Mystic Coins already went down in price not so very long ago due to changes ANet implemented, more than 50%, in fact. And yet now they're back at 2G apiece, like they were before. These temporary events will not crash or permanently change the value of Mystic Coins if the previous permanent change hasn't either.

You forget in your argumentation that after the increase of supply there was also a strong increase in demand namely the 1 month rune crafting and the SotO armor.

[How about an expansion with time travel?]

Fractals and SorO 1st map are partially a kind of time travel aren’t they?

[Understanding team placement on WvW]

Can someone explain what determines which team you will be placed on each week in WvW?   

After a relink it's 90% random (Glicko rating with a random modfier, but the glicko of the server is close, and the random quite large). if there is no special announcement, relink is currently every last friday of a month. on relink a dev posts which server play together the next month, e.g.:

If there wasn't a relink, it's winner up/looser-down, except that ties block that.

 

 

[Live In EU With An NA Account]

You can transfer your whole account to EU, in the char selection screen bottom left "world selection".On the top right of the dialog you can choose Europe vs America. Cost you at least 500 gems, if you do NOT play WvW, the population of worlds is irrelevant to you, all PvE of EU (or of NA) play together, I.e. you can choose a cheapest world without any difference in PvE.

I'm looking for a class that can handle HPs such as:

1. Vampire from VB
2. Mushrom AB
3. Tengu AB
4. Mushrom TD

Gw2 is an MMO not a souls-like, any class can handle them easily as follow:

1. switch on your mentor tag
2. write HP at tag into map chat 
3. wait 2 min 😎

My most recent experience with this is the process  of acquiring the sky scale mount.  I tried for two days to advance this achievement without luck.  As with almost every other achievement in this game I made zero progress and was once again forced to open a web browser to search the wiki or You Tube.

Yes you can do things faster with wiki, but it's not true, that you cannot progress without. You know that the term Achievement comes from achieving something 😉

[Crafting a legendary Relict needs 18'750 Pile of Lucent Crystal? Really?]

48 minutes ago, Shuzuru.3651 said:

Maybe, so every craft in the whole game is a waste then? You said it doesn't matters who do the craft, so 1 person crafting 100 cristal is identical to 100 person crafting 1 cristal which is identical to 100 person crafting the final step of a legendary.

In the meantime we got a lot of mass-crafting (mats -> reserarch notes, mats -> precursors, mats compression (e.g. ore to ingot), Mot -> pile, ...), the amount of player-time and energie wasted by that is quite large.

To make an example: Whenever my mithril ore storage of 2500 is ful (and that happens quite often). I can

• sell them to HP. Why do I need to take out 10 stacks and sell them one by one on the HP? The HP is not really reliable, it usually blanks out 1-2 times during that. Why can't I sell 2500 mithril directly out of the bank?
• turn them to research notes (I usually do that), but that wastes 1/2 a hour of my time. I don't really play GW2 because the crafting screen is so beautiful.

Stack size and crafting speed are 12 years old. They were designed at a time where the mats storage was 250. And they were ok for that, but now the mats storage is 10 times as large and the amount of mats we have to handle is up to 750 times as large (750 stacks of Lucent Mots to build a single item). Stack size and crafting speed aren't admissible anymore.

Really, the ecological argument?

Better 1 hour online gaming than 1 hour car-excursion, I guess. But having to run the computer over night, to mass-craft garbage is a waste, isn't it?

No one force you to do that, you can directly buy cristal, and you can directly buy Mystic Facet.

Yes, yes, BUT, it still doesn't change the time the whole GW2 community wasted with that, also e.g. the unecological amount of power consumption wasted for that is the same, independed who produces the facets.

Pro tip : you don't have to hoard all the component unrefined at the same time

Pro Math: That doesn't change the total time you (or the community as a whole) spend with such messy mass production.

1 hour ago, Shuzuru.3651 said:

I also invite you to look at the mithril and elder wood requirement for gen2 legendaries (Release in the golden HoT Era, for reference)

Yeah the amount of time it needs to turn mithril into research notes, is another example of such messy mass production

And yes I crated 2 gen1 precursors myself (all others I prefered to buy), I know (a bit) what you are saying.

Yeah, we need a black hole. 

I don't really care of the price and I got my leg relicts yesterday. I find the handling with the current system limits unacceptable! And I fear once this messy mass items are in the game now, they will become relevant in other areas soon.

• 750 Stacks of Lucent Motes that doesn't even fit my fully expanded bank that has only space for 510 stacks, just 1/75 of them fit the material storage
• Buying 750 Stacks of 250 items in the HP is a very painfully procedure (I already hated that when I was buying them for my 8 sigils and 7 runes and that was only a fraction of what is needed now)
• you (the community) spend hours on the crafting station to compress the Motes to piles

33 minutes ago, Cyninja.2954 said:

Pile of Lucent Crystal (crafted from 10 motes) went from 980k (9.8 million Lucent Motes) to 530k (5.3 million Lucent Motes), remaining stable there for now.

I don't play GW2 to do such messy mass processing. To make such amount of matrerials acceptable (Still not nice):

• material storage need to be expanded by factor 10 for piles and 100 for motes (and future mass items as well)
• stack size needs to be expanded by factor 10
• crafting speed needs to be instant (independent of the amount)
• the rune-crafter salavager needs an option to salvage all masterworks and rare WITH rune/sigil, but no others (e.g. you get a lot masterwork without rune/sigil in fractals, that you better salvage with copper-tool).

18,000 hours in 7 years equates to 7 hours a day, every single day for those years. If you then factor in repeated breaks from the game, that means you are likely playing for 12+ hours a day

I would rather see that as an indication that (s)he let his computer often on while not playing (e.g. durng the night) with GW2 in the char-selction screen. I think that already counts for play hours of the account.

I dislike this expansion and the direction its going in, i wish they had stuck with cantha

While I agree that Core-EoD was much better than SotO, I also think, that the two Gyala Delve EoD-expansions where the worst part of GW2 so far, much worser than SotO, I like that they at least recovered from that low-point.

Just lol. I guess they wanted a sink for the piles?

A sink is ok, but does it need to be a black hole?

[Crafting a legendary Relict needs 18'750 Pile of Lucent Crystal? Really?]

I looked at the crafting tree of  the new Legendary Relict in gw2efficiency.

It needs 18'750 Pile of Lucent Crystal (that are 75 Stacks) which are 187'500 Lucent Mot (750 Stacks)?

That's 37.5 times as much as is needed for a legenday rune! Really? Is this a bug or crazyness or do we get a 20k material storage expansion and a stack size increase to 2500 and a crafting speed increase by factor 10-100 soon?

Also curios why no release time yet besides the date?

Probably because it’s as usual, between 18-19 CET (which is 9-10 in ANets timezone)

[Does anyone else not do the main story?]

If you don’t play the story once you miss a lot easy mastery points. You also miss the background that glue maps and their events together.

[Old Dailies]

Hm, I never checked if they count. I always went to the activity NPC (were they aren't in the rota) in LA, before I spend time in a festival. Maybe a mistake.

But you still get credit for those for WV....maybe not sanctum sprint, guessing you have to cross the finish line.

Edit: you can get it for the sprint as well by crossing the finish-line, as you just spawn one corner (last check-point) before the finish line if everyone else. already crossed it  I got the sprint counted, when I joined in the moment the scoring poped up. (As linken wrote simultaneously below 🙂 )

What I really don't like on the daily activities, is that most activities are festival-only, as they should not get boring. Just a few are in daily rotation and therefore very boring after the x repetition. Not even during a festival, the festival activities are included in the daily rota.

No rift repair means no Legendary Leyline Anomaly hunting, thus no Beetle Saddle and obviously no Beetle.

This must be nonsense, the beetle is LS4.3 launched on June 26, 2018, while the skyscale is LS4.6 launched on May 14, 2019

You got it wrong, the LS4 Legendary Vision ask you to do the LS4 way of skyscale as well. And it's not the only LS4 addition to the skyscale. If you want (any/all of) them, do both ways, as others like me already did.
