got one from the mystic forge at about 1300 hrs

gotta agree tho its really how you spend your time not how much time you spend
there are plenty of things you could be spending time on that will up your time spent but not even give a chance for a precursor

Are you doing that thing where you open all your bags on a lower level character for better value salvaged mats? because the side effect of that is you wont get any ascended materials like dragonite ore, empyreal fragments and bloodstone dust

The drop rate is stupid. If the OP harvested over 500 corals, they should have gotten the required amount. The very idea that a player needs to have multiple characters parked or ready to harvest a single item is pathetic. I am not one of them, but there are people in game who like to play on just one character. Forcing them to create alts is just more typical Anet “content extension” and gem store sales psychology.

No one forced them to use alts. They OPTED to use alts in order to speed up a process that is INTENDED to be long.

You have the option to pay for convenience. No one is forcing you to do it.

Keep making excuses for them. You have no proof that this specific item was intended to be some convoluted stupidly long process. Stop making things up.

if they didnt intend it to be a long process then surely they didnt also have a secret evil plan to force people to have a lot of alts to farm the thing like you were suggesting previously…

yes it sounds like it is an issue but id be surprised to hear it was intentionally done this way

Summer Quarterly update

Gift of Battle Feedback [merged]

in WvW

Posted by: Goatjugsoup.8637

Goatjugsoup.8637

Nah i think having it on a wvw track is a good idea but the reward track system should be implemented a little better. I don’t think having a cap on the amount of points you can get per tick is good, after you reach that cap you can’t do anything at all to gain additional progress and it puts a needless time gate on getting that gift of battle while in the meantime you aren’t encouraged to do much more if your only goal in wvw was to go after that gift.

One idea i have is that perhaps it could get exponentially harder to get to the next tier of points per tick, there would continue to be a point to participating in wvw content to get even faster progress on the track.

Another idea is to have no cap on points per tick at all but instead to have a cap on rewards per day. It could even be balanced exactly as it is now so that you couldn’t exceed the amount of rewards you could get in a day through the current system but it would be better because even if you don’t like wvw you would be encouraged to participate more to min max the time spent in wvw versus the reward track progress

heard something about the making of a certain part of the latest raid wing that i think would be beneficial to apply here. something to the tune of they wanted people to be able to show their mastery of the area by learning it so they didn’t make it random…

random sucks, especially when it doesnt appear to take into account if a given set is possible to gold on

Legendary foe drops

Goatjugsoup.8637

yeah i agree with this sentiment. it was a good battle and i liked doing it but it was a lot of trouble for the reward you get considering the biggest reward was first time only.

considering the amount of time and effort it took to complete im now in a position where i have really little incentive to do it again. the very least that should have been done was add a repeatable achievement like with the bandit contracts

People actually play Orr? What do you even do there? I thought that place existed only to farm that Melandru shrine.

I came across that problem a lot so it was noticeable to me that the last patch notes noted a fix for that event chain among them. have not actually been doing it since then though

Day/Night Cycle Icon PLZ!

Posted by: Goatjugsoup.8637

Goatjugsoup.8637

i reckon it would be a cool thing to have, maybe just a little circle somewhere on the ui with half of it repping daytime, the other half repping nighttime and it just rotates as in game time goes by.

Also plus 1(to the power of infinity) to the idea of making nighttime darker because as is if you are not looking out for it there is very little to make you notice it is actually nighttime unless you are in verdant brink where the whole map revolves around it

its bad in the sense that we shouldnt be needing to do this to get into populated maps, the mega server system should be appropriately filtering us into the next shard that needs filling

uhm…. lol its the lanes fault fault.
just because someone is commander tagged does not mean that you have to follow them off the cliff
there is no commander tag limit (or if there is its not prohibitive at all), nothing stopping anyone else from tagging up
there is map chat so you could communicate maybe this person doesnt know what they are doing and could communicate what does need to be done
plus each individual player has a responsibility for themselves to have some idea what is going on

S: Decouple recruiting from editing ranks

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Goatjugsoup.8637

Goatjugsoup.8637

I really think it is important that the permissions for recruiting new members is not linked to permissions for promoting/kicking or editing lower rank permissions.
Letting your guildies invite who they want is a permission it is easy to see wanting to allow to more people whereas that same thing is not neccessarily true of promoting/kicking

Guild Issues (venting anger).

Goatjugsoup.8637

i actually think it is better if you can get people to care about ur guild because they care about it and not because they mechanically have to (this guild or the highway buddy)
also i think if they take all the incentives of going to towns out of the game (i.e. trading post, crafting stations) that would end up being bad for the game
people would have less to no reason to go to towns, newbies would enter them and worry the game is dead and perhaps be turned off because of it

is this intentional? gen2axe

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Goatjugsoup.8637

Goatjugsoup.8637

Didnt know if i would have enough characters to type the question i wanna ask in the title.
Anyways i finally got astralaria last night and was pretty excited about it particularly the idea of double axing and having that arm effect on the whole time. The only problem is the videos I had seen previously were of that effect on a human. It covers the arms nicely and looks pretty cool.
My ranger though is a Charr and the effect on his arms is patchy as, does not look anywhere near as good. I also have a lower level human ranger so I tested it on that character to make sure that good effect I had seen before actually made it into the game and it did.

My question is is that intentional for the astralaria arm effect to look that way on charr or is it a bug that will get fixed?

Cheers

Orr Meta Issue Re: mega servers

problem with that theory is it assumes there are other shards available… similar thing just happened now and like last time I tried guesting passes to other worlds, checked with /ip and it just put me on the same shard, there was nothing in lfg.

Orr Meta Issue Re: mega servers

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Goatjugsoup.8637

Goatjugsoup.8637

So yesterday I was doing temple events in Orr for a legendary journey. A large group of us cleared the pres and then completed Balthazar temple and the eye. I afterwards went to Cursed Shore intending to do Melandru and Grenth temples.

First off there was some kind of bug with Melandru where the guy who starts the first event would not move at all even though the event ui was up, he didnt even move out of the base. That’s a problem but its not actually what I came here for.

After that issue had occured I actually took the time to have a good look at the map and noticed I had been put into a map shard that had none of the temples cleansed, not even the Balthazar one which I had just finished. I believe it has something to do with mega servers and how each shard relates to each other but I think that as it is it’s pretty terrible.

I don’t have any solutions in mind but can’t remember seeing any topics re: this issue so I just came to point my finger at it.

So hey, medium armor.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Goatjugsoup.8637

Goatjugsoup.8637

personally i think the whole different skins for different armor classes drags the whole system down.
yes it would seem strange if a heavy weight class skinned something light and skimpy and still had heavy armor stats BUT i think it is a leap of logic most players would be willing to take for more skin diversity.
The other side of the coin would be more dev work to make sure the different bits and pieces all clip together well but in the end I think it would work out in their favor (only having to make 5-10 versions of an armor set depending on if they account gender as opposed to 15-30 if they also include weight class)

If they sold them as skins rather than actual items, they might sell more.

I completely agree on this. I’d have bought the Cosmic tool if that was the case but I refuse to swap from my Watchwork pick as it gives me sprockets.

yeah they totally boxed themselves into a bad situation with that one because i found myself in the same position, wanting the cosmic tool but not wanting to part with getting a little extra for my troubles (sprockets)

Amalgamated Gemstone supply unsustainable

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Goatjugsoup.8637

Goatjugsoup.8637

i actually dont think this is a problem. supply of amalgamated gemstones is also supplemented by mystic forging t5 gems and medallions as well as possible crit chancing off the 10 amalgamated recipe to 25.
also even though the supply of those t5 gems and medallions is also rng ive found the rate to be reasonable enough.

also as long as there is no new sink created for amalgamated gemstones the demand should simmer down after a while
