No Mask Left Behind : Morwood Wilds vines

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

I have spent several hours with a toon parked at the spot of the last vines. I have helped in each event that is supposed to turn on the pylon(s) yet the vines never clear. I believe that the meta never activates these pylons anymore as they are not needed.

How do I get this last mask now?

Conquest and WvW pvp builds, difference?

I don’t often pvp, usually only when I have to. In game you have Mist War, Edge of the Mists and 5 man pvp. The builds found on Metabattle are called Conquest and WvW. How do you know what one to use and when? I have to ask this in guild every single time I try WvW as it simply makes no sense at all so I have no way to know.

When will Lich be deadly again? I just ran around the Lab for 30 minutes about an hour ago and Lich was a simple zerg. Last year it was very very deadly, Right now all you need to do is hit the 1 key often, don’t even have to move.

I have done 5 lvl2 swamp lands so far and no drop. It is the last item I need to make the Sun God’s Breath Flask. Wiki says it has to be a 2, 32 or 56.

Drone Race issues

So apparently the Drone Race mini adventure cannot be done unless the entire area is cleared. With respawn rates, this cannot be done by a solo player, so is this one just a useless item that anet tossed in to tease people? Just standing next to the flag I died enough times to waste all my revive orbs. A group of 30 people ran past and even revived me but since they didn’t kill anything, i was dead a moment later.

These mini adventures should be immune to mobs near the flag. The mastery points are required to do anything in HoT, legendary crafting etc. Yet when things like this are created to require a group of 30+ people just to allow one person to do something simply makes me want to play other games.

I love the game and am happy to support anet with market purchases but when they in turn simply kill me and not let me progress, I just don’t know what they want from me.

Elite Specialization cost too high

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Atenhara.2947

I’d just like to say that HoT was a £30 expansion for the game, most DLC of this price point would add the following:
- more than 5 hours of content
- added features that aren’t walled behind 20+ hours of grind

HoT added neither. The story is a lost cause, and would take far too much work and money for ANet to fix, but the hero points would be one tweak of one number to fix the problem and stop gating the content behind unreasonably hard to solo content, which no-one who has done it before will join a group to complete, because there’s no incentive to. This would be solved if one of the following were true:
- there would be enough hero points in central Tyria to complete the elite specialization for a character
or
-the hero challenges in Heart of Thorns areas would be possible for most players to do without a group

EDIT: Grammar

There is nothing wrong with the amount of HP needed to fully unlock an elite spec. If you do all of the HP in central Tyria then you only need a handful of HoT hero points to finish the spec anyway, less than 5 iirc. And most of them are easy to solo, especially after the difficulty was nerfed.

This is true, the soloable ones are easy to solo. Getting to them though, that’s not so easy and has caused me to simply quit in frustration for a few days just so that I don’t start hating the game.

How does one solo HoT?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Don’t solo,. Seriously. There are generally enough people in the zones where you can make a bit of progress at a time, just by calling out in map chat that you need help with something and being a bit patient.

Yesterday I came across a guy at a hero point. He was frustrated because he couldn’t solo the champion.

This truly. I have said it before and you get the people who are simply so good that they can molo most of the hp’s themselves. They laugh and just tell you to get better. The truth is, HoT was never meant to solo through. There is a strong emphasis on group oriented goals. After getting 3 toons through Hearts and Minds I really just stopped going there unless I have to. If you don’t find a few folks doing what you want also, the frustration builds like a rocket and then you simply stop playing.

This is actually great news for me. I have spent the last 2 months trying to get enough Tyria mastery points to even start crafting them. I think I am down to my last one to go.

not so secret jumping puzzle

After several hours of trying I got close to the goggles only to fall. I managed to finish the jp but the diving achieve I need. There are very few Tyria mastery point achieves available and this one is required. Is there anyway to get this done truly? I feel like only the 1% have ever been able to actually complete it without a mesmer. This jp is easily harder then soloing the raid encounter.

I rather liked the choices in this one, but I was unable to find the path. So I simply killed all the mobs and ran through and it updated anyways.

I would like to know how you pulled him to different platforms. I tried running away and he stayed there. I was able to do it by reviving a dozen times. He didn’t recover hp this time for some reason.

Personal Story Audio Problem

I installed win 10 a couple weeks ago. Since then I have noticed that the story voices sometimes fade out or are gone. Sometimes just one line or until it changes to the next person to speak in a story conversation.

Side note: ACT gets stalled out after parsing log data for 20-30 minutes and I have to reset the app (used in eq2). Is there any type of connection that the two games have in accessing disk files maybe?

For me, the end game is where it’s at no matter what game I am playing. I missed the initial rush of people who made 80 in a couple days so I am left to solo the majority of the content in areas. This is where anet made a mistake I think. The heart events, some skill events and some general content require several characters to be in the spot at the same time to beat whatever it is. I have a 30 engineer with 48 hours played. I go to the auction and upgrade all the gear every 5 levels. But still sometimes in the above mentioned events, I get hammered. Level 30, level 30 gear, mentored down to 12 and 3 level 10’s waste me so fast I cannot even see what happened. Makes it very disheartening at times and feels like I am slogging through slow drying cement.
