Guild Wars 2

I think they need to level the playing field on this one just to be fair. I don’t care what prices were back in the day. I care about the now and tbh the watchwork pick offers a bonus for the same price nothing else does. Seems kinda dodgy to me.

Siobhan.5273:

I read this and thought, “Ultima Online”…

My, that was so long ago, but it’s still out there! I’m sure someone still plays it..

man I remember UO. I wish someone would make a new UO or SWG.

Links look real, but remove them anyways from the OP in case it is a phishing scheme

Tman.6349:

Have you tried ‘professionally’ trolling the GW2 forums like others have reveled in doing since getting ‘bored’ ages ago?

j/k no offense intended

lol…I have tried, don’t work very well. Different breed of players here, troll attempts go right over their heads. And I have been trolling MMO forums since 2000 lmao.

I think people just like to complain about anything other people do too. I was at FE one day some lady actually had the nerve to ask another player to stop dancing because the sound effects where annoying her. I think a lot of times it’s these same kinds of over sensitive players, whom tbh are probably the same way outside the game.

yeah anet does not like SAB

Last night the event scaled way up beyond what it should be on the wall….we were all firing at it and it wasn’t going down, then all of a sudden it started going down. Perhaps it’s a little bugged too. No one has even looked at that as a potential option. And yes the fear spam is the one thing that frustrates people enough to just hang in the back during phase 1. I watch people shoot at the ice shield a few times, then get feared 3 times in a row and say “forget this” and run to the back. Over all the problem is the even itself. Needs a redesign I think. The loot isn’t that exciting, and it’s rather long and dull.

Here we go again with the “farmers hurt my feelings” threads. Sad to say GW2 is built around the premise that one must farm to acquire anything cool or rare in the game…so until they come up with more creative ways in MMOs to gain something cool, farmers will continue to come up with ways in which to acquire the needed items in as little time possible.

I mean, there are people who have been playing GW2 everyday since early launch and never had a precursor drop….so desperate times call for desperate measures.

Maybe anet needs to have a zone with nothing but level 80 mobs on flat terrain that are not linked to a story for people to to farm 24/7, but then the new complaint would be “no one is in any zone doing world events cause they are in zone X farming”

Vayne.8563:

Champs at Jormag don’t drop bags. No one is farming champs there.

But there are leechers. That’s for sure.

Gonna repeat this since people fail to read a whole thread.

Champion Icebrood Elemental —-(Phase 1 drops no loot) Drops loot for pre-event on last crystal.
Champion Icebrood Goliath —-(Phase 2 does not normally drop loot)
Champion Icebrood Quaggan —-(Phase 2-Drops champ chest)
Champion Icebrood Kodan —-(Phase 2-Drops champ chest)
Champion Icebrood Troll —-(Phase 2-Drops Champ Chest)
Champion Icebrood Wolf —-(Phase 2-Ocasionally Drops Champ chest)

If people let them go, everyone doing other aspects of the event would die fast.

Stop complaining …..3 types of phase 2 champs drop loot, ..and if no one kept champs busy they would kill those doing the rest of the event…I’ve seen it before and people at the event complain about the champs on them.

Phase 1 champs do not drop loot, but they need to be kept in check….there is is 1-2 champs at the pre event (last crystal) that sometimes spawns champs.

Generalize much? I kill the champs and I run up and dump damage on the claw, most of us do. As for the afk people in the back who wait for phase 2, that’s their prerogative…let them play how they wanna play. Not hurting you is it? Maybe you think it’s unfair. Life is not fair sometimes, get over it and play the game.

Pointless complaint thread is pointless.

Still no news??

Have there been any posts stating why this was removed? Can we get this back and working properly by deducting the listing and sale fee? I don’t mind doing math….but it would speed up the sale process when it comes to selling more than 20 items of varying prices.

I noticed them too and wondered where they came from.

The thing is it would kill the NPC cities as most people would go to their lag free home instance instead. This is kinda what happened in swg years ago when they added player cities…the NPC cities died. They want people to have a reason to hang out in LA.

I avoid LA and other lag-central locations like the plague, personally, but I see your point.

Though, I would love a place with such little lag, no commander tags dancing around my minimap and no local chat. That would be sweet.

I try and avoid the laggy places due to loading times and I agree with you….but I think this may be anets reasoning, though who knows? I’m sure if they did add it it would be like a 2 week thing like the banker golem.

They were never on sale.

sigh Ok, I never said they have are were on sale, and I know for the most part always be in the gem store at 800 gems each…what I was saying is I want anet to put them on sale this week so I can save some gems…like any thrifty consumer..most times when I buy stuff I buy during sales..how hard was that to understand? -_-

And I want to never have to worry about money again. High five for unrealistic wants!

k bro.. Not sure how unrealistic that is . I’ve gotten plenty of items from BLT on sale that you probably would assume wouldn’t…and missed a few sales like for the copper fed salvage-o-matic. So other than trolling your comment was pointless.

As I was digging around in my bank today I saw my veldrunner armor chest which at the moment is only taking up space in bank as it does not have stats I would use. So this idea came to mind: what if we had a vender that allowed us to trade ascended armor chest drops in for armor we want since it is a little hit or miss on whether we get a drop we want? Maybe trade 20k bloodstone dust+armor chest+20 (or whatever amount) gold for the exchange?

Honestly if we could sell or forge this gear I wouldn’t see any problem with drops being random, but since crafting them takes tons of time and money and you have a chance of getting meaningless drops I really feel we should be allowed to make use of the ones we can’t use. That or let players pick from a list what stat armor they want. Anyone else wanna see this?

On a side note please put the nodes on sale again so I can buy them all. Thx :p

Yep, and I want them at sales prices.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

I was doing some research, and discovered that there are Precursors being sold for super cheap on the TP as I type! The image I’m attaching will shatter the mythos of Precursors being too expensive. These Precursors aren’t 2,000 Gold. Or 1,500 Gold. Or even 1,000 Gold. Amazingly, the price is between 90 to 115 Gold!!! How exactly did these deals go unnoticed for so long?

Hmm, even Rage has gone up! I bought mine for less than 45g somewhere around Christmas..

But I like this post. It shows that the majority of the players care not about themselves, but they care about how others see them: “I won’t get an underwater legendary because I can’t show off with it.”

(I got Frenzy because I love underwater combat on my ranger)

I bought Rage for 8 gold over a year ago lol.

On a side note please put the nodes on sale again so I can buy them all. Thx :p

Ok first problem: It seems that when doing certain world events that have Champion spawns that drop champion bags or boxes I lose loot rights while looting or the champ boxes vanish too fast.

I will be pouring on the damage along with the 40 other players in the area, most times I get all the champ bags, other times I get the (F) to loot command, hit “F” and nothing goes into my inventory. In most cases the bags just never never show up even though I know I should have looted them.

Perfect example of this are the Summoned Husks at the beginning of the Great Jungle Wurm event. Yesterday I tagged all three, but for whatever reason the second one gave me the pop up to loot, but when I hit “F” nothing looted.

This also happens sometimes at the Ulgoth the Modniir with Champion War Beasts, but with this event the loot is sometimes just slow to appear in my inventory. The only thing I can assume is that it has to do with lag, as sometimes the Embroidered Saddlebags will show up later in my inventory.

There was another instance during the coiled watch event where I killed a champion NPC with some other players, the box dropped on a hill and as I was running up the box literally vanished before my eyes within 3 seconds of dropping.

Second issue:
Guild bank issue

It seems that sometimes when moving items from guild bank to my inventory the items will vanish into limbo until I move another item out of the bank which triggers the first item to actually appear in my inventory a long with the actual visual “receive item” prompt on the lower right side of the screen and in my chat window. The first time this happened I got a little concerned as I had just moved a stack of Ori into my inventory and thought somehow I might have mistakenly deleted it. I then moved stack of leather into my character’s inventory which somehow made the Ori appear along with the leather. This is strange bug. I’m not sure if anyone else has has this happen but I figured I would report it.

Wow, anet hates scammers xD In some games this is allowed or CS doesn’t care…glad to see it’s not here.

VergilDeZaniah.3295:

Weird, on my account (and friends’ accounts) it’s 500 gems, not even free…

Yeah same. I’ve never owned this. Looks like I’m gonna miss out on it :-/

I’m sure they test stuff, but it’s kinda hard to test something that may or may not be random or replicable.

I mean how do they know some Warrior who happens to have his Legendary sword out next to a thief who decides to pop a smoke screen down next to Mes who uses Temporal Curtain while you are auto attacking a centaur all while running guild wars temple dragon counter website in the background is gonna cause a crash?

That’s why we report stuff.

To all who are leaving…please email me your mats and whatever gold you have.

Thank you

:D

Rising Dusk.2408:

The sound effects are the reason I own a salvage-o-matic (or three). This and the fact that it needs to work at all levels, and not have a level 15 requirement. Please fix these ASAP ANet.

Ah yes the joys of major updates lol. Now I know why they put living story on hold, they must have predicted there would be some bugs needing squashed out after this update went live.

Leah.1983:

I’m eager to hear what you think is working and what you think needs improvement, so let me know. I look forward to more chats.

Welcome Leah,

Plain and simple, stories with more complexity….most of us are adults here and we can handle some deep story telling, plot twists, elation, sadness and fear in a story.

MMOs have always been hit or miss on story telling and GW2 has been no different. The one thing BioWare got right with SWTOR was most of the story telling and how it affected your emotion with choices that had consequences short term of long term for your character. I would like to see the same thing for GW2 as well.

Current stories in GW2 have been at times great, other times not so great. In a way I felt like some were written for a kid. I would like to see more quality story telling become the norm across the board from this point on. During our personal story I feel it didn’t really start getting good for me till around the time I arrived in Orr…..It was a bit darker and mysterious and I enjoyed, but the end was somewhat lackluster, I expected it to be epic. I don’t expect the retelling of this story, but I’m just using this as an example of how story telling quality dips in and out throughout the arc. Quality should be a standard.

Recently with the new Living story I feel anet has almost grasped this concept, but I still feel it needs a push to become more alive. So, with that said I hope that is what you can bring to the table.

TLDR: Most MMO stories are boring, GW2 almost has it nailed but it still needs more cowbell.

CyClotroniC.4957:

This topic just gave me an idea, to organize a “Spooning with Jennah” tour in our guild collecting spoons with mini Jennahs on. For reasons.

Dressed as a Banana

Ok even though the vocalization of the Copper fed salvage-o-matic drives me nuts sometimes, I’m just gonna go ahead and report the issue in case some players actually miss that.

Bug: Copper Fed salvage-o-matic sound clipping issues when salvaging of course —-salvageables.

After opening inventory to begin salvage process The salvage-o-matic will begin to vocalize on first time salvage and clip out…It then will remain silent through remaining salvages.

Oxidia.8103:

This has to be one of the stupidest threads ever created on this forum. Along with the emote rage thread.

lolol I didn’t notice it, maybe cause I rarely pay attention to other players and their emotes.

“F” key interactions seem a little wonky, last night I couldn’t heal a downed player and a few times I couldn’t loot.

I played SWG waay back in 2003, Unlocked Jedi….went through the CU, the NGE….this is nothing like that debacle xD

Got a carved bone spoon off Tequatl. Now that it’s added what are we supposed to do with it in our inventory? Destroy it? Sell it to fence? It has no stats. Also…Queeen Jennah no longer stacks so I image her 5 other sisters shall meet the same fate as the spoon.

Now I can’t even get the new patch

angryelf.2840:

Hello,

Any idea how to fix this?

i guess wait for a hotfix

Nothing like some overtime at the start of the week

The only conclusion I can draw from this thread

“People will complain about anything”

/thead

My patcher is broken xD

Vanive.3804:

omg, This change won’t really affect us vet MMO gamers who have been playing MMOS for 10+ years. Most of us will fly through the levels so fast these changes won’t mater anyways. Those who are super new to MMOs or totally confused as to how GW2 works compared to a game like (sigh) WoW will have a more accessible game. This is no complaint I’m reading in the OP, this is pure elitism at it’s finest.

So a player coming from WoW where you have to manage in excess of 30 skills will
have a problem adjusting to a 10 skill bar and a dodge…yeah

Pretty much. I have recommended this game to 3 people, My Brother in-law, brother and a friend from work…. all three left within the first month over some of the issues this patch addresses. Hey the average person isn’t always gonna get it or see the value in constantly rolling around as a game mechanic. The downed state was a big factor.

100% Map – 1 Precursor Token.
Level 49% FOTM – 1 Precursor Token.
Rank 500 WvW – 1 Precursor Token.
Dungeon Master – 1 Precursor Token.
X sPvP wins – 1 Precursor Token.

5 Precursor Tokens – 1 Precursor.

Not really a well thought out idea. You get two Gifts of exploration, so once you clear the initial phase of the idea, where do you go from there? Not to mention people would kitten on a massive scale for being forced into the PvP arenas since they are not really part of the overall game.

Yeah but it is a business and they want to make money, so yeah….

Yes I agree. i can’t say I’m into the whole spoon collection thing, but this was a much needed improvement.

Vanive.3804:

I left for 7 months over the illusive RNG system and crap loot, I’m on that verge again. I feel like my new grind here now is to save up enough ecto to sell stacks so that maybe in two years from now I can finally by the precursor I need to make Incinerator (which has been a two year off and on process already) all because I guess I am just unlucky when it comes to RNG.

Considering the popular weapon precursors have broken the 1k mark, you’re going to need a lot of ecto…

That was pretty much what my point was.

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

The intent of the Renown Heart system was originally to help players find event content. They also provide a decent method for us to give the player some context and awareness of what’s going on in the area. There are probably a few issues in that design which we could discuss. We could also let it suffice to say that hearts do not make the best repeatable content the game has to offer.

On the topic of keeping players engaged with open world content, I think this goal may be for more approachable from a different angle. Consider Dry Top, which has no hearts. Players on that map are participating in events all the time, largely on the premise that each event contributes to both map-level and personal-level goals. This gives me the notion that with a little help at the system level, events can and should be the bulk of repeatable open world content in Tyria.

I’d be very interested in hearing your thoughts on that.

Wrong, players are just farming it..that’s why they are there, not because the content is “fun”..not sure if farming is working as intended game design.

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

The idea of having a dye template is a common suggestion, and a great one. It’s been floated to the development team before, but I just raised it again as an idea to remind them about it.

We need trait/skill templates first. Remember how we could save our builds in GW1? We need that. Desperately.

Yep, but instead they will worry abort minis and town clothes for the 10% of players who care about that stuff :-/

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/miniatures-and-finishers-in-your-account-wardrobe/

“Account-unlocked minis can be equipped and swapped as part of your character by left-clicking them. "

" When shown, minis will appear next to you in every map you travel to with no further work necessary to deploy them."

Anet does listen.

Much <3 here. Thank you!

To who? The 3 people who maybe complained about this? When the hell are they gonna add some of the crap tokens I have cluttering up my bank from over a year ago to the currency tab? I still have Captain’s Council Commendations tokens for Lion Guard Lyns and like 50 queens gauntlet tickets as well as one time use finishers I would love to get out of the main part of my bank. I don’t want to just delete since who knows if they will ever be used again.

I can think of lots of other things that deserve their own item pane….I mean….minis already have their own pane..and maybe 10% of the players playing GW2 care about minis and town clothes. :-/

I left for 7 months over the illusive RNG system and crap loot, I’m on that verge again. I feel like my new grind here now is to save up enough ecto to sell stacks so that maybe in two years from now I can finally by the precursor I need to make Incinerator (which has been a two year off and on process already) all because I guess I am just unlucky when it comes to RNG. Somedays I want to call shenanigans, and I know I’m not the only one…..but I know I’m just unlucky.

I have come to the realization my end game is actually trying to obtain better or cooler looking gear through the processes of doing daily events because the living story updates trickle in(and the rewards are meh). This is not a really a positive for this game by any means.

Content should be the main means to obtaining cool stuff and with a better hit rate then what I’m seeing now. TBH the Mystic Toilet if you have lots of money and mats and time seem to be the best way to getting precursors, or you can stand around and beat on critters and badies all day hoping for a drop in the next 10 years (literally).

I also find it funny that the big feature packs always address issues maybe 3 people mentioned ever, yet fails to ever address the hot button issues people care about…It’s like wanting a real motorcycle for Christmas and getting a hot wheels motorcycle you are too old to care about. Like Will Smith said, parents just don’t understand xD

More GMs? not a bad thing. Wonder how many people will get warnings over the stupid things they say in zone chat thinking no one but other players see it lol. Some nights the chat gets interesting lol.

One thing to add…. Since anet is ramping GM presence up perhaps this should be included in a “news” feature so people who aren’t just reading this thread know what to look for when a GM sends them a message.
