Guild Wars 2

Why would yall have the maint at the same time as NA reset and not tell NA? :/ I’m fine with things being taken down to be worked on, but some communication would be nice.

To be honest, I’d just shift the outter wall they jump at outward a 300-600 unit distance. That’d be less detrimental, in my opinion, than moving the cannon, putting an invisible wall, or messing with inner.

I wish if you got him down past 50% he didn’t heal up when he went into phase 2. Every time I see that happen I have a “FeelsBadMan” moment.

Adding my two copper… A mystic forge merchant UI for those that have the Mystic Forge Conduit would be nice too. I have the thing to be able to MF stuff whenever I need to it kinda defeats the purpose of the convenience item if I have to go to the actual mystic forge just to buy something from the merchant.

The problem I see with ghost thief right now is the inconsistency in Anet’s approach to applying conditions from stealth. I recall that thief shortbow 4 (Choking Gas) was changed to do a small amount of damage so that it WOULD reveal the user so they couldn’t just keep applying conditions from stealth. Wiki says that change was made in September of 2014. However, Needle Trap was changed in June of 2015 to REMOVE the damage that it did to prevent a thief from being revealed while still allowing condition application.

I personally like the stance that was taken in September 2014 with the change to choking gas. I would urge Anet to reapply the small portion of damage that needle trap used to do. I believe that would solve the issue of this “Ghost Thief” build.

Adding armor sets (skins) to the gems store instead of only outfits would works as a gold sink at least for me.

Seconded. Mostly because I’m sick and tired of the outfits that you can’t customize and therefore HAVE to look the same as anyone else wearing the outfit.

Inb4 plot twist: Braham turns into the next edgelord villian.

Kamara.4187:

That’s why I hate server linking. There is no way to escape from servers that do this. Truth is if there wasn’t linking they would find themselves all alone because everyone is sick of it.

BG isn’t even linked with anyone.

I completely and wholeheartedly agree with this suggestion.

Just received my refunded karma. Much appreciated! Thank you for the extra steps that were taken to do that <3

Happened to me too. Lost about 1mil. Didn’t really worry too much about it though since I don’t use karma. However, I do agree that this is something that needs to be fixed. If it’s a “you can buy ONE per reset” type of item in the vendors then we should not be able to use the counter for buying multiples of an item.

To be honest they could do the rank icons, and then various amounts of stars to represent bronze, silver etc.

That being said, I’m not going to judge the new system for a couple more days until I can get used to it. I can see the simplicity of going down to just the colors for labels. Just means I’ll have to actually remember who is what color when making scout reports ….or just say the color cause I’m lazy.

I’ve run around to several different objectives in WvW and almost all have given an issue with it bugging out and not progressing the capture bar when all enemies are dead.

If you know the general mechanics, yes. Even if you don’t they’re fairly simple to figure out.

That said, there IS an in game Looking For Group (LFG) feature if you open your contacts and then go down to the second tab. It’s the magnifying glass icon. There, it has subsections for multiple different aspects of the game including dungeons.

There was a rework to dungeons so now every 8 DIFFERENT paths you do you will get 5g from a repeatable achievement.

appletoasty.7062:

- All levels of scribing paper (Sheet of Coarse Paper, Sheet of Coarse Sandpaper, Sheet of Smooth paper, etc…)
- Crystalline Bottles
- Milling Basins (pleaseeeee)
- Philo stones
- Mystic crystals
-Baubles
-Bauble Bubbles
-Tomes of Knowledge

- +1 agony infusions (I know this one is a stretch… but I can dream)

Agree 10000% for the scribe stuff! Agony infusions would be lovely, too.

-Mystic Forge Stones
-Bags of Mortar (another scribe mat bought from the vendor)
-Experience Scrolls (the ones you get from character birthdays…)
-Essence of Luck
-Strategic Defense Maps of the Mist (more scribing things.)

Also, this isn’t a material storage thing, but a wallet storage thing… Map “key” items used for chests and such would be LOVELY if they were added to the wallet… The Pact Crowbars, Machetes, Bandit Skeleton Keys, Zephyrite Lockpicks, etc.

I like your suggestions! +1’d for how organized you were with the format and ideas

Puck.9612:

Hop on an engi and use magnet from stealth to pull them into the legendary defenders,

This made me laugh at work and all my co-workers gave me weird looks >.<

As stated, just stick a delay on. Instead of turning map/team chat off you can stick an image on the scene where your chat box would be. I use OBS for streaming/recording. If you have questions on how to do this I’d be happy to help. It’s super easy and you can do it with any image. So you can make a fun signature type thing or just a silly picture of a skritt and slap it over the chat box that’ll only show up on the recordings and not actually in game.

X T D.6458:

It would be nice if the food was sorted in some way

Yes. If there was drop down category things for the main stat of the foods that’d be great… I’m thinking kind of how you can sort the pvp amulets, but in a style how gw2skills build editor sorts food when you set it to WvW mode or PvE.

As a sidenote… I LOVE that you can use it to quickly grab food even in PvE. I almost never carry food with me now cause I can just pop the provisioner foods on any character That’s good cause I used to carry around like 3-5 different sets of food >.>

edit: I failed at grammar.

Just as another situational thing to add. I would sometimes forward scout and hover around tags and just take camps and sentries ahead of them. Having the scout thing tacked on me would actually hurt my participation cause I was actually doing more little things to easily maintain participation than the larger group that was in a zerg fight or working on a longer siege. (I’m not entirely sure what counts for scout participation, but I don’t think that player kills by the group count for scouts participation. I could be wrong though. It’s been a while since I had that tag stuck on me.) So that’s my reasoning why I don’t join squad or would ask to NOT have the squad scout thing tacked on.

Just as a personal preference thing… I LOVE love love when necros are in the group and they run Vampiric Presence. I play a condi druid and the leeching from that party wide aura helps maintain Grace of the Land by giving amazing astral force generation without needing to use a staff

Hoard everything! >:V

In all seriousness though, I had been finishing up my legendary backpiece so I had been using all my relics and pristines on the collections for that. (I had a serious “ALL MY ALTS NEED AN ASCENDED BACKPIECE!” problem before HoT so I didn’t have an abundance of relics going into this collection xD ) I’ll probably just start hoarding my relics now that I don’t have anything to spend them on presently.

Watch out. If she’s REALLY desperate to warn us of our clouded future she might start getting creative with leaves, rocks, and mud.

No, it’s a flat value of around 1k if I remember correctly. Back before they made the changes to DH longbow 5 it was AMAZING to have on the bow.

Edit: Wiki’d the sigil for exact damage and healing values. 1140 is the damage, and 1023 is what you get healed for per interrupt. Wiki Link Here

zengara.8301:

Think I will just go for the meta build on the roaming parts, as for example thief->d/p the pistol is for improving survive-ability etc.

I don´t know, after Alpine BL is changed the roaming seems to be rather limited, EB is usually on a que for quiet a while, the border lands as I wrote is limited, filled with up and downs which makes the map bigger since it got different levels to be on, and not as easely accepted since it is filled with walls blocking off certain areas and need a small blob to gain access through places, which again seem to make it unlikely to see roamers on prime.

Are you referring to the barricades? If so, anet removed all of them and smoothed out the terrain to make it easier and more open to navigate.

I don’t think I explained the issue properly. The problem isn’t breaking the bar. The problem is that pre-HoT the mechanics of the fight were to use knockbacks and fears to keep them apart. Now with breakbars, that just is not possible because all that will do is drain the bar and then stun. Not actually move the mob.

SlyDevil.3952:

Asami.3572:

When you have the instability that reduces your endurance regen on top of how often those knockbacks are spammed, yes.

You know you can blind those attacks by inflicting blind on the source?

I actually didn’t know that. Thank you for the tip Recently got back into fractals after a hiatus from them when the rewards were all wonky.

I wouldn’t really classify this as a bug… just a mechanical oversight with the introduction of breakbars.

So recently I got bored and went to go do AC story with my druid. I had no issues with anything up until I got to the part where you fight Vassar and Ralena. The fights mechanics involve keeping the two bosses away from each other using fears, knockbacks, launches, or just throwing the boulders at them that are around the room. The problem is that breakbars don’t allow that kind of control anymore. You cannot use any type of control effect on them to keep them away from each other.

I managed to lure Ralena away from Vassar and trap her in the corridor that you can access by standing on the buttons and closed the door on her. However, it was a pain in the butt and required multiple tries to get her to actually come into the corridor and not leash back into the room.

If you’re looking to be running in the frontline, I’d take a look at running sword/warhorn and hammer instead of a greatsword. Warhorn got a buff recently in the form of the conditions cured from the Quick Breathing trait. It’s great for supporting your fellow frontliners by keeping some condi off them.

Plus the F1 skill you get with sword is good for locking down enemies because you can use that and weapon swap to hammer and it’ll still give the full duration of the immobilize on the Sword F1.

When you have the instability that reduces your endurance regen on top of how often those knockbacks are spammed, yes.

I miss the days when you could kill the top part of the Elemental kitten Source and stop it from doing that knockback with swirling winds animation. Made the entire encounter a bit less annoying when you weren’t having to dodge two knockbacks that it spammed at you. You just had to deal with the one >_>

Today, while playing on the BG + ET linked I noticed that yaks that normally would go from the North West and North East camps to Earth keep weren’t actually moving out of the camp. They weren’t being killed or anything. They just refused to move. The only yaks that would move to earth keep were ones from north camp.

1. I, personally, love the addition of the tracks. Was a long overdue addition, and I’m glad it finally made it in.

2. I haven’t paid too much attention to the actual participation rates to comment on this. I usually just zone out and cap camps ahead of my commanders or focus on keeping yaks from getting to places they really shouldn’t be(enemy fire keep on home BL, I’m looking at you.)

3. At the moment I don’t mind the rate that we get the points. I wouldn’t say no to increasing the total points you can get per tick though

4. I enjoy that we can have access to all the dungeon and map tracks. It’ll help people gear up and/or get things like sand for that darn sandpaper toward guild hall upgrades without being forced into PvE maps to possibly do something we don’t enjoy.

5. I haven’t looked too much at the triumphant reward track so I don’t know specifically what it offers, but I would like to see a reward track that would offer siege, supply traps, siege disables, stealth traps, and MAYBE (if we wanna get crazy) communal trays of commonly used WvW raid food. Saffron bread and Seaweed salad are the first ones that come to mind.

Time to make Fort Pangloss now?

I’d look into adding in some revs running mallyx and boon duration (wanderer’s – ptv with boon duration added. Or you can look at anything that includes concentration) so they can use Pain Absorption to pull condi away from you and slap some resistance on you as well so you can ignore the condi they don’t pull off you.

Is there any reason why the offered stat combos for ascended trinkets hasn’t been updated for all of the new stats (and some of the old ones like Valkyrie)? Or has it just been an oversight that ascended versions of all the new stat combos haven’t been implemented?

I have all the skins except greatsword and sword. However, the Axe, Shortbow, Speargun, and Rifle are not unlocking in my collection achievement for Fractal Master. Even when holding said weapons in my characters hand.

Some mobs on the SW map have mechanics where they will block projectiles. The teragriffs, for example, leave behind a trail that not only hurts if you stand on it but it also blocks projectiles. So if you’re trying to shoot them from behind or an angle behind them, you’ll likely have your shots destroyed.

The beta is live right now. People that are playing their beta characters will not be able to save any progress they get while on a beta character, but they can play in the normal open world. This includes dungeons, fractals, wvw, and eotm.

I think it’d be a nice addition to the UI for commanders to be able to hide their tag from people that are not in their squad

Locked out of the fractal lfg section as well

PSA: if you get a new phone make sure you unlink your old phone and re-link to your new one….

Ultimaistanza.4793:

KAMIKAZE!!!!! – When a person (and maybe mobs) dies it leaves a Big Ol Bomb behind. The bomb doesn’t effect friendly units of whichever side dropped it.

Yes. This needs to be a thing for a weekend.

Is there a reason why there are no Valk Ascended trinkets? There’s exotic, but the only thing close to an ascended version is the valk/zerker mix

Since the 7/7/2015 patch I cannot switch my party UI back to simple mode without causing my entire game to crash.

lightson.2310:

This is a stupid idea…

It’s not like they could have just reduced the amount of points to spend in that line if they felt the first 230 points was a lot…

Yet Yakslapper is reasonable.

Confirmed. And making things very difficult lol

There goes my plan to make a montage of players dying by tripping over a pebble…

I’ve also noticed that guild upgrade ques are broken. If you have the workshop to allow 2 builds at once you’ll still only be building 1 thing at a time for the moment.

I enjoyed this fight. It didn’t take long to figure out the mechanics to the fight either. Didn’t need stability, and living without stun breakers wasn’t too difficult. If you’re having difficulty with the vines part, just don’t stand in the middle for that. Pick a vine on the outside that would be safe to let yourself be pulled to.
