I was in a Fractals party a few months back. Had a 1k achievement player and a 15k achievement player. The 1k player asked for advice and tricks. I helped him out. He was a great player! The 15k one in the EXACT same party was an elementalist who stayed in fire, never dodged, never healed his conditions and was generally the most useless person I have ever come across.
In fact, every time I see him on the forums I just remember that day.
Because those who don’t have Eternity will benefit from this, right?
Sheep mentality is amusing.
I completely agree with you. Sheep mentality IS amusing. For example: Sheep seem to think it takes ALL of ArenaNet staff to stop what they’re doing to fix one weapon. Always makes me laugh when non-developers talk about developer time.
Dare I ask you to educate yourself on such matters before you speak of them?
Reward for hearts is that you progress your map completion. AND you get karma. I think that’s more than enough.
I did over 1500 hearts btw. (5x map completion)
Playing dungeon and running eotm train gets you karma too.
Far more rewarding than hearts.
Maybe because dungeons and wvw are end game. Eotm doesn’t count though and I have a feeling the rewards for that game mode will get nerfed sooner than later.
This is a problem for an extra reward increase for Hearts because…?
I don’t see how an extra 2-5 silver dramatically end the ‘endgame.’
My response was in regard to your statement that dungeons and eotm had better rewards. There has been nothing but inflation since launch and I don’t care for any more of it tbh.
So your response has nothing to do with discussing on how an extra 2-5 silver to hearts affects anything negatively. Okay. My response is about how Hearts are so pitiful that karma rewards are not enough to keep this pitiful reward.
Legit gameplay should be less rewarding than farming because of inflation. Okay.
I never said gameplay should be less rewarding than farming. I hate farming and I hate zerging. Your reward for hearts is a mixture of cash, karma, experience and map completion. Seriously more cash even if it’s a few silver would have a negative impact especially if hearts where repeatable.
The person I was responding to did say that.
My rewards for dungeon/eotm is a mixture of cash, karma, and experience. Far more than Hearts which are NOT repeatable.
You can’t seriously be comparing organised content to killing a few drake. How much of a stretch are you going to make your comparisons to change something that will never be changed?
I get better rewards from Fractals. I get ascended loot. Better change hearts!
Please share all the spots so we can get rid of them. So GW2 can finally be the game it’s supposed to be.
HAHAHA! You mean they’ll finally get rid of Ascended, remove the grind and make combat challenging instead of just AFK and press 1? If you think THIS will make the game “the way it’s supposed to be”, you’ve never seen the manifesto or even played Guild Wars 1.
Well, I HAVE been playing the GW series since its first beta. If you need knowledge, you know where I am. Because, let’s face it. I DO know more than you.
I like the new skins but will get ZERO because there is no longer any way to make in-game gold to buy them and I REFUSE to spend one more cent on the gem shop.
I’m sure all the people who are willing to spend countless hours farming keys (WHICH IS OK IN ANET’S BOOK BUT NOT CHAMPS OR EVENTS OR DUNGEONS OH NO) will be super rich. Good on ya.
No ways to make gold.
Names ways to make gold.
Champ train was always bad gold. If you thought it was good, you never really knew how to play the game at all. And that’s why I’m glad the champ train’s gone. Now you’ll learn how to play and you’ll be in my world were you know there are COUNTLESS ways to make gold far faster than what you thought was the right way.
Just curious, from all those who are happy the train is gone – what am I SUPPOSED to be doing? I set my goal for a Legendary, and yeah, it’s supposed to be hard to get. But I’m probably going to take a break now, because not only is the end still out of reach, the means to get it are being taken away. I’m tired of feeling more like a beggar than an earner.
If it’s money you’re after, the train was the worst way to go about it. Do newbie areas, get newbie funds.
I’ve got 5 capped toons, bought three more slots, all three are done with newbie areas. Honestly, of the grindy mcgrind grind way to grind, champ farming was least boring.
And how long did that take? I can guarantee making that money faster with other methods.

I’m saving a link to this thread. In a couple of months when the game sinks from #10 to #25 and is selling for 1/4 of the price, I’ll pull it up again. That’s my only interest in GW2 at this point. To see how far it falls.
Did you actually quit because of this? Why not learn how to play the game instead? About time the community stepped up and quit the AFK press 1 and wait.
I quit a month ago over the traits. I have no desire to come back. The reason Anet broke the train was it hurt the gem store. They will break ANYTHING that hurts the gem store. My interest will be watching it fall into the abyss like RIFT.

Because anything that gets announced in advance is under a fine-tooth comb. Forever. “They said this would happen!” “They never delivered on that!” So they’ve learned to be quiet and release what’s ready when it’s ready.
Yeah, the good ones stay at the top while the bad ones fall fast.
How is this suggestion bad? Are you another frustrated PVT hero?
How can I be frustrated if:
1. My alleged stat combination wasn’t touched.
2. The nerf has done nothing to affect any gameplay.
3. I’ve moved on to other games long ago because there is no new content to keep me playing.
If your suggestion had any merit, the thread wouldn’t need you bumping it and defending it. The thread is falling fast because that’s what threads that have no value do. That’s on you.
Maybe you can piggyback one of the bigger threads already on this topic.
True, but why do you think hidden gimmicks or cameos in games are called Easter eggs? It’s not like there’s any harm in asking for something that’ll give some amusement over the weekend, particularly considering the amount of disgust and disappointment players are having with the Feature patch.
Show me a patch that didn’t get met with disgust and disappointment.
It had to be banned to stop the bot doing more damage to your account and the game. Once you get your issue resolved and the account is back in your hands, it will be unbanned.
Enable AoE Loot —> Spam F during fights --> profit
Take it one step further -> bind AoE to a different key (I did to ‘R’) so you can spam it and not pick up banners, talk to NPC’s, etc…
I don’t know how you can miss drops or waste time “searching” for them with AoE looting as an option.
What if you set it on un-used key like you said, and enabled a macro that would press the button every 0.5 sec non-stop wherever u are?
It could be a key that even windows doesn’t have any shortcut for so it won’t interfere.
Anyone tried this? Does it interrupt your skill cast from time to time or interfere with anything ingame-wise?
It’d interfere with your account. You’d get yourself banned.
Do you guys seriously think it works that way? If prepatch a dungeon clear was 20 min zerk 30 min anything, and new patch it’s 23 min zerk and 30 min anything, I will still take 23 min. Hell, now I won’t tolerate ANYTHING but zerk since it might increase the already longer timers.
Personally I’m never joining a non zerk party again and I will ask for gear ping every. single. time.
That kind of thinking is why your only option is a pug. You can’t adapt. It doesn’t fly in a real party.
Go take a look at the requirements to join any Hardcore PvE guild
Protip: It's full zerker, dungeon potions and sigils, and a guild enforced meta spec for whatever class you use, no ranged weapons allowed. All so dungeon can be completed as fast and efficiently as possible. If that's not a "real" enough group than I don't know what is
zerker is only scratching the surface of what the real meta is. Asking for people to at least use the best gear available to them isn’t much when you consider what is asked above.
You’re assuming ANYONE put value on a Fractal backpiece. You did because you wanted the stats and liked the skin. You still have them. Once again, you have lost nothing. You have exactly what you paid for.
Thank you mort. I suppose those who are seemingly getting offended by my reaction has not crafted more than one, let alone maybe even one. T.T
That’s your defence to not knowing if people REALLY have an ascended back piece? Then your starter argument isn’t that strong if you can’t fall back on that alone.

Damage, heavy degeneration, energy denial, disables, knockdowns, enchant removal, various hexes, and counters to defense used to be called pressure builds in GW1
