99% sure it was glint saying that. after all ,the zepherites almost worship glint, and it was heavily speculated that glint gave them one of her eggs since they first appeared.

The Champ bags also give raw coin. THAT’S the main problem with them. Each bag on average gives about, say, 5 silver, right? Well, multiply that 50 bags for 1 hour of farming. Now multiply THAT by 100+ players. And multiply that again by however many map overflows are farming Blix. That is an extraordinary amount of gold being pumped into the economy, far more than would outweigh the extra T6 mats and Cores/Lodestones being generated.

5 silver per champion bag. please. i opened up 250 champion bags, and got only a few raw gold from it. champ bags average 2-2.5 silver per at best. i however did get a ton of tier 5 and 6 mats, 2 charged lodestones, and 2 charged cores. i earned in raw gold about a charged lodestone from 8 or so hours of farming. almost 95% of the gold i earned from champ bags was the items inside on the trading post.

and indeed, if everyone cooperated, the blix farm would be a paradise. everyone was happy. in fact, i once ran for 2 hours on a blix farm, and the worst messages yelled were, and i quote “BACK”. then we had 2 guys who had already ruined 4 other instances of the blix farm ruin this one as well by holding off the mobs causing a 80% cap on the first wave, then again to 100% on the third wave, specifically holding back 2 champions and a dozen other mobs single-handedly for 10-15 seconds with ease. these guys are built to hold out against champions, and play specifically to force event completion. then everyone gets mad at them, which is what the trolls want, and then spends forever trying to find a new instance (aka 6 lfgs asking for a blix taxi that sit in the lfg for 5-10 minutes in that case). we had this awesome run where the teamwork was better than tequatl, and the only things shouted were requests to do what 70 other players wanted a small group to do. blix is a nontoxic environment now. 100% of the toxicity comes from trolls, even the one time we got to 98% before the event failed, there was no anger towards the guy who were purposefully doing it(they got it to succeed the next time though)

arena net is nerfing the event more so because of just how good of a farm it is than how toxic it is. in frostgorge, you earn a champ bag every two or so minutes, here at blix you could get more than 1 per minute on average, and tons of add mob loot as well. its just too good so arena net wants it gone. iv seen the toxicity for tequatl much worse than most of my blix farms, with the exception of the first two which had to many brand new people and were cut very short.

now there are only 2 main kinds of players at the blix farm, serious ones, and a group full of these mean a endless happy farm with shouting being more commander like than yelling, and the troll who tries to force the event to complete, by specifically dedicating themselves to holding off a dozen foes including 1-2 champs and numerous elites as long as possible. this is not the case of the .01% of the population ruining a good farm, but rather arena net stopping a farm as usual.

I have no issue with them adding content that requires agony resistance… on 2 conditions.

1) They make infusions less kitten expensive. Considering masterwork+ tier infusions are coming, I think 100 to 250 t6 (depending on what you’re going for) is a bit much for a BLUE infusion. I can only imagine what a rare infusion would freaking cost to make…

2) They fix cloths drops and damask requirements

i see it now.
legendary infusion: 30 agony resist and 50 of any stat.
cost: eternity, incinerator, bifrost, and bolt put into the mystic forge.

all special dyes also have very special icons that point them out from the others, but i still totally agree on exotic rarity for them.
celestial and abyss dyes are the two of the most expensive regular dyes, but they are usually on the 2nd or 3rd page of most expensive dyes,

did you first 3 copy and paste your comments from the actual game, because i was in a Lions arch instance where your 3 comments in that very same order happened.

im near positive build templates are in the works now

i found stealth theif to be the easiest to beat liadri on (got 7 orb liadri with mine, but could barely get 5 orbs on rare occasion with anyone else) i originally beat liadri with my warrior though, using rifle. she is fairly easy once you get the groove down. i can do part 1 as anyone and only take a small handful of her projectiles nearly 100% of the time. part 2 is all about being in the right distance from the center to easily keep your distance from liadri, while still begin close to the center so you can outrun the shadowfall drops. doing those 2 things, you can work the rest of the strategy for any class.
i totally agree on the arenas issue. certain arenas give unfair advantages to either side. its as if they centered the arenas in the code off center from the actual arena. there is infact a strategy to easily farm a boss with 4 gambits because in a specific arena, you start off directly against the wall and out of aggro range giving you time and positioning to blow them up.

actually, taimi was not allowed onto the airship because of scruffy. the crates were on the airship hence the confusion. kasmeer (i think) then tries to cheer taimi up and i think even offers to carry taimi onto the ship instead of scruffy.

let me put this simply.
anyone in the guild can see anything and everything in ALL of the guild banks.
anyone with permission can withdraw items from guild storage ( the 50 slot)
anyone with permission can withdraw from guild bank and deep cave (i don’t remember both the names, but they are the 2 100 slot addons.
the 2 sets(50 slot set and the 2 100 slots set) have separate permissions for withdrawing and depositing each, thats 4 options.
anyone with permissions to add guild ranks can do so at any time.
players of different ranks can have different permissions, and with the ability to add at least 10 ranks you can have a variety of combinations.
its common sense you should not have anyone you don’t truly trust with access to any of your guild banks at all unless all stored there is crap items anyway. if you give them access to either of your sets of guild banks, you have given them permission to take and give whatever they want from it. hacked, leavers, ect, you allowed that account access so you take the blame for what they do. whatever is there you are giving to them and trusting they don’t bail on you. you should never put things you are not willing to loose in the hands of someone else unless you do not have a choice. you certainly can, and if you truly trust them you can believe they wont, but there is still the chance they might. me personally, my personal guild is 100% locked off from everyone else, and if i do ever bring anyone in for any reason, they have 0 permissions to my stuff. if they want to store stuff, it will be in the other half of the bank. where they don’t get permissions to my stuff or to change permissions and get my stuff.

Bottomline is, never get too comfortable with a meta, you never know when they’ll shift.

Except if you’re a guardian. Since they are the most “balanced” class, they are never really nerfed or buffed.

you dont need to have your damage/range increased to get buffed, the patch does not even have to touch a guard to have it be buffed or nerfed. its called stealth buffs and stealth nerfs. that is nerfs and buffs that affect others. for example. eles getting Fire dagger 3 skill, the flame charge evade, means that not only did ele get a buff, but all other classes just got a nerf towards eles at varying degrees. certain builds are now much much more powerful, while others are now much weaker. guardians have had power shifted in this manner numerous times in both pve and pvp. adding blast finishers to a move on one class increases the viability of almost all field moves on all classes who are on their side and vice versa. increasing damage/range on an ability one one class is a nerf to all other classes at the same time.

if you dont think this way, think of it like this. a turn based game, 1v1, 100 hp and 100hp, 10 damage and 12 damage. player b with 12 damage will win automatically, but will take either 80 or 90 damage depending on who hits first assuming no misses/blocks, ect.
now, change 12 to 14.
player b will now take either 70 or 80 damage, a full hit less from only 2 additional damage saving them 10 more hp. whatever player a is playing is now weaker against whatever player b is naturally because if player c comes along with the same thing, he will loose just as badly as player a. player b leaves with 20 or 30 hp instead of 10 or 20, which allows him more damage in a continuing fight, or less time to heal up and get back in the fight. even applying dodging, movement, skill rotations, and everything else guild wars 2 has, it still means that it will take less hits for player b to kill player a, giving them many different advantages compared to before. everything affects everything. give one class a super weapon which doubles all damage, stacking intensively with everything else, and you don’t view other classes as full powered anymore, even though they were never touched, just because that one class can now destroy you in battle effortlessly.

the problem, the people who do not subscribe will find the price of everything in the economy rising. reduction of diminishing returns increases total gold in the economy. the price of EVERYTHING goes up after a few months at an accelerated rate compared to today where its fairly steady. those casuals who don’t play excessively will find it harder and harder to buy things. the more gold there is, the greater the demand of items is overall, and low supply items will be bought up faster.
counter argument: with diminishing returns removed for some players, the low supply items will drop more often and reduce prices.
counter: while this is true, more often than not people buy many of these items. think how many people want chaos of lyssa now. with the cost being only 100-150 gold but opening 1000s of bags which take days to farm may not give you one, people buy it instead of farm for it. a limited number of people farm them. i will never buy chaos of lyssa because its so expensive, but i’m never going to get one in a drop. if i earned tons more gold i would buy one up happily, but still have never farmed one. the supply has gone down because of this, so the price will go up. this will apply to almost everything, and the additional gold i and the many others spend on the TP means more gold in everyones pockets to spend, decreasing supply everywhere increasing prices.

one of my guilds runs gold runs on boss blitz almost daily.
boom boom blains is most optimally run with 5-7 zerker players.
i ran a imcomplete phalnax strength build (no runes and some Azurite jewelry) and my group of 5 others with me would destroy the adds until most other groups were down to 80-90% before we burst her down, being at 5-10% first or second of the 6. you just focus the turret as it spawns and since you slaughtered the initial adds, you only have to worry about the occasional ones you pull from the sides. makes her easy. we get her 100% of the time, even when a few of us die well before gold time is up.

Thanks to matt visual and wooden potatoes for creating the contest that found this boy.
hes in the top window, though you cant really see him in the screenshot, in game he is a lot easier to see.

boy 1: in the vigil keep above the bank and a little to the west.
boy 2: in a hidden room in wvw borderlands jumping puzzle
boy 3: battle of kyhlo south of blues spawn (see attachment)

i had that happen on ascalon catacombs p2. i disconnected about 2 seconds before the final boss died, got nothing from the run.

tl:dr
Post i made was displaying fake message which would cause people with no understanding of logic to report me.
the message did not show up on the edit option
the message was 100% gone after the edit option was saved and closed.
could be a hacking tool or exploit on the forums

I was looking at a post i made on a topic i made a week ago asking a question. people were responding and i was responding to their responses as normal. the topic itself is unimportant, and the topic was over and buried later that day. i went back to check incase someone else posted, only to find that one of the posts i made had a message i did not place
this message was, and i Emphasize i did not say this.

“I AM A GOLD SPAMMER. PLEASE REPORT ME WITH THE FLAG IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER”

no spammer would put such a message up, but my post said it, which could cause idiots to report me or anyone who has this message forced onto their posts.

the message was capitalized like that and overwrote a portion of my post. i went in to edit my post only to find this message was not there. after ending the edit, the message was gone completely.

i dont know what happened or why, but clear as day. a portion of my post was overwritten with the above message without my permission, approval, or even input. the forums did not register it was there at all when i edited the comment, and finishing the edit removed it.

unconfirmed: i do not know if others can see this false edit or not. the forum post was buried after all.

First off, why would you assume mechanized creatures are immune to dragon corruption?

Because all the other dragons’ powers indicate they corupt either living or dead organic matter. If they can corrupt inorganic matter, then Primordius could just corrupt the earth and stone and crush the dwarves. Jormag would have corrupted the mountains and sent them toppling on the Norns, etc.

Just to be clear the Dragons CAN corrupt anything. Primordius doesn’t corrupt harpies and trolls and crabs and turn them into lava monsters, he corrupts the earth and turns it into creatures. Most of the Dragons simply don’t because they do things their own way. Zaitan likes to raise the dead. Jormag likes to screw with people, offering them power and when they accept taking them, like the Devil. Kralkatorik just turns whatever and whoever into inorganic crystal, which he controls. As such there is no reason to assume that Mordremoth couldn’t, if he so chose, turn clockwork robots into his own minions, with plants on them or something. That could actually be really cool.

it was proven in the story line and anywhere in orr that sylvari can not be corrupted by zhaitan. other dragons don’t have corrupted minions of some races because there is so few of that race in the area if any at all.
another note is that no dragon can corrupt and take over another dragons minions. the last thing is that the nightmare court are an awful lot like a dragons minion, but with only slightly more intelligence than zhaitan’s minions and some freedom, probably due to not having a dragon to command them. faolen is much like an eye of zhaitan.

Nay, I think they learned from that. Upon entering LA, you will probably be moved to a story instance automatically just like in Kessex hills

I hope you’re right, but I’m not holding my breath here. Even if you’re right, we’re still probably facing 2 to 4 weeks of fighting in overflows of LA after the story instance.

Kessex tower climbs regularly ended in wipe outs, Minion invasions regularly failed, Marionette events fail regularly and the Wurm can only be done by a select few. Even the EoTM roll out failed immediately while the overflow server instances tried to form.

Overflow is not the way to handle this sort of mega event. It’s not working.

overflows failed in EOTM because none were created. there literally was thousands of players on one server. you could do nothing. they had to close it down while they found out why it was not creating overflows.

Death Prosecutor.8713:

Anet’s Pre release hype was “no more grind”, basically realizing the “grind” issues and how disenchanted players of GW were with it. Now we have the Ascended Armor / FOTM “Grind”. What the heck Anet? Was pre release hype re: No grind just a con job? Would seem a bit hypocritical to me. This games direction is going to vertical in my opinion. I think Anet is shooting itself in the foot!

as i recall, they promised no grind for the best gear. it only costs 5-15 gold for a 6 piece set of full exotic armor. that is no grind at all. they delivered on that promise. the ascended armor and weapons, and other weapon skins, including legendaries, are all only a few points better than the exotics.
in a fight, a 1 gold exotic staff vs the bifrost(set to same stats), there is virtually no difference.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

As stated previously, the Devs expressly said to USE UP YOUR GLORY BOOSTERS AS THEY WILL HAVE NO FURTHER USE after the changes to PvP rewards are finalized.

Now, you can keep them and hope something different happens, but right now they are scheduled to become useless. Good luck.

Thank you, i personally had not heard this and the announcement of the removal of glory did not include this either.

~~~snip~~~

The value of the free items you got is 0. They cost you nothing to get. They drop from Achievement points, Daily/Monthly chests, etc.

Just to put this in perspective, Anet is under no obligation to exchange anything you got for free. How do I know this? Here’s the rules regarding money bought items:

“YOU ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NCSOFT HAS NO OBLIGATION TO REFUND ANY PAYMENTS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, RELATED TO AN ACCOUNT WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PAYMENTS WERE MADE OR AUTHORIZED BY YOU, FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INTERRUPTION OR UNAVAILABILITY OF SERVICE (SEE ALSO SECTION 10).”

Having said that, if Anet does do something for the Glory Boosters, that’s great. But I can’t stress this enough – you have no rights to any type of exchanges because you don’t like the item. If they allowed all players to exchange free Gem Store items for something else they actually want, the Support Staff would never sleep, and NCSoft losses money. There are hundreds of thousands of players in this game who get the same items as you did. Some players loved it, and some players don’t use it. We are all on the same page here. If you feel more entitled to different treatment than all of us, that’s your opinion.

you’re just as bad as the other guy. you’re not reading my responses, the situation is vastly different than the one you are depicting. i only ever asked if something is going to be done with them. why, because i worked hard for my achievement rewards, as did 1000s of other players. to get an item they can’t use. ArenaNet gave us an item we can’t use which has high purchase value, and now is removing it from the game. as i stated in my example before, the boss is firing me before my payday, and is refusing to pay me for my hours. that is my opinion on this topic. i think that if anyone in the world works to achieve a reward, that the reward be of fair value. so long as glory exists, glory boosters are an acceptable value. the opportunity exists to attempt to cash in on it. now that they are removing that, i will no longer be able to cash in. if thats what they do, thats what they do. its a game, i can’t change their minds. what i can do however is ask what they plan on doing with it because its not widely known what they are doing with them. I think that glory boosters should have value after glory is removed, that is my opinion, because there are loads of them out there due to the fact that the players earned them. players like me, now im sorry if your not like me, but that gives you no excuse bash me for my opinion, especially when you claim that what i am saying is something that i did not say. i think they should have value, i am not ordering such a thing. but the fact remains its my opinion, i can think what i want to think, and its unrelated to this whole reason this thread was post. Please refrain from commenting further about such nonsense.

Mazreal Blackknight.1564:

Oh no I completely understand, you earned everything else in that chest. Just cause YOU opted to not use a piece given to you.

You now want to know what they are going to replace it with. They are replacing it with nothing. As if you never got it. There is enough stuff that is not sellable like all the PVp skins we got also. Just cause we opted to not use them why should we benifit from then. We had the option to use them. To earn stuff from them but as non PVp players we decided to not use them. Why should we be reward for something we opted to never use?

The point is you were happy with them just sitting in your PVp locker until now. And now that they are removing the option you already opted to not use, you want a replacement option selling or having them traded for a booster you want. When you “could” have used them from the moment you earned them. Just cause you opted to not it’s not their issue to remake you happy.

I don’t use armor boosters or kill boosters, I have a ton also, they sit there in my bank. Just like the PVp glory boosters sit in my locker. All 100 of them.

this is the third time you have not read my comments
1: i want to know IF, there is a key word there, and its spelt with an I and an F, IF they will be given some other use outside of pvp. ill say it a second time, IF they will be given some other use outside of pvp

2: I wasn’t happy with them sitting in my locker, i was hoping one day to get into pvp and actually be able to use them. when i first heard of it, i was glum and raised my pvp level by playing and loosing tons of matches. glory has loads of cool benefits and i wanted to tap into them. i am level 11 in PVP, how do you think i got those statistics. i used several glory boosters from the pvp dailies. i currently have about 35

2.5 WTH, someone hacking this or something to say i’m a gold spammer. there is no message here to remove. if any gold spammer messages are here, they were hacked here.

3: I have heard PVP skins will be given use to us outside of PVP. i also used them and know their value, i can salvage them to make dyes if i wanted for at least some return.

Just dont even comment again until you comprehend my statements. you keep saying stuff that is just not true. you’re trying to make valid points, but your still missing some important parts and ignoring others. you have become that person who has lost the fight, and therefore is lying to make themselves seem like they are right. you have lost, man up and admit it.

remember, the only thing that can not be used outside of pvp in some way is a glory booster.

let me summarize this whole thing so that you guys who read this can understand what this thread is about, because it obvious, mazreal, that you did not understand my comments.

1: i spent months earning achievement points for the chests, and was given glory boosters for it. i worked for these things, they were not free.
2: i did not say i was entitled to anything. i would like these glory boosters to be worth something, since i worked for them(al be it unwillingly) for months.
3: they have a value of 75 gems, which is right now worth over 6 gold.
4: 8500 achiement points awards by my count 31 glory boosters.
5: if we assume 5 gold per booster, which is estemating low, that means that arena net has give me 155 gold worth of glory boosters.
6:Glory boosters can not be sold, traded, or anything else besides thrown away or used, and can only be used for PVP. this is not true of things like WVW blueprints, or any items in the game, since they can be used or sold, and if used have utility until you upgrade.
7: i hate pvp. its extremely difficult and i will loose my match 90% of the time, earning almost no glory, so a booster is only worth a few hundred glory to me, which is nothing. this gives it a negligible utility value.
8: i earned 155 gold worth of boosters that i can’t use.
9: holding on to glory boosters takes no space, since they are stored in the pvp locker
10, and this is the kicker
i quote myself"what’s going to happen to all these glory boosters". i never once said i was entitled to anything at all. i was given 155 gold worth of rewards that will soon be worth nothing, and i can’t do anything about it. i can’t use them, i can’t sell them. but i did earn them. making them worthless is equivalent to your boss firing you the day before payday, and then not giving you your check for the last pay period. this is however a game. im not worried about such things as badly as real life. i would like for them to be sellable or have some use outside of pvp, but i can’t change if Arenanet does not. BUT here is the real kicker, i don’t know what will happen. so i made this thread, asking. and here we have people making stuff up saying i’m ordering arenanet to make them worth gold just to insult me. You guys are not reading my comments. you are not comprehending them.

Mazreal Blackknight.1564:

Omg your crazy you didn’t spend gems on them. Just like I didn’t I have 100 of tees boosters. I don’t play spvp, so I won’t care if they are gone. What makes you so entitled to think you get something else cause YOU didn’t bother to use them. Go PVP with them, unlock some skins, but tomes, buy what ever you want. It’s not The Devs fault you didn’t use them! I was also given a ring which I removed once a better trinket (ring) was found or made. You don’t see threads of people demanding something for that.

I also got blueprints for WvW I don’t use, and skins for weapons for PVP, stop whining about an aspect of the game YOU personally opted out of. Had they never told you glory was being removed and just took it out of the game you would be happy as can be since you don’t play PVP.

Welcome to the give me generation….

reread my comments. i note two things. i EARNED those boosters first off, i spent a long time building achievement points for the chests. 2nd off, i never said i was entitled to anything. i only stated what i would estimate their value to be. if you read the first comment, you would see me say nothing about what i want or what i should get. i asked what they will do with these useless gem store items they gave to me as a reward for my hard work instead of something i could use, now that they are removing all function they had.

you can sell blueprints for silver, you can use rings until a better one is found, you actually get something out of those. they are nothing like glory boosters.

the point is, i got glory boosters instead of boosters like strength, experience, magic find, ect from achievment point chests. these things have cost me tons of gems worth of boosters i could actually use. i have gotten well over a dozen of these from my 8.5k achievment points, thats 12 + boosters that could have been something else. and now, arenanet is making them trash items that cannot be used. its ridiculous.

Aside from being factually incorrect, what is actually ridiculous (to deserve or invite ridicule) about this is creating a thread announcing that the entirely free gifts that were given out, which were useless to some people when they received them, will continue to be useless to those people who never used them. Now that is some ridiculous whining.

1st off, they cost gems on the TP, 2nd off, even if given out, something else could have been given instead, they were chosen for a reason. if they did not give glory boosters, what could they have given instead, that is the value they have, and that value if bought was worth 75 gems, or now a days 6 gold a piece. if that was put towards rewards people like me could actually use, its a lot of gold worth of stuff. i have been given over 20 PVP boosters, at 75 gems a piece and we estimate low at 5 gold each, thats 100 gold worth of stuff minimum i was “given” and couldn’t use from achievement chests. 100 gold can buy over 99% of the things on the trading post, it is a large sum of gold many people were denied because they don’t PVP.

I want to know do they plan on taking this 100 gold they gave me and turn it into something i can use or sell, or trash items i can’t do anything with.

You were given an item for free, and complain when it wasn’t something that you wanted. Then you go on to say the item was useless to you from the beginning, but you’re even more mad now since you can’t use them anymore? But now you value them at 100 Gold.

Forgive me, but I’m really trying to understand what you’re upset at, since the motive keeps changing.

no. i earned an item worth 75 gems that is useless for me, but worth full value for others, and now is becoming obsolete, and am asking if something will be done about that.

They aren’t RNG.

They are when you can randomly get them from Daily and Monthly achievements, or previously from BL Chests.

CalmestChaos.2463:

Note xp boosters have value after level 80, while PVP glory boosters ONLY have value in PVP.

Experience Boosters have no value if you aren’t leveling any new characters. But even if you need to level, you can use free Level-ups from the Glory vendor.

experience boosters allow you to level past 80 faster as well, for more skill points. virtually equivalent as to pre 80, but can give you far more xp since you can go full exotic and tag more enemies more effectively in the high level areas. if anything, they are more valuable past 80 for leveling if your goal is skillpoints, which you need many of for lots of things.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

The drops were RNG. Just because you don’t want to use them, doesn’t mean other people don’t. I have tons of Glory Boosters, and I’m using them on a daily basis. If you don’t want or need them, simply throw them away. They were free to begin with, so complaining about them is moot.

PS – I have tons of Experience Boosters as well, and I don’t need them. They’ll be thrown away since I can convert my Glory to instant level ups.

Note xp boosters have value after level 80, while PVP glory boosters ONLY have value in PVP.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

They aren’t RNG. A PvP Booster comes in every Achievement Chest. So, they weren’t replacing something else. ArenaNet can’t really know who plays, or may play, PvP, so it was there for those that do. Same with the PvP Rewards Chest.

Just throw them away if you need the space in Inventory…or hold on to them with the off-chance they may some day be used in the Mystic Forge. Your choice. =)

i had forgotten that one fact i read months ago, but it still remains that we were given these things instead of other things, and still had a chance to get them in the random drops.

the point is, i got glory boosters instead of boosters like strength, experience, magic find, ect from achievment point chests. these things have cost me tons of gems worth of boosters i could actually use. i have gotten well over a dozen of these from my 8.5k achievment points, thats 12 + boosters that could have been something else. and now, arenanet is making them trash items that cannot be used. its ridiculous. they gave these boosters equivalent value to all other boosters, and gave them high drop rate in the achievement chests. to remove them from the game is beyond unfair.

EDIT: my mistake, they are garanteed, but the point still applies, they were given instead of something else.

My hypothesis is no more clutching at straws than the Mordremoth hypothesis itself. The hypothesis birth came about from a Combat Log entry, which itself could simply be put there to make it sound cooler than (Earth Attack).

If it is the Jungle Dragon and its name is indeed mordremoth, than the Living Story has been poorly written. The plot has been figured out long in advance. Also there will be outcries of once again the Sylvari take center stage of the Guild Wars 2 story.

Note the devs confirmed there is a jungle dragon in video.

ust past the 16 minute mark. this was the true birth of the dragon. the COE Subject only gave us the name of an earth attack, called the Teeth of Mordremoth. this is nothing of itself, except for the fact that he has 2 other attacks. the Teeth of jormag/Primordus. he has 3 attacks with similar names, and 2 of which are named after dragons with those dragons respective elements. this is compelling evidence on its own, but when the fact that a jungle dragon was confirmed by a dev is overwhelming evidence that Mordremoth is its name. the forest element would be grass, but there is no grass element, the next best thing is earth. dont forget, Primordus is fire and lava, so its not him.

these two pieces of evidence are not the only evidence though. there is one other key piece of information. the Sylvari tutorial mission, you fight a dragon. it is tequatl, but covered in trees, earth, and other forest stuff.

so. what’s going to happen to all these glory boosters you guys have been shoving down my throat instead of other boosters from achievement chests and stuff, since i don’t play pvp, i don’t use them.

this is what happens when good PvE players go into wvw:

seriously, scripted AI is better than 99% of the wvw and pvp players.

note that this was a 1v4 senario, and the 4 skilled PvE players got destryed by one WvW veteran. iv have been one shotted by thieves, dealt roughly 0 damage to a warrior as a zerker ele using DD(10 second fight before he downed me), lost target of a mesmer 30 times in 2 minutes, and numerous other things. PvE players cant take this at all. it sucks. you find that you don’t deal any real damage to opponents, while at the same time they burst you down in seconds. its just not fun.

it has happened a few times, but almost exclusivly at the new tequatl. my video will freeze solid, not a pixel of movement. my sound however will logicly continue to play. i will still hear sounds for several minutes that would probably be there if my video had not frozen. my computer is fine otherwise. every other application works, and the only fix i can find is to restart guildwars 2, whcih kicks me into an overflow for tequatl, so i have about 0% chance of killing him. my server is very good at killing tequatl, and around reset, we kill him 2-4 times a day. this and raw crashes have caused me to miss out on over 6 kills. the real reason i am asking this is becasue tequatl is the only area where this happenes. i have been in wvw mass zergs in heavy fights, with medium graphics and it works fine. at tequatl with low graphics, i can freeze at any random time. what might be causing this.

is this just some tequatl bug since this only happens at tequatl, or is my computer having really wierd issues

we had a zerg of dozens of players on the very first tequatl event, and it took everyone 30-45 minutes to find all 10 teeth. now, if we isolated that to 1 player, it would take days and they could easily never find one or two of them. this is why people would moan on the forums. dulfy gets in with those zergs, and learns how everything is done because of the dozens of players doing the stuff. then dulfy builds the guides and posts them for everyone so that those individuals who could not be on during the first time events have a chance at finding them all. you always have the option of just not using the guides.

let me get this straight. every player has zerkers and every player can easily burst you for 10k + while you have alot of toughness. usually, when i run my tank armor, i have 30k hp, and enough toughness that i dont ever take over 10k damage from anything non legendary enemies send at me. you are heavily underestimating toughness, especially since you are isolating it to WvWvW and PvP. i have PvP guard build based on toughness and support, and i can tank 2-3 guys for quite a while usually. in WvWvW it does not matter since in a zerg, damage is massive no matter what armor you have. zerkers, assasins, and other heavy burst builds are best for aoe, and tanky/bruiser builds are only good for roaming. iv had warriors who i as a zerker ele could not deal significant damage to with my staff. they could outrun me, and then turn around and dps me down, while i never got them below 75% because my main hits did not deal much damage. Anet has not adressed this because its not an issue. toughness is not meant to keep you alive when 20+ players are attacking you. bruizer builds crush zerker builds with skill. tanky support builds make your team redicuously more powerful. you just underestemate toughness

wiki.guildwars2.com (if that does not work, just google gw2 wiki. the wiki will tell you anything you want to know about anything so long as you give it a few days if its brand new.

this was posted on the living story, but it should at least be linked here. my server bugged tequatl for some reason and here the post we made about it.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/tequatl/Tequatl-Broke-during-50-Battery-event

im being 100% honest right now, stormbluff isle has beaten tequatl 7 times now, 1 of which was a glitch. we beat teq at reset today, he glitched and we beat him, then again after that glitch he worked fine and we beat him again. stormbluff has got it down

lore interruption. Sylvari not only don’t breed, but they have no care at all for gender, just like the all female race in mass effect, the Asari. Sylvari just don’t care. they were not made to care of such a trivial thing.

we are condition to play for rewards becasue thats all the community wants. gw2 has tons of rich lore and people ignore that stuff because spending 2 hours in a dungeon for 50 silver and a few common drops is not worth it. the gw2 community does not play the game for lore. they play it for fun and loot, and anet knows this. they make the loot fitting for the challenge, but when they up the rewards elsewhere, everyone flocks there and no one does the less rewarding stuff.

the silver mobs which are stronger then vets have been called lieutenants. that’s what i call them.

what it should do is spawn a 2 minute box which asks if the player is here or not. if they are afk they will not check it and be kicked after 2 minutes. after the 2 minutes is up, within 1 minute(preferably 30 seconds after the 2 minutes are up) tequatl will appear in the water.

an overflow is a whole different server just as each map is a different server. all linked via our giant ingame server which we have a name for. overflows are in a completly different server and are created at odd times and fill with players from any main server which reaches its cap. for example. if kaineg has SB spawn, and their map fills up, they will be sent to an oveflow, where they find that there are also a bunch of stormbluff and isle of janthir players who also were sent there due to overpopulation. this overflow server was created some time ago and has its own SB event which has its own unique timer. coincidence can cause this to sync with a actual servers instance, but asking to sync the overflow with kaineg is like asking the isle of janthir to spawn SB as well and get sent there incase of an overflow. its not ideal and has plenty of drawbacks. overflows would have bosses spawn multiple times an hour in some cases.

skillpoints can be turned into gold right now via the mystic forge. do that.

Stormbluff should have video of it somehwere.

STormbluff got him

stormbluff isle got our groups togeather, 100 people in teamspeak. we got him 95% first time, 75% with TS down, then 55% with new guys due to the patch. were hoping to get past the 50% mark and hit 30%next time

it appears to be 1 hour rest, with 30 minute window or something close to that
