Just another ‘legendary’ whine thread.

If you think those are rare have you found “Final Rest” yet?

There are a number of ‘named exotics’ that have yet to find their way to the TP. There’s a few threads dedicated to “Final Rest” alone.

Long term = greater than 18 months.

Probably bugged… lol

Actually at different points in the game I’ve had a “Lover” and “Final Rest” in my inventory. Not knowing the value/rare ether item was (and were useless for my toon) they got scrapped. (can I blame to much fun in the 60/70’s for not remembering where it dropped?)

Rare/Unique = “ultra scarcity” – I think its WAY cool.

No, you haven’t had a Final Rest in your inventory because it hasn’t been looted. If you are going to try to make a point, a blatant lie gets you nowhere.

LOL – Then they should have removed it from the vendor like any other “normal” company. They just continue to prove how terrible they are.

I think a better example is why does it cost 40 silver to change your crafting professions when you want to make something but it only cost 3 silver to respec your entire character build.

For those of you that like to throw “other games” in there, respeccing your character is very expensive in most games. Let’s just bring that over here as well as a gold sink.

Sorry, I agree with the OP. I spent the time and money to level the craft, I shouldn’t pay every time I want to use a crafting class that isn’t one of the two I have open at the time.

Eksoz Ethe.9871:

It finally happened, i refuse to play with some guildies as from today. The reason?
Loot, plain and simple. There is one guy, 900 hours clocked, who has 4 precursors already, exotic after exotic, lodestone after lodestone, ring after ring in dungeons
and fractals while other people got absolutely nothing with 400+ hours more
clocked. And to top it of i heared this rumor that karkashells en powerfull blood droprate will be decreased. So, some people get their legendary thrown at them while other people have to farm / grind themselves into oblivion to get the same thing. And no, it’s got nothing to do with luck..a one or two week luckstreak, thats luck. But this has been going on for , well, since the start of the game. I know they are only virtual rewards but extremely frustrating nevertheless.

I hope a dev will respond to this frustrating ( not only for me but for dozens of others in my guild as well) topic.

Regards,

Don

One of my friends/guildies is like that as well. It’s not their fault the RNG works for them so really taking it out on them is quite silly. It wouldn’t be them I would stop playing with, it would be the game itself. Even the one getting the loot feels the same way.

Dante.1508:

I have since leveled From Black Citadel to Gendarren Fields, i have seen multiple broken Dynamic Events in every map, could be upwards of 50% of them maybe less, they still have not been fixed…

Class Balance fixes are still insanely out Thieves in wvw still run rampant, warriors in dungeons need no one else and Engineer is still broken kitten (sorry Engi it is) Rangers are ho hum in wvw (i still cannot permanently stow or remove my Pets), Necos are terrible and both their pets still stink etc…

Culling in WvW/PvE issues

Latency issues and Disconnects (not completely Anets fault but still there)

The loot issues in open world, and forced game play of Dungeons and Fotm to gain anything worth using to me is a bug..

Over dependance on the Trading post to get what you need to have fun in the game..

Cash shop items Bugging out and laurels taking months to acquire anything worth using and the ranger pack is bugged..

I have no trouble understanding why the OP’s friends left.

More than 50% of events aren’t bugged, unless your server sucks a whole lot more badly than mine. MAYBE 10% are bugged. Exaggerating doesn’t make you righter.

Part of the problems with forums everywhere is people use hyperbole and exaggerate to make their points and this makes their entire argument circumspect.

Sure there are bugged events, but in no zone are half the events bugged, though in Orr at launch it might have been close.

The problem is you haven’t sat there and counted every zone event and then counted the broken ones.

There are dozens of events in each zone. I doubt more than a dozen of them are broken at any time. In fact, I doubt more than 2 or 3 are broken at any time.

Complaining about something legitimate is fair game. Exaggerating the situation, however, makes people question everything else you’re saying.

The fact that ANY events are broken is pathetic. The game has been out long enough to fix the content currently in the game. The only people bashing the OP are fanbois and people that are willing to accept mediocrity.

Just about everyone I play with is on the fence about staying/leaving as well. It’s a very unrewarding time sink that has become much less fun week after week.

VOTF get my vote. Tsym would be right up there as well.

Red Guard demolished VOTF when they came over for a week to have some fun on NA servers. I have yet to see any guild nearly as coordinated as them with the same numbers..

Because winning gvg is all that matters right? Red guard are the best at what they do, but what they do is only small aspect of wvw. It’s the total package that counts. Don’t get me wrong I have nothing but respect for RG and I do consider them to be a great guild. Just not the greatest.

I agree with this. If we will talk about “best WvW guild” we need to evaluate so many aspects like how they fight, roam, attack, defend, siege placement, personal skills, etc.

Not sure where you see the word “best” in the title. The “best” WvW guild would be the one with the largest zerg.

You seem defensive. The thread asked for the most powerful guild. That would be Red Guard in any even fight. I don’t think the thread is asking for who takes keeps the best, who kill dolyaks the best, who defends well, etc. It asked for most powerful guild.

You want to talk zerg guilds, total package, feel free. I’d put Red Guard up against anyone else I have ever fought in T1.

I love getting greys out of those chests. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Jason King.2647:

If you’re not receiving loot from a champ/vet, it’s most likely because you’re not getting kill credit.

I’m sorry but this just isn’t an acceptable answer and quite frankly it smells like BS to me. How do you not get kill credit soloing a champ?

TsukasaHiiragi.9730:

I’ve killed many vets and champions without any loot, vets I can somewhat understand. But champions? I killed one last night solo and didn’t even get anything.

As for other loot, DR is again ~ forcing me to quit the game. Just did a fotm 10 daily, and got…1 molten core. Probably earned <1g for the entire run – simply amazing really, and not in a good way.

DR is pushing many away. Did a 17 and 18 last night and got 1 yellow shoulder (no ectos after breaking) for the entire time. I’ve pretty much had it at this point.

ParaldaWind.4523:

Sorry, but, is someone from Sea of Sorrows claiming to be “undermanned”?

Wow.

Go read our T1 thread. You’ll see it quite often. It’s actually laughable after how long they dominated T1. Of course, they will tell you they did it with “skill”.

Nice score JQ
Congrats on the 1st place
:)

Says that guy that has jumped to every server to try to be in first. I’m sure it’s no coincidence that you were on SoS less then a month ago when they were winning all the time. Then you happened to be on JQ while they were winning.

I bet if we had a way of checking it would show you joined SoR around the end of last weekend when we were ahead in points. Please do us all a favor and go back to JQ sooner rather then later.

We don’t want him. Maybe he can go to Sorrow’s Furnace. Cheap transfer fee and they blow out their tier.

I agree. This fractal is extremely easy but extremely annoying. You can’t watch the harpy and the ground at the same time. Let’s not even get into the harpies that drop a circle that you can’t even shoot yet.

The circle is too big for most platforms. I only get knocked off a few times and that’s when I just used stability and don’t see another circle. Make the circle itself red and not just the outline and it would be no issue.

kefro.9312:

This is the kind of kids that made me transfer..

The only one being childish as far as I can see is you. Your post history makes interesting reading.

Your current server must be very pleased to have you given what a great example you set for all on the forums……

LOL – I just read his post history. It’s the funniest thing I have read in quite some time on a forum. This guys been everywhere. Too bad he can’t leave now without paying.

I’ll sum it up for everyone else:

He’s pro. His servers are always pro. Everyone else is a noob, mindless zerg with no skill who will transfer to his server after his server beats them.

That covers the first 3 pages of his post history.

LordByron.8369:

4) if someone dies stop attacking boss and who has aggro tank him while the Others ress.

This is really the only useful thing anyone can tell you. If anyone goes down, make sure they are up as fast as possible. You want everyone up before the lava elementals and the shield pop.

Once the shield and elementals appear, kill the shield asap and ignore the shaman until all the elementals are dead.

Saulius.8430:

so… uhm. why do you want those safety nets? it’s more fun to see someone get crisped

I agree. It’s a good laugh and even with people getting knocked in, we’ve never failed this boss.

Giving him a rework would be a shame. It’s a fun fight and gives us a good laugh if one of us manages (by our own fault) to get knocked into the lava.

people need to stop asking for things to be easier and work on your own positioning. Pay attention to the fight and this wouldn’t happen.

SoliSnake.9457:

cof path 2 hard? are you kidding? you prefer run like a rabbit for kite mob, die and run back?
bah

This.

I actually had to read the responses to make sure you were even talking about the correct dungeon. If CoF is too hard for you, I’m not really sure what to say. God help you in Arah.

Sky.7610:

If this game was subscription based, would you be willing to pay to play this game monthly? Why or why not?

Do you think GW2 would have flopped if it was launched as a subscription game?

This game isn’t worth a subscription. The amount of bugs/glitches/exploits is astounding. No, I wouldn’t have even thought about this game if it has a sub.

Yes, it would have flopped by now if it had a sub. You cannot have the terrible service this game has and release broken content after broken content. Look at the more recent games to do that…they are all free to play now.

Porky.5021:

VOLKON.1290:

Let’s face it… when Friday night rolled around and things reset there was apparently a coordinated 2 on 1 effort against JQ.

I can’t believe that this far into a 1v1v1 setup, people still complain about 2v1’s and see conspiracies everywhere.

They happen to every server. There is no coordinated effort…it just happens sometimes. It’s the nature of a 1v1v1 setup.

I’m surprised some of you have not learned how 1v1v1’s work by now.

He’s not complaining about a 2v1, read the post before commenting. He’s saying that JQ doesn’t give up regardless of 2v1, outmanned, less skill, whatever you want to call it over the last 3 months.

In the last 2 weeks SoS has fallen apart. The forum PvP is much stronger than the in game PvP. Are you the underdog now? Sure. SoR is a stronger server than you. I would also state BG is probably stronger. They had the least coverage of all and were very competitive. SoS has shown they cannot handle not winning. It’s quite sad to see.

Why not work at improvement like every server in the past had to do against you.

Magiofdeath.2745:

I’ve been enjoying TC – they are a very competent and great community (they aren’t super strange like most games’ RP communities). I am enjoying this matchup a lot. Overall, aside from the times I ran with HzH on JQ, I am enjoying tier 2 more than tier 1. Being on my guild’s server helps a lot with that too, even if we don’t wvw all that often.

I’m the opposite. I came from TC to JQ a couple months back. I thought the RPers were funny but just too many of them for me They do have a respectful community.

I think JQ has an awesome community and quite frankly a (usually) very friendly WvW atmosphere. The commanders, for the most part, are top notch.

Magiofdeath.2745:

Ohai still trolling? Not surprised. You could always switch to another server, Ohai, if you want a ‘challenge’.

In before “your matchup thread is that way —-—->”. And to that I would say what pot said “This is a public forum etc”.

Yes, he started back up once JQ took the lead.

On a side note, I thought you guys would pass TC this week but it looks like they are still very competitive and strong.

I didn’t really read the whole post but I wanted to answer your thread title question.

The answer is: No Clue

MarMaster.6241:

Ohai.8346:

spartanx.1364:

I will say this though SoS’s presence on EB seems scared to attack JQ. I am NOT playing the we are getting 2v1 card, I just wish SoS pressured JQ more so we could get them off our lawn.

Right from the reset SoR were all over SoS towers, and every time we took SM you were all over ogrewatch etc. What do you think we are going to do when you take SM?
T1 WvW is very broken and lopsided right now though and most of us are not playing it aside from scheduled nights with guilds as its pointless fighting uphill battles trying to keep PPT against a server with 4x your numbers, so JQ can enjoy the boredom & wins at the expense of fun, and when there are forces to fight expect to be rolled as usual.
Still very upset they stacked like that and took all the competitiveness out of t1 scoreboard game when it was obviously very very tight after their first 2 big guilds joined.

Facts:
2012 Week 47, SoS makes it to T1, Wins
Including this week, SoS wins 9 times in 12 weeks. Including 6 in a row.

JQ won 3 times of 12. Including 2 in a row.

Yep, JQ took the competitiveness out of T1, the sky is falling, we are all doomed, etc.

Don’t waste your breath responding to him. He’s the biggest troll in the T1 threads. Notice his mouth was shut until JQ took the lead.

The system is fine the way it is. The stupid commanders will have nobody following them and eventually turn it off.

Jahn.7019:

So in fact, it is you who has no idea what you are talking about. Except for the fact that you admit you have an overpopulated server. At least you are admitting it now.

All tier 1 servers are overpopulated. Get off your high horse.

Snowreap.5174:

The point of making the old tier 1 servers prove again that they deserve to be there is this: large numbers of last-minute transfers have called the old rankings into question.

Is JQ still deserving of being in tier 1? It depends on how many people transferred in, and how many transferred out while free transfers were in place. Knowing that the answer is probably going to turn out to be “yes” doesn’t change the fact that the question needed to be asked.

And for some of the other servers, the answer is going to turn out to be “no”. There are servers that need to be pushed to a lower tier because they’ve lost a lot of population (like HoD and IoJ), and servers that need to be pushed to a higher tier because they’ve gained a lot (Kaineng). The old ratings are slowing this process down, making it take longer than it should for these servers to settle into their new positions.

Personally, I think this rating reset was a bad idea, but I can understand why it was done even if I don’t agree with it.

-ken

I hate to burst your bubble, but there is no reason at all any of the T1 servers should move. There is only 1 other server that can make a claim to T1 at this point and that is BG.

Kaineng should need to prove themselves in T2 before a shot at T1 and no other server would even come close. Any of these servers blowing out their current tier would get absolutely smashed in T1.

Like I said earlier, a full reset was not needed. This could have been manually done and been much closer than these new rating will be. However, still not knowing exactly what may happen with the ratings, all of this might be worthless speculation.

kefro.9312:

On weekend JQ was losing bad cause the numbers were just the same, but at week time they drop queues from 5h to 1h but still a queue and full map wile the other servers can’t keep up… so is it fun having numbers, queues and not skills?

This post is so ridiculous I don’t even know where to start. I play on JQ and in NA prime time. I sat in queue for no more than 10 minutes any point his week. 5 hours? LOL. Troll more.

As to your weekend post, not everyone likes to sit on the computer all weekend long. The weekend is also the largest population of part time WvW players and casual player, not that that is bad. Everyone should come have some fun.

Matches are 7 days for a reason. I’m sorry you are so kitten about where JQ may end up, but I can tell you we feel the same. Do you really think we want to play (as it stands right now if the match doesn’t change) 2 servers that are currently in T5? That’s no fun for us either.

We would much rather play servers like SoS, SoR, and BG. I’m not a fan of the reset, but it is what it is. Stop crying about things you cannot control and just go have fun.

EasymodeX.4062:

Now, about those kittening bullkitten queues. God kittening kitten I haven’t been able to get into WvW for the past week because I don’t have 3 hours to sit in a kitten queue without ADHD’ing and playing something else. FEEL THE RAGE OF A THOUSAND QUEUED SUNS.

Try entering the queue from an outdoor map. NA primetime on JQ I never spent more than 10 minutes in queue any night this week around 6:00 pm Central to get into EB. My guildies joined from LA and were there for over an hour. They changed maps, re-entered the queue from malchor’s leap and were in within 15 minutes.

zombieCHAS.7193:

Bring on all challengers! Except JQ, their forces are everywhere now and its become sickening. A playfull fun kind of sickening though

Come on now

SoR was a blast to play against.

Warlord.9074:

I’m not going to get mad or bitter, I will just quit.

We don’t care about winning or losing

I just picked out the parts of your nonsense whine post that contradicted themselves. You, most certainly, care about winning. You would rather quit than just play to have fun.

It’s amazing that none of these posts appeared in the first 15 pages while JQ was not in first place. The moment they took the lead, all the whiners and trolls came out in force to complain about the coverage and recruitment, etc.

Do everyone a favor, just leave now. Your server would be better off without people like you who would quit at the drop of a hat because you aren’t winning.

Back to actual WvW related topics – I would love to see the new SoR fight BG. I believe SoR has the upper hand now. It’s too bad that the 4 top servers probably won’t play each other for a few weeks unless they finally decide to reveal this mythical new math they came up with.

From what I have read, wine will upconvert anything, but the cost is not worth it. Charged lodestones remain out of reach for the casual player.

well anything that uses many charged lodestones shouldn’t be in reach of the casual player.

That’s bull kitten. It may take me much longer to level up a character, explore the world, tour the dungeons, etc…, but attaining any one ingredient should not be as hard as it is. RNG should NOT decide who get’s a Legendary.

Precursors would like to have a word with you…

Miku Lawrence.6329:

Thanks for your answer but “a couple of gold” is not really reliable… Bump, still looking for a solid answer.

If there was such a mythical place, nobody on here would say anything. Any time there is anything posted on fast money it’s nerfed into the ground.

Wotah.2975:

CharlieWaffles.1509:

yeah its been reduced to 70… It destroyed our NA coverage over the reset… There were so many new pugs in the BL’s on JQ that you didn’t recognize over half of the people… Guilds like EMP PRX AOS who were manning different zones who had over 100 people online each at reset night were lucky to get 20 or 30 people into the BG’s it was like that all weekend…. Friday through Sunday was a mess… suprised it was as close as it was… Most servers dont deal with the population like it is on JQ. i.e.150 people queing for 70 spots jq seems to have 400+ queing for the same 70 spots… But it gets like that every weekend… Generally by Sunday Night JQ starts to get going a bit… Having FOO helps allot…

Just saying its hard for everyone to have an organized fight when its a hodgepodge of people doing their own thing.

I am not sure if you’re new to the server or what, but that’s what has kept JQ being where it has been since the game began. The larger guilds have no more right to be there than all the others. Work with what you have and hope for the best. I mean hey, it’s everyone’s $15 a month…

This is why most JQ’s commanders have a good following and are respected by the community. PuG’s will always be a factor in WvW. how you choose to treat them and interact with them can mean the difference between winning and losing. Many people are willing to learn, our commanders are willing to teach.

CharlieWaffles.1509:

WVW is a sprint not a marathon… It always has been in Guild Wars 2 right or wrong… The end reward is the medal count for the server at the END of the week not the beginning….

Don’t you mean it’s a marathon and not a sprint?

Brennus.1435:

I really don’t have a problem with a competent thief at all.

This is the problem. I’m amazed at how many aren’t competent at all. I’ve had so many bad thieves in parties that we may as well just have 4 manned it. Now I won’t even take the chance with them.

LOL thieves. Stay in WvW where you belong. Even very good thieves that I party with switch to a different class when we run dungeons.

MaLeVoLenT.8129:

I’m just going to start playing to kill people and hope I don’t get burnt out.

This is what you should already be doing. if you are playing for the scoreboard you will find yourself leaving the game. Enjoy the fighting for what it is. It’s a game. The minute you become so wrapped up in scoreboard and become stressed over it is the moment you need to walk away and get a grip on things that really matter.

Going for Twilight.

Have everything but precursor for months. Refuse to buy it.

There’s no reason to have a thief at all. Every class can do something they can but better, except stealth. Not really a big need for that in any dungeon. Thief = WvW, sorry but that’s all they shine at.

Kicking before the final chest is bannable. File a report.

CrimsonNeonite.1048:

Got to agree with this I’m losing my enthusiasm these days, everyday I see people complaining when they lose a ‘battle’ especially against a big group that also use mass stealth, not just because of the recent culling update.
I end up having to mash every button especially tab but the only problem is I end up targeting their pets instead, not too different to whack-a-mole perhaps. :p

Already lost the enthusiasm. Took the weekend off for the most part. Have no desire to play with this horrible issue. Probably will be gone for good if it continues this week. Plenty of other things I can do with my time.

Loving T1 So Far Awesome Fights in EB…. FoE and PRX Top Notch fights best in… well ever I think. Hell that last fight with PRX was so intense I crashed. I dont know if I can take not having these fights after the reset.

Yeah we at FoE had some great fights against Choo, you guys certainly put numbers out! lol Also had great fun wiping 1.5x the PRX numbers until they started running away and calling in the whole map every time they saw us rollseyes

LOL – I think you have that backwards, troll.

Once again, they made the wrong change. The fractals should have still scaled but in brackets. 1-9, 10-19, 20-29, etc. I run with 4 regular and we used to grab a 5th if one of our other friends weren’t on. Now, there is no chance I will take a random pug because you just have no clue what they may be on or what their experience may be.

EnterRehab.3268:

Scoobaniec.9561:

Personally i still dont know why they dont gave us soulbound precurson for 100 laurents in vendor. Thinking must hurts anyway. Everyone would be happy…ok except ppl controlling precuson market.

Because:

1 daily = 1 laurel
1 monthly = 10 laurel

assuming 365 days a year, and 12 months, of course.

12 X 10 = 120
365 * 1 = 365
————————-
485 laurels in 1 year.

I think that nearly 5 precursors per person who does the daily and monthly MIGHT flood the market just a tad more than they would want.

Who cares if they flood the market…after all, they are only a skin, right?

I love the logic most of you people have. Works one way but not the other. The person doing their daily every day and monthly every month has probably put much more time into the legendary than some schmuck who; 1) got lucky in the MF, 2) Got lucky in the karka event, 3) exploited the early days of broken karma gear for precursors.

Artificially increasing the amount of time someone needs to play to accomplish a goal will only lead to lost customers. Frankly, if I didn’t enjoy WvW, I’d be long gone.

In this instance, if someone were to leave the game because they weren’t able to do the Monthly Achievement in a day or two, I’d say good riddance. That’s the kind of short-attention-span having, instant-gratification-demanding kiddo (mentally, not chronologically) who’s just going to bail the moment the next “oooooh, shiny” game is released anyway. So let’s go ahead and get rid of him so worthwhile feedback isn’t cluttered with his incessant whining.

This isn’t about the monthly only. It’s about everything in this game. Everything the game has for an endgame is stretched out to appear like there is content. The only area of this game that is worth playing at the moment is WvW.

Why do you care if someone can complete their monthly in 2 days? Does it bother you that someone is a better player that you need to use such overused insults as attention starved kid or instant gratification kid? I’m not saying they don’t exist, but so many of you goofs can’t actually have an individual thought so you resort to the same old insults.

Also, your mentality of “get rid of them now” has worked so well for the major releases lately. It’s amazing how most of those games have gone free to play with a fraction of the initial population. You can bet your rear that this game would have the same fate if it had a subscription.

Lazy design, terrible coding/testing, broken, bugged, glitched content…and this is over months, not days. This game won’t even come close to the life GW1 had.

That’s what guesting is for. They made it expensive so PUGs are less likely to leave their world when they face a real challenge in WvW.

i wanna join desolation so i can WvW with irl friends

Well your only option at this point is to pay the transfer fee.

Yeah but tbh i dont really wanna pay £25 just to change server, i mean seriously…..

You had plenty of time.

Artificially increasing the amount of time someone needs to play to accomplish a goal will only lead to lost customers. Frankly, if I didn’t enjoy WvW, I’d be long gone.

Grinding with diminishing returns is ridiculous.
Dungeons are easy, boring, repetitive.
Crafting is useless.

I’ll get a legendary if I ever get a precursor to drop. I won’t play the toilet lottery bullkitten and I have all the other pieces. I also refuse to pay someone 700+ gold when they probably got it through the godskull exploit.

WvW, which is not what I came to this game for, is actually the ONLY thing keeping me here and with the moronic decision to reset the tiers after it’s almost fixed might just be the end, depending on how it looks after the first week or two.
