Guild Wars 2

Here are the people who are kittened off by the change so far:
-dual legendary holders, + other expensive exotics
-people who like to mix-match town clothes
-people who bought multiple dyes
-people who absolutely hate anything involving the gem store

The first three I can get behind, the latter I have no sympathy for because they think GW2 should be a charity.

As with all changes, there will be people who will be negatively affected. And they are more than likely to be vocal about their displeasure.

Either way, these changes are for the good of the game – it’s players and creators.

I really don’t understand the people who are annoyed that this will cost money.

Do you honestly think Anet would be willing to sacrifice a huge chunk of sales? Transmutation crystals are more than likely their #1 selling item, and probably their highest grossing one. It’s an item that is constantly in demand.

Spinal Blueprints, no. What did you expect these items to go up to? Sure these blueprints could have gone up 100% but that could have been 1s – > 2s

Mini Magnuses are the same deal as the tonics. If they rise too much, supply on TP will rise as people dump theirs.

Doesn’t look like it.

Introducing the latest farm, The Rata Sum Farm ™ !

Farm map completion on Rata Sum to get 3 free Transmutation stones, which will now convert to 1 transmutation charge!

Easily and completable in under 20 minutes! Join Today!

Sell them now. They were never a good item to invest in and only good for short-term flipping.

As mentioned, they could increase long-term, but not by much and opportunity costs kill that

Izaya.2906:

Will unid dyes stop dropping or something after feature patch?

They said they will not be dropping anymore, but they will still be available through rewards and crafting. There is no word whether they will remove them from Laurels

Also keep in mind that several players will have a chunk of unidentified dyes on patch day since they are handing them out for duplicates.

The only people I see that are apprehensive about it are dual legendary holders

so far

Rennoko.5731:

Wait… can one of you economy savvy people explain to me what is going on with the dyes right now?

1. There are going to be new ways to get dyes come patch day, and we have no idea at what frequency or cost this will be, but presumably in such a way that is not horribly painful to get dyes.

2. Anyone who has unlocked a really good dye across multiple characters is going to get that dye back on patch day, resulting in a flood of the best dyes coming back on the market (see abyss dye). And a massive flood of common dyes.

So my question is, why the freakout and mass purchase of dyes? It seems like the reasonable person would just wait till right after the patch and get dyes then, while everyone is unloading their duplicates. It seems like a lot of stock is being put into the new way to aquire dyes being insufficient to meet personal need.

There are many things that go through the mind of a speculator.

Right now, we are certain that the supply of dyes will go down in the long run. That’s a good thing as scarcity can push the price up. Of course, there will be issues in terms of people converting laurels, crafting/forging dyes, as well as the duplication system outlined in the blogpost.

So speculators are banking on this scarcity to be a factor in the future.

As for the demand for unid dyes, Anet doesn’t think there will be increased demand. We don’t know yet, and that is up for speculation on what the demand will be like and whether it can work with or against the supply side.

A lot of times, people don’t understand the news but just react to it. They glance at a word or phrase and immediately buy or sell, since it can takes seconds for price movements to fluctuate rapidly.

I only wish I was there an hour ago to take advantage of other speculators.

I guess Anet deserves an apology, Mr. Swagger

It’s days like these that I wish I were unemployed.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Vol for this thread. My Unidentified Dyes have been sitting on the TP at 35s for a while now, and yesterday they all sold!

lol pelion is going to kill me

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Naevius.3185:

Any color you have on any character will be on all characters; you will get an extra dye for every duplicate.

Curiously, the price of unidentified dyes started going up before today, so some people obviously had inside info.

Or they knew that china was receiving an account wide dye system and there was a blog post titled “Colors”…

hardly inside info…

and let’s not forget about people looking at the titles of the blogpost last Friday and putting 2 and 2 together

Welp, a stack of dyes yesterday cost about 90g.

Today that’s worth +250g

That’s what I’m doing when I get home!

If you are in game, cash out now!

If you have an item that has gone through skin progression, like a legendary weapon or one of the Spinal Blade backpacks from the “Escape from Lion’s Arch” and “Battle for Lion’s Arch” releases, you will unlock all of the skins in that direct line of progression. That means that if you made Twilight, you will have access to both the Twilight and Dusk skins across your entire account. If you’ve created the Dynamic Tempered Spinal Blades, you’ll unlock that skin and all previous Spinal Blade skins.

You bet your bookah I’m gonna be putting my FSP/Meteor/Eternity/Bifrost on all 4 of my guardians.

As of this post dyes rose 20s

I regret not investing in them.

Watch the dye price spike lol

I wonder how this will sit with people who made dual incinerators etc. lol

Well if anything, they’d be using it now for the extra legendary stat boost! Is it worth the +2000 gold it costs? Not anymore lol

Does the wardrobe also keep the stats? From what i gather, you can use the skin on all characters but the item you use it on, determines the stats. So if you want pistols with ascended and switchable stats on 2 characters, you still need to have 1 incinerator on each character.

I’m too excited to dig through the post further but I would assume it would work the way it was before. After all, it doesn’t make sense to have a lvl 80 stat legendary on your lvl 1.

Sera.6539:

I’m guessing the charge amount is going to be through the roof for the legendary skins. If not, we’ll be seeing even more of them around, on lower level characters no less, haha.

I don’t know if it’s in the blogpost but I wouldn’t mind having the # of charges required increased among rarity

i.e.

blues/greens/rares/exotics = 1 charge
ascended = 3 charges
legendary = 10 charges

New blog post:
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/dyes-in-the-new-account-wardrobe/

-unid dyes will no longer be available as drops, but from rewards and the forge

I’m not in game but I’m sure unid dyes are gonna spike HARD

Out of my 5 legendaries, I bought 4 precursors and used 1 from a drop.

Although, I have picked up/gambled quite a few precursors which helped indirectly fund them.

Might as well be SAD right now, since there is no way they’ll put up one of the most beloved contents out at the same time the WvW Tournament starts. They want to get as much people in WvW as possible and SAB would do exactly opposite of that.

^ this

I would hate to be Josh Foreman who would work months on SAB and then Anet comes out with content that competes against him.

Here is a simple image of all rich iron ore/platinum nodes that are fixed

http://i.imgur.com/YeOTMUR.jpg

Elaborate Totems were a great investment but now they are average out over 30s. They used to be I think 11S 2 months ago.

They could still go up, especially since they are currently hit by a price wall of only 600 units last I checked. But who knows, maybe it’ll reach 40s. But it’s not worth the risk I think.

Weapon skins are your best bet.

I use all 4 guards to farm. All the remaining 80s are parked at rich iron nodes. They used to be parked at the LA jp, but I haven’t found a mesmer to port yet.

Chef could end up making longer lasting foods, or even foods that have better values.

But that sort of defeats the purpose of ascended, since all ascended in game is at the minimum account bound.

What we could also see is the introduction of ascended dyes.

I’m always tempted to share my secrets on how to make 12 g/h or 400-600 g per week, but I feel like some people are not worthy of having that kind of information.

If it does not involve TP flipping (I already do that) then I would like to submit my application to learn what your method is. Also, your figures are based on how much time played per day?

Either TP or selling Arah if i can bet.

Not TP selling, nor Arah selling (I hate dungeons).

I’m purely a mob/event farmer. Legit stuff, non exploits, non-champ trains

At least 45 hours a week playing GW2 nets me 400g, which is on the conservative side on a bad week. I get about +500g.

Unfortunately, if everyone did what I did (and I know of 3-4 regulars that do this), our income would be cut in half. So our secret shall remain a secret, for now.

Your post sounds more like trolling than anything else. Why do you post that you can make lots of gold and what not only to tell people after that you won’t say how… In any case, making money in this game is not hard, do a couple of dungeons farm a couple of champs and that’s all you need.

Because it’s possible to make gold if people utilized the systems in place in GW2. I can make this much gold as a hardcore farmer – a casual can make a fraction of that even 100G a week spending no more than 2-3 hours per day playing the game.

Why do people neglect to do this? Can be a combination of reasons, ranging from lack of playing time to laziness to not playing smart.

If you had a poll that asked if every player in game should be rewarded 1 free legendary of their choice, I bet we’d end up with the same results.

Unfortunately, many players do not think about the game and other people – only themselves.

We can ignore the animal cruelty in this game, the persistent racism, the encouragement of genocide as well as the killing of children and looting their corpses (http://puu.sh/49pDO.gif)

but god forbid this!

Be careful it involves playing a Guadian. Don’t go to the dark side.

This is true. There is a reason why I have four guardians!

He’s a pretty good commander without it, but it certainly gave him the edge in terms of timing.

Like spamming open field ACs all over the place in anticipation of our zerg? Yeah…

T1 has dealt with tag watchers and spies for months and months. We just push on and deal with it. Take lots of screenshots and send them to ANet support to try get the more obvious ones banned (the ones walking golems off cliffs, or throwing ballista build sites down on the commander every 2 seconds).

That’s not unique or special at all.

A better example is knowing when the enemy is stacking and going to be pushing out, so that he can call out all CC’s and bomb portals.

He also keeps track of commander tags on the map so that he won’t get any surprises and knows where all the blobs are at.

But as I said, he’s a good enough commander even without these. Pretty good at leading the pugs as well.

Tomorrow will pass by and we’ll all forget about this.

No one cares about the patches several months ago that got delayed for a few hours, right?

chronometria.3708:

Well, as to that commander, one can only help that he felt a real fool when his likely reward turned out to be some temporary dolyak finishers and a couple of greens.

The only thing that may have discouraged all this spying, ddos and other shenanigans is the fact that it turned out not to have been worth it for season one.

On the same token, aren’t we all fools for having some pixels as a reward for spending hours of our time that could be better spent with friends and family?

If he wishes to play that way and gets enjoyment from it, then by all means.

There is nothing you can do about WvW spies, nor can you prove.

I know of one commander that had a multi-monitor set up with characters on the other T1 servers. He placed them strategically on certain parts of the map, especially in areas that he would be invading or defending.

He’s a pretty good commander without it, but it certainly gave him the edge in terms of timing.

Didn’t expect to see a thread like this here.

Srsly guys

You’re not going to see any significant movement for these tonics. You’d have to have one person or a group of people buying up all the supply in the game (TP and inventory). And that is a huge risk that requires a lot of capital. No one will do that since there are other, safer alternatives.

If price gets to a high amount suddenly, like a noob speculator buying all the tonics pushing the price to 100g, everyone is going to dump theirs since it is not bound.

Either way, watch out for the ensuing outrage and threats to quit the game because news that was ‘promised’ was delayed one day.

People still do the champ train on certain servers.

Some servers also do the karka train (JQ/Sor) but there are not as many people – maybe a dozen.

I’m always tempted to share my secrets on how to make 12 g/h or 400-600 g per week, but I feel like some people are not worthy of having that kind of information.

Jesus christ I didn’t even take a look at unid dyes since then – I always assumed they were around 33s.

But they’re 40s now!

da kiiiiiitten

Well I don’t think anyone who runs with the train carries zerkers, other than killshot warrior and thieves.

It’s gonna hit roamers, if anything.

I thought karka farming was like 4g/hour…

I dunno about you guys, but compared to the Ele’ traits, these seem useless.

Communal Defense would be great if it affected everyone, but I it’s a max of 5 players.

sory but wtf. wvw season, servers that won, did not get nearly as 1% of this pvp tournament winning. wtf is this crap. by your logic. everyone should just get a legendary. because best wvw server right?

lol Best WvW doesn’t mean people are skilled.

Not only do you have leechers who probably don’t even WvW regularly, but WvW is not necessarily a game of skill, but coverage.

ugh is it? Is there a way to remove screens?

and so basically, nothing will happen. gtk i guess, although annoying. dont see the point in a report for verbal abuse if no action is taken.

**edit: I deleted them but they’re still showing for me when I refresh. hope they get deleted soon.

Geezus bookah dude, all it takes is to right click the name, report Verbal Abuse.

It takes 5 seconds.

By not reporting it, you are encouraging more instances of this happening.

If no one reported it, Anet would have no ability to tell that it’s happening in game.

Suck it up, report it, block and move on. Simple.

Report them for verbal abuse. They will get temp banned.
