Set character model limit to lowest (you can probably keep the rest on max, at least I do) and restart your game before going to large events like tequatl. It helped reducing the amount of out of memory errors I get a lot.
If you use the searchengine in the achievement panel and search for winter you can still see the wintersday dailies, which is probably not supposed to happen.
During the final fight of the Jade Maw fractal, our characters seem to hold the crystal incorrectly. Its inside one hand while the other hand is just holding air. See screenshot for the details.
The skybox in the pvp map “Forest of Nihel” seems to be bugged. As you can see the skybox is split into a lighter and a darker half. If I rotate the camera the skybox split line moves, too.
So far I only experienced this bug on this map, all other maps are unaffected.
Def event gives nothing that you cant also get from attacking.
You’ve got a bit of a blind spot there. You seem to think that getting something — loot, trait, or whatever — is the only possible motive for doing an event, and getting more somethings is always better. You seem to think that only trolls could possibly be perverse enough not to share that motive. Well, Horatio, there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
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.
Join a giant guild, takes about 40 hours of farming to get 1000 kills. I went from 32 to 630 kills in a few giant farming sessions.
If you are on EU I can invite you, just let me know on my main account.
Most likely they will refund it. People who bought it for 3,75 dollar knew it was not the intended price. People who tried to get this “deal” should feel bad for trying to exploit an honest mistake.
This is so annoying. I was camping at Lyssa temple and def event starts but 3 people keep doing the event besides getting asked to let it fall. I think the def event needs to be much harder so 3 people cant troll the dozens who want to have the chance for allseeing eye.
One of the players even boasted in map chat about what he was doing. Whats worse it was a player with 16k AP, so its clearly not a case of “I only have 15min to play per day”
I am getting more ascended chests from eotm per month than from fractals in total. If I counted right I had 5 or 6 ascended weapon chests and 2 armor chests from eotm this month.
I got 2 ascended weapon chests in total from fractals and I got over 25k leftover tokens.
People who do the def despite better knowledge event are obviously selfish people who want to deny people the chance for the desired loot.
Never have read anything more ridiculous of you.
So now are people, who play the game like intend selfish?
God, how awful and pathetic this kind of attidude is, really-.
There is no other way to get this item other than buying it from other players, so if you deny players the option to earn the item you are obviously being selfish.
They will get harassed. if they join a party whos leader has it turned on, and they dont. guess what, the harassment starts. If 1 person is advertising for a run and a party of 2 or 3 join and demand a gear check and if that person doesnt want to, Toddles.
Having this solves nothing and does nothing for the game.
No thank you. Pinging gear is quick enough already. Takes barely any time to shift click all the gear in your inventory. would it be a little faster? maybe.But its not needed.
That’s not all that different from the way things are right now. You have your zerks only ping gear or kick groups, and you have your all are welcome groups. People who don’t like one type will join the other type. Having this feature won’t do anything to affect that.
It’s more complex than that though, they’d have to build an entire ‘inspect’ ui for looking at other players.
I can’t imagine it’ll be too hard to implement… they already have something similar for previewing dyes and armor.
There is (was?) an inspect feature for spectating pvp games already. Havent spectated PvP games in a long time so it might have changed with the pvp rework.
Just contact the customer support with time and time zone of the salvage and tell them you salvaged it by mistake. If its the first time you salvaged/destroyed something by mistake they will help as far as I know.
The essence is a rare drop from the chests in silverwastes, but the low demand for the focus (why have a crafting ingredient for just one item?) and the army of farmers there make this drop kind of worthless.
The scavenger hunt was about the ugly dagger and overpriced dagger called Reaper of Souls or something like that.
If anything the game has too much titles.
Throwing them out like candy (Combat Healer, Honorary Skritt, Loyal, Dark Traveler, the SW legendary titles, all AP titles, etc) devalues all titles.
There is no going back now unless anet somehow makes say “Legendary Titles” that look different (shape, font, colour) and require actual effort/skill to obtain.
Look at WoW, it has much more titles than GW2 i believe. More titles to choose from is always nice.
If 2.5 years after release heritage titles from GW1 still have the most prestige in the game you know something is wrong.
I still wear GWAMM title over even the 25k achievement point title.
They take a long time to sell unless you undercut a large amount. And even then chances are you get undercut again and then it can take weeks to sell.
At least this is my experience lately, I might be unlucky.
Your best bet is waiting for new collection achievements and then craft any required weapon which needs skillpoints. On the first day there are usually good profits.
Why is this rare ingredient only used in a single and unpopular focus skin recipe? It feels a bit unrewarding if you get around 3s for this drop.
I think it would be nice to have a whole time themed weapon set, which possibly even need more than one time essence each to craft to give this drop a bit more value.
Give people achievement multipliers based upon server loyalty.
you’ve been on a server for 2 months? earn 1 completion for each dolyak escort – been there two years earn 10 for each…..
Makes use of the existing achievement and rewards server loyalty. May even discourage AP/Title hunters from server hopping.
Sever loyality is nonsense. Noone should feel force to have to stay on one server if they do not like it there anymore.
Wildstars problem was the huge amount of bugs and the art style which turned many of the people of its target audience away. Cartoonish graphics arent for many people nowadays.
Why would there waypoints there anyway? They don’t automagically install themselves now, do they? Somebody had to go install them. Who? When? How? Point being, if there are waypoints, this is not unexplored territory.
You don’t think the pact fleet had the means with them to install waypoints?
The pact fleet was destroyed within minutes of reaching the djungle.
Add new achievements that are the same as the old achievements, but are repeatable like the repeatable salvage achievement. (example: 5 points for every 100 SM captures). Tweak the numbers so that they are fair and cap them so they have limits, which limits the damage of any abuse.
Done.
(Also add an achievement tied to WvW rank).
No they should fix the old achievements instead of making repeatable ones. So people can actually earn the titles and such.
Well GW2 is still pretty time consuming if you set yourself the right goals. I think I never spent so much time on a MMO than this one.
Even if you convert 100k € of gems to gold it will not significantly speed up the process to become top 100 in achievements for example, even if you started at headstart and didnt miss any historical achievement.
I defeated Liadri with a life-stealing thief without throwing a single orb.
Which was an exploit which was quickly fixed as soon as it become known to the common public. You should feel ashamed.
MMORPGs are traditionally a genre which is more about time investment than being skilled, so I dont get this whole “I dont have much time because I have family, work etc”. You are probably in the wrong genre and one the reasons why MMORPG genre has gone downhill in the last 10 years.
Now you probably say the MMO players from 10 years ago are adult now, which is true. But those people forget new people are born all the time. The world population is still growing exponentially.
Grinding gold is easy, they are handing out legendarys now because social casual gamers cry. They dont want to put the time in to earn what everybody else has. They want it now and without a challenge.
Perhaps for those that don’t actually have lives but for people who aren’t able to play several hours every day of the year, grinding the amount of gold needed for Legendary weapons is far from “easy”. Some people want to play the game without it being like a job (MUST grind for hours everyday to earn enough gold!!).
Trying to make casual players seem like whiners is pretty elitist of you. With work, a wife, life, I probably average an hour of gaming per day each week. I’ll normally try and do a couple dungeon paths and other things, making progress on alts, etc, and that means I make a few gold in a day. A year of steady play like that wouldn’t even get me close to what 1 Legendary costs. As for drops, I’ve never had a precursor drop, let alone even have anything worth more than 3 gold drop.
I’ve been playing since the pre-launch and had initially hoped to work towards being able to get one, but have just felt the legendary dream get farther and farther out of reach as time has progressed. I’m no closer now than a year ago. I do hope that getting a precursor does end up more doable in HoT. With the current “ease” of getting a legendary, I won’t have one before 2020.
Hear here.
I’m in almost the exact same boat – sans a wife. I don’t have the time for all the stupid, insane amount of hours that goes into a Legendary. Sorry, Dark Souls elitest wanabes – but fact is, the game is alive because of people like Egg Shenen and I. Why?
I don’t have time to throw at a bloody game – but what do you think I do when I’m not playing? I work. Now, just because I don’t have infinite time to put into the game, that doesn’t mean I’m not a good player. On the contrary. I’ll school half of the Dark Souls wanabe legion in how not to engage an Engineer and here’s a hint: Don’t. I wanted a Legendary, so I got one. The only way the game would ever let me.
I don’t give a snivelling kitten if y’all bunch of high school tweenies want to call me a, “Credit Card Warrior (Engineer, thanks)”, but the fact is, with the $400 I purchased my Predator with, the some developer’s wages for the week were paid, some server costs were covered, yada yada yada.
The lot of you better wake up and smell the coffee – the game’s not here to provide for you elitests. It’s here to make money. And the developers made a very smart decision – side with the people actually earning money that will be willing to put it into the game, rather than being obstinate elitests themselves. That’s business, kids.
If it makes you feel any better, feel free to try and kill me when you see me rolling around the Tarnished Coast Borderlands. Go on. I dare you.
You sound more arrogant then the majority of people you make fun of in that post.
Presumably unlocking the higher tiers will require quite a lot of points, but it’s also worth bearing in mind that there will be a finite number of points that can be earned. You get them by completing specific pieces of content, not indefinitely like skill points. There might well be more mastery tracks and tiers than you can unlock with the points available.
That would be crazy. Not saying it’s impossible – the trait revamp was also crazy, it’s not like ANet is great at understanding the impact of changes.
But limiting player access to content like that would be insane. With classes and races we can make an alt, with skills and traits we can unlock and swap. Preventing a player from ever getting access to all the mastery tracks would be a complete slap in the face.
Achievements (all achieves or only some they didnt say) will also give mastery points. So if you have 20k+ AP you might have enough mastery points for the start.
There was one person that solod the giant champion in Harathi Hinterlands to fully complete the achievement. I wouldn’t advise that unless you are very dedicated though.
Considering the long respawn time of the event and the time to solo the champ we are looking at 500+ hours?
Yeah, pretty much. Have to be very dedicated. xD
I cant believe anyone would do that. Even soloing the brisban event would be much faster if it only spawns 1 giant.

I joined a giant slayer guild yesterday.. Went from 32 to 263 kills since then. Its doable with that event. You can still find different ips with guesting. There are usually 3 IPs here in EU megaserver.
If you are on EU megaserver you can send me a message on my main account (Malediktus.9250) and I can invite you
