Guild Wars 2

Here’s hoping for saveable templates too, but this is a good start anyway

I believe the Chantry of Secrets is also part of Maguuman Explorer and it has a PoI

The recipe costs should be the very least of your concern when you’re crafting ascended armor…

dinominator.9862:

Cool, thanks Electro. Grats on the blue blades, Lilith

I was stoked that the watchwork sprockets were on the TP and not too expensive, but then I looked at the crystalline dust. Yikes… lol

Did you also notice you need 50 of the sprockets for that recipe? It’s still the most expensive component in the recipe by far.

Even on hostile maps you can always ask your commander nicely if he could help you out and run his zerg into the PoIs you still need.

As said in another thread – Guild Halls into LA. Open world. None of that instanced stuff all these other games are doing with their housing (except EQNL).

Excellent idea. I have no idea why are we able to take the targeting reticule beyond the range we can activate anyway.

Well they’re bound to do some kind of April’s Fool. It’s going to be an interesting 3 weeks for sure.

All I can think of is, when do the devs learn not to put assets in a client datafile before the events actually happen?

They could save themselves so much trouble. Bandwidth issues? Oh come on this is 2014.

Oh noes. The new traits are not inherently better than the current meta. They’re USELESS! Call 911!

I guess you would have preferred the new traits to completely trump everything else there is so they would then be our only choices anywhere?

Do you still think ANet gives a kitten about the 5% elitist crowd who refuse to use anything else but the current “best meta build”?

You’re talking about roleplaying support for a game that does not support roleplaying.

Believe me I’m just as sad about it as you are, but it doesn’t seem to be on ANets agenda at any level.

GW2 could have been one of the best roleplaying MMOs ever, but ANet chose to ignore that part of the player group.

Well I would guess we will be digging deeper into Norn and Jotun (and Kodan) histories when we get to explore the Far Shiverpeaks and encounter Jormag.

It’ll probably be at least a few years before that, though.

It’s a mini-dungeon and yes, it’s awesome. For some weird reason, it’s not even classified as an Explorer achievement like many other mini-dungeons in the game.

Public groups, like WAR had. You form a party and can choose to have it public. Anyone coming near you can join your party by clicking “join”.

There is a certain chance of that. I would not use it.

Son of a…

Looks like everyone and their mother are coming back on April 15th, or at least when ESO first free month is out

Except that you don’t need any money (well you do a bit, to purchase the first materials) to get your crafting to 500. You can earn 20-50 gold while leveling it.

Tell me more….

Armorsmithing, for example:

http://www.gw2spidy.com/crafting/4?min_level=&max_level=&min_rating=400&max_rating=499&min_supply=&max_supply=

Sure it takes more time because you have to wait for your products to sell in order to get more gold to buy the materials. And even more time if you buy the materials with buy orders instead of taking what’s for sale (increases your profits considerably, mind you).

Time is money, what is new?

Well you knew rather well from the start that the Legendary is nothing but a pretty skin. At least now it has switchable Ascended stats, so it’s inherently better than anything else you can ever get.

But in the end it’s just a skin. Hardly something you should grind for six months. I’m surprised you needed to actually go through that all to realize it. What did you expect to receive in return?

Tonight I think I’ll go farm some linen/silk in Blazeridge. Flame Legion beware!

Oh look it’s this thread again.

This has been requested since the launch of the game. It’s unlikely to ever happen and in whatever case, it will be much faster for you to just suck it up and do the WvW exploration than to wait for Anet to remove them from the requirements for the 100% world completion.

Nice idea. The divergence between realms is not going to happen, though.

Hmmm… Maybe this is a beginning of the new Lionguard? Turning from a goody-goody organization into an oppressive military organization, and Lion’s Arch will be turned into their fortress that we raid at the end of Season XX

Silk is plenty farmable, in Orr for example. Linen is tougher, as you will be getting some silk while farming for it.

OP, I didn’t see you complaining when they put a ton of badges in achi chests.

I also didn’t see any kind of dip in the Legendary prices when they did.

This thread is thus utterly pointless. Gift of Battle is so trivial to get, even with the new rank requirement, that it will in no way affect the price of legendaries or contribute more than a modicum of the grind required to make one.

I think you’re overthinking it, Konrad.

ANet had a very easy 2013, with only FFXIV rattling the cages a bit, but soon forgotten. In 2014, they will face ESO, Wildstar and ArcheAge. That’s some heavy competition right there.

Of course ANet has one ace in the sleeve, and that is their payment model. It’s easy to come back every time they update the game and check if there’s some stuff you’d like to spend some gems for.

In any case, they better up their game for Season 2 and give us more permanent content to play with.

Fat chance of that happening. We ain’t even going to get dueling or a GvG system. It’s a cooperative game and any in-realm fighting is strictly no-no.

They better not be bringing Scarlet back…

Nope. Just need to have fast hands switching the octave. That, or use a macro keyboard, which is not allowed by the current TOS.

I can hear AvA calling…

You’re not supposed to buy gems with gold. The option is just there to appease the ones screaming P2W.

Aedelric.1287:

Belinda is a dead `fat´ lady walking, her talk in the bar might as well ended with everyone painting a target on her back.

I would not get too excited over Arena Net adding new zones, last year we only had two and one of those was small and temporary.

And the other is pretty empty compared to the original zones. I’m also hoping for a fully fledged zone, but fearing for another empty wasteland like southsun.

Dang. Now they got me scared with “our new updated reward and progression systems we’re working on”. I really hope it doesn’t mean more vertical progression, such as another grindy tier of gear beyond Ascended.

I fear it does.

I’ll add guild halls and LARGE, back-slot guild banners. Why can’t we show our colours properly in a battle. The current back banners are pitifully small and anyone in front of you cannot see them.

This would be a perfect time to change LA to be a player/guild housing zone in addition to other services!

Let us buy spots from that ruined city and rebuild it that way:)

This is what I’ve been asking since launch. Too bad LA alone would be way too small to have non-instanced guild halls.

It’s not that small, plus they could split it into say 10 areas and auction them for a month.
Really nice money sink right there.
Sure only major guilds could get their hands on it but frankly, you think a 10 player guild should have a hall? If you look at housing on other games that’s when it starts falling apart, is everyone to themselves.

I agree and no, I don’t think every “me and 3 of my alts” guilds should have a guild hall. I am just saying there’s a lot more space around the world, in the cities, villages and towns. If they go the open world guild hall route, I’m hoping they will have lots and lots of available spaces of various sizes and locations. That way most “serious” guilds could have one, even the smaller ones. Obviously the biggest halls at the top spots would still go to the biggest guilds, just as it should be.

I think the payment for the rent should be in guild influence, not gold, though. You could have plenty of stuff to buy into the guild halls with gold, though.

Fafnir.5124:

I think she was the girl playing the dragon in my story that ate destinies edge. When destinies edge had the meeting.

Could be. She was listed just as “Progeny” in that scene, though.

Ellyna is at the new graveyard but AFAIK she doesn’t sell the station recipe anymore.

They really cannot bring it back as it was. Otherwise their “living world” concept is thrown out of the window right there.

They can bring back all functionality of course, and the general layout, but they will need to make new dialogues and stuff. We can’t have the same NPCs going over the same lines as before.

I’m always short of Empyreal Fragments.

Have a lot of excess bloodstone though. I think everyone does.

NEOCROM.8957:

Well, Tyria i think have some desert zones, so dont expect too much if those zones are released, desert always was kinda ugly, full of almost nothing beautiful.
Mordremoth is near the Deldrimor front i think, so maybe that zone will be released, well, personally i dont care which map would be, i just want new map, new story and content.

M is nowhere near Deldrimor front. He’s in the west of the current lands, in the Maguuman Jungle.

Recalibar.6482:

“The biggest of those must be the change to the dye system. In the NA/EU launch version dyes were character unlocks, whereas in the China version they’re account unlocks. With this new system you only need to collect a dye once and you can use it on any character. This is more convenient, but it means demand for dye will go down, so we’re also reducing supply. Dye unlocks now come only from crafting and from the gem store.”

Couldn’t have they have just, I don’t know, reduced dye drop rate?

That wouldn’t bring them phat sales from the cash shop.

They should develop an “underflow” mechanic into the game for stuff like this. I.e. if there are several realms with less than full Teq zones, combine them until you have a full zone.

ESO style Megaservers are the future. No more server transfers/merges.

Steel Fenrir.2791:

A simple fix for this is to add an NPC that would trigger the cutscene manually. This way you could also replay the cutscene if you want to view it again.

NPC: “Did you see it? That kitten ed Breachmaker just exploded by itself!”
Player: “I was faraway. Tell me what you saw.” <cutscene plays>

Erm… Read the Anet employee response in this thread. That’s exactly what they’re doing, adding in a patch today.

I didn’t get that cutscene either. Was wondering how that breachmaker ended up in pieces…

Hey they did post your name on the heroes billboard, though!

Will.6210:

New patch reveals that they do know about the dragon. Some fat chick is investigating.

She’s not fat! She’s voluptuous! Learn the difference.

Broken leg? Big deal, my character has been killed a few hundred times already and he’s still standing up just fine.

This would not involve transmutation crystals of any kind.

And that’s why it won’t happen.

Sadly, this. I’m pretty sure transmutation crystals are one of the top selling cash shop items.
