Guild Wars 2

No reason to play this map as soon as you completed the achievements (2-3 hours).

It’s a relief to see this. I admit this with trepidation, but I always have this nagging fear that my thousands of hours in play will eventually net me a ban, just for some exploit I didn’t realize was an exploit, or something else. It’s nice to see that it won’t come without warning.

And of course you’re always welcome to discuss the matter in a support ticket if you’re in doubt about something. Rest assured, too, that in the very unlikely event that your account were inaccurately flagged — and again, that’s a very, very rare situation — the team will react as quickly as possible to your ticket.

But I agree with you that having warnings for certain activities is a good thing.

Getting inaccurately flagged seems to happen more often than unlikely, or I am unlucky. I had a name flagged and a perm ban before. Both was undone by support.

It might have been stealth fixed. Tried to pick up these bottles on Dry Top today and was unable to. They dropped to the floor but no option to pick them up. Can anyone confirm?

I like stacking on seafarers rest. Everyone move to SFR!

Nothing is off the table.

insanemaniac.2456:

but it makes the skritt sentry guild challenge so much less annoying……

I used the bottle and it did mediocre damage. Is there a trait that goes with this that’s bugged?

it does fixed 10% of a mobs health as damage.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

i almost cry with this post . .. . OP you are a genius HAJAJAJAJA

pLEASE let me know the name of the guild that did this to you . . . i will send them 135234624 gold.

I did it, now send me the gold. Kthxbye

You should have played Glints lair in GW1. Even on normal mode it was a lot more challenging than this.

I genuinely cannot tell if this is a troll thread. Personally, I’d like to see people on rank farm servers banned in general.

An Anet employe already said that rank farm servers are perfectly legit.

Apolo.5942:

The problem has never been the ascendant system its the grind to 500, most people out there dont even bother with crafting to begin with. Once you are there, crafting several sets of armor is not that hard or expensive. Getting the bazillion ectos and oris needed to get there on the other hand costs you your first born.

I laughed hard. Getting to 500 costs only a fraction of a single ascended set.
If not you are doing it wrong.

You forgot Bonettis Rapier. It went from 80g peak price (30 days) to 6g. This also affected the bloodlust sigil which went from 10g to 6g.

DiamondMeteor.8345:

It used to be obtained by a rare forge via sPvP tokens back when people were able to craft stuff.

Not rare. About 30% chance to get it with that recipe.

You can try sending a ticket for griefing and hope Anet sees it the same way.

lordkrall.7241:

And yet your friend required someone to carry him through it.
If it only required the amount of skill you would expect from a monkey he would easily have been able to do it on his own, right?

The friend is just too lazy to do anything. He is a trader and always pays people to do things for him because he cant be bothered to spend any more effort than absolutly required.

They dont require skill. I carried a friend through the instance achievements. All he had to do was hitting the stuff once for 0 dmg, which is enough for getting achievement credit.
Even if you solo them they require the amount of skill you would expect from a monkey.

shaktiboi.5194:

Been here since before launch. All classes but Engineer at level 80 and in full exotics or better. Sorry Anet, but if living story episodes are going to be as overtuned as this one was, I’m out. I know others will disagree, but here’s one person’s negative feedback.

I thought they were mindnumbing easy. Maybe its a learn to play issue. Did you use tomes of knowledge and crafting to lvl your chars?

The item is also a problem on dry top. For example it hits for 950k damage on the legendary giant. If a few people would pick up that item the giant would die instantly-

lordkrall.7241:

Kronos.3695:

The story is: we don’t care about veteran players.
End of story

Is that why all Living Story releases are made specifically for max-level and somewhat skilled players?

There are much higher skilled players than me, but I find this update was the bare minimum of difficulty for solo players and in groups it become laughable easy.

Dont have an unexpected precursor. I always expect one but never get one

Chaba.5410:

I thought the revivable yaks disappear after a certain amount of time.

Sounds like a great mechanic for WvW. Instead of just having to burst down the Dolyak in 1-3 seconds, you have to defend the corpse if you want to deny the supplies.

This thing needs an amplifier. I want people to hear this backpack even if they mute their sound.

You can mystic forge it.

You need to tag the boss for the achievement to count, even if you just hit for 0 damage. It seems to be some kind of afk check.

I think the whole new patch was too easy. Nothing challenging for solo players and laughable if you go in with a group because it doesnt scale.

I will never take pvp in GW2 seriously until stuff like turrets arent nerfed into the ground or even deleted from the game. Same with mesmer moa form.

It depends on the background light of the zone. In Arah it can turn purple even if you dyed it white and gold.

Because its a gemstore item and people need to get their moneys worth.

Getting the legendary champion achievement should unlock a glorious hero armor reward track.

No girlfriend in the universe is worth a legendary.

While I think we can agree that you shouldn’t make a ton of gold by spamming 1 all day, why should you make any more gold than that by playing the markets without ever even leaving town? At least someone spamming 1 is playing the game.

In response to that:

John Smith.4610:

This is a great thread.

A few minor thoughts:
The TP is part of the world of Tyria and spending your time interacting with it is just as legitimate a play session as dungeons or jumping puzzles or any of our other fantastic content.

Economists are already ruining real life, so why should I believe in what they say inside a game.

For crafting materials, this page is pretty helpful:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0As-wCpIszrT9dFB3YjVUVFhfenlDUUpXTVBIdm5qWmc&pli=1#gid=8

With that logic you can grief with anything in the game. Some people are annoyed by quaggan backpacks. Some from legendary effects. Some from miniatures. You can probably apply it to anything.

Allisa Wonderland.8192:

I love armchair economists.

Farm hard and sell your stock before the prices drop too far. Cash is king!

Bonetti’s Rapier down from 12g to 5g, for example. If you have lots of gold saved up, its appreciating in value right now.

I’m glad to see there is a farm to switch between with Orr, to avoid diminishing returns penalties.

The peak price of the rapier was 80g in the last 30 days. It dropped a lot more than from 12g to 5g.

Yeah, but here’s the thing… the owner would still hear it. And he’s the one who bought it. If the rest of us really want to hear it then we can buy one ourselves. Some people though don’t WANT to hear it.

And I WANT others to hear it. Its part of the fun of this item.

As previously stated…

" Not everyone that buys this thing is a griefer, but just by reading some of the above comments, this can be (and is) used as a griefing tool."

You cant grief with this. Its limited to one line per 30 seconds and selected by the game. Its not any more annoying than hearing “For greater justice!”. So I am highly amused by people complaining about it. Makes the 500 gems well spent.

weskay.9217:

Wonder if Anet is going to comment on this again or if they’re just going to neglect yet another topic.

A slider for this (or merged with player instrument volume) would be great. The novelty of the voice wore off on me.

No. Be happy if people support the game by buying these items.

Ykfox.3825:

Ykfox.3825:

Honestly I’d prefer if they just made it so only the OWNER of the backpack actually hears it talk. I don’t want to turn off instruments, there are some awesome songs you’ll occasionally hear in the cities.

But I don’t want to hear the backpack.

No, that would make the messages he say when you rezz someone less amusing.

Xaevryn.5687:

Just put it under the instrument slider. Everyone’s happy that way.

Its not an instrument. You cant play silly melodies with it. It only says one sentence every 30 seconds. Deal with it.

Would be nice to get an official statement on this issue. Wether its a bug or if its an intended feature.
I am loosing count on how much loot I loose out because the events are all overcrowded due to megaservers and tagging fast enough is sometimes hard, even if your group is full (especially if spawn spot is random like Karka Queen).

They should delete turrets from the game. Best fix.

I like this Job-O-Tron. I want my 500 gems refunded if it gets nerfed

I would buy a talking skritt backpack

Good idea. Every weapon should go into both hands if you want. Even dual wield shields.

I am pretty sure the comments are meant to be heared by others. Otherwise some comments such as the ones he makes when you rezz someone, would be pointless.
If it gets changed I want my 500 gems refunded.

If you finished all the achievements on that map, the chest farm is all there is left to do.

You need to tag the bosses (even if it does 0 damage) for the achievements to register. I see you are in there with at least one more person. If he did all the work for you, this is probably your issue.

Bandit collection was added in the recent living story patch – still many collections to go.

Not a fan of transmutation charges, so I would love if Anet would remove them. I had 1000+ skins right after April feature patch and many more now. Most of them I will never use because of transmutation charges.

Revealing armor should count as being naked (=0 stats).

Wanze.8410:

Just got my 2nd Gwynefyrdd out of a ToT Bag, pretty useless i thought as its account bound.
But i was able to forge it with 13 nougats/fangs/skulls and got a candy corn cob!

Made my day.

Imagine your profit if it was tradeable. Probably like 1000g if not more.
