Guild Wars 2

I’ve actually been wondering for a while if they’re holding back on accountbound wxp because they’ve realized it would lead to an overnight jump in how prevalent these are.

TomEdo.4185:

I’d like ANet to consider allowing players to get transmutation crystals somehow without involving gems.

You can get some as zone completion rewards.

insanemaniac.2456:

pls no derailing
leave discussion..

This isn’t a polling center, forum threads are meant for discussion.

No.

Do players on servers T3 and above want to be divided up equally across all the other servers?

Dee Jay.2460:

There’s nothing cool or honorable about playing on a low-population server. It just means you’re constantly outmanned and outgunned and can’t actually engage in PvP.

This makes no sense whatsoever.

every low tier server is outnumbered by… every other low tier servers?

Kal Spiro.9745:

They autorun to avoid the AFK timeout…

Didn’t they fix that a while back? I don’t think auto-run/auto-cast have an impact on the AFK timer anymore… it detects player input, not character actions.

Kal Spiro.9745:

No, seriously. Some of them may be, but the ones clustered around the gate the entire time are leechers, period. That’s a thing.

That’s my point though… some of them are, but some of them aren’t.

and there’s no way to tell which is which from a quick glance at them as you run past, at least not unless you yourself are also standing by the door the whole time.

work != play.

brush us off with sneering comments about casual and carebears all you want… anyone repeatedly doing something they don’t enjoy for a reward they don’t want/need is kind of insane. Especially if they paid to do it.

It’s not like the rewards are any kind of surprise once you’re at scale 44, you already KNOW the reward isn’t enough to offset your time/effort and yet you do it anyway, over and over.

same, I’m happy with my server and have no interest in being shifted up to more crowded tiers.

seems logical to me.

Playing a game is not an investment.

While it’s easy to assume that everyone not moving is some lazy leech that refuses to help.. a lot of them are:

- alt-tabbed to an achievement guide to figure out their next step.
- clearing some inventory by using the Trading Post.
- chatting with others, possibly to co-ordinate events.
- still loading in.

Nick.6972:

Just finished FOTM scale 44.
Almost 2 hours.

Did you have fun?

That page is a user edited list of rumours and random things that devs mentioned once, off-hand, months ago.

the only thing on that page that’s actually been confirmed is the removal of Glory.

Aquila.5142:

What is the reason for such a long emote range? People who don’t roleplay certainly don’t care,

False.

emotes are used in WvW to communicate with the enemy. being able to wave and bow without being in combat range is pretty important.

Lankybird.8149:

You can’t say it is worth french and German but not Polish.

Sure you can, Poland has half the population of Germany and slightly more than half that of France(also, French is an official language in many other countries as well)

mjasa.5821:

I see many people asking but no answer, really.

And you thought asking for a 15th time would produce a different result?

webtoehobbit.4201:

I really wish that ANet would get the reward priorities set straight, I mean, give us 20 heirlooms for getting 1,200 citizens, then people would ALWAYS get 1,200 citizens,

that doesn’t make any sense, there are tons of ppl doing the event that don’t care about heirlooms at all.

I know I sure don’t.

as for Dragonite: capturing WvW Keeps/SM a few times a week will get you to 500 relatively fast.

Mazreal Blackknight.1564:

I hope they have some use I have 12 stacks sitting in my inventory.

that’s enough for 3 ascended back pieces.

pierwola.9602:

- Players can store supplies in Supply Depots, as long as they comes from enemies player/doly (players can’t transport supply between Supply Depots).

How would it know where you got the supplies from?

overall this seems really convoluted without any real benefit.

“flavor of the weak”

Another way to get Dragonite Ore is by taking Keeps in WvW.

You’ll be subject to your server’s activity just like with temple, but at least it’s another option. I mostly play NA mornings so I usually miss out on temple runs but i can join the morning zerg to recapture all the keeps.

Rallar.2986:

a hinted change to spvp including game modes being said.

Source?

/15chars

Don’t expect an expansion any time soon(ie: not this year) and don’t expect to be able to buy it with gems.

fotm ftw!

it’s kind of silly how much the build has taken over in the last week or two. All my hotjoin matches of the last few days have been 50+% engineers.

Stormcrow.7513:

I don’t see why they can’t. I mean it was put into GW1 which, has the same engine. The only issue could be that GW1 was mostly instanced while GW2 is not. Either way, they really need to implement this ASAP as a giant QOL service.

That difference is the reason. GW1 could keep a spot for you in the instance because it was YOUR instance.

a specific overflow shard of an open world zone is shared by tons of players and is not tied directly to your account.. if you exit it(through a DC/crash for example), it doesn’t track you and it won’t recognize you when you try to rejoin the same zone.

That’s why being in a party is important for big events, the other players in your party are your anchor to that specific overflow shard.

If you are “still waiting for a real competitive pvp”.. no patch will ever satisfy you.

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

There could have been a personal revive and encourage counter also. After the event you would see Braham and Roxx telling each other how many citizens they rescued… like Legolas teasing Gimli how many kills he got. And players whould get +10 extra bags for every 10 citizens rescued.

The problem with personal rewards tied to # of citizens saved is that it would lead to players fighting over citizens to rescue.

Terravos.4059:

I have never seen an MMO to date have the performance that ESO has in PvP

Given that the game has only been experienced in limited beta.. that’s not really saying much is it?

WvW ran pretty fantastic too during the BWE when there was only a few thousand ppl connecting to the servers.

Levis.6137:

So if you are not in love with the current state of the game, just FIFO and play other stuff.

ps: FIFO means First In, First Out.

Rickster.8752:

I am almost certain that new game modes will be hotjoin/custom arena only.

….

The fact they haven’t said there will be a tournament queue for these game modes confirms to me that there won’t be one.

What new game modes are you talking about?

See that link on the page that lets you refresh the data?

click it and the mystery will be solved!

Also, Anet doesn’t manage the wiki, any info there is user submitted.

important clarification: when ppl go on about necros not being good and/or wanted in PvE… they’re strictly speaking of dungeons/fractals and only in the context of “you don’t DPS as much as a zerk warrior”.

necros do just fine in open world content or in instanced content with non-leet players.

over the last month or so there’s been a lot of issues with some games and associated services getting DDOSed, GW2 was one such target.

If you recently experienced way more lag than you would usually in the same circumstances, this was likely the cause.

sorudo.9054:

a “HUB” should always be in an instance, no need to clutter the open world areas with unnecessary ppl walking around.

AKA social interaction.

@OP: I think you should do a bit of reading about the overflow system, you seem to have a few misconceptions about how it works.

It’s a gorgeous map that should be a lot of fun once the population levels in it drop a bit.

Anchoku.8142:

Wow, so much material cost for a backpiece’s stats!

Why?

Because it’s BiS with an uncommon skin

CMstorm.8679:

what if it was changed so that their skills and attack speed were slowed by X% for a few seconds?

Then it would become “Chilled”.

wildcode.5403:

am wondering if it is possible to just buy a key, without the digital download

Can’t play the game without downloading it.

ie: when you buy the digital version, you get a key, that’s what you’re paying for.

Avigrus.2871:

I only see hybrid Necros running Dhummfire after this.

Since it would no longer be an on-crit proc, it loses the synergy it had with hybrid builds.

If anyone is left using it, it’ll be in Power/DS builds.

Vavume.8065:

I think the system for choosing Red Blue and Green needs to be changed to be much more random, so that there will be a balance in numbers per team

making it more random rarely leads to better balance.

Cyvien.8049:

let it differentiate who is or not leeching base on a just algorithm.

Whatever system you devise, it will have ways of getting around it and it will unfairly punish some players.

So since no system is perfect, just leave the AFK timer as is and stop caring about what other players are (not) doing.

Fror.2163:

so… I’m posting exactly where it should be.

Then you’ll have to live with everybody else chiming in and not treat it like your personal correspondence with the dev team.

Fror.2163:

Plus, this topic is clearly not addressed to any of you, but to ArenaNet.

That’s not how these forums work.

This is an area for players to discuss elements of the game, by posting here you are implicitly asking everyone else to comment on it.

If you want to communicate directly with Anet, create a support ticket.

nope, you still max out at regular speed+33%. The trait says 50% so that it would still hit max while in combat but unfortunately that’s bugged right now so you just get combat speed+33%.

it’s additive, just like boon/condition duration modifiers

Hotjoin is simply the better option for a lot of players.. it has nothing to do with skill/competition level, it’s just easier to catch a quick game and make changes when you’re not having fun.

I’m at the point where I’m experienced enough that I could switch to mostly playing in soloQ/teamQ.. but whenever I try it.. the ratio of “time I’m playing” vs “time I’m waiting for a game to start” is simply not worth it.

+Bloodlust + Masteries

arguably you didn’t start gathering your first material today though, you’ve been accumulating them for just such an occasion.

that or you sold them all as you got them, in which case you have the money to buy the ones you need.
