I was angry like everyone else that I had to unlock all 400 points to play my elite spec…. turns out thats not the case and I just didnt know… you have to put the thing in the bottom trait line in order to pick the elite. This whole time….. embarrassing…
and you have a weak character gz cause you lack on traits….
I’m one of those people who are frustrated and disappointed with the elite spec unlock process, but I love love love the more challenging aspect of the new zones. I just want to play it with a new spec. The way it’s set up, I will have played the new zones over and over with my old spec before I can try out the new one.
Reducing the argument to “you don’t want to work for it/you just want it handed to you” is a very shallow way to look at it.
Good you liked the others features, this is great, so be patience and you will get the points to elite, I dont have mine points yet, I have to work hard to get it, but I am happy because now I have a game full of real challenges to me.
on how many alt you project to earn the spec?

No worries, use that £850 desktop to player witcher 3: 100 hours of gameplay, all in good fun.
Or Fallout 4!
and soon blade and soul ( may be the gw2 killer for me from the same company)
If you make the game easier
To do the same boring grinding stuff for multiple alts isnt a matter about easy or hard content…
Elite specialization grind literally has nothing to do with the difficulty of the game. #think
I am talking about all aspects that people are complaning, not only elite.
but most that complain , complain about mindless spec grind and that are mostly NOT casusals and got about 9+ full equipped alts
and at mess up (many of) the wvw players will show the radiant pve heroes which one is the casual one
sorry but you completly failed on this topic….

It a goal to earn while exploring the harshness of the jungle.
over and over again ………. #snore
C: HoT destroys the core game.
A: Wrong. If an MMO launches a Expansion, there is no “Core Game” anymore, it is called the Vanilla Version of it. The Core Game now is the Game plus the Expansion, which is why a Expansion is again no p2w Element . It is also the reason why all the really good rewards and other things are transfered into a Expansion and if they are not, a Expansion will just add so many more powerful and valuable things, that in the progress Vanilla content will get obsolete on its own. Guild Wars 2 has related to that still a outrageous good Vanilla Content
sorry but this is only quibbling at his best…
Nice objective post.
and @ Einlanzer you call a ( if good or bad isnt the point!!) personally sight on the topic from te OP as objective. really? O.o
An personal assesesment cant never be objective and there is a lot of personally assesement in Ops “answers”.
the fact that you agree with OP doesnt make something objective.

play the trading post game
other ways are all nerfed out now
(edited by Zaron.1987)
Basic economics guys.
Everybody’s income was lowered. […]
If only. In fact, only the income of people that actually played the game got lowered.
People that did 1-2 fotm’s a day, some dungeon paths now and then and may be a round of sw events still got some reasonable coin after all.
Now they get a kick in their balls.
The only ones that won’t really be affected at all are the TP flippers.
excactly this!
Any skill challenges that you did out in the world (now Hero Challenges), those points where converted into the new HP (not shards).
Essentially the only existing skill points that got converted into spirit shards were those “in excess” of the calculation for the HPs given to you for your current level + challenges completed. So, any you got from “leveling” after 80, or from popping skill point scrolls were what got converted.
I see… Well I mostly farmed skill points in PvP and stuff. I had about 200 in my inventory (I kept them in my inventory in case I changed my mind about my favorite elite spec) and I guess those are now spirit shards…
yes cause as i wrote this are spirit shards now at every players account
There should be 200+ core map hp to earn in the world. If you do not want to earn them, the jungle now has 40 hp also, but jungle points give you 10hp per one.
The change your talking about mean, at level 80 you have enough HP to max your core skills.Yeah I did some research before posting this :P
I know about the HP that you can find in the jungle, but that’s not my point. I saved up all those skill points to unlock as much as I could from the beginning but now I’m stuck with those spirit shards and I’m not looking forward to grinding all those HP again
You missed nothing cause they transform the skill point not earned by heroe point ( old name skill point challenges) into spirit shards at EVERY players account..
even if you logged in on the day it was changed or short time before its the same result now
—> all have to deal with it; you havent missed the skill point revamp
i had a terrible end to my evening. after a game of Mad King says I tried to open the chest up and guess what, i get teleported and it ate my key. not only that in a bit of frustration i accidentally salvaged my Nightwing. Be patient kids. Dont go on a sugar rush and get over excited.
are you sure it eat your key cause you can open the chest only once a day
Gaile I just wanted to point out that since this announcement has been made I have not seen one commander tag in the labyrinth (I was able to run around a little bit last night with a commander before I realized I wasn’t gaining any xp)
At this point unless you already got the doors and the big legendary mobs done, you’re not going to complete the meta, there’s just so few people actually doing the labyrinth, and I’m talking primetime on a Friday night
You might as well cancel halloween at this point if it’s not going to be fixed. Fixing it sooner rather than later and then extending the event would actually get people doing it.
.
they havent done it at modrem invasion and already said they dont do it now
if people dont finish meta they really dont care about (look at potions at modrem invasion and the grind on it with noone normal player could finished)

Someone on Reddit said that it was every two hours on the hour. Odd hours for UK time, even hours for CEST.
And remember that this sunday Europe will go back to normal time… So, everything should shift one hour.
About the glorious chests, it’s at least once per day per character… I switched characters when my bags were full (easier than cleaning the bags out ;p) and I could open those chests again.
ty for the clarification ( to both of you)
Considering here have been no new dungeons, or even paths, in YEARS, the only thing that kept the content interesting, aside from the small group size and ease of filling a party, was the loot, however sad and underwhelming it might have been, it was a stable source of a little income that could be acquired while doing the type of content that I enjoyed, with a small group of friends, on a daily basis.
I only commenting on this paragraph, because I didn’t read the rest, too long.
As you said Anet has not done anything with dungeons in years. That is a prime example that they are trying to phase out the content. That being said, if you enjoy GW2 then follow their game plan, instead of dungeons they are pushing fractals. They are a better experience than dunegons, more variety, better rewards, more group-coordination, etc. Fractals are just essential mini-dungeons. Now with fractal leaderboards and that they scale up to 100, fractals are a great medium.
I’d encourage you to take that small group of friends into fractals instead and work together as you scale up. It will be MUCH more rewarding when you guys get certain milestones like 30, 50, 80, and 100 fractal than completing an out of date dungeon.
I would love to do fractals sadly I don’t have HoT which is required to do it:c why Anet why!! Fractals was my love!
you can also do fractals without HoT but your reward is nothing but dont worry cause
We come from nothing, we are going back to nothing-In the end what have we lost? Nothing!’ -Monty Python-^^
Sure, there’s no MMO without grind, but they could not have removed the experience gains from Halloween stuff from giving mastery progression. Many of us were planning on using the halloween as a jump start for those masteries, instead of having to just repeat content.
its a kind of timegate. same as the exp reduce at dungeons.
Anet dont want that all rush their (tyria) masteries in few days and lacking content.
They’d be lacking content just as much as without it. All it does is redistribute where the lack of content is so that it happens earlier.
of course but its a nice trick to conceal it for the first moments
someone knows if their is a schedule when the mad king says always starts?
havent found it at guildwiki or was too stupid to find it
The discussions said that they were reducing liquid rewards from dungeons (and confirmed loot from mobs/bosses would not be changed) and moved to fractals/raids, so if anything, fractals should have increased.
the increase is that they stay at the old level ^^ may be you even get 10 silver more than before IF you have unlock the mastery ( HoT required)

Didn’t ctrl+shift+h (or whatever you bound it to) work in char select, anyway?
dont know if it still works but before it does indeed!
ahhhhhhh, dang. That really blows, haha. I can understand why they did, but I’m not thrilled about it, lol.
Ah well…
They actually nerfed the core game to death, you have to do much more brainless grind to earn gold now…
—> but dont forget to purchase HoT first
Returning player here, just wondering what kind of nerf are talking about? I Google’d about it, but couldn’t find anything solid.
My question is – did they nerf the Daily Dungeon reward? I think that’s what you call it.
like everyday after you finish the dungeon once (first time of the day) you get a bonus chest with 1g+ gold, did they nerf that as well?Thank You!
instead of 1g you get now about 30s
and also the exp earned by dungeon is nerfed
Lets take a look at the recent past
Key farm nerf
Dungeon nerf
Fractal nerf (for core gamers may be you can unlock old rewards with mastery=buying hot)
ToT nerf
(EotM)
whats also old/core game profit content?
CS Farm
SW farm ( event and cf)
4 (or 5) done , 2 left to do … for krait justice and the economy
still wondering why the new map rewards arent also locked behind HoT…
(edited by Zaron.1987)
People cried for the end of the berserker meta, Anet took it a step further and straight up killed dungeons. Lol.
Not precisely what people desired. However, this is more just a ploy to make more people purchase HoT, and is just a very cheap tactic.
but the tactic works …. on first examination :/
Dungeons
Dungeon rewards have been rebalanced to more accurately reflect the time needed to complete them. Experience and gold awarded for completing a dungeon have been reduced.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-October-23-2015
Got these rewards in AC P1:
1. Event window after cutscene:
- 26 Silver
- 66.675 Experience Points
- 20 Tears2. Chest:
- 50 Silver
- 40 TearsSame for AC P3!
I think we can confirm a 66% reduction of the daily gold income in dungeons.
(edited by Zaron.1987)
stop skirting around the answer when you already know it.
Its farmed for a reason with its volume of mobs and events. Now add the xp you get from it to masteries and you can see the problems. So they just ommited it
The flaw with this general logic is that the same can be achieved by speed clearing dungeon paths. Was that also omitted?
dungeon paths experienced was also nerfed today ( with the gold nerf)
you need now almost 3 paths for one level instead of one path one level
(edited by Zaron.1987)
Nice jest. The bosses drop faster than ever before, stop button mashing and you won’t die.
This
It was already melting last year like butter and even more faster this year!
*Mount Maelstrom:
*Due to the weight of players, boxes surrounding the Golem Mark II have collapsed. Workers have carted their remnants away.Wow Anet, I can’t even get the launcher to start and you are calling the players fat >.>
That patch wording made me smile.
now ask for mesmer portals^^
Now that we have Balm nerfed, can we nerf TP flipping?
Because ToT was not as harming as TP flipping is.
now you Tot farmers know how we key farmer and also the dungeon runners feel…
btw we duplicate it atm
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/No-Mastery-EXP-in-the-Labyrinth/first#post5640930
we should wrote at one thread cause its the same topic
I haven’t logged in yet, and can’t until after work, but have you done the HoT story that unlocks masteries yet? In the beta you had to do the story first. Which btw, doesn’t give you the unlock if you die and exit to verdant brink before completing.
thats not the problem .
we´ve done this before and at normal tyria maps we can level the masteries , only at lab it dont work. may be to stop players rushing masteries ( also dungeons gives less exp now)
so now instead of standing on a box and auto attacking, people will auto attack for 20 seconds to get credit then go afk out of range
brilliant
You won’t get event credit any more if you don’t participate for a while.
you will. I doubt anet changed the system that extreme way. same at taidha ( all were died after 10 sec 11111 and also get their reward today as always) :/
auto attack for 20 seconds—> die —> dont port--> grabb a cup of coffee —> watch how hard it is for the players to compensate you and the other slacking afk deads-->golem die—> let you rezz—> get your shinies
Its the same point as the xp reduce at dungeons. anet dont want that we rush our masteries in minutes to the end
sadly can confirm this

Would I get a steam cd key from that site? Is that a legit site?
its a marketplace/website that also selling gold . use it at your own risk it can be all fine but dont Q.Q if your account is banned cause of fraudulent payment.
i personally would never buy at this side even if i trust them cause i dont want to promote gold selling and also i dont want to support oblique account hacking which most of the gold is from.
the veteran slot delivery day is on friday once per week
—> you will get it tomorrow
I just hope, OP didnt use his activation key as account name, otherwise i would contact support to change it for security reasons……
luckily it should be not the activation code
we had the same issue with one player in german forum for some weeks and a GM said it was an internal generic code and not the acitvation code. and it looked the same way!
but Op should contact the support cause the length of the account name A3ED304E-3CDA-4AAB-BB8F-08B5A134710C also cause problems and suppport will fix it for you.
(edited by Zaron.1987)
There were some datamined sword and dagger that look like belindas greatsword but smaller. Maybe in HoT. Also what the hell is up with your account name? lol
its an error.
you (=TO) have to contact support instead of your chosen Account Name the system add an generic code and show it as your account name.
There were few people with the same issue at the past. Not the fail oft the TO
To say this protect from credit card fraud is funny. If that was true they would block the real money store and not the game money store to protect from credit card fraud.
Just read before posting….
First : you CANT send links by pn that you can activate by clicking. you have to copy the text, open your browser and paste it!
second: the message at the end of pns that its send from and player and not anet is big enough. or you really want popups at every pn we get so that 99% of players have to click them angry away to protect the1% not so clever ones that are too lazy or too much at panic mode to read until the end of the pn ? O.o (btw at panic mode they also would click the popup away without reading!!)
third: you really want more censorship and filtering in game? for me the kitten ( also for normal and not verbal abusing words in forum is silly enough dont need that ingame too! O.o
(edited by Zaron.1987)
It was Colins fail cause he chosen ArenaNetColin instead of ArenaColin
This is exactly what happened to me, except I didn’t even purchase HoT at all. MY account was hacked shortly before it got banned and when it was recovered, it received a free HoT preorder. I received all the goodies like the glider skin and the mini. At first I thought that this was some form of compensation from ArenaNet but it appears as though I got banned for it.
Your friend really thought he get HoT for free from anet cause he got hacked ( by its own fail cause there are still no server hacks at arena nets side ever out now!) O.o
Why should anet reward people with at least 50$ for lacking security issues at players side?
wow … just wow
and he have to go on discussing his issue with customer support, thats the people that can help.
and btw if i read his story it was no randomly ban
(edited by Zaron.1987)
I want cosmetic mount$$$$$$$$$$. Don’t care for movement speed or not, My Guardian character is tired of walking.
Did you buy riding broom and carpet then? Those cosmetic mount. If arena net will sell more cosmetic mount people need to buy one already there to show they want. I almost do not see ever people use the cosmetic mount arena net already sell. Maybe demand is not as much as people think.
No they were ugly, so you are telling me that you wont buy a mordremoth dragon to ride on? Its a plain and simple lie :P
No cause this mordremoth dragon as a mount would look ugly so i am telling to you that i dont would ride on it O.o
Its a kind like Homer Simpsons:
Ooh, A Talking Moose Wants My Credit Card Number, That’s Only Fair
Neverwinter has (had?) a nifty “gateway” that would run in a web browser. You couldn’t play the game proper but you could do lots of the admin tasks on your account. The equivalent tasks in GW would be stuff like crafting, i TP trading
But, yes, there is scope for a mobile or browser-based GW spin-off. Imagine being able to access your bags, the TP and your ‘H’ panel on your phone. ?
yeah the wet dream of all traders…. 24/7 play the trading post game
they have no need to login ever back in the game then^^
(edited by Zaron.1987)
I think i will indeed do that. But i really think that GW2 shoud search for key legitimacy befor accepting it!! thats no sence here…
think about this scenario:
In 2 weeks anet found out that the keys were bought with stolen credit card informations by the seller cause the legal owner order an chargeback.
2 weeks are fictional timeline but how should anet check the key legitimacy beforde accepting the key if at this moment all seems legit cause the legit owner dont know someone using his credit card at this moment?
edit: Iculpatus already post the same while i was tipping
