Guild Wars 2

That would make more sense now I think about it @onevstheworld – I guess I was looking at it from a new players perspective where I entered with lvl1 only and couldn’t unlock anything higher

You need to do all levels from 1-50 (inclusive) to open it up

In fairness I’m at best a casual, and I’ve got everything ascended – all 16 items.
I’m just messing around throwing some other bits and pieces on another toon now just in case I fancy a change. I’ve never played GW1 and only got the game on HoT release.

It’s really not that hard to get ascended gear as others have said above – although weapons I’ve relied on drops (yes, I’ve been a little lucky there) lol

Isn’t this just Diminishing Returns on mob killing?

LOL There’s a website for everything: http://gw2blacklion.com/

Although that’s pretty poor, this will give you a better idea of drop rates. Although a year old.

Graphically I would like to see them use VB, AB, TD and DS. I know there are issues with the actual maps in the HoT environment, but graphically, they are well done

- I like the way the Asure JP fractal is done – more that it is different from a “flat” environment fractal.
- I like the way Swamp/Moss need some level of co-ordination to get through the Tunnel.
- I HATE THE FREAKING DOLPHIN LEVEL!!! PERIOD!!!

I’d like something that implies and requires team work. Sure, kitten frustrating when it’s a pug and not TS and people ignore others etc….but I like them

Also, the biggest thing I would like to see, is a multi-option spawn capability so that Bosses/Mob’s/Paths are not always 100% the same. IT would mix it up nicely. One might be relatively straight forward, one might be mid level and one might be a royal pain in the kitten – but the not knowing and having to complete it would be fun in my eyes

Ok, thanks all. I was fairly certain the whole “you are carrying a piece of armour, so it therefore takes up one space” argument would be the one – but just wanted to make sure.

So would people in general find it beneficial to have the ability to stack the same items inside their inventory? Maybe a special purchase like the cross account slot/tab?

I see people talking about buying 200-300 items to dump in the mystic forge, but I assume they do them in blocks of 40-60 to be able to manage it?

So, I’m new to the game, but wanted to ask what seems like a glaringly obvious problem…so I’m sure there is a super complex reason as to why this can’t/does’t/won’t happen, but thought I would ask anyway

I purchase 20 Green Gloves, all identical, from the TP.
It shows in my TP Inventory as “Items 1” and I click on it, and there is a stack of 20 identical, green, gloves.
I click “Take all”.
I now have used up 20 slots in my inventory.

Why does the personal inventory not allow for that to continue to be a stack?

So reading through this, I know that RNG is applied to the Account – but does that mean that the Bell Curve/outlier/etc are all tied to that one account – so if it’s an outlier account – all characters would have the same favourable luck?

Or is it the Character that become the outlier?

Sorry for newbi question – as it seems I have one character that is luckier than the others, but that might just be me being superstitious

@TheMSR – It’s nothing to do with destructive forces or commentary. As I said, I’ve read through the thread and was going to pass it up.

However, it bothered me that the OP was getting this kind of response, so wanted to know at what point in the conversation it happened.

More inquisitive than anything else shrugs

I was close to ignoring this and moving on, but I have one question from Page one that is really bugging me.

Ally – in all your examples you have given, it’s a case of “What you you do if this person said to you …. I’m going to murder your family….” or whatever it is.

I’ve been online in various capacities since the 80’s. I’ve played a number of games in those years. Not once has a random stranger come up to me in game and insulted me in any form.

Now, I HAVE been insulted many times, from conversations that I’ve been having with people that have gone “south”. Fair enough, it happens. Personally, to old and life’s to short to spend any time worrying about it….but then, that’s just my outlook on life.

I guess what I am asking is this. The comments you have received – have they come randomly, from someone whispering you, making this statement with ZERO initial engagement from you….orrrr….has it come from you engaging in general conversations in Zone chat or from a conversation that you initiated?

Not sure where you’re getting those prices from Yalora.

10 mins ago (3.00pm GMT) they were at:

Buy: 35:12:0
Sell: 37:00:0

^^ how does that work Tex? I’ve tried sticking in 4 but that doesn’t work. That being said, it does recognise I can put one in… shrugs

But why sit and wait in the pre? shakes head

My personal favourite is the hoards of people after the event standing at the chamber going “Key? Key? Key?”….

So just wondering here, how much bank space would you need to store this volume?

I had that for the longest time, until I discovered my space bar was knackered

If I may, can I ask how come so many relatively obvious bugs seemed to slip through QA?

I assume there is QA for the updates that are released – at least in some form or another?

Something like the LFG being bugged, not saving character place, etc, I mean these are pretty big issues…

Not pointing fingers or trying to cause issues, just honestly wondering why

@Paul Ella – Does that mean at the start of the fight, we all shout “Get Her!” and then cross the beams?

@TPMN.1483 – Matrix.

^^ Likewise.

15//char

Since update, I also get the issues with lack of Character Position saves.
Keeps putting me back to where I was last night when I logged.

Also, the minute I open up TP, click buy and type “O” it crashes.

Sent a report in but bloody annoying.

Thanks for the quote @Jahroots.6791

I hear what you are saying about the Dungeons. Same within ESO which I played a lot, the dungeons where good content – but it was their endgame. So they were quite long, well thought out, but turned up rarely in terms of new content. There is a massive amount of time invested in making just one.

I like what they have done with the fractals in here. The only thing I truly hate is the lack of dynamic actions in a lot of these instances. The Mobs are in the same place, Mossman stands at the same hut, etc. IT would be nice if things changed around a little in the instances. Keep people on their feet. Like when doing #10 – maybe have the fire demon bonus kill either stand at the bottom, walk up and down the bridge….I don’t know, but 3-4 different mechanics just to mix it up a little.

Agree with the trinket drops. Would be nice. Would remove the waiting for 3 mths to get Laurels or worrying about getting 24 Guild Commendations.

Love the idea in general and the storey line – A title would indeed be imperative

Do we know if it gives any special visuals, like the legendary weapons do? I hope so…

^^ You almost sound like you know how the development/QA/Release process works. Refreshing

So, this is where I’m supposed to tell you how incredibly “l33t” we are, full of min/maxers who are about to win Season 2 of the league in PVP.

Welp, we’re not ? We’re a bunch of friends (6) who were on GW/GW2 years ago, moved around and ended up on ESO for a year and came back to enjoy GW2 and HoT.

We’ve got the Guild to level 6 so far on our own backs. We do events here and there and are non-committal about them simply because we all have real lives as well as on-line ones. We like taking part in World Bosses with TT and Teq when they are up with other guilds we know but not every day – oh and a couple of us LOVE Fractals.

So yeah, not really a great pitch, nor begging for you to join…

If you want a chilled place to chat, join on fully paid for TS with music, assistance in getting AP or completing that meta event and to have a laugh with some people that are well past their 20’s then drop me/us a line, register on the site we’ve put up: www.gw2mob.com and come have some fun.

If you want to min/max, be elite and pwn the world, there’s lots of other guilds to go join

Have a good one and thanks for reading.

Oh….and if it’s important to you (from a pvp perspective…we do play it a bit) we’re on Ring of Fire.

Mos.

^^ Good shout. Log going up tonight.

Hey all.

So yeah, I’m kinda new to GW/GW2 and still finding my way around, but I will say I absolutely love Fractals. I’ve got 4 lvl80’s, one fully ascended to run 1-79 (my level so far) and the others to play PVP and PVE.

In terms of me as a player, I would guess I kind of sit in the middle. I’m not really a min/maxer and certainly not skilled enough for any leagues or pro-content. I don’t play the game 10hrs a day. On the other hand, I normally get 2-3 hours in a day and much more at the weekends (in between married man duties and working) – so definitely not what I would class as a casual “pickup, play, leave” type.

I’ve seen a few posts in the forums talking about the death of dungeons and the lack of any new ones, the creation of Fractals, the new fractals allegedly coming through sometime this year and wanted to ask a couple of questions really on people’s views, insights, thoughts from what was here previously before I ever played if that’s ok?

Dungeons have always been a little arduous to me. Needing to get a good group, organised, understand the run, the multi-stage mechanics of the dungeon and having the mentality to understand a wipe is a wipe, start again – rather than whine and moan and leave the group (or worse, get kicked as you made a mistake). It can take a fair amount of time. If you look at an organised run and dry run for the likes of TripT you can easily invest an hour and often more for no result.

Whereas with Fractals, being mini dungeons, you can run a few of them in that time, learn the new techniques, have a change of scenery, play with different groups every run, etc. Different bosses (granted only 10 of them) and sure, they become relatively easy once you get to know them and their mechanics as well – but people are far more forgiving with a wipe or a issue than they ever where with dungeon runs.

So the questions are:

1) Has the move away from dungeons in to Fractals been made potentially from a corporate perspective within Anet that to design, create, release batches of new fractals been a time/money factor. Quicker to make and release over Dungeons, thus the push on these?
2) As a general player, is this really a bad thing? If you are a diehard Dungeon specialist, then sure, but in the same way for a diehard PVP’r you probably don’t care about Fractals. But from the “General Population” is it a bad thing?

Sorry for the long winded post, but as a newbie t the GW2 world, and being bored at work thinking about how I’m going to complete #22 Challenge after wiping 4 times last night with 2 different groups, it got me wondering ?

Have a good day all and maybe see you in Fractals.

I know somoene who has just cleared levels 1-50. He’s been playing for the last 3mths or so.

He would be so effin kittened if it got reset right now, I wouldn’t even like to contemplate it.

Whilst generally on the topic of Fractals – is anyone else getting the random “Sorry, you’re dead” strike. It’s happened a couple of times where my health is fine, and then I just drop dead :/ It’s not AR – or shouldn’t be, as I’m running 137 in a 77 zone so is it a random condition from Mossman or Boom what’s doing this?

That being said Sird – my understanding is that BDO is foremost a Trading Game? The thing that puts me off more than anything is the Hentai/Korean/Japanese roots :/

I was very disallusioned to start with, but after a bit of work, myself and 4 others are now up and running. We’re at level7 I believe. Started decorating and such.

The main issue I really have is the place is HUGE!. It’s clearly designed for massive Guilds – which is a shame :/

Apart from the random times you just get killed because…… shrugs

Otherwise, all this week and last, only 1 tree attempt, it failed, and convinced them to do open. Took him down painlessly

I had to buy them, as I have a gold character colour scheme. Looks kitten to be honest

Seems like it. I’ve been approx. 4 weeks with nothing, and 1 ascended weap. chest in 4 mths.

^^ Fair comment

Don’t think they were. I had to buy one and it cost me 125g / 500g for 5.

Discounted Chest Keys wouldn;t be a bad thing 5 for 200gems please

The same reason why in various countries, there are certain companies that are ALWAYS running 50% off sales. It’s just marketing. You see it, you think “oooh, that’s a good deal, maybe i will get it” and they get an impulse buy

Anyone know if anything new is going up today in the Gem Store?

The obvious answer would be the ability to be able to sell the Crates on TP – or at least the weapons you get out of it. As for the plain Fractal Relics, I’m now at 1200 – not sure what to do with them shrugs

Just a minor note, at least change the opening text on your site so it’s doesn’t completely rip it verbatim from JaxnX :/

Use them to buy the Fractal Weapon crates, to get the achievement:

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fractal_Master

And get a Gold Fractal Weapon

@Andrraus – Well, I don’t particularly like spending Gems on an item where it’s supposed to effectively be the same as Mystic Kits, but the return rate on decon is lower than the kits. I know there is the “convenience” element, but if the stats are the same, yet the returns are coming out lower, I’d want a refund.

Onevstheworld – Can I ask why you are using an alt to store the rings? They’re not sellable and only infused are worth keeping afaik?

Dvious.8126:

wow, so asking for something is now considered demanding? /facepalm, these kids…smh. Not once did I say “give it to me”. It’s a suggestion. Here’s my statement though. This is addressed to THEM, the developers, not to YOU, the player. Again, if they were to go that route and you didn’t like it you have all the right to use a third party program. I really wish ignorance were painful…..

Interesting you default to the term “Kid”. Anyhows, look at your title: Give us an IN-GAME Voice Chat Server

Pretty sure you did say “Give it” – that is a demand built statement, not a question or suggestive sentence.

lol – this was begged for for months in ESO before the PS launch of the game.
Voice came in, proximity chat came in.

Within 60 seconds the forums melted from complaints ranging from “I can hear peoples music in the background and they won’t turn it off” through to “OMG they are playing pron”. To this day, they are still complaining afaik.

Worst. Thing. Ever.

Oh…and as far as I know, developers on forums (those rare times they do come over) tend to ignore the “demanding” thread title and posts…unless Anet is different?

So, interesting update. Last night I had a fair few runs on Fractals and picked up about 15 Rares. They gave me 25 Ecto’s….Some what of a change compared to before I sent in a support ticket and posted this…. odd..

Still no ruddy ascended weapon crate drop Hint hint anet

Just 2 cents from an average, relatively new player.

In the last week, I’ve been doing the 50+ as normal, and even when it’s swampland, everyone in the pugs is “open” rather than the Tree (I ask just out of curiosity). So the general mentality, certainly from the EU server I play on, is mostly cool

Hmmm….. thanks for the feedback MJS.

Maybe it is RNG. I know it hates me as I’ve not had anything decent drop from TT or Teq in 3 weeks :/ Fractals gives me the occasional decon ring, but that’s about it shrugs lol
