Missing 100ish badges of honor, 30 clovers and precursor.
I got enough money for a precursor and mats for its gift (even 100 charged lodes assuming I’m getting sunrise)
Now what’s holding me back on a legendary? I can’t decide which! Been thinking about bifrost for ele which I enjoy playing alot or any of the GS’s for my mesmer.
Need help deciding
Just stocked up on 250 obby shards for clovers incase RNG slaps me in the face, hehe.
I personally love Twilight on a mesmer (since the clones carry them too!) It’s like owning 4 legendary GS ‘s at a time. Bifrost on ele is a bit overused, I actually like Bifrost on necros more-so.
All in all I’d say go for twilight on your mesmer.
*all weapon sets possible combination as equitable slots so we don’t carry all weapons with us in an invisible bag. Easily swapping between them on out of combat
Interesting idea, it would be a sort of armory that would allow for easy weapon-swapping outside of combat, I like it!
Here’s a few improvements that I thought of for the hero panel, and starting screen:
Mini-Pet Slot - This would be an equipment slot similar to armor/weapons that would prevent mini-pets from being deposited accidentally. In addition, the mini-pet would be automatically “used” whenever changing instances, saving much hassle.
Display Back-pieces - In both the hero panel, and the starting screen, back-pieces aren’t shown. It would be nice if back-pieces showed up in these two places. Weapons showing up on the starting screen would be nice too.
Show Magic Find Stat - It would be great if magic find, like every other stat, would show up in the hero panel. This would save the trouble of having to count one’s magic find.
You’re incorrect, the Fire Elemental has a half hour respawn time as well. I’m not sure about jungle wurm, but I’m pretty sure it’s respawn time is around or below 1 hour too.
The only exploit would be guesting. The only way to fix this is to make it so you can not get the chest from guesting. There is nothing wrong with doing a dragon multiple times a day because you only get to get the chest once with that character with a three hour cooldown between the dragon spawning.
I’m not just talking about one dragon event, I’m talking about every single meta-event (basically everything tracked by Dragon Timer and a few more.)
The list includes:
Claw of Jormag
Tequatl
The Shatterer
Shadow Behemoth
The Frozen Maw
Fire Elemental
Jungle Wurm
Orrian Temple Events
And a few more…
Because all of these events guarantee rares, they’re easily farmed and exploited by those with multiple characters.
Agreed Chickenshoes this is totally an exploitable issue. So many people are just farming these events on 8 different characters the entire day. I understand Anet wanted people to spread out across the world, but I don’t think this is what they had in mind (aka grinding meta-events).
Also don’t forget to factor the Spawn timer for bosses. every 3 hours, in a 24 hour period, if i have other things to do, like working and sleeping, odds are i have 2 windows to get a chance at the chest. thats two characters maybe 3 if im lucky.
Not exactly a huge advantage..
Your not taking into consideration guesting. A ton of people in my guild are doing 5 times more events than me because they each have like 6 characters and guest on other servers.
to continue, if i wanted to get gear for each of my characters not just one, you are penalizing me for working multiple characters up for gear, classes do require different gear.
I don’t really see how meta-event chests relate to you gearing multiple characters.
As they are now, meta-event chests being character bound gives those with more characters an unfair advantage. In addition to the advantage, it allows people to grind these events for rares more so than others, which against the GW2 anti-grind policy.
Please make meta-event chests account bound, but increase loot tables to compensate.
Legendary weapons don’t have better stats,they are just to show off that you spent 2k+ gold for a skin.
They only cost 2000g if you buy them off the AH, they can cost much less if you make them yourself. Although it also depends on the legendary your making, The Dreamer is one of the cheaper legendary weapons because it doesn’t require any lodestones.
Ouch! That’s really painful. I got all my clovers in about 230ish tries I think, so the average 1/3 ratio.
My suggestion, don’t do 100 recipes at a time. Luck in this game seems to fluctuate, so do clover recipes 10 at a time over a few weeks rather than hundreds in one day.
I think the reason it doesn’t is because then people could complete half their dailies in the dungeon.
Dailies are meant to be an open-world thing.
You can already complete the majority of your daily by doing dungeons. They have veteran mobs, events, healing, dodging, and even sometimes underwater enemies, so your point is semi-invalid.
A few obvious daily tasks can’t be completed in dungeons, but they are the easier ones like crafting and gathering.
Addressing the forum topic, I agree that Champion and Legendary enemies should count for the daily veteran kills, since they more challenging.
These are some really good ideas, for skill 5 i was thinking maybe add to / instead of cripple we could have bleed or burn
If they removed the cripple on skill 5 I’d be kitten haha. It’s my favorite ranger longbow ability because of the cc and damage.
While I do agree that longbow needs revisions, not all your revisions make sense. Longbow isn’t a condition weapon so random conditions would be weird and out of place. I do agree though, that ranger longbow should have a longer range by default. I was also thinking that skill 1 could possibly ignore armor if at max range, playing off of the ‘sniper’ aspect of the weapon.
Its extremely easy to avoid DR if you dont stand in the same 5 square foot area for hours/days on end – or run the exact same dungeon path (and we all know which path that is) 20 times a day.
Small price to pay to make it even a little bit harder for bots and exploiters.
I’m not only referring to loot drop DR, but mainly BOTH types of dungeon DR. As in, 1 run of each path per character, and the DR if you run a path too quickly.
This game has more anti-farming codes than any other game I’ve ever played. I can understand why diminishing returns was used as a kind of “fail safe” against exploits and such, but now that most exploits and bugs have been fixed, it’s merely become a hindrance to the way many people want to play.
I always here Anet talking about how they want people to be able to play the way they want, but diminishing returns prevents those who want to farm for hours a day, or do dungeon speed runs with guild mates, from doing so, and caters to the casual players who are only able to get one once a day, or even once a week.
Instead of trying to prevent your player-base from playing gw2 too quickly, embrace those who have gotten ahead and find ways to keep their interest, rather than inhibiting their play-style.
This is somewhat of a suggestion, so this may be in the wrong forum but oh well.
I’ve used ranger war horn for quite some time now, and ever since I started using it, expected the ability “Hunter’s Call” to apply some sort of crippling condition. I mean, if someone had birds pecking at their face, I’m sure they would be stunned or at least blinded.
In short, I think “Hunter’s Call” should apply some sort of condition, any of the following would work:
Blind
Stun
Cripple
Daze
I wouldn’t mind a damage decrease for balance, just really want one of these conditions to be applied. Any thoughts?
If you really must resort to buying a legendary, than you don’t really deserve one. I understand people have lives outside of GW2, but if you can’t put the time in, then you shouldn’t have one. Legendary weapons are for the most dedicated players who have put countless hours into the game, simply buying one defeats that purpose, and makes the accomplishment null & void.
Here are a couple suggestions for the new chests that drop from enemies:
Make them only drop loot rare and up (including items and mats)
Make them more noticeable, maybe give them a sparkle or shimmer?
And please just fix them in general, since they can drop any rarity of loot, or sometimes don’t spawn even if an enemy drops something rare. I really like the idea, they just doesn’t work properly right now.
There have been similar posts, but I still agree. Having an mini-pet slot to auto-use your mini, and to prevent accidental depositing would make minis much better/more popular.
If you really play 8 hours a day, 50g a day is not hard to make with certain dungeon runs. You can do the runs with a friend and ask him to lend you the gold he makes from those dungeon runs and then pay him back later. Or you can sell off some of your stock of ectos/crafting materials to afford the purchase then farm them back later. Maybe it’s not desirable, but it’s doable.
I would prefer not to sell the ectoplasm and t6 mats that I’m saving for gift of magic, seeing that those are extremely expensive as well.
And just curious, which dungeon runs are you referring to? Because either I missed something huge, or your exaggerating the profit…
I bought my tooth frostfang for 318 gold 2 days ago. Since then, the 3 others that were listed have sold for 319, 320, and 340 gold. Then, there were no teeth on. Then, someone put one on for 599 gold, hoping to capitalize on the lack of current listings. Since then he has been undercut 4 times and the current price is 445 gold.
The price does not ‘go up and up every single day’.
Yes I saw this happen, but even 445g is 100g more than it was 2 days ago, which is still a huge increase that cannot be kept up with.
Or you could just work harder like the other people who have their precursors/legendaries. You are not a special snowflake.
I am working very hard. I play upwards of 8 hours a day, and have saved up 250g so far, but if precursor prices go up by 200g every time I make 100g, then it’s an endless cycle in which I will never be able to afford one, and I know I’m not the only one thinking/experiencing this.
We’ve all noticed it; precursor pricing going up and up every single day. I just watched as Tooth of Frostfang jumped up 200g in 2 days. How is anyone suppose to buy a precursor if they can’t make money fast enough to catch up with the prices? But, more importantly, why are precursor prices rising in the first place? Many people would blame the nefarious Trading Post manipulator, but I have a more concrete idea of what’s happening.
It all comes down to supply and demand. In the first few months of GW2, only a few brave souls dared to attempt to make legendary weapons. Now, as we’re farther into the game, the number of people crafting legendary weapons has gone up significantly, but the supply has stayed the same, or even decreased. This lack of supply is what keeps causing precursors to jump dramatically in price.
So what solutions are there? Well a few obvious ones would either be to increase drop rate, but that doesn’t seem like something Anet would do. The other option would be to implement the rumored “scavenger hunt” system, to give you a specific precursor. Whether or not these ideas would work I don’t know, all I know is something needs to be done about this increasing epidemic.
I just opened 40 today and got a couple lodes, obsidian shards, and another mini pet. Think you’re just having a spell of bad luck, and keep in mind, it takes opening a TON of them to get something good.
There have been similar posts to yours, about the excess rings that us avid FOTM runners have accumulated. Another idea would be to salvage them into ascended crafting mats (vials, globs, and shards of mist essence).
I also like the idea of trading them in for at least 1-5 pristine fractal relics, whether there’s an actual vendor who does this, or it’s a mystic forge recipe doesn’t matter too much.
While this would be nice, bank tabs only hold 250. There are a lot of items that cost more than that so it would be pointless. The tokens would need a better system.
Sorry I was a bit unclear, when I said 5 collectible stacks, I meant 5 columns of 250 stacks for each dungeon, thus allowing you to store 1250 of each dungeon token, and 10 fractal collectible stacks to store 2500 fractal relics.
Since dungeon tokens are an account bound currency, I would really like to see the addition of at least 5 collectible stacks for each dungeon. Since there are 10 collectible rows and 9 dungeons, maybe give FOTM tokens 10 collectible stacks?
Anyways it’s really annoying to have to clutter your bank space with currency, so please add collectible space for dungeon tokens!
While I do see some improvements that need to be made to the Trading Post, I don’t really think a timer is necessary (since it isn’t an “auction house”).
yI think the idea with the overflow message being that center is that it forces you to click it. They don’t want players to ignore the pop-up because that means more people would have to continue waiting in line until that person decides what to do.
I think you misunderstand, we are NOT talking about the message that makes you able to go to the normal map, but the message that comes up as you enter the overflow, where all you do is click one button to indicate you read it (as if)
GummiBear is correct, I was originally referring to the initial overflow message. The second one that gives you option to travel to non-overflow map is fine the way it is.
It’s the new system, I find it refreshing to have a new set of goals each day, so you’re just going to have to live with it, at least until they implement the “select your own daily” system.
For those of us who have played GW2 for many months now, the “Overflow” message when entering LA has merely become an annoyance. I propose either creating an option to hide “Overflow” messages, or to redesign the messages altogether, to make then less intrusive and irritating. Maybe just have a little notification bar pop up in the bottom right corner.
People are misunderstanding the “Legendary” category.
It does not mean that the weapons should carry some kind of legend or that it should make someone a legend for having it.
It simply refers to the rarity.
And honestly, the Legendaries in this game are much, much easier to get than the top gear in many other games.
I have to disagree with you here. Legendaries are suppose to be the crowning achievements of GW2. Whenever someone with a legendary passes by, I can’t help but admire them. I myself am on the way to legendary, and it’s a long a difficult journey (if you don’t just spend $800 real-life money that is). This commitment to a task, and the perseverance to achieve it, is what makes legendaries, “legendary”, and the person who wields one ’legendary" as well.
Agreed, there are a bunch of prefixes, such as Valkyrie, Knight, and Cleric that have just been abandoned in ascended gear, and I really think should be added.
I completely agree with your first two ideas (not sure about the third). It would also be nice to be able to trade an Ascended ring in, for either another ring, or maybe around 5 pristine fractal relics.
But we definitely need to be able to salvage and mystic forge them.
While I do agree with Anet’s decision to remove WP if in combat, I do agree with the one point you made about getting no loot because you died. If you die at the end of a boss fight, you should still get credit for killing it…. Kinda a no brain-er
Actually, you CAN’T get vials of mist essence from fractals lv20 and up. If you really want them, you’re going to have to grind lower levels (1-9). An alternative though, would be to simply downgrade a glob of mist essence into 3 vials, the recipe is on the wiki.
Actually you can get vials 20+ they drop from the jade collosus and barracuda
If so, your not suppose to be able to. I read in a patch that they said that vials shouldn’t drop past lv10, and globs shouldn’t drop past lv20.
The animation of Svánigandr is actually already in use. Ranger warhorn displays that animation when “Call of the Wild” is activated, so I don’t think they should give this animation to all Howler abilities.
Highly agree with this, my alt guardian is running a tank/healer spec, and it’s highly disappointing that such important stat sets, such as knight and cleric, and being completely ignored by ascended gear; especially when there are random, useless stat sets that don’t work with anyone’s build.
Have you tried high level fractals? They are both rewarding, and require a lot of skill to accomplish. Dungeons in general support skillful team play, but if your looking for solo PvE skill, don’t wait around, this is an MMO after all.
