Real life example of Trading post flipping

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: fishball.7204

fishball.7204

Flipping isn’t even a problem, it lowers the sell order prices and raises buy order prices lowering the spread which is a Good Thing™ for your average TP user.

The ‘bad people’ are the speculator/manipulators and the like who artificially lower supply or raise demand and push prices up beyond what the market would be just for their own gains.

I’m happy the prices are low and this is coming from a person who ‘invested’ in 100 stacks of candy corn.

Best Server for roaming?

in WvW

Posted by: fishball.7204

fishball.7204

I heard NSP is where all the roamers are so you’d want to transfer to something that is versing NSP if you want good fights.

DB and DH are both ded servers tho, so probably wait till T4 stabilizes.

Guardian is good for CoE imo because stability offsets the crystal bug from Alpha as well as reflects for golem and double sanctuary for Bjarl/Tree dude.

Thief is great in CoF3 and SE for skips, you can shave some time with thief but it’s one of those 5th slot I’ll bring thief rather than I must have a thief.

Pretty much all dungeons is like Warrior, Ele, Ele, X, Y. Where X and Y are usually Guardian or Thieves, with the occasional Ranger, Engineer or Mesmer. I’m speaking from a casual dungeon tour perspective, if you are speed clearing then you probably need specific comps for specific dungeons.

ps. Bring hallowed ground for guardian, it’s such a great skill.

The (problem with) NA Gold league

in WvW

Posted by: fishball.7204

fishball.7204

Push weeks haven’t been a thing for BG for months now. They did exist before but BG don’t do them anymore.

Push weeks were just guilds and commanders doing overtime for PPT/win that week (eg. NA guys staying up till OCX, OCX staying up till EU, Koreans playing 24 hours etc).

There’s nothing nefarious in T1 contrary to your beliefs. The only thing different in T1 compared to every other tier (especially imbalanced ones) is that every server up here gets 2v1’d constantly across multiple timezones which keeps PPT somewhat in check. No T1 server can maintain 3 waypoints on their home BL for any length of time for example.

Ugh, I just assumed I’d have all the traits on the chars I have all the traits for, maybe having to buy new ones.

So many chars at or below 10% map completion…

I got like 10 80s below 10% map >_<

They’re all WvW and dungeon chars too so i’ll need to get the traits and skills ;_;

This is why ANet should have done separate balances for PvP/WvW and PvE. Turrets are filth in PvE but “OP” in PvP

Le sigh though, only niche use of turret now is 4 man cof 1

I run with two or three guildies due to the loss of players from lack of content. So we have to pug the last two spots. I myself main a guard and always have my greatsword except for the most rare exceptions.

And no, pugging isn’t fun at all. Sometimes I have to pug all 4 spots

I actually got a group that failed the bomb room on CoF path two the other night cause an ele died due to fire then mist formed off so we could get the bomb without resing her. When she went down down the warrior decided it was a better use of time to res her from death (despite her telling him to go run bombs) rather then run the rest of the bombs. And when the other ele died there was still a bomb setting there no one even picked up to run

Gawd I hate pugs.

Yeah I stopped doing dungeons after being down to 2-3 people only. Nowadays I just sit in DR trolling map chat or something lol.

So glad I don’t really need the gold right now or I’d be so mad being ‘forced’ to pug.

Why the hate for open field siege?

in WvW

Posted by: fishball.7204

fishball.7204

People usually go to the open field to get away from siege sooo dropping an arrow cart or a ballista there kinda annoys people in general.

I can understand a treb or cata being dropped to lure people out of their structures but that’s kinda not really the type of open field siege people hate on.

WvW Lag March 2015

BG BL this week is on the IP address 64.25.38.162. This IP address was reported as ‘laggy’ 4 months ago and is now once again laggy. It could be a coincidence but the last time this happened, I recall someone from ANet said they removed this server from the cluster alongside with .161 and that temporarily fixed the disconnects/lag.

I believe this is a separate issue from the skill lag/general lag which showed up post stability change patch.

Any1 knows if they fixed p4? I saw some selling lfgs today.

Did P4 today, no problem. But it doesn’t bug all the time and I’m far too lazy to run grenth over and over to know why.

Did p4 just now no bug either. Hard to say if it’s fixed though, didn’t know what was broken in the first place.

Edit: Coe p2 also no bug when I ran it.

Yeah I’m just heavily biased because I feel that ANet always fix bug that benefit the player but never the other way around haha. I know that’s not always true though.

I kinda feel that lupi needs a ‘rework’ but I don’t believe in ANet enough to not break or nerf the entire encounter. Hence I would rather them fix some other bugs.

Duplicate Identical Ascend Rings

Posted by: fishball.7204

Yes this ring has 2 item IDs:

https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/items/37098
https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/items/49394

Which is why you can use both at once.

Ring of red death has two too:

https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/items/37099
https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/items/49403

If i had to guess how this happened, it is probably the recent patch where account bound items didn’t stack because ANet generated a new ID for those items.
