Guild Wars 2

Avatara.1042:

It seems I can no longer pull them to the merchants to kill Tenoh. They seem to be leashed.

Some men just want to watch the world burn. Luckily for everyone else there are guardians like me that can retaliation these stupid things.

Ahhh ok well good luck……. i will pray for your sanity.

Don’t do it man…. its just a mini. Save your sanity for another day.

It should be here until the 3rd of september. All of the recent living storys have been 4 weeks long.

Yup looks like it, we are spending to much time farming to see fun things. :P Actually guesting on JQ is rather entertaining. People just try to have the weirdest conversations possible.

It can be used in PVE. Also wvw is not connected to spvp in anyway. It is connected to pve in that it uses your same gear.

They are hoping that no one notices? Also they didn’t make him unfarmable.

LOLZ anet tries to stealth nerf a farming spot and they didn’t even do it right……

kitten i was going to farm him some more tonight…. oh well back to orr rotations. And good job Anet with the stealth patch…. just keep building that trust. Also did they really think we wouldn’t notice?
Edit: People are saying guard can still do it, back to farming….

XcmGT.3847:

I guess we won’t know until MF system is implemented, I won’t end up buying this since I have so many mystic salvage kits from achievement chests.

Yeah me too so many mystic kits…. Also if you buy gems with gold to get the gemstore salvage kit it would cost about 25 gold. And a basic salvage kit can be bought with karma.

It kind of sucks when you get double kill shots……..

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

Yes, you will be able to play the Queen’s Gauntlet after August 20th.

Can you say for how long? I assume it will be for 2 weeks after the speech update like other living story patch’s but just wondering.

Nothing but cleaves? How about pistols for theif (cant remember if daggers cleave), bows for ranger, and scepter for guardian. If you have good dps just use one of these weapons and strafe around the cage.

I agree once you learn how to dodge for deadeye its rather easy. And for subject 7 all you need is dps.

I am actually really surprised that both deadeye and subject 7 were not nerfed in the same update. I mean with a warrior 7 was a little easier because you were not in as much danger of dieing. But with a guardian deadeye is just stupid easy. Maybe the devs are happy that they made something that is easier on classes other than warrior so they are leaving it in?

TheKillerAngel.3596:

iddles.9280:

anet was quick enough for subject 7 nerfs. Hopefully they react accordingly, otherwise people will walk out with 1000g+ if they take their time.

I happen to believe skill should be rewarded. A lot of people characterize this as a faceroll way to make money, but the truth is that if your rotations are off by half a second or more you will end up dead or near dead.

Very true, subject 7 was wayyyy to easy compared to deadeye. If like you said you mess up a rotation he will port away and than killshot you. With subject 7 if you mess up a rotation you just waited until it was off cd, than kill him. Also i am talking about doing this with a warrior. But if you do get your rotations right (which is not that hard) than this rather easy, just has more risk.

Undertaker.2731:

i’m surprised no one actually mentioned karma :|

cant you buy berkerser trinkets with karma from temples in orr? lol

Nope, cant buy zerker gear from temples. Also that stuff is account bound anyway.

Legendary food is probably going to happen but also it might be that you need it to make some components to some precursors in the future.

I was about to fight Deadeye Dunwell and was waiting for the person in the cage to finish. There were a few other people there so i decided to play the horn to pass the time. When i came to my turn i looked in my inventory to make sure that i had the right weapons equipped which i did. Once i got in to the cage i switched weapons (to drop the horn and get my weapon out. As soon as i did this i was teleported back on to the cat walk and so lost my entrance tickets. I have already submitted a ticket so this is more to inform the public than get a Dev to see it. So just make sure you switch before you enter the cage.

Brutal Arts.6307:

Khisanth.2948:

Given recent development, probably time gated to require 6+ months per precursor …

Minimum 150 laurels for sure and a 100g gold sink somewhere in there.

Well i hope so cause i have that. In all seriousness i hope it is not a terrible time-gated activity, but knowing how recent things have been unlocked i’m sure it will be.

Look up. If you are in the queens jubilee area where there are the different zones that have ogres, pirates, bandits etc, go to the very edge of the map. There will be wooden ramps that take you on a wall that circles the whole area. Go on top of this. Than start walking around it there will be ramps that lead up go on these and you will be on a catwalk above the area this is where the arenas are. There are 6 so go to one that doesn’t have alot of people so you will not have to wait a long time in the queue.

Great now that is going to get nerfed……… thanks.

You can buy tickets for 20 silver and 15 sprockets for 5 tickets.

Oh… never even thought of that because i always put them in my bank…. well money lost, had almost a stack and a half cause i was going to use them monday night in one go but when i logged on the vote was already over so i just destroyed them.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

i regret voting all my support tokens.

250 tokens is abount 2.5 gold.

How can you use them to get money? Actually i think i destroyed all of mine thinking they were useless.

MauricioCezar.2673:

I’ve sayed a example of why even this don’t affecting me, isn’t of “not-importance”. Read it.

I’ve not included you in Parisalchuck, I’m only saying that don’t bother me people trying to makes me shut up. In my very opinion, those guys that don’t deserve, don’t should get any rewards. Its exact as being a thief.

But as we don’t have any clarification about the thread, I want to know if Anet suport it or consider it a cheat.

Then, I can simply report those guys doing this, all the times i see it. (If it considered against the rules).

Really? These people are thieves? These people are just as much thieves as people are that get food from a food bank. They are not paying for the “reward” but other people are offering it to them. I see no point in people fighting over this because it is people helping others and it doesn’t effect you. I mean what is the reward from a jumping puzzle, a few blues maybe a green or a rare also 10 achievement points. Or 20 if it is the first time the person did it and it is part of the living story. If that really hurts you than you might want to think about how you view games.

:( I wanted to fight a god. Or at least witness a fight between gods.

Well really you can play how you want, just we can’t expect to be rewarded for how we want to play. Also lodestones for tokens would be great. But than people that don’t like dungeons would complain that they are “forced” to run them to get lodestones.

xil.5140:

And this is when the personal Guild Bank becomes a necessity…

Yeah and it was even the suggestion a dev gave when people said they didn’t like the new account gold sharing.

I would assume it would not override this, so if you have swiftness on and the gemstore booster you would still have 33% movement speed not 48%. Im pretty sure this is true but not 100% positive.

All of the drinks have the same ratio of karma to drunkard points. With a few exceptions, one point costs 8 Copper coin or 7 Karma.png. Therefore, the cost to max Thirst Slayer is 80 Gold coin or 700,000 Karma.png. According to the wiki the fastest way to get the title/max is to buy these all of the karma items are the same price per point(7karma) but this item counts as 4 points per drink so you will have to buy/click a lot less items compared to buying the other drinks.

ZaneMaxen.8135:

but isn’t the avengers armor only for lvl 60s? is there lvl 80 avengers?

Correct, thats why i said its only rare not exotic. If you want it to have max stats(exotic for now) you would need to use transmutation crystals.

You could get 100% map completion, Play spvp, play wvw, get all crafting to 400 (will be 500 soon), play the living story, level up alts (altaholic here so this might not be fun for you), do the meta world events, or run dungeons. I’m sure there are many other things to do these are just the ones off the top of my head. I will add to the list if i think of other things if people don’t say them first. Also it might be good to take sometime off or just pop in to play the living story stuff and than go back to your break. Also i suggest you find a goal to work towards if a legendary is a waste of time maybe think of a set of armor or weapon that is kind of expensive but not legendary expensive and work towards that. Than whenever you log on you will know what you eventually want.

I don’t think there is because you are constantly zoning to other places so you naturally avoid any drop DR. Also i don’t think there are many places where you get a constant flow of enemies that drop loot. So DR might still be in the game for fractals but you are not given the opportunity to hit it.

Well more information is needed before some one can tell you what good looking armor is for you. I assume you are a human warrior or guardian since those are the only ones that can use protectors. Also i assume you don’t really want any dark/fire/evil armor if you are looking to get protectors. Personally if those assumptions are true than i would say get avengers armor. This armor is about 7 gold so it might be too much for you right now (also it is rare not exotic). Another suggestion is to get the Invaders armor. If you want to look at all the armors in one place use this or this

In a way that you can only get the daily chests once a day, so technically your returns are diminished if you repeat the same thing. So if you do a level 10 fractal full run you will get the daily chest which has a pristine relic, a bag of coins, and a chance at a ring. if you than do a 10,12,14,16, or 18 run before reset you will not get that daily chest.

This is the only form of DR that i can think of so if anyone else has information please share it.

A character’s movement speed can be increased or decreased in several ways. Both speed buffs and debuffs do not stack; the effect with the greatest value will be used (though some speed effects from traits do stack). For instance, having swiftness and Signet of Air active will make a character move 33% faster, not 58% faster (33% from swiftness and 25% from Signet of Air). The in-combat speed reduction stacks with movement speed debuffs.

Uther Deathhand.1570:

Also this whole running a dungeon over and over till your brain melts will be gone after august 6th. Now it will be speed clears of multiple dungeon paths. I believe that dungeons will still be the best time:money ratio but you will not be able to repeat it the same way you can now. Meaning if you have an hour to play and you want to make the most money than running the fastest dungeon path will be the go to method. However this is just my GUESS, it might be that the champion loot bags are really worth something so running in a champion rich area will be better.

“Best” is debatable but it is certainly one of the few ways you are guaranteed a certain amount of gold(except when bugs are involved >_<). The other being the gem->gold exchange.

Most dungeons are champion rich areas too.

Yeah both of those points are very true If you really want the best gold:time ratio, turn off your computer and get a real world job. : P Lets say you get a 10 dollar an hour job. You convert that one hour to CoF farming and you get 5 or 6 gold. if you convert that 10 dollars from your job than you get 800 gems which right now gets you about 20 gold.

Onshidesigns.1069:

What about groups asking for players for specific paths? It going to make finding a group harder.

Groups asking for players for specific paths? Not really sure what you mean. If a group wants to run AC paths 1-2 of course they are going to ask people to join them for AC paths 1-2. Now this patch will make it harder to find a dungeon group because after you do a path once, there is not really any point in doing it again from a money stand point.

AntiGw.9367:

PsYcHoSeAn.4835:

Well if i want to have fun then i’ll just go WvW, that’s the most fun for me. But you’re not getting rich with it

Right now I need round about 300g and I just want to know what’s the best way to make this money WITHOUT running a dungeon over and over and over again until your brain melts and drips out of your ears like pudding.

That’s about two months of normal, non-grind gameplay. Just enjoy the game, and you’ll get there.

Also this whole running a dungeon over and over till your brain melts will be gone after august 6th. Now it will be speed clears of multiple dungeon paths. I believe that dungeons will still be the best time:money ratio but you will not be able to repeat it the same way you can now.

However this is just my GUESS, it might be that the champion loot bags are really worth something so running in a champion rich area will be better.

If you want it than yes it is worth it. However it is completely possible to play the game and really enjoy every aspect of it with out either of these things. Personally being an altaholic i have bought 5 character slots and 2 bank tabs.

This game gear wise is very different from WoW. Here if you have about 20-25 gold you can get a complete set of make level/stat gear. If you have done WvW than you can use those to buy some or all of this gear which would greatly reduce the amount of gold you would need.
Just curious what gear do you currently have?
Also your comment on a LFG tool, the devs are currently working on it. In the mean time you can use www.gw2lfg.net to find groups for dungeons.

Mad Rasputin.7809:

I really hope when they implement the new champion rewards, that the champs in Queensdale only drop T1 rare crafting materials (slivers) and the champs in Orr drop TT4/T5 rare crafting materials (cores/lodestones).

If the Queensdale champs can drop cores/lodestones then that will be the go to place for champ farming. Why bother with high level champs?

At any rate, this should help influx more rare crafting materials into the market. I suspect a few more people might be farming all 3 paths of COE also. All three paths of COE are incredibly easy. The supply of charged cores/lodestones SHOULD go up.

I too really hope that all champs don’t have the same drop table when it comes to these new rewards. It would be rather dumb if i can kill champs in queensdale and get the same chance at lodestones as in orr.

MauricioCezar.2673:

People are so stupid, that makes their own brain think ever in the wrong (And worst) way.

The new reward system affects only the very end-chest of dungeons (that one with 60 tokens and 26s). ALL other coin drops from any sort of monster (Even the bosses, yes) continue without changing.

“all other drops off of bosses have not been changed” < From release page.

Since the very start of game, gold find never affected end-chest, so.. this thread is worthless.

/endcase.

Maybe you should read through the release page again because there is a very important line that you seemed to completely miss. Also this is the first part of the sentence that you quoted so not really sure how you missed it. It goes something like this “Guaranteed coin rewards that previously dropped from bosses in dungeons have been removed in lieu of these new rewards for dungeon completion; all other drops off of bosses have not been changed.” So this thread is not pointless in the fact that dungeon gold find will be useless…… unless they make it so chests are affected by gold find!!!! Make it happen anet, make it happen.

I think where it said “sort through your available finishers and choose the one you’d like to use”. They were talking about the pvp rank finishers not the temporary/special event finishers. Personally i hope you can make future special event finishers in to permanent finsihers would make wvw that much more fun. SAB finishers all over!!!

Vashoom.8512:

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

There’s even a gambit system wherein you can increase the difficulty for a better reward.

It’s not quite like anything we’ve ever done before. I think some of you are really going to have fun with it.

erm.. fractals? :s

Shhhh anet is in denial that Fractals still exists.

Latorn.4209:

I am terribly confused, is the rapier a new weapon type with new skills? Or is it simply a skin for 1h swords?

Its a skin not a new weapon type.

Achrisos.1360:

Before anymore QQing takes place I think we need better clarification of this new system as the way I see it the only change to gold is the 26s you receive at the end of each path is gone in favor of 1g minimum reward. All bosses (including final boss of CoF p1) will still drop silver so with ur omnoms and boosters you will still make 30s on final boss and 20s on regular bosses. So it will take 5 CoF runs before you actually make less money than the current system.

Did you read the update notes? Cause it really seems like you didn’t.

Artiyum.7062:

I have over 200k karma on a character…does that mean i can now use the 200k karma with my other characters? :O

Correct. All currencies in the wallet will be account bound.

Thank you so much for the confirmation ^^
I just chugged 3 mils worth of karma. I can’t feel my index finger.

Oh man pray for me i’m about to do the same. Got a full stack of jugs plus another 60 and three full stacks of vials.. This is going to suck.

Ben K.6238:

Pinkus.2860:

I’m genuinely confused about the people complaining about this feature… How does account wide gold and karma affect you negatively?

Waypoint fees.

Generally pays not to have accessible gold when you’re running around the Bazaar or the Aetherblade jumping puzzle.

You do know that WPing comes out of your personal bank if you don’t have enough on your character? So this will change nothing. Time to put your gold in a guild bank. by the way WPing can’t take it out of there.
