Guild Wars 2

Whine whine whine. If you don’t like what a recipe gives you, don’t use it.

Getting the precursor is actually the hardest part. A legendary weapon isn’t something you should be able to get in a week.

Lani.1429:

Right and all those Dye’s are from Cursed shore, which are at least 80% either Commen or Uncommen, nice try though.

Still, if only 1% of those dyes is worth a lot (2,5-3g) you already have profit. Get 1 abyss and you can fund another 200 Unidentified dyes.

More ways to make money:
Get multiple characters to max level and mine Orichalcum.

Buy high level rare items from the TP and salvage them with Black Lion Salvage Kits you happen to find by opening BL chests with keys from your storyline. (but don’t spend money/gold to buy Kits or Keys). Sell the ecto’s.

Craft Mystic Weapons with your skillpoints.

Farm certain events. Temple of Grenth is a good chain, especially if there’s not much people around so the chain eventually fails and restarts. Focus on the small Ice Elementals that die in 1-2 hits, those have a chance to drop Corrupted Lodestones worth 80s on the trading post.

Farm Arah. Spend tokens on 30-token rare items and salvage those, sell the ecto’s. Each run can net 1g+.

Buy 10k Black Lion Chests when the price is low (2-3c ea), and quickly sell when the price bumps up (15-20c). Happens sometimes and 5-10x your input is a nice profit, if you ask me.

Mace/Shield warrior with defensive utilities ftw. So much block.

Unnecessary. Aggro rotates already. Players being unable to control aggro, except with stuff like Stealth/Wards/Pets/Minions/Clones, makes the game more fun. Adding skills that force aggro on 1 player brings it one step closer to the unHoly Trinity, which is boring.

What do you mean with “an army”?

Mesmer clones? Necromancer minions? Charr Warband Support? Guardian spirit weapons? Bots? Guild?

^ Human Necro or Mesmer.

Not a Thief problem. It happens with every profession.

Still needs a fix though.

BrunoBRS.5178:

i can outheal anything!

Looks like a standard Thief condition build to me, except made worse. You lack proper condition removal (cripple, chill, immobility), stun breakers and moveability. Also Daggerstorm is like the weakest thief elite, grab Thieves Guild, it deals more damage.

Ditch the signet for “Roll for Initiative”.

You should be able to copy it just fine.

But it ís ingame. You just acquire it through other means.

zombyturtle.5980:

We are on gandara but see more people speaking french than english. Maybe they are just more vocal in map but its pretty annoying :P

You sure you’re not in an overflow? I’ve been on Gandara since launch and haven’t seen a single player talk french, let alone in map chat.

According to the wiki you can get it from Ascalon Catacombs, Sorrow’s Embrace and Honor of the Waves.

edit: ninja’d

Gandara

Tagging a foe isn’t enough. You need to do a specific amount of damage.

The Plinx event chain was never worth it because there’s so few foes. Grenth chain was, and still is, the best place to farm.

Any evidence to support your magic find claim? The personal experience of 1 (or several) player(s) isn’t evidence, unless you have killed hundreds of thousands of monsters and catalogued/counted each and every drop.

Maybe get armor without magic find stats. Should solve your damage/tagging problems and your “magic find cap” “problems”.

Guild Wars 1 didn’t have gear progression past max level…

I wish people stopped comparing GW2 with games like SWTOR, Rift and Aion… Compare it to GW1.

Dabu.1258:

i dont think so, all armors looks amazing for Thieves, but only for Thieves T_T

Nononono, not at all. It’s all these impractical longcoats and big hats or masks that cover only half the face. Thieves need pants and a tight mask.

Typically, I tend to lean more toward DPS-heavy casting, ranged and stealth classes, while eschewing tank characters.

Mesmer has ranged and limited stealth, but rather low damage. Very nice when soloing bosses though.

Guardians have limited ranged capabilities and are more of a support profession, usually more tanky than other professions.

And I don’t know about Necromancers.

According to the wiki there’s a limit to how much gold new players can send. Gives no indication about how much or how long this limit lasts.

Maybe try mailing smaller amounts of silver, possibly multiple times?

Sonvil.3670:

Deathwing.

It’s like fantasy games nowadays have 2 types of Villains, undead kings and dragons. I do hope they conjure something a bit more interesting next time.

I hope you realise the whole idea of Elder Dragons came up in 2007, possibly as early as 2004? Making a switch now to “something a bit more interesting” would be very weird, to say the least.

Im afraid not. Those Dragons in the sky with him look like smaller models of Tequatl.

They only look small because they’re so far away. They’re actually the same size if you compare their size to the that of the airships.

Before November 15th, that’s for sure.

dangerhunt.2607:

I have never played WOW before, GW2 is my first MMO, I am just hoping that there is a bit more gear progression at the end game. I mean arena net already have gear progression in the game from level 1-80, would be nice for them to make gears more layers before hitting the eventual max stats.

There is already gear progression at lvl 80. Most people who reach level 80 will have mostly blue/green armor, perhaps with 1 or 2 Rares. So yeah, progression to exotics. More than enough, imo.

Eat 150 candy corn. Either:
Cost: 7,5s when buying corns from TP;
or Time: 1 hour of farming.

Finish clocktower. Time: 2 minutes.

150 Candy Corns should reward atleast 100 points.

Why does everyone fight through the trash mobs?

Seriously, grab a bow, shot a few arrows through that stupid pumpkin and he will teleport up to the starting platform.

No, this game will never be Pay to Play.

But there will be paid expansions. Whether or not you can buy these with gems is still unknown.

I dont mind the cash shop – even though it is rather “rich!” to ask people to buy in game items after allready buying the game!

They do realise free updates though, like the Halloween update. They need to make money too. Asking money for optional stuff is the best way to do this.

Psilocin.1435:

That’s just like your opinion man.

You’re out of your element Psilocin.

@Waar Kijk Je Naar
Lebowski fail…..for shame…

Sorry, what?

Medium armors are ugly for Thieves too. It’s just longcoats… I really hope they add more variety.

Psilocin.1435:

That’s just like your opinion man.

It looks like solid advice to me.

Greatswords are definitely overrated.

Why do people use them? Skins.

Hammers are much better, but all except 1 or 2 skins are small/ugly. Same with Axes. Deals much more damage than GS, yet the only skin that looks cool is “Reaver of the Mists”. If you want 2 of those, it will cost you about 900 ecto’s, 100 Mystic Coins and 100 skillpoints.

Better grab a Greatsword and suddenly you have a whole array of cool and cheap skins.

2 runs. Got a bunch of greens and 1 recipe worth 60s.

Laugh! Laugh now, or die!

Lewis Burnell.2493:

5. Crafting gear is excellent especially the Orichalcum jewellery.

Plus you can craft exotic gear with stats that are not available on the karma armors.

Keep it like this, Anet. The game is much more visually pleasing when zoomed out a bit more, and all these skills effects don’t fill up my screen anymore.

+1

PvP tab is standalone now

Boo! This game definitely doesn’t have enough Quaggans. Foo!

What this game needs is more Quaggans. OOOOOH nice idea! OoooOOooo Quaggan likes this idea! Coo!

Player B’s.

Stats of the finisher are used, not those of the initiator.

Really disappointing. A boring 30-second cutscene of our glorious king having grown to 20 times his normal size….. I thought it would be a cool one-time only something. Event, costume, item, mini, whatever. This wasn’t even worth my time.

There’s no alchemists in this game.

Also you get the mystery tonics by opening Black Lion Chests. 3 tonics each.

Dark Marrek.3180:

Its possible to get ALL of the books with even a level 1 character .

Yeah but it’s annoying to keep the tutorial reward window open for the whole time. Better accept it and get all the books as level 2.

I don’t think they’ve said anything about this yet.

Mad Memories probably won’t be obtainable anymore, atleast not this year.

Clock Tower and Pumpkin carver DO NOT count towards the Emissary of the Mad King title.

You do NOT need to them if you’re just after the title.

Sithaco.4673:

Q: Will there be stuff in this ‘one time’ event that will go towards our EotMK title?

“Attend the party”

So yeah, if you miss it, no EotMK either.

Better jump right when the lightning hits.

Don’t worry about the chest. 2 bad greenies worth 2s each and an exotic piece with bad stats that can’t be salvaged or sold.

Giving everyone the same appearance would only make it worse. They don’t have trouble seeing where they are, but they will have trouble seeing WHO they are.

Smallest posssible human female warrior, no speed boost

Another video, helped me a lot. There’s lots of spots where you only have to jump once instead of twice, saving you lots of time. Find these spots and use them.

Xenite.7418:

Sadly many MMO’s give an advantage to mouse over keyboard. Like the turn rate being slower… why? No apparent reason whatsoever, just bad design.

Why? Because 99% of players use a mouse + keyboard, and use their mouse to turn.

Yes it’s kitteny for OP and other people like him, and I think I should Anet give them a chance, but giving an “advantage” to people who use a mouse is not without reason.

^disregard this.

Go into ANY haunted door, and talk to the Boatmaster.

About 500 hours in. Will post exact time when I get home.

I’m gone between 7:00 and 18:30 every day, except weekends. Ha I guess that makes it very clear when I play.

Wrong subforum

edit: nice move, mods.
