Casual MMORPG enjoyer. Currently. #GuildWars2 is the time-sink of choice. I use #nixos btw. 🤓🐧
I have a #photography hobby in real life, so I like to take screenshots in games and see if I can make blend my two hobbies.
@necropola I think the guides are for making the lures or motivations or whatever they’re called. If you already have a ton of research notes, and don’t want the OW legendary armor, you can turn those essences into a goo damount of gold crafting the T1-T3 motivations for others.
@Winged_Hussar I just want them to leave hammer mechanist alone, I’m having entirely too much fun. And I just got into fractals. I don’t wanna have to restart everything because what I have is no longer good. :AngeryCat:
@necropola @lulztard I used to gather every S4 currency every day when I was doing skyscale and then just to get more volatile magic, and I would dutifully report every AFK farmer I saw. Did this for over 6 months, no change in afk farmer population. I think they don’t have the capability or willingness to do anything about it. 😞
@lorty @meldrik my theory is this. The experienced people who might teach beginners are too interested in just getting their dailies done quickly.
You could put one in there saying “all welcome, learning fractals” and everyone could noob it up together. Could be fun. Might take a while to form.
My recommendation is to find and join a guild or two that do fractal training and the like.
@avater @Winged_Hussar I’m bummed there’s no more WvW potions anymore. I was doing the easy WvW dailies and saving those up too I got 80 for an easy gift of battle. Guess I’ll actually have to play the content now 😁
@lulztard “New loot goofin’” had me rollin’ over here lol
@goomby69 Ah man I forgot they did that one expansion launches. Going to suck missing out on the API features of GW2E and GW2BLTC, plus the wiki.
@necropola Norn 100%
@meldrik my problem wasn’t the price, it’s that there’s no XL Tall size. I am both Extra Large AND tall lol.
@asal I can speak from my experience. I made Celestial Ascended gear for my Alac mechanist. It was really just a project for me, was looking for something to do in game. I don’t really have much interest in Fractals, but now I’d be ready. I think if your intent behind making cele ascended gear would be to get into fractals, know that cele will likely only get you so far. Higher end groups look for specific stats for the most part.
@lorty @meldrik Right now on my NA server, the exchange rate to buy 1200 Gems is ~430 gold. You could probably get that in a shortish amount of time depending on how hard you go and what content you play. Whether that’s worth it or not is kind of relative. It wouldn’t be to me, but it might to others.
@meldrik That could be. I hope that is the case, I love this game.
@necropola @lorkano Wow I hope the rifts are more exciting than that video shows, that looks kind of boring. I was looking more for like the Rift MMO, where the whole landscape changes and mobs are pouring out.
@necropola I don’t like doing them at all personally. They’re super boring to me. Unless they come up with something in the next release/maps that increases the drops of those essences or give other ways of getting them, I think my excitement for the OW legendary armor has completely evaporated and I’m going to have to slog through WvW if I want that.
But also, with the introduction of the stat-selectable exotic vendor, I wonder if the whole legendary armor thing is a huge waste of time.
