Guild Wars 2

Very great work there, it would be alsome to have any of those on my back!

But them site pop-ups. Got another site (like imgur or similar) without them pop-ups?

Shinya,

Add the word “Character” before you say “Select” so you get “Character Select”, and more people will be less confused.

Thank you.

But I agree, scale charr down in the Character Select.

Raine.1394:

It would seem that you are confusing loot system with server architecture. The loot system will not improve until they fix the loot system.

Could you elaborate?

My thought was that since waypoint usage is now going to double (possibly triple) for some to travel, is there plans in motion for players to be more rewarded for hitting less world bosses due to the schedule that has been proposed that limits a lot of players choices in bosses to hit?

Example – From Queensdale to Mount Maelstrom (Golem Mark II) – Waypoint to 1 waypoint near entry of Gendarran Fields -> port in, waypoint to 1 near Lion’s Arch -> port in, waypoint to Bloodtide Coast -> port in, waypoint to 1 near Sparkfly Fen -> port in, waypoint near Mountmael Strom -> port in, waypoint to Golems Waypoint, hope he is still up by that time.

I certainly hope this is not what I have to do, otherwise I will be camping alts at every boss.

These boss changes are not what I was ready for.

Since bosses are becoming less accessible, are all enemies across the game receiving an upped chance of better loot (exotic drops) to compensate these drastic changes?

My amount of play time is short, & with the current setup the game provides, I can hit a good amount of bosses & have the feeling (& loot to show) my accomplishment of successfully taking down some big baddies.

This change now limits my time to just 2, maybe 3 bosses a day if I skip out on daily. This is not at all friendly to those that work with limited amount of time. For the first time, I am actually considering to not spend money on Gems/Anet.

-

With waypoint change coming – I can now see mounts coming :\
This is some late April Fool’s sick joke……….right?

I do it daily for the bonus chest. Has been my favorite place since the start of the game, and try to get as many people to run it to share the experience.

I am now curious about the celestial change that is coming:

Celestial gear, which provides a moderate boost to all stats rather than a significant bonus to a few stats, will be hit harder by these changes compared to other gear, since it provided relatively high critical damage values compared to other stats given out. To compensate, we’re increasing the overall effectiveness of Celestial gear by improving all stats by 6% of their current values.

The number crunchers can figure it out im very sure of that soon, but Id like your thoughts Phineas Poe. This thread has been a great read through & given my great thoughts to my choices in skills/gear. Keep up the good fight!

“…a player will no longer be able to gain 25 stacks and then un-equip the sigil.”

This is a big concern for my kit using engineer. Any dev would like to clearify this statement better? Not only for engineers, but for everyone cause what happens if someone picks up a Elementalist’s elemental weapon? Do they lose their stacks?

That has caught my attention too with the post.

What I would like to know is: If engineers use kits, would swapping out to that kit remove your stacks every time?

I would certainly hope not, and would only remove if I actually swapped out my actual weapon. (pistol/rifle/shield)

I’ll trade in my tengu for a pre-curser drop.

Why did you not research this? http://dulfy.net/2014/02/18/gw2-spinal-blade-backpiece/

Dynamic – Blue
Synergetic – Green
Static – Red

Ask your guild, someone by now has one & knows more about the colors/cores.
If not in a guild, ask in Gendarran map chat cause you will get someone that tells you the right color/core u need. (Or at least a core to go off of & u can “google” it to check what they say)

U get 6 champ boxes when all 3 knights are either killed or event fails. Chance at cores in the same reward window that do not correspond to the knight you were on. The core you get is random.

NOTE: You currently only get loot if the knight your on dies. If others die & yours is still up by the time event fails – you get nothing.

I think this will be fine. (If they are indeed scaling past 50)
Not only are people being told (in map chat) to not go to the last knight standing, but they are punished for even trying to attack.

Maybe add an aura also so that if you don’t have the calibration (& just standing in the area) your life starts ticking away? Maybe adding to intensity, similar to the miasma? Only way to negate this would to be calibrated. (I am still drinking my coffee so I am not fully realizing what this would do :P )

I am just thinking of ideas, cause spamming map chat “STAY AT UR KNIGHT, DONT RUN TO OTHERS & SCALE IT UP” doesn’t seem to work when it seems more then half the server cant read English yet they can type back in English “I NEED THE CREDIT FOR BLUE BECAUSE I WANT THE CORE”

Hebee.8460:

TC main failed cause blue went insta heal to full at 5-10%.
Red & green died though.
I got 6 gear champ boxes and a Static core

Other then the insta full heal/fail – I like it

Update on the 2nd run after the patch for TC main (I went to bed after):

- Completed & went smoothly.
- 1 commander at each knight with 10-15min prior the event. The commanders count all who are there & start announcing in map chat how many they have.
- Constant map chat update to each knights health. The HUD that shows you how much health each knight is at was bugged to the previous run, with red/green dead & blue at 75% since it was healed. Once blue got below 75% it started to drop, but red/green were showing dead whole fight
- Once a knight died, map chat announce its down & cheered on other knights.
- Announced to map chat for everyone to stay at their current knight to avoid scaling up since it was unnecessary to have more then 50 at other knights up.
- Blue Knight Commander made sure to assign people (most likely his group) to mender watch, just to make sure they didn’t get to watch knight. They go down easy.
- Rewarded with 6 gear chests, no cores, but other party member got a core (kitten my RNG! :P )
- After knights are down, had a nice gap then a cinematic that allowed players enough time to port onto drill without having to worry about getting shot, & losing out on achieves.

The 1st run though, I did notice (And I believe others have mentioned) that when failed, if your knight is still alive & others are downed – you get no reward. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

Overall – The fix is good, but minor tweaks still will make it a greater event.

No More Tricks, Scarlet

• This achievement requires a good deal of skill and awareness, make sure you are watching for the red telegraphs that show where the Holograms will fire next and make sure you do not run through any active scorch marks during the fight, good luck!

The main problem with this achievement, afaik, is that sometimes you’re ported to Breachmaker when the fight is already ongoing, and instantly die due to spawning on “scorch mark”, so achievement fails from the very beginning.

I think a solution to this would be to port to scarlet’s lair entrance as it is just out of range of her gun.

Thank you very much for this post. It means A LOT to us, to know that you know what we have found in game & the emotion we go through.

That being said, I have 2 (optional) questions:
1. Any tips on how to currently qualify for loot from the knights?
2. Is it possible to hear some ideas that have gone around the office of what is to come?

Thank you again for this post!

Edit: Compensation is not a personal issue to me. Getting the event to working as intended is a much higher priority to me.

Shows me they hope to let it blow over.
I didn’t realize Anet were taking their break during the final part of LS when Anet mentioned they would take a break after.

ShiningSquirrel.3751:

Since this is a limited time event, don’t hold your breath, it will be easier for them to just continue to ignore us until the event is over.

Sad but true

The lack of dev interaction on any of the multiple knight loot threads shows it is working as their intention:

Do events without being rewarded, even though we said you would be rewarded.

Hebee.8460:

Loot is bugged. The fact this “strategy” tells you to avoid a intended boss of the 3 further shows that its bugged.

Loot is not bugged, Anet seems to want to limit power core drop to ensure it’s value. My strategy is based on laws of supply and demand and freedom of choice, you may choose any 2 of the 3, but you just won’t get all 3 unless you are really gifted, welcome to real world.

So do a 3 boss event not as designed….got it

Loot is bugged. The fact this “strategy” tells you to avoid a intended boss of the 3 further shows that its bugged.

This is just ridiculous that not only are cores not droping, but not even greys are dropping.

I have done the party speculation & I have done the solo as well. Both times with Vigil boon, the +damage to scarlet army potion, and straight power food = no reward.

Again – This is just ridiculous

Traveller.7496:

Aren’t they just your normal engineer downed skills?

LOL best laugh ever

This speculation is the same as one of the Flame & Frost releases that showed 1 person on a dolyak & the forums blew-up with “mounts are coming”.

Art is just that – Art. Nothing more, nothing less.

All the guild bonuses that last a good portion of a day or longer.
Being with like minded people makes the game that much better to goof around & joke with each other.

I say its worth it.
My girlfriend & myself have been playing since betas, and we both have enjoyed since then. Finding a layed back guild has helped us, and with similar interests has gone a long way for us. With a lot of choices of looks, it has worked for both of us, since I can craft her stuff & she can craft stuff for me (I try to get her stuff crafted 1st, focusing on 1 of us at a time). Dungeons have been alright cause its 1 less person to find, but myself & her do not focus on dungeons much, we just roam around maps doing bosses. We spend about 2-4 hours nearly everyday playing, or just enough time to do daily.
I think its great that this game has been easy to approach & step away from at anytime, which has been great for us. So yup, its worth it.

Depending on if you are a Human Warrior – then you have highest priority, & it will be taken care of soon.

If you are a Charr Mesmer/Engineer – then you are lowest priority, & your better off asking for a refund (which wont happen, just like clipping will not be taken care of for Charr)

Long ago, the original quaggan tonic from Blubloop in Straits of Devastation (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Blubloop) use to let you jump as a baby quaggan. Then some patch came around that took it out, but I just can not recall when it happened. I have been sad everyday I use that tonic, & now more so with the new ones.

Apparently we got bug fixes to turrets incoming:
We’ve fixed a lot of turret issues that were causing them to behave poorly or inconsistently (many of these issues have been reported via the bug forums, thanks guys!) In the coming patch, you’ll see quite a few improvements in this area. For example:
• Fixed the bug that was causing all turrets to have a lower rate of fire than intended.
• Fixed the bug that was preventing the overcharge for the Rifle Turret from increasing its rate of fire. – Karl McLain

I am curious what other turret bug fixes will be on the list since there are may to choose from to fix. (Big thanks to Anymras for the list)

Its been confirmed chests are coming back. No date mentioned though.

Has anyone tested if they take more damage when you consume the potion?

I saw Anet has “fixed it” (Fixed an issue in which the Powerful Potion of Slaying Scarlet’s Armies was causing players to take additional damage from Scarlet’s forces.), but I would love to hear it from the community with all the number crunchers out there.

Speaking of past rewards:

Has anyone gotten anything from previous updates?

I am curious about the range of rewards, & how far back in the past it goes to.

Having an option to show commander tags on/off maps sounds good enough to me. Maybe have it as a check mark in the general options. Default is set to have it on, so that way once made, those that want it don’t touch it, while those that want to lose the tags have the option.
Options are typically a win/win for everyone.
For the seeing your own tag, that has to be a bug that should get fixed.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/engineer/Hobo-Sacks-A-Terrible-Fashion-Statement/page/12#post3665029

Backpacks either disappear when you swap to Hobosacks, or they clip through the Hobosack itself & become part of it. Been around since launch

Backpack skins just are not meant for engineers to show off.

I would love it more, if only my Hobosack didn’t hide it -_-

For future armor: Id like to request an armor design based off of charr/asura 1st, then human/sylvari/norn dead last.

Thank you.

I would like a response to this because I have quite a few tickets & still want that moa pet.

Do I sell to get rid of them, or keep so I still have hope of winning?

Oh my goodness…
Happy Valentines you too!

I actually bought 2 of these. 1 for main & another for leveling alts. Saves me so much time either way, so greatly worth it to me!

I gave it a shot…or did my turret do it for me! >_>

Anet should convert warrior signets to kits, only way you would see your actual back item is either on active or passive (Whichever makes the hobo-sack seen more). Then after a month, more & more people will join our cause & something will get done since warriors are the majority (most listened to) then convert them back to current signets.

I still think icons like elementalist attunments is best option, but only if that is coupled with option to have kits on/off.

I only PvE so that’s what my suggestions are focused on:

1. Ranger bows – In general are currently frowned upon if seen using one.
2. Engineer Turrets – Bugs galor on ALL turrets. Healing Turret is only used cause it provides good support/cleanse yet its over-change doesn’t scale with healing power at all, and its best heal (Med Kit if solo).
3. Engineer Hobosacks – Option to have on & off. When on, let it use dye it.
