Siegemaster Golem Escort

in Tower of Nightmares

Posted by: Blueroseknight.7954

Blueroseknight.7954

So I missed the boat when this content was first released and am trying to catch up. Every achievement is fairly easy to do except for one. The AI on the golem for the event where you have to escort the sigemaster to the flower is really really bad. I can generally protect most players / npcs but this golem just pulls more and more mobs until it dies.

I have tried clearing the mobs ahead of the golem but it causes more to spawn automatically. We couldn’t even clear this event with 3 people. Has anyone else had problems with this? What did you do (besides zerging the event).

Hopefully in the future escort events will feature some competent AI…

Human racial skills - Does anybody use them?

Anyone use any of the human racial skills? I use the hounds elite skill but it doesn’t seem to be all that strong. Are there others that you all have found useful?

Thank you very much for your replies. Mainly my frustration is fueled by the most recent living world events and how I cannot complete most of it on my own. I’m trying to make a build that is reliable for solo play. That Mantra build looks like fun!

Hey all; I could use some help creating a good build. I played at release and took a break from Nov 2012 to Nov 2013 and am feeling kind of overwhelmed. Long story short; I am dying all the time. I feel like I’m a moderately good player and remain aware of my surroundings but would like some help with a build that maximizes survival.

Would you suggest using illusions or shattering them? Currently I rely mostly on staff and greatsword and rarely shatter at all. Any suggestions on skills, weapons, abilities and traits would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

SAO still better than that new MMORPG anime(Log Horizon). Lol. But still a lot worse than all the other good stuff out there.

Log Horizon is significantly better than SAO in every way. Each episode talks about different game mechanics. I really get a feeling that the show is made for gamers. The characters use strategies like exploiting cool downs and press ganging new players into selling their XP potions; it really is more innovative than 95% of the shows being released nowadays.

What does SAO have? Every fight is solved by an invincible protag hitting something with a sword.

Trahearne as a boss.

Thanks! I was messing around on my lvl 80 last night in low level zones and I think I’m up to speed as far as my play style. I am pretty curious about the fractals; I’ll be sure to check that out

Gone for a year; what did I miss?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Blueroseknight.7954

Blueroseknight.7954

Hello all,

I stopped playing shortly after the Halloween event last year and have decided to give GW2 another shot. It seems like much has changed and I am somewhat overwhelmed. I would really appreciate it if someone could please give me a quick rundown on what I should be doing / what I can do now that I couldn’t do a year ago.

I think I understand the basic idea behind the living world. Is there any way to access past living world events? I know that might defeat the purpose of the “living” aspect but I’d hate to miss the content / rewards.

Have there been any significant changes to gear? My character is level 80 but I have no idea what I can do or what I should be doing anymore.

Feel free to chime in with any and all advice that you think might be helpful to a player who is both new and old. Thanks very much!

Death to Trahearne. Worst fictional character I have ever encountered.

What was the point of the 2 PvP events?

in Halloween Event

Posted by: Blueroseknight.7954

Blueroseknight.7954

I only did Lunatics Inquisition and played alot. If your team lost you got nothing. If your team won you got 3 PTOT bags. If you were a villager at the end, your team won and you were a villager the whole time then you got 5 PTOT bags.

Rewards or no, it was some of the most fun pvp I have ever done and I couldn’t get enough of it!

“Let me tell you the tale of the brave warrior who threw a bunch of things into a magic portal in hope of getting other magical things to be one step closer to creating the legendary sword of old…”

Not a very interesting legend imo. These weapons should be called “of the Gambler”.

How much money did you spend on BL keys...

in Halloween Event

Posted by: Blueroseknight.7954

Blueroseknight.7954

Spent 30 dollars. I enjoy gambling in moderation and the fix I got was worth it :-P

Also I got a skin that was worth about 20g and mats that I was able to sell for another 5-6 so I’m happy :-D

Took practically the entire event but...

I’m hoping to pull it to be able to afford a legendary precursor. I already pulled the Scythe skin which netted me 20g so I’m almost there!

I know that account sharing is probably against the rules however I have a friend who wants to buy the game but does not know if his computer will support it. He wants to download the game and use my login info in order to test it on his machine. Is this allowed or will this get me banned?

I hope they implement a permanent version of Lunatic Inquisition. Also hardmode options, different legendary weapons and playable Quaggans.

My thoughts on Anets halloween events. What's yours?

Posted by: Blueroseknight.7954

Blueroseknight.7954

Absolutely everything was awesome. No complaints; something for everyone during this event!

Please find a way to keep Lunatic Inquisition in the game.

in Halloween Event

Posted by: Blueroseknight.7954

Blueroseknight.7954

Didn’t really care for Reaper’s Brawl however Lunatic Inquisition was some of the most fun I have had in awhile. I’d love for this to be a regular mode of play. Maybe reward with karma and a chance of a uniquely skinned piece of Lunatic gear.

Even without rewards I could play all day!

Please, extend Halloween Event for two days more.

in Halloween Event

Posted by: Blueroseknight.7954

Blueroseknight.7954

Yes, an extension of the event would certainly be awesome. Just think of it as an encore performance.

What would YOU like to see for Wintersday?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Blueroseknight.7954

Blueroseknight.7954

Hopefully an Xmas version of the Lunatic Inquisition. More unique skins that are super rare would be nice; gives people something to shoot for. Hopefully one that looks cool that is not a greatsword.

Hopefully we get some kind of Santa Claus themed dungeon where we get to take down the big man and steal his sack full of loot.

Why the Norn and Charr hate on the Clock Tower?

in Halloween Event

Posted by: Blueroseknight.7954

Blueroseknight.7954

I see what you are saying and probably the best thing to do is turn off chat when you are in the Clocktower. Guild Wars may be a fantasy environment, one which you seem to enjoy the immersion of, however it is still the internet. People on the internet will find any excuse available to spread hate.

Sorry to be a downer; thats just how things are.

Inquisition PvP mode - please make this a permanent feature

in Halloween Event

Posted by: Blueroseknight.7954

Blueroseknight.7954

This is hands down the most fun part of the Halloween event for me. I can’t get enough of it. Please make this a permanent feature of the game! Maybe award karma for winning after Halloween and tweak the environment to be more season neutral.

My other request is to allow for players to enter as a group. Fantastic execution od this and all other Halloween events though

Halloween Events and Quests Ridiculous!!!!!

Generally if you join a guild you can find someone to help you out with either the MK dungeon or the ghost quest. The ghost quest isn’t that entertaining honestly. The MK is fun though. Hope you get to play them

I am seeing a ton of contradicting info regarding which mats are required for which things. I know that you can make weapons and runes however various sources, particularly when they speak about runes, seem to disagree on mats.

Can someone please link an accurate, verified list on all of the potential options for spending candy corn and other Halloween crafting mats? Thanks.

The main problem here is that people went into this thinking it was a FUN event, not a GAMBLING event.

FUN event – people saying “Look at all the neat stuff I got, I can’t wait until the next big event!”

GAMBLING event disguised as FUN event – people saying “I got ripped off, I’m not spending another penny on this game.”

Which approach benefits ANet in the long term, eh? It doesn’t seem to me that they were taking a long term view here.

I certainly didn’t get the impression that Halloween items were supposed to be ‘rare’ and by setting the drop rates so low, they’ve certainly alienated a number of people, particularly those willing to buy gems. Seeing as this game depends on people buying gems, this can’t be a good thing.

Many people go to Las Vegas with their families and friends to gamble; it is fun. Other people can’t control themselves and blame the casinos when they lose their shirt gambling. Play the tables for awhile, enjoy the buffet and take in the experience. Stop being so alarmist.

I take it back...

Blueroseknight.7954

I respect your arguments but disagree that the BLCs were handled poorly. I think that ANet took advantage of a basic psychological principle and used it to make money. I play alot of CCGs and have opened many packs of cards for many different games. You don’t always pull the rare cards that you are looking for.

I have enjoyed using basically everything I have gotten from the BLCs, even the killstreak XP booster. Each item has improved my gameplay experience in some way.

ANet has thus far been kind enough to add a second chance at their Halloween gambling event for no charge. That obviously did not work; their efforts were basically wasted. It is sad that people accuse them of so many hateful things when they are making so many wonderful things.

This whole thing kind of reminds me of the Mass Effect players demanding a different ending to the game. Fans demanding changes in the way products are presented is a bizarre concept. If you don’t like the product then don’t engage the product.

Unfair advantage to artificers?

Blueroseknight.7954

They still need boosts which they can only get from BLCs or a few story mode quests. Ever heard of the phrase “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth?” No matter what ANet does people will keep whining. The whiners are the only bad part of this event.

So you have to chose wether you are going to use the normal chests or upgrade them? That is an interesting mechanic. I also wonder what the drop rates will be.

Use your scanner right next to the npc who gives the item. A ghost will appear. If you dont see the ghost then just spam the F button after scanning.

This is way better than any Halloween event I have seen in any other game. Good job ANet. The Costume Brawls are very cool and I am very happy with my witch costume. Gathering candy corn on my broom and melting in the middle of Lion’s Arch kept me entertained after a long day of work.

Don’t let the whiners get you down; you guys did a great job and should be proud of your efforts. Looking forward to the future content. Happy Halloween :-D

I’m going to love seeing every and single one of these self proclaimed whitknights and defenders of Arenanet break into tears, because Anet wont afford making any new meaningful content in the future. Due to noone is buying anything from the store.

Well played Anet you convinced your biggest spenders that they had a chance to get something meaningful from the BLC. I bet you got alot of money out of this. Very shot sighted, but well played.

You think its funny seeing how your biggest spenders are suffering the consequences for gambling against unknown low odds? Well you gambled too with the shenanigans you just pulled. I for one am gonna enjoy seeing the massive layoffs at Anet ala Swtor style. See how your whitknights will save your jobs then.

P.S Your whiteknights that keeps telling people that the ones who spent alot of money buying keys have noone but themselves to blame, probably hasnt spent any meaningful amount on your precious game and that revenue wont save you. D.S

I am confident that they will continue to release quality content and that over half of the people who say that they will no longer be buying gems will continue to do so. Guild Wars has alot of good things going for it; it is a shame that the first thing people did when they released this new content was complain. Learn to enjoy the game.

This thread is giving me ridiculous amounts of lolz. It’s a good thing I would never spend money on virtual gambling for a weapon skin. To the people complaining they got ripped off…..thanks for the laugh.

Completely agree. As for how they should conduct their business in the future I think they should just mirror Riot and League of Legends. Make skins cost 5-20 dollars and release them every few weeks. Keep the random thing though, I love to laugh :-D

@Blueroseknight

So if I buy a lottery ticket and get nothing then tell the lottery officials that I should get my money back that is not entitlement? These people believe that through spending their money on a random thing, without knowing the odds, that they are “entitled” to a prize". Sounds like the definition of entitlement to me. They got what they paid for, the chance to get something.
See you at Xmas, maybe you’ll have better odds then. The chests are calling after all

You sir are a troll or a need to learn how the real world works. Go buy a lottery ticket, guess what they do… they give percentages on chances to win. Why? So people can be informed and not assume on their chance to get what they hope to have.

What did arenanet do? Simply put the word down chance. They didn’t state a rare chance. They didn’t state a small chance. They simply didn’t let customers have an informed decision on the rate. When you see people in map chat ringing off I got X skin or Y skin you think ok they are dropping at a good rate. It was a great way to fool the customer base into buying keys.

I have only stated in these posts an intelligent response of, “Arenanet if you are going to do this system of Gambling with peoples real money than you need to give people knowledge of the odds.”

How is that a ridiculous request?

words like “need” and phrases like “have to” (from the next post) are demanding. They don’t need to do anything. It is a good suggestion however it is hardly necessary. Buy the skins in the AH if you don’t want to gamble. Or move on and enjoy your free holiday event.

The first thing that people did when this event came out was whine about how the drop rate was unfair in the chests. Some theories and discussion was born out of people feeling slighted but it still all boils down to people being upset. Run a jumping puzzle. Do an event. Farm Karma.

The only part of my posts that has been trolling is bringing up Occupy. I just wanted to get your blood boiling there :-P

@Blueroseknight – I’m not sure where imbeciles like yourself learned the word “entitlement”, but you obviously never learned what it actually means. People spent real money for nothing…and are upset about it. That’s not what entitlement means.

But for the high and mighty among you that like to belittle the criticisms of others, this will hurt you in the end, because people will be less likely to spend money at the cash shop, which means less development money. Because of this thread, I will not be spending any of the money I had planned to spend tonight on gems.
