    Can we unlock all of Dragon Decade Weapon skins??

    in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

    Posted · Edited by dippy.8961

    I have 3 characters that turned 10 this week, you only get your first 2 chests for the first character to reach 10 years old; it's an achievement.  You get another one for the first tier of Decade of Dragons achievement.  As far as I can tell, you only get 3, unless I'm missing a legends merchant in game somewhere.

    Feels bad man.

    Living world season 1 episode 3, Scarlet playhouse. Bugged [Merged]

    Today it worked for me, was able to complete the whole story part (and some more achievements). 

    It mostly worked for me as well this morning.  The intro with Rox ran twice; once on approach, and then I talked to her and it ran again.  I waited for it to finish completely before continuing, and it was the only bug I encountered this time.  I was able to get the last two achievements I was aiming for, so now I can avoid it like the plague...lol.

    Several New Skills Don't Snap to Target

    in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

    Posted

    I use the combat option of "Snap Ground Target to Current Target," and I've noticed that it doesn't work for several new skills, including all Spectre wells.  I've read threads where other skills are not snapping to target with this option as well (F2/3 for Willbender).  I can only report on the Spectre wells for certain however, as I main thief and have just finished gearing them up for an alac/condi build.  Hoping this can get fixed.  Thank You!  🙂

    LWS1: missing Southsun Cove story arc

    in Lore

    Posted · Edited by dippy.8961

    I was disappointed with the decision of skipping the Southsun arc only because it's where Canach is introduced.  That arc thoroughly kicked my kitten, so I'm sort of okay with skipping it; I did learn how to use my reflects though!  😆 

    It is however a sad omission for story continuity, as Canach is probably the best NPC in the game (imo), and getting the whole story from a LWS feels better than flashbacks, or a strange one off release.

    Before the steam launch things need to be properly explained - namely the fact that there is content gated by further paywalls beyond the expansion purchase price.

    I keep seeing money enter the equation for LW content, and I think it's disingenuous.  If A-Net really cared about making money off of LW content, they wouldn't have provided it for free to 100's of thousands of players (if not millions; there are around 16.3 million accounts with 310k playing daily).  The little bit of money they get through the gem store for the LW content likely pales in comparison to expansion sales.  If money was really a motivator for this content, then they would have charged all of us for it to begin with.  Bringing in new players through Steam and saying, "Oh, this content that our veteran players got for free, you'll have to pay for in some fashion, and you'll be utterly clueless story wise until you do," is just a kitten move.  They've made it free 2x now, just make it free all around; unlocked with the purchase of the related expansion.

    And? You’re saying that something that’s basically 19 years old should be free. Why does it matter if it’s GW2 versus another game?

    Because this isn't the place to argue about the philosophies of other games.  We're talking about this game.  That's not to mention the number of games that have in fact become free as they've aged, or the slew of 10yo $4 games on Steam that likely only cost $4 to cover the listing fee.  

    I shared an idea.  I didn't say it was a good idea, I didn't say a-net should do it my way or I'll quit.  I offered an opinion of what I think would increase the player base in regards to the LW content.  If you don't like it, move on, if you have something constructive to say, then say it, otherwise go argue in bad faith on reddit.

    So 10 year old games should be basically free too?

    We're talking about GW2, not old games, though over in reddit I'm sure a case could be made for the rest of them, along with links to free emulators.  For GW2, the core game went free to play only 3 years after launch, so why not follow suite for some of the older content?  The value has to have deprecated by now, and the LW seasons contain important story arcs.  Why is the Commander so mad at Caithe in the beginning of HoT for example?  If you don't have LW2, you have no clue what's going on (and that's not to mention the LW1 gap that's being fixed right now).

    So you want them to sell standard editions core 65  bucks, hot 65 buck, pof 35 bucks and EoD 35 bucks

    And that way you get all the living stories up to date?

    Im not sure the people that will have to do this agree with you mate.

    I don't know why HoT would cost more for less content in your math, but no, that's not what I'm saying at all.  I'm saying LW1 & 2 are almost a decade old, and they should flat out be free by this point.  Since you can't just buy HoT anymore, if enough money hasn't been made on the free content per "player's time", bring the price of HoT/PoF, plus all associated LW seasons (3, 4, 5), up to $45.  If that's not an option, then bundle the LW content into a $30-35 package.  Continuing to have the content locked behind the gem store has, and will push people away from it, for what ever their reasoning is.

    Aurene Infusion

    Considering Aurene, you would definitively get Filtered Out from my field of view forevermore.
    The Confetti, Chak Queen Bees and Phosphorescent Infusions are already bad as it is.


    I'm okay with that.  I want to see Me as an actual dragon champion, infused with Aurene's magic, I don't care if anyone else sees it.  🙂

    Zip Line Recharging Cool Down?

    Have you tried using a different zip line?

    I did - no change.

    Quick update: Paid attention today and the zipline cooldown seemed to be only 2-3 minutes, vs the 5 minutes that the wiki states for batteries.

    Yeah - I discovered the same thing.  It's just odd, because I swear there wasn't a cool down when I first unlocked it.  <shrug> Oh well.  Thank you for the sounding board and investigation.

    Zip Line Recharging Cool Down?

    in End of Dragons Discussion (Archived)

    Posted

    When I first got zip line recharging (Energy Efficiency mastery), I was able to hop a zip line, get 4 charges, use 'em, and then I thought I could hop on the zip line again right after to charge back up (maybe not; could be crazy).  Doesn't appear I can do that anymore.  Was a cool down added without being noted?  Was it noted and I missed it?  If so, anyone know the cool down?  I'm in New Kain if that changes anything.

    I don't know why a cool down would be necessary with the number of batteries scattered about, but there's all kinds of strange decisions going on over at ANet, so who knows...<shrug>

    You Only Get the Skins Once? Really?

    in End of Dragons Discussion (Archived)

    Posted

    For the first play through of the EoD story, you get to pick a weight class of Canthan armor skin.  I was like, "Cool!  Instead of getting rare armor that I'll just salvage for the skin, they're just giving us skins; I can't wait to play through again and get the other weights."  Silly me for thinking that we'd be able to play through for the other weight sets like expansions past.  Are we being punished?  It feels like we're being punished.  The rewards for this expac just feel...lacking.

    Jade Vault Achievement NPC bugged [Merged]

    Same - and as it was the first statuette I received.  Since I couldn't give it to her, I figured I could sell it.  It wasn't until receiving two more that I checked the achievement progress, and saw that I had to turn them in.  Turned in the two, saw that I was supposed to turn in the first one I got as well (third in list "Jade Empress Statuette"), so bought it off TP, and still can't turn it in.  -_-
