This is one thing that bothers me about all the “Guild Hall/Scribe issues”

It’s supposed to be a guild thing. Not a personal thing. 5 badges donated by 5 people is really not that bad. To me that is how Guilds should be.

Pact Crowbars

Ellieanna.5027

for those of you that play mostly HoT, i can see why you would have an abundance of crowbars….

but for those of us that don’t only do HoT, it’s not easy building up very many…..i made the mistake of getting the airship chest for my home instance and can’t use it very often because i haven’t spent much time in HoT lately (been working on and just finished making Leaf of Kudzu and Kudzu.

I also get plenty of crowbars. Complete a daytime event and the game throws them at you, sometimes in larger quantities. I believe the periodic nighttime reward updates also award them.

actually, per the wiki, it says :
Received by completing daytime events in Verdant Brink. Nighttime events do not award crowbars. Map progression at night does award 1-3.

Isn’t that exactly what he said? o.O

Idea: Merging Character slots and bank tabs.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Ellieanna.5027

Bank characters are not an issue, as Anet has no problem letting people have (what is the number, 69 right now?) a large amount of characters.

If Anet was worried about data space that characters use, the amount of character slots we currently have would be a lot lower.

What I dislike is HOW they do patch changes…I am upset with the fact that at the class section of the patch changes,no reasoning is given for the changes Anet makes. I am not upset by a particular change…I am upset by the fact that as far as class balance goes…no reasoning is given for their changes in the patch notes section.

Edit:sodding typos.

Reason: They feel that the game will make for a more well rounded game then what is was previously.

Why does it matter the reason for the change? They felt that the change is better for the overall game then what it was previously.

Shared inventory slots on thier own line...

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ellieanna.5027

Ellieanna.5027

Are people actually completely overlooking how useful the Shared Slot Bag is?

For people who primarily just play one main character, it has very little use. It’s one bonus slot and nothing more if you play no other characters. Everyone is different. Everyone has different needs.

That’s why ANet needs to learn how to implement OPTIONS… something they almost always seem unable or unwilling to do for some reason.

Yep it baffles the mind they haven’t figured out OPTIONS are the best course of action every time.

Because sometimes OPTIONS are a viable choice for them to add. Sometimes the code will just not allow it. Sometimes trying to add it could actually break things.

Say they add the ability to hide shared inventory slots, but it breaks the game and actually hides every bag. Would you still want the option?

Why updates 30 minutes before reset?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ellieanna.5027

Ellieanna.5027

I thought I read you now have 2 hours before you’re forced to update.

Yes you did, you’re correct, that message appeard in-game the moment the build became available .. 1 hr 45 mins message appeared as I’m typing this.

@Lycan Nibbler, the dailies are valid for 24 hours, so leaving it till the last 30 mins is really leaving yourself no room for any sort of delay, isn’kitten.. although this is going to delay it in any case.

That may be ok for the people that dont have RL but many times during the week the only time I have is getting home and reset.
30 minutes is ok most time but having to do a reset on the laptop I am currently having to use means at least 5 mins+ of that is taken to sign off, get the new build (that almost always stalls coz of so many people doing it and then logging back in with a crappy slow video card) and then its getting matchups in pvp that will finish in time or wvw ones that can be done.
while it isnt a big thing most times, it seemed much more sensible when they did any update at reset.

You get kicked out at the end of a pvp match so you have to take the new build in the same way you get kicked out of wvw – the 2 hour leeway is only for pve.

If you have 30 minutes before reset to do them, why not do them during the 30 minutes after reset instead?

I can see how if you have no crowbars, you’ll stay with no crowbars. Maybe now that the daily zone boxes are back it might fix the issue. I do events and open any box I can on my DH, my poor engie was running around tagging every event, and still would run out of crowbars.

TLDR: Blame the hunchbacks known as Charr for why we don’t have proper capes now, and likely never will in the future.

Kind of a silly excuse not have them in the game. If they can’t get it to work properly for Char then make it as cloak/cape for every humanoid class and just make it a scarf or something on Char. Same items look different on genders(mantle of the lich for example), whats the difference if they start going it to the races.

I’m level 80. I can go into 80 zones, do 80 events (even raids), wear max level gear, stat wise be the most effective in WvW. Why do I need presents for do this? Isn’t what I’m doing already presents?

It’s like PvE wants reward progression like wvw points or pvp points? (yes, I play all 3 so I’m certainly allowed to comment). PvE has the best access to things.

Perhaps drifting off track, but maybe not. So why are there rewards for PvP since pvpers already have max everything? Shouldn’t the reward be a well fought match? Sure, titles and shiny nameplates are understandable, but loot boxes? Tomes when everyone is max level? WvW has some expenses, so I can see that.

I think you miss the point we’re trying to make for rewards.

PvP used to have a seperare skin system that we lost. So as much as we are “max”, we would all be in the same armor. Also:

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Ascension

That requires items outside of PvP. Should those players have to not play what they want to be able to build their legendary?

PvE has access to items to make their legendaries. WvWers get bag drops and now have reward tracks for even more.

Make Armor Sets for GemStore

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ellieanna.5027

Ellieanna.5027

When they were making armour sets for the gem store they got constant complaints that all the new armour was in the gem store and it should be acquired in-game.

So some time ago (around Season 2 I think, certainly before HoT) they announced that the gem store would only have outfits and all new armour sets would be in-game rewards.

Since then they’ve added 4 or 5 armour sets for each weight – the Ornate guild ones, the Bladed and Leystone ones from HoT, the new WvW one and of course the Mistward (aka Revenants) one for heavy armour. There might be others which I’m forgetting.

Depends if you want to count the Silverwastes set or not. (Luminescent)

It totally is entitlement.

…Explain to me how that is not entitled? We lost nothing (actually we’re getting more) and yet some feel they deserve more now.

It totally isn’t, from my perspective. Right now, nearly every reward in the game includes XP and it feels wasteful to me that (a) I can’t save it up for use in a future mastery or (b) apply it to something, especially since I have all sorts of XP boosters (and foods and …) that have no value (to me) until there’s a new mastery track.

At the same time, I agree with you that it’s fair to say that we already get the same rewards as before (via spirit shards, which steadily accumulate through new methods) and that turning XP into a new currency would mean we’d be getting more than before. Thus, I’d also be okay if the game simply stopped telling us when we got XP (after maxing masteries) and stopped giving us XP-specific boosters.

See, I can accept them turning off the XP notice when you kill something. That’s fine. And then when we get new masteries (we all know that’s coming, whether through the next living story, or expansion) we continue to get more experience towards that once launched.

I can see why we can’t save it for the next masteries.
1) What would the cap be, or would there not be a cap.
2) Wouldn’t that give someone an advantage when new masteries came out, and thus someone could actually be at max day 1.

How about this. I’m a dog (a ginger dog, even). For 80 days I do a trick and get a reward. Sometimes, it is a dog treat, others a bit of bacon, but some kind of reward. Then I stop being rewarded.

Now I feel less than motivated to keep doing the trick (and more motivated to drag my bum across the carpet, but that’s neither here nor there). It’s not that I no longer get a specific dog treat, but that I get no reward at all after having learned that doing my trick lead to some sort of happiness afterwards.

It’s not about spirit shards, and I (and others) said that. Heck, a chest with random junk is still a reward. I did like someone’s post about “reward tracks,” that sounds kinda fun.

I’m level 80. I can go into 80 zones, do 80 events (even raids), wear max level gear, stat wise be the most effective in WvW. Why do I need presents for do this? Isn’t what I’m doing already presents?

It’s like PvE wants reward progression like wvw points or pvp points? (yes, I play all 3 so I’m certainly allowed to comment). PvE has the best access to things.

And as smart as dogs are, they are not on the mentality level of a typical human being. You can’t compare a dog getting rewarded for sitting to this. Besides, I trained my dog to sit for a treat so he learned the word. Now he doesn’t get a treat every time he sits (how else am I going to clean the paws off a 100lbs dog). But he still sits and loves me the same.

You use level 80 boost. All skill points you would have earned leveling (via tomes or manual) are still earned and used to unlock all base skills.

Any hero points you do out in the world are still available to go towards your elite spec.

You cannot access elite spec unless every base skill is learned (which happens if you hit 90).

You lose nothing. If you went to 10 Tyria hero points, and had 10 before using the boost, you will have 10 after the boost and all base skills unlocked.

Edit: Cannot have spec and until next to each other

And it’s not really entitlement since:

1) The game originally rewarded post-80 levels with skill points, a commodity. This was taken away.

2) The 1-80 leveling brings a reward of some sort at each level, creating the expectation that leveling is rewarding.

It totally is entitlement.

What did you use skill points for?
1) Upgrading seige (Oh, look spirit shards)
2) Buying legendary comments as required (Oh, look, more spirit shards)
3) Those Myani (Mystic Forge Chick) items (Oh, Even more spirit shards)

So everything you used skill points for, are now spirit shards. Oh… We get those easier now.

They said the point of the Boost is to get you to 80 and with gear (mind you, most likely not the best set up for pve) and then you have to earn your HoT elite specs.

If you level from 1-80 manually or with tomes, or you use this level 80 boost, you end up with the same HP to unlock all the base skills and nothing for the elite. You still need to tag HPs for your elite.

Also, I’m fairly certain you need to unlock all the base skills before you can put points into your elite, but I might be wrong on that.

Hall of Monumental Frustration.

Quite possibly the most entitled Hall of Monuments post I’ve ever seen. I spent about 300 hours playing GW1 while waiting for Heart of Thorns and I don’t regret it one bit. I got 32/50 points in the Hall of Monuments with help from /r/GuildWars and really enjoyed the game though I made a lot of threads asking for help from time to time.

Honestly, if you don’t have any patience then you shouldn’t play GW1.

You didn’t read. Most of the respondents didn’t read.

The Hall of Monuments system is horrible. I’ve been trying to get it properly activated on my account for months, and recently went to the extreme of buying EotN to try to get it sorted because the information I’ve found indicates that it’s required, and nothing I’m doing seems to be working. I’m not asking for hand-outs. I’m not looking for an easy or free bonus. I’m irritated because I can’t MAKE THE FREAKING THING WORK.

Honestly, if you don’t have any literacy skills, you shouldn’t be playing the forum game.

Oh, look, I can be condescending and self-aggrandizing, too.

Should Have Material Storage Slot

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ellieanna.5027

Ellieanna.5027

You nay-sayers miss the point though. This has more to do with crafting materials than with leveling. My cook for example has to make multiple smaller items like poultry stock and bowls of herb stock poultry to make a single Bowl of Lemon Grass Poultry. Now I don’t believe the Bowls of Lemon Grass Poultry should be in material storage, but the incremental stocks should.

So with your logic I should just sell the excess even though I might want to make more Bowls of Lemon Grass Poultry(to make Pots of Lemon Grass Poultry) in the future once I get more of the base materials since I may have run out of Lemon Grass.

And dowels are nothing but round pieces of wood used in future weapons. I may want to make more for future toons. Why can’t they have a material storage slow. Even Mystic Clovers and Mystic Coins got slots.

Why are you making 20 stocks when you only have enough Lemon Grass for 10?
That is where the issue is, you should never have to make more until you need them. If you’re making jewelry with jewel crafting, why are you making 5 settings when you only need 2? Why are you making 10 dowels when you only need 5 for the inscription in (weapon) crafting?

That is what the point was. You don’t have to. You shouldn’t be making thoses unless you need them.

The reason I brought up leveling is if you are using crafting to level a character. And then if you are, the guides never have you make more of something, they want you to make a full item to sell. Usually you even buy the stuff you want added to storage.

I have no issues with the Guild Hall mats being added, or Blade Shards. But some of the things you want added are really a waste of storage space and Anet’s time to add.

I agree, and also all the “intermediate” stuff that you can craft that is only of use in further crafting, like dowels, weapon components, jewellery settings etc.

I don’t agree with these because: You never have a reason to craft that many when you are making an item. You should be able to craft X to make X item.

If you are leveling, you can find better ways to level then making those.

If you really want your friend to be on the same server as you for WvW, right now the best course of action is to have him to go the server that is ‘linked’ with your world, although this is just a short-term thing, since the linkings will more than likely change.
A queue system works… if it was designed for the entire game, not just for WvW. The way GW2 works is not designed in a way that a queue system would work for the entire population. We already get queues if the borderlands in wvw are full, no need to have one just to log into the game

Sorry if my thoughts seem scattered, but hopefully you got the jist of what I was trying to say

What I mean is not for log in. It’s more like, you get into que and then keep playing the game on your original server untill you get through the que.

Though you could be in queue for months.

What happens if someone in queue stops playing the game?
Do you need to have the gems on the account to be able to queue?
If you need the above, what happens to your spot if you spend the gems?
Do you have to confirm you still want to transfer, and how long do you have to reply before you lose your spot OR does it just automatically transfer you even if you have forgotten?

Population

Yes there are way less people than they used to be.

That’ s why they decided to merge wvw servers.
The first impression is right in this case

They merged WvW servers because less people are playing WvW, in combination with the fact that low ranking servers have had issues for ages because people just transferred off of them.

Trying to use WvW server merges as proof of the overall population is like saying the population of the world is shrinking because less people are living in the center of NYC.

They just moved to the suburbs dude.

So if less people are playing WvW would that not imply that there are less people in game, I know of several WvW ONLY read that ONLY guilds that have all quit the game due to the lack of WvW support, most wont come back even now, as they don’t believe it will help, come on already get the blinkers off.

Not sure which server you are on, but since Alpine borderlands returned and the server linking for wvw, our queues on BG/ET have been 20ish on all 4 during prime time NA and EB usually has a 5-20 queue during the day NA.

Before Alpine and server linking, wvw was dead. Now it’s busy. ET was a small server so they certainly are not the only reason we are queued. I mean BG is in Tier 1 after all.

Que system for server transfering

The issue is, the population for the server is based on WvW now. It’s not a quick thing that changes daily. Sometimes the server won’t be available for weeks.

He really only needs to check like once a week, or even once a day (which can be excessive).

If a server doesn’t open up for say 1-2 months, would a queue system really be a good idea? Someone might change their mind then.

agreed. An invitation cooldown for parties and squads would be welcome.
Sometimes I don’t want to join a squad simply because the commander persists on sending invites.

full support.

If the commander sets the whole squad to have invite ability, it’s possible that every invite is from someone else. It will always show the squad leader though.

I think 6 hours is enough of patience. I could’ve bought it from any other third party service and have it in 10 minutes. This is just absolute horsecrap. Nothing to do with entitled, if i have to wait longer than getting it from retail, why make it available online?

So wait, 6 hours is “enough” when it was clearly posted on their forums that there would be downtime for 7 hours today?

First people complain Anet doesn’t post on their forums, but on Reddit. Now people complain that Anet posts on their forums and didn’t update the store (which, the reason they didn’t is most likely because….. that would take a lot more time for them to turn it on, and then make sure it’s turned off at the right now).

And if you really needed it so bad today, why didn’t you buy it yesterday? If you are in that much of a hurry to have it right now, why did you wait until today?

The post states when it’s over, and I bet it’ll take like 10-15 minutes to go through any backlog of orders during that window and send out the codes before PST’s dinner tonight.
