Guild Wars 2

A list is nothing more than an opinion. If any of you where to write up a list, it would e one biased towards you tastes. Just as the one above is biased towards their editors tastes.

From this we can only gather one fact. It made their top 100 list.

Will it make your top 100 list or mine? That does not matter much, we are not the one with blogs, and thus there is not enough salt in the world…

For a second I thought this was going to be something advertising an offline meet, sorta like we did in ET at Las Vegas a few months ago.

I was getting ready to make a fool of myself in front of my fellow players again. But This works too.

Reward or not, I raise others because I like it when others raise me. What goes around comes around. Its part of keeping the community healthy.

As much as I want harder content, I do not want it at the expense of other content. If I had a say, id say for a new hard boss and leave this one as is.

They admitted that interaction with last years Halloween’s sinks was not fun. So its extremely doubtful the amount of candy corn you will need for this year will be as high.

This is one of the things that I would like to know how Arena net themselves handles or brushes off.

How far can we as players go? Where is the line that cannot be crossed?

Often times we need clear, hard examples to know what we can and can not do.

We do want to know what they are working on, They want to keep their jobs, I want them to keep their jobs. Company policies must be obeyed regardless if we agree with them or not. Its one of the truths of the working world.

Magic Find on my open world/dungeon amulet, Karma for my WvW and Agony Resist for Fractals. There is laurels a plenty to get more than one Amulet/infusion.

Solomon Darkfury.3729:

Nope never going to happen for two reasons…

1) exclusivity of having been on and supported GW2 since launch or at least their first real “event”

2) If they did they would have to refund a TON of players who have those skins listed on the TP as they would now never sell…

and rest assured this was asked for before in a thread HUNDREDS of posts long last Halloween

There is always of a chance of them getting re released for whatever reason Anet deems a good one. Keep Monocles and Jetpacks in mind.

Baels.3469:

Zoso.8279:

Taking into account Ascended weapons being able to be crafted Legendary weapons are more of a skin then anything else so I don’t see a problem with them being able to be bought with gems other then being able to change stats i.e power/precision/conditon etc.

And even being able to be bought the price might push some to just work on other things till pre courser pops up.

So if I decided to put $400 of my pay into gems (Yeah, good luck…), bought Twilight, etc. outright… You would consider that a “Legendary”?

How about in game gold? If I put loud music on, my eyes glaze over from farming champions for 10 hours a day, legendary?

Earning an item through meaningful game-play would be “Legendary”. Deciding I had no better use for a portion of my paycheck would not be.

Could pretty much implement a bunch of challenges quite easily without creating additional content..

As a very poor example: Finish every path of every dungeon without a single member of your party dying. Participate in all major meta event world bosses without dying. (yourself). Complete x event, y event, z event chain without failing, or without x % of NPCs dying.

You get the picture.

“I did all this, and this is what I have to show for it. It was challenging, and whilst it took some time, it was far more entertaining than 2300 hours of champion farming.”

Doing those ‘challanges’ is the same as putting loud music on and letting your eyes glaze over.

Both are time spent playing a video game. Nothing more, nothing less.

I honestly hope that we get nothing this year, and that they cancel Halloween and winter as well.

They where vocal during season 1 and too many players decided their blog was an unbreakable oath.

No one is denied anything. Every one has the freedom to chose to organize themselves. And guilds have the ability to spawn the worm at their own leisure outside of their spawning time(which is already done so their map gets filled with their own people).

Have I done the event successfully? No. Am I being denied content? Not at all. I have the option to participate in, or if I cant get into those runs, I have the option to organize myself and others.

There are other guilds besides TTS that do them. eG and Att are the first ones to come to mind. (Apologies for missing the other organized guilds that still do this)

In my opinion, they are all fairly unattractive, but I would still like them in game, just for the sake of variety.

The last two pieces have an anvil hanging from them…

I have a few guild mates in their 70s. They are retired military and always have interesting stories to share.

I am already married to seven people in the game across various servers. How do you expect me to pick just one?

/cry

I did not even know Sonder was back, or let alone considered he could be the reason for the price spike. Thanks for the responses.

Over the past few weeks, some one or certain some ones have been buying up the taffy supplies. Today, they hit 1s. Over 200k supply drained in a span of a few hours. Is this a sign of dragon bash returning?

http://www.gw2tp.com/item/43319-piece-of-zhaitaffy

Disclosure

I bought when it was at 25c and listed at 1s. My money has been made and secured, now im just wondering why the supply is dropping so much.

I admit I am one of these Key runners chasing after a carrot.

With that said, I would advise people running keys not to open their chests until the two weeks are almost up.

Why? Anet has a habit of changing drop rates towards the end of events (Chaos of Lyssa being the most recent one of these)

For now, I will keep on doing what most others are. Looking at the buy orders, if any are filled and if more new listings come up.

The people of the land are starting to join guilds. A new world magic has been created.

In all honesty, I believe this is an easter egg based off the anime Log Horizon.

Tier 6-8. Full of solo roamers.

Yes, you can get it in EotM, or WvW for that matter. You get it from keep lords.

Dusty Moon.4382:

The server identity only counted for WvWvW (EotM also) and sPvP, in reality. That is really all it was for. I don’t think A.Net will turn off the megaserver. I think you will have to learn to live with it or find a different game.

Server Identity goes beyond that. Our server has had two off line meet ups. One in New York, another in Las Vegas. Both of which where attended primarily by PvE players.

I realize we may be the rare exception, but to say that it is only limited to those game modes is completely asinine.

But yes, Mega Server is here to stay. It does more good than harm.

That is a bit more info on us [Nob]. Best of all, we are already on ET with you and we have several Husband/Wife duos in the guild already.

[Nob]s first WvW clip.

It is short, a bit messy, but so is Tier 8.

Please keep an eye on the commander for the Nobbie action.

Nobleese Oblige [Nob] is recruiting players, whether you are a PvE’er, WvW’er, sPvP’er new player, a veteran, casual, or just want new friends and people to play, any and all players are welcome.
What Our Name Stands For
To imply that with wealth, power, and prestige come responsibilities.
Our History
Past: Before Nobleese Oblige started in Guild Wars 2 it was also a guild in previous games.
Nobleese Oblige was founded in guild wars 2 on December 2012 and was mostly a PvE guild during that time.
[Nob] started off as a small unknown guild on Eredon Terrace that did what they wanted to do, have fun playing guild wars 2, and as [Nob] grew so did our players.
As the months went by, Nob started to grow both in players & being known to others for our PvEmanders, our temple runs, world boss runs etc.
some of our members then started getting into World vs World, it was hard at first as we knew nothing of World vs World at the time, but as time went by our members started getting more experienced in the field.
As time flew by, our members became one of the best roamers on the server, we became hardened veterans as we fought endless hordes of enemies, outnumbered, and slaughtering our enemies either solo, duo, triple etc.
We died, A LOT, yet we fought on enjoying the wvw aspect of the game and becoming better in our performance & we strived to improve our skill & experience on the field.
Then came Living story, every 2 weeks a new patch with new “content”…only..it was for PvE, our wvw presence withered away as we drove ourselves to get those rewards every new patch, glorious rewards that took bank space upon bank space, gold..so much gold to get yet too little to spend it on, and we occasionally popped into WvW for a few fights.
Until now.
Present Day: Our WvW presence has grown significantly and we have gathered even more members into our guild and are now making our push into being known in World Vs. World and are trying our hands at group compositions/zerg busting with our “WvW Rally Days”.
This zerg busting “WvW rally days” is a big accomplishment for us, as Nob consists of roamers upon roamers…to get them into a big “group” and mow down anything that stands in our way is an accomplishment for anyone. sure, We die alot but we pick ourselves up and go at it again & again & again, never give up.
What does our future hold?
Predicting a future is always hard, especially in an MMO that is very volatile.
However, with that said, [Nob] plan on staying together on Eredon Terrace, fighting along side our hardened soldiers who fight day in & day out in the world vs world lands.
We plan to increase our WvW size, grow as a guild together, kill as much enemies as we can, and as always we want everyone to have fun!

NonToxic.9185:

And better yourselves! There are no rewards, no chances of winning, and rarely fair fights.

But in this vicious environment of 1:3 roaming combat, DIY upgrades/seige, and outnumbered gang fights, you will be forged into a player of such caliber even the kings of Leaderboardia will fear and respect you.

This is boot camp. This is sink or swim.

This is Eredon Terrace.

This. Exactly as he put it.

As time goes on, we will have our ups, we will have our downs, but we will remain.

So, if you are looking for an uphill battle, this is the place to be.

With ET going on its usual Ups and Downs, Nob is taking this opportunity to look for a few more players.

Other than needing bodies in general, we are looking for a good pair of necromancers. (Everything else too, but really want a pair of necros :P )

-Teh Ouchies guild leader of Nob

If you look at your collections tab, at the bottom of the special Minis there is a ‘Mini Mystical Dragon’ that has yet to be released as well.

I believe we will be getting it at the start of LS2.

Why? Last year, the bazaar vendors accepted Taffy for Zephyr boxes. This year they did not.
For the second Halloween event, players that wanted the Prince Thorn mini where required to get mass amounts of candy corn to get him.

I believe they wanted all that taffy to stay in the game because Dragon Bash will be around soon and it may also require mass amounts of Taffy to get whatever one of the rewards may be.

This, of course, is pure speculation on my part and has no real shred of evidence behind it.

It is possible to get to the very top. There are screens/videos of it from the previous festival.

The season isnt over yet. Week 9 is still in progress for 6ish more hours.

This is the look a friend and I settled on. (originally posted on the black lion forums several hours ago)

Trying to figure out how to post screens.

Edit Pandas where not included on the screenshot, but they are slightly off screen.

I believe when LS2 kicks off and if any new maps are added or Hubs required, the Airship will leave Gend Fields and follow the story.

Favor of the Pavilion can be sold on the market. Listings are at 12g. Yes, it can be used to make gold, but you must pray to the RNG gods to get those. (stack of 100 got me 1 so far)

These where left over entry tickets from last year. If you pay for tickets, I doubt you will make any profit.

“According to those who went to the Chinese Beta Festival, players will have chance to get guaranteed rewards from past Living Story events in this patch (i.e. those from meta achievements) but rare drops such as Monocle and Molten Backpack will likely not be available for NA/EU players.”

I enjoyed the hours she spent killing me last year. I look forward to fighting her again.

With or without any changes to the encounter, I will still choose to play it and enjoy it.

With the Tower of Nightmares all the side room where instanced. To me, that means that Anet did listen to the concerns that where voiced during the Jubilee. Personally, I do expect/think that the solo arena fights will be instanced this time around.

Thanks for sharing this. The actual song is great in both languages. But the end of that video, was more than little silly.

Telemin.7380:

Can we get one PvE map that has banks, crafting stations, black lion ( I dont care if its locked behind another 1000 gems) that is not on the mega server? This, at the very least will help servers keep their identity outside of wvw.

You do – Caledon Forest – Queensdale – any of the lvl 1-15 areas have them (you have 5 of them) – if you use crafting you can get to your bank.

I guess that means you really haven’t looked around and explored.

Go and double check those maps. They are in the mega server. (Anets list on the forums is incomplete)

Can we get one PvE map that has banks, crafting stations, black lion ( I dont care if its locked behind another 1000 gems) that is not on the mega server? This, at the very least will help servers keep their identity outside of wvw.

We where doing a bounty hunt today. Our small guild was struck by the mega server. With only 7 of us attempting it and the ‘mega server’ still split us up. With our already limited man power, we lost more time to taxiing our few over.

I would like an option at log in to not be in mega servers.

Why?

I do not roleplay, I dont want to see salad porn either. And im sure they dont want to see me as well.

Our server had scheduled times to do temples (Anet, your mega server map list is incomplete). Now, when we just tried to do them at our normal scheduled time, we got blocked out of all temples.

Trolls, rude people and such from other servers.

What little sense of community my server had left, was just destroyed in one quick swoop by Mega Server.

Believe it or not, I am actually hoping for a RNG mechanic, that may give something other than BOOMies on use.

Thanks for the response.
