Guild Wars 2

Atrocity.5794:

I love all the trolls on this forum, ha. I supposed I should of figured this would eventually happen, I mean when I was active I was playing during the first 3 months of release and never had these issues, but now it’s like 6 or so months later and here we are with no one to party up with in low levels or just have that fun from slaying giant beast that randomly spawned during events.

We can let this thread die now.

People can level to 80 in a day, a week, less than a month. So in low areas your not going to see much but the new players. Most people right now are doing the April event, others are farming the bosses maw etc. Even others are doing dungeons which you won’t see because they are in the instance. There are a lot of people playing, but because of the easiness of leveling you won’t see them for long unless you are 80 and hanging out where everyone else does.

As far as servers you can transfer free to “some” servers if they are medium. You can transfer for paid otherwise. You can guest on 2 servers a week? I think. As far as Arenanets solution for empty zones they are adding living story to low level zones this should help some, and more content to come. The games “life force” will only feel as alive and active as players make it. There is no artificial way to make you feel more enveloped in a sea of people comfortably. As more content comes, and the people who waited for things to be added/changed come back, you will see more. But we really need some culling removal if that does happen, wvw is nice, but pve needs it too.

Anyway, you can find which server fits you best, mine seems fine except the 800 people in Rata Sum at the moment :P

purpleskies.3274:

Is anyone else having a problem with the toad’s amulet dying and him becoming unhittable?

Hmm not yet, he has mechanics that re pretty simple to follow. I just solod him on easy mode, which was annoying.. until I got the hang of it lol. Watch what he does and it helps alot, your trying to kill him not the amulet. Not sure why they both have HP, maybe the necklace runs out?

Can’t believe how many people are downers on this. Anyways, great game update. Beautiful execution and I hope they keep it up. The crowd around it tells me that ANet probably will. If not at least we had a good April Fools and it wasn’t just a fake ad or some stupid “mechanic” that is never added to the game.

Yea, this update actually has substance. Which is really cool. Maybe some people don’t like it but it is optional. And for those on forums who can’t see, rata sum has never been more full of people enjoying the game.

Oh please the ammount of effort that went into this temporary addition is ridiculous, when the game needs so much more, they just keep adding junk, the only good thing added recently was the living story stuff, but if they would have put more time into it instead of the super box I think everyone would have been happy not just some.

Dude, this update is fun man. Learn to appreciate things

Your idea of fun is different than mine, I appreciate many aspects of the game, and have had so much fun playing it that I have never played a fantasy mmo more than this, however this stuff although fun, ruins the game.

Yep, game is ruined everyone run for the hills because we have an April fools event that probably took a week to make. And that everyone IN game is enjoying. K, gothcya.

This isn’t an addon its an event dungeon and items. This is not some expansion, i don’t see why people keep thinking that. I’ve seen your other threads so thats pretty much all I can say.

AW Lore.5682:

its not empty, check rata sum, everybody is into the super fun d ungeon, 8 bit themed dungeon.

Randulf.7614:

Good to see they gave a choice. Never bothered me, buit nice to see they took on board the feedback

Yea I like this too. Last month seemed like no choices made it so they needed to make it easy. This month seems like they implemented what they really wanted, options.

Warlander.1384:

Chessrook.8643:

250 years of time is no small amount in the realm of technological and scientific advancement. Throwing magic in the mix can just speed things up.

Props to ANet for not making another fantasy world that stagnates for millenia.

Oh really, so the asurans magiclly invented retro 8 bit arcade game items, ok cool, well maybe soon they can also invent a magic burger king where i can get a burger and win a chance at a paper crown.

Cause thats the world thats starting to get made, its already hard enough taking anything seriously when i saw a 8 foot tall charr warrior with a bouncing quaggan back pack on, an anoying sounding 8bit digital pet is even worse.

Because Guild Wars 2 and the interwebs are srs bsns.

New Monthly Achievements for April.

Wow at how down people are lol who can’t take a joke and have fun with things.. The content is optional, you can avoid it pretty much. People seriously need to lighten up..

hplee.2839:

obligatory responses:

A) ahhh more jumping puzzle?
B) “i hope they fix/balance the game first, stop wasting time and effort on this kitten”
C)no pvp update/fixes? i quit
D)no WvW update/fixes? i quit
E)more grind? i quit

I did the baby one, no jumping puzzles at least not directly lol. It was really fun and I HATE dungeons ^^;

This was just an april fun event, people were asking for and expecting and I’m sure took very little time to produce.

I think people need to relax, so much demand, so much anger at the game. Should just let go and enjoy it or try something else.

PS: I got to the frog solo, and then he ate me..

For questions see:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/now-open-super-adventure-box/

Also new Gem Store items, Finisher, Adventure Box o Fun, and Limited Time Mini Pets.

The Super Adventure Box (SaB) is located in Rata Sum, look for the gold star icon above Moto’s head.

How was your adventure so far? I managed to get some boxes and drop them on my server, people had a blast. Share your thoughts ^^

These are super easy to farm, I would say if the price rose (and this is entirely speculation) that it could have been bots being removed who caused it to drop and it is now raising to normal. Or a variety of other causes, I’m not an economist or dev ^^

I would like to zoom out as well, some areas hinder you from seeing properly and you cannot zoom further. During Maw I notice that the screen zooms out for you beyond the normal range. Perhaps we can get this further range in the future.

Pinla.7328:

I bought and used 55 keys plus the handful returned from the chests. Sadly, I received no ticket.

I’m sorry to hear this. Maybe they can add these directly to store or make them not account bound. Or something.

I been dropping event boxes, bonfires, banners, food, npc’s all over my server all day long lol. It’s not game changing amazing, but its what I do :P NSP

It disappoints me that I am so discouraged by greedy business practices instead of the fun loving, eager to please ANET of yesteryear.

Exactly!

Geotherma.2395:

$300? I’m sorry I just can’t see this.. I know RNG is RNG but I got my first ticket on key 58. I did an additional 80 and ended up with 3. I too spend large amounts on the gem store for events and things, but $300 for keys is like 265 keys? I just can’t imagine the RNG gods hating someone so much. And on top of that, 265 keys HAD to of gotten you at least 50+ more keys making it over 300. Not calling liar here, but really… This for me is just hard to believe. This is why I always record my results.

You are in fact calling him a liar because of how repetitive you are about how hard to believe it is.

I opened 129 chests and have gotten 0 tickets before quitting, while knowing people who’ve gotten 1~2 tickets out of 5~10 chests.

Just because you were lucky with RNG to some extent, doesn’t ensure others are/will be as well.

I just prefer proof over statements. AS anyone can say “I spent X amount and got X amount.” That is all. On top of that some people start threads about how low drops are for X item, simply to try and change the market. And its not just player/player market, its possible with enough backing people could influence prices of Gem store items through forum threads over time. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. Also these people never mentioned what ELSE they got. Check the Egg thread where someone made the egg price rise. There are a ton of examples you can see over the forums of people doing this. Not saying thats what this is, or that they are lying, I’m simply skeptical and personally like proof over text.

I do agree the drop is low chance, and that RNG is a very funny thing though. But this is exactly why I see these skins as my “legendarys”, and will never feel the need to have any of the actual legendary skins.

Daywolf.2630:

Monsoon.2589:

Hence why I made this topic

For trolling? No seriously, just use the stupid website (or mobile app as I use), this isn’t wow. They said they were going to improve lfg, I can’t think of many/any mmo’s that launched with a complete lfg system. So, spam lfg for a bit, then use the app or site. Actually I quite like the app on my tablet, ANET should make one :P

Didn’t Aion launch with a lfg tool, and ffxi?

Wasn’t the sale on upgrades(slots) in February, or late Feb?

Edit: Looking online I think it might have been February 21. Having repeat sales isn’t something most companies do in such short of a time. That doesn’t mean however there won’t be more coming.

Or sorry it may have been Jan 5 and Feb ??-26th. Still can’t find an official page ^^;

ATC Alpha.4098:

Anyone tried the lesser kits? I get about the same amount of ectos using basic kits on CoF rares as I do with master kits. Usually use master kits for rares with upgrades.

There’s just no way I’m doing this :P It is at an insane loss, I’d much rather just assume since BL kits and Master kits have their stats worked out mostly, that I can trust the wiki on basics.

I will say I always use basics instead of crude for all salvageable items. Which again, on a large scale would be very expensive to test. Plus to really prove what you say, I’d need to see large samples and video evidence which is my core style of doing such tests.

Sojar.1495:

I’ve now dropped over $300 on getting a Fused weapon. I have yet to get a single Fused Ticket. I’m extremely angry about this, as I’ve had every single guildie who has tried spend $35 USD or less to get one.

After spending well in excess of $1,500 in the Gem Store since launch, I will no longer be spending any more money supporting this idiotic system. I would have gladly paid $10-$15 for a ticket directly out of the gem store. This is absurd and I feel robbed from my expenditures in the Gem Store.

At least one of my guildies sent me 100g to finish up saving for my precursor… otherwise, I would have spent those gems on something slightly more useful than the absurdly skewed chance for a Fused Ticket.

ANET, this type of business model is amazing for your profitability. But you’ve just lost over $2,000 in just this fiscal year from me. I was going to continue to support the game via the Gem Store, but after being ripped off in such a massive way…

I invite you to change it to a purchasable item, and perhaps give those who spent innumerable amounts of complimentary ticket as compensation. However, you guys won’t do that, since that requires appreciating your customers who support you via the Gem Store. I regret all the money I’ve spent in that Gem Store now, and I’m really upset that you’ve made me feel so slighted that I feel that way now. It disappoints me that I am so discouraged by greedy business practices instead of the fun loving, eager to please ANET of yesteryear.

$300? I’m sorry I just can’t see this.. I know RNG is RNG but I got my first ticket on key 58. I did an additional 80 and ended up with 3.

This is why I always record my results.

Open world PVP worked so well for Aion (NCSOFT) that they implemented a server (Channels) where no one could be attacked just so they could level because of all the griefing.

I PvE in WvW all the time, it is fun to kill level 80 monsters who aren’t undead… And yes, at any time I realize I can be attacked. But also, WvW isn’t meant really for 1v1, so introducing that into the PvE environment would agitate people so very bad as some have no chance to fight back as balance goes right now. On top of that no one wants to be zerged in Orr, or Queensdale, or Metrica…

People who want to pvp others in small groups do sPvP.
People who want to wage war on large groups or potshot stragglers, or PvE with a little more challenge and danger do WvW.
People who want to PvE, do PvE in the open world. Where they do no have to fear being attacked by people who mostly want to grief those who level. There is a place for everything, as I said Aion had to implement change because of how bad an idea this was. And it took them years to do so. The second this happens I’m off to FFXIV or ESO.

“In the next release we will adjust the way that world mega bosses award their loot. The current chests will stay lootable once per day per character, but each boss’s guaranteed rare item drop will be moved to a separate chest (visually similar to daily achievement reward chests) that can only be acquired once per day across an account.
Our intention with this change is to keep providing rewarding loot for world mega bosses while avoiding overwhelming participation in boss fights (and overwhelming the economy with rares) from players cycling through each character slot for each boss every day.”

Right now Overwolf is a UI app that allows you to view websites and has neat apps to it. If you have a guild website it’s easy enough to have players simply use the UI and chat, post to forums, and do much more all in game with the overlay.

Khal Drogo.9631:

I think your definition of “a lot” differs greatly with my definition.

I seriously doubt there are people who only do open-world PvE without doing dungeons and vice versa.

I would say it could be true. Some people hate dungeons, but do pve content, farming, events every day.

Allisa Wonderland.8192:

Yep, I bought keys too, during the sale. I spent enough in the cash shop of GW1 to know that if something you think you might need goes on sale – buy it! I hope the revenues generated by the sales keep our world growing and healthy.

The Twitter flash sale on the BL salvage kits did annoy me, but I’m guessing forum the lack of further flash sales that it didn’t go over so well.

One more day left? Black Lion salvage kits. Do it!! You know it will be the highest revenue day of the month

Thanks again for the great work.

I would say keys was the highest, and more so after the release of the new skins ^^

Opened 80 chests, 3 tickets (had one from before so thats 4 now). Lots of great other rewards too, think i shall do it again next week lol.

Icepick.5210:

Geotherma.2395:

It’s 8pm est (daily reset for me) I go do Shatterer and get 1 Guaranteed Rare in a bonus chest. This chest is in the right side and looks like a daily reward. On the ground is another chest. This one has no guarantee and RNG is there. So I loot that one too hoping ofr even more rares or better.

Ok so I’ve done shatterer on this character. Between now at 8pm Est tomorrow if I do shatter again on ANY character on THIS account, I will recieve nothing expcept xp karma.

8Pm rolls around again for me, now the reset occured. Gee shatterer happens to be up again after the reset, I do the event again, and get the bonus chest and the regular chest.

This is how it works. Apply this to every boss chest you do that were listed on the forums and its teh same result.

1 bonus per account per day per event.
1 regular chest per account per day per event.
1 day = 24hour server reset time.
Account= all characters pertaining to your entire GW2 account.
Event= any event that gives a chest and is included in the new system.

Additionally you now need to be level 40+ to receive the bonus chest.

Regular chest is per character, not account. I verified this last night doing Behemoth several times.

I did this as well, and did not work acrossed characters. Wondering if this is a glitch, maybe a dev can clarify. As far as I knew both chests are account wide. I could be wrong though, I’m not one of the people who spammed 8 alts for loot. ^^

It’s 8pm est (daily reset for me) I go do Shatterer and get 1 Guaranteed Rare in a bonus chest. This chest is in the right side and looks like a daily reward. On the ground is another chest. This one has no guarantee and RNG is there. So I loot that one too hoping ofr even more rares or better.

You didn’t read my message.

“without repping someone else’s guild”

I have my own guild, and as far as I’m hearing, it’s too small to do the “main” events.

As I said, get influence by doing training bounty’s. If you don’t have PvP Tier 3, it isn’t that expensive and shouldn’t take long to achieve. Even my personal guild has pvp 3.

Gain influence normally, events/wvw etc etc. And/or you can buy some with gold if you wish until you hit pvp III.

Once you do, do the training (in your own guild) simply ask for help in map if you need. Do this until you have enough influence to unlock Bounty Missions, then do them. Same thing, ask in map if you are having trouble.

From what i can tell, and correct me if wrong, pvp III is only 6k influence. Which is 12g directly, or maybe a month or so if you have a super small guild. But if 6 of you pitch in 2g in influence…

edit:math fail

Allisa Wonderland.8192:

1. I read on there that we wouldn’t get guild commendations.
2. I read on here that this was supposed to be something for smaller guilds

So, I expected #1.. but I don’t get why even bother. I need guild commendations for those new minis, correct? How can I possibly ever earn them without repping someone else’s guild? If there is a way, please tell me I will <3 you forever.

Be in a guild-help them get influence to open the bounty’s, do bounty’s.
When in need ask in map if anyone can help, chances are… they will.
Mission complete.
Doesn’t work? Try it again.
Not enough influence? Do all above with training until you do.

Serophous.9085:

Geotherma.2395:

1. The bounty training is for.. Training.
2. It rewards 3,000 influence for small guilds who may have trouble unlocking regular ones.
3. They are meant to help you obtain the regular bounty missions over time as was the complaint of small guilds “we don’t make enough influence”.
4. Almost every guild I’ve seen has offered help to small guilds to complete bounties if they ASK.

If i am ever ikittenone and I see a bounty person, I call it out in map chat with the closest waypoint. If I see a guild fighting a bounty I (and sometimes my other guildies) will hop in to help

Exactly. The game was built on working together, think people forget this.

Flamenco.3894:

3k influence is equal to 3 gold

Might as well do 3 or 4 cof p1 runs with a zerk group (4 warrior 1 mesmers)

3k influence would be 6g not 3.

2g = 1k influence.

Coin
You can buy influence with coin at a Guild Promoter at a rate of 20 per point in the following increments:

10i for 2s
100i for 20s
1,000i for 2g
10,000i for 20g

Today i saw 4 bots farming in one tricky spawn location (they even teleport to mobs).
My first idea was report them, but then i remember that they are the ONLY mat offerers in ALL game because its hell more profit farm 5g/hour in cof P1 that farm mats, because its imposible to do that!
I want to farm the things i need. Not farm gold to BUY things i need. But that, in the current game state, its literaly imposible. The time/item exchange its insane for almost all materials, specialy precursors, T6 and lodestones.
The gold/item exchange in tp its just a derivation of the real problem.

But I make 5+g off selling mats from orr… am i doing it wrong?

I don’t think that’s per hour or is it?

For me it is

Avigrus.2871:

Geotherma.2395:

When a pacth comes and something is perhaps taken away, most often I see people complain that what they liked is gone. But rarely do I see those same people suggest what to fill in the gaps with that would be more beneficial than what we had.

There are pages and pages and pages of suggestions… A-net doesn’t care about our suggestions or thoughts… that is pretty clear.

I beg to differ, based on loads of patches that specifically were from or mentioned by forum posts first before ever being mentioned in game/forums by devs.

My first idea was report them, but then i remember that they are the ONLY mat offerers in ALL game because its hell more profit farm 5g/hour in cof P1 that farm mats, because its imposible to do that!
I want to farm the things i need. Not farm gold to BUY things i need. But that, in the current game state, its literaly imposible. The time/item exchange its insane for almost all materials, specialy precursors, T6 and lodestones.
The gold/item exchange in tp its just a derivation of the real problem.

But I make 5+g off selling mats from orr… am i doing it wrong?

I actually think this game is awesome for people who don’t like people.

You often don’t have to party up, even for champions.

People are just there. They will come along and help and don’t steal your loot. Perfect for anti-social gamers. Dungeons or Fractals are going to require a team, but it shouldn’t be so bad to be on a team once in awhile.

I like this, that the game was made in a way that doesn’t support griefing or elitism. Theres one team I want to see right now and that is an army of asura thieves all in Golemn Suites. I want norther shiverpeaks to look like Mech Warrior, if only for a day ^^

Personally I think the Email Authentication, plus the Mobile Authentication, AND a “text” authenticater would be ideal. An app is nice but not everyone has android or smart phones. As in other games from NCSOFT they could add a clickable code when you log in to deter keyloggers.

You log in authenticate your IP and your set.
Someone else logs in different IP, or who doesn’t know your info:
Required Email Authentication. Pass that?
Require text authentication. Pass that?
Require Passcode on screen display clickable only numbers.

Fail any of those and they are denied, you are sent an email/text/game message. Change any info that may have been compromised, and your all set.

I’ve been thinking about this more and more with all the threads complaining about it.

I really do think it’s a good thing. I don’t think they’re going to change it this time around, but for the future, perhaps a combination of ideas could work.

Right now, they’ve got a token you can turn in for the skin of your choice at a vendor contained in a chest guarded by RNG. I like this idea because you don’t continually have to fight RNG to get the skin you want. If you get a token, you get the skin you want. Perfect!!!

This is the ONLY way to get the item though….by fighting the RNG guard. I think this is where the biggest heartburn throughout the community is.

If they were to add the skins to the Gem Store for purchase, that would appease many of the players….depending on the price of course. If it’s too low, no one will fight the RNG guard for their skin because it’s “cheaper” to just buy the skin. If the price is too high, people will complain that they’re forcing us to fight the RNG guard for our skin. There has to be a balance. The community wants their pretty new shiny and Anet wants to make money.

What should the price in the Gem Store be though? Personally, I think it should be a value in Gems corresponding to the value in Gems of the keys (125 Gems per key) used to open the chest and the % chance of getting the item FROM the chest. Where would that put the price though?

If the % chance of getting a skin token is 1%, then it “should” take about 100 chest openings to get the skin you want. That would make the price 12,500 Gems per skin.

If the % chance is 0.5%, it should cost about 25,000 Gems per skin.

25,000 Gems seems totally unreasonable though. In USD, that’s $312.50.

Even at 12,500 Gems it’s bordering on ridiculous…..$156.25

How much should a skin cost? I would say around $25. That puts it around 2,000 Gems. Total reasonable. Totally understandable. It’s a rare skin. It should have a high price. If you don’t like the high price, then gamble for it, but it’s not likely you’ll get one unless I’m totally underestimating the drop rate of the skin from the chest.

I thought 800-1200 ($10-$15) was fine for the skin price with gems. $25 is almost half the price of the game itself, more than half if you bought it discounted. ^^ The reason for my price would be, take a look at Dagger(s)/Sword(s). That gets pricey.

I liked the idea someone had about getting a ticket for completing the Living Story story arc.

That seems good too.

60 keys, got my shortbow. My quest for my legendary skin is over ^^ will never need/want another skin. lol

I’ve been playing since mid-december and haven’t even seen one of these bosses yet. If it weren’t for the forums talking about them being nerfed and whatnot, I’d not even know they existed.

Seriously?

Lol if you ever owned or own a house, or worked in landscaping, you should already hate them :P

Edit: Just seen “less than a minute from now” next to when i posted. Apparent;y I’m posting into the future!

As my speech teacher would say "He has so many “uhs” its hard to tell if he has any idea what hes talking about after counting 39 of them." That’s what i got from it.

Games devs develop games, not speeches.
It’s easy to stumble on words when you have so many things you want to tell someone, and then there’s some NDA stuff you want to say but can’t.

I know, I was just picking :P But I would say that they do tend to accidentally say things in a wrong way that gets taken wrong because of lack of detail or clarification. People on the interwebs will read so far into what someone says if there is even the slightest bit of space to do so. But also, people who went to college took speech classes and public speaking i would assume, so the “uhs” are more of a training exercise than saying that they couldn’t speak better :P

But anyway, the vid is interesting, I think the game has changed over time. But maybe we can look at this again after 2-4 patches and be even more amazed at how far we have come.
