Legendary Crafting

I’m at about 65% toward’s finishing Kudzu myself. Legendary’s are supposed to be an optional grind, as they are no more powerful than exotic’s. Been working on it for the last 6-7 month’s. It’ll be a long road but well worth it imho.

Mmmmm...Quaggan

Quaggan BBQ sound’s awesome. Cedar wood chip’s would do well, one question though should we marinade them first? Slow cooking over a spit sound’s tastey also. We could also try fried quaggan similar to fried turkey, haven’t tried fried turkey but i’ve been told it’s good. kitten now i’m hungry again.

1. When will we be able to get ascended gear outside of FoTM, wheather by crafting or karma vendor?
2. Is there an alternate set of legendary’s in the work’s? Similar to the light/dark greatswords sunrise and twilight.
3. When will the other activities become available, aka polymock arena?

Better pathing and AI for sure. And pet’s stay next to you not 10 feet away, altough this depends on pet also some stay near you other’s do not.

Actually for dungeon’s i set my pet on passive. Also in dungeon’s I use fern wolf(regen) and blue moa (protection), yes it cut’s my damage down but i help mitigate damage. Rarely are my pet’s ever in melee range (F2 &F3 are my favorite pet button’s.

zippo burntfur.9307

That’s an insane amount of coding and basically a complete rework of the ranger class. It’s a good idea but like you said, it will never happen.

They reworked the Dervish class, and some major aspect’s of the elementalist class in GW1, so I don’t see why they couldn’t do it here if the classes warranted it.

A really fun winterday event overshadowed by really crappy RNG chest’s. After lost shore’s i’m really hesitant to get gem’s. Would much rather be able to buy the skin’s/mini’s from the gem shop not a random gamble.

Getting precursors from the Magic Forge?

in Crafting

Posted by: zippo burntfur.9307

zippo burntfur.9307

Yes there is a small chance of getting precursor from the MF. So if you want to get the rifle precursor, you’d use 4 lvl 70+ rare or exotic rifle’s. Again the chance is really really really small that you’ll get 1. There are many video’s showcasing the low % for precursor “drop” from the MF. But rng is rng, and some dev’s think it’s fun and exciting at times.

You can also buy them in the fractual dungeon. So the chances of temple of balthazar being open are gonna decrease with more people running fractual’s. Personally I haven’t stepped foot into FoTM, but that’s my choice.

Imo the biggest screw up they did was limiting how you could get ascended gear, making running FoTM did not score much imo. If they would have made craftable version’s, and pvp version’s from the get go, I think alot of this firestorm could have been negated or atleast deminished.

9: Good point Nacho. We are currently discussing these particular items and it is fair to say that we don’t want have such big hikes in requirements moving forward.

Why roll it out with such requirements then? Especially when there are reports of players already coming up against the agony mechanic with no infused ascended items and being unable to progress. Did no-one at anet question this?

I don’t think they realized how fast content locust’s can burn through content.

Mistake me if i’m wrong, but doesn’t legendary weapon’s have the same stat/damage value as exotic’s? And if so how is bringing out another tier of gear gonna help? Won’t the same people that say there is nothing to do say the same thing after getting all the new gear?

As far as I know Legendary weapons will be increased in strength so that ascended fits in between them and exotic.

Yeah I know, Legendary’s used to be an optional grind but now if you want BiS gear you need to grind for a legendary…..

Or you could get the ascended weapons? You didn’t “need” to grind legendaries when exotics were the best stats?

True, will probably do that as I don’t much care for the start’s on legendary’s. I run mainly condition damage build’s, so having an ascended weapon that cater’s to that playstyle would be better.

GW2 takes everything you love about GW1...

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: zippo burntfur.9307

zippo burntfur.9307

Stuff I liked about GW1
1. Skill capping, made an awesome endgame activity
2. As other’s have mentioned build wars.
3. Dual class done correctly imho.
4. Hardmode AI, having a grawl healer train you through many melee grawl’s then park by another healer was a fun frustration for me.
5. Storyline, was really good for each campeign.

Stuff I like about GW2
1. Actual character crafting.
2. Graphic’s.
3. Lack of holy trinity.
4. WvW. I don’t spend all my time in there but I find it fun.
5. Actual jumping, don’t use it much but I like being able to jump around being silly.

I tried my best being objective realizing they are different game’s. But with having some amazing talent behind GW2, it just feel’s bland.

I’m also in the very disappointed crowd, I will not try for a refund as I have a sweet charr statue guarding my pc. But i have a very serious question for ArenaNet.

So to ArenaNet after this tornado of negativity the ascended gear and implied gear treadmill. Do you think this move was worth the risk?
