Guild Wars 2

As far I know, you can farm Aetherblades in the Gendarran jumping puzzle, there are the vets in Edge of the Mists and the Aetherblade Twilight Arbor path.

And mined from the home instance Sprocket Generator, but that only gives 1-2 blade shards a day.

Suggested a while ago but there was little feedback to it

Why need a vendor? The TP can have limits to min-max offer. Currently such a system exists in part, where you can’t list certain items for a lot cheaper, say 1c because the price you set has to be above minimum value. It shouldn’t be that hard to put an exact numbers figure for max listing price to items on TP, maybe different max. values per item rarity, so legendaries can stay in the thousand gold figures if they want to, while exos should not.

Personally I’d like to see them made like cities. Costs to wp from outside map, free on map. But I know hell has better odds of freezing over than this happening…

but im not sure how big the community is right now

You’re in luck. It’s more crowded than ever thanks to Megaservers. Sarcasm implied just in case it doesn’t translate well through text. Low settings recommended for optimal gameplay, especially during World Boss events.

PvP not very balanced unfortunately, poor little rank 21 fresh dolyak and I’m often up against phoenix or dragon ranked players. Downed a few so I guess hundreds more matches over me doesn’t always reflect experience. Or maybe they were having a bad day. If you go into PvP, just do it with an open mind and a “win some, lose some” mentality.

It depends on the item. If it’s something that sells for -10c less to highest buyer as opposed to lowest seller, I go with highest buyer. This usually applies to the evercommon mats.
If something has a several silver difference between highest buy and lowest sell, such as t6 mats, then I tend to place near the lowest sell, with around 5c cheaper.
I don’t really dabble with high value items, been praying to the TP gods to buy that Wintersbark I put on sale over a month ago and it’s still there :/

New legendaries are bound to come out when precursor crafting is released, it’s only logical, and precursor crafting won’t be released in the near future.

I only started playing last august and since then I don’t recall seeing any single minis sold for 400 gems, just the usual limited 3-pack for 500. I bought it cause I’m a sucker for baby minis, they’re just too cute, but I hope this doesn’t mean the start of overpriced single minis sales I much prefer the 3-pack set with the occasional option to forge them into a 4th exclusive.

I’d much rather they address the many megaserver issues currently disrupting gameplay for so many players before they focus on new content.

Tomoyo that was changed months ago. Minis no longer deposit with the rest of your collectibles if you choose the option to “deposit all” from the little wheel. Only way to remove them from inventory now is to actually click on each mini and deposit.

I’ve always wondered why this doesn’t exist. You’re still putting 4 sup. at the risk of getting 1 sup. rng which could might well be a useless one. And prices are indeed ridiculous when most majors cost more than half the superior ones.
And it might offer some use to dungeon runes/sigil that come soulbound.

A solution to temples could be to track daily temple bonus chest. This is awarded once a day for account. Previously you could do a temple on several characters but the game knew to track you were only eligible for the bonus chest once.

What I’m trying to say if such a sorting system were possible, someone who hasn’t done say temples in Malchor’s Leap that day, upon zoning to ML get sent to a new map shard that identifies they haven’t done the temples and sets the map to spawn say Dwayna pre-event in the next 15 min, and using that timeframe for filling the map with other players flagged for no temples that day in the zone. Best compromise I can think of, since one temple run a day is better than none.

MithranArkanere.8957:

Otherwise, the more characters you have, the more of a chore unlocking all traits becomes.

Yeah, looks like they don’t want to sell char slots anymore. My friend and I had plans to reroll some classes on different races before this patch, now neither of us wants to do so anymore with this unreasonable trait unlock system. And this coming from someone with 10 char slots currently, 5 of which were bought and paid for from gemstore. Glad I had 6 80s prior to this and some traits unlocked on my 2 mid-40s to not have to worry. Just getting the temple/boss ones are proving difficult to unlock on all 6 of the 80s. No clue what the situation would be for my unplayed level 2 though.

9 characters, of which 6 are 80s
Only 1 (first char) has 100% map completion.

They definitely need to polish this megaservers thing before focusing on new content. Player left, players are leaving and no amount of new content will bring them back if the systems remain the same, where you can’t team up with your guild mates or even join on those partied with.

I can see you’re confused, though I really can’t see why. They said 1-15 zones. Then feedback collecting. The initial feature patch rolled out at midnight EU time. By next morning half the maps were on megaserver. Less than 12h later. I can’t imagine they got a lot of feedback from the EU playerbase in that timeframe to encourage rolling out on half the maps in-game besides the initial 1-15. Then a week later, last night, all maps are Megaserver, with all the feedback posted in all these threads. And the official list isn’t yet updated to reflect the real state of the game https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Megaserver-Rollout-Update/

Wanze.8410:

I think its good that Anet actually waits a bit to collect enough feedback before deciding to react on it.

Yes, they’ve collected dozens of threads, hundreds of pages and thousands of posts with feedback, and they decided to continue rolling Megaserver onto all maps, without as much as an official announcement of this change. Color me impressed they’re collecting all this feedback.

Am I the only one feeling this could, in the long run, lead to sub-par builds? Like players just unlocking whatever traits they find easier to do without factoring in how efficient those may be given their equipped stats and weapon choices?

Kurr.4179:

As it stands, I’m considering quitting Guild Wars 2 over megaservers. I’m only on because I enjoy my guild, but ANet essentially destroyed 3/4 of what I enjoyed in this game in one go.

I’m in the same boat. There’s hardly anything I can do anymore of the things I enjoyed. Even logging just for dailies feels like a drag these days. My responsibilities to my guild are pretty much the only thing keeping me from uninstalling right now. And plenty I know have already left. GW2 in its current state is failing to serve its purpose, to provide entertainment through gaming, all it does is annoy its long-time playerbase. I really cannot see them gain new players at the cost of all the vets lost, plenty with deep pockets and frequent gemstore purchases.

Static gathering nodes so I can harvest again https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Suggestions-Compromise-for-harvesters/

In short, yes.

Combination NC.9813:

I miss doing the Frozen Maw event and being able to see anything. I miss being able to do my favourite event in the game, opening the temple of Dwayna— now it is always open when I check, and there is no way to track when it is up. I miss doing temple runs and world boss trains. I miss knowing where the gathering nodes were. I miss being able to do guild missions without trouble. I miss running into my guildmates on maps. I miss the guildies that have stopped playing due to this update. I miss being able to waypoint where I wanted, without the majority of waypoints showing as contested at all times. I miss being able to tag events. I miss seeing events— with so many people everywhere, nothing is almost ever up.

I miss being able to play the game I used to play it; with my friends, without constant fear of harassment, roleplaying and catching our favourite events.

This sums up how I feel about the game right now. There’s a lot that’s missing.
I used to run Orr harvest in the morning over coffee. Something fun to casually pass time for an hour before I kicked into work-mode for the rest of the day. That’s gone now. While running ML harvest I’d hear Malchor yelling “Dwayna” from across the map and be able to catch a temple at the same time. Then the world train would arrive and I could visit Maw, Caledon wurm, Behe, Melandru & such in succession for another hour of fun. That’s gone. I’d have to arrange my working schedule around Anet’s boss timers to do so and I obviously can’t. Guild missions are a farce if you need to group, disband, and regroup with others to join on instance, on a timer, in order to complete them. The map chat is vile. I happened to load my thief into Cursed Shore today and someone shouted for wizard at Arah. There was a commander led group doing Melandru on map. I went to help at Arah, knowing I’d need the tied-in trait on this char. Upon completion all there was on map chat and whispers from others spewing words like kitten, idiot, and other stuff that’s not worth bringing up. I gave up my 2nd legendary, sent all my stockpiled mats to a guildie to help them along on the legendary path and nearly at the point of uninstalling altogether, as there’s not much to do for me anymore aside from having conversations with my guildies at this point.

I’m just here wishing and hoping they can address some of these concerns the community has, restore the game to what it was, but it is alarming that there’s little to no response to it all. While we got dozens of threads and hundreds of posts on how the current system is broken, with more cons than pros, they just went ahead and made more maps Megaservered last night, with total disregard to the feedback given.

Cursed Shore got ninja megaserver with the last patch. It’s not in any release note, but if go to harvest on 3 chars I get 3 layouts, it’s megaservered.

You should contact support and they might be able to unlock the skins for you, but it may be a long shot as they changed gemstore purchase history to only show the last 3 months as I recall.

Tips to anyone wanting the dyes. Wait a week. The market will be flooded with them and you can buy them at a reasonable cost of 20-30g. Or post your buy orders in that price range, it’ll get filled eventually.

Not to hijack this thread OP, but I could also use tips on selling Wintersbark. I crafted it a month ago, listed for 300, got undercut several times for 5g+ with the item now selling at 250. Highest buy is 170, but that really doesn’t even cover the cost of crafting between the 1000 ancient planks, 250 ori ingots, 50 corrupted and 50 glacial lodes. With the wardrobe addition I imagined it would be more highly sought, especially since it’s the skin of ele’s conjured Frost Bow, but nope.

People are kittened off now for the value of useless items they get with a 125gems key purchase. Now imagine the waves of rage if someone spent 125gems just to get nothing at all, but a say Broken Lockpick http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Broken_Lockpick one could vendor for 2c.

The issue is with the loot-table and how some RNG outputs can be a total waste for someone. I couldn’t count the times I got a combination of the following items: scroll of knowledge, crafting/killstreak booster, essence of luck, mystery tonic. Which are all completely useless to me. Crafting maxxed. Scrolls rain on me everyday, and I don’t even champ train, just from dungeon chests. Killstreak I’m not even gonna go there, it’s that bad. Essence of luck should have never been added to the loot pool in the first place.

If they kept the more valuable items and added some more exclusive items apart from the occassional LW miniature for limited time, more people would buy them for sure.

Edge of The Mists. You can get an easy 100k karma for 2h there with a boost, more if stacked from various sources (infusion/guild/booster/banner). Also a great source of champ bags, especially since those in PvE have had quite a few changes done. The champ bags can net you a nice stack of Scrolls of Knowledge for skill points, along with extra SP for each level bar progress, which works even on level 80 chars.

I’m not in-game, but last I checked it was in the 680 numbers, maybe 700-ish now.

Jonathan, there is no karma gain for dungeons anymore, unless you stumble upon the one odd Drip of Liquid Karma (150) in a champ box or do the Bonus Events, which most people skip.

I too would like some karma brought back to dungeons, especially with ascended weapons and a lot more uses for obsidian shards. Only reliable way to get quick karma these days is trains in EotM.

I’ve made a thread with a solution to the constant resets and different instances brought with the MegaServer release that are currently making harvesting awful. Please post your thoughts here https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Suggestions-Compromise-for-harvesters/

I don’t know about other servers, but on Gandara inactive Melandru statues trigger brambles. Makes it impossible to get certain skill points, such as the one in CS by the pact cannon on the isle of Grenth.

Any way we could see a special promotion relisting all Finishers that were on sale in the BLTC in the past?

With the on-going S2 of WvW and the revamped PvP system, this seems like a perfect time to do it!

I know I’m one, with the revamped PvP and reward track system I’ve gotten a taste of it and having a good time with my guildies, I’d like a fun and light finisher to use in combat, but I’ve already missed out on so many options. Bring them back, even if only for one day, I can’t be the only one who’d like to pick one up.

Thank you, it’s nice to see I’m not the only one who’d like to find a solution for harvesting.

Not really alt-friendly with the trait unlocks though Hard to find the events up to run on even 1 char

Bump. I’d really like some thoughts on this. If there’s enough interest maybe they’ll consider it.

I’m here to suggest a compromise to aid harvesters get their daily t6 nodes now that the Megaserver has gone on to expand to Orr and all nodes are randomized. But first let me preface this as to why it’s important to me (and many other players) to gather our ancient and orichalcum.

2 weeks ago I crafted Winterbark. I consider that no small accomplishment as that sells for 300+g on TP. I gathered all 3000 logs that were refined into 1000 planks needed to create the 250 short-bow staves.

It wasn’t easy, it’s not raining ancient nodes, there’s a total of (2+4+4=)10 among Orr maps and Frostgorge. On average that’s 30-40 logs per character per day. Orichalcum not in a better deal. There are 12 nodes (2+5+5) between FS and ML + CS. They reward an average of 40 ori ores per character per day.

Now let’s look at iron. If I want iron I can go Kessex, Gendarran, Harathi, Lornar, Brisban, Snowden, Dredgehaunt, Fields of Ruin, Diessa Plateau. That’s 9 maps. Each map has at least 20 ore veins, usually with 2-3 rich ones. Can be harvested again an hour later.

Let’s look at platinum. Can be harvested from Bloodtide, Sparkly, Mount Maelstrom, Timberline, Iron Marches, parts of Fireheart. Each map contains 2-3 rich nodes. Can be harvested again after an hour or so.

Now back to the topic at hand. Currently gathering these t6 mats is quite hard given the varying instances one can land in, where nodes are randomized. We can’t rely on node maps nor have any assurance we’d land in the same instance in case we’d like to have a secondary character collecting some mats aswell.

So here’s the simple solution: make t6 nodes only (orichalcum, ancient, omnom, orrian truffle) shared across all megaserver instances/shards but have them randomize globally once a day on daily reset.

The nodes would change frequently enough to prevent botting and go a long way in helping those of us with little disposable gold income that would prefer putting some time into harvesting than buying from TP. We’d just rely on one universal node map we’d update everyday, and we’d be able to keep the TP supply in check as well, before prices shoot through the roof.

Awarded in PvE for doing level 70+ Personal Story. I can tell you for certainty I got the chest on my ranger at lvl77 story quest.

You missed this:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Game-Updates-Guild-World-Events-Megaservers-WvW/page/5#post3915670

Obviously the language mess isn’t how it was intended to work – they actually stated the opposite.

Zoejo I understand your good intentions, but Anet is based in NA and there’s no official statement from them reassuring us, EU players, that this was a mistake and they’re hard at work fixing it. You can’t really blame people for voicing their opinions on something that disrupts the game for them. I do hope it’s a mistake that is pending improvements, before a vast majority pack up and leave.

The Megaserver isn’t pairing people as it’s supposed to. Or maybe it is, but we were told differently. The construct of it may work for NA, where both US citizens and canadians speak the same language, but it’s a chat nightmare in EU. Was running to Orr on my fresh 80 mesmer tonight and saw a comm tag up at Lyssa. I joined up only to find my chat flooded with both [map] and [say] messages in foreign languages. I was no longer on Gandara, but on a weird blend of all EU servers, with Piken, Drakkar, Gunnar and others in the mix. We succeeded in the event, but there was a clear language barrier that wasn’t helping coordination. Good luck doing Tequatl or Tri-wurm in this formula! This is pushing everyone out of their comfort zone, with english speaking players fed up with foreign chat and foreigners equally unhappy forced to speak another language than what they have on their servers for nearly 2 years. The Megaserver map matchmaking needs some serious tweaking.

The weapon transmutation panel does not perceive slot II, swap weapon. I use Sword/Axe on slot I and Longbow on II. I was trying to skin the bow, but all I got were sword/axe skins. Closed transmutation panel, swapped on longbow, I’d still only see sword/axe skins. I had to remove my sword and axe and move my equipped longbow to slot I in order to transmute onto it. Not sure if bug or designed this way, but it can be confusing at first. In a bind over transmuting underwater weapons too.

Scratch that. After reading a few other posts I was able to locate the BL Armorsmith that returned all these items.

You can also get a lot of T6 mats if you wish to gamble with clovers.

Here’s the problem with this. When I needed Clovers, I would get mostly T6 mats. So then I finished my Legendary, and decided to do some gambling. When I need T6 mats, I would get mostly Clovers. RNG is evil.

Yeah, getting the same now as I’m working on my 2nd legendary. Some of my T6 stacks are over 100+ from trying for clovers, while my clovers are only like 40 atm. Last forge I tried 20 times for the ectos I had, got 1 clover. They say it’s 1 in 3, 33% chance, but it doesn’t seem like it to me.

Likely after. If people get piles on unidents from alts copies, they’ll likely open to collect their missing ones. Those that land an Abyss might decide to sell so the price may drop. But I wouldn’t expect to go down a lot. Maybe dip to 20g but I can’t see Abyss or Celestial any cheaper than this.

I recommend visiting http://argos-soft.net/GW2/ArmorGallery/ , you can select heavy armor and your character’s race and gender to see how different armor sets would look on your character.

Hope that helps

This happened only a few weeks ago. Needed a few ectos so I thought of using dungeon tokens to buy rares to salvage. Wasted 600 AC tokens only to find out the rares I bought were level 35. No ectos and no more tokens. Yay me.

Kyraios it took me 4 months to finish my legendary. It wasn’t easy, it takes time and dedication in sticking to your goal. Mine was Kudzu so I realize in a way quite cheaper than yours, but a guildie made Twilight in about roughly the same time so it’s possible. On the last leg of it, final 2 weeks I was scrapping for karma as I had everything else ready.

First save gold towards pre. Every little thing helps. You should be safe with a buy order of 800g. If you’re lucky, by the time you have the g to afford it, you may get it for less, in the 750g range. It fluctuates quite a bit as the supply is ever increasing due to a lot of people throwing rare GSs in Forge with the double precursor chance. Don’t gamble yourself, unless you are willing to take the risk of it costing you double to get it this way.

Once pre is done work on mats. You get a decent stockpile of T6 from crafting the 77 clovers, I do them in singles and quite often get stacks of 3-4 of any given T6 mat needed. If you’re terribly unlucky with clovers like me, you should have about 100 of each easily by the time clovers are done. You can finish the stacks after with buy orders. I used to get 10-15 of one type a day and in a matter of weeks I had my Gift of Fortune complete! Don’t farm mats as the returns are pretty poor. Even from a temple run, you can get like 30 moldy bags from trash risen and only get like 1 t6 and 29 t5. It’s happened to me. The T6 drops are bad.

And I wasn’t really rolling in cash or gold to do any of this. I made about 10g a day from selling orichalcum and ancient wood from triple character harvest runs (takes 1h), along with parting with mats I didn’t need (food, orbs) for a bit of extra income at the end of a week. I’d do the occasional dungeon and get the 1.5g, but I’m not an avid dungeon runner unless my guildies call me for one.

I’m guessing it will continue to be a split chance between trans.charge/BL key for the 3rd reward.

It’s not breaking any rules. If anything, building a small guild bank, whether personal or with one or two friends, serves as a gold sink considering the only means of building it in due time is to buy influence to run the researches and unlocks. And it’s not that much different from using said gold to exchange for gems for a (much smaller) bank tab unlock.

And yes, sadly they don’t transfer over (yet) with their member(s), but they seem to want to make the guild stuff cross-dimension with the incoming megaserver.
