I hope not, since that would trivialize the time people who actually earned it spent on it.

It was a reward purchasable during the attack on Lion’s Arch.

Doesn’t really matter, so long as the amount of effort required to get it stays the same.

I think the drop rates are decent for their worth. For now I sell them, while worth a pretty penny. I’ll buy them back later when they’re cheap.

I get roughly 1-2 per day

Too Much Jumping Required

no.. NO.. please, stop right there..

“I want to finish this game without having to play it”
That’s what this sounds like, please, no!

Jumping a command in 85% of all games. It’s a thing that is a part of a game. Jumping puzzles utilize the ability to jump, but jumping wasn’t implemented just for jumping puzzles.

I liked the idea of using events that were already there.
It makes the game a bit more vivid, plus it ads to the stuff you have to do without the pressuring the creators.
I would even say it was still on the short edge, using only local 1 minute events for this.
This can go bigger. This is a good way to expant the time required to finish a story

The crown pieces could actually have been spread more around the world. The story is level 80 anyway, so there would be no problems to even pop a piece in Orr.

Ya what Zax said the 3 Priory members have been there since the Mordremoth Arc began. They currently will serve as the go to and 101 lore people of the Maguuma Areas being that for each new Maguuma area released they will be relocated to the new area while providing lores of that new area. They currently serving as Minor Characters for the storyline now since they’re just thre to map out the Maguuma Area.

If you stick around them enough you can hear them talking to each other about their personal issues, things they discovered during their expedition, and just some funny chats sometimes.

Oh, you mean those three who are hidden between the rocks. I did see them, but didn’t they were priory xD
Guess I don’t pay enough attention to NPC’s not in the story

While I have few problems with GW2, I do feel like this is a kiddies version of the old game.
Less mechanics to build/design your fighting style (though I like the jumping and dodging)
It’s so much easier, back in gw1, one second of blinking could cost your life, here you can just spam 1 against the most "dangerous"’ bosses

Also the depth of the world, I dunno, it kinda feels blander, simplified. More child-friendly

Don’t forget Cantha, Elona and finally all the stuff Manifesto video promised.

None of that, they conveniantly put cantha in a civil war and xenophobic cleaning, plus a dragon who’s worshipped like a god by the krait is resting in the see in between. As for Elona, it’s overrun by undead whom are waging war with Kralkatorrik.

So if you want to go to cantha, we first need a campaign to calm te seas for crossing, then fight a xenophobic regime. Making that a large (civil)war and dragon war at the same time.

If you want to go to elona you will have to bypass the crystal desert full of branded into a dried wasteland of undead. (if I recall, only istan as an island and vabbi partially) have water

Orders have a nice big list of things they have to do.

Or how all three orders helped out with the Scarlet events?

Actually, yes I have, I played every living story until now and I never heard a mention of a priory team in Dry Top. Nor have I encountered them until now.

Buying gem cards via other sites

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ayakaru.6583

Ayakaru.6583

Short answer: Legit; yes, Safe; own gamble

Long answer:
You’re free to buy them anywhere. It’s your gamble wether or not they’re legit.
You see, any store can buy the cards from ANet, and activate them at the checkout. Webstores do this, too, but I personally wouldn’t trust amazon on it.
If you, like me, don’t own a creditcard, payments can be tough to make directly to ANet as they don’t allow for iDeal or similar payment options.

I’ve seen onlinekeystore sell the cards for 18 euros, but the problem is the low supply.
It’s like anet only makes a handfull each year, so legit stores usually have a really small supply each time.

In another note:
ANet wants us to buy the gem cards, yet they make them way too expensive, and third parties who can sell them at a commoners’ price only get way too few, making them sold out 90% of the time.

Character creation:
When you have a makeover kit in your bank, and you enter character creation, you can opt to activate one and access the extra creation options.
This will allow players to start with the face they like, and they wont have to wait till after the intro quest until they can create the character they want. How is that?

So, in your opinion it’s still too much?
Personally I find it the quite the right amount in balance, but that’s subject to change, I guess.

The polish for this season has been much improved over that of last, but Season 2 is in its infancy. If they’re able to maintain this level of quality throughout, some (but by no means all) of my problems with the Living Story will have been addressed. But if they lapse into the bug-ridden, filler-filled releases we got last year, then I’ll go right back to railing against the Living Story.

Agreed, partially.
I do believe that if a LS lasts for a year, a short break might be good. I’m not really fond of wintersday myself, but I do believe it’s good for the community. Otherwise halloween or dragonbash

When I am ingame 95% of the population seems to love the game.
When I am on the fora, 95% of the population absolutely despises the game.

I wont start a big discussion here, just one question on one matter.

People complain about the quantity, while the quality (in my opinion) is very good.
Sure, I finish every living story in 2 a 3 days. But that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy them. I got more stuff to do. It’s like people think that since the LS started, the rest of the game has been shut down. Heck, like the rest of their computer has shut down.
I personally play GW2 on the LS schedule, and when I finish it I go do other stuff. I have other ingame stuff to do like working for a legendary, or I got other games to play. I don’t sit in front of the PC, waiting for a forthnight’s tuesday every time..

So that’s my question (kind of) why do people think Living Story is all there is anymore?
Enjoy its quality a bit more, I like quality over quantity anytime

Skipmode for the story instances?

in Living World

Posted by: Ayakaru.6583

Ayakaru.6583

Heck, even if you do it for the first time. I don’t even dare to go into the story quests alone anymore, because the game has recently become prone to connection-loss and that doesn’t make the story more appealing. Seeing Scarlet turn evil the first time gave me goosebumps (great storywriting)
second time, meh, still cool..
I listenened taimi’s banshee wail about 7 times before I could outlive the connection loss.

For some reason the connection loss is only prone for the quest instances, rather than the open world.. weird

*Spoiler* Whose death was more impactful?

in Living World

Posted by: Ayakaru.6583

Ayakaru.6583

I wont say belinda’s deathw as very impactful, at least not yet. Maybe something will happen because marjory isn’t around to save the day.
But one thing I can say for sure is, drooburt’s death was a 0% impactful. Heck, I ain’t even even seen that name until the forums started to whine for his death, and even then, I completed the two chapters and never ran into him. So I can say this at least; if he played a role, it wasn’t important as the game progresses just fine without ever running into him.

Housing and/or guild halls

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ayakaru.6583

Ayakaru.6583

This has been a long demanding subject. So here is a suggestion:

Housing, you first by a small lot, your personal story would decide where.
Then you buy upgrades like a garden with the cactus and the spores, a lot with the other nodes etc. A crafters corner.

The guild hall would have the same, but they have to pay in influence and merits. Then, once a guild is formed they align themself with an order, (the individuals choice wont be affected) and you can then complete rivalry against other guilds with different alignment. This would lead to a noncombat GVG.

This game has been kicking me occassionally since the last patch. I’ve already excluded connection issues on my end.

The major annoying thing is, I have been stuck in scarlet’s room for a while now, the furthest I’ve gotten is the steam minotaur, thats how long I have until the game kicks me.

This would seriously be a good moment to start building a reconnect continue. When you’re losing connecting in an instance, you just continue in the instance rather than going through it all over again.

He carved dwaynas statute last. So he carved grenths statue before dwaynas statue. And he didnt have alone time with the Gods anywhere else

We don’t know if he carved Grenth’s statue.

It seems we have a second sculptor?? Please do enlighten.

As for the rest of the discussion:

“Standing before his immortal mother, Grenth claimed his place among the gods. Where his father had fallen, Grenth would rise.”

Okay. This discussion is getting awfully tengu-sided. Originally I meant there wouldnt be any races at all. The tengu has some options, but its tricky. There wont be any new races now because the new zones are all lv80. Also I doubt they would choose a race without clear gender roles, so that would rule out the skritt, the frogs, weird dolphincrawlers and the Kodan. Since these races have no gender characters.

The Dominion of Winds is already there, so any argument about a capital fitting on the map is already completely moot.

That’s the whole point. The Dominion of the Wind is the capital. So where do you wanna fight? The reason they keep their gates closed is because everything is good behind the walls and they wanna keep it that way

If they release a new race or a really big set of stuff, I would rather pay for it, than have it made through budget cutting progresses. Trust me, a low budget production isn’t going to be fun.

Problem with dominion of the wind is, if you cramp both the capital and the starter zone in there, they would both be very small. and would still be 75% water. Dominion of the wind is three large islands

I just read what I think was the fiftheenth post wether or not a new race would be playable. Often specifying even the tengu.
There will be no new race because of the following:
1) Tengu: there is no space for this. Either the capital or their starter zone would be 95% water.
2) The new zones are all lv80 zones. No new race would be introduced in lv80 zone.
3) Anet’s MO. They wouldnt release a new race without proper LS to introduce them first.

Chances of a new race on July 1st?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ayakaru.6583

Ayakaru.6583

0%
They’re opening new zones past the Maguuma that are all already confirmed as lv80 zones. So a new character couldn’t survive there.
Even if they add a new race what our options:
1) south of deldrimor
2) southwest of maguuma
3) far north shiverpeaks
4) north ascalon

The tengu are no longer a viable option because the dominion of the wind is squeezed between LA and the Grove. There is a small sector that could be a lv 1-15 zone for the tengu and that zone would be 85% underwater

Content Idea for Living Story Seasons

in Living World

Posted by: Ayakaru.6583

Ayakaru.6583

Give The Vigil, The Priory and the Order of Whispers a job board with missions. Each season of the living story add missions that support the story and release with each living story installment. This alone would help to give a little more purpose to our alignment to whatever order.

Doing these missions would reward the player with rank points. Ranking up gives the player access to rewards from the orders quartermaster. With each season of the living story release a new set of armor and weapons that can be earned from each order.
———————————
Likewise it would be really nice if with each Living Story season, a new set of armor and weapons was released for WvW, PvP and Dungeons that could ONLY be obtained through doing that content. It would give players something to work towards by playing their favorite content over and over again.

Anyways, that’s my peace.
+1 if you like this idea, comment with opinions.

Many people have given a post on such a suggestion before, including myself. ANet has yet acknowledge that they even read one such article. i dont have much hope for it. The orders were forgotten almost immideatly after you join one.
I’ll +1 this anyway, maybe then ANet will see it.

The original post I ofered had mission ideas
Search and Destroy
Escort
Recover
etc, similars, randomly assigned. completing them gives you favor of the order depending on how well you finished them.
Favor would be either a currency or something to unlock merchants/better missions/titles

Ah yes, I see.
That post had a similar idea. Only summarized in 3 lines :p
Still, if more people talk about it and come with ideas, it raises the hope ANET will notice and do something with it

Getting the order moving; Idea

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Ayakaru.6583

Escort
Escort a certain unit to or from a location, or back and forth.
When the unit dies it’s game over (no reviving)
If you escort a group, reward is based on succes percentage

Recover
Enter hostile area and recover an item. This item functions as a bundle, so the carrier cannot fight. Item can be destroyed if carrier dies. Enemies can use special weapons to attack you (like catapults and traps)

Hold
A location is under attack. protect the base and the people in it. As enemies infiltrate the base and kill the things/people you protect your reward decreases.

Search and Destroy
Enter a hostile area to either destroy that area (by planting bombs) or to destroy something in it (like a document or construct)

Infiltration/Assassination
Enter a hostile area, functions like an interactive jumping puzzle. Get to the end of a hostile area without getting caught in traps or drawn aggro by enemies. At the end, quickly dispatch of a boss before he can sound alarm

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Ayakaru.6583

The orders where prehyped in the early part of the game, and later almost completely forgotten about.
So I had an idea that would make the orders involved in PvE again;

Missions!
Go to your base whichever of the three that is, and complete missions for your order. They will be hard to complete and require a small party in an instanced area. Talk to an order representative to enter the instanced area

Types of missions:
-Escort
-Recover
-Hold
-Search and Destroy
-Infiltration/Assassination

Each order will give one mission every day. They will be hard to complete, so you will need at least 2-3 people. Other people may be of other orders so long as the initiator is of the right order.
Every order has a preference for how each mission goes.

Rewards will include up to 50s-2g depending on difficulty. A box of recovered equipment/materials and an Order’s Insignia, which serves as a payment for exclusive items.

other than that you can also complete events in areas affiliated for an order to build up “Influence Points” with your order. Everytime you rank for your order you get a new NPC unlocked for you, and more difficult missions. Also, say there would be 10 ranks, rank 3, 8 and 10 would also include a skill for your order.

Tell me what you think of this, any suggestions/alterations and hope ANet reads this

GW2 Hard Mode : How to make it work

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ayakaru.6583

Ayakaru.6583

my thought was; once level 80 you can opt somewhere to open Hard Mode. It does nothing for your surroundings, but rather gives you a debuff:
- Endurance halves recovery speed
- Crit chance is reduced by 33%
- Health and healing is reduced by 33%
- You are more susceptible to conditions
- You have an increased aggro (enemies from a greater distance will more likely target you)

pros:
- gold drop is increased by 5% up to 50copper per drop
- magic find is boosted by 25%
- Exp is increased by 10%

In my opinion, the weapon is powerful, but since it is a weapon you normaly acuire and use within set peremiters, you are staying within the borders Anet gives you. If the borders are mishapen, then that’s their problem. You use a weapon they gave you. End of story

Critical: Unresponsive Skill Bar

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Ayakaru.6583

Ayakaru.6583

last week for the fifth time;
Playing the game, and all of a sudden my character decides I don’t need skills. I ram
1-0 keys, but nothing happens, I click them with the mouse, no difference. The icons flash from being selected, but without and error or anything, just nothing happens. Clicking the arrow to change the skills is also unresponsive; menu opens, I select new skill, but old skill remains on the bar.

The only cure apaprantly is downing or rebooting. This completely absoletes the player from the game and can therefore be seen as a critical problem.

EDIT: I wasn’t interacting with stuff at the time. Just standing at the side of the area waiting for the Fire Ele to spawn. The skill lock occured without the need to do anything.

Questions about Malchor

Posted by: Ayakaru.6583

Ayakaru.6583

Simple, though;
Grenth with the help of seven reapers defeated Dhuum deep beneath the orrian lands and sealed him within the halls of judgement. He destroyed his tower and created the Chaos Planes.

After this, Grenth took his place by his mother in the hall of gods, in the abandoned seat of his father.

Now the important part; The abandoned seat if his father, is the seat emptied by Dhuum, or did another god leave the six prior to Dhuum’s fall.

Abaddon usurped his throne from another god, so why not grenth

Consequence about the ley line in Season 2

Posted by: Ayakaru.6583

Ayakaru.6583

propably not, the ley lines have been there since the dawn of times, and while maybe a single asura or whatever may have used them, the ley lines are nothing more than tectonical plate-borders. Their influence is already an effective thing. Nothing won’t change, only the magic around LA may become a little distorted since leyline got damaged. as for the rest, think of them as the bloodveins of the enite world.
