Guild Wars 2

Fractals:
Nice UI again
I’d say the changes were unnecessary and the time spent doing those would have been better spent developing a truly new fractal, but haven’t played them enough to judge ultimately.

Infusions:
It’s nicer for new Players i see that, BUT:
It’s unfair for players like me, since with the old offensive/defensive infusions u only got 5 AR many went with the simple +7, which also was cheap, full +7 and some +11 and +10 in the rings and backpiece.
So with the change you either replace (removal tools) some of the +7 with higher normal ones to compensate the missing one from the amulet or upgrade the +10/+11 even further and we are forced to spent more money on our AR since we now have 143
The value of the offensive/defensive/ghostly/bauble infusions have been raised immensely, bad if u don’t have any...
So now it’s much more worth considering stat infusions.

Balance:
Since my main is a thief i was shocked to see a nerf since his only strong point was the damage, which is now noticably weaker

General:
Almost only positive
Health percentage
Recipes account wide (coud have refunded double like with colours)
Material search
Salvagekit options
Pings
facepalm

Story:
Nice details, kind of strange that when u start a conversation and after all that talking at Eir’s u have to read something(Pact camp new map)
Map is to small
And it’s really anoying that u get the feeling from not playing the raids, that u have missed a lot, the thin explanations from Canach and in the Pact camp are not really satisfying

Was there no addition to current events last tuesday, because we would only have 2 weeks to finish them?
Because I miss having something to finish on the weekend and it would have fuelled the hype for LW S3

Well “The poor blind Shatterer really wanted to encase you in that crystal, but you just wouldn’t let it!” sounds like an accusation to me, in fact that whole Passage states that the fight lost it’s epicness, ‘cause the playsers don’t fight like planned, but they gave us the opportunities to blind him permanently, which as i said wasn’t an issue in first year or 2.

Is there really no post about the shatterer or is the search just acting stupid?

Anyways i welcome the update, but think blaming the community for the necessity is wrong.
The safe areas were there since the beginning and still i remeber times, when we “fought” over who may use mortar/turret.
Also blinding it permanently wasn’t possible from the beginning, people always got stuck in crystals. You struggled to get the achivement because only a few could be “frozen”, and there were to many there. I guess the blinding came with the remake of how bosses react to cc? Don’t recall.

Sorry for my bad english, I’m half asleep at the moment.

that’s exactly my point, well i’ll just waste some more hours on gauntlet someday i will hopefully defeat him, even without immobilize and some other day i will get the achivement for him and so on…

so it seems most people don’t have a prob with him but somehow for me neither thief binding or immobilize nor warrior bolas worked on him and alsoi even die with soldiers instead of zerkers in about 10secs

any help?

confession: i didn’t read the hole thread, so if this has been said…

well firstly i don’t mind which fractal comes ‘cause in my opinion they could both have something to do with the dragons
now unlike with the reactor we know why abaddon fell, and that i wager is more important than where or who, so that’s why i think the story of the reactor might be more interessting
but concerning dragons i think it’s more likely abaddons story will tell as news, since he’s the god of water and well perhaps the deep sea dragon will be next because abaddon wants revenge…
while with the reactor i imagine something like inquest stealing snaff’s predecessor’s work, and fusing the reactor’s energy with dragon energy, about the same kudu does

I will still vote for kiel ‘cause of wp costs and ’cause giving an almost monopolist even more power, doesn’t seem like a good idea, and i don’t care that anet says he could buy him self in but he doesn’t, he DOES do we get bag with tickets and money from kiel, does she keep the aetherblades treasure, does she get any money from lowering wp costs, evon probably gains when he gives discount on keys, ‘cause he sells more??? so apart from him bribing and lobbying, i don’t wont anymore political power in his hands

WHY oh a-net do u want us to play this game for like ever, while all the others(arena, trial, sprint,…) we only have to do 20 times or so to get the achivements?
but no we have to have 2500 points, meaning someone as unlucky as me, who is always teamed up against or by chance attacked from two sides or doesn’t get the revenge moots, even though i run through them the same time as the other player, will equal probably less than 50points per game, resulting in 60 or more matches, which due to time consuming start will take hours additionally to the time we already need to complete dailys and other stuff.
It’s really biased to such a thing, just ‘cause the stupid little americans don’t know what to do with their time, now that they have 3months holiday.
Now i wouldn’t complain if this was just like the other event done with achivements in a few hours and the rest is just to enjoy. I have exams since the start of july still managed all achivements in the time running up to and during the exams, till now.
I’d really that next time u make achivements with a more reasonable time effort or make one big event with more content which lasts the whole summer, like it is in many other mmos.

For all those who will tell me “stop whinning”, well stop hating, and anyway most off the stuff is really cool, just the time consumption of this one is kitten ing me off.

And for those saying i don’t need to do it, i want to get those achivements only available for a short time, i didn’t miss a single one till now, and yeah i have been on vacation and still managed to get them once i returned, but now we have 2 that aren’t that easy, the points and for all those beeing away in the moment the dailys, so this is quite unfair.

is there a video with all the story parts of the dungeons? cause my groups often wanted to skip these and i don’t want to watch the complet run and still want to know the details

can some one give me the link for the promises? just found the general data mined for the cutthroat event, but nothing specific about the promises.

also if this really comes to past, i’d ask all those who want to vote for evon:
1. do u really think he would need a seat in the council to cause some mayham? the most successfull tradingcompany without enough influence to creat chaos, also through lobbying and bribing he certainly can get from the council what he wants, tradesman usually don’t have any conscience, espcially one that was a pirate will always find a way.
2. i doubt that the rewards for mf or ar will stay or is there another reason u want mf back?
3. and yeah maybe kiel will only lower tp costs by 5% and yeah that will mean a lot of tps before getting the same amount discount as with keys, but unlike with keys, u wont use tp that much more cause of costs, so evon will hardly lose anything, especially as not everyone uses keys, kiel on the other hand doesn’t have mounts of gold do finance her campain, the development in the mists and pay for EVERYONE’s tp.

that’s just aside the fact that kiel’s character is much better than evon who never even helped rebuilding la and robbed use with boxes and gem prices, since the gem price does not sink when we spent gems, but increases when we buy them

also i think kiel is the one with whom we might fight the next dragon sooner, though ofcourse perhaps evon is secretly in league with the dragons

Just managed to bring him to 0 hp, instead of dieing, he spammed his move, blocked my water, there by removing 500hp, so i didn’t survive for my next drink, when he drank water

Paul Belz.7351:

The bug fix that was implemented this morning prevents Adnul from using Critique on the same turn it ends, granting a minimum of one turn before he can use it again. The reason he belches so often is because he never fakes (or extremely infrequently) so his belch comes off cooldown often.

so because he drinks a lot, he can use belch and water 2times in a row and always knows when i drink water or fake? is that about right? so u secretly gave him the ability of the grandmaster, also he can turn on his ability for single rounds without the symbol showing?
And to that guy telling me he was at 100% when hewas at 50 and then won using chemistry, show me how i also was at 100 when he was at 50 but funnily i never let me win i had him 1drink away from dead at least 10times but he alway manages to belch my heals and force me to drink from then on

one fact i tried 2hours yesterday and one today….

when almost about to defeat him he starts to block every move u can take not to drink, also sometimes the message enemy watching u comes and u get damage without his signiture move beeing up
