Guild Wars 2

I usually sell them for 50s each to people who own a custom arena.
(This is a bit of trust trading. They give me the gold and I go to their arena and use the tokens)

Try setting the date on your computer to 02.04. it helped last year.

Not happy with this change. 500g is not enough.

Lorgus.6148:

Yeah, hopefully anet brings them back. Shame to see existing content being wasted…

Its not wasted. There are people who have them unlocked and are using them.

Will you nerf SW chest farm next? SW chest farm gave more and better loot per hour.

While dugeon path selling gives 10gold per 20 min… and sellers of dungeons paths get tons of gold.. no one nerfs this abuse right?

How can Anet nerf dungeon selling other than making it against the rules of conduct? I would be all for it, since I dont sell dungeons anyway anymore.

Thanks for the quick response Chris Cleary.

Well thats a very far fetched interpretation of match manipulation. There literally is no scoring in obsidian sanctum and it doesnt stop other people from playing normally in the obsidian sanctum.

Yes, would be interesting to know if people are allowed to keep doing this for the title. I think most people went there to advance the WvW achievement and not for the loot. The WvW achievements were due to a rebalance 2 years ago and people are still waiting for the WvW achievement rebalance.

Will you nerf SW chest farm next? SW chest farm gave more and better loot per hour.

Can we get the option to hide Minis? I’ve noticed that when they are automatically hidden during World events, my framerate jumps from 15-20fps to 45-50fps and it makes fights look and feel much more enjoyable.

Maybe have 3 options?

Show all Minis
Show only your Mini
Hide all Minis

Must be your imagination, I can barely see any difference in fps if minis are there or not.

lordkrall.7241:

Have you tried the Triple Trouble Wurm or the updated Tequatl?

They are both very easy compared to WoW heroic raid bosses.
The only thing that makes them feel hard to some is the fact that its open world and you cannot pick the people you have with you. So you get a broad range from terrible players to good players. And people who afk/troll/leech.

Its nowhere near 20g/h.
After 20min you barely get any loot anymore because of diminishing returns

I have the skins in fact they’re talking about me in that post. All i did was log into beta play rev for five minutes and delete the class to make an ele.

I just tried deleting my revenant, it didnt unlock the skins, so it must be another random bug

Lazaar.9123:

Well, I can see some items are going to increase in price very soon. They really should not have shown pictures of the energizer collection, I can already make out many of the items shown in it.

It could be items with similar icon. Anet loves reusing icons.

Must be a bug. I played a revenant in the beta stresstest and do not have the skins unlocked even though it said skin unlocked when I mouseovered the armor parts during the test.

Sounds like a troll. His account is over 1 year old judging from his past forum posts.

Yes, there were merchants and magic find banners when I visited this farm earlier today.

Maybe i get some kind of gold reward, because i reported lot’s of these botters today.

Or you get banned for abusing the report feature. This is the same as Skyhammer for PvP so nothing will happen.

Nah i get precursor because i make anet work easier. If i see bots running around in orr same route whole time i report them. Same thing in obsidian sanctum.

Difficult to run different routes if its only 3 steps from the waypoint to your destination

Junkpile.7439:

Or you get banned for abusing the report feature. This is the same as Skyhammer for PvP so nothing will happen to this guild. Otherwise they would have to start banning skyhammer server users, too.

Jerus.4350:

And here I was feeling it was clunky and underpowered :b

Yes, it felt underpowered to me, too. But maybe it was because of celestial instead of zerker gear?

Who is the guild leader of this farm guild? I want to be invited on my main account

not “this year” was 2014, so they will probably come back 2015. They would be stupid if they pass this opportunity to make money, after all people also want them for the collection achievement.

Malediktus.3740:

Make it so only your first 10 games of a day count towards the ladderboard.

Thats such a bad idea.
People who are abusing game mechanics will just play 10 games and loose every other game after this by beeing afk.
So they drop in mmr hard and have some easy matches the next day.
Have fun abusing this!

Easy to fix, too. Freeze MMR after you played your 10 games.

Make it so only your first 10 games of a day count towards the ladderboard.

The drop rate so far recorded is one in 1563 giant gifts, too low a drop rate to calculate the real one, but undoubtably it’s a rare drop.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Giant_Wintersday_Gift/research

That page suggests 1 in 12037. But the sample data is too low for such a rare drop. They would have to open enough gifts to get at least lets say 10 waterbreathers to get a decent approximation.

I agree with Obtena. Group content that can be soloed (or with significantly less people than suggested) is designed badly.

Yes, I am boycotting sPvP alltogether at the moment. Only farming the daily on skyhammer servers and be done with it.

Xterra.6172:

I agree, it is easier to come to the forums and complain instead of putting on your thinking cap and coming up with a new way to play ^.^

We are almost 3 years after release. I am sure everything has been tried before, so coming up with a new way to play is like impossible.

Dont forget the NPCs in ascalon catacombs which still bug all the time.

PvP is pointless in this game. Bad progression system (nothing after r80 which goes to quick after April 2014 patch) and ladder which requires you to play 40+ games per day.

My crystal orb says there was a dusk in it. Tough luck.

Maybe it could be fixed if the ladder would only count your first 10 games per day?

Great the bug was fixed

I got an invite, but considering the tests are during my prime time i have better stuff to do.

Get some PvE players in your guild. Dungeons teach players some basic skills like red circle = bad.

PvE is entirely different than any kind of PvP (including WvW).

First, PvE is made up of designed encounters. That means that there is a way through every encounter, even if your not stacking and exploiting broken mechanics. There are places to stand where there are no red circles, attacks that come at regular intervals so you can recharge your endurance, etc… In a PvP environment, on the other hand, combat is dynamic. It may not be possible to avoid the red circles.

Second, PvE players don’t avoid the red circles. They stack in a corner and beat the boss senseless before a red circle can appear. Their tactics won’t work.

I’m one of those WvW-only people but… idk dude, there’s a path in Twilight Arbor where you fight big jungle wurm things and there is literally no safe place to stand. I die every kitten time.

Thats why you play full zerker meta builds in PvE to kill the stuff before it does too much damage.

Pure skills and GW2 is mutually exclusive since there is RNG in how much dmg you do

There is no such thing as pure skill. There is always more than ‘just skill’ involved even in the most controlled setting. Chaos is part of any fight or war.

True chaos theory is annoying. In online games you can also add latency and computer hardware. Gaming mouse makes many things easier.

What was your old name?

I dont see why people should be forced, almost 3 years after release, to adapt to a playstyle they do not enjoy. I can totally understand anyone who quits playing WvW because of this.

But you were fine with 4 classes making up the vast majority of compositions in every large group from 20 players up, you were fine with the “balance” that there were usually more guardians in everything from a 20 man GvG group to a zone blob, than there were engies, rangers, thieves & mesmers put together.

How about the times in team/map chat when someone asks what is a good build for ranger or engy, and all they get back are replies like “reroll”,“alt-f4”, etc, did you simply laugh at the engy / ranger or did you actually make posts on this forum decrying the balance in WvW and that these classes needed help?

The lack of objectivity and level of hypocrisy in these threads is hilarious.

I still laugh at ranger and engi. Necro is vastly superior in both old and new meta.

Gaab.4257:

Wonder which of the “stale” systems will be more enjoyable. This new one so far looks pretty boring…

Yes I dusted of my necro for the pirate ship meta and its very boring. After less than an hour I am wondering wtf I am doing. Its so boring to spam AOEs from max range.

This new meta will definitely drive away players, at least in EU where melee was big part of the meta.

No. I very much enjoy using Golems.
But I could agree to deactivating arrow carts.

I prefer someone playing something nice with a macro over people who play something bad because they dont use a macro.
People should get used to it. Automatisation is getting more and more in real life, too. More and more jobs will get obsolete.

Why are golems deactivated? How will I do my night capping without them

After 7400hours I got Rage from some random enemy in edge of the mist. Needless to say I raged about this insulting worthless precursor.

Too much effort for almost no rewards. GW2 is really the most unrewarding MMO ever.

Says the guy who bought 30 accounts to earn daily login rewards on them?

The rewards for the PvP ladder aren’t great, but can you imagine all the whining if they started handing out Legendaries or precursors based on ladder position?

You know something is wrong with the rewards of the game if login rewards are better gold per hour than playing the game.

Actually, that is fairly common in games with log in reward. The point of the log in rewards is tempt you to log in to get the reward which hopefully will get you to stay and play longer.

In any case it still says more about you than the game.

Actually not, old school MMOs do not reward you for simply logging in, its something quite new. And rewards are a big part of MMOs, so its failed design if simply logging in is rewarded with more than a mystic coin. At my loading speed, logging in rewards me with approximately 4.3g per minute. Good luck earning even close to that much by playing. I would say its impossible unless you are a trading post mogul with at least 20k gold on your hand.

You probably have to play 500 ranked pvp games during the upcoming 8 week ladder give or take 100 games to get into top 500.

Bret.6940:

i would also like to know more about this seeing as ive added mine to the wardrobe it would be horrible to have to get another.

Considering it says you need to put “a few” of them in the mystic forge, I guess you need 4 of them and forge them. So 5 in total if you want to unlock both minis.
