Wait, but this doesnt stop anyone from mailing a precursor or some other expensive item which can just be sold for a similar cost, right?
No….. just gold for now and I’m sure Anet will watch the Meta data for any paterns of abuse.

I approve of this message as this would also slow guilds for buying/paying guilds/tranfers to fill coverage gaps during WvW tournaments.
If you dont like SW then you probaly won’t like the expasnsion then since H.O.T will have currenacy like the bandit crest and the events will probaly be similiar. SW and Dry Top map are testing grounds for H.O.T!
about 5 sec lag, watching treb hit the wall of a tower then about 5 sec later the wall takes damage after impact.
Just trolls trying to get players to burn them up now.
Anet has said they have not decided on what they are going to do with these yet.

I’m excited to see all the already rich folks speculating and buying up some items that are in limited supply to destroy everyone’s hopes for a precursor.
Hopefully every precursor requires a stack of giants eyes to dance in front of or something.
Some may get rich sure, but destroying everyones chance to get a precursor is huge strecth there. They dont control the the supply of mats in the open world or control the rng of the mystic toilet. Everyones chance remains the same!!
Anet made the right call here with this and it shows they learned their leasson with all the QQ that went about the Queensdale Champ train fiasco from entitled farmers. (farm my way or else nasty qq attitude rage in map chat)
I was never an active Queensdale farmer. In fact, I HATED the champ trains for what they were – mindless, toxic, and bad for the game.
My argument here isn’t even for comparable T6 mat output. Use it as a chance to grant low players more T1 mats and make low level crafting faster and less obnoxious for players just coming in. THAT’S a new player experience.
Obviously Anet disagrees and learned their lesson and they will say things changed in development in the direction they want to take the game. So by throwing up “play your way” defense only goes so far and gets shot down most of the time by Dev’s in post and by patches.

Most people that play the game regularly will have 1000-2000 SP’s, so I can’t imagine it will matter that much. I spend mine regularly and I will have over 1000, plus a stack of scrolls just in case.
no way. I play a lot of WvW in my time in GW2 and no where near get that many scrolls…
I have just little over 2,000 scrolls saved up and have 2,000+ skill points on one on my toons in skills tab also, its not like scrolls are hard to get in EOTM.
Hi, i just bought the Salvager’s kit but i have a problem with the extractors. When i double click on them nothing happens and if i right click on them i only have the option to destroy them. Am i missing something?
Extractors you have to click on the item you want to get the upgrade from
It’s incredible how many people forget that this was a test of the servers and not the expansion.
This is funny coming from someone that wanted to use tomes of knowledge and transfer over ascended gear for your beta toon yesterday.
I love this game. but this is very op’ed.. I understand, stress test, beta and all that. That said, we should provide feedback.
The timers are too short.. Blast finisher, lifesteal fields etc etc. Just way too op’ed of a class. Anet has to know this and there will be nerfs Which is a bad term being beta but if let us play and tone it down, we scream nerf..
Few folks in map keep saying how we have not seen what other classes get, but IF they match it , then everyone is op’ed.. Just silly..

“Difficulty was tuned accordingly and pretty much reduced to a level that wouldn’t be overwhelming for someone who’d never played the game.”
Well I hope for a paid expansion we get more than one new zone!
People can only judge on what they have now. Anet wants feedback on what we see. We can’t give feedback on stuff that’s going to happen in the future, only on what’s available now.
Its still being presumptuous for a demo build when things are tweaked just for a demo build versus what we will get.
If anet didn’t want us to talk about stuff in the beta, then they shouldn’t’ve shown it to us. They did, and encouraged us to share our thoughts. I think it’s fair game to talk about the beta, and the revenant as they are now.
Yes, but you’re missing the point and what the OP is saying so I’m not going waste anymore of my time talking to you, Have a nice day, I know I will!
See I was right proof in the pudding https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/Feedback-on-HoT-Stress-Test-merged/page/3#post4915383

Do you realize what you see now doesn’t represent how it will be on release and after? So its too early to judge!
People want to see Revenant play not a Mesmer!!!

The toons you make in beta will be deleted in between betas most likely and 100% for sure before release of expansion.
I fail to see the relevance of this statement. Additionally, there is no certainty to it, either. You are speculating. You may be spot on with it, but then again, you may not.
The email that was sent out states, “characters and account progress MAY be deleted at the end of the test period.”Either way, it has nothing to do with the original posting. But thanks for your input.
My point is why waste tomes of knowledge etc on a toon that will be deleted? Yes acutally there is 100% certainty to it that you toons you make in beta will be deleted before official release of the expansion. Because someone got into this beta stressed test it doesn’t mean 100% that you will in the next beta test. I know from experience for testing many games.
Think about it Anet will not let the beta testers have an advantage of all the tings that they may unlock during beta testing over all the people that didn’t play beta on release day.
Thanks for your troll post!!! Have a good day I know I will.
i hope we can chose lvl 80 gear though
and dont just get something and cant take other stats/runes etcand ofc all traits must be unlocked
You realize that this test is a STRESS test and not a FEATURE test right? So expect many things to be locked.
ofc many things will be locked
but how are we supposed to play without gear?
and if we dont have access to our banks they sure will have to give us access to free gear for the stress test
and we cant unlock any traits during stresstest (no time and i dont think we can enter the normal world with the beta chars)
so they will have to make all traits instantly unlocked if they want us to be able to play at all
They don’t have to unlock all traits etc so you can play, Anet will keep thinks locked as they don’t want to give away all the secrets as to what they are putting into the game. Especially when they haven’t talked about tons of things yet about the expansion and plus thing are always to subject to change.
Again this is a stress test not a play/feature test
A “stress test” is stressing the servers to see what load balancing they need to do and that’s is it plain and simple.

Probably cost prohibitive for Anet/NcSoft to do a Russian version upfront and backend, unlike with China having a much more larger population/player base than Russia thus the Chinese version will pay off.
As for the rest of you guys here look up banned, movies, books, video games etc and you find a long list of countries that have banned things for all sort of things. Anet/NcSoft would NOT put in panda bears that could be killed in GW1 Factions expansion because it would kitten off Chinese Government and people, so Anet made panda bear minis instead.
With all the toys and few outfit accessories taking up space in our banks plus with more coming at some point it would be nice to have a tab for all of it. (Like for minis, ap chest rewards skins etc)
mad king scepter, the witch broom, magic carpet, water baloon thingy, etc.
One for potions would be nice to have also as others have said below

Reference real-life people, that’s funny because one player in game has several alts named after real life high profile people and their names where never change as I’ve reported them several times.
dx 12 first before vr!
As for the Grawnk issue I believe you had to start the quest/talk to him during Wintersday at least once for it to remain triggered. I could be wrong.
Kateryn is right you had to of made progress in the event chain for the npc’s to remain active from what support told me.
It was confirmed that expansion will not get any dx 10,11,12 update so no need to buy a new video card. Source: video from press even at Anet office within the past couple weeks . Of course things are always subject to change between now and then.
edit found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dBqAw7C3U at 7min 25 sec
He just said that you don’t need to upgrade your HW, the dx10+ could still be possible
That’s not all he said, he said the devs are getting new tech so they can make the game and that things will stay the same for us.

While back when the ranger class got the buffs it badly needed and was able to hold its own finally. Many people cried ranger got OP instead getting used to the changes or adjusting their builds or play style some. So the ranger class was quickly nerfed back down where it is now. My 2 cents
you can only finish it if you made progress in the event chain from what I was told by support, by simply having the letter does you no good.
I think it would be nice for people that have personal Merchant, TP, Bank, Hair stylist should get a copy on all alts. I only have 2 of the 4 (Merchant, TP)
As for gathering tools and salvage items yeah it would nice but how much extra Gems would you be willing to pay for it? I asked because Commanders tag was 100g each per alt then went account wide with each alt getting a copy for 300g.
The item is working as intended, it doesn’t say it will ONLY work during the Halloween event.
Bloodtide Coast is a terrible spot for this, if it’s the location I’m thinking of. You really want to do this where there is no nearby heart for people to do. Farmers screaming at people for killing creatures to get their heart done is just completely pathetic.
The bold part is precisely why we can’t have nice things and the exact reason why the Queensdale champ farm was nerfed. People will always find a way to exploit anything to get ahead, I guess it human nature as greed always brings out the worst in allot of people.
^
The “problem” is that those ambients are more concentrated in that area and spawn faster than usual because they are one of the objectives for doing that heart. That makes this a prime location for the farmers after the Rata Sum farm was nerfed. If they keep this up, ANet will nerf this farm also and they’ll have to find another, not as good spot.
You’d think people would figure this out and control themselves but, I guess not.
The problem always has been “Farmers screaming at people” not that " ambients are more concentrated in that area and spawn faster than usual because they are one of the objectives for doing that heart". Heart is working as intended, people’s bad attitude isn’t. This no different from all the farming nerfs and death of the 55 Monk (RIP) in GW1. Anet always gives us things with good intentions in mind; however the bad apples always ruin a good thing for everyone in someway.
So Congrats on getting another good weapons kill farm spot nerfed!!!

It’s possible that Anet may add it to Laurel Merchant like they did with Candy corn node and other items. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Laurel_Merchant#Living_World_Season_1_Rewards
Hope we don’t have to wait to next Wintersday!!
Why would you buy them at all?
read above 3rd post and speculation
I accidentally deleted the letter. Would it be possible to get CS to restore it?
only way to finish it if you made progress in the event chain, doesn’t matter if you have the letter or not.
Yes, the star gives random junk in exchange for some empyreal fragments. Hardly a big deal if you miss this item.
May not be a big deal for yourself but for others it helps get rid of empyreal fragments by having another use of them instead of trashing them getting nothing in return.
Random junk in return? not everything you can get is junk there are some useful things you can get.
Crafting materials, Upgrade components, Salvage items, Containers ,Trinkets and Other
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Generosity%27s_RewardOh yes, 1% chance to get something remotely useful. Nothing special you couldnt get in other ways.
That’s still beside the point and your 1% number is wrong. anything besides the junk vendor items that you may get is useful.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Generosity%27s_RewardTrust me. 98% of it will be random, worthless vendor trash.
RNG is RNG still no reason why to have this item so limited like it is.

I rather Mawdrey gets an alternative.
Its too grindy.
I’d be happy with it if I foxfire clusters had a spot in the materials tab, geodes in the wallet, and I could get the mists thingamabob without doing Fractals.
As for “foxfire clusters having a spot in the materials tab, geodes in the wallet” then you need to make a thread for your suggestions, this thread isn’t the place for it.
Fractals is available to you 24/7 365 days a year for you to play to get your mist drops. Star of Gratitude acquisition is not! So your argument here is invalid, Star of Gratitude acquisition should be available to us 24/7 365 days a year.
[/quote]
I think the difference is that Mad Memoires is a cool skin, but the star of gratitude provides a valuable service.[/quote]
Yes exactly star of gratitude provides a valuable service.
To few others: You can only finish the quest chain if you made progress in the chain, just having the letter on a toon will not let you finish the quest chain.
This is why we can’t have nice things people will cry no matter what they do!!
Sometimes things break at the last minute regardless how much testing already has been done.
Sometimes things break and can’t be fixed in time thus a delay happens.
Sometimes they feel some extra time is needed for some reason.
I would rather have it done right the first time and not 1/2 done so take all the time needed.
So be grateful that they told us 1 day before the patch was going to come out and not on patch day.
Its not currently being worked on, hopefully when they get done with H.O.T they will look into it further.
Daily reset and Daily login are 1 hour later, so would be everything else
Yes they will reset 1 hour later
It would be a win-win for everyone from increased performance, bug fixes, less stress for servers, and new tricks the programmers could to do with the DX api. Only Anet knows what’s the wide range of hardware everyone is using since they collect data on everything about the game. Even people with low end systems will have to upgrade at some point and why kitten the rest of us when the benefits out weigh the cost of small amount of players too upgrade.

They really should make this available for Laurels or at least make it available again next wintersday – and confirm that this will happen.
I’m all for keeping some content temporary, but after all previous rewards of this kind have been available on the Laurel merchant, just suddenly popping an event where you don’t get anything if you happened to miss it makes no sense at all. All or nothing, if some temporary rewards stay available, all have to stay.
regardless of this, ways to get rid of this enormous spam in ascended crafting materials should never have been event-bound in the first place. Pretty much every active player had more of these materials than they will ever use within a month of them being released – now just throwing drops away to keep them from piling up.
Yes exactly I agree 100% with you, I made a thread yesterday asking to bring it back in some way I was jumped for being “entitled” or that “I have right to this item”
Hopefully the right person see’s out post/threads on this then nudges someone to make this happen.
Ontop of that, if we look at so called “facts” they never re-released the shattered holographic dragon wings nor the Sunless wings. So Anet has absolutely no reason to re-release the star, based on past experiences.
Well you are wrong and on the wrong side of history here: You are going just going by 2 skins Anet never released them again in some way. (I know Antitoxin Injector skin they never released again so that that 3)
Anet has brought almost all skins but those you mentioned, who knows could it be an oversight on their part or just a decisions that they made not to. We just don’t know!
Now some facts: Originally some of these Black Lion Weapons Specialist skins come and went before they added them back to the vendor full time minus some historical skins. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Lion_Weapons_Specialist
34 skins/items they brought back here
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Laurel_Merchant#Living_World_Season_1_Rewards
Since the community has been asking for another way to get rid of Empyreal Fragments, Dragonite Ore, and Bloosd Stone dust for this one to be so limited is not cool.

Thank you for contacting the Guild Wars 2 Support Team.
If you made some progress during the Wintersday, you can continue the quest for the missing ornaments and bring back the spirit of Wintersday to those children. They won’t mind how much you take to get the tree decoration back. However, it is not possible to have a fresh start with this collection if you didn’t respond to the children’s call.
Is your McAfee anti-virus settings set to scan when you access files/programs? If so its scanning the 20gb Dat file bogging down your system.
I’m not sure about that. But it seems like that’s not where the issue came from tho
You say this only happens when you try to play games so it tells me it has nothing to do with a virus but more of hardware dying or software settings is wrong.
I bet its your McAfee anti-virus settings, disable or uninstall it and try your games then and see what happens. The new 2015 Kaspersky Internet Security version done the same thing to me.
