Guild Wars 2

The price for T6 materials is community driven (even though the scarcity i handled by Anet). So it can change and basically you could get lots of xp for very few gold.

I think thakitten would be best that we got a very small amount of xp only when we discover new recipes.

Healix.5819:

I’m currently collecting data on dragon events and monitoring the status on all 51 servers, using on average 2.9 KB/s at about 1600 requests per minute. Only 1 server would be 60 bytes per second on average. For that to lag you, you would have to be on something worse than dial-up.

You state a lot of things about speed and lags for someone who doesn’t mention latency even once.

All the resources you show somehow use REST. This API doesn’t provide REST. So Anet is free to use the query string part.

The 404 is valid for a query string part since the HTTP protocol doesn’t say anything about that.

Make the predator, sell it, buy the legendary you want. That’s the easiest. If you wait for your gifts to become sellable, you’ll have the money anyways.

The Talcmaster, you are wrong. 404 means that the resource cannot be found. This is typically a case where a resource cannot be found. See http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.5

Hi,

I tried calling the following url: https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/wvw/match_details.json?match_id=1 I received an error 500.

Since the match with id 1 doesn’t exist either, you should return an error 404, telling me that I made a mistake, not that you made an error while searching for the erroneous input I gave.

What are the supported languages for the queries allowing lang as parameter?

I suppose these are “en”, “de”, “fr” and “es”, but if there are more, a complete list of supported languages would be welcome.

Also, undiscovered events are, for instance, the new events that occur in a new release. I understand why Anet doesn’t want us to know which events are being released.

Make them 5K points a pop.

have over 6K APs

So basically, what you say is “Give me a precursor. Now. For free.”

As long as it stays in /t, /s and /d only, yeah, but not in /m.

/m is for babbling. All the three others are for combat.

With friends we were babbling about great consoles of our past. Of course some mention Sega. However it seems that it’s a banned word.

We tried with several other names, all work (yeah, even Blizzard). Yet “Sega” doesn’t.

Please allow us to say that word in the chat. It’s ridiculous to have it filtered out.

To compare things, map exploits are often something that a developer wrongly computed. Yet the result is that it is modified because it is considered as an exploit. Here, it’s the same, the feature is unwanted. I could make some conjectures like they created walls with a thickness X units to avoid ressing like you do now, but some time after another guy says “hey it’s cool if we can revive from X + 3 units”, people agree and implement. Then nobody think about the wall thickness in wvw and here you have an unwanted feature. It’s not a bug, yet it’s not what the people intended in the first place. So, it actually is an exploit. Not a bug exploit, but still an exploit. My definition is correct.

Though, to be complete and on a more positive note, I really appreciate your concern and your discussion with your guildies.

There you go. First result on my localized Google http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Mildread

Really? Using Urban Dictionary? Why don’t you use TV Tropes while you’re at it.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Asura

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=charr

My point was that it’s the first Google result. Not implying anything else.

As Google search results are skewed by your recent searches and pages, all I see is what you use Google for, because it’s the second to last link of my second page of results.

Thanks for airing your dirty laundry.

You can think what you want, I won’t even try to show how stupid your comment is.

What I see though is that you never accept to be shown wrong; so it’s worthless to discuss with you.

So you
- acknowledge the weakness in the game
- can reproduce it
- insinuate it shouldn’t be present
- acknowledge it isn’t fair
Yet you
- keep using it when it does happen
- provoke that scenario

That’s the exact definition of an exploit.

AS has 20 points atm. Karma exists.

Night capping is part of the game, Teddy. I have nothing against that. I have however issues with zoom-exploiting-capping.

Indeed, it’s “of the knight”. Also, it doesn’t exist on items and cannot be crafted: it’s only when an emerald is socketed into an item that the emerald will give precision (major), power and toughness (minor).

@OP: short answer for all your problems: press B.

You’re welcome.

Don’t add a title for 1 extra hour of work besides “Been there, done that”.

Instead add a title for having done all the achievements in the explorer achievement panel. That’s a title I’ll proudly bear!

Edit: ok, maybe remove the legendary from this one.

Thanks a lot for the answer mercury

The elementalist can create several powerful summoned weapons.

I would like to know if there is a difference between two different professions with the same gear when they use the summoned weapons.

For instance, a guardian and a warrior have the same gear (same everything), will they deal the same average amount of damage if they spam 1?

This JP was awful. I didn’t have it before yesterday.

I tried to launch a run to finish it in the overflow I was in, without success, or guys were at the end of the JP asking for ridiculous amounts of gold to open portals (5-10g).

Not 10 minutes later I was lucky and got a slot in my server’s southsun cove. I took all my party with me. And the guys were just starting a JP run. It took 5 mesmers and 30 minutes to get it done. In the end there was nearly a permanent portal both at the end of the JP and at the sample, freely done, and everybody got both his achi and the sample.

I guess that I’m lucky to be on my server, people are nicer than in other places.

I’d rather say remove the PvE requirements for this title.

Well, thanks a lot for all your input! I will try each of those!

A special thanks to TurtleDragon for being so explicit.

What? Everybody loves the tentacles? It’s the worst back pack ever. I have seen only one yet and I cannot imagine how ugly it will be when, in LA, everybody will wear this skin. Seriously, reduce the size or something like that.

I lived in a fairy world where I thought GW2’s skins were nicely designed. This world just shattered.

Reduce the size? not even this great well, and needs to move as in the preview, finally got a decent gear for necromancer and you want to ruin it xx

Everybody can have his own opinion, right? Well mine is that this should never have passed the internal joke in Anet. Given that opinion, I could ask for a deletion of the skin. Hey, I only ask for a reduced size. And I know it won’t be done. So what?

Well, give us SM for one day and defend it against AS and we might consider GvG, since you just “forget about the score”.

I need more too. It’s really frustrating to have 2 slots taken by dungeon and fractal tokens + fractal rings, and half a tab for each of my 8 characters, leaving 2 slots for common stuff. I really don’t have enough of these slots.

50g for a race change? Easy: create new char, pay 50g to craft, enjoy!

No I don’t agree: I don’t want my Norn warrior to have a Wyld Hunt accomplished. This just makes no sense.

Reroll is and should be the way to go.

Take an example:
- 5 berserker warriors are viable for a lot of dungeons, including fractals.
- 5 rabid/carrion necros aren’t viable for any dungeon or fractal.

Please stop with these GvG requests… When our total scores will be 33% each, then why not but meanwhile WSR prefers to spend its time playing WvW than GvG.

Because of this basic math with example numbers, not actual ones.

WSR is 80 wvw player total. GH is 100 wvw players total. That’s a force ratio of 4/5 => 0.8

A 20v20 GvG is requested. That means 60 wvw players for WSR, 80 for GH. That’s a force ratio of 3/4 => 0.75.

So when you ask for a GvG, you actually ask that we give you a number advantage on the actual WvW game.

I was level 39 fractal and I played a level 42 to get to level 40. I play with pugs to level myself then I level my guildies. This way we play only even-numbered fractal levels. So this one was with pugs.

So people were happy to see a guardian in the group. I told the group that it was my first 40+ fractal. They said “np” and only asked my AR (45).

We played the three fractals normally. No big deal, the group was good, it was nearly a formality. Then Maw happened and it was awful.

The group kept shouting at me, giving me contradictory orders. I was surprised to even get automatically downed with the first agony hits. Well, when you go from 9x 1% life-total hits to 9x 18%, it’s understandable. But I was completely lost, no one gave any clue, and I did nothing special from my 20+ and 30+ runs. I took some initiative, like using my elite (Renewed focus, giving invulnerability) on the second agony hits, without much success.

So how to play Maw fractal 40+ as a guardian? Guardian are heavily requested in those levels, that means that we are supposed to do something special. What is that? Is there a fractal guide for levels 40+ that I should read?

Also… please, no video: I don’t want to reproduce your play, I want to understand what I need to do. I’ll accept videos only if it’s with text as explanation like this one for the volcano fractal boss.

So during the Sylvari story named “A Tangle of Weeds”, as a Ranger, my pet wasn’t present. I finished this part without much trouble, but it was annoying that my pet simply wasn’t there as I heavily rely on it.

For us European, we don’t know which country is in which timezone and timezones are bit annoying by moments as we aren’t used to them as the US are. So for a central time we can organize international guilds, please add an option to show the UTC time instead of the server time (which is in the US, apparently) and the personal computer time.

Well, this is explained by two holidays in a row in France. Next week GH should be rolling again.

Yes, today is holiday in France. Tomorrow too.

To DAT [MM] ranger with a jaguar: good job! Several times during the week you got us 1v2 or 1V3. I know your build and I love it. I theorically know how to best you, but in practice I couldn’t do it even once. Great job! Among all the dead you made, you have your fan club! :-)

We have more and more players, so that’s good. But we lack new guilds. We’re nearly never in queues (it happens once or twice a week for 10m max, and not especially on reset) and we have some good organized fun thanks to the common voice communication tool (which is still buggy for me, but I’m told it’s my network, not the software).

Runiir.6425:

You build tanky to take the hits when they come, not to purposefully get hit.

This. This is exactly the summary of this whole topic!

CHIPS.6018:

You only get these kind of fights, organization, teamwork and tactics at higher tiers.

Apparently, you don’t fight Arborstone in EU T8. They come until the queue is full then you wipe them with less than half their guys. The good thing is that they come back again and again giving you tons of loot. The bad is that they don’t reward you much WXP…

Scootus.3251:

A little embarrassing for Arbor in their borderlands tonight wouldn’t you say? We’ve decided we like your bay so much we are thinking of decorating.

I’m thinking about Humiliation dye. It would be nice in AS BL, wouldn’t it?

Eolehyene.9084:

You have your strats, we have ours, don’t come here to say witch play-style we must have.

I’m not here to tell you how to play, but rather to stop complaining, because AS’ interpretation of the scores is incorrect. Also, I gave you the reason why you badly interpret the scores.

I love how AS say they get focused 90% of the time and they prove it with current numbers of points. What I see, myself, is that, unlike AS, WSR actually cares about defending its borderland. I kill hundreds and hundreds of opponents, I get killed dozens of times, yet I play only in my BL. So how is this possible if we don’t defend what’s ours?

AS, stop using the flawed system of Anet to say that GH, Dzagonur and RoF all focus on you when all you do is attack and not defend. Because yes, attacking grants you point on the short term, but you seem to forget that defending grants you points on the long term. While you don’t learn that, please avoid the “they all focus us” complains.

Let’s all wear weapons and armor skins from level 15 then \o/

Zacchary.6183:

This includes:

• Recruitment Attempts
• Successful Recruitments
• Bosses Slain

• Guild Bank and Treasure trove deposits/withdrawls

My privacy > your desire to control me

Blow it off completely by buying what you like. Keep like 5 gold. Then start again.

3) General noob unfriendliness. This game makes it very hard for new players. Important concepts go unexplained virtually forever. If you don’t have friends to ask, you may as well just quit.

I strongly disagree. GW2 is my first MMO ever. I had no problem whatsoever to understand the game and the mechanics. Maybe you mean specifically-GW2-noob-with-a-MMO-history then? Then the problem isn’t GW2, but the others MMO that have convolutions and you are used to those.

Shadow, I’ve a character level 32. I’m leveling a second character. All the fractals I play with that second character are 14+, even though she’s level 9 currently. You can definitely avoid the low levels.

Here’s my top 10. Two of those are cities.

1. Caledon Forest
2. Queensdale
3. The Grove
4. Frostgorge Sound
5. Diessa Plateau
6. Wayfarer Foothills
7. Mount Maelstrom
8. Bloodtide Coast
9. Lornar’s Pass
10. Black Citadel
