i suggest to punish leavers, lower-leveled players, norn, asuras, humans and everyone who breathes aswell. in my experience, afking was the only way after 11 try to get two achievements. deal with it.

You could also try:
1) Being better
2) Not getting the achievement you didn’t earn

You don’t deserve the achievement. That’s why it’s an achievement.

That would require work but why do that when you can blame an invisible laser beam that I’ve yet to encounter in the dozen or so scarlet holo fights I’ve been in.

I really enjoy how they have all the same old clipping issues as they did in gw1. Ahhhh nostalgia (as the focus appears to be using its Pokemon powers to cut my leg off at the hip)

They already introduced two free sets of armor via rewards chests that you get just for playing the game.

Can you tell me which two free sets of armor are those you speak of? Because if you are refering to both radiant and hellfire those ARE NOT FULL SETS. So please, don’t lie.

They are full sets you just don’t start the other 3 pieces til 21k achieves… But in any case they really should at least try to balance it a bit… Like 1/3 new roll outs can be obtained in game by some other means than the gemstore or tp.

There is a real world stock market out there for you to play.

I rather just play it as an adventure game.

But if you want to maximize the gold available in an MMO, at least respect the TP.

That’s the thing I hate, TP is the most rewarding aspect of this game.

That’s why people call diablo 3 (auction house tychoon), and people makes name such as wall street online 2 for GW2.

Like I said before, thousands of mmorpg out there, why is it only a problem in diablo 3 and gw2. It’s not like you can’t flip in other mmorpg but people dont’ compalin about flipping there.

Other games have the foresight to limit the amount of transactions that can be made on their auction houses.

It’s so they can readjust the rate for the rest of the conversion as dropping 10k gems would slightly nudge the exchange rate.

I hope this is a joke…..10K gems is likely less than 10 minutes worth of sales….a million, yeah, that might skew the exchange down but ANet has an API to access exchange rates and any manipulation on their part would immediately be published on a forum or reddit or spidy.

I said nudge… That may only be .001 but it’s enough to change the amount of money they would be getting per conversion on big bulk ones like that.

It’s so they can readjust the rate for the rest of the conversion as dropping 10k gems would slightly nudge the exchange rate.

Im all for it if they also fix it so you can tunnel under hills and stuff so I dont need to keep running all the way around them

What they should do is just add a 5% additional sales tax every 500 full listings you sell. And I don’t mean to include direct sales in that either… just items listed like say you list 50 iron… if that all sells or if you pull it off the tp then that’s 1… etc…

No… they want to hide butt capes like the horrible t3 norn ones that clip with every weapon you can equip

I would glaaaaaaadly trade 25 of the 50-60 extra dragonite ores I have sitting doing nothing for those empyreals…. Anet should allow for some form of conversion even if it were like 2 to 1

Tip for those with issues…guardian + staff + lots of 1 and 3 = at least 100-200 shards a run if you stick with the traders forum events… If you’re struggling to get shards give that a shot.

As being someone who currently and for the last 6 months or so has played casually 1-2 hours a day tops I’ve had my ascended set since the 2nd day it came out and if it makes anyone feel any better I see little to no difference in anything at all… I think people just really blow the “advantage” aspect out of proportion. Its just a big material sink… I could almost argue people who don’t make ascended armor have an advantage because they all possibly have 700 more gold than I do now…. which is no more ridiculous of a statement than “ascended armor ruined the game for me”….

Cool story bro. I have a flying dragon mount.

Never said I only played for 6 months just the last 6 have been played casually…

I’d like to see these hammers as big as the wielders torso… I can think of maybe 3 or 4 hammer skins in the whole game where the head of the bugger is bigger than my Norns clenched fist..

They should just sell a book that you can purchase for 100g to let people ignore the commander pins with a toggle… people get to ignore it and it’s implemented in an odd enough way that anet would do it. Plus, gold sink! Everyone wins!

This would be even harder to get in than the race change so I’m doubting that will happen.

Nothing… big “feature patch” is just going to be their April Fools patch for this year, then we will be told the real patch will be in August. Calling it!

why bother with world bosses when the loot is better in LA? that’s all that needs to be said.

you can get onto overflow servers and get double the 40ish you can get daily can’t you?

Yalora Istairiea.6287:

There was a (90%)Karma nerf? I don’t recall that one. Are you talking about the Liquid Karma not affected by boosts from nearly a half a year ago?

They gave us a bunch of weeks to use up the ones that we had with the boosts, which is what most people I talked to did.

I am currently sitting on 5 million Karma and have never stepped foot in a dungeon.

I guess I am just not getting:

• what the 90% nerf was? Is that what all the boosters added together equaled?
• didn’t the OP use up his boosters and Liquid back when they told us it would change?

Clearly this IS an issue for the OP after six months. I guess I just look at it as… things change, moving on.

Yeah pretty much… I just wished people would quit it with the ascended complaining and look at it like you do this… there would be so many more happy people…

There shouldnt be big pvp rewards, as said earlier being dominant over another human is its own reward and the entire point of pvp…. that being said I would support looting if it actually took stuff or gold from the other player and didnt magically manufacture it out of nowhere… THAT would make pvp worth playing

As being someone who currently and for the last 6 months or so has played casually 1-2 hours a day tops I’ve had my ascended set since the 2nd day it came out and if it makes anyone feel any better I see little to no difference in anything at all… I think people just really blow the “advantage” aspect out of proportion.

Sure gate it behind instances content BUT only if it gives you a ticket you can trade in addition to 100g per piece so the ones who already crafted the armor aren’t hosed by people that are just trying to be cheap and also BAM another gold sink… Everyone wins just like you said… And not like the elitist who can complete such content are short on gold anyway.

Hell 80 is too high as it is… Im all for knocking it back down to 20

Harvest.2506:

I’m sorry but Crafting is just Dirt cheap in this game, and compared to other mmos its the most user friendly and casual experience ever with nothing ever going to waste. I’ve tried and hated crafting in any other game but GW2 actually makes it worth while to spend the 5 mins a day to look up discoveries to make something that was stored and organized for you.

You don’t Need the Asended gear it really makes no difference. 4.91% stats 5% if celestrial.

That’s irrelevant because I DON"T WANT TO CRAFT PERIOD!

I don’t want to spend my whole time clicking a “craft” button. I want to kill stuff!

Then don’t get the armor simple as that…if you can’t take less than an hour to do the crafting profession then you don’t deserve it in the first place. It cracks me up you’d be willing to waste 200 laurels on one piece but you won’t take less than an hour todo a crafting profession. No one LIKES crafting, but unless you like awful RNG then it’s your only realistic option as there’s no way they’d make it buyable thru laurels seeing how expensive it is to craft.

Predator and quip

cmud.5689:

here is a tip:

If you finish your personal story, you should have enough letter’s of commendation that can be used to finance-out a personal guilds bak space (50 slots at least). Create a guild, dump the letters, research architecture + the bank slot and enjoy. Thats what I did. Also, if you feel like getting to 100 bank slots, you can actually buy more letters. I use it to store my crafting components, etc. stuff I bought as an investment and dont feel the rush to carry them on my chars. It will put your own inventory to an easy.

EDIT: it costs exactly 1 silver piece to get this stuff. (guild creation). Sounds like a good proposition to your issue.

This… anyone who has played for a couple weeks generally is at least working on their own storage guild…

Just don’t ever sell while idle, do it while running somewhere or whatever as you will need to make constant adjustments which takes your attention away from the tp long enough to not be stifled by this. Also you waste less time

Thats basically what they said… not unbound it to sell it (unbound) but unbound for use on another character (accountbound).

No race change or guild halls

I answered this on your other post but search the name of the medium armor you want like “emblazoned” or whatever you tiny non heavies use

What I wanna know is why they didn’t leave the flame kissed skin in the gemstone as well and make it only usable on human t3 armor…. I mean it’s already been developed… No sense in wasting it entirely..

Been at least on complaint thread about this every week since launch… Just take the name tied to medium armor and search that in addition to the filters and BAM only medium armor

And once you finish the event it ends the fire ele event chain… is this new or have I gone a year and a half without knowing this could happen?

Yeah I would love to see it and it SEEMS easy enough to implement in several ways… Probably won’t ever happen though…boggles my mind why anet would bypass all the money people are willing to spend on it though.

Propably becaue they think the projected profit wouldnt cover the expenses, even though you make an opposite claim.

I don’t think cost really factors in on this particular case, the run around they’ve given that ive seen in the past from them is generally that they don’t want to mess the personal story up for the character or there was some sort of difficulty surrounding that…. But resetting that should be easy enough…

Lord Kuru.3685:

Showing off a legendary is useless — they’re sold on the TP, so having one doesn’t impress anyone. Being lucky with the mystic forge doesn’t impress anyone. All a Legendary shows is that you grinded out a ton of karma, got world completion, and have lots of gold.

And yet so many ppl whine about not being able to get a precursor. What’s the big deal if it the system is left as it is, if you can buy it at TP?

Because progress towards something is much more satisfying than RNG to 99% of us and there should be a way beyond buying the thing outright/forging which is essentially doing the same thing. In addition they have been assuring us the crafting has been coming for pres for a year now… So basically what you’re saying is that “it’s no big deal” to take back what they’ve been saying for the past year and cater to the1% who enjoy the ridiculous RNG. And you see NOTHING wrong with that? Then you sir are extremely selfish.

If he has his own storage guild just have him invite you to that and use the bank function to transfer the gold, you’ll have to wait a couple days but at least you won’t have to worry about being banned if its an amount over 100g

It amazes me how many people do the event and haven’t read that AND won’t listen to the people spewing for an hour before the event verbatim what is on dulfy… marionette is not about skill even… its about taking 30 seconds to read the mechanics, all in all IMO if you have the numbers there’s absolutely no reason to ever fail this event as easy as it is. (And thats saying something coming from someone like me who generally says screw it for anything requiring more than some facerolling)

Bombsaway.7198:

It makes me happy. People should have easy access to things in a game.
What if you just started playing?

Rarity of items is a waste in GW2.

I don’t think they should have easy access to everything in a game but something like dyes absolutely… There’s no reason in my opinion a dye should ever be rare enough to cost more than 10g so the re-release did make me happy but they’re still way over priced haha

Problem is they’re too easy to get, it requires zero skill and a lot of time. It needs to require you doing something more meaningful and skill based than what is required now… Legendary is hardly the word for them when so many less than legendary people have them.

If you’re looking to do the new ones good luck getting in if you’re not queued up waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before the event starts. Especially on desolation or blackgate

The lore in which the “Guild Wars” took place plays no role in this new game.

We’re clearly not playing the same game.

Seriously the Guild Wars lore is almost everywhere… This Scarlet living story nonsense is out in left field, but most of the main story picks up where Eye of the North left off and a lot of the side story is continuation of Prophesies arcs.

You know there are more story then just the current LS right? Its just kind of the story that on going now there a lot of story hitting at the past game and keeps the story from the last game though 250 years…

I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to say there… but it sounds like you didn’t read my whole post.

I think it was a response to the OP but quotes only go 2 back

lordkrall.7241:

I would assume it have to do with the fact that it would be hard (if not impossible) to check if they have been used or not before.

Who cares if they had been used… they should have just reset them all to be unbound and then bind them upon the next use.

Except that they revamped tequatl so thats a kitten now and 2 days ago they introduced 2 new raidstyle bosses… aside from that… not much lol

At least its not in the gemstore!

1. Start new character
2. Play personal storyline up until Level 10 inclusive
3. Grab your free Black Lion key
4. Put the key into bank
5. Delete character
6. Repeat from Step 1 inclusive as often as you like
7. ???
8. Profit!

Nerf?

Also. Leveling to 10 takes about 2-3 hours. You can convert gold to gems, which is about 4.5g per 100 gems. 1 key is 125 gems. 25 keys is 2100 gems.

What i’m saying is you can farm gold for 125 gems in 2-3 hours easily.

It takes like 30-35 mins to do a key run, no need to level to 10 just do the story til then and the exchange rate is more around 7.75g per 100 so its about 10.5g per key so if its easy to make 20g an hour then yes you’re better off converting to gems, if not key runs are the way to go

OIIIIIO.7825:

I expect to see more nodes in the home instance as they are trying to find reasons to get players to visit them more often. I view my home instance in GW2 similarly to my HoM from GW1.

If they REALLY wanted us in the home instance more they’d have spent alot more time developing player housing.

If you sort by price things could be getting bought and sold around it causing it to move from page to page too

Thanks ive only used it for less taxing applications and kinda taught myself how to do it so I never really had to think too in depth about it haha

Long story short my college has it so you’re unable to connect to guild wars. But I can VPN into my home computer.. I was curious (before I torch my laptop trying) is my laptop going to be the one handling the major processing or my home computer?
