Black Lion Chest - Mini's

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

Will there ever be an option added to be able to forge the duplicates we may have? Since they are account bound, once we add the first one to our wardrobe the rest are just useless and taking up bank space. It would also be nice if their rarity would be changed to at least rare since in most cases these were supposedly rare drops from the chests.

Is it possible that the story mode was completed on a different character? Story mode completion is character bound not account bound.

Hall of Monuments Update?

Gator.5729

As I am sure you have already read the numerous other posts regarding HoM, they are working on the fix but there is no confirmed date on when it will be completed.

I also see that you started another thread for this in the general discussion thread, I am pretty sure that the ANET response in that one would also apply to this one.

Missing Ferratus's Rabid Insignia

If you bought it from the Master Tailor, what you purchased was the recipe for the insignia not the insignia itself. When you double-clicked it your character learned the recipe. Search through you crafting recipes and you will find it. You will still need to make it.

{Suggestion} Regarding Fake GM Emails

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

I know this isn’t actually an account problem, but it seems to always cause them. I know there is a note in all player sent emails that clearly say that it is from another player not the GW2 staff. There have been a lot of suggestions how to make that note more visible. Well how about this?

When you open an email from another player, create a pop up notification that you have to click OK on before you see the email. It shouldn’t be that hard to add, the basic notification pop up is already in the game.

Super Adventure Box minis exchange?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

I have several duplicates of each of them, I think they should have been or should be changed to “Rare” and allow us to at least forge them with the chance of getting something different. I think any special release mini should be of at least “Rare” quality due to the RNG of Black Lion chests. I don’t even care about selling them, I would be okay with just having something to do with them instead of destroying them. Before anyone says you can forge them and make the mini assassin, I already did that, still have several of each.

About black lion skins

Gator.5729

I would like to get answer from developer, can this 1 claim ticket thing happen in future too? I just lost around 500g on chaos skins, and I have been concidering buying a dreamthistle sword skin for myself a long time. However, now im too scared to spent huge amount of gold which I have been collecting almost 2 years. (I never bothered to do the boring gold farming such silverwastes etc..)

…And what about the people with several claim tickets that missed out on buying them for 1 ticket and selling them at the high prices. I have 15-20 tickets sitting in my bank. By the time I get home from work the price will have dropped to reflect the new prices. I lost out on a lot more than you did. It’s part of the game, Everyone misses out from time to time.

Shatterer Issue

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

There is an issue with diminishing rewards that affects characters that are left parked at events. Either go to a different zone and do an event then return or don’t leave them parked there, it only takes a few seconds to waypoint around to each event. So it isn’t really a bug, so that is probably why it isn’t getting fixed.

Rune of Sigil makes item soulbound?

Also don’t overlook the fact that when you applied the rune to the armor, it popped up a warning that it would soulbind and you had to click “Yes” to continue.

Blade Shard

There isn’t really two types. This is a bug with a lot of account bound items. The work around for this is to have them both in you character’s inventory and either waypoint to a different map or log out then back in. This will fix it.

Verizon Fios East Coast Lag

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

It doesn’t matter what your speed test results indicate, that is only testing the connection between you and the provider. It doesn’t test between you and the GW2 game servers. If you want a real indication then use a trace route between you and the game servers. It will show a ping in milliseconds between each node you pass through as well as packet loss and will be a better indication of where the problem lies. I would bet that everyone who is experiencing lag and DC’s will find that the issue is between nodes outside of Anet. Think about it, if the issue was with Anet’s connection then every single person would be having problems.

Mystic Forge returning lower level items

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

My understanding is that the Forge looks at the rarity of the item not the level, thus (4) exotics return an exotic. I would assume that you (OP) are forging for a precursor, that being said, a level 78 exotic has the same chance of returning a precursor as a level 80 exotic. This is the same reason you can throw in (4) level 78 exotics and get a level 80 exotic back. So if your goal is to put the exotics you get back in the forge to try again, it doesn’t really matter if they are level 78 or 80.

Here is a quote from the offical wiki:

Four pieces of equipment of the same quality can be combined in the forge. The input can be weapons, armor, trinkets, or any combination of thereof. The output will be as specific as the input is. For example, if only weapons are used, the result is always a weapon. Similarly, starting with four medium helmets guarantees ending up with a medium helmet. In addition, the output equipment will be 3-12 levels higher than the average of the levels of the four piece of input equipment, except for exotic weapons averaging L75 or better, in which case there is a chance of ending up with L70-79 weapons. There is also a roughly 20% chance of receiving a higher quality item. This has a chance of producing soul-bound equipment sold by Karma Merchants.

New QoL change in last update!!!

I browsed through most of the posts and didn’t find anything on it.

I went into Silverwastes last night to do whatever and I went to the vendor to get more keys and extractors and found that the vendor now pulls crests from your bank. I only had 250 bandit crests on me but it showed that I had over 4200 to spend. I haven’t tried it with geodes yet, but I will assume that it is the same.

This is a great change, thank you! No more carrying and swapping them between characters. Just leave them all in the bank. Lets keep it like that for all items that serve as currency from now on.

We had several occasions last night where we lost the achievement right after the cut scene, while he was still green and on his way in. We were standing in the middle of the area watching him come towards us and out of 5 tries a different person in the party lost it each time before it even started. It had nothing to do with where we were standing, we were all in a group within a few feet of each other right in the middle.

Another problem with this would be that a select (limited) group of players would have access to the new content and any new materials or items. Depending on the content it would have the possibility of affecting the market. (They may know of a new recipe or reward item and be able to capitalize on it prior to the full release.)

[Suggestion] Allow Identical Items to Stack

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

I don’t really care if identical weapons or armor stack. What I would like to see is salvage kits and gathering tools stack to the same quantity that you purchase or make them. Like I have mystic salvage kit stacks, some with 25 some with 201. Same with black lion salvage kits. You should be able to stack them back up.

Ascended armor transmutation

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

Anyone with ascended armor transmuted to cultural and another lvl 80 of a different race with the same armor class to test it out?

Yes, I have. I bought a couple of cultural (Sylvari) pieces to put with my TA set on my Sylvari Guardian. When ascended went account bound I tried to use it on my Norn warrior and it would not work. I knew before hand that it would not but wanted to try it anyway. So I just bought the remaining TA pieces and transmuted them over the cultural ones.

Any way to rejoin a guild with 0 members?

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

I know that must suck, I did the same thing (created a bank guild that is). I also invited 2 of my real life friends (I know I can trust them) and gave them privileges to invite and also allow them to use the storage. Now if any of us accidentally leave there will be someone to send us another invite. Another option is to wait for the game to go on sale again and buy a second copy and use that accounts bank space as additional storage, then you could also create another guild and have both of your accounts join the guild and you will always have a back up method of preventing this from happening again.

Unfortunately not all legendary’s are created equal, which is why some are desired more than others. I do agree with you though. I think the effects of the weapon attacks should all be different (like they are), however the i think the footprints should all be the same size and drop on every step. I have Rodgort and see the same thing you are. I have passed it between several of my characters and believe it or not, they are larger and more visible on my little Asura than my much larger Norn.

Malevolent Memory bug

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

It may not be a bug. From what I have found with this fight, is that the mechanics change a little at each stage of his health, like 75%,50% and such. Being that you can damage him a little with normal attacks at pretty much anytime, those little bits add up over time and may throw the phases off a little. I think if you stick to using just the mechanics to damage him it may solve the issue you are having. By the look at the screen shot he may be at like 28%, in that case you just have to standard attack him a few more percent to get the next phase to start.

I have had it happen too, I was running around him wondering where the vortex’s where. So I just picked away for a little bit then they spawned.

Sinister Stats - Stop For The Sake Of Sanity!

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

As mentioned in another post (to lazy to look up and link), I think some kind of upgrade should be introduced that allows you to combine sets of armor of the same rarity and have the stats combined be select-able. You would still have to either buy the set or craft it. It would essentially only free up bag space and make switching armor (while ooc) easier. The upgrade could be reward based, craft-able or anything,

Another Shiny Foil Post

Think about it, there are so many people from different time zones that play this game. So no matter when the lottery rewards are handed out, some will be sleeping, some will be working/in school and some will be in game. There has been no mention that I recall of the rewards being either trade-able or account bound. If they can be sold only a lucky few will reap the reward of selling at the high buy offer, everyone else will miss out. So will there be a race for the trading post or will we have new skins for our wardrobe?

Only time will tell…

Fractal Relics for the finisheed LS Backpiece

in Living World

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

Where in the LS do yo have to do Fractals to finish it? The parts and pieces for the backpiece are rewards for the LS. You can complete the LS and build the exotic backpiece without ever stepping foot in the Fractals. The Fractal relics are only for creating the ascended version of the backpiece. If you arent doing fractals you dont need ascended items. The stat gain for the ascended vs. exotic back piece is almost nothing.

I found that when I crafted my deldimor chest plate and lining both pieces were able to be sold and bought on the TP. However when I crafted my axe handle and blade they were not. The axe handle and blade have been sitting in my bank for several months and the armor pieces were crafted this past weekend. Was there a change recently that allows the newer crafted items to be sold? If not why are armor pieces able to be sold but not weapon parts?

fractal daily

The daily tiers are 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40 and 41-50. You can do a 10, 11 and 21 for 3 daily chests each day. The chance for ascended stuff and fractal weapons start at 10, probably because that is the level agony starts. What you said makes sense but, I do at least try to do a 10 and 11 every day and I know I get a chest for each one. I also know that fractal weapons drop at level 10, I got the hammer from it.

There is also a 1-handed sword covered in flames. drawing a blank on the name at the moment, its a roman style sword blade.

You might also look into Cobalt – they are quite cheap now and while they’re matched more to Guardian FX it might be a good placeholder while you work on Volcanus.

The sword you are thinking of is “Firebringer” I have it on my ranger. It is nice, but no where near the animations of Volcanus.

[Merged] Fractal level reset is equity wiped. Discuss.

in Fractured

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

So much has already been said up to this point, so what I have to say won’t matter anyway. But here it goes anyway.

For those of you who reached FotM 80, congrats. It is truly a feat many of us could have never achieved (no sarcasm intended). Also for those of you who were higher than 30, good job. However, as of the next patch 31+ is a completely new challenge for everyone, even those currently at 80. Should anyone be allowed to jump right in on patch day and play the new level 50? Absolutely not. No one has beaten level 31 yet. So why should having a current level 36, 48, 54 or 80 give you a free pass to skip level 31? When the new TA path was released, no one automatically got all the new achievements just because they had previously beaten the F/U path. Should everyone that currently has a FotM level higher than 31 receive some sort of compensation? Maybe, maybe not. Even if Anet decides to hand something out, some would be happy and some would still complain. There is not one single thing that they could do that would make everyone happy. Why complain about loosing your level 50-80 status, the new fractals only go to 50. Having anything higher than that is pointless now anyway. I know that it is upsetting to many people but after the patch, those levels you have previously beaten/passed just aren’t there anymore. Think about this, if you are all that good at high level fractals, it should only take you a few days to be back at level 50 anyway.

I have a level 80 of every profession except engineer (working on that one now). I don’t use any of them for anything specific. I just play each one as I feel the need to change things up. I will use anyone of them for any content. The only thing that affects which one I use, is which one has the area mapped that I want to go play in.

When does magic find effect chests?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

Normal drops are white, every blue/green/rare/exotic item that you get from a drop is a result of magic find and/or just being plain lucky. So naturally as your magic find increases, so does the number of blues and greens that you get.

Static chests in the game (jumping puzzles, dungeons, mini-dungeons, event completions) are not affected by magic find. The small wooden or steel chests that appear after killing an enemy is a drop that contains a rare or exotic item.

Crafting my ascended weapon - advice please

in Crafting

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

I think with anything other than a full condition build, (healing, survivability….) you can get what you are looking for out of armor and runes. I would keep trinkets (jewelry) and weapons full berserker to boost your DPS output. So as Rapsody said above all ascended berserker weapons start with Zojja.

As a side note, getting your crafter to 500 is the worst part. Once you reach that getting the mats to craft the ascended weapons come pretty easy.

As for Empyreal Fragments, try parking alts at the jumping puzzles in Caledon Forrest. You get on average 7-9 per chest. I have 6 alts that I try to cycle through each day (Morgan’s Leap, Spekk’s Laboratory and Spelunker’s Delve). Once you get proficient at them you can do all three in about 10 mins per character if you leave them parked at one of them.

Lions Arch has 3 jumping puzzles that I think are easier than the Caledon ones. Trolls End can be frustrating at a few points, but I guess any of the JPs can become cake if you do them often enough.

You are correct the ones in LA are a little easier, but you seem to only get 2-4 per chest and then you wait till the next day. I would rather spend a few extra minutes and get 7-9 on each character.

Best profession and build to solo Champions?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Gator.5729

Gator.5729

My opinion is that any class/build is capable of it if you learn the mechanics of champion. If you learn when to dodge and the telltale sign of the attack, then you will be taking minimal damage. Once you learn that, then it all depends how fast you want to kill him. Berserker would be the fastest and PTV would probably be the slowest but most durable. Everything else would fall in between.
