Guild Wars 2

I got the second one. I know the first one’s from the achievement.

Got my first box. Thank you, RNG. And thanks to Naotsugu for hoping that I got a box, and I did on that run.

11 tries, 7 wins, 3 failures, 1 where I got kicked in the middle of the fight.

2 boxes to finish my collection, and I can’t even get one. So I need a double miracle to get them Why is the drop rate so low

I just remembered: I never got a shoulder box, despite opeing 150 bandit boxes.

Changed glove to shoulder. But you knew what I meant.

5 times so far. I’m going to do it 20 times, and if I don’t get a coat box, i’m giving up. I’m not going to keep throwing myself at this. Meanwhile, a guild of mine got 3 boxes in 2 runs. Thanks, rng.

I think the only fair thing to do is make disconnections that last less then 20 seconds not count. If I can be “dead” for 20 seconds, and not have it hurt my team, surely being disconnected for less than that can’t hurt my team either?

Why not just make a single folder called “Archive” and then move all the archived forums into that?

It’s possible that chapter 8 isn’t the last chapter, but that means that we took a break, just to come back, and spin our wheels some more, as we get another short chapter, and then a cliffhanger. I want some resolution after a month, not more cliffhangers.

You can report him. Anet will do something about people who scam others. You won’t get your money back, but report anyways.

Perhaps getting to 300% magic find as soon as possible was a bad idea?

Now, I’ve already completed the quest, so that may be why, but when I double click on it, it says content temporarily disabled. Any info on this

Tried that too. Kept telling me I was missing one or more milestones.

DId you disconnect or switch instances during jp? It clears your milestones.

Nope, same instance. Never changed.

The Bells of Wintersday don’t count toward the meta. I already did it once. Based on this I would guess that Snowball Mayhem Participant, Toypocalypse Survivor and the JP Mastery don’t count either.

We’ll have to grind out all the rest of them. Oh joy! Grinding! My fav….

Yes it does, it just only counts once and can be done indefinitely. There are more than enough options, outside of dailies to get the meta without doing a couple things you have no interest in.

The infinite achievements Don’t count. I did the toypocalypse one. Started with 7, still had 7 when I finished.

Tried that too. Kept telling me I was missing one or more milestones.

Yes, of course. But it shouldn’t clear your milestones if you don’t have the key.

So, I spend an hour going through the JP, only to not be allowed to open the chest because it wiped out my milestones, yet, didn’t open. Thanks.

Quartz, sprocket, and candy corn.

Man, I love having my fun ruined so they can iron out bugs. Best thing ever. And if it’s still got bugs, why was dishonor turned on, even if temporarily? Either it’s ready to go, or it’s not.

Wasn’t this what the whole pvp revamp was supposed to do? Why do we have to wait for another revamp to fix the problems with this revamp?

We’re like to iterate and continue to improve. Something we can do much faster with the back-end servers.

So, all we have to do is endure crappy matchmaking till you get around to fixing it? Fun.

Justin ODell.9517:

We’ve got something coming down the pipe that should improve these sort of scenarios. Details soon.

Wasn’t this what the whole pvp revamp was supposed to do? Why do we have to wait for another revamp to fix the problems with this revamp?

So, to get the wintersday meta, you have to grind out 500 correct notes in the choir.

Yeah, there’s only 11 events that count. So you have to grind the stupid choir game to finish the meta! Is this intended?

Sorry but there are still 12 choices and now you only have to do 3… not choosing something is not the same thing as no choice.

With only 4 choices in each category, you may find yourself forced to go in WvW or PvP if you can only make 2 in one category.

At least with the old system you had a lot more choices.

YOU had a lot more choices… People in PvP had none. So…

That’s not true. You can get daily skill interrupter, kills, dodges in pvp. I used to do that all the time.

Back in the old days, the daily counted towards the meta. It doesn’t anymore. Is this a bug?

GhOst.4019:

And yet another useless thread full of people who don’t read other threads first. ALL “crap” (old Solo Q) maps will be removed on the 16th. We are in between seasons and nothing you do right now matters anyway. Matchmaking is turned off right now until the 16th as well. If you can’t handle a couple weeks of crap, then wait it out 1 more day for all the changes to take place. 100’s of threads made on the same subjects that don’t even matter; because these things you hate are only in place for 2 weeks.

Perhaps, making us hate something for 2 weeks is a bad idea?

6 to 500. Such an awesome game. Totally fun, anet. I just barely got contribution, so it wasn’t a complete waste of time. I love total blow out matches.

I know what’s going on with matchmaking. That doesn’t mean what’s going on was a good idea.

Christ, I got TWO FULL TEAMS one right after the other. What are a bunch of PUGS supposed to do against FULL TEAMS? Our score is 47 to 500. Is this your idea of a fun pvp match?

Justin ODell.9517:

Courtyard, Spirit Watch, and Skyhammer will not be included in ranked arena once the beta ladder officially starts.

Meaning they come back after a month? And stay around till the next ladder?

I faced the same premade team of 5 people twice, despite losing against them, and against the team I faced between them. This matchmaking sucks.

So, I was at the end of Cadecus with like 5% to go on the enemy, and I drop. Naturally, my party finished killing him before I got logged back in. Can’t wr have more robust disconnect protections than nothing at all?

I’m thinking the new dragon should be called Lens Flare.

Why not start the living story two weeks earlier, WAAAAY back when, so that you could have chapter 8 start on the second, and wintersday on the 16th?

Yeah, but you know, we didn’t force them to choose this schedule. They chose it themselves, and they could’ve started the living story 2 weeks earlier, and thus avoided this problem in the first place.

I was trying to get shoe boxes in silverwastes. Opened like 150 boxes. 1 shoe box, no ascended recipes. Meanwhile, my guildmate opened 30 or so boxes with me. Got 3 shoe boxes, and 1 recipe. I know I could just grind out 1k crests, and I already had, but it still seems vaguely unstatisfying.

Man, there’s nothing I like better than old mate “You don’t pay for it, so stop complaining” argument. Second to it is the “You pay for it? Well, if you don’t like it, stop paying for it. You stopped paying for it? Well, you aren’t paying for it, so stop complaining” argument. I mean, once I buy the movie ticket, I get to watch the movie for free, right? Once I buy the book, I get to read it for free, right?

I don’t know what anet’s doing with all it’s time if this is the best they can give us.

There’s no point in giving them free kills. I just want to lose as fast as possible so I can go have fun, anet.

Justin ODell.9517:

I’m really curious as to how you guys are figuring out if the other team is a pre-made. We don’t tell you, and looking at the data there are very few party rosters compared to solo.

Is it just match quality being bad? Are you just recognizing player names?

When I see the EXACT same lineup twice in a row, I know they’re a team. And I just let them win asap, because my pug group has no chance. Thanks for the crappy matchmaking.

Yeah, why can’t we just reset from the part we screwed up? I’ve already proven I can do the other parts, why make me redo them over and over and over again? It takes me 12 minutes to get back to Vorpp. There’s no way this is good gameplay.

North of the keep.

I think the problem is that not knowing what the plans for the future are is indistinguishable, on the player’s side, to not having plans for the future. The player doesn’t know if you’re not talking about plans because you don’t have them, or because you don’t want to. But it’s all the same. There’s no future to the game. There’s nothing to be excited about, or look forward to, or plan for, until you drop it on us 1 month before it goes live. Sometimes, 1 week before it goes live. And then you get a massive kittenstorm over stuff like charging 300 gold for each color of the new commander tags. A problem that could’ve EASILY been solved if you had asked us. And I bet you probably could’ve gotten us to pay 200 gold to unlock the new colors, making a nice gold sink in the game that needs them. How is any of this good communication?

If dr’s so rare, why have it at all, then?

John Smith.4610:

Ayrilana.1396:

This is about DR. Is it based on when you kill something or when you pick up the loot? I vaguely remember people stating during the Blixx farm to pick up loot in 4 min intervals to slow down DR. Assume you’re allowed to answer this of course.

I cannot speak on the specifics, but I will say that it’s not really a thing anymore. In the last hour 26 people hit DR. Virtually nobody ever hits DR.

I hit DR after 2 hours in the mad king’s labrynth during the Halloween event.

I dunno about tabs. I like the “see everything at a glance” function of wallet as it currently is. Plus, they’d have to change how it works to allow us to click on a tab.

I still think a reward track is the best idea. The programming’s already in the game, it doesn’t require tokens, or thousands of new things for the server to keep track of. Of course, we leave RNG as an option, but you can work towards stuff, as well. I bet this would be very popular. I don’t care if people laze out on earning, or work their kitten off to get it. Everyone gets their own fun from the game.

And the dwayna bows, AND the spirit weapons. Too much crap uses the gift of light, and not enough of the other cores.

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

Becka Williams.4978:

Dude, I’ve already killed him 90 times, and not gotten a horde. Is that really fun?

I don’t think so. The way you killed him was irrelevant so far though. You could have put in a lot of effort or you could have done nothing but standing around and hitting something now and then… it would make no difference.

If you put in a lot of effort then it’s really a shame that you haven’t gotten anything yet.
If you put in no effort at all, then I’d say you haven’t earned a better reward anyway.

Lemme know how to AFK win at teq, okay? I’d like to put in less work for the “no rewards that I want” I get from teq now.

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

is it really fun if you have to kill Tequatl 40 times? Personally I would enjoy it much more to achieve something really challenging… if I’m good enough it would work on a few tries.

Killing Teq 40 times via standing there in one spot and doing afk damage… I don’t think you have earned that reward. Every labrat could do that.

Dude, I’ve already killed him 90 times, and not gotten a horde. Is that really fun?
