Hi,

Are the Tequatl achievements under Bosses (not the Boss Week under living story), the one that gets you the title Sunbringer(not the wings), permanent? Has any dev commented/release notes mentioned anything about this?

Liadri alienates a lot of gw2 players

With norn, charr and asura characters, this feels like a fight against the camera (same as many of the jumping puzzles; it’s as if the people creating the environments and the people coding the camera never bothered to talk to each other – or play the game).

With human and sylvari characters, it feels “merely” as a fight against the random number generator (especially phase 2) and the renderer (which sometimes doesn’t render the red circles at all, and sometimes blurs the entire image unless players turn off post-processing).

Having to walk aaaaaall the way back every single time is the cherry on top of the bad game design cake.

Complexity and skill requirement is great. RNG-based instant death followed by repetitive walking is not.

use the infinite watchknight tonic. Problem solved

multi task. You have to keep on attacking her while doing the 4th to 8th orbs. I was a super tanky character when I fought her and didn’t have problem downing her as long as I keep attacking her while doing the orbs.

Why not make all limited time items available?
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/bltc/Anniversary-Sale-Spoilers

According to this, and it seems to be correct so far, that not all limited time items are coming back. Why? It’s not like it costs ANET to produce these items. I specifically need the Christmas minis and I’m sad to see it’s not in this sale. Why make the Halloween available and not the Christmas one?

Any chance you’re going to bring the Christmas minis this coming Wintersday?

Calmwinds.4753

Yes, it does seem there are players with OCD out there.

My advice: Skip the mini. Leave an empty spot there. It’ll be good therapy for your brain.

As for the game item hoarding issue, buying bank tabs is readily available and painless. Maybe automatic deletion of items if you haven’t touched them within a certain period of time?

Dude.. What are you even talking about? OCD != Collecting.
Skip the mini? Sure. But then I might as well skip any other minipets as well. Look at it like this; What if that SWEET armor set you want was completely available ingame, but the chestpiece was only available if you were at gamescon? You can suck it up, but since you couldn’t know before you had the rest of the pieces you are just still left with a missing piece that you can’t obtain.

Also.. Item hoarding? What? Dude, there are collectible slots for minis, none of us were talking about banks space. Deletion of.. Items.. What? Just what?

Sorry have to agree with Icelan that there seems to be some sort of OCD going on here.
Let me guess, you probably have every single living story achievement done as well and if you were to miss one due to difficulty/some other reason, you’d skip the rest of the next living story contents as well.

Hi,

due to having no luck in catching Fields of Ruin invasion for 5 days now(because everytime it happens, I’m at work or late late at night), can I leave my character away from keyboard in Fields of Ruin? I’m not leaving my character just afk since it will be kicked, I’m going to put some pressure on “W” and “D” keys so my character keeps running in circles so I don’t get booted.

Is this considered botting? My character is technically just running in a small circle. I just want the achievement done.

Thanks!

Invasion Zones

in Clockwork Chaos

Posted by: Calmwinds.4753

Calmwinds.4753

  • Every map will be invaded at least once per day, probably twice. In some cases, three times.
  • Builds do not affect the rotation.
  • The rotation is the same across all servers.
  • If you play at the same time every day, you will see all 13 maps by the end of the Clockwork Chaos release.

You’re saying there’s a rotation? So it’s set and not random? Why not just let us know what the rotation is?

I loved Scarlet’s Playhouse !! It was so much fun, I had a great time doing it <3

After the disaster that was Liadri, and the horrible achievements that go with her, this was absolutely awesome ^3^

The end fight with Scarlet wasn’t too easy and it wasn’t too hard. It was perfect!!

It’s how Liadri should have been. It’s how she should be, when the gauntlet comes back.

Thank yooouu (=^_^=)/

No. Liadri is/was perfect. Just because you can’t do something, doesn’t mean Anet should be making easy mode for all content. Please let us have our challenging content, and you can have Scarlet. Then everyone is happy!

100% agree… The only way ANET can cater to our likes, is to have a variety of content. You are happy with Scarlet, and we are happy with Liadri. Leave it at that. No nerfing required. More Liadri and more Scarlet contents in the future pls. TY for Liadri ANET!

I agree. It’s either a zerg fest spamming 1 until you fall asleep or get too frustrated because of difficult content circulating around a bad camera. I still have fun with the game but refuse to spend anymore money for various other reasons.

more like challenging camera.. it’s part of the challenge

I don’t see the problem with giving a player the ability to select a difficulty level for certain content (especially time-limited events). Players who want high difficulty can choose the hardest mode, while others can still play at their level.

It gives everyone what they want. Why would anyone object to that?

no objection as long as the harder difficulty gets something exclusive. it doesn’t have to be a mini, but a title will do

The only thing i think that needs to be changed is removing the dome and some sort of fix to aoe rings to help colour blind people.

I have beat her.

yes to aoe for color blind.. No to dome change. It’s part of the challenge.. everyone that finished had to go through it. It’s not that bad

Treat the poor camera as part of the challenge. People that killed Liadri had that camera too. It’s not just you.

As to your thief, my friend got Light up the Darkness achievement (8 orbs) before I actually did. He was using a thief and I thought he had a huge advantage due to invis. I’ve seen a lot of thieves own liadri.

Also, about the color, I’ve seen people do Liadri on max settings, ie blinding effect is present and still manage to get 8 orbs and kill her. The way I see it, there’s so many people that beat her already and they all had to go through all of your issues.

The reason why I won't be killing 'Liadri'.

Agree. I burned about 100 tickets in total for both killing Liadri and Light up the Darkness. Now I’m so proficient at it I’ve actually done Light up the Darkness about 10x now. A couple of them with max graphics settings (yes, with post processing). I am actually able to complete light up the darkness approximately 30-40% of the attempts I make.

So why they created something like that ONLY for ppl who enyoj challenging fights? Not everybody like It. I just wanna get achievements, that’s all.

Because a lot of easy content isn’t very enjoyable for people who like challenge. So that content isn’t for them, just like this content isn’t for you.
Honestly, there’s very little hard content like this anyway.

As for achievements- You don’t need them; they’re not necessary at all.

This sums it up! Twice!

Critial Diff between Challenging & Punishing

Posted by: Calmwinds.4753

Calmwinds.4753

We have been given extremely easy contents in the past. GW2 has been a joke in terms of difficulty and it wasn’t fun. People would end up getting everything if they just grind.

IMO, this patch(gauntlet) is a huge step forward. Definitely a challenge rather than a punish. Keep up the good work ANET!!

Would love to see more Liadri and Aetherblade dungeon type achievements! Give us more achievements that people actually need skills to do rather than grind.

Are any DEVS even going to address all the issues with the gauntlet much less idk maybe fix or change some aspects of the arenas we fight in? There has been quite a few valid points brought up against the way this even caters to just a few.

Look I really am all for hard content and yeah I’ve beat this fight… that aside before this event wraps up will you guys be doing any changes to the texture of the floor/looks of it for the arena to show the red circles a bit better for all… Will you guys be looking into helping players out by idk making this fight instanced cause I can hardly break 9 FPS on her fights even still trying for 8 Orbs no matter what time of day I play this zone seems to lag me out and hog all my resources…

Please just give us some kinda update why you keep us in the dark on stealth nerfs idk but some communication goes a long ways… I never farmed any of the arena fights for money but if any changes are made to the battles you should share that info with the player base.

Again I think you guys do a fantastic job and can be really creative but these arena fights are not hard they are just flawed and can be fixed and or adjusted a bit better now and in the future to avoid things like this..

Oh and for all you fanboys crying dont nerf her well oh well good on you for getting more fps or having better eye sight to see red circles then most of the player base…. You want hard content I do too but flawed content needs to not be the reason the content is hard………………..

I had the same FPS as you. Please don’t nerf Liadri. She’s still quite doable.

To ANET: I found Swiftness (or having some kind of mspeed buff) was maybe a little too effective overall. Possibly in future encounters you could have a hard movement debuff that stacks in intensity per hit, with each condi clear removing one “stack”.

This is actually true. As long as you’re not doing the “run at the edge of the room” tactic that people were pushing early on for some reason, ANY kind of runspeed is completely overpowered for phase 2.

Perma crippling a player does not make for a more challenging encounter. They could actually come up with better boss mechanics instead on depending on one-shot mechanics.

If the cripple doesn’t make it more challenging, then I’m assuming you’ve beaten her. I’m just puzzled if you’re QQing because she’s too easy or what.

One-shot mechanic makes people be alert at all times while fighting her. Imo, a good mechanic.

Light Up The Darkness needs a title...

in Queen's Jubilee

Posted by: Calmwinds.4753

Calmwinds.4753

Sorry about the titles. This was kind of an oversight. I am nearly certain that the Gauntlet will return. Possibly as part of the activity rotation someday. Ideally we’ll extend it with more tiers of bosses, gambits, and achievements (and titles). I’m not sure if its possibly to retro-actively associate a new title with an old achievement but I will investigate. If so perhaps we can add some titles when the Gauntlet returns.

If you do bring the Gauntlet back at a later point, with new tiers and gambits: please don’t resort to one-hit mechanics. Make it actually, mechanically challenging. And in a way that also tanky build can beat it. At the moment it’s just “take a berserker build, otherwise the time limit will kill you”.

As for the title: That shouldn’t be that hard if your code is basic level decent. Wait until the Gauntlet is over, poll the database if the achievement is done and then set the entry for the title to “True”. Done. If it’s not that easy, I would be very interested to hear why (not mocking or anything, I’m genuinely interested).

Sorry but I beat Liadri with a tanky guardian, 3K armor! If you think it’s easy to beat Liadri with a berserker build, then you should try it and see for yourself.

I support this, I currently have five level 80 characters and I still can’t beat her with any of them. I shouldn’t have to buy a whole new set of armor just to kill one person because my builds currently don’t work or have to level an entirely new character because I’m not playing the right class. I have even soloed some fractals that don’t require multiple people mechanically and that was easier than this boss

Poor excuse. I killed Liadri with a zerk ranger and a tanky guardian and I’m sure people have with other classes too. Just because you can’t seem to do it doesn’t mean it’s impossible and needs nerfing.

“elitist”

I hear that word more on these forums than anywhere else. As if it’s a crime to actually BE GOOD at video games and desire challenges that require you to BE GOOD too complete them.

.

I know! People who feels entitle to get the achievements without putting in the effort/skills seem to be hating on people that finish them. If you’re going to QQ about how hard a content is, then you don’t deserve to get the achievement. It’s called an achievement for a reason.

8 orb Liadri (Light up the Darkness) -Warrior

in Queen's Jubilee

Posted by: Calmwinds.4753

Calmwinds.4753

How do you kill her on time after you’ve thrown the 8 crystals?

you must be really fast i did 16 tries on my guardian today, i managed to get to 8 orbs but the time run out everytime you have to use some burst damage skills… range dmg is commonly not enough

Hey! Look at it this way. When I tried to kill her with my guardian with 3 orbs, I couldn’t do it. That was a pretty dps guardian as it is. 83% crit dmg and 51% crit chance.

When I did the 8 orbs on my guardian, I spec’d to be tanky 60% crit dmg and 39% crit chance at 3,016 armor. I was able to down her no problem because the extra orbs give her vulnerability stacks. And they’re not ordinary vulnerability stacks. They seem to do way more damage.

Trick is to multi task. You need to keep attacking her while kiting the spawns to the spots. You can’t stop attacking her on phase 2. You’ll notice the vulnerability help immencely

You had fun on light up the darkness? People hardly have fun on the regular achievment if you really did have fun on the light up darkness you’d have to be the kind of person that loves pure torture.

yes I did have fun doing it. Was it hard? Hell yeah! It took me 60 tickets to get it. But I did it in 3 days. 20 tickets a day or so, so I didn’t burn myself out. And each day I notice the big improvement in fighting her.

I thinking most people burn themselves out cuz they attempt a challenge and expect success in one sitting.

PS. as for the poor camera view people are complaining about, it’s fine imo. It’s just part of the mechanic/challenge. It doesn’t stop you from defeating Liadri.

Calmwinds.4753

Just contact support and explain to them that you made a mistake on your Display Name and would like to repurchase the game after a refund so you can make a new one(since you can’t change it yourself). They might not flag your CC if you explain. If they do, don’t you have more than 1 CC?

I would strongly suggest against this method. It is misuse of a system for something it ins’t intended for. You are basicly saying that the game is bad and you made a mistake buying it and then directly buying it again.

The displayname is often more a big thing for the person then for the people around them. Besides that, they are looking in ways of offering you and others a good and solid way to do this in the future.

A feature which btw may never come.

I always thought the refund was there for satisfaction guarantee or something. If the OP is not satisfied because he’s bothered by the Display Name, I think it’s a valid reason.
