It’d be nice if we were given some time frame. I could’ve gone to work for half a day.
I’m 2/3 of the way to the daily cap, and I support the cap.
I believe the purpose of the cap is to give the achievements leaderboards more meaning. Currently, the top 100 are just players who have done more daily achievements than the rest. With the cap in place, the leaderboard will eventually reflect who has actually done more in the game.

the no wp is tricky
what happen if u fall in the lava?
You take the consequences of falling in the lava.
I agree 100%!
Please Anet, listen to your hardcore player base. We are the ones who have been here since the start and will keep playing until GW3 comes out (unless you don’t give us a reason to stay) .
Has there been any word about ascended mats being turned into a currency sometime soon? I have 4 bank tabs of these and now I’m just deleting them.
While on the subject, is there any way to turn pvp mats into profit? I’m out of consumable tokens so dyes are not an option.
Ahh, thank you!
Any idea for what I could do then? I have a stack of chests and no salvage kits and no glory.
Hmm ok I guess mats being deleted makes sense then…
What about chests though? Those could still contain skins after the patch…
Do you have a source please?
What’s going to happen to PvP materials and PvP reward chests on April 15th?
Anet please throw us a bone here because some of us have spent the last year and a half accumulating these items.
As an AP kitten, I think the AP cap is a great idea. However, the daily cap feels a little low as I’m already almost there after just 1 year.
Remove achiev : Six Minutes to Knightfall
in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath

One question that I have to ask everyone is what is the difference between ignoring the achievement and removing it? In either case it isn’t being completed so it’s not really affecting anyone. You can also think that it’s just one achievement missed regardless as to whether it was removed or not. Yes, some people got the 10 AP from it being bugged but 10 AP means little over the grand scheme of things.
It’s not about the AP, it’s about completion. Some players like myself are completionists – we like to do everything that can be done in a game. If I don’t get this achevement because it’s bugged, in the end it won’t matter that it was bugged. I will no longer be able to say that I’ve done every LS achievement in the game and I’ll stop trying to get them all in the future.
It is not like the boosters are replacing another item. If you don’t like them, just throw them away.
The problem is that in the future loot tables that would have previously given glory boosters will most likely be replaced with something else. Those of us who got the boosters as drops are being screwed because the item will be deleted…
Remove achiev : Six Minutes to Knightfall
in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath

I agree that this achievement should be changed.
It’s not possible without 150 people fully coordinated, and you can’t get that since there will always be random players on the map. IF we could create a private instance and bring in 150 people we know, then this achievement would be reasonable – but in its current state it’s not.
I’ve never missed a single living story achievement in this game and I’d be very frustrated if this broken achievement were to destroy my streak.
Nobody should be leaving over changes in the dye market… that’s just nonsense.
I believe the people who saved for 6 months to make 300g for a dye which is now going to drop to 50g will be pretty frustrated for having 5 months of progress completely wiped. Those people just might look to switch to another game where progression is safer.
I understand that Anet might have statistics of the Flame & Frost dye kits being one of the most profitable items ever released. I also understand that they have continuously tried making the same profit by creating other dye kits which were never quiet as popular. However, the decisions to re-release Flame and Frost dyes so soon after the previous re-release with no warnings will completely destroy the market for all temporarily released dyes.
The sudden and unexpected re-release has very negatively impacted two groups of players. First and foremost, there are casuals who made it a goal to save up for their favorite dye and bought them at a peak price, spending the gold it took them many months to save up. Not giving them a warning about a sudden price drop is a serious slap in the face, as they could have saved a vast majority of their gold for their next goal. Secondly, there are players who enjoy trading who have been robbed of an entire market. No traders will ever trust the dye market again due to its volatility; the time between re-releases of dyes should really be much, much longer.
This blatant destruction of an entire market begs two question:
1. If you want the dyes to remain at a price equivalent to their gem price, why not just make them account bound from the start?
2. Does the profit you make from re-releasing the dyes for 3 days outweigh the potential loss of players, or was this just a spontaneous decision that was not ran by the game’s economists?
Yeah, even I have to agree that the fight it’s self is mechanically sound. It just belongs in a Raid Instance not in the Open World where everyone’s experience can be ruined by a handful of low levels in terrible gear.
I completely agree… This fight is a perfect example of why these bosses should be instanced. On our last attempt, each lane had just one circle that failed to kill the 2nd champion. Even though we clearly explained the mechanic in chat, some pugs choose to ignore chat and just do whatever they want.
My main characters are all light armor and Flame Dye is by far best looking on light armor in my opinion. I have it on 3 characters.
The only people that might want one are the PvPers, most of them aren’t gonna farm PvE like me. So just a few might think to buy one. But they also, like me, won’t pay this price.
Pve can get legendaries for around 1500g, which they will more likely get.
I disagree with that. I think many PvEers would want the greatsaw even at its current price. In my opinion it’s the best looking greatsword in the game and I’d rather have that and be unique than have twilight like half the players in the game. If only I could afford it…
The devs announced in the livestream that all runes are going to undergo some major changes. What do you guys think will happen?
One guess I have is that Rune of Altruism will become the go to rune for boon duration.

Please help me collect data by choosing up to 10 dyes which are your favorite. After collecting enough responses, I’ll create a chart of the community’s favorite dyes.
hey i’m rooting for you guys to have a chance to earn more AP! i thought you would appreciate that.
I didn’t mean you. I actually think that making the number of points more representative of the amount of time those achievements take could be a possible solution.
Thanks for being the only one to add a valuable opinion to this thread.

I’m looking through this thread and can’t find me mentioning wanting anything for free. I love PvP, and I’m usually in top 300 tpvp leaderboards in NA, so no I don’t want anything for free. The Solo Queue achievements just take way too long because they are purely based on RNG.
We all paid for this game and we should all be allowed to voice our opinion about the changes we would like to see. No matter if someone plays to do WvW, PvP, Dungeons, RP, Casual World Exploration, or ACHIEVEMENT HUNTING. I don’t understand where the hate towards achievement hunters is coming from, but continually harassing any group of players on the forums is just uncalled for.
Anyways, thanks for derailing my thread, I’ll stop reading it now.
Since when is making a suggestion arrogant? All I said is that the Solo Queue daily is not on par with all other dailies in the game in terms of time commitment required.
I find it sad how rude the community on the forums is to the players who choose to play the game for achievements.
I’m ok with all other PvE, WvW, and PvP dailies (including TPvP wins). Solo Queue wins are 100% RNG and sometimes take up to 5 hours of frustrating games full of leavers, afk’ers, and players who are completely new to pvp (<r10). Please remove it as soon as possible.
Glad there is already a thread about this. I’m an avid achievement hunter and these new dailies are frustrating me to no end.
Solo Queue is 99% RNG, and you have to win 5 times. If you have unlucky streaks, that might take 20 matches. That’s up to 5 hours for 2 achievement points.
How about changing these achievements to:
Tier 1 – play 1 solo/team queue
Tier 2 – play 2 solo/team queue
That would make it a little more on par with all other dailies and would actually bring more people into pvp. Right now forcing people to play hours on end is alienating a lot of players from pvp and from the game as a whole.

Because everyone hated that they didn’t bring back the Halloween skins. Thus they’ve brought back the Wintersday skins to avoid a similar situation. This thread along with the “re-revert the Grenth Hood” thread are the most indisputable proof I’ve yet seen that you can never please everyone.
I LOVED that they didn’t bring back Halloween skins and made new ones. It gave me hope for the future of this game.
Is there really no efficient way to do this?
I don’t mind at all the reuse of old content – it’s actually pretty refreshing to see the improvements they make to everything and the new additions. However, if Anet wants me to keep playing, I do ask that they release new skins/achievements each year and not recycle old ones.
Yeah, I know I have 400 on all disciplines but I’ve switched them around so much that I’m not sure what characters have 400 on 4 of the disciplines.
Is there no way to find out without manually switching to every discipline on all characters?
I have many alts and I have done lots of crafting on all of them. I want to find out which of my alts has a particular discipline at 400 even though it’s not selected as one of its active crafts.
Was it a really bad design decision or was it just overlooked?
There were still nearly a million of these skins on the TP from last year, and they are getting even more overflooded.
Hundreds of people got to 50 already, I doubt that’s what it would be ranked on.
Nothing at all, don’t listen to him.
Thanks for the reply!
I’m particularly looking for a new build that would take advantage of the signet healing skill though.
Does anyone have a link for a good TPvP build for mesmer after the Dec 10th patch?
I got a build from a friend and it’s good but he uses it in WvW and it uses too much stealth to be viable in TPvP. Do any of the TPvP meta builds rely on stealth?
We have tried 5 times on fotm 38 and when she has 25% health, Horrik teleports up while she has 10 stacks left so we can’t kill her. This is the most frustrating thing ever.
All I want is to see the achievement leaderboard for my guild…
https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/na/wvwbronze
Even with our extremely low WvW numbers (zero queues), Darkhaven is securing its place in the Bronze League’s top 3 servers. Want to come experience the small-scale but very organized WvW? Transfer to Darkhaven today!
Bump – we are recruiting again!
I wrote a script that scrapes the leaderboards page for a guild and sorts members by how many days it has been since the last time they earned an achievement point. I’ve been doing this for some time, but today I did it for another guild on my server and it reminded me how much of a pain removing inactives manually was.
I’m willing to do this free of charge for any guild that needs it because I know how messy doing it manually is. Here is a sample of the output I would send you:
Dazen.4867 absent for 44 days
Mistah Yebba.1428 absent for 43 days
Ladenie.6742 absent for 43 days
Katlow.2410 absent for 42 days
Billyjs.1473 absent for 42 days
kakoritz.2746 absent for 41 days
TheLulzyArtist.5369 absent for 41 days…
The leaderboard for a guild is only accessible if you are a member of the guild, so there are two different ways I can help you. Either, you can save the “Achievements – Guild Wars 2 Leaderboards.htm” page and send that to me, or invite me to your guild and I will get the page myself. Of course, tips are appreciated but I know some players don’t have much and need this too.
Send me a message or contact me in game if you’d like me to help you.
Amazingly, this is still broken and we have had no official response.
Wow, just wow. Darkhaven WvW is better than ever. Our matchups are all so close and so intense, it’s always anyone’s game until the end!
This week, Ferguson’s Crossing had the lead over the weekend, then Gate of Madness passed them for a brief period, but FC stood strong and retook it. After holding on until last night, Darkhaven took the lead with 10 hours left until reset. It’s still anyone’s game!
I’ve never had so much fun in WvW. With our low numbers, we are able to still beat out competition through strategy and by utilizing our server TeamSpeak.
We can still use more numbers. If your guild is stuck on a server where there are WvW queues, switch over to Darkhaven and join the fun! We have zero queues, but we still beat servers who have us outnumbered.
Thanks risen, I’ll try that out. What utility skills do you usually run?
But there’s gotta be a build that enhances these right? I’d like to hear about the specific traits/utility skills/runes/sigils.

I’ve looked around but couldn’t find it. Could someone please link it here?
The purpose of the game as a human is to not get killed. If I hide and don’t get killed, I don’t get credit…
