Hitman.5829 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I cannot believe that after 7 years of GW2 we still have no idea what a recipe does until you purchase it and go find out what the recipe does. (yes I can check wiki to see what others have discovered, but that is not the professional way to do things in game). The professional way is to have a code that tells you what the new recipe does and it should show you what you are crafting before you buy it.Also, was the new recipe "Recipe: Rune of Fireworks" added to the game on this patch or is it an old recipe?We need full disclosure on the new recipes that are being added to the game on the patch notes please.

I don’t expect the grocery store to educate me on what an avocado is. As for the rune, did you even try to search the TP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gehenna.3625 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 This game has a ton of stuff that is not explained and I find myself running into things all the time that I didn't know existed. To be fair, the wiki is far from complete or even correct in some cases. So I do have to agree with the OP that the game is not very self-explanatory and they don't offer any support themselves other than the option to put stuff on a wiki, which they don't update themselves.

When you buy something from (in-game) store, you should also be expecting to know what you're buying. I see no difference here whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bad design concept of the game, for sure, but it doesn't look like ANet is going to change anything about it - it would take a kittenload of time to do that in hindsight for everything. Let alone the lack of in-game tutorials for basic game mechanics like CC, crafting, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not on the store to explain to you what that happens to be. Also, there’s a command in game that will help:/wiki (insert item name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Pj.2193 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Discovery is half the fun. I miss the old single player RPGs when you had to find secret walls, passages etc. I still look in new areas to this day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
