Guess it depends when you play.

Think it would be much harder to get a DS meta going after a few months if people could farm map currency in home instance. I also want to go the lazy route, but if I'd ever want an ach or map completion there it would be more of a pain than it has to be. It's good to give people a reason to come back to a map.

Gathering tools with useful glyphs on discount. Would buy some extra that way.

I would also get some extra ones

The apps are called Twitter, Facebook or whatever other platform they're on. Them not providing timely and regular updates is a separate issue.

You just don't know what to do with it. I have to be careful with karma spending or I end up not having any when I need it. Do pact supply daily trades for starters if you want to consistently spend it. On wintersday you can burn through all of it in one go converting it to gold if I'm not mistaken.

Do yourself a massive favor and save gold and buy the Legendary. When you have WvW people saying it's the least toxic part of the game, you've lost any realistic feedback. They will be right there ready to kill you, and please resurrect so they can kill you again. Having earned the Gift of Battle legitimately numerous times, it's as boring as possible. Either there is some absurd belief that the Gift of Battle will make people like WvW, or that WvW players will like PvE if forced into it. I've never met any but we are stuck with it. Play what you enjoy and use the gold for what you want. > > I kill enemy plyers all the time in a mode designed to pit 3 servers against each other. > I'm so toxic. > > Honestly, if you have nothing better to do than complain about people killing you in WvW, then you missed the point entirely. > > No one is just going to let you go up to a camp and go "here you go, do your legendary, it's ok, take our camp it's fine". > So toxic it hurts. > > > @"Jilora.9524" said: > > Another thing I do say to you pveers.

WvW or not - you can literally treat it as PvE Silverwastes style and do your thing without ever having to actually play WvW like most people do. > > And you have to do it for 4-8 hours depending on boosts. > How is that in any way bad or detestable compared to other boring stuff that lasts way longer, is more grindy and harder to do that you have to do for the same legendary? You're trying to tell me that you can walk around in wvw for 8 hours like you're taking a walk in the park? That it's the same as PvE? That you can do that without getting killed several dozens of times or even getting chased by some bloodthirsty elitist players? Make a video and show us please. I can't even call this a fairy tale, you're straight out lying to my face. The nerve... Just wow. I just... wow... I'm speechless hahah. Anyway, I'm outta this thread. Since you have no reasonable arguments I have nothing to discuss with you anymore.

This would be valid if only people who wanted to wvw actually did wvw. In GW2's case casual players who don't want to pvp others are being forcibly pushed into WvW if they want to craft a gen 2 lege. I can't count the number of people who detested farming their gift of battle. For gen 1 they can at least avoid any frustration by paying a bit extra, but it's still a bit underhanded to push uninterested people into wvw with such tactics. The very least they could do is let them earn participation if they die to avoid such posts

Erm, you outright buy the gen 1 legendary you want? If you want to save gold by getting bored to death - your choice. If it's a gen 2, you do HPs in wvw and just take a stroll through HoT maps with 0 combat. But yeah, the whole point here is that even if you do PvE no one will harass you and prevent you in any way from making progress. It's just boring.

It's been over a dozen times I left WvW myself cuz the maps were dead or had only elite groups of players left who chase and kill anything on sight.

Macs should have the ability to boot windows via Boot Camp. Run GW there and problem solved

I believe this was already considered and they gave up due to technical limitations and/or issues.

Don't you get cheaper waypoint travel if you represent a guild? Plus you can pick a permanent guild buff at tavern and keep changing it whenever you wish (exp/wvw/karma etc boosts) But yeah, it's mostly a social thing, you can see where the people from your guild are and vice versa. Makes for some fun interactions.

A lot of the masteries are non essential. The few that might be considered necessary are easy enough to get due to abundance of mastery points.

I just wish they would stop rushing to release content. Take your time, release some fixes, quality of life updates, events or collections for older maps in the meantime while we wait.

Hm, in the 30 series the 3080 is the best choice atm when it comes to price to performance. Anyway, if you won't feel the price difference too much I'd definitely go for the better GPU. Especially if you plan to keep it for up to 5 years or more.

> @"Meow Ren.5382" said: > If you've completed all the other HP in Heart of Thorns or only have the difficult ones left (like Mushroom Queen) and have some WvW tokens you can buy a Notarized Scroll of Maguuma Heroics.

Ah, found some randomly, ty. Was asking mostly because of Champion Mushroom Queen - can't map complete without her. Really hate that HP, it's such a pain to get to on top of being annoying. It was a complete wipe fest with 6 people and I can't really do much either when I try to kill it on a class I don't play much.

Content for the sake of content. They ought to take a break from this mindless LW content and fix some stuff for a change. Making older stuff relevant again would be great.

Well, in all honesty, it's not that bad once you get acquainted with your class, the maps and mobs. The only thing that really matters is that you kill stuff before it kills you (do a berserker build and learn when to move/dodge). Upgraded mounts also help tremendously with moving around in those maps. I just hope the new expansion mobs don't have any irritating mechanics... Can't stand those invulnerable griffons flying around me or stunlocks - turns fun into frustration.

You need only check your materials storage to see an enormous discrepancy between the maxed out stashes and the nigh-empty ones. > > ANet take years to sort out straightforward, simple issues (Faction Provisioners, for example); it's safe to say there's no chance of a rebalancing coming out in our lifetimes. Well, without constant demand crafting is destined to fail. Daily trades will give at least a bit of value to useless materials. The MC complaints they could also address overnight with a tradeable NPC trash item with a fixed buy/sell price. I don't dare expect more of them, they're so fixated on those boring LW releases instead of taking their time to fix a thing or two properly.

I would love not having to drag my front paws through the dirt.

Bruh, just do dailies, daily crafting, AB meta, pinata, park some characters to farm some chests or nodes. It's super low effort and provides a steady gold income

More content I'll ignore. Spending your time playing the game should feel rewarding and worth your time - Anet going the opposite way with some of their achievements and collections.
