Marriage

I’m cool with marriage in the game. I would even be cool with a silly title or note next to your name (“Bound” or “married” or whatever). Any other extras or benefits related to it? Nope.

Triple Trouble

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

Just my experience in the past …
I landed on a megaserver shard with TxS killing the three worms shortly after the megaserver update came out. This was my first and only time I was able to see this happen (I am stuck at one kill and two heads severed ever since). I kept the commander on my friends list. When I asked him a few weeks late if he was willing to taxi me to an organized attempt if the map was not full already I got the reply that he and the guild in general will not do that, because you have to join the guild for this service.
I have no idea if TxS is still holding on to this elitist crap, but I have not tried to get the Triple Trouble off my to-to list ever since, although I would like to see it be done.

I wouldn’t call that elitism. As the other person said, it’s a way to try to get as many guild members (who likely can join the guild without any requirements other than repping during the events) onto the same map as possible with as few pugs (who are more likely to not know what to do as well as less likely to listen in on TS to get caught up) as possible.

Best method to switch servers?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

Yup, deleting all characters lets you switch for free. Nothing fishy at all; it’s a truly legit way to transfer for free. But the free transfer comes at the cost of losing all your gold and gear and such if you don’t move it first.

WvW mismatch fix

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

I know it’s frustrating, but it’s not up to Anet to tell players which mode to play. If your server lacks in numbers for wvw (which I can sympathize with), then you should either look into transferring to one that has a reputation for being a heavy wvw server or try to make do with what you have.

I was thinking about getting some practice on Pig Iron Quarry and Under New Management so I can add them to the rotation. I had also forgot about Spelunker’s Delve, may give that one another go.

Under New Management takes even less time than Urmaug in LA. Definitely consider adding it to your rotation. So easy.

Interview with Leah Hoyer

RoseofGilead.8907

I just hope there’s more concern for serious and adult storytelling. Her Disney background is leaving me rather skeptical.

The fact that she’s from Disney doesn’t worry me, but this quote from the interview does;
“The thing about television is that television from the get-go assumes that story is the most important thing,” Hoyer said. “And because of that, they’ve gotten really good at telling stories”

Storytelling on television is quite anemic, Two and a half Men anyone?!

Using a sitcom as an example isn’t the best thing. :p Carnivale, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones (even though it’s based on actual novels, it’s also got kitten good screenwriters and tells the story in its own way), etc. Those are good examples of how TV can tell good stories and be very good at it.

No, there’s no bomb. Go in the house, and then go down to the basement. Then look around for a tunnel out to the next area.

My gameplay experience is not the same as yours. Just seems like you made a post to complain and bash.

Meanwhile no one in my guild complains of massive lag or disconnects.

You really can’t read, can you?

Nope, I read your post just fine, and then I commented that no one I play with is having the same troubles. My point is that the issue is probably not as widespread as you think and, thus, would be better solved by either posting in the tech issues forum or by putting in a ticket with support.

No, you’ll always have to pay a fee (and that fee goes up as your sell price goes up). So, if you sell for the Highest Buyer price rather than lowest seller, it’ll be a lower fee, but you’ll still have to pay it.

Silverwastes and Magic Find - rules changed?

in Living World

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

The magic find boost for the Perserverance buff doesn’t affect what you get from champ loot bags.

“Bonus Magic Find When Opening Lost Bandit Chests.”

That only affects what you get from opening the Lost Bandit chests (ie. increases your chance of higher tier mats or a rare instead of a masterwork item). The other MF boost (+30 or whatever) works as it normally does, affecting the quality of your drops (better tier mats, more supply bag-type items, better chance at rares or exotics, etc.).

The flamethrower being used is likely the consumable Jezza’s Flamethrower. It’s probably just some weird thing that, using the consumable with the tonic, bypassed the fact that it’s not a combat tonic.

Hidden Arcana "Exposed Weakness" bugged

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

Is anyone else seeing this problem? I got my achievement no problem, but we’ve run this 5 times and my wife still hasn’t been able to get it. She’kittenting the big guy, killing the little ones once they all have rings but to no avail. Other party members have gotten it every time we tried but she still doesn’t have it.

If you’re doing the same achievement the OP is talking about, you don’t need to touch the big guy. You wait for the fragility field to drop, pick it up, run to a vortex, and let it remove the Fragility from you. Then you don’t kill it. Just leave it, and wait for another fragility field to run to another vortex. Repeat until they all have taken the Fragility debuff, and then kill them all as quickly as possible. The boss will go from full health to dead once you’re done killing them.

Why does Arenanet Punish Solo Play?

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

As someone else already said, you don’t have to explode the mines to get the achievement; all you have to do is set the charge. I even did both of the mine achievements in the same instance (didn’t set them on the way up, and then set them after the helicopter showed up).

And, with the exception of the Dancer in the Dark achievement for the most recent LS, I have had absolutely no trouble doing any of the chapters or achievements solo. So, I can’t say my experience has been the same as yours.

Well, if you’re yelling obscenities and such in chat, you’re being obnoxious and probably warrant a block.

OP, even if you hate JPs, there are other achievements you can do by only doing PvE. Also, according to your screenshot, you need less than 20 events to be done; also, PvPers only have three achievements they can do only in PvP. Why exactly are you crying foul?

Record yourself breaking it down with a salvage kit. Or record yourself dragging it out of your inventory, confirm deletion, and delete.

well my issue is that i got the skins on low lvl equips and i wanna switch it to my legacy armour so the look like Magitech but seems like i have to buy transmutations for that

What legacy armor are you referring to? I’m just curious.

And yeah, you’ll have to have transmutation charges for those, but they’re easy to come by.

Outfits are different from armor skin sets. Outfits replace the entire look of your armor to an outfit. Using an outfit or removing it doesn’t cost transmutation charges, and you can use them anytime.

Sleeping Beauty says hello for adult storytelling. Likewise, “Aladdin”, despite having ol Robin Williams . . . or how about other things, like Pete’s Dragon? (Hey, child slavery! >thumbsup<) Or Black Hole?

I know they’re synonymous with “lighter and softer” but seriously . . . Disney had enough to hit people hard. Want proof? I’m about to say something, so trigger warning for an entire generation:

So basically i have to suffer losing all my gold to this ‘person’ ( i would call him somthing else) on being deceived and lied to and he probably will just get a slap on the wrist to not do it again? Tell me why i should continue to play right now.

How is it anet’s fault that you agreed to give him that much gold? It’s in their terms that non TP-based transactions are NOT advised and that players participate them at their own risk. I do sympathize with you, but you can hardly blame anet for this.

I think someone dieing isn’t making a great story at all. Use this once and it can be quite emotional (Tybalt for example). Use it all the time and the effect wear off quite fast. It’s a boring trick to eliminate the characters you like again and again and again.

Yeah, I’d have to agree with that. Not every story has to have the George RR Martin treatment.

The skins do change the look of the armor. I’m not sure what issue you’re having here. You only get one free use of the skins, though. The other times will require transmutation charges.

Black lion keys have always (except for right after launch) been extremely rare drops. I’ve gotten maybe three since launch, outside of Personal Story/Living Story, map completion, or the gem store. So, not getting those is the norm.

Dyes don’t ever drop anymore; they were removed as a drop back when they made identified dyes account bound. You can only get them from the gem store, TP, black lion chests, or the laurel vendors now, I believe.

As for other drops, I haven’t noticed a change in the rate of good drops for me. I have good days, and I have bad days.

Grief Knockdown?

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

Not to derail the topic, but similar (and odd): at Teq, a commander (!), pre-event, called out “Stack on me”. Many did, and something he did knocked folks back, and (I think) downed some. I don’t have any idea what it was (I told the cmdr that folks might not listen to his instructions during event…).

Any ideas? I really didn’t understand what happened so I may have mis-interpreted what I saw.

Was he standing on a spot where a fish head spawns?

Yeah, it looks like the trailer shows a younger Caithe and Faolain, plus the time when Asura were experimenting on the Sylvari. So we’ll either be playing as one of them (in a flashback) or watching the events. It looks really neat. I’m kind of excited.
