Guild Wars 2

There have been two other threads on this. Unfortunately both have disappeared somewhere in the depths of the unsearchable forums. Some of us have hoped that the down leveling of our hard earned exotics is a bug. Even though deep down we know it’s probably a nerf. Either way none of the threads have garnered a mention from a developer. I see they respond to a thread about the value of gold ore not being equal to actual gold in the game, but we haven’t heard any official word on this that I am aware of. Although I for one would like to know so I can continue on the road for my second legendary before I burn any more gold than is absolutely necessary in the forge if this is a bug.

7 days and zero feedback !!

Really this is not funny, Arenanet bug or ninja nerf make Legendary weapons unattainable for many players. Before this bug/ninja nerf 90% porecursors cost max 600g now after 7+days ? 1000-1500g lol

Yep, still no feedback. I wonder if it was about PvP related if they would have responded by now.

Still waiting on official word from my understanding.

I would like to see the Megaserver system allocate players more evenly. For example there is always at least one Cursed Shore that is full and active. However there are also several that are less active or dead. I don’t so much feel like I’m being grouped with people I’d most likely play with then I am being sent to overflow.

Would like to keep this post alive.

Support finally got back to me after 2 weeks on this issue and just said post on the forums and use the in-game bug report.

Yep that’s what they say about everything. They told me to rest assured that our posts are being seen, but that doesn’t exactly make it better. If they are being seen then that kinda says to me that they are intentionally choosing not to give any information. That of course just leads to speculation and anger from the people (like myself) affected. I’d rather here “We are aware of the issue and are working on it” then nothing at all.

It amazing me how many self-proclaimed story-telling experts play this game. >_>

/rips hair out.

I NEED to know what’s going to happen next. XD

I can understand the frustration of this. There are several items I wish I had gotten. So it would be great to find a way to get them. I really hope they do. On the other hand I’m also okay if it doesn’t happen because it would take away from the limited time only items uniqueness for players that already have these items.

Still nothing on this?

So nothing on this yet?

Yeah, stealth or not it looks like a nerf and very tasteless one at that. They just nerfed the kitten out of loot in most ways on the 15th.

Prediction for next patch: “Fixed a bug where mobs were occasionally dropping loot when killed”

Yeah I noticed this too. Unfortunately I noticed it about 80 gold too late. If it’s a bug then fine stuff happens. If it’s an intentional nerf then that just ticks me off.

These items may still have a use, but they are seriously devalued. I’m more offended at getting 50 luck as a drop from ones I purchased with real cash. LOL That won’t even make my MF bar visibly move.

Convert gems to gold and reward someone else for their RNG luck. I’m not a fan of that. I’d be okay with the current system EXCEPT getting worthless common dyes. Every time there are dyes and people make this complaint is because it’s a valid complaint. I’m glad some people enjoy them though It’s impossible to make everyone happy.

4800 hours played here. Personally I’ve never gotten a precursor from a drop, chest, etc. However I’ve gotten 20 from the mystic forge using lvl 75+ exotics. Would be nice if the other drop rates were better.

I remember begging Anet for better compensation for world bosses. The day we got guaranteed rares was awesome. Even if we did loose the ability to get loot from that boss more than once a day. Then some of the events got scaled, lost loot from some of the event’s mobs if not all the mobs, and now even more scaling. Given that and the way it’s now arranged I don’t even bother most of the time. Too much work for too little reward.

^This. It’s very tough to see if anyone else has posted a similar question or observation.

I appreciate the input, good to know. Still think I’ll go back to selling rares then till my luck improves or there does turn out to be a problem.

Seriously guys if you don’t have something useful to input then go troll somewhere else. Thank you to the people with helpful input from those that have noticed and those that haven’t felt there was a difference. I wasn’t aware this was a regular post as the search feature on the forums is not very useful. The rates seemed to significantly change for me. It’s not that I had a few bad salvages on a handful of rares. It’s been constant since the last living world patch . I get anywhere between 10-20 rares a day on average and play every day. So it’s certainly something I would notice a difference in. I remember a while back there was a bug where rares were not dropping ectos as they should. It was a confirmed bug and everyone was complaining about the rares taking up so much bank space while waiting for a fix. It seemed to me that if it happened before then it’s possible it happened again. I don’t think Anet is out to ruin me so save your tinfoil for the kitchen.

Yeah I noticed that too, I’d get a lot of zero, an occasional three, but 1 and especially 2 was rare. Still way more zero ecto breakdowns than I remember.

I’m just curious if anyone else has noticed a reduction in their ecto drop rate? For around the last month or so when salvaging rares I’ve noticed that I have what seems like a significant increase in the number of salvaged rares return no ectos. I use a mystic salvage kit on level 75-80 rares. I know these bugged out once before so didn’t know if it was happening again.

^This

I mained an ele for 1 year and this was the most annoying bug. It happened for me mostly when say being in air attunement using staff #4 for swiftness it would start auto-attacking especially if I switched elements. However I’m not sure this is a class thing alone. I play a guardian now and can’t have auto-attack on at all with my staff since I use shouts. Otherwise every time I use a shout I start auto-attacking everything in site. Usually it’s an angry deer or moa slowing my running speed and dragging me through the motions of being in combat.

Absolutely wonderful. Need a good laugh=D

Still happening. Also I seem to freeze up anytime I’m in queue and then enter EoTM.

Staff Guardian, with Purging Flames, Hallowed Ground, and Judges Intervention. Turn off the auto-target and have fun XD

Not so much sure it’s about being fooled BG as there is nothing you can do to stop them from it. That ball is in Anet’s court and so far they don’t want to call a foul on any of it.

This would be super nice! I’d really like it if the my BoH weren’t basically worthless since the unexpected, unannounced, and understated change from being able to do anything with weapons or armor except vendor. I have my legendary, and another gift of battle just incase. No more alts to equip and have a stack of supply traps XD

My prediction
1. BlackGate
2. Jade Quarry
3. Trashed Coast
4. Sea Of Sorrows
5. Dragonbrand
6. Maguuma

Open discussion here, feel free to debate and discuss.

Awe! How cute. Looks like someone feels intimidated by our little RP server. See you on the battlefield buddy

I’m surprised that they think this will stop the flood of players leaving for ESO.

Or that we needed to wait five+ months for these changes.

Don’t worry.

ESO will stop the ‘flood of players’ leaving for ESO.

This^

I think he means that if legendary armor/ trinkets come in to play that he’d like Anet to use our existing Ascended armor/ trinkets as precursors for them. I think that’s a wonderful idea. As far as precursor crafting goes it would need to be separate since precursors already exist for weapons, but obviously do not exist for legendary armor/ trinkets.

Yeah our size is fine. As far as the selfless potion goes I agree, but Anet seems to not want to do anything about it. They refuse to respond on the forums about it and in my customer service response they pretty much did the same. Still keeping my fingers crossed, but not holding my breath:/

What kind of issue are you specifically having that could be related to lag?
Skill lag/ skill freezing, rubber banding, environmental lag around my character, loosing the ability to weapons swap when lagging unless I manually swap them on my hero tab.
What server are you on?
Tarnished Coast
Has there ever been a time when you or a friend are experiencing lag, while others in your party are not?
This only happens to me in PvE where I’ll experience lag spikes briefly while others may not and the same for them.
Has there ever been a time where one party in a map is experiencing lag, while other parties in that same map are not? No in WvW it seems everyone experiences the lag at the same time.
Do you experience the lag at very specific times?
Zerg vs Zerg fights, or big enough zergs hitting a single objective.
If so, can you estimate how many players are in each zerg? Typically 60+ per zerg.

before anet nerf thieves on any they should nerf warrior first and buff guardians

Anet pls buff my main nerf the one that kill me.
Guardians are meant to stay until the end. If warriors cant run they will die because all they got in defense is their low regen and a few seconds immunity.
Stop trying to turn warrior into a guardian if i wanted a slow guardian i would just play it.

Meh, Guardians are fine the way they are IMO. Guardian is my main btw. I do understand the “buff my main nerf the one that killed me” problem, but you forgot the part where no one will argue that an OP class is not OP more than the ones who play it. Especially when it’s a troll build like this is. Long overdue to be nerfed. There are consequences for getting into combat for a reason (reduced movement speed, weapons swap cooldowns, etc). So being able to run into combat, but at the first sign of trouble running away super fast with your tail between your legs, is not a good thing. Even thieves leave tells as to where they try to stealth, can be knocked out of stealth, and killed while in stealth. However warriors can just go invulneralble, clear all condis, and roll on to troll the next person. To argue otherwise likely means you play a warrior and maybe even love to troll. Sure it feels great to be overpowered, balancing includes a nerf hammer.

I dont understand Rpers at all,no offence really but wasting time in town pretending that you are your character is sooo stupid and weird lol.I dont know it might just be me cause in many games i played before i never saw Rpers untill i come here.It was so strange to see people acting like Npcs…

Who could possibly take offense to you calling them stupid and weird?

TC is the place to be for RP. It has in the past been the friendliest server in the game. It’s undergone some recent changes due to WvW change ups and absorbing almost another WvW server. Seems to have diluted some of the friendliness as of late. Still there is a abundant RP especially in DR. People use the /me emote a lot. RPers use their imagination, so I’m not sure any game could be useless to an RPer.

This whole “Everyone else is bad and I’m the only good player in the game” mentality is so old. Saying it doesn’t make it true. You can’t always win and not everyone gets a trophy despite what mommy says.

I really don’t understand why everyone is so anti-zerg. I enjoy the game play, but to each their own I guess.

So I went to the trouble of contacting Anet and this is what they said. Basically from my understanding of this form letter is they take it as a suggestion and have no plans on changing this. Even though it’s not a suggestion and it’s not an idea. It’s a rip off. Save your gold folks, because those of us who didn’t are out 10 gold and hours of play. I would say contact them too, but as you can see it does no good.

Hello,

I appreciate your taking the time to submit your suggestion for Guild Wars 2.

It’s great to know that you have posted this input on the official Guild Wars 2 Forums. The forums truly are the best way to share your thoughts and ideas with the Development Team. When they are considering future Guild Wars 2 development, one of the most significant elements they consider is whether there’s a strong desire for a particular feature or change within the Guild Wars 2 player community. So thank you for posting in the forums, and do be aware that while members of the Development Team are not always able to respond, having suggestions available in a public area helps them gauge the level of interest in a specific idea, and also allows other players to discuss it and offer feedback of their own.

I’ve included a link to the forums for your convenience: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum Please do feel free to post your ideas there – they will be seen!

Still waiting patiently for over a week and I don’t want to see this thread die out. Guess I’ll have to start contacting customer service directly as well.

Yeah, Warrior is the current OP class. Personally I love my guardian. I find him apt at any form of game-play without having to work twice as hard for the same results that some classes have too.

It seems to me it may be time for Anet to consider some server merges. I understand why any game resists doing this since it can be a bad sign. However this is fairly normal for any game as people congregate to certain servers and populations balance out leaving some servers empty. I do agree though that these events seem to be made for the largest servers leaving the smaller servers feeling very left out.

I’m surprised this hasn’t been addressed yet. Hope to hear something soon though.

Still waiting on a response about this.

My Carpal Tunnel and nerve damaged hands would appreciate this very much..lol

Taygus.4571:

All I want to hear is a “yes, we’re looking at an always on option” or “It will not have an always on option”. ..“we are looking at it’s graphics/we are not”.

But I suppose if they told us they aren’t looking at it. Less people would buy it while hoping it’ll get fixed.

I agree. It’s not like there was some way we could preview it in game being a potion instead of a wearable item.

Would still like to hear something on this. I know Anet are busy folks working hard, but there is a lot of uncertainty here as to whether or not we can expect a fix : /

Another poorly scaled item for Asura. I was very sad to see what I went through a grind and spent 10 gold for. I hope this gets the same attention we T3 cultural armor (heavy)/ any weapon users have been waiting for since launch.
