There wasnt any trouble with Doc Howler in that tavern for my thief. IIRC i was in double pistol/shortbow build: chain blinds helped a lot. But then again – i saved Quinn so he was helping me there (he is useless anyway).

I think they should introduce timeout (3-7 days, maybe 10-15 days) on both buy and sell orders listing and reduce tax to 1-2% for listing and 3-4% for actual selling items. Add restriction of max orders per account (5buy/5sell) and add something in gem shop to increase that limit.

Make wild animals less aggressive

I do not know how live is in the peaceful place you come from. But in my world bears, lynxes, wolves, panthers, scorpions, spiders, moose, mothers in law, etc rip you a new one if you come into their range.

That is one of the reasons everybody, including you in your OP, calls them wild animals.

Yes of course they will defend their young, their den, their nest et, this is usually why wild animals attack humans. But with the exception of the odd rogue beast they don’t usually attack to eat you or for no good reason. They also don’t usually just stand around in the open in broad daylight waiting to pounce on passers by. In many cases you’ll be hard pressed to actually spot a wolf, a bear, a stag, a boar etc because they will smell you coming a mile off and slink away into the undergrowth.

I’ve got no issues with fighting giant spiders in caves, having to beat off a pack of wolves or bears if I go into their den etc etc. My issue is with moving around in the open and having to constantly kite wild animals that have been placed randomly around the landscape to fill the map up, often on the roads and even directly outside of towns and settlements.

Try to think that those animals are hunting and daydreaming travelers and unlucky heroes are their usual prey.

or at least they could’ve implemented EvE online system adapted to GW2 gameplay: add squad commander manual (10g) and lieutenant manual (50g) to commander’s one.
Squadcom (if activated) can invite up to 2 groups of players (including squadcom himself – 11 ppl total), Lieutenant can link up several (2-3) squadcoms into platoon and commander merges several platoons into company/battalion.

Each officer (if alive) can provide some bonuses for his subordinates while they are in a range, lieutenants have wider range and commander have widest. They can select only 1 bonus of their choice that should be “invented” in their guild, maybe one of those that you get in keeps if claiming guild has proper upgrades that will work outside of said keep. Bonuses are applied to officer himself and below, so commander will have only 1 bonus for himself, lieutenants up to 2 while the rest of company can have up to 3 of them. Similar bonuses does not stack (for ex. if lieutenant and commander chose same power bonus – only 1 is applied).

It says “Legendary” right on the tooltip.

also name is purple in color, and says legendary right on the tooltip…

Tooltips are often wrong. Also color of item’s name determines its rarity level, not tooltip or flavor text. IIRC purple items on release had “mystic” or “mythic” rarity in tooltips and were changed to “legendary” some patches ago. Trade Post’s filter defines legendary items as red named, not purple. There are some purple items available in mists with legendary in tooltips but that doesnt make them legendary.

Why is GW2 combat sooooo BORING???

if you talk about using autoattack over and over again you probably talking about PvE (which isnt competitive nearly enough). In WvW or sPvP that point of view is obsolete unless you like to be meat shield(in WvW) or get stomped by everyone else that use their characters to their fullest. Utility skills and traits can greatly enhance one’s gameplay and there is enough of them to provide “skill customization to allow personal variety”. If you dont like cooldowns on your skills – try to play a thief.

And where a good flow and rotation did exist (Guardian Greatsword) they nerfed it, altered it and destroyed it.

Now watch closely. Old rotation: 2-3-4-2-3-4-2-3-4. New rotation: 4-2-3-4-2-3-4-2-3.
Now answer – what is changed/altered or destroyed? Definitely not motion memory as everyone said after patch.

Mystic forge nerfed again?

Posted by: zbrkesbr.4173

I received 1 rare from 6 mystic forge attempts. Lower than what I used to get.

But if you received 2 rares from 6 forges – that would be higher than u used to get(and higer than player-claimed average). That is why small samples cannot be used in any kind of discussion about changes in chances. Do 1000 combines (4000 items), record them and come back here <- that would be useful information for next “after patch mf nerf” research.

How easy or difficult is it to remove and re-add the Authenticator?

I ask because my plan is currently up and I’ve been thinking about upgrading my phone. So, if I get the Authenticator on my current phone, and then get a new phone, will I be able to easily switch from the Authenticator on my old phone to the one on my new phone?

I’d hate to get the Authenticator on my old phone only to be unable to switch to the one on my new phone and effectively locking myself out of my own account.

I believe that every authenticator has its own unique serial number which you can use to register with authenticator on a new device to be able to use it with your account. At least that was the case with blizzard authenticator for android platform.

Friend's account compromised - unable to get anywhere with support

He pre-ordered Guild Wars 2, tried out the beta and got his account compromised and the email address changed on launch day in addition to his email inbox, which was cleared out up to early June. Unfortunately this included his order confirmation email…
…He does however, have a bank statement, showing a payment for the product and the number of the card he used to purchase it, along with an email confirming his early beta access.

A bit confusing part of information. I believe that ALL accounts from early beta were deleted and you had to re-register a new one with serial number you get after purchasing this game (either box or digital variant).

Edit: or you could try to log in with his GW1 credentials (or GW2 mail and GW1 password).

To comment on the thread, I don’t mind the bifrost, but I feel like the devs spent much more effort on designing the great swords (of which there are three!) than any of the other weapons.

Actually there is only 1 Truly Legendary Greatsword – and that is Eternity. Sunrise and Twilight are just precursors for it. I think Eternity changes its effects to sunrise during nighttime and to twilight during the day or vise versa (just like ghostly weapons start to glow only during night). So to get Eternity you have to do twice the effort needed to get Bifrost and its perfectly understandable that you get better effects for more effort.

Has crafting boosters been nerfed?

in Crafting

Posted by: zbrkesbr.4173

zbrkesbr.4173

OP you mistake crafting exp with character exp. Crafting booster gives bonus to crafting exp (additional chance to get bonus to be precise) which means you require less materials to lvl your crafting skill. Your character gets experience for leveling crafting skill, not for crafting itself.
Less than 10 levels from 1-400 is easily explainable if you know how you are awarded exp for crafting: lets assume that each crafting lvl up gives you 2.5% of character lvl on average to simplify this example, then you have 399*2.5% of character exp to begin with (less than 10 lvls). Also you lose a bit of exp on actual char lvling as each next character lvl requires more exp: if you had 99% of character exp and gained 1 level in crafting – you’ll get 2.5% of exp for that character level. Character will successfully level up and excess 1.5% will go to the next level, but as it requires more exp to lvl – those 1.5% will become 1-1.2%(for example).
Its easy to understand(i think) and there is nothing to fuss about. Crafting booster works as intended.

Incidentally, the only thing you can reliably do with the outmanned buff is kill Sentries, and maybe Dolyaks, on the road… both of which give a substantially reduced amount of karma in the first place.

That is wrong. Even 2 players can cap supply camps in about 30-60 sec each (including time to stand in a circle) – did that with my friend a lot of times.
But i still agree that outmanned buff is just a joke.

Bad Blood Jumping Puzzle

I won’t be retrying … I simply won’t be trying in the first place. Sweaty palms, nausea, dizziness, and heart palpitations – or even losing my lunch – for a quest line that includes a jumping puzzle? No.

And bringing a friend to give me stability? It won’t help either, since it’s a phobia and will do nothing for that.

I wish I could just roll back to before that character said that she’d join the Priory and make a different choice. Sadly, it seems I may have to delete her and waste all that time and effort. I won’t make the mistake of choosing Priory again.

I do, however, appreciate the efforts of those who took the time to respond.

I wonder how will you complete “Tribulation rift” jumping puzzle/vista. Also if you have such phobias – maybe that game is not for you as it revolves around jumping?

Erasculio don’t know what to say about you tbh. Think everyone already got the point besides you lol. Just google NECROMANCER, then look at the staff.
I do not care about a few people going all mad with white/pink dyed necromancer and love the staff, there’s always a few. Good for them.

I do not want a common exotic staff, I want a legendary staff. And the staff was made as if they didn’t know GW2 had necromancer, I simply do not understand what Devs were thinking. Also the fact that greatswords have several amazing effects, yet staff gets a few sparkles is just lazy.

ATM I’m getting the parts of legendary which are needed for all of them, I’m leaving the precursor and crafted gifts for last as I’m not sure which 1 I’m getting. Even if I end up getting the staff I’m 90% sure I’ll roll a mesmer.

Tbh The Bifrost should be UNUSABLE for necromancer, that’s how wrong it is.
And this is the thing I’d love to know next time when I create a character lol. A warning saying: ‘THIS IS THE LEGENDARY STAFF THE BIFROST (pic) IF U EVER DECIDE TO GET ONE, ARE YOU kittenING SURE YOU WANT THIS ON A NECROMANCER ?’

how so? all it does is reroute traffic through certain proxy-server to (possibly) reduce latency without scanning or tampering packets/client. It is more like a system tool (like FW or AV as i mentioned) than 3rd party gaming tool to give player unfair advantage over other players. Same goes for TcpAckFrequency/MSMQ fix (also known as “Leatrix latency fix”) – it doesnt change anything related to game or client, but can enhance gameplay a lot by reducing latency/lag.
