Guild Wars 2

currently for completing your monthly you get the regular rewards and this:

Essence of Luck (legendary) Legendary: 500 luck

1) what do you think about this?

2) what if the monthly rewarded 1% account magic find or a essence that levels you 1% in account magic find?

3) if they added 1% mf to the monthly chest only would this be too much (1% mf per month = 120% mf over 10 years time assuming you do monthly every month)

4) little bit more info the luck bar at level 41 takes 490 so up till this point you may get more that one level using current Essence of Luck, but past that it gets higher and they don’t add up to much at higher levels

feel free to share your thoughts on the suggestions or add your own please be constructive and no complaining; good luck and have fun!

got a few cookie cutter responses asking for information sent all information it 3 different times and stopped getting any sort of response over a week ago. Issue still unresolved and sent all information a few times, any help would be great thanks!

not sure how to update ticket but
ticket 130814-002128

received reply saying they had found my items and they were asking for one more piece of information. I sent that information and its been 4 days with no response at all. not sure why it would take 4 days once I sent that info if they had the items, but still didn’t receive anything.

so issue still unresolved

Some games give you some extent of freedom when you play; example being good guy or bad guy. I know gw2 is its own game but would be curious if they could add cool new things that allow players more choices example:

1) will we ever get to choose which side we will play. Like new scarlet event and future events could we side ourselves with the opposing faction to play against players choosing other side (like choosing to fight with scarlet get rewarded accordingly for stopping them from foiling scarlets plans)

2) something like instanced duels in the world (not pvp) where both parties have to accept taken to an instanced area to fight (may not even be possible but still fun thought)

3) can we pick the opposing side (like choosing the bad guy to foil the good guys plans changing world accordingly)

4) we all know those games that allow you to hostile or pk people out of safe zones; (again not very likely but would be fun to pk that troll that been annoying or maybe just keep people aware) and it doesn’t have to have any extreme penalties, like if you get pk you lose all your loot or armor could just be for fun or could be small reward or penalty just to keep people from getting bored with just ai mobs.

5) ability to change characters personality (extreme good – bad maybe changes characters aura) if you are really bad merch may not sell you something, may charge you more, or may charge you less (basically more choices in game effecting world)

6) yes some of these are just fun thought and may very well not even be possible, but for those more pvp oriented what about making pvp rewards more along the lines of the other game modes. I noticed you are making wvw more in line with pve as far as upping achievement points and loot, maybe a upgrade for pvp

7) maybe some harder instanced bosses to go along with the new revamped world bosses to test small groups

8) I think the goal of updating frequently is great but something to keep people from feeling like they are just grinding ai to get anywhere. ( I know wvw is getting a revamp and I am all for heading away from biggest zerg wins) something to keep players interacting with each other in pve would probably help lessen the feel of farm ai to win.

These are just some thought I thought would help liven up the game and make it more enjoyable, this may not be what everyone feels, so feel free to add what you think would help make the game better and please be constructive. The thoughts may be realistic or not, but no criticism as I want to keep the thread open to new ideas and views.

thanks good luck have fun!

good news here is the answer

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/bltc/Copper-Fed-Salvage-O-Matic-Useless

Curtis Johnson said this:

"
I believe she said ‘….i thiiink…’..

Quality of salvage kit does NOT matter for finding essence of luck.

we talked.. we’re sure now

(edited about 4 minutes ago by Curtis Johnson.8456)"

so good news you can use basic kits and the infinite kit w/o worrying about having to use a better kit for better chance.

ok ill look at the stream, was also curious since they mentioned that you get them from salvaging blues and greens; if greens have the higher chance at the drops and does it stop there? Or is there the possibility of getting them from the higher rarities as well, rare and exotic?

I know the better kit is generally the case for the better return, but to my knowledge they never specified if the luck drops were something similar to salvaging ecto since the items are blue and green seems a waste of good kits.. I believe it was also stated that it levels off at a certain point then why would you use a good kit for a example .0001% to next level. If you have some link to the post where they mentioned the kit that would be preferred or something along those lines plz link as I have read the new blog post and it was vague on that part of the topic thanks.

my question was to determine the best kit for the job if the kit doesn’t matter why not something like this

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Disasembler_3BEK_Kit

anyways mystic kits are an ok sub for rares if black lion kits are out of the question and would rather save them and use basic kits if the same drops either way

Like title says, will the salvage kit you use to salvage green, blue, or ecto matter in the % chance to receive these Essences of Luck.

1) do certain kits have higher chance of Essences of Luck or all kits same? (crude through black lion salvage kit)

2) I know we probably cant get exact drop rates but some hint whether using a higher level kit will matter would be greatly appreciated.

I kind of feel bad for people with multiple magic find sets and celestial sets. If they do relate the magic find gear to the account bound bonus the most I could see is something like this:

- if person has a character or multiple characters with max mf sets they the amount of mf from set (max around 167%) could be transferred to a 167% account bonus (max even if more than 1 set is owned) to keep those who had sets with what they had before as to not lose their stuff they took time to get.

- if person has magic find sets they can get some of that transferred to account bonus (maybe just not full amount) to still reward those that took the time buy, craft, or attain items just for this stat

- maybe give the option to completely destroy magic find gear and transfer it (max 167% since that was max anyway or less 10% 25% idk) to account bound version

- points 1 and 2 might not work as they have not said how this will progress in account bound version

these are just some thoughts and may not even be necessary or some might be over excessive; since we have no real idea how this new account bound magic find will accumulate or at what speed. we only know its from an item from salvaging blue and greens. anyways these are just some thoughts to let people who had magic find not lose what they had , but may not even be necessary depending on how they plan to implement this.

To answer a few more questions:
•If you currently have listed an item with MF on the Trading Post, they will be returned to you, as they become account bound.
•Upgrade components that currently give MF bonus will be updated with new functionality.
•All existing drops and crafting recipes that have created Magic Find gear will be replaced with new stat combos.

So with that last post on mf we can see every question has been answered with the exception of one; at least that I can think of:

1) will those that have 167% mf on armor just get the stat change and start on even playing field as the rest or will that 167% mf be applied or partly applied to the new account bound magic find?

Thanks for all the answers and clearing up the questions about magic find as always if there are any remaining questions about the change feel free to ask

Since they are giving you something different (Any armor set stat you want) In exchange for the 167% MF on armor, it is HIGHLY unlikely that they will give you any free MF on top of that.

Everyone should be starting with the same level of account-wide magic find (that is to say, 0% before achievement bonuses) And will need to upgrade it via the various methods to get more MF.

That being said, I don’t know that for sure. But I would be VERY shocked if they gave those players a head start on everyone else, in addition to the other things they’re getting. That goes beyond compensation and starts dipping into rewarding individuals for having that gear type. I can imagine that would upset a fairly large number of players.

That’s a fair assessment just curious if they were actually planning on rewarding those that got the magic find sets for the sake of magic find; since most have the other sets already and just took the time to make a magic find set for the one purpose it had. whether they add a small set of the magic find to the account bound or let you salvage your armor into it if you got other sets. Like I said just a question as there is nothing we can do about it either way just be nice to know.

edit

to clarify its basically asking if the people who took the time to get 167% mf will just get another set rewarding players that didn’t have magic find sets on the same level ;(question not criticism) like ptv or if it is dungeon armor does that mean that you can only change it to another dungeon armor set?

player A 167% mf

player B 0% mf

after change both will start at 0? (minus account bound mf already there)

Just a quick question:

are the people that invested in the magic find gear for the magic find stat for whatever reason (thought mf helped or maybe they had bad drop rate) getting just the gear change or will their current gear go towards the new account bound magic find in any way? I ask because I know some people had 167% mf on their gear and was curious if this was just going away with a stat change or will this go towards the new account magic find in some way; or will everyone start with base 0 (minus already account bound mf) magic find whether they had magic find gear already or not?

Thank you for the answers!

thanks that sort of clears it up that we can change the stats of armor, weps, and accessories. Seems that infusion will still be useable as well as food. It isn’t clear on the runes or if we will just get the stat change or will that 167% mf be added to account bonus or just drop off. so thank you for that post and I change my question to this:

1) will the 167% mf on the armor just fall off when we swap stats or will some or any of it go towards the account bound magic find since we had bought the sets specifically for magic find?

2) will runes/sigils be changeable as well or how will they work?

any other questions related to the magic find change are welcome as well.

the current breakdown of magic find is this:

Explorer’s, Traveler’s, or Wayfarer’s armor set or equivalent 18%
5 Superior Runes of the Pirate, Noble, or Traveler 50%
1 Superior Rune of the Pirate, Noble, or Traveler, different from above 10%
Amulet: The Golden Lotus with Magical Infusion 30%
Ring: Snaff’s Gyre 10%
Ring: Yakkington’s Ring 10%
Accessory: Armbrace of Truth 10%
Accessory: Egg of the Crystal Queen 10%
Back item: Wayfarer’s Spineguard or equivalent, with Exquisite Opal Jewel 7%
Main-hand Explorer’s weapon or equivalent with Crest of the Traveler 6%
Off-hand Explorer’s weapon or equivalent with Crest of the Traveler 6%
Subtotal from equipment 167%

Superior Sigil of Luck 15% Can swap to different weapon set after fully stacked.
Guild Heroes banner 15%
Guild Magic Find banner 10% Does not stack with Guild Heroes banner.
Laureate Magic Find Booster 30%
Magic Find Booster 50%
Chocolate Omnomberry Cream 40% While under the effects of a boon.
Achievement rewards Varies Depends an achievement points
Subtotal from effects 150%

I might be missing some and if there are any feel free to add them, but I think the question on most peoples mind is; will their time and money spent on getting these specific magic find sets and stats just go to waste or will it somehow be applied to this new account magic find in some way we are currently unaware of? good question about the food buffs as well as I only brought up the armor aspect; if any other have more questions feel free to post as well.

Title basically says it just curious to how this account magic find will change the mf sets players currently run and the time and money put into mf infusions runes ect.

1) will this new account magic find completely remove all mf from sets exp: 0 mf from mf armor, mf runes, mf infusions, mf sigils, and mf accessories ascended?

2) if one is true what will happen to the armor that people specifically bought for the magic find stat and ascended items and infusions as they generally cost more time and effort?

3) will this set all players at equal starting with new account magic find or will players that took the time to get magic find sets get to use those somehow?

4) if the magic find stat is completely removed and we don’t get anything for it will stats be random or pre decided set change; or will we get to pick what the mf stat or entire armor stats will change into?

These are just some questions that come to mind with new account magic find coming into play next patch; so if any other players have magic find question feel free to post here questions or answers only please no complaints about magic find or non productive comments as this is a q and a.

I don’t know what is going on with random player sent mail disappearing from the mail tab, but I only have 1 question.

Will we get the mail that disappeared back?

well I think I can sum this up, here goes:

1) he was asking for complete nerf to deadeye (as not possible anymore) that way he would move on to the next source of income aka frost farm or pavilion farm without worrying someone is making more money that him

2) after nerf he found people still farming deadeye so asks what to keep farming and making most money (fyi unless you got guard, Mesmer or to some extent necro or thief don’t expect to jump back on the money train for easy money rest have to work harder)

3) if deadeye was completely nerfed way he had wanted it he would have moved on to next money farm as stated to make most money see above for location ( would have got sick of that too after awhile and asked for another nerf and so on in a vicious cycle)

4) sry to break it you but you cant have your cake and eat it to there is no best of both worlds you can make money in gw2 or have fun and here is why. farming involves doing same thing over and over and over and over again and is usually so easy a trained monkey or even untrained could do it and its not fun; if you find repeating things endlessly fun that have no challenge your brain just turns off and you get bored fast, the only thing that can repeat the same thing over and over endlessly is a computer as to my knowledge humans get burned out doing things repeatedly over and over.

5) last and final point this can all be summed up in one simple word “GREED” yep that’s it. Having money is good and all but if you do same thing over and over like cof was, nobody ever finds it fun after awhile and why play a game if you not having fun. Just some things to think about, have fun money will come; farm is just for the greed or vanity farmers will never come close to tp flippers and their 1000’s on precursors. That’s just the way the game is, but I don’t care how much money the next guy has as long as I am having fun; don’t get me wrong your free to farm as much as you want, but don’t complain that it isn’t fun farming isn’t supposed to be fun. That said I got better things to do than play a game that isn’t fun, so I will play till it ceases to be fun then do something else and come back later. You can farm or have fun cant have both.

whats your point I have over 20 characters just on 1 account so total between 20-30 characters and my lowest alt is level 35 ish over 9,000 ach points and some characters have as much as over 700-900 useless skill points. so yes this item is of 0 use to me and many others since I have already bought over 20 character slots I wont be buying any more. So learn to read please its not about asking for more its about asking for equal treatment and not forcing people who already bought many character slots to buy more just to get an item to be of any use. I couldn’t care less about skill points but if you use it on a level 80 at least its something other than an item to delete and seeing what it takes to get this is shouldn’t be useful to only certain people/characters.

Kal Spiro.9745:

Because I still see a difference in going from 1-20 and going from 60-80. Even though in this game there really is no difference in time spent, it just seems like a more significant change to me. If it leveled you to 20 or provided 5 skill points, then I would be alright with it. The reason being those potentially 15 or so skill points you got for leveling from 1-20 all got spent on skills. None of the 20 skill points you got leveling from 50-70 got spent on anything at all, therefore getting so many is too many.

So in your opinion those that have 20 characters all above level 20 should have a useless item because of a few skill points? You do know that there are items that drop that give a skill point and they drop ALOT also can get skill points for fractal tokens skill challenges they are really mindlessly easy. Also take into account how you obtain these items 5,000/10,000 achievement points or playing the game for an entire year and you think only those that didn’t buy/level their characters already should get rewarded? Again does this negatively effect you; or you just don’t want others to get rewarded too for their hard work, why shouldn’t a level 21 be boosted to level 41?

Kal Spiro.9745:

I’m a bit iffy on this. I happened to have just bought a new character slot and had not quite made it to 20 when I got my 5000 reward, so it was useful. At the same time, if I had been playing a bit more directly, or hadn’t made a new character at all the thing would have been entirely useless to me.

I fail to see the issue here. What are you iffy about and what about this change would change what you got now? Changing the scroll from 1-20 to +20 levels would still level your character from level 1-20. now it would just also help those that already maxed at 80 or have a lingering level 21 that could be boosted to level 41 instead of just 1-20 it would be + 20 levels (skill points if maxed). Where is the downside?

Here are the facts:

level 1-20 scroll helps:

1) new characters level 20 and below or people buying new character slots

scroll changed to +20 levels or 20 skill points (if level 80) helps:

1) characters 80 and below (everyone)

2) your level 21 character would be able to jump to level 41 and you level 80 can get 20 skill points making this FAR MORE USEFULL TO ALL PLAYERS

what people haven’t taken into account is this change doesn’t have any negative effects on anyone so why not change it, it can only help people. The only reason against this is that you don’t feel everyone should be rewarded by this ( isn’t that just selfishness as this would have no negative effect at all on you?) Some people already bought 20-30 characters are you saying they should by 20-30 more to use these scrolls that doesn’t make any sense.

Just this one small change would in return become beneficial to everyone and not effect anyone negatively so what is (1) reason not to change this?

If you wanted a instant level 80 there are zerg fests and crafting (1-80) few hours max just buying mats off tp. This would help everyone changed as currently it only helps those that haven’t leveled their character not those that partially leveled or maxed their characters already!

Vol.5241:

Shiren.9532:

Vol you clearly missed the point. Many players are better off deleting an experience scroll because they already have 8+ level 80 characters. They aren’t going to make any more characters, so an item which only works on characters below level 20 is just taking up space.

Then put it in the bank in case you DO want to make a new character? It doesn’t cost Anet money but it actually encourages a select # of players to purchase another slot.

If you don’t use it, then tough luck. At least you got a minipet and an exp boost for when you want skillpoints.

Gifts are appreciated, but not expected. The moment you expect and demand things you become materialistic and miss the whole point of ‘birthday’ celebrations.

You again miss the point this isn’t about YOU its about all players and those that chose to partially level or chose to purchase 20-30 character slots already and partially or fully leveled them all shouldn’t be expected to buy more slots or be penalized by having an item that has no use to them . would it hurt you to have that scroll give 20 skill points to a level 80 or have a level 53 bumped to level 73? This is about rewarding everyone that earned it!

Vol.5241:

Don’t stop there. I would also like to get a free precursor, 100g, and 1000 gems.

Because I don’t think getting a single minipet and a scroll is enough!

But then again, demanding gifts for your ‘Birthday’ is a pretty pathetic thing.

Think you need to actually read the posts before to try to be “smart” and sarcastic! Point is these are rewards for characters that played gw2 for a full year or achieved 5,000/10,000 achievement points. Giving a scroll that levels your characters from 1-20 instead of just a scroll that adds 20 levels to current level or if maxed 20 skill points could be used by far more players than just a scroll made for new characters as many people already bought 10-20 slots and are partials leveled making this item useless for them. So please actually ready as I am not wanting any ex rewards only a change to one currently being rewarded to actually reward those that earned them. I don’t care if people who have 20 characters get 20 of the same mini for their birthday, but 20 scrolls for 1-20 could be way more useful to players if it was just add 20 levels.

Ok so for playing the game 1 year and getting 5000 achievement points you get this scroll that levels your character from level 1-20. This was supposed to be promoting leveling new characters and buying new character slots, but look at it this way; by simply changing it to add 20 level you achieve the same thing and DONT penalize the players that are actually playing for the entire year and getting 5000 ach points as they are most likely sitting on level 80’s or at least level 20+. Doing this rewards you all around as anyone can use them and since characters can already be leveled to 80 in a few hours with money into tp through crafting anyway don’t see any drawback. This is supposed to be rewarding players that are already a good way into the game and simply changing it to 20 instead of 1-20 it truly rewards those that have been leveling all along. Another point is if people have 10 or even 20+ characters chances are that they are all at least semi leveled already or mules with no intention of leveling what are they going to do with 10+ or 20+ 1-20 scrolls buy 10-20 more character slots? please change this to benefit everyone!

you will just be spinning your wheels as the saying goes, as they made it perfectly clear in no uncertain terms they will NOT make both fractals; this was officially stated multiple times on multiple threads. The vote was to decide which one was built and winners fractal will be built. For someone to win someone has to lose, that said you are free to do as you wish as long as it falls in the rules of the code of conduct, but don’t expect them to circumvent their decision based on it.

Colin said if there was enough of an uproar, they would make the other Fractal eventually too.

Here is the direct quote

“We will not make both fractals.” made by AnthonyOrdon Game Designer in the thread IMO: ArenaNet favors Evon (Unfair!)

you will just be spinning your wheels as the saying goes, as they made it perfectly clear in no uncertain terms they will NOT make both fractals; this was officially stated multiple times on multiple threads. The vote was to decide which one was built and winners fractal will be built. For someone to win someone has to lose, that said you are free to do as you wish as long as it falls in the rules of the code of conduct, but don’t expect them to circumvent their decision based on it.

sry probably wasn’t clear I mean like

1) I would like to see skill bases solo fights with some sort of title as the reward and be able to change difficulty

2) I am a hardcore player

or

1) I would like to see more team based challenges with more armor or mini as rewards

2) I am a casual player

these are just examples as its what you want and how you feel your play style is.

I have noticed that the game is progressing towards both the casual and hardcore player base with the new content my question is this; what would like to see as the story progresses? Can be content based or reward based; for example the new queens gauntlet seems to be geared towards the hardcore player base but reward seems to be catered to the casuals. Going forward I would rather see new skill based titles that you can wear for skill based content, don’t get me wrong the mini is great, I just don’t see anyone bringing a mini around as a indicator of skill. I would also like to see some more skill based challenges that players can increase difficulty to challenge themselves.

1) what would you like to see?

2) what would you consider yourself (hardcore or casual) ?

could add something like 100 by 100 unit pillars that rise up from the floor that prevent just circle strafe the boss or if you keep running in one direction pieces of the floor fall out ahead of you (could be placed on gambit or something) making you dodge and use different tactics than run in a circle and dps (again only for people who want more of a challenge)

would also like to see some “skill based titles” added to the game in not talking dungeon master or even max rank pvp as those with time or good group can be grinded without the need for skill. To keep things fair they don’t really have to be things casuals would like, for example minis or anything but a great title or maybe a weapon or armor; even then casuals might feel left out but I think I really good skill based title would be great!

Trying to keep this a thread for people that want hard challenging content while including the casuals or the lacking computer specs (before any comments about wanting cake mode already beat laidri)

1) next time please make these solo challenges instanced keep the lag down making skills activate when they should.

2) take timer and put it in gambit mode add different lengths 30 sec -2 min something like that

3) leave the mini reward for those that want it the (casuals) I don’t know may just be my opinion but most casuals would collect mini; while more hardcore gamers want leet titles, maybe leave mini in casual version while new cool title in harder version (aka gambit version just a thought)

4) I know bugs are a thing that happens no matter the time taken to check, as there are some thing that are just overlooked; however, fewer major bugs fewer complaints

5) for those wanting a challenge add a super boss maybe final boss evolves but to not upset the casuals, like previously stated maybe just add title as reward or something

6) new gambits like leash range cant go so far or so close to boss w/o taking ex dmg ex conditions ect

7) drop the weird light add blank screen(for gambit mode screen blacks out for 1-3 seconds)

8) the rings on floor were I challenge I liked but some had honest difficulty seeing rings maybe separate the 2 with different colors or solid floor (instead of falling out of ring maybe spikes come up and impale you)

9) the part I think upset most please make a auto rez for those that fail while I didn’t fail much, I know a lot were frustrated having to wp and run back up just seemed like a waste of time

10) all that said I liked the content and challenge but there could always be ways to improve and separate those that truly enjoy the challenge w/o making casuals feel like they missed out on a item or something; just random thoughts though.

feel free to add ways that this can be improved upon in the future from a casual or hardcore perspective, as I am sure they like both points of view. Try to keep this constructive as there are other threads for complaints.

good luck and have fun!

Ok so there are too many bugs to list with gauntlet but here are a few:

1) stepping into arena and being constantly knocked down (no gambits active)

2) stepping into arena to have last bosses adds such as ooze still there (no gambits active)

3) stepping into arena and getting downed (reason unknown could be lag from massive zerg below but skills ex dodge seem to activate fine so I doubt it)

4) fighting laidri getting constant instakill that doesn’t stop (ever)

These are just a few and they are costing us the gauntlet tickets, money used to buy ticket, wp cost, repair cost, time to farm more tickets, need I go on this is every single time and its getting old!

As if fighting laidri wasn’t bad enough how do you expect us to get 8 orbs while we got all these bugs plus the seizure light, and non stop spawning instakill clones with the instakill light that doesn’t seem to stop in certain domes not to mention if you are actually lucky enough to get to that part without other bug killing you first. Then hope the luck is also shining down on you hoping that the light zone doesn’t spawn in edge of map where its almost impossible to pull enemies into.

FIX PLEASE!

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

To get the Liadri mini you just have to defeat the final boss of Queen’s Gauntlet. You don’t have to have five gambits active.

Thank you for the clarification on that issue, with 2 sites saying completely different quotes it was nice to have that cleared up!

As for the time limit I was under the impression we also have that same time limit, and didn’t they say somewhere in the stream or something that it would be impossible for the queen to keep the gauntlet around for more than 2 weeks? don’t quote me on it but where does it say we have a month? I was under the impression it was here for 2 weeks again though could be a misunderstanding so any sources would be great thanks.

That said, I really hope massively was mistaken in their quote as defeating final boss with all gambits would leave out a lot of people from getting this special miniature. I would be happy if we only had to defeat the boss and the gambits could be used for people that wanted the challenge, so more people could attain the mini and not feel left out, because of level, gear, class, ect.

As I have not played the content I can not verify 100% only what pre patch notes say on massively.joystiq.com and here is their quote “Defeating the final tier boss, Liadri the Concealing Dark, with every gambit active will earn you a miniature version of her; we were told that out of all of the alpha testers, only 5 had managed to earn the mini.” that is direct from their page so if massively or dulfy is correct will be left to speculation until release I guess.

You probably wont get a title as you are getting the mini for beating her with all gambits on, but seeing as how some of those buffs are constant burn, not being able to dodge, and crowd favorite means you get an additional opponent at the same time; those 3 plus w/e other 2 are and boss will surely make this ….well ill save my opinion for when I see but I wont get my hopes up.

According to the patch preview in order to get the mini you “have to beat Laidri with all gambits active” to get the Laidri mini which only 5 testers were able to accomplish. So I am sure some classes will have the advantage which in most cases usually happens to be Thief or Warrior/Guard good luck and have fun!

It was stated that the magic find stat will be taken off armor accessories ect and since gear I bought that will be replaced with something else seems like a bug type issue to me I posted here; my question is this:

1) people that invested heavily into ascended magic find gear and infusions will just get a “RANDOM” stat they never wanted since they bought that gear, runes, sigils, and accessories, ect specifically for magic find?

2) will this basically mean those that took the time effort or gold to get all these stats on their armor ascended accessories ect will have that taken away just to be put on the same level of those that didn’t bother with magic find at all?

3) someone with max mf stats on gear will be taken to 0 after stats disappear?

This concerns me since my drop rate is horrible enough I had to invest in heavy magic find and just as I do its is all going to be taken away even ascended gear stats? Sorry but this doesn’t seem right maybe im missing something or it wasn’t explained clearly but seems its rewarding those that did nothing while punishing those that took the extra effort, which I hope is not the case.

so basically what I am seeing is that the devs saw that people were exploiting their mistake and getting the achievement; and in order to “fix” this they implement a system that requires you to exploit the leash mechanics and ai mechanics while forcing you to run solo or in ber gear in what was supposed to be a “group” event. In other words they rewarded people that exploited early and punish those that didn’t by making it 50x harder and gear specific? Seems to me that people that did this before they “fixed” it get free achievement while people that didn’t get, sry we don’t want to fix it again to make it fun or doable without ber gear or fixed classes. Just my opinion though.

….um where was that -1 button again?

I noticed that the 2 new back skins for the cutthroat politics are available from the Fortune Scrap Vendor in the bazaar docks. so my question is:

1) will the Fortune Scrap Vendor in the bazaar docks be a permanent vendor?

2) if it is not a permanent vendor will the rose and rucksack from cutthroat politics join the list of the other items available from the permanent fortune scrap vendor sitting in the black lion trading post?

As this is limited time only content, if they will still be around after aug 5th would be nice to know so we can get them before they leave.

Thank you and have a nice day!

so basically what these 4 pages boils down to is this "there is “1” class with “1 bunker” build that I cant insta win “1v1” on my conditionmancer “fotm” build plz nerf it" so many things could be said but I think this sums it up the best, NO.

Its amazing how the obvious is ignored time and time again. Once and for all, to those people that state: people that want the title should work for it and if they cant get it its only because they lack the skills to do so; here is the simplified fact for you certain players have overwhelming advantages over others and assume your so much better than those trying, but suffer from this simple fact. That fact is there is no even playing field! That’s right simple as that, you want an even playing field where you can take the high and mighty stance to be so much better; simple way to do this is drop your connection to match those far from the servers and with bad connection. That way you will be forced into same situations they are:
1) horrible lag, you will get 9/10 skills lag for 3-5 seconds before working most wont work at all sometimes
2) random rubber banding back to a cp or off a cliff multiple times a rance
3) no chance to avoid any attacks because you don’t see them till your already hit

The advantage differs from person to person so don’t assume someone isn’t trying. Knowing this I chose to help others knowing its not a fair race but a game, you have no obligation to do the same nor does anyone have the right to call you names for your choice. This people are not trying and need to “earn” their reward is a flawed way of thinking simply because no matter the skill of a player, situations beyond their control will make them place low because some run flawless connection. To make an analogy its like running a obstacle race with your opponent blindfolded, do you consider this equal grounds or fair? Not all people have connection issues and some just want the free win, but those that legitimately have handicaps should not be lumped together with those wanting the easy way. Treat your fellow players with respect this means those winning and those losing, thanks to those that help, as I am sure many people appreciate this kind gesture for helping them with situations beyond their control.

all I got to say is wow…someone has issues I suppose its pointless to try to explain all the things wrong in that long paragraph or misinformation, but here are a few. no NPC helps you unless they are part of your story, they metaphorically help the made up people in gw2 the npc roaming the city, you know those pixels on your screen. Want to explain to me the last time gnashblade left his tp to walk into your fight to help you oh right no npc do that? Next you claim you like gold but defend the made up npc taking a portion of yours contradiction much? Last part I wont touch your anger issues, but please keep this about the actual debate and not your lack of intelligence trying to bash other people by picking and choosing certain parts to take and others to ignore. Yes long story short id rather have a person that helps people in lionsguard than a money grubbing char, but after reading that tiring smear campaign full of contradictions; I see you both have the same philosophy on money so your wanting to relate to a char like that makes sense. Either stay with the fiction or go full facts makes it hard to read someone going between fantasy and reality!

People may have likes and dislikes of both parties, but given the 2 options, there is only one logical choice….that is unless you like frustration and suffering.

1) if you want to bring up gw1 fine, lets look at who made pre searing into the searing………that’s right the char.

2) which party is in favor of you the player wasting your hard earned money while laughing at you not getting what you want because its all “CHANCE” and “RNG”, all the while lining their own pockets with your hard earned money while you get nothing……… Evon Gnashblade

3) looking at the rewards for the parties, you get to save money or spend more money on more “CHANCE” maybe its just me but id rather have reduced costs saving me money than someone reducing the price of something you have to buy and even then its all “CHANCE”

4) Kiel helps people Evon Gnashblade cheats them taking a cut of everything they get and sell on the tp.

Its clearly obvious; vote to save money and someone who will help the people, or vote to spend more money and still not get what you wanted through “CHANCE” with someone who lies and cheats the people that work hard and play right.

Kiel is the only choice here! my vote goes to Kiel!
