Guild Wars 2

Hey Zui,
Mudblood Dan from LaLa here, I’d be more than happy to attend, but LaLa is no longer a thing. More than happy to share my thoughts on Sunday, though.
o/

The API section of the forum seems to be far more active from a developer point of view, and it’s nice to have such a close relationship and community with developers of the game we love to play and make applications for so I am going to say +1 to this thread, thank you API developers <3

ye I thought so too but since we don’t have a timer and I lack the editing ability to put on a timer, I thought it best to go with 5:59

OnTopic: Why would you remove one of the more challenging engagements in the game? I feel like it’s one of the most rewarding fights when you overcome it, either through the messy non-stealth tactic or the coordinated stealth tactic. If you don’t enjoy it I think you just need to take it into consideration that it’s a possibility that you may get it should you play fractals.
Also with the comeuppance of Heart Of Thorns the RNG will be taken out of what fractal you get and they will be static fractals for certain levels. So you will never have to do mai trin if you do not wish to.

Offtopic: I think you need to take a break from the game Pino or at least the LFG. All your posts in recent days have been flaming the casual community on content that is designed to be conquered with team synergy which you simply don’t get with pugs. As unfortunately true as that is. Watch streams or footage of high end PvE guilds breeze the content you whine about and you’ll see that it can be fun.

thanks Jerem! How come the high profile guilds don’t like CoE? been a lot of hate towards this record from the “veterans” of the community, can’t quite understand that :P Can only really see a problem with the time gate in p2/3

attached is a screenshot, as you can see blink and 2 mimics are on my hotbar. A bug also with this is when I have mimic equipped into the second utility slot, and then blink without using mimic prior to it, mimic shares blinks cooldown of 30 seconds. This bug doesn’t affect mimic when it is in the 3rd utility slot, only the second and when blink is in the first utility slot. The bug which enables you to equip 2 mimics is probably related to mimic sharing blinks cooldown in this setup.

UPDATE: Using any utility skill with a cooldown gives signet of inspiratioin the same cooldown as seen in attachments 2 and 3, 2 being blink, 3 being veil.

People complain that stuff is to easy in gw2 clearly they havent done ac with 4 lvl 35s in blue/green gear being the only 80

As long as the underlevels draw any kind of aggro it’s laughably easy on an ele. The hardest part would be p3 time-gated burrows.

you forgot to read the part where he said he was a pvt guardian xD

This run took a lot of blood, sweat & tears and praying to RNGesus at times. this time could also be improved on as we made a few mistakes but for now we hope you enjoy our run!

This is still an issue

After today’s patch (12-09-2014) I can’t load the launcher in order to play the game.

I would like to be considered You’re very generous for giving that away bro!

I think 5 seconds is more than adequate, although I personally would just call for it every 15 minutes in sync with the game tick, because that’s the only time where owned objectives count towards anything and when scores are updated

IMO the best place to find meta builds is on DnT’s official forums, for those that don’t know who they are, they’re a guild from the US that specialise in speed running dungeons and also finding/calculating all the best builds for the current meta, mainly focusing in on team play rather than solo content or w/e. A link to their forum can be found here: http://www.dtguilds.com/forum/m/6563292/viewforum/4280860

not always about the build (although that does tend to help a lot) it’s more about your play style and finding a build that suits that. If you have a very glassy build, you need to know when to engage and when to gtfo of a fight and in what manner to do so. Guild Wars 2 is an extremely diverse game in the amount of builds that there are available so to ask “can this build counter any class” is quite honestly a joke in itself. Anyone can pick up a meta build, slap it on their level 80 with all ascended gear and still suck at the play style. It’s all about practice, evaluation and improvement. My advice to you is start recording your own gameplay and if you lose fights, watch it back and see what you did wrong and use that as a learning tool.
Hope this helps,
Dan

I think it’s about time that I added my 20 cents to this thread; I think you all need to cut the developers some slack. As stated before in this post, they have lives and while I appreciate that yes they had a deadline that would have been nice of them to meet, I think we should all allow some breathing space to those that make Guild Wars 2 possible. These people that your slating, that you’re cussing at, are the people that allow you to log in every day, customize your characters the way you do and play them the way you do. But believe me when I say that’s no easy task. Coming from a programming background, I know some of the difficulties of developing software, this piece of software specifically being an MMO. Tbh I think the devs deserve a pat on the back for achieving what they have already and I look forward to what else Arena Net has in store for this game as the possibilities are endless.

lol reason why it’s so hard for them I guess is because Far Shiver Peaks just hack all the time Nice to see your tactics haven’t changed with ele’s wall hacking. GG.

Yes i’m hungry nomnom i’ll bite. Just can’t thats shallow state of mind there. Maybe there are rotten apples on some servers. But we have nothing to do with that and as was said before you can’t see them and we can’t see them so who says that they are not from another server in thet matchup what so ever. I play daily for hours and never seen it happen.

Cheers.

lol

This is actually pretty sick, I was looking for an application like this for a while! If you don’t mind me asking, may I see the source?

Then you might want to revisit your code anyway

Pow Pow, Shots Fired! Man Down!

This is a neat idea and I think a lot of players would actually be very very interested in functionality like this, but with the API in it’s current state, it does not offer any public information about Health bars for both players you own and players that you don’t. There have been a few people digging around the client and have found that the client itself stores damage numbers for DPS monitoring. If this information is kept client side then it’s totally possible that the client also stores information on health numbers client side that could be read from a third party application.

So baring that in mind you could go from GW2 Client -> Third Party Application -> Post information to a server -> Overlay Application displays information obtained from clients

I think a lot of the things that can be done with the current API have already been done, or some obscene hacks like third party applications (as smiley has already stated) have been made to over come some hurdles. More information from the Guild Wars 2 backend would probably have to be exposed before you can start doing some cool kitten with overwolf that hasn’t been done already.

I personally haven’t had any lag, but maybe thats me. In the video posted, your skill bar is just lit up, can you tell me whats going on there? 1-5 on the bar looks like you are spamming the skills, is that you or the game?

yeah it’s just the server lagging out. Idk, it gets really frustrating that my gameplay experience is so heavily compromised by new content :/ I was just getting back in to the game as well after a few months break from it. It’s also really weird that the guild chat was still functional while this was all happening.

I swear you can already get them from the PvP lockers? Just a case of unlocking them?

I was just wondering if else knew why these random lag spikes (Rendering the game unplayable) keep happening. It’s the first time it’s happened for me and it’s quite frustrating when they seem to almost randomly occur. A video reference for what happens can be found here

I’m also 99% sure that my internet connection isn’t the issue as it stays live the whole time and this was a recent speed test. This has only started happening since the new Cutthroat Politics event came out, anyone else?
