If a guaranteed method was available to get any colour you wanted than the price would not be more than a few copper on the TP. So no there is no way to get a guaranteed colour of a dye.

Is there a way to improve the RNG?

If there is no one is talking
I don’t know of any, never got celest as a drop, have gotten abyss but sold it since there are to me nicer dark/black colours for a fraction of the price.

This past weekend I have not been able to finish teq it always crashes. Mostly when we run back to dps it down. I was doing it daily without a problem up until now.
I have not touched wurm in a while so can’t say anything about that one.

Suggestion forum no longer is active. No one can post. It is in the archive section.

From my understanding you need to be 80. It is an exotic weapon does not matter that it is a precursor. The only exception was the southsun introduction at the start of the game where everyone was upleveled to 80 and the reward chest items where level 80.

Make up your own mind if you find it fun or not, I personally still do after a year and a half. Others as you can read do not.

Tobias Trueflight.8350:

I’ll also add nobody yet answered questions which were seriously asked about:

- If the pick was dropped via a more convoluted effort but you could just skip it for 1000 Gems, would anyone care as much?

This has been answered. If they had put in the same chance on all ori level picks it would not have been a problem at all. It does not need to be a convoluted effort, just needs to include similar odds rather than one gem-store item. I don’t consider the meta as an similar chance since it too is limited to those that did the meta which is a time limited item.

This has been suggested since the game was a month old and people who like running in crowds saw that the pop was split up into different areas. Either it will be added or not, it is up to ANET to implement, they do know that people has shown interest though.

Would be nice to have an option to only show on mini-map as well. That way if you just want to be a signpost you don’t disrupt others line of sight either.

johnIV.3849:

So pretty much if you want to be defensive/defensive boons/heals and play with zergs go guardian. And if you want to be more offensive/offensive boons/more passive defense and play solo/small groups go warrior.

Does that pretty much summarize it?

yes

The thing with GW2 is though, the game is dependent on DEs to level up. In other games, you don’t need other players to level you up, as questing is a solo experience. In GW2 you need to do hearts/DEs to level up normally or quickly. That is where the problem comes in, as most DEs don’t get done or are hard to do solo and as a result the leveling process is slowed.

I just leveled a warrior to 80 last week it took in total a month of casual play. Did not use crafting except to get a daily. Only needed 40% total map completion. Never had a problem with map completion when I actually bothered completing a map. It is not an issue unless an individual player makes it an isssue.

To be fair, it depends on what class you level or what maps you choose. I had no problem getting my guardian to 80 (was a breeze actually) but I had significant trouble with my mesmer because they are fairly weak until they can put 30 points into traits b/c they are trait dependent. Also, i’m not complaining that it’s an issue, it just looks bad for new players and can make them discouraged to play.

Could be yes, I did exactly the same thing on a mesmer and a ele a year ago though. People then as well where complaining about how empty and impossible to complete things where. Nothing has changed.

I started during the headstart a year and a half ago and frankly if you where not with the mob of people leveling you always ran into events that had not been completed. What really do you expect? It is not possible to do all the events, it is not meant for all the events to be done all the time which is why there is a difference in completed and incomplete graphics and npc chat.

I am one of it seems few people who like running around doing events because I find them fun.

I see people everywhere really- not mobs or zergs but enough people to be surprising.

Some events also are on a fairly short repeat cycle, so if I did it 5 minutes ago I am not going to do it again, unless some poor soul is going at it alone.

I sometimes get the itch to play hero and pick and out of the way map and clear it from one end to the other- opening wp’s, killing roaming champs, saving villages etc. Usually there are others with exactly this in mind.

I honestly prefer the way it is now to the absolute crush we had at head start

Yes absolutely, the crush really turned me off. That there are events to do I think is a good thing. Others seem to think that if it is not done and stays done it is a tragedy. Different perspective I guess.

Take a random 10 titles posted today and most of them will be the same in a year or 10 years. Especially the ones saying x game will kill this one or this game is dead because.

I have everything except engi at 80 now and would recomend mesmer. Even at low levels for me it was a breeze and very fun.

Huge thread here might give you ideas.

How many tickets do they cost now?

one

You played 3,000 hours for about $60 dollars and think you did not get enough out of your experience? Just as a side to walk from Tromsö in Norway to Cape Town in South Africa takes according to google 2941 hours.

Sam.6483:

3k hours GW2 playtime, including early beta on couple of accounts here. After playing about all MMORPGs last 8-9 years, most of them hardcore I am pretty confident that I am much happier with subscription based model with complete lack of cash shop. For the overal superior gaming experience with GW2 compared with the competition I’ll be happy to pay £10-15/month. Overall I feel more satisfaction achieving feat or winning item purely because of my skills or time investment in game than just buying it with cash (example being, making the achievement with 8 orbs Liadri, so far my most satisfaing moment in GW2). I worked our pretty fast that working 16 hours real life overtime to buy legendary is easier than “working” 1000 hours game time unpleasent and repetitive farming of gold and materials to craft it. So To have legendary I work 2 days instead of playing 2 days, seems wrong to me personaly. Thanks.

I very rarely do dungeons, so some things are over a year old and I have no clue which path was done. I would really like to know if I have done something or not.

I have found that Southsun can change very rapidly without an update. Doing a run then finding it different 1 hour latter is not really fun. GW2nodes seems to have become infested with trolls and the nodes are all over the place this past week or so.

I remember long ago the claim made by the company that the model they are using gives more money than the projected amount they could make by going to a sub format. The gist I got out of it was they where very happy they choose the current model.

There is only one place that this happens to me and it is only one mob that is a problem. The vet jellies in Frostgorge will always reset no matter what unless they are being attacked by a pet (ranger or mesmer or necro).
Other than than never happens without running out of the leash area.

Keys as drops, never. I have farmed them and gotten from map complete and story complete.
Precursors as drop or from forge or chests? Zero.
Started during headstart way too many hours played.

I’d have to say your odds were worse than the guys who betted on the Seahawks winning with a 35 point spread, though your odds were much better than an earlier thread about someone who threw in 3 armors and a bow, and somehow, out popped Dusk!

wow.. 3 armors and a bow produces a dusk? That’s some insane luck lol. Bet that made his day.

You can get any exotic if you mix armour, weapon and jewelry rares together. It is better not to put in jewelry since you can get any other accessory out in exotic form. Armour only gives only a chance for exotic armour and the same for weapons.

oh look even greener grass is over this other way.

Go to options, control options and remove all the shift commands.

just opened the game and it did not update. Wonder what you hit?

Danikat.8537:

You don’t really get regional accents in-game though since it’s all text. Very occasionally someone will type something phonetically but it’s not common from what I’ve seen.

OP: Any server that doesn’t have a language tag after it’s name is likely to be mainly English speakers. (The tags are [FR] for French, [DE] for German and [SP] for Spanish.

From personal experience I can confirm that Desolation, Gandara, Gunnar’s Hold and Piken Square are definitely mainly English speakers. I can’t remember which of the others I’ve actually played on rather than being in an overflow.

(On a related note how come there are no Spanish or French NA servers? I thought something like 50% of Canadians spoke French as a first language and Spanish was one of the most widely spoken languages in the Americas.)

Canada is officially bi-lingual but there is not nearly 50% of the pop that are native French speakers. Spanish is more prevalent in the USA than French is in Canada so it is kind of strange that it is not recognized.

150 max cap, think about it.

Korossive.7085:

There are no classes! YOU’RE WRONG AND I’LL PROVE IT ARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!

+1, you need to start off by writing WRONG, though. Otherwise perfect.

Thief.
That needs to type more than 15 characters.

Speaking all foreign? Majority of people speak English in map chat, unless you joined a German (DE) or French (FR) server. On Aurora Glade you occasionally get South African/Dutch but 99% of the time it is English.

Also if you have a guild bank look there.

Artemis.6283:

Capes were always part of the human culture so if you say Charr doesn’t wear them because of their heritage or whatever , you also have to explain why the other races don’t wear them….

Funny thing is I have walked down many streets in many countries and have yet to see capes on anyone but a guy dressed up in a flag returning bottles he collected.

Araziel.7201:

Anet’s gotta eat, fellas. Calm down, it isn’t that bad. Buy it with gold if you can’t afford the 12 dollars. And even if you don’t get it this time, save up and get it next time. They always bring that stuff back.

You are missing the point completely.
No none is saying that Anet does not have to eat and no one is denying that the gemstore supports the game.

the gold you convert to gems- those gems where bought with real money by someone else and converted to gold.

Whether or not we can afford it is not the issue either.

The issue is adding an item in the store that gives an advantage that no in game item gives.
So it is no longer cosmetic or convenience.
The store is about cosmetics and convenience.

This is why everyone is upset

@Claudius.5381.
Although BLSK do give you a 100% chance of getting the rune back- they do not qualify as okay to win to me because I get them for the game.
Mystic Kits have such a high salvage rate in my experience that I rarely use my Black Lion kits
I certainly don’t get sprockets from my ori tools- or from my unlimited tools either

This is the main reason I really think it was a bad idea to introduce this. I do not think it is the mythical slippery slope but I would very much like them to remove the non cosmetic aspect of this item.

shift-cntrl-h is the sequence

This we does not.

I have been playing lane one to get the stomp AP. Aggro against the pet can be great with the devourers because they auto retreat away so they draw the arrow towards the wall. As long as the pet survives the champ is facing the wall. And yes we complete our circle each time but sometimes others do not so it took me about 3 tries to get the stomp. The kick with the second boss is actually the first attack dodge that I got in this event and that was shortly after release.

Buttercup.5871:

Hypothetical? Tell that to the people trying to craft the juggernaut now. Those silver doubloons don’t cost 2 silver each anymore. Doubloons were bought up by people who figured out this item was really difficult to obtain.

Sure you can use your gift of sprockets, but if you need 10k sprockets, it will take a while to get there don’t you think? In fact, the new gear already requires 500 sprockets each, per insignia/inscription. Try and get yourself a full set with just a sprocket node, see how long that will take you.

Luckily those new Insignia/Inscriptions aren’t Berserker so nobody cares

Stat distribution and optimal builds are changing in a few months so they might care

Problem is people already bought them, so they cannot simply remove the feature, otherwise they have to deal with loads of refund requests.
So I’m thinking this will be the new trend, i.e. new gathering tools have bonus of getting new LS crafting materials, from now on. Previous bought item.. um.. you got your benefit already for the past x months now time to move on and buy a new one.

They discontinued Flamekissed armor.
They can do the same for this.

If they remove this pickaxe i will have to murder every whiny little kitten in this thread.

They do not need to remove the pick-axe. They do in my personal opinion need to remove the sprocket that the axe gives. It is a convenience and looks gem shop item and it should only be a convenience and looks item, not a way to get a different item that has a limited source.

Yargesh.4965:

Just adding my voice that I think it is a bad idea to include a drop of an extra item that is not widely available anywhere else. Not a good plan.

The item is available in every Scarlett invasion and in your home instance if you complete the meta for this Living Story.

oh yes they are now and I have the node in my home instance. They are not available when the event is over or for those that did not do the meta. That is to me a not widely available item.

Abeezil.2936:

Not sure if I’ll try the WvW or not at this time. Right now, I’m exploring and learning the mechanics of the game as much as anything. I’m having some difficulty getting into the trade area in Divinity’s Reach, but maybe it’s just that I’m on the wrong level or something. Real life intervened yesterday so I had to leave the game without finding it. Interesting to see that the amount of ingame gold is seemingly for the whole account, so that all characters have access to it. I think that’s great – no more mailing funds off to alts. I like the game, though, and will certainly continue. I’m sure it’ll all be a little less confusing once I get the hang of it and stop trying to approach it in my accustomed ‘WoW’ way.

I believe the trade area you are talking about is the one you need to buy access to with gems. It is a convenience that is not really high on my priority list but others find it great. You do not need to enter it to map the area. The crafting area that is free is on the south side of the city below the inner ring.

What Robetul means is that if you stay offline you are still considered and marked as there by the server. As soon as you log back in you are considered just joined. Weird but when I had that problem at Claw it was better to wait then log back in to get the chest. This is one of the more annoying aspects of the game, you should get the chest but may not get the credit if you follow what I am writing here.

Vol.7601:

Three of the most common reasons why marionette fails
-Rangers who refuse to put their pet on passive
-Casual/bad players thinkings they can just afk zerg champs and not read mechanics
-Platforms end up with <3 players.

-you spawn right in the middle of orange circles.

again got a win this time on home server. 3 of us rangers in my circle on boss 2, chain was broken, we where definitely not the last to kill the boss and break the mechanism. No problem with the profession just with people.

Lets see, 2 wins on overflow and 1 win on home server (just now). Came 20 or so min before each event. Did some scouting to see which lanes needed people and then the event started. Not a single wait for me anywhere near an hour.

Wow I have zero wins in overflow, several friends of mine are 1-2/10 on overflow attempts and they came about 30min or so ahead at times and still got overflowed, depending on time of day. You must be super duper special.

Yes? Where do you think others in overflow come from? Only people who are guaranteed a spot on home server are those that can afford to wait around and don’t DC. The odds of there being many of your own server people on the same overflow are huge.
