Guild Wars 2

Remember when several posters justified them by saying they were meant for costly infusions……lol. Yep, that justification held water really well.

So their “self serving” agenda is to have balance throughout the game? Doesn’t that kinda suit to serve everyone?

Unless your this guy

It’s not that Wanze, Kayberz, and Cynthia are missing the point, it’s that they chose not to address it directly. Rather they deploy strawmen in an attempt to discredit something they feel somehow threaten their comfort.

By far most of them had a system in place that allowed even small guilds to progress, with requirements proportionate to their size.

Requirements proportionate to guild size won’t work. Find another solution

But it would be a great way of punishing large guild and systematically ensuring that large guilds are avoided. Actually no this is a great system. You get like 200 people, make a 5 man guild, get all 200 people to send their mats to those 5 people and bang you have all your upgrades in no time. Obviously after your upgrades are done you invite the other 195 people into the guild cause at that point size doesn’t matter anymore.

So making a system that disproportionate affects small guilds is okay b/c large guild would exploit the system? Why not monitor guilds for exploiting and punish those that do. If a guild is found to exploit remove ill gained upgrades and make them start over.

Thanks for that!

Do you know if the cap resets are bugged or anything. My guilds’ seems to randomly reset. For example we were 1700/200 until last night. Now we are 0/2000.

Just curious if anyone know when exactly the favor cap resets and when guild missions reset?

Thanks for your time.

Just throwing it out there that it would be really nice to be able to dress up our guild halls with some festive decorations for Wintersday. Maybe somethings along the lines of strings of lights, Wintersday trees, piles of snow, present boxes, etc…

But a huge consideration would have to be costs. They would need to be reasonable affordable by all..you know in the spirit of Wintersday and all. So no 1,000 linseed oil per tree please as that would really grinch up the holidays. Maybe use tiny snowflakes or runes of snowfall, which might help relieve the excess surplus of these items.

There’s really no reason why they shouldn’t tell us how it works….ofc unless it’s messed up and they are quietly trying to fix it. I’m kinda leaning towards the latter as various guild mates have the guild panel telling us different things. Some have 1700/2000 today and some others have 0/2000 showing.

Isn’t silky sand RNG for nearly worthless? I don’t remember ever getting anything of value other than an occasional geode.

Or is this just a sarcastic post to bait all those dungeon runners who can’t handle the gold spigot being reduced to a third to throw money away? Can’t tell.

One of the most demanded items comes from silky sand….coarse sand. How do you not know that?

Just a fyi..If you have any left over Mordrem Blooms [&AgGSEgEA] you can trade them in for a decent amount of sand. 5 blooms + 2s 48c = 100 silky sand

You must be new here. There’s no point in replying to those three. It won’t do anything as they are steadfast in their ways.

*left all names out intentionally

Just love seeing all these people in what I like to refer as the “honeymoon phase” of guild halls.

Just wait till the second tiers…..that “oh it’s perfectly reasonable…we can do it” goes right out the window and a “what in the righteous ever living…who in the h e double hockey sticks….holy fish sticks” moves in.

You have yet to answer the question of why…..Why is gh better?

Here I’ll help get you started.

“GH is better than LP because of _, ______, and/or ______ etc…”

Just fill in the blanks.

Can you just answer the question plz?

Ya b/c you can farm flax, sand, and sparks to make all the gold you need to buy all your quartz, linseed oil, mugs, and picks….oh wait a second…I think we took a left at Albuquerque.

They really should reevaluate charged quartz. Atm it serves as an extraneous gate for small guilds on top of the other gates mentioned.

I would presume that they were disabled as to not set one gh too far apart from the other. By that notion if they enable them in one, they should also add them to the other. Or, add some balancing something to the other.

Well disabling them has set them apart.

How?

By making Gilded Hollow better.

Precisely. Not that the devs responsible care – especially since they have already admitted to preferring GH over LP.

Nether of these answered the question. How was Guilded Hollow made better?

Personally I have both. I love the sky in LP as well as the hyenas or jackals. They really give it vastly different feel from GH.

lol Guild lvl 0-20…….y’all haven’t hit the wall yet. The upgrades go from wanting 10 or 20 of high priced items to 200 or 300. Gl trying to get a guild scribe as well as they need much of the same mats in vast quantities. It really does go from reasonable to wtf in a short amount of time.

I had a strange issue yesterday where I lost some chests. I then went to pick up some items from the tp and as soon as I did I also got my lost chests. Maybe something maybe nothing……

Well that’s moreso an issue of the players themselves not leveling up the respective masteries.

Actually, you do have a point, but only where ascended crafting is concerned. Here, they have just added 3 elonian squares to the cost of each insignia, while leaving the damask at the previous value. It was a straight increase, made to make ascended gear cost more. This at the same time where it has suddenly became more important (due to incoming raids) and also when Anet massively nerfed asended drop rates in fractals.

I’d really, really want to hear reason behind that one.

This is why you don’t let economists dictate game design!

I might be wrong here, but I suspect it’s one of the reasons this game has been known for poor rewards and continues down the same path of notoriety.

The only real issue I have with it is the charged quartz. If your guild doesn’t have a player that benefited from the brief splurge from the tots (or was it wintersday gifts?), the gate of 1 per day per player has become a massive hindrance seeing that they are now required for so many more things.

Is there an option to have our arenas use our PvP setups? Kinda seems odd to go in with PvE setups.

I read somewhere that the boost from the barkeep scale with the number of them you obtain…ie…if you have xp alone it’ll be 3%…if you have karma, xp, and wxp, they’ll be 5%

Anyone know if that’s true?

Just a thought that wouldn’t break the economy, yet would give something back to those who donate to upgrading guild halls. This would give something back to members of smaller guilds that put in substantially more per person. At the same time members of large guilds would have the option at the same return.

They should not even be tradeable. I hope it is a bug.

why not tradable?

Why because they should be a fractal exclusive item? I thought that was obvious

Even the new gold ones. Heck might as well put the Liadri, and Lama minis on the tp now. Don’t want to keep anything out……………

If that endless batwing tonic qualifies as free….why don’t you free me up a winning lotto ticket…much obliged.

Having an issue where I have fully unlocked an elite spec…in this case chronomance, but I am unable to use it/trait it/equip it.

To those still having this issue. BEFORE trying the tcp/ip dealio, check your in game GRAPHIC OPTIONS. Check your INTERFACE SIZE. If it is set to anything other than NORMAL, change it to NORMAL. Close options and try to open the chests.

It’s a small/easy fix that has worked for some and is much easier than the tcp/ip deal.

Unfortunately no. After numerous attempts we gave up and everyone has gone off to do their own things (some offline). Sry…wish I could

My guild is having the same issue. We’ve tried numerous scenarios to get it to work to no avail.

1) Yes
2) Yes

Trying to open an event reward chest crashes my game. It’s just one. I have gotten others that do not before and after the one that does. It sits there taunting me……..I try to open it out of habit sometimes and crash.

Did the Auric Basin meta event again and got the same green chest again. So now I have two reward chests and both crash my game if I try to open them. No other chests seem to crash it besides the green ones from the meta event in Auric Basin

Just found other players on the map with the exact same issue…so it’s not just me

maybe the same boat as https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/Severe-lag-during-peak-times-with-EE/first

4. Consider spending your influence.
There are about 15 consumable items that you can invest your guild influence in. You can hold 25 of each these consumables before your guild is capped on the number you can hold. If you have influence you cannot sink into consumables before launch, you will be able to exchange your influence for Aetherium, Favor and Resonance.

Influence may be exchanged as follows:
– Favor may be exchanged each week.
– Resonance may be exchanged as much as desired.
– Aetherium may be exchanged every 24 hours

How much influence should we keep for these to be on top of it at launch?

To clarify…for favor, resonance, and aetherium

I have avoided completing this as I play outside my country several times a year and my phone simply doesn’t work there.

I am not sure how the WinAuth option works as there is little info on multi-use pc’s. In other words when I am abroad I play on a pc that another gw2 player uses. So I do not want to lock their pc to my WinAuth.

I am content with my current security as is and would also like to have the option to disable the sms solicitation.

Or not answer questions

Whether something is balanced towards a tier of gear doesn’t mean that you cannot complete it in lower tiered armor. Also be aware the the thing that most people complain about in regards to ascended is the cost of the armor despite it only contributing around 2% of damage over exotic.

2%? Might want to recheck that math.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/31wbip/ascended_vs_exotic_gear_comparison_spreedsheet

Your turn

tl;dr A full ascended berserker set gives you a 12.5% increase in damage over a full exotic berserker gear set with power omni infusions. This is the maximum increase in damage obtainable with ascended gear. The ascended weapon gives the biggest increase for an individual item at 5.9%. Ascended armor only increases damage by 1.8% over exotic if you already have ascended back, trinkets and weapon.

I guess we should have clarified…..I was going for the 10-12% number

Edit I made the same mistake as the other poster……..assuming gear instead of armor alone minus infusions.

And raids were not balanced around ascended? They’ve said this?

I know for sure one of the two guilds that are testing it will be running full ascended as they are min/maxers. They will have full ascended, max foods and utilities.

It’s perfectly possible to play most of the game in white gear. It’s not recommended, but it’s possible.

As long as your not pugging it…not a concern. There will be concerns though for pugs. It’s just the way it’ll be.

Ok ty. I am trying to work through this for a friend who is experiencing the same issue. Idk if it matters. She is playing on NA servers.

Are y’all playing on NA servers or EU servers?

The two are not mutually exclusive as they are both part of the same summation.

I never said the individual mattered more. Those were your words. I gave an example where an individual had a disproportionate impact. Compound that and that is where issues arise. They are not opposite points.

It’s b/c each is part of a sum……

One is disproportionate on a 1-1 level. but on the scale the economy as a whole one alone doesn’t matter.

It’s really not that hard of a concept. What are you having troubles with? Maybe I can break each piece down to make it easier to comprehend.

Yes, and the one times the many who also take part equal?????

It’s pretty basic math. Let’s break it down shall we:

1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=10
10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10=100
10 is significantly less than 100

So we have 10 of each but one set is disproportionate…..make sense?

Just a flesh wound.3589:

I think you underestimate the amount and velocity of the gem exchange. I sold a precursor once and bought 11,000 gems. Didn’t even budge the numbers by a copper. 10 times no affect isn’t going to change much, even if he did it at one time.

Again for reference

You by yourself don’t matter. It’s the whole of players that participate in unbalanced play. They together have the unbalanced impact. Remember it not always about you.
