Guild Wars 2

i think regardless of how many achievement points u have, if ur not paying attention and assisting ur fellow party members then i think they have a right to kick.

I have been in a large number of parties where the instructions on how to approach a certain part was explained over and over again. in the end 1 of 2 things normally happen, the individual leaves or is kicked.

I am sorry, but if ur not sure about how to do a certain part in a area, research the dam thing (heaps of resources and only takes 3 mins) OR ask at the very least what to do if u dont know – yes i know u may be kicked when u ask – trick is to ask at the start of the instance/dung. not 3/4 of the way through.

But OP does have a point, black listed should mean – cant see for anything whisper,lfg, etc

actually the gameplay is very similar to Requiem momento mori, nightmare mmorpg- i think its called. similar attack and moving, but no dodging unless its skilled/traited kind of thing.

i actually had 154×10, 36×50 and 2×100.

after using the artificer crafting and upgraded them, i only had to click a fraction of the above…..

Only saves you from getting RIS later rather than sooner, so more playing time! wooo, oh wait…

oh oh i got a new one.

I’m so Fluffly!

1650 hours here, just over 10k achiev, not 1 piece of ascended armor yet – 5x lvl 80 chars working on the other 3.. +2 more for cosmetic purposes

Can’t get enough of this game – started PvP only about 3 months ago and enjoying it more so.

Started to work on a legendary only in the last 3 weeks….

only done 1 story completed on 1 char – still need to do the others…..

and who can not say they have fun in WvW when zergs clash!

Get in my Kitty!

lol remove stacking and lets see how many times u will attempt a dung run not to mention get more players in the instance since ppl rage and leave after attempting the same thing for the last 30 mins……

what if the collection increase item was discounted to say 600 gems?

Who would be buying it then?

I know i will – hint hint anet – please for the xmas time discount this! wheres ur xmas spirit eh!???

spreadsheet still has a problem, if i dont update it, then it wont have the correct information. eg; being too lazy to update doesnt help either!

Could of at least be discounted for the festive season!!!

You can try and argue semantics if you want, but you’re just showing that you’re close minded.

I wasn’t trying, I was actually doing it.
Calling me close minded for it is just insulting.
Regardless of how you word it, one of your characters is your main.
No matter how exacting or equal you think you are being with each of your character’s playtime, one of them has been played longer than all the rest.
Even if only by a minute, even if only by a second.
Denying this is a bit like saying that the numbers 2-10 have nothing to do with the number 1, and saying “most people dont even use 1…is that even a number?”

i think a better argument to put forward would be the following:

Make use of the /age command ingame.
The char which has the most hours against it, clearly is your “Main” character since it has been played the most regardless of the difference to your alts, being 1 minute or 1 hour difference.

I too fall into this, i have 10 chars, 1 main and 9 alts – i say this because i have spent well over 700+ hours on my human war and the rest of my 1600 is spent across all my others. i do switch depending on my feeling in the day but in the end i also go back to my “main”,.

im sitting at the 485 area, but i only have just gotten my 10k chest. Since you have 4 more chests than me, i would say i am not far behind at all..

Since there is 2 of us, i am sure there will be many more players with the same

couldn’t they at least give us 1 of these in the 10k achievement chest – for accomplishing sooo much of their game? and then if we wanted to – can purchase the remaining 2 from the gem store?

of course the ability to deposit more while on the battlefield means less time to go to your bank/vendor/guild bank to empty the bags out. i purchased the full inv slots for my main but even still need to go back to base every now and then…. couldn’t they at least give a little as well…… im not asking for all 3 for free – just 1 as apart of a achievement chest. maybe 15k instead of the 10k or something along those lines..

dont forget the achievement chests, its not much that you get from them but can save you a few completing a few dailies….

Maybe if they increased the laurels you get from each chest might be a little more helpful..

Exxcalibur.6203:

Players will also gravitate towards these kinds of simple mindless loot opportunities when they are in the game.

Unfortunately, this leaves many other engaging group events in the world untouched and other zones desolate.

While I applaud the players resilience for staying with such a dull manifestation of the game, I feel Anet should take an approach akin to paternalism* and remove the Queens zerg, in order to force change and diversity.

This may upset some players, who feel they should be able to play how they want to play, but sometimes the world demands an authority or organization to guide us gently towards perfection.

Who is with me?

NB:

**"Paternalism" comes from the Latin pater, meaning to act like a father, or to treat another person like a child, limiting some person or group’s liberty or autonomy for their own good.

Some ppl just seem bent on destroying this game.

Funny i should come across this, yesterday there was 2 characters with that special anet icon on their names running the said Queens Champ train.

So thanks for destroying yet another way to make gold in this game by complaining about it. You all realize that for any new comers that arrive they will not see the likelihood of a legendary unless they farm non stop dung runs… TP is saturated and controlled, WvW slower than Dung to make $$, whats left?

every week theres someone complaining about something in the game, can we pull threads like this out of the discussion area and just put a new area called “my kitten for the day”

Can we get someone from Anet to confirm the exact time please?

not sure if this is the correct area, couldn’t find anything on it…

Account bonuses – i’ve opened 2 chests yet all i see is +1% MF, could of sworn the 2nd chest had another +1% to something, anyway to check if 1 of these is missing??

I hope u r all correct in the above comments… but didnt the fotm stuff when it came out have similar wording??!?!?

Hopefully it is like the HoM system…

However now the question lies in "is it possible to get everything? "

Im under the impression that even with all ap accumulated u could only get so much. Unless it is an unlocking system to which at maxed out ap everything will be available…

Hopefully the heavy set is the first one to come then over the following weeks there will be a light and med version…

This is where a years worth of dailies/monthly need to be made available in order to give the opportunity for new starters to catch up. Cap it in years worth, im sure some sort of selection thing can be made to select which day/month u can work on.

Also daily/monthly needs to be capped in the sense of how many items are required. Once u get 5/5 then the other items cannot be completed. Im pretty sure there are already players out there that have done all the daily items not just the 5/5.

This has been an idea since the beginning, I can recall anet stating they were going to do something with AP. But now that they have, they better make these adjustments otherwise they will be alienating both new and current players.

The only factor here to have been taken into consideration is “time” and it looks as though anet have misinterpreted it and it better be fixed immediately.

Yeah I dont think there is any courtesy going on with these at all. Seems to be a every man for himself mentality.

Myself and a guildie were farming them. 1 player started to follow us and I did the right thing and waited for him to reach the node prior to activating but on the next node the player was able to reach the node and destroy the mobs before myself or my guilie could reach it. Once that happened I made sure to get to each node and destroy the mobs before that player arrived.

Im sorry but if the favour is not returned do not expect mercy. Check ur surrounding before activating…. it takes a whole 2 seconds to scroll around.

Also I agree making them each each character instanced based so that each player has the same chance to farm. Could of sworn previous events like this didnt hinder other players.

This is amazing… I cannot believe 10 pages of this.. time and time again we see this.

Me fellow guildies r u all esl people? No offence intended.
But unless it says “contains 1 ticket inside” or “a jade weapon skin inside” or something along the lines of with these certain words; contains, inside, provided, given, free, permanent, 100%, reward. Just some key words to look for when purchasing something if ur unsure if its chance ur buying or an actual item.

Also for all of u that did purchase gems with rl $$$$ to spend on coffers. I say a big THANKYOU.

U r the ones fueling anet constant updates with events like this.

Also I am happy to recieve all items and gold of all quiting players. Same ingame name.

Forgive me for saying this but wouldn’t u have bought 1 coffer and seen if they have a ticket in them and then decide to purchase more depending on the result?

If u put ur hand over a fire and get burnt do u do it again?

I like the above idea. PvP ranking seems to be account based. I believe WvW shouldn’t be any different.

Also just a question with these rank up chests. Can they give a guarantee of 3 items? Eg: badges, blueprint and chance of an item from that list?

When ranking up my mesmer 3 levels all I received was just badges and nothing eslse.

Lol.. cant help but not laugh at all of this.

Here we are yet again, 10 months has it been? And yet the talk of legendary wages on like a battle cry in the distance of a long war saying “its not over yet!”

Like many of u I have wasted gold into the mf sink.
And after soo many hours 1000+ after soo much reading after so much frustration. I have just decided to just play and have fun.

We should be learning from others mistakes however the thrill of chance is sometimes too good to give up.

Easiest solution is to make a precursor achievement based.

Eg: once at 9k points then that is the start of journey;
1. 100% world
2. 100k kills with particular weap.
3. New story quests once above is completed making u do at least 100 episodes.
4. Crafting all materials required. U can make some of the materials come from ONLY story episodes rewards.
5. After all above completed that will let u craft the precursor to which;
5.1. 100k kills
5.2. Story episodes at least 50
5.3. Demonstrate ur abilities with precursor via wvw eg 1000kills, camps taken, vets kills, champ kills.
6. Once above completed u can craft legendary. To which u need to destroy a champion boss solo. Making this some giant creature.

After all the above I think that should give somewhat of an entitlement to legendary status.

What do we do with those already aquired legendary. Cannot equip until all above requirements are met. Which means most will try to sell it to which we will be at the samr spot as now. However we give the rest of the user base chance to acquire over time with effort rather than gold.

Just my 2 cents worth….. thats alot of 2 cents lol imagine 2$….

But like some posted previously, its not going to change.

is this in relation to chests dropping from player/mob kills?

Or the chests from rank advancement?

-in relation to rank advancement chests, to my surprise i have just been told by support that receiving a rank up chest with just badges inside is completely normal and working as intended.

everyone i have spoken to has gotten a minimum of 3 items in a rank up chest. i also got 3 items on my warrior however when ranking up 3 lvls on my mesmer all 3 times all i received was badges.

I am sorry anet, but this one is a BIG FAIL on ur part. if i wanted badges then i’ll sit there and do the JP everyday.

how is this suppose to encourage me to play WvW more so when all i get are badges for ranking up?

Or maybe a yearly?

There is already something that goes in this direction – lifetime achievements.

When I run out of monthlies to do, I got for lifetime events completed, lifetime heals, slayer achievements, weapon mastery, etc. etc. etc… I am quite a way still from completing all (or even most) achievements out there.

Yes im aware of this.

however i was thinking more along the lines of Daily/monthly rewards to have more so of those just weekly/yearly or perhaps the option to do 5 days worth of dailies in 1 day that way the next days i log in i no longer have to dedicate 30mins to 1 hour to complete it.

Besides those life time achievements dont provide you with anything other than a title, to which to me isn’t THAT high on the priority list. i mean yes i have OCD like most of us here and HAVE to eventually complete them, but i would rather focus on those achievements that provide me with rewards to show for the effort i put in.

plus having only 1 title present on at a time depending on my feeling is a little “meh” to me hence y i run with no title most of the time – however im going off topic.

i like the idea of the rewards, anet giving us something for spending time and effort to complete parts of their game regardless how big or small.

Daily can stay at 1 laurel (regardless how many days could be completed in 1 sitting)
Weekly can be 7 days (1 for each of the days you would normally complete)
Monthly should increase to 15 -20 depending.

If the laurel item list expands (to which i believe will happen in due time) then we will need more options to attain them.

Daily and monthly.

So far thats all we have.

Any plans for a weekly? Or maybe a yearly?

If not how about being able to complete several dailies in 1 day?
I like the idea of logging in day 1 and completing 3 days worth and using the following days to do other things such as events… same goes for monthlys. Would like to get 2 or 3 months worth in the 1 month.

Also due to the fact that there will be times that we cannot log in to complete them.

Any plans for this? Would any else like something along these lines implemented?

Apologies if already a topic on this. Couldn’t find anything on this.

Verdelet Arconia.6987:

Colin, remove MF from equipments. Make it scaled to total achievement points. Capped at 10,000 achievement points. 100 achievement points = 1% MF

No more dps whining, and long term players get even more rewards. Good way to reward loyalty and effort.

A good idea… i think I support it.

As a mfer I like the above idea/approach.
I would say take it a step further and cap it for dungs as well. That way u can have gear with stats that can “benefit/contribute” more so to the group and still have mf going.

I would cap it at say 50% for dung and wvwvw.
For pve area can have that 10k max of points worth.
And when ur in a party the average of the 5 ppl can be taken when only in pve area. This would not work in dung pt.

I have a silly question.
Stupid me used the ticket to get the light version for my ele. But after several hours thought it would of been more suitable for my war…

Any chance of changing them from light to heavy??

I dont understand this constant statement of who is the more effective player. . Me the mf’er in relation to someone running powvittou… vit and tou keep him alive longer yea and my dodging and healing do the same thing. If anything I have a higher crit chance then him due to pre. So in fairness I would be more effective.

If u want to label me selfish then thats just a silly statement since I know I go above and beyond to help my friends, guildies and anyone else I can assist.

Tbh I think we r all selfish in some respects. How many of u have given items away no expecting anything in return? ?? I know I have.

To settle the effectiveness argument, I believe I’ll wait for the dung leaderboards thingy to see where I get rated after a run…

Lmao, the first page is just priceless.

Have read bits anf pieces of this thread and thought as a person who has been running mf gear since Halloween I should put my 2 cents worth in.

First some facts:
- mf is here to stay: it aint going anywhere after everyone’s time and effort to acquire the gear unless a substantial compensation is given in return if removed.

- no way will MY gear assist others in a party on the grounds of giving THEM mf chance. That is my time and effort so others can benefit from. Aahhh I dont think so. And if u think yes then guess what. Ur going to be sharing that loot u just got as well. How u like that? Hhhmmmm.

Whole point of mf gear is so I can get better loot regardless where I am or who I am with. I have been running it for so long that there is maybe a handful of times that yes other stats could of been more appropriate OR a different trait/skill setup could of assisted better. But there has been countless times where in wvw and dungs that I have survived where so called legendaries/elites have failed and I was sitting there reviving them.

So yet another complaining thread to waste time about a topic that will be forever argued until anet provide full mf calculation/result against drop table OR it removed entirely/replaced. I see the latter not happening at all.

And unfortunately there is no solution to this. Those that despise it will avoid those with it and those with it will not leave it until better drop rates/rewards…

Only reason I run it is cos I have hopes of a precursor drop or at least a farming mechanism for gold to buy one.

This will be a constant issue. Anet needs to step in and resolve this difficult problem and it has to be done very carefully. ….

lol, i like the idea of seeing who is number one.

Feel sorry for them already especially when the whole zerg comes after him/her!

Good thing i doubt anything along these lines would come into play – trying to promote working with others without having to label someone better than another i believe is the way Anet is saying “yeah, your good, now get over yourself and help others for a change”.

most games seem to be the style of – “i have the almighty sword of POWA! kneel before Zod!”

not sure if there is already a topic like this – couldn’t find one.

OK so we all know how much is needed and how to farm it and the never ending countless hours we have to put in.

however i would like to ask just a simple thing,

Can you make karma deposited/withdraw from personal bank? so that way i can share it between my own characters on my one account!?

I don’t want it tradeable on the TP – thats just going to cause Chaos. I just want to be able to share it between my own characters.

Reason i ask is because most items bought by karma are soulbound on acquire forcing me to farm karma yet again for my next character….

However i feel i can farm alot better on a specific class/geared correctly that is not my main. – and no i dont want to play that specific class all the time but would like to spread out the wealth and time/effort put into 1 character across all of them which can already be done via gold/gems but sadly not karma.

Anyone, For or Against?

Why couldn’t they just make the stuffing and glue exchangeable via the ugly items???

I have to now spend more gold on stuffing/glue from the TP if i wish to attempt at the endless tonic yet again after 10+ tries got me nothing but the simple ones…

Why didn’t you just buy it from the tp instead of throwing away 1500g?

1500 *RARE (gold) GS – just rage about the precursor roulette! this is not Legendary weapon is only nice skin weapon for the lucky ppl or for someone can buy gold via Gem shop or china!! 1M karma is easy to farm only 100% exploration are the LEGENDARY QUEST in this craft, i hope in the future Anet change the system for craft it something like BLACK MOA in GW1 will be fun, but i lost all hope for scavenger hunt.

lol – apologies for laughing at your misfortune but didn’t they patch it so only exotics gave the chance for precursor and NOT rares?

Your saying above Rare (Gold) but Rare is Yellow Not Gold. Exotics are gold. Even Anet said that certain exotics will yield a better chance to get precursor.

Way i read the reply was. Yellows (Rare) – 0 – 2% chance, Exotics (gold, plain) 2 – 5% and exotics (gold, named) 5 – 10%

I just made up those numbers but i would be guessing from all the hints given its something along those lines – but i also could of sworn the Rare part/weaps were removed with one of the patches.

Also what lvl weaps are u putting in? remember all 4 weaps lvl must average above lvl 76 in order to even start getting a chance. at least thats what i read. So if you put in 3 lvl 72 and 1 lvl 80 it will average out to be lvl 74.

But if u put in 3 lvl 76 weaps and a lvl 80 it will average out to be lvl 77. – this i believe meets the prereq to chance for a precursor.

I could be totally wrong about all the above, but thats what i have gathered from the 3 months of research on this.

QQ so rare = yellow Exotic = gold ill keep in mind !!! i put only lvl 80 yellow crafter GS on forge, so if i put 4x Gold (exotic) named in the forge my chance to take a precursor rise to 5-10% ? can you link pls the source? Ty

Lucky i said -

I just made up those numbers but i would be guessing from all the hints given its something along those lines…

do people even read any more!?

Toy Golems > Princess dolls, imo.

I agree,

Spent 500+ of the glue/stuffing – about 10+ tries. and nothing!

I was hoping to get at least 1 endless tonic after 10 tries but noooooooooo….

can we still get stuffing and glue from the repeatable events? if not then i gotta spend gold to get it via TP, thats just crazy…. i dont have that kind of gold to be spending on this over and over again!!

Yea this variance/RNG/chance thing is starting to be a real problem/issue….. is it really a big deal to have 500+ players or more running around with these tonics?

I did it! i finally did it!

I ran up that candy cane thinking dont fall DON’T Fall, got on the last pressie and jump in! didn’t touch the sides at all….

In the reward chest area for like 3 seconds and BOOM! ported to LA without letting me loot my first chest! NNNNNNNNNNNoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo….

Got the hand of it in the next 30 mins and managed to do it 2 more times to which yielded less and less results. Was the first time i completed suppose to have something of value cos if yes, Anet u better gimmi gimmi gimmi that stuff back, im not happy about that!

spent 3 days on this JP…..

Aside from above,

Lots of fun, alot easier than MK imo… didn’t like those candy canes sticking out of the towers but i guess that was a challenging part depending what camera angle you used.

Nice 3 different starting paths but i think i’ve said this before, a few more (total of 6) wouldn’t hurt either. Only 7 of us going yesterday (during my time) and we managed to get 1 on 2 platforms and the remaining 5 on the same platform several times….

I like that meet at halfway kind of thing, gets each other to kind of assisting the community (if you made if that far). Overall i would give it like a 7/10.

Pressies in center exploding sometimes first 3 rows exploded very quickly to which required u to run the the last pressie on either left or right on the first 3 rows, little difficult given the DoT on u.

But fun fun fun, boy that wind thing was a pain, had to listen out carefully since some camera angles u couldn’t see it!! lol.

Great stuff,

I like the charr in WvW

“You break it, i break you!”

Is there no chance to get any via the gifts?

if not – then yes i agree, should be able to get more frames somehow.

The princesses do seem to be the toughest xmas event mob as yet imo..

What i found that was killing me faster was that during confusion constantly hitting GS 1 with my warrior. what i found was using GS 2 would count as 1 hit of confusion dmg to me however i would do more dmg to them, same as dual axe 5, GS 3.

Its the confusion that kills u quick, having a lvl 75 mesmer as well, when using confusion u can watch ppl go down fast if they dont pay attention to how many stacks of confusion they have on them.

If all else fails run around until confusion duration ends and go back in, think that confusion from princess has like a 100- 200 range cast so dont stay to close, stick and move… looks like the stun that those moa’s do also if ur looking to evade it.

Think its working correctly…

My party of 5 dropped down to 3 of us with only 2 of us inside. Myself had left the instance and came back in to join the 2nd party member.

We spent a good hour in there smashing everything, came down to the little monkey bars/bed wire close to South west corner hiding behind a hill, after smashing it finally got the achiv….

LMAO at this thread – i see more complaints than suggestions.

firstly i just wanted to say MK JP took me 3 days to finally get – yes im not a expert skilled player living on GW2 5 hours a day! lol.

last night attempted the wintersday JP, (2nd day) got as far as the end prior to jumping on the pressies to get to the candy cane to drop down, but if it wasn’t for some fatty Charr in front of me i prob would of made it, i misjudge the pressie and fell and got stuck on the hill underneath lol.

I wouldn’t say its as hard as MK, but the timed theme is a good idea, means u need to move and move quick, not stand there and think about the jump for 2 mins, otherwise everyone would be sitting in that 1 tough spot seeing who will go first and everyone laughs at them! lol. How many vista’s we’ve seen this at like this, people just standing there?

Its a holiday JP and only lasts for a couple more weeks, so lets enjoy it.

I like the idea of 3 different paths for the starting area to midway – i would like to see maybe 5 or 6 paths of a starting area. cos 3 paths / 100 ppl still means 33 people in that starting area with snowflakes melting in about 15 seconds = alot of people having to restart it over and over due to others players in the way – yes u can’t help that, but not everyone has a super fast machine that can handle that kind of stuff and lowering the graphics for each JP is just annoying, i myself had to go from 3 screens to 1 in order to have a smooth run.

maybe with the 6 different starting paths could even have levels of difficulty eg: speak to 1 guy and he ports u to a “easy” path, other medium and another hard. making each path rewards suitable to difficulty to avoid farmers….. would have to be done very well to really avoid people saying 3 runs of this = better than 1 run of hard blah blah…

Overall very good design with great looks, camera angles could of been a little better since turning 1 way zoomed u in due to a object/building next to u but theres sometimes ways around this.

Like i said, you can open 10,000 or 100,000 – it doesn’t matter if u open 1,000,000 – chance is still chance…. no probability comes into play here.

You have to remove logic from this equation which your coming back to by stating “probability”.

the question i believe you should be asking is “Why can’t there be a RNG mystic forge recipe much like the mystic clovers for this bell? or any other event special item?”.

To be honest i think that will solve these types of issues cos at least then i know i have to match 4 items, and i can get 5 or 10 items in return so 1/5, 1/10 is better odds than 0.01% chance!

Not having a go at you Vant, just stating my knowledge having done a fair bit of programming as well as statistical numbers and seen results from formula’s from both, very interesting stuff.

I actually like the idea of RNG mystic forge stuff provided the results of those 4 items placed in can only result in <10 items, but having things opened/dropped at a rate of 0.01% (if that really is the rate its at) i just find absolutely crazy. At that rate you’ll be lucky if there is 100 in the whole guild wars 2 population….

But thats my 2 cents….. still think it sucks as many of you have stated…

Ouch! dammit! a bee just stung me!

Now was that probability or chance!?

All you people seem to be forgetting the difference between the 2 and how computer programming works.

10,000 gifts open with a 0.01% chance = i should have gotten my bell after opening 10,000 gifts….. ahhh no i dont think so – thats what is called probability out in the real world.

10,000 gifts open with a 0.01% chance = exactly the same chance EVERY TIME U OPEN ONE in computer programming terms regardless if its 10,000 or 100,000. still the same each time..

in other words – its ALL chance, nothing to do with open x amount of items and receive y item. doesn’t work that way.

At the end of the day – its what as best know as GAMBLE – where each attempt = the chance of the last one attempted and doesn’t change or become a “oh thats 1 down, 99 more to go” kind of thing…

i see it more and more – no such thing as probability in RNG, its all chance. Same goes for that sink pool/giant snow globe……

hopefully i made some sense up there…..

Just fyi i’ve opened well over 300 gifts, 2 wooden daggers, 1 candy cane hammer and 1 of those bells – not the infinite ones, just a regular one. by probability status i should of gotten more, by computer terms – i got exactly what i was suppose to…

Frustrating – Big Giant yes!!!

Think its towards the SW part of the dung up on a little hill type, the wire bed/monkey bar is like tucked behind a mountain/hill. So if ur traveling from the north part south – it will be hard to spot since line of sight.

I went into the SW corner and traveled north and found it..
