Not surprising considering there’s no benefit to run it once you’ve gotten your achievements and can just park an alt at the top to run the instance or to open the chest with your daily key.
I must be missing something.. what daily key do you get at the top of the tower?
You don’t get a daily key at the top. You CAN however park a character with a couple of those instant bank access consumables at the chest. Use another character to buy one complete key per day and bank it (account bound). Then switch to the character at the chest, use bank access to get the key and open the chest.
What a waste of instant bank access.
I will lose all respect for anyone in charge of anet story writing if scarlet can get the sons of svanir, the misogynists who would never take orders from a woman. I would say they wouldn’t listen to any thing non norn either, but hey, krait working with nonkrait happened, so, yay screw lore.
She’s just gonna put a fake beard and moustache on.
Honestly, after getting all the achievements, I don’t really have a reason to go again.
I actually am starting to understand the story somewhat, but I would really like to get some more backstory on Scarlet, and would like to know why she is doing this, and what is her endgame.
What story?
She’s bad and crazy, so she manipulated two races of villains to build a tower in order to… do what exactly? Nothing.
The mobs are lvl 80+ (I’ve seen lvl 83).
They hit pretty hard. It’s probably gonna be harder for up-leved characters.
I lol’ed.
15chars…
It’s not necessary but it makes the job easier.
If one guy falls there are several people to get him up in a second.
I still don’t get why it’s not just resettable like skill points.
When they release the new wvw overflow, there should be no more queue right?
Oh, there will be queues. Sure, you’re gonna be able to play WvW-like content while waiting but you’ll still have to “queue” for one of the real WvW maps. Those that count for the season.
If you don’t care about the season, you’ll be happy in the overflow map, I guess.
If you want to do 1 vs 1, go PvP…
guys, guys, guys.
World Of Warcraft has as of this year, over 7 MILLION subscribers still active (according to mmodata.blogspot.com. And that game has been in existence for nine full years.
Unlike Guild Wars 2, World of Warcraft has not got nearly as advanced graphics, voice acting, or any of the other advanced features that this game has. Additionally World of Warcraft has been coming out with story content almost continuously since its release in an effort to keep its subscribers happy.
Guild Wars 2 does not have subscribers in the way that World of Warcraft does. As such they are not as dependent on making their viewers happy the same way as Blizzard is. That said, unlike World of Warcraft who is probably slowly running out of ideas for new content, Guild Wars has a CRAP TON of stuff already available to it that we haven’t even seen yet.
1. We have as of now only defeated ONE out of SIX Elder Dragons. Two of them we aren’t even sure actually exist as more than just hear say. That is Five Full Scale Updates right there. Each with a possibility of a level cap increase and or new weapons and skills.
2. Elona is cut off from Tyria thanks to Palawa Joko. We will probably need to go in and deal with that issue as well. Probably even to the point of dealing with the Margonites a second time.
3. Cantha is cut off from Tyria, and possibly under the sway of yet another evil Emperor. Heck Shiro might have returned again somehow for all we know. Being dead already he has some advantages on the immortality deal.
4. There are at least SIX missing Gods to figure out at least for the Humans. The Norn have their Spirits to figure out. And the Asura have the whole Eternal Alchemy thing to figure out. Then the Sylvari still seem to have unresolved issues with the Nightmare Court. Not to mention the Charr’s issues with the Flame Legion. Those unresolved issues could be yet another content update.Truth be told we have a whole lot we can still do in this game that has yet to be released.
ArenaNet have already said they don’t have any plans for an expansion at this point.
So, yeah, there’s a lot of potential but they’re not working on it.
All they do is bring us more and more inconsequential living stories.
All. Anything can roam solo
Have you ever roamed solo as a guardian?
Come on, you know it’s gonna be something worthless. Except for the Karka precursor deblacle, rewards in this game are NEVER good.
There is no queue in GW2.
As a guardian I can tell you that guardians are bad roamers. We get killed by any other class.
Just roll a warrior, they can do anything.
(edited by Zanshin.5379)
The plan is to make WvW so annoying that when the new map comes you’ll be super glad to play them.
ArenaNet devs love warriors. Even if they “nerf” them, they’re still gonna be one of the top class.
This achievement is obviously broken.
I keep saying the game is boring.
People in my guild just stop playing one after another.
The precursor hunt doesn’t exist anymore. Now they want you to craft them.
It’s probably gonna be time gated, like ascended weapons. It’s probably gonna take so long that it will be faster to farm gold and buy the precursor.
I’ve gotten the lover dawn and dusk out the forge I dont understand why cant get precursors or people say there so hard to get I got the lover used that money to buy mats towards legendar I then got dawn out the forge using rare swords but I didnt need dawn as I was making twilight so needed dusk and was impatient so I use all that gold to buy rare swords and made dusk all in two day span so I dont see why people cant get pre cursors I got three out forge no problem using rares the lover was with zero magic find gear out of the forge before the magic find change and the other two were with 92% magic find with the new changes so I dont know what to say.
You got 3 precursors and now you think it’s easy?
Study a little statistics before talking next time.
I wasn’t thinking about farming laurels when I created the thread.
I just feel that with 40 laurels per month, some people who can’t play every day are left behind.
Also, if you have more than one character, how can you gear all of them?
If ArenaNet wanted people to play only one character, they should have said so at the beginning. With all this time gating, it really seems you’re not supposed to play several characters.
People tend to forget what the class itself is all about, and just see numbers, percentages, ect.
As a Warrior yeah I have good sustain/dmg/survivability ect. But we do get most of our mobility through our weapons, such as the GS and Sword skills, We have a lot of hp because unlike Guardians we can not cleanse or give ourselves buffs like protection on demand, ect. and I have seen some freakishly fast moving Guardians so don’t give me the whole, “We’re slow blah blah” crap because that is bull-kitten… Use a staff, us retreat shout, ect.
Are you seriously comparing the crappy 8 second buff speed from the staff (oh wait, they’re nerfing it to 4 now) with all the warrior mobility skills?
And why do you even high HP to begin with? Because you can’t cleanse?
Please. Guardians cleanse through a trait which forces them to use their shout utilities. What if I don’t want to use my utility? Well, too bad, gotta cleanse.
Warriors have high dps and high survivability at the same time. Why do you have both ends of the spectrum? Sure, guardians can dps but we have to give up our survivability. DPS builds have less vitality, less toughness and have to sacrifice the ability to cleanse through shouts.
Devs say the guardian is supposed to be defensive so they can’t give him too much offense. Well, warriors are supposed to be offensive, why do you get to get good defense too?
Again and again, all we see is the devs loooooove the warrior and could care less about the guardian. Even in their videos, they look so bored when talking about the guardian.
That is a great idea, but what about those that spent tons of gold and time to buy/earn keys up till now?
Too bad for you.
At the time laurels were introduced, there were less things to exchange them for. Now they’re used in PvE and WvW. Isn’t it time to add some new ways to earn laurels?
If you are dealing with a lengty queue and someone from your guild or friend has been queue’d for a while, join his group, join his map, join the same queue. When his queue pops, so will your queue.
We’ve tried that several times. Never worked.
Once we even had a guy who had been waiting for like 20 minutes, another guildie joined his group, queued and got in immediately while the first one was still in queue.
Remove it in PvE. Keep it in PvP.
Warriors have high damage, high mobility and high survivability at the same time.
Guardians have high survivability and if they want to deal more damage, they have to drop their survivability.
I don’t get it. It seems the devs don’t care about this class.
Why are guardian changes always so boring?
I know devs say it’s the most balanced class but come on, it never feels exciting.
Nobody should be able to roam solo, come face to face with a group, fight them head on, maybe kill one of them, then just go his merry way unscathed.
There have been a lot of stealthy classes in MMO’s but none that had the ability to stealth for so long and so often. This nerf was bound to happen.
One green. One blue. A hundred badges. Some empyreal fragments. One gold coin.
Commander ratings won’t happen because of trolls.
Commander ratings could easily be done. Add a new option to Y for rating, add voting to right click on portrait. You only get one vote per comm. Give people an option to view the rating in game.
The commander’s guild mates will vote him up.
If he is in conflict with another guild, the other guild players will vote him down.
I would actually love a way to down vote bad commanders because we have some crazy and stupid ones on my world (Fort Ranik). It’s not gonna happen, though.
Most useless class in WvW?
Thoughts?
Been asked for a long time. Never got an answer.
With basically every single thief playing perma stealth in WvW, you had to know you were going to be nerfed hard at some point.
I’m gonna be so happy when they finally nerf your perma stealth OP class.
What made it fun? That you owned every other class in 1 vs 1?
I agree with all of it. Not just parts of the OP’s post. No. All of it. And I have leveled up all three weaponcrafts and made several ascended weapons. I’m sick of it. It dumbs down my builds and is in no way “fun”. And don’t tell me I now “only” do 5% more damage. It’s much, much more.
I cannot believe this. After posting the above, a user named Sinoran.9140 messages me the following in game:
Report him.
My bank : half of it came from boxes. Forget to use em, don’t wanna destroy em. Let alone pay for more lol. Except the karma boosters I use those and lose even more bank space for the flasks. Argh!
The problems of modern man…how do i cope?
Use you flasks. Karma boosters don’t work on them anymore.
I get why people want to do it. I also get why Arenanet might want to nerf it.
Do you get why people keep telling ArenaNet hates farming?
They keep defending themselves, saying it’s not true, but the anti-farming nerfs keep coming.
There’s a difference between being entertained and being occupied.
Basically Anet is keeping us occupied. We have nothing to do so they give us things to do, because otherwise we might stop playing and if we stop playing we stop buying things. They’re forgetting that this is a game and that games should be entertaining.
I’m being entertained while being occupied. It can happen.
You should stop lumping a whole community in with your personal opinion. If you feel like you’re only being occupied and not entertained, you should most likely word your statement a little differently.
What has this living story brought to us?
A 3 minute solo instance, going around the map to press F and Zergs where people yell at other people for attacking champions that are not corrupted yet. What else?
I’m not saying I’m not entertained sometimes.
I’m saying, instead of releasing so many half-a**ed updates so fast they could take more time and come up with better stuff.

I dont get whats so HUGE about a landscape change? If that tower was a JP or a dungeon…that would have been impressive.
The chain of events isn’t finished. We will most likely enter the tower at some point. We just don’t know what it’s gonna be.
The description is wrong. It should say “harvest 20 seedlings” instead of “collect 20 spore samples”.
Did you get the achievement, too?
It counted as 1.
That’s why I was suprised.
Go to Beetletun Farms, you can easily get the 20 harvests in this spot.
It’s not a matter of it being hard or easy. It’s that the description “Collect 20 spore samples” is wrong.
(edited by Zanshin.5379)
I harvested the same seedling 4 times and got 20 spore samples in one go.
Yes, that’s what I’m saying.
Either :
1) the description is wrong and should say “Harvest 20 toxic seedlings” or
2) the achievement is bugged and every pristine toxic spore sample should be counted, not just one.
I see now that it increments each time you “do the action of collecting”.
Which is not what the text says: Collect 20 spore samples.
Gathered 20. Only 1 was counted for the daily.
A few guild mates are starting to leave the game because it’s “boring”.
Sure, there are living stories released every 2 weeks but they’re boring. Zergs are boring. Farming is boring. Going around the world to press F on an object is boring. And when there’s something fun, it goes away after a couple weeks.
I’ve already said and I’ll say again: a living story every 2 weeks is too fast. You don’t have time to develop something really captivating and fun. All you do is churn out inconsequential content like you’re in a factory.
Please, do something. I don’t want my friends to leave.
