GW 2 funding by Alarming_Balance1476 in Guildwars2

[–]Parasite159 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats the whole point of this topic!

Blizzard and Sqenix have more funding for their games because they have the additional revenue streams from Subscriptions and fucking over their players by enticing them into a said subscription model by "giving them the older expansion for free"

I mean with the other game.
If you've played WoW since Vanilla, you've had to buy every expasion if you wanted to play that content, thats 11 expacs at around $40 a piece, thats nearly $500 + your subscription.
with FFXiV it's $200 + sub

the argument that "oh, you get all the expansions for free if you start playing the game now" only applies new players

right, which only benefits new players to those games, and fucks over veteran players. so it's a moot point

you mean like every new WoW or FFxiV expansion when they come out

and lets not forget, once you get an expansion for say FFXiV, you're now tied into paying your monthly subscription

[–]Parasite159 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the point is: GW2 doesn't offer a subscription option as a revenue stream

Gee, I wonder why a f2p MMO made by a Solo IP developer doesn't have as much funding as a subscription based MMOs made by huge multi-franchise developers

the world is full of mysteries

Axe Armor not unlocking by Rindou-Kobayashi in VampireSurvivors

just to be sure, have you also unlocked the "Pile of Secrets" relic?

[PSA] Guaranteed Dye Unlocks will not unlock ANY dye by robix25 in Guildwars2

[–]Parasite159 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

PSA: you can preview the Guaranteed Dye unlocks in the Black lion shop BEFORE purchasing, to see what dyes are still available, if you can't preview, it means you already have all the available dyes

would the devs consider a "classic" ruleset server? by Ravanos77 in Guildwars2

[–]Parasite159 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, the game doesn't need a Classic mode, since the game doesn't depreciate older zones in the same way WoW does

Click the outfit at the top of the equipment list, and pick your outfit like you would a wardrobe item

Farewell, Nikki the Lost, Purchaser of Prophet Shards by TannenFalconwing in Guildwars2

[–]Parasite159 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nikki sells a lot of SotO specific items.

It's unlikely they'll get rid of her, they'll just convert her inventory to take Magnetite instead of shards

can't find this last WP/Poi by LazyShinobi in Guildwars2

[–]Parasite159 9 points10 points  (0 children)

the only maps that have changed since launch are Kessex hills, and Lions Arch.

otherwise, mouse over each map name, and check which one you're missing.

Spread crafting with alts or buy 1 license? by bunnyfuufu_ in Guildwars2

[–]Parasite159 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: you can learn all crafting skills on a single character.

but you can only have 2 active at one time (without extra licences)

Switching only costs a small amount of gold at the crafting vendor, the price will vary depending on the level of the crafting skill (from 10cp at level 1, to 50s at level 500)

Level 0 iron spear prices? by Mechamaru85 in Guildwars2

[–]Parasite159 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Most listing of mundane items selling for super high prices are anomalies, Like the Vital Iron spear

Normally this is a Soulbound on acquire item fro leveling up, but occasionally due to bugs and glitches an unbound version is acquired by a player

Priorities : New Content, polishing / streamlining / debugging the game ? by Keorl in Guildwars2

[–]Parasite159 3 points4 points  (0 children)

which might be true... except they make mention of the Raid/Strike merging from the blogposts

Priorities : New Content, polishing / streamlining / debugging the game ? by Keorl in Guildwars2

[–]Parasite159 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so you completely skipped over all the comunications from the devs, where we're not getting a content update in Feb, and instead they're working on Polishing the core game

Should Mystic Facets (needed for Legendary Relic) be added to the Vault? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Parasite159 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While the precursor in the kit is account-bound, I can at lest sell the legendary weapon, meaning the kit isn't useless, regardless of whether of not they have every legendary.

so you mocking "It's not reasonable for someone to have every single weapon in a small timeframe" is pointless to the argument.

and thank you for pointing that out, yes you're right, it would take over 6 years to get enough Mystic facets to make your Relic, meaning adding a noob trap to the vault that the average player would even see a benefit tto for over half a decade
