Guild Wars 2

That’s a tad extreme. No option for a refund of the game?

Sounds lovely but we have dragons to fight.

I really like these but I find they attach a little low. I can live with that though.

Have you hit the kway yet? Staffs is nothing on that.

I like Bubbles but maybe Lord Oceanblossom Legripper the Remorseless Eating Machine for some formal dignity.

Corrected that for you

Ah yes, thank you.

Special thanks to Randulf and Just a Flesh Wound for their input on this project.

Even if I don’t talk about Anet, the guy before me clearly says people made mistake buying those item.

I’m mostly not even talking about refund. I’m just saying the way Anet do business is a bit shady. In fact almost all cash shop games are a bit shady.

Does it ever occur to you everything might just be a business decision? I’m not sure if I get the wrong impression, you seemed to think Anet is very innocent in this situation.

Welcome to the world of retail. It can be a pretty cynical business.

Aha! Thanks. I thought I’d scrolled up to see if it was a continuation. Going to make a similar excuse about posting while working…

Nice work, Donari.

Getting this skin was one of the reasons I bought GW1 a couple of years ago, and when I finally reached that level of HoM points I pulled it out and thought “…oh…”. I thought for sure the flames would be off while its “sheathed” but no, and I don’t use it for the travelling weapon set. Looks silly. I imagine the character wearing it running going “ow…ow…kitten ouch!…Dwayna no ow…ow”.

A finishing touch for my new guy a couple of posts up: A dinky little beat up backpack for his first ever travel from home longer than a day trip without a delivery cart.

I love the low level crafted back packs. What’s this guy wearing?

I think that’s the Tailoring T1 backpack. Sorry, not in-game at the moment to verify.

Sorry, I meant the clothes. Posting while working leads to corner cutting unfortunately.

Depends on how quickly you want it. If you’re willing to take your time then either way would do. Otherwise empty your wallet on it and have it tomorrow.

If they “surrounded” you, they could not all have moved in the same way, else they would have formed some kind of blob next to you. Do you think it is possible that they deliberately tried to troll people and startle them? Sounds like the most plausible explanation to me.

Which is why I said I’m not sure.

Even if it was a bunch of players trying to troll/startle others – in which case, my hat goes off to them because you managed – I find it extremely weird that they’d all use the exact same skills at the exact same time on the exact same target and moved everywhere as if they were a kind of blob.

I’ve seen something similar. Three Rangers travelling as a group through Wayfarer. All were dressed the same, had the same weapons, had the same pets (one guess…) and all harvested the same nodes at the same time. I stalked them for ages trying to figure them out. Then they ran in the Wolfmaster, and this was back when he was a champ and not the chump he is now, and it took them three goes to get him down. I just sat there and watched. The fact the three characters ran out sort of separately from Twinspur made me think it was a guy running three accounts. I don’t think he was doing anything illegal but it can’t have been comfortable playing that way.

NecroN.8306:

This is not a topic for kids.

Why? Homosexuality is a fact of life. It’s probably only a good thing for kids to see adults discussing it in a fairly respectful manner.

Thanks Donari and Behellagh. Sounds like crappy thing. I’m now glad I don’t know what its all about.

I’d love to know what I was doing 4 months ago because I have no memory of anything even remotely resembling this in the game.

Pandaman.4758:

… it would be hilarious to have a variation of this: the Asura Rear-Gunner Backpack.

It would be an asura with a gatling gun (not a minigun, but actual hand-cranked gatling), shooting at anything behind you (but not actually doing any damage) while yelling out random insults. It would be even better if it worked with the aviator’s memory device.

I want this one.

I went back to the Molten Alliance pick thread to have a read since this one reminded me of it. The products are apples and oranges but it was also full of “whaaaa it costs too much for what it is!!” and so on. And now people have too many of that style of thing, much of it probably from gems purchased with cash. I suspect the same thing may happen with these account wide slots.

I’m not not sure about that for 2 reasons.
- You can only buy 5 shared slot.
- ANet refund policy is kittening off the buyer of multiple…..“everything else” that didn’t have a limit.

Maybe, maybe not. Makes no difference to me anyway. I just found it interesting. Though, what people say, especially on the internet, isn’t necessarily what they’ll do.

if i win power ball, i will sue anet to get refund.
they are thinking about just selling gems.
they don’t have a brain.

Or you could buy the company and run it yourself. Wouldn’t that be fun?

You and everyone else

I was lucky enough to get a Permanent Bank and it is definitely the only thing I’ll ever have in the slot. If I didn’t have it I wouldn’t have bought the slot at all.

This is just ridiculous. The items are effectively worthless now, so what are you left to do with them? Destroy them or let them gather dust in the bank in hopes that something happens in the future?

Or option C – keep using them. They still work so if there aren’t any refunds forthcoming then just keep using them. Only a complete idiot would destroy them.

The problem is they’re redundant now.

In my case I have 2 infinite mining picks. One stays with my main character, the other stays in the bank so I can log into whichever character is in a city (or I can send to a city easily) to mine the nodes in my home instance. Sometimes it gets used by alts when they’re out in the world too.

Now I can just keep the 1 infinite mining pick in a shared slot, and I don’t need the second one at all.

It’s the same for people who have 2+ infinite salvage kits. Sure they could keep using them all, but when they do exactly the same thing and 1 can be used by all your characters why would you use others at all?

And I can empathise with that problem, especially the salvage things, but why would anyone destroy something like these when they still work? The tools at least can just sit in their slots and still have a use without being in the way or fiddling around with them.

I don’t want to make any waves here but it just seems a little extreme.

This is basic profit maximization.

Introduce a new shiny at a high price, everyone who will pay that price pays it. When sales drop off, discount it a bit, everyone who will pay the new price buys it. Continue until new shiny is delivered.

I’ll buy mine on sale.

What the kitten, is slot 5 toilet paper?!? No one told me we had access to toilet paper!

His other 19 characters will be pleased, I’d imagine.

Danikat.8537:

To be fair at the current exchange rate 8,000 gems is 1,610 gold, which is less than the permanent bank access is selling for on the TP.

But on the other hand the price leap up last night after the shared inventory slots came out and I’m fully expecting it to drop a lot as the ‘OMG must have!’ crowd get it and more become available. So this would only seem remotely reasonable for a short time.

Edit: Mildly amusing that while typing this I was listening to a song with the lyrics “money money makes the world go round, money money just brings me down”.
(And if you recognise it don’t judge, I have a lot of random crap on my computer.)

I googled it. Watch me not judging…

As for the topic, I wonder how much Anet would actually price this, and the other permanent items. Does the hair one still exist? I can’t imagine they’d be cheap even for people who have no issues dropping 10 US cash bucks on certain items. But you never know.

In the case of male Charr, if their tackle is the same as a cat’s then I doubt anyone will want to have much of a go, inter- or intraspecies, except for female Charr.

(from a physically sexual viewpoint)

TheGrimm.5624:

Ok, too all the people saying this is overpriced I don’t think you get it. Take an alt-o-holic. You have 15 toons. On those you bought 10 CooperFeed Salvage-o-matic and multiple SilverFeed ones. Royal Terrace pass same-thing.

I think the better question, how do you handle the people that did buy multiple of the items since now they are left with a bad customer service transaction since this option wasn’t around before.

It’s kind of ironic; this is a alt-o-holic item that will probably kitten alt-o-holic due refund policy.

Its not going to kitten this altoholic. I only want one that’s for my permanent bank. Done and dusted. I don’t have a salvage thing so I’m not affected there.

Behellagh.1468:

Just a flesh wound.3589:

I bought the set of 5 and put my permanent bank access, copper fed, and 3 permanent harvesting tools in it. Now each of my chars has access to my bank no matter where they are, a copper fed salvage kit of their very own and (If I remember to switch out the tools) they have a set of permanent tools.

I thought it was well worth it for a convenience item and only wished to have another one for my Royal Terrace pass. I never thought we could get this much, certainly not a whole set of 20.

Ty ANet.

Do the gathering tools work from there or do you need to move them into their slots first?

They need to be moved into the tool slots. A double click does it.

It’s active right now lol

Seriously?? You started this when there’s a post at the top of this forum??

…

You can collect everything on anything, unless there’s a level req for maps or something.

Revenants aren’t able to shapeshift at all…
Making a Norn revenant just a bland oversized human.
So how about that tonic suggestion?

Well this bites…and rends and mauls. I’ve only just started off on my Norn revenant and hadn’t noticed. I love using the shapeshifting while levelling.

If you’re good enough you can snatch the dolly babies without killing their mothers. I haven’t killed one in years.

Oh no! Conned again by click bait.

Aedelric.1287:

This is a good move, I hope they eventually roll out more regions and not just Orr.

The place I desperately want to try my glider at is Labyrinthine Cliffs, my fingers are crossed we somehow make our way back to it some time.

I’d just like to glide from the Priory bridge in Lornar’s Pass all the way to the lake. That’s all I need from Core gliding

In the constant zones I would allow pc characters to versus one another (this could maybe be done by clicking on a player nearby and asking if he wants to combat). There could also be rewards for this, or restrictions imposed if you do it without permission. I don’t believe in ‘not allowing’ these things to happen, because that isn’t realistic.

Whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait.

One of your first threads (now deleted) on this forum was complaining about virtual animal rights, how wrong it was that we can kill the innocent animals and they should all be marked green. Now you turn around and say we should be able to gank other players without their permission because it would be realistic?

Ok,

So, say for example you are in a town and I come in and hit you with my sword. Before I am allowed to initiate a second attack, you will be given two choices (perhaps more?) by the computer:

1. Engage in combat. Earn points for each successful hit and for a win.

2. Refuse to engage in combat. You do not earn any points. I am notified of your choice. If I ignore it and attack you again Ascalon guards would come and arrest me and I will be put in jail for a period of time. Perhaps I could also lose some money, who knows. But you won’t be killed or affected by my second hit. Or if you are capable of being killed that would be really funny… I’m sure there’s ways around this to make everyone happy.

3. Complain to the army that you are being hassled. If you were in ‘combat’ mode and you choose this option, you may lose points. I am notified of your choice and delivered a warning from the guards which I had better follow.

Sound good?

Not really. I don’t want some stranger hitting on me.

lol.

Can I used my wand instead?

Keep that in your pants.

I don’t think I’ve seen one yet in the game but since I’m currently playing on a laptop with reduced graphics maybe I have. I nearly picked the recipe up for it yesterday and now maybe I will.

Well, a slight derail won’t hurt this thread – it looked to me like Luke was standing next to an ancient sapling node.

Lindelle.3718:

…and what goes on with female norn icebrood…

There probably aren’t any. If the Sons of Svanir are solely in charge of corrupting Norn then they’ll most likely be killed or just ignored. Eir was threatened with being sacrificed in the Romke’s horn section of the Norn PS.

Nice guys.

Dueling in a private place set up for it, sure.
Inspecting can get kittened.

I’ve often thought that the lost spirits will be part of some sort of storyline, and with LS my thinking has gone with that. The text at the lost spirit shrine in Hoelbrak can be interpreted as they are just lost and not destroyed. I’m pretty sure the text for one of them has been changed to reflect this from when I first started the game.

Or not. I can’t wait to find out when we finally go after Jormag

It’s not terribly original, Tiga. You might want to google Daoc RvR. WvW is a lot like the lower level battlegrounds in Daoc in feel and less like the end game Frontier which was a vast open map.

I think you’ll find that many people considered a “white knight” do have issues with the game and will mention those issues if they come up. They just don’t blither on about them ad nauseam. They’re really more like “grey knights” (which sounds much cooler).

Oooooo grey knights. I like it!

Same. I’m glad I just bought another couple of character slots so I can use it somehow lol

Shotzo.6209:

Mind showing me your build? Im curious now haha

I can’t get to anything right now, sorry. I sort of just fell into it without realising since they were weapon pairings I didn’t use on other of my rangers so nothing is even optimised. Standard sort of traiting to take advantage of the weapons and damage, and I think just adventurer runes. I’m sure you could come up with something (much) better

Yep, that weapon set up works well. I’ve been using it for a while on one of my rangers.

According to the Gw2 chart of what F2p can do this is said

“Trading PostCan buy and sell items from a selected list.”

you may view all their FAQS at:

https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/95982157?_ga=1.193197101.1617053550.1444300724

I don’t need to view any FAQ because I have access to a f2p account and see what it can and cannot do firsthand. You are nitpicking here. Ok, yes, there is a “selected list” of what f2p accounts can sell. I do not know what that list contains and I do not care. Nothing in my inventory is on that list. The list was made to ensure that nobody uses f2p accounts to “farm stuff” and have another account profit from it, and it does its job. You cannot sell anything you obtain from wintersday gifts and botting the JP on a f2p account would be completely wasted time so it is not done, period.

200 Free accounts farm gifts while hacking.

This isn’t astrophysics

Wiki has guild banks being locked to free accounts. Which is correct?
