Guild Wars 2

Only daily end rewards were capped at once per day. Boss chests inside dungeons are now capped at 1 per day. Which is kind of silly seeing as they already had terrible loot.

What makes them think nerfing boss chests does anything good at all?

Oh interesting. Weird.

All it does is stop cof/ta farm which they already fixed when they added the daily end reward. :P

I guess it’s to avoid the dungeons to become the new champion farm locations given that the Frostgorge Sound train was nerfed to the ground.

It wasnt.

TC has already found a new route and it’s more profitable than before.

Interesting.

Well, the FGS train has been nerfed to the ground, that’s why it’s now a multimap train.

I stand by what I said: ArenaNet saw one step further and limited dungeon farms before it became a problem. They didn’t see two steps furthers with the new route.

So… is it really true you can only do 1 path per day? Like you can’t do cof 1 and then Arah 1 and get gold rewards for both?

I’m blown away. I severely misunderstood what you said, Spoj. This must be a bug…. right?

Of course you can still do them all, just once a day each path will give full rewards.

So what does this mean for CoE P2/3 at the gun protection section?

Bad news.

No what it means is, if you farm the first boss of CMp3 over and over again you can’t loot his chest over and over again. Or the first boss in hotw which many bots were doing.

Best thread of the day.

Too… much… oh god… unjustified zerker hate…

Banzie.5248:

Pretty sure mixing several stat combos was and will be the best way to DPS, zerker isn’t and wasn’t the best before either. Don’t know how so many people got it into their heads. It was generally the cheapest set that was pure DPS with a bit of everything that was needed to DPS, again it was not the best before I don’t see how it would be now.

Larenc.1269:

Question would an ele that does double the dmg of the best zerker be aloud to go with you ;3

Wondering if I should put one of those in my signature. Pure gold.
I’ll keep digging for more

Remove contested dungeons and just have them open all the time. Nobody wants to do your kitten content to open them and with the mega server garbage you guys did we can no longer guest to an open one. Thanks for kittening us over

Can someone enlighten me about how the earth attack of Subject Alpha works exactly? I’m always standing inside him without melee assist and get almost one shotted on Ele.

They fixed it so standing inside him no longer avoids it. You have to dodge (near impossible in melee). You can sort of predict it and if your group has enough dps you can just fgs burst before it becomes a problem. But yeah them fixing that attack is the reason i decided not to pug coe on my ele anymore.

If you wait until the very last split second to dodge the ice attack (at least on P3) your dodge frames will carry over to the earth attack. It’s probably too risky to consistently attempt, though, but nice when you accidentally get it.

Or you just stunlock him. Huehuehue…

Yeah, dodge is sadly a no go.
Another issue i rarely experienced, that Alpha can’t be knockbacked to the wall.
Immune to mesmer focus and GS5, guardian pull can’t even move him, ports back to his original position after a LH knockback etc.
Bad luck or there is something again i’m not aware of?

ps: Warrior fear works like a charm on him.

Hes just annoying to cc. I havent done coe recently but focus pull always worked fine for me.

You can always sploit over the gate and LoS him into the corner before your team gets there.

sometimes he can get chilled by the adds and not go the full way.

Focus ignores chill and pulls full distance. Also, there is a way to position alpha where the cone attack misses you… maybe I’ll make a vid or something XD

If I see a pug dungeon group is going too fast and clearing bosses easily I will swap from fresh air zerk to my wvw gear, swap FGS for glyph and use a 0/10/0/30/30 build just to make everything longer and slower.

I love you!

Another question.

Is still Scholar the best rune for PvE, right?
Strenght only good for pugging and for might stacking classes such as Ele, Warrior and Engi.

Organized groups = scholar

Pugging and soloing = Strength

Is it bad that I don’t believe anyone outside the dungeon forum regulars (and two guys in bltc forum)?

You can trust Nike too, even if he can’t post here anymore (rip Nike).

Definitely trust Nike. Can’t believe he got perma-banned for what he did. *smh

What did he do? :O

Remember that video of him getting an uninfused ring from lv 50? Posting it in the CDI thread was apparently the last straw for him and so they gave him a perm ban.

I genuinely lol’ed in front of the screen like an idiot.
This is absolute gold, more than my rangie’s armor.

This is why you have people arguing on the forum about stacking being bad.

They don’t understand why people stack.

Nike Porphyrogenita/Nikephoros just to clarify. The other Nike in the forum has no idea what he’s talking about and suggested Fractals having a crafting panel – so don’t get the two mixed up.

Yeah, I know which one. That other Nike has no idea what he’s talking about. RIP in peace Nike. You are missed in the forums sir.

Of course I meant Real Nike, but ain’t no one got the time to look up how to spell the second part of his name.

this 100% – people don’t understand why stacking is a good strategy in some scenarios and why it’s unnecessary/bad in others. I got kicked from an SE p1 pug yesterday because I wasn’t stacking for Tazza; we had an ele but it never used fiery greatsword (not even at the 3 golems).

people who don’t know when to stack pug => force others to mindlessly stack => wipes etc. => stacking is bad

or they think it’s an exploit. whatever.

People keep asking for Hard Mode in GW2. I humbly present the following hard mode:

Open up LFG—> Dungeons—>Ruined City of Arah—>Advertise party

“Path (whatever), Melee Lupi, Experienced” or something along those lines.

Get in your PuG an AP hunting ele, a Warrior that doesn’t have any idea what he’s/she’s doing, a Guard that’s running staff and a mesmer that seems to know what he’s doing.

Get to Lupi.

Ask in party chat “Meleeing Lupi, right? Mes get 1st fb, Guard, 2nd.”
Mes: “Ok.”
Guard: "huh? what do i reflect? when?
War: no response
Ele: r

Fight Lupi. Mes uses feedback in phase 1. Ele ranges. Warrior spawns grubs. Guard gets kicked/locust’d to death.

PuGging IS hard mode!!!!

That’s called PuG roulette, one of my favourite activities

You’re meant to write “Path (number) anyone welcome” if you want to get the worst players.

As long as your lag isn’t being stupid making it impossible to dodge alphard pulls or lupicus swipes you should have a blast running ahead and soloing basically every fight.

Yeah, it wasn’t too bad at first, had to solo Lupi a couple times, but then my mouse stopped responding to my button pressing…. Annoying as all hell. Anyway, it IS kinda fun soloing Lupi/other bosses when pugs all wipe. You’re colsey, right hendo? I remember one of the images you posted where everyone is bowing to you. That’s always nice.

Colesy, at first I didn’t trust your screens. But then I pugged Arah in what was advertised as “zerk melee ping gear, etc…”. Killed Lupi solo… Even EU pugs are better :’(

EU pugs definitely aren’t better.

I soloed Lupi for one EU group and one of them ended up making a warrior and naming it after mine.

EU pugs were definitely a lot more grateful though – whenever I sold Arah they seemed so much grateful for it than NA buyers, and whenever I soloed parts of Arah – well I’d say there the NA pugs probably got the upper hand. I had this legendary run like a month ago with people basically repeatedly worshipping me from Lupicus onwards and then we did p1 and p2 and the same stuff continued. So happy I took caps of the dialogue because they were seriously the greatest runs of Arah I’ve ever had, it was just so funny.

So apparently, if the party leader leaves the group/instance (destroying it) before you can finish or click out of the cinematic, you don’t get credit for reward tracks or completion. What a fantastic waste of an hour and a half.

Last night.
Pug gear checked, zerker gear with golemancer runes.
Everybody wonders whyyyyyyyyyy, so we asked him.
“Strength runes are too expensive.”
So we tried to explain Scholar is still better (or can be), cheaper and at least buy some ruby orbs, those are cheap as kitten.
Namecalling, block, leave. But i wanted to send him a few ruby orbs. :C

Another one. Finally i met a sword ranger. But he refused to ever use FGS (we got 2 ele) and pushed away Alpha all the time. It turned out he couldn’t speak english, so he didn’t understand a single word. :/

Oh and a few golden moments.

Please read kthx.

about this version to Rune.
I fill too many people use the Rune of Strength.
It;s really useful i feel good.
but,compared to other Rune. 
Other Rune appear to be weak.
I think this is not comply with ArenaNet’s design idea.
I hope other Rune may be more useful.
