I do not have the specialization maxed out yet. Is that why I can’t equip the longbow?

No you don’t need to max it out. When you spend the first 30 points it unlockes longbow when you choose the dragon hunter in the trait line.

Are you using the bottom specialization slot, the one marked with the special border?

This specialization can only be put in the bottom slot. What this means too is when they add more specializations we won’t be able to mix them.

You also have to train it to first under the training tab for 30 hero points.

Guesting isn’t needed any more. All servers from the same region use the same mega server. If you happen to get into a different instance you can party up and then select join in map by clicking on there portiat.

The server transfer wait period is because of wvw.

simplesimon.2084

There is a memory leak and it is a problem. I can literally watch it. With task manager open on a side monitor, I can watch the GW2.exe process use more, and more, and more memory. I’ve got 16 GB of ram, so I can play for a good chunk of time before it catches me. I feel for those with 8 GB or less…

Anything with a large amount of “things” going on, like world boss fights, and EotM/WvW shows this happening quickly.

I have only 4 gigs of memory running windows 10 64bit and have never got an OOM error. I do world bosses, wvw and play for hours at a time with the highest settings that still give a good fram rate. I’m not sure why you are getting crashes and I’m not, but it would say to me it is something in your system.

Elite Specializations are a Waste of Time

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: simplesimon.2084

simplesimon.2084

Right, so this QQ is on the bases that U want the Elite specialisation for free?.. claiming this is a barrier and not content?..

Right, so No PvEr is going to raid?… No PvEr will do world Bosses?…. No PvEr could possibly have interests in WvW, Litterally 100% of the community complete Quests then AFK in main towns for the Rest of their lives?… Not even guild missions?….

im sorry but the statements ridiculous, theres NOTHING ELSE TO SPEND THE kitten THINGS ON, ofcourse this new specialization was GOING to involve hero points its Funded EVERY OTHER specialization throughout Guild Wars 2, to claim its suddenly wrong is ridiculous.

there is 0 terrible decisions made, dragonhunters great and is performing well in PvE and PvP and the reasons to refuse having it all together is ridiculous, to claim it was a waste of money without the elite is ridiculous, as im pretty sure PvErs mainly bought this Expansion FOR THE NEW PVE CONTENT.

400 hero points is steep, i did feel like maybe slightly too high, but to outright Say theres 0 justification to it.. and nothing to do after u’ve done it is just bullcrap, i did feel it should be on the Same sorta guideline of grind for any other Specialization, as these elites are ment to ADD to the proffession and not replace it, so the reasoning for it to be so much higher then the rest is ridiculous.

but at the end of the day, some inconviences exist.

When I picked my profession at launch, I got to play as it. I didn’t need to play anything else to unlock it. I could use all of the weapons, and only with about a 5 minute commitment I could use all weapons.

I could use the hero points to get other things like sigils, signets, meditations, etc… and that’s fine because the costs were reasonable and well within my level range.

Currently, I’ll have to complete the entire expansions Hero Challenges to actually get to play Dragon Hunter at lvl 80 capacity, so I can do all the wonderful PvE stuff you were talking about: world bosses, dungeons, raids, etc… Except for half that stuff, I’ve already done it plenty of times. I’ll do all the new content with my normal Guardian, so I can get Dragon Hunter, and do all the stuff I’ve been doing over and over and over again.

I’m not asking for something for free; I’m asking to be able to play something I paid money to have access to in a reasonable amount of time, at a reasonable point of the game.

You can unlock your elite spec with just 65 hero points. After that the other points unlock traits and skills for that spec.

Luck Sink past 300%

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: simplesimon.2084

simplesimon.2084

Greed knows no bounds.

There are 2 scenario’s which allowed you to cap mf to 300%

  • You are filthy rich and bought your way to 300% mf through ToT bags or whatever means
  • You salvage items bought from the TP to resale the broken down materials for a profit

There is zero reason to give people gold (because that is what this sink is about, turning something you have no use for into something profitable) for essence of luck, non.

But here is an idea:

  • Turn in a stack of exotic essence of luck for a stack of bloodstone dust/dragonite ore/empyreal fragments

Good thing not all players are salty for no reason like this guy god forbid it affects players besides him.

Someone disagrees with me, better call him salty without providing any arguments why essense of luck should get a sink.

Just a question, how do I get to Neverland? Might as well ask an inhabitant.

That’s an interesting statement for someone, who posted something that mostly translates into “someone reached 300 MF before me – better call them greedy regardless of how they reached the cap, what kind of luck sink they expect (profit generating or not…) etc.”.

You also didn’t provide any arguments why there should not be a sink (calling everyone who disagrees with you greedy is not a valid argument btw.).

Let’s just be glad that the decision in that regard isn’t made by you but by people who actually know whether it is a good idea to have useless items in the game and in what extend a sink for said items would affect the economy of the game. The fact that there already are some recipes that use luck essences shows that those people at least think there should be other uses for luck. It’s just a question of whether there will be additional ones to make the sink for the huge amounts of luck you get from different sources more efficient…

sigh, I also said in this thread that the only reason why essense of luck is even in the game is because magic find gear was selfish towards other players that did not use that gear and were doing more overal while getting less.
To that extent, essence of luck and reaching 300% MF served it’s purpose. There is zero reason to give it additional value beside its use to magic find.

No one here in this thread gives arguments why essence of luck should get additional sinks others than ‘I hit the mf cap, now I want more’. It’s just not a valid argument because the sole purpose we get essence of luck is to reach 300%.

Everything that drops should have a use. Even if it is small like a few copper to a vendor. For these people there is currently no use for luck

gray items want to have a word with you, also essense of luck has uses untill you hit 300% after that its a gray item

If your refer to junk items they can be sold or turned in to heart collectors. Now there is a bug where a few heart items continue to drop even after the heart is completed, but that is a bug.

They could add a vender were you could exchange a stack of luck in for a luck booster. That way they are not getting gold but there is still a use for luck after you cap it.

About Heart of Thorns.....

Posted by: simplesimon.2084

simplesimon.2084

When and where did you buy the core game from. They was a refund if you bought it from Anet during a set time period.

Refund of core game purchase
In addition to our standard 30 day refund policy on game purchases, we’re offering automatic refunds to all players who purchased the core Guild Wars 2 game through buy.guildwars2.com or in-game during the months leading up to pre-purchase. All accounts that meet the following criteria will receive an automatic refund for Guild Wars 2 core game purchases:

The core Guild Wars 2 serial code was purchased from buy.guildwars2.com or in-game and applied to your account between January 23, 2015 and June 16, 2015
The Heart of Thorns serial code was pre-purchased from buy.guildwars2.com or in-game and applied by July 31, 2015

Refunds will be for the full amount of the core game purchase (for example, if you purchased the core game for $10, you’ll get a $10 refund).
Refunds can only be applied to the method of payment used to make the core game purchase. If the method of payment you used is expired, closed, or otherwise unavailable, a refund will still be processed to that account. You will need to contact your financial institution to determine how the funds can be sent back to you. We are unable to process refunds for purchases made with paysafecards.
We will begin refunding accounts on July 12, 2015, and approximately once per week after that until the first week of August. Once your refund is processed, it may take up to five days to appear on your statement.

Now your past that July 31 and Anet doesn’t sell just the core game any more so I’m guessing you got it from a third party retailer. You could talk to them about a refund but that would close your account and you would probably have to start a brand new one with the HoT expansion which includes the core game for free.

If you want to see if it is better to salvage or sell look at the price of the item and then look at the price of the mats that item can give. Now when you salvage an item there is a random factor on how much you will get to take into account. I think you will find in most cases it is better to salvage and sell.

Now to do this with every item is time consuming. Time which could be spent getting more items which is why most say to salvage everything.

Elite Specializations

simplesimon.2084

Well, we can’t answer for sure BUT, since you need to be level 80, and at level 80 you have points enough to unlock everything … I will assume yes, you do need.

See I would say you don’t need to unlock all the core traits first since each is going to have it’s own separate wheel. If you didn’t want to do hero challenges you could save your hero points at 80. Unlock the two core lines you plan on using and then use the other hero points for the elite spec trait line. But like was said we don’t know for sure.

You’ll find berserker stats are what most people run. Depending on your supply of laurals you can get an ascended amulet. You can also by rings and accessories with those too but they can be bought elsewhere cheeper. Rings from fractals and accessories from guild missions.

This applies to lvl 80. At lvl you will have enough to unlock all trait lines. After the trait lines have been unlocked you can freely switch. To unlock the trait lines you need to go to the training tab under the hero menu.

For non 80s they rebuilt your character using hero points. You will get hero points from lvling and from hero challenges to unlock other lines.
