Guild Wars 2

im pretty sure most video cards have a way to manually limit fps. Though i’m not 100% sure on this or know how to do it. You can try googling it though.

yep zhaitan boss fight is a major let down. Though mine wasn’t making breakfast just hugging a big rock pillar while we shot him down with cannons.

but even then 3 of us went afk and we had only 2 people shooting him.

Karizee.8076:

Yes. You paid an additional 5% when you listed it, you do not get the listing fee back, but you will get your buy order price back.

i’m not really sure if buy orders have listing fee’s or if that only applies to selling. I haven’t noticed it at least, though i might test it out later.

No, not even close because I think most will tire of it quicker than GW.
I liked to custom my skills the way I wanted them in GW1 now we are stuck with unwanted skills depending on what weapon you equip.

my skillset with a rifle engineer seems pretty boring.

1 – auto attack dmg.
2 – 0 dmg short immobilize (barely used unless i need to stay alive/keep someone else alive)
3 – very very short range attack, not worth using unless in 100 range (melee swings are like 130 range from what ive heard)
4 – again only use is to stay alive, used rarely as it renders my character vulnerable for a while.
5 – again requires to be in short range only good for aoe situations where i wont die.

so yeah. running around with 1 is basically all you do as rifle engineer besides putting some turrets down that last forever and of course toolbelt, but the turrets make it so you cant use that either, the only active skill i use is incendiary ammo which has a minute cooldown other than heal of course)

When you’re at level 80, getting a mere 16 levels in a crafting profession will get you monthly survivor. That’s not even enough levels to make refining materials stop being yellow.

Aside from that, running around in a zerg in straits will get you 100k xp pretty quickly from the events alone

not only that but completing a dungeon at lvl 80 reward 178k experience. so thats impossible to fail if you just do a dungeon once a month.

the trailer was terrible.

i was like “what?”
then forgot about it.

i have not really seen any epic fights in this game and i’ve done almost every encounter.

to be honest they’re all rather boring with the same way to beat them all. press 1 and double tap move on red circles. that’s it.

well now we know why everyone’s gear breaks and they complain about repairs.

made in china.

p.s. that was a joke not being racist, im asian.

i used to make all my gold from buying yellows and salvaging them into ectoplasm so i’ll share my view.

back when i started doing this on average i would get 2+ per yellow i salvaged, reliably, i did this for a couple hundred yellow weapons btw.

then i noticed a nerf a while back where i would get around 1.4 ectos per yellow i salvaged again i did this hundreds of times.

now i find it hard to get ectos from them at all and not only that but ectos prices have to started to rise again up to 3 – 4s what they were worth a little while back indicating it’s now harder to get them.

considering i can just pay my alt to level 2 professions and hit level 80 it’s pretty funny to see people posting their levelling time.

well like everyone has said to me.

but-but-but theres tonnes of dynamic events and maps to do! we don’t care if you’ve done them 10 times each or if they’re basically just a glorified way of saying go kill 200 of that monster. you need to do it 100 times more for that awesome purely aesthetic legendary!

this game was never about level 80 why are you level 80 already? go delete your character and play a new one and this time take 2 months to do it ok?

if you haven’t played the way i just said it, you’re playing the game wrong.

oh and DON’T you ever ask for more, because the game is fine the way it is.

honestly a dragon that weak i have no idea how they couldn’t kill him sooner.

nozdrog, i know right? i can make a lvl 80 alt just by chucking a few gold down on the tp and levelling some crafting on it.

well in wvw im doing 3k crits on auto attack with rifle with a 55% crit chance (75% when buffed) and with sigil of rage (doubles attack speed when it procs) people drop without being able to move.

still i think thats achieveable on any other class though lol.

im kinda tempted to try a grenade engineer with the trait that makes explosions heal allies as a healer.

if each grenade does 200 healing it might be worth it. while you wont be able to completely heal all of the damage you will make it so that running away is used far less.

yep threat is determined by proximity and damage dealt mainly. If you have threat just stand at max range with a ranged weapon and let it hit some other melee, if your group is all ranged well then have fun kiting.

my thoughts on this endgame is i don’t really like it. I enjoyed the game and all, but it feels like a single player game with some multiplayer on the side.

i enjoy mmo’s more than rpgs for the sake of being able to spend lots of time and having people go “wow this guy looks strong and skilled” and for the sake that what you are doing is not just to get strong enough to reveal the end of the story but to get ready for actual really hard, really epic fights.

LOL no one said they lack the reflexes…but I am sure you have been one shotted.

I have been one shotted. And every time I have, I know it was my own fault for not getting out of the way. See, unlike you, I’m not going to complain about the game whenever I screw up.

there is a fight in cof exp, although very easy and i have never seen a wipe on this guy. that summons a giant devourer. this does an aoe that puts a red circle on the ground for 0.5seconds or less before it hits (not sure if thats just bugged though) and deals around 15k dmg on 2500 toughness. it can kill heavy and light armor people in one shot, is pretty hard to dodge because of the short warning, its ranged and rather large circle too.

theres a fight in arah explorable, giganticus lupicus. His aoe hits around 10k when i was stacking toughness and vit which got me 19k hp as an engineer, which still means i die in 2 hits, so i put on glass cannon gear it hits me for 11k and i have 15k hp, still can take 2 hits.

so his point in saying building tanky when things hit so hard is kinda valid. taking off 1k dmg off 10k dmg attacks doesn’t really do anything when you’re halving your damage for it.

we didn’t say it wasn’t worth $60.

and with the amount of gems i’ve bought, although using gold. i’m guessing they dont stock gems unless it was bought by another player (because they simply don’t want to just hand out their cash shop stuff). I’ve earned them something over $150.

the afk probably totals something of 30 hours btw.

Post a screenshot of your world completion and sets of dungeon armor, please.

Oh, you don’t have those? Well, then there’s still stuff to do while waiting for ANet to deliver more content, which Colin said they will:

Colin Johanson

No need to buy them, Gw2 will feature consistent free content updates and in-game events going forward. Our goal is to make it so you get more from Gw2 for free than you get from a game you pay a subscription for.

On top of a large amount of free bonus content, we will be expanding on offerings in the Black Lion Trading Company going forward, as well as be doing large-scale expansion content down the road.

We’ll cover a lot of the details on the kind of support and plans we have in place over the next month or so on the Gw2 blog and with our press partners.

We do appreciate that you’d like to buy lots of new content, but we’d prefer to give a lot of it to you for free, cause that’s what we think a responsible MMO company does!

Now for fun, post a screenshot of your /age.

http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn157/neferseki/gw2/gw011.jpg

here ya go, i know its really high, but i know a lot of those hours are from afking in town as well while just checking every half hour if something interesting is happening.

i do also get out and stuff, the reason its so high is because i took some time off when it came out with like 3 hours sleep a day. so most of the hours are from the early days.

i know people are gonna say “that’s what you get for rushing and burning through content” but that’s not really the point.

a good 50 hours was spent farming karma, another 30 or 40 hours was spent farming CoF. so no it’s not about burning through the game it’s just about the sheer repetition of mundane things. need something interesting and difficult (explore dungeons aren’t hard with graveyard zerging its just a matter of bad groups = takes ages, good groups = fast)

Yeah, there’s quite a lot of us that thought the game would be something more than “game of the week”. Get level 80, get full exo, nothing to do? Move on.

Seems you would have done some research and learned that GW2 was never intended to be a race of who can get the BIS gear fastest.

we never said we played it that way did we? i mucked around with jumping puzzles and did every event i came across, did every dungeon, spent time in divinites reach just chatting with people.

what we want are rewarding experiences in GW2 that we can tell tales of to our friends. Ones that are actually a feat and feel like we’ve accomplished something. (other than creating the legendary, while a fun objective to work towards is quite a huge task and is rather more tedious farming of ordinary stuff than epic encounters)

“So is this the new go to argument from people who thought GW2 was WoW2?”
lol no, it means you are probably at where we were a while ago. We said the same thing back then.

“Then make a new character?”
believe it or not, some people don’t see it as a new experience just because they have 5 – 10 different skills that virtually do the same thing (help you kill your target)

why is dota and LoL so popular with no endgame? because these are single matches that can played in less than an hour.

I can do a LOT of stuff in GW2 in less than an hour.

it’s not about how much you can do in an hour.

didn’t think i’d get such a stupid response so quickly. a LoL match from start to finish is over an in hour.

What did you do in an hour in GW2? farm 2 gold, lol. You won’t start to finish a character in GW2 in under an hour. chances are you play a single character for 200 hours or more.

you are probably not even 80. Don’t get me wrong I LOVED absolutely LOVED the game while i was levelling up and finishing the map. I have over 290 hours played on my main character.

even though this a troll thread i’ll dignify it with a response.

totally different types of games dude.

why is dota and LoL so popular with no endgame? because these are single matches that can played in less than an hour.

In an MMO you are living a fantasy life, usually that of an adventurer. You need goals in any life man, real life included.

If someone in real life told you they have 0 goals, 0 plans for their future, 0 ambitions what would you say? it’s the same in a fantasy life. You need a goal, you need a plan for what you are gonna do in the future, you need ambitions.

all you people shutting him down saying you get the same rewards regardless of level.

that’s not the point. He’s saying it’s not worth your time at level 80 to do them anymore. While levelling you have the prospect of getting stronger.

As someone who has been level 80 for over 17 days now, i can say there is literally nothing to do besides grind your legendary. full exotic gear can be obtained in 2 days that have max stats and it’s not even needed because there is no dungeon hard enough for you to need anything higher than rares. You get de-scaled in some dungeons which means better gear practically does nothing for you. all that matters is the type of gear you are using (i.e. types of stats on the item)

for all the people who don’t want to farm the legendary and yes i know how to make it . It’s ridiculously hard, then there really is nothing to do. WvW was fun for a while but now it feels like a zerg, if you dont have a group of 50 people you’re not doing anything and if you are in a group of 50 you feel like you’re doing nothing.

5v5 pvp matches can be done from the start and use totally different everything so calling that endgame is void.

i kind of miss the trinity roles.

being a ranged squishy i really hate kiting bosses that seem to target my engineer all the time.

i also feel support is absolutely useless cos being able to heal others for 500 – 1000 hit points every 20 seconds is, well, useless and almost anyone can give others the 4 basic buffs.

i kind of feel that instead of being able to play a dungeon 3 ways, tank, dps and healer (aion had 4 ways, with a support role, the chanter in there) i can only play one way, that way is to just kill things while keeping myself alive and thats it.

on the wiki it says when crafting when the orichalcum version of the mystic rifle that it’s currently bugged and produces a lvl 62 weapon.

which i just saw on the trading post. Where as other orichalcum version of the mystic weapons are level 80.

Is this intentional? is this getting fixed? i was wondering because i’d like to make myself an orichalcum mystic rifle but if it’s going to give me a lvl 62 weapon i dont want to do it.
