Guild Wars 2

the boxes have never been sellable, the weapon skins from the boxes are though iirc

it is in the tab labelled recipes (5th tab). the recipe is for Exemplar’s Edge

they go straight into the wallet. to check how many you have open your inventory and click on the coin icon at the bottom left. or just look beside your gold amount when in Verdant Brink.

I agree with what Illconceived Was Na said, but wanted to add:

I would like, if they are asking for community input, for them to let people know it’s actually happening.

I mean, not everyone who plays visits the forums or reddit. would be nice if there was a notice about it in the game or something. maybe in the yellow panel they use to announce pvp stuff, or something similar.

if you do the easy dailies in the LS maps (unbound magic gathering, aerial attack, berries, peach, etc) you can get a nice chunk of karma a day.

as for what else to do. Teq is a good one for karma, and probably Silverwastes events, rather than Bitterfrost

Donari.5237:

What time zone for that “3-6 ish?” NA can cover about 6 hours of difference if you include Hawaii

right, sorry. that’s MDT, which is UTC-6

pepper.6179:

mind if i ask the time you did it and if you are in NA?

yep I’m in NA. the last tier 4 I played in was in the morning, but most that hit tier 4 that I’ve seen seem to be in the afternoons around 3-6 ish.

yes, people still do tier 4 nights. I’ve participated in a few very recently. your best bet is to check in LFG for groups who are organizing the map, very often those reach tier 4.

story step 10 maybe? the green star icon on the requirements suggest it is story related either way.

to be honest, even though I have played season 1, saw her introduction and have been stuck with her since, I still feel absolutely no attachment to Taimi. I find her to be an annoyance, I did when she was shoved into the group for no other reason than ‘because Scarlet’, and I still do.

I feel more attached to Phlunt, and would take him any day over Taimi. at least his ‘I know things’ moments would be slightly more believable.

new reward system in wvw happened that wasn’t (and shouldn’t be) copied to eotm, so eotm became a waste of time for most (I guess)

no, once you hit 80 it no longer gives you xp, so does not help with mastery xp

someone from Anvil Rock would never be able to play with someone from Gandara, not even with guesting. playing together is region locked, which is why LFG is how it is (only listing groups from the region you are in so you can play together).

much more than LFG would have to be changed to make this possible

you didn’t specify which story, so I covered them all.

personal story = are completed the first time (they are only completion achievements).
Living World Season 2 = have to be completed once, and repeated to do achievements.
Heart of Thorns = can be completed first time through (though some you need to repeat to get them all).
Living World Season 3 = can be completed first time through.

I wonder how the mechanics would work for Mounts? Right now Gliding is just a re-skin of Falling ; meaning they just changed falling speed and put a glider over it. So how would mounts really work? Would they have strafe and stuff or do they turn and move like mounts in other games?

I predict mounts would be a re-skin of running.

you could make a new f2p account, which will be empty of characters and record it that way.

There is just not a single argument against that I will accept.

fixed that for you.

there have been plenty of arguments for and against listed in this very thread. some people’s opinions are different to yours, but their opinions are just as valid.

And how a mount affect your gameplay if someone else is using it ? It is very easy, dont use it ? For the openworld part there is no argument against. Gw2`s motto is to pick the way you like, why should be with a simple mount a different story.

I dont get the logic against it………

it doesn’t affect me in any way. you can do what you like.

however, it is disingenuous to say that valid arguments haven’t been made.

personally, I don’t like the idea of mounts (for my own reasons that aren’t listed here by me, and I won’t go in to), but even I will admit that there have been valid arguments for mounts being added.

Pretty sure it’s to do with in-game adverts that happened during PvP esl tournaments, HoT beta events and the like. Many complained about the unremovable ads for it in the top right, near event notifications/story steps, and loading screens.

Not those because I just enabled it and I still get the corner advertisement about the upcoming monthly tournament.

which is a big disappointment to me. I preferred when they didn’t have the orange pvp spam messages in the corner, and switched to putting the message on loading screens. I didn’t mind it on loading screens. unfortunately those, and those tips that used to be there too, have been removed. so sad.

the option only seems to remove the yellow in game messages, like those in wvw and silverwastes.

before sinister, and the HoT stats, I used rampager gear (prec, condi, power), it’s not too bad. you can pick up an exotic set for karma at the balthazar temple in straits if you want to give it a try.

if you don’t see the benefit of the years you owned the game for and all the living world content that was available for free upon logging in then as well, then I’m not sure what to tell you.

someone purchasing now from f2p still has to buy the living world season 2 (1280 gems) as well as any season 3 episodes they weren’t around for, and completely missed out on season 1 and other one time events. pretty sure that negates any ‘saving’ they are supposed to be making over people who’ve played since the start.

if you are below level 30, you will not get the mail until then. it has been like that for a while and only happens if you do the story with someone else.

could you imagine the abuse this could bring?

imagine someone has a character named Jack, and someone else decides they don’t like the person behind Jack, so they make a character of the same name and then proceeds to be an absolute kitten to everyone, while pretending to be the original Jack. a lot of people then turn on the original Jack for being like that.

zealex.9410:

i dont believe its anet’s fault if pll cant read “100cm Tittle food pots x classes”.

“100 centimetre tiny food pots multiplied by classes”

totally baffles me why some people can’t read that too /s

storage expander gives you 250 more storage in your materials tab. has this not happened?

if it hasn’t, I’d suggest contacting support directly by creating a ticket

you could try playing the game and getting the recipe books yourself….

or you could always craft a random ascended set, buy the gossamer insignia recipe for 32s and 50 crystalline ore and change the stats to commanders in the forge. (1 Anthology of Heroes, 1 Commander’s Intricate Gossamer Insignia, 5 Glob of Ectoplasm, Ascended armor piece)

superspeed only gives 100% speed buff while in combat (the tooltip doesn’t state this, but it has always been the case). pretty sure out of combat it only gives 33%

the bottom part shown in that map is the personal story instance that takes place in Arah (where the mouth spawns after the towers), like Avador said.

edit: saying that, there are loads of ground areas in that instance that are flown over, and never seen, or even unclovered on the map in-game. would be awesome if they did something with that.

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

The OP’s best bet is to check out the English-language wiki’s update page (always linked from the wiki’s home page) — that will show the approximate size for the English client, assuming you had all previous updates

hmmm, I’m not seeing this information on the wiki page you mentioned, which makes me even more curious about it because I don’t remember seeing it any other time either.

am I looking at the right page? https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_updates

really like the improvements. things are easier to find, and the previews are right there. I like how everything in a package is shown very clearly. great job to everyone who worked on it.

only thing I’d like to see added is a gathering tool preview. with all the effects these things bring, I’d like to know what they look like before I buy them, without having to go searching on youtube.

if you see a bug listed somewhere from 4 years ago, and no one else mentioning it in between, why do you assume it has been in the game that long?

the reality is I have never seen the event bug like that and I’ve been playing since just after the game released. I’ve played the temple events many times. this means it has been fixed before, and will again, now that it has been reported.

TheNecrosanct.4028:

Explain to me the logic of putting an added PvE effect to something’s solely meant for WvW. It’s not as if that happened by accident.

I think it was added to PvE originally because Anet thought that everyone would play a bit of everything. you play some WvW, you help your server, you reap the benefits in PvE. that wasn’t what happened though.

it should have been removed from PvE a long time ago when it was realised that people don’t play a bit of everything.

for me, it is still working

I’ve got over 100 of them, and hardly use them. I wish I could give them away, honestly.

still, would be good for those who do use them to have them in the gem store. I don’t really understand why they weren’t put there when they first got put in the game.

if he’s playing the free version, he doesn’t need to download anything. it’s already in the data files, no matter what version you are playing.

putting the key on his game will unlock features, no additional download needed.

Snarl Backdraft and Galina Edgecrusher. I always remember these two. would be great to see them again

Whoopmeister.7493:

sunken rations ? where do you get them from , i have done this map 3 times before on other chars and never needed sunken rations lol

the hero point in the shipyard gives you an item called sunken rations, which you have to double click to get the point

have you checked your bag for the sunken rations?

But having a “186” at your name tag does make a difference in how others treat you

I have never had anyone treat me differently because of my mastery level (which isn’t 186 and never will be because I have absolutely no interest in the raid instances), compared to people of higher mastery rank. I’ve never seen it happen to others either. maybe I’m just lucky.

that’s like saying people treat you differently because you have legendary rank in pvp by your name (or whatever it is). or they treat you differently because you have a world completion star.

really, I don’t think many people pay attention to it. I know I don’t.

don’t like the sounds of #2 at all. shields had guiges (a long strap made of leather or rope) to stow it and free up the hands. not all shields were carried constantly on the arm, even in battle.

saying that, I would like a way to show backpieces instead of a shield when it gets stowed, and still have what we have now too. so, your #1 would be my preference.

yes

SGMRock.3718:

Lag is back again 3 day in a row…. spurts of packet loss and high pings as soon as my route hits NCSoft network in Dallas.

same here. been fine all day, then suddenly this.

packet loss happens only on ncsoft network (looked with pingplotter as soon as it started). not only that, but can’t log in to forums while it happens, and the api used by various sites becomes unresponsive too.

have you tried updating your graphics card drivers?

if you have, or you do and it doesn’t help, I’d suggest contacting support directly. they’ll be able to help you better.

pretty sure you just copy and paste the long link into the post (the one in the browser address bar, not the share box), and the forum picks it up automatically, but I could be wrong

Fragon.7043:

i’m sure if oakheart was leaked before release you’ll be the first one of them all complaining about it before even waiting properly to give it a shot by yourself.

I haven’t played with the oakheart, and have only heard about it. which is almost like hearing a leak about it without experiencing it. personally I think it sounds fun, just like a lot of other mechanics that have been brought into the game and I look forward to playing with it myself.

not sure why you’d think I’d complain about it just because I don’t like mounts.

if they’re only added to certain maps, I could live with that (and avoid those maps like the plague), however, if they were added to the core maps at a later date, like gliding was, I would leave and never look back.

I don’t have an idea myself, but I seriously wish your idea was a thing
