Guild Wars 2

Overkillengine.6084:

Next patch: Dagger 2 healing reduced to less than Vampiric Signet to increase build diversity.

Edit: But it won’t be in the notes for about 5 months then added as a tooltip correction.

Stop giving them ideas darn you!

I really didn’t mind the difficulty, since I had a group of 4 with one person under leveled for the dungeon, I was just confused because every post on the wiki and other guides said he spawned veterans rather than elites XD .

Thanks for the advice on beating him, we’ll definitely take those into account.

So I just took my group through AC and we decided for kicks and giggles to give Kholer a shot. I was given to understand that he now summoned veteran mobs at 75%, 50% etc as you burned him down so we were ready to take them on. Instead, however, he kept spawning more silver elites and that unexpected bit of damage/hp wiped us several times. Was there another buff I missed somewhere?

The main problem I run into (Condimancer, currently using a Melandru set because I’m trying to gear up) is the lack of stability in my normal form. I can go lich or Plague to gain stab, but if I want to actually use my character against any size of group I will get ping-ponged around until dead. I will literally get grabbed, knocked down, and flung, unable to cast at all until I’m downed.

Even dying quickly at least would allow me to pull a “blow the cooldowns and take ’em out” sort of thing, but being flung around like a beach ball is boring and not fun .

I think it’d be cool to have “domino” objective unlocks: where accomplishing one thing starts another. Maybe if you captured a particular asura power generator it would give an area buff, but you would also unlock special “Asuran shields” that would help defend nearby keeps and tower walls, and regenerate health only if you could keep the generator rather than using supply?

Or perhaps mercenaries similar to battletoads and ogres, where there was a secondary “Kill this really nasty boss monster in the mine” objective once you had them captured that would upgrade the mercenaries (maybe a champion would accompany them, or add more veterans to the group) and perhaps add extra defenses to hold the camp against small groups?

Or perhaps a series of objectives that a small group could accomplish that would result in a raiding party of various NPCs that would attack a nearby tower (similar to seigerazer but maybe on a shorter cooldown, and other players could fight over them like they do with mercenaries) or defend it if the players owned the tower?

And of course I’d love rewards over time for holding onto a keep or tower, though I don’t have any ideas for that yet.

Gotta say that last FC golem rush before patch was fun to blast apart…just sat on a mortar and let ’em have it

I’ve been playing for several months now without any major connection issues, but within the last 2 weeks or so I’ve been getting disconnected when travelling between zones (including entering WvW) and getting several different errors, one error per disconnect, each time. I can log back in if I keep spamming the “Log-in” button long enough, but then I run the risk of being D/C’d when I change zones.

These same errors also frequently just prevent me from logging in period: again if I just keep telling the game to reconnect it eventually does.

I experience no lag, weird graphics errors etc at all otherwise. Actual gameplay is normal.

I still experience this disconnecting issue with both AVG and my firewall completely turned off.
