Guild Wars 2

Yeah. This seems like an awesome experience worthy of GW2 endgame. Farming a ton of gold to get one part of your legendary seems just about like the most legendary thing I could ever do. Ever.

Of course there isn’t a hard cap. There’s a practical one. How much could the average player farm an hour.

I’ll take the 1.5/2g estimate. So 200-266 hrs (8 and 1/3 to 11 and 2/25 full, nonstop days) of farming the same events at Orr.
If you played 4 hours a day. It would take you…. 25 to 34 days of just farming the orr events. Just farming. Nothing else.
Epic.

A process worthy of any legend. Hope everyone likes zombies.

TheFug, you’re making your server look bad. CD is a respectable opponent. I don’t like what you’re doing to them.

First we need to know the maximal amount of gold you can farm in an hour. So what is that amount?

Everyone seems to ignore the fact that legendary does not imply exclusivity or rarity.

Stonehenge.7830:

lehova, I have to disagree. The ability to craft some runes is better than all runes. If you could craft all the best runes (Divinity) then other runes would be almost worthless (rune of pirate vs rune of traveler). Also, you can already get an upgraded rune with 4 runes of the same type now expect it isn’t guarenteed it has a 15-20% chance.

And yes this should be in the suggestions subforum.

This is already the case.

I don’t think there is one.

Getting a legendary was supposed to be the absolute pinnacle of GW2. It was supposed to demonstrate mastery of each area of the game. (I seem to recall a dev saying something to that regard, but I may be mistaken.)

However, due to the current system for obtaining a precursor, it mainly shows your willingness to buy from a gold seller or Anet. That’s the way it seems.

We need a legitimate and hard-work-rewarding way of obtaining precursors. Gambling is just fricking stupid.

Would you guys go swing your nerf bats at something that needs it? Seriously, this is silly. Mes is far from OP. You want OP? Nothing about it is OP. It takes a great deal of skill to use well. Go QQ about a Thief that can literally fight while invisible due to the culling issue or a warrior that can be downed and then say “kitten being downed” and get up and fight like normal. >.<

Yeah, we’re OP.

I’ve made about 800 million dollars from the national lottery if you include my new porsche. Used with intellegence and restraint it doesnt have to be evil. Just throwing money in at random and hoping for a lucky roll though, yes you are going to lose money.

^Did I understand that right? What non-random mystic forge recipes couldn’t be implemented in normal crafting? None. That’s what. But that would require a player work to improve their crafting first. We don’t want that.

Scyntrus.2458:

@Xandax

What ele skill doesn’t need los? I also play ele and I would like to know. The patched lightning strike a long time ago.

Aside from big AoEs.

On a staff elem….
Fire 2, 5
Water 2,3,4,5 (AoE healing from the ground onto a wall.)
Air 1,4, 5 (Air 1 chain bounces doesn’t require LoS, air 4 buffs allies you can’t see behind you)
Earth 3,4,5

Mesmer has…
GS 3,4
Staff 5 (lol, it’s a defensive tool)

That’s it, iirc.

Maybe we should nerf elem?

MF is just an excuse to pull rares/exotics out of the economy to keep their value up. Now the fact that precursors can only be obtained from them or, even rarer from lv 80 chests, is fail. Pure fail.

I pretty much run under the assumption that most people get their precursor from a gold seller or they get the gold they used to buy their precursor from a gold selller or the gem store. I know many people I’ve talked to tend to feel this way. Either that or they exploited one of the many early on money making bugs.

I mean, statistically you probably didn’t get lucky. If you did, then that’s not real achievement. You just got lucky. If you didn’t, if you bought your gold from Anet or a gold seller – how is that any less of an achievement.

It’s not. Because getting a precursor takes as much ability as a monkey tossing poop into a bowl. That’s what I’ve been doing. Tossing kitten into a bowl hoping for a reward.

I wish I could speak freely, but sadly moderators exist. I have an elem and a mes at cap. I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that I’m way more dangerous to your siege as a elem than a mes. There are very few skills a mes can use to hit siege from the ground. Someone mentioned about there being places you can put seige to protect it from elems/rangers. That sounds broken to me. You shouldn’t be able to fully protect your siege. So we mes might be able to counter it. Perhaps you could stand in front of it so we can’t target it. Or maybe, I don’t know, just kill our berserker with it’s tiny hp pool. It takes all of 3 seconds.

Doesn’t say a thing about it being a rare or hard to obtain item. And doesn’t say a kitten thing about it being a casino reward.

hemigidius.9374:

this is a sad sad day for wvw, any form of strategic value, and tactical warface just got removed from wvw…

That’s not true at all.

The relationship to this song makes the weapon that much more awesome.

Some of us don’t want a focus. Some of us use GS/Staff. Some of us had to switch to their elem to do the Clock Tower. Some of us are sad.

Btw, we’re not the only class with a teleport. Thief has a 25% speed boost passive and several moves that are blinks. All blink does is make your character run really fast to a target. You have to be able to run to the destination. If you can’t then you can’t blink there. Thieves blink all the time.

What Ross said. Blink would be perfect.

Lol, we know how everyone that got hundreds of gold rich got that way. Same way they do in reality.

iCryptik.1496:

The light WvW helm also covers the shoulders as well.

I can’t tell you how sad I was when I realized this.
Oh well, winged cowl then.

I assume you cleaned out your mail, right? Sometimes it just takes a long while. Are you two on the same server?

the first thing that pops into my head is “Dungeons.” That’s one of the things they’re there for. I have a lot of fun running them to get that loot. I don’t mind grinding for tokens even. At least I know my progress is consistent and I’ll have something to show for my effort.

This is not the case with precursors. But it could be. Create two new gifts.

Gift of the Challenger -Made with four full stacks of the first four dungeons’ tokens.
Gift of the Victor – Made with four full stacks of the last four dungeons’ tokens.

Then to make a given precursor, combine the two gifts above with 250 ecto and a particular item that varies based on the precursor desired. For example, if you want dusk you could use a full stack of corrupted lodestones.

Now we have a reasonable, yet difficult route to a precursor that emphasizes PvE content. The only thing left, in my view, that would need fixing is to make the weapons soulbound on acquire. That would allow the currently listed ones to be purchased at their current prices and pulled out of the economy once and for all. That way, all your hard work will be for something rather than having everyone assume you just grinded orr for gold. >.<

So that’s just my view. I’ve heard people say simular things, but they’ve never outlined exactly how they’d do it. So I did. This should be a fun and rewarding process not a roulette spin. (Roulette is only fun if the players involved are sufficiently rich and sufficiently drunk. Two things most people are not. :P)

Nah, those guys were just more skillful at throwing their weapons into the forge. That’s why they got their precursors. More skill.

Totes.

Thank you for the Witch Hat! We love it.

No explorable mode dungeon is anything but a lv 80 dungeon. I don’t care what the game says it’s level is – It’s a lv 80 challenge.

I’ve done ac exp with lowbies before, but I prefer cap characters. They tend to play better. It’s true, and it only makes sense. The loss of one player can cost you the entire challenge. You need everyone playing at their best.

Thank you for telling us. Now I don’t have to dress in “meh” gear during my dungeon runs and infront of the forge. I’ll just wear my awesome stuff.

Yay for the witch costume! At least our female players can look kind of how they’d like. Now we just need one that has the same style hats for males… or better yet, a new piece of armor shaped like a steepled hat for combat!

I don’t see why I should have to take a break between enjoying content. Sure, I can see this happening if I ran the same dungeon over and over all day, but, like I said, this was the first time I had done any exp mode for AC. (Well for any dungeon actually.) This doesn’t hurt bots. Bots don’t coordinate dungeon runs, do they? This just hurts real players. And, worse, it makes us mad. I hope this was a bug. If it is not, then I’m very concerned.

with this really awesome group. So we swept through the place. The whole thing couldn’t have taken more than an hour and a half. I got 60 tokens the first, 60 the second, but 45 the last. Is this supposed to happen? I heard you should get 60 tokens the first time you run a path each day. Am I mistaken?

May I suggest, though I’m sure it’s been considered, setting and activation time for the event. Then checking each player as they enter lion’s arch. If they have experienced the event they go to normal lion’s arch. If they have not, they are moved to a group instance with a batch of players that have also not experienced the event. (Kind of like the clock tower group instance.)

Anyway, I know it won’t make a difference now. But it’s an idea for the future. Perhaps there are certain qualities to this event that make such a solution impracticable or undesirable.

I get that for the first option.

Passive speed boons on your char and no charr on your run. Nice.

But the difficulty is artificially raised by forcing it to be run with other players present. (Not to mention, classes that don’t get passive speed boons *cough*mesmer*cough* are at an immediate disadvantage) I can’t see myself for all the charr. It would be more enjoyable, in my opinion, if it were an instanced sequence. That way I can see where I can to know where to jump.

I love 6. Bandwagoners are lame.

I support the close of free server transfers.

No, I wanted dungeon gear with exotic level stats that had magic find as a default. Someone told me that such gear exists, but I can’t determine which dungeon offers it. I don’t want to spend gold on the gear available on the TP, I’d rather run through dungeons for it. I’m aware that I could buy gear off the TP with exotic rank and magic find as an attribute, then transmute it onto the dungeon skins. However, that defeats the purpose. Besides, It’s more fun to run dungeons, plus I get to keep all my coin. :P

I’d prefer to play through dungeons and collect tokens to get my first exotic set at lv 80, but I didn’t know if any of the dungeons offered a set with magic find. Thanks in advance if you can point me in the right direction, I checked the wiki and it’s still missing a lot of info on the dungeons and their rewards.

Wiki says you can get dawn from high level world event chests…. that sounds like more fun.

I only shatter at the end of the fight when I know it will kill the enemy. So should you. Shatter builds are meh.

noot.8641:

Well im not talking about thieves with shortbows who can only take down siege that is placed very close to the edge. because i was in Eternal battlegrounds, i was defending Durios post, and i put an arrowcart where No other player or treb could hit me, NO OTHER PLAYERS AT ALL. till some kitten mesmer came and he knew he could exploit hes phantasms he kept spawning them where no other ppl could hit me, destroying my siege and yes i have to stop using my arrowcart and focus on those kitten phantasms.. now thats just absurd! they shouldnt be able to reach that spot! i couldnt hold off the french zerg because i had to constantly focus on killing those phantasms.. C’mon ANET plx do smth about this!
and imo only rangers should be able to take down siege further away on the walls.

Your rage makes me happy for some reason.
The only ability mesmer has that can hit the top of a keep is Staff 5 iirc. It’s very weak and isn’t intended to be an offensive tool like Elems AOE, Ranger’s AOE, etc. So I don’t feel bad about trashing your siege with my GS 4.

DB tends to be rude when they win. Dancing and mocking players.

I thought that having only local chat and fights not showing on the map would bring a new degree of complexity and depth to WvW. You’d have to have message runners to coordinate forces and there’d be a time delay between when an enemy attacks and when reinforcements arrive.

Along with the determined buff (In the same range of the determined buff) give players a buff that makes them ridiculously powerful. So strong they could 2HKO an exotic geared lv 80. The chance of being wiped will keep enemy forces away from spawns. As it is now, they just stand a bit back and grind for medals. Of course, people could use the alternate exits to get around these camps, but they camp those too.

Just an idea. Maybe it’s not a good one, but something should be done. Spawn camping goes against the spirit of the game and makes it very hard for the underdog to come back. Go ahead all you spawn campers (and those of you who will say you aren’t) tell me I’m wrong. :P

There are times when tab targeting will take too long, and it’s just better to click your target. This is easy enough, except when you’re dealing with a zerg in WvW. So many effects and so many people, you can’t click on any one easily. But their names, those are much more prominent. If you could click on the name of the enemy to target them, I think that would make it much easier to pick out my desired combatant from the fray. It sure beats spamming clicks in the zerg or popping tab until I get to the right enemy. Just my view.

Khezekiah Bellamy.5016:

I wish the dervs would do something about this, like ohhh I dont know a permaban or something

Sounds appropriate. Cheating like this is blatant and should never be tolerated. Doing nothing about it is tolerating it.

This is ridiculous. They need to disable the orbs or fix this. Now.

Free server transfers need to end. It’s been long enough.

Focusing on the stronger server and trying to push them into a 3rd place slot will get them kicked down a tier, potentially making it easier on your server in the next round. Is that logic sound?

Careful Bro, your thread is way more inflammatory that this one.
