Guild Wars 2

Latinkuro.9420:

Point is this: it’s already kitten account bound, I can’t sell it and so I cannot damage the market at all, this 1 per day BS is a blatantly punishing time wasting gate for anyone that plays multiple characters.

Yet another “I have alts yet I’m getting ’punished’’”

It was your decision to make multiple alts.

Why stop there? Why not complain that “I’m getting punished for multiple alts because I have to keep spending gold to gear every single toon?”

You could really be more specific on what the issue is. I have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about – lag? Culling?

Or are you talking about the fact that we have overflows? Overflows are a ‘quality’ feature.

What’s worse – having 100 people in a zone with no lag but 100 people left out

or

having 200 people in a zone and they can’t even get a tag on the boss cause it’s lagging

I think the former.

I’m quite surprised this thread is still up. Didn’t imagine people would be kitten over 500 achievement points. And I don’t even have any from HoM!

Hi guys,

If I was to purchase Sunrise what would you consider a fair price? I’ve checked out a couple of sights people on the forums have directed me to, and I thought something around 1500 sounds about right

1500 is too cheap. That covers just the stuff you can buy.

How about paying a premium for the dungeon/wvw badges, world completion, skillpoints and karma?

The premium for that can be anywhere from 200-400G.

Look at what it takes to make Infinite Light.

3/4 components can be bought while the last one can be obtained with a measley 50 skillpoints.

If you want to reasonably sell this then you’re not going to sell it at a profit. You’d have to sell it below the cost of mats to make since any reasonable player who would want to by it could just use the other alternative and craft it himself.

Has happened to me lately aplenty in the past month. Good thing I have 2 cleanses

If they came out with achievement rewards at release you wouldn’t be complaining. It only seems like people are getting flooded with badges because we have a huge backlog of achievement points to be rewarded.

I cannot help you in terms of SPvP, but in terms of WvW…

As a guy who has an 80 warrior, thief, elementalist, guardian (my main and most playtime) and mesmer…

Ele- Plenty of ranged aoe skills that hard hit. Moderate survivability.Does well in WvW zergs since you can nuke from a far distance and nuke hard.
Thief – can be an aggressive class. Master it well and you can take solace in that you annoy enemies (especially when you gank and harrass them). Terrible in WvW, though considering it’s mostly a zerg fest)
Guardian – greatest class in GW2 in terms of overall gameplay (but I’m biased). One of the best PvE options in the game and great in survivability. Largely limited to melee/mid-range. OK for WvW, just don’t expect a lot of bags.
Mesmer – I don’t have much experience with this class, but it’s complicated, squishy and slow. I hate this class
Warrior – best DPS/survivability combo in the game. Can excel both at melee/range.

So all in all, I think Ele and Warrior fit what you want. The other classes lack aggressive playstyle and toughness.

BBMouse.6510:

How do I put this? It’s more or less the lag issue. I jump with #1 and somehow don’t move at all. #2 just flash me here or there like phases and end up not where I want and don’t seem to advance much. #3 is the worst. Fail all the time. A few spots that do not require targeting I can fail and fall down like a lag pull me back. My record is 15 trys and fall down and restart at the same check point. Don’t think I have the patience to continue with this live story any more. It’s a torture.

Don’t you mean “my internet connection is terrible”?

Don’t blame the minigame for your shoddy connection

Gives to all characters. But remember the node itself is account bound. Once you mine it on one character it will not be available until reset.

They will unlikely come up with another molten alliance mining pick, but they will most likely come out with other themed unlimited pick

I.e. they could have released a Dragon Basher Pick or a Zephryite Lightning Pick

You know what would be great? a sPvP game pitting Kiel supporters vs Evon supporters. You could set it up as a riot in Lion’s Arch or something with various weapons.

Obviously radiant. Hellfire is the same mould as Cof gear. I remember during release, EVERYONE was wearing that set because they liked the darkness and the flames and what not. But because everyone had it, it grew tiring pretty quick.

khani.4786:

I’m okay with people standing back and waiting for others….that’s their choice. It’s when there’s one person at the end sniping others to get their friends ahead that I see a problem. That is cheating and unfair. Just standing there & waiting is not.

That’s nice and all but it’s near impossible to join a game with your friends.

You don’t know how to play the game right, that’s why you aren’t in 1st.

Learn what each skill does and play STRATEGICALLY and you will win.

Important tips:
-Learn the best spots to place bombs. Don’t place them out of nowhere or in suspicious spots. Place them on lightning pads or narrow corridors. Place them at the end/start of crystal chains
-Use grounded when you notice lightning will strike
-Keep an eye out for shortcuts

You have a small chance of getting it from the home node.

Please be aware that you need to unlock the item first to activate the node. You get it for completing the Bazaar Achievements (not all of them, just enough to get the item).

what’s wrong with t3 asura on male asura? hideous?

Oh other things came to mind:

-back about a month after release I tried desperately to get 400 armorsmith. Overall I spent close to 100g because I kept refining or crafting stuff rather than discovering new items which give the most EXP
-using an outdated crafting guide which didn’t take into consideration fluctuating prices, which led me to waste a ton of gold. Now I use a guide that has dynamic pricing so I always get the cheapest 400 craft.

^^This. It would be the wrong precursor. Or it should have been two. Lol.

I can see the posts already :

“Bad ANet gave me that precursor, now I have to farm T6 fine mats to make my Legendary!”

And you know that scavenger hunt that is coming sometime in the 2nd half?

“Thx anet for the precrsors but now all the lonestones and t6 mats are high now. So now we are no better off than without the scavenger hunt. Please fix?!?!?!?!”

I’m pretty sure one of the devs played around the idea with legendary dyes awhile back (they didn’t commit to doing it they just said that would be a possibility)

Nothing that stupid but:

-selling ancient bones at around 11s after holding them for 3 months. Needed gold fast so I sold them. A month later they went up to 17s.
-same as above but for armored scales. Sold them at 11s. Now they’re at 25s or so.

If anet gave you a precursor and 100g

People would still complain

yes coz it should be 2 – a precursor used on land and a precursor used underwater, and 500g.

What you mean only two precursors and 500G?

I should have all the mats needed to make my Legendaries as well.

Whatever dude. They are forcing me to craft to have my legendary, and forcing me to explore the map and forcing me to PvP.

I think it’s fair that every account deserves a legendary upon log-in.

Im hoping you are being sarcastic… __

If you spent a lot of time on the forums you’d realize I’m one of those in favor of making legendaries harder to get.

So yes :P

Nick.6972:

Is LS a filler or is it tied to the main story line?

If not, what happened to the whole epic “Dragons are attacking the world” thing?

Why are we having these cheerful festivals if the world around us is being destroyed and people are dying around us, that doesn’t make any sense to me.

Wasn’t the story supposed to be based around the war against the dragons and their minions, what we have now is just goofy/corny fillers, or am I missing something?

Thousands of people are dying from hunger today and hundreds more are dying in the streets across the world in less fortunate places. But instead of mourning their loss and committing to action that would help them, you’re sitting here playing games and having fun.

See what I did there?

So what if there is constant danger with Bubbles or Jormag mulling about. Are you going to be depressed and worried the whole time? Maybe if the danger is immediate, sure that makes sense. But the citizens of Tyria need to get away from all that and have fun

RoyalPredator.9163:

Listen people. I’m not arguing about the fact we get something now, and I know it is a really nice thing at least.

My problem is, I want to get something, but something I would even like. Now this is something you people can’t argue with.

This is why I’ve suggested to have different sets unlocked as whole at each milestone of AP. This way, everyone would have something he/she wants, and wouldn’t be a problem if you don’t like the current unlock – you’ll get another style at next!
So it keeps people motivated to go further and further with APs.
Right now, you can pick up some Zenith by time, and thats all. it would go very long if someone wants to collect all of them, and I’m sure arenanet don’t want limits on these sets

I hope you guys now get my logic and mean.

And then you’d find yourself not liking those same skins and will come up with another post saying that these skins “aren’t my taste” and you’d request further skins until you’d be satisfied.

Anet can’t satisfy everybody.

alcopaul.2156:

why do you complain when you are given more? you should not be complaining!

I know right?!?!

The problem is inflation… if you print more money, then those who have money saved lose out as their money is now worth less. So those who have saved badges lose out in this case because any future item that costs badges will likely be more expensive to compensate for the easier access to badges.

I personally don’t like this because I feel badges should only be awarded for WvW activity — I’d be happy if badges were taken out of the JP’s entirely.

Badges are not a tradeably currency, so no inflation doesn’t apply

Use mystic forge stones in the forge with other cheap exotics.

I’ve used about 30 stones in my time since release and just got Zap yesterday.

If anet gave you a precursor and 100g

People would still complain

I just can’t bring myself to spend that much money on a tonic.

Doesn’t it serve the exact same purpose as the consumable ones? Or are those ones just one color?

I believe it’s simply whether there is an enemy in the circle or not.

Whether it’s 1 or 10, you will be prevented from capturing it.

Mad Rasputin.7809:

While I agree with the sentiment that this is WvW and if you don’t want to fight don’t come here, getting their rears handed to them by ‘griefers’ is in no way shape or form going to encourage anyone to stick around and play WvW. Just the opposite I think.

Well for one, they’re not griefers.

And second, if you play WvW, expect to die a lot. If everything was so easy and you never died, what’s the fun in that?

You get killed in EBJ? Bring your friends. At least this time you have a shared interest in doing it.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Yes, there is. You can customize your soundtrack with music of your choice. =)

I’m gonna swap in some Two Steps From Hell (the best ‘uplifting/combat’ group out there)

DevonCarver.5370:

It is absolutely intended that you can fight people in the JP. The fact that so many people are piling into the map to get the achievement is good for any and all of you who are capable of laying the smack down on them, and, if they manage to fight back is hopefully going to encourage some of them to stick around and play WvW. If you don’t want to get killed by other players, don’t play WvW. Plain and simple. The achievement isn’t required for getting the meta-achievement on purpose.

I agree. The achievement isn’t required by any means and it can be quite a lot of fun having to fight through all those people.

Yesterday myself and four friends formed up a party to get that achievement. We ended up getting steamrolled by a whole guild of Darkhaven. So we brought our guild (and several others) and fought our way collectively to fight through the JP. It took awhile, and several mesmer portals, but we got it.

It was the most satisfying achievement I’ve got to date.

If you play an MMO expecting to play because of the story, you are going to be massively disappointed every single time.

The calling card of MMO’s is not the story. It’s gameplay.

Ok so lately, spawning into LA has made me want to kill myself. My server is overrun with 15 year olds who browse reddit and it gets really annoying reading the dumb kitten they say. Basically my question is, are there any servers with mature players?

I dont mean mature as in uptight 30 year olds, I mean players who dont interact like this:

‘’lol and one time, he said he almost saw a kitten!’’
’’xD’’
‘’wow I logged on at the wroong time’’

Just picture your average reddit thread. Thats basically LA map chat when my server isnt dead and its making me want to transfer.

Too bad. If you find that type of banter annoying, then block them. That’s why we have that ability in game.

We also have the ability to transfer servers friendo. Hence me asking. Pls take your smart aleckness somewhere else

And you think there is some pristine virgin server out there with polite 80 year old grandmothers playing?

You’re in the wrong gaming genre if you expect a server out there to uphold a ‘mature community’ mantra.

Well, that’s just, like, you’re opinion man.

I personally don’t mind minigames. I enjoy them and move on when I’m bored.

Go look at your map and hover through each zone, it will tell you your % to map completion.

With 6 missing WP I’m pretty sure you have missed some waypoints, there is no other way

mrauls.6519:

Hi guys,

I’m saving my gold up to buy a legendary, and I was wondering if someone who knows prices well enough could tell me how much on average it would cost to buy Sunrise or Twilight on the TP

The prices on the TP have significant mark-up and have a 400-600g premium on the items you cannot buy.

I personally use

http://www.gw2legendary.com/

It updates the costs based on current prices of materials.

Once you reach 80 there really is no reason to stay in lower-level zones.

There are also several zones for each level range and as such, you have characters within your level range spread all over the world.

It also doesn’t help that we have a Living Story event that uplevels everyone to 80, so low levels are trying to take advantage of that.

You might want to consider guesting to the more popular servers, such as Tarnished Coast or SoR.

Yes they announced that it would be removed

You just don’t like it because you were used to the other one.

You just don’t like change.

Isn’t this common sense? Especially in the real world?

When you have $10,000,000 in the bank you can use that money to earn a lot more. You can safely earn a lot in interest as well.

As opposed to that poor person working minimum wage, they don’t have any money to spare after expenses to build upon.

As a rich player, what do you expect me to do? Hand out all my gold?

I’m going to do what’s best for me. If I see investment opportunities I will take advantage of it.

Don’t know when it was opened but it’s available on IoJ as of 7:33 server time

IDooMx.1289:

Thanks the speedy replies, I have a better general idea of how I may play the game now.
Does the selection of my server matter much? Perhaps if I were to do PvP at some point? Or not at all?

You choose a home server but you can guest to up to 2 other servers every day. However, you can only participate in WvW on your home server. To move to another server to WvW you will need to pay a fee.

For pve…
-dungeons
-open world events
-open world metaevents
-fractals
-living story
- lvl all 5 classes and all 8 races to 80

On crafting
-complicated but not interesting
-primarily used to level up characters (you can lvl up a character in 6 hours by crafting..costs under 100g)
-not profitable due to economic efficiency

On casual-gamer
-Very much so, but you are often enticed to log-in everyday and play anywhere from 1-2 hours (in order to get you dailies). It’s not required, though
-There is new content every 2 weeks so make sure you soak it up since most content is temporary and you will never see again.

Add/whisper me in game and if you need some bag slots to help with leveling I can send you some

Savoy.6824:

So they are introducing Celestial armor in tomorrow’s patch. Celestial is an all stats combo, something previously only found on Ascended accessories or trinkets (or in divinity runes, which cost an outrageous 8 to 9 gold)

It takes a 125 quartz to make one piece of of the new armor and it takes 5 days to refine those 125 quartz pieces so in total it would take 750 quartz pieces and 25 days to make a full suit. That’s a sizable amount of time to make a suit of armor but its nice to have an option because before if you wanted armor with all stat combos you had to spend about 54 gold

So if your like me and wanted a zerker suit of armor with all stat combos for runes you can switch it up and go all stat combo armor and then use ruby orbs to get the zerker stats. I guess this post is sort of a public service announcement to let you know that if you like all stat combo gear, you dont have to get screwed over by the trading post to get it

So how about celestial armor with divinity runes?

This may actually warrant a price increase!

I personally use a n52te (cheap nowadays) and a regular mouse.

Then the keyboard is meant for typing.

I think increasing stack size to 500 would be a good start. On everything. Including salvage kits.

It’s already been confirmed about a month ago that this will be purchasable from the gem store.
