They will always be top tier
Yes I would, yep
They are aware of it, do your best to report them.
Just roll a thief for WvW until the inevitable nerf bat lands on them
All we will ever get is units sold and total revenue, and we only will get this information in the quarterly financial releases.
Cheers
The level of entitlement in this thread is staggering.
Why must everything have a super awesome reward attached to it? What happened to playing games for fun?
Normally I agree with your implied sentiment, however, the last mission of your epic personal story quest line should be ‘super awesome reward’ in my humble opinion.
Game was half off on amazon and shot up to number 5 in video game sales, most likely that represents a good bunch of new accounts.
FT is fantastic for these events
Never said min, just averages about 40, of course there are dips when the Zerg is strong
I’ll check the average after I get back from holiday, however to answer the OP question, no this game requires a pretty hefty GPU and CPU to run smooth, in my experience, the 680m with a ivy bridge quad core CPU will get the job done, even in large scale wvw

I sometimes play on a MSI GT60 with a 680m and 3610, I easily get 60 fps in PvE and about 40 in WvWvW, all max settings
Do ‘stop’ orders exist? Both stop loss and gain?
My guild is growing, prob because I am not on a ‘full’ server and I’m betting we get a lot of the new players.
I like one time events, sure they can be done a little differently, but I see no reason they can’t continue with one time events and other lesser events done in the winters day style.
We are looking at this match up for a few more weeks based in the current T7 scores, unless something really strange happens next week. As a player on Ferg I’m going to just focus on realistic goals, we might no win the match, but we sure will kill more of you then you of us.
I run a very similar build, although I don’t want it, there will definatly be a nerf on ‘on crit food’ or if they want to just nerf engineers, FT 1 will only have a chance for one crit on one target per use.
You can try calling your bank and telling them you approve the purchase, however my bank will not approve purchases with a credit card via ncsoft, a debit card did work but of course offers less security with online purchases.
It is currently number 5 in best selling video games on amazon, pretty impressive
I got a bunch of chests in the mail, good job anet, you did the right thing and very quickly I might add. Thanks!
Shut down by Feb? Lol, looks like this game will be in the top ten downloads from amazon again by the end of the day, not bad this far post launch for a MMO. I’d expect a lot of new players in the open servers soon
The changes to fractals will address your group finding ability, no longer need to find people at your level. See recent dev posts.
I love WvW, run in Zerg sometimes, but love small 5-10 all guild groups, lots of communications, a couple people ‘baiting’ the other zergs into a ‘kill zone’ is so much fun. A few balistas and arrow carts in a tunnel can take down entire zergs. Capture a keep, upgrade, defend. I personally think you need a group/guild to get the most out of WvW with even a little communication and strategy, it is much more enjoyable.
There is obviously no cap on the amount of gems you can buy, they just need to change what ever service they use for online transactions. I can’t imagine a company would not address an issue that is actively preventing their customers from giving them money. I know they suggest going out any buying gems cards, calling your bank, etc. however to good business models should make the barrier to receive money from consumers wanting to spend it as small as possible. I imagine the managers would not approve of a response of ‘go out to a store and buy a gem card’ to the inability for some cards to be processed in the gems store, anything no matter how small, and having to go to a store is not small, that makes it harder to spend money is in fact costing the company lost revenue.
In summary, please change what ever service is handling your online sales and transactions.
Yeah I would not be holding my breath trying to get I to a full North American server during holiday time. Maybe try after the new year, you can still do dungeons together I believe.
I would not be surprised at all if more musical elements are brought to the game in the near future, really different play style than the rest of the game. Made me think of a class in a now shut down MMO.
I have the same issue, my bank will not allow me to purchase gems with a credit card from this company, I’ve talked to them, they just wont approve it. However, if you use a debit card, you will be ok. I guess they figure you can put your own money at risk buying from this company whereas they cover any credit card issues themselves. FYI I use the largest banking institute in USA.
It depends on what you like to do, I have been mainly doing WvW and don’t feel the grind. I do farm lodestones every now and again but it’s a personal choice, no one is making me do it. This game feel nothing like a F2P to me, what content is locked that you have to pay for? That’s the hallmark feature of a F2P
I personally think some people have DR stuck on their account, I see too many people, myself included, getting decent loot to believe it is game wide. I do think it is a huge problem that needs at least a ’we’re looking into it’ response in this thread.
Thanks for the suggestions, yeah just did some WvW,with the omnom ghost pie, I did alright. Thinking of getting a couple pieces of armor with precision and crit to help keep crit chance high. I just really like the flamethrower, with the steal health and regenerator, I’m doing ok.
Was that off the earth elemental a at the bottom right of map?
I only did fractals (three instances) and tixx, got one exotic, five rare, one lodestone. Needless to say, the loot in the dungeons is just fine. Now open world seems to be hit or miss.
Yeah my thread hasn’t got any love, but I too am looking for changing to the FT. What runes you guys use? Sigil?
how does a mix of Knights and Valkyrie armor sound? keeps the power, precisions and mixes vit/toughness
yes, great suggestion. cant say how nice it is being able to complete your daily in one zone.
nerfed, or so it seems. would be nice to know why from the developers
Ok i am looking to make a FT / high crit / steal life build for WvW. After trying out some new builds post nade nerf, i like the flamethrower. i know it wont work great solo, but i usually run with full 5 group of guild members and so far the FT/rifle is working well.
i hope this works:
if not…
So i want to focus on mainly using the FT, will use rifle, but i want this to be a FT build. so traits: i was thinking 10/30/0/30/0. exploit weakness, precise sights, fireforged trigger, juggernaut, protection injection, , backpack regen, deadly mixture. Also going to use elixir B and S (maybe C) to help increase crit and escapability respectively. Med kit also.
What sigil would you suggest for the rifle? a steal life or increased crit chance?
For armor, i’m torn between zerker or something with more tough/vit. what do you think? also what runes? Do the altruism runes make a big difference in the regen i would be getting and any steal health? vampire runes? or just go for increased crit chance and damage?
i’ll use omnom pies for food.
let me know what you think, i dont mind trying stuff out, if it sucks, fine, i can always change.
Yeah it needed to be addressed asap
Just got rares again in Orr, 5 or 6 in a few events, used flamethrower tagged ever mob at events. Had magic find gear plus food. Farms sparks for a hour, my buddy got a lodestone right away, I got nothing with full MC plus food and booster. Asking around, lots of people are getting rares, saw a few people post exotic drops as well. Mainly Orr Arah event chain. Just trying to help figure what is up with loot.
Also did they change the Arah events? We didn’t have to ‘hold’ the steps this time, just the eye and a wave or two of risen. Was very easy.
Edit: anyone else get a lot of dyes today? No good ones, but they were dropping a lot for me. Again in MF gear with food
(edited by Medazolam.3058)
got 4 dyes in one event in orr today, about 4 rares over three events also in orr, but got about nothing in frost gorge over the course of a couple hours.
i think the issue has something to do with DR, i started off in frostgorge, did jormag (poor, poor loot now, still good drops of some, but the overall reduction makes it not worth doing), farmed trolls, collosuses, and other, got squat even with tons of MF. Went to orr, did events got dyes, rares, and tons of greens.
the loot is strange now, if ive learned one thing it is that if you are in a place or zone and loot is poor, dont stick around, keep moving around.

You want to see bots? Go to malachors leap, bottom right of the map. The is an area with risen mobs and earth elementals but there are also 6 cypress trees there right next to each other. Over the course of a few minutes yesterday I reported at least 10 bots, could have been double if I was faster. The teleport from resource node to resource node.
Thank you for the update
def leave it alone man, if you transmutate it now, it will likely become an exotic, depends on the other item obviously. to ‘revert’ back would entail upgrading the item a tier to legendary. not likely to ever happen.
I am trying out different options now that ’nades are not what they used to be. Trying high precision/static discharge rifle and toolkit. killing isnt a problem, but now that ive had to retrait in firearms and toolkit, i am much more killable than i was.
i know people dump on the old grenade build as just hitting 1,1,1,1….. however now i feel like im typing up a storm every fight.
Welcome to my ignore list OP, you’re the first, is this the attention you want?
Sure, I play on Ferg crossing. Level 80 engineer, tag lots of mobs with AoE attacks. Usually in about two to three hour blocks, I do play daily. I wear al magic find armor and always got omnomberry bars going. Never really done dungeons, however the three fractals I did do I got a few rare. Farms northwest frost gorge for lodestones and also sparks when ever they spawn. Do jormag a lot, never get anything good from the chest. Usually get the ‘big’ drops after 10 min max. Charged lodestone have even dropped within the first few kills. Even any rares I get, they drop fast. So now I don’t stick around farming once I get a good drop, I change zones. Outside of sparks and frost gorge I do stick to DE.
I also do a good amount of WvW, I get rares occasionally and exotic very rarely, my guild members seem to get more exotic. I do use the MF booster every now and then if I get them from BLTC chests.
Hope this helps
In terms of jormag, Iooted a charzooka (20 gold) there of one of the mobs post patch, also getting a lot of vicious claws and other decent loots. Also much more rares in Orr. Is it possible that some people are affected while others are not?
Not a random or representative sample by any means
Honestly, anyone here use xfire?
Doesn’t matter.
What it shows is that of the people who DO user Xfire, it has dropped from 100,000 hours played to less than 9,000.
Decline with a capital D. If this was a sub game, it would be a failure of SW:TOR proportions.
of course it matters, the fact is these xfire users are a very tiny and very specialized group of people. they likely play several mmos or online games (thus use xfire) and divide time between them, no surprise the hours played my this very specific, small subset of people drops post launch.
MMOs user are no longer using xfire. 4000 people for gw2 (18k hours), only 5500 for WoW (27k hours), 800 for Eve (3.6k hours), etc
The bigger issue this thread brought up is, how does xfire stay in business?
Honestly, anyone here use xfire?
I def noticed increased loot since patch, more rares, more green and even a 20g exotic off random vet mob. However way too short of a time to know for sure
My only character is an engineer since launch, now most likely need an alt for WvW, it’s not that we can’t do anything other than grenades but is that the other option are just less effective versions of other classes. Right now I am rolling high crit chance rifle as a last ditch option.
For laughs, go check out the current bug thread in the engineer forums.
Just did jormag, got a lodestone within the first few kills. No rare weapons but several green. So in the last three hours of play (over different days) I’ve got three rare weapons, two charged lodestones, 1 corrupted lodestone and a lot of greens. Is it possible the small patch a night or two ago addressed the drops?
