Tamaki Revolution.3548:

My main is still waiting for his speedo.

my warrior too!
i want speedo briefs!

hmmm looking forward to reading the patch notes today!

MrRuin.9740:

If you don’t like the leaderboards…..don’t friggin look at them. Removing them is stupid.

The page does not pop up in your face. It isn’t part of your UI. It’s not a page you have to see to get to another page. You have to voluntarily go to that page to see it or even know its there. So don’t like it? Stop going to the page to look at it.

the amount of complaints related to it keeps popping up everywhere in the forums.

while they have their rights to complain, i have my rights to ask for a removal of the source of their complain.

hopefully we see the patch notes tomorrow!

this time, could we really have the patch notes like, 1 or 2 days in advance, please? XD

its 22 july 2013 here (GMT+8:00) by the way.

cheers and thanks!

Dendail.4896:

What is everyone’s opinion of the downed state in this game?

i think it is working as intended, and that everyone should accept it as it is.

My main two arguments is I feel it is very annoying chasing around the downed players that you have already ""beaten"" just to finish them off.

down but certainly not defeated, yet. please finish what you started.
if you cannot finish what you started, perhaps it is better that you do not start at all?

hmmm wookay here’s my contribution for today:

Hammer Time!
X successful Skyhammer Cannon hits.

Can’t Touch This!
Did not take any damage X times while blasted by the Skyhammer Cannon.

Jackhammer
Re-calibrate the Skyhammer Cannon X times while someone is operating it.

i thought this is a thanks giving thread, not a battle field. O_O

Your thread was bound to have someone come in and start QQ-ing. Just accept it since a lot of threads on the forum is full of it (the QQ)

hmmm true.

well, better have some QQ than totally ignored right?

it is very simple actually.

those who adapt will thrive.
while those who refuse to adapt will continue whine and complain.

i thought this is a thanks giving thread, not a battle field. O_O

Calae.1738:

There is little reason or incentive to improve your play when someone else can just run up to you and fix your mistakes._*

team work. strength in numbers. covering each other.

there is no glory in solo death.

Erebos.6741:

How do I get you to see to reason?

it is the other way round.

I’m happy to argue this case. Please present an argument or counter to my premise.

there is no reason to in the first place. there is no need to fix what is not broken.

I am hugely competitive and play to have fun. Down-state prevents this for me; it’s not my intention

down state is part of the game and if you cannot handle it. perhaps it is not meant to be. maybe you need accept that fact.

some people simply complain too much!

we must let anet know that we are appreciative of the rewards!

Erebos.6741:

How would it affect your enjoyment of GW2 PvP if they quadrupled the base HP of all professions?

if overall damage of all professions is quadrupled as well then i dun see any problem.

anyway, downed stated, reviving from downed, reviving from defeated, stomping, etc are all important features of this game.

those people who keep on asking for their removal, should stop.
just play the game the way it is meant to be played.

Umut.5471:

actually it’s easier to collect them from wvw. if you follow a good commander you get about 300 a day with ease.

it depends on the player’s playing habits actually.

for players who enjoy WvW zerg-mishes then badges come easily for them by following a good commander.

for players who enjoy collecting achievement points casually, these badges of honor from achievement chests are a good bonus.

thanks for the badges of honor from the achievement points rewards chest!

looking forward to more of them!

the amount of complaints in this forum is too kitten high!

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

i read legendary gear.

amulet, accessories, rings for me.

I don’t think this will ever happen. Amulets etc. don’t change your appearance.
A legendary armor box or crafting a legendary armor one by one would be kinda neat.
(psssh A.Net don’t waste your time on designing new armors just use the Fissure of Woe Skins from GW1)

oh, it will happen.

the convenience of changing stats for back item, amulets, accessories, rings is legendary worthy.

i read legendary gear.

that translate into legendary armor, back item, amulet, accessories, rings for me.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

hmmmm i’m still stuck at 1k achievement points chest because i dunno what zenith skin to choose.

waiting for a better skins unlock system.

Isn’t there a limit to how many chests you can have waiting to be opened before they get deleted??

what? nuuuuuuuuu.

deng, i better open those boxes now! T_T

I highly doubt it. Otherwise anyone who took a bit of a break during this time would be SOL.

I think you can only “claim” any achievement chest once per day. Which means you’re only awarded one chest. Which means that if you don’t ever take your chest for the day, you don’t get awarded your next one.

hmmm ya i think this is the case. i only saw one box. the 1k achievement box. nothing else.

so i will not lose my future boxes oh?

well i also did read that the ascended armor and weapons are also available as rare drops in the world.

Jabberwock.9014:

I hope to god there are no skins associated with them. I don’t want to have to choose between prestige and a look I actually like. If they do give them new skins they better implement a kittening skin locker.

hmm ur words inspired to start a new survey.

Serelisk.6573:

yeah, haha, I saw it in your sig. I responded in an edit, but it looks like at least they’ve acknowledged and plan to put in a grouping/lobby system for activities.

It still won’t fix the issue of farmers, though, unfortunately.

hmm looking on the bright side, at least we can play with friends if they made game rooms browsers or allow us to make private temporary rooms (a dungeon instance that accommodates more people) to play with friends.

them farmers can farm together with their friends too.

hmmmm i’m still stuck at 1k achievement points chest because i dunno what zenith skin to choose.

Serelisk.6573:

I never saw that post o_o I definitely want to play mini games with friends! ><

its not too late! gather your friends and make some noise in the same thread.
perhaps they will do something about it.

oh this thread by the way:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/survey-wanna-play-minigames-with-friends/2211329

i thought no one cared when i asked if people want to play mini games together with friends?

for me,

time based grind is still acceptable (i.e. laurels, confirmed daily new crafting materials)
RNG based grind not really acceptable since it translate into insanely long time based grind.

i’m happy because what i have been asking for (ability for gear to change stats) since 2006 is now possible.

Fossilized Amber.1352:

Very excited to hear we can change the stats on this gear.

stats changing will only be available for legendary weapons at the moment though.

Mkalafut.1273:

Armor and other weapons will still need to be transmuted as normal.

yes, at the moment.

though i am confident that, in the future, there will be legendary armor, trinkets that will allow us to change stats.

Dingle.2743:

“any stat combo available” almost certainly refers to “stat combos that already exist on gear”

yes, i realized that it is a different matter, but at least it will be possible to change the stats (even though it is still limited to existing stats combinations) of gear (even though it is limited to legendary gear) now.

dear anet team,

thanks for listening!

i have been asking for this (ability for gear to change stats) since 2006 and now in 2013, it is finally possible!

i.e.

In addition, we’ll also improve the functionality of legendaries, allowing you to set their stats when out of combat to any stat combo available, so you don’t need to transmute stat changes for legendaries. Legendary gear will remain with the same tier of stats as ascended gear and will not be made more powerful than other gear, it will simply be slightly more convenient since it will no longer need transmutations to change stats.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/

and with this,

On top of this, you’ll also see new legendary weapons and new types of legendary gear in 2013.

i am almost certain that there will be new legendary armor, back item, amulet, accessories, rings coming soon.

at least changing stats of gear is possible now, and no longer a dream!

thanks again!

SlothBear.9846:

The only thing bugged about this (and the other dungeon runes) is that when you make one in the mystic forge it’s still soulbound. Booooo!

aye, its the same when we get karma items from the mystic forge.
nowdays i only visit the mystic forge when its on daily.

Redfeather.6401:

It’s funny because I swear there is a rune or sigil with +chill duration that doesn’t work.
It’s like the two items had variables that were mixed up by accident.

what do you mean by it does not work? O_O

it does not increase chill duration?

i have been asking for this since 2006.
it was finally realized in 2013.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/

In addition, we’ll also improve the functionality of legendaries, allowing you to set their stats when out of combat to any stat combo available, so you don’t need to transmute stat changes for legendaries. Legendary gear will remain with the same tier of stats as ascended gear and will not be made more powerful than other gear, it will simply be slightly more convenient since it will no longer need transmutations to change stats.

yes! freedom of stats allocation!

thanks for listening!

we may have some hope after all.

Paul Belz.7351:

Thanks for this post. There have been many people who have requested something like this, and I don’t want you guys to think we are not listening. We have been, and currently are, exploring what would need to happen in order to make this a possibility (it is more complicated than you would think), and while I cannot guarantee that it will happen or when, we definitely understand the draw of playing activities with your friends are not dismissing this as something that will never happen.

at least we can craft it.

lets hope that the grind is very reasonable and not outrageous.

morrolan.9608:

Crafters will sell them on the TP BUT given the effort in making them and the gating the cost will probably be rather high.

but i read that all ascended gear are account bound.

Isn’t it only some of the mats?

there u go:
“These weapons and armor will also be able to be found as rare drops from locations in the world. Ascended weapons and armor will remain account-bound like other ascended gear.”

why no quotes?
or … not yet?

i like the quotes.
fresh addition.

thanks!

by the way, when are the quotes added?

i.e.

Daily Laurel Vendor
I’m just looking, thanks.

whee topics merged.

my topic now haz more posts and page views!

hmmm its not fine.

x2 minor +5% boon duration
x2 major +10% boon duration
x2 superior +20% chill?

it is obviously wrong

Rhaps.8540:

No.

Mainly because I don’t care about the leaderboards, so they never really enter my mind whilst playing. I’ve not even looked at them once and only know of their existance through mentions on the forums.

I dont know why so many people get upset about them one way or the other. Topping an mmo leaderboard in any category is the anithesis of an achievement unless you view playing mmos 24/7 as a worthy thing to strive for. /shrug

why not remove them if you do not care about them?

Do you think Superior Rune of Sanctuary Rune is bugged?

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rune_of_Sanctuary
“Runes of Sanctuary focus on Vitality and general support.”

how is +20% Chill Duration general support?

it should be +15% Boon Duration for Superior Rune of Sanctuary?

who else thinks this is a bug, and should be fixed?

i think this is a bug and should be fixed!

since they are removing magic find, they might as well fix this as well!

this is a bug.

please fix it!

new weapon skills be nice.

i can click on the 1 – 5 and change them!

what if, we can apply both runes / sigils PLUS infusions onto ascended armor and weapons?

Galen Grey.4709:

Why is that reason enough to take away something other people love?

because the minority are causing trouble for the majority.

and its finally here!

ascended armor and weapons can be crafted.

i hope the grind is reasonable!

funny how some people said that anet will never make such thing.

i.e. change stats on gear.

Meridian.8730:

I wouldn’t want to change stats of items…people will immediately start mathing that out, find the optimal damage ratio, and then the majority will use the same formula while a few dissidents will try different blends. However, the way that’s described it only means you will be able to switch legendaries from Soldier to Zerk to Carrion etc…

in the future, legendary weapons can change stats when out of combat.
