Look, you were given a window to spend heirlooms. It was advertised and promoted in the last week. Just because you were or were not thinking about what to spend them on does not matter. You didn’t spend them within that window, sorry you lose out.

That reminds me of “hitchhikers guide to the galaxy” when they are destroying the earth to make a new transgalactic highway and the humans are saying “WTF??” and the aliens simply say…“Hey, the form was filed with the galactic central office, it was located, on display in subbasement 57 of the galactic central offices. Its not our fault you did not have the means to travel between the stars to go and see it.”

That’s a wonderful example.

@Aerinndis
I retract that ingame mail thing. Now as i see sonder the seller trades fortune scraps that have absolutely same “stats” as belongings, i can’t see a reason why he couldn’t trade those too. If someone explains me a valid good reason why sonder the seller still trades fortune scraps and not belongings i will leave the thread right away.
at your side note, i doubt it’d be dangerous to state my age or anything, but this thread isn’t about that, if you feel like you have something else to say of that then PM

I already stated why he still trades in fortune scraps.

Goodbye.

And i already stated why it’d be better to save the bags.

That isn’t a valid excuse; sonder the seller still trades fortune scraps. There is no reason why sonder the seller couldn’t trade belongings too, other than people like you wanting to annoy people that don’t watch the forums like a hawk.

Oh, and why is sonder the seller trading stuff like candy corn?

Because you can still get candy corn and it is tradeable?

HMM? WHAT ABOUT THE FORTUNE SCRAPS THEN
edit: ACCOUNT BOUND, CANT BE GOTTEN ANYMORE FROM ANYWHERE.

Fortune scraps still drop from kite fortunes, if you have some left. Even though Kite Fortunes arent obtainable anymore, there was an incentive to not consume them all before their LS Event ended because they give you a random Boost.

Bag of scarlet alliance supplies still drop belongings if you have some left. They also might contain rare minis or perma quaggan tonics so it might be worth it to wait without opening them if you get lucky. If not for anything else, for saving inventory space.

Minis stack up to 250 in the collectible tab. If you want to save inventory space, just delete your heirlooms and belongings because they are worthless now.
You could have opened all your supply bags before the patch ended and listed your rare quaggan tonic at a higher price without loosing space to either bags or tonics.

I hope you understand now, why fortune scraps are still tradeable with Sonder and heirlooms are not.

Quaggan tonics do not stack and they do not have a bank tab. I also would not have wanted to list it at any price, i have no idea how high they could potentially rise. What if i sold it for 10g if it was 100g the day after?

Latinkuro.9420:

ok, here’s a compromise.

bring back the ability to turn in belongings but NOT heirlooms or
who knows you might be able to turn in belongings at the new merchant which would make this discussion moot and pointless.

but… heirloom turn in for thoughtless or selfless is a big no no.

Because in your opinion it’s justified to nullify the effort of people running around gathering heirlooms just because they don’t visit the forums, but like to play the game instead.

I visit the forum almost every other day, and I also missed this announcement. I still don’t know where it was??? It definitely wasn’t obvious. So I am sitting on 8 stacks of found belongings with nothing to do with them.

Right here ‘News and Announcements’:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Update-Alliance-Supplies-Found-Items/

yup, that would explain it, rarely if ever read that part unless something is “down”..

That’s your problem and mistake.

Moshari.8570:

Maybe they need to standardize on their communication?

Yeah, like maybe putting things in the forum called, ‘News and Announcements’. Wait they did that.

Find me where they told people to keep their blade shards in “news and announcements” oh wait, they didn’t….which was my point. Maybe you need to read my post before getting snarky.

They didn’t tell people what to keep. They told people what to cash in before the end of the event. If that was so hard to figure out sorry for your luck. That is the source of this entire thread, someone saying, “but..but..but… I didn’t know.”

I cashed in all my heirlooms and am sitting on 12 or so stacks of blade shards because I read the news. I know how living story events go and don’t destroy things until I know they are worthless. It took me like 2 months of getting used to the living story to learn that. If it takes you longer, sorry for your luck.

Explain me why sonder the seller still trades stuff for fortune scraps.

Latinkuro.9420:

it’s the same thing !
asking for the merchant to be brought back is the same as asking for the heirloom to be brought back why ?

it will give you the ability to turn them in so you can get the now rare selfless or thoughtless potion.

the only reason they removed it i to make the item prestige go up now introducing it again nullifies that prestige.

That makes absolutely no sense. It would cost the SAME AMOUNT of currency it had costed before, you couldn’t get any more than you deserved and had farmed for. Besides, i would like to turn my belongings to items, what you get with those isn’t “prestigious”.
Let’s think of the earlier living stories. You could turn fortune scraps to skins. You are still able to, but you aren’t able to get the fortune scraps. Do you think that “nullifies” everyones helmet&backpiece skins?

truehorn sounds like a good name for a charr guardian rofl

Latinkuro.9420:

everyone was racing and farming all over to try and get their heirlooms before the merchant was gone, now all of a sudden bringing it back because someone didn’t heed any warnings does nullify that effort.

I would be kittened if they did, and I assure you a lot of other people would be to !

You still couldn’t get them anymore, it wouldn’t change the farming aspect by any way.

Latinkuro.9420:

Celtic Lady.3729:

Most players don’t bother with the forums. Those that do usually read something on them like once every several weeks. It’s not a reliable way to disseminate information.

asking for mine and everyone’s effort to be nullified because you failed to heed a warning is also NOT ok with me and it’s a bad idea.

I don’t get what you mean with that. If the merchants were brought back for 2 days it would make no difference to what you are able to do or what you have got. It wouldn’t harm you in any way.

Except, you can still get them.

i don’t think so

According to the wiki, you can still buy Kite Fortunes from the Gem Store, which also have a chance to drop the scraps, as that was originally how you got one.

The wiki is wrong. I checked in-game, and no you can not buy those anymore.

@justTrogdor I was waiting to buy leveling tomes with them. I did not buy them yet, because i wasn’t sure if i will spend real money to buy a character slot or not.

So what were you going to do with them if you decided not to spend them on tomes?

naturally buy some of the other stuff available, such as obsidian shards

None of those things were available with Heirlooms.

You could buy alliance supply bags with heirlooms, those award belongings which you could have used to get for example obsidian shards.

True, but this thread is about Heirlooms, and if everything you wanted was from belongings you would have already spent your Heirlooms on bags. Just like I did.

I meant belonging merchant. My bad, idk if i’m able to edit a threads name

It took me until the patch day to get the money (i’m 15.) and yes. i decided to spend my money on gw2 instead of something else.

Kal Spiro.9745:

Tseikk.9032:

Why are fortune scraps still tradable with sonder the seller? explain that.

Because they provide skins. Better answer, because ANet said so, and for this they said No.

bad reason. The skins you can get with those can also be bought from the tp, but also with the account bound non tradable fortune scraps. There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON they couldn’t add a function to trade heirlooms and belongings with sonder if you already can do it with fortune scraps.

Every good teacher knows that to use a teaching method that isn’t working for the target audience is insanity. This is why we have brains – to come up with alternative methods that will work.

Sending everyone a mail in game would be 10000x more efficient than posting to forums

I still don’t get why the merchants couldn’t be added back. It would reinforce players “bad habits”? By bad habits you mean not looking at the dev posts like a hawk to see if some of your stuff is going to be deleted. Maybe next time it could be announced IN GAME with a mail or something, or like with glory in the launcher. They wouldn’t have to add any more merchants back then.

Oh, and why is sonder the seller trading stuff like candy corn?
@justTrogdor I was waiting to buy leveling tomes with them. I did not buy them yet, because i wasn’t sure if i will spend real money to buy a character slot or not. I bought that character slot just to see the merchant isn’t there anymore. Naturally i went to check if sonder the seller would still trade them, just like the other living story stuff :/

Please read what i quoted

Tseikk.9032:

so i saved 1900 belongings. and you just REMOVED the merchants? why?

The event is over, they announced the merchants would be removed multiple times over the past 10 days or so, not their fault you didn’t spend your belongings.

“Announced”

Oh, you mean the topic on their announcement section on the forums? Or do you mean one of the many obscured / buried posts? And not, you know, as dialogue from the merchants, as an in-game mail, as an announcement on the launcher’s page. Oh right, silly people don’t realize in order to know about what’s happening in-game, they have to leave the in-game world to browse the forums.

“Excuse me Mr. Ice Cream man, what flavors do you have?”
“Well if you go to our website and check under the menu section…”

Some people are busy playing the game and deserve to have the information conveyed to them in-game. Wouldn’t be hard for an in-game mail to be sent saying “Ohey, these merchants are nearly done collecting belongings.” People on the forums make up a very, very small part of the playerbase.

There wouldn’t be much effort required since it already was in game, it would only make some people happy.

Why couldn’t they bring it back? Would it hurt you or someone else?

^ this!

Please, it would hurt no one.

^ +1
/15 charrs

^ agree. I have a friend that played gw2 once with me within the last 4 weeks. We did like 4 escape from LA events, and now he’s asking where can he turn the stuff into something useful. He doesn’t read the forums and rarely plays, aka fully casual. What should i answer him? because you are a casual half of your stuff is gone now?

okay the finishing scene was cool and all. BUT WHAT THE FUDGE STILL NO ACCOUNT BOUND WVW RANKS!!! are we supposed to play season 2 without those? -.-

“you’re joking. Someone tell me this sorry idiot is playing a joke on me” – evon gnashblade

-no rewards for killing knights

-when going to the benchmark the main zerg goes in ~20 seconds before me and me and around 15 other guys end up having to kill a holo by ourselves when the rest of my party + the main zerg got to fight another holo.

-One of my party told me to wp out and try to get in their holo which was doing well, i did that and a second before i got the last (blue) attunement the ring just vanished.

WHAT THE FUDGING PLACE OF PUNISHMENT FOR THE WICKED AFTER DEATH IS HAPPENING HERE? (notice the clever avoidance of “kitten” word) Anet you have a lot to learn.

1. A fix to people getting no loot should be gotten in hours, not days, that should be really easy to fix.

2. make the holo fight start after ~3 minutes after killing the knights to get time for everyone to get in. The attunement rings disappear after that.

3. Make it scale so it won’t be completely impossible for smaller groups of people.
SHOULDN’T BE THAT HARD…

Hey there, i’m looking for the meta build i can just copato pasterinato and own everyone right away kind of like what happened with warrior hambow when i first tried it the most efficient pu build available for mainly wvw roaming.

I’ve already got every other class but ranger and mesmer at lvl 80 and fully geared, and now i’m thinking of leveling a mesmer. I watched my friend play mesmer a while ago and it was just ridiculous. he had some REALLY random armor, (i think like exotic amulet and rings with zerker stats, and two or three cof pieces with carrion stats, rest masterwork, no runes)+ of course that prismatic understanding trait that made him really OP.

He’s not even a good player or anything, but he was just DESTROYING people, even winning 2/3v1’s. Actually he was “commentating” the fight for me while he played. What he said went something along these lines:
“-wait what am i taking damage? Stealth!”
“-oh you got shadow refuge? So do i.”
“-Nope i’m not that one guess who i am. I’m not that one either, i’m no one of those”
“‘drinks coca cola while clones are killing his enemies and he’s in stealth, not in hurry at all’”
And this is a true story. So, this made me think… if my decently skilled friend can kill people with really random gear and koi cakes, what could i possibly do with a full exotic + ascended trinkets + proper food buffs and guard stacks fully tuned build?

I’m a mid-completionist, only nearly the best is enough for me. I got full ascended on my warr and thought it was not worth it, but i’m still taking ascended trinkets for every build. Money is not a big object for me, but i still can’t afford another set of ascended armor. Weapons are just not worth it in my opinion. But hey, if you got a good pu build you can share please do so! and also, tell me why you pick certain weapons and traits. I find mesmer weapons very balanced and well designed, and i’m not sure which weapons i should take since they all look good.

here’s my thief:

8/10, almost fell for it

“compact” doesn’t work with them. Please fix, it’s quite annoying.

Deadly mixture: deal extra damage with elixir gun and flamethrower.
extra damage : 15%

Now also:
-If target has vulnerability, flame jet ignores retaliation. (would work well with the trait “precise sights” which is not the most used trait at the moment, would work well with elixir gun “fumigate” too.)
-If target is burning, fumigate also applies a stack of torment for 2 seconds every pulse. (pulses 5 times)

Okay i have the same problem too, started yesterday. I still have it, tried deleting local.dat, restarting router and checking firewall, still can’t log in. I had not done anything different than i usually do before friday, this seems just like another dumb bug from anets side, just like the scandinavian lag (that got fixed, phew.)

why would anyone ask something like that, OBVIOUSLY warrior…

A weird thing just happened. I tried to fight the marionette, ended up on an overflow. I had major lag all the time. Then i got to the main server, and boom the lag was gone. After fighting the marionette i decided to go pvp, completely forgotten about the lag. Well, here it was again. How did i not lag in main overflow?

don’t like it. As i said i did it perfectly, would have gotten dodge achi too. but nope, one platform only had one guy who of course couldn’t make it.

The marionette deregulator requires all platforms to succeed too ? -.-
just had a platform with 1 guy, other platforms had atleast 4. failed cause of that.

Game still unplayable for me too. Crazy rubberbanding, it’s like if the game didn’t know where i am. Skills delay, and random disconnects back to character screen. It’s not happening with any game but gw2. and it’s been the same FOR A WEEK!
Country: Finland
Server: Piken Square
Don’t know my isp, but it’s obvious the problem is at your end since i’m having no problems in any other game.

i repeat this is unplayable. It’s YOUR problem, you fix it. I’m a customer, and i’m definitely not statisfied.

I’m experiencing huge lag that makes the game unplayable. It’s like if the skill lag from wvw came back to EVERY part of the game. Skills take 30-40 seconds to activate, i am somewhere else in the game than i am on my screen (tried doing a jumping puzzle, i sometimes just “died” on my screen, while apparently i fell off in the game.) It isn’t my connection because every other game is working fine. I tried everything ranging from installing / reinstalling to checking my computer for viruses, and nothing is wrong except the game. In case it helps, my server is Piken square.
edit: also everything i write to chat appears 30 seconds later. Taking loot from monsters is hard too. It’s like wvw lag 2.0, this time your dodge/chat/loot is broken too and you’re also somewhere else in the game than you’re on your screen.
Missed guild missions thank to this, please fix it asap its really annoying.
edit: also weird fps drops coming all over the game, i have never had any fps issues on this computer except now. fix your game before adding new content pls, it’s of no use if people can’t play it due to thelag.

also instead of just moving my thread it would be p-cool if you answered since the problem is clearly your game.

Yes i did that. Opened chest, killed mob, nothing happens. It’s bugged.

I watched a video of this before doing it myself… at the end there’s a pressure plate you have to stand on to open a door to a secret room. I’m standing on it and nothing’s happening. Is it bugged or what?

ellesee.8297:

the nerf is to supply crate. not net turret. if you are using the actual net turret in pvp, rethink your strategy. as for pve the only scenario i use net turret is for the first boss in grawl fractal so slight nerf there.

Yeah, let’s nerf engineers only 1 good elite. i’m also not using the actual turret, and won’t be using especially after this well needed nerf. man, those turrets were so OP!
