Guild Wars 2

Go to cursed shore and farm shelt/pen. Best gold in game.

And perhaps they made up for this by adding several other daily achievement quests, instead of the usual 4?

I didn’t know we had DR in terms of events. If I recall, that was removed a long time ago (I’ve farmed Cursed Shore events for +12 hours straight and never got DR)

You can never please everyone.

Bought a ton of t6 mats when they were only worth around 50-70c.

Sold them later when price shot up a ton. Helped me afford Bifrost which at that time was 145g.

I also did the same with Wall of the Mists, which was a bugged recipe (not an exploit). Cost only 40g to make but when fixed it eventually rose up to +120g

Wish they’d respond to this – I mean how hard can it be to add a badge to a weapon.

facepalm

Fixing sunrise isn’t exactly the biggest of their priorities, and as with most bugs, it’s not as easy to fix.

Only a select number of people have sunrise, and even fewer care about the badge, so why take away resources from more important fixes?

Uhm, it affects those of us with Twilight as well. It’s a pretty important fix for us, seeing as we busted our balls to craft our legendary weapons and deserve the rewards that come with it. Who are you, again, to determine what is and isn’t important?

It’s common sense. What’s more important, fixing story line quests or dungeon bugs that hinder progress, or a medal that no one really sees or cares about?

MrNobody.4357:

Ok i was very interested in coming back to GW2 after i stopped playing because of the drop rates introduced in November patch, but i see there is no will into making this game fun instead of just a grind job.

Such a grind based game only benefits bots, because they can profit before they are caught, and since i don’t like or endorse botting, nor i like the idea of a game where my maximum hope and excitement as player is the thrill of dropping a crafting material i do need, then i’ll continue staying away from the game, and spend my money happily elsewhere.

I’m displeased my post is negative, there is no flame or troll or hate making intent, but just my honest feedback.

Have fun with the bots, to next patch hopefully, sincerely

You do know that you can sell T6 mats, right? If you don’t need them? And that you make a ton more money selling those T6 mats rather than hoping for a rare to drop?

I grind a lot in Cursed Shore, enough for me to make a ton of gold. So does that make me a bot?

Loosifah.4739:

I fail to see how more t5 mats is better than more t6 mats.

It’s not. But overall you’re better off before the patch on Jan. 28 thanks to the huge influx of moldy bags.

They never promised it, putting words in their mouth won’t change a thing.

Bartas.4908:

1. Uni objects are just vendor trash, sell it
2. there is a new WP in CS in south-eastern corner. If you had 100% map of this zone it should be visible on your map
3. No idea about the sky but some mobs had their sizes adjusted (like abdominations are really big now)

Other changes:
we had great drop rate of mats and bags in Orr (for a few hours) but ANet decided it was too good and nerfed it hard to the same poor level as it was before patch so expect to see loads of Porous Bones

Moldy bags didn’t change at all. It’s the t6 drop rate that fell. T5 went up.

Tip:

Don’t use gem to gold unless you are absolutely desperate for money. i.e. you’re only 50g away from a legendary

It’s very easy to make gold in Cursed Shore farming that you’ll quickly regret spending real $.

Khaledor.4830:

Thank you for your answer.

But I think Anet should add a way to do it, they didnt advised me that they were changing legendary weapons when i started crafting it. Don’t you think?

Absolutely, I believe there should be a way to get your materials back.

As for changes, they’re free to do whatever they want with their designs. If there are changes then it’s unfortunate.

In my experience (Crafted over 180 clovers, which is still a small sample size), the 10 recipe has a better chance of rewarding clovers. Of course though, you also risk out losing a ton of money.

Nope.

This is why you don’t combine everything until you have everything ready, just in case there are changes or you pick up another precursor.

Lafiel.9372:

Hmm the drop rate of t6 has been nerfed worst than before any of the patches prior to 28th Jan. Moldy bag drop rate seems to be same as pre patch 28th jan. T5 drop rate seems to have remained same or increased since 28th jan

Moldy bag seems to be the same? Are you kidding me? Maybe if you’re killing non-DE mobs, sure, but anyone who has spent time in Cursed Shore farming events knows that moldy bags have at least doubled in drop rate.

Relax.

They lowered the t6 mat drop rate and increased the t5 rate. Moldy bag rate seems the same.

In the end you’re better off than pre-patch

If someone is willing to pay 900g for a Dusk, then Dusk has been underpriced the whole time. The price of an item is what the seller and buying are willing to sell/buy it for.

Nothing to see here folks.

felivear.1536:

During promotion before betas they touted a system where “we can patch on the fly and not require server downtime”. I still haven’t seen this implemented, but apparently they have the system.

Having to download a patch and server downtime are two completely different things.

When was the last time the game was down for an extended period of time for MAINTENANCE?

I have figured it out guys – less t6 drops, more t5 now.

I have also been noticing less rares (I didn’t have any DR with the initial patch), but can’t confirm

Why are you guys so worked up over the patch time? Jesus christ. It’ll be released when it’s ready.

We are going to get the notes before the patch.

LTBK.1024:

ZaxanRazor.6235:

Again, it even states on the EU VERSIONS OF THE GUILD WARS 2 PAGES that launch is the 28th. THESE ARE PAGES SPECIFIC TO THE EU.

So we should expect it on the 28th because our own pages have that information correct?

Reposting this part for the last time. I hope that you all understand once and for all that we aren’t talking just about what does it say on the english page/forums.

Also, just to note it again, dates and times were localized for previous events. Why not for this one? Why all this confusion and why can’t they simply clarify it as requested?

At least this thread will hopefully serve some purpose and remind them about this specific issue for the next time we get some dates.

I doubt Arenanet cares about people who get all worked up over a patch day. Besides, all you crazy folks will just forget about it by tomorrow.

Just like no one remembers patch day in November – do you?

Comon OP, what’s so hard to understand about it.

The Bot ban wave increased the price for many of the high volume, high value commodities like t6 and globs. There’s nothing wrong with that.

And then you throw in the speculators who keep trying to buy them up thinking it’ll keep going up, well – it’ll hit a wall.

Just like how during the first ban wave in November, ectos reached 37s and then immediately crashed to 30s.

I find it hilarious people are so worked up in regards to the patch time. If Arenanet were to delay it by 1 minute past midnight I’m sure we’d have the second coming of WW3 here.

But of course we’ll all forget about it a week from now.

I’m not even sure if selling gold is illegal by the law.

Yes, it’s against their TOS, but that doesn’t mean it’s illegal.

Nothing is wrong with market manipulation. It only works to a certain extent.

There will be a point where the buyer will not be willing to pay the price of the seller.

Market manipulation will only lead to finding equilibrium quicker.

For the longest time, I was a big advocate here for investing in piles since it’s a safe investment. It was only then I realized that these piles only drop from Risen mobs did I decide to sell all.

Right now they’re used to make certain runes as well as food that helps against Risen. I just can’t see it being used for something else that is generic.

It’s still a good investment, but I don’t see it skyrocketing.

This forum is not a black market, this thread will be deleted soon.

It will be hilarious when someone asks you to craft one of the junk legendaries and you’re left with it when the buyer runs away.

1296 hours, got both Sunrise and Bifrost, on my way to Flameseeker (just need t6 and clovers)

Nope, not bored with legendaries. Half way to my 3rd one.

Maybe next time, preview the item online before you invest in making it?

The Blue Ace.2850:

They’re being very very stubborn about this topic.

Hilarious that you’re still bitter.

The WvW bosses have been killed hundreds of times.

Conduits are not soulbound so you can still get them if people wish to sell theirs.

People who complain about getting killed in JP’s just fuel my desire to keep killing them.

Yak’s Bend – despite being crushed by Maguuma the previous match-up since they clearly do not belong in T4, we still have several organized WvW guilds that have not jumped ship. In fact, we used the entire week to organize karma trains to encourage the lower levels and other folks who only PvE to join for some easy, stress free farm. Also serves well to train others.

We have a ton of people in the mumble channel and on prime times can field over 100 in the channel.

You can also join in on our mumble (details on website as listed above) and just ask around in any of the borderland channels.

On a side note,

The one thing that amazes me is that despite having several fairly large guilds on the server, there is no hostility or competition. Everyone works together as if we were one huge guild.

aaaand here we go!

Erp someone beat you to it. We already had a thread.

Where there was once two, there is now one.

Mark, please ensure that you fix the Golems in a Box issue in the next patch.

He’s not a dev

So Arenanet turns out not to be a troll, and you just didn’t understand how the trading post works.

VowWoefist.8743:

I am not trying to suggest making Legendaries easy to acquire,

but that is what you are suggesting. Legendary process right now is still too easy.

Common posts in the next few weeks
-Server X is full of exploiters
-All server X does is zerg, zerg zerg
-Stop camping JP server X
-all other relevant Q.Q

I’m been on Mag for a week now (original Yaks player but doing map completion before it gets difficult).

Just reading over map chat is just downright embarrassing – all the arrogance and taunting – It will be hilarious to see how many Magg jump off the bandwagon as soon as they hit some real competition that is appropriate for their tier. They obviously do not belong to t4, and may very well get steamrolled in t3. Just look at Dragonbrand who last week steamrolled through t4 (granted, with a powerful night team) and just lost it all this week. Now I hear people are jumping ship off Dragonbrand?

Oh well, have fun with the bandwagoners.

Ursan.7846:

Um. Does the OP even understand what a “loot table” means?

Apparently not. Just another person who doesn’t like the drop rate and is rambling on and on

SteepledHat.1345:

How about they give us a real means to obtain one? The whole process is a legendary gamble. Lmao, how epic.

Why not just give everything to you for free?

Download the game – > Win the game

You don’t like it, don’t gamble. It’s called gambling for a reason.

At least be happy that you have the other option of saving up and buying it.

Even if they did not allow it, how would they know that you didn’t go through with it? And will they be able to make the argument that the tattoo looks exactly like their dragon’s and thus copies their intellectual property?

On an unrelated note, are you sure you want to make a perma tattoo of a dragon? What if you end up not liking the game? It’s like having a Tattoo of some boss in Aion or SWTOR ;P

Jiro.6589:

maybe vol, but bot bans also meant less tier5 mats, so price of the mats goes up, people craft less or when they do craft it becomes more expensive, thus the price goes up. Also it should not be forgotten how much rares each bot can find per 24 hours and since they are now temporarily out of the picture, another reason the price goes up.
taking a look @ gw2spidy reveals a supply of 5000 and a demand of 88000….ouch

Maybe so – the first bot ban wave in November eventually led to a high of 37S per ecto.

…then don’t use waypoints? You are not forced into using them.

People are speculating that the Monday patch is going to introduce new recipes, such as the recipes to create better infused versions of ascended amulets.
