Guild Wars 2

This isn’t for current players, only new players. They only care about new money not old money.

I crafted for the skin. I got 100% win out of it.

Got a sword I sold for 88g, best drop for me so far in 3,100+ hours.

If you have the impression you can “buy it any time” you may never buy it. But if it only comes up twice a year you may be more likely to purchase it, even if not discounted, because you don’t want to spend another 6 months without it.

Can we throw in a portal that goes directly to the next scheduled event from the last scheduled event? It’s such a bother either finding it on my own on the map or clicking the link that is usually in chat.

Pretty a-maze-ing.

Thanks for the explanation. This is happening to me too.

{sarcasm}
But we have had extensive content updates to the gem shop. I don’t see the problem here.
{/sarcasm}
I’ve only played about 4 weeks in the last 6 months, hoping for something to do other than try to make g and karma.

We have a 60+ year old in our guild who plays hours daily.

That was the beginning of the end…

In fact you can jump from 2 different places to get on the hilt. One is from the blade and the other is from the gears behind. I had only ever known about the blade method until last time I was there and saw it done from the gears and successfully did it as well.

“I Tend To Die A Lot”

“The first collection is all about the hunt, so you’ll be proving your abilities by fighting fierce creatures around Tyria and acquiring a trophy to show for it.”

So like instead of global RNG for the pre, it’s like the Treasure Hunter RNG for the pre of the pre?

I for one noticed several improvements that were made based off the feedback of the previous episode. Keep up the good work!

Underwhelming sums it up for me.

Recently the rarity of foxfire has increased greatly. I’m lucky to get 1/100 where as before I would get more like 10/100.

I’ve seen the duelist, strider, krytan and t3 human chestpieces which are indeed non-trench coat female medium armors (I don’t count cultural sylvari as it has a tail).

I haven’t seen the glorious armour chestpiece yet, you guys should look into that one as well. You’ll have to PvP a bit but it won’t take that long.

Edit: The viper one is sort of not a trench coat as well, but I mainly use that one for the skirt.

I was just going to post about that Glorious chest piece. It can be earn as quick as four days with a couple of hours a day of pvp. I just got mine a couple days ago.

I’ll +1 this thought.

Who knows, there’s no date yet either. Gut feeling, it’s in the summer.

Your guts are misleading you on the wrong path. Mike O’Brien said we could play as fast as 6 weeks from now.

There will be a hands on version at PAX East. Not the same as for sale…

But I’ll guess I’ll take this one as my fault that I forgot to use this work around that is not provided by Anet:

Tricare.2946:

Anet won’t help you.

Try following this.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2saub4/how_to_fix_your_updater_temp/

Also Anet please fix it so I don’t have to open task manager to close this screen…

3 nights in a row I don’t get to play immediately after a patch. But I’ve really begun to appreciate that nice white splash screen.

Solution for me from another thread:

Tricare.2946:

Anet won’t help you.

Try following this.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2saub4/how_to_fix_your_updater_temp/

Yep found this and the solution worked for me. Thank you not Anet…

Carbon Footprint.3421:

Also Anet fix your program so that is doesn’t force me to use task manager to get it to close when it hits this state…

And this again tonight…

Got it. I think it was an issue for me as I don’t typically play with sound on and the cues from the scooby squad went unheard and so I didn’t know there was a new mechanic in the 2nd round. Thanks all.

You guys are not understanding. In the phase where you have to wait to get the torch and then stand and like the wall, by the time you go to light the 3rd one the first one has gone out.

Same, worked fine until I died and then it became impossible to complete solo.

It really ruins the mood when you are shoulder to shoulder with some the greatest heroes if Tyria and they can’t kill a single mob on their own. It just really kills the mood that they can do nothing on their own. At least make it so that the heroes can kill things but more spawn and only my kills move the story forward, but standing back and watching a q-tip fight is just underwhelming.

Chicago area Comcast…

You guys really need to sort this out. Move your kitten patch server or what ever but just about every kitten patch does this and it not on the user to have to be responsible for this.

Wow.

“Please, please, please give us a status update, even if it’s only, “We’re still actively thinking about this issue and will give details when we can.”

Such a post is made. Reactions?.

“That’s not good enough.”

I still think the Mike O’Brien Gag Policy is a mistake. But, it’s moments like this that makes me think twice.

I think a big part of the negativity is based on this thread being 8 months old. Makes it seem like it took them 8 months to get around just talking about it.

I had quit playing for a few months and came back to find you could create Mawdry. I instantly fell in love with the game again. An achievable item that can be earned through a reasonable amount of work, if you choose. It was awesome for a couple weeks farming foxfire and doing all the world spread things to get get all the items.

And then I had everything. I just needed to wait 7 more days to craft all the food. And I got bored again. Tonight I make Mawdry and have little motivation to play again.

One reason I quit before was that everything was either impossible RNG or it was gold. No real ability to EARN anything new. I want to earn new stuff. I want to be motivated to play for more than increasing my gold. The new armor is a step in the right direction but it’s all ugly. But we need more things like that, things that you can earn in a reasonable amount of time.

I’ve been offended that Queen Jenna could waste money on a month long party but nothing can be spared to help fund the rebuilding of LA.

I miss Ambient Killer. That was my single most favorite daily.

Playing this for the first time and I dislike having to play thief. Thief and Mesmer were the 2 classes I hated leveling the most.

Well at least the holiday Steam sale as started, can play other new games until patched…

Comcast Chicago area, 0KB/sec…

I know we are supposed to be thankful for patches…but…

Chicago area Comcast now getting “Connection error(s) detected. Retrying…”

Hopefully fixed by morning.

A quote from the Forbes website on customer retention:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexlawrence/2012/11/01/five-customer-retention-tips-for-entrepreneurs/

“Never Underestimate the Value of Retention

For those who feel that customer retention plays a relatively minor role in helping a company grow a healthy bottom line, here are a few statistics you might be interested in. According to Bain and Co., a 5% increase in customer retention can increase a company’s profitability by 75%. And if those numbers don’t impress you, Gartner Group statistics tell us that 80% of your company’s future revenue will come from just 20% of your existing customers. Still not sold on customer retention? One final statistic provided by Lee Resource Inc. should give you plenty to think about: Attracting new customers will cost your company 5 times more than keeping an existing customer."

Just sayin’

I used to feel bad that I play SWTOR after almost 4000 hours of GW2…not anymore…

In all fairness Anet is trying to encourage you to “play” the game by making it only attainable via crafting.

Had no lag until this morning, and Dry Top was absolutely unplayable. /bugged it…

You have to get all 3 classes to unlock the skins. Heavy only unlocks for heavy.

It is quite a bit like a JP with the timed skills and lots of places to fall and mobs that attack and keep you in combat. Finding it more frustrating than fun.

It’s a shame that he whole zone is like one big jumping puzzle.

Here’s 3 of my favorites:

Hell I’m getting my last craft to 500 by just using drops. It’s a lot more “expensive” and slow, but it’s really lazy, and I like it. heh

What do you expect people to do if you only want a handful of players on each boss? If you want them to be active then you end up upscaling the boss making it harder to get gold. Players who are not part of the kill squad that want credit have no better option than to tag the boss and then run away to prevent upscaling.
