Guild Wars 2

would not hurt to give the players more options.

perhaps in the future, ascended items can be acquired using lots of karma as well.

James.3564:

can only spare an hour or so a day to play

an hour is more than enough to finish the dailies.

Arale.4207:

Ascended Items are fairly easy to get. Dailies are easy, and the monthly is easy too. The only really difficult ones are the earrings, due to their pricy cost. But amulet? Easy, 20 days of saving. Rings? Fractals, guaranteed chance after 10 runs with pristine relics. Or you might get the one you want to drop beforehand! Generous system IMO, especially if I compare it to other MMO’s ways of getting top gear.

and yet people still complain.

i believe the majority who complain are the ones who play the game alone and refuse to group up with the public.

gives us “tomes of experience” for completing the sPvP dailies and monthlies!

i.e. each “tome of experience” increases the PvE / WvW experience bar by
5% experience toward next level

which is the same as completing a single PvE dailies.

not asking for too much now eh?

silklash.6154:

bump.

Does anyone know the answer? Is using a guild weapon on a precursor the same as transmutating a precursor where I can’t use it anymore to craft the legendary?

yes if you do that the precursor is lost forever.

kenshinakh.3672:

can always send a support ticket to fix it if it happens.

oooo the daily laurels!

oooo the daily karma jug!

oooo the daily mystic coin!

oooo the daily pristine fractal relic

oooo the daily % for ascended rings!

etc

declan.3968:

come unker, u take over my bank guild and see.

hahahah dun wan la u keep it for yourself.

CHOAM.7852:

I bought one for 5 gold. I kicked everyone except me after the original leaders stood down and the guild is still there. So, it is entirely possible.

i see. thanks for sharing!

so me and my friend would like to get the tittle “golden” she has 100g and i have 100g.. can i get banned for lending her 100g so she can get her tittle.. vis versa …

MasterYoda.8563:

it’s not a bannable offense

2 of my guild members were suspended. they submitted support tickets and got their accounts un-suspended after a some time.

N sent D 200gold via in game mail, so D could get the achievement for depositing 200 gold into his bank. D sent the 200gold back to N. Both D and N were suspended.

This worrys me. Ive been sending my brother gold to get him “up to speed” because hes newer to the game than me. He will probably start sending it back soon :/

me and my guild members came to a conclusion that, 10 gold and above triggers the ban bot.

use the guild bank for large gold transactions.

use the server browser for standard 8 vs 8 game.

find a game that has like 9 – 15 players in it and join in.

Stooperdale.3560:

Someone in Lion’s Arch tonight was shouting to find a buyer for his guild, asking for a moderately big sum of gold. This guild had enough assets for guild missions. Even if we assume this isn’t a scam, it still opens up a number of potential problems.

How bad are the problems that can be created by guild sales? Should there be any intervention by the designers to prevent it becoming more commonplace?

I do not think this is possible at all.

In Guild Wars 2, it appears that the original ownership transfer of guilds is impossible.
The guild is disbanded if the original guild founder leaves the guild.

fractalKinesis.8569:

It’s a bit old, but I’m gonna necro this because I agree. It would be kitten great. I like to change up my look with various armor and dyes, and it’s hard to test out certain builds and armor without being able to just change it.
I use the PvP testing area for testing stuff, but that’s not always indicative of worthwhile PvE, is it? And I still have to go buy runes and then add them on the armor again… takes so much unnecessary time.

aye, this system would even benefit sPvP players if properly implement.

No longer they have to limit their builds to the few PvP amulets as they can truly tweak their stats to the max!

I have changed the title and contents slightly to make it affect all equipment, not just armor only but all weapons, armors and trinkets!

Kultas Sunstrider.9218:

I don’t want exp/karma/laures, I just ask for rank/glory points instead. in pve daily and montlhy gives experience, why not rank points in pvp then? leveling up in pv kitten o tedious and so slow

hmmm maybe anet wants us to gain rank points slowly.

i noticed that they are glory boosters but no rank boosters.
well, we need some little bit of pve / wvw incentive to attact some people over.

make it so that completing daily monthly PvP gives

“experience jugs”
drinking it, increases experience bar by same amount as completing 5/5 PvE daily.

hmmmm i think laurels need to stay in the PvE dailies or else the PvE only players will rage haha.

maybe experience jugs / vials from PvP daily is good also.

This might encourage some people to try out sPvP.
Previously I asked for Laurels but people objected.

Surely a Karma Jug that gives 4,500 Karma would be fine, yes?
Else not, perhaps a Karma Vial that gives 400 Karma then.

kKagari.6804:

Amen to that, and that’s not the only big mistake in this game.

But its just business. When the game gets stale is when they’ll start introducing these permanent convenience items for sale. One big last push for money.

aaaah okies.

well, will have to wait until that happens then haha.

kKagari.6804:

You get 1 set of AC armor, then you transmuted as many times as you want. If you want 2 sets of AC armor, with different stats, then you run the dungeon again.

No convenience = more time spent repeating stuff. That’s how they make you play the game more. Notice how all their permanent convenience items are RNG (permanent trading post pickup contract for example) and the ones that are temporary are absurdly priced. They really don’t want you to have convenience

well, i would say they are making a big mistake.
i dare say more people would like to spend more for permanent items.

right now, i do not think a lot of people would want to spend on non permanent items.

permanent items being:
character slots
bank slots
bag slots

kKagari.6804:

If someone wanted to ‘collect everything’ they can still do it now, it’ll take up more inventory space and they’d have to get more storage slots just for the armor.

try tell that to someone who want to collect all

armor skins
all prefixes on all armor skins
all runes

say, major types of armor skins:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_armor_sets
cultural – 3 types
dungeon – 8 types
42k karma armor – 1 type

12 types, not including crafted armor types and others yet.
prefixes, not sure, say at least 15 types of stats
armor runes, at least 52 types

at least
12 skins
15 prefixes
52 runes

there is not enough storage for all.

kKagari.6804:

If someone wanted to ‘collect everything’ they can still do it now, it’ll take up more inventory space and they’d have to get more storage slots just for the armor.

Anything that borderlines ‘convenience’ is making Arenanet lose money in the long run.

there is never enough storage space.

anet will earn more actually.

people will be glad to fork out more real dollars for convenience.

kKagari.6804:

CobaltSixty.1542:

Then what the hell is the point of transmutation stones? You know, one of the things people actually buy from the store. You know, a source of income for the developers.

You said it before I did. I was about to add ‘terrible idea’ (from a money making perspective) though.

it would be a great idea since anet would make more monies from it.

more people would buy more fine transmutation stones and use them to absorb more armor skins & stats to their collection.

CobaltSixty.1542:

Then what the hell is the point of transmutation stones? You know, one of the things people actually buy from the store. You know, a source of income for the developers.

it would encourage more purchases of fine transmutation stones since it would require a fine transmutation to save skins & stats.

people with “gotta get them all” mind set will spend more on fine transmutation stones.

banks, wardrobe have limited space.

a smart armor system that absorbs all skins and stats has no limit.

randomfightfan.4091:

not true, sorry

you tried that out before? trying to put them into the mystic forge

Adry.7512:

IF u could take off the skins from an armor and attach the skins to a different armor….

you want a smart armor system that can allow us to swap the skins and stats freely.

come check out my suggestion topic then:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Changeable-Armor-Skins-Stats/first#post372902

imagine an armor system in which we can freely change the skins and stats.

i.e.
we have the following:
skins: AC, COF, TA, CM, HOTW, ARAH
stats: soldiers, rampagers, clerics, berserkers

each armor piece, can change any skins and stats freely:
helm shoulders chest pants gloves boots

i.e.
AC soldiers, AC rampagers, AC clerics, AC berserkers
COF soldiers, COF rampagers, COF clerics, COF berserkers
TA soldiers, TA rampagers, TA clerics, TA berserkers
HOTW soldiers, HOTW rampagers, HOTW clerics, HOTW berserkers
ARAH soldiers, ARAH rampagers, ARAH clerics, ARAH berserkers

for these, change stats and inventory icons freely:
back amulet ring ring accessory accessory

everyone would be happy.
there would be no need for armor wardrobes as well.

well i heard you can throw four of them into the mystic forge and see if any better rings come out.

i think anet will do just fine.

people who wanna support anet will buy gems from time to time.

if there will be expansions, the expansions will probably be priced at usd39.99 and requires the main game usd59.99

there will be new funds from the expansion sales.

no worries there.

the original guild wars did well with its 2 stand alone expansions and eye of the north rite?

Jabberwock.9014:

This would be even worse… if there are multiple good skins you can only choose one.

But yeah, it would be best if the cosmetic system was independent of stats, so we could have a closet of skins and not be shoehorned into using only one or two. Unfortunately I don’t see that happening anytime soon…

“multiple good skins you can only choose one.”
well i am sure given enough time people will acquire them all eventually.

“cosmetic system was independent of stats”
in my opinion it would be best if both the skins and stats are interchangeable.

i.e. have the following:
skins: cof, ac, orr temple
stats: soldiers, berserkers, knights

can freely swap as:
soldiers cof, soldiers ac, soldiers orr temple
berserkers cof, berserkers ac, berserkers orr temple
knights cof, knights ac, knights orr temple

there would be no need for armor wardrobe since the armor is capable of storing all skins and stats in one piece. (total 6 pieces head shoulders chest gloves pants boots)
other 6 pieces just stats and inventory icon only i guess
(back amulet ring ring accessory accessory)

“I don’t see that happening anytime soon…”
i think if we make enough noise. it will happen eventually.

Orion the Cursed.1206:

What if ascended gear has a particle effect.

you have 2 options for ascended gear:

1. upgrade stone with set prefix, a consumable which transforms a armor to a lvl 80 ascended with ascended stats and a unique particle effect. You can keep your look and upgrade it as well.

2. new ascended gear designs with built in particle effect.

maybe better if anet gives us all options? let the players choose what they want.
1. upgrade stone good for those who wish to retain their current looks.
2. good for people who want new skins. perhaps introduce lots of different types of ascended armor skins. more variety.

then again, all of this would not be an issue if we got an armor system that allows us to change skins and stats freely.

Jabberwock.9014:

That’s essentially what I suggested in my first post, so yes. However as I noted I would prefer removable upgrades so we can have multiple exotic sets that we can switch the ascended upgrades between.

my suggestion “save all skins & stats of armor” covers your “removable upgrades” but unfortunately no ones likes that.

Jabberwock.9014:

Believe me, transmute stones do not solve the problem since they PERMANENTLY destroy the look of the item you are transmitting onto. For a 3g exotic this ain’t a big deal, but when you are talking a month to acquire one ascended chestpiece you are not going to want to destroy its look just like that. I have over 300 fine transmute stones (from blcs) and am not in any way comforted by them.

easy solution:
- ascended armor upgrade stone
- no new skins for ascended armor

use the new ascended armor upgrade stone to upgrade the stats of existing armor pieces to ascended level.

could be the same for weapons as well.

perhaps ascended armor will come as a piece of “ascended armor upgrade” to be applied onto existing armor pieces to make them have ascended stats.

this would be good.

kirito.4138:

I’m still having fun in sPVP and same with tPVP.
Yes, it can be better and likely will be changes to follow.

If you take a step back and look at the broad view, we as end-users are pretty demanding; wanting everything and need instant gratification.

However, I also do PVE content and WvW. A little of everything GW2 offers.

same here.
though i play sPvP daily (normal 8 vs 8 via server browser not hot join) just to complete the sPvP dailies.

at the start of each month i play sPvP tourney until i won 3/3 tourney matches and then stick back to 3 sPvP matches per day.

do PvE and WvW as well too.

Or the Monk, but back as a martial artist and not a dedicated healer.

maybe light armor support.
i.e. guardian = heavy armor support

please remove invulnerable mobs.
the original guild wars one never had it.

it only costs about 30 laurels to redeem an ascended amulet.
not that hard.

Revolution.6301:

Ever play this game called Guild Wars?

In it, it was so easy to get max stats. Anyone and everyone had it. What we cared about was:

Cool looking minis
Weapons skins
Armor skins
Special cosmetic items such as the destoyer glove, chaos glove
Titles
Create and try out new builds.

We had lots to do even with our ‘max stats’.

yeah i played that since 2005 when it launched. i started a bit late though. in may 2005 instead of april 2005.

guild wars: prophesies was loaded with content.

it took me quite a while to reach level 80 after finishing the crystal desert trials and reaching droknar’s forge.

thank goodness i have enough savings (about 7.5 platinum) so i could afford the max stats armor haha.

unfortunately, gw2 is not gw1 though.
but hey, “who moved my cheese?”
things change and we have to adapt to it.

caiomacos.1694:

How do you get max stats in GW2?
Unfortunately, since the addition of ascended gear, grinding.

well, all mmorpg have some grind in them.

at least the grind in gw2 have a 100% method to get max stats.
i dun play other mmorpgs much.
could you name me other games that have some 100% method to get max stats?

thanks!

Geikamir.6329:

There are other ways to provide content than higher stats. In fact, ascended gear IS NOT actual content. It’s time-gated, pseudo content to give us something to keep logging in daily until they release expansions for us to buy.

yeah you are right.

but i am referring to those people who complain about taking too much time to achieve max stats.

bcos,

gw2 = 100% can achieve max stats, just need time.
(may be faster for some other people who have a decent guild with nice dungeon party members)

other games, is there a 100% way to achieve max stats?

Arale.4207:

I agree. People who are playing this game have it so good compared to the games of the past and, yes, even games still being played right now. I feel really blessed to play this game. Sure, it’s not perfect, but there’s seriously MUCH worse out there. I think back to the days of WoW where I’m fighting with people via /roll to get that one item that dropped on my 40th run.

Sure glad that’s over.

i only played world of warcraft for a bit. did not experience 40 players raid yet.

those 40 players raid also use a 1 – 100 roll to determine who gets a single loot at the end of a long raid?

Minion of Vey.4398:

The goal of a game should not be to suck less than the competition.

if we get max stats too easily people complain there is nothing left to do.

remember what happened shortly after launch?

so it is one hour later now?

this means 9am gmt+8 instead of 8am gmt+8 ?

how do you get max stats in guild wars 2?
never mind, i already know.

the important thing is, we can get max stats in guild wars 2, just takes some time.
though if compared against the original guild wars: prophesies, factions, nightfall, eye of the north then max stats in the previous guild wars game should be faster to achieve.

anyway, how do we get max stats in other mmorpgs?
say, world of warcraft.

how long do we need to spend?
is there a 100% guarantee?

please tell me.
thank you.

p/s: people complain too much and forget to be appreciative of what they have.

just give all events a loot bag or loot chest then everyone will be happy.

how about erecting more gates in more places?

have a fotm gate in each of the cities
- rata sum
- hoelbrak
- black citadel
- the groove
- divinity reach

might as well throw in a gate at heart of the mists too.

HannaDeFreitas.4236:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

lul y do u want to do that?

Ectos are worth a ton more in GW1 than they are in GW2.
They are pretty much like GW2’s destroyer lodestones.

hmmm true.

say
gw1 ecto costs 10 platinum (tier 2 advanced currency)
1 platinum = 1000 gold (tier 1 basic currency)
so gw1 ectos costs 10,000 units

gw2 ecto costs 30 silvers (tier 2 intermediate currency)
1 silver = 100 coppers (tier 1 basic currency)
so gw2 ectos costs 3,000 units

hmmm yeah gw1 ectos does cost a lot more haha. 3 times more than gw2 ectos.

lul y do u want to do that?

downed opponent is not killed.
defeated opponent is killed.

please finish what you started.

i would say it would be extremely rare not to trigger an account suspension.

4 of my guild members got suspended for sending large amounts of gold over in game mail. though they sent in support tickets and got their accounts un-suspended.

1st case:
N sent D 200gold and D sent the 200gold back to N, so D could get the 200 gold achievement.

2nd case:
S’s friend sent S some 35 gold along with some tier 6 materials to help S get his legendary short bow faster.

Gaile Gray.6028:

It would be extremely rare for this to trigger an account suspension or termination. Naturally, if it happens you should contact Support, but I think you’ll be fine as long as you are making a legitimate transfer and not engaging in sketchy stuff.

hello!

one of my guild members originally has the character name
Mufaka Bloodfist

and was forced to rename his character recently (maybe 1-2 weeks ago)
the name Mufaka came from his name:
Muhammad Faisal Kassim

taking the first 2 characters of his name
Mu Fa Ka

it was not an offensive name.
why was he forced to change it?

thanks!

Gaile Gray.6028:

I show you as reinstated immediately after the name censor. We’re trying out a more kindly procedure, and since this was your first name block, we flagged the name (it must be renamed, but I don’t think you argue with that!) but we removed the suspension. If you rename acceptably — and I am confident that you will — then you’ll be just fine.

For broader info: If someone were to rename offensively, they would serve at least a 72-hour suspension with the second name infraction. We’re testing this, and we’ll see if it’s effective. I hate to go back to the “insta-suspension” for the first name block, so I’m hoping this will prove to work well to remind people to not use offensive names, get those names out of the game, but keep the players able to continue playing.

this is not a 1 vs 1 game.
play street fighter 4 arcade edition if you want 1 vs 1.

davep.2867:

Yes i agree completely. It would unbalance WvW or PVP.. Dungeons would be fine i think.

hmmm well yeah a little bit extra stats for dungeons would not hurt i guess.

so only for open world pve and dungeons.

not for wvw

spvp is already separated from the rest so no problems there.
