Guild Wars 2

I salvage everything except exotics (which i dont get) and some rares that im wasting on the forge (i should quit that). I usually check the TP for exotics and their rune/sigil (abbreviated R/S) to see the value. If the R/S is close to the value of the rare, i salvage and sell the R/S. If i need the skin, ill salvage it. If there is a sufficient difference between the R/S and the exotic and i dont need the skin i’ll sell the exotic. Theres also that rare chance that its an item with a salvageable inscription/insignia… I always salvage those

dropped this idea out a couple of months ago (dont necro it, just post on this topic)

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/suggestion-Elite-Map-Completion/first#post4694846

here is another topic from about 3 months ago that had several very nice suggestions with various hard mode ideas (its at least 3 pages worth of posts)(also, dont necro this one, its an infractable offense IIRC)

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/The-Case-for-a-PvE-Hard-Mode/first

Stronghold beta test tuesday! It’s new stuff for a day at any rate. It is looking like we wont get anything else until HoT comes out.

i think they might be dumping some of the stuff in with other patches. Some revenant stuff was buried in a patch they had about a month ago (i know this because someone datamined some revenant stuff).

All games will need most of the stuff in them because they will need to interact with it later. Say you got the expansion and i didnt. I would still need to have data on your revenant/specialization class or my game would not function properly in pvp. Therefore, they have to add anything that could have an effect on a non-expansion player (everything except the Heart of Maguuma maps). It only makes since for them to drop stuff early for everyone (excluding the HoM maps that is)

Headcase.4618:

Will we be able to play as a Revenant during this beta?

it doesnt look like that will be an option. It might still give progress toward reward tracks though since it is in the unranked que (as the only map choice from the looks of the post).

Ah the problems of the 1%. Ive never gotten a single ascended weapon/armor box, so i do not have this problem

i can see turret engi as having a place in this. Could use treb and deploy turrets there to “defend” himself.

well, i think i know what i’ll be doing on tuesday

sounds useful to me.

I would probably go a step further and have a “Set Loot Level” button. This would allow you to pick what level you were percieved as when it was loot time. If you picked level 5, then you would get level 5 loot regardless of the map. That might be taking it too far though.

But, yeah +1

if the TP were doing something like this to me, id just say forget it and list it for 1 copper more than the buy order. They should sell eventually.

ha, searching taco on the wiki pulls up the tequatl page

you can use the artificing crafting station to combine your luck so you have fewer clicks. always useful for luck at any rate

I currently use Heralded Achiever since i just recently got it.

I would like to have The Blazing Light since its difficult to get

I like to see TBL due to that fact

I’m not a huge fan of Mist Treader, due to how easiliy it was to get it (not that i really see it).

I think the Wurms Bane title should have been named the same as the achievement: Wurmicidal Maniac. I would totally wear that.

This would only be a temporary thing though. Surely it won’t take that long to rebuild LA if we give them stuff to build with

when you get a mini, you can add it to your wardrobe. This puts in under the minis tab when you go to the hero tab (H is default key). You can then set it as the mini that will be out whenever the map isnt full of people for any of your characters.

this must include T5 leather as well considering it is…worthless

it sounds much more like a level up system for the most part, except that you can choose what to level up in. For example, you choose to spend mastery points on gliding. You will then gain experience in gliding (in the Heart of Maguuma zones) and “level it up” in order to become more proficient at it. There also seem to be “purchase gates” in the system where you have to “buy more levels” with mastery points in order to progress further in a mastery, with mastery points being availible from completing various things around the world (NOT FROM LEVELING UP!!)

I think precursor hunts might unlock a collection, but they might also work in the same way (i guess you get the collection when you hit the needed “level”?)

The above is my speculation and how i took this system to work. At this point we are all really only guessing. We do know for sure that it will kick in once you hit 80 (and not before), that mastery points are gained from achievements/exploration (the above link mentions these), and a few of the masteries.

I usually check the sigil/rune price. sometimes when the exotic is worth more, it is just due to the sigil. I think the last exotic i got was a greatsword with a superior sigil of fire. The sword was worth almost 4 gold. The sigil was about that much. Always salvage when the sigil/rune is worth about as much as the item (unless you dont have a BLSK, then its your call). Also note, that some exotics can salvage inscriptions/insignias, which usually also go for 1.5-2 gold.

Exotics need some research and not just a default if this price, sell, kind of thing like rares get.

EDIT: your best bet to get exotics is to buy some stats that dont sell for much (ive seen some armors priced below a gold each), do some research and buy those exotics that are priced close to their sigil/rune price, or salvage dungeon armor (get dire/rabid/soldiers for a chance to get insignias for even more gold).

Counters to ranger as posted in some of the other topics:

•Reflect
•Line of Sight (hide behind a rock/tree. surprisingly large clumps of grass sometimes cause obstruction issues)
•Block
•Invuln/damage reduction
•Move out of range (1500 or 1800 or whatever =/= to infinite range)
•Move into melee range
•Shoot at it with your own range
•Dodge

oh, that would be great, especially since the ToT bag is soulbound.

+1

on my computer i normally have 15ish all the time. i have settings on lowest and my speakers are off, but i havent DCed in a while (i rarely ever lag either, even in blob vs blob instances)

I think they do currently have their voice recording actors there atm for the PS revamp (from the FAQ section in the topic about revamping the PS at the top of the page ATM)

guess i missed that oh well. at least my friend mentioned the sounds so i turned up my volume

i liked when my ranger bugged and shot arrows to the side, while still hitting things in front (barrage was extra funny). also fun to swim on the surface of the water. /sleep is pretty wild too. Wish i had thought to go to EOTM and jump off cliffs…

ironically i already had an aviator cap equipped on my character.

This is exciting. Guess i’ll complete my story now

Height inversion. norn/charr are now asura sized. Asura are giant. humans and sylvari shrink a little bit

linen farm coming *crosses fingers

Oddly, its wool that I have an issue with. =/

there will probably be one of those too, but i hate most of the 15-25 areas

linen farm coming *crosses fingers

My Reef Drake is named Face Ripper

My Marsh Drake is whatever i feel like at the moment. He’s been Bladder Control for a while (from the mordrem part stuff, might rename again when HoT comes out)

i like this idea.

Had a thought that may or may not be useful, posted it here

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/suggestion-Custom-Material-Slots/first#post4921067

i think they could start addressing this problem and several others this way

I’m crossing my fingers for linen as a reward in a mid level area

im excited about the potential linen rewards that might be on a random mid level map

i might be visiting areas like Iron Marches and Timberline Falls when the linen rewards are up for grabs (will be known as the “peak” time to be on those maps im sure)

I like the crafting as well. Guess i’d better get my last few crafts up to 500 then shouldnt i?

i took it to mean that they will reward events and jps etc with chests like they did in dry top/SW more than exploring the zone

examples of things i would put into custom material slots:

• Writs of Experience
• Tomes of Knowledge
• Blade Shards
• Foxfire Clusters
• Bandit Crests
• Geodes
• Zephyrite Lockpicks
• Silver Doubloons
• Mystic Forge Stones
• Flame Rams

Stuff im sure other people would put in besides what i have above:

• Pristine Fractal Relics
• Agony Infusion +1
• Essence of Luck (exotic)
• Bloodstone Dust
• Empyreal Fragment
• Dragonite Ore
• Heavy Moldy Bags
• Unidentified Dye
• Gifts of Exploration
• Vision Crystals
• Scrolls of Knowledge

This idea stems from the need to have things added to the crafting material section. The most common objection is that this would negate the need to buy bank tabs (which is usually countered by someone with all 12 bank tabs). Here is my solution that will bring in more gem store purchases and still alleviate this need:

Custom Material Slots

Custom Material Slots will allow you to place whatever stackable item you want into a new spot in the Crafting Material tab in the bank. This slot can be assigned (maybe right click the empty slot and select an “Assign Slot” option or something) to anything (barring stuff that Anet decides not to allow) that can stack. This would then add the item to the list of things to be deposited when the player hits “deposit all crafting materials.”

Here are several things that i could see going into these slots if they existed:

• Trophy/Token items (not the junk but stuff like foxfire clusters, Mystic Forge Stones, Geodes, Baubles etc)
• Crafting components (balls of dough, pie filling, weapon components etc)
• Champ/loot bags (this might be a stretch, but it could still work)
• Consumable items (piles of sand, tonics etc)
• extra crafting material slots for stuff that already exists in the crafting material tab (excess leather for example)
• Upgrade Components (Doubloons, Crests, Runes etc)

Custom Material Slots could be sold in the gemstore (maybe 10 for 400 gems or something like that). These slots should also work with the crafting material expander that currently adds a stack to the limit allowed in the crafting material tab.

Maybe an Anet employee could run a report every so often to see what people are keeping in their Custom Slots and if 95% of people with the slots have the same item in one of their spots, maybe there could be a new spot added to the regular crafting materials section, wallet, or even a new tab for something-tonic tab anyone?

This would be a great improvement to the already awesome crafting material tab!

doubloons are upgrade components, not crafting materials.

Blade Shards are only used for forging, not crafting.

The Gift of Blades and some of the sigil, rune, and utility recipies would like to have a word with you about that .

OK, my wording was off.
Blade Shards are categorized as mystic items, and doubloons as upgrade components.
They are not crafting materials.

to be fair, mystic coins are also mystic items and doubloons are suspiciously similar to gemstones

heres a post i made in a previous topic with the stuff you requested removed:

“yes please. And mystic forge stones, Augur stones, bloodstone shards, philosophers stones, crystals, as well as numerous cooking ingrediants made from other cooking things (balls of dough etc)

honestly any of those would be helpful."

i will always +1 these topics

i like these ideas. my only concern is the PPK idea. I can see “kill trolls” being a thing (basicly people who spawn and run to the enemy side and die over and over again even if it is just to guards at a nearby tower/camp if that even added points, i cant remember). other than that, it might not be too bad (still might not be terrible if groups are constantly fighting each other).

so this is the mysterious post bug

This topic again? Can we get this merged with the other 10 topics across this board, the wvw board, and the Spvp board please?

i dont think i need that many, but i should get some for when people want to tag random junk into the map chat

several have been mentioned already, but ill list my favorite things

• Sic em vs thieves in a zerg
• Pet names, Juvenile Reef Drake would just be depressing
• Taking down zerker rangers with my solder LB build
• surviving in an enemy zerg for 6.5 seconds as opposed to .5 seconds just because of SoS
• Being targeted first because people think you are running the zerker LB build only to outlast them
• Distracting RI supervisors in WvW by just swapping pets before one pet goes down
• RF off of a wall and being able to hit a target

The achievement chests dont have to be reverted even if the AP is. The game keeps up with which chests you get. say someone with 300 points got the 400 extra. They would get their 500 AP chest with the 1000 being the next one. When they get the 400 removed, they could keep the 500 chest and their next chest could still be the 1000 chest even if they still only have 300 AP. This would be the best fix for the issue. People who did get them would still be ahead with their chests (until they actually pass the AP number for that chest), but it wouldnt really matter in the long run even if they quit (who cares if an account that isnt used has 400 AP with their next chest at 1000?)

problem solved

I like this idea

It has very likely been hacked. I would put in a ticket and change your password at the very least. If you use the same password for anything else, i would probably change it there as well.

WvW Tournaments, where every other week is meaningless!
…or is it the other way around?

I’ve never been apart of a World vs. World (vs. World) tournament. What are they like?

basicly the same as every other week, except more people from your server will be in WvW (or in que if you are in a T1/T2 server), more people will care about winning, and there will be some shiny rewards at the end of each week/end of the tournament/for completing achievements (this was different with each tournament)

When the ogre camp is captured, they send out 2 raiding parties that go to the 2 nearest camps (Umber and Pang). I’m pretty sure these 2 parties have to be defeated as well.
