Guild Wars 2

We beat it pretty consistently in Tarnished Coast. Haven’t been in a group that did it under 6 minutes yet though.

I was actually looking around for a topic regarding this to post a suggestion as well. But you nailed exactly what I was going to suggest.

Even if ANet wanted to be anal with it similar to the tax on the TP they could charge a service fee for banking Karma. All we need is a way to get Karma to/from alts when we play them. I started leveling a new alt and realized it was completely pointless as it in no way would effect my account.

He wouldn’t make good gold until he hit higher levels – with tons of DR in between that time. So he wouldn’t be able to help out with money until 80 – plus once he hits 80 he’ll share the same DR time as my main.
He wouldn’t be able to give my main Karma (For legendary mats ofc).

Everytime I load up my character select screen and see my alts, I get that crappy feeling you get when you have to get up for work in the morning, before selecting one. Playing alts is not even enjoyable for me. I even wanted to make my alt (Guardian) my main but it just seems pointless to progress a new character when everything I have on my 80 warrior is stuck on my 80 warrior.

TL;DR: Banking/Account Bound Karma would be nice

In terms of east to play you two choices are Warrior and Ranger. Which is good because they are interchangeable.

If you want to do good up close and personal consistent damage and moderate ranged damage, roll a Warrior.

If you want to do good ranged consistent damage and moderate up close and personal damage, roll a ranger.

;)

Yeah what I’ve noticed is people usually sit and wait for Grenth, Fiya (I think that’s her name), and Arah to come up and TP there to drop some AoE on the mobs. I ended up joining in on these because it seems to be the only reason to stay in Cursed Shore since there’s like 3 bugged skillpoints there that I can’t get to finish completion.

Yeah my group gave up on doing HoW because of this issue.

Ascalonian Tears are probably not so tedious to get for the Armor/Weps. They are probably more tedious for the fact that you can buy a Gift of Ascalon with them for 500 Tears. This is a piece of crafting components for the Legendary Weapons Sunrise and Twilight. As a matter of fact, I’m sure all dungeons give currency that could be use to buy Legendary crafting components.

Meh, I felt the same way as most of you a little bit ago.

Then I crafted a full set of Berserker’s Draconic armor, and a Mystic Claymore (Still have a decent Exotic Longbow as well).

And without my accessories even being specced for DPS my group and I can burst through most dungeons (Granted we do have 1 person playing support most of the time-usually our necro).

Did 2 runs of CM Story yesterday with 2 different groups and pretty much everything in there died like it was no big deal. Did a run of CM Explore and it was the same deal on the Asura path. There were a few parts where I was nerfed into using my bow so we went a little slow however. The only other part that was frustrating was the boss that drops bombs and has his goon squad up top of the barnkittenyour party. We ended up just having our Engi slowly kill him from range with bombs an spawned a mortar for us to use as well. We all just boon’d him up and the boss went down in 15 minutes. I’d like to say the whole Explore run took about an hour and a half. These dungeons are 100x easier when you have a group of 5 level 80s decked out in 80 exotic gear.

I was trying to post this directly on your thread, but the character count is too low to fit it all.

I went ahead and layed out all classes (and races) support skills. Hopefully this helps the dildos that think that all classes are able to support in an equal fashion shut their mouths. Some classes clearly have better utilities than others when it comes to supporting, that’s the natural way any game is. Even if ANet was trying to steer away from it, a trinity like system will still exist, and it will still work.

“Unfortunately, not much information is available on Legendary weapons and how to craft them.

Miyani, standing next to the Mystic Forge in Lion’s Arch, sells recipes for various gifts that are used to craft legendary weapons (such as Gift of Wood and Gift of Nature, which are both used to create the legendary longbow Kudzu). Miyani also sells 200 Skill Point Bloodstone Shards, 50 Point Eldritch Scrolls, and a few other items for forging.

The exact recipe for legendary weapons is currently unknown, but a lot of work is being put into discovering it currently. It is known that it requires a lot more than what was first thought to be the recipe (two gifts, exotic base weapon, and bloodstone shard). Two of the four ingredients for the final legendary weapon have been confirmed, and those are the respective exotic base weapon, and an item (name unknown) created from: Gift of Exploration (100% world completion), Gift of Battle (500 Badges from WvW), Bloodstone Shard (200 skill points), and 250 Obsidian Shards (bought for 2100 karma from a vendor on Orr). The other two components have yet to be discovered."

This from the wiki, explains that the Gift of Exploration is used in the crafting of an Unknown item that is used to craft a legendary weapon.

I’m pretty sure the order armor is soulbound and you can only get the armor of the order you join.

So…I’ve put this off for about a week now since the problem arose…should I just finish the story and pray I don’t get screwed or get reimbursed if I do get screwed?

I would like to finish the story sometime soon…but not if I’m getting trash as a reward.

So there’s a lot of mixed answers in this thread. Is the script enforced against mob types or all mobs in general?

LordShade.8143:

is Faolain suppose to teleport down to try and res the illusion? or does she do it from long range? cause I failed my last run a few hours ago purely because she never came down from her little verandah and did some long range res rubbish no matter where we killed the illusions. We tried over 10 times to get her to come down but she never budged. Seems kinda silly if she wasn’t suppose to come down and was suppose to resurrect illusions from long range..

It must have been bugged because she should teleport down and try to res them.

My group had 1 person (My warrior) run through with invuln, stomp to seperate them, and kite Ryto and Logan to the back as everyone else dropped Eir. Repeated the process, moving on to Rytlock next because his bleeds were killing all the lower level kids with us. Saved Zojja for last because she was pretty useless.

You’ll probably wipe a few times your first few tries, but after your whole group understands the plan, what each of the enemies will do, and when to turn on Faolin you’ll get passed it.

Like it’s been said above, the targeting system is ingenious here! Use it!

P.S. – Eir’s 1 shot nuke hax is still bullcrap!

Actually, a friend of mine looted a Corrupted Lodestone from one of the mobs in Frostgorge Sound. We were doing the event up near hotw where you have to rescue the castaway kodans and he got it randomly after looting one of the mobs we were killing.

I would imagine if Corrupted Lodestone’s have the ability to drop, the others would as well as all of them are used in the creation of legendary weapons. However, I cannot 100% confirm that the others can be collected from drops since this is the only one I’ve seen get picked up from a drop.

I agree. I’d suggest dropping this in a suggestion thread once ANet opens up one of those forums

Acerac.6428:

Why does it reset if you change zones? That is absolutely absurd…

It’s actually not as big a deal as it seems it would be. 100k XP blows by fast in the higher level zones. After 80, grinding events and farming mobs (currently doing trolls) gains me well over 100k quickly.

Another cheap way to do it is to save up a ton of crafting materials, grab a crafting booster (you might not even need it) and level up your craft. Crafting can give tons of experience if you do it correctly and efficiently.

So far all I’ve seen for IP tracking is the history tab. This only shows collective gain however, aside from consumables that give your guild IP.

Assuming you are the Guild Master:

To edit ranks, go to the “Roster” tab and right click on their actual rank image. You should be able to choose a rank from there.

To kick someone from the guild, right click their name and select “Kick from guild”

To edit the MOTD, on the main guild page click “Edit MOTD” (I believe that’s what it says) in the top right corner.

I’m still figuring out the Represent issue as well. I’ve had that problem when creating Alt accounts myself and have randomly tried throughout leveling and it worked eventually.

If these are not working for you, then the Guild Menu may be bugged and you should report it.

Progress on Experience Survivor is reset whenever the player disconnects, teleports to a new zone, or dies (downed state does not count as death).

I was farming trolls with a group of people the other day and ran across a group of 3 botters in the area. Description of the bot I saw (And probably what will be most common):

All 3 were rangers, using bows and shooting from incredible range (I even stood next to one and tried to shoot what he was shooting and couldn’t hit).
After whatever they are aiming at dies, they instantly teleport to the body (I’m guessing to loot).
A few seconds after teleporting they are in a sort of standby mode (I’m guessing so the bot can process the loot).
Rinse and repeat!

We managed to grab a Fraps recording and someone reported it. Hopefully that is enough to get them banned since it’s pretty obvious, especially when you see 3 people doing the exact same thing at the exact same time.

Dungeons so far have been the only things in the game that I have scratched my head at so far. After finally finishing Arah last night with a few guildies I’ve come to the conclusion that ANet might be tied with Riot Games (Creator’s of LoL) in creating that one idea that screws everything. When the 5 of us were getting tossed around by Krait, poisoned by Hylek and the dragon’s AOE (Which covers the whole ship’s deck btw), I thought to myself: This is the equivalent to the release of Darius on LoL. End dungeon rant, now to my question that may help me get passed my frustrations with dungeons.

Can you think of any classes that are best for dungeon? I’m talking classes that you’ve grouped with and were able to blow through dungeons like it’s nothing. So far what I’ve noticed (And it’s mind boggling because this was supposed to not exist) is that classes that have the tanking/aggro abilities work best in the group. Every instance I’ve done with a Guardian has been a cake walk. A Necro I did AC with provided the rest of the group the chance to dps the Ascalonians down pretty easy with pet aggro. A few thiefs I’ve played with have done a lot of kiting/dodging to pull aggro and allow our group to dps the mobs down. So all of these support/tank roles were not intended to be in the game, yet from what I’ve noticed they are the best to have in a group. I’ve also done a dungeon with a 3 warrior 1 thief 1 engi setup and it was incredibly difficult.

If I wanted to role another character (I’m currently a warrior) what class would you suggest I role solely to support my guildies in PvE situations like dungeons and big events.

Assuming you are a Human (Since you are in Queensdale at lvl 10) your closest Trading Post should be in your Capital City of Divinity’s Reach.

On that map just below the middle area (Dwayna High Road) are two slightly bigger than normal gold icons. The gold one on the left with that looks like a scale is the icon for the Trading Post.
