Randulf.7614

No probs!

No, but the only ones it would likely be related to in case it helps narrow your search - Beetle collection - Skyscale collection - Something for the Sunspear Refuge - A legendary weapon or legendary accessory collection Short of anything related to that chapter (and I'll assume you checked that already), I can't think of anything else released since that episode that would send you back to Kamadan

> @"deatine.2498" said: > I may be getting old and stupid but I didn't even understand what to do. How do you know that you have to slay ogres or whatever in the fields of ruin? I see the progress for the community event in the eye of the north, but no info on what to do for it. The NPC with the orange icon above her head will direct you via dialogue to achievements. For ease there are two sets outside of the story journal - Daily: Champion. This is where the ogre stuff is - Bonus Events. The first achievement is for spending 5 seal tokens if memory serves. That unlocks the tiered community ones where you contribute by spending tokens on the ebon vanguard bags at the ebon vanguard token vendor It's all there, but as usual Anet have not made it as clear as they could have. Yes the NPC gives you a vgaue idea, but there is no reason not to have been explicit. It simply comes down to their complete disregard for communicatioon in and out of game.

HoT is fine as it is as long as you don't skip the early content. Steam is delayed because of the expansion and possibly because of the server issues in LS4 and PoF which they are still trying to fix. Nothing to do with HoT at all and zero parallels to Wildstar (which just wasn't a great MMO from what I played of it). I don't think of HoT as a masterpiece because of how much they said they had to shelve and how short the story was cut down to. But, I did love the maps at the time and it had huge replay value. As much as I loved PoF, it didn't have the staying power of HoT - I found myself constantly doing VB event chains over and over, not to mention the meta bosses. So far I've found the expac experience in GW2 far superior to the LS experience

That's not going to happen - and if it did, the game would lose a lot of players. Pretty certain the poster isn't being serious

Whilst I know you aren't being serious, 33-63m karma is not normal for a player. I've played this game most days since launch and I doubt I've even earnt that cumulatively in that time

And for the first time, no boring dragons. > Yes balthazar cliffhanger ruin everything but the rest is really good > Far far more better than the actual boring saga > The problem for many was that ls3 jumped around never staying on track, had a bizarre Balthazar reveal and a completely awful final episode which actually allowed you to join the shining blade as a charr followed by a far too rapid tie up of the Mursaat plot. It simply tried to do too many things whilst still heavily focused on the Dragon story and raising Aurene (ugh) It wasn’t all bad. Some great maps (except bitterfrost and sirens landing imo), lots of variety and seeing Primordus despite his huge model change was pretty epic. (The dragons did feature in ls3, two episodes entirely devoted to them)

Thank you for the info

Is this still happening post-hotfix?

According to Reddit and some bug threads, there's a warrior trait and a chat code string causing crashing outs

I rarely have more than 1 - 1.5 mil at any given time. I seem to find ways to spend it every episode in enough quantities to outweigh what I gain

Yes it can, it just takes longer.

Which verndor offers them at the EotN, though? :) The same vendor as the trident - the Ebonhawke one The shoulders I've only seen linked, I haven't looked into how to get. I'm sure someone will chime in with that info

The other skins aren't showing because you own them - they are the same ones you get from Karma vendors in Ebonhawke.

Yes I was thinking of the Mordrem blooms as well. And the Karka Invasion fiasco. At least this is playable, it's just lacking

https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/119404/we-still-cannot-progress-in-story-or-is-it-a-bug#first No there is no new DRMs

ALso, buying 5 skins unlocked the community tier achievement, so that helped

You don't even need to do the DRM's. Just exchange materials or do Field of Ruins - events and Ogre kills. The daily achievements give the tokens

> @"Jilora.9524" said: > I mean it's 10k karma or some easy marks. Some might not have ton karma and rather spend crystals I mean I agree - tokens are far, far quicker to grab than Karma which is a very precious resource for me and needed for a few things and in a couple of days I'll have the set. I'd certainly never, ever buy the skins for karma. But then again, I'd never use the skins. I'm not sure many would get them beyond filling up their wardrobe

> @"pareth.3847" said: > I assumed "The next event, mobilizing the Ebon Vanguard, will begin on December 1." would have some way to actually progress in the story. There's no incentive at all to participate in that. I was hoping for a story step to save my progress - because if I want to replay some other story on my main, I lose all progress up to now - and I don't want that. Guess it's back to working on my revenant. Many people assumed the same. It comes down to a lack of clear communication and a rather poor event implementation. Not sure why they thought doing LS this way was the best solution, but it seems safe to say this it until January now

> @"Vavume.8065" said: > I don't see any weapons, only the Trident, which you cannot buy anywhere else. If you own the skins already, they don't show in the vendor box

Sadly, they never said new content this week, just new community event - which is what we got. Any info about new content this week was purely community speculation

The 10 currency trident can't be iirc though
