it also resets your progression reward in that map
This is my biggest issue with today’s system. I was grinding events in TD and we were 10 mins away from the meta, having 200% participation and getting the prompt to change maps due to low population since people were getting taxid out. Accepting this gets you back to zero, so you’re stuck with either failing a meta due to not enough people, or getting the shaft in terms of participation you have already earned. I can’t see why it can’t carry over, it’s not like you haven’t been putting in the work.
What should be farmed in silver waste in particular to make gold?
Also I heard someone say there is a better change for a pr cursor in silver waste. Is that true? If so what do you do to get it?
After a successful meta every player gets a buff to magic find, that and the fact that there are a -lot- of gear bags to get from events + bandit chests.
The second event might just be one of the worst in this game ever. I’ve seen that one go on forever and you get literally nothing for killing a metric ton of Chak.
Hey folks, I’d like to try out some of the graphical enhancement mods I’ve been hearing about. At this point I know literally nothing about where to look and how to get them running so any pointers would be very much appreciated.
Full disclaimer: I know 3rd party software is frowned upon, and I have no idea if this falls into the category of offensive addons, so please correct me if it does.
If your glider “pops up” unintentionally you are probably holding down space for too long. Remember that wether you tap or hold down the button it won’t do anything for your jump heigth/length.
Uhh no, I am not, (nice accusation though). I have a fully mechanical keyboard too, not one of those crappy membrane keyboards (that may be more prone to “stick” [on their own])…
Thanks for your insight though, it is false… There IS a “problem” that ANET needs to address here… Whether you want to believe it or not…
And don’t take it personal, but yes, I am quite snarky right now as ANET has about gotten on my last nerve with more and more crap as time goes on… Including this, just heap it on the pile!
Don’t worry about me taking things personally, you’re the one calling a suggerstion an accusation.

Yah, I have a farm route that I try to do, most days. I hit certain maps at one spot each where there are usually more nodes and refine and sell what I harvest. It’s a decent income, if a little boring.
I just follow guaranteed rich iron veins and platinum veins (+ picking up anything I see on my minimap on my way to the nodes) on 2 chars when I have the time. Once per day. after 3 days I’ve got between 60-80g depending on prices, and I never spend more than 40 minutes per char each run. I’d say that’s pretty decent.
“It’s a game designed to reach a lot of different types of players.”
No it is not.it designed to exclude most of the people who play this game.
Try a little less salt. The fact that it’s designed to fit a lot of different kinds of players inevitably means exactly that a lot of the game won’t appeal to certain players. If you want something tailored to your preferences there are games like FIFA, The Elder Scrolls series (NOT the MMO), CoD, Battlefield etc. that focuses on one core experience.
If you honestly expect to go into an MMO and find every aspect of it to your liking then you really don’t get the genre.
It’s always the go-to argument for people getting shorter on gametime: “I paid the same, gief”. Believe me I’m in the same boat, but I still think a game like GW2, WoW and the likes MUST have items that are both hard and time-demanding to get. Without them there would just be a lot less of the “awesomeness” of seeing someone wearing/carrying these items, which again is the main source of motivation for a lot of players to go the extra mile.
Also I don’t buy into the whole equality thing, just because you’ve put down the same amount of money doesn’t mean it’s your right to get the best items. It’s a game designed to reach a lot of different types of players, and if you can’t put down the time / effort required then you’re not in that particular group of players. As such you don’t deserve them, end of story.
Sidenote: I grinded 20 deldrimor ingots by simply following the “guaranteed rich veins” guides in about 6 hours. 6 hours to get all the metal needed for something that will take you 20 days anyway because of the 1 mithrillium per day cap. Spread those 6 hours across those 20 days and it’s really not bad. (Working on Astralaria)
Had it again today, in Brisban Wildlands. Jumping off the cliffs into the canyons in the west ported me under the map / under water for 3 seconds. Seems to be an “all or nothing” kind of bug that will either be there or not as soon as you enter a new zone/server. If it’s happening it happens a lot (like 40-50% of every jump from an object that is not terrain), otherwise it doesn’t happen at all.
Definitely soloable, done so with a LB Ranger and S/S Revenant. Took 3-4 attempts the first time, failing at 20% and having to start over from the top was pretty kitten depressing..
Tbh as soon as you learn some farm routes / run guaranteed rich veins etc once per day which takes like 20 minutes for Iron, 20 minutes for Platinum etc, you can clear a LOT with an hour worth of work. I get really discouraged when I see what I will need for my next tier but at least grinding metals is a breeze when following those lists.
So I’ve had this bug lately where jumping off certain objects like rocks, trees, stairs etc will freeze the screen and port my char to God knows where. Sometimes I don’t, and I end up somewhere for a second, then get ported back to where I was. Other times I end up being 3000 feet above the ground somewhere I should not be able to reach.
Take this as an example: I was mining ores in Blazeridge, I was in Craze’s Folly and I jumped of a set of stairs. Suddenly I was 3000 feet above the western borders of the zone. Screenshot attached.
This has happened in many zones, and it seems to be only in some sessions, as I’ve logged in other times without this happening.
No idea what the trigger is, I just know that every time this happens I was jumping off something. I’d say it happens around 40-50% of every jump.
Every time I show up at one of those and a mesmer has set up a portal I feel indulged to donate something for their kindness. That kind of service is incredible. Though I would most definitely reccomend running the puzzles as intended the first time, they are quite fun to explore.
I’m hoping for the same “run” as before, with some mysterious stuff happening to introduce whatever is going on, then expanding into new zones that are relevant to the coming story (Please Elona). Always thought the episodes of season 2 were very well paced in terms of story and cliffhangers.
This is GW2, the only thing keeping people going is eternal grinds for gear that if you already have gear of ascended quality will do literally nothing for you.
Was super excited for HoT when I read about collections and how going around the world collecting items from bosses / people would be a new way of getting legendaries. Then I found out that you need to grind just about 5 billion mats in between from the same old crap as before. I’m back out.
Anets biggest problem these days is their complete inability to make getting worthwhile items a challenge, without the inhumane grind.
I’m currently grinding everything needed to craft the precursor for my legendary as I know I’ll want to dish out the gold for gifts later on. Currently from what I’ve seen on my spreadsheet I’m gathering about 2500 resources per day, spending between 2 and 4 hours. It’s really not bad considering it’s a legendary and you should have to spend some time on it.
Almost fainted when I saw the total number of mats needed, but as long as I’m grinding out one square of Elonian Leather per day (since you can only craft one thread per day) as well as one plank and ingot, it’s more than fair tbh.
Have about 1300 mats left to grind, shouldn’t take too long. Knowing where to look for items + having more than one character so that you can station them at these spots helps a lot.
You know, “Ranger” isn’t named after the distance at which they attack their enemies.. If it was Marksman / Archer / Longbowman or something like that then yeah.
Having the same problem, actually still haven’t even completed a DS meta due to maps always being completely void of players. Pretty much gave up on it 3 weeks ago, haven’t even tried since.
It is hands down the worst zone I have ever played in any game ever. Even now that I know and understand the layout it’s still a bloody nightmare to navigate effectively. Quite frankly I’m not too keen on the vertical layer desgin at all, but verdant brink was quite interesting (At least the top two layers)
You seem to be a real casual gamer. Never played Dark Souls, Metroid or Castlevania?
Yes, Yes and no. How does preference / taste in zone design alert you to a player being casual? Somehow you want to compare the difficulty and skill required in Dark Souls to grinding effective ways of traversal and finding your way through a clustered mess of a zone in GW2? It was never about it being hard, it’s about it being boring / tedious. Mkay?

I thought that you guys could make a GW3. Where its in Glints World. One idea that I had if you choose to do this Gw3, is somehow you can have the characters swing on bars and other stuff. That’s really all I have other than I accidentally sent a semi-false report. I had tried to report someone but I hit the wrong report. I hit scamming when I should have hit verbal misusage I think is what its called. So, ya. As you know, love the game:D
What’s the point of making GW3 over a new expansion?
There’s no point to make a GW3 when there are still lots of things to do in GW2 and the system is up to date.
Its a LOT more expensive to make an entirely new game over a new expansions. New games of the same saga are released when the systems are very outdated.
Sorry but your suggestion is just dumb.
How you managed to read the OP and at the same time take it seriously is baffling.
I found the fight quite enjoyable. Took me a few attemts to kill it which is fine. What I can’t really say I find enjoyable however is getting a boss that takes quite some time down to 20%, get killed because for some reason the funnels that allows you to glide won’t work, then having to start at 100%. How about some phases with checkpoints for the real long ones?
I was so thrilled when I got the first collection and saw objectives like seeking out certain people, doing certain world objectives, get items from fractals. Then when the actual crafting started it was just one massive letdown. Another eternal grind with literally nothing interesting going for it.
Idea was good (initially), execution was terrible.
Surely there must be ways to make such objectives time/skill-demanding without the whole mat/gold grind..
Seriously angry atm. Done Togonn Windmane 4 times now, everytime one of those kittened wind walls spawn right on top of me, and I have to re-run the entire god kitten ed instance. How about re-setting the achievement when you re-try it so I don’t have to waste another 10 minutes every time your random crap screws me over!?
Man, people don’t get in through email-lists, whinestorm. People don’t get in through in-game events, whinestorm. Stop being so entitled and just face the facts, not everyone will get in this time same as last. That’s how it works. If you don’t feel like working for it it’s simply not meant for you.
Quite simple suggestion really, add a wallet-like feature for our character boosts. This would function as an account-wide library where you can spend your boosts when you feel like it, without having to relog, find the bank and whatnot to get them.
Would save us time and bag space, and be quite the quality of life upgrade, even though I realize this would take more than a few lines of code to accomplish. Just felt like sharing a thought
Today I personally started a group for AC Story mode. Over half way through, one of our members disconnects, and is offline for 15 minutes, so we decide to replace him. After kicking him from the group, the entire group gets booted and the instance resets.
He was not even the leader of the group, I was, even if he was this would just be rediculous. How is it fair to punish the entire group for one person being offline?
Hands down the -worst- group system I have ever had the displeasure of playing with. Please fix this yesterday.
The summit is at her place because she’s a kittening tree! She can’t exactly go to them you know. There’s no way Areanet would really be stupid enough to kill her off or make her evil. Like already mentioned it would completely wreck the Personal story beyond repair, especially for new sylvari players and what would happen to all the other Sylvari. If she’s dead, then would new Slyvari players being awakened from the dream even make sense? If she went evil wouldn’t that mean that the Nightmare Court won/were right? Don’t you realize how much that would suck?
They really can’t do that. That would be the stupidest twist ever.
Then all sylvari could be evil from here on and kill on sight! Oh the want..
They are free if you log in during the time they are the “current” chapter. By doing so you will unlock the chapter for your entire account permanently. Right now that is Dragon’s Reach pt. 1. If you log on after a chapter is done you have to purchase it to be able to unlock it for your account.
Why in the name of all that is holy does my whole group get punished for the leader leaving? We were at the last boss, leader just said “bye” and left, and we all got booted. What..? ><
Unable to purchase gems via credit card (Card approval failed), I have used this card 5 times already and I know there is more than enough money available on that account.
Also unable to do this via paypal, pretty much the same error.
