People are antagonizing each other because they think people who would like banks to be able to still store gold ontop of the wallet feature dislike the wallet feature altogether. But in reality, in the entire thread only 1 person hate the idea of the account wallet. Most others like the idea of the wallet but dislike only the shared gold part.
I sure hope those of you who are against the storeable gold idea do not make mistakes later on. Keep in mind, issues that involve accidental purchases, accidental mail are NOT refunded by Anet——even if they are caused by lags and server errors.
And also, when those same people earn enough gold past 2k-3k mark. They will start to feel as paranoid as the rest of us.
I am curious if the loot table includes items from retired sources such Azurite and Azurite orbs.
There’s also instances where items in the tp are priced way above their normal price range. For example there are rare weapons that are priced 10 times the normal price and 1-2 normal priced item ontop of them. People who are forging precursors might accidentally buy stacks and buy the ridiculously priced one along without knowing. Some people do these kinds of things to take advantage of others…..
How exactly do personal guild vaults work? More specifically, can you accidentally disband the guild and lose the vault contents? Or do you have to empty a vault first to disband the guild?
wait, so we can’t put money in the bank any more? What if I’m stupid and make a typo on the TP etc etc?
That happened to someone while I was porting with my mesmer in a jp chest, he accidentally sent me 20g, I clicked the “return to sender” thinngy and he explained he got excited and sent on accident.
I remember back in November last year when my guild leader got hacked, he lost everything in his bank but all of his orders were untouched. He retained some of his money this way.
Since they are removing the safety of putting our gold in the bank…
Aside from personal guild vault, another option to store gold is via the tp order feature. Simply order items that are ridiculously expensive but put significantly lower order price for each item.
Example: If you have 4000g, you can place an order of 80 Bifrosts for 50g each. (You can also spread the order around)
Just be careful with the numbers you are putting in the order form, because you know… accidents do happen…
… so me and 3 other mesmers in group spent more than 2 hours trying to get this thing (porting each other up and serving as checkpoints too) and we ended up giving up in the end… got to the goggles several times but that blind jump is evil…
Anyone else share the same frustration? =[
I love this idea, and it’s gonna save a lot of bank space with regards to wvw badges and dungeon tokens but I really wish they didn’t do it with gold.
Why? Because I like my gold being safe in the bank to prevent accidental expensive purchases on tp or accidental excessive gold sent to someone via mail. Now I feel very very paranoid about this….
Please do this with badges, tokens and relics but not gold.
I finally got the 2500, after 46 games…
Whew… now I can get back to doing other stuff I actually like.
You had to kill 24 plunderers… o___o
I am so happy I got this done and over with (solo) a while back when it wasn’t this hard to do. I remember killing only 11-14 plunderers at t4, I think it’s because I didn’t kill them as fast as you did, I damaged them and used condition damage so they died slower, that way more time was wasted, less plunderers would spawn. (the plunderers won’t respawn if they are still alive).
Also, when I did mine, I remember only seeing 2 spawn spots… your vid shows 3, did the patch made it that way too?
i’ve gotten my 2,500 / 2,500 points just by playing casually.
not sure what is wrong with the ones who kept complaining.
Seeing as 98% of your last 40 posts are regarding Southsun Survival minigame, I can kinda tell you really like Hunger Games… a lot…
Sure Evon only choose any option that best serves his own personal interest….
However, in elections, people vote for the candidate who can best serve their own “personal interests”
In elections, we all act like Evon…
It is doable, (especially since you can sometimes get highest score as a ghost) but because of this 2500 requirement, I know a lot of us are steered to “hate this minigame… once I finish this achievement I never want to step foot in this minigame ever again” sentiment. How can this affect the future return rotation of this minigame?
I know the 2500 number was set so there’s higher influx of players throughout the event duration and playing population does not die down the first several days or so. But it can also have the opposite effect.
… is a bit much. =‘[
For a two-week event duration, the 2500 is a little unforgiving for those of us who find more enjoyment in other aspects of the game such as wvw and spvp, and still have to do stuff like daily, guild activities, etc. I’ve completed all Living Story achievements to 100%, got almost 8k achievement points, but this particular one is the most worrisome out of all of them so far. I know some people already got the 2500 points—- I am trying to get that, but the repetitiveness required to get there is … meh…
Please lower the 2500 requirement, or make this achievement available for completion during the bi-weekly rotation of Southsun Survival in the future.
I estimated I would need to play 14-20 hours just to get the 2500 points for this achievement. I hope they will make it so this achievement is still doable after the event is over during the weekly mini rotation…… otherwise… not cool…
Thaumanova Reactor incident is most likely related to the Asuran Portal technology. I think when someone uses an Asuran portal gate to travel from one place to another, they have to travel through a “tunnel” that exist in another dimension. This dimension is connected to the rifts created when the reactor blew.
Will these still be doable/completable after the Cutthroat Politics event arc? Will the achievements still be the same after they get moved to the Activities tab?
You can also do the daily pvp, they count as daily representation. That way you can do 2 daily per day. You can finish both in 3 days this way.
Anyone else having issues with disappearing Cutthroat Politics mail and their contents? I did not take out my mails contents and the mail disappeared. I believe they each have tickets of some sort. (and no my mailbox isn’t full)
If they refund my magical infusion and change existing magic find % stats on armors/trinkets into increase gold from monsters % I think I would be contented.
I don’t think they already told us yet whether the method they are adding to obtain precursors will include the precursors that are already in the market or are they new of precursors for the legendaries they are adding. I won’t be surprised if they do this to preserve the integrity/rarity of current legendaries while giving players who already have legendaries as well as people people who don’t have them yet both reasons to make the new ones at the same time. I won’t be surprised if the new ones will be account-bound on craft also.
ooh, nice, thanks, Trice!
Are you going to make it available for purchase using gems in BLTC?
Or is it limited only to those who used real money to buy gems in the past?
Get Bifrost. Later on they plan to make legendaries accountbound so you can share their use on all your toons. If you get a staff both of them can use it in the future.
Don’t forget you can get charged quartz (rare) from mining the node in your home instance. I got 2 from home node so far.
@ OP just the hate the ppl saying you should stop “winning” but do not direct your hate to the others who finish first but are generous enough to wait for others to get the achievement…. they reached the end first, they can do what they want.
The black lion mining picks are really worth using on the home nodes.
I got my first place achievement because two people were kind enough to wait before the finish spot because they already have the title. I thought they were very kind and unselfish…. never thought I’d see people view them as cheaters…..
After I got my achievement I stayed along to help others get their first place title as well, and after a while there were 6 of just helping others.
I don’t understand how people would dislike people who help others not get frustrated to the max attempting this luck based minigame.
I lol’d.
But yeah, in order to do a successful long jump from those mini obelisk to another you gotta wait for the skill to blink. Once it blinks, you are ready to do those jumps, otherwise you will be performing a normal, lower distance jump.
If it helps: sometimes Horrik’s cannon will hit you even if you don’t stand in aoe, but just by being in font of him as he shoots.
It just makes me so sad/mad that this achievement and the lazer achievement can be obtained by lazy players who purposely die near the beginning and stay dead til the end…… ugh…. ppl who did all the work don’t get rewarded sometimes…
I feel like the duration of getting Sky Pirates achievement is too short (considering the difficulty of getting the dungeon achievements). Please extend it even if it’s just a couple of days. Make it end in July 10 not on 8th please.
I loved the new cutscene. SOOOO STYLISTIC. And the characters finally have attitude.
I opened a couple thousands then gave up. But yesterday I had 4 from drop and opened them and got a weapon ticket.
Why always consider “Need moar xfers!” as the only option in order to “win”? Why not do wvw workshops and trainings like SoR is doing? Or recruit more wvwers from within your servers? JQ and BG are both FULL at the moment (SoR isn’t even full).
Sometimes quality is better than quantity. IRON already proved that with 30 ppl on their initial transfer. And you know something is not right when you have full queues but still getting owned in maps.
Some things have to change and “more transfer” shouldn’t be the only option.
Do some guild re-structuring….
Moar xfers!
Moar arrowcarts!
^Those won’t always work
All these QQ about getting 2v1’d in EB….
It’s simple really. Whoever shows the Outmanned buff first will invite an attack from both sides. I’ve never seen BG with the buff more frequently than in the past few days. It just seemed like most BG only wvw if they are winning or close to winning, and just give up when they are not. That’s not good, especially with the new rating system coming up where you snooze 1 week and you drop a tier.
Lol. I can’t stop laughing. The most I’ve seen IRON fielded was 20-25 member per map and yet you read about all these QQ’s and panic and ‘omg their eu coverage is now superstacked’. This is just priceless. BG got thousands of new transfer several weeks ago. Now SoR got no more than 70 IRON’s and bam! the paranoia and panic ensues.
Just have fun and play for the moment.
Zero drama forever
They don’t appeal to me. A lot of ppl are wanting them solely because of how hard it was to get them buuuut they look average.
And a lot of these limited items will probably be added later. Remember the limited collector’s edition gw2? Yeah…. turned out to be not limited at all..
It looks nice with Kudzu legendary bow.
History in the making. Some quick facts about SoR.
- We began 17th place, and are now projected for 1st place.
- We have never dropped down a tier only risen.
- We have only ever dropped a rank within a tier twice (both times in T1 from 2nd to 3rd).
- Every major guild that has joined SoR competes in WvW and has never left.
- Our TeamSpeak is 2nd most active server in NA and 10th world wide averaging 250 people an hour and just under 2600 users.
You forgot to add
- SoR has never bought/bribed a wvw guild unlike ____________
I just wanna say the [IRON] peeps are awesome. Even though there’s no more than 25 of them roaming together at maps every time they still kick butt.
Also, the arrowcart nerf is coming soon and I know Blackgate will not be liking that nerf.
I want a speedo/swimsuit skin too but I am worried they might do it like they did jetpack again with the extremely low droprate.
I gave up and bought the jetpack for 145g off of tp. There’s only about 20 left…. it gave me a sense of weird buyers remorse after buying it though…
I went ahead and bought the jetpack… there’s only a few left in tp and a couple of days left for dungeon. I got my jetpack but it feels anticlimactic.

^ they will add speedo skins?
The tradeable jetpack right now is 145g each. I figured I’ll just use that 145g to get a precursor or two =/
Also those who are complaining about the drop rate really need to stop QQing.
The idea behind it was to be a unique item that only a few people have. If everyone could get the jetpack, then everyone would be wearing it and no one would like it because it is not unique. I really like the idea behind limited extremely rare items in the game. I personally was able to buy mine for 60g the day of the patch. I knew the price would double, so I sold everything in my bank just to get one. I don’t think ANET should cater to everyone baby out there who wants everything handed to them.
Translation:
I got mine already. Those who don’t have one yet should stop complaining. Anet shouldn’t make it easier for everyone else so that I can feel unique and special.
This seem to happen mostly when someone rush and talks to Braham the very second 3/3 bombs planted shows.
Just wait like 10 seconds before talking to Braham after the last bomb is planted.
Back lion keys can drop.
I’ve looted one off an invader loot in wvw.
