As stated earlier in this thread, you don’t even need this sample to obtain the title in question. So sounds like the OP want a different title for completing all 11, is that right?
No change for me, try bug report
This patch certainly made it clear that MF does indeed work.
they were pretty clear that the points are set forever once you put them in a trait.
We actually had wait times to get in to WvW on EB last night on Ferg Crossing, so there’s that. try checking in during prime hours. if you want want a server packed 24/7, FC is not the one for you.
Whooooa, what happened ET and FC?
*goes back to page 1 to catch up.
GoM started to play during the night…
yep, the lack of night coverage in my opinion is really what makes a T8 team stay in T8. Not complaining, just the way it is.
Perhaps it’s more a rune problem and not HGH as a trait…
they can always make runes of the same effect not stack, of course i dont think anyone would like this (which might mean its the right move?)
certainly seems like the request for dueling will be addressed with the introduction of custom arenas in sPVP only.
HgH will not be nerfed for the very same reason the developer recently gave for not nerfing thief burst chain (the post was in respone to why they DID nerf engineers 100 nades burst). Quite simply, the HgH build has a ton of ‘play’ involved (developers term from previously mentioned thread). It means, it is not just a move that is overpowered or a traits that is OP, ‘play’ means you actually have to execute a series of moves of which many if not all can be countered. 100 nades, had very little play compared to the HgH build, thus it got nerfed. I challenge anyone to argue this point, and when all is said and done, this is the very reason why it will not be nerfed.
Of course this assumes that the developers are consistant with their reasoning.

Looks like a pay to win item. On the other hand it costs 22.3 gold worth of gems. You could buy 557 orichalcum picks for that.
And if a new ore better than ori comes out it will be obsolete.It would be pay to win if it was better/stronger/could do other things than items available in-game.
That is not the case.
Def not pay to win in any respect. it is not cost efficient and not mroe powerful than normal items.
you would buy this for the, in my opinion, awesome visual effect when mining with it.
Marnick… Except that they did, right here on this board… I’m currently at work on my phone so I can’t look through the board to find it, but I’ll definitely find the post for you when I get back home in which a mod says that they changed the maw timer to be in line with other world bosses…
i think he meant since they did not ‘admit’ to changing the CoF timer, it is very clear the maw was changed. if they changed CoF they would have indicated it, just like they did for the maw. to sugest otherwise, implies a ‘tin foil’ theory. just do the events to open it and it is not a problem. maybe less people are farming CoF this week cause they are in the SAB? just maybe.
however, it is only a matter of time before they do a real nerf to CoF path 1 farming. when they do, they will announce it.
Wow, guesses and conjecture, but no real proof.
I would be willing to bet much less than 2 million people still play GW2.
Interesting, he faults you for conjecture in an attempt invalidate your argument and then engages in pure conjecture himself in the very next sentence. It is pretty hard to converse intelligently with some who uses that logic. Anyways….
To answer the OP, we can’t really know how much money GW2 is making for NCsoft, or the exact number of players, but we can look at the earnings report and extrapolate. In brief, GW2 is a significant source of revenue for the company, so in the light, it has been a success and is ‘doing well’.
I’m on one of the lowest population servers and there are people everywhere in the starting zones.
Search the forums before bumping your own thread
Oh and…
Guesting, try it out
Huge WvW update incoming… you can bet the monthly will have some WvW content required :P
^this, i’d say it is almost 100% there will be WvW this month
Missed an event due to overflow on Ferg crossing, so this is not just an issue on very high pop servers
Let´s me see….
I have a small guild (25 members). Ok, no problem, i can handle the new content with this ppl.
We haven´t enough influence to reach AoW5 and unlock Bounty Hunt missions. Ok, no problem, with some effort we can buy it with gold.
We are a PvE focused guild, so we used our influence in Economics, Politcs and Arch (AoW is useless to us, why spend influence on it?). With your great desing of Guild Missions we need to wait two weeks to start play the new content!!! This is just ridiculous.
Really i dont understand which is the goal with this type of obstacles. The solution is simple. Move the unlock option to any categorie at lvl 1 (and reduce the cost). Not the next patch, not the next week, TODAY!!
yeah, not gonna happen, cant go back now. guilds have already spent influence to unlock and upgrade to be able to unlock.
Guilds already unlock the missions can keep. It is not necessary unlock again.
what about the guilds who bought gold to buy influence to unlock? do they get the gold back? who specifcially get the gold back? or do they get the influence back? see there is no changing it now.
I spend 350g on 100 cheraged lodestones for my Sunrise. Now ANET introduce Orr Jeweler bags and cherged lodestones cost 2g each. I Lost 150g, give me money back.
RNG mechanic is not the same as the case i stated, keep trying though
what about Rhendak the Crazed? did he get a bump on his chest loot?
(flame temple tombs)
The worm got a bump for sure.

I’ve noticed the exact opposite. People all let each other know when the events are going on, give 5 minute warnings, tell their guilds.
We have big dance parties waiting for the events, the compare weapons, share notes on where we got them, talk about builds. The world is bursting with people and everyone is very social.
In fact we had so many people show up for SB last night that queensdale went into overflow and not everyone could get in.
SAme, people announce all over the world theat evetn are happening soon

They have a higher chance, it’s not guaranteed but now it’s decent.
Yesterday Destructor gave me 3 yellows, and Tequalt 1.
Enjoy before whiners mass want nerfs.
I hear ya, this is a careful what you wish for senario. now that rares are dopping from these event very often, ecto prices are dropping fast. also the events in cursed shore are ‘different’ so i just done see them being the money farm they were before. in short, the people who complained about not being able to make money in this game, will likely have the same ciomplaints. oh and watch T6 mat prices.
however, i really like this update, like it or hate it, people are doing events more, clearnig temples more, doing dragons more
The 6 locations they are in had lots of people. Which is great. But what about the locations not there? The world is big, but you’re concentrating a big portion of it onto 6 specific spots. That isn’t good for the “open world.”
Where are the 6 locations/events that are now rewarding?
3 Dragons
Frozen Maw
Fire Elemental
Shadow BehemothMegadestroyer still gives terrible loot.
oh i can think of several more areas that spawn large and rewarding chests.
there will obviously be WvW exclusive (at least for at ime) ascended gear, i would have thought it to be earings, but now it looks like armor/weapons.
the number of viable builds for engineer certainly is decreasing
I think the masses have spoken, the small guilds are in agreement that the current system alienates them from the guild mission content.
:)The masses have not spoken! The masses are playing the game happily… only the whiners have spoken..
Well, if there are 17+ pages of “whiners” about the same exact thing . . . maybe there IS a problem.
If all it takes to declare a problem is a 17+ page thread, we could be in real trouble. “I don’t like X” “go make a post on the forum, we’ll all chime in and once it hits page 18 they’ll have to change it”.
I agree, this thread has what 800 posts? maybe 600 unique posters (prob much less). sorry, but this is a tiny fraction of the player base and even of the forum users.
If I were in the market for a new widget and researched it online. After reading the feedback from existing customers, 17+ pages and 600+ negative comments would not entice me to purchase that product.
after reading one thread, on a forum with thousands of threads, well i guess you are the discerning customer.
Then why have forums at all?
If community feedback means nothing because the contributors account for a minority, why even bother?
of course they listen to feedback and make changes (see the WvW consumable thread, direct feedback and implemention of player suggestions).

How often can you trigger guild bounties once it is researched?
Clearly this thread is full of lies. Have you all not read that the game is dead on all those threads? So its impossible that the servers are stressed from tons of people downloading :P
On a separate note: Error connection, retrying.. STOP TRYING AND WORK :P o.o 2% (stops talking)
i like you, you use logic and reason
mine is connecting / disconnecting often , at 8% done now
How can something be overpowered if anyone and everyone can use it?
Piethrower build might be dead, new internal cd on food
In GW2 you can not do a dungeon by yourself, can not run fractals by yourself, likely cant solo a dragon, cant even complete your personal story by youself. This is another example of that type of content, nothing new. maybe they will release other smaller group content in the future, this isnt that update.
50,000 influence? Are they NUTS?
That means my 38-active members guild (not too small you could say) will take 4 weeks just to unlock the first 1!
you can buy influence 20 G for 10k, so 100 G for 50k, for your guild about 2.5 G each. instantly.
That is not a reasonable requirement for people who play the game for .. you know.. fun? Something many of you already are mistaking by telling people to farm gold to open content that was supposed to be for all guilds to do.. for fun. For the rest of us who wanted Guild Wars 2 to be different than the past MMO’s over the past 15-20 years it’s disheartening that not even 6 months out of the gate and they resorted to literally taking the Guild Wars title into literal meaning.
If it is so important to do it right away, have to unlock right now, cant wait to grind 50K influence, 2.5 G from each member is too much?

i find you can make 5 G a day pretty easy, you just cant have your cake and eat it too.
translation: sell ectos )from rares), sell T6 mats, sell everything you loot.
This amount of needed influence is killing many many smaller guilds but do not bother big guilds in any way. An extremly bad choice of design just make more player frustrated, as they have not a whiff of a chance in a smaller guild.
A full new meaning of “Guild Wars”!Guild Missions are for 15 players+. I think that 15 players are able to acquire this amount of influence pretty easily in a week.
The first Bounty mission requires only two champion-level bosses to be killed in 15 minutes. Unless those champions have a very large amount of health, a guild of 4-6 could easily do it.
if you can find them quickly that is.
I’ve been hoping for some new ascended gear, or at least the ability to infuse amulets, or salvage ascended rings, but…
I haven’t heard a whisper of it from the devs, so it’s just random speculation/hope.
Was also thinking they might add some new stuff to the gem store. It’s been a monthly occurrence with the big updates lately, but who knows, maybe they’ll skip it this month.
it seems like ascended earning are coming this update, from guild missions. look at the previews you can see new ascened items
So now you can only get ascended accessories by doing these guild missions? Please tell me A-Net didnt do such a silly thing.
What happened to multiple ways to get ascended?
First place introduced != only.
agreed, think of how rings were put in game, first does not mean only.
i used to farm them at the temple of melandru, when uncontested, from the earth elementals. however less of them spawn now that the area has been changed a bit recently. now, if i get the desire to farm lodestones (rarely), i just kill sparks to sell the charged lodestone to buy onyx.
after reading the previews on several sight, my hope are high now
you know you can buy influence right? even if your guild has 10 people, the cost is not that much
this sounds great, i like that presusors are in the loot table
Correct me if i am wrong, but i thought it was impossible to crit on the dummies? wont this really make using the dummies rather useless for high crit build, the very essence of most FT build i woudl assume?
How many of these threads will be starts today?
The lack of range on the mortar is pretty rediculous IMO. Coupled with the poor damage makes it a poor elite skill.
Still love playing am engineer though
For anyone actually playing the game, it is very easy to see population has increased since the holidays, it is not at launch levels but the trend is in the positive direction.
Also for those who haven’t played in two months and still are posting here, log in, check it out.
Is the condition cap something that is common in other games?
People enjoy doing different things, live and let live.
Thanks for this thread, very helpful
