First of all: This isnt worth the effort, not really. Its only interesting if you try to get the titles and achievments or the skins from the LS parts which you missed. You can get several back pieces and golden weapon skins and a heart attack maybe.
I dont think that the loot is really convincing to organize on a scale like Jungle Wurm.
For gold you will get 10 Champbags —→ 12 silver and some green crap.
Seriously, did anyone managed to get silver or even gold rewards? I tried today on 10 different servers and the best attempt was that we missed silver with 5 min.
I miss the good old district system….

Results of my survey after 24hI didn’t expect any different results – this was not a fair survey – this is like asking the NRA if they like guns.
You loaded the survey one way and you are now going to say this proves that A.Net should remove the mega-servers. it proves nothing other than the people who frequent this forum don’t like it. People who like them usually don’t frequent a whine forum.
Ofc this only represent the people who are using the forum. I just wanted to see how many on the forums like/dislike the Megaservers since I got 50% positive answers and 50% negative answers if i ask this on mapchat.

Please feel free to take part on my survey to the Megaservers.
(Old thread has been closed by a Mod)
People who likes them dont post negative comments about it and thats maybe why it looks like a majority despise the Megaservers. But they do exist.
Shouldnt they disappear if you bring 3 or more in a row?^^
I know but since Anet wont do anything like this its better than nothing. I would even bet that they close down this thread in less than 6h.
Since there have been many complaints (also from me) about Megaservers it would be a good idea to see how much of the community really likes/dislike them.

Edit: I will show the results in 24h

Material farming is pretty much dead with the megaservers, or at least you need a partner or 2. account as anchor.
Then you also can try to solo/duo dungeon paths to sell them to other players.
-Megaservers with more spambots than ever
-Guild missions have become alsmost impossible
-No real end game content only temp. throw away zerg in a circle content has been released
-New reactor fractal is bugged and dull
-New skins on the gem shop are still uglier than a Ettins face without make up or they just recycle old skins (Flamekissed)
-Get ignored by Anet, no matter how loud or reasonably you scream they simply wont listen to you
-RP is dead
-Less ways to make money, basically goldsellers will become more popular with this
-Living story season 2 is coming altough most players absolutely hated it
And these are only a few things you “missed”
60k, you must have a good sense of the ingame economy…
Maybe the creators of the Elder Dragons made them to keep balance in Tyria? Everytime when they awake they wipe out all intelligent races but let the surface of the planet inhabitable. But what will happen if we kill all of the ED and their minions?
Since technology and even magical spells will advance with the time we will surely get to a point where we are able to destroy whole planets with a single spell or device. And from the past we know that the “intelligent” races tend to turn on each others once all common enemies have gone. Imagine 5 extremly advanced races fight each other with hightech nuclear, chemical, biological and magical weapons. The danger is that Tyria will become completely inhabitable for million of years once such a war breaks out (and it will break out). So we should let at least 1 ED alive so we can bash him into submission over and over again so we wont start killing each other.
Its already Motherday in the areas eastern of the Ural Mountains^^
Delete the names of these people or you will also get in trouble. Better report them over the support with some screens or a video
for the money you spent on a second account, you could’ve bought gems->gold->Ori/Ancient and saved yourself a few dozen hours of tedious farming.
I can buy 1600 Gems with 20 Euro, which will be about 100-120g ingame. But i need more than thats and thats why im farming. Anet killed most of my ways to make gold: Champtrain and Lootmania on Cursed shore are nerfed, crafting and TP flipping have become extremly hard with all those people turn away from champtrains and doing the same, World events Taco and the Karkaqueen are unplayable for me since the Megaserver patch. So the only ways that are left are material farming and quick dungeon runs.
Hell I used to earn 80g per day in 3-6h. Now i would need at least 16h to do so.
With the Megaserver system it has become impossible to gather Ori or Ancient Wood with multiple characters since you will get placed on a different server everytime. The only possibility is to have a “Anchor” , a player who is willed to stay on the map for the length of the gathering process (which can take up to 1 hour if you have 8 characters or more). But most of the time you wont find anyone willing to do so or at least not for free.
I have a 8 core processor so I guess it will be fine. And no I dont have a 2. PC thats why Im asking. In my previous MMORPG it was no problem to run multiple clients from the same computer. I dont understand why its not possibly (or at least not that easy) to do this in GW2.
I recently bought a 2. GW2 account since I needed a “anchor” for ressource farming.
Is there any way to open multiple clients at the same time WITHOUT using additional programms?
Im a bit of a noob here… You are all moaning that you cant farm like you used to but doesnt that mean that there is less supply and more demand? Meaning that for the ore you do sell you get more for it? :s fairly sure this is basic economics… unless people just farm the nodes for the laugh.
Yes but in the end only the goldfarmers will profit of this. While normal player need much more time now and effort to gather the ressources the goldsellers will get more gold for the same work because the bots will simply run every node on the map. Prices may rise a little bit but then will remain steady.
The German Community Liaisons are mostly silent, you rarely see one responding to forum threads even tough the German community is one of the biggest in gw2.
Anet wont take the megaservers back. So their answer for this problem probably will be:
“Deal with it”
I don’t understand how doing an event is trolling. Isn’t that what you are supposed to do? Win?
Actually yes, but in this case there are thousands of people who need this event to fail in order to progress. And if you do this event you are kittening of all of them while you dont really gets anything exept the hate of the people.
The Megaservers are a good idea but its poor implemented. My native language is German and thats why I picked a German server. But right now all I see on mapchat is English, French, Spanish and Polish and rarely German. Also this leads to MASSIVE miscommunication at events like taco or wurm (If you even manage to get on the mainserver, but thats another topic) since not everyone speaks English. This almost inevitable leads into the failure of the event even on the “main” servers. And after the fail the flame starts: The Germans call the British people “Ginger Island Monkeys”, the Frenchs “Dirt eating Underlings” and in return they call us “A bunch of stupid kittens”, just to quote some of these friendly things which are spoken in chat. Basically its a free for all “if you dont speak my language you are dumb” .
Why dont you just change the system into language based instead of random?
my guardian, engi, ranger and ranger
What bottoms are those? On engi
Norn t3
I guess this is how Anet looks at the community response: Filter out all negative comments and opinions and only highlight the positive ones.
Anet managed to kitten 2 groups with 1 update:
The new players are forced grind and do buggy events in order to level up. They are artifically slow down and they cant even do other stuff like WvW because they dont even have the most trivial traits unlocked. Really motivating especially since you can “buy” those traits with an amount of gold and skillpoints new players dont have. Why dont you just put them into Gemshop??? Would be the same exept people can spend their real money to progress.
You know that there are people who dont have time to play 6h a day because they have to work right? And after work they get into another “work” where they have to grind the kitten out of this game in order to make some progress. Probably those people will rip your game out of your hands because this makes it soooo popular. Who never wanted to be a slave and even pay for this?
Old players also have to pay to unlock the 13. trait on a skilltree and those fancy trait reset shopitems have become pretty useless.
If you want to level up an alt you will probably feel like one of those poor souls who just startet playing: Slow down by a complete garbage traitsystem, packed with 200 other people into 1 map where its especially funny when you have to do the heartquests and 20 people trying to kill this 1 monster because they all need it.
Developers of Anet whatever you are smoking, swallowing or inject, just stop please. Or at least take a smaller dose. Listen to your fans who cry up in agony instead of celebrating yourself for every update like it is something revolutional while its actually making things more difficult in a bad way. Things like the wardrobe system already exists in other games for years and even there its better implemented.
After all you probably forgot that the soul of a game is its community and the players.
Without them this whole thing is just an empty hull made by 0 and 1 and right now GW2 is losing its soul. 1 more “gamebreaking” update like this and its soul will be gone.
Forever.
Great, just great. Now i have to wait 2h for taco to show up because else Im getting into one of these numberless overflows where communication is actually impossible.
Instead of fixing things that were really broken you decided to screw up something that actually worked.
If you intended to delete the last piece of fun out of GW2 then you succeded, because there REALLY that much other things to do here. Playing dungeons which are extremly dull after the 100. run, grinding fractals because there are so many items you can get there or PVP which basically only got TDM as gamemode.
Even in crappy games likes Runes of Magic they act more playerfriendly (and the publisher there is even more greedy than Anet).
If this is a strategy to drive out the players out of GW2 into your new game Wildstar I can just say: GJ you just took another step on your slow suicide because me and many other players wont even look into this game after the experience here.
Not investing my money in precursors after the Karka event on Southsun cove. I could have bought 30 of them for 10-30g each and sold them for 500-700g each 1 year later -.-
I dont think that u can get rid of him. You can write a ticket to the support but I doubt they will be able to do anything.
There is only 1 state when a Quaggan is useful: Dead, fried in best Krytan Oil, spiced with herbs from Maguuma Jungle, served with ascalonian potatoes and a giant jug of cool Norn beer. And ofc Charr bacon, they make the best bacon ever.
I would say that the undead attack after the destruction of Orr, the long civil war in Kryta and the Charr invasion before wiped out a large part of the original population. Later the Ascalonian refugees simply repopulated the devastated country.
That’s a fair point but Ascalon suffered the Searing. Not only would a lot of people have died from the crystals, but the land was scorched and the rivers were turned into tar, which would probably have caused massive starvation. And then the charr invaded of course.
It’s not really clear if any Ascalonians immigrated to Kryta after Rurik left but if they did then they would have to face the same difficult journey. So with all these factors in mind I still think the native Krytans should be more populous than Ascalonian immigrants.
18 Years passed from the Great Fire to the final defeat of Ascalon. In this time the Orrian Risen have been dealt with, the dwarfes stopped their civil war and turned into stone, the Krytan civil war has ended and the humans gained the Asura and Norn as allies. So its a lot of time, the route trough the Shiverpeaks is more safe than before and there is actually no reason for a common Ascalonian to stay in a devastated country.
Also Ebonhawke (where all remeaining survivors live) has been connected with Kryta trough a Asuran portal since it has been established.
I would say that the undead attack after the destruction of Orr, the long civil war in Kryta and the Charr invasion before wiped out a large part of the original population. Later the Ascalonian refugees simply repopulated the devastated country.
I think you forgot that Anet sold the rights to publish in China to Kongzhong (Or whatever the name of the company is). Means Anet doesnt make any money from their diamond sellings there.
Why not? I mean, Norn have scandinavian names. Also the Dredges have a communistic government system like the old Sovjet Union.
Probably another poor guy who inhaled to much of the miasma. You forget that there were hundrets or thousands of Lion Guards who died or got injured during the fight. So its nothing speical when the field hospital is full all the time.
I just recently started to play GW1 again and Im wondering if there is something like a TP where you can buy or sell stuff.
Thanks for the answers in advance^^
So how do we all rate the end of LS season 1
in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath
Posted by: pessimist.7294
Story 6/10
Achievments 1/10
Game Mechanics 0/10
The story is interesting, killing scarlet was actually the best part of the living story.
But like always the developers kittened up the game part. Some achievments are actually impossible to do or depends heavily on luck. Example: To get the achievment “No more tricks Scarlet” u must not get hit by the laser in the hologram fight. Jokes on you, there is a 80% chance that you get hit instantly after you use the teleport. Only those who enters first and got a fast pc are able to dodge the laser which is targeted at the teleport zone. Or “Sixminutes until Knightfall” , it was already hard before they buffed the knight but now its impossible. You already rammed the condition skilled people from behind and now only 50 players are able to fight 1 knight. Now we are barely able to kill them. Mostly we manage to bring them down with 1 or 2 min left even at the prime time.
And the fight with the heavily injured Scarlet. Why dont you let us skip this sequence before the end fight???? There are some of us who needs several attempts to kill her before her shield pops up.
And after you fought the holograms and watched the sequence over and over again, lost at least 6 months of your life because of the stress, frustration and rage and you finally manage to get all achivements. Guess what you get? A fancy title, a nice armor or weaponskin, maybe some gold? Nope! All you get is a bag filled with crap they grabbed from the sewer and a mask so ugly that you need to hide it under a paper bag.
That killed the last motivation I had to play the last chapter of the LS.
I really enjoyed many of the updates like the Sanctum of the Winds. But please implement more permanent content instead of this poorly made throw away thingie like the scarlet saga.
So I completed the last map with my guardian but it turns out im still missing 7 waypoints, 11 vistas and 31(!) POIs. I finished all skillpoints which means that it has to be a town. And since Soutshsun Cove doesnt count…. (Yes i finished all towns, LA with the new POI included and all Order bases)
Remember the film Iron Sky? Fans could bring in their ideas into the film, the result is a entertaining but extremly bad film (thats why its entertaining probably).
Riverside kills him several times per day, from 2 pm – 10 pm its always a safe kill.
(He appears 12:02, 14:02, 16:02 and so on)
Timezone: UTC +1
I meant that the red circle disappeared after we killed all 3 knights.
After we killed the red knight the red buff circle just disappeared. Nobody could enter the ship anymore and complete the event. Then i tried it on another overflow. When we killed the red knight his buff field didnt even spawn. Is this intended to prevent people from farming this event or is this a bug?
Evon Gnashblade - Hero of Lion's Arch
in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath
Posted by: pessimist.7294
I do wonder how Smooth Penguin will defend this. Although he’ll probably just blame it on Kiel.
I’m still not sure if SP is really a fanatic Gnashblade supporter, or if he’s just trolling us. It’s probably the latter.
Shud asked to shut down the gate, the gate was shut down. Citizens got out using a different gate. What’s the problem?
And! At least Evon was there during the chaos doing something to benefit everyone. That merchandise on those dolyaks (which was quite unfairly confiscated, I might add) ended up saving a lot of people. Didn’t see Kiel anywhere.
Kiel was at Fort Marriner after she stole 1 of the Aertherblades Airship, she saved Magnus, the rest of the council, Canach and a lot of Lionguards.
Basically you can compare Kiel and Evon with Commander Shepard from the ME series. Both warned the council that the attack would come. But the council wouldnt listen.
During the attack Kiel decided to save the council and a lot of other people. (Paragon)
Evon decided to let the council die and save his ressources (Renegade, even tough Evon is a much bigger scumbag than Renegade Shepard)
Where's all the dark stuff in this chaos?
in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath
Posted by: pessimist.7294
After all this is a game which doesnt only appeals to 18+ people.
I mean if they really wanted to make it realistic they also had to bring in people who inhaled the tocix miasma and coughing up their own lungs in little pieces while they slowly and painfully suffocate. Soldiers wouldnt just drop down when they get hit, they would scream because a explosion ripped of their legs and arms or because they are holding their own internal organs in their hands. Children would have to watch their parents gets stuck in the rubble and burn alive. There would be dead people, blood and bodyparts everywhere. Anet would have to show these mass graves where the Lionguard just throw in the dead corpses without even noticing the names of the dead.
Most people in GW2 are playing this game to relax from a hard day in school or at work. I dont think you want to go home, turn on your pc and the first thing you see is a little girl running from the enemy. Before you can do anything she gets brutally impaled by a dredge and she is not dead, no she is still breathing and slowly dies of the blood loss.
I dont think thats very relaxing to see.
Considering this Anet actually did a good job to balace between the atmosphere and the authentic of the whole scenario without making it too heavy to handle it. You may think 1 or 2 minutes about it, but it wont burn into your mind.
Tyria survived the Charr onslaught, the White Mantle/Mursaat and several elder Dragons. But they will lose to the biggest enemy: fat.
The automatons have been hacked by Scarlet, not much the humans can do. And about the pirates: The Aetherblades are actually just a bunch of normal pirates with modern technology. We had a pirate problem already before. And since pirates are a association of several races they do not represent any state or race as full. However, the dredges are only known as aggressive race who attacks people out of greed and expansionism. Even the Charr are not that worse compared to these filthy abominations.
Because of this I and many others demand a crusade to purge this evil from the landscape.
