Guild Wars 2

+1 for the guardians. Really annoying, you’re about to kill him, he casts a skill, he got all his life back. You burst it again, he does the same thing…

And when I escape a group of ennemies, they just hit me again and again and kill me (ranger) and I only have a poor skill to heal 1/3 of my life. But when a guardian tries to escape, he just heals & run and that’s endless.

Blackwolfe.5649:

So.. you are only repairing for the achievement? Not to actually help your team? Because thats what it sounds like.

Help my team? I wasted 10.000 supplies in useless walls in Stonemist Castle. It made us lose it, once, when I used 2.000 supplies in a row. :P Though that was pretty funny to see them asking why the supply was gone.

zargnath.9524:

Also looks like the tiers for capturing SM castle has the same steps, imagine that.

Nope, you only need to do that 100.000 times. :P Ultimate Technician was just an example. But it’s the only one I got a proof it’s very hight.

Long term goal? To encourage me to continue playing?

Dude, I’ll never repair a wall or a door again.

That’s pure grinding, “kill 10 billions rats!”.

Are WvW achievements supposed to be achievable?

I’ve just done, 10 minutes ago, after more than 2 months playing this game, tier 3/5 of Ultimate Technician. It implies using 10.000 supplies in repairing walls and doors. And what did I discover? Tier 4 requires to use 100.000 supplies!

Proof here: http://hpics.li/c322623

So, I guess Tier 5 = 1.000.000 supplies? Using 1.000 supplies everyday for 3 years? Sorry, but I can’t. Nobody can. And even if someone could, I’d say: Poor server. Such waste of supply.

I was expecting something like 25.000 supplies for Tier 4, then 50.000 for last one. So, why so hight? As far as I know, in PvE, no achievement asks you to kill 1.000 times Zhaitan?

I’m not really following all news about Lost Shores… Where does this “Endgame Dungeon” story come from?

I have a feeling of deja vu

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Kicked-out-of-a-dungeon-run-before-last-boss/first#post669563

So the people against lowering the prices seem, curiously, to be the one who have already bought it. Why not lower it a bit like 30-50 gold a set and refund the difference to all players who already own it?

I mean, I fell in love with like 3 set and no, I don’t have 357 gold to spare. However 10 gold per set is a bit too easy so I think that 30-50 would definitly be perfect.

Wow, I am not banned but I think that you guys have convinced me to stop farming in Cursed Shore. ’

Leader leaving the group → The group is deleted, everyone out → You don’t belong to the group doing this dungeon, you are kicked from the dungeon.

That’s not a glitch at all. Though that was not meant to do this.

Saidor.7028:

I dont find many people in the lower levels (1-15). Occasionally you’ll see a group of players running around doing events togather and one or two individuals just starting out but in comparison to the other main mmo’s – its dead.

Well, I don’t know if you have played WoW but it’s exactly the same thing – 90% areas are desert. With quests, it’s not disturbing, it’s even pretty nice, but with DEs… it’s hell…

This is a general problem. All players are in low level areas or in Cursed Shore, the last zone of the game.

Level 30-70 zone are simply offering nothing good and are full of champions that nobody wants to kill. Maybe there should be something like Zaishen Quests in GW1, random missions asking to return somewhere in the game. But nothing like this yet…

Did you try the giant wurm in the Sylvari starting zone? We were 7 players, it took 10 seconds to kill it. O_o

Luigio.3265:

/facepalm…i think anet stated somewhere that it doesnt work like that…but i may be wrong on that count…

that said however, its very lovely and all that you want to get everything without spending a dime, but yes, it should take time, and yes it should be tedious and hard, otherwise how the hell do you expect Anet to cover the overhead to run servers,staff to fix bugs, create new content etc. ? they need to sell gems and gold

ZOMG A WHOLE DAY OF FARMING FOR ONE CHARACTER SLOT THAT IM GONNA BUY JUST ONE TIME ZOMG!!! A WHOOOOOLE DAY

srsly? you can farm 7-8 gold in one day and your complaining about the cost?

so a one time fee for a lifetime extra slot to make a sixth character (you already got five if you needed an extra slot) of 7 gold is that big of a deal? come on…are you seriously trying to justify to me buying gold from farmers/botters as oposed to from arena net? then you sir, are the reason there ARE bots in game ruining the market and the events for everyone else..

Hey dude, yea I got a life, I got parents, and everything, so yea, one day of farming like a zerg without time to go to the toilet is a lot. Wasting 7 gold and a day when you also need gold for your legendary and your cultural t3 armor, just for a character slot, that feels bad. Especially when most someone are doing the same with a few dollars.

Not sure you’d be happy to lose your sunday for a character slot.

I’ve been farming there a long time and this is true.

Players of a team seems to share their damages on mobs ; so being five helps tagging more mobs and, obviously, there’s more loot.

On a pack of ten mobs, common example in Orr events, alone you’ll get 1 blue or green but with a team you’ll get like 3 blue, 1 green, 1 dye, etc… and after a few packs, with 1s per blue and 2s per green, that’s a lot of money. 10 gold & 50k karma a day, if you farm Plinx all day with a team. Probably more with boosters.

Luigio.3265:

….
exactly my point….make the gem > gold exchange rate so ridiculously cheap gemwise, that asian/chinese/philipine/whatever botting farmers simply cannot compete

also, it wouldnt make your life “harder” if you dont buy gems, in fact, its going to make it easier for you because people will have more money to buy stuff you might put up in the trading post, so win-win for you

as for making gold less important in game, its " importance" ends up being purely cosmetical, since 90% of the gold sinks in this game are legendaries, cultural gear and pretty much graphical customization for your character , or wvw (you can spend a lot of cash there actually) so gold’s importance in-game is equivalent to how important it is for you to have T3 cultural / legendary gear

I mean, if you offer more gold for gems, I’ll have to give more gold to get gems. Last time, I wanted to buy a new character slot, it costed me 7 gold! An entire day of farming and doing nothing else! Now I have the feeling that I farmed for a gold seller – actually for Arenanet – so I’m not sure I’ll ever do this again.

At release, it was 40 silver for 112 gems.
Now with 40 silver you get like 50 gems and it was 30-40 gems during Halloween.

To me, there’s no difference between Arenanet and chinese bots selling gold. I mean, bots did nothing to me, both are making this game P2W. The only good thing with Arenanet is that I can get gems in exchange… now if it’s 3 gems for 3 gold, I’m not sure I’m so interested.

Not really a glitch. Some old account bound items are still there, but there no sale because nobody can sell it. Just offers from stupid people^^

BTW that would be nice to fix it. I’m planning to do all achievements and I can’t do this one..

Hello,
It’s been a week since Temple of Balthazar has been glitched on my server (Fort Ranik), so I’ve decided to post it here. The assault event simply doesn’t move. Here are screenshoots.

http://hpics.li/9ab14c1

http://hpics.li/155deac

If you want more detail, you can just go there. It won’t unglitch itself after all^^

This glitch is really annoying because I need to buy Obsidian Shards for my legendary weapon. So I’d be glad if this would be fixed once I got my karma. Thanks!

Luigio.3265:

its simple, ban the gold buyers too, and make the gem to gold exchange so ridiculously good, that they simply cannot compete

that will take care of the botter problem almost entirely

Hey, gems for gold are expensive enough… I’m not a gem buyer so don’t make my life harder :P They should just try to make gold less important in this game, instead of trying to sell more.

Yea, bots are getting smarter.

They farm alone, they have a guild, they look like normal guys, but they just do the same thing again and again without responding. The only solution to this is to be able to detect such programs, not to search teams of clones.

Ruberia.7946:

Lol, elitist? my god this community is filled with kids.

Asking him if he’s not properly geared is not elitist, its a question, grow up seriously.

This is worse than the League of Legends community.

What they meant is that you may have said it a different way or with a bit more words. We cannot know, we weren’t there.

Anyway, you can’t really do anything. Contact support, maybe? It’s the only possible way to contact someone to help you, but not sure they can handle this kind of problem.

Just GIMME, I need like 15K gold for everything I want :P

500 gold per legendary (x20)
120 gold per cultural t3 armor (x9)
1000 gold to fully upgrade my account (character slots, bank, bags…)
and the rest for what Jam linked

I wonder how the sound team got this one :P
(stop imagining stupid things,
stop imagining stupid things
stop imagining stupid things)

Orr is annoying, that’s all. The players won’t change, the game can.

I just wish there could be an end-game zone like Queensdale. <3

1) Delete GW2.
2) Create another game. (GW3 ?)

That’s basically what you’re saying :P

It should just be harder and less random.

Xarog.3172:

ANet has expressed “concern” with regard to the cost of precursors.

Of course. People looting those are getting like 300+ gold. That’s a LOT of gems.

I’m currently working on crafting a legendary as well (The Dreamer) and the precursor costs more than the rest of the components all together.

While Venom is only at 15 gold. And I can’t really understand why. Is Kraitkin less attractive? Different droprates?

Anyway, I’m not gonna open 531599 chests in Orr, I’m not gonna throw 5135 exotics shortbows in the Mystic Forge and I am not going to buy The Lover for 300 gold. Looks like I’ll have to wait…

Keiran.1896:

October -> Halloween.
November -> Big Update.
December -> Wintersday?
January -> After all this stuff, we might have a few months without new content…

Valentines in Februrary?
Easter in March/April?

January might be quiet, but there are other Holidays that could be used in-game.

Easter & Valentines? Yea we gotta kill some giant bunnies and throw some love at dragons. That will definitly be epic.

I just… avoid Orr as much as possible. Too bad that the only lvl 80 dedicated area is there.

October → Halloween.
November → Big Update.
December → Wintersday?
January → After all this stuff, we might have a few months without new content…

Guys, if you make something like this every month O_o you’re awesome

Also can any dev confirm the new zone? I don’t want those awesome pics to be from an instance or whatever..

150 skill points, 250 globs, 250 shards and 250 mystic coins are enough if you use the 1 clover recipe. Also this requires a LOT of gold that’s why I’m stacking hundreds of gold in my bank before starting my legendary…

A guildmate got the entire set after doing 3 times the dungeon… Guess it’s the best place to farm it

20 runs now, I already had The Crossing, now Arachnophobia

Finally some good rewards, after playing the game almost everyday since release.

I looted The Crossing and I’m not stupid enough to sell it now

When the stocks will going down after Halloween and the recipe will cost 140 gold, well I’ll just be selling it 100 gold instead of 20 right now. Money is just a matter of patience.

Do you have any idea of how many threads are called “Mounts”? xP

Just write it in search

Players spend money on repairs -> Huge amount of money are destroyed on large scale -> There’s less money in the game / Players need more money -> Gold is bought with real money.

Same things for waypoints… It’s just an effect of the Gem Store, trying to sell more gems.

And next time they shouldn’t call this a “one-time event” but more a “one-time cinematic” because I was there, yea, and I was really disappointed. And, “you don’t want to miss it” wasn’t true because I think that I would have preferred to miss it, because I wouldn’t have had this glitch that was hiding Mad King during the whole cinematic…

I mean, by event I was expecting a fight. Instead of a full cinematic they could have made a first part where Mad King spawns, then we fight him and his minions as a giant boss, and then the Priory pushs it back. It could have been awesome…

Well, I was so surprised by Act 2 because I was expecting nothing and so disappointed by Act 3 because they said it would be awesome and it wasn’t… Morale of the story, don’t expect things from people.

About kids in Lion Arch, I forgot to say: I’d love a little quaggan with a christmas hat, or playing with a baby bear. Also I can easily see a charr kid throwing snowballs at everyone. That kind of awesome details, you know <3

Also, I loved that mini-game in cities (in GW1), you know, where you had to gather gifts on the floor, and bring them to the kids before the Grentchs run on you and destroy it. (In exchange, they were giving you a special gift).

And finally, those little quests where you had to gather ingredients all over the world to build a snowman or create a grentch. It was just like Mad King’s memoires during Halloween.

That’s weird because I didn’t change my FoV and then I went in a glitched area (place out of the map where you are not supposed to be able to go) and then when I went out I had the new FoV?

Well, anyway it’s great, I don’t want to remove it

So, now we have almost seen all the content of Halloween, I’m sure that some developpers are already working on some content for Christmas. So, maybe that if they read a few threads sometimes, we could inspire them? Anyway, I’m just curious, so what you, players, would you like to see in that event?

In Guild Wars 1, it was a fight between two gods, Grenth (death) and Dwayna (life). Grenth wanted to set an eternal and deadly winter on Tyria, while Dwayna wanted spring to come back. We were able to choose our side – yea, even the bad guyz.

Grenth minions were called Grentchs ( http://huntersinsight.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/grentch.jpg ), and they were very good at ruining Wintersday by making trapped gifts and destroying kids’ snowmens.

Dwayna had minions too – snowmens ( http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/thumb/a/a8/Snowman_(smiling).jpg/150px-Snowman_(smiling).jpg ) and their goal was obviously to make Wintersday an happy party.

-

Now, in Guild Wars 2, as far as I know, gods have not been seen for a while. But that didn’t prevent Mad King from coming back, so I guess we have good chances to see them again!

The first thing that I would want for Wintersday is obviously Lion Arch being decorated. Snow, garlands, giant gifts, kids having fun, small details, that was the magic of Guild Wars 1 parties!

For the “real content”, I’d love to see an area dedicated to the event, like Mad King’s labyrinth. But we would have to chose our side (Grentchs or Snowmens? ) and all our skills would be replaced by special skills (Snowball fight!) and that would create a huge PvP fight with events like WvW (thought there may be balance problems if a side is overplayed?).

For the dungeons, I’d love to see two mini dungeons like Mad King’s fight, involving killing the boss of Snowmens or Grentchs (so involving chosing your side again).

For items, I’d also love Halloween’s model. Looting Candy Cane Shards (->like Pieces of Candy), crafting Candy Canes, also using gold items (Snowballs? Candies? Ribbon?) and opening Wintersday Gifts (->like Candy Bags).

On Arenanet’s side, I’m sure that they’ll find tons of costumes and hat to sell. Even maybe skins in Black Lion Chests.

So, let’s come back to our main question: and you?

Currently, all events are giving the same reward, depending on your level. That creates a “melting pot” effect: all players are going in low level areas (easy events) or hight level areas (more loots). The middle-level areas are really big, and that’s not a bad thing, but they are full of champions events with nobody to complete them.

The second problem is that players are not really encouraged to do events. One or two silver is not much for a level 80 character, especially since waypoints are expensive. We always know what we are going to get, there’s no random loot…

That is why I am posting about an idea: giving a chest for each completed Dynamic Event. These chests could have different loots for each zone.

Example.

Queensdale Chest:
“Thanks for helping Queensdale.”-Logan Thackeray

Common loots (50-60% of chance to get two):
- 1-3 random Tier 1 crafting material.
- 1-2 silver coins.
- Green/Blue items depending on your level.
- 50 random Tier 1 tools.
- 1-2 unidentified dyes.

Better loots (15-25% of chance to get one):
- An item giving 1000 karma.
- A rare item depending on your level.
- A random gem store item (Boost, Black Lion Key, Black Lion tools, etc.)
- A weapon skin dropable in Queensdale (double-click to apply).

Very rare loots (5% of chance to get one):
- A rare exotic item depending on your level.
- A random miniature.
- 20 silver coins.

The game would feel way more rewarding that way and people would be way more attracted by Dynamic Events. Also, you could put interesting rewards in lvl 30-60 to have more population and better rewards on champions events.

Now, players,
Do you agree/disagree (arguments) ?
Do you have more loots ideas?

First, all my characters have 10 slots bags, it’s so cheap and easily craftable…Why not a soul or account-bound 20 slots one? It costs over 10 gold right now because of the rune… that would have been a wonderful gift…

Good idea. That would probably encourage me to trade all my corn for bags.

Games shouldn’t be about luck.

It wasn’t amazing to me… It was just glitched, I saw no Mad King, just a big hole, and we had nothing else to do than watching this video…

Seriously, they shouldn’t had so teased us just for this…

Just wanted to share a little wonderful moment with you: in Mad King’s dungeon, when you fall in the void, you usually get teleported to the top and killed.

That didn’t happen to me… I went to the bottom of the map, where there was only water and the background image of space. But this was just magic.

So just enjoy these pics.

I just love swimming into space <3

Also it’s written on the wiki: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mad_Memoires:_Complete_Edition

It seems to only accept gems without any level requirement

Set a button for autorun in your options then just press it in front of a wall. But not sure it won’t kick you…

And I don’t think that there will be special reward… Not after all these threads…

:??

I’m not sure to understand. I live in Europe, they have always given time in PST, and we had never missed anything.
