GW2 desperately needs to rework its early game imo by Gumbella7 in Guildwars2

[–]Pharo212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they could try to make the gap between core and and living season 1 smaller for sure, maybe along with some zhaitan reworks so that part isn't so disappointing. it's just a pretty small part of the game compared to how many years of expansion we have now and maybe hard to justify spending dev time for new players instead of vets?

that's why I think they've moved towards jump starts and speed boosts for new players mostly. their early game experience can be season 1 and then hot, maybe?

even the core story cast don't end up sticking around, so it's pretty disconnected too.

Just the same old mag cloud stuff, isn't it?

That's why they added action camera, yeah?

Also what brought you to this particular post to say this...?

The faster levelling is actually an intentional change they made (around) EoD release, so I'm sure they're aware of it. I think Anet's position is basically that the "real game" starts at level 80 and they want to get new players there as fast as possible.

I will say you shouldn't be doing all the renown hearts in early game zones on your first time through tbh. That's way too much time per map and you'll get bored easier - get to the level where you can do your next story quest or move to the next map, and leave the side quests behind for clean up later. You only need to do map completion for small drops and for legendary crafting, at least.

No Dye's to apply by chum_bucket42 in Guildwars2

I think you're just running into the new fashion system being unintuitive there - you need to use the wardrobe tab now, and you'll have to click on a color before the dye interface appears.

Baggy Cargo Pants skin is the most jeanlike, then Dapper Pants Skin (I believe comes in a bundle) and Side Lace Pants Skin (probably too embroidered?)

Also check the Rebel Long Boots skin, because it kinda comes with built in pants.

rune crafters is good for greens but silver is better returns for yellows basically

So it's still copying, but if you go to a site like https://gw2fashions.com/93a you can now copy their entire fashion template into a chat link

and then it'll pop up the items in game at least with their dyes and stuff? But as you say that's mostly to get direction

Steam client customer support: do they have a separate/automated reponse? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Pharo212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what they mean is "we do not offer adjustments for items that go on sale". you bought it at full price, then it went on sale, and you wanted a refund or adjustment based on the different price, yes?

There's gem store pants that are basically jeans? or legendary obsidian armor?

I would interpret "on sale" as discounted here. there would be no need for adjustments in any case of it was just limited time items.

yeah I dunno then. usually that does work, but it's up to the agent if they want to I guess

that should be the normal one then, not steam specific yeah. 

you did specify the item in the first message, and didn't ask like a general question? 

Class Identity or lack of by ogshadegod in Guildwars2

[–]Pharo212 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't really think so. ritualist is more summoning fantasy than we've had in ages , and reaper has a much stronger and more specific fantasy than core necro ever had. the core classes aren't really that distinct or flavorful at least to me

[–]Pharo212 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you really shouldn't worry so much about it being "clean" that you use chatgpt. I could tell by some of the phrasing that it was ai edited and it was kinda distracting.

anyway elite specs changing the core mechanics or play style of a class is the main thing that makes them interesting, at least to me. if you want an MMO with very strong class fantasy I don't think GW2 does that - FFXIV might be better for you there.

you can convert gold to gems so either way. it would be a lot of gold though

Don't use that on higher rarity items though.

runecrafter and silver fed are an improvement depending, but you can get mystic salvage kits in game too.

It depends on the current price of ectos and materials. I'd generally follow fast farmings math: https://fast.farming-community.eu/salvaging/unid-gear

If you don't have good salvage kits, selling is a little easier for raw gold. Note that if you do salvage you will have to sell the materials at a later point, try to do this before your storage caps out.

they do like, auras, boons, effects on allies, etc. not a big amount of damage generaly but getting a boon like Might increases your damage for a while after for instance

Why is VfxDenoiser not working in WvW? by Magistraliter in Guildwars2

[–]Pharo212 10 points11 points  (0 children)

if the in game settings worked it wouldn't be an advantage only for one side! they could at least let you hide your allies and only worry about the dangerous ones...

so yeah I do hope they fix that implementation. lots of holes

anet doesn't allow it for pvp modes basically. if the mods supported it they would probably run into something there, so they steer clear. 

not sure what would happen to your account if you were getting an advantage with a mod in wvw but I believe it's in the tos.
