Bloodstone dust isn't a problem being able to remove 500 a day. Dragonite, on the other hand, I got 4000 of the stuff and if I do any world bosses or HoT chests I'll end up with even more then princess can eat in a day, I need 2-3 dragonite eaters to keep up.

I used to save mine, but then I saw how much ascended crafting costs in actually useful resources, like time and dignity.

They're just trying to get the whales with more glider options. Just so happens to be that wings are an easy substitute to come up with without thinking too hard. Unless these are more backpacks, in which they could just release one pair with customizable dye slots. But they won't, and it works.

Between the hilariously bad items/skins and the exchange rate, this whale isn't a whale anymore. I don't get why they don't sell gems in CAD, GTA5 does with shark cards, like gems would be 19.99 CAD instead of 19.99 USD which means like $28

Only gemstore glider I have is the Lunar New Years one, because it has two dye channels. Makes it easy to actually customize it to fit most characters.

CLAM DOWN posted:Between the hilariously bad items/skins and the exchange rate, this whale isn't a whale anymore. Maybe because the currency is able to be traded between people? Also GTA5 isn't going to have a huge problem if its economics gets hosed. Players can't sell poo poo to each other in that game. It is still too much money, but people buy it still so... Edit: Especially in CAD. 28 bucks? gently caress that.

they're making up for lost time by making GBS threads out 20 or so glider skins so that it equals the rest of the awful-looking skins for the other slots, obviously

I get that recoloring wings is easier than creating armor and stuff for a 3+ yo game, but come on  CLAM DOWN posted:Holy hell you're not joking, what the gently caress is wrong with Anet these days CLAM DOWN posted:Between the hilariously bad items/skins and the exchange rate, this whale isn't a whale anymore.

So many broken whales getting soaked for random dye boxes and non-dyeable wings at the same time.

Although I don't have the time right now, I would love to have an excuse to play this game again. I miss the glory days of hanging out with goons doing stuff like titbot, crown pav, etc..., not to mention sab

When they do add capes, it will only be medium armor and just affecting the existing buttcapes.

I can only assume the graphic artists have nothing better to do than recolor wing textures all day while waiting for new things to work on. Case in point: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/462xs8/make_our_own_raid_lfg_category_by_taking_over_pvp/ quote:Make our own Raid LFG Category by Taking Over PvP Unranked for it?[Question] -- Developer response (self.Guildwars2) quote:ArenaColin [score hidden] 36 minutes ago Development is constantly held up while a mile long list of if-then statements is searched for a missing semicolon.

Wait are people paying actual money for these things? I guess there's no patience for just making the gold to buy it. I mean geez I only play an hour a day and even I have like 5 extra chara slots, 2 extra bank slots, two glider skins, heavens knows how many makeovers I've bought (well, like 3 of them) - all with gold I've gotten with those paltry non-poopsockin' hours of play. But then I've also bought sets of chest keys and contributed to the RND so I am part of the problem I guess. Sorry? (made mad money on those chests though, hahaha rnd losers)

You're not getting the gold for these things nowadays with the current gem-gold rate unless you have a very different definition of non-poopsockin' than I do. Basically if I can spend 10 hours farming gold in a potentially unfun, but optimized way, or work 1 hour more for the RL money then spend 9 hours in game doing things I like, I'm not going to be farming gold (numbers entirely made up but you get the point why people would do this at different rates).

Baron Von Pigeon posted:So they mentioned their spring update was in April and I'm starting to get the distinct feeling nothing is going to happen until then. Yeah the only reason we got anything at all between the expansion and the last patch is because they didn't finish raids and the ascended weapons, and because balance was actually a joke, rather than the like a joke state they are used to. Outside these quarterly feature packs, there won't be anything except maybe living story 3 on a different schedule. Frankly I don't think they'll really manage to stick to this schedule though. I give it until summer before they change their plans again.

We will get a half-assed story update and maybe SAB World 1 & 2. These will be revised versions because they probably broke some poo poo with the mushrooms and odd mechanics. There may be some raid stuff because that seems popular on Reddit. Please prove me wrong and deliver more fractals/dungeons. I would love to see metrics on how many attempts vs completions there has been on the current raid content. I understand they wanted them to be tough but I bet not even 5% of their player base has gone through the first wing, let alone tried it more than 2-3 times. I hope there are some armor models coming soon that aren't gated behind 300 hours of gathering/crafting or farming mats. Dressup is getting kind of bland now that I've tried so many different armor set combos.

There's supposed to be more raid content (2 more wings?), and also legendary armor. As far as fractals, I think the best you can hope for is them finally putting the legendary version of the backpiece in. Dungeons are dead, they've said as much.

Well that's true, if people want to spend money to not grind well I can totally understand that. I don't have any other life after all, so it doesn't bother me if i find I've spent half a weekend idly doing meta's. I don't really call it poop-socking if I'm not really trying to be 'efficient', I guess. I suppose other people might say that spending most of saturday night farting around in video games is "poopsocking" because normal people have friends and do actual things. I think possibly I also have the benefit of having had the game since launch, so I've got godknows how much poo poo stacked in material storage that is worth a small fortune when I sell stacks of it here and there. I've gotten hella lucky on key-drops and ended up with hundred gold dyes multiple times. I am a natural hoarder so I never throw anything out if I can find some way to sell, save or salvage it. It all adds up. But I don't play specifically to grind, is my point. I do what I am having the most fun with at the time, but the drops, gathering, a few unique lucky finds I've sold along the way have all paid for the bits I've bought. I've also paid game gold for people to help me with certain things, if it was a pain in the arse like jumping puzzles, I don't mind paying a bit for that - so if you're looking to make some easy money portalling uncoordinated spastics like me through puzzles is always welcome! Edit as for dressups I want a shield that doesn't hide my back item! (like the option to hide it or wear it on my arm all the time or something).
