Guild Wars 2

This isn’t gw1. I think that should be blatantly obvious by now.

Healix.5819:

It’s a luxury item and not meant for everyday use. They don’t want everyone to suddenly extract all their upgrades rather than buy them. That would only lead to a market crash and a loss of another gold sink.

Eventually however, there’ll probably be a lot more uses for it. There’ll probably be ascended runes and sigils by next year, which will probably be crafted, account bound and cost a lot. Legendary runes and sigils are also a possibility (swap between any rune/sigil), which I imagine would cost a lot more than 20g. For now though, I’m guessing the only valued use is on the laurel and agony infusions.

This person said what I was trying to, but I’m not nearly as eloquent or patient as he/ she is.

This.

Malediktus.9250:

That is in the eye of the beholder. To people like me who have hundreds of unused laurels I would just spend more laurels instead of 25g. There is not much useful to do with laurels anyway if you already have full ascended jewelry.

Well luckily unless you want to use them, or see that value as worth it, you don’t have to buy them.

Malediktus.9250:

Are you kidding Lilith Ajit.6173? An extractor costs 25g worth of gems currently. A rune of divinity is worth ~10g. You should redo your math or is loosing 15g worth of resources “worth it” to you?

Okay, rune of divinity. What about the other 5 valid examples I gave? Are 20 laurels worth it?

Kindly chill your antagonism.

All that’s missin in this post is a necroed dev post from robert a year ago. That would have really summed up this week (Read: 1 day) nicely.

check the main dungeon page again, thread about soulbound runes in dungeons just got necro’d

We’re only missing a “zerker sucks, magi gear ftw!!11!!” thread, I think.

Bro, my masterwork cleric gear is better than Magi. Geez.

I get very quick service. Others say they get bad service. So… Not sure? Haha

“Fractured”? Do you mean fractals?

Also, like I said, you can use it on runes and sigils, and there are sigils that might be worth using this on, despite the price.

All infusions aren’t just agony. Karma, magic find, wvw, things bought with laurels that one might not want to lose.

Also the special forge infusions that gave added stats and agony.

Runes of divinity, sigils of generosity, those are worth using it on. The infusions are definitely worth it.

I posted two posts in game bugs and general discussion last week. No response, no one cares. The runes will remain soulbound.

Then don’t buy it or use it.

I’m just fed up with this whole “oh we got a new thing!” “ITS IN THE GEM STORE ANET IS THE DEVIL!”

An extractor is a good idea. Whether it’s meant to be used on runes sigils or infusions, we don’t know, but it’s possible we get an upgrade that it is worth using on. It’s worth buying to me. If I ever need to get my infusions out of my rings or back piece. What it does is give me options for builds. So I don’t have to spend 20 laurels on another infusion, wasting the one I have if I want different stats.

It’s a thing that people wanted for runes and sigils, sure, but it was a really big deal for the high agony infusions. Those things can cost tons of gold. Thousands even, and if you want to upgrad the one you have, the gem price of this item helps.

I posted this but I deleted it thinking Grimm understood the question when I didn’t.

If you’re looking to make the exotic celestial inscription that you need to make the wupwup ascended inscription, you need to buy that recipe from the TP. It’s fairly cheap, like a silver I think.

If this isn’t what you need sorry!

It’s not meant to be bought with gold. That’s one thing I think should be clear.

LordByron.8369:

I can agree with anything except the last sentence…
Something can and should be done…

There was a time when ele was autokick….

I kick eles. Because IM THE ONLY ELE THAT MATTERS MUAHAHAHAHAHA.

But no really. I only let eles in my group if I’m using a different class. XD. I’m sure multiples are useful, but I prefer to not do multiple.

ALSO let me clarify, I don’t kick eles. Or anyone, based on class, I just don’t party with them.

Well, I have an Asura for almost every class. They all have their back stories. But the main thing is always make the Asura the smartest, the kitteniest, and the most amazing.

My new Asura Mesmer is super fun, though. I love the sword animations on the Asura!

The necro looks like a child vampire, and I’m scared when I look at her. Haha. I can update with screens of them later

Dude…. We asked for this. PEOPLE SAID THEYD BUY IT FROM THE GEM STORE. so anet obliged. I wish people would stop complaining about what anet is selling, and be happy about the fact that they are actually listening rather than make it into some big deal about the gem store.

God kitten kitten kittens

D:<

Honestly the light t3 Asura can fit any of them, using the right color, scheme. It’s nice that the armor just screams “Asura” and not any particular class.

The human t3 heavy does seem to fit a guard more. Warriors are killing machines, guardians are more the blessed protectors, which is why I think the armor matches them more.

This is my ele, but you can imagine the pink being red, blue, or any color associated with the elements, and green would make a lovely necro, and purple for a gorgeous Mesmer. It’s all about what you do with it.

I don’t think the normal warrior pug wants his gameplay any more complex. Not saying they aren’t out there, but I think the majority likes how simple it is.

I thought that pve armor and pvp armor was going to be made equal soon (but I really know nothing about pvp, but there was a blogpost about this sort of thing).

Good week, guys, good week.

And it’s only Tuesday.

Now i can finnaly swap my 20% Gold Bonus Infusion with 20% Magic Find one.

Thank you Anet.

Now I get it. I actually came to this forum to ask what I was missing with the extractors. I’ve been meaning to move a set of rune of the traveler to another character but in no way, form or shape could I justify using the extractors since the price would be higher than simply buying another set of runes. You know what they say, two travelers traverse more than one.

Really didn’t understand who the target audience for these were, now I do. They’re for timegated laurel gear. Which makes sense. I’m somewhat disappointed, I had hoped they were going to be on the cheap side (if they were 50 gems I’d buy them in bulk, now I’ll just buy new runes instead) but even this implementation is awesome. I wouldn’t want to destroy my 20 laurel amulet infusion either.

Thank you anet, this adds player choice. Which is fantastic.

It’s really nice that they took one of the suggestions and made it a thing. It’s always awesome ^.^ (The upgrade extractor, mobile trait reset, these are all things that were asked for in suggestions or game discussion)

Haha oh god that’s marvelous.

Also Chris, you said that you would be thinking on the whole Fractal reset thing (to Romo quite a few pages ago). Can those of us who are interested in that particular response expect to see something about it in this thread or will it be brought up in a separate one?

Thanks!

Exceptionally clever. I can’t believe no one thought of that.

(Ps. And now my hope fades like the setting sun.)

Are you interested in NA or EU?

For pvp, NA Anvil Rock i hear is the main pvp server. Iirc.

Suggestion: make all armor usable as town clothes. However, if light armored characters use heavy armors, they get an encumbered or RP walk. If heavy armored use light, they sort of float, really slow, at the same speed as RP walk. It would be hilarious. I’d love it.

Hehehe

Cynz.9437:

so after doing some more runs and asking people around it seems like everyone is getting skins and ascended boxes between lv 19-29

not only our level got reduced to 30 after patch, all the work to get to lv 50 (again lol) is for nothing?

It’s all in vain. You know.

They’re currently discussing that exact thing in the thread I posted. You really ought to at least read the last couple pages.

Is it fair to say that regarding Ascended Gear we would like to see more ways to earn it and in terms of drop rates, a higher percentage chance of acquiring them through this method?

Chris

Yes, that is totally what we want.

Not entirely all of us. I personally prefer the timesink aspect involved in getting the set. Without it it won’t be long before people start demanding the next set to come along because they have nothing left to shoot for now. Keep the timesink, add flexibility so that the time spent becomes more rewarding instead of feeling punishing for going after a set you didn’t ultimately want or no longer do want due to a change of build.

Well for me, I either have it dropped or I don’t get it. I’m not wasting my time playing parts of the game I dislike so I can craft armor (or weapons). I did the weapon thing, but I found that it was more tedious than anything and ruined my fun for a good 2 weeks. I’d rather play my fractals, and not have to farm world bosses or wvw to get the dragonite. No thanks. That’s why drops would make me happier. Regardless of the stats, if all I need is more AR I’ll use whatever drops when it is needed.

So what if you were able to get fractals related ascended gear for pristine fractal relics for example? Not just back pieces, but whole sets, weapons included? It would still take awhile but your dedication to Fractals would have definite goals in sight as well.

Well, yeah. If they made an ascended version of dungeon armors too, I would do that absolutely. But if our options are: drops or craft, for me, drops is what I’d prefer.

I love the idea of actually, reliably, being able to get ascended gear from doing fractals. But they haven’t given us amulets or accessories. I just don’t think they will do armor or weapons. But I can hope I guess.

just messing around. :P

Aw! Haha oh well.

This thread has returned some hope I had lost. Kudos.

Norn thief? That’s an interesting one. I would like to hear a backstory, roz!

Things I love: playing gw1 and going into the presearing catacombs, and then playing gw2 going into AC.

I love the Easter eggs. I also thought that anet did a really excellent job preserving the aesthetics from gw1.

You can delete all of your characters and it will prompt you to switch worlds. Make sure you get any important stuff into your bank

YAY I R FUNNY

On topic: there are too many numbers in this thread.

Ugh SE 2…… Nearly rage quit that one as everyone in my party was in mumble making jokes and not paying attention to those stupid golems. I think we accidentally succeeded. Happy accidents.

I am also a TC player. I can attest that it is very nice, and that it is female friendly. TC has a lot of chatter in map in LA mainly because it’s a very social server. However, the first day I was considering a transfer from Maguuma, I guested on TC and there were some terribly rude trolls. The people there assured me that this was not the norm, and they weren’t lying. I’m pretty sure those trolls were punished because I have not seen them since.

I think it really depends on what you like most in the game. If your main thing is WvW I would stay on Blackgate. TC has great WvW but I think Blackgate takes it more seriously. If you’re interested in all aspects of the game, I don’t think anyone could go wrong with TC, as long as they don’t hate RP with a passion.

I’d love it if this happened. Someone mentioned this in the CDI topic, and I think the dev said they were looking into it. I suggest putting stuff like this into that thread, as it will get more attention and might actually be implemented.

i got 2 skins after patch…. the drop rate is ridicilous low compared to prepatch

Well, they’re dropping like flies in 10-19 (see several Fractured! Threads). Which leads me to believe something screwy is going on. Before not a single person said they ever got a skin in that level. Now they say it was always super rare, and the patch has made more and more people get them in that level range.

Final rest, all over again, I think.

maybe because more ppl run 10-19 compared to 41-49?

That was the case before patch too.

They didn’t get skins before patch. They are now. Things have changed. That can’t be debated.

You exchange your soul bound tools for account bound by un equipping them and bringing them to the black lion weapon specialist.

That’s at the top of the LA TP if you didn’t know

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying. I have a priory warrior with vigil armor.

It’s not about having things handed to us. It’s about the amount of effort for heavy armor versus light armor to be the same. (And for the cost to at least be comparable) which it isn’t at the moment….

You really should be less antagonistic. You can’t say that there isn’t a very wide disparity.

I feel like humans fit with all of them. I dint know though!

Sylvari necromancers make a lot of sense to me. They’re all about growing and living, so their art makes anything live.

Asura elementalists also makes sense. I can see some Magitech and eternal alchemy being involved in their art.

Norn rangers, but you said it already

Charr engineers just…. I don’t know how to explain it. They’re a really steampunk race.

Race professions combos I think are totally absurd:

Charr elementalists (what?)

Norn mesmers (double what?)

Sylvari engineers

Disclaimer: these are just my opinions! So please no angry posts on why you like your charr ele hehe. I’m sure they’re great.

shrug

I don’t really care how you perceive it. I was just pointing out why people are upset about it, and that it is reasonable.

The ingots could have also been made before the release, which made them cheaper and more readily available. I get that the armors are different. It just sucks to be a light armor wearer. You can’t say that isn’t true. :P

Taku.6352:

Some exotics with certain stats are account bound, but precursors will never be. Fractal skins are a whole different story.

This.

The account bound weapons and armors (Armageddon armors and tribal weapons) have stats that are different from others in the game. They are account bound. Exotics that are not apart of these sets will not be account bound.

Fractal weapons you get from daily chests, that pop up on the side of your screen.
