Guild Wars 2

Harper.4173:

That aside – it would be nice to have some FOTM progression deletion considering it’s been almost a year now?

FTFY.

Wool is expensive and I think they are part of one of the achievements and that drove their price up.

SkyFallsInThunder.8257:

Finally. No more PvE AP hunters running around in wvw not helping the war effort. A good change.

bzzzt. Wrong. But thanks for playing. (Unless of course you want the WvW maps to become increasingly less populated from the double whammy of people wandering off to greener pastures and there being no new blood coming in from the vastly more populous PvE side.)

A good change would have been one where all the achievements were

• pertinent to the war effort,
• doable within the week,
• providing the motivation to stick on the Wvw maps for more than 15 minutes, and to come back for more.

Thus getting new people to be long term interested in WvW, rewarding WvW veterans for something they’re doing anyway, and helping your server in the tournament.

The new achievements accomplish none of those things, much as many of the previous ones didn’t. Not having PvE AP hunters clog the map during the Tournament may be a short term positive, I’ll grant you that much. But it is only a short term positive, and a mid to long term negative.

Well, if you can think of such achievements the completion of which can’t be twisted and turned against the war effort, feel free to share. The only one that I can think of is capping SM, but even that would generate a lot of complaining in map chat against the commander who “omg does everything but take SM, dont you hear we need that!!!!!!1”, as it did in previous seasons. I still remember the fights over rams in season 1 when everyone wanted to bash the gates with them so they get credit for the achievement, so silly-placed siege was everywhere and lots of supplies went to waste.

And I think the process of introducing new players to wvw should not be done during a season, when every server needs to field its best in order to improve their chances.

And, overall, I don’t think the issue should be as much getting new players into wvw, as maintaining the veteran wvw players who quit because of the lack of attention, fixing and diversity wvw gets, doubled by the frustration generated by the attention that other aspects of the game get… Not saying that getting new players is not important, because it is, but perhaps you need to strengthen your already-existing foundation before you think on building something…

Jessica Boettiger.2563:

Basically removing the achievement requirement during a tournament is an experimental step we took to reduce the incentive for achievement grinding. We want people to play WvW, and not focus too heavily on satisfying achievement requirements.

If we find that players prefer having numerous things to check off a list, then we would certainly take that feedback into account and consider it for future tournaments.

Finally. No more PvE AP hunters running around in wvw not helping the war effort. A good change.

I was thinking of reporting my issue as a bug, but with the TOTALLY LOGICAL AND FAIR CHANGES THEY ARE MAKING, this might actually be working as intended…

I tried buying some beers from the heart merchant in Edwin Monastery but he does not sell them anymore…

Shanks.2907:

Don’t abuse your mobility to reset fights so often and you won’t have to deal with it as much.

Orly? And what about other classes resetting it for you and then coming back for more? Having it go away on miss is one thing, but having it deplete in a few seconds when you get ooc is a bit much.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Just read this:

http://dulfy.net/2014/09/10/gw2-season-2-living-story-returns-nov-4/

Why is LS being delayed another 2 months?

You claim to have a 2-week release schedule and put out content faster than any other mmo… yet this is only true for 4 weeks, then a 12 week break…How is that different from any other MMO?

Why the delay?

Maybe Mordremoth wants to partake in the WvW tournament. Anyhow, a logical and argumented answer to such a question is coming. Soon™.

LordByron.8369:

well despite i would totally expect it from anet, would be pointless rewarding a fractal box for fotm skins completion.

Maybe it would count towards placement on the Fractal Leadeboard?

I have no ideea why they did not introduce a skippable tutorial for this game… You make a new character and you are put into a tutorial which shows you the works. Then, once you have completed this tutorial for the first time on your account, you get the option to skip it for every new character you make. It’s so simple it boggles the mind why it is absent…

Why they had to go and take stuff away only to feed it back by the spoonful is beyond me. They did it first with the traits, but this is beyond any form of reason. And they had the nerve to announce this “feature” as an improvement.

ANet, I have a better ideea that would fall in line with this policy of yours. Since new players have it harder to level now and the experience is different than older players had it back in the day and it’s not fair to the new players, why not reduce the level of every character in the game to, say, level 3 (have to keep it fair, right?!) and have everyone level all their characters again. After all, you deleted player progression once before, why not do it again?! And say this will determine everyone’s placement on a Leveling Leaderboard which is in the works and will be made public. Soon.

Hoooray, what jolly fun we would have!

Not the same items, but the same issue I think – one of the collections requires you to get a Royal Signet of Doric ascended ring. I have 3 or 4 of them, but no credit for it. Granted, in my case they are all infused, but… seriously?! This needs to be fixed.

On the recipes in the collection – this is silly and, as the people above pointed out, it impacts negatively on those who already have them…

Would it be that hard to remove the fractal skin a players owns from his daily fotm chest loot table? I was happy a few days ago to get a fractal skin… until I saw it was hammer. My 4th hammer. Yeah. Great. Once you have a skin and any additional ones are useless, they should no longer drop for you. Same goes for those account-bound recipes, getting one is great but what am I supposed to do with 3-4?! Bad, bad, very bad… I am waiting to see someone post on the forum that they got their second account-bound fractal tonic…

TheDave.4391:

Hi all,

Thanks for your patience while we try to figure this one out.

One hypothesis suggested by some of the posts above is that CoherentUI_Host.exe is not shutting down properly. (The new launcher, which looks just like the old launcher, uses a Web browser called Coherent.)

If you’re stuck, please bring up the task manager and see if CoherentUI_Host.exe is running (it will be under the processes tab, not the applications tab); if it is, kill it and try running Guild Wars 2 again. Most likely you will be able to get into the game one time and then the next time it will fail.

Alternatively, and I’m almost ashamed to suggest this: reboot Windows and try playing Guild Wars 2. If the problem is that CoherentUI_Host.exe is not shutting down properly, you will probably be able to play one time.

Let us know if any of this works for you, and especially please let us know if you see that CoherentUI_Host.exe is running when Guild Wars 2 is not.

Tried this but could not find the CoherentUI_Host.exe in the Task Manager. However I rebooted the PC and now it seems to work and the client started and it’s downloading the patch. Let’s hope it works for good…

Lacey Hiteshue.4082:

Hey guys,

If you are having this issue and crashing after the update we recommend you try the following troubleshooting steps to try to resolve the issue.

First, try disabling any antivirus you have on your system. Sometimes after programs/games are updated, the antivirus program will see them as a threat due to the new files added to the program/game which can cause issues.

If this does not resolve the issue and allow you to download/launch the client you can try moving the game out of the program files folder. If you are not sure how to do this please follow the instructions below.

1. Navigate to your Guild Wars 2 folder, which by default should be C:\Program Files(x86)\Guild Wars 2.

2. Move this folder to a new location like C:\Games\Guild Wars 2. The location doesn’t matter specifically, as long as it’s outside of Program Files and Program Files(x86).

3. Navigate to this new location and “Right-click” on “GW2.exe” selecting “Create Shortcut.”

4. Rename this shortcut to “Guild Wars 2 Admin Mode.”

5. “Right-click” on “Guild Wars 2 Admin Mode” and select “Properties.”

6. Click the “Compatibility” tab.

7. Checkmark “Run this program as an Administrator.”

8. Click “Ok.”

Once completed, please double click “Guild Wars 2 Admin Mode” and try playing Guild Wars 2 again. If this helps resolve your issue, please copy that shortcut and use it to start Guild Wars 2 from now on.

If you are still experiencing issues after performing the above steps, comment on this thread and let us know.

My game client will not even start. I tried this and it changed nothing, it still won’t start…

My game client won’t even start! WTH is this?! I can click it till kingdom come and no reaction from the game!

pdavis.8031:

They should have Ascended minis first. Then maybe a legendary mini. But then what would be a legendary mini? As far as I know all the Destinys Edge minis are exotic and the dragon minis are exotic. Maybe a Lazarus the Dire mini? Or The Six minis? That would be kinda cool.

The legendary mini should be the arenanet logo and a mini speech bubble should appear every few seconds above it saying “I’m sorry!”.

narwhalsbend.7059:

If you think GW2 Dry Top is dead, you should see GW1 Dry Top.

You win the forum for today!

Ohoni.6057:

There should be more people with legendaries because there are currently people who want them, but do not have them.

Worst argument is the history of everything. If all these people who want them really do want them, they should get off their donkeys and earn them.

Entitlement much?

Ohoni.6057:

“I want it so I should have it, and with much lower effort than is currently required” – Entitlement. GL with that.

This is a game, “entitlement” is a perfectly good reason to do anything. Your position seems to be “I have what I want, I have earned it, therefore I deserve it” which is also entitlement, btw. Just because a system is a certain way now, does not mean that it has to be that way in future, or that it should be that way in future.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I sincerely enjoy this thread, please continue!

How can people expect for what are arguably the most expensive and prestigious items in the game (I know, I know, credit card = no prestige, but still) to be just handed to them? Do you really expect to be rewarded with them for running randomly around an area, maybe kill a mob or three, do some events, then port to LA to chat?! Well, you can always get 3 precursor drops, sell and buy the legendary you want, but the chances of that are so small it’s not even worth considering.

And I find the claims that money is hard to come by simply laughable. The game literally throws money at you. Everything you get in the game can be monetized (well, maybe not the t7 mats that drop like crazy, but they introduced that bloodstone-eating plant so there is hope for those as well).

It takes 30 minutes to do CoF1 and SE1+3 and only from this you will get 4g solid hard cash, not counting the drops and the tokens. From SE alone you will be able twice in 3 days to get a piece of armor to break down with a BLK for ectos, dark matter and a very good chance at an insignia worth 2-2.5g. Granted, you can’t do it for CoF since none of its armor combos can drop insignia, but you can keep those tokens for the zerker armor/weps for your characters, or just buy rares/exos with them and salvage for ectos. And this is just for these 2 dungeons, which are the easiest and fastest ones around. The rewards increase significantly if you branch out to other dungeons.

Gather nodes (the relevant ones, not copper or gold or green wood) and sell for proffit.

Farm eotm. Farm karkas. Farm LS (man, the money was awesome from crafting those foods daily and selling them! And it sill is some 3-4g worth of proffit).

Do ascended crafting, but watch to actually make a proffit out of your daily craft because it shifts permanently.

You don’t need to do the above like a madman, just 30 mins-1h of each should get you a nice return. Hell, even PvP is now somewhat rewarding due to dungeon tracks…

Enough with this entitlement and silly complaints already! Gold can be easily obtained in this game if you put your mind to it.

It makes sense to lose adrenaline even if you miss, but… how the devil can you miss the ground with your hammer!? This has always bothered me, missing hammer F1 because of blind…

Ah, well. They will implement these changes no matter how much people like/dislike them, so time will tell how much it will affect the game. Probably not a lot.

IceVyper.6810:

After reading the news about the new exclusive PVP armors, I cannot stop myself from wishing for a similar PVE counterpart. As it is now, the only prestige armor set in game, will be available for the 10-20 people that happen to win elite tournaments….

While I agree that top PVP players should get a special reward for their effords, I strongly believe that there should be a correspondant set for the people that prefer PVE.

I wish Anet would introduce an equally prestegius armor set, that could be craftable through PVE rewards and activities. I wouldn’t even mind paying 100 pristine relics per piece.

Before people start complaining that everything in PVE is easy so nothing will ever be prestigious: we have been lacking any kind of hard to obtain armor set, so now is the time to give us one of those. I am sure plenty of people will enjoy working towards one of those.

Lol @ highlighted part. Did you even take half a second to think about it before you wrote that nonsense?!

IceVyper.6810:

-snip-

What armors do we have in PVE now?

-snip-
*the ascended armor sets – they are a hassle to craft but there is nothing prestigious about them

-snip-

There you go, you gave yourself the answer to your question. Crafting a full set of Ascended armor costs ~6-700 gold, crafting 0-500 included (did not closely do the math, it may vary a bit but the cost is about there). While for many players getting the 700g or so to craft it is not hard, the majority seem to think otherwise as there are many players complaining about not being able to get it due to high cost. There are also the Wurmslayer armor pieces, btw.

IceVyper.6810:

lordkrall.7241:

Isn’t something like this already available?

Ascended Armor sets.
They are “craftable through PVE rewards and activities” and have unique skins.

As I said before, there is nothing special about the Ascended Armors. They only require time to be crafted, nothing else. On top of that, most people were hugely displeased with their aesthetics and instantly reskinned them.

Only time and nothing else? Lol.

IceVyper.6810:

You cannont expect people to be satisfied with the horrible heavy ascended armor, and at the same time release a really beautiful heavy set obtainable only via the external PVP tournaments.

It’s really nice that your personal tastes in armor aesthetics are those of the majority of the players. Oh, wait…

IceVyper.6810:

Every person’s ingame activities have a merit, be it winning a pvp tournament or gathering 50 000 Arah tokens. Neither is worth more than the other.

Just… WOW!

But, yeah, an armor set like the GW1 Obsidian Armor (not the skins, just the status!) would be cool, though it would need requirements that focus on successful gameplay and not only cash. And before anyone posts that obby armor required only an insane amount of cash to buy the materials – true, but there was no gem store and gem-to-gold conversion back in the day, buying in-game gold was strictly forbidden under any circumstances, and the amount of gold was truly immense and fairly hard to acquire in that game.

OP, your point is valid but, wow, you have a real way to understate the things that oppose your views… Taking your posts into account (not just the ones I quoted), I would gauge your special-snowflakiness at over 9000.

As a final conculsion, good luck to all PvP-ers in the upcoming tournaments and wear your hard-won skins proudly!

This may well be the extra reward for the upcoming cash prize PvP tournament, I think I read somewhere that there will be some new and exclusive armor for winners/top 8 or something. It would be a step forward in giving the PvP community some much-needed exclusivity, they have been mostly ignored in matter of rewards.

But atm we can just speculate and, as always, time will tell.

I wonder how much foxfire does it drop when logged…

On a serious manner, it can’t die because then there wouldn’t be any more new sylvari. Unless ANet decided to kill off this race as a playable one, which I highly doubt. Then again, where there was one seed, there can be another and a new Pale Tree can sprout someplace else (maybe such a second seed is what we saw in the end cinematic?). Or maybe the sylvari start feeling all tingly in weird places and become able to mate. But I don’t see ANet having the b***s to kill off the Tree, even if they find a way to keep new Sylvari being born.

Time will tell.

Pretty much what the title says.

I recently made a necro in my effort to make one char of each class “just to be there” and I found it quite fun to play with staff in wvw as part of a zerg. He’s not max level yet but is getting there and I would like some help setting up some build for him.

What I would like to do is run with the zerg and spam the enemies with conditions.

This implies that I use staff with traits and ???/warhorn as a secondary set. I would chose warhorn because of the speed buff and I think the stun can be useful in engagements. Then again, offhand dagger seems good in large scale fighting as well… Also, I am not sure which mainhand weapon to use, but it seems that dagger is out of the question since it has no AoE skills, while both axe and scepter have one. Of the 2, axe seems more useful due to boon stripping.

Now, for the bonuses to attributes… I think there should be some Dire in there (and, because of some lucky ascended drops, I have 2 Dire weapon chests waiting to be opened), but maybe spiced with something to pack a bit more punch. I am unsure as to Carrion or Rabid, but am leaning towards Rabid because I do want a higher critical chance for activating sigils and necro already has a nice health pool so a little more toughness might come in handy (besides, there will be a HP boost from the Dire pieces and AF). What spread of attributes do you guys think are best between Dire and Carrion/Rabid for armor/weapons/trinkets? Or perhaps other attributes than these?

As for the traits themselves, I am unsure yet which are best but it seems to me either 6/6/2/0/0 or 6/6/0/2/0 is the way to go.

Finally, for runes and sigils… I would think Melandru Runes and a Sigil of Energy on each set, but am wondering what would be a good choice for the other sigil spot: Torment or Fire? I would lean towards Torment because more conditions on enemies is always an awesome thing and everyone runs around a lot during zergfests so that stack is gonna do its full job.

Anyhow, these are my thoughts. Any impressions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Anise = Livia is totally plausible imo, but time will tell. It would be cool, though.

I never delete anything, always hoping it will become useful one day. I have one mule just for Bloodstone Dust and his inventory is almost full, will have to assign a second one. And this is after crafting 50 bricks for my own use, of which I still have ~20.

Who knows, maybe the guild halls will have to be built of Bloodstone Bricks…

I get this error in a lot of places, most recently in EotM…

Atherakhia.4086:

With so few alternative options to gearing characters outside of crafting, and with crafting becoming so incredibly expensive thanks to ascended gear, something needs to change quickly.

But… but… dungeon tokens… and karma… and badges… and rings from FOTM… Wat?!

Granted, the karma/badges gear is not salvageable and you can’t recover the sigils put into them, but still…

Eglesia.5049:

*22While participating in Plaver-vs-Player (PvP) gameplay, you will not participate in any form of match manipulation. Match manipulation is defined as any action taken to fix or manipulate the outcome of a match or alter or manipulate the rankings or ratings of the ladder. This also includes disrupting other people’s game experience by not actively participating in matches in good faith, a.k.a leeching.

According to the rules above, avoiding fights is match manipulation ONLY if you are trying to influence the outcome of that match (rankings or ratings don’t apply to EOTM since there is no ladder). People in EOTM do not care about the outcome of the match (a.k.a. who wins) because it is irrelevant and therefore do not try to fix the fight so that one side wins at the end of the 3h, they just want to cooperate and farm. Therefore it is not match manipulation as per the definition provided. ANet knows this and that is why no measure has been taken against it.

You are also forbidden to leech, meaning you cannot sit in one spot and do nothing and then obtain the gains at the end of the round. This cannot apply to EOTM because there are no gains at the end of the round.

There you go. You may not like it, but it is how it is. Report all you want, it is not a breach of the rules and it will be funny when you get banned for false reporting.

1. where i can see what guild claimed something and what OFFICIAL score has this guild ?
2. what will win a guild if claim a tower . server pride …. lol what ? gold , lootbag , influence , guild score points .where are these ?
3. failure of assumption 2 lead to failure assumption 1 leading of wvw failure …

thank you

I made a post to respond to this which was far more in the lines of an answer that your post deserves, but it got deleted and I was infracted. Yay for that. I will try and put it in a more polite way:

Your post above makes no sense and I can’t see how it’s related to what my post tried to prove. It seems to me you are picking on me and arguing for the sake of arguing because I “dared” quote you and prove your post wrong.

I have replied to your previous post in a manner that seems logical to me and I brought arguments as to why your previous post was wrong. Please bring up arguments based in logic, to the point at hand and displayed in such a manner that one can understand them, if you wish to have a discourse. Wild ranting will not be taken seriously and will only make people think less of you.

Trying to answer your… hm… interesting post above:
1. You can see the guild emblem on the banners in the claimed structure and I think you can see its name if you talk to the claiming NPC (not sure). As to “official score”, I have no ideea what you mean by this, nor why would it be relevant. There is no official guild ranking as of yet, despite many people asking for it.
2. There is no immediate gain other than the knowledge that your guild supports the war effort of your server. It also works as PR – people see your guild claiming strucutres in WvW = people see your guild is into WvW and dedicated to it = people that are likewise into WvW will want to join your guild, bolstering your numbers and thus making your guild more succesful.
3. ???

There we go. Let’s see if I get infracted for this as well.

Lord Kuru.3685:

• The megaserver nature of EoTM ensures it has no community.
• No community means there’s no “team spirit.”
• No team spirit means no one cares about winning or losing.
• No one caring about winning or losing means 24/7 karma train.

EoTM’s massive failure is actually a great lesson on the importance of community. Of course Anet didn’t learn that when they used EoTM as a beta for megaservers.

i agree , the same situation exist in wvw maps .

• No claimed towers means guilds don’t care for their server’s “team spirit.”
• No team spirit means no one cares about winning or losing.
• No one caring about winning or losing means 24/7 karma train , only exception the stupid server’s veteran scouters and PUG commanders ……

p.s. you see what i did here ?

You made false assumptionts that conveniently appear to support your claims. Let’s break it down:
1. No claimed towers – are you kidding me? Towers will be claimed and upgraded when the strategy at the time is to claim and hold them. If a tower is capped just to force a reaction out of your opponents, without real plans to hold it then because the objective is different, why should it be claimed? Furthermore, how does “guilds not caring for their server’s team spirit” mean that the server has no team spirit? Stupid assumptions ftw.
2. Failure of assumtion 1. leads to failure here. People do care about winning or losing because of server pride. There are also some rewards involved, the extra bonus rank-up chests and the Power of the Mists. Not much, but there is something. Plus, winning means your server at least maintains its position on the leaderboard, if not going up (or at least it should work like this, but due to the ranking system being what it is…).
3. Failure of assumtion 1. lead to failure of assumption 2. leading to failure here.

IMO the best purchase would be character slots, you can just make one of each class and use them to store stuff in their inventories (mules), so you don’t need as many bank upgrades. And, who knows, maybe in the future you will want to try those classes out, which is always a good ideea especially if you like PvP or WvW – the best way to learn how to counter a class is to play that class. And then you will already have them and they will be old characters with birthdays coming sooner and you will get more presents (that 24h bday booster is sooooo awesome).

Another good purchase are the everlasting farming tools, they are a perfect convenience item. Same goes for Salvage-o-matic and everlasting Royal Pass/Captain’s Airship Pass.

There are also some cool weapons and armors now and again (I just picked up the Magitech armor on sale for 600 gems).

Other than that, I would watch for sales for special items that are truly worth it. And you can always convert gems to gold if you need cash in-game.

I’ve been running PS for about 2 months now, but I use GS/LB because that way I get my own firefield and an extra blast finisher, and the blind can sometimes be useful as the fight opens. Then I only camp GS for the fight because I want to land as many crits with it as possible for the might they give due to Forceful Greatsword. Any crit landed with any other weapon does not benefit from this trait, so it results in missed stacks of might. I have not done the math and maybe a Fast Hands with Axe+Mace option instead of LB is more helpful due to more deeps that makes up for the missed might stacks and then some, but I doubt the difference could be that big. And while the vulnerability from the mace is cool, you already have decent vulnerability with GS from Rending Strikes. And mace KD is fairly irrelevant when fighting bosses, which you will be doing a lot in dungeons.

Tom Yzf.5872:

The Pug environment is fine and healthy. The people who are complaining are well in the minority and are simply misdirecting their frustration or are just plain speaking out of their behind.

I pug daily, and often I use the ranger/necro/engi/whatever class people think makes them get kicked these days. When I do I almost always join non-descriptive lfg’s, or I make my own simple lfg “p2”. I never have a problem with the people that join or with the party that I join regarding meta/elitistkitten/kazul/whatever is being complained about in this thread.

IMO the root of the problem is this: people who see lfg posts with descriptions that excludes their type of playstyle get unjustly offended. Their insecurity and low self esteem sends their minds into a “OMG HOW DARE YOU EXCLUDE ME” frenzy and they start thinking up of irrational ways to blame this made up “toxic lfg pugging environment” on the people that simply want to play with other people with similar playstyles.

My advice is to chill the F out and just play the game. There are plenty of people that will play with you w/o any requirements. I do so daily.

Quoted for truest truth.

Dusty Moon.4382:

I have seen very few Commanders in EotM willing to fight other players. Most just put their tails between their legs and run away – so they can just endlessly circle the mindless Karma Train. Since they can’t do it in Queensdale any more, they have switched over to EotM but this is a WvW map with a few more elements of PvE in it.

Just derailing people, from the K Train, makes EotM more fun and viable.

Ah, more self-righteousness! Yes, we definitely need more of this!

But it would be nice to have an official stance from ANet regarding this issue, even though it’s quite obvious.

Morsus.5106:

I really don’t know. The play-how-you-want crowd are really hypocritical, because they’re getting mad at someone for playing how they want.

That’s not the problem at all. It’s when some of play how I tell you crowd act out, harrassing and kicking people. I don’t see play how you want people insulting players for wrong builds, etc…accusing them being selfish and wasting people’s time … or kicking people from teams because they dodged a half second too late.

Play how you want people aren’t hypocrites because they don’t care what you want to do.

If that is true, then why are there tons of posts of this sort of people complaining that they were kicked from a run? The players who kicked them were just playing the way they wanted, meaning without the kicked players. Quite simple, really. Your post is hillarious. More, please!

I have this same issue with Divinity’s Reach. Concidentally, all but 3 of my characters are there… Please fix this…

RyuDragnier.9476:

I have a sneaking suspicion we need Rurik himself to fix this, and the sword was fully aware of that, opening a portal to the underworld because it is trying to return to its rightful owner. So within the next few weeks we will travel there ourselves to get Rytlock back, only to meet Rurik, who will probably mention the PC’s similarities to the GW1 PC, and help us. Of course this also means we have to probably make a deal with Grenth to get this done, and there’s no telling what he’ll want in exchange.

This would be sooooooooo cool!!!

I don’t use Knight stats on my warrior, but I bought and keep in my inventory always the Warmaster’s Family Heirloom, together with my first Vigil’s Honor. The mentors are, by far, the most likeable NPCs in the game and I will always remember Forgal’s words before he died. The Mists are not large enough for you, old man…

Goatjugsoup.8637:

do the daily every day and the monthly every month and you can buy unidentified dye to sell for 25-35s with your laurels (not sure if thats the best way to monetise laurels or not), certain event items you can get will become more valuable the further away from the event we get (ellen kiel representation button is selling for 2g+ these days).

make sure when you are farming to use a food item that gives magic find

It is not, you can buy a heavy crafting bag for 1 laurel and that will always give you 3 random t6 mats, so you will get ~1g-1.5g per laurel depending on what mats drop.

Support might be able to help you, you should submit a ticket. IMO you should be allowed to gain the title.

Run dungeons. Each path gets you at least 1.3g+tokens+drops. Some of them are really fast, like CoF 1, SE 1 and 3, AC 1 and 3.

I don’t like the skins so I’m praying I don’t get one. They’ll rob me of a drop that I could use/sell.

You can sell them now.

No, you can exchange them for 3 bags of greens and blues. Yeah, awesome option – trade a rare item that other people want for some junk worth a few silver. Now, if only there were a way to get these items to the people who actually want them… You know, like an auction house or market where people can trade directly with other people. Boy, it sure would be great if GW2 had such a trading place…

Yeah, tried it a couple times and don’t see how it would be possible in 15 minutes like people claim is how long it takes them. Maybe if you are doing it with 4 friends.

I think 15 mins can be done if you know the perfect routine by heart, have a good PC and internet connection and load maps very fast, and – most importantly – have accesss to the golem banker for each new char in order to access the best gear and cons for this farm.

I use a guardian for this with a staff and I can do it in ~20-22 mins, but I have bad load times and I don’t use other gear nor cons. I also don’t have the golem banker, so I need to waste time getting to the bank in DR to pick up my staff.

Other people use warrior because of the warhorn speed skills, but I think the massive AoE from the staff and the Empower makes up for that. I doubt if any other class is as good as these 2, though.

GL.

For me, the choice is rather easy. Foefire is a plain maul with the ghostly skin and a chain. Mjolnir is lightning caught by the power of the gods and shaped to fit the unworthy hands of mortals. Mjolnir any day, I am going to start making mine pretty soon (would have made it a while ago but I rarely use hammer and I just HAD to make Infinite Light first…).

The Bard – first Karka event endchest, I got lucky and was not kicked. Sold for 7-8g back then, which I used to buy a set of Superior Soldier runes for my guardian… and put them on the Vigil Armor I was using back then, which is not even exotic and which cannot be salvaged. Great system, ANet!

The Bard – FOTM lvl 49 preFractured from a Veteran elemental in the Snowblind Fractal. Sold for ~100g.

Luckeeeeh meeeh…

Also bought Dawn from the TP for ~600g before the craze and crafted Sunrise.

There’s not just one "right way to play " but there is only one fast way to play. The fastest way.

The solutions i gave you were there because you seemed to have trouble dealing with “elitists”.
And you’ll understand why people who take the game seriously don’t really want to play with you – you said it yourself – you don’t take it that seriously.

Some people have mentioned the same problems – can’t find “elitist” players on the LFG tool – and other people have suggested making a guild or joining one – a guild that suits your play style.

So do that – it might work like people said.

Also – defining fun – gold per hour is fun for me. The more the better.

The way I see it you want people to make an effort and reach out to you and help but you’re not willing to meet them half way.

No headset.
No voice chat.
No build changes.
No gear changes.
No guides or videos taken into account.

So basically you want things to change – and the elitists to find a way to accomodate you into their parties but you yourself aren’t willing to change at all.
So why would people change and take you along?

- I want/need to do dungeons to get badges needed for stuff.

- Dungeons require a party.

- I can only get a party if I change my character.

That is what I find wrong. I’m not looking to do speed runs. I’m looking to play content at the speed I can play at with like minded individuals. Is that too much to ask?

According to you it is. I need to buy additional hardware so I can voice chat. I need to change my character to a style that I’m not use to playing. That I need to acquire items for my character than I do not currently have to max particular stats out. I need to watch spoilers so I know what’s coming. All to do what I consider is basic content tied to my personal story.

Do you read the Cliff’s Notes before reading a novel so you know what’s coming? Do you read the wiki plot synopsis of a movie before going to see it? Isn’t there any joy to discovering something on your own first anymore? Or is everything reduced to a guide of do this then that, collect reward?

Can’t I simply take four other random players with sub optimal builds into a dungeon, sight unseen, and enjoy it? But I can’t find four other like minded people (other than guildmates) because everyone hanging around the entrance are cookie-cutter warrior zerg builds who won’t give you the time of day because dungeons are only for cookie-cutter warrior zerg builds.

You can’t say it open to all but insist I need to change my character to be eligible to participate.

Wow, this is hillarious. So everyone else should change to accomodate you? And why is that? Is their right to play as they choose and with whom they want any less than yours? It sure seems that way to you. All you do is whine and whine because apparently not many choose to play like you want. Are you sure you tried finding other like-minded people? The LFG tool is there for a reason, you know, the days of making parties in front of dungeons are long past.

While not being really realistic, this is also a sword I would love to see in GW2:

I bet it would look awesome on a Guardian…
