Guild Wars 2

Ok, so would just giving everyone who wants one a skin be a better solution? Just because you didn’t get a skin doesn’t mean A-net doesn’t appreciate you being a customer; it means you haven’t yet gotten a skin. I do see how it can be frustrating, to not get the item you want, but the best thing to do is keep trying, that’s what I’m doing, and it seems to be working. You should also remember, we got the shattered wings as a reward for simply participating in the events!

I’m only saying to take a break if it’s truly as bad as you say “All these wasted hours result in a deep deep disappointment and anger” Things like that make me think you aren’t having fun. What I’m suggesting is play the game to have fun, not to get a skin.

I’m not saying this as someone who got everything they wanted… 150+ runs in Molten fac, never saw or got a jet pack or a mini pet, had a TON of fun doing the dungeon though. Try to enjoy your play and take any flashy things like skins as an added bonus.

I’m in no way saying I support RNG, I would much rather have a token and RNG system (SAB anyone?), I just think that the tokens need to be something that actually takes time… 2k candy would be a skin give away, not a challenge to gather.

I would love it if the put the team responsible for the Frost n Flame conclusion dungeon to be put on dungeons permanently! That was actually a ton of fun, I also liked the original plan for Sub Director Null, why nerf him into the ground turning off his other 2 modes and letting any mines work made the fight trivial. Both of these teams did GREAT on encounters:)

2k zhaitaffy for a ticket? Those cost less then 5Copper on the TP right now, so that would be less than 2 gold for a ticket? Some how I don’t see this happening any time soon, now maybe 200k….

With how common the boxes drop, it shouldn’t be a surprise the odds of getting a ticket are craptastic. To be honest, I think the chance of getting the tickets out of the dragon coffers is fair. An extremely rare chance out of an extremely common drop (at least we get to pull the slot machine crank more often), makes sense.

While I’m not opposed to a guaranteed gain system, it would have to be something that actually took time/effort 2k candies, would cost less then 2 gold on the BLTP. Now some sort of guarantee on the rich coffers would be nice, maybe an open 20 get 1 ticket guarantee. We could apply the same idea to the normal coffers but the amount would have to be increased.

Bubbly over all if you aren’t having fun, take a break. It’s just a cosmetic item, so it’s not like it’s game shattering if you don’t get one. I don’t really think it makes it “the worst game EVER” just because you didn’t get an item you wanted. Keep trying, it’s the best chance at getting one:)

Or unless you bought coffers… at less then 2 silver a coffer that’s pretty cheap.

I think on average you can farm maybe a 60-100 coffers an hour or two, probably more depending on where/how many wps you are willing to jump between.

A big part of the reason people haven’t said much is probably due to the population density in Orr… Or should I say the lack of one. I personally just drop into Orr when I see temple events/Arah up, I don’t really see any other reason to be there. If people had more reasons to be in Orr they might notice this type of thing.

The rates on these are pretty bad, though it’s so easy to get coffers… Any way stats I’ve had for ticket/coffers:

First 1k coffers, got 1 ticket from the batch.
Next 3k coffers no tickets, TONS of candy, 4 minis.
Next 1k coffers 4 tickets…

I love the looks on a lot of weapons so I won’t add screenshots because there would be way to many!

Any way my list:

Bolt, That new aetherblade sword (looks like a rapier), Jade dragon shield, staff, scepter, Fused Long-Bow, and Winter’s bark.

As Dark said, I don’t think we will be seeing a return for the Rit.

I would love to see a third heavy profession added, with a 2-3-3 split at the min, a heavy is the most logical place to go.

Maybe do something like a spell knight; using 2 handed weapons (sword/hammer/staff) for ranged attacks, a few 1 handed melee weapons. Something geared more towards offense, mobility and maybe a touch of control.

A-net please fix the spam dropping of these kits. Standing in LA with a ton of sparkly investigation kits littering the ground isn’t exactly fun.

Ohh wait! Now we have people drawing on the ground with them…

Having the same issue, it works about half the time, just keep restarting the patcher:/

Maybe the pets have learned to look at the clones off hand if the Mesmer is dual wielding weapons… (Please fix this graphic issue A-net!)

But I totally agree with Tigirius on the AoE aspect and pets in general, necro pets, illusions, even the old ball and chain (rangers) could use a bit more resilience.

Same here… My free trial must have been pretty long since I’ve been here from head start on…

I think that would be one long fractal… Most people opt to avoid the longer ones if at all possible, if they remove the special rewards, how would the time investment for doing this as a fractal be compairable to others?

(Side note I love this dungeon when it doesn’t bug.)

Sitting here looking at Rox’s gigantic eyes while we try to figure out how to make her and Bram untie this last slave….

We cleared everything just like normal, apparently the second slave wasn’t set free as we passed by. We came back around and Rox and Bram just stand there looking at him, with our pack of 9 other slaves.

Quick question about the bosses, are you going to be fixing the berserker end fight? It’s sorta easy, and feels almost bug/exploit if you all stack right inside him after the firestorm dies. The only attack he can hit you with being the rocks falling from the sky makes it a bit boreing:(

I seem to have good luck with this dungeon if people focus targets, spreading out dps doesn’t help at all on the way to the boss…

As for the boss.. Kill the firestorm, than stack right inside the berzerker’s target circle… only falling rocks hit you, literally every other attack he has misses. Heal through the light rock damage and loot your kill…

What we really need is a limited time sell back… That would solve problems like this.

Serah Farron my mesmer!:)

You said “We have the fewest weapons in the game”, that’s untrue.

Also why are you classifying the off hand focus, as something cool like steal… The focus is a weapon, like ANY other; steal is a class mechanic, more like shatters for mesmers, or bursts for warriors.

Don’t forget Ele…

Main hand
-Dagger
-Scepter
-Staff
Off hand
-Dagger
-Focus
Underwater
-Trident

Also just curious where was it stated theives are suppose to have the highest single target dps?

How are theives not the sliperiest class. They are easily one of if not the most mobile class.

Anna, for people who REAAAAAAALY don’t want to buy stuff from the gem store (assumeing you mean with real money) why wouldn’t they just take gold —-— >gems —→ buy items?

It has everything to do with RNG, which is what Iculpatus is pointing out…

Besides, I think 95% of those map completion rewards get salvaged just for the rune… so why is it that big a deal?

Levitas if they are acting that way, why do you care if they block you? Just block them, or ignore it and move on.

Sab skins bought with bubbles are account bound… Good luck profiting from them.

^—— TSK beat me to it xD

Mesmer!

sigh •Message Body length must at least be 15.

Yay I posted now…

That’s what Im getting at, I think it would be interesting to have the dragons be like the Orr events, or anything else that isn’t a gaurnteed log in smack it loot and leave event.

I would love this!

StooOOOOoooooOOpid Krait!!! StooOOOooopppid player Krait… O.K. Actually I totaly support Krait and Quaggan!

Yep, but I ment the ones that people typicly farm… Done both Grenth and Balth (not post-change however) How are they now days?

Next time I’ll type out a specific list… Shatterer, Tea Kettle, Claw, SB, Maw, Fire Ele, these are the loot pinata event’s Im talking about…

I never really got into WOW, the only reason I used that description was because WoW is the place instancing raids really took off (at least to my knowledge).

To me a raid would be: Anything that requires more than 1 group, to work togather, and coordinate startegy to acomplish a task. The key part of this being coordinate/work togather vs run around facerolling due to a GIGANTIC ZERG.

It would be really fun to see some more difficult events here in GW2. Honestly, can the large scale world events fail? Currently they are just a big prety loot pinata.

World bosses here take no thought, no coordination, and hardly any effort, infact many you can simply tag a few things, than AFK till it dies and get credit….

Im not calling world events here raids, I’m simply disagreeing with your miss use of the term raid.

Some parts of EQ took hours (ok thats an understatement) to tackle.. Plane of Sky on release was awful… Others such as ST, neerly all POP raids VT, etc were all keyed requiring multiple raids to even gain entry to this raid zone.

Like I said, this is a preWoW players definition vs a postWOW players… An event with no max party size that REQUIRES a massive force, time, communication, and dedication is by the original definition of the MMORPG term, a raid.

Quaggan coooooooooooooooOOOOOooooOOOOooooooo… At least thats what I would like

Killcannon, look up everquest… Look up plane of hate or fear raids, look up any Shadows of luclin raids… Look up Sleepers tomb raids… I could go on, but there is no point. Saying “if theres no party limit” it’s not a raid is silly, this may hold true if your first MMORPG experience is WoW… However games that came long befor WoW had raids that were not instanced.

Everquest had multiple endgame events that were open world, not instanced… Vox, Naggy, Pof, PoH, VS… Hell everything up through PoP was uninstanced on release.

So these don’t count as “raids” either? Wow These were the first things I did that I really considered a raid. I really miss the whole 80+ people raids that we use to have.

Keep in mind any excitement you have for making your own arena should probably be held off till a later date… Only the top 50 QP players in EU and NA and a select few media sites will be given access to the custom arena kits on the 30th. So only a select few will be making their own custom arenas.

After A-net is satisfied they work, they will then roll out the cash shop versions.

1) It appears there is no permanent versions of these at this time.

2) It’s unlikely a non cash shop version will be released, you can buy gems with gold, and use the gems to rent the arena.
3) Thats a big yes…
Custom Arena Options
•Custom Arena Name •Password •Message of the Day •Team Size •Score Limit •Time Limit •Respawn Time •Respawn Type: (Wave vs. individual) •Minimum players •Reserved Slots •Spectators: Y/N •Ready Button •Auto Balance •Lock Gear •Lock Skills •No Stats •Map selection •Member players •Member Guilds•Banned Players
4) No clue… Sounds interesting though….

I’m prety sure they will be upgraded, the transmuted legendaries now link in chat properly (purple) retain a purple display name, etc… The only difference is it says “Transmuted” rather than “Legendary” or “Exotic”. Literally everything else still appears to be legendary… Heres some extra info…

Got a support response… Lag/disconection issues are not under our controll.. sorry you are SOL.

Just happened to me too, bye bye my first SaB shield skin to drop

10/10 Absolutly love it! The theme is great and very fitting for a Sylvari!

- Maile Alyxia -sylvari mesmer
- Serah Farron – thinking about recreating her as a sylvari because I love them most! :P

This might help

Dani, so in your opinion legendary weapons should not be the best available for players who earned them? A-net has allready stated they want Legendaries to be on par with the best available. The only way that is possible is if the stat alocation is changeable. Why should the legendary I worked on for months be less useful for my build than an exotic?

Your statement about still being exotic could easily be reversed….

You’re putting the STATS onto a legendary weapon, but it’s still a Legendary weapon and not an exotic…

The real question is what defines legendary vs exotic, the stats or the skin.

The only reason I would complain at this point is, I did my transmutation after Anet stated I would retain the legendary rarity on the item, as I said earlier… According to the patch notes, and the CS response I got, it is safe, and the transmuted legendaries will be upgraded:)

It’s safe, or at least it’s suppose to be… Heres a post about it, that me and few others had going…

The TL:DR version…. (or what CS told me)

We are very sorry to hear you have been running into this display problem with your legendary. There is indeed an issue with this right now, and our development team has been working on the issue. They should hopefully have a fix out for it soon. We don’t have a specific ETA just yet for you, but we do hope to see the fix out before too much longer. Once the fix is in place we should post an update on our wiki update page at http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_updates. So I would keep an eye on that page so you can know as soon as everything is ready. Again we apologize that you ran into this issue at all, and we thank you for your patience while our team works on getting it fixed.

I’m not sure where else this would go so Im posting it here!

The world is suffering from a dire need of Quaggan Backpacks! The new gem shop back items are so popular, and Im sure many fans would love their very own to carry around!

I know the plush gryphon may have been requested first… but lets agree to compromise! How about the plush gryphon comes inside the Quaggan backpack! That’s the best possible idea ever!

Please please make this happen.

10/10! It sounds prety, and fits a sylvari perfectly! I also like the idea of useing plant/tree related names.

My Sylvari is a mesmer, her name is…
Maile Alyxia

Yea the quaggan pack clips really bad with a female T2 Light chest/shoulder peices:( Which makes me really sad, but I will love my quaggan pack all the same!

Thanks!
I under stand how the scales work, all my alts are at 10:) just wondering if switching was possible.

Hi there! I was wondering is it possible now to switch characters for daily credit in fotms (like dungeons) play with my main till jade maw, than jump to an alt and get the daily?

Yay an update from the GMs!
