Guild Wars 2

I haven’t seen Solus the Outlier’s event pop all week. Has this event been removed, is it bugged, does it need a special condition to begin??? I’m at a loss why it’s not active.

Can we get the Unlimited Gathering Tools as part of the Wardrobe system? Having them as account unlocks would be quite a quality of life improvement for me. It certainly should be an improvement for everyone that plays with more than one character.

Or, previous items that were turned into less than desirable tonics coming back as armor skins???? Khaki Cargo pants, the Ornate shirt, and the hoodie? We haven’t forgotten about these items from the mix and match threads.

Also, the T-shirt for those of us whom bought the game after the launch.

Tiger! I really like running around as one, whenever that bleeping pita of an expensive tonic gives it to me. Though Feline race could be cool.

I do not wish to see the Home Instance removed. I’m much rather see it expanded and include more things. For the Home Portal Stone, if it worked party wide, I believe it would encourage Home Instance use more. I know I would buy one if this function was added to it.

Its not dead at all.

What time zone are you playing in?

I just want to point out to the developers that it’s not nice to close a map people are working hard to level up. Make the recipes available in the Silver Waste too please? Dry Top is dead and even with taxiing players in the zone wants to close. The next one was even worse.

My advice to the Dev’s would be to rent/create a centralized server cluster and merge EU and NA. Have it be an alliance system where Alliances have meaning. Make the meaning also be tactical in the nature of game play. From large scale siege warfare maps to small scale jungle warfare within the same match. I don’t care if they repurpose PvE maps for this even. Something new is better than to continue with the status quo.

uberkingkong.8041:

Open hundreds of chests on my level 5 toon. The loot was able to contain precursors, ascended, etc. But we all know, opening on a lvl 5 toon yields level 5 results.

You should have received level 14 greens mostly.

cafard.8953:

Spent a few thousand Silk (and mithril, and other T4 stuff) on the Bazaar lootboxes that finally provided a sink for the stocks i had accumulated since launch.

Then they patched in ascended gear and Damask.

Yeah, I think we all fell for this too. We can fault ourselves for things we didn’t know.

I posted this in reply to another thread, but thought it belonged here too : -

When I first started playing the game as a Sylvari over 2 years ago, I really wanted to get to this mystical place “Lion’s Arch” that I’d heard about. I spent ages fighting my way north over a few days, levelling up, until I finally got there. Then realised all I had to do was go to the mists with a click of the mouse and run through the Asura gate. It was comical.. A real “duh” moment. I’m kinda glad I felt the adventure of trying to find it though.

LoL I did the something similar. A friend a asked me to buy the game at launch. I never played during beta or any other MMo for that matter. So I started out as a Norn and my friend said in map chat to meet her in Lions Arch. I ran all the way from Hoelbrak thru Wayfarer, Snowden, Lornar’s, and into LA. It took a couple of day’s to find my way there on an uplevel. Goodtimes

The only way to counter this behaviour is by topguilds transferring to lower tier servers

Nope… still not enough players to fill 108 maps in EU and 96 in NA. There’s just not enough players. The problem is that the player population has diminished greatly. The oversight is that players have 2 or more accounts now and it appears that there should be enough players available. But, you can only drive one account in PvP fight at a time. Thus, why WvW has low numbers compared to the volume of accounts. I highly doubt the Dev’s have metrics to factor this in.

For WvW, I wouldn’t mind an alliance system at all. This way everyone can stay on the World they are on but, chose what Alliance to play for that day or week. Even have it cross EU and NA. Right now they probably could have just one cluster centrally located to cover the entire population of WvW.

Olvendred.3027:

If EotM were really the most popular content in GW2 (which is something only Anet knows), then I’m sure they’ve already thought about making more content like it.

Which is more than likely why “The SilverWastes” is EotM like in it’s design.

#BurntheGrove2014

I think the problem is most mobs are spawning as level 83-84. Those scaled up are hitting a bit too hard. Just before the patch, a champ poison whipped me for 16k. The only way I could have avoided all the red would have been to double dodge. Which I didn’t have enough endurance to do. So, I was insta-dead instead. Really wasn’t a fun or interesting fight that way.

Those tendril’s with the pulls and stuns was just trolly of the dev’s. Seriously, they were trolly and you know it

Good luck in EU. Let’s us know how it is over on that side of the game. You know where you are welcome if you come back over to NA.

Instead of anyone complaining, ask yourselves what are you doing to help prevent players from dieing? Maybe the design requires there to be a couple of combat medic’s in the hole? Maybe someone should bring in a Hammer Guardian setup to tank and heal? Players are so Zerker happy and think active defense can and should save them of everything. If the Dev’s design it right, these bosses should wipe everyone without at least some sustain in the group compliment.

Here’s an example, remember the Tower of Nightmares? Players were having a hard time and I chose to be proactive by pinning up and running groups thru that tower for hours on end that first week. Every pass was pretty easy because I set my Warrior up for combat medic duties with a HamBow / Banner Regen. That and dropping trays of food in the staging area helped insured smooth runs.

Asking the Dev’s to remove players from “your” area isn’t helpful. BE helpful by helping other players succeed. Then you’ll succeed in that content too.

Ascended is still worth it. For nothing else than being account bound for those of us that have many alts. For stat capping, that’s nothing new but, at least it’s good info to share now and then for new players.

Faoiltiarna.4271:

This thread stinks of socialism….

That is absurd! This thread is the exact opposite of it. This thread is asking for individuals to get more for playing solo than for playing in groups. See how being “social” is to be punished then?

To the OP, still no.

Aylpse.6280:

You cant when you dont see it coming. Im on a Mesmer so I have zero condi cleanse and cant do crap about it.

Mesmer has not what? lol

Power creep and burst capacity could be lowered a bit yes.

Tanought.5428:

ULTIMATE CHEESE BUILD.

Puhleez, D/D is still cheesier. Celestial Engi is Cheesier. PU Mesmer is cheesier. Don’t even get me started with Ele’s.

Kite.2510:

To kill zergs and trains

So basically, this has nothing to do with loot and everything to do with you being against large organized groups of players.

You have to love that on the matter of Mounts, everyone feels like they are an expert. By expressing their opinions as facts. The only thing we could know for certain is, is that there are in fact players whom want them and some whom do not.

There are existing vehicles and devices in game. All of which can be described as mounts. So we have them already, can we get more of them is the question to ask.

Why does this sound more like the OP is asking the Dev’s to only drop Pre’s on the content he likes to do?

I"m not for a subscription. Though wealthy (in game) players should not rely on the gold to gem conversion for gem store items. They should be supporting the game and not leeching so much. We all know Anet is a business and that the game requires money to run on. Give a little if you play the game so much.

It’s really late to be replying to this but, it does work. You just have to kill all of them. Reflect works really well on those first group since they are made up of a lot of Grenaders. I actually just did this one a couple of days ago on my Condi thief. A kittenallenging but, got it.

Maybe it’s just me but, should we retain our “completed” status if we quit a previous completed Living Story episode? I mean we’re encouraged to reopen the episodes for the achievements but, losing the progress unless we do every little step appears off.

Can we get this fixed where we retain our completed status please?
TY

There was no toxicity to be found while Amber farming. It’s very simple, each map has many instances of it running at once. Go to the one doing what you want to do. Leave the other instances alone!!!!!! These “anti” players are more toxic than anything else.

The only problem I found was that as players finished the achievements, the available “breach” instances became few to none at all. That is not a bad thing as it’s simply a sign of what the majority wants to do, which was farming.

A Norn Warrior in Sentinel’s with Bear form is, as far as I know, the highest HP in game. My last numbers were a bit <cough> “out” of the ordinary. IT could have been better as I was in PTV gear and not Sentinel’s. It’s just WAY too expensive to buy them for this one time fun. Though this Sky Diving challenge was fun to do!

I think I won now That’s not even a maxed out build either.
Go Norn or just stay home.

I already hit the gold wall on this project I figured out what to do it’s just WAY too expensive.

btw. I got mine up to 5.1m in Rata Sum

Ok, got it to 1,677,089 in Rata Sum.

how in the heck is someone getting 14 million???? My highest on a lvl 800 is 1.3million.

This is my second night roaming around Silverwastes & people are doing the events, defending, running with pack bulls. This is happening at all forts. Exactly the same as last night. Very few chests have been unearthed.

There are farm maps, there are normal maps, and there are organized maps. There are plenty of all three. Just use lfg to get into the type of map you want.

^ THIS!… It wasn’t a bug. It was convenient to go there when you had shovels because there were 5-10 nodes you could use it on and share the chests with friends. People whine about anything these days. There are so many ‘instances’ that players looking for achievements could have joined but no… have to complain about people ‘farming’..

gg nerf.

Actually, I was very like minded about the separate instances. I spent 8-10 hrs yellow tagged and farming on a “Got Shovel?” layer yesterday alone. Though just the past couple of hours I was trying to get a breach layer and couldn’t find one. Even using the LFG tool, every time someone joined my party it was taken over for farming layers. If we players can’t intelligently agree upon and donate some time toward keeping one organized layer for running Breaches and Legendary’s, then it’s our own fault for it getting nerfed.

Always hoped for a Z axis slider for our camera’s view.

As someone with over 20 characters over a few accounts, I find uses for them all. You live and learn certainly applies to the game. You’ll find yourself creating more characters when you are ready.

For some things, the tags should stay away from the “pre” because it will scale it up. Keeping a tag at a rallying point IS the better place for the pin to be. Just my 2 cents…

tigirius.9014:

I would certainly love for my gathering tools

They are account bound already.

I agree as characters should be more disposable. Give players more incentive to re-roll characters. It’ll spice up game play by giving players something to do.

I just want burning on my condi thief.

I’m extremely skeptical about these numbers being tossed around. It’s not that lucrative if you actually defend and escort. Sure, like LA living story events and Boss Blitz there are those leeching off the work of others. Though even they are not getting the return some have claimed.

Morsus.5106:

Maybe as an option, but no one should be forced to “upgrade”.

Ok, how about if it was added to game as an additional skin that unlocks if you unlock the first one? This way we all, both existing and future purchasers, get the choice?

For the link, like that with a clean shiny metal blade. Not the tarnished to near corroded looking it has now. I thought the black was simply reflections in the TP preview when purchasing.

The returns are that great…..

I have to say, moving this item’s sounds to something that can be user adjustable would be a good idea. After a couple of hours of being on the receiving end of this, it does begin to grade on me. Waiting to encounter a troll group of players with this equipped.

I’ve always had a level of Buyer’s Remorse when it comes to Belinda’s Greatsword. It’s such a dark and dull blade when in use. Now with the introduction of the new story arc, I was wondering if we can get this upgraded/updated? Would anyone else like to see this item updated?

The secret to Precursors…. http://seemslegit.dk/precursors/

:) And no, I never received a Pre from any source yet. That’s after thousands of hours and hundred’s of gold down the toilet.

I’m ok with it not having additional WP’s for now. It’s supposed to be the new front line. Though, we should be building out further eventually. Otherwise, we’re not accomplishing much.

The mechanic of slow travel speed without mounts or way points encourages players to skip, avoid, and not engage content. Because if you engage a fight, there’s a greater chance of having to restart at the beginning again. Engaging content should be encouraged, which is why we have so many way points.

I really liked “The Gathering of the Pact”. That felt epic and wish I could here more of it on map. I hit the VP in Camp Resolve just to hear a bit of it

Sure, because pooling resources into building when there’s a Dragon on the lose still tearing crud up??? ReCharrican’s, always putting what they want before the greater good. #smh
