Guild Wars 2

Getting Juggernaut crafted. and Levelling 4 more Engineers. When HOT comes Ill have my Hammer Elite spec Engi, my 5 kit Engi, my Flamethrower Engi, My Turreteer and my healsplosion engi. And if theres time An elixir engi, a gadgeteer, a condi grenadier and a static discharge engi. But there probably wont be time.

^^ Elixir X steals Ele and Warrior transform elite, why not Mesmer transform?

Mortar being turned into a Bazooka is the best thing that has ever happened to us.

L2P issue sorry. and I almost never say that. Stab wasnt working, it was a crutch. Now you have to learn to stand on your own two feet, like the classes that have extremely limited access to stability have been doing for 3 years

Does it matter if its adept or master anymore? if you go into Tools to get it, your locked into tools for 6 points.

has this been resolved yet. Would like my bios

theres a search function at the top of your inventory, and the ability to see each bag seperately, for the badly organised. also crests can be used from the bank. no need to carry them round

Speculation, conjecture and paranoia based on more of the same without knowledge of specialisations, new boons and the new bl meta. Maybe we can complain about the current bugs and issues instead of imagining them.

Fix please. i did not pay for content i cannot use.

Can we call it a name that means firing large munitions, which it does not do, instead of callin it a supply crate after supply air drops? k. Why not. Oh right. The reasons i just mentioned.

confirmed. cant do cheevos because i cant damage the dragon. id need a reroll and total new set of gear. second living story with blocked progress. this patch sucks hard

A progress blocking issue i had to pay for. and not even a response letting us know anet is at least aware of the problem. i am dissappointed but not surprised.

We have seen Rytlock channeling the legend of a dragon that looks like glint

Fatalseid.2984:

I really wish that fanboys wouldn’t post this garbage. Anyone that plays a nerco clearly knows that they are op. Chill, minion master, fear, cripple and life leach. CLEARLY OP!!!
They need a nerf, plain and simple. Balance is really needed with this class. The key word, “Balance”.

Said the thief predictably, arrogantly unaware of his major hypocrisy!

As a brand new player I would LOVE to be able to play LS1 first to “catch up” with what is going on, as LA before it was destroyed looks great and would love to be able to play up to current, so I am then up to date…

Would love as a new player to be able to jump in for Free and play LS1 so we can catch up, would suck if I had to pay for content that was Free and in my mind, should be included to build the story

If you’re a new player, then it’s your lucky day. You don’t need to spend any money outside of the box price you paid for this game! Just convert Gold to Gems, and you can get all the extra you want, for zero (0) dollars!

This message is brought you to today by #TeamGnashblade.

Also, be sure to keep playing that BLTC “Flip my Item” for big rewards if you’re lucky enough to be the first dozen or so to get it to drop.

. . . seriously, people cleaned up on that so hard it’s amazing.

One more aside – stop chopping up analogies by picking out semantics and such, that’s getting annoying. Any analogy is by nature imperfect, and I really wish it had stopped the instant I hit fractions in grade school and had the pie analogy used. “But I don’t like cherry pies…” came from the back of the room, derailing the topic for days. Don’t let this happen to you.

Time to return to topic.

Honestly, there are only two downsides I can see to this:

- Players who cannot, for whatever reason, purchase Gems to purchase the unlocks. Let’s face it, there is a considerable chance people will not be willing/able to put the grind time in to earn Gold enough to buy 200 Gems. There are also people who are without access to a credit card for buying them via the store. This can foster a feeling of dissatisfaction over the apparently insurmountable fence between them and content they missed.

- New players when we hit Season 6 could look back, see the huge pile of price tags for the previous seasons, and decide to just opt out of the game entirely as a “naked and blatant cash grab” is seen. Assuming we actually get new players six years from now . . .

If you can’t earn 20 gold in this game chances are you have other things you could be doing then reliving old stories out of curiosity

By season 6 seasons 1 to 4 would likely be in unlock packs are reduced prices. Like skill packs in – 21

While I agree anet screwed up, didn’t test correctly and this is the latest in a long string of could-have-been-avoided-would-have-been-avoided-if-it-was-the-gemstore issues statements like this are silly. Not everyone who disagrees with your opinions is a white knight or a troll. Grow up out of your black and white world where everyone is wrong but you and learn to accept different points of view. Otherwise your not hear to debate or argue, just to force your views on others and get attention. This goes for people on Both sides of this fence.

Or you could have been blind. You cant Daze if your blind

I never said which I thought was better or tried to pretend I can do the math correctly as I am not a minmaxer. Just pointing some things out.

PSILO.4068:

Muchacho.2390:

Dagger gives the highest dps of all weapons including ds, if you can stay in melee forever.

I find the damage of axe rather terrible. It may be good for vulnerable stacking but necros have so many other options for that (traits,focus 4, well of suffereng etc).

Seriously? Have you ever used a necro?

Anyway, Spite VIII w/ axe always! In ten seconds w/ axe (3,2,1,1,1,1,1,1,2) = roughly 8k base not counting the crits, retaliation, or 10+% of vulnerability, or twice the life force dagger would give. Also axe compliments all the off hand weps better, at least that’s my opinion anyway.

With dagger you typically need to land #3 to maximize #2 (which is slower, weaker, and longer cd than axe 2)then just 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 and hope it chains =8k maybe, no retal, no vul. But you got healed for like 800, so it’s cool, right?

Have you ever played a necromancer? Using dagger 2 in a raw dps rotation? Moaning about how you hope dagger chains when all axe 2 damage can be avoided by running through the necromancer.
Biased opinion is biased. You’ve lost objectivity in favor of personal likes. And being kind of an kitten about it frankly.

RedStar.4218:

No to race-only professions.

Elathan.4902:

Forgive me if I’m mistaken, but didn’t the Paragon rely on the gods for their power in GW1?

If so, the current lore would prevent them from existing – the gods aren’t hanging around any more.

Let’s not bother with such “minor” things. If Anet wants something, they’ll bend the lore however they want.

Minor…..

Damaein.6413:

Someone care to share? At work still and am curious.

If you flash out of DS your 6 to 0 skills all flash as if they were coming off cooldown simultaneously. Only…cooldowns dont flash like that in this game. Not that i know of anyway. So where did this mysterious flash start coming from?

Not just for flesh golem, but flesh wurm could use an aquatic version as well. Flesh Golem into Risen Quaggan. Flesh Wurm into a stationary Risen Seaturtle. or something

They don’t need to transform into anything. Its not that they magically explode and the game opens a magical vortex that will destroy the world if flesh golem is left underwater, he just doesn’t have any swimming animations.

Both of them used to be allowed underwater, but it was honestly pretty stupid looking, and I imagine they just didn’t have the resources to make swimming animations.

Maybe Im just going off Box of Nails ->Box of Pirahna, And MoaMorph-> TunaMorph.

But i see what you mean, if they are already summoned theyd have to transform. I suppose I was thinking of it more from a necrotic traversal point of view and less of a golem point of view. Which is kinda dumb as the thread is about golem. ^^

phlemhacker.1372:

You’re right, I too am sick and tired of straight pride parades, months, and support groups at my university who are always harassing me about straight rights….

See this is why your wrong. Every single day is straight pride day. Your just too kitten ed used to it to bloody realise it.

Also…uh…give them rights and theyll stop harassing you. problem solved. tell your friends.

Not just for flesh golem, but flesh wurm could use an aquatic version as well. Flesh Golem into Risen Quaggan. Flesh Wurm into a stationary Risen Seaturtle. or something

IMO a lot of necromancers problems would be fixed by having life siphons tweaked, and allowing life siphons to work while in DS. But keeping all outside sources of healing from working in DS.

Either that or have life siphons convert to LF generation at some ratio while in DS. IE. vampiric precision generating some small amount of LF per crit. In fact perhaps all outside heals could be converting to LF generation at a point per exchange ratio. Likely a lowish one. So that other classes arent completely wasting heals on us.

Or if all that is too unappealing how about something FAR out there. Like a reversal of sorts. For example. A trait that causes Boons and Heals from outside sources to no longer work on necros in DS, because they are converted into conditions and sent through life blast to your current target.

There are lots of ways to use life siphon, DS, or convert heals so they arent completely wasted and our class mechanic becomes more intriguing and useful

The home instances are a bit boring, bland and a little bit pointless. But thats fine, i expect that will change radically someday.

However I would like to make 2 teensy tiny suggestion to improve the QoL of day to day stuff with the home instance.

Could we please get bank access and a Mercahnt who sells mining picks etc. Since the main reason to return there is mining the various nodes, or creating charged quartz it would be nice to be able to do that without having to run in and out if i forget to bring picks or pick up additional quartz.

Ideally I would like to be able to feel more at home in my home instances than i currently do with greater customisation of it based on my PS and living story but Bank access and a proper merchant who isnt selling watermelons would sure come in handy.

Carighan.6758:

The entire game tells you not to 1v1, it specifically discourages it with the way combo effects multiply when fighting with many.

The simple existense of thieves (single target burst designed to gank people), and mesmers (the dueling class) does not support your hypothesis.

When i pop Lich form in WVW I do it because i have suppoort and poisitioning to protect me and distract a group while I do damage. Alternatively I pop it coz im having a hard time and Im hoping the sight of lich will cause dps to back off for a few seconds, while cooldowns come back.

Literally anyone strafing or dodging or LOSing or stealthing can avoid it all. Some people decide to stand there and tank it and then die! Would you tank thief burst or ele burst? is a giant undead green norn in a skirt not a big enough sign to change your tactics or do you need a flashing message on your screen that says ‘’Lich been popped kitten’

Its funny to have a thief complaining about another classes burst., especially when that class has no stealth, invulnerabity, vigor, aegis, block, distortion, evade, shadowsteps, etc etc.

Alternatively you could have someone strip lichs stability, knock it down and kitten it. But then youd have to rely on either common sense or an ally if you simply refuse to use any of the MANY tools at a thieves disposal to handle lich.

NeXeD.3042:

You want to blow dagger 4 right away? No thx. On a condi build you shouldn’t have a problem with thieves and mesmers.

Uh…if yuou dont use a blind on deadeye dunwell with 5 gambits on hes just going to oneshot you. And i dont know what thieves or mesmers have to do with it.

I would love Longbow for ranged power and Sword for meele cleave dps

Agreed.

if a necro can wield a bow or a hammer then the arbitrary rules set by other games shouldn’t apply for what fits a necro. I would love a LB as well a a sword and GS.

Actually, GW1 rules do apply. Ranged weapons (that aint staff/scepter) and melee brute weapons (aka monk and mesmer weapons) cant be used by necros since they cant use their powers with them. IF we would need another source of ranged power (you know, except out freaking profession mechanic) the options would be limited to a) using a melee weapons as a ranged focusing equipment b) a rifle/automatic firepower.
Just as scepter/focus are like the lowest on the warrior equipment list, so are bow/shortbow on necro.

Actually, they don’t. a-net has stated that they are currentlly working on giving all weapons to all classes.

Weapons simply act as focus for casters. What in lore prevents one weapon from beign a focus and not another?

In lore? Maybe nothing. In magic? Weapons can be enchanted, hexed, cursed etc but other than that magical tools involve athames, candles, focii etc. Athames, or ceremonial blades can NEVER be used to actually cut anything. It would ruin the athame, much like ele daggers, necro axe, or mesmer greatsword.

And i have no intention of desiring a Longbow that does not fit this class at all just because other mmos think its cool. What the hell am i supposed to shoot? snakes? preposterous. Poison arrows? its been done.

Honestly I have no idea what current weapon could possibly work as a 2h power weapon for a necromancer I mean i could see them with a land trident or a scythe, but anything else would require a vast amount of looking the other way and pretending its not completely ridiculous.

This….WORKS.
After spending more tickets than i wish to admit trying to zerker chomper, or out attrition subject 7, and following a host of other guides etc, this was the easiest.

I failed the first time with an insta headshot but only because i hesitated when i should have beenactivating blood is power and spamming dagger 4.

On the second try I got it right. blood is power, then deathly swarm. followed up by dark path to get closer to him just in case. condi spam. he ports. spectral grasp him right into well of darkness. condi spam. doom, felsh golem charge. he never knew what hit him.

Thanks a TON.

Tried to kill her 12 times on my Necro, before doing the smart thing and switching to my PU mesmer and immediately killed her first try without any further problems. Some classes have just got much better abilities to position and defend themselves. Death Shroud for example, Necros only defensive move really, is just a health bar extension making it quite useless in one shot encounters. Block, vigor, increased endurance, regen, invulnerability, distortion, evade, stealth, reflect, Aegis, basically anything necros have limeited or more likely no access to are infinitely more useful in this fight. Not to mention targetted blinks, leaps, etc for better positioning. About the only thing that the necro can do better in this fight is Life leech her down without removing her shield. Which feels like a bug to me, and why I wont do it that way.

1) Increase life force generation on condition weapons by adding LF generation to Scepter 1

2) EITHER give Death Shroud 5s Stability as standard OR 2 stacks of Defiant OR Death Shroud now regens health as standard the healing INCREASES the longer you can stay in. The first and second one stop us being continuously focused to be knocked around without making us op. The third should be similar to the gm trait but with a noteable heal buff and and an incremental heal buff every second. I see no reason why we cant at least pop DS and get some self heals..maybe getting us back to half. Of course this option makes it even more important to focus the necro.

3) Life force generating elite on a 60 second cooldown with perhaps a few seconds of stability?

4) Dark Path speed increased by 50%

5) Fear now has a unique animation where afflicted warriors and thieves leave little wet puddles tailing behind them.

On my witchs broom

They arent doing away with servers. What I took from their info on this is that it is essentially automatic intuitive guesting to so that lower pop maps have more people on them.

I had hoped that after being absent from this game due to the devs lying to me and tricking me into purchasing this game, that maybe GW2 had returned to the wonderful game they had promised. But I see the power creep, gear treadmill, nonsense in the ‘game without grind’ is still one of the most notorious examples of false advertisement, lying and outright thievery I have ever had to deal with, outside of being actually mugged in Dublin, Ireland.

Ascended gear now? Sigh. I spent more on this game and gems and just about anyone and it was all a colossal waste of time and money based on a false premise and several lies. I definitely used to pay more a month than if i had a subscription and now I wont even log onto it for free. I dont like being lied to.

Indeed it is much needed, people let their underwater weapons, skills etc slide. And underwater combat is a fascinating addition that needs to be better utilised.

IF we dont need to wait for an expansion for new weapons for each class. For each class to get dual wield skills. And for new utilities then we dont need an expansion. they are pumping out stuff like crazy.

MassDelusion.9130:

Celestial Armor is crap, most people wont be making it.
Which means that the materials will stay cheap even after the event is over.

Also, this is just more “Why can’t I get everything in 1 day” complaints.

Not a bunker class player i see.

Just yesterday I was at the finish line and sat down in front of it for a minute and a half waiting for the second guy to come up and pass me out so he could win and then follow him afterwards.

He then started harassing me, dancing naked in my face, laughing and calling me a loser.
I polite told him exactly why he won and rather than care, he continued to laugh

Forget being nice. For eveyone like me who tries to be nice, their are 8 kitten Norns.

Adnul was the only kittene. Maddie can be maddening and her and the twighead and the charr can take a long time if you dont have the right boast but theyre all doable.

Adnul was….unreasonable.

I ADORE jumping puzzles. This wasnt a jumping puzzle.

The possibility of falling doesnt make it a JP, nor does the fact that one skill gives you a jump boost.
This was a scavenger hunt. and you need to use unique skills to find all the items. If they were easy to find or get to it wouldnt be a hunt.
There was very little unassisted jumping and it didnt satiate my inner JP addict.

It was however a very fun scavenger hunt. I hope the next one is underwater.

Truces in this area are amazing things, then one guy breaks it thinking hes awesome or red means dead, and then your whole server and the other server cant be trusted and the threat must be removed.

You WILL be punished for how your server acts in the Puzzle. Assuming you have been ganked because they are being kitten means that you are probably missing the story where they took 3 hours getting to the kite while being ganked by your guys.

Not that it’s an issue I never have a problem getting to the kite/chest. My mesmer is built for durability speed and survival, and uses all the mystic fountains. One does not simply take any old build/gear into Obsi Sanctum anymore than you would pvp, dungeons or fractals. And i know every shortcut tip and trick. The dark room takes seconds if you know how to do it right. Make sure you know all you can.

On that topic about the JP. I think i speak for many people (not all, maybe not even most) but I wont start with you if you dont start with me and you BETTER kitten well be able to finish me if you start something because i will NEVER stop coming after you. And you will NEVER get that kite, if its the last thing i do.

I will pull, knockback, stun. I will call reinforcements and I will die over and over to hinder you everyway i can. But thats only if you start something. How much is one loot bag worth to you? how much is two? Is it worth more than the kite? Thats all you get. If your having problems in the jumping puzzle there is no WAY you can outrun me, and i know every hiding spot.

Try Bowing to an opponent, Or saluting. Try being non threatening. Dont spam skills near them or use ANY ability on the ground that could hurt them in anyway.
And youd be surprised how many people are ok.
If you do get ganked. Dont just get kitten ed and give up or go for revenge. Party with them. Ask them to let you just get the kite and you wont bother anyone. If there kittens youll find out shortly. But youll have have a face and a voice and many people with be more eager to let you pass. Maybe you could suggest some 1v1 afterwards for fun, if they really want to kill things. Maybe ask them why they are ganking and from their point of view who started it.

Where you here for Halloween?
It started with creepy doors and nothing else for days. They dont give you everything at once. Because wed devour it all at once.

They are already setting up the Kiel Evon story and that is clearly going to overlap with the Four Winds, starting on the 16th.

Patience.

Might i suggest putting this info up on a build editor so it is easier to viusualise.

It’s not classism it’s impatience. They get an idea in their head that x=fastest and then thats the only thing that makes sense to them. They are everywhere and not worth your time. Just ignore.

I think what Erasculio is trying to say, albeit in a trollish way, is that the first chest in our queue is the one we are waiting for next, not the one just unlocked. Confusion brough about by the odd highlighting

Just got my second Achievement Chest. But where is my skin? Where is my Account boost?

Others in my guild did not receive anything either! Bug or lasck of info?

No there shouldnt. being able to visually see what an opponent is using is important in wvw/pvp. In fact a lot of this game is aimed at being able to tell if yourself or opponent is burning or poisoned or wielding a staff.

They need a solution, and i dont know what that is but letting you customise or hide the kits isnt it. Maybe if they make the kit weapons more recognisable they could do away with the backpacks altogether, but that’d take redesigning.
