you obviously havent been with guild wars for a long time. Anet makes changes like this every couple of months or so, which changes the meta, and re encourages other people to play the game. Learn to adapt to this changes and you’ll do well, i have 8 lvl 80s repurchased skills on all of them but cost me 0 gold. i don;t knwo what you are QQing about, but hey if you leave your choice, i’m a gw1 vet since 05 and this change i approve, hated at 1st but i’m used to it and i adapt.

yeh i feel you, ive been looking around for info about sinister backpiece when episode 8 of season 2 came out, after i finished 5/6 sinister trinkets, but to no avail. Either way the prec from rampagers was good enough for me skill editor shows you can get up to 55% crit chance before patch if you max the precision trait line for your class, i dont know about now.

HoT Ranged Concern

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: J envy.5270

J envy.5270

longbow rangers wanna play longbow in dungeons and can still do, if they play with their friends, but if you play with pugs, who are experienced, you gotta keep up with them and stay melee , thats how the game works, and probably still will stay the same when HoT comes out.
pve, sepcifically dungeons, every class is fine with full zerker, except necros, they are useless outside dps, which since you can only have 5 people in a party, i’d never pick a necro over other classes.
pvp, you can play any class even the cele cancer builds have weaknesses. All classes are used in pvp, just because top pvpers dont use them for tournaments doesnt mean you shouldn’t try them.

What is your most hated build?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: J envy.5270

J envy.5270

1. Anyone not using full zerker or assassins gear.
2. Any necro for dungeons is a waste.
3. Longbow greatsword rangers who think GS/LB is used in all parts of the game and dont bring spotter and frost spirit, so pretty much useless and s stays ranged.
4. Warriors who dont bring battle standard, and dont bring BOTH banner of disc and str when they are the only warrior in the party, and no EA..sigh.
5. Seeing any staff guardians outside clearing plants inTA.
6. Thiefs that dont use S/P, or dont know how to use blinds and dont know tha they can remove defiance on demand so ele ice bow 5 can be used on the boss again.
7. Engineers who dont use rifle, and those who only know flamethrower auto atk.
8. People who cant read lfg notes and just joins.
9. S/D eles, or anything scepter who doesnt even use lightning hammer.
10. People who CC the boss for no apparent reason and give the boss defiance stacks before someone with an ice bow uses ice bow 5, and renders it useless.
11. People who dont know how other classes work but their own but thinks they know better without personally using other classes and their meta builds.
12. Any class using a shield in dungeons outside blasting pre fights.
13. Hammer Warriors
14. Guardians who put symbols on the ground, so ele firefields can’t be blasted, like seriously you can dps without putting those symbols down.
15. Any player who thinks of using a support build and/or use support gear, like clerics gear, thinking that this game needs a tank/dps/heals. JUST STOP, this game is all about DPS in dungeons.

[Suggestions] Gemstore Items

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: J envy.5270

J envy.5270

1. Not gonna happen.
2. Keep dreaming
3. The black wings from the gemstore sale was part of the Raiment of the Lich costume back in gw1, they ddnt just make those wings for no apparent reason, the just decided to make it 2 different prodcuts possibly to increase sales, which im sure it did.
4. Releasing more wings that have no whatsoever history lore wise in the game would not make any sense unless anet becomes a cash cow company; every released gemstore item either has some lore background behind it or was part of a living story update, and other items that just share a gw2 theme.
5. But it cant hurt to keep dreaming your super duper fantasy armor with wings.

1. You don’t know that.
2. Great minds always dream.
3. Who cares? What does it matter?
4. So many gemstore items make no sense lore-wise. Who cares? Also the gemstore is already Anet’s cash cow.
5. Indeed. A lot of people dreamed to get angel wings in this game and we got them. Next step: white angel wings and then maybe OP’s idea.

PS: Have a pic of my warrior with wings (without the Lich outfit):

PS: your wings look butt ugly dont match the armor but sure enjoy.

Making Legendary Weapons Truly Legendary

Gudlck, keep dreaming, or go play WoW if you want that. Legendaries in gw2 does not make you better than others, its only a weapon skin.

I hate it when people pull this "go play WoW’ nonsense. Has any of you ever even played WoW? If you have then you’d know that the legendary weapons in WoW are nothing like what the OP suggest either.

Lets just make proper arguments why the OP’s idea would or wouldn’t work and leave the “go play WoW” crap out of it from now on, shall we?

I played WoW since burning crusade until cataclysm, i know what im talking about but the OP is dreaming so hard its the closest i can compare it too.

Too OP, i may have misunderstood what you wanted after reading it the first time around for 3 seconds, but after reading it again, still, keep dreaming, what you want wont happen.

This OP is pretty funny. Why would you cater a few people who returned to the game over people who have been consistently playing this game since release, It just doesnt make any sense. People jump games thats a fact, but returning to gw2 and hoping for a free server transfers so they can play with their friends and hoping that this faction of a population finally decides to stay and play gw2 instead of jumping to other bandwagon games, totally pointless. If you want to play with your friends decide to stay and play gw2 ask your friends help to help fund your transfer, or delete that 1 80 character, i ahve deleted 5 80s no biggy.

Who's gonna get rich off precursor crafting?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: J envy.5270

J envy.5270

Its always a race between hoarders and price inflaters against the majority of population when news such as this hits. At the end of the day i hope Anet made sure for the new precursor crafting isnt costly so no TP inflation related to them but rather make it more of a scavenge hunt type to reward people from playing the game not manipulating the market.

Ive always wondered if gold sellers also maipulate the market.

so are the crafted precursors account bound or no?

New precursors from the new legendary weapon sets that comes out when HoT comes out, are nontradeable aka account bound and so are the finished legendary weapon itself. For short, people cant buy this NEW legendary weapons from the TP or some stupid third party website.

“We also want to better preserve the prestige associated with crafting a legendary weapon, so the new legendary weapons, and their precursors, will not be tradable.”

So that means only people who worked for it will get the new legendary weapon skins, it definitely already looks more prestigious to get, since not everyone can just use there credit cards to buy them. Now it definitely makes crafting the new legendary a journey, worthy to be called a legendary.

TY Anet

TL’DR: The New Set of Precursors and Legendary Weapon(HoT) itself is account bound.

BETA!!

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: J envy.5270

J envy.5270

its funny how good people claim the gw2 community is and 1 thing like this happens and peoples true colors start to show.

What people don’t understand is people who got email invites arent more loyal than you per say, they just got the luck of the draw and won invitations to the close beta, people make assumptions and make simple things into such negative topics.

I got an invitation myself and am very happy, i won’t say i’m the most loyal or anything but here i my stats:
I have played gw1 from 2005-2011, got my GWAMM title and 50/50 HOM.
Played GW2 since beta, 7200+ hrs played(dont afk-i go offline—-i got no life), never used any 3rd party gold websites, but have bought gems around $1000 from the gemstore for bank tabs,bag slots, extra character slots, black lion skins and transmutation stones, and other account bound quality of life merchandise.
2 1/2 yrs late, 24.5k AP, 5 legendaries, saved up for all of them, 1 every 5-6 months(my pride to never use gems to make legendaries).

So yes i am pretty loyal but it doesnt make others less qualified than me about getting invitations to the closed beta, frankly i wasn’t expecting to win since my RNG in game is so bad to begin with, still no precursor drops, i’m indeed happy to get invited and am excited but i hope people stop hating on others or on anet for not getting invited. We will all play the game when it comes out in the next few months anyway.

Your experience with crafting legendaries

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: J envy.5270

J envy.5270

6900 hours played, been here since beta, 5 legendaries, never had any precursor drop, no credit cards used.
5-6 months of not hardcore farming, my method is old and still works, all i really do is do dungeons to gain gold~find a few good friends who know dungeon paths and are wearing full zerker and know there dungeon builds, learn to save up gold and not use it on random useless crap(for me i never buy minis, or outfits).

All my saved gold went to legendaries, bag slots, bank slots, personal guild bank….basically always look ahead before spending your gold, if its worth it to invest, or if its is only a momentary enjoyment.

i wasted about 500g worth in the mystic toilet on my 1st year in the game, never spent on it ever since, i would only use the rares i get from monster drops, basically save up for everything else and put the precursor as the last thing on your list,bcuz u might get lucky and get a precursor drop, if not you can always save for it like i do.

I think i might end up taking it close to this. I can’t decide if i want to farm it or just buy it.

In WoW and other mmo’s i knew the market well enough to play it and make tons of gol, but as i’m new here, i definitely have no experience in playing the TP.

I think for the first legendary it might be easier to buy it out but maybe cuz i am new, seeing these legs at 3kg, realistically what are your faming methods and what is their output?

I think at some point i will want to craft one just to say “i did it” however

on my 1st 6 months into the game i never thought i’ get a legendary weapon, ,but i jsut kept playing started saving up gold from wherever i can. If i’m free for the whole day usually id run dungeons with a friend or 2, like AC 123, CM 123, TA up&fwd, SE 1 3, COF 1 2, COE 123, HOTW 1, Arah 123……i’d say you’d get around 35g straight up gold as dungeon rewards, but if you get lucky with drops, with t6 mats, or charge lodestones and other crap worth more than 1 gold…..i get up to save about 50g.

I never bought a legendary because whats the fun in that, I have had a few friends who used credit cards to buy 9 legendaries and stopped playing the game a few months ago, apparently their end game was only to get a legendary weapon and show off. At the end of the day legendary weapons aren’t as legendary as it seems alot of people have them, and alot of people also bought them with gems….if you come from other MMO’s like WoW, the only thing that feels legendary in this game is either getting high achievement points(top 200) or getting really good in PVP, top 20 in leaderboards, and competing in tournaments…because those 2 things give unique rewards that you cant buy from the TP.

I know how legendaries are in WoW, since i played it too, and those legendaries are so rare and are very prestigious, that is not the case in GW2. I had an idea on how to make gw2 legendaires feel more legendary, check it out if you got time, https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/My-wish-for-the-new-legendaries/first#post4796168

precursor collection and RNG

J envy.5270

two things to mention, 1st precursor prices have started going down since the announcement of the expansion and precursor from collections, RIP to all you precursor TP hoarders.

2nd i highly doubt it would cost you as bad as getting the exotic hunter collection, i am leaning more into a collection like the full lumi armor set collection which currently gives an ascended armor chest, but in the expansions case, a similar type of progression type collection that isnt easy to finish but wont cost you much gold, will reward a precursor.

J envy.5270

no achievement for Eternity ? , it’s nothing ..

There is an achievement (5/5) if you account bound 5 legendary but you get no title …
You can’t feel special because anyone can buy them with a credit card … however i would like to see a achievement and title for crafting them AND account bound the weapons ….even if you can buy with real money directly some of the mats you have to work hard for the clovers / karma / map completions , maybe something like ‘’ legendary Crafter ’’ 10/10

i crafted 12 of them , all account bound

i agree with your points, check out the post i made a few days ago and see if my idea feels more legendary than the current way of making/buying them.i crafted all the legendaries my main, engineer can wield = 5 legendaries.

I am not sure that farming ranks in EotM is any more legendary worthy than farming gold or using a credit card.

your like the 3rd person who mentioned WvW ranks, it is not the only requirement that i gave as an example, nonetheless, it is not as easy as it sounds, you would still have to put ALOT of time into it, i don’t know which PRO commander train you follow but 1000 ranks is not something you get in a day or 2 or 3. As far as credit card goes, i can go to work for a day and that would be enough to buy me a new legendary. How legendary is that.

Some people are missing the point that this requirements make people do particular contents of the game before actually acquiring a legendary weapon, It will take you weeks/months/years to make but it is only a unique skin, it does not make you any stronger than others, but rather would just feel way more prestigious—-bragging rights, as not just about anyone can get there hands on it. Also, it is not something a random player can just have after buying the game 2 days prior.

My point stands. There is nothing particularly legendary about grinding ranks that are easily attained. There is no prestige in whatyou suggest because it is a primary just a measure of time spent.

In general, you cannot please everyone, try grinding lvl 80 pvp rank, and tell me if there is no skill to it, other than there is no point for me to explain anything any further.

What I expect is :
1) Legendaries must be removed from TP: They must be effort-based. Instant-legendary with 3rd party gold mustn’t be a thing. It would make them more rare, and for only effort-giving players.

2) Dark variants for “rainbow” legendaries : Yes, many people think it would be better if there was also a dark/evil/gothic themed staff, longbow, shortbow, focus etc… (Example: Twilight greatsword) I expect new legendaries to look like this.

3) All legendary weapon types must be combinable : With the introduction of new legendaries, every legendary weapon type must be combinable. For example we can combine “The Bifrost” with “the new legendary staff” to get a wonderful looking super-legendary staff. Just like getting eternity from twilight+sunrise.

1)i totally agree to this.
2) i totally agree to this. (i mean we already have a few rainbow type legendaries out there time to make legendaries actually LOOK LEGENDARY, Twilight – definitely legendary looking, The Minstrel – what a joke.)
3)I don’t know how that would work, but its an idea i haven’t heard yet, also that might have conflict with eternity since it already is a mix of 2 legendaries.

While I like some of your ideas it would probably be bad for Anet. I think the main reason people even bother to exchange gems to gold is to get legendaries and your idea would mean less people buying gems. The price of t6 materials and all the other stuff needed to make legendaries would probably plummet, less demand overall.

Yes i did think about the business perspective about legendaries becoming account bound and how it will provide less profit for Anet, but i am sure that anet gets alot of other funds from the always ever increasing gem store items and black lion skins, they come out with new skins every 2 weeks, a legendary weapon on the other hand is the same skin that it has been since release 2 1/2 yrs ago so i’m sure most gem purchases for buying legendary weapons in the TP have been mostly exhausted, and as for t6 mats, it will still be used to craft old legendary weapons so it will stay the way it is but since its an older legendary requirement it would make sense that those prices will drop after 3 yrs.

I believe that they should be more skill orientated to make but even with that they should still be sell-able on tp because it’s fun to see how much it’s worth threw in-game economy but as well if say you’ve mined all your gold threw techniques you’ve learned isn’t that for say also skill…. Here’s a little spoiler of the staff which was loosely confirmed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Nd-5b1tsz0

Yes, frankly World Bosses take almost NO SKILL NEEDED, ill bring a ranger shoot from 1500+ range i hit every world boss in the face, no need to spam 2 just auto atk is fine. Dungeons in GW2 are fun but they are also old, getting new instances are better than nothing at all.

10 man raids are a defenite YES to me, You don’t have to do them if you don’t want to just as some people don’t WvW or PVP, But it is a new type of content that the current game has not yet added and i welcome it with its flaws, because i am sure that ANET listens to its playerbase and will make a More than 5 man party raid worthy to be called a RAID, just as they had done in GW1 with:
1) Underworld
2) Fissure of Woe
3) Sorrow’s Furnace
4) Urgoz Warren
5) The Deep
6) Tomb of the Primevil Kings
7) and the Domain of Anguish.

Had more time to reread the comments @Kronos, i do actually like the progression of crafting the Mawdrey, how it made you go to different places in the game, and also the luminiscent armor had a great piece by piece progression although for the most part it was in the silverwastes.

Sorry i ddn’t check the replies earlier, @Garambola – i actually have 5 legendaries, no precursor drops, no credit cards, i actually save up for them usually around 5-6 months in between of saving up gold, and i started since head-start; nonetheless, i feel that getting it wasn’t legendary enough since a lot of people can just easily acquire them through gems.

@Kronos – you don’t have to do certain things like rank 1000 wvw or FOTM 50, but what this does is push more people to play those particular game types, which they don’t have to do necessarily unless they really REALLY want that new legendary skin, which i’ll say many times in this post – NOT ANY STRONGER than other legendaries/ or ascended – its just a unique skin.

The whole idea behind a legendary weapon skin, is that it feels legendary to craft, @Tevesh – yes you can sit in EOTM and get rank 1000, but you can also enjoy WvW, especially for people who never tried or dislike WvW. The item is legendary because you are required to go to different feats in the game to acquire it.

Anet can simply release new weapon skins from the Black Lion or through the Gem Store with skins as good if not better than some of the current legendary weapon skins that we have, but the whole point of having a legendary skin is how hard it is to acquire, DO KNOW, that IT IS ONLY THE SKIN thats unique, the stats remain balanced with the rest of the other legendaries and ascended weapons alike. So when you finally see 1 player wielding this new legendary, you would be in awe, and congratulate the player him/herself for crafting a weapon worthy to be called legendary, since crafting one took alot of effort, NOT GOLD, thats what I am trying to point out.

It may sound extreme for some people, but this is just an example, and i do believe it is way better than the system we have right now. NEW legendary weapon skins should be EXCLUSIVE to players who have done a significant amount of accomplishments in the game, and not some random joe who just started playing 2 days ago.

In the end its just a weapon skin that does not make you better than others, it only is more unique and rarer to find, but not necessarily the prettiest/coolest looking of its weapon type either as gem store and black lion weapons come out regularly. Ask yourself, how badly do you want this particular weapon skin that isn’t any better than other skins, and DOES NOT make you any stronger than others? Yes it is unique, rare and hard to find, but it takes alot of work to craft it. Are you willing to go through a lot of hurdles only to get your hands on this new skin or would you rather just enjoy the content of the game that you love.

I have a wish for the new legendary weapons coming out with the expansion HoT:

1) I hope that its not sellable in the TP, the fact that the current Legendaries are sellable in the TP, makes it not so legendary to begin with, people who just started the game can just swipe their credit cards and get some gems, and get a nice looking piece of weapon but why does it have to be a legendary, the word itself contradicts how easy it can be acquired.

I get it that some people have busy lives and that they can’t play that much, and that legendaries being sellable in the TP proves to be a business move for Anet itself, but you can pretty much buy anything in the game from the TP or the gem store, legendary weapons should be the one thing that you can’t. It should be that one thing that you should work as you play the game at your own pace.

2)I hope that they retool the way legendaries are made, not trying to be an elitist or anything but its a legendary weapon to begin with, it should be harder to get (NOT hard because it costs alot of money, but hard because you have to do certain feats/accomplishments in the game before being able to craft it.)

I understand that with the expansion, precursors will be able to be acquired from using the mastery and finishing a collection, and this is a start to the right path. RNG should never have been what held people back from making a legendary weapon to begin with, but rather inexperience with the game.

3) Suggestions to this kind of legendary progression would be, removing the amount of gold the legendary costs from(those annoying t6 mats-gift of fortune like things), and add more types of accomplishment type requirements like map completion, where you actually accomplished a certain part of the game which didn’t cost you money at all but just as well is not as easy to acquire. I find this idea will wipe a lot of third party gold sellers, as the legendary will be account bound and has specific requirements that can not be mailed, transferred or bought from the TP.

Examples to this would be:
-getting an item requirement from reaching FOTM lvl 50, and once you do, you will be able to buy a certain item from the merchant, just like how Gift of Battle is acquired by reaching WvW rank 14(although it would be more legendary if acquiring that would require rank 1000 or higher).

In addition to the map completion requirement, i thought of the following:
-an item from the pvp merchant after reaching rank 80 in pvp.
-an item after reaching a certain amount of achievement points(ex. 10k AP…)
-an item that can be bought after getting rank 1000 in WvW as i previously stated
-an item that can be bought from a merchant that comes out after the new raid instances comes out, kinda like how people can make Obsidian Armors in GW1 after finishing the raid/instance.
-(added) Scavenger hunt type of requirement like the Mawdrey, and progression by collections like the Luminescent armor set.

These are just a few things that came into my mind when i found out about the new legendaries 2 weeks ago, It may sounds a little elitist depending on your perspective, but i strongly feel that it will make making the new legendaries more prestigious to the community’s eyes and rarer to find(unlike its predecessors, where everyone and there granddad has a legendary—-no pun intended). I feel that making requirements like this as a part of crafting a legendary will make a person more inclined to playing all parts of the game if they do so desire to get the weapon skin, which I am sure a lot of people will say that this is a GRIND, but what alot of people don’t get is that GW2 is so unGRINDY compared to other, if not all MMO’s out there.

Having 1 actual item that can only be acquired from progressing to certain parts of the game like the new mastery system does not make the whole game GRINDY. This does not at all make the owner stronger than others at anyway at all, as it is only a weapon skin that is going to be hard to get. But more than that it shows that i have accomplished/mastered various parts of the game and as such i feel it is my right as a player to be able to craft a weapon worthy to be called legendary, and only individuals like myself who have gone to different depths of the game can acquire it(account bound)…..one can wish.

TL’DR: I thought of ways to make a legendary item through actual accomplishments and not from spending tons of gold/gems. Tell me what you think/comments.

So its been what 3 weeks since wintersday patch? I have been having problems with this game, between having several errors that forces to exit the game, to blue screens that makes me shut down my laptop.

I never had a problem like this since gw2 was released, gw2 not only takes so much memory to play it also makes me laptop work extra hard lately which as i said, i never had a problem before with, random errors while in wvw, in the middle of a pvp match, while doing a dungeon, and so forth, basically its very annoying.

I already got my laptop checked and found out i only get this problems when i play gw2, internet is fine and fast(verizon fios), i have alot of free unused RAM as well, and when running my laptop for prolonged time my laptop is not at all affected by anything, but once i run gw2 i get several random errors per day and sometimes even blue screens which scares me to think that it will get my laptop broken.

I live in New York, so i’m definitely not having lag issues that those EU players are having. Never had a problem this bad for 2+ yrs of gw2, and my laptop even has a fan so it doesnt overheat yet it gets worked hard when i run gw2.

TL’DR: my laptop is fine, internet is fine, memory is fine….the problem is gw2 itself, idk what anet has been doing behind the scenes but the last few weeks has been killing my laptop, and messes my game.

I have put a post before and had no response, and i still am wondering if this would be fixed.
