Guild Wars 2

Why in the world would someone use their swap slots as inventory space? You cut your combat effectiveness dramatically and gain two slots that can only be filled by a few specific weapons per class. Poor tradeoff from my perspective.

Since he has an 80 and you don’t he’s going to have a big advantage with crafting materials. If he decides to go that route you won’t beat him.

The launching and racing were both disabled last time I did diessa

Getting 100% map completion doesn’t actually take you to every single explorable area, which is what the explorer achievements are measuring. Look for areas in your map that are still watercolored.

If you really don’t want to weapon swap play a dual pistol elixir engineer.

Now that you posted this the price is going to jump. Should have kept your mouth shut. Same thing happened with pitch dye last week.

tigirius.9014:

Surely that part of the game can’t be that difficult to turn on since all it really deals with is the connection between servers at any given time and they have this system in place already when it connects to overflow servers.

If it was as easy as flipping a switch it would have been in on release.

Joseph Skyrim.2470:

Actually I just had a thought. If “soulbound” stuff is linked to a character name then that would probably be an issue – and bad planning on ANet’s part. :P

Forced name changes exist, making that theory moot I think.

Shooopa.5632:

the drops aren’t scaled up to their levels.

Yes they are. After the recent buff I’m getting more high level items than low in sub-80 zones.

Is the new confirmation box still not enough to get people to double check when they’re clicking?

mulch.2586:

It’s 2000 players from all 3 servers, just 500 total per map.

How do they divide 500 by 3?

karma.8763:

Also soloing the events? yea sure with my warrior no problem, but im playing my ranger, that couldnt solo opening a door by himself.

Seems like a l2p ranger issue tbh.

Not to mention most servers are high-full at almost all times.

Try staff on your mes and GS on your guardian. Keep in mind that you will probably be limiting your effectiveness by not utilizing your swap.

Fortuna.7259:

In other words, it is because people are irritable and snippy. I’m sure they will survive.

I’m sure the poor commanders will survive a few irritated, snippy messages here and there.

You get messages because people don’t want your big blue annoying icon on their mini maps. If we could just turn off the big blue annoying icons ourselves instead of you turning your own icon off it wouldn’t be an issue.

NateDog.1385:

Max Devotion and Valor and there you go

This is probably the most expensive possible way to do it.

OP: complete fellowship, get asura or norn armor and lux or kurz armor.

What would be awesome is if we could remove a dye and convert it back into its usable form.

Lankybrit.4598:

I think of it now as a single gathering tool with so many uses until it breaks. So, 5 sickles is just really 1 sickle with 5 uses remaining. So, not combining them makes perfect sense.

Exactly

No. Think of the number like item durability rather than stack count.

Make it so when someone clicks on the icon the down player gets a message that someone is coming to save him, like when someone rezzes while at the map and it says that a kind soul is saving you. I wouldn’t like it if my name was given too since I might end up not getting there for some reason (maybe he died trying to solo a champ) and then they could start bothering me.

The best buff to your jumping skills is mesmer portal.

They are not tied to your level. They are tied to how many trait points you currently have spent. If you respec and then just spend like 5 points it’s much cheaper to respec again. I believe it’s 5cp per point.

Try getting some toughness and vitality on your gear and defensive traits if you’re on your back too much.

kiba.2768:

that’s what i meant tsukasa…that i can’t imagine you don’t have ANY of the mats needed. so that price is unrealistic unless your collection bank is depleted of all mats.

Gathering my own materials makes them free, right?

That would be a mission every 15 minutes with zero time in between. You must be really fast. Someone who has never done factions before isn’t going to come close to that. I’ve talked to people who failed for at least an hour on eternal grove alone.

Earning the favor of Dhuum doesn’t sound like something I should be striving for.

So you want more of the personal story to require (err “recommend”) a group? It’s already bad enough that you need to get a group for arah when you want to finish the story.

Only worth it if the mini Rytlock is worth $20 to you.

I would be happy if they just gave me a free Rytlock

The other stuff is worthless anyway.

Storms Fury.9307:

I look at how things can work before automatically assuming they cant and are impossible.

ArenaNet is the writer of the storyline…not you and not I so don’t speak for them. They can write the story any way they want.

If they decided they wanted write the storyline such that it would be compatible with an idea like this that is their decision and theirs alone.

Apparently I was still under the assumption that favor was still based on the status of Heroes Ascent. Honestly I am offended.

They should change it back as that degrades the “epicness” of gaining the favor of the gods.

So you want them to change their gw2 lore and the favor system implemented 5 years ago to accommodate a random player suggestion that would bring no benefit and probably a lot of whining to their new game. Epic indeed.

Nels, there is no way a new player is doing factions in 3 hours alone.

So now that you figured this out your next goal should be to not get downed by a single vulture raptor.

What if the vendor just sold generic BiS items all with the same generic skins? That way if you want a certain look you still have to go get it. Similar to GW1 where you could recreate most (all?) green weapons relatively easily minus the skin.

Dredgehaunt is the worst zone. I love going back to old zones at 80 but I got Dredgehaunt 100% and am never going back. Try going someplace less terrible if you want to find people.

Logoffski is pitiful. Especially in this game with its minimal death penalties. I am all for making people stay in game for 10+ seconds after they log to avoid stuff like this. Maybe just in pvp so people don’t whine about it in pve? Either way though I’m all for it.

Your reward for running with a guild group is not having to run with a pug. That’s really all the incentive you need.

Patu.9827:

Engineer dont have secondary weapon, but engineer has grenades etc. which are like weapons. Also timer is there.

The equip recharge on kits is fast enough that you can use a skill, swap to another kit for one skill and then swap right back. If you don’t like waiting for the weapon swap timer you might like playing an engi.

They recently buffed the rate that you get high level items from low level zones. It’s been like 50/50 for me the last few days.

Probably ele. Once you figure out how to play mes it’s pretty easy.

Also keep in mind that on 20% chance finishers the hearts always pop up even if the finisher effect doesn’t trigger. I assume this is a bug that will be fixed at some point.

Portal isn’t broken so nothing needs to be done to fix it.

Yes the chain is often bugged and whatnot. That doesn’t really apply here. The point is they didn’t remove any methods of acquisition.

Are you only talking about this in wvw? Because that changes my opinion.

You can actually get quite a few if you do the jumping puzzles each day, especially with more than one character.

see here for rates of acquisition: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Badge_of_honor

wvw armor is expensive (badge-wise) though so be prepared for a grind.

Got one from a tree using a black lion tool and one from a mob. That’s all I’ve seen in the last few days.

They were both crap.

Drop a combo field on the ground (skills that do this say so in the description). Use a combo finisher (again, listed in skill description) in the field to produce the combo effect.

see here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Combo

You get badges of honor by killing people in wvw and doing the jumping puzzles there. They work like any other token in the game.

Any npc that you need to escort for events. I try to keep swiftness on them as much as possible to speed up the event.

So that would mean if I want to get swiftness on an escort npc I would basically need to clear everyone else out of the area.

No thanks. Maybe just lower the priority of summons so you don’t hit the necro’s 5 minions.

Glitch.6849:

Actions speak louder than words buddy.

Exactly. OP’s action of begging is speaking much louder than his words of giving help in the future.
