Guild Wars 2

GeoX.5046:

So all of you who thinks there is this rich guy buying a bunch of precursors and re selling them…your wrong…way too risky. If you think the market is being manipulated…your right…but its not precursors *cough* its mats *cough*

Why am i probably right: I work the market (500k pages of buying history) and i observe trends. Its fairly easy to predict weather an item will go up and down…but in the case of precursors, there really is no predicting, that’s why i stay away from them. If you want my advice, stay away from them so they would go down. The market goes up and down, like any other market.

TLDR, stop raging, market is fine, lemmings are buying precursors cuz they are worried of price increases, K thx bye.

I know people who can afford to spend gold on precursors like you can afford spending 2 silver for a repair. Yes, some of them are spending real money to get gold and yes – that makes your topic completely invalid. K thx bye.

People asking for gold sinks instead of better ways of acquiring precursors? Yes, this game is dying.

Welcome to RNG Wars 2, OP.

The silver from bosses is guaranteed.

All more evidence that playing the tp is a valid form of gameplay.

Which kittens up the rest of the players.

I understand the PvP leaderboards, but a leaderboard for achievement points is completely unnecessary.

“Disillude yourself. The only one reading this forum are mod looking if your post must be deleted and your account infracted and banned. No dev read a crap here. Nor are aware of what the community wants or ask, as already proved from day 1 when this forum was online. Rare pearls happens, like Hrouda stuff not giving anything valuable to be read, except how he admire warriors soloing a boss”

Yes, completely ignore the numerous times John Smith posts here, or Hrouda posts on the ranger/dungeon forums, or Foreman on his jumping puzzles.

But yeah I’m sure you prefer it having devs waste time on the forums rather than work, right?

1 minute to give an update is so much wasted time, really.

If they do a “surprise, legendary hunt” players that spent 1k gold on it will hang themselves and the other ones that want to wait it out can wait for months or even years when A-Net decide that want to “suprise” them.

1000g precursors soon. Seems A-Net doesn’t care anymore.

Agree. We need an update on this.

Eh, I’m with Vol. Not everybody is meant to have a legendary. You don’t need one, it’s nice to have.

I am sick and tired of people saying this. Everybody who wants a legendary can have one. There is no skill requirement involved, just money.

In fact the most efficient way to get a legendary is to never leave Lions Arch, to play the TP and to buy all of the components.

The devs who designed the “Legendary” aquisition process should be hanging their heads in shame because there is nothing legendary about it.

Thread should’ve ended with this post. Everyone that thinks otherwise either got lucky with a precursor or he bought it for a reasonable price on the TP when prices were somewhat normal. Everything involving RNG is terrible design by default so deal with it.

You can loot the chest multiple times on 1 character by joining an overflow server and there will be plenty since everyone is farming the world bosses now.

RNG is a problem. Everyone who says otherwise already has their legendary. You are not helping the game by trying to justify your wasted time and gold.

Thanks for the replies. Cheers.

I didn’t have a chance to play much this month and now I have some free time and wanted to do the monthly. I don’t understand the “puzzles discovered” part. I have completed all jumping puzzles in the game but have no progress on the monthly achievement. Any ideas?

This is the biggest blunder I’ve seen in this game for a while. The least thing you can do is just remove the achievement. It’s so flawed it’s not even funny. You tried to make a tower defense mini-game but you failed miserably. We play with random people who most of the time just stand there AFK or leave instead. We can join games that are still in progress with 1 dolyak alive at wave 1. No time for preparation after each wave which basically kills the whole concept of tower defense. I’m writing this after 60 or more failed attempts which I think is a solid number for something “you’re supposed to be doing for fun” in the winter event.

If you are struggling as a glasscannon in dungeons you are basically doing something wrong. You are just sacrificing damage to make up for your play.

OP clearly has no clue what he is talking about. I suggest that this thread gets locked.

I’m in the same boat as you. Have been playing since launch and I have barely x100 of each t6 mat. This has become an issue worse than precursors and lodestones. Obviously, A-Net doesn’t care about how items are obtained in their game and not to mention TP prices. Making one-time monthly events is more important than the state of their game apperantly.

Don’t get me wrong I loved the make-over feature in the first game and used it alot and see myself using this one aswell, I just feel as if there were more important issues out there than changing my headband from green to blue.

You DO realize that there are multiple teams working on multiple issues in A-Net right? You DO realize that they have openly stated that there is an ENTIRE team dedicated to that issue alone right? You DO realize that it may not be a quick and easy fix right? You DO realize that there are people who specialize in new implementations and people who specialize in fixing old implementations and they can’t always do eachother’s jobs right? You DO realize that trying to make them do so would be like trying to get a CAD Artist to do an Auto Mechanic’s job right? You DO realize that you sound like a child right?

Nope, was just confused, I’m not in the industry so I wouldn’t know how it all works,. I’m just sharing my concerns and experiences, that’s what I thought the forums are for. If anyone sounds upset, it’s you, have a good day.

“Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.”

Sorry if I came across as too rude there, it annoys me to no end that people, who have no idea what they’re talking about, complain about things they don’t understand. I posted that in such a way as to make a lasting impact on the reader and thus alleviate some ignorance.

You DO realize that he is right to some extend? It’s not the customers concern that a company fails to construct their teams responsible for the different aspects of the game. He is not blaming the team that works on the gem store but A-Net as a whole. And yes there is obviously something wrong when gemstore features get priority over issues with the game itself. Stop being a silly drone and look how things are not from the white knight perspective.

^ Except that getting t6 mats is a complete joke at the moment.

Gift of Fortune is just ridiculous considering the current price of t6 mats and the horrible drop rate. Even a hardcore grinder playing 24/7 will need a month to just get one of them capped at 250. While A-Net is busy making new content while abandoning the rest, they forget about their “no grind” philosophy completely. I had high hopes for this game because we were promised “rewarding” stuff and the reality is just a typical korean MMO grindfest. The main difference is that in other MMOs you can at least farm the things you want, here you get punished with DR on loot. A real disappointment.

Best way is to do dungeons imho. Paying for crafted gear isn’t worth it because you can basically get it for free. Go for Power/Prec/Crit dmg gear with that build. You can farm CoF for a few days and if you don’t like the skin you can transmute it to anything you want after. Those stats are also available from CoE (Crucible of Eternity) gear but the dungeon is a bit harder. Also finding groups might be an issue right now since everyone is doing Fractals of the Mists.

Most of the dungeon bosses and trash mobs can be meleed so I strongly disagree with Blacksarevok. The damage from pistols doesn’t compare to d/d. When your target hits 50% and even 25% the difference becomes enormous. I agree that you should carry two pistols for certain situations but don’t always pick the easier ranged option because your dps will be a lot lower for no real reason.

Crit dmg is the only way to go as thief in dungeons atm.

So after 3 months I decided to go through the terrible experience called “personal story” again, this time on an alt. I hoped that after 3 months you should’ve been able to clear most of the reported bugs which is more than enough time in my opinion. So here I go, trying to save little priory asura investigators from the attacking risen. I somehow died to the two veteran kraits, clicked “return to checkpoint” and I found myself dead at the checkpoint unable to do anything. I decided to try and ress from the waypoint, which is 5 minutes walk from my location by the way and charges me silver, and the game crashed. I’d recommend instead of hurrying with new content to try and fix stuff that have been bugged since beta at least. When I’m going through the “personal story experience” I always keep and eye on absolutely everything for the sole reason of not triggering a gamebreaking bug which makes me redo the whole thing over. That’s not how a “story telling” part of the game should work.

I hate the same problem last week OP.
Try restacking them in your inventory. They should appear after you’ve done it a couple of times.

We seriously need a proper explanation on the so called “progression” as A-Net advertised this new dungeon. How can someone progress when he is dependent on luck? When are you going to realize that people want to achieve something in this game by not crossing their fingers every time they loot? RNG is alright for skins but not for gear that is mendatory – it becomes cancer.

As title says. Don’t feel this is the right place to ask but since there is not lfg tool implemented yet and we can’t find anyone on our server it seems to be the only way.

You just separated your playerbase in two. The ones that got a free precursor which gave them the most expensive and hard to get part of their legendary (or free 100+ gold on the TP) and the ones who got regular loot. Not to mention how people joined multiple overflows on different characters to loot the chest multiple times. Also trial accounts with free precursors. How is that supposed to be fair? What did you aim for with these drops? Your players demand a reasonable explanation.

>Warriors complaining that they didn’t get buffs while being one of the two FOTM professions since launch along with guardian

Do you want a 6th signet babbys?

Completely agree. Dungeon loot should not be affected by MF. People doing dungeons must be encouraged to play with their optimal gear/build for best results and not be punished with less loot for it.

The only long path is 2.

The boss is not bugged. It’s a simple l2p issue. That instant chained attack he does on a “random” party target can be dodged. You just need to time it. /thread

Oh boy. All these replies consisting of “I myself and me personally am not going to grind for a legendary so I think that DR is a good thing because it stops grinding”. Noone needs your opinion. If there is something in the game that can be obtained, regardless of it being required or a personal choice, you should be able to farm it and not get punished for doing so. /thread

A ship from LA.

I resolved the bug by restacking the tonics. Really strange.

They just don’t appear in the “Sell your stuff” tab. They are supposedly not account bound anymore and some people are actually selling them. What may be causing this?

Exactly. This gear is meant to be used specifically in the new dungeon and I suppose only the hardest encounters will require that special condition protection. Whiners gonna whine.

exum.3746:

warriors are quite sought after because of straight damage provided. my ideal group consists of 3 warriors 1 mesmer 1 water ele.

Mesmers are below average in dungeons. Eles suck for supporting compared to guardians so water is just silly.

I’ve also wanted to farm some tokens for the orrian gear but that bug is now permanent on my server. This should be on your main “to do” list because it’s preventing access to major content of the game.

So today we did some pretty fast runs on SE, TA, AC, CoF and HotW in a row and we got reduced reward after TA. We didn’t repeat any paths at all. Is this some old feature I didn’t know of or is it another step to punishing players for playing the game like the Karma DR from events in Orr for example?

Xericor.9103:

170,000+ Karma earned so far. Never suffered DR on Karma.
Not saying the DR doesnt exist, not saying its fair some people hit it. My point is the typical gamer is NOT effected by this, so its kinda working

It’s obviously not “working” for everyone else in this thread. And what are you implying with “typical gamer”? I’m not farming for more than an hour each day. Your post is pretty much useless.

The DR started to affect me as well. In around 10 events I start to receive 200+ karma per event which is ridiculous. Please learn your lesson A-Net – you can’t solve something by nerfing something else. As I look at this thread it seem that the issue has been going for a month or even more. This is something that should be your top priority because it affects thousands of people farming for their legendaries and the DR is making it impossible.
