Guild Wars 2

he is simply struggles to live up to one of the greatest thieves

“I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you.”

- thief, eavesdropper, bff

archon, suppose decoration is really it cause for an item that literally makes money, even if its not liquid, thats what it does, just very hard to see the value for a normal player lik me

deedrick, i dont’ need elder wood, just saw this node exists in game, thought it was neat and would be nice, then saw cost and wondered where the value really was

sandpit, dunno i’ve been using consortium on my char since it was 1st released, its prob paid for itself by now since its really the only char i play, but otherwise i def agree w/ u

deanbb, convenince is 1 thing, this is 3650 times of using before its got anything except put u in the red. if u have 10 accounts, thats still 1 year, of logging in w/ every single char, every single day, and knocking down the tree. i dunno if that convenient anymore or a chore as sandpit noted

thx for the thoughts. i just was curious how anyone could find value in it and if i was missing it. think i got my answer

i mean i suppose if you could find a way to split the cost upfront or make people pay to gather, but still… thats about 3650 knocks before its made the money it “cost”. that’s a crazy amount. i understand it being xpensive and taking a while to be worth it, half a year, maybe 1 year would make sense

u don’t have to get approval to talk about the easy q’s. u guys r funny, but it was a nice response all the same

Mostly a question, I saw that this logging node exists.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Elder_Wood_Logging_Node

I thought cool, then thought thats a lotta golds. 229g when i looked. but elder wood is worth more than it has been in a while, so i thought, if i can get 3 logs out of that a day, how long before it actually becomes “worth” it. Elder wood is going for about 2s9c right now. thats about 6s27c a day. so it should take me about… 10 years?!? to break even?

wat am i missing here

Dirtyrascal.1023:

Just re-instate season 2 Ranked (50/50 matchmaking)

Have a separate Pro-League

Needs to be a place you can go to just have a good, fun game with balanced teams.

Fun first, Esport second or game will die.

fun is not a priority for gw2 pvp. we would have many more options and modes if fun was a priority

anet forgot that pvp is also supposed to be fun. people might have fun w/ a real tdm mode, but thats not anet’s goal w/ pvp

MagicBot.1570:

DECORATIVE MOTEN JETPACK please! If you bring back fused weapons, we need this too

if u are going to req something, req all of it. make it not decorative. make it a real molten jetpack, and make it a glider

IndigoSundown.5419:

…………..

I have to wonder whether the effort to keep the segment of the hardcore that does not express such disdain and dismissal worth having to endure the portion that does.

i agree. it is not worth the effort. please, all ‘hardcore’ raiders, feel free to leave this game so that it can continue w/ the original goal of gw2.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/every-day-sale-in-the-month-of-march/

is it happening?

There’s no telling what might be dug up from the depths of Black Lion history, so be sure to check in every day as many items and sales will only be available for one day.

hopefully this counts some of those weapons skins (eyeing u fused weapons)

i have my doubts since those were claim ticket items and not straight gem purchases, but a man can dream… a man can dream

edit: added format to quote

any animation that isn’t instant, u need to watch out and prepare to dodge

also some of the instant ones…

just always be ready to dodge + pop stability

its amber, so its mostly gar bage regard less

just try to carry thru until u break out

because they said a full team of 5 would never face a full soloq. you had a pair in your team, making this matchup A-OK

Haleydawn.3764:

….

and I dare say [insert anet concept related to HoT] isn’t as popular as hoped.

…..

this is always true

MadRabbit.3179:

………

but I will say it’s certainly a very fitting and appropriate mascot for a development team that hasn’t produced a new fractal or dungeon in forever, has caused a lot of WvW guilds to leave, because of their continued neglect of WvW and has an arguably broken PvP metagame due to slow and ineffective balance changes…….

i’d balance by looking at pvp.

class balance is how the classes compare and work w/ each other… how they “balance” each other out.

only way to do that is in pvp… where u have classes compared to each other

thats not price manipulation, its just like any market investment.

someone saw that there was about 50k or 500k i don’t remember leathers at like 1.55s. thats the last “price wall” next closest is like 5k selling at 5s, then the supply really drops and prices go up quick.

so someone saw this opportunity, spent the up front golds, and is preparing for the prices to go up to 5s and beyond. then they’ll start putting them back on the market at the prices that are more appropriate for how much leather everyone is buying these days.

they will likely be rewarded for their investment.

MadRabbit.3179:

Dude, it’s got red eyes. Totally legitimate.

It’s no way shape or form indicative of a once great game losing all sense of direction and identity at the whims of a company seemingly disconnected with their user base with a primary motivation of farming their wallets via micro-transactions or numerous gold sinks funded by their gem to gold exchange market before all the nostalgia for a once great game runs out and everyone gets kittened off and quits.

Nothing to worry about at all.

i lik the way u think

MauricioCezar.2673:

Dear anet, I love this game. I am a sad and deep achievment hunter also.

But it hurts me that some achievments are completely removed without ever being specified that they were temporary.

I just noticed into pvp that the title “Primordial legend” got removed, and its gone for good. I was halfway on diamond at season 1 and stopped because I wanted to finish and focus my HoT Achievments, and get this title/achievment on next seasons. Now its completely gone.

The same happened with wintersday title/achievment > Sweet tooth. I farmed and stocked ~1,5k of candy’s to use then, and then I couldn’t log on the day before patch. Patch hit, achievment/Title Gone for good, and I am sitting at 1,5k of useless candys.

So please, I am asking as softly as I can, because I love this game and this gets me highly frustrated : Properly advertise when something is temporary. Please, I ain’t asking too much.

the leet players need to be able to stand over you and show that they are superior w/ their titles. this is why u are just sol. what would be the point of getting it if they couldn’t permanently have this achievement over you? the fact that it was secretly temp available is even better cause it shows they were really dedicated players determined to achieve asap

http://massivelyop.com/2016/02/23/massively-op-podcast-episode-52-horror-sloth/

about the 27:30 mark.

you got to wonder if this really is all that anet is clicking around w/

Pir Piero, u are a CHAMPION! do not let others tell u that u are not. it is your duty, nay, responsibility to be the champion of your team! lead them.

I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you.

edit: this is your war cry

u just got to jump out of the base, grab ur ankles, and spell run

it tells u, i think, after a match why u got a pip or not, what did that tell u?

i thought it at first, but u also have the win streak and loss streak for bonus pips

but in most cases, u are rite. i got a pip because… i won, i lose 1 because… i lost

they removed some amulets, thats prob wut they were talking about, they sayd balance patches are quarterly, u shouldn’t have expect anything more or get so werked up over it

Thanks for sharing. This is not an empty exercise, it’s very useful to know what you’ve valued in the past and would like to see in the future.

………
At this time there were also people spamming every official streamchat with “Bunnyears or RIOT”.
……

The result? Absolutely nothing.
…….
How are we supposed to feel about this?
Why should I trust that my feedback will have any effect this time?

they spammed chats they’d riot, but u answered u comment there, nothing happened. and thats why anet don’t really care too much. people gonna keep playing, least for now.

how to feel? feel like it don’t matter just enjoy wat anet gives or don’t

should u trust? no. anet gonna do wut they want. u can hope they listen, but u shuldn’t expect it

Revolutionen.5693:

Emopandagurke.3497:

I’d sacrifice everything I have for those Aviator Sunglasses

Yes I want those soo bad!

Don’t want the bunny ears to come back though, since I already have those, wouldnt feel as special wearing them anymore <.<

here, this goes w/ those bunny ears

a pair of giant hands… which will ever so slightly give u the middle finger every time u land

ItIsFinished.9462:

…..
So I’m hoping for a response from Anet letting everyone know that going AFK and throwing matches won’t be tolerated.

theres been a lot of things pvp’rs have been hoping anet would do, i’ll give u 1 guess on how many of those thangs they’ve done

EthanLightheart.9168:

That’s all I see in pvp and it’s just tiring and so boring. Cheap ridicolous high hp, perma cc, self sustain, condi spam, permaevade.
You really made pvp boring with this update, and noone seems to bother.

i think both dh and daredevil are in the lowest hp, not highest pool

brannigan.9831:

Stand The Wall.6987:

What you are saying makes no sense. People should absolutely be rewarded for a win streak, not because others cant achieve it, but because they can. As for the punishment part, there isnt any really, they just lose their streak and have to regain it. If you stop to think about it, and like Chaith said already, if good players are getting win streaks, then that means they will no longer be playing in lower divisions thus leaving said divisions with a better matchmaking experience. If you are having trouble reaching a win streak, well, form/join a team, get on ts, and practice together. Nothing is stopping you.

I swear lol this looks like a Kurzicks fear mongering tactic. No offense, I just couldnt help but notice the similarities.

Yeah Luxons never do this. Kurzicks want to put asuran, norn, charr, sylvari people in chains and voter ID laws are a form of pole tax just to give you a couple of the worst memes floated by you honest Luxons. Most serious people understand that no political party is wholly good or bad because they are made up of millions of people and there isn’t a political trick both sides haven’t used since day one to motivate voters. No apology coming from me because Im not a weasel progressive like you that bad mouths people and then tries to apologise for it. No apology from me you are a tool.

i fixed it, now it makes sense to me. at 1st i was lik ‘wutttt?’ but now i get it.

Crystal Reid.2481:

On Difficulty
….We definitely don’t want to make the encounters so challenging that things like that are never possible since all it does is make raids less accessible to others. …..

this was my fav part. very funny, a wink afterwards would have sealed it. 7/10

Ven Zehn.6573:

If they decided to add it as a rare drop, I could see them coming from Fractals, except now it’d be too easy to just farm the molten bosses and experimental weapons fractal.

And I doubt players would want more skins coming only from fractals.

As far as re-releasing em for tickets, most other skins that were re-released in the past were done so in relation to some event I think, like chaos/tormented weaps were re-released together with something (I forgot what, and the relation was loose at best lol)

So maybe, if a new living story chapter brings back something related to Scarlet and the Molten Alliance.. perhaps sifting through old research, finding an old lab, where we accidentally release a champion, all in hopes of finding more “weaknesses” or something.

there is something to wat u are suggesting, and personally i don’t think its bad, but i can already hear the qq from the community: “oh now anet can’t even make new BL skins w/ their content they are just rehasing old skins” etc etc

of course, any new method to get fused i’d be a fan of, unless its tied to raids, or rng after a HoT meta event, already enough of that

Talzed.4153:

The fused weapon skins are amazing. However the price is well out of the range for most players. Would you please consider making them available for gems or black lion tickets again.

u beat me to it! fused weapon skins pls

From what I understood, you will lose 1 pip whether you lose 0-500 or 499-500 in a match. In other words, in a PuG party once you’re down by ~100 points its a GG for your team since there would be no benefit of making the match close anymore.

if thats true then its a bad change, last season i often saw in teamchat things like:
“guys even if we lose , lets score as much as possible so maybe we wont lose a pip”

and i think that was a good thing , i remember how when i faced proleagues players and i knew its unlikely that i win, but at least i can try to score as much points as possible to not lose a pip, or maybe even gain one , even if i lose

and if that is not possible anymore then i am sure ALOT of players will just stay in the base once the score hit 300-100, saying things like “well we lost anyway, doesnt matter how many points we score”

I see your point here, and I don’t disagree with it; however my concern is with how that did work in S1. It was entirely dependent upon your personal score whether you gained, lost, or broke even. It tended to encourage a lot more yolo play as opposed to actual teamwork. We need a little bit of a happy medium to encourage teamwork, and encourage the losing team to keep fighting instead of just rolling over.

Maybe I don’t understand your post, but personal score is not a factor in the league system (season 1 or 2).

Then what were the factors used to determine who gained pips, who broke even, and who lost pips on the losing team in S1?

It certainly looked like the top 1 or 2 consistently earned a pip (sometimes 2), despite losing, and the bottom 3 either broke even or lost pip (more often than not, losing a pip). I lost a lot of games, and the only time I recall earning a pip for losing was if I had like the best personal score.

u had a personal chance of winning or losing, and depending on team score at the end u had a personal chance of winning a pip or not losing one. but the personal score never had anything to do w/ it, just coincidence that what u saw w/ top players being the ones to not lose pts or whatever happened

there was a chart somewhere that showed ur expected chances of winning/lose and the pip gain/loss that results. after a match if u gained a pip but lost the match, u could look at the chart to see, well u were only had a 20% chance to win.

Bomber.3872:

Neural.1824:

I have a Fused GS, and a Zodiac Longbow. Both of which I got for under 50g (one was a drop).

Please explain more. As far as I recall it, the fused ones have been only total rng blc skins (and later been available for 7 blc tickets). The zodiac have been since their introdution a blc ticket only skin. I’m not sure about the zodiac at all, so please tell me how one of them was a drop.

maybe the fused gs dropped during the LS1, since that was when they were introduced, possibly it was a drop chance during that time

they’ve said that balance to the game takes priority over the tourney’s. tourney is more of a marketing effort. they try to keep them relatively in sync but whole game > ~20 people

Quoting:
“[–]pardonmemynachos 0 points an hour ago
The desertion change has HUGE potential for abuse. A five-man team could just appoint one person to “take the fall” if they’re losing; that one person DCs and the rest of the team doesn’t lose pips and keeps their win streak intact."

Sorry for this part… but well. HF

it says 5 man team, not party. whether they are actually distinguishing the diff we’ll see. if its a party, then yeah it could be a prob like u note. if its a team, which could be 5 soloq, u’ll be hard pressed to convince me to be the random fall guy for u random suckas

Rising Dusk.2408:

I think they should bring them back similar to how they brought back the aetherized skins. Make them available from some in-game content so that they can be earned.

i’m not against this idea either. it just stinks currently cause if you didn’t get them when they were readily available u are just sol right now.

just some method of obtaining them would be nice

sclerite weapons would be cool as well. those were short lived.

but i really like the looks of fused weapons and i never really jumped on them when they available

Chad.6104:

Agemnon.4608:

Yeah it was a long while. I think they aren’t releasing because it would screw over sellers listing stuff for 1,000g. They had to make a big financial commitment just to list the weapons.

You mean the all of (checks the TP) 35 people who have one of those weapons listed right now? Who might not even be playing the game anymore to care about it? Somehow I don’t see that as a good reason. Especially when they’ve made it clear that vanity items can be released whenever ANet wants to and you sell them for a high price at your own risk.

he may have a pt, gw2 new direction has kind of been aiming at the elite and being sure those players feel rewarded over others for their time/effort/jus cause

a man can dream tho… a man can dream…

zallis.2138:

.
…..

Without actually adding it all up, I would guess you need at least 10,000 of each currency for the HoT collections. I’m just saying it is kind of repetitive.

….?

i think this is basically the whole pt of HoT, welcome to gw2’s future

Been a long time since these were available. At least feels like it.

Anyone else? Bueller? Bueller?

PyrateSilly.4710:

Wow you just figured out the evil plan of every other MMO out there.

just because thats the way every1 does it, doesn’t mean it has to be that way

there is another wey, we are better than that, this is gw2

https://youtu.be/FU1JUwPqzQY?t=1m13s

i like:

the gliding
the balance (as much as i’ve played w/ it, which is lil but feels better)

don’t forget about small guilds and solo/duo players tho w/ all these “big changes”

you all forgot to say ‘mother may i’ when asking for fixes and improvements

it couldn’t hurt

Saunby.5306:

Something I have always missed from guild wars 1 that they didn’t bring into guild wars 2 is the arenas! I know we have WvW etc but sometimes I just miss the simplicity of a 4 v 4 in a small arena. Anybody else feel the same?

yes, its comes up often for a gw1 style RA or similar. devs aren’t interested tho, so
