Guild Wars 2

OP your solution hinders the majority of the player base in an effort to minimize a small annoyance, “Gold sell spam”. I’d rather block and report a few times a day as opposed to the restrictions you suggest.

I have a message for the post 4/15 daily achievement system…

Snipe hunting FTW

In fact it is already in the game. Let me take you snipe hunting some time. Look me up.

TPMN.1483:

Personally I would prefer to have a unified system (kitty) across all characters and the ability to put a deposit of gold in your bank .

The answer = personal guild bank.

YOSO – You only salvage once. No swag for you.

They work, but you probably need to change your keyboard settings if you want to use them as standard function keys. By default the Mac keyboard setup requires you to press the “fn” key to use the F1-F12 functions.

You can change this by going to System Preferences > Keyboard and then check the box that says, “Use all F1, F2 etc as standard function keys.”

Once you make the change you can use F1-F12 without having to press the “fn” key to do so. However, to do things like change volume and such you will need to use the “fn” key.

Helifano.4103:

The most off-putting thing about the idea is that everything is already compacted into a single file. However, I really just had the urge to change the music in the game. Possible, not possible, or just really complicated?

Edit: everyone spammed the answer around the same time

More choice = good for PvE and PvP players. Less choice = feeling forced into doing things to get a laurel = bad.

Everything was working well for most involved before this change.

evoRobot.4019:

I found a permanent solution. Today I sold my mac and started building my first PC. All for GW2.

LOL well if GW2 and gaming in general is a priority you probably made the right choice. I wouldn’t say that is a viable solution for most Mac users though.

Buy a mouse with extra programmable buttons. I have one (Razer Naga) and they are just cheap.

well i already have that , i have the Logitech MX400 , and those 2 thump buttons are being used for the 2 most importent Virtue skills of my guardian , so there is not much space on my mouse , and i already tryed dodging with middle mouse button but that feels awkward..

Well you have been given a lot of good advice here. As what you currently use doesn’t seem to work for you, you will need to figure something out if you want to avoid the problem you have now. Plus MX400 isn’t really a gaming mouse. If you like Logitech products check out the Logitech G600 That is what I have and I love it. You’ll never have to click skills again because they can be all at your thumb.

Yeah, it may be best to just bind your dodge to another key like E,R,C,V or anything close to your WASD keys. Personally, I use the double click to dodge on movement keys. So if I want to dodge forward I double click W, dodge side D or A and dodge back S. It seems to work fairly well for me.

I’ll admit, I tried ESO the last few days as a change of pace. I couldn’t stand it. The character UI is terrible, the colors are bland, it just wasn’t fun or interesting. It reeks of a MMO that is trying to appeal too much to platform gamers. Just a few hours ago I submitted a refund request. I give it 4/10 so I’m back here with GW2.

I got my refund, so I’m sure you can do the same. I told a little white lie though..

I just told them the game wasn’t anything close to what I expected and I didn’t find it a decent product for the money. I imagine I’ll hear back in a day or so.

BTW: If I had 80s that had done all the skill points, I’d start another character to get the skill points.

What if you are out of character slots?

Then you probably wouldn’t have just 80s who have done every single Skill Point.

Maybe, maybe not. I know several players with all 80s in their character slots. Not to mention the fact that creating a new character just to complete a daily deviates a large amount from flexible game play. Should people really have to create new characters to finish a daily?

You want to do the dailes, you do whatever it takes. If you create a new character for skill points now, just leave it hanging around for the next time you need them, or for leveler.

Wrong answer. I don’t get you man. You claim you are learning the game but yet you have a lot to say about things you openly admit you don’t know much about. Such as:

Lankybrit.4598:

You get skill points when you level? OK sorry, still got things to figure out.

Then there is your post history, a very extensive one full of posts that seem to express knowledge of the game. Either you are trolling or maybe you “inherited” your account from someone else and just started playing. I don’t get it. Either way, making characters to complete a daily is a wrong answer.

Before the patch we had 10 choices for each game mode and that was far more flexible than the system we have now. There was nothing wrong with the old system. The new system puts handcuffs on PvE and PvP players. If you can’t see that then I’m sorry, you’ll figure it out at some point.

Had to burn 2 skill scrolls to get today’s daily done since 3 of the 8 non-pvp goals were WvW or fractal. Only have level 80 characters and no way I can gain 3 levels in my daily gaming session.

Thanks Anet.

You only need to gain one Level for Leveler. You may be thinking of Skill Points, where you need to gain 3.

Actually today it is skill point accumulator which requires 3 either leveling, finding skill point challenges if not completed already or burning scrolls.

Today there are only 5 PvE dailies:

Daily Events, Daily Kills, Daily Reviver, Recycler, and Skill Point Accumulator.

The later requires either leveling 3 times, burning scrolls, or finding skill point challenges. Finding skill point challenges is not possible if you have already completed the map and done all the challenges so you are left with burning scrolls or spending a lot of time to level 3 times.

Finishing dailies should never require burning resources just for the sake of finishing a daily.

I love my L80 Mesmer. I can carry my own in open world PvE, I’m a valuable asset in most dungeons, and it is just plain fun to play.

Boar>Troll>Bandit>Oak and Wasp when up on the way to Boar again.

I’ve seen a few people post that they do Bandit after Oak and I don’t get it. That’s just an added waypoint that cuts into profit. It makes much more sense to run to Bandit from Troll then do Oak.

ParagonFury.2617:

So I finally got GW2 working again (some weird start-up crash) but I was wondering; what would be a decent High Pop. server for the Americas? Preferably one that is close to EST timezone to keep time sort of accurate? (Rather not have it be night time when I’m playing during my day off for instance)

Tarnished Coast. However with the new Mega-server gig it isn’t as important.

Less choices hurts the average player. Even if the 5 PvE dailies are easy you can’t get an additional 1,2, or 3 more points via PvE if you feel like it. With achievement chests these limits become a problem. With the old system I easily got my 5 daily through PvE play and often 1 or 2 more just from doing my PvE play. Now I’m limited to 5 or 6 instead of 1 through 10. The less PvE points I can earn per day when I feel like pursuing them, the longer it takes me to get that next achievement chest. The same goes for PvP only players who are throttled as well.

I’ve been lurking the PvP forum and it seems there are a lot of complaints about PvE players taking up space. So it seems this new change doesn’t really help most players in each game mode.

Result, Anet trying to funnel players into game modes they don’t care for helps no one.

As far as the players that can’t control themselves from doing every single daily there is, again more dailies benefit them. They’ll hit the 10k cap sooner and then don’t have to worry about it ever again. Maybe Anet should offer a gem store item, “Cap Your Daily” that will cap them at 10k. I’d probably gift those to a few people here just so I don’t have to hear how horrible it is having to do every daily.

DarkOcean.8746:

This is growing into a pretty large suggestion thread!

Not really.

uknortherner.2670:

Generally, it looks like there’s a lot of support for this suggestion so far in this thread (a rarity for the GW2 forums!).

38 now 39 posts in this thread doesn’t really equal a lot of support. LOL

velmeister.4187:

Why does this thread remind me of “Full Metal Jacket”?

:D

Full Metal Jacket

Tonight, you pukes will sleep with your rifles. You will give your rifle a girl’s name because this is the only [censored] you people are going to get. Your days of [censored] ol’ Mary-Jane [censored] through her [censored] are over! You’re married to this piece. This weapon of iron and wood. And you will be faithful. Port, hut!

Full Metal Jacket

This is my rifle. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.

There are several that look like that including the human female starter light armor, human female temple, and some others I can’t recall.

You can upgrade to the most recent OS X Mavericks for free. That is probably the only way to fix it.

I never noticed personality make a difference in the game anyway. For example the heart in Queensdale where you talk to Ettins. Even when I used my primary personality to talk to them it seemed random if they walked away or went into attack mode. So I gave up worrying about it.

With 1300 gems, Copper-Fed Salvage-o-Matic. 800 gems. Great for cleaning out all that low value loot and getting luck as well as mats on the fly without having to worry about carrying a bunch of kits. That will leave you with 500 gems and only 100 gems away from a bank expansion. The other unlimited tools are 1000 gems.

KittyCat.2059:

1. Fix the TP.
2. More PVP maps.
3. More visually stunning vanity rewards such as devil/angel wings that have a fire/glow effect or a gear piece with effects.:)
4. Sell multiple items at once in TP. like a check mark option of your bag items.;)
5. add mounts

Ref: Your 2-5. This thread is about top 5 requests for the Mac client specifically. Not over all game changes.

Probably best for you to just let it go and join a different party and try again.

Malediktus.9250:

i said core of THE problem not core problem
and whats wrong asking about a feature officially announced ~3 weeks ago for the feature patch and suddenly there is no sign of it left in the patchnotes

Nothing is wrong with asking about it. No one chastised you for doing so. If I were you, I’d assume that it was there since it was mentioned on the feature notes. Too bad it will take you longer to get to 10k now that they limited the dailies so much. I hope you get there soon though. I’m tired of hearing about the horrible life of daily achievement point addicts.

Malediktus.9250:

Not at all. I got burned out because I felt like being forced to do all dailies every day otherwise I would permanently loose out. While 10 daily points would make it easier to do all per day (instead of the 6 hours per day as previously), it still does not fix the core of the problem

That isn’t a core problem, that is your problem. If it were a core problem it would affect almost every player in the game.

I really don’t think there was anything wrong with the dailies system as it stood before. I’d really like to go back to that amount of choice.

You are right there wasn’t a problem with the amount of choice. The only players negatively affected by having more daily options are the ones that can’t control themselves from having to do all of them. A very very small group of players.

If Anet is going to cater to players of that mindset they might as well reduce the number of minis available too to appease the mini collectors that can’t stop spending all their gold because they feel they have them all.

We don’t know how big the pool of players who couldn’t control themselves were.

You are right, we don’t know. However, I feel comfortable guessing they are a very small minority. Just looking at the leaderboards and the percentages of people in AP ranges kind of gives a decent idea. Only Anet knows for sure but really, is limiting everyone worth it in the long run?

Limiting it now was probably best for the latter category (the new players who may feel they’ll never be able to catch up to the old players) in the long run. When 3-4 years of LS achievements have come and gone.

However, they should have just left it at capping total AP earned from them and not reducing the options available. The limited it too much. Hopefully, they’ll course correct in a later patch.

Catching up to old players assumes people care about the leaderboards. Really, I think being able to get more achievement points toward achievement chests is more important for new players. I can’t validate that but it seems to make sense. With the new system new players get less achievement points per day and slower progress toward achievement chests.

There should have never been a PvE leaderboard to start with.

I thought the 10k cap on daily achievement points was put in place for those that feel the need to do every daily achievement every day. Only Anet knows for sure but really, is limiting everyone worth it in the long run?

Pourekos.5032:

I want back the bigger selection from before the 15th April where I could get the dailies done by doing the activities I liked doing. Some days I was doing only PvE, others only sPvP and others a bit of both- in most occasions the dailies were completed without even bothering to hunt them down, I was simply enjoying the game. Now, not so more and I do not like it.

Yep the new way is much more restrictive. Sure we don’t have to do dailies but laurels are a valuable commodity. Dailes were much more fun to achieve under the old system. At this point I’m a bit concerned about how limited we may be with the next monthly. Who knows how limited those options will be…

Leamas.5803:

JustTrogdor.7892:

Just buy a new rune. They are like 19 silver.

This is not a good answer though. What if it were something like Bloodlust or Traveler, I’m not just going to “buy” new runes/sigils. So the new transmutation system isn’t as flexible as the stones? I haven’t tried it yet, but can’t say that I’m surprised…any excuse to make us spend more gold.

But that is the answer, so I’d say it is good. Buy new runes or use upgrade extractors/black lion salvage kits to get the rune out of the old armor. Of course the later won’t work on karma gear or WvW gear. What you think of the new system is neither here nor there. The answer to the OP’s question remains the same.

Poitus.2860:

Am I missing something Malediktus?

You’ve been playing for weeks now (let’s assume 6 weeks, 42 days), and you’ve got 9100 AP from dailies? (that means 214 AP per day from dailies)???

Are you sure? (Are you hovering over the AP and it’s telling you 9000 dailies???)

let’s assume you could get 25 daily APs – to get 9000 from daily that would be 360 days…

…confused.

He said he has barley played for weeks. Meaning he has not played much over the last several weeks, not that he just started playing for weeks.

Malediktus.9250:

I got over 9k daily AP and barely played for weeks now.

Ele Lady.6103:

Anyone else putting fancy skins on leveling gear?

Not me. I level my alts so fast it isn’t worth it to use charges to make them look decent. I can wait until they hit 80.

You can run dungeons and get tokens for gear and it is a good way to farm gold as well. Exotic gear really doesn’t cost that much and if you run 3-4 dungeon paths a day you can buy it on the TP in no time. Once you get the hang of it you can run CoF path 1, AC paths 1,2,3, in about an hour easy.

Just buy a new rune. They are like 19 silver.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I haven’t seen any real increase in ‘Troll’ comments.

I have not seen so much “trolling” on TC but more a degrade in the quality of chat on TC. I’m pretty forgiving when it comes to cursing and such and mostly just ignore it. However in the last few days I’ve seen multiple conversations that would probably make adult movie writers blush. I don’t like having to use block and report features but I’ve had to several times recently. It wasn’t always that way and is one reason why I moved to TC a long time ago.

zerefnosekai.7286:

justtrogdor i will do that then it been a really long time time to see what has changed while waiting for the support so if tommorow or monday get an answer
i have to wait for 7 days

Well, good luck and maybe just roll different alts and do some key farming or something like that. Maybe do some map exploration for charges for your wardrobe. Remember when you delete all your characters everything in your bank and wallet will stay with you. You could also take a it as a way to learn a little German.

i tried haven’t got an answer yet
its sad that i have 3 days off connection issues finally installed it and got this problem

Well the turn around time for support is usually 72 hours. With the new changes I imagine they are really tied up with gem refund requests and such. If you don’t hear back within 72 hours there is a thread in the account forum for support tickets 3 days and older you can post in with your ticket number.

I’d suggest just tinker around a bit with characters until you hear back. Don’t get too attached to any characters in the event they won’t transfer you and you need to delete characters again for another transfer in 7 days to transfer again.

zerefnosekai.7286:

thats the thing thats how i accidentally went to the server my old server was dead and i deleted ever char and accidentally entered a german server

Well, you will have to wait 7 days before you can transfer again. You could also try submitting a support ticket to see if they will help you out.

You all won’t get much help here unfortunately. I suggest you all file a support ticket. It is about the only way to let Anet know there is a problem they need to look into.

It takes like 3 minutes. How often do you roll alts that it is that much of a problem?

You all won’t get much help here unfortunately. If the fix posted in the post above doesn’t work for you file a support ticket. It is about the only way to let Anet know there is a problem they need to look into.

Asacledhae.2650:

Have you checked the “Superior Sigils” yet?
The way it is right now, it goes for 25% on Minor ones, 50% on major, and 100% on superior.

The superior ones cost a lot to get, though..

No they are all not all 25%, 50%, 100% but the cool down is less per tier of sigil.

For example, sigil of air is:

Minor: 50% cool down 7 seconds
Major: 50% cool down 5 seconds
Superior: 50% cool down 3 seconds

I must say though if sigils such as air and fire were 100% on crit with a 3 second cool down they would be way OP.

Leo Paul.1659:

I really really don’t like how they’re practically forcing people to play modes they normally wouldn’t because of the daily… I thought they changed they dailies before to avoid this particularly? Why the change of heart?

I don’t get it either. I don’t know if they are trying to appease the very very small group of achievement point addicts or trying to get people to play other game modes. Either way it seems to be a detriment to the majority of the player base.
