Where they doing the new tracks that give rewards that can be ascended?

If no one else is using the deposit function I don’t see the point in preventing multiple deposits from one person. And as said above if you can only deposit one by one get rid of the option to add more.

Hmm odd ascended drops

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

Depends of what you play. High level fractals are the highest odds of getting anything ascended, I hear now drops are fairly common. Everything else is low odds. Have had the occasional drop at teq and tri wurm with 1 or 2 others scattered about in other areas, but I still needed to make armour and several weapons and I am not 100% on all toons.

It is exactly what the message you get says. There is a limit to how many mails you can send out in a fixed period of time. Many think it is too tight of a throttle, many don’t even know it is there (like you) but the company has not changed it in years.

Actually I have a new one. Account wide loot drops. Every time an item drops for the character being played a copy of that item is placed on every single character on your account! I don’t know why it has not been asked for before now. Don’t like alts, np just click a check mark in options and the total number of possible characters are added.

Okay, but only if every item in all the loot tables drops 100% of the time. Otherwise RNG is to unfair.

True.

Where are the large bags?

ridiculous? You have been given all the options you need. Plus story mode gives an 18 slot bag, not sure what you think should be done for your issue.

Yargesh.4965

I would like to see the costs of things go down, the need for charged quarts could be worked out of the equation completely and I would be glade for one thing. The need for so much eldar wood, mithril and linseed oil is excessive I think as well. The rest is really just pet peeves of mine about sPvP (which I don’t do, can’t get any desire to do either) and WvW is another big so what to me, but those are my own personal things and should not really be reflected in the halls as a whole.

Help Claiming Guild Hall/Gaining Favor

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

A single person can run a race mission if other guilds are doing it at the same time. Once the total of 15 across the line is reached you can claim the favour. The lowest amount you get from the different levels is 300 so more than enough to pay for the claiming. If you pick PvE only missions (others require at least 3 members of the guild to get credit) your odds go up of getting one that week a solo player (or 2) can do to get things rolling.

Need more/bigger bags; help?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

Bags are cheap to craft up to 15 slot size. You can buy bags from the tp as well but kind of a waste of gold.
Make sure you are using the deposit function (gear symbol top right of your inventory).

Exploring HoT

Thief is actually a nice thing to learn the maps on since if you get it down no prof will be any sort of trouble.
For a nice relaxing first time you will have few problems with a revenant, plus you build up the new prof fast as you go and learn what the maps are like.

Underwater combat unlocks at lvl 8 so if you have the trident equipped it should show up.
The bugs forum is also a good place for the devs to see problems in the game.

Am I just wasting experience?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

Yes the 4 new maps and all the other original maps have separate exp and mastery points.
The new animations of npc’s and attacks need to be learned since if you spot them you do not take the damage that can take you out easily. Only recommendation I have is to actually run around and do events in every map, don’t be worried about dying and figure out why if you do actually do die.
Do learn the pocket raptors, they are a lot of fun (not in a sarcastic way).

All you need to do is the short story on one character that starts the HoT content. You get 1 mastery point and unlock on the mastery system. After that all experience will go towards Tyria or HoT masteries depending on which maps you are on.

I enjoy it. It is a nice change of pace when I don’t feel like putting in much effort into what I am doing.

Fair enough. It’s a Zen thing; I don’t think you literally enjoy pressing F . I still think any material price crashing is a good thing.

Couple things. First the act is relaxing especialy when you pop on a video on a second monitor or something. Secondly you probably wouldn’t be thinking price crashes are a good thing if every mat in the game was worthless cause then you wouldn’t make any money.

And also it was hardly a crash, more of a decline.

In all seriousness, most likely the people who watched the video will do it for a bit, then move on and not care anymore, because its boring, and they’ll see they aren’t making as much gold as the video says because….more people are doing it too. Thus further driving them away to keep doing it.

So think of it as a fad. People are jumping on the bus now, but its most likely not going to last and the market will balance out again

This.
I will use it to fill out my own needs since I have other ways to make the gold I want for the rest of the game. It is like when I need iron and platinum, I know exactly where I need to go to get it and when I don’t need them I don’t go there.

why are Saurians so OP in this game?

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

Sauron is in charge of the Saurians so go figure.
Serious note the mushrooms can take any dinosaur without a problem. The dino’s have clear tells and you can mostly get out of the way without issue, even the smokescales depending on which prof you play are not a huge issue.

How many have seen the underwater legendaries used in combat?

Anyone?

Yeah. That’s what I thought.

I think four of us in my guild have Kraitkin. We’re our own special Kraitkin Club.

I see Kraitkin underwater all the time. If I see a mesmer it has Kraitkin, if I see a necro it has Kraitkin. Gotta believe your eyes

Alternative option to an SSD?

A usb 3 port and a flash drive will give similar results as a Solid state Drive. I run it that way on my desktop computer and it does speed up loading times. I have never had the issues of so slow loading you are talking about however.
As to the freezing when my old graphics card was overheating it would do similar things, just not as often as you describe.

A few quick questions before I buy the HoT

Yargesh.4965

The boosts gets you to 80 and gives armour and trinkets of good quality. The elites you have to unlock yourself. I would use it right away instead of tomes just because you don’t have the level up prompt and the level rewards to click through.

How to travel away from Guild Hall?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

One other thing, if the guild has unlocked the portal you can go to the mists (not that you can’t go directly there from you UI anyway), Lions Arch and the new Airship hangar. You can also go to the nearest wp to the unlocked guild mission races and other missions. This can be useful if you have not explored some areas since it gives a free open wp.

There have been several posts in Player helping player subforum where they have been able to get together enough to take either guild hall. I used people I know in game. I think I have seen people claim to have taken with 3, myself I have taken with 4 people total. Have less than 9 so you only have 1 spawn point and all is good. As Pax above I have private guild halls and while it takes time (shovels and celestial) it can be progressed.

GW2 & HoT Feedback

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

Your issue seems to be everything needs a role and that is a fixed thing. The game from my perspective does not need roles, if I want to play x class as a in your face type I can. If I want to be further out I can. The responsibility of health management is heavily on each player not someone standing in the back so that is a basic inbuilt thing again no role needs to be filled.
As for all classes/proffs being a mess can’t say I even come close to understanding this. Some I like much, much better than others and the opposite is true for other people. But a mess? Not at all.

I am not talking about being frugal, read my post. I am talking about the crap storm of people claiming not so long ago that the vicious evil ones destroyed their lives and how to only get the base game. Nothing more.

In that case your post is irrelevant as the OP was only asking about buying a core account for login rewards and whether or not an core account would be a f2p account with no login rewards.

taking advice about relevancy from a person with the highest post rate on the game is something to think about.

I don’t quite understand the logic of buying an old key. Why do this? You can find fairly cheap HoT keys from reputable vendors so what gives?

If the person is not planning to do HoT content on it, why should they pay even one dollar more?

True enough but sometimes it feels more like being petty not to buy it than cost concerns.
Disclaimer: I have a non HoT account that I bought before the release of the expac. Not going to upgrade it, but if I was buying new I would just go for the HoT.

Since I am not a jumping person, I just lay the clouds and then delete them after me, it is interesting to delete too much though since you are standing on nothing.
Also who is running around lighting torches in areas the guild has not unlocked yet? Must have a word with them, maybe slip them a drink or two to open it up for me.

You can load the DAT file onto a flash drive and move it to your laptop. Saves bandwidth if that is an issue also should be a lot faster.

I am curious about what you want people to actually do.
You are on very low level characters, go to low level zones and hit things. If you die, respawn (it is incredibly cheap to use the waypoints at that level). If the equipment that you get from each level up does not do enough buy very very cheap armour and weapons off the TP.
You can get to 80 only doing map completion and be at 80 with about 40% of the map done so you have lots of training space.

Firstly, grats.
Second do you actually like the skin for twilight?
If yes look at the guide, figure out what crafting levels you will need and plan your time around dungeon runs for a while.
Personally I dislike twilight so the answer for me is easy.
