Guild Wars 2

Devona’s Rest, everyone hates us!

I am still getting support tokens. I am just wondering if it is just me or is anyone else getting these still? Its not very often but roughly averages out to 1 a day. I searched the forums and saw nothing about this but i’m just curious about this.

Are questioning the math or the apparent lack of… well everything?

I think the lack of everything, but I don’t even know anymore……
I tried processing, in my mind, the metamorphosis that would occur but I kept having day terrors…..

wait till you try to close your eyes… it wont go well.

I did and I saw this, which I ultimately realized was the song he was listening to while grinding (full repeat).

Ahh well, it looked like Zhaitan to me lol. Point still remains, 1 dragon….. We need another now, my gw2 addiction is wearing off. The ummm dosage of dragons, uhhh needs to be increased man! Otherwise my feel good will wear off. I might be forced to try some other recreationals, and give those Dragon dealers my money………. :/ I got the jitters Anet, I GOT THE JITTERS!

Viking Jorun.5413:

I farmed for 2 months after I hit 80 for 18 hours a day to get my legendary. This is why many people quit the game after obtaining it without help.

Wait, hold it, back up here.

So for 2 whole months you had nothing better to do?

So for 2 whole months activities included but were not limited to:

1. Wake Up

2. Brush Teeth (Optional)

3. Eat Breakfast (Optional)

4. Grind in GW2 for Legendary

5. Eat Lunch (Optional)

6. Grind in GW2 for Legendary

7. Eat Supper (Optional)

8. Grind in GW2 for Legendary

9. Sleep

10. Repeat Steps 1-10 in 6 hours.

• That is a total of 1080 hours on GW2 and 360 hours asleep on average.

So for 2 whole months you had nothing better to do?

For the sake of the experience and hall of monument swag, Yes! But there is also Wiki for lore related questions, as well as https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/lore .

The living story is nice and all, but I bought GW2 due to things like whats above. There are 6 Dragons but we have only faced one….. Anet, I think it is time for another Dragon (Not a LT. or General but the actual thing.)…… Oh and don’t make it a snoozefest please!

But where are these?

Ok we have this.

Dual.8953:

You do realize this’d make turrets completely useless right? Turrets can drop as fast as they’re put up. Why would anyone use them if they had a cast channel?

The turrets would not be completely useless. They still would be effective.. The only thing that would change is there would be a short delay upon casting time yes, it takes roughly a couple seconds to set a tripod up, And there would be no toss. Overall I play an Engineer and it does feel really OP to me, of course I know my Engi well. Now people would still use them but they would be more aware about how they are using them. Like putting them at the back of the fight or mid-range of the fight as an engineer should be. In no instances should turrets be “thrown to deploy” or used for “close range fights”. And if your turrets are going down as soon as you are putting them up then you might want to rethink your build. That is a personal issue with your own build not an issue with the turrets.

Ok easy fix.

Gemstore purchase of Race change should happen this way.
1. Reset personal story along with race.
2. Personal story for the race would reset but any Rewards already given wont be given again, so they would have to complete it all over again with no rewards.
3. Toon would remain at the level they were before the reset.
4. Sex would remain the same

Therefore, gem purchases would go up.
People would buy these items in conjunction allowing for further profit.
1. Total Makeover Kits
2. Name Change Contract
3. Transmutation Crystals

Easy profit + Consumer base happy = Good Idea

I agree with this Idea.
Just implement it right.

Edit: I meant to say that I have a Human Ranger, Which I don’t want to delete due to all I have put into it, but I do want a Norn Ranger instead. I literally have no want nor desire to make another ranger since I already have one that was my first toon. I do feel as if my decision for a Human Ranger was wrong, BUT only after I made a Norn and fell in love with the race.

I PLAY AN ENGINEER. Having said that, I don’t think an Engineer should be able to toss turrets onto walls. Instead they should be placed at the Engineer’s feet as having to set them up. We don’t even have technology to do that in modern times. So how could physics be broken to such a ludicrous degree? If anyone reading this has played Portal, what happens when you throw a turret? It falls over due to poor weight balancing. Turrets being able to be thrown onto walls in PVE or WvW is an idiocy. As a person who plays Engineer and enjoys playing it, i think this needs to be fixed. It does not seem right that they could toss them. It would feel much better if you had to place them at your feet, as if having to set it up. I also think the time it takes to deploy a turret should be adequate to time it takes to set up a tripod for anything. This is MY suggestion, does not have to be yours.

EDIT: Anet: This idea would make the Engineer much more fun in my opinion. And the only people who would disagree are the people who enjoy “exploiting” this poor system mechanic. Yes “Exploiting”.

• Male norns are way too fat, their shoulders are much wider than their legs are long — as far as I’m concerned, they’re ogres, not norn! (Nothing against fat people, but this is a fantasy game hero… they shouldn’t be 900 lbs obese. A few extra pounds, sure, but obese beyond obese? )

Norns are anything but obese.

You can fool yourself all you want.

You should learn to make the difference between physically strong and a fat person.

You can be both strong and obese: sumo wrestlers. Doesn’t mean they’re not obese.

Are you sayng that norns look like sumo wrestlers?
Norns are muscular, not fat, not obese.

Obviously we disagree.

Where I come from that’s unhealthily obese, even the skinniest male norn. Living there I’ve only seen one (female) person who looked that big where I come from, and that’s because she was hypothyroid since birth and went without medication to treat it, so her body made her obese. She exercised lots and controlled her diet very well (doctors orders), but because she didn’t have medication for the thyroid she was obese.

But besides her, even “fat” people where I come from only looked as “fat” as a skinny female norns. And that was extremely rare! I was one of those, even though I’m skinny by america’s standards, where I’m from I was considered very overweight because I was waaaaay fatter than other people ( http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Norn_female_physique.png number 1 here)
I was, what, one in a hundred? It was very rare to see another person as fat as I was. I don’t even remember anyone else. Maybe one boy in midlde school, this kid was considered obese (like number 4 here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/0/07/Human_male_physique.png )

---

The norn males LOOK strong, but they’re also obese compared to any person at a healthy weight. Even in america.

You can be strong and skinny, strong and fat, weak and skinny, weak and fat. Those are different things. I, and the people I come from, would consider all male norns extremely obese.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Norn_male_physique.png

If you are from a place where that weight is the average among people where you live and you consider that normal instead of obese, good for you I guess!

Let it go now. It’s clear we disagree.

People where I’m from are skinny (healthy weight), but also very strong. All women and young girls carried buckets of water for miles every day, went to the river with wet clothes and blankets to wash them, carried very large tubs full of blood (for sausage). We were strong, YES, but thin, not fat. Same was true for the boys and men. They were thin like the last guy here http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/0/07/Human_male_physique.png but they were lean (very little body fat) but extremely strong.

Funset, This is all a difference of view points. Where as lorazcyk is placing all the races that are humanoid, into a “reality based humanistic physical standard”. You on the other hand, Funset. You place the humanoid races into a “fantasy lore standard”.

I do agree with Funset though.
The Norn are not fat for “Norn”.
To put humanistic standards (however shallow they may be) onto a race that is not your own is quite illogical to me.
I could say that for most of you I have seen posting in this thread.
Not to offend, but maybe here’s a suggestion.
Try playing the races “As the races”, not as a “human”.
Its quite fun, if you try.

But as far as things I cant play.
Male Mesmers, I don’t dig the butterflies.

Everything else, I like!

Makes me kinda feel as if the game was catered just to me sometimes when I get on the forums. And stumble upon topics and replies like majority of these.

thats my exact same hunch LOL

I’ve tried different toons. It seems account specific to me.

……………….ugh ok………………….

those are mainly regular coffers, im looking at the Rich Coffers.

I am looking at something else but I wanted to know how much people have invested into getting the jade weapon skins and how many tickets they got.

Personally I spent roughly 30g on Rich Coffers in the Gem Store which gave me around 15 rich coffers. Upon opening them I received a few edibles and a ton of taffy, but no tickets.

Does anyone have a few accounts that prove account based RNG stats? The numbers and math would be very nice. Another group that I would like to hear from are botters (even though I hate the ever livin dog doody out of them) They are a very viable group for posting statistics across multiple accounts RNG stats.

Edit: I guess I should’ve posted that I was looking for Numbers and math vs. verbal answers.

It would be nice for Anet to give us some tangible proof of the drop rates, other than us “just having to trust them” which I don’t.

See me and a few guild mates have been thinking about not playing GW2 anymore. But its so dang pretty. I agree if a new system is not implemented I would rather quit. But, on the other hand I still need to know if it’s account specific for your RNG roll chances. Because it really does seem that way.

I didn’t read anything but the first post.

No one hates talent, just people who gloat.

Still I need to know. If I need to get a new account then I will.

I have been noticing some odd occurrences with drops and magic find.
My friend has the same magic find as me, same profession, etc.

But what I notice is he gets Exotics all the time, but I haven’t gotten an exotic drop in a month…

We both go out and kill the same enemies, at the same time and get drops on all mobs killed. But still he gets weapon tickets, exotics, mini’s, t6 mats, 3 precursors, etc. while I end up being left way way way behind.

My question is simply: Does your account have anything to do with what drops you get, or give you a higher ratio for better drops on the RNG system?

Here’s a Screenie of what should should NEVER happen. Alot of my server has given up on WvW because of this. Mapchat was flooded with accounts of dissrest on the new match-up system.

:Edit: I agree it is chasing away customers. I almost picked up my Xbox 360 Controller.

Nikkor, This is the GW2 forum. This is where people go to tell you they are better than you, and crush all your ideas. This is where all the people who fail at real life go to feel big about themselves. Don’t expect a warm reception. Just post then ignore. If Anet likes the idea they will adopt it, if they don’t they wont. That simple. Not worth arguing with these people. You wont get anywhere, just angry.

Edit: I’m actually one of the few good commanders you speak of wanting to hear from. The sad truth though, When you try to do things like that you lose ALOT of your followers because most WvW players get confused when you throw real tactics at them. I’m Military Trained, but people don’t want that. They want the same build everyone else is using and the same Zerg tactic that everyone else uses.

Had to start dancing in this dump…

Here is a picture of us using the tools given to us. Also, I don’t care if people respond to this, just don’t be rude.

Furthermore, I’m not reporting this to you, but to ANET. Thank you and have a nice day.

Well we have other exits, yes. They have the other exits, covered. We, are constantly outmanned. When we do put siege up, they use the ballistas to destroy them even in “invunerable” area. seems like they are “eploiting” certain “abilities”.

The other day I was getting hit by Arrowcarts and I ran around looking for them and none could be found. <—-Please explain that also.

You are invulnerable in your invulnerable area, but do you see that buff on your siege? No, so your siege is not invulnerable, in fact if you want to talk about exploits you might think about how you are getting the siege placed in the invulnerable area in the first place

I am sure they are invisible arrowcarts being fired by invisible ninja’s from within your invulnerable area, while camping all five exits from the spawn.

No need to be rude mate. I’m showing there is something wrong, and the “breakout” is not working to help us. I’m not the idiots. I know my WvW. Now with that being said please go troll somewhere else. This is serious business here. Sorry you had a bad day, but I’m not the one to take it out on. I’m just reporting something “I think is wrong”. My own opinion. And one shared by many on my server. Now how to take this is all on you, but please keep such rude comments to yourself, your mother, and your kids.

Make sure they are actually ACs and not a Ranger barrage…they are very similar with the exception of damage and rate of fire.

They were AC’s. I know the difference being a Ranger main.

ANET, Any Ideas on how to FIX this?

For the past few days this is what I see.

We had 4 months of building up on a living story, 4 months (!!!!!), and all we get in the very end is a bonfire? This undercuts even my lowest expectations.

Ok, I don’t get on the forums much, BUT you guys I heard about from a guild mate. I am appalled at all the people that are complaining about not getting anything at the end. You guys/gals, seriously cmon. Lets see here, how many months did you have to get all the achievements? Oh and not getting anything, (Did you run the dungeon more than once?), (Did you finish all your Living story achievements?). Hmm in total I think I got, well over 300g worth of loot from the Living Story ALONE! If you didnt want to do the work, then you didn’t get anything but a bonfire. And actually I hate people who say this but “Go cry to someone who cares.” No one really cares here except for the people who just want to be given things for nothing, you self entitled brats.

I just got done trying to protect the 4th tower but not doing so sadly. This was due to some Darkhaven players using the new arrow-cart hack not needing sight of line. They don’t even take our gates down…. They just kill our Lords with arrow-carts. Darkhaven needs removed from the WvW rankings, or something, this is making the ranks illigit and they are making a huge leap due to hacking and exploits…

Devona’s Rest. We actually have consistent issues with it. My guild is fairly large and I get told when they get “overflowed”. The Dragon Events are not the only time it happens, many of the other Meta Events get overflow as well. When I confronted the server jumpers about why they do it with the new patch they replied, “Keep it free, free server jumps foeva” “Why should we care if your server doesn’t get in” “Bugger off” and my favorite “Go whine to Anet”. So here I am, “Whining to Anet” lol.

Just as I figured, even with the recent patch Overflow is still a major issue during Meta Events. Still needs fixed, suggestion is still viable.

It has come to my attention that there are people who jump servers for Meta Events. Now this causes issues for people who chose to be on the server in the first place. It is my understanding we have the technological capabilities that would allow the game maps to have precedence for the original server population. It would benefit the original server members. If a guest is taking a spot and forcing original server members to overflow, why not kick the guest to overflow and the original server member would be able to fill that slot. This would prevent the original server members from missing out on “The cool stuff”. This would need to be looked at as a possibility. End of my suggestion.

Gone now…. Ty for quick response.

There is porn on the gw2 facebook….. in the comments of many things…..

You guys should really poll more often in the forums. It yields more results than you think. Also if you check my polls you will find that majority of players are leaning towards “Guild Mission cost is crud and ruins smaller guilds” than the few who are “ok” with the costs. Now from what I have read if the cost is not fixed to be more accessible to the smaller guilds which are roughly less than 20 members. Then gem sales, product sales, and overall numbers of people playing are going to drop significantly. Which means lay-offs at Arena Net because of less money to spend and significant drop in stocks. As a person who oversaw finances in a multibillion dollar company, I can tell you this is just the start of failure overall. You guys need to think more about the smaller guilds than the larger guilds. The people that compose the smaller guilds have enough power in the future of the game, that word of mouth could provide serious ramifications.

Polling will be how I post topics from now on.

I became awesome at polling

Heijincks.9267:

In your logic, it would be fair for someone to get an A+ on a group project they did solo in 4 hours compared to a group who invested 4 hours per person to get an A+.

Actually I disagree with your logic. The genius who did his group project by himself, in the same time as a group of people, should get an A++ instead of the A+ the group got.

I have found it best that when a mod who is like a quiet stalker ninja, starts stalking your accounts posts its best to wait a day or two. Because now you have a huge target on your forehead, truth or not.

did they delete your last post?
