Yes I saw a whipper with that bangle eheheheh. If you need I can hold one if I get, I usually salvage. Say me what class you need.
If you get one, great. I need one for ME. I’d also like to point out that some of the 29 cap gear is worth a good bit of gold and desirable to those at the cap. So don’t Salvage everything! I’m always looking to buy perfect stat gears. I have enough to outfit a small army right now, and need more!

Thanks for all the Camo’s. Here I was thinking I’d skip until Halloween patch; NOPE. Picked up like, 13 costumes.

Look the red words in the bottom of the bangle (or any other gear) and you can see the enhanced stats: for bangle you see Min atk, Max atk, Def, Min chatk, Max Chatk. This works in every gear till level 49. Above level 50 I see new stats not wrote in the red lines in the bottom.
So it's right, DEF will be enhanced, HP not. I saw there are lot of kinds of bangles, all have min and max atk, then 2 other stats (escluding the useless SP):
- DEF HP
- DEF MinChatk
- DEF MaxChatk
- MinChatk HP
- MaxChatk HP
- MinChatk MaxChatk
Considering the HP is not enhanced, I prefere the MinChatk + DEF one.
Or, if you like a 100% dps build, go with MinChatk + Max Chatk.
Yes, I know. I know. I knowwwww. Lol I don’t need it to enhance. I’m just trying to verify if both Def and HP can be on the same Bangle.

4 hours ago, Vivi said:All Unique versions of the Delta Bangles have the same enchant -> so no HP
And Gamma bangles, at least the ones I skimmed, also have no HP enchants.
This is what I mean. Where the SP is, that's where I'm looking for HP. And Def would be in HP spot, as it’s always the first stat on gear that has it ( Def+Max CH-Atk, Def+Void+Max HP+SP etc. ). I know HP won’t enhance. That’s not important to me. It’s just that I need it to multiply into final HP. On my ideal theoretical Bangle, it’d just have Min/Max ATK and Def enhancing.
Looking like it’s one or the other. Woe is me. Seems silly that there isn’t a piece. Basic tank/healer stats. Oh well. Thanks everyone for confirming.

its more of a better stat in early game but overall it’s not enough to make a noticeable impact from the damage. The tru protection is void. But go ahead and get the def since it still somewhat helps and you can’t really stack void yet.
in end game it’s pretty minimal. Before we had skill changes you could easily go without defense passive even tho it added like 700+ defense it didn’t help at all lol.
Thank you!

This is what I'm fairly certain of, too. I've been certifying every decently priced Bangle for pretty much any class, and so far, nada. Sucks.

I’m pretty sure there is one ? Sorry it’s been awhile but I feel like that was the bangle all the tanks used. Altho defense isn’t as helpful as you think it might be. It’s borderline useless 😂
Mind is slightly blowing up right now. Why is Def useless? Any links to formulas or something? I need answers because this does not compute!

If the Def and HP doesn't add stats on one bangle, I believe neither will enhance on other bangles. If they do enhance on other bangles then the maybe other stats take over what gets enhanced. Normally though I'm under the impression that some gears will have stats that enhance while others gears won't allow those stats to be enhanced.
I’m sure you know, but at the bottom of each piece of gear it has what will be enhanced. What’s not listed will not. For example, look at a Gamma chest piece. The 4 stats that will always enhance are Def, Void, HP, and SP. So to have a perfect Gamma chest piece would mean having those stats as the base stats or, as many as you can get/want, followed by dropping SP and looking for a defensive stat of your choice like EVA, or even CP. The latter won’t multiply, but it’s still figured in your percentages.
For my Bangle I’m looking for, it’d have Def and HP as the base stats ( gloves can get this but often comes with a third base stat ). HP wouldn’t enhance since it’s not one of the stats that do so on Bangles. But I’m still looking for it to keep my current HP Bangle, but want to hit 300 Def with the added Def on the one I’m trying to find. Trying to reach 20k HP. 17,400 right now with no buffs.
Edit: @Vivi Are they an actual stat combo? If you have access to these details, of course.
-
Together. I can get just about all other combinations, but Def/HP on the same bangle eludes me. Is it possible? If not, lammmmme.
Edit: Enhanced, it'd just be Min/Max ATK % and Def. HP doesn't enhance on Bangles.

Dannng, didn’t know the other boss pet skins were a one time deal. That’s BS. They need hard drop rates so players have something to farm for on bosses.

Since you looking for more suggestions, I'm going to go ahead and clean mine up that I posted in previous replies. TL;DR in bold.
1. Rings need to be added to more drop tables ( Janus/TP, Titan, NOT BC boss ). The Base accessory idea is great. It'll act as a placeholder just like the other Base items do, until they get proper gear. But that alone isn't going to drop prices for Rings specifically as the reason they're so expensive to begin with, is because there's not many people farming the actual mobs in BC that drop them since you can glitch to the end boss ( which doesn't drop them ).
2. To make all zones relevant, there needs to be exclusive chase items dropped in the zones eg. World Bosses. With the implementation of the Pet Skin system, I believe this would be a great starting point on doing this. I believe Vivi has already commented in a post a while back saying this was something she's interested in doing ( pet skins of world bosses ). Throw them in a drop table for the specific boss at around 10%-15% chance, and you'll have people there competing for a decent chance at getting one. The probability of getting one shouldn't be guaranteed, otherwise you will likely lose 1 player per boss spawn. But it can't be minuscule, or they'll get bored if they're just alt characters looking for the pet drop. That said, they should most definitely be tradeable/sellable. Other games do this: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World_boss
3. Events that funnel players to specific content for increased rewards. Self explanitory, and I think there's enough MMO's that have existed since 2000 to look at and emulate their successes. ( Not a "google it" type of comment, just saying it's likely rhetorical ). Preferably these events will be held by GS's and people would have advanced notice ( a week or more ) to prepare for it. Could also throw up a forum poll and see what times are best and have the in-game announcement system tell people to come and vote.
-
Would you be willing to tell us what you folks have on the table already for the patch? That way those here could give feedback before it goes live. I think more people would comment on it that way, since the major issues have already been addressed in previous replies.
Also, can the in-game announcement system be utilized more often on important topics/events?

Back on the topic of early game progession and helping smooth out the playing curve sort of thing, I would like to hear more opinions and suggestions about that as well.
I was going to do it for today, but I don't trust myself implementing it again in the actual patch without breaking something in the process and doing it with no testing as well (since test server is currently occupied). But, I was going to set up some base accessories to give to Idel to kinda help the whole accessory shortage sort of thing. The drop rate changes are still going in to help that as well, but it would make sense to have her give out a proper full set of everything to help someone along.
If going this route ( Idel giving the accessories ), could you please make them Magic grade? If they get the Rare versions, then there’s little reason to farm them from BC/DM or participate in the other zones where the Trinkets drop, like Janus/TP and CG. I know it’s just 100% easier to give everyone a set, but while completely killing their ridiculous prices, it eliminates the need further to skip another zone. Plus even if you implement them in drop tables at a later point, they’d be worthless drops.Edit: Nevermind! I didn’t see that you said Base Accessories.

Yooooooooo I just solved the ring problem! lol Make a new Commander's Replicube for like, 1G each! I just dropped 6k on the 12g ones just to see what I get ( and those sweet L3 Hypos and 700CP pots ) and got quite a few rings. Just please don't put those awful Magic Rings in there. Averaged about 2 Uniques per 100. I know they're not worth jack, but still. Someone could spend 100g for a good chance at getting a couple of rings. RNG on top of RNG, yes. But the price of 29 cap rings would plummet to where they'd be affordable to all, even new players.

There's not much I can do in terms of someone getting killed in a pvp map. It's part of the game and not against the rules.
Its when that person openly harassing them about it, then we can do something for it.
What constitutes harassment? Would spawn camping a group of players at a base be harassment? Or do you mean like me just being an ass and killing this one player over-and-over when he/she's trying to do a daily?

Would a storage-based Mystery Box be out of the question or, is that something you guys have done before? Inventory, Warehouse obviously. Could throw in Safe Guards or something else to round it out to 4-5 items. Also, what’s y’alls policy when it comes to making these things? Like what can and can’t be crammed into one?

Wow, I must have insulted you, I don't feel sorry about it, but you have issues. Go see a therapist to fix that.
Not at all. I chuckled actually, as you’re the resident complainer here. That’s a good thing! They’re often the funniest people to work with. Like, even though they complain about everything, and nothing makes them happy, they stick around. So it’s cool, man.

Yo, Sand man. I'm not a GM or GS. I'm not the one who's planning this out. So of course I don't have all the details down pat. Calm your tits. I'm just seeing if people would be interested in something SIMILAR to what other games do. That's it. I get that your feelings are hurt because the things you want done aren't getting done. Got it loud and clear. But go turn on some MCR and cry it out with a Fuzzy Navel.
And just to get your panties further in a bunch. lol

Sounds like something only those who are on at the start of the event would win and then what happens if 6 people level at the exact same time because those 6 were in a PT together and exp increases with a PT? Or you get somebody that has a toon that stays a lower level while the higher level toon goes and farms. The lower level toon will also increase the higher level toon's exp faster when PT'd together.
“Only those at the start...” Ideally, we’d have the events laid out beforehand by a week so those that want to participate can get things in line to do so.
“6 people at the same time...” That’s up to how the GS/GMs want to handle it. If it’s GS lead, then likely will be whoever posts a screenshot first. If a GM is involved, they most likely can check times specifically. Or it’s just a tie between them all and they all get rewards. Who knows? Up to the coordinators.
”Party exp”. Don’t think it matters, they’re still leveling the toon. Unless it’s something ridiculous like going straight to 20 or whatever. Then that might be an issue. But that’s another question for the coordinators, not me. Might be able to turn off party exp for a few days while the event is happening but again, that’s more of a Vivi question.

Don't understand this and seems confusing. But I guess those who know will understand and maybe they will like it, but from my understanding it's starting over constantly and it was boring to restart the game the first 4 times and I did it 12 times now so no thanks.
Except it’s not “constantly”. And when a new season begins, it’s not mandatory to do so unless you’re trying to participate in a Community leveling event as stated twice now. Past earning whatever rewards given to those that win/participate, a character already at a seasons level will be fine, and have an early start at whatever else is going on in the season while others are leveling.
Example: GS hosts leveling event here on forums. First 3 to reach say, 29 gets a Pet of their choice. Top 10 get I don’t know, like 10 SG’s to start their enhancing. Top 30, pet hacks or something. So on and so forth.
If you don’t want to participate and have a 29’er already cool, go ahead and work on the other events for the season cap.

This thread made me notice that ya'll seem to misunderstood somethin fundamental. That "pvp" and "winning" are two separate things. Ya can have lotta fun doin pvp even without winnin. Yeah, yar too OP ya can easily win the BG thru pvp... but lemme ask... Can ya win yar opponents' respect?
Yar already maxed up facing an ungeared newbie... still want to win the BG... for what!? For ya to circumvent the humiliation of loss? For ya to bask in the glory of victory? For the bragging rights? For the prize SG that ya no longer need? Well, shame. Is it wrong to help your opponents gear up in the hope that they stay in the game long enough to become pvp-worthy?
When yar OP enough to rightfully win the BG. It's easy to say to yar opponent "Accept your defeat. It's just a game.". But for the ungeared opponent ya just deprived a chance for SG and loot, that's a hard pill to swallow. Say "That's the reality of pvp. Live with it." and yar teachin em the wrong lesson. It's not easy to learn to love to pvp when pvp itself hinders progress. Too much loss could lead to "learned helplessness" which the only way out is either quitting the game or become a pve hero.
I've been trampled a lot by geared players back when I'm still gearin up. I'm already geared enough rn (not yet maxed up) but the trauma still remains, thus I rarely join hourly BG. If I join, then that's because I'm runnin short of buff hypovial replicubes that are relatively difficult to obtain outside BG. Heck! I only pvp cuz the current state of this game's pve sux.
/rant
Additional SG is unnecessary. Just learn to gib and take.
So what is the solution? That maxed geared RG’s register for BG’s and then just strip gear and suicide so FK’s get the resources needed to progress? I don’t see how that’s RG’s responsibility to the FK’s, the overall playerbase, or the game in general. Don’t get me wrong, I realize there’s issues with the FK Faction. But doing something like this is like bottom of the barrel charity work that’s just embarrassing to FK’s. Especially when many of these issues can be player corrected by FK’s themselves like, biting the bullet and make a Medic.

Alot of the unsold gear sitting in ah is from players who stopped playing weeks or months ago so it wouldn't benefit the economy as much as you would think. And you also have to consider what is and isn't possible as far as manipulating the server to accommodate the seasonal league you're suggesting
That may be so, regarding the gear. However, assuming there was a 2-month stint where Caergate for example, was where players flocked to, the 29 cap gear WOULD be valuable, especially the more rare pieces that offer perfect stat combinations for a given class, and doubly so for the even more rare chest/boots that are 4-stat when upgraded. Rare 27 ling would be in high demand, throughout the season, Mechs/Cyberskins wouldn't see much change with how easy they are to acquire, and things like rings and necklaces would have a nice little value attached to them too, even with the update incoming to help get them. In short, again, yes this would be a benefit overall to the economy, as people will be wanting to purchase BiS gear for an area they'll be in for a month or two farming whatever events are being held for the season. Not only that, but when that specific season ends, and a new one begins, the gear will still be relevant since like, 6 months down the line they'll rotate the league back to that zone.
I'm not sure that I'm suggesting much when it comes to "server manipulation". We know that Vivi can modify drop tables. They're testing new ones right now on the test server for 29 cap specifically. We know that Vivi has stated that she believes she can eliminate the GH glitch. So there's another check. The other suggestions I proposed was simply have the GS/Admins/Prominent Guild Leaders/Popular kids in high school/whatever host community-wide events to maximize player participation. That's it. That's all I'm suggesting or just throwing out there, really.
Fix boosting. A must.
Give incentive. Pretty much the only legwork Vivi/Gm's have to do. Put some decent ( exclusive ) drops in the zone we're going to. Not required, but If possible throw up some buffs like more rank points from killing players. Double drop rates, defense/offense buffs, etc. etc. I believe Vivi said it's not possible to have zone-wide buffs. So the buffs would likely be server-wide. Which is fine, as long as the incentives to farm/fight in the featured league area outweigh those in other areas enough to keep people in the league cap.
Host community ran events throughout the season. ie: 1st 50 people to reach level cap. Most number of kills per week. Most contribution on a BG, etc. All of which, can be posted here in a screenshot.
And there you have a rough draft of what it'd take to start leagues. It really seems like a low effort way on getting more players in lower level zones.

What I suggest is so people can't use the boosting glitch and any extra resources they might have on their main or any alts in fairness
I understand. The boosting glitch would 100% have to get fixed. As with it, events like "Top 50 people to level XX" can't be run. The extra resources you're talking about I'm assuming is having everything needed to max out a league toon gear wise. Unless they go all out, I don't think that's possible ( like you mentioned a new server ). Honestly, I think I'd like it better if we just used our current server anyways. It would be a boon for the economy, even without it being a new server due to all the old gear that's sitting on the AH being rarely sold. Now, there would be purpose to it and would sell quite fast assuming it was a good set.

I cannot log in during NB and Saturday's AK is far too early. And well look at the number of RG who showed up to Tuesday's ak, 18RG vs 6FK from the start and at first capability of RG finishing their looting they wiped FK out. Why stick around with those numbers and why not join the PvE faction since PvP for RG is zerg force vs few FK. Attitudes about playing should change if people want change to happen in SB, including and more so of those on the RG side, not just FK.
Are you and Bestweaver on the same page? Both of you are complaining about the complete oppostite ends of the spectrum. One says they don't show. The other says they do with overwhelming forces. 🤣
Figured out how to Graft higher lvl gear to lower level ones.
in Guides & Tutorials
Posted
Example:
Level 27 Playful Hearts to 47 Devil’s Kiss.
1. Buy Rare 47 Devils Kiss or Unique version.
2. Have a higher level Lingerie OR a different skin of the same level as the one you want to graft.
3. Place the highest level/skin of same level you DON’T want on top.
4. Place the Lingerie skin you want on your low level gear on bottom.
5. Insert appropriate Grafting Tool depending on if it’s Rare or Unique.
6. Drag your low level Lingerie to the top. It’ll switch them out.
7. Graft. Voila.
Also works with gear. @Vivi pls dont fix
