Guild Wars 2

laokoko.7403:

I just get a princess wand. For some reason some people keep thinking it’s the immobulus.

I like the eye of rodgort scepter, it only needs 10 Giant eyes, but still an almost impossible task to get them without buying from TP

Is there any good reason why Giant eyes only come from Heavy Moldy Bags, Mawdry and star of generosity gifts. At the very least they should be a possible drop from killing giants, especially the legendary giant in dry top.
In my 8000+ hours of playing this game I found a total of 2 Giant Eyes. So to get a stack of Giant Eyes by playing normally and not buying them of TP, I would need to play a total of 1,000,000 hours.

Ayrilana.1396:

Does its placement honestly really matter?

Yes, some people enjoy having all achievements in a category done. Some people enjoy if things are ordered nicely and not as if Anet would be rolling a dice.

I dont think there are not enough commanders. I always have a hard time to find an eotm map without commander so I can command myself.

Looks like a 3rd party application which can get you banned.

Maybe this should be move to bug forum. I talked to other people with 25k+ AP and they agree with me on this issue.

Malediktus.3740:

“Moved the miniature collection achievements to the Basic Collections category. Selecting a miniature collection will now display the missing miniatures.”

Considering the difficulty (gold cost wise) they should be in the rare collections category.

Going by that logic so should basically every single Basic collection.

I don’t really think we can base the “rareness” of an collection around a supply and demand economy.

I dont know, Anet must agree that they are more difficult than the other basic collections. The miniature collections give 40 AP each, no basic collection comes close.

Miku Lawrence.6329:

We’re getting masteries as a new way to filter people in pickup groups. Isn’t that nice?

Yes. lfm CoF p1, must have at least 1000 mastery points

Just dont buy any outfit. If enough people not buy them they have no choice but offer mix and matchable sets again.

Thorquist.8126:

Cool bi-weekly update. Totally worth waiting.

Yes, its a bit disappointing considering the last update was already very small with the rereleased dragonball arena and some decorations.

You can still multibox for events like eye of zhaitan to have multiple chances for pendant of arah. Or basically anything that lives long enough to alt tab around.

There needs to be a patch today for gemshop update. Lord Farens rapier and the new finisher.

I am glad they dont make them for Black lion collections anymore. Would make getting the whole set for 3AP unneccessary more expensive.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

They will ban your main account, and all other alt accounts used in the multibox if caught.

Not sure if trolling. The poster above you already linked the official stance.

Anet could easily fix it by reducing the 20min respawn timer to 3min.

GuzziHero.2467:

As I was saying in LS chat yesterday, stories of out and out attempts to exploit people’s desires for these items backfiring on the seller make me laugh heartily. I really want the Aetherized Pistol skin, and I find it extremely amusing that those people listing them will never sell them at the price they are up for, yet removing them to try again at a lower price will lose them money.

You remind me of the the very worst stories of corporate greed. I have absolutely no sympathy. On the contrary, thank you for enlightening my day with this story of greed gone bad.

well, those people are patient enough to wait almost 2 years. I guess a couple year more wouldn’t hurt.

wish you luck if Anet re-release the item again. Which is unknown if they’ll ever do.

I would bet money that all the old/retired black lion collections will be rereleased for 2 tickets over time this year.

Serves you right for trying to sell a legendary instead of equipping it.

Victory.2879:

Making no changes to the achievements in wvw for so long (since start of game) just shows how little they know or care about wvw in general.

True, hopefully they will suprise us in the expansion

johnno.7543:

Why should someone have to lead around a bunch of people if they don’t want to? A commander has no obligation to lead, if someone doesn’t want to tag up it’s their choice. I know with my guild the reason we don’t tag up is because we enjoy fighting larger groups than us, and a lot of pugs will refuse to join TS which makes them a liability. Also my guild doesn’t capture anything even if we tagged up we ignore all objectives and just run around looking for fights lol so pretty much no benefit

And this is why a lot of the people who are not organized in a WvW guild think badly about them.

Nate.3927:

they could split it up the way the PvP kills achievement are split up. But removing the achievement or lowering the numbers needed would be bad. There are people out there who I believe have legitimately completed some of these achievements.

Noone completed any of the achievements except Ultimate Dominator (250k kills).

Sublimatio.6981:

Malediktus.3740:

I dont agree. I want everyone to see my almost 27k AP. If anything achievement points should become more visible. Maybe put them on nameplate, too.

You want everyone to see you’re an achievement farmer? It’s not impressive. I’m happy that the mastery system will show mastery points instead of lvl

Achievement farmers will most likely have an edge on mastery points, too. They said a lot of achievements (both old and new ones) give mastery points.

Each password works only once in GW2. If any other player used the password before it wont work. You need an unique password no other GW2 account is using or used before.

Gaile Gray.6029:

I’m happy to post what I know, but some is reiteration:

• A dev checked the drop rate and the item did drop and continues to drop at the anticipated rate. Actually, he said it was dropping a little more generously than anticipated, but at no time was it dropping a less than the planned rate.

more generously than anticipated sounds like mockery to me :/

I am not going to open ten thousands of bags which contain what feels like 99,999% of worthless junk

He probably means 180°

HtFde.3856:

The main problem from my point of view is that they have no intermediate titles as in GW1 – just think about the Luxon/Kurzick track … lots of intermediate titles between starting out and Saviour … why only all-or-nothing in GW2???

I assume because the GW2 achievement system only allows for one title and reward box per achievement track. They would have to split each achievement into several achievements or rework the entire achievement system. Both sounds like more work than reducing the current values to something realistic.

They are too lazy to flip the footprints.jpg by 180°

I hope it will be very hard to get if it comes back. Lvl 30 used to take quite a while to get before the rework.

I dont know anyone who left for CU pre-alpha.

You need gold to make gold. So no, not all of it.
But most of my gold, yea, I did that.

You only need gold to make gold if you play the trading post. Regular players dont need gold to make gold.

You need at least some gold to waypoint around the world to quickly make gold. Obviously it’s free to get to LA, the major cities, Fort Trinity (once you finish story), and the starting zones. But beyond that, you’d have to either waypoint or waste a lot of time running.

Plus, you’d need gold to sell any good drops you got while playing.

Lets say you spent all your gold for eternity you can walk for free to plains of ashford, do an ascalon catacombs full run and have 5g again. Thats plenty to waypoint again and post the regular drops and stuff on TP.

Probably on next Tuesday

Gold is just a tool. No reason to not buy what you want if you can afford it.

CindyKa.6137:

Interesting for someone who enjoys being in the top 10 you have complained more than anyone on the forums about having to farm those points. :p

I did? I had GW1 completed before GW2 came out.

Malediktus.3740:

Yes its a cosmetic issue, but still annoying.

Hehe, I know, just saying. Curiously I did a test and searched for “Halloween”, only the one I’m tracking showed up though.

I just searched for Halloween and it also shows the one you are tracking for me. But I am not tracking it.

Stability nerf seems like one of the worst ideas ever.

Could just remove achievements from the game. I would be okay with that.

To me that would be even worse than doing nothing

Hahaha, fair enough. I’m just not a fan of achievements in games in general. They influence behaviour and people don’t need gold stars every time they take a kitten.

Without achievements I probably wouldnt be at 8k hours played :p

shadow.6174:

You know what? My achievements tracker (top-right list thing) still shows Halloween Costume Brawl daily as I had it being watched. I left it that way on purpose lol. It seems the achievements aren’t really “removed” from the game, just made inaccessible and hidden.

Also, it’s merely a cosmetic issue maybe, the achievements cannot be completed anyway.

Yes its a cosmetic issue, but still annoying.

550 APs are always worth it if you ask me

Nah.

I’m in the same boat as OP, same 45/50, same number of titles. I’m also at the point where all of the easy AP is gone (#30 on NA leader boards).

For fifty lousy points I’d rather not bother with the most tedious aspects of Guild Wars 1.

Even better, I will make sure to enjoy my top 10 ranking :p

550 APs are always worth it if you ask me

Whenever I am trying to find a map with no commander there are minimum 4 IPs going on all the time. And all maps look crowded. Rarely less than 50 people in a zerg. Definitely a lot more going on than in regular wvw.

Why would you delete a map lots of people enjoy. Clearly more people enjoy eotm than regular wvw.

There was a bug with black lion collections randomly unlocking weapons you do not own. I guess this is the case here.

We’ll have to wait and see about the Fractal Mastery. I’m very interested to know what’s in store there as well, as what they include/don’t include will determine a lot of things about Fractals in the future.

I also just want to say to a few posters above that I don’t agree with the argument that “Fractals being unrewarding is good”. I realize that because it’s unrewarding, few low skill or poor attitude players are trying to get into it, so you get fewer not-so-great players in your groups. While on the surface that sounds good, it means in reality you have fewer people trying to learn the content and higher attrition of players who do know the content. Rewards being good in Fractals would mean that more people learn the content, more people do the content, and more people feel good about the content. Sure you’ll get some rotten eggs in the bunch, but I think as higher levels of Fractals are introduced, the Agony gate will encourage the top players to stay on top of the curve, so you will still get exclusivity in the quality of groups you run with. That’s my two cents, anyway.

Honestly the only time in fractals I have a problem with is 1-10 while pugging. Once you start hitting 30+ people tend to know what theyre doing. When I take people I know into 30+ we more or less just breeze through and laugh when people take really silly deaths like on bloomhunger in swamp because someone doesnt like a certain song on pandora and alt tabs and gets downed (its always me :p).

I have met people on fractals 50 who do not know the basics such as how the hammer works on cliffside fractal

The worst part of eotm is that crowdcontrol skills like fear, pulls and knockbacks are overpowered there. Nothing worse than loosing half your zerg to a single necro fear wall.

Malediktus.3740:

There is nothing special on the defense event. So even if you dont play for the rewards you miss out on a boss fight with unique mechanics not found anywhere else in the game.

The defense event does keep the statues turned off, though.

So does recapping it after defense event failed. I never saw someone complaining about the statues anyway tbh. So a few min with statues on wont hurt anyone.
