Guild Wars 2

Really nice job.

Just curious though, you seem to be lacking some in gear. Was this also a part of the playthrough?

What about male cloth armor?

I swear I got into main server once on Deso, and I’ve been here since the start

The thing with interface not loading properly has nothing with your ISP to do at all. And nothing with your computer. I know plenty of people who has this problem, and we all have had the same computer and same ISP since start. These loading screen + interface problems occurred some months back, and everyone got same trouble around the same time. It’s the game, nothing else.

• Make content playable on lower spec CPU’s. FPS matters.

GW2 maxes out high-end cpu’s in areas with a lot of activity. The only thing you can do about that is lower your settings.

There’s nothing lower than lowest.

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

Everyone else was struggling to platform kegs across the shallow water, while the game was running like a slide show.

Not to forget, if you get in combat trying to carry those kegs, you gonna fall in the water. How can you possibly not get in combat during such a messy fight?

@Pixelpumpkin
That pretty much sums it up.

I didn’t notice the red arrow until there was max 2 min left of the fight. Before that I heard people yell about an arrow, what arrow? And then i see it, hiding behind mobs and particle effects and red circles.

This needs to be a bit better/fixed for lower end computers, I also run on lowest graphics. Especially for zerg fests.

Maybe make that red arrow appear as some dot on the map? Just something like that would be a ton better.

I got 1366×768, you’d cringe :P

Good job guys!

Yeah, no. I totally like all the bosses we have except for Tequatl and the 2 current ones.

Main problem is:
Overflows.
I did join my server for a reason, and I want to do zerg content with them, not with people on overflows.

When Tequatl came out I was so frustrated, I finished achievements but nothing else, never again. And then these bosses came out and I’m constantly stuck in overflows, waiting over an hour for a boss to spawn, only to fail because most people in overflows just arrived and don’t know what to do.

You can’t go around as say “join party from your guild”.
- Maybe there is no guild.
- Maybe they don’t care?
- Joining hardly works when the main server is full.
- It’s bothersome.

Once again, same as Tequatl patch. The bosses are good. The overflows are the problem, and yet, they still have not been fixed. Why not fix them before handing out more bosses.

- Stop playing necro.
- Play an other class.
- Play an other game because necro was the best class for me. If we can’t have conditions or power, then it’s over.

Just something simple I did, could not find proper shoes though. Pretty sure all is from karma, except sylvari racial shoes.

This is the gear with xmas-y dyes.

Ascended and legendary is not enough stat increase for people to actually not party up with people who don’t have it.

It’s still new, given the zerker only listings in LFG I won’t be surprised if it goes ascended zerker only in a month or two.

Yes, but then again, those people are just being silly. Just because all they want is to force through content, good for them. Better just ignore them and start your own group.

There will be plenty of people without ascended gear, and they will do equally fine without them. It isn’t the game itself being unfair, it’s the player.

There is no way Gw2 is pay to win. Instant repair canisters and revival orbs? Are you kidding me? The PvE isn’t so hard that you will actually ever need need these.

Crafting boosters, magic find etc? No, they are not P2W. Oh sure they give some benefit, but not for long and you have to work for it. Content of crafting + loot is easy, it’s not like these boosters do much for it.

Gems being expensive isn’t P2W. Of course it will rise in price, but it’s not like gems can buy us anything special that will improve our damage and alike.

P2W is when you can literally buy damage. The higher your damage is, the more people will want you. If you don’t have any damage increase, no one will take you. This forces players to BUY to WIN.

In Gw2 you can buy stuff for gems, or spend time grinding, for what now? Hardly anything at all. Yes, new players don’t have much gold but its easy to get the gold to get those items needed.
Ascended and legendary is not enough stat increase for people to actually not party up with people who don’t have it.

If anyone actually played a P2W, then you would know what a real life money sink it is. Gw2 might be in game gold money sink, but that’s how games work. You can’t expect to get everything for almost nothing, some items require work to get and this is fine. As long as it does not progress further than these ascended and legendaries, we will be ok.

I usually run with either lich or golem. As states, golem is good for taking down objects, knockdown and doing some good dmg. On the other hand, in situations where there is a lot of aoe, or you need to be careful not to accidentally attack something, just run with lich. Golem dies quickly so you have to think about the boss, will it die fast? Most likely. Go with lich then.

They really do need to make more changes split between pvp/wvw/pve. You can’t change one thing totally because it’s overpowered in pvp or wvw, that would be nerfing certain aspects of pve, maybe something we needed in pve. I’m glad they have done so recently, but more of it, and for all classes is optimal.

My necro got face nr 9. It is so adorable.

Can’t find good screenshot, but along with black pony tails and white eyes, big black pupils, looks a lot different from usual sylvaris.

Which items are you using on the 5th pic?

Really great looks btw

5th from the top is: krytan coat, viper pants, magitech shoes (all gemstore).

Expensive, but cool. Thanks.

Copy pastaing a bit. Just posting in case you’re curious.

1st EU silver league:

-1 Mini Dolyak
-1 Taste of Liquid World Experience
-100 Dragonite Ore
-100 Empyreal Fragments
- 5 Scrolls of Knowledge
- 10 Tomes of Knowledge
- 1 Essence of Luck (500 one)
- 1 Exo, bow
- 4 Rares
- 8 Greens

Also;
- Limited-Use Silver Dolyak Finisher (250 charges)

Honestly though, loot was ok. I didn’t expect too much. But I heard about some people who got 3 exotics, and someone who got precursor. Also people seem to have gotten different amount of rares. Let’s say if amount of exotics and rares were equal throughout, it would have been really good. Other than that, it was ok.

Does anyone know, or can send link how Kasmeer’s staff look with a necromancer. Since we have such a special animation on spectral grasp I am unsure of how it will look. Was searching for quite some time and couldn’t find anything about it.

I really adore the skin, and would like to see how it looks like for us.

This might be out of context and not for this topic, but did anyone mention adding a blast for axe 3? It is a blasting animation, and good for people who don’t run MM to have 1 more blast.

Oh yeah, this happened to me too during a WvW encounter. I think someone else in my party also couldn’t. It’s fine now, but I have no idea what happened then.

Trahearne was in a regular chamber for me, not the last one. Just giving a heads up.

Haha, it was my first time trying those mini dungeons yesterday, and we got Trahearne once. It felt really good to beat him up.

Well, so what? Now you don’t need to feel like a big slow clump.

I like having norns short, because in my opinion they feel way too large. And norn females are so much prettier than humans.

Ah, I see, didn’t know about that. Thank you very much

So, some new people in my guild can’t access the 10% magic find boost that goes throughout the guild.

I don’t know what the problem is, is it their ranks, server or do they have to be in the guild for a certain time period to be able to receive it? Just that it would be great to know, was checking around and found no information about this matter.

Nay of the Ether.8913:

except the clockwork tree
maybe it’s cause I didnt have the Magic 3 in my group…idk. But that boss seemed to be nothing more than a dodge fest.

Appappapp! Necro is very important there. You use spectral grasp and pull mobs to the boss. Along with Thief no one needs to kite it around, instead stand and melee/dodge. As long as you don’t accidentally fear mobs away, it will be perfect.

Good tips, but many people do it slightly differently.

2 Oozes: Turning off auto-attack is the best thing here really, I do it every time and it helps immensely. I’m not sure how well blind works, but use it as long as it’s not in risk of damaging the ooze.

Sparki and Slick: Maybe it is better for pugs to kill slick first, considering coordination with Ooze might be harder without voice chat. But if you’re low on dps Sparki is easier to kill first, but you have to be very vary of the oil.

Clockheart: If 2 people have pulls, keep boss in one spot and damage him. Melee range, dodge when he does his attacks and revive allies if fallen. 1 should start pulling hologram as far as possible, then the 2nd puller takes it last of the way to the boss. If you have fears, DON’T use them, same with knockdowns and other things that pushes mob away. If you are coordinated though, and know what you are doing, you can knock, fear, push, hologram towards the boss. But only if it’s needed.

Edit: I know this topic is meant for pugs. But you can coordinate pulling etc if people do know what they are doing.

Oh, yes. I noticed this too. Most of my party saying it was “laggy” because of fps drop. Happened to me too.

I hate Anet’s philosophy to make encounters frustrating and annoying instead of difficult. Why can’t we have difficult and fun instead of frustrating and not fun?

When you learn how to play the content, it’s not frustrating or difficult.

It will be if you’re low on dps. Everything went fine with regular amount of dps or more, but if one player is below average, it will be hard during the 1st boss. (hard then on not kitten, come on)

Had a bug with ooze getting stuck sucking the same oil, but nothing happened. It just stood there, showing animation but doing nothing for minutes.

Oh, please let us be able to dye accessories! It feels so dependent on guessing what dye you will like the best when you choose it, and using a kit for just changing dye on that is not worth it. It would make a lot of people happy.

It worked really bad the first time, I guess we hadn’t learned tactics. Ran it again yesterday it was lovely. Went super smooth except for me accidentally using a fear to the wrong direction on last boss and making us wipe.. woops!
We are not a regular party for sure, this last run was 1 warrior, 1 necro, 1 ranger, 1 thief, 1 mesmer. This dungeon seems to work fine without being the perfect 5. Thief + necro is good on last boss to really pull mobs to it.

spoj.9672:

That doesnt give you the effect though. Read up ^

I’m not sure about all of them. But it worked perfectly fine for area stealth.

The staff blast finisher doesn’t need an enemy to trigger it. I have blasted out of combat, no mob close by.

I actually never liked her. I swear i thought she was evil.
…She did “Give birth” to some evil sylvari masterminds though.

I don’t know if you have it or not, and I don’t know how it suits. But the Southsun flower back item is really nice looking.

6/10 – I’m sure it sounds better for most people than me. It does have a nice sound to it, but there’s something off with me, sorry.

Mine is also Necromancer, Xnvy, not really sylvari-ish name though.

Thank you very much, I thought this was how it worked also. But I really wanted to be 100% sure. Cheers!

When you get a self-styling hair kit. How does it work when you use it?

Ie, when you use it, can you check hairstyles on all your characters before deciding to use it on one of them?

Phoebe Poison.4875:

I’m very happy with the final dye effect of the first set, after several tries, and every owner of Profane armor should know what I mean

I really adore how you fixed the 1st set with the profane armor. It looks awesome.

Oh yes! The horror when you have an accessory completely different color from the color of your gear.

I delete them when they’re hopefully not higher than lvl 20 (I’m such a lazy leveler) if their appearance bores me, I want to try a new class, or their names are bad, or doesn’t get played at all.

I deleted a lot of alts, so, so far I’ve only got a lvl 80, 40 and a 22.

Epidemic is usually very useful as underwater skill, as it is regularly.

Heinel.6548:

LordByron.8369:

what if the real issue is warrior dps and guardian support? rather than people kicking multiple rangers and necros?

Or necros need to start looking at utility skills and not just spam staff 1?

Staff 1 isn’t even good enough to be spammed unless there are multiple mobs in a row. What makes you think they only spam that one?

There used to be 3 paths. They removed one right? Not sure if the lvl 80 exp. counts towards achievement or not.

Bweaty.9187:

Deathwish & Final Rest are nice necro feeling staff’s.

Don’t forget the Pact Quarterstaff. It’s also really nice.

Well that would be Envy. But of course it was taken. So I named mine Xnvy. Which I honestly think is better and much more evil.

Well, this is my necro. Gear acquired from a bit of everywhere.

Edit: Crap, that picture was huge. Can’t fix it at the moment though, sorry.
