Guild Wars 2

Also a word of caution. If you change worlds the bank stays where it was.

Thought it was going to be some kind of dog joke reading the title. On topic it is a strange system. You can buy keys but if you hyper farm like the OP you can’t keep up to the differences (only one of each colour key per day)

Demand an expansion?

I found it to be more difficult in a group than solo. I am not the best player I will admit and die during the run, so it is not easy for me either way. The final fight against the hybrid is way easier than the first 2 rooms. The molten room is the easiest just killing the portals.

Repetitive sounds from combat is the main reason I have the sound turned off of the game. That and NPCs saying the same thing all the time.

Deadcell.9052:

Box sales are going to take a huge hit in the coming months and possibly well into the first half of next year due to the release of Ps4 and Xbox 1. So don’t expect anything more than what we are currently getting here with Gw2.

That’s unlikely. At this stage the majority of income is more likely from the cash shop than box sales, and of the box sales there’s still a significant percent of people that are PC -or- console as opposed to both. Impacts on box sales from those new mediums should be small.

Very small frankly.

The 5 or 6 toxic spores that don’t give a guaranteed rare quality spore are spread around most of the zones. They have a fairly quick respon and always appear at the same spot.

Found the thread, sounds like a way to get legendaries into sPvP.

Posts by ANET on the subject have stated it would not be in game as a hunt and the crafting variant will be pushed back to next year.

Norn are the only ones without. Would guess sons of Svanir are here next recuits. Unless she finally goes after her real target.

First and second level you can run through solo. Third is an absolute pain, can be done solo but your timing needs to be spot on. Zerg is not required anywhere just sticking with a group of 3+ is good, easy kills, most will res (some won’t but meh they would just run past anyway).

I did not get any recognizable bosses on my 80 that has completed the personal story (it is a human). I got Trehearn, Caithe and the molten boss on an 80 that has up to eye of zhaitan and did not do the molten facility. It is a sylvari toon though.

Races scarlet has used and abused.

Char – flame and frost. Took new hybrid weapons
Human- Southsun and clockwork. Took ability to make new army.
Assura – Aetherblades. Took what? Megalaser? Lightning based weapons?
Sylvari – Nightmare. Took ability to create powerful hybrid creature.
Norn I don’t know to me they have so far not been main puppets. What could the Sons of Sanir provide?

So, she can create a mechanical army. Arm them with lightning and megalasers. Lead the army with hybrid things. What is her target? Jormag?

Aly Cat.9415:

Anyway, I agree we haven’t learned much about Scarlet but we have learned about the other characters so there has been progression of other subplots. Like, I’m curious to learn more about the tension between Logan, Anise and the queen. Plus I’m starting to enjoy new companions more and more. Marjory, Kasmeer, Rox and Braham have been a fun juxtaposition to Destiny’s Edge with their youthful energy and lack of baggage. I do hope that Scarlet’s arc will eventually reveal more about the other tree and how it relates to the dragons. Didn’t they start to reemerge around the same time as the sylvari’s birth?

There must be some connection.

This got me thinking. There are now 4 ‘companions’. Braham is guard, Marjory is theif, Kashmeer is mesmer and Rox is ranger. This leaves one spot open to finish off a fabulous five, which would be your character. Could be a set-up for a new destinies edge with you in the staring role.

You can be in overflows for the tower. I get what you are saying, it will be interesting how they handled that.

what happens to the tower on a server when players from that server inject the anti toxin in an overflow zone?

On a buffer overflow, i imagine only the tower of the overflow ends, and if you save on the overflow player on the server might decided to end it.

Dont get me wrong im at work, so still speculating on the process how Anet is envolving something that does not fit in the game engine, talking about chooses, events decided by players, it does not make sense with overflow system…

I might be missing something, but as i understand this, the tower will only fall after the bloom has been injected a number of times. It’s like a server wide thing. I injected the bloom last night, and tower is absolutely still standing. There appeared to be a progress bar for the how many times it had been done, and was barely moving. Given that the overflow isn’t persistent (I don’t think? ), is that progress wasted?

As far as I understand, when you enter an instance it is hosted in your home server, and you have to enter an instance to inject the anti-toxin.

Hmm…but if your party is made up of people from many different servers on the overflow map, whose ‘home server’ is the instance created on? The first person to enter the instance’s server? Then we are back to ‘does injecting toxin on another server count towards your home server, or the server on which you are’?

Lol…mind-boggling!

Or it could apply to all severs represented in the instance. Easy to do, just one more check mark on completion.

Farzo.8410:

Maybe.

That’s all there is to it.

This.

azizul.8469:

becoz he wants the mod to delete this thread perhaps ?

Just write delete thread, not change the title when people don’t agree with you. Makes the OP look like a fool.

So you changed the title for which of many reasons I can think of?

buy them instead, can buy 1 set to make 1 key per day.

Or if you get drops of one colour buy up the other colours.

Very well done ANET staff. Bravo!

Aeolus.3615:

Karizee.8076:

According to the patch notes:

The Tower of Nightmares content will be available until the tower’s heart is destroyed. Watch the progress as more antitoxin is injected!

So the Tower will survive as long as players on each server allow it. This means that the Tower could be destroyed on some servers but still up on others. Truly dynamic content, this

Wich intrigues me, becouse if it works like that way means theres no overflows for the tower?

No overflows is a very good thing for LS, if it is true Anet is really learning.

I have been in lots of overflows in the tower. Though I am not quite sure what you mean.

I believe the message below should be reworded/changed to get rid of the follow the thread here reference.

A moderator moved a message you posted to the forum ‘Trashcan’ with the reason:

Removing the thread, (I removed the title since it is not really about this suggestion) as the original post was removed.

Follow the new thread here.

VOLKON.1290:

Brow.9425:

I wasn’t able to solo it on my first attempt, so I went back out to find a partner. That person had already done it 3 times, so I never saw ‘story mode’. NPCs would show up at random times though. Once I had Braham instead of Kasmeer show up.

But… that’s impossible! Braham dies years ago!

Random ball flying in from left field lol. Bam right between the eyes.

Adry.7512:

once again arenanet…..very BAD idea….enjoy ur nr1 tittle for 2012….because you will never and i mean never in your life be in even a top3 official tier of any year ever again. its simple, none of you have the cognition to make a good game actually stay….good, period….very sorry, but you dont.

instead of probably taking down this comment or thread, try to take into consideration the fact that you fell off in less than a year of your “nr1” game being out. take it to heart, because you deserve it.

What? A little incoherent rage goes a long way.

Hmm, guess she did not like my style. She did not show up to show me anything.

Came back this evening and it is possible to solo, just a pain. Did get the diving spot this time though lol.

FlamingFoxx.1305:

The first time you do it is the “story” mode, so Marjory and Kasmeer are there, all subsequent times are “exploration” mode so it’s just you/your party. I think that is what is happening anyway.
The megalazer shouldn’t actually be too bad, just make sure that you are constantly moving and try to save your dodge because you won’t need it for all of them. Obviously it’s a little easier for a ranged character but yeah.

Could be. Would have been nice to have a little clarification. Getting out of the way is not the problem, distracting the 3 mobs that spawn each round is (and their electric stun/root). Those two where oh so good at that lol.

Last night after release (live in Europe) when you entered the final dungeon at the top of the tower Marjory and Kasmeer joined you. This morning they where not there. It makes the dodge the megalazer bit really tough.

An Siorai Tharian.4516:

they need a more inventive censor. And ironically I did have a space inbetween the words, somehow that space appears to have been ignored by the censor. Does it do that often?

yes

The censor mechanic comes into play when the last letter of the first word you used and the first 3 letters of the second word you used are separated by a space (or not). Very inflexible censor but that is what they have.

You can still play how you want. You want to only craft then you need to get gold. You want to only do jumping puzzles you need to have ok reflexes. Can’t say to ANET (though people do) let me do jumping puzzles without jumping. To me that is the same as let me do crafting without mats.

Yenn.9185:

Togashi Jack.9531:

I don’t know, this might be a foreign concept for some people but you might want to consider leveling to 80 by a means that is not exclusively crafting, such as… well… playing the game?

“Play how you want”, buddy. Not everyone wanna level a character traditional way when it’s more time and cost efficient to just craft. Not to mention it’s boring as hell to go out in the open world. WvW karma train makes it less painful though.

Both have not been released. Both are going through exactly the same hype as GW2 did before release.

Salt.4621:

Guhracie.3419:

That being said, I don’t see why GW2 must have an answer to the Draenor expansion WoW just announced. We’re consistently getting new content. They’re one year out. There’s no need for any sort of expansion right now, even if they intended to roll one out at some point.

It’s not World of Warcraft that they need an answer for its Elder Scrolls Online and EQ Next. Both have combat systems that will be familiar to GW2 players, both are next gen MMOs, both have huge budgets behind them and with that, expectation to succeed, both are from established and incredibly popular franchises.

‘they say’ and maybe and they could be the best are meaningless until they actually show something. Good try with the scare tactics though.

Thanksgiving was on October the 14th. Bit late to ask for something now is it not?

I actually took this option on my guardian. Did not remember it being anything like what you wrote here. It was a strange thing when you swim out to the ship. I tried to rez all and they just died so I swam away from them and they all revived and joined me when I was almost to the shore. Don’t remember any slimes. The final fight after you get onto shore seemed to be just survive the ranged boss long enough to kill it.

Adrift.8596:

No i failed because of the bug in SHIPS of the LINE personal story quest. U get to pick:

destroy the navy
find missing squad
take tanks to heart of orr

After i pick navy, first mission is pain in the kitten because there is a spiderlord champion with tones of conditions cc minion spawn and mass health so he kinda kills you in 10 sec if u try to kite him. But i managed to do that quest because he didn’t regenerate HP(one of NPC kept him in combat) and in 5-6 tries i did it.

Then came one normal difficulty mission with 4 undead ships.

AND then came SHIPS IN THE LINE mission. Where u have to control guns to reflect and atack catapults, bone walls etc. and GIANTS hit u with their rock. Everything is cool till u have to go below the den to solve ooze problem. Then giants still somehow manages to throw rocks on you when u below the den (ships bottom floor).

SO i still did that part… and then came the BUG part. you have to save NPCs from the other ship which orrians crashed. So i go the green circle on map, res one NPC and can’t res any others. So i went google and checked that NPC which supposed to fallow me has to res them, but he just stood there chilling in poison cloud(which was thrown from one of ships) with full hp;D no matter what i did he still was there.

So i pressed R(not to get hit by poison and die) and went online for another clue or something and i FOUND devs message( i copy again) :

I know it’s frustrating, but it’s a bug at the end of the game for players on one of 3 different paths, so it really doesn’t affect enough players to be worth risking a hotfix. (And updating just one content file isn’t trivial, so essentially we’d be pushing a bunch of other stuff that hasn’t had time to be tested.)

So i open my game again and see that i swam out of border of instance, then rage quit, then write that post which i suppose u didn’t get.

Whats funny is that they say there wasn’t time to test it. Ohh come on 1 year isn’t enough? Anyway I am never picking that story line again. Not only TANK path is much easier, but it isn’t bugged…

Hope that clearifies

What you run around smacking, where you do it and how often if your choice. Just as getting into a large group and only hitting 1 is your choice. Many options out there that do not include this.

Nice that some people in Tyria change clothes before they rot and fall off. Either that or it is a franchise Baker Claudette. Kind of like Tim Horton is not behind the counter at Tim Hortons (kind of hard for him to do that really since he died several years before the franchise took off).

I am actually amazed how little inflation there is in this game. The biggest drawback I saw coming into this game 14 or so months ago was the gems to cash. Other games with similar systems I was familiar with the high end items would be in the 100s of thousands to million range by now. Inflation does not have an overly big impact from what I can see.

Stinson.5972:

I don’t mind people TP flipping because it doesn’t cause inflation – with the TP tax it actually destroys gold. It does raise prices in a few categories of things because it creates a small clique of people that can spend enormous sums on certain items, but it cannot cause inflation. As for fairness, I think in a game the most rewarded activity should be playing the game rather than something ancillary like the TP. But I can’t deny the flippers are bringing more skill and craft to the table than running around frostgorge in a zerg and spamming 1.

Champ farming, by contrast, brings gold into the economy – too much gold for far too little effort. It draws players away from doing more interesting stuff; it feels harder to find people to run temples and dungeons than it used to be. It’s true that it is not the most rewarding activity per hour – there are a few besides TP flipping that give better – but is by far the easiest, and is not as time-gated as dungeons or ancient/ori farming.

I think it is discovering 7 or 8 exotic recipes per 25 levels. Various ways to do this, cheapest is to take a side trip to harvest on your way to somewhere else. Takes longer. There are also some potions artificer can make but the exp you get is not so great. The refining of the various T7 mats does not give so great an experience boost either.

There have been people posting how they are completely uninterested in the game since release. As seen above they are still posting this. They will be posting this long after I have moved on to another game. Weird hobby.

kRiza krimos.1637:

Im just curious why aren’t borderlands as beautiful and bit more thematicaly varied as Tyria is. Is only thing that grows in mists grass, with sporadic tree here and there?

They do a good job of having war-zones as barren, centaur zone is mostly treeless other areas with large scale troop movements is the same. Borderlands is pure war-zone should not be a lot of scenery.

Housing will keep you busy for what? A few hours at most. Then back to the AMUSE ME bandwagon.

That’s completely up to the player. It will obviously keep you busy for a few hours, but you are not me thanks.

yes, thank goodness that is true.

Housing will keep you busy for what? A few hours at most. Then back to the AMUSE ME bandwagon.

Buy ecto/salvage rares for ecto, then salvage ecto, then sell t6 dust and eat the luck!

This, not really cheapest up-front but best overall.

spiritus.7983:

For www guilds are verry important, for pve not so much. I was in a www guild, knew everyone’s toon, what class is playing. Curently I’m in a pve/dungeon guild, never did a dungeon with them, I have no ideea who this ppl are… etc. Mostly I’m sitting there coz of a friend I knew back in www guild, also I was sick of ppl keep inviting me to random guilds. Since wallet was introduced by ANet I dont even feel the need to do a bank guild… too poor to put anything in it anyway.

One of the main benefits of having a private guild/bank guild is that you have a name of a guild associated with your toons and do not get invites to guilds. Also just running around gives you enough to open the first tier of the bank and really requires almost zero gold unless you want to put in some.

Aurora Glade has a server wide web site now and I am sure other servers have similar things. A Teq run is done 1 time a week maybe more, do not keep track of it. It is a pick-up arrive and take part as long as you log into the advertised teamspeak. There is no need to grovel just pay attention.

Nope, nope, subjective.

Tequatl loot is among the best in the game, if not the best. The risk is minimal if you dodge the waves, and further mitigated if you’re in the zerg at his feet.

Don’t know how you’re bored if you’re offered at least three different ways of approaching this fight, but again, that’s subjective and you’re free to think it’s boring.

It isn’t good loot if it never drops.
It isn’t minimal risk if you’re perpetually understaffed.
It isn’t fun if no one is around to do it. It is boring.

You can call my situation subjective, but then offer the exact opposite scenario as not subjective at all?

I tried joining TTS, didn’t get the time of day from anyone involved, and I don’t feel like grovelling for a meager chance at loot that I can’t guarantee will be useful. But obviously that’s my fault that Tequatl requires people not already in mega-guilds to join mega-guilds to get kitten done, right?

TTS has a website application, there’s no groveling involved.

Hey thanks for enlightening me(The newbie) about guild. Didn’t know there were so many things that weren’t implemented.

Well basicaly guilds never been a bad thing in gw2, but honestly not a must thing you can completly solo play, if you are lone wolf being.

So basically a guild is a social group that likes to play together. I don’t see a huge problem.
