Guild Wars 2

ive tried this mission three times now on my guardian, and it always ends the same.. at the end I follow Ruka down the path and at the end where he disappears my story should end and I should get my reward + progression. but… nothing happens, he disappears and i get nothing. i have to exit the map manually by either logging or going to guild hall..

really frustrating because doing story on my alts is how ive been farming the sparks, auric dust, and airship oil to finish my Astralaria. I also noticed this last time I ran this mission my first glint skill never showed up and therefore I could not use it, I could only use the sprint ahead (#2) and the long jump (#3)

ping ping ping, bump :]

to bad this doesnt work “well” with gathering tools. not worth the money to me atm. mostly due to that

not sure if our times will work for your but this is worth a shot for both of us. check our info on the recruitment page of our website. www.jesters-unknown.com hope u find what your looking for!

having bumped in along time. we are still recruiting! contact us if you have any questions or are interested in joining JsUn

bump this, we are still recruiting

I HAVE to reply to this thread lol, havnt read past the first two posts.. And tbh, i didn’t have to read more than the topic to know this “player” isn’t even playing the game.. Because since HoT ive been pulled in like 6 different directions on a daily basis because there’s so much crap to do that i don’t have time to do it all! Before HoT i would get into game and ty to figure out what i was gunna do… Now.. My dilemma is what the heck am i going to do first!? lol.

There’s a lot of content and things to do in this expansion! And anyone who makes a statement like the OP did in the title… Just isn’t even playing.

Hawken son of Z.1367:

Those who don’t think zerk reaper can’t keep up with zero rev, most likely don’t know the reaper dps rotation… Reaper GS hits for 7.5-10k with every hit on VG (on par with rev) and grave driggers hit for 23-27k.

Also… Its fact right now that <50% hp, reaper has best dps in the game right now, and in raids that is a massive advantage. Also, daredevil DPS is insane atm, but daredevil is selfish class compared to herald and reaper who also support. (herald more so)

Don’t listen to the rev players who don’t play other classes…. They don’t know kitten

Important to point out:

- Reaper’s Greatsword Auto-Attack chain takes ~2.5s to complete, ignoring any potential aftercasts
- Revenant’s Sword Auto-Attack chain takes 1.75s to complete, again, ignoring any potential aftercasts

Yes, you can hit for around the same numbers PER hit, but undoubtedly the Revenant will hit MUCH more often.
Add in Quickness and the Revenant will come out ahead easily.

Now, Gravedigger takes 1.25s to complete, ignoring possible aftercast. Is it more than Revenant’s damage? Well, I’ll admit I don’t have that exact information here, but assuming you always do 23k damage per Gravedigger and the Revenant always does 9k per Auto-Attack hit(3 per 1.75s), then over a period of 10s, we’ll have:

- 184k damage from the Reaper (18.4k DPS)
- 154k damage from the Revenant (15.4k DPS)

This, of course, ignores potential aftercast in either(I’m almost certain Gravedigger has quite a bit), assumes the Revenant is ONLY Auto-Attacking in Sword(and you can realistically actually hit for higher than 9k) and not doing proper rotations with Shiro/Mallyx/Glint (using Sword 2 for additional damage inside the boss’ hitbox, Mallyx’s +10% stat boost, Shiro’s Quickness, Glint’s Elemental Blast, etc.). Also realize that the enemy you’re attacking MUST be below 50% health and we assume you always hit for 23k.

BUT, assuming you have a Chronomancer supplying both the Revenant and the Reaper with Quickness, then yes, I think the Reaper does end up winning the DPS race*.

*Technically, Epidemic allows Necromancers to out-DPS pretty much anything in the game (more specifically, the 2x Epidemic from 2 Necros), but this is very situational.

Someone with actual numbers could do a much better job than me, but I feel like you should know this.

Me and another necro were running condi reaper builds with lichform minions/deathmagic at gorseval last night. He would epi gorse then id epi back onto gors from the adds… It was pretty insane, we had over 100 bleeds on him lol. He was running viper armor and was bleed ticking for 6.5-7k I was running sinister and bleed ticking for 7.3-7.8ish (on average). It was pretty fun!

Those who don’t think zerk reaper can’t keep up with zero rev, most likely don’t know the reaper dps rotation… Reaper GS hits for 7.5-10k with every hit on VG (on par with rev) and grave driggers hit for 23-27k.

Also… Its fact right now that <50% hp, reaper has best dps in the game right now, and in raids that is a massive advantage. Also, daredevil DPS is insane atm, but daredevil is selfish class compared to herald and reaper who also support. (herald more so)

Don’t listen to the rev players who don’t play other classes…. They don’t know kitten

Just wondering, is this auto looted? Or is it a rng drop from chest? Beat VG lastnite and on a third mastery bar I only noticed it went up about as much as doing CoF P1. Lol :/

I thought I remember a dev saying the XP drop in raids was supposed to be pretty substantial. This really isn’t another " raid rewards suck" threads. I’m just looking for some clarification on if its auto looted or if I just did not get mine

Did anet change this skin for this precursor? I coulda swore it had the static sextant piece on the end of the handle (where on astralaria is moves) and when I crafted it today it did not have it even tho part of the finally crafting of The Mechanism is that sextant piece ( the balanced counterweight )

Would love a confirmation from anet if they did change this pre with this latest patch or if I’m just nuts and remembering it wrong.

Thanks!

I had no issues with this, I could be wrong since this was a couple days ago but I thought I got it after looting the chest

Trice.4598:

Gaile Gray.6029:

Players on the legendary journey for Astralaria III will encounter a bug involving Meteorite Ingots. Currently the recipe only provides 1 ingot, where it is intended to provide 25. We plan to fix that recipe bug as soon as we can.

If you craft only 1 Ingot before the recipe fix, all is not lost. After the recipe fix, you may speak with Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs in Lion’s Arch and choose the conversation option “I have misplaced a vital component for crafting my Legendary.” For a small amount of Karma, you will be able to purchase Meteorite Ingots in stacks of 5. Only 25 are required for this collection.

We wanted to let you know about this before all you legendary crafters run into the issue and as we said, we’ll get this corrected as soon as we can.

I just want to make sure you guys know, it is impossible right now to even craft 1 ingots. The Aurilium sheets required for the collection are not currently available. The NPC has the sheets showing up on his tab, but it’s lock, even with all masteries, T4 map, it’s always locked.

yes, ^^^ what this player said. ALSO the collection currently says (mouse over cosmic Mechanism) that you need 10 Meteorite Ingots.. not 25??? theres so much now in this collection that’s borked :[

Torture.9156:

Guys you can buy every collection item (i.e. Fire Imbued Heart) from Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs for ~ 1000 karma when you don’t carry one in your inventory.

You might want to check the wiki page about Hobbs, section “Recovered Items”

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Grandmaster_Craftsman_Hobbs#vendor185

So this reduces mexay’s costs calculation massively by around 90%.

is this true? can anyone confirm that once our initial Vial of Heat is created we can just buy the 10 more needed with Karma? and this wouldn’t be a mistake by anet or some sort of exploit? I never looked at it this way and Torture may really be onto something! thanks Torture!

Plain and simple, why is nevermore III basically easy as spamming hundred blades and astralaria III is like trying to equipt a short bow on a mesmer??

I can understand some inconsistencies, but look at these two collections! Its like the legendary team had 0 communication between legendaries, their costs, their time gates, and their difficulties. Seriously. What the heck? Anet? For those who don’t know the differences, check the wiki, its pretty bad lol. Nevermore III u basically hunt down spirit after spirit and need some quartz, astralaria III, u need tons of charged quartz, tons of other content other than “finding” spirits, more crafting is needed, more HoT currencies are needed. Its a bad joke with no punch line.

Gz, nevermore people. Astralaria III is still busted. Anet couldn’t fix an item being unpurchasable??? I sent a ticket, they refused to give me the item needed like they did with people going after nevermore. Fun.

I’m usually the one complaining about complainers on these forums but common! U have the time to give dreamer and kudzu EXTRA love but howler owners have been utterly ignored for how long now? Kudzu and dreamer didn’t have auras, howler has all sorts of cool effects and u took them away and havnt given them back. This is just a slap in the face to me.

Btw I have no hate for kudzu or dreamer owners, I’m happy u guys got an added bonus. Gz

I just came across this thread, I just have to add that I find it a tad funny that the OP made the thread and then replied later on saying how he was still looking for a guild that accepted him bla blah, when he joined our guild like 2 days ago, then left 2 days later which was on the day we were going to raid, webtoe was on the raid group. Why waste peoples time here on the forums? And why waste your time complaining about not having a non elitist guild that lets members raid instead of just officers when u get the opportunity and bail on it? Le sigh. We tried to help you and we tried to help us.

Sent you a PM regarding our guild (JsUN). www.jesters-unknown.com

Hope u find what your looking for!

We have a few spots left open on our raid team due to some people becoming less active right before the raid release, we don’t want to put these positions unless we have to! Let us know in game if your interested or have questions! Come join an awesome guild and lets raid it up!

been awhile since a good bump!

Bum ping this. Still recruiting great people and great players! And still have a spot or two left on our first raid group.

Still have 2 spots open on our raid team. And also recruiting otherwise as well.

at what rank does this stop??

so theres some people who couldn’t do pvp guild missions with us because they were to low of rank… IRRITATING! guild what? missions? lol

hell, we cant even queue with these people for dailys.. THIS IS UNRANKED QUEUE!!!

when does this crap stop?? what rank do these people need to be to play with their own guild in UNRANKED matches..

also.. this is coming from the person who is high rank.. I’m not the one whos feeling disheartened because they are to low rank to play pvp with their own guild members.

So… After being sick of reading what seems like nothing but negative threads, which may be because people that are happy with the new content have no reason to come yo the forums to voice their opinion. ( there’s more of a drive to voice complaints than enjoyment)

I must say Anet, OTHER THAN the guild hall buff lockout for non HoT owners, I love HoT. Since launch ive felt like there’s TONS to do in the game, I feel pulled in a dozen different directions (which I like) and I’m enjoying all the new maps and all the new events in those maps, I’m also enjoying the new fractals even tho they were Initially hard for me to " get into" since I was a fractal player before this big change. So bottom line is.. Thank you for what feels like a lot of content, that feels rewarding, meaningful, and enjoyable. Now fix the guild buff please

Also, all negative replies to this thread will simply be ignored)

Does this even make sense? A legendary is a legendary is a legendary, is it not? Why will some legendaries take insane amounts of man hours just to unlock the collections to start the legendary? Maybe I’m totally missing the point here. But if there’s going to be like 2 more mastery lines to unlock to complete one of the new legendarys , holy crap! Lol

I need to stop visiting these forums.. 90% of it is people crying cuzz “awww its to hard! Boo boo!” or " I can’t find enough people to help with this even tho I’m not asking in map chat! Boo boo"

My lord.. Tears tears tears. Ask in map chat u’ll get plenty of help, or just try it more than once? Ive yet to find a HP (yes even the harder ones) that can’t be done with 2-3 people. If u can’t find 1 other person to help u with harder content than there’s no hope for you at all. But… There is plains of Ashford

I was under the impression legendary armor WILL ONLY DROP IN RAIDS, and would not be craftable. Am I wrong?

Yeah I expected to be able to work on astralaria right away and was disappointed when I realized the first book wasn’t in game yet. And id also like some clarification from a dev as to what mastery level I need u locked to start working on astralaria.

Yes.. The guild buff lockout I have MAJOR issues with…. It needs to be fixed asap. How is it ok to lock out an XP buff but ur not going to lockout the guild portal? Anet really is upsetting people with this kind of lock out stuff and it needs to be addressed right away

So, yeah. I’m sick of hearing people complain about empty maps… If u want a meta event, look in LFG, its really not that hard. And if u need extra people fot a herk challenge, ASK! ive yet to see ANYONE ask for more people to help with something and NOT get said help. Its an MMO, people are supposed to work with other people to accomplish things. If you want to play alone. Then gtho tbh…. Go play a single player game. We all wanted harder end game content, and now that hero challenges and events can’t be effectively done with one or two people that are not willing to ask for help they are gunna cry about it.. rolls eyes throws damask patch to wipe the tears

I just completed 100% in Verdant Brink mapping and got nothing :[

doing my completion to make Astralaria , I’m sad… please help me lol

ya I just tried it, and can confirm that it takes… ya that’s right. like 3 seconds off of the minute… lmfao

is the mining bonus in the guild hall still busted? ive got left over influence and that’s what id like to use it on.

durend.6237:

Can non-HoT accounts use the guild portal for missions (/earn mission rewards)?

Id like to know this as well… Because if they can’t, I wont be getting this upgrade as its practically pointless and almost just as easy to zone out of guild hall and meet at a WP linked in guild chat…

PopeUrban.2578:

angellips.9753:

The tavern buffs aren’t usable by ppl without HoT. The old guildwide buffs were. Therefore the non-HoT ppl have lost.

No, they haven’t. Everyone lost the old buff system. HoT or no. The tavern buff system isn’t comparable at all as its scaling and acquisition method is completely different. non-HoT people can’t use it, this is true, but that’s like saying they “lost” scribing.

They have less buffs than people with HoT. Yes. But only if the guild in question chose to spend their resources on those buffs, knowing that many members can not use them.

If you spend materials donated by members without hoT knowing full well they couldn’t use them, in stead of fast tracking scribe or waypoint discounts, that’s the guild leader’s fault.

You are not required to take those buff upgrades in order to advance the hall’s services that do benefit non-HoT players.

I’m trying to figure out is ur just being a troll or not.. Lol.. Ur right the new tavern buff is different from the old buff… ITS LESS OF A BUFF! and non hot member do not have access to it even tho they had access to it 2 weeks ago ( a more OP version) I’m having a really hard time not calling you daft as a quaggan right now. Your comparing us saying the new buff system is still basically the same because its a guild buff that everyone should have access to , to us saying they took away scribing? Lol! We had no scribing at all before.. But we did have an XP buff)))))))))))))

I made a post about this in general forum.. Its now on like page 5. Anyways. I said that Colin Johanson needs to fix this or I’m gunna smack him in the face with juggernaut. Lol

This is bull… Guild members had excess to 24/7 buffs pre HoT. And now about %15 of our guild has no access to buffs.. Its a real slap in the face tbh.. And tells me Anets game is $$$$$$$ to them and nothing else. There’s literally NO good reason why their game GUILDwars basically blackmails people into purchasing their xpac because they took something away from players and then made it only available for $$.. Disgusting. Even if they fix this.. I’ll never forget what they thought was “ok” to do to their player base who didn’t buy their xpac.

Soo, today during our guild meeting we found out that our guild members who don’t have HoT CANNOT utilize the bar keeps guild buffs… This is basically horse kitten.

Karma, XP,and MF buffs need to be accessible to all guild members, in all guilds! Any Anet staff that reads this needs to go tell Colin Johanson that I personally am telling him he needs to fix this RIGHT NOW, or I’m personally going to drive to Seattle, grab that cosplay juggernaut in your studio and smack him right across the face with it. ( also tell him that ive loved everything in your expansion up untill this point, but I’m astonished you guys made these buff inaccessible to our guild members)

title says it all.. I’m curious as to what people are all using as their 2nd weapon set with reaper. I was using Staff, with either blood magic or Spite, but then switched to Axe and Spite… honestly I like Axe more… BUT.. the lack of life force renewal on axe can be a major issue when your in a boss fight (solo) and nothing around you is dieing.

Still have a couple spots open for RAIDS. get a hold of us!

soo… how do the new rushes work? (Race)? there is no progress bar like there is with PvP wins ( 0/5)

my guild popped our Race, went to the map and another guild was doing theres so we just started with them. (this is how u used to be able to do it and still get personal rewards and what not) but when our members made it thru the rush no personal reward was given. also in the right hand side of the map it had the guild rush progress out of 0/15 …. yet in our guild Race in guild menu panel it said RECOMMENDED players 10. there just seems to be a lot of issues or discrepences with this new guild race mission..

some clarification here would be great.. because as a smaller guild, we have no clue if we need 15 players to complete it to get credit, or not? AND if a guild is currently doing a Race , do we have to wait till they are don’t to pop our race ?

this seems super clunky

I must say.. it felt nice to have something that felt some what difficult and time consuming to work for.. and tbh.. it only took me about 15 hours of game play to reach that goal. (full reaper spec)

I never felt like Anet treated me badly by making the Elite spec fairly difficult and time consuming to get. I was happy to put the time in.. I guess maybe this is one of the differences between my generation of gamers.. and the new generation of gamers who are used to playing games where everything is handed to them.

I guess theres no much else to say or explain. I’m disappointed Anet felt the need to cater to what I felt like where a few people per a thousand who whined about not getting their ELITE spec on day one. I disagree with your decision to change it, and I think you should be a little, not a lot, but a little ashamed of yourselfs for holding these players hands.

well nm… it didn’t show up until we got back to the turret area. in Season 2 it was always on I believe so that’s what I was used to. ignore this post or delete it pls

failed first try in my party (did originally have the buff saying I was eligible ) and when we went to try again, buff is gone. tried re-entering several times and its gone..
