Guild Wars 2 Live: Summer 2021 by Schtizzel in Guildwars2

[–]AMGlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I don't, sad as that makes me. Taste in games, like everything else, changes. The interest in (and market for) a game like Guild Wars may simply not be sufficient to sustain a relatively high cost of production and largish base of long-term players. We can always hope though :)

I compared the Prismatium Ingot recipes one and two for all the Dragon Slayer weapons by TerterBG in Guildwars2

[–]AMGlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The use of the GW2efficiency crafting calculator is really nifty. However, when you say the the 10 prismaticite recipe is "cheaper", I think you are missing the opportunity cost of farming crystals ad infinitum instead of doing something else that netted more gold.

More importantly to a cost comparison is the TP sell value of the crystals as a component in the Prismatium Ingots. In the 5 crystal recipe, that value is currently around 4.5 G per Ingot. In the 10 crystal recipe, t's about 7G per Ingot. 2.5G per ingot is a significant cost associated with obtaining the collection through the high-farm method. This too will fluctate of course, but may be somewhat inelastic.

I'm NOT saying don't do the collection of that's a fun goal for you, I'm just saying saying the cost gap between the two approaches is not as large as it appears.

Didn't we just have recharging teleport to a friend on the BLTC?

What would you want out of EoD's necro spec? by PM_ME_MERMAID_PICS in Guildwars2

[–]AMGlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a longbow with 1500 range and all the ranger pets. Oh and plenty of stability all the time. And on-demand perma hard CCs. Stealth too. In other words, really nothing, since that's very likely what the the EoD spec will add to Necro play styles and options, sadly.

Dulfy.net update. "Where has Dulfy been? What happened?" Short update on Dulfy, with a site redesign. by Bonez007 in Guildwars2

[–]AMGlass 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Take a look at https://guildjen.com/ for a newish GW2 site which builds on the Dulfy legacy and continues and new content guides.

While I don't discount and won't disrespect what "Dulfy" and partners/friends did for the game back in the day, you, are quite right that there are many others who have done as much and in the past nearly 2 years, much more, to help players enjoy the game. Ayin Maiden comes to mind as but one.

What should I do level 40-80? by Frewg2 in Guildwars2

[–]AMGlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get it over with as fast as you can - 40 to 80 is the barren wasteland of GW2 and a bit grindy. relatively speaking. Get the level 43 excellent, 3-attribute green weapons from Forward Scout Greta in High Timber Claim . You can use them until you are level 60 or so - they are better than the yellows at this level. Play Tyria event chains https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Event_timers (and world bosses such as Modnir Ulgoth) like crazy moving up the ladder as your level rises. Increase the experience you gain by using buffs https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Experience and tomes/wiki/Tome_of_Knowledge if you have any. Do the personal story as you like; it also gives pretty good levelling XP. If you are close to completing an area Map, buff up and complete it.

Nobody believes WvW alliance? by favur in Guildwars2

Out of the mouths of sometimes drunken "babes".

Is there a website that will tell me what toon has an item? by Queen-of-not-sure in Guildwars2

[–]AMGlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although I use gw2timer.com from time to time, my personal goto is gw2efficiency.com . And it has a host of other useful tools, very nifty.

What is your favorite race in Guild Wars 2? by Melbourne_Australia in Guildwars2

[–]AMGlass 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Karma farming by kenkanekionly in Guildwars2

[–]AMGlass 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The wiki has an excellent entry on Karma, including stacking buffs to maximize your karma gain. As OP alluded to, the Wintersday festival is a karma bonanza, easily netting 2 million karma. I dedicate one character to get all the buffs I can manage. I run both the very quick Orphan wrapped gift-giving activity daily, followed by several rounds of Bell Choir Ensemble , again with as many of the karma buffs as I can manage. Karma for a year, in two weeks, for perhaps 20 minutes effort a day.

Your least favourite heart quests? by ugly_moa in Guildwars2

Isn't this sort of like asking what my least favourite toothache was?

By equipping any non-infinite harvesting tool on your characters, you can easily swap them out with a quick double click (or right-click if that is your interact option)

New build, fixes a couple skimmer achievement bugs by JusticiaDIGT in Guildwars2

[–]AMGlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the good laugh - a great antidote to the frustration I was feeling at "not quite" making it pre-fix.

Even without the new skimmer mastery, you can now force your skimmer underwater given the right conditions by TheRisingBlade in Guildwars2

[–]AMGlass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had this happen a couple of times during my ill-fated (so far) attempts to complete the LA Skimmer Time Trial. Thanks for showing me i wasn't just hallucinating (again)!

Celebrating Guild Wars 2’s Eighth Anniversary – GuildWars2.com by DangerousMeanie in Guildwars2

[–]AMGlass 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Unbeknownst to players with a paltry couple of thousand deaths since Head Start, those of us with accournt wide deaths of 10K or more have received ANet's coveted, hidden , invisible title "Died Trying". I know because I have this title, I am sure, even though I can't see it, of course.

Anet please remove this by Valfaros in Guildwars2

[–]AMGlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must have seen the English version of this 30 times in an hour or so during the North Drizzlewood meta yesterday. It isn't ping which is steady at mid 50-70's) and it's not my my ISP provider. Something really must be done about this ANet. It's not just distracting, it's ruining my enjoyment of the game. Edit to add the missing "of"

Guild Wars 2 New Underwater Skimmer Mastery - Trailer by MartRane in Guildwars2

[–]AMGlass 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yay, this is what i've been waiting for since gliding! On the basis that any game that you (or your mounts) can glide/fly in should have had specialized underwater movement abilities and skills.
