Guild Wars 2

Hey I cant put my ascended accesories and amulets in the mystic forge but from the last developer video he was playing the game and had those accesories. This must be an oversight since the infused version exists as seen in the video but we havent been able to make them for a long time. Can you please unbug it so we can infuse our accesories thanx.

I’m not the only one adressing this. True story.

Well my experience is complete opposite. But somehow I just cannot believe all you “lucky” people with no magic find getting exotics all day all night.

Half my guild just left this game at the same time because they got bored of getting no loot and having nothing better to do. One of the members of the guild got about 200 people together to discuss where the future of this game might go, and they all decided to leave for WoW and other mmorpgs, so they said their goodbyes and just left. That’s the direction Anet is going, so good luck.

Meanwhile, my guild is going strong wiht 450 people, 40+ online, max people in vent, 20+ during wurm meta last night. Sounds like ya need a new guild bro

Neat-o. Very neat-o.

If you make normal farming doable! I mean what in the world, after union got closed, I went for CS mining run and 9/10 mobs that I have to kill don’t even drop anything. I’m like ok maybe it’s unusual bad luck.

I go back to do melandru (first time in over a month) and guess what, loot still barely drops. I’m talking ANY loot, no porous bones, no bags, no claws. Just XP?

This game is so unrewarding now it’s not even funny. What am I supposed to do? Go southsun only? What happened to playing how you want? Dungeons are a time sink and the reward is not worth the trouble – that is of course ignoring Cof p1.

I’m really wondering now.. legimately. This is not a rant. What I wanna know is what does anet want the players to do now that they’re removing all sources of solid income and pushing drop rates to the limits?

Oh boy that’s nothing. I remember back in halloween times I saw 5 guardian bots with full karma gear running around grenth. Now that was amazing.

You know what, a couple warbanners could do wonders!

DeWolfe.2174:

Finally, some good sense on the threads! Let’s have some summer clothes, beachwear, and summer (cooler) armors too. No one would were heavy plate in the summer sun, they’d be boiled alive!

Yes oh my god this will make the game so amazing! kawaiii desune swimsuits to make all these desperate young men happy with their female characters!!!

Oh my god how awesome desunee these swimsuits are! I want to roleplay as a warrior girl and have awesum bikinis TEHEE
ILL PAY 100 DOLLARS FOR A SKIN PLS ANET GIVE ME ONE

I mean christ, was the map really that bad? People who’ve been playing for a good while think it’s a brand new map while in actuality it’s just a QUICK rehash of an old empty map introduced way back in november.

By saying quick, you don’t even need to pay attention how quickly all the new content (models) was put together. Clipping everywhere, stairs starting IN rocks and going nowhere. Pointless 3d models just copy pasted all over the thing.

Honestly just to spite not being deleted, my constructive criticsm is that please at least TRY to make it look like some effort was put in. It’s such a quick job that it’s appaling considering how “professional” this game was meant to be. This is far from quality content as well as “expansion pack worthy” content.

What it feels like is an excuse for new gemstore items for those few who love to spend dollas for useless rng based stuff.

It’s only amazing because it’s the first actual armor skin outside of the on-release ones.

God this is pathetic to watch.

So sad how young/middle aged men are begging to spend real life money for swimsuit skins on their female characters on a videogame…

What has this world turned into?

ZudetGambeous.9573:

They tried that with wintersday. People cheerer and rejoiced that it wasn’t RNG, but then realized it wasn’t RNG and everyone could get the weapons so no one did since they weren’t rare. Anet made no money, so we went back to RNG where they make a lot of money. It’s fully the players decision, and they decided on RNG boxes.

Also the wintersday skins weren’t all that great either. Had it been fused skins on the store for immidiate purchase, youd see those skins everywhere. Just like this patch, you won’t be seeing many scerlite weapons because they aren’t as good looking as the fused ones. Majority of them are actually worse than the wintersday ones.

Well it’s hard to say but I’d say probably.

Who else got it? Were you happy with it? How many boxes did you get for that toilet?

I ran 40 yesterday and ended with useless ring, 2 rares and a shard. The loot is definitely nerfed.

Really, anet? That’s the last time I’m running a 40.

lordkrall.7241:

I would say because they have learned from GW1.
In GW1 every single mini was trade-able.
There were a few very rare minis (like 5 or so of one kind that existed in the whole game) and those more or less kittened up the whole economy because of their ridiculous value.

You are frogetting gem store minis aren’t tradeable.

We already have ridiciously overpriced exotic tradeable minis which make this achievement a kitten to get. At least this way they promote their gem store minis with a little bit more value to us.

Why wont you touch them, anet?

Fractals Fractals Fractals Fractals Fractals

So, honestly, why not?

Heheh. Still going strong after launch.

? They are already greedy by forcing you to get insane amounts of those mini packs or spending straight up 1000g for the exotic minis. Having new minis count up for it would be a good alternative.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I thought the only way to get the minis that count toward the achievement was in the Gem store. Is there another way to get them? (Except for the Balthazar one.)

As for the special minis, I would guess they do not count as their number is continually increasing, so where would the end of the achievement lie? Does it keep moving up? Will we ever have them all? Just something to consider….

1. Nope.

2. I’m just saying add all the minis TOWARD the original achievement. It doesn’t matter if you go above the max limit, just would be nice if the minis counted toward the original achievement limit.

Yeah it put me underground and I couldnt get out. That cost me 3silver extra port. Not nice at all.

I like the way you think, good sir.

Theyre too busy. For the past 8 months.

Mirta.5029:

okay, how is getting an achievement you don’t need “pay to win” -_-

You have a point there. It’s not lol.

It’s the same as emperor achievement. It’s all about how wealthy you are.

I don’t understand why the gem store minis dont count for the original number of the mini collector achievement since they all still cost money. Whether it’s the old minis or new gem store ones. It’s money anyway.

You can transfer gold to gems and gems to gold. And the minis only come from the gem store 3-pack.

It’s already pay2win no matter how you look at it if you really wanna get into it like that.

Count for the miniature collector achievement? There’s really no reason not to.

I like the part where they added nothing to fractals except fix exploits.

Yes and he’s not talking about said items. There are no alternatives to fused weapon skins.

Where did they state that?

I would absolutely love if the select few would stop trolling. We all know hes referring to the fused weapon skins, nothing else.

I have tried everything. The gw2 database says theyre in the game but I cant just make them. This bug needs fix..

The patch notes said “many”, but there’s barely any new ones. Precursors, expensive unique skins, peacemakers, dark asuran, arah and many more still don’t have icons.

I think this is a bug.

The infusions arent available but gw2db says theyre in the game. can u fix tis?

Come on, am I missing something or is there really no new infusions? Vendors in fractals also have nothing new. No skins. No new fractals.

What??

Too much wine from miyami.

Honestly what do you guys think of this thing they do where they introduce more buggy content before fixing existing bugs?

It’s not that many days since last reset and our orr is already filled with broken events again.

You know the usual fia, arah chain, packheart.

Then you go throughout other maps and there’s a bunch all over.

Can you just dedicate all your resources to fix as many bugs as you can in a month timeframe at least? The bug-patch?

Fine transmutation stones are so integral to this games design philosophy that I have no idea why they are only in the gem store. Everyone uses them. EVERYONE. It is a basic neccesity when you reach 80 and want the skin and stats together. There is no avoiding it. And you can’t get them from anywhere else, at all? What???

OP is me.

These complaints will not be heard by anet.

Kitten is cats.

It’s funny how they just end up stacking since they’re worthless.. eh eh.

Another topic I’ve wondered is what do others here think of the signets?

Honestly it feels like they were built for leveling at first but when people reached 80 they started to become questionmarks, at least some.

Healing signet
Regen? What is th- and you’re dead. Oh let me just activa… 3000 heal.. oh… ohhh…. ;_;

Signet Of Might
For what it’s worth, it’s nice for solo content but for great justice is a nobrainer for any group situation which in might becomes worthless, really. That and fury is nice.. I barely use this but I can’t say it’s bad per se. In dungeons/wvw/grouping it just feels like youre doing less for the group by holding on to it since the FGJ affects everybody and does A TON more by doing that.

Signet Of Stamina
This is actually a very good one for a lot of pve situations due increased dodging. Cooldown is long, even if you consider full condi removal. Honestly, how often do you have all conditions? When does it really become effective as compared to mending or shake it off? I feel activating this is pointless, even at desperate situations since you lose that dodge increase for whatever it is you needed it. (shaman fractal anyone)

Dolyak Signet
I don’t feel the 100 toughness when I play this on, the increase from it feels very insignificant. The active mode is nice but, one, it’s not a stunbreaker like balanced stance and two, the cd is too long.

Signet Of Fury
4% crit chance increase is o k I guess as passive. Active mode is fantastic. I like it.

Signet Of Rage
Nothing to say. It does what it’s supposed to.

Of course there’s the cool trait that gives 40 prec for keeping signets passive but that became a bit irrelevant since omnoms got nerfed and signet of healing just can’t keep up alone. The insane critting was the thing that kept you alive along with the healing signet..

Also decreased CD for signets as trait is also something to consider but I feel the 20% won’t cut it at all. It’s only nice for Signet Of Rage and nothing more honestly..

CookMETEnder.7582:

Longbow.
Doesn’t sacrifice much damage compared to the Rifle, yet offers a hell of a lot more utility

Jonwar.9205:

Longbow is superior to a rifle in the hands of a decent player against decent players. Blind, immobolize, firefield, burst damage from 3…

I’ve had people try to kite me with a rifle in WvW and honestly it’s laughable. I cover the distance easily, dodge cripple/volley if they fire it off before I get there and then they have to swap to melee once I get there or prepare to get their face bashed in. So they switch to their GS but they don’t have any control abilities so there’s nothing to set up their HB with. Of course I keep them good and crippled so they’re not running away…

Neither weapon is that great to kite with really as warriors just aren’t designed to kite. The Longbow at least can bring some strong AoE to a group fight and has decent utility to boot.

This is all opinion of course, but it’s backed by the fact that I have never once lost to a rifle warrior and they make a healthy portion of my diet when camp capping.

Exactly. The longbow brings in much healthier variation to any situation..

Dolan.3071:

The amount of all melee Warriors I’ve kited to death (as a warrior myself) is too kitten high. The damage difference between ranged and melee really isn’t that substantial considering you can keep ranged damage up 100% of the time. I know I’m in for a free kill if I see a Warrior come at me with a GS…

That said, the longbow 5 skill is the only good thing about the bow, the AoE is stupidly slow and easily dodged. Rifle #2 for immobilise, #3 for strong damage that lasts longer than a dodge roll, #5 sends people absolutely flying, great for capping points/protecting downed teammates. Not to mention the mother of all ranged DPS, Killshot.

Few things to consider

The bow aoe is also very large, the immoblize is much longer.

And honestly, to say aoes easy to dodge, the easiest to dodge move in the whole game is probably killshot. The time it takes to launch is an eternity without frenzy and it might not even crit so it’ll do far less damage than intended. I find it awful to try to use.

The biggest reason for this thread is the fact that I switched to rifle from lb due my love toward the predator. I’ve been running LB+GS pve and S/SH+LB in WvW mostly and it’s been really easy to keep the traiting quite same no matter what I do and no matter what weapons I take out for the occasional spin but I find the options of the rifle becoming very restrictive.

Bleed is long, but if you stack cond damage you sacrifice way too much for the other skills on it since only 1 does condi damage.

Rifle butt has a long reload time to become an effective source of keeping anything away for a little longer.

Just about every shot takes a while to fire. As with longbow is a tad slower on one, disregarding its 2 hits per 1 shot, the 4 and 5 skill are extremely quick to fire and the conditions they apply will affect the target immidiately. Also they have their respective aoes, yes even the 5.

Also for the rifle to be effective, you have to get arms to 20. For longbow it’s only 10 traitpoints and with that even comes a possibility to have banner traits. You can choose if you want to go more condi or zerk, with rifle you already lose 20 points to condi.

The skills are just so weirdly built for the rifle, the single target power is better but the lack of aoe is a major thing. And even if you trait it for piercing bullets, they have to be lined completely. Makes it so very situational.

maybe the biggest thing is the dip to 900 range as opposed to 1200 from LB.

I’d be interested to seeing whatever rifle traited builds there are that don’t suffer from volatility and lack of defense.

And yes bear my opinions are only centered toward wvw and pve. Spvp I wouldn’t even try to bother using the rifle.

Well theyre the only ranged weapon which is a neccesity for wvw and a lot of pve situations. spvp not so much.

What do the fellow warriors think of the rifle after all the patches done to LB?

Honestly LB seems all around just a lot better than rifle especially with the 5 skill upgrade to have instant 5 stacks of bleed and the fact everything except 1 can do AOE.

The cooldowns are also kinda long on rifle considering what they do, especially 4 and 5 skill have way too long cooldowns for the small effect they do.

And let us not ignore cast times of f1 and 4. Theyre crazy long..

Oh and I still can’t believe anet has 1200 as range on the tooltip even though its 900

And the footprints are really tiny compared to others..

Few weeks ago? I just got the leg that requires 500 tokens from it too. I have ran it enough to have 6 full sets of it. I know the lode drop rate on that forsaken dungeon. It’s really kitten low.

The price, perhaps???

Of course it was nerfed. See the precursor prices?

Nexon nexon nexon.

They know what they can get away with. kitten off a couple, enjoy the money of others.
