I don’t follow? How is having a spot to gain a Skill Point Daily (which you need for recipes) or use to charge Quartz Crystals (which you need for crafting) in a convenient spot a bad thing?
Now instead of mining the quartz and WP to a Skill Point you know of, it’s all right there for you. That’s a quality of life upgrade I’m more than happy to achieve.
Perhaps I’m just pleased with the simple things……
It’s not daily skill point, just single skill (hope not single) point that stays as Place of power so you can charge quartz. I would agree about Quality of life upgrade, but I think a skill point and small tiny QoF upgrade is not worthy of being reward for Meta achievement.
-Scarlet’s death!!!
-Underwater content.
-Scarlet’s death!!!
-Nice permanent dungeon.
-New events around kessex hills
-Tower will stay forever.
-New weapon skins that are not RNG or BLC
-Scarlet’s death!!!
I hope you’re kidding, its the worst reward possible.
Hooraaay…..finally we get a new skill. Look how wonderful it is, first of all if we will be able to use it in WvW and sPvP necros are going down, it removes almost all conditions necromancers can apply. How wonderful it is that all professions will have same skill… Lets get real, Anet promised so much before the end of the year, New fractal is missing, Ascended armour (we dont really want anyway but) are missing, New skills and traits are missing, new legendaries were pushed into next year. New sPvP rewards. I am kinda looking forward to this update but it seems that scarlet is involved and it automatcally makes the update so much lame. Krait have magic and now (I really hope not) we might see some Scarlet’s futuristic technology involved. We are losing magic aspect of this game.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/ – For those of you who never read it.
It simply lists some of the features coming in 2013. Since this blog came out the following major changes came out on the major releases (the ones that last 4 weeks) and included the following:
- Crafting to 500 and Ascended Weapons
- Dungeon Reward Changes
- Champion Loot Bags
- Account Magic FindAll some major changes, then came the start of the October update and wow what a disappointment that was, one new dungeon path and 0 things promised in the “2013” blog. Now the preview for the November patch is up (well just before November) and it also has 0 new features promised in 2013.
I really hope this new update https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/october-29-2013/ is just to end Halloween and we get a real update with some real features the week later because 2013 doesn’t have too long left and there are a lot more features promised for this year:
- The rest of the crafts to 500 and ascended armor
- New sPvP rewards system (possibly legendaries in sPvP)
- Scavenger Hunt or craftable precursors (possibly the same thing)
- New legendary weps and a new type of legendary
- New skills and traits
- If i’m not mistaken the council election also promised a new fracs level (this year?)If the November patch is really this tower of nightmares then wow, that leaves 3 more patches for the year (mid November, start of December and mid December). This seems like a lot to expect given that the middle of the month patches don’t normally contain much.
Anyone else kind of upset at how the new features were rolling out and now they have suddenly stopped? I know gw2 is free to play but seriously what’s with the drop in good content/features.
EDIT: Yea I’m sure more will be added to the preview like always, just hope it’s something big.
I don’t recall any of these features being promised. I remember Anet saying they are being worked on, but not promised. You need to stop twisting anets words.
Hmmm…I bet MOST players would prefer new skills and traits and legendaries rather than SCARLET, SCARLET and SCARLET
Ummm……how do you get it?
If this was before Halloween, I would just argue with you but now I can not agree more. I have been playing since BWE, first few months, before living story crap started, the game was AMAZING, discovering new stuff, leveling characters, only 3 updates in 4 months that were WORTH MORE THAN everything else in LS, except for MF. I did like some of the updates and I was hoping that halloween would bring more than just what it did, achievement list. When they announced Bloody Prince i was so happy, I thought it would be epic as Mad King dungeon last year, it was small but better than ‘stand in candy vomit to deal more damage to DEMONIC prince.’ Now I can not agree more, living story has become too boring to play, I am kinda building up some hopes about this Krait thing coming up, hope it won’t be something stupid as other updates and will bring in PROMISED new skills and stuff.
Next will be krait priest who will be weak to…………………QUAGGAN POTIONS
Chillax people, last year everything didn’t happen on the first day, we couldn’t even enter mad realm until certain event. Mad king has yet to arrive on tyria.
Currently in game we can only get prizes by either – Grinding out certain achievements, some of the are actually fun though and challenging, RNG and rarest drops. I think it could get improved, simply by keeping rare drops rare, but also adding possibility that when you complete content, for instance maybe Lunatic inquisition, kill a legendary boss in labyrinth and beat the clocktower, you would get tokens. With these tokens, as long as content is on you can purchase new items introduced with this content. like Minis, Weapon skins, armour skins. Also instead of making every new BLC weapon skin RNG, jsut sell tickets on trading post for 400GEMS each ticket. Keep the RNG option and make BLC skins account bound. While we do have ability to buy some items using candy corn right now, it requires gridning out labyrinth ot buying whole supply of candy corn, which is certainly not FUN. Let clocktower chests have special tokens, and all other activities with all new content. Each activity would give 10-25 tokens, and you could get weapon skins from a vendor for same price as dungeon weapons, armour. Set minis a price of around 500. It will not be grind, it will just require you do some activities. Also tie these tokens to achievements, so that some of them give you extra tokens. getting 250 of these is easy, not really needs hours and hours of farming. + you have a chance to get it from drops. What can be better than that.
TL;DR – let there be LS tokens that are aquired from new content, as drops form mobs, chests and activities, as well as achievements. Make BLC skins account bound but sell BLW claim ticket for around 400 gems.
So happy I bought recipe BEFORE the update, then I had to do something else and abandoned my The Corssing farm. Now I remain with the cheap recipe :P
So I kinda ESCAPED PvP lobby, if you turn internet off and jump down you will land beneath the fog and travel around until you get kicked, so I was adventuring and found a strange Coliseum in the middle of nowhere, I sadly couldn’t shoot the location on map as I got kicked. I couldn’t get any near due to lack of time, but I checked on map and no other PvP map was near, kinda strange, who builds arena in nowhere, maybe it was-to-be implemented 1v1 pvp feature. If you know anything about this, either from your experience or DATAMINE, write anything down. http://imgur.com/Iu1D2td
Oh my god…wood logs sink……….
If you stick them in piles OF COURSE
I hope it involves scarlet. Anet need to give some hint about her agenda, and i hope it’s good. 9 months of living world updates and no clear motives yet.
Yeah like Scarlet trying to land her Aetherblade ship at the krait obelisk then suddenly her ship is struck by some krait magic and she just dies randomly. A krait then walks by Scarlet’s corpse and wears her wig.
I hope with all my heart that they eat her alive!!
Krait don’t eat rotten crap, Aka Scarlet
Looks like a updated Mad King’s Labyrinth.
Players could not enter the doors last year.
You mean openworld doors? Because you could enter those after a certain act of halloween.
There should be infinite axe that has chainsaw on it and whenever you chop a tree leave smoke behind, and some spiders spawn
sad but true. At least we have SCARLET to have fun with, yay.
Too bad Commander of the Pact is Trehearne, everyone hates him. If you are claiming that you are Trehearne…………you’re gonna have a bad time.
We were promised updates every 2 weeks and we are getting it. The Halloween update falls on 15th October, so after two weeks something else should come out and it falls on 29th, before the Halloween. So any ideas what could be Halloween – Chapter2:????? I am kinda hoping that Bloody Prince Edrick falls in love with Scarlet and takes her to the underworld, in this case we won’t have to see her for another year Seriously, what if seal that keeps Mad King and Edrick in their realm is currently being broken by Scarlet? Because Anet would kick her out of story as all the players hate that kitten.
They didn’t say that mad king will not appear now. Mad king will have to fight his kitten son so his kitteny boy won’t take over Mad Realm. He will still play LI with us and appear in storyline.
They always reveal gem store stuff later on
sometimes game just crashes, without any message sceen becomes balck
Arenanet uploaded screenshots for to-be-revealed Halloween event. I saw a new red door and BLOODY PRINCE here’s the link If you look at the end of URL you will read out BLOODY PRINCE is this Oswald’s or is he someone else, another mad dude?
you’ve never seen an exotic weapon that needs gifts? all guardian spirit weapons need gift of light, some or all of the elementalist conjure weapons need gifts too.
Next tier introduced will have this. Bet on it.
On topic:
Instead of an Ascended peice, it sounds more like a legendary. All in all, a day/night cycle hammer would be pretty nice if the design was right.
AC weapons have day/night too but they’re exotics :P
I got this idea recently. What if we could fuse Entropy and Genesis together to create day/night cycle hammer which is Ascended. I understand some of you might think that fusing those to to become ascended is too much but what if we add some more complicated mats for mystic forge to fuse these into ascended and at the same time retain ascended value. For example the resulting hammer, lets call it Gentropy for now, has a recipe of Gift of Gentropy, Vision Crystal, Gift of Ascension and Eldritch Scroll. Now we need recipe of Gift of Gentropy. this recipe is discovery recipe for weaponsmith 450 lvl or higher. you need Entropy, Genesis, Augur’s Stone, and Deldrimor Steel Hammer Head. In this case it would retain its high value and you can choose its stat combo once between stat combo of Genesis and Entropy.
This is most basic and easy change. Me like most of players do not have done personal story on several characters, do not do daily Daily and do not enjoy some part of LS. So could you add toggle options so these extra stuff wont block the screen? For everything its own tickable square so no one will be unhappy. Thanks.
I think he just means so he can switch them between characters nothing else
OMG so many people responded \o/
It was previously to closest I think or random at least. Anet mentioned that now AoE buffs favor party members in range dunno if it was already implemented or will be.
Well…. It would be nice if we could post some GW2 jokes and memes on this post. I could not think of more than these two. Hope you’ll add some

THUMBS UP
/15 char
I am trying to do world completion now, need Garrison on Red borderland. I am of course always spying on WvW changes and WvW tab. Whenever I see that a keep has been captured by my server I jump in but sadly its not the one I need. Could you PLEASE add in description which Keep or Tower do we own? because these are the two points that are many and mandatory for completion, about the castle, there’s just one. So please make that whenever I scroll over the icon show me which one. It is not that it distract me from anything, just my loading screens are too long due to internet and computer.
I think people are not really letting the gravity of the Human situation sink in here; and that’s darn-near extinction.
That and with the war ending not so long ago, I think it’s far, far too soon for humans and charr to be running around as chummy as they do. It doesn’t make sense imho.
it was a couple of centuries ago and also DRAGONS
If you can afford 3 THOUSAND greatswords why dont just buy the precursor.
I play healer guardian, yeah the rare kind.
about a month ago or even earlier someone data mined Up-coming gem store items, one of those were that you got 500 per stack not 250. I am sure it will be introduced but will have to pay some Gems for it
Except giver isn’t 10%, they kitten ed and made 1h weapons also 10%… EACH. So 2 1handers gives 20% condi duration. Before they do anything to make this ascended too, fix the 1handers to 5% each (and prepare for the qq)
Anet balance maths!
Ascended one handed have 10% bonus above 1 handed exotics and 2 handed have 10% for two handed exotics so its not 20% total.
Just rate one or two of the legendary weapons from 1-10 and write Why
Kudzu – 9/10 it looks amazing, golden arrows, small golden glow on bow but TOO MANY FLOWERS
Bolt – 7/10 looks nice but too brown and worst aura, nice trails though
I have been trying to get into opposing borderland’s Garrisson, that is owned by my server, since the reset but every time I approach it lag strikes and I can not get those kitten vistas.
Where do they drop? I think most of us want to know,
Warriors: banners, elite
Guardian: 2 shouts + staff skill
Eles: Signet (perma 25%), staff skill
Thieves: (Perma 25%)
Necros" (Perma 25%)
Engis: (healing skills)
Ranger:(Perma 25%??) warhorn
Mesmer: focus, GAMBLE with staff and GAMBLE with signet
There are shops all over the maps, you just have to find em and you can buy stuff like health and weapons.
2 handlers now cost much less to craft
They should totally add rainbow Horse shoe prints as a particle foot effect, anyone else agree? lol xD
I think someone from Anet read this comment XD
I believe some better looking ascended weapons should be discovered as players discovered all mystic forged weapons.
What are you babbling on about? Legendary weapons had their stats upgraded to match ascended, and you can choose whatever stat combination you want when out of combat. I don’t see the issue.
He meant the other expensive weapons such as Foefire’s or Mjolnir
