silk isnt a problem
leather is
This. Silk is a thriving market with lots of different uses and demands on the supply, Leather on the other hand….
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can’t farm for leather any more easily than you can farm for cloth, but leather prices are still low. So it doesn’t look like the farmability of silk is the driving factor behind the price. (At the end of the day, most people who play the game do so to have fun, not to farm like a crazy fool all day.)
you know that dodge isn’t there to pe spamed but actually used with head. And also you have stun breakers, and condition cleaners, and NO no matter how skilled you are you can’t kill a champion alone. Champions are by definition something you do with a party or a group of people.
The skillbased part is meant for higher level content and mobs…not Bosses. Also you need at least one more, or two players to beat a champion…
I can solo champs in lower to mid level zones on my 80.
I’ll use it on my Tengu when they release them as PC’s.
Insert “bring back capes” comment here.
did you say something about mounts?
Or you can undercut by 25% if you are still in the margin of profit and make the person following your guide either buy it and profit a little to keep the margin active or let the market determine the proper price/margin. If you play the undercut by 1c game you will get undercut by people who have made buy outs and have hidden supply.
With the might nerf and the stab changes are we going to see melandru runes coming back for frontline?
All these angry people about a random thing. An old quote I heard a long time ago applies here. “Never gamble with something you are not willing to lose”
I notice a lot of these threads are from people saying “I dumped 10000000 greatswords into the forge and got nothing qq” They are not happy about losing all the gold the invested in crafting weapons and forging them.
I am never mad when I dont get a precursor because I do it casually and dont miss the small investment over time. I just use rare weapon drops and forge them all. I have pulled 3/4 precursors I have had from the forge but I dont care how many I have put in. Because it is gambling. Either I get what I wanted or not, simple aas that and I move on.
Dry top dust farm usually get me 1-2 charged lodes/sandstorm
Lightning Rod Ele approves.
5s tip after port every time. Even if u get crap you can salvage it and make the balance back.
Epic levels of laziness in players has resulted in them asking for balance to be thrown out the window in favor of convenience. * pets thread *
This entire quote describes WOW perfectly.
GW2 PvE players also.
The OP is a terrible idea.
I will not teleport because the wp is far away. I rather wait till someone resses me up.
Good, I’m counting on it. If they refuse to take 5 seconds to res me from downed state, then they can die.
If my corpse causes people to fail the run, then good.
If events fail while I’m on the ground, then fine, at least I did something entertaining on my time.
…And if I wp, I got to walk a literal 60 seconds of a boring walk and I am not allowed to afk because I might hit a wall or a small rock.
I refuse to wp because it’s boring.
It is selfish to force me into this boring action of walking from so far away. Making me do what you want because it gives you ‘fun’/‘time’ or ‘whatever it is you want.’
I think he’s working too hard for it…
Hardly an issue eithinan. [Snip: description of event, Thanks I’ve been farming it a lot, I get how it works}
Artaz is pretty much reiterating the point most of us are trying to get others to understand. The game makes no difference between someone dead or downed. The other reason we want people to waypoint if they die is so that you are not in our way of reviving the downed. We’re all various levels of “sorry” that you died, but… you died and your importance for reviving just dropped to the bottom of the list to tie for last place with other dead people. Hell, if it’s the zerg commander that dies, instead of picking them up, I’ll temporarily take their spot as a commander and lead until they waypoint, run back, and are able to resume command. Far more efficient that way.
I am begging you to please look at my post history or at least read the rest of this thread so you know where I stand with regards to WP when downed and my understanding of the issues with the fully downed…
With regards to the post you were responding to it was a tangent as I clearly stated, but I think is connected to what we are talking about in this thread. I was referring to in that post the people on the map who were camping south and when the lane failed hit the road. Most of them were just half afk tagging things with range attacks.
edit: here was my first post in this thread…
I would like to see forced wp after 1 min of not being rezzed at cost with an addendum. If you are forced to wp you are shunted to another shard and lose credit for participating in the event. This would solve the tag and afk mentality of a lot of these event farmers who leech off the population actually trying to complete it.
Tangent: I was just at a VW and the south lane had 80% of the people on the map at it. it failed, then all those people bailed on the event leaving south a mess with 2 champs and tons of mobs. I shifted from north to find no more than 7 people trying to contend with those champs and escort the siege carrier. The map ended up succeeding on the event because we taxi’d people in who wanted to participate but it was close.
This tells me that there is an issue with GW2 and the open world event content that really needs to be addressed. This added a whole other level of complexity to the fight that completely draws someone out of the gaming experience. I don’t care how hard content is but this is breaking the 4th wall and all that.
Yes and I do rez people in the open world if I happen to come across them, but that is not what I am talking about. The discussion was about people lying dead during events waiting for rez and those people who rez them are now not doing DPS. People should help the downed every time unless it will cause them to die during big bosses but not dead.
The FULLY DOWNED should have the consideration for the other players to WP and run back. This is something that really hasnt been brought up much this thread, is how inconsiderate those who sit around waiting for rez are being to everyone else who are contributing to the success of the event.
a dead player is a dead player, we have ress for a reason.
maybe i am one of the odd balls here but i actually help players get back up, it’s called cooperation, look it up when you feel generous for ones…..
When there is no logical argument, resort to insult.
I just meant if you were planning a round 3 and were starting a project from scratch.
i think your kind of player is the exact problem here, if someone has to wait more then 1 minute for someone to res then guess who is really the problem here.
During an event like Teq or THW burn phase, its the person lying around completely down on the ground, the reasons have been explained ad nauseam above.
death happens, just because someone died and waits for someone to res doesn’t make them a leech, don’t think so negative about ppl and start ressing if it bothers you so much.

Thanks again for this interesting read Wanze. If/when there is a round 3 could you possibly not announce at the beginning that you are doing it? I really would like to see what would happen without it being revealed to people here who may try jumping in on the action.
I didnt hop on either of these trains simply for the fact that when its common knowledge that something like this is going on you will be getting other hangers on.
Do you think the other investors who may or may not have been burned by the clam recipe experiment not doing there own buyouuts of your initial buyout and relist had an impact on your success? Like the old saying “burn me once shame on you, burn me twice shame on me?”
As far as we know, according to past Dev statements, the dead do not scale up events. This seems to be misinformation that is commonly accepted. I’m not sure why.
So WHY does it matter if they lay there dead?
We already know the dead don’t impact the scaling,
I would really like to see the source of this information please and not Inculpatus cedo, but a dev post.
On the subject of loot…..
PSA: you get loot even if you are not in the area if the event completes.
I will often use blue as a home base and run to red or blue(usually) if they need help. I have often gotten rewards from the bull I may or may not have tagged on the way, or from a defend event at indigo that completed successfully, that I was unneeded at. The real thing to remember is if the event fails there is no loot.
I would like to see forced wp after 1 min of not being rezzed at cost with an addendum. If you are forced to wp you are shunted to another shard and lose credit for participating in the event. This would solve the tag and afk mentality of a lot of these event farmers who leech off the population actually trying to complete it.
I like this idea. I usually run the South Hills or South boat, and I always announce to party first priority is to train mobs onto the afk players right away, no tequatl burn for them unless they WP and run back.
My bow has plenty of pk’s in this PvE environment.
I think I did south hills with you during some PUG run because I remember this happening exactly as you describe. I would also be lying if that didnt help plant the seed of what I suggested.

This would also greatly discourage new players learning an event like Tequatl where they might die, or punish a player who has a perfect round and dies unfortunately. People would shy away from doing parts of the world boss where they might die. Like doing melee in the first phase of Tequatl, usually someone inexperienced or who becomes distracted for a moment or has some lag dies to a combination of knockdown and poison. Stripping rewards because of a small mistake when they might be doing well otherwise would punish real players who are not leeching. I don’t think it is a good solution if it may punish players who are participating legitimately or learning the fight.
This idea is utter rubbish and I’m not sure you should be allowed to play with others with a viciously punitive attitude like that.
If people are really participating then that 1 min timer would be plenty of time for them to wp and run back. In fact it takes less than 1 min to run from the main camp wp to the VW area. Otherwise you are simply leeching. There is no punitive issue at stake here for dying. It is simply for not using a wp and actually helping with the success of the event after one has gone fully down.
As I said in the previous post, this would solve the “tag the event and go afk” problem that has become overwhelming with the large amount of farmers who do the bare minimum to get rewards off the backs of people actually trying to succeed. This would also help solve the issue of people just going afk near the lanes and alt tabbing while others fill the completion bar if they get killed.
@hazenvirus.8154: To be clear to you, this isnt a punishment for going fully down, I die at teq in the zerg unless Im on my guardian all the time. I certainly do not want to miss out on rewards, but I dont want to take people away from the dps they need to do during that first phase while rezzing me, so I wp if I die, like everyone should.
@naiasonod.9265: that was needlessly mean. With an attitude like that I am surprised you have any friends. I am going to assume I touched a nerve there mentioning tagging and going AFK. Something you do a lot?

The triple trouble get completed daily. This is the [Problem/best thing about,depending on your opinion] with giant PUG raids. You get MANY fail attempts and a couple successful ones.
The event is not broken or bugged, and if you really thought it was bugged you should use the appropriate forum for bugs.
LOL, are you really talking about aggro on the gw2 forums? Also they have issues when you mention other games by name.
Congrats on your first 80. Now here’s the most important thing to learn in this game.
Active Defense. No other mmo to my knowledge uses personal active defense as much as gw2 does. Dodges, blinds, Dodges. invulnerability, DODGES, etc.
Key bind dodge to an easy key for you to hit because it will be the most used key you have.
Welcome to the GW2 community and good luck and have fun.
I would like a simple option to hotkey autotargetting without having to open the options window every time i swap between a ranged build or melee build.
^He has not convinced me of anything except his lack of altruism as for now.
Altruism: the belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others.
Your feelings of being Entitled to more laurels that you deserve is in no way affecting your well being except in some damaged psychological way. In response, How much real money have YOU given to various charities and good causes over the last year?* I know my conscious is clear on how altruistic I am in the real world.
Smooth has a good way of cutting to the heart of the matter in an entertaining manner, which in the BLTC forum usually revolved around people feeling Entitled to things that the rest of the players had to work for.
So he is a troll? Got it.
Maybe, but 9/10 times he is correct.
*Thats a rhetorical question. I really dont care or will believe whatever you answer.
Zerk armor with scholar(if you can keep the DPS buff) or strength runes. Then fill in the trinkets with whatever durability you may need.
I have nothing to spend Laurels on, so making them farmable in unlimited quantities is a horrible idea. Even after spending them on the Mystery Cat Tonic, and Ascended stuff, I have a pile that just sits there.
I think the best choice you could have made is not quit playing. Just because you decided to return to the game, you’re not Entitled to catching up for all the lost time you chose to lose.
Why do you always capitalise entitled?
It goes back to the old BLTC forums and many, many discussions there. I would suggest looking at smooth penguin post history and those archived threads for some good reading.

Why should I give up a laurel/day if I dont have to?
You’re not “giving up” anything.
You’re not entitled to those laurels.
I am entitled to them if I complete my DB daily.
Everyone has the potential to get 1 laurel/day from the DB dailies. Those who chose not to do the daily gave up that laurel.
Why did I bother replying to such a stupid comment? IDK.
Or people can get their guild together and run a t6 dry top. It isn’t hard. Just go on reddit. there are a couple guides there.
You can also taxi in other players looking for a high tier dry top and try to organize it yourself.
The last thing they need to do is rework the reward structure because a handful of players feel entitled to recipes and such without putting in the effort.
Not true. Dtop, a dry top guild does T6 dry top runs friday and saturday 1 hour after server reset. I also know there are a few other dry top specific guilds out there.
edit: Dtop usually hits t6 around the 30-35 min mark. They usually fill up at the top of the hour and stop taxi/ferry’s so people dont leech the sandstorm.
(edited by eithinan.9841)
Laurels aren’t mandatory either, and there are other ways to obtain them.
the DB daily is an extra bonus.. it’s not replacing anything.
So reading comprehension time. I never said laurels are mandatory, they are a reward gated by a castrated PUG spvp minigame . I’ll happily feed people kills for 2 games to get this reward. Next time they shouldn’t gate laurels with such a short list of ways to get them. If there were more options of activities where I didn’t have to see the inside of that stupid arena I would do them. But there aren’t.
Why should I give up a laurel/day if I dont have to?
you can’t expect to be able to do everything you want and get AP for it.
I know that’s obsurd to actually expect to have fun my way when I play this game. I should have consulted with you on how and where i am allowed to play.
Then do what you want. You don’t need AP to have fun.
You do need laurels though. And since you can get 1 laurel a day from the event daily you need to play dragon ball.
The best thing to get this done fast is jump into a game and just sacrifice yourself to the enemy. That loses the game fast and gets you the participation credit you need for the daily laurel.
If you dont like that technique… well then dont lock a laurel behind mandatory participation in a bad minigame.
lets play a castrated minigame of spvp where we have to PUG bad groups for achievements….
My understanding was that the loot rarity is determined upon monster death, but the actual loot item is rolled for upon picking it up. I think it was John Smith who had said something about this back in the archived Black Lion Trading Company forum. If I had time I’d try to look it up for you.
I remember this too.
The skill floor of most gw2 PvE players is so low I would find open world pvp would be meaningless.
Ascended gear is easy to get. Just slightly expensive and time consuming. There is no “gear treadmill” since they announced ascended is the final tier of gear in GW2. This method of getting BiS gear is far superior to other games that have you grind the same content over and over and over and over for the chance of getting a piece you want.
Give me an easy crafted item even with time gate over forced replaying of the exact same content….
Or uber Craft ProcYOLO RNG.
I am sorry but I don’t understand. Is that Swahili?
I see the word craft in there and acknowledge that crafting is one of the hardest and most complex aspects of this game. So getting from lvl 400-500 is massively hard and time consuming….
…sarcasm

Hey all,
A little birdie told me that some of the folks from Massively are forming a new group, so if you were on their FB page, you might want to check that out!
That’s really cool of you Gaile. Putting a red tag on this thread will get their new undertaking some new attention.
The OP presents a simple question, “Would you pay…” The unfortunate part about his request that those who would not pay stay out
As for me, well, it depends. I might buy a package deal with several types of gameplay content (like an expansion) or I might not. I would not pay a per-path fee, however.
I cannot make an informed decision on his question unless the following questions are answered.
Would there be specific loot tied to this dungeon similar to Aetherpath weapons?
If so, how is this not a P2W scenario?
the answers to the first question can make my answer range from yes i would pay for the content to no and i will quit gw2.
Would there be specific loot tied to this dungeon similar to Aetherpath weapons?
If so, how is this not a P2W scenario?
Didn’t know about this but might want to edit your first post. Comes off like just a stupid rant since it provides zero useful information. Important thread trashed before it begins.
Is this directed at me? I said please and dont think my OP was a rant. Im pretty sure 2 very short sentences does not qualify as a rant. Maybe at best an annoyed aside…
Fix this in LS please. Been that way since S2 started.
Looking kitten
tennis match?
I got a water breather out of the giant wintersday boxes. I didnt touch the spvp track. Whats the big deal?
Gee I have never seen this thread before.
because there are always pvers who feel entitled.
@ CMM: I haven seen many of these either in the past but thats because i avoided anything not BLTC or WvW forum.
@lightsbane: I think u may attract the attention of the forum politeness police by using the word entitled.
Same business today as well, got 1 more recipe on buy order for 2g, 1 sold for 10g.
Thats 24 bought for 94g and 2 sold for 20g total.
Lowest listing is down to 7.5g and 5/8 are my listings atm for a total of 57g.
17 recipes left in inventory, until now its going as expected for me.
I think i will have a hard time to recoup my investments until the end of the month and I wouldnt be surprised to run out of recipes to undercut the competition before that.
Translation: Dont get too comfortable if you are playing along. He may crash it at any point after he recoups his investment because at that point it will all be profit.
