Anet, when are we getting a howler fix?

Yeah keep bumping this. And the threads in the bug section. If this topic stays at the top long enough maybe we have a shot to get it fixed.

its just a feature not a bug^^

at gaming market linux isnt all but not the winner at OS ( gaming) race

its still an niche product at pc gaming

and the mac one is also a no native client btw . stop Q.Q

My Answer is

yes
no
maybe

noone knows out now

Menadena.7482:

Aww, I really feel for you. All that treasure is SUCH a burden. Two solutions:

a) do not farm chests in the first place
b) delete those equipment bags after getting the crests and such

I regularly have around 70 free slots in the open world and could have more if I wanted. No, that is not extra bag slots … just regularly cleaning up junk I do not need with me. It allows me to go to several world bosses and open all the loot without worry.

THIS

In RL hoarders also claim they have no space in their house to hoard more things or even in the garden

Rising Dusk.2408:

I think it’s nice that ascended gear actually has a functional purpose, honestly.

Indeed if you remove it then its only a massive more expensive and only 5% better armor O.o

This sounds like teleshopping advertisement

its big as the wings its also extreme shining and now equip eternity for woooooosh effect and ofc new beacon fire shining legy armor → hardmode confirmed!

cause you/your group see nothing at screen

Dradiin.8935:

Please A-net, fill just one 20 slot bag with containers that have full stacks then salvage them all and come tell us the players what you think of doing that is like.

Simply use a macro to spam clicks .

…. :/

Bloodstealer.5978:

When I see afk’ers standing at the chest for a period of time, or the merchant spam thing or even mesmers putting portals on the chest.. I simply go back out of the middle and collect a few dogs and have them chase me near enough so that I can hit stealth mode without passing it on to others.. then just watch those players fall before looting the chest myself… eye for an eye is often more pleasurable imo.
Pretty sure if ANET were even thinking of doing anything about griefers/afk leechers they would of done it by now so only thing to do is tab the target area or click, click click until you get lucky and hit the chest target.

and your behaviour is as bad as afk leechers

Konig Des Todes.2086:

But how about this question: Will Mordrem Blooms be used in the future, or should we use them all before the vendors disappear?

Gaile you already asked the devs or is the answer just out of the table as often?

Nope its gone your too late

rhapsody.3615:

I didn’t want to go back through 12 pages to be sure no one else mentioned it- I decided to level a new ele. I got a key for level 10 yesterday and for level 40 today. If I have a character without level 40 story done, I will try to get it done this week to be sure only level 10 is impacted.

Success! I got a key for level 40 story on two different characters today.

I did the opposite. I did the 40 story soon after the patch and got the 40 key. A few days later I did a new character and the 10 story, NO KEY.

I guess the level 10 key cant be the second one in the week, no matter what level the first was.

This is shocking. We realllllllllly need a response on this ArenNet, seriously. I’d be happy to just know the figures right now, considering I’ve received over 10 chests since this update and ZERO keys, with just ONE guild member out of 60+ actually getting a key drop.

And how often/ how many players will this shocking^^ experience affect?

Almost noone

Romio.8516:

So as the title says, I think it would be great to see Engineer Kit backpacks back in game as actual items/skins.
The models are already in game anyway and it is rather weird not to use them.

anet said/promised at the time they remove them, they will add all skins from kits to the wardrobe …but still not there

now the crying people "ooooh cant equip my wings on engi. fix it anet !!! are happy and the rest of us engis are still out of their engineer kit backpacks

so sad

person z:

“pls anet nerf xy”

-> anet do it

same person z after the fix:

“anet why you have broken the game?! its not fun this way now!”

the usual way

Ellsy.6780:

. I have a video and screens.. and account names. If this is allowed… then I’ll be sure to post a video of it and let others know just how this person gained this title.

Nope name calling is NOT allowed here

Wow another might nerf thread

i vote for every might stack give you minus 10 might per each stack . If you dont stack might get 100 might.

just my 2 cents Raaaaawrrrrrr charr

btw dont blame the lovely word kitten. at german forum the word is “liebsche”

so kitten is really fine

Absolom.4931:

For those who are wondering: YES. If you want to make the Howler, YES, DO IT.

It may not be worth it at the moment, but if more and more players make this weapon, Anet will eventually, probably, hopefully, realize that this weapon deserves a lot of love. This weapon’s name is Howler after all, so let’s howl together until they notice us.

or anet think: oh more and more players make this weapons, all is fine cause if the player dont like the status quo they wouldnt build it now . no need to change anything or love needed^^

Bubi.5237:

Gaile Gray.6029:

I’m tickled that, over time, many members of our community have adopted “kitten” as a cover-all word, instead of posting The Words That Should Never Be Written™.

The funny thing is when you say it in public: “I’m pretty kittened off about that!” and your friends give you the strangest looks.

I vote for a change!
Change “kitten” to “quaggan”! Everyone knows that quaggans are The Devil, capable of only evil acts!
And imagine saying “quaggan off!” instead of “kitten off!”, so much better!

no pls not more quaggan

or you are ruby?

Bloodstealer.5978:

I merely said it was harder to find an open event LFG compared to an open CF.

Sorry but this isnt true!

Rabe.2456:

HoT will introduce Tryia-Masteries and you will be able to level them after 80. The XP bar will be replaced with a mastery-bar.

HoT is more than a month away, and masteries (to my understanding) will only be available to people who have purchased HoT.

and? its this way since the feature patch

its the way anet decided to go. only other option is to quit if you cant deal with it….

Maybe

maybe not

noone knows it out now

look at bunny ears

Gotta catch em all

Dragon Master Trainer

Or just combine it

why not mounts with capes that can duell each other with (lance) spears and through their duelling you can inspect their stats ?!

that would be just awesome

Bomber.3872:

AzureSky.3175:

Before f2p was introduced:

1. I buy six accounts
2. I do some excessive key farming on these six accounts
3. I flood the TP with the items I get

After f2p was introduced:

1. I do some excessive key farming on six accounts
2. I buy these six accounts
3. I flood the TP with the items I get

All that f2p did was swap steps 1 and 2.

So far, yes. But your conclusion makes no sense. Because these steps were flipped it removed the risk. It removed the risk to loose a 40$ account with no gain. F2p changed that so you have no risk (free accs) until you have enough to again and only at that point to invest $ for gain.

Exactly this has been solved with tuesdays patch.

40$ = 10$ and most 0$ cause bought with stolen credit cards

Abimes.9726:

I just wanted to point out that you have to spend 31€88 average for one black lion 1 ticket skin. (buy 25 + 5 keys) or 159€4 average for a 5 ticket skin.

>There is a point where if you just buy gw2 core game at 15 € on the net and farm keys with 9 alts you actualy are more effective than buying keys for black lion keys by 100% after one year if you concider the 1 ticket skin worth 30€.

BLK drop rates :https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Lion_Chest/Drop_rate

Fair

schhhhhh soon anet will prohibit players to own more than one acc.

Dont give them notions!

Ameepa.6793:

kolompi.1287:

I want to duel everyone i come across. Mounted on my fiery steed and with a cape hanging over my shoulders. With my lance (spear) in my hand.

Do you also want to inspect people and give them unwanted comments of their stats?

Of course dont forget the stalker compendium!

Rule 10: Open an pleonastic thread at forum and name it Silverwastes: Rules of Engagement. After that giggle free times about the fact what funny genius you are and feel good about it. After all go back to holy dry top

… have the metrics in place to see accounts that grind in an excessive, abnormal manner …

Thats exactly what I wrote originally. I’m sure anet does monitor and has these metrics (if you look up some anets devs, you see that most of them are highly skilled experts in their fields) and I’m sure that based on these metrics anet did the restrictions. They obviously saw like I earlier stated that f2p abuse has there an issue after these people upgrade. Thats why they implemented the keyruns restrictions on all accs instead only f2p. It’s the logical way to fix this issue.
(But it’s not a good way for the normal legit player/keyrunner, because these now get more and more limitations only because f2p)

You’re still not making any sense. If there was a problem with f2p doing the story line for keys, then all they had to do was remove the keys with the f2p. You don’t punish the whole player base for a problem in a subset for it. Not when that problem is easily solved.

Summary: Not always fits the bogeyman f2p player

But there are enough Topics about Capes…

And this is another one

So its almost as we have capes cause of so much capes and mount and duelling threads at forum

Silmar Alech.4305:

Since the blooms are put into our inventory as physical items and not made an entry in the wallet, I assume they are a one-time currency for this event only. If the blooms are a regular HoT currency, they’d get a wallet entry for sure. I destroyed my blooms, and with them the reminiscence of the event, I hope.

Sorry but this answer helps nobody!
cause óther currencies also were added after long time at the wallet and gaile also said she will ask the devs if the blooms will come back or not

So we waiting for her answer and not from another player that only can speculate on this topic

Biber.6743:

Please tell us if the Blooms need to be spent now or can be saved up for the future to collect more…

my bank slot is still waiting for answer

Ok I Did It.2854:

Zergs.9715:

500 ectos, 500 obsi, 500 mystic coins… only 43 Clovers… It’s so depressing.

This seems to be closer to it, when I made my last legendary, I had to use around 400-500 ecto to get the 77 clovers out, the T6 mats that I got did not cover the cost of the ecto or coins,

There are more and more people getting these kind of results, wonder did Anet change the % chance to soak up some more of them ecto from the market.

Nope its just RNG

same as all the treads : Did anet * enter here nerf or buff* ecto salvage from rares at SW?"

the answer is as i said: not the x-factor or illuminati anet —> just RNG

TJgalon.5012:

I am not saying it easy. I am also saying, who knows if it effects matter. I am just saying, it might not be as bad, we only seen a couple days and a ton of panics and such.

Also sorry, some reason it corrected it to Runnier when I meant, Runner, though I am going to assume you know exactly what i meant.

its off topic but it was a language fail at me. i read first Ruinnier. nvm and sorry

also the reason why i delete it.

my apprehension is still that the sutff is more divided between accounts and i guess thats anets clue…. " oh i have now 7 scraps .kitten hat to wait 3 more weeks. i venture and buy some keys at gem store to finish the ticket "

but we will see

TJgalon.5012:

I actually wonder if in the long run we wont see much difference or so. I heard lots of people who normally wont do key farming may start once a week. Without the large increase in keys, they may even see more sales, which in turn means more chests open too. Yes I know the drop rate is not much better now, as far as we know, but that still more keys too. It really way to early to tell right now how things are effected except for the fact some hardcore key runnier have to stop.

hardcore key runner do it until a ticket is full and sell the skin. → mor runs in a row until their goal is achieved

your lots of people who normally wont do key farming need at least 10 weeks for one ticket… (realistic over 20 weeks!)

-> more scraps on more account but no full tickets

Or he used wrong /fake taxi that says sw 60% and land on a chest farm map and now blame the chest farmers instead of the (unwittingly?) fake taxi driver

this happens just look about another sw xy% map and enjoy your event map

(edit: strange one time it change the word "fake to kitten other time not O.o)

Just a flesh wound.3589:

It occurred to me that the key part of understanding this whole thing is the part where ANet said they increased key drops. What if they did? What If they seriously increased enough that the average person gets one a month. What happens then?

Mr Average Player is playing. Months pass. He is getting his key here and his key there. Suddenly he realizes he has 7 or 8 scraps. He almost has enough to get himself a fancy new weapon skin. What can he do to get those 2 or 3 more scraps?

In the past, someone who needs a couple of scraps could key run. Now he can’t. Not and get the scraps in any reasonable amount of time. He has to buy keys. If the keys turn out to be actually dropping at a substantial increased rate, then nerfing key running is the way ANet is stopping people from finishing up their scraps for free and forcing them to buy directly. It has nothing to do with key runners themselves.

That are also my thoughts and also that less people will finish tickets to achieve an blc skin AND sell it afterwards to tp instead of use the shiny by themselves cause of this resason.

i would really happy if the people like wanze roved right but atm i really guess the skins will skyrocketing .

The future will tell who is right… still hope wanze is it.

MasterJediSoda.5926:

Don’t forget that, if you do content like silverwastes (or even world bosses for the guaranteed rare once a day from each) and build up your ectos, you can consider salvaging extra ectos for more t6 dust to use in upgrading your t5 mats.

but as i said, always fo math before cause it could be cheapter atm to sell the ectos without salvaging and the t5 mats, buy the t6 and make even profit at the end!

Paulytnz.7619:

Zypher.7609:

Paulytnz.7619:

My fix:

1 – Remove chests/keys.
2 – Sell the skins or Tickets DIRECTLY.
3 – Add a TON more skins that people will actually want with no RNG behind it.
4 – Enjoy gem sales.

Gambling of this form has no place in this game at all. The game is a shining example of being great quality from makers with top notch integrity, well that’s what you think until you discover this part of the game.

You can already buy the weapon skins directly? I can open the trading post and buy the skins, there is no RNG involved.

I would prefer to buy from anet at a decent, fair price and not from some money hungry greedy player who bought it for cheaper and then bumped the price up to make a profit.

Say no to Trade Wars2!

mmmh at the moment you need about min. 25 key for 1 ticket ( ratio about every second chest one scrap) = 2100 gems ( you would get 300 gold if you convert your gems directly to gold!)
mmmh at the moment you can buy new 1 ticket blc skins for round about 70 g

Find the error (or not) Paul and keep on saying no to trade wars 2 and greets to the money hungry greedy player w:)

Lambent.6375:

What is there not to understand? You may not agree with it, but it’s easy to understand.

Players think the process to obtain Black Lion Skins is too expensive, and they don’t feel that other things you get from black lion chest make up for it.

Players who farmed keys because they were too expensive to buy, cannot do math. It’s about the worst time investment you can make.
I was told you were able to get about 3 keys per hour. One key costs 90 gems if you buy 5. This is 90*1.25cent = $1.125. Per hour $3.375.

You are farming for the equivalent of $3,35 hourly wage. I don’t know how you get paid in your country, but here in Germany a cleaner for your household gets about 10 Euro per hour (assume $1=1Euro).

If you go farming keys for 12 hours, you get 3*12=36 keys.
But if you go working as cleaner for only 4 hours, you get $40, which also gets you about 36 keys. For the remaining 8 hours, you can go playing Guild Wars 2 and do whatever you like – you don’t have to waste your time and create and delete characters the whole day.

If you now tell me you would never pay $40 for black lion keys with money you earned the hard way in 4 hours as cleaner, why would you tell me you waste 12 hours of your life time by clicking through a computer program to get the same amount of keys? 4 hours as cleaner more wasted than 12 hours as nothing? This alone should tell you that you should never started farming in the first place.

Many people in the u.s make just over 7 dollars an hour. It all depends on how you value your time off and what you make make while working. Single people who make less and have less responsibilities may think it’s a better investment to spend some of their free time farming as opposed to buying everything with cash. Doctor’s who make over 100k a year and have many responsibilities may find their limited personal time more valuable so they’re willing to fork out the cash. It’s economic, not poor math.

also: if i wake up at 3 am …..mhhhh cant sleep. lets do a quick 18 min key run after that relax/read a book

if i wake up at 3 am…. mmmmh cant sleep. lets find a job for 18 min which pay me and after that i resign and buy not one but two! key in gem shop

btw Silmar ask cashier at supermarket e.g Penny if they earn 10 Euro/h. You will be surprised!

And Silmar also you can watch a movie by doing key run, dont know if your boss find this behaviour funny. while you should clean …

This alone should tell you that you should NOT dictate others what they should do in their freee time Silmar!

I guess the time that LS 2 will be included in the bundle come soon …. few weeks/months after HoT Release. Look at 10$ Sales after HoT announcment and including core game in Hot…

But its only speculation and i dont know anything as all others, but i would not suprised about such step

Garambola.2461:

Have you refined t5 mats into t6 at the Mystic Forge? If not, consider that as another way of getting more of the mats.

be careful with this since T6 Dust is expensive atm and do math before you refine t5 to t6!

Loxias.2375:

The future of GW2 is “lock down the game to force f2p people to spend $.” Enjoy.

remove the paragraph f2p and it could tell the truth

Biber.6743:

Please tell us if the Blooms need to be spent now or can be saved up for the future to collect more…

This

atm there is nothing i want with my number of blooms but its also a waste of bank space

ty for hopefully sharing yours plan on this topic with us, anet.

Odokuro.5049:

How did I know this thread was going to be created, ANet never intended for people to get keys so easily, maybe instead of boosting a toon to 10 and getting a key, you all can now start playing the game and perhaps one will drop?

Mmmh i only hope that i dont read your name in context with future arguing about : “why anet are the bltc skyrocketing now?”

We will see if the drop rate really can offset guys that farm for 3,50$/hour this keys and balanced in my opinion the new 1 bltc ticket skins.

Wanze.8410:

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Wanze.8410:

A few farmers will get less keys per week and the whole player base gets more from random drops, i dont see how this will impact bl skin prices in a bad way.

So, do you think that the majority of the BL weapon skins are from people buying keys and not key farming? If most skins are from key farmers then this is a serious hit to supply. It takes on average 30 keys to get one skin. Since I sincerely doubt they will be dropping at a rate of 30 keys per player per year, then they aren’t going to be replacing even one competed set of key farming per year. The average key farmers who does his weekly key farm is going to get maybe two tickets a year. The only way that supply isn’t going to be hit is if the main source of skins is from people buying keys, not farming.

Yes, in my opinion, only a small minority of opened chests was from farmed keys.

But Wanze look:

You need about 25 key for one ticket if almost EVERY second chest would drop a blc weapon scrap. 25 Key are 2100 Gems. my rate is much more worse btw!

If you change this number of gems to gold you would get at the moment about 300 gold.

Now a days there are the 1 ticket released blc weapon skins for about 70 gold in the tp!

If the biggest part of this weapons were already purchased through gems/ bought via gem shop, the people will be very stupid to add this things for only 70 gold ( – 15 TP fee also!).

i guess now the price will raise extreme up to about 500 gold+ for new 1 ticket blc weapon skins, cause why you should invest over safe 300 gold+ to gamble and sell the weapon skin after this for 70 gold -10 gold tp fee ?
