Guild Wars 2

ViperClaw.1590:

Maybe some new regular skins as loot? Without grind? (We got one set of weapons you can get as loot, yay) Some new emotes? Maybe? No? Glider skins as reward? Oh, day one DLC it is then..

At this point, i’m not even disappointed anymore. It makes me smile like the Joker.

Why so serious?

joking aside, its completely sad that those items werent added into the base game to be obtained as regular drops. the improvised weapons could have served very well as just regular obtainable loot >.>

Celtic Lady.3729:

Apple store? You can get GW2 game skins from Apple?

Also, does it always follow that if China gets something, we automatically do, too?

no its china automatically follo what we get here.but are you serious…..apple store really?

What?

Glory.1493:

i m telling the truth.it has been released in chinese gw2.
next rose gold wing pack can be bought from apple store

You wrote apple store right there.

Anytime you go gliding your mini gets locked!

Vipers is condition duration increase, i thought?

moar food for the gemstore!

last i heard, ,it wasnt

They have said they would like to bring LS1 back in the same format as LS2. I dont know if it will ever happen of course, but they would like to.

Dante.1763:

Green for uncompleted, red for completed, it would stand out at least…

Unless you are red/green color-blind.

The same can be said for blue too. Hence why color blind options need to be a thing…hell they could allow you to set what colors you use even.

Green for uncompleted, red for completed, it would stand out at least…

Sicarius.4639:

They didn’t say where the rewards were, I guess it’s still a reward from the gem store. Seen plenty of new stuff in there, didn’t we just get an expansion?

B-but the gemstore needs feeding!!! D;

Can support, thats why im moving all my stuff over to my revenant.

Agree with the person above me, minus the gold, i have no gold, simply because i cant stand do the same thing over and over to much.

TheDraco.3965:

The design is terrible. Success should never be reliant on faceless strangers that you will never communicate with on any level. Map chat doesn’t cut it.

worked fine for my map, it was touch and go the first time, but after that we settled into a system that worked out well.

the nice thing about the current way at least i think it works this way, is that you can move to different maps, and get different currencies?

Edit: nevermind, just noticed that its different stacks of bags,make these auto open to save clicks please.

Megane.2103:

I thought the magic entering the egg was a sign that the egg was corrupted, and would become mordremoths get out of jail free card, which would be one of the primary reasons he wanted it in the first place.

Prediction: Glints egg is absorbing all the magic from all the deaths of the elder dragons and when it gets all 6 it will hatch.

imsoenthused.1634:

fireflyry.7023:

To reiterate it’s better that than having a full inventory every 2 minutes and using hypotheticals to justify losing the bag mechanic is redundant. We are talking here and now, with crap loads of crap loot.

I don’t disagree with you on that part, but I sure wish magic find did something when I started opening them. It really does feel like they just made an end run around their own mechanics.

Yeaaaa it would be nice if MF affected bags too.

PopeUrban.2578:

Crafting backpacks are fashion bonuses for crafters, “prestige badges”

The point of crafting has never been to make backpacks. Backpacks are simply a bonus for skilling it to show off “yeah I ranked up X craft.” It’s also why they’re all account bound.

That said, if you really want the l400 scribe pack there’s nothing stopping you from attempting to skill it for just that, or hey, maybe it’s one more reason to be your guild’s scribe! Crafting pack skins are just like elite spec skins. They’re just “badges” that aren’t really the main focus of progressing it.

Oh i wish our guild was doing just one scribe, but noooooo they dont think thats a good idea, so they are just letting random people level it up. its not great system to be honest. >.<

PopeUrban.2578:

Nikku.3562:

We’re already talking of just having a single designated guild Scribe who we funnel materials to.

That’s the point of the system. It’s a guild-centric crafting profession meant to be supplied by a guild, as what we make is primarily for the benefit of the entire guild.

It’s expensive for this exact reason. If it were cheaper, there’d be little reason to have a guild-centric profession as everyone in the guild could easily just make their own stuff.

they should make the backpacks tradeable then as well, that way the scribe can make the backpacks for others that are sending mats to the scribe.

I noticed that, but im honestly not minding it so much! that..smoke thing doesnt seem to be doing to much mobs are still hitting the scale even when in the dead center of the field…

Malthurius.6870:

Newer zones have their rewards back loaded from the mobs onto the chests and bags you get for completing the events and the map wide rewards to prevent mob farming; wouldn’t want any events to be farmed for their mobs like Orr events have in the past. Random mobs not connected to events still drop a lot of stuff in my experience.

I don’t know about this “event graying out” thing, it has never happened to me.

that event greying out thing is what happens when you dont take part in an event after a set period of time, had it happen once and i realized why it was doing it!

Some events you can still lose credit for while actively participating, just because the escort NPC has gotten caught up on mobs unrelated to the event.

Happens, for instance, when escorting the scrap cannon to the vinewall – there’s a small horde of mordrem that the event doesn’t consider related, and with only one or two people, they can take long enough to kill that the event decides you’re no longer participating in it.

Didnt know that, thats not any good at all, i will however keep that in mind!

Yes, yes it is!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/Thank-you-all/first#post5714783

It takes a ton of communication between teams at the moment, but it is possible!

And it still happens, that was two days ago!

Shostie.6435:

Fluffball.8307:

I’m getting too much loot. After a meta event it takes me like 10 minutes to open 5 inventories worth of random bags while talking to a merchant. I’m not complaining, but holy cow does a lot of stuff drop.

In the HoT zones, sure. In Dry Top and Silverwastes? No.

this thread is basically for HOT, everyone knows drytop and silverwastes dont drop much of anything.

HOT though…good gawd so much from events its getting annoying to /empty/ my bags

Palleon.1657:

Dante.1763:

For the HOT ones i noticed the progress going into the next tier, i ran out of mastery points after training Nuhoch stealth detection and forgot to change it over, my mistake: it went into the Itzel line for some reason.

Wow, how did you get some many mastery levels?!! I’ve managed 2, and I play most evenings lol.

verdant brink, boosters(Celebration booster, XP booster, Food, utility) Ive done verdant brink since launch, great exp, and lots of events, and most of the monsters out there give exp too(the ones that spawn for the events as well)

For the HOT ones i noticed the progress going into the next tier, i ran out of mastery points after training Nuhoch stealth detection and forgot to change it over, my mistake: it went into the Itzel line for some reason.

Endless Soul.5178:

As bad as it is these days, at least it’s not the World of Tanks forums.

~shudders from the memories~

at least the world of tanks forum was filled with sarcasm, snarky responses, and the moderators allow the players there to call out others on their crap! Only bad thing about the forums was when “baddies” tried to make it seem like the good players cheat.. shudders

To the OP, the forums of any game ive been on are genuinely negative, they are a place for feedback, and if a player finds even one thing wrong they will post endless negative feedback…at least on the forums!

For the love of god no please, i got sick because of that spiral, i had to have someone else do that mission for me ;-;

Moving platforms wouldnt be bad, those would be fun, but pleassseeee nooooo moreeee spinningggggg

I can port people there, if needed, ill get my mesmer up there tonight and figure something out

Then the other two are also still alive, by that logic! Cool!

Archy.1046:

But, but… What about “the new maps are so hard, there are no people there,
nobody is cooperating, people not helping at all and zones will be dead in 1 week” drama? How can all these forum doomcryers be wrong?

I was one of them
I just bought a tag two days ago and it was the first time ive ever commanded…well anything, and honestly, that was the most people ive seen in that zone, working towards the meta event since release of HOT, hopefully there are more maps like that one though

Just a flesh wound.3589:

That sounded like fun. After Halloween is over I’m hitting the new maps hard. I hope that this sort of coordination is still happening. Glad you got your coats. I know some people have been unhappy about how hard it can be to get them.

Those coats are the reason i bought my commander tag xD

I can honestly only see the amount of people coordinating these maps go up, as people figure out how to do them properly, quickly and easily.

We completed the day time events so quickly on the last run through we had nothing to do for 15-20 minutes but wait!

Gave the mentors in our map a chance to run mastery and hero points too!

14 charrs.

1 main
4 RP characters
The rest are play when i want to characters

Darth Sylvanos.2496:

PopeUrban.2578:

This is likely intentional, just like how in the priory storyline they refer to a certain historical figure as “Dagnar Stonepate” (and this isn’t a typo, that line is voiced) rather than his accurate name “Dagnar Stoneplate”

It’s meant to illustrate imperfect knowledge of history.

I’m sorry to tell you that you are wrong. Dagnar Stonepate is the actual name. In fact, his original name was Dagnar Stoneplitter in the game manual.

Yup you are right, heres the link http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Dagnar_Stonepate

Gonna preface this by saying this might not be the proper area for this, but i figure i might as well place it here since it seems relevant?
I just wanted to give a huge huge shout out to the verdant brinks map i was on last night at about 5:30 PST you guys were amazing.
To the 3-4 different commanders who joined me(Commander Ember Howltooth), and the many many different mentor tags(Thank you all for patiently explaining over and over again the way the events worked for those new to the map!) as well as the players who followed, thank you all for listening, and helping each other out to get tier 4 both day and night a multitude of different times without fail! I dont know if we got everyone all three of their coat boxes, but i know we got quite a few filled out.
That entire time was probably the most fun ive had in awhile in the GW2 world, and you all made it happen! <3

Sariel V.7024:

It was on reddit.

Oh, a place i never check at all. This is stuff that should be posted on their forums as well, you know an official game place >.>

Howler fix got announced on reddit, instead of here in the thread for that too.

kittenjust realized i needed this for bifrost this morning, nothing yet T.T

Followedbyrocks.8751:

I’m annoyed they killed him off, I never had much of an issue with Trahearne, and it honestly felt like massive pandering to the “Trahearne is awful” crowd.

But, really, the true tragedy here was Scruffy. RIP in pieces.

YESSS Omg poor scruffy, i /almost/ cried over scruffy, poor golem didnt need that kinda abuse!!

Sariel V.7024:

Colin wanted to revamp it as a scavenger hunt, but didn’t have time, for obvious reasons.

I heard that once before, where was this said at? Havent been keeping up with the blog posts and stuff lately T.T

Yea…kinda looking for a way to acquire alot of this, ive always had problems with Empyreal fragments, and this just didnt help at ll ;-;

Ayrilana.1396:

Without loot? Why are my bags always full after running DS or any large meta event chain? I’m starting to get the feeling that you haven’t actually played in the expansion maps because people do get quite a lot of experience and loot contrary to your belief that it’s the exact opposite.

And thanks for the insult to all players that play and enjoy HoT. Constructive.

This. I had to empty my bags three times in Verdant brinks last night because of how much loot i was getting, not just from the chests, but from the monsters i was killing.

Just from verdant brinks alone(bladed chest piece!!) i havent done much on the other maps, since launch

Im sitting at 4/6 gliding, 3/6 Itzel, 4/5 Exalted, and 4/6 Nuhoch.

Ayrilana.1396:

The exploitable part were the events that spawn infinite mobs which is why they give no loot or XP.

It doesn’t take forever to gain mastery levels in HoT. You’re likely not killing anything and focusing solely on events.

You are right on the mastery levels. I spent 2 hours out in verdant brinks yesterday and was able to fully level out stealth training(from 0%-100%) now i dont have any mastery points to buy it with because ive used so many on other masterys ;-;

Just a note then: The way the OP Is worded, specifically this part "What we suggest is that each outfit would have its own set of dyes. We hope you can make it happen… "

To me: suggested that you wanted each outfit to have a limited amount of dyes available to be applied to it, because you couldnt figure out or it was to hard to figure out which dyes worked on each outfit.

Instead you are asking for outfits to remember which dyes you had on it, and or a dye combo saver, perhaps you should edit your post to make this clear. Because i fully support that.

Thorfinnr Sleggja.1209:

Doggie.3184:

But I haven’t figured out the Endless Bat Brew Recipe yet. I’m sad.

As far as we all know…there isn’t one…it has to drop from ToT bags.

I do believe that was his point!

Celtic Lady.3729:

Dante.1763:

Let no one forgot Orr when the game first released <3

And yet they made it easier.

My gosh.

The elitists must have been foaming at the mouth and threatening legal action.

I know right? its almost as if the core audience of this game doesnt want things to be completely insane!

i personally love HOT as it is now(Make the hero points soloable, but leave everything else alone) Its not to hard, but you have to be aware of your surroundings(i run a full sinister build).

Talbott.2914:

I disagree with Chillbox 100%. If you cannot figure out how to dye armour then you should just not bother.

100% agree here. I just take screenshots of the dyes that work on an outfit and then i use those later.

Let no one forgot Orr when the game first released <3

LS1, LS2, and HOT are all the story of mordremoth, LS1 however cant be played right now, so it seems shorter than it is, if we could play LS1, wed have a fair bit more to do before fighting mordremoth.

To me it was the perfect length, maybe to long, im hoping we dont have to wait 3 years for the next expansion pack! xD

Fenom.9457:

True, although they never said dragons, the orbs could actually be a vision of anything (on the topic of gods, perhaps the 6 returning or the orb going in, one dying, forcing the return of the others). I agree dragons is most likely though

The orbs in the visions represent the six elder dragons.

“A vision induced by Omadd’s Machine, which was meant to open the mind to the Eternal Alchemy, showed The All with six colored orbs that represented the Elder Dragons. In the vision, Zhaitan’s orb crashed into Tyria’s central orb, eclipsing the entire vision; this vision took place two years after Zhaitan’s death.

The Durmand Priory have a depiction of The All on the ceiling of the Special Collections, which places the first letter of the Elder Dragons’ name to each of the six spheres. "

I could swear that chills and cripples and the like went through invulns? the last time i played my guardian with the invuln meditation in PVE it was happening?

Except, the current emperor(or was it the one before, i forget) of cantha is so xenophobic that he forced the Tengu to leave the country, so maybe he wouldnt trade anywho.

Plus, even with the death of Zhaitan id imagine the fleet that blocked off the trade routes is still out there and has yet to be eliminated!

Rauderi.8706:

Dungeons don’t really need a cash buff. But they do need more incentive to run. Right now, the token grind is still unforgivable, but they really should raise the token rewards as exchange for reducing gold.

That would be the best way, it would for sure allow people to do dungeons(who have started playing) easier.
