Guild Wars 2

I have about 4-5k hours, not sure exactly since I am not home.

Got 3 precursors:
The Bard – karka event endchest in 2012
Carcharias – random badlander in EotM
The Bard – Veteran Ice Elemental in Snowblind Fractal

spawn is fine ppl just want everything in 1 hr. Get in squad and go do ur normal stuff till spawn is up.

it does not work like that. not even close.

It works exactly like that. Source: that is literally how I did them.

All this squabbling when the solution is so simple: put both dueling and inspection in game and have the option for people to turn them on/off how they please, both of them. That way everyone can be happy.

You don’t want to share your gear/build? That’s perfectly fine, and it also is perfectly fine to be kicked from a group by people who ask to see them. You have the right to play as you want and with whoever you choose, but so do they. Your right is in no way greater than theirs.

Or, even better, have an option in lfg for posters to make their lfg invisible for people who have the inspect option turned off (or on). BAM! You will never have to deal with elitists ever again! But this way you also won’t be able to leech off other people, either, and in the end that’s what this is all about, amirite?…

No. No. No. You want the shiny, do the thing. These should remain raid exclusive.

Keep it. That way whenever you see someone bragging about their Twilight or Sunrise, you can link Eternity and ask them why are they only half-arsing it, huehuehue.

In all seriousness, keep it. Especially if you crafted both Sunrise and Twilight yourself. It makes for a nice achievement. Sure, lots of people will say you bought it credit card blabla, but you will know.

I found myself in the same situation – at first I didn’t care about legends, then I said I’d craft Sunrise, then I finished it and said kitten it, I am making Eternity since there were no other legends that I liked enough or was gonna use enough, so I crafted Twilight and merged them. I gotta tell you, the feeling was really really good, after all those hours to finally get the kitten sword. I never regretted it since. I used Eternity skin for about 2 years on my main, I only changed it about 2-3 months ago because I wanted a bit of change and I wanted to use the newly-acquired White Mantle greatsword skin, which is really really nice. I’ll probably go back to Eternity soon enough, I am waay too attached to that skin to not use it again on my main.

Again, if you have already done those stories in the past but before the mastery system was introduced, those mastery points were given to you retroactively when the mastery system was introduced. So you are not missing out on anything.

There are tons and tons of ways to earn mastery points, I am now at 170 and still have 10 HoT points and some 12 core points left…

Justiciar only gives you 3 rubies the first time you kill him each day, after that it stops giving rubies. However, the Unbound Guardian gives you 4 for each kill and it is not daily, so you can kill him as many times as you can find him in a day and each time he gives you 4 rubies.

Bloodstone ore has a chance to drop rubies, it’s best to have here the guild gathering boost for a better chance. The nodes reset at least daily and are per account.

PvP/WvW reward track have an option to give you 50 of them in the end chest, too.

Doing map compeltion on multiple characters also gets you some at least 5 rubies per character, plus one exotic and a chance at a BL key.

Easy fights, major l2p issue, move on…

Stealth gliding only works for the rocks not yet thrown, so if you stealth glide the mobs will stop firing. However, the rocks that are already in the air and en route to you will still hit you. Use gliding skills 4 and 5, 5 is particularly effective as it gives you a few seconds of evade. And try to stay in stealth as much as possible.

It is not made clear by anything that Lazarus was the one to absorb the dispelled magic, it is just speculation from the PC – minutes earlier the PC speculates it must be Caudecus. I trust that as much as I can throw it.

I doubt it is Lazarus who did that, because it would simply be too much for him. The amount of magic involved is stupendous and the Mursaat are not gods, nor immortal, they’re just dudes. Far more powerful than humans, but just dudes nonetheless. Given the lore, I find it very hard to believe that any one mortal being can absorb that much magic.

My money is on a foreign agency, which so far has been represented by the ley-line anomalies – you know, the glowy dudes we chased in the last events, or the one from the Thaumanova fractal. It is they that somehow absorbed the energy which they have constantly chased throughout all the events in which they appeared. Who are they, and what are their motives? That remains to be seen. This has a lot of potential to be really cool, I hope ANet does not mess it up…

That villager is one of the most serious cases of lag in any game I have ever seen. It took him almost 4 years to realise his house is attacked and he needs to flee.

ANet, why are you loving the red players so much that you make their side of the map so full of lag that others coming in have no chance of conquering it?!

The argument that “laurels aren’t refunded because they can be converted to gold” is one of the most BS arguments I heard in a good long while. So what they can be converted to gold?! It is a very small amount and also it does not mean that it actually will be converted to gold! People still need laurels to buy the new stuff, and because laurels are such a highly timegated resource a lot of people are screwed over this. I can’t imagine why anyone would choose to transform laurels into gold when they are so scarce. At the very least you turn them into t6 for yourself for legendary fuel…

But fine, let’s go with this BS argument.

THEN LET PEOPLE EXCHANGE INFUSIONS FOR INFUSIONS AT THE MERCHANT. At least this way they can get other infusions they preffer more instead of the ones they have now which they find useless!

Serval.6458:

How could you reach her without using the exact same method to break the shields on the mobs earlier?

All of this. It even tells you what to do in the print under the event bar…………

It’s easy to kill the eles without understanding the mechanic.

This is correct. The eles do not move from the shard thing and I assumed that you need to destroy the shard while they are near to break the shield – this is logical since that was clearly a training fight and they were not moving but standing next to it. When I got to Adrienne I had a bit of trouble at first since I tried the same thing, but then when I saw the ray between myself and the shard, I decided to cross it over Adrienne since that seemed like the next logical thing to do.

All in all, it’s not a terribly difficult mechanic to understand, but the tutorial they put in to teach it is actually quite misleading as to what you need to do and is actually doing more harm than good IMO.

I agree that Lazarus was introduced very poorly. He just appeared out of thin air and was all LOOK AT ME I AM IMPORTANT BECAUSE THIS AND THAT. That was just plain bad. No true overlord worth his salt will ever stoop to telling people who he is, people should already know from the story! But he is barely presented in the journals, and so few people have done the raids… And the story tells you close to nothing about him…

Lazarus is a cool dude, the mursaat were awesome in GW1, and he deserves better than this.

Another point which made me really angry is how they dumbed-down Almorra and Rytlock.

Almorra is a useless yesman (yescharr?) who basically does nothing, instead of being the kitten leader of a highly militant order. And how does she come to offer the marshalship to the PC!? It is clearly and overabundantly stated in the original story that the leader should be from outside the orders, while you are a very important member of one of them! I understand that you were instrumental in killing 2 dragons and how this may have changed perspective somewhat, but I don’t think that is reason enough. Oh, and don’t get me started on how the story now makes it to appear like the PC-s efforts were what killed Mordremoth, with no mention of the thousands upon thousands of pact and allied forces trudging through the jungle to make it happen…

And Rytlock… My god, what have they done to Rytlock! Where is the kitten Charr high commander and the awesome tactician and leader of armies?! He is now just an angry bloke who scowls all the time. Seriously!? Why would you degrade the character like that?! I get that there are hints at dissension between him and the Legions and I really hope they do him justice through this plot device, but right now he has been transformed into a weak character and I don’t understand why.

Ulion.5476:

I am curious how did you farm the blood rubies so fast? I am only getting a few during the meta event. Are you just mining with your alts?

If you complete the pvp/wvw reward track, at the end you have a choice between a helm skin from the new map or 50 blood rubies. Go with the rubies since you get the helm skin from the meta achievement anyhow.

Also VG event gives 4 rubies every time you kill it, and Hablion gives 3. This is not a daily thing, you can do it as many times as you want.

Yes, please add a separate queue for this map otherwise games will have lots of players who leave because they are looking for this specific map…

They all got good and advanced to esportz, huehuehue.

Most likely people don’t do hj nowadays since the reward for winning hj (assuming you get full reward) is the same as losing in unranked/ranked. And since reward tracks are very tasty, I would guess most people have figured out it’s faster to farm them in unranked/ranked, where you don’t even have the limitation that hj has on reward track progress.

Probably other reasons as well, but this is what comes to mind.

A full track with no potions takes between 8 and 9 hours. Remember to get your wvw reward track buff from the guild hall, it will turn your 195/tick into 214/tick. It’s not much but it ads in the long run. Try to do as many wvw dailies as you can, since a potion gives you 250 points towards your reward track.

I hear ANet will change it so that some dailies give 2 potions instead of one, like in pvp, but I doubt that will affect unopened old daily chests.

kitten , that stuff was cool! Awesome job, qT!

Oh dear God I don’t even want to think about YB siege humpers WITH repair hammers…

Please vote NO on this junk…

Underwater, underwater, underwater, lolbow, underwater. Meh. Not worth the time and ANet has made it clear they are moving away from UW combat since they stopped making UW weapons/skins and almost no UW stuff in the new maps.

Maybe when/if we fight Bubbles.

Then again maybe Kasmeer and Marjory kill all elder dragons with the power of their love and then unite with the dragon egg to make Marmeer, Tyrian Deus Ex Machina. 5AP for pressing F to pay respects when this happens.

Nidome.1365:

I WvW every day provided I have time. Removing the crafting stations from WvW means I can’t craft while scouting etc. which means I will spend less time in WvW each day.
Please put the crafting stations back so I can WvW more.

BTW you usually find more people afking at the spawn entry point or at the Trading Post guy than at the crafting stations.

=))))))))

Scouting the BL spawn area is very important, who knows what those legendary defenders are up to! Maybe they are even playing dice!

This is a pathetic (albeit hilarious) attempt from a PvE player to pretend he does WvW.

Removing crafting stations from WvW was an awesome ideea, thank you for it ANet.

I did them for the APs, the 2g are just icing on the cake. Gotta get those AP, man, that Radiant backpiece is still so far away…

PvP or WvW ones should be done regardless because of their own sweet loot. Of the PvE ones I always do the dungeon dailies and sometimes some gathering dailies if I feel like it.

“Most” of the people actually want them around according to the polls and most stuff I’m reading.

No. The correct conclusion is that most of the people (I’d say roughtly 70 percent) who stopped playing because of DBL when HoT was released, have never come back, hence the recent poll result.

No, this is a bullkitten kitten “conclusion” that you pulled out of your behind because you just cannot bear the thought that the majority of GW2 players do not share your distaste for a particular map. You people can literally never be happy. With the way this nnew poll went you will never even be forced to play on DBL because there will always be 2ABL maps (unless ANet introduces a new WvW map). Just accept that and be happy that you aren’t forced to play on a map you don’t enjoy.

His conclusion is actually spot on. Tons of wvw people quit gw2 when DBL came and never returned. Granted it was not only the DBL, but this was what put them over the edge. How do I know this? 12 wvw people I knew did exactly this. Buy hey, maybe those 12 guys are the only ones who did this, amirite?

12 of your friends is not statistically significant. There are lots of people that know 12 other players that only started playing WvW because of ABL being removed temporarily and DBL coming in. You can’t use anecdotes like that. The fact remains that more than 3 people voted to keep DBL for every 1 person that voted to remove it. You said it yourself, DBL was not why they quit.

For all of the people claming that people quit WvW because of DBL I pose a question. Why did these players not come back when ABL came back if they really did leave because of DBL? People came back for the WvW update that happened a full 2 weeks before ABL was put back in rotation and the population has been dropping since. People didn’t come back for ABL, which means they didn’t leave just because of DBL. DBL might have been a convenient excuse to quit a game mode that they no longer enjoyed because it hasn’t been taken care of, but they did not leave because of DBL.

I was using it as an example, but I guess that went over your head.

The fact is that after DBL hit WvW took a significant dive in population. T1 DBLs were ghost towns, and in theory T1 has the most numbers and the most WvW-focused players, no? Well, except for when the EB zergs came to quickly cap/defend a keep, maybe a tower and then hop back to EB for some actual fun. Most people just DID NOT PLAY THEM and the proof of that is THE FACT THAT THEY WERE EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME. How you can not understand this is beyond me. Yes, there were people who liked them, but so few that the maps were empty.

And when people quit a game, they rarely come back, which is what happened to the people who quit when DBL hit. Sure, some of them came back, but precious few comparatively to what was before. The others just moved on, forgot about gw2, played new games etc etc, just normal things people do when they quit a game. Alpine BL is not the saviour, it’s not the perfect map, BUT IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN DBL. There is now a lot of action now in the BL, sometimes more so than in EB, because people like to play there.

I’m sorry, but your logic is as flawed as your ideas. I’m done with this. Keep thinking w/e you want to think.

PLZ Consider making Hall of Monuments assets available by other means

Hall of Monuments in GW2 is inaccessible for most current GW2 community and it’s a shame as lots of GW2 assets are locked behind a wall which is no longer relevant.

Giving veterans GW1 players an extra bonus and motivation was a great idea 4 years ago but now it feels an obsolete system, the chance that non GW1 players will pick up the game and invest tons of hours for the skins is very low, probably close to 0. I think that giving the veterans GW1 players free and 4 years early access on the skins is enough of a bonus.

Plz consider giving access to Hall of Monuments in GW2 by other means that doesn’t include GW1, it can be the gem store, game content, a collection achievement, all options are fine.

What do you think?

No. It’s meant to be exclusive and it must stay that way. If you want the stuff, do the thing. The content is not locked away, there’s nothing stopping you from getting it, except lazyness I guess.

anet removing good things
will this help the game??

This will help WvW but will hurt all the PvE players who used WvW for quick crafting so we could return to PvE in the same place we left it.

Exactly……WVW is for WVW players, not a “quick crafting” stop for PVE players.

So basically, not having the 2 or 3 players we used to see around the crafting stations is gonna fix the queue issue? How exactly?

First of all, there are always more than 2 or 3, and second of all it will not fix but it will help. This is a very good change. Now they just need to add them to the guild hall.

So the new poll about “the future of WvW” is basically about bringing us to the past once again? Trying to shove us the desert borderlands in our throats ?

77% + it means something right?? players voted…. mixed bl’s

And how many of those players voted for this simply to not have 6 months a year fully unplayable BLs? I know I did…

Coming soon to a friendly Gem Store near you.

I think it took me 3 weeks but I did it very slowly, it probably could be done in 1 day if you have the time to play.

Scholar rune is your best bet, it’s the meta right now and for good reason. But like Azure said, Flame Legion runes are also nice for open world stuff.

Ele has lots of skills at his disposal, but in good conditions you will camp fire a lot on staff unless you need something from the other attunements.

Also keep in mind this poem made by some other gw2 player whose name I can’t remember at this time:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
I’m a staff ele

150 (25 per piece) is very fine. No changes needed. After all a set of armor is 6 pieces and should take a lot of effort to get 6 legendaries.

mazut.4296:

No, dont lower the LI, lower the insane amount of T6 mats…

Seconded!

Also disagree on this one. 100 T6 mats per legendary is not insane. It is very generous

Uhm… you do realise it’s 100 of each t6 per PIECE of armor, meaning you need 600 of each t6 mat for one full set of armor. Is that still generous?! What happened to “crafting a set of legendary armor will cost about the same as a legendary weapon”? Last I checked, a legendary weapon needs less than half that, or even a third (depending on which set of legendary weapon).

HoT legendary weapons are consistently 3-3.3k gold. The 6 Gifts of Condenses Might and Magic, at current prices, will be around 2400-2600g. Including other costs, 3000g seems to be the rough cost of the Legendary Armor set.

There’s your comparison. HoT legendaries were what Anet probably had in mind when they said 1 weapon = 1 armor set. Core legendary prices are all over the place, from around 1000g to craft underwater weapons, to upwards of 2.4k gold for the greatswords, excluding Eternity.

This is not actually correct, the armor would be more than 3k gold. Let’s assume you are correct about the cost of the mats for the fortune gift (t6, t5, t4 and t3) and say it’s 2500g. To this you add (TP buy order price):

100 crystalline ingots=100 amalgamated gemstones+100 ectos=213g+47g=260g
90 mystic clovers=288 mystic coins+288 ectos (average wiki costs, may vary)=190+135g=325g
faction provisioner tokens=about 200-250g for 300 of them, I calculated approximately based on the buy price of one of the items and ignoring the high-priced apothecary items, price can vary but I won’t calculate now since it’s way too elaborate. I used weapons to get mine, but I haven’t kept track of the cost unfortunately.
6 cubes of stabilised dark energy=450 stabilising matrixes=100g+6g ascended salvaging tools (this is assuming you salvage the full set of free ascended armor you get for the balls of dark energy)

And this are the costs we actually know at this point, I am almost positive there will be other costs as well, so far we haven’t seen any mention of stuff like icy runestones.

Add to them the account bound mats (map mats, hundreds of obsidian shards) and the money you are losing by not monetising the spirit shards, and the value goes way up.

Granted you get something back from the clover recipe, I can’t calculate exactly how much, but overall the value will go well beyond 3k gold.

EDIT: I forgot to add the 80g spent on the recipes for the new smaller gifts of fortune (10g per from MF merchant)…

I got something like this as well. I crashed while in fractals, my whole party reported lag and someone crashed before me; then I crashed and could not get back into a map. The game logged in slowly or not, then sometimes I could get past character select screen to a loading screen of LA but then it would crash; most times it would just stay at character select until it crashed. Internet connection is fine and all.

I live in Eastern Europe but play on NA server. I happened about 45-60 mins ago.

I submitted a support ticket for this, I hope they fix it…

Sequekhan.2091:

I’ve been running in successful Tequatl maps for the last few months, I know the mechanics and don’t appreciate the ’we’re not asking you to do this, we’re telling you’ attitude I got from the recent attempt today.

My favourite class is Ele, and I’ve found I’m more suited to defensive teams / turrets as I’m typically never downed by anything there. And really, telling someone to rack off from defensive, or they’re not needed? Any other time people are begging for hills and boat teams.

People want to start crying and abusing other players, that’s fine. I just laugh and do Teq at daily reset. Don’t be surprised if you can’t get the numbers if yall gonna get abusive.

Did it occur to you that that specific defense team was full and any extra people are not helping but actually hurting the event because they scale the mobs up and make them harder to kill, thus endangering the event?

No, I don’t think it did. Because you play how you want and kitten the other people trying to get organised and not fail an event, you gotta have your way and nobody can say anything, amirite?

PopeUrban.2578:

After two seasons and an expansion of sylvari lore, sylvari social structure, sylvari origin stories, sylvari chosen ones, sylvari pact generals, sylvari secrets, sylvari island adventures, sylvari betrayals, sylvari villains, and sylvari redemption, I’m perfectly happy to let them be less in the spotlight for a while.

At this point I’m about sylvari’d out. There’s no Tyrian equal opportunity law that says every guild requires an equal scoop of races. If there were I wouldn’t be surrounded by Asura with only the occasional normal sized person at every guild function.

See, this guy gets it. No more sylvari please.

I really hope this is a bug because otherwise it must be a really sick joke from ANet. Did 3 events, picked up 0 ley energy whatevers and I couldn’t even see one. This needs to be addressed asap…

I would have voted for Nobody’s Favorites, but from the 3 options I chose none because they all seem silly and basically too much for a “group” which I never could take seriously.

I would actually preffer they were actually named “None of the Above”, if that were an actual option.

I agree, it’s one of the worst items you can get from it. I’m sitting on 3 stacks of them and counting, and they keep flowing in from pvp and wvw as well…

“Everyone blobs, but is it really what everyone wants?!”

Yes. You know why? Because everyone is doing it.

If I remember correctly, I saw a red post about making them obtainable from wvw reward tracks.

I think I know what the issue is – you need to talk to Cymbel with a Crude Leather Book in your inventory. This crude book you have already crafted several times in the Chupacabra collections and you have the recipe already (Huntsman). She will then give you the Baby Book and unlock the corresponding collection (which, btw, is cute af, you’ll see).

Yeah, I got the mail when I ranked up last night, I assume this is the system for it in order to determine if someone is active in wvw. Seems like a good ideea to me. ANet is going in a good direction when it comes to communication.

Ok. Here is the problem.

Is a Legendary Weapon/Item, a sign of prestige, or is it a functional advantage?

If it’s a sign of prestige, it does not need any changes, It’s already got a huge larger then life graphic, and feet effects that scream “look at me”

If it’s functional, it needs to be made a heck of a lot less grind, to make it accessible for the population, who will need this stupid item to stay competitive.

Solid points IMO.

If only everything that had any sort of functional advantage was easily accessible to the population. I’m looking at you Permanent Bank Access Contract, Permanent black lion merchant contract, and permanent trading post express contract. However, the above isn’t really my point.

There is no functional advantage to having an instant bank access. You are still as limited as anyone else with what you can put in it, and take from it.

I agree with the OP mainly because there has been so much work put into the game to try to increase build diversity without taking rune/sigil/stat swapping into consideration. They added viper stats, commander stats, changed how conditions work etc. Before it was just berserker. Now for chrono you need some commanders for raids, some assassins for fractals, and a different set for WvW. Thats 3 different sets of ascended armor if you want to be optimal for one class. Then if you want to play ele you have to use scholar runes instead of chrono runes and for Necro you need Viper armor with Thorn runes. Before, it was never like this. Times have changed. If an encounter requires different stats, then people will expect you to have them by switching armor sets. This will happen regardless of weather or not legendary armor or weapons has sigil/rune switching. To me, the ability to swap runes/sigils so I don’t have to carry multiple sets of armor alone would be a nice little perk for spending so much money on skins that are now even starting to look phased out by many of the black lion skins.

Thank you for explaining the Functional Advantage of sigil swapping.

With that put out, Legendary Weapons were never meant to provide a functional advantage, they were meant to be purely for show.

As such, I stand by what I first said:

Either it is a mark of Prestige, in which case it serves it’s purpose just fine as it is. a Lot of work to make, to stop others from doing it, so those with it, can brag they have it.

Or

It Provides a Functional Advantage (or needed Function) and thus should be made reasonably available to the masses.

This.

Especially this when the functional advantage brings with it a huge economic advantage. Otherwise buy some spare sigils and every time you change stats exchange the sigils aswell.

Legendary weapons are ment as prestige only and longterm goals (thus no extra functionallity needed while costing a high price). Stop trying to make them “must-have” or “need to have”.

insanemaniac.2456:

instead of cluttering up the legendary specific ui piece, how about “separating” sigils from weapons so that you can pick each independently of the other.

then you can make a “legendary sigil” which is extremely expensive and can provide a sink for all the crap sigils but allows switching at will, where normally slotting a nonlegendary sigil could overwrite whats already there.

(make the legendary sigil/rune require a new item crafted from any superior sigils/runes similar to how amalgamated gemstones are crafted from orbs and then used in HoT legendaries)

This is actually a solution which is more in line with benefitting every player instead of the select few. Would need to get counterbalanced economically but at least this way legendarys are not made even more unequal compared to ascended items. Thus not turning legendarys as much into a “need to have” gear tier.

You are wrong. They already offer a significant functional advantage in the form of stat swapping. The sigil update is only logical to happen.
