Guild Wars 2

Or say:

Casual T4’s, 2hr run YAY.

Aomine.5012:

Lol, I’m running Monk rune and sigil of concentration for my fractal Druid, and ofc I’d have lower dps. I put effort into gearing, yet people are going to accuse me for not contributing enough because dps meter says so despite getting all the permanent boons uptime (protection/ fury/ might/swiftness/regen)and dps buff and heal and cc?

This is not an organized composition, so I can’t run the highest dps possible and still maintain a successful group layout, so I try to be more supportive and sacrifice some of my dps so the team can be more well balanced despite the composition, yet people are going to use dps meter to accuse my performance and said they’re carrying me?

No, healing is fine. Anyone with a brain will notice you’re healing and leave you be, assuming you are a good healer. But if you’re coming in T4’s with your longbow sword/dagger valk armor and claiming you’re dps? That’s when there is a major problem.

Just like Chrono is fine as well.

Both low dps, but you contribute by buffing and support.

It’s closest, rapid hits and dps for a lot of mobs in fracs. I have aggro almost always on my condi daredevil. It’s annoying. u.u

I mean, you just proved my point too.

And 5 mins? More like another 20-30 mins if the group comp is just awful.

Listen, when I do T4’s I make sure I’m well prepared. I don’t want to waste peoples time because that is rude. Why is that such a hard concept for people to grasp? People are just plain lazy and don’t want to put any effort into anything and just expect people to deal with their selfish entitled behavior.

It’s like if you slept your way through college and they kick you out you’ll say WOW ROOOOOD? Why do people expect to get rewarded for sloppy inconsiderate behavior?

Like I said, I rarely kick someone, I’ll just leave and get a different group it’s that simple.

So I should just let a longbow “dps” druid/ranger in the party who offers 0 dps and gets carried for basically free loot while everyone else picks up the slack?

I see this THE MOST and I will usually leave the party. It’s a gigantic waste of time. T4 fracs should not take more than 20 mins. Adjust, stop being lazy, or get kicked. You can argue that that is rude, but honestly people coming in with their snowflake builds contributing nothing and getting carried is the problem and rude in itself.

Yah I saw this change and my heart sunk.

Had a thief on D/D specifically for this trait. I don’t really have desire to play D/D anymore now, I mean that desire has been slim for a long time, but now I won’t bother for the time being I guess. Oh well, I will donate his armor to a different thief.

I will miss popping sigs and assassinating someone, was risky but fun c":

Just was stuck at last boss with it seemingly bugged every attempt, Ark would be doing 2-3 phases at the same time. Don’t know if this is a big due to slow/fast dps pushing phases.

Example:

Orb phase with towers, then anomaly would spawn during forcing us to break Ark and also kill anomaly, after that the burn phase wouldn’t even happen and it would go back to him attacking with orbs everywhere still. Was all going off at once.

Um no, there are other sets that use pistol as offhand that would suffer indirectly from this.

Not everyone plays d/p

SOFT MOUSE

Anyway, they could just add striking back to traps. Would solve the issue without nerfing other aspects of thief or trapper runes.

If they do that though, they might want to look into changing traps a bit because they are all kinda meh.

Happy Holidays c":

Make it arc like cluster bomb to rip people off walls c":

I wanted gs, to be a ninja :’c

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

You didn’t craft the precursor: you bought it or got it as a lucky drop. The people getting the chromatic ooze did a massive scavenger hunt and you have the option to do that, too.

I think it’s reasonable to ask why every precursor collection lacks a similar keepsake, but I don’t think it’s reasonable to ask to be given the keepsake to those of us (including myself) who didn’t go through the collection.

And I said I loved doing the collection parts for HOPE and Im currently on Part III of new shortbow. But my problem is we would have to also do Part II which is a huge gold sink for people who ALREADY paid the gold needed the first time. That’s what is unreasonable.

We paid the gold needed, it’s unfair to penalize people who obtained legendary weapons the old way. If I had known they would rework the system and add bonus items I would have waited and crafted and scavenger hunted for every single one of my legendary, because I LIKE the new system.

All I am saying is its unreasonable to ask people to throw more gold for an item we already paid 2-3k gold already making.

I don’t understand this, I’ve spent over 10 thousands of gold making 12+ legendary weapons before the crafting/collection quests. Why should I have to spend even MORE gold to craft a weapon I already have to obtain new bonus items?

I just want to be clear in saying, Ive also made HOPE with the new system and loved the collection parts. Its just Part II with the massive gold sink in each legendary crafting that makes me never want to do these quests for weapons I already have. Ive already spent that gold on making the legendary from before.

Theres no point in crafting 2 Juggernauts, and I would really love to have the Mystic Chromatic Ooze item for my account as I spent over 2k gold in the past to make Juggernaut. How is this fair to veteran people who created so many legendaries before a system we had no idea would happen, and now it give bonus items?

Wat, this was always annoying u.u

Thanks guys! I’ll try out the suggestions

Hello all. Weird timing to ask about S/D thieves. But I’ve been trying to solo camps all day and it seems like my damage output is too low causing me to constantly evade more than actually try to kill directly. I can solo camps fine on my D/P thief and other classes as well. Just having a hard time with it on S/D. Looking for advice from any of you who main a S/D wvw thief, and if the changes has effected this at all.

Thank you!

Looking forward to some fun duels this week!

I forgot to thank Gods on ET for the fun duels we had at the windmill in SF the other night. And also to apologize again for you guys getting ran over by DH. You were cool about it though. =D

Next time we face you I will be looking for you guys! <3

Someone commented earlier about how DH runs away from fights with SF or whatever. But I have had the opposite happen to me. I roam alone a lot in my BL. I have had way more better fights with ET roamers than SF. Almost every SF I see, runs from me. =(

I just want to thank AR for allowing me to run circles around you last night on your borders, distracting you from your camps for our plan of capturing your Bay. =D

Had a good fight with another war around Vale.

I was sad to not spend much time in KN tonight roaming had an interesting fight with a ranger at south camp in the ring. And another one with a warrior from FC, that fight could have went on forever. Lol. I was mainly hanging around DH Bluelake walking yaks and being silly with golems. Good fights out there guys from KN and FC. =D

Speaking of roaming I will be in KN tonight, look for a small female warrior, purple hair and quaggan back pack from DH. Looking forward to some fun fights out there! =D

Had a lot of fun last night around Greenlake in DH borders. Nice fights around there helped break the tedium of running yaks. And the fun fight I had with a thief on the bridge by south camp. Good times!

Were you the female human warrior I fought while on my necro? I really enjoyed that fight if so.

Yup fear my pink Quaggan back pack! =D

I fought a couple necros there, warriors and rangers. All fun fights!

I must say I am really liking the majority of the roamers I find this match.

I have screencaps of the guild that’s repeatedly cheating at Greenlake, reporting them.

celicynd.9420:

Dear Kaineng,

I’m glad you had to resort to zoom hacks in order to try and take Greenlake tower in our BL. It was awesome standing there watching you shooting ACs and hitting places that are impossible to hit without hacking to take out our siege.

(and if anyone doubts that hacks were used, I’ll be glad to show them where the AC was that was hitting the tower, and where the AC was that was being aimed into the middle of the courtyard inside the tower)

Yeah I was running around inside the tower by the supply depot and was getting hit by several ac circles, when there was only ONE ac up on the outside wall. There is no way you can hit inside a tower without zoom hacking.

I won’t condemn a whole server for one group’s actions, but I know the guilds that were there doing it. Good to know you can’t take a tower without resorting to cheating. Good for you!!

Yeah but, if you can’t cast it won’t do much good.

Holy, cannot do anything tonight.

Not even my downed abilities work.

Elite content should be instanced, not open world.

World events = Open world.

Elite World events = still open world

And im saying the 2nd one shouldn’t exist. Elite content belongs in an instance where you have control over who you bring and the content is not leechable, gated by overflows or having immense server lag with 100+ ppl.

And then GW2 will become like every other MMO with class/build/guild exclusion. I can just see it now, nothing but mesmers eles guards and wars in this instance all having to show their ascendeds at the door. I came to GW2 from other games SPECIFICALLY to avoid content exclusion. I’ve had enough of it. There is nothing in this game that is out of reach to me. I can join anything I want without being excluded. This is the game they presented and hope they continue to build toward.

This still isn’t fixed?

World 2 Zone 3 is my favorite to do. The beginning has a few awkward almost blind jumps around corners but after that it’s cake. I’m still running TM everyday. =D

I actually have grown to like all of world 2. Save for a few spots in zone 2 like the bugged checkpoint in spikes, but I do TM everyday and really like it.

So SAB is not dying to me. =D

I can confirm this as it happened to me over the weekend. Luckily the checkpoint right before the boss worked.

I would have been like,

“Oh it must be bugged, go make a forum post about it.”

=D

The one good thing about it is, it keeps you from wasting baubles if you accidentally hit the buttons. You have that safety net there of two button clicks before you actually use a bauble.

I’m at work and cannot get in the game at the moment. Was hoping someone can confirm if this was fixed along with it being updated? I’ve been waiting for months to have my offhand arm covered in ice and see the snowy effect.

For some reason they only show in main hand, not sure why since offhand axe is a choice.

But don’t we need to grind continue coins for TM and whatever else?

It’s like saying,

“Hey! Grinding is mindless, we changed it so you can’t but if you want stuff you have to grind for it!”

Hmm, what particle effect are they supposed to have? Does the elementalist ice bow have an effect? I can’t remember.

This gauntlet, was a really good idea and I love the idea of it.

But the way it was executed and the acknowledgment from the devs on “Not everyone will be able to do it” seems like a complete 180 on the game we have been playing for nearly a year. This game is very casual. Adding elements like this you risk alienating a huge swath of the population that has been able to tackle all aspects of the game since launch with no exclusion. So of course there will be backlash about it.

I know some mini pet collectors and AP accumulators that are very unhappy by excluding them from getting through the gauntlet for these things. So it does effect some of the player base out there, no they aren’t forced but the glaring empty slot of a mini or a ton of AP missed will make people annoyed and angry when it’s not been near the difficulty like this before.

I think content like this will be a tricky thing to add. It does make me wonder what direction GW2 will be heading in the future, I myself hope it remains casual and will not take the route of exclusion found in so many other games.

It’s weird for me.

I bought this game for the simple fact that the whole game is geared toward casual play and no one is excluded from doing anything. Then they add content in fully acknowledging the fact that not everyone will be able to do it. It just doesn’t fit in with the feel of the game it’s been since launch.

I understand challenges are meant to be difficult and the gauntlet is a really good idea. But I just don’t understand why casual players are being punished for playing a game that never excluded them from doing anything, until now. So it doesn’t feel good and leaves a bad taste in their mouth.

On topic though, it’s almost the same thing as Moa racing for the mini. New players wouldn’t have the gold required to try for it. So yeah, not sure how they go about factoring in players that are new, or don’t have much time to play.

I fought my way up through the gauntlet on my usual bleed/aoe build (Sword/Axe), I changed to this build for just Liadri utilizing Rifle to focus on her for the fight in phase two. I switched to S/W for speed and vigor and Savage Leap for emergency. When phase two started I strafed in a clockwise circle near the middle of the dome basically auto attacking her keeping bleeds and cripples on her at all times.

Thank you Kai <3

Sent you a PM =D

[Doll] is a guild that does not tolerate rudeness, class/build exclusion, exploiting, bullying, among other things of bad gaming form. We also do not discriminate against race, religion (or lack thereof), sexual orientation or if you prefer pancakes to waffles.

Now that that is out of the way… =D

~ The Stuffing ~

Currently 4-5 active members.
We like to run dungeons, even the more painful ones! (CoE, Arah)
We also get into WvW on occasion, some more than others. =D
We have not done PvP as a guild yet, should we welcome members interested in this we would happily build teams!

~ Theme and Doll Events ~

Our mascot is the princess doll of Wintersday. By being in Doll you are not required to wear the doll colors, we understand you are unique and have your own design and style. The only time running in traditional Doll colors or illusion would be encouraged is for the sake of visual themes when we run Doll events. We have held Hide and Seek events on various servers in Lion’s Arch awarding gold to clever treasure seekers! We have ideas currently kicking around of upcoming events, maybe you have an idea!

~ So what’s in your Doll House? ~

Well, to be honest, not much. Doll was started in the middle of Wintersday as a silly thing and thus has not flourished as much as the bigger guilds out there. We are working towards unlocking bounties and other great features for our members. We also do not have voice or website at this time, you can say we are under construction, and if there is interest we can look into making things happen.

~ Are we the right kind of stuffing for you? ~

Voice chat- I want to be upfront about this and say we do not prefer voice chat programs to guild chat. While we do agree it can make things easier for those instances where reflex coordination is best, we also do not see it as vital. You will never be forced into voice in Doll. We want guild chat to be active and inclusive. So if you are deaf, introverted, misanthropic or just plainly want to hear what’s going on in your house and not someone shouting “I love TACOS!!” in voice, by all means the door is open!

Atmosphere- We like to keep things at a certain level of cleanliness. Though as a warning later in the evenings we can get a little fired up, but nothing to be deeply concerned about. We consider ourselves family friendly and would like to keep things that way. Our age ranges from early 20’s to mid 30’s. We are laid back, no pressure and easy going.

Rep- We do not require 100% rep, we only ask if you run dungeons, events or wvw together with us we would gladly love to see you with the other Dolls. =D

Fine print

We are a mix of EST and Alaska time zones currently, most active during evening hours. 6pm-2am EST. Weekend play you can be sure to see us!

Home server is Darkhaven, we do not require you to be, we can do everything together except wvw, so if that works for you by all means! We are looking to gather a small force of maybe 15-20 players. We do not desire to be a big guild.

If you think WE are a good fit for YOU, PM me here on the forums, send an in-game mail or whisper me – I am always available to chat! Let’s make you into a Doll! =D

I just move away because I don’t dance. That’s all, nothing to do with time.

I bought quite a nice amount of these as the regular coffers have no description on recipes within. If it’s all just bad luck that is fine, but I cannot find a source that the recipes exist at all. The description on the boxes in the gem store specifically states that there are recipes inside.

Can anyone confirm?

Here is a picture of the description.

No idea what recipes they were supposed to hold. But the description on the coffers in the gem store say recipes. I don’t much care for the skins or whatever I bought the coffers for recipes, but it looks like it could have been a waste of money, as recipes aren’t even in them.

I opened a good amount of rich coffers for a chance of getting the recipes. But I have not found anyone that received any of the recipes. Is the description on the coffers an error or are they in at an extremely low chance?

Does anyone know? Sorry if this has been answered before I tried searching for the answer but couldn’t find any results.

I love this helmet. On human females though it’s a bit weird as it obstructs your eyes. I saw it on a male Norn and you could see his eyes fine.
