Guild Wars 2

dont even need second accessory

just infuse your back item and both rings and buy +10 infusion for it
much cheaper than crafting armor

my mesmer has 65 agony res and he has only exo armor

wow

sorry when say it like this but your post is “stupid”

but anyway – elona not green this week so its the normal “doom and gloom” from dayra

i bet this week we will see 2-3 threads from you with “how to balance eotm” “merge servers” and stuff like this

see? did a prediction too ….

Dayra.7405:

It will not take very much longer and also the dominant team has a problem as well: no opponent and nothing to capture.

Should SFR dominate the 3rd season as I expect it, it will be green 4 weeks in a row and no one will go to EotM for blue and red anymore.

and the problem is?
sfr dont “outnumber” his enemys so what?

You think eotm is unbalanced cause sfr players take it more serious than others?
Cause SFR players go in with lvl 80 chars and not uplvled rallybots?

Its a player made problem and no side/color outnumber his enemys at start – its more like the side with most “leechers” will be farmed cause they die in seconds and than the first people leave. And with leechers i mean this uplvled people.

There are even alot people who go in eotm on every reset and cap only the first few freecaps until first fights start – than they leave and do other things

this are the problems in eotm – the “leechers” – they are the reason why it feels unbalanced

not the players who take it serious

this spiritweapons or all items you posted are no problem

they are easy crafted and only problem material for this and ever was are SKILLPOINTZ

dynealex.1470:

but the times you run into elitist kittens can really take all the fun out of the game as well as all the energy out of you….

for me its the opposite

so annoying this people joining a group and than “i play how i want”

than do it and make your own group with likeminded people but dont kitten up other 4 players with your ego

they are explored but most eotm players just hate all this annyoing and boring siege stuff
thats why most dont play wvw

crafting bolt of damask is a waste so people just sell the materials to tp and noone craft it anymore

its not only linen – all cloth go down in price

Really? A quick look at cloth prices on the TP tells me that you’d still earn an average of about 1.5 – 2g profit by crafting Damask to sell.

quick look not enough
so here some quick math (just did math while writing and prices are all actual bid prices in TP)

Spool of Silk Weaving

• 100x Bolt of Silk (bid per 8s45c) 8g45s00c
• 1x Glob of Ectoplasm (bid 39s70c) 39s70c
• 25x Spool of Gossamer Thread 16s
  = 9g00s70s

Bolt of Damask

• Spool of Silk Weaving 9g00s70s
• 20x Bolt of Wool 1g18s40c
• 10x Bolt of Cotton 63s40c
• 20x Bolt Linen 1g94s40c
  = 12g76s90c

Craft Cost: 12g76s90c
Sell price : 14g25s02c
TP Fee 15% 2g13s75c

Your Profit = -65s63c

crafting bolt of damask is a waste so people just sell the materials to tp and noone craft it anymore

its not only linen – all cloth go down in price

Commendations for your achievement.
I hope it’s not rude to say this here but I kind of wish there were separate ranks for eotm and wvw though… Someone said it earlier and I agree, eotm has devalued the meaning of ranks. I used to oggle at a gold rank but now platinum to me just says that person spends a lot of time in eotm.

and they had no meaning before eotm – its just farming and time

would be nice when they would be removed from my blocklist after they get banned
or they will not be banned?

my blocklist has more than 300 with tag Goldseller cause i rename them always when i block

Countess Aire.9410:

How does gameplay suffer when you can only trade 25o at a time. Not everybody can shell out RL money for more storage space. Some of us have lives and jobs out side of Tyria. So it is understandable that the limit would be set with the majority of players whose space is still 25o with out the extenders.

just no

when i wanna buy 50.000 from something than the tradepost should handle this and just buy hidden 50.000/250 stacks for me

same with selling

there is absolut no reason why the player should handle this

anyone counted the words easy and easier in this blogpost?

anyway – i like the change

My guard had 2 sets of armor about a year ago I think one was the draconic zerker gear and the other gear I can’t recall off hand but It was from melandru event karma npc? Full set.. Looked awesome don’t really recall the stats on it.

there is your problem …. zerker gear dont work in wvw^^

I’m sure a lot of eles, necros, guards and warriors would say otherwise.

im sure op wrote he playes guard and dies on his guard in seconds in wvw – and later he wrote he use zerker gear

so …. whats wrong? and the others quoting me i dont even wanna coment

ppl should read before post

your spam start to be annoying

every thread you take something out of context and spam it as much as you can with answering every single post so thread makes no sense any more or will not be discussed bout the problem from the op

you talk alot but you say nothing

seriously

I remember 2 years ago when Blizzard was all over this forum predicting they were going to kill GW2 with MoP but that plan kinda backfired in their face and they lost 3.5 million players. Looks like they are setting up to lose another 3.5 million with their next expac fail.

Blizzard has 7.8 million subscribers
Anet has 460,000 active players (as of Aug 2013)

Just saying…

(NOTE: Anet hasn’t announced how many players have been playing GW2 in 2014. I only have last year’s numbers. )

That’s not true. Anet had 460,000 players on line currently at that time (which was a long time ago anyway…they’ll not likely hit that mark again any time soon).

At the time that figure was taken, the game was relatively new and I’m pretty sure they had over 3 million players. That was how many were online concurrently.

not 3 million players – it was 3 million sold copies
and from this 3 million only 460.000 ACTIVE players (online)

this game is made for SIMS fans and for the facebook generation and Arenanet ignore they sold it as an mmorpg

SIMSwars 2 would say more about the game than Guildwars 2 ^^

Behellagh.1468:

Actually the point in the video about making the player be excited about the purchase rings very true in this game. Why do we buy skins? It’s because we like the look. Gathering and salvage tools? Because we like the convenience.

The game has no paywalls. So I don’t understand why people think the cash shop in this game is so bad.

Most of the complaints seem to be from the notion of how it’s getting more difficult to not pay for an item from the cash shop with cash.

Edit: Sorry, got interrupted when I was first penning this post.

its not about the cashshop is bad its is about EVERYTHING they release is only cashshop

bring Justin to ready up (the only guy who talked with comunity in this forum like he would care bout the comunity)

OmaiGodman.2098:

I like most of the new features, they generally make playing the game a bit more easy and a bit more enjoyable. It’s a shame that a lot of people always seem to expect the addition of Cantha, Elona and the Depths of Tyria as soon as a feature pack is announced.

sounds like we had alot feature packs in this game^^

Chameleon Dude.1564:

I agree, but it’s doubtful that it’ll ever happen. We’d also want other account bound things like the copper-fed salvage-o-matic to be available so easily.

people who never buy this things would buy atleast 1 set than and others would care for all the different skins

me – i have only 1 set on my guardian and never cared bout any other – but with this i would buy all skins

Ye please add the perma Gathering tools to Warderobe too

they allready ACCOUNT bound and it would be perfect QoL change

thx

most “unhappy bout game” people just quit cause there is no reason to play something whats “bad,boring,waste of time”

its only some % from unhappy people who post on forums

just look in game – gw2 is NOT growing – it lose players everywhere and they even have to hide the server merges with calling the overflows a megaserver + delete the mainservers^^

just look in wvw on all servers – even the t1 servers – no Q anymore and no players

just look in the mists from spvp – its a megaserver so all EU players – just lol it looks at primetime now like the mists from normal server months ago

this game is not growing and there are reasons why people leave this game and closing the eyes dont change the fact

lordkrall.7241:

So… what in the gem store is necessary in order to play the game?

If you have issues with BLCs simply throw them away when you get them. It is not really that hard. I also seem to recall them lowering the drop rate quite a bit, so it should be even less of an issue nowadays.

I have gotten plenty of rewards in-game, while none in the gem-store. But I suppose that is all a matter of opinion. In my eyes, getting something for doing something is a reward. Simply buying something is not.

I get that you dislike the gemstore (you have been complaining about it since before release I seem to recall) but you are making it more of an issue than it actually is. It is fully possible to experience and enjoy the game and completely ignore the gem-store. But you prefer to see the gem-store in everything and thus it creates and issue for you.

And the fact remains. Without the gem-store we would most likely have much of a game left to play now. At least we doesn’t (as of yet) have pure OP and/or gamechanging things in the store, as we had in GW1.

Than trie to play a new account (new player) with only 1 bankslot and the normal 5 bagslots and you will understand very fast how annoying it is. How you need in this game more space but you can´t afford it anymore as a new player just from gold and you have to use creditcard. Its Pay to win – even when whiteknights in this forum still bring same kitten over and over : “So… what in the gem store is necessary in order to play the game?”

Phoebe Ascension.8437:

Still nothing. Must be important if it takes longer then last week to put it online.

or they scared to post another empty blogpost and brainstorming what they could add

Hmm .. this picture from Chinese Version also feeds my fears .. look at the “daily AH sales” ..
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img577/2972/0ucs.jpg

I dont think this for gw2 lol – would they add seomthing like this than this would be last day for me. I would sooo quit and delete this game^^.

tradepost buttons tooltips cleaned to make it easier for noobies to sell something

dont know anyone in spvp who even care bout wvw or what you say? a wvw roamer?

just wtf?

sunny…..
6k skillpoints? – this can easily be 6k gold
for skillpointz check this:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0As-wCpIszrT9dFB3YjVUVFhfenlDUUpXTVBIdm5qWmc&f=true&noheader=true&gid=12
it show you profit actual per skillpoint

40million karma? – could be 40 legendarys so 40k gold “profit” (you only need to farm the world completes – you have all the other things)

Behellagh.1468:

Romek.4201:

this guyz can destroy more than 2 million from buyd chests and still make a lot profit with the other 1 million^^

No.

First he has to sell them at a price that’s higher then he bought them at. The price did not go from 6c to 48c instantly. So the average cost is a lot higher than most people here think. It cost roughly 3000g to buy the 1.6 million units during those 4 quick buy ups on the 17th, 19th, 20th and the 27th. That’s roughly 18c each so counting in the TP tax they would need to sell 45% just to break even. This last buy of 333K units had an average cost of 36c and they would need to sell 87% of it at 49c just to break even.

No the only people who are cleaning up are those that bought nearly 5 million between Chirstmas and the mid August when the price was between 2c and 7c each and held onto some of that until now.

and you think this guy did not buy millions before? when price was on 2c?

they made profit allraedy

this guyz can destroy more than 2 million from buyd chests and still make a lot profit with the other 1 million^^

they dont want your gold they want your creditcard – so no gem price will not drop^^

Firebaall.5127:

Congrats on getting something done in the game that’s unusual.

It’s too bad that Anet doesn’t have something to show a player’s peers the achievement. The only ones that see this rank are the enemy. WvW ranks should have a little icon beside your name (like the map completion), that represents your rank tier.

Why? So that it becomes easier for people to discriminate?

no ego?

its not worth – magic find in this game is not as good as in other games cause most loot in gw2 is behind some chests or bags and on this magicfind dont work

mf works only on pure mob drops – but arenanet did work kitten making farming mobs waste of time

you get some better loot on temple events or on trashmobs in dungeons/fraktals but when you calculate how much gold you would need to bring your account to 300% than its a waste^^

bye

i dont think old skins will rise in price from this

but new skin release will not have alot supply anymore so people buying keys with money can make more gold

its rly annoying to read allways the same stupid response in all threads

ENDGAME dont need to be a geartreadmill

ENDGAME is what people can do after they lvled to max level without getting bored. And an important tool for this is PROGRESS

PROGRESS can be the fractal lvls – good start from arenanet but no supourt and not enough work on it so too much time now and people bored with this

• would be no problem to add 10 lvl more every 3 months or something with much harder fractals

PROGRESS could be the LIADRI Arena as solo content – People loved it and they even said they will work on this and bring more – but NOTHING

PROGRESS could be something like this wxp system they added for wvw but for PVE

PROGRESS could be counting the lvls i get after lvl 80 on my character and give special title all 1000 lvls or higher or something rly cool like different spell colours

PROGRESS can be alot more and it dont need a kitten geartreadmill

would total kill the game

rly – some answers here make me just /facepalm

" this game is not deigned to have endgame" – wtf? you guyz even think before write such nonsense?

it was said before release “EVERYTHING IS ENDGAME” – but probelm is we still have only same kitten we had at release and arenanet is to slow to add new dungeons or fractals or whatever.

so after 2 years its arenanets fault – people can play same things only for some amount of time before get bored and in this game it is now 2 years without any content – so ye arenanet fails here and no livingstory is ABSOLUT NO content cause only masochists watch this more than 1x and even 1x is hard

throw t1 or t2 gems or this blue/green runes in mysticforge and you have a chance to get it

sooo much negative ppl here – but no wonder its wvw forum
“wvw” – where the casuals and bad players can feel like a hero by spamming buttons

in this thread here all i see this casuals are unhappy cause someone did archieve more than they ever will – so they have to QQ

horrible people

but anyway – sunny bunny – congratz – even when you block me^^

moi.4398:

Lich is a one trick pony on 180sec cd since 2 years , why nerf it now ?

http://imgur.com/a/z4f5v

only problem here is arenanet trie to make the “representation” from a feature patch like an event – and even cancle living story for this

please MR.Arenanet stop this – bring the patch and done

this first pic looks like an normal keep on sfr

Astral Projections.7320:

WvW and PvP: buttons for immediate access removed till levels 18 and 22

haha never

you get only a message at this lvl to show you this buttons and how you gett access
i can not believe arenanet would be this stupid to not allow palyers go pvp before this lvls^^

95% from all pvp chars are lower than this lvl – they would so kill spvp

Hey

Vol.7601:

Alright so the new meta class is Mesmer

That way you get the two most valuable items (greatswords and cloths)

anyone know a mesmer farming guide? ;3

much better is necro

very easy to farm with necro and you get cloth + dagger + staff

farming with a mesmer is horrible^^

it is to bring the missing items for lowlvls

Vol.7601:

Leather will continue to be extremely low because it’s limited by demand, not supply

not when the backpacks all will need some leather as a base reagent^^

Yep Anet will be doing something about the low cost of leather at some point. The t5/6 versions are by far the cheapest materials, so it’s a good pool for them to draw from for future craftable items. Therefore, buy a ton of t5 leather and sit on it for a year :P

I too think they will have to address leather, but making it a component in a semi-desirable item would not be the way to do it.

I do not have the link, but I remember John Smith talking about silk and how he regretted how it was handled when they introduced it as a component for ascended items. The requirements were too over-ambitious and as a result the price became highly volatile. The same mistake shouldn’t be repeated with leather.

found this: http://imgur.com/a/7cmzn

so no leather^^
