Guild Wars 2

If that’s the case, u should really look into other games. Especially if you think everything is terrible except for that one small thing as Arah Bosses, which are not that amazing to begin with.

i can’t be bothered to play the game

C’mon man. CM is one of the easiest dungeons in the game. You can get all 3 paths ran in about an hour.

Taking loss well I take it?

And don’t even get me started on party chat upon kicking…

Unfortunately there isn’t any. It would be a nice option if it stayed though…

I think you may have misunderstood what I mean by ‘unlocking’. What I’m talking about is the icons we use now are still not bound and still exist, but instead of double clicking them to activate as a pet and put away, double clicking them makes the icon disappear and puts it in your hero panel. Then, it’s in your collection where you can view your collection from anywhere in Tyria. Like a dye if you like as well, if that makes sense.

I understood perfectly. Since double clicking makes the “icon disappear” thus removing it from economy.
The whole thing was like buying a very expensive skin on TP for a greatsword, let’s say, (example) Dreamthistle Greatsword Skin, which goes for 250g. You love it, you play with it all the time. Now as the time passes you finally finished your Twilight (example). What happens to your GS skin you bought for that 250g? It gets salvaged to get that sigil or maybe thrown to MF with other exotics. But now you have a Twilight without being able to sell that GS skin you bought so long ago which is now in 500g range (example).
This scenario is doable with Minis at this moment in time. You buy a mini you love, but a newer and cooler mini comes along. Even though you bought it for 20g back then, it’s now worth way over 100g. You sell it, make some money and also enjoy your new mini. What you’re proposing makes this scenario impossible.
I’d rather have them work on a solution that doesn’t take away options, rather than adding or enhancing them.
Maybe making equipment slot might be tied to your bank collection tab, would let you pick any mini you have “stored” (as in still being there as an “icon” but in your bank) in your collection tab, but at the same time allow you to take that mini out and sell it back, or more of a “pass on the fun”.
Taking things out of economy makes flippers go crazy with speculation driving prices to unreachable for average player heights.
I want them to make minis more accessible without taking up space in your inventory at all times, but this is not it.
The only person that would benefit from this change would be people like you having multiple copies of minis for each character and flippers, while creating another wall for average players to enjoy the contents that otherwise would be way out of their price range.

Btw, this line:

penelopehannibal.8947:

which let’s be honest, we shouldn’t be allowed to anyway!

It baffles me. Why not? Because it’s too convinient? Why make it harder?

Evan Lesh.3295:

Things that must be in a template:

• Weapons
• Sigils
• Rune
• Amulet
• Skills
• Traits

Can we also consider these for PvE content as well? Given that Weapons will be bound with Sigils they have on at given time, and Runes will be bound by armor. No need for linking and sharing in PvE, but it’d be extremely useful to change builds/gear on the fly in PvE and WvW (when outside of combat).

That being said I love the dye and outfit idea with this as well.

It would destroy the TP market for minis. So I think it’s a rather bad idea. I’d rather have them add a slot to your hero pannel where you can equip them.

I’m not sure how it’d destroy the market for minis since people who buy them to re-sell them don’t actually have to use them. Those that want to keep them can, since I’m talking about turning the current icons that exist in the world, including on the TP, would be a double click to unlock, so wouldn’t be ‘soul bound’ until it’s used.

And to be honest, seeing a dedicated panel like the Finishers might get more people interested in buying their collection in the first place.

The rarest Minis that are now unattainable would become extinct. Lets say Mini Karka Hatchlings, Mini Reef Drake or even Mini Southsun Kasmeer. People that bought them love them, but at the same time it’s kind of an investment. Because lets face it, they all get boring sooner or later, since new cooler looking minis come out. Making them account bound unlocks and therefore taking them out of the economy would make those minis spike in price like crazy. At the same time all those common ones would become even more worthless than they are.

If you look at TP right now out of the top 10 most expensive minis, 5 of them are not attainable through meaning other than TP itself. Making the potential future income items account bound because of the attraction or connection you have with a current mini, takes the item out of economy completely, making it even more rare and even more expensive. Because the fact is that by using your system, the second you make it appear, it is gone from economy.

I would be more happy with a slot equipment that maybe has an access directly to your bank that you can choose which one of your minis you have stored, you want to show at the moment.

BobbyStein.2315:

It’s a lot like watching television in that you can watch (and record) an episode for free when it airs. If you miss it, you can buy the episode off iTunes later. Does that make sense?

You avoided the “playing with friend” question though. Can we “watch” an episode we “recorded” with a friend that has not “seen it live” or didn’t buy it off itunes? Or will it somehow be locked in to unlocked people only? That being said, can we go though episodes with parties thus using LFG system for Episodes? And is so, will we get a new tab in LFG because of this?

It would destroy the TP market for minis. So I think it’s a rather bad idea. I’d rather have them add a slot to your hero pannel where you can equip them.

But it’s still a story… Make it happen!

I don’t understand why town clothes were removed instead of redesigned, personally.

Why not reinvent costume brawl?

Personally I like how many head pieces such as glasses were implemented as actual head battle gear, but the actual clothes should be at least outfits.

I don’t understand the whole tonic idea at all to begin with…

Hey are u still doing these?

Paying 40s? Each toon can have 2 crafting professions, u have 5 character slots by default. 8 Crafting professions. Nobody is getting 40s from me.

So… Where that “news soon” came from? Completely pointless and off topic…

The problem with Blitz is not that the Anet is trying to break zerging mentality. The actual problem is that Anet made the zerg mentality with every other LS update since Scarlet first showed. They are now trying to get it “fixed”. But the issue in itself is that many people are predisposed with its mentality so much that the coordination is something of a myth to them. It’s like teaching your dog to sit down at the show of a hand for a year, then expect him to lay down at the same command. I’m not saying it can’t be done, but it’ll definitely take time, even though there’s quite a few of us that think that zerging was never a fun thing to begin with hence coordination is much easier to come by.

There isn’t a mount thread without this photo
Oh and No to mounts.

6% to drop, but aside from Wup Wup stats you cannot be certain which stats selection you’ll get.

Loved the C64..cassette tape anyone? XD

Had a cassette drive but on my VIC-20. I would come home from school, start loading the game via the drive, go watch TV for about an hour and if I was lucky it loaded. About 6 times out of 10 it didn’t. People complain about 30 second loading screens in GW2 LOL.

I was that kid that went to Radio Shack in the mall, back when they were a thing and going to the mall was a thing, and programed my name in BASIC to scroll on the display computer they had. I played Zork, all text and imagination.

Without disclosing my age I think that dates me enough.

Those were the days. You also had to stop the cassette player at the right moment before the next game started “playing”. Hahaha.

phys.7689:

well the original post has real archived data, and it suggests that the drop rate doesnt increase much for high levels, anymore. I would take that data more serious than the anecdotal data, however, the anecdotal data is usually the first sign something is wrong. Multiple times already devs have made a mistake with some similar thing, and it took quite some time, and data for anyone to even investigate it.

To be honest i think its highly likely that they screwed up the drops considering as far as the main dev knew, there were supposed to be fractal boxes, and when it came out apparently there werent. Data backs it up at this point. And we have never heard anet even claim they were going to look into the drop rates and see if they were performing as intended.

Completely agree. Along with my personal experience that amount of drops in 29/38 are much higher than those in 41+. Drop rates are definitely broken. It actually got me thinking that maybe that was intended to keep drop rate higher at more populated level areas, rather than those that only selected few could reach. It wouldn’t be the first time Anet screwed over hardcore fractal players. Regardless as we stand right now it seem that 29/38 are the new 38/49, when it comes down to drops…

P.S. Lol Fractal Boxes. As confirmed by devs, they do drop in 51+ #devtroll

phys.7689:

Romo.3709:

People seriously Over-exaggerate those numbers… It’s almost like reading how many rares/exotics people dumped in Mystic Forge… No wonder nobody takes those studies seriously, even though they’re as accurate as we can get.

lets see, if someone did 4 a day… from the first fractal day… it is possible to do 2000 runs.
547 × 4 =2188
of course thats if you got up to 50 in day one.
but even if it took them 40 days, they could still get up to 2000. So if the person is a hardcore fractal runner its entirely possible, heck before account bound a lot of people had more chests per day from other charachters.

Still, those hardcore players you’re referring to are 1 on a 100000. I know it’s possible. I used to do 6-7 runs a day back in the day. But then again, I’ve gotten every fractal skin from doing so. All I’m saying is that every other person that’s complaining about drop rate did 2000+ fractals with only 1 or 2 drops. It’s possible, yes, because of RNG, but not to every other person. 2000 runs is achievable number, but only a handful extremely dedicated fractal runners that been there since very beginning. And I mean extremely dedicated. If you look at the 2000 number, it’s being thrown by every other poster that “tries” to give high balled number of fractals they “feel” they’ve ran, since unfortunately there is no way of knowing the accurate number of runs.

Michael Henninger.7451:

…We’ve seen some fantastic skins coming out of there!

You mean Dungeon skins? I haven’t seen any other ones coming out of there. And it’s not really worth the trouble.

Ok here we go:

Suspicious Jane – Thief – HotW

At least you get to see the shield, which cannot be said the same for every guardian out there.

DarcShriek.5829:

I hate the Temple of Grenth because it’s become a jerk magnet. Players get abusive if you don’t fail the temple defense event. Then they get abusive when players don’t play the assault correctly. It’s a no win situation for civilized players.

That’s all thanks to their “innovative” trait acquisition system…

The only reason people need the event to fail is so they can acquire the grandmaster trait that requires you to complete the event that happens upon the said event failing.

Clloydio.3524:

If the data is reliant on user input there it is subject to unintentional bias. When is an individual more likely to remember to document their run: when they have got a drop or when they are frustrated at getting nothing?

Even assuming their data is reliable, the only thing it proves at a 95% confidence interval is that ascended weapons and fractals skins have had their drop rates reduced. While this may be frustrating for some, it does not contradict the patch notes. I personally think the increased drops of armour make up for this.

You’re missing one vital point in this data. The point being: it’s the best we have. If you can show me different data collection that says otherwise, we can probably discuss it further. For now, all we have is our own experiences and this particular study that has been done. One the side note, it takes only 1 person from each group to enter in the data since everyone pings their drops at the end.

FearedbytheGods.8617:

#1: PvE/LS without a doubt, anyone who says otherwise is deluded.

I agree with all points but this one. I mean they do completely support PvE and LS, that’s a given since it’s pretty much all they have going for them in context of content. But Anet has shown something of a pattern when it comes to releasing PvE and LS updates. In other words, whenever the update is well received (ex. Halloween, Zephyr Sanctum, Tequatal) the devs are all in forums, communicating with players and inhaling the praise.
It’s a different story when it comes to updates that weren’t received well, creating a widespread silence from developers without any significant fixes to the issues the patch created (Ex. Fractured, Feature Patch, etc.).
Practically anytime players are against some major change, the devs sit it out until it calmed down without willingness to take feedback, suggestions. That of course does not include PvP community which is constantly being listened to by their devs.

VampyreJack.9183:

451 fractals completed, and still not even one ascended weapons chest or armor chest.
Pair that with my rank 632 in wvw and still nothing there. I do, however, have more ascended rings than i can fit in my bank….. <rolls eyes>.

Now is 451 a number that shows in your achievement tab? If that’s the case you did much less fractals than it shows, since it shows all completed levels of fractals.
1 full fractal = 4 levels
(pre fractured 1 full fractal = 3 or 4 levels)

Ken DeBoer.9268:

Someone mentioned the cursed word in the dungeon subforum…. “Fractal Weapon Box”. Besides double checking their math on the drop rates, I think this would be the next best thing. Or kitten it, why don’t they do both!

But “Fractal Weapon Box” was released, except it’s only available in levels 51+. They had an official release notes for it and all. #sarcasm

The more I look at this forum, the more I think my toons look too plain to even enter. T_T

Overall it’s been 546 days since Fractals were released, that resulting in 4.6 runs per day, every day of your life since Fractals first came out. Either you are living in fractals, hence your luck is unimaginably bad, or you’re over exaggerating that number by a landslide.

Maybe he meant fractals themselves, not sets of fractals (with 3x or 4x fractals per run).

Which would make the number entirely irrelevant to the conversation as it is about the daily chest rng.

Not advocating, just stating. The number will have to be divided by something between 3 and 4 then to become relevant again.

Technically it’d have to be divided by 4 specifically. Because as you remember, if you did 3 in a row (as in odd level fractal) you would not get the end chest because you haven’t fought the boss, so it would automatically get removed from the overall number that’s relevant to the discussion.
It’s like saying I bought 10 lotto tickets and 4 packs of gum, and only 1 of those 14 items made me win.

Probably the best item in gem store to date.

Ok I Did It.2854:

No offence to the OP as I don’t know the total fractals runs they have done, but personally ive ran fractals probably 2500+ times, never once have I gotten a fractal weapon skin, the fractal tonic, I have had 1 ascended armor chest, this is why I no longer run fractals, the rewards for time spent in there are shockingly poor, infact in my last 6 runs I did, the final chest didn’t even drop a ring,

Like it was said a few posts back, its faster to run a few dungeon paths or farm 10 champs and your likely to walk away with better drops.

Anet has never gotten the time vs reward correct in this game, Teq, Wurm for example.

It’s been 171 days since Fractured update, resulting in 14.6 runs a day, which in reality you can only do 5 runs per day to get a chest, so let’s figure you started that 2500+ runs when Fractals came out.

Overall it’s been 546 days since Fractals were released, that resulting in 4.6 runs per day, every day of your life since Fractals first came out. Either you are living in fractals, hence your luck is unimaginably bad, or you’re over exaggerating that number by a landslide.

Ken DeBoer.9268:

I truly love when people throw out many times they think have have completed a particular run; which is why I would like to call into question your 2500 number. Do you mean each fractal completed or whole runs. If you mean whole runs that is 6.8 complete runs a day for a year. And since you only get a daily chest once for each bracket you would have been wasting 2.8 runs/day/year. Also, your 2500 is 896 more chests opened than the 4 guilds worth of data captured in the Google Doc.

The only thing about it is that before Fractured you could get more than 5 chests (1+,11+,21+,31+,41+) per day if you had more than one character in fractals. Which I personally had 4 toons that were able to do high level fractals until that day. Hence the chests were character bound, not account bound. I’m not saying he’s not lying, but there’s a tiny bit of possibility. But taking the probability of the situation and the amount of drops he’s “claiming” he’s gotten from this many runs, we can easily say he’s over exaggerating.

To make the recipe for this item, it costs an incredible amount of money. So people who already have the recipe can make the gift of souls if the OP sends them the ingredients. It’s a good idea I think. That’s how I’d like to do the crossing staff eventually.

Oh okay. I didn’t realize there was a receipe involved. That makes sense now.

It also involves 500 tokens from CoE, wonder how the crafter will go about that.

You mean they still drop?! o.O

Beldin.5498:

Weapons don’t stack, so you can’t even post something like that in a normal way.

Give this person a beer!

It’s definitely not a bannable offense, but it’s definitely a kickable offense. I understand you have real life, but when u start a dungeon yourself expecting everyone to finish it for you is kind of selfish. Even though it’s out of your reach.
Think that some people actually devote enough work to have that 20-30 minutes of interrupted time, just to get in a group that has an afk person that’s an opener. That dungeon he/she thought that can be finished before the kid wakes up, just got longer because another person is not participating in the run.
Maybe you should look into different areas of gameplay.

The only problem is that you never told us 1) That we’re getting any potato related material 2) That you’re even in the kitchen.
We came to this lack of understanding at this point is because we were expecting potato, even raw one at that, but as we ask you about it, you can’t answer because you’re out in Chinese Restaurant.
Before you went out you fixed up a dish. It needed some salt and pepper, maybe some other spices, but they’re nowhere to be found.
So as we eat this under-prepared meal, we are waiting for that potato to come along.
