Guild Wars 2

Yes, they don’t accept EU cards if you try to buy in $…. You need a US one and then you have to use a fake address as shipping details too which might complicate everything if you add it to an existing EU account…

It’s one thing to put no new content into the current game. It’s another thing to charge a crazy amount of $ for close to no content called Living Story.

To ask for 45€ for a small expansion (which is probably less then the LS+gemshop skins until now) is way beyond crazy and unrealistic.

Anyone knows if veterans can just buy the 2.000 gems digital deluxe upgrade in gemshop after HoT release and then own it? (20-25€ for the digital deluxe gw2+HoT upgrade on existing accounts is the only realistic and reasonable price!)

I still hope anet releases the weapons skin sets currently just to have a circulation base ingame. I think they are now at a point where they could just stop releasing completly new weapon skin sets and just put old ones for 1 ticket in again.

At the time anet introduced these sets they said something like this, that they want to give them out for a while, then increase price, then remove and after some month/years reintroduce.
That would be still the only smart decision for the collections because seriously a new player now could never ever get all BLC collections.

PS: And I think anet thought about this lately again, because since some month they clearly write on their patch notes that the BLC sets are only removed for several month (whatever several means here^^).

What you all forget is that there are people with lot of alts. I have 25 char and around 20 bagslot upgrades on ~12 of them. So changing bagslots account wide would be nice, but there would have to be some rules:

1. If they just add them accountwide, then these would have to cost 400gems*3*every accountchar-already bought ones. This way it would cost way to much for everyone.
2. If they sell them like 1 acc-wide slot for 1k gems, then they would have to refund everyone who bought already more!!! (It would be in no way ok that people like me paid ~8k gems and others get them for their account for 1k… or something.)

So either way if anet changes anything at bagslot, the only loser will be anet. Because they will either have to refund thousands of gems to people with lot alts and bags or they would have to create extremly high acc-wide pricetags in the 10k gems area and then noone will buy them anymore.

In my opinion they should only change the price tag. For each bag you bought they should decrease the price for 10gems. If I buy my first slot then I pay 400gems, for the second 390, for the 20th 200, for the 30th 100 and at 100gems per slot should be a minimum cap then.

That way everyone profits. Anet will lose closely to no money from the “one char only” players and people with lot of alts can buy more bags on their alts for a reasonable price.
Think about it, currently if I would only have my 25 char, I would have to pay $375 for all chars to have full bagslots, that amount is just wrong!

I tested it today with daily chests, everything opened automatically in my inventory after relog/map change.

@guy above me, that’s just WRONG! Please at least try such things in the current gw2 version instead just writing wrong or way outdated informations.

It doesn’t matter if you have 4, 12, 100 bonuschests.
Fact is as soon as you relog or port to a different map only 4 chests remain “blinking” and all the others will be automatically opened and their content added to your inventory!
No chest is ever lost! (only if you let them blinking and log out and delete that char, but then it is your fault^^)

PS: @Sylar: At tequatl you get these bonuschests only 1x per day and only if you did enough dmg on each quarter at tequatl and if you got credit for each laser event. If you only got the exotic one, then you probably only did enough dmg on tequatl after he was lower then 25%.

I have no idea what OP means. In gw2 crafting is the second best and easiest way to increase value and make alot of money. Only better way is tp trading.

People that think that they can’t earn much gold through crafting should really play more gw2 and learn about the crafting system. And it takes alot of time! On some days I have to spend more then 6h straight just to craft some hundret Items (of course with xxx gold earning ).

Gw2 is not a one char/race game. I think anet did a great job to give out special armors and storyparts to each race (and partly charclass).
If someone wants all achievements, all storyparts and all armors, then these people just have to play 5-8 different char. That’s one of the things that helps a lot to have “full” starting/beginner areas.

There are no mounts in gw1. There shall never be any mounts in gw2!

Don’t think something like that will ever happen, because then noone would ever use or buy transmutation charges.

PS: Don’t get me wrong, I would love this

maddoctor.2738:

In Southsun Survival the immobilization starts with a long delay, after each round you can move around and pick up items and then you can kill your foes while they can’t do anything. It has been bugged like this for ages.

In Sanctum Sprint, the algorithm that helps players who join late is almost always broken. Sometimes it might teleport a late player one checkpoint before the end making the whole race thing pointless

In Crab Toss there is an insane amount of graphics lag and it has been like this it was released. For such a small “arena” the amount of lag and the lower FPS is unacceptable. Also, they still reward only the last player which makes the entire thing annoying when 12 players fight. Lastly, there is tons of griefing with the fishing pole, even though they could stop it easily by making it disappear after a set amount of time

There is always a contest in Keg Brawl between those who want to play legit and those who want to farm the achievements. Arguments, insults and toxicity are always common when you make content on which players have conflicting goals, similar to how players want to complete some events while others want them to fail in order to farm. It’s always bad to have conflicting objectives in a cooperative game and Keg Brawl is a prime example

Lol you are funny.
- Southsun: This is a really rare bug and it is usually very funny if really someone didn’t get immobilized. Anyway it happens around 1/1000 games, so I don’t see the whole thing “bugged”
- Sanctum: That’s intended. It happens only after 3-5 already finished and to put new people near the end so they can finish in time until the map resets. Only negative thing would be that someone new could be 6th instead of someone running all the way, but who cares about these places. The people there are way to slow anyway.
- Crab Toss: No lag or graphics bug at all. If your internet connection sucks and you have lags in gw2 then you might have problems there. I never had any lag there so this problem happens only for a small amount of people
- Keg Brawl: What? I had more then 200 matches, never ever anyone wrote/complained about doing only achievements. No toxity seen there too.

Actually I think daily activity is one of the most important daily’s, because especially new player wouldn’t even now of activitys without it. Anet should put acitivitys more in player focus (like an arena on any pve map to gather people). Of course I agree that the reward for activity daily should be increased (at least doubled or a guaranteed yellow item).

@Yalora: You realize that this doesn’t work? If you haven’t done at least 3 daily then you will just see them.

Only ways around it:
- Do 3 daily each day
- Highlight any other achievement (but then you will see this single one)

Thats it.

950g for this beautiful color? Might buy them later and relist them for 1.800g, that’s the least someone should pay for such an awesome dye!!!

@opener: that is completly normal if you play alot. When I played 8h/day, then I made a full boss rotation and got none yellow items (beside the chest guaranteed ones). During the time I salvaged each day ~1000 rare it was the same, at first I got like 900 ectos out of them, some days later I was lucky to get more then 700…
Same for magic find, I had weeks where I salvaged 10.000 greens a day and sometimes it where over ~40.000 luck from them on other days it where ~10.000, just rng.

In conclusion it’s just very rng based and I think there is a dimishing return part in it.
Of course it would be nice if anet changed their rng system to something more countable, but that might never happen…

When anet introduced the new tequatl it bothered me a lot of times that I got dc’s. I switched every setting ingame to the lowest possible, since then I had no dc at all.

Now I actually like these dc’s because I get very often one of these spots during sw/teq/worm and so I don’t have to wait 30-60 minutes without doing something for these encounters.

Exactly 50€ each year. So by now 150€, because I think that players should pay for real content like LS2 or account upgrades. I will never pay any cent for skins or the other crap from the shop, for that I changed around 20.000 Gold (y… I still have no legendary…) → Gems over the last 3 years.

With all respect to the thread opener, this is the third thread you opened about your opinion to some gw2 leveling/gameplay mechanics in less then 10 days…

You got already over 100 posts that most of these things you ‘dislike’ in gw2 are a core element and loved by most other gw2 players and that some of your ‘likes’ are different after you played a while or hasn’t been experienced the same as you have.

I really want to ask you kindly what you expect from this 3rd thread what isn’t already answered in your other to threads:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/GW2-leveling-is-way-too-fast/first
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Why-is-Anet-so-protective-1/first

You can do all 3 daily’s every day starting from lvl 1. Go to your race capital and from there to lions arch, there pvp/wvw can be unlocked with any char on any lvl. You don’t need lvl18 to complete these dailys.

When I started my 2nd account I wondered about how this npe change works too, because seriously I think this is very confusing for new and old players. However, it doesn’t block any progress, the dailys itself are fine.

I leaded more then enough farm zergs on any map that I can tell you for sure that on every map a zerg farms the people that want “progress” are a minority of 2-5 usually.

I know that for sure because when I was leading at coiled watch we usually entered a new map and then got all people on this map through lfg tool. Problem is and was if there joined ~5 people before a farm starts or after the farm happend a while. But these people can join other megaserver instances.

I don’t understand why people have problems joining non organized megaserver maps. I’m on EU. For another instance I just join as a guest one full french, or german, or spain, or english server and it is 100% everytime another megaserver map. I know that works on AE too.

What the “blocking progress” people never understand is, that the farming zergs used time and effort to get a large amount of people with the same goal (farming) on that spot. Even while queensdale farm, usually you only joined these farm maps if you joined with lfg tool. Of course it happend that some single player joined them by accident, but again these can join another map easier then a 150 people zerg.

What I agree on 100% is that the attacking other people is totally wrong. From my experience with farming 1.000+ hours at these zergs the aggressive attacks mostly start through trolls or lonely single players that want everyone else to play for them.
Of course most of the times it takes only 3-4 sentences and then the farming zerg (majority with 100+ people) flame these individuals back.
I don’t like that and I have never flamed anyone who just asked. But at times when we farmed ~1h without problems and then joins 1 selfish player who disturbs everyone and annoys everyone, well at these cases I can’t complain about flaming them.

So yea the big problem are selfish people which want to force others to play their style, but in my opionion that happens mostly through the minority and I think that is the point where anet has to change something ingame. Not by nerfing one farmspot after another.

Actually you wrote exactly what I meant… A minority here on the forums or ingame don’t like the majority to organize and have fun. So farms have to be destroyed with such unreal usually a little bit selfish arguments like “blocking LS progress”, “needed for heart” or “want that event”.

Funny part is, that usually the same people later start to complain that there is no groupcontent and that most maps are empty.
A great example for this is the temple farm (where you buy obsi shards at end of event chain) which was destroyed shortly after megaserver introduction. At this farm you killed only the undead which spawned 3 events earlier and you failed the event over and over. A minority of people complained about it “because it blocks progress and we can’t go to the temple event, but we need these obsi shards”. Solution was that anet destroyed the farm and now the map is empty. Now aren’t even enough people there for the temple events….
Same with coiled watch, everyone who “needed for LS” could have just guested on another megaserver instance (yes if you select guest on character select and just take any other full server, then u usually get a new megaserver instance!). But no, minority had to scream loud, and now? I have done this LS part 2 weeks ago again, it is closely impossible todo now because there is noone there anymore and for doing it solo it takes to much time…. great solution

The problem has never been that there are farmes or organized groups. The problem is usually that a single player or a minority gets on these maps and thinks that all other 150 player have to work for their goals now.
Best solution still would be to remove the event medals, because then it is not “blocking any progress” and these minority has to get silent then.
Another solution would be to allow guilds to “create” own map instances where only people can join that are “allowed” (with lfg tool). Then you could create farm maps, event maps, roleplay maps, or just roaming maps and all these “specail individuals” can meet on empty megaserver maps and do their “blocking progress” goals by their own. Sadly anet will never do this, because then other content like world bosses would be done by players on private maps only too

I wonder from where all these farm hating people come all the time (I don’t mean op or anyone writing here!). Or in other words: Why some people always think that their personal way to play the game should stand above the way and fun of the majority?

I really wish anet stops listening to these people because everytime anet listens to the minority the game gets more boring for the majority.

A minority cried about queensdale → anet broke it, then frostgorge → anet broke it, then maize balm farms → anet broke it mostly, and now a little minority cries about cursed shore farm and silverwastes farm…
And everytime the only partly reasonable argument is "because there is an event that I want/need)…

I think the best solution would be if anet would remove the bronze/silver/gold medals for events. Then noone could cry about farmers and players that want to have fun. And it would finally take away any reasonable argument the anti farming hater have.
It would even help casual player because then the need to complete events would be gone, so you could drop by to an attack or defending something and just leave whenever the part you want is done.

I think I know what crashs you mean, but that happens since release. I thought that might be another bot prevention system.

For example if you open bags fast enough, it seems that it stucks for some seconds after a a certain amount opened/min. I think a lot of people encounter that sometimes (because we still have no “open all” function but get xxxx+ loot bags all the time…).

I saw only two ways a crash happens while salvaging large amounts of items. First one is, if you have full inventory and the result of the salvaged item opens in one of these “popup” windows. If you just salvage more and more there will come a point the game crashs.
Second thing I saw one time, was from a person using a script to salvage ~100+ items in around 5-10 seconds and there gw2 crashed.

In my opinion both ways for crashs are kind of an intended anti botting system, because noone can salvage manually that fast.
And I personally think thats a good way how it is, because no player reaches this “maximum” for a crash, but every automation for salvaging items will get stuck/break through it. So even if it’s not intended, I hope that anet won’t “fix” here anything.

PS: The solution is obviously to salvage manually ~50-100 items and then take 1-2 min. break doing something else^^

At the beginning of last wintersday was a price on it. They removed it because of the insane amount you get from gifts (it created to much gold).

I don’t recall where exactly anet wrote it, but somewhere a dev said just to destroy it if you won’t use it.

You probably already built them and didn’t activate them. You can use the add function again as soon as you activate these two under “current upgrades”.

You can only have 1 of most of the guild upgrades or 10 for banner/guild missons or 5 for wvw stuff.

I still hope that anet will remove all the useless gear stat combinations with HoT expansion.
We really just need berserker in pve, all the others are just for unexperienced under lvl80 players. Especially if there would be only berserker gear left in pve it would make it way easier for anet to balance the enemies right.
(You saw at HoT beta that the enemys are easy targets, they only took like hours to kill because of such useless stuff as celestial gear.)

Best solution and all problems solved for everyone: Remove every gear that isn’t berserker.

I don’t understand why you still try to argument for “rezz dead people” (at least it seems like it for me). You got all core facts that clearly show that dead people using wp is the only good solution!

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/26vke4/boss_blitz_scaling_revelead/
“Defeated players and out-of-combat players also count.” -> Defeated have to wp away.

How Cyninja wrote it great:

Player is now back in action and does his 10k dps. He would have to do full 30 seconds of 10k dps to even break even on the investment of time on people ressurecting him. Now let’s multiply this example up by 3-4 people dead. Am I getting some where?

So especially at vw if even one player rezzes a dead one, the revived one NEVER will put enough dmg on the boss to compensate the loss. -> Only solution, dead wp away!

On top off this 2 points come things like tequatl where obviously anyone who trys to rezz a dead person is wasting everyones time. Especially at tequatl where the wp isn’t far away, everyone has to wp instead of hurting all others.

Basically in conclusion at any point ingame dead people should use the next wp. There is no reason at all to stay dead and to wait until someone rezzes.

Just want to give an update and that it is solved.

After we contacted CS Team, we had really luck to get a very friendly and helpfull support staff. We asked the support if they could rename the whole guild because of these special circumstances (after 2.5 years).
Luckly Anet agreed in this special case to rename it, so now our guild name is [RUC] Riverside United Corps.

So basically what you are saying is, that you think ascended is to expensive and you don’t want to get it and your solution is to nerf to exo value so you don’t want to build it anymore?

So basically what I’m saying then is, that ascended armor is currently way to cheap, everyone, even the worst only 5 min./day playing casual can get it in less than a month. You even could just buy it with some real $…

I agree that ascended armors should get more extras, for example these things you mentioned and to increase value they should get soulbound again (so you cant charswap it), but hell there is not even one reason to nerf it in it’s stats or value.

Edit: But I really hope more extra things on weapons and armors and higher stats will only introduced with legendary armor/trinkets. So ascended would then be the fast middle goal to get, until everyone would buy the legendary highend stuff.

Why buff exotics in the first place?
The smarter and way better way would be to buff ascended stats way more so it gets a necessary gear tier and increase the material cost a little bit. With that way all problems are solved.

It happens since more then a year. Issue is that still some players unlock these skins in pvp. If you unlock skins in pvp this collection issue MAY happen!

From time to time there are reports that after an patch anet fixed it for some or alot of players. So actually anet is working on this in the background, but noone really knows how or at which point they completly fix it.

Only thing you can do: Go on with other collections/things and just check after updates if your collection is set to completion.

@ gamer: If it has been more then 3 days and you didn’t get any reply at all, you might ask there with your ticket number: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/GW2-Tickets-for-Review-3-days-older-1

I thought you might still not understand me so I thought to post a list explaining that I meant this article: http://www.pcgamer.com/guild-wars-2-planning-a-two-week-update-schedule/

And that this was announced by anet and has been ever since which you can look up here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates

Then I realized that may 2014 was one of the very few exemptions and there was a good reason for it. So I figured that it is hopefully the same reason like last year. If that’s not the case and the byweekly updates/fixes are now since yesterday just silently gone then I really whish that any anet staff would have at least written one line somewhere like “this week no update” or “we gave up the byweekly update system”….

Bubi.7942:

Except of course, when it was sometimes 4 weeks without any prior announcements or any additional information whithin the update weeks despite asking directly on the forums.

If that’s all your worried about, think of it like this:

GW2 has biweekly updates, regularly, sometimes.

It never happened that there was no announcement or information. Sometimes it was because breaks, or because oft special events, or for feature patches. There has been given a reason every time for more then 2 years, at least on any information channel used by anet. Thats why I ask for it

Edit: @above: the Problem is that every time something about updates is said, there are enough people that go about why it is too less content or why they don’t like it. There are hundrets oft threads about this. I want to discuss (or at least know) about the update timecycle itself and not what is included. Thats why I wrote the things I remember why anet created a fix biweekly updatecycle 2 years ago in the first place and gave us everytime information about it.

Could you all please stop to write here about the update amount or value? There are really enough threads already where you can discuss that.
Some weeks after gw2 release anet introduced a byweekly updatecycle for alot of good reasons (not major cotent! Just updates like fixes, gemstore, skill changes,…). Some reasons have been:
- update size. People which use gw2 during travelling or with limited monthly data could plan that updates that are more then a high priority emergency fix will only be introduced every 2 weeks on tuesday.
- Events will usually be in gw2 during this 2 week cycle or 4 weeks, if not otherwise stated.
- Gemshop Items or BL Skins will only be introduced or change on these update dates
- you can take these dates to try to get bugged events/merchants after update
- you were safe not to miss any ingame event or thing if it wasn’t introduced on these tuesdays
- these dates were fixed for updates. If update was delayed or there was no update at all then anet wrote it on twitter/facebook, on their website, during PoI, or at least a dev or gaile wrote it on this forum!

These last point is why I’m concerned right now. Why has there been no information at all about this tuesday? And does that mean that these sure byweekly updatecycle is no more and so that we silently actually went back to the same problems that existed over 2 years ago after gw2 release?
Or has there been any information and I just didn’t find it?

Usually every two weeks on tuesday comes an update with some fixes or at least some new gemstore stuff. The last time this didn’t happen was in august 2014 (because dragonsreach part 2 was so much we got 3 weeks to play it) and before that it was something january 2014? (because of winter break)

Actually these update cycle date ist today, but usually the update has been long introduced at this time. We got like usually new (well, old new…) gemstore skins, so will there be no update today at all? Does anyone have any information if or why there is no update today? (and no “HoT” is no reason for this and has nothing todo with it!)

Am I really the only one who is curious about this?

Anet should remove the random ascended equipment drops from all over the world and from fractals. Anet should remove the possibility to buy trinkets and rings with lorels/guildpoints and instead introduce jeweling crafting 500!

Best would be if anet would highly increase the amount of ascended materials needed for ascended stuff (not damask, but everything else so the other materials get at least the same value as damask).

That would actually be the best case scenario! For two simple reasons:
1. Everyone would have to get 2/3 (or in best case all) crafting disciplines to 500, which would increase the all over value of materials.
2. Everyone who decides not to need more ascended stuff (for example closely every gw2 player that actively daily played since release) could craft these ascended things and could with them at least earn a little bit of money through crafting.

Crafting is one core element of gw2 like dungeons, pvp, wvw, LS, but it is just way to worthless/undervalued right now.
If you don’t want to craft, you still can just “buy” 2 disciplines to 500 and then buy everything you need for ascended armor/weapon from tp in under 60 minutes!!!
If your real problem is that ascended armor/weapons “cost too much”, then just buy gems with real money and convert it to gold (which would help to keep the gold → gem price down for veterans) or just don’t get any ascended stuff.

Big thanks Lunacy Solacio^^ I searched for some dev post on this matter and couldn’t find anything helpfull, so your link really helps
I really don’t agree with parts of what gaile wrote but we can understand this way of handeling such matter. We contacted CS, maybe they let us at least change/choose our name/tag ourself.

With that knowledge from the post above it seems that it wasn’t just some bad automatic mechanic (so no bug^^) and it looks more that a real human looked at this and tried to give us a most helpful way on this matter. (if they would have just deleted it after 2.5 years, that would have sucked way more )

kaat.8237:

If an American guild had a tag that was similar to an offensive word in another language, that tag would also be changed.

The thing is, we really would understand it if we would have newly created the guild or if we would be only something like 5 people or so and noone had ever seen our tag.
But the guild was created 2.5 years ago (I think something january 2013) and since then we have ever been 150-400 active playing people.
So after such an extremly long time (and we were really all over the place with public guildmissions and stuff writing all over thousands of mapchats/forums/ts) our guild tag happens to be a problem?
(I mean I and others even wrote here on the forums and on fansites where our guild tag was in the signature (or texts) and anet staff wrote directly under it or directly to us and never anyone of them mentioned a problem…)

We still would even understand it if anet just would say that now one person complained (for whatever reason) and that we have to change the name, but now we have a name and got from anet just some random tag (and this part sucks the most because we have some million influence and built up everything so we can’t just create a new guild with a new name+tag and build up everything again).

Dear Anet support,

we, the members of the riverside guild Flussufer United Corps [FUC] play in this guild since 2.5 years. We are a pure german guild only playing on riverside and we are active in the german community like wartower.de or gw2community.de.

Since last november we even looked here on the forums for new members. https://forum-de.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/lookingfor/Flussufer-FlussuferUnitedCorps-FUC-rekrutiert/first#post436958

So now we logged in on 9. mai 2015 after 2.5 years playing like every day and for no reason our guild tag changed to [UFC].

We hope there is just some wrong automatic parameter that created this bug and hope that you will change our tag name back to what it belongs.

After speaking with some people we figured that because of the (…megaserver system…) our tag might have been changed because it could for some american people sound like an familiar american word. If this is the reason we really hope that you change it back, because it makes no sense for us as germans and as far as we now it isn’t even similar in the american grammar…

Sadly that’s wanted by anet. Their ingame lfg tool is just very bad! First problem are Botter/Gold Seller/Kids/Scammer that missuse it (example “wts eternety 20g”…).
So if these get removed after 5 min. and can only put their stuff in for 3 times, the possibility to scam or hurt more people is limited.

Next thing is that alot of people use it. If you look at it for several minutes, you can see sometimes (during primetime) that there are hundret’s of groups grouping in a second. If Anet wouldn’t autoremove every lfg after a certain time (5 minutes) then you would see hundreds or thousands in there and would have to scroll like an hour to find what you want. It’s even worse because sometimes people forget it, or go offline, or start doing something else.

So Anet really had to create these 3 times 5 min. restriction so the lfg tool is at least a little bit of use.

I personally totally understand this and I like it sometimes (for example if you search for a silverwaste map or for a dungeon, this system is perfect for these^^), but for unusual things this system is useless and worst possible. For example if you try some higher (40s) fractal level, or open world content, or story missions, or (right now) high ranking drytop map, or you look for people to complete some hard achievements. That’s all stuff right know where the lfg tool is close to no use…

And of course the whole 3 times 5 min. is sometimes an even bigger problem because everyone can join your group and leave (so your lfg will be removed too…). Against this anet really could do something, for example that the lfg starter can accept people (like group invites) that want to join him and not that every —-——- can join by his own without even reading the description most of the times.

The idea with tonic’s and toy’s is great and I would love that. I think they might add it with HoT.

The items you said Mokzie will surely never happen. Since Anet made these available for the first time their main idea is that you use these on ONE char and if you want them on more char, then you will have to switch them or buy more.

Anet should timegate WAY more items! Timegate means that player which play constantly have a way to make gold. If new players or returning ones or 1h/week player don’t like it, then they can buy everything from tp or with real money!

Actually everything with wich you can earn at least a little bit of money each day are the timegated things. -> Everything for asc or the stuff for mawdrey.
I hope that anet adds alot of items with the new expansion that work like mawdrey. Meaning ~1 month timegated to build, very expensive but easy to farm over time.

And with laurels… well we get way too much. Anet should decrease them to ~20 each month. If you don’t want to login each day or wait some month for the stuff, then buy it at TP or don’t play!

If you would just have googled 1 min. or read at least one thread in the bugs section…

Common bug, put them in your inventory and relog/change map. After that they are stackable and problem is gone forever for you

PS: Works with everything beside lvl20 birthday experience scrolls, but they are a known bug too.

Guess what: New patch, no fix.

4 month to go until 3rd birthday, still interested if we will have 3 different lvl20 scrolls then

It happens since more then a year. Issue is that still some players unlock these skins in pvp. If you unlock skins in pvp this collection issue MAY happen!

From time to time there are reports that after an patch anet fixed it for some or alot of players. So actually anet is working on this in the background, but noone really knows how or at which point they fix it.

Since gw2 release Anet had and still has one ongoing way about BL chest weapons and the economic. And it is a great one!

They put skins in BL chests, everyone can and will buy/get them if possible. To have a stable value for these items they change them every 2-6 weeks (I don’t recall if it ever took longer then 6 weeks). For this cause they let them be available for 2 or later 5 tickets. After a while they remove them to put new ones in or to make older ones available.

This works like this since over a year now and it is a good system. Skins from before that time like the fused ones are crazy expensive and I’m sure that these will be cheaper available (maybe 2 tickets) at some point.

This system is great:
- If you play constantly, just get the skins as soon as they are available for the first time.
- If you have some money, buy more of these skins, wait ~5-6 month and sell them again and you made alot money with no effort.
- If you have no money and want to get one skin, then you have to farm. If it takes you 2-3 month or more to farm you luckily can buy them from the tp with a low increase in price. (which is totally fair)
- If you haven’t played at the time the BL skins where introduced, but you really want a skin → Buy it from tp, luckily for you traders at release time bought it just for you!
- If you want a skin really bad and don’t want to buy it for gold, then just farm BL chests. If you have 5 claim tickets I can assure you that your beloved skin will be available again for at least this price (or even less). (But who knows if you have to wait weeks or years for that!)

Only cons with this system are:
- Very rich player or new ones that think that 500g+ for one BL skin is a solid investment in the future (month or years). Well they will getkitten#8212;-d at some point, currently that happened with chaos and tormented weapons. I really like this part, because I traded with them too and made alot of money, but it was clear (if you listened to anet and looked at gw2 past) that more then 200g for these items won’t hold for long.
- If you want to get the achievements, it is still way to expensive to get the older ones and probably not possible for even one player to get all. One set costs at least 900g after it’s release, most cost even then more. The old ones are currently 15000g or more? (→ of course they will be available cheaper again! Even legendary are cheaper)

It’s an old bug, there are several “merged” threads here about it. Some get with new updates fixed, but anet works still on some.

Most important thing to prevent this from happening again:
Don’t unlock skins in pvp or even wvw mode! All recorded bugs happend by unlocking in pvp area (or sometimes wvw), they never happend in pve.

It is fair and probably the best decision to deactivate HoM until they fixed the real issue. I have 50/50 and I’m happy to wait with the rewards until this issue is really fixed and everyone loses access who doesn’t deserve it.
After 2 years HoM access you really can wait some weeks without the pet / HoM skins,
