Free Trials

So I have a couple of buddies that are looking for a game to play (other than LoL). They’re looking for something they can try for free before they purchase it for full price. I would like to be able to get them a free trial for gw2 since it is such an awesome game, but there is no way that I know of for them to try it first. Does anyone know of a way a friend or two can get on the game to try it? Most MMOs have a trial system, I’m surprised A-net doesn’t.

That being said, armor would be cool, isn’t gonna happen sadly.

Yet.

They make too much money from gems store armor skins. It won’t happen for a very, very long time, as it would kill too much gem transactions.

They make weapon skins to though…

Legendary Armor

Do you know how to make a legendary weapon? Depending on which weapon it is you need two crafts, you farm up all the mats you make 1 recipe per craft, and then you throw those crafted items in the mystic forge to get the legendary (plus precursor). While a lot of weapons need weapon smith several need armor smith as well. So weapon smiths don’t really have an advantage other than the choice of weapons they can make/sell. Legendary armor sounds cool, but it shouldn’t be focused on armor smithing/tailoring/leatherworking anymore than the current weapons are focused on artificer/weapon smith/huntsman. (All weapons need at least one of those, so the armor could use at least one of the armor crafting as well, but shouldn’t exclude jewelers and cooks.)

You just made my point, there should not be anymore focus on armor smithing/tailoring/leatherworking than artificer/weapon smith/huntsman. My point is that there is too much focus on weapon smith and huntsman because they can make legendary weapons that they can either use or sell for loads of gold. I’m not sure, but I think the point you were trying to make is that weapon smiths need components from armor smiths? If that is true, armor smiths still do not make anywhere near as much gold from their best armor. My point is there is too much focus on crafting weapons because A-net hasn’t made legendary armor yet.

So I’m pretty bummed out right now. I really like being an armor smith in mmo’s because I like how different armor sets look. So, it is pretty lame that arena net only made legendary weapons, but not craft able legendary armor. I’m level 80 and and have no use for my profession anymore, with the time required to get mats and sell exotic on the TP, its more worth my time to farm for mats and ectos and sell that on the TP. Weapon smiths can make legendary weapons that they sell on the trading post for TONS of gold if anyone buys them(It’s like enough to retire from in IRL). It just seems strange. Is A-net working on legendary armor sets right now, or are they just going to stick with weapons?

Event Satisfaction Survey

in The Lost Shores

1) Graphics (1 Bad – 10 Amazing) – 8
2) Sound (1 Bad – 10 Amazing) – 7
3) Story Concept / Originality (1 Boring – 10 Captivating) –8 (loved bringing old fortifications and camps back)
4) Loot/Reward (1-Lost all my money…10-Gained amazing items) – 1 (not really a lot of loot, almost never got any from the vet karka egg layers and when i got loot, it was junk.
5) Stability (1 Extremely Buggy – 10 No Bugs) – 6
6) Network Connection / Speed (1 Laggy / D/Cs – 10 Perfect Connection) –7
7) Mini-Events Length (1 Too Short / Long – 10 Just Right) –8
8) Overall Event Length (1 Too Short / Long – 10 Just Right) – 4
9) Overall Satisfaction (1 Worst Experience Ever – 10 Best Experience Ever) – 3

The loot was unsatisfactory, I felt like I wasted my time as far as getting loot goes. There were no gear specific to the event, and 90% of the loot I got was vendor trash. It did feel like we were changing the island when it was introduced, which was awesome, but there isn’t any reason to go back. There aren’t events like Orr, where there there are long quest chains that end with a karma vendor or extremely rare crafting components. The rich Ori ore is the only reason to go back.

Losing Loot

No there isn’t a problem with the the window.Now it’s your problem that you clicked it.
Normally i always wait before pressing yes.I loot the chest,i sort the bags and when i’m certain that i have everything then i press.This is how you should do it too.

It showed up in the middle of the screen just as i was clicking on something in my bag. I mentioned clicking yes was an accident, obviously I didnt do this on purpose, the point of the post was to display how easy it is to accidentally click yes. I also mentioned it would be nice if the group could travel back to the lab without having to wait for one person to finish sorting through their bags so they can get their loot.

Has anyone ever lost out on some good loot from Fractals yet?
My group just finished the swampland fractal, my bags were full and I was sorting through and deleting, but I accidentaly clicked yes on ready to teleport. I rushed to the chest to loot but there was so much blue and green item loot that my bags were full and I didnt get all the loot before teleporting through, the last item i didnt loot was an Onyx lodestone, which drove me crazy. I teleported through and had no way of going back to get my lodestone. Does anyone agree there is a problem with that. The teleport screen comes up immediately, in front of everything, its easy to click and lose out on loot. I think they should have the loot carry over, so if you teleport out, you dont lose it. That way everyone is back at the lab, not waiting for one guy to empty his bags and that one guy still gets his loot. Win Win. anyone agree with this theory or am I crazy.

I want my lodestone!
