Guild Wars 2

Because of gold sellers, it is not / it won’t be possible. You just have to wait for another free weekend tryout. They do them regularly. And we (the players) will have to endure that weekend full of gold sellers sending whispers everywhere…

I think making them trad-able would solve a lot of problems for a lot of people.

Loading to certain maps used to be bad. Now, with the Megaservers update it’s ridiculous…
Also, my guild held Guild Missions yesterday for the first time since update. It was a living hell. You could never get everyone on the same map. Every mission we activated, we had to taxi people over for 10-15 minutes. All while everyone was trying to figure out if they’re even on the right map. We used to take about an hour an a half to get all missions done. It takes waaay over two hours now.
Not only the guild recruitment is almost impossible, but guild missions are more of a chore than a community event… There need to be a fix of some kind for this. Maybe naming the megaservers with a number or something, so everyone knows where to go? Kind of like district system from Guild Wars 1. Anything….
In other words, Megaservers are slowly destroying Guilds. People from different servers that are invited do not get the bonuses that the guild provides, nor do they contribute to overall influence gain for the guild, because it stays on their server.
The tradeoff for megaservers is not worth all this trouble by a long run.

Astral Projections.7320:

I happened to check it around 10pm server time yesterday and they were 5 tickets each.

Yeah it was part of the last night’s build.

Not only that, but you can’t combine armor with weapons anymore…
“allowing for more variation in output” my kitten …

ElenaDragon.8401:

According to the notes for the small update yesterday, they raised the price to 5 tickets.

Yup, prices are going up.

I guess that “rumor” they were referring to was actually only a rumor…

Investing always comes with a risk. You never invest everything you have… Your first mistake.

Elred.4709:

So it’s really worth it to save up 700-800 gold to get the precursor?

Is the legendary really worth it? That’s the question you have to ask yourself first. The answer to that will then carry over to the question above.

As to mystic forging precursors, keep in mind that some people quit the game because they gambled everything they had and got nothing out of it.

Good example: You want to buy a car, but you only have $2,000. The car you want is $14,000. Your credit is horrible so that’s out of question. This leaves you with three options:

1. Give up on buying the car. (Not getting legendary)
2. Save up to get enough to buy it. (Buying precursor off trading post)
3. Taking all you have and going to closest casino hoping it’s your lucky day (Mystic Forge)

Thanks for the reply!

Everything I type in any chat doesn’t show. When I try to whisper to people directly it says they’re not online right now. Anyone else is having this issue? I restarted the game three times now and nothing.

You pay 5% listing fee which is that 2g50s25c.
Once it’s sold you’re deducted “transaction fee” which is 10%, so in this case it would be 5g0s50c.
Anything you sell on TP multiply by .85 and you’ll see how much gold you’ll make.

tolunart.2095:

Ok I Did It.2854:

More desirable, and with anet stating pre cursor crafting was being put on hold until they can work out how to ( if they even cab ) make it work now, it means the demand and supply game is in full swing, and its pretty clear some guilds/people are controlling the entire pre cursor market.

How does a person/small group control the market when precursors constantly appear out of thin air?

That’s normally to-go argument when you can’t afford a precursor and people are buying them before you. It’s obvious that some people have multiple precursors either on trading post waiting for them to sell or have some in their bank that they invested in hoping that the price will go up so they can cash in. But with the demand at this point in time the precursors (especially the more desirable ones) basically “fly off the shelves”. Making it easier for people that got lucky enough to have them drop actually ask for much higher price because there’s a very limited supply of them at the moment.

Vol.7601:

Unfortunately the color box is so small that sometimes it’s easy to mistake yellow/orange.

I accidently salvaged an exotic that way.

I tell myself everyday that it was not a precursor.

…

;’[

They have 20 slot rarity bags in fractals you can buy for relics that will put rares/exotics/masterwork (depending on which bag u buy), so when you get a yellow one for example will go into that bag 1st when orange one will be up on top with rest of them or the other way around.

Rebound.3409:

No it’s not. There are no such borders atm. Open up your inventory and tell me after a raid which items are yellow and which trash.

At the moment u can’t without hovering over with the mouse.

If they really add this feature i would be very glad as it was something i have been thinking of for some time now.

Lol. Click a little CoG gear in upper right corner and toggle on rarity of items shown.

Gaag.6538:

I agree with this thread, and it has to be karma, if they make ingredients attainable by dishing copper/silver/gold (which one can buy with real money) it would be just another form of P2W that will allow players to just buy their way to 500 cooking mastery.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

I got a Rodgort’s Flame as a drop over the weekend, and the price didn’t go up by 200 Gold. Where’s the inflation for my item???

Look at how many classes actually use torch. Now look at how many of those classes actually use it in their builds constantly. Torch not being as viable as other items makes it so it’s low on demand. If you’re making a legendary, it might be a weapon you use constantly. Why do you think underwater precursors are still low?

juno.1840:

Logged into GW2 for the first time in weeks and precursor prices are quite a bit higher — roughly 200g higher for Legend, Dusk, Zap (didn’t check any others).

Here’s the data (in case people think I’m trolling):

http://www.gw2tp.com/item/29180-the-legend

Ignoring the spikes, the prices are 200g higher going back about three weeks. So what’s the best guess at the reason why?

Have you looked at the supply chart aside from price chart?
Economics Basics: Supply and Demand
In march there was 20+ Legends, look how many are there now.

Solution: 7 80s. (Sorry, necromancer. .. you belong in pvp hehehe)

You will always have the class for the job!

Or make your own group.

Lol… Just no… Necros are better in Pve than any people give credit. And often much more skilled than those “awesome” warriors, or eles that wind up telling you they are healing spec… haha

Lol… Just no… No serious speedrunning guild brings necros except when on casual runs, because necros are terrible. The only time they were ever used in serious ones was back when people did FOTM 70+ IIRC, because 1 condi class was nice for dredge.

One of the classes I play in fractals is Necro. And if you know how to play the class, you get some amazing numbers out. Obviously we don’t go speedclearing, since we do fractals mostly for fun. Regardless you won’t see my necro go down before any other class.

Saying they’re terrible means you never even touched the class, other than maybe craft leveling it… Shame…

That being said:

Friends don’t let friends pug

No more Karma sinks. I’d be fine paying copper for the pieces, but we seriously don’t need any more karma sink since we barely get a fraction of what we used to get back in the day.

I’ve been selling them for months for a whooping 4s and 95c! Probably adds up to a few golds now.
Aside from that there’s a banktab filled with infused rings… Not counting 2 per each of my alts… SIghs…

Brother Grimm.5176:

Sure…just not ascended right now (in a few days it will not matter).

That’s innacurate. You realize when you make an ascended weapon it actually comes out as an account bound weapon? And becomes soulbound only upon equipping it (this will be removed with April Patch). So yes you can, as long as you don’t equip it. Regardless, OP is only 400, so we talking exotics only.

Regardless whatever you craft is not bound to your character specifically. Celestial and Ascended items are bound to your account. So as long as you don’t equip it you can freely move those items around.

Hermes.7014:

I periodically see topics about mounts and periodically people start saying good and bad about it, and Arenanet closes the topic because of the flames and off-topic.

I say let people have what they want, those who don’t like them won’t use them.
And stop spouting nonsense about immersion, there’s the sea for that.

And how would that help my loading times? It’s not about not wanting someone to not have something when it doesn’t affect us, but it’s more about how it would make loading and zerg content even more cluttery that it already is. It affects everybody, not just people that want to show off another bling because their character is RP-ing a horse master or whatever.

Devata.6589:

“What new PvE element? " Lol I did answer that with one example already but if you need me to copy paste it no problem. “collecting them in the world.”

“mounts make worlds seem smaller not bigger.” VS no fast travel so only walking they might seem to make it smaller yes, however vs way-points they would make it much bigger.

I never said it was ‘clicking add mount’. It it trivial to you not to many other people. For other people collecting things like mount is there main game-play element. And because GW2 is so heavily skin focused for GW2 it is a very big addition.

It’s like saying, lets scrap planes and cars and lets go back to horses.

No… Just NO.

Burnfall.9573:

I admire the OP for dreaming the impossible and embracing hope; without any restraints. .

Where is the poetry in it? Where is the bad attempt? Where is it?

Everyone is entitled to dream and hope, if you don’t like it, let them be .

by the way,

" Dreams and hope are not meant to be liked but to be freed "

@ Dusty Moon:

here are the Op last words,

" All I’m asking for is mount to increase our speed (You can cap it at 50% speed increase) and to make our character looks cool? XD".

I see no have too’s or must’s> no pressure here at all

It’s a forum… not an amateur writing class.
You want mounts. Most people don’t. If the game would be optimized better I wouldn’t give a kitten . But with the game optimization the way it is right now, it’s not that we don’t want them, it’s that we can’t have them. It would make this game run like kitten. Is it really that hard for you to understand?

Don’t make it into “dreams and hopes” bullkitten debate, where you make yourself look like a victim. From a technical and lore point of view, mounts are not desirable for this game. You knew this game has no mounts when you picked it up, don’t whine about it now.

Hannelore.8153:

anzenketh.3759:

Should not blocking someone hide your status? I remember reading somewhere that it does.

Blocking someone doesn’t hide anything. Setting Invisible mode does.

Yes it does. When you block someone, that person’s friendslist shows you perma offline. They can’t see anything other than your account name then.

So what… if it look or seem impossible for Arena.net implementing mounts in the game,

what are dreams for?

What is wrong with dreaming?

" Without dreams, life would not exist "

" Without possibility, the impossible would enslave us "

if your life´s happiness depends on GW2 and further, of the implementation of mounts in there, it is about time to reconsider quite a few things.

Does encouraging others for dreaming, make you their slaves ?

Poetry this is not, also, rather incomprehensible.

Yeah, pretty bad attempt.

Wow… just wow…

If you feel like Anet is holding out on your “mount dreams”, there are literally hundreds of games out there that have mounts.

It’s almost like your gameplay is completely destroyed because you have to use your own feet.

Get a grip.

Dusty Moon.4382:

Byter.9051:

4. There were no mounts in GW1, we shouldn’t have them in GW2. GW1 had 2 mounts (that I can think of). One was a siege devourer and yes I used that just to laugh because it was abysmally slow and ridiculously huge (apparently you could make it faster though) and it was a mobile siege mount for those that don’t count it as a mount. Also there was a story quest in the desolation that unlocks Wurms to use for movement in the desolation and they were most definitely mounts.

Cont. Next post 5001 word limit*

4. I addressed in point 2 but will expound on further. You cannot use that wurm, in the desolation BEYOND that zone. It is a situational mount., not a universal mount (and you want universal mounts). The reason the WURM is there is because the area is poisonous to HUMANS and in order to follow Palawa Joko, you have to become a WURM to travel underground. That is situational. When you get to Rocky areas, you are forced to unmount. This is opposite of a ‘Universal’ Mount, which you can ride anywhere – this is more like a tool and when the tool is done you don’t use it any more (like the tools you get to put together Ikea furniture – not useful after putting together the furniture).

Just to add to this. In both cases the player becomes those creatures. There is no mounting or sitting on top. If this is what you call a mount, then great news everyone! We have tonics! You can transform (or “mount”) into any mount you’d like!

Therefore you cannot use that as an argument, because if you do, you pretty much asking for something that’s already in the 2nd game. Tonics.

Mounts were never a part of Tyria. And I’ve yet to witness a NPC riding a mount, so argument #3 is invalid as well.

Ravion Hawk.4736:

I honestly think there will be more Bifrosts as the unidentified dye price tanks.

What was the average of unided dyes, around 25 silver? About 62g 50s to make the Gift of Color @250 dyes. Now it will be 100 dyes at that average will be around 25g or with a projected price tank of about 5s would make it about 5g. The price of the Bifrost is meant to recoup this cost along with bringing a net profit.

Now imagine the profit if the Bifrost stays the same price but the cost of dyes were free? Granted it might not mean much to some, but the ability to save between 5g to 25g is big for some players. I honestly think there will be more Bifrosts on the TP.

I honestly think you don’t understand how much gold creating Bifrost really takes. 25g is a drop in a bucket. It’s nothing.

Using http://www.bravevesperia.com/ you can get the following numbers:

Current system price of all pieces bought from TP:
2122g 66s 76c

New system price of all pieces bought from TP:
2062g 6s 76c

That 5-25g will go a long way… >_>

So… when you calculate how much is that 25g in total price of creating a bifrost:
25g / 2122g 66s 76c = 0.0117776330123473
So… 1.2% of your total cost

Now given current prices of Unid Dyes (40s 40c) you’re actually saving 60g 60s 0c
That would be a whooping 2.85% of your total cost.

So sure, everyone will be making Bifrosts left and right.

- The only reason to use a splitter at this point is to get the stats of the current appearance back…

So if we didn’t already buy a splitter doing this isn’t an option now? Is there any way for someone without a splitter in inventory right now to recover stats from an item?

Here’s the answer to that:

The kick system isn’t broken. Just right click on the offenders’ names in chat and report them for scamming.

You must be joking. Have you ever been kicked and done what you mention? No. Because I never ever got the /p chat kept after being kicked. Did you?

They “fixed it” a while back. When you get kicked from a party, the chat stays active, when you’re still on the same map. The only minor thing they forgot is that when you get kicked out of a party inside of the instance, you change maps the second you get kicked, because you’re not only getting booted from the party, but from the instance itself.

Would be nice if they went a little further with their “fix”. Or at least add an option in report section for abuse that keeps track of your record up to 5 minutes prior…

And to top it off, you won’t be selling you unidentified dyes for 25s after the patch. At least not for few months. The amount of unidentified dyes that gonna flood the market is gonna go through the roof. So naturally the price will fall dramatically.

Trading
Rumors tell of a merchant interested in items from major events in Tyria’s recent history, including Blade Shards. Players are encouraged to hold on to these items if they are interested in trading with her when she appears.

So… Any update on said “rumor”?
It’s been almost a month now…

Why don’t you just say straight up what you don’t want to do in the description? No skipping, No stacking. Plain and simple. Don’t waste people’s time trying to lure them in to your party when they have no intention following your rules. You want to make a no skipping and no stacking party, call it what it is.

Those look like light-sabers from far away o.O

Another thing is that the map will constantly recreate itself becoming a new “overflow” each time it gets capped, therefore mining materials will in one way become harder because of locating it, but in another way it’s like you’re guesting to a new map EVERY time, creating new nodes (that your character can mine every time) each time you zone. It’s like guesting to a different server over and over without the cap of 2 guests.

Flissy.4093:

My guess is there has been a recent monopolise attempt. I know someone hit Colossus (which has now recovered) and I’m pretty sure Spark was another victim. Seems likely Zap is a 3rd. This would also explain the “abnormal” price – being more costly than Dusk.

I highly doubt that’s the case. Increase in interest of one handed legendary weapons because of wardrobe is the case here.

Infinite Light, Incinerator (Spark), and Bolt (Zap) are three best looking one handed weapons in the game. Thus in turn becoming increasingly desirable because of potential of using their skins for dual-wielding and across characters.

I personally gotten Spark right before it shot up to make my Incinerator, solely because I didn’t see a reason to make it before just to have it in one hand. Which would diminish whatever awesome dagger I’d have in the other (Marjory’s Dagger).

Many people finally decided on making their legendaries now more than ever because of potential of using their skin on multiple alts they may have.

The price therefore shot up not because of somebody’s attempt in monopolizing those items, but because the supply was practically drained. When supply goes down and demand goes up, it’s only natural that the price goes up as well.

Colossus was also the case for many WvW veterans wanting to show off their Hammer-Wars and Hammer-Guards in on-going WvW Tournament. Noticed how supply went down right around the time the tournament was announced.

Dusk and Legend are just constantly on high demand as is, so there is no explanation needed for those two.

I’m only surprised that Tooth of Frostfang didn’t shoot up as much as the other ones did.

Lol. This was quite fun and easier than I thought it would be tbh. I still can’t believe we 4-manned more than half of it xD

It would drop price of Spark and/or Zap to the level where it wouldn’t even be worth salvaging in the first place because of the sudden spike in supply.
While idea is interesting, this way of precursor acquisition wouldn’t be worth it to people that already dual wield.

Orpheal.8263:

Mounts would be a good compromise, as long they are restricted to PvE only and can’t be used in towns and ANet would make profits with them too. So everyone wins from that and i can’t believe in it, that anet would be so stupid, to let that easy Cash Cow go just unmilked go by, when there could be no better time for it to milk it out now.

Because Anet is not as pathetic of a sellout as WoW is.

Would you care to elaborate on the new option for Leaders/Officers named “Mission Permission”. Does that only include the world boss events as stated, or does it go as far as giving guilds some actual control over Guild Missions as well. Namely speaking of Challenge, Rush, etc.

Sergoros.4398:

Ah…I get it…Only contestable would be contested. So there would be at least 1 open waypoint on the map. Well…thats endurable. They just doubling wp gold sink and disabling repair/trait gold sink. So its fine.

Repair/trait gold sink < doubling wp gold sink

There is NO comparison. It’s a fact that WP’ing is much more expensive.
