Guild Wars 2

Was planning on taking a weeks break from gw2. The droprate bug is a big reason for that. Hoping within a week we’ll at least get an official confirmation of a fix or at least aknowledgment that there is/was a bug with the droprate buff.

25 * 125 * 0.5 = 1562, thats roughly 1560, makes perfect sense to me. Its not 50% off the already discounted price for buying 25.

Its still cheaper than before! If someone wanted to buy keys, now is the time, thats not taking advantage of stupid customers, thats smart customers taking advantage of a good offer.

“Hey, you know that thing where we promised better drops? We lied!”

Nah, Im pretty sure its a bug. Hope it gets fixed asap.

You mean there is actually map banter in lions arch? O.o I barely notice between all the lfg spam!

I love how weight and balance is a big part of the asura animations when jumping, fighting with weapons etc.

I agree, the UI really could use some more customization. Not addons, but let us resize things like the crafting/bank window, move the map, move the chat, have two chat windows.. heck a small toolbar for consumables would be lovely too.

I did the very same storyline on my female mesmer and I loved it. The story doesnt need to be epic all the time. I welcome the fact that it can be silly sometimes and serious at other times. I dont mind the norn males voice either (got a guardian norn male), but the voice of the human male makes me want to shoot myself.

When running around in the open world I almost never group up, as a matter of fact like others here I like to take it my own pace. Sometimes run in windowed mode while grinding, exploring, doing heart quests or whatever and watch a movie at the same time (vlc player on-top ftw). But I do think that the game is as solo friendly as it needs to be. I like that some events require more people to complete but dont force you to group up, I can come and go as I like.

If I really want to group, I do dungeons, especially fotm which is really fun. Kind of tired of the lfg spam in lions arch though. There needs to be a better way for looking for groups! Spamming chat for groups isnt social, its just annoying.

I dont get loot from champs half the time either and more often than not they just drop blues and worse. Same with chests in general, tons and tons of blues, sometimes greens but almost never rares.

Either they never implemented the drop rate fix, or its bugged..

FWIW, this was a bug that I just fixed. Not sure when it will hit Live. We had an alternate scene recorded for sylvari who’d completed the mirror storyline, but it wasn’t hooked up.

Awesome, thanks! Now all we need is a way to go back and replay earlier parts of the storyline again! I’d love to see the real outcome of this scene!

The one and only time I heard Trahearne having even an ounce of emotion in his voice was on a quest where he, well.. it was really an illusion of trahearne summoned by some powerful mesmer and not the real trahearne, but still same voice actor. I kind of liked that Trahearne better actually. Even the risen show more emotion than Traderp.

People die like flies because massive invisible karka armies rip everyone apart no matter their level of equipment..

Do you need more skill to beat him or have they just beefed up his damage/health?

Since my other post was deleted and got an infraction for it for some dumb reason.. I’ll repeat in other words.

You dont need full exotics for the first few difficulties, but what you do need are people who can think, react, are aware of whats going on etc.

The reality is that it would be abused.

Its based on the person with the lowest difficulty actually.

Hehe, yeah, we all burst out in laughter on ts when we saw the “crazy golemcat lady”.

Gearscore was a big pile of steaming dung in wow and it would be a big pile of steaming dung in gw2. Sadly some people seem to like steaming dung.

Although it was funny watching people with alot higher gearscore than me fail horribly in raids.

The best part with the colossus was when he was freed and turned back to bow at the party. Could have done without the underwater fractal though.

It would also halt others that are also interested in gearing up through PVE. And Im not talking about a high enough difficulty level in FotM to have agony active. Im talking about whatever instance, whether it is AC or Arah.

No, it wouldnt help.

There might not be a huge problem with it right now. The problem is when it basically becomes the norm.

Most likely it wont be wiped.

Hearing Trahearnes voice makes me sleepy. He is SO BORING!

Did 7 different fractals so far, all of them awesomecake! Or well, hated the underwater one but still.

Yes, a voice actor with even half an ounce of emotion would do wonders for trahearnes personality and not some no good voice actor that seems to have recorded his lines in his sleep.

This is so true. I did the same mission with the difference being that I never even asked for trahearns help in the racial story part.. I chose to enlist the aid of some asura to free her so that she says that trahearne helped her is just absurd. There could have been references to the earlier part of the storyline but I guess the story writers figured that “Bah, screw the players, they wont remember it anyway”.

Dont let jerks ruin your experience, there are sensible people out there too.

Nah, Dogblaster, its only sad because its true. Alot of people forget where they came from. Everyone has to start somewhere.

I can see why they changed it to not work without line of sight, but seriouslu? Wont work if we are blinded? Thats seriously funked up..

Thing is, its based on the number of files, not on the total size so you cant judge by the %.

Things can change up to the release meaning information in the early patch notes could be incorrect. It might work in LoL but this ISNT LoL, big difference. Anet isnt the only company not releasing patch notes beforehand. And why would pro players need the patch notes early? If they are truly pro, they adapt.

I belive 1 is the ability you use for hitting the bone ship. When using it you should get a targeting circle that you must aim at the ship. The other two abilities are basically to protect you from the mobs trying to attack you.

Thats a big reason why I dont do that many dungeons, I prefer actually doing stuff and not stand around spamming chat. The current LFG system is horrible. The current way of people looking for groups by spamming chat is horrible.

Nobody (well perhaps somebody) is asking for an automatic dungeon finder that automatically groups you up with other people and sends you on your way. What most people are asking for is a way to find people for a dungeon without all this dumb actually-not-community-building chat spam.

I think Ive seen one, yes one, unidentified dye drop since they fixed the high droprate and Ive been playing quite a bit. They definitely overcorrected it.

That…. would be awesome!

Yes, it will stay, but the sidekicking up to 80 will go away after the event. There is plenty of info on this.

I’d love an underflow server, that would help so much!

Alot of points unlikely in the upcoming patch, sure. But quite possibly in later patches.

Im pretty sure that battle for fort trinity starts in straits of devastation. You cannot actually use the portals in the vigil/whisperers/priory headquarters until you are done with battle of fort trinity.

Are you talking about the pact part of the storyline (which is a choice anyone can make regardless of race)? There are 3 abilities, one of them can be aimed, the other is an aoe to damage mobs that try to attack the turret and the third is a shield to protect the turret from attackers.

As long as this wont be the norm for future content.. Im well, its possibly fine. But just as long as it wont be the norm..

Im suprised that half of the troops dont fall asleep during his speeches. Seriously, the guy has no charisma, no passion. How he managed to keep the pact together is a mystery to me. And yeah, the part about him babbling about how hopeless everything is. He is NOT an inspiring leader.. He is NOT a likable leader. Heck even when he honored a dead norn in hoelbroek, it felt like the voice actor put zero emotion behind the voice. Simply one of the worst voice actors for any character in the game..

EdwinLi.1284:

A lot of these complaints I see, other than Trahearne, is how Act 1 doesn’t finish the story and leaves questions.

Well that is the point of Act 1. This part of the Personal Story is to set the stage for Future Personal Stories. Act 1 was never meant to be a complete book but only the first chapter of the Book.

Then why do choices made in earlier acts not matter at all in later acts? I had an asuras help to save Carys (the other choice was to seek the help of trahearn) from the orrian mirror, yet when I meet carys again in a quest in orr, its as if she doesnt know me and even claims “trahearn helped me get out of the mirror”. Its as if the story writers were lazy and just assumes “meh, players who did that part of the sylvari storyline wont remember anyway, sod them!”.

I like how they stripped all our previous interactions and choices in the racial storylines.. or wait, no I dont. Npcs you’ve met before, interacted with, even saved.. act like they have no clue who you are and might claim things that happened opposite of what you actually did! Helped save a sylvari from an orrian mirror, not with the help of that idiot Trahearne but with the help of an asura scientist? Seemingly not, or the sylvari you saved has severe memory loss (the ego trahearn then must have filled in the blanks, where he is the master of all and everything and the saviour of the kitten universe).

They are even more rare now than before the november 1 patch. Why?

Im getting seriously tired of Anets storywriting in the personal story. Sure they’ve got this big thing with choices and outcomes in the earlier half of the story. But its like dont care a single bit about our choices and the characters we’ve interacted with previously.

For example:

Its as if they dont give a darn about our previous choices? I mean, before battle of claw island the storywriting was rather good. But then it goes downhill.. not only do previous choices not matter worth a kitten but the entire story feels rushed and incomplete. I seriously hope they will amend this somehow. No I dont care if you have to contact those voice actors again! Just FIX IT. sigh

Fishing, sure? Why not!

Im referring to the fact that alot of the choices you make in the earlier levels (and on character creation) in the story wont affect the later parts, something which I thought was very dissapointing.

Sweet fx is not much different from changing settings with nvidia inspector etc.

If you can even come close to the Sweet Fx please post it because i know about nvidia inspector and i doubt it can do same stuff as sweetfx.

Feel free to post the screenshots.

Im not talking about the quality. Im talking about the fact that its about as harmless as nvidia inspector when it comes to how it affects the game. This as an argument for the “Yes, use it, you wont get banned” against “No, you’ll get banned”.
