Well it’s your fault for putting your eggs in one basket. Or in other words, creating alts for the sole purpose of running the same dungeon multiple times.

If you love your alts so much, just run them on different paths depending on the need.

Wait what, but anet told us we could play the game the way we want to. There are people in this world that create alts for the purpose of reward, not everyone has holy intentions.

You can throw out that line as much as you want, but there will always be different groups of players that get shafted due to conflicting desires.

Not when most of their nerfs effect the farming crowd. But its useless arguing when people cant see anet EVER doing anything wrong, despite how much their philosophies have changed.

I invite you to find a suitable system that would benefit those with multiple alts and those that dont, or you can just sit down and take what Anet throw at you. Again and again.

…And that’s exactly my point?! What are you trying to get at?

Anet can’t design any type of system that can reward both types of players. Because both will whine that they’re being ‘punished’

You limit rewards account bound, and the alt group will whine. You limit rewards soulbound, and the 1 char group will whine that they’re being punished for not having alts.

So what I’m thinking is that Anet is trying to choose the best course of action that will do the less damage. And I think the number of people who have alts exclusively for farming the same path of the same dungeon is just a small, vocal minority.

Seras.5702:

I’d rather this stuff just act like our crafting materials. Separate bank collection tab, can be accessed from anywhere. Like a crafting table allows use of banked materials, so too should vendors allow use of banked dungeon tokens and the like.

To have each character carry a wallet with this stuff seems cumbersome.

…that’s exactly what they’re doing?

Sure, but it does seem like more often that not the people who get shafted are the ones with Alts. Now that it may be that they are shafting everyone and if you have 5 alts you feel it 5 times as much.

Yeah, and on the same token, you can make the argument that those with only 1 character are at a disadvantage. So it goes both ways.

A dev said its coming in the next patch.

Supposedly in some random box again? Sigh.

It’s such a highly desired item. It would be bad business not to take advantage of that and put it in the gem store.

I’m really tired of reading people defending randomness with “good business”. Isn’t it also good business to keep your customers satisfied? And why do we even need to care about “business” if we want to play the game, have fun and acquire a single item we want?

And ironically, I’d – again – be perfectly fine with putting it in the gemstore like some weapons they had. I’m just afraid – again- that it will be gated by RANDOM and a lot of bad feelings.

Giving out free stuff keeps your customers satisfied. But that doesn’t keep you in business does it? I know everyone wants free and cheap stuff but that’s not how it works.

And last I checked, Mike Z himself said the gemstore sales are more than enough to fund the game. So what does that tell you?

RNG works. It sells. And despite all the whining and complaining, people still buy. It’s stupid to not continue on with that trend.

They said they are still working on the system. I’m sure we will hear more about it when it is ready.

Ommu.1649:

Be prepared for endless Claw of Jormag farming sessions. Nobody will touch the dragon, only farming the champs.

Oh my god that will be awesome >:)

Even better if you can get to an overflow with Jormag and invite all your guildies.

But knowing Anet, they’ll probably introduce a timer on it, or stop champs from respawning.

Exclusive weapon/armor skins is good for me.

But knowing these forums, anything short of three free legendaries will be a massive disappointment.

Kalan.9705:

Is it really necessary to have bi-weekly living story content, when wvw has seen no content for nearly a year?

Yes, considering WvW is not the staple of GW2

And how convenient that you forget the quality of life improvements such as the scoreboard, the end of WvW culling.

And how about the content changes? Mastery lines (big deal)? Traps? Ranks? Rewards?

Did you forget about all of those or did you choose to ignore it to try and make a better point?

I don’t really care (and I only started cof 2 months ago and generated no more than 70g)

Cof is really boring and it’s not my way of farming.

I can’t wait to do some chain dungeons though
cof1,all coe,SE1,TA u & ff

The only purpose of alts is to run dungeons multiple times?

1. If you want a true pirate then your only option is to vote for Suwash

Honestly if this vote was between Suwash and Evon – I’m sorry but I’m voting for the brave quaggan.

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

Macro key to double click those jugs. That is allowable since 1 double is technically 1 keystroke.

Yeaaah I’d be careful on that. It’s not worth the risk without clarification from Gaile or the CS team.

I personally would consider it two actions compared to 1.

Getting credit is incredibly easy. They made a change in credit tagging several months ago.

If you only do 1000 dmg on a champion I’m sure you won’t get credit but anything above 5000 I think you at least get bronze.

The surveys would have to be in-game surveys. I remember Trion Worlds did this for Rift.

A survey on the forum would be a disaster. Email surveys have very low response.

darkace.8925:

What part of the upcoming update makes you think people are going to return to Orr instead of just running circuits through the five easy-to-kill champions in Queensdale?

The champions in Queensdale will more than likely drop t1 mats. Those are worthless.

The champions in Cursed Shore are endgame. So you get t6 mats and lodestones.

Yes thats the new weapon set.

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

Considering ‘account based’ is the trend, I am going to assume it is account based, and I am ok with that. IMHO I dont think you should be able to farm the guaranteed reward by just swapping characters. Sort of puts those that don’t have a bunch of characters at a disadvantage (and I do have several so, Im not just thinking of me here). Making it account based puts everyone on a level playing field for acquisition.

So what if it puts them at a ‘disadvantage’. Everyone has an equal opportunity to level alts. If you don’t want to level an alt, then you certainly don’t deserve the extra reward for the effort/gold that other people put in.

Yeah the stack limit is key here.

The wallet itself is good – having it accessible for all characters at anytime is convenient.

But for stuff like badges or tokens, I do hope they have an unlimited stack. But I recall that there was to be a gem store item that increases your stack limit (datamined a few months back). So I’m not sure.

But either way, it’s an improvement.

Rejoice fellow farmers! It seems we have finally a reason to come back to Orr – to make lots of gold!

With the new update coming (https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/august-06-2013/) and the changes to champions, I believe Cursed Shore will now be the place to be once again.

While shelt/pen have had increased timer intervals for some time, they are a good source of champions (though shelt is still problematic with the spiders). If we zerg these events enough, we can melt the champions easily and get more to spawn.

And what if these events are on downtime? Well there are enough champions in Cursed Shore to go around. Off the top of my head:
-Champion Wizard in the northeast (near chest)
-Champion Baron in southeast shelter
-Champion Gladiator (in the arena)
-Champion Broodmother (in the west)
-Champion Ooze (near Meddlers)
-Champion Eye (in the tomb)
-Champion Pirate (ship)
-Champion fish (lake in the south)

So hopefully everyone works together and calls out on map chat if any events/champs are available to kill (just like we do in Queensdale)

Spread the word, let’s make Orr alive

If you don’t like these skins or you don’t think any of the skins will sell well in the future.

I would save.

The commando will appear in the game the next time Anet releases a legit and intended farming event/chain/map.

Meaning never.

Xenon.4537:

Resetting the story might be complicated under the hood, but it’s not impossible. Implications include:

- Getting the loot rewards again, which is a non-issue imo because the loot is junk overall and isn’t worth any more or less (for the time investment) than any other loot in the game.

- Getting the exp all over again, which is also a non-issue imo because people can already craft their way to 80, not to mention the race change option would probably cost around $25-30 worth of gems.

So really, the only issue is the programming Anet would have to do to implement it, which is simply a matter of whether they feel like the time and resources put into implementing it would turn a profit in gems sales. That said, they do already have plenty of issues on their plate, and this is far from a priority.

That may be suitable for me or you, but poor old Joe over there does not want to have to start al lover with leveling, and he doesn’t have the money to craft up. Anet needs to consider all affected players, not the select few.

Vol.5241:

There is no reliable way to farm T6. Just go farm gold in general and buy it.

This ultimately leads to inflation — if everyone has gold and nobody is filling the role of “supply”, prices will continue to rise.

There’s been a bit of a gold infusion in the last two weeks from the achievement chests. I expect prices to rise anyway in the short term.

The thing to keep in mind is that it’s relatively easy to inject T6 into the economy with T5 promotion, so I doubt it will get out of hand too much.

Annabele.5734:

You do it for salvaging and Dungeon Master, why not World Map Cartographers?

Huh? Salvaging just gives you achievement points up to a limit.

And Dungeon master gives you a title that’s shared on your account.

Meanwhile map completion gives you a star. You’re rewarded well enough.

My reasoning is this – the highest buy order is usually someone who is not desperate for a precursor NOW but has the money to buy it outright.

If you price it just outside of his buy order he may rationalize with himself and think that the price won’t get any cheaper than this, and buy it outright.

1 gold profit is nothing when you have immense risk of getting undercut, especially considering the demand for destroyer weapons isn’t exactly high up there.

You should be focusing on flipping high volume/velocity commodities rather than low volume/velocity items.

You have to do this manually.

Just sort all 80 exotic armors by gold and find those that have valuable runes (like divinity). Note it down and compare it with the rune themselves. If the price difference is higher than the gold cost per kit (+ premium) then buy it.

That’s all subjective. They shut it down because it wasn’t profitable. Simple as that.

Balkanwarrior.5132:

Thanks for the replies everybody. Only reason I asked is because Im currently trying to sell a precursor and everytime it gets close, another 3-4 pop out of nowhere and get listed. Once those sell, another will get added, and another, and the cycle has been going on like this for the past 6 days. I guess the forge is just popping this one out pretty easily

What I do is I undercut by half of the difference between the buy order and lowest sell order.

So buy order of dusk is 550g
Sell order is 620g
I’ll list it at 585G
But you also need to look at the selling history and see if the current buy/sell orders are within reason. Sometimes the market is adjusting downwards after some fool thought they could corner the precursor market.

I used this method on selling two dusks. I also used it on Zap, but that failed because I didn’t realize the market was correcting itself downward.

Esplen.3940:

Create a hotkey to turn your entire keyboard into a mouseclick. Roll your face hand on your keyboard.

Does anyone know if there are any programs that hotkey your mousewheel into 1 left click?

Technically it should be allowed since one click on the mousewheel = one click for left click.

gaspara.4079:

There currently is not and likely never will be an option to change race. This stems from the personal story. While people suggest reseting it, that is both harder than it sounds and would open up people to the ability to just constantly change race to reset the story an get the 1 time rewards for completing certain story pieces.

If you really want a different race, make a new character its not that hard or time consuming to get to level 80.

Not only that, but it’s easy to get a character up to 40 and then craft your way up to 80. And the cost to craft 30 levels is cheaper than what it would cost to buy a race change kit!

Map completion was never a direct objective of mine, but an indirect one towards more legendaries.

So after completing maps 3 times…

Getting all classes and races to 80
Gearing all of them up in exotics
Getting rich
Getting achievements

I transferred to SoR about 2 weeks ago from a mid-tier server (Yaksbend) for the WvW. So far I’m enjoying it.

The great thing about SoR is the open teamspeak channel where you’re welcome to join in on any guild channel and work with them in WvW (of course though there are other servers that do it). There are also borderland channels where multiple guilds will go there.

That’s a big thing for me because I can’t be bothered to go to a guild-dedicated mumble/ts. It’s very convenient.

The guilds for the most part use good tactics and are generally respectful (except one unnamed guild).

PvE is good, but I don’t think it’s as good as TC’s. At least you can guest for PvE.

The thing about TC is that there are too many people there. So many habitants on TC touted their own horn and advertised themselves as the ‘unofficial PvE’ server, so people kept guesting there for events and temple farming.

If you want sufficient PvE, I suggest a mid-tiered server that has limited overflows. I’ve often found IoJ to be perfect for this.

People need to play smart.

What irritates me the most is when someone is downed and a mob is at very low health.
You guys know the rally mechanic right? You’d get yourself up much quicker if you finished off the mob rather than hopelessly try to heal yourself.

So the next time you see me killing a mob right beside you rather than ressing you, I expect you to tag the mob rather than heal yourself through it.

I see this a lot in dungeons when a mob/boss is at 5% and everyone moves over to res that one guy. You’d kill two birds in one stone if you just finished the boss off.

There is no reliable way to farm T6. Just go farm gold in general and buy it.

It’s pretty difficult and risky to attempt to control the precursor market.

I remember when Dusk reached 800g a few months ago. It was absurd and no one was willing to pay that much since people kept undercutting.

Do not spend your karma. It’s really difficult to accumulate when you need it, but very easy when you don’t even think about it.

The gold/karma rate is so pathetic that you’re better off just saving it and hoping for more karma-currency purchases later on.

Heck, you may even want to consider using the karma for obsidian shards and trying your hand at clover gambling.

As of this post, the farm is available on YAKS BEND

Wel, I guess that quote is one we won’t see again any time soon ;-)

lol there are always places to farm. In fact there has been a spot that’s available since release.

As of this post, the farm is available on YAKS BEND

edit: Nvm, patch coming within an hour and no one here to farm with ;|

You know I could understand your concerns if Anet kept releasing armors.

But they told us that this would be the last tier of armor. We all know they wanted to release ascended at release but couldn’t. Ascended is the gap between exotics and legendaries.

If you refuse to believe in Anet then unfortunately you should probably just move on.

1. Have tried PVP? If not, why?
Yes
2. Tried it and liked it or not?
Haven’t played it since release, and only played a few hours. I have over 2300 hours in this game.

I do not like it because the success of your team largely has to do with the team and the individual. And more often than not, failures by just one person on your team can put you at a serious disadvantage. Not to mention the players who leave immediately, making the match one-sided. I don’t consider this fun.

3. Are active PVP players?
-
4. Done both WvW and PVP: which do you prefer and why?
I’ve played a lot of WvW and I like it because there is still room to play as a zerg, as a party or go solo. Even if your server is mediocre, you still have stuff to defend and take, like yaks, sentries and camps.

You’re telling me Kiel is responsible for the nerfing of farming events too? Shelt/pen? Grub? Lyssa WP farming?

Lord Trejgon.2809:

helm are not worth a whole stack of scraps… – because there are ugly!

It’s very subjective. I find them to look great on humans.

I think they look pretty good on Charr when combined with the matching backpiece.

On that note, I saw a human female with the wind backpiece (the blue one). And she was wearing blue hair ponytail. The total effect was epic and looked seamless from the helm to the backpiece.

I did it as a warrior, though I think you could use a few more CC utilities.

My human was shorter than usual. At release I thought it was cool to be that tiny guy with an epic greatsword, hacking and slashing.

But standing next to a normal-sized female human made me inadequate and insecure, so I had to readjust my size :|

I also removed my mustache because it didn’t quite make me look epic. Now I have a bundled ponytail.

Do the button “buffs” stack? If I eat 24 of them at once will I be supporting for a day?

No, it resets the buff like any other consumable
