@Duckzor yea 300 Karma. That 300 karma could have been 42k karma.

No, because it’s called a rollback. Anything that happened 5 minutes or so before the reset was lost. Deal with it. Restoring thousands upon thousands items/currency to thousands upon thousands of players every time there is a rollback makes so little sense I wonder if you thought about it at all before coming here to complain.

It’s someone complaining about not getting his money back from the TP outage. He’s using complex language in an attempt to sound smart, but misusing some of the words. It made me chuckle a little bit.

Right now the login servers are down. If you hit a loading screen, you get booted out of the game and can’t get back in. I’ve been in queue for a little over 2 hours as well now, and it’s all down the tubes since I’ll have to start over when I get back in.

bunny, can you post your metrica province map? you said there’s 25 zoned in it, but all the maps I’ve seen only show 24. I’m missing one area, and I think that’s the one.

bottom line is you need to learn to time your dodges. I’ve been working on that set, and I rarely if ever go down on alpha. you can stay in the circles if you learn the timing.

Missing about 5g as well, I hope it counts things as just lag and this isnt permanently lost sales.

Why would you worry about not getting a refund during beta?
Not like beta vs live is relevant.

The changes are fine, for the most part. The major issue is that the system they put in is broken. Almost everyone is seeing diminished returns for no reason (completely different dungeons, hours apart, getting 7s or 2s even). I never got more than 20s today. I ran a dungeon last night, before patch. Ran one today 3 hours after reset (8pm pst). I got 7s and 17k experience for my first run in ~10 hours (CoF 2nd path). An hour after that I did Twilight Arbor and got 2s. Something ain’t workin’ quite right.

The problem being that what I posted is not an opinion, and yours is. The system is broken since this morning. People are getting 2s and 7s rewards seemingly at absolute random. There is no diminishment for others. There is little to no experience reward for those people farming skillpoints. That is, by definition, broken. You cannot say it is not broken in that facet at the very least simply because you have your own little group and don’t care if a portion of the game does as it is intended. For all we know you’re one of the lucky few that isn’t affected by the diminishing returns and are getting the full reward, as intended, when you do separate paths.

oy, stop complaining about tokens and answer me!

(I agree that item costs are fine though. I have my full molten set and about 100-200 coins from all the other dungeons)

It’s not working as they described it, and I pray that the maintenance is going ro change that.

Guess what people. My static will go run another dungeon tomorrow. We might be back to Arah later this week. You guys are focused on getting something now now now instead of looking at it from a bigger picture of.. This is just 1 step of a bigger picture.

My post stands. The game isn’t broken. Your mentality is.

ah.. there is a post explaining how the new system is supposed to work (by a dev). it doesn’t do what they say it does. I think that is broken by definition.

to be perfectly fair, most of the screaming at the moment is about the way the diminishing return system is completely broken. I have no proble with running things plenty of times, but getting 2s and 17k experience on my firs dungeon in 12 hours doesn’t even begin to cover repairs for some of the more difficult ones.

Did my second run (first one took about 50 minutes), TA instead of the new and (slightly broken) cof. Got 2 silver and 17k experience.

Did my first run of the day and got 7s and 44k experience. It didn’t even cover my repairs. Awesome.

I did my first run of the day and got 7 silver and 44k experience. I have not run any dungeons for over 12 hours.

Diminishing returns mykitten

feel free to add me, looking for a good group to run it consistently. done all the paths with ny guild, but not many of them want to repeat. I’ve also noticed in that place that it becomes blindingly obvious when you have a few people who can’t damage/dodge for shot.

You can, and this is akittenbrilliant idea, I had started a thread a while back for a similar purpose, but this works much better. Count me in.

New influx of ‘omg can’t find a group posts’, figured I’d put this to the top to see if we can’t get a bit more action in here…

trying to imagine GS warrior as a boss. one shotting 20 people with whirlwind…

don’t have to go gimmick build to stand out with a gs. gimmick blends you into the crowd.

where’s my ‘chomp’ asura elite skill that latches onto them…

I wasn’t too sure how to write the title, bu I’ll try to explain. I’m talking about perhaps having several ‘ability 1’s’, in so far as swapping out a charge for a snare, or vice versa. Maybe adding in some sort of point system to customize abilities, reducing range and increasing duration, that sort of thing. Basically if there are plans to add a bit more customizability to current setups.

As the title says. Figured with all the complaining on these forums maybe we could make use of the player numbers. You can organize groups on forums since friend lists are cross server, as are instances. Post what you want to farm in here, and maybe you can find like minded souls for the mote obscure
dungeons.

Personally looking for TA or Crucible runs (sadly still need crucible story).

You get 10 extra tokens on your first run of the day. I think they all give 30/20.

Or, perhaps, there will be a huge banwave in a week or two. It takes a little bit of time to fix things without breaking something else.

Its fine.
Im from Hedge, we havent lost a SINGLE wvwvw yet.
#2-4 keeps changing between 3 servers, so we fight the same 3 over and over.
They have an alliance against us, and we still win every day.

Maybe u guys need to organize better.

Henge is home to the single largest guild alliance in the game atm.

Not adding anything to the speculation, however the legendaries do in fact do 1% more damage than their exotic counterparts (the GS does 1117 topend instead of 1100). Very slight physical advantage.

Been playing with GS and dual axes atm, trying to decide on something to settle down on. I would love axes if they had a charge/leap; but I’m leery of pairing one axe with mace/sword for cc or mobility.

@ the OP: An exotic weapon at 80 will run you maybe 4g, tops. Anything more is likely one of the ‘used in x legendary’ items, and unnecessary for you, so there’s no reason to worry about the price.

Titles, ranks, pretty gear, PvP legendaries, kitten. If you open your character screen and go down to PvP (the screen that let’s you go to heart of the mists), there’s a bar that shows your current PvP rank.

Often these events count any kill within the area as part of the mission. Of you truly don’t want any credit, don’t kill anything until the popup is gone.

According to the wiki, it takes the following:
5 Bottle of Elonian Wine
20 Arcane Crystal
50 Mystic Coin
1 Armor item (this is the chest piece of the set you want to discover)

This teaches you the recipe, which rom what I can see means you need to craft two chests essentially, since it takes one to discover it.

Come to blackgate, everyone hates us and we always get doubleteamed in WvW. Fun times.

Bluestone.7106:

Level crafting through discovering new recipes (Discovery tab) not crafting in bulk. I wasted a lot of tier 1 resources before I realised the value of discovery.

Also, salvage lots to get crafting materials. Easier later in the game though.

The problem is, there are only so many discovery recipes in each “tier”.

If you discover even half of the recipes in each tier you will have leveled out of that tier. Heck, probably a third or a quarter of them. There is something in the range of 500 recipes per crafting profession.

If you like the look, ask then to link it or ask them where they got it. Stats are pretty much irrelevant, you can craft whatever stats you want on things.

I really hope that there will be some sort of arena type thing inside guild halls. Something that allows you to test things in larger groups (as in everyone that crosses this line can attack anyone not in their party). One can hope I guess.

It’s on blackgate, and anyone from Anet would be able to check on what server I am on, but I guess I’ll satisfy the curiosity of those who seem to think they can do something about it and prowl these forums correcting people.

It also seems more likely that something posted here would be seen much quicker than a ticket, given the thousands upon thousands that are likely submitted each day. Logic isn’t always the strong suit for most people though. As with the caps lock, the goal is to be noticed, since this is occurring right now.

Draeath, it’s the last zone in the game, and the drops tend to be valuable. This is basically injecting a huge amount of money into the economy, several gold per person, from nothing.

In ORR near Graven Clay the ‘build a cannon’ mission is broken – it is currently spawning literally endless waves of mobs, over and over and over, and no progress or change is happening. I filled my inventory before I realized the bar isn’t moving. This has the potential to destroy the economy if it happens on more than one server, or if more people find out it exists.

Been reading through most of these posts and haven’t seen this one yet, so here goes.

Yesterday the trading post worked fine for me, none of this disappearing stuff happening. Today, I can’t interact with either the buy or ‘place order’ buttons. I can click them, but they don’t depress, and no action seems to register. I don’t lose any money, or items, or win anything. I am able to retrieve money from sold auctions, and cancel and post things, so it seems to be related to whatever has to do with buying or removing money from your bags.

Anyways, hope it gets fixed or a fix is posted soon, getting sad not being able to waste my money on junk.
