Guild Wars 2

I got an alt from lvl 1 to 18 with jeweler 0-400.

I farmed a little events to get karma for high end recipies so its more lvl 1-16/17

If I get a second crafting profession to 400 on that character I could probably get it to lvl 30-40.

Thats without boosts, so it is possible to get maybe 30-40 levels just through crafting alone.

When you hump the dragon, it gives you dusk.

Well with ori ore nerf and badges of honour nerf getting your first full exotic set will take weeks unless you grind / farm the gold and just buy it.

No chance of getting a set through badges of honour or with ori ore nerf now.

You guys are full of kittens, even with 30 players against 30 players you cant take the gate room in EB jumping puzzle when they have 10+ siege and 30 players camping it 24/7….

Bart we dont have a problem with pvp, I have 1000+ kills in WvW, even helped lead my server a few times. Other players have done even more.

The issue is that specific area for camping is OP. Especially with siege weapons.

You can’t flank them you cant jump up to fight them, they can jump up and down with portals as often as they like. You have no chance of getting up the jump with agro to go fight them.

The cage room in EB jumping puzzle is OP for camping…..why do you think loads of players and guild just sit there all day long camping that one spot?

Because players can’t even fight back due to its huge advantage of the location.

It needs looking at and players are abusing that specific location.

Wish they would spend less time nerfing badge drops, ori ore, gold income, and everything else to do with progression and start fixing profession balance which is completely broken in pvp and WvW.

Stop nerfing game progression! You should of done that Before launch….

Also doing it without saying anything and no communication = terrible PR.

Sorry but it was still a stealth nerf and your still planning on nerfing ori ore? Why do you keep nerfing gold income? but don’t take back the gold exploited due to bugs and other things which is harming the economy more than ori is?

That nerf / change should of been in the patch notes. What other things have been changed that were not in the notes?

Also take away 24 hour server transfers, make it permenant or it costs money / gems to change servers. Problem solved.

Please stop putting in game mechanics that instead of stopping exploiters / botters / gold sellers is actually damaging the game and hurting the normal player base.

If you keep doing this silly things to nerf gold income and pretend its to stop botters you will just have noone left playing your game, they will all leave….

Thanks.

Why they insist on nerfing income and anyway to progress in this game I do not understand.

They are being too harsh with the lack of communication and stealth nerfs that are not in the patch notes which is convienient for them since they know we will not agree with it or welcome the nerfs.

This is hurting the game along with the ori ore nerf and is hurting the players these type of silent game changes and lack of communication.

This is still happening all the time, anyone else think the gate room is kinda OP place to camp especially with siege? Since there is zero chance of fighting back.

Any chance of a dev responce on if damage is the key factor at the moment in large events whether you get loot or not….

There has been definetly a stealth nerf on drop rates of badges of honour and nerf to how many you get from the jumping puzzle chests.

Can we get a dev to confirm this or explain how the badges of honour drop works plz?

Still having this issue.

Probably will get shot down for this but thought we could list all the players botters are bottng that we see, get some random data going and maybe some quicker bans.

There are currently 10+ botters running around sparkfly fen around the united arcanist lab location.

All rangers, all spamming 1, all wearing same armor skins, following exact repeatable route across enemy spawn locations, they all have names like [Edit] etc etc. They are all using the teleport hack.

An update! By popular demand and because it was a simple numbers change we lowered the net on any systems we felt were too harsh. These are not the last number changes, but this should help a lot an you can expect to see this change in the very next live build which should be in the next few days. We are not currently adding any new systems now or in the foreseeable future. There was an update a little while back that limited oricalcum farming via server and overflow swapping. This update was too harsh on normal players and we will try to increase the supply of these resources again soon. This requires some more number crunching and testing than the other change we made so it might take a bit longer.

Thanks,

Jon

Is there anything that can be done about camping the gate room in the jumping puzzle?

With siege weapons, and the fact the enemy is above you and you have not way of getting up there to fight them with agro as you can not make the jumps with agro.

It makes fighting back or having a fight with them or even a chance to being impossible.

There is no way to jump up to them to fight them and they can easily kill you with no chance of you winning the fight.

If there was a chance of actually fighting back then I would not have an issue but I think this needs looking at as more and more guilds are just using it as a camping spot in WvW.

To get almost to the end of the puzzle only to find 20 siege weapons, a whole guild and they have the high ground making it impossible even with 20 players to fight back is stupid.

The gate room in the jumping puzzle is basically camped 24/7 because that spot is so OP. Also with mesmers portals they can jump up and down as often as they like.

Please look at this arena net because if there not exploiting it they are kitten close to it.

Didnt get any search prompt. No exp, no karma, no reward. There was no chest for me.

I missed the pre event where you kill the corrupted crystals but was there for the wole event of the claw of jormag.

I even showed others how to get the crash landing achievement as they were asking.

At the end of the event I got nothing.

No chest and no reward I got completely screwed.

I participated in the event with 100% effort, I even guarded golems all the way to jormag a few times, did alot of damage etc…yet I got completely screwed on rewards.

Im gtting really sick of these bugs, so far iv lost over 10 gold to ori ore bugg and now I cant even get rewards for dragon events.

Can we plaease get a responce on this thread?

Lost about 10 gold so far past few days because of this bug…and I can’t craft my first exotic greatsword because of it no materials….

Still no responce?

Any info on fix for this?

Problem:
Orichalcum ore respawns aren’t working as intended. On some characters, only some nodes respawned within a 10 hour period. It is common knowledge that they actually respawn/refill within 5 hours of mining them.

Since most people have no idea how it works, orichalcum ore respawns DO NOT change until server resets and DO NOT have alternate spawn timers. We have no reason to believe that Anet has changed anything in their recent build because they didn’t say anything. The only explanation is that they screwed something up.

I’ve talked to a couple people and it seems to be a widespread problem. I don’t know why Anet hasn’t given a response as of yet. Oh right, probably because we have to get to their twitter or get the number of posts up to around 1000.

Maybe we should all protest naked in lions arch until they fix it or say something.

This is now stopping me from crafting because I can not mine ori ore as it does not spawn at all for me.

I can’t craft any weapons or armor I would like now because of this bug.

Arena Net wtf is going on?

On one item I looked up its price just that item specifically, it came up with price, the overlay list of all items came up with wrong prices but ok fine watever moving along. After looking up the price I see it is the cheapest in it’s category.

So then I decide to search for the item under lvl 76-80, its rarity type, and narrow the search to sub category. The list that comes up does not show the same item as the cheapest anymore. The item is infact coming up as alot more expensive then it actually is 3-4 pages down…..when in fact it is the cheapest item. Refresh does not fix this.

So if you type in manually the whole item name and search it comes up with correct price but by using search function it is not giving you the correct prices or showing you which is the cheapest correctly.

The search tab is giving the wrong information on the cheapest items. I tryed to refresh many times and it kept giving the wrong information.

Both on frost map bugged for me and not respawned. Wasted silver on waypoint costs…

Anet communication on this issue = kittens kittenskittenskittenskittenskittens

Rich ori ore in EB WvW jumping puzzle is bugged and did not respawn. The normal node did respawn.

So yeah still bugged.

Still no word from dev on this?

Not rolling back the exploiters gold was a huge mistake,

sad really, recovery of the economy is going to take a while

That’s utter KITTEN. The economy is broke because mats drop are low and mobs drop blue and green equipment. You can never make profits from crafting and even with rolling back the “exploiters” gold, you’re NOT going to fix the economy (because it was already broke from the beginning). How the hell is fixing “rich people” gold going to fix the economy of greens/blues selling at vendor level?

Some of this people, really, have no clue what they are talking about, and they just run their mouth off. Try thinking a little deeper, please!

Actually your both right.

There saying that those that exploited or used bugs to get rich and got to keep all there gold now control the economy to some extent as they have the ability on some items to buy out the entire economy of that item. They get to dictate prices for the rest of the players on the server.

This is damaging to the game because the majority of players won’t even bother now to go for cosmetic goals as the economy is too messed up to do it without a massive grindfest or waiting 6+ months or more for the items to become more common. Which won’t happen because anyone that put’s one up, the exploited gold hoarders will buy it up instantly and put it back up at 200-300 gold again….

The TP is a lost cause, add that with sales taxe’s and listing fee’s that in some cases eats u golds of your money, the damage is already done and I dont see it recovering unless Anet steps in and does something.

They literally broke the economy of this game before it got a chance to start…

I hope they get rid of that rage quit avoiding death crap.

Other games have agro timers so if you engage in combat you can not log out for 5 minutes even if you quit game.

Looks like they just everything to be a huge gold grind fest in this game, if so its not the GW2 I am looking for.

I just mined the rich ori ore in EB jumping puzzle and it was bugged or something.

Usually you get 3-4 (10 hits ) mines from rich nodes right? This only gave 3 hits before it broke.

It acted like a normal node not a rich node.

Silence from dev’s still? Really?

I did all 5 Malchor’s Leap Ori Ore’s just now with no problems, but all my Cursed shore one’s are bugged and not minable.

I found the 5th ori node in Malchor’s Leap. There are 2 in orb jumping puzzle not just one. Its on a top level cliff that goes outside near the main chests. Instead of walking to orb chests turn left, jump up the ledges and follow the slope around to the cliff. 5th node is on the edge of cliff.

I got kicked from server too, was like 4am or something, gave up trying to get bk in so went to bed wake up and….

Wth I have been rolled bk too….lost over 2 gold and loads of rares / ori ore/ ecto’s / loot / materials.

This is getting stupid now.

First support lied to me about getting my pre order items back saying they were unable to replace in game items due to in game bugs and now I lose 5+ hours of gameplay plus 2+ gold….

Starting to have 2nd thoughts about GW2.

gg Arena Net “when it’s not ready”

Just got kicked from game and now can’t log back in. Desolation Server.

Anyone else?

Thanks, I knew I should of finished my crafting last night lol

Oh well.

Seems weird we dont get the bonuses for 1 week after the match finishes.

Have started getting them yet? In beta there was a symbol on our character UI showing what server bonuses we got from WvW, I have not seen it since launch and was wondering when WvW bonuses will take affect?

Did we lose all the bonuses now since new WvW matches have started?

The whole guild system is terrible, upgrades are crappy aswell.

I did a bug report any ideas if its a bug and if a fix is due?

Can we get a dev responce plz?

Thankyou guys for the reply’s, is pretty obvious its not just me then.

Damage should have nothing to do with whether you get loot or not and those that do more damage should not get more chance of getting loot than others.

It’s a stupid system that punishes players and forces everyone into glass cannon specs which im guessing is not what the dev’s intended.

It seems what has happend is they have implemented something that whas suppose to stop botters and put in some anti farm mechanics but because they based those levels of design upon damage and how much damage you do….the system is flawed and instead of stopping farmers and botters, it is actually a system that punishes the normal player and forces them into a play style they may not wish to play.

Arena Net it would be nice to see some sort of responce to this and to get some more information.

Right now this can’t be an intended game design? Not enough damage = No loot.

Lets also be clear, these are players that are giving 100% to these events there not botters or farmers or gold sellers, there normal players giving 100% effort to these events and getting nothing due to a terrible in game system.

They still seem to work on mithril but I can’t get it took work on ori ore anymore.

They also miss alot or go in completely the wrong direction when you fire that skills even with something targeted.

The whole weapon needs to be looked at, its our only ranged weapon.

Hi,

Some might call me lies on this one as I try to discuss it in game and got flamed to hell saying its not true.

2 days ago I farmed a bit of ori ore with my master mining pick that had 125 uses and it worked fine, no problems at all.

I went to do the same yesterday and now suddenly all I get is ruined ore chunks.

Is this a bug? Thanks.

I went to take a golem banker out of my bank today and put it in my inventory but it will not let me drag it out of bank and into my invent, the box is red when I try.

Golem Bankers are account wide, why is it not letting me take it to my inventory?

Thanks.

The system they have put in for anti botting and to stop farmers is actually hurting the players and not really stopping the botters or farmers, its a terrible system.

ImariKurumi.5761:

Yes this definitely needs some attention, its unfair to Support Players especially, right now there is only 1 role, 1 class, 1 purpose, 1 path: Ranged DPS

This is kinda what im trying to point attention to, well part of it anyway ^^.

Guys your way off topic here and not understanding the original post. This is not a professions discussion or a discussion on how to tag mobs, that is not the issue.

The issue is and please read all the original post, how damage dictates whether you get on the loot table or not in medium and large dynamic events and WvW pvp. Were not discussing builds, professions, or solo pve.

Please stay on topic and read the OP before replying.

Lately this has been discussed more and more in the higher levels maps and forums and it needs a dev responce.

Here is where not having enough damage gets you no loot.

In orr or medium / large events. If you do not do enough damage you dont get any loot from the standard mobs or even the boss’s because there are too many player hitting it, or your not damage spec or you do something else besides damage in these events. This forces everyone to be glass cannon spec and pushed players into one single role or risk not getting any loot rewards.

It also seems to be the case of no damage in large / medium groups in WvW = No badges of honour. I tested this and noticed you could get 500 kills in big fights with almost no badges of honour. Soon as they switched to solo fights or small group fighting where I did alot of the damage…..suddenly badges of honour drop.

In orr we did a group event where you get attacked by waves of npc’s, 30+ I would guess, not a single drop from any of them, not one, not even from the boss’s. As soon as the event finished I killed a npc solo, instant rare drop.

Arena Net of your reward / loot system is based upon who does the most damage, who does alot of damage or tbh has anything to do with damage at all, then it is seriously flawed and needs to be re considered and looked at asap plz.

It pushed all players into glass cannons or one linear path of character builds to get rewards from drops, it also means players will be less likely to want to join group events knowing they will get hardly any rewards for it. It also alienates support characters or any player that wishes to try a different spec or help the group in some other way besides damage.

So Arena Net why is it like this? If its for anti botting then why are players that do not bot being punished aswell?

I think the whole system needs to be looked at again but it does not seem to be working as intended and is punishing the players not the exploiters or botters.

Im getting maybe 150-200 per 1000 kills…..I am getting hardly any for 50-100 kills sometimes, even on jumping puzzles im getting maybe 3 badge when I used to get 6+…per chest.

I hearing from too many players the same thing, we need to hear from a dev plz how the drop rate on badges in WvW work and if its been nerfed.

Why dont we get them for taking keeps and towers either anymore? We should get them for that aswell.

Guys let them team up as much as they want, the french cant win on there own. They need help.

We understand. Deso for life!

I am kitten and sick of kitten and I love kitten.

Seriously though for 100 gold why not make it account bound?
