Ive never seen the game randomly make you reset your password, something doesn’t seem right there, I know support makes you reset your password when you ask them to change any details on the account, ( email etc ) but for the game to make you do it randomly.

I would wait and see what support comes back with.

Could your friend have taken any screen shots of a guild list or pvp etc that might show a char name?

Can you please stop the nightcapping?

Are we talking about EU servers?

Why not come to T1 NA servers where the game is balanced in the sense that all servers have the same or similar pops at night.

So ditch your eu servers and come on down!

Yes they are, Baruch Bay is also the number 1 server on EU so this probably explains why they have more coverage,

Also unless something MASSIVE changed on T1 NA I wouldn’t recommend anyone go anywhere near it, it will ruin your WvW experience, (not that given the current state of WvW it could get any worse) but when I was there I pretty much watched 1 commander destroy a community, it was a relief to leave T1 and away from that drama.

Accidentally delete gem store items

Support are the only people who can help you with this,

Maybe they should make it that when deleting a character that has gem store items it should pop a warning up stating so, before you enter the char name.

Just drop support a message, and they will fix it, I had the exact same problem, and they just had me delete the item, and they sent me an account bound version in game once they verified the deletion, just follow the instructions they send you,

It only took about 20-30mins to fix it.

Many people left because of HoT?

People have been saying this game is dying or will be dead since a couple of months after launch, which is 3 years ago. It’s not even close to being in trouble.

It may have lost players, but it’s also gained players.

Can you please link the topic/page where Anet have posted there state of the game recently, (not a 3rd party site, but Anet themselves) to back up your comment about it not even being close to being in trouble, id also love a link where they say how many players they have gained vs lost.

Thanks

@OP, people aren’t leaving because of HoT they are leaving because there preferred game content is being slaughtered one way or the other,

WvW = dead, will probably be buried this year at some point

sPvP = relentless push for eSports, and massively overpowered builds for certain classes, making it boring for some, balance team cannot get it right, do not seem to follow feedback

PvE ( breaks down into many forms )
Dungeons – nerfed into the ground, should probably be removed at some point if nothing is done,

Fractals – got updated but no incentive to run higher levels, just a time sink for little reward, again doesn’t seem to be any info on whats happening going forward,

Raids – really only caters for a very small group of players,

General PvE, some say its to hard, some say its not hard enough, both groups affected the same, the content becomes boring to them, thus they move on, new HoT maps are generally only ok for the first few times you run threw them, then you have no reason to go back unless its to grind for legendary.

Communication – nuff said, I personally feel that what the players want, vs what anet wants, are completely different at this point in time, and unless that balance can be meet in the middle somewhere, it will get worse, which is a shame, as GW2 has some of the best GFX ive seen in a game, and some very talented developers, and ive supported Anet for 11 years now since GW1 launch, so yea its sad to see things going the way they are going.

Geforce own recommendations for max. settings

Ok I Did It.2854

I don’t know where that site gets it stats from, I looked at it, I use a Samsung 27" @ 1440p and I use an old 680GTX, and it runs this game on high settings across the board without any issues, yet the site told me I needed a 960GTX or a 780Ti card.

Also what the site is saying maybe true, the card it recommends may indeed run GW2 at your res at high setting no problem, but GW2 also requires stupid amounts of CPU power, this has been shown time and time again, that you can have a powerful GPU but if your CPU is behind, the performance of the game will suffer, no matter how strong your GPU is.

Anet has moved on from WvW

Ok I Did It.2854

Different teams working on different stuff. Anet isn’t one guy who’s only capable of working with one thing at a time.

I thought the Dev who lead WvW left, and did his replacement not leave also?

Anet should have just bit the bullet a year ago and said we cannot make WvW work, as your vision ( the players ) is not the same as our vision ( Anet ) and at that point they should have pulled the plug, instead of letting it slowly bleed to death in the way they are currently doing,

When I can spend an hour on a Boarderland map and not see a single enemy player, there are problems,

Anet should just reroute whatever resources are left for WvW into something that can actually be made useful, as another year of WvW in this state, with broken fixes, ignored problems, they wont have to worry about it anymore, but it could do more damage letting it die slowly than killing it fast.

[DISCUSSION] why do player complain nightcap?

in WvW

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

Nightcapping ruins fighting morale for the rest of the servers and makes people shun WvW altogether, when people turn away from something due to nightcapping (Which is a fact, like it or not) then yes, it does become a problem.

Night capping is not what is putting people off WvW.

Anet will not change this, as they have no way to make it fair, WvW numbers are already at an all time low, if they exclude 1 or 2 groups of people from playing, then they lose even more numbers, but lets say for arguments sake they did stop night capping, the group of players who are currently QQing about the night capping, will then CAP everything within a few hours of reset, and hold it all week, they will then be back on the forums QQing that Anet need to fix WvW as no one is recapping and there is no one to fight against,

Its a Global based game, and like it or not, it would be suicide for Anet to block out 1 or 2 timezones to make a few other players happy,

According to this (give it time to load)

https://www.gw2bltc.com/en/item/29185-Dusk

To craft Dusk it will cost you 647gold, that’s if you have to buy everything, as you can farm a good part of it, it should cost less, to buy the Dusk it costs 1000g+, you save a substantial amount of gold crafting,

Like I said, not all Pre’s are cheaper to craft, but some have massive savings.

Ok I Did It.2854

I get this too, only for me when I went to Exit the game just froze, I had to use task manager to kill it, and then on restart of the game it asked me to repair the game,

I find this error occurs every now and then after a certain patch, after I repair the game, it runs again as normal, and logs out fine, getting the game to repair was the problem, the repair client would crash after about 20% so never would complete, I actually had to repair it, open the task manager and leave the computer alone for it to complete, since then no issues.

I also run the game on an SSD and run the x64 client.

I run an i7/NVidia setup, so it seems that hardware is not the issue here.

Ok I Did It.2854

This really depends on what Legendary you are going for, if its one of the old ones, then only a few are worth crafting, as it still remains cheaper to craft that to buy them, if its a new Legendary then you have no choice in the matter,

The costs of making the Pre’s are higher at the moment for a few reasons

1, A lot of people are pushing for a new Legendary / Old Legendary, so its pushing costs prices up
2, People are trying to make Ascended Weapons for higher Fractals and or Raids, these also need the Mats that the Pre crafting needs
3, People are making Ascended Armor for Raids, which again also uses the same mats as Pre’s

The excessive push for these items is keeping the costs of Pre crafting higher than normal,

https://www.gw2bltc.com/

Gives you the cost break down of Legendarys

All in all to craft the newer Legendary from start to finish, it about the same as what it costs to buy a Legendary outright, it just seems more because a few stages of crafting need a lot of a certain T7 mat which makes it seem crazy priced.

http://gw2legends.net/

Is also a good website for older Legendarys

I crafted Nevermore, and ill be honest, if I was a newer player I would have given up at the start, Stage 1 required 35 Spiritwood Planks, which is crazy.

Nevermore Collection

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

Hey there, I’m stuck at collection IV:

I need to kill siegemaster lormar. I parked a charakter there and logged it in very often, the event never appears. The meta always stands at “the phantom leaders have dispersed…”

Does someone of you know if the meta (The Battle for Ascalon City) has a special time to start and if it is so, how often does it start?

This event comes up very fast, and can be over before you know it if you are not right on it when it starts,

I stood at the Ascalon City WP, when the event spawns you will see the ghost siege spawn, the problem here is that if no one goes to kill the spawn points it wont spawn Boss, when I did it, I was the only 1 killing the Siege and when I got around them all and back to the final 1, a bunch of players who didn’t help where already killing boss, and I just got a tag and no more on it, if I had been 10 seconds later, I wouldn’t have got the kill or reward,

Its an event that is very unforgiving if no one else does pre, and the leechers just wait for boss.

I purchased the Infinite Continue Coin expecting SAB to be around for a while, or at least more frequent… just to never be able to use it.

If it’s never coming back can I get a gems refund for it?

Most people who have asked for a refund, have been told NO, as SAB might come back 1 day, therefore they will not issue a refund.

Its not coming back, its been the same excuse for years now, gliding shouldn’t affect it, as it should be turned off in SAB, what other possible things could have changed, if you bought the Inf Coin you pretty much lost out, it was shady marketing tactics, if Anet has said when the launched the Inf Coin that, when you buy this, we will be turning SAB off for good, im fairly sure that no one would have bought it,

So please just announce that SAB isn’t coming back, so that we don’t keep asking for it, and allow us to trade the Coin in for something of equal value,

I would hate to think this topic needs moved to reddit to get a real reply.

The CC bar seems impossible on a pug map, did you not learn anything from like every event since Dry Top, that events that require other people to do the same thing leads to trolls,

That aside, you need to fix the camera’s at this event esp after using the jump pad, I usually play zoomed all the way out, so I can see my toon and a good bit around it, but you hit that jump pad and the camera is suddenly up close and personal, I zoom out again real quick, fly about, but you cannot see anything, you just spam them 1 and 2 skill and hope it hits something, the ceiling height in this zone needs raised, so the camera can look right down from above, like it does in the new HoT maps.

I heard the loot got revamped for this event, the 2 rares from the end chest are meh, I could spend less time farming nodes and make more money, the only thing the event does do right, is, the other enemies DO drop loot, which was a nice touch, ( just waiting for that nerf ), I don’t think this event will make it into the rounds like Teq and TT does, I think that when most ppl get there AP’s from this event they will avoid it.

If this game doesn’t change, ( Expansions or massive updates) the only people playing it in 3 years would be the ultra hardcore who cannot admit there game is done, the game at the moment is far from dead, but its suffering badly, the only people who cant/don’t want to admit that are the ones who will still be there in 3 years wondering where everyone is,

There could be 1000 posts a day from people saying they are coming back, but there are also 1000 people leaving who don’t post, and as its already been touted several times over the years that the forums does not give an accurate reflection on the community numbers its hard to tell, Anet would not post if they are losing more than they are gaining, that would be crazy,

You don’t think its dire because apparently you are in 1 of the only guilds in the entire game that has 100% active players who love to log in, and you never seem to lose anyone, or notice anyone leaving, and everytime someone mentions that they have seen friends leave the game, and guilds fall apart and players quit, there you are shouting how your guild is super active and the player must need a new guild.

The only reason it seems more busy now is because of mega server, if you where to revert that change today, you would see a true result of the declining numbers,

The point about buying it is still moot, its been discussed to death before hot came out, I bought HoT, as did my friends, I enjoyed it for the most part, ( even though I still have finished the story due to the glitches in story 4 MONTHS after launch ) but the new maps do not have replay ability, unless you are pushing for multiple legendary’s then you are forced to play it,

As someone who played a lot of WvW, on both NA and EU servers, I can tell you its a dead format, if you cannot get into EB you might aswell not bother, they have well and truly hammered that nail into that coffin and buried it twice over, there stubbornness with pushing ahead with what they wanted and not listening to what the community needed, finished that format off, I spent an hour in the BL 2 days ago and never seen a single other play, be it from my team or an enemy team.

I cannot comment on PvP as I don’t enjoy the bunkerwars format of the gametype.

We are on very opposite sides of this community, im on the side of ive played GW1 since launch and GW2 since beta launch, and have watched the game slowly decline, and watching it slowly die off, You are from the side that can see no wrong and love everything about the game, and feel that everyone who doesn’t see it the same way as you is wrong.

PS: FYI, ive played plenty of dying to dead games in my past, your not the only gamer on these forums.

Also, I find it highly unlikely it’ll take 3 years for the next expansion.

This is the only time ill ever agree with you, it wont take 3 years, because they wont have any players left in 3 years, if the game remains in its current state,

Also why is the price point still an issue, HoT has been out for what 4 months now, im pretty sure those who said they wouldn’t buy it have moved on, and everyone else is still playing.

Achievement Points Cap

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

More or less, I think the cap a good idea to allow people to catch up. It the cap can keep going, no one can catch up, but it also has to do with the achievement chests I bet too.

NO NO and NO,

Caps are not good, Caps are put in place because players who are either new, or causal come QQing on the forums that people who have played the game since the start are so ahead, and how unfair it is that they cant catch up,

If you play the game a 4 hours a week, why should you catch up with someone who plays 20 hours a week, I don’t play PVP, but I don’t want PVP rewards moved to PvE so I can get them, its crazy Anet thinks Caps are good.

Anet needs to revise that CAP, or better yet remove it completely, me and some of my friends use the AP’s as a fun way to push each other on when playing, when I hit the cap for dailies, im done with the game, I wont play a game where im capped, because of someone who only wants to play 3 hours a week, cant catch me.

Again CAPs are not good for a game like this.

According to Anets other forums a Dev replied saying, that should not have made it into the patch notes, it is a future update they are working on.

Why did they hammer Mesmer in PvE, the PvP maybe needed it, Ele totally needed toned down in PvP, but im getting kind of miffed at them balancing PvE around PvP,

I would have figured they would have gotten away from balancing the game around 1 format, the Mesmer in PvE is not really worth taking now, seriously stop pushing people out of your game, separate PvE and PvP skills, so that we don’t get nerfed/buffed because of 1 game format.

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

So yea, 1 update and no fractals above lvl 50 in the LFG tool,

They patched this “safe” spot but failed to fix the problem with high level fractals, there is a reason why people did what they did, because the other levels are boring, long drawn out battles for no rewards, this is why they ran the Mossman over and over and for dailies,

This is the core problem with Anet they never look at the bigger picture, in 1 update you pretty much killed off all LFG 50+ there are currently none for 51-75 or 76-100 good game.

So much for wanting to push forward with fractals and raids, both are failing now.

Mossman at lvl 83 will kill you in 2 hits, the instabilities punish you for having to play the game a certain way to avoid death, totally stupid, so like most fractals will be dead now, not because I cant run them, because I cant get a team to run them now.

They need to massively rethink them instabilities now, before fractals goes the way of WvW and dies off with lack of interest.

I really enjoy fractals, but I cant enjoy content without a party.

Refund Policy

Ok I Did It.2854

So, someone asked on reddit about how the refund policy works for items bought with gems, as they where refused a refund on a copper fed salvage o matic,

The reply from the dev was its roughly 30 days, but they don’t hold you exactly to that etc,

But the reply the OP got on the topic was that they have had fair use of the item, and a refund would not be issued,

How do they define fair usage, sure I bought a copper fed salvage o matic when they came out and have used it 10,000s+ im sure, so ive had fair usage, but what about that Infinite Continue Coin, I got to use that about 20 times and haven’t been able to use it again since, surely that cannot be deemed as fair usage……

Did anyone successfully get a refund on the coin, seeing as you could only use it for like 2 weeks, and we wont beable to use it again?

Shared Inventory Slot Feedback [merged]

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

This update was not aimed for meant for anyone who has played longer than 6 months, its 100% aimed at new players,

Older players already probably have more than 1 set of copper fed and silver fed kits, along with more than 1 set of the axe/pick/scythe in which case this update is completely useless to us,

However if you are a newer player whom does not have these things yet your laughing, you can get the shared slots, buy each of the other items and share them across your account, without losing all the extra gems from buying more than 1 set etc.

Don’t get me wrong its nice they put it in, but it was asked for 2 1/2 years ago when the rest of us could have used it, and taken full advantage of it, lesson learned though, no more gems for me.

The refund policy they put out also according to reddit seems to be within 30 days, anything over that and you’ve had fair use on the item.

DS:Noxious Pods vs Others

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

I think the idea was worded wrong,

What it should be is this

VB – Airship Cargo – should always contain at least 1, Bottle of Airship Oil
AB – Exalted Chest(all versions) – should always contain at least 1, Pile of Auric Dust
TD – Crystallized Supply Cache – should always contain at least 1, Ley Line Spark
DS – Noxious Pods – should always contain at least any 1 of the above

These items are needed for legendarys, you already have to grind the events for the items needed to buy the Crowbars, Keys, Acid, Machete ( Machete needing more than 1 item to buy )

You can also grind events for the items but its much slower, the point is there is already to much RnG, (which is 1 of the biggest complained about things in the game due it being broken)

When I made Nevermore, I would say I easily opened 400-500 of each, cache, cargo, pod and chests, trying to get the 250 of each, on top of the already 800 of each item I needed for gifts, this is not how you get replay ability, if anything it burned me out so badly, that I haven’t been back into the HoT maps since making the Legendary.

lol when this gets patched, no one will bother with the fractal anymore, some dedicated will, but as most people couldn’t tank moss man at that level you will see maybe 1 or 2 parties, and they will take awhile to fill, this is about balance and Anet have to see the problem,

Moss Man, and the Vet Wolves hit hard at higher levels, so hard they could down you in 1 or 2 hits, oh but wait I can dodge the attack, WHAM I just lost all boons that where protecting me, and now here comes a random condition followed by oh look im dead.

People will always find the fastest, easiest way to do content, and the current way is the fastest and easiest, that should tell Anet that something is wrong, and people are not enjoying the level so are using a work around to beat it……

Fractals- Best content Anet ever created

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

GW2 SHOULD focus on raids cause its the best content in pve. old random fractal system was way better, now ppl do only 56 67 77 and old dungeon rewards should be back

This here is a problem, the highest level ive been able to get a party for is level 83,

The rewards are indeed not there at higher levels, infact ive seen better rewards at lvl 5 than lvl 83 ( excluding the relics )

This is something that should have been addressed from the get go, its typical of Anet though, they will happily come in with the nerf bat and hammer the fractals that people run all the time, instead of making it more attractive to run higher levels.

I can see fractals going the same way as dungeons this year, I know Anet say they want to move forward with fractals and raids, but I don’t see it happening, improving rewards goes against everything they have done over the last 3 years, nerfing/removing rewards is more the style,

So enjoy what you get at the moment, as its almost certain that an update this year will lower the rewards to make it less attractive to run certain fractals.

The only part that is good right now is the 1 level per fractal, I do enjoy this aspect, as I did not enjoy running fractals for an hour only for my team not to have the skill to beat a certain fractal, and I am not a fan of kicking people from the party, at least now I can leave and ive only lost 10 mins of my time vs the hour.

KDB Daewoo: sales warning for HoT

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

Because the hype train got massively derailed, no matter what anyone says the lack of WvW and the push for Esports hurt players who play these formats, PvE was 4 maps.

I personally enjoy HoT, but it was not an expansion, it was paid for DLC, but from reading the blog posts from Anet, it seems they are working on a new expansion, so maybe we will see a full expansion this time.

Also what is hurting is really replay ability on the new maps, I made Nevermore at the weekend and honestly I have no incentive to go back to the HoT maps anymore, ive completed them all 100times over, newer players reading these forums or reading in game, who haven’t bought HoT are really seeing no reason too.

Seller beware? Avoid the TP?

Ok I Did It.2854

I can’t help but think that we have not got the whole story here.

The entire story is on the reddit, OP made the slivers months ago, put them on TP and forgot about it, some random person bought like 300G from RMT, bought all of them from TP, then Anet contacted OP that 300G worth of that sell was from RMT and they removed it,

It was confirmed by a dev on that topic that the OP was not at fault in any way,

The problem arose when you have 2 or 3 different devs working on something, support remove the gold, another dev monitors market trades, another fixes the problem, this is just a great example of communication break down.

The only sad part it which has been mentioned is that, if it had not went to Reddit ( which is the new GW2 PR zone ) the OP probably would not have gotten there stuff back, and it would have been swept under the carpet and forgotten about.

Support are normally very good, but like I said it looks like a massive break down in communication between teams on that case.

Ok I Did It.2854

It’s not that guardians are bad. It’s that better options exist. and why not take the best? If you doing through being a PUG then you should expect to bring your best because that’s what they want.

Because everyone should (if it is possible) to play for his or her chosen toon. I’m a guardian since pre-release beta. I have all 8 other professions too, but non of them is as much fun as guardian for me. I would loved to meet more like-minded people like me, who don’t care if the boss gets killed in 6 minutes or 7. People who prefer fun and quality to pressure and number counting.

I totally see what your saying, sadly the raids where only made with a very small % of people in mind, it was exactly the same with dungeons, if you where going to pug it you had to run xyz class with xyz skills and have xx AP’s or don’t bother, Raids are the exact same unless you are running them with a guild,

You can run whatever class with a guild, but if its a pug group you better be ready to take that xyz class with xyz skills with xx APs or don’t bother.

I cannot see how people do higher level Snowblind that first boss fight is a pain, ive been in so many wiped parties at that part, and now that the boss resets I haven’t seen it beaten yet.

It’s only tricky at level 74 but the lack of agony damage on this boss is giving you the opportunity to take any char you have with defensive gear without any infusions and you can almost facetank it, depending on the class. We ran it with 2 guards, I wore Soldier’s gear and we had no problems at all.

While you are seeing 42 and endboss 48 as super difficult you may have reached your personal skill level.

And NO to condi Revenant!

Oh I run the high end fractals 80+ but the players you get in your team at 40-50 are vastly different in skill level to those at 80+.

The bosses in the 2 levels I mentioned themselves aren’t the problem its people not knowing how to deal with the instability, ( I should have explained it better sorry )

Mistward Armor

So the mistward armor is soulbound on acquire, but for some reason the headpiece is account bound on acquire,

Is there any plans to change this, or is just the way its going to be? Where I did get it on a heavy class, its not the char I want it on, what about the players who are playing HoT on Light/Medium classes, its completely useless to them if they happen to unlock it on that char,

I tried to search the forums for this topic, but the search feature doesn’t work properly/didn’t find anything, incase this has been covered.

I haven’t ran Rev in fractals, do you run it as Zerker or condi?

I can see where condi is handy to have on higher levels with some power in there too,

I cannot see how people do higher level Snowblind that first boss fight is a pain, ive been in so many wiped parties at that part, and now that the boss resets I haven’t seen it beaten yet.

As for full zerker at 41-50, level 42 is the only 1 that was super difficult, that jelly fish boss with retal is devastating, the level 48 boss is also nasty.

They should just make it like PvP, only you have to unlock the runes again, that way you can hot select runes/stats as you go ( as long as you are out of combat )

This is the problem ingame even now, and why most people do not like to change builds/practice with making builds as the cost of having to changes some runes is crazy.

This is one of the reasons myself and a lot of my friends haven’t went near raids, the having to change runes/stats, then when the next raid comes out change them all again, it just gets way to costly to do, and the game is hardly rewarding to begin with.

Blade n Soul a threat to GW2?

Yes & No

No from the hardcore GW2 players who can see no wrong in the game at all, and love all things about it,

Yes from the players who have waited 3 years for things to be sorted out, looking at WvW here, many aspects of PvE needs addressed also, eSports what, bunker PvP you get the idea.

I will pick up BnS here this week probably and give it a try, I wont completely leave GW2 for now as I really want to see Anet pull it back and get it sorted, they have a great game but someone at some point is making the wrong decisions,

Many gamers have been waiting for BnS for many years to come to EU/NA, over the next month I think it may pull more and more ppl towards it, whether or not them people leave GW2 for good, is another question.

Im sure many eyes at Anet will be watching numbers carefully.

How to balance Amalgamated Gemstones?

Add them to the end of every dungeon path.

This might be a good idea to make dungeons interesting again.

They cant add them to dungeons, for 2 reasons

1. people would speed clear a path for a gemstone worth 2-3gold
2. Anet are trying to remove dungeons from the game by removing rewards, they don’t want you running them.

In saying that they could be easily added to the map reward system for a random map, just like the other gemstones are.

x64 Client Freezing on exit

Since Tuesday’s patch when I try to exit to desktop on the x64 client, the screen just freezes, I have to kill the client via the task manager,

I have done a full repair on the client, and it managed to close once before going back to the freezing,

This is now causing the client to want to repair the archive on each restart of the game,

I have had no issues with the x64 client since beta launch until Tuesdays patch, a few of my friends are also getting the same problem,

Anyone else come across this or have a fix for it?

How to balance Amalgamated Gemstones?

It’s excessive.

How is it excessive? These items weren’t in demand at all before and most sold at vendor + 18% (the minimum possible price). Now, suddenly everyone wants them and the price spiked. Eventually, people will realize the value of their mid-tier gemstones and sell or upgrade them via jeweler recipes, the demand will tapper off, and Orbs will reach a new equilibrium price.

There’s always a crowd of people complaining that too many items sell (on the TP) for too little. If ANet does anything that changes that, there’s another group that complains the new price is excessive.

“Balanced” prices are in the eyes of the beholder. As long as there’s enough supply that people can buy these on the TP, I don’t see an issue requiring government intervention. Perhaps that’s because I try not to be in a rush when working on legendaries and the mats in this game accumulate eventually.

I don’t think the price will drop, infact I would say that when/if Anet launch the next round of legendarys for HoT these Gem stones will move closer to 5g each as demand vastly outstrips supply,

Where the Orbs where indeed not used before HoT the fact that you need 9 for 1 gemstone so 2250 for the stack, you only need 1000 players to eat 2.2million of them, 10,000 players and well you get the idea,

For Anet to bring these into line with other gemstones, they could alter that recipe to needing 6 orbs, this would drop roughly 60-90s from them,

Or like it was mentioned add the gemstone to map rewards.

State of the Game Update —Q1 2016

Given the current state of WvW, there may not be a WvW left to overhaul,

New fractals will be good, but along time overdue, some of the old missions from GW1 as fractals would have been great,

Dungeons, you may as well remove them completely this year, most of them are abandoned, and new players will struggle as the year goes on to get players to help them, unless they are in a guild that really wants to run them, its sad that the answer to speed clearing was to completely destroy the rewards, but alas it is done, me nor any of my friends do dungeons at all now, and I rarely see any of my 400+ member guild running them either, seriously cut your losses here and remove them.

The rest I shall wait and see, as SAB is clearly not coming back are Anet ever going to make an official announcement for all them ppl who bought the 800gem coin that they could only use for a few weeks, as im fairly sure if we had known that ahead of time no one would have bought it, even let us trade it in at the TP for credit.

The only thing I really want to see is what the plans for the expansion will be, clearly they have discussed it, if they are working on it, are we finally going to get into the crystal desert, and or Elona? Because at this point anything less will just be bla.

But lets see what 2016 will bring us, for me its been 11 years with the Guild Wars Games now.

Nevermore IV: frustrating waiting for events

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

This is kinda dodgy thing to do though (or lazy designing). Many have busy lives and commitments which is what made gw2 very accessible in the first place. Challenging is fun, but this is just dumbing it down, once again by rewarding it with time, just like in leagues, HoT meta map rotations, time is all you need to progress.

If the only thing gated behind non-casual stuff is legendaries, I’m okay with it. Legendaries were never meant to be casual. Waiting 7 hours for an event is bad.

But when Legendaries first came out, you needed WvW completion. Even on high tier servers, I had to wait weeks or even months for one single tower to be ours so I could get the last point so I could finish my WvW map completion.

WvW map completion was removed from the legendary process, but I believe for most people it was far far worse than what we have now.

That was far less casual than waiting for an event to spawn, and that’s how it was from launch for a couple of years.

This is more casual than that was.

WvW part was removed because of the arguing that it caused, from PvE players who hated WvW, and WvW players who hated the PvE players on the maps taking up spots,

I never had a problem with the WvW map completion, and I did that on like 10 char’s before it was removed,

Alas, the current format is not so casual, putting an item behind an event is fine, that is the casual part, the OP isn’t complaining about that, not looking for justification on that, they are talking about the bugged events that do not actually start, needing to wait several hours for an event that may never start due to a bug on the map is crazy, this sort of thing should have been tested to the limits before launch,

I seen a post that was linked to reddit where a dev said a certain event that was bugged was actually being caused by another event somewhere else failing/stalling,

As normal players we cannot know this, nor can we test it, we are at the mercy of Anet being on the ball and fixing this stuff,

Given the events that are bugged/locked for hours on end that have items needed, can you imagine the hassle that will come when the launch the next set of weapons etc,

If Anet are going to lock items to events, then those events must work 100% of the time, if they fail because of a player so be it, but they should have a restart procedure that doesn’t take hours or relies on a new map starting, its poorly thought out.

Will Guild Wars ever go Free To Play?

Im actually surprised that Guild Wars hasn’t went full to play completely unlocked full to play I mean, I know a few friends who only joined the GW games with GW2, and ive suggested a few times they should go back and play threw GW1, but its never on offer,

Given the game is running on its own now, with little to no interaction from Anet, yea they should push it out as a free to play game now, fully unlocked, esp if the player has bought GW2 HoT.

It took 72 hours for me.

But, I had to log off and log on again to see them on my account, it didn’t update like it would if you where buying Gems, at least for me it didn’t, this may have changed in the months since HoT was released.

Precursor Crafting Overpriced?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

For all those complaining about the old pre’s costing more to make than buying them, then just save up and buy them, the old pre’s use mats that are also needed by the new legendary’s this is what is driving the price up,

Its a simple supply and demand, those who take there time will not notice the gold it takes to craft as much as someone who wants it all done now,

If the problem is still rampant in a year from now then it needs looked at, but supply will likely have caught up with demand at this point, driving prices down.

Long story short, you want new legendary now you pay more, you want it but over time you pay less.

Login, select the achievements category and filter by your friends. Mouse over the achievement points to see when it was last updated (when they were last online). If you want to add more people, the list is updated when you logout of the game.

If you have a guild however, you simply need to invite them. Their pending invite will appear in the roster.

If one of your friends isn’t being shown in that achievement points list, what does that mean? They haven’t logged in for awhile?

Usually if it doesn’t show at all, it can mean they haven’t logged in since the last game patch was pushed out.

I haven’t been in this final mission since like day 4 of HoT, when it bugged out like 5 times in a row, the fact its been months now and Anet have still not addressed this is a disgrace.

I know several people whom cannot complete this story because of this bugged content.
