I believe a better way to acquire precursors needs to be implemented, one relying less on rng but to just straight up get one from achievement points feels too easy.

I would go for a massive scavenger hunt type thing where you had to gather a bunch of different resources throughout the game and maybe having one component needed to get your precursor in a non rng way would come from achievement points (perhaps you could get one of those components every 3000-4000 achievement points you got). Otherwise it would cheapen the whole process of getting a legendary if it was too easy to get the components.

I agree. Perhaps a method where you gather all sorts of components from around the world to sell which would get you this mystical object called gold which you can use to purchase this precursor. I think the price should be somewhere between 200-1000 of these magical golds. That sounds like a good system.

I don’t really agree with these post and i’ll explain why. While you want the scavenger hunt to go around and collect all these items, remember while this would be an account bound precursor item, you still have to gather all the gifts and materials to craft it, so you are suggesting to do twice the work?

Also if you got these components every 3-4k points, how many would you need total? basically enough to equal 15k points or higher which would make it no different?

They have to stay rare in game, just how the market works and revolves around these sought items, that’s why ANET has left it as is since launch, this seems to be a great way to get a FREE one, and it’s not easy when it takes you over ONE YEAR of dedicated playing to get it. It’s free, but also it’s not free… you invest lots of time to earn it, you can’t sell it and it would motivate players to do all achievements.

wrong Osi they are working hard with the precursers, and have been for a while now.
why do you think they keep adding chests that have a minimal but still a chance of a precurser? like the chests you get in WvW.
so yes we will probably see some changes around the precursers and hopefully for the better.

jees… getting a precurser now have nothing to do with skill or how long you have played its all about luck! just stupid RNG BS. geting precursers and making a legendary should not be based on RNG but on skill and time invested. give us something to do for an account bound precurser something difficult and epic. maybe after the peronal story is complete another one could begin. anything would be better then how it is right now.

ive been working on my legendary for a few months now. i cant say that ive been farming endlessly, but not far from it. and the only thing holding me back is the precurser.
and i have played GW2 for 1500+ hours. and obviosly completed the map.
i kinda feel like ive earned the right to complete my legendary by now.
but sadly i cant do it, because i wont spent 600g on a precurcer(might as well buy the complete legendary instead.

sorry for the messy writing. hopefully you will understand

I cannot take anyone in this thread seriously, why do you all want this so called “Clutter” Removed? It’s not distracting at all, the only way i can see it being distracting is if you all play on a 5 inch monitor.

Guild wars 2’s UI Is incredibly minimalistic, you’re all just being incredibly whiny, sorry to say, but the majority of you are acting like spoiled children. “THE PEAS ARE TOUCHING THE MASHED POTATO, OH MY GOD! MUUUUUUUUUUM!”

Who the kitten are you to tell anyone that they shouldn’t complain about GW2 cluttered UI?

I want the option to have a UI as cluttered free as Skyrim’ UI!

Ctrl-Shift+H And there you have a skyrim UI

Your description is too short and vague for such a big change. Have you thought this through? As it is it’s like “hey I had this idea, but you’ll need to figure out everything and make it work”.

well.. isnt that what we pay for?

Nope. If you come up with something this big, you really should make sure it can actually work in the big picture. Why would Arena.net spend time on every idea that involves a complete redesign of the game, when it might not even work? They can instead do what they were doing fine all along.

Maybe because its their job… its not our job to give them content to put in the game! we make suggestions and they make something out of it. Thats how it works.

well you are awefully whiny.

I agree with all of this!

Fishbait.6723:

After helping guild with a mission, someone in zone said destroyer was up, so I pottered over.

Just check all of that crap on the right….

Click a shield, half a dozen more underneath (fix, put them on a timer)
Boss hp (fix, if we`ve got it targeted, we don`t need it on right showing the exact same hp)
Monthly (fix, just give us an option, not like the reward is of any use for most folk. I`ve hundreds of potions in bank I don`t need.)
Sky pirates (fix, option to turn off, not done any of it, no intention of doing any).

really? just click away the finished event and its all good……………………
stop trying to make this into a big problem.

well said… agreed!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! no god forsaken skritts!! i dont want kittened rats running around and mess up this fine game!

(btw im almost 100% that the next race will be Tengu. for alot of reasons.)

you mean worked for months to get right?

1. open world duels.
2. some sort of long and epic quest for a precurser (very difficult ofc)
3. better guild UI.

i have alot more but since this is top three ill stop here

4. “Add a pool of skills to each weapon to let players choose any five skills for each weapon from their specific pool. That adds both more variety and more skill choices.”

Edit: i wont stop here

DreamOfACure.4382:

Here’s a fun idea: Play without your UI.

:D

We’ll call it… “GW2 – Expert mode”

Love it!

everyone gets slowed down when taking any sort of dmg no matter what it comes from.

Celestina.2894:

Stability

Don’t have easy access to stability? Have someone bring a shout guardian

It’s a group dungeon for a reason.

yeah and stability will protect you for how long?
a few seconds then its atleast 30 seconds of getting hooked and killed untill you can use stability again…

Dedlaw.9130:

Why not? You lose nothing by trying

you lose gold for repairing your gear

say what?! can i use a warbanner to heal keep lords?
if so, i honestly didnt know that.

the last boss.

do i even have to say more?!

Alice.8317:

The tickets are supposed to be rare, i gives a feel of achievement when getting one. I haven’t got one yet myself but i don’t think they should sell them on the TP, people were complaining about that last time. The drop rate is fine, just because you haven’t got one doesn’t mean it isn’t fair. There is still a few weeks ’til the event ends there is plenty of time to get one.

thats just wrong and twisted in so many ways…

Astral Projections.7320:

stale.9785:

Dude, open world duels will:

-break events when aggro happens on duelists (or duelists aggro stuff)
-clog waypoints
-introduce griefing whiners (the previous thread before the merge was full of people who admitted they wanted it purely to troll new people.)
-bring the whiney “duel me bruh” freaks that that other game is overrun with.

none of these are good things.

I’m afraid I don’t understand a couple of your points.

One, how would dueling break events? If people are dueling and not doing the event then scaling doesn’t apply to them, no more than someone af’k in an event area. The event only sees people who are doing the event. And if they get aggro from event mobs, then they will have to stop dueling to deal with it. At that point they are doing the event.

The other was, clog waypoints. How would they clog waypoints? You can still travel even if people are standing on a waypoint. And what difference does it make if people duel on top of a waypoint or somewhere else?

well said.

for gods sake it is the PvE design! it has almost nothing to do with the warrior class or zerker gear. the only reason this is even mentioned here on the forums is because of the “LF3 full zerk warriors for farmruns (gearcheck)” so people feel left out. and its the dungeon and PvE design that cant handle high dps. its not the dps that is too high. i got myself a zerk gear for this reason. so i could join in on some cof path1 runs. i dont like it but its not my fault for playing a warrior with zerk gear. so why have me and all the others punished? improve the mobs AI and improve the dungeon and PvE design and it will be all good.

okey. first of all kRiza krimos.1637 i am not used to getting anything in game or in life.
so stop acting like a 10 year old spoiled crybaby.
And Klonex.4562 oh no! Im so so so so so sorry that english isnt my first language and that i missed an “O” in “Too” and this thread is not about making fun of me either and ive opened over a 1000 coffers since you wanted to know. and i run with 101% MF when im farming. thats without any buffs. go bother someone else please

its not the classes that is the problem its the mobs AI that cant do anything and the mobs attacks thats just made in the wrong way.

Its you and me against the world im afraid.

how can this thread still be ignored by Anet.
its HUGE with almost 600 comments and still no awnser.

im starting to feel that we will never have the joy of fighting epic duels in the world of Tyria. this makes me sad…

well said! i hope everyone agree with you

faith in humanity lost! JustTrogdor.7892 i get what you’re saying and will honestly stop farming coffers in the low lvl areas. hopefully more people can pull their head out of their as*

Sentinel VX.1392:

Try just to farm the normal dragon coffer, they drop quite often or just buy them off tp which is cheaper than the rich version one. EVERY mobs drop them.

I got like ~53 crates in one hour farming and got 2 tickets from it.

I farmed them since the first day and i opened well over 1000 coffers…. NOTHING! SEVERAL HOURS WASTED!

“this game is not about farming or grinding” yeah right! i call fat BS on that one!

ive opened 1000+ coffers and all i got of value was 4 minis.

(really want the jade shield)

this is a very good idea! and i really hope it get put into the game. and fast.

the stalwart shoulders arent in pve?

only thing needed to solve this is: MAKE THE DRAGONS INTO A LIVING MOB! right now its just an object with alot of hp.. if you make it so its a living creature with desent AI then it will move around and actually target players and not the ground infront of it.
and make the attacks vary a bit and dont put in onehit attacks. make it so it have many different attacks some weak and some powerful(not onehit).

Kaaboose.3897:

The problem is not that Warriors bring too much damage, but that damage is the be all and end all in GW2 PvE. The Trinity needs to be fixed, not the warriors.

Thank you! it should be about how you play not what you play.. am i right?

and nerfing warriors even more would be a terrible idea.

Hamfast.8719:

ALSO (along the same lines) let us please toggle off Commander icons, especially in PvE. Perhaps a reminder when you go to WvW “would you like to display commander icons?” But in PvE they just get in the way.

Commanders are very much needed for some PvE content like guild missions and god temples and so on.

the shattered wing have REALLY bad and twitchy animation

JubeiTM.5763:

Daecollo.9578:

What are thieves going to get for compensation to this nerf?

Thief:
1) Pepperspray: Makes pets unable to attack, run away in fear for 20 seconds. If its cured they immediately are stunned for 10 seconds.
2) Shadow Shield: Makes the Thief to be immune to all guardian attacks/abilities for 10 seconds.
3) Causes the thief to be able to booby trap turrets and gadgets so they explode on the engineer, knocking him back and causing massive damage, this also strips stability.

You are right, thief is the worst class in game! They must be improved! Thief also should get perma cloak and for the love of god tipple the damage. Thief’s should also use heavy armor because a Ninja is strong and all. Swiftness should be special on thief , running 5 times faster. Maybe flying would be nice! And automatically recycle the attacker’s items and deposit them to my collectibles and steal the legendary equipments and make them unbound so I can sell them on trading post.

i think i love you Jubei xD

I play thief myself and i really have to say the stealth needs alot of fixin tweaking nerfing and balancing.

and the “Cloak And Dagger” needs a “detected” condition after every use not only if you attack out of stealth. HUGE problem!
so before you start hating me now, nerfing will also bring balancing to the thief class. it wont get weaker it will just be nerfed then balanced along with it.

and most of it wont even happen….

i agree with you Kaaboose

okey Stale and Sorudo can you tell us all why you go so far to not have duels in the game?
it wont effect you if me or anyone else fight a duel anywhere….

and this “sorudo.9054:
i already designed a system for duels and against duel griefing, arena teleporting.
you ask someone to duel when they have it switched on, the other one agrees and they are teleported in to an arena.
when they are done they are teleported at the exact place they were, just like when you go to the HoM.
-it removes spammers
-it makes duels fair
-duels don’t ruin PvE
oh and one more thing, the part where duels are on, that’s switched off on default to stop the newbie griefers.”
this is just stupid. i cant believe you guys… cant you see most people want OPEN WORLD DUELS! so just stop going on about the god kitten arenas! thats a kittenty idea.

Ive been opening coffers just like everyone else.. and im talking ALOT of coffers!
in hopes of getting a ticket so i can get the Jade shield for my Warrior.
ive spent atleast 5 hours a day farming for coffers. and not getting rewarded for it.
all i have gotten is TONS of candy some food and 2 stinking minis that i dont even care about.

If its going to be this hard to get a ticket it should be sellable since MANY people like me dont get any tickets but really want one or 2 but cant get them…

stop the RNG BS and make the skin tickets easier to get so that people can get the skins they want.

to be honest, no one cares if another player looks the same as you….

okey ive been following this for a long time now. and a funny fact is that! the players saying no to this on the tread isnt that many. its the same players that keep on posting that they dont want duels in the game! its between 5 and 10 players saying no over and over again…. and, its about 100 saying yes. I can even name the guys that keep saying no but i wont becouse if i do this comment might be removed. maybe, i dont know. but! why havent we heard anything official about this??? its kind of a big deal in an MMO to have duels. I want duels my guild want duels most of the people i chat with in Lions Arch want duels. i can honestly say i have never seen anyone in game saying “duels would ruin this game” or something like it. and alot of times when i go to a well populated place there are people casting spells at each other, like a duel! but thats all we can do now just run and pretend that we are having a duel… im getting out of control here so im ending this post! PLEASE GIVE US AN AWNSER ABOUT THIS BECOUSE PEOPLE IS STARTING TO FEEL IGNORED!

great idea! i agree on this one.

Yocairo.4257:

What’s up with the uneducated arguments?
Duels are simply part of the larger mmo market these days, wow did not invent this, it’s nothing new.
People simply want to be able to /duel because going to an arena and the like is simply too much effort. You quickly need to test if something or spec is working properly, sure duel your mate.

For the harassment argument I can’t say much but sigh..
It’s not hard to build a decline all duel option. For people whining for 1v1s there is already an ignore button in game, try it out!

The fact duels aren’t already implemented is quite shocking really.

agreed! now we wait for some genius to come say “you can duel in sPvP”……

Raestloz.7134:

I think

It’s better to make zergs clearly visible on the map at all times, not just during a fight

tweak the numbers: range, number of people considered a zerg, that kind of thing

This will force the zerg to split in order to stay hidden

good idea! if you mean that if it is lets say 10 players running together nothing happens and if like 25 player do it some kind of marker will appear on the map?

YES!!! we have the right to duel wherever and whenever we want! and dont tell me otherwise! since costume brawls can take place anywhere and i dont like them. but i have never been crying about it before! not untill now when people say that we duels fans should only be able to duel in arenas.. that just unfair! i want to be able to fight a duel with my mates when i feel like it and on any location. so dont come here with you’re “duels are fine as long as its in an arena” crap! have some sympathy! if people can read this and understand my enraged and crazy english, then i think most peaple would agree with me, (and dont come at me about my spelling since english is not my first language) thank you for listening and have a nice day. (had to edit some of it since a hardcore duel hater reported my comment and had it removed)

Wow. So anyone who disagrees with you is a kitten? You are seriously comparing people who disagree with your viewpoint with a bunch of bloodthirsty, jackbooted, racist mass-murderers? Wow. Just wow.

Consider yourself reported.

yeah i got reported but ill take the blow from it. and i will stand by my words even if you dont like it.

Why do mods only reply to silly posts?

Because this has been replied to number and number of times already, they are working on adding such a feature so no need to make another topic about it.

how do you know?

I have to say i agree with DanyK to a 100% and the people that dont are surely playing on the dominating servers. i must say that i got VERY sad when i join WvW for the first time becous of the zergs. I didnt find it fun at all to be honest. when i go to war and serv my server i dont want to stand still with 20-30 more players and spam out spells! i want to fight not stack! so i think this is something this game really needs. good thread DanyK! thank you.

Sedoks.3576:
