Guild Wars 2

Theif WvW exploit?

This has been confirmed by a dev, that it has never been an option to offer race change.

Well that would put Jormag out since it’s hard to NOT go down since he’s the one with the most adds/things to dodge in his fight.

Tequatl and Shatterer would be on farm, since they’re super EZ mode.

However, if it’s still RNG for tokens to drop, then is there much point?
And if it’s a guaranteed drop, you can easily farm them once every 2-3 hours. So if you play for long periods of time, you can get a few in a day and take maybe 3 weeks (or a bit longer, but not much) to get a precursor.

That’s not really a long time frame at all.

I use my warrior for sPvP. She does really well.
She’s a signet build GS/Rifle with lots of nommy crits

Though it all depends on your play style and preferences and what you really get an eye for.

Okay, thanks.

Also… why the hell am I now missing tournie tickets even though I didn’t go into a tournie? :/ If it’s supposed to happen that way, charging you even if you decide that waiting hours is beyond stupid, that’s wrong :/ Or at least they could put some sufficient warning from the kitten chick before they just take all your stuff.

Sorry. I’ve never been to sPvP before today.

So they can’t stack with PvE dyes then…
Yes?

Basically my question is this:

I have recieved 4 Unidentified dyes from chests whilst having a play around in sPvP.
I have a stash in my bank (27) that I have gathered around the world while gathering/doing dungeons etc.

I just went to deposit my new dyes with my other stack of 27, but they won’t stack. They simply change positions. I’ve never had an issue with stacking before, so i’m wondering… are they different because one is from PvE and the other is from sPvP?

I’m just curious why 7th place gets gems, but 6th doesn’t (in your list of suggested rewards)

If I was there, i’d rather lose on purpose for 7th place just to get the gems lmao.

I took my guardian into AC exp at 35.

I think it really depends on the people whom you attempt to group with and their views on taking on lowbies. Some will, some want a faster run and don’t want to carry people in their backpacks.

Honestly, I don’t have any problems with it since I know I can easily pull someone lower through, but some people prefer 80s

Don’t take it to heart. It’s just people. Kind of like how some people won’t help you with a rez or will run past, kiting mobs which in turn agro on you (since we don’t have agro tables) and you die, lol.

The suggestion isn’t really needed, and as Blackwolfe said, it will just make it harder for lowbies to ‘level through dungeons’

It’s only around a 33% drop rate.
In total, you’re looking at spending 3x the amount of mats required
The forge isn’t broken and you’re not ‘really unlucky’ – I’ve attempted a few times and most have been T6 mats >.< Frustrating to say the least, but that’s how it is

Edit – As for it being a gold sink, I haven’t spent a single copper on my mats for mystic clovers It’s quite easy to do it for cheap/free with just a little resourcefulness and patience.

It’s very easy.
You simply check your daily If it’s reset, you’re good to go. If not, then you wait.
Besides, WoW has no issues when using Dungeon Finder and there is no diminished returns for points there.

It’s not really needed.

I vote no.
This is primarily because of traits and sigils that grant benefits to your character on weapon swap.
These would become permenant buffs if you had no CD.

No.

That ‘song’ (if you can call it that) is horrid. I understand it’s a viral sensation, but alas, it doesn’t alter the fact that it’s horrid.

Evalia.7103:

actually i think deluxe edition is pretty useless ><
and I don’t like rytlock mini(I’m running with plushy griffon :P)
wolf is a pretty bad elite(at least from what people say, but it doesn’t fit in at all compared to class elites..)
the rest is one-time consumables. Pff ^^

I have plushie griffon as well. It’s so adorable

It’s sah fluffy!!!

Sovereignz.7431:

Wow… I can see that u are obviously very upset or against the idea of rewarding freebies to those who purchased the deluxe version. Since when did I mentioned that deluxe users have to be “entitled” to free items? Read what I’ve posted previously, I’m merely giving a reason and suggesting something, it is purely a suggestion. It is idiot proof that if it happened, it will be a privilege and not an entitlement. U need to chill, as it is beginning to sound like u are jealous if they actually do reward us with something. =.=

Normal users aside, if u were to ask any deluxe users, they will more or less feel a little disappointed with the promotion. Like I said, it is just an suggestion, so dun have to get so worked up over it.

I’m not jealous
I’m not upset
As I said, I have just the standard license of the game, that’s all. Many friends have the deluxe version, and aren’t phased by it. Somebody else getting a deluxe version doesn’t alter their game play or anything they do.

At the end of the day though, you have no reason to get anything for free. Your initial post was in regards to a sales promotion where new users get a free upgrade of $20 value. You felt as if you deserved to be reimbursed for having purchased said deluxe version earlier in the year.

As I’ve stated. You have no reason to get anything for free. You’ve not been a victim to a bug that caused you to not have access to the stuff that comes with the Deluxe edition, have you? Arena-Net haven’t removed any of the things you received without warning. You don’t have to pay a continual monthly subscription for it. (None of us do). You didn’t have to pay an obscene amount on top of the regular license, that makes it difficult to acquire. It’s $20 and asking for free stuff because a company is promoting their own product in a way that yes, is very enticing to new players, is a little selfish and greedy, imo.

Though if you can’t see that, then I can’t continue to keep trying to point it out to you.

Jasher.6580:

If they allowed me to change the colour of my Mesmer animations from pink/purple to blue/red/green… something more manly.

Would you think a samurai is manly?

Samurai thought that writing poems and the colour pink (cherry blossom) was cool.

My point, if YOU decide that pink is manly, it is manly. The fact that you let others decide for you that it isn’t, is..well..

Samurai were so hardcore.

And Cherry Blossoms are beautiful
I don’t typically do pink at all, and i’m a girl, but colors mean nothing if you don’t associate anything to them. It’s the same for anything really.

The only reason a color like pink has a ‘girlie’ power attached to it, is because humans made it that way.

But… at the end of the day, if you don’t like pink or purple, don’t play a Mesmer honey, cause I doubt it’ll be changing anytime soon.

To be honest, I would like it if the mesmer illusions were like that in WoW.

Now, before anyone is like ’You’re just upset cause they beat you’ or whatever. I’m rolling a mesmer. So no, i’m not upset.
Though mages in WoW can do the same thing with Mirror Image, which summons 3 clones of the mage to cast spells.
However – In WoW, these clones actually have a different name, they are labelled “Mirror Image” or something along those lines. It’s been a long while since i’ve played my mage on WoW, or WoW at all for that matter. BUT, the point is, it makes it a lot easier to tell them apart.

It’s difficult to try and tell images/real apart when you’re cycling through at an alarmingly large rate.

As for the colors… I like it as they are now It’s all prettyfuls

Sir Vincent III.1286:

RNG for real money is GAMBLING no matter how you look at it and it should be ILLEGAL and should be BANNED and DISCOURAGED.

I personally don’t spend money for RNG nor I even support RNG with gold in game. I hate it and ANET should be a shame for doing this with REAL MONEY.

Lawl. Tell casinos that gambling should be illegal. Las Vegas would be no more I don’t even live in America and I would know that one.

A-Net shouldn’t be shamed for having an option for people to spend money/gold on gems. You don’t have to partake in that aspect of the game. I haven’t yet, but I have spent thousands of dollars on various other games without any issue.

As for A-Net being ashamed. A-Net! Take real money payments out of the game, and impliment a monthly sub. It’s shameful that you’re giving people the option to buy stuff with their money. Gosh. That’s so bad and you should be so shamed for it. >.<

Give me a break.

If you spend the money on RNG, then it’s your desicion to do so, knowing full well that you may or may not, get what you want. If you don’t, tough luck. If you do, congratulations. But it isn’t anybody elses fault for you spending your own money and making your own desicions.

You got what you paid for.
It’s a promotion. You’ve already paid for it, you’ve been using the goods already.

I don’t think Greedy is a strong word to use in this context. Because now that they’re offering up a $20 value for free to new players, as a perk for buying the game, you think that you’re entitled to free stuff? Because you had to pay at launch? It was your choice to buy it. I paid for the normal version, and it’s not a problem, but by your logic, deluxe purchasers should get ‘free stuff’ because they had to pay and new players get it free, But I paid too… so I should get a free upgrade to the deluxe version as well.

Also, make note of what you ARE getting above normal game purchasers.
Deluxe Edition Owners get (On-top of the game):
- Summon Mistfire Wolf Elite Skill
- Mini Rtylock
- Chalice of Glory
- Tome of Influence
- Golem Banker

Is that seriously, not enough for you?

The advertising and promotions aren’t for your support. And you paid a one off payment for the game, not a recurring game subscription. So the ‘reward for support’ thing, i’m not getting.

-.- Lmao.

There was no sense of superiority in the first place.
You paid for perks, including a mini, elite skill etc.

You shouldn’t be compensated for paying for those additional goodies, at all.
I think asking for gems and other stuff because a company is trying to generate interest in their product and get some new players, is greedy.

Can we PLEASE not have a name already applied when attempting to create new mail to send, while in populated areas like Lions Arch?! It’s annoying as heck

Well. Not all crafting is a gold sink. For instance: 1-400 cooking can be done on 2g (there-abouts), 110 karma and 15 minutes of your time. You don’t even have to leave Lions Arch. Am I lying? No, because I did it and then did it for my boyfriends character
Jewelcrafting is also a really fast levelling craft with small cost attached.

I levelled a Guardian from 1-80 with a few pieces of AC gear (because I was running AC each day on my warrior) within a week. It’s not hard at all to level.

Please don’t misunderstand this: You actually have to do a thing called work in life. For most things.

Would that be like saying that a $20 drop on a WoW expansion isn’t fair to those who pre-ordered at full price?
No.
It’s a sales promotion. It’s not a full-time thing, just for a short while. Like sales prices for things dropping over the festive season

I don’t believe that those who payed $20 for the deluxe edition should be compensated anything, really. It’s $20, plus as you said, this is to try and get new players to the game It’s not unfair, it’s just a promo.

Plus, one can get the deluxe edition upgrade for gems, which you can buy with gold and not spend the $20. I only have the normal version and i’m fine with that. Deluxe version gives you freebies in the first place (The Rytlock mini plus the mistfire wolf elite skill), so that’s fair, isn’t it? Plus, it’s not like i’m asking to be upgraded to the deluxe version for free because others can pay for normal and get deluxe for free…

If they were to introduce steampunk, they’d have to introduce things to keep the other cliques happy too.

Nightarch.2943:

Here is how the game currently runs.
Support: Heals you barely feel, abilities that barely help you.
Control: Pointless.
Damage: Melee gets one shot, dodging still doesn’t work. Ranged is actually mandatory
Arenanet should just implement healers already, getting one shot isn’t fun, nor is laying on the ground throwing trash at your target then hopelessly dying like a fragile child ripe for slaughter. Dying on your feet is the way to go, fight to survive mechanic is inconvenient. Also do not say “L2play” it’s the bitter truth, the combat in this game is flawed and do not get me wrong I love the hell out of this game, played over 850 hours, savouring the greatness this game has to offer.

^ Lol.
My guardian is all support and I can happily say that my group can feel my heals, considering they don’t die, though sometimes come close.
Got a warrior in the group who does the ‘tanking’ (I know there is no specific role, but it’s the same kind of thing), and control, and allows the rest of us to do our thang.
As for damage, my warrior can run in and melee with crits proc’ing frequently between 12 and 24k. If you know your class (that includes core skills, traits etc) and pay attention to the animations, then it’s fairly easy to see when a boss is going to do something and be able to react accordingly.

If you’re getting one shot, then perhaps there is a problem with the group(s) you’re running with, your gear or skills of your character.

It does let you save certain profiles.
I use my Naga. Love it, but did buy it primarily for WoW (When I was playing it, that is) – Can’t say i’ve had any problems yet with my keyboard not meshing properly with my mouse keybinds.

Though why GW2 needs to add a ‘fix’ for a certain type of mouse is a bit silly. Just fix it yourself :P

I had this issue with the PVP one in Heart of the Mists
Chest opened itself so I couldn’t loot it, and I didn’t get anything in my bags, though he’s said that whole 1 present per person stuff :/

Dunno if this is working for anyone else, but you’re able to use sharks/fish pets outside of water…

Landsharks are kind of amusing in WvW

theguf.1650:

My biggest disappointment is that they let yet another huge bug slip through on their event. Little by little they’re losing my support. I’ve played about 10 MMOs and I’ve never seen bugs this bad and widespread. You screw a large percwentage of the population out of the final reward from an event, it’s a huge letdown. Do better, Anet.

You’ve never played WoW for long periods of time then. When I played, I was filling out around 3-5 bug reports per WEEK. None of them as far as I knew were being fixed/got responses.

Though, on a side note – I didn’t open the chest (Though it is open), but I did recieve my rewards. Now i’m wondering where in the hell can I get another 50 cogs for 1 more mini? I did all 5 of the daily ones, and I made the 2 (Ventari and Griffon) but since Tixx gave me 200 more, is it possible to nab another one or not… Interesting.

That’s a pretty cool idea.

Yay for concept artists!! Big love to fellow working artists <3 <3

Starscream.6498:

I’m really afraid of saying this, but… me and my guildmates have found out that conquering the Gates of Flame with Razen the Raider in Fireheart Rise yields a lot of nice loot. Especially if paired with 2 CoF runs after it.

I typically end up with 20-30 ritual bags plus other mat drops.

However, that is when I can be bothered to stand in the bridge for 5 minutes wailing on crap. Typically though I can’t, and it’s even more frustrating when you open it, run path 1 and go to start path 2 but it’s contested again >.<

You should be guaranteed an exotic for killing vets at level 75 and above…

With 2-3 people it takes a matter of seconds to kill a vet. All you’d have to do is wait for a respawn and farm it again.
It’d turn out to be an exploit and people would keep it on farm until it gets removed.

People shouldn’t have dropped everything on the first day imo.
If you’re going to regret it later on, why not wait? There’s no rush to have it all on the first day.

If you class ‘well playing’ as not running MF gear, than that’s not well playing at all.
As I said, a friend (Whom I run numerous dungeons with, daily) runs a full MF set at all times – And his dps isn’t an issue. He does have a toughness set for certain fights, but his skill with his class comes through regardless of his gear. I’ve seen geared people fail drastically as well, so it’s just the person, their playstyle and how well they know their build/toon.

Chests/boss drops in most games are RNG, so I don’t understand why it’s an issue to give yourself a boost when farming outside of dungeons/events.
I don’t think standard mobs are more rewarding, when you’re getting trophies like broken lockpicks etc. I honestly prefer the bosses in dungeons and events and most of the things I need/want come from dungeons and events.

As for things like lodestones, I have a close knit group of friends and partner who all play and we pass our stuff (lodestones, gems etc) around to each other to help each other with whatever it is we’re trying to build.

Again though, I don’t think MF needs to go – It’s a matter of opinion and either you play with it or you don’t. It doesn’t affect the game in any drastic way. It’s more of a personal choice if you run MF, and if you’re anti-MF then don’t run with people who are pro-MF.

I can’t give anything for that – I think you may have to wait and see

I run MF though I am not risking or sacrificing any stats to do so

1. I use MF foods, for 26-30% MF.
2. I have a MF set however that is for when I am out map exploring by myself

I am not causing any issues with my group or close connection of friends that I run dungeons with.

@Myramar: "i think it should be removed, and instead, general drop chances should be increased (especially for lodestones). Also, blue and green items should be removed from the chest loot tables for level 80 players (instead, i would like to see crafting mats and more rare and exotic items). Opening a chest should feel rewarding, because mostly you did something to get that chest anyway (dungeon boss, jumping puzzle, hidden spot, event boss…).

farming mobs should not be rewarded,"

A few points:
1- Drop chances should be increased for a few things, but then again they shouldn’t. Some things like Onyx Lodestones are supposed to be elusive and rare, which is nice
2 – I like working for exo’s, and getting an exo drop is more exciting and rewarding than getting it from dungeon bosses that you can down in the space of 3 minutes (Think a CoF boss on either path 1 or 2)
3 – I farm mobs a lot. Why? Because I typically want what they have a chance to drop. Typically mats. I like being rewarded with the mats i’m after, for doing some work for it, rather than spending gold.
4 – If you’re unlucky to get people running full MF gear that’s unfortunate. There is 1 member of my group who runs full MF gear but there isn’t an issue with his DPS so it doesn’t matter.

At the end of the day, you don’t have to run with anyone using MF gear.
It’s their gear and their toon and they can play it however they want to

You will be able to recieve the same prizes as someone who ran it at the city.

Everyone will get the frame/cogs and you will still get enough materials to create 2 Toy Minis

The point is, it’s a story mode. NOT an explorer mode.

You’re obviously going to get better rewards for explorer mode of a dungeon, not story.
Plus, if Arah gave a free piece of exotic dungeon gear – The others would have to as well

You only have to do story mode once

Level 5’s aren’t being able to go anywhere in Tyria.
Zones are levelled to allow a person to get a feel for their characters, their traits and skills and all that, before you move to a more difficult zone.

I dunno. Seeing a level 5 with full map completion would kind of suck imho.

On my lowbies, I open the present, dodge in and ninja pick it up and stealth out lol

I’ve created the Ventari as well, though I think I may get the Griffon for my 2nd one cause it’s so fluffeh!!!

Villious.8530:

Dakiaris.2798:

I understand what you mean…. Everything they have been doing just seems like a way to squeeze money out of players.

Everything about this game derives from that one factor. I like this game, I just hate that’s it’s ALL about the cash shop.

I have never spent a single cent on gems and I have everything that I want/need

The RNG is supposed to make them elusive and thus, something to grind for.

It’s a fairly easy achi.
I got it first day with a group of friends.
You have to destroy the entire Diorama – Which includes trees as well, not JUST buildings
Just cause it says ‘Smash the town’ doesn’t mean it’s limited to buildings only

You will not get additional cogs if you did the dungeon through the first 5 days where he visited each city.

Because it would also give back snowflakes/ectos? :/

Btw – Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
I hope you’re able to cheer up.

But if worst comes to worst, we’re all supposed to die tomorrow so it won’t matter much anyway.
>.>
<.<

Finding a group for Tixx takes two seconds. People are always at the city he is visiting spamming “LFG Tixx!” all you have to do is say “LFM Tixx – PST or Self Invite” – Guarantee within 60 seconds you’ll have a full group.

You also get 2 minis for free, skins, a free wizards hat for your town clothes (which looks like a gandalf hat which is cool), plus you get weapon/gear recipes and awesome new MF recipes.
Plus I found an ice-cream recipe that I think has come with wintersday.

So I don’t know what you’re saying there isn’t ‘enough free stuff’ – Nothing in life is free. You actually DO have to work for things sometimes.

It’s account wide.
Not character specific.

I wouldn’t be annoyed if they didn’t, but increasing a level cap isn’t bad at all.
It’s just a few more hours to add to playing

I don’t see the bad side of a level increase is all.

Hence why I always run with friends or if I PuG it, I always type “Please remember to collect your chest reward at the end!!” – A remind always helps as some people may not actually know. I know I missed a chest on the first day cause I didn’t know there was a chest.
