Guild Wars 2

Zoid.2568:

Have we heard anything from ArenaNet on this yet? this has been on the forums for a while now..

Actually no response yet , still hoping with the next close patches to get some light on the subject.. I mean we are all waiting for our announced cosmetic updates.

Yes this is true on both accounts also a feature like this would really come in handy , I dont understand why so much hate on these forums.

because you likely have no standards and accept any trash that passes by. otherwise you would be able to perceive the egregious marketing that went on before gw2. these 100 actually have decent standards.

So having standards these days means to cry and moan for everything that isn’t free or served on a silver platter , geez that’s some huge news you changed everyone’s life in here. /sarcasm 1/10 for the attempt.

Can we get a fix please ? This started last night and it’s still here. Cant browse the forums at all at times..

S/D counters pretty much everything in the game if played right , there is a a reason why Jumper promoted the new build. D/D needs some serious help in PvP though it’s awfull and squishy

Try Orr and Frostgorge champ farm , follow the train I know people who made over 100g in day there. Doing it 24/7 for a while will prolly help you with your goals.

Im curious about this aswell since the Transmutation Splitter states that “Will return the original appearance item and stats item from an existing transmuted item. All items will remain soulbound”.

Can anyone shed some light on this please ?

Thief is still king in solo roaming , problem nowdays is everyone running perma stealth builds to compete with the regen warrior trolls and perplexity engineers. I dont see how elementalist solo could do anything since the borderland people will chase you till you log off.

Why is this not adressed yet ? Every engi runs this build in WvW with a regen warrior buddy trolling towers and small grps , it’s pretty sad actually. No wonder these runes didnt make it to PvP they are broken.

THey need serious tweaking , make it happen guys.

Thief is severly underpowered in PvP , WvW – PvE aside is a different story.
But as far as spvp goes.. thiefs are nonexistent atm. We need some buffs

Incinerator could also use an a fiery aura much like the predator or similar the rest of the legendaries aswell. They could be alot more “legendary”.

Buttercup.5871:

I would pay for this. I love the convenience of this area. And the fact that I’m there with 1 click on the pass.

It’s one of the best convenience items I’ve seen in the game. And the area is pretty, too.
Pwetty please? Introduce a permanent pass?

+1 It should have been a permanent addition , I regret not stocking up on tickets.. now I cannot access it anymore.. crafting wise it’s the best area in the game.. Bring it back !

Keighan.8097:

You guys sure have a strong determination to get all that done. I got the game 3 days ago leveled a necromancer to 21 and I’m already bored…. this game is a grind house …

You played the game for 3 days and it’s a grind house ? people leveled chars to 80 in 2 hours through crafting , i did it on 3 chars. Yes it’s an insane grind … what will we do ?

Have No Faith In Me.1840:

Taking a blowtorch to your enemies…. yeah sure that’s not totally hardcore. /sarcasm

If you wanted twilight, why didn’t you make that instead? Leave incinerator as is.

I don’t understand why people make legendarys they don’t like? I made bolt, and I’ve almost finished howler. If I got ‘the legend’ to drop I’d sure as pie sell it like hotcakes because I think bifrost is stupid.

Make legendarys that appeal to you.

Incinerator looks awesome whoever owns it knows this , it has unique melee impact finisher on deadbodies leaving them on fire + the footsteps and such , but that’s not even the point. Point is they we’re all supposed to get cosmetic updates this patch as you can read above someone posted the patch notes.

So the only way for us to get heard is to post on the forums that’s basically it.

Lurch.9517:

balance does not exist, spvp only barely exists, WvW will shortly not exist… Only PVE exists in this game and anyone who says different is desperately clinging to a false hope.

You must be playing another game surely not GW2 , WvW is the most played in this game atm hence the 1-2 hour ques at night , sPvP still holds the best times for game time since you can hop in at 5 am in the morning or 12 pm at night and find games/players.

A reality check is in order

As for the spvp balance if I remember corectly the last patches did pretty good job of splitting pve from pvp skills with different cooldowns and such. Where do people get that there is only PvE left ?

@Orpheal actually The Dreamer got a nice sweet update and has some of the best footfall ingame.
Incinerator needs the update just hoping it’s this month..

This issue needs to be adressed , it’s gonna be impossible to rack up 1m karma for a legendary now.

Tiger.7506:

The people are just being dramatic.

many exaggerations .

Unfortunately yes , even if it was already stated in the last interview and the other 10 before that this was/is supposed to be the last stat tier. People wont believe it smart tip would be to steer clear from the forums to maintain brain health.

This also happened to Incinerator , no updates at all indicated by the patch. Another wait and see.. it’s been 2 days already..

Anet already stated that the “precursor scavenger hunt” it’s not gonna be crafting related in latest pax interview. And yes it will very expensive and hard to grind it’s just gonna be an alternative to buying it from the TP that’s all.

Legendaries need to stay unique.

To stay unique, they first need to become unique…

Anything that requires 2k+ gold or 1000 usd makes you pretty unique in a game like this Hope this helps

There we’re quite a few more legendaries mentioned along Incinerator to be updated , bigger footfalls and such from the patch notes. Still no answer on this :/

Isabella.5796:

If it states in the patch notes that they were meant to be changed and they weren’t then they better look into it

Yes it was mentioned in the live stream , on dulfy’s website and in the patch notes yet still no answer. Im guessing worst case scenario they will hotfix it next patch.. Very dissapointing though.

This alone makes me not play SAB anymore , why did they remove this ? It was the only good alternative to gather obsidian shards as the Temple Events are bugged to infinity and beyond.

Really dissapointing patch I was 3/4 just one daily left , im really glad i’ve put in the effort to finish it just we get a reset. This bug and the legendary footfall updates which still didnt make it into the game makes for one very sad patch.

Monstrowhale.9156:

Posted in the Bifrost thread, but since I was commenting re my Incinerator, will repost here to bring dev attention:

I’ve been eagerly awaiting an aesthetic bump for my Incinerator too. But I don’t really see any improvement.

There is still no fiery aura glow or anything like that (like the Hunter, for example) – and while this was not part of the update announcement, even the footfalls are not any better.

If anything, they seem smaller and fade within half a second now. That may be just my perception as I am staring at them too hard, but they are tiny and fade almost instantly :/

Exactly i’ve been running with my Incinerator around and if all the footsteps feel even worse then before instead of being updated like they said in the patch notes ? come on guys give us a response.

The stat difference make the new ascended weapons not worth crafting to be perfectly honest. I tried comparing pistol – pistol and the + you get on a berserker’s piece is like :
- + 4 power ;
- + 3 precision ;
- no difference in crit percentage between them ;
- + an infusion slot ;
Only thing that added more to the ascended is the increased dmg by very little.

All in all very dissapointed and expected atleast some buffed stats making these weapons worth it. Atm it doesnt.

You can get this percentage up with bloodlust stacks , food buffs I really dont get the point of these ascended its a huge grind and not worth it for the stats overall. WvW dont sweat it the dmg will be the same.

Yes im starting to feel like this aswell , once month was alright but now it’s just too much and you really cant enjoy the game without rushing the new content…

There we’re alot of topics like this last night and yes Incinerator didnt get any footfall changes. What happened to making them bigger ? Really dissapointing.

Isabella.5796:

Incinerator and Bolt’s footfalls look exactly the same too, even know they said they’re “bigger”

Yea that’s what I heard aswell but all I can say Incinerator footfall is the same.. :/

Wow guys , tomorrow was my 4/4 and monthly was done , from Jumping Puzzles to Mystic salvage kit usages ? and a few of them reset ? What gives , great patch guys !!!

This problem still persists , re-logging does nothing , can we get a hotfix please ? We cannot use the trading post at all…

Been playing this game for a year , and today I started getting this error message when trying to sell items on the Black Trading Post.
We need a fix.. asap

EU : Seafarer’s Rest ;

Phoenixfudge.5290:

Seriously, it’s simply bad design to reward failure. Why bother completing an invasion when you can just fail and farm champions all day?

sigh this game really is made for casuals.

Lol this post.. pretty much nailed it No matter how you put it and how easy it will be this community will always cry about being too hard.

These items we’re announced atleast 7 months ago, what do people expect ?

Most of the people play for character progression , some need something to work for .. People complain about 2 weeks a weapon ? It should have been 1 month per item.

I know folks who sit on 300 laurels and 300 ascended rings in their banks. Im glad we are not reduced to doing daily for the rest of the year thank you very much.

I started getting disconnects since the new patch , otherwise i had them one a month tops , now its atleast 2 dcs a day. Hope we get a fix on this

style.6173:

Lol @ OP: Another “thief” asking for a nerf. No one asks for a thief on their own class though. Nice try.

Yea it’s quite funny and even more funny that he got upvoted in a matter of minutes by ofc the no longer playing active thief forum trolls sorry for the OT.

On a closing note newsflash : stealth was already nerfed and got reverted back so OP get your facts right next time.

Direwind.8409:

its totally insane how a class with stealth can just pop it and even when hit directly remain in stealth, classes like thief just stealth spam using cloak and dagger and reset a fight at will, it takes no great feat of skill to just spam stealth nonstop stabing a player who has no clue where you are.

yes I have an 80 thief.

Stealth should not remove target lock, you should regain lock once they appear.
stealth should not be stackable.
stealth should be removed when they attack and are blocked.
any and all action from stealth should remove stealth.
if you take a direct hit (not aoe) you should have stealth removed.

Right a thief complaining about the thief class and want’s it nerfed. Geez man we never heard that one before.

Thief is balanced atm , stealth is fine since you can knockback/knockdown/stun and kill a thief in stealth. I got hit by skullcrack and got a stun for 5 seconds yesterday in shadow refuge.

No doubt Twilight and Surinse and it’s kind of sad that these beautiful swords are wielded by so many yesterday in LA there was a showcase of 5 twilight next to each other.. Still want it now guys ?

Josh Foreman.6542:

The Tribulation Mode skins are color-shifted variants of the regular set. Each World has a color. Blue is the general SAB color (so not gained through Tribulation Mode), Green is World 1, Yellow World 2, Red World 3 and Purple World 4. This follows the Bauble value color scale. But don’t get your hopes up for getting the Tribulation color variants. Tribulation Mode is ridiculously difficult and time consuming. I don’t expect to see many green or yellow super skins out there. TM is there for a very small group of people who are into that sort of thing.

They said the same thing about Liadri but now everyone and their grandma has a Liadri mini.

On what planet ? It’s still and will prolly remain for a while the hardest 1v1 content in the game and maybe 15% of the playerbase have actually got that achiv.

Cant wait for SAB though

This bug still happens , although not everywhere from my experience . But everyone in the major city has this drawn weapon effect. Hope we get a fix soon looks weird.

For the ammount of grind it takes to get one , deffo a good idea or atleast something similar to set you apart from the common folk

I keep seeing this too , first I thought its a new command implementation and it is player controlled. But everyone has their weapon unsheat so this is a big bug imho. Hope we get a fix

Please guys let us know if anything opens on EU region ! we rly need one :/

This is a serious issue that needs to be looked at , it’s a pain to find an OPEN uncontested temple of balthazar currently .

There is a 75 page thread about this event where people post when it opens somewhere so we can hop in and guest for 5 min and get our obsidian shards..

I hope we get a fix soon.

Vik Flagge.8324:

In the current patch notes it says they will be bringing back exclusive items from past events in the gem store starting the 30th I think it said. Im assuming this means things like fused weapon skins, and halloween weapons like the greatsaw and the ghastly shield. This is a really horrible idea and was one of the last straws for me. One of the things thats makes those kind of items cool is you have to be around when they dropped. It’s really sad that ANET has to continue to do things to get people to buy gems, but this is going too far in my opinion.

Of course there are some things that I missed out on and would love to have another chance to get, but not like this. It’s just not right and it’s in very bad taste.

Is this post for real ? Have you been around the last 6 months , when everyone was crying and spending hundreds of bucks and not getting anything in return ? Because of luck chances ?

This is probably the best patch yet , everyone has a last chance on getting some of the RNG lost items , the other half makes a big profit through TP for saving the skins for so long in their bank.

This self-entitlement needs to stop…

Yes Scarlet is awesome , she being a Sylvari is the icing on the cake

jucca.8219:

Been trying to get these obsidian shards for 5 days now. All balthazars closed in EU whenever I log in. Saw open twiced in US side but if I wanted to go I have to pay 1000 gems for transfer.

My server doesn’t have ppl to open it because everybody’s farming champs or whatnots. Is it possible maybe to put shards behind other karma merchant so that I don’t have to buy them with laurels or fractal pieces.

Im in the same boat , this is the worst thing I encountered in the game so far and it’s making it impossible for me to get my legendary. This thread needs to be moved on general or somewhere to get the proper attention and fix this. It’s not worth playing like this.

It’s been a week and it didnt open on EU servers. What is there more to say ?

tolunart.2095:

offence.4726:

Yes this is great , still 150g for a Fused Greatsword skin is too much imho.

Because there is only one left in the game and no one will ever come along and undercut him, right?

They said old items would be coming back for a limited time… that could include the possibility of a new supply of tickets. Farm tickets, sell skins, make a lot of gold… thousands of other people doing the same thing, the first GS on the TP is 150g, a week from now the cheapest is 20g.

This literally happened today. Don’t get all bent out of shape over it until you know what’s going on.

This is very true but , I really hope we get another “stab” at these items because last limited event I opened over 250 boxes and no fused ticket and now the items are in short supply going up to 220g for 1 dagger skin.. We shall see if it’s time to rage once again or not..

Yes this is great , still 150g for a Fused Greatsword skin is too much imho.

Anywhere open today ? dont mind guesting but i got 700k karma that i gotta spend on shards … :/ , EU please
