Zenith Harbinger Skin

For some reason the Zenith Harbinger Skin ( warhorn ) is not showing up as choice in my large achievement chest reward. Is this a bug that I should report or is there some other reason for this reason for this?

I'm curious about base line MF

Meaning no food or other buffs…..just account bound.

I only have 47%

But like I said….what do you have at this time?

Mouse wheel zooming problems

Tom.6478

I did a search on this…found one solution but it was outdated. The others had no solutions.

For whatever reason, ( it use to work properly ) my mouse will no longer zoom in or out. My mouse seems to be fine. It works as it should outside of GW2.

Can anyone help?

What would you be satisfied with?

For me, I would be satisfied with 4% ( or whatever percent ) magic find changed to 4% critical damage.

Granted I could ask for more, but I could live with that.

Again what would you be satisfied with? We should get our opinions out there now before they screw it up.

I suspect whatever they do, someone will be mad.

Quartz Crystals...why so cheap?

Ok…but after Bazaar of four winds. Is just your home instance the only way to get them, or I’m I wrong there?

Quartz Crystals...why so cheap?

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

I may well be missing something, but if I understand correctly, the only way to get them after Bazaar of four winds, is the home instance…3 or 4 a day.

That would take 6 days just to make 1 charged crystal.

Sure, not everyone wants celestial armor or weapons, but still, it would seem to me quarts crystals would be in demand once the only way to get them is 3 a day.

Tell me where I’m wrong.

With new update...what pet to use?

in Ranger

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

What title says…what pet is best?

I’m talking PVE non dungeons.

For me…and its only anecdotal

For under water….. shark….heck it got a boost.

More importantly, on land, and I don’t know why, try ice drake….see for your self.

I actually like your responce. I don’t totally agree. But you put a positive spin on it.

Thanks for reply.

If leaked updates are true...what I hate most

in Ranger

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

First, I’m talking about PVE. In fact, I’m not even talking dungeons.

I came across the BM build….ie… 30 points beast mastery.

It was the first build where I thought I could compare with others….at least in PVE.

My fingers simply don’t work like others. Having the pet do so much damage was a god send to me.

Now I don’t expect a game to conform to my wishes.

What gripes me is they give you certain parameters….and so you act on them.

Meaning you set up, buy, clothed with armor of your choice, only to find out that alt is getting nerfted.

I spent 2 months making a male and female ranger with all the best armor and dyes.

I guess what I’m trying to say, you can spend countless time and gold making your primary character, only have it made meaningless at the whim of anet person that had a bad time in pvp with a ranger.

Dragon Bash achievement is still 10?!

Tom.6478

I’m starting to think ArenaNet simply doesn’t have enough people to implement this game in the way that we/they envisioned.

Frankly I feel sorry for them. I think the people that are there and are trying, are embarrassed that they can’t develop this game the way that was promised.

I need some tips for Ceremony and Acrimony.

Tom.6478

I’m afraid to say a few more levels or better gear won’t help that much.

Its too bad you can’t bring a friendly helper with you.

I’m not sure what else to say but good luck, maybe you will get lucky if you keep trying and observing what the enemy does.

Ranger axe skill Recochet - critical chance.

in Ranger

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

Recochet can hit up to three targets. Is critical chance per throw ( all 3 targets ), or a chance on each of the 3 targets it may hit. I’m guessing its only one chance per throw.

Guild leader and changing servers

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

I have a one man guild….meaning just me for storage purposes.

If I change severe to complete a map in W vs W, will I loose my upgrades such as storage and anything in them with a temporary change in in servers.

I have heard you loose everything if you are guild leader. I need a very firm answerer for obvious reasons.

I will say, I am also a member of a small guild other than mine. If I represent that guild while changing servers, will that make a differences?

With new update. Timing meta events?

With new update. Timing meta events?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

With the new update, trying to time when a event will happen is almost impossible.
You can sit in one place for a hour and get nothing.

I don’t mind that they made it more difficult, but wasting a half hour or more is not fun.

Your message was surpressed

Chests....what determines what you get?

So if you show up at the last second and get one hit in, you have the same chance at rare loot that someone who was there from the start………..that doesn’t seem fair….

movement in game

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

I can’t use the WASD keys. My fingers simply won’t move independently in order to use WASD properly. Maybe I’m too old or just uncordinated. It doesn’t matter, I can’t do it.

Having said that, I’m doing just fine using the mouse while pressing both buttons.

Granted having this limitation, I will never be a pro. However, I have got 3 level 80’s, and 2 of them have the world comepletion achievment.

I quess all I’m trying to say, if you can’t use WASD like me, you can still do very well and have fun playing the game….:)

Chests....what determines what you get?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

I’m talking about chests like the one you get for meta events such The frozen Maw.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure magic find has no influences on chest loot.

Does doing more damage increase the chance at better loot from chest? If that is so, do you only have to get gold for best chance?….or do you need to do even more for a chance at better loot.

Meta events such as The Frozen Maw is really a series of events. Do you need to score gold in the events leading up to the final event to make a difference?….or does the final event the only one that counts?

I have only done maybe 30 or 40 of this type of event. I could be wrong, but from my admittedly limited experience, nothing seems to matter as long as you are there when the last enemy is killed.

The only pattern that I “might” have percieved is that drops seemed to be better If I revived someone during the last event in the chain. Now don’t get me wrong, that could just be coincident or just my imagination.

At any rate, what are your opinions on this?

Class balances on Feb 26 ?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

Well if they do do a rebalance, I hope they tweek up the percieved weaker class, rather than tweeking down the percieved stronger class.

I’ve spent alot of time and energy on my 3 main toons. Don’t make me mad by weakening them.

I can live with the so called weaker classes being made better, but don’t dumb me down to them.

Heck, if you make the weaker better, I may make one of them my toon as well, and be happy about it.

rangers and botting

“Your a ranger with a brown bear? So bots post in forums now too!”

Thats too funny…

I have a ranger that sometimes uses a brown bear, but I’m pretty sure no one has taken me for a bot.

Bots are pretty easy to spot. Thet stay in one area and there is usually more then one.

Ori nodes

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

As much as I would like to farm Ori nodes as easy as mithril or any other ore. Ori should be hard to come by since its the top tier ore.

Otherwise, it would sell for mere copper coins….we don’t want that.

What do you do for FUN?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

Well one thing I like is taking my level 80 in full exotic gear and going to low level areas. Sure there is no challenge to it, but I enjoy not having to try. I’m not in to sitting on the edge of my seat for hours at a time and trying to do everything perfect.

If I’m in the mood for something harder, I’ll go to Orr or a dungeon.

But the most fun would be….coming across a situation were someone is about to die and saving the day….that’s the best yet.

Ranger pets.......

What are your favorites?

The new chest Icon for better drops

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

I did a search …could not find anything.

With the last update, supposedly a chest would appear if you got a green drop or better.

I have seen them and got that drop.

However…some times I see them but can’t open. Is this because they belong to someone else?

If thats so…why let me see them.

Also, the chest need to stand out more agianst the background. They are very easy to miss in a big battle.

Lifetime Survivor - still bugged?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

As far as I know, nothing has changed. In fact I don’t think Anet considers this a bug. I could be wrong though.

The fact is, even with the single zone, single session, its very easy and can take as little as 1 hour to comeplete.

If you have level 50 or better yet, a level 80, go to a level 50 or so area that you have not been to.

Use an experience booster if you have one and kill, gather, do hearts quest, POI, vista, and waypoints. You will have it in no time.

When I did it, I only had to do about half the map.

Stacks of power, bleeding, or whatever.....

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

LoL….I don’t know how missed that….thank you so much…….thats been bugging me for a long time.

Now if I may…….how good is this stacking?

I have a superior sigil of bloodlust ( have not used it yet ) It sounds like a very powerful thing. Is it as good as the price I can sell it for ( 6 or 7 gold ) or is it over rated?

I guess what I’m trying to say, should I sell it or use it?

How do you tell how many stacks you have? I understand with some sigils, you get a stack for every foe that you kill ( up to 25 )…but how do you tell how many stacks you have at any given time other than counting your kills.

Armor/Weapon...do you go for prestige or..

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

What do you do choose?….. Prestige, or something you like?

For the most part, prestige armor/weapons tend to look better.

However, I think there are quit a few exceptions.

For me at least, I prefere to go with what I think looks best rather than just going for a prestige look. If its a level 1 or white type item, so be it.

I have to give Arenanet a thumbs up with the transmution thing so we can decide for ourselves what looks best while still getting stats we want.

Everyone wants to be an individuale, and the transmutation thing lets that happen.

POLL: Would you like level cap to be raised?

At this point in time….no

Perhaps in a year or two yes.

There are plenty of things to do as is.

Perhaps as this game matures there will be a time for this game to make a major shake up as GW1 did with the addition of heros. That time is not here yet……

Is MF now mandatory?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

I have a magic find set, but the difference is almost impossible to notice. I’m sure its there, but only if you chart it over many many kills will you notice it.

I prefer to use power, toughness, precession, or whatever to kill faster or live longer. Time is money. Killing quicker or dieing less, will in the end get you more money. Thats the way I see it anyway….

Suicide jumps for res daily

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

I didn’t invent this, but I came across it.

Like many others, I was looking to res someone to comeplete my daily. I noticed on my mini map all these dead people in one small area. I went there and it was at a vista that had a very high elevation….jumping from it will kill ya.

Aparently people were taking there turns jumping and dieing so others could res. Long story short, got my res daily in about 5 minutes. lol…I did my part and jumped several times myself.

The whole thing was very comical. You stand at the bottom…plop,plop,plop…..dead bodies to res…….

Daily Achievments....where do you do them?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

I know this is about to change, but where do you do your daily just to get it done when you don’t have much time?

I do mine near the cow ranch in Queensdale. I’m not the one who started it, but it seems alot of others use this area as well. Events in this area respond every 10 minutes or so. With a little practice, you can get your daily in 20 minutes or less.

Are there other good places, or is this the best?

Champions/Veterans...loot

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

I have seen that thread.

And I understand that there are many variables to drops.

But lets face it…the lack of drops from champions is so well documented….why the delay for a fix?

I will say I still like this game, but there some obvious things they can/should be fixed but for some reason they ignore or just take their sweet time to do it.

I’m no IT person, but I would thing changing the peramenters for Champion drops would be a 10 minute fix….then agian…maybe I’m wrong and its a huge task…………

Champions/Veterans...loot

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

Maybe I’m wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that drops from champions/veterans were going to be better.

I will admit, I do get a decent drop from veterans from time to time. As far as champions, I can’t remember when I even got a drop, let along a decent drop.

Am I imaginings things, or what’s going on here?

You would think everyone would at least get a green item for killing a champion, but aparently ArenaNet thinks its good to get nothing most of the time.

Things that require a group/team

mulch….I really apriciate your post.

Aparently, you have had a very different experince finding teams….good for you.

“Cuz anything that can be solo will soon have solo as its default.”

This is a problem, and I don’t want that.

In fact, some of the best times I’ve had playing MMO’s is with pugs….not always, but when it works….its golden…

Well just take the Tixx thing. If you have what you want from that, there is no reason to do it it agian. Same thing with last personal mission.

I really think the best solution to this is decent rewards for helping others that have not done this or that yet……

Things that require a group/team

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

As the game has matured, it has become painfully clear that there way too many things that can’t be done because you can’t find a team that is all but required.

I just spent one hour trying to find a team to do a Tixx for a toy soldier frame.
If that was the only example, I could live with it.

Perhaps the worst and most frustrating example is the last personal story mission.
I’ve yet to find a team.

I could give many other examples of things that can’t be done for lack of a team.

Either make these things soloable, or give incentives that will make it worthwhile for other people to help…..

Major and Superior runes...do they stack?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

I really apreciate your response to my question, and you may well be right.

I have to confess though, I’m not sure ( effects are dependent on the number as well as the grade of the rune ) means major and superior will stack.

I really hope others will comfirm your opinion or not.

I think this may be a grey area where there is no real proof one way or the other.

Thank You

I thank Arenanet too for fixing problem…my biggest complaint is not keeping us informed. When there is a problem, just knowing whats going on will make it much more easier to just wait and see.

Put our minds at ease so we know things will work out.

Major and Superior runes...do they stack?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Tom.6478

Tom.6478

Specifically….if you have a major rune of dwayna on 2 pieces of armor, and a superior rune of Dwayna on 2 pieces of armor.

You only need 2 runes to reach the second tier buff of regeneration on both the major and superior rune.

Will the 15% and 20% regeneration stack to 35%?
