i spend like 100g on weaponsmith and i get lvl470 lol ,this is MADNESS!

Yes my friend. It is horrible. They should stick to their promises and stop trying to make us ,,farming robots".

daros.3407:

Prepare 150 – 200g or you have no chance to get to 500. And ofcource you will probably need at least 2 professions so you will need another 150 – 200g for second profession. And ofcourse that will only get you to 500 you still need to farm tons of materials to get you weapons :-)
This is worst update Anet ever did. Game is now only about farming and nothing else.

This is a little extreme, crafting to 500 is going to be EXPENSIVE, but unless you’re looking to be 500 by days end today not that expensive. the thing is most of the “Time Gating” is not cool downs on crafting it’s gathering the mats, before yesterday none of the ascended mats existed in game. Yesterday the game world was flooded with Bloodstone Dust, but the rest of the mats that come from world boss chests, dungeons, and jumping puzzles will need to be farmed.

If ascended weapons were not account bound we would have seen them on the TP by now but only from framing bots from China, where 30 to 50 accounts could have pooled into one and crafted a few that would now be selling for just under what they are selling Legendary’s for.

It is not extreme you have to farm at least 150 gold to get one profession to 500 or farm mats several months to get all materials. Both ways are full of farming and grindig. You have no other choice to get to 500. Refining material will give you almost nothing to lvl profession. What i say is truth. With this update game is one of the most farmfest of all games.

I had more then 100 gold and tons of materials. Now i am at 466 and i have nothing! No gold, no material just nothing!
I start to play this game becouse it was supposed to be without that farming/grinding time wasting boring thing. And what do i have to do now? Farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm farm, farm, farm, farm, craft, farm, farm, farm farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm, farm.
I am seriosly consicering quiting the game becouse they are doing exactly what they sworn to never do!

Statictary.5206:

Arenanet Headquarters are near Seattle (GMT -7)
So assuming they’ll launch the patch from there it will take some 5 – 15 hours until we could get patched from this moment.
For my GMT + 2 this aint looking too bright. I’ll have to wait until my tomorrow arrives to enjoy it.

Wow, Im really having too much time since Im thinking about timezones and such. But well, what else can you do at work. (I’ll drive home in 10min from now on btw.)

15 hours from now is no longer 3. 9. 2013
Update was always at day they said. Even here in europe. As far as i remember how they released updates before it will be from 1 to 5 hours from this moment.

I have a lot of fun reading posts about Ascendeds being obtainable from chests, events…..
Come on, the chance will be probably same as chance to get precursor :-D If you want or need Ascendeds weapons you will most probably have to craft it…the long time consuming way…

Heta.8629:

20/0/0/20/30 axe/war horn. I use war horn to add condition removal with DPS

Exactly same build here.

I don’t want charged quartz to be ingredient too, and i dont like time gating. I don’t want to be forced to do thigs slowly if i can do them fast, or to be forced to log every day to do crafting if i don’t have time for it.
This is bad concept. Before release Anet promised they will never force us to do grinding and other boring things to get to good stuff. If they will implent it, they will horribly break that promise.
I want to just lvl my crafting to 500 create weapons and go to do what i want to do…Higher lvl factals. If i will be forced to log every day and do same things every day becouse of time gating to be able to do Hight fractals i will be forced to do griding/boring stuff to get to good stuff.

Ectos did not increase by 10silver.

Please don’t exaggerate.

Just want to clarify. Today it is 28 silver for 1 ecto…Yes i really exaggarated……..:-D

Note – you cannot base your counter argument on exaggeration when the initial comment was made 10 days ago. It applied only then, not now.

Even then it was not exaggerating. I just wanted to say the situation is much worse then it was 10 days ago. Now ectos are almost….ALMOST……twice expensive than it was before.

Martin Kerstein.3071:

Hey all, no worries, we got you covered.

Weapons, armor and trinkets with magic find will become account bound, lose their current stats and will gain the ability to be double-clicked to select one of several stat options depending on the item.

For example, if you have an Explorer’s Pearl Staff, you can now double-click it to change it to any other crafting stat.

We will have a blog post about it with more extensive information as well, keep an eye on the website.

that’s potentially disappointing… We were originally told we would be given compensation such that our account bound MF stat would be similar to what it currently is. I have no need for more gear. All my characters have all the sets of combat gear they need. My MF set was just that, a MF set… will there still be an option to convert it to the new account bound stat?

edit: hopefully the blog sheds more light on that.

And with this everyone will buy full MF gear before update to get +/-150%MF just for few golds.

Wallace MacBix.2089:

Although I just wonder two things,

1) does the kit quality effect the drop chance of the +MF item? (if so, there will be a lot of angry people with the infinite salvage kit)

2) is there a cap to account magic find, via consumables?

As far as i know you can get maximum 317% by gear consumables and other things…It is no mechanical cap it is just maximum all MF boosts in game can provide.
It is easy to reach 200%+
With this noone can get precusor easily and i suppose it will take long process to get to 200% so i think it will be fine.

Ah sorry :-) Then i agree with you :-)

There’s been no word that Ascended weapons/armor would look any different from Exotic skins though.

This is most probably asceded rifle https://d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/2e67306-Ascended-Weapons.jpg
Ascended weapons will most probably have unique skin.

Since all crafted items of the same level got the same look ( pearl etc ), all ascended weapons will have that style.
And that style is pretty unspectacular so im not afraid of them skyrocketing in price ( because of the skin ).

They showed us how ascended rifle will look, it has unique skin and you think ascended weapons will look like pearl? :-D

……….

Exactly……I fear future in which are 2h builds kicked from high lvl fractals becouse of low AR :-D
Or future posts on gw2lfg ,,50+ fractals only 80 lvl…dual wield!" :-D

pudin.8735:

Ayrilana, this issue is more about FoTM than sigils.

^THIS^

This post really needs to be in the Dungeons Forum. I get that FoTM players want more Agony Resist w/ 2H weapons, but it would actually make 2H weapons overpowered elsewhere. Doubt it’s going to happen.

It would not make 2h weapons OP it would balance AR. Becouse it will be big problem for staff eles, GS/staff guards, Rifle engis, Bow/GS rangers and more….

Everyone who says that it is no problem and wants to prove it by sigils never played 30+ fractals.
It is issue! 5 AR can and eventualy will decide about your life and death. 2h weapons should have 2 infusions.

It would be nice if they made them account bound. Currently you can swap legendaries between characters by transmuting them with a white item to make them account bound and re-transmuting them with the desired stats, but there might be some issue with this after the patch given the new ability to change stats legendaries are going to get.

Transmuting items makes them soulbound

Not if you transmute to a white item. Then it becomes account bound.

Oh cool. Another totally not misleading tool tip.

Sooooo many thiefs transmuted their hoods to get it back after they accidently destroyed them :-D

I dont think it is big problem. Maybe it will change some builds a little bit but not too much.

humans look like dolls? T.T

Compared to a norn, yes humans look like children.

This is not fair! :-D Human is in light armor. And it is smallest possible compare to tallest possible norn :-D If you put tallest human and smallest norn they will be almost same tall
:-D

Exactly: you are FORCED to use a helmet to cover the shame of their face.

I dont use helmet on my human warrior and i dont look like doll.

Look at your skin. Then look at the skin of a norn. Which is the skin of a warrior?

No, two scars aren’t enough. Warriors’ skin should be one whole big scar.XD

Says who? Sory but who are you that you decide how warrior should look like or how much scars should have…? :-D I mean there is nothing like ,,Only one true look of warrior" Make you warrior as you wish but you have no right to say how warriors should look like.
Some imagine warrior as brutal scary beast in scraps of black armore and some may image it as honorable fighter in shiny silver armore as is mine (you can see in Lets see your warriors 11 hours old post now)
It is up to every player himself to decide how his warrior should look like :-)

I was joking.XD

I was stating my idea of a warrior. Someone who brings the fight close and personal, end never leaves the battle unscathed. Either you are a mercenary, a destroyer or a white knight.

And I was whining because that’s almost impossible to do with a human.

Of cource no offence and i respect your style :-) If i would like to have my warrior fearsome destroyer with scars i would not pick human, but i wanted to be ,,knight" and humans are great if you want to create warrior in this style. Maybe best. Charrs and norns look great as ,,destroyers" but they are not as good as humans if you want to be
,,humble knight" And that is truth too :-)
It is up to Nomad to choose what he want his warrior to be. I think we showed him a lot of possibilities :-D

Finaly i have those shoulders :-)

If you want to be fire guy with helfire shoulders and volcanus Charr will look best with it. But charr looks good only in this or in cultural armor in my opinion and his combat animations are …strange. Charrs hundred blades looks much worse then humans or norns :-D
I have human with radiant/cultural armor with crafted pants and it looks great. Norn looks very good in this style too. Aspecialy norns cultural is awesome. Maybe best of all as whole set.
Just decide what style you want. Helfire? Radiant? Cultural or some dungeon armor maybe Arah. Look how each race looks in every armor.
But i warn you. If you pick charr for cultural or helfire armor it will be awesome but when you will see humans and norns how they perform their hundred blades and your charr will look like he is barely capable of holding his greatsword you will be a little disappointed :-D

krixis.9538:

do people still use anything lower then 1680×1050 nowadays ?

most comman res nowadays is 1920 × 1080

As you can see in my post i said 1366×768 is quite common for today’s laptops and that is thruth. Not only laptops of cource but almost every laptop has 1366×768 today.

I loved Ancient Karka, even with my low end laptop and i enjoy this event too. I am not entirely amazed by this event but it is good.

I wanted to download clockwork chaos wallpaper but none is in my resolution. They are in 800×600 that was used for games 10 years ago but none in 1366×768 that is quite common for todays laptops.
It would be good to have wallpapers in that resolution at least for future updates.

Mad Rasputin.7809:

There has been an ‘object’ that was data mined that will take a transmuted item and revert it back to it’s core two components. Sorta like a reverse transmutation.

If they have this capability, then you should have no problem un-transmuting your legendary. At the very least, it may cost a little $$ to obtain this item to un-transmute, but it should be doable.

Or another solution, if they will not find any normal way how to do it, they could just take away all legendary weapons from their owners any send them by mail totaly new untransmuted legendary back. There is no reason why they could not do it. No one will lose anything, everyone who lost his legendary will get it back ready to be transformed.

I would like to hear their response too. Although most of legendary owners probably transmuted it. Exept those who use soldiers stats. Decision to not upgrade transmuted legendary would make majority of legendary owners very….very angry. And i dont suppose they want to make so many people so much angry.

Yih.4950:

…I also like that this horn seemed to be made as the Ranger’s legendary……

I created Howler a hour ago, and i dont agree….this horn is great for my warrior :-D

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Paul Belz.7351:

any overflow that opens up 10 minutes after the invasion begins will not have the event active. This is to prevent them from carrying over into the next invasion, as they will be active for 45 minutes maximum.

Check for invasions near the start of the hour, though there is some slight variance.

This would be great except for the fact that the invasions aren’t even happening on the home worlds let alone the overflows.

I’m on JQ in blazeridge NOT in an overflow and it is telling me to go to my home server…

Same here. This is really….bad….

Sitkaz.5463:

Jeez guys. The events are happening every hour for a couple of weeks, but you missed the first so it’s bad game design? Owch.

Yes becouse with this we will be glad that we will get in to at least 1 event in those weeks so it is realy bad design.

Gnat.9405:

I’ve given up on my legendary until something is done to make them not necessarily more accessible, but more realistic. As a casual player I just don’t understand what I’m supposed to do to be able to afford what I need in a reasonable amount of time.

Even looking at some of the relatively lesser things I want like the Reaver of the Mists/Anomaly and something that I need, such as infusion on my back piece is 750 ectos plus some other expensive, rare materials. It’s completely discouraging.

I spent over an hour and a half in a fractal 38 and came out with less than 2 gold. My friend got lucky with a precursor drop in about 5 minutes of pavillion farming. Is this what risk/reward is intended to be in this game? I’m not trying to be sarcastic or whine about not having enough money. I was able to craft a cool weapon and get some nice armor over my year of play time, but I’m honestly at a loss for answering the question of how to earn and sustain wealth in this game.

Now most profitable is to do dungeons (not fractals) You will get around 1.5g for one path, depends on drop. Every path awards a least one gold per day and 23s for finishing path. Lot of dungeos are realy quick and you can have completed every path from 15-30 minutes with no problem.

Wolfey.3407:

Forgot the dreamer…. you know the unicorn bow…. ya…. it doesn’t have footsteps either. lol neither does howler….. but ya……. those are mainly ranger weaps so i guess those don’t count…..

Howler has footsteps, but barely noticeable. Although it could use some improvements for footsteps.
And i am not sure if those effects are affected by grafic settings. If they are, Anet shoud change it so even on lowest settings effects are still fully visible.

ezd.6359:

daros.3407:

As far as i know to get precursor you have to put always 4 same types of weapons. So 4 random rare weapons or 3 same exotics with one stone will never give any precursor.
But maybe i am mistaken :-)

You are wrong. I got The Lover from random drop yellows of different types. Stone / random weapon types = random weapon type. That is all.

Like i said ,,maybe i am mistaken" :-)

ForGreatJustice.3452:

Ectos did not increase by 10silver.

Ecto trend, according to http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/19721

August 11th: 18s 80c per highest buy order
August 18th: 22s 67c per highest buy order

Please don’t exaggerate.

But to answer your question, less rares from world bosses being salvaged would be my guess as to why ectos are jumping. People farming world bosses moved on to more lucrative farms, getting more cash.

TLDR:
More cash to spend + a supply that’s not keeping up = rising price.

Thanks for this. And about ectos, before 11th you could get it even fo 15 with order and when i looked last time it was 23s so it is realy almost 10s. I overrated price increase but it was not my intention i just round off the number. Round 8 to 10 is not exaggerating :-)

BaronT.5637:

Just to toss my experience in here. I’ve spent roughly 3.5k gold and tossed in nearly 10,000 rares into the forge. 3 precursors. 2 Storms, 1 Bard(all from random rares). My latest streak is about 4000 rares without a single precursor(3000 greatswords, 1000 random cheap rares). Additionally, I have also tossed in about 250 exotics+88 mystic forge stones and also no precursor. At this point I am sitting at 70g after dropping almost 800g in the forge trying to get a dusk or dawn.

As far as i know to get precursor you have to put always 4 same types of weapons. So 4 random rare weapons or 3 same exotics with one stone will never give any precursor.
But maybe i am mistaken :-)

I am almost at the end of creating my legendary. Most expencive things i need are 184 ectos and 234 Vicious fangs. But price of those increased for more then 10s per each in this week.
What is wrong? :-D Is it becouse of pavillion and event? Do you think the price will stabilize on 16-18s per each again when event ends? It is quite frustrating that i need only those two things but its prise increased so rapidly in few days :-D

They said fight with Liadri will be about skill and tactic, but it is purely about luck. Will the aoe shows right above you if you had to dodge it already twice in 6 sec or not? If not you win.
There is no skill required. It is super easy to get to phase 2 and phase two is only about luck. I quit after around 20 tries. I have no reason to waste my time and gold for WP just to kill something that can kill everyone who is patient enough to try it 100 times. Some of my friends are patient enough and after 100 times they did it, but i am not and Anet did not even gave any reason why to try to be patient enough. Some mini?….Keep it. I cant even use it properly becouse every time i push deposit all collectibles it will be in my bank. So why should i waste so much effort for something that is only about luck and awards me with something that will be in my bank for rest of its existence?
No thanks anet..I am experiencing enough RNG out of combat in this game. I dont want to experience it in combat now..

Does anyone know why queens face is caricatured now? It was not there before.
Maybe devs want to show us she has something bad to say? :-)

Wallace MacBix.2089:

Even a lot of the skins can be found cheaper. I forget the name of the Sylvari exotic shield. But I had the skin drop off of the Jungle Wurm a couple of weeks back, right now it costs about 80s on the tp. The same skin from the Sylvari merchant costs 10g.

Every skin sold in pavilion exept those gold (cant remember its name now) are also cultural and can be purchased for karma.

30 silver for every gear and you will most likely get rare item for 15s. It is definitely not worth.

Why nerf deadeye? When i wanted to do triple gambit archievment he was easiest to do it. Everything you need to do is dodge his ultimate attack.

First of all i like these new changes. Not only becouse it is more fun for me to get gold and stuff to create my legandary..:-D. Now it is much more easier to find group for every dungeon and what is more important it is much more easier to find GOOD group. Before update it was pain to find competent pug for AC now it is no problem.
For this i thanks to Anet, they implented really good thing.
Only thing i am not sure about is how much we are getting for dungeons. It was said we will get 1-3g for one path depending on its difficulty and length, but the result is that 95% of dungeons award 1g. What troubles me most on this is that super easy CoF 1 awards exactly same as other dungeons and paths exept AC and Arah.
I think rewards for dungeons could be reorganized or at least reward for cof 1 could be lower. Even every story dungeon is harder and takes longer than CoF 1 and it awards only 50s :-D

This thread will be probably closed. As far as i know petitions are not allowed on this forum….unfortunately….There is no good reason for it but Anet just want it that way…
If i would not have to farm tons of tickets and run through whole pavillion every time i die then i would accept its difficulty, But i have to do this all..
So nerf Liadri so we have bigger chance of defeating her or get rid of tickets and TP marathon..

I created thread about it too. They just wanted to test new reward system by huge farm but they do not what people to have lot of money so they force us spend all we farmed on WP and tickets in gauntlet….It is worst testing they could ever do.

If they hope i will spend my gold on tickets they are wrong :-D

Seriously this is real nonsence. Just remove it please…
