Guild Wars 2

Arshay Duskbrow.1306:

On the other hand, I’m not sure how much you could do with any sort of personal story…the skritt live pretty simple, undramatic lives.

They are also often found working for Asura. Or living in dangerous areas/ playing with things they shouldn’t.

However the Skritt have one feature that would make writing them as PCs very difficult: They get smarter the more of them are nearby.

This is really a no-brainer of a feature. So I expect it to make its way into the gem store at some point.

Maybe ANET will also add a gold sink where you pay a large amount of coin, then get a randomized appearance

Zax.6170:

The prices are all over the place. Some materials are too uncommon, especially the tier 1, most of the materials are way too cheap. The problem is that everyone can both harvest and craft. Harvesting should be a separate “craft” so that there is a proper supply and demand. In order to facilitate a proper trading cycle you want harvesters and crafters to depend on each other. With the amount of hacking and farming and gold selling it’s a bad idea to make crafts independent.

That would only delay the price crash. The reason those prices are so low is that once a lot of people have moved past using a material, it’s price will crash due to a lack of demand.

The only exception to this are consumables that people keep consuming. Eg food.

Consumables that only get consumed once, like a specific dye color, have the same problem as non-consumables.

So people who want those stat combinations have to grind the dungeon, while people who don’t only have to grind them if they like the look ?

That is disappointing.

Currently the trading post has two fees:
– A listing fee. Charged when you place an order, listed on the screen when you’re making an order.

- A sale tax. Taken out of the proceeds of your sale. But the only way to notice this one is to see the difference between what the sell order screen says you will earn from the sale and the amount of coin you actually get.

Hiding it is just asking for angry players when they notice it.

Or are there some stat configurations that are only available via non-crafting methods ?

If so, which stat combinations aren’t craftable ?

I’ve got three suggestions:

Account for the mist detour in waypoint prices. Because you know people will be using it to save coin, especially with how expensive waypoints get at higher levels. Note: I probably won’t reply to that thread on GW2guru any more.

Let us deliver items from the trading post pick up section directly to our storage. That way we can do crafting without having to go back and forth between the trading post and crafting station while crafting. Especially for the crafting stations out in the wild, far from and trading post.

The third is to let us see all buy and sell orders in the same window, and make that window accessible from the buy now, place a buy order and place a sell order screens. Lets compare this with the Eve Online market. I want to see an equivalent to this window.
Now for the equivalents to what we see now:
– This is all we see when selling
– This is what we get when placing a buy order
– This is what we get when buying instantly

Mercurial Wit.9450:

I think he meant copper ore, not copper currency. This is the first I’ve heard of this path but I’m a bit sceptical. I feel that that much copper along a single path would skew prices on the TP too much if the route became general knowledge.

All it would do is crash the price until it’s more profitable to run dynamic events. Maybe a bit further as people don’t realize that copper has got to cheap.

Currently I’m at 0 unspent trait points, 1 unspent skill point. The cheapest skill I haven’t purchased yet is 10 skill points. But the icon for the hero window, and the skills and traits panel within it, have the exclamation point saying it needs my attention, despite there being nothing I can do there.

Shouldn’t this only show up if I can spend skill and/or trait points ?

GaileGray.9587:

The purchase sites are extremely secure.

The security of the CC system is the security of the weakest link. In this case the security of game accounts. Accounts are being hacked by gold sellers. So I can’t see how you could call the system secure.

When a gold seller gets hold of a GW2 account with saved CC details, what is there to stop the gold seller from maxing out the saved credit card buying gems, converting the gems to coin, then selling that coin ?

Sure, you’ll probably ban them before they sell all the coin. The gold seller won’t care, they already have the cash from the sale. But that does nothing about the fraudulent credit card charges the gold seller ran up.

So what is the account owner meant to do then ?

That is a very unusual bug. Especially when it keeps switching between English and Spanish.

Would it be possible to tell us all why it happens once you have worked it out ?

I went into the dev tracker subforum, and clicked the RSS button. It changed the page to https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/devtracker.rss

So I take that URL and plug it into thunderbirds RSS reader and get the error that it’s not a valid feed.

Further checking takes me to the W3C’s RSS validator page, which also says that the feed url isn’t even an attempt at an RSS feed.

If I’ve got the RSS feed URL wrong, what’s the correct URL ?
