Guild Wars 2

bri.2359:

No one has mentioned this, so I will …

To build up some initial investment capital, try crafting for profit. You will need to follow some web sites to do this.

If you have crafted at all, you will be aware of component pieces that are required, things like boot liners, etc. These markets fluctuate quickly, but if you are quick, you can make30-40% profit after TP fees.

Look into crafting insignia or items using certain kitten insignia. These are not fancy big-ticket items, crafting 10 items can net you 60 silver here, 1g there in profit. Do this for a few weeks to build up capital.

Start small and try a few things to get a feel for certain markets while building capitol.

Thank you I will look into this something nice to start off with.

Thanks for tips everyone. It seems like I just need to speculate what is going to go up based off upcoming content. Like if I had bough a bunch of cheap iron ore people were tossing away right before those new back packs. Guess I am going all in for mithral ore. I feel change coming.

People get angry because TP is best way to make money and “Easiest”. I think it is very time consuming, and most people who play the TP pretty much just do that. Maybe you jump in a quick pvp (where gold dont matter) or focus on getting cool gear but it does not really matter. You get gold to have gold. It is a game within its self. So I do not understand why people who PVE a lot get angry at TPers, they may have 100mil+ gold but it changes nothing for you.

Right Right. I am looking for more small time stuff to build on until I can find my own Niche within the Market. Like I do not have enough to buy 30 (250) stacks of mithral ore to speculate it will be rising in price with next back pack coming out. Is there any small things people buy and resell for small profits. like a dagger or food etc. More basic tips the better.

Hello,
I want to become rich. Very Rich. I always am so poor in this game (around 10 gold), and it is high time I start playing the market. It will be nice to walk around in my normal clothes and top hat and make this market my … well I can not curse but you get what I mean. I am looking for helpful hints at playing the market, I have seen some but I am looking for just about anything to keep in mind or do. EXAMPLE: Buying cheap armor that you can salvage for MATS that are worth more. ETC.

Keep in mind that the level 1-2 and 79-80 take equal time, so it is frustrating early on you think your going slow (WOW levels scaled in difficulty). One thing to remember is use all the gathering tools, always good for EXP and even if you never use them they sell high. Complete entire map your on (vistas, POI, WP, Challenges). And early on I like to grab at least one other starting zone. I suggest Norn starting zone, pretty easy it is big, and you will unlock MAW WP which is quick and easy world boss you will be doing long into level 80.

I agree the PVP dailies are perfect, I get them within 3-5 matches without even looking at the list (NOT sure whats on it). PVE has ALWAYS been a checklist for me, which does change how I would play the game.

Well I liked the story a lot. I came and went so I missed some of the early stuff, came back in time to get hooked back up I like the living story great job on content and keeping PVE interesting. Always fun stuff to do and get really amazing work. Excited for PVP PATCH THIS SPRING/SUMMER too! So much content update it is crazy to even keep up with amazing work.

So GW1 with a repair bill added on, or is this really just copy paste from wildstar? Either way I support unlimited options for PVE and PVP so go ahead and make it.

as mentioned, Guild Wars entire combat system was built around NOT having a tank healer dps… or what is known as the holy trinity. And in league of legends you need a a good jungler (Normally tanky dps), a good AD (Attack DMG) carry, and rest is whatever. You do not in anyway need a healer aka or support. Sonna is nice to have though only one team gets her. anyway now that we derailed this…. yeah totally different games.

The patch has been hinted at spring or summer (the big PVP overhaul with guild battles possibly?) They are taking OUT glory march 18 so idk what the purpose of doing PVP other than to ladder will be (has caused a lot of upset people). They will not give a release date before it is 100% ready to go no bugs so they can give exact date. (So what day before?) Anyways patch rumors I am hearing it is worth sticking around for.

In queen’s gauntlet players were making 100g+ a day EASY. Now that new sales are up in gem store, they are USING that gold to convert to gems, therefore causing the xchange rate to rise. It is basic economics. The more gold that enters the market, the less it is worth. How do people not understand this?

Holy god average players were making 100g daily?!?! Your server crashed all the other then!!! IT is Queens Gauntlets FAULT!!!

Sarcasm is the refuge of a shallow mind, if you have a counterargument, please expose it instead of hiding behind a veil of sarcasm.

Sarcasm is the refuge of a shallow mind? Haha what is there to counter? This is a pretty stupid question in the first place, as many said already it is the market, nothing to explain nothing to argue 1+1=2 and supply=demand. Do you guys want some econ 101 or just looking for someone to agree with you that it is unfair prices have gone up? If you want every other little new skin that pops out you need to spend real money to get it. It is what it is. In good news pie tasting pie is still going for like 10 copper.

GW2 Better game I am sorry. This is coming from the biggest GW1 fan, keep in mind GW1 got better and better just like this game is DOING. Guild halls did not launch with GW1 either tooks over year with that too. Yes I hear you and I miss some of the obvious great things about GW1
-Templates for builds
-Guild battle system
-Guild Halls
-Amazing combination of classes made you feel unlimited in your set up every character was like different class
-You had to go capture skills
-You did dungeons from place to place (instances) and it was a lot of fun, also ability to use AI instead of finding group

GW1 had almost no end game other than competitive Guild fights and of course the new expansion that came out like every 6 months. Game was also impossible to balance because of before mentioned ability to be dual class.

GW2- Added races, weapons, and the classes are very different to play in a much better graphics system and combat mode. GW2 has a lot of room to grow and is growing give it time.

Never make up my mind.

Not trolling at all here… but Every class is unique, not to mention Thief is one of the more “bland” and standard classes as far as MMOs go they work very similar to other MMOs. (WOW and SWTOR both have action system for Thief types). Engineer is truly a unique class to GW also Mesmer. Or are you simply asking why do they not use MANA (Warrior does not either)? It is because it is the only way to mitigate the DPS burst DMG from a thief. Well best currently known way. You could put the moves as higher CD but they need to be able to burst but with in reason. I honestly believe every class plays very differently.

Bring back AI support for dungeons, customization bot AI to fight with you. (Story mode dungeons only)

More fun to get achievements* (Such as drinking at yaks bend)

Ha ha FAKE was added by Anet. I got busted

You can’t say it is worth french and German but not Polish. Polish has Germanic roots and would not be that big of a stretch. I am sure as time goes on the will have many more translations. It is not coming soon though.. sorry man. No Czech for me ever prob.

No problem at all! Pass it on to your friends and guildies, tell everyone!

So basically you wanna combine the most overpowered portions of the most overpowered classes, Guardian, Warrior, Elementalist and mesmer into one single class for you to steamroll everything and everyone.

Uhm, no thank you, it’s good enough a it is and to be honest the class name itself is ludicrous to say the least, sounds like some bad religious cult.

I’d rather they introduce:
- more weapons skills to allow for customization on current weapons in the game.
- new weapon types to expand said customization.
- new elite skills
- new races, like kodan or the lagos, NO to tengu and NO to skritt (seriously)

I love people like you. Calling something out while you haven’t even tried it. Btw ele is no shape or form an op class. Its mostly a free kill now days.

Yep smiled the Mesmer (getting his free Ele Kill)

So it took me a pretty long time to get this achievement, lots of internet places hinting at it and a couple walk throughs and I finally tried it out. It is REAL! Go to Yak’s Bend Way point. Talk to the Karma vendor and buy “Yaks Bends Gullible Wine”. Make sure to drink it then BAM! HIDDEN ACHIEVEMENT! You get 1 AP but it has 4 tiers, by the end (drinking 10) you will have gotten 10 AP PLUS a title, Drunken Fool!!!
Mind Blown
You’re Welcome

To Clarify I love that we will grow as a game in asia, i mean using their characters in game on american and EU servers. Do not need people thinking they have cool names uses those letters.

They are about to release in Asia… very very soon. I hope they never release it on EU or american servers, people gonna make their names with those characters then and it is hard to call em in PVP on vent. “ahhh attack… ahh crap… Asia….”

GS – S/P
(DPS Build)
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vgAQNAR8alknpRtdqxNNMrNiYqQwR6RplatWpH42FObA-TwAg0CnI4SxljLDXSuscNIYRwmjDBA

DETAILED GUIDE
Always start off with GS, start your full rotation of abilities (2,4,3) if they know what they are doing the will close distance, let them in close after they try and hit you with ability use dodge (making 3rd clone) and shatter mind wrack. Push them back with ability 5 and now 2 should be back up use that as well, now switch to S/P and use 3. Again dodge will be up dodge attack (now have 3 clones use distortion) Use distortion then use 4. Next use 5 to stun, when stun breaks and they attempt to unload dmg (they will be desperate now) use number 2 to continue dmg and be unhitable. When it ends dodge and use decoy, well using decoy repostion far away switch back to GS and shatter what is up (should have three clones out.) Your next hit is 100% guaranteed crit. REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT. Note that you number 7 ability gives you 2 free clones, I use this when I mess up or need to break stun, I shatter them with 4th shatter that will give you vigor, but feel free to play them as you see fit. 8 is for tankies or anyone with lots of boons and or using conditions on you. 9 is for again if I messed up along the way or want to attempt a 1v2.

I used to think it was underpowered, and stuck with feedback and null field instead, but after a while, with my build anyways, I noticed I lost to warriors and guardians with lots of boons or other mesmers and necro slapping conditions on me, to I decided it would be better to have a move that helps me vs what I am weak against, Tanky WARRIOR AND GUARDIANS and NECRO (or any condition builds). I like the result of it a lot. Does it miss? sure it can be evaded but I just count on my own timing to make it work I guess.

New idea, Fee Way Points- if a waypoint is contested then you can pay additional fee to go their anyways. Good or bad idea?

Some people still use the good old GS/SP like I have stuck by since day one. Sure I sometimes go off and have my fun with Staff/SS and other builds similar to it, but in the end I really feel that S/P has so many good uses it can not be ignored, and that it messes better with a GS build that has power and crit built into it. I may get some bad feedback on the fact that I do not use feedback (in game with lots of ranger opponents use it I love the ability too) but in the end I find that the hardest people to bring down are a really good Warrior, Condition Necro, or Guardian, so I use Arcan Thievery to balance the playing field. I go back and forth on this choice as feedback really lets you start bursting a CP and forcing the defender to step off the CP. Guess it depends what you are doing in the match. But without any more jibber jabber here is my DPS GS build that has never let me down, if you die in a fight with this build you will always think to yourself, dang I shoudla used this or that ability.

FliFlaFlooo.2904:

Warriors for example can use 11 weapons and 21 combinations, my thief only 6 and 12 combinations
not whining, but just feels like some classes could need 1 more weapon type added

If anyone should cry it would be ELE. Staff, scepter, dagger, focus. I am not ele and I know they have the lighting, earth, water, fire to all of em but it is still pretty sad sauce they do not have crap.

1. Guild v Guild Battles (possible in upcoming Patch)
2. Templates – Templates for builds including skill and traits and armor set as wanted
3. Tab for activities (hate searching and would be nice to go quickly to them)
4. Guild Halls
5. Contest WP Fee – Pay little extra to go to a contested WP.

You will view my limited time back back and you will like it sir!

Newsflash those backpacks aren’t there so you can show it off, it’s there because you like it. Nobody ever congratulated me on my legendary and I certainly don’t expect – those backpacks should be for your viewing pleasure only…

An option to disable, please!

I was just joking/trolling yeah disable feature would be fine. I do think they are there to show of just like having a rare weapon though, but yeah disable feature for backpacks and a health bar feature would be fine by me.

Linnea.5146:

Ah, I see your point about the big changes. And I have to agree with everyone on the “Guild Wars”, I mean, the title doesn’t have anything to do at all with the content. I’m not even in a guild now, but I’d still like to see GvG and guild halls.

Some people will argue that “GUILD WARS” title is about the lore not the combat system. I just want the option, I won’t get into a lore argument about it haha.

You will view my limited time back back and you will like it sir!

I should add your play style and build obviously effect what matches up well with you, I am not saying Warrior and Necro counter Mesmer, just with my play style they match up well vs me personally.

[/quote]

Only warriors being named again ? How many matches Did you play ? What about the OP engies,necros,guardians,mesmers,“Some” thiefs.. ? There are several of those in every pvp match aswell…But no, no thats not interesting lets just follow the qq train to warrior land.[/quote]

Okay so over half the Classes you named are OP? So I take it you are an ELE or Hunter… do not mind warriors…. hmm lets say Hunter then. (Ele would of prob not saved thief for last). Every class has its natural enemy, for example I feel as though Warrior and Necros match up best vs my Mesmer in most cases they annoy me the most. However on my Engineer I dont give 2 craps about necro or warrior. Each class has its limit is all I am getting at…. and if you think every class is op…. may not be the classes… HOLD UP MIRROR

sPVP is a very unique experience to GW2, and it involves tactics, teamwork, and also naturally creates 1v2 4v4 3v2 etc fights. That being said yeah we would all like more modes, which they are for SURE working on but MAYBE getting thrown in with the PVP overhaul, and I have seen hints of GvG stuff. (Fingers Crossed)

Guild influence stays too… all that hard work….

Oh course as a burst zerker mesmer with a GS I normally burst down whoever the F comes in range first lol. I guess this is a list more for when I am the rare 4v4 or 5v5 that happens in middle of map 1-3 times a game. Normally I am capping solo the farthest CP.

Lankybird.8149:

I do not think separating by classes is the best way for targeting, you kind of have to get a feel for what their builds are (Tanky, DPS, Support, or balanced)

I go for
1.) Support (DOWN FIRST)
2.) DPS (FINISH FIRST)
3.) Balanced (Tanky DPS or condition DPS normally)
4.) Tanky

Problem you may notice with this is Condition Damage types and tanky chars (Often Condition DMG) get saved for last and have time to build up their Condition dmg. Still outnumbers or even this is the order I stick to.

30. I played a mesmer for the first time and beat builds people had been running for over a year. WOOT WOOT #Mesmer4life #Mesmer4LifeClone #Mesmer4Lifecloneofclone #Mesmer4lifeCloneofcloneofclone #Shatter

I know I am lucky as a Mesmer to have already so much amazingness, so this will make people angry on two levels (Asking for more pvp and bring up GW1). I would like to see more options to keep me using a scepter Focus, maybe a rework of scepter where I can play a Mesmer more like the one I had in GW1 (Keep in mind no one played Mesmer in close combat or with GS in GW1 now it is standard). Maybe bring back empathy, phantasm illusion, Blackout, and Backfire, as I stated I would like it with Scepter/ focus so but hey I am not picky even added on as utility skills be fine by me.

Simply put, the end game does not allow you to grind out GOD gear to crush player of lower gear who may or may not be better skill wise.

I think the problem people are having with GW2 is all focused on end game. GW2 did a lot of new innovative things to the normal MMO standards. End Game is not WOWs end game, which a majority of MMOs line up for. In fact many people play WOW JUST FOR end game the climb to max level doesnt matter. I tend to agree end game is the most important thing in a game, what makes an mmo an mmo is the end game. That being said I feel that GW2 is the best End Game of any game. Tons of end game story content it is really like it never ends, they have been pushing a huge overhaul on PVP and PVE in upcoming (spring or summer) patch coming out, and normally content like this would be a paid for expansion we are getting it for free. GW2 gives you much more than you paid for, no you dont hunt gear the same way, no the PVP is not 2v2 3v3 4v4 5v5 like in WOW it is conquest (They said they adding new modes prob in this next patch). If you want gear you gotta work hard for it, if your casual player that wants to still play on a high level you can still join others.

Yep, that is why I want to keep a list like this going it is not crazy to think they might see it and bring up some of the ideas.

“We also want to get a couple more major gameplay types out there for players to pick between,” – game director Colin Johanson

“We have a couple of really big Guild Wars projects cooking in the background,”
- game director Colin Johanson

“we absolutely are going to do sweeping new features that you would traditionally only get in expansions – large regions, content and progression additions to your characters in the form of growth and professions and races. Those are all things that you will see in the lifespan of Guild Wars 2.”

u forgot the most important one, new weapons and new weapon skills

There was a great thread posted on new weapons and weapon types but they would CHANGE the game in a big way, these are more quality of life changes that would not change functionality of game. Basically if all these were added people could go on doing what ever they are doing right now and not notice any difference. Those who want to have a lot of fun with the game and find fun stuff to do,(Especially end game) would notice HUGE difference.
