Guild Wars 2

I enjoyed the fight yesterday evening on UWB aswell, even tough it ended with the loss of (my) full fortified Hills Keep ( who of FSP will refund my money? )

Anyways the matchup is awesomely close, havent had this in weeks, looking forward to my vacations starting with wednesday and some more fun =)

Underworld [EU] just got it uncontested

Feel free to give some donations

got plenty of these in my collection, lets see this afternoon

dunno how many forges i made, probably around 50, got 5 silver dubloons so made a 1g30s with stuff i had in my collection, didnt buy any so thanks for that tip :P

Unspecified.9142:

Part of the problem is the ways to get Lodestones without the TP are obscure and not necessarily something people would just discover through ‘normal play’. RNG could easily make it so someone never gets one from any source. So people simply don’t know how to get Lodestones outside of the TP.

And people are allergic to research. It makes them feel ‘icky’ or something.

Edit: I’m sure there is also a correlation between the “Magic find in dungeons makes you a terrible person!” And “OMG Lodestones are too expensive!”

tough, thats what the wiki is for, i bet thats how people gathered information what they need for their legendary, it gives also out how you can get the items.

Just to those that wonder: check out the wiki page that reveals how to get mystic clovers, you’ll find something there, trust me.

wait you dont have any gold on your chars or even better, your bank to pick up to list stuff?

Then yes, its poor planning like Awesome.6120 mentioned and its not the tps fault.

my guess: with the Lost Shore event many people got their precurser and have by now got all the karma and other mats collected resulting in a massive demand for these Lodestones while the supply didnt increase.

lots and lots of candy corn

Speaking as someone who has around 45,000 pieces of candy corn (and growing!), I would really like this. I don’t personally think it will happen though.

Yea, Im really just making fun of this stupid thread with that comment.

I wouldnt even be suprised if it turned out that way. fact is there’s 7559406 Candy Corn available (source) if i recall correct, about half of that goes for 5 copper or less so i’m pretty safe to say manipulating this for a massive profit is nearly impossible, since there’s to much around and only anet knows how much Candy Corn isnt even listed.

Hurtful on a scale of 10, and of course A-Net should ban them ASAP.

The simple reason why its hurtful, these bots feed the gold-sellers which leads to a even higher decrease of the gold → gem value, making gems for people that want to buy them rather with gold than with euro or usd

got plenty of these in my collection, lets see this afternoon

making 50g a day aint possible when you dont have at least 10x the amount of that to speculate with.

Definitely not true. The stuff I do has ROI in the 25-200% range. If you sat there nursing buy orders for 4-6 hours you could make 50g profit starting the day off with maybe 50g. 200g is overkill. 500g is WAY overkill.

What 500g allows you to do is place a zillion buy orders, go to bed, wake up and make 50g. Maybe that’s what you meant.

I was only talking about pure gold investments, if you put in Karma and SP aswell, its surely alot easier, but making 50g a day just with buy low and sell high, you need some cash :P

Roo Stercogburn, with all respect, his topic is pretty clear :P

anyhow i find this step a little awkward, I mean if you are interested in putting together our forces, you shouldnt post that on the official forums. Better would have been to contact one of our people, this request is jsut so wrong on so many levels.

making 50g a day aint possible when you dont have at least 10x the amount of that to speculate with.

However if you got around 500g it shouldnt be to hard to let this money work for you, of course the higher your profit is the more work it will be, especially if you are going for “clean” profit, clean as in, no other resources other than gold used unlike upgrading with the MF.

Simply buy low sell high can do that, no doubt.

I disagree, the name kind of stands for the Skin.

What you suggest would allow people to wear “destroyer” items with the look of a “corrupted” one.

additional to that, it will confuse people that want the same skin because they find it cool: you get asked what weapon that is, you link it, they go to the tp and buy the “limitless furnance” and end up having a different skin, does more bad than good imo

Fractals of the Mist.

The Underwater-one is dropping them like crazy (first part) additional the high suppy of Heavy Miner Bags that can drop these T6 Mats aswell.

Kind of interesting tough that Scales dropped in prices but totems not as much

Schnuffles.5369:

Now a week has passed and I’ve made my money I will share my method regarding 1 skillpoint for 1 gold conversion. (this method won’t work anymore)

I predicted Onyx Lodestones to go up in value, which they did.
1 week ago i was buying Onyx Cores and promoting them into lodestones, for a cost of 1.2G and .6 of a skillpoint (crystals at 3 skill points for 5)
Today i sell my Onyx Lodestones for 2.2G a pop.

Now when you do this on a large scale you make an insane amount of money.

been doing the same with Destroyer Lodestones last days, not that much of a profit span top-profit was 50s a Lodestone, not bad either

I like that maplayout alot more than the current one

4g into 50g within 30 mins sounds a bit exaggerated to me.

I’ve done pretty much the same last two days made 30g in about 2 hours effective “work time” including buy listings, forging and sell listings.

But maybe you founds something with higher profit than me, wont claim that the thing i’ve done was the ultimate plan

why should something that is declared rare or exotic become more common? That simply goes against the nature of their rarity :P

I just started some attempts to make gold with the TP/MF yesterday, result was pretty good for an hour in the afternoon, made like 8g with this, not to bad i suppose

Tracking my buy order from this morning with my target, i’ll have approx 10g profit for 15 mins in the morning and 15 later when im at home for the sell setup

looks kinda nice, only flaw is that i rely on skillpoints :P

please no more annoying notifications :P The TP one is already “meh” xD

other and imo better solution: have the message of the day appear as guildchat message on login and change.

I disagree with #1 aswell.

I’d rather like to see a Out-of-Fight weaponswap, for the only reason to have it more handy than open inventory and find the weapon you want to use, additional it can save you some inventory space :P

2: As Staff-Ele for the most time I have 20 points in arcane, so i dont see a big issue there even tough, cooldowns could be a little shorter you shouldnt neglect the fact, that Attunementswap is considered a weaponswap and therefor Sigils apply.

I use a superior sigil of energy on my staff, that grants me another dodgeroll on attunement swap

3- beside the bow and the GS i dont like any of the summoned weapons alot, tough Bow is only useful in certain situations, basically the charges on those weapons shouldnt be lowered while using the 1 attack, otherwise it makes them barely useful.

4- The elites are really not all that great, however i think allowing healskill within a transformation would make OP for all of them not only Elementalists, also thinking of the Norn-Racial ones or Warrior Rampage, didnt play alot with other transforms. on the other hand, its an elite skill so maybe with a higher cooldown would be fine.

in guildchat

reason: not everyone opens the guild tab and that way people wont miss a guild announcement when its the first thing they see after logging on

there’s plenty of other stuff i’d like to see for better guild performance, but that has been already suggested in other threads, so just another idea here

I agree on the Recipe thing. Not only for Ectos, also T6 mats.

Exotics require 5 ectos and 5 T6 mats to craft, Ascendend Gear takes 10 times the ectos and even up to 50 times the t6 mats, thats imo a to big mat boost a stat-improvement that aint that big (imo)

Hello everyone,

i dont know if its been posted already, but what bothers me about the Fractals Dungeon is, that the progress is only saved for your character.

It bothers me because i’m someone that prefers to have change from time to time, and since the fractals themself dont offer alot of varity, i’d like to go there with a different character without pulling my group down to level 1

I think the progress you made should count for your account and not a certain character.

Greetings

sorry moug cant resist :P

ur the pink power ranger

grown to about 20 active people right now, total member count 28

still looking forward to recruit some more peeps

Got a commander in our rows aswell now

EU Underworld uncontested

Within 2 hours fractals i got more rare items than before farming the same time cursed shore. So as of that, the supply of ectos didnt decrease, I rather think its the opposite, the supply increased, the demand (see Ksielvins post) even more.

I got 10 ectos just this weekend from running Fractals Level 4 – 7

and beside dropping, theres another method of getting in touch with rare items, that i will not tell now, after all it shouldnt be to difficult to figure out.

i’d agree to the monthly, tough monthly should really use an monthly effort and should not be completable within a day or two. and then again, not 30g, maybe 10g

Its pretty obvious that its not this way. Why? A few weeks ago you could get with a few silver as many gems as now with a few gold.

That means gold is worth less (not worthless) than a few weeks ago. Obviously due people playing, bots botting (sadly, but you got to take this into account aswell) and a general increase of the amount of gold ingame. However, if the amount of gems was limited, that would mean gems would get worth more the less there are available, in other words, if you wanted to trade gems in gold, you’d get more gold than a few weeks ago.

Gems are an unlimited resource, they have to be – how would you react if you want to buy Gems worth 50 USD to buy something from the store or exchange for gold and you’d get told “sorry, sold out”? Wouldnt be that smart for a company :P

Updated the original post a bit, we keep looking for players, you dont need to be from europe, you can be from any place in this world

I think what always happens when 2 servers invade 1 server is, that both of those invading servers want to reduce the amount of property that the defending server has.

Ideally one team takes the west-side, the other the east side, which automatically leads to a 2v1

I think “server alliances” will only happen if one server is totally dominating, but then again if that one server is absolutely domianting, nothing will change even with an alliance… so after all, removing orbs shouldnt impact any of the fighting balance, but makes it easier to “come back” for losing servers since they dont lack the hp bonus that orbs provided

Very Good topic!

Tough i’d like to correct Point #5 a little.

It’s perfectly fine to pick up supplies from Towers/Keeps when they are already fully upraded (check the Upgrademaster for this) and your plan of attack takes a lot of supply runs (camp holds only 100 – 250 supplies while a keep holds up to 1700)

Generally: Every Stat you gain, is an improvement.

On a lower level i probably wouldnt spent cash on buying them, but if you pick something up that appears useful, why not use it?

As I said, I switch attunements as much as possible.

but basically within the attunements
Fire: Lava Chains (Slot 4) to cripple the enemy
Water: Ice Wall (Slot 3) to get on distance, then Ice Wall detonate (again Slot 3) to chil:l the foe
Air: Air Bubble (Slot 4) to immobilize or better said: to make him go where i want him to
Earth: Rock Anchor (Slot 4) same intention as Air Bubble.

For damaging Water Slot 2 (Ice Cube) is very nice especially if you detonate that thing short before it hits the target.

The AoEs of Air and Fire (both on slot 2) are nice aswell.

and last but not least, keep moving!

hmm i kinda gotta disagree here :S

On my ele i’m doing pretty fine in underwater combat, the only thing that’s a pain in the kitten there is when you get attacked from behind, especially in Orr.

But other than that, my key for underwater combat is switching the attunements as many times as possible and beat the hell out of an oponent that way.
Could do a skill point in Orr without big issues where a warrior died short before i arrived.

In WvW I can do pretty well in a underwater 1v1 aswell, havent got to many 2v1 situations yet

Thanks for these Infos, I just started this week with doing them regularly every evening

the jumping puzzles on the borders are a matter for 10 minutes max if you’re not getting bothered by other players.

I barely get siege golems there, mostly its catas, trebs and flame rams and 3-5 badges.
Which is fine imo, especially if you’re someone that provides sieges for a successful attack and as a commander you might consider being someone like that. Saves you a lot of money for pretty much small effort.

not sure if you can do jumpingpuzzles multiple times a day using different toons, im doing them on my ele most of the time tough

edit: however, blueprints are soulbound

I’ve got a Berserker armor set, still got accessiors to craft, i think ill get some vit/tough on them, maybe half of the slots for that + guild backpack should do fine

atm i got Major Rune of Dolyak 4/4 and Minor Rune of the Soldier 2/2 to cover for some tough/vit until im fully outgeared

sent you a pm

thanks for that!

For armor I was thinking about 4 parts berserkers and 2 parts with some vitality and/or toughness on to not be a complete glass cannon

Yeah i’m bringing my mesmer to wvw regularly and manage, at least, already to get out of a outnumbering fight alive already

didnt get to many 1v1 situations yet to see what i can do there but that aint my main concern anyways.

Currently i’m switching between the possible weapons quite frequently. most of the time its GS + Scepter/Focus or Pistol and I like the abilities and skills with these weapons, just need to figure out the “best trait stats” once i hit 80 and align my gear to it… luckily my elementalist is Tailor 400 so getting the right gear wont be a to big issue

@wads mind sharing your traits and equipment?

that sounds pretty much how i like to play my mesmer but i’m not 80 yet and didnt figure out my final build and gear yet

I’d like to have that aswell, maybe not for legendary weapons or named, but kitten sure for self-crafted stuff.

the weapons are crafted with 2 parts or 2 materials, make it possible to dye the part or material depending on what weapon

agree on alot of things there.
For the multi-guild stuff, it would be nice to be able to chat with other guilds, but the influence gained should only go to the main guild (representing).

Guild Tax sounds nice, but should be allowed to be adjusted from the leader or an appointed treasure-keeper.

beside the rank-system adjustments, i’d like to have some “individual” flags aswell.
allow me to flag one person for something without creating a completely new rank for him.

other than that, last seen and logged on/off message in chat are must-haves.

a general information page for guildwebsite (clickable!!!) and voice-chat would be nice to have aswell.

the only solution for “nightcapping” is to remove the area reference (EU/NA and so on) along with a complete server wipe by forcing the players to (re-)pick a new server.

that and only that way you’ll have 24/7 coverage on all servers. still some more some less, but overall way more balanced than right now.

You are forgetting language based servers. The German players come from the same time zone.

There is also latency issue when you are playing on server located far away.

In case you did not know, France, Germany and Spain are all located within europe

j/k i know that i didnt point them out but of course those should be wiped aswell.

for the latency. I wrote in another topic already, that i have reason to believe the WvWvW servers are located in the US already so, there wouldnt be a problem.

The reason I believe the servers are located in the US is, whenever im in party with a guildie that is in WvW and i’m regulary exploring the world, his location is shown as “World versus World (Sorrow’s Furnace)” while we are originally located on Underworld. Might be just a display bug but after all, latency aint that much of a issue in wvw since its only going to be a difference of 100 – 200 ms at max and as WvW is designed, its not about 1v1 fights where latency can be a matter

EnoLive.2367:

Simple solution:
Kill WvWvW and make it GvGvG.
Lets face it the game name is Guild Wars Not Server Wars.
Problem solved

and what other problems would come from that? It would have to be a very complex system so monster guilds of hundreds of players aint favored over small guilds.

WvW is fine, it just needs some adjustments to assure population balance.
Once population balance is pretty much granted, any counting system will work out

the only solution for “nightcapping” is to remove the area reference (EU/NA and so on) along with a complete server wipe by forcing the players to (re-)pick a new server.

that and only that way you’ll have 24/7 coverage on all servers. still some more some less, but overall way more balanced than right now.

hello!

We have grown to about 10 active member right now and are looking forward to recruit some more.

Beside WvW we also do lot of dungeon runs.

check out the website for contacting me outside the game, or just leave me a message here i will reply asap

Look at it this way:

If both invading servers provide their full power, you still need to split up your own power to hold two lines, after all, you’ll have 49 less than your invading opponent on each side. that ofc given you split the forces equally.

I was wondering about this aswell.

Is it really the same amount per server per map? That should be – in my opinion – only the case for the EB. In your home borderland you should have a population advantage over the invaders.

If its 166 per side per map, for the BL it should be readjusted to maybe 200 for the defender VS 149 each on the invaders. Its the own territory after all and you be able to have more people there than your enemy.

I think the main issue on this is that the servers are dedicated to host a certain “group” of people by their assignment to a certain region.

I think the problem could be resolved simply by removing the EU/NA/FR/ESP/GER tags from the servers and make all servers “worldwide”. (and maybe a few less to keep a population balance).

Since we’re talking about WvW the latency/ping shouldnt be a real issue like it might be in sPvP because i think a difference of 100ms isnt a big deal, I however, have reason to believe the “wvw” servers are located in the US anyways because always when i’m in group with people in wvw their Location is shown as “World versus World (Sorrow’s Furnace)” might be wrong on this but its odd.

With worldwide servers (and of course forced server-repick for everyone) the issue of nightcapping wouldnt exist since all timezones would be covered by all servers.

What about those that dont understand english to well? Well those find themselfs within guilds anyways.
