I wish you the best luck, be smart, collect what you miss. Then, maybe soon, a legendary waits you.
The only gamble you miss i guess is clovers. Be patient, is just a matter of time.
Don’t rush, plan it efficently, stay far from the mystic toilet until clovers are the last part missed. Talking about it, if you miss T6 mats, do the clovers. If you don’t get a clover, you get maybe T6 mats you need (or something you can sell, making money).
You’re so near, my friend

Speaking of it, it’s fun. Last time i checked, 2 months ago, was something like 60g. The reason i guess was the pathetic effects of the weapon, noone was interested on this legendary. How the price now is growing, noone knows. Oh right wait, i explained it yet lol

Tank: “better do what I say or I leave and You will wait 20 min for another tank!”
Party: “okay…”
Healer: “ kitten STFU or no heal!”
DPS: “okay :<”

Well lol i can confirm this idiot attitude you described. Happened well, on pugs, where idiots groups up.
A guild would never talk like this, the member would be instakicked from the guild for his attitude. That’s how trinity games work.
Clearly nowadays the trend is be dynamic, able to cover every role if possible, clearly doing the most damage possible. TESO (Seems) should have something similar. PSO2 has it, way better than gw2. Everything works perfectly, and everyone is useful, noone is essential, things works. The “healer” is not healing? Drink a potion and the fight continues, you can just wait there died if playing as a noob. Still, i cannot remember one single chat on pso2 where others around you (even those idiot western players harrassing a japanese game with their elitist illuded attitude) ever called someone “lol noob”. OP, be open to move out of this game. Anet is not gonna plan to make you feel this game funnier or worthy. Better is available online, more is coming.
Gw2 was fun, why not. First 4 months. Lol

Well, it was one of the most epic worldwide events of the history of mmos.
An effort of multiple guilds of both factions (enemies working together) for a great purpose. No effort no event.
As you said players decided. For a great battle. Noone who was part of it can forget those days from when it was announced the first time to the final battle.
The reward was the most unique and superb mount of the game (still the best ingame). Thousand players around you fighting, no trash-culling gw2-style.
(Can you imagine the same event on gw2? Hahahaa, 10 players around you at best spamming on chat “where is everyone? main event is ongoing!” “Around you, move your char, we will pop” hahahha)
When someone with that mount walk, is a truly worthy player, who deserve respect.
(Except who abused of the title and mount during the gate bug of 3.0.2 lol)
The outcome was Ahn’Qiraj on your server completed, giving to everyone the access to the most long and hard raid ingame. A living world where things changed, forever. Believe me or not, who lost the event dream to use a time machine and be there.
Just be there, being sure he did his part, his mmo life matters.
Nooone surely miss the karka’s event and see how a junk mmo behave roflmao.
And nothing changed our gw2 life AT ALL with or without that example of an mmo fail called karka’s event.
So far, this new content is not even barely comparable to anything of it, much less a living world at all. It’s just a bunch of stupid DEs noone is interested except who is curious or bored. No purpose, no real unique rewards, no permanent changes being there or not doing those DEs. Did you wonder why i log once or two times per month? Most just removed the client from their pc in the same period i got bored, the 4th month. I just come back for my guild duties and check if i sold something else.
This new content for sure didn’t gave me any minimal interest to even go there.
And well, i’m not the only one.
Living world, rofl..

Uhm. For example Gates of Ahn’Qiraj. I was there, i cannot forget it. Unique event.
Nor noone who was with me forgot it nor me being there and what i did.
What we saw after the event, was the outcome of that battle, a sign for the history.
Leaders (and who got his hammer) got an unique mount, just to mark forever a respect well earned.

I don’t know about you, but i still believe most wish to be part of something unique on their game’s life. Wishing their virtual life matters..

Nice spirit , Leo G. I was playing my necro long ago with the same attitude, learning every single bit of it. Not reading a kitten of uberl33t builds around some peeps was pretending to explain. If there was more variables, as you said, so much would have be learned and studied. I guess we are just rare.

Uhm, no. Every time i walk near the karka’s boss i still remember very well that huge battle. And the disconnection + refund lol. Still, it was a memorable memory, i was there.
Problem is, it was just a stupid badly programmed , unplayable huge event, nothing more. Be there or not, having him killed or not, didn’t change a kitten
No server failed (not even overflows), was just a matter of not being kicked out by the server you’re playing, and wait the end. Then, nothing.
By far, karka’s event is the worst example to throw here.
What i’m talking about is epic moments, a living world. We don’t have any living world on this game, not even the shade of it. Just a bunch of farmable DEs. When done, rinse repeat it. People appreciate to be part of something epic, remember it years later. Much more if was a fail “Ah crap, so much was be done, if just (npc-name) didn’t die, so many things would have happened, now.”
Some mmo gave us this experience, we cannot forget those memories, they are still there logging.
Gw2 doesn’t offer anything similar, at all. The only thing “epic” i see when logging is my armor and my weapon and the title above my head, a proof of a real hard work, a long trip (couple months). Nothing else is left.

Admirable story of a guild effort. I wish i met this kind of guilds, so much bond together on a single big goal: their guild’s status. I just hope you all are real life friends. Would be so unpleasant to be kicked..
I have good memories about it on WoW, your post made me remember some threads of people talking about the vanilla legendary/horse got with his guild, and how his guild worked hard all together for this goal.
I was for sure the last to give a kitten to contribute about nothing the guild leader was asking, like his legendary weapon, a horse during vanilla etc, hehe. Didn’t regret my choice for sure. Discovering later the guild became just a bunch of idiots where i was wasting my time, leaving. As you see, as much i admire your story, all the efforts your guild’s members made could end up just on thin air, tomorrow, when kicked/leaving the guild.
Noone will remember him, nor throw a thanks 6 months later, be sure.

Official Response: Drop Rate of Legendary Precursors

Lucas Ashrock.8675

What you’re doing, following your dream collecting money to buy your precursor, and looking at it raising daily, is exactly what “powerful healthy” players around you do: raise the price accordingly to the “general health”. If the community is making money, the price will rise quickly, even doubled/tripled every few days. Believe me or not, every time you will be next to buy it, the price will be again 300g more, making your dream more far…far…so far..
Market manipulation, there is a group doing it, laughing so much i cannot describe. I have a friend of this “elite group”. He always have fun to tell me new funny stories of people attempting to use the TP, ending up scammed by him/them, lol

Mystic Forge for precursor

Posted by: Lucas Ashrock.8675

Lucas Ashrock.8675

I tried for a month using dungeon tokens to buy swords so it wouldn’t cost me anything, since I was running dungeons already. I made about 1 attempt every week so about 16 exotic swords put into the forge and didn’t get anything from it.

Last weekend, my friend says I should use rares cause I could get more attempts in without having to farm 1200 tokens. I told him rares are a waste of time cause the chance is much lower than exotics and it will cost me money instead. He insists. So I buy 20 level80 rare swords to put into the forge just to prove to him it’s a waste. The first 4 rares I put in gave me Zap. I couldn’t believe it. Cost me about 1.5gold. Extremely lucky.

Same behaviour of a slot machine, after all. “Nah, waste of money for stupid people” “Try” Jackpot pops. Don’t illude yourself, first and last lucky strike of your entire gw2 life. Enough proved by other people’s reports around you.
Now don’t waste your jackpot. Make a legendary with Zap, or sell it for buy your beloved precursor (if possible). Invest, don’t let yourself caught in the trap of gambling. Enjoy what you got

Apologizes if i was derailing. I’m trying to stay ontopic just focusing on the entire title of this section, and this thread title: do we really need those preprogrammed repetable DEs to make a living world? I don’t get the HiddenNick’s point: why would it need a support , if the storyline of a server just went succesful or a failure? After all, things happens, events happens, big important events happens. BE part of it, and lead your server to the victory will be remembered forever. As much a fail. THIS is a living world.
How to program this?
Just programming the event with 2 different endings, one winning, one losing, with permanent consequencies. A winner server will have a different set of DEs, accordingly to the living world it’s living. A loser one, a dark, sad set of DE attempting to fix the horrible event happened, losing an important battle. This is epic, isn’t it? BE part of something important, makes the world permanently alive. And yes, makes an NPC even die , with a tomb. Logging 3 years later, walking near that tomb, still remembering "Oh ye, that was the big war of the first era. Loads joined, but “npc name” died, sadly. How horrible is the world, now. WE have to deal with all those battles, all those attacks, our world will never be the same". Then a second era began, a new hero rise, a new battle arrive, maybe things will be better. Different. Thinks, this will even create a bond with you and your server, not having any interest to move out just for grind (nor guesting for the same purpose).
Because well, you was part of the history of your server, being remembered and respected at every login forever..
Such a epic design huh? This is what Anet claimed to have programmed and selling, talking about gw2. What we have is just a bunch of stupid DE without a question mark doing a repetable quest where be online doing it or not doesn’t change a kitten and this entire project they are so proud to talk about, is just, after all… just a bunch of new DEs with a poor background noone of their costumers cares, nothing more.
Did i give a developer perspective now?

Agree, you should cater to the no-grind player. A Mr. Noone not interested to make money ingame, without a real purpose than have some fun and logoff. Maybe even without a perfect armor missing some exotic pieces, maybe with traits like junk, maybe with performance below the noob. But hey, was a fun run for the purpose of have fun, wasn’t it?

I have no doubt about the “come and go” Just.. here is just “go”.
If you truly believe PR announcements, well..
Really? You have a way to see the real exact number (real time) of players online on gw2?
Even the past one, at launch (the famous 2M players online of Johanson) with a graph? I’m amazed waiting your answer
Can you link me this website ( or show me how it works)?

PS during WoW glorious days, i wish my guildies was offline, at least one more seat for more raids was free for me, lol

Ok, so I will better listen to you then! And assume that your a super human and know everything by simply assuming your right! lol

I don’t know the numbers. But do you know the number of current WoW subs? No… Oh my… Then it’s probably diving hard! lol

Put apart my superhuman skills. You agree we have way less players than at launch. But then you suddendly said playerbase is growing. My point was obiouvs (and you agree with it), how you can prove your point about the current playerbase growing?
I was sure was enough clear if you see more peeps around you is just thanks to guesting. Even 1000 players guesting around every server will illude yourself this game is hugely populated and growing. It’s still 1000 players + you
Playerbase is decreasing daily, simply because of the disappointment this game gave us (Anet). The potential was huge on this game, the comapany simply… let it die.
I wouldn’t name the king of MMOs (WoW) expecially during his glorious days, attempting to compare gw2. Panda surely ruined the game (Cata too lol). But that’s not because WoW didn’t offer nothing to do for sure. Mostly because the content implemented was just boring nowadays, and many more little reasons.
Even said that, wow still remains the most populated mmo around, even with pandas.
(Beware, i’m not a WoW fan from when cata was out, i’m not defending it nor interested to talk about it. You mentioned it, illuding yourself i’m a WoW player/fanboy).

The DE system is a way of focusing on the current ongoings in an area and the current fights being fought around the places.
- I agree that in order for this to work better we need to have the lore integrated more thoroughly, meaning that we’re not “just doing” them, because they are basically cut of the same cloth. It seems like doing the same task but in different areas.

The Quest-system would explain some lore, whereas the DE’s kinda presumes that you have some background knowledge.
- I think that with the Living World Events we get told a story and get to see these events actually happening.
Anet keeps saying that they are enthusiastic about this way of going about making “quests” or content, but that they will probably discover the flaws and merrits over time, so that future Living World Events will become better and tell the current story even better.

In other words, I think we should give them time to examine the feedback during these events so that they can improve on it, thus giving us better, more fun and integrating story and content later on.

I still wonder how the section title “Living World” is related to a bunch of DE repetable billion times, not changing a kitten ingame PERMANENTLY. A living world is a world where let’s say “An NPC died, because the server’s playerbase didn’t do that content”. Died, forever. With a tomb. And people passing by will remember forever that NPC and the battle related, and their server losing the hope of a better world.
THIS is a living world. What we have is just a bunch of nice textures, some stupid DEs Anet is even proud to talk about, and nothing made the playerbase interested more than do them 1 time quickly just bored of the usual AC+COF eternal grind farming gold. Living world, rofl..

Ye, Anet is keeping well hide the real status of the actual playerbase, and how it was at launch. Not even updating the real status of servers ( we saw a tiny update with a lot of middle/low populated serves one time, it creates enough reasons for most to quit).
Ye, clearly is not even near to the launch’s playerbase. You notice it too.

It’s not raising. At all. It’s decreasing, daily. For billion reasons you can find on this very forum , and many unofficial others. Read around. Sometimes people just got bored to be ignored, reporting problems, and not reading a fix nor an answer by the company. And funnily, even a ban for “not being productive on the thread” lol. I guess it was pretty clear from months noone cares of 999.000 negative threads (the other 2 million are instadeleted by a mod), basically most of this forum. Am i wrong?
What you see around you running around are just guests farming, illuding you the game is hugely populated. IF it was so much populated, we wasn’t arriving on main LA instead of an overflow on peek hours. Am i wrong?
Do you remember this game during the first couple months? THAT was huge population online.

Well, i saw mmos born. I saw what led them to the fail (junk mmo and some minor ones) and huge success (like wow during the glorious era). This game lack of basic core functions at 7th month (lfg just to mention one, or culling or unplayable content when too many people are near you, like dragons), and a proper programmer leadership and management community oriented (like this thread, completely ignored by the team, the only one reading this thread are mods ready to ban us). And performance oriented. If you think we are at 7th month and i still have 60 fps locked with a hi tech machine able to compute 120-150 fps at least with this game (like any other game around, mmos included). Go figure.
Loads reported it from months, was it fixed?
How is it possible? Evolving a game, fixing bugs. The opposite of what we are getting, with Anet.
Talking about dungeons, the solution i suggested is the easiest possible. Used by most major mmo on their success (PoE, pso2?), let’s not mention TESO. I highly doubt we will have a fail nor something barely similar with TESO. And in case, fixed asap. Be sure.
At least, that’s what happening on other successful mmos out there. Failed mmos did what Anet is doing: ignore the community, ignore core problems, allow the users to abuse of the system with systematical groups/ compositions/etc

Agree lol. I swear, i was thinking it was a joke, this section. A bunch of stupid DEs are the Anet idea of keep players online and an alive world? Lol. More are leaving, daily, we others left yet.
At least, who stop thinking about it a second “What in the hell i’m doing, a 5 minute DE, again, the same stupid DE i did 2 hours ago?”

Just a note… I really don’t think that Gw2 is in any despair or that population is dropping considerably (as far as I know it’s rising ant that people are playing more).

But I question the way that ANet plans to keep their player base occupied and the kind of content that they plan to add.

Please prove me wrong!

It’s not. If you see more peeps around you they are just abusing of the guest feature for farm. No doubt, i guess most of us are concerned about Anet plans to keep their playerbase occupied.

So shortly you agree with him:

Will the lousy FPS be fixed ?
The answer is no my friend. Don’t count on it. Accept it or request a refund and move on. Your call.
I certainly know what I’ll be doing.

For sure, it’s what most did (leave and eventually ask a refund), me included, and most of who is left online is waiting the real king

I’ll be playing Elder Scrolls Online before the expansion to this game comes out. Better to play something that doesn’t have this kind of problem than to give Anet more money.

They’re never gonna fix it, it’s baked into the game. They may add in some options for WvW, but that doesn’t fix anything, that just allows us to choose how sucky the experience is.

This game is just a pure fail, hopeless. As OP said, the entire game engine must be rewritten from scratch. Too late, it’s a fail, will end up as deserved, a ghost town.

There is nothing we user can write on this thread to be helpful, contribute, or anything.
We are just realistic on what this game is and what we will have: nothing or worst.
We are at 7th month. Anet already proved his programming skills and intentions to fix.
But i guess my post is the kind of post so anti-PR on this forum and will be deleted quickly like other post who doesn’t contain “Anet da best” , as usually by this company, right?
Let’s see if a dev or Hrouda answer, now. Nah.
(Hey Hrouda, we are waiting a refund for dragon lag kicking out users, not giving us any chest logging back wasting our time )

Did you consider before write the possible age of the players around you (just some kids), the personal gaming performance (who for some, is just helpless even after months), the attitude playing ( i don’t give a… of this game and how this group wants me to play the content) etc ?

I guess you’re underage and never played a cash casino
Try your luck thinking to be rich, this is the foolinesh who makes casino so rich and the player so poor, hehe. True, sometimes someone win. 0.00001% of what the casino gains lol. And you usually you win 0.00001% of what you lost lol.
I wish it was enough to make the entire playerbase leave, understanding how idiot the game is based. But it’s the same thinking about leave all together a casino. Do they? Nah, they will go there daily again and again. Foolinesh cannot be stopped

Is it reasonable to make more DE's?

Agree lol. I swear, i was thinking it was a joke, this section. A bunch of stupid DEs are the Anet idea of keep players online and an alive world? Lol. More are leaving, daily, we others left yet.
At least, who stop thinking about it a second “What in the hell i’m doing, a 5 minute DE, again, the same stupid DE i did 2 hours ago?”

Dungeons... grindfest

Lucas Ashrock.8675

A solution is easy: makes those dungons way harder, fix every single skip when possible with a wall until area is clear, balance every class so everyone is able to perform the exact same result, analyze with an Anet spy joining this kind of teams how they perform, why, how to fix and remove what they do so their quick run grinding is impossible. Hey i’m talking about proper design and proper programming, and a company who cares of their product and the community. Wrong game, sorry, lol

Same crap of Karka event, no improvement has been made by Anet to the game’s performance, we have the same crap of day1. I just lost my Tequatl chest yesterday with this problem, kicked out at 40%, no skill was working, walk was impossible. Karka event, shortly, lol

Purple glow staff

in Crafting

Posted by: Lucas Ashrock.8675

Lucas Ashrock.8675

If it exists, it hasn’t been discovered yet (according to the wiki listing, or those who know about it aren’t sharing). If it follows the pattern of the other purple glow weapons, it should be 1 Eldritch Scroll, 50-100 mystic coins, 250 ecto, and 250 of either ancient staff heads or shafts. I can’t test it now as I’m not on my desktop, but try combinations with one of each staff part and check the numbers that pop up on the bottom (assuming one’s a valid recipe).

If it shows up as a valid recipe but you just can’t afford to make it, throw it on the discussion page so hopefully some wealthy noble soul can take the gamble :P

Eldritch scrolls and ectos should be combine-able with other objects in the forge, as recipes exist including those items. The quantities may just be off, so again, check the numbers that show up under each item when you put it in.

EDIT: There doesn’t seem to be a recipe for such a staff. I tried the combos listed above and none were valid. Then again, it might have some obscure fourth ingredient, which would explain why no one has found it yet. To be honest, if it doesn’t exist as such, some sort of purple glowy staff will probably be introduced at some point to complete that stylistic set.

Doesn’t work, tried yet. No staff are barely similar to other glowy weapons. The only worthy staff are Final Rest, Bifrost and (some love it, dunno why) the Pact one and Fractal staff.

How about an update RE scavenger hunt please?

in Crafting

Posted by: Lucas Ashrock.8675

Lucas Ashrock.8675

If they do a “surprise, legendary hunt” players that spent 1k gold on it will hang themselves and the other ones that want to wait it out can wait for months or even years when A-Net decide that want to “suprise” them.

There aren’t any precursors priced over 1k.

Not yet, wait a month or 2. “Someone” will take care of it.

They’re silent because they care. Every minute spent on the forums is a minute not working on the game. Whenever we get information, it is very concrete and to the point. Furthermore, A.net acknowledged concerns, but also wants to release a proper solution in due time. Beyond that, silence is a form of communication too. Wanting a status update every other day is just asking too much.

All the vague tidbits exist and you can form an educated opinion around it. A.net cares more than any other company. That doesn’t mean you should expect developpers to lurk on the forums. That just doesn’t work.

Disillude yourself. The only one reading this forum are mod looking if your post must be deleted and your account infracted and banned. No dev read a crap here. Nor are aware of what the community wants or ask, as already proved from day 1 when this forum was online. Rare pearls happens, like Hrouda stuff not giving anything valuable to be read, except how he admire warriors soloing a boss.
There isn’t any communication with Anet, this forum is just a PR instrument. When something posted is not confortable for PR interests is deleted. Let’s be a bit realistic, please.

You got it right. If you’re alive, is because of you. If you’re dead, it’s because of you. Ye, someone can help doing an aoe heal, but at the end.. who cares? Loads of things to do, dps down the enemies quickly. You’re down? Revved (if and when, or just left there dead, and laugh about you as a noob). Wrong game, my friend. IF what you wrote is your spirit and enjoyment playing an mmo, just change game. Some new mmo are online giving you what you need, next weeks an uber one will be online (try your chance for a beta access, i’m sure you understood what game i’m talking about).
Just leave. The disappointment will just grow up day by day. Now add some personality disordered players around you acting as a jerk (forcing you an ignore) when you was just expecting a bit of support or a spit of heal, and here you are.

Official Response: Drop Rate of Legendary Precursors

Posted by: Lucas Ashrock.8675

Lucas Ashrock.8675

I face a situation where I have everything needed for my Sunrise except the precursor.
I have 520 g in bank and could be close to buy it on TP (even if prices are now closer to 600g….).
I can wait to get it but I would like to avoid to pay 550g in a precursor and got some news from Anet next week…..PLEASE communicate, anything you can….just a word….to say if it is still in plan, and maybe for “when”….. so many post on forums on that topic.
Give news (and hope) to your users !

If you just knew that precursor you’re gonna buy for 600g was bough for half and resold (or maybe a smart guy who bough at beginning for 20/10g, good old gold days), or just a guy who crafted 4 random rares, got one, spent 1g at best. It’s absurd we are at 6th month, and still playing this crappy system for a legendary. Worthy player huh? haha
