In all honesty you are only in that cheerleader outfit for a couple of levels only. You grow out of it fast, as someone stated, make a medium armor gal, It does a great job at covering up if it bothers you. Weird I saw a few level 80 female characters in Cursed Shore. With the starter oufits on, they said it is just the skin of the starter outfit. So I dunno I guess some people prefer that outfit for a caster….Shrug….
It just baffles me that people are actualy making backpieces that cost 100g+
Here’s a cheap one that costs you 0g
1x Prototype Fractal Capacitor (1350 fractal relics)
1x Gift of ascencion (500 fractal relics)
40x crystals or 240 philosophers stones (24 skill points)
1x Vail of condensed mist essence (pretty common drop in FotM)Hope this was useful to someone
Have a nice day

How is that even remotely good advice? All I see is Grind, Grind, and Grind Fractals. Welcome to Fractal Wars 2, located in Tyrias Arch.
Well if loot drops changed for the better, but I can see it being a dificult task, with those that chose to wear MF gear to scale loot drops, and the champions dropped better loot. More people will do champion events.
WoW is that way —-—————→
If you do not want to go back to WoW then:
DKonline is that way—————>
Dk is in BETA and they need testers, and you get mounts. I tried Dk and it is a bit grindy, more grindy then GW2 so have at it.
And I bet every single person in these forums is gonna try to get some clipping action off of Jennah. LMAO
Well there is this one thing called reporting, If a number of players suspect you where botting they are gonna report you. I report every single bot when I know for a fact they are botting.
Some give aways are names like: gfdgf, etc = an autoreport on my part. Obvious bots are Obvious.
Also if you are running the same exact path’s of other “Bots/players” and end up stacking in the same spot when not moving or attacking at the same time = botting
Rangers with bears as pets deserve a second look, because Most bots use Ranger/Bear combos. So maybe players suspect you botting so they reported you, and if you where you Deserve NOTHING AT ALL but an IP band.
My server is big on FoTm dungeon so that could be one major reason. The other reasons could be poor loot drops on Everything and event nerfs. So roaming around Tyria can be pretty desolate. Most people are in the FoTm Dungeon, or sitting in LA looking for a group for the dungeon.
I wonder if people with magic Find gear is affecting loot drops on the server, for some strange reason. There are some people that like stats more, (like I do) over selfish loot drops. If MF is affecting loot drops on whatever server you are on based on the number of people with 100% + MF bonus. Then ALL gear should have MF by default. Or MF needs to get removed.
Bottom Line if something can be exploited and still = Win. You bet your ars people will exploit things, get their rewards, and come in the forums, and say the game isn’t hard, deal with it.
you might have to respec and re-adjust your trait skills, until you find your likeing, it may take a couple tries before you find your happy medium. so pay the coin to unlearn your traits,(this resets your tait points) and stick the points in different slots until you find what you are looking for as a class style.
I think what he means is. Say I am a Heavy. I want to filter out Mediums and lights, just so I can see only heavy armors. Even when you click that check box it still shows you. Mediums, and Lights, all though you are a Heavy.
Because mounts will be one lump sum, of gold, and thats it. By increasing waypoints cost, as you get higher on leveling coin is guarnteed in large amounts of small increments as long as the game is live. Eventully players will need more coin for other things including waypoints some time. So they get that coin through trade of gems in the Gem shop. Since coin loot and gear drops got nerfed. Problem with the game is aNet is depending on the Gem shop to much to give sometype of real life cash for payroll. Hence – All the loot, and event nerfs. They will do anything neccessary to make it harder and harder to earn coin with regulaur play, because they want people to trade gems for gold at the shop. Look at etco’s for example. They are needed for legendaries.
Once upon a time, here and there, The ruins of Orr risen use to drop them, now, which seems to be the only way to get them is using a Master salvageing kit on Rare gear or the TP from other players that used the Master Salvaging Kit on their Rare drops.
So Master Salvage Kits cost coin.
The TP takes 10% of your items first, then you get whats left over in your pocket. when sold.
Rare gear only drops once in awhile.
The Devs add MF gear and bonus’s which cost game coin.
Waypoints cost more the higher your level is, and a thousand of other things including diminish returns and coin sinking, etc. The goal is to make players get rewarded less, to support the Gem shop.
what gets me is why do people want to party on a world event all the time? We are already in a group, do to the world event poping, and players head to the area on there own to participate in this world event. We are already in a group but not a party, please stop spaming me a party invite, when I am already in the group also participating in the world event.
Weird..all the mount thing was stated before, then there where no mount requests for a little bit at all, now there are more, and more mount requests again. What the hell is going on?
The cheating opption will get abused to much, do to the: “This class is overpowered, do to them beating me, they need a nerf.” whole mentality. Or…
X class that I play, needs a buff
X class that beats me, need a nerf.
Imagine players constantly reporting other players do to what is stated above.
Either mounts should be added or they really have to work on the way currency is earned/spent. Why should I have to do an entire dungeon run for a 2g gain if I’m spending about 50s or more a day on Waypoints? Lower the price of waypoints or implement some form of higher out of combat speed; such as mounts.
This will never happen do to the fact the buying gems to trade for gold, at the gem store. Why would a company neglect themselves of cash flow?
Aslong as there is an option to buy gems and trade for gold with real life cash, They will not add mounts when players pay to waypoint, they will not increase coin drops, do to the fact that the company wants players to get the less coin possible on drops and such so they can go to the gem shop to buy gems and trade for gold.
Why you think nerfs are constantly happening on loot drops? Why you think they increased Plinx’s spawn time? Why you think we get diminish returns? The company wants players to get lesser and lesser coin, so players HAVE to buy gems at their shop and trade for gold. I say lose the shop and make GW2 a sub. They said they do not want GW2 being a sub, and they also did say they do not want a gear treadmill..Well we all seen what happened there. So lose the shop and go sub = players getting less and less nerfs on coin and loot drops.
It’s obviously a carry-over from GW1 and other classic rpgs which really should have been given the chop long ago.
Where was magic find in GW1? I don’t remember it.
I don’t remember this neither shrug
I remebered, Once upon a Time. before the Halloween event. I was getting Etco’s as drops off the Ruins of Orr risen, DROPS! not all the time but they did drop here and there, I Guess aNet stuck their foot down and said, Uhh Unn, no way you guys are getting a loot drop that will bring the coin in, we want you to get coin from our gem store instead. ’UNLEASH THE NERFBAT!".
@MiguelM
From my personal preferance. I like Warrior and Guardian. from level 1-80 it just is more manageable IMO, my 80 warrior and my 80 Guardian can take a few mobs on at once and survive.
If you are into hit and run go with theif and your secondary a shortbow, I only say shortbow do to it having a stealth arrow to let you gain some distance from the foe to get out of their aggro range faster, and in WvW battles guilds like to see shotbows on theives. but it is not a must, if you can manage with out a shortbow then that is good too. Mind you, theif was a rough road for me to get one to 80, but I made it happen.
If you are into magic users instead, go Mesmer, this is just my personal preferance. I tried necromencer, and my playstyle matched more on a Mesmer. It is your playstyle it is entirely up to you, whatever you feel comfortable with.
IMO Engineer is a great class too, but I think it takes a certain breed of person to have an all around great engineer. Same goes for rangers, and Elementalist. You can have awesome Engineers, Elementalist, and Rangers. depending on the player behind the keyboard. The guild I was in had an awesome engineer he played his class perfectly, he was an aussie to. I always liked the aussie’s.
So play what you think matches your playstyle, and don’t look back.
Save the Karma for level 80 Exotic Armor. You find these Karma Vendors in the 75-80 zone or Ruins of Orr. You have to do a chain of events that lead to one main group event, after you complete these World Group Events in the Ruins of Orr, you will unlock the special Karma Vendors that sell Exotic Level 80 armors. You use the Karma as currency to buy each armor piece.
Armor Pieces are 42,000 per Piece. If you did not waste Karma leveling then you should have enough Karma by 80 level to buy two Armor pieces, and halfway to a third Piece.
You need 6 pieces just for level 80 Exotic armor, that totals up to 250,000 Karma total, so save that karma.
GW2 does not have quest hubs to level up, There are many ways to level up. You are introduced how to do it right after you make a character, and do your very first event. Find hearts and do what pops up in the menu at the top right of the screen.
Do gathering
Do map completions = Find Points of Intrest, Skill trainers(identified as the blue chevrons all over the map) Find Vista’s
Each of these things give money, and Experience – Money for armor, and expereince.
Participate in World Events, they pop up out of the blue in whatever zone you are in. These will reward, more money for armor, more exprience for leveling, and Karma currency, which you can use to buy things in game, but players most save the Karma for buying level 80 exotic armor.

/Signed – Stats are more important then selfishness
There are only Pixels, the main problems is with the person that your character has sexy legs, Well they have issues if the think pixels are sexy. Kinda reminds me of this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=urNyg1ftMIU#!
Asking is the key thing. I am not sure how this generation of kids work. But Nobody wants to group with you if you just spam invites on people. Whatever happened to asking first? If I get asked I will join any group.
“I was ranked in the top 5 in the world in BF2, ranked number 2 medic and ranked number 3 assault rifles…”
I thought Black_Jesus had them ranks in BF2. Medic and assault rifle.
Elementalist are fun, but reports had been said they fold in half very quickly when hit. Meaning – Very Squishy.
Not when specced and played right, they don’t. And I don’t even mean 30 in both Earth and Water with full defensive gear and a staff- I’m double daggers, 10 Air/30 Water/30 Arcana, with a balanced gearset, and can hold my own against five normal Risen and a veteran in Orr, and outsurvive other classes in dungeons. It’s just a different, more active kind of survivability.
You know better then I do, I never made an Elementalist. I am sure you could hold your own but how was it before you where 80? You don’t have all the point traits like you do now, a few said 20 -30 and on is a rough road and you die a lot being so squishy, do to lack of points, Not there fault, just the game designs fault. I also heard Elementalist got the nerf Bat along with Mesmers not to long ago.
Here’s a few tips to ease some leveling pain, in the lower brackets.
Starter zone you are in:
Do hearts and map completion while doing hearts.
after you finished your level 1-5 hearts.
Do city map completion of the main city your character is from. IE Norn – Hoelbrek, Charr – Black citadel.
Be sure to Harvest EVERYTHING on your endevors – Wood, Nodes, Gathering. Very important, the Wood, Nodes, and Gathering a lot of times yield more experience then killing something.
When you get stuck in one zone, Move on to the next starter zone and do the same as above.
To get to other starter zones, each main city will have an asura gate to Lions arch. Get to Lions arch and pick another gate to walk through, then you are in a new starter zone.
While in Lions Arch do the City Map completion. When you get to the next starter zone do that city map completion.
TIP:
The guards at the Asura gate will have guards from the starter zone. Meaning you want to go to the Charr Starting zone, look for the gate that has Charr guards in front of it. Sylvari, look for the Sylavari Guards. Norn look for the Norn guards, etc. The gate will take you to the starter zone of the race guarding it.
Elementalist are fun, but reports had been said they fold in half very quickly when hit. Meaning – Very Squishy.
Sux they are bugged for you, This is why I think Cultural Gear should be Exotic, and be bought with either Karma or gold. Just keep farming Karma constanly, The Karma does not stop at full exotics, trust me you will need as much Karma as possible. 1 piece of Exotic Karma gear is 42,000 Karma, so you will burn through Karma fast.
The easiest way to earn some coin if you are finished with crafting. Mind you it not earning massive amounts at once in a short amount of time. But a little adds up over time.
Pro tip:
Sell Green and blues at vendor, not many people buy in between gear levels on the TP meaning – 33’s, 47’s, 64’s 78’s – Most buy new gear on TP in 10 level increments. IE 20’s 30’s 40’s etc, so vendor the green and blues mostly if you are done with crafting, a lot of greens and blues at vendor in the 80 bracket are like close to 1s sometimes a little more.
The bags you get, Like pinched bag of goods, moldy bag etc. that you double click to open? Just TP the bags some bags are over 2s usually a little more then 1s per bag.
Rip apart Whites, sell mats.
Hope some of this helps if you hadn’t already known.
I hate jumping puzzles, I despised Mario Brothers back in the day, Could be why I can’t stand jumping puzzles.
yes, but how much does gold scale at 80? Like quests give 2 silver ish atm. Can I expect 4-5 silver at 80? How about item drops, items yield 40-1 silver, what do lv 80 drops look like?
Nope coin is still in 1-2 silver/mostly 1. Karma events only give 378 max karma. they have Karma banners, but even with the banners I still only see 378 as a reward. 3 gold is about right when you earn it legitly when you just dinged 80. You will have enough Karma for 2 pieces of Exotic at dinging 80, and half way to a third piece of Exotics.
Its because they are the hottest ones athletic bodies, big bewbs and tattoos Zhitain maybe a dragon but even he wants to have a army of hot undead women =)
All this is confirmed, But I like the Humen female face models more and hair packs. if the Norn Females had a better starting zone better hair packs and faces I would tell my Ole lady to make a female norn instead but she made a female Human.
I bet he was planing on buying Gold from a sellers, and they wanted a credit Card or paypay. LMAO aNet not allowing to buy gems with credit cards. The credit cards are however limited, There is no Discovery seting in there.
Well on Yaks Bend server there is always people in Orr all hours of the day, farming Karma. There was so much Karma farming going on, the events had to get nerfed by aNet, meaning they made the events to take longer for them to activate then before. It’s like they go out of the way just to anoy players for the hell of it. But it has not stopped the Karma Farmers. Well not yet it hasn’t but knowing how aNet roles they may nerf it even more.
I never had a problem with logan, he seems over dramatize on certain situations. what I dislike is why does he not EVER use his infinate healing sphere on you not once. His heal sphere stays up on the very first scene on creating your character, but he never uses it, and he dies awfully fast in some situtions for his ancient rank. I was surprised what Caithe wand up being. You will see. Not gonna spoil it.

@Claudius
Nexon hey. Guess what there is talk, maybe rumor, that Nexon, May buy out ArenaNet, or NcSoft. GW2 will probaly turn into that Clunky Interface, and that never ending gear treadmill, So just want to throw it out there. GW2 may have some dark days ahead. Just saying.
Which is why I show this type of thinking. Once you get used to it you can start getting around 4-5g per hour. Plus farm mats if you want to legendary farm. Karma farming however is a different topic. I’m in the midst of figuring out the best way to go about that. Doing pvp dungeons etc I’m not really ready to say whats the best course of action.
Don’t get me wrong, I seen many of your videos on youtube, and you do explain things in a clearly matter, You do a nice job on explaining things. But if there is away around something, and people will figure it out what is the best direction to go to obtain certain things, in a matter that is legit, aNet will pull the rug out from under you.
The answer is in the game:
Plinx aNet made him spawn less then before and added Firestorm to some areas he wanders, and it wasn’t there before.
Pent and shelter(the two waypoints that connect with a tunnel) aNet added Risen spiders in that tunnel that drop nothing at all, and they where not there before.
And many other nerfs ontop of diminishing returns. aNet is a business, and as any business goes they want something that will bring in cash flow to pay for payroll, what they have is the gem shop, Any business phisophy is, how can we rake in the cash. and in aNets point of view. “lets make it so you can trade gems for gold.” “But we will have to make it hard for people to earn gold.” " How about we add diminishing returns on farming, and stick outrageous gold prices on recipes, make waypoints cost more the higher the players level, lets stick a repair fee on gear, and make a lot of certain things use to make on thing in crafting." And most important NEED MOAR TRASH. Then lets also create MF gear and bonus’s so players will sink more coin in the game. Also we have to have a lot of mats to make a legendary, We will lower coin drop and raise gem prices.
It all revolves around the Gem shop. Thats why I feel it should be dropped all togeather, and make GW2 a sub, It will make farming more fun then relentless. Anet has their constant flow of cash. We get less trash, more gold drops, and no more diminishing returns, so we can farm in peace, with out all the event, and loot nerfs.

better yet drop the cost entirely. Make a quest line for those that want the commander rank, Because all the rank is good for now are people that want an kitten stroking of showing how rich they are. I played with Commander Rank players 1 to many times in WvW an most of them have no clue whatsoever of leading a group at all. That commander tag should be earned not bought.

This is one of the main reasons the game has problems ~ forcing everyone to become gold farmers. Essentially, if you don’t want to farm gold for x hours per day – you might as well quit the game because you’re not going to get anything now.
Well do to outrageous prices of stuff in the TP(Stuff worth buying) Waypoint costs(Which increase as you level)Repairs, raising Crafting cost a good amount of coin to get you to 400, to be able to make better things that you can sell on the TP, Recipies. We need all the gold we can get, and get the gold legitly, If you do not have the gold then you can not by the better upgrades on your character. You will have to rely on the stupid RNG to get a drop that will upgrade your current gear,
You can thank aNet for all the above. They do not make it easy with the diminishing returns BS neither. All they care about is people spend RL money on their gem shop to swap out for gold. My’s well drop the gem store and make it a subscription instead, if money is so important to them.
True you can get trash Items more do to the diminishing returns, and you can get lots of vendor trash, that what, may bring in 2s and a few copper? or one to two Masterworks or Rares, that will bring in more coin then the trash, in a lesser amount of time. If you are gold farming, then trash is not the fastest way to get you there. Karma farming? Then the trash is just a bonus.
My gaming Experience: (PC only)
Baldurs Gate, Ultima Online, Kingdom Hearts, All Final Fanatasies up to 10, Neverwinter Nights 1, GW1, GW Factions, GW Nightfall, GW Eye of The North, Rise of the Dragonian Era(I got a free RL pizza just BETA testing it) Two Worlds, Runes of Magic, Last Chaos, Shaiya, Perfectworld, Forsakenworld, Dungeons and Dragons online, MapleStory, Cabal, Dragons of Atlantis, Talisman Online, 4Story, Evony, RF Online, Ace Online, World of Warcraft from BETA to Cataclysm, Rift, Eve Online, tried Aion, but liked Souls of the Ultimate Nation more(or SuN for short) Unreal Tournament, Halo 1 and 2, Fallout 3 and all Expansions, Fallout New Vegas, Battlefield 1942, BF Secret Weapons, BF Road to Rome+Expansions, BF2 and expansions, BF Badcompany, BF3, tried BF 2142, Medal of Honor 1, Call of Duty 1, Joint Opperations, Hidden and Dangerous, ArmA 2 (sweet combat sim) paitently waitng on ArmA 3, Battlestar Galatica Online, Star Trek Online, Tera. Tried Second Life, tried Planet Calypso, Dark Prophecies, Vindictus. Star Wars old Republic I did not bother with, because Battlefield had a Star Wars Mod useing the old Battlefield 1942 engine.
There are probaly a few I missed, and I did not get into Console games from Atari all the way up to Xbox 360. Don’t worry I will not list them.
How I feel about GW2:
I do not like the direction it is going, was great, until the Factal Dungeon got implemented and Ascended Gear.
(edited by drifter.8453)
“So either they add Inspect feature, or they remove Ascended gear.”
My vote goes to remove Ascended Gear, and the Fractal of The Mist Dungeon all togeather. So No on inspections.
It could be, do to all the other people on the server you are in, wearing all kinds of MF gear, Bugged the already buggy RNG system is why good loot seems more and more scarced
You forgot to mention diminishing returns. You need to understand if you farm one place to long, aNet does not like the idea so you will start to get diminishing returns.
For those that do not know it means, You may get the one rare and a few greens at first, then you will only start seeing greens and a few blues, then nothing at all except trash and maybe a blue your level. I guess anet didn’t want people to farm for gold, because then their gem shop never gets used to swap gems for gold-Hence diminishing returns.
Yeah, well I am just hanging around until something new comes out. Do to it has only been a week and people are in Fractal Level 20+. A week and 20+? Thanks to the content locust. GW2 is going in the wrong direction for my taste. Each day that goes by, since I can not spend time in game 24/7 like so many others, well because of real life being a boundry. I fall further and further behind.
Simple answer is No, we do not need inspections.
