Guild Wars 2

I think wearing skimpy armor in combat is a serious logic fail. “I’m fighting for my life, so I’ll take all my armor off!” I mean come on, when the other guys are shooting arrows and swinging swords you’ll want to be as covered as possible. Just my thought process.

Recipes should be account bound even if crafting profession is not. You could level up your characters with the crafting but at least have access to all the recipes you have encountered on your travels. You will still have to level up to be able use those recipes.

Are recipes not account bound at the moment? If not I’ve made the wrong assumption! I’ve been buying the recipes from Karma merchants on my main for all the crafting disciplines as the items say they are account bound. If the recipe only unlock for the character that consumes it then that’s a disappointment, I thought it’s unlock the recipe for all chars on my account.

The recipe sheet can be traded, but once it’s used it’s on that one character only.

Pressing 1 over and over again. It’s the whole reason I got GW2!

My problem is the timer. I can’t always hit her ranged because of the illusions, and melee is suicide because of the illusions. Any tips?

The real solution: Don’t play so well. The aegis goes away when you get hit.

Halcyon.7352:

Bit of a bump, but I wanted to ask for clarification:

Are you having trouble locating or getting to the meat hunks?

If the former, holding left ctrl will show the nameplate for any interactibles in the area.

I beat the figt a day or two ago by using Shield of the Avenger after being lucky and grabbing the meat. The problem was locating the meat like you said. Thanks for the help.

Charak.9761:

Use a necro or guard… ez mode

I must be doing it wrong. Please tell me how I’m supposed to do it with my guard.

eekzie.5640:

I switched to my warrior for this.
Did it with full green stuff, the key point being that I used a sword to permanently cripple the chomper.

Guardian doesn’t really have acces to cripples sadly, so you’re relying on teleports/knockbacks/line of warding or the likes.

Ok, maybe I’m best off swapping to my Warrior then.

I’ve worked my way through the gauntlet and now I can’t seem to beat Strugar and Chomper. I just can’t get to the meat first. Half the time, I don’t even see it on the ground, I just see Chomper run off to an invisible spot. The times it does appear, it’s thrown right to Chomper and he gobbles it up before I can get there. I’m a Guardian, so my immobilizes don’t work here. When the meat hunks do load, I might be able to grab one or two, but by then Chomper has more than me or the fight is nearing completion. The one time I had enough meat to finish off Strugar and get Chomper down to ~25% HP, the timer ran out. I’m running Save Yourselves and Retreat for swiftness and Bane signet for knockdown. What am I doing wrong?

I can hardly get 1 meat lol.

FenrirSlakt.3692:

Ah, again with this horrid misinterpretation of their manifesto.

I don’t like that they took away almost every champion from QD, but I can see why they did it. There was a bunch of controversy and silly arguments whenever someone killed a champion early and whatnot.

Also, Frostgorge Sound’s train is still up and running, so everyone can still farm without any major problems.

Frostgorge won’t help me level up my alts or farm karma.

So if I don’t like the direction the game is going, I’m not entitled to voice my opinion, I have to leave? Well, let’s say goodbye to 99.9% of the player base then, becuase just about everyone has at least one complaint with the game.

@Rouven I think masterwork crafter is still there actually, so ingots wouldn’t work but some of the chef recipes would. EDIT: Some of the trays cost as little as 30 copper to make and then they are masterworks, so what’s to stop me from making a stack of trays, get my 50 silver from monthly, and then sell the trays (which are already a profit)? At 30 copper each, that’s 75 silver, but I also get laurels, luck, mystic coins, and then I get profit on the trays, so pretty much a free monthly for me.

I’m still confused as to why the one pick deserves to get it’s own special drops. The others don’t get anything, so this one is pretty much just a better version of the other infinite use picks.

Except you are really just killing 10 rats, you just don’t see the counter. What should qualify? Crating ingots? Why don’t I just buy 150 ore and make money off of my monthlies then?

Ulion.5476:

Above that area was the gauntlet which were 12 1v1 boss fights with Lydia being the final and hardest boss in the game.

Woah, why do I have to fight my Skyrim wife?

Mystic.5934:

my guess is it’s an oversight, and they don’t change things just because they should be differently, but only when something is needed. If they release an item that requires azurite orbs and azurite orbs go to like 10g, they will add that promotion option or an alternative so that their new item is used. It makes a bit of sense – if you fix every little thing, you’ll spend all your time tinkering with little stuff. also, most things work themselves out and only the price of azurite orbs would be affected. if they tinker, then everyone that invested in azurite orbs lose big and they get mad.

The best solution would be not to mess it up in the first place.

Instead of donating gold, we donate bloodstone. Depending on the amount, we get new vendors!

Figures, I go and refine allllll my leather in squares, and most of that into Ascended items, and then this happens. Maybe if I delete all my bloodstone and bloodstone sink will show up

Be careful with who you send your items to. You never know if they’ll just scam you.

Fror.2163:

When I pug and get a guardian in a group, chances are he’s with staff. Actually, I haven’t seen a non-staff guardian in ages (except mine and newbies who are like “dis my hammer, love my hammer”, good at least you have a weapon that can provide real utility inside the battle).

So, how to tell a guardian that he just should give up on staff for dungeons like CoE, AC, CoF!, etc. and that staff is more of a situational weapon. I want to be able to tell him and still finish the dungeon. So far everytime I mention the topic, I’m seen as a berserker scumbag (yet the lfg said zerker only). But also, I don’t want to shut up because they can’t play. I know I can’t educate people against their will, but I wanna try anyways.

Just play with me. I’m a Zerker/Knight with an Ascended Greatsword and exotic Scepter/Focus. I haven’t seen a staff guard in a long time acutally.

maha.7902:

I can’t do the ritual myself so I ask my buyers to help T_T

Some nerve you’ve got there, taking my gold and then demanding I run the dungeon. What the kitten am I paying you for then? [/sortasarcasm]

Toxica.6749:

OOOooooh do we get to show off our legendary gem purchasing abilities or legendary BLTP trading skills like we do for the weapons?

I got my mom’s credit card, and now I have all of the legendary weapons.

I think shopkeepers should ask for donations to rebuild or build whole new stores. If they get as certain amount of gold (1,000-10,000) they’ll start work and finish clearing rubble and building their store between 6 and 12 weeks.

Vesuvius.9874:

Yes to legendary armor with ascended stats that can be swapped. Make it 10 times as hard to get legendary armor than it is to get ascended. To those complaining about grind, remember you can simply choose to NOT go for legendary items since they would have the same stats as ascended. Sounds like a win-win to me.

@ArenaNet
Make it happen.

How about you can mystic forge 2 ascended armors of the same type, Zojja’s Visage and WupWup Visage for example, and then you get back a Zojja’s Visage that can swap to Wupwup Visage when you are out of combat.

Dusty Moon.4382:

No to Legendary Armor – they said that Ascended would be it.

They also said exotics would be it once upon a time.

I guess in terms of the game I soloed the final boss of SE Story having no idea what to expect. 3 of my party wiped and the 4th guy was running through the entire dungeon to get to us (he joined after we had a drop out). I didn’t read any guides or whatever so I had no idea what to expect and got him to 50% HP before the other guy got there and we took him down. My party members were all cheering me on, and when we beat him one shouted “I want to have Valder’s baby!” at which point I left the pug.

Valandil Dragonhart.2371:

So you salvaged a precursor….

Get anything good from it?

He probably got a few elder wood logs ankittenhril ore or two.

kokiman.2364:

Make enemies hit more frequent but let them deal less damage, suddenly support becomes viable and mindless zerking is nerfed aswell.

AoEs should stay how they are though. Too many of those would be soooo annoying.

That’s too sensible for ArenaNet to implement.

Lobo Dela Noche.5127:

Veterans could make some money with all the mats they have saved up that are just collecting dust.

Crystalline or incandescent?

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

many of us have had less-than-optimum experiences when new to a game, yet we persevere.

Except why should you have to persevere in a game? There’s a problem if that what we have to do lol.

Elric Of Melnibone.4781:

As an exotic armor crafter who made lots of gold, I really wish I could craft Ascended gear and sell it to those who don’t want to craft.

Wouldn’t that be amazing? I made profit getting to 500 and laughed at all my guildies who were complaining about how expensive it was.

Azrael.4960:

Or for more balance, make crafting account bound but remove the bonus xp that goes towards character level. If you’re only going to be getting master crafter once, there’s no point having bonus character xp.

But why would you ever want to get rid of XP?

First they need to make legendaries account bound on acquire, then we can talk about cutscenes and voiceovers.

Sellable ascended gear has been asked for so many times it’s not even funny. And it’ll be expensive too, considering insignias are going for around 40 gold, so expect around 130 gold per piece of armor. IMO ascended mats have been introduced slowly enough now, so bump the refine limit to 3 a day (and in a month remove timegating completely) and make armor tradeable. It shouldn’t shock the market too much IMO.

What about those who use crafting to level? I leveled cooking to 400 on 3 different chars, two of them to get those levels. A guildie recently got the last few levels of his newest char to 80 by crafting.

Just because you got yours and you don’t need it anymore doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be available for people leveling now.

No, ANet doesn’t need to do anything. It’s fine the way it is.

Maybe we could choose to get retroactive XP for the crafting levels we have. Then we get cooking to 400 once and then get 8 levels on all of our characters.

Yay, I can now go from 1 to 80 compltely freely for completely no reason.

Better than removing crafting XP completely. Making it just account bound is a horrible decision, but XP based off of the item crafted instead of getting XP for levelling up isn’t a half bad idea.

StinVec.3621:

[Insert your choice of “icing on the cake” pun]

Grats on your good drop.
I love those rings. Though I still wish we could transmute the name/icon from other rings/accessories onto the stats of another for nostalgia/RP reasons.

I would get 2 more ascended rings (Lunaria and Solaria) to transmute over my Crystalline Band and Ring of Red Death just because they sound cooler.

In reality there is nothing hardcore about using a computer. Kids these days.

It is if you built your computer from scratch, using nothing but parts scavenged from Walkmans, HAM radios, and Teddy Ruxbin dolls. :P

You guys need to get on my level. I gnawed trees down into usable wood which I used to form a crude pickaxe. I then used my crude pickaxe to mine enough metal for a computer. I then built a small fire with nothing but twigs and sheer force of will, which I used to melt the metal. I used my bare hands to shape it into the correct form. It has 128 gigabytes of RAM and over 500 terabytes of memory, on top of 12 gigs of Vram and a 16 core processor that has speeds of 10 ghz.

bigmonto.4215:

Hey I always have an idea on 500 cooking:

At 500 cooking, you should be able to make a ascended replenish-able food of your choosing. And its power should equal to the lvl 80 food you get currently.

Basically once made you can get the convenience of not having to buy your food anymore.

What do you guys think?

That would destroy the market for cooking.

Purple Miku.7032:

They can be farmed in WvW, open world, AND PvP, yet they’re too hard for you to get?

No support.

They’re too hard for people who don’t like PvP or WvW. I spend the majority of my time in dungeons, and I’m stuck going without ascended gear unless I go do something I don’t want to do. Whatever happened to play how you want?

laokoko.7403:

I want to know if the OP bought a bunch of leather before he post it.

Why would I buy a bunch of leather? It’s filling up my inventory as it is for crying out loud lol.

Lucina 11/10 simply because it’s from Fire Emblem: Awakening.
Asta Von Erwin 8/10. Pretty creative.

Guardian: Valderignis, Valde meaning Powerful, or Intensely in Lating, and Ignis meaning fire. So pretty much Powerful Fire.

I think it would make the game worse. I enjoy the action oriented combat, and imo Zerker being to powerful isn’t the problem, it’s the other sets not being worthwhile. I ran Knight’s for a good 8 months, but I found I was at almost full HP the whole time and since it didn’t do me any good to have full HP, I started cycling in Zerker gear. I originally believed I was drawing more Aggro, but now since I have full Zerker I’m still drawing the same amount of Aggro, if not more. Until Toughness draws more Aggro than DPS, and a certain portion of damage is undodgeable (I think 90% of the damage should be mitigated by dodging, but 10% should still be done), Zerker will remain on top not because it’s just too powerful, but because the others are pretty redundant.

Adding it to the wallet would be genius. Then, no more clogged inventories and you still retain your insane amounts of them.

Acerola.6407:

Morsus.5106:

fadeaway.2807:

On average boss fights lasted about 0-10% longer. On fotm49 things went faster than usual because I gearchecked the group to make sure they were all zerkers. Usually I can carry some slackers, but I don’t risk it anymore.

And this ladies and gents, is why nerfing zerker was a bad idea.

Why? People shouldn’t get carried by good players while they’re in PVT. They should gear properly and learn. Of course there is no issue with taking 3 defensive pieces and 3 zerker pieces for getting started.

Yeah, but the idea behind the nerf was to make PVT/Knights/Clerics/etc more valuable in dungeon runs, now people are doing more gear checks, so it backfired.

I got a total makeover kit for getting 5k Achievement Points today, but I just can’t bring myself to make my main into a female. Something feels so wrong about making him undergo such a… procedure… and then make him wear revealing armor. I put a lot of gold into crafting his appearance, and I don’t like the way it would look on her… him… it? I dunno, but my point still stands.

CC Danicia.1394:

Hello all,

Let’s keep this thread on-topic and respectful, please. Thank you.

I was so excited when I saw a mod replied. Then I saw it was just this

Kumu Honua.2751:

There’s already far too much account bound garbage going on as it stands.

Just get rid of account/soul bound on every single item in the game and that’ll fix the problem.
