Guild Wars 2

Nice to see some buffs to pet atks and function…. But they still die way too easily.

still no fix for those obstructed bugs with our bows…..

now our shots will hit 50% of the time instead of 10%

Y 50%?

still no fix for those obstructed bugs with our bows…..

I used to run similar build, except swap S&R with spike traps. I wear full power/precision/conditional dmg armor from AC. Traits 20/30/15/0/5.
Don’t really see big numbers but lots of conditional dmg ticks. (poison, fire, bleeds). It works great for me for FOTM <10.

However, after fotm 10 I started to die alot from agony. (still no ring after so many runs). And getting close to boss to throw traps is really a pain. For some reason, the further you are from the boss the less chances you get hit by agony. I change my utilities to QZ, Signet of renewal, fire traps/Lightning reflex (depends on whether the boss is easy to get close to to throw traps). I used signet of renewal cause I change my healing skill to troll ungent and hence lack a conditional removal. Healing spring heals for more but it forces you to stay on one spot to get the full effects, and I don’t think it affects pets too unless they are beside you. And I hate the fact that boss always cast their red AOE ring at the same spot as your healing spring zzzzzzz. Its like they do it on purpose.

The new build works great so far, didn’t die as much as before. Still using my old armor and traits though, cause I’m still experimenting on the utilities. Probably will change them once I settle which utilites I will use.

P.S would also appreciate some advice onexperience players out there. Thanks.

Who knows…. they might really increase the movement spd to 25% but at the same time increase thieves to 40%. So that they still be the fastest profession.

Just want to know, what is the team going to do with those “lucky” ones who receive a chest incorrectly (either already gotten the chest from the event itself, or those who did not attend and gotten the mail)? Are the other players just going to let it go again? This is beginning to look like the whole karma fiasco again, where those who exploited the game got away with it and the others was suppose to move on….

Not saying that those who incorrectly receive the chest from the mail should be punish, (since it’s not their fault at all for receiving the mail), but compensation should be given to the others who didn’t receive 1 at all.

BTW, I don’t think anyone will come forward and admit that they incorrectly receive a chest. Its like admitting to a crime. People are afraid that their acc will be investigated and their chest remove.

So why are pple that didn’t even attend the events or didn’t even log in during the events getting the chest?

Perhaps a problem with the script? I have no idea but Anet have dun goof’d a few too many times.

A lot of players have pushed through the mess ups
*Hacking
*Bot’s galore
*DC’s
*Bugged events/Personal Story
*The travesty that was The Lost Shores event
*The nerfs to gold making
*Nerfs to drop rates/bug? Don’t know yet the 13 page thread hasn’t been responded to..

I’m trying to remain confident but it’s quite difficult :/

The questions is how many more goof ups are the players willing to take before they start quiting the game.

well i have fren who didn’t even log in for the 3 days event. And he still gotten the chest.

So why are pple that didn’t even attend the events or didn’t even log in during the events getting the chest?

So the event was screwed up. The fixed for the event screwed up. What’s the prob the fix for the fixed will screw up?

Inqist.3584:

Keiran.1896:

Got disconnected during final boss and got nothing.

And those people receiving the mail even if they have opened the chest during the event or not participated at all.

No, no reason to complain.

^This

I mean if you would look at your paycheck and see your coworkers get double the money you get you would not complain? I don’t see how anyone should accept such an unequal distribution. There is no need to rage but i can’t understand all of you talking down these legitimate demands.

It not only that they get double your paycheck. Its you realize the company is even paying people who does’t even work there more than you

OMG i rather they didn’t give those chest at all. People who are not suppose to be getting the chest are getting it.

Anet is beginning to look like another FF14. It’s so filled with bugs and glitchy events. Its as though this game is still in its beta stages and not suppose to be release yet……. wait I think games in beta still didn’t have as much bugs as this. And I though D3 was bad when they release it. But at least Blizzard was quick in fixing all those important bugs and they fixed it right.

Actually if they send to everyone the chest, most people won’t be so angry. But the problem now is that people who didn’t deserve the chest are getting it (those who were not online at all) and those that were suppose to didn’t get it.

I’m not sure how Anet is going to fixed this problem. Most people who had received the chest had already sold/salvage those exotics and rares or even gotten their precursors. Are they going to ask them to delete those items again? (like that karma bug a couple of months ago) and tell the others to move on?

Worse still, if they didn’t tracked who they send the chest this time round and decided to give everyone a chest, then those undeserving people will be getting another chest again.

oh man. I didn’t get any chest at all even though I participated in the event. My friend who slept through the event (it was at 4am in where I’m from) got the free chest. Some of my guildies who already gotten the chest from the event itself get this free chest again.

Seems like this really didn’t solve any probs at all. Those people who was suppose to get the chest from this didn’t get at all. And all those that not suppose to gotten it……

edit: Just read a couple of posts. Seems like the official response to anyone complaining is that you did not qualify for the chest. If that is so, why did my friend who slept through the event for all 3 days gotten it. He didn’t even complete the monthly that is suppose to kill 200 karka…….

Hi all. My ranger is currently lvl80 with full AC gear and AC shortbow(power/prec/conditional dmg) with 20/30/15/0/5 traits. My utililties are all traps (frost, fire and spike). I been spamming traps during fights. Just wondering whether is this a good build? I concentrating on pve/dungeons and a occasional WvW.

I don’t really see ‘big’ numbers using this build, heck my sb crit for mostly only 600dmg. But i do notice there are lots of conditional ticks on the target. Most of the time I have difficulties with structures since traps doesn’t work on them and for boss fights which are hard to get close to throw my traps. Looking for advice on how to improve my build or whether I should change another build.

Thanks and much appreciated.

shucks. Did more than 3 but we always port back to the lab to repair

no wonder nvr lvl up

Hi, just want to ask how do you increase the fractal dungeon levels. Been doing a few but it stills stuck at level 1.

Thanks

On a side note… can the dungeon tokens be spend on other characters? If can I might re train another character and spend the tokens on exotics for him.

Means I will be behind everyone, won’t get to explore the new dungeons and areas now that I have to retrain……

Well… now that the patch have been release, I was wondering if there are any viable ranger build for pve, dungeons and occasionally wvw. My current build is 20/30/15/0/5 and been using traps and short bow to stack condition dmg. I been holding out spending my AC and COF tokens till after the patch incase there were major changes to the class resulting in diff gameplay. Should I buy the exotics with power/prec/crit or power/prec/cond or something else?

I know many people will recommend playing a diff character but this Ranger is my only 1 and retraining another doesn’t sound appealing to me.

Sigh. Guess the real question is whether I should stick with this ranger or make another character.

Thanks for the help.

I think there needs to be some changes in the dungeon. Make mobs easier to kill and less kiting. I just started doing dungeons few days ago, been running AC. And ALL the groups I team up with both guildies and PUG always run/ignore pass mobs and head straight for the boss/event. It is really frustrating as for first timers who aren’t sure of the map, or have few speed boon utilities, they lag behind the group and usually end up dead. Worse still is when you die during boss fight and have to run back pass all the mobs.

In short, mobs are really a pain in the kitten to kill and lot of pple are just ignoring them and running pass them. Is this what the devs have in mind for their dungeon systems?

Ranger/ Hunter type classes have always been the most difficult to balance, and most of the time resulting it in being 1 of the worse class compared to the others. Just look at WoW hunters. And ANet have been giving the same response as Blizzard representative. Always the “Please wait a little longer, we will be fixing the class in the next patch” excuse. Most of the time nothing been fixed. WoW hunters still sux after 5 expansions.

I’m playing on Asus G53SX. So far no lag even at WvW. Played other games like WoW, didn’t lag in their 25m instance. But I am only using medium settings on all my games. Which is good enough for me.

P.S FPS on GW2 for me is around 100+

Sigh. I tried Rata Sanctum instance area too. Same problem. Can’t get my 100% complete. Hope this is fixed soon

Is there anyway to disable the 3D screen permanently. I tried un-checking the “Enable Stereoscopic Rendering” option, but it does not last. Every time I re-start the game or alt-tab during the game, it auto goes back to 3D mode by itself. Its very frustrating having to disable it everytime.

I tried again, this time it gave an error msg

Error code 7:0:0:783:101
The game has lost connection with the server

Help, I can’t enter Knut Whitebeard’s Loft. Everything i try to enter it brings me to the map transition screen and get stuck there. With the loading circle at the bottom right still spinning. I get stuck at that screen for more than 5 mins, always have to ctrl+alt+dlt to close gw2 application
