Guild Wars 2

Oh man, never taken seriously.
Can we please stay on topic?

Also why do guardians hit foes around them multiple times with Whirling wrath? I thought they throw projectiles and each one should hit individually?

I did some WvW today, and a warrior spinned on me, he was only half a milisecond on top of me but fully hit me for 4k dmg, it should count as 1 hit per spin I think.

I’m giving you gold here Anet, don’t mess up next build.
Do the right thing.

Finally the change I’ve been waiting for.
Thank you Anet, great decision!

Too many eles running around spamming AoE everywhere, feels like the game became too shallow.
Engi’s grenades are still overpowered, I think another 10% reduction is in place.

Also if possible, please shrink the necro curse symbols, about the size of thief’s infiltrator’s arrow.

The current situation is ridiculous, Iooking forward to the changes.

I’ll just leave this here:
http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/79189-fotm-lvl-80/

I hope you get it now. (hint: party setup)

They did say they’ll nerf and improve other aspects and bring in more viable builds.

This thread is way ahead of its time, wait until you actually see the changes and then talk.
So much drama over something you didn’t get to taste yet.

Have you ever watched some of those sick thief vids?

Engi is still viable but requires more skill to use properly.
I agree that Ranger and Necro are just completely no viable for any real use that other classes can’t perform better.

Yeah I was thinking more of from a pve point of view…Thieves are good in pvp but no one really wants them in a dungeon group for example..and people actively KICK rangers..which is just really sad imo

Not true either, since Shadow refuge combined with swiftness, helps quite a bit in skipping content safely, that wouldn’t be possible for the party otherwise.

When I farmed my gift for Quip, I was lucky enough to party with a thief every time in CM, skipping quite a bit with Refuge, which made the runs faster.
We did the same to rez party members in tight spots.

I do think it’s their only redeeming value in a dungeon though…

Getting a Legendary in this game is the equivelent to digging the foundation of a football stadium with a spoon.

It’s long and boring.

You want Legendary?

How about completeing 10 insanely hard jumping puzzles in less than 30 minutes? How about having to solo a champion mob that one shots your face if you don’t dodge out of the way?
How about a world event dragon boss that’s actually hard to kill and requires massive teamwork and cooperation?
How about going on a treasure hunt in a 5 man dungeon chasing a mob with a big loot bag through a gauntlet of tough enemies and clever traps?

So you want Super mario wars 2.

Don’t call us, we’ll call you.

alcopaul.2156:

make 8 alts. 8 * 30s = 2 gold and 40s for you.

EDIT: i forgot that you can delete them lol

13g per slot.
That’s some long term investment, even just for 2 extra slots considering this might get fixed soon.

I got 16 characters, I don’t even bother doing this, simply tedious work for beggars who can’t figure out how to make real gold.

Grats

I love the hammer effect as well on my Guardian, and is quite epic combined with Sunrise’s effect.

Shame most of the time your armor color looks like poop unless you directly change the color scheme for best results depending on the environment.

SteepledHat.1345:

Make alt, have run to ori node, mine ori, delete alt, repeat…..

Sounds like an exploit.

All that effort for measily 30s + – which can be earned in a few minutes.
Hope you enjoy that “exploit” lol.

So many ways to make good money in this game, and you fellas worry about a few extra silver. Well maybe this thread will help to push the ori prices back up with a fix, so I guess it does serve some purpose.

Cool, might be the end of cookie cutters, if they balance the other weapon skills to become more viable.

I wonder if D/D ele will get Engineer’s smiter’s boon on Grenades.

Feels like I’m the only Guardian who keeps changing Weapons and utilities on the go, depending on the situation.

Many players are set on 2 weapon sets and certain skills that they don’t even try to think for a moment what will work better for them in 1v1 compared to a zerg compared to a DE in PvE.

Christos de Soufre.3802:

The issue is this.

It doesn’t matter how hard you work towards your legendary. RNG has a bigger chance of making all of that work meaningless than it does of doing anything else.

After yet another 32 failures out of 38 attempts (in addition to my 19 10-set and other 9 1-set failures), leaving me with 9 clovers out of a possible 237, I am giving up on any legendary due to the sheer ruthlessness of the RNG. Small amounts of T6 mats do nothing to make up for the ceaseless grind for skill points.

I’ll try again if legendaries are ever even a LITTLE less RNG-dependent. This is the first (and hopefully only) time I’ll ever have this big of a problem with anything in a game.

That’s because you did 10 sets, which invites bigger failure at high risk.

With 2 legendaries at hand, on both I got all the 77 clovers in just less than 250 attempts. All in single clover attempts rather than 10, standing at the 33% odds as originally stated by Anet.
Face the consequences if you decide to take a bigger risk.

As for skill points, simply do all the skill challenges on your alts for the philosopher’s stones, and by now your main should have at least 200sp for the bloodstone.
You get 5 slots as minimum to work with, can’t go wrong there.

This game is superior in content compared to other MMO’s out there.
Problem is that most gamers don’t give a kitten about it these days, me included.

While I do appreciate all the effort put into actually creating a world to immerse with.. it is not what most gamers are looking for, and frankly am quite disappointed with Anet working even further on polishing the stories on next patch, rather than the actual game mechanics.

There is nothing wrong with current legendaries.
And there is no way to make a skill based way to achieve one besides gold farming.

I really hope the scavenger hunt will never come and was simply a slip of the tongue, would like to keep the T6 mats at sane prices for other gear, and to avoid a “legendary rush”.

You want to make the game already easier than what it is?
Can I quit now if that’s going to happen?

Give me an example of any class that you’re having trouble with, in which situation and I’ll give you some great tips on how to handle the situations you were describing.

Unbelievable.

Look at the Mace.

The Mace!

It’s a friggin’ disco ball!

Nothing wrong with that, if it lit up and rotated maybe.

It is plenty wrong. Why should players that want to use maces be punished by a “joke” weapon while players who want to use greatswords get this really awesome, or dare I say, legendary-looking weapon?

The disco ball skin belongs in the Gem Store for teh lulz, not on a Legendary.

Same thing with the pistol – it’s hard to look legendary when you’re wielding a clown gun. Unless you’re a maniac clown named The Joker.

Working on it as we speak
One of the best ones out there!!!!!!!! (Already owns Sunrise and The Juggernaut, time for a change)

Also since pistols are small and hardly visible on any race regardless of size, it will be a perfect fit for my Asura thanks to the wicked effects of the gun.

Athens.6125:

How are you guys reporting people who are using the teleport hack? I never was able to click on them long enough to report them, but out of curiosity I setup camp close to a node out of the way and turned on my recorder and sure enough within 5 to 10 minutes of watching my playback, I had my first teleport in, gather the node and poof gone again.

Funny thing, I did the same thing on a Vista and had a few teleport in and out there as well.

Also, there’s no guarantee that the node people are a hack either – I know some people that will park alts next to resource nodes, and then log in every so often to mine them, then log out of that character again.

This.
Got reported myself a few times as I farm on 16 alts.
I’m not worried about getting banned as I don’t cheat, but doesn’t make it less comfortable.

So don’t be so sure everyone are hackers, if you happened to catch their name after clicking the report button (short, doesn’t make much sense or simply highly increative) , along with crap armor, then there’s a good chance they hack.

Honestly there is no reason to farm. Whats the point of playing a game if you’re being miserable for 200 hours to be happy for 1 hour that you got a legendary or w.e enjoy the game rather than the items this coming from a dude who LOVES loot.

Was giving an example to a possible situation.

I got a solid gold making routine (whenever I’m into it) so I’m not really worried as I’m already done with all the mats req. for my 3rd legendary besides the 500 shards.
But being worried of what is exploit and what isn’t?
kitten that, I’ll do my own thing and enjoy the game the way I see fit.

Thomassassinate.9370:

Whatever it is i want it.

And possibly full body armor glow? Would be a perfect sylvari exclusive.

Try the t2, it actually gives a faint glow, pretty cool, but never really took close attention in the dark.

Shiren.9532:

teviko.6049:

What I don’t get, or maybe what I am not really clear on, was the fact that with no warning, no obvious signs, they come into the game, and ban a bunch of people.

There was no quick patch, there was no warning from forums. People, whether they thought it wrong or not, just want to make some gold. And then A.Net gives them the ban hammer? That’s obviously poor management in my opinion, seeing as people were following a recipe in game, they weren’t dupping the snowflakes or the gold they were getting. It was legit, even if it wasn’t ‘intended’.

That’s like saying using LoS to avoid fear from dragons is/was an exploit, when its been a tried and true method of killing dragons for decades.

ArenaNet is using fear now. They want players to be afraid of doing anything that might be an exploit because there is a chance it might be deemed an exploit and thus cause them to get banned. Unfortunately every time things like this happen it creates a lot of anxiety in the game where people are worried about doing things that could be considered exploit.

The line you cross to determine what an exploit is couldn’t be any more vague or inconsistent than it is right now, so now players are either ignoring everything that could be very profitable (even some speed clears could fall into exploit definitions) and staying poor, or they are playing Russian Roulette with ways of making money or completing content, in the hopes to keep up with the ever inflating price of things and to not fall behind the rest of the pack who are using all the creative ways to make a profit.

At the end of the day it’s lose lose. ArenaNet is intentionally vague and poor at communication over issues like this one so it’s just something you have to get used to or move onto another game.

You wanna know something?
Who gives a kitten???

I’d rather take a shortcut and risk my kitten in this game than sit with a thumb up my kitten and pretend that playing by the rules will get me anywhere.
If I ever find a shortcut, count on me to be the first to use it, this game is unplayable without fast gold making, just not.

I’ll gladly accept a ban if the day comes, and get this game done and over with as long as I could create 10 hours of pure fun compared to 200 hours of misery farming like an idiot.

Couldn’t stop thinking about this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izBJGvm9dQo
As soon as I saw combo fields.

Imo effects need to be greater to make any serious impact on battle.

Since it’s completely optional, at this point the rarer these weapons become, the better for Anet as a business.

You don’t have to get one, and it shouldn’t make anyone quit the game for.

In a year from now, these weapons actual worth should be around 2kg and people will drool over their owners.
It’s a good marketing tactic – have a bunch of players run around with legendaries, then pump the prices of req. on TP.

Boom, no one else get their chance besides TP farmers and hardcore players = profit for Anet.

Farming remaining karma for quip, next I’ll get started with serious fractals grind for infused backpiece.
Barely touched it since its release.

nearly 3 legendaries and didn’t even fully explored everything the game has to offer.

I must be crazy right?

Brilliant, thank you for the tip.

I win 1v2’s all the time, Guardian is OP.

Enviromental weapons skills buffs (rock, skull, unexploded mortar).
Totally expecting that in next patch, let the important stuff be dealt with first.

All I would like to say here, is that I nearly own my 3rd legendary, and I still don’t have a single ascended piece.

Why? because I firmly believe in what I said.
we’ll see when I’ll be arsed enough to bother getting the minimal ignorant boost that the ascended offer.

This is why I think you’re taking it out of proportion, but you of course, entitled to your own opinion and stick to your guns.

I still can’t believe people complain about +5% (if even) boost to a character.
This is what seriously making some of you quit?

Are we real here? where’s the hidden camera?

Senadgar.9360:

I was feeling guilty until I seen the above with 1900 hours. Before you hate know I am a stay at home work at home dad with a computer repair business that mostly is just start a laptop wipe it, reboot it, call the client. I have 3 kids who play outside in the fenced backyard. A wife who is a nurse. Yes its a dream life. I made a good wife investment.

5 level 80’s been just playing around on the last few. Yes, my wife plays as well. Although not nearly as much as I have.

And yet, achieved so little

To sum it up – did you just say you were grinding 500 fractals for a title?

Here we go, same as gamefaqs.

He’s exciting you guys to respond to him and stirr kitten up, please stop this madness before it’s too late and don’t comment such troll posts.

For god’s sake.

Colbear.6425 – I actually meant that 800g is indeed too low and anyone that is willing to pay 2000g for that specific weapon, would have already placed the order.

There was a wave of rich people getting their desired legendaries, but you can already see by checking buy orders compared to the introduction of legends on TP that they are decreasing.

P/D > all
Stealth >> #1 >> #1 >> #1 >> Stealth >> #1 >> #1 >> #1 >> Stealth >> #1 >> #1 >> #1 >> Stealth >> #1 >> #1 >> #1 >> Stealth >> win

Throw poison, immob and SoS utils, along with TG elite and it’s a guaranteed win.

Forget all that, go P/D and turn godmode on.

One offer atm for 800g.
You guys do realize that there are very few individuals that are willing to pay these prices right?

It’s your call, and I hope you manage to sell it for that high, but take that risk in mind.

They slashed 1.7k points off my account, never to be returned (after being promised for a fix).
I’m done with racking up points.

From agent of entropy ? Elaborate please

Dailies, transmutes (got 16 alts), entropy.
Hidden achievements basically, 2 of em actually equal to gold spent.

They slashed 1.7k points off my account, never to be returned (after being promised for a fix).
I’m done with racking up points.

I’m talking about PvE aspect only.

As a warrior, I do DE’s at SoD and kill the vets in less than 10 secs traited with quickness and a GS equipped. I cannot do the same with an axe.
Someone mentioned forceful greatsword trait, that definitely does raise the dps as well.

Outside of PvE I wouldn’t dare walking around with a GS, terrible weapon for that.

Btw I run GS and dual axe, best combo for me when I mindlessly farm karma for legendary.

A party of norn warrior, asura thief, sylvari ranger and human necromancer face a dragon from destroying the world

- Every three hours.

How many players does it take to spot a thief?

- Tab

.
What is faster than lightning, quicker than a plane that disappears like hudini?

- A hacker.

I think the OP is more dead than the game.

All of you replying to a troll who can check in his book “mission accomplished”, by stirring everyone up and getting 148 posts at this point with only one simple comment about the game.

Where’s his response? go ahead, look for it.

kiba.2768:

the question is, what kinds of chest are precursors dropping from?

chest?
splendid chest?
magnificent chest?
large chest?

large chests and higher tier chests can drop precursors(exotics) iirc. could be wrong, but i’ve done so many jp’s and only ever gotten exotics from that tier and higher. never noticed if mag chests dropped exos.

Any.

Horheristo.3607:

3 days worth of work, no biggy.

If you have a consistent way of earning 50g a day I’m all ears.

Sorry, my personal way of middle fingering the traders. Not made public.
It’s actually 60g a day, 50 when I’m lazier.

Sauzo.6821:

Horheristo.3607:

Someone I’ve met sold his jugger for around 1.5 or 1.8k and went to make another one (to keep both weapon and the profit).

I just made Jugger, after Sunrise, and now heading for quip.

Would not dream on selling any of them, after pouring my soul into each one.
It’s a shame that you cheapen your whole experience to that level.

Omg, how much playtime do you got? You’ve made Juggernaut AND Sunrise and now working on Quip? I must be doing something wrong cause i just made Kudzu and i got 1200 hours playtime. What are you farming to pull that kinda cash in? I mean Jugg and Sunrise precursors are like 800g alone unless you got VERY lucky at the mystic toilet. Anyways, you should sell your gold strats at that rate haha.

893

Very german farming routines with alts, not for the weak of heart.
But no more than 3h a day.

P.S
Gold wise – Just need the icy runestones and stack of ori ingots + ancient wood boards

The world bosses in this game should be all about a big boss with a few strong moves, and TONS of adds and other environmental effects.

I have gotten Dusk from the chest at the bottom of Hope falls in Malchor’s leap.
and a bunch of exotics from other JPs, so can’t see why not.

Bloodstealer.5978:

I am trying to figure out if this is one of those joke threads or if this player is for real.
Have you never played an MMO with a trading post or Auction House.
If you dont like the prices, dont buy the items, go get them yourself like they had to or the players that might of originally gone off and farmed them, crafted them etc etc.

Bnning players for trying to make pixel money in a virtual economy is just NO! unless of course its is via the more shady bot side of things.. then by all means wield the ban hammer with fury… if I want to use my money to buy up all the copper ore on the BTC and resell it all for a profit, then that’s my decision and its certainly not an exploit!

Who do you determine to be at fault in a traders market.. the trader for trying to make a living through supply or the customer willing to pay the prices, thus driving the demand.????

Just NO!

Power to the people!!

JUST YES!!!

In addition to what Minos.5168 said –
Any trader who owes a huge sum of gold may as well turn to RMT and make a fortune.
Feeding off the very same plague the community tries to fight.

I know I’d do it, and I know a player who lost all attachment to the game but still makes tons of money will do it, what else is left?

Pasha.2367:

Playing the TP like it is a mini-game isn’t anything new. The difference is that drop rates have been nerfed into oblivion. It makes the difference between the wealth of the ‘working class’ hero and the ‘day-trader’ player laughable. Those players who don’t want to or don’t know how to manipulate the market are left toiling away in frustration for a mere pittance of what the TP players make simply logging in to check their sales.

How much do you make in an hour? My average is 20g
And guess what? playing the TP? it’s wrong, dead wrong, so wrong that only people who make profit off it seem to think it’s right.

So I can manage by myself thanks buddy.
And just because I didn’t post it enough:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/bltc/Buy-Armored-Scales/first#post1146808

Tell me that is not unethical.

3 days worth of work, no biggy.

Conclusion: You get the Darwin award for playing this game legit.
