Guild Wars 2

Drarnor Kunoram.5180:

1. Gem-> Gold conversion gives exact amount in coins instead of limiting it to integers of gold.

Yeah I don’t understand why they changed that, I believe everyone liked it. However didn’t they added a custom button to the gems UI? (I haven’t payed attention to it… only remember the news about it).

Drarnor Kunoram.5180:

2. Offer a consumable for 1 gem in the gem store. This could be an essence of luck or a large loot bag. Something that is already easily obtainable in-game is preferential.

I’m not sure about this, even if it is 1 gem anyone could buy 800 loot bags, just as an example:

The gold gain from this is minimum, you have an 80% chance of gaining between 3-5 copper (something around 19 silver with the minimum, I believe).

However you can still get a good amount of T5 materials and silk scraps, it might be too easy to promote those mats to T6 and gain lots of gold, driving both material prices way down (imagine everyone buying at least 10 bags with their spare gems).

Well that’s how I see it, I’m no economist, but I would go with option 1. The 1 gem option seems to be too problematic.

Both seasons have their up’s and down’s, S1 had lots of content while S2 so far has lots of lore and story.

If I have to be honest I have zero interest for S2, it’s been horribly boring so far to me (and I do like the story). However I feel like we’re getting nowhere, taking baby steps for everything.

idk it’s been like this since the breaks and WvW tournament, maybe I want a bit of both seasons, or maybe I’ve done everything in the game and there’s nothing new so far that can re-sparkle my interest…

However I do miss S1 content…

Sweet thanks for offering in doing things like this

I got a team that is willing to improve and I’m sure they’ll love to learn more about this rotations, they’re willing to participate if/when you do this again.

Shouldn’t this actually encourage more defense and scouting?

If you don’t want your objectives to be taken away, have some people on patrol duty that can call the big guys in case things go south. Instead previously all you had to do was watch the map whenever there were white swords on a building.

Dunno, that’s my humble opinion.

Zera Allimatti.2541:

Please, Lion’s Arch deserved a better villain.

She annoyed plenty of people, to me she’s the perfect villain.

inb4 more rage comments from WP lovers.

Gate controller is awfully easy, start spamming your attacks, when you aggro the charr use greatsword #5 on it, wait until he’s about to attack you and then use the #5 skill again, that will make him charge the attack again and you can destroy the controller in time.

Easy peasy.

The TP on Ebonhawke is a great place, there’s not too many people in there and has most of the services found on any city, with the exception of the Mystic Forge.

Signed, but just because I want to be popular, don’t know what you guys are talking about

^ I would sell my body to science if you make the same deal for the Wintersday minis (I NEED FOOSTIVOO!!!)

Lord Kuru.3685:

Malkavian.4516:

I’d imagine that if they do have in stock, they’d sell like hotcakes in several minutes until there is nothing left.

or maybe they sell poorly so it’s not worth it for Amazon to stock them anymore.

In that case the item would had been deleted a long time ago -____-

/logic

Hopefully not gonna happen

^ My fingers are still bleeding, everyone must suffer what I have suffered.

Please we need more people using turret builds, they’re hella fun specially if you are using a thief:

1. Slot “Scorpion Wire” in your build, doesn’t matters if you’re traited for it.
2. Wait until the engie spams the turrets.
3. Use SW on the engineer.
4. Watch as he goes running like a madman to the turrets.
5. …
6. Profit!!!

It’s just too funny that they can’t fight if they’re not near their turrets xD

Nightshade.2570:

sendaf.8375:

I understand that they really can’t say much; but at the very least some sort of post where a dev or mod admits “yes the server matchups are extremely imbalanced and in no way conducive to game growth.”

I am trying to understand how this would help anything. I think its more productive to work on solutions, it is almost like you want the Devs to admit fault? These arena net employees?

That’s normal on this forums, everyone wants to know everything the devs are doing and make them post about it.

“Hey guys!! Just passing by to let you know that we are listening and that I had an amazing roast beef sandwich today!!”

To which everyone replies like it was some sort of Messiah “Dear God thank you for letting us know, we can drop our torches and pitchforks now!!”

P.S. Not directed at sendaf…

Chaba.5410:

nirvana.8245:

Ive only played about 2-3 hours of WvW since the patch and have 2. Both from tower keep lords. I suspect magic find will give you a better chance of having one drop. I don’t have the collectable spoon box yet, so you don’t need it to unlock the possibility of having a spoon drop.

That’s my point. I’ve been playing WvWvW every day for 2-4 hours since the patch and still nothing. My magic find is over 100%. The loot drop rate isn’t THAT bad for the spoons is it?

Maybe your actual MF is the same as that of the drop rate for precursors, and that 100+% is a UI bug? :o

data.4093:

Pick any 2 styles and they can work together in the right game.

MMO and RTS…

hmmmm

World of Starcraft!!!!

Pros:

• Epic pew pew weapons.
• TANKS.
• Many options for professions, even class advancement (Marine → Ghost → Raynor, so epic).
• You start with enough resources to last you for half the playing time, no need to grind anymore!! (well unless you’re rushed).

Cons:

• You have to start your character again every time you win.
• You have to start your character again every time you lose.
• Arenas are based on the number of players, not on the arena types.
• Backdoor thieves are still present (Dark templars), expect 50k posts of whining about their perma-cloaking.
• To create gear you need to wait 20+ minutes per piece, don’t get me started with upgrading it to level 3.

The Countess can’t be Livia because then she couldn’t be Jennah who is actually Glint being both.

On one of the notes it says:

“Because Last Good-Bye is an achievement reward, and achievements are account based, to get more for free, visit Rox in the Plan of Attack episode instance.”

Some are also sold by using laurels: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mysterious_Seed

However there’s nothing about this one: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ley_Line_Infused_Stone

At least the majority of the account bound items can be acquired again for “free”.

Have you received your complimentary “Collectible Spoon Box” from the vendor in LA?

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Koutalophile

You’re missing out on shinies!! Lots of my guildies are getting them so I don’t think it’s that low of a drop rate.

Vanthian.9267:

I am glad someone finally said it.

Sole reason I want a block function on the forums so I never have to read that “r———-” message again. It is a shame you can’t report “immensely annoying” spam.

You’re joking right? She’s the troll of excellence on the PvP forums, the way everyone gets mad at the beginning of her posts it’s just hilarious xD

Hello new blood,

I mean hello zergling… ok this isn’t working.

The WvW tournament takes place in all the main WvW maps, that consists of all the borderlands and the eternal battlegrounds. What you have to do is simple: play WvW.

That’s it, nothing special just help your server as you’ve been probably (hopefully) doing to reach first in every single week and you will win the tournament. If you go to the Edge of the Mists you will only progress your personal achievements, so don’t camp there unless there’s a lot of queues on all the other maps.

As for your server I don’t know if they’re organizing something, you might have better luck asking on the Desolation forums, and yes it’s usually a good idea to install the voip used in your server to better coordinate.

Good luck in the tournament!!

yanniell.1236:

You can’t get anything from your opponent’s bag as it is today. What was the last time you got some Koi Cakes from an enemy’s loot?

Sorry wrong quote, meant to quote this “a small amount of food, or a booster or some silver coins. Nothing drastic”.

Current system already gives me nothing useful :P

yanniell.1236:

As said before, the best way is to get a C-O-P-Y of a NON-MAJOR item from your opponent’s inventory, like a small amount of food, or a booster ou some silver coins. Nothing drastic, just something to make the WvW loot a little funnier. Noone would lose anything.

So basically… the current system??

Kronzeh.2765:

I always end up going back (sorry for mentioning this) on WoW, which I’ve been playing for the last 8 years.

SINNER, GO BACK FROM WHERE YOU CAME FROM AND DON’T YOU DARE COME BACK HERE AGAIN.

jk, now on a serious note I usually get bored of this game when we get this weeks in which there’s no real updates to the game, so I usually end up loading some games from my Steam/PS backlog.

However no matter what, the thing that always gets me back to the game is my guild, just goofing around on TS and running dungeons with no pressure. My advice would be to either get into a guild that it’s a relaxed one or just play the game for goals, say this week I’ll complete X dungeon achievements or I’ll focus on my wardrobe or character’s appearance.

Having a task might make it easier to accomplish things and not being overwhelmed with the lots of things that are available. Good luck!!

Yeah this was brought up:

But you know, silence is the best answer ^^

Pro tip: Don’t use the search box of this site or try to search page after page, you’re better off using the all powerful Google entity.

Man I sure I am glad I bought the mini karka some time ago, who knows how many will be left now with people account binding them…

I’m probably one of them, hate the idea of wasting 1.7k gold but my collection :’(

Now Anet please bring back Foostivoo!!!

synk.6907:

Another thing that’s pleased me in all of Season Two, but it’s again brought out in this particular episode, is that the Player Character is given a better spotlight. The NPCs look to you for aid and decisions, and you’re not playing second fiddle. When that’s combined with the better writing for the NPCs — both the ones you interact with and the ones in the crowd — the world comes alive more.

I don’t know… I feel like all this conversations are just to please the players about Trahearne “taking up all the glory”, the dialogue seems so forced. Ever since this new season started the NPC’s just keep reminding us how useless they would be without us.

I mean I suppose that’s what everyone wanted, not being the “second fiddle”, but this constant reminder is just getting annoying. We already know that we’re the most powerful beings on Tyria there’s no need to keep repeating it -_-

To name a few, it’s actually like the only conclusion people seem to be rushing to so not sure why you say that no ones talking about it.

After all anything that references in the slightest to the Mursaat makes the community jump, hell even changing Taimi’s name to Maiti will do.

Vol.7601:

Why are they offering stuff that is available outside of WvW and can be acquired at a non-fixed rate? I’m talking about all the ascended materials, obby shards and karma.

Who in their right mind would spend these valuable tickets on items such as that?

I do sir, I hate the Mistforged skins (“ascended re-skins” with effects) and already got the mini, only thing left to use them is on materials.

Vol.7601:

At least put in something that is worthwhile, such as a Tome of Knowledge, more exclusive minis – something that you cannot get with regularity outside of WvW

Tomes of Knowledge or exclusive minis will surely make me spend my tickets on those ^^

There’s a thread already complaining about the back piece -__-

What they want you to do is to go do some events that you normally weren’t doing, besides you would practically obtain that +5 agony infusion just by getting the pristine fractal relics even on level 1 fractals (which are stupidly easy to complete).

Seriously this whinning on day 1 is getting really annoying.

Faux.1937:

Needs way to much material for a crappy back. I personally dont agree with the amount of work/items it takes.

If it’s such a bad backpiece why are you even trying to get it? Or is it because you weren’t able to craft it the day it was released and have to work for it?

Astral Projections.7320:

Does that mean you will no longer get the rewards for doing dailies, the laurel, karma and mystic coin?

I think it’s just the achievement points.

Esplen.3940:

The only actual problem with my picture is that shoulders, for some reason, love to be huge. If it was scaled to my character size, it wouldn’t be so bulky on a MEDIUM armor profession.

That’s why I regret getting the radiant pieces first, the shoulders look way too big.

I always wanted to have some sort of battlemage, so this were the perfect fit for my Sylvari Elementalist… figures the shoulders take up too much space :/

I haven’t seen them yet in-game but I have one huge question about this “GW1 weapons”…

CAN WE DYE THEM ANET???

That was one of the coolest things about the Chaos Axe, changing it to great colors like red o green, is it going to be forever white???

I’ll pass on this if that’s the case.

Um… what do you mean that it wasn’t hinted anywhere in the game that it got replaced? I ended up noticing it once my shouts weren’t clearing any conditions (missing 6th rune on water breather).

sorudo.9054:

you’ve done it, power to you, so what is your advice, not elitist comment, how it could improve and how someone with barely any time to do the achievement.

If you’re actually having that much trouble you can always use a guide, although all that “casual” talk is getting pretty old.

timmyf.1490:

But please, please: it would go leaps and bounds for them to just put a quick, “Interesting ideas here, keep going” every so often. It would take 30 seconds but would lead to so much more red-tag visibility here.

I have never understood this, why is it that the fact of a simple “yeah go on” suddenly makes things better in WvW? Everytime a dev posts on a topic everyone’s mentality suddenly changes to “omg thanks so much for posting we were dying here”.

I’m not directing this at you timmy, but at most of the WvW related threads that I have been looking at recently, some PvP too. I really don’t understand the “magic” this dev replies do since I honestly can’t feel it…

Because in the end people will continue to demand the developers for more replies and more elaborate ones, oh well don’t mind me too much…

HyruleanHyroe.1473:

kta.6502:

—Rytlock’s ritual will fail. Why? If Rytlock succeeds, Anet will be breaking their own lore. According to GW lore, only a human can cleanse ascalon of the ghosts.

Ah, but it actually only says that it will be cleansed by the rightful king of Ascalon. It’s entirely possible that refers to a Charr, since they originally occupied the lands before humans took over. Adelbern may have laid a curse without realizing the actual implications.

Hmm the Forgotten occupied those lands first, although some people say it was the grawls that did first (can’t find anything about it):

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Forgotten

“Archaeological evidence shows that the forgotten were spread throughout continental Tyria as well as far as Cantha when humans arrived on the world. They are known to have warred with the charr on the borders of the Blazeridge Mountains sometime in Tyria’s past prior to 100 BE until they retreated, but otherwise their stewardship is thought to have been largely peaceful.”

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lore

“Sometime after the fall of the Elder Dragons the charr race united under their new Khan-Ur and conquered the lands around them – said to travel north, then east along the Shiverpeak Mountains, and ending in the lands now known as Ascalon. During this time they warred with the forgotten at the mountainous edge of the then Crystal Sea.”

Um… why do we have to pay to give our feedback? Why not just create a poll after each release and send it to Anet with the results?

Since you know, being free everyone will participate and charging for it not everyone will…

ArrDee.2573:

Hello frands! Vee Wee here, #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

Congratulations Blu!

Vee Wee is amazed at how everyone all chipped in for a dedicated member of the Guild Warts 2 community! This gives Vee Wee an idea! Vee Wee would like to start a fundraiser for Arenanet! For every x amount of money we donate to Arenanet, Arenanet has to release a balance patch or fix Skyhammer or buff Engineers or something else the game desperately needs! How much would you all donate!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

No one cares if you are number 1 engi lol.. 1st off there are not that many “good engies” to compare you to.. second off most of the lvl 80 spvp rank people skyhammer farmed.. NOW if you were to say you were in your 60-70s that would be legit.. but anyone 80 now a days i laugh at.. usually they die just as easy as the lvl 10s

O and engis are in a good state atm.. prob a little to good but they are in a good spot.. stop QQ more pew pew

lol man you don’t know what you have gotten yourself into

Already got all my phoenix skins, don’t care much for this Leyline ones

-1 here

Anet should implement that whenever someone asks for this all waypoints are increased in price by 20%, also the tax from TP transactions should also be increased by 5%.

No more mounts requests.

Yeah sometimes white gear is great, I think I have received Orichalcum and Gossamer from those salvages? Or was it mithril and elder? Anyway what bothers me is the fact that a reward chest gives you junk items…

“Congratulations on completing one of the hard achievements, your reward is more junk!!”

Im Mudbone.1437:

There are a few things listed in collectables that aren’t in the game as well, PATIENCE GRASSHOPPER.

BUT I WANT MY EPIK SKINZ NAO!!!111!!!one1!

I don’t understand what’s all the fuss about, hasn’t it always been the case that in-game lore comes first and the lore from external sources is second?

Or things can’t change during the development process? From what people is saying that interview was 3 years ago and the age of the second-born was based on that, well now we know the “real” age due to the in-game specification isn’t it just a matter of changing the dates??

If there’s a contradiction somewhere just raise a ticket or post a thread (like the timeline one) to let the devs know and then let them figure it out the changes, instead of doing some rage-quitting threads which serve no purpose.

Or out of the sudden this means that they will now reveal in-game that Abaddon was actually Chibi-Gwen in disguise since they can do it because it wasn’t detailed on an interview 3 years ago??

Ominous.7583:

I still can’t beleave you guys voted for thamnova over fall of abbadon /facepalm.

I still can’t believe you wanted to see Scarlet on the Fall of Abaddon, because yes they would had introduced her in there somehow /facepalm

What do you mean, the loading screen?

NOOOO I don’t like it at all, as you said it’s just a bunch of paint brushes all over the image, can’t really tell if it’s a mountain or a cliff. I would prefer that they keep doing the loading screens just like in the previous versions.

Yeah I can give you a screen of my achievement, that counts for being awesome? ;D

I’m not good with jumping puzzles so I got really frustrated with the one of the story (no zephyr skills), however the only real problem in it is the part where there’s a vertical bamboo blocking your way, that jump can lead you to your death many times (although thankfully there’s a checkpoint nearby).

However the rest of it was really easy, tooked me like 30 minutes to complete I think but well it’s something that I’m probably not going back to do again, might as well be hard.

Xenon.4537:

They already got the assassin armor in the gem store.. can we PLEASE have SOMETHING to earn in game???

Um… Tequatl and Wurm weapons? Champion bag weapons? Dungeon weapons/armor? Less QQ more TP?

But isn’t it account bound? :o

I simply take it from my bank with characters that don’t have access to any fiery weapons.
