Its just a slap in the face. Give us a chance of getting (in this order) money – dungeon potions – few tokens – t6 mats – shard – core – lodestone
But just remove the blue stuff <3
So you want them to remove Fine items but keep the potions. “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” definitely applies here. Potions and tonics are one of the trashiest thing to drop from any dungeon chest. Then there are slices of garlic bread.
I earned 9600 tokens last time i counted so I killed lupi at least 160 times. I’ve gotten 2 rares and rest blues, greens, and …. whites. That is including lupi and the chest
but you’ve gotten an exotic from slapping a random deer while strolling through the forest right?
Each dungeon run gives you 70% of your current level which means Arah would be a bad choice since it takes so long. Don’t forget the +10%(I think there is also a +15%) from food.
Sleek?! If I recall correctly it was more like ‘full of spikes sticking out from everywhere’. I don’t miss profession specific sets but I miss having more variety, especially medium without a long coat. I expect this to mostly work itself out with age. Each of the expansions added a number of sets.
It isn’t necessarily good to have each class pigeon holed into specific looks/themes. Options to allow people to pair them up that way should still exist.
That one is pretty bad. I’ve never been able to complete it without getting at least one respawn in the middle of the Vet fight. Since I know Im going to fight them all, I don’t pull, I just run past the pillar now and hope for miracles during the Vet fight.
That end of the zone is pretty abandoned now as well.
However, you will be assured by many than the respawn is “working as intended” or “needs to be faster”
It is(in general)! However, in this case there shouldn’t be 3~5 enemies in such close proximity in a tight space to begin with. That cave doesn’t need a veteran plus 3 normals.
Also in need of congrats is Anet for getting the Champ Lt Kholer Encouter Right in every way you could of. (Apart from pulling through walls)
Depending on the wall you are referring to that might not be his fault! One of walls is only partially there. You can walk into the wall itself as well. That is a problem with the wall rather than Kholer.
There are two different instanced areas for The Great Lodge. Did you go into both? One is near the entrance and the other is down at the bottom pass the tooth.
Curious … just came across the event “Kill the vengeful Son of Svanir” event in Dredgehaunt Cliffs. This is definitely not related to Final Rest but it seemed to have spawn as I was running past.
The interesting bit it that it says “You’ll pay for what you did to Steag!” and what I did to Steag was kill him in the previous personal story step. That story step is only for people who joined the Priory. Has anyone encountered this event without joining the Priory and I guess without having anyone else who did join the Priory being around? wiki has no mention of the event or the Veteran Svanir Champion that you have to kill. I didn’t fight it and then it seem to have despawned after a while.
I am wondering if there are actually boss type monsters which only spawn in certain places for people who have joined a specific Order.
I have NEVER seen this event and i joined the Vigil… But im not that much up in degdehaunt cliffs… I have 100% up there though
Just ran into it again. This time also on a Priory member. The location it the tree just north of where http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mokooki is standing.
I’ve always thought the gem cost for bank space (and extra bag slots since they’re not account wide) was too high. They should be about half of what they are and more people would probably buy them.
Personally, I think the guild bank limitations are sufficient. It takes a lot of influence to go beyond 50 slots (not sure how much it comes out to in gold). It’s taken my bf and I about 2 months to unlock the second tier of bank storage for our personal guild bank and that’s a fraction of what it’s going to take to unlock the last tier. “Time is money” certainly applies when it comes to unlocking guild perks with only 1-2 people gaining influence.
There would be a very big problem if the a 50% price reduction doesn’t increase sales of an item.
Upgrade Influence Gold Gold/slot Events Logins
Stash 3000 6g 12s 150 30 days

Number of events assumes every event is done by 2 people in the same guild. For a single person guild it would take 10 times as many events.
Logins assumes 2 people with 5 characters each. It also assumes neither actually play the game. They just log into each character once per day. For a single person guild the number of days is doubled.
The staff of Guild Wars 2 should repair this problem. That would really help the swiftness of selling items on the Black Lion Trading post!
That would be unlikely. The game already rate limits how fast you can sell. If you attempt to sell too many at once you get an “error attempting to sell”.
It looks like it would be more profitable to sell the salvage items that can be salvaged into Hard Leather and use the money to buy the Hard Leather. O_o
I guess it’s because when salvaging you could get 2-3 of the leather.
Promoting leather is also not worth it. For the cost of the 5 Piles of Crystalline Dust you can get 106 Hardened Leather Square. Promoting is more likely to get you 15-30 only.
so i have more than 100g profit if i sell it at 600g? this sounds good as i farm skill points easily with an alt and make ac tokens with the main. a 30~ golds listing fee isnt a problem.
if its correct (be patient if i misunderstood), im still wondering why a player would buy the gs at 600 when he can easily craft it. this is my main doubt, if you tell me that there are those players ill have all my ideas cleared.
I have no definitive answer but from browsing the forum I can tell you that there are people who think leveling is slow/difficult so 50 skill points could seem like a lot. Then there are the people who do not like dungeons or maybe they just don’t like AC in particular. If both of the above happens to apply for the same person then buying might be easier.
Edit: 600g was the lowest sell price before but its now 578g. Highest buy order is 420g … that person obviously had enough to buy all the ingredients and still have money leftover.

It’s already blue. Water Blast, Healing Rain, Geyser, Cleansing Wave, Cone of Cold and Water Trident are all blue.
I have never had any of the people I play with run out of my healing spells. They know what sort of skills the enemies will use and what they look like. I have had people run out because … well they were dying so they were running away from the source of potential death. Those were just poorly timed Healing Rains by me.
Removing the circles and adding heavier effects would be a terrible idea. This game is not in need of more enemy obscuring effects.
TL;DR Don’t do this unless you would be okay with potentially losing a minimum of 23g.
There is no way to tell. That feature was planned but got removed during the beta. I don’t think it was every implemented even in the beta.
Looking at current prices. If you just bought everything right now without using buy orders and assuming you consider 50 skill points and 500 Ascalonian Tears to be worth 0c then the prices are.
589×250 Ori Ingot
147×250 cured Hardened Leather

The listing fees for the above range from around 23g to 31g. What this means is that even if you sold it at cost(again assuming you think skill points and Ascalonian Tears are worthless) you STILL need to prepare for a lost of around 23g.
Food ingredient constantly double or triple in price. When you know what the “normal” price of an item should be, stock up. Same thing for lotus root, black pepperkorn, orrian truffles etc etc etc. All of the items you use. Actually, with the 28 jan update it’s quite logical snow truffles went up in price, as ppl now spend less time in frostgorge sound (and more time in Orr, which is why Orrian truffles went down).
Please don’t try logic when its far easier to cry “market manipulation”.
On a serious note everyone should try your approach before running into the forums and jumping onto the marketmanipulatorhunt.
Oh, I am with you 100% on this, but this was market manipulation. Check gw2spidy, all the stock was bought up within an hour.
Are you aware of how spidy works? It is not real time. It doesn’t see all changes. More importantly are we even looking at the same GW2Spidy? http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/12144 doesn’t have any listing volume data past Jan 24. For the data it DOES have each data point covers an 8 hour time span. How can you say anything happened within an hour when the data only tells you what happened within an 8 hour period?
Seems to me that infusable rings and amulets are the best use of Laurels, until all your chars have a full set, why waste Laurels on harvesting tools?
I wished ANet agreed with you. Unfortunately they agreed with me instead and decided the best thing you can get with laurels are endless cat tonic, cat mini and dog mini. Only 245 laurels left …
When does this increase in difficulty from the change start? What level range/map? I haven’t actually experienced any change but I’ve been leveling my glass cannon elementalist(lv56) before and after the update. I can’t imagine any situation where my elementalist would handle by my more defensive warrior(lv80) can not.
That is both ends of the extremes so maybe there are issues in the middle.
Edit: Actually I CAN imagine one situation.
Attempting to solo the Ascalonian Settlement event in Gendarran Fields. My warrior doesn’t have enough DPS to deal with the centaur spawn rate. My elementalist barely has enough but this has been the case before the patch as well.
The level of a particular area isn’t necessarily tied to the creature level, but we do try to keep them within +/-1 level of the area. But, being human, we make mistakes, so any spots you see with a mismatch are good to call out.
Just making sure if I should be making note of those.
Bugs/tickets for things which are not bugs is something I hate, on either end.
dude you need to read some of the Anet posts. The Level Cap has a potential to be raised in later Expansions. Only the paid expansions when they come out have the potential of being raised lvl cap. I am too lazy to go find that post.
It was in the latest(?) AMA on Reddit. The statement was made by Mike O’Brian. They’ve also mentioned it before release but finding that is going to take a lot of digging.
As for me DON’T CARE. Power creep will happen with or without level cap judging by GW1 and leveling is easy enough. Increasing the level cap in GW2 is going to have a few awkward moments though, I have 200+ skill points. Game knows how many level of exp that is worth so why can’t I just buy the levels with skill points? Alternatively, I’ve spent all my skill points so how was I supposed to know it would be possible to buy levels with them?
They might just scale everyone up to the level of the zone like Southsun when it was first released and Eye of the North.
I just checked this, and I think I’d need to know exactly where you saw this level gap. When I looked, the ice cavern all the way to the Sorrow’s Furnace entrance was sidekicking me to L51.
I’ve been wondering about this for a while now but is the scaling supposed to be consistent across the game world (assuming a lv80)? I was killing a “Veteran” the other day for the daily but the problem is that it was 6 levels below me. The rest of the creatures around the area were 3-6 levels below. There are also areas where the mob is is always 3+ levels above you as well.
Cave in southwest of Gendarran Fields west of Traveler’s Dale has miners who keep getting killed by bats/spiders. Further north in The Bloodfields also in Gendarran Fields there are Seraph who you are meant to res for the heart.
Armor would be standard issue. There would be no “skins”. No shiny of any kind. Your only reward would be the “fun” of killing for an achievement. There would be no monetary gain.
Probably not because of the silly restriction mentioned above. Even in FPSs where there really is no loot there is usually still some sort of point(currency) system for customization or at least unlock some additional avatars.
For me it would mainly be the stacks. More uses mean less inventory space used.
Also since it is of better quality, I assume it either means that you have a better chance of harvesting rare items (such as dyes for gathering or jewels for mining) or a better chance of obtaining multiple gathers per swing. Or both.
The description implies both but people still seem to have “higher chance” confused with “guaranteed”.
Thanks for the clarification, Mr. Vaughn. Kind of a shame really since I enjoy running Fractals a lot more compared to the original dungeons; but from a technical standpoint, I can see how it’s not considered a “dungeon”. Maybe we should stop talking about Fractals in the Dungeon forum, and talk more about Mr. Hrouda’s Norn-like stature . LOL!
Jokes aside, I guess it’s not much of a big deal since it’s only five paths to complete over the course of 28 days, as opposed to a 100 events (which still isn’t hard but that’s another thread to talk about all together). Since I run dungeons a lot with my guild, getting that done shouldn’t take long.
No verbal hostilities needed from both sides of the argument. All I wanted was just a simple answer. Thanks again!
Hmm John Smith mentioned the Daedalus Project in another thread so I was reading a bit about it. Your post made me wonder if Mr. Hrouda actually plays a giant Norn or an teensy Asura.
Some of the wording is a bit odd, for example it says to complete a daily category (which admittedly seems like a small requirement for a monthly), so one would logically conclude that it means one of the five subsections of a daily, but that’s not actually the case. You have to finish an entire daily, so the monthly requirement is to complete 5 dailies, which makes more sense despite not really being what it says.
I was thinking the same thing earlier while doing today’s daily but if you look at the Achievements window it becomes fairly obvious how “category” got in there. The monthly does in fact say what it means. The categories are “Daily”, “Daily PvP”, “Monthly”, “Monthly PvP”, etc.
I saw this on my character select screen yesterday. Based on what was happening with my connection yesterday(bad weather + WiMax connection = T_T) and the screenshot in the other threa I am guessing the reason it shows this is because the client has to ask the server for your display name. It already knows your email since that is what you used to log in. If that is the case you won’t ever see it for other people because if the server is going to send anything it will send the display name.
Quality Maintenance Oil like all the other Maintenance Oils give Precision not Power. The Quality Maintenance Oil does have a display bug that says it gives Power. If you want the Power equivalent of Quality Maintenance Oil you need a Hardened Sharpening Stone.
Edit: Sigil of Intelligence should not work against the test dummies in LA at all. They are objects which means they are immune to both crits and conditions. I don’t have a Sigil of Intelligence to test on them I’ve tested them using both a thief with 70% crit and an elementalist using Arcane Power(next 5 hits will crit).
The few times I’ve died right at the end of a boss (I take full responsibility for my laziness hehe) I was not able to loot him, I’ve noticed this happen every time.
Are all end bosses supposed to drop loot? Maybe a high chance but certainly doesn’t seem like 100% and that is without any dying involved.
When we finally beat it, we were extremely happy of course. And even happier when the NPC didn’t bug at the end of the dungeon (happened a few days ago to me!). So yeah, finally done with the dungeon master title. Phew………
Wish I could say the same. It was more like ‘meh so I cheated my way through a dungeon run with food and potion’. An empty victory.
Solution without ditching the whole boss is to make the healing on Simin A LOT less. That’s all you need to do. I’m baffled that you think this dungeon is well designed or fun for a team. Only highly organised guild teams can do this, and even then they have to PICK certain players over others because the DPS/GEAR check is extremely high…
The healing wouldn’t be a big issue if the sparks behaved reasonably. They switch targets way too easily and have a tendency of walking between the cages rather than into them. You can try to walk over the cages to have them follow but that isn’t reliable. The game seems to expect people to have fine grained control over the sparks’ movements but gives no tools for doing so.
I also feel that some of the storymode bosses are harder than half the explorable bosses. Make 3 difficulty levels.
Before any of that the current dungeons need to be working nearly perfectly. None of this ‘boss fails to spawn’ nonsense and other completely broken to the point where the only fix is to restart the whole thing.
There is something I am confused about with this. The 4/5 thing and “3 people DPS her while the other 2 run sparks” sounds like you have both Simin and the sparks on the screen at the same time but when I did it that was never true. Either you had Simin and not spark or you had sparks and Simin is stealth.
The issue is not how hard or easy it is to do. Having these daily achievements alters the way people play and not necessarily for the better.
Except that the old Dailies did the same thing. It takes a very long time to get 60 kills in WvW. Most NPCs you’ll be killing are veterans, and you should no be attacking wildlife. Getting player kills can be very difficult unless you catch someone overextending, and that’s not gonna happen 60 times in an hour. I have to drop out of WvW to get this achievement in a reasonable amount of time.
Then you have the “15 unique creature kills” which doesn’t work in WvW, either (unless, of course, you are attacking wildlife). Heck, a good chunk of the maps don’t have 15 unique creatures in it (Orr is a primary example, but you see this in other maps, too).
If you’re whole argument is “These new dailies get in the way of normal gameplay”, it falls flat because the old dailies weren’t any better.
Choosing NOT to fight things that would give you credit isn’t quite the same. Funny how you use WvW as an example. I have a friend who jumps into WvW just to be able to finish the old dailies faster.
“New dailies are just as bad as the old ones” isn’t a great excuse for the change.
