Guild Wars 2

I use guides from here when levelling crafting:

http://www.guildwars2hub.com/guides/basics/guild-wars-2-weaponsmith-leveling-guide-0-400

I’m not sure about the weaponsmith one, but whenever I do chef/jewelling/artificer400 I never spend above 10-20g in total. These guides are awesome.

I have the Acolyte of Dwayna title, and the way I unlocked the Feathers of Dwayna was to craft the legendary Dreamer. I sold it on the TP after I crafted it and I am now happily running around with my Acolyte of Dwayna title.

I did this pre-patch, but I don’t think it matters because when you craft the Dreamer it automatically unlocks the skin in your wardrobe, which is what you need for the title.

The daily timegates is what makes this game such a casual game. And what made a lot of the more hardcore players quit. Dailies also feel more like a chore sometimes, because if you miss something one day you’re not allowed to catch up the next one.

I sometimes can’t even do a dungeon with my friends when I log in too late, because everyone has already done it and there’s no point in doing it more than once per day. It sucks.

I just got the fused sickle and compared it to the consortium one. It feels like it’s exactly the same speed (it’s the exact same animation too). But they’re both faster than a regular Orichalcum sickle (obviously).

StinVec.3621:

Speed is very fast on the sickle; 1/2 – 3/4 of a second from start of harvesting until the crop is placed into your inventory. Much faster than any other sickle I’ve seen. You get the goods halfway through the swipe animation, so no need to wait for the entire thing as you can run away mid-animation and have the goods.

Logging axe seems to take longer than normal, but it’s just a delay at the start while you “whip out your axe” before the first chop. Though I think the time between chop 2 and 3 is slightly faster, so it works out to the same as other axes in total harvesting time.
So instead of delays being like:
- 1 – - 2 – - – 3
It seems more like:
- – 1 – - 2 – - 3

Cool, thx for the info. I’ll get it now.

I’d like to know about the speed too. If it’s as fast as the consortium one I will get it. But if it’s slower I’ll just wait for a re-release of the consortium one.

I can’t upvote this enough. I have about ~15k AP. And 18k AP seems much more manageable than 36k AP.

I’ve been playing every day for the past 2 years and did every living story achievement and am an avid achievement hunter. I also rarely missed a daily and never missed a monthly (granted I only did the minimum requirement of 5 achievements every day).

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Hmm..mine carries across character change. I can’t remember about logging in, though. Haven’t really paid attention to that part.

It sometimes stays with character change for me too. But after a while, especially when closing the client and restarting it, the mini slot will just disappear.

I’m not entirely sure what triggers the removal yet. But I’m 100% sure it’s happening.

What’s up with the mini slot resetting after login or character change? It’s annoying having to set it every time I login. I thought the feature patch would solve the problem of having to take it out every time?

I was about to make the same thread. This is stupid. I thought it was finally fixed and they went and changed it back. Can we at least choose what we want it as?

And what’s next? Automatic 1c undercut?

Yeah, this is quite annoying. Needs to be fixed.

When I try to sell a stack of something to buy orders, and the buy orders aren’t full stacks. I have to keep pressing the “sell to buy order” button, eventually I’ll get the error message saying that I’m selling too quickly and I get suppressed. It’s quite annoying.

Or is there another way to sell stacks of items quickly to buy orders and I’m doing it all wrong?

Rising Dusk.2408:

The most important missing feature that needs to be added back is “Match My Lowest Listing”. Losing that is a huge loss of functionality. The key piece of information we’re losing here is the ability to be able to list things where we already had them (convenience) and the ability to not undercut ourselves (since we don’t readily know now). Pretty much everything else about the new TP I love.

Oh, and it’s really annoying typing “I am Evon Gnashblade” to enable/disable that mode. It needs to be more convenient, maybe as a filtering option?

A thousand times this! I’ve undercut myself by accident because I didn’t see any message that showed me that I already had an item up and just assumed that I didn’t have one listed.

mtpelion.4562:

Can’t you now click on the achievement to see the list of minis included in the achieve? I could have sworn I did that last night.

Doesn’t work for me. When I click on it all I see is the info you see when you hold your mouse over the achievement box (like: Tier 3/4. Objectives: 49/50. Collect 50 miniatures. Master of miniature mayhem. +10 AP points, Title: Miniature Collector).

The game client doesn’t remember my password anymore on login. So I have to manually type in my password every time. I didn’t have to do this before.

I have added all mini’s except for the exotic ones and I’m on 49/54. Seeing as there’s 5 exotics and Risen Priest doesn’t count, it does seem to work correctly for me.

Having said that, it’s quite a pain to see which ones you are missing at the moment.

duckideva.6358:

How could you have unlocked an elite, if you can’t buy them until level 40?

You can purchase everything at level 13.

That is not true in all cases.

When I mouse over those skills, even with enough skill points to buy one, it has a lock over the icon, and a mouseover message that says elite skills cannot be purchased until lvl 40.

Ergo, the bug may not be a system wide, reproducible issue, but is in fact a bug related to certain builds or races or something.

It works if you pick up any random item that you find in the open world. I just tested it. Also, I can’t remove the elite skill in any way. It seems locked.

I agree. It’s really disorganized. Hard to find out which ones you are missing.

After the feature patch went live I’ve been having random black screens requiring me to restart the game in order to continue playing. It’s kind of annoying. Anyone else has this problem too?

Behellagh.1468:

Players lost sight of playing for fun. It’s all about earning enough gold to cheat out the cash shop by any means necessary.

This is what I do. As all cool skins get added to the gemstore…. back in my day new skins were locked behind new and difficult content.

i think the bridge of doom is a pretty cool structure, eh kills random pugs and doesnt afraid of anything

Because GS damage is so bad, you can use GS #5 to push the golems onto the Husk in CoE p2 without killing them before they explode.

Or in fractals on Molten Furnace boss to push away the adds that make the middle thing invulnerable. (of course focus pull is like 10x better at it)

Basically GS #5 is a good push skill, but that’s all it’s useful for. Waste of weapon slot usually.

“New achievements will also now be available for completing Wardrobe account unlocks for the series 1, 2, and 3 minis.”

When you already have all the AP for those mini sets, will you unlock them retroactively? Because I’m sure not I’m alone when I say that I have sold all my mini’s after I unlocked the achievements related to them.

I can’t remember exactly what caused it, but 2 years ago black lion chests rose up to like 1s each in price because of speculators. When they realized that you still needed keys to open them, and that the chests themselves are useless, the price started dropping to their original 3c.

My guess is on speculators. But black lion keys will always be useless without keys. People are too easily influenced by hype.

People will never stop farming for foxfire as long as there is a demand for foxfire. And the backpiece/living story is permanent content. So we’re probably looking at a Thick Leather v2, useless forever.

Want this since even before the game came out and I saw it in screenshots. Can’t believe it’s still not in the game yet. Also, I’d love it as an outfit. I kinda like the outfits in this game cause you can swap them for free.

You’re asking us if it were faster to win the lottery, or work enough hours so that you’ll have the same money as 1st prize. We don’t know. You could be lucky and get it the first time you throw stuff in the forge, or you could end up NEVER getting one in your entire gw2 career.

My advice would be to save gold and work towards it (e.g. buy it from the TP). There’s nothing more disappointing than losing all the gold you’ve spent so much time gathering. Trust me, I’ve been there.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo….. I don’t want to redo 13 characters, it’s so annoying to give them all the traits again.

Svetli.4276:

everyone who flip on tp must be ban !
you ppl rise the prises on everything !

how to get gold legally 1:1
1 play the game
2 save gold
3 buy what you want !

sitting in la buying cheap and selling expensive IS NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO GET GOLD !

We are actually creating more demand for items. When people get the item as a drop, they can actually sell it for more. If you take out all the flippers, prices will be super cheap and gold will be less valuable too.

I know how you feel. A lot of my friends from gw1 left a few months into the game. When I kept my head high and told them: “Don’t worry, they will fix things. It will get better.”

Starting to think that they might have been right all along. But I just can’t give it up. At least the game is directed towards casuals and as such I’m playing it as that. A casual game. It’s pretty insulting that they try to force this game into esports, because you can’t make a casual game into a competitive one. In order for this game to become esports they would have to overhaul the entire combat system. Essentially, making a different game.

Hard to remember, but it was somewhere between 5-15 hours on warrior against a wall. After that it’s not hard to get consistent at it. I heard against a wall is also harder, but I find it easier somehow.

It’s now the single most expensive item on TP (listed for 6k gold). This is probably the first time in gw2 where anet re-released an item and it only got more expensive lol. #fail

Dear anet,

Increase the droprate or make it a permanent drop. Thanks.

Sincerely, the entire gw2 community.

Behellagh.1468:

They could also be dropping a bit more frequently and most people are just keeping them rather than selling them.

The constant 1@4750g is dragging up the high bid in hopes that somebody showing up to sell will bite rather than post for sale.

One did sell 20+ hours ago at 2950g.

That’s also probably the one flipped and listed at 4750g now.

Charming Rogue.8071:

The droprate is way too low for this thing Kind of a big joke because it only drops for 2 weeks. I can only see the price going up.

its because arenanet dont want you to get it – they just want you to buy keys – its a carrot

Sad but true…. if they wanted people to actually enjoy the item they would just put it in the gemstore and not behind some RNG pachinko lottery machine

ProtoGunner.4953:

I just wonder why a really unimportant item like this hair style kit (WTF are we all 16 year old lipstick chicks) is one of the most expensive items in the game. I changed my hairs once or twice and cost me 250 gems each. Really guys, GET A GRIP!

I think a lot of people just want the hair stylist cause they can sell it for 3k+ gold.

FARM KEYS 4 LIFE

Soon.

Korossive.7085:

Also, this isn’t an item that’ll ever be depleted. It’s RNG. More will come.

More won’t come, because it doesn’t drop anymore.

Korossive.7085:

3710g is nothing.

Some players have accumulated over 200,000 gold. 3,710 for them is a toothpick.

You don’t understand the problem. Yes, if I could fork over 4k gold for this item I would. The problem is that there are none of these items remaining to be sold. No one has an un-accountbounded item of this to sell. They have all been used and bounded to accounts.

siralius.9517:

ITheNormalPerson.9275:

if you need a different answer, it’s “nothing”

as they have said, in anets eyes it is working as intended.

Working as intended? Only a fool would not see the impending economic disaster this will soon be (should it continue on this trajectory).

The only “economic disaster” this is going to bring is to the player’s actual wallet. Because gold > gems will become so expensive that players will use their real money to buy the new shiny things in the gemstore.

I have it very rarely… it’s annoying, but because it doesn’t happen every time and only rarely I don’t have a big problem with it…

I want this item so bad. But all the current ones are accountbound. There isn’t any left to be sold.

Please anet, re-release this item

Pibriamal.8719:

Charming Rogue.8071:

I like the holes

I like them too, but I would still like an option to cover them up when I don’t want my character to have her hips out in the open. There’s a time for sexy, and then there are times for not so sexy.

That’s why you have different armor sets and outfits. The good thing about outfits is that you can just put them on for free wherever you are.

Kalavier.1097:

Game mechanics and balance answer much of the “Why can’t my mesmer do that!?!?!” complaints.

but….. :’(

Kasmeer has completed the Citadel of Trials. Thus she has earned the Rat’s Tail. By presenting this to Bahamut, Kasmeer has earned the class change. And has thus become a better and more upgraded version of the Mesmer class.

I like the idea. But I just wish it wasn’t so determined by luck from getting into a good map. Especially now with the megaserver.

Spamming “join in” for hours isn’t really my idea of having a good time.

schmots.6803:

you can’t get the parts anymore. Unless you already had them. The part you needed came from the marionettes.

You can if you have the watchwork sprockets node in your home. It sometimes drops spinal blades. And you can get the watchwork sprockets node from the Laurel vendor now.
