Guild Wars 2

You cant get them yet.

They pulled the three legendarys we where supposed to have on release of HOT out, and they will hopefully come in November, at this point im not holding my breath.

Ugh yes please, with how many of these get handed out…

Ive probably destroyed over 1000 of them by now simply because i get more crowbars than chests…

Still having people not get credit for guild puzzles.. ;-;

Ive already seen quite a few people asking for help at HP when no events where happening(Nightfall had end on verdant brinks with 7 minutes left) three people asked over and over for help with heropoints and so far as i know they never got it, before the map closed….

Oh please, enough with these threads.

I was glad we had a bunch of people with mentor tags(again) on my verdant brink map, we only had two commanders(Me and someone else) and those mentors tagged up and got us on track enough to just barely get a tier 4 night completion tonight.

I dont see a problem with them at all. (Despite the one troll we had show up for a few minutes). And yes, those mentors where also explaining the events as they went to the players around them, quite a few who i swear had never done the map before.

laokoko.7403:

at least he’s smarter than anyone even bothering to post at sell order.

You have a chance now to get it from the new karma recipe vendor. So the price is tanking. Better run when you can.

Either that, or hold of until wintersday and hope some change is made.

Where is this at? :O

Hey BobbyStein, this isnt to important or anything, but is there a chance that we will ever be able to get some of the previously obtainable story armor skins only(studded shoulders and the like) in some other way? i noticed they didnt get restored with the story and was utterly disappointed when i ran my engineer through in the hopes of obtaining them recently!

I still want to throw Caithe off a cliff.

Her dialogue that was given did nothing to affect how i felt about her. Of course i havent liked Caithe since i played through on my Sylvari and she stabbed that nightmare court person i said could go. Can i trade her for Traehearne?

I am however glad to see Canach being treated like a “Human” being for once its a great thing!

I would have loved to have some more background dialogue though that you could trigger by talking to them!

If you are America, ill be up for it, just add me in game and poke me about it

And that is why none of my charrs ever have backpacks out..

Coming soon to a gem store near you!

this ?

http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4164/p77sx6z3_jpg.htm

Well I’ll be. If that isn’t shopped it’s relieving news that they indeed are in the game.

Could you disclose the location in which you found them kind sir?

Messaged them in game and never got an answer, hopefully the respond though i want these so bad for my charr characters ;-;

DresdenAllblack.1249:

Just break it down. You have the skin.

Some people, like me, would like to give the revenant that exotic armor, so that is a bad solution.

Thats how it should be, its an achievement armor, all the other achievement stuff is account bound on acquire, this should be no different. Seems to me that it was an oversight more than anything else.

Behellagh.1468:

Latest Guild Chat points out that the mounted Mordrem Flameriders are a singular creature and not a Mordrem riding a mount.

So are all the new “Mounted” enemies, they are just like the skeleton horseman in GW1. They arent riding mounts, they are a single merged being, it just /looks/ like they are on mounts.

The arena ran out of time im guessing? Seems like it to me

Eponet.4829:

It sounds like it resulted in a very satisfying climax for you. Perhaps we should have them back.

No, it was bittersweet, i never wanted/want, to see them again after that mission, the whole story with them was meh(the regular story, far to religious for me), and the least favorite of the GW1 missions arcs for me. Especially if they are going to do the exact same thing as they did in GW1.

Id love to see the mursaat back, and seeing as their mission failed(to keep this closed http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Door_of_Komalie), they might not be evil if they where to come back, as i said earlier, they might lend us their power since we are doing what they couldnt, defeating the Elder dragons.

My question however hasnt been answered. Dont the white mantle control the bandits?

Tao.1234:

I got Knight stat Ascended armor chest from Greater Jungle Wurm 2 days ago.
Today I got Tequatl’s Hoard.

Yesterday I got Zojja’s Weapon Chest from PvP rewards.

I would say that overflow of ascended chests is too high.

Sorry but saying this is like comparing the life or a wealthy man and someone who’s starving, this is only you and nothing else…

Also, making ascended crafting more expensive makes no sense, it was already very costly, now it became just like crafting a legendary weapon especially for light armors, I should have crafted every ascended class way back when it was below 500g for everything…

Hidden point is simple.

I doubt drop rate has changed.

I do PvP reward tracks on 2 accounts and ascended chest/ring drop rate is pretty stable.

Tequatl Hoard for me is like ~1 a month at least.

Regarding making it more expensive – it’s not bad actually.

Finally, Thick Leather Sections are sellable in Trade Broker.

And what I get a feeling for as about Anet’s approach regarding Gold cut direct supply – they pushed players to use Trade Broker more often.

I think it’s a good thing. Supply of certain materials is high, and demands are stable as well.

Right now, doing any event and dropping anything extractable means profit due to sell in Broker.

Dungeon farmers can also use their tokens to purchase exotic stuff from Vendor and either extract and sell mats along with insignia or flush it in Mystic Forge with hope for Precursor.

Considering the tests say otherwise that the drop rate has changed, id say it changed. These are the same tests that ANET listened to /last/ time this happened.

I do like the universal token idea.

It would at least allow new comers to do the easy dungeons(AC, COF) which still have people running them, AC for levels, COF at the moment for the exp farm..

Yet another case of, the only profession that should be listed is the one that can actually make the weapon, not pieces of the weapon.

By the recipes, but make sure they only get used on crafting professions that can craft those specific things. Huntsman makes shortbows, longbows, pistols, rifles. Weaponsmith makes greatswords, swords, axes, Shields, daggers, hammers, and artificer makes staffs, focuses, and scepters.

These recipes should only show the crafting profession that makes said weapons.

Daralii.8940:

The old Great Collapse in Divinity’s Reach was originally supposed to be a Canthan district, but NCSoft told ANet that having a bunch of east Asian architecture next to European architecture was racist and it got cut.

I knew about the great hole, it was completely disappointing to me as someone who loved cantha and ritualists, and the whole idea behind it to not have a Canthan district in Divintys Reach. I was also aware that NCSoft told Anet that, i meant the part about him no longer being part of the company ^^

Sorry for being offtopic though!

Actually my whole point was:

We get it, you dont like Traehearne(you’ve made this very clear in the other thread), You do not however have to repeatedly come into a thread created for the sole purpose of stating a farewell to a character that we enjoyed, and stating what we enjoyed about him. Especially to bash on that character, its rude.

It be like me going into a thread created to express peoples sadness over and to wish Tybalt a farewell , and me bashing on Tybalt(i dont like Tybalt at all, so this is a very valid comparison.), i wouldnt do that because its rude and off topic and contributes nothing but trolling people to get them upset, and the topic locked.

Edit: it also be like going into this thread https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/Eir-s-Story-Spoilers/first#post5729337 And saying “Good, shes dead, i didnt like her and she was useless”. Again, not needed at all and rude.

Daralii.8940:

I’m expecting heavy scrapper nerfs for the sake of PvP without the PvE issues even being glanced at. I’m not excited.

PVE doesnt matter though! Only PVP! I thought that was how this game was set up!

But no really, i hope that isnt the case honestly…despite it already being true for a few of the other elite specs

Sadu.9541:

Crafted a full medium set after HoT release from scratch for roughly 800g including leveling of leatherworks 500. Seems fair to me as there are enough new money sources now with new mats on the market and older materials getting cheaper, especially T6 mats. Plz stop repeatedly asking for things for free. Those 7 pieces were only 100g each which is less than 10h per piece which again should roughly match the time needed in fractals to get a random chest… Stop being lazy or be happy with exotics, its only 5% and if you are not willing to invest in those 5% you may not be willing to wipe the same amount of time for 5% progress in raids!?

Someone didnt read the OP i think, at least it doesnt look like it to me.

Should cost 2 and 2, lower the amount of damask by one, add in 2 elonian leather, i think woulda been much more balanced?

I wish i could give you mine, i got it from the first tengu i killed out there ;-;

Good thing we don’t let singular individuals determine what content other people get to enjoy.

If that was True we would still have Cantha. Good thing that one single racist Korean is gone now though and Cantha has been seeping back into the game.

As for the topic. SAB? Yes please. Love it. It’s awesome. I cherish everything I own from it. Gimme more when you can.

Is that true?

But yes SAB please, let my ICC have some use!!!

Artaz.3819:

1. Mord is dead. You need to accept it; Trahearne and the other party Sylvari confirmed it.

2. If Mord’s power (significant portion) has been absorbed by the egg , what we really need to understand is where did Zhaitan’s power go? That’s the BIG HUGE GAPING plot hole in the several smaller plot lines/questions (who is ‘E"?, how did we make the leap of faith that Dream was the weakness?, what’s the reason for the vision of Zhaitan/Mord orbs colliding in LS@?, etc.) story continuity issues.

Don’t expect a LS3 for quite some time/never again. That ship has sailed.

Actually i think i kinda figured it out earlier, but i dont know if posted in this thread about it

Glints egg is absorbing the death energys from the deaths of all the elder dragons, it just absorbed Zhaitans off screen, and when it gets all six of the energys, a new much more powerful elder dragon will be born. purely speculation of course, but its interesting to think about, if its true!

CorrynnStarr.7942:

“Trahearne: Here, at the end, I am glad that it’s just you and me. We will cleanse Orr together—as we were meant to do.”

but funny how the Player ends up doing this solo… trehearne and his cronies do nothing to help that fight other then hemhaw around and let the player make all the decisions…

I do remember him doing the cleansing ritual while you defend him, if thats nothing then so be it, i call that doing his job.

And after that missions he basically tells you that his mission is done, orr has been cleansed thanks to your help, its up to you to kill Zhaitan.

Also, stay on topic, this is a topic for those of us who wanted to give a send off to Traehearne, not bash him.

Anakita Snakecharm.4360:

Arius.7031:

That death was completely and utterly unnecessary for the story. Completely.

It had a story impact, though. Judging by the community reaction, the death seems to have packed an emotional punch for a lot of people. For many it made the victory bittersweet, which I think was intentional.

And for many it was a “DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD” Kinda moment to…

Dont regret it, but it wasnt worth what i payed, and i wont be pre ordering the next one.

Basically: its up to anet, if they add in enough content in between this expansion and the next one to make up that extra 20$ i feel the expansion wasnt worth.

Ive always had to wonder why those birds scaled with the enemies size, they get a bit obnoxious…

Agreed. They were, at first, really funny when used on Jormag or the Shatterer, that’s for sure. Sadly, the novelty wears off quickly and they become nothing but obstructive annoyance.

Yes they do, and my mother insists on using them all the time on everything when we play together, which isnt often, but urgh

Ive always had to wonder why those birds scaled with the enemies size, they get a bit obnoxious…

Aedelric.1287:

Zabiyaka.2567:

You just dont dispose of character that so many people love.

A good story has emotional impact, a beloved character had to die.

Would Game of Thrones been any good if they never killed off characters people liked?

I dont know, i stopped reading it after they killed off my favorite character in the first book.

Linken.6345:

Uhm yes it is since 2 of the crafts cant create greatswords why should they be able to create the legendary greatsword? Its like going to a chef to fix your car since its a catering truck.

They shouldnt be listed then. I wouldnt even consider going to a chef to fix my car. But if something is listed in a game, then i expect to be able to make the entire recipe on that crafting profession.

ill just say thank you for the thread since ive done the story

o7 Marshal Traehearn, it was a fun three years and i hope we get to give you a proper send off in time.

48 Mastery points.

All but 4 of those are from HOT

Xiahou Mao.9701:

I haven’t tried it, but can you just get an exotic Minstrel’s Insignia and use the Mystic Forge to change an existing Ascended armour piece into the new type? Because that seems like it would be a lot easier.

I made my vipers armor that way, i just made a bunch of the vipers insignia’s then did the transmute, dont see why it wouldnt work for Minstrels

martin.1653:

For 50$ you usually can’t get an AAA game on release. You could get an AA game and chances are it will last you for less than 20 hours and will have zero replay value. Now, tell me, how much hours since release have you got into GW already?

For that 50$ you bought a MMO game of such magnitude and quality that it should be on prepaid model, but it isn’t. You basically have lifetime subscription for this MMO and lifetime support when you need it.

If you think that paying 50$ once every 3 years is a lot, and then you proceed to get countless hours of gameplay and fun out of it then you should get another hobby maybe. Buy a ball and kick it around. i’m sure you will get more bang for the buck. Saying 20-30$ worth of content is pretty insulting. The content you got needed countless hours of human work to be done, and more will be added without any cost. Comparing this to many other games you got much more than 50$ worth of content. Much, much more.

They may have dropped the ball when they did that thing with giving core game for free, but they redeemed themselves. And it was a kitten good redemption if you ask me.
You seriously can’t expect to get expansion completely free after 3 years of playing core game for 50$. Be realistic.

You should be realistic as well. I think you will find that quite a few of the forum posters buy gems whenever they can. I know that ive personally put 10-20$ into the game whenever i can afford to. No they havent redeemed themselves with that either, if they would have added an option for people who already /had/ the base game for 20-30$ they would have redeemed themselves. (Maybe they did, i bought the ultimate one because at the time it was the only one worth anything)

Compared to other games? Im only comparing this expansion to the only GW1 expansion EOTN, we get less content here than we did there. Now of course this game i will play for hundreds of hours, but ya know what, i played GW1 basically non stop for 7 years as i said earlier, it was nice being able to earn just about everything in that game, in game, thousands of hours, over two different accounts. This one? after three years? i havent played anywhere near as much as i played GW1 in three years simply because there isnt alot of stuff you can earn in game(most of the stuff added thats been skins has been added to the gemstore). Jeez ive played world of tanks more than i play this game because of the same reason. Earning gold to convert isnt earning to me so buying things off the gemstore that way is hollow and meaningless.

Sure i /could/ buy them i have gems on the account right now, but id much rather earn it by doing things in game. Thats kinda what i thought the whole thread is about, we would like stuff to earn by doing in game things, that arent farming gold to buy off the gemstore.

Which the expansion added some things, but i was honestly expecting much much more for 50$ and i wont be buying the next expansion ahead of time, or at all because im utterly disappointed in the amount of content or lack there of we got for that price.

martin.1653:

Did you ever do rigging and animation? If you did then you would understand why this happens. Most armost like that wouldn’t be usable in real life with all those acrobatic stuff going on in game. If you do a dodge roll in any kind of heavy armor… actually just doing that dodge roll in itself is impossible.
Animations can’t be changed for every specific piece of armor, so stuff like these must happen (although I didn’t really notice any clipping and stretching, but then again, I didn’t nitpick about it).

I have done 3dmodeling and its not very hard to cut kitten in something for a tail to go through, animating i have no clue about, but kitten for a tail on a beast race isnt to big of a thing to ask for.

Edit: actually thinking about it, i much preferred the GW1 gemstore(cashstore). You bought outfits..face make overs, total makeover kits…and thats it really that i remember, i think you could buy boosters too? but it didnt contain EVERY single new thing added to the game every two weeks.

10/10 do agree. The only one so far that i think that feels like a journey is Bifrost, the first part was fun, gathering all the parts to make the star felt like a proper mini quest. I have yet to even look at step two for now, but ill be on that soon enough..

Malediktus.9250:

What if you try at 2 or 5 am in the night? Less people there = higher chance

Oh right thats reasonable. Ill just call up my duty station and let them know i wont make it in for night watch because i have to stay up till 2 AM to try and get in an item in a video game. Im sure they will understand that its the only time i can get it because this one boss isnt immune to blind like all the others are.

Runiir.6425:

I’ll be honest, it is bloody stupid that he can even be blinded at all.

this is true facts!

Its not new: This has gone on for awhile with different shields over the years, i report each one as i find it ^^

The shatterer one needs to be changed. He /never/ does his crystal attack, or when he does it misses because of blind.

Maybe gonna rain on your parade a little, but.. why? The current ones are made to be weak and really i dont ever see anyone using them aside from in cities, or for RP purposes, which i guess would be okay.

Ideas though?
Charr:
1.) Elite: Banner of the Legion: Summons a banner with your characters legion on it and it grants Might, Swiftness(The skill speed increase) and Fury

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Bleh.

I’ve read books where the author managed to be confused between 2 of the major characters and had the wrong character saying or doing something that another character was supposed to be doing/saying. And that’s their own story they were telling. So, yah. Someone writing text about someone’s else’s story can make mistakes.

Yup!!! Had that happen in a David Eddings book and it surprised me! was a little confusing when i noticed it(i read sooooo fast).

It can happen, and its just a line of text in a file, im sure it would be an easy fix.

martin.1653:

And you CAN earn. Earn that gold, get gems and there’s your skin! There’s absolutely nothing stopping you from doing that. How is buying from gem shop different from buying from Trading Post or in-game NPC trader? Absolutely no difference. Currency is different but that is irrelevant. You use all kinds of currency in different parts of game and you’re not complaining about that, so why complain when items come to gem shop?

There is a difference. Many players dont feel like they’ve earned something that way, i know i dont. Id much prefer doing an achievement and unlocking it that way, like the silver waste armor and the lumi armor, or the bladed armor that i worked my kitten off for, than “oh, just save up gold and buy it.”

See the difference now? we would have liked to have some kind of glider skin in game, that you work towards by doing things in game, that gets awarded when you finish an achievement. Not more gold grinding, Not for free.

Einlanzer.1627:

martin.1653:

And stop saying how low amounts of content we got for money. We got more than any other MMO will ever give. I even got base game and expansion for the price of one. Nobody will ever top that. Nobody.

You’re lucky. Most people paid full price for the original game and another $50 for $20 worth of content. This is entirely about their dubious marketing strategies.

Don’t get me wrong. I like the content we got in HoT, but it wasn’t worth $50 for those who bought the original game. It would be a lot more defensible if people who had already bought the base game were able to upgrade for $25 or $30.

I’m not sure whose decision it was to not have that available, but it was entirely incompetent.

And this

Kraggy.4169:

Djahlat.9610:

I support the idea, however I think it would get more attention/be more relevant in the Ranger sub-forum

Ranger is not the only pet-class in this game.

Eh it kinda is. Its the only class in the game whos mechanics /revolve/ around pets…no no whos mechanic /is/ pets. so technically its the only pet class. other classes can use pets, yes. Minions, Gyros, Summons, Spectral weapons, etc, are things you can choose, not things that are always there, all the time. Not to discredit or take away from other classes of course :P

To the OP, this would be nice to have, as some of the pets attacks are very similarly named to the rangers default attacks, and finding them in a combat log can be quiet a pain! Not sure on other classes that have minions and such as i personally dont use them, but im sure it would help out there too.

I noticed this happening with more than just that event, ive had the meta event tracker vanish on me in HOT more than once now, i just didnt think anything of it, but i know its happened!

Ballrazor.1982:

ViperClaw.1590:

Priorities may differ. And/Or people are finally fed up with DLC-BS.

DLC-BS? Do you realise it’s a F2P game where a cash shop supports the game and future development? If you aren’t happy with having to pay for certain items just don’t friggin buy them. No one is twisting your arm to buy an entirely optional aesthetic.

I’m sure they would have in-game glider skins coming out the wazoo if you were paying a monthly sub or charging you for them alongside a sub, like other popular titles, but you’re not, so suck it up and move on.

Quite honestly, they just released an expansion, im sure they could have held off on releasing new gemstore content for a few weeks, and i dont know maybe added some of the ones that they added to the gemstore to the base game instead. Auric glider should be unlocked from actually playing the game, maybe the reward for gliding through all the arches in Tarir. The Improvised weapons would have made great skins to drop out in the new areas, make it look more like the pact is salvaging the airships out of desperation and using whatever they can get their hands on to survive.

Now, the outfits, and the new shimmering(the butterfly ones) im fine with completely, because they dont fit into the new areas at all in my opinion.
