Blasphemeral posted:I'm certain that this isn't actually the reason for BL ticket-gating skins. All right, you've cracked the code. The real reason there are things you want in the Gem Store is because there are continuing operating costs with the game despite its lack of a subscription fee for financial support.

BL skins are the easiest way to make money by a large margin. Why anyone would complain about them is beyond me.

Dang... Those do look cool. I'm even close to a full scrap with all the HoT story mode poo poo I've been doing on alts lately. Then the question would be whether to keep it for myself or not. I've been sitting on a Dominator Axe skin that's going to my Icy Runestone fund whenever I get around to selling it.

ItBurns posted:BL skins are the easiest way to make money by a large margin. Why anyone would complain about them is beyond me. Most of the recent ones haven't really gone up in price the way the earlier ones did, though, mostly because they're all technically still available for tickets. In fact, some of them have even gone down. Unless I'm missing something.

It took lioe two hours iirc after a bug caused vendors to buy ecto for 200g but sell them for like 5000. I was a bit pissed because I dropped from level 6 to 5 on my monk.

Uptop edit: Servers are up quote:As we previously posted, today’s release unfortunately contained a bug that damaged character records, and in response we’ve taken down the game servers and are in the process of rolling back the state of the game to where it was before the release.

I feel like I should stay up and at my computer for when the servers come back online to capitalize on the economic madness but also every other time I've tried to capitalize on economic upheaval in GW2 I just lost money somehow. It's usually safe to assume that if I, noted bad trader Harrow, know about a hot market, literally everyone else in the game knows about it and I'll be lucky to break even.

MO is the equivalent to Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys. You can't be a owner/executive/gm all at the same time. It just doesn't loving work. GW1 had NCSoft backing them the entire time so the money was plentiful with the F2P model because the publisher was still financing things. As soon as NCSoft backed off on GW2 and left Anet to it's own devices it just went to poo poo. While it did allow Anet the freedom to fix a lot of things they wanted to from the start they had already lost half its collective hive that created it. It's the nature of the gaming industry to go where the pay/opportunities are better. They used the GW1 engine in order to save resources/time..but then they threw all this new tech into it and it never really jelled. So now they are just trying to keep things from going total poo poo. It's not about progressing the game anymore in terms of content/QoL fixes and more about maximizing profit. F2P works...there are a lot of games that have proven that but Anet just doesn't seem to know how to balance the "oh hey here are some new armor skins/wep skins that are a reward track vs ..welcome to the gem store." The gaming industry is cutthroat in terms of revenue generated vs investments much like most business models. ..all i'm saying is GODDAMMIT I GOT GOLD ON MY LAST 2 races to max out HoT mastery points...now I have to do them over....#firstworldproblems #neverdocheevosonpatchday

If I recall correctly, GW1 only ever went down to physically move the servers and only had one rollback due to widespread duping issues or something.

Fields of Ruin is apparently crashing whenever anyone interacts with an NPC or crafting table. First time it got me, I ended up back in Harathi. Second time, I decided to do something else for the rest of the night.

Oh man, it was one NPC? drat. It probably didn't help that everyone and their duck was rushing that map to get the daily done. Hardly the worst downtime I've encountered in one of these games, so I really haven't anything to complain about. Still going to wait until morning to get my Bloodstone Fen dailies done, I think. Map chat's bound to be grumpy.

What are the various "meta builds" for higher end content? (raids and high fractals) I have played HoT open map metas and Silverwastes extensively now and i would like to try some more organised group content. The reason i ask is i want to start making ascended stuff (i have enough materials for several weapons and enough currency for at least 2 sets of trinkets) for a profession/stat i enjoy playing. From what i have gathered so far: PS Warrior (is this power?) Herald (im assuming zerker gear) Chronomancer (im assuming boon duration gear and zerk) Condi necro Heal druid (zerk or condi?) What other professions with which stats are "meta" for organised content?
