Guild Wars 2

Have we seen if these are going to be used in the future or just the gauntlet recipes? I have so many so not sure if to sell them or hold on to them.

Rodgort actually has a special animation. At least on Guardian. When using Zealot’s Fire instead of throwing a ball of fire, you throw a dragon head.

It’s pretty cool, but the problem it’s kinda small.

I never knew it did that I made it for my mesmer and I wish I could use a skill to shoot a dragon head!

That is interesting. Isn’t Assassin’s like a ruby orb though?

I don’t think they are going to be bound, just armor. Even high end items like infinite light are not going to be bound.

What is going to happen to recipes? Ones that you can buy or ones that we have learned? Are they going to be adjusted or disappear?

I believe the developer in this thread indicated they would be changed to produce a new stat combo.

EDIT:

I am sorry you had a bad experience in your former job. Here our developers actually talk to us and give us information we need. So what I am posting here is coming straight from the people working on the changes.

To answer a few more questions:

• If you currently have listed an item with MF on the Trading Post, they will be returned to you, as they become account bound.
• Upgrade components that currently give MF bonus will be updated with new functionality.
• All existing drops and crafting recipes that have created Magic Find gear will be replaced with new stat combos.

The recipe will be changed? Ok I will scroll through I do not remember reading about it.
So will sellable recipes become account bound or just be changed and still available to place on the trading post?

Edit- This is for the actual recipe not the item it makes. In case there was any confusion.

What is going to happen to recipes? Ones that you can buy or ones that we have learned? Are they going to be adjusted or disappear?

Haven’t they always put a time ending on things though?

So when this first came out I was not really interested since it was a basic kit and I usually vendor my blues and greens, so I use a better kit on yellows. That said, I read a bit that said salvaging blues and greens is going to effect magic find somehow in the future patch. So I am wondering if this is still going to be available when this patch goes live. I don’t see a time limit on it like the other items, but would like to know if it will still be there if I decide to start salvaging blues and greens.

- Hope that makes sense :P

So what goes well with the axe mace? I have been trying it out and like it. I was thinking maybe having a ranged – so maybe the longbow, or the hammer is fun too. I really did not like the greatsword and I know that is a big dps weapon for warrior so I hope I am not really hurting myself not using it.

Interesting. Thanks for the input. I will have to give the axe mace a try. The 5 skill seemed to be really strong, but I am still in starter areas lol so you never know for sure :P

I just started a warrior and really like the axes but I don’t really see much posted about them. Is this just not something that is good at higher levels?

You get more than minis from it. I would think getting multiple boosts would be a nice surprise.

It is part of the patch to fix a bug that kept some from getting a present at all. You just got lucky and got 2 now

They simply should have held off on releasing this set.. I mean why throw it out there and then take stats away?! We knew it was going to happen but we were also assured that it would have something to replace the mf stat. So I made the set and if those crystals are needed for T7 mats and those who made celestial are out 30 crystals is that fair?

I am a bit upset to hear that celestial is getting nothing from this change. I mean really a set that takes a month to craft should have some appeal. I read that I was going to pick something to replace the magic find on the set and now I see I won’t. Why introduce the set in the first place? That is the mistake here- should have not introduced a time gated set knowing you were going to change it like this.

The ones from the gauntlet. Rune of tormenting was the only one I think.

No one ever really talked about those runes and the price stayed the same so I never bought more :P Oh well too late now lol

Right, but this post had been up a few days and it did not spike like this. I had gotten a stack when I saw they were in one of the new recipes, but now wondering if I missed some news somewhere.

Why is it up so high now?

Lol I was here at head start.. maybe I got some then and just forgot :P

Ok ty I was thinking maybe they changed it and added it since I never got one before :P

I don’t think I have ever looted a key before. Is this new? Or do I just have really bad luck and never got one lol.

Should be available now.

Ok thanks for the replies.. I guess my other one is just late :P

Yeah it just seems odd that the note with my gift said your account.. not your character so it makes me think maybe people getting more than one is an error? Or maybe it was just worded weird.

I was wondering if these are 1 per account or 1 per character as they reach 12 months. I got my first one last night but I have 2 characters that are at the 12 month mark. I have read of people getting more than one on their account on separate characters but the note I got in game said account.

So I am just curious if I should be getting one for the other character that is at 12 months or if people are getting extras because of an error? I don’t really need multiple minis but multiple boosts would be nice

The only thing I can think of to say, is that the glamour mesmer did the same thing. Promoted strategic thinking. Sure in a zerg you could pop feedback and watch the pretty numbers, but in a more one of one situation you had to anticipate what your opponent was going to do and apply confusion strategically.

And ANet nerfed that into the ground. I honestly don’t understand why they would do that and then introduce these runes.

This is exactly what I think about lol. I ran a glam build and I think it was easy to get up to maybe 10 stacks of confusion (don’t remember honestly but it was no where near 25) Mesmers kept saying that people just needed to learn to cleanse and not spam.. but yet it was still nerfed and you never see a glam mesmer any more So the argument about learning to play against confusion will never work. However, that said, I don’t think these runes are easy for everyone to use and stack confusion and it keeps them from being op. Maybe in some hands idk, but if they were really that op and desired I think that the prices would increase on the mats more than they have.

I also have not gotten mine. I thought maybe I forgot that I remade her or something but the age does list it at 12 months.

There was a post that you can get it out of the forge right now. That is why the price is dropping.

Just did this last night and wanted to say how I really liked how it was set up. The past events that you could not group for were no fun. The fact that it was soloable or in a group from 2-5 was perfect. Thought it was a fun instance as well

So I was just thinking about all the karma, gold, and skill points we are being given and was thinking maybe it is so we are prepared for the new skills/traits they mentioned before they were going to add. It could be that it is going to be expensive. That would certainly drain a good bit of this new wealth.

Anyone else have any ideas on what the goal is with all the new wealth in game?

Sad to see no fix for this in the patch. I hope it is being looked at at least.

At least you got credit for the ones you did do. Which is not happening for others that have posted in this thread.

sometime your progress is blocked for some reason.

It was mentioned in another thread about this bug that if you finish an invasion on another character, your progress will get unblocked. Not sure about it but you can try.

Hmm i’ll give this a try… nothing to lose I guess.

Trying this as well.

Edit- This did not seem to work.

I don’t think so. I am sure that will stay on sale throughout the free trail weekend. I am under the impression it will be items that are no longer available and were available for only short periods through out the year.

It is the 23rd but I am not sure what time.

I don’t see how it could be on your end though. My account is tracking the achievements fine, my husbands is like it is just frozen.

Really.. no you cannot say just do it enough times and get passed the bug.. It is stopping progress of the story. You cannot finish any other achievements until you get at least 5 for Vorrp and my husband is stuck at 3.. 3 today none counted overflow or home server.. It needs to be fixed you cant say just do it over and over again with it almost an hour each event.

It is bugged.. husband stuck at 3 and has done 7. Cannot advance in the story because of it.

Well now 7 areas and achieve is at 3 all the loot from completing it though… Could someone please tell me how to get support on this?

Some accounts it seems are not getting the achievements when they do them.. overflow or home server. Not sure what is going on.

I think the zones are not counting and not sure what to do. I have a post a few down.. my husband is stuck at 3 and has done 6

Just completed another event on the home server on a different location that had not been done and still stuck at 3. Getting the rewards for completion but it is not counting as an achieve. So far he is at 6 areas completed and it is giving him credit for 3.. so it does not matter if it is home or overflow I guess. How can we get help with this? Can someone check his account if this is only happening to him?

We did it through bug report is there another way to report it that we should do.. because that one seems to say it will not let you know what happens.

We have opened a ticket, but with the weekend coming up and him only being able to play limited time during the day it is a pretty safe bet he is going to get overflows and he is stuck on progressing through the story.

Nope it had not been done. Sitting here watching my husband get no credit for events if he gets in overflow. I know he cannot be the only one. If he gets in a home server it seems to work. I am not sure on my own because I did not pay attention to my numbers and was in all home servers last night.

I don’t know if anet has responded to this but overflow servers are not counting towards the zone achievements. It will lock you out of completing the story if all you get is overflow for the invasions. It is not counting any areas even after finishing the event through killing Scarlet.

Yes you can do that with a make over kit. You do not have to change everything and it keeps your settings.

My husband only credit for 1 zone and has done 4 zones. There is something wrong with the tracker.

I think that by allowing programs to continue to interact with the client Anet is playing with fire.

There are programers out there that are merely trying to help, but there are also programers that are out for themselves. Those are the ones that we need to worry about. For them to be able to take this code and potentially create a program that can buy and flip in the tp with ease and basically run out completion by never letting them be the high bid is scary. Those programs will not be advertised or available to other players.

So where I am
1. A player should not have to use an outside program to be competitive in the trading market.
2. Allowing real time access to bids and auctions is a gateway for trouble from bots.
3. I was under the impression that Anet did not allow outside programs.

All and all I think that either we will see Anet take a stand at some point or we will see a flood of programs. I am completely fine with graphs that track past data for people to plan their auctions, it is the real time notices and access that is an issue.

Ahh so that is where the defense came from. I should have quoted aeneq but instead it was a reply right under them earlier in the thread and I did not think it was necessary.. and you took it as you darkspirit -instead of you as aeneq.

Ehh I tried to add the quote I was referring to it but it is not working but anyways. Considering there are multiple people in the thread I am surprised it was taken that way.
