Guild Wars 2

I think it was a good idea to get the beta access and I will try again for the next because everyone who is actually playing the game got a chance to get beta access. If you didn’t get it but you did at least try it, you got at least some materials, gold and karma. I also didn’t get any beta access yet but I know there will be more betas coming and if I dont get inside any beta, HoT will come out anyways.

and btw do we already know when the portal stops to drop? They mentioned it could drop longer than a week if they didn’t reach the target yet:

“All events and creature drops in this area now have a small chance to drop a Portal to the Heart of Maguuma item that will qualify the player’s account for an upcoming Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns™ closed beta test. These drops will continue for a week or longer to collect a strong player base for the test.”

Euhm isn’t hall of monuments 500 AP i see 550AP in your sheet?

On what is ingame based? Because monthlies is hard to tell, i got more as you with 2599 and i met someone having somewhere in 2600.
Or the missing is only based on permanent achieves?

You think more people will go there? :P and beside its personal story. There are a lot other holes. For example In frostgorge sounds there is kitten in the map at jumping puzzle next to the stairs somewhere in the start after you have passed the first little ooze

So since last patch they said they will remove the monthly achievement track. Now I wonder what will happen with the monthly AP we got and will there be any way to get more of them since the cap was at 5k for monthly AP?

It shows me that I have 2599 Monthly achievement points. (wiki says there was in total 2542 AP what’s still strange to me because I got more) But now they said this in another post: "Finally, in a release coming early next year, we will merge the existing daily and monthly achievement point caps into one pool. "

• Does this mean that the monthly Ap will be merged into the daily AP?
• And does this also mean I’ll lose AP? or I got more AP than others could ever get?
  (2599 + 8620 = 11219 and daily cap is at 10.000)
• Or will they increase the daily cap by 5k? (max monthly AP you could get)

RNG ftw? :P I was lucky to get a Zojja Armor box from rank up chest got also a few exotics quite some rares and massives of masterwork. I thought the better rank you got the better drop rate you have? (im just rank 560 not that high)

Where to farm?? Let’s play silverwastes how it was intended?? Don’t forget they just nerfed this, but there are still chests all over the place. Let’s Attack → Defend → open a few chests and repeat

Can someone tell me why a lot of players only want guards and wars in their dungeon party?
I play with thief, full zerker meta build and im sure my DPS is quite the same. But still is get kicked every time because im a Thief…

I even solo dungeons with my Thief (all legal and no exploits ofc, or blind is an exploit? )
Some people have to accept more classes…

(dont say might stacking, thief is best finish blaster in game)

In my opinion Anet did a good job some of the minis were easy to get while others needed ‘a bit of’ rng. The combination of these items was good. Opened myself 5000-6000 bags without results, but I opened and collected them for a reason which made it more enjoyable.

Now some players really have some item that others don’t have. I would like to see more unique / rare items that others don’t have (and not from gem store). Don’t say a legendary is an unique item because like everyone has at least one.

And after all its just a mini :P

I have 160+ foils left in inventory, this time the patch was a bit too early Plx accept my foils =D i want skins :P

the minigame was idd bit anoying:

• minimum of 80 games needed for max AP
• ghost = win → vilagers suicide to be a ghost
• everyone is dead with 7-9mins left, have to wait till 5:00/4:40
• villager could use some trick jumping to hide (and win if ghost couldn’t reach)
• for AP hunters it was wasting time, waiting for villagers that didn’t die before 7min, but also couldn’t do anything cause villager was in a hard to reach spot and unable to kill

Is this silver fed o matic coming back soon in gem store? now the costs per use is lowered im interested again

An update

At 28th of October (got all monthly October achievements:

Permanent: 11.188
Monthly: 2.399
Daily: 7.807
Total: 21.394
/Age: over the past 794 days

What’s yours? There should be players now with daily AP cap, show yourself

logged just in and yes inventory was smaller, from 10 in one row (2 lines) to 9+9+2 (3lines)

seems bug can’t be unbugged? :P

Here is my thief

Weapons: Shortbow of the sunless, quip and bolt

It is a bit different and almost impossible to get, but the endless fractal tonic has a tranformation into a tentacle of the jade Maw you could use this too :P

For phase 2 you could use the mini wurm, but maybe a bit too small

Firstly about pre crafting with MF, I find it strange that people say; “oh I stop throwing money into MF, I threw in 300gold and still nothing”. This while pre cursors are 1k gold+ (as long as you are below the buy price its fine for me)

Made now 7 legendaries,

• I bought the 1st one (chaos gun)
• for the 2nd one I collected exotics which i got from throwing rares into the MF, first try with exotic and there it was, “Zap” for bolt
• 3rd one was the legendary spear and pre was only 40g so i bought it
• 4th pre was for the predator, 300g bought from a guildy
• i sold the predator and bought a pre for the harpoon gun for 5th legendary.
• With other money i had from predator, i threw in 300g random exotics and got zap again,
• then for my 6th legend, the dagger, i threw in like 1200g into MF before i got the Spark
  7th, i had bought from TP, pre for bifrost (1225g)

(all buy the bifrost from TP, because mine is still in the selling list, 4099g98s99c can someone buy it? )

Got all weapons for thief legendary now except for bow, but no I won’t make it! Looking For new legendaries!

My top 3,

1. Beer
2. Beer
3. Beer

Bring guild members together in a nice place to hang out.

In my opinion Anet has to take a look into this loot system, people are missing pre cursors cause of missing loot from champs and bosses

+ I totaly agree on what Xiahou Mao said in this thread.

1-3 hits at the moment a boss gets vulnerable, I get loot
100+ hits and start to hit at like 60%, I don’t get loot
(this without a party)

ok they announced there will be some halloween event starting the 21st.

“Later in October, we’ll be bringing back our famous Halloween festivities! Blood and Madness will be returning to Guild Wars 2 on October 21 and remain active until the return of Season 2.”

For new persons be surprised by the ‘famous halloween festivities’. For others it probably wont be a special halloween it will be just like the other 2 we had so far probably. With just a different LA map, which is already a kind of halloween place, just add some pumpkins and done.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Many group up for this reason, as the party will share the kill credit:

Participation

Each player who participates in killing a monster will have the opportunity to loot the body. Each monster has a damage table and a threshold value of damage done to it by the player before it will give full credit for the kill. This value is about 5% to 10% of the monster’s health. The loot dropped is unique to the player, and loot received by one player does not affect what another player receives. One monster may drop the same rare item for multiple players.

You can read Eric Flannum’s statement about kill credit here: http://www.incgamers.com/2011/06/interview-designing-guild-wars-2-part-2

Not sure about this, example 3 wolves at ulgoth this is what i do:

I do a few hits at wolf in middle immediatly I move to other 2 wolves to hit them in the first few % of his HP ( i get loot from all 3 wolves)

or:

I hit the wolf in middle till he is dead, then move to other 2 wolves which are already at 60% HP, I only got loot from wolf in middle.

Then boss spawns:

I hit the boss as soon his is vulnerable → i get champ loot bag

I hit the boss few sec later → i dont get champ loot bag (neither when i do more dmg as in case above)

why party?
- buff sharing (your party shares buff to you)
- anti DC
- higher chance you get loot (not higher magic find and not ‘more’ loot)

The loot system is very strange.
It seems when you aren’t in a party you have to hit the first few % of the champ his HP to get a champ bag for sure, when you hit later you have a chance you dont get a champ bag.

In a party sometimes it looks like you get loot priority. Or someone else in your party just hit the champ/boss within the first few % of the HP.

Maybe there is a loot Cap? only x-numbers of players gets loot?

At least its not about how much dmg you did. You can do auto attack from 100% Hp and you get loot. And when you do max dmg with full zerk etc. but you started at like 60% sometimes you dont get the loot.

Probably some bug, because the slots disappear when you dont have that specific mini or when you withraw your minis from collections tab. Probably they did ‘disappear’ before withrawing (probably the icon disappeared and not the mini itself, at least i hope so)

LA can’t be fixed, because there are a lot of things destroyed. And LA has now a new layout with all crafting stations and other stuff spread over LA.

So Anet has to make a new environment skin for LA for halloween and wintersday ^^

And same question here, no announcement means no Halloween starting the 21st? (next tuesday)

Or the new skins in Gem store is the only thing we get this halloween?

You can use this also in the positive way :P But if you jump from a cliff, you get back to mid air and fall in water once again…

for pure gold i would say dungeons, but in fractals i always get more rares and exotics + chance on asc rings (if still needed) and asc boxes, asc armor/weapons are expansive too.

6/6/0/0/2 – power precision ferocity. PvE is just zerg, zerg and zerg if you know how to survive and how to dodge.

nopenopenope, No mounts! If you want to move faster (i gues there is a mount for?) make yourself a warrior…

and like someone else mentioned in post, if you really want to ride a mount, buy a witch broom or incoming flying carpet…

imo people misunderstand this application. imo this is about raids like world bosses but not like 25man dungeon raid.

Also I would like to see some more dungeons with at least more than 5 man and less than a full server (150man). But I think we have to wait a few years before that comes into GW2, raids to remember the fall of the elder dragons :P

This are my random thoughts of a good/nice/warm guild hall.

The guild hall is a big place to hang out with your guild. Doing nothing/activities/checks with things like:

Wall of fame and Shame
Fame
(most..)

• Influence earned
• Represented time
• guild missions

Shame

• opposite of fame…
• Failed moments (most deaths etc…)
• slackers
• non/low representing

Guild activities

• Living chess
• Duel mode
• (bar-)drinking mode
  # share alcohol
  # mix drinks (with special effect, drunk, collors, what ever…)
  # share your creations with others
• Dance party
• Keg brawl V2.0 1 vs X , throw kegs around in the group 1 man tries to obtain the keg

WvW statistics

• list of claimed objectives
• list of captured objectives
• average guild people in wvw (borderlands/EB/EotM/obsidian sanctum)
• etc…

PvP statistics

• Total guild team wins
• Total solo wins (solo and teams less then 5)
• Best player
• etc..

Additional

• Guild bank
• Guild gear (special gear/skin unlocks, unlocked by guild activities/influence/merrits)
• spending time/doing activities in Guild Halls earns influence/merrits/commendations
  build in:
• jump (puzzles), learn to jump
• learn to dodge
• etc..

These are just some random thoughts I would like to see in the guild hall. Make it a place to hang out with your guild to enjoy life in Guild Wars.

These spoons are not that terrible :P They drop a lot more than other exotics and they can be sold for 10s each

the exotics I get are most times below 1g worth
Also like 1 time a month

Last I also had a lucky periode where I got 16 exotics in just 4 days but obtained this in pve/wvw/dungeons

^ this

But yes it is very anoying if you want to try the real challenge of dungeons in GW2, doing it solo.

I don’t think he reached the maximum of 10.000 Daily AP :P

People with this much mostly knows all AP caps, cause they are haunting it xD

I just want to be up to date with my tradings
And I could plan time to get my money or put new orders, for example at lunchtimes.
But only when it is needed and not when I haven’t bought or sold anything.

As I can’t always log in into the game, but still want to know if I have sold my items on TP it would be nice to trackdown your ‘my transactions’.

idk if there’s already something like this? But it would be an awesome thing guild wars could give us. I know gw2spidy and other sites where I can see the lowest seller but when someone undercuts me I’m lost and do not know if my item is still on TP or sold.

Would be nice to have some App showing the same thing as ’My transactions" ingame. Shows us our items we still buying and selling and besides the bought and sold items.
Maybe this app thingy should be made or approved by Anet for security reasons :P

World 1 and 2 are already there, why not open them? Or put it in rotation with activities or reactivate it end of the week or month just let it come back

Learn to read the forum? Forum is full of mount requests…

We have waypoints, no mounts needed. Else get a sword/greatsword warrior its a mount itself.

I would like to add this to the reward system:

- World bosses
tier 1 completion Frozen maw (chance on eternal ice)
tier 2 completion ulgoth modniir (chance on Ulgoth’s tail)
tier 3 completion dredge commander chest (chance on Commissar’s Manifesto)
tier 4 completion foulbear (chance on sam)
tier 5 completion mark golem II (Symbol of the Inquest)
tier 6 completion the shatterer (Breath of Kralkatorrik)
tier 7 completion Arah/captain rotbeard (Rotbeard’s Treasure)
tier 8 2nd chest: dwayna (chance on Dwayna’s Embrace/Star of Dwayna)
4th chest: lyssa (All Seeing)
6th chest: tequatl (exotic dragon chest chance on spoon/teq weapon/others)
8th final reward (wurms chest chance on wurm armor)

This would really be awesome maybe bit too awesome, so repeatable once a day/week?

In bloodtide coast there is a bug with helping Cesseilia to complete the heart at Rhiann’s Despite poi -> [&BDIAAAA=].

After creating a potion and turning it in at Cesseilia makes you stucked. After interacting with NPC and say “Yes!” you can’t move anymore. Skills and waypoint doesn’t work but you can relog to get this removed.

The personal story has changed, check notes.

Story Chapters:
Personal story steps have been more clearly broken up into chapters that unlock every 10 levels so that each chapter can be played through immediately once it’s unlocked. Players that were already partway through a chapter may find themselves underleveled for any of the story chapters or overleveled for some of the chapter 7 and 8 steps that have moved.

this also works for champions: maybe try to hit the wurm in 2nd phase in the 1st second? (the moment the wurm pops out of the ground) or be in a party.

If you hit a champion the first few sec/% when there is a big group around you always get loot, if you start hitting a champ without a party at for example 50% sometimes you dont get a champion bag. Maybe this is the same for the wurm bonus chest.

Yep, in PvE there is massive lag for example: Last Thursday evening I did tequatl and after 46 minutes we finally killed him. Every action had like 4 seconds of lag like > Wave -> wait 1,2,3,4sec… and knockback.

Yesterday also, we killed teq after 33minutes.

Im not sure about the cause. But a lot of people thought the new minature system is the cause. The mini hides maybe when there are a lot of people but still it could effect performance. But not sure about this. If this is the cuase → unequip your mini till fix

To be a more constructive- something that players might want for completing the highest tier armor sets in the game would be Transmutation Charges!

Not really, I have still tons of unused ones. For completing ALL armor-sets you want something unique, not something every 3rd person runs around with.

Like the spirit backpack?

The 5 spirit weapons costs about 2000g-3000g to make… GL

I would like the same indeed. In my bank I have now 6 scrolls to lvl 20 and got 9 characters all above lvl 20. So these scrolls are useless.

Noo! how can we live that long without SAB? :’( Already having a hard time, already waiting so long. Give me SAB back

Yep still bugged, can’t find any world copy where it’s still active
last thing I need.

The build from yesterday was probably this: “Fixed a server crash.”

Oops.. too big :P "Legendary Imbued Shaman "

use the wiki and you’ll see you can earn them from personal story indeed.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=stalwart

it seems the top players in leadersboards are reaching the Daily cap soon, 22k+ is at 9500+ AP from dailies, for monthly, i compleeted like every monthly over the past 681 days 2086/5000 AP, so yes this will take a while. For me i have to compleeted every dailies the next 271 days to reach my daily cap

If I check the leaderboards for achievement points I see a big Cap between me and the first while I have done pretty much achievements, there is not much left for me. So I was wondering how much AP you guys have into Daily, Monthly (and permanent).

Is it known how much AP from Monthly and how much from Daily is the maximum you could have by now (7th of july)

At 7th of july, miss 3 monthly achievement points of july:

Permanent: 10,320
Monthly: 2,086
Daily: 6,750
Total: 19,156
/Age: over the past 680 days

What’s yours?
