Professional Skritt is my favourite because I like shiny things :D
Honestly I usually just have a random raid title or Dancing With Demons, kinda took most of the fun out of titles to me when having to change it to that every time I want to do 100CM (which is usually daily).
Otherwise I really like Leader of the Yak, but mostly because I spent hours scouting home borderland Hills and escorting dollies there, fond WvW memories! Chicken Chaser, Slippery Slubling, Yakslapper and Silent Killer are good ones too though!

I need to check the forums more often it seems :D I'll throw you guys an invite when I get on later :)

Noticed this bug today also, and it seems like a bug with the instability itself and not tied to a specific fractal. Getting hit whilst having aegis up puts weakness onto you, it doesn't seem specific to having a boon stripped from you - not sure about the interaction with Headbutt.

Recruitment is still open, come try your friendly neighbourhood pineapple guild today! :3
On the 19th of September to celebrate International Talk Like A Pirate Day we're having a Pirate-themed party in the guild hall, complete with a pirate jumping puzzle, a mount race and a pun-off! We'll be giving out prizes for each, and an infusion for the best dressed pirate!

Had an experienced CM group doing this on T4 (normal) and found the Fractal to be quite underwhelming.
I loved the visuals - it's beautiful and I could sure spend a lot of time there. I even especially enjoyed the letter achievement, it was fun to hunt for them and they were very cute to read.
The fights however... they were just way too easy in my opinion, up until the final boss. There's nothing interesting about them, they're just gentle HP sponges. I understand that it's supposed to teach you the mechanics of the last boss, but they just feel really undertuned, especially the water part? I didn't really understand it, you just stack and kill a giant rock. The final boss was much better, easy to follow and understand what to do and there's a good level of difficulty there.
Overall it's a great length for an extra daily fractal, I enjoy it enough, but I think some parts are too easy - the foes have a tiny HP pool and the breakbars are ridiculously small. I enjoy the style of leading up to this big end boss encounter.

Imagine believing they owe you this.
Tickets usually take longer than that for a response, especially if they are receiving a lot of tickets about an issue that they are trying to resolve.
On a side note, the 2FA emails have started coming through for me instantly again.
-
I'm also unable to log in via 2FA using email, the email never arrives. It works for my alt account using SMS.

I got this to work two ways - the first is to hold down C before the "reset" message comes up, as the guy explained above. The second, I just did it "on foot" with a Soulbeast - use your skimmer as normal at the beginning, then barrel roll into the first underwater one. Make sure you can give yourself permanent swiftness or superspeed, I also used the dash 3 times on ranger spear #3. There is a section in the middle where you can skimmer up again before going underwater a 2nd time. Towards the end, Skimmer as soon as the bubble is on the water's surface then quickly swap to jackal or raptor when on the dry land. I made it with several seconds to spare.
Obviously a fix is needed, but that will work in the meantime. You could probably do it on any class.

Why? You can get those from anywhere? None of that is "acceptable" to be honest, you just want things for free even if it wouldn't make sense for the birthday gift.
I'd rather have this enrichment over those, it feels way more special, even if the karma isn't that needed for me. Birthday gifts have never been giant rewards, they're just fun cosmetics and small boosts to help you out.

This.
I also think a unique infusion is a pretty good 8th Birthday gift, but that's just me.

You are both wrong. You can literally see it under Morale Breaker. It is for completing the final tier and does not show like the one at t1 and t3.

Yeah I was confused more as to why you'd skip something that takes about 3 minutes and still gives gold, and also how you'd skip it? You do VG and get an opener for Gorse? It just doesn't seem that efficient.

With all do respect to people who do have legendary pvp and wvw armor. All they truly have to do is participate vs in pve you actually have to kill 150 raid kills + get certain bosses and doing tasks. Even though it tech isn’t hard to do for legendary pve armor, it is harder to majority of the player base in gw2. Therefore the people who put more effort in get a less time gate.

> I wonder if you know how expensive a kill is. The price does go higher and lower depending on the boss however let’s say it’s 400 gold per boss. 400 x 150 = 60,000 gold. Depending on the fluctuations of gem to gold conversion that’s pretty steep for just the first set. However that’s a flat rate. And most likely carrying someone through the heart achievements would most likely cost more since it would cost more time since 2 of the heart achievements the player can not die even if the boss is killed. However that’s just the first set. The second and third set is 300 LI for 1 set. So it’s 120,000 gold for the second and third set. Total if the person bought all 3 sets 400 x 750 = 300,000 gold. That’s some massive cheddar for a video game.
> However I don’t sell and I never bought. All I know is the gold does fluctuate higher or lower depending on the bosses. So it could be higher or lower then this assumption depending on the seller.
Yeah... but buying a full wing, or even every full wing, will probably get you a hefty discount. The OP has to remember that the cost is being split among 6-9 people and has to be worth it for each of them cost wise, however.
But you are way off for 400g/boss. A Samarog CM, for example, is around 275MC~ which is less than 450g~, and it's one of the harder CMs, regular bosses (especially W1-4) will go for *way* less than that. I'd say Dhuum is the highest value normal kill in the region of 150MC. (I am not a raid seller, but I do know some)
It is still going to be thousands of gold, but nowhere near 120,000 :p

You skip Spirit Run? The event between VG and Gorseval, which also gives an LI, every week? :no_mouth:
@panzerdragon.8791
I actually take it back. Assuming 64g from liquid gold, 10-15g from exotics, AND you selling the Djinn Doubloon for 10-15g profit, it's pretty close to 90g. Obviously take a couple of gold off for food, and know that it could be less than 10g from exotics some weeks, and there is still TP fees, but aside from the 5g-10g/boss thing, what you said is not that far from the truth. I did not factor in the doubloon with the exotics correctly above.
I still argue that raids are not good purely for gold, if you consider the time it takes for an average player with no static to make a full clear. But if you find them fun, then... it's a really nice bonus each week.

That's why I said "one Cold War" and "or try it *daily* for 10 days to get your 2nd".

Assuming you buy W1-7 every week, you're getting 25LI a week (15 LI and 10 LD), assume you can get W1-4 for 30g each and W5-7 for 100g each, you're still paying over 2000g and the armour is still 300-350g/piece to craft.

Quite frankly the raids are dull to me. Now I can honestly say I haven't even attempted w5-7, mainly because I cant stand the raiding community in GW2 to begin with. Second to that, PvE already gets the unique skin which arguably is probably one of the few reasons people even "attempt" to go the raid route.

> WvW is still going to require a gross amount of time to farm the mats, tickets, and honor. WvW alone requires ~18 hours every week just to hit the weekly pip counter to get your cap of tickets. This is assuming you are maintaining participation, have not skipped a week (for the +1 pip for previous week), and that you're at least a somewhat decent rank. Being a full-time commander is the only suitable route for anyone who wants to acquire the legendary armor set in a reasonable time in WvW.

They also have to do the collection, farm the materials SPECIFIC to the PvE set and collections. You also need map currencies and metas which take a long time, and that you cannot just buy. You also need specific masteries, this also takes time. Yes there is no weekly time gate on *those* things, but a person can only play so much per day, and if you're assuming they're already spending 18 hours a week raiding... where do they get their other time to do the rest?
If you are a WvW player in general, then the WvW set is much faster to get, as you get a lot more pips and will have skirmish tickets from previous playtime. That's how it should be, no? Same if you're PvP player, you will already have some of the materials.
Your argument is not "WvW and PvP takes longer to get and that's bad" it's "a PvE player with only a credit card can get their PvE legendary armour before a PvE player that has never played WvW or PvP before can get WvW or PvP legendary armour"
You're trying to word everything to be in favour of YOUR opinion/argument and that's not really how it works.
Also, I tacked on the cost of the armour because it makes the total gold cost in the several thousands. This is relevant if you're converting gems to gold for the whole thing.

Personally I think it's awful that they don't just include it with the price of the game, or add it as an option on higher tiers of purchase (somewhat equal to the cost of an existing player having to buy them (or just make them free if you have the relevant expansion... but I guess they lose too much money there?). It's silly to spend so much money and getting the expansions, and then having to pay more to unlock the "middle" parts of the story between them both. I have had a lot of players in my guild that have been confused that they didn't get that when they bought the game.
I say this as someone who unlocked every single episode for free also.

The footprint sizes are exactly the same. Maybe it is your graphics options?

But if you do a wing from W1-4 expecting 5-10g/boss you're gonna end up really disappointed. It's really RNG on what exotic you have drop, and whether it is armour or a weapon.

The Djinn doubloon is 39g at sell price, and costs 150 crystals + 20g, so you're gaining about 15g from that after fees, assuming you can sell it at sell price and do not have other uses for the crystals. The Peerless Infusion is around 390g and costs 2000 crystals + 20g, it takes a while to get 2000 crystals and is less profit than the doubloon. I can't think of a single item for magnetites that gives any sort of profit. Correct me if I'm wrong.

No, the average is not 3g. Only one wing of W1-4 is doubled, and only one wing of W5-7 is doubled. That makes the average 2.57g assuming they all have the same number of encounters, which they do not - some have 3 some have 4. This makes it 64g not 75g. That is 15% less than what you're saying.
Raiding still makes good gold, but it's probably something that you do not do ONLY for the gold. Wing 5 and 6 are especially difficult.

Spirit Run in Spirit Vale does not have a boss, yet gives gold and an LI. Gate in W7 also gives gold, but not an LD.

You could not be more wrong. A kill of Dhuum or Qadim 1 is more than 50g just on their own. You do not NEED to pay your way through WvW or PvP to get the armour, if doesn't matter how much you lose or die because you always get progress as long as you're participating.
The discounted set is still 25 li per piece and requires you to do the first 2 collections of Envoy Armour. Assuming you buy W1-7 every week, you're getting 25LI a week (15 LI and 10 LD), assume you can get W1-4 for 30g each and W5-7 for 100g each, you're still paying over 2000g and the armour is still 300-350g/piece to craft. You'd have to be pretty fucking dedicated to do that and it probably applies to less than 1% of players. It's a really invalid point to say the armour is "credit cardable".
You also forget that the Ectoplasmic Residue that you need 10 of is RNG based and you may not have it all within 6 weeks. If this is the case, you cannot progress to the next set. There's so many things that you still have to do and cannot simply just buy. It is no way in hell 3-4 hours a week, you are only counting an incredibly fast raid buy with no wipes and no time spent searching for it.
It's just a ridiculous post to be honest.

> Where’s your math behind this? Full clears have never yielded that much for me unless I get a lucky drop. I get about half of what you’re claiming.
You can get 25 LI/LD a week, which essentially means you get 25 liquid gold rewards. Assuming the two double wings are W1 and W7, you're getting 28g from those and 36g from the remaining ones. I can't for the life of me remember how much gold you get from Gate and Bandits before Sabetha, but add those on too. It's a lot of gold, but it also takes a fair bit of time (the less time the more experienced you/your group are). This means 64g, add up the exotics you get drop, it goes up even more, but it's RNG at that point. It's still rarely going to be 90g after food, and 15g of that requires you to spend all the gaeting crystals you get that week.
Inventory Buttons - [Merged]

I never realised how many people hate the compact feature, but I can never close my inventory without pressing it out of habit. I really like the order it is - I deposit my stuff and then compact it to make it neat again. I think it makes perfect sense.
I use invisible bags at the bottom of my inventory to keep everything I want in place, I couldn't imagine having things in random slots or moving everything manually.
At the end of the day, it's just going to take everyone a little bit of time to get used to where the buttons they want to use are, and I don't think there's anything wrong with how it is.
