Guild Wars 2

mostly insignias and inscriptions.

I have most my toons with 10 slot bags. 1 has 1 -12 slot. can’t afford large bags yet and my highest toon is 59

huge patch November 15th

P.S. sorry for earlier post… I get grumpy when I read the forums… I really need to stop

New LFG mechanics in the works. hopefully in Nov. (crossing fingers) Don’t quote me on that pure speculation there.

But still give it a chance to kick in

Adine.2184:

hang on just to be clear , you have bought the max storage from the Gem store and have filled all your bank storage correct? Yes

On a similar note do you have maxed bags on all your characters? No. don’t have the gold to pull that off yet

OP – well thank you for posting your views and thoughts. Been nice …. so long. You will not be missed.

Another person that doesn’t get it nor desires to try.

Within the first 3 week of playing the game I already expanded my bank cap. to its maximum amount. Now I struggle keeping just a few slots open for when I want to transfer items between my toons.

Could we get even more bank capacity added.

or could you make it where the insignias and inscriptions could be stored like the components are stored. Since that is really my biggest storage issue

snowden drifts heart vendors. Also notices the same items in other zones of the same level for human/silvari

Guild Wars 2 Hub has an article on the patch as well. No new info but shows it is legit.

Been through it before… I posted another of my blog entries in GD and it got moved here. So this time went straight to this forum

op has it right

Anet has said many times that would defeat their goal of having the dragons and their minions the only bad guys

Well I see your arguments to a point. The main issue I get from your response, which I thank you for by the way, is the community issue.

Yes I do see that, but I feel it is due to WoW that this lack of community exists. Even though I noted you feel otherwise.

I was in MUDs and EQ. Community in those had a different dynamic to them. Especial the MUDs. In them the community was something that had to develop over time. By this I mean several months. I got into a really great friendship in the MUD I played to the point that my character married her character the last night she played the game to head off to collage.

The community is still in it infancy within this game to a large degree. Yes there are guilds that have come form other games and many are growing. Still there is community developing.

Yes at times when a large open event takes place people at this time do seem faceless to a degree, but that is normal. Not only in MUDs, MMORPGs, but also in real life.

Virtual worlds are just that. Worlds. Within all “worlds” be they in a game on a computer, your job, church, synagogue, neighborhood. For the longest time people are faceless for sometime. Then slowly they start to get a face. You start to notice them. You wave, say hi, maybe even become friends.

The standardized loot system I feel is a huge plus toward helping the community grow. It removed another of the many elements that were introduced in EQ, and then increased upon in WoW, that was helping to fracture communities into elites and noobies. Clicks have always been a problem as are gangs in many places within society. WoW and its clones encouraged this negative behavior.

I still feel and believe that GW2 is a step in the right direction. It is a renaissance to those games before WoW. I have read more then once people saying they feel they back to a time before WoW in this game. Usually in a negative fashion, but also in the positive.

All we can do is continue within this virtual world and see how it develops and grows. Remember it was only been out for 2 months as of day for the headstarters. Relationships, even in jobs take longer then that.

I invite you to read my article on the history of MMORPGs and video games. It is meant to inform especially for those that have come become MMO players after World of Warcraft.

It afected mine multiple times to th point i switched server due to it

I have played all the races. I prefer the Norn as well

OOO Wow… Ok. Lets sell a level 1 item that is worth 25 copper for 2 silver so i (the seller) can make new players to the game not want to use the TP at all and lose buyers.

Why don’t we sell the item for what it is really worth and not be greedy so and so’s.

simply rule of thumb

0-5 no higher then 50 copper (whites and blues)

6-10 no higher then 1 silver

so forth and so on. then adding 10 to 20% per quality of the item.
EXAMPLE: masterworks (green) would get 1x 10 to 20%

yellow 2x 10 to 20%

if you price an item at level 15 for 2 silver and it is blue that is TOO HIGH and deserve to be undercut

I move off a server due to seeing the same bots every day after reporting them

I feel your pain. I have been trained a few times myself. What i find great about GW2 is that due to how they have made it more teaming friendly it hasn’t been often.
I can only remember 2 times that it was done on purpose. Each time they got a surprize. I lived and killed everything

I have to disagree with your statement. If what you say were true then all items upp to level 10 would be at a silver as well. Level 2- 10 for the most part are underpriced. Another example of robbing the poor is level 11 shoulders. They go from 3 to 5 silver. Then drop each level after that til they are again under priced. This totally negates your arguement.

I have been in “MMOs” since they were MUDs though only a few years longer then you. My first run in with “grind” as a componant of the game was in WoW.
Before that it was more social oriented. I feel there was some grind in EQ, but not as heavy as in WoW.
I think you have been led astray.
This game is great as is.
doesn’t need raiding or grind.
Sorry but I have to disagee with you

Too much thought is going into folks replies here. Simple: they could have come from the kodan. It’s a possibility of a fictional story about a fictional race. Just go with it and go bear form at level 30

I made a Norn thief and my made him the shortest you can be and the skinniest body type, which was still big, but on well

Marlafox.8715:

Spirit of the Orca we can have an underwater form that looks like Moby Lick from street sharks.

Dang you beat me to it. I was gong to say Killer Whale also

Well I have been on Eredon Terrace since about the second week after the official start of the game. Been playing since head start.

Well Today i moved my wife’s and my accounts to a new server today, and boy what a difference.

The main reason I moved was due all the bots that were all over ruining some of the stuff I do. My daily chest run for example.

Bot make going into some places a boring cake walk as they stream back and forth killing the NPCs as they spawn.

The second reason was due to WvW. Now honestly this really wasn’t for me, but for my middle son who runs a small guild and likes to do sPvP and WvW.

The server I moved to, even though I liked it that bot were not as present as they were on the previous server, but my son didn’t like it. I was able to get into the eternal battle grounds without a que.

You see he is look for one that does have one even though it may be a short que. This tells him that sPvP is active on that server.

As for ET’s WvW it didn’t exist. But on the server I went to there was action taking place.

Anyone have any servers that seem to have a good sPvP and WvW population that isn’t full?

PM me if you would with any suggestions.

Thanks ahead of time

Well thanking Andy was really a bad idea. First i got insulted that you though my idea sucked, but here is the thing.

His way you get just the basic materials and not many of them at that.

My way get your more material as well as upgraded material and special items. For example if you scarp and item with agony on it you get a good chance to get the item that applies that to the weapon. You scrap armor you might get the rune.

His way you will never get those items.

So go ahead do it his way. It sucks but go ahead

get salvage kits and scrap most items. Try to sell them on the trading post but if there are too many or the prices are too cheap. SCRAP IT!!!

I have to say that the pricing of items has gotten better. Even though there is still need for improvement in folks way of thinking.

I mean really 1 silver for a level 1 item??? Folks only get 76 copper at the start.

Use your brain and stop trying to steal from the newbies.

You will make more money if your start to price all items at the pricing they should be priced at

Standard items 0-5 shouldn’t exceed 50 copper.

Items 6-10 shouldn’t be any higher then 1 silver

11-15 shouldn’t get over 1 silver 50 copper for standard items. Now masterworks should be a bit higher.

This continues all the way into the 80s with exotics being several gold. That is where you will make your money. At the end game not the newbie areas

Breneman.6380:

Why Anet isn’t spending the time fixing bugs instead of focusing on a Halloween event on Oct. 22nd. Also why attention isn’t being focused elsewhere like the horrible DR system that is in place for loot/karma? While I’m glad the community is excited for the Halloween event and content, personally I’d rather have an improved game over an event that lasts for 9 days.

Don’t get me wrong I love this game and am spending a great amount of time on it but I’d just like GW2 to be cleaned up as soon as possible. THEN we can have these great events worry free from annoying bugs.

Any thoughts? Or am I just being cynical?

Come tomorrow or later on this evening they will also launch new content. Most likely within this patch well also be several fixes. From my past experiences when ever there is new content there is also a lot of fixes as well as new issues.

time to switch guilds

My main uses both the gs and the hammer. I open the attack with the gs using the chrge then do hundred blade. I then swap over to the hammer and use all skill. If target still standing go back to gs and do hundred blades again and return to hammer once again

Usually feel the hammer is doing more damage.

Since I have a bear-like attitude in RL. I think it is great. I have always wanted to play a were-bear and now I can

This is my article on why World of Warcraft launched panda when they did.
http://www.mmorpg.com/blogs/swordmark45/082012/23638_Guild-Wars-2-Why-is-WoW-launching-an-expansion-a-month-after-GW2-goes-live

higher level characters even though officially “lowered” by the game will get and most likely keep aggro in lower areas of the game

Psichi.1734:

Will the Guild Wars 2 Expansion Packs Cost Real Money Or They Will Be a Free Update Or You Will Need To Buy It With Gems?

Anet has already stated that any officially labeled “expansion packs” will have to be purchased.

This is how they make up for no monthly subs

For wvw if you also learn the staff you can put up a barrier that can block a gate entrance & won’t let other team in a bit longer

cause they can’t handle that a game can be good without the type of content they demand a game to have.

Please note I said game not MMO.

This is the first MMO in a long time that I feel truly deserves the title once again

52 and happy to be here

Let me put my response this way.

I have a lot of alts. I have for example 4 rangers. Each different. One is a Norn.
I would suggest. Don’t delete if you have to invest in a haracter slot. 800 gems for 1

The first kit up to level 8 or 10
the 2nd kit up to 15.
you should have enough cash by this time to be using the 3rd kit. The last two kits are more for about level 60 form what I am seeing for my cash flow for upgrades and such.

Could be a bit sooner then 60. I wouldn’t know. My highest toon should hit 50 tomorrow.

Savaric.2143:

Sometimes I feel like my Norn Warrior is just a prick, ya know? He runs around all the time saying things like “my strength increases!” and “kill him!”. I’m thinking about having a talk with him and asking him to tone it down a bit. I mean he lives in this beautiful mountainous area amongst beautiful women who spend most of their time drunk. What could he possibly be so upset about?? Deep down inside I know he has a good heart and maybe, just maybe I can talk him into showing his softer side…..

I went with charm for my norn guardian. I found it funny when I finished the hare quest the guy NPC said the female NPC with him had a crush on my toon.

There is your soft side

Well my first norn was a warrior. Then I made a necro. Then a Ranger. Then a female ranger (long story). Then I made a guardian. These are all norn btw.

My highest toon is the warrior.

So no they are not all guardians.

seems just fine to me. I really haven’t noticed any real difference in the game play. Just have to hit a skill in a different spot then before.

hhhmmmm. Big shadow creature in swamp. Saw 40 people including myself fighting. Saw folks rez others. Did that too a couple of time. Teamed with the range attackers to hit the mouth.

Dang. I guess i was mistaken to think I was raiding then.

hhhhmmmm.

OH WAIT!!!!! I was raiding.

Game has raiding already. Close the thread

Yes. Those multiboxing now appear to be bots and gold farmers. Which is against the policies of the game.

Personally I actually like the style of play the game has now. I never liked the henchmen model and am very glad to see t gone. Even though you do see elements of it left in your personal stories.

Torgrim.3642:

Why not devide the completion in two catagories

1: Tyria Compleation is all the PVE zones 100%
2: World completion all PVE zones and all PvP zone 100% which means the whole gameworld and all it zones and activites)

World completion for me is just as the name suggest I’ve experienced everything the game has to offer atleast once.

But I guess people like OP will whine about that ones aswell.

I have already stated this is the best option.
I also feel that I have not whined in this thread. I am not hungry for any cheese. So that settles it. Not whinning.

Phaedryn.3698:

Krosslite.1950:

I find it unfair to those like myself that are being excluded from prizes they offer us just because we find no enjoyment in gaming in this fashion.

I agree, I should not be excluded from prizes because I do not want to PvE.

Oh, wait. I’m sure that isn’t what you meant…

yes it is

beren.6048:

First you censor with the word kitten? Man you guys are so funny Legendary weapons only useable in PVE for the true PVP haters perhaps? Or, peace zones around the PVE objectives. Or, NPC to debuff campers.

But anyway, not the biggest issue imo. The point of a legendary weapons is to slap your ‘enemies’ (human) with it right? And have you seen the other requirements? World completion is the least of your problems. Also, why should a PVPer do all the PVE effort?

Actually they are just shinnies to show off. Their stats are just slightly better then other items of the same merit

made an edit…see my last post above to read the chances, Sorry about that

Corian.4068:

People need to stop being afraid of PvP. Yes, PvP isn’t designed with your victory in mind, but since when has that ever meant it’s not fun? Don’t you have fun playing a game of pickup basketball whether you win or lose? Why is that different for MMO PvP?

People approach MMO PvP like someone’s going to come and beat up their families just because they’ve entered a PvP zone. Why the fear?

The hilarious thing is, the same people have NO fear of dying repeatedly in dungeons. Why is dying repeatedly in PvP any worse?

I don’t have a fear. I just have lost the desire to do WvW. It is not that different then DAoC per my understanding. The challenge to strategies quickly and move even faster just doesn’t interest me. As it did when I played that.

It is the quickness that takes it toll over time. Especially when it is on going for several hours.

Now this is not to say this doesn’t happen in PvE, but with that arena you can take short rest-bits to collect yourself before you move on toward your goal.

It is the fact that there are struggles in PvE and more of them as was pointed out by Falcon Night. Means that those that PvE actually do more then those that exclusively PvP.

Now those that PvP and PvE admittedly do more then those that just PvE.

I will not argue that they could have earned a better shinny due to this. That does not mean that those that PvE only should be excluded from shinnies as some have stated should take place.

My point of the post is simply to state that there is an issue with the system as it stands right now.

I can do my PvE dailies quickly.

It has been said that the PvP points can be done quickly.

This is understood by all.

My point of the post is that those that do not wish to do something shouldn’t be excluded from the monthly rewards.

That said. Those that only PvP should get a reward if the do not PvE.

PvE should get a rewarded if they don’t wish to PvP

Keep the system as is for those that wish to do both.

EDIT: sorry for the edit got interrupted in RL

I have no dificulty doing PvP.
Again as mention in my first post. I am rather good at it.
I just no longer wish to do it. It not fun.
