GW2: Recent Accomplishment Thread

[niwaar]

recent accomplishment: 1/49 on toy soldier tonic stupid shit, they made them too rare. honestly dont know why I cant turn 4 rares into the exotic 100% of the time, it isnt exactly gamebreaking since I actually worked for the tonics

I only made the Doll tonic but yeah it took me 23 times. My friend gave up on the Ventari tonic after 60+ attempts and nothing. I think the RNG is where it needs to be in terms of this type of thing. I just want them to own up for the other box RNG and the fact they flat out said that Glue and Stuffing would be "easier to come by than Candy Corn" which it is so completely not.

Grats on your toy soldier tonic though. Does it have a special /dance like the princess does?

[Prothescar]

Nah, disappointingly it's just all normal charr emotes

[niwaar]

Ahhh that is sad, but Id rather be a charr toy soldier than a real charr

The princess' dance is kinda glitchy. I have a feeling it was the original human dance and they never finished it or something. Just the way it feels.

[Churchill]

My only recent accomplishment is almost getting this forum baleeted. Now, to level Guardian.

[Kuya]

Sounds like a logical progression.

[Kuishen]

Spoiler: show

Fuck you ANet and your RNG bullshit. About 150 gold to get all the minis. I had to borrow 100 Gold from my friend to finish it (mostly because I only had access to a comp for the second half of event, been grinding dungeons away like nobody's business for money, will be able to pay him back in a couple of weeks).

Inb4 he gets banned for mailing me 100 gold because they think he's RMT.

Also yeah yeah base medium exotic armor is ugly, haven't had time to finish up Arah to get the last two pieces to finish my mix n' match set.

Mithril is an awesome dye though.

[Katlan]

Did u convert gold to gems? The ratio is terrible now.

[Kuishen]

Yes. I'm not going to support their terrible ideas with RL money. Was like 120 or 130 Holiday Boxes I think. Got 2 Festive Hats, 3 Festive Golems, 2 Snowmen, 1 Infinarium (sp?), a bunch of dyes and a weapon skin voucher.

EDIT: To be clear. I'm fine with RNG stuff. What I'm not fine with is that the minis could not be sold. I was fine with the way they did minis in Halloween. I was also fine with the way minis were done in Lost Shores. They combined the two ways for Christmas except made it shitty by not being able to sell them. Because at least when minis can be sold, I can get in on the action on the fortune of other people if they got lucky but didn't want the things in the first place.

I don't even have any of the regular minis yet, but I have every single one of the "Special" ones, and I plan on keeping that "Special" category full. I'll buy the regular ones after I'm done with a Legendary probably.

Got my precursor, grinding karma... and world completion... and WvWvW orz... See you with shield in 6 months...

Also, CoF arms on my Norn look like someone nailed two blocks of 2x4s to his wrists and elbows and then set fire to them. Norns are not exactly subtle.

[Katlan]

Grats! Karma is the biggest roadblock. Though if you have been doing the daily/monthly each day/ month then you should be in good shape

[Kachiko]

Fractals seems to be a better way to do it, once you're high enough. 15 for an an obsidian shard and you walk out with 70 on a non-daily lvl 30 run.

[Arcana]

You people act like karma is hard to get, you get karma for almost everything. daily/monthly jugs & dungeon (non-fractal) running should get you the karma easily. If your farming badges from WvW then your going to get karma from events there too. the only point where karma should be an issue is if you only have a few hours to play each day.

This is pretty much my method. Mostly been farming 10-19s until I get infusions/ascendeds I want, but so far I'm sitting at over 1000 relics and I can make some decent coin from a run.

[Karbuncle]

All fun and games. Actually just very recently picked this up, Well... 3-4 Weeks ago now. Have level 80 THF, Leveling Hunter now too... Mesmer or Ele later as well. But, As for the Accomplishments... Finished my first Fractal. 1 Fractal in a long list of Fractals. But its a start, and it was really fun.

Got 400 in 3 Crafts now (across both characters. Weaponsmith, Leather, and Cooking).

Working on Sunrise, GF is working on Twilight. Going to be fun. Worst part i think is going to be 100% Map completion, We do a zone a day though, trying to get that out of the way. Really enjoying this game so far.

[Corrderio]

Map completion isn't too bad. Sure there's some POIs/Vistas that make you want to pull your hair out, but the worst part will be doing the WvW maps.

[Rhyis.]

WvW maps are the easiest thing if you're not in a major rush. Just wait till your servers colours change. Do all the red borderland when you're red, blue when blue, green when green. I've got all the WvW maps on 5 different characters, and 3 of them aren't over level 10.

[Katlan]

Yeah, but if your server is in one of the upper tiers (1-3/4) then places don't change as much. so that method can take a while

[Corrderio]

And some POIs (Such as towers) require you to be inside to get them. And depending on your server, some may decide to skip taking control of a tower to push back enemy forces/etc.

This worked great during the first 2 months when games were short and server's were extremely volatile. I am on CD and we have been in the exact same position for 8 weeks now (Tier 3 Team 8 Blue). Seeing that most of the top 4 tiers have not been overly volatile in terms of rankings over the last 2 months. My first few characters all have 100% WvW completion, my latest character (my necro) will take a long amount of time to complete.

That being said it looks like Isle of Janthir is finally succumbing to our forces! So I guess CD going green on Friday is our server's accomplishment 2 months in the making!
