Some of the powerful potions needs new recipes cause the current ones are too expensive. Almost all of them requires one tier 6 fine material or even two to make(excluding the tier 6 dust you need for all of them). These recipes award 10 potions upon crafting.

As you may know, you can buy one of the dungeon related potions for 1 dungeon token each. The cheapest dungeon potion is the dredge potion which costs about 18s to make. So 10/1 tokens = 18s/1.8s? This sounds reasonable. The price on the TP for 1 of these is 55s right now, which is a little low, but it’s probably that low because there is a chance of getting potions from chests. However, when you look at the flame legion potion, where it costs 55s to make 10 and you can buy 1 from TP for 1.40s only?! What is up with that? And don’t blame it on the CoF speed runs, as it was even cheaper before that. These potions should never cost more than one tier 6 material + dust and some cheap stuff.

Btw, I don’t even wanna talk about the Ice brood and Destroyer potions…….cause they require a rare crafting material!? They can be bought for 3.5s and 3s on TP while you can make 10 for about 2g? What is up with that? The lower tier recipes also require a lower tier of the rare material, which isn’t cheap either. Please do something about this.

Another thing is regarding the extended potions.
They should really have a 5% extra damage (15%) along with the 2 hour duration.
This shouldn’t really be a problem, TP wise, as they are account bound and for the whooping 400 token price, I think it’s quite fair.

The Memser GS skill #3 removes a boon too.
They can also steal boons and transfer conditions with certain abilities.

Which is why mesmers, like necros, arent listed in my post. Their boon removal is fine and needs no tweaks. My suggestions are only for those classes who have no boon removal or extremely minimal removal (Thief / Engi)

Mesmers: Sword MH auto attack (3rd hit removes a boon), GS 3, Arcane Thievery (3 boons), Null field, Arcane Disenchanter…

Necro: Well of Corruptions, Spinal Shivers, Spinal Shivers trait(25%hp), 10% on hit to remove boon with minions (trait), Corrupt boon…

Oh, didn’t see that.
(Btw, how could I forget Null Field..xD)

Really now? There haven’t been a buyable trident token since launch…..Are you seriously saying that none of the Devs have seen the numerous posts about it until now? I mean, I’m pretty happy it’s finally here because the trident tokens you get from salvaging are pretty rare(I’ve only gotten about 3 tokens and I’m rank 27), but did it really take over half a year to fix this supposedly minor bug?

While we’re at it, here’s some more stuff

- The Orrian GS has the Encrusted GS skin.

- A LOT of tridents have staff skins and staff names.

- The PvP and Forest Spear( arcane orb, free tournament and crystal, dolyak) have a rifle name and skin

- A lot of weapons have duplicates, which are supposed to be different weapons with different skins.

The Memser GS skill #3 removes a boon too.
They can also steal boons and transfer conditions with certain abilities.

I got 4700 points and 11 titles so far. Only got 16 points in the salvage achievement and I’ve missed about 170 points due to not completing dailies for some time.

Happened to me too. It also displayed it in the login menu. A quick game restart fixed it and none of my guild mates could see it so it’s all good.

I’m hoping for a fully polished PvP Locker. In the recent patch it has been improved quite a bit, but there is still a lot of wrong icons, wrong skins and wrong names for the weapons and gear.

The Lost Shores minis are gonna rise in price again.

The thing is that the ones who did the daily before the patch got their daily updated, not reset, with 3 new tasks when the new patch hit. They were then able to do the daily again with the new rewards.

You learn it from a buyable recipe.

I think you need to see this.

You can encounter one in Frostgorge Sound. It may have a slight chance of dropping a precursor.

The speedup function you can choose when upgrading your guild needs to be more secure! I just lost a large amount of influence cause I wanted to see how much it would cost to speed up an upgrade. Accidentally clicked on it when I tried to see and boom, influence lost. There should really be an “Are you sure?” pop-up when you try to do this, just like with cultural gear for example.

Try signing in on this website and you’ll find it.

I can’t even operate correctly right now out of pure excitement……this is AMAZING!

I believe that the guards are only supposed to be good at protecting the yaks against npc creatures. They will spawn on the yak’s route and kill it if it’s unprotected.

I don’t think any of you guys have ever tried playing a MMORPG game from the very beginning. Things will take time. I’m actually surprised that this game have received so much content in the first 6 months of release.

People have used real money to get these special mini pets. If you ain’t gonna try your luck with real money, you ain’t getting these pets. Tough luck but that’s how it is.
If they become un-account bound, they will become buyable with in-game currency and that’s the same as giving the paying users the finger. Get over yourselves people.

You do understand that the only people initially selling them for gold would be the people who bought them with cash right? So you’re saying those people would essentially be giving themselves the finger?

Frankly, the only finger I see is the one flipped at the people ending up with multiple identical account bound minis that they can’t sell, trade, or even give away.

Ugh, I can see you haven’t used a single penny on this game yet and frankly know nothing about these minis.
Firstly, you can use any combination of said minis to craft the quaggan. So if someone ends up with 3 golems and 2 snowmen, they can trade in 1 snowman and 2 golems to forge the quaggan. If someone got more than 4 of the same mini and didn’t get any of the other 2, I can see your point. I personally got 3 Snowmen.
Secondly, do you really think we will get more than 100g for the quaggan? What do you think the masterwork mini pets would sell for? Nothing. Cash is always worth more than gold. I can understand the people that got all 3 from the first 10 boxes would want them to be un-acccount bound, but what about those who had to get 80 boxes to get them? 10€/$ vs 80€/$…..that’s a big price difference and it will probably be crucial to the gold price too, much to one of the user’s despair. I used 30€ and some gold to get mine. Tough luck(That’s what I think at least). So stop trying to pry in when you in the end just want the minis the cheap and safe way.

It’ll stay as it is. As much as some of you people, who haven’t spend anything on the mystery boxes, want it, it’ll stay the same. Anet will never backstab their paying costumers like that.

And this Preyar is why ArenaNet’s way of RNG is distasteful to say the least. It lures you in. You know the risk, but you also know what you can get. You didn’t like the idea to begin with, but just 1 more. I’m not saying it’s not your own fault, it is in every way. But it is ArenaNet who hosts the RNG. And I am disgusted with them, for doing it.

I know it’s my own fault very well, but it isn’t gambling at all(answering the guy after you) In casinos you get money in return. That is a whole different story. Here you get a special item, which not a lot of people have. You know what you get and you want it. I took the chance, failed miserably 2 times, but lucked out at the end and I got the item I wanted.

Here’s my story.
Hadn’t used any real cash for the whole event so far. I’m quite a collector in this game, especially regarding mini pets. Then yesterday I finally gave in and bought 1600 gems for 20€. First I only wanted to buy the 3 buyable minis that I needed and use the rest for another bank slot, but then I got an extra 250 cogs from Tixx. Because of that, I only needed to buy 2 of the minis.
When I had the 1600 gems in my hands, I thought: “Oh what the hell, there seem to be a high rate for the special boxed minis”. Tried my luck and bought 10. Opened them all and got 1 Snowman. I was a little displeased, as I had seen a person getting all 3 in 10 boxes on YouTube, but then again, that’s RNG for ya. Then I bought another 10…..bad mistake. There was not a single mini in all the 10 boxes. This made me a little depressed. 20€ for 1 green mini pet.
After sitting it out, I bought another 800 gems and bought the 2 buyable minis. Had 100 gems left and bought another box for the heck of it and got another mini Snowman. I was pretty surprised and at first angry, because i didn’t know that you could get the rare Quaggan by forging any combination of the Christmas minis. After I found out I realized that I only needed 1 more mini, so i bought another 10……..GOD DANGIT. No mini yet again. By then I just realized I had just used 30€ and only gotten 2 of the same mini. What the hell was I doing!?
After some consideration I tried to buy another 800 gems. Didn’t work(THANK YOU CREDIT CARD COMPANY!) Got pretty angry and decided to sell one of my old minis and had just enough gold for 300 gems. Bought 3 boxes and got ANOTHER snowman in the first box xD. Forged that kitten and got my sweet quaggan! So yeah, after 30€ and 6.5g I finally beat the Mysterious boxes. Will I try to get the last 3 minis or buy these boxes again? NO FREAKING WAY.

There is a small chance to get a “Bag of Wondrous Goods” and a only contain 3 tokens. Where’s the efficiency in that?

I got all my achievement points back, but it still shows the altered number on my character select. So I would be happy if that could get fixed too.
“Update”
Nvm, just got the points back. Was suddenly disconnected(had to send a crash report?) out of nowhere and then they were back. Nice.

I just noticed that if you earn achievement points and relog, they will be erased from the point counter too. (They will still show up as completed)

They are only introducing ascended rings and back slots so far. Calm down….

I really like this new gear progression and you know why I do? Try reading the blog post for a start.

“As we watch Guild Wars 2 mature in its Live environment, we have found that our most dedicated players were achieving their set of Exotic gear and hitting “the Legendary wall.” We designed the process of getting Legendary gear to be a long term goal, but players were ready to start on that path much sooner than we expected and were becoming frustrated with a lack of personal progression. Our desire is to create a game that is more inclusive for hardcore and casual players alike, but we don’t want to overlook the basic need for players to feel like they are progressing and growing even after hitting max level. Adding item progression is a delicate process normally undertaken in an expansion, but we feel it’s important to strive to satisfy the basic needs of our players sooner rather than later.

We have always worked hard to create a sense of satisfying progression rather than gear grind and this new item progression initiative is no exception. By adding challenging new combat mechanics to end-game content and ways to mitigate those mechanics through gear progression for high-end players, we can add personal progression without making the game feel like an endless treadmill of gear that is just out of your reach. Original Guild Wars fans may recognize that we took a familiar approach to our new progression. The first end game mechanic we will introduce is Agony, which will be encountered in the Fractals of the Mists dungeon, and is mitigated by Infusions."
How can you not agree with this?? It’s an amazing idea!

And btw, there is no indication that there will be a total set of the ascended gear yet.
If you look at the start of the “New Rarity Type: Acsended” and the “The Future of Items Progression” part of the blog post, it will start with the following:

“In November we’ll unveil the first Ascended items. This new rarity type falls between Exotic and Legendary on the spectrum of rarity and has slightly higher stats than Exotics.”

“This is just the beginning. In November, we’re only adding the first level of Infusions and Ascended Rings and Back slots, so that leaves us a lot of room to build upon these levels of Item progression in future content.”

Meaning that we will only see ascended rings and backs so far.
Please calm down and wait before attacking this new idea with your misinformed knowledge.

I recently triggered underwater champion event in Orr. In the previous event you had to escort a certain NPC and then this champion krait would suddenly appeared. Managed to solo it down to 2-3% thanks to the NPC and my Mesmer clones, but then my NPC died. I was like “No biggie, I’ll just ress the NPC”, or so I thought. Because when the NPC was killed, the krait disappeared and I got the “Event Failed”. There was no indication that the NPC was not allowed to die. I had 3 clones ready to shatter and if I had known this, I would have been able to kill the champion.
So please make the user aware of unreviveable NPCs to prevent situations like this!

Asura Mesmer, 80.
No speed buffs or anything.
Took about 1 hour to complete and I enjoyed it.

Do any of you ever read the posts on Twitter?

Also, the dyes you get from the Green & Orange Dye kits are exclusive to those kits. You can’t get those particular shades/hues from in-game.

They are not exclusive dyes. They are just reused dyes that you can get on TP for 20-30c. Unless you get real lucky and get a pricy rare, it’s not worth it.

I’ve had the [Axiquiotl] (lvl 80 exotic rifle) drop for me in WvWvW.

I don’t think they should do that. If you didn’t stock up before a maintenance it’s your own problem. What I think should be be implemented is, that when a maintenance is over, there should be a 15 min lock on WvW. Then there would be no advantage for players logging in earlier to rush to attack the towers, keeps etc.

Some days ago you could purchase them from karma vendors for a measly 23 karma. The vendors change their purchasable items every week.

Bought 1 of each from leftover gems…..got two blue dyes. Not worth it at all.

I got ambushed in WvWvW some time ago and made it to the water just before my health reached zero. Downed state vs 3 invaders…..I won! The downed skills are amazing! The 2nd skill is perfect for fooling people. The 3 invaders attacked my clones all the time while I was timing my healing and attack skills perfectly. Not forgetting the high damage 3rd skill. They never knew what hit them xD

The materials you need to make rare and exotic weapons/armor can be bought from your crafting master. (They cost karma)
