Wasn’t the other 100 expansion threads enough?

“Expansion”, it seems is the new mounts/raids/inspect/<insert tired topic here>.

Enough with the spam already, OP.

It’s funny how people complain about repeat topics but continue to view and reply on those topics. You are not exactly making it better. I honestly don’t care. I also would love to see an expansion.

There was no way to know this was another expansion thread by the title, and I guess we need to break out the Dead Horse again

Great thing about the GW community is that you do have high level friends you just haven’t met them yet. I’m willing to bet if you go to DR or LA and ask in chat you’ll find someone willing to run you to Orr, maybe even a couple of someones

Gummy.4278:

I was wondering if they put really dark outline around those notes falling down would that help you see them? Since the differential between the color on the note and the stage would have a circular line around it showing it off in better detail, if this is so I would back you up on that suggestion. But alas it would be to late to get them to implemented into the game this year.

That might help but a dark line around the inner circle might work just as well and be easier to add in, and thanks for not blowing me off

Ok now that was funny, I didn’t use any questionable language in my post but got a kitten anyway.

Gummy.4278:

I am curious are you color blind, and if so do you see the things moving down to the bottom or is it like its one solid thing?

Yes I am color blind and I see lighter shaded things moving down the area but it’s very difficult for me to tell when they pass from one color to the next. I’ve tried it more then a few times and I’ve been unable to finish even the first easy piece of music. It stinks and I do feel a kitteneated by the way this was set up. I certainly wouldn’t have spent time doing 30 rounds of Snowball Mayhem if I had known it didn’t count towards the Festival, what a waste of time that was.

Ayrilana.1396:

Roundabout.1752:

Do they not count towards A very Merry Wintersday or am I just not doing it right or enough?

Click on the meta achievement and do the ones on the list.

Thanks but I’ve done everything I’m capable of doing and it looks like I just won’t finish the Festival, I tried, I failed, I’m not wasting anymore playtime. The Bell thing is color coded, so for me that’s out and I’ve tried and tried but I haven’t managed the JP yet and even if I did 15 times is a bit much. I would have liked the Laurels and the AP for the Festival but that’s the way it goes. I’ll be more careful of how I spend my time where this game is concerned in the future and at least I won’t waste time doing Tixx.

Thank you for answering, and now I’m annoyed, not at you of course but if activities don’t count towards Wintersday why are they included on the page that holds that information? I wasted time I could have been doing something worthwhile, like failing at the Wintersday JP, I feel so cheated

Do they not count towards A very Merry Wintersday or am I just not doing it right or enough?

GW2 is much better then most games for those of us who don’t process colors but this mini game, is at least for me, undo able I tried I really did but I know when I’m wasting my time. I will someday probably soon do the JP and that is great but I still would like to see a couple of other things in the rotation, after all there are other Wintersday activities

This is my first MMO, it’s a little rough getting the hang of it in the beginning, a suggestion, find and join a friendly Guild it really helps to have people who are experienced in the game to get you started give you hints etc.

Easiest way IMO is the google lots of really good timers out there

Flame of Kryta would be nice

It sure would be nice if new players were given a chance to acquire that item, hint hint.

I don’t have a life I play pretty much everyday but I have friends and family who I know on some days simply do not have the time to do more then sign in say Hi and log out, I am happy that now they are not penalized for being to tired or to busy to play. I’m sorry this new system doesn’t work for you but I am nothing short of thrilled that it works so well for so many people who now won’t be held back by a time gated currency.

Conski Deshan.2057:

I feel that to be a better system as it doesn’t reward check in log out behaviour and more rewards actively playing.

Believe it or not there are people who have such busy lives that on some days they don’t have time for anything but logging in saying Hi to game friends and logging out and even that might be cutting into time they have to little of. I love the new system for them, they aren’t losing out on the 1 currency that can only be gotten 1 way, Anet IMO was thinking of all their players not just the dedicated able to play every single day player. Thank you Anet for giving them the chance to get Laurels too.

I certainly hope there is another way to get it. PvP is the only part of this game I refuse to do no matter what the reward is. I wish I could say Anet and the Devs wouldn’t do this but….

You can have quite a large selection of stats to chose from on an Amulet, just craft a Candy Corn one, not much time savings but hey every little bit helps.

Southsun in the Queen Lair at Ori Node I’m on Blackgate

Casmurro.9046:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/8_Slot_Invisible_Bag
This is one example of an invisible bag, you can buy then from the trade post or craft (armorsmith, tailor and leatherworking can craft bags), but i think you cant access the trade post at lower lvls, you will have to lvl up a bit to unlock that feature.

You can use the TP at any level.

Alga.6498:

If you are going to join your friend’s world server, you either way has to buy Gems, then transfer your account for some amount depends on which server you’re choosing.
You may also transfer your account for free IF, you delete all your characters, which will include all your items, (I think), which will make you to be able to move your account for free to your friend’s world server.

You don’t have to delete your items just put them in your Bank, the one you access from a crafting table not your Guild Bank, your collections metal, wood, foods, orbs etc. will travel just fine too.

In the end if you want something in the game you do what is required to get it. People who want Legendaries craft run Dungeons do World completion and grind for mats and gold like crazy and I’m willing to bet many of them hated at least 1 of those things every bit as much as you hate crafting but they wanted the Legendary enough to do what was necessary to get it. I hate Fractals hate them with a passion but I wanted Mawdrey and I did them because that was the price for me getting want I wanted. Wanting something in this game comes at a price you either pay it or you don’t.

[/quote]

I’m curious: what do you do in game that does not give you loads of ascended materials and karma?[/quote]

I get loads but it costs loads and loads to craft, so as you see I am always short at least 1 load.

I didn’t even mention the Augur Stone that requires Skill Points to purchase another crafting mat that can not be brought with gold. I don’t have a problem with the mats required to craft it is doable if you take the time to play the game and don’t have a, have to have it right this minute, mentality maybe that is why is bothers me so much when posters talk like crafting is just something you can whip out your wallet and do.

[[/quote]

If one wanted to, they could buy gems, convert to gold, and craft all the way up.
Its not hard, its tedious.

Just give us something else. [/quote]

No you can’t. Empyreal Fragments Piles of Bloodstone Dust and Dragonite Ores can not be brought and you need large qualities to craft ascended, Obsidian Shards can be purchased for large amounts of Karma and as a player with a relatively new account I can tell you Karma can be a chore to collect, so all of these items take time and lots of playing the game to collect. Time at the crafting table is just 1 small part of ascended crafting acquiring the mats to do the actual crafting is a big time commitment and shouldn’t IMO be discounted the way you have. I understand you don’t want to craft but please don’t assume that crafting Ascended is something you can just pull out your wallet and buy because you can’t.

Hedgehog in the fog.1053:

Well, there are other options.

Ascended Weapons tokens for doing certain task.

World Completion? Weapon Token
Level 80 in PvP? Weapon Token
Level 40? Fractal? Weapon Token

Things that are attainable.

That, or ascended weapons chests, allow you to choose the stats. I got a ascended armor drop. With clerics stats.

Ascended weapons are barely 1 step down from a Legendary, they should not be available so easily, IMO. I’m not saying that crafting is the only way you should be able to get them, maybe crafters selling them might be Ok, or maybe it would kitten up the economy, I don’t know but nothing on your list measures up, in my opinion.

Hamfast.8719:

Noah.9654:

Realistically, it is actually very possible (and practical) to gain a majority of fighting experience from a professional trade such as crafting. If someone were to spend a lot of time making weapons, surely they would know how to use said weapons once they become an expert—or lv400-500. If someone where to spend a lot of time dealing with magical trinkets or enchanted clothing like the tailors do, an expert would surely be able to hold his/her own in a fight with their magical experience.

Nice try, but I don’t buy it. To get to 80 just playing takes me several weeks of fighting monsters. My Guildie can get to 80 in a day with the aid of crafting. You think that if you went out and spent several weeks in actual combat with your sword, it would be just as instructional as spending an afternoon making swords?

Does a race car mechanic who has spent a day putting together a vehicle know how to win a race just as well as a driver who has had several weeks of firsthand experience?

…Besides, it kinda falls apart when you consider that you can craft your way (mostly) to a level 80 adventurer in something like CHEF, which has very little to do with adventuring.

I want to meet this Guildie of yours.

I have often thought servers should have a Memory Wall, just a place where former players names could be listed it could even include NPCs if the Devs liked. It doesn’t sound hard to put together at least not to me.

I buy mine with Karma as well Craigstead in Wayfayer’s takes a little longer but Karma is easier to come by then gold.

If you don’t care that a payment is required why not just buy another character slot? Lucky for you they are on sale right now at the TP.

thomasgfrerer.3469:

5. Upscaled players: they are most of the time freeloot for lvl 80. My suggestion: Mists for max- and upscaled-lvl as it is, WvWvW for lvl 80 only.

Your’s Tom
Server: Riverside ^( ~ . ~ )^

I see problems with that, people use WvW to save transport fees to LA and to
visit vendor when they need to unload I also see restricting it to 80 as a problem when it comes to map completion. If uplevels have a problem with being walking loot bags they will level up or get better.

caveman.5840:

etom is already a bad thing because it hurts EB/borderland population.

I’m just wondering how you figure EotM hurts EB/Borderland population? People who want to play EB/Borderlands will play there and people who have no intention of ever playing there but want to earn Badges and WvW exp. will play EotMs. Maybe I’m missing something?

Kruhljak.2705:

I’m not all that familiar with the forge’s quirks, so need to ask why I can’t forge 4 soulbound trinkets (all same level and all masterwork in this case), but I can forge 3 of them with any other masterwork weapon or piece of armor (soulbound or not).

Anyone know what’s up here?

Annoying isn’kitten I’ve wondered the same thing myself and none of them were purchased with Karma.

DoctorOverlord.8620:

GamerOnline.3650:

As I recall, I was able to continue my Living Story episode, regardless of the succeeding or failing of the event. It was the participation in it that counted. Never did find a large enough group to succeed.

But yes, one must do what’s needed to advance the story by talking to NPCs, otherwise event participation won’t count.

Wait, you are saying that you never destroyed the Svanir totem? That seems like it is the requirement for advancing to the next cut scene.

You don’t need to do any of the events at Coiled as long as the Gates are open, you can go to the Totem find the spot to interact with it and continue the LS and I’m not guessing I know this for a fact because I’ve been in a party that did it.

I would like to join another Guild, I currently have 3, 2 are private and 1 is a group of RL friends with no pressure. I would like a Guild that does Bounties and that has no rep. requirement I’ll happy buy drinks to replace the influence they won’t get from me for repping. does that sound unreasonable?

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I had a Halloween daily left over on my HUD. I went into the Watch list and unticked it, and it disappeared from the upper right.

Maybe because it is today’s daily, as well, you will have to wait until tomorrow, but that should not be the case. Choose different dailies to show up, and that one should disappear.

There is a default when nothing is chosen, remember.

Thank you I went into the Watch List, I can honestly say that I had never noticed that list before, I unclicked the offending Daily and my screen is clean, thank you both so much.

Getefix.9150:

go into the achievements section, watch list, and then take the halloween ones off your watch list

I thought of that too but it was a Daily and now there is no where to remove it. Worse it was Costume Brawl which is one of today’s Daily I did it and got nothing.

Text still on the right hand top of my screen and it won’t go away and I’m pretty sure Halloween is over

Climation.3496:

2.) What is a good race that goes with warrior and What’s a good DPS build for EOTM/PVE?

Thanks

Human for your Warrior they are quick and in EoTM quick counts.

Sorry to be off topic but I have a question if you don’t mind. I know next to nothing about WvW so when you say exit WvW, I’m confused, the only way I know to leave WvW is to use a port so how else do you leave WvW?

Nvm I got it

I am telling you what I know from personal experience, you do not need to do the events to do the Living Story and using that as an excuse to go after people you call greedy is just being toxic, something I thought most people here are against. I’m sure waiting a few minutes until the event succeeds or fails is a tremendous burden on some, I mean it not like they can join in grab a few bags and enjoy themselves until it’s over, now it it?

Except for the part where the farming never ends… sure.

The farming does end when the events succeeds or fails the farming ends until reset.

I feel like you’re being purposefully dense here. And it’s really tells a lot about mentality of the so called community when people who want to play the game as it’s designed are the ones who are being called toxic.

Calling people greedy and belittling them because they don’t play the way you want them to is, what, if not toxic? People purposely going to events or areas they know people are farming and then doing everything they can to antagonize them is again what if not toxic? Until recently Coil was ignored by most people it seemed they mapped it and never went back unless they were looking for events for their Dailies or Monthlies. I can’t help how you feel and calling me dense well I’ll just leave that alone

Gedekran.1487:

You may not have to do the events to progress the Living Story, but someone has to do them so the gates open. Simple as that. If someone else hadn’t done at least the Coil Watch and Dolyak events, you would not have been able to get past the gates.

True, I’m not arguing that, I’m really not trying to argue about anything, just saying what I know to be true from what I’ve seen with my own eyes. I hope everyone has fun playing and if farming is fun for some, let them, I know no one likes to wait even a few minutes to get things done when they are on a mission to completion but seriously IMO people need to lighten up at least a little bit.

Using the Living Story as an excuse to grief the farmers is nonsense, you don’t have to even do the Coiled Watch events to do the Living Story just go there and find the spot to enter the instance. I just this afternoon did this with a friend of mine, no event going, at least be honest about why you’re going after the Farmers.

Actually you’re wrong. You have to do coiled watch because it’s the event that opens the doors so you can get in inside to the place where the story is.

Don’t like people interfering with your farm? Go somewhere else.

You can farm in other areas. You can’t finish the living story in other areas.

Greedy little farmers and their illogical arguments.

Actually you’re wrong and you apparently didn’t read what I posted. We weren’t farming we went there after doing the Giant Ooze to unlock a trait and then because 1 of our party had a green star on her map we went to Coiled. We did not do any events there because there weren’t any going on, perhaps the Doors stay open until the event resets, I don’t know I haven’t been there often enough to know how that event chain works I just know you don’t need the event to get the Living Story because we did it and did not do the events.

I’ve been hopping map to map in PvE and WvW and something that seems to carry over to every one of them is something as close to hate as I would ever want to see in a game. WvWer’s hate PvE achievement point farmers PvE players seem to want to go after anyone playing in an area to extract as much from it as possible, I don’t get it. All I’m asking is why?

You can’t forge ascended weapons, maybe save it for another toon?

Zaxares.5419:

Make sure you’re learning the Truffle Steak DINNER recipe, not the Truffle Steak one. A number of people have gotten caught out by this too.

Thank you I will go check it now. You were right, so again thank you

I forged the recipes and then consumed them but 1 is not credited to the collection.

Silvia.9130:

One thing I will never understand EVER is why people feel so stressed, angered and aggressive towards anyone tagging up…don’t get me wrong, I tag up only when I must and extremely rarely, but personally, I don’t really see a problem if there are even 200000 tags around me. -except in WvW-
Thus, I can’t help but think that the hate comes from jealousy.

For me personally, all those Tags are usually just distracting, I wonder is there something going on I should rush to, other times they are just annoying like when I’m trying to WP but can’t because there are Tags completely covering the Wp with their multi color little triangles. I thought the whole purpose of tagging up was to Lead ppl in an event or help others when they need a hand in mapping or something like that. No jealousy involved just annoyance I would love the option to ignore all Tags and I hope Anet adds it soon.

If I hadn’t used Dulfy I would have wasted so much time chasing collections I would never finish, Fractals, I hate them with a white hot passion and I’ll be boiled in oil before I ever do them for a measly 3 ap.
