  1. Therefore no way to know So? Not in game, 99% of people do not visit threads. I only bothered coming here to see if I was missing something about this release, as it was super light on content. I personally knew nothing about existing either. Always told it was hard and not worth it. Tried to follow a guide once for gen 1, couldn't figure it out. Who set the time limit if not the devs? Do I have access to some config file to adjust the time limit? I apparently need all of it to get the required materials.
  2. You speak for yourself. It was not posted anywhere in game.
  3. Yeah but there is a flaw. They were only introduced recently, so all those materials and money you need, you only started collecting 2 weeks ago. And you have 3 months to do it to get the specials. So long term is effectively 3 months. If you already knew everything you needed over the last 10 years and have been collecting, it's not as bad. But I certainly wasn't doing that.
  4. The movement animations on the mounts is just sublime. But I also want to call out to the amazing server infrastructure they apparently have. It's virtually never down, never a wait time, and it can run several versions of the world at the same time and still consolidate the data. The way they run their beta is even more brilliant. Great job whoever built that entire thing.
  5. At least we now know what materials to collect and never sell. So every day normal play saves us some money
  6. Wow, just like real life, I just realized my game character is poor too with only 700g. So I guess unless 500g is chump change for you, don't go for legendary sets.
  7. I remember playing Champions Online with a controller. GW2 has very similar combat. It would probably work really well except for the ground target skills. Those might take some creativity to make good with a thumbstick. They work great as is if you use the touchpads on the deck or steam controller.
  8. I think one of the options is to just drink water. It makes you fail the contest. I've never tried to fail before so no idea what happens.
  9. I was kind of shocked at how good 2 swords felt, replacing my staff on my power reaper. Getting the 100 kills was a breeze and I am keeping them. No idea if they are a good choice over staff, but they glitch less and are much easier to target sky objects with. I just wish my Condi necro had some better choices. I am sick of harb condi.
  10. I almost want to see it like the old coin op games where if you stay in the same general place too long, super strong enemies pop out of nowhere and kill you. The coin ops did that so no one could get a free play from someone that abandoned their session. It could also make a hilarious meta game where people do this on purpose just to fight the strong guy that appears.
  11. Also still locks you into a single build. Your not going to do this to keep switching between your favorite raid build and your favorite open world build and your favorite pvp build and your favorite wvw build.
  12. I assume if they have the original master model files it's probably not too hard. Original masters from artists are usually insanely highly detailed before scaled down to actually work in the game. But they would probably feel the need to censor them too. Also it wouldn't make anet any money, so they don't have any financial incentive to do this unless they had some bored artists or something.
  13. And they are right, that's the "be careful what you wish for".
  14. Sorry, I meant stuff to do. The new weapons was just given to us, with the story I think? I can't speak for others, but my SO and I were done in an hour and a half. Went "that's it?". Tried to figure out what to do, the usual story achievement, the usual map achievements. And the legendary. Since the reward for all of them was just a few AP, we didn't really bother, logged off and went and watched a movie. Which arguably turned into a worse waste of time because the movie was terrible. All totally off topic though
  15. I think this is what slapped us in the face. This update just added the armor and virtually nothing else. So we are all just running head first into the grind. Or in my case, ran for it, saw the mountain and said nope, closed the game.
  16. Rename to map tedium then. Semantics sure, but accurately describes it. If you go on a trip and travel to the destination, your are complete, you don't have to keep going back to the airport and booking your flight to where you are over and over again, getting up in a plane, flying in a circle and landing again. I just figured out quote :) 35 36, my guess as to how many times you have to repeat lanterns for a complete set. If it took me an hour to do all the maps (being generous here) that's 36 hours of non stop blow your brains out boredom. Surly Anet can do better. Well I am old, and you said it was easy, so explain it. Skipping Actually different sites for legendary stuff, but that's a different issue. But you misunderstand, legendary lets you change your build easily. So every time anet rebalances, releases new classes, or anything, those of us without legendary have to recraft everything. So we wait for those sites to be updated with whatever build is closest to what we already have. This contributes to game inactivity, every rebalance us casuals are waiting for build updates. And that's great, so you click through what you can craft, and hunt for one that can be salvaged, and hope it rewards enough currency to be worth the effort. Not a great experience. And can't really be fixed because research notes as a concept just doesn't work.
  17. Based on what you describe, you made it seem like I have the best shot at gen 2? I am sitting on 1000 mystic coins presently No I haven't tried. I have all those lions arch vendor available collections open, most of them like 1 or 2 items from completion. I just optimized on ascended gear and went straight to raids and stuff. Using alts to switch builds. Weirdly I like raids better than strikes. Is that strange?
  18. Numbered to help you. 1: Yes I did, I am sorry you are having trouble understanding. 2: You keep using that word, I don't think you know what it means. I have to assume you are just trying to insult or bully someone. So all I have to say is come say that in person if you want to bully me. 3: Map completion is not repeating the same thing over and over on the same character on the same map in the exact same spot (the lanterns). It's already complete the first time. The other (35?) times is punishment. 4: Explain it then, to anyone, go to an old folks home and explain it, all the steps to get all sets of legendary armor and weapons and how long it takes. Should be easy for you if its not complicated. 5: Your right, not easy, bad word. Should be less tedious. The big players already got them, let's let the casual people in on this too. The exact same reasoning as the skyscale. 6: It's not actually mine, but it sure seems to have died lately. None of the sites are getting updated anymore? Hopefully its just a long delay. 7: What items? Thankfully someone posted a list, but for the longest time a google search just reveals a bunch of dead ideas on how to get them. And it's not explained in game anywhere what rime or reason there is to what can be salvaged for research and what can't. So instead it's just a "wreck your hard earned and crafted equipment" now. Why is it research notes are designed to remove cheap high end equipment but leave the market flooded with low end equipment?
  19. I am not sure how you are breaking up quotes, so I replied one at a time. It's all there, read carefully, use your good eye. And I understand how to get them, so yes just complaining (For the none English speakers here, the enter key denotes a new thought)
  20. Actually I did reply, but again, whatever. I am doing something wrong? Maybe, I do my dailies, maybe work towards some achievement. 30 minutes a day at most usually. Right now I am cycling around vendors each day for the provisioner tokens since I had none of them. Didn't know they existed or was needed. So dailies plus cycle. I might have to squeeze in research notes, someone posted a link with a site that lists stuff to craft for them. So what am I doing wrong?
  21. Ok so SoTO will be relevant in 10 more years, Got it, no need to grind. It may actually take me that long just to get enough research notes let alone the other gifts. I drop anything when it stops being fun since time is too valuable. Little flattered you went through my post history. Unsure how facts are strawman, but whatever. All I ask is make getting legendary gear actually fun. Attach it to fun events, do fun things.
  22. Sure, in your mind legendary items are supposed to be not fun. If you have fun doing it, your doing it wrong. Why not just get a job and make money, its equally not fun.
  23. That's not exploration, that's tedium. Exploration involves new things, tedium is doing the same 36 times for hours with no fun in sight.
