Word of caution: I don’t know if this is true, but it might be that you are flagged as a gold seller if you send anyone a large amount of gold.

Thanks for the heads, but I don’t think that’s true. I had a buddy do this and had no problem. Even then, it’s something a quick email to support will fix, but good looking out man.

I’m trying to accomplish the “Gold Hoarder” achievement for the “Golden” title and I need some help. I realize this a lot to ask of someone, but I’m hoping someone can lend me 200g so I can bank it for the title; then I’ll send it right back to you.

I realize I’m not likely to find a person to help me with this as it’s a lot of gold and a lot of trust, but it’s worth a shot I suppose. If there is a kind soul out there that is willing to help me with this please PM and we can talk and see if we can’t work something out. Thanks!

(Please save me and the forums the harassing/trolling responses. If you don’t want to help me, that’s fine no worries, but no need to troll the thread.)

My main(wvw toon) is a Ranger and I tried to make it work with a trap build and I’m not digging it at all.

I’d prefer a profession I don’t already have which is; Ranger, Warrior, Engy. Looking for something that can 1v1 and with some survivability since I tend to run and cap points while people are team death matching. What would be good for my play style?

Nerfing Catapults is the WRONG direction

in WvW

Posted by: Drysdale.3826

Drysdale.3826

I agree and disagree with OP. Id be ok with nerfing the catapults, but OP is right it’s entirely to easy take a tower. They need to make defending a tower easier as to give smaller servers a fairer chance in wvw

Kits have their own weapon damage value, regardless of which weapon is worn below it.
However, it retains stat bonuses of the equipped weapons.
Yes, you would get all the bonuses, however I’m unsure whether or not you would be able to do enough damage to with the flamethrower to tag enemies in time.

So this would be the best way to maximize my MF as far as weapons go?

Yes. Do note however that you don’t have to have the on kill stacking sigil on a rifle, you can put it on a pistol and then switch that pistol to a different one once you have 25 stacks.

You mean switch to something in my inventory?

I figured I’d just put it on a rifle and them the two crests on two pistols so I had easy switching variety with a keyboard click rather than inventory swap.

Looted Siege weapons soul bound

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Alright, well I won’t complain too much about a f2p game. I’ve paid monthly for worse games. At least they acknowledged the issue and plan to fix it.

Looted Siege weapons soul bound

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Drysdale.3826

Drysdale.3826

I’m sure there’s a good reason, or at least I hope there is, as to why looted siege weapons from BG chests are soul bound and not account bound.

Can’t two friends easily work around this issue by dropping and picking up? It seems pretty silly that the only deterrent for getting them on one toon is the tedious task of dropping and picking up. Why not just make them account bound?

Question To Owners Of Legendary Weapons.

I’m sure it’s like similar grinds in other games. After you get it you can breath, relax and play. It feels like less of a “job”(farming everyday) and more like a casual game.

Drysdale.3826

I had a few questions with regards to engineers and Magic Find sigils/crests.

First of all, is the dmg output of the flamethrower dependent on the gun you have out when you equip the flamethrower?

Secondly, my plan is to put a Sigil of Luck in a rifle until I get a 25 stack of MF. Then switch to pistol/pistol that each have a Crest of the Traveler(+3 magic find). Then to a flamethrower for quickly tagging spawns in Orr. Would this method give me a 25 stack, +6 MF from the crests and then allow me to tag with a flamethrower?

Would this work or am I missing something? Thanks in advance!

Why the huge price drop on mats?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Drysdale.3826

My guess, more people are salvaging rares from the boss and getting more bolts. I would guess the price will go back up when they change the boss/rare drop rate.

Does anyone have a guide for crafting a magic find suit? I’m sure it’s simple, but I’m kinda new to the game.

It’s for my engineer, so what type of medium gear am I looking for?

Is it +3 magic find on each piece of armor(x6), jewelry(x5), and a back?

Can’t comparable accessories be bought with guild mission tokens x12? That’s much more feasible than laurels/ectos.

Advice on my Ranger WvW build

Drysdale.3826

Switch out Ranger rune for Scholar. Power does more for GC builds and you should have 10% bonus to attack if you zerg surf in the back.

Do you have numbers on this? Not that I doubt you, just want to see what my prec/power/damage gains/losses would be.

So is SOS destined for T8?

Drysdale.3826

We were top server just a few weeks ago, now we can barely hold a handful of towers. Are we destined for T8? If that’s the case, I’ll probably just transfer. I play this game for WvW and running around with groups about half the size of the others servers isn’t fun, unless repair bills are considered fun.

Spikeroot fruit/infinite stun

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Drysdale.3826

Drysdale.3826

To reiterate, reply, and bump this thread. For all the people saying use stun breakers to avoid this.

1. Not all professions have access to the multiple stun breakers.

2. You can’t spam stun breakers like they can spam spiky fruit. Not a viable option.

Sorry.

It’s best to just ingore the trolls/ignorant people that post non-sense like that. Same people that answer every post about something overpowered with ‘learn to dodge’. Just like dodging, stunbreaks are a very limited ability. You can’t break every stun, and you can’t dodge every attack.

Actually, you can in theory dodge every 5 second. That is, if you keep vigor going the whole time…

In theory, but as soon as you get one Spiky fruit on you, you’re dead, because they can continuously spam them on you.

I was jumped and spammed with fruit, couldn’t stand up. Even had I successfully dodged two, when that all ran out I’d get hit with another fruit and then chained stunned to death.

Yeah, these people are in every game. It’s that whole “post to enrage people” like saying you “u mad bro”

Also, keeping this up so it’s a greater chance AN can see it.

@OP: If you happen to be in tier 1 (SoS/JQ/SoR) then I’m probably the mes LOL, seeing as I’ve used a stack and a half of spiky fruit today. All I can really say to you is use stun breakers?

I’ll never understand the point of these threads, it’s an even playing ground for everyone, spiky fruit and the other consumables are available for use by everyone. I think it keeps things interesting, and most people I’ve killed with consumables actually find it funny and PM me.

@Kumu Honua: Actually I’ve been using Spiky Fruit for months… But you are correct, it’s just now gears are starting to see mainstream usage. Though they’re actually very expensive; surprised I’m seeing lots of gear usage and not so much spiky fruit when gears cost 3x as much.

Nope, not on those servers. You’ve obviously never been hit by one. It resets all your abilities/utilities. You couldn’t break out of it if you had such an ability. It boils down to whoever can throw a fruit first, cause after that it’s auto-win. Enjoy it while you can.

CC disables most skills but not utility that breaks stun.

All my utilities were being reset with each spiky fruit, I couldn’t do anything…except lay there and die. Like I said, enjoy it while you can.
