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?

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….

Why your complaint is wrong or right

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.

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.

Missed the skill points revamp, am I screwed?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Zaron.1987

Zaron.1987

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

Halloween Event Info

Zaron.1987

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)

Dungeons and Fractals Nerfed to Death

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Zaron.1987

Zaron.1987

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

Tyrian Mastery Tracks need a change in EXP

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Zaron.1987

Zaron.1987

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

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)

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

ToT nerf

whats also old/core game profit content?

4 (or 5) done , 2 left to do … for krait justice and the economy

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 :/

MK Labyrinth no Mastery progression

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 Tears

2. Chest:
- 50 Silver
- 40 Tears

Same for AC P3!

I think we can confirm a 66% reduction of the daily gold income in dungeons.

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

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)

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

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

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?
