CAN WE PLEASE JUST HAVE A 2V2 EVEN IF ITS CASUAL?

seriously I log on and there’s is nothing I can do, I play maybe a few times a month now because I have no reason to

Log on :

- check friends list.. ask a few people if they want to premade, nope not enough on
- don’t wan to solo que until matchmaking is fixed, even still it’s frustrating relying on 4 randoms AND you can’t try random classes / bad specs
- check friends list again.. oh someones in a hotjoin.. join for 5 minutes until I get bored
- join a duel game.. everyone’s just standing around akitteng

-log off

- check back in 5 hours
- repeat process
- don’t bother for a few days

The LFG tool is coming next week. That should make forming teams for tournaments easier. You’ll even be able to merge a 3 player group with a 2 player group.

You can still solo queue for teams right now. There’s probably a group of 4 out there somewhere that would appreciate it. I think when the LFG tool arrives, you’ll have to have a full party to queue, but you don’t at the moment.

Can I add time to it to reactivate or would I need to buy a new one?

ilr.9675:

I think it’s really important to be a kitten to bad rangers. They need as many people as they can telling them that their class is just bad overall and keeps getting worse every update. Then they can switch to maining another class that’s easier to play correctly and eventually Anet will have to take notice of the record low playing-time the class gets in their datamining … and hopefully … eventually … stop nerfing ranger in PvE & WvW just b/c some guys had a ranger on their team and won the Tourney at PAX this week.

(they wouldn’t have ever nerfed Warrior or Guardian for that reason…)

I guess you don’t play PvP. Spirit rangers were over-powered and the nerf was expected for a long time before PAX.

Plus, that nerf didn’t really effect PvE because nobody plays a spirit ranger in PvE.

coronaas.4362:

they will get right on that after they make fractal rings salvageable

At least you can vendor those.

ilr.9675:

This isn’t a theory either, it’s proven…. so is the opposite extreme that they will cast wells 95% of the time the instant they get up from a careless LB ranger using PointBlankShot on them. So if you see careless rangers or some other ranged n00bs attacking these that way, be sure to PM them about it and let them know that they’d literally be more useful if they were just AFK’ing instead.

Or you could not be an kitten and just tell them to use a melee weapon. Bonus points for telling them why.

Suggestion: Right click stack, select “Use all”. Even put a confirmation prompt in if you want. That’s still 3 clicks instead of 500.

You just sell them. They are vendor “trash”, but at 50c each a stack sells for 1.25g.

These (along with lodestones) are actually what I want when opening orrian boxes … 1 stack of boxes turns into about 10 stacks of these.

Neural.1824:

. Unfortunately this will eventually taper off as many accounts hit 300%

I doubt we’ll see people hit 300% for a long time.

You don’t actually need a lot of those materials for the actual ascended weapons.

What you do need it for is crafting exotics to level up your craft skill. I expect a high demand over the short term, which will taper off as people finish leveling.

Not sure where this idea of crafted precursors came from. I heard talk of a scavenger hunt type quest to get one (I’m thinking something along the lines of the black moa chick in gw1 … but harder), but I can’t say I’ve seen any hint at all about crafting one.

Even that was made clear it wouldn’t be in for a long time, and as it wasn’t mentioned in the “Here’s what we’re going to do this year” announcement, it probably won’t be until next year at least.

If you don’t want to MF, don’t. Just save up and buy the thing like everybody else.

Wow, 11 months ago. I was sure the achievement panel revamp would contain this …

I’ve had dungeon master done for a while, so I guess it doesn’t directly concern me anymore, but it would have been really nice to have before.

Hanako.1827:

What happens when we all get 300%? What will the point in it be?

You need more and more for each level. I expect it will take a lot of luck to max, perhaps even millions.

Thanks A-net. What this fractal really needed was more dredge.

Tom Gore.4035:

A sentry, by definition, should inform the main force of an incoming enemy. Several ways to do this, too.

I like the idea of sentries putting out a map or team chat notification with approximate numbers.

There could also be a short delay built in, so if you kill the sentry quickly enough it won’t go out.

Lords and supervisors could do something similar, but if claimed it should also go into guild chat.

Try turning character model limit down and character model quality up.

Weird. I deposited my stuff and zoned out, when I zoned back I thought I’d give it another shot, and this time it worked. How odd.

Yeah, I tried different orders. As soon as I put in one of the other components it fades out the shard. With all 4 in there the “Forge” button is still disabled.

Is the recipe to receive 3 globs not …

1 Shard of Crystallized Mist Essence
1 Mystic Coin
1 Pile of Crystalline Dust
1 Master’s Salvage Kit

As soon as I put in the shard it fades out the other components.

Glob to vial seems to work fine.

You get the whole set.

Actually what you get is one complete set of low level blues with the skin. You can use transmutation stones on there.

You also get one complete set of skins that you don’t need to use a stone on. These can be used on PvE armor or you can convert them to PvP.

Personally, I would transmute the blues for PvE and convert the skins to PvP where they can be used by any character.

And no, this is not the heritage armor. That is only available if you have HoM rewards from Guild Wars 1. This is a choice of the gem store armors Primeval (heavy), Krytan (medium), and … something else I forgot the name of for light armor.

Manoa.5897:

I got my mail earlier with my WvW booster, but didn’t claim it. When I saw this thread, I logged back in to claim it with my main WvW character to ensure I claimed it on the right character. However, I cannot claim the booster on my WvW character or any other alts, as the mail does not exist for those characters. The ONLY character who can see the mail with the booster (and therefore claim the booster) is the character I was logged in on at the time I received the mail.

It appears the mail is not an account-wide mail, but was only sent to the first character you log in with after the mail went through. :-/

Wow, that’s even worse. So there was no way at all I could have got this on my WvW main.

A-net, it’s a great gesture and I do appreciate it, but I’m hoping the whole soulbound thing is an oversight?

You also get the stuff if you buy the digital deluxe upgrade (which I did yesterday as it was on sale).

Azure Prower.8701:

It’s just a booster. Only lasts an hour.

Actually, it’s a mini-booster. Only lasts 15 minutes. Still, I’d like to use it for 15 minutes.

Jewelry boxes are probably your best bet. They are random, but it’s a good chance. I have over 500 sitting in my bank after using the ones I need for my legendary.

You can also buy them for 15 fractal relics.

What we really need is a way to get rid of them that doesn’t also use up ectos.

raptor.1064:

with the 2 week release schedule there is no time to actually finish content

I have to disagree with that. I was at 15/17 after the first day. Yes, I did play a lot that day, but I also did two hours of sPvP and a fractal 30 run.

There is plenty of time to get this done.

So I claimed on a character I don’t WvW with.

I didn’t think to look … no other boosters are soulbound, why would this one be?

Any chance you could make them account bound?

It’s every 1,000 AP you get to pick a skin. For multiple of 3,000 (3,000, 6,000, 9,000) you pick an armor skin, for the rest you pick a weapon skin.

Sorry you picked the wrong one, but you’ll get a chance to pick others … and honestly the zenith skins are best for weapons you don’t use very often, you probably already have or will get better skins for weapons you use a lot.

mist league is open for anybody to join.

I was previewing some armor in my locker for my guardian, found some I liked and equiped it. Problem is I liked the colors I saw on the preview as well … which I believe are the colors the starter armor comes with, but as I don’t actually have those dyes they are not available with my new armor.

Anyone have any idea what dyes those would be? It was a silver and a blue color.

Agreed. It would be different if they gave even a small buff, but they do nothing but put a picture on your shoulder. Let us sell them.

You could play with your perceptions a little … make your characters with speed buffs charr or norn and make the slow ones asura.

Large characters always feel like they’re moving slower and small characters always feel faster even though they are actually moving the same rate.

Of course, too late if you’ve already made all your characters, though you could use a total make-over kit to adjust the height slider.

Mel ryuzaki.1402:

.

Collectible button toggle off.
What i mean is that everytime i bring a mini-pet and get loot i always do deposit collectibles to be faster and mini-pet since its a collectible always vanishes aswell.
To avoid this easily and for people to use mini-pets everytime there should be a manual toggle off on collectible items.

This already exists. It’s called an invisible bag. Any collectibles in there, including minis, will not be deposited when you select deposit all.

They should change them to blue rarity and let us forge them.

Also obsidian shards … need something to do with them. I have over 500. Thought about hoping for “fails” on the clover recipe for T6 mats, but I’m actually short on ectos right now.

Have you ever heard of paragraphs?

Yeah, this is a bit annoying, but if you click the “leave instance” button above your minimap after the match ends but before it kicks you out, you will return to where you started rather than go to the mists.

Bought a recipe from the tailor master in LA for 896 karma, no achievement.

locoman.1974:

My one gripe, though, is anytime I switch from a set with 2 1h weapons to a 2h one using the hero panel (something I do with my guardian, usually to switch between scepter-shield to staff), the main hand weapon lands neatly where the 2h used to be, but the offhand one lands elsewhere in the inventory and I need to open it to move it to the safe box.

Yes! Would be nice if they fixed that.

Poledo.3256:

I use regular bags and keep any items like extra weapons etc in the first few slots of my bag. I sell and breakdown frequently and always use deposit/combine.

I would highly recommend at least an invisible bag as your last bag. This removes any possibility of an accidental sell (or worse, salvage), plus if you want to carry a collectible and not deposit it (such as a mini-pet), you can place it in there and it won’t go with deposit all.

Pure Heart.1456:

Aspect Arena played too slowly.
If movement speed was substantially increased, and cooldown time on the skills was reduced, I believe it would have been a lot better.

For example, it was both a chore and a bore to make your way, all the way to the crystal ball, and then make your way all the back to base at an even slower than normal speed. Argh! I played it only for the achievement/reward.—which is not to say it didn’t have its moments.

The different skill sets were suited to different things in the game.

The sun aspect was best for carrying the orb and scoring – with the speed boost you could score with some of the middle orbs in seconds.

The lightning aspect was best for intercepting and stopping opposing orb carriers.

I didn’t do much with wind, but I think it’s good for supporting/defending your own carrier.

Yeah, I usually do it after I deposit collectibles.

I always keep an invisible bag and an oiled bag (vendor trash) on each character. Compact does not work on those (though I wish it would compact within the bag at least).

On some of my earlier characters I also have a craft bag, but I don’t bother with that now, and may just replace it with a regular bag on the characters that do have it.

I enjoyed this more than Southsun Survival (though I did like that too).

Why isn’t Aspect Arena in the mini-game rotation?

This is working now, thank you!

Pretty sure it’s just supposed to be one chest per day.

it does work if you click on watchlist achievements or dailies. I’d finished both my dailies and my PvE monthly, but fortunately my PvP monthly is not done yet so I could get in from there and then add something to my watchlist.

This is happening to me too. I have a bit over 9,200 achievement points.

Vorch.2985:

I REALLY hope they give us the “extended experience” promised before launch.

Even the ability to participate in Guild Chat or trade on the TP from a tablet or computer would be REALLY awesome.

That way, GW2 is never too far away.

This is coming through the API.

Authenticated API is in the works, once it’s here we will be able to create apps that do all that stuff.

Scoobaniec.9561:

I hope that wp cost reduction wont pass 1%

Even if it is only 1%, that’s still saving me money over keys that I probably won’t buy any of.

Fallout.1798:

Or a hard fractal like the dredge one? (yes yes, I know that some people find this fractal to be not that hard or easy, however it is a difficult one for a lot of casual players)

The problem with Dredge isn’t that it’s hard or easy, it’s that it takes so long.

RoRo.8270:

Keg brawl is a horrible mini game. It is so broken it’s hilarious you can throw the keg from the middle to your npc that is how broken it is. Anet is understaffed so I don’t expect the bugs in it to be fixed anytime soon

People keep saying that like it’s easy to do. It really isn’t. Yes, you can practice the angle and get it down, but you’ve still got people trying to stop you, and it’s not a short cast.

I think all the mini games should be added to private arenas. Let us play with friends, rather than just get thrown in at random.

It would also allow access to the games outside of the rotation if you really want it.

Robert Hrouda.1327:

That being said, having a well balanced character is pretty important; not just for Queen’s Gauntlet but in general. I keep the gear to swap playstyles on my character, and generally a respec is pretty cheap and easy even at 80.

Now, just think how much easier this would be if you could save builds!

Please, please, please, please, please.
