If they would introduce more mastery points to the core game, I wouldn’t mind. But the points I need to to complete the only mastery left are tied to personal story repeats and a lot of activities that are nothing more than a grind.
They have added new points to the living story, how about making the next few batches red instead of green.

There are no Mastery Points tied to Personal Story ‘repeats’. One can earn 8 Mastery Points (1 for each Level arc), and 8 MPs only.

Perhaps, you are confusing the Personal Story with the Living World Episodes.

Sorry, mixed up the story label. (but playing the personal story with races I haven’t used would also qualify—but would have to buy character slots). But the point is when I look at what I need to get 8 more MPs, I see nothing but grinds, obscure collections, repeating each episode many times for a to get 1 point. A few more points added to the core game maps would be easy to do. My mistake was picking the legendary mastery with my MPs instead of the auto-loot.

There are usually a few posts about this every month, if not weekly, for a game mechanic that has been like this for years.

large thread about it and the firestone bug here.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Issues-with-Grawl-Firestone-Suet-merged/first

Some are reporting the ‘fix’ did not repair the issue for them.

Can’t buy with my alts, only with my main. I really don’t care to redo the story with my all my alts because of this oversight. Just make the firestone account bound.

The frozen cub to unfreeze that is alive and becomes part of your home instance is at a different location in the cold area. It’s where you can glide down from.

Too bad they are soulbound instead of account bound. My main can buy, but not my alts.

Agree with the op and would add that even with the suggested ‘work arounds’ the targeting system in the game is lacking and has yet to be resolved or addressed.
It did work better at one time though.

Can’t believe there is no thread on this, Grawl Firestone… can’t buy it ..Bug? Are you guys gonna address this ? You keep putting the daily in …but what are we supposed to do , redo the story EACH day???

Let me guess, this will just be ignored.

Not only is there a thread, but it has Dev responses, as well:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Issues-with-Grawl-Firestone-Suet-merged

Good luck

Yes, true it is another thread. But no devs have reponded, just the communications manager who is not a dev saying they are aware of the issue.

Still can’t buy using alts. Really not interested in replaying the story on my alts. Please fix.

I have same problem.

For ppl who just need map completion for another characters without doing story on each character – you can reach last POI in “The bitter cold” just use Thermal tube on the north of “Dragons teeth hot springs”. This tube does shoot you under waterfall close to the Mastery point in the cold zone, just fast jump down for POI and die on the frost But you will have Map completion.

For ppl who need this for daily use – take your main character again to the story. After what you reach story to the point where grawl got to you free Grawl firestone, you can buy more pieces at Warming Sun heart-vendor. I already bought 50 pcs for future progress right this way. Nothing against Anet but I know how long time can take this issue solve. But very important is buy Grawl firestones during this story line, after what you already cooked elixir and finished story line Warming Sun no longer will have this item in the inventory!

For ppl which needs achievements – unfortunately, the only way how working in the Cold zone is do it again through story with new elixir. Notice that elixir working whole day until daily server restart, so start as soon as possible during day or buy more Firestones during story line.

Hope it helps and bug will be fixed asap.

? Was able to buy some stones with my main, but they are soul bound instead of account bound. Now this could be a quick and easy temporary fix for anet to implement (drop the soul bound lock) so I could use them with my alts. But since there are no suet drops, it really doesn’t matter at this point.

Ditto, just to purchase it with an alt. Firestone is not available to purchase. Not I am getting any more suet drops on my main or an alt.

just make it available as an account bound perm after story completion

Agree that this type of restriction makes me want to play the map even less than I do now.
Getting real tire of the zerg mentality, gating, grinding, pay to get an RNG drop maps.
They really need to get back to making maps like the core game had.

Can one sell these Tuning Crystals? I have stacks of Charged Ambrite. Perhaps, I should craft some Crystals.

Never mind. I see it’s account-bound. Pity.

The Charged Ambrite return a pretty penny on the TP.

Yeah but…..

25 Quartz at this moment price of 9.77 silver each is 2.4425 gold
10 Ambrite is 5 silver
So, cost to make is 2.4925 gold

Sell price for one charged ambrite is 2.1595 gold.
You’d get 28.4 silver more if you sell the Quartz and Ambrite separately.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sheet_of_Charged_Ambrite
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Quartz_Crystal

Truth, but if the charged ambrite is already made, you cant recover the mats. So for the ones already crafted and in your inventory, might as well sell them.

Stating everyone that does not agree with your suggestion ‘trolls’ is not likely to garner much support, and may facilitate the removal of your thread, and possible account action.

Also, no to OW PvP for all the reasons stated in the plethora of previous threads. (Google is your friend, should you care to peruse said threads.)

Good luck.

Agree with you 100%. And as noted Google would have been the place to start, or perhaps the General is aware and has read them but decided to restart an old and rejected concept. Oh well, I see it has been reported for moderation.

Going there at the wrong time, it isn’t available during beta. It’s locked during meta.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Adventure

Ditto, going to play something else.

Yep, constant disconnects ,(Bitterfrost Frontier). After 5 times, I don’t see a point in playing anymore until it’s fixed. It is just about a holiday weekend in the states, hopefully it’s resolved before the holiday.

Regardless of all the differing opinions, I am totally disappointed with the decision to incorporate RNG pay to get mechanics. Having an outlier account that gets nothing (in my case) from a broken RNG , only increases my frustration with the loss of direction that Anet continually demonstrates under its current leadership.

Wasn’t mentioned in the release notes.

Too bad they missed fixing it with tonights hot patch.

There ya go.

Direct quote:
—and make sure SAB has a great, regular home in Guild Wars 2. As a yearly festival, SAB will now be a dependable fixture in Tyria, and that makes us very happy.—

TY —-15-————————

Seems they missed fixing it wit the recent hot fix patch

Glad I was a few hundred short of the 10,000. Hopefully by the time I get them the fix will be up.

I can’t remember any announcement that it is has become an annual festival. It will likely be back. If you have an link to an official statement from Anet, please post. I would like to read it.

I would prefer that all leaderboards be removed, not more added.

Ask all you want, it will never happen.
Anet does not have the capability to fix or improve the forum. It was developed by a 3rd party contract that ANET doesn’t associate with anymore. Search will remain broken and as forum the engine itself, Anet has refused to invest any money and time into developing or purchasing new forum software. Players helping Players is what you/we have.

from wiki ‘There is a cap of 15,000 Arenanet Points.png for daily and now-defunct monthly achievements combined. Once the cap is reached, additional points from the “Daily Completionist” meta achievement will no longer increase the account’s achievement points, but individual reward bonus chests will still be given out. ’

You can still earn AP points from other activities.

Add up the monthly and the daily—you are capped!

? got some stats on the your opinion and speculation?

http://massivelyop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/ncsoft1-1024x635.jpg

Yep, have seen that before and how much sales have dropped off. Not very successful at all right now. Nor are all happy with hot, which you can see by just reading the forums on a regular basis. Hype is one thing, if you like the game have fun !

It’s been available for 50% off and more for months if you shop at third party retailers. I got HoT for $30 six months ago.

Unless the 3rd retailers are listed as ‘official’ by Anet, you may find your access and $$$ gone. Always use an official retailer or you are taking big chance.

aandiarie.7195:

There is a game patch download that and then also repair your client, delete temp files cookies and old search history. Do a disk cleanup a defragmentation and delete old pictures, music and other things that take up space on your computer. Then if that doesn’t help restart your computer do another repair and try opening the client again. Also are you running a 64 or 32 bit client for gw2 and is it a mac?

Thanks for the guess work, but that won’t help at all with DDOS attacks(if that is what truly is happening).

Rink.6108:

On twitter 30 minutes ago:
“The ongoing connection issues are due to a DDOS attack. We apologize for the inconvenience and the team is working towards a solution. ~MJK”

So arenanet has no info about when the attacks hit, how long it will take and unfortunately may have little options to avoid them.

Nice to them to post the info here too!

bird.5920:

ANet twitter confirmed it’s a DDoS attack. Level 3 for most of the US is down right now so it’s not just NCSoft being targeted.

Too bad they can’t be bothered to pass the info on here.

1/4 price black lion keys with RNG removed. (but they probably still wouldn’t be worth buying LOL)

And there are many that purposely troll/grief the event just so those that finish the FE event can’t access the Steam Ogre. I often feel that are the majority that open the event before FE. They could come anytime to use one of their keys but chose to do it before FE.

Anet can howerever create very good RAID boss fights. I love almost all of them so far!

That’s why the next elder dragon’s final encounter should be a raid wing instead of a story instance!

Sure if you want to lose half the game in protest, that’s what they should do.

How can people who enjoy raiding consistently realize that some people really don’t want to get 10 people together to finish their story? This is a really bad idea from a business perspective, no matter how much you’d like it.

They should do both then, so I can enjoy a proper challenging final boss with 9 of my guildies and you can enjoy your solo story instance thingy.

For example “Mind of Primordus” can be the final story istance, “Mouth of Primordus” a world boss and “Heart of Primordus” a raid.

I can only hope that Anet doesn’t listen to a minority group of players whose requests challenges their limited resources and personal. Once was enough imho.

LMAO if we were such a small minority, Anet would not have catered to us. The fact of the matter is that many people left GW2 due to “lack of meaningful endgame content” and have now returned with the inclusion of raids.

Anet wouldn’t be developing raids if they didn’t think it was profitable. The sooner you accept that, the better.

We’re gonna get raids anyway, whether you like it or not. So they might as well make the next elder dragon a raid boss. I’m not saying they should do it instead of a story instance boss, I already said I’m fine with Anet doing both (just like how Mordremoth is both a story instance boss as well as a world boss).

I don’t see why this would be such a big issue to non-raiders.

LMAO—-Show me some stats—otherwise it’s just your personal speculations as to the popularity of Raids.

I agree but I think you are underestimating how many would leave.

jheryn.8390:

However, the multi-loot exploit maybe has not been dealt with by Anet because they don’t see it as a problem.

My point was that Anet hasn’t addressed it. By that I mean they need to address it by publicly saying yes/no/ we are working on/there is no easy fix because it too complicated for the team etc. Anyway their silence is the bigger issue and no one player can say with any certainty the Anet doesn’t see it as a problem and your definitive explanation is only pure speculation as was mine.

It’s just speculation on my part. Maybe some players are purposely causing fails to deal with the the perceived multi loot exploit that Anet hasn’t dealt with in a satisfactory manner one way or another.

Agree, it a shame that can’t be bothered to take a few swings at a grouchy skritt. I don’t think most are purposely griefing though. Changing the full credit to include pacifying a grouchy skritt would be a welcome change though.

Why only raids? If we can get legendary weps in a variety of regular pve content why not the legendary armor? Not everyone likes raids and a top tier of equipment shouldn’t be exclusive only to those who want to raid.

Will there be other options and ways to acquire legendary armor is this the only way?

Why do all Legendary weapons have to be tied to open world Pve content? And exclusive to people that play Pve?

Agree, but the solution should be that every type of legendary armor and weapons (and ascended and infusions) are available in both PvE and WvW not exclusive to one type of play. Nothing should be locked behind raids.

Why shouldn’t anything be locked behind raids? It takes the most effort in game for any Pve content nothing is stopping players from doing raids besides the players themselves, there is no hard gear requirement and so on.

They should have alternate legendary armor for each gamemode but I don’t see that happening anytime soon, given Anets Track record of ignoring most feedback on anything meaningful for WvW and so on.

I should have said locked behind one mode of play or another. Legendary completion of any type shouldn’t be restricted to a specific gamemode. Alternate armors for PvE and WvW and raids an great suggestion. Some may go for 1,2 or all of them. As you mentioned about Anet, I tend to agree, and don’t think they will be changing anything.

If one updates their post, no one sees it that has already read posts in the thread past the updated post.

I doubt many read a thread from the beginning each time it’s accessed.

It’s always prudent to read the Forum Rules accessed via the front page, as well. It may help avoid surprises.

Good luck.

Good point, and thanks for sharing your clarification of how the forum functions and participants use the forums.

You can max your bank tabs and bag slots on each character without spending any RL cash. What you cannot do is accomplish that without farming a bunch of gold.

If that does not work for you, then your options are RL money, or deciding that you don’t have to keep as much as you’re keeping.

Bingo! I haven’t spent a cent of real money for more bank and bag slots. And running Lab can easily get you enough candy corn to convert to cobs to get Pumpkin 20 space bags without much effort.
