make them mystic forgeable ill gladly trade four for something else. you could even make the ones we get account bound. i got 9 slots five had b-days today. i dont need or want 9 mini jennas let me mystic forge 8 of them please and if i have to trash them you might as well call me ticked of. its bad ill probably trash several of the scrolls doubt ill ever use 9 total of them
well I received one a few days ago and as an altholic I just purchased another slot made the guy then used the scroll. Level 20 in 1 min went to tp spent not even 3 silver and kitted the guy out with level 20 gear.
So yes may be useless to some but was good for me. Still have to open my chars that were created at launch so who knows may even buy another slot.
As far as the mini goes they will just go into storage along with any minis I have.
Guys you get things for free some complain if they asked for a fee there would be complaints. Just accept what you have and stop asking to be spoonfed all the time.
i wouldnt complain at all except i got four useless minis and i cant mystic forge them. i got 5 total so one good but at least give me option of mystic forging the other four even if it became another account bound mini i couldnt sell id be alright but that didnt happen. they could have taken five from the new set and used those and made them account bound so what do i do i can only throw four minis in the bin and anymore i get in months ahead. second i dont have any chars under 20 so the scroll are useless more trash and wont be buying any new slot unless they release more races or classes.its all like on my real birthday getting 5 of the same gift only maybe in real life i can return four for something which would make me happier here i got to throw out the extras. im happy for the one gift but the four others im ticked off about. they should either had made a set of minis or allowed the minis to forgeable with a bit of rng
I thought about making my own thread to post the following idea, but might as well use this one:
What if the Living World story worked for both the dragons and these seemingly pointless filler arcs? The way I would have designed it is as follows:
Let’s say our next Elder Dragon fight is against Kralkatorrik.
• Release 1 new zone per month – start with opening the gate in Fields of Ruin, next to Ebonhawke, to enter the first area of the Crystal Desert.
• The Living Story will revolve around Zojja trying to gather Destiny’s Edge and other supporters to begin the campaign against Kralk.
• Next month release the 2nd area of the Crystal Desert – the story advances by having new threats appear to hinder the progress of the campaign. For example: Scarlet’s Invasion COULD have been placed here. This would give us plot points about her motives and such.
• Continue expanding the Crystal Desert with 1 zone per month adding new mini-stories that may or may not be directly linked to Kralk, but by being in the way of the campaign against him, they are a problem that needs to be overcome.
• The Dragon’s Lair could get a month of it’s own for example: the place where Glint resided in GW1. More story about her ties with Kralk, and the Zephyrites…This system also fulfills ANET’s vision of “expansions”. They’d actually be releasing all the things you’d normally find in an expansion, via Living Story instead: new areas, new skills, progress to the main story against the dragons, possibly even new races if they chose to start from Dominion of Winds for example (the Tengu).
nice idea i like it really i think once a month per area might be too much… im thinking an area every other month would be better that gives then a whole month at least to ad more stuff to those areas
yeah i dont have the time to waste so it doesnt work for me so im skipping this chapter. im sorry anet but this overflow stuff doesnt work and hasnt worked noticed that back at the dragon bash. im sorry but my time is valuable and im not going to waste time waiting for event to start only to find out i cant play an event because im stuck in overflow
well im assuming there are many more things to be found out. i dont think scarlet is our personal nemisis cause it was clearly stated when we met them we would know them and scarlet no one has any recollection of meeting her. so on that point alone i think we will be getting more answers. if we dont then this was truly a terrible story that was haphazardly thrown together and i doubt anet could do anything with this ls story and id leave the game so fast especially when they hyped it so much and created this garbage and should go back to the drawing board
im thinking account bound with a possibility to put 4 into mystic toilet and get a different mini
naw she with the molten alliance i see fire shaman all over her
each segment could have do stuff to support either side of the war. let it go over 6 to 12 ls chapter long and you got a deal i like the thought op and in a way if this happened i might feel like i had a real impression on the future of tyria. might take a lot of extra work drawing up to endings or working on both endings when they arent sure of the outcome but the material they dont use they could possibly use later. also our action who be real choices on how we shape the world
i didnt care for it but im hoping it comes back permanent mainly cause there are tons of people who did love it
I allow anyone in my guild to represent anyone they want…because this is a game…not a job. People play games to have fun.
I try to make the guild a fun place to be, and those who like what we do usually do represent. Some people have very good reason for representing other guilds at different times. For example, we don’t do much WvW, but some people like it. So they have a WvW guild. Why should I care? Why should their WvW play give me influence?
I’d say 90 plus percent of my guild represents 90% of the time….but even in the past when that wasn’t happening, it was fine. We still got enough influence to do what we needed with those who did represent.
Edit: Maybe it’s because I see the guild is serving the members, I don’t see the members as serving the guild.
and your guild would probably be one id enjoy if i didnt like mine so much… so many guilds think they have to go big or nothing but its the smaller guilds that give me more reason to play… if it wasnt for my guild i probably would have quit 3 to 4 months ago
It doesn’t really work like that. Players are lazy. Unless you can supply a player with everything they want (which is pretty much impossible) they ditch you for a guild that can supply them with more, which only the mega-guilds we have today can supply.
Most of the people in my guild haven’t repped for over 3 months. We got all the way to unlocking puzzles and everyone gave up.
I don’t want to leave due to all the hard work that went into it, but I feel silly being one of the only people ever online and representing.
maybe thats why i prefer a smaller guild i only have two guild and one for my personal storage so i dont rep it i buy influence for it through gold ive earned. the other is a small guild and they are still unlocking stuff but are a great group of people i prefer to being with over a large guild that you hardly know anyone. there is only one person in the guild i met before gw2 and hes the one who convinced me to join. i left a guild that had all unlocked they were too big and too antipersonal. i think thats what happened with your guild it got too big and people dont really feel like they belong anymore. if i dont like the atmosphere i wont stay but if i can have fun with a smal group of people i wil stay. so i must be the opposite of what you say i left a guild that could supply me with everything and went to a guild that working on the stuff but is more fun due to we became a closer group of people and yes we are growing we have doubled membership in the last month
tequautl shadow behemoth and shatterer are my favorite but jungle wurm, fire elemental and golem arent far behind and rather easy jormag takes too much time but is unique but i dont usually do him
this wouldnt be the first time they wanted to get him released so would fit it lore wise of therm trying to get him released and actually might make sense for the living story if his release was behind both the aetherblade and molten alliance maybe one or more of his benefactors is working on his release. i still have doubt5 they could relate both the aetherblade and molton alliance this being one thing that could make me see a possible connection
i expect when the cash shop doesnt support the game well enough there will be an expansion. its my opinion its gem sales that fuel the living story and will continue to fund it. it could be year 2 could be year 5 depending on how good the content is and if people continue to fund it via cash shop. so no maybe this could be a game without expansions. i personally prefer expansions but this is a decent enough game i guesss ill wait and see
im sorry but when i was pharoah i had this monument build called a pyramid that a loft of people died making and cost so much. that the expenses spent by queen jenah is nickel in the barrel stuff to me and citizens should put their lives on the line when doing stuff for royalty. we are like descendants from the gods and like dude
they also made it if you only log in and do daily you can get achievement rewards too
i agree it a more rounded patch of ls that ive seen and hope future patches give the same types of content
ok i understand where your coming from and they did add the daily and monthly part to the achievements this time which i hope stays for future ls stuff. i dont mind the repetitive stuff as long as its so high that one cant get it the Launch 100 fireworks”, “Pummel 150 pinatas”, “Light 50 effigies i thought were ok a pain but not that bad and easily doable for a person with limited time i did them all. i thought the 2500 for the southsun survival was a mite high so i agree 1000 would have been enough… the guantlet my biggest problem is this isnt permanent i dont have time to do real hard stuff so i skip it entirely if it was permanent i would get around to it i just dont have enough time to do real hard stuff thats going to go away.. thats why i did do any of the aetherblade stuff heard and saw from dev video that it was hard i did other things instead. just commenting on your feedback although it was a mite long it was well done
LEEEEEEERRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
I’ll just assume you mean KIIIIIILLROOOOOY STOOOONEKIIIIIN!!!!!
kilroy was reference to leroy jenkins so im thinking he meant leroy
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Kilroy_Stonekin
look in the trivia section
first you forgot to mention youve changed to a higher tier thats more the reason prob why your in last place then the champs giving better loot. increased people in lost shores or frostgate is a good thing even if they arent doing the dynamic events. theres a chance a solo person who needs help with those asks in chat gets the help instead of having no one to hear then ask for help. now queensdale always had a champ train already and that area alone might be worse of by the champ loot so 2 plus one neg and one other difference because of tier change makes it an equal so it balances out to a better thing
datamine…. 400 gems
200 actually. And only if you log in on the 28th.
omg i thought it was a joke, is this serious??? if so, then im pretty dissapointed in anet dont they care about their own birthday?
They might also give out a free hat. I like free hats.
Free hat eh ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHeyCiIYU8U“I told you guys…never underestimate den power of free hats …! " !!
thats one of my all time fav episodes of south park
I have it on good authority that the OP is a watchknight.
hes trying to cause disent within the peoples mind of the crown so im thinking hes a watchknight controlled by the aetherblades
i thought it was a great idea especially for those with limited time and they have to decide between dailies and ls stuff.me being one of them didnt do the last few chapters of ls stuff due to time constaints
This is a celebration. It is kind of expected that people will stop what they usually do and go to the festivities to enjoy.
Just wait two more weeks, and things will get back to normal.. which means the rest of the open world will remain more or less empty while Queendale and Wayfarers have a lot of people running around, people return to farm Fractals and Dungeons, and WvWers are finally back to the borderlands (even if on my server this weeks has been the same as ever).
with the two week rotation only a few people have time to anything other then the living story.
i think the other are saying a few suggestion on how to improve wvw. i for one would like to see different maps for the borderlands keep same number of poi vistas and skill points just change the layouts a bit. it seems like im running the same terrain everytime i go into wvw. there has been mention of doing something with the orbs so it does seem they are looking into changing it up a bit
its bad when you got to learn not to use certain skills and i totally agree op it doesnt make sense to me its almost like the stun should have gone to the target not to self would have made more sense
my rate been about the same i have good days and bad days but about the same id say
no problem for me with this idea. i wouldnt mind another perm mining tools for a different char, d
guild missions id be cool with but other world champions and bosses they would to increase the reward for doing them if they do it. a lot of people only do events if it in their time to reward ratio. so if it takes twice as long to do boss they need to double the reward people get to make it worthwhile otherwise they will just do something else that makes more reward for time involved… thats why so many people did cof p1 because it was quick and had decent rewards.. to sum up if you increase difficulty you must increase rewards to compensate for the extra time to do it
if you create a fun place to be and do a decent amount of stuff they will rep and only rep other guild when doing another facet of the game like pvp. i would never join a guild where they require 100 percent cause i know there wil be a reason not to at some point. if guild chats a ghost town ill leave such guild for one thats not even if i know they are on ts or some other form of communication.i hate running extra programs to play a game. a guild that doesnt at least do some events wont have me in them. events are what get people to play together and relating to each other. the rep will come if they want to rep you and enjoy their time here no need to force rep if you force they may regret joining you in the first place and if they regret joining they may stay til they find a better guild out there. being a guild leader can be a lot of work and if your not wiling to do a lot of work and delegate a lot of work your probably not going to have a good guild. a guild of friend will be a lot less work if they enjoy being there talking with friends. a guild is more for building friends then actual gaming unless your super elite and even then im sure your going to make friends
im going to yes i agree there have been times where a champ was near a point where we need to commune where another needs it too so one distracts the champs while one gets the commune then comes back and rezzes the first person then does the distraction himself to help out the other guy. ive seen calls out for help in chat a way more needed come to help out a cal then needed. yes i also agree when the game was newer there was more help but people still do it. the rezzers of downed people might mean you get less loot from a boss but lots of people still do it. i know i do. rezzing down people so they dont have to waypoint to get a dragon chest before you grab the chest yourself
rabbit i dont care mainly cause in gw1 they lured me into a trap so kill all those you want but when they mess with baby dolyaks it fries my extremeties. if i fond them killing quagons or skritt im going to be really mad
this is one thing i really did like how they did the achievements for this one and i hope it continues. a few of the chapters i only did three or four of the achievement and did my daily over ls achievements so i might have gotten the big prize if they would have done it that way. the way they did it this time gives us more freedom to do things our own way so it was good
maybe its time to replace him hes lost all short term memory.. oh no not another stinking election for the living story section
i really really agreee op it does seem the same way and i want more quality over quality. ive questioned their quickness they want to put out material several times. so far they have said a lot but i wont believe it til i see it they dont have great record of keeping promises even back in gw1 when they introduced heros they said they couldnt expand them to 7 man teams(said the game wouldnt allow them to do that) which they did farther down the line
just came to report this myself its good they know about it
the holograph just freaks me out not because its a hologram but its a huge ugly person there. its like big sister is watching me and scares makes me want to hide in the sewers with the skritt dude til shes gone
I just saw an excellent solution for this actually. The daily and monthly achievements have an hourly countdown on them in the interface showing how much time is left to do them. Add one of those to all the temporary achievements and problem solved.
this is an excellent idea. even though if im going to do stuff i get it done early but id support a timer on this stuff even if an updates late people will expect it to end at the certain time so no more compaints
yes the event dailies is an awesome aspect and i love how it gives people who just do dailies a way to get eh mini aka those a bit more casual. im with you im not a gaunlet person and prefer the pavilion. this was one of their better updates as for contining the aetherblade story somewhat. one of the few updates to me that felt they were building on something. the champ rewards i adore mainly cause im a daily/monthly person and these tend to be in those so it kind of a plus when i do those now.. im going to give the update a b compared to thinking the last few were more like a d
as for update i give kudos here pretty good update and i like how they stayed with a bit about the aetherblades. still wondering about the molten alliance though.. wouldnt mind if they did a molten segment after this part is over. love the champ loot and the wallet dont care what anyone says i was always forgeting my gold on a certain char aN when needed had to hop around looking for it.. wouldnt mind a little wvw maybe change up the zones a bit.. same old maps get boring but thats for future reference
What’s her aspect then? Hotness?
no getting lame guys to fall over hells in love with her
im thinking the jubileee is jenna finally got her period and now she wants to celebrate with us and her bff logan thackery and she hopes his former friends will forgive him and get together and have cake and ice cream and play pin the tail on the dolyak and no mister big bad guys interupts her party… in all actually ness im hoping a big rat comes out of the hole and we have to investigate where the big rats came from…heh heh maybe the home of the big cats
all i can say i’m sorry your in festivaless society… i feel for you man…so during this festival i want tou scream every five minutes you play festival out loud so your neighbors can enjoy it too..m’kay
sorry about the rant i really like the game and see so much potential to be stellar but keep getting hit by just meh stuff.. it kind of kittens me off
i commend you on your work vahkris it is good summaries and you got down what i come across in the game and other sites. but my biggest problem i sort of see their someone behind all the garbage but not enough to keep me interested. its been too flip floppy and not good enough to keep me and funny thing i thought flame and frost was rather good and if they could have stayed closer to it and three or four chapters related to that before they moved to southsun id be ok. im sitting thinking the last few chapter sort of connect but its not enough they lost me when they finished frost and flame. yeah there has been minor updates(dialog updates) to rox and braham but really not enough to keep me hanging on. i mean serious we couldnt have delivered that big of a blow to the molten alliance for then to sit doing nothing for 6 months.. lets see more recon on them find out more about them they are just as mysterious now as in when we found out about them… another thing aetherblades just decide to fly away.. they attack then get slapped and run away… lets see something more about them… this is a story i think… what is the sanctum going to just disappear maybe 3 years from now itll visit again with its glint mysteries i want to know about… thats what ticks me of about the living story. it just does pieces when it could expand so much more for us

to tell the truth the last section ive thought of the first two a few times thinking hey maybe some other game wont be another full time job but i dont get into too many games it could four or five years before i find another.. all along ive been saying they need to slow down and take more time(and this is since release.. i thought they released too quick too) but they keep increasing and speeding up
im going out on a limb and say the food will be over spiced and everyone gets sicks resulting in the royal cook to never cook again
I’ll just go ahead and leave this here.
yep thats where i got it but thought it fit
yeah they are called relatives but cant kick em out cause they are blood…lol..sorrry
Is it really that deep if the OP didn’t call it out? Especially given that the troll tends to be up pretty frequently? And when it IS up, it doesn’t last for very long? I’ve been in Queensdale, see the map chat pop “Troll up” … Consider what I’m doing, consider what I want to do, consider how far I am from it, and by that time, map chat pops “Troll down”. He/she not calling it out that particular time may have upset some perfectly laid out strategy for strip-mining events as quickly as humanly possible, but overall I can’t see it amounting to much … be a different story altogether if it only spawned once every 24 hours.
On the flipside, though, when I’m in the cave and I set off the runestone, I do give a shout out that “Troll is up”, or when I see the Wasp Queen or the giant in Nageling, but once I’ve given that shout-out, all bets are off. Much as I’d like to be the best friend to humanity, I’m not going to wait all night for everyone and their sister’s cousin’s husband’s beer-buddy to show up …
as one who usually runs in the zerg train(i do call out event and do them in a set order) im ok with this you called it out gave me the chance to get there if i cant make it time who cares its a game. also i wouldnt chew someone out for not doing it(calling it out) its there right to call or not to call. i know about time the event goes off if i miss it its one more jump to the next one i need for monthly or daily no big deal. i for one dont tell anyone else how to play they can play there own way
