Guild Wars 2

So, sources of the gold are:
-events,
-selling loot,
-hearths,
-rich=gems.

Those are usually weak sources of gold, as you have to farm 50 events, do 30 hearths just for “few silver”… Unless someone is so rich, that he can spend 400$ for huge amount of the gold.

By the way, I want FREEDOM OF ITEMS, like in GW1. Here’s my another suggestion:
-let’s make dungeon weapons as Binds when equipped, not soulbound. It will be like in GW1 – you use that item, or sell it. And armor, as in GW1, will be of course soulbound (only tokens are acc bound, so you can stack them from few characters).

So….let Anet make legendary Gifts as non-soulbound…if Dusks etc. aren’t, so why Gifts Can’t be.100% world map=gift of exploration… but what if I dont want legendary? Then i could sell gifts I dont need, and buy other weapon from gold earned by selling gift.

It’s endless circle, dead zone. I buy rares. Salvage them. 0-3 ectos. I need much more ectos! So I sell ecto and get more gold for more rares, which will give ecto, then sell ecto, buy rares, salvage, sell ecto, buy rares etc…

Srsly, market is ruined, because almost every item is soulbound/account bound xD

Well then, sorry about Commander issue :P

KitaYumi, you made 100g? You must have played loong time every day… I can play around 4hours per day, and I will play less soon (studying). So I am not hardcore farmer. 100g in 2 weeks… impossible. I am selling blues, like you. I was salvaging every rare drop I got and sold ectos, like you… and now I have 10g. Got 2g from 100% map. For 100g I’d have to create new character and max high lvl maps to 100%…

For gold, you need to farm very very hard, be lucky… or exploit and be banned :P I really want some cool weapons, but I am poor

I see everywhere people talking about playing TP, and that they get at least 2g or more just by playing TP. Nice joke…

edit: by the way, I need many ectos for that weapon, so I sell them rarely..

In GW1, it was easier to earn big money than in GW2:
-you could farm ectos/obsi shards in UW/FoW,
-you could farm dungeons for rare skins, for example: frog scepters, BDSes, VS… they weren’t soulbound so you could wear them and sell if you were bored of it,
-farm dungeons, like Kath, just for platinum rewards+thing which was sold for 4k or more.
-farm events for party/drunk/sweet points and sell them,
-open birthday presents and sell minis,
-farm DoA for Tormented weapons, which were very expensive = the best platinum maker.
-farm PvP for zkeys, which were also expensive,
-farm challenges for armors and sell them.

And more… you could easy get 100k platins or even million by farming DoA. Nobody was sad because of that economy.

And in GW2? How does it looks like?
-farm events for 1.8silver… 50+ events for 1 gold.
-waste your money by teleporting and repairing your armor (in GW1 you could teleport for free),
-farm dungeons just for nerfed silver rewards (19s, not 25s, and many, many silver loss because of armor repairs). Rewards are ONLY for you, so you can’t sell them.
-I have no more ideas.

ANet simply DOESN’T allow anyone to earn any gold. You CAN’T make gold in GW2 – you can make copper or silver (which you will lose for waypoints/repairs). TP taxes dramatically decreases your profit.

Well, you think that I don’t know what I am talking about? So here’s what I am doing, and I get around 1g per day (a bit less). Now I have 4g, and I had max 10g, because I sold all my crafting mats. I want one, expensive weapon, but I’d need at least 50gold lol…
-I vendor every blue/green weapons/armors and salvage whites (sell mats),
-farm, farm, farm, farm trees/ores/plants like mad (and kill hordes of zombies in the Orr – you want or not, you have to deal with them).
-I save my money by teleporting to LA by the Hearth of The Mists teleporter,
-sell every mats,
-I tried to salvage rares (crafted by myself or bought from TP) for ectos…not worth effort,
-I tried to put 4 rares in the Mystic Forge hoping for exotic…I succeed few times, but it’s waste of gold anyway.

I already tried playing TP, but it’s not worth effort. Mats needed for X item are almost as expensive and just X item, and of course 15% tax eats your profit. Buy low, sell high? then someone undercuts your by 1c and you lose money for typing your item on the TP.

I am nearly depressed when I see people with Commander, which costs…. 100g! Here WAS NO other way to get 100g+ than exploits… some people were lucky/smart and bought butter before Butter Crisis and made huge profit. But I can’t see the future.

What about changing Gifts, needed for legendarys, to non-soulbound? So you can farm mats needed for Gift and sell it?

But it can sometimes result in nice looking weapon. Hearth of the Mists greatsword, for example. Here are still unknown recipes which also might give beautiful looking weapons. Who knows? Someone can be first discoverer of something looking epicly. I’d try if I had more gold…

Here are still many unknown recipes. Or, if they were discovered, nobody has let us know… so:

-Eldritch Scroll, 50 Mystic coins, 250 vials of powerful blood, 250 Vicious Claws.

-Eldritch Scroll, 30 Mystic coins, 250 pearls, 20 opal orbs

-Eldritch Scroll, 50 Mystic coins, 50 coral orbs, 50 Orichalcum Ingots

-Eldritch Scroll, 70 Mystic coins, 250 globs of ectoplasm, 10 Orichalcum Ingots.

-Eldritch Scroll, 10 Mystic coins, 10 Steel Ingots, 10 Seasoned Wood Planks.

-Eldritch Scroll, 20 mystic coins, 250 amber pebbles, 100 Powerful Venom Sacs

Here’s also known recipe for the Crystalline Blade (60 crystal, 100 c.dust).

And possible weapons from the Mystic Forge:
I was having fun with checking weapon IDs in game…and I found that here are spectral weapons, just in 100% similar to guardian’s summoned weapons! Here were spectral greatsword, shield and bow. No idea how to obtain them. And second nice item: [&AgFReQAA] very nice scepter…I want that!

Post here your researches!

I think that GW2 is great game. I am lvl 80 and here are still many things to do. But… in my opinion, that game came a bit too early and it:
1) Has a lot of bugs.
2) Missed some things (important things).

I know that GW2 has only 3 weeks, but here are still bugged skill points, especially in Orr. Well, they were fixed for ONE day. After new update, it bugged again… Here’s list of most important things, that in my opinion, SHOULD be added (devs were saying about some of them and they haven’t added it to the game!!!):

1. Most imporant: bugged skill points: Bayt Falahin, catacombs and some other… And bugged events: Lyssa’s event, where you have to defend 2 teams of canon repairers, but nothing happens. They are too lazy to repair that canon, and whole event is bugged because of that

2. Bugged personal story: I’ve noticed that Fort Trinity is most bugged. Here exists bug with endless Knight respawn (I reported that bug, of course) and neutral Risen, who attack you when you attack them.

3. Dungeons: farm farm farm… ANet wants us to farm dungeons, because we need 1200 for whole set, and we get around 30 tokens per dungeon… then ANet nerfs CoF farm, so we can’t farm it anymore… Instead, as someone stated on that forums (not my idea), change every dungeon’s difficulty to EXTREME (at the moment some bosses are really easy), and dungeon reward to 1 token, exchangable for 1 piece of armor or weapon. Farming one dungeon around 40 times for ONE armor set is… boooring. And changing dungeon difficulty WON’T ALLOW tokens farming! Here’s another VERY, VERY important thing: LFG tool. I know it might be problem with looking for any group on less populated worlds, but on high populated servers that problem exists too. Why? Because some dungeons are more farmed that another, and you need more time to find a group for the dungeon you want to do. LFG tool would work the best, if it would find people from different home worlds.

4. sPvP: 4 maps, including that “Raid on the Capricorn” (who doesn’t hate that map?). It would be nice if here were at least 5 maps. And rewarding system is TOTAL CRAP, the worst think I’ve ever met! (sorry, had to say that, but I still like spvp). Why? Golden Rule of sPvP: cap as many points as possible! Never solo lord, because you might lose A LOT OF GLORY! What do I mean? Every smart person in every team brings movement speed increases, teleports etc. just to cap as many points as possible! I am doing it too, of course. I am Blinking into the point, just before one of my mate fully caps it, because I lose glory. Suggestion: change glory rewarding. For each 100 points you have guaranteed (for example) 50 glory. And add to this: ally revives/trebuchet destroys/player kills etc. And maybe change capping system: the more people stay on the point, the faster it’s capped? (just idea)

5. sPvP 2#. Here are only:
-8vs8,
-5vs5 (tourneys).
I hope that ANet will add more pvp modes. Capture the Flag would be nice, too
And: missed spectator mode+ladder. It MUST be added, at least that 2nd thing.

6. Endgame. Let’s look at GW1. Here were endgame locations (DoA, UW, FoW, Urgoz…) where were dropping end-game items: minis, weapons… And here was endgame gear too! I think, that at least “endgame gear” should be added to the GW2. Something like Obsidian Armor (I know here’s cultural armor set, but it’s ugly And we need more endgame sets, not only one – cultural). At least one “elite location” would be nice to see in GW2. Maybe in the future..

But:
defeated=broken armor part. Not defeated=non broken armor part.

So, as we all know, dungeons are expensive… because bosses can 1 hit kill you and you have to go to waypoint, attack boss again, maybe got killed once more…over and over, and our repair bill raises. So here’s my idea:
Add durablity to every armor piece. Helmets would have 50 durablity, coats 100 etc. After we’re killed, we lose some durablity, and after it’s on 0/50 we lose it’s effectiveness. We can repair our armor piece anytime. The more it’s damaged, the more we pay for repair.

So well, whole mission was fine, until that “Clear the docks”, so here started few problems:
1)Risens were white or yellow on their name – so they weren’t aggressive, as soon as you attack them.
2)Endless risen knight respawn – it’s just before end. You kill 1, another one respawns and flys towards you, no matter where you hide (ah, and they killed my allies). So the only one thing I could do was to kill that big risen group, near that Endless Knight Respawn Spot. Here were around 10+ risens so I killed them by 2. And fighting Knights, additionally. After every non-knight Risen was killed, that mission ended.

Bugs to fix:
-neutral Risen,
-endless Knight spawn.

Ok, so I start:
Maybe that npc will be usable after incoming pvp updates? Well, so what would be differences between rank10 and rank11 vendors? Only someone from Anet can know that.

Maybe that npc exists for reason… I want to see that “improved glory system”.

So well, here in north of the heart of the Mists, on top of stairs, is Tengu guy, called “Rank 11 Glory Vendor (Not yet working)”. Yes, It’s full name. After I talked To him, he said that glory system will be improved. What can except from it? And woah, rank 11 vendor! I have r10…

Here exists exotic light armor, Seer’s set – how to obtain it?

So well, as I could not log in through forums, i had to login just by Account Management website and then clicked Forums button… here is what error appears when i tried to log in through forums:

Login Error: Portal returned error: 42: {"error":42,module,line,“text”:"ErrTimeout"} — /var/www/forum/gw2/en/shared/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/oauth2-0.8.0/lib/oauth2/client.rb:108:in `request’ — login_controller.rb 94 (fangamer:-1).

Well, so I’ve done Arah 2 days ago, story mode…and after that i was “WTF”. My question is: is it 100% INTENDED? Was ANet team too lazy? I couldn’t believe that even Effigy in CoF required more play than Zhaitan’s “press 2 100 times”. I thought that Zhaitan will fly away from that tower, where he was glued, and attack us. But no, he was here for whole fight. And after he fell down, I thought that it was just his surprise and he will attack us again, but no. It was too easy, to be true.

2 bugs:
1. After we “kill” Zhaitan, his respawned “dragon tentacles” are still on the ship, attacking that dancing party.
2. I’ve casted Chaos storm on those boxes…I was surprised, when wind has moved my chaos storm away!

1. Can we expect new maps, sooner or later? And I don’t mean maps from new expansion… We can remove Raid on the Capricorn and add new one

2. Point system is totally RUINED. Every sPvP match is zerging from one point to another, because you will end up with 50glory, while other people will gain 300 glory, because they just capped more. Instead, maybe could you change it to something like that:
*Team winning with 500 points gains (for example) 200 glory+glory from skirmishes/trebuchet destroys/reviving/repairing etc.
*Team losing with 100 points: 50 glory+glory from stomps/… . 200 points: 100 glory etc.

Urban dictionary? Oh, holy cow, then I must be careful, because what if my name will mean something inappropriate/nasty in the suahili, urdu or telugu languages?!

Well, so I named my first character as “Jack Swallows” as reference and parody of Jack Sparrow. But, after that BANWAVE I was scared about myself so I asked in support ticket if my name is somehow bad (just to avoid ban). So they answered me, that Jack Swallows is indeed “inappropriate”. Why so? Do they hate birds?

Look, what a cute birdie! So now I have to play as “Sir Jack Nolan”… why was that name, Jask Swallows… inappropriate?
