Guild Wars 2

and he made everyone rage quit!! We were on cliffside and I targeted the chanter and asked everyone to leave him be. I even showed them how to lose agro and avoid him if he was to follow them into the hallway. Everything was going smooth and I had come back into the hallway and dropped the hammer in time to see the ranger and his pet killing the marked chanter. before I could type “STOP” he was dead. The group decided not to continue on and surprisingly enough there wasn’t any verbal bashing since the player was showing his Anet tags( red symbol to the right of his name) Im not posting the player name since I am not looking to bash him but thought it was really funny afterwards and it should be posted.

There’s an A-Net employee ranger running around with sunrise on SOR, I always get a chuckle seeing that.

When he was playing with us he had like 20 buffs running too. Crazy!

I wonder if you kick a PUG if he did that.

This is why fractals is such a mess that it is in, no one in charge know what the heck they are doing. BTW Jeff, when are you F’N going to do the fixes you mentioned. Char fractal STILL BROKEN. Cliffside STILL BROKEN. Rata Sum STILL BROKEN. Dredge fractal jumping puzzle still works.
If anyone in charge would like to do fractals I’d love to show you are the stuff messed up.

i am not surprised

anet employees dont play this game enough and most play in patch day

i remember catch anet employee takin supply from towers

most of them are pretty chill and we can make fun of them

I feel like a job requirement should be for them to play the game, that way they can actually make appropriate fixes.

The guy also tried to melee Bloomhunger…….. We picked him up after we killed it.

o_O; Do people not melee Bloomhunger? I find him a bit easier to fight in melee range.

^*2
That’s the way to go tho.

It’s better to fight Bloomhunger in melee assuming you know how to dodge. Just because someone from Anet designs the game, it does not mean they know every strategy that people use or how to play.

it depend on the lvl of the fractal. I melee it if it’s pre 40, but post 40 I just range. And inb4learntododge, I know how to dodge and I suspect most people can to a decree, but if you put it on a safe/risk scale the benefit isn’t worth. What I mean is that even if you’re really good at dodging and can dodge 10 attacks, just missing the 11th one will kill you, and dying at the proximity to the boss usually lead to party wipe when other try to rez.

It’s the samething with Lupicus and Fireshaman and some other, you can melee if you want at the risk of you can not make a mistake even once. If you want to do it with your guild sure, but pug isn’t exactly in favor of a confident vote.

Bloomhunger is really annoying to melee. There’s good chance that some circles won’t even appear (at least if everyone melees).

Trolled by an anet employee intentionally? wtf…

Granted Bloomhunger can be meleed, I choose to range simply to avoid rezing or party wipe. If this was a clan group it would be different. As proven many times pug groups can be shifty.

I don’t know if Obal’s posted his video yet but the other day our group melee’d Bloomhunger at 48 in 1:04.

Bloomhunger is easy to melee. If you don’t have aggro stand behind him.

I’m more then surprised oO
I always melee him, it’s so much easier b/c you can reflect every attack except his autoattack.
Even when I solo him I never range

On thief he’s quite hard to melee b/c if you don’t have someone in the party to put a bubble under him while he shakes, or have active/passive blocks, even if you time the barrages you’ll still get hit sometimes/more than you’d like.

I find it’s easier to surround Bloomhunger while fighting him, melee or ranged – he has a big problem hitting things that are behind him.

so we were being watched the whole time. why would an employee came into our game and messed things up and knew that we spent 3+ hours playing the game and had to quit because he did what he did. We are losing our freedom of talking on the phone, emails, chats, text, now games too? I didn’t sign up for this. If i knew this would happened? I wouldn’t buy the game. I quit supporting by buying the gems with my money because i don’t like how Anet operate, and surprisingly how many people have the same thoughts ? I’m not afraid to speak up, so what? ban me? show us if you care about the players and respect them.

The Anet employee wasn’t trolling you. The person who said that above was joking.

It doesn’t surprise me that ANET employees have no idea.

take it down. i careless if they do. they have that power. we players don’t
and i careless what they do or how they do to save money. but one thing though, you treat people right, you get what you wanted.

how would you feel about that you bought a house and previous owner invade into your house and break things up?

Wethospu.6437:

If you stay behind it this won’t happen. I have my groups just run frantically to get behind it the whole time and we don’t have a problem doing full melee.

good because i hate kids

Well I guess he gets a star for effort right >_>

to be fair, it’s not “impossible to do” the arm seal if you messed up, far from it. It’s just most people immediately proclaim doom and don’t even try.

My group messed it up about 2 days ago (all pugs), the reason is everyone but two never bother to pick up the hammer, and we wipe with one hit left. Came back with an army on both seal and the war in the group proclaimed we’re now doomed it’s impossible. I told them it’s not and we can do it if people focus. We get it done in about 5min, F-I-V-E minutes. And I wouldn’t even grade my group as a good pug. Just like last night we had a thief that immidietly bail on 2nd frac when he saw dredge was rolled, we took another in and finished it pretty quickly.

There was an anet dev in LA in gandara just now, everyone was dancing around him, he’s name was sunshine, I’m pretty sure he was like “I immediately regret this decision,”

Ethics.4519:

Seems like they are though… I see a few a on NSP every other day … not in Tags, but it’s pretty obvious who they are. But I don’t think they could ever put through a requirement that they play it WELL. =P ….that’s the operative word here.

Wait..so your whole party quit just because you actually had to fight the cultists?

Thought these were dungeons, man.

The joke’s is on you now.

On the forum everyone is a pro…
When u play instead >.< seems they hide very well because people i meet is not that good often.

Well and i bet they complete a messed fractal with 5 rangers am i right?
They don t need to rely on profession negating any mechanic like a lot of guardians and warriors true?

Can’t you pretty much tank one hit on level 48?
Anyways I don’t know if he does more projectiles at higher levels but I will next time try stay directly behind him.

I don’t really see how warriors negate mechanics. Guardians and especially mesmers do.

Even when staying behind him you might get hit by his agony attack. And we don’t have 4 aegises.

So you’re mad about an arenanet employee wanting to do the dungeon the way it’s SUPPOSED to be done? I mean seriously, it’s designed to be a challenge. It’s a dungeon, not a level 3 story quest.

… using a strategy is how it’s supposed to be done, bashing your keyboard with your face is not.

by Killing stuff before it is a threat..

Example Old Tom… who need crystals when you have enough DPS?
There are many other examples.

@Rin yamato…
How do you know that is the way supposed to be done?
If you read another topic about cliffside bug seems to me thakittens not how you say.

As stated before since you didn’t care to read it. Trolling as usual. It was a pug group and he was a ranger. Guild runs are different.

I clearly pointed out the strategy we were going with. If anyone objected then they could have right there. Yet all players agreed and so we started. You can complete it any way you want but at high lvls killing all chanters will cost you more time. Since the posts on here are all about getting it done as soon as possible your argument is moot.

I melee bloomhunger even if every1 else in the pug group ranges because im cool as kitten. One time they all wiped while ranging and i had to solo to finish him off. :/

/THIS
delete the “cool as kitten” part and replace “One time” with “Many times”

I never die on range. Stand by the tree, stagger back and forth and take out spirits. LOL, just realized that sounds like a drunk standing in the park but it allows for range and easy kill. If we tank we just circle the hungers butt or stack for buffs from guards. Obviously in this case the group I was in did not want to melee. As for the Anet dude, he just failed at it and I wasn’t going to waste time rezing or downing others to get him.

So what if he cleared one side, the arm seals can be done just fine 48+ if you know what you’re doing. I’ve had people just zone out and killed it and finished it no problem. It’s harder for sure but not a big deal.

Forestgreen, you assume too much. You can’t play a pug group and think that everyone will know what to do. That is why I EXPLAINED everything first. Granted at 48 you would think everyone would know…..

not sure if troll shielding…

.

…But I agree 100% with Byron, you can’t trust anything anyone says on these forums just b/c so few of the most vocal “Pros” ever volunteer or even RUN in pugs. They conveniently have their little private groups that maybe 1 or 2 of them ever puts out a video of which is always heavily edited as well….

The people i use to run dungeons and fractals with have pretty much quit or gone inactive. So im forced to pug. Alot of pugs will be open to doing proper tactics if you explain to them beforehand. Sometimes its just not worth the effort though.
