Guild Wars 2

Wouldn’t it just be easier to give us real, accurate information? It would clear up a lot of confusion about this. Certainly an ANet employee could shed some light here.

Here’s a few ways of making 3-4 gold a day taking 1-1.5 hours a day. At that rate, NOT including drops, you will be able to afford the ENTIRE Art of War level in 5 days with a 5 person guild group.

1) AC exp paths 1-3

2) CoF (Path 1>1>2)

3) Tradepost flipping

4) Ori-ore farming in Frostgorge Sound or Orr

5) Material flipping from Mystic Forge (granted, has RNG)

I’m sure there are more ways…but it will take a guild of 5 people 5 days…at 1.5 hours a day.

And during that time they’re not having any fun whatsoever. If I wanted more work I’d pick up a second job, this is a game.

So your guild does not find any joy from doing dungeons together, roaming the world looking for ore together, or mat farming together?

Alrighty then.

Dungeons are aggressivly unfun. Mat farming is aggressivly unfun. Roaming the world is fun and collecting random things is fun, but by requiring collection and donation of all your ori you’ve just turned it into a job and made it unfun. Roaming the world, doing events together and whatnot is fun and I’ve been able to make almost 7k influence for my guild doing that over the last 4 months or so, but in a 5 man guild where most people can play for only an hour or two per day max we’re talking a couple hundred influence/day max. We haven’t built anything in the past month in preparation for this, not a single banner or upgrade, and we’ve managed to bank slightly over 5k influence. Out of 36k and how many build days required for AoW 5.

Just because you can’t trigger these events right away does not mean that you can’t participate in them – and doing so will probably get you significant influence.

It sounds like a good opportunity to network with other guilds and people on your server, and that sounds like fun to me! You’ll meet new people and accomplish goals together, and maybe you can get some more people in your guild, or not – completely up to you.

To be completely honest if you’ve only banked 5k influence, what other missions were you expecting to be able to unlock? Do you have any upgrades at all?

I have to think that the dev response here is a misspeak.

It would be silly if the missions were gated in such a way that you needed to unlock one to unlock another. The way I envision it working is that they are spread out along the trees, so, for example, the bounty one is tied to AoW, but another might be tied to Economy, another Politics, etc.

I think it would be a bad design choice to do it in the way it seems to be initially answered in this thread, and I can’t see why they would do that, but it’s not like they haven’t made silly decisions before. Hopefully they will clear it up in this thread, otherwise we’ll just have to wait and see.

I am sorry, but that workaround does not work. Even if the whole group wipes (which we did multiple times, yay repairs), it does not fix it.

Someone I know did get mobs to spawn eventually but during the next round they did not spawn again.

Please fix properly and if I may so humbly ask, please test this stuff better.

Thanks

Confirmed bugged, please hotfix ASAP. Bugs that stop fractals from being completed are not acceptable (it was 3/3 for us and we had to abandon our run)

Thanks

I was able to get in at rollover (0/0/0) with my guild [USA] and Yak’s was definitely hammering us on their BL. We were desperately holding on to basically Greenbriar and Victor’s supply. We had a great time defending it until you finally rolled over us.

Honestly, I have been on every night this week (and on SoR since launch) and I am not entirely sure what happened with this owning the whole map nonsense. I am proud of our server and I think our guild works very hard, but it does seem to be a little unfair. Who knows what will happen this week as it is only Monday.

If it helps any, I am sure we will be rewarded with a bunch of bandwagon server transfers and crushing queue times next week. Sorry for any doucebaggery you might be experiencing.
