I would just go to Mount Maelstrom and farm the 10+ champions (now legendaries) in the cave.
It only took 8 replies this time!
I’ve haven’t seen someone get so destroyed in quite a while.
nothing changed, bosses still drop nothing good,
Opinion, Shadow Behemoth was fixed to drop Final Rest. They also drop guaranteed rares, and have better loot tables than before.
instance/dungeon bosses still drop nothing good,
Opinion, however with your wording I’ll let it slide as their loot tables haven’t been adjusted.
epic armor still doesnt look good except for like 2 different sets….woohoo for variety, 2 sets wowww thats a lot.
Opinion.
PVP hasnt changed, at all, like at allll, they added a map called spirit watch, nothing special, but thats it.
Opinion, lots of balance patches have come in to change the sPvP meta, WvW has changed slightly, as well. WvW ranks, culling, EB JP a separate map, solo roamers have more of an impact than before, etc, etc.
dungeons/instances still look poorly thought-out and has no creativity.
No matter what people complain. AC was super easy and the best thing to farm on a daily basis. Was changed to be more of a challenge and everyone started whining that it’s not worth anyones time anymore.
welllll thats about it, o and you can keep ur hopes up for the coming updates starting july 9th….maybe stuff will get A LOT, A LOT, A LOT better. who knows, lol maybe ill actually start playing again…..but then again theres a good chance that nothing good will happen.
Yeah, your opinion sounds great, especially that last part.
who knows, lol maybe ill actually start playing again
Oh my, someone who isn’t playing is telling someone else who isn’t playing what is happening ingame! So reliable!
He shoots, he scores!
LOL, you read one incredibly hyperbolic post and you’ve made up your mind.
Seems like your mind was already made up before you made this thread.
Explain exactly why the cakes are OP and I might believe that you aren’t just trying to get the market to move.
A very very small minority of people liked spending hours coming up with builds. It is the entire reason PvX wiki was so incredibly popular.
A lot of people don’t know about this yet, but there is an organization coordinating GvG matches along with Leaderboards to track scores.

Sign your guild up to get involved in the fun!
I really hate seeing this type of thing. The list of things that the community is having to do because Anet isn’t adding it to the game is getting too high! Anet needs to add these to the game, and if they plan to, they should let us know their intentions.
GW2LFG
ghetto GVG
I even saw a suggestion on gw2guru that says to buy a custom pvp server to use as a guildhall.
It’s OK, these guys use the acronym GvG. But what they’re doing is nothing like GvG.
The worst things about patch 25/6 is the community’s shortsighted overreaction to it.
Work on your warrior almost year, and ANet now is telling you just delete it. Most builds are badly nerfed from bottom level. Now you gain same dps with even lower survivability.
Irony.
Well making a weapon rack bleed is kind of….unreal?
But giant talking horned cats are completely believable.
Wow. Seriously? What are you even on?
No JP is hard.
Except Griffonhook
Gives me nightmares to this day.
kitten Griffonrook. I ended up just running to the end to get the achievement. That amount of frustration is not worth 2 masterwork items.
The manifesto is not some holy document like a lot of players seem to think.
Instead they turned it into another failed NCsoft korean grinder.
ncsoft is happily farming chronic gamblers effectively with RNG boxes. your statement is invalid.
And giving kids gambling habits, I bet
It’s amazing how much pakitteno rubbish is in this game now.
Better not let kids buy any pokemon cards.
No one is forced to participate in these events.
followed by; nobody is forcing you to do the daily, followed by nobody is forcing you to get weapon skins, followed by nobody is forcing you to log in to get laurels for ascended items, followed by nobody is forcing you to play this game.
You are whats wrong with the community, brainwashed players whose only responses to everything are “nobody is forcing you” and “this game is just not for you”. Please next time you try to comment something like this read it, read it, go take a cup of coffee, and then delete the post.
You are what’s wrong with the community.
This game isn’t for you.
kitten.
Infractions are meaningless…
Ah, but the Ascended items gained from Laurels are in no way exclusive to Laurels and are obtainable by doing other stuff.
So, how do I obtain Ascended Amulets without doing dailies again?
Do the Monthly.
Yes, because taking 3 months to acquire an item you want on multiple characters is such great game design.
Oh wait…
Don’t get angry because I gave you an alternative that isn’t doing the daily.
lel

i don’t intend to be rude. i’m not even a whiner. this is the only time that i whined bigtime in the forums coz i received 3 useless green account bound minis for financially supporting the game within 10 months.
You come across as a massive kitten.
You dun goofed, son.
Have you ever used a revive orb? The only thing a revive orb saves you is the silver cost of using a waypoint.
ADHD generation strikes again.
You would need a much bigger dataset to confirm that this actual was an actual “nerf”. 380k(assuming you rechugged) karma is what? Next to 83 boxes.
To accurately see if this is actually the case as opposed to RNG: You’d have to do a test like:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1bs9ki/for_boredom_8071700_karma_spent_on_1774_lost/
or
http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/188dll/just_spent_1405436_karma_on_lost_orrian_jewelry/ (still not too big of a sample TBH.)
The 1 lodestone and 7 obby shards you got sounds just a little below what it normally is. Funny thing is before I saw this thread, I just went on my thief and blew all 40k karma on 9~ boxes and got 3 shard and a bunch of junk.
RNG will be RNG sometimes. I’m planning on spending about 3 million karma (with full karma boost modifiers so I’ll be getting even more than just 3 million after rechug) in a week and a half, i’ll let you know if it actually is nerfed (even then I could just be having horrible luck).
Let me give you this link, it will explain some things about statistics.
LOL Do you know how John Smith would have determined there was a bug? He would have looked at every single ecto salvage and noticed a discrepancy. If every single salvage is not a large data set then I don’t know what is.
LOL.
Please don’t derail the thread…this has nothing to do with hardcore vs casual. Did you even read the original post?
Did you even read beyond the first sentence of mine?
Would you read a book on landscaping if you wanted to learn how to fish?
Please don’t derail the thread.
Didn’t…answered your question….
This is my last response to you as this topic is important to me and others.
Quit derailing the thread, bro.
Drop rates hurts only players.
Bots don’t care, botter will profit greatly from the scarcity.
Care to elaborate on the blank statements lol? Is there a Botter community actively discussing this issue as well?
If you ask for an explanation, you don’t deserve any place to discuss here.
You should probably stop right here and not comment again.
Demand has not increased in any significant way recently. Supply however; has dropped substantially. We can debate what caused the supply drop but; from data that I am accumulating myself I can tell you for certain that the salvage rates were altered.
This is nothing new by the way. They do this all the time.
Actually, you can’t.
that does bring up another point (sorry to off-track the topic a tad):
master salvage kits are supposed to have “25% chance of rarer materials”
25% of 25 is 6.25, not 3. sure, small sample size, but I have been noticing this. does anyone have any larger numbers showing rarer materials’ chance to drop?
one possibility: ectos kinda count as a rarer material. like, the internal mechanic might be something like a 77.5% chance to drop an ecto, then a 25% chance to drop either an ecto or ori (if this succeeds, 50% chance to ecto, 50% chance to ori), then if it wasn’t an ori it drops mithril.
25% chance of rarer materials does not apply to globs of ectoplasm, it applies to getting orichalcum instead of mithril or gossamer instead of silk. Ecto has it’s own salvage modifier that is hidden.
Case in point. You can salvage globs of ectoplasm using crude salvage kits which have 0% chance at rarer materials.
So let me get this straight then. They are going to restrict the game play of the majority of the people by restricting drops, nerfing farming areas, plus the DR in order to keep the minority, the bots at bay? This sounds counter-intuitive to how it should be. Unless of course the bots are the majority then it all makes sense.
I’d like to see some proof that the majority of people actually likes to farm. In my book it’s rather the opposite, most people play MMOs with as little farming involved as possible, they only farm if they are forced to do it.
You must be new to MMO’s…if you are not you have no idea what you are talking about
Don’t like being wrong, eh?
oh, but wouldnt it be great if its like that? nowdays, you just gotta be active finding the best way to farm gold bro. why choose the hard way when you can do the easy way? you like being tortured?
because easy is boring. Why would I want to play the game if it would bore me? Also you do realize that the economy would adapt, prices would fall and you would get the same amount of money for doing less than you are doing right now if these kind of spots were never there? I remember T6 blood being 50 silver. Now it’s barely at 20 and was steadily falling. Which means that you need to get 2X the amount of T6 blood to make the same profit. That makes things with fixed prices seem expensive and really screws the economy around.
I thought you played this because you said you couldn’t afford a sub game?
Can afford a sub game, don’t want to pay for a sub since it’s a waste of money considering that I could afford to buy vanity items to support a company.
Also, not being able to afford a sub is not the only reason a person would play a buy to play game like GW2…
That’s true you can’t buy keys to open gambling RNG boxes in a sub game most of the time so I guess if you like to gamble then F2P and buy2play give you that extra “option”.
If you grasp at those straws any more you’re going to crush them to point you can’t drink through them.
This is something I would never have discovered.
I open them right away every single time I get them because it would be terrible to lose them if I got randomly disconnected or if changing maps caused a glitch of some sort.
Good to know I suppose, but I just prefer not to take chances.
If the bonus chests work the same way as the chests for map completion etc. the chest will still be there, unopened, when you reconnect.
Or, since you killed 9 bosses you most likely killed the same boss voer again. Only 1 chest per boss each day… So lets say you killed shatterer twice, you would have only gotten 1 chest of him
It is possible to get 20 bonus chests per day.
Wonder how many expansions will it take them to have end game.
Zero.
Another thread claiming a majority view point from a personal view point.
Actually the statement that a greater amount of people spend a greater amount of their time doing WvW, pvp, and dungeons over the temporary content I would take as a true statement. I have no metrics available to back this up, but from statements I read on the forums and from participation I see in game this would seem to be true.
“We don’t want events that happen once, or even once a year that aren’t even that memorable. "
Another thread claiming a majority view point from a personal view point.
Blacklist, Ignore, Do it regardless. you cant?
what you are saying does not apply. if you are keen on doing it, how can you fail? unless you are alone. and if you are alone, you cannot uncontest the temple anyway.
so, meaning that YOU are asking for help, BUT people ignore you because they want to do something else.
I do do that and I have been uncontested temples at offpeak hours with 3 people. Lyssa is kitten easy. But if stopping an event produces such mentality of course I don’t want it being used like that.
And no I don’t ask for help. I just get whispers telling me that they will never help me ever and would like me to be banned and put out of the game.all because you alone want it done, everyone else have to bow down?
please tell me now, what are the events for?
there are so many temples around orr and most of them are contested 90% of the time. so what in particular is so interesting with lyssa?
Lyssa, Dwayna, Grenth and Melandru normally gets done a lot. Baltazar fails a lot. Every single temple provides gear of different stats.
also my point isnt just that, but most of the orr events that got nerfed constantly when discovered by players since 8 months ago.
what you are saying is, its better to have an empty map where people dont go there at all because its trash and pointless?
i still remember when every single orr map was almost empty with only 1 or 2 people replying in chat. is that what you want?
I seem to not share your memories. Are you playing on off peak hours? On a low pop server?
why do you need it on more then 1 server if you just want karma gears? why are you purposely doing it so that wherever people go you just want to break the cycle?
it looks more like you dont want people doing the event to gain materials because you want to make life difficult for everyone else.
I’m in a big guild and I get people sharing their sadness about getting bullied. You’re trying to defend the bullies.
Wow seriously this person..
its okay if you want to complete lyssa
we can just go to another server
or you can be nice and do lyssa on another server
you’re being selfish by forcing the majority (most of the time) to complete lyssa dude
it’s not that you own the map
people who wanna farm are players too WE ALL SHARE THE SADNESS OF BEING BULLIED BY YOU DUDE(FYI)
and you say what are the events for? kidding me?
go complete balthazar! people need those more than lyssa (FYI)
kittening hilarious.
But ultimately, incredibly sad for the human race.
The number of people against a fix to an obviously unintended circumstance in an event chain is mega lol worthy.
How could you have 2 of the shiniest shiny? Which one is the shiniest?
I find it funny that Anet didn’t learn how to put DR on stuns and knockbacks yet.
A) if in any other MMO you get stunned you can’t get stunned again for at least 2 seconds
B) almost all enemies have a knockback or a stun of some sorts. Even the ones that don’t have it in their description
You can get stunlocked by 5 mobs infinitely.
Looks like the mobs are too intelligent for you and are exploiting your lack of stability.
You still haven’t acknowledged that you are wrong about 2 expansions after GW1’s first year.
Maybe use the boon that is the direct counter to knock down/back?
GW1 released it’s first expansion 1 year after launch.
Nightfall was 6 months after that.
GW1 did not have 2 expansions a year after release.
Downed state is soo kittening stupid. When I kill one guy in a group of enemies, I’d like to forget about him and move on to the next target instead of worrying about when his teammates will rez him or worrying about my hp as I try to stomp.
Except you didn’t kill that player.
We have players under the age of 18 if they do buy it is that illegal(online gambling).
It’s not gambling. You are GUARENTEED to get something, just maybe not what you want.
I guess lucky dips should be illegal for children too.
It is gambling.The item you want is not guaranteed when opening the chest,you buy the chests to get a chance on the weapon skins,and nothing else..How in the world are you missing the fact that this is gambling ?
Gambling “. To take a risk in the hope of gaining an advantage or a benefit.” " An act or undertaking of uncertain outcome; a risk: I took a gamble that stock prices would rise."
It’s not gambling, because you don’t have to buy it for the skin. The skin is just one possible item that you can get. It’s like buying a raffle. You get a raffle without any guarantee of getting anything except that you get nothing for buying it and only get something if you win. In this case, you’re buying something which contains something. It’s not TECHNICALLY gambling.
If you put a dollar in a slot machine there’s no guarantee you get anything out of it. If you buy a consortium chest, you get something for your money.
I mean for years, cereal packets have random prices in them. Collect all the toys. Collect all the stickers. We’ve seen McDonalds have a monopoly game where you have to get different pieces to get a chance to win.
Gambling? Nah, not really. But it’s still annoying as hell. lol
.Read the definition of gambling,because it is.And dont even compare gambling to cereal packets,wich you buy to Feed yourself and the toy is a little extra,you dont get a chance to get food,you get food for 100% and a chance on a toy.In this case,i would buy the chest to get the skin since im not interested in getting anything else,now if im buying 100 boxes because i want the weapon skin and i keep getting something else,How is this not gambling….? You can keep telling yourself it isn’t,but it is.
Again..Gambling; An act or undertaking of uncertain outcome; a risk
I buy those chest to get a weapon with uncertain outcome…it’s a risk……By your definition then, running a dungeon for tokens is a risk too, because there’s no guarantee you’ll complete it. It may be gambling in your mind, it’s not gambling by law. And that’s sorta what matters. You can’t regulate something that isn’t gambling.
Baseball cards have random cards in them, you buy them in packs for real money and there’s no guarantee you’ll get a good card. It’s not considered gambling.
It’s not by my definition,it’s by the Dictionairy’s definition,wich you can’t seem to grasp.
You are soooo wrong you should stop posting entirely. Seriously just take a few days off from posting.
I wonder why they haven’t still put a full-screen alert with flashing lights and a detailed description in a very large font. This issue appears, like, everyday in the forums.
I wonder why Unique is still in the game… I believe that would be a better fix than flashing lights.
It would ruin my lore-immersion if I could have 2 of The Shiniest Shinies. Which one is the shiniest??! They can’t both be the shiniest.
Completely lost control in your own thread. GG
So your first conclusion was that someone at Arena.Net logged into your account and removed the clothes from a single character.
L O L.
iTunes has a EULA clause stating you can’t use the product for the design, development or manufacturing of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.
So everyone else decided this was actually a thread about how bad/good underwater combat is and how to fix it.
I want an underwater zone (when the underwater dragon is revealed) where the bottom is impossibly deep and incredibly black (such that if you try to swim down too far you would get a warning that the pressure is too much, similar to the current being too strong on map edges) where the meta zone dragon lieutenant will slowly come into view from below out of the unending deep.
No warning, a random spawn point and just all of a sudden it comes into view.
Pants will be filled. I don’t imagine many people will like it since it can be a serious phobia for some people.
don’t expect me to take a single word you posted seriously.
Sounds good. I’ll continue to disregard everything you say as well. Thanks for posting.
Came around to trolling your own thread G G.
There was a free trial weekend not long ago. It stands to reason that there will be additional free weekends in the future.
