They were there 1st, so they have priority. I don’t see the problem. You can guest where ever you want aswell, just because it’s your home server doesn’t give you any extra rights to be there. Easy solution, come to event early if your on a high population server.

Slight nerf to Tequatl?

in Tequatl Rising

Posted by: Curse Drew.8679

Curse Drew.8679

I don’t think he needs a nerf, however he does need a change. It’s unbealivibly hard to get onto a good server without hitting overflow. Overflows never have enough organized ppl to complete it either.

Teq only spawns like every hour and a half, so even if you manage to get on the main server, you have to wait forever for him to spawn, which is hardly fun and a waist of my time. I know the machanics and what needs to be done, & I rarely die fighting him it’s not that hard. What makes it stupid is the amount of life teq has for the time limit given, and ANET’s broken overflow problem.

After waiting for hours to get him spawned, then watching that bone wall come up because stupid noobs are on the turrets is frustrating. I’ve already given up, I refuse to spend my entire day waiting around for the stars to align to complete this bs. With how ANET has Teq currently set you just have to be in the right place at the right time, to have good & coodinated ppl there to get the job done. My skill is meaningless, it’s too dependent on the random people there with you.

Sell runes of holding at laurel vendor.

Ya you might get more with heavy crafting bags, but you can also get less, there is rng involved & thats why i compaired value with something more constant. Spending 25 laurels on heavy crafting bags, you would probably come out ahead over buying unid dyes. Good point though, maybe the laurel value is closer to 50s.

Most people use fractal bags because they are cheaper, which bypasses this gold sink. This would be a laurel sink, and it’s needed also, if everyone starts buying all heavy bags with all thier laurels then eventually it will have an impact on t6s. No matter what method you use to convert those laurels into gold you are effecting a market. And why i’d suggest something that consumes alot of laurels at one time, and it’s something people want & need multiples copies of.

I do like fractal bags because they help divide my drops, and make it easier for me to tell what to salvage and what to keep. But i also don’t like having all fractal bags because compact doesn’t work and they don’t have an invisible fractal bag. I think most people would rather use a fractal bag rather then spend 10g, and that makes the gold sink less effective.

The reason the regular superior versions are cheap is because there’s a potent superior version, & they last twice as long, and only cost 20% more to craft then normal ones. You’ll get alot better return selling them vs regular superior ones, but the recipes are expensive like 20g on the trading post now.

Sell runes of holding at laurel vendor.

Curse Drew.8679

I think it would be nice to have more options for spending laurels. Since 10 unid dyes sell for 5 laurels, and they are worth about 21s each, you can pretty much value a laurel at around 40s. Runes of holding are sold 10g, so i’d say a 25 laurels for 1 rune of holding would be a fair trade.

Also since we are getting alot of new ascended items, i was thinking this could be taken a step further and you could make an ascended rune of holding, that could make a 25 slot bag, and could be crafted with lvl 500 crafting.

Make it happen please!

Thanks!

Salvaging Exotics for Inscriptions

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Curse Drew.8679

Curse Drew.8679

Why would you think they would add inscriptions to loot tables that we can already get.

Because that’s what they said.

“Because we wanted all stat combos in the game to be represented in Ascended Weapons, we have added new Exotic Inscriptions to the salvage tables on all non-crafted Exotic weapons and to drops where applicable.”

There were not any exotic inscriptions in the salvage loot tables before. So every inscription would be a newly added one; it’s probably that key word ALL non-crafted exotics.

There’s people out there right now spending as little as possible and farming like fiends to make their legendaries (good luck) with sole intent to sell them. Suddenly making them account bound isn’t going to be fair to those people, when hundreds of other players have already sold their’s for major gold. Legendaries probably shouldn’t have been sellable from the start, but since they were changing it now just isn’t going to work because Anet doesn’t want that backlash for someone who FINALLY got their precursor and went to sell but couldn’t.

And making my 50+ sellable exotics that became account bound from last update, is fair to me & the thousand other people who had them?

They cannot make Legendaries account bound now because that will cause more problems. What they can do is make the next legendaries be account bound. That’s the only solution I could think of.

You’re wrong. Trust me i just had 50+ exotics which used to be tradable become account bound. They could if they wanted to.

I like thier big sharp teeth, thier red angry eyes, and thier rude attitude. I love how they destroyed Ascalon in gw1, that’s why i chose one. Today at Dwayna, she was being crushed by 100 man zerk, cornering her into the wall, all i could think about was joining her party to defend her.

I like having an ugly monster as my char, & i think playing as human would be to ordinary and boring for me. For fun activitys I like finding dead players & rezzing them 90% of the way (have them tell me “TY”), and then leaving their dead corpes laying there to rot.

Because you don’t like charrs, it makes me proud that i chose one.

Legendaries should have been account bound from the beginning. Anet can’t go back and change it now, but that doesn’t mean they have to continue making the same mistake going forward.

Well, ANET has already taken an entire market of tradable items and make them account bound (MF items). So i wouldn’t say they can’t go back and change it.

Unbound ex-MF items suddenly soulbound?

Curse Drew.8679

Destroyed their usefulness?? If it was usefull to you, you would have been using it and it would have been soulbound/ accountbound already. No, you were speculating on the items becoming something more expensive due to the change and it didn’kittens not the games fault that you failed to put in the research in the items you were flipping.

It’s useless to me because i have no use for it. I don’t need them for gear, I have more dark matter then i need, & salvaging exotics for ecto is usually a waist. The only way it’s useful to me is selling it, and now it’s account bound, so YES it’s useless!

BTW, it is the games fault actually that i can’t salvage inscriptions from my non-crafted exotics like they announced i could.

Salvaging Exotics for Inscriptions

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Curse Drew.8679

Curse Drew.8679

So what ANET meant to announce: non-craftable inscriptions, can be salvaged from exotics containing those stats.

But what ANET actually said was: “we added new Exotic Inscriptions to the salvage tables on all non-crafted Exotic weapons” (hence named exotics being non-craftable, eventhough some contain berserker stats, yet they yield nothing)

So ANET costed me gold due to them announcing this incorrectly, because i salvaged so many named exotics expecting inscriptions. It’s very unclear what they meant, no wonder ppl haven’t figured out why they are not getting inscriptions. The announcement says ALL non-crafted exotics.

Unbound ex-MF items suddenly soulbound?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Curse Drew.8679

Curse Drew.8679

Having an undefined item, which is what they did with items with MF, is simply to powerful of an item to be tradeable so they soulbound them. Sadly they didn’t have the ability to only do it until you chose a type at which time free them up for trade. At least you can still salvage them for something.

They didn’t have to make the item undefined, ANET chose to do that. They could of picked any stat combo for non-account bound items. Instead they chose to make them undefined and account bound, knowing ppl had tons of these items, and they couldn’t use them after the change. This was thier choice, and it was a very poor one. I don’t want to hear any excuses for ANET, because they are clearly in the wrong!

It was the only way to go, else we would have seen an increible spike in zerker gear on the tp. Too bad that you missed the post but it was pretty clear what they intended to do.

Because everyone reads the patchnotes like it’s the gospel. Making non-account bound items into account bound IS THE ONLY CHOICE? REALLY!!!!! NO, it’s the worst way you could possibly handle it. How about we fix the market by destorying your account, IT"S THE ONLY WAY! See how stupid that sounds!

Changing my stuff to account bound without my permission isn’t a good choice at all. I paid gold for those items, and ANET destroyed thier usefulness, so it’s pretty much like stealing from me (as far as im concerned). So i do plan on voicing my opinion and letting ANET know this is BS. ANET, you will be hearing from me alot more.

I’m also very upset about this. I could understand equipment that was already soulbound changing to whatever stats you want, and remaining soul bound. To make everything that had mf on it before soulbound is just stupid. WHY DO THIS? It was announced that explorer stats would change to berserker, and travelers would change aswell. But only certain items got change and everyone that was holding the rest of the exotics looses gold due to this crap.

Selling items that had Magic Find stats

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Curse Drew.8679

Curse Drew.8679

Yeah this is BS.

I bought like 50 named exotics right before the patch. I bought all exporers stats(power, precision, mf), because they said those would change to beserker. They also said that non-craftable (hence named) could be salvage for inscriptions, & would be added to the salvage tables. Which after salvaging 20 named exotics, i still havent seen one inscription.

I was under the assumption that already soulbound MF gear that ppl wear would allow you to choose a new stat, and that tradable exotics would auto change to what was announced. This would of made sense, and the way i read the announcement, I understood it this was how it was supposed to be.

I thought my items were bugged, untill i read this, because most of my named items have no stats, and i can’t sell them. I figured they forgot to change some of the stats of the named items to thier announced stats. Now i find out that it isn’t a bug it’s how they meant to implement them, which i must say is stupid. So i cant even sell them, they have no inscriptions (even though they are supposed to), i’m just stuck with them.

I might have misread the part about: Weapons, armor, and trinkets that had a magic find stat combo have been flagged as account bound. Regaurdless though, i do agree this isn’t a fair change

Two days in a row i have put 4 greatswords into the mystic forge (using a mystic forge conduit), and have gotten a staff back both times. Yesterday i did it with yellows and was pretty annoyed, but it only costed me a couple of gold and i figured it might be a fluke. Since there was an update, i figured the problem was fixed, but today i used 4 exotics which costed me around 6-7g. That’s enough to tick me off enough to write up this bug report. For the love of god, please fix this crap.

If you want to reimburse me with a dusk, then ill forgive you.

I knew logs and ore were the building blocks for weps. So when they announced ascended weps I bought 8k+ ancient logs. I paid around 90c each. I had so many stacks though i couldn’t store them, so i decided to list them on the trading post as a way to store them for later/sell for top price. I didn’t want to pick a ridiculous price because i’d have to pay 5% of whatever i listed them for. I ended up choosing 4s, i figured they would prob go that high and would likely be close to the highest point, and i never expected them to go to 16s, 4 times my estimated high point. I can’t believe they went so high, and the amount of profit i missed. O-well it was still a great investment. I still have 1k ancient wood in my personal guild storage, for personal use.

On gw1’s 1st annivarsary it was epic with the release of the birthday presents. I had only been playing for maybe 3-4 months so i didnt get one. I remember the common ones selling for 100g and 10-50 ecto. The prices varied greatly (who was selling it and which one, what rarity), and since there was no trading post thier was no regulation. Fortunes were gained in a day & after a week the prices plumited.

My GW1 story:
I remember having around 300k gold, and picked up my first couple minipets for around 50-60k each. When i was able to sell them for 100k + 30 ecto, i started spamming everywhere buying mini pets pm me. I found a mini prince rurik 1st day, i bought for 100k + 100 ecto and sold it for 100k + 500 ecto. i had times where i had 20-30 mini pets, and sold them all. I made around 10-20m gold in a few days. It was crazy. I was so addicted to trading minis i hardly even slept those 1st few days. All i could think was: $ + =:D profit$ +, must make +$. Clearly not thinking straight from lack of sleep.

Eventhough, i was late starter for GW2, again, I can see how those who played GW1 are dissapointed. The epic rewards of the 1st GW, & those 1st players who got thier gifts got more gold selling them then most had ever gotton playing. Gw2’s birthday gifts are pretty lame in comparison. And i’m also soo sorry i can’t swindle all those poor souls out of thier precious birthday gifts again

Give 2H weapons 2 infusion slots

Posted by: Curse Drew.8679

Curse Drew.8679

I’ve been wondering if these ascended weapons will even have infusion slots. If they do, does this mean they wont have sigils? Will they have both? To me I think sigils are more important, and I would be dissapointed if i couldn’t have them on my ascended weapon.

How much agony resistance do you really need? I’m at lvl 40 fractals, and while agony is very important, most of it can be avoided except maw. At lvl 40 everything hits so hard, the agony isn’t usually what kills me if i die. Sure having over 45 agony would mean you could advance past lvl 49, but how high do you need to go & how much extra rewards could there be? I really have no desire to advance past lvl 40 without some new rewards to make it worthwhile.

Think about it for ascended armor, another 30 agony. Seems excessive to me. Some builds wouldn’t be as effective without runes. So i think these new ascended items will have runes and sigils, and that’s what makes me think that maybe infusion slot might not be included.

Honestly i could careless about agony resistance anyways, because i got my rings and back long ago, I’ve already got many of fractal weapons and don’t need any more. Fractals just do not have much to offer me.

I’d say if you want a blue super skin then i’d buy it now. There’s a picture of a yellow super bow, so i think the old skins will be back but a different color. They announced you can complete your set, & they show a blue axe.

Everyone knows what Josh said originally, and ANET tries their best to keep ppl happy. Those who invested for 4 months and lost money, will have a chance to recover their losses, and possibly make some $ with their gamble. The people who want the old skins to return get their wish too, just with a different color. If i’m right, I think it’s a wise choice to implement it this way.

Advice on gear upgrades

Posted by: Curse Drew.8679

Curse Drew.8679

Yep, get a guild.

There’s daily meta events you can do to to obtain yellows, some are more popular than others use this site: gw2stuff.com/ So you will know when they are active, and where they are.

You can get exotic armor/weapons doing dungeons. You’ll probably want berserker stats, so i’ll recommend COF P1 (citidel of flame: path 1), it’s a good one for new warriors.

Untill lvl 80 i’d focus on uncovering maps & waypoints, so you can do those daily meta events, they are pretty rewarding. Also the living story will take you all over the place, so might aswell uncover it now. Most people are 80’s already, and they come to lower lvl zones only when it’s worth it, which most of the time it isn’t, so they are pretty dead usually.

I think doing these events you will see many many people, get some exp, & see some huge monsters/dragons. Some are low lvl events aswell like lvl 15 events, which are still worth doing at lvl 80.

1600 Rare Greatsword into the Mystic Forge

in Crafting

Posted by: Curse Drew.8679

Curse Drew.8679

Mmmk so I’ve probably spent around 3k gold in the forge. 15 precursors later heres what i can tell you.

Diminished returns can seem likely when you hit a rough patch. I’ve done 6-700g worth with nothing, but just 3 nights ago i popped 3 dawns in a 3-4 hour span. No diminished returns, this is just how the RNG works.

As far as anything being guaranteed, I really don’t think we can say that there is a guarantee. I am pretty sure that dumping 3k rares into the forge could very well net you with nothing. At the end of the day, the RNG is so bad and the numbers are so low that you are never guaranteed. I’ve gone from 800g, to 0g back to 400g, then to 900g, then to 150g and then to 1200g. All this obtained without hitting astronomical numbers like 1600 greatswords.

People in this thread have stated, your chances to get a pre are the same on your first try as they are on your 100th try. It literally comes down to luck. The only trend I’ve noticed was getting named exotics. Go dump 100g in the forge and count the named exotics you get. The more you get, the higher the chance to get a pre on your next batch of 50 staves. Of course, thats just my observation so it could mean fk all to everybody else. Again, it’s all luck and even my small sample size of 15 won’t do much in helping others.

With as much forging experiance as you have, can you please put a number on what you feel the odds are. I feel 1/100 lvl 80 exotics is pretty close to accurate. Do you feel like you have forged around 1500 exotics, give or take, obtaining those 15 precursers? I know sample sizes are small from the data i’m using, and through my own experiances, but i’d really love to hear #’s, even if your guesstimating.

1600 Rare Greatsword into the Mystic Forge

in Crafting

Posted by: Curse Drew.8679

Curse Drew.8679

It seems to me that a precurser’s odds are about 1/100 lvl 80 exotics. I know Anet hasn’t released this info, but i’ve talked with others that have forged them, and I’ve gotton 2 precursers now from the forge. This is a ratio that i think is really close to accurate.

With 1600 rare gs, that’s 400 attempts, which there’s about a 1/5 chance to upgrade an item in mf. So he probably got around 80 exotics. Which is a pretty good chance at a precurser, but it’s still just a chance.

The SAB skins were a 1/50 chance, yet it took me about 160 chests before i got my 1st, but then i got another at 180 chest, and my luck got alot better after my streak of bad luck was over. My point is even if he did another 1600 there is no gaurentee.

It’s a gamble, and the precurser prices are so high because they are so rare. Only gamble with what you can afford to loose, don’t throw all you got at the forge expecting something, because most likely you will be dissapointed.

To bad you won’t be able to get people to craft for you the new gear. :/

Actually, it kinda sounds like ppl can craft it for you.

“This tier is time-constrained, so each item can only be made once per day in order to help give high-level crafters their own economy of items to build and sell that retain their value and rarity.”

Taken straight from: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/

Eventhough all ascended items have been account-bound in the past, this new ascended gear seems like it might be sellable, to make crafting better and a source of income.

BTW, getting to lvl 400 crafting isn’t expensive. depending on the type of crafting it takes between 8g-18g to get to lvl 400. If you can soon generate income from it, you might want to consider learning the crafting yourself.

I got the MF conduit and love it, for 50g, it helps keep me from going to town when my inventory is filled. Also towns/merchants are everywhere, but the mystic forge is only in LA. So having your own portable & permanent MF does come in handy. Also it’s resellable after using it, & there will not be any more produced, so the price will eventually rise. It’s a convenience & an investment item.

Actually the MF is also everywhere.
You can use the one in Heart of the Mist. The main drawback is losing your stacks if you happen to be using one of those sigils.

Yeah but loading the pvp map for the sole purpose of the MF is hardly convenient. Yes, it will save you a couple silver, but it’s not anymore convenient or more accessable then lions arch, because you have to load the map traveling thier and wait for it again to load, while traveling back.

I got my 2nd precurser yesterday (both from forge).

My 1st was a couple months ago, when they started this 1+ yellow for each world boss. Tossed in almost every yellow, and within 2 weeks of doing it i got The Chosen (290g). Ive been doing every since, even bought many yellows, and had no more luck with yellows.

For the past couple days i’ve been buying cheap exotics and using them with all these mystic forge stones. I’ve done 60+ attempts and i got 1 precurser, Storm which i sold for 110g.

I’d say i’ve broken even on both of them, but if i didn’t get them it would of been a huge loss. Odds are very low for a precurser. Only risk what you can afford to loose, and don’t put all your gold in expecting one and quit if it doesn’t happen. That’s just stupid of the ppl who do this.

For a new warrior i’d recommend Citidel of Flame – Path 1 (cof p1). Warriors are great class for this dungeon, because they do so much damage. They are wanted in party’s to make things go quicker. You will get tokens from the dungeon, which you can use to buy exotic berserker armor and weapons. It’s also one of the best gold making areas in the game. Look it up, you’ll thank me later.

It’s in Anet’s best interests if Evon wins. Keil’s lower wp costs would take away a needed gold sink, but Evon makes keys cheaper and people will spend mass amounts stock piling them.

Event skins comeback

I have a feeling this whole living story will eventurally repeat itself. Maybe something like every 2 years. I’m thinking they didn’t build molten facility and other dungeons for only 2 weeks. They have all these previous living story updates saved and they could be rereleased. These are sequential events building up a long story of the world, giving the feeling it’s alive and changing, but eventually this story will end right?

I wouldn’t expect anything to repeat in under 1 year however, because they are still developing content every 2 weeks. This will probably happen when the masses get tired of playing, and cash shop sales are on a decline, which would limit the games development.

I’d say you probably have a chance to get the skin again, however you might not like how far in the future it’s rereleased.

People who undercut by more than 1c, are bad, and lower items value quickly. Sure it’s easy to think i’ll lower mine 10% cheaper and sell it quicker, but the next person who is selling that item, sees your item is the lowest price. He probably isn’t going to look up the item and see that it’s marginally lower, no he will undercut your price by 1c. After a few more do the same they have created a new price ceiling in which all of them have to sell for the price to get back to original price.

If someone wants something, they will buy it. Lowering the price 10% may seem more enticing to someone, but really doesn’t make that big of a difference because it’s very likley you will be undercut before it sells. If you need the money quickly just do us all a favor and sell it to the highest buyer, i’m sure they will appreciate it.

Honestly, you had to know the price of zhaitaffy wasn’t going to stay at 5c, its your own fault for not investing. You can trade 5 zhaitaffy for a 20m duration top quality food, & the half hour duration foods sell for 3s. You could of paid 25c for each food.

Due to the surplus, and only 20m duration, i thought 1s for the foods would still be reached in a short amount of time. So I bought 25,000 zhaitaffy at 6c each. I figured that was the bottom, not knowing they would drop for another 9 days after the month ended, but it was still a decent price, eventhough i could of paid 4c each.

Today i sold 25,000 for 19c each for a very nice profit. I didn’t know untill yesterday that zhaitaffy would be tradeable for chests. Knowledge is power, no risk no reward, and it takes money to make money. Everything they say about investing is true. But you aslo need common sense and the ability to do math. When Anet made the exchange rates they were baised off the value of those goods at the time:

Mithril ore was selling around 35c, so 50 needed x 35c = 17.5s
Zhaitaffy was selling for 5c, so 300 needed x 5c = 15s

Baisically all the exchangable goods would of costed between 15s to 25s for each supply box. But now zhaitaffy is the worst way to buy these, because the price rose so high. So i bet most of the zhaitaffy will probably be exchanged for food, because at 15c each, your paying 45 silver per supply box. But 75c for a 20m duration food is still a good price.

Karka queen-hasn't been done in 268+ hours.

I have been giving this some thought, as i too like getting 2 extra yellows a day. I think the solution to the problem is to recuite all karka queeners to 1 server with guesting, and this server shall be known to all as the southsun headquarters.

Let me start off by saying i love guesting. It speeds daily events up massively, & if you haven’t been taking advatage of this feature your missing out. It’s easy & free. In char select screen, choose select world, pick server, and choose guest, then click confirm. You are now on this server untill you visit the char select screen again. you can guest to 2 server per 24 hours, and you can guest to these servers as much as you want for 24 hours. It’s probably one of the most underrated features in the game.

So i’ve done my share of guesting, and have visited all the servers (probably?). I’d like to choose Jade Quarry as the southsun headquarters, because this server has it’s stuff together. Being from Kaineng server, we lack enough participants for temple events, only a few get done in a timely manner, and some sit for 24 hours+ never getting completed. Nobody knows when ppl are completing them because it will be 4h after they’ve spawned, it’s just really hard to do temple events on kaineng for these reasons. Now, i’ve been doing alot of guesting and Jade Quarry is really good at zerking these temple events, about every temple seems to get a good size zerk within about 10 min. These ppl on this server are awsome with events, and that’s why i guest there everyday.

This server probably gets queen done close to daily (but not everyday), but if they had more partipants in the southsun area it would only help. Tell your friends to come, tell them about how awsome guesting is, and that Jade Quarry is the place, then as ppl watch gw2stuff.com for thier events, they will start to see how active Jade Quarry is with the karka queen. Soon it will snow ball and then all shall know to come to Jade Quarry to kick the queen’s teeth in.

Guild Wars need guild wars

Sounds fun to me!

Edit: So maybe not anywhere in the world; i guess there could be specific spots to avoid this scenario, and maybe a time limit to prevent these mobs staying around forever.

Guild Boxes!

Well i was thinking of a new guild activity, and maybe these could be a reward for doing guild missions, or random rare drop, or cash shop item. Idk how they are implemented, but think it would be cool.

So here is the idea:

Guild Box: This box contains huge amounts of enemys. Maybe like 200-400 normal enemys, 30-100 vets, or 5-10 champions. Or possibly a mix.

The numbers probably need to be tweeked (maybe baised on the number of ppl present), but something very challenging. something you can spawn anywhere in world, and something you can double click from your inventory to initiate the box. Something, when you see a guildy spam it in guild chat the entire guild, says ’hells yeah, lets do it" and ppl flock to you to wipe the box.

Ofcourse there would have to be nice random rewards that are unique to this box, maybe new skins, tools, toys, minis, who knows. Something worth it though.

Now i just need your thoughts, too keep bumping the post to make sure it’s seen!
Thanks!

Dont let it get you down if you haven’t gotten one yet. After i saw aegis on the dragon shield i was determained to get one, and farmed for 4-5 days collecting coffers. I was getting really discouraged around the 1k mark, because i heard of so many other opening less then 100 and getting thier ticket. But i kept at it, and it was around the 1.4k mark i got my ticket. Now i’ve stopped farming the holograms and sell off my coffers. I found a dragon wing from one set of holograms throughout my 5 day farming frenzy also, so in the end it was worth the time invested. Just keep at it, because it could be right around the corner, you dont know untill you open more
