think anet should charge a sub

I can afford to pay a subscription fee, but I see no value in doing so. I do not see the extra value in each month that the $15 a month pays for in WoW as compared to Guild Wars 2 model.

I need to feel like I am actually getting something every month for that $15 a month, and no MMO with a subscription fee has that.

Yup, that sums up how I feel about it.

Apparently GW2 is the MMO of choice for poor people. Unless you are only working a minimum wage job and supporting a family on that, then I don’t see why this would inspire so many people to quit.

You must be a delight at parties.

You don’t even need it. You don’t get a reward or achievement for giving it to the skritt. She just spins around and calls herself a Storm Wizard until she falls over.

If GW2 ever goes subscription, I’ll be quitting. I just can’t justify a subscription fee, no matter how much I enjoy the game.

Bite sized candy corn elementals on kill?

RoseofGilead.8907

Yes, maize balm lets you throw it onto an ambient or group of ambients in order to turn them into bite sized candy corns, which you can kill for one Trick or Treat bag per mob. And since the mobs have the same HP as the ambients, they die in one hit or with a quick aoe.

Faolain, the American Sylvari

Her accent isn’t just because she’s young, it changes several times throughout the entire sequence, and within an instance. One comment it is a British accent, next moment she’s Americanized. I noticed it the first time through.

This. That’s what I meant by inconsistent accent. It’s not a case of “Oh, well she’s so much younger!”. It’s a case of sloppy voice acting. And yeah, it’s not a major issue, but it’s still disappointing.

Yes, it was obviously a different actress. Regardless, it bothers me that the actress didn’t even really try to 1) match the previous actress’ voice and 2) maintain a consistent accent.

Fractal Noob Q

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

You need five people. For the low fractals, it doesn’t matter who is in your party. It takes 5 pristine relics to make a Mists Stone, not 15; you get one pristine relic per fractal set completed. So, all you have to do is run a set of fractals (each set has four maps) every day for five days, and you’re done. I’d just stick to scale 9 or less, since you’re new to them. Even scale 1 will give you a pristine relic as long as you finish the fourth map.

Look up Fractals guides to see the details for each map.

Gw2 Suggestions - Please change the game

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

1. GW1 didn’t have elves. They only had humans for playable characters. The game got along just fine without anything else. GW2 gets along fine with its version of elves (Sylvari). A game doesn’t have to have the exact same stereotypical races in order to be a good game.

2. I’ve never seen GW2 as a medieval fantasy game. That may have been YOUR assumption going into it, but it certainly wasn’t mine. Giant mushrooms and fairies are NOT major parts of RPGs or MMOs to me. Realistic? I’m sorry, but come on. There are Skritt, centaurs, talking frogs (who do all sorts of magic), dragons, minions of dragons, etc. Then there’s the fact that one of the playable races are GROWN FROM A TREE. Another one of the races are cat/cow things. Yet another are tiny potatoes with bat ears who make robots with magic. Then there are elementalists, necromancers, guardians (with their spirit weapons and healing spells), mesmers, etc. Yeah, that’s all way realistic. :p

Maybe I’m the weird one here, but I don’t need my game to look like a Lisa Frank painting in order for me to think it’s a fantasy game.

So, I've decided to come back.

Instrument macros and blocking musicians

RoseofGilead.8907

I suppose the elitist attitude can be found in all aspects of GW2 now, even the musically inclined. How very sad.

If wanting people to actually play the instrument (or game) instead of using a pre-programmed macro to do it for them makes me an elitist, I shall don that title proudly.

Champ bags-when do the dice roll?

Yeah, it has to be on opening. Back when the Queensdale champ train ran, I’d take my lowbie alts in there to level up a bit. I’d save my champ bags to open on my 80s, though. And I’d get the typical gear I would any other time I’d open on my 80s. So, yup, on open.

Make sure you have a sword equipped when look in your wardrobe otherwise it won’t show up.

That’s not completely true. If you’re looking at your Bank Wardrobe, it shows all skins no matter what. However, if you’re just looking at your Hero Panel’s Wardrobe, then yes, you have to have the item equipped to see possible skins.

I have a question about Heritage Armor. Is it worth buying Eye of the North for? I have GW1 and a lvl10 character but I don’t know how easy it is to get all the skins, but it looks really cool.

Well, it’s worth it if you want more skins and AP. If you don’t want the skins or don’t care about AP, it’s not worth it.

My husband and I both got Eye of the North a few months ago just to do the HoM stuff, really. It didn’t take us very long to beat it, and we’re both about 15-20 points into the HoM now (I have a few more points since I have Factions and Nightfall, whereas he just has Prophecies and EoTN).

How long does it take? Are there better skins to get that I can apply infinitely?

Look at the link randulf shared above and type your name into the field. It’ll show you all the rewards (click on one of the icons under Reward Meter to bring up a picture of the skin, mini, or pet you’d get for each point). As for how long it took, with the two of us playing a couple of hours every night, I think it took three weeksish? Maybe less?

It says I’ve earned 3/50
Heritage Great coat, Jerkin and Warplate

and 3 weeks? O.o

As I said, that was us playing just a little bit of time at night. And not every day. Plus, I also said I wasn’t sure exactly how long it took. :p Plus, it’s an expansion. It’s not like it’s some very short DLC.

And yes, you get three points for linking your accounts.

I have full sets on 10 chars, and salvage o matics on 12. I could choose which I could keep and I’d probably keep 1 from each set, and still have 18 or so redundant… , and 11 salvage kits. It’s about 22k gems…

Yeah, stun/daze won’t ever last that long unless you’re getting slammed by several mobs over and over. Cripple and immobilize definitively can, though.

And yeah, many of the Mordrem mobs have tougher attacks.

You will need to level up your character enough to start EOTN (level 20 iirc). Then it’s fairly small effort to get the requisite points.

https://hom.guildwars2.com/en/#page=welcome

That link will make sense when you unlock Hall of Monuments in EOTN (its near the start of the story)

You can go in with level 10. You and any heroes/henchmen are scaled up, basically. You also level faster because you get more exp.

armor durability, game installation

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

Every time you die, a piece of armor gets damaged. You have six armor pieces and a back piece (if equipped) that have to each get damaged before a piece breaks. So, assuming you have all seven items equipped, if you die seven times and don’t repair your armor, a piece of your armor will “break” on your next death; this means that the piece that broke will no longer give you any stat benefits. This happens regardless of your class or race.

Exactly that. A couple of my guildies got lucky and got into an instance where two popped during one run, and then the other two popped during the next run. The day after the content went in, I got lucky and zoned into maps just as a boss I needed was up. But then it took me four or five days of waiting to get the last boss I needed (and I only got it because a guildie was in an instance where it popped up and let me know).

No skill or real effort is needed; just luck.

They’re using that upgrade (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Poly-luminescent_Undulating_Refractor_%28Orange%29 ) that makes them glow orange; it’s not a dye. As for the armor, it’s nearly impossible to tell, other than the helm which is TA heavy. Shoulders MIGHT be TA, but I’m not 100% sure.
