Guild Wars 2

Sadly only junk. Only one exotic from all these keys which was worth 1.5g

Good to know. Will get my 20+ keys from bank then.

I agree, the miniature is a miniature of a miniature in size. If I wouldnt want to keep my collection complete I would say its a complete waste of gems.
Anet please make it bigger. At least as large as mini mr. sparkles.

Couldnt have said it any better naemyis. Exactly my thoughts. I am bored of everything nice being gem shop only

Conditions were never viable in PVE, especially in zerg events, wonder when people learn it.

Great more gem shop stuff and mediocre stuff for ingame achievements. Wish this game would be pay to play…

Offering achievement rewards in the gemshop would be a new low for this game.

The terrible thing is you still get glory boosters in masses. Opened 30 gold bear and 30 gold tiger chests yesterday and got like 25 boosters out of them. Now I am back to 300+ again. I got boosters permanently in pvp ever since I talked about removing glory, but they arent getting noticeable less.

The Keys wouldnt even be worth buying at 99% off. Too much junk in them.

Jade Quarry if you are NA

I dont think removing the 9 emptiest servers will result in noticeable longer queues. I am on a T2 server and the queues are short if there are any (exception reset, but they arent that long either.).

Its by far the worst map. Followed by spirit watch.

They should remove 9 servers for NA and 9 servers for EU.

You could see the account numbers on the TESO Beta Forums. Mine was close to 1 million, but I saw people with over 4million, too.

And the beta weekends are stress tests, they are limited purposely to stress the servers as much as possible and the developers are testing different settings in the background to find the best results for the launch.

Prysin.8542:

people seem to forget that ESO IS STILL IN BETA.
THEIR BETA DOESNT EVEN CONTAIN 10% OF DAILY GW2 PLAYERS.

But ofc, this could in no way be the reason why it is lag free. Obviously a low population across a large server park with a low workload can never affect lag or game performance, right, right?

Last time Anet released numbers we had about 450k active GW2 players. There are over 4 million TESO beta accounts. So I am not sure where you are getting your 10% from.

Rewards are terrible, not going there again until they are vastly improved. I got my achievements and see no reason to ever do wurm again if rewards stay this terrible.

Sirendor.1394:

Gah, so we’re looking ahead at 1 month a half or longer without any significant additions to the game, in the period that 3 new ‘top’ games are launching…?
Expect a massive population drop in case it takes you that long.

Even if they update it will happen. 5 people on my not so very large friendlist already told me that they preordered TESO.

Every week the same and nothing seems to be done. Maybe you are running too many virtual servers on one machine…

and with 5 weeks away for a major mmo release

what MMO is releasing in 5 weeks…?

The Elder Scrolls Online is releasing on 04.04.2014 (Headstart 5 days earlier)

What is TCBL and BG?

you know you can upload pictures directly to the forums instead of using some 3rd party site.

I couldnt care less about how I look to myself, but I am getting the most expensive items such as Eternity purely to brag with it. So letting others turn off prestige would be a huge turn off.

And most people don’t care if you have it.

I still want to rub it into peoples faces that I am richer than them, even if they dont care

They look better now. I dont see the issue.

got 240 on guardian already…unopened, i just put those near the 600+ unopened chests…along with the others spread through other chars..

PvP is so rewarding…

Meanwhile sh and sw still in soloq, decappers and wars still bringing panic into tpvp, ppl porting into walls and random lags all over the mists…

..but hey…we have bags with random pve stuff inside..

You do know you can get some very valuable items from those bags right? in the near future (a month from now or so) some of these items will be worth dozens of golds and maybe even more than a hundred.
Open a bunch of those bags using a magic booster and enjoy the gold

Magic Booster wont help. Magic find only applies to drops you get from dead enemies. Not from chests or bags.

I am on Riverside, but I guested to Desolation for the kill today.

It will be a ghost town. I can see the population drop week by week already, especially noticeable in off peak hours.

Dee Jay.2460:

I’ve given up on sPvP all together. It’s by far the least fun aspect of the game.

If it wasn’t for the achievement points I wouldn’t play it at all.

And I’m generally an avid PvP player in MMOs.

Same, without achievement points to be gained I would rarely visit sPvp.

The rewards for beating the 3 headed wurm are a joke. I just beaten it the first time today and witnessed with my own eyes how much worse the rewards are compared to a easy mode farm boss like Tequatl.
So please consider buffing the rewards a good bit.

Steel Fenrir.2791:

When it first came out, you don’t take any damage when go near it. They added it later I guess. I was hoping to see something there as well haha.

Must be a bug on your side. Going to the drill was one of the first thing I did right after the game patched and it definatly did damage. Enough to kill me quickly.

Can you make the bags tradeable? Account bound is annoying.

Well its indeed a wierd way to “reward” people. ANet is probably desperate for new gold sinks and I am getting tired of everything being tied to gold or gems.

-1 to this
why spend a lot of money on expensive stuff if you can turn it off

Save all the special mats required (blueprint and blade shards) to craft one and craft it at a later point in time.

I dont like this open world raid content. It just asks for large guilds to abuse an overflow as their private raid instance and have an easy kill, while the normal people have to deal with all the griefers, afkers and non TS people.

replace dailies by weeklies

If you took away the champ bags or whatever loot then people will no longer bother to do the event and you’ll be in an even worse situation. People need an incentive to continue doing an event after they have experienced it enough times and/or gotten the achievements.

Thats wrong, the events scale pretty hefty. A 5 man group can do the events easier than a zerg.

You’re missing what I was stating and twisting it towards some other argument. I wasn’t defending zerging but the removal of any incentive to actually do the event. This is one of the type of events where you do need a large number of players to succeed even if they are spread out.

I am pretty sure about 40 people would be enough to reach 1200 if they concentrate on that goal. Thats around 1/3 or less of the zone cap.

[sarcasm mode on]
I kept the cyphers because Anet said the lair is here to stay. So if I cant use the cyphers I have one more reason to write complaints on the forums.
[sarcasm mode off]

EotM might run on new, better servers than the old WvW maps.

Do you mean 32 nd in your signature?

maybe

Needs to be fixed asap.

I rarely ever interrupt something on purpose, too much graphic clutter and too many asuras.

I have never seen an MMO to date have the performance that ESO has in PvP

Given that the game has only been experienced in limited beta.. that’s not really saying much is it?

WvW ran pretty fantastic too during the BWE when there was only a few thousand ppl connecting to the servers.

Last beta weekend in TESO had over 500k participants afaik. Granted not all of them reached the lvl to participate in pvp, but still.

Id put it in for 1 copper less than the best sell offer. Its guranted to sell earlier or later.

maybe this sheds some light on why Smooth penguin doesnt want people to have this insanely small chance for a rare item, I can understand that he is angry about being cheated by anet about his investement, but the afk people are the wrong people to blame now

Would be great. It has been the last fractal achievement I need since forever. Already wasted countless hours trying again after every other patch.

I have a funny feeling that Jade weapons will be making a come back soon too. Either as discounted ticket or more Jade Ticket drops. Those items have been slowly increasing in value. With the game, they have every right to make adjustments as they see fit, so you can’t be mad at Colin for saying one thing, and back tracking.

The only smart investment currently is in T6 mats. New Legendary weapons and maybe even armor will cause these prices to skyrocket. I’m counting on Precursor armor forging to make some money back. That is… unless they open the flood gates, and increase T6 drop rates.

I would say backtracking / breaking promises is a bad business practices. Especially if it comes from the CEO.

Colin’s bosses are NCSoft. If they want the game to go a certain direction, that’s the way it goes. Just like with Cantha…

I doubt the bosses at Ncsoft even know which items were discontinued.
