Guild Wars 2

molehill becomes a mountain.

EU or NA?

accessories can’t be crafted. Bought for laurels (daily and monthly reward) or guild commendations (guild events like bounty). Laurel vendors are in each starting city and in the WvW mists keeps.

the furthest away it can get from a wp is the centre of the map. I have not had a problem running there even with the mass mob attacking her.

Yes.
If you have a private guild however nothing will be accessible from your new server even if you guest. Empty the guild bank, everything in your personal bank will be there when you create a new character.

You are absolutely free to trade with anyone in game any item that can be bought or sold. If you want a guarantee that the product exists or that the money exists to pay for it use the TP. Really don’t understand your insistence that they must build a completely new system to do what the present system already does.

Joote.4081:

I have bought thousands of gems, and spent them on lots of things that I don’t begrudge. But I will not spend ONE gem on transmutation, as I believe it’s a internal part of the game and therefore should be free. Anything else smells of greed and trickery.

It is free as a integral part of game-play.

Rage.9723:

Teq needs to be instanced already. This is straight up annoying.

It is very possible to do now in complete PUGs, I know this because I do it every day with at least an 80% success rate. Putting it behind a wall of an instance would not change the number that would want to get in and would create a huge number of complaint threads about how it is impossible to get an invite to the instance.

What I dislike about Tequatl, is that it can’t be solo’d.

It can’t?? o.O

XD

I have fond memories of doing Teq with 1 other person. It took about 20 minutes. I enjoy the changed Teq more.

Lazuli.2098:

BTW, once you’ve made it through the dark room and must choose between 3 gaping holes with waterfalls, choose the one on the right. I hear the other 2 lead to death although I’ve never tried them. I instinctively chose the one on the right and later learned that was definitely the right choice.

If you choose wrong you are revived at the top of the falls and can choose again. Don’t let the death thing fool you and wp out.

Ok, mesmers movement speed is slow. They have off-hand focus as a speed buff and that is about it. If you want to roam a large area and catch other players an ele might be your option.

You have them, play them in sPvP. You find out exactly how they are at 80 with equipment. I myself don’t pvp but have had a huge amount of fun on both of them.

If you really only want to use either of those two I would go with guard but I am biased against thief. Equipment is easy to get. If not try engi or mesmer.

They are very strict about things that interact with the client. This looks like it only deals with how you connect to the internet/server which may be a grey zone thing but from the little I read I don’t thing ANET can do anything about it.

There is an option to report verbal abuse. Don’t know why they felt it was important to do what they did but they can get suspensions not your friend. As long as your friend did not ‘give as good as she got’ it would be clear to ANET what happened.
Advice for next time is that when people start to say I’m reporting you for things you did not do, block them.

Shockwave.1230:

Not sure if anyone has done this, I haven’t, but the only way justify the OP is to compare 2 year revenue between Guild Wars 2 and Generic Subcription MMO.

If GW2 has similar revenue to the sub MMO you think is quality (get more than just Wow by the way) , then it’s not revenue that’s the issue. It’s the opinion or expectation people have.

Yes it is the expectation. I think I recall a post about a year ago where they talked about how the revenue from the way they set up the game equalled or exceeded the projected revenue of having a sub based game. I don’t have a link and it may be a figment of my imagination.

This would be a nice thing to add.

May have something to do with your ability to see things. For example there is the exact same thread as this on the first page of this forum and has been for a couple of days.

no

EOTM or regular WvW follow the zerg.
Do the dungeons you can do.
sPvP and then use the tomes of knowledge to level.
craft jeweler and/or cook since you can get all mats easily by yourself.

It is account bound, just put it in the bank.

Erukk.1408:

(Hmm. It seems that “Wizard’s_ hat” get edited too. It must have something to do with the " ’s_ hat" part.)

Past tense of a bodily function.

I would guess that when the game goes out of beta and into live mode in China is the same time the living story 2 is released which will deal with the rebuilding of Lions Arch. It will also be the expansion into territory leading to the next dragon so Lions Arch may not be the hub that it was before it’s destruction.

Common knowledge?

The more you play the more black lion kits you will get from dailies or map completions or black lion chests you open with keys from story 10/20/50. I think right now I have 8 stacks in my bank that I use only on exotics or items with superior runes that I want to use.

The first character I got world completion on took me about 5 months (not dedicated to it). That included looking for open WvW poi’s and vistas. I have not done a second to 100% but it would be a lot faster now since I know how things work.

This game does not reward you well for doing high caliber things. Its sad and stupid that way. Who knows maybe they will stop doing this to their player base. Repetitive things should give less gold than once a day fights.

As for enjoying the content… you can really only enjoy something a million times before it becomes repetitive which most things in this game do become very easily.

And this above post is why just recently two entire guilds I know just quit. Each day more and more people I know are leaving the game for other options. What this tells me is they all can’t be wrong as they all have the exact same complaints.

There has been and probably always will be a very large lack of rewards or rewarding feelings in this game. The play it because it’s fun or you enjoy the content only works so long. Keep in mind the game as of today is close to exactly the way it was over a year ago when it was released.

Someone phrased it very well though – Thinking anything in GW2 will change at this point is an exercise in futility.

Now go enjoy your year old content.

Amazingly enough this exact post has been on these forums for a year and a half. And I recall this from basically every single game I have played in the last 15 years.

Asato.5479:

What’s Teq? What do you get from it? It is good to make money? Or just waste of time?

It is for the joy of killing a big Dragon minion of another Dragon. Get rich quick schemes are not included in Dragon slaying.

killed it just now with a pug

Sandrox.9524:

Most of mmos have like webstie which you can log on into and check your character status,inventory,friendslist ect..
Is there a website like that? and if not why not?

What?

If you did all cities and all maps that are up level 13 you should be about level 40 or so.

umm from the 15th I have done teq every day in a pug setting and I have a 70% success rate. Sorry that you do not.

It is only a zerg because everyone who tags gets a reward. Any other game would be exactly the same if they did not have mechanics where only the first to tag gets anything at all. In other games you either run past if you can’t take a high level mob or you are in a small group and everyone else runs past.
They made the events in Lions Arch much more rewarding if you did not just run in a huge mass. People still just ran in a huge mass because it was the easiest way they knew how.

How about.
“Locked thread because I don’t know how to write a constructive thread wars”

Go to the pvp section of the forums and add your name to one of the many threads that are there about this topic.

You could maybe take an axe and use it on a condition necro or ranger build. Since you can switch stats easier now and switch weapons between characters you might choose a weapon that more than one character can use.

You would be better off filing a support ticket since people on forums here know as much as you do.

Not once have I seen a daily that could not be completed in zones 1-15. No Eotm or fractal in any way required for the basic 5.

Actually, a few days ago they had “Orr Killer” as a daily, quite a few people noted that was the first time they ever saw a daily that couldn’t be done in a 1-15 zone.

There where 5 that could be done in a 1-15 zone without going into orr.

Oh dear, someone who seems to like the game is posting on that games forums. What is the world coming to?

Actually it may be skill 4, you need dagger off-hand. It is called ride the lightning anyway. You need to be in air attunement, and weapon and attunement skills are unlocked as you kill mobs and gain levels so it won’t be availible right away.

EDIT: You can go to the heart of the mists which is the sPvP area as soon as you start the game (top of screen you can see how to get into WvW and PvP). In the sPvP lobby you have access to all skills and traits as if you where max level. You can then either practice on target dummies or other players to see what you enjoy about any class.

Ele with dagger skill 3 moves very fast and blows things up at the end of it. Probably engineer is what you are looking for though.
Look at your browser settings and force a change to background.

It looks like you have only one character. Use one of you empty slots, create a character you get personal done, leveler done and when you delete the character break down the equip and that is done.

And how is that “play the way you like”? That’s just as bad as having to join a zerg train or do PvP in my book. (and I do have multiple characters, at various stages of progress, but I only level up one at the time, that happens to be my way of playing. Which is now punished by ANet)

Just advice, do what you want and be happy or miserable.

I’ve never had to think about the dailys. I’ve yet to encounter a set that doesn’t just autofinish while doing 20 mins of what little content there is in the game. Sit through boring events or PVP… well I’m sorry to break it to you but if you can’t handle events and PVP then you might not be cut out for MMORPGs because that’s all there is to this game and pretty much every other MMORPG ever made or planned for the near future.

Leveler: whoops, I just leveled yesterday and now have a complete bar to fill again, that will take ages
3 Skill points: even worse, I will need to level 3 times or find a zone I don’t have the sp yet and hope I can reach them
5 events: I’ve stopped playing one night, after 1 1/2 hours, with only 3 events done. There simply weren’t any more events (not counting failed ones or ones that I didn’t get credit for because I arrived too late)
10 salvages: RNG based, again, if you have about 30 minutes to play, you can get unlock and never get a salvagable. (been there, done that)

Dungeons, Fractals and the Orr one I don’t even try. They simply cannot be done if you don’t have a few hours to spend.

WvW/PvP: no comment.

In short, if you don’t have a full evening to play, dailies can be a pain in the backside. Especially as you want to play the way you like, instead of the way Anet would like you to play. And PvP never ever was a mandatory part of the Guild Wars games up until April 15th.

It looks like you have only one character. Use one of you empty slots, create a character you get personal done, leveler done and when you delete the character break down the equip and that is done.

I suggest since world bosses are fixed in Schedule now that the end chest goes back to 1 per character/day rather than account. If they are worried about big guilds farming them than limit it to 3 per account since that is the official number that ANET has decided on.

Saulius.8430:

i don’t see any problems with dailies – unless you hate pvp and eotm karma train

Not once have I seen a daily that could not be completed in zones 1-15. No Eotm or fractal in any way required for the basic 5.

Your reward is karma and exp and the chance to do the main event. I have never seen a main event fail due to the pre not being done with the exception of Claw before mega-server came into play.

Ascended armour is shared within the same weight class across character species. Back pieces and jewellery are shared at ascended level no matter what. Weapons are also shared across species.

Dose anyone play a Norn Thief? I really haven’t seen one and I think it would be great.

I have a Norn Thief. It is has also maxed size, since I wanted to do something opposite in regards to everyone telling me that a thief should be small. And I love the appearance of my thief

I have a Norn Theif as well. He blends right into the background.

There are a lot of purchases going on at once, the trading post has to check that the price it has shown you for an item is still available – as in someone else hasn’t purchased all of the item at the quantity and price you were shown. So yeah it takes a second for the transaction to go through, but it’s really not a bit deal. You are literally complaining about something that takes two seconds being slow >.>

That’s not the reason why it is slow.

The real reason why it is slow is because it is an in-built web browser loading up the page.

Some thing that annoys the hell out of me and I don’t get why they just didn’t use the game client instead.

Probably since all items from both NA and EU servers are pooled in the AH they use the browser to communicate between the stacks.

You really screwed the pooch on this one guys. You’re going to have to really work to win back the good will you’ve lost with this fiasco.

Or you’ll have to downgrade your expectations for developer involvement on the forums.

It is nice to see that the predictions made by myself and others that a simple “we are reading this” confirmation would be considered insufficient turned out to be true, though.

Didn’t see that one coming! Here’s a tough one, see if you can predict how many cans of beer are in a six-pack.

8? But they are just lazy and lie about being in the six pack, but I demand that they become part of the 6 pack! If not I will buy this 12 pack over here for twice the money and teach those lazy 6 packs for not being 8 packs! Just watch me!
