Putting my Warrior on the shelf for now I think…had a Rifle Warrior (Full Rampagers, lots of bleed abilities, Big Hits, Big Crits, Big Ticks) but thanks to reshuffling of %Dmg/Crit Traits into Grandmaster Trees can’t really call it viable anymore so putting it out to pasture until someone can come up with a build that works.
Both myself and my girlfriend have been online since 04:00 this morning…it is now 13:00…we have both been representing our guild, and we have cleared 2 full zones, and about 70% of Blazeridge Steppes, completing about 50 events each and yet there is no guild experience registering? Looking at the Guild History Tab, it has not been registering Guild Experience for some time, registering only one person logging in some days, and considering we made 4000 Guild Experience in one day last week, we have missed out on perhaps thousands in guild experience. Is there any way to get this experience back?
Has anyone else noticed this problem?
Just placed a bet on the Moa Races, was waiting for the race to finish and my game disconnected thereby losing my bet…not happy about it. Has anyone else had this same problem? And what can I do about it?
Actually, one of the points above made me think about phantasms vs clones. It’s a bit off thepoint, but how do good mesmers know how to keep phantasms out while maintinaing a rotation of clones? And is there any way to run a Shatter build while maintaining decent phantasm longevity?
Thanks!
Phantasms don’t get overwritten by clones and vice-versa…once you have 3 illusions out, they kind of just stay there doing damage (or not in the case of clones) until your target dies or you detonate them in whichever way you choose…so there’s no real worry about having your iDuelist disappear and a useless clone replace it.
As for a shatter build with phantasm longevity…that is all down to your Phantasm CD and your timing…detonating just before your phantasm is available I suppose and then re-upping them?
EDIT: The ultimate question is:- when a clone is overwritten by the creation of another clone, ie; Scepter Auto-attack part 3 [Ether Clone] – is that classed as the clone dying,? As in; would that mean that an ability which activates on clone death activate when you replace the clone?

UPDATE: It happened again last night!!! The same person who got kicked first time around the last time was kicked AGAIN when we got into the Jade Sea Fractal for the Daily Bonus!!! She screamed on Skype and then rage quit and we haven’t seen or heard from her since…at this rate she’s going to end up going back to WoW and to be honest, who can blame her?
November 15th Patch Notes stated:
“The drop rarity of Rare and Exotic weapons from certain places in the world (champions, veterans, and players in WvW) has been increased. Rares and Exotics should be much more likely to drop and every champion should be guaranteed to drop loot. This was to ensure that world loot drops were not a significantly worse way of acquiring rare and exotic items than crafting and running dungeons.”
So why is it I’ve killed 8 Champions in Cursed Shore in the last 2 hours and only had loot from 1? For half of them I was the one to engage the champion, I didn’t stop shotting it the whole time the group were fighting it, and yet afterwards, even though I get a gold medal for participating in the event and doing enough damage, I get zero loot from them?!?
Okay…so I got 5 people together and entered ‘Fractals of the Mist’ with my party doing level 6. We got the swampland fractal and we did great, wisps first time, oakheart boss down no problem, next came the underwater fractal, we were all dolphins, it was fun, easy boss kill, lots of yellow loot, then we got into the next fractal which was the cliffside colossus, we were doing great, then all of a sudden one of our party gets kicked back to the character select screen?!?
Okay, well if it’s like other dungeons, she should be able to log-in and walk inside right? WRONG!!! She isn’t allowed back into the dungeon so we’re down to 4…great, shouldn’t be too bad, kill the boss, move onto the Jade Sea with the tentacle boss, and during the last fight we get another of our team kicked to character select screen for no reason…well okay, let’s 3-man it…so we do, and it’s dead, and 2 of us are on the floor and the 3rd person gets kicked!!!11!!!eleven!!
Now we’re 2 dead, it resets the boss encounter meaning we can’t do it, we lose out on the chest I could SEE!!! And the daily chest!!! What the hell is wrong with Fractals of the Mists??? Is the server unstable? Is that why it keeps kicking people? And why can’t we come inside if we DC??? You can everywhere else!!! Because that’s another hour wasted with no reward…5 people fractal’d off…and 4 of us are considering checking out WoW’s KungkittenPanda’s because at least the dungeon servers are stable.
I’m sorry but this is nothing new…with almost 150% Magic Find pre-November 15th on my Ranger I was getting nothing, I was clearing whole zones and getting 2-5 blues and greens…I stopped wearing magic find gear and that increased to 15-20 blues/greens an hour. There was suppossed to be some sort of bug related to magic find and condition damage whereby mobs dying from DoTs didn’t calculate magic find properly on death (it’s on the forums somewhere), but now it’s even worse?!?
I spent over an hour last night in Frostgorge Sound killing Veterans and Champion Ice Trolls and they drop the same worthless junk as normal mobs. I killed the Champion Ice Troll 5 times with 3 of us kiting it and killing everything else at the same time, and while my friend was getting the lvl400 crafting mats with no MF gear, I was getting the 300/325 lower level junk with almost 150% MF gear…so seriously, what’s the point in Magic Find? It doesn’t work properly, and with the current drop rates it seems like ArenaNet are punishing hard work and instead letting people rely on chance and luck for anything decent..which is just unfair.
Am seriously considering going back to WoW, at least there the mechanics are consistant and they don’t punish people for grinding the mats they need for high level crafting.

A few concerns about Guild Emblems and Logo creation…
1.) Why do different Guild Emblems and Backgrounds look different in different colours? What I mean by this is; some symbols appear washed out in one colour while bright and vibrant in another colour…but why? I can understand different dyes appearing in a different way on cloth, leather or metal armours, but why on a logo? I wanted to use a specific combination for a Guild Emblem, but the symbol when coloured Abyss appeared as a washed-out grey, and it was the same with some of the backgrounds. How about changing the settings so that colours on Emblems are all as bright and vibrant as it is possible to be? And maybe implement more colours for those who want a less eye-catching design.
2.) Can we have more options for Guild Emblem design please? I see dozens of Asura symbols, dozens more Human and Norn symbols, but finding a logo that would suit a Charr Guild, they are very limited (and before you say: “There are plenty of Charr Pawprints!” please see the first note and then try the colours out on them…they look awful.). How about; seeing as how we have the 3 Asura college logo’s and the 5 Norn Spirit logo’s, putting in the Charr Legion Logo’s? I mean, if we can have the classic White Mantle Logo, how about something more recent or relevant?
But meh…they’re my complaints/suggestions…feel free to post your own or comment…
Okay, I purchased a full set of green Explorer Gear (Power/Precision/Magic Find %) for my Ranger including Accesories, Weapons, Runes and Sigils and food, and went off to Mount Maelstorm. I spent 1 Hour running around killing every living creature that walked or crawled, and in 1 hour I managed to get a handful of whites and 2 green items…to experiment I then went back to Lion’s Arch and switched out to my full Rare Carrion gear (Power/Vitality/Condition Damage) and went back to Mount Maelstorm…in 10 minutes I had twice the amount of greens and blues and materials as I had gathered in an hour…so can someone please explain to me how Magic Find works? Is it actually bugged with Condition Damge deaths? And is there any point in even using the stuff if the mechanic is that bugged? Becuase it just seems like it’s a waste of time and a broken mechanic at the minute!!!
Would LOVE to see this feature brought into the game. I am seeing a lot of people who RP and things change both in-game and in real life and wish to change the name of their character either to match their cirumstance or to change their allegiances , or to break away from people who they have fallen out with and reinvent themselves.
In my guild I am ranked as “Leader” with one other person, while the person who actually started the guild is ranked above me as “Founder” and leaves me and the other person to basically run the guild.
Try this one. At 03.00 GMT the GF and I went into the “Retaking Claw Island” Quest in Lion’s Arch. We spent a good 40-60 minutes in there, going AFK-ish at the end for a while, and when we clicked to leave the event, we were both booted with “Client Disconnect” errors and logged out, only to find we both had Error 42’s. This, a few days after She got kicked with error 42, and I was online still…keeping in mind we’re both on the same network, with 2 PC’s in the same room, but they reckon she has Firewall/Router issues? I don’t think so…Error 42 seems to be code for something Server related.
I was just kicked from game for a build update, and since then I’ve been getting this error message. Not having access to the log-in servers, could it be a traffic issue with so many people trying to get back on?
