Guild Wars 2

Khayman Alisti.3260:

Even more annoying: can only convert one charged crystal / day? Or is this a bug only I am getting?

I was told it was 1 charged crystal per day per point of power.

I will be testing this, but I don’t think it works that way.

Evolut.2398:

Buttt..there is a market for them, just because the items you craft themselves are account bound doesn’t mean you can’t buy the crystals to make said item…

LOL, the charged crystal itself IS account bound
it doesn’t flood the market, it doesn’t make you any money at all so why this 1 per day crap ?
This is solely aimed at making this game a 1 character player per account only !!!

Hell, I would be happy if it was 5 crystals per day but, one is a bit outrageous even for a time sink style armor.

yeah just saw the official response.
still since i never saw the 100AP reward chest i thought the 500 one was the 1st one !
easy mistake to make.

I didn’t even get the chest for 1000 AP reward today as it should have been !

I only got the 500 AP reward again today instead of the 1000AP reward !
not working a.net !

Yesterday 7/9 bofw launched and I received my 500 AP reward
today 7/10 again I receive the same 500 AP reward !!!
what happened to the 1000 AP reward I was suppose to receive today 7/10 ???

Not working as intended !

and your assumption that I can’t jump is also erroneous lols !
I simply hate JP’s with a passion I spent to much of my youth playing mario, more like an addiction really.

And I do not want to relive that !
you call me an elitist ? are you serious ?
elitiest would be the ones that say it is ok the way they implemented this BS !

Farzo.8410:

If you have no dedication, if you aren’t willing to go through it, if you can’t handle it, you are not worthy of the achievement.

you miss the point SIR !

JP’s are an optional thing !!!
they should not tie in something like a new resource node to that kitten kind of content !
not everybody wants to play mario wars 2 !

and to make things worse !

you cannot get 16/16 without them stinking JP’s !!!!!

that is the point lol

There;s already a title for them stinking puzzles !
keep it at that !

so the rest of us can still enjoy proper content !

Why the kitten are the kites at the end of the jumping puzzles ???

I have always avoided those moronic kittenty things and now a bunch of achievements from bazaar are tied to these kites which can only be found at the end of the kitten kitten jumping puzzle !!!!

What now, you wanna force everyone to do your stupid jumping puzzles !!!!
They are supposed to be OPTIONAL for those that still want to relive their mario bros days ! I DO NOT WANT TO RELIVE MARIO

For kitten sake get these out of the stinking jumping puzzles please !!!!

the thing is nostromo’s are not permitted in tournaments
because of their obvious macro capability, which is a bummer because just like most of you I have it for the easy keybind setup and the D-pad movement, not for macro’s at all. I only have 1 macro and it’s for F interact and T for target called target.

if they were permitted in tourneys I’d be trying to up my game even more so I can play in tourneys.

physics bro physics !
when you fall even in game you fell !
there’s gravity, when you jump you come back down lol !
in that sense yes it is totally ridiculous !

Ravious.4269:

The July event is going to create a huge supply of quartz in the market. You also have 5 home instances, and while I was not able to complete the achievement to check… the Belcher’s Bluff NPCs are in each home instance… so my charr traveled to the home instance in The Grove for example to face off the sylvari Om master there.

That means possible personal supply of 15 quartz/day.

WRONG
the personal quartz is a once per day per account resource !
which sucks and I’ve been saying it for at least a week now on the forums but the kitten care bears that only play 1 character outnumber me 5:1 !

Everyone that has multiple characters they play on a regular basis will suffer because of the kitten care bears !

And look at how clever a.net did it !
the raw quartz is tradable ! (so we don’t complain right ?)
but the kitten charged quartz is NOT and you can only make ONE per day !

This is kitten outrageous, and blatantly placing a badly implemented TIME GATE
to the game !

Generally I hate those stupid JP’s with a passion and
this sanctum BS is one of the JP’s I have always refused to do at all !

Now it is tied to new content I absolutely want to do and it requires me to do a stinking JP !!!!!!

Come on a.net NOT everyone wants to kitteng play Mario Bros. again I grew up with that kitten game I’ve had enough Mario to last me 2 life times !

Please stop placing achievements in these kitten JP’s will yah !

When you stomp someone why do they get back up before falling down ?
that is so stupid, seriously !

change that a.net !

he can squirm, he can lift his legs and arms, he can bounce anything else but standing back up it looks ridiculous and totally unrealistic !

Vayne.8563:

My guild has people people who have helped people get points in Guild Wars 1 as well as playing Guild Wars 2 together. Once you have a couple of friends to help you, there’s no reason you can’t go back and get 30 points. It’s not that hard, even if it takes a while.

It’s good that they still allow you to get them, which is really nice! I got a bit spoiled, I played GW2 seeing how good it was and then after I had to go back to GW 1 to get my pet back, I couldn’t find myself playing without going back to GW 2 xD.

I have a friend that may be playing my original account to rack up the HoM points for me since he wants to do a play through, so I may get lucky haha

I bought gw1 2 years ago but only played a total of 100 hours on it.
than I joined a guild that has been around since the launch of gw1 a couple of months before gw2 launched, man that made a difference !

They even helped me get all my 35 HoM points and everything, it was a blast.

The entire guild migrated to gw2 as soon as it launched, and I’ve been playing with them ever since.

On a side note A.net when are you gonna introduce alliance chat or something similar again ? my guild is now divided into 3 full guilds and we cannot communicate properly !

This is one area I so wish it could be made permanent it’s amazing and it’s above the clouds. A.net make it happen make it permanent !

It says,
Celestial is an all stats combo, something previously only found on Ascended gear

Does this mean, all armor and weapons crafted will have the 1% stat increase per item like all ascended items do ?

Doesn’t matter if you could mine it with all your characters per day (which it should) you can only convert 25 raw quartz to 1 charged quartz once per day !

I hope you’re not planning to implement ascended armor crafting/recipes in this manner I have several toons that will need new armor !

I say give us the option blood fx on/off.
there problem solved.

they could release it on the ouya which is an open source style console. would get rid of all the sony / microsoft BS !

I would just worry about the performance it would have on that kind of system.

Fixed !!! stop your whining now !

I am Totally against this stupid IQ deprived idea !

one of the biggest and best features is the centralized gamewide trading post

Ask yourself this
Would saving yourself a couple of measly silver coins warrant making it so anyone can charge whatever the hell they like for an item ? of course not

Does saving yourself a couple of measly silver coins warrant being open to even worse scams ? of course not

Which game has the best economy of any online game ?
EVE which this system was based on (without the obvious scamming abilities of EVE as some have pointed out)

Stop this none sense about direct player trading already !!!

Unless you’re looking to ruin the entire game !

Astralporing.1957:

Vayne.8563:

There’s no reason that a person who has 10 alts should be able to get 10 of a reward that disadvantages people who have single characters by comparison.

It would disadvantage the single character people only if they were putting the same effort into their single character as someone put into their multiple alts. Which is possible, but in most cases is simply not true.

People that created many high-leveled alts (yes, i agree that low level alts should be prohibited from benefitting in some way) have to put a lot of effort into those chars. That is their disadvantage.

So yes, in lot of cases people that have only single char are and should be disadvantaged. There might be mechanisms to limit that disadvantage, but if it were completely eliminated, then i fully expect any disadvantage of posessing more than one char would be eliminated as well.

And back to the main topic… i wonder, besides the node in the player instance, will there be any other way to get those resources? And if it will be, will it be permanent addition, or temporal one (like azurites, that really should have been added to normal node drop tables)?

This ^^ is kinda my point I have 4 lv cap toons I play on a regular basis, for me they are NOT just resource gathering slaves !

So if this resource is account bound I will have to work a lot harder to gear up all my alts in whatever quartz will be used for ( I have a strong feeling they will be used for ascended armor crafting) than someone that has only one toon !

Say someone has only 1 toon they can gather 3 quartz per day, let’s say it takes them 10 days to gather enough to craft 1 piece of ascended whatever.

now in my case because of these stupid account limitations i will have to spent 10 days per toon to craft that same single piece for each of my toon. in the time it takes me with these limitations to craft one piece for each toon, the person with 1 toon can craft a whole set.

If it was minable by all my toon it would take me just as much time as the person with one toon to gear up my alts think about that when you say it IS fair as account bound !!!

I’m not saying there shouldn’t be a restriction !
I’m not saying there shouldn’t be limits !
But Why punish the people with legitimate lv cap alts ?

I’m sorry but this is entirely your OWN fault learn from your mistake !
use the trading post and no one will be able to scam you PERIOD !

In trying to circumvent the TP taxes and save some measly silver coins you exposed yourself and lost more than it would’ve cost you to use the trading post, learn your lesson !

I only do mail trades with guildmates and even than only for things like food and things that are not to valuable, no reason to tempt them to commit a scam by trading them a high value commodity.

the real issue is this
item salvage is an infinite way to gather as many achiev points as you want
people with loads of gold can simply purchase their way into 15k AP’s like this

As long as they do not adjust these kinds of things it will never work properly.

I’m a console gamer by nature and I find it odd to play any kind of game without my so faithful D-pad, which is the main reason I play with a nostromo.

Now that aside, I hate macros with a passion specially in PVP.

so my question for all of you pvper’s out there is this.

should nostromo users that do not use macros at all be permitted in tourneys ?
I think they should, and Razer should make a nostromo that doesn’t have built in macro software to promote this.

weapon swapping is great in it’s current form but…
it would be so much intricate and allow for so much needed customization and depth if,

when you swap weapons it also swaps your heal, utilities, traits and elite.

let’s say I’m currently in a damage role, all my skills utilities and traits are adjusted along that premise.

when I swap to a say control weapon my build is no longer efficient simply because all other aspects of my build are still primarily geared towards damage.

I think this would be a great change for the game and would make build diversity even more interesting and desirable.

I’ve been wondering about this since release but…
How come engies are the only class that has no melee at all ?
that is a bit odd.

If you can have a stinking ranger using a greatsword surely an
engie can at the very least use a sword or something akin to that.
let’s call it a technoblade.

there’s already an existing place for that called the hall of monuments
all they need do is, make it accessible to everyone not just gw1 players only.
and yes add the idea about the asura device allowing you to revisit that content again.

Soulmyr.8094:

What CoF armor is suddenly considered “new”? Also this game has huge variety of armor with 0 particles, besides CoF there is hardly any.

^^ this right here, seriously it is one of the few particle armors in the game if anything the should add more not remove the only one there is.

And people complaining about this is insane and ignorant !
what impacts your system right now is not armor particle effects it’s the spell particle effects that are rampant all over the place lol.

Mirta.5029:

It depends of what quartz will make. If it makes ascended items, wouldn’t it make sense that you could gather it with your alts, but only with level 80 alts that already have a certain life span (like a month, or a week) so that people wouldn’t abuse it?

You my dear man do understand where I’m coming from

Imagine if prior to ascended accessories, orichalcum ore was a limited once per account resource :S I assure you a lot of people would’ve been kitten ed off.

I don’t get why they don’t see what is happening here.

There are different kinds of altoholics man

there’s:

1- making low lv alts to gather high lv resources totally hate this kind btw, it’s borderline exploiting
2- making alts for the storage space benefits I’m fine with these it doesn’t impact me in the least
3- making alts to experience different playstyles and reaching lv cap this is the kind I am

Do I say everything should be character bound hell NO !

Things I agree are fine as an account wide reward.
Laurels, guild comms, AP’s, daily achieve etc.

BUT…..

There’s a difference between content specific limitations and gamewide limitations.

Crafting resources affect the whole game, not just a portion of the content.
I can’t just ignore it if it’s limiting and I don’t like it, I need it to progress my main and my alts.

Content limiting example:

I hate JP’s with a passion, and even though most of sky pirates achievements involve doing JP’s for the cashes
I don’t bother complaining about them I just ignore the content all together, simple as that.
it doesn’t really affect me in the least.

But when they try to limit a gamewide gathering crafting resource we should all be concerned

I can’t just say oh well I’m gonna skip this resource all together because I don’t like the way it is implemented.
if you want to progess your character you will need this resource, if I skip all JP’s all I lose are a couple of AP’s

I play all my chacracters they are not just there to gather resources
if the quartz get lmited to one character only, I might not be able to equip my other toons in ascended gear at all.
if it is not invloved in any ascended crafting go ahead and limit it to your hearts content I don’t care on e bit
but if it is required for ascended crafting, than hell NO

here’s why

I have several characters that will require ascended armor.
yes i play them all.
limiting the resource would make it almost impossible to have more than 1 toon in ascended armor per 5-6 months.
for thosewith 1 toon they actually play this is fine.
not so much for those like me that actually play more than 1 class in a regular basis, not just making low lv alts for gathering for profit.

If I was the number 1 kind of altoholic this is fine it limits them just as it should be.
if you are the 3rd kind though you get punished for no reason.

see I’m not saying don’t limit it at all I understand why they would want to,
but if my alt is not a low lv character made for the sole purpose of gathering high lv materials only
in fact it is a lv capped character than I should be able to gather the new resource on it as well.

This allows me as a alternate play style character lover to expand all my toons to ascended armor NOT just my main.

in conclusion my point is this.

quartz needed for ascended crafting, no once per day per account, i have several lv capped toons that will need it.
quartz not needed for ascended crafting, go ahead and limit the crap out of it as much as you desire.

Or the best compromise

make the resource minable once per account but also tradable,
at least this way my kind of altoholic will be able to get all the characters he plays geared up and ready for action

Or

make it like prestine relics.
you can get them on all toons but since it is account bound it doesn’t affect the economy, there, this also solves the problem.

this topic and thread are just simply IQ deprived
you got scammed because you didn’t use the TP which is game wide btw !
you want a player to player trade option, so you can end up paying more money to some scammer !

OMFG, the TP in gw2 is the best auction house I’ve seen in any game ever !
except for eve of course !

learn your lesson, just port and get your food from the TP, if you’re dungeon running 3s for the teleport is nothing at all.

Seriously, complaining about one of the best systems in the game is stupid to say the least !

that said
I would pay an extra 2-5% fee so that my BLT goods are delivered to my location

there is no higher tier of runes, duh !

UW
FOW
CAPES
MERCENARY HEROES so you can take your alts along and run dungeons alone

Shiren.9532:

Racial specific back items could be a thing. I actually like the samurai flag thing, but I dislike the tiny ones in the game. They look like handles more than a way of proudly displaying guild pride.

I have to agree that if it was like real sashimono it would actually be really cool
but……

That tiny piece of kitten on my back is laughable to say the least
I understand they were trying to avoid looking like the ones wow has for battle grounds but in doing so they created something truly ridiculous and ugly looking.

to late mate, those are flame and frost skins.
no longer available for purchase.

yes to the idea but NO to the 8k achieve points cost !
that’s a bit steep, I’ve been playing for 1500 hours and only have 4.9k AP’s
which tells me that this idea is not exactly a fool proof way to ensure enough participation in game before awarding a precursor for AP’s !

One of the main reasons I have only 4.9k AP’s is I don’t like any of the other races AT ALL I only play humans, as such my AP’s take a hit :S

or you can use this website http://www.gw2crafts.net/total.html
which adapt the costs to current TP prices, and has guides for speed crafting, normal crafting or traditional crafting.

instead of a static excel sheet

sure, just as long as I can buy an item in the cash shop that mutes all these annoying instruments that’s fine.

Right now people just use them to grief players !
how’s that a.net created this griefing disease and I’m willing to pay them to get rid of it.

Oh, the irony !

cut the tail, lower it, make it curve lower, make capes specially designed with a curvature around the stupid tail, so many options

The only race keeping us from capes is the stinking charr, which I totally hate btw !
this hate comes from gw1 can’t help it i fought them for ages there !

So I see no reason to not have 2 styles of capes.
1 for the other 4 races
1 for the stinking charr

there problem solved as well !

Come on chop chop anet.

title says it all,

NO to sashimono !http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/193/7/1/yoshimitsu__costume_black__by_barricadexbumblebee-d5709mc.jpg!

NO to the upcoming Aspect back items
!https://d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/0c2f401-Aspect-Back-Items.jpg!

YES to capes, we want capes none of this BS compromise we want capes PERIOD

Eiposu no Tenshi.5079:

read it but to long to quote

that works well in GW1 because it was not gear cebtric at all and it was NOT a mmorpg it was a co-oprpg.

what they are trying to do is limit the resource so that it takes a kitten month long to get 1 single kitten piece of ascended armor !

I’ve had enough of this kitten slowing me down BS with accessories

if I have 8 characters and want to speed up the process I can’t because the resource is only given to 1 single kitten measly character !

it’s easy to see from this conversation who has only one measly character and who doesn’t !
those that have agreed with me have several and understand how mmorpg’s work and do not like the limitations, hell what I’m asking for is not outrageous !

the casuals totally go kitten over it because if it is implemented it would allow me to gather resources faster than they can !

why is that bad ?
I still would need to level them to 80 to do so !
why should I be punished for the fact they only have 1 character !
and kitten why don’t they go kitten over the fact boosters allow others to level faster than they can ?

It’s ironic isn’t it ?
one form of going faster is ok, but the other isn’t !

Tintifax.2614:

Ehm, another question: If you can’t get the meta achievement of this limited time event for whatever reason (no time to play etc.) you permanently lose access to a crafting resource?
If so, second question: Has Arenanet totally lost their minds?

This on the other hand is a very GOOD question, they better find a way so that new players coming to the game after this event is over can also get access to this quartz resource.

womble.2153:

Out in the world, there are lots of nodes; if you have a dozen level 80s, you can either go and mine each of their personally-instanced nodes, or go around mining with just one character. Mining output per account is limited by time spent.

Nobody is talking about how many characters you can gather with at the same time !
it’s about your ability to swap characters and mine the same node again that is in question !
read properly b4 answering !

Latinkuro.9420:

real life example for those that don’t get where I’m coming from.

you live alone and earn say $1000, this enables you to buy things and buy materials to create things. GW2’s idea of account bound rewards is in line with this

now you think hmm let me get a 2nd person and earn anotehr $1000 to enable me to buy more things , the game equivalent of this 2nd person is you need to lv it up and invest in it bofore you can actually profit from it. this would be alt gathering

now what the nay sayers are saying is this !

even if you have 2 jobs you are not allowed to earn more than the initial $1000 and even if you have a 2nd person that person would work and still not earn kitten ! now that you see this example doesn’t that sound insane, you should be able to earn rewards from that 2nd person/ character as well right ?

it is not my fault someone plays only 1 character
it is not my fault you do not have time to lv a 2nd character
it is not fair to limit me and others that have several characters this way

they want to take it even further and make it a rule that says.

you can only have 1 job and you only earn profit from 1 person even though you have several !

So now you have 2 people and you think you are entitled to THEIR MONEY TOO? Sorry too ludicrous.

YES because those 2 characters are yours, don’t take it to literal lol !
those characters arte still YOU! not a true 2nd person lol

my goal is to raise awareness to this bad direction trend that the game is going into.

real life example for those that don’t get where I’m coming from.

also,
using experience boosters to lv faster than someone else is not considered an unfair advantage but………………

using my alt to gather resources faster is !!!!!

oh the irony !!!!!!!!

Jemmi.6058:

skullmount.1758:

Jemmi.6058:

It is not punishment. You are not actively being penalized for having alts. As a matter of fact, you could have your primary character with everything that a person who only plays one character has. Therefore, you have that and more with your alt. You may be restricted on getting max everything on that alt, due to account bounds etc, but that is not a punishment.

Except that it is. This game is pretty much only about the look of stuff. Every event reward (other than Halloween ones (Mad King items) and SAB) has been [/b]one[/b] per account. If I really liked the toymaker/tentacle/flower backpiece, or the fused gauntlets, then I am being punished because I can’t use the skin I want on more than one character (at a time. If I want to use it on different toons, I need to take the time to keep transferring it, which is a punishment).

That is not what punishment means. Punishment != not getting what you want. Punishment requires either
1. adding something negative to a person
2. removing something positive from a person

You are not having a negative thing added, nor a positive thing removed. You are simply not having a positive thing added.

Examples of punishment:
1. You just rolled an alt, you now have a permanent backpiece that cripples you
2. You just rolled an alt, you’re backpiece on your main character is now deleted

Not-examples of punishment:
1. You just rolled an alt. You are not given anything.

Another note, restriction of access is not necessarily a punishment. Everyone is restricted to account bound, so it is not a punishment. However, it would be a punishment if you were all of a sudden restricted access to the item for all of your characters, because you rolled an alt.

This is really semantics, but it bugs me to read so many people claiming they are punished when they do not receive what they want.

it is punishing even from your point of view:
you said:
2. You just rolled an alt, you’re backpiece on your main character is now deleted

guess what, so you have 2 characters and on 1 you can mine the node.
the other one gets jack ! there is your punishment lol !
