Jade Weapon Skin Ticket

in Dragon Bash

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

Yes…. you are one of the few that throws tons of money at them because you like MMO lottery, which causes them to keep putting this stuff in the game.

Feels like I am being told off, but I like a ‘little’ bit of lottery, not a huge amount. As I said, I spent some boxes but the stock content they contained didn’t seem worth it to me. If I am going to ‘gamble’ I at least would like better bog-standard items within the boxes themselves. Take Wnitersday, the socks, jumpers etc…I’d had enough.

I don’t know what makes you assume I throw money at anything, I spend what I can, and don’t mind doing so as not paying for a SUB, means that in good spirit I like to give a little back.

Aside from that, I am always happy to see people get good things from boxes, even if I don’t get them myself, but I am a nice spirit like that. I don’t always have to have the shinies.

As for the last comment, I don’t cause anyone to do anything. The lottery is already there, it was there from the beginning.

More hairstyles?

As much as I like the cute stuff (cute white kitten I am looking at you), I would really like new hairstyles as well. For humans primarily, but all races too I suppose.

Today's gem price spike

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

Tempted as I was to buy the on sale character slot, I am saving what few gems I have left for the Dragon Bash (just in case there’s anything nice to buy).

I do feel sorry for people who have to convert gold > gems, it’s pretty terrible. I did it myself once, and regretted it.

flame&frost dyes, get em now or wait?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

I paid 22g for the Flare dye, and really love the way it looks (higher contrast?) and 14g for one of the teal colours. This is only because I missed the F&F event, so had no other means of getting them. They are pricey though.

Hoping for more high-contrast colours.

What do I have to do to get Jade Tickets?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

Put a box in the gemstore that GUARANTEES me a weapon ticket. If I wanted to kitten money away in hopes of winning something, Id go to a casino. I am not going to gamble 100g on gems just for a slight chance at getting a decent weapon skin.

Please don’t. If anything, I would prefer slightly higher odds of getting a weapon ticket within the game, but please don’t take the randomness out of it, that would be too easy.

Southsun feels incomplete

in Living World

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

I wouldn’t say Southsun feels incomplete, I would say it feels ‘experimental’, as if it’s an island away from a little of the norm, for ANet to get a general idea of the direction they possibly want to go in in future.

Guild Wars 2 Worth Playing Again?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

Honestly only you can judge if the game is ‘worth’ playing. To me it is, but if I had come to this forum and read some of the negative posts that I often see here, it would likely put me off the game…unfairly to the game, because obviously people are playing it, so they must be enjoying it.

I find it immensely fun, at “endgame” you don’t get your hand held, and that’s possibly why some people feel they have no direction, (or no clue) but there is lots to do, and all I have is fun doing it. No the game isn’t perfect, but I am yet to play a game, any game, that is.

Jade Weapon Skin Ticket

in Dragon Bash

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

I guess I am one of few who likes not knowing whether or not I will get a chance at something rare. I actually got a scelerite weapon ticket yesterday after having about 10 southsun crates drop from mobs, totally unexpected, and I expect the dragon coffers will be the same way. You’ll get lots but most will be unlucky, so what? Its not as if we are paying for this extra content.

I purchased some of the halloween/winterday boxes…can’t remember which, could have been both, and stopped pretty quick after being disappointed by the content of them, but I only purchase what I can afford, and I generally purchase gems pretty frequently anyway.

Karka Queen event frustration

in Last Stand at Southsun

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

Really sorry to the people who are having a hard time, but if anything, I learnt and adapted quickly to not standing/idling/akitteng in certain places. I learnt a hard lesson, but really I find the idea of Southsun being really dangerous and unpredictable to be part of it’s charm.

I was once caught out by a karka horde and got killed before I could get to the queen, but I could have spawned elsewhere and run round a safe way, the island really isn’t that big.

Last Stand at Southsun: Feedback/Opinion

in Last Stand at Southsun

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

Personally I am enjoying Southsun immensely, not so much the dungeon/instance stuff, but I am not a dungeon-lover generally. I love that lots of players are getting wiped, it means the events are more challenging, and frankly they should be challenging, as events that can be easily won are boring…really boring.

Southsun as an environment is bang-on too in my opinion…..sun, sea, sand and karka….the perfect holiday destination :-P

Sound Bug at Southsun

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

Myself and others I know are having this sound issue as well. Various sound effects will disappear, such as the sound of combat, and I will hear ambient sounds only, other times the effect is delayed, or as OP said, complete silence. I don’t play with any of the games music on, and this issue only arose since the latest patch.

I don’t think Vashoom’s advice is helpful tbh, as this isn’t specific to the OP.

Seeking a guild on Desolation or Aurora Glade

Seeking a guild on Desolation or Aurora Glade

in Guilds

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

I am looking for a semi-hardcore/casual FUN-based sociable, and mature guild that likes to do all sorts of things, or just chill out and mess around when the feeling takes them. A guild that feels close-knit, friendly and everyone communicates. English-based or speaking.

I’m a female gamer been playing since beta, and have been in a few guilds, but none I feel at home in. In short, finding a guild I feel at home in has been hard in this game for some reason.

I have two level 80 characters, and working on a third, but my main is a human mesmer. I am terrible at jumping puzzles, but love to try them and like a bit of everything. I love to WvW, run around in PvE and enjoy the journey making new memories as I go.

A Loss of Faith

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

I never understand these types of posts. I’ve left a lot of games because I didn’t like them and never felt the need to leave behind a trail of negative energy to the players who enjoy it, and aimed towards the developers.

As someone else said, your opinion is (whilst valid for what it’s worth), is subjective. I log into the game 6 out of 7 days per week, the 1 day I don’t is usually because I physically am not home for whatever reason. So I am having a blast, yes the bugs can be annoying, but they exist in any mmo out there, let’s not pretend that GW2 is the first and only mmo that’s had bugs.

A big positive for GW2 is the fact we’re not paying subs, so……there really isn’t actually a need to announce a big goodbye, because you can come back at any point and check things out.

The Cantha Thread [Merged]

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

The only aspect of Cantha I liked was the Kurzick and Echovald Forest. I would beg on bended knee for the Kurzick, I loved them so much, to me they were so stylish, moody, grim and gothic. I loved that….so atmospheric.

However, Elona I would like to see…I really enjoyed exploring that continent.

What's your favourite Jumping Puzzle?

Goemm’s Lab in Metrica Province…..I can never complete the timed JP’s like Mad Kings and the Wintersday one. Kudos to all who can, so I prefer the ones where I can take my sweet time.

Forcing players to complete dungeons = bad I think

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

I feel similar to the OP. I can say quite confidently that I dislike dungeons in this game, and feel that although there are nice/decent people who enjoy doing them day in/day out, there are also the unpleasant characters who burst a blood vessel at the slightest thing, and I prefer not to mix with or play with those people. That’s my choice. I also didn’t like Fractals either….lol….I love ANet and love GW2 but I try to stay away from dungeons as best I can.

So my choice is grin and bear doing dungeons, or miss out, since this is how ANet has designed things.

My favourite aspects of the game are open world PVE and WvW.

Absolutely loving the sound of the new achievements set-up. I for one am not all that keen on Fractals, so a new way of obtaining Ascended gear is a big plus!

And finally, new stuff in the Gem store….about time! Can we get some new cosmetic armor/town clothes too please?

Thumbs-up ArenaNet!

Gandara Vs Aurora Vs Dzagonur

in WvW

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

I’ve played on both Gandara and Aurora Glade. However, there is something about Aurora Glade that has my heart…and when there is a good commander online, Aurorians are a force to be reckoned with. However there does seem to be a shortage of commanders on AG at the moment…so that needs to change fast.

Open world feels empty

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

I love the open world, more so than dungeons…..I think that everything PvE related could have been incorporated into the open world somehow, not instanced dungeons that further separate the playerbase.

I honestly think no more dungeons….ANet make the open world what you intended it to be, alive and flourishing. (I am likely saying this because I personally don’t like dungeons). My first love in this game is partaking in the open world alongside fellow players. When it happens, I love it, but it’s getting quieter and quieter out there, and it is ANet’s fault, as much as I love them.

[January] Issues with character art, weapons, or armor?

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

I posted this previously, but this picture is better. The gloves my char is wearing shouldn’t look like this. equipping the chest (Tier 2 Human) actually changes the gloves, puts that weird stripey part onto it, and leaves a gap between hand and wrist.

I noticed it was like this in beta pictures…..however I do not think it is meant to look like this….please fix it. I can’t stress enough there are few armors that I like on my mesmer, and this is one of them. I am getting tired of seeing things like this not being fixed, respectfully.

And I find it hard to believe so much effort is put into designing something, but then you don’t care that it looks a buggy mess.

My character: Human Female Mesmer
Armor: Human Tier 2 Chest, Light Armor
Issue: Gloves change appearance on equipping the above item, and there is a gap between hand and wrist.

PolarisNova.3867

Does anyone look in this thread? The heritage light armor still appears to have the glitch I posted a while back.

I not long ago purchased the Tier 2 Human Cultural coat…..and found a horrid bug that really needs to be fixed and not ignored please. There is a horrible stripe thing that forms above the gloves, and my characters wrist…if you look very closely, actually has a gap. Her hands don’t attach to her wrists with this coat on.

It looks a mess, please fix.

It affects my human female mesmer.

The Wintersday dud.

in Wintersday

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

Good lord, it’s a game. Arkham if you have time to write all over that over a holiday event in an mmo, maybe you have too much time on your hands.

That said, Wintersday was very much fun for me, there are things I’d have preferred to see done differently…Toypocalypse was not what I thought it was going to be, and I suspect the people that complained wholeheartedly over the live events of Lost Shore are largely to blame for that.

Anyway I disagree with OP….I don’t think Wintersday either the decoration or the activities it contains, was lazily done. I actually think that’s somewhat insulting to the developers personally.

Phase Retreat and getting stuck in odd places

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

Thank goodness it’s not just me then! Was beginning to think I was doing something wrong.

I agree, it is actually quite fun in a way….inconvenient, but fun too.

Also I agree Ramiel, I am sooo glad I don’t get teleported off ledges. I guess I prefer getting stuck in things.

'festive' costume is blargh!

in Wintersday

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

I think the female costume is lovely, very feminine and cute. Not to everyone’s taste maybe, but all things can’t suit all people!

Even though I still think costumes are very expensive at 700 gems, I’d rather spend that on the costumes than waste my money on buying the gift boxes.

Phase Retreat and getting stuck in odd places

in Mesmer

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

Phase Retreat works oddly for me….a good few times now I’ve gotten stuck in odd places.

I got stuck in a big fire torch, a dog hound cage, a helicopter?!…also in invisible walls in mounts and hills. Is this some sort of bug?

I asked a fellow mesmer user if they have ever gotten stuck anywhere using phase retreat, and they said no…so it’s odd I’ve experienced it.

Even in Tixx’s Infinitarium just yesterday I got stuck in an invisible wall after using phase retreat. The only way out is to way point on every occasion.

Anyone else experienced this?

The female Heritage Armor clips now at the waist. On human female (don’t know about other races).

I don’t remember it doing that before, but it doesn’t look too nice. It’s possibly my favourite armor funnily enough, but it niggles me to see this:

The skirt is bleeding/clipping through the top, and it shows no matter what….it’s a permanent thing. Please fix it <3

Nov. Monthly Achievement Alienates Casuals

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

Yes I took one look at the new monthly achievement and made a mental note to not even bother trying.

The sad thing is I love GW2, and yet somehow am beginning to feel excluded from some of the higher-level content. Quite unexpected. I hope ArenaNet remember that they said people who don’t want to do dungeons will have the opportunity to get equal gear as well. Well I see no alternatives as yet to getting Ascended gear, so I hope it will happen relatively soon.

The game is awesome however, I do worry that I am going to be so far behind on being able to obtain the latest shinies that unless I keep leveling alts, the 80 content will become unreachable, and I’ll just stop playing from lack of motivation.

Opinion: Orr and Southsun Cove are player unfriendly

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: PolarisNova.3867

PolarisNova.3867

I like Orr. I feel comfortable there on my elementalist. Southsun Cove? I’ve been three times and not been back since. In fact, I’ve been having more fun playing my alts rather than go to that island where the mobs hit so hard.

ArenaNet I love you, but Southsun Cove to me feels like punishment (unless I am in a big crowd)… not fun.
