so this thief was heart seeker spamming me and our thief buddy dropped shadow refuge down on us. the enemy thief heartseekered off the edge of the cliff that we were close to since he was no longer targeting me.
That is kind of worrisome, as I do swear a bit myself, but the game isn’t rated M, so we are still bound by that and the EULA, if there is anything regarding profanity in the EULA that is.
havnt you ever heard of “online interactions are not rated by the ESRB”
there should be a key you can hold down and when you click on an item in your inventory itll automatically salvage it if you have the salvage kits needed.
im clearing out my pvp locker for mats and it is extremely slow.
whenever the master volume is up and when i get into a fight this EXTREMELY annoying bug happens where the sound will cut out for a second and cut back in over and over and over and over until the fighting is done.
its not the siren sound. i can actually hear outside my headphones the disconnect and reconnect device sound from my speakers
i was in wvw today and its the first time it happened and it distracted me so much
Don’t allow them to heal while in stealth. They nerf healing for eles in mist form. I understand its different but stealth is just over abused. And fighting someone and getting them to about 10% of there health and then invs you aoe and miss them and they reappear full health. Healing should reveal them.
The thing is, to get that, you need a few things:
Hide in Shadows
Shadow’s Rejuvenation
TONS of Healing Power
That already limits you a lot, since Hide in Shadows has a 30 second cooldown and Shadow’s Rejuvenation requires 30 points into Shadow Arts. And no, you do not heal fast enough with Shadow’s Rejuvenation alone.
Now, Healing Power comes with the following combinations:
Healing Power / Power / Toughness
Healing Power / Precision / Vitality
Healing Power / Toughness / Condition Damage
Toughness / Boon Duration / Healing Power
Vitality / Condition Damage / Healing Power
Notice that there is no combination with Healing Power and two damage modifiers. No Condition damage with Precision, no Power with Precision. This means that a Thief who specs for Healing Power lacks damage.
Also, regaining health in stealth means that you’re not dealing damage, unless it’s conditions.
Thus, the only spec available is a P/D bleed spec. And let me tell you, the damage those guys do in comparison to a full berserker Backstab thief is weak.
My point is that you cannot get both damage and massive stealth regeneration.
Shadow Arts trait line. The trait line to improve your stealth ability. This also happens to be your +healing and +toughness trait line. Since you’d want to reach Shadow’s Rejuvenation, then you will have +300 healing before you even consider gear. Not to mention the +300 toughness before you even start to factor in gear
Honestly all ANet has to do is give the Acrobatics trait line the +toughness and +healing. This way, if they go the stealth route, it should cost them survivability while out of stealth.
I mean honestly. Thief players have basically become out right delusional now if they think they are made of glass and if they weren’t see through they would shatter.
try some more challenging things like high level fractals or some exp paths.
id also recommend challenging yourself to create a strong group of people you can play with.
when i say strong, i dont mean pro. youd be surprised by how much more youll enjoy the game while playing with people who respect you and you respect them.
Is new and is looking for members who are interested in playing with a guild that is currently small, new, and developing. Lead by two best friends who are looking to make new friends in Guild Wars 2.
send envy.1679 or middnytt.2431 in game pm.
All we ask is that you represent and try to socialize with fellow guild members.
when going through your guild list or roster each player should have a little area that the player can leave a message, and a person of adequate privileges can leave a message
for example i want people to be able to scroll over my name and see that i left a message “wanting to do wvw or looking for hotw group” or something. so when someone wants to know how many people are looking for a wvw group all they have to do is look down the roster
it can also be used as a way to show what you are doing on your character like
you scroll over someone name and it says “geared berserker warrior”
also can just use it for a guilds officer to give people sub-titles
like if a player rank was “captain” he could have in his box that he is also a damagedealer or supporter in dungeons or whatever he does.
can also just be used for social purposes just like the league of legends status people have
Basically OP is asking for the Devs to do work for him and change the game. To revamp the bank system and make the old system obsolete. To get this result, better reasons need to be given than what have been given so far. So far I have seen reasons of this level, I may want to buy something and its inconvenient to switch characters, or it’s inconvenient to go thru loading screens or to waypoint to LA or WvW for free. In answer, the Devs are going to point to the cash shop items, Bank Access Express and Trading Posts express. Why should they redo the game and lose money in sales on top of that? The people who want this will need to offer compelling reasons for it.
i never said anything about changing the bank. the system is already in the game to have currencies account bound (gems, laurels, and glory already use such a system)
i honestly have no idea where you think i said i wanted the bank system “revamped” the bank is for your items and theres only a small part where you can withdraw and deposit gold. making gold account bound is a long shot off from “revamping” the bank system….
and the bank express is in my experience used mostly for items (storing stuff after events or dungeons) i dont know anyone who summons a bank express because they feel too overburdened with gold….
and why did you even mention trading post express? nothing whatsoever to do with gold becoming account bound
try to stay on topic with your posts please
In order to make cash across all accounts, you have to change the game. If you change it that much, the old bank system is obsolete. Why have a money bank at all if its on your hero panel the same as gems and laurels or if all characters carry it at once. If you want more gold than what you are personally carrying and don’t want to waypoint to a nearby crafting place, WvW or LA, then that bank express is what the Devs have put in the game. I’m not arguing that its cost effective, merely that the Devs are going to say “that’s available” to any argument concerning convenience. You will need a better reason than convenience to counter that.
I mentioned the Trading Post express because I misread that person’s post. I thought he meant he was doing the buying out in explorable area.
thats more clear, but im not even asking to remove the option to store gold in the bank. i would do it myself to just make a savings account for gold. with that in mind, my option wouldnt change the bank whatsoever. which is definitely not “revamping” the bank system as you claimed. especially when you keep in mind that the gold storing portion of the bank is only half of the banks function.
which brings me to say, again, that the bank express is in my experience more for the items in the bank, not withdrawing or depositing gold. so anet would lose little if any money from making gold account bound due to loss of bank express sales.
but i understand that you wont like it and the other guy pretty much summed up what most peoples opinion about it seem to be which is theyd rather have each character have a sepperate gold storage

True – Gems and Glory. Gems are not earned through gameplay directly, and I don’t do that much pvp so Glory escaped me.
I said it would be too easy (at least don’t fuzz my words) to burn through, and if you insist on calling it a “personal self control” just to trivialize the issue and thus ignore it, this is your own personal view, not everyone’s.
I still think you’re missing the point though. I don’t want to be constantly able to withdraw from all my available money. I want to have some of them saved up somewhere. Even more, I don’t want each character to have a common pool so that if I use some I then find my other character’s funds have decreased, and I suddenly realize I have been saving on my other character for something.
But anyway, its your opinion, and only an opinion, that gold should be combined. It’s not a case where you can casually dismiss others’ point of view just because you don’t like it, because your point of view has the exact same weight as others’.
And my opinion is that I don’t like this idea, and rather have it as the system is now – separate gold on all characters.
i never said you couldnt store your gold in the bank even if they did make it account bound..
Actually they don’t do it with Karma. Karma is character bound. Laurels are the only currency directly shared by all characters.
And I didn’t “imply” that it’s a bad idea because of lack of self control on my part. I said that it makes tracking whether you’ve gained or lost gold over the lifetime of a character incredibly more difficult.
For example, I start with a new character, and at level 40, I now have 3 gold. Currently, knowing that I never withdrew gold, I can safely say I’ve gained gold, and not wasted it on buying armor/weapons or crafting mats.
With your system, when I reach 40 and have 11 gold, I’ll be wondering if I managed to make some gold or spend more than I earned. Managing your gold may not be important to you, but it is to me, since I have so precious little of it and don’t want to waste any of it while leveling my characters (because the best spend gold is only for your lvl 80s, where you won’t be discarding any gear/weapons you buy in a day or two, as you do with leveling)
i was wrong about karma, but youre wrong about laurels being the only account bound currency.
gems and glory are also shared throughout your characters. you wouldnt have 1 k gems on 1k character and 2 k on the other, would you?
and in your previous post you said that if coin became account bound you would “burn though” it too fast. that sounds like a personal self control problem any way you say it
also what matters if you on a level 40 and have 11 gold ? youre level 40, you know you have 11 gold to your name. does it matter if its from your other characters than if it was from your level 40 character? why does it matter which character it came from? if youre worried about keeping track of your gold then account bound would be a whole lot easier. youll be able to see your total gold when you log on, and your total gold when you log off. it isnt hard
Seriously? Putting money in the bank is too time-consuming? I mean really? I mean REEEEAAALLLLY?
its faster to just have it always accesible. it saves 2 loading screens and two ports
what would be wrong with that?
so far the arguments i heard were “id rather have it so that i have to port to the bank and back and then do it again on my other character”
someones even implying they like the way it is because they dont have self control.
oh well. they do it karma, they do it with laurels, they do it with glory, and no one is complaining about it for those currencies. dont see why they would complain about it with gold
Each of my characters carries 10 silver, which is plenty for repairs and way pointing. At the end of the day, I clear out inventory and put any excess money in the bank. Why do your characters need to carry a lot of money around? It’s not like they need to buy much, or anything during most play. If they do need something special, like gear upgrade, you can get it before or after you play.
it wouldnt be much use to someone who only has “10” silver on each character……
and how is 10 silver enough for way pointing? thats like 5 ports. 2 of which would be used to get to the bank and back to where you were
but say i had 30 gold on my main, and i wanted to buy some dye for my other account. it would be easier and faster to not have to go to a bank on both characters and just have it automatically accessible to my other character.
I don’t really see why this is needed in the game. Similarly to Astral, each of my characters keep a minimum of 50s. Every time they level up, I go to LA to sell all my junk/items, buy anything I need, and deposit whatever money I have left over. It’s not that difficult.
If ANet did this, I hope it’s optional because I would probably disable it.
never said it was difficult whatsoever.
simply stated that its easier and faster. if theres people like you who would prefer the extra hassle to port to a bank, run to the bank and deposit the money, and then log on to the character that the money is needed on, port to a bank, run to it, and withdraw it instead of just conveniently having it shared across character’s, i can see how it wouldnt get much support
put it in the bank and then any character on the account can access it as needed.
i know you can put it in the bank, but it would be easier and faster to just combine it.
imagine if they had laurels for every separate character. why would you have to put laurels in to the bank instead of just having it across your account
maybe put some reason to some inns or social buildings
put something like a board game, or some kind of mini game inside.possibly even a card game like there was in some games (like final fantasy x2 – had some kind of card/board game)
just something that involves table top strategy, could be anything. +1 if it involves collectibles
so i can sort my guild without 20 offline members in between 5 not repsenting members between 10 offline members between 1 online member between 20 more offline members

if copper on server A was selling for 17c each, and copper on server b was selling for 25c each, (for what ever reason, just an example)
someone could buy thousands of copper on server A, and then switch to server B and make a giant profit merely by switching servers and reselling his cheaply bought copper for 7+c each.
it’d be hugely exploitable and would “break” the economy – and thats not an exageration.
i dont see how siege equipment = pay to win
about 90% of the items you gain via RL money are consmetic. So if having better looking armor is blinding you to death or lagging your computer thenkitten. i don’t know what to say.
no you can buy gems and sell for in game gold, letting you literally buy armor and siege equipment with irl money.
however, i dont think they spent irl money on their siege equipment.
people whove farmed dungeons for days have a lot more money than people spending irl money, unless the person spending irl money is buying hundreds of dollars worth of gems
and yet people are still farther into their end game gear than i am with less than half the time played, thanks to the buying gems/selling for gold thing.
