Very Minor Nitpick - LEY Lines

in Living World

Garambola.2461

Another thing that gets me is when people assume all characters out there are male.

I have seen the Karka Queen referred as ‘he’. That made me shake my head in dismay.

As for those mispelled words, my pet peeve is ‘diety’.

He is a very nice Giant. The other one is rather more aggressive. But they both have two eyes, by the way. Giants, not Cyclops.

The tags are not for the countries/nations, they are for languages. This game has five supported languages. Four for us and one for the Chinese. It is extremely unlikely that any more languages will be added. The sheer amount of work and expenses are just too high.

How many active players?

I love that answer, locoman.

I’d like to add to that that there probably were quite a few people fighting that same Dragon on the other region as well. And that a lot of people do not go to Tequatl fights at all and few more than once a day.

You know….Lordkrall’s estimate is probably pretty accurate. But we never see all the players anyway, so as long s there are enough people to complete events, what does it matter how many more are on another server or in another game?

It doesn’t matter what the combo is. You give them their personality. I sometimes enjoy studying how different two characters can be despite being the same race and class.

Making them look very different from the DE people could also help. Or choosing different weapon combinations. Don’t dress them in cuktural t3, there are other alternatives.

Each and every character can be an individual. Some things can be the same and some different.

Since you are in a French guild the megaserver takes that in account when placing you.

Order Of Whispers Light Shoulders Disappeared

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Garambola.2461

Garambola.2461

The skin for the Order of Whispers light shoulders does not show up in the wardrobe. They also cannot be bought at the headquarters. Medium and Heavy are fine.

My character is wearing the shoulder armor now, but it shows nowhere else in game. I really like the looks of this piece.

Why Mini Frostbite and not Mini Baby Devour?

You could also presume that all albino devourer babies got called Frostbites after the one that became famous. This happened to the Collie dog breed at least in my country, it became Lassie because of the moviestar dog.

Nomad Items

The new Nomad (Toughness, Healing, Vitality) recipies are more expensive than most others. I don’t have excesive amounts of gold, which makes me hesitant to buy something expensive without being sure it has a use.

So, what kind of a character would benefit from this set, please?

Question About the updates and a new start

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Garambola.2461

Garambola.2461

1. Currently the Living Story Seaon 1 storyline will be lost to you. They are hoping to bring it back someday, but not for quite some time. Right now, if you do the current Living Story stuff, you can, however, get many of the past rewards with the tokens. This opportunity only lasts until the end of the month. (Then comes the new stuff! *)

2. The difference between races is their Personal Stories and how they look and sound. Statwise they are equal. Any of them can be fun, just pick one that you like.

*New, Season 2, stuff will be permanently added to your account if you log in when it is new. If you cannot, you can later buy it with a small amount of gems.

How to report inappropriate guild names?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Garambola.2461

Garambola.2461

Umh. Guilds have been removed from the game when they had offensive names or tags. There is no actual option to report it, but latest advise I saw was to report ‘inappropriate name’. Some have taken screenshots and sent them to support, though I have no clue if that is a good idea or not.

Sharing a bow, what stats?

Thanks. This is what I have done with my own. Figured a bit more damage in the weapon couldn’t be bad. But when it is another person’s time and sweat put into the thing, I want to be sure.

My daughter is about to craft her very first Ascended Weapon, a longbow. This needs to be shared by her Ranger and Warrior for quite some time, so what would be a decent stat combination for this weapon? (The ranger is Rampager and the Warrior is still somewhat undecided.)

Help us to find the compromise, please.

Pick your class - all are the worst

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Garambola.2461

Garambola.2461

Well, I can only say one thing having played every single class: They all have their strengths and weaknesses, but they are all fun.

If you just want to play PvP you can do that. All you can get for PvP from PvE is different looks for your armor and weapons. Most of these you can also just buy with gold.

I’ll let the PvP people recommend a class, but you do have five slots so you can try out many classes.

Character Naming

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Garambola.2461

Garambola.2461

I get bothered a bit when I see copyrighted or celebrity names being used. Changing a single character to special character shouldn’t be done. Wish players would try to be a bit more mindful of immersion too. Luckily most are good with naming.

These are actually against the rules and can (and should) be reported.

Clerification about accended rings (and luck)

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Garambola.2461

Garambola.2461

I didn’t know there were restrictions on ascended rings based on infusions. I was always under the impression it was strictly identical rings you couldn’t equip. Could someone confirm what OP is saying that you cannot equip two completely different rings if they both have offensive infusion slots?

You are correct. My guy has ‘Ring of Red Death’ and ‘Ossa Family Signet Ring’ both with offensive infusions on him right now.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

1. You can wear two rings with the same infusion slot, but they cannot be the same ring. This same thing has happened to plenty of people, most have been recompensated with the ring that has the same stats but different infusion slot. Contact support. (Or use the ring on another character.)

2. Indeed, it is an artificer crafting skill at level 0. Being an artificer is enough.

It is not really a competition to the most of us. Some people do care about leaderboards, of course, but the rest of us are more interested in the rewards. The rewards are unlikely to go away so even a player who starts a year from now will get them, in time.

While I have never bought even one extra inventory slot, I am not going to say they should not be available for those who want to spends their money on them. However, I do feel having the chance to store the alternate armr/weapon/trinket sets in a specific place would be a better solution.

For me levelling characters is far, far easier than making gold. I would not mind having to level up a character again if that meant getting 4000 gold. (I would not want to level all 18 again though.)

It isn’t that I am not making gold, I do make some but the crafting eats up everything and would swallow much more if I had it.

Dungeons, Edge of the Mists do make an income. To make thousands you really need to play the TP though. Either actively flipping or getting a lucky break like you did at the start.

Maybe you will get a lucky drop of a precursor or few. I have not had one in my over 5000 hours of playing, but I was never Fortuna’s favourite. It is alright though, I think the reason I have not gotten bored with the game is never having quite enough, let alone too much, gold.

blink You want to save 6000 gold to get…some of your stuff back? What happened to your stuff? If it as unfairly taken from you, maybe you should ask for the rollback unless you already have done that before. If you haven’t, contact support.

6000 gold. That is as unreachable to me as 600 000. Most I ever had was 200 to get the achievemt and that lasted minutes.

Exclusive Tournament of Legends only mini...

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Garambola.2461

Garambola.2461

While I do not collect miniatures, I understand it can be frustrating to those who want the full collection.

The real problem here is not needing to PvP for this mini, the problem is that a) you need a team to enter and especially b) only a limited number of teams can enter.
The reason for the latter is obvious, but it makes getting the mini impossile for many who want it. Or there could be miniature hunter teams taking up spots of those who really want to play.
