Guild Wars 2

You can’t as far as I know.
You can get to the open one based in LA though, that one becomes automatically available to all guilds at the start of HoT.

For me its the Revenant. Or Herald more specifically. Amazing for group play and the energy management is a lot better over the thief style of initiative as you have more control.

I ran with Sword/Shield and Hammer with Glint and Shiro as legends. You need the shield as they provide a part of your healing next to Facet of light that is more there for regen and the enchanted daggers that lack a strong instant heal as well. Sword Provides the damage you need and hammer the range.

Glint has a lot of group support bringing either boon duration, regen, fury, swiftness, might and protection or a mix of some with some nice actives. Using Facet of strength to build up might and then using the active once the group can sustain 25 stacks gives a nice amount of vulnerability and frees up energy to use for other skills.

The reason I use Shiro is for engaging from far away mostly and with nice burst of supper speed with quickness for the times you just need to run, fight fast or scrape a teammate of the ground as quickly as possible

Missed out on loot in dungeons for the weekend, but had a lot of fun with a class I know will be my main as soon as it’s available.

The scrapper really is missing something special that a normal engi cant have. It changes nothing to your core mechanic.

+1. but sadly too late for such a drastic change.

Airwolf – it has been a looong time since I’ve seen an actually good looking mesmer in this forum. You are one of them. Mind if you tell me what silver dye this is? Cinders?

Thanks
And its standard silver actually. Divinity’s Reach’s lighting just makes it look a lot darker. So that is why one of the images is from character select because the lighting there is neutral.

My main character that I made at the game launch, Neomarica. Appearance changed a bit over the years though. Mostly the hair style.

Did not get my birthday gifts at the 1 year anniversary. friends ended up getting double. And this time I did not get the reward as well… Please put some work behind the game and stop pretending that this was just a accident that could not be prevented with better work.

My block list is growing fast today with all the spam of this code.

at least during the tournament seasons this needs to be changed. as well as how the maps fill / stay filled.

I hate being outnumbered all the time. I’m blue and green just has 4 times the amount of people we have on some maps more even. The moment they deside to defend. we cant cap a thing. and if the want a point, we cant defend it. It just takes all the fun away. maybe this needs a cap anyway. then we will have queues. But so be it, at least the zerg Vs zerg will be a lot less one sided.

Even heard someone saying that if red+blue have more points combined than green. it is going well. Is that really what you want for EotM

We need a cap on the amount of overflows or something intill the other maps catch up. so at least a server is filled from all sides instead of breaking the incomplete sides from getting the much needed members.

(I know this is a thread necro, but this is one of the better threads i found on this subject)

And my own mesmer, Neomarica

from a while ago. mesmers everywhere

Coming from Ether Feast, the signet is a big mental shift. When I’m playing in WvW, what I trained myself to do (good or bad) with Ether Feast was to watch for a big health drop and then try to use it. I think in most fights against other players, it’s fairly common to get big drops in health.

My goal is not to use the active on the signet except for when I’m nearly gone – then I have a race to get more damage out (and I should have one or two phantasms readily available – depends on where weapon swap cooldown is). If I’m at deaths door in my typical 1v1 or small group fights, getting 5586 healing and two fresh phantasms is probably better than getting 6876 (ether feast with two illusions).

From a math perspective, I’m looking at this:

I expect signet to average around 220 hps. That’s based on an average of two clones or phantasms out when the tick happens. It’s tricky because illusions die, targets die, and sometimes I shatter.

If I only had two illusions out when I cast Ether Feast, it would heal for 6876.

So when a spike in damage comes, I need to be able to hold out without taking any more damage for about 31 seconds at my 220 hps to get back to the same place that Ether Feast would have put me with the 6876 heal. So I think the problem is that playing with the signet will mean I find myself dropping lower on health more often and feeling like I have to use the signet.

I need to test it a lot more to find out if I’m happy with this. It’s certainly going to feel more stressful at first. I’m working on finding ways to blunt the bursts because that’s the real issue here for me. When the fights don’t have big bursts of damage (like most of the fights I have in PVE), the signet seems great

Be warned though. there is a 35 second interval after the activation of the signet where you have no healing whatsoever. You can trait it to 28 seconds (what you WILL need to do) but that still is a period in witch you can not rely on the passive effect.

But If your build allows you to not use heal for a longer period of time. then maybe it will work.

I won’t even bother using this heal skill. I’m using a zerker mesmer and have phantasms up all the time. but ether feast wins by a long shot. and the mantra has the best potential over all mesmer heal skills.

Trying to get up to the elite shop in W1Z3, getting to the top of the hollow log, and being knocked down to my death by clouds.

Until last night this was the hardest one for me too.

But now this has been replaced by the pole/trampoline/fishes gauntlet at the very end of W2Z2. It wouldn’t be so bad – except that the subsequent ‘cloud-buddy’ doesn’t work and instead ports you back to the checkpoint – forcing you to do the entire pole/trampoline/fishes gauntlet again :/

I hope W2Z3 doesn’t have anything this horrendous.

Small thing what you have to do at that fish part. Stay as left as possible so you can run in a straight line and never EVER walk straight towards a pool.

Nijjion.2069:

Any part with tribulation clouds they are ruthless… especially the part with the puzzle moving the countless block in W2Z2.

^This one. The Tribulation cloud at the arrow trap puzzle.

If only I could kill that kitten cloud. I need a vacuum cleaner or something. Play luigi’s Haunted Mansion with tribulation clouds >:)

Thank you very much for that. Made it to the next checkpoint.

So can anyone tell me the new route here? The way you had to go normally in tribulation mode has been removed and there are no patch notes listing this change.

That checkpoint in W2Z2 before the pillars was made for people who could not manage to go through 2 kitten portals. And they didn’t even think about what it would do in tribulation… Just great.

Of-course they want you to buy that coin. But people like me who speedrun normal world 1 in 13 minutes…. Really needed a new challenge. Even if trial and error. it was something else and is best to be seen loose from normal SAB.

P.S. cant wait for Halloween. I want my mad king’s clock tower.

See that rock in the middle? thats me. a nice bunny helped me out.

(if you get stuck in the log from the bell. move as close to the standing platform as you can.)

For now what you have to do is grab your shovel and dig. Dig till a angry bunny comes out and kills you. takes time. But better than restarting

The new world 2 is a joke. That is all I have to say.

Finally a bunny… but still. there has to be a different way added in to get out of these situations.

Busy digging for a while now. No rabbit found still. hope they can even spawn in this map or if they can spawn where i am at.

I could quickly make a screenshot when switching to my map. Stuck in the terrain right before the boss with no way out. So much time and so many death all wasted because of a freaking bug. Please! add a button so you can port to the last checkpoint or something… fml.

Small edit: In tribulation mode even q_q

Ampris.5321:

my main has also not received her bday present, but my other characters (all made on day 1) have.

the only thing i can think of is makeover kit.

makeover kit ‘reset’ birthday because its considered a new char?

I Did use it… But it would be quite bad if it did,

At this point I think it’s pretty much intended. At least it’s always been the case.

Same here. Still nothing. A bit late for a “wave”.

What IS easy is CoF. Yes i know it’s grinding. And people don’t like it and stuff. But it’s easy gold nonetheless.

They work with the banner tonic :p If you /dance it will even twirl around and stuff

Anything with “guild” on it means that your guild will be helping out on purchasing any “guild” related items. Just like the commander title, every one in our guild pitched in to give our guild leader the title — and that’s 100 gold.

So for the kite, if each member of your guild pitch in, you don’t have to fork-up the whole cost of the kite since it is for the guild.

With your guild helping you, nothing is really expensive.

It depends on the guild type more or less. If your guild build up out of a group of friends than it could be (unless almost all would get one that would not spare you much anyway). But if your guild consists out of a larger base with more unknown people to you, a commander tag would be fine. But in the end it is more or less a simple toy. And I would not just give any random person money for it just so they can get it cheap and represent another guild sooner or later.

Well, there is your problem, you’re not seeing the wisdom of generosity. You already suspect that someone will represent another guild instead of giving them the benefit of a doubt. Let’s just say that they did that, how much did that cost you? 1g? Not something to be worked up about.

To me, if you help your fellow guild members, they are more than likely to help you out when you need it — even getting a silly toy.

Its more the style of guilds we are in i guess. My guild has a small group of people who represent full time. To that part i would do exactly what you say. (they even helped me with the last part of my legendary.

The rest however are part representers. They all are from small guilds connected to ours. in a way that they represent at times our guild hosts guild events. They do not contribute to the guild in other ways. but it makes it so a group of smaller guilds gets the player base to do bigger events.

The second part is why i say what i say on this matter.

Guild armor and weapons a ridiculously cheap compared to this, and this is for a toy kite. “Greed” has nothing to do with it. Compared to other guild-marked stuff, the kite skin is stupidly overpriced.

It’s just a toy. You want the toy, but you don’t want to spend that much gold on it—so yes, greed has everything to do with it.

Edit: It’s also probably the biggest, most eye-catching way to display your guild emblem, so there’s that.

I display mine properly by farming people in the obsidian jp =P

Good guy griefer.

Camping and griefing in the obsidian sanctum is nothing new. One group sees it as fun (or a easy way to get wvw ranks). the others just want an achievement. Go in when the kiddies are sleeping and all is just fine.

Would i care if they never made the item? No i never thought about such item. Did i want it would i know it was coming? Yes.

For the record, I now do own a kite that I bought from the gem store.

My way in this is staying away from the sanctum sprint. because the only thing I’ll be doing is trying to beat my own time XD.

Anyway. Good luck to those who are still going for it. Keep on trying, you’ll get there.

I know someone who has done 10% of the jumping puzzles in the game on his own. the rest he got by my help with mesmer portals.

On his 25th sanctum sprint he got first place. He worked hard and it payed off. He got the title and he deserves it.

Getting the title by begging your way through makes the title worth less in my opinion.

1st place is for those who got that place by working for it. A title without working for it? No Way.

JustTrogdor.7892:

This thread reminds me of something I didn’t notice until today. As you head from the bottom WP up to the Zephyr and land at the last lightning pull there is a child and a woman NPC. Every so often the dialog goes like this:

Child: I want! I want! I want one mom!

Mother: Okay you can have one.

Child: But I want two! I want two!

I cracked up when I heard that. It reminds me of this forum every time there is some new skin, fun item, reward, or gift. I wonder if it was intentional.

Meh. its more like this

Child: I want! I want! I want one mom!

Mother: No son, you asked to late.

Child: Cries.

No I did not. I thought the “thanks for buying gems” was a one time thing only applying to the mini’s. And bought the gems because i wanted to buy items from the gemstore. 6 days later they DO come with another but this happened.

I get the monthly thing they are trying to do. but bringing it out halfway this month and not including the people who bought gems in the first half is just backhanded. (got the mini’s, I’d trade them for the kite though)

Quite recently, 10 Jul, I bought €20 worth of gems. And today people are getting kites for purchasing gems in the past months. But for some reason the people who bought gems THIS month (me included) get the cold shoulder and are left with nothing but an open inventory slot. Why the hell is that!?!?

Manuhell.2759:

Well, they should just disable the afk timer if you’ve finished the race.

Yes that is what I mean. The timer at the end takes 4 min sometimes. Why would you not be allowed afk to wait for the next race? It’s boring to move all the time to make sure you don’t disconnect.

Wonder what the reason is for putting the sprint in pvp like this. the irritating addition in the sPvP’s AFK timer. Once you end you cant even go afk for 2 minutes or you will get disconnected… And not even to the bazaar or anything, but back to character select!

Rip flaming effigy piece. Just a light source that helps getting past the campers in the JP while in stealth. But for some reason they were disabled. Whats next, fireworks?

But why did they have to remove the flaming effigy pieces. Those were the only way that i could do the jumping puzzle at times so i could do the JP in stealth. Not overpowered or anything. Just a simple light source usable while under the stealth of a fountain. And now its gone.
