  1. Hi!I'm the guild leader of the mainly EU based [EZ] Put Garbage In Get Garbage OutWe have a nice section of EU players already (but hey if you're EU and you really want to join hit us up) but we're kind of really happy with where we are at the moment EU wise.What we're looking for is people for our NA segmentWe have 5? AMAZING NA members (not all physically in guild) some are discord only members (no guild slot? no problem) and we're looking for more to keep these people happy

    EZ is mainly a player-designed events guild. We have Discord events (the past ones being FL Man Libs- a mad libs game based on unrevealed-until-the-end-of the-round FL Man headlines, and a special Corona Virus event where we had our members pick movie titles and pick a noun from it which we replaced with an event related word(s), which ended up being TP or toilet paper) the sole purpose of these events are to give away phat lewt and prizes that I farm alongside with my officers and some donations.

    At Halloween we have annual (started last year with the guild) Halloween contests and "Spooky" Scavenger Hunts (all of which you can go back and see how they happened if you join our Trash Cant discord) top prizes for each event were Mad Moon and The Crossing but we're hoping to up the ante this year value wise, as well as throw in some really expensive unexpected prizes that you won't know how to aim for. A majority of the events have prizes plus participation prizes for everyone, and those are usually nothing to sneeze at. And almost always everything comes with a humorous messages. So far the guildies have been loving it! I'll try to coerce them to come here and post.

    We don't raid, but we do strike on the EU side occasionally, and I'm sure we could get something together on the NA side. I craft ascended foods of all types which is available not upon invite, but upon first promotion-which is earned by interacting with the guild. The guild's wvw siege & upgrades would also be available to you at this time as well. CONTACT IG: Fremtid.3528 or Muxykillin.7036 or Discord my officer Karron (he's charr, rawr) at: KarronRobert#9350 or Stuffles on Discord at stuffles#1113

    Use this item to teleport to a party member's location.One-hour cooldown. Can only be used by characters level 10 or greater.— In-game description

    From the Wiki (and in-game).

    Yes but if the cooldown stops when you log off a 1 hour cool down could very well be weeks cool down. So I feel like there needs to be some new clarification on the item before people buy it.

    @TheQuickFox.3826 said:This is normal and intended. On the other side, things like boosters also stop their countdown timer when you log off, allowing you to actually use them instead of letting them go to waste when you exit your game for something else.

    Thank you for this info, definitely getting a refund on both.

  3. I bought the recharging teleport to friends for two alt accounts as they didn't have a ton built up like my main and I noticed when I logged on this afternoon that they hadn't recharged but still had 45 mins left, so apparently they only recharge while you're online, is this a bug or normal? Because if this is working as intended I'm obviously going to submit a request for refund because I can't sit on alts for an hour waiting for my teleport to friend to recharge every time i use it.

  4. I mean yeah they removed the soulbeast buffs everyone complained about butBarrage: Reduced recharge from 30 second to 20 seconds. Lowered cripple duration from 1.5 seconds to 1 second. Increased damage by 25%. Damage floaters for this skill now show total damage instead of damage per hit. lullowered sic em dmg by 15% and increased barrage dmg by 25% THNX ANEToh and decreased barrage recast by 10 secs too :smile:

    InB4 Everyone is complaining about ranger AGAIN in a few weeks/months. lol

  5. Wow I had no idea guilds ran lottos and kept some of the proceeds. I ran a lotto in one guild where we gave the entire pot to the winner. I mean a lotto run similarly to a real life lotto (where the organization keeps some of the money) seems like a scam to me. I know you need money to run as a guild but people should donate to your guild because they genuinely enjoy your guild not because they hope of winning some big amount of money, gaining gold for decorations and building you hall that way just breeds bad blood imho. A guild shouldn't profit from activities it throws for its members. That's shady.

    @Faaris.8013 said:Sorry, I rarely log onto these forums anymore, but I have to say something valuable and of importance:

    This company again proved itself to be incapable of launching a new episode.

    It's the same error over and over again, with every new episode. You enter the very first instance and get disconnected. Then you cannot log in with that account anymore. One would think after making the same mistakes 3 or 4 times, something will change, but it doesn't.

    Maybe don't make big announcements and hype players up if you cannot deliver.

    In their defense, they launched 8 LW2, 6 LW3, and 2 LW4 episodes without much issue. Last patch they got aggressive with a really intricate instance that the servers couldn't handle and was missed in internal testing since it only appeared at scale. I don't know what the issue is with this patch, but clearly from last episode they're trying to max out what they can do with the engine, which isn't a bad thing if they could scale it to all players.

    I don't know what you're talking about...bloodstone fen was a nightmare on patch day. So much so that I refused to play the LS after that on patch day.

    @moonboi.1764 said:I’m slowly trying to fill my home instance. Any kind soul looking to gift. Anything for home instance, nodes, plots etc. anything for home instance would be amazing. NA.

    PS I love this thread, and appreciate everyone that gifts/helps other.

    It'd be helpful if you said what you already have.... ^.^

    Honestly anything for home would help, especially since I’m trying to level crafting but my poor self is slow going. So I’m trying to farm SW.

    There's living story 1 nodes that can't be gifted that you can buy for 25 laurels (at the laurel vendor) and 15 gold, or you can buy them for festival tokens at the festival vendor in divinty's reach or sonder the seller in lion's arch. If you didn't do the summer festival, that's ok, if you don't mind waiting til next year and would rather save the gold you can farm them then. The nodes include: candy corn node, watchwork sprocket, krait obelisk shard, and a quartz node! Meanwhile, I'll look into getting you something but no promises though.

  8. @Illconceived Was Na.9781 said:Every 28 days (from login rewards), you get 20 mystic coins, for free. In a year, that's 260 m-coins, enough to make a legendary weapon.

    You can get additional mystic coins without spending your own resources in a variety of ways:

    • Using 35 (or 55) laurels per month (also from login rewards), buy Light Crafting bags, and sell the contents, using the funds to purchase m-coins. That yields 19-20 (or 30-31).
    • From WvW Skirmish rewards (2 from gold tier, 4 from diamond).
    • Daily anomaly (1).
    • 1-5 from Daily Automated Tournaments (PvP)

    And of course, farming gold.

    FYI If you were planning on investing your paycheck to supplement your in-game coin, purchasing a secondary account for US$30 (retail) might be a better deal. Currently, that would get you around 400 gold at the in-game gem exchange. You get about 45 gold/28-days from login rewards, so your secondary account would generate a minimum of that 400 gold in about 9 months. (Quicker, if you also spend 5-10 minutes some days doing dailies.)


    The reason ANet generates the bulk of coins from login rewards is to help transfer wealth from the richest to the poorest. A limited number of coins means the price remains at a value worth selling, so those with gold end but insufficient m-coins are willing to pay those who have excess m-coins and want more gold. (Plus, it helps sink gold from the economy.)

    Additionally, m-coins are one of the few 'stable' markets that feed into legendary gear. The prices of all other typical mats have dropped, while m-coins are roughly stable (up a bit).

    In short, there's no economic or game play reason for ANet to change course at this point.

    Don't forget daily mystic forger on occasion!

  9. Like others I don't want to jump the queue, ticket # 6922688 I recently changed my login emails and my gem purchase emails are going to the old email that I'm going to lose soon (because its tied to my old cable service) I'm just making sure that's not something to worry about before I lose that email. Just making sure my ticket wasn't closed on sight, it's been 6 days.

    @Fremtid.3528 said:My friend who is capped on luck and I frequently build guild halls together and just recently he drained all his luck donating to a hall I'm currently building. No one is to blame for chars and chars filled with exotic luck that you "can't use" where the luck sits useless because you store it and choose not to donate it somewhere because you think anet will add some use for luck that will make you rich later or will benefit you somehow except you. This is a choice you're making. Meanwhile people who aren't capped on luck fall farther on farther behind trying to cap their luck and have to donate luck that could've contributed to their magic find because a large majority of people who ARE capped on it choose to hoard it instead of donating it.

    I would wager a large number of those who are capped on luck are also parts of guilds that are done with upgrades that require Luck. So, no, that's still not a use for all of this unusable luck.

    Definitely this.Also in order to have all the guild halls your guild has to split between different guilds, each with a different guild hall.

    Currently we do have 5 guild slots, and most of the players have 3 for the main guild and 2 free ( storage guilds or different guilds ).

    After double-checking the amounts required, any given upgrade (aside from further exploration) only requires a couple days worth of my average luck gain. So, once I hit cap, I can play for a week and supply all of the luck needed for a guild, shy of the Further Exploration upgrade (which would take me most of a month on my average play). Talk about a short-term solution.

    That's one person, playing semi-casually for 1-2 hours a day. Not a guild, but one person.

    umm what exactly do you do to earn so much exotic luck in 1-2 hours of gameplay a day? I just had space for 984 exotic luck and that was just for the further exploration upgrade (777), hero banner (100 or so i think) and one of the tavern upgrades, there's at least one or two others which I've already done which he's donated for before I think but what do you do where you earn almost 1000 exotic luck in LESS than a month? Given that you only play 1-2 hours a day "semi-casually". Coz it sounds to me like all you're doing is grinding silverwastes and salvaging what you get in your bags for the whole 1-2 hours. I can tell you I find your semi-casual claim pretty hard to swallow. Just coz you don't run a meta build while you grind silverwaste doesn't make you semi-casual. My friend opened tons of new years envelopes last year, but supplied several guilds with their further exploration luck (he just joined, deposited, and left) and he still ran out after this last guild. Now granted, he hasn't had time to play everyday like you since end of summer last year but I'm willing to bet you also didn't open as many lucky envelopes as he did either given you're capped on luck. (And he's been capped on luck since luck release because he was doing a luck salvage droprate thingy).

    I can get about half of the 77 exotic luck just from running a meta event cycle in Istan. I'm trying to farm up the volatile magic, so all the unidentified gear drops is just extra materials to me (though not unwelcome). Bloodstone dust gets thrown into Mawdrey, which gives me more salvage. Same with empyral fragments and dragonite ore. Eyes of Kormir as well get fed into more salvage loot. That said, I still have yet to do more than one Istan meta cycle per day, and I actually haven't capped yet on Luck (though I am getting close).

    The fact is, luck has just become easier to get since LS 3 started. It doesn't take a grind to supply a guild with the luck anymore. Considering each of the Guild upgrades aside from Further Exploration are only 77 of the Exotic luck (15,400 luck, which is somewhere between 200-250 green items on average), it really is quite easy to generate it in four days at most. Half that time is easy if you go for high-loot quantity activities.

    Seriously, look at how much luck you get on average from a single salvage. An Istan meta event cycle commonly thrusts ~150 unidentified gear at you of the varying rarities. Even assuming 20 of the Rare qualities, which give no Luck on salvage (assuming you deposit the ectos, not salvage them), that's still about 130 salvages, each of which are averaging about 30 luck (this is a lowball estimate. Actual average is probably closer to 40/salvage). 3,900 luck solely from the unidentified gear drops, and that's not counting the actual gear that you get from the mob drops, which typically will add another 20 green items, plus blues. All told, a single person doing an Istan meta event cycle once will generate about a third of the required 77 Exotic essences with "salvage all masterwork and lower." This doesn't take long to do, and the events are actually pretty fun anyway. Whole thing takes less than an hour to do. Doing some daily fractals (I'm talking T1 dailies, so minimal AR required, if any) will easily bring that up to half of your target.

    Keep in mind that you don't need that many Exotic lucks to actually drop, you just need the 15,400 total and a character with the Artificier crafting discipline to condense it.

    Not 77, 777 for further exploration.There is a space in there as you can see.

    @Fremtid.3528 said:READ IT AGAIN. It says Not 77 COMMA 777 for further exploration. The fact I should have to explain to you that I am not in fact by a factor of ten when you were the one who was wrong to begin with. When you quoted me when I said 777 and still got it wrong and said 77 is amazing.

    Calm down, buddy. 77 COMMA 777 is Seventy-seven thousand, seven hundred seventy-seven. If you had an extra space in there, I didn't see it.

    Also, look again at what I kept saying. 77 Exotic Luck for each upgrade aside from Further Exploration, which, in fact, in the very latest post you quoted, I once again reiterated I wasn't including with that number.

    In fact, in the post you just quoted, I also addressed specifically what it would take me to get the 777 exotic lucks for Further Exploration: about 21 days of my average play.

    So chill out and read what people are writing. You might get someone to agree with you when you do.

    Guild Hall upgrades are an awful sink for luck, because it takes so little to fill it up, and it's a one-time deal for the entire guild.

    Actually in English when you say not before saying something even when using numbers it assumes that you're saying not x,(but and implied but or thererefore) x sorry but you're wrong.

  12. I've literally spent hundreds of hours in my private guild hall decorating it and then again taking all my friends there to show them the latest crazy decorations. I have a lost precipice guild hall and there's a bridge literally in our sky. It was a project that came to me one day and it cost me and my friend snow literally thousands of clouds and my friend vin (the one who is capped on luck) built it. So me and my friends enjoy my guild halls. But that's just a small example. But I'm in another guild a much larger one where they gather in the hall every Sunday for guild missions at the guild portal, and recently with the release of the fractal console I had the opportunity to see what it was and what it does when a different friend invited me to visit his guild that had one. I wanted one of course for my guild because it was very fun but I said to myself what benefit would it be in such a small guild? I'm sure it's a great way to travel around the guild hall but I think it would be wasted in a guild that only has occasional visitors. So I made one for the larger guild for (the larger guild is Vin's guild) Vin's Christmas present. And it's well loved. Guild halls are also very useful places to be with the 24 hour buffs if you're in a maxed guild (as you seemed to imply) you should definitely use those because they're useful as heck. Because depending on the buff at max strength it's either 10 or 20%. You like to run Istan right? That was you? Even just a map bonus reward buff could give you more loot for more useless luck for you. Grats!

    Also, you have the option to just click delete on your luck just like everyone else who has too many obsidian or bloodstone or empyrael fragments or dragonite. The stacks taking up space is a problem created by you because YOU FEEL IT WILL BECOME VALUABLE at some point.

    And to answer your question about the tomes of knowledge (because i knew you wouldn't read the thread). Here's an example:

    @Pridedemon.3041 said:Well i have about 3.5 stacks of ToK.The only use i have for them is to make a new char every week, use 10 tomes to get him insta 10 and then do the story quick to get a BL key and then delete the character. For this purpose i always have 1 open slot for character. Not that i really need another 80, i already have 14 chars so those tomes are totally worthless to me.

    I hope there is something better use for them, like being able to use them instead of mystic coin for legendaries which are going crazy in price. So for us who do lot of pvp can have some good use for them.

    Yeah I guess she could make spirit shards with them but wait!

    @Pridedemon.3041 said:I have over 2k spirit shards, i have made 6 legendary weapons so far so unless i plan to make 10 more immediately i don't need any more shards.ToK are totally worthless for veteran players, ANET should implement some better use for them or just remove them and replace them altogether with something better in pvp reward tracks. Almost every reward track gives ToK

    There's not a single wvwer or pvper that doesn't have this problem on some level. I wvw and I'm starting to get this problem a little bit. The only reason I hadn't until now was because I made 18 legendaries and built like five or six guild halls and guild halls also use tomes. Although, granted, far less tomes than they use luck.

    But even if this person were to create a key char every week in a year he or she would only use 520 tomes and you can get a lot of tomes just doing your regular wvw/pvp in a year not to mention the log-in bonus. And she already has 875. You get tomes on the reward track in wvw AND every time you rank up.
