Good weaponsmith/armorsmith leveling guide?

in Crafting

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

I’m still trying to figure out the basics of this crafting. Why is it so many games make the crafting so confusing anymore? Everquest 1 used to be a huge grind for crafting, but at least theirs was far easier to understand. Unlike games now where you have to go to some website just to try and figure the thing out. So far I’m really disliking the crafting in GW2.

Thank you for fixing Jormag

Apparently the dragon has no name? Going by what people are saying here?

I will always refer to it as Jormag, it’s the only thing that makes sense.

Annoying Sound Bug

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

I find it hard to believe they aren’t able to reproduce this on their end. There are far too many people with this same problem.

I am even willing to let them install software to run along with the game so that they can see what happens during the crash.
It happens almost every time for me.

The sliders do nothing to fix it for me. I think some just think it does because sometimes it will go a while without doing it. I don’t have a cheap sound card either, its an Essence STX, and I have also tried another brand of sound card with the exact same results.

I probably read this wrong, you were probably talking about dyeing the armor to match.

How do you dye a weapon? I don’t see an option for that.

Deleting the local.dat file did nothing for me also. I still have the crashes.

Was new music added in the 3/1/13 Patch?

in Audio

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

I haven’t paid attention to the music, and I don’t know if this is new or not, but I’m noticing a sound effect that is really annoying me. Its a jingling sound whenever you move/run your character around, for example in Lions Arch. I’ve never noticed that before, but I do now, and I hate it. Its like your running around with tiny bells or jingling metal chains attached to your character.

When we choose to go invisible, it should not be displaying your current location also, it should be hidden, or at least not updated.

Claw of Jormag mob farming nerfed

in Dynamic Events

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

Its not so much farming. Some of us are looking for a better weapon that what we have.

I’ve noticed the drops getting worse over time also. I also stopped combining items in the Mystic Forge, because for me it has just become a waste of items to sell to a merchant for a few silver.

Another holiday, another grind...

Actually it is a grind despite what some claim here. It’s not what I consider fun.

The Wintersday dud.

The post is too long for me to read it all, but this is another event I dislike. Whats with all the forced grouping in ALL of their events? There is basically nothing else to do if you don’t group with others.

Preview window

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

Maybe its just me, but it would be nice if the dye color in the preview window looked like it actually does on your character outside the preview window.

The dyes in this game change color so drastically, its ridiculous. Depending on what zone you are standing it, it can change from awesome looking, to totally ugly looking in the next zone. There shouldn’t be that much difference.

No rewards from Tixx in LA

I got a 15 slot bag out as a prize out of it. Although that was on a character I rarely ever play. A second character I tried got nothing out of the chest. I don’t know if we get the chest for each character or if its per account.

At least its better than the prizes given in the LOTRO game, where they give their customers worthless coal.

Mystery boxes? They changed the spawn :(

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

They remind me a LOT of the Fire Elemental, before they changed it. They have that same unlimited distance, with tons of area effect that is almost impossible to avoid.

As a solo gamer: Holidays are a pain.

Tim.9850

You’re playing a multiplayer game and you’re asking for new content to be singleplayer. Why?

“Multiplayer game” doesn’t mean forced grouping. Many multiplayer games require no groups whatsoever.

Extremely Dissapointed with Wintersday event

in Wintersday

Posted by: Tim.9850

Yet another event where you have to be in a group to fight in that floating blimp. Coming from a game that allows scaling, there is no excuse to force people to group.

I like the game itself better than I do these events.

Tier 3 Cultural Armor - Lets reign it in

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

When I first played the beta, the cultural armor I saw on an npc is what I really liked and planned on getting eventually. Although that all changed after the game came out and I saw the insane price of it. Now I know I will never be able to afford it.

It’s all I can do to get the 9 gold I need for my order of Whispers armor.

Why no mana?

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

One reason I liked gw2 in beta was due to fact there is no mana, like every other game has used over the years. I much prefer it without mana.

One problem with Asura... Tiny weapons!

in Asura

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

The weapons look large on the other taller races. They do not look large on the Asura in proportion to their body size. That’s what the problem is.

The hammers have plenty of room to increase the size and still look right. For example, The Order of Whispers hammer is detailed, but looks more like a nail hammer in size.

I have yet to ever knock someone off a cliff or edge with 4. Every time I do it they just hit against an invisible wall and never fall off… In PvE anyways.

How many here are playing less? And why?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

I have played much less lately, but it isn’t due to the game, just other non game related reasons.

Yes I don’t agree with things they have done, but I still like this game the best. People are going to take breaks playing. It’s not like they can’t come back.

Halloween Event Feedback

in Halloween Event

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

Now I know why so many of these posts are positive. It’s because anyone who posts anything negative gets their post deleted and you receive an infraction also. That is just pathetic.

Anyone else basically pass on the event?

in Halloween Event

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

It’s sad they are turning this game into a gear oriented game. At least for looks it is.

Personally I hate jumping puzzles/Mario Brothers. And I really dislike it when a game forces grouping in order to obtain items, especially for holiday events. And there is no way I will pay extra money to obtain them.

My thoughts on Anets halloween events. What's yours?

in Halloween Event

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

I dislike it all. Yeah they put a lot of effort into it, but everything is way too confusing. I shouldn’t have to read a full page letter about an event to know what to do. And the letter itself is very cryptic. And I shouldn’t have to check a website to figure things out. That is not fun.

Events seems scattered all over the map, and you have no idea where anything is or when it happens. There is no in-game announcement about it. Its very unorganized. The email they sent out about the last event, they scheduled it right when most Americans are watching football.

None of the events should require grouping at all. And if they do, then people should be able to join in without forming a group.

Personally I’m getting tired of jumping puzzles. This isn’t Mario Brothers, I never have liked that game.

Yes they have added more than most games, but I have had zero desire to do any of it.

I can’t believe some here actually think they are great. Many have complained about them in the past.

They need to remove the name “elite” from them, because they are anything but elite.

I disagree. The whole thing has been too confusing. I have had little motivation to do any of it.

Sanctuary - I want to love it, but...

in Guardian

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

I agree. It also makes you look foolish casting only to get killed right after using the skill. I have seen other players run under it thinking they had safety there, only to die fast. It’s embarrassing.

A lot of the skills in the game are this way. I’ve actually stopped buying any more for that very reason. They don’t do what they advertise they do.

More Halloween Goodies

They really should be stating the odds of winning the lottery. That is what this is, people paying real money to win a lottery. I did not buy any keys, but definitely did not get the impression they would make this so rare.

I remember playing guild wars 1 a long time ago and they had free gifts dropping from the sky. It was free 2 play then also.

Your weapon choice and why!

Probably no point in posting this because they will just use it to nerf the next preferred weapon.

22 Chests opened, nothing unique

I didn’t spend any money on this, but I would be furious if I had spent $20 and got nothing for it. People will remember this in the future addons. It’s not right.

Can people try to see the bigger picture and stop whining please. One buff and one nerf.

If it isn’t any good then why did they nerf it?

So what are the next nerf? Let take a guess

It is ridiculous the number of nerfs they give each time.

That would be very lame if that is how it is.

I already lost interest in this event doing the first “quest” I saw in Lions Arch. Its too much reading and making it too complicated/weird. The one where you hunt or whatever it is for ghosts I assume.

Why is GW2 combat sooooo BORING???

in Suggestions

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

I much prefer the combat in gw2 than other mmorpg games. It’s just one of the reasons I no longer have motivation to play the other mmorpg games anymore. I have a lifetime account in LOTRO but have lost all motivation to play it anymore due to GW2.

The combat is much more fast paced in GW2.

In my opinion, the armor is ugly in GW2

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

Anyone who thinks the armor in this game is bad has never playted LOTRO, with its lamp-shade helmets.

There are quite a bit of nice looking armor in GW2. Like many have said, its mostly the karma or racial armor etc. For the men anyways, I have no idea about the women characters. The armor though is very expensive.

In my opinion, the game lacks longevity

When anyone levels that fast, they will burn themselves out. It doesn’t matter what game it is.

Most people leveling super fast are not enjoying the game. I’d also be willing to bet they have missed a large number of the dynamic events.

Why do Guardians say they stink when they are a top tier class

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

Also the explanation that the ranger is far weaker I don’t buy for a second. The fact that almost every bot I have seen in the game is using a ranger with a bear, speaks for itself.

Voice talent generally not so… talented?

in Audio

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

The one voice I hate in the game is what sounds like a southern accent (there is another name for it but I changed it so I don’t get an infraction for it). It just does not fit in a game like this. It doesn’t even sound like a typical Asura.

I forget which npc it is, but it’s in the Metrica Province area, around the auction guy.

Plus I have heard old lady voices on young looking women in the game.

(edited by Tim.9850)

Frequently inappropriate volume?

in Audio

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

I have also noticed it. Plus all of the cut scenes (or whatever it’s called), the voice between the two characters speaking to each other is way louder than the normal game volume. It blasts my ears out when using my headphones.

Elite Skill Golems

in Asura

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

The only Golem of the 3 that is just ok, is the attack Golem. The Defensive Golem actually dies much faster. I use the attack golem due to the fact all my class “elites” are actually worse, believe it or not. None of them deserve the name “elite”.

Do you think events should increase in difficulty?

in Dynamic Events

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

I think they need to turn on the in-game dynamic event feedback that they had in the beta. Because some of these events are insanely too hard, some are just stupid.

I know it really ticks me off when I’m doing an event only for the mob to instantly pop back to full health. I didn’t even die this time and it happened with an event. Talk about wasted time.

Whisper/Private message notification.

Posted by: Tim.9850

Tim.9850

I don’t know if anyone posted this already or not. But it would be nice if there was a short ding or tone or something to notify you when someone sends a Whisper to you.

I don’t always look at the chat window, and it would help me not miss the message, which probably offends the person who sent it because they think you just ignored them.

I will never use Facebook for the very reason you must enter your real info. Plus they ask for way too much personal info that is none of their business.
