Guild Wars 2

why should he save up gems its a pay real life money expansion not grind gold get it for free since someone else bought the gems for you.

specialy when there is always someone seconding never asking why person A want to kick person B.
But no we hade dungeon owners before and that got abused, I go afk 15 mins guys you can continue im leader cant be kicked bla bla bla.
Or imagine the people who rage quit if the die 2-3 times and they opened dungeon wasted for everyone.

really helmet non-removable/hidden. Shouldent same have been with the elementalist stone headband and necromancers mask they got in begining have been the same then? dont people use common sence anymore?

Wait a minute this thread was about item spliting all i read is i want to be able to combine two of my salvage kits i accidently used some of each.

Answer to that is NO you shouldent be able to split or combine your salvage kits, forge mystic forge kits 250 uses or buy copperfed savlageomatic if you want convenience that what they are there for.

I wonder how people managed to finish dungeons when game launched. No veterans for help. No guides to look up. Somehow we still managed.

Because the current attitudes and beliefs about how people complete a dungeon today are beyond unnecessary (I know your post wasn’t meant as seriously as I’m responding to it). You don’t need to stack, you don’t need to stack might and fury (hell, half the pugs I join don’t do this), you don’t need to be in zerker and you certainly don’t need to bring two ele, one warrior, one guardian and one thief meta builds.

The current meta has become a low skill-cap crutch – dungeons are fast and easy when you all run zerker, all stack might, all run meta professions and builds and all LoS every mob.

Taking it to less of an extreme, there are multiple ways to reach 25 might stacks and perma fury. Many professions have powerful melee cleave weapons, many professions can apply vulnerability stacks and all professions have +% damage traits. We have pug groups thinking they need a speed clear, record breaking meta simply to get their daily dungeon gold grind done quickly and efficiently when that’s simply not the case.

What do you mean it’s not necessary?

I got maybe 2-3 hours to play. The difference between a group that finishes a dungeon in under 10 minutes and one that takes 20 minutes to an hour directly impacts whether I can do my dungeon tour.

What’s more, people who want to save time also do it because if you finish those dungeons faster, you get to have time to do something else.

Let’s give an example. I want Kudzu right now. That’s around 2k+ gold worth of mats. Or I want the dreamthistle skins which each are going for 1k since I missed a few before they retired them.

So doing 20-30 minutes a dungeon path with a deficient pug I might fit say 6 runs at 30 minutes or 9 with 20 minute clears. That’s essentially between 6 (let’s say 7 gold with dropped mats) to 9(10) gold for these runs.

At 7-10 gold per play session, it would take me 100 three hour play sessions for a dreamthistle skin (assuming that by 100 days the skins are not bought out and the prices go even higher for the few remaining) if I am earning 10 gold per play session, or 200 play sessions for the legendary.

That’s really bad.

People are obsessed over speed clears in this game because the rewards are total garbage and the gold grind for skins massive due to everything being attained via low RNG droprates (even with precursor collections in HoT, you can’t farm lodestones or t6 mats reliably so those ridiculous costs due to low RNG remain).

They started with tokens for dungeons and soon after that anet realized if people get their items after a a couple of weeks or a month, they couldn’t milk their wallets dry in the gem store with gem>gold exchange. So they went down the casino route of walling everything behind RNG and low rewards to frustrate enough players to spend some gold on their cash store to speed up the process.

please tell me how arena net take my real life money when convert ingame gold to gems.

10 fractals are 2½ full runs so its not that bad.

want a 100% health potion well we got it here in the gem store for just 900 gems dont work in wvw/spvp

What would be good was if support scaled with a stat, say you had enough toughness your reflect wall would last 15 seconds instead of 10 and with low toughness only 5 seconds.

omg who cares about VIABLE, if u buy a car you want a VIABLE car or you want an OPTIMAL one? i think only fools choose something viable instead optimal

watch this videos
http://gw2dungeons.net/Records
3 min, 6 min for a single path… why i should do the same path in 30 min because someone is ok with viable?

like i already told, i like to have some content like that, its just a full rush, is really funny IF you can also choise to do OTHER stuff, but IF all the content is just a full rush, isnt funny, i miss to play other ROLE like i’ve done in other games

other things it’s just a blablabla

And you can still do that but you dont want to becouse somehow your time is precious, I thought we played games to waste time and have fun?

You cant say you can do it in 30 mins and I dont want to then turn around and say I want to do this, then do that and take longer time kitten.

If what you want is we have to have 1 guard 1 warrior 1 elementalist and if you dont you cant do it.
Then no this is not the game for that, everybody can do everything giving the put in the time it takes to do it.

I care about viablity I run a celestial shout healing/banner regen warrior without greatsword becouse I want to.

Eggshells.1748:

I hope they bring them back soon! I missed out on these as well.. Didn’t think it would be a one day only kind of deal.

So the ending soon big sign on them dident give you a clue? you could even click on them and see how many hours was left on sale.

I laugh at all these threads that want to make everything viable, becouse it already is that. They are just not optimal and they shouldent be either, if you want to sacrifice damage for protection then it will take you longer to kill stuff, for the record i got zero berserker chars and I do all the content fine.

I play for fun not to rush through it earning gold like its a second jobb

How about dragonite eater or luck eater item =)

maybe becouse even in trinity games 80% of the people want to play dps and wait for ques for dungeons since noone blame a dps for failiure its always the tanks or healers fault….. if you dont want to dps maybe you should try hello kitty online i hear you hug cute stuff to death there.

CutePicsHunter.7430:

Since i got kicked after 3rd fractal along with 2 people i just check LFG every day and report every group selling paths both for gold selling and lfg system abuse. Lost all enthusiasm for dungeon runs – i might get kicked no matter what and all my efforts would be wasted.

run dungeons if they are good people add to friend list next day ask people on friend list if they want to do dungeons solved

You literaly have to log in once during head start then wait 3 years login again and have a precursor no thank you

Im wondering if I will be able to max diffrent masterys on diffrent professions like i can do with wvw points.

The impression I get from this, is that each play type that I enjoy will only have a very tiny pool of mastery to collect.

Bad design IMO.

Its good that you can get that impression from purely speculative information based on nothing mate

oh didnt know that was speculation.

99.9% of stuff on forum is speculation if they dont back it up with a link to were a anet staff said the thing mate ( left out 0.1% since some people are just lazy to link sources )

or buy a new char slot and equip it with 20 slot bags and get more space then either 1 char bag slot or a bank tab

Edit
Or even better now buy a second account during sale and get even more space and more free stuff from loging in on that one aswell.

No they did not since its a new edition

Edit
Do you get the 4th edition of dungeons and dragons becouse you bought the 3.5 edition?

not a problem really

I use wsad to move 1-5 weapon skills heal skill shift-x utility z x c, f1-f4 q e mouse 3 4, 10=shift-e

Give us different types of dodge (take no damage) animations

Another stupid idea I want the community to know.

As a guardian, I would like to have an animation of me pulling out my shield instead of dodging like a light weight ninja.

you would need to be moving the same distance as a normal dodge, and probbly wouldnt be that easy to pull a shield out of space if you dont have a shield

but overall might be cool to have different animations, long as they follow the same rules

You could block with your weapon too you know.

That is not a block sir that is a parry.

No a diffrent mini tho would be fun with a chance of 1 out of 6-12 or something so having alts is usefull

should be like this if 2 in party 1 to kick someone 3=2 4=3 and 5=4 so aslong as you have 1 guy with brains not mindlessly seconding the kick you should be ok. If all 4 decide to kick you then you must have done something wrong.

and dont start with the story about u can do all contents in nomad etc etc, because i dont wanna do a content in 40 min if i can do that in 10, i’d just like to have OPTIONS, to play in a OPTIMAL way with the current system or with the trinity system, so everyone will be happy… play what u want w/o waste your time doing AC in full nomad in 50 hours, when u can do that in 40min with zerk….

multi purpose is the way imho

Im sorry to break it for you but if you want to play in the most optimal way there will never be any options, there always will only be ONE optimal way, no matter what the devs want

Hate to break it to both of you the devs said play how you want, not that all those players would finish at the same time.

Zenith.7301:

Why would you want new pets when most of the ones we already have that aren’t cats, drakes, dogs, or spiders are already useless?

I prefer they fix moas and bears and pigs and devourers to not be total garbage first.

The bearbow rangers tend to disagree that they are useless, just becouse they do less damage dont mean they dont have their use.

yolo swaggins.2570:

And thieves could have a kitten backflip like Lightning on FFXIII. I would pay gems for that.

that would look really wierd if you dodge any other way then back tho

Well use the blue green yellow orange boxes from fractals then mate to get them sorted into what you want

I think you will have to play every form of pve content in the same way as you have to play all the pve/Wvwpve content for 100% world completion.

so basicly you want http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Juvenile_Krytan_Drakehound brutal charge that the krytan drakehound have for all pets and players?

Are you sure about that since I have ended up in party with blocked people in lfg

Hey you dont even have to have low ap to be kicked i did a all welcome party in ac, we started 3 man it so we could get to first boss while wating.

The fifth man joins kick the ranger for being a ranger kick the warrior for being in the wrong guild when i ask after he and the other pug kicked them both.
So when he and the warrior started killing spiderqueen saying we dident need more i left.

Joined another party needing people that the same elem joins after 30 sec and then kick me.

I tell the other guys in whisper that they should be carefull of that elem he kick people without reason, they ask me to join back and we finish the run.

So no ap aint the only mesuring stick its peoples warped mind aswell 1 person from that guild is bad i wont play with anyone from that guild pfft.

The fun part about getting high MF is that investment per-return is awful for the majority of the cases. Say an item has 1% chance to drop. With 100MF you have 2%, with 300MF you have 4%. But. Between 200MF and 300MF the increase in drop rate is only 33% and the amount of luck necessary becomes astronomical somewhere around 150MF mark. So not only are you getting smaller (relatively to current value) returns, you also need to invest more. I suspect that if someone worked out math in the detail, they’d find that the time it would take to pay off their salvaging vs vending of blues/greens for luck (past MF200 or so) would be in years if not decades.

People that keep saying this don’t seem to understand that it is quite easy to make hundreds of gold and cap magic find simultaneously. Your whole post and everyone that tries to make this point is dead wrong.

Well if your profiting on the items then destroy the worthless luck then mate why should you profit more I wonder?

beta in few weeks.

next year release? I don’t know about other games, but it would be kinda stupid for me.

For me normally will be end of april release deadline, if not then wth…..

They said they will start preparing beta after PAX East and Rezzed not that beta is coming straight after. So thats bit more than few weeks

April is just bit too hopeful. I mean with projected profits having a huge spike in 3rd quarter of the year.

they where saying it in different ways tbh, but saying that closed beta will follow “very fast” after pax is 100%.

I don’t know the business part of the game and best possible profit when to release, I’m just saying AS competitive player from wvw+pvp (occasianally pve…but can’t enjoy it much) that is kinda fed up and bored with current meta, and knowing that new meta will come (specializations, new classes, new condis, new boons – i’m very excited about the changes), I feel like they leaving us to play with broken toy while keeping the fixed one for longer for their own reasons.

Kind of gaem is in the most ded state for me atm as an player that have spent alot of time in competitive part of this game.

fixed it for you in bold mate

No you wont get new weapon skills that you can slot in and out of your existing weapons the only new weapon skills are for the new kind of weapon your class specilization will get

JakeG.9620:

I’m going for the Karmic converter, while slowly building up the ascended materials for armor for my Revenant (but that’s more long term) after my Karmic converter I might go for Mawdrew and when that’s done I’ll build up my legendary crafting mats. lots of stuff to keep me busy ^^

Might want to start crafting the foods since you need a total of 21 of each for the mawdrew 2 and its 1 a day aswell =)

well my guildwars 2 map is 20gig maybe you should let it update

Edit
20,0 GB (21 495 738 368 byte) to be exact

if you still have that second item unused you might try asking support to exchange it for a armor piece of the same just another armor class like you bought heavy gloves twice and dont have light gloves unlocked.

Edit
Might take quit awhile but should be possible for them to do since its the same gold that left your hands either way.

Yea totaly comparing world, guild, say and emote.
To a channel for 2-10 people only, better to use a third party program to speak to your officers.

cant have been yesterday since you can quite clearly see in chat that 4 players left your party and you get name on all of them aswell.

Have been like that for quite awhile add persons to ignore and dont team up with them again.

Edit
And no I personaly dont want the dungeon dictators back I rarely get kicked from dungeons and if it happens I probabely have rubbed 1-2 of the persons the wrong way ( people are to used to second the kick i guess they hardly ask why someone want 1 kicked just do it and search for new )

SyZ.7920:

I spent 2 hours in the Silverwastes

Pretty fun, I earned 5g, and a ton of crests, and then I just kind of thought ‘ok, now what’ and went back to my 100% completion goal

I don’t have anything to buy with the money, I have literally zero interest in either bow legendary and I didn’t pick this character to use a greatsword

My guild is nice enough, but with no > 5 man content it’s kind of like, why am I in a guild exactly? I can do a dungeon or fractal or content solo or in a pug, so other than having the same people to talk to, I don’t get it

The 100% completion will keep me busy, but other than that I don’t see a reason to log on

It’s kind of an analog really: 1 -> 80 is a single player JRPG or WRPG storyline, and then you beat the game. Now you just have a bunch of side quests and 100% achievements to get for your PSN or XBL score, but there’s really nothing beyond that and there’s no point to any of it because you don’t have anything to do with any gear you get

The big, open world 200 man pug dailies and events I can basically right click and tab out and look at stuff then tab in 3 minutes later and get a chest

There’s no DPS logs, I have no idea how my damage compares to others, and there doesn’t seem to be any reason to try to improve because, again, there’s no end game or goal in sight

Ah your one of those that lays dead at teqatil, jormag, triwurm or any other world boss thats harder or stand afk not helping to kill portals at shadow behemot.

Got it no this is not the game you want it to be i guess mate.

People in this game dont want to chase gear upgrades they want to chase other skins to look diffrent then death knight nr 3245 that look exactly the same in their gear due to there only being 1 best in slot item that cant look diffrent.

Why should your dps matter compared to the next guy your not working against eachother in pve anyway.

Edit
End game explore world 100%

Get all the skins in wardrobe will take quite awhile.

Finish off all the collections even more time

Find all the hidden mini dungeons like Tears of Itlaocol wont find those during world completion mate.

Do all the diving locations in almost 3 years i still only completed 1 =)

Complete all dungeons… will be kinda hard for you since you refuse to use melee and most group wants u to be able to do both depending on situation.

Level all classes to 80 a worthy goal maybe you find something you like better then ranger so you can really play this game both melee and ranged

The star is useful if you are consistently generating an excess supply of empyreal fragments. The tree isn’t all that useful. You can get the equivalent of a year’s worth of gifts for around 15g.

Well RNG is RNG – the person who just showed me where Grawnk spawns did have the tree, which I picked up a Gift from and after opening/salvaging it gave me 34 of the Pristine snowflakes alone! Came to 73 silver, just from one tree gift. I do have an excess of emp fragments also.. some 20-ish stacks I think

JediYoda.1275:

This is what support told me today

Thank you for contacting the Guild Wars 2 Support Team.
If you made some progress during the Wintersday, you can continue the quest for the missing ornaments and bring back the spirit of Wintersday to those children. They won’t mind how much you take to get the tree decoration back. However, it is not possible to have a fresh start with this collection if you didn’t respond to the children’s call.

Sadly this seems like two very useful items that are ‘lost to the ethers’ if they can’t be added to the Laurel merchant.. They managed to add the Krait Obelisk Shard to the merch tho, and that’s very similar.

what did u salvage to get 34 pristine snowflakes?

Jai.3058:

This is horrible, we get forums on people saying “odds on getting in” and i dont see where all our numbers are!? WvW is nothing compared to BG and JQ, PvP is about the same. All our RPers and PvErs are nowhere to be seen, LFG system and SW has about the same amount of people as in Devonas rest which is where i came from. My main problem is our lack of people in WvW for being a full server and a T3…

You do know that all but the WvW is shared across all servers in the same server cluster right?

I think it will be 3-4 maps 3 layers on each so 12 maps totaly then 2-3 (1 maybe 2 layers) more maps during the living world building up to the next expansion.

The real question is why do we need to fix it?

Markav.3950:

JustTrogdor.7892:

Thanks to megaservers you can still RP with them. You just can’t WvW with them. But yes, you will just have to keep checking off and on for an opening. There is no other way to get in.

How do megaservers work exactly? Like, I’ll able to be in the same area and they’ll still be capable of reading my emotes and seeing my character?

I also read about World Transfers, something about it costing (what looked to be) Gems? Can I just delete my character and start fresh somewhere else without paying the transfer fee?

Also, thanks for responding!

Yes you can delete it and transfer for free i advice you to put any not soulbound item like bags blue weapons armor and what ever into the bank since it wont get deleted and any materials you can stack in your materials tab useing the cog in the top right corner of your inventory panel

264 on guardian 149 necromancer 926 warrior 667 ranger 90 on my thief really should start useing them if they bring in that much gold

King Noob IV.3560:

wtf how are you 80 in a week i played 2 days and am level 13
i’m kinda lost at what to do though

When all the icons on the maps unlock i think it was around 18-20 go do map completions for reward chest can give usefull stuff one among them being black lion keys so you can open the chests that drop like candy witch in turn can reward you with tickets (or scraps 100 1 ticket ) for special skins.

Always do the events you come by good source of exp and karma, when you complete hearts you can buy usefull things while lvling up.

When dungeon unlocks (lvl30)create partys in lfg with the word first timer and you should get people that explains what to do.

And welcome to the game btw
