I think you misunderstood something. Theres not remotely that many collections this far.

Theyve said already that LS5 is comming. Think about it, if they said GW2 was ending, then it would be killing off the golden goose that is the gemstore. This is just needless worry. Dont take the ending of ls4 as the end of the game. Its continuing.

I hate feeling like I have to rush to finish the kitten thing each day and can't stop to just...play fractals with friends or anything like that because if I don't finish it before reset, I have to wait another 24 hours before I can do anything. It's unneeded stress and frustration for a collection I'd otherwise really enjoy.

Many of my friends started the collection for the mount and were taking their time because they didn't think it had some stupid time gate to it. Then when they found out it was gated, they started rushing it.

Content is still fun (and is subjective anyways) and players still have options to experience it ... as far as I can see, those philosophies still stand.

> > > No sorry, the real reason you are causing a fuss about this is because you want to rush it to completion ASAP.... and then what, what will you be doing when you have it completed - logoff until next content update (hardly great for ANET from a business perspective) OR will you go about playing out all the other content options you have at your fingertips especially new map and new content (if so what is stopping you doing while your waiting for the next skyscale content to become available??)

> > > No sorry the " ANET force me to rush cos reset" is just a very poor attempt to smokescreen the "I want it, I want it NAOW" mentality, nothing more.

> >

> > Actually no. It's quite clear some people have difficulty with reading comprehension here. Sure, some might want to rush to completion but some of us would like to feel like we can stop and start whenever we want. The main issue is the time gate on top of numerous bloated collections that take hours to complete. The collections themselves aren't the problem, it's perfectly fine to have a collection be big like this. But to make it so you can't start the next collection until a reset happens? And if you failed to finish the previous before the reset you now have to wait 24 hours again? I'd like to be able to work on it, take a break to go do something else, then come back to it and not feel like I screwed myself over because I finished the collection 10 minutes after reset and now have to wait another day. It's entirely pointless to have the time gate, especially when you've hyped it up and claim it'll drop on the patch day, May 14th, when in actuality...who fckin knows when we'll actually be able to have one. Most people probably still won't have one by the time the guild chat for it even happens on the 24th. Casual players or those with busy schedules should be able to log on, work on the collections for the time they have, the come back to it when they finally have time again without feeling like they're losing out. It punishes those people more than the people that have nothing to do but play GW2 all day.

> >

> > I actually have no issue with the charged quartz crystal time gate alone, haven't gotten to it yet but it sounds like you just feed them and move on. Sucks to have to wait another day but at least it doesn't eat 6+ hours of what little play time I get and I can actually like...go do something else. But it stacked on top of each collection having it's own daily reset time gate makes it unbearable.

>

> Nope sorry not buying that excuse.

> Your available time in game is not ANET's problem. Other player may have the same issues just at different times of day. If you miss a reset so what, the skyscale will still be there and your not being disadvantaged in anyway that is just simply rubbish. Time gates are utilised for a reason but saying you have to login, rush to get stuff done before reset is just "it's not fair I want it naow" nothing more

Well said, its nothing but entitlement and impatience. You are not paying a subscription, so you can play at the pace you are able to and you will still eventually get it.

Characters below level 80 have no business in living world zones, its strictly level 80 content.

guild wars 2 is doing just fine, dont be tinfoil hatting. Its their other projects that didnt turn out well.

And people can do them, just takes time, or buy things on tp. Needless hyperbole. Plus the fact that anet just hid the mastery so the slower ones isnt hampered by lack of spirit shards from pof zones.

I am well aware of you can buy it. Been saying it multiple times.

LS5 is comming. Dont panic.

Theres specialist bags for practically everything. Invisible bags is perfect for storing what you dont want to have showing up at merchants

A few crossplayers might not cause an issue. But imagine it would be in the thousands or tens of thousands? Now that would choke up things a great deal.

> >i need 22 days to complete the charged i need

> You need 12 charged crystals and you can use 3 of them each day. This makes the time gate 12 days IF you are making the items on your own. But the items you make with the charged crystals are on the TP. So if you buy them there you can lower the time gate to 4 days.

> How exactly did you come with these 22 days, which I see everywhere?

> I am literally at the 6th stage atm and will feed 3 more times tomorrow which makes it 9 and Sunday I will be done with this part of the collection.

it takes 10 charged crystals to make the grow lamp. You give it as a toy in a collection at the same stage as feeding it.

You have 3 options:

1: Buy gems for gold

2: Suck it up and wait 22 days

3: Actually do events to earn the gold to buy it.

You can buy your way out of this timegate, so play the game and earn the gold needed. Plenty of profitable areas.

Only had it a few times, and only on the skimmer. And that was even with skins, so that doesnt solve the issue.

Not going to happen, charged crystals is an old timegate in the game. And celestial armor is quite popular in WvW.

Dont forget you can mine quartz in dry top and it has a small chance of yielding charged quartz. As well get the quartz home instance node for even more chances.

Do the highly profitable dragonfall map and earn gold which to buy the stuff with.

Revenants just got nerfed pretty hard. But heralds need help in pve.

The community will never be able to agree on whats needed to be balanced. Theres just too much screeching with differing oppinions. Those whom is unwilling to adapt to other builds. If it beat me, then it must be overpowered. And those whom doesnt want to let go of their overtuned fotm builds is unwilling to concede its bad.

For every change made, there will always be doomsayers and pouty ones proclaiming the game is ruined and they will leave.

Its not that difficult to locate the exact area if pouring over the map to compare with the cutout. Helps that Dragonfall is divided into four distinct areas, narrowing down the search area.

Also in second collection set, that one with x50 to find, most is shown with a small icon on the map. For third set just use wiki to locate the appropiate monsters and npcs needed.

Google is your friend.

Only one grow lamp is needed, which is 10 charged quartz, and x12 food. A total of 22 charged quartz indeed.

And the food is a 4 day timegate, so noone is on next step yet. The fastest is on second day of feeding.

edit: The grow lamp is given as a toy to the newborn skyscale.

so far all timegates in the game have reset at daily reset afaik. Like the druid stone backpack in draconis mons.

The 4 djiins encounter cannot be soloed for sure, as you have to fight 4 champions at once in the second mega collection to unlock multiple lines

You cant expect anet to cater to a minority when the wast majority have no issues with JPs.

Monsters go invulnerable if they are currently pathing to a position. Like where they are supposed to be, and you dont gain agro from them, just stop attacking them.

I play a necro with minions, and I have no issues getting out of combat, the increased agro you claim the world about is a nonissue. You only feel it now because of mounts.

Are you certain you finished all of saving skyscales?

The grow lamp have steadilly been rising in price all day, definitely not exploding. You had plenty of time from this morning.

you dont pay a subscription. And you got Dragonfall for free by logging in.
