Guild Wars 2

roachsrealm.9284:

yes, there is. you can only send out like 2 or so every 5 minutes iirc. you can receive up to 10 before your inbox starts turning them away.

use the guild message of the day and hope to hell your members actually read it, or use another method of reaching them. I created a facebook fanpage for our guild and invited everyone to like it so it appears in their news feed.

The in-game guild wide announcement system is almost non-existent.

They dont turn them away but store up to a x nr in que untill after awhile people mailing you get a msg that your mail box is full.

I have had 10 in mailbox and a extra 10 in que atleast.

If you have to ask for a reason to come back, then you don’t want to play. Do something you know you want to do.

+1 just what I was going to say but better worded

Just want to reply and say not all altoholics are like you mate.

If there were anet would have put up 3 servers for you.
So the answer to your question is no untill anet do so

Well you actualy can see the % scroll out on big map and hold over the name of a zone.
If you cant see that then maybe you need to level up some more to see it.
You should also see total map completion in the top left corner of big map right under you see the map your in.

Unlike now when people cant do anything while they wait for bosses to spawn or a que to pop oh wait they can.
Harvest stuff talk to people do events kill mobs to build up stacks of + attributes etc

Riiiight. Because doing low level events that I can casually one shot by now and harvesting nodes is what I call an entertaining use of my time.

I’d much rather have a fun and engaging duel or watch other people duel to pass the time. Additionally none of your suggestions work if you’re waiting for a queue in the Mists. PVPers have to just sit and wait.

well noone here is against adding a duel arena in the mists wer talking about open world mate.

it is still the highest statwise.
It is just limited in it`s usuability, thanks to it`s fixed stats.

Legendary equipment gives you the luxury of changing them whenever you want.
However, that is the only difference (and maybe the skin then)

I still have legendary equipment on my radar. It’s just that they are so expensive, I decided to make ascended gear first and in a year or two I will be able to afford legendary pieces.
My main reason is “Hey, I want those footprints!”.

they never said legendary armor will have footprints and with most weapons having em i would guess they add something else to armor to not screw up the weapon effects.
Just look at what happen to howler when they removed aura bug

Ehecatl.9172:

Nobody is going to buy GW2 just to duel in open world. That’s dumb. The only people who will take advantage of that feature are the people who already own the game, which means the community overall won’t change one bit. The only thing that would change is people now have something to do when waiting for a boss to spawn or a queue to pop.

Unlike now when people cant do anything while they wait for bosses to spawn or a que to pop oh wait they can.
Harvest stuff talk to people do events kill mobs to build up stacks of + attributes etc

Player A says duel me
Player B ok
A kills B

A Man you kitten noob I wrecked you
B If I were on so and so class I would so f you up

Yea we dont want talk like this in our game

Edit
Even if people can auto decline it, that still would stop certain people running after pesting to get duels asking what they are scared of or name calling em words like the p one for cat

PopeUrban.2578:

It’s simply not as important as you think it is. They don’t have open world dueling to cut down on “1v1 me bro” tells, and keep pvp limited to areas designed for PvP.

They also implemented guild arenas specifically to function as customizable PvP sandboxes so people don’t have to make/find a custom arena and can still have a place to duel without disrupting other pvp or pve play, or be disrupted by mobs and other players.

Yea like pope says Op custom arenas in guild hall is what your after, we dont want dueling out in the world becouse you should never feel bad seeing another player and players asking for duels will fill up my block list to fast.

since you can get heroes and henchmen do you really need people?

maybe you should check out the overlays that are already made for gw2

Velarian.6290:

the difference is that in this event a bug is responsible for you not getting any rewards at all, even if you qualify for them. its not about the stacks you lost, but about that if u stacked up enough stacks to qualify for an reward after the dc u got still no rewards for whatever reason

How is it diffrent then getting Teq down to bettwen 25-1% dc loading back and getting nothing?

cost 1800 gems dont it.

Nektera.9425:

you don’t need a democracy system in this game. let people do it socially by themselves.

No we do not, my first guild died becouse the guild leader decided to quit game and not transfer leadership.
Now 2 years later 5 people are all who log in from time to time and cant do nothing but talk to eachother in that guild chat.

Pomdepin.7068:

Linken.6345:

dident it say you can buy 1 for this price usualy do on them so people dont mass buy them.

Yes it did, but I was unsure with how it worked with gifts. Now I know (kind of “normal” since the receiver will still be able to buy it at discounted price, so if I could do so, it would be 3 discounted items for 2 people, but still, I wasn’t sure). ^.^

if you can buy 1 and decide to give that one away do that mean you havent bought 1?
I dont see your logic here.

dont you get those out of helmet boxes?

Or Teqatil and tripple trubble happens daily that someone dc.

As answered in your other thread, you only get the bloom chest of 20 one time each day for a total of 60 if you do brisban, kessex and diessa.

After that you have to do atleast 5-6 events to get 5 blooms 10 get 10 bloos and 20+ to get 15 blooms.

If you dc out of the map you wont get rewarded if you login with same character and work up stacks again.

Edit
Your other thread is still on the first page so kinda odd you dident see it.
Third from the bottom
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/No-chest-at-end-of-Mordremoth-Invasion/first#post5486452

considering how easy 2/3 of the events are shield and bomb pods they will get finished quick, catapult events will stay longer tho but get finished in 3-6 mins + that way alot more get credit then having 3 ppl on the catapults the whole event.

if you dc you need to join with another char or you wont get rewaded.

Anet have only said they would reward the get no reward at all without dc the first day event was live so far.

and since everyone will be able to do it the profit you get will be 1% of what you get now im all for it got roughly 4k shards i need to blow.

havent bothered becouse of the time investment now.

Dident the dev state that masteries for the beta was easier to level so people could help them test out mastery systems.

So I guess masteries will be harder to level when hot release.

Linken.6345:

Yea you know they aint on a time limit if you tag and run as well the event will scale down.
Then when the next group of people come there it wont be upscaled as hell like it is when people stick around so they can finish it for you and the rest that came before.

Its good for everyone if events stay up awhile so more can get marks from them.

Your post is a little confusing. First you recomend the tag and run. if you tag and run as well

But then you admit you need people to stick around to finish. when people stick around so they can finish it for you So I guess those people shouldn’t be tagging and running, since you’re depending on them to finish the event so you can get your blossoms.

Of course the few people that are staying have to deal with events that are upscaled by people steaming in to hit once or twice then run off. It never has a real chance to descale then. It takes them longer to finish and they get less blossoms from less events run. I recomend that they tag and run also, and let the events fail or not as they may.

No I said events get upscaled as hell if people stick around (hence why I told the op to tag and run so it scaled down). Then last group 2-5 players who get to the event will finish the last health on the vine easy and everyone will get credit.

The invasion is on a timer the events in said invation is not so it benefit people more to let event spawn as much as possible so you can drive around like a train letting the last car finish of each event

Yea you know they aint on a time limit if you tag and run aswell the event will scale down.
Then when the next group of people come there it wont be upscaled as hell like it is when people stick around so they can finish it for you and the rest that came before.

Its good for everyone if events stay up awhile so more can get marks from them.

Yes this whole forum

savacli.8172:

Practically any of the crafting professions are gold sinks. Yes, you can make money through the TP or save money by crafting items yourself (vs buying them outright), but that has the potential to change radically at any moment.

Specifically to a Mesmer or Ele: tailoring would be useful to both classes since they are both Scholars and use the same armor categories. Weaponsmithing and Artificing are both useful for crafting their primary weapons though you’ll need a few weapons from Huntsman as well for a Mesmer. Artificing can also be use for crafting slaying potions.

Jewellery crafting is universally useful for any class as everyone make use of trinkets. Currently, the craft is limited to exotic quality items but will advance to Ascended after the expansion.

The only ones I can see not being immediately useful for you are Leatherworking and Armorsmithing as neither of your toons can make use of the majority of the items that are crafted from that discipline.

Otherwise there are a bunch of one-off type items that require a random crafting discipline.

Again, we have no idea what you’re after so it’s going to be pretty difficult to point you in a direction. If you’re ultimate goal is making of the post though, you won’t find many people willing to part their money making secrets as those flipping techniques/secrets are what’s making them money.

Please show me source on the bolded part no were have I read that jewelery will get bumped to 500, always made me kinda bumed it wasent already upgraded since my first char was jewelery/huntsman

so 5 or 6 in the afternoon monday then for uk people

anet just want everyone to have ascalon weapons ofcourse

dident it say you can buy 1 for this price usualy do on them so people dont mass buy them.

sometimes you can get into a late opened map of the ones you just completed getting 5-10 more blooms.

Check lfg openworld overflow birsban kessex or diessa.

you only get that 20 bloom chest once for each map each day mate second run same map only 15 blooms.

Regev.6971:

how about buying ascended gear? i noticed they cost 42k each, i have only exotic armor

You craft or get ascended gear in random loot boxes from diff sources, like teqatil tripple trubble fractals wvw rank up chests etc.

Show me a picture of the merchant screen that sell them for 42k karma please

no they said it may take weeks and that the merchant will stick around for 1month so why blow your blooms tonight?

Edit

Ok got no clue were i got those weeks and specific 1 month from but here is the post i found

Mordrem Invasion Update 10 September

in Dev Tracker

Posted by: Gaile Gray

Update on the Mordrem Invasion Event — 1:45 PM Pacific 9/10:

Some of you have asked about rewards for defeating the Mordrem during their attempts to invade Kessex Hills, Brisban Wildlands, and Diessa Plateau. Here’s some info from the dev team:

Rewards scale with the number of Mordrem incursions you help defeat.
There also is a daily map bonus for repelling invasions.
Remember that a rewards issue currently is being addressed and we hope to have a fix for that soon.
Rewards, if not received immediately, will be distributed to those who earned them in the next several days.
NPCs will remain in place for a period of time after the event so that you can exchange blooms for items. An NPC will remain in the Priory for a few months, at least, so you’ll be able to make the exchanges you need to make.

measuring with twitch viewer number makes best sense than any other thing

World of Warcraft

Dota 2

see? who would claim that many people dont play those games?

So Op you just proved your first post false then becouse who would say any of those games have a low player count indeed.

well with the aboundance of obsidian shards you get from chest in sw it aint a good cost effective way to spend karma anymore.

with only 200k i would wait to spend it untill hot comes when we get new merchants that sell stuff for karma ( got 4milion myself and unsure if I got enough )

hearts were put into the game so players got bread crumbs to follow and alot of them are placed were events do tend to spawn to get people to run there and do event.

Yea its like baseing the players on how many use raptr it dont end close to the truth at all.

Ok I Did It.2854:

When the game was released yes the EU accounts I think where auto assigned to the EU servers, and the NA accounts to the NA servers, but you had the option to move data centers,

I think there is confusion here, what it means is if you select an EU server you play on the EU servers, and vice versa, but you are free to use Gems to move between EU and NA.

I would say the website selling the game is confused, I cannot see Anet restricting an account to a region, this would be completely debilitating for say Military personal whom move country.

And I would guess if your base account you add the eu hot key on is na hot will be na no reason for anet to give free server transfers to people

Just a flesh wound.3589:

There was something at launch about Eu players only buying EU accounts and NA only NA. However this was buying from ANet directly and because of tax laws. Buying from an outside retailer isn’t the same. You buy from them and pay those taxes.

However, as I understand it, a key from Europe means you go through their servers and your account will be affected by any lag from that if you are based in the U.S.

Nah thats incorrect you can use a eu key on na servers and you then go through the na servers. My friend have hoped from eu to na and then back to eu servers

Idc about dungeonselling, but we had some troubles finding an ele for AC.
We got like….10-20 lowlevel warriors, rangers etc. After we finished P1 with 4 people we finally got an ele…
I’m not doing AC often enough, so I don’t know if thats normal or we had just bad luck.

In GW1 you can only “ask” to get into a group, the group has to accept your request.
Would like to see the same for GW2:
“glf ele” —> “XY wants to join your group” --> show the same infos visible when already in your group —> accept/don’t accept.
Give us a direct whisper option via lfg tool so players can ask stuff like “is a second warrior ok for you?” without having to join the group.
When you want people to read the lfg: “whisper me: hello world” and accept only people who did so.

Yea and you dont need a ele for any of the dungeons, you can complete them with any class combo.

He wants an ele, and if he asks for an ele it shouldn’t be possible for a level 30 ranger to join.

Ofcourse everyone should be able to join thats what lfg is for, not get what ever you want.
Thats what your guild and friends list is for.

Obilgatory can I haz ur stuffs plox

Edit
I have the selfless potion and the times I use it is close to zero so I dont see a problem for more people getting it.

Yea I agree they really should just upgrade all old accounts not just the special ones that happen to get a lotto ticket into the beta test.

only thing the op dont get with a ftp account is the leaderboard and kitten that comes with knowing were in the list s/he is

Amelia Brigita.3940:

There are books written here, so don’t want to add another version, but I’m so vastly disappointed for the first time with ANet, I can’t NOT post something….

The reward structure on this event is heart-wrenching in levels of disappointment. As has been stated, the time:reward ratio is insultingly weak.

What’s baffling is why would you guys not even offer a hint of consistency? Why reinvent the wheel when you have a perfectly valid reward structure in Silverwastes? Why not carry it over to this event? Its seems kinda a no-brainer…

Aim an event at lowbies and then offer no incentive to participate, no loot to benefit them, no xp, no karma. Make an event to please people who missed rewards from previous events, but make the blooms so time-gated as to be impossible to achieve with any rational playstyle…someone already said this, too, but it rings loudly in my mind: GG, Anet, you brought us an event disappointing to old and new players alike.

Yea probabely have been said before cant be kitten d to read through 400 posts, but not taking the mini map reward from sw after each event and give it 1 bloom, would have solved the problems people have that dc with 1-15 stacks and get nothing instead.

lordkrall.7241:

Sarevok.2638:

I WP’d around to all close events I could completing them and have only come out with 16 stacks at most.

Dunno what you are doing.

I walked around with a small group completing events.

yea but there aint to many events on the map at one time, so getting 26 walking around sounds fishy if you aint on a guild organised map or sum

Edit
As shaaba said i usualy get 10-15 aswell completing events

pRogz.2301:

Thanks for the event Anet, the shoulder skin looks amazing!

how the heck do you had time to get 225 blooms already?

Now I wonder if the map bonus is account or char bound anyone tested it?
