Guild Wars 2

I am sure no sane person expected (and if otherwise I would accuse him of insider trading) the silk part suddenly to require 300 instead of 100 scraps per day, so its anet fault to suddenly artifically raise the silk scrap demand.
First 3 scraps instead of 2 per bolt then 100 instead of 50 bolts per damask.

Farming 100 scraps per day was very manageable to me, 300 is a whole different story.

When will the exploit which lets you skip the running through the finnish line be fixed? I am sick and tired of loosing my hard earned position last second to an exploiter. What can I do about them? Fraps every run and send it to the customer support?

Well currently I have more gossamer than silk so I would love to convert some of my now almost worthless gossamer to silk so I can use it for damask bolts.

And while we are on it, i currently have more ugly wool sweaters than toxic spore samples, where can I exchange them so i dont have to spend 10g on a toxic recipe?

way to miss the point. silk can be turned into gossamer, but can toxic spore samples be turned into ugly wool sweaters? no

for 1milion fans on facebook you can respond? really nice Anet…

Anet responds to all kind of junk and fun threads, but they avoid threads with serious stuff like the plague.

ranks wont be removed, they already said so, due to player feedback

Win TeamQ pvp games with glory booster and trade in the glory for gifts. Can easily make 2 stacks per day that way without grinding

Keiel.7489:

I heard Anet is reseting everyone’s World Rank to 100 when they go live with world rank being account bound. This way everyone starts fresh and “fair”. To ease the pain of losing your world rank, they will add in a leaderboard…

Sounds good

Its a free point cap if you use the moa escape skills and you are the only one defending the point.

It would not ruin WvW if they would close 3 servers at the time until only 3 are left.

For people leveling rank or wanting glory there is no reason to do anything else than TeamQ, even with a low win percentage its more rewarding than hotjoin atm.

It seems like a waste to me to donate to the NPCs once you got the achievements done. The rewards for escorting the carawan are abysmal.

Tequatl is getting down several times per day on my server. Upto 6 times a day to be specific.
Making him easier would make him even more boring for our server. We rarely finish with less than 6-8 minutes to spare. We do him with randoms btw, so its not rocket science to do him.

Anet fixed it internally, we just have to wait for the patch

I think it only came from Halloween 2012 RNG crates

Get moaed? Press 5. #wow #woah you just countered someone’s 180 second cooldown.

I don’t even play mesmer at all. That kitten is just weak.

Right.
Just press 5 and leave the fight for 10s, so you either let your teammates fight outnumbered and eventually wipe or let the point you are defending free-capped so the mesmer can cap it.

Sure, you definitely countered Moa.

Oh, right. Mesmer is also weak now.

Skill 5 helps for 0.75 seconds, but the whole moa form lasts for 10s. All your mentioned solutions are terrible.

John Smith.4610:

I saw a request somewhere () for this statistic, but I don’t have an official account for somewhere.

So, if anyone is interested here’s the current donation split:
Ho-Ho Tron: 52.18%
Marcello: 47.82%

I’m actually surprised it was this close! My money was on Ho-Ho Tron all the way.

John.

Can you also list absolute numbers donated? Percentages are kinda useless

probably related to this

All the achievement hunters are grinding the new sPvP dailies, so obviously the pvp population raised. For the wrong reasons thought.

in Keg Brawl you can help your team win that way, but in this game you gain nothing from it other than making someone angry?

you need to craft to 500 for 10 levels now. 0-400 was nerfed to 7 levels

ascended should have the same difference to exotic like rare to exotic. its abysmal right now

They just steal it back or pick up other annoying stuff like the immobilses or fear.

So if someone with 6 points keeps spamming rod or other cc stuff on me while I have 100 points or something and says “i am doing this to annoy achievement farmers” its fine? I think its harassment

Can you do something about crab toss griefers? People with the lowest score just keep using cc skills like the rod on the most skilled person so he cant get his deserved win. At the end it helps them nothing because they still have one of the lowest points and nowhere near the champions score (usually ranked last 3 places).
This is one of the reason I play this minigame after reset or switch instances all the time because i cant be bothered with this griefing minigame.
The griefers who just keep chain CCing the most skilled players for their own amusement might be intended part of the game or not, but it turns any player who wants the most skilled person win off.
Why should I bother playing a minigame where noobs win because griefers mass CC the person who is clearly superior?

Its not preventing anyone to join. If a minigame instance is full it just opens an other. Ideally noone should be able to join rounds which already started anyway.

So is this bugged or are we missing something?

Qaelyn.7612:

Well it appears that the new achievements are here to stay, at least for now. So you have a choice: change how you play or keep doing something you hate and be miserable doing it.

yea if tommorow nothing change, Im out after worst 2 weeks in GW2.

Sorry to hear, I was hoping you beat Stivie.4538 again

Suggestions for miniatures:
1. Add a new tab to the hero menu. There you could dedicate your miniatures to your account (permanently removing it from the inventory in process). In the menu you can select a dedicated miniature for automatical use whenever possible.
2. Rename title “Miniature Collector” to “Miniature Collector of set Alpha” and add the title ""Miniature Collector of the set Beta" to the achievement track for the 2nd set (it currently has none).
3. Add a new infinite title track which rewards lets say 5 AP per dedicated miniature (each miniature can only be dedicated once per account). It should have no cap since there is only a finite amount of unique miniatures —> people will keep having an incentive to get or buy all new miniatures even if its just for the AP.
3.1. Add unique titles to this infinite achievement track.
e.g.:
Beginner Miniature Collector – Dedicate 10 Miniatures
Experienced Miniature Collector – Dedicate 50 Miniatures
Respected Miniature Collector – Dedicate 100 Miniatures
Acclaimed Miniature Collector – Dedicate 200 Miniatures
Heralded Miniature Collector – Dedicate 350 Miniatures
God of Miniatures – Dedicate 500 Miniatures
4. Add minigames where you can make use of dedicated miniatures such as miniature arena or polymock.
4.1. Miniature Arena should have a daily rotation of game modes: Death Match, Team Death Match, King of the Hill, Domination, Everyone against Everyone.
During the match you will be turned into your choosen miniature. Each miniature should have 5 skills and the strength of the miniature should mainly depend on its quality level (white to exotic). Rewards for playing: achievements, tokens for miniatures exclusive to the minigame.
4.2. Polymock similar to GW1
5. Make all miniatures tradeable. It seems pointless to me to make collectors items account bound.
6. Turn Mini Rytlock to Rare quality, like the other destiny edge miniatures.
7. Add ascended miniatures (eg. dragon champions like tequatl —> promote Tequatl from exotic to ascended), add legendary miniatures (special creatures like Zhaitan)
8. make the minis actually keep up with you and stay near your side a lot better
9. Make humanoid miniatures react to your emotes like heroes/henchman did in GW1
10. Put miniatures who cant swim into a bubble underwater.

A patched happened and this bugfix was not included Why?

Baldric.6781:

If u want to avoid the randomness of solo queue, get a team. And yeah, i know, i cant get a team too, too much time investment that with a job and some social stuff is hard to do.

What i mean, is something i’m starting to understand, that this game for competitive stuff it’s only worth with a team, outside of that, you will probably get mad sooner than later and get angry instead of having an enjoyable experience.

If you can take the randomness and play small dosis it’s kind of bearable, but i can’t imagine myself playing a lot of games in a row or taking the solo leaderboards seriously, especially if the first games you play are 100 – 500 or something like that. If u lose 2 or 3 games in a row it’s better to stop, if u queue again, most likely it will put you in the same kind of match, probably because the playerbase in that moment is low and it has to deal with what it has queueing.

Thing is I do soloQ and teamQ since I want all 4 achievement points

I am starting to get paired up with tons of r10s in soloQ because my mmr is dropping from all the noob teams and 4v5s
The experience is getting increasingly frustrating with soloQ

Malediktus.9250:

I dont get why noone of the anet employes cant spare a minute for a single sentence or two I dont think its too much to ask for.

Cause they know they screwed up on so many levels and don’t want to appear that they did probably or want to take heat for it.

When you have rage over an existing update they didn’t do something right and the rage isn’t just in this thread but many others.

For my past 12-14 soloQ matches that i’ve lost in a row (had a few close games) I couldn’t believe how many hotjoin method players were in there and what is worse with each loss I only drop ratings instead of advance. Before the ladderboard update I was in the top 40 ranks and enjoyed playing competitivly with players that knew what they were doing. Now I get to play with people who are leaving caps after spending ages to get them to watch them be decapped quickly, AFKers at the start of tournaments, people that fight for far point the entire game and get no where when they could help capture and hold mid instead. Now we have achievements tied to these that are RNG based and it depends on your team mates.

This game is turning into a pile of kitten, and so is spvp/achievements. I’m very frusterated with the update not just only for achievements, but the RNG and lack of quality players + the bad ladderboard system that only punishes you for having terrible team mates.

I hear you. And at least 50% of the games are 4v5 or worse. Either on my team or opponent team. But TeamQ is not much better anymore, too. Tons of 4v5, too.
Almost noone trying to defend points and everyone is zerging from one thing to the next
If I would have to estimate, at least 60% from the losses I suffer are because noone bothers with the buffs on the Temple of the Silent Storm or simply leaves every hard earned point open for free cap. Very few times I feel we would have won if I would have tried harder. Yesterday I played engineer for my first time in pvp (I started with soloQ on him right away for the fun) and immediatlly did better than most of the rest of my team, although I only played the engineer until lvl 21 in pve, too.

I dont get why noone of the anet employes cant spare a minute for a single sentence or two I dont think its too much to ask for.

Its bad enough, I preorded the deluxe for 75€ on first day and what is left of it? not much for the premium I paid

Its also a problem in sanctum sprint after you finished and waiting for the rest. I see no reasons for the restrictive timers, most minigames dont reward anything if your personal score is 0, not even achievement progress to games played.

Can you please increase the afk timers in minigames? They are overrestrictive. I cant even go to the next room to get something to drink now without getting logged out. Its terribly annoying, especially if you finnaly managed to get into games with friends.

Most of your suggestions would be nightmare or useless for T1/T2/T3 servers

ideally it would be the opposite recipe of silk —> gossamer, so you would get 250 silk bolts for about 30 gossamer bolts, making it profitable

Zirith.6429:

Why are all of you kids complaining about optional content, this was meant to help pvpers get more achieve points because some people are rank 60+ and have sub 6k achieve points, you could do every single pve achieve in the game twice in the time it took to grind to 61.

“Oh no, I’m losing my position on a ladder based entirely off of how many dailies I do, I might as well give up and start having a life where I dont need to dedicate hours to a game every single day.”

If you play purely PVE you will not have much more than 6k achieve points either. Chances are if you restrict yourself to one part of the game you do not care about AP anyway.

He can buy 10 thousands of wintersday gifts

there is no “mad rush” for ascended armor, I dont know anyone in my friendlist who is rushing it, personally I am even skipping it if i dont get it as a drop

Guesting doesnt work I believe, but you could ask a friend to join your guild and pick up the items for you.

its not the best one, lots of unupgraded siege

^I am a hardcore player with 4500+ hours /age. But I am skipping ascended weapons and armors because they arent worth the effort in my eyes. Stat increase is tiny and looks arent my taste. If I get one as a drop, otherwise no thanks. I rather save my mats for upcoming legendary items.

Things I would like to see:
- Miniatures becoming more desireable (see my signature of a suggestion thread of mine)
- Legendary armor sets
- more cultural armor sets (T4+)
- being able to mix and match legendary weapon effects. I would like to use my juggernauts metallic effect while wielding Eternity

lordkrall.7241:

WPX have been available since March 26, that is 270 days from now.
In order to reach rank 3,945 you would need 19705000, that is about 72981 WXP per day.

That would of course be quite possibly with playing high amount of hours per day and always using boosts (WPX boost + Birthday boost), and most likely also trading Laurels for WXP ranks and getting lucky with dropped Liquid WXP ^^

Still, very impressive/sad ^^

its 3145 not 3945
3945 is Platinum Legend

Well ascended armor should have boosted the value, but it looks like only the speculation in advance boosted it and now it goes back to its original price. It took me a little more than 2 stacks to max all 3 armor professions, not a lot :/

Of course there need to be more ingredients, but something has to be done, because gossamer is getting cheaper than silk and linen which does not make sense from a quality standpoint.

Its a waste of time discussing with you. I go back doing tPvP. 3 of 8 wins done for today
