Guild Wars 2

5 guardian groups are the way to go in my experience. Little damage, but good survivability.

There is an unconfirmed rumor that your difficulty level gets reset once a week. So you get to lvl 10 difficulty week 1 and then it resets and you have to start at 1 again. This would solve your issue.

That would suck. It would mean people who cant play much will never reach the higher difficulty levels.

Yes, its great, no more zerging.

amulets, rings and earrings are no longer soulbound, but can be traded on the trading post.
But the exotics without sigils or runes are soulbound on aquire
Guess best to throw them into the mystic forge for something tradeable.

Unbearable lag. Please dont ever do events like these again, before you invested in better servers. And I though lag during Claw of Jormag event was bad. But this was 100 times worse.

I am excited. I love new and more powerful items.

You can buy skillpoints with tokens from the new dungeon.

Precursors are still way too rare.

I hope they will drop down to below 10g each if they start dropping during the event.

Was at 3.5k+ before patch, 1.7k after, now 2.8k.
Please give my points back.

Magic find does not help with those chests. It only helps with monster loot.

Why are the new minis only avaible by big luck from those chests or if you spend a fortune on the TP for them. It was much better on halloween, when you could buy them for a fixed gem price. I dont enjoy gambling or throwing huge amounts of gold to lucky people.

Transmuted items loose their rarity, in this case they are not legendary anymore. Tough luck.

I went from 3.5k to 1.7k, what happened?

Kamahl.3621:

Ironically because people value their colored text over having good stats, a lot of Twilight, Sunrise, and Eternity wielders are kittening themselves with vit/tough/power weapons, when a tanky weapon is the opposite intention of the greatsword (at least on warrior and guardian, my ranger is level 2 so I haven’t looked at the skills there).

Are you kidding? Power Vit Toughness is perfect.

I went from over 3.5k to 1.7k, seriously? As if points from daily and monthly achievements were deleted.

no, transmuting legendaries will downgrade them to the item which delivers the stats. it also wont work for eternity anymore and most likely wont be upgraded to ascended tier stats anymore either.

3min if you are in the open world, 3 hours if you are in a dungeon

Maybe they let us download the patch today, so everyone will have the chance to download it in time? I assume it will be bigger than halloween update.

They could adjust percentage needed to event participants. So if there are 50 people you will have to do less damage than when 10 players are there.

I did path 1 after maintenance and didnt notice any difference.

So I tried to do the plinx farm runs for my first time ever yesterday, but I noticed there were at least 30-50 people there and most mobs were dead before the game finished loading the character model of the mobs. Even champion monsters usually died in about 30 seconds.
So please make the health of event monsters scale better. With so many people around everything needs at least 10 times as much health to make a noticeable difference.

Colin Johanson:
“The level cap will be 80 on the initial release of the game, and we absolutely would increase it further into the game, probably through expansions is the most likely place we would do that.”
awsome. I hope they will double the level cap each expansion.

It would be a good idea for an anet employe to remove 3800g from the economy, by creating a tradeable lemon.

Yes, they should get rid of the level cap and just keep downscaling to every zone.

3800g is not much for a trader. In my guild are 3 traders with over 2500g each. They make about 100g profit a day by manipulating the market.

Please go ahead and keep adding more item and character progression. Its a very good way to keep pve interesting for a long time. New skins are good, but what if you dont like the new skins or like the one you have more? After all visuals are personal preference.

… and character progression …

What.

Gear = character progression??

: – |

what you mean? Gear is part of character progression.

lemons are untradeable, so noone will get the 3800g. On the wierd side, someone wasted 190g for listing fees. Next time give the money to me.

I asked in my guild and friend list. Most people are in favor for a sensible (small, like anet is doing with ascended) itemspiral. The rest of the people didnt care. Not a single person said they hate the idea.

Ever since I am playing GW2 I noticed the keyboard layout randomly changing from QWERTZ to QWERTY during gameplay. Only way to change it back seems to be to restart the game.
I already went to the system controls and deleted all keyboard layouts except QWERTZ one, but it didnt help.

Please go ahead and keep adding more item and character progression. Its a very good way to keep pve interesting for a long time. New skins are good, but what if you dont like the new skins or like the one you have more? After all visuals are personal preference.

They trashed the holy trinity so you could any dungeon without having the classic “LF tank” or “LF priest”.

Wait, now we have “LF full ascended player”. That’s much better.

I have yet to see LF full exotic player. So that argument doesn’t hold that much ground.
Though I guess you will see LF ascended player for deeper levels of the same dungeon.

It does hold ground because only Ascended armor can be Infused and thus offer any protection from Agony.

the Real question is Is Ascended gear really the most optimal option for all content

in WvW and explorable’s am i still better off useing Exotic because I can slot ruins
were i can only slot infusion in Ascended

and what are the stats on Infusion exactly ((this we realy need to know))

There are no stats, only protection for Agony, making Ascended gear pigeonholed into a certain stat set.

so basically I am still better off going for Exotics for EVERY OTHER PART OF THE GAME! or legendaries but that will take some time

Exactly, as the Ascended gear may offer a very slight stat increase, it still cannot be custom tailored to your build. This would make Exotics valuable as they can be tailored to suit your play style.

Wouldnt this mean just another way for anet to sell bank and bag slots?

Bad idea. Let people play as they like.

More and more powerful items are always welcome. Item and character progression is part of any good MMORPG.

If you transmute it, you are likely out of luck, because its not a legendary anymore after it.

Please no dungeon finder. Its a horrible immersion breaking idea.

The more tiers the better. I like item progression.

The halloween exotics seem to be dropping still. I wonder why?

Power Vit Tougness is my favorite stat combination.

Who cares if they are rare? All that matters is if you like the skin or not.

nachtnebel.9168:

They should just add an NPC in LA that, once you hit 80, gives you to options:
a) get all ascended gear for free and right now
b) go and grind for it

All players would be happy. Those who want more grind content can still grind and the others have no gear treadmill. Even if you are out of the game for a year, all you would have to do is to go to that NPC and your gear is up to speed again.

Worst suggestion ever. This is not a FPS.

Exactly, people will even take you with the old rare and exotic gear in arah. Only the most elitist snobs would exclude you for not having best possible gear.

The Blog appeared after my question. Guess this can be closed now.
Poor people who transmuted different stats on their legendary

drkn.3429:

So you have high population at 4am? That still sounds way off – medium would make sense.
It’s much more likely that FULL means 5000/5000 accounts that took it as their homeworld (random number), while 4999/5000 shows as HIGH. That 5k is the absolute lowest for server cap, imho, and with that many people and still free server transfers having one people transfer away overnight isn’t that unlikely.

More speculations are welcome. Still looking for any dev words, even hints at it.

How is it off? We got a strong night crew in WvW and some people play pve too.

I would enjoy max lvl being 9001.

you see how many people are logged in. My homeserver always turns from full to high at about 3-4 am.

Exactly, calm down peoples. It wont be mandatory to have, at least in my groups.

Will we be able to upgrade legendary items to ascended stats without using transmutation stones, so they keep legendary status and color?

I love it, more things to work on in this game

I just hope legendaries can be upgraded without transmutation stones.
