Guild Wars 2

Changing stats is a niche use. I would bet most people choose their stats once (either PVT or zerker) and never touch it again. And its still cosmetic, it has no additional stats or slot compared to ascended.

Its a cosmetic, so its worth it if you like the skin, no matter the price. I definatly would build a juggernaut even if a stack silver doubloons would cost 1000g.

Hopefully independent on your servers rank

I agree this is terrible for miniature collectors. My collection basically lost hundreds of gold in value because of Anets stupid decision. I own every miniature except the “Miniature Dolyak” so I am damaged quite badly by Anets blindness towards this issue.

I wonder why I am still collecting miniatures. They are a hassle to use and Anet keeps sabotaging the value of my miniatures for absolutly no reason. And now there is even a 20% discount on miniatures from Set 2, thought considering the rock bottom miniature prices many will make use of it.

Yes I agree , ranging spider is an exploit you bypass 1 melee atack by ranging it. Ranging lupi is also an exploit ( 3 exploits) you bypass his kick, swing and life drain. Ranging the CoE golem is also an exploit you bypass his spinning atack . There’s many of them that he exploited if range all the boas

Another game I know solved this problem by giving every monster/boss a maximum attack range greater than player attack range for all their skills. This made kiting/stacking/whatevever obsolete

Bosses should be fixed to have no minimum range anymore.

Map explorations is definatly the worst part of building a legendary. Even if you have a good WvW server its just a pain and boredom to revisit everything over and over. I would buy those map exloration gifts for several 100g each if they were tradeable.

I am not saying the existing recipes will be changed and I am 99.99% sure the existing skills will stay available. The new ones will just be to add more varity and choice.

Your advice is worthless. Refining ascended mats stops giving exp at 475

I am pretty sure there will be precursors (new ones) and karma + skillpoints will probably be a involved in vision crystals and deldrimor steel. Map exploration and wvw badges are no longer a good requirement. Everyone got thousands of those badges even if you never spent more time in there than doing the exploration part. Bloodstone dust, dragonite ore and empyreal stars contained in the vision crystals would be a good substitute for map exploration but they might have both of it when I think of it.
So I doubt gift of fortune, gift of mastery or other existing gifts will be used. Maybe partly reused by adding mystic clovers to new gifts. So I wouldnt start stockpiling gifts of fortune or mastery just yet.

On the other hand I doubt anet would want people to craft the new legendaries on day one, so they will probably remake the recipes by at least 50% so most people will get caught by suprise unless you got at least a stack of everything.

Why would it be wierd? New items – new recipes. A lot of new items have been introduced since release which can be used such as quartz and ascended materials. I could totally see new weapons require 50 vision crystals or 250 deldrimor steel.

Because unless they are similar one of them would be easier to create, and thus would be considered unfair.

How can different recipes be unfair for different items be unfair? Entitled people nowadays.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Another influencing factor is what the new legendary weapons take. Will there be new precursors or will they use existing ones? Will they take a crap ton of ascended mats?

I could easily see new legendary weapons taking like 100 vision crystals instead of the gift of fortune. so the “cost” of the new legendary weapons would be meaningless.

There’s absolutely no reason for Anet to make a new crafting recipe for the new legendaries. The only difference, of course, would be the precursor and some gift components.

I am pretty sure there will be new recipes

I am trying to get 250 of them incase future legendary armors need them.

I am pretty sure that legendary armor, if it ever will be released, will require legendary crafting mats not ascended ones.

Possible, but it cant hurt to have a stack of it. Can still sell it if my prediction failed.

Yes, Tequatl always spawns at x + 2 minutes now. I preferred the random spawnwindows.

The achievements keep tracking progress even if they are completed, so it would be easy to calculate rewards by your progress towards critical WvW objectives such as towers flipped, dolyaks killed, camps captured,… Only challange would be to to develop a formula which make the rewards scale properly

DevonCarver.5370:

If there is a tie, each server will be awarded the rewards for that place. e.g. if NSP and IoJ tie for 8th each will receive 8th place rewards.

It would be better if you rewarded people by their own effort. You have almost zero control about how your server is doing in the league even if you play 24/7 in WvW.

Or you have to go through a lot of effort to buy a code for mr. sparkles. People wanted 300g to 1000g+ for one so I just took the 300g offer and called it done.

I am trying to get 250 of them incase future legendary armors need them.

Lets hope the next time they update legendaries eternity will be bugless finnaly. Its hard to believe that these simple things take so long to fix.

tydal backpack has no slot, too

Wrong forum, this is definatly not even close to a bug.

20% is a lot in absolute numbers. Just deal with the prices of silver doubloons. I did the same when I built my juggernaut and I would be angry if Anet devalues my legendary. The disequibrilirium was not directed at legendaries.

So does that mean that someone who crafted the Juggernaut during the early days of the game when Silver Doubloons cost silvers, that his Juggernaut is somehow of lesser value than yours?

When silver doubloons were cheap gold was worth more and less people in the position to afford legendaries.

The change in price took less than a month, you know.

Because people realized Anet will do nothing about it. There is no reason for them to make completly cosmetic and optional items any easier to get. I bet you 500g that they made these doubloons hard to get on purpose and did not include that recipe for the same reason.

Rewards are more than generous for the difficulty of this game. Even tequatl is easy.

Updated my list.

Renting them puts you at the risk of getting scammed. Plus most of them are currently worth so little that its not worth the time to rent them.

dungeons are 5man only anyway, so the 20% treshold would only affect people with support or pvt builds

I think they should nerf champ loot again to not drop champ loot from bosses if you didnt do at least 10-20% damage to it (open world only, dungeon stay as is)

I bought them when they bottomed out, but its one of the rare cases where there is potential profit with minis. Considering there are 160+ minis its a bad ratio.

I support this idea. Currently buying only exceptionally good armor pieces and only once per account. If they would become unlocks I would definatly be more easily convinced to buy something

That quote seems out of place here and I do not see him as a great judge. But I will not go into reasons why on these forums.

They are just very rare. I never seen one drop in a group of mine and I am doing plenty of dungeons.

Built Sunrise, Twilight and Eternity today.

Expansion would be good, but they dont have a reason to make an expansion as long as they can charge redicilous amount of money for almost nothing in the gem shop. Expansions are a lot more work. You would have to pay like 2000 USD for an expansion if they would value every content in it the same as they price their gem shop stuff.

KOPPER.1458:

I had forgotten that the original armor sets were 500 gems (what a steal they are in comparison).

So we go from 500 to 800 for a 6 piece set of armor, already a fairly steep rise. Then we go from a full set at 800 to gloves and shoulders for 800… what’s next?

To make matters worse you can’t reuse this skins without a transmutation stone, you only get 1 set, so you have to choose between sPVP and PVE. I really just wish the gem store was better than it has become.

This was expected for me. B2P had to come with some tradeoffs.
I wish GW2 would be subscription fee tbh.

Eternity still has the following bugs:
- dark foodsteps at daytime
- missing projectile animations for warrior skills and guardian whirling wrath skill
- dark aura at daytime
- transistion from sunrise to twilight and vice versa not always working (tested in lionarch), have to waypoint to change its appeareance
I think these issues need to be adressed considering the effort it takes to craft it.

20% is a lot in absolute numbers. Just deal with the prices of silver doubloons. I did the same when I built my juggernaut and I would be angry if Anet devalues my legendary. The disequibrilirium was not directed at legendaries.

Actually I am by no means a powertrader, but I would hate to see my juggernaut devalued. Considering its one of the best looking legendaries it is well deserved that it has this pricetag.

It wont happen because it would lower the value of Juggernaut by about 400 gold if it happens.

I dont see how to make money of minis. Most minis I own are worth less than I bought them for now. Add 15% tax to it…

Just mined my node and got 13 crystals. I dont see a nerf

Cacti Eleven.9135:

Edit: I also noticed that a lot of the ghosts in this tutorial mission aren’t glowing like they should be. I know it’s not a huge bug, but it’s a bug all the same.

That bugs appeared some content patches ago. Ghost and similar creatures seem to randomly loose their glow.

Its intended. Live with it.

DevonCarver.5370:

I can’t comment at this time as we haven’t finalized anything. In addition, you should look at it this way, if people flee lower league servers to get into the top leagues, it opens the opportunity for people to move to those lower leagues and finish 1st or 2nd, rather than being in the top league and finishing 6th or 7th. The rewards for finishing 2nd in the Bronze League will be markedly better than the rewards for finishing 6th in the Gold league.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Final-solution-for-league-and-transfers/first#post2746930

What people forget is: If you increase reward for brain afk easy activities you devalue everything else in the game. There is NOTHING challanging in this game except maybe fractals 50+. Even Tequatl is easy. My server keeps finishing him several times a day with upto 7 minutes to spare and it is not organized by guilds.

I suggest changing the endrewards of the season to rewards based on personal effort (except the finishing moves maybe) instead of server success.
Reasons:
- Server transfers manipulate results
- Servers dropping on purpose into an easier leage
- Broken queues making it harder for the good WvW players to play
- Even if you could play WvW 24/7 and/or are the best commander in the world you will only make a small bump into the PPT if the other peoples on your server have little discipline
It should be easy enough to determine personal effort, since achievements keep tracking progress even after the achievement is completed.
