Guild Wars 2

TexZero.7910:

….Did they seriously go and link them to the leaderboards ?

Yuuup. Fractal leaderboard was supposed to be released in November 2013 but got quickly abandoned and never mentioned again.

maddoctor.2738:

some maps weren’t ever played (t1 maps other than swamp).

T1 exclusive maps were swamp and underwater fractal.

Azoqu.8917:

The back piece should of been out on the 23rd. It is just a joke that the PvP players (who don’t need legendary for stat swapping) gets it before PvE players. The biggest joke will be if I can get my PvP back piece made before the fractal one is released.

It should have been out back in December tbh.

No open world PvP and whole 5 minutes for a rez makes it very easy. Other than people playing mainly in groups and average player’s skill being actually not that bad not a whole lot would change. You can check wooden potatoes permadeath challenge vods and see how much more rules he made up just to have a chance of dying in GW2.

What about things like new raid wings and other challenging content?

Raids in the current form would be dead on arrival. Like completely dead.
“Other challenging content” would eventually be farmed if it has ways to disengage without a wipe.

We are WoW now.

Toggle option pls.

Got around 28 gold in less than an hour by doing full coe and full ta. Dungeon recipes and dungeon specific drops are my main money printers.

Ragnarox.9601:

Anet is continuing with their forced stuff let’s see for how long.

Probably till “9/10 players were afk during a ranked match! Fix nao!” threads will start to pop up all over the place.

Ah got it. They removed “daily pvp” daily… I though they removed all pvp dailies lol.

Mechalibur.9618:

Rewards – I’m hoping this improves with future releases, but so far the rewards for doing raids haven’t been that great.

Dropped from gorseval today.

There are no “other servers pve zones” so it would be kinda hard to implement. :P

Never went for new legendaries so I have no idea if there is non merchant way of getting it.

TPMN.1483:

What does the /s mean?

I was /s = serious about my post for the legendary recipe?
Personally I Think it is a good idea right now.. as most individuals have about 30-40 legendary insights.

/s = sarcastic.
5 years timegates are definitely gonna incentivize people to continue playing on the daily basis. /s

revox.8273:

its not about Ap, its about skill, this discrimination must end

It will end ONLY if devs will add inspect button or personal skill based content specific titles.

21k relics and 820 pristines. Add something worth buying to the fractal merchants pls.

5k ap is probably to filter out f2p/new players. It used to be a standard practice in dungeons.

Djinn.9245:

I’m a little confused by all those saying that “Elite Specializations” are just additional specializations and not supposed to be better than those we already had. If they’re not supposed to be better, why are they called “Elite”?

“9 new trait lines” is not as epic as “9 New Elite Specializations”.

How many people actually go past the enrage timer and then die to 200%-500% boss damage boost? I have seen it like 2 times. Once in beta and once during the first week.
Anet release some stats pls.

spoj.9672:

makes absolutely no sense

And this is why they will probably add new currency.

Russian BDO suddenly got region locked to CIS + baltic states.

I don’t even remember when I had to use the authenticator last time. My IP changes every 4-7 days.

Replace “expansion” with “season pass” and it all starts to make sense.

Zenith.6403:

Yes, I was so sure it would be one of those useless “are you sure you want to apply this upgrade to this item” messages and indeed just clicked yes without reading it carefully.

I honestly wonder what went through the designer’s mind when they made this kind of system. If the item is not soulbound in the first place, why would applying upgrade to it make it soulbound?

Because reasons. Don’t even try to understand why game build around account progression has soulbound items.

Zhaitan. Press 2 to shoot fireworks.

Beastitude.6805:

Hi, after today’s patch I noticed single encryption keys are selling for 20s on the vendor rather than the 5 for 20s, and I don’t see the change in the notes, am I missing something or was this unintended?

It is like that for 2 weeks now.

Wall is still there.

Wheel click is “Mouse 3”. Mouse 5 is one of the thumb buttons.

LA gonna explode during season 3.

From what I heard it will be craftable after next fractal update sooo never 2-4 months.

Swamp fractal revamp inc.

Old loot pinata learned how to tickle.

CaloraDavis.6280:

Just throwing this out there for a suggestion, but I think it would be beyond awesome to have something set up for a player to be able to design their own weapon skin. The skin would be account bound, and only usable by that one player. It seems like a lot of work, but it would be great. If it wasn’t possible, a doable concession would be designs submitted by players…..and more scythe skins.

“Workshop” system would be nice. It will be a huge pain in the kitten to set it all up though. I doubt it will ever happen in gw2.

Its just a bunch of streamers playing what is popular and new at the moment.

Do they drop at all? Been doing fractals almost every day and never saw anyone dropping one.

“Fun and entertainment” is not enough to keep people playing the same content in the same game for years.

I think there was the same problem with foci. TP category was called “Focuses” till someone few years ago renamed it to “Foci”.

I wouldn’t mind titles given to people who achieve hard content. But unique skins or the only way to get a specific class of armor…that I do mind. Raids are too hard to lock stuff like that behind.

Dungeons were hard too. This wing is already pugable. By the time legendary armor will be out pugs will speedclear wing 1 and will be comfortable in wing 2.

Dungeons were too hard? lol Okay then.

Check old threads in dungeon forum if you were not playing around release.

“Given the gold-gem exchange rate and saving 1.44 Copper coin on each salvage, you would have to salvage approximately 583,000 items before it becomes cheaper than using Master’s Salvage Kits” – wiki.
In 4288 hours over the past 1187 days I have salvaged 119,400 items on my account. It is bad.

Tahm.8290:

The Silver Fed one is already a huge waste of gold, I feel like a gold fed one would be even worse.

ya that 60c brutal.

okies back to game where I wp spam for guild bounties @ 1.5s-4s each time.

Cost/use is pretty bad.

It is a very rare bug. Saw it myself couple of times.

Spaceman Spiff.2516:

TL;DR: I love the popularity of new fractal system but hate the lack of skill in the players.

I hate lack of ar on players. Hate it so much in fact that when I will pug next time I will trial people with agony orb in fractal lobby.

Rising Dusk.2408:

dekeyz’ config,

What does it do?

No. It is a huge waste of dev time.

As long as you use text recognition dps meter and overlays that don’t dig in game files or read it’s memory you will be fine.

Thanks anet.

randomguy.1283:

5 months? It’s going to be about 3 months, sounds like its going to be herein february. It was coming out march at the LATEST and thats 4 months.

~1 months till next wing. You need 3 wings + timegated mats from them so that’s extra 4+ weeks after last wing is out. Whatever that chest unlocks will be available in ~6-7 months. Fun.

New fractals confirmed. New take on fractal leaderboards is also confirmed.

Still don’t understand how gliding can mess with jumping puzzles. Almost all jumping puzzles are horizontal or vertical where you need to jump up all the time. So how gliding (slow descending) can be worse than leap skills or a portal?

Altair.8402:

The next elite spec will cost 2500 skill points to max, and the hero points in the next zones will give 100 points upon defeating a raid boss. Calling it now.

Way too easy and not gw2 like.
All hero points on the map are unlocked by 2 hours long meta event. When meta is complete you have 5 minutes to get hero points before you get kicked out to the empty map. You can not rejoin your map if you had a dc.
