  1. @Danikat.8537 said:As other people have already said this is how it works. An item cannot be both rare and valuable enough to have some sense of prestige and be cheap and easy to obtain. That's an oxymoron.

    So if players want rare, valuable items which they imagine other players may be impressed to see them using they need to accept that those items are going to be some combination of difficult, expensive, time consuming and luck-based to obtain. Without that it's just another random skin everyone can get whenever they want, which apparently devalues it.

    Personally I'd rather have more stuff which is easier to obtain, not instant but somewhere in the middle...I'd put legendary weapons as the absolute upper limit of what should be required. But then I've never really understood the idea of prestigious items anyway, I'd rather everyone is able to obtain the stuff they like and I enjoy seeing what they do with it. An interesting combination of skins with a theme and a good colour scheme is far more interesting to me than one or more items which are only significant because I remember hearing it's expensive or hard to obtain. Of course those skins can be part of a cool theme, but on their own they're no more interesting to me than anything else.

    But I've seen enough topics and comments on this forum about how there's no good drops, everything is trash loot and there needs to be more rare and valuable items so players have something worthwhile to go after to understand why Anet would respond to that feedback by putting expensive and difficult to obtain items into the game.

    I think that the problem is that it is only reasonably obtainable through either i) Having about 15-20k in pure gold. ii) farming a 2 hour long meta until your eyes bleed pixels iii) putting about $650 on your visa(or moms). I get that there should be rare items in the game but there are better ways to implement them.

  2. So lemmie get this straight....Anet decides that a new infusion that looks like my toon with 8 winters, a celestial and grey will cost about 15K(=/-) and will ONLY be available to the super rich through crafting. WTF Anet. You were doing well recently. Oh, and put the meta for the crafting items behind a 2 hour zerg facepalm....I can see this becoming an elitist item that will not even be available when people stop(and they will) doing the map. GG Anet, if you want pointers on how to create interesting ways of obtaining rare items in a video game feel free to PM me, heck I won't even bill you.....

  3. At first, I was happy because I thought you got a Scion Weapon for every 1K chests you opened (in addition to RNG). Then I learned that was a one time thing and got very sad.

    Me too. I also made a decision on which weapon to pick with the internal caveat that I would eventually be able to get another choice down the road. Even though I do quite of bit of that awesome and fun meta, I doubt that I will ever get another choice, let alone somehow complete the collection.Whoever somehow manages to get all the skins should get the title "RNG MASTER" in caps which changes colour and pulses with the skin aura. I joke but that would actually be cool :)

  4. I had read that there were server issues but I didn't know that they were isolated to EU so I stayed away as I have been frustrated on prior instances. That being said, Anet didn't have to give anything to anyone. Server crashes and roll backs happen. They probably should have given a license to everyone who has an account though just to mitigate these types of posts.

  5. Hiyas,

    With video cards becoming faster and faster, it seems that GW2 now has the ability to possibly add some better Anti Aliasing. The current selection is better than it used to be with SMAA "high" available but how about an ultra high setting?Currently I have found injectors for AA make the game much much worse(fonts) and I don't think that I can force better AA through Nvidia inspector.

    Whatcha say devs???

  6. Hiya.I would love to play the game at higher resolutions but the DPI scaling is just so bad I cant handle the fonts or the giant mega huge cursor. Is there something that i am doing wrong? I have tried setting my native resolution higher and going windowed fullscreen but it doesnt seem to matter. :(

  7. Great video. I dont think it will affect gw2 since most people play on x86 windows systems. If apple starts using arm chips with OSx then I believe would be great for the end user.Also I think that gw2 would probably be end of life by the time arm is running a native microsoft OS.It got me very interested in learning more about arm systems for high end power gaming in the near future !!
