Guild Wars 2

i heard about player’s WvW rank are going to be account bound. any idea when it is going to be implemented ? are they (ANET) going to accumulate all the rank points across all characters and combine them into an account bound ?

if i buy a dungeon run for 5g, i’m entitled to sit back and relax until the boss is killed…

join party—> grab popcorn —> watch runner kill boss —> grab reward, and pay 5g

crafting time-gating is not new.

in LOTRO you can only craft an item from the highest tier of a crafting profession only once a week, but then again there is option to get the more or less same quality by doing raid….

Much as I like some of those outfits, I wouldn’t hold my breath for a yes or no answer. The best you might get is a “We don’t have any plans with those outfits at this time,” unless the answer is “Yes, they’re coming very soon!” Anything else just runs too much risk of being held up as a broken promise two months later if things don’t go just as planned. (So, I think it’s reasonable to just avoid saying anything, if they can’t give certain good news.)

Also, you mentioned asking GMs in game, by which I assume you mean ArenaNet staff: Just remember that they might not, as individuals, have any idea what plans are for any job but their own, they might not be eager to announce something casually in chat without getting a more formal go-ahead, and they might not want to be pestered with “What plans are there that haven’t been announced yet?” questions when they’re playing the game.

I mean, I can’t blame people for wanting to ask them, but I’d be more surprised if you did and got a real response than if you did and got no response at all. It’s like asking writers or actors for spoilers; “no comment” is just the safest, easiest answer to unexpected questions.

azizul.8469:

can’t answer simply with yes or no. 15 characters.

…People do realize they can just type extra spaces, right? The /15char thing is pretty unnecessary.

you can ? oh dem !

and…. Redenaz.. you answered too long.. lol

OMG, when i saw the score i said to myself i must come to the forum and say :

I"M LOVING THIS MATCH UP….

pretty much balanced….

make it 1000g.

what’s the new price ?

ascended gear was added to the game simply to rectify ANET’s own mistake in estimating how long the players could get the exotics, which turns out to be very fast….

so yeah, it’s their mistake; we had to grind…

can’t answer simply with yes or no. 15 characters.

not everyone like to be in a stacked server you know , even if they are offered gold for transfer…..

recently we had a zerg with 7 people had their tag on…..

my point is that just because someone turning on their tag, doesn’t mean he is commanding….

english pls… me speak no portugis….

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

guild wars 1 is an entirely different gaming experience!

o hai there bang azizul
lu manyak active on the forums aaaahaahaha

lol… what to do. can’t get my hands on the game at the moment….. hahaha

manifestos are the things of the past….

only if you’re planning on unlocking the titles and HoM skins.

dragonites are easy if you frequently do temple raid with your multiple characters….

i remember Dig Nick Bigger was forced to changed as well…

you have just started playing or been a while ? if you’re new simply delete all your characters and transfer for free….

*shrug..

i just put the excess mats in a 15-slot bag and then put that bag in my bank…… next time i wanna use those silly dusts or whatever stackings, i just take the bag into my inventory bag slot and use them…

but of course, convenience are convenience…. this is good game…. support ANET…

What is this putting a full bag into your bank wizardry you speak of?

Does this actually work? I’m off to make some space in my bank….

No. Bags that are not empty (containing one or more items in their inventory slots) are “locked” in place. You cannot move them to the bank or another bag until you remove every item from the bag you want to move.

You can only put empty bags into the bank.

yeah, just found out it doesn’t work anymore..used to work… lol, sorry for getting few people excited…

HighBread.9145:

I think this will actually create more balanced servers as time goes on, with the exception of one stacked Blackgate server. SoR and JQ will get tired of losing to BG every week and a lot of people will probably transfer to lower servers or to BG. SoR and JQ ranks will drop, lower server ranks will go up. The same will happen with the losing servers throughout all the tiers until the servers balance out, which will create more varied match ups as time goes on.

I wouldn’t count on JQ quitting because of losing.

JQ has never been below tier 1 since GW2 released. They always came in 2nd or 3rd (mostly 3rd) up until SoS collasped and JQ was the new number 1 server.

not quite… when ET, HoD and SBI were the force of WvW, there were times when JQ dropped a tier, but that was it. since the implosion of Titan Alliance and Ascension Alliance, they have been in Tier 1 every week…..

Manu.6078:

Playing against the same two severs, week after week, is not a great idea. The players from top 3, both NA and EU, will die of boredom.

non-stacked servers that way—————>

why is CD chance of meeting EBay 21% ? i thought CD and EBay has close rating ? well not very far off i should say, but still, lower probability than meeting BP which is surely stronger server.. something is wrong with the table…

anyway what they should do is let the match ups adjust itself by staying with the glicko rating system for a couple of weeks, and only then apply the new deviation system…. last week’s ranking (after the WvW season 1) does not really represent the actual server rank…. for example this week , does ANET really think NSP and IoJ can compete with DB ? they can’t even compete with CD who is in turn getting stomped by Db any time…..

*shrug..

yeah, we need centaur related Living Stories….. make them siege Divinity’s Reach, or anything….

Gaviston Hawkington.9647:

if this has been asked before I could not find it on the forums. Has anyone from Anet ever explained why BUY/SELL price for GEMS is not equivalent? If someone is willing to pay 8 gold for 100 GEMS then, shouldn’t I be able to sell 100 GEMS for 8 gold?

this is to prevent gems market manipulation.

everytime you purchase gems using gold, their immediate resale value is at 70% ofthat price. so if you’re stocking gems with a view to resell, you’ll have to wait a loooong time, for the resale price to go beyond the price you purchased….

i hope you understand what i explain. english no mamatounge.

Lord Kuru.3685:

They need a winner-take-all ranking system. That encourages double teams and should alleviate a lot of the coverage issues since you’d need a really large population disparity between servers for one server to easily beat two.

yeah winner take all with hidden score. only display the current top scorer server name from a match up; hiding the other two.

DeadlySynz.3471:

I like the ideas, they have been suggested before.

- Points per capture
- Points per defense
- Points for downing players
- Points for killing players

Doing any of the above outnumbered awards more points (maybe 50% more).

The collusion idea was brought up before but it wouldn’t really work. If 2 teams are going back and for (Aka karma train), they are both leaving their stuff wide open for the 3rd server to take; and the 3rd server wins it quite easily. It’s happened before during the karma train. The other server swoops in and just screws everything up.

+1

Although i’m still proposing the reduction of map cap by 50%…..

oloap.9765:

what i don’t understand is how can they make a living, isn’t anet banning also the buyers? how people can trust buying from them? it isn’t that hardfor anet to ban them a mail from a suspicus account with 1000g atttached will definetly make some bells ring! i heard of some ppl getting banned for exchanging “few” hundreds of gold between friends to help making legends or precursors.
i recently bought dawn for my gf and mailed her, a while ago she borrowed me 280g to finish making twilight.
we were so scared about getting autobanned that we wrote messages into the mail for adin like “pls don’t ban us just borrowing to my bf!!!” is that a legnd?

i think those goldsellers are utilizing guild bank…

i’m sure ANET is working on a Living Story that involve the cleaning up of Kessex Hill and rebuilding of its surrounding (replant trees etc….)

no matter what suggestion you guys proposed, WvW will always be imbalanced unless they reduce the map cap by 50%……

current reward is good enough, to deter player from bandwagoning to stack server just for that greens and blues….

more dailies options to do please….

thank you….

and err.. scrap the leaderboard….

is the WvW season 1 rewards worth the cost of transfer ?

there is timer for the event ? if no, i wonder how you can possibly make it fail…..

as of now, the speed of the Living Story is very demanding. just when we have just finish doing the current content, bam, new one coming up.

i would like to do other content of the game as well you know. by toning down the speed of which the LS is deployed, player can do more content of the game at casual pace.

so, here is my suggestion. as we know each living story has 2 parts, the major part which last 1 month , and the minor part which last 2 weeks (starts 2 weeks after the major part begins). why not make the major part last 6 weeks, and the minor part last 3 weeks ? that way players have more time to do the LS, while at the same time able to enjoy other content of the game as well.

Haha nice, I wanna see the screens of it.

But woudnt that bother ppl on queu- oh wait. Lel

Wuts a queue lel
On a side note.
Look I found an old SS that someone took of the TP at headstart.
Dem prices.

Those were the day.

Oh I miss the days of 1 gold for like what..200 gems?

200gems ?

i miss the days when they were 400gems

that’s why i always suggest to ANET to use the “winner move up, loser move down” system…. this will guaranteed different match up every week without there being too much difference in terms of coverage.. of course weak server will get stomped , but still way better than “rank 5 vs rank 8 vs rank 12”…….

NA should have had 4-league.

League 1 – T1 & T2
League 2 – T3 & T4
League 3 – T5 & T6
League 3 – T7 & T8

How will the match up should be, you may ask. Well, there will be 6 team in each league, we name them server A B C D E F, with server A being the top rank in the league and server F being the lowest rank in the league, we will have the following match up :

Week 1 – ABC , DEF
Week 2 – ABD, CEF
Week 3 – BCF , ADE
Week 4 – ACE, BDF

With this :
1) You’ll have a not very long season. 4 weeks should be just fine.
2) Each of the top 3 servers (ABC) in each league get a fair share of “easier” match up (assuming bottom 3 (DEF) of the league are weaker). no more the case like JQ having more easier match ups.
3)Each of the weaker servers get to face 2 stronger servers in a match up. no more weak server claim “omg we get to fight strong ones always !”

gurhulk.7953:

the dead people spying is an annoying tactic too, your dead you can’t see anything. I say auto rezz the dead player after 5 seconds at the closest waypoint.

5 second would be too extreme. i would suggest 3 minutes, if not rezzed within 3 minutes after death, the player is auto-spawned at the spawn point.

this will also partly resolve the rezzing-through-gate issue because if there is someone purposely die at the gate, most likely he/she is a mesmer. we would then only need to assign someone to monitor that person for 3 minutes only.

got my monthly for this month done on the 3rd day. yeah this month’s monthly in super easy.

more monthly options ? bring it on……

ANET should look at how Turbine encourage people to purchase their cash shop currency, by introducing more bonus (currency) for more cash shop currency purchased…

e.g .:

800gems —-— get bonus extra 10% gems —> 880 gems
1600gems --—- get bonus extra 15% gems —>1840gems
3200gems --—- get bonus extra 20% gems —→3840gems
etc
etc….

ascended armor should be made obtainable by doing fractals, just like the accessories and weapons, giving people options to either run fractals or crafting them…

Those who go to forums to complain are often referred to as a “vocal minority,” and many people only come to the forums when they want to complain. One thing we don’t know is how many among those who do all the dailies all the time are not coming to the forums because they enjoy the system the way it is. In other words, if a cap were put in, would these people suddenly descend on the forums and demand the cap be removed — and if so, how many are there?

There have already been quite a few people who are among the top AP hunters who have come to this thread and voiced their opinion that they would welcome this change. I have multiple friends who are in the top 100 who are starting to tire of the continuous grind and who fume to me whenever more mindless grinding AP’s are added.

Of course top AP hunters will want a cap: that makes it harder for people below them to catch up to them.

Why do so many people think we are just not wanting people to catch us? Do you guys not understand that the more time they add to dailies the HARDER it is to catch us? It once took us 20min to do dailies. Now it can take 2+ hours. We had soooo much extra time to get more achievements. With the time it takes now, its going to be harder to catch us.

in that case leaderboard toppers don’t need to worry if they add more daily options, coz most of us don’t really care about leaderboards, we just want APs to unlock those chests….

Then the changes we request will not even be noticed by you. In which case, why do you care if we get a QoL change?

lol…what’s QoL ?

how much do you guys make per hour running those queensdale champ train in terms of “guaranteed gold” ?

i usually join it for dailies only, coz i make my gold another method….

Ewon.5903:

azizul.8469:

more dailies pls so that i can unlock those AP chests faster….

the hell with leaderboards, i don’t care….

So very selfish :/

Do you do every daily every day?

what selfish….?

not really all.. usually i skipped those fractals and few which i think would take too long…. and pvp dailies.. rarely do that…

the most i did i think 14/15…

come on people, buy those gems, and don’t forget to convert them to gold okay.

cheers.

more dailies pls so that i can unlock those AP chests faster….

the hell with leaderboards, i don’t care….

i would welcome if they introduce 40 daily options a day while still only require us to complete 5 for the daily rewards…

mine is still around 8k++ …. i grind APs for skin and rewards, not to compete with the top tier of the leaderboard.. i’m sure many othe players too…

waaaa 40 then the list would require scrolling down wahahhaah.
o hai there bang azizul.

hmmm i’m a casual player with about 12.5k achievement points.

errr.. 12k is casual haa Uncle ? puii Uncle puii… hahahah
