There are banks in each starting city (after the tutorial you’ll spawn right outside of these). Also all crafting stations have bank access, even if your character doesn’t do any sort of crafting.
I’m in no way an expert but don’t expect – though I made profit with low value items – the item you’ve listed to be sold/bought on the same day. Sometimes it takes weeks. Also recognize the volume of items you list. If you list multiple stacks at once there’s a good chance most of them will never sell in any timely manner, it’s a sign for other people to go way lower than you.
If you want to optimize it set up the buy things on late sunday/early monday. That way most people played over the weekend, thus generated more stuff, thus lowering prices for you. Sell before the weekend – or whenever prices went up if you like that. That way princes are higher.
You also have to invest time. It’s not about buying/selling one or two items. Usually you flip in bulk. For beginners food ingredients are the easiest. They are cheap and high in demand. Go through the items and calculate how much money you would get (some people made apps for that, but I don’t know any public app – I did however write my own some time ago when I was bored). The price you sell an item has to be over ~1.1765 (1/0.85) times higher than the price you bought the item (you get only 85% of the sell price because of trading post fees), and gw2spidy or something can give you an idea of the demand of the item. If you buy orders aren’t fulfilled at the end of the week cancel them and do new ones. Also the before/after weekend thing is just a rule of thumb to maximize your potential earnings, obviously you can buy and sell at any time. Also when selling stuff don’t be afraid if you got more of item x to sell to be cheaper than the last one – even if it’s yourself. As long as it’s over ~1.1765 times the buy price as said above you’ll turn a profit.
Cooking ingredients don’t give a huge profit, they are cheap as already said, but they are good to learn the basic principle and even just a few coppers profit times thousands per week is still a few gold per week profit (usually you can easily get a few thousand buys/sells for them a day even).
It’s really not that bad with Blade Shards, finished the dynamics pack shortly after the end of the event, and the statics pack about a month ago – only with mining sprockets and shards from the Sprocket Generator. As soon as you have one it’s just a matter of investment – time or gold – to get the others. The only thing that runs dry at some point are the power cores.
I have a friend who had a similar problem until she got a new PC. Though if I play the game on my laptop it only runs with 30fps usually I don’t notice much of a drop in DT or SW. It’s probably using some shader instructions which are not optimized on older or specific graphic cards. I run nVidia on both my PC and Laptop, could be a problem specific to older AMD (eh still feels kinda weird not to write ATI even if that’s nearly 10 years past now) cards.
ANet was implementing DX11 in GW2 but it went totally bad, they just don’t have experienced people with that. From before the first BWE there are videos (I’m sorry that I can’t find any quick because it’s over 3 years ago) that showed they allowed to switch between DX9 and DX11.
The problem was as they had no experience in DX11 the performance was actually lower and a lot of bugs occurred which is why in the end they scrapped DX11 and focused on DX9.
ANet even had some issues with NCSoft about this and NCSoft was close to take executive action to change this decision, yet seemingly ANet prevailed.
Considering this it’s highly unlikely DX12 will be implemented in any timely fashion. Though ANet did upgrade their engine from DX8 to DX9 way back when Factions released, so it is not unprecedented that they do change if there’s enough benefit/demand.
My Asuras:
Qibbi
Gaaira
Atajja
Gaijje
Gleela
Nioxxa
Daijja
only one with a tilte: Researcher Loofi; can’t complain.
Gaaira, Gleela, Nioxxa, and Daijja are all from 2014.
I usually also try having naming conventions. Like the standard Asura naming convention I used. But for example for Charr it’s that first and surname start with the same letter so I’ve got Bonfuse Burnpurr and Aurora Ashclaw. For Humans I do go for normal sounding names usually. Anna Jasmina, Megumi Azusa, Lana Ocean, Miranda Solheim, Mira Asoka.
If people don’t get the lack of the red ArenaNet icon at the top and the huge message at the bottom it’s basically their own fault. No more stuff would help if these people already willfully ignore that.
Especially not noticing that while typing the scam address in the browser while also not noticing that the address does not include a “guildwars2.com/” in it.
The authenticator software doesn’t care at all about any connection or if there’s even a sim in your mobile. You only need a connection for syncing it when you first install it (which you obviously have done). After that the software has an id/hash saved and with the current clock setting computes the 4 digit code.
Even trying to bind keybinds to a controller will let you see that there aren’t enough buttons on said controller. Well at least if you want a good margin of flexibility.
If you play ursan style like in GW1 a Guitar Hero guitar works, but well GW1 allowed following team members.
How many characters and what level are they? You can transfer for FREE (if there is room to transfer) if you have no characters (but you may have to wait 7 days anyway….(don’t know how first selection counts in the transfer time limit equation).
Unless you have some 80s with above exotic gear, I suggest you just delete you character(s) and transfer. May want to tell us where you are at before doing anything drastic (and we can give you hints on storing anything you may want to keep).
Hmm I wonder, all above exotic gear is always account bound, so it wouldn’t be as bad actually. Though you would loose your crafting progression.
For those of you who have been asking about DX11 support for Guild Wars 2, our goal with GW2 has always been to provide a gorgeous fantasy world while at the same time running on a wide range of gaming PCs.
Focusing on DX9 allows us to do this, as it’s a much wider supported graphics API than DX11 is and we wanted our game to reach as many of our fans as possible.
We will be evaluating supporting DX11 post launch. ~RB2 (Rubi)
I was always interested DirectX 11 for this game but the hope is gone. The performance during Zerg is incredibly worse etc…
The last section from Facebook was never happened during the time.
It’s not possible as it’s not only the color of the dress that’s affecting it, it’s also very much about the surrounding light.
Also I always see brown and light blue, which the colors really are if you check them with a color dropper, as the image is just super oversaturated. I literally never saw it as either black/blue or gold/white.
ANet had been dabbling with DX11 some time before GW2 was released, there was still the option to select DX11 in the first or even second open beta weekend.
But alas they had no one experienced enough with DX11 resulting in a lot of issues with the result of it being cut. There is more to it but I wont go into more details here.
Interestingly, this is comparable to having the protection boon on you at all times. Or in other words, to a berserker protection is worth something like 1000 toughness. (To someone in toughness-primary gear, it’s worth more like 1400)
This actually isn’t quite true. Protection reduces incoming damage by 33%. It doesn’t boost toughness. This makes protection a higher value boon for zerkers as they inherently take more incoming damage. That being said, the rest of your post looks good.
He’s actually right by the numbers, the problem is as stated in my previous post that the bigger the numbers the effect still diminishes. You just forget to take into account that the effect is quadratic instead of linear.
The problem here is how armor is calculated.
Toughness and Defense are simply added, and the resulting value is the divider of the incoming damage.
You have a base toughness of 926 and a base defense of 920/1064/1211 for exotic (967/1118/1271 for ascended). Which means you have at least 1846 armor for scholar professions.
To half the incoming damage from there you would need another 1846 toughness. You can get flat 300 toughness from the trait line and 1003 for exotic (1087 for ascended) equip. Which means you still have to come up with 459 points of toughness (through consumables or skills or specific traits) to just reduce the damage in half from the damage you would get anyway.
Also the difference between light and heavy armor is just 1/6th of the damage, but you need exponentially more points to achieve higher results, also 2600 armor is used for the tooltips.
So to double your armor you have to double at least 1846, while doubling your damage requires you to just double 926, which again can be increased by at least 1.5 by crits.
The thing here is that both the points needed double each time and the effect diminishes by half each time. Thus the curve of needed points for armor is a power of 2 or 4 (I’m bad at math sometimes, can’t go through the numbers in my head) while the curve of points needed for damage is a power of 1.
Actually, lorewise, weren’t the guilds groups within each kingdom that often had conflicts? Conflicts that eventually pulled the whole kingdoms into war, but it started on a smaller scale. My memory may be failing me though.
Not that it really matters, but you know.
Also, actual GvG is happening in HoT I believe. So there is that.
Yes that’s true, which is why guilds were forbidden in Ascalon and Kryta for a long time.
I wasn’t lucky, it’s statistics. A ticket has a drop chance of about 2 to 2.5%, and a ticket of about 25 to 30%. You need 10 scraps for a ticket, which means you get at least about 1 in 40 chests, which is at least 2.5 in 100. So now we combine these numbers to about 5% which means actually 1 in 20 is a whole ticket.
To check the numbers see here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Lion_Chest/Drop_rate
Last time I calculated it the numbers were a bit worse, which is why I came to 25 instead of 20 now, but it’s always between these two (check archive there too if you don’t believe it).
It should be common knowledge. They are only good if you hope to get claim tickets out of them and statistics say you need to open 25 for one whole ticket.
I got a rare Super Pistol Skin but gifted it to a friend before the Wardrobe was a thing because I had no use of it at the time (it also was the cheapest super skin at the time). Would I get it back? No. It was your choice to do what you did.

hylek, ogre, and krait rewards are crap, yes they are unique, but that doesn’t make them better. I would rather take the grawl rewards every time.
Also even just doing fractals and randomly getting the Grawl fractal gives you a lot of those just as a bonus. So avoiding any places where Grawl appear is also a conscious choice.
If I am aiming to just get a legendary, doesn’t matter which one… Would it be best to put in Greatswords into the forge since there are 2 Greatsword Legendaries? Would that be a higher chance of getting a precursor?
If you are throwing 4 random weapons into the forge, even 3+1, the result is a random weapon. Can even be one you didn’t even threw in.
4 of the same gives you that specific weapon type.
Though throwing stuff into the toilet is about as expensive as just buying it from the TP. You CAN get lucky, like I have been 7th try for lolz and got Dusk, or you can get unlucky and even throw move value in than just buying from TP.
