Guild Wars 2

Why the hatred for cond necro?

My main is cond necro in Rabid armor and Rune of the Undead and I have no problems getting groups for dungeons when farming and am doing good dmg with guild group when running fractals + high survive meaning no downtime to get rezzed, regen etc.

Sure, not getting into them “We only want warriors blah blah blah” groups, but kitten that, I don’t need the extreme speed runs.

I mainly run fractals as the other dungeons doesn’t interest me (except CoF for empyreal farm now that my alts need ascended as well) so my knowledge in “normal” dungeons are limited.

So will only comment fractals.

Aden Celeste.3650:

• Dredge fractal:
This fractal needs some SERIOUS adjustments. Way too many dredges with incredible respawn times. Most people just hate it and cheat it for a reason.

I actually enjoy that fractal, lots of loot and AE fun

Aden Celeste.3650:

• Uncategorized Fractal:
Those irritating harpies are just unfair: You can’t shoot them from far, they become invulnerable easily, and the fractal only favors certain classes that can reflect projectiles. Fix the harpies and reduce the amount of knock-backs they can dish out and this fractal will be fine.

Most groups go with a guardian, with stability and reflect wall this is fairly easy. (And we used to hate this one in our group, but now we are flying through it. Key being move together, hug the mob, be ready with reflect/stability)

Aden Celeste.3650:

• Volcanic Fractal:
This fractal has some strange videos popping in that can kill a player when the rocks start to slide down the volcano, plus the shamans have been a little too fast lately, even ignoring cc and knock backs lately. Plus, throwing the rocks at the Champion Shamman have a weird issue where they don’t hit the target and fall close to the edge of the little hill where it is at.

Video at start of rockslide is annoying. They do need to remove that video. Correct me on the speedy shamans, but isn’t that when you reach higher fractals? I notice a difference between 20 and 30 fracts on their speed, in which case it is logical so that the boss actually becomes a bit harder the higher level you go.

Aden Celeste.3650:

• Cliffside Fractal:
Most of it is really good except that the final two seals on the top can become hectic really fast because of the spawn rate of the mobs protecting the seals. Maybe just a tad bit of balance here can allow this fractal to be near perfect.

Again, tactic, leave one alive on one side and that one is fairly easy.

The thing that bugs me on that is that the event doesn’t reset properly, so that IF you fail, you may as well leave as it is more or less impossible to do it when both sides keep spawning.

Now, above being said from my perspective which is that I very seldom (never) pug, always playing with the same crowd from guild, with voice chat which makes any gaming easier.

Running a 30 fract now and it seems to be same difficulty as before the patch, so either we had a kitten day yesterday or maybe Sacrai was right and wvwvw bonuses didn’t apply yesterday.

Sacrai.6280:

As they have hugely messed up the WvW yesterday, I wouldn’t be surprised if you lost the WvW benefits in the meantime. Those make a difference. Anyone could back up that theory with more knowledge about this?

EDIT: Adding link to the wiki page for further reference.

That would make sense. Cheers!

Small tip from my side, be honest about being new to a dungeon.

If you use gw2lfg, mention in the notes that you are new to the dungeon in question.

I have no problems explaining tactics, skill requirements etc if the person explained that he/she are new to the dungeon, but I get very frustrated if a person keeps dying but do not ask any question or listen to instructions.

Just curious if FoTM were buffed in yesterday patch.

Guildmates and myself went to do our level 30 daily as usual, something that never caused any problems before but yesterday we not only wiped (and had to restart our run due to reset bug) twice on Cliffside Fractal due to the trashmobs seemingly hitting harder but actually gave up as it was fairly late, something that never happened before.

Also felt like Mossman hit alot harder than usual, same with Bloomhunger.

It may just be us having a kittenty evening, but it felt like the mobs were harder in general?

Anyone else experienced this, or was it just us being crappy this evening?

Thanks.

When I look at the ones I crafted (Glob of Elder and Lump of Mithrillium) they come up as account bound?
Checked TP and none there

Edit: I see what you say now, the Spiritwood is purchasable.

After having crafted the first Ascended Weapon, I now realized thakittenwill be 5 days until next one.

So, I though, should I get one (or more) of my other chars to get 500 in the three weapon tradeskills or are the timer account bound?

Anyone knows?

Cheers!

you mean the most easy gold from Pirate farm?

I am not saying I didn’t enjoy the farm, but it wasn’t the most fun, it was just 20+ minutes farm, 20 minutes wait for event to fail (or attack boss if other succeeded the event) then 20 minutes break until next event.

Got 500 Artificer yesterday and realized that the looong looong road to get all items makes me wanna explore other venues as well, so where can ascended weapons drop?

So, we have seen it drop in WvWvW (Not specified from what part)
We have seen it from Champ Bags (after over 1000 opened).

What else?

Can they drop very rare from mobs?

Can they drop from Players in WvWvW?

I assume they can drop from Daily Reward Chest from events, but can they drop from for example Fractal Boss Reward Chest and/or Fractal Daily Chest?

I want completely new skins on legendaries.

As a condition necro I have dressed my necro in Bones skin, green/gray tint (Nurgle Inspired), using sceptre/focus and staff.

I have Gift of Exploration etc but have decided not to pursue either of the above weapons as the graphics does not suit my necro at all.

That being said, I want a legendary in order as I love the idea of having a legendary but the current design would be wrong for me.

Sure, I could get a legendary for my alts (Guard, Thief and Mesmer at 80) but as I play my necro first and foremost I have no desire wasting legendary at them.

Please give us more legendaries with different designs.

Edit: One of the underwater legendary weapons look fairly necro, but how often will yo be sporting that, so not wasting my gifts on that.

My Thief alt took 80 yesterday, still not completed the hatchery and story quest backdated to lvl45.

With my main atleast I could do the story as she leveled up, now I have to do the story for gear I have no need for, in zones that I already have 100% in (done all zones to 100% except wvwvw).

How hard can it be to fix this quest, why wait until content patch to fix this?

Right now, I don’t care anymore as it is too little, too late now that I already am 80.

This is in relation to my previous post: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Ban-non-EU-players-from-EU-servers-and-same-otherway-around

I do understand why people may want to play on the wrong continent’s servers, but it make it impossible to get all the wvwvw poi’s as one server dominates the wvwvw zones.

So, either make it European players only, or remove the wvwvw areas from the map completion requirements.

And this seems to have been implemented now

wohooooo Thanks!

Basically this is the 3rd pairing against Vizunah Square [French] server for Far Shiverpeaks.

Normally I don’t give a kitten who I am fighting as long as there is action, but with for example VS they have canadian players that due to the language (not blaming the players on this, they have no choice languagevise) play on european French servers.

The result of this is that they have the people in France daytime and then a whole new population nighttime (european timezone that is) that caps everything making it more or less impossible for other european servers to compete with a server that fights from two continents.

None liked this idea?

None liked this idea?

With queues as they are where you can wait several hours to get into wvwvw, please allow us to play an alt, queue for wvwvw and when a spot opens up, join with the main char.

I have no interest staring at a wall in Cursed Shore for hours (and after farming a week for my two crafted armorsets and weapons I have no interest running around killing stuff PVE with my main right now either), so let me level up an alt and join wvwvw with my main when a slot opens up.

Pretty please with sugar on the top, this would make my day.

Edit: When the Join popup appears, show a drop-down menu with the available characters, select and join.

Dutak.7346:

I like the idea of having different colours for different sets but I would like a little more control over it. This could work by simply having dye sets that you could change between, this would also allow for just changing the colours if you just want something different for a while as well as when you change armour.

I would be happy either way, as long as it is a fast way switching between colorschemes.

qJake.2813:

I think what would solve this problem easier is having two armorsets that you can switch between (like weapons, and in addition to the town clothing), and with that, two sets of dye for each armor set. It would be a lot easier than trying to have the game remember what color every single piece of armor is in the entire game (plus, if you put on new armor, you would then have to re-dye it anyway, which would annoy the people that are not level 80 yet).

That would work as well.

What I meant was that you can look a certain set, so when you equip that particular set, it “recolors” itself to the colors dyes you have selected, if you then equip a different piece, it reverts back to the colors you had selected “unlocked” so to speak.

The idea that the colors follow between armors are great, I loved it when I lvl’d, however now I have to re-dye every piece of armor depending on what I am doing (yes, I am a fashion-fascist )

Now that I am lvl 80 and have found a nice look for myself which I love I have run into a problem.

Basically when lvling and you switch gear alot, it is nice that the colors are fixed so you don’t have to change the color each time you get a new armor piece.

However as it is now I have two sets of armor, one for wvwvw (exotic tailor condition dmg) and one for PVE/Farm (rare explorer tailor).

The explorer armor I have in one set of colors which works great for that, however when I change to the wvwvw armor I have to recolor it, as the colors I have for the other set looks awful on this set (I want this set to be putrid green/brown while other being Regal and Iris).

So, please let me bind an armor set to a specific set of colors or atleast let me favorite not just the colors itself but the full color scheme.
