Guild Wars 2

Now over 50 silver. Not mentioned in notes. Intentional?

fellyn.5083:

Actually in the live stream the other day they said the salvage kit does in fact matter.

The better the kit the better your chances of getting a light of luck and/or more of them per salvage.

Now I don’t know if that is actually true but that is what was said during the live stream.

So if that’s true I’m really thanking anet for the free 150 or so mystic stones they’ve given me in the last month from ap chests.

They absolutely did say that in the live stream. They have since corrected themselves and said the kit doesn’t matter. It’s in a post talking about the eternal salvage kit being useless if what they said is true.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

To answer the OP’s question the devs stated in the july blog that people with current MF gear will be compensated for the gear they already have.

Yes, and now it is time to tell us how that will happen, please.

This is what I came in to ask as well. The log out for an hour suggestion doesn’t seem right… when I logged in this morning after waking up, I was still getting terrible event rewards from the Maw (which I hadn’t done today). Maybe it’s an hour of game play. I just did a dungeon and now I’ll try idling in DR… maybe that will clear it up.

The Meat Wagon.7194:

I got my achievement for it with about 10 min left in the overall event. I jumped between events during the first wave and i’m sure i got the 5 closed in that time but i did not get the notice of the achievement until later.

This happened to me as well. Works for me

Yup. Today’s daily is a freebie, too.

My thoughts: I am totally ok with this.

It doesn’t look like it’s a key or anything. If you read the text at each place, you shouldn’t need it. And if you get lost, you can switch chars and use it or check Dulfy.

Yup! Tokens only come from explorable mode, which you have now unlocked for AC. Story mode is a speedbump to getting rewards. Enjoy the actual story while you are in there, and never go back.

LOL they will not remove armor/weapons from our characters. We won’t be logging in nude. That’s absurd. They will just redo what the enchantments with MF in them do.

No matter what they do, why destroy your MF stuff now? I don’t know about you, but I’m still using it!

There was no mention of removing +gold from the game in the official article. Anything else is just rumor.

None of this will change unless there is a nerf, until they add crafting materials for the level 500 stuff to the mega events. This will include temples, dragons, etkitten

il then, try the Pavillion for loot, and try having your guild work on the dynamic events with you?

Unless, like mine (and me), they are all chasing boxes

Martin Kerstein.3071:

Fractal Relics (the regular ones) have been removed from Mystic Forge recipes. Those recipes now use Piles of Crystalline Dust instead.

Hope that helps

Is this a permanent change, or only until you can make a Fractal Thingamabob to replace the relics in the forge?

Edit: Wait, what does this even affect? Glob/Shard/Vial transmutation, nothing else? If so, not a big deal at all

3 daggers and an axe will give you a random weapon and will never give you an armor.

I mix water weapons and sub-80 weapons every day, and the result is always a weapon.

Only if you mix armor and weapons will you not know which you will get back.

^ LOL! So very true. Enjoy your feast

Ugh, do we have to get the one(s) in the pvp lands to get to 30?

Thanks! 15chars

One of the new Daily tasks is ‘Daily Activity Participation’. What does that mean?

Killing the champions has virtually no effect on the golems. They run into ice spikes and die FAR more often than a champion even looks at them.

It would be nice if people would score 10k or so damage on the champions and then get back to ice spike duty. You still get credit when Jormag’s Claw gets stunned and they die. You don’t need to beat on them for 5 minutes; it’s a total waste of time since they usually die from the Claw getting stunned before they die from HP loss.

He’s going to take forever if there’s incentive to kill the Champions and no one is on spike duty. Plan accordingly.

Oh I see, I misread. Well, even better, this is very awesome

I think it’s a very valid question.

Making the precursor will require crafting level 500 and lots of new materials.

Then to actually make the Legendary (with Ascended weapon stats) will only require crafting 400? I’d like to see that confirmed as well ‘cause it seems odd to allow making an Ascended level weapon with ’only’ level 400 skills. Especially if, as they have stated in the past, precursors will continue to drop in loot.

I have my precursor and am slowly grinding my last materials… do I need to panic-finish it or not?

The constant repeating of the same dialogue over and over again in cities is both obnoxious and breaks realism.

Thanks.

I’m disgusted with Maddie just woo hooing constantly. Really, her 3 round buff has a three round cooldown? There’s no skill here, just luck. Just keep trying until the computer is stupid and lets you have a round of healing. Not fun.

From Facebook:

[Poster] Personal Quartz Node, Do we need to buy new harvesting tools for that? Hope I can use my tools I bought in the gemstore for this.

Guild Wars 2 Mike, no special tools are needed. In fact, you can mine the personal quartz nodes with any level of mining pick. ~RB2

You should submit a support ticket and then not return to this thread. There’s a lot of babble in it about what the dev should or should not do from a lot of people who aren’t devs, and therefore don’t matter. Let the devs decide what they want to do.

The only thing I want changed is the timer when breaking the cage/defeating the last boss. I’d like to recommend the fractile ‘move on?’ dialogue instead… I have had two guildies so far fail to get all the stuff out of the chest due to getting killed/knocked down by the boss. It seems unneeded to make this a timed thing.

The rest works for me, even if parts of it are very difficult for me

In today’s patch notes, you say:

1) Increased the loot rewards on many world boss chests, including the chests in Orr temples and the dragon chests.

2) Fixed a bug on certain world boss chests that was causing them to drop fewer rewards than intended. These chests can now only be looted once per day, to encourage players to fight multiple bosses and spread out across the world.

First, if you are limiting chests to 1/day, I think that merits its own bullet point and a large shout out.

Second, is it only SOME world event chests that are once per day? That’s what the text implies, since it is right after ‘fixed certain world boss chests’. You need to be clear. What exactly can we only loot once per day?

Third, is the once per day per account or per character?

I’m not complaining about the change. But I do think that it is a very big deal and it is not explained well enough in my opinion.

Thanks

Those are not T6 herbs. My wife is also seeing this issue, with a mithril sickle (which is appropriate for the herbs in question). I have not.

Essence Snow.3194:

^^This..I have 9 lvl 80s and had one parked at every meta event that had a chest so as to avoid WP fees.

Congrats on 9 of them. I’m working on my third now.

So long as you play the events you should be fine to park characters in a given area.

This is not working.

Example: Fire elemental chain in Metrica. My smaller character does the events leading up to the fire elemental. As soon as the elemental actually appears, I bring in a level 80 and kill the elemental. No chest.

In between events such as these, my other characters are wandering around the world killing things… I don’t JUST log into events.

I don’t know what the larger picture here is, but I do know that I made multiple 80s to park them at important places, and now I’m doing quests and getting no reward. I do not find this a fun experience. I don’t know how to ‘play the game properly’ in order to make sure I get the rewards I earn. It’s extremely frustrating.

Thanks for reading.

Hello,

I had already completed the January Monthly. When I logged in just now, I expected to get 10 laurels. Was not getting them by design?

I have just completed my Daily, post patch. I did not get a laurel. Is this by design?

I can see there needing to be a daily/monthly rollover before these work properly, but I don’t see anything in the patch notes calling that out.

Apologies if this is already spelled out somewhere. Thank you.

Try again late tonight… the server might open up. I had the best luck jumping around at 11pm and at 7am.

Yeah, no cogs for running after rollover.

I’d like to see the PvP stuff removed from the first Monthly. We have Monthly and Monthly PvP, but both take PvP to complete.

One for PvE and one for PvP would be much better in my opinion.

Thanks for reading!

I still get tiny totems and weak blood when I mess around in starter areas.

Depotboy.6204:

This event has been….wow.

You’re right, this current DE has killed everyone trying to attempt it. The kicker is when we go to waypoint, we either crash and have to restart, unable to join our parties in the now full overflows OR we sit at a never ending loading screen. How do you design events that your engine can’t support?

And if you do get into an overflow, surprise! No bridge, no waypoints, no Phase 3.

Kay, guess I was wrong to follow the official posting. Seriously, we can’t get consistent information?

There’s nothing on https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/november-2012/#lost-shores-weekend-event that says Phase three starts [here]. We already knew it would take PLACE on the island, but it doesn’t say where it STARTS.

There is something in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/lostshores/New-content-when-where that says ‘Starts in Lion’s Arch’

So while it’s reasonable to be worried, they do have exactly one post saying"It starts in Lion’s Arch" with no contradictions.

So that’s where I’ll be.

I wouldn’t mind the difficulty at all if the loot wasn’t just as terrible as everywhere else.

If Gukumatz gives you a container, and then the skritt steals from him and you drop it to fight the skritt, he won’t give you a new container.

You can’t gather his materials without the container.

I cannot proceed in this quest.

Anything I can do?

Edit: Yes, the bottle falls into your inventory. Woot! I can proceed.

Tag, thank you!

Thanks, Khisanth. Sigh

Tyler Bearce.3427:

So to clarify this a bit-
It is intentional that if you switch to a new home server, you will temporarily stop receiving the WvW server bonuses. As for duration, it’s disabled for the rest of the week long match, and I believe for the duration of the next matchup as well. This restriction exists to discourage players from switching servers. That said, if you’ve never switched servers, and your server is far enough along in the matchup to have a bonus, and you still aren’t getting the bonus, let me know.

If I changed servers it was at the start of the game. I don’t remember, but if I did, it has been at least a month since I did. None of my characters have the WvW bonuses showing when you mouse over the castle icon. Would very much like to see this fixed, thank you!

Twice, once last night and once just now, I have put 4 yellows (level 40-60) into the Forge and gotten nothing in return. No item. Is this known? Is the ‘Forge will return baubles for low level Rares’ broken?

Anyone else had this happen?

That’s a reasonable idea, but we run three pairs of characters together, and two of those pairs at 80. I have never gotten an extra gather in that time. And I’ve been paying attention

Tayledras.1604:

In the interest of helping you out a bit I would ask…do you have map completion on all the high level zones? I finished Frostsound Gorge and one of my rewards was 40 Gossamer Scraps, so they’re a possible reward for that.

Additionally I got a fair bit from Heavy Moldy Bags and salvaging white cloth armor drops in Cursed Shore…and the mountains of Silk you’d get from this can be taken to the Mystic Forge and turned into smaller piles of Gossamer.

Any rough idea how much Goss you would get from 250 silk?

Thanks!

When I am out gathering, I get:
Plants: 1
Ore: 3
Trees: 3

Sometimes, my wife gets additional gathers. For example, she may be able to gather 4 times from an Ore.

This is not ‘oh she got a double drop from one hit’. This is ‘she gets to push “Mine” a 4th time" or ’She can gather from a Plant a second time.’

Any ideas why she gets this extra occasional harvest and I never do? I can’t think of anything different about the characters.. we are in the same clan, hunting in the same area, and using the same tools.

Thanks!

Thanks a bunch for the info on magic find and chests. Very appreciated!

Once upon a time a game called Diablo 3 was popular. Then that game nerfed anything that was fun to use into boring-ness. Then, that game took the better path of buffing things that AREN’T used instead of nerfing things that are used. But it was too late and Diablo 3 lost a ton of its momentum.

Learn from Diablo 3. Buff things that aren’t used. Think carefully before nerfing things that are.

It feels like every set of patch notes has lowered lowered lowered all over it. I know you are a new game, and balance can only be chased, never found. I’d just rather it be chased in another direction.

Thanks for reading.

It re-started at 9:53, got the hat. Yay!

You can repeat it, yes? So if you missed the chest, no big deal?

I won’t go near the clocktower event, but since it doesn’t count towards this, I have the title!
