Guild Wars 2

This reorganisation is horrible. Why change something that isnt broken? It will make the general discussions even more of a mess because its moving quite fast already.

“The thing is, there is no good or evil……”

lol. lolololollollol. mwhahhahahahhahaaahaa. BAHAHAHHAHHAA.

I shouldn’t laugh as it’s kind of sad. To each their own.

It’s rather empowering, isn’t it though?

The shackles of all sentient action being struck off by such a liberating philosophy!

See, son, there’s not really good or evil, it’s just a preference thing; one man’s evil is another man’s ice cream and cake.

I made a mistake by posting my laugh. In response to:

“The thing is, there is no good or evil……”

I should have simply said this:

You are wrong.

No, morals are a human invention and are passed on from generation to generation by education from parents, religion, school, politicians etc. So is what is considered “good” and “evil”. If you look at the human history, the things considered “good” and “evil” change all the time, too.
Nature does not know good or evil. Ask a cat if it thinks wether killing for fun is evil or not. Or the old romans.
Good and evil are just inventions to justify certain actions by other humans.

The thing is, there is no good or evil. Everything in the eye of the beholder. The centaurs might have been innocent in this situation, but surely noones life is completly innocent.

The hypocrisy is big again here. Who cares if you have to slaughter some centaurs. Over your game time you will kill 100k+ creatures, so what does this small village matter.

I hate cliff hangers. This is why I prefer expansions over living story. No cliff hangers except maybe for a future main story.

I doubt this happened based on your suggestion. The german community manager Ramon Domke said, even the most simple items take minimum of 3 months to implement if you inclued all the QA phases.
And 500 gems seems to be slightly too expensive for something you rarely see for a blink of an eye

It’s part where makes GW2 TP fun isn’kitten no one knows what Anet will do.

I think a bunch of people is kicking theirself in the nutts they didn’t sell their wintersday weapon sooner.

I’m undecided on lovestruck weapon because valentine is coming soon… maybe I should sell mine etc.

It is always a good idea to create some sink for the less popular material. Maybe Anet will listen and you’ll hit the jackpot. I dont’ think it’s just gossamer. Many items could be retuned. Just don’t know which.

I dont think it will be a Jackpot. Even if they increase to 10s per bolt again I wont be able to buy one of the more expensive precursors with it. It would just help getting gossamer instead of silk feel more rewarding.

As for your BL weapons I would sell them. The patchnotes said they wont come back this year, so likely they will be back next year. Or improve your wardrobe with them.

Here is a screenshot. The achievement panel no longer gives any information about completed achievements other than their name. It used to show achievement points, title and reward chests, too. Please fix it or revert if its an intended change (very horrible if intended).

Seabreeze.8437:

Thank you so much for the response, Joey. It’s great to hear that the highly-requested tribal armor will be making a return—hopefully it will be very soon! I’m now eagerly awaiting the chance to obtain this and all the other PvP sets!

Malediktus.9250:

I hope it will be harder than completing trivial PvP tracks we have now.

Dude, reward tracks would be absolutely fine. You already have the set, as you’ve repeatedly stated (rolls eyes), so how will it’s method of acquisition affect you in any way, shape, or form?

Regardless, this is exciting news for everyone waiting for all these armor sets to finally come back! Consider me hyped!

Thanks again, Joey!

I dont want people to get stuff with less effort than I had to go through.

Thats because natural diamonds are mostly from a monopolist in real life. If governments would finnaly crush that monopoly you could buy a whole bag of diamonds for 10 USD

As for the precursors, I dont have any and dont intend to buy any at this point. So there is no point in me caring about the precursor economy at this time.

Joey Thompson.8064:

The Tribal armor set and other armor sets that were sPvP-exclusive will be obtainable again at some point in the future. There is no ETA as to when this will happen.

I hope it will be harder than completing trivial PvP tracks we have now.

How many more threads do people need to make about this? There are plenty already.

Maybe there are a lot of posts to this topic but more or less is just a discussion about if someone is missing this set or not. ;-)

I would like to know something new, or support other players who want the set back into the game.

My ele is very happy about 99.99% of the playerbase not being able to copy his look.

I remain quite happy to not be able to replicate your ele’s fashion disaster ;D

Still, to each his own. Bring it back, ANet, so I can cross off a few more squares in my wardrobe.

If something looks good or bad is in the eye of the beholder. I often get compliments for the look.

In the achievement UI it no longer shows how much achievement points an achievement gave after you finished it. Please fix.

I am glad they are not back. It costed me a lot of gems to get them out of those RNG boxes.

How dead do you think PvP was back then to think that only 0.01% of the playerbase got this armor ?

Well the PvP community was pretty small, you had to get r30 to reliably get the set (achievement point chests had too many possible outcomes to get a whole set from it), and you had to care enough about the armor to not salvage it.
0.01% of over 3m copies sold are over 300 by the way. Maybe my guess is off, but I am not sure its not significantly more than that.

People need to post weather or not they stocked a bunch of leather and gossamer before they make such claim.

I know the only reason I hope leather or gossamer price go up is because I stock up a bunch in the bank…. and it is just collecting dust now.

Of course I have a lot of it on bank. I wont sell anything for less than I feel like it would be worth with appropriate sinks and let speculators fill their guild banks with it and make big bank if a patch comes
I think John Smith is smart enough to check the accounts of people who make these kind of threads without them disclosing their items to the public though. I mean he doesnt hesitate to look up how often someone died when he claimed he never dies

ya I mean, I find it hard to believe anyone cares about the economy or some kitten what the price should be because they are at a higher tier…

People are probably just complaining that their investment don’t turn out big and is collecting dust in the bank.

Fun facts:
- An economy does not exist just for the sake of there being an economy, if you wouldnt be positively or negatively afftected by it, there would be no reason to care about the economy
- a problem like this where a more rare, higher quality resource is worth a fraction of a lower quality resource would never happen (or at least not last long) in real life, because people would invent new uses/recipes/whatever to make better use of said resource, in this virtual economy we depend on Anet to make enough sinks for resources since we cannot add our own inventions to the market
- the last time I bought gossamer, some time before ascended armors were introduced, it costed over 7s per bolt if I remember right

Thanatos.2691:

+1 for Tribal Armor. I wasn’t able to PvP for it when it was available since that was when I was on a public router that would reset every 15 minutes. Perhaps they could introduce it into the gemstore along with a heavy/medium armor set that never made it into the game early on.

Or maybe introduce it as a wintersday gift……………………………… Hint Hint ANet

because legacy PvP armors and wintersday make totally sense sarcasm

I do not agree with this suggestion except if the track requires all 8 champion class titles to unlock. There need to be reward tracks specifically for PvP veterans. The current tracks all unlock way too easily.

No the PvP reward tracks are a lot faster than dungeon. 3 pathes = 180 tokens + a few from random drops. Completing a reward track = 3 weapons + 1 armor.
Weapons cost upto 390 tokens (2h weapons) + upto 330 for armor. Plus you get some tokens on top of it. So one day of PvP can saves you over one week of daily runs (except Arah since it has 4 pathes, but almost noone does all 4 per day since they are much longer than other dungeons).

cafard.8953:

Seeing how the “too much silk” problem got “solved”, i don’t think you really want gossamer fixed.

I actually like how they solved the silk problem. We need the same for t5+6 leather, mithril and gossamer.

Check your trading post history if you sold the skin instead of applying it.

Anet should pull these leaderboard rewards before its too late. None of the current top 20 deserves these rewards

I dont agree. PvP Reward Tracks are too easy.

Compared to what? RNG? LOL?

Before you had to get r30 to even get a chance to work on these armors (there were mystic forge recipes as a good alternative to the RNG chests). And r30 took a lot longer than it does with inflated rank points today.

Yeah, it was a great alternative. Farm to get glory to buy a wolf chest, then use a pvp salvage kit, then pray the RNG from salvaging would give you the correct items to throw into the forge. Continue to do so till you get said items. Then throw into the forge and pray that RNG doesn’t screw you over once more.

Boy, doesn’t that sound like FUN!?

Sounds very fun to me, better than having everything served on a silver plattern. I dont enjoy rewards which get thrown at you for doing nothing.
After getting r30, getting the tribal armor set was for sure faster than doing these boring reward tracks 6 times. It was RNG but the chances were quite high.

I made an Excel sheet to calculated how long it takes to get all 19 fractal skins (average) based on the guild [KING]s research data.
lvl 20 daily – 1774 runs
lvl 30 daily – 1466 runs
lvl 40 daily – 695 runs
lvl 50 daily – 592 runs

If you do all dailies every day its 914 runs on average for the full set. 228 days of doing all 4 dailies straight.

If Fractal Chest would be added to the game it would take 167 runs of lvl 50 on average for the set.

I dont agree. PvP Reward Tracks are too easy.

Bosses requiring luck to show up. Bad design. Especially with putting titles requiring fighting them.

I think its great design. Makes the title take a bit of effort at least. Not just another show up and reap the rewards thing.

I know a person who did it exactly like that (managed to cap all legendaries within 10 minutes of logging to the map, with no effort put into it whatsoever, just as a sideeffect of chest farming). That’s the downside of RNG – it doesn’t require any effort. Just luck.

You can apply the same logic to precursors. The fact that only some people are that lucky makes it valuable.

Oldirtbeard.9834:

Be that as it may you’re not paying for it unless you forget to log in, then if your talking 2.5 seasons that’s still only 20$ which is reasonable in price for 2.5 seasons.

I would rather pay them 60€ for a proper expansion than getting this for free.

Not wrong. The effort for completing a reward track differs too much to make it equal.
If you make it the same chance you also would have an outrage if you need to complete the reward track over 900 times (on average) for a set. The chance at fractals lvl 50 is about 10% for a skin, but you cant choose which skin and you can get duplicates.

I think it should stay the way it is. Have exclusive rewards in PvP and PvE. I think it was a mistake to make dungeon armors available in PvP to begin with. Getting the dungeoneer achievement in PvP is much easier and faster than in PvE, which seems paradox to me.

Oldirtbeard.9834:

As much as I would like to see a traditional expansion you have to keep in mind that ANet could likely handle 2.5 living seasons per year; if one season follows the current trend of 2 zones with a new set of gear/weps per zone then over the course of 2 years you would see 5 zones with a 5 new sets of gear to work toward which sounds like an expansion to me.

Sounds like a very small expansion to me. The 3 zones (southsun, dry top, silver wastes) so far have been very small in comparison to the zones included in the game. Also no new dungeons, no new classes, no new races, no new permanent dungeons for ages, no new weapon choice, only new healing skills noone uses, some useless new grandmaster traits).
I wouldnt have paid more than 20 USD / 15€ for this kind of expansion.

Wanze.8410:

Killface.1896:

My reason why T6 should be more than T5 is it have lot lower drop rate and you should not be unhappy when you salvage and get T6

All over the place people are complaining about crappy loot, bad rewards and abysmal rng.
Now you get a loot table that awards you with the more valuable item 90% of the time and you complain about the 10% being less valuable.

Higher tier and higher rarity crafting mats should always be more valuable. Anything else defies logic. Its just anet fault for not making sure there is the correct amount of sinks for this item. Gossamer will sink to vendor price if nothing is being done in the long run. Ideally I would say each crafting mat tier should be at bare minimum worth 25%, preferably 50% more than the previous tier.

Terrible idea. On average it takes over 900 fractal runs to get the whole collection of 19 skins. Thats all 20 30 40 50 daily for over 200 days straight.
PvP reward track would trivialize it.
Plus PvP reward tracks can be grinded on Skyhammer maps or by afking way too easily.

Not interested unless you get paid for it.

I will be quite disappointed if there is no expansion in 2015. The content we get feels tiny compared to expansions of other MMOs.

Gossamer bolts now below 1s (70c buy orders), this doesnt feel right. Anet do something please.
Silk is worth over 8 times more :/

Obviously, this is the time to buy and finish leveling tailoring. To the TP!

No need. I maxed all crafting professions long ago. And the amount of gossamer you need to level everything to max is abysmal.

I dont like these changes. Glad anet doesnt hire you for balancing.
These changes would also have too much impact on PVE and WvW.

I know all that. I am asking Anet to add new sinks for cheap materials such as gossamer. Or let us demote them to lower tier mats.
It shouldnt feel like a punishment when you salvage something and you get a more rare, higher tier material.

Gossamer bolts now below 1s (70c buy orders), this doesnt feel right. Anet do something please.
Silk is worth over 8 times more :/

Then you would waste time of a GM and getting permanently banned is not that easy. Even flyhackers in WvW often take weeks until they are banned.

The question is why you not just uninstall the game and forget about it? Just have some self discipline and it will work out.

Hello Geekfox! If you don’t mind, could you provide a name of someone in that particular who would be willing to serve as a taxi into that particular map instance? We’d like to send in a krewe to investigate and see if we can identify the root of the issue once and for all!

Edit: In addition to this, please let us know precisely where it has stalled along the chain. The more information you can provide, the better equipped we are when approaching the event!

Thanks!

Are you saying your devs cant teleport into any instance they like without a taxi? :O

What about a reward chest with 1 piece of the 3 currently unavailable sets of armor? Mini Llama could be a choice in that chest if you prefer it over an armor piece.

If I wanted to believe something I would go to the church.
So +1

Of course they are working on stuff.
Like the next 9001 sets of black lion ticket weapons.
Or the next sets 50 of talking backpacks and gathering tools.

Why you even want to farm this? It doesnt seem even remotely worse it to me. Just farm gold and buy the bags on TP.
