Guild Wars 2

Not 100 pages, yet again

#TheDreamLivesOn

This is our true challenging group content, this is our goal, our PvF. To reach 100 pages.

One day, fellas, one day.

Gotta blow trough the last 5 pages while Gaile is sleeping. >:)

Also since last thread was locked I’ll ask again.

Who wants to do a 10 hammer guard raid on saturday? (EU)

When will dungeons/fractals what ever you want to call them get new content? It has been 2 years now, is there plans to support this play style in the future with content?

We get new dungeons when we hit 100 pages

I wonder if the people that frequent this forum actually believe raids won’t end up a wasteland like fractals/dungeons given their track record and all. All those promises colin made on that stream was just pathetic tbh.

And another one bites the dust…. /crys

They will either be a wasteland or they will be so easy that it won’t matter. I don’t have high hopes for Raids. I don’t have high hopes for anything since I saw the druid…

Still, be interested to poke my head in when raids come out, since I can’t join Taku, any NA players interested in trying something similar?

Keep the discussion relevant at all times :^)

Happy 6-month anniversary, Lupi-melee-projectile-bug-report!

Here’s to many more years! raises glass

Half an year already? Pathetic. At least say it “we won’t do anything”. We get mad 1 week and that’s it. I despise with my living soul this childish silence “if I don’t look maybe it will go away”.

Anyway, what’s with the holy trinity posts lately, do they really want to feel the biggest disappointment of history or they truly believe healer and tank will be mandatory. I can’t laugh enough.

muffled ayyy lmao in the distance

Sorry, it was me. Basically after doing a few benchmarks,

• this thread: ~1.5s load times
• old thread: ~3.6s load times

ANet didn’t optimize their db good enough and large threads create unnecessary bottlenecks… and annoyances

:v

Like I said in the other thread pleaseeee record 10x guardianway raid!

I wish Dungeons or Raids in Hots will be more dynamic and unpredictable. For example, each instance will yield mobs at different spawning points as well as change bosses around so that you will not face the same boss each time and in some cases your party might face 2 or 3 bosses at the same time. Therefore, the dungeons will not be so repetitive and gets dull really fast. This will ensure more replay value.

So I just learned today that Eric Flannun and Jon Peters left Anet. What the hell :o

Peters as well? Careers are more important than a game you are passionate about. So its not really surprising.

Yahhh so… anyone that wants to join for raids? We got lots of forum pros and a nub (me).
Probably in the afternoon because we got a cook that has to work in the evenings!

i would join you for raids if my EU account was geared ;_;

You’d have to make a beta character since the raid is in the new map. Beta characters are level 80 and have gear. The question is if you pre-purchased on your EU account. I’m not going to on mine since I don’t use it as much as my NA account.

And no, I never sold any path, but I will try to solo and sell p2 on my main today. Yesterday, I failed at Lupi, trying to oneshot, and today I try again with maxed out gear (I dropped 150 Gold for this).

And even if I’m not the best player in this game, trying to oneshot Lupi SOLO is still not easy, you have to know everything about phase 1 and 2, place the wall perfectly, max out your crit etc. and even then it might fail the os and you have to go thru phase 3. It’s not like press one button and win, not at all, in pugs, where he burns thru phase 1 and there are enough targets to ensure the oneshot with wall, yes, it’s very cheap, but solo, no.

I tried to solo oneshot Lupi yesterday for many hours and couldn’t pull it off… It is definately harder than doing fractals 50 as five in a decent PUG or anything like that.

I mean, the first boss in p2 can be perma reflected, that is real cheap, Lupi requires a perfectly set up wall in a second and 5 minutes of constant kiting and dodging, as solo. That is not cheap.

And btw, why would anyone solo p2 with guard if he can just faceroll war? There must be some reason to play guard instead of warrior.

Friendly reminder that this is the audience of raids.

Wtf did i just read.

Thoughts of a pleb.

tl;dr OS Lupi takes much skill. You have to, like, spend 5 minutes soloing through phase 1, kiting him around and stuff. It’s not a cheap tactic at all, but a challenging display of skill.

Guard raid hype, count me in !!!

Uh, me o7
Wanted to try as well, think it may be the easiest way to see how challenging the contend actually is

Congratulations on defeating the Vale Guardian! Feel free to replay this encounter for the duration of the beta weekend.

You will not be able to revive players that have been completely defeated when a raid encounter is active (originally it was only during enrage). Downed is okay, so you can still get that clutch banner res off. Once a player becomes completely defeated you won’t get the interact prompt to res them.

Probably for the beta week end, for the raid.

Fells like transfusion will be more than advised… maybe res skills too ? Well they’re barely used so far so why not…
Incoming Illusion of life PUG trolling

8seconds of projectile defense, not bad for necro

“Corrosive Poison Cloud: Updated this skill to destroy projectiles that enter its area. Increased the poison stacks from 3 to 4 stacks and reduced their duration from 3 seconds to 2 seconds. Decreased the duration from 12 seconds to 8 seconds. Increased the frequency pulses from every 3 seconds to every 2 seconds.”

The animation isn’t clear enough, people can’t see it over all the effects and they kept overlapping my cloud with their reflects when I wasn’t calling it on ts. Needs a big visual upgrade.

I’d love to do this as a bit of silly fun, pity the people i know wouldn’t be interested :’(

yea, i end up always pinging it so they have an idea. Also it is a bit odd to have necro contribute anything to the group so pugs are gonna take awhile to get used to it xD

It needs to be a big bubble that looks like someone farted in it.

Then rename it the Dutch Oven

Interesting, I wonder what this means:

https://twitter.com/All_Caulle/status/649239988282875907

Ascended gear will be needed, but it has nothing to do with AR. How does that make sense?

Five (or actually more?) percent matters – assuming ascended equipment includes all armor, weapons, trinkets. There is an increase in stats, weapon attack and defense rating.

They could be talking about Full ascended Celestials or Nomads, which would be the offensive stats equivalent of Rare/Exotics lol

Maybe they are still gonna push them up to 10% after all…

Unless there is AR or something I don’t know why you would need full ascended for raids. And from what I have heard, AR isn’t a factor for raids.

A DPS check maybe ? But that doesn’t makes sense. Because if it’s this, that really mean multiple armors needed (ya know, unavoidable/blockable kitten we were talking about).

Now i’m really worried.

Plot twitst! “Unavoidable damage that must be healed” is agony-like condition that can be mitigated with higher gear tiers.

Or it’s just PR talk just like fractals were supposed to be super hard with fractured.

Anet also thought dungeons would remain super hard as well….

They’ll be hard at release, I’m sure. The real questions is: will they still be difficult after 3 years of nerfs’n’neglect?

Yeah, I don’t see how they can balance around full ascended when ascended gear have wildly different stats. Will they be balanced around runes and sigils as well? Those are a big contributor to stats.

Also, they can’t say they aren’t balancing around specific team comps, but then also say an ascended/exotic mix might not cut it later in the raid. Having one team comp over another is a bigger change than asc/exo mix vs full asc.

Pretty soon the raid bosses will start bubbling the walls, teleporting into them and going invisible for several seconds and teleport all the way to Singapore and back every time you move when they’re casting their shadowstep/teleport animations.

Then they will never get fixed or addressed, ever.

And we’ll ask, “Hey did you guys know this started happening? It looks like a bug, maybe you could check on it?”

And they’ll never even bother answering. After all, they have to get HoT ready for China, yanno?

After all, what’s more important:

a) having a game that’s fun, fresh, maintained, and supported, or
b) having a game that’s able to be sold to a wider market?
