Can anyone tell me what CC a Daredevil gets, i’m not seeing any at all, bare in mind new players or Returnees like me have yet to even master all their specs so all the new skills aren’t accessible to me yet (in all classes)

It’s in the skills’ descriptions with a few exceptions

Soft CC
Disabling Shot
Weakening Charge
Dust Strike
Sword AA
Dagger AA when traited with Lotus Poison
Shadow Shot
Distracting Daggers
Black Powder
Blinding Powder
Needle Trap
Caltrops
Devourer Venom
Ice Drake Venom

Hard CC
Pistol Whip
Headshot
Tripwire
Scorpion Wire
Reflexive Strike from Bandit’s Defense
Distracting Daggers
Basilisk Venom
Thieves Guild – the female thief summoned will use Scorpion Wire

Ambush – this could be either type of CC depending on if it summons a male or female thief

DD elite as well, https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Impact_Strike (it’s 3 attacks, the first 2 are cc’s, 3rd one you don’t need to use as it is mainly for finishing players in spvp/wvw)

I’m looking for a dedicated group that can raid at least once a week. At the moment I have a Daredevil with ascended berserkers and a Reaper with ascended vipers/sinister.

What about the champ wraith event for HOPE T4? I already have it myself, but for many it has been troublesome and requires either people stalling lyssa event (having to pay people gold to not kill boss for example) or playing at off peak hours.

For me, whenever I had my fps capped at 30 there was no sound for it, but at 60 there was.

IGN: Cardamine Hirsuta
Thief Type: Artisan
Server: Fort Aspenwood
Experience with thief: I’ve played thief for most of my time on gw2 since launch with roughly 3k hrs on the profession . I mainly play PvE but I like to roam around in WvW or occasionally do sPvP as well. I like swapping between builds often, so I’m not extremely good with one skill set, although I really enjoy S/D play-style and will be using Daredevil with HoT to complement that.

Bug is back.

EDIT: Fine now, but it was only bugged for some of us in guild anyway.

Mine doesn’t even play sound for me, uses the default shortbow sound. Has been like that for at least a month that I can remember.

Washington DC and on Verizon FiOS. Also seeing crazy ping spikes. Probably ISP side

Sadly I don’t think it is a ISP issue, as others on different ISP have confirm this issue. At the moment a lot of people (mostly east coast NA) are getting routed thru telia.net(located Sweden EU) , which means your going thru EU servers before you reach Anet. This started to happen when some log in servers went down on Anet’s side, so odds are high the it is Anets fault.

The only one that showed higher ping for me than the rest was a TWC ip, which is my ISP. I saw up to 2.8k ping today on gw2, which is a record for me lol.

He’s in one of my guilds, I’ll poke him if I see him online.

From what was available, Maxe/Axe was more fun to use for me than the Hammer. Also I was staying in Mallyx stance for most of the time because it’s abilities felt more responsive and fun compared to Jallis’.

I’ll try out revenant just because it is there, but I do want to try thief as well and see how effective the CC skills will be with the new defiance.

I don’t understand the issue with the “pve” that some people are complaining over. You say you want them to remove pve, but then what is there? Towers with no guards that enemies can walk into and instantly cap? Or a boring flat map like the area in OS with endless fights that grow stale after 1 day?

The new map looks fun and anything that helps to try and move away from the full map zergs we have today is a positive imo. Pretty much all I do is roam now (with the occasional zerging on my guard) and being able to have these smaller objectives that mean something overall for the rest of the server I’m on is great.

I was getting this on TCBL as well (I’m on TC), had to leave because I would just melt while my skills flashed.

I don’t know if this sound is intentional or not, but I’d like to think it isn’t because it’s slightly annoying lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fm2ID1wt2ps&feature=youtu.be

I know where we’re going, and I advise you to go ahead and fasten your seat belt.

Oh! I know what this means, the vines in the Silverwaste are going to turn into roller coasters and we can ride them further west into a giant mordremoth themed park!

To add to this, the Treasure Hunter collection is almost impossible to complete even if you manage to get some of the rare items like Sam, because some of the karma/coin items are tied to bugged events.
Namely these merchants and their associated events: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Quinta

This is semi-off topic, but I was trying to get branded strongboxes last night for exotic hunter skins and noticed http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Devouring_the_Brand was still bugged. This is one of the very few ways to get branded strongboxes (only 4 events drop them that i know of) but this along with numerous events have had bugs for well over a year in some cases. I love the new zones and content tied to them, but sometimes I like going to vanilla places just to mess around and seeing events stuck in place still makes me not want to explore those places as much as I would want to. I would love for them to be looked at for a feature pack release or possibly reworked in a future story release and I’m sure there are others who feel the same. At least for the benefit for newer players as well who may come across numerous events that just don’t progress and be put off from the game because of it.

Yeah the achievement for this one isn’t fun at all and I would rather it didn’t have this arbitrary time gated rng attached to it. Spent 20+ mins on this and it alternated between blue and green for the most of it. At one point it went to green about 7-8 times in a row.

If you can’t make it in game, I’ll be livestreaming most of the event today at http://www.twitch.tv/falcon07elensar/ and playing SAB music on loop. Come show your support for such an awesome part of what makes GW2 unique from other MMOs! (my internet may drop at some point but will be back up asap)

Also have a pet seed, it was stored in my bank and I made the first backpiece before today’s patch. I’m not sure if it was a cultivated or pet seed before doing some of the new steps and didn’t check till after I had done the first step for each of the new parts.

I posted a similar thread last night, the couple people I talked to in game with this issue also have time warner as there ISP. Is your disconnect happening at a specific time as well?

For at least a week or more, I’ve been disconnected at the same time roughly every night between 11:30 and 12:30pm EDT. I know a lot of people have been having disconnects and saying it has to do with EB, but it has been happening to me anywhere in game. I use the port 80 client, so I don’t think it would be an issue with ports (even if it did it would be odd considering its at the same time every night.) Has anyone else with Time Warner Cable been having similar issues and have you had any success with finding a fix for this?

You forgot “Updated the Localization Files.”

Basically a CTF style game mode with 5v5 or more players. Each team would spawn on opposite side of a corridor style map (think TF2 ctf if you have ever played that) and each team would have an Orb of Power as their flag. Maps could have vertical levels via jump pads and random items that give utilities such as a portal gun or shield.

Offensive: The orb would give a temporary bonus (improved crit chance, speed, etc.) when captured.

Defensive: Players can use supply to build structures and turrets, can make mazes similar to a tower defense game.

This is just a few basic ideas, please comment to help improve and maybe Anet will add this someday!

score update 10:30 pst

Haha you may have destroyed some golems intended for DB Keep but you didn’t show the forums the picture of your entire Zerg getting wiped in the process. What a misleading image at least show multiple images to tell the whole story, by the way thanks for all the loot it was fun killing you and DB multiple times in a 3 way battle near golanta, it was an epic 30 mins of battle.

Sigh, this is why I don’t post on the forums very much. When someone calls a group of 10~ a zerg and chase them all the way across the map with 40+ and says we got wiped at golanta I just facepalm.

That’s a complete fallacy I’d agree that we had around 50 people in our Zerg + or – 5, but you (YB) also had 50 + people on the rock in between golanta and klovan, you’re Zerg rushed the golems, destroyed most of them and then you all got killed, please do not fabricate what actually happened.

There are like 15 people in the picture I took so I’m done here. That’s how many we had so have fun with whatever you think in your own mind.

Poor Golems, sorry for ruining your party mag

Guild mate got at least 5 exotics, 0 rares, and a fractal weapon last night, rest of us not so much… He hasn’t played as long as the rest of us, so I’m thinking he just hasn’t hit the “you have played over X hours, enjoy your blues and greens from now on with the occasional exotic once a month,” at least that how it is for me.

Watch out for an engi from SoS on kaineng, he has the power of teleportation and immunity while downed, he also had CoF gear.

We now have a small Teamspeak server!

Curious, how do you get up there?

Bump for edits.

We are currently a small guild that is limited in how much we can help simply because of our numbers. We have 4 active members, including myself, that are apart of the WvW community daily. Dire Wolves has been on Yak’s Bend since the start and plans on staying till the end of GW2.

Our goal is to expand our reach from the few skirmishes we have outside of the zerg to being able to counter any group of players that we run into by ourselves. We don’t ask that you be the best player ever, only that you can listen to communication and adapt to any situation.

If you would like to join, message me either on the forums here or in game and I will add you. Our active time is 12pm EST-1am EST and we a usually stick to our borderland or the battlegrounds.

Other Info:
We use a small Teamspeak server hosted by one of our members, PM me in game after joining for info.
We occasionally do PvE with alts or dungeon runs.

Officers: Xiruf, Xigg Ma, Mr Vance

Attempting to uncontest on Yak’s Bend, need more people!

Still can’t see thieves for more than half a second, so no change for me. As a ranger who isn’t using traps all the time (I like to change stuff around), it’s almost impossible for me to solo them or even hit them till they are gone again. Hopefully the arrow fix will help in the next update, but I would prefer to see them 100% of the time they don’t have invis.

Can’t say the same for the puzzle on YBBL, a few TC and CD players were there attacking people (with the exception of 2 TC guys) about 2 hours ago.

So many players on tonight that I am getting invisible armies!

It seemed like most of last night was even, at least on GoM borderlands. Me and a friend went into EB jumping puzzle before logging off and there were at least 10 from Sf and GoM camping different parts of it, Sf probably had a few more closer to 20 in there.

SoR dedication and coordination proved in this pic. Not about numbers guys!

I’m not sure whether that was sarcasm or not. That screenshot shows ten SoR attacking a defended tower with no upgrades. I did count them too. That’s only ten people. What is your point?

That’s our spawn, not a tower that they were attacking.

It will be when SoR starts losing and people jump ship then. Free Xfers should of been stopped weeks ago, it really is ruining WvW.

Not worth playing this week, just wait till Anet does something or till next weeks match when we hopefully aren’t against them or some other server that does the same.

I’m from Yak’s Bend and I’ve pretty much already given up this week on WvW. With GoM hacking to get orbs and our server having no idea what to do, there isn’t a point in having to constantly defend and repair every time I go on there.
