Speaking of bags, I noticed she was still using a four-slot dropped bag in her third and last bag slot. I was enjoying playing her so much I carried on to the regular dailies, which put the two gold she'd lost on the envelopes back in her bags. That got her more Achievement Points than she's seen in a very long while. This is literally the only screenshot I took in four hours. She opened envelopes, ran the race on a rented raptor, lost two rounds of Dragonball, badly, and set fire to the requisite ten strings of firecrackers. She had the best runaround she's had for months yesterday, courtesy of the holiday celebrations. Maybe I'll gamble my only F2P character into destitution for the hell of it. Since my sum total of wealth on that account was 17g it's probably going to be a one-off experiment. I wanted to see if F2P players can buy them (they can) and sell them (they can't).
#GW2 GLORY OF TYRIA STRONGBOX FREE#
It was the envelopes that got me to log in my rarely-played free account yesterday. If it makes any difference I can't see it. Magic Find affects these envelopes so I make an effort to get mine as high as possible before slitting the seal. It makes less money but it's a lot more fun. Currently they're trading for almost 50% more than the NPC cost, so it's a very good way to make a few gold. You can only buy sixteen, per account, per day from an NP but they're tradeable, so if you want more you can buy from other players via the Trading Post. They are lockboxes that cost a gold apiece. The Lucky Envelopes are my favorite part of Lunar New Year. Since I have characters from four accounts parked in Divinty's Reach, ready to buy the permitted sixteen Lucky Envelopes every day and the race starts every twenty minutes, that happens quite a lot. I love the race, so if it happens to start when I'm there, I'm in. I also haven't been strict about the festival dailies, I do them if I'm in the mood. This is from last year's festival, Year of the Dog. I tried it once and it looked like a lot of effort so I stopped. This time we got the latter, a timed "adventure" to set light to a new set of firecrackers around Divinity's Reach. The concessions to novelty these days generally come from two sources: a new racetrack or another version of an event that already exists.
ANet have at least rowed back a touch from their stated intent to keep all holidays the same forever because that's what people want. I like Lunar New Year although, like all Tyrian celebrations, it's thin on content when compared to the holidays on offer in other MMORPGs. GW2, which has taken six years to develop something vaguely resembling a balanced Holiday calendar, comes out of Wintersday into Lunar New Year with scarcely a breath. Maybe it's the time of year (January is statistically proven to be the most depressing month, if by " statistically proven" you mean "paid to say so by a travel company") but nothing seems quite so appealing at the moment as settling down for a session of tick-box questing while leveling up a new character against a familiar backdrop.Įither that or holiday events. What's more, even within those two familiar worlds, most of what I'm doing is stuff I've done before. Most days I move between Guild Wars 2 and EverQuest II with scarcely a glance at anything else. For all the effort I put in a couple of weeks back, organizing and updating the many, many MMOs I thought I ought to be playing, right now I find myself sticking firmly to some very well-established favorites.
