ascended gear, 10 of each is plenty to start with. You still need to make the time gated materials and you will get more T7 mats while you are doing that.
http://whois.domaintools.com/64.25.32.69 shows Austin, TX. NC interactive. Which is NCsoft, the publisher of this game. There is a glitch where the server IP shows up as yours.
After carefully considering the soulbound/account bound items in game, I have decided that someone at ANet has a soulbound fetish and is dating the person who has an account bound fetish. It’s the only way to explain some of their decisions.
It’s because the EU and NA player’s account information, along with the character information, is actually located in one of 2 places, a regional data center. One data center is in the US and one is in Europe. Since they are separate, in order to play on a different server group the whole account has to do a server transfer. Guesting, at this time, isn’t possible.
Adding my voice to this in case it was intended and isn’t a bug. It really punishes anyone for doing any underwater combat or even to cross through water. The game should not punish people for playing as intended.
It’s better the way it is now. For most people it’s easier to convert Universal time to local time than doing the same with Pacific time. Especially if they are not Americans.
And like Inculpatus said, it didn’t change the times that anything happens. You can always keep it on local time if you want.
I have my Norn necro in Winged. It’s one of the few that doesn’t make her look like she isn’t carrying an extra hundred pounds on her butt. The problem is, she looks more like a stripper than a lady. Still looking for decent appearing armor for her.
You can try guesting as well as logging in and out. It doesn’t always work and you only get 2 tries but sometimes you can get into another shard that way.
Why in the world would anyone put in a buy order for 3 × 9999.99.99 gold when the buy order below that is 497.00.01 gold? That doesn’t even look rational.
could be some billionaire / billionaires kid with tons of real life money who can just buy gems even if the ratio is terrible and still get 50.000 gold easily
and if they just want twilight and they are used to getting what they want because they can buy it and if it doesnt really make a difference on their bank account…..
why not?
Yeah. It would have to be someone with more money than sense. If they are planning to flip it, it will be a very long time to recoup that amount. You only need one for a wardrobe skin and making ascended weapons to put the skin on is cheaper. The only benefit is the switching stats part.
If y’all are actually expecting a response from a Dev I suggest you look at the other threads, see how many have red circles and calculate the odds and wait time from that. Just saying.
With 30 minutes people would still be zerging from boss to boss. With 10 minutes, I think that would make it obvious that the group needs to break up to do this. Especially since timer for gold rewards is 6 minutes. Gold for 6, silver for 8 and bronze for 10.
There is only one group of people who could get, and likely have, enough data to tell you how to get around DR, and that’s the people who write the code for the bots. Because, unlike those of us who are real players, the programmers need to determine how to get around such things, and will watch loot drops carefully so they can get the highest profit out of their business.
Real players, however, are left in the dark, being punished for actually playing.
your last line is so how very true, I can’t not say it enough. I dontlike being punished for playing a game I enjoy. :|
For me, I don’t care if other people get a chance later to get what I’ve gotten through playing the game earlier. I can see the point where it shows that they were there too but, for example, a couple of months ago someone whispered me about my Sclerite Karka Shell. I had to tell him it was unobtainable. I felt bad for him. If you want something in the game you don’t want to hear “nope, no chance for you. Maybe you’ll get something later.” People buy games with the expectation they can earn the rewards if they try, not that the rewards are unobtainable.
Another option would be to make the 5 racial cities and LA server specific maybe. Guilds could do their recruiting there and role players could find each other.
If you have the same pet with the same name in PvE and PvP then it will remember the name if you switch it out, at least it does for me.
For example, I have a bear named Howe in PvP. When I’m in PvE I normally use the fern hound and drake but if I switch to the bear it will be named Howe.
That sounds like a good idea. If the 6 bosses aren’t all dead within a set period of time, maybe 10 minutes, they all despawn. Maybe that would give people the idea they need to spread out and not all sit on one boss till it finally dies then zerg to the nest one.
If you got a reset password request that means they know all your login information. Which means it’s possible your computer is hacked. When you get home you should do a full security sweep of your computer, including checking for a keylogger. Then change your email password, your Guild Wars 2 password and you should contact support and change your Guild Wars 2 email.
Yep, it’s worthless and the restrictions on it are are so harsh as to make it pointless. I have no idea what was going through their mind when they designed it.
I was so excited to get mine as a reward for a Living Story and so disappointed after I got it. There was no wiki information to research beforehand. Mine is sitting in a mule’s inventory, quietly rotting and being worthless, pointless and disappointing.
From that thread:

MokahTGS.7850:
This is actually not a bug, it is working as intended. It is not optimal, but to save the names of all of your pets (read: all of everyone’s pets) would require another large name database that ANet did not create. Currently the pet name feature saves the name in the slot, not the pet, so changing out the pet type resets the slot name.
Perhaps someday they will change this, but it is not a bug.

This is pretty much exactly what’s going on.
Tl;dr: we may change this some day, but it’s not going to happen in the near future, and it’s not a bug.

You can only mine them once a day per account but any race can go into any home instance and mine them. My Sylvari routinely enters my human’s instance in the Salma district to mine them.
They also have a Phoenix structure in the upper levels of the Zephyr Sanctum. I didn’t look at it closely, but it looked like a large lantern in the shape of a Phoenix.
I don’t think they will bring him back. But what about Commandos? They drop down out of their helicopter and grab the offender. They take him up to the helicopter and fly off. Never to be seen again. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Going_Commando
Ok, IMO it’s not a bug but an unfortunate side effect tied to the games mechanics.
You have to ask why did they make this change in the first place.
I think they did it because there were many people carrying 2 of the same land weapon, one with bloodlust and one with some other useful sigil. There were posts in the forum recommending this. They would build up a bloodlust stack then switch to the other weapon to get the benefit of its sigil while keeping the bloodlust stack. So ANet decided to stop this by making you lose the stack if you switch to a weapon set without the sigil.
This is where the unfortunate side effect comes in. Its the weapon set you are using (the one you are actively using and it’s swap if you have one) that have to have bloodlust to retain the stack. When you go underwater you are now actively using the underwater weapons. If they don’t have bloodlust, you lose the stack.
Now if someone can come up with another theory about why they put this change in with the other balancing changes, I would be interested to read it.
It is now set up that if you switch to a weapon set that doesn’t have the sigil on it, you will lose your stack. When you go in the water you switch to underwater weapons. If one of them doesn’t have the sigil then the stack is lost.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sigil_of_Bloodlust
As a result of the April 2014 patch, the Sigil of Bloodlust — and presumably, other “stack on kill” Sigils — have been significantly degraded. If you are an Elementalist, all accumulated stacks are lost any time you change weapons, even if the new weapon has the Sigil of Bloodlust. If you carry dual weapons with Bloodlust Sigils, you no longer get two stacks for each kill. If you are a profession with weapon swap capability, you will retain your accumulated stacks only as long as one of your two weapons has the Sigil of Bloodlust.
Unless you work for anet quit stating your opinions as if they were facts. The wiki says nothing at all about whether you will lose them in underwater combat or not.
Still waiting for an official response.
“If you are a profession with weapon swap capability, you will retain your accumulated stacks only as long as one of your two weapons has the Sigil of Bloodlust”.
You will also lose the stack if you switch to a new set of weapons and the weapons you switch to do not have the sigil.
When you go underwater you switch to a new set of weapons.
It is now set up that if you switch to a weapon set that doesn’t have the sigil on it, you will lose your stack. When you go in the water you switch to underwater weapons. If one of them doesn’t have the sigil then the stack is lost.

One possibility, did you go into the water? It is now set up that if you switch to a weapon set that doesn’t have the sigil on it, you will lose your stack. When you go in the water you switch to underwater weapons. If one of them doesn’t have the sigil then the stack is lost.

I have a feeling that as soon as people get the meta, they’re out of there. I know I am. I ground if out this evening. It took a couple of hours and I promptly left. No reason to return truthfully. I feel sorry for those coming in late to this.
Mobs gain bonus exp if they are not killed for a period of time. Yellow mobs, since they don’t attack players, are more likely to be left alone and to have this bonus exp.
It was with the April 15th patch. Now If you switch to a weapon set that doesn’t have bloodlust on it, you will lose your stack. This means, intentionally or not, if your underwater weapons don’t have that sigil also when you go in the water you lose the stack because you are switching to a weapon set that doesn’t have it.

The only way to keep your stack is to have one on an underwater weapon and on a land weapon
