Guild Wars 2

Ricky Da Man.5064:

Node will be account bound and you can only use it once per day for 3 quartz ore.

reason, possible use in crafting ascended armor.

it will be used for acended armor which is why I’m kitten ed off with the annoying restrictions that are now creeping into node gathering.

Again, I’m not saying make it unrestricted, but If my alts are all lv 80 I should be allowed to mine the kitteng node !

if I create an alt just to mine it, than I say hell no !

alt quartz gathering only available for all lv 80 toons.
if you only have 1 character than this restriction doesn’t apply !

this would solve the exploit potential and still make it viable for people with multiple characters to get the node without exploiting it

Mad Rasputin.7809:

Unlimited quartz node access! That sounds so great… except it doesn’t. Unless they address the potential for ALT abuse, this should be a big no go.

Too many like to abuse and create ALTs, mine, and then rinse and repeat. I will always say NO to allowing this type of behavior in game.

which is why I’m not saying make it unrestricted !
I say this: you have lv 80 alt characters ? yes, go ahead and mine the quartz with them !
you just created a new alt just ot mine quartz ? hell no get it to lv 80 1st than mine the node !

don’t care much about passiflora nodes !
I just want to make sure nodes don’t kitteng become account bound going forward !
and that players like me do not get punished for having multiple characters that is all.

also not dismissing your exploit BS !
it has nothing to do with what im talking about an exploit is called as such because it is not the way the game is intended to work !

now that your point has been beaten and nullified to want talk about crap that has nothing to do with the discusion. lol

back on topic
big NO to account bound nodes people !

this would be the last straw on punishing people for having more than 1 measly character

it IS punishment, if the whole dam game is being steered towards the idea that everyone should benefit from 1 character only !

that is also the reason why I’m raising my voice in protest, if WE the ones with lots of characters do NOT shout and rebel, arenanet will think it’s alright and continue this disgusting trend of business

Okay I have a lot of characters, but this is just wrong. If the balance of a currency is there to stop people from attaining it too quickly, then by giving it to every alt you break the balance. That’s completely logical.

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.

And having a zillion alts doesn’t entitle you to getting quartz faster than anyone else. That’s would put pressure on people to alt, just because.

if you went through the leveling process and all that why shouldn’t you be allowed to earn and reap the rewards as well, limiting a mining node to just one character is NOT cool.

what you are talking about is more about laurels and that crap !
I’m talking specifically about this new gathering node

in your case you’re saying it’s ok to make this a single character game !
don’t presume to call it an mmorpg than !

Because game balance is more important than any individual.

game balance is intact, laurels and guild commondations are capped per account nodes are NOT meant to be account bound lol.
thus your point is mute.

1- RNG heavy for anything remotely beautiful.
2- to many account bound rewards, alt toons rewards hatred !
3- no hardcore endgame only content !
4- GRIND heavy !

Jeez, content was just announced and you already have an acronym for BotFW.

Regarding the OP: Curious thought, but Id imagine that allowing alts to harvest this would give altaholics an unfair advantage which is why they make certain design decisions regarding dragon chests the way they do.

As someone already said, we had the acronym from the picture on the release page.

As for the second thing, unless they make the node appear in each characters home instance, but the node is account bound, so if you do it on one, it won’t be available on another till the next day.

This ^^ also defeats the purpose of having alts at all, if I have 6 or 15 toons I should be able to do it on every single toon PERIOD

I understand, most casuals play only 1 toon, but why should we all have to be punished for their style of play ?

GW2 is becoming more and more a 1 character game !
this is not good at all !

Yeah, I’m with you. Hopefully they don’t screw us players with several alts (I’m up to 10 toons right now). They do keep making stuff that punishes people with alts.

It’ll probably have a ‘lvl’ requirement (ie. specific pick), so it would stop people who’ll try to create new toons just to mine it.

^^ this is a reasonable restriction to me as well
you want to mine it on other toons get them to lv 80 first.
it stops exploiting the node with lv 5 toons.

But, than all cash shop and all mining tools would need to be lv 65 or 80 !

How is that an unfair advangate ? it’s not like they magically went from lv 1 to 80 !
I went through the painful leveling experience 6 times to get them, not to mention all the exotic gear acquisition !

If I went through all that shouldn’t I be able to profit from them ?

Quote: Personal Quartz Node: Once players complete the meta achievement for this release, their home instance will have a daily resource node, allowing the harvesting of quartz – a new material being introduced in this release for crafting new recipes.

If this node is tied to meta achievement, will we only get just the one for a single home instance ? or is it than unlocked for all my character’s home instances ?

This is very important, I feel more and more GW2 punishes players that have alts slowing down progression for anyone that has more than one measly character.

an official response would be highly appreciated.

OMFG, why not ask for a quantity menu to be added to vendors instead of trying to invent some crappy out of the game program !

suggestions have been made about this already, including by me !

AlexisRosewood.4210:

I’ve played around all the classes a bit and found that I like the Ranger best. She gets a pet!
But the shortbow could have a bit longer range, or maybe there is an upgrade I can get my hands on or a skill to increase range? I decided to play Ranger because they fight from a distance but ehhhh. Shortbow needs longer range. Thanks bye

lol you came to the game to late shortbow range is something they recently nerfd :P
get a longbow and be done with it.

YES PLEASE
to the waypoints, but not the rest

I dig this suggestion it would be awesome.

Title says it all, we need a quantity menu for those of us buying 1000x of the same item.
I was buying dragon bash food today from the vendor and it was a pain having to confirm every single purchase :S I think I might have gotten RSI from it :S

This is just the latest example, we have been in need of this for a lonnnnnng time now

IndigoSundown.5419:

Bots can’t farm CoF.

/thread

This ^^ alone is why they should never ever touch CoF path 1.
at least there are no filthy bots farming there, you have to sit and spent the time farming all that gold.

also I’m tired of getting confused and not knowing who the hell I’m talking to unless I hover over the character name to see account name, while this is fine when you are not fighting it is incredibly annoying if you are say in a dungeon.

give us an option to see account name only or nickname only, regardless of the character someone is playing

With a game that is all about skins, how come only sPVP has a collectible closet ???
this is outrageous, I’m mostly a PVE player and I want to keep all the nice skins I’ve collected over the course of 1500 hours played in my PVE collectibles so I can use them anytime I want to.

I feel your pain bro, I don’t teach dungeons anymore either
because of to many kevlar type players.
but…

There’s also the other side of the story.
some of the people I taught went on to become great dungeon players, one of them even got the dungeon master title before I did making me actually focus on it and get it even though it wasn’t one of my goals.

I’m sorry but…
that clip may have been a lot of action and fun back in it’s day, something like this in Guild Wars would actually put me to sleep rather than give me enjoyment.

It’s like saying oh man I had so much fun and excitement on my 486DX I want computers to be like that again.

it just wouldn’t work times have changed, so have games, move on and treasure the memories you made in that game it will not happen again, at least not in the same way.

anzenketh.3759:

I would think that the GW2 raid could be something more like a 10+ man dungeon that scales for guilds. Where all you get are guild commendations coin and karma.

Having raids tied directly to guilds is a BAD idea, I hate that stupid comms reward system it limits me way to much, if they do it like you propose I will be saying goodbye to Guild Wars 2 for good.

Implement them like dungeons you only need to assemble 10+ players and go do it.
no guild attachment BS please !

JinAtonic.2781:

as per title…i dont know who to start playing

so you will only play the class that has the most advantage not the class you like go figure !

Dub.1273:

A 7 minute casual AC run rewards you with just a bit more money. Oh this gw2 reward system.

yeah but there is no monocle drop I foresee a lot of stinking MF leechers going in.
I hate those they contribute nothing and get all the goodies kitten off MF leechers !

Dub.1273:

Organized groups needed 15 minutes for Molten Facility?

Molten facility was a far more difficult and longer dungeon than this one is at least from what they showed on the live stream.

Broadicea.8294:

Not seriously taking bets, but how about some guesses.

http://dulfy.net/2013/06/23/gw2-aetherblade-retreat-dungeon-guide/

The devs think that the difficulty/length warrants a full 1 gold reward plus regular dungeon completion silver for every run. I’m guessing the groups that frequent here can get it down much faster than they think. It’s not apparent how much time gating there is going to be, but MF was down on 30 minutes easy, so I expect the same for this.

from what I saw on the live stream, it will take 10-15 minutes for skilled organized groups to kitten it into pieces.

I also foresee a rewards nerf patch coming tomorrow

gw2 has no hardcore content period.

join the club I’m not playing today till the patch hits.
someone did mention there was an in-game message about a new build coming but that was also 1 hour ago.

it’s because of IQ deprived comments like these No one is “making” you do anyting … it is a choice. that we will never get rid of this cancer that is damaging the community.

LOL has it right you want a skin pay for it and get it, if LOL had RNG boxes trust me it would die a horrible, slow painful death.

like I already stated the problem is the way the cash shop works, they should’ve thought about RMOT and in-game gold conversion before launching the BLTC.

sorry but, your point for saying this is totally and utterly mute and nullified.

Guild Wars 2 is actually several completely separate games together.

1 PVE guild wars 2 is one game, for those that want to do PVE only stuff.
2 WvW PVP is the end game PVP for PVE players and again is completely separate from PVE world.
3 SPVP guild wars 2 is completely separate and focused on competition , has nothing to do with PVE at all.

you can play any one game mode w/o ever touching the others.
if you like PVE go do pve only stuff.
if you like PVP go do WvW with your PVE toon.
if you like SPVP go do competitive PVP.

see, your point is totally nullified by how anet designed the game, and the fact that ESL just picked gw2 for tournament play only re-enforces this premise.

to quote you
These are all intrinsically competitive games. The core and only objective is to defeat another player or team. These games were designed with this objective from the beginning.

this is exactly how SPVP works, so what’s your point ?
you wrecked your own argument right there with this line lol

Where is most of Guild Wars 2’s content?

all they need to do is add PVP only skins for sale on the TP, and it would be the same as League of Legends

more PVP maps and game modes wouldn’t hurt either.

but your original point is mute and dead.

I don’t know it seems legit but…..
just to be on the safe side do not click the link it might be a redirect to a non anet website.

do change your password though but go manually to the gw2 site and access your account than change your password

Dan kan je zeker van zijn dat je account niet was of kan worden gestolen.

Scholar and eagle suck. you guys are weird

Is this real life? did i just read this? wakitten

You guys are indeed funny I wouldn’t kick someone with scholar runes but
I would silently laugh at his money wasting efforts.

ruby orbs 120 power 90 precision and 12% crit cost 25s per item
scholar runes 165 power and 8% crit cost 3g63s per item on gw2spidy

sorry but even though I have the cash for these runes or others I would also call them subpar because the cost involved is to high for the minimal power increase they give.

I do not kick anyone with these runes but I do laugh silently at their stupidity for wasting so much money on subpar runes.

warriors are crit machines everybody knows that, with that in mind ruby orbs ARE superior as they give more crit dmg and are also superior because you don’t waste your money on subpar runes.

every decent warrior speed runner knows ruby orbs are the best in slot at the moment.
and they are dirt cheap what is wrong with that ? go ahead and waste your money while I laugh at you when you ping those muahahahahahahahah.

make your own post. ‘LF4M CoF P1 anyone welcome’ will fill up almost instantly.

That’s the best ticket to a horrible farm run I have ever read. You get the scum of society signing up in seconds.

just get a sigil of smothering lol XD

easy fix really, get a sup. sigil of the night for 10% extra damage in all dungeons.
after all, all dungeons are night time. there problem solved.

the real solution to the RNG boxes problem is simple, but most players will not admit it.

here it is, split the cash shop in 2.

1 – you buy with in-game gold, and as such you have a chance at the skins with RNG.
2 – RMOT (real money only transaction) to get the skins you like, directly w/o the RNG.

seeing as these skins are all cosmetic, there is no pay 2 win issue at all, but making people pay real money and still use the RNG is bad really bad.

It’s the way the Cash Shop works that is to blame for these stupid RNG boxes.

just admit it and change the cash shop already.

you need either 2 currencies for the CS or the ability to make items only purchasable with RMOT= real money only transaction.

There it is A.net.

The Boxes, Chest, Coffers etc that they make people buy with money (i.e, you can only get RICH coffers for Cash) are imo a huge scam. The drop rates in them are still terrible. They should have other contents that the normal coffers don’t have. More minipets, different skins, etc etc. I think ArenaNet is being abit greedy with them, but people keep buying them.

See if they put stuff in those coffers that other coffers don’t have, THEN they’d be even more greedy. At least this way people who don’t spend money have a chance at weapon skins.

But everything is purely asthtetic so it wouldn’t cause an imbalance. So i think it’s fine if people want to pay for things like that

They still need to put new skins in the game for people who don’t want to pay too…because in this game, winning is getting cool looking stuff. lol

the solution to this kitteng RNG problem is simple but most players will not agree with it.

Zelkovan.2630:

This topic is mainly to debate and discuss about people’s attitudes towards the current state of the game (PvE wise). So keep it clean guys~

In GW2, there exists a trinity of control, support, and DPS. Currently, both control and support are near useless while DPS reigns king. This is due mainly to poor mob AI and bosses containing the Defiant/Unshakable buffs. Because of this, control mechanics (knockdowns, stuns, fears, etc) are virtually useless as a target can ignore it. There is a purpose to this, however, as it is to make sure control does not become too powerful (knocking bosses down over and over again) however because this buff is so strong, control is currently under-powered and not even close to being up to par.

Likewise, support is also lacking in that it is most often not worthwhile to pursue due to heal scaling being somewhat lackluster and boon duration also being quite lackluster.

As a result, DPS in this game is the strongest and has little risk associated with it. Sure, you are less tanky and more squishier, but using the dodge mechanic a player can easily keep themselves alive (a group managed to kill lupi in 40 seconds…that really shouldn’t be possible). Because support and control are most of the time useless and due to mob’s not bothering to dodge any abilities DPS is the strongest role to go as it contains more strengths than weaknesses. Period.

What do you all think of the current PvE meta? What would you do to improve it and what would you like to see? Me personally, I think Defiant/unshakable needs to be reworked so that control is actually useful in dungeons, while buffing support gear/abilities. Currently the game is way too favorable towards DPS builds in that they can very easily do everything with little risk and just completely tear through mobs.

defiant buff was an easy temporary fix imo

they need to make control viable again, and it’s not that difficult CC immunity bar
as the boss is CC’ed it fills up and when full the boss cannot be cc’ed for a set time.
the stronger the CC the more it fills the bar.

see, it’s the opposite of defiant and it works, while keeping the CC control spec still viable.
This is how swtor did cc control in pvp so kudos to them, though they never did balance it properly.

What is free about it…I pay money for gems and the kitten box. The only thing that is permanent for me is my visa bill…

You pay by choice, not a requirement.

Yes, but the sooner they realize it is wrong to make people pay and still lock the thing behind RNG the sooner their player base will grow and stick with the game.

1400+ hours here, or check my raptr for specific.

where is that never heard that one before.

Lambent.6375:

However, there is something for people who like challenge, the monocle will only be available to the people who complete the new living story dungeon, among other things. (well, kinda, they have a random chance of getting it)

I will be repeating the crap out of this dungeon till I get my monocle for my main and a 2nd one to sell for big cash

Stormcrow.7513:

How many gems is the armor?

probably 800 gems like the current ones used to be at launch.

Arkham Creed.7358:

Oh for the love of……. -sighs-

People complain about everything being in RNG boxes and demand more items be sold directly in the gem store, and now that we have a new skin in the gem store people complain about that. Seriously sometimes I’m glad Arena Net just seems to ignore half of the people on these forums.

I second this ^^ you can’t please everyone but seriously come on people wht ?
at least they didn’t lock it behind stupid RNG boxes.

They should just do the same with weapons already

alcopaul.2156:

Come to WvWvW and laugh at those zerker people.

we’re talking PVE sir,
of course going into WvW with zerker gear is a moronic idea imo, unless you plan to hang back and nuke only from a far all the time.

Current meta game for yah

Full beserker armor and accessories no matter the class you run, well except for guardians they are heavily focused on support as a class , learn to dodge and play smart.

anything else is as of current game mechanics detrimental and under performing.

Except world bosses are not raids !
the word raid, has many negative connotations but as already known by the majority
guild wars 2 will be introducing there own version of RAIDING.

what we can expect, I do not know, what I do know is this it won’t be wow style raiding as that is the kind of raiding most people actually hate.

I do hope it keeps the difficulty and challenge aspect of the traditional raids

There are some things that urk me about you.

RNG is one of them.

This just hit my twitter, this is big news for guild wars 2.
Guild Wars 2 is coming to ESL

just fix the dam RNG and its all good
