Guild Wars 2

They’ll have to look at each class individually, nerfing all AoE’s cause they are AoE’s would probably the most stupid thing to do.

Are you going for the looks or just care for high stats?

Looks?;

I get to see both weapon effects? AWESOME

I rarely see Moot and Bolt. So Maybe Moot instead

Stats?;

My problem with Bolt and Flameseeker Prophecies is that Bolt is kind of a useless weapon

I’m looking to deal good dmg, along with being able to survive

Also which class do you like to play, and do you play the most. You don’t want to end up playing a class you don’t enjoy but are because it has 2 legendaries on it.

If it’s going into “I want both looks and stats” you’ll have to start finding the right specs (traits, armor, sigil/runes, accessories, skill set etc) and the right looking armor pieces to transmute + dye colors to go along with the chosen weapons. That is if you want to go that way at least.

That bug exists since launch…

I guess I got lucky for a long time than o_O?

My in-game sounds gets replaced with this amazingly annoying beeping sound, the only fix is closing the game, all my other sounds (ventrillo, youtube videos) keep working fine.

Example of the amazing beeps; (might wanna put volume low)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpEboHrW4wU

Both twilight and sunrise are the same sword, the only difference is the effect template on the sword which shows the sunrise or the night-sky, which will not show in the preview.

It’s no bug, effects just don’t show in previews.

Speaking about the legendary though, would you rather have something that looks not that great but is slightly stronger than exotic/ascended or have the legendary you like the best for it’s looks?

You put a lot of time and gold into making an item like this, so why waste it on something you don’t really enjoy.

Legendaries are brag items after all.. and guild wars 2 is all cosmetics.

This game isn’t “Free to play”. Just pointing that out. You had to buy the game to play, even the beta…

Looks completely normal to me.

pics or it didn’t happen.

Alright ladies and gentlemen,

I had this idea for a while now and why not post it? From all the legendary weapons out there, not a single one I actually enjoy (anymore) so…

A Toy, yes this is a town clothes item slot but Legendary’s should be considered as cosmetic anyway. My idea was something totally different from how you obtain the weapons and once again only for those who want to do it. I had in mind to make a puzzle looking item, this can either be some back or hand item that shows puzzle pieces.

The way to obtain it should be hard obviously but it’s not going to be through any crafting items, I was thinking about having 4 very large and hard to complete puzzles that grand you “piece of puzzle 1-4” (solo instances), that you will need to mystic forge eventually. Not just jumping puzzles, since there’s 4 puzzles to fill in some puzzles where you use brains would be nice as well. The puzzles that are none jumping should have a significant number of variables so you can’t use any “how to complete videos”, obviously. Like playing chess against a good AI.. ?

I know this is just a random idea of mine but any thoughts/comments on this?

To explain why it can be hard for those who are not 80;

SarahWitter.2317:

Southsun Cove will remain an explorable land after the weekend event concludes. During
the weekend it has dynamic level adjustment to bump players to level 80, afterwards this
will just be a set level 80 zone.

The puzzle(s) stay.

Enjoy!

Myrdreth.6829:

I am more amused by the fact that mesmers can help other players skip the whole(!) jumping puzzle with the help of their teleport skill.

Same, when I tested this bug to see if it got fixed there was a guy saying “I’d be too scared incase someone is frapping…like now” & “Don’t ask Arenanet why you were banned” lmao.

also there’s mesmers asking people some silver for placing portals from what I heard.

It didn’t get fixed yet, I just tried in-game.

Kiraki.9761:

Not sure if there was more than one way to cheat the puzzle but a short cut that was available yesterday has already been removed when I checked it today.

I’ll have to check, I also came across only 1 spot so I guess it’s been fixed. Which is nice to hear that they’re pretty fast on these things.

So yesterday night I came across a “cheat” way of doing the puzzle and I made a how-to video for it to show dev’s what to fix. Instead of posting it on the forums I decided to send it to the fancy exploit mail because one does not post cheats on the forums, right?

Anyway, I noticed some new views on the video but no mail back so I am unsure what the “status” on this is. Did I do the right thing sending it to the exploits email or can I post it on the forums? It’s confusing since the description for the mail says it’s for (economy) game-breaking bugs, which a puzzle is obviously not. And I just want to know if it even reached the developer that made the puzzle.

after all the steam stone things when you go up the cave.. where do you go? :P

CC Dalmarus.8397:

Thanks for the feedback and patience everyone. The team is investigating these issues as we speak. Please continue to let us know if the event has not kicked off on your server (overflow servers too). Also, let us know if you are in an overflow server and the event did kick off. Thanks!

It’s really hard to tell if the event has started or not if everyone just went to the captain and took his “bring me to point something”… I mean I will miss the event now in LA because me and everyone else went here?

So there’s this npc dude at a ship that hasn’t been sunk yet that takes you to 2 places, currently going to point lion. See what’s going on there.

Is the trebuche the catapult we’re speaking off? .. I don’t know if I missed the entire event or not.. hard to tell..

We had a similar problem, the guy with the hammer managed to fall off after we did the first 2 seals and it got stuck in mid air, we couldn’t pick it up anymore, all progress lost.

Transmuted as in; you took the skin of your legendary and put it on the stats of another weapon.. obviously they didn’t boosted that because you transmuted it on something that was originally an exotic weapon, there for it will probably not get boosted at all. The only way I can imagine for you to get the higher stats is transmute it again onto an ascended weapon with the stats of your desire. Because what you currently have is not the actual legendary weapon stats that it had in the first place.

As the title says, my achievement points got cut by about 500/700 after the 15 november patch and this also happened to a lot of others that are here with me in Lion’s Arch at the moment.

I checked the patch notes but the only thing related to achievements was the newly added PVP achievements. Anyone know why the points got reduced?

Now, I know this is a very wild idea and so far there is only one company
I know to do this successfully, which is valve. That was releasing Source Filmmaker.

If you don’t know Source Filmmaker; it’s a tool that runs on the same platform as
their games which allows you to do a lot of awesome stuff; character animation,
facial expressions, camera movements, insert attributes, tons of effects,
all in a isolated environment and eventually make a movie with it.

I am sure every company has a sort like program to develop the trailers for the game
they made. And since I rather spend my entire day, week or month in a program to
make movies than play the actual I game I am hoping they might see a potential in
doing the same as valve.

All in all it’s just a wet dream for a filmmaker like me to get a tool like that in hands.
Not that I want to complain but the in-game camera is limited to the bone… and it
being an mmo doesn’t help the framerate at all.

Now.. I am not sure why

Now.. I am not sure whybut when you start a sentence with “Anywordhere.. with a capital letter followed with 2 dots and the rest of a sentence” it will duplicate itself onto the next chapter.

Now.. I am not sure whybut when you start a sentence with “Anywordhere.. with a capital letter followed with 2 dots and the rest of a sentence” it will duplicate itself onto the next chapter.And every chapter after that will just add up the text that came before it.

I am not sure whybut when you start a sentence with “Anywordhere.. with a capital letter followed with 2 dots and the rest of a sentence” it will duplicate itself onto the next chapter.And every chapter after that will just add up the text that came before it.Obviously this is an example of what I mean cause if you would see the editing page of this post, it would not include the repeated text and just simple sentences.

Yes.. it’s very rare for someone to start his sentences like that (or use it in the middle of a sentence) but I actually did and it messed up my entire topic, had to delete it and all that jazz. Also there are some variations in using this.

John Smith.4610:

feedback about Legendaries becoming unreachable.

John Smith.4610:

You can expect to begin to see changes addressing the issue starting with our next build.

Make precursors accountbound on acquire, problem solved.

• No more whining about high prices.
• No more so called “market manipulation”
• Legendary weapons finally actually rare.

Hrist.8972:

What about these jumping puzzles that are around in WvW that give no reward? Has anyone found any “use” for them?

puzzles in wvw that give no reward? =_= I’ve never seen any of these..
You have the Eternal Battleground one which is linked through 3 keeps and you have the Borderland one. which other puzzle have you found..? lol

btw my opinion on wvw puzzles;
pvp is fine, it’s world vs world after all. The rewards are blue prints so you want to prevent the opposing team reaching the end. Obviously putting siege inside the puzzle seems broken as there are already “traps” inside the puzzle itself, they get rendered useless if people set up siege.

Jestunhi.7429:

Then perhaps you can explain to me why there are already craftable items which sell for less than the sum of the material costs?

I think you give people too much credit. A person can be smart, but people as a whole are a different story.

Well the craftable items you speak off are those made by actual crafting professions, at least I am assuming those are the ones you’re on about? People used these professions just to gain levels for their character and trying to sell it to get some money back they put into the crafting. With a massive player base doing this it just resulted in these “worthless” end products because the supply was higher than needed. The crafting materials obviously became more expensive because the demand is a lot higher.

I bet if crafting didn’t give you experience this wouldn’t happen at all. The motivation for people to take on a crafting profession is “gain 20 levels in 2 hours” rather than “I can make some nice weapons/gear to make some money”. Yes, the bandwagon people screwed everyone over that wanted to get some crafting going to make money but I would blame Arenanet for putting experience in crafting, assuming that’s an educated decision they made themselves.

Jestunhi.7429:

The whole point in the listing fee is to stop people re-pricing their items every time someone undercuts them.

If people did that all prices would hit rock bottom.

Not really, if you’re selling an expensive item and you know roughly the amount you need to sell your item at to keep a profit you obviously will not go below that. At least that would be common sense for me. It just makes expensive items somewhat flexible in selling without getting punished for it. It would be the exact same thing as placing offers, people raise the price like crazy in a short period, should there be put a fee on that as well than?

TL;DR > Trading post steals your money for lowering items in price, keeping items expensive.

Come on guys, some input here. Can’t be that only me and Alarox have an opinion on this. I was hoping that some economics experts (from Arenanet) would show some magic in here.

The listing fee itself is not a problem at all, I agree that there should be a fee for putting items up the trading post etc etc. The problem I have with the listing fee is making items you put up earlier cheaper (or more expensive.)

This requires you to remove the item from the trading post entirely and put it back up paying a second fee, which sounds a bit unfair to me. You’re making the item more accessible after all. What I would like to see is if you already have an item on the trading post and want to change the price to a lower value you should be able to do this for free. Obviously if you want to increase the price it should add the % of fee on top of what you already paid.

Currently people are claiming it is “supply and demand” but only the demand part is actually true as there’s no cost on putting offers people can raise the offers unlimited times, where with the offers people not changing the price because they are only going to lose more profit on doing so. Resulting in them sitting and waiting for random rich guy X to pass a long as they are really not going to change their price downwards 10 times.

I think it would make the market more flexible as the “expensive” items will become more competitive in selling.

Xenotor.1350:

I always wonder why people sell candy corn. Look you can stack a 10% Movement speed buff for about 1 min. And you can use that even in areas where the use off skills doesn’t work.
Candy corn is the WvW / PvE consumable and you can no longer farm them.

Think about it it takes at least 1 Year* before* you can re-farm the candy corn.

With nearly 5 million on supply I doubt we need to wait 1 year to get more though… We’re probably good for the next 10 years without farming.

Candy Corn was at 4.3 million yesterday, it’s at 4.8 now..

Doing the puzzle is completely optional, if you don’t like how it is you do not do it. simple as that.

So now this is being “fixed”… will the commander title also change? just wondering..

Nice Style Unknown L:P

Thanks, wish I could use it in combat. :p

Update on the current score.

Josh Foreman.8250:

Aurelian Omenkind.2470:

Tried 4 or 5 times, then said “nope, I’m’a farm some more candy corns.” Been happy since.

When I made this map I was HOPING that people who aren’t into jumping would do exactly this. They’d see a fun Halloween looking environment, maybe get to the first chest and snag a goodie, then be on their merry way. I see now it was a mistake to make the hardest jumping challenge in the game part of an in-your-face update like a holiday event. I’m not going to stop making difficult stuff like this, they just won’t be so prominent in the future. I honestly hate making people upset and have a very high level of empathy. So it’s been hard hearing all the people that are so angry, frustrated and sad because of something I’ve made. But it’s just another lesson learned.

I think the bigger problem was the achievement, people felt it was a must to complete it (I think that was the achievement at first), I totally loved the challenge and I can’t wait to see more. Well, I can wait but I rather not. Also, do you accept suggestions for puzzles? lol.. can’t hurt to try and ask, right… :p

I am glad to join the “did-not-get-the-halloween-title-club”. I guess it’s a growing community. :P

All doors are permanently open now, how am I supposed to trigger the events for the halloween event achievement?…

never mind, I figured the labyrinth events count for this.

I think I prefer it over the warlock “witch hat” to be honest (from the gem store set).

update on the score.

How to “get started” on world vs world.

Just to clarify the “general idea” behind world vs world; The servers gain points over time by holding camps, towers & keeps. These points will be added to the progress bar you can view by hitting B on your keyboard or the tower icon at the top left of the screen. As soon as the progress bar reaches 100% there will be an amount of % added to one of these bonuses. The bonuses apply to the entire server (so for WvW & PvE).

If you are totally new to World vs World it’s a good idea to stick with others. Most of the time you can see on the map (or mini-map) where the action is going on through 2 orange crossed swords, these indicate there is pvp in that area. When these appear at an enemy point (camp, tower or keep) that could mean that it is your or the other server (that doesn’t own it) attacking that specific point.

Commanders, they might or might not be always active but when a person has this title active he/she will appear on the map as a blue icon so you can follow the person around. The easy way to join the person is to open the large map and left click on the blue icon, this will pop up “join squad” which allows you to use the chat command “/squad” to directly communicate with the person and others that also joined. You can see if you joined the squad by opening your party window, this will also allow you to leave the squad.

The other general chat commands are /map and /team, these can be used to communicate with everyone on the map. I highly recommend to ask if there are any parties to join as it will be only a party that shows all members on the map. This doesn’t happen when joining a squad.

Another tip would be before you leave the safe zone, open the map and have a good look at what your server owns across all maps, this can give a general idea of how your server is doing and where your server is focusing on at that moment.

I hope this helps a bit. ^^

ps. do not take supply from towers or keeps, it delays upgrades.

I am using the golem 9/10 times on land but every time I enter the water he just drowns..

Can’t we make some aquatic headgear or give him some lessons on how to swim? some floating devices?… I have no problem with not being able to use golems underwater but I can’t even cross a simple 2 or 3 seconds swim on the surface without him drowning and going on a one minute delay which puts me in a massive disadvantage in world vs world.

Hakato.9650:

Q.Q a little more GoM and AR. Again, I stand by my statement before. Good sportsmanship is good and honest feedback.

The only good sportsmanship I’ve ever heard when speaking of world vs world was about the Yak’s bend server where they had an orb they didn’t rightfully own and a guildleader of them switched over to coordinate a transfer of the orb to the other server.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/118pkl/thank_you_yaks_bend_faith_in_the_gw2_community/

I am pretty sure both GoM and AR know BP wouldn’t stand a chance without their unfair advantage.

as seen on the left of the score, GoM own’s the keep but not the orb.

BP has a “glitched” orb … (again?..)

so pro..

When I went to Lion’s Arch it put me in Overflow with a lot of people and one mesmer was placing portals so I decided to jump in and it put us on top of the Lion Statue which was pretty awesome itself, a while after that I got the queue to go to the main non-overflow or what it is called and hit travel, which made me the only person on the statue so I decided to take a screenshot.

DR doesn’t apply on the chest (as in armor/weapon rarity), I did the dungeon pretty much on repeat because of the ton of dungeon influence our guild was getting and eventually I got an exotic out of the chest even though the pop up reward was at the lowest. If it were that DR did apply I would’ve gotten only whites by that time.

Should put a mad lion king there… oh I am so funny.

Bambam.3961:

I had left early for work to get home just in time for this ‘one time event’ just to realize later on in the day it can still be done, how can it be a one time event if it can be done all day long? Horrible advertisement saying its a one time event..

well.. you might have not noticed but the statue blew up and a big pumpkin dude came out and he got sucked back in n stuff.. not gonna happen again! statue is gone!
