Guild Wars 2

Missy.7356:

where people like me cant/dont want to go.

Those are two different things lol
1. How can you not go there? explain lol
2. You don’t want to go but then I am also sure you “don’t want” the extra stats too lol

Hardcore players, what do you do? Is this the game for you?
I been playing since release.

Hit 80 long ago, even done 80 on a few characters, recently finished a legendary and purchase a commander status. Done all the dungeons necessary to gear my character for cosmetics. Hit Lv. 20 on PVP but feeling like it’s hardly rewarding at all. Explored a few jump-quest.
I log on to finish my daily and slightly feel like it’s barely even rewarding to do so. I understand that the feature of the game was to make the endgame items easily obtainable [I personally see legendary items are “beyond” endgame content] and getting to level 80 is a very easily do-able feature if you finish all the quest they give you. But…

Now what is there to do? What do hardcore players do now? Did most of us move to a different game? I know that Gw2 wouldn’t have funded so much more into advertisements in the recent month if they weren’t dropping in players.
What games did hardcore players move to?

ascended gear has been release to keep a few hardcore players but what use are the minor extra stats if the game itself barely requires the need for them?

this might be the feature in guildwars 2 but it’s surely not keeping hardcore players as interested as different games are.

playing 4+ hours a day since release is more than enough to finish nearly all the “major” and “exciting” content in gw2

can any hardcore players tell me what they’re still doing in this game?

Skins alone cannot keep most of us playing the game for longer and longer. Maybe they did it a little early but I appreciate new content when it comes.
For those who don’t like a new ceiling most of them will complain but few will leave for that reason. It was a smart move to make them, Just not a smart time to release them.

andeysmandey.1647:

Actually, bots were banned and that’s why prices are going up.

Yes I that is a huge factor to the cause but I also believe the entire precursor price drop is another big factor to the recent inflation

I find it funny how player complaint about Precursors being too expensive to claim, A-net gives in and settles for a compromise.
The results? Some of the more/harder to farm important T6 Mats hitting 20s+ each from 2s-4s [Before A-net announces a compromise].

People complained;
Precursors may have dropped in prices, A-net may be coming out with “more” [not necessarily easier] ways to get a precursor. SO prices for “other” mats raised
People will complain again lol

If a player is smarter they can obviously obtain one much earlier
If a player was harder working they can obviously obtain much earlier
If a player was willing to spend real money they can obviously obtain one much earlier
If a player was able to play the market correctly they can obviously obtain one much earlier

Hey most of the weapons in terms of “max stats possible” can be purchase from the TP for 3G or LESS
IF you want “extra” skins or more “unique” skins expect to pay more for it and according to today’s market you’ll have to pay a big premium. You can grind it, trade gems for it, buy gold from botters or invest/play in the market. So kitten You people, You “WANT” a better skin, you guys don’t “NEED” one.

I can buy a second hand 1992 accord for $500, but if i want a 2013 BMW M5 s well i would be paying roughly 90-95k… do the math. I agree that yes you get a big speed difference in both cars but its not like a 1992 accord isn’t gonna get you around just as well. I mean you ain’t driving legally if you’re doing 80 where it say’s 25

Be fair if they make the precursor recipe 300-400G lol

I mean the idiots who want precursor to have recipe’s biggest concern is the RNG system. Well give them a stable recipe but make it 400g lol, Anet would already satisfy half of their concerns. If they were actually reasonable they wouldn’t complain about that after. By the current item standards A precursor at 300g-400g is pretty reasonable, i mean come on lodestones and some T6 mats cost loads of gold lol

Wow this is just stupid. Might as well add a weapon call “anet gift” instead of making legendary easier

It’s been 3 months now, or at least close enough there. If there are at least 10 players who’s gotten a legendary in a legit way then Anet is going to keep the system as is.
I have no doubt that at least 10 players in the entire game grinded almost all their mats and gold and I am excluding those who even played the market, play 10 hours a day, etc etc.

Extra 0.1: hey if you want awesome skins base on dungeon grinds go do dungeons lol
They have a kitten load of dungeon gear with the same stats as a legendary, stop complaining start grinding lol
Extra 0.2: legendaries are “beyond” endgame achievements
A. They are not necessary to obtain, stats are the same and they don’t give you access to any extra maps
B. legendaries are consider no more than a acheivement in the achievement tab to Anet, time for you to understand that.
C. I can’t honesty find any real “skillful” skills needed in pve except for jump quest so… Gtfo? If you don’t wanna grind in a “grind game” time for you to move on.
C2. Yes guildwars 2 is a “grindfest” and what do you do in a grindfest? You grind.

I attempted to craft “Gift of Twilight” but fail to do so because my “sigil of earth” and “sigil of leeching” does not show up on mystic forge.

Anyone that can help will be greatly appreciated.

1. Exclusive, being very difficult to get or very annoying to get has nothing to do with exclusive lol. In no sense is legendary “exclusive”, just because you fail to find your own way to obtain a item. Player have over 5 VERY different options to get a precursor alone. If you choose to use a word to define the process of getting a legendary, use another word. Obviously you fail to understand the English term “Exclusive”.
2. “You’re okay with the mind numbing boring grind to get a precursor?” Lol a Legendary is achievement in which proves a player’s dedication. He or She will surely have to work “EXTRA” hard, grinding in the game, playing the market constantly or even a few extra hours a day at work to make money to purchase gold from botters or A-net gem transfers. I am not happy about the numbing boring grind to get a precursor, but I sure do appreciate the idea of having to walk those extra steps to get one.
3. Live with it already, if you find it too difficult of “boring” to do, you should be aiming for another item. Players have proved it can be obtain through options of “Real-money-spending”, “grinding”, “market playing” and “player intelligence”. Obviously it proves to A-net that there are few, but at least some that can obtain it through the most difficult ways which to them means the current way to obtain a “LEGENDARY” is totally okay.

Reality check: You sound like the kind that hates people for having finish college and choosing a more “money making major” to make more money than you. Being a doctor, lawyer, businessman wasn’t exclusive to them, You had a choice lol. It’s not their fault you “choose” a kitten job to make less than them.

What you said is totally kitten lol Your points are totally invalid and deserves to be kicked off a bridge or something :P

Consider gettin 1-2million karma, 500 dungeons tokens and 500 badge of honor.
Finishing that up usually gets a “smart” player roughly 200-300g. Farming the other mats can prove to be possible if you also uilitize other parts of the game such as “market play” and gold farming.
Just because players consider farming orr to be the only quick way to make gold and karma does not mean that it was design for a player to make both at the same time

fellyn.5083:

Why are people so against creating a better way to get precursors? I don’t get it. It can only make the game better.

Put it this way. If there was a way to win the lottery, surefire, every single time you tried. Would you turn it down? Or would continue doing it the way it currently is where it’s just that…a lottery. And the lucky win, only?

I know which option I’d choose.

If everyone was winning the lottery. A slice of bread will be priced at 1Million dollars. Germany printed money after their defeat Ww1. Find out what happens on wiki.

I wish someone would understand the fact that a “legendary” in Anet’s point of view is no more than a achievement on your character achievement list. Such a achievement is “EXPECTED” to be one of the last things that a player will accomplish. IF you haven’t finish 98% of those achievements, who are you to complain about a legendary? I am 100% sure that if a player leaves legendary items as his or her Last achievement finishing everything they can do first, he/she will have at least 90% of those items and materials needed by then.

Some of these people are truly kitten

1. Precursors are made view differently at different stages of the game. 1 week of game opening = 10g? well that seems pretty obvious to me. I don’t know where some of your heads are but apparently they’re so far up your kitten that you fail to understand concept of value for the popular item. I am 100% sure that “yahoo.com” and “google.com” as a domain was purchased at a much lower price than it’s worth today. I am also 100% sure a bottle of soda was purchase for 75cents in 1990s and currently cost average $1.75. Inflation and appreciation of value changes over time. Suck it up.

2. If someone threw a punch at mystic forge and got a precursor because he was lucky why the hell should you complain. A 18year-old southern male won a 1.8billion dollar megamillion lottery jackpot should you go to him and cry about it? Live with it, he’s lucky and your luck is kitten.

3. People will always complain about other people’s luck, other people’s skills, other people’s legit or unlegit way to get items you want but you can’t have. The day you get your legendary done, you will most likely not even bother to check this thread anymore. If you yourself isn’t going to ULTRA-grind, pay gold-sellers OR anet in real money in exchange for gold or even play the market to obtain an item you want bad enough to cry days on about it, you don’t deserve to have one.

4.Some of you continue to cry about people cheating the system by obtaining it early through a process in which Anet was not aware of, It’s their problem with Anet not your’s. Half of the population would have very well exploit any of the possible shortcuts to obtain a item they want this bad.

5. The early bird gets the worm, it’s a saying that applies to nearly all concept in life.
You had the chance to grind 10g on the very first day of Gw2 release and purchase one or even two on the Trading post but you fail to take advantage of the early market and it’s ignorant players. Now you pay the price. Don’t blame players who took learned from their mistakes in another game or even educated in economics which are classes both colleges and highschools offers. Check your notes, I am 100% sure economy 101 teaches inflation and values of goods.

6.This is Gw2 not Gw1. And for sure it ain’t Aion and wow. Stop comparing the games, you want that type of game-play so bad, well companies made those games that you can move to. No one is telling you to stay and assume that gw2 will end up like gw1. IF they wanted a updated Gw1 they might as well throw you a patch instead of a brand new game with a new story and concept of play. You kitten constantly complain about things you like about Gw1 and not Gw2 and how Gw2 should be like Gw1. Well i don’t see anyone complaining about the “positive differences” between the games. Anet made Gw2 to be better than Gw1 and not Gw2 to be a updated Version of Gw1 [Trust me there’s a big difference there].

7. Legendary is an “Achievement”. Look at your character achievement screen…there isn’t 1 thing listed there that should be harder than finishing a legendary. Before you start complaining finish everything else. Anet made the game to expect players to finish it last, if you aren’t going to dedicate yourself or push yourself in anyway to skip ahead and jump at the “legendary achievement” then you shouldn’t even open your mouth a speak another kitten word.

Learn your logic, do your econ homework. Community colleges are accepting students now!

There is nothing wrong with ordinary players not deserving a legendary, it makes total sense.
1.ordinary players don’t purchase gold from botters, those players that purchase gold from 3rd party sites are consider cheaters to some or well funded in “real” money to others
2.sitting in Orr isn’t the only way to make money obviously, market players, jq grinders, gem to gold transfers etc etc. Anet never gave players only 1 option to obtain a specific item except for dungeon tokens and badges which no one has complain about yet.
3. 2 months is laugh for a “beyond” endgame item. It does not affect your stats and isn’t a requirement to obtain. Games been out for 2-3 months? If you wanna complain Stop imagining and start asking yourself what you’re doing wrong.

Ordinary players don’t purchase gold from Anet or 3rd party players, don’t hack, don’t play the market, grind very little, don’t ask for donations. There are terms to describe each one of the above players. It’s been 2 months since gw2 is out. Have you finished all your other achievements yet? Why complain when legendaries should be the last accomplishment on your achievement list. I don’t see anything else more difficult there.

Mystic Forge Attempts for Pre-Legendary
Lvl 80 Greatswords : Rare: 920 : Exotic: 88 – Precursor – 1

a “ordinary” player does not deserve one.

1. Precursor, 300-400G = 2 months of 4 hour grinding a day = totally fine
a. It’s optional
b.This game is pretty much a endgame grindfest, so if you’re not grinding then you’re not playing the game.
c.Precursor consist of 25%-30% of a legendary, so 2 months sounds a little soon to get one.

2.Legendaries are beyond endgame achievements. Stat wise you can grind dungeons, badges, crafting to get the BEST possible stats for your characters.
a. I honesty don’t know how long guildwars 2 took to make, but if they took 5 years to make you should be playing for at least a year lol. IF you’re not playing for at least a year well then you shouldn’t be complaining about not getting anything beyond endgame.
b. If people are getting precursors or legendaries before you, its because they are LUCKY, working harder than you or it’s because they are more experienced than you are. Same with reality, If you ain’t winning the lottery, working triple shifts a day or if you’re not playing the economic market then why complain about the millions other people make?

3. Legendaries again, and well game hasn’t been out for 6 months yet.
a. Game hasn’t even been out for 6 months you expect to achieve something at the highest honor without considering the amount of time you have invested.
b. Just because you spend an hour of your life grinding in a game does not quite mean that each hour grinding is equivalent in value as an hour of your reality.
Example: You are a doctor, you make $120/hr in reality. You grind in game and make 2g/hr. Well lol, it’s a game if you think its a waste of time …time to gtfo?
c. Who the kitten thinks no skills are require to make a legendary is kitten LOL The only agreeable by all type of skills you can obtain from this game is Structure pvp. If you want awesome skins base on “skills” go to spvp.
c2. The closest thing to “skills” in pve which isn’t agreeable by all but the majority because of some idiots here is grinding & Jump-quest. Both in which is either required or can help into the road of making a legendary.

4.Anet doing anything about botters and gold sellers? What?
a. Inflation is obvious to every game, just because you see precursors at 70g or even 10g a month ago does not mean that they were going to stay. Looking at the housing market, I live in san francisco and Housing from 99 to 06 went from average 200k – 800k. lmao Thats a 4x increase in “REAL money”
b. Precursors at 300g is price set BY THE PEOPLE and it’s market. If the market has obvious idiots to sell them at 70g, it means at the very moment he/she expects that to be the worth. Stop complaining about how much a precursor is truly worth, who are you to judge how much they are worth?

I pointed out exactly what players who reject the “precursors must be nerf in price” think.
If you’re complaining about precursors, you will always be complaining about it until you get one.
Anet made the game already, hardcore or even Lucky players have made precursors and even legendaries, WTF are you doing?. Why should anet stick a middle-finger to players who proved legndaries possible with the current market just to make you guys who cry and complain to wipe your tears.
MAN up

Extra:
Anet = government
Hardcore players = hardworking businessmen
Market players = Investors
Lucky players = lottery winners
Botters = druglords
You guys = ________ [you decide]

only thing I see left is “whiners”

same kitten happen to me, ran this 3 times again and again WTF?

Awesome that’s what i was missing thanks guys! but now i have another question wth do i do with these legendary item makers? o.o

all check it out thanks guys!

but how can it be in chantry of secrets if it shows 100% ?

So basically i finish all the maps and i triple check them for 100% on all of them
WvW, Pvp, Pve, Even the one where you need to by a stone from a Karma vendor but not Dungeons. I saw a screenshot of a guy with 100% completion but his Poi was 716/716 while mine is 716/717
Is there a glitch that is hiding the last poi? Is there a map that’s super secret?
