Shield Master says ‘Hi’!

How the heck do you get Shield Master achievement?

Let’s anwser that with science!

Fastest would be engi on the Stealing Light story step (infinitely respawning critters):
-With Over Shield, Magnetic Shield has 24 cd and Static Shield has 32s cd. Both can be activated again to create a 5 target attack.
-Casting times aside, you can hit 5/24 enemies per second with Magnetic Inversion and 5/32 enemies per second with Throw Shield. Together, that makes 35/96 enemies per second.
-You need 5,000 killing blows for the achievement.

So, it will take you 5,000 / (35/96) = 13714 seconds to max out Shield Master with optimal efficiency. That’s 3.8 hours of critter farming.

So yeah, some people have that achievement for sure. But they either got it from LONG play times or from sacrificing their sanity.

Fire sigils count as kills of the weapon you use them with (+5 kills with 5 second CD for superior, but CD is shared across all weapons). I maxed torch, focus and shield all in little under 3 hours starting at 1k each when doing “A Vision of Darkness”. Undead spider hatchlings spawn in endless swarms (maybe 15-ish at time) and if you glitch the quest you can stand on their spawn point so they instantly respawn once killed. If you kill them all with AoE you can get out of combat and switch weapons if you’re quick enough.

This way is super fast for weapons which have “pulsing” AoE skills like necro warhorn and guardian torch. I think torch took like 20 minutes to max from 700 kills.

For someone wanting to max all weapons using that story quest you can use it as really slow key farm as well, max certain weapons and then delete the level 20 character and create a new one. :P

For anyone interested farming the story:

I’ve even managed to land one shot back stabs to stealthed full zerker thieves by trying to predict where they’re trying to go and back stab my allies. You’ll get pretty good at it once you play thief yourself, usually they make the same mistakes I would make.

It’s quite easy to win a thief duel (and to be killed), usually it’s just matter of who interrupts the most important skills a row. You can kill a thief under 5 seconds just by basilisk venom, sleight of hand and D/P skill 4 while spamming 1-1-1-1-1-1-1. Well, at least that’s the way I find easy to kill other stealth spam thieves in sPvP.

I haven’t so far touched GW2 files since installing them when I went to the beta, but what made me curious was the 12gb at my C:\. There’s GW2.dat at C:\ taking most of the space.

The names on the pic are in Finnish, but you’ll get the picture. That’s the content of the GW2 file at C:\.

After trying to clean my almost full 60gb SSD (the C:\) of old windows updates, I realized that magically GW2 has 12gb worth of files on my C:\ and more 21gb of files on E:\, even though I only chose it to be installed to E:\, which haves a tera space on it.

I was planning on re-installing the whole game, but then I thought it might just do the same thing all over again. Why it is divided on both C:\ and E:\, even though it was supposed to be installed only to the other? GW1 sure has some files on C:\ as well, but they’re just small things like skill templates, taking only really small space.

Couldn’t also find GW2 uninstaller and the game was not listed in the windows deletion tool. :I

Eventually I ended up buying Acer Aspire V3-772G as all the hardware were superior and the price was “only” 999€. I’m still concerned about the heat and as previous owner of a laptop which started to produce burnt plastic smell, I do know the precautions. :P

Thanks all for the answers.

I use a similar system, and while it won’t play GW2 on maximum settings, it will play it very well, with only the usual lag spikes at world events. You shouldn’t have any real problems.

I’m not really looking to beef up the settings to the max, just to play on “quite nice” settings. :P

I found a site I used to see how different computers run GW2 and I found Acer Aspire V3-772G to have quite nice hardware for it + it’s 300€-ish cheaper. The only problem is that the CPU is weaker and I dunno how well Intel Core i5-4200M 2.5 GHz Dual-Core handles zerging.

Yet another laptop thread

Ibbuli.4027

(I searched some threads about the subject, but most of them seemed to be in the America region)

I already own a desktop which runs GW2 on maximum settings smoothly, but as I’m leaving for exchange I decided to buy a laptop for university stuff and also for playing GW2. As I live in Finland and I’ll be leaving abroad 26th of this month, I don’t want to risk ordering a laptop from too far away in case of transporting problems. I don’t know that much about computers as well.

After some searching this laptop seemed like a good option:

Asus N750JK-T4190H

  • 17.3" 1920 × 1080 Full HD, 16:9 LED screen
  • Intel Core i7 (4th generation) 4710HQ / 2.5 GHz (quad core I think)
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M – 4 Gt DDR3 SDRAM
  • 8 GB of RAM
  • 24 GB +750 GB SSHDD 7200 rpm

The price is around 1200€.

According to some sources, the GPU should handle GW2 quite nicely, 55 FPS on high settings and a bit under 30 if I would put everything on max. The RAM should be more than enough for GW2. I generally don’t know much about processors, so I’d need some help with that. Most importantly it would be good if I could play in WvW/ other zerging without having like 5 FPS.

Another problem is that I couldn’t find any previews for the laptop. I was interested if it would heat up too much as I have bad experiences with laptops which you could cook eggs on.

If someone would know a better option, it would be awesome. Generally I have been searching laptops costing 800-1300€.

Any help with condition build? (WvW)

Posted by: Ibbuli.4027

I guess I’ll try full dire with survival skills first. In my opinion the sharpened edges’ bleeding duration is way too short to make much difference to get rabid gear, although they’re easier to get than dire.

Crow's nest in Zephyr Sanctum "fixed"

I didn’t find anything about this topic with the forum’s awesome search function and scrolling around.

Me and my brother were trying to reach the highest point in the Zephyrite ship and once we almost reached the crow’s nest, we noticed that nothing is solid anymore, not even the crow’s nest. I’ve seen screenies of people who reached the area the previous time zephyrite sanctum was around.

Why was this place “fixed” as there weren’t no actual glitches as far as I know.

PS. I tried to show the crow’s nest is not solid by targeting blink trough it (the cursor was gray), but my mouse doesn’t show up on the screenie.

Any help with condition build? (WvW)

in Ranger

Posted by: Ibbuli.4027

Ibbuli.4027

I’ve been looking around the ranger forums for a while and seen similar condition builds compared to what I’ve been toying around in the GW2skills build editor. The thing is I haven’t found a clear consensus if condition rangers work in general WvW (roaming) or not. I have been using zerker/soldier mix build on my ranger so far which I don’t like that much.

Mainly 2/0/6/6/0 build with new poison master and survival of the fittest trait have looked promising:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNMQNAV3fjMq0yaNLGsQ1aABhaVA0uGS2u2dPcDf9JXKDMA-ThSAABaoEUhjAQAHEgc0NAh5PAeAAXp8DJ1f6Z/huvAAAA-e

I was thinking of using SB with buffed condition/bleed duration and axe/torch. Also switching poison master for either one of the other grandmaster traits has crossed my mind.

The equipment choice is another thing I’m thinking about. Some of my guildies say that I should get apothecary, while I was thinking of going full dire with either undead or krait runes. In the forums I’ve seen a lot of rabid builds as well. Another option I was considering was travelers for +25% movement speed to get rid of the signet, but then again I’d lose damage in general.

Has anyone used similar build than the one I linked above and how it has worked out?

Random exuberance/meditation build

I agree that the condition removal ain’t that good at the moment. Another option would be grabbing the Signet of Resolve as heal and/or some condition cleansing sigils to weapons.

*Edit
Forgot to mention that I was also thinking of using sword/focus or staff for the swiftness in WvW. Also forgot that the purity sigil has internal cooldown of 10 seconds and not 5. :/

Random exuberance/meditation build

in Guardian

Posted by: Ibbuli.4027

Ibbuli.4027

After guardians got that +300 vitality trait, I’ve been thinking of creating a new build using it and Exuberance runes. I guess the build would be for WvW mostly, but it could be used in PvE as well.

After fiddling around with the build editor I just decided to slap meditations to the same build.

This is the current version, which is roughly based on the gear my guardian has:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQJARSlsApaolDxdI8DRRDRlTNYHBZQXe9BkABAA-TxCBAB5o+T07PogpBsUmJhSQAuEApoLIBTQIp0ghHAQAHBAA-e

In my opinion it looks quite promising what comes to pretty much all the stats. I’m not so sure how well the meditation heal skill would work out, so I took Shelter.

Before wasting kazillion gold on buying those 1500 sprockets (c’mon using the sprocket generator would take like 6 months), I’d like to ask if anyone has tried to do similar build and how it have worked out.

Why do people complain...?

in Thief

Posted by: Ibbuli.4027

Ibbuli.4027

Yes but you can’t design a mechanic around the notion that everyone dealing with it is a pro player.

ANet dropped the ball here. Even Revealed was merely an afterthought.

Instead of making Stealth a Thief’s defensive tool they made it the Thief’s universal tool for everything from setting up damage, over healing , blinding and condition cleansing.

It does too much and is yet too essential for Thief survival for them to play without.

The thing is getting all the bonuses you mentioned already takes 60 trait points (with 0 in power trait line), not to mention you can only pick some, not all of the stealth bonuses as most of them are stuffed to Shadow Arts. If you just pick up all the condition cleans and regens, you can’t maintain stealth as you need the initiative gains when stealthing and such. (Or reduced recharges on deception skills)

We also need craftable exotic back pieces… And a backpiece search option on the trading post.

I agree with this 100%… and also why the back items generally costs like three or four times more than the other trinkets? Usually you’ll pay at least 100g for ascended one anyways.

Why do people complain...?

in Thief

Posted by: Ibbuli.4027

Ibbuli.4027

It’s the nature of stealth + burst.

It’s the same reason the Assassin archetype has been despised by so many in EVERY other MMO. ANet just made it worse by giving Thieves so much in combat stealth as well.

The reason people hate Thieves is because they might we wandering around, minding their own business when BAM, they instantly lose 50% of their health. This causes many less experienced players to panic and stresses them out. They make mistakes and then die quickly to another round of Backstab burst.

I get why that’s frustrating. I don’t blame people for expressing that.

I blame ANet for creating the worst, most unfair and exploitable stealth mechanic in any MMO I’ve played. In no other MMO was stealth ever such a cause for frustration both for the user and the receiver.

I think the keyword here is “less experienced players”.

More craftable back items!

in Crafting

Posted by: Ibbuli.4027

Ibbuli.4027

As suggestions sub-forum is apparently moved to archives, I’ll just post this here.

At the moment the only back item skin I enjoy aesthetically is Rox’s quiver and sadly I only bought one of them. As we got two new ascended back items we can craft ourselves in the Wintersday patch, why not add more cool looking ascended back items to the list? Basic idea here being that all of the crafting professions would get different types of back items.

In addition we could have several versions of the same item with different color variations, hopefully with stats we could pick up so we wouldn’t need to craft that cool black colored quiver with magi stats to transmute to some pink flowery-one with zerker stats. At the moment if you want a quiver, you gotta go with the brown color.

Some examples:
Leatherworker - quivers
Weaponsmith - blades/similar stuff what Anton has in GW1.
Artificer - totems similar to the Shadow of Grenth, maybe some backpacks filled with potion bottles
Tailor - more quaggan/charr/any other backpacks?
Armorsmith could have some kind of shields, but I’m pretty sure these would clip with every single thing in the game.

Any other ideas? Also sorry if someone had made a similar thread, but you know how the forum search works.

I’m wondering what is the size for the collector’s edition’s art prints and the frame it included. I was planning on hanging some of dem babies on my wall, but sadly there’s only one frame and the size for the prints seem to be some stretched A4 paper. I think it’s called “A4 legal (215,9 × 355,6)” or something, but I can’t find frames of that size.

All the frames I’ve seen around here have been sized after A4, A5 etc.

Any ideas?

There were several secret areas, usually behind waterfalls, with geysers and what not in the rapids.

Now all the geysers have been removed from one of them and all the baubles are gone, too. I think they didn’t even count as secret areas anymore when I checked them out again.

Why they got removed? They only gave like 5-20 baubles each.

Edit
I visited one of the secret areas just now, suddenly they have their geysers back? We went there with my friend two days ago and the place was empty. Now instead of the old 5 baubles it gives 20.

Payment approval failed 24/7

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Ibbuli.4027

Ibbuli.4027

I’m getting kinda bored of getting payment approval failure every time I try to buy new set of 800 gems. I try all the unholy rituals from waiting for 15 secs to sacrificing lambs to Abaddon and nothing works. I end up writing a ticket and then I can buy something once and the next time I want to buy some gems, I have to write the same ticket over and over and over again. Basically every time I’m buying gems I have to wait for four hours.

The time interval between my purchases doesn’t matter. I’ve had two months or more break of buying anything from the gemstore and I get the “payment approval failed” every single time.

The Anet copypasta messages from support blamed my bank and when I sent a message to my bank they blamed that it’s Anet’s fault. My bank said something in the lines of “they have probably had changes in their billing system and you tried buying during the maintenance and it didn’t work out”. I’ve send different kinds of messages to support, but I always get the “too many failed attempts” response. It seems my successful purchases count as failed attempts, too, as the next time I’m trying to buy always ends up as a “payment approval failed”.

Is there any way to fix this? I don’t really want to spam support tickets every time I want to buy another set of 800 gems.
