Yes. Did it yesterday and I can “happily” say I got 4 blues and a green…

YAAAAYYY……………………………………………………………………………………………………..

1. Not related to current lore.
2. Why base content off some random myth.
3. How do you know you’ll survive?

t-shirts, baseball caps, chainsaws and who knows what else are? This is all I think of when I see comments like yours

OMG you forgot ‘bumber stickers’ – “I’m a survivor. I survived things!”

Higher level zones tend to give you generally (minium) blue items. These can be sold to the merchant between ~60-90 copper. In an hour or so you should be able to get at least 1G.

The tricks are:

- knowing a good “circular” path through the zone
- aggroing several mobs at the same time
- doing it with other players

Just yesterday I was there for the event. I contributed. I got a gold medal….and with that 4 blues and a green…

The loot should be scaled to the event and level of it. Seriously…

I got a friggin yellow hammer of a mob and crappy items from the chest.

Sighhhhhhh…

When you double click on a sigil/rune, watch for your items turning blue – you can apply the sigil/rune to those. If they turn red it means you cant.

Welcome to all newcomers!

Anyone managed to finish the Wintersday Puzzle in LA?

LOL I had it for over a month now and only reaslied what to do with it. I thought it was another one of those event items.

LOL someone just offered maximum 800G for it.

Lets just wit and see if more lengedaries turn up on the TP…

“Finally got myself another 8G for another bank slot expansion (600gems)”

“OMG the gem price went up…..again…….”

FINISHED!!!

460MB patch for me.

See you guys in game

DOWNLOADING NOW!

WHOOO HOOO!!

CHEERS!!!

This is all Tixx’s fault lol.

Well that is one thing Anet did not anticipate….lack of bandwidth lol.

sorry double will double post…

Its ok now..it seems that there is not enough bandwidth to give the patch to everyone at the same time lol…

Yes me toooooooooooooo!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

In my case it was quite the opposite. Got the matrix key very early on in that zone. RNG strikes again!

As a Asuran lab technician would say.

“Hmmmmm, interesting.”

There are many players who are confound to one dungeon (FotM) because of the new content – this was pointed out by ANet to be a “bad decision”.

However, it seems to me that many people are complaining about Ascended gear, YET, most do FotM to get it.

Why do something you hate? No one is forcing you to do it…

This is such an oxymoron.

Dear GW2 players and ArenaNet,

In my point of view this system is not functioning as it was intended to. There are several threads and multitude of players discussing the issues concerning the RNG (Random Number Generator) placed upon loot rarity obtained from killing mobs within this game.

The Risk and Reward system, on the other hand, is simple to comprehend; i.e. the higher the risk, the higher the reward should be. However, when this is coupled with the RNG vs. Loot, it falls apart as observed by the countless disappointed players obtaining lower than anticipated loot based on the risk they took upon themselves.

Defeating harder mobs and/or at higher levels should increase the RNG values towards higher rarity items. Therefore, the RNG parameter should NOT be the same through the entire game. This is an assumption; however, I have not come across any information stating otherwise, but only read countless threads with players frustrated and disappointed.

I understand that the Trading Post plays an integral part within this game and, perhaps, why the RNG values need to disfavour the player from obtaining items of rare/exotic level. However, in my honest opinion, this is too harsh. Furthermore, it would seem that there is too much emphasis put towards using the TP. Any imbalance found results in players being punished via the RNG.

Here are some examples I have come across during my gameplay which I would consider unbalanced:

i) Killing a champion/Veteran yielded no reward some times.
ii) Chests near high-end Dynamic Event mob(s) yielded blue most of the time and sometimes green. Not even once have I gotten a yellow in over 200 hours of gameplay, let alone an orange rarity item. Only time I have gotten them was by completing a zone or a jumping puzzle.
iii) Spending several hours killing mobs across GW2 land resulted in NO items above green!
iv) Crafting items obtained from loot are biased. I would tend to obtain three times the leather than cloth; regardless of the tier. Not to mention that other ones are as rare to obtain.

Some adjustments I would like to eventually see with regards to this debacle are:

i) Killing any mob should always result in an item.
ii) Veteran/Champions based on their level should yield items appropriately. The higher the level, the higher the minimum rarity item. A level 80 veteran should not give you a white or nothing!
iii) Killing meta-event boss should yield one green and either yellow or exotic item – or some appropriate combination. These events don’t occur often; and several are bugged to begin with. Players knowing that the reward will be of high value will want to part-take in the event.
iv) Increase the crafting material loot output. There is no need to put emphasis on people buying these on the TP to save time; unless this is what ArenaNet intended to do. If that is the case – shame on you.
v) The more people feel that the rewards can be acquired from playing the game, the less time they will spend farming/grinding and using the TP instead. At the current state there is too much emphasis put towards gaining gold and using the TP to get even general items. Few players are using this to their advantage (mainly botters), which causes inflation to items and frustrating many players. This will end up crashing the market and result in the death of this game. ArenaNet (you) are trying to balance this, however, this situation is like a seesaw in constant motion; at some point it will topple over one or the other side.

The RNG, in my opinion, needs serious rebalancing. Some items are too rare. As an example: the black lion chest and its key. The ratio between these two is ridiculous.

At this point I would like the players to provide their feedback based on their game experience and the loot outcome they received. I am certain that in the most part they were displeased.

Please ArenaNet, take this into serious consideration and provide feedback to us, loyal GW2 fans/players. This is not a small bug, but a serious issue that can eventually result in the demise of this game.

Kind Regards,

FPV, IMO, does not suit this kind of game. One needs to see further ahead to scout the area.

“Oh, a deer? I can kill that.”

“What the kitten?”

“Medic…Help!”

It seems that the deer are on steroids. Anything that attacks them they can fight back. In one hour I saw, perhaps, 3-4 instances of deer attacking mobs!

I totally agree. The enemy behaviour is more erratic which makes map completion undoable in the most part.

Sooooo…when is AUS/NZ getting their server?

Seriously I hate (nearly always) being a second class gamer citizen.

The AUS gaming communty is a strong one and we deserve to have our own server!

They’d have to add 3 servers for you wouldn’t they? Would be odd if they had an uneven amount of servers for WvW. It would be a 1v1 WvW because they don’t have a third server for the match.

Three it is then.

One each in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

AUS gamers are still treated as second class gamers and it kittens me up…

The POI consist of both those orange boxes on the map AND area names. Perhaps, you are missing area names. Check this out – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/User_talk:Bluestone/Explorer

If, however, all of the names on your map appear in that list, then most likely you need to revisit WvW.

Running through Orr with speed buff…

Me: “Mwahahahahahah , you can’t catch me…”

Risen: “Time to whip out ma CC-chain on dis fool”

Me: “Kitten off would ya?”

I hope crystal desert will open up as an explorable zone

I’m an explorer. I explore things!

Sooooo…when is AUS/NZ getting their server?

A level2 character needs to buy the top end pick – which costs several silver. Sif they will spend all of their money on one pick.

Furthermore based on this – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gathering_tool

The orichalcum pick requires level 60+, so even though it scales a character to level 80 in that zone, there are nodes in other zones. This particular node is just one.

Now to top it off…

Low level characters have low level armor/weapons/etc. Perhaps one or two may get lucky to get that node, however they still need that particular axe to mine it and based on their low level equipment they would rather omit that area where the champ guards the orchi node.

So really…..
The chances of low level players getting rich of orchi nodes is slim to none.

I just imagined something…

Santa zerg rush!!!

Now that would be interesting to see

Realisticly speaking, adding another profession would be a mash-up between others – again. I think it was already hard to have that many professions without them overlaping each other to a high degree.

A new profession needs purpose to be in the GW2 world. Sure some of the suggestions are plausable and interesting but they need to have a solid storyline. My above suggestion took into account the Ascalonian ghosts and/or The Risen.

Perhaps, the next addition can come from the Crystal Desert area – which might be added in the future.

^^^ Yes, kind of defeats the purpose of having different terrain levels in the first place, doesn’t it?

Awesome. Thank You.

LET THE BEAST OUT!!!

I don’t think he will go away. By using the mystic forge you get ’Captain’s Council Commendations ’. This is traded for items as per based from your link (Lionguard Lyns).

What is interesting, however, the gathering tools have 250 uses! Regardless of the quality – that is much higher than normal.

Having them AFTER completion is ok from my POV. I support this.

As pointed out before, armor should NOT get damaged in WvW and PvP. These gameplay styles are based on skill and team work. The only penalty for failing is death – which you respawn. Putting emphasis on having to repair after death deters from the core gameplay mechanics that WvW and PvP is.

U GOTTA DO DA MAF!

:)

Baaahahahaha good one. Merry Xmas 2 U 2!

But whats with the skull? Is that santas secret stash of liquid goodness?

5: Over 9000 things are bugged…

What? ITS’ OVER 9000!!!???

I think there is enough depth to make GW2 into a movie. The final boss gameplay may be bad but if Michael Bay were to make it…

The addition of the next class should allow the character to wield all weapons, but here is the catch – only way to unlock it is if you level all the others to lv80.

As for what this character might be? A cross bread race of abominations removed from tyria long ago for following a corrupted lord of some kind.

Maybe a cross between an Ascalonian Ghost and The Risen?

I reckon the harathi overlord should have two deers at his side – just for the kicks…

Tixx is like one of those puppets from that movie franchise Puppet Master – cute but deadly.

Just wait till you get two or more warriors trying to outdo each others “For Great Justice!”…its like an endless echo lol.

Honestly it doesn’t bother me.

May I suggest a tip to the entrants?

Choreography

You need to make the video flow with the music and dancing.

- Emphasize the song by having the right backdrop.
- When switching between tunes change the camera angle/direction.
- I know the toons have limites dance moves, however, use transitions, camera angles, more toons, or toon transition to make it appear as if the toon is danicng something else.

There really are lots of tips I can give, however, sometimes keeping an idea simple makes it more interesting than throwing 50 ideas into the pot.

Overall I like the vids and will give my 2c the day before the closure of this contest.

Welcome young padawan!

Enjoy the game and have fun – it’s why you bought it.

Yes, there are negative aspects to this game, however, overall I’m sure you will have fun.

Stop trying to scare thig person away from the forums. If it weren’t for them people would not be able to comunicate with the devs and overall discuss issue/concerns and just overall say thank you.

Um no. There already are many methods to find their whereabouts. The rest one should be able to do.

JP’s allow players to engage in platform style gameplay. Although, it’s not for everyone.

Those who don’t enjoy them or find them hard may tend to get dissapointed with the loot more often.

This will be interesting.

Can’t wait to try this event out.
