  1. I was recently playing 'Cyberpunk 2077' and noticed a familiar floating image in Arasoka tower. The new backpiece that we got recently seems to be heavily inspired by it to the point where the animations look the same, even the default colours do too. I really hope that this is a coincidence and not a plagiarised asset from another game.

  2. Another large effect is that Teapot (a game partner) has convinced mega-farmers to buy hundreds of accounts for login dailies. Sadly these people don't buy accounts, they buy game keys for cents so Anet makes very little but I'm sure they make some which has been incentive to not tackle it. These login dailies give mystic coins for free, multiply that by ~50 accounts per player and it was inevitable that the MC market would crash. Teapot also encourages afk farmers which is why we have seen an increase in bot activity. He is bad for the economy and bad for the game in general.

  3. It's actually shocking that the antique summoning stones are locked behind only 1 meta (and a limited weekly vendor) when you look back and see amalgamated gemstones dropped from every meta chest. It is unlikely they will change it to match but if they did, a lot of players would be happier with additional acquisition methods. It likely wouldn't hurt the playerbase for DE because the weekly vendor already did that. I love the difficulty of DE but I refuse to sit and wait for over an hour spamming "join" on a meta that is not guaranteed.

    They did actually stated that: "You’ll only need to forge each weapon once, then you’ll go on a journey with it to attune it to the magic of the other Elder Dragons. So all those amazing greatswords Chelsea showed us are really just the same greatsword attuned to different magics, and you won’t have to worry about spending tons of resources making and remaking these weapons." 
    Thats literary from their news post : https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/a-closer-look-at-the-guild-wars-2-end-of-dragons-legendary-weapons/

    And sure there is a difference between "for free" as in doing nothing to get it, and "for free" as in doing an achiev, but without spending gold worth half of a gen1 legendary. I dont mind doing events etc to get the achiev done, but cmon a gold price on a skin thats equal to 1/2 of a gen1 legendary to get a skin (and particulary not a very good one too) is too much.

    And yet again the major selling point of gen3 legendaries was that it will have 7 skin variants with one initial payment (to craft it). The skins itself (both base version and dragon themed ones) by quality are close to BLC skin sets. And i havent seen a single BLC skin that cost that much to get (usually they are around 50-100g). 

    They really should either lower the prices per skin to a reasonable amount of 50-70g (like BLC skins) or make this collection a one time thing to unlock all of the skins of particular dragon. 

    This is the perfect answer.

    Teapot thinks he's funny.

    Mukluk actually is.

    And this is from a Brit.

     

    There's just something about Teapot's "personality" that rubs me up the wrong way.

     

    I've watched enough of him to know he has some good points, but at the same time, he's very focused on the sweaty-palmed side of the game, and any suggestions he makes are going to benefit those types of players first and foremost.

    Pretty much this. Teapot screams like a youtuber aimed at kids most of the time which is very grating. Not only that but he openly talks about exploiting the game and yet Anet does not use this information in any way. He is proud of how much he can exploit the game and screw the economy of it, not his problem.
    Mukluk o nthe other hand always does videos to help players. His videos are centred around makign the game better, not how much players can break it. Plus he is way more chill too, nice to listen to.

    - "How cool would it be if you could affect a region at least for a couple of hours or a day in some way?"

    I hate it. I don't even like waiting the 2 hours for dragons end. Why would anyone suggest content and achievements be locked out for several real life days at a time. Maybe you didn't suggest that but it would be inevitable. Perhaps you would change your mind after doing dusk/dawn fishing?

    I never heard of time in the game - because there is no visible day/night difference. I had no idea there was a time of day. I did not hear about it until fishing came out.  Is it used for anything other than fishing? 

    You have to look up to see the difference 😛

    Some sigils do more damage at time of day, some weapons change shape at time. All of that would be on the wiki though if you want more detail.

    I don't know about in its own tab, as I like to know what achieves are available in the map I'm currently in, but sorted to the bottom of the tab below the completed achieves once all ap are gained from the repeats might be nice.  That would let me scroll down to spot them without them mingling with as-yet-undone achieves, and keep them nicely grouped up for reference.

    This or even an additional infinity symbol on them so it is easier to spot at a glance.

    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 I 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.

    With any luck, legislation will be enforced on predatory loot box mechanics sooner rather than later. It's on the way, just not fast enough.

  10. If you as a player didn't know yet, you can use /time in game to see Tyrian time, some maps have time frozen but you can find all that info on the wiki. My question is this; when will we see Canthan time added? At the very least it should be available in Cantha or it's own emote /Ctime or something. Knowing Tyrian time in Cantha is not super useful. That's it, that's the conversation.

    There are so many pointless updates in the "Latest news" section when logging in, why not put a message in there saying "dealing with persistant bug that causes character swapping issues" so everyone is aware that the issue is not on their end?

    This is actually a great idea. Many game launchers have notifications like this, it really helps but I have never seen Anet do this, their communication is god awful.

    Sure thing OP. Maybe offer the same treatment for WvW and PvP legendary armor?  
     

    Why not legendary weapons too?  How about GoB and GoE?

    I mean if people don’t want to actually play the game and just buy the best gear, may as well give players in all game modes a chance to cash in right?

    Completely devaluing content because players are too lazy to play it, or because players aren’t satisfied with the gold they earn, does not seem like a good move. 

    On that sarcastic note how about increase value of everything in the game by making every item account-bound. Let's cease all trading because players are too lazy these days. If you didn't earn it yourself then you don't deserve it.

     

    Extreme scenarios are dumb.

    Hey all. I know this bug is really frustrating. We have an engineer working on it, so a fix is actively being worked on and in progress.

    Thanks for hanging in there, and we're apologize that this bug is impacting your game experience.

    Can we get some KP here? What is their Kompletion Proofs? If they don't have at least 1500 bug fixes, can you use an internal LFG tool for finding other engineers? Which reminds me; what spec are they running because Spellbreakers seem better suited to the task.

    And if you look at actual swimming turtles, you'd notice that they are closer to the Shell Surfer Skimmer skin than they are to the Siege Tortoise.

    And this is a game where turtles (who look like tortoises) can wear cannons and fly. I think we can let realism away with this one.

    The Siege Turtle mount walks on the floor of bodies of water, it can't swim.

    What would the pet do when you are underwater but nowhere near to floor? It can't swim and the boosters can't keep it afloat for long.

    Real turtles swim in the ocean and don't weigh 20,000kg so I would gather a juvenile is much lighter. Besides it doesn't have to make sense.

    There's so many disingenuous people arguing here - completely missing (or choosing to ignore?) the point that leather *is* more expensive than its counterparts, it does not matter if OP doesn't write the exact right kitten figure for it. You're not being constructive arguing whether it's 147 times or 200 times or not.

     

    I don't have a problem with it costing more, but I do find it strange that it's so much rarer than cloth/wood/metal - it just does not drop as often. I have an entire guild bank full of silk, mithril and elder wood, and I'm barely at material cap in my bank for leather (note: 1500 cap, I refine all, and I've got many thousands of the others). It feels weird to have to resort to a specific farm (Lake Doric) to guarantee it dropping, rather than just have it drop more from salvaging.

     

    Yes, there are other means to get it such as shipments, but it's not like leather is supposed to be a rare material. I'd argue that a lot of people would benefit if it was more common.

    You hit the nail on the head. Lots of people just want to argue against any suggestion to be pedantic but not offering any look towards why it is more expensive. (though I am done arguing with him) Trejgon above wants to bite my head off just because I brought it up yet still points out what I already pointed out before...

    * Leather does not drop anywhere close to the same amount as the other comparable materials
    * You shouldn't have to use a farm
    * We would all benefit from more sources
    * Refinement size was changed years ago to offset an overabundance back in the day, it's now causing an issue.
