Ayrilana.1396:

Which I mentioned before that the Royal Terrace had as well. Your argument against it being a slippery slope is invalid if this is what you’re referring to. You made a comparison between the Royal Terrace and airship pass. Both have the crafting stations. Since both have them, there’s no change and thus no slippery slope.

There is a very large change in that aspect between the Terrace and airship. After the Terrace was added Divinity’s Reach still had crafting stations outside the Terrace. The game’s central hub, after the addition of the airship, as no crafting stations.

The difference, and the slippery slope, lie in the services available outside of the pass-only areas, in the publicly accessible areas of each of these cities/hubs.

The fact is that the central hub of the game no longer has publicly accessible crafting, profession trainers, or laurel vendor.

Anet never said EVERYTHING would be to Vigil Keep or that Keep would be permanent new hub. They said everything EXCLUSIVE to Lion’s Arch, and oh well banks TP merhcants. All of those got moved. Last time I checked crafting stations are available in 12 other maps. And Laurel vendors in 8 others. Therefore they were not exclusive to LA. Stop being Drama Lama its not the end of the world.

piffdaddy.8014:

One word: Nexon. This was all done for money. If you don’t believe it look into nexon and their latest investment….I would say more but I don’t want to be forum banned/ censored.

Why else would vigil keep conveniently leave out the crafting stations that everyone needs because of the new ascended back pieces that came with this update? Also, to my knowledge there is no where to spend guild commendations without air ship pass

There is, if you keep your eyes opened you can see them.

They are endless potions, same like Harpy Pheromones, but endless

Well crafting and Laurel is not avilable in Vigil Keep, what a dram :O, and some people whine about it. Secondly it is exactly the same as Royal Terrace pass and people who think that everything optional is compulsory will dump 1k gems into it. $$$ for Anet

You’re missing the point. We already had convenience, they removed it and are now charging us to get it back.

You’re making the mistake between your wants and needs. Because you have a choice of where you want to go for Crafting, or MFing, or vendoring, you don’t need to go to a certain place. You want to.

A quicker, cheaper alternative is to visit your main server’s Borderland in WvW. It has nearly everything LA has to offer. If you own your Garrison, then you have access to Zomorro’s forging. Or, visit EotM. Simply press “B” to gain access.

Great example, however, our BL is currently not in our control, we own none of it on patch days. CD is a pve server.

You cannot lose the citadel, that’s where all craftings are, although no MF

Right now you are complaining about having paywall behind crafting stations, Which are obviously in all 1-15 areas, racial cities, WvW Citadels and Ebonhawke. You say that Anet makes you pay to craft and dump stuff in Wonderful Mystic Toilet, well that’s a lie. You can get it with 1 loading screen. Anet never said that EVERYTHING from LA would go into Vigil Keep, here’s the quote form Massively article (the link in the end of the post)

“All essential services that are unique to Lion’s Arch will be redirected to Vigil Keep for the time being, including Asura gates to other cities, Fractals of the Mists, and incarcerated cactus-faced troublemakers.”

The only unique services to LA were, Mystic Toilet, Dungeon Vendors, FoTM, Racial city Asura gates, Southsun Asura gate, and that’s pretty much it. You can still get Crafting Station in 12 Maps: Racial cities and 1-15 areas (10) Ebonhawke (1) WvW Citadel (1 and its free to travel to). Now please, throw your QQ thread out of the window.

PNGs are actually very good resolution pics. It’s not the file format. I use them everyday.

So how do I make my computer take better screenshots, if you zoom in just once the picture is crap

kimeekat.2548:

PNG is a lossless file format, so I’m not sure why you think that’s the reason for the horrible resolution. JPG is lossy, and makes smaller files than PNG due to that. Besides that tidbit, I’ve got no idea why it’s saving that way. Maybe it’s a Mac Client thing, idk.

Well even when I use Best Appearance the screenshot looks horrible.

So I have no idea why but my Screenshots come out as PNG. therefore with horrible resolution. I have a Mac, anyone knows how to make them JPEG again?

Welcome to GW2, where balance is made up, and everything except for warrior doesn’t matter.

Chase.8415:

Posting peoples name in forums is against rules, I would seriously edit image or delete post before you are infracted for invasion of privacy/harassment.

thanks didn’t know gonna delete it

Kal Spiro.9745:

First off, why would you assume mechanized creatures are immune to dragon corruption? Second, in what way is a lone Sylvari a Dragon Champion? I seem to recall beating her up pretty easily. Finally, why do you think she is actively following orders? Nothing she’s done nor said indicated that she’s is following orders. She may be being influenced, but she’s not following orders. So she’s doing things her own way, toward whatever end she ends up accomplishing.

Through the record we can assume that she THINKS she is independent while something in her mind keeps giving her orders. Something is commanding her but Scarlet thinks she had overcome that something and is doing everything for her own sake while that deity in her mind is responsible for all her actions. If its mordermoth I could assume that he needs something to awaken and through Scarlet he wants to get that something, probably magical energy under LA.

Please dev answer, we really want to know if the content is gonna be in instanced LA, because last time on Karka invasion it was horrific, and for most people upgrading your server performance will not really help because people with bad computers (like me with MAC version) will get 0 FPS and therefore cant enjoy the content. Please Please I hope its instanced, the Kessex Hills variant was really nice.

I think it will be instanced, at least some part of it. I hope it will be instanced.

Perhaps Pale Tree gone rogue to teach that weedkitten a lesson – although dunno why she makes her to kill thousands.

Try and enter through WvW panel, sometimes portals bug out. This map has recently been put live so naturally some problems can be expected. File a support ticket if problem continues

Here are all mechanics for all 9 objectives. Every side has 2 of the same ’type" objecitves and third one is different.

Frostreach

Shrine – summon a champion that wanders around the outer keep. Defensive
Bell Tower – can ring bells to summon veterans near them that attack enemies. Defensive
Forge – Turn into Koda’s Hammer Offensive (minor) Gain a buff that reduces damage by 10% Defensive

Badlands

Wurmholes – gain access to wurmholes that teleport you to far away locations. Sieging
Workshop – Transform into siege devouerer that can assault towers. Sieging
Airport – Buy airstrike kits that deal damage to foes. Offensive

Overgrowth

Altar – transform into Spirit of Light, gain 3 minutes of increased speed and invulnerability. Scouting (minor) end transformation and deal damage Offensive
Statue – gain access to 2 super cannons that shoot far away. Sieging
Observatory – Buy sentry turrets that reveal enemies on map. Scouting

Wait up, there’s SKritt and Ascalon finishers coming. They should be as awesome as that.
Skirtt one – “He’s a SHINY, GET HIM!”

Arkanaloth.3059:

no no I think he’s right on the mark… WVW is PVP and honestly a WvW player should be able to get anything they need through WvW should they wish without stepping foot into the PVE environment.

WvW players should gain XP in WvW combat (I don’t WvW so if that’s the case ignore this one)

Players killed in WvW should have a chance to drop gear / items on equal quality to PVE drops, including a chance to get pre-cursors. (again, if this already happens fine, if not.. it should!)

WvW maps should have one mystic forge set in an area that would mandate fighting to control it (and thus he who controls the spice … err… forge… controls the universe)

WvW maps should have crafting stations, as well as drops of crafting materials… etc..

WvW should have the option to acquire ascended gear through combat and spending tokens….

in short, a total seperation of PVE and PVP, there could even be dungeons in WvW zones and combatants must fight for area control in order for their teams to enter… blah blah… just theorycrafting but you see my point.

Nix the world completion in WvW so PVE players need not go there and make it such that WvW players can get anything they want through the gameplay they prefer. It just makes sense to me.

All the stuff you said (XP, drops, Crafitng etc.) already exists in WvW. Map completion should include WvW maps because its a key part for Legendary and i think Legendary bearng player should go through all different kinds of gameplay.

Thanks ANet, I love this update. the NEW WvW map is really awesome and so much about the story like the records. I hope Finale will be even more epic and LA will get destroyed and that mouse Kiel HANGED!

Now I can not even get back into LA after game crashing

How long will it be inacceesible?

Look at it differently, soemone might be red in T1 and another Green in T2, it doesn’t mean that T2 green is better than T1 red. All overflows will have people from different Tiers and servers so it will be kinda summed up.

I encourage precursors crafting or Scavenger Hunt (hunt MORE). I hate this current system. I have played over 2.6K hours maybe 300H total of AFK. I have never had a single prec drop. I have a guildie who got Lover from Teq and then got Spark from MF. Its so unfair that spending or not spending 800g is separated by the LUCK!

Also displacement skills will be extremely effective. I can already see the people who are best at knocking people off the islands as being the kings of this map.

Are you . . . are you suggesting my launch skills like Point Blank Shot have a use now other than to annoy people any time they see it?

Ooooh.

yes, now they annoy the enemy side Like my Illusionary Wave

Sorry, was this kinda thing in BWE1? I didn’t start plying until BWE 2 so really interested.

Krall is right, if people chat on several channels they will never coordiante. Many enough players speak English for it to work.

Spartan Amada.9621:

Can someone tell me what happened to that dagger?? It was on the TP some time ago but it’s not there any more.. Did Anet remove it?
Marjory’s Dagger: [&AgF4vwAA]

It was limited time Gemstore sale – it might come back sometime on sales for some days but I wouldnt guarantee it.

Yes but you can run in groups of five or 6 that’s it its no zerging. People just like to whine a lot

In all PvE maps you can taxi your party member in/out the overflow. Will it be same for EoTM – if I want to go to my friend’s overflow can he taxi me over through party that we normally do in PvE?

Why do pve players whine about LW in EoTM – fist of all there are now queues so you can get in anytime you want – no more “I can’t adjust it to my playtime” arguments. There are no server specifications so even low-pop servers gain same amount of people as T1 servers do. You are not restricted to playing alone. The only difference is that there are more hostile creatures – be it Legendary Bosses or players.

It’s not P2W since you can buy with Gold – yes with TOO MUCH gold but you still can.

Nick.6972:

You’ve ever heard : quality over quantity?

Quality costs Quantity is free and sometimes good.

Sptockets are useless and only needed for new stat items Zealot – Pow, Prec, Heal – which is also useless. We also lose sources to gather some materials fro 1 year but no one cares because those mats can be bought on TP for extremely cheap price – so will be these Sprockets. Its not a P2W you are not overpowered through it. One can say that Infinite mining picks are P2W because you don’t have to pay for buying them every 100 mining times.

Nick.6972:

I love how they closed the original thread.
And yet, people keep paying them real money, and arena net continues producing no real new content, maps or expansions.

GW2 seems just a huge cash cow at this point for NCSoft so they can produce better games like Wildstar.

You’re paying no subscription and get update twice a month – maybe not a huge one but its FREE

So just because Watchwork pick gives a bonus junk sprocket it is better? Please tell me how richer it will make you and how stronger you become with it. OH GOD THIS GUY CAN GET 1 EXTRA SPROCKET – WE’RE DOOMED, HE IS OP! Anet never ever stated that Molten pick would be the only one of the kind.

Meglobob.8620:

It looks pretty…

Is this map like skyhammer where you can knockback/fear other players off cliffs to there certain doom?

yes and as a mesmer I am really happy!

The only time they “revamped” legendary effects was this summer during Ascended weapon release. They said it looked cool as it is so they wouldn’t update it. I do think they have to because legendary is really good but all Anet does is stick to greatswords in every aspect of weapons

Well I coped with lowest settings and try to avoid LA as much as possible

I don’t know how many people with “bad intelligence”, sorry, play this game but all the time it is easy to figure out basic information. I am 15 and on every event I usually get what I can by myself – most of the times its pretty easy. I only look on dulfy afterwards to see if I missed something or to look for “fun2find” stuff like those dragon clues during Teq revamp. Strategies should never be pointed out because that’s what community has to figure out. I do not know if you want to be spoonfed but most of the achievements pretty decently show you where to go, or the mails that Anet send, or LW tab on top of your screen. People are just lazy to fiugre out themselves. This time it was easiest of all. You have LW tab that shows you what you need to do next. Item descriptions tell you all the stuff and if you read what NPCs tell you you are fine to go. Also, if people would not whine and listened to one another it is pretty easy to co-ordinate without TS. Its just that some people are like, “Don’t kittening tell me what to do you fggt.”

I looked into necro a couple of times but there are something missing from it so i created a couple of skills for necro which I think would make it better.

Spectral Traversal – Teleport. It needs mobility, has almost none atm only ground target teleport is through flesh wurm.

Plague Flare – Corrupt ground, the corrupted area removes conditions from allies for 5 seconds or until it removes 5 unique conditions. After it expires it explodes and inflicts stored conditions to nearby foes and knocks them back – blast finisher.

Sanctuary of Death – create sanctuary of death that heals allies and removes conditions form them – if foes get feared away and get 1 random conditions – unblockable.

Elbegast.6970:

I don’t recall any references to anything even remotely hinting at time travel in anything said by Taimi or anyone around her. All I know is she is Asura and I don’t like Asura.

Bookah!

FTFY

Khisanth.2948:

You can use the filters to hide all the lower level recipes.

but they are not permanent and reset all the time

Please make the recipes that satisfy current crafting lvl, mainly talking about asceded crafting, some coloyr so it can be easily distinguished – purple or w/e. It is difficult to quickly find the recipe you need in the recipe menu because of all being of same, white, colour.

Well if we had to wait another 1 for season 2 to get some tiny background (which was indeed interesting) I pass. I better have smaller story without exessive mysteries

I’ve had Asura guardian for over a year now – never noticed

? – Sylvari

Clearly it will be a reformed Scarlet. :P

You joke…but it didn’t really hit me until just now that it is very well possible.

Braham: Guardian
Rox: Ranger
Marjory: Necro
Kasmeer: Mesmer

I don’t know what class this Asura is. I haven’t played any of the new living world stuff. Either ele or a war? Either way, there is no Engineer. Normally I would overlook this but I am now looking back and noticing how much of a stink they’ve made about Scarlet being an engineer. Her class was really irrelevant as a villain in my opinion but it’s been stated a few times regardless.

I really, really, really hope this is just paranoia. I know they’re bad but they can’t be THIS bad at stories.

it is unspecified – she hops in her golem during combat 9yep she is that much awesome)
