Guild Wars 2 V2: GOTY 2017 or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Arenanet - Games

BWE2 is not this weekend, they're still making some fixes from the stress test. [quote=facebook]Many of you have been asking about when we will have our second Beta Weekend Event. As we are approaching a long weekend in many parts of the world, we understand that some of you want to make plans for that. To help you with that we can confirm that we will NOT be running BWE2 this coming weekend. Our BWE1 was super successful, we exceeded our expectations. As some of you might have experienced first hand, this lead to some technical issues. To make sure we are not running into the same situation for BWE2, we recently had a stress test, and we are currently deploying a lot of additional hardware in our datacenters. We will be able to tell you exactly when BWE2 will take place as soon as all the hardware has been deployed. We are not withholding a date intentionally, we want to make sure that BWE2 will be a really great experience for all of you. I hope this helps a bit in understanding where we are standing – you all have a really relaxing long weekend! ~MK[/quote]

I cannot believe I was the last post on that page :([URL="http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1152237?p=36059233&viewfull=1#post36059233"] http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1152237?p=36059233&viewfull=1#post36059233[/URL]

Like I said earlier. "The feeling I am getting is that if it's not this weekend, it will be next weekend."

So I just spent the last two hours and 47k buying War Supplies to find out that I need to finish War in Kryta in order to use them for Oppressor weapons... I'm on the third mission out of 5. [URL="http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Temple_of_the_Intolerable"]Temple of the Intolerable[/URL] IGN Bullet Ng [editline]22nd May 2012[/editline] Fuck it I'm just going to buy an Oppressor weapon straight up. I'm tired of this grinding shit. Would have liked to see the end of the War in Kryta but that doesn't seem like it's going to happen. I have a huge alliance of 8 guilds and no one wants to help me. [editline]22nd May 2012[/editline] Alright so I found some random guy who will run me through the quests for a price.

whats the current plan? like what server is the guild going to? (as in what is the main server) i'd like to know because I plan on mass producing useful items (such as 20 slot bags)

The guy I was going to pay couldn't even finish the mission either! This War in Kryta is hell.

[QUOTE=Vaught;36061102]Told you WiK is unforgiving.[/QUOTE] Yeah but I thought I would've been able to find help much easier than this! I pretty much spent my entire night dying and accomplishing nothing.

[QUOTE=Bullet100;36061176]Yeah but I thought I would've been able to find help much easier than this! I pretty much spent my entire night dying and accomplishing nothing.[/QUOTE] Eh. At this point, no one really does the old content unless they're grinding for HoM points. If anything, do what I did and use the [url=http://www.gwpvx.com/Build:Team_-_7_Hero_Player_Support] 7 Hero Support [/url] build for everything. Zephyr showed me this, has worked wonders everywhere. Some missions limit your heroes, so you'll have to deal with that bullshit. This doesn't make WiK easier, you just won't be shit on at all times. Oh, heads up: When and if you finish WiK, when you go to the two NPC's that trade MoH's, don't trade for the greens. They're not HoM material, oddly enough.

I'm stopping at 30/50 and I will not play this game again (unless to party with you guys). I'd hate to spend more time trying to build my hero's just for one final quest chain. If I cannot find someone to help me tomorrow I will purchase a random Oppressor weapon and be done with it. Not the way I wanted it to end but I can't always get what I want.

I wish I had your kind of money, then I'd probably be at least 24 points in HoM, but hey, why reinvent the wheel when you can just buy what everyone else has done :v ?

A few months ago I quit at 16! I had about 40k and I never thought I would be able to make it anywhere near 20 points. After playing Guild Wars 2 I just had to finish my HoM. Grinded through a bunch of content, got some help from friends, sold a bunch of crap and bought a bunch of cheap/easy points. If you want I can take a look at your HoM and recommend some things? Although I'm sure you know what you're doing.

[url=http://hom.guildwars2.com/en/#page=main&details=glBAAk%2BFAMCAiAgAggjAAAAAAgQAAAAADAAAQAAAAAA] You can recommend away, [/url]but the only things I'm really missing are: Destroyer weapon, 2 more weapons, and a metric fuckton of minipets which I will never amass the proper fortune for.

Well the first thing I recommend that is really easy and cost literally nothing but time is getting your Rare Pet such as the [URL="http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Black_Moa"]Black Moa[/URL]. That was the first thing I did and I didn't even have to create a ranger for that. Just change your secondary profession for a random class and bring along charm. +1 point. Then I would try to get more mini's rolling through. You should have all your character slots filled up. That's where I got most of my pets, but that really only works if you've had the game for a long time. Second I would recommend trying to get one PVP title, such as gladiator or Zaishen. Yes it's going to take FOREVER, but let me tell you it was totally worth it. +3 points Buy two more Prestige Armors (one should be Luxon/Kurzick) +3 Points Since you have little to no money then I would highly suggest staying away from the weapons. I only have one Destroyer weapon and I'm at 29/50. Each weapon costs over 100k + 5e to purchase (unless you have the mats). Don't know if you've heard or even have the [URL="http://www.gwpvx.com/Build:Any/Rt_Spirit_Farmer"]Spirit Farmer build[/URL]. It's the best and easiest way to farm for ecto's which are going for 7k a piece now. You can get 1-2 a run and it's not that difficult. Also considering that the 7 hero build has half the skills already. Getting more pets might be tough considering you need 16-17 for a point, but you can sit in spamadan for a while and see people selling unded pets for 1-5k each. I spread my WTB unded mini's 5k and obtained 10 pets for 50k easy. [editline]22nd May 2012[/editline] Like so: [URL]http://hom.guildwars2.com/en/#page=details&details=glBAAk%2BFAMCAiAgAggjAAAAAAgQAAAAADAAAQAAAAAA&todo=IAACAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAAAQAEAA[/URL] The last point is really up to you. Purchase more Hero Armor (5k per cloth/remnant) or get more mini's (5k again). Oh and I noticed that you only need two more titles to get the 10 Statues. If you get the PvP title and one random other title? Cartographer isn't too bad.

Minis get more expensive each year, though. Idk how many he has, the link doesn't work for me.

[QUOTE=Newbienice99;36061549]Minis get more expensive each year, though.

It would be easy for him to grab more. Hell I have a few extra I'll give him!

I feel rich, I spent 40 ecto on the green miniature point. Also got 31 points yesturday, hero of the zaishen and vabbian armor, which also gave me the full armor display points

[QUOTE=Newbienice99;36061196]Moladune for NA Ring of Fire for EU[/QUOTE] i don't know why we just all go on 1 server, I have an average/slightly below average internet connection and I had almost no connection issues except for the lag spikes which effected everyone (im na west and i selected ring of fire server)

damn boy 40e on a unique? I got one for 50k!

I already have a Black Moa in :p Again, I'm tight on cash after buying mats for my Destroyer weapons, which I'm still short by 3 diamonds and 1 Onyx. I could probably buy a mini at 5k, but what are my chances that they're not ded'd? I've been on and off with Zaishen, mainly because of Hard Mode clearing zones. Running around a spot for an hour or so and hunting down mobs drains me away right quick. Not to mention I'm not a fan of doing Zaishen missions for Faction areas since they're lame as fuck. The Kurzick/Luxon armor has to be my biggest annoyance. Still have to grind 60 Amber chunks altogether to get the whole set, and those things cost 5k faction a piece. If anything, it took a week or so to get 5 chunks :c The easiest weapons to farm would be Oppressor since you can do dailies, grind War Supplies and Orders, and grab MoH's. Iunno about UW being not difficult. Last time I ran there, every pull nearly cost me my life (which it did when some patrol came out of nowhere).

If people in EU play on NA there will be less people online for their timezone.

I think I have exactly 3 diamonds and I can buy you an Onyx. Try not to spend anymore on those weapons though. You have to be rich to finish those up. You can get Zaishen keys doing JQ and FA. You get both Faction and Imperial rewards that you can trade in for Keys. If you're lucky you can get 10-15 keys a day (30 on a weekend-day) I just bought the shards I needed for about 60k. Remember you don't need the headpiece. You can't finish UW with the Spirit Farmer. You just roam half the map solo farming for ecto's, rinse and repeat. It's really simple once you figure it out.

If EU people joined the NA server, they probably wouldn't have nearly as much fun in WvWvW because it'd probably be a ghost town a lot. They wouldn't be able to find as many people to play with during their normal hours, etc etc. Plus, whatever IRL friends they had probably wouldn't want to join a NA server for no reason. Same the other way around.

Something I learned is to focus on one section of your Hall at a time. You will get overwhelmed if you try to do them all at the same time/think about them. That's the reason I quit last year but I learned my mistake. Think about finishing up your Devotion first then move on to Honor or Resilience (You seem to be done with Fellowship).

I don't have the money to pay you back and I wouldn't feel right taking it from you if you offered it for nothing. 10 to 15 keys a day? I feel there's a massive catch here... You don't? Good golly, I've blown over 150k on headpieces. Still, I'd need to earn a good amount of cash to buy the rest. I suppose I could give it a try, but again I'm not a fan of it since it punishes the hell out of you.

Somebody should just donate a couple thousand platinum to me so I can have an alt with 30/50 instead of 15/50

I've gotten help from many FP'ers here and I would feel bad if I didn't return the favor to someone in need. Time. Time is the catch. And patience. I must say that the Zaishen grind was the worst thing I've ever done, but it was worth it at the end! (I'll show you the video soon) Yup you don't need headpieces! Also most of the time you can purchase rare materials cheaper from players than you can from merchants. I was about to get the Shards for 600g when the merchant was selling them at 850g a peice. Saved me loads of money. You gotta do what you gotta do...? [editline]22nd May 2012[/editline] I'm loggin off for now, so I'll see you guys in the morning. My IGN is Bullet Ng if you want to hit me up tomorrow Vaught. Although I hopefully won't be on long depending on how my WiK progress goes.

Take care, then. I'll put some thought into your offer. Possibly help you out with the WiK content (I struggled too, so don't pray for miracles).
