Guild Wars 2

Cheifcaptian Moroni.1629:

Confirmed fixed I got it this morning.

Were Im inside fractal level 27 as I type this no mist geyser

You do know there is a cap on agent of entropy right?

Zephic.3075:

Agree on the fractals, most are easy. I haven’t seen triple trouble being done in a long while, but admittedly it may be just the hours that I play.

yea tt only spawn 6 timse each 24 hours so

Amaimon.7823:

Please tell WHERE the difficulty lies, because I unlocked it all in one go when it was released (well, save the exp grind, which i mostly got from fractals)

Yea been playing said game for 3 years before masteries I had 48-50 points when the system came.

I wonder what have you other people been doing? playing the tradepost?

Nightcore.5621:

No i dont accept that.

And new things need something new to be able to sell better, hence why someones old car aint automaticly upgraded to the new model every year either.

Vacheron.9870:

Most of my gold are from gem exchange when it was 4.5k gems for 1k gold. I bought like 2.5k usd of gems that week. Had I farmed the 40k gold I’d never have gambled lol. I know how time consuming it is to farm gold in this game. But it doesn’t matter now because I lost it all.

And here people complain that 50 bucks is to much for the expansion I will just refer them to this thread.

Puged all the way to 98 with no problem, might be becouse Im a condi necro tho

He will if he purchases LS2. Same with HoT and Season 3 (and any gliding whatsoever), which he said he had no problem purchasing. He won’t get ‘1’, if you mean Season 1, but, of course, will have access to the Personal Story (if that’s what you mean by ‘1’).

I think this is a bit of putting the cart before the horse. One probably should not worry about all the added content before experiencing the Core, for a smoother gaming experience. There’s no rush; several months until we even get another (major) update to the story/game.

But essentially he doesn’t get 3/4th of the game… And he bought it! He’s at F2P level!

Sure s/he will be ftp level when they cant talk in mapchat, cant sell anything but basic mats on the tp.
Only have 3 bag slots on each character slots and only 2 character slots total.

So big hint s/he will never be on a ftp level having bought the base game.

Vinceman.4572:

Since you don’t need AR for the first levels + you are introduced via panel when entering and npcs explaining stuff I still don’t think it is necessary to let others see your AR.

It’s also higlighted in orange with big letters of “Suggested Agony Resistance” if your AR is lower than the required numbers.
Additionally, when entering the color of every level is yellow on the panel if you aren’t bringing the amount of AR needed. It also is in the upper right corner in the lobby.

Almost every player with level 80 heard about fractals before starting or was introduced by a guild including a rudimentary explanation of AR. I cannot really imagine people go fully blind into fracs above lvl 20 and being astonished that they die.

From all the other experienced ones we can expect reasonable actions and while this is common sense there almost are no problems with players lacking AR. I never had a player that took a wrong char because he forgot that there isn’t the required gear on this one. Sounds rather funny than realistic.

In the end, I strongly believe it is not necessary that you have to supervise 4 players as a leader of a guild group with the things I stated above. Especially if you take guildies with you you can simply ask what is standing in their upper right corner when you all meet in the lobby. Again a matter of seconds.

Well good that there are no leaders in 5 man groups anymore then.
+ as you say its already visible the ar and if your to low when going to fractal portal.

I would think we should see the bone pick around halloween

DGraves.3720:

Linken.6345:

Well then s/he is in luck they get a brand new game for free since they bought it 3+ years ago and havent seen the total revamp

Complete with nerfed Arah and Cursed Shore!

Well since OP played what 2-3 days they dont know how it was before so no loss there.

laokoko.7403:

I know you lost a lot of money from ecto investment.

But making a post about ecto gambling won’t bump up the price.

Some day, some patch, ecto price will rise. Don’t worry about it.

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw who made the thread.

Sinister I would think

Paulytnz.7619:

If you have the time to play then yes it’s worth coming back. There would be a ton of content for you even if you don’t buy the expansion so why not?

Most newer and more intense content de facto demands the new classes. Raiding as “core” classes will be significantly more difficult for example.

Well being that the player only played 2 days after buying the game I would say raiding would be far off for him/her. Besides that fact, there would still be a ton he/she could do even without the expansion as I stated.

But to reply specifically to what you wrote I have to say that would be a matter of personal choice as well. I have all classes at 80 with world complete and all stories done. Of course I have HOT and it’s only on about 4 or 5 of the classes that I use the Elite Specs.

I main Engi and don’t use it for if I do I lose either survivability or mobility/speed just for a small bonus of extra damage (+6 might basically on top of my typical +6 might before procs enter play). So on that class, for me not worth the loss. But like I said – player personal choice and the game is perfectly playable without HOT.

Without HoT he doesn’t even get the option to play Revenant.
Without HoT he doesn’t get any of the new ascended combinations.
Without HoT he will not have suitable endgame since that lies in HoT and slightly beyond for LS3 right now.

HoT brings a lot to the table. Not that jumping in again is impossible but you won’t get the most out of the game without really doing so since Core suffers from many of the limitations it did 4 years ago only now there are nerfs that really don’t jive well with someone who has any previous experience since the whole system has literally been revamped from the ground up and plays completely differently from it’s previous iterations.

Basically if would be like he bought it all over again. <3

Well then s/he is in luck they get a brand new game for free since they bought it 3+ years ago and havent seen the total revamp

if your good enough and want to take the time you could do it.

But since alot of other persons may want to do it why not put up a lfg.

Newbie run watching movies.

So OP did you sell or still holding on to them?

No to both and its against the rules to dubble post, I see the same thread in player helping player section

RustyPig.9758:

I have bought the original GW2 game and if i buy the HoT expansion, will i get money refund?

No you wont get any money refunded, the cost of hot is 50$ or 25 if sale is still going.

Malediktus.9250:

Linken.6345:

I want a higher chance to get the Amber Quantic Dipole and higher tier ones that would make me run lower ones alot more to get the minis

The low droprate on that one is good, as soon as you raise it by any noticeable amount, the dipole will become worthless.
Dont fool yourself, if the price would be cheap, you would buy it because then your excuse is “it is cheap, so why should i farm it myself”

You dont know me, I farm stuff thats what I do even if its cheap.

Gives me a goal but I havent seen 1 drop yet going 1-20 3 times + when ever there is dailys in that braket

I want a higher chance to get the Amber Quantic Dipole and higher tier ones that would make me run lower ones alot more to get the minis

Arthas.1074:

Timegates are horrible gamedesign.

would more call it skill gate to get the mobs inside green circles.

Moyayuki.3619:

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Moriaelini.5086:

I am having this same issue none of the things I do in the new content are making this bar progress…it is very frustrating!

Have you unlocked Masteries in the first place? Have you selected Gliding Mastery as the track you wish to work on?

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mastery#Mastery_track

Good luck.

One of their issues may also be that, unless you are doing Meta events in the HoT maps, most XP you gain will not make any dent in the bar, so it sometimes feels like nothing is being gained. I’ll do world bosses and get practically nothing (I wish XP would scale at that point, honestly).

Well you wouldent get anything from the world bosses for the hot masteries so no wonder it dont give any dent

DoctorDing.5890:

I now have a useless infusion that used to be in my amulet and my amulet needs a new infusion of some sort. The new infusion vendor converter thing is beyond confusing. Not sure why this stuff needed changing tbh.

that you can sell to said infusion vendor to get all the fractal relics spent on it returned.

QikSilvr.4690:

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

daddyattitude.3928:

I am confused about the change in the amulet slot from infusion to enrichment. If you were going to change the slot(s), why did you not convert or offer an enrichment device to fill it. Thanks for putting me in a lower class for fractals after I spent HOURS in FOTM to get where I was.

1. You need fewer +1 infusions now than before, so…
2. Breaking down existing infusions and rebuilding them will result in you being at the same AR or better.

The same “enrichments” are still available: +MF, +Gold Find, +XP/kill, +karma. You got your infusion returned, so you can convert it to whatever you want/need.

I already have several +7 infusions which I can’t seem to place on the amulet. I am not sure how to use the infusion I already have to keep from spending more gold. Please instruct about this. What does enrichment mean anyway? Is it the kind we craft or just those bought at the vendor?

You are right you cant use the +7 infusion in said amulet anymore hence why you got it back in mail.

You can however use magic find, gold, exp or karma bought from laurel vendor in Lions Arch for example.

And you can 9 infusions in armor, weapon and jewelery now so you dont lose ar you actualy can boost it further while getting extra attributes since rings/ earrings can now have 2 stat boost infusions instead of 1 each

Rashy.4165:

Shadowmoon.7986:

Raid have been out for 8 months, and the grand carrot on a stick is still not done, and is looking like it will take another 6 months to complete. How many outfit have been put in the gemstore in that time.

Most raiders don’t give two kittens about the carrot on the stick.

Oh were are all those raiders when people want to have a way to earn said legendary armor outside of raids…

All we hear is no it have to be in raids or noone will do them.

Sizz Flair.7265:

Still not resolved…
Moving to Black Desert

have fun, it lasted less then a month for me

Sakri.7234:

Next, they need to come up with a solution to the junk items and minor runes/sigils that clutter your inventory. I would accept them never dropping for level 80 chars (except for junk items that are worth more than 5 silvers).

its either never or you get low value and high value junk decide.

No only exp/karma/gold or magic find goes in that slot now.

Curby.4897:

If you love condis so much why have power in the game. Love you Anet.

Power was lone king for 3 years, now condition are like the queen to that king and you QQ.

learn to cleanse mate.

NEOCROM.8957:

I didn’t read the news for quite a time, so i might need a summary about this. What’s season 3 all about? An introduction to the next dragon or?

Your asking the community whats the season is about when we litteraly got First episode 4-5 hours ago?

Ovalkvadratcylinder.9365:

Linken.6345:

Tried to google about necromancer underwater skills but only found a thread about the poor selection of elite skills.

This have been bugging me for quite awhile.
What I wonder is if reaper shroud can have the same skills both on land and underwater, why cant the normal shroud?

Since you lose the transfusion skill 4 when going under water as base necro for ages.

All reaper shroud skills work underwater

Yes if you read my post again you will see Im not complaning about reaper shroud skills not working.
But that normal shroud skills get switched out for diffrent ones when reapers dont.

Am I seeing this right, it seems Im training gliding mastery in fractals now.

magic gatherer, do enough story and you will be able to fly over small bubbles in the sky.

event closer see the events with lots of fist icon on the maps those are the events you need to do, you can get teleported to these if you find a rift on map aswell but not needed.

Nozome.7853:

Judging of how succesful raids were , we should see the next raid in ~6 months or so.

Don’ t get the wrong impression about raids , the majority likes them and its just a vocal minority that started crying about raids when they realised legendary armor is comming soon.

Yea its been quite afew against it ever since they announced legendary armor would be locked behind raids…

But as some raiders say it needs to be there becouse otherwise people wouldent raid.

Cant see the big success really if you have to bribe people to play it.

Boogiepop Void.6473:

gimrob.9071:

General speaking I find people in 35-70 range are lacking the basics of fotm, running soldiers, lack dodging, just spam one weapon, can not even eat basic food or pots, or even listen. And why run that tier when u can do t4. Which keeps some of the bad players out. Just run 75 that’s a daily a lot.

Some of us need to raise our level to access the T4 and need money to get ascended stuff because the needed AR for T4 can’t be obtained from drops below T4 (never get weapons or armor drops below T4, only rings (and you can buy amulet and trinkets), and rings + amulet + backpack + trinkets can’t get you enough AR for T4).

You do know that you can craft infusions up to atleast 30 right? thats 140 just from 2 rings

Raid team is still around and working…..
Legendary team isn’t.

Draw your own conclusion.

Don’t get cute. It’s not working for you.

http://dulfy.net/2016/03/05/gw2-reddit-developer-ama-summary/#Raids

We’ve slowly started talks about what the raid after Forsaken Thicket is and where it will take place, but that’s the extent.

Yes, I know. Facts are a funny thing.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/4n6nzu/internally_the_raid_team_is_lauded_and_praised/d41ldky

You were sayin’ chief ?

Link’s more recent, states the team is together and working on the next raid.
Checkmate.

I’m stupid excited about the stuff they are working on next. It gets me all goose-bumpy whenever we talk about it.

There is a important word missing here and thats RAID instead she say stuff.

So they can be working on anything atm

Jerry CCH.9816:

ty
but the end game is wvw

maybe same server is better for us :<

Then you let them pick a server they can get into and move to it.

You craft it you get all 3 weight classes to craft

Astralporing.1957:

I sincerely hope there aren’t any. At least not until they manage to think of ways to fix the attached problems that created the backlash agains this content.

Again, what backlash ? Didn’t see any, except 2 or 3 people ranting here and on reddit about it…the only minor problem I see is from à story / lore perspective, and LS 3 will resolve that (OK with trinket and new stats too)

He is talking about his backlash. And Ohoni’s. The great double backlash. Never mind all the topics on this forum and reddit congratulating the raid team. They totally don’t exist.

Oh there are more then just those two, but giving suggestions and hearing nothing make them dwindle away.

ZaxanRazor.6235:

“Box of Ascender Armor” it says. Sounds like, you know, a box of ascended armor.

Two weeks I dedicated to finishing that collection. Doing run after run of Dragon’s Stand, putting up with disconnects, not getting into maps despite turning up 15 minutes early because the game has no queuing system after 4 years..

And then only getting a box of armor 2/5 completions with 200% participation, too.

Finally get my reward.

Choose a box of ascended armor! Yes! Then it says choose a chest of ascended armor! Yes!

And then from the chest choose one piece.

What the kitten.

All that work for a single piece of ascended armor? That is the worst reward for such a long time investment in the entire game. What’s worse is that the phrasing mislead me in such a way that I didn’t even think to check on the wiki because it seemed so clear. They wouldn’t possibly just give you a single piece of armor – it would say that, right? And after such a massive time investment – surely not!

I am so frustrated.

Oh, and that Heart and Minds mission – fix it. It’s been 2 years almost. It is buggy as hell, still.

Yea boxes have always been 1 pieace each box as rewards, only in crafting can you make boxes that give full set of exotic if you have the correct recipe

Edit
Be glad you dident get a Teq hoard and think it would be more then one weapon

Edit 2
You mean less then a year since hot released right?

Why do everyone misstake optimal=viable…. every build in gw2 is viable

Swagger.1459:

Nero.8047:

With these kind of QoL-updates I expect players to be happy for a while and then say “Ugh Combat REALLY feels like a drag now” because the movement speed is 50% less than the out-of combat speed.
Or people would eventually get used to the 125% movement speed and then ask for another +25%.

That would be a non issue. We still have all the 33% movement enhancers.

I’m sure players would be grateful to have a bit more build diversity from a change like this.

If we still have all the 33% then this is a none issue, use those.

Like the poster swagger replied to I say it again people will get used to the new speed and ask for more.
Give people an inch and they take the whole arm.

Dont bring ……… Go into this game, just becouse its the new fad.

I think thief and warriors do well never soloed dungeons tho

Looks at his male norn guardian, No I dont have a powerfantasy I just wanted another male to even out the ratio.

Goldfox.5729:

What I’m saying is that Mistfire Wolf is a skill that is probably locked for a lot of people and thus is useless. Atleast for me.. not being able to use it… it’s quite useless. So why not make a new elite skill for the skill-types that some professions don’t have yet? For an example.. the ranger trap!

EDIT: ‘’The skill is automatically available to level 31 characters for owners of the Digital Deluxe or Collector’s Edition of Guild Wars 2.’’

I believe I did buy the Digital Deluxe Edition. But this was perhaps two and a half year after first release of Guild Wars 2. The Mistfire Wolf skill never unlocked for me; and neither will it unlock for people who are buying Heart of Thorns now.

It can unlock if they buy the core upgrade for gems right?
And just becouse its useless to you dont mean other people dont use it for reasons mainly rp I think since I dont happen to have it myself.

Also dont dubble post.

Tried to google about necromancer underwater skills but only found a thread about the poor selection of elite skills.

This have been bugging me for quite awhile.
What I wonder is if reaper shroud can have the same skills both on land and underwater, why cant the normal shroud?

Kinda odd question to ask when this thread is still going strong on first page of hot section

Jon Olson.8439:

• Refunds are granted up to 30 Days past purchase for those of you that just paid full price. Send in a ticket and we’ll refund the difference.
• Standard and Deluxe versions only. You don’t need to wait for the sale to start to submit a ticket.
• You must have purchased the game from us directly in order to qualify for this refund.

Source and further details.

Does this reply not highlight a massive issue, the fact that someone posted on the official forums and the Dev directed them to reddit, why does it seem that we are being directed to reddit more and more.

Well aint that the free to play gw2 forum?

So it benefits them directly to advertise there, then why type it twice when you can just link to it

Edit
Wrote this when going to bed and see now it may be taken negativly.
Thanks for taking the time Jon
