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.
Simple solution, if you want friend to have full access to the all games’ content—— get friend to buy it!! If friend only wants to use an F2P account, accept the restrictions. (or buy friend an early XMAS present).
and there is the /wiki command to use in the chat box that gives you access to a large knowledge base. ‘/wiki daily’ clearly explains it in the 1st few sentences.
“There is a cap of 15,000 Points 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. "
We have the original statements of the devs of how hard the raids should be and that not all the players will be able to complete it.
Can you point to an official statement of the devs stating that this is no longer true?
You have a dev statement to support you. He has actual dev actions to support him. Anet has demonstrated time and again that words are meaningless. Judge by their actions. They have chosen for the raid to NOT be what they originally spoke of just as Anet took plenty of other actions that contradicted their stated intentions.
2 thumbs up and a dozen likes. Anet described perfectly.
Makes me wonder how people have 15k from dailies and only 5k from actually achieving something in this game. Daily AP should be removed entirely.
Give me a break, lots of points made while just playing. Once the cap is reached, it just takes longer to reach the various levels. Daily CAP should be raised to 25,000 or even 30,000.
Thank goodness for a friendly Mesmer. She put on a tag, invited all in chat to join, ported all to every checkpoint and token, then to the end.
Done with it.
Well, this hasn’t been merged with the main mount thread, which they usually are and quite quickly when they appear. So I would hazard a guess that Anet is thinking about caving in and implementing mounts.
Allow those that purchased HoT to have more PvE options for dailies, just include dailies that those that did not purchase HoT have access to. Those that purchased HoT shouldn’t be penalized because they bought the EXP.
So, making more grind for this no grind game would be your suggestion? Doing the same 5 hearts for 30 days?
And how would putting exclusive gem shop items in game affect Anets’ bottom line? As Khisanth pointed out—they would prefer players to buy gem with real money. At least Anet allows you to exchange in game gold for gems.
Where did you get the idea this is a no grind game?! Gw2 is one of the most grindy MMOs out there its just not forced on you like others. It takes longer to get raid gear (ascended gear) in Gw2 than it does in games like WoW. I played the WoW xpac and it took me a week and a half to be raid ready and I wasn’t playing as much as one would think.
The more skins and things to get/do in the game more people will play the game resulting in more gem sales. No one is asking them to stop making gem store specific skins. All I am asking for is also skins in-game I can work towards without having to just spam farm gold..
Sorry, it was tongue in cheek and a poor attempt at humor. There are many posts from other players and employees that there is no forced grind, it is a choice or other some other reason. I really can’t be bothered to find the threads (which is another grind since the search option is broken). The bottom line is I don’t believe that Anet will change their revenue model to reduce their income in anyway shape or form. If you really want something and don’t want to not grind for gold, then your credit card is your only option.
And comparing a subscription based game to a F2P for limited access or buy the game for full access is ridiculous. Of course things would be quicker to achieve in a monthly subscription model, they want you to continue to subscribe.

Seems to me a group of Mes guild mates could set up ports at each check point to the next check point. Maybe it is impossible to do so, but then again I would gladly make some sort of donation to the guild if they made it happen. Unless Anet has disabled a perfectly legitimate mesmer skill (which is a poor precedent to establish).
It is more than evil so much so it is joke. Make a JP like this is fine for those that want to torture themselves. BUT NO WAY SHOULD ANY tokens/collections ect be a part of it. Have a separate RNG reward. As soon as I saw the pre-release vid I knew that it would be something that I would want nothing to do with and after many failed attempts I quit an will never try it again. Hard is one thing but poor design and implementation is quite another. 2 thumbs down.
The ‘exploit’ was even a part of Dulfys’ guide. So I would think more than a ‘small faction’ given the popularity of the site as well as the wiki guide. So ya the achievement should be reset for all. If they don’t do that, drop it to 20 apples for the rest to get this no grind achievement.
Dulfy for me thanks. Broken down nicely there and can pick what you want to look at. Maps with locations and txt and you don’t have you watch vids if you don’t want too to all the info that you need.
I am going to say – I do not like the Jumping Puzzle, nor that a mastery point and the map’s Full Achievement are tied to it. From what I’ve seen (Having completed it with the help of a map-breaker enthusiast mesmer), the puzzle isn’t for Jumping Puzzle enthusiasts – it’s for map-breakers. The use of gliding in the puzzle is great… but the sheer amount of dishonest geometry (Cliffs that look to steep to land on but aren’t, and platforms that look shallow enough to land on but aren’t), glitchy jumps (Either single, seemingly-arbitrary points to stand on dishonest geometry, and jumps exceeding normal jump height and angle, and jumps combining both, over unrecoverable falls), the puzzle goes from “Fun adventure” to “Complete bullkitten”
^ 100% agree. . Without watching the online vids, I wouldn’t have a clue where to go. After watching a few vids, and a few failed tries I got my POI and will never enter the puzzle again.
Also— added items (petrified wood) need a wallet space (as do rubies and any other currency added to the game.).
And, BTW, it’s based on PST ( where the offices are). So you will be waiting even longer. What is tomorrow for you will still be the middle of the night there. So it will be a longer wait for your time zone.
Since the OP is raiding and likely has the best armor, weapons and skills sets etc. , I would suggest that maybe it’s time to stay out of the starter zones and just play the end game and stick to the harder content instead of trying to encourage Anet to make the game more difficult for those that are not as elite. FE is a starter area, you know what to expect when you go to low level areas.
I needed over an hour for Southsun alone because I could not find the last 2 targets and had to start over twice. Overall this “Primordus Go” was a pretty frustrating experience.
Why did the sensor buff even have a 30min timer?
BTW, just finished the cove in less than 10 minutes, even with all the areas being contested. Ya it is bad that we have to wait until the next update on the 20th, but by now we all know that Anet continues to add time gates to the game and I am sure they are aware it frustrates some players.
And for those that got it before the fix, lucky you!
