Guild Wars 2

Angelic.1365:

We have a decent sized guild at 248 members. We have just enough influence to be able to queue guild treks when our economy level 6 is done. However, we keep losing members to guilds that already have other types of missions unlocked. We run bounties at least twice a week right now, but these other guilds are hostile towards us when we try to claim our bounties.

We have only had 1 player ever leave our guild before guild missions existed. Now we seem to have at least 1 per day. Those who respond to me when i ask why say they have joined a larger guild on our server that run these missions at least once a day.

Was this Anet’s intention? Our ability to unlock further missions relies on our active members. However, those members are the ones leaving to join larger guilds. I doubt we will lose more than 10% at any point, but this is still a knife in the heart.

The biggest problem with guild bounty, when there are multiple guilds hunting at the same time. The smaller guild that engage the boss first usually get shafted, the bigger guilds just stand there and looking at you rather than helping out. When there are a lot of people around the mob, it gets way harder. A small guild with 5-6 people can’t kill it if it scale up to 30-40 people difficulty. Also most people don’t understand, you can only get reward once a week per tier per account anyway so even if a guild does it everyday it won’t get you your stuff faster.

screen shot or it didn’t happen

I am pretty sure you only need to craft 40 items not 100.

come on guys! post more complains so Anet can add more effects to the scepter & focus legendary! Just like they just fixed Predator sound cause people keep complaining

It’s a trident not a staff.

Still no love after feb patch

Laurels aren’t a very effective type of currency since you can really only get it one a day and 10 per monthly. If you have like 8 level 80s and you need laurel equipments, it would take FOREVER.

I have to agree with this, some materials are way too rare while others are way too common. Also I think there’s should be a common npc that sell all karma supplies in one spot once you have done the heart npc that sell them. Traveling around from place to place just to buy one thing at each npc is so tedious.

Rashka.7304:

Currently i am at 334 rares and 936 exotics thrown into the MF, zero precursor…

Should have just sell the exotics and buy the precursor would be cheaper.

well a image is better than a 1000 words

it only happens in the floor
i’m running gw2 on a phenom X4 with a radeon 7850

and i dint got those when i was running the beta on a geforce 250gts

I think the tile guy didn’t do a good job a left grout visible after the job completed.

There is nothing wrong with a group of players who want to perform certain task with certain set up to yield maximum proficiency at what they are about to do. The word elitism get throw around way too often now a day when a player “feels” he/she is discriminate against when they get isolated or rejected. Majority of those group posted or clearly stated what their intentions are and what they are looking for when they about the run certain dungeons. If you don’t meet the criteria, then don’t ask to join.

Since gw2lfg.com goes live, I have seen a lot of players join my group when I clearly stated I want lv 80 only. When I told them I don’t want to carry anyone then they go off how elitism I am. I am not picky when it comes to class type or gears wise but I certainly don’t want to do dungeons with lv 40 or 50s because I feel it’s a waste of time. Lv 80 in GW2 takes like 3-5 days to go if you do it normally, couple of hours if you craft. It’s not much to ask. Majority of the time why not just do the run as lv 80 and then switch to your 40-50 character to leech the exp when the last boss is @ 20%?

hharry.1967:

Can we do something about this already? I have been trying to find a fractal dagger for a few months already, i have got a shield, a staff, and a greatsword, yet no dagger, lots and i mean LOTS of rings, and pristine relics, all of them useless, can we make an use to these, a trade system, a salvage system, something?! Any future plans on doing something? You get a fractal weapon 1 out of 10 runs, and after that you have 1 out of over 10 weps to pick from, its just, impossible.

I think they should do something about the FOTM skins, I’ve been doing fractal daily everyday 20 and 30 for the last 2 weeks without getting a single skin. They should enable players with lv 30+ fractal access to be able to purchase the skin with pristine relic from the vendor. Option 2 is allow the player to trade in the fractal skins they got that they don’t want to trade in for something they want.

Kiwicharr.8051:

So I’m trying to make dusk, and that takes A LOT of mithril ingots. why is it that turning mithril ore into ingots, takes longer than anything else? Its annoying as I’m making thousands of ingots and they take the longest time to make per ingot than anything else?.I can make for example, 40 mithril plated dowels a lot faster than 40 mithril ingots. I make a lot more mithril ingots than anything else and they take longer per item than anything else. Why is this?

Seriously? of all things to complain about legendary this is what your problem is?

It’s not 2 different people, it’s one guy.

I can see a spike in Mesmer in the next few weeks.

Stop w/ this Final Rest theories!. The game is almost 6 months now if it in the game it would be found long time ago.

It has been confirmed to be in the game, so your argument is null and void.

Have a good day.

Just because something has been “confirmed to be in the game” does not mean that it is OBTAINABLE in game. For example, in the original Pokemon Red/Blue, Mew was in the game, but the only way to obtain it was via glitch. There was no legitimate to obtain one even though it was in the game.

The very same could be happening in this game. It could be in the loot tables, but that does not mean a thing. The Devs have not confirmed that the loot tables are working as intended or that the boss/chest actually drops the correct loot table. For all we know, the loot tables may be correct, but something other bug maybe messing with the game. The game is a very buggy game after all.

Ill give an example: Suppose the item is supposed to drop in Chest A via the loot tables. However, there is a bug in the game due to bad programming that makes Chest A actually drop Chest B loot. When a Dev goes to check the loot tables, they will see everything is working in the proper order, yet what they will not realize is that Chest A is not actually dropping the correct loot. Just because its in the loot tables does not mean everything else is functioning as it should.

Yes you can get more gift of explorations if you complete the map again with another character.

Ensign.2189:

Precursor prices are soaring in the aftermath of the bot ban. I don’t disagree that prices are pretty ridiculous, but they are adjusting to the new reality of a much lower supply of T5 fine materials.

The current legendary obtain system is flaw from the start, I’m not disagreeing with that but making legendary easier to get isn’t the answer. What Anet should have done is make precursors account bound only from the beginning and it should have a class type of it own rather than “exotic”

Nirvash.3018:

Maybe the laurel gear boxes will give precursors at a reasonable rate? Only time will tell.

A developer already said it won’t happen.

Most people missed the simple fact that they are called “legendary” for a reason. Most other MMO the same caliber weapons take years to acquired and barely 5% of the population has it. This game take 3-4 weeks top and people are still whining about how hard it is to get. Just wait until they release alternative way to get precursors then you people will be complaining why is the 90% of the server population have the same weapons as I have. Have you people been in a dungeon with 4-5 Norm or Char swinging sunrise or twilight? It’s annoying as hell, most dungeons fighting areas are tight space so you can’t see anything other than the weapon swing animations.

The endless cycle of kittening, moaning and whining will continue doesn’t matter what anet decided to do whether they make it harder or easier to get. It’s a lose lose situation for them.

Most of the Legendaries got new cool looking visual effects but still no love for Meteorlogicus & The Minstrel

They need to fix the legendary shield light effect, as of right now it’s only the wielder can see it.

I completed my combo killer, it works for me. You can get it done faster in WvW than in PvE open world. More players there to combo with, also if you haven’t notice in the description of some combo finishers and combo field. It triggers like 20% of the time, not 100%.

I haven’t done any dungeons run since late October, since I did so many of them prior (10 hours a day of dungeons). I got so bored of it, recently I just start doing them again for less than a week. Pretty much every dungeons every path people can only terrain glitch, port through doors or abuse some broken game mechanic to beat the dungeon when most of them can be done as fast if not faster just go do it normally if they just know what they are doing.

I have 3 Legendaries and I’m proud of my accomplishments. I don’t care what people call me rmt or liar. In the end I laugh at them and running around them to show off my legendaries skills

Areann.1304:

Tl:dr:I dislike legendaries because they are a symbol of wealth instead of player skill/determination. But getting a legendary is the only goal left in the game.

Please define “player skill” for me. I know some have bought legendary but the majority worked their kitten off to make one and that show their determination to have it.

If only Anet bring back Plinx normal spawn time. I’m pretty sure people will come back to Orr

To be brutally honest though, I think legendaries are way too easy to get. It used to be harder until Anet decided to add Karma jugs to daily and month as well as dungeon rewards. Even before all the additional karma rewards, legendary was never hard to make it was just a time sink. I remembered Dynamis weapons in FF11 was much harder to make than legendary in GW2, the first one was like 1 year after it was released. GW2 legendary took like 2-3 weeks top.

yes u can equip 2 legendaries

+1 to this thread! And I laugh to whoever whine about getting Legendary

Eternity still looks better than most other legendaries out there.

Focus → The Anomaly or Spirit Links

1 epic song to listen while fighting CoJ

I’m hoping for more new Legendaries & Ascended Weapons/Armors

akamon.2769:

i’m a Norn Guard! working towards juggernaut and plan to sport it with T3 cultural lol. maybe a mix and match here. i’ve just started playing with mace + shield for my healing build for fun (and it actually IS a lot of fun. least a good change of pace) and the flameseeker prophecies would look amazing. this was my second legendary i planned to get! then, call me silly, but i saw the shark spear and i LOVED it. given i don’t spend much time underwater. AT ALL. lol. but partially that’s why it’s so attractive to me lol. so when i DO finish juggernaut, and have more time on my hands.. i may go for this shield too. then need to find a mace to match ; ))

and agree, sword + focus is great in WvW. i need to get better at it. do you consistently use the scepter as well? hammer is pretty kitten too in WvW.

Yes I use scepter in WvW/PvE as well. Since most of the time when you encounter a zerg you don’t want to be in the front line and get kitten I used GS for a long kitten time but I find it too slow and the damage ain’t so much better than everything else so I decided to go sword/focus w/scepter instead.

If I can change my race to norn, I’d go norn with hammer and T3 cultural armor. That’d look bad kitten

Anet won’t raise level cap anytime soon so don’t worry about it. Even if they do, only they have the answer

Shakki.3219:

gratz i got 2 as well (farming).

there are people who got already 7 legendaries ;]

I wish i was rich in real life w/ deep pocket so I can just buy them off the TP for 2-4k gold each. I’d rather do that than grinding all my karma and skillpoints, not to mention level up a new character for gift of exploration is a pain in the kitten

lol 1000 runs of CoE can get you a precursor very easy. 1 run = 1g+ do the math!

Malediktus.9250:

Oh I use the TP common to sell all drops which sell for more than merchant +15%.

Some legendaries don’t required lodestones. Wait till you have to make one that required lodestones, there’s no way you can farm that even if you want to.

bunn.4915:

I think tp is a fair way to make your legendary it still takes time and effort to put in achieve your goal so congrats on making 2 they look amazing. I also can make the legendary shield as we speak but I’m unsure if I should hold out onto the scavenger hunt to gain dusk as the shield and great-sword recipes are almost the same. Any way you could post a video without the sword equipped just showing off the shield effects and do you get any walking effects from the shield

In the middle of the video it shows the “walking effects”. The effect only showed to the wielder of the shield, others won’t be able to see it. There’s a circle beam of light under your feet everywhere you go.

The scavenger hunt won’t be out for couple of months imo, even when they are out I think it will be sould bound/account bound and you probably get a random precusor rather than whatever you want or desire.

Malediktus.9250:

Your idea is no scavenger hunt, it would be just another crafting recipe which would take anet 3 hours tops to implement.
And I dont really care how many legendaries I have and when I get one. Eventually I will get one and know I earned it fair and square.

So trading on the TP must be some kind of exploits. Just so you know, you’ll have to use the TP sooner or later regardless.

Malediktus.9250:

I got 1200h+ played and no legendary yet, but it doesnt bother me much since I dont exploit or rip other peoples off on the trading post.

Precusors bought during the first month of the game was dirt cheap, precusors were also dirt cheap when they flooded the market with that Kakra event. Should have kitten precusors during that time. Everything else are easy to obtain, hell just by leveling up to lv 80 and grind @ cursed shore would have gotten you at least half of the require T6 mats and roughly 300-400 ectos if you salvage those rares you get.

I didn’t save money to build my legendary once I have enough money, most of the steps were done months ago when things were CHEAP. I bought like 3-4 precusors for like less than 10 g. None of my precusors cost me than 90 g. Anyone who has 1000+ hrs playtime should have gotten at least 1 legendary already.

Malediktus.9250:

Exactly that, if you take the easy route you dont deserve any respect. Where is the achievement if you just buy your way there.

Easy route? I guess I earned my 3mils Karma + 1500 Honor Badges and over 1000 skill points for 3 Legendaries are easy route for u? It takes skill and patience to do power trading to camp TP 24/7. Although I don’t buy gems for gold or rmt in that matter.

Malediktus.9250:

Sorry, I cant respect your legendaries if you used “trading” to “earn” them.

Like I care what you think, who would want to grind endlessly for the gold to make a legendary?

Riaky.8965:

I knew everyone and their mom is going to make sunrise and twilight, that’s one of the reason why I didn’t bother with them. After testing GS on guardian and warrior, I even stay further away from making them because there were just much better alternative to GS. Maybe the only viable option for using GS is on mesmer.

If you think about it, even if you make Eternity I don’t think you can get the return you would if you sell those 2 gs separately.

Thats my problem. But i can’t sell them separately because i equipped my twilight a long time ago (wasn’t able to sell it at this time…). I think i would like to have the shortbow (love trolling people with rainbow stuff) but i’ve got no money left. Also i’m a person who wants to have one main character with all good things on it. So i don’t want to keep twilight, sell sunrise (didn’t equip it untill now) and use the money to craft another legendary for another character (don’t like to have warrior as my main character so if i would equip Eternity i’ll give it to a guardian or whatever).

And i think i don’t have a problem with losing some money. Just want to know if you think there are people willing to buy Eternity. And what can i get for it? Best offers for twilight were about 3000g, for sunrise about 2800g, that would be 5800g, but as you said i would not get that much….what about 5300g or something like that? Or maybe only 5000g? Or less? I hate listing fees btw (do you think there will some buy-orders in the next time?)

And i don’t know….maybe there are 20 people with such amount of gold…i don’t think anyone of them will buy my Eternity…

What do you think is a good price to sell my Eternity (and get rid of it)?

I’m sorry for my bad english btw… and sorry for such amount of questions.

Nobody I know want an eternity, most of them don’t even use greatsword for that matter. Eternity could get 5k+, I don’t think it will be that hard to find a buyer. Plenty of lazy people have deep pocket who can just buy gem to exchange or find other “means” to get their gold

tobschge.1948:

Riaky, this looks so amazing…i bitterly regret going for twilight and sunrise. No i’m sitting there with those greatswords and just want to get rid of those. They look like ugly kitten compared to this combination of Bolt & The Flameseeker Prophecies.

What do you think, should i sell Eternity or hold it by myself? It’s so depressing….everyone is walking around with twilight or even sunrise…nothing special there.

I knew everyone and their mom is going to make sunrise and twilight, that’s one of the reason why I didn’t bother with them. After testing GS on guardian and warrior, I even stay further away from making them because there were just much better alternative to GS. Maybe the only viable option for using GS is on mesmer.

If you think about it, even if you make Eternity I don’t think you can get the return you would if you sell those 2 gs separately.

akamon.2769:

ahh very intersting. i only ask as just as that new stat combo was introduced, i was llooking into building a boon duration build for fun, but still able to hit hard. i thought this new gear set could be interesting (but takes quite a bit to put together it seems) and i’d be pretty much made to be more support than ever. which i don’ tmind either, and i’m all for multiple builds, but i do enjoy WvW a lot and more often than not, i’m roaming or in a smaller group. good to know it has it’s place though!

agreed, as a Guard, a cross between support / dps, always welcome a DPS warr! or ele for fields

Sword/shield or Sword/Focus + Scepter is the best for guardian in WvW, nothing can beat that combo. GS is highly overrated, the damage isn’t that significantly higher than the sword but survivability is much less not to mention sword can give chase and run away like nobody business only second to a thief.
