Guild Wars 2

WvW needs one thing. Way point to commander tag from anywhere for 1 gold.

500 badges + 10 golds + 25 laurels per piece

do it…..

Well now you know how the WvW players feel about being forced in doing PvE to get that higher tier gear….

Probably the best idea I have seen on GW2 forum….upvote

1000 hours of WvW played: sitting on 15k Badges and 5 golds…..

Because the pets are idiots….

I am willing to buy a dredge skip RNG booster from the Gems store and not have to go through this….

opened 30 chests and nothing…

I was expecting at least 1 skin from opeing 30 chests. 30 keys cost me around $35….RNG delivers again…

Did you get any ticket scraps? You can use 10 ticket scraps to convert into a Claim Ticket and buy one skin from the BLT Specialist.

I got 7 ticket scraps. Not enough for anything….

Red Raven.7824:

You were never able to get a Consumable Token by salvaging. You can only Buy them and have a small chance to get them from a chest.

weird because I had ~40 of them and never bought any…..

So to craft anything in PvP using PvP crafting material, we need Consumable Token. These used to drop from the chests and salavaging PvP armor/weapons.

Since the last patch back in December when you guys introduced the new PvP glory vendor, I haven’t got a single Consumable Token from 100 tPvP chests, 2 monthlies, 60 PvP daily chests and salvaing over 300 exotic PvP armor and weapons. The only way to get Consumable Token now is to spend the glory points and actaully buy them.

So bascially you going to remove all the PvP salvaging material some time coming soon and we can eigther destroy them or spend glory points to buy Consumable Token so we can craft stuff?

Please explain why Consumable Token is removed?

until the gem store runs out of items to sell it will be permanent…

I found 50 dusks yesterday and have 112% MF….it is RNG

Please stop asking for more grind….

Zylonite.5913:

It will come but not in this patch. I am pretty sure they are planning how to do it right….hold your horses…

When this LS BS is gone we’ll get it…along with that large feature patch….in March. What a waste of time.

Living stories are not bs…The LS items in the gems store is the reason you can play free WvW…and I am glad the devs are taking their time to make sure merging WvW XP doesn’t break the game…

laurels nerf incoming….

Meglobob.8620:

What is the focus of the living story?

To sell gem store stuff every 2 weeks when everyone logs in to check the latest instalment…

Simple as that!

Nothing wrong in that at all, it beats a monthly subscription.

Basically this. That is why LS will be everywhere to get people interested.

There is nothing wrong with this business model since the devs gotta eat too…

No. Think of EoTM as a nested overflow. So once a map gets overflowed another instance of EoTM is created.

Many thanks guys…This is a tricky one…

Basically wondering if the loot will be similar to WvW or PvE? Do we get a exotic chest from the champs or just a loot bag?

was stuck in overflow…:(

I play the game to have fun, not to become better at something….If something tries to change me then it means it does’t accept me as a player??? so is the GW2 player base not accepted within ANet’s walls that now we have to change?

Some people only have fun WHEN they are learning and displaying mastery of skill. If you are not like that, cool. No problem. We love and accept you just as you are. We made most of our game content for you! Don’t ever change.

This worries me a bit, Josh. Most people (I guess) aren’t new players, GW2 isn’t like any jump’n run which you play days / maybe a few weeks. GW2 is a game which many people play for months now, and it’s inevitable that the player becomes better in that time. Players also get levels and gear which makes them even more powerful, so you could be afk in a zone, having mobs attacking you and you will survive. You can entirely ignore mobs by running away in most zones, since they can’t keep up with the player at any time (few use cc skills on you and if they do, they do it rarely).

I don’t like that. It limits the challenging content for players who enjoy a interesting gameplay to level 80 zones mostly imho.

When we look at current games we see the popularity of really difficult games. Dark Souls was huge because of that, Tribulation Mode in GW2 was loved and press enjoys the “higher” difficulty in WildStar.

My suggestion: include really challenging environment within each zone, which opens up new areas to explore with strong monsters to fight. Not only small areas but actually bigger parts of a zone. Something where you have to prove that you know how to dodge, or learn certain patterns. This way even new players could start to learn how to meet a challenge while players who don’t like this simply stay away from this parts of the map.

Making every area accessible by just ignoring the mobs while running through makes the game feel trivial in these parts imho.

… a huge berserker troll guards the entrance to a cave… well… I just run by, into the cave… bye troll.

Have you been to Orr mate? I had no idea you can afk on Cursed Shore and not be dead after 10 seconds.

Anyways, this discussion is not about challenging content. That has been discussed many times in the past and as you said many other game that are challenging. I also love challenging games like demon souls and dark souls, but this topic is about changing the way we play and work with other players in bigger groups to accomplish things.

There is already challenging content in the game. It is called fractals level 49+….

This makes me sad. What is life without challenge? Absolutely boring.

Yes. GW2 is life. sarcastic

If I see Scarlet in the edge of the myst, I will jump out of a window and hope I don’t wake up after landing…

It will come but not in this patch. I am pretty sure they are planning how to do it right….hold your horses…

The screenshot is the link provided. the tree that you climb is removed and replaced by a Probe. Me and 2 other players were trying to get to the vista using the wiki and finally gave up.

Currently this vista on bloodtide coast is not accessible due to Energy Probe map change:

No matter the game be it traps, hits or any mechanics that instantly kill is fundamentally bad.

I essentially see insta kills as a trollish device used by game developers to unfairly punish or artificially raise difficulty

I have come to peace with myself that ANet has a troll kitty…..

The idea of bringing players together and teach them organization is cool, but it needs a lot more than a world boss to achieve that in a MMO.

Adding a new world event that is insanely hard to do and requires 100% coordination will only separate players and cause more frustration.

If you are expecting every player to go and watch youtube walkthrough and read dulfy then you are simply living on the moon….

Step down on earth and accept your current player base and don’t try to create things to change how we play….

nice attempt but a fail in my books….

docMed.7692:

…I can officially say;

3) Overflows/joining on each other/etc is a horrible design that nobody likes (unique instances please…)

/QQ

Yes. Living the living story in overflow sucks…

People love to zerg and Anet delivers zerg contents. Everyone happy….

who cares? I am still in overflow (5 days into the living story)..

Steel Fenrir.2791:

@LordKuru I like your suggestion, but it’s incomplete, it should be:
“Everyone to Blackgate Overflow Organization Challenge”

No. That is Teq Challenge…..

how about “Taxi from overflow to map” living story?

Vol.7601:

Please, I’d love to hear your solution to overflows.

Not have content that the maps can’t handle. If the fundamental design of the game is flawed and allows max 100 players on a map then they shouldn’t release contents that causes the overflow.

I don’t know how crafting of an ascended armor works but it should be possible to put my exotic armor in the discovery or upgrade tab of the crafting station and add some ascended mats and BAM!!! there is my ascended armor piece with the increased stats of exactly what I wanted….

My exotic sentinel armor set cost me more than 100 G….now the best thing I can do is to salvage it? I can’t even transfer it to another toon because its soulbound…..

The way ascended armor was introduced was kind of rushed imo and mostly done for gold sink….It should have been designed to allow players with exotics to upgrade to ascended…

I will continue playing with my exotic set and if I feel that ascended stats are required to survive PvE (outside fractals) and WvW, then I will leave the game….

Why do the causal players have to pay the price if some kids playing 24/7 farming 18 hours a day sitting on 100k golds find the game boring or not challenging? while the causal players still have to work for the exotics not to mention the ascended stuff?

MithranArkanere.8957:

People who were not here last year missed the events in there.

Let them have fun too.

I visited it for the first time today and after 5 minutes I felt my brain cells are dying slowly…..

With legendary weapon/(armor! future???) as an exception, The rest of the weapon/armor (rare/exotic/ascended) should be obtainable by running dungeons/WvW/PvE and whatever the game offers in a reasonable amount of time…

…and not by crafting + gold.

I read Turtle Dragon.9241 and I totally agree with the comments.

The currently implemented vertical progression is totally wrong. There should be a better ladder to work your way in a vertical gear/skin acquisition rather than discarding everything that you worked for to get the next tier of things….

Solution: get rid of soulbound and move towards accountbound.

This is my first MMO and speaking as someone who has not played any other MMOs to compare GW2 with…

First of all, when you make a design decision, stick with it….Don’t reset progress and rank and leaderboards and etc….people actually put time and effort toward these things…I feel that there are too many wrong decisions made when introducing something and then you try to fix it 3 months down the road???

• Fractals: I was only lvl 3 fractals before Fracture LS and now I am lvl 20 because now I run fractals…but the decision to reset the progress of others was wrong…you made a bad decision to make the fractal level progress soulbound at first and tried to fix it with no sense of sympathy for others….

• PvP glory….so someone wake up someday and said we are going to remove PvP glory, PvP ranks, PvP leaderboards? just like that? here is some armor that you can buy with your hard earned glory+ gold…and now we give you 30 silvers for win,,,,yeah but no thanks….

• WvW ranks and soulbound/accountbound: Same thing…..one day its soulbound and next day its accountbound….accountbound was the right way to go from the beginning…So why make bad decisions when you introduce something in the game that needs to go in a 180 degrees turn after 2 months? You should know your community better by now….

• Ascended Gear: enough has been said that it is waste of time to even mention it….
  https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/PvE-ascended-armor-in-WvW/first#post3315817

How come there is no achievements/titles for reaching ranks in WvW? At least 10 achievements per 100 ranks or something and a title for rank 500/1000/etc?

I guess it won’t happen because you have to open a location in canada, but buying $20 worth of gems will end up costing $23-24 CDN after the exchange and credit card exchange fee….Even with paypal and bypassing the credit card company costs the exchnage rate $22-$23…

Also the Gems card in Canada are not available anymore and only amazon.ca sells them for $27 + Taxes….

Unfortunaltly it is a deal breaker for some of us…

How do I set one up? thanks….

Incurafy.6329:

They should keep them separate, I don’t even know why they’re joining them.

Maybe because grinding x2 times for the same set of armor/skin is pointless?

Kagamiku.9731:

WvW was never intended to be completely balanced, so I don’t agree.

Unless you want to remove food/utility/wvw lvl ups/ascended weapons/armor/the buffs that come from your server doing well in wvw/runes/stacking sigils

Yeah, I don’t think so.

I hear what you are saying but then why PvP was not intended to be like PvE/WvW. In other games you can have buffs, gears, weapons, etc that nobody has access to until they unlock it…

So if PvP can be seperated from PvE, why can’t WvW….

It depends if you see WvW as a form of PvE or PvP…I see it as a diffrent PvP mode….

I prefer to win by having better skills rather than food buffs and having crafted better gears…

Michael.7382:

It gona be in the future.

So its safe to spend my 100k glory points on PvP dungeon gear for my 8 toons?

I just wanted to throw in a comment and thank Anet for the new changes to PvP.

Taking into account that PvP has its own player base and some people only PvP in this game, has added a lot of values to keep PvP alive.

in other words. none of that ascended cratfted (money buys) stuff are welcomed in PvP land….

Now please do the same with WvW….

Are there any plans to unlock the PvP dungeon gear which we buy with glory + gold for PvE mode?

If I am spending my hard earned PvP glory on dungeon set and then it doesn’t make sense to farm dungeons 60 times to get enough tokens to get the set in PvE?

Please make them common between PvP/PvE….

agreed +1

……………..

if 15 silvers attrats players then there is something wrong in the game….

Frigid.6027:

ascended armor stats arent a huge increase, you’ll be okay

I laugh at these comments….so because exotics is a slight increase to rares, then we can use rares in WvW? why not just use greens? no wait blues work fine?

Of course it is a slight increase in stats…but it is that slight upgrade that keeps you alive in Zerg fights….

You can sya the same thing about food and oil. It is a slight increase so why bother? because 70+ vitality makes a huge difference when you are standing in 100 necro AoEs and ACs firing down on you..

most people are 29-32k hp warriors in zerg fights. is 33k hp going to save your life? if you are down to 1k hp, odds are your backliners are dead and your melee train is slowly dying.

since you brought up zerg fights, meaning you run in the blob, im sure you’ve taken keeps/smc/garri. you have the mats you need anyway.

>>most people are 29-32k hp warriors in zerg fights. is 33k hp going to save your life?
wrong…the 1 hp is going to save my life,,,,
