Guild Wars 2: The One Thread

[DrakeWurrum]

So, after getting bored with my Thief at 57 I decided to twink.

And oddly enough, I now have no problems with levels. Maybe it's a human only thing (going Queensdale -> Kessex Hills -> Gendarran Fields), but as an Asura, I never had to visit another area while doing the same thing I did with my Thief. I'm now level 31 and it went fluently. Might be because they throw in Brisban Wildlands after Metrica Province before sending you to Kessex Hills, giving you an Xp advantage..

I never have a problem with level on ANY of the races. I tend to explore a lot, and I end up repeating events a bunch too.

So after not knowing what I want to do in terms of ''end game'' I decided to farm for the warrior karma set (42k a piece) it looks awesome and will give me something to aim for, the only thing is the stats on the set, they seem really poor. There's way to much healing and toughness on the set, I suppose it's OK if you plan on using a shield but for a great sword user it's quite odd. Im going to farm it anyway but I wish there was an option to change the stats.

Transmutation stones say hi.

found a secret message in lornas pass, there are other items like that too. Anyone an idea what this is all about?

They are just accessories I think. I joined the Order of Whispers and there wasn't really anything to them that I could figure out.

Maybe, maybe not. I've also found trees that also have special numbers etched on them that I haven't yet found any use for. Personally I think there's got to be something to it =)

interesting can you tell me the waypoint near those? I also found an event (near the norn-vendor who sells the secret message after an other event) where you have to kill a Jotun-Boss, after that the Norn-hunter digs up a chest. I can't interact with it though.

Trees in Plains of Ashford? That has to do with Charr personal story.

That is an option but it's quite a grind for the set isn't it, seems pointless getting the set just for the cosmetics then having to farm again for another set with desirable stats.

Pointless to you maybe. Some people like to look awesome!

They've started posting update notes (in addition to the vague game updates on the wiki): https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/foru...ember-9th-2012

Oh, that's nice. Bookmarking that section.

Also actually ties in with what we were just discussing:

Crafting
· Players can now do the production portion of crafting without having to pull the resources from their bank. Note: Discovery still requires use of the bank. This is something we would like to change but decided that getting part of the way there was better than making players wait for the entire fix.

True that

Im getting the set anyway it's something to work towards and it's decent for using a shield at least (plenty of toughness and healing) and who knows by the time iv get the set I might have saved up a few golds I can always start getting other pieces crafted. I just wish there was 2-3 options of the same set with different stats that's all.

[DrakeWurrum]

For the record, a Toughness and Healing set can be useful to just about any weapon. :P
It would be beneficial to any build that's designed for staying alive and supporting the team.

Now if only they hadn't nerfed the Compassion scaling of the 6-slot skills. :<

Lots of people do this already in other games; Secret World, Tera, Rift, World of Warcraft, Everquest 2, Aion, Raiderz, Guild Wars 1, Runes of Magic, etc.

Seems standard nowadays.

Someone should make a "Crafting Materials Farm Spots" thread. Finding Tier 6 stuff and ectos is getting on my nerves.

I would like this as well, can never remember which zones go with which lower level items, and I need a ton of those.

[Meledelion]

I kinda go with this one, every "tier" of crafting = 10lvls I'm not sure about the crafting tiers so I guessed
0-25 10
25-75 20
75-125 30
125-150 40
150-225 50
225-300 60
300-320 70
320-400 80

[Arrowstormen]

Thing is, Tier 6 stuff is so rare to find on even level 80 mobs.

The key is building up immense amounts of the T5 stuff while you're hunting for T6 stuff, and then mystic forging your T5 stuff into shinier T6 stuff. Don't just buy loads of T5 stuff off the TP and do that, though. You'd lose money.

It's not really the same though the karma set is exotic quality you'd expect it to have some of the best stats available at the moment and the warrior version really doesn't. It's not like it's some old or low level set that's just their to be transmoged into your latest tier gear.

Exotic gear does have the best stats. One chooses the set that matches either their build or desired look. The aesthetics of which are transferable.

It's exactly the same aside from the bummer that GW2 uses a destructive reskin system.

So I just finished AC with three Guardians and I stand with my point.

They are too strong. :/

(Guardians, not the instance)

[DrakeWurrum]

Ya know, I'm kinda surprised that Might isn't a percent damage increase, instead of a flat increase to Power and Malice. O_o

Considering they made a similar change for Vulnerability, anyways.
