bug squeeze

page 90. 10 pages to go until this gets locked

This be locked before we reach 100 unfortunately…

Kordash.2197:

This be locked before we reach 100 unfortunately…

With the excuse that it’s gotten too off-topic to cover up that everything will break when a thread reaches 100 pages because the forum devs are lazy.

Do they have like an alarm that goes off when a thread is dangerously nearing the feared 100 nuke?

Shhhh, guys!

Forum devs? Where the kitten do you think you are? :P

And everything doesn’t break at 100 pages. Just Gaile’s laptop, as I recall

Gotta post here atleast once before everything breaks if that’s what’s gonna happen. Hi guise, long time lurker and dungeon enthusiast here just wanting to leave a tiny mark.

Heya there o/

Well, i think when we reach 95, we should start spamming answers, altogether, and MAYBE we’ll reach 100.

Forum breaking is now the new meta.

Previous thread was locked before 100 because people just kept spamming useless stuff to fill it up. And so far this one seems to be heading in the same direction.

^ what Taku said.

This came up in another thread, but this is interesting. Nothing new or surprising, but confirmation that dungeons are dead:

MMORPG: What about traditional group dungeons? Are you pretty much done with those for now? Leaving them as part of the leveling experience? Or will group dungeons be making a return?

Colin: We’re treating Fractals of the Mists as our focus on end-game five-player dungeon content. And all additions we make to make five player dungeon content more fun will expand on Fractals. And then raids will be the next level of that.

MMORPG: Was it that you noticed people were playing the fractals a lot more than they were the traditional dungeons, so you turned your focus on the fractals? Using metrics, or…?

Colin: All of the above? When you hear dungeons in GW2, it means something very different than Fractals. Fractals were sort of the evolution of our dungeon system. We are making them more approachable. We feel like Raids mean something else too, something even harder than Fractals. So when we needed to take a look and see what kind of content we could focus on as being the most challenging yet rewarding, it became clear that it was all about fractals and raids.

MMORPG: There’s a lot of story content that’s packed into those dungeons, with Destiny’s Edge, and… I guess is there’s any way you might bring some of those story modes or incentivize people to play them again? I guess, my point is that they seem forgotten, but they shouldn’t be!

Colin: Right now we’re not really focused on that. We see the LFG used well for that, and I think that’s for now the “solution” to finding groups to experience story modes. But we’ll of course always watch the status of things on the live servers and make adjustments as needed.

Here’s to raiding! Let’s hope they don’t abandon them so soon.

Also, I noticed this during the announcements, and want to hear you guys’ thoughts on it. I think this would be the right way to go, but who knows:

So, 2X on my 30 fractal last night, 3rd fractal, Thaumanova, everyone crashes after activating the side events… fun stuff. ANet didn’t want me to do a 30 last night.

“Tactics like combo field manipulation, proper damage maximization, and damage mitigation for your profession will be vital to your success.”

Hype successfully neutralized. Have fun with your raids.

Meh, could mean aegis/block/blind/evade/reflect/etc. “Damage mitigation” is the word we’ve used here for ages to refer to these mechanics.

Unrelated, found this today: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Help-with-SE-path-1

Two big lols:
1) Red post saying “use forum search before posting” LOL
2) SE1 golem boss used to be a difficult DPS check? LOL

What a gem.

I got a lot of good from that new article:

- multiphase bosses
- enrage timers
- raid-specific masteries

some bad:

- they do mention that toughness gear may be ideal for some situations (though perhaps not absolutely required, I hope).
- Unique rewards only once per week. I hope they still give some gold reward or similar for repeating it within a week…

Not sure I’d put masteries in the good category. “Hey you’re not going to have to jump through any hoops to do these raids! just propel your body through this circular pipe… what? it’s not the same thing!”

Nope, twice last night… twice! 3rd fractal each time.

“And if you fail to fill these roles? You’re going to have a bad time. But don’t worry, as we’re leaving you a repair anvil at the entrance. You know—to collect your tears on.”

This doesnt look like Anet at all! But I love it!

Some devs have a lil more bite than the average (Cleary 1st one that comes to mind, or Foreman). Most though… not so much.

Yes — this is the attitude I want to see in the raid devs.

Come at us, bros.

Oh god FFX…

My favorite RPG from 10 years ago x_x

Dangit Talyn your picture makes me want to go upstairs and dust off my PS2 now and it’s like 1 am ;-;

heh, sorry about that. The pic just seemed to fit.

I return from WvW with my armor battered, my weapons bloody, a sense of victory and the painful resurctions of defeat. Epic fights all around!

So Raids…yeah.

Been some information released while I was away, along with the usual bingo topics. Glad I didn’t miss much.

Did some thinking. While I am looking fowards to raids, I realized I don’t exactly have ten friends with whom I could really run them with, unless some people come back that I am not expecting too. And I really don’t want to think about pugging them.

You all kinda know me. I am a bit of lurker and a troll. But I am not that bad…ok… I am not always that bad….ok ok. I am that bad, but I do have redeming qualties. They are there somewhere! I promise.

My guild is a wvw guild, and I am not sure how many are really going to be intrested in Raid Content. Some I am sure. But with the changes to gulids coming up with HoT, I was thinking it might be time to spread my wings a bit. Of course depending on how the new Guild Rep system works. But I would like to find a group for doing more PvE stuff with.

So a bit about me. Been playing Guild Wars since the Guild Wars 1 beta weekend. I enjoy all parts of Guild Wars 2, from PvP to WvW to PvP.

I have dungeon master, dungeoner and personal rewards level 50 for FotM. I use meta builds, but more importantly, I understand Why meta builds work and how to change my skills and build around as needed based on encounters and my group.

My perfered class is guardian, I know it best. Second is warrior. Although I can if needed play other classes, my skill with them varies. (Got at least one of the 8 soon to be 9 at 80, some more then one). I have soloed lupi, (not that its a huge deal) but not recently.

Lets see any thing else important?

Favorte movie: Fight Club

Favorite TV show: Farscape

Favorite book series: Dresden files

Zodiac sign: Aquarius

Hobbies: Reading, gaming and Writing.

Uhm, I like long runs skipping mobs that drop trash and killing stuff quickly. I also like to think I am pretty easy to get along with, showing mutial respect as it is deserved.

Oh, and if it wasn’t obvious from my Signature, looking for a raiding Guild on NA servers.

TL:DR I am a kitten looking for a Group of Friends or a relaxed dungeon guild.

I have the feeling that this game doesnt have enough people intrrested in raids. Actually in my 500 members guild I dont think I can gather 10 for raiding. And I would bet Anet thinks the same. The wing system is a good way to test that.

wtf does your guild do if so few in a 500man guild would want raids? Sit in LA spamming mapchat and reading forums because it to scary outside the zone!?

gathering AP basically.

Move to eu, Tallinn? <.<

Corran.4957:

From my experience around 60/500 are actually active and around 10 know how to play. That’s how huge guilds roll.

In my case, they clean inactive players. Meaning guild chat is always full of begginers questions and that I dont really care for 495 guildies.

I read this suggestion on reddit… players over lvl 18 get turned into mordrems and hunt down newbies.
Plz make it happen. Plz. First intelligent thing I read on there.

deSade.9437:

I have thought about it.

But I am allergic to lag, and I got a couple of friends who would kill me if I moved to where I couldn’t play with them. They are like the only three I have left, but they are really good ones.

I have thought about creating a Free account on EU to see how bad it would be to laggy.

If you have Time Warner prepare to get kittened relentlessly.

You won’t be rubberbanding, you’ll be slingshotting.

Talynn, go EU to play with me, Gab n’ Tommy.

Gab always hates when I have to do guild stuff..

kitten elitist, You just awnt to discriminate against people for using builds they find fun. You’re trash, and you’re the reason dungeons aren’t fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If GW2 supported URL sharing I’d always ask that from pugs.

Dat GS tho.

And now for something completely different.

Skill Targeting
1001462_0163 Allow Skill Retargeting
1001463_0638 When using a skill that targets enemies, changing your target will cause the skill to update with the new target.
1058992_0365 Snap Ground Target to Current Target
1058994_0653 The ground-target marker will reposition itself to your current target’s position so long as it is within range.

Seems like nice PvE QoL changes esp for engineers.

It seems that Whiteside F2P server launch is happening 29 september. Any filthy elitists out here who are going to try it out?

I’m planning to jump back on it for a while and see what’s new. Depends on how GW2 raiding goes, though…

Quickfoot Katana.8642:

I’ll probably give it a whirl again. I just lacked (maybe still do?) the motivation to start another MMO when I tried before. Just so much to learn and master in an MMO that it’s a pretty daunting task, plus learning the new UI and all that. I will say Whiteside made me appreciate a lot of things about GW2, though of course with that came that sinking feeling thinking about how much potential this game has but left untapped. Here’s hoping my guesses about raids are wrong.

I bought an account during the humble bundle just for that; didn’t play much yet but it seems nice enough.

Currently a bit busy with MGSV, which is clearly a GotY title

Isn’t whiteside ‘murican? I lag while playing on eu servers, can’t imagine it being feasible u.u I may try tho.
Those graphics… no fashion for me in wuldstuhr, that’s for sure.

Let’s Party!

Let’s get a little crazy!

I was born crazy, so I’m the soul of every party! (especially when kittenfaced)
Let’s play “do what I say, don’t do what I do”… or the blindfold game.

Bwahahaha, I love this filter. “kittenfaced”, lol.
