its a little unfair that i earned tribal set and you didn’t?
while i was pvping you were pveing and earned your Wings of the Sunless,
i guess its a little unfair that i wasn’t given that, Anet should mail me it…

please folks stop trying to get the very few old rare heirloom items made commonplace.
there isn’t much of value in this game, legendaries are all over the place, go to lions arch you’ll see 20 people with Twilight.
the Tribal set is one of the few things that i’m happy i have because of its scarcity.
you folks just want everything to be worthless and commonpool.

Its unfair that you got Tribal set from RNG and I currently cannot.

It was very mild RNG. The hardest part was getting rank 30 in pvp which took a long time back then.
GW2 is about cosmetic progression rather than statistical progression. I dont see anything wrong with people wanting to be special snowflakes.
This whole “special snow flakes are stupid” feels like the new communism. A new age of terror.

lordkrall.7241:

And there we have it then. You complain about lack of (in your eyes) good selections, and yet you didn’t even try to do anything about it yourself by submitting something that would be good in your eyes.

Not really. At least half of the non winners looks better than the winners to me. Anet has a bad taste if they think those quaggans are the two best submissions.
I talked with friends and guilds on TS about the emblems and noone considered the quaggans, mordrem wolf head or llama head in their top 5.
The least Anet should do is adding at least 25 of the submissions into the game, not just their top 5.

that does not seem like much. I think a lot of people will have masteries maxed in 2 weeks :/

Seems more like how to make the game tedious and annoying rules and not hardcore rules

Sadly the damage looks abysmal.

Gaebriel.3754:

I…am genuinely baffled on how anyone could ever be annoyed by something as minor as a notice on a loading screen. I mean, heaven forbid you’re going to the store and discover they ran out of milk haha. :P

It ruins the loading screen. Some people actually like looking at the loading screen art.

Yes, I hate that it is in such an intrusive place even if you bought HoT already.

Comparing the new values to placeholder values is a bit pointless. We knew 2 years ago that these numbers are placeholders. So calling it a nerf is somewhat inappropriate, too. You should consider it as fixing them to the intended values.

If anything I am suprised that they leave Ultimate Dominator alone considering how much harder it is to get lots of kills per evening compared to earlier metas and higher WvW population.

Anything that destroys a skin unlocks it in the wardrobe if you dont have it yet.

Malediktus.9250:

Ok I just tested this. Did the kill 1 Hylek one. Does not appear on your regular character. So unless Anet will transfer those achievements to the real accounts after Beta they are useless to do.

You do them for the mastery points, not the AP.

the mastery points are also useless if they dont carry over to your normal characters

Ok I just tested this. Did the kill 1 Hylek one. Does not appear on your regular character. So unless Anet will transfer those achievements to the real accounts after Beta they are useless to do.

I wonder why it takes anet so long to give us a simple and short yes or no answer.

Jana.6831:

Quon Star.4678:

Do you guys think they will be changing the Edge of the Mist achievements too?

Are they hard to get?

No. You can complete all the eotm stuff in 2 months of casual karma training.

Ok for the people who want to track their lifetime progress there could be a “Master of Overkill” like achievement which gives 0 AP but counts forever.

2500 takes plenty of time required if you would start playing WvW now. I got more than 2500 myself, but think 2500 is a fair time investment. And it will only get worse that you can make dolyaks invulnerable in HoT and make them harder to farm.

any news wether these achievements will carry over to non beta chars?

Tyler Bearce.3427:

For Heart of Thorns, we are rebalancing the WvW Lifetime achievement requirements to much more reasonable numbers. At the same time we’ll also be updating many of their associated titles.

• We are not changing the Realm Avenger (“Ultimate Dominator”) achievement requirements or title, as some players have actually obtained it and it’s a bit of a status symbol.
• The “Yakslapper” title will remain, but the requirement is being reduced to 2500 yaks.
• As an example title change: “Ultimate Liberator” will become “Kingmaker”

Sounds good to me. Especially changing the titles since Ultimate xyz is a bit boring,
I am currently at 199.5k kills, guess I need to go killing again :p

“Makes the next set of dolyaks invincible, guaranteeing that they will reach their destination.”
Looks like yakslapper is getting a nerf (become even more annoying)^^

It is not a punishable offense because they did not kick you but finished the dungeon. You are not obligated the follow the lfg description, so if they just finish your dungeon without kicking you, you are out of luck.

Requesting peoples API keys will be the future :P
The guild I recently joined already asked me for it.
(elitist here)

If you give up trying to achieve change you already lost :p

Anet never deletes accounts. Worst thing that will happen is that they get permanently closed.

The hammer skin Mjolnir makes a huge cube around you if you stealth or use an omnom ghost. People in my group complain about it frequently because it covers a large part of their view. I am playing a maximum sized Norn so the cube around you is really huge…
Would be great if it could be fixed considering its a very expensive skin.

You will need to write a ticket to the customer support for that.

I dont see this working. The scaling system in this game is already not very good and prefers large groups. So if the raid is made for 10 peple, 11-20 will have an easier time even if it gets scaled.

Sounds like a good idea, considering they cannot be aquired the usual way

Since legendary armor is cosmetic only and offers no stat advantage over ascended, there is no issue if non raiders cannot get it.

I cannot invite people to my group via right clicking my friends in the list anymore. This issue appeared with todays patch

Ayrilana.1396:

The biggest issue I saw with the TP is that the T6 from laurels could be sold. Now that we know they won’t even get daily login rewards, it’s not an issue. Them being able to mine/log/harvest will not impact the economy as much as you’d think.

If anything it will make T6 mats and mystic coins more valuable if free players cannot get laurels but by from TP.

Wanze.8410:

Menadena.7482:

Well, you were good while you lasted.

I didnt decide to crash it just yet.

We could crash the market for a certain item. I am sure you know which one :p

I cant watch the Twitch stream because I dont install Flash.

Contacting the customer support is your best bet

Solomon Darkfury.3729:

I’m actually disappointed at this news. I’d rather they spend an extra 2-4 weeks giving us a more polished product AND not kitten us out of what is traditionally been the favorite holiday for GW2 players… Halloween

Do you really think they started working on Halloween 2012 after the 25 August 2012? They plan things ahead and they have already polished Halloween 2015 for several weeks… or not.

Its unlikely they will have HoT and Halloween at the same time. Patching nightmare.

Julie Yann.5379:

Orpheal.8263:

See, as I understood that programmer from Anet, they absolutely want to fix it – one day, but yet they have no plans for it naturally, because the top priority right now is naturally first bringign out Heart of thorns currently… and then there is this big data problem that he described to me that is the main reason, why they are currently for so long time “clueless” how to solve it…

If they really wanted to fix this they would have done so already. It just never was, isn’t, and probably never will be on the priority list.

I wonder if anything about WvW is on their priority list in the top 1000

Zalavaaris.5329:

Yea… the trailer wouldn’t advertise all of these max level activities only to limit them to lvl 15. They showed wvw so that also implies that the free players will also gain access to rhat. Guys I don’t think we are looking at a trial here. This looks like full on free to play.

Indeed. The datamined stuff is like 1 year old, so this is likely something completly new.

Pat Cavit.9234:

I know it seems like we’ve forgotten about the APIs from time to time, but I promise we haven’t. Some of this data is just a real adventure to get into usable form that we can expose!

I didnt see anyone complain

It is amazing to see how fast the API is expanding

Nothing we say will change their mind. Its Anet. Dont get your hopes up

I am worried what this will do with the daily login rewards. It could potentially make many items worthless.

ESO has a /sitchair emote, it basically spawns a chair in the spot of the character for the duration of the emote (until you cancel it). Maybe it would be a solution for Anet?

sadly the blogpost (https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/the-second-beta-weekend-event-begins-september-4/) mentions nothing about it, so we still dont know how it will work

ArchonWing.9480:

Wonder why they haven’t added achievements for reaching X rank. It would make more sense to have titles for that as currently WvW rank is merely for your enemies to view or the occasional yellow item.

I would not mind seeing such an achievement track. Maybe 5 AP per new rank and 10*tier AP per new tier reached?
There are 105 ranks and 7 tiers. Would result in a total of 805 AP for diamond legend

Purple Miku.7032:

I think it’s important to recognise a hopeless situation. I read about 70% of that post and I’m shocked I lasted that long. Forget that, don’t waste your time replying to somebody who thinks that easy and difficult content should give identical rewards.

My god… the gaming community these days… sigh.

As elitists we should not talk to the filthy peasants, they live in a different world than us :P
I always feel ill after seeing people complain about xyz is too hard while I find it mindnumbing easy.

That is a shame, I definitely use F12 more often to logout than to switch characters. I dont know why stuff like this always gets forced on everyone instead of making it a toggle option somewhere.

Geekfox.4267:

F12 + Space combo was a bug that shouldn’t been introduced. It was quite annoying to unintendedly toggle that combo key without mouse cursor interaction when I wanted to switch toons.

As I said never: happened to me intentionally in 9200h. I want this back. I hate when useful things are changed just because some people are careless

Lunacy Solacio.6514:

Oh so they did change this? Finally. Do you know how easy it was to accidentally log yourself out completely? It was very frustrating.

how do you accidently press F12 and Space? It never happened once to me in 9200 hours.

log in screen = the first thing you see when you open gw2.exe not the character selection

You used to be able to quickly go back to login screen by pressing F12+space. Since todays patch it just opens F12 and makes me jump
Why was this convenience removed? Just because some people told others to press F12+space (similar to Alt+f4)?
Now in addition to the silly SMS authentificator reminders I am also getting inconvenienced by this when logging through my 30 accounts every day.

Malediktus.9250:

It pays, but abusing the weaknesses of human minds (free will does not exist) is hardly an honest business modell.

Thank you for seeing my point

The problem is that point is totally fallacious. If free will doesn’t exist & people do things because they have no real choice, then the business can’t be dishonest since the creators of that business model had no choice in creating it.
You can’t say people’s minds have an insurmountable weakness then only apply that where it fits your argument.

You dont seem to understand it. It is as if you said there should be no law and order system just because murdering someone was not your free will. There is something called “nudging” which influences what your brain (nothing more than a powerful organic computer) will do, similar to actio and reactio in basic physics.

Shirlias.8104:

hope?

be unable to get any stuff just cause u haven’t play or got the game is bad.
or have an item that others doesn’t make you feel better?

There are plenty of items you can get at any time, blame yourself if you need exactly this item.
