Guild Wars 2

Paragon.6158:

With the influx of new players from the recent sales event and the release of the game in China. How if it all do you see this effecting the global economy of the game. I myself believe that we will see some significant changes in items at static price points. What are everyone else’s thoughts on this?

China will be seperated from our market, so it will have NULL influence

Ok I Did It.2854:

So how’d that prediction work out for you, I see T6 blood has hit 48s each now.

2 nights ago i managed to sell 7 vicious fangs for 95s when somebody had maybe tried to manipulate the market and bought all fangs that were available.

However i portet back to my bank then, throw another 10 into the TP for 95s .. but the price very fast went back to kitten or even lower.

So that showed me first time live that marked manipulation really doesn’t work with common materials.
.
.
And yes .. i know that this thread is about Ori / Ancient Wood .. but i just wanted to tell that story somewhere

Dee Jay.2460:

I have noticed this a lot since the patch as well.

It seems like champions have a 50 person tag-cap. People tagging them too late get nothing. That’s not fun.

So you think a 1 person cap would be better ? I still prefer the 50 .. and my god .. if i don’t get a bag of one of the Avatars at Wurm or whatever .. they weren’t even Champs before the patch.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Switch back to traditional MMO loot rule sets and 90% of the games issues melt away.

Instead we would then have the old problems of killstealing / griefing and everything else that comes with that. Oh .. and people maybe just don’t play anymore .. that would of course solve all problems

I can imagine that quite some people want just the cowl as skin for their helmet. At least last night a friend asked me if i knew if it was possible to just use that.

Ok .. before complaining about this, you should maybe think twice how the solution may look :

1. Mobs get even more hitpoints. Has anyone problems tagging the Champion Icewolf at Jormag ?

2. We get no loot at all.

The champion Icewolf has the “best” of both .. millions of hitpoints and no loot.
Do you really want all events infested with mobs like that one ?

Wanze.8410:

No because lvl 80 zones wont be affected by the megaserver rollout until later this year.

Its already “later that year” it seems .. that was also really faster than what i expected

Ferocity as main stat means you have less strength and so your non-crits will do less damage and i’m not sure if the higher crit% will weight out the loss of strength.

Kaiah.6210:

Weird, I just bought the Lidless eye and didn’t even equip it, but threw it into the mystic forge with the rest of ingredients for the eye of rodgort.
It then unlocked both skins lidless and rodgort…

Maybe because you destroyed the Lidless while the patch was already active.

Unknown.2189:

Actually yes… yes they are. Frostgorge had been for awhile, and Sparkfly became megaserved about 4 hours ago. 20 minutes before teq spawned. Which caused a little bit of mess for people trying to organize it.

Frostgorge was not at least after the daily reset yesterday when i was there to harvest ori and ancient wood.

Still complaining about that one ? I have another complain then :

I would also ask now when we get rid of the Megaserver, since the megaserver leads to much less income from picking ore, so all my investement in endlos picks is now worth nothing.

tolunart.2095:

When the Watchwork Pick thread stops getting bumpied.

So maybe never ?

Maybe we should also endlos bump a thread where it was asked to remove ascended gear from the game or something like that ?

Buttercup.5871:

I don’t get it. Rune of speed is useful, yes, but powerful? Can you elaborate?

Hehe .. wanted to ask the same. I use them on my mesmer an elementalist, but it was more just the cheap version of traveller rune since i don’t play them that often

Ramiel.4931:

Won’t happen in Carebear Wars.

Wow .. first time i read that word since i quitted AION. And i really never want to read that again .. thats why i’m here and not in Gankland or Grieftown.

Lord Kuru.3685:

Xae Isareth.1364:

Weapons are around 5% DPS increase over their exotic counterparts. Not really anything massively game changing, you’ll finish fights slightly faster.

Armour… you really will struggle to tell the difference unless you’re in FotM .

The raw stats are 5% increase. But if you use gear with stats that synergize well (for example Power, precision, ferocity) that 5% can be boosted up to 10-15%.

Its not the stats, its just the base damage of the weapon skills that do 5% .. and 5% is always 5% no matter what synergies.

If you do 1000 per hit you do 1050 .. now if thanks to power, precison and ferocity you do 2000 it will be 2010 .. its always 5%.

Now for armor .. the increase in total stats of a full armor set is something like 0,5-1% .. everybody must decide on her / his own if that is worth 500+ Gold.

So the usual Open-PvP request from the Champions Online Forums now here .. really ?

Hermes.7014:

Where are these PvE AI controlled siege machines though?

North-West of Gendarran Fields is a very annoying spot where you can’t even kill the Centaur that just attacked you without beeing hit an kicked arround by some Trebuchets that you don’t even see. You can even enter the entrance of the cave there and have constantly red circles around you.

I wonder how many of the people that constantly ask for that, want to get rid of a Charr.

Envy.1679:

Actually APB reloaded has a much better character editor than perfect world.

Maybe .. i don’t like the whole stlye of that one however, so i tried it and removed it very fast. With the PW editor however i really played around many hours.

And personally i really want more those options than whatever Black Desert can, since in the end all character from Black Desert i saw so far look still like clones.

Sera.6539:

But GoT referencing aside, I doubt this will ever come. We already/currently have the transmuted name issue where it’s taking the name of the original item, rather than the transmuted. Devs say that isn’t an easy fix, and that has no ETA. So implementing a custom name would be far off down the line if it were ever viable.

And we even still have problems with naming ranger pets.

Oh no .. please no weapon level grind like in Lotro.

Orpheal.8263:

Anet can add improvements there, but these improvements surely will never reach that extreme detail, like this one. Therefore is GW2 already far too old in its whole game engine.

Has nothing to do with age. Just look at the character editor from Perfect World International .. that game is a lot older and for me has still one of the best character editors since you are not bound to any presets and create any face you want from any other face just with the sliders.
You can even save and load your characters there and blend in images.

All later games from perfect World however have much worse editors with just same boring presets.

Rich veins can normally be gathered 10 times. And i haven’t noticed any change with that. Platin, Gold an Silver only give 1 ore per pick, Iron gives 1 or 2 .. normally i would say i get 15 out of a rich iron vein.

Sometimes you can pick 11 or 12 times due to WvW Bonus, that is in the end the same as when you can pick a normal vein 4-6 times.

Unlimited or normal pick also don’t make any difference, i harvest with 12 characters, some use normal mithril picks, others have all different unlimited tools.

Greyhound.2058:

I’ve been trying out the new champ schedule, and I can honestly say I’ve never been in so many overflows. Every new zone —> ‘you are in xxxxx overflow’. I thought the whole megaserver thing was supposed to fix that? It’s actually been worse than before.

The only difference from Megaserver to overflow is, that you don’t get the message anymore that you are on an overflow .. thats all. Else the whole thing is just a giant overflow.

NeHoMaR.9812:

I know about the salvage kit, I have 2 years playing the game. And also know you CAN’T use it with equipment from WvW vendors. So, this is NOT the answer, thanks anyway. Also, a 2hand weapons have THREE upgrades, 2 sigils and an infusion.

Before April 15th I was able to use a Transmutation Crystal (40 gems each I think) to merge whatever level 80 items I want. Like for example, an ascended weapon keeping all upgrades (some got with laurels).

Now we have “transmutation charges” that only work with skins, and not with stats and upgrades. We have also the Upgrade Extractor that cost 250 gems, that is EXTREMELY expensive, I think it should cost like 40 gems (5 for 200 gems, like trans. crystals)

I still don’t see your problem.

In the old way you needed always to destroy a piece of armor, now if you just want to use a different skin that you have already unlocked there is no need to destroy anything anymore. Just use the Skin on you actual armor and you have the stats of that armor and the look you want.

If you want an armor with other stats you can put also the skin on that one and still keep your old armor and don’t need to destroy it.

Only if you want a rune from your old armor you need to destroy it, however you have at least the chance to get also ectos and dark matter that way, before it was always destroyed and you only got the rune.

Taygus.4571:

Try partying with someone, so if you disconnect you should still be able to get back onto that server through the “join option”.

Doesn’t help if the zone is full, you simply get an error message then. In the end its the same we already know from the old overflows, since Megaserver is nothing more than just a list of overflows.

Only problem afaik are Karma Armors that can’t be salvaged, in that case you really need to buy a new rune for your new armor.

Use BLSK (Black Lion Salvage Kit) to extract the Rune or Sigill from the old armor/Weapon, then put Rune or Sigill in new armor/weapon with the new skin.

So Support can already start to investigate those accounts that have posted here, since they seem to be hacked

I have seen no problems wit the Svanir Shaman so far. You should maybe post that in the bugs forum and also notice on what server you have that problem.

Recalibar.6482:

rekim.5296:

and also why all the ‘totally posted by somebody else aggreing with me" messages have been posted minutes if not seconds one after the other.’

I actually thought they were actually trolling OP’’s bad English.

Thought also about that, on the other hand its unusual to see that much trolling in this forum.

However i also haven’t even looked at the picture since the whole thing just sounded so absurd that i couldn’t believe there is really something behind it

XanoNymOuS.5407:

Thought I could understand english decent.. but then I met this thread.

Yeah .. i also wonder if there is any real informational content in this thread or if it is just pure spam.

So .. player play in the open world as if the world was open to them ?

I have a great advice for you, that i have read sooo often in the last months :

Wurm and Teq are very easy .. just join TTS .. thats all.

Maybe you people now start to understand the main complains against these type of events.

Finally my ranger can wear this outfit

Funniest thing is when people complain about a nerf that run maybe more time in zones / dungeons where they are downlevelt and don’t notice that their crit-rate there now is even better than before the nerf.

Behellagh.1468:

This is very old news. The speculation is that NCSOFT will be using it for their new version of Lineage (Lineage Eternal) and other projects being developed in Korea. Blade & Soul is build on UE3 and Aion on UE2.5. Either may be upgraded to use the new engine.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Nah .. Lineage 2 was UE 2.5 .. Aion used CryEngine. I still remember the old CrySystem.dll crashes in Aion

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

I think language was one of the things the algorithm was supposed to take into consideration, but it sounds like that algorithm is also ‘learning’ as it goes. I think part of the issue is that they didn’t implement it early enough to create the ‘data backlog’ needed in order for the system to accurately determine where to put players, either that or it’s not parsing the gathered information properly yet. It may just need time to aggregate, or it might need tweaking. Not sure which at this point, it’s still too soon.

There is nothing to learn if you have just ONE SINGLE ZONE for 4 different languages and everybody is portet into that zone, until the zone is full. And then the next people were just sent into zone 2 that is again mixed language.

The whole thing will simply never work as long as we don’t have at minimum one dedicated zone for every language.

Problem why we have now always all languages mixed on EU Servers :

Thats because they use just ONE map minimum for ALL EU-Servers, instead of at least FOUR servers, so that we have always one EN, DE, FR and ES Zone so that people can land in a zone with their selected Language.

No they start with ONE zone, every language is put into that one until its full, then wie get ZONE 2 and that zone also is further mixed with all languages .. yada yada ..

We NEED at least ONE zone minimum for every official language, else the whole thing will never work !!

Also .. give us an optional way to manually select the zone that we want to use.

fadeaway.2807:

It is because they fixed the buggy way crit damage down scaled.
Yes in a lot of dungeons and zones zerker has actually been buffed.

I already wondered if the people that always cry about the nerf have actually ever noticed how bad crit damage has scaled, and that you often now do more damage than before when downscaled.

Lineage 2 used Unreal Engine, Tera that was initially started as Lineage 3 also uses Unreal i think, so NCSoft will use it maybe simply for some of their own projects.

Wardrobe is ok for me, but the new trait UI is really much worse than the old one.

I only trained to earn Bloodstone, since as somebody who don’t plays dungeons that was the only way to get Bloodstone. I was alredy annoyed when they nerfed the amount of Bloodstone because of people who were simply to lazy to destroy a stack now and then when they had too much.

From personal experience so far :

Timberline Falls
Straits of Devastation

From what i’ve read :

Starter Citys
Fields of Ruin
Southsun Cove
Cursed Shore

cesmode.4257:

This is so LOL on so many levels. I didnt even read this in the patch notes, but anything that removes zerg trains is good for the game.

Go play the game correctly now.

And YOU decide what “correct” is ? What is correct then ? Running CoF P1 100 times ? Or just anything that simply ignores the open World, since Dungeons is the only “correct” way to play ?

Or is just PvP correct, or WvW ?

Moon.7310:

I don’t like the new timers. It was always great fun for me to do a lot of boss events every evening… now I have to wait for specific times, and some bosses I will never see, since I don’t have so much time to play… I also don’t get why there is only one boss active at once… it was never a problem before to have more active before, there were always enough people to do them… all you did is herding all people who want to do a boss to one map, generating overflows and killing the fun of having a different boss rotation every day…

^^ Very much this.

If you want them on a fixed schedule, at least make them apperar more often. I don’t see a problem if Wurm (the old one), Behemoth and Maw start maybe every hour and you can just pick one of the three that you want to make.

And where is the problem ? Why should we be able to put the same skin we actually use over an item ?

TheGaryTh.1649:

Megaservers have been added to the Heart of the Mist and nothing else so far.

Thats not true. In Timberline Falls and Straits of Devastation i land in the same instance even when i guest to servers of other languages.

Have you stalked me in the CO Forums and seen how much i hate this vehicle crap, or whats the reason of this post ?
