That whatever the new content is, there will never be armor sets or weapon sets available through playing the game. No rewards for skill. Open your wallet and you will receive that glorious heavenly joy that is horizontal progression – do not, and you will suffer the mindless work-like farm ala crem de la frostgorge, or completely miss out.

As is, “you don’t need it”.

So why keep playing.

It is of interesting thought.

Obviously the droprate on these two minis is not representative of rare quality, they drop almost more often than holo risen lol. I guess it was anets way of assuring that exotic price will never go above 120+. The exotics of set 2 are around 50 gold, now that’s a new low for an exotic mini that even counts for the sets.

Asura Cultural Tier 3 Light, Savant Coat/Epaulets

Race: Asura
Class: Elementalist
Sex: Female

The coat is completely broken, it makes every single possible combination of pauldrons, including the Tier 3 one, disappear. It makes the neck piece expand over it’s limits. Even one of your main characters, Zojja, has this problem ingame and cutscenes.

I seriously hope this thread is being watched because this glitch in particular is terrible and goes about affecting even the cutscenes with zojja.

Fractal Shield clipping

Tested characters
Race: Charr
Sex: Female
Profession: Engineer

Race: Asura
Sex: Male
Profession: Guardian

Race: Human
Sex: Male
Profession: Warrior

The shield goes inside the hand in all cases. As it clips so heavily in the arm, it usually goes through the pauldrons and backpiece, which is rather rare. It also tends to sink into the users back when sheathed.

Clipping/glitching Fractal Shield

There have been numerous threads and bug reports made about this shield but to no avail.
https://www.google.fi/search?q=fractal+shield+clipping+gw2+site:forum-en.guildwars2.com&client=firefox-a&hs=w3e&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official

One of the hardest shields to get in the game ruined by the worst clipping on a shield to date.

Move it further from the arm holding it and it can be considered as fixed. Because it clips so heavily in the arm, it also usually goes through the pauldrons, which is rather rare. It also tends to sink into the users back when sheathed.

Acording to the manifesto

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Gasoline.2570

Gasoline.2570

the manifesto itself, which is only 1 video out of 24.

18 of the 24 videos are showcases.

There is a video in there that tells you specifically about the personal story and another video in there that specifically tells you about dynamic events. There are other videos that tell you about everything

It’s telling me how it’s different on GW2 from traditional MMOs, not actually telling me much aside from instilling in me that GW2 is different.

So what you’re saying is that anything that MIGHT be misintepreted from three years ago, in a single video should have it’s own page of corrections just in case someone might misunderstand it, because my understanding of some of those lines, even without the clarification was completely different.

No. I’m saying a link to where I can see it on the official GW2 website should be there. I shouldn’t have to go to some random website that saved it on their server from a post way back when. Someone at ANet wrote it, I don’t see why it’s on deleted blogs and not situated where I can see it without a Google search on the topic.

saying that this is something Anet has to rectify is just plain silly.

Why? Why is it silly to say ANet should go back and fix the Manifesto to reflect what they really meant? Because of time? Because of all the content that’s being worked on? They can spend hours doing live feeds, but can’t fix a video? It’s still their main marketing point. Do you see the almost daily threads on here about this topic? People are still viewing it.

Those who continually bring up the manifesto are living in the past, and any MMO player will tell you that’s not a good place to be.

It’s called nostalgia.

If the game had met your expectation in other ways, would you still be bringing up the manifesto? Would you even care about it?

I would. But I don’t base most of my comments off of the Manifesto. And so would others. Because there’s more that’s been reverted that’s outside of it. And before you tell me MMOs change and evolve and all that, I agree with you, that they do. But, they shouldn’t go in the total opposite direction over what was said. A small turn is alright, but going all the way around is not.

Maybe you understood everything that was said in the Manifesto in all your wide worldy wisdom. Others didn’t. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that maybe 20 people total understood what was actually being said in the whole video. Truth or not, the other 98% of the game’s population didn’t..

98% of the players didn’t even see the manifesto video in the first place /rolleyes

Care to backup this statement?

Exactly. Again, why does the server population, which is in charge of transfer fees, take into account everything? These servers that have small wvw presence still show very high thus making any kind of transfers to them not happen.

Instant Trait Reset?

in Twilight Assault

Posted by: Gasoline.2570

Gasoline.2570

I would prefer if Anet would simply try to get more money via paid content like mini expansions than these cash shop items which should be included features in the first place.

For instance, back in early Beta the gathering tools were unlimited use, then someone decided that they could milk people by making it consumable and down the line make it a gemstore item. There’s no way for me to continue with this train of thought without losing civility so I’ll cut myself off here.

Yes it does feel like what’s happening is they purposefully made a lot of gameplay designs a hassle, just to later ask money for making it what it should have been in the first place.

It’s not cosmetic stuff anymore, it is convience taken away(literally, the 10 silver trait book) and then put back up for an insane fee – like we wouldn’t notice? Come on.

So, where should the rest of DB move to?

in WvW

Posted by: Gasoline.2570

Gasoline.2570

DB has certainly been hit by a number of guilds leaving…but frankly I would hardly say destroyed lol. Transfer to some of the bottom tiers and pop into WvW

Right now we’ve had some tough roll’s with the RNG getting matched up well out of our league, but we are still able to put up some fight against TC when we can muster it. Once we get matched up with a server more our WvW size right now it will make for a much more enjoyable matchup IMO.

O-hai gama.

Yes indeed the rolls have been bad, but they’ve been bad for a really long while now. It’s gotten to a point where people generally give up and since hardcore guilds took their leave, what do we have? SEA was never an issue, although we lost a lot of hardcore SEA players, as well, but the lackluster NA due bandwagons created a terrible experience if you want to take the day long presence into account. Outmanned in own BL most of the time is just silly. People enjoy to come in more casually to WvW when there is something happening, unfortunately nothing has been for a long time and itll end up driving even the moderate WvWers out to PVE. Or bandwagon. Or quit game.

What a garbage situation.

Why is it so? The only reason someone would genuinely want to pay that much for a transfer is 99% of the time for wvw, yet anet decided that the total population, including PVE and Spvp is what matters.

What !? Why !? The whole idea of charging less for people to go to more struggling servers is solely for wvw, that’s all. Anet this will not fix the high pop – low wvw pop situation at all.

Who else think this way too? Engis have the problem that mostly youre running around with a kit and your main weapon is hidden. Other classes can choose what they look like no matter, we are stuck with the default skins that do get tiresome.

The Games Current Direction

Posted by: Gasoline.2570

Gasoline.2570

Good post and I agree. What odd is that for the tequatl fight, there are guilds dedicated to killing it which are public, but they do require management and they clutter up the guild system, which already ultra-cluttered, to even a greater degree. What the heck?

Also the updates lack that consitency and instead some end up being complete fillers while the small portion are actually worth it all. So it’s a very uneven experience which is never a very good thing for a constant enjoyment of the game.

And the gemstore needs to stop being so integral to every update. Without it you miss a huge portion of the new contents rewards so to say and feel a little lacking if you can acquire none of it. It should be available in more forms than just the store.

Instant Trait Reset?

in Twilight Assault

Posted by: Gasoline.2570

Gasoline.2570

You’re talking as if they have somehow limited how you used to always re-trait. You /don’t/ need to spend money on it. The silver cost remains the same as ever. If they REPLACED map travel cost with gem cost, then yeah, I’d be upset. If they added a way to use gems as an alternative to that cost, like an item that teleported you to a specific waypoint when you used it, then I’d have absolutely no problem with that.

They have NOT made anything MORE tedious at all though. Instead they added something you can spend some money on for relatively negligible convenience and thereby support the game. I think that’s awesome, and shows that their priorities are in the right place.

You think it’s awesome? I guess that means you’ll be buying them? There is no way I will; and this offering makes me less likely to buy gems from them in the future. I spent a lot of time and money, but it was fun at the time.

A consumable for trait resets doesn’t make the game more tedious — but it does seem to kill the hope I had that it’d get better.

Personally — I hate being forced to make a choice between wasting money and wasting time — having that decision thrust into my face is a constant irritant. Previously it wasn’t a choice as they didn’t have functionality for resetting traits in the field; now that they do, I either have to pretend that this doesn’t exist or stew.

My objection to this is that — based on my personal response — I think it’s a poor business decision. If you or others respond by spending cash to buy these and are happy to have them in the gem store, then perhaps I’m wrong — and if that’s the case, have fun.

But I get the impression that you’re probably defending this offering out of loyalty, rather than happiness at seeing this in the gem store. If that’s the case, consider that my comments might be sincere.

You wouldn’t believe the lengths people go on defending this sort of business practice. A well written reply, ought to be replied by someone who will just dismiss your opinion once again with a simple convenience argument that practically holds no merit.

On female asurans the Tier 3 Light set has been bugged for as long as I remember, isn’t it about time it gets fixed?

The problem is for some reason the neck part is glitched on the chest piece, so its oversized and goes through shoulder armor and even inside the middle of it, making all possible shoulders pieces disappear when using the chest-piece.

Even the actual cinematics with Zojja, one of the main characters, has the issue.
