Who deserves to be rich?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: zaybug.9284

zaybug.9284

People that find an opportunity and take advantage of it. People that find the most profitable play style and consistently use it.

Like in real life, the rich either are better at finding opportunities then you are or are willing to work at something that may not be the most “fun” job in their eyes.

This is a big deal. Legendary items are the most expensive items in game. The only reason to create / buy 2 of them is because they were soulbound to a character.

When they made unlimited harvesting tools account bound, they made compensation for players that purchased more than 1. It cost less than 100 gold to convert to gems to get the unlimited harvesting items.

A legendary cost as much at 16-20 harvesting tools, so it is not unreasonable to expect similar compensation.

[Constructive] Whole-map event vs. Zerg & AFK

•To discourage zerging in both miasma and escort events, scaling must be made VERY steep. That means that a miasma event should be extremely easily done with 5 players (even the Molten one), however 20 players in the infamous “children escort” would spawn so many champs that they would wipe all these players in 10 seconds (and supposedly despawn after some time).

How is this NOT forcing people to play the way you want?

There are multiple different events on this Map. It sounds like saving the citizens is the one you put priority on and feel that others should feel the same way you do.

I see it differently
100 people enter orr, I get a pop up box that Arah is being taken by undead. Although there are many different events going on, and people in Orr to get map completion and maybe the daily jumping puzzle, because I think Arah is more important I think ANET should not allow the other people to play the events they want, they should be doing the one I want.

Your argument is exactly the “play the way I want you to play” one we hear soo much. When you say discourage zergs, you are saying that your preference has a greater priority than the 50-60 people having fun in the zerg.

You have to face the fact that the citizen event can be completed with 30-40 people working on saving them (as the other events give credit for citizen saves). If you cannot find 30-40 people wanting to do that part of the quest, you expect it to be forced on them so you can play the way you want.

This fits in really well with the heirloom rewards. They just made one mistake.

Horns should only be earned for fighting mobs, and letting the citizens fend for themselves and die.

Halo should be earned for saving citizens (and giving up the loot that comes with the mobs)

Certain servers dead/lacking activity?

Try guesting to one of the “very high” servers and take a look at the difference. It may cause you to pony up to get the gems for a move.

TC is a very active PVE server with a strong WVW. Blackgate is as well.

Globs of Dark Matter

Look for specific Runes / Sigils that sell for 2-11 gold. You will find that the exotics that have these sell for near the same price or sometimes less.

Buy the exotics that have sellable Sigil’s / Runes and salvage them with BLSK. Place a buy offer for 15% less than you plan to sell the rune / sigil for and you will get all the globs of dark matter you need for the price of one kit use.

The sad truth about Rangers....

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: zaybug.9284

zaybug.9284

I usually go S/W and switch between GS and LB depending on the situation. Once you become so familiar with the ranger its actually a fun class to play. Most ppl hate rangers since rangers are exceptionally hard to learn to play.I’m a believer of skill not a believer of classes, i’m so familiar with my ranger that i rarely die in PvE (and even in WvW) unless I’m being surround by 5+ Vet Mobs or Sheer amounts of AoE. Its very hard to die in PvE situations as the ranger pet heal on down function is pretty OP. Also I believe it is possible to stow the pet as long as you put it flee mode.

No the reason I hate most rangers is because they don’t even try to play better. Camping longbow at 1500 range is inexcusable in any situation.

You obviously haven’t played Mark 2 golem since the update then. Longbow at 1500 range is OP in this scenario.

DARK MATTER

in Crafting

Posted by: zaybug.9284

zaybug.9284

You can get your dark matter basically free if you have mystic salvage kits.

Look on the TP for items with high demand runes (travelers, divinity, etc). Look at the price the rune is selling for and search for ANY level of exotic armor that has the rune.

As long as you can buy the armor for 15% less than the selling price of the rune, you will get free chances at your dark matter.

So sure, yeah, total sense that the Centaur would ignore a larger, more dangerous and more aggressive Krait threat.

How is one tower with some strange magic populated by a faction of krait and a faction of the Nightmare Court a larger threat than an entire human kingdom with a professional army? The centaurs were already afraid that they would be destroyed because of the human-charr cease fire and peace treaty would allow the humans to turn more force towards the centaurs. So what if the Toxic Alliance hates the centaurs?

Because this zone was dead and the Centaur had all but won until the krait showed up. Humans had moved on to greener pastures (i’m looking at you queensdale)

If you are in combat, even if you don’t get hit, all levels of harvesting tools have a chance to produce ruined materials.

I was having the same issue but found it resolved by making sure I was out of combat before starting to harvest.

I leveled my first few characters by hitting all the low level zones first and completing each zone for the 100% reward. You open all the low level world boss WP’s this way. Then move on to all the second tier zones. Mid level crafting mats will be a good income while leveling in the low mid to mid level zones.

This is horrible advice. You’re basically telling people to pay 60 silver for a yellow.

Source: I just went and did it with a ton.

Sprockets were selling at 16c each for a very long time, 30 of them cost approx. kitten

I was paying 34.5 silver per box, and opened a few thousand myself. Any Staff / Greatsword went on TP for a profit, all else was salvaged.

Approximatly 1 in 20 gave me an exotic. This was VERY profitable for a while (but a LOT of clicking)

Now hoping the 100k Sprockets I bought go up!

AOE loot is 900 range, you don’t have to run to nothing

taking damage every 1-2 minutes will stop you from getting logged. as will the system recognizing you hitting the autoloot key

With a macro that would press aoe loot every 2 minutes I could sit in a spot forever.

This could be very easily exploited. My ranger can sit in ORR where a single mob spawns and have the pet take the mob down. with the autoloot, I can sit there all night, have my pet do all the killing and reap all the rewards.

How is this not exploiting?

WVW Achievement line ~ Suggestion

in WvW

Posted by: zaybug.9284

zaybug.9284

Was thinking about WVW achievements and thought of one line I would really like to see.

Along the lines of the Slayer achievements

Tiers for killing 1000 of each professions with specific titles. i.e.

Kill 1000 Ranger
Title Ranger Slayer

and once all WVW / PVP slayer achievements are completed a new title such as

Indiscriminate Killer
or
Kill them all

Thoughts?

CoF Inflation

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: zaybug.9284

zaybug.9284

There is conflicting info in your statement.

If people have been doing this for ages, you would expect that a gradual inflation would have been occurring all along. The prices for most items on the TP have been keeping relatively steady and going down on some items (looking at you dust).

Your assumption that things will continue to get more expensive is not supported by historical prices.

As people are running CoF over and over for ~10 gold an hour for ages now, isn’t about time ANet shutdown this farming already?

I see only a ton of inflation coming out it. Am I wrong? Doesn’t even make up for the lower prices of some stones while everything else gets more expensive for people who just play the game normally (that includes the occasional farmer).

Multiple Ways to Gain Money

Undercutting by .01 is VERY prevalent in the real world. Go take a look at amazon. Many 3rd party sellers have software that is constantly checking their listings and lowering the price by .01 (until they hit the bottom limit they set within the software). They do this because it works.

The TP is about turning your items into gold. Just as in real life, some will be good at it and balance between waiting for the right price or turning quickly. Others will never learn.

Only 1 of the 3 dragons in the game is in a level 80 zone. If you want a bit more challange do the temples in orr. Those are a bit more of a challange and more what I consider end game content.

The way they are now, the dragons are oversized pinata’s.

The key word when you buy items in-game is…

UNIQUE

If you see that, just as in any MMORPG, or RPG, it means that you can only have one equipped and no more.

I played Diablo 2 for a few years, I recall having a few Unique SOJ’s on me at all times. It does not mean the same thing in all games. Kind of a tough lesson to learn here.
