Guild Wars 2

Unsure but since you can have infused and not infused why not go for infused-attuned and just attuned?

Jahroots.6791:

I’m definitely tired of all the long coats and butt capes, but Braham’s new outfit is one trench coat that kicks kitten. This one was really well designed. It’s rugged yet a bit stylish and fits most races’ forms well. Even satisfies the demand for revealing male armour while maintaining a masculine look. I dig it.

to bad it was an outfit tho

MrWubzy.3587:

I’d be all for it if it couldn’t be exploited in some way. It’d sure be a nice way to get your guildmates into JPs.

Well you would have to fill the chests up yourself I recon.

You could always sell/upgrade them from blue/green to yellow and not get luck aswell.

Edit
I mean if its really that much of a burden.

You dont see other eaters spit out the currency they eat so what would be the reward for the luck eater when blue/green items cant be in the list?

Edit2
Wonder when someone will ask for a sigil and rune eater.

Blaeys.3102:

I have no issue whatsoever with Legendary Armor acquisition being restricted (because, by the time you make one set, chances are you could have made dozens of ascended sets for less), but as far as being able to stat swap, there is definitely utility outside of raids – specifically moving between PVE and WvW (but again, it really is a non issue, imo).

We get it you dont think its an issue, others do hence this thread.
I would use it.
Am I jumping through hoops to get it in a game mode I dont like no Im not.

jinfury.9504:

Or just delete all green/yellow sigils and runes form the game. They are useless anyway even for leveling…

I like to upgrade my runes/sigils so your welcome to mail them to me mate.

Well eu cant join na so thats why those friends cant join anyway.

yea 16 copper thats 5 free salvages with the copper fed mate.

Dont change this just becouse some cant stand to go to a merchant when they are cleaning out their bags.

Edit
Could always do the ecto gamble and get the carry around forge to upgrade greens to yellow then salvage aswell.

AuTomA.2459:

Seera.5916:

And how do you know it’s a bot and not just a series of other random players who just happened to post a bid right after you? The TP is global after all.

I have no proof that it’s not a bot, but you also don’t have enough evidence to say it is a bot.

All you can do is report instances you think are botters and let ANet look at the evidence. And realize that ANet bans botters in waves to reduce the chances of them figuring out what got them caught so that they make their macros better and avoid detection.

well,on 200 items all of 200 items for 18 hours straight got overbid 1c insta everytime

If it’s not a bot then it’s Jesus and i guess it really exists afterall.

considering anyone can access tp from anywere your batteling with the whole player base not just 1 person 200 item aint much if its a good flip source alot of other flippers have found it aswell.

Nothing since you shouldent fake your Li i got zero btw

Ofcourse they should add in so you can get map completion with reward tracks in spvp/wvw.

1 for each region that can be completed as many times there are map in those regions 3 for Orr as an example.

But then everyone should get reward tracks in spvp/wvw/owpve for the legendary armor aswell

We killed 2 1 at end of base game story 1 at end of expansion.

Would guess we get 2 in next unless they do a starcraft 2 and split up the expansion

It can just be that we are used to the old legendaries and these are new aswell, I dont see the need for change just keep up the good work by adding more weapons Anet

have fun mate will prob work during wintersday

Ohoni.6057:

I like this last one, the idea of making entirely different boss encounters. That’s a good idea.

No, not entirely different, just “easy/hard.” So maybe instead of Escort there would be a hard boss fight, which raiders would find comparable to a Gorseval or Slothazor, but there would be an easy version of it too, whcih would be doable by less focused parties. Or, they could leave Escort in, but also have a harder version of it that again even serious raiders would find challenging, to complement the easy mode versions being added for other encounters. The idea would be that all the hard mode encounters would be hard, and all the easy mode ones would be easy.

Yea we need dechallenge motes in raids already, anet have showed they can do the opposite with fractals.

Time to twist it around in raids.

Well since alot of player seem to buy them they continue to make em, if less people bought them then it cost to produce they wouldent.

No its not at this time

bulauchenka.5382:

I have more then 1kk karma.
Do fractals with karma food its fun n easy) as an option 40 farm(not fun).
Do EOTM trains with good AOE professions as ele / necro / ranger.

well 1.000.000 aint that much mate goes pretty fast if you buy the karma skins.

What level is the max char on your account?

All the map features dont open up untill your 18 with your first one I belive it was then anyway.

And you can go through each of the starting zones on any race

Then get a console mate

ProtoGunner.4953:

Stat swap will be for nothing since you still keep the runes in your armors and they need to be overwritten. So who overwrites runes all the time, especially if they are like 10g?

the casuals who cant get it will use it since they dont care if the runes they use aint optimal 100% of the time

Zackie.8923:

This is a travesty.

Considering that guards are the most iconic class to wield the shield, the flameseeker being a light theme weapon has no effect update for the guard is mind boggling.

at least give us an effect like our shield 5 bubble has a surround of flameseeker books or something

I would say warrior is the most iconic class with guardian second mate

Perfect instead of armors we now have outfits and combat tonics yay

well we only had one expansion I would call this a update or addition mate

havent seen it on either necro or warrior havent played the others today

Yes but what skills every skill in game got cool downs except skill 1 on each weapon.

maybe you should specify what cooldowns your talking about

I will say the patch will hit when its ready

Yes legendary weapons dont have unlock sigil so we have no reason to expect that armor would have that for runes

nagr.1593:

But “I don’t want you to have what I want because I only want people who do things my way to have it” is an even more selfish position. I don’t think self-interest should be a disqualifying factor. If there are two people, and one person says “I want what I want,” and the other says “I don’t want you to have what you want,” then the latter is the more selfish of the two.

Then you are the latter one. You refused to let me have what I wanted to ask for, even if u had it. You more or less told me "I don’t want u to have what u want (bc its mine, u can’t have it!). So whos the more selfish one here, me bc I wanted something, or u telling me I couldn’t have it?

if everyone can have what they want, what’s the point of playing the game anymore.

Well that already applies to the game. blah blah

Stopped reading after ur first errenous statement, literally ur first words.
Reason: you refuse to give me what I want. I don’t care that it’s yours, u never specified what were the limitations to what u could wish for. I want what I want, the only person denying me this is you, Ohoni. gimme my precursor, and ill side with u on this

I also want a statue of me erected in the middle of LA, doesn’t mean I’m gonna get it. Unless u want to convince me otherwise?

but the element you dislike ARE part of the raid. remove them, and you just have a 10 men dungeon…But if you want a 10 men dungeon, fine, you’ll have the same dungeon reward then (exotic and no better).

That’s a nonsensical arbitrary rule that you insist upon because you want to horde the rewards for yourself (and for people exactly like you). There’s absolutely no reason for that restriction.

His rule is sensible and uses logic to prove his point, whereas urs is worse than arbitrary as it is a straw man argument that even u don’t even intend seriously. Com’on even if urs is essentially a tin foil hat argument, even u don’t (can’t) believe in what ur saying.

Ohoni, ill give counter to this, pls I don’t want to world completion just for craft legendary, it takes hours and hours and I’m sick of it. Provide alternate way or let me ‘buy’ world completion with tokens or w/e

Sure. If it were within my power to grant you that, I would, and I have always encouraged the developers to provide those options.

I guess by now ur used to things flying over ur head, since this one sure does

But if u hand me 6 diff precursors, ill accept ur argument and take ur side. I do really want them so I can sell thm to make profit, u should send it to me for this reason alone.

You’re making an argument that I should hand you something of mine because you want it. That doesn’t have anything to do with the argument I’m making, because I’m not suggesting taking anything away from anyone.

You’re over thinking this.. I want what I want, so I should have it. Isn’t that ur whole argument word for word? I never mentioned or made any argument. I only asked for something, and by doing so only used urs against u.

So u are arguing with yourself now.

So what again are you loseing by having a easier mode that other players can complete?
This whole reply yours is just a silly derail to get thread locked am I right?

U still have your normal mode that you dont have trubble to complete already and can continue to play.

Me and Ohoni never asked you to provide us with said easy raid did we, so why are you asking them to give you precursors?

Edit I agree with the last mate you are argueing for the sake of argueing right?

Vayne I havent touched raids and it havent helped at all.
So not sure if keep handing money over for what we dont want is the solution.

Well all helms shave heads and chins in this game its how it is.
Be glad they dont cut your ears or horns off like other races.

Hypairion.9210:

I know perfectly well how to play my class my way not as the meta battle way that your pigonholed into by raid enrage timers.

Any combination of classes should be able to clear raids like you can do in all the other content in this game.
Would be fun to see 10 mesmers do it.

and you’re wrong, sorry to inform you that raids are mean to be challenging. if any combinaison of classes (with actual balance) could beat it, then it would not be challenging. Maybe you have to accept that some people have to right to have a challenging content? you can play whatever you want in all other part of the game after all. I still don’t understand people like you refusing to play with the group and for the group. Maybe you should play a solo game…

and i’m sure 10 mesmers could beat some boss or event in raid.

Oh I wasent talking about beating one boss I was talking about clearing all the raid wings.

So how do having a copy paste raid of the current that instead of 100% that are 50% maybe even 25% then give the same % in rewards.
You will still have your challenge 100% raid and can clear it as long as you want.

Just that other people can clear at their pace and get the rewards over a longer span of time.

Tweaking numbers and extending timers to 30mins 45mins etc aint as challenging as the alternative you want them doing a whole new armor skin and some other way to get it in spvp, wvw or open world.

Only reason you want that from what I can see is you want others to wait 1-2 years if ever to get the same legendary armor that you can get as soon as they hit for raids.

Hypairion.9210:

Linken.6345:

Ok Since your offering I will tag along with my celestial arms/tactics/berserker warrior and clear said raids easy right?

you can raid with that if you want, look at my posts i’m not talking about CLEARING raid, i’m talking about raiding. You see the difference? you can raid, but you won’t probably succeed. But that’s just because raids are group contents and if you prefer to play your special snowflake build, that’s up to you ^^

if you want easy clear, first you’ll have to learn how to raid and how to play your class in a group content. But all raiders went through that you know. Why the situation should be different for you? are you special?

I know perfectly well how to play my class my way not as the meta battle way that your pigonholed into by raid enrage timers.

Rebs.8402:

Hey guys, I’ve searched all I can with the help of google but cannot find any answer to my question, hence I thought I’d pose it here.. maybe someone knows :-).

With the HoT expansion pack on 50% sale at the moment my fingers are just itching to get it because of the miniature revenant Rytlock (gosh, I do love him so). What with the other added bonuses it entails such as the HoT glider and the additional character slot it seems to be too good a deal to miss – despite the fact that I already own the expansion.

Hence if I buy it, it would be nice to get as much as possible out of it.. it includes a max-level boost, which I presume is deposited into a shared bag slot such as the previous one was after the orginal game was made ftp.

Question: If I buy HoT again, will I get another boost or is it only possible to own one?

Bonus question: If it is only possible to own one, would using the max-level 80 boost before buying allow me to receive a second one?

Thanks so much in advance!
Rebs

You cant add a second hot copy into your hot account, but you can buy the deluxe upgrade for gems to get the mini extra char slot etc.
And you get 1 lvl 80 boost only untill they add another one in future expansions maybe.

Edit

You can buy and make a totaly new account tho to get login daily rewards/daily two times if you like.

Hypairion.9210:

You were the one that insisted there was a valid reason to prevent easy mode raids from having access to the rewards of hard mode raids, but you cannot back up your position. I can’t refute a position that doesn’t actually exist. If it’s just your general opinion that easy mode raids should never get access to hard mode rewards then. . . I disagree.

of course you disagree, you want free legendary armor after all. But since you cannot provide any objective argument, your positions are really weak and can be resumed as : i want it, so i have to have it.

Yes, you can, and this has been true of almost every form of training in human history.

So prove it. For having participing in a number of teaching run in raid here, i can tell you that your solution would not help training. Btw, because you don’t want to train, your opinion on this matter is not relevant. You don’t know how to train too…

Not yours to judge. Maybe you don’t pay attention to the raid, but that’s not my problem.

Yes story is a part SO important in raid that after more than 300 LI i still dont know it. Again, you’re just looking for any piece or argument in order to make easy mode available, so that you can have your free rewards.

None of that relates in any way to what I said.

of course it is, you’re the one saying that you can’t raid. I’m telling you that no one except yourself is preventing you from raiding.

Ok Since your offering I will tag along with my celestial arms/tactics/berserker warrior and clear said raids easy right?

maddoctor.2738:

That’s it, that is my ONLY motivation relative to this discussion. Anything else is addressing positions that you have taken.

Take a look at the OP. Relevant parts:

he first tier could be as difficult as the Vanilla Dungeons and serve as an introduction to Raids for people that are completely new. The second tier could be as difficult as T3 or T4 Fractals and could serve as the daily-running for rewards by casual, but comfortable people. The third tier would then have the original difficulty and would serve as the weekly run with full rewards and progression towards Legendary armor.

and

Tiers could be distinguished not only in difficulty but also in the rewards and progression you get to specific things. For an example, doing Tier 1 would give you a certain currency that you can convert into a currency of Tier 2 and so forth. The weekly cap from Tier 3 would not apply on the lower tiers, giving more room for advanced players to farm Raids more often and still get all the rewards they want.

Now go read my first post on the subject which was NOT addressed to you at all:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/A-Suggestion-For-Raids/page/4#post6404781

He asks for a dungeon difficulty content as an easy mode Raid. Check.
He asks for that content to give the same rewards as raids (in general, including ascended gear, legendary armor etc, no distinction). Check.
Dungeon difficulty is below T3 fractals. Check.

He wants a lower difficulty content to award higher quality rewards than current content. In a similar way he could’ve asked, hey now that you are adding the Tower of Nightmares as a Fractal, make it so it gives far superior rewards to all the other Fractals, like a T1 Tower gives better rewards than T3 Thaumanova, because “reasons”.

So is it my positions or the OP positions? My initial post addressed the OP’s positions not yours.

For an example, doing Tier 1 would give you a certain currency that you can convert into a currency of Tier 2 and so forth. The weekly cap from Tier 3 would not apply on the lower tiers, giving more room for advanced players to farm Raids more often

Yes and you seem to have missed this, OP dont talk about what the convert rate for kitten t2 then finaly to t3 would be.

Lets say as an example you can get 100 in kitten get t2 remove a 0.
t2 you can get 100 and finaly t3 same max as always but remove a 0 so max you would get would be 11 magnenite shards a week.
+ raiders that can do t3 will be able to do t2 and t1 for extra rewards the same week while blasting through it with their premades or help new blood get into t3 in the future.

I see no problem with any of these points you bring up in this post.

Edit
Just read it again and there would be no cap, not sure that would be possible tbh.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

One thing I’d love to have for inventory management. A option on your char’s inventory panel that says: send all masterwork sigils/runes/junk to vendor. Hit this option and all signals/runes/junk leaves your inventory and the vendor value for them arrives in your bank.

would be nice if we could use minis to sell stuff to vendors for us, like in torchlight 2.

Ohoni.6057:

What if the easy mode needed to kill each boss 5-10 times to get the same reward?
Its not like we dont have tiered achievment already so its hard to implement.

Right, that’s my assumption going into this, their exact method would be whatever is easiest and most effective from their point of view, but I would fully expect to have to beat each raid boss many times over in easy mode to accomplish what could be done on one kill in the current version, presumably collecting fragments rather than finished pieces.

I rather just have a achieviement ticking up then 6 more bag slot occupied by helm,gloves,shoulder,chest,leggings and boot fragments tbh

Vinceman.4572:

Linken.6345:

Well if thats all you want why do you deserve a special reward for it?
The content it self is what you were after and enjoy doing right?
So if others want same reward for content they enjoy doing that shouldent be a problem, time to get the devs to release the legendary armor skin and all in all game modes then.

At first, you always need a sort of reward in every game mode in a game otherwise nobody would replay it and the development would be a waste.

Besides actual item rewards you can have a cinematic as reward for example in single player games with a good story, winning in a pure PvP game and climbing up a ladder is also a reward for you effort and in mmos it’s quite usual that you were given items. Even in GW2 PvP is compensating you with rewards.

We’ve already stated that the idea of a legendary armor just for raid player wasn’t their best decision. There should have been at least another PvE armor, I don’t mind if it could be obtained via PvP as well. Sure, with another look but it should be there. Like fractal backpiece vs. PvP backpiece and so on.

Well we are getting somewere are all the raiders willing to wait for the pve armor journey and skin to be finished before releaseing both then?

maddoctor.2738:

Ohoni.6057:

If so, perhaps that is a problem with Fractals, not a problem with my proposed easier raids.

It is a problem with your proposed easier raids. Rewards have some form of balance between different game modes and those other modes have some RNG if you haven’t noticed. You are asking to give them fixed without any of the limitations imposed by the other systems. And for easier content than the other system as well.

But that’s the thing, you would not earn the gear faster through easy mode raid than you would through hard mode, it would take longer. Longer is the opposite of faster.

What does hard mode have to do with anything? It’s completely irrelevant, the easy mode reward system would compete with other content of similar difficulty, for the same rewards, not hard mode raids. That’s what you seem to not understand, or ignore.

What? I stand behind that. Everything is too expensive or behind too much RNG, and there is no reason for easy mode raids to not have them cheap or not behind RNG, although ideally that would be part of an overall move towards making the other sources cheaper and less random.

So wait, instead of fixing the problem, expensive or behind too much RNG, you want to add a NEW way of getting Ascended gear without those problems? Push for an overall change of rewards away of RNG, grind or gold-dependency, that’s fine, why does it have to be in easy mode raids?

Well the envoy armor is for killing all the bosses 1 time right in normal mode?

What if the easy mode needed to kill each boss 5-10 times to get the same reward?
Its not like we dont have tiered achievment already so its hard to implement.

@Vinceman

The thing is, content shouldn’t force players out of their comfort zone. This is entertainment. Yes, one must put some effort in and make minor sacrifices, but it should be enjoyable above all else.

This is most people issue with raiding – there’s some decidedly un-fun factors that are inherent to their design.

That is an opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. You and others might not enjoy the idea of having to adapt to each situation, maybe even take weapons/playstyles you usually don’t enjoy as much, but there are enough people who do enjoy being forced out of their comfort zone, maybe even learning to love a playstyle they hated before. Those are the ones raiding is made for. If you prefer playing whatever the hell you want all the time, sure, that’s cool, but you’re not the targeted audience for raids and you should understand that.

Well if thats all you want why do you deserve a special reward for it?
The content it self is what you were after and enjoy doing right?

vesica tempestas.1563:

conanq.6249:

To be clear, this is not about skins. Please don’t conflate the issue with that aspect.

So, one thing that has concerned(?) me for a while is the utility aspect of legendary armor. The ability to swap stats, without having to go back to the mystic forge, or craft another set, but while you are playing (out of combat obviously). This is a clear advantage in convenience, over all other armor.

But I hear you say, it’s not a big deal, because you’ll still have to swap runes! Two points:

1. If it’s not a big deal then it doesn’t matter if non raid armors have this ability, does it? Because all you guys care about is the skins right? We’ll never change runes anyway because it’s too expensive is the classic comment.
2. What happens when ANet finally get around to solving the rune issue?

Since these armors are currently just prestige items, and skins are the only thing that matters (cause that’s what I’m always told), the armors other feature – i.e. it’s utility function – should not be locked away in raids.

Why does only that game mode get this utility?

the stat swap is the perk of legendary items. Your trying to make this into an issue for raiding when its not related – raiding is merely another source of legendary items (although i believe legendary armor should be achievable by other means.

Only if they give Legendary Weapons through Other means. Right now each game mode sans WvW has at least 1 Legendary exclusive to it, with open world Pve having the biggest monopoly.

Well anyone can do open world pve solo you dont have to relly on 9 other people to be able to make your legendary.

maddoctor.2738:

Linken.6345:

Why do it matter to you, if people want easier mode that take longer to earn the same stuff you get in normal?

Take a look:
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Envoy_Armor_I:_Experimental_Armor

It rewards a full ascended armor set with stats of your choice. Filling the collection if the bosses were T1 fractal difficulty would take approximately ~20 minutes, maybe less.

20 minutes for a full Ascended armor set with stats of your choice. For every player in the game. Why run anything else in the game? Especially anything that is higher difficulty than T1 fractals, like maybe T3/4 Fractals?

This isn’t hurting just Raids, it hurts the entire game.

Wouldent that be perfect now the people who have run the easy mode raid know the encounters and on top of it got the gear needed to run normal raids. Win win

Askadia.4395:

Adding a fixed NPC item to the recipe (like many other recipes require) to keep the prize high is more than enough. There’s no real need to force people make 1 piece per day, because that means that if I can play only on weekends I’m at disadvantage.

well if you cant login for a min to do daily crafting during the week then yes you have less daily materials.

But then again if you only can play on weekends you will have a hard time getting all the other materials needed to craft more then once a day anyway…. You could always buy most of the daily finished materials from the trading post.

“And finally, I don’t much care whether you disagree with me getting Legendary armor through easy mode, because that has nothing to do with you. You get it how you want to get it, you have no say in how others get it, and if your happiness can only come at their expense, then their happiness comes first.”

WTF??!! Really, what is he (Ohoni) on about? I’m lost now, just silly “I want candy but I don’t have to pay for it” kind of mentality. Can we shut this down now?

Ah so getting the candy bars from doing hard stuff in 6 months time compared to doing easier stuff and getting the same candy bars anywere bettwen 9-24 months is for free now?

I want what your smoking mate.

No, not the point I am trying to make. It just seems he wants to have what everyone else gets from doing raids “normal” by doing them in an easy mode. Bit unfair don’t ya think? You want easy mode or training, no problem, but don’t expect to reap the same rewards as those that do it the other way.

Why do it matter to you, if people want easier mode that take longer to earn the same stuff you get in normal?

Is it that some of the whales that pay raiders to be carried through normal will vanish?

Sure I wont say some of them wont vanish but some want rewards fast and will still pay for it some like me for example will never do it.

Havent set foot in the raids yet since Im not a metal battle copy paste kind of player.

Yea most of this amazing idea could be/already are implemented in the pvp system they already have

You have to start the full episode like for example season 3 episode 1 then go to were the chapter in that episode start on the world map for the achievements you want and look for a purple star
