Guild Wars 2

thats cuz ur transmuting on a white.

White has no rune to carry over, and cant accept a rune.
If you want a rune slot on it, you would need to transmute another exotic over it.

Then you will get the exotic stats + rune slot.

The only reason why u would want to transmute an exotic to a white, is when you want the exotic to become account bound so u can transfer it onto another character.

However u still need to transmute a exotic over it if you wanted exotic stats.

Meaning u need to use up 2 transmutation stones to transfer an item which is soul bounded to another character on the same account.

gm have stated its about 400Mb total

im stuck in the lions arch loading… >.<

client said 600megs downloaded.
I am using US version of GW2, English Language.

Anyone who’s almost got the patch finished know exactly how big it is (in MB)?

Aprox 880mb / 436mb @ 50%

430 megs @ 60%

So under 800megs…

Probably localisation differences causing the size discrepancy.

yeah i was thinking that… like the language packs…

anyhow im about done with the patch…. 600megs exact.

Prysin.8542:

why cant they just use a torrent principle on the patch distribution?

would solve such issues in the future. The Client doubles as a “closed” bittorrent client… thus players seed players, less server overload (the first few minutes will always cause overload since noone has the full patch right away)

Cuz everyone knows people never use the simple way out and always need to over complicate things…

^ sarcasm….

+1 on this guys advice tho… a closed torrent = win

The main reason I would assume, is that numerous ISP’s these days deliberately throttle down any and all torrent traffic it detects. Some even put restrictions in place that after a set time of day and data usage you are throttled down for the rest of the day. So they have you coming and going with torrents, which kills a lot of the point of torrenting updates.

no they throttle on the ports which are common to torrents.
If its on a shared port as the game, which the launcher can, the cable company wont throttle it.

Unless u got a really bad ISP.

I used to be a die hard GS fan, however after traiting in high precision and power gear, the AXE completely wipes the floor off the GS due to triple chop.

3 hits with GS… averaging 2.5-3.2 … vs
5 hits with Axe.. all doing 2.2-3k hits in the same time interval.

so i am retracting my statement about GS having the highest dps numbers all arround.

Once u use an AXE under timewarp with normal hits, hundered blades cant even top dps. O.o

Can i express how unfair end game gets on range vs melee?
Not only that can i express how unfair it is for Axe/Axe which does more substained then GS, has 2 sigils while the GS has 1?

Can we PLEASE get an extra sigil slot for 2handed weapons?
The DPS numbers on 2h vs 1h is not enough to merit the 1handed weapons getting an extra sigil.

Can we Also PLEASE get a Parry for Melee?
In things like high lvl 50+ FOTM, did u dev’s intend us to play 100% range?
Cuz melee means 2 specials from trash mobs = DOWN on a fully tankish guardian.

In other MMO’s we have a chance to PARRY dependant on dex…
Since dex is precision, and it doesnt add to DPS other then crit chance, can you dev’s PLEASE on bended knees make Parry a value based on precision so people like me who dont like range will still have a chance against hard hitting mobs cuz of Parry?

and if u guys are worried about WvW balances… then can you please make Parry only availble for PVE?
(at the very least turn it on for high lvl FOTM’s, and purple / gold champions?)

Im 1000000000000% sure no one will whine about a warrior not having parry in WvW when you guys already gimp’d the warrior completely for WvW.

i personally have spent over 200g in the forge on rares to get dusk.
Havent gotten anything…

My friend is currently at 470g spent on the forge trying to dusk.

RNG is RNG my friend…
Meaning there is no set way.. its called a random drop.

And no there is no “factor” that helps you forge better.
Again RNG is RNG…

u get a mini pet mesmer poping out and breaking the game.

Cuz mesmers always break the game with teleports and portals…

no..

the starting FOTM backpack is not infused.

You need to infuse it to get the +5 AR.
Same with the quiver…

At your point since u already have the quiver it only makes sense for you to infuse your quiver, you would need to spend the 250ectos + extra to infuse your quiver.

It would make no sense getting a fotm backpack… 1350 relics.. then an additional 500 relics + 250 ectos to infuse it, and then transmute it….

If your trying to cheat the recipy to infuse your backpack without spending 250 ectos….
Nope… not possible…

if u want to nerf the warrior in PVE… then buff it in PVP.

otherwise leave the warrior alone.

This is why its been missed in so many updates.
Everyone who has a warrior has accepted it.
You leave the warrior at home in PVP.

If you buff all the other classes in PVE, then you need to buff the warrior in PVP.
Otherwise ITS NOT FAIR.

So leave the warrior OP in PVE, and Gimp him in PVP.

And if ur complaining about a warrior in PVP… then your obviously PVPing wrong.

Molch.2078:

Use HB for Might-Stacking and good DPS. Switch to Axe/Any. Eviscerate and Autohit with 15-10 Might. Switch to GS and repeat.

why not both?

Cuz when u got something which can 4 shot you…. there is no way ur gonna go in there with a Axe or a melee weapon.

No because if u do Nerf it to the way u like, it will become unbalanced in PVP.

The whole point HB was left as it was is due to the fact its extremely situational that it has almost no use in WvW so the term “balance, fair, equal” wouldnt be raged.

Exactly like how Eviscerate was NERF’d to oblivion to the point of being almost useless.

Cuz its very situational, cuz everyone laughs at you when u use it in WvW, its never up for discussion on being balanced.

u guys are complaining about the knockback in harpies?

:O

IF you guys want to complain… how about the fact that at lvl40 even with 30AR your DEAD at Maw.

Meh the harpies is fine as it is…
At the higher lvl fotm’s its not the knockback ur scared of, its there rapid fire which can take a tank from 100% → 20% in one volley.

Folk.2093:

thetarot.8246:

I’ve done, countless dailies. I have a bank full of infused rings. 20 shards of essence and I’ve been lucky enough to recieve ONE Fractal Skin, which was a Trident, and I accidently salvaged it. (They have no confirmation window.)

RNG is ruining my fun, entirely.

They need to add it to the merchant. I can’t progress toward a goal of getting one, where as EVERY OTHER CONTENT IN THE GAME I can.
I want an Ghastly Sword? I know exactly how many AC runs I need to do to accomplish my goal.
I want Twilight? I can grind queensdale for a year and even make some headway.
I want a Fractal Sword? Fruitlessly repeat level 28 and 38 Fractals, and pray to the RNG. Which I’ve been doing almost every day.

I’d add 40s into the mix too, if I had the laurels to buy an Ascended Amulet. (You know, that piece of gear meant for content, not actually found in the content it’s for.)

Fractals are the worst content in the game, with the worst reward system. They need to be revamped, entirely.

Want to split on buying a chicken to sacrifice to the rng with me?

if it will help zomoross over at the MF, i’ll even chip in a Dolyak.

are u aware how difficult it is for a lvl10 to get out to CoF?

i would give that player a LOT of credit for taking his guy out that far.

And i always do this for AC.
I go on my lvl80… up to last boss… swap.
A lot of people learned this is a great way to grind, and u get tears for future gear purchase on your new character. Hence killing 2 birds with one stone.

Is it an exploit?
I dont think so. Your still killing the last boss.

You can also tell people ur not happy with them swaping out if u dont like it.
They will typically go TY, and leave…
No one said u HAD to play with these guys.
Also i think its poliet to let the party know your swaping at Last Boss.
I always let my party know, and 99% of the time no one has a problem with it.
Infact 3 other guys swap with me, and the last boss becomes fun due to the fact were facing him in Green’s / Blues and its quite a challenge.

U cant do squat.

IT takes 2 to kick.
If someone agree’s you just got outvoted and your out.

IF you dont like it… put him on an ignore list, and never join there game.
Let the community know how crap the guild [XXXX] is in the community.
Get in contract with a guild officer and see if a repremand is possible.

My guild never does things like that… you typically stay with the party unless u go AFK during a boss fight, or you Lied to us in AR in fotm and we ended up resing you way too many times.

The only time i have kicked someone at the last boss is because we NEEDED a ranger with refuge to res at MAW in fotm50 cuz no one had revive orbs.

But the guy understood he was the weakest link, and as the party was, we wouldnt beat it.

But if u get kicked, there isnt ANYTHING u can do about it.
again its a for/nae rule where if someone seconds the kick your out.

So no rage can be directed at the sole member, and Anet isnt about to repremand 4 other people because 1 person was kicked to the curb.
Also u dont know which out of the 4 initiated the kick, and who seconded it.

problem we have is:
with thanks to DR, grinding in locations like CS isnt profitable anymore.

You cant grind the old style and expect to hit goals with all the updates.
Anet limited us in the amount and way we can get gold.
Precursors price keeps rising…
Anet says no inflation..

Yet inflation is when the value of money is devalued.
I see MASSIVE inflation on precursors.
I see Insane inflation on Charged Lodestones.

Anet says no inflation … O.o

Im sorry anet… yes there is no inflation on things like butter, but what do you call a precursor which typically started at 50g… costed 150g at peak member height… and now is way over 600-700g when 10-15% of the player base has quit…. (meaning we dont have number as we used to do 2-3 months in the launch of the game).

Less player base…
Higher cost of getting item.
Lower payout due to things like DR.

Do u see now why everyone is so kitten off?

Firegoth.6427:

evo.8640:

Vol.5241:

As far as I’m concerned, those who complain about precursors are people who want stuff handed to them and refuse to commit the time to get one. It also includes people who decide to gamble and then complain when things don’t go their way.

Faulty logic. I have completed Twilight, Sunrise, Predator, and Bolt. And I still think the current method of obtaining precursors is utter garbage.

I have no desire or plans to create any more even though I can currently afford to buy all the materials and precursors for at least three more.

“I support the cause! yay for precursor prices nerf!!! by the way, I’m super rich.”

I totally support the current prices, I can’t afford another 5 legendaries, since I work towards them one by one whenever I get the legendary bug again, but can easily make any legendary in less than a month if I put myself into it. With minimum effort compared to any TP tycoon out there. (OH YEAHHHHH BRAGGING FEELS GOOD)

so stop complaining everyone.
These are the current prices, don’t like it? don’t buy it!
Someone mentioned something about people with 3+ legendaries are the outside the 90% who can’t afford that much.
That’s exactly the point, we who got a goal and know how to manage our time and set fun aside and gold earning aside – deserve by all means what we work for.

You want to jerk around cursed shore and farm dungeons with your friends for legendary? well too bad, keep farming.

It is a legendary task, without an ounce of fun in it (Gift of mastery aside).
This is a serious post, so get that idea to your heads.

Keep farming for an item which keeps on inflating…

Brilliant!

Again… this maybe fair for you who has been in the game for a while.
How is it fair for jane or bob who started 2 weeks ago?

What do u think of Jane and Bob’s chances of gathering 600-700g for dusk?
Sure they can goto the MF.. Jane might get lucky, while BOB still needs to goto the TP.
But how about a system which makes it fair for both Jane Bob, and Jill (the established player) so they can get a precursor by earning it, and not getting “lucky” or being a said established player.

Nerf Hundered blades?!?!

Why its very situational as it is… and its only good for PVE unless u got a stupid mesmer setting up a portal in front of you in WvW while u unload.

i would personally miss out on dps and use banner build with range.

You could do more with banners since ur at range, and let the melee people take hits up front.

If your soloing, u can also pick up a banner and use it for speed boosts + healing.

Also Rifle/LB can not beat GS/rifle.

They synergize really well in the trait tree under 20.30.0.0.20
Most of the rifle skills are in the 30 trait, and most GS builds require you to put 30 in that area so u can swap 1 trait on the fly without retraining, to get pierce and shorter rifle cooldown.

sorry guys.. the axe cant compete against the GS due to eviscerate getting NERF’d to hell at launch.

Bring back the 20k+ eviscerate, then i’ll jump on the band wagon and say axe > gs.

Until then the GS has better dps numbers with normal hits doing anywhere from 1100-4000 on crit.
Thats PER hit…

Also u cant dismiss the whirl on the GS.
Its probably one of the most “OH SHOOT” buttons a warrior uses to get himself out of trouble.

Something Axe doesnt have.

Anyhow i am a rifle / GS build.
And i use my GS a lot in Fotm30+
And i have used the GS a lot in fotm60+

Rooted isnt bad when your a heavy and the PvE mobs sit there and take your HB.
Rooted however is terribad when ur in WvWvW and ur up against someone who knows how to move back.

So the best answer to this would be… like someone said, its very situational.
However in most cases in PvE, the GS would win.

Lastly…. i kill just about everything in cursed shore with 1HB… again something which would take quite a bit of work with an AXE to do.

the guardian is a different play style then the warrior.

Whirl on the guardian cant compete anywhere close to Hundered Blade.
Infact NO skill in this game has the same Burst Multiplier as Hundered Blade.
Its truely an over OP skill the warrior has.

IF u like playing support, tankish, the guardian can fill for a warrior.
But you will start crying when you realize nothing comes close to a 22-43k hundered blade in the guardian’s skill.

If you want another alt, roll another warrior from a different race.
:P
Thats what a few of my friends did, as they also agree, nothing beats a warrior when it comes to any PvE role one might need.

Im even thinking of making a range warrior, so i dont need to retrait.
Range / Banners is a completely different play style then CoF/Fotm farming DPS role.

It’s still 200 clicks, cause after ‘buy’ you have to click ‘ok’

LOL, I didn’t thought about the confirm for high price items, my fault :P

Would still be less clicks, since for double clicking it would 300, but for the buy button it would only be 200

yeah but if u factor the mouse dragging requirement for pressing buy vs double click and then click one more…

double click wins!

of course your asking to get sore fingers afterwards.

u start seeing the yellows from the karma at the master.
You need to buy the yellow recipes.

The exotics recipies are also sold at the master for karma.

Now is it profitable?
That totally depends on the price of Ecto and Ori @ the time of craft.
Considering how expensive ectos are, and have been… possible no.

Your cheapest route at exotics is though dungeons by the usage of dungeon tokens.
I have grinded 2 characters though AC, swapping to the lowbie at the last boss for the exp bonus.

By the time those characters got to lvl80, i had well over 2k AC tears, to buy exotics from.

@ lvl80, (wham) full exotics from day 1…. and it only required me to grind lvling a smart way without spending any gold.

i heard any sword can be rewarded by zomoross…
the MF was entirely RNG.

Are you sure there are exceptions?

Ive gotten quite a bit of named exotics from him, but no precursor… :\

Thats just the thing.

The cost is going higher and higher.
That makes only the established players who been grinding near the start able to afford one now.

That means all the new people who join will probably never see one, because the established player base even has difficulties getting one.
And the requirements keep going up.
So when will the requirements flatline? the prices of everything flat line?
You know when? When we lost more then half the existing player base because they give up on getting said precursor to grind for legendary.

As i was stating, a precursor should be something u grind for.
Make them cost 5 gifts from ALL the dungeon vendors combined.
Or an outstanding 10,000 Fotm relics even.

Not make them 100% RNG, and then have people suffer horribly at the TP after realizing Zomoros will never grant you blessing of crafting one.

Also Good luck to ya on your sunrise.
Id hate to be in your shoes.
Charged Lodestones is another PEEVE of mine in this game.
But i’ll take that to another thread.

I’m not saying anyone is “entitled” to have a pre, there are simply those who got one and those who didn’t. If you don’t like the group you are in, do something about it.

I think that people are investing their time on the forum as part of the democratic process to influence Arenanet to change the game-mechanics. I understand that some people aren’t aware of it in this context, but this is the, “doing something about it”, that you refer to.

So, because you think the prices are too high and gambling the forge is too low a chance, it should be changed? I understand the why but have you thought about the fact that NOT EVERYONE WAS SUPPOSED TO GET ONE. It seems to me that many people are under the impression I am wrong in this.

Well speaking as someone who has one.
Twilight…

I can tell you my quest / work to getting said legendary was nothing legendary.
I think precursors should be more something you work for more so then something u give up gambling RNG for and then eventually have to fight inflation on the price of said precursor at the TP.

I can tell you right now.. if i had to get my materials NOW and not 3 weeks ago, i dont think i could of afforded my twilight.

Infact a lot of my friends who had twilight back in december even tell me, if they had to pay what i paid for my twilight, they wouldn’t be able to afford it now.
Lemme One up that comment and say, my other friend paid LESS for twilight + Sunrise, then what i did for JUST TWILIGHT.

So is this truly fair?
The ever so grind to get a said legendary continually rises so new adopters can only dream and droll over a guy who happens to pass by them with several precursors only because that guy was lucky to adopt them early.

Now how fair is that?
Continuously raising the requirements of getting a legendary.
(again Anet’s response.. its player based / controlled…)
Well Why are legendaries even Player Based / Controlled to begin with?

So please go take your legendary elitism elsewhere.
Most of the later legendary adopters will even agree with me on how much of a pain it was to get a legendary NOW then it was back in november / december.

The system right now IS TOTALLY NOT BALANCED for the new people, and only makes them want to quit.
Instead a legendary should make them want to stay and grind.

But when one spends gods knows how much gold at the MF, and then finally gives up.. heads to the Trade posts… OMGWTFBBQ 600-700g for just dusk.

Again… tell me how fair that is?

CassieGold.7460:

Naekuh.7925:

what will kitten u off more is i bet most of the precursors on sale are all owned by the same person / company, and its them controling the price.

Anet cant stop person A with a lot of gold snatching all the precursors at buy order.
Anet cant stop that person A reposted precursor at sell price much higher.

This is whats happening right now.. Person A has all the precursors, and Person A is also buying all the precursors to control the market.

Anet should do something about person A, but wont because each time Person A buys a precrusor at buy, the seller pays 50-60g, and each time he sells a precursor he pays the TP fee’s 60-70g, so a max assumed 130g is burned each time someone flips a precursor.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/bltc/to-the-both-man-who-sells-SPARK-on-black-lion/first#post1387575

John Smith has debunked this kind of statement, also here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/bltc/Pile-of-Crystalline-Dust/first#post1382211 demonstrates that the number of precursors traded and the amount that cycle is greater than most observers track.

They are different accounts.
But how is john smith to know they are NOT owned by the same people.

And these people wont say that they own multi accounts incase one gets ban’d.

If john can confirm they are not from the same IP.
I’ll buy it. Otherwise its a same person / company sitting in front of the same PC flipping though accounts.

And even then its possible to have 2 IP’s in the same house.
I have it… One is my business DSL line which is setup for VPN, and the other is the recreational cable line which i use for general play stuff.

+1 can we make the icey’s more expensive and require less quantity?

who decided to make us click buy and then OK 100 times?

If you did it so the people can do it slowly, can u make it 10g each and have us buy 10x?

100x clicking is no joke…. i have done it… i wouldn’t want anyone else to sit there like i did.

(well i lie, i would want all of u guys to really suffer but thats my S side speaking out.)

10g @ miyabi…

u really start hating her after a while because not only does she eat your gold in 2 recipies, but also you’ll be her sugarmomma/daddy in skill points even after u get your legendary.

u cant make money off cooking.

The only real value is the food u can make directly, and farm half of the ingrediants.
And even then some are very limited.

Omnoberry bars is probably the hottest cooking item… however u can get 1 for 3silver.
Omnoberry bar if u cook u get 2 bars…

The raw materials to make it tho, will cost more then the bar itself, which is why people typically farm the omno, and buy the vanilla.

However id say you could make some decient play money if u did farm both the omno’s and vanilla. But you’ll probably make more if u sold them direct instead of making omnoberry bars and flipping it that way.

what will kitten u off more is i bet most of the precursors on sale are all owned by the same person / company, and its them controling the price.

Anet cant stop person A with a lot of gold snatching all the precursors at buy order.
Anet cant stop that person A reposted precursor at sell price much higher.

i heard cantha is cann’d

which means samurai + asian theme in general.

I was super sad to realize im never gonna get my masamune… :\

Id say the closest is probably the medium crafted exotic armor.
But its ugly as hell.

So, what i want you to post:

1. Which legendary are you going for?
2. Do you have any gifts? If so, which one?
3. Which gift are you working on? And how far have you come on it?
4. Addition information you want us to know, maybe a picture.

1. Twilight.
2. Completed.
3. None… i completed it already
4. Didnt take one.

I dont like the mechanics of getting a legendary after getting one.
I had to think real hard.

i would like to say 85% of the mats i required i had to play Trade Post Wars, trying to uppercut the highest buy offer to keep the cost of mats low.
And it seems we have some mean and nasty sharks on the TP, or automated bots which instantly outbid you 24 hours a day… and no im not kidding.

I feel sorry for those of u guys still working on it.
I will quote what a previous legendary owner told me.
Each day that goes by, if ur after something like dusk or dawn, the price on just the precursor will go up, so waiting can hurt you.
Each day that goes by, lodestone prices will jump up.
Each day that goes by, T6 mats go up.

Each day that goes by, means ur gonna end up spending an additional 5% on the overall price tag.

My twilight costed me roughtly 790g to make two weeks ago.
My friends twilight who got it back in december costed him 215g.

Get your legendary fast… or dont get them at all til they drop in price.
My 2 cents…

After that experience i am not going for another legendary…. If i do, it will probably be something which isnt in high demand, or whatever precursor happens to fall into my lap.

Anyhow enjoy your grind… one which you will quickly realize its not actual game play but trade post camping.

To me each legendary owner means only 2 things.
1. You bought it.
2. You learned to milk the trade post.

There is no other way to get a legendary. I am in the #2 group as well as 90% of all the other legendary owners.

“For great justice” !!

even tho its a gaurdian using a shout… they still yell “For Great Justice!”

On the listening end..

Halanna.3927:

Naekuh.7925:

The holy trinity held players together.

No, it most certainly did not.

1. We need a healer.
2. No healers online?
1. Nope.
2 Well, Mr A. you’re gonna have to log your healer.
3. Yeah, but I wanted to play X character
1. We need a healer.
3. Can’t we find some random?
2. I’m not playing with some scrub.
1. Just log your healer.
3. ……………….

Yeah, players really have fun and they are really held together by being forced into certain roles.

OH really?

It sounds like a typical day for me.

1. Bring your gaurdian.. we need a heavy + support.
2. I want to bring my warrior… i want to do dps.
3. No bring your gaurdian….
4. What about my Necro? she can heal and has pets, we can just pug a gaurdian.
5. No i dont trust pug gaurdians who dont heal nor share virtues.. can u please bring out your gaurdian.
5. But but but im tired of gaurdian.
6. Please~ We are gonna fail without your AH Hammer guardian.
7. logging onto gaurdian

So how does your example differ from mine?
Im still asked to bring out something i dont like to play because its the closest thing we got to something which the game said didnt exist.

So instead of a real / true healer… i got something which tries to heal, does an OK job, but wasnt expected to be a true healer.

Some of us like playing healer… because well healer is expected NOT to do DPS.
However YES some classes can be a dedicated healer, but i dont know if u guys ever did dungeons being the only heavy….

Its brutal… and u really wish there was a dedicated healer… or a dedicated tank for that matter.

And nothing in this game can tank like a typical MMO tank.
In the later later end games, there are many things which can 2-3 shot even the most buffest of AH guardians.

im torn between jormags and firebringer at this point.

I need a luminating 1h sword, hence why these two are in my primary since i was not in GW1 hence no FDS.

You know i think they kinda killed the aspect of playing with people by removing the trinity.

There is no cordination.
Your basically doing your own thing, while other people do there own thing, and sometimes, someone is kind enough to do support.

But this is not all the time.

The holy trinity held players together.
Why? cuz u needed class X to play with class Y to compliment class Z.
This means Class X can not do half things Y and Z can do in a horrible mess which makes you scream, do you know how to build a character right?

I really do wish the trinity system was reimplimented in this game.
It would give more reasons for people to play together and not drift off in there own world and solo 75% of the hours in this game.

This!!

Let us have a guild dungeon which requires serveral teams.
(yes i know you guys wanted to avoid the large groups, but we want something massive, hence the name Massive Multiplayer Online.)

Make the dungeon harder as more teams enter to clear.

Let us use our commander icon’s in PVE so we can cordinate in PvE.
Give us more things to do in PvE, cuz we can only take so much PvP before we end up back in lions arch and AFK the rest of the day from boredom.

i have to agree… being allowed to swap elites isnt fixing the problem.

The fact is most elite skills are worthless hence u want to swap them out to something else.

Fix the Elites…

At least give us shorter cooldowns in PvE.
You wont hear people rant of balance issues in PvE.

Can we please get different roles?

I wouldnt even mind paying 100g to unlock the different roles like a commander icon.

Something where can have 2 sets of traits and swap when out of combat without having to goto a retrainer and retrain.

…

Account bound yes… not bounded entirely no.
I dont find it fair or right that just cuz someone has better friends, or a wife, or a significant other that plays the game will exclude you from doing the basic things to attain a legendary.

If your complaining about crafting the gifts for the legendary, well my friend, be prepared to CRY and RANT and SCREAM when u have to face the all mighty RNG at the mystic toilet for your precursor because u cant afford the 400+g price tag on it.

Meaning lvling weapon and jewel wont even dent your wallet, compared to the many attempts you are gonna make at getting 2 precursors.

I think the lodestones should be dungeon vendor items.

We used to farm the dungeons for them anyhow.

CoE was primary for Charged.
CoF was primary for Molten.
HoTW can drop Glacial
Arah can drop Onyx.

However i dont think u should make them that cheap at 10 tokens per lode.

Also by removing the high priced lodes, which people are paying for, would mean u ate up a very large money sink in the economy.

You cant stack the game only on one side because you think its not working for you.
The high priced lodes are being sold.
At 4g each, 15% of that is being destroyed at purchase to hold inflation.
10% just to list it.

Removing high priced items would hurt us more in the long run by having more gold in circulation.

So i feel BOTH options should be available… the natural drop + the option to buy at like 30-75 dungeon tokens each. If you want to grind the many many hours in 1 dungeon, go ahead and give people that route.

While the others who would rather grind for gold in dungeon speed runs get gold and go that route as well.

i realized after i would karma farm in CS, my loot drop would reduce.

At first i thought it was because i wasnt doing enough dps to get credit, but i saw all the bubbles were coming to me.

I think there is a DR implimentation on mob kills.
After u kill a X amt, im guessing somewhere in 100-150, your loot gets half’d.
And then again half’d until u get very little loot.

I usually swap character to another 80 and proceed that way, until DR hits again, or i feel DR has hit.

But yeah, i am also guessing some form of DR was implemented on mob kills.

have u done fotms?

if your like me, and u do the daily, and have been, instead of asking Anet can you let us craft ascended rings, you will ask them, Can we please SALVAGE all our junk rings we been collecting.

Ascended rings isnt hard to collect.
I bet you be constant in fotm, and within 1 months of time, you’ll need another bank slot to store all your junk rings in hopes Anet will allow us to do something with junk rings.

I must apologize for the tone of my post- too many bugs in last nights session- ended up on the forums, and so my annoyance showed.
HAVING a legendary DOES show your prowess. . .that youve got 100% map completion, done x dungeon y times for the tokens, and got lots of karma and skill points, and badges.
The mats can be bought so in my eyes are not a signs of prowess ( granted they cost lots/ take time to farm)
BUT i am sure there are people in the game that have EVERYTHING except the precursor, and because of this do not have a legendary, so they cannot show their prowess to the world because they did not have a RANDOM precursor drop.
The only thing that should be random is the clovers
EVEN putting 4 unique weapons in the forge does not guarantee a precursor
HOW DIFFICULT WOULD IT BE TO ADD A FEW RECIPES TO THE FORGE?
4 FIREBRINGERS= 1 ZAP

EDIT: so there’s 20 known precursors so add 20 recipes to the forge- surely its not that difficult/complicated????

dumb idea to have a set mystic forge recipe for a precursor if you understand economics you would understand why and plus why would they want to do something like that when they want there legendaries to be hard to obtain and one fo the hard part is in fact getting the precursor. Kinda wish ppl would stop making threads about this or merge all the kittening and complaints into one.

sure legendaries should be hard to obtain. . . Have you seen the mats needed to make 4 firebringers?. . .(mystic forge – no recipe needed) . . . .4 eldritch scrolls (200 skill points) 120 mystic coins 1000 ori sword blades and 200 molten lodestone. .
I really dont understand what economics has to do with this. . . . this is a mmorg game that rewards players for hard work and time spent on the game. . . . . SO a precursor SHOULD NOT BE A RANDOM DROP (and especially not for the people that ONLY played on the free weekend.) . . . HOW is that HARD to obtain? – It’s CALLED LUCK

While i do agree with you on most points i find 1 flaw.
Doing it this way, would skyrocket the price of Ori… Skyrocket the price of molten lodestones, and also skyrocket the price of mystic coins because the handful who control the TP, will monopolize on it still.

:P

you shifted our problem from expensive precursor, to expensive premats for precursor.

i camp’d the TP.

I would buy in buy orders for QTY:10-15 no more.. cuz someone would always outbid me on buy orders.

QTY10-15 made sure most of it was filled b4 someone out bidded me.

Then i would out bid him again QTY:10-15.

This route is very time consuming, but ended up saving me a lot of gold, cuz i didnt have to use the buy now prices.

Dont convert…
The only way its profitable was if the T6 mats were 4x+ more expensive.
Which they arent if you look at prices..

Dont start stocking on t6 mats until you collected your clovers, if your going after legendary.

A Failed clover craft can result in T6 Mats.

well i would like to tell you guys of my precursor fail.

I have spent well over 200g on exotics and rares in the mystic toliet.
After that i just gave up. 200g was a LOT of farming i did. A lot of TP rare selling.

At one point i gave up crafting stuff to throw in the toliet and decided to just sell the rares on the TP. I primary flipped carrion krait GS’s cuz they had the highest profit margin. I am assuming people like me who bought 50-100 at one time to throw in the toliet to hope for precursor.

After another tiring grind, i finally managed to save up 470g to just put a buy order on it.
But guess what?
the moment i did, it seemed the avilability of dusk went from 4 ->11 then all of a sudden went from 475g BUY NOW -> 625g at peak.

I ended up crying… i had no where enough gold to finish twilight…
My friends finally caved in and all lent the last bit of required gold to purchase dusk for 590g.

My total expensive on Dusk alone… well over 790g just for the stupid precursor.

And now i still cant finish it cuz balthazzar’s temple is glitched, and i cant get the last required shards to finish twilight… :\

Id like Anet to tell me they really expect 5% of the population to farm that much, cuz i personally think i was NUTS to farm that much gold.

Jormag Ice zone.

during the event vet ice mobs spawn.
Good time to farm lodestones if u focus on the vet’s and not jormag entirely.

BTW this area was botted til Anet killed the bots, hence why the prices were low.

In honesty, the price of glacial as it is now, your best buying it now instead of farming it, b4 it goes up insane like charged does.
