I wonder if they will ever introduce lvl 80 sigils/runes?
Its ‘weird’ that everything is lvl 80, except sigils/runes which are lvl 60.
It would have made, ‘more sense’ to bring out level 80 runes/sigils before ascended gear. All other games I play the level of character/equipment always ends up the same but not GW2?
such things are ment to be earned not bought .
Well, everyone would still be earning such things but only doing parts of GW2 that they enjoy the most. If someone just can’t stand to do a particular part of GW2 and it is a BIG game they are left out in the cold atm.
Another great suggestion by me…lol
1 champion per account per day…lol
That will fit in with all the other 1 per day per account nonsense…
Why would any player want loot nerfed?
You can level up in WvW and it is actually the fastest way to do so…if your server has a zerg going that you can join the majority of the time…
If no zerg then you will after level up in PvE. Even a group of 5 would not be particularly effective as you could only really take camps, caravans, guards and the odd tower. Its stonemist and keeps that really give that xp boost.
The secret to levelling effectively is keeping your equipment up to date and I mean ALL equipment, plus apple/spanner buff. I recommend going power/vitality till level 60. Then at 60 go berserker, power, precision, crit. damage till 80.
With a fairly constant zerg you can easy go from 0-80 in a week. Buy your equipment from the TP, you can do it easy enough in blue gear.
The over-riding question is why has so much changed?
I think there are several reasons:-
1) Constant change reinvigourates GW2, it help keep it fresh and players playing.
2) It is used as a ‘vehicle’ to sell new items to players and Anet hope a decent amount of those items will be purchased with gems bought with $$$.
3) Every new ‘content’ update is great advertising/promotion.
4) Meta/‘balance’ changes are done NOT to promote balance at all, but as a cheap way of mixing the game up, in particular it keeps the sPvP players happy.
Anet aims to get players ‘addicted’ to GW2 and then trys to keep them addicted…
Your forum is BROKE…
1800 gems for a server transfer? Why!?
Squeeze you for all the $$$ they can, that’s why!
NERF THE LOOT
NERF THE LOOT
NERF THE LOOT
Yeah bring it on…
TRIPLE THE GRIND…
1/4 the fun…
Anet have seen this post and LOVE IT. Team working on it ASAP…
How about when ascended armors are out? Prolly 800 gold?!!??!?!??!?!
WTF!
WRONG!
There are 6 armour pieces so more like 1200g!
WTF indeed…
Extend the TP to include a Exchange.
In this Exchange any in game currency (except gold/gems) can be traded for any other currency. The exchange rate being determined by demand and supply.
So karma, badges of honour, glory, different dungeon tokens, fractal tokens etc…can all be traded between players.
This would fit with your commitment to allow players to play GW2 how they want too, rather then be ‘forced’ to do certain activities for the tokens/currency.
Loads of players still playing…
New content every 2 weeks…
Looks alive and well to me…
Jon Sharp posted recently that they would NOT be splitting balance updates between sPvP, PvE and WvW because it takes too much time, effort and is too costly to do.
That was about oncoming ranger nerfs. Of course, Necro did get a split.
No…he was not only talking about Rangers (it is very weird Ranger skills NEVER get split), he was talking more about the future and they can’t/won’t split skills because it takes too much time, effort and is costly to do.
Btw https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp
Read that part of the forum and you see about 80% of all the threads are NERF this skill/trait/class. PvP players are trying to destroy every class by NERFING them to the ground, that apparently is the balance they are looking for. The worse thing is Anet listens to them above all other players…

If you want a gold, silver or bronze dolyak, plus maxium rewards move servers before Oct 4th…
Or miss out losers…
Wonder when the 1st player to hit 300% will be?
Jon Sharp posted recently that they would NOT be splitting balance updates between sPvP, PvE and WvW because it takes too much time, effort and is too costly to do.
So future balance changes are going to be applied across all GW2.
A few problems.
You can already predict which servers will win the gold, silver and bronze dolyaks. For example Viznuh in Europe will come 1st and all Viz will get the golden dolyak.
Because of this loads of players are going to transfer to Viz and there equivalent in North America to make sure they get maxium rewards.
No updates of any kind for 7 weeks or so is going to be very unpopular. It will encourage anyone not interested in this league to go do something else for 7 weeks, knowing they will miss nothing new.

I agree totally with the OP and have been saying this on the forums for ages…
Players who just sPvP can change there build/equipment/traits in 10 mins at no cost whatsoever. So balance changes are great for them, it mixes the game up, makes it fun and is no bother whatsoever.
However, the PvE & WvW players get there equipment/traits/builds turned upside down and can cost them major amounts of gold/time to adjust.
ITS TOTALLY UNFAIR!
But all ‘balance’ changes are going to be applied game wide as it will cost too much apparently to balance all 3 types separately.
Before taking a break, I ended up leveling 8 characters to level 80, and getting them all decked out in exotic gear. I heard they added a new tier of gear now, does that new tier mean my old exotic gear is now worthless in WvW, and I’ll have to regrind all new gear?
No. Player skill still matters 90% more than gear does. If you were 1v1 with a player with the exact same skill as you and they had ascended weapon and you exotic, it would be a tight fight but you would lose obviously.
But how often would that happen in WvW? Not a lot…
As far returning to GW2, it depends wether you like living story or not? The next Living story is a BIG WvW update, LFG tool and the Tequal dragon event as been remade to be a 80 player minium raid.
I like this message and want it kept in.
In fact have a bigger sound effect, with a big flashing red light to make sure I don’t miss a invasion.
I love WvW but I CAN ALWAYS spare 45m for a invasion…
Yes, its happening on a lot of servers, 3 server trains following each another around with orders not to attack each another so we all can flip sm, keeps as efficiently as possible…
No upgrading of anything allowed or guild claiming…
No one cares less about the matchups/fighting each another…just want ascended weapons as easy as possible…
Don’t think you were the 1st to craft a ascended, if you look in the crafting section of this forum, several ascended items have been crafted…
Hate to burst your bubble…just saying…
I would like to see them do both…
Currently, they have 4 teams, each team gets 8 weeks before there living story chapter is released.
How about 2 teams work living story, with a release once per month.
The other 2 teams work on a expansion for release in 12-18 months.
Anet will get extra income from sales of expansion, plus new players will buy GW2 + expansion.
Invasions are still excellent for making money.
After, that champion farming.
World Boss events.
Anything else takes groups/guilds, time to co-ordinate. The ingame LFG tool may help with those on the 17th.
So Anet have not made the rewards good enough?
Or the actual mechanics of the event need to adjusted to get players to do it?
Another thread said 4 million plus…
In total, she now drops two rares, 30 Dragonite Ores, four champion bags, and some other items.
It’s definitely worth the 30 minutes or so it takes to down her with a good group.
So anyone doing this now? Hopefully, with the new LFG tool on the 17th a lot of players can farm this daily…long with Tequatl…
This thread will probably be locked but…
Path of Exile
Torchlight 2
Diablo 3
Are some of the other games I have played well playing GW2.
So NO ONE has had a Ascended weapon drop?
Apparently, once you have the recipes you can link the ascended weapons in chat, so I reckon the guy in Divinitys Reach was lieing then and he didn’t really have one drop?
(edited by Meglobob.8620)
Post here, with pic if possible, if you have been really lucky and had a Ascended weapon drop for you…
Seen one person linking one in Divinitys Reach so far…
Invasions………………………..
Be INCREDIBLY lucky…
Just done one, so definitely still happening…
Is there a timer anywhere?
It puts a announcement up in chat, with a sound effect, that’s how I knew one was starting, still ended up in overflow…lol
Left WvW to do it so I like them and will continue to do the invasions whenever possible in the future…but a timer would help…
Scouts need to be rewarded more, they do a crucial job, but it is going to be very, very hard rewarding them in a way that won’t be abused by other players…
Given that being a scout often involves standing around doing nothing…
If levels are increased to say lvl 100 then ANY legendary weapon will be automatically upgraded to 100 and equal the best stats of whichever tier is the current top.
Your time and effort to get a legendary will never be for nothing…no worries…
So when the mythical (level 90) 2014 tier is announced your legendary gets upgraded again and in 2015 when the gods of Tyria (level 100) tier is announced your legendary is once again updated.
If I were you, I would go for a Legendary instead of Ascended.
1) There is no guarantee that Ascended is the ‘final’ tier of equipment. There could easily be another for 2014 or 15.
2. They have said Legendary will always equal the best stats. So once you have your Legendary weapon no more gear grind EVER, at least weapon wise..
3. Legendary will allow you to swap your stats for free whenever your out of combat, so you can go zerker, switch to knights, cleric…whatever…
So wait… I heard more ranger nerfs… Could you all just please instead remove the whole class from PvP isntead? That’d be a lot faster and save a lot of time (and our sanity in PvE). Thanks
Wait til you see the update! You may be making it out in your mind to be more drastic than it really is.
Jon, well more Ranger nerfs may be needed in PvP…in PvE, WvW the Ranger needs additional nerfs like a hole in the head…
Rangers are a joke and laughed at on a constant basis in WvW, dungeons, fractals, boss fights, gauntlet (often kicked, excluded on PURPOSE) and can’t complete endgame content because they have not got enough DPS, the pet(parrot..lol) is dead, I tell you its a dead parrot…
By the way I have not played my Ranger since you NERFED shortbow range by 25% and after 2 pet updates they ended up worse than when you started…
(edited by Meglobob.8620)
So the Ranger will be seeing some changes to the spirit build. We’re being very mindful to carefully shave it so that:
- We don’t hurt other areas of the game where the build may not be a problem, as it is in PvP, and
- We’ve already seen counters to this build showing up (there’s a thread talking about the Warrior countering this build, and to what degree) in the meta.
So, we will be “shaving” the build a little (we don’t want to over-correct the issue) and seeing how the meta adapts.
So your NERFING a build that the meta has adapted too and has developed a excellent counter to in the form of longbow warrior…
WHY?!?!
The 3 different game types and splitting skills. Splitting skills between all 3 of our game types (PvE, PvP, WvW) is very costly – it takes more time to split the skills, and then upkeep the split skills. Instead of upkeeping 1 version of a skill, whenever you make future changes, you now have to make sure all 3 are appropriately balanced for their respective game types. This is very powerful, and something we did in GW1 when we felt we needed it. We just need to be careful not to do it too much, or it means the balance team is literally balancing 3 entire games.
You will continue to have problems in ALL 3 game types if you balance around PvP only.
Your uncalled for NERFING in WvW and PvE as already lost GW2 1,000’s to 10,000’s of players…how is that good for GW2?
So don’t think that we hate X class. We love all the classes. But sometimes we need to adjust a few things in order to protect the health of the overall game.
Come off it, you hate the Ranger class with a passion…just admit it…its given you nothing but problem after problem…
(edited by Meglobob.8620)
A word of advice if your new to the game consider buying gems when nothing popular is on sale in the gemstore…
Then when the popular items com out you will have a stack of gems waiting and won’t after exchange them when the exchange rates is akittens worst…
Yes, permanent stow/lock function no escaping the zoo…
That’s true but how often is your target at max range? Hardly ever? 20% of the time and I am being generous, at the other ranges Warriors win.
- You’re at maximum range by default in WvW. Just don’t get close to your enemies.
So, you can keep enemies at 1200-1500 range all the time, no matter what? Are you a Viz who hugs there tower/keep all day long?
You should make a vid, showing us all how to keep all enemies at 1200-1500…
Ranged is very interesting, the Ranger is NOT the best with ranged weapons. Just compare Warrior with a Rifle/Longbow vs a Ranger with a Longbow/shortbow. I would always choose the Warrior, its a no brainer under the current meta.
Ranger longbow has 1500 range and autoattack deals 317 damage at max range.
Warrior longbow has 1200 range and autoattack deals 212 damage.
That’s true but how often is your target at max range? Hardly ever? 20% of the time and I am being generous, at the other ranges Warriors win.
Also the Warrior longbow as 2 AoE attacks vs Ranger longbow’s 1.
You did see in the PAX tournament that the Warrior took the Rangers completely apart with the longbow…right?
Warrior Rifle/Longbow is excellent.
They add at least one new currency with every update…how many hundreds of different currencies are in the game now?
In Anets world you can never reuse a currency to pay for something different. Someone needs to explain exactly what the word currency means…
GW2 can’t be far off having more different currencies in it than exist on planet Earth, its totally INSANE!
Rangers are very, very good at open world PvE and s/tPvP (I have a over 70% win record with my Ranger), however other classes are better at endgame content such as dungeons, fractals, bosses and WvW.
The pet mechanic is what really lets the Ranger down, especially as the Rangers overall damage is purposely reduced because of the pet.
Ranged is very interesting, the Ranger is NOT the best with ranged weapons. Just compare Warrior with a Rifle/Longbow vs a Ranger with a Longbow/shortbow. I would always choose the Warrior, its a no brainer under the current meta.
Seafarer’s Rest is one of the most active English speaking servers.
Its a WvW/PvE orientated server.
We do love a good bit of drama however…also it has a ‘gallows’ type humour. We do have a fair amount of other nationalities as well, for example our hardcore Bulgarian/Russian nightcrew in WvW (they are really good to run with actually)…

If you want to enjoy this event, do it in the 1st week or so…
After that people will drift away from it and it will become impossible to complete, then end up a ghost town like the Karaka Queen…
The champions in this event are apparently not going to drop loot, so that will put players off in the long run…
(edited by Meglobob.8620)
As long as Ascended gear can’t have sigils or runes, I don’t have an issue.
I guess you have a issue then because the screenshots of ascended weapons I have seen have 3 slots.
A upgrade slot (for sigil)
A offensive slot
A defensive slot
I am assuming you can only have one but you can have any sigil no problem.
Assume armour is going to be same.
There are soooo many currencies in the I would LOVE this quality of life improvement.
It could easily be a add on to the TP.
Me for example I have mountains of badges of honour but I am not a fan of dungeons, so would love to be able to exchange badges of honour for dungeon tokens.
It would allow everyone to play the parts of GW2 they most like which apparently is part of Anet agenda without missing out on rewards elsewhere because they don’t like the content you after do to get them.
