Dark Red Killian.3946

One thing that can hurt lfg for a single instance of Whispers of Jormag is that most people like to do groups to run all strikes. You will find some guilds that do this daily or every other day. I recommend to find a good guild. Another way is to wait for the daily Whispers. You should be able to post for groups and get some hits then. Best way is guild cause then they can teach you mechanics too. I know this doesn’t solve the problem overall, but there are some really good guilds out there that truly help players both old and new.

Instead of Braham becoming champion of primordous, maybe he is trying to wake primordous to balance the recent rising of Jormag. Jormag is starting to become too powerful so awaking primordous will balance their power out. Then we will have to deal with the fallout somehow.

Otherwise it is wasted space if it bleeds into your bank space. Look, that’s not my point. I am offering a suggestion for using less utilized materials. I did not ask for suggestions on what to do with my extra materials. Hate when people do that.

I don’t mind there being 6 because you can save a lot of templates in the shares storage, but I want to be able to save my equipment templates too.

What I am gettin bored of is a new weapon set I feel like on almost every release of ice brood saga. I mean they could make another armor set as we have had one full set the whole saga, and two partial sets but those are more thematic. I want an ascended runic set that can be upgraded to legendary or something. That could help the longevity of icebrood saga replayability. The volcanic sets could stand have more chance to get them. Although with two more episodes maybe they will become easier to get with more mastery? I can hope this is the case. But I agree no point in mastery points locked behind, because you will get all you need in mastery points before you even get one piece of the set.

> @"Cameron Rich.3905" said: > Wanted to let you know we're looking into this and hope to have a fix out ASAP. Hi Cameron, is there any comment on the status of fixing this bug which has plagued Sunqua since release? I think many people don’t enjoy the fractal because of the bug. Imagine doing this T4 for a daily, getting wrecked at the end, and getting the bug, which you have no choice but to restart. Most people just leave the group at that point, waisting more time to start another group. To top it off once you do complete the T4, turn around and there is the T3 rec, same Sunqua. I’d like to think there is some pride in releasing a great fractal such as this, but with a release bug still out there I feel like it is just another release and forget about it. I mean I can’t tell you how many times I hear of one fractal bug getting fixed or another one, and I feel like this bug should have taken precedence before other non-essential bugs get squashed. Is it just that difficult to locate and fix? It so can there be some kind of workaround programmed in?

One morning I posted an lfg or something like W1 all welcome or something like that. To my surprise we got a full group. Only time doing raids but we got the kill on Vale Guardian so I got the masteries unlocked. Try a post yourself, maybe ask for roles, but say all welcome so people aren’t expecting KP or anything. Some exp guys may join just to help out like they did with my group.

The only thing I'm doing is to get all the recipes for both collections and thats it, for the achieve points. I can only imagine what other grind collections for the next 2 living world episodes, I don't even call them episodes more like here is more grind content because we have nothing worthwhile to actually give you. Sorry but pass on any more future god awful grind fest collections. Is Arenanet taking a page from Black Desert Online? To me it seems so with the grind. I would have preferred two types of recipes. One that uses the first dragon slayer weapon that you made, along with a few minor materials to make the upgrade, and the other one being make from scratch.

Don’t get in the mindset of having to grind them. I started out trying to train through and do all drms and cms in one sitting and realized that is exhausting. I stopped that and just do a DRM cm just by doing one or two of dailies, and moved on. Some I soloed, some I grouped. I have done the first four achievements leaving the last 3 where I have done 1 or 2. I just finished where I had enough for the stretch emote. No sweat, no grinding.

I’m hoping they are just being secretive and releasing it as unlockable with the finale of icebrood saga, after delivering a mediocre finale.

> @"Linken.6345" said: > You can get the infusion more then once for defense seals cant you? I obtained it through the deldrimor support marks. Now it is not available through the defense seal vendor.

They could make the daily achievement goal a repeatable achievement similar to how they do festival achievements. It shows the ap you can earn in the daily panel, like 10 points. And it is repeatable so if you go into the daily panel you can see your total ap earned from the daily achievement out of a max of 15k. Once you hit 15k, the repeatable achievement is still there, but it won’t show the 10 AP anymore. You would still get the 2g daily.

More chapters to come in my opinion means possibility of increased rewards with increased masteries obtained, making it better to replay once you are max mastery. It is dull right now because the episode is not complete yet. This keeps new people from jumping right in and getting the max rewards without putting in the effort to get the masteries.

I don't see how making something of great cost more useful could be a bad thing. The whole appeal of legendary items is that you never have to grind/buy another when you unlock them. All this does is make it easier and more convenient then having to bank swap every time you want to play a new character. Not only that arenanet doesn’t have to come up with new ways to get more trinkets. Currently you can only get one copy of vision and aurora.

We're talking about multiple thousends of gold that alot of ppl spend to craft legendary stuff for all of their professions. > I would be amazed if this happened. I requested refund for 7 of my 8 Copper-Feds during shared inventory release, and that was an indisputable no-no. In all reality you are not getting free copies of anything. You still have to grind and spend your hard earned gold to make the legendaries. Not an easy feat for casuals. Not to mention you can swap gear currently between characters. This is just making it easier to swap and making a huge improvement to the template system that really is needed. It’s not like can you play two of your characters at once so really it would just be as if you were sharing your armor. Transmutations are another story, but I’ll let the develepers figure that mess out.

> @"Firebeard.1746" said: > A massive change that needs to be made to LA is that the different gear templates you have can be transmogged separately for the same legendary. Many people Identify their gear based on appearance, and currently if you transmute an equipped legendary in one gear template, it appears the same in all others. This will severely limit the usability of the LA for people that specialize many gear templates for 1 character. I do agree that this change to allow transmutation for different templates on legendary gear would be usefull. Currently you can’t do that if you have just legendary gear. I think it would make it more worthwhile if people could do this with legendaries.

Yeah I never had a problem with the first three DRMs and doing public, but with the next 4 and being harder, I find myself dying a lot because the enemies scale up and are tougher to solo. You have to try to find other players and invite them to party. The cohesion is difficult in public too so sometimes it’s just easier to solo.

> @"Excursion.9752" said: > I fear that they are going to use this as the next big thing for the expansion. HoT got gliders. PoF got mounts. EoD will be legendary Amory. If this is the case I will be upset. Don't get me wrong I want this feature to come out. I just don't want it to be the focal point outside of Cantha. It won’t be the big expansion idea because 1, not everyone makes legendaries so who would buy an expansion just for that, and 2, it’s supposed to be an update to the existing template system. I imagine it will get a release when it’s ready as they always say. I can see this being something unlockable with the end of icebrood saga, or they’ll release it after the expansion once they can dedicate more time to it.

I was wondering this also. I can only assume it is so, but it hasn’t been long enough yet for people to unlock and try.

Like it or not it adds more to the game to do. We now have 7 replayable missions and counting. Rewards are getting added as more factions come.

The alternative is for players to find something better to do with their time without saying a word. I get that and everyone is welcome to their opinion as well. I just wish the boards were more full of constructive critisim, suggestions for improvements, etc, and not just a place where people bitch and complain.

1. The intent of DRMs is replayable content, even after Icebrood Saga is over. 2. Tyrian Defense seals are the permanent currency you get from DRMs. Faction support marks are obtained and usable only during the time that the faction is at the eye of the north. You can continue to use the faction support marks up until the next faction comes, but you will be unable to earn new faction support marks after the weeklong event is over. Once the faction leaves and there are no more community events, the rewards from that faction will be available for purchase using Tyrian Defense Seals from the permanent vendor. 3. Yes, the Tyrian Defense Seal vendor houses all the faction rewards after the faction event is over.

Everyone doesn’t always have to like the new content, but that’s what it is, new content. Like it or not it adds more to the game to do. We now have 7 replayable missions and counting. Rewards are getting added as more factions come. Missions will get easier as masteries progress, and rewards will get amplified. It’s not complete yet, and there’s still room for improvement.

First of all, cms were meant to form a cohesive group to finish them. I don’t believe you have to finish all these achievements to get shiver as there are plenty others to do. Second, DrMs don’t go in LFG for strikes. Try under living world, ice brood saga, champions. Sometimes I see CM groups in there. If not, it takes 5 seconds to post for your own group. There will never be a group unless one gets started by someone. Soloing is totally doable without rezzing the npcs. I ignored them and completed all 4 new drms solo today. You’re not required to keep them alive. Such a lengthy post for nothing it seems.
