Guild Wars 2

Aoe Loot is more like a temporary hotfix than a solution. Anet cant honestly expect us to run around pressing the loot button every other second during a fight. It’s a wonder no one sued them yet because of all the unnecessary clicking and button pressing we have to do in this game. It worked against Nintendo in the Mario Party case…

Not sure if that is a solution. It’s not like i never get 30 (31) Fps if I have Frame Limiter set to 30.
It’s just that sometimes i get less FPS than I would with Frame Limiter set to 60 which in turn is worse than unlimited. If those 25 FPS were genuine, my FPS should stay at 25 regardless of higher Frame Limiter settings.

Maybe it’s some sort of server throttling that influences everyone? Or some graka energy-saving feature that activates because of lower utilization when set to 30? .. or a bug with the Limiter?

No, it’s at 60Hz, according to amd driver CCC.

If I take “30” i often only get 25 FPS.. however, if i change it to 60 I get about 50..

Shouldnt that mean I should get the full 30 at 30?

The reason we dont get to hear future plans is because Anet doesnt know what they are doing themselves. That much is clear if you look at all the inconsistencies in the game.
Rewarded Achievements Points are completely random(sometimes very hard/time consuming Achievements award next to nothing, sometimes extremely cheap ones award 10 ap.)
new currencies dont use the wallet
new maps dont award Map completion rewards
new skills get introduced and completely forgotten (Antitoxin Spray)
Stupid decisions like not awarding exp for some enemies -> half the sigils malfunction
New features get introduced that depend on existing content, content that is still bugged (collections).. -> Bugs never get fixed if they are older than a week.
etc.

They dont know where this game is going any more then we do. There is no long term planning, or it is subject to change every week. <<They dont commit to anything>>

I want to be able to safe my Traits configuration, make one safe slot free as qol improvement and put each additional slot for 1000 gems in the store.

Those invulnerable NPCs can be abused for points to get credit as a ghost without villager kills.. That may be intended.

Use the wallet!

Agreed, villager scores should have counted for participation.

According to my experience (I did the 50ap and often went afk once I became a ghost), they do count, if you make points that are not awarded by survival time. -> doing the events and running around avoiding ghosts. (which is much more fun than simply hiding till the timer runs out)

Does the spoon drop in low level fractals?

We already have ridiculous wings, so there is really no reason not to include tails..

Just get yourself a zerg.. searching for people via the lfg tool works.

Alright, thanks for the answers!

They could also just add a second BL vendor.. you know, like they have for cultural skins..

So.. with all that Halloween MF Bufffood that requires boons to work..

At what point in time is the MF value determined?

Do i have to have to have a boon active at the first hit? Do I have to have it active at the time the enemy is killed? What if i had a boon during combat, but it ran out of time before the enemy went down?

It isnt an exploit though.. it’s not like people do it on purpose.

I dont think this is a bug. Only if you win the lottery you get +1 there I guess.

I dont have a problem with this.. If someone wants to pay instead of just using the ingame way of gathering tickets, then he may just want to win that much more than you do (..and has the means to afford it) Anet profits, and the people who want it so much they are willing to invest real money profit, while people who just want to play still have a chance to win something..

They were exclusive for a year. Thats more than enough time, so no reason to feel “cheated”..

Prices are rising again.. that alone should be a pretty good indicator.. Of course, it could just be that people farm it less, but, demand should also have dropped for that price range.

Efficiency-obsession is a direct result of the insane grind requirements to accomplish anything.

Is this only a graphical bug, or do they really have a wider dmg radius?

I actually like the “more racial sub factions for everyone!” thing. Unfortunatley, Anet doesnt seem have the manpower to advance more than one story at a time, so it is a bad idea after all :-/

Wow, Anet is certainly working hard this month, keep it up :-)

Which brings prices down and is good for the community as a whole..

I would like a Ranger pet collection. Maybe with a new pet as reward..

Just play something else for now, and come back with the next content update.

How recently is “very recently”? What is the reason for that mechanic?
And if it is to avoid some sort of possible abuse, should it really disrupt honest gameplay?

It can be vendored? kitten , then i destroyed them pointlessly -_-

If your server has absolutely no chance at winning the season, that goal is kinda iffy..

Could you please put a similar mechanic into eotm?
Im not asking the eotm map to only be closed when the population is low, but also when the population of two sides is low and the third one high.
Just last night i got into a map where everything was already green and we were reduced to farming aetherblade pirates because there was literally no one around flipping stuff for the other teams..

It still drops too often though. I fought teq four or 5 times since the patch and got one every time.. I would rather get normal junk than this spoon.. at least that can be sold to vendors..

The ones you need dont show up at the map the first time, unless you are near them. They are at the start of the starting zones.

With 25 gold you can easily buy a full exotic armor set from the trading post.

Don’t buy Karma/WvW Badge gear if you want to use expensive sigils, because that gear cant be salvaged and your sigils will be lost if you decide you want gear with different stats.

Laurels can be used to buy ascended accessories, if you play WvW though, you better buy them at the laurel vendor there in combination with badges, it’s much cheaper..

That said, with 25 gold you dont even need to think about replacing your exotic armor with ascended armor. You will need much, much more than that

Well.. cant really blame Anet for this, a lot of WvWers in the forum demanded Anet do away with achievements for wvw seasons because all those pve players ruined their wvw experience….

That kind of insane ideas have no place here.

Well, maybe Anet wasnt wrong about 300? gold per color after all..

Well, there is a skin like http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Candy-Cane_Hammer_Skin for every weapon.

Just got a collection Item that enabled “grawl weapon” collection.. so, maybe it is already there and you just have to enable it somehow..

No, they are not harder than they seem.. as a matter of fact, Anet already changed those supply achievements a long time ago, there is no reason why they couldnt have changed all of them..
(no reason except for "I would rather invest that one hour I get allowed to use for WvW development per year to bring you 1 new trap and 1 new trick.. it was either that or achievements.)

I miss all of them. They are not in the bank and not in the wardrobe.. Not even the account bound ones…

Edit: Nevermind. I was looking at the wrong bank tab.. it’s where the crafting stuff is..

Please read that again. What you said, is exactly what I implied.

Raising the level cap without content to go along with it is utterly pointless..

Pretty sure it wont be that easy.. there are 52? Trash slots to be filled and i’m sure you have to have the stuff in your inventory to make it count..

kitten, i kept that Eternal Ice that dropped for me a few days ago because i was sure it would be useful for the collections, but i didnt think to buy the stuff up -_- It was still cheap at that time..

I’m not sure Gift of Exploration would be worth much more than those 12.80 if it was tradeable. There are a lot more Gifts around than precursors.

Please dont. That will just drive prices up even more.

I suggest people better dont expect this to be implemented anytime this year, or even next..
Chances are that it wont be implemented at all, because more or less everything will have to be changed and that’s not really worth the effort when you can make new stories instead.. Anet has shown that their priorities evolve fast, so even if they would like to do this now, doesnt mean it wont get pushed back again and again and again..

So guys, really, dont wait for this. If you read a summary I’m pretty sure you wont have trouble following the story after the first 2 S2 Episodes..

That is indeed a pretty suboptimal solution.. i dont get why we cant just get the tickets immediately after contributing enough to wvw, like those living story achievement chests..

Ask a friend to log in for you and collect the reward?

That’s why I said “and forgeable”. There will be no market crash because the demand that feature patch will generate will negate that.
