Honestly, saying that something in ESO is handled better than in GW2, and for it to be cash shop related, is not something I ever expected to do.

Well in eso, if you get duplicate item, you can turn it to gem.  and gem can be trade for anything from lootbox..

 

in GW2, you get statuette as separate drop, duplicate can be sold on trading post for gold.. stuff will get listed for statuette 6~x month later.

I sent a message to Anet stating that the drop chance of the Jade Tech Wings is unacceptable , their response was, in essence "Buy more Keys" what the hell Anet? I have opened SEVENTY FIVE Black Lion Chests and no glider, I mention this in my guild and somebody tells me that they just got it with a FREE KEY! How am I supposed to feel in this situation if not justifiably angry? Had  gotten the glider from the 75th key I might wish it had dropped sooner but I'd frankly be glad to have it. instead I'm out a pretty decent chunk of cash and all I got for it is a pretty crappy Ice Reaver staff skin.

Even Zenimax has a better chest system than this, ZENIMAX, where items from the chests can be converted into a currency and then used to purchase the item in the chest you were hoping for when you have enough and haven't managed to get it. I didn't expect to be given the glider, I even stated as much in the message, but to get a response that can be summed up as just keep paying for keys and hope for the best? that's just not the right way to respond here. Honestly at this point I'm curious if there's a way to put a block on my account to stop any future gem purchases because I frankly don't think you deserve my money.

 

rant over.

 

you and me both, my friend.  best bet seem to be wait for it to get listed for black lion statuette..

Sorry to disappoint, but I am a day one GW1 veteran as well, and EoD has zero in common with Guild Wars: Factions, as has PoF with Guild Wars: Nightfall or the Guild Wars 2 core game with Guild Wars: Prophecies.

I wish it was different, but these are two different games. I stopped playing GW2 for three years after release because it was nothing like GW1, and only gave it another shot once I had put enough distance between myself and GW1.

Everything that screams "lore" in GW2 is mostly just related by name: people, locations. EoD did spark a glimpse of nostalgia lore-wise, but the feel was nothing like GW1's Cantha.

Thats sad...i just get my hope up QQ

I have not met a single player for whom this is true.

Look, people need to make precise distinctions between all the elements of an expansion. I got flamed for criticizing the jade-tech (and its color) pre-release -- but when I see the amount of whining about tons of other stuff now, I'm kind of waiting for an apology. 😉

For some people, there is only black and white and no grey in between. As you yourself stated correctly, one can like certain elements and dislike others. The final verdict depends on which side weighs heavier in one's personal opinion. And overall, I really love this expac, though I stand by the things I find subpar.

 

i have meet this kind of player.. they were veteran from gw1.. They are absolutely in love with Cantha.. i tried to talk to them.. but all they are saying is "you must play gw1 to understand the lore in gw2"...

 

when gw1 series get large discount.. i might give it a shot..

[Fractals are ruined by AR]

Personally i think they should rework the system.  Maybe complese each fractal will earn account wide AR.  Doesn't have to be too much.  Matbe 1 AR per fractal level.   In the end after you complete all fractal new character only need 50 AR to run T4

I doubt we're gonna get anything for free from anet, but meh, would be nice to get an account wide equipment tab. I mean there's 3 elites, 2 equipment tabs, seems unfair... But whatever, there's more pressing matters for Anet to fix.

I meant i would dedicate one of my tabs (and you get 2 by default), to fishing. Cause why not, but not everyone has to, it's just an idea.

Besides, Anet can make it if they want to add fishing runes, that you slot them in your fishing rod if they want to. 

And i doubt it would make things trivial, or at least, more trivial than fishing already is. 

It's supposed to be a chill activity, not a beetle race or Dragon's end meta. 😉 

What do you mean by "required" fishing power? You know you can go way higher than that right? I managed to get mine to 825% and i think higher, an there was still some fish that i had to fight with. 

Besides, wouldn't it be great if you could get stuff on your runes like if the 6th rune power adds "fishing always counts as night time" so you can fish for night fishes without having to wait for night time, or another set could have maybe teleporting jade tech and "chance to catch a fish from another region". Fun stuff like that. 🙂

I mean, the goal is to make fishing more trivial, not less, fishing runes could be a part of that.

I doubt anyone wants to stress by fishing in this game, so easier fishing = better.

 

But let's wait for Anet to fix the important stuff like the Dragon's End meta and few elites, and tons of bugs in EoD...

Fishing is already chill enough, any more chillness can wait. 😛 

 

Yes, you would dedicate one tab.  but you are asking Rune to be implemented...right?  would you consider the majority of player?  or as long as you are fine with dedicate one equipment tab.. everyone else doesn't matter??  i thought you mean, you don't mind..so does majority of player..

 

Also when i said required.. you need 750 fishing power to fish in the hardest fishing hole in game.. yea you can go up to 250 more with skiff mastery.. but that is not always realistic when you are just random fishing..

You're now massively misquoting what i said. 

When did i say anyone has to buy one or that anet should give us an equipment tab for fishing? 

They should have given us one for each character with the coming of the third elite spec, that's for sure, but i never said someone should buy an equipment tab just so they could go fishing, what are you talking about?

am fine with one account wide equipment tab.. can't expect too much.. can we?

 

"but if they made the runes go into standard armor, i would totally dedicate one tab to fishing, or swap my runes out whenever i go fish. "

 

The quote above is where i get the idea.. please do note that not everyone have legendary set.  at least i don't.. btw where do you expect rune to go then? if not armour?   also how would implementing rune not making other thing trivialize?

 

current fishing power required 750

skiff (1 catch)     50

mastery             100

food                   150

nourished         100

fishing tip           50

fishing rod          25

lure                    100

bait                    100(150)

--------------------------------------

total                   675(725)

 

there is very little room for extra fishing power.  would you still consider a set of five rune that only grant 25~50 fishing power worthwhile?

Then why do you need permanent lures if you don't need the numbered ones even?

You'd be surprised how much of an actual money sink this is when you account for tens of thousands of players buying 6 silver lures each 100 fish catches. 😉 

But saying, "i don't need lure, but give me a permanent one" is you basically saying you want something for nothing. You pretend it doesn't have value to you when it clearly does, you want to NOT pay those 6 silver. But you say you don't need it and that 6 silver isn't much. Then don't use the lure, problem solved, then you don't need the permanent one! 

 

And i mean, ok, it's no skin off my back if they just give everyone the lure, i'll use it. But your argument is kinda silly...

 

And you can't skip bait cause some fish require certain bait to catch. And certain time of day.

 

And no, didn't mean equipment tab, it's under the hero panel with everything else. I meant, if they do runes, they can go there, but if they made the runes go into standard armor, i would totally dedicate one tab to fishing, or swap my runes out whenever i go fish.

i want perm lure, because its take up too much bag space. i have 30+ space dedicate to fishing..yet it just fill up my bag.  i do need room for junk and fish..

 

am not saying they should give perm lure because people don't need it. am just saying, by making those runes they also make some other stuff meaningless.  or it may be the skiff.. people no longer need to group up for fishing.

 

yes, some fish require speicific bait. but am really talking about random fishing, not doing it for achievement.

 

so you are saying because you want rune, they should hand out a equipment tab to everyone for fishing?  or are you willing to buy one for every character you care to do fishing with. and everyone else should also do so?  quite silly, wouldn't you say?

I think OP meant aboard as driving, and that skiff skill. But i meant more because of the fishing power increase. I'd buy those.

It's a money sink, if you only had to get it once, then it wouldn't have the intended effect now, would it? It's a game, doesn't have to be super realistic.

There's already a tab for fishing, the runes could go there. Also, yes, i would. That's what legendary armor is for. Maybe it would incentivize more people to get the armor, or if anet would make account bound equipment slots, i'm sure people would buy those and get a fishing set going... 

You might have not realuze this...but we don't need a bait to fishing.  Bait simply add fishing power.  Currently thestbhighest fishing power we need is about 750.

 

If they introduce a set of fishing rune.  Am sure alot of people would just skip bait.  There is currently 12 type of bait.  And they goes in stack of 25.  Really annoying to have to change bait every once a while..  

 

As of money sink...bait cost like 6 silver per 100...its more of a trouble and inventory management then a gold sink... 

 

P.s. fishing tab is an actual equipment tab?   Can youn confirm thid?  I have serveral equipment set each with different visual. Yet i never find my look change while fishing..

A rune set for fishing sound actually nice, and permanent lures sound like a bad idea... 

 

But to each their own.

 

OP, report this in the bug section, that's not the i tended behaviour, even if the anchor is an elite technically.

Not sure about you..i rarely fight on skiff... Usually i had to jump in the water....

 

As of the bait.. Well we are using a bait and a lure at the same timr.. If the fish consumed our wood/metal/jade lurr.. Am pretty surr they shoudn't have the time to eaten our bait...

 

P.s.  would you really dedicate a equipment tab just for fishing?

30+ alt player here.

 

I'm against this, jade bot core is an extra stat boost, you can easily get 1k health alongside all bot funcionalities for 1-2g for each alt. Core Lv 10 is entirely optional just for another 1.3k health boost, if you think you need that health to survive then either gear more vit on your armor or simply gitgud.

This is like complaining non legendary trinkets/gear isn't shared automatically through all your alts. I would also complain my +5 Stat infusions arent shared accountwide. Or anet should remove the vit bonus and add something trivial like magic find/gold gain etc on these core lv if peopel insist the jade bot system is unfair.

Why not stick to t1 core if you don't care??  I assume you are undefeated world champion in raid, fractal, pvp and wvw.

You don’t need the level 10 cores to access the the core features of the jade bot which was an issue the OP brought up in the last paragraph of their post. 

For the service chips, you only need to use the level 6 power modules. 

The level 10 cores are only for the additional vitality stats which isn’t needed. It’s a difference of 60 vitality which equates to around 600 health if I’m remembering correctly. 

If someone can equip 80 characters then they can certainly pay small amount of gold to equip the power cores and upgrades. It’s no different than any other equipment or gathering tool slot.
