That would lower the cost and give us a reason to salvage vs sell and the dust will set at 20s like ectos that doesnt seem too much, though rares will maybe increase to 35-40s. Or the other way around, ectos and dust at 10s each and rares at the same price. Maybe an average of the two.
Sounds a good idea to me and dust won’t feel unreachable like i’m feeling now.
Hello, I’m trying to buy gems at a certain price, but i can’t check everytime theirt price, i have to play too and the price is always on the move. Is there an api that makes a sound when the price falls under a certain value that you can set?
Their price is fixed at 10 euros per 800 gems, although you could try to find bargains online. Apart from a few deals bargains, the price hasn’t moved since launch.
Are you serious or what? Obviously I meant the gold gem exchange.

Topic^: I press on the log and the game crashes. Happens quite often and i always submit a report when back to windows. Then i get back in game and it works.
Not even one of those skins are worth the cost of those chests. If i dropped one ok, but I’m not going to spend gems on those, especially after hearing the low drop rate (someone didnt find any in 100+ chests)
First no achievement. Second i got 2 greens and 4 shells from the glorious chest, maybe the 2 rares in the daily were to compensate the kittenty loot. Third, after we killed it we captured all camps but the meta said 3/4 camps secured, BOH!
And all this beautiful event lasted 5 minutes.
Not to talk about the invulnerable reef riders during and after the event that are still there and the 10 veteran karkas that were camping the settlement preventing me from getting to the queen event (i managed to slip through after dying 3 times as everyone was already doing the event and noone wanted to kill these, sure i couldnt solo them).
Now, I think you got my point: fix the achievement, the meta and make it more friendly (tons of veteran karkas is a death sentence for every player that’s passing by)
Show your Dragon Bash spirit with these cool new weapon skins with a distinctly draconic look. You can find weapon tickets inside Rich Dragon Coffers and (rarely) in Dragon Coffers, and exchange them for weapon skins from Black Lion Weapon Specialists in every major city!
Does this mean we can buy these rich dragon coffers that has a ticket inside 100%? ANET explain better your things.
Dust should have been this price all along. It’s by far the most useful T6 so SHOULD be higher priced that the other.
Because it is the most useful T6 mat should drop more than othe T6 mats, not less. If at least it was farmable but it isn’t as of now. I don’t know what they were thinking. It’s like if they removed carparks from a zone of the city without building new carparks to compensate.
I want to make some transformation tonics but at these prices are unaffordable just to have some social fun. Can we have a dust fix, they are used all over the game for most of the end game recipes. Having it dropping less than any t6 mat is really hard to manage.
Same here mate, I also end up against those who just won against me and my pug group so we keep losing. As it is now the tpvp is just a more profitable part of normal spvp. I don’t want the ticket system again, but a fair matchmaking system, where pugs go against pugs and premades against premades would be a lot less frustrating, since premades have a high advantage over pugs and thats voice chat. They dont waste time typing and that can be a win factor against us.
Hi, i know that there is a champion phantom title from the tournaments, but those 200 matches won as a necromancver in spvp why shouldnìt they give a phantom title? I think it would be cool to have phantom and champion phantom so you can recognize the two levels of effort (same for other class titles). Can you tell me if it’s something you plan to add or not?
What’s the problem? If the downscaling works correctly you won’t feel OP in lower level zones anyway. Anyway in my opinion we need end game zones like gw1. I feel dumb killing easy enemies. We need an area filled with champions with a high chance of account bound loot (so the TP does not make it a joke to obtain) and with that buy prestige items.
Simple but really simple fix to this (i don’t know if it’s already been posted here) is to make story mode scale up with the number of players so it can be soloed and it would give people a nice thing to do while not feeling like playing with other players.
Hello, i have this huge problem, it happens only during boss fights and i swear i checked my ping with “resmon” (on windows) and the ping was fine. I’m sure it’s not on my end so it has to be some sort of bug. Everything stops moving abd after 10-15 sec i get kicked to the character select screen. Can you look in the issue. Most commonly it happens when starting boss fights in dungeons (happened 2 times before alpha today but quite a lot of dungeons gave me this problem).
WXP actions should be scaled based on how many friendlies are around you. 4 people (so 5 person team) is 100%. All the way up to nobody around you say 200% (only live players count, not NPCs).
Then in a zerg it could max out at say 49 other people around you with 20%.
This would help bust up zergs a little but not be so detrimental that zergs cease to exist.
Edit: Omg slamz. You posted that while I was typing my extremely similar idea.
I have to agree with this. The buff to wxp should be based on the number of players around, this will make the playerbase scatter in smaller groups that try to capture as many points as possible. Though the number of players should be connected to those necessary to capture a tower or a keep, since camps are soloable for certain builds.
We agree that the rate is simply too slow right now and the build next week will make some major adjustments to that. And we will continue to analyze the data after that and make more changes as necessary. In addition we will be continuing to find ways to reward players who are doing more than just running around and killing other players.
Does ANet agree that it absolutely blows to have to guard a keep, tagging siege every half hour because it absolutely has to be done while everyone else is out there getting tons of loot bags, karma, and wxp? Or zergy, way too bloated, servers are on average 20-30 levels higher than anyone else on their tier?
Such a dedicated defender should get wxp just for staying in the keep during an assault or interacting with siege weapons between the 20 min and 30 min after they have been placed.
In addition we will be continuing to find ways to reward players who are doing more than just running around and killing other players.
So you want people to do more pve in wvw ?
You have to find ways to reward players who are running around killing other players.
WvW is supposed to be PvP not PvE … kill a player often give less wxp than a dolyak -.-’
WvW is not pvp, wvw is about conquering the map with military strategy, that’s why they need to reward more those players that take and defend objectives instead of those chasing enemy zergs. We need a total rebalance to make players being more focused on important things (you don’t win the match if you kill players as they don’t reward points).
Thank DevonCarver for your reply, I’m looking forward for the new build. The rate of wvw leveling should be adjusted on a normal playstyle and not on the most profitable one like zerg vs zerg. I know well that in such a situation you could get half a rank in 10 minutes, but i also know that killing other players doesn’t make you win the match. In my opinion capturing points should award more points than player killing (i know now it’s 60 at best vs 75 but 75 is just too low for 1 camp while you could kill 10 players that give 30 wxp on average).
How much time do you play a day and every how much time do you get a rank on average? My time for a rank is about 5 hours (1k an hour counting around 10 camps/hour without zerging that i don’t like in wvw). I think they scaled the wxp earning rate on zergers and it doesn’t feel equally rewarding for camp raiders like me who also do an important part in the score.
Yes but differently from gw1, this was so acclamated to be designed for casual gamers and this system is not casual friendly, it’s one of the most hardcorish systems i’ve ever seen. Makes me feel like playing wvw is pointless as i already know that i will never make it to the top, neither if i keep playing wvw only (and i like playing all the 3 game modes, especially pve, but for a pveer semi-wvwer i’d like to reach at least a 60% of the maximum rank at the point this game will complete it’s life cycle for me, but at this rate i won’t even reach the 40%. A good suggestion would be to equate the wvw max rank to the pvp rank 80, which i think I’ll be able to reach in the long term even if i play pvp a lot less than other game modes)
So you are happy with needing about a week for 5 ranks (if playing only wvw and i like playing all aspects of the game so for 5 ranks would take me 3-4 weeks) and higher upgrades cost 15-20 points not considering the supply carry that will never get reached with the actual system. That’s 3-4 weeks of not seeing any upgrade to your character (for me 3-4 months).
Think that the technology in 2 years (time to reach 5 more supplies) will bring us so astonishing games that gw2 will seem like pac man and you’ll see how this system is failing in it’s task (giving players the feel of progression that was missing in wvw).
Nice idea the respec books, I actually have 2 points not allocated and they are really a waste there doing nothing. And no, the wxp aren’t based on opponent’s rank but on the time the opponent has been alive (like enemies in pve). Also this error leads to another nice suggestion, give more exp (other than those 60 wxp max) based on the difference of ranks. These are in my opinion both improvements that will help players get better in wvw (respec will add more strategy while the wxp extra for battling a skilled opponent will lead to build perfectioning).
Thank you for your constructive answer (the question was btw: How do you feel about the rate of leveling in wvw ranks?). I understand that it’s a long term achievement, but it’s so long that most of the system will get designed for nothing as a lot of the actual wvwers will never get to it, even if they actively play the game. And i remember that this game was designed for casual players.
How do you feel about the rate of leveling in wvw ranks?
I personally would like these were acquired faster, since some upgrades need a lot of perk points like the supply carry one (20 points for 1 more supply). Or at least they could give more points as you are a higher rank like after 10 you get 2 points per rank etc.
I think i can get a rank in 5 hours of active playing. Getting to carry only one more supply will take me 100 hours and thats about more than a month of playing for me, as i play about 3 hours a day. This is not a so casual friendly system and i feel i will never get this far.
Also if you want to max it to carry 20 supply thats about 2 years (it’s (300 rank points* 5 hours a rank)/3 hours a day=500 days) of work and meanwhile new games will come out and people will abandon gw2 for newer ones. Maybe the most of us will never see his/her character carry 20 supply (for exapmple, don’t focus on the supply upgrade because others are not so different).
I suggest what i said up here, give more points as you get after a certain rank or give us more ways of aquiring points to upgrade our characters or a lot of these upgrades will never see life.
Yesterday all ran fine but today i already crashed 2 times while playing wvw. I also sent the automatic report when the game crashed. Can you look in the issue?
Hello, yesterday i wasn’t able to sell my items because the sell panel showed empty but today is working fine. Today i can’t buy anything because the buy button is grayed out, nor i can put up buy orders. Who knows why the gem store never had such problems.
They should give us atleast the time to react though. a normal person perception and reaction time is about 1,2 seconds. If a mesmer bombs me and get me downed in say 4 seconds it takes 1,2s to understand what’s happening and what to do; 0.5 sec to change weapon; about 1,2 sec to cast the mark (0.75s cast time + 0.5s ground targeting) and the time i get out of wtf whats happening I’m about dead. I call that OP also because immobilize its a death sentence for my hp pool or my DS pool (if i have it).
I run the same build and i feel so underpowered that i might go back using minions. I can’t win any 1v1 though i’m good if i’m with my teammates where i can stay behind and find a good target to make explode with epidemic. A guardian can even outhel my damage, it’s so bad to feel like this really.
I just had a bad bad experience against a duo mesmer + ranger, his skill counted but mine was left in another world. there was nothing i could do to prevent getting stomped. He pulled me with the wall, immobilize, not even the time to change to the staff to cast number 4 that he feared me with the wolf, knockback, illusion explode and dead. Worst experience ever. This all in about 5 seconds. Is there a counter to these situation for my beloved necro?
While playing the minigame is running at 280 ms max, though i still see latency that i’m unable to move for 2 seconds after i use the running skill. Maybe last evening my connection wasn’t that good though every other part of the game ran fine and when i entered the crab toss it was a lagfest.
And you still put it in the daily tasks. Why did you release such a laggy minigame in the first place. I thought the last patch solved it’s problems but they are still there.
Reading the forums seems everyone is happy with it, but i say i wasn’t lagging in the open world, then i join this incomplete release of a minigame and people teleporting, veteran karkas turning me in a hamburger and aliens trying to fertilize my face while i can’t move or i find myself on the other side of the arena without the crab 5 seconds later all was blocked. Thta’s a shame of a game. What happened to: “When it’s ready”?
As you already know, a few patches ago they said that you won’t get in combat if one of your minions gets hit and it works with all minions except one: the one from reanimator.
