Aieo.2815:

The chest is a guaranteed rare or above drop. It’s dropped by any mobs/players/npcs in WvW.

Edit: You can find it in PvE environment too.

By guaranteed to drop a rare or above, do you mean be empty or have a pelt in it? Because that has been my experience.

Unless they’ve fixed it, which would be cool.

TheMightyAltroll.3485:

Watch my tutorial, you’ll need alot of money to make it strong in WvW, but you’ll have an idea as to how a Well Build can be put together.

video link?

Vague thread is vague

From interviews and comments I’ve read, people don’t get banned for cursing. They get banned for being abusive to other players.

i.e. if you curse because you fell and died, meh…. If you call someone a kittening kitten kittener with a small kitten. Then you’re open to being banned.

IT’S… SCREENSHOT TIME!

http://i.imgur.com/lkCP10s.jpg – A picture says a thousand words… I think this one says “Darkhaven’s superior and amazing tactics.”

http://i.imgur.com/Y4pz3Yu.jpg – Darkhaven using 4 trebs on a paper tower that we just took (the fourth treb is out of sight). The funny part is, we took all four trebs out anyway!

http://i.imgur.com/vklDQnV.jpg – Darkhaven’s 50+ zerg is craving 2-6 badges! Grub style! Dem tactics!

http://i.imgur.com/nLKe3KL.jpg – The king of amazing seige placement strikes again.. Nicely done, but I think it should have been just a bit closer!

http://i.imgur.com/Eh2C8BJ.jpg – THE SHIVERS treb spot broke down SM’s wall

http://i.imgur.com/PmhBRXI.jpg – Darkhaven using FIVE catas on a PAPER wall! (inb4 reinforced, it upgraded after they built all five catas)

http://i.imgur.com/sKlowxK.jpg – Badge farming the zerglings lol (this was a 50+ zerg. After they realized that they can’t autoattack an upgraded door down, they moved to QL because the gate was paper and easier to autoattack. This leads me to my next picture…)

http://i.imgur.com/pXoOlEY.jpg – Teamwork, coordination, and skill…. Right?

ENJOY.

i see your gloves got damaged, you should have them repaired.

Because it’s fun.

This is not griefing, this is valid tactics.

the only option i see is “ask a question” and attaching a pic, but the pic doesn’t give the offenders name if it’s on another team.

Has Arenanet ever commented on one of these threads?

There’s 2 instances where our server has caught someone exploiting in wvw. In one instance the guy was on our team, and there was no real way of reporting them. most people reported them for botting, but that’s not what they were doing.

Not sure how this would be recieved but what about a speed buff / speed penalty given to the size of the group?

If a servers population is an area (not sure how this would be defined, but area equivalent to a camp) was less than 10(?) then all members in that area would recieve 10% boost to speed. if the population is very high say 50 members then a 10% penalty. Large armys are hard to move, skirmishers however have traditionally been quick.

I’ve put alot of thought into this, and I’m ok with it.

just an fyi

ha ha ha

just virtual pixels fellow player!

ha ha ha

Oh, I know it. Doesn’t bother me, but i’ve had people on server get worked up over it. I tell them just ignore ’em.

We dont get demoralized, and please dont let up…. to be honest with the heavy presence you guys have in the mornings this same thing will happen till you get moved up a tier. We dont have a heavy wvw population but the people we do have from about 9pm-2am is a powerhouse. So, until your hoard passes through keep doin what youre doin…we will put it to good use against whoever peeks in to tier 6.

I play most mornings after work, 6am-9am weekdays CST. Usually leveling my wvw guardian Lizsy Borden. There’s a number of times there just 4 or 5 DH in EB. I get faceplanted a lot because a) i’m not that good and b) well I’m not that good. But kitten [char] members from AR make it easy to return.

As a side note, i’ve had 3 tiny wooden chest drops in wvw with my guardian from level 55 to 62ish.

1 was completely empty, 2 had junk skulls and that’s it.

I like to think they would have been precursers if she was 80..

XxNuggetxX.7823:

joke’s aside there should be free transfers to lower tiers eg T7-T8 but that is another topic.

That’s actually a really good idea. free transfers to bottom 2 tiers.

abelooi.9156:

Don’t kid yourself guys. In the context of dungeons as discussed here, Guild WARS 2 only need one thing – dps. Support build, healing build, all those nonsense has no place in a dungeon in gw2.

edited to add that, if you bring a support, healing or one of those nonsensical build into my team you’re getting kicked. no offence.

And there you have it,the dungeon community in a nutshell.

Taken outside our keep… It was done as a lark. But then people started building them..

ErlendR.6107:

Try 6,7,8,9,0 = Q,E,R,T,C
Im sure you will get an awesome match in T8 if SF go to T7 . Glicko doesnt work in T8.

I personally use:
Dodge=Mouse5
6=Mouse4
7=Q
8=E
9=R
0=Shift+R (popping such a long cooldown spell should rightfully require more deliberation)

I wish I had a better solution for relocating my F1-F4, but WASD is so ingrained in my mind from years of FPS gaming that switching to ESDF for an extra column of functionality would require an inordinate amount of time to get used to.

I moved f1-f4 to z,x,c&v ..

BurnWeed.5902:

The forums are not always a true indication of the majority of players.
Send Everyone an in game mail asking One Simple Question:
Ascalonian catacombs , More enjoyable pre-change Or post-change?
When the result is post-change then i will believe that i am in a minority- until then i firmly believe i feel, as do the majority of players.

I know 3 people in my guild that will answer quite simply, they don’t know.

why? because they won’t do dungeons anymore. One evening of frustration, and they consider dungeons a no go, same with fractals.

I don’t know if this is working as designed, having people not experience content. But if that’s Anet’s goal, it’s working great. AC level of difficulty as a introductory dungeon is kitten Full on kitten

does using a mystic forge stone as the 4th item increase odds at all?

“Cliff” is the profession:
Ground is profession’s primary weapon
Shallow water their secondary weapon
Gravity is their elite skill.

It’s a known fact Cliff’s xploits their elite skills to get around it’s downtime.

agreed, needs fixed…

Eggduff.3429:

I do not find it normal that people like Toxic, or me, fail ten times in a row and that with a different team each time. This is a level 30, 35 dungeon, it is not supposed to be that hard. Also, anyone should be able to do this with any build they have! This dungeon, in particular, should be some kind of introduction to dungeons, not be classed in the hardest.
It was just fine the way it was before. A few tweeks here and there would have made it perfect. Something like giving a troll lightning abilities is over the edge. I find that if you are a level 30 or 35, get a group of people and head to a level 80 area. It should be a little easier.

I absoluetely agree with this post.This is most people’s first experience with a dungeon. I’ve people in group cussing, not in the “fun haha cussing because this is tough” kind of way, but the “I’m kitten and I’d rather shove razor blades under my fingernails ‘cause that’s more enjoyable” kind of way. AC should be an introduction to dungeons in GW2, not a measure in frustration.

I

dungeons aren’t fun for me. They are varying levels of frustration. I can honestly say, I don’t understand how anyone can enjoy the mechanics of the them.

All I see are people either exploiting, getting one shotted or doing the one method to defeat the encounter. How is that good game design?

I love just about everything in gw2: wvw, pvp, pve, the event systems.. But dungeons and fractals are almost like a completely different game. First time I did a fractal, i was where is the fun in this?

shrug Maybe i’ll memorize the correct patterns/places to stand then it’ll be fun for me too.

Finds dungeons in this game to be completely unenjoyable.

They shouldn’t be called dungeons, they shoudl be call “stand in safe places”. Or figure out the only mechanic.

Thanks. I typed “Thx!” but “Thx!” was too short of answer, so i wrote more about thanking you.

2 Identical exotic orrian tridents including the same sigil of night… Oh JOY.

What are the odds of that? with all the permeation of weapons and sigils armor and runes….

Temporal Enchanter: Glamour skills last longer.

Does anyone happen to have a % value for “longer”? Did a search here in the forums and didn’t see any topics on it.

wiki: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Temporal_Enchanter

2 things

1) makes risen xxxxx part of the xxxxx genus., not part of the risen genus., same with icebroods etc. That way when you kill a Risen pig it counts a pig and not a risen for kills.

2) Fire myself, so i could play more.

Ideally to me, there should be 20 dailies, and of those you need to accomplish say 5 or 6 of them. So you game for an hour (or whatever) , check your list of 20 things see that 3 or 4 are completed and then look at the remaining list to see what you can do to finish off your daily. That way it happens in the background for the most part, and doesn’t pigeon hole anyone.

I’m glad you were able to purchase, but sorry for the inconvenience. This sounds like something I should point out to the folks who work on the UI. Thanks for your understanding.

When I use paypal, I have to click on the 2nd address line (which i don’t use,as I live at a street address no appt#) to get the paypal button enabled. It’s like the form requires an entry in ever cell, even though not everyone needs to use every cell.

My first char, was a mesmer to 80, and then i leveled a warrior to 80 and now have a ele to 70ish… plus other char bu those are the main three.

I didn’t fully appreciate/understand what my mesmer was doing/capable of till this last week when i pulled him out and dusted him off. I liked playing him, but I really really didn’t understand what versatility he brings either solo on in a group, till I had played the other characters. Now i’m like… ohhhh shiny.
