They should indeed reduce the amount of unidentified gear dropped ( at first i though i had been only lucky, but if you say so... ).

The Nightmares one indeed.

Not sure about Aetherkeys if would be worth the shot.

Prices dropped.

I am not sure but i think is something related to ls4 ( i didn't play nor i know how the new map is supposed to work ).

However, Mithril, Elder wood and silk cloth have now a higher price.

If some mounts are going to be expensive and some reasonable, then that isn't that bad. But if our only options going forward are holiday mounts, random mounts or expensive mounts, that sucks.

Err, Random mounts Pack was 9600, which is exactly 320 gems per mount as the spooky pack.

It is obvious that outside the bundle mounts cost more ( 25% more ).

Individual mounts do have work behind them if compared to recolor or slightly reskins, and there's no disagree about this.

About the price i am not sure ( as i am not sure about the effort needed in order to create an outfit, an amor or a mount. Which requires more time i mean ).

Don't forget to buy the copper salvage omatic before anything else!

> Thats a very hard thing to do, if you had the same mindset as me you would know why. Everyone playing the game is using the waypoints so if i was to just not use them i would be unnecessarily setting my self back. They system is there because you are supposed to use it, thatts the way the game was made. I would in way be trying to make a game that i like within the game that it is. That would just be silly.

Not at all.

GW2 is mostly a SP in a MMO scenario.

* Core events are meant not to TPs

* HoT maps are just a flow of ppl who follow a long meta event

* PoF has no WPs, as you like, but you get mounts so you can shorten the dinstances.

Also, WvW, SPvP, Raids, Fractals, Dungens, etc... are not WPs related, so just the outdoor PvE is.

Your choice to use or not it.

As you can chose to dismount with the attack or not in order to allow others to tag.

A very hard thing to do... as sombody were forcing you... ;)

The only bad things about achies numbers was to put behind them skins imho.

I see no sense in a skin which needs year to be obtained.

Give random stuff which has a value and can be bought instead... sigh... ( i am only glad that provvided skins are not something i relally need, but still that system sucks ).

Really :lol:

> @Zeusx.2906 said:

The low number of WP in PoF is somehow balanced ( hell no :lol: ) due to the introduction of mounts, but the time sink in terms of movements is worst than CORE.

About HoT, it's all meta meant, so you follow the flow regardless the WPs ( or just swap zone with the dedicated WP ).

PoF has no meta and no WP compared to the other maps, which imho sucks.

If somebody feels the urge to not use WP and to walk by mount in order to lose time and "enjoy" more the game, good for him.

But please instead of asking about WP, he should simply not use them.

edit: i forget to say that the number of WP is lower if you compare CORE/HOT to PoF. Imagine that pof has larger maps and only 5 WPs.

Hmm

> Fixed a bug in which the Branded wyvern would become immortal and sentient, and then it would start to create skins for 3000 gems each.

Skynet is real.

> Mount skins are style items, and style items have some unique challenges. They’re subject to individual taste, so except for the very flashiest items, individual style items will have limited sales. Also, GW2 isn’t setup to support an enjoyable experience of browsing through a large catalog of style items, so players tend not to do that. **What our data shows is that higher-priced flashy individual items can work, and lower-average-price-per-item bundles can work, but lower-priced individual items generally don’t generate meaningful revenue to support the game. And the whole point of these items is to support the game**.

An example would have been nice, but since it was a concise post i can pretty understand him.

I just hope that players could now better understand the meaning of his words, about how gw2 makes money and why a lower-priced individual item does not generate enough ( mostly because of the golds > gems system ).

I do agree with him, but i would like to know what about WvW and SPvP balance.

I mean, since Gemstore is not necessarily related to those modalities, could there be a way to give more resources to them?

Could SPvP and WvW players be able to do anything?

Though i know that MO won't read this post.

You mean which level should you be in order to learn a crafting discipline?

Here's the wiki https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Crafting

Seems that there's no requirement at all in order to learn one of them.

Here's the guide you should follow ( one of many ) in order to level up your crafting discipline without wasting materials

http://gw2crafts.net/

To me it would be bad only because after that players will start to claim even more like:

* why does the hard more gives those rewards and story mode doesn't

* why do you need the achievement from the hard mode in order to do X/Y

* why no legendary materials from story mode

And so on.

Let's be honest, once you give something to the community, the community itself starts to complain on something else ( or simply claim more ).

Raids are meant to be a slightly challenging content, with its own reards and achievements.

A story would mean more work for the team, which could instead work on something else ( i am sure that you noticed that unlike wow which has more resources, gw2 content tends to come out slowly if compared. We don't need A blue dungeon and a slightly blue dungeon. We need more content ).

1/5 of those who voted would pay 2k for a mount.

Now just imagine if it was lets say a 1% ( 20% is unrealistic ) of the total playerbase.

It would be a total win for them by so far.

Good for the winners and you sky for the idea \o

And still no raptor nor jackal skin has a hat nor a monocle.

I can understand the Jackal one since its theme would have hardly allowed a hat, but the Raptor could have had!

However, since 2 are already out, let's focus on what's left.

Specifically on springer...


I would like to see a Waistcoat on it, and maybe a monocle and a Bowler hat man.


The images are from the net, but i think the suggestion is clear :blush:

Not sure about skrimmer and griffon, but i don't really care to be honest ( nor i have ideas ).

That's why i am grateful to all big kind whales.

Because of them no sub nor premium nor other things.

They are definitely feeding us.

Just like with the Miniatures window, the Gliders window, the Finishers window, etc., players would/could/do go to the Mount window to preview Mount skins. Since they do go there, that's why there are links to the Gem Store on any locked skin/mini/glider, etc.

>

> Regardless, good luck on the suggestion.

There were issues with the preview, like touch of madness focus.

Having the chance to try it ( and maybe dye it ) would be a totally different thing.

Though i am not positive that this will ever happen.

* **Recolor** > 400gems

* **Slightly reskin** > 800gems

* **Particulate effects/reskin** > 1200gems

* **Total reskin** > 2000gems

* **Different beast** ( though i doubt it will ever happens ) > 2000+gems

Though i accept RNG, i doubt i will ever try RNG on mount skins.

This would be good.

I would be also up for something mixed like Asccessories ( Laurels + ectos ), in order to provvide a slightly gold/material sink.

About the ones you suggested

>* Legendary collection start unlocks (Not the collection-items itself, just the collection unlock)

>* Raid mastery track unlock. (For players who want to be max-mastery number without actually raiding)

>* **The return of WvW XP consumables for laurels**.

>* **New receipes, miniatures, rare materials, infusions, runes and sigils**

>* Premium storage bags (between 20 and 28 slots)

>* **PvP stronghold hero unlocks**

>* **One exclusive, multi-dyable skin for every mount exclusively available with laurels**.

I put in bold the ones i think would fit the system.

About the others

* **Raid mastery track unlock** would only be a compulsive thing, so maybe instead of 50 laurels, just pay ectos for unlock. Easier.

* A **28 slot bag**, which is soulbound and not account bound, is worth around 80/90g. The price could simply be 25 laurels + 50g or something like this, but even so i fear it could harm the gamble in the casino for supreme rune of holding.

* Legendary collection start unlock needs mastery and a few golds and karma ( 5g + 10k karma... not a big deal ).

I am sorry for the purchase of account jump start.

Go for LS3 \o

Hi, i didn't play the ls4 yet ( i did the first part but for now i guess i will wait ) but instead i noticed that market changed somehow.

1. Leather price is dropping

2. Ores/Clothing price is slightly incrasing

3. Wood price is incrasing ( yesterday it went over 2s per piece )

4. PoF exotics needed for specialization are dropping

I can guess that the metal/wood thing is something new focus related, but the rest?

Is there a new way to get Exotic or a chest as LS4 reward which allows you to chose 1 of em?

What about leathers and clothes?
