lol at farming 6000 fine materials, 9600 ore, and 4800 wood just to craft Rares and be “anti gold sellers”!
I was having the same issue, but after a while if finally loaded. All just so I could port off map.
lol thats just TODAY i do around 40-80 extoics a day and 400 Rare a Day bud
Wow m8, I want to see how you get about 200-240gg a day
Yea, someone is either dumb as hell or fibbing.
400 low end rare GSs is some 152g, 40 low end exotic GSs is some 100g = 250-350 gold a day = less than 3 days for just the Dusk OR less than 9 days to buy Twilight outright.
If a specific weapon/item is needed in a mystic forge recipe, a transmuted version of that item will not work in that recipe.
This. Transmutation creates a new item and that item isn’t in the recipe.
Ectos won’t fall until the rares do. Since there are so many types of rares that can produce ectos, the new supply increase hasn’t caught up.
I’ll give you that. And I do my dailies to get my 10 Unidentified Dyes every 5 days. My wife loves to customize and I enjoy sending her colors.
… because I’m curious: ikittenone?
In
a
zone
/work?
I know they can join me in the overflow, but what if I want to join them in primary? Can’t do it. I don’t have enough time to just wait things out; I work 8-12 hours a day depending on what my job needs me to do, so waiting for events to end might mean missing out on what I need to do for my dailies. My priorities are to do my dailies first and level alts while doing so. If I have Group Events on my daily list, so much for that.
It’s time you joined the dark side., fore you just stated why people guest and why it’s such a fantastic system.
First, since all locations are the same no matter what server you’re on and Overflows are somewhat populated anyway, why does it matter if you’re playing with your friends in an Overflow or your home server? EDIT: This is a game, it’s supposed to be about fun, not about what buffs you have, etc.
Second, no daily I’ve seen yet requires you to be ikittenone with one of these larger events. There way more “group events” than just those few larger ones that are oh so camped. And you have options now, you don’t have to that particular achievement.
Third, so what if you didn’t get to do your daily? Time to weigh things out. Life/work or game? Life/work. Dailies only fun thing to do? If so, I’d say it’s time to move on. (We’ll leave the “gear debate” to those many other threads.) Besides, it’s not like you can’t complete Dailies in Overflow or as a guest.
I’ll relent to that; there has to be a better analogy for what I’m trying to say. And I may be an oddball here, but I’d wait in line all the same. The problem here is that the line isn’t moving and by the time it does, the cashier’s gone home. (I’m hoping that’s a better analogy.)
It’s a great analogy. And I ask, who’s really at fault: Those that got there early, etc or you for being stubborn?
And for your last post about friends, guilds, and whatnot: If you are in an overflow and want to play with friends, they can easily join you in said overflow. Any guild that doesn’t check what major event might interfere with their mission is just being dumb. Gathering? Again wait for the event to not be happening.
It’s all about logging in and thinking “what do I want to do today and how best shall I go about it?”
Excuse me, are you seriously saying that I should leave the server I picked because people from other servers are using it instead of the ones they picked? Be realistic.
If someone who visited you suddenly moved in and asked you to move, would you?
You’re excused, but only this once.
Who says they’re not using their “home” server? People do not guest to get multiple chests per character – it’s not possible. People guest to get the events done within their play time/style.
Your analogy doesn’t fit. It would be better to say: If suddenly more people from out of town opted to show up to your favorite store and thus make you wait in line and miss out on a sale, would you opt to shop elsewhere? And the answer is “yes”, especially since the sale location can be changed with a mere few clicks of a mouse.
Yeah, and then when everyone starts doing that we’re back to the original problem.
No chests for guests. Go back to your home server.
Please reread my post and try again. Second, server natives are already being stuck in overflows, unable to participate in events thanks to guesters. So take your pick: Punish guesters or punish people who’ve been on the server since launch.
Please reread my post. I’m not asking punishment for people who are prepared. I’m asking for server natives to be able to do things on their own server. And yes, actually, I have asked in map chat on Tarnished Coast how many people were guesting. The amount of replies was staggering.
Guesting is out of hand and needs to be addressed. Server natives should not be forced into overflow because someone wants to farm their rares. On top of that, I’m tired of losing out on my server’s WvWvW bonuses in the freaking starter zones.
Please tell me where in all that bull you say any such thing.
Server natives got forced in to Overflows well before this update. Sounds like if these lame events are your one and only priority, you should be the one guesting. Find a server with a population low enough to fit your needs.
You only get 2 commendations per guild mission per week except Guild Trek mission as that mission doesn’t award commendations. Guild Mission rewards resets the same time as WvW scores.
Trek doesn’t award commendations? Why? First we are forced to even upgrade that to move on, on top of that it has no personal incentives for other guildies to actually do it.
No idea man. It seems weird to me too but that’s what Dulfy wrote. Guild still do it for the extra Guild Merits.
Dulfy also wrote: “Guild Mission merit reward weekly reset time: Saturday evening (7pm EST) – same time as the daily reset time.”
They fixed the extra chests bug and there is now no incentive whatsoever to camp boss events on any other server besides your own. All players cannot be on all servers causing problems everywhere, right? And, guesting being the problem just makes no sense when considering boss events.
It certainly can be due to more people attending boss events with the increased loot. That’s feasible. Personally, I don’t understand the allure as I could get more rares farming Orr than boss events. And, it was a random mob in an Orr event that gave me my first precursor. I suppose the famished would go anywhere for a meal.
Time.
My two cents:
First, yes 0 guests and Overflows can still happen, but if guest beat natives to that zone, it will fill faster. So guesting can, and sometimes does, make things much worse. However, nobody would be bothering to do these events ASAP if the loot wasn’t increased.
Second, no you can’t globally sync event spawns. You’d have to remove all spawning windows and pre-events. When servers are taken down (maintenance and whatnot), every event and event chain is started. It is the time it takes them to be done and the windows that make the timing fall out of sync.
Third, we, the players, cannot setup timers for Overflows due to the fact that there can be any number of them at any given moment. Add in the only was to insure you get the Overflow you want is to have a group member already in it.
The servers themselves need to be looked at. Sure, we could make the events happen more often, but even the 30 min ones are getting Overflowed now. Personally, I think I’m done with bothering. There’s enough elsewhere that offers better total rewards.
You lost me at “I am punished for trying to challenge myself”. Seriously? Isn’t that the point of a challenge?
No to open world dueling. Yes to giving it a lobby like Mists.
I come from games with hard lock-outs. You either just couldn’t go back or you could but would get nothing.
The time it takes to get the gear for one character isn’t all that bad. But coming from sales pitch of playing your way and anyone able to be anything, it just doesn’t jive. The game fits the many characters mentality very well until you get to Ascended gear. Luckily you don’t need it, but it does add up and can help (who doesn’t want to be the best possible?).
My biggest complaint is the addition of daily chests and weekly(?) guild rewards. This takes me back to log in, do your dailies and weekly, log out. Heck, this month’s “Monthly” was easily completed by the third day of the month.
My only complaint about the new reward tables is that once again, Areanet didn’t account for the surge in population in one spot. The lag is horrible and the event’s themselves are even breaking. Claw of Jormag actually got to 5% after just one Ice Wall before it realized it should be flying again, then went invuln still on the ground for over a minute before starting the phase change, and when he landed at the other spot, he just knelt down until we killed it – no golem bombs, nothing.
As for making them more “challenging”, I’m sure that’s already on the list with the rest of the dungeon bosses.
Like Hanna said. This goes against the whole design of being able to join multiple guilds.
Being able to be a member of multiple guilds is a feature of GW2. If you start rewarding people for only representing one guild, then no one will join multiple guilds anymore cause representing one gives more rewards. That goes against the whole design of multiple guilds.
People in multiple guilds actually have a chance a greater rewards from guild missions than those in only one guild. Guild missions can only happen every so often. So people can rep whatever guild they want when that guild has a mission going. Meanwhile, the people always repping, the ones constantly getting the renown to fund said missions, are more limited.
I agree on a 100% rep reward, but am out as to how to do it.
Throw my tag in as one building The Predator with the original sound in mind and hating the new sound.
Yes, it’s clearly an ecto sink, but in response to an ecto spigot being added as well, that’s my point. This is a new source of ectos, there needs to be a drain or they’ll completely tank.
People are already claiming there’s been an ecto rate nerf. I’ve personally seen a drop as my average is now more like 1/2. That aside, they’re equating 50 ectos to 40 days. At the rate I’ve seen rares and exotics, not counting token exchange, that doesn’t add up. Add in token exchange and real farmers, and 50 ectos is no where near 40 days.
Ectos have too many uses to become so rare. Prices will rise. People will complain. Ascended items need another material, Exotics already have ectos.
Nice try on the save.
He gave a perfectly reasonable reply. Kinda funny that you’d rather insist he’s just covering his kitten than accept it.
Or as you and your ilk might say: “Why so bitter, bro? Troll more, bro.”
Any “I did it because” is an attempt at a “save” in this usage. I merely pointed out this reasoning given only make him look just as bad in my opinion. And that maybe next time he (they?) should think more on who’s going to see/read what they’re saying. Lastly, I don’t understand the last part. Since you don’t have a way to possibly know me, nor reference posts where I would type like that, I’ll just disregard it. Point still stands that they should have thought more of the reader than the interviewer in this case. If the interviewer is clueless on the game, better to educate them than stoop to their level. It helps more.
It’s dumb of you to call them thoughtless. They gave you 28 days to do a “monthly” that required only 5 days of logged in time. It’s not a “weekly”. You chose to jump the gun on the spending, so don’t even try and use that pity card. It’s thoughtless of you to not stop and think “I have less than three days to start and finish something that is set to take a whole month, do I even bother? Five Dailies? Not even possible.” We all get that real live is greater than the game, but we don’t all go kitten on the devs for not predicting our individual lives and coding to fit each and everyone. They’re already giving us “choose your own” achievements to better suit our play time/style.
Since the actual question was never quoted, which is always fun if you’re going to get called on something, I’ll clarify for you as mentioned in another thread:
Yeah just for clarity, someone asked about balancing various under-used weapons and said something about “dual pistol mesmer” as an example, I figured that’s what he calls off-hand pistol and answered using the same verbiage asked. I’ve found travelling abroad, as well as across the fan base everyone uses different terms for part of the game, people still ask me all the time about our quest system for example, it’s easier to just respond with the terms they use so they understand.
I’m well aware mesmers can’t dual-wield pistols, we’ve only been working on it for 6 years now If there was double-pistols, my Mesmer would whoop you in PvP with them though, just sayin.
Off to play my double-pistol Warrior!
Nice try on the save. But when I’m being interviewed about something I made, I’d make sure that everything I said accurately portrays it the light I want it in. You’re not tech support helping Grandma with her “thing-a-ma-bob” to get the “doohicky” installed. Talk about bad business. You’re supposed to be clarifying and showing that you know what’s going on and what you’re doing about it, not make it easier for the interviewer (who isn’t the one reading you responses) to understand the “what’s its” and “who’s its”.
I thought this thread was going to be about legs. I don’t see any legs here.
I too am disappointed. /fix

And she has 6!
People are still going on about the limits on conditions? Seriously, this is only an issue if you make it one. Learning group diversity? Gaining group synergy? F that! I wanna make it bleed.
As for the proposed “fix” of different conditions per class. Um, no. Why turn one condition in to eight? The only time conditions can be problematic is in larger numbers, the “zergs”. So you want to make the inflicted have to remove a possible eight conditions per type? There are few skills that remove “all” conditions. Do you also propose we all have our skills changed too? Maybe give us more utility skill slots so we can remove each condition by “type”?
Remove the cap on stacks? Again, no. The damage dealt could get out of hand and result in “just stack the bleed and keep running” fights. That’s no fun. I could see maybe them upping say bleed to 30-35 stacks, but nothing too high.
You realize there are separate teams for different aspects of the game, right? The team fixing traits and skills that you expertly identified with precision above is different than the team putting out new content.
You realize that is irrelevant to his question, right?
No it isn’t. Is the content team supposed to just sit around and do nothing? Very unlikely that anyone in the content team have the skill sets needed to work on bugs. His post is very relevant.
The problem is the “content team” puts out a bugged product. IMO Anet is too compartmentalized and needs to pull its self together. Yes, new content should be top priority, but it should be quality stuff that builds on existing content. Currently it’s “hey look at what I did, now you go figure out how to make it actually work.”
Bring on the fluff. I’d love some more fun and goofy things that reward.
Each guild mission type becomes available through an upgrade that is researched in the guild tech tree. The first one is Guild Bounties, which does require Art of War level 5.
This is disappointing to read. Even if I’m in a lager, upgraded guild.
@homonavn
I guess you missed that part about us clearing it across multiple servers, multiple times a day. Not to mention other people do it as well. We also clear Shadow Behemoth whenever he is up on Jade Quarry, Yak’s Bend, and Blackgate. We’ve got a pretty solid farm group going for these events (and I’m sure other people do too).
I’d like to know what time of day your group is out. I’m on JQ and end up soloing, so I wouldn’t mind joining up for the Eye chain.
Edit: also, if a realm/server has more pve players with little WvW representation and are gaining tiny bonuses, then that server basically gets what it deserves. You don’t wanna fight, then you better pick up the pace with the mob farming and node looting.
This. More people in PvE gathering and killing mobs more than compensates for any benefit WvW heavy servers get from winning.
Why do people keep saying that all chests of the same name share the same loot table? There are examples where this isn’t the case. So far the only limitation I’ve seen on chests is the quantity of items. This leads me to believe that it’s all chests sharing a base loot table with some having extra items at the minuscule rate.
Another point I’d like looked at: Slot Options. Every stat option available has an offensive and a defensive (amulets added utility), yet some stat options have more than one of each slot type.
Hey everyone, I’m here to help clear up some of the confusion on this issue!
First, our apologies for the inaccurate response: your system clock does not affect your loot drops (sorry, conspiracy theorists). We’ve corrected this information for future responses.
If you’re not receiving loot from a champ/vet, it’s most likely because you’re not getting kill credit. We’re currently working on some improvements to this so that it will be easier to get rewards when you kill a creature.
Thank you for bringing this up!
I can shot a Dragon a few times and get loot credit, but I can’t solo or even group kill with considerable more hits?
^
problem with this: ZERGS.see how the temples/world boss are boring ?
its just “not fun” to spam 1 and down a dragon thats on a timer.i still think my suggestion would rock until somebody can say why it wouldnt.
And I had a huge LOL session when I watched the “zerg” get bigger and bigger, while the Grenth Priest’s attacks got bigger and bigger.
As for your suggestion (and I wait for the PM saying they moved the thread): It’ll end up the same as Dragons and Dungeons are now, bunch of people standing around where the event is to take place. This doesn’t get more people out in the world any more than the current Dragons and Dungeons do. (Yes, I’m purposely typing them in that order!)
^
its the only way to get the “amulet”.so i do it.
but i still dont think it makes sense to just tp near a water spot to go kill some fish,
then tp in your usual spot to raise the same 10 npcs.
and after its all done, you can resume playing the “fun game”, levelling up an alt an stopping to smell the roses and/or doing challenging endgame stuff with your main.just my opinion.
and no offense, but your solution is kitten.
Playing the “fun game” as you described doesn’t need the ascended gear.
I also love how so many people have all this tricks and tips on how to go out of the way to get these dailies done. They’re almost all setup to be easily done doing just about anything in game. The exceptions would be Crafter, Laurel Vendor, and maybe Aquatic Slayer. Crafter, just because you have to stop and be at a station. Laurel Vendor, because you have go to them and they’re not exactly in places people go all the time. And Aquatic Slayer because there’s very little reason to be out in the water.
Yes, I think some of the numbers need adjusting, such as Gather and Aquatic Slayer, as they just don’t seem in line with the numbers/time needed for the others.
What they should’ve done is have a single Icy Runestone cost 100g and have only one of it needed for gift of legendary.
Actually it feels good buying them from time to time to have a progression in your bank.
So does banking a gold here a gold there. Same thing.
Well the question was “better” loot, but they did describe more as well.
1. Do you like them because they’re expensive and just few can buy them?
They’re not expensive.
2. Do you like them because they’re more powerfull than some other gears that common folks can equip?
Define “common” as, again, they’re not hard to get.
3. Do you like them because of their design?
Yes.
4. Would you still like them if more people could afford them?
No. They only way I see “more” people affording them is if they gave out full sets at account creation.
This for certain? Because i know when i have transmuted and added sigils to other named weapons they have changed.
Edit : if this is the case then if i bought ‘Corrupted avenger’ off the TP i could have one of any combination of stats as the name stays the same regardless.
You can’t buy transmuted gear off the Trading Post.
OP: Default is “Stats Skin of Sigil”. So best guess is that it’ll change to this format upon transmute.
People seem to forget that they will implement more ways of getting ascended gear like for exampe: crafting or WvW(badges, I guess)
Like they added Laurels? Now we have two ways to get rings! Next they’ll add WvW vendor for earrings, amulets, and rings!
Once every vendor is added these threads won’t matter, but we’re discussing the here and now. Hoping there’s some kind of feedback actually taken in to account and future updates show they’ve learned something.
just a question about the pristine token, can i obtain more than one at day? example, i do fractal 10 and i get a pristine, then i do fractal 12, will i obtain a second token?
You can do level 10, then 20, etc, for two or more. You can do level 10 on every character and get one per character.
I totally agree that acquiring the amulets from the Laurels are completely unbalanced compared to the rings from Fractals. Whoever came up with that price scheme didn’t think it through. Just look at rings: 10 days of fractals and character based VS 35 Days and account based.
Fractals actually favors alts, as I can create more and get them to Fractals 10+ fairly easy and use them to boost the Relics gained to gear faster. It’s just more time spent doing the actual work.
The only thing I can suggest would be to have character dailies that rewarded the Laurels and have them be actual tokens. That puts it back to doing more work and not just prolonged time with no progress – then make the Laurel costs more in line with the previous Fractals costs.
I don’t think the rings should be salvaged to Globs of Ectoplasm, but I do think they could give the varying Mist Essences.
I’d like to see the at least the Vials of Mist Essence for Pristine Relics and Amulets should definitely be added. Side note: I don’t see why rings were added to the Laurel vendors at such a high cost
The loot chests are actually easier to see then the sparkling corpses. Your show tags key, default Ctrl, shows their name and you can spot them much easier. Unlike the normal sparkling corpse you can mouse over and have the hand cursor, which is the same for any item you can pick up.
I like the WvW system as the loot comes to you, but it’s highly annoying when being on the move so much. The loot system I like the most is one where you use a key and the loot comes to you and in your bags. I haven’t seen a loot system where you were just given the loot without any kind of “pick up” interaction, but that would be most ideal for situations like WvW.
Am I the only one that has played games without player mounts but had mounted NPCs and enemies?
I’m with Gaudrath.6725: You can get lodestones through all aspects of the game but SPvP and SPvP has no use for them. What happened to “Effort = Reward”? So you gotta put a little effort in to making what you consider fun profitable for what you want.
I am having an issue and would like some help. I am trying to work on making infusions and am gathering the Passion Fruit needed. My problem is I don’t know if they have a fixed respawn timer smaller than the “daily reset”. I thought it was less than the 24 hours or “daily reset” due to going back out just now, 18.5 hours after last gather. I do a loop around the Southsun Cove river. I see some nodes on the mini map, but they’re on the other side of the ridge at the end of the loop. As I’m going around the loop I notice only the first few nodes are actually active. By the time I get to the other end of the loop and to the spot where I spotted the nodes on the mini map, they are not active nodes.
Obviously the nodes are bugged in some fashion but when are they supposed to fully respawn? Is there someplace that outlines gatherables’ respawn rates?
I’ve found that they can spawn with just about anything in them. I’ve even had a guild Fractals run have one spawn that we all tried looting and none of us go loot from. And I’ve had them just not spawn and receive Rares off the body still.
I still have no clue as to why this change was even made. To me it makes no sense to have a mixed system.
They’ve been there, part of mob sway when capping the temple.
