Dungeon records

I hope they would make dungeon time record.

But that’lll probably make an outcry on class imbalance.

WOUld be interesting if they retune all the dungeon and make them soloable. And make a dungeon time leaderboard for soloing dungeon ranked by class.

I would think the price of precursor would drop because of tier5 material and mystic forge. I guess wrong I suppose.

It is obvious, Queen Jennah get assasinated. Logan cried.

But in the end, Queen Jennah didn’t actually die, because that is actually an impersonate by the watch knight.

So Being 1-Shot is meant to be a Challenge?

the thing with this game is “everything is avoidable”.

In other mmorpg, you have to take damage since many of them you can’t even avoid.

So its weird not being killed by something it is avoidable.

So what’s the point of making you like 2 shot or 3 shot? So it is like playing megaman with 3 life instead of one?

Truly this event has brought out the “best” in the GW2 community. I love how a co-operative MMO turned into “Stop wasting my profit from farming a boss over and over and over and over by expecting me to res you!!!! Selfish scrub!!!”

All this talk of “potential profit” makes me want throw up. I mean clearly, posting on the boards, cuts into profits too. Therefore, people are griefing me with their posts.

Although by this logic, does it make sense if I run up there solely to res people, to be considered “griefing” our baller farmers?

Ya sure, those potential profit is not important. BUt other people’s 2.67 silver is.

I really start rezing people just trying to be a “nice” guy, and for the social aspect. But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with not rezing people.

Do people stop and think they are wasting other people’s time too?

I always wp if I die. Those few people that are actually nice enough to rez me, I especially should wp and not waste their time.

This type of topic always come up. No one think about others.

Do people asking for rez think they would be wasting other people’s time?

I actually did, I don’t know how many other people think that way.

People are generally the same, weather the people lieing on the ground aksing for rez, or those farmers that don’t rez. Don’t act like they arn’t all the same.

Celestial crafting recipes being bought out

I spend like 35 gold and bought some recipe at the start of the event.

And I kick myself when the price drop to like 8 silver for most of the recipe.

I suppose they come backup again. Really mix feeling.

I’m glad it went backup, but kick myself for not buying it when all the recipe flunk to an all time low.

Now the question is guess when the zaiphaline will come back. And try to sell it before it come back.

Quartz

Posted by: laokoko.7403

laokoko.7403

Quartz, Zaitaffy etc are not exactly great investments however. They take too much space for minimal profit. So, if you ever find yourself with a bunch of money to invest, buy skins instead. A stack of Quartz would have given you about 1g profit by now. A stack of Dessert Roses on the other hand would have given you 875g profit (if you had 750g to buy one, that is)

Ya I have 23 character slot and a 250 space personal guild bank. I’m actaully using some of my lvl80 character just to store item. Those low price item surely take alot of bank space.

At this pace I’ll run out of bank space soon.

ya but the price of zhaitaffy is actually increasing. And the guy is talking about long term (1 year investment).

I honestly don’t know how many people need celestial gear, even then, they really would just craft 1 set, and use at most 25 crystal per day.

But everyone eat food, and for long term investment, food will surely dry up. Price of zaitaffy and food actually rose in the last 20 days.

And price of food is actually more tied to dragon coffer than zaitaffy. That’s why supply of zaitaffy dont’ dry up but keep increasing in price because dragon coffer increase in price.

Are you guys giving serious advice? Why would anyone purposely go to crowded dome just to save 2.67 silver per death.

Instead of waiting 5 minutes in a crowded dome, take those 5 minutes to farm some gold. That’ll pay for a bunch of repair bill.

5 minutes can make you 1.50 gold from gauntlet farming. Enough money for 56 death.

5 minutes can make you 58 silver from pavillion or frost gauge sound. Enough money for 21 death.

5 minutes can make you 83 silver from ember farming. Enough for 31 death.

Or just go to orr or frostgauge, and kill “any” monster. In 5 minutes you make enough money for 6+ death.

Why not just do a easy cof run which takes like 10-15 minutes and you can make 1.6+ gold which is enough to pay for 60 death.

The truth? You guys are too stingy. It’s only 1.11 silver for wp and 1.56 for repair bill. Don’t tell me you would rather wait in a long gauntlet queue just to save 2.67 silver.

huh? what the apple does that mean?

I tried to mystic forge it, apparently you can’t. The only thing it can do is make charged crystal.

The draconic armor and pearl weapon you make look exactly like the other draconic and pearl weapon from tier6 material. So I’m confused what you trying to say.

Quartz

laokoko.7403

My question is should I actually hold item for a year?

lets say I bought 30,000 quartz crytal at 40 copper each. Should I just dump everything at 65 copper and take my 20-40% profit and leave?

Since I have like 200 stack of dragon coffer, 70 stack of dragon food, 40 stack of zaittaffy, 25 stack of molten core, and many stack of other thing. I keep waiting for them to go up.

The truth is if I just sell everything when they go up 30-50%, and buyout another and redo the process, I probably make much more money. Instead of waiting for month/year for them to go up.

I think taking those 30-50% profit and dump to move on to the next thing is probably the better way to do it?

If you care that much about 1 silver 11 copper, and 40 second of your time. Maybe those farmer care about theirs too.

If on the other hand, you are frustrated because it degrade the community, or social experience in a mmorpg, that is another topic.

The truth is if you are really genuine, you’ll just rez by wp, since saving yourself time means wasting other people’s time.

I always wp even if someone try to rez me, and believe me I died alot in liadri. Since they are so nice to rez me. Why should I waste their time to save mine.

why not just invest in dragon event food? It cost about the same, take about the same bank space. And it is hard to determine if the demand of quartz will be there.

The demand of food will always be there, and the dragon event food is a bargain so everyone will surely use it.

On top of that, you can still mine quartz in your home instance. So if it go up, people can just mine in their own instance, or people will mine more to sell.

I have the dilemma too.

The WP run only take 1 silver 11 copper and 40 second.

The truth is I died like 50 times on liadri too, and everytime I died, I just WP even if people are healing me.

I dont’ understand the concept of wasting other people’s time so I can save time.

This morning, someone was complaining about me not rezing, so I message him if he care that much about those 40 second WP run, I care about those 1 minute waiting for him in queue too.

In the end, I felt bad, so I end up rezing him and another person everytime they die. But the truth is if the game is design better this won’t ever happen.

Why should people be punished for helping other people? I don’t get it about the game design.

Maybe there isn’t even that many farmer.

At any given time there is only 6 arena per server(with a few more overflow).

You would imagine everyone is farming deadeye. But the truth is they arn’t. There are times I can pretty much take 1 of the 6 arena because no one is farming them.

And it is pretty obvious people can make 1k+ gold from deadeye. They already could in 10 days cof before the DR change.

If there are more farmers, the influx of gold is capped by queue anyway. So overall it probably wont’ affect the economy that much. It just make a few “addicted farmers” very rich.

And most important of all, the event is over in 20 days. So if the event harm the economy in anyway, I’m sure it’ll settle down soon.

The problem is you are lazy but demand other people to wait for you like there is something wrong with them.

Just be happy you can immediately zone in cof, and slack your way through. I don’t know why you are complaining about other people.

best suggestion I can make and I know it’s a bit cliche on these forums, is to find a group of like minded players as yourself and run with them.

People are so impatient now that the last CoFp1 I ran, I came exactly 1 minute late due to a slow HD from changing a couple zones (I even watched the clock), to find people having already gotten the first champion to half health.

I always went to fireheart rise before I even join a cof group. And I have a fast rig.

It have nothing to do with patient, and have everything to do with inconsideration.

Wow, so you’re saying that it is expected that you idle in the zone, saving at most 30-60 seconds of time, in a game without a LFG system where it usually takes over 5 minutes even for something in high demand (well before champion buff)?

Not to mention potentially finding an uncontested waypoint, or doing the local event to unlock it?

Whoever expects that must have eaten their fair share of paint chips as a kid and probably still does.

Dude you are talking about cof. You either arn’t experienced with cof or is just a lazy person.

All the group in cof get filled in 0-2 minutes, so you need to actively refresh the list in gwlfg to try to get in.

Use the following website to find uncontested cof server.
http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~e8chu/cof.html

The truth is you just sit there and have other people doing all the stuff. If it is not open guest to JQ and help out on the event.

no, because all these examples are about actively hurting or impeding other people instead of suffering other peoples’ shortcomings if you will.

Real life constraints are acceptable to people with lives.

What if somebody gets a phone call on their emergency line? What if they have to answer the door? What if their game crashes due to an error in anets programming, or another popular vendor? Severe impatience is a personal shortcoming.

I get those 1-2 min short break because of something come up, washroom, water etc.

But the reality is most dungeon in this game take like 15 minutes to complete. If you are actually considerate, you’ll just leave the group and tell them to find a replacement if you need to take long break.

And let’s what I always do, if I have to take anything longer than 3 minutes break, I’ll just tell my group to find a replacement.

I actually bother to time it, it take 40 second 1 silver and 11 copper to move back.

I don’t know why everyone think everyone else need to rez you, especially it means just to make their queue longer.

Beside the point you said there is a long queue. So you have to wait those 40 second anyway. So if you meant to tell me you want to save 1 silver 11 copper…

I dont’ get all the rezing part. You want to save 1 minutes of your life by wasting 1 minute of other people’s life. If they don’t rez you they can queue faster. Not to mention all their fight is really fast and normal fight much longer. So they are the one that need to be patient by people doing normal fight.

And I dont’ get the warrior part. Warrior is probably one of the worst class to farm it. Long cool down and you have to wait 10 second for deadeye to teleport to you, and if you didn’t kill it in time you are dead.

For me I think it’s progression.

The dungeon run is suppose to be better the more you do it.

After you learn all the trick and master the dungeon, you are suppose to do it better.

But in reality you don’t. After hundred or thousand of dungeon run, it don’t get better, just because I’m grouped with inexperienced people.

Since you keep mentioning vendor price. But it is at 50% above vendor price for buy order, and twice the vendor price for sell order.

And I don’t know why you would share, except you already bought enough so you want to bump the price up.

There is another item like the putrid essence, I’m trying to stock. I definately wont’ share it, so I can keep buying it.

Many item are unstable right now. People keep buying them out at high price, I don’t know why. Maybe people are anticipating new patch.

If you can buy them at vendor price that’s fine. The problem is they are somewhat 65-70 copper. It may not seem alot, but if you vendor them you loss like 30% of your money. So there is risk.
