Guild Wars 2

Baratta.1083:

LOL Anet has magical influencing admin powers. I like the fact Anet is joining the fight and interacting with us. Some people will cry about anything get over it. I have fought with and killed a few Anet reps. The stupidity of anyone actually getting salty over this might want to start life over and grow up.

So, imagine this if you will. No guild with bonuses(very rare, I know) is available to claim a keep/tower/camp after it is taken. The group needs the +5 supply for their next attack. One of the players just happens to be an ANeT rep. He/She switches over to ANeT tag and claims the objective. ANeT has just influenced the game at that point and has taken sides.

The whole point here is, anyone who can be judge, jury, and executioner should never take sides. They should play anonymously and only put up their ANeT tag when necessary in WvW. There is no saltiness here, only logic.

HazyDaisy.4107:

Give me a break Anet guild has been claiming things everywhere for weeks now, no different than any other guild on any server, just that they don’t all play on the same server. The week before merge Anet claimed WC for BP (I have it on video), of course BP lost that week, ergo Anet claiming stuff for a server doesn’t make a bit of difference how the server does in the match.

The problem here is ANeT is the kittening ADMIN for the whole game. If they start taking sides it speaks ill of their so called “balance” and so called neutral existence. ANeT “employees” should never claim anything in WvW. They are breaking their own rules that they admonish players for “Interfering with other players enjoyment of the game”(something to that effect). It also makes it like they are playing favorites. As far as we have seen on our server ANeT hasn’t claimed anything, and we don’t want them to. Our guilds have built themselves up and can’t influence the game with Admin powers like ANeT can.

Jelly Pain.8027:

You might as well as Anet staff be on NSP server claiming towers and keeps to further rub it in. Ohh wait you already do. So thank you

I’ve been wondering this as well. I’m on HOD and some of our folks noticed that ANeT claimed some objectives. I thought ANeT was supposed to be neutral and not take sides. Seeing that ANeT has a 64 level “guild hall” the WvW buffs can be abused by devs and monitors who work for ANeT. This should be highly discouraged and against ANeT policies. Now if it was a mistake, so be it. But if ANeT reps are claiming objectives in WvW I find it highly unfair, seeing that I never see ANeT devs on HOD’s or DH’s server.

Thanks for the quick fix.

Thanathos.2063:

I got around 40 in 2-3 hours. You just need to follow the ley line champ and take care for its animations, as they indicate the direction where it throws its ley line balls.

If you’re lucky enough to be fast enough to get to the point and your animation isn’t delayed while someone else picks it up. I’ve had at least 7 or so that I thought I would get, but the other comes along after me and suddenly I don’t get to pick it up. Also, with tons of people your chances are slim to none of getting any.

After doing this 3 times I’ve only gotten a total of 4 convalescences. There are so many people that you barely get a chance to pick one up. Not to mention individual pick-up time – I could swear I was there first but the other person picks it up. This is going to cause a lot of grief.(and create griefers)
You need to make a lot more drop in each event. It seems like only 10 or so drop – for 30+ people. And each event is spread apart by 20 minutes.

ANeT created the daily cap on points to supposedly give newer players a chance to catch up.

If this were true…. why then are the “monthlies” still added to AP score?

The old monthlies are tallied in with the daily cap, thus artificially capping you before 15k total of daily achievements. So they kittened over those who have played since the beginning.

penelopehannibal, if you keep track of points, create a leader board that does so and give people a rank for the most of something, it becomes a competition plain and simple. Not to mention giving rewards for advancing. ANeT made it a competition by acknowledging how much someone has done and assigning RANK.

penelopehannibal.8947:

It’s not a competition.

If it isn’t, then why create a daily achievement limit?

Because it’s not a competition!

Heibi.4251:

And why is there a achievement point leader board, huh? Looks like a competition to me. It makes no sense. And they state it as to let newer players have a chance to catch up.

The leaderboard has everyone on the same ‘league’ – whether the person’s been playing for 1 day, or 1,374 days. If it is a competition, it isn’t a fair one.

Then, by your own words, it is a competition. Otherwise, why keep score, have a leader board, and give a ranking? The artificial cap just hurts people, it doesn’t help.

RoseofGilead.8907:

Heibi.4251:

Is this truly fair? No. Because everyone will be stuck at the same point. Or maybe that was ANeT’s view of fairness. Let the 30k+ achievement players remain unreachable.

The 30k+ achievement players also have the same cap that the 29k and below players do, though. They’re “unreachable” because they had access to all of the old achievements; and made sure they did every single achievement they could to get every point they could, even in game modes they might not care for. Even if Anet removed the daily AP cap, you’d still likely never catch up to them because they did all the other achievements everyone else didn’t/won’t do.

But the achievement chests remain unreachable with only 1’s, 2’s, 3’s and 5’s only available.

I never fully expected to catch the 30k+ players, but that was ANeT’s stated intent.

If it isn’t, then why create a daily achievement limit? And why is there a achievement point leader board, huh? Looks like a competition to me. It makes no sense. And they state it as to let newer players have a chance to catch up.

Either create more achievements or remove the daily achievement cap. I have hit the daily achievements cap and after looking through the achievement lists have discovered that there is very little to do except 1 point here or there. Oh, I have a few large ones available that I may get done given time, but not enough to advance much further beyond my current achievement level.

ANeT created the daily cap on points to supposedly give newer players a chance to catch up. Well, it will work, and we will all be stuck at the same point and the players in the 30,000pt range will never be threatened. I’ve been playing since the beta and was finally approaching 27k, but now I won’t reach it for many more months. At least with being able to get 10 points a day I had a chance to advance on a regular basis.

Is this truly fair? No. Because everyone will be stuck at the same point. Or maybe that was ANeT’s view of fairness. Let the 30k+ achievement players remain unreachable.

And doing PVP is not an option. It’s a toxic environment.

In a way it punishes players who have been playing since the beginning. Of course we would have more achievement points than someone who just started paying a year ago.

I still don’t see why there is a need for a daily point cap. Oh well, there goes a lot of incentive to do dailies. Thanks ANeT. Looks like the artificial cap to allow everyone to catch up actually holds people back from catching up. At the pace that points are available it’ll take many months just to get the next chest. Can we get a little relief ANeT?

The limit on Daily Achievement Points is listed as 15,000. I only have 13,303 and yet for the past two days my daily points, 20 total so far(maybe more since I finally noticed today), have not been added into my overall points.

Is there any remedy for this? Is this only happening to me? Can I get the points moving again and get my missed points I earned?

Here’s a pic of my point total.

JustTrogdor.7892:

This bug happens from time to time. Try logging out of GW2 then into GW1. Then log out of GW1 and back into GW2. This has worked for some int the past. Also some have reported changing characters might fix the problem as well.

Yeah, I logged out and logged onto my main character and they were back.

I had this happen to me. I sent a, in-game report. I logged out and back in and the achievements were back. I’m still wondering what was going on.

Topsilog.1824:

bay’s WP is bugged, you can actually just WP inside even it is not under your server’s possession. you can just WP inside as if it is yours then kill lord and cap it.

That’s correct. The bug has been reported. It would be nice to have this fixed before next reset.

Just DC’d for a second time!!!

As long as they came by their gold through legal in game means I don’t care how much others have. Sure, I’d love to have 100k gold. Most I’ve ever had was around 3k, but it didn’t last long since I was in the process of making a legendaries. But I hoard other stuff in the game, like materials and such, so I don’t have tons of gold – I have commodities. If I need to make a little gold I sell some of them, otherwise I hold on to them.

So be jealous, but don’t try to take from others. You too can be a 100kaire.

So for those of you who don’t want this – why do you bother posting here? What this post is about is helping ALL players with storage of items that in many cases should have a storage material slot.

This would be ANeT’s decision to deal with and I’m sure 99% of the game population would welcome material storage of many of the items mentioned so far.

I don’t know why there are people against this. Do you have nothing better to do? Is this your only way to get joy out of life?

With Ellieanna’s logic we shouldn’t make excess planks either. And definitely no storage for them. Those are intermediate items.

You don’t make dubloons – they are drops or rare drops from the forge.
Vision Crystals are just like planks.

So let’s look at the nay-sayer logic: We only need storage for raw items basically. We don’t need to make any other item until it is needed. So get rid of ingot storage, plank storage, leather square storage – all of those are intermediate items on the way to making armor and weapons. My goodness, let’s not have any storage at all for orbs they go into jewelry later. Your logic makes no sense.

Let’s look at real logic: dowels are made so you can make weapons and such. Sometimes you make more than you need, just in case you want to make more in the future. Just like planks and ingots. Vision Crystals are much the same. And so forth.

You nay-sayers miss the point though. This has more to do with crafting materials than with leveling. My cook for example has to make multiple smaller items like poultry stock and bowls of herb stock poultry to make a single Bowl of Lemon Grass Poultry. Now I don’t believe the Bowls of Lemon Grass Poultry should be in material storage, but the incremental stocks should.

So with your logic I should just sell the excess even though I might want to make more Bowls of Lemon Grass Poultry(to make Pots of Lemon Grass Poultry) in the future once I get more of the base materials since I may have run out of Lemon Grass.

And dowels are nothing but round pieces of wood used in future weapons. I may want to make more for future toons. Why can’t they have a material storage slow. Even Mystic Clovers and Mystic Coins got slots.

Also, you need to make another note book to have Cybel convert for you. Also, every time the hounds are missing you have to do the event to get them back. Once Cybel has her hounds back she will continue the collection.

This has nothing to do with leveling. It has to do with items that can only be used in crafting and have no other use. A dowel has no stats. On the other hand gems and such can be placed in armor. So, why are they able to be placed in material storage? We can find better ways of leveling other than upgrading gems so lets leave those in open storage. Please.

Oh, I forgot those. Yes, all that stuff which has no other use but advancing the recipe.

I have always wondered why certain materials don’t have a storage slot.
Vision Crystals
Doubloons(silver/copper/gold/platinum)
Many cook items – stocks, oils, etc.
New scribe materials – feathers, lumber cores, pens, metal plates, etc. The scribe has become the new cook of lost bag and bank space.

I’m sure there are more, but you get the idea.

Are there any plans to remedy this?

Don’t know if there was a thank you thread for this so I made one.

Ignoring the gold I spent, this was the most fun I had doing collections and such for a legendary. The story and quests for Chuka and Champawat are actually fun and interesting.

After completing the bow I could see why the legendary process was slow. So many little steps in so many places that all had to be linked would create a massive headache for any developer. Thanks to the developers who went through the painstaking efforts to give us a non-unicorn rainbow f**ting, tiger roaring short bow.

If you haven’t done this legendary I can tell you that it is incredible. The graphics on firing your first shot are amazing – two tigers seemingly jumping into the bow. After that, on a ranger at least, you fire tigers with a quiet tiger roar. On bow skill 3 you get 5 tigers. Your foot prints are glowing claw marks.

Again, thanks for creating a fun quest and legendary.

As a ranger I enjoy the hunt for new pets. If there’s no challenge it gets boring. Your elite specialization is not locked more than any other class. You can do exactly what every other class does to get the skills and traits to fully unlock druid. The pets are a bonus that you get to hunt for and “track” down to make friends with.

What I wish they would have done with pets is to create a special unlock in the ranger specialization that makes the pet not miss as much or have to chase its target around and miss most of the time which, in turn, reduces my damage output.

Loved the changes. Also saw an uptick in players in WvW. I think the reward track is one of the big reasons.

Prophet.1584:

if your testing raid dps then you should be testing with full buffs on all classes or flat damage with no buffs on any class including rev. testing one with buffs and the other without would skew the results.

My point exactly. I was also doing the test in a general sense of how much damage I can output in general. On full viper w/zerker runes, with no buffs, I topped out at 4,935 DPS. I was using LB/Axe/Torch close up. I would rotate through the weapons. I’d activate my pet’s special attack every time it was up. My average was probably around 4,300.

An engi friend of mine was getting over 13k when he did it alone.

I’m going to try full buffs to see what I can pull out of my weapon combo. Like was said earlier, rangers aren’t a one weapon set class. Sure, you can do the old Sword/Axe trick with tons of buffs, but that only tells one story. I’ll try a combination of different weapon sets with and without buffs. I’m using legendary and ascended equipment for everything.

Here’s a little question. Haven’t tried this, but can you enter the testing zone as a squad and then leave squad and stay inside?

I ask this because the 2 individuals with 20K+ damage DPS have an unusual amount of buffs, including warrior banners, Alacrity, etc… Last time I checked rangers don’t have any of those.

Just used the DP tester in the Aerodrome.

Thanks, ANeT, for proving that rangers need MORE DPS. I was talking with some of my friends that used other classes and found that the ranger was VERY lacking in DPS – as we already knew. I was 1/3 of what an Engineer could do.

I tested it twice – once on my hybrid build the other in full Vipers. The full viper performed better, but was still way down from other classes DPS output.

Now that it can be proven that ranger DPS needs MASSIVE improvement I think ANeT needs to address it.

Crashed twice in 10 minutes along with about 20 others in the same squad.

Just had 2 game crashes in the past 10 minutes. Anyone else crashing?

This happened in WvW.

One of the few things our pets do correctly.

One thing that might curb these individuals would be to disallow Free-to-Play players from entering WvW. The hackers in question are rumored to be creating new accounts using the FtP system. So as soon as they get banned they just make a new account that costs them nothing.

Not having them makes sense. But if they were there here’s some funny ways they could have a special effect.
Water Keep: All shrines active, owning server can walk on water while the opposing servers swim at half speed.
Hills Keep: Boulders roll down the main road at random, and I liked the one suggestion with snow storms – maybe make a 20% miss chance.
Garrison: Portal in citadel directly into keep when owning all shrines.

But, no, they don’t belong in alpine BLs.

You could already portal from citadel to garri if you had a competent mesmer

I’m aware of that as are many. Geez, can’t anyone take what’s written in the whole content in which it was offered? Notice that I said funny ways?(though more practical than funny) Garri would have the lava style portal in this case. Doesn’t have to be lava that they go through. Anyway, as I said, shrines don’t belong in the alpine BLs.

As a small guild that has worked hard to get our WvW bonuses and blueprints accessible I say a big yes. That, or I want at least 1000 gold refunded to us along with all the mats we had to acquire.

I could live without the banners, but I like the rest. Zerg fights with banners don’t feel right.

One option that needs to be included is inappropriate guild name. I’ve seen some really “interesting” letter combinations, along with their “guild name”.

Here are some of the ideas and suggestions that have been lost in all the screaming and yelling:
1. Make the HoT precursors drop from mobs in the HoT areas like the old versions did in Tyria. RNG baby. – Creating the legendary adventure is one of the primary things delaying them. Everything must work and be there.

2. Create Skin Recipes for the new legendaries. Sell them at vendors in the HoT area for a large sum in the zone currency. Then make and old legendary and skin it.

3. Unlock Legendary Armor from the Raid and make them obtainable outside of raids. That’s 18 legendaries available to make. See #1 for how to get them. Though they still have to create the legendary armor. Also make the recipe simple, like old legendaries. No adventure involved, except for dungeons and such.

4. Hire 6 new people so that you don’t have to scrap the project. Borrow against a bankable asset if you have to.

5 : put one precursor as reward of entering legendary division during a PvP season (ofc still non-tradable). Legendary people deserve legendary weapons.

I’ll keep updating as I find/see them.

That’s the 3 I’ve seen, as there is just too much venom in this thread to read every complaint, threat, and scream.

Let’s be constructive and a little more mature. Sure be upset/angry/disappointed. But be constructive in your response.

Indefinite suspension is “Canceled until Further Notice”

Actually:
Indefinite- not clearly defined or determined; not precise or exact:
an indefinite boundary; an indefinite date in the future.

Suspended – temporarily prevent from continuing or being in force or effect.
“work on the dam was suspended”

Canceled – to decide or announce that a planned event will not take place; call off:
to cancel a meeting.

Your literal definition of the words and their typical practical use are two entirely different things.

Sigh. If words didn’t have meanings they wouldn’t use them. And believe it or not “cancel” and “indefinitely suspend” mean something different.

“Indefinitely suspend” means “Canceled, but may eventually one day return to it, but not likely.”

It doesn’t kittening matter what the precise definition is. We’ll be getting the new legendaries when Blizzard releases StarCraft: Ghost.

Yes, it does. Otherwise there was no point in ANeT even telling us their intent. They could have kept it secret and let people create a thread complaining about why the legendaries are taking so long( I’m sure there might be one). But instead they decided to be forthcoming(meaning open about it; giving out information). And now they are taking heat about it.

OK I would like MO or another dev to please explain to me and others what they actually mean by ‘indefinitely suspended’. I know a lot of people take this to mean CANCELLED, but when I read the post I took it as literally the ‘indefinitely suspended’, as in, work is on hold and we don’t have a time frame in mind to resume. .

Indefinitely Suspended means = on hold until we can get back to it, but we don’t have a date or time frame to give you as to when it will be.

Canceled means it isn’t going to be done and there’s no intent on returning to do it in the future.

Wording is everything. If they were going to cancel them outright they would have said so.

Oh man, You don’t really believe that do you?

Just going by the printed word. I don’t read “cancel” when they say “suspend”. If more people would calm the kitten down and read it in the openness that it was offered this thread wouldn’t contain such venom.

Instead of screaming at them offer suggestions to make their job easier so they might be able to produce the legendary weapons we would like them to. Several others, including myself, have offered ideas and compromises on the situation.

Indefinite Suspension means we have every reason to believe they never will be implemented.

It actually means they want to catch up on the other larger projects and then evaluate how to proceed on legendaries. Quite simple. Wipe the anger from your eyes and start thinking.
