Guild Wars 2

People have been asking for them to be unbound pretty much since they were introduced. A lot of people simply aren’t interested in crafting to 500 and making ascended stuff and have stupid amounts of useless mats taking up space. There’s really no alternative but to destroy it, which sucks because there’s loads of people who could actually use it. Even if they were unsellable, but tradeable it would be nice. I’d MUCH rather just give them to somebody who will put them to good use rather than just outright destroy them. Don’t have much choice though, because they are starting to become unwelcome and are wasting my storage. I’m going to be forced to destroy them all before too much longer.

I wish I had 3k gold to blow. Heck, I wish I even had 1k gold period.

LA is the easiest city to get to, since you can go there free (go to the heart of the mists, then walk thru the portal). Heading to any other city quickly requires paying the waypoint costs. That’s probably why LA is the most crowded and the other cities are not.

WP costs don’t exactly break the bank. Even people I know with 30s to their name still are too lazy to go the WvW/Mists, then take the portal to LA. LA is presented as a central hub, not affiliated with any race. That’s why it’s the most overcrowded. Kind of the unofficial capital of Tyria.

I know the “you have joined too many groups recently” bug is known, but it is getting aggravating. I haven’t been able to do hardly any dungeons. Works sometimes at least v_v

I got spoiled by getting a ticket and didn’t realize what it was until I looked it up. Now all I can think about is getting the Aether pistol. Of course, the past 6-7 chests I’ve actually gotten keys for (through story and a few on map completion), I didn’t even get 1 scrap. I’m NEVER going to get the 5 tickets I need, mainly because they’re just too rare and the chests I have opened only drop elixirs and boosters anymore. Sometimes I just wish I hadn’t even gotten the one I have.

It dawned on me after making the topic they didn’t count because they counted as Risen instead of Giants. I think the biggest problem is there needs to be more giants available that are veteran, rather than 99% of them being champs. Soloing isn’t always that hard, like someone said stay ranged and dodge, it just kills so much play time and ultimately isn’t worth it to spend nearly 10 minutes just to get one kill.

I think what bugs me the most is simply knowing that is one achievement that is simply never going to happen. Not because I’m unwilling to try for it, but because it would take just way too God awful long to complete.

I’ll start by saying I’m currently sitting at 4 giants killed, since launch. Practically all of them are champs with huge moves that pretty much kill any solo attempts if you get hit by just one, to say nothing of their HP pool. And no one else ever seems to be around when they pop. I killed 4 veteran Risen Giants while travelling Orr and thought I had an awesome epiphany. Veteran Giants! Then I checked my achievement progress and was still at 4/10. Did I miss why they don’t count a long time ago? This is really the only slayer achievement that is positively out of the question. I know there’s a train you can form and server jump to fight a veteran (living) giant that spawns in an event, but I’m not doing that. That seems like a waste of playtime and checking online about it it didn’t seem terribly efficient. I’ve gotten most of the others by simply doing event/champ trains and travelling the world. I’ve rarely had to actually “farm” to complete achievements, and don’t really want to have to start now.

That’s a looooot of kitten work finding unique moves for each class for every weapon. Still I’m not opposed. Would make getting 5k kills a little easier for the weapons. Except warhorn and focus. I’m still not even going to pretend I’m ever going to get anywhere near 5k.

Keys need to be more available. They simply aren’t worth the price, and that is cold hard fact. Back at launch, the chests dropped like crazy. Of those crazy chest drop rate, I have about 80 that I’ve kept for over a year because of lack of keys. The chest drop rate is pretty low now, but the keys are non existent in the world. Have they officially been removed from drops, because I don’t think I’ve gotten one of a drop in, well, probably a year. Again, back at launch, I would get a key, maybe even two every couple of days, maybe even 1 a day if I was lucky.

The day they get rid of or otherwise limit active dodging is the day I stop playing. With past MMO’s where dodge was a passive stat, actively being able to dodge at will has been unbelievably awesome. Squishier classes need that vigor to stay alive.

Obvious troll thread. People who complain about stuff like this just want to see everyone’s reactions. If it is for real, then just do everyone a favor and stop playing. It’s obvious the game is boring you with its “trivial” PvE content.

Back at launch I was able to do all the dungeons at level. These days though people just want to get them done. Just going to have to start your own group. I’m almost ready for Arah, but it seems like EVERY group in the queue is for sale. I’m not paying gold to do a dungeon, so I’ll be starting my own group.

Can you Mystic Forge them, or does it just give you something soulbound back? I have 2 superiors that I was thinking of trying in the forge rather than just sell for 2s or destroy.

That’s almost as bad as instance owners who leave as soon as they get their chests at the end. I’ve lost out on CoF 1 boss loot AND the final chest several times because the cut scene is so short and I don’t always remember to get into position when the boss is almost dead. It’s stupid I have to worry about changing position just for that.

That’s the problem with dungeons. There are no lower level dungeons, only level 80 dungeons. Sadly, people just want to get them done, so stacking/exploits and 80 only is the norm anymore.

Here’s what you do. I also wasted because it wasn’t spelled out enough for me. I bought a Dreamaxe when I already had a chop it all. Go to a Black Lion weapon merchant, the same one where you turn in tickets to get whatever living story weapon is currently live. they are above the TP guys in Lion’s Arch. You can trade your soulbound version and turn it into an account bound version. Just unequip them and find the proper tab, and boom, those are account bound. Then open a ticket advising you have extra infinite tools and they’ll tell you what to do. They’ll tell you to delete any extra tools for which you would like a gem refund, and once they see it is deleted gems will be sent to your account in game. Do NOT delete before you start the ticket process and they contact you, just to be sure. I got a refund on a extra molten pick I had and the chop it all I had prior to buying the Dream cleaver. Also the skin stays the same, so if you convert a chop it all, it doesn’t become a dream cleaver, it stays an account bound chop it all.

Contested does stink. I don’t mind guesting to where it is open, but sometimes nobody has story done, so guesting is pointless. If anything were to change with dungeons, I’d like to see story mode become account bound if at all possible. People with more than 2-3 characters don’t want to do story on every one of them, because let’s face it, doing story for the actual story is only cool the first time, and you get nothing from story to make it worthwhile to repeat. I enjoyed them all the first time through, but it’s just tedious to have to do it on every character. And most players have the max limit on characters, not just 1 or 2.

You guys are right about the dust. If I have almost 10 stacks of 250, so does everyone else not interested in crafting ascended who hasn’t deleted them yet. If they did become unbound the market would be stupidly overflowed with dust and they’d be worthless. Guess I’ll hang onto the ore and emps just in case. Only have 1 stack of 250 each. Not taking up too much room.

This is not another thread begging to make them unbound. I would just like to maybe get some clarification there aren’t plans to unbind them. I just have way too many ascended mats and I’m tired of them wasting my space. Ascended crafting/items simply aren’t for me. The only problem I have that is keeping me from destroying right now is if they eventually become unbound and sell-able that sets up a huge potential loss. So, any plans at all for the future of ascended mats and making them unbound?

This is a stretch is probably sounds like I’m an idiot and will be the stupidest thing anyone has ever said about this game, but how would a WP to the top of the tower sound on the last few days of the event. There’s never anyone in there anymore, at least for me, so I can no longer ever get to the top to open the chest or do the instance. I’ve gotten pretty far in level 3 solo and almost made it, but the stuns and slows are killer and they get me every time. I know I’m just complaining and am being a noob and it would probably open up doors for abuse of mechanics, but I’m going to get locked out of some achievements just because I can’t get a group. Boo hoo, I know.

Azathoth.2098:

Artereis.1260:

I wish they’d at least talk to us about movement speed. I mean, our only on demand swiftness puts us in combat if anything happens to stumble through the curtain. The continued silence is really frustrating. Open a dialogue and let us know their side of things, at least.

I would love to have a signet like this:

Signet of Speed:
Passive: Grants 25% increase in movement speed.
Active: Teleports you in the direction you are moving. When standing still, you teleport backwards. Also breaks Stun.
35 sec CD. Range 900.

Are Mesmer’s and Guardians the only ones without a +25% speed signet? I know warriors don’t, but they can trait for +25% while carrying a melee weapon at least. I know the main arguments are always Mesmer’s can blink and tele here and there etc, but my God a +25% would be nice, especially since all the characters I play (4 total, including Mes) have the 25%, then when I do play my Mesmer I feel sooo slow getting around.

Or actual gold. Like 20-30 for completing the entire map I don’t think is too much. I can’t tell you how disappointed I was to see the only thing I got for completing 100% were two items to be used for Legendary crafting. Mainly because I don’t really have the desire to ever make a Legendary, but more importantly I just don’t really have the time. The actual money you make from getting all the hearts done is the only thing worth completing it for.

It’s the world we live in I’m afraid. It’s the nature of MMO’s. I will ask though, since there’s only 8 professions, why have more than one of the same?

Phoebe Ascension.8437:

It takes 20x more time these days to make then at launch, and that is not legit imo. I know people with 5 legendaries (and no dollar-gems help). When i ask ‘wth how?’. They answer ‘i fully focussed on this at launch’. They were right.

Ancient bone, launch, 1 silver. Now? 30 silver. 30x as hard. Crystal dust 4 silver, now 16 silver. List goes on and on.

With ascended weapons (and soon armor), and increase in t6 mat drop rate is required. But that’s just my view on it.

That’s a good point. These days some mats have ballooned into serious money. Look at unidentified dyes as well. They were only 2 silver for awhile, now they’re 30. What I wouldn’t give to be able to buy them for only a couple silver now. In those days you could create a new character, then buy 15-20 dyes to get them started on better colors.

Kenny Mack.2653:

why are we all still talking about this?

Legendaries were always supposed to be one of the hardest items to obtain. This means that in their very design, they were not intended to be wielded by every single player who wanted one! In a game based around vanity and cosmetics, it makes sense to have super rare items.

Yes it sucks to not be able to get one immediately if you really want it, but bear in mind that this game is 1 year old…if you want one, and you’re a fan of the game, you can keep playing for years, and eventually you might pop one. If not, start squirrelling away some gold and save for it. It is much easier to save the gold for a pre, as opposed to hoping one comes out of the mf.

Legendaries are rare…end of.

Honestly, they are not hard to get, just extremely time consuming. As they should be. It takes a long time for poorer players to gather up everything they need, and for some mats all the gold has to go towards those since the drop rates can be kitten. Aside from a few idiots, people aren’t asking precursors to be handed to to them for free. They’re asking for a certain degree of fairness. Super rich players are controlling the market and keeping prices way to high for the average person to buy one. People who simply don’t have the time or playstyle to save up that much gold are simply out of luck, because the MF RNG is possibly the worst RNG of any MMO anyone has ever played.

Legendaries aren’t/weren’t supposed to be rare per se, just an investment for the player to work towards. When people can’t get a precrusor, saying “just buy one” isn’t always an option for some players, and it’s not fair that that is what is holding them back.

I have the 2 keys in my possession I need to get the 5 openings of the chest achievement, but nobody runs the tower anymore. I’m stuck at the last golem staring into the 3rd level. I’ve tried to run it, but end up getting overrun before I can even get halfway. I just get that bummed feeling that I’m going to miss out on the achievement when I’ve collected/done everything I can but have to rely on non-existent groups for the final part. The same with the Krait witches. Nobody is doing those anymore. Can’t even get a single person to do the blood witch. You could always get people for that even in normal Kessex days.

More options for, and the ability to actually change, the accessory color has been asked for since shortly after launch. It would be great someday, but if it hasn’t happened yet if must be harder to implement than it sounds. Either that or they simply have bigger fish to fry.

So how do I do this? I have to exchange them? I have an extra pick I wouldn’t mind getting refunded. I also had a sickle on a toon I ended up deleting, but I’m guessing that one is just gone. Since mine still say souldbound I just need to figure out what to do before opening the ticket.

You have to use the jump pads to get it.

Isle of Janthir could use some help. Haven’t gotten past 80% and I’ve been on peak hours a couple times.

There’s people out there right now spending as little as possible and farming like fiends to make their legendaries (good luck) with sole intent to sell them. Suddenly making them account bound isn’t going to be fair to those people, when hundreds of other players have already sold their’s for major gold. Legendaries probably shouldn’t have been sellable from the start, but since they were changing it now just isn’t going to work because Anet doesn’t want that backlash for someone who FINALLY got their precursor and went to sell but couldn’t.

kiba.2768:

you know what would be great?

precursor = 250 vision crystals, 250 deldrimor ingots, 250 spiritwood planks, 250 charged quartz

…said no one ever. but then my laughter would turn into tears

Well, there will have to be some kind of weapon involved, but as for the other three, you probably aren’t too far off xD. People have been pretty happy about being able to craft precursors, but I expect the mats are going to be a pain in the kitten.

Last night in Queensdale people were legitimately freaking out and getting upset that their rotation of champ farming was getting screwed up. Sayings things like “why can’t people just wait” and “stop starting events early” etc, like other people’s playing revolved around a zerg’s schedule. People are out in the world doing their own thing, so people need to stop freaking out if their “rotation” gets messed up by someone starting an event “out of place.” That’s the point of this game. To kill stuff and complete events, not sit around and wait for “the zerg” to be ready before they can start it. People can do an event whenever they kitten well please, tl:dr I guess.

And no, I’m not trying to complain about champs. I think it’s great they’re actually worth it to kill now. But people need to wake up and get out of their “rotation,” because there’s other people playing who aren’t going to wait 5 minutes for a huge group to be ready and then be criticized for it. If someone kills something and screws up the plan, calm down and you can do it again in a little bit.

Dyes are extremely important to the economy, whether you want to believe it or not. Making them account bound would screw stuff up royally. I’m not saying I’m against it, but there would be significant monetary and economic repercussions if they went account wide. And no, I’m not a rich player involved in the dye market. I don’t even know how to flip. But I do know when I get a dye worth a couple gold that I don’t like or doesn’t look good on my outfit, selling it is really nice.

So I’ll probably try to get higher since I’m only at 25%. I might try to get 50-60, but then I’ll probably just go back to selling. The silver for greens did start to add up.

Those fiends. They can’t cover up the truth that Tonn was an Asura.

I suppose I can calm down a little bit. But honestly I don’t see what’s so hard about adding the monthlies that were removed back into the fold. It is what it is I guess. I was actually contemplating completing all the monthlies this month since most of them could be done very quickly, but now I’ll just do the 4 and probably leave it.

Where did I say the people who were already done shouldn’t get the new reward? I said they shouldn’t get the monthly reward again of laurels etc. Sure I sound petty and sour grapes etc, but if I hadn’t been a day away from finishing (needed 1 more daily completion and some champs) I wouldn’t be so upset.

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

Shiren.9532:

It’s because they changed the rewards. The old rewards had karma juggs, the new reward has karma juggs and I believe luck items (to boost your account MF). Players who completed their monthly early would have missed out on the new rewards.

Worst case scenario, a bunch of people (3 days into the month, not that many) will get a few extra achievement points and a few extra laurels.

In other words:
People who completed already get dubbel rewards
People who nearly completed get screwed over

Pretty much. Given the nature of the Clockwork event I’d say a large portion of players where able to get the dailies done, especially given the champ portion could be completed in 1-2 invasions depending on the spawns and amount of players. That and the crafting portion is super easy, as is the JP part. 10 laurels is a little more than a few more when they’re rewarded all at once like that.

I was almost done with the monthly until this reset, and I’m seeing lots of people who were done and are now at 2/4 again, meaning theoretically they will get the monthly reward again. Considering I don’t recall reading “anything” about monthlies resetting with the new patch, I’m a little peeved right now. The monthly is easy to do, that’s no biggy, but the fact that I was almost complete and log in and find the stuff I completed gone kind of upsets me. I’ve kind of just gone with the flow with most of the complaints with Anet and this game because it’s free and I hate to be picky, but this set me over.

This is BS dude, seriously. I know guys who finished it up last night, and now they say they’re at 2/4. So they get two monthly rewards??? I was like 20ish champs away from finishing it myself. Thanks for nothing.

This is the first time since starting this game that I’m legitimately kitten ed about something or with Anet.

I’ve always been attracted to warriors in these games. I feel like just a tough guy/girl who beats stuff up with weapons and doesn’t need any of that mana/magic horse manure. Same reason why most of my first alts are thief/rogue based classes. I’ve always been a melee guy. I just never was a good caster player in WoW, but I do enjoy my Mesmer in this game.

I’m not very good in WvW though. I mostly just use support stuff like knockdowns and banners and let my guildies do the killing xD.

Tom Gore.4035:

Woljnir.7810:

I’ve made more gold the past 2 weeks than I’ve ever made in my life. Grinding wasn’t exactly fun, but I enjoyed the event.

Listen to yourself? It wasn’t fun buy you enjoyed it?

Don’t you mean that you enjoyed the loot despite of the fact that getting it wasn’t fun?

That’s a really dangerous road we’re being lead into.

No, I enjoyed the event overall, not just the invasions. The playhouse, the pavilion, all of it. Overall it was fun. When it got grindy I stopped playing it. Did 1-2 invasions a day and still got lots of treasure.

derekshreds.5394:

lets make an event nobody can participate in. that’s super cool and fun

If by “nobody” you mean everybody, then yes. The disconnecting group was a minority. I’m not saying because I never disconnected once it didn’t happen often, but this was a zerg event. Was it probably the best implemented event they’ve done? Probably not, but it got people out in the world again. It certainly wasn’t for everybody.

Not making fun of you since it appears English isn’t your first language, but no idea what you’re talking about.

This is never going to happen. Give it up people. There’s 5 topics a day about this.

Check the tabs on the TP, like the “what I’m buying” etc. I can’t remember what it says even thought I’ve done it a million times xD. A lot of times missing gold can be attributed to buy orders that got borked up by glitches or whatnot. I know I lost a few gold once and then found it the next day in a buy order. I cancelled it and got it back.

Another day, another “make the infinite tools account bound” topic. Simply not going to happen. The salvage kit still charges the player money and the math shows in the end it’s not even worth it to buy it. Anet isn’t going to completely cut out the tools by allowing people to just pass the infinites from alt to alt because that would be game changing. If people want to spend 100 bucks to outfit all their alts, that’s on them.

I’ve made more gold the past 2 weeks than I’ve ever made in my life. Grinding wasn’t exactly fun, but I enjoyed the event.

Risingashes.8694:

@dcypher.2590

If you join the map any time during the first ten minutes of every hour the overflow you’re on will always be running the event.

The only time you’ll ever join an overflow without the event is when you join after the first ten minutes of the hour.

This is to stop people waiting until 30 minutes in to the hour and then hopping on to an ongoing event, effectively creating a complete lack of participants until that time resulting in every single event failing due to freeloaders.

This is all you need to know. Sorry you got screwed out of this event. I don’t necessarily have much play time myself, but I got everything done I wanted. Poor implementation or not, the rules are pretty clear. It’s certainly not Anet’s fault you weren’t able to be playing on the hour.
