Guild Wars 2

I’d love to have my prestige armor set skins available in GW2. Love my Sunspear Elite Dervish armor. And my Monument Warrior armor.

Khisanth.2948:

That wouldn’t have applied for when I did it with my friend since the NPC can’t be both dead and alive at the same time.

We better make sure her name isn’t Lionguard Schrödinger, just in case.

Pokecenter.3548:

I think (quite often) that i should play gw1 again. I got Nightfall, Prophecies, EotN (was starting on these when some of you guys were on your first gw2 year) but barely explored them. Only did ~75% of the Nightfall and Prophecies campaign and found my way to the EotN. Feels such like a waste. Anyone knows if the gw1 community is still active at all? And would you really need 4k hours for the 50/50? Or you guys think that having experienced gw2 for a while now, it wouldn’t make sense to go back to the original?

GW1 is still pretty active. I always see at least a couple of people in each outpost I go to, and there are always tons hanging around in Kamadan for trading and such.

No, you can’t see your armor pieces at all when you’re wearing an outfit, even if a corresponding piece isn’t available on the outfit.

It’s probably Abyss. Abyss is the darkest black dye in the game. Midnight Ice can look very, very dark black on some armor pieces, too.

Your second picture shows what’s in the heroic chest. You could try putting in a ticket with Customer Service, to see if they’d replace it, but I don’t know if they will. That’s really your only option, though.

Can you tell me which MMO you played that has these hostilities? Currently playing Free trial WoW and Rift. So far, I don’t see any of these hostile duelers.

Tell me which MMO and I’ll give it a try to see if you are right.

My experience in WoW with duelers was similar but not quite as bad as charr’s. Anytime I’d run through Goldshire on my server, I’d usually be slammed with duel requests. At least a couple of times a week, I’d have some random kitten follow me around, spamming the duel request and PMing me when I’d decline. The language was never really hostile, but it was pretty darn irritating.

Oddly enough, this only happened in Goldshire. Anytime I’d be running around the giant duel area in front of Orgrimmar, I’d be left alone. But anyway, yeah. People can be and often are annoying little terrors.

Has this experience happened recently?

Currently, I am running around in Goldshire looking to see if someone is going to duel me. So far, no luck.

It was over the past year or two. I haven’t played in a couple of months, though. Keep in mind that different servers will have different populations of people in different areas.

It definitely seems to be rolled on opening. Using champ loot bags as an example: If you kill a champ on a level 30 character and then give said bag to a level 80 character to open, the loot will be level 80 loot.

Braham’s mace is also not there. They bring back the Destiny’s Edge 2.0 weapons every so often.

I had trouble with this one the first time I took a character through it; I subsequently chose the other option for every other one (save for my mesmer, whom I decided to try it on again for fun).

This method is a bit longer, but it’s worked for me:

I’d recommend camping a ranged weapon for most of it (just have one equipped as your secondary set when you start the fight). Hide behind the pillar to the Mouth’s left side. Pop out to pull the guys circling him, and take them down in small groups (or one by one). The minimap will have a ping when the couriers spawn, so you should be able to get them down in time each time.

Once all the guys around the boss are gone, your allies will all respawn. Use that as a chance to run in and damage him in melee (axe mainhand will be your best DPS). Try to keep up the melee as long as you can, dodging his knockdown and all that. Once he hits 50%, he’ll spawn his circle of mobs again. You can retreat back to the pillar, if you want to, and start pulling them again to repeat the process.

If you’re not doing enough damage, consider bringing consumables. Food that gives you more power would be good. Undead potions should work, too. Fire elemental powder, ogre pet whistles, and things like that can help you when you’re burning down the Mouth. Plus, bringing either For Great Justice or a banner (either Discipline or Strengh) would be good, as would popping Signet of Rage.

Servers are never full to the point that someone can’t log on; this game operates differently from WoW when it comes to servers. The only time you’d experience a queue to play is for wvw, usually on reset nights. YB has a high wvw population. I’m not sure what their pve population is like, but every pve map (and the pvp lobby) is now a megaserver, compiled of players from multiple servers. So, you should be able to find people in whichever map you go to.

You can see a list of servers when you log in by clicking on World Selection. All servers are currently listed as “Very High” population.

All dwarves were turned to stone after the Rite of the Great Dwarf (which happened in GW1 Eye of the North). Some were immediately turned to stone and went down into battle against the destroyers. The few who were either elsewhere when the rite happened or who elected to stay behind (like Ogden) were eventually compelled to also become stone. Ogden is supposedly the last dwarf on the surface of Tyria (and possibly the last one alive).

What’s the exploit?

- That dungeon rewards are not given for completing the dungeon from start to finish, but when the last boss dies or last cutscene is played. Since rewards are scaled based on how difficult the dungeon path is, I believe the reward is intended for full completion.

Other people in the thread have posted links that show the devs of this game do not consider dungeon selling or buying to be an exploit.

It seems to be pretty buggy. My husband has done the event twice with me, both times getting gold credit for killing the boss (and getting the daily chest and boss chest for finishing), but he still hasn’t unlocked the achievement.

videoboy is correct. Until you real level 80, the wvw armor vendor will only have the basic things. Once you hit 80, then you’ll have the option to get skins, too.

You can get it from karma merchants, as well.

Yeah, I don’t think asking for “donations” is accepted.

How is it a scam?

- Selling something you don’t own is fraud. How did these sellers get into the position where they are selling the path anyway? Did the seller secure their position by being the instance owner, almost complete the instance with the help of party and then kick them out?

1. The many legit sellers got into that position by starting a solo run, and doing the path on their own (or, in the case of particular bosses, by enlisting help from friends or other players). They simply run the paths enough to know the mechanics of each encounter and, thus, learn to solo it all.

2. There isn’t an Instance Owner anymore. And more often than not, the path is not one that was stolen from another player/players.

Source? I want to be sure before I offer to help my guildies with their scavenger hunt for the next 3 days…

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/when-is-the-winter-event-going-to-end/first#post4638769

It’s completely legit and shouldn’t be reported unless you get scammed or you can see that the seller used exploits to do the run.

If you want a direct response, you should try submitting a support ticket. Stamping your feet here won’t get anything done.

It’s next Tuesday.

That’s the first time I’ve ever seen that combo pack listed. I think there was one other time when the tools were discounted (but it wasn’t by much). So, no, they’re not a frequent occurrence.

They put the copper salvage-o-matic on sale once or twice, but, again, it’s not a frequent thing.

1. It’s not really a waste if you have a ton of boosters, a ton of karma, and don’t care about keeping those boosters.

2. Glory doesn’t exist, so there’s no use for the boosters anymore. Just destroy.

3. I’ve used a gathering booster once, and I didn’t notice enough of a boost in materials to warrant using one again. Those just get turned into enchanted boosters if I get dust.

4. Magic find affects the quality of loot you get from the corpses of mobs/other players. So, if you don’t do activities where you kill mobs or other players, then there’s not much point in using a MF booster. Unless you’re doing PvP, in which case reward track containers are affected by MF.

I’d imagine most drop rate charts and results won’t be fully compiled and posted until Wintersday is officially done.

I love my necro. She’s my main, and I do dungeons, other basic pve, and wvw with her. It’s really a fun class, and I’ll never stop playing her. That being said, necros aren’t often wanted for many dungeon groups due to our lack of skills that help the group. So, if she’s wanting mostly dungeon runs, she might want to check out guardian or mesmer rather than necro. Both are very useful in dungeons and fractals. Guardian is the easier of the two to master, and you have lots of helpful group things.

Honestly, though, there’s no reason she can’t make one of each (necro, guard, and mesmer), mess around to see how she likes each, and then pick from there.

Red dye is cheap (less than 20s). But I’d go for a darker red. Oxblood is a good one (sell price around 80s, I think).

Depending on the armor type (medium, light, or heavy), Midnight Ice could work as a substitute. On light armor and heavy armor, however, it tends to look more blue than it does on medium. Other possibilities could be Iron (very cheap), Ebony (one of the starter dyes), Pitch (around 1g), etc.

White can be done with Mithril, Icing, or certain pastel colors on certain armor types.

lol. Wow, you actually made/used four separate accounts. This is just getting sad now.

You have to start with the Bounty Training and Bounty (not trek; my bad), which cost no Merit to unlock and build. Once you start doing Bounties (not training), you start earning Merits.

You necroed a long-dead post to talk to yourself? Fun stuff.

Guilds are no longer server-based, so you could join any guild on any server. Try posting over in the Dungeon subforums, specifically here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Dungeon-Mentors-Noob/first

That guild/group of guilds specializes in teaching people who are new to dungeons. There are other guilds who do the same thing; you’d just have to do some poking around to find one that works for you.

Unless you want to move to a server that does differently in wvw, there’d be no need for you to change servers.

You can enter into the dungeons on any level character, I believe. You just have to be in a party with someone in the dungeon and have said character parked somewhere inside the same zone as the dungeon (in the case of CoF, that’d be Fireheart Rise). So, you’d need to run your lowbie to the zone of the dungeon, do the dungeon up to the boss (or up to a certain hp % on the boss) on your high level character, switch characters, and then click on the prompt to enter the dungeon again.

If you plan to do this, always make sure you let the rest of your party know BEFORE starting the dungeon.

I haven’t had that problem.

I’m not affected in any way by people using macros for the instruments; I say let them keep with it. That being said, some part of me gets annoyed with the idea of not actually “playing” the instrument yourself; however, I also realize that annoyance is slightly irrational.

As long as you’re playing the game, you’ll never really stop getting skill points. You get 8 skill points at levels 20, 26 and 32; 7 at levels 38, 44, 50 and 56; and 6 at levels 62, 68, 74 and 80. You also get one skill point for each skill point challenge you do (each zone has many of these). Once you’re level 80 you continue to get a skill point every time you “level up”. Also, champion loot bags will often drop skill point scrolls.

The only merchants in-game that take Skill Points as currency are the Mystic Forge Attendants and profession trainers. The forge attendants sell you things you need to make weapons or weapon components in the forge; so, you won’t really need to use that vendor until you decide to make one of those weapons. The profession trainers let you trade skill points + gold for skills, so that you don’t have to go out into the world and do the task assigned to unlock that skill point.

Since you only get points in increments before hitting level 80, you do need to make sure you don’t waste the skill points on skills that are useless. If you’re unsure as to what skills are good, you could look up a guide or ask in the forums.

PaxTheGreatOne.9472:

Other options:
(Ranger: 175 Power, 100 ferocity, +7% dmg having an elemental, minion, illusion (,mini?))
(Pack: 175 power, 125 precision, +30% swiftness duration, 25% to give (might, fury and swiftness (10s)) when struck (20s cd)) (Just think about this one!)
(Ruby Orbs: 120 power, 84 precision 84 ferocity)

Ranger runes are Precision, not Power. And I do believe that the mini thing does still work.

Yeah, risen krait won’t count because they’re technically Risen, not Krait. So, kill any other krait types, and pray to RNGesus.

How about “Legendary Defender of [Shaemoor, Black Citadel, the Dream, etc.]”?
You must reach level 80 without leaving the first instance.

100% hardcore PvP player-base gets title done in the time it takes to double click 80 (or 1+60) tomes of knowledge…

You can access a bank in the first instance?

If you have the golem banker on your account, you can access it there. But I’m pretty sure you can’t level in the beginning instances.

Yeah, that’s not a bug. You always have a mail send animation when you post to the TP. You’re just actually seeing it more clearly now that you’re using a different mail delivery option.

Serbianwolf.1652:

well, if the community cries so much about the same stuff all over again since launch, why don’t they make it happen? What is stopping them? Its time ANET give us straight answer, clean and reasonable(specially cuz they have team for that now).

Part of it is probably because only a portion of the community cries about wanting these issues. For every poster who says “Put in duels/mounts/raids” there will be another poster who says “Don’t put in duels/mounts/raids”. Just look at the many, many, many threads about these things to see the divide in the community.

But I think the main part is just that Anet doesn’t WANT to work on those things right now.

I’ve also never had trouble coming up with names. The few times the name was taken, I was able to either come up with something new or change the spelling/characters so that it worked.

I think OP’s suggestion would be pretty unfair to players who have to go inactive (deployment, extended travel obligations, or any other reason) for an extended period. Maybe if they could manage to isolate only perma-banned accounts and release THOSE names, I’d be cool with that. But otherwise, nope. Just find ways around your issue that won’t penalize other players.

My 6 year-old was very impressed by the gymnastics, as well.

To the person who bought them, they have value as going towards making a legendary or whatever.

To anyone but that person, they’re worthless (because account bound).

No, it’s really better to just go ahead and get to 500. The ascended things you can make at 450 are refined bloodstone/empyreal/dragonite and the ecto refinement items (just a couple of those, and they can only be made once per day) for bolts/ingots/squares, and you’ll quickly max out of the exp gained from those.

Chest is definitely Flame Legion (CoF). The chest for that covers up any leg armor, so there’s no telling what legs are there. The boots are Ascalonian Performer shoes (AC), and I think the shoulders are the Conjurer’s mantle. Gloves are hidden.

Rampage.6489:

Im currently stuck for hours since I need to go to a region I have no idea how to get to

Where are you trying to get to, and where are you now?

He doesn’t give you a backpack skin anymore.

Nope. As long as you have the correct LS episodes unlocked, you can get all the things you need for it.

You could look to the character creation screens for inspiration. I believe each class has specific colors when looked at during character creation. I guess the stereotypical ones would be:

Mesmer – pinks/purples
Necro – sickly greens/blacks
Ranger – browns and earthy colors
Warrior – oranges/golds
Guardian – Silvers/blues
Thief – Blacks/dark colors

Elementalist could change based on attunements. Browns for earth, reds/oranges for fire, blues for water, and light colors for air.

Engineer, again, could be based on which type of play.

-_- drat, was hoping it was a way around the impossible to get recipes for the endless tonics. Thanks!

If you combine 10 each t2-5 snowflakes, you will receive either 5 gifts or an endless tonic.

It’ll only give you gifts.

i got 2 tonics this way, toymaker and gift dolyak

That’s very odd, considering they’re only obtainable by making them with the recipe.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/New-Mystic-Forge-Recipe/first#post4631506

Personally, i havent got one of the craftable endless tonics but someone else got 1.

The craftable tonics are also available from wintersday gifts and the pvp reward track.

Ohhhh THOSE tonics. For some reason my brain didn’t register that the dolyak and toymaker ones aren’t the craftable ones. My bad!

But yeah, only the recipes drop for the other ones (from pvp or pve gift boxes).
