Guild Wars 2

HOLY CRAP THEY LISTENED

THANKS ANET! I totally just bought like 4 new tabs.

when was the last time we saw those even go on sale? seriously, i’d love a 20% off sale for them.. or higher, if youre feeling generous!

I would like some response on this too, been doing Sunrise in the meantime, but i cant make Eternity from just one sword.

yep, twilight crafting completely bugged because Modniir Ulgoth is giving the wrong prize.

Completion of the Modnir Ulgoth event in Harathi Hinterlands is rewarding “Overlord’s Defeat” from his chest, instead of “Modniir’s Ruin”

Overlord in Kessex Hills possibly bugged as well, but I cannot say for certain, though it does not give the Modniir item by mistake, so they arent swapped.

Im looking for some official answer on this one, a source showing a precise answer

The blog.

I didnt see anything that said specifically that it applies ONLY to the new legendaries, just that it was the new way to make a legendary. which, loosely implies it will replace the current system, even for old legendaries. i know it sounds dumb to some, but i’d still like a clear answer on this.

Im looking for some official answer on this one, a source showing a precise answer

Got a big question involving that recent post.. you said the Legendary will be completed by doing a fourth collection after the precursor is made, and then all these new items and such… well that begs the question, will OLD legendaries use this NEW formula? or will we be able to create, for example, Dusk, and then combine it in the mystic forge with the current requisite items to create Twilight?

i dont see much of a negative to this. there were no keys in pvp before, now there will be some. be grateful? they chose to put them in non-repeatable tracks for obvious reasons… and theyre gonna be in at least 8 new reward tracks(one for each rank) at least they didnt decide to just remove the keys from personal story altogether.

Im more worried about how many we get.. if we need 100 just for one piece of the precursor, what if we only get 1 per instance in the track, meaning 2 total? that would be absolutely bonkers. needing to complete 50 tracks would be WAY too much time. i could see 25 shards per instance being good. if it was 100 shards per track i’d be perfectly happy but thats wishful thinking, i think. though it would still be 4 days for that entire track, in custom farming… but being tradeable is nice. that way people who dont want to participate in the precursor crafting can sell them off, make a little extra cash, or give them to a friend to help THEM out…

cant even get the devs to comment on it anymore.. goin on two years since it was last available to us. Are you really SO sure its not going to be worth it, ANet? or is this actually NCSoft bearing down on you?

either way, it IS a general effect i would love to see, just without the loss of the scythe blade on top.

It does

you cheated for that :p it only showed up because you used the glider.

it feels powerful, yes, but I dont think its overpowered. fact is, you DO need to be in reaper shroud long enough to GET those 25 stacks. auto attack is slower when you dont hit anything, and they have no ranged attacks in shroud.. just the one leap. so any ranged attacker with any amount of control can easily stop a reaper from getting close, even with all those stacks of might at their disposal. honestly i see no difference bwteen this, and a thief’s ability to get insta-kills using a backstab. i dont think the trait needs reworking at all. it actually makes Necro a formidable player in the hands of a skilled melee player, and gives necro some real power in PvE, not just more condi.

seriously, SUPER agree with this. i LOVE reaper, and im probably gonna play it forever.. if i have Eternity, im gonna be sad that everytime i go into Shroud, that GIGANTIC scythe isnt affected at all by my sword. i know it sounds like im being sarcastic, but im not, i really do wanna see that giant scythe in Reaper Shroud skinned to match the weapon somehow. it could have the frosty aura from frostfang, or the nightfall effect of twilight, maybe give off a radiant glow from bifrost, look like a giant flamey scythe if using incinerator.. i know a lot of off-hands dont get love, so if youre worried about that, maybe make it only affected by two-handers, but seriously, HUGE missed opportunity here!

the gated approach to rewards is definitely a bad idea for this. it seems like at 10 stacks you get the same rewards as 18 stacks. whats the point? you should have made the blooms drop from enemies, too, obviously at an uncommon rate, and honestly to avoid people following the “Tag and run” approach. unless of course thats what you want, because getting to 20 stacks while actually staying to complete events isnt really plausible.

truth told, if you want to go THAT Approach, just give us 5 blooms per stack… because at this rate, if you dont manage to hit whjatever the “third tier” is, it takes 4 hours to get 90 blooms.

Im not even sure if these are bugs, but i’ve noticed a few legendary weapons seem to have lost some of their effects they had before.. such as Engineer grenades no longer have a glowing effect, Quip doesnt affect as many skills as it did, and the Dreamer doesnt make a Neighing noise when fired anymore. whats the deal? was this intentional or what, because i miss all 3 of these effects.

just make ascended insignias or inscriptions and sell those

Yup, it’s about 10-15g profit each if you know what you’re doing.

Haleydawn.3764:

Why does it have to adapt already existing weapons?

New mystic forge weapons requiring 30-50 Dark Matter would be better IMHO. But would have to be account bound on acquire, because the material is just that.

Like, dark smoke effect opaque weapons would be amazing. Maybe like the Chaos Weapons but black.

There are already tons of stuff out there that require account or soulbound stuff which produce non-account/non-soulbound items. Ascended insignias/inscriptions/food…

Some people don’t want/need anymore ascended items, so having another sink for Dark Matter would be great spent on introducing new weapon recipes for the Mystic Forge. Whether you think that being able to craft those items to make gold is an option, other people would like other cosmetic things for there efforts instead of 50g. Because not everyone likes to craft, but everyone likes having skins.

The question wasn’t what to do with excess Dark Matter, but to have another personal use for it.

You do know that you can turn gold into cosmetic items in GW2 right? I see no real reason for having exclusive skins crafted from dark matter in addition to the ascended weapons.

Your argument is valid, but i still want it~

Precisely! i mean i could easily go for some money. it’s true, i need some more, im tryign to make another legendary.. but blah! more money farms?! i would love to see more skins, especially crafted ones. so yeah, some form of like Dark Matter skin set from using dark matter in the forge would be a fun alternative, especially if they end up being account bound, because then it gives you a bit of exclusivity.

i want some big giant dragon wings.

nSan.4251:

The only thing I’m disappointed in is that I wont eve be able to the the Teq mini… ever…and I’m not a hardcore player. But I like the challenge myself.

the teq mini? the one that costs like 5 gold on the TP?

Haleydawn.3764:

I had no problems with my Wurm armor.
It has to be an actual piece of armor/weapon. Not the boxes they come in.

yeah im trying to put the wurmslayers Visor in, its the actual piece of armor, in Carrion stats. i open the forge, and the item does NOT show up.

Malediktus.3740:

How about this?

250 ectos = pink (like now)
250 t3 mist essences from fractals = green anomaly
250 time essences = grey/blue anomaly
250 dark matter = black anomaly
250 legendary luck essences = white anomaly
250 dragonite bars = yellow anomaly
250 bloodstone bricks = red anomaly
250 empyreal stars = royal blue anomaly

kinda fun, though some of those items are harder to get than ecto, like TONS harder…. like T3 mist essences :p but this is a fun idea, too. come on ANet, give us a Black Hole focus… maybe call it “The Event Horizon”

This is just a small idea i had, but, maybe some new weapon recipes using Dark Matter? I for one would love to see something like The Anomaly in a sort of “Black Hole” version of itself, using the same recipe, but replace the Ectoplasm with Dark Matter.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Interesting some people got more than one chest.

I already had two of the three armors. Maybe the game sends you only one in that case.

doubtful. i had 0 armors, and i only got 1. seems to be a pure bug.

khani.4786:

Garambola.2461:

I have loved this game ever since it started. There are very few things that could make me quit. This stuff comes close.

free stuff makes you want to quit?

they probably didnt get it

yeah, its apparently a Stress test thing. if you were in the test, and had one of those beta character slots… they just removed the character, and its causing some bug to give those people heroic chests / influence letters.

Yeah, me too. kinda forgot i had got one already and opened it for the primeval armor.. >>; thanks for it.

edit: someone mentioned this might be caused by the fact that they removed the Beta character slot.

Think maybe you could let us change the Glow color?

NexForce.1654:

I want my money back from buying that stupid infinite coin where SAB doesn’t even exist.

i’d rather have playable content than 800 gems… but thats just me >>

Guhracie.3419:

Sinbold.8723:

The other thing I keep thinking is that we have all these other “activities” like Sanctum Sprint, Keg Brawl, etc. WHY isn’t SAB included in this rotation?

With all due respect, I vehemently oppose SAB being part of the “activity” rotation. It would mean modifying it, like Toypocalypse, so that you couldn’t queue with your friends, which defeats one of the BEST parts of SAB.

uh, yeah, i also dont want that. that would just be the dumbest idea ever. I wanna play SAB on any given day, for any amount of time i wish, not as an activity and a race against other players.

lordkrall.7241:

Critical Lag.9075:

As a new player I just googled what SAB is and now I`m pretty sad from looking at this thread that I`m probably never gonna get to play this content which looks beyond amazing. Bring it back, pretty please?

They are bringing it back. Which have been stated multiple times in this very thread.

we just dont know when.

lordkrall.7241:

The funny thing is that IF they had added SAB back for April Fools, people would still have raged like mad because “they just go with old jokes instead of coming up with something new, the lazy kittens!”

no, i think theyd be entirely grateful, and only chastise them for “waiting so long” but i suppose im an optimist.

It really is quite strange. they gave us a repeat halloween, as many have mentioned in this thread by now.. they could have done the same with SAB and people would have been fine. oh sure, they would have complained, said they wished they saw more content, but just to be able to play at the stages again, maybe try some more tribulation to craft the green or yellow skins.. or even to experience it for the first time! think of all the new players we have now, who havent played it because of 18 months without it.. im sure they’d enjoy it.

Zarania.6235:

can we just agree on that its effed up for anet to create a merged thread but leave no kitten statement -_-

they actually did make a statement, long ago, when it actually was merged. its on page 14, but i agree that since then its been annoying silent.

Angelica Dream.7103:

Honestly people want the Super Adventure Box. So it comes down to one fact. Anet does not care about what it users want. Period.

I would not kill them to bring it up 1 week a year in April but they choose not to.

I wouldnt say they dont care what people want, just that they feel HoT will turn a bigger profit. its sorta like saying you want someone to die. you dont want to kill them, you just want them gone.. its similar, but only the goal. still those.. those fires were fun.

I want to believe… but I wouldn’t put it past anet to add these for the sake of banking off the large part of the community’s desire for SAB.

Nah, this is exactly why it was done. At this point, there’s zero reason to ever believe SAB will actually ever return.

just gonna leave this right here..

Oh wow. The future! Why, thats so informative, they must have all kinds of plans set up!

If something as vague as “in the future” is enough to give you hope, then by all means, enjoy waiting forever.

youre right, clearly theyre gonna go back on their word, causing anyone waiting on it to just quit the game.

we didnt have it at all in 2014. its last release was september of 2013… can you believe that? unless my math is wrong, its been almost 18 months… come on guys, some of us kept our infinite coin.

Give us SAB back or refund our gems!! ò_ó

I believe they actually did offer a refund on it, a while back…

Suggestion Anet: Make some really nice looking WvW map completion exclusive armor/weapon skin vendors!

With the current legendaries being pushed a little further away from WvW and into the exclusively PvE territory, I agree that there should be some more high-tier rewards that are exclusive to WvW. I’m not sure how you would gate this (Not just through Badges of Honor, that’s for sure) but it doesn’t seem like there’s a gear/equipment way to show off supreme WvW skill and dedication.

Could use the mastery ranks to gate it, would be nice to get something other than a green trident , blue shoulders and 10s every time I open a rank up chest. 632 ranks now, all I ever see are green tridents, blue shoulders and 10s, and occasionally 10 BoH.

Problem with that is that EotM gives waaaay more ranks than normal WvW much of the time, and is basically PvE.

until one color decides to ransack another color, aggressively defending their borders and such, denying anyone of those ranks.

do we still get rewards for completing the maps? chance at a key, badges, siege, etc?

You know those new wings we’re supposed to be getting? the black angel ones? I was wondering if maybe we could see a Bat/Dragon/Leathery version of those in the future. I’m sure tons of people hate these wings ideas, but i for one love em. i’ve loved my holographic dragon wings and the tequatl ones, but i’d love to see some giant dragon wings on my character’s back.
Like, the same dimensions as those feathered wings, height and such.. but instead of being feathered, you would see the dimensions of the bones, wrapped in leathery fibrous tissue, with maybe even a little claw at the tips. I dunno, I just think that would be awesome. especially if they were a good realistic color.. like a reddish orange, or a grey combo of some kind.. but yeah, thats just my thought.
