Guild Wars 2

I hope they won’t add anything like this. The dc’s are great! They are the only way for me to jump into full maps shortly before the reward without grinding all the events for hours!

Would be great if anet could fix this bug. Especially in wvw&eotm working autoloot would be awesome. Missed couple champ bags because I didn’t realize the mastery didn’t work there!

You can currently only get one. It’s part of the crystal Glieder gemshop pack.

Since HoT release anet already fixed two wrong decisions:
- ridculous itzel story requirement
- crazy Eltern spec requirements

What still needs to be fixed and hopefullay won’t take too long:
- the unbelievable crazy amount the final story enemy has (if you do it solo)
- XP needed for HoT mastery’s (to max them! Tyria mastery are fine, thanks to cof p2)
- the whole stupid dragons map (increase timer to 4h or more and nerf the dann HP and dmg needed for the these champs!)
- generallythe final HoT map metas! increase the timers or decrease the dmg needed for to success!

After anet changes these four points, HoT is gonna be the best Expansion possible!

Thanks. One thing, correct me if I’m wrong but I think even in the US it should be wednesday today.

+ lost these 20-30 AP too…

No. White wings have been availabe more than 2 times this year already. Pls someone merge this thread into https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Suggestions-Gemstore-Items

Now serving three types of cheese to accompany all this whining ..

Of course I realize people cry about change because they feel they are cheated out of something … Egads! I tried key farming and found it to be a losing proposition. I had a stack of chests and did the math and considered it far more cost effective to roll a key runner than to drain my bank account … While I could get a key every twenty minutes during my run I usually got two or three more chests … I was actually going backward, so after I accumulated another half stack of chests I abandoned the idea of key farming …

…and to address those people who claim they only have seen very few key drops since the beginning all I can say is kittens to be you … I have got at least one key a month (mind you, I get about five chests a week) and often for doing minor things, like killing a river skale … It’s always unexpected but always welcomed …

Sometimes people know about what they write. You should speak with one of these people. Fact is: You won’t get a key/month. Map reward keys are not part of the ridicoulus rng.
- If you don’t want to get all blc weapons for achievements, good for you. If you don’t want to achieve/get ingame content like these achievement, good for you.
- If you think others are “whining” because they want achievements and the content reachable, good for you.
- If you don’t want to play for fun but instead want to grind (like in every f2p asia grinder), good for you.

Sadly, I don’t want/like any of the above.

Don’t buy gw1 for achievs (because they will take you over a year hardcore grinding)! Buy gw1 because: gw1 >>>>>> gw2!

At first halloween, like 15 times harder. Since the second release, like 0.5% harder than the geyser one in southsun^^

It all doesn’t matter! The only thing that is important: If Trahearne becomes a modrem, than Anet has to let us kill im over and over again! Killing Trahearne for eternity would be the most awesome feature HoT could implement!

I run gw2 often in a vm (virtual machine).

If your goal is to run multiple clients, all you need to do is use the -shareArchive option to prevent GW2 from locking Gw2.dat and then kill the mutex which is what prevents multiple instances from being opened.

Thanks I know that
It’s more a security reason^^ I have one vm for interent access with a virus scan software and one only for gw2. On the gw2 vm I have no virus detection program or anything else on it, because it speeds up the ingame loading time alot^^
(Currently I got it to a point where the “map loading time” takes only around 6 seconds. Compared to the 45 seconds on my usual gaming system, that is an awesome increase^^)

Thanks, but that’s not a usual spam mail

The links and mail is real (of course I checked them in the mail body and not only text or browserlink^^).

Luckly I found this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3oswu8/got_all_my_accounts_banned_and_it_doesnt_make/

So it starts to make sense^^ For my account there might be two reasons why I got that “false flag mail”:
1. I run gw2 often in a vm (virtual machine). Seems like reddit that anet might have made there an error^^
2. The beta charslots got removed. Well anet gave out the deluxe upgrade bonuses again at the time they created the beta account copy. So might be the same reason that they “shutdown” the beta copy and their automatic system just mailed me…

So far I’m pretty sure that it is a real mail, but it’s just seems to be sent out wrongfully^^ (Well mistakes can happen^^)

Edit: Because someone asked me ingame: I’m not and I was never banned, only got these wrong e-mail^^ I guess after these threads emerged on reddit, anet fixed whatever caused the error^^

Hi,

I have kind of a curious problem. First off: I use my e-mail account for gw2 only for gw2 and nothing else. I never did use any third-party tools or anything else wrong ingame. I know from other mail accounts some of the usual gw2 scam e-mails, which are usually easy to identify.

Important: I did nothing wrong and my account is of course NOT banned! So I try to figure out what kind of scam the attached mail is.

What my Question is: I checked the whole e-mail, compared the mail details with old ones (some month ago about gemshop purchase) I had from gw2 support (ip adress and if it’s really from your zendesk system, -> yes). The mail just looks totally real for me???

So I don’t know if there is some system error or how/what someone could get out by this kind of scam.

Edit: I figured out that the Beta charslots have been removed. Might this be the reason for the mail?

Pink Ninja Man.4375:

Changes coming with the expansion:

• Magumna Jungle
• Raids
• Guild Halls
• Mastry
• Legendary Gear
• Second set of legendary weapons
• Elite Specilizations
• Revenant

Let me fix that list part for you:

Changes coming with the expansion:

• Guild Halls
• Mastery
• Revenant
• 4 maps in the already existing Magumna Jungle
• until end of 2015 maybe some raid parts
• Maybe with raid introduction some legendary gear
• Three, yes 3 new legendary weapons
• One new Traitline called “Elite Specilizations”

Seriously? Seriously? Seriously?

The black and white wings have been available over two times this year already! You even get some new kind of wings with halloween.

Anet should not reintroduce the same gemshop items hundrets of times each year! Best would be if anet would just state each gemshop item is only available one time a year and if you missed it, just wait a year until its rerelease. That would save so much forumspace.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Jungle_Explorer_Outfit ?

If King Thorn isn’t so Mad this year, everyone will just leave back to gw1 and enjoy King Thorn

The answer why halloween release + HoT release are on the same day is easy:

It’s called stress test.

Which means on october 23rd all gw2 players will be totally stressed and probably some devs too. (Of course only if anyone can login )

Suggestion: Wait until Oktober 23rd and find out like everyone else

Zealot is one of the only well balanced asc stat combination, regarding recipe/craft <→ cost/value comparison. Hopefully all the other asc crafted items are part of the economic changes John Smith announced. All other stats are earned way to easily and way to cheap! Anet should raise their prices by at least 200g each part!

Remember when anet maid new fractal maps? Good times… because as of now we are getting the same dozen we have all been doing the last 2-3 years.

As far as I know, the majority of fotm maps are getting large overhauls.

Could you find the source for that because as far as i know they aren’t changing any of the maps.

seems like I messed up, the instabilities are getting a makeover.

Didn’t anet only say that fractals will be split into 1 per level, levels will be raised to 100, and instabilities + some new ones will be put on the higher fractal levels?

I’m wondering why so many veterans get angry on these changes.

We the veterans have already thousands of materials stockpiled and some thousand gold. We probably all did every dungeon for some hundred times during the last 3 years.

Dungeon nerf or every nerf focused on the current gw2 areas is totally awesome! That just means that we the veterans will stay forever richer/further than newbies or f2p. So while we can get awesome loot and new expensive stuff playing HoT, casuals and f2p’s can grind like forever for us.

Just to add tp flipping is awesome. It’s the core basic part in the whole gw2 eonomy. One thing is for sure: Whatever happens, tp flipping will be there until the gw2 servers all shutdown.

Actually the report abuse warning is something pretty good and I hope anet bans people that abuse it.
About botting:
I know what you mean from 2012, haven’t seen any of these ingame since over 2 years.
Currently I would say that we as other real player can’t see any bots ingame. I think there might be no open world bots these days.
So the answer to your question would be: no.

On the other side it seems that there are more and more people reporting others as bots only because they have no idea what someone is doing. Some examples:

- pvp rankfarm arena (Since f2p I saw some people there claiming all others are bots because they don’t play “pvp”…)
- gathering mats with alot char (I have ~15 char standing next to a rich iron node and antoher ~10 at the spinach farm in gendarran. It’s unbelievable how much people stand there and accuse you to be a bot or hacker if you just login for the daily gathering…)
- autowalking (Autowalking is one of the best features, but of course it often happens that you just walk against something in the way. For example if you want to get a coffee or something. Especially in the starting areas I have seen people accusing others/me as bots only because autowalking into a wall or anything else for some minutes.)
- chat (Of course you sometimes spam some guild informations or world informations like a organized triple trouble on chat / multiple maps. It’s one of the funniest things that sometimes people in these cases write that you are a bot…)
- afk/waiting for example at silverwaste (You joined a 90% sw map and the other 10% just seem to take forever. Of course you just go afk, but there are people claiming you are a bot… In my opinion thats the most annoying case.)

There are hundrets of other little things where people might think some real player are bots. So best thing would be, if you suspect someone, just whisper him. If you don’t get an answer, wait some minutes and than maybe report the person. Luckly as far as I see it, anet doesn’t just ban someone for a report, they are looking into it and check it case to case.

Silk is awesome! Don’t change anything that impacts ascing crafting.

Whoever doesn’t like it, buy it with gold from ah! (Or from me )

Did really anyone think raids are not full zerker content? Just remember, zerker is love, zerker is everything, zerker is awesome, zerker is best, only play zerker!

You don’t miss scarlet. You misst regular new content.

Thats why gw2 is so much better than other mmo. No mounts, no DPS meter, some good time sinks and no boring forced way todo dungeons with some crappy trinity.

Other games have these things. Other games are crap.

PopeUrban.2578:

… and influence can be turned in to time based NPCs for the new favor, but they also said it is far less efficient to do that than to just stockpile banners. …

Anyone has a link or further information on that influence part? (Didn’t know that yet and it’s kind of important )

Edit: Thanks rhapsody. I didn’t see that at dulfy before^^

Why should anything change with them with HoT? On the new map (betatests) have been the same materials we already have on other maps (mithril, elder wood, …).

So probably there won’t be any higher tier materials which can’t be gathered bei orichalcum tools.
In case there will be higher tier gather materials, they probably will be still harvested by unlimited tools or that they will be gained like the t7 mats from fractals.

You never now, but currently I think chances very, very, very low that the unlimited tools won’t harvest everything with/after HoT.

ladyosheep.3548:

This is not true for us. We did guild missions last Sunday. We can also do them today and receive credit (we did a guild trek to test this in the morning today.)

Because it’s kind of important: Did anyone who did it already since last reset now earn guild commendations?

Behellagh.1468:

They had a raffle last year.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Collector_Terksli

Exactly.

Possibility that raffle will be done again: 99%
Possibility that the halloween items will be reintroduced in any way that really impacts their TP value: 0.001%
Possibility that some accountbound way will be introduces: 0.999%

(All % numbers above are taken from my personal opinion.)

Most of your ideas are nice. Only the ‘lava mount’ ideas should be removed. Everything with the name “mount” in it is bad!

About the rest, I hope anet will add alot of such ideas and more convenience mastery’s too. The nice thing about the mastery system is, that anet can add billions of possibilities to have a very long time endgame for everyone.
Only new people might get overwhelmed by all the possibilities after a while. (but they would just have to farm/grind them, so it wouldn’t be a big problem)

Did anyone today already test if the keyrun key reset did also change to Monday?

Better farm maps like kitten instead of being forced todo world completion for the 10th time or todo boring dungeon paths and fractals over and over.
Same with raids, why should anet focus on content noone wants and less than 0.1% would even play. Instead anet should create some nice big farmmaps which would be played by at least 50% of their customers regulary.

Papierkorb.2301:

Nah, I just got the feeling that if the party/squad thingy would work properly, those 3 bosses would be dead within hours.

Maybe that was Anets plan to really make those raids challenging.

What did you think challenging meant? That it takes month until the raid is completed for the first time worldwide?

Of course the raid areas will be very soon have so much guides so a full squad can clear them in an hour. Luckly that’s what challenging group content is in gw2.

If it would be so hard that it would take a very long time to complete it, anet would lose 90% of their customers only to make 0.005% happy

Yep, 1.5k is way to low. It’s still kind of confusing that anet limits account upgrades. I mean account upgrades could/should be the best way to earn money.

It would be great if most of these limits would get raised or removed, like:
- material storage
- char limit (64 is reached pretty easily)
- bagslot on each char (I never understood why this got limited anyway)
- bank space (11 is like nothing…)
- crafting disciples (it’s fine that it costs money, but why not just sell 7 instead of only 4)

And these aren’t even any ideas that would change anything ingame (like the often suggested account wide “play items slot”). These raises would only let anet earn a lot more money. Like I wrote already, I never understood why buying these is limited in the first place.

Xytor.1267:

The idea is players can receive in addition to karma, a special currency when completing events in a region. This currency is used to purchase new recipes, pets, tonics, collectibles, etc, unique to that region.

Example:

Kryta Region

Currency: Seraph Badges (different from the trophies)

• Seraph Armor and Weapon recipes
• Miniature Centaur, Seraph Soldier, Bandit
• Centaur, Seraph Soldier, Bandit Tonics
• An Ascended Piece (after all Seraph Armor and Weapons have been collected)
• Kryta Collector Achievement Track, in the flavor of Bioluminescence

Just a suggestion for something farther down the line when the lull sets in many months after HoT.

I don’t know if any of the people that posted before me read any HoT announcements.

With HoT we will get these region tokens exactly how you suggested it!!! There will be at least one for kryta, ascalon, maguuma and shiverpeak mountains. Probably even more. Unfortunatly it is not known yet what you can buy with them, but it’s similar to geodes and bandit crests.

How about just creating a stat combination which can be played by every class? How about that stat combination would only need some (basic) skill to use, but would help at any content and be the nicest and fastest way for content? How about a stat combination where it doesn’t matter how experienced you are of if you are new? How about a stat combination everyone only has to build only one time (light/medium/heavy) and that would let them switch runes/sigils pretty easy? How about that these stat combination would be wanted by everyone?

Such gear and stat combination would be really awesome! Well, I think maybe we have it already!!!
It’s called: Ascended berserker gear!

The crafting time limit is the best crafting design decision anet made. Greatest thing is, people that play the game for a while get a nice little extra income regulary and people that only play for a limited timeframe can just buy everything of the tp for gold or $$.

Luckly anet won’t change anything about it with HoT. It’s awesome like it is right now!

Let’s hope the new crafting disciple (for guilds) and new items for asc/legy gear will all be easy to get but timegated for 3-6 month.
All the gold you can make would be awesome!

To put all together:

- Only first time introduced new skins are one ticket
- They stay one ticket until a new set is released and then they are increased to 2 or 3 tickets
- Since these skins are not new but old ones returning, they cost 2 or 3 or 5 or 7 (7= fused weapons) tickets. Depending on how many weapons are part of the set and at when/how they have been introduced first
- Black lion collections return between 5 and 7 blc tickets for full sets
- The Bloody Prince’s Toybox Collection returns 5 tickets
- Basically if Halloween collection would cost 1 ticket/weapon, you only would have to buy one ticket to get all 6 weapons
- That would undervalue halloween weapons massively on the TP in comparison to all other blc weapons

Dungeon sellers are awesome, best in gw2. Noone really wants todo such long boring dungeon ways like arah, it’s nice to just buy them! (to get tokens for dungeon master )

Why…. Black and white wings have been available more than 2 times this year. The last time wasn’t even one month ago. Sadly they probably come back at least a 3rd time this year.

I hope anet changes it’s gemshop policy with HoT. It would be awesome if anet would give a clear rule on returning each gemshop item only once per year. That would be awesome!

Corelion.7460:

White wings.. please…

Seriously? They have been available not even one month ago… Already been available 2 times this year… Probably available during wintersday sale again… So seriously?…

How about pvp finishers (like chickonado), would be great in gemshop, please…

maddoctor.2738:

If all precursors are like that then the whole process is useless for any precursor that is worth below 400g. What’s the point in collecting materials that will give you 400g if the precursor itself is 200g, just sell the mats and BUY it instead of crafting it! The mats you got having fun and being on the journey btw.

But isn’t that the awesome thing about the (mostly) free market in gw2? Too expensive pre will be done by collections and if alot legy’s are sold the TP pre’s will get cheaper. Too cheap pre will be bought from the TP until their price raised to the point where the collections are the same worth.
So basically the TP pre price will adjust around the same area you have to pay for the collection (+ maybe something for the non gold related activities).

So instead of the current relation:
rng luck → materials price → ingame stuff (world exploration etc.) = legy price

There will be a new one:
[(Ingame stuff → material price → ingame stuff) or (rng luck)] → materials price → ingame stuff = legy price

atheria.2837:

TS is a disaster for many – thumbing of noses at devs and anet’s abuse rules in general are being ignored by not being aware of, and in control of, voice communications.

Even console games which have much less memory but far more graphics can handle a voice stream, which is a very small ding on bandwidth – it’s just aonther sound so I’d like a switch turn off music or any sounds necessary to have voice capability.

Anet? Please, move MMOs forward where they should be.

Give us voice capability soon.

I would like bandwith more. TS is something way better than a ingame solution. First of all TS activities are community build an based. Secondly on TS the community can decide on rulesets and decide in everything for themself.

Why should anet force ingame speaking and even have to control it and remove some fun&freedome from playing the game?
(I don’t understand what the discussion point is. What would be ingame better or what trouble is it just using ts or anything else?)

If it’s empty (black) it’s done, if it’s full (yellow) it’s not. Not sure which CB type would hide that fact.

I havent been online since patch came but they switched it around?

No, the new version is: Green = incomplete, Yellow/gold = complete. See my first post for the incomplete and the most recent for an image of complete.

Incomplete is green? I saw gold on both but the completed one has a filled in black center (looks like a person’s head and shoulders).

I can’t see any green icon too.

Walkure.9056:

Is the OP playing in colorblind modus? If not, maybe they did account for this in the said modus.
I like the new icons (unlike the old skillpoints), but I found them very hard to see before this patch so I’m glad they fixed that.

Gw2 has a colorblind modus? How to acivate/use it?

Aberrant.6749:

I see people asking for low cost high grind pre’s… I never thought that this is what was being asked for by the majority of people. I thought people were just wanting a way of obtaining them without having to rely on mystic forge RNG… and that part seems fair enough to me.

If they were to make pre’s too cheap to obtain then the T6 market etc. would spike and just make up that cost difference anyways, so I don’t see the point in that. If you were to make a high grind, then you could have spent that same time grinding for gold, so it doesn’t change things much and again I don’t see the point.

Thanks, thats exactly what I thoguht remembering the hundrets of threads where actually only rng was called as an issue and lierally noone ever complained about the price itself.
Even the most expensive pre’s cost less than 50% of a legendary. I don’t really understand why this thread is always shifted to the ‘I want it cheaper’ idea. Cheaper pre would mean cheaper legendary’s and we all now that anet since release never wanted to change that overall legendary price.
