Daily Worthless Actions & Daily Achievements

I do believe that part of the purpose of the dailies being all over the place is to break daily routines and get people moving.

This is not so easy to answer, as everyone wants different things. But I’ll tell you what I’d put on the ‘do list’ for a new lvl 80 character.

  • Gear exotic, consider Ascended jewellery if enough laurels.
  • Finish story if not yet done.
  • Explore the World.
  • Take part in the current activities (for now Dry Top and Silverwastes)
  • Check if there are collections or achievements that can be done.
  • Do dungeons if the opportunity knocks.
  • Try to save up some gold…

I have already maxed all crafts, so I am not doing that. But for someone who hasn’t that is something to do. Especially if Ascended gear is wanted.

World completion will never happen for me.

Garambola.2461

When I did world completion on my NA account, I had a goal of getting one vista, one waypoint, one PoI and one skillpoint every day. That did not take very much out of my day and often I got more done accidentally. If the area ran out of any of the variety, I had less “obligatory” exploring to do.

I did this with a completely new character starting at lvl 2. I did the capitals first and then all the starter areas. I also played the story if it was in the area. Having done that, my char was at lvl 32.

Then I moved to the next tier of areas and so on. I also kept my eye on WvW, so I could get new stuff completed when the server changed colour.

You have plenty of time to get this done. I bet even if you put 15 min a day to it, you’ll have the completion before HoT comes out.

Newbie here, clarity on server transfers?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Garambola.2461

Garambola.2461

Yes, you can transfer for free if you delete all characters.

Yes, there is the waiting period between transfers. (But you only want to transfer once, right?)

Yes, you can see the status of all servers from you character login screen. It says ‘World Selection’ on the low left.

You have a bank. To access the bank go to any capital city and look for an icon that looks like a coin pouch/sack. Also all crafting stations work as banks.

Good luck on joining us on TC! Though unless you are really into WvW, any NA server lets you play with your friend.

Personal Bank Gold Changes?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Garambola.2461

Garambola.2461

Did they actually say back then there was going to be a fix? My remembrance is that they said it as a workaround to the people who were unhappy but there wouldn’t be any changes.

Perhaps you can post the quote where they said they would put in a fix.

No. They said there would be no fix. Which explains why people stopped complaining about it for the most part. The guild bank works, but it is scary. Should the account get hacked anything taken from the guild bank would be lost forever. Oh, and guild bank can only hold 3000 gold. (Not that I have anything near that much.)

[Suggestion] Curly Hair styles

Curly hair is beautiful. Unfortunately to make it look good in 3 D takes a lot of polygons. Games try to minimize polygons, because they slow the game down.

I have not checked just now but blue lvl 20 gear is usually quite inexpensive.

What do you guys think the price will be?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Garambola.2461

Garambola.2461

Personally I, of course, hope that it is not terribly expensive as I’ll need to purchase four copies. The difference between 40€ and 50€ is not very much, but between 160€ and 200€ it is significant to me. If the price is high it probably means I’ll only buy two and wait for a sale for the other two.

Crafting for Others (Ascended/Soulbound)

Posted by: Garambola.2461

Garambola.2461

They really do not want to take the time, energy, and money (or simply do not have the time, energy, or money) to sink into ascended gear, but they love the skins.

Said no one ever.

Ascended skins are some of the ugliest skins out there. The only reason people run around with them is to show off that they have ascended gear or they are too lazy to change the skins.

I like ascended skins…especially the medium armor.

I like most of the Ascended Weapon skins and several parts of armor though not the whole suit of any weight.

Perhaps it is a translation. Mursaat in their languge could mean exalted.
Or it could be the name for a special faction of the Mursaat or vice versa.

Living World Season 2

Posted by: Garambola.2461

Garambola.2461

Here is the full list of the chapters and their rewards:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Living_world#Season_2

Personally I probably would go for the things needed for Mawdrey and Mawdrey 2. My bank finally has some room after I got that hungry little plant. And an ascended backpack is pretty neat too.

If you really love Luminescent Armor, you might want to go for the episodes that give rewards required for that.

Other than the rewards, you can play though the episodes with someone who has them open. It gives you the chance to experience the story, which is nice as it ties to Heart of Thorns. In no way is doing LS 2 required to continue playing, the world is there for all players.

New Dye Selection Tab

Posted by: Garambola.2461

Garambola.2461

A little improvement would be to replace the Padlock icon with an image of a Gem for those dyes only available from the gem store.
It would make it that bit easier to see where I need to look for the relevant missing dye.

I don’t think there are dyes only available in Gem Store. As far as I know they all can be sold on TP.

But this is not a case of inside trading. These representatives of the media do not gain anything by having the knowledge except being able to prepare their piece for the day it can be released to the public. I for one am waiting to hear what they have to say.

Your mistake is using cumulative calculations. Each event in the Mystic Toilet is independent of others made. The chance is always the same, tiny one.

I am sorry you wasted your time on that thing instead of waiting to see what will be required to craft the one you wanted.

Just started as a thief asura. But its good to know there are people. Thanks for the answer!

The Asura starting region is one of the most quiet ones. Undeservedly as the NPCs there are very funny. Asura is a fun race to play too. The tutorial zone is almost empty, not that many new Asura are created at the same time. Metrica has people, but it is big. The Fire Elemental World Event draws a crowd every two hours, so the mapchat gets more lively then too.

I am the ‘sort’ that would like it. Guild Halls are likely not for those in 3 member guilds, after all. I never played Wildstar, the theme does not interest me at all, but all I ever heard of their housing was that it is excellent.
