This has to be one of the most kittentarded changes they have ever made.
Each member of our team spent 900 gems on revive orbs to get to Fractals scale 80, because we enjoy the challenge.
All other dungeons have been nerfed.
Slowly starting to say farewell to this poor game.
Please tell me how using a cheap trick to progress = a challange. I’d say it is the opposite
Jade Maw never was a skill challange. So if you used the so called exploits there, who cares?
Unfortunatly slaying him is mandatory to progress and to add more challenge to the other fractals- which is now impossible.
Anet just reduced his endgame pve content, which was already lousy before that fix.
are you mesmer or ranger?
in our group these two classes still dont have the achievement with over 200 fractals completed, so we assume that illusions/minions/pets trigger the achievement aswell.
we didnt wanted to test that theory further though…
It’s not ready yet. We’re still working on the fix for this issue.
I so called it. We have a fix ready for next patch was so much bs. I think I can speak for most people here when I say it’s not the wait that gets us angry it’s the lies that do.
to be honest- the wait is making me angry too.
in my oppinion they should put all their resources on fixing this. (like stop working on the winterfest event, hire more people to work in this etc)
this is really game breaking for me and should be number one on their priority list.
i know that most disconnects are not caused by gw2- but not having the option to rejoin your party makes playing fractals a pain in the a**, especially in higher fractals when they get more time consuming.
i feel like playing a hardcore game where you loose all your progress when you fail.
just with the little difference that the fail isnt dying (so your fault) but caused by random issues you cant control.
but probably people like me arent the majority and therefore this issue is not the top priority…
They said it should be fixed in the next patch.
Now the problem is : when is the next patch ? Considering we had nothing this week, I fear we should wait until 14th December >_<
jonathan sharp informed the pvp community that they will fix the endless loading screen bug on monday.
if we are lucky thats a big patch day and we get the dc issue fixed aswell.
Grawl fractal: on the shaman event some shamans will instantly teleport to their victim, even if they are dazed, stuned or feared. i dont know how you intended this event, but even if you want them to teleport please make stuns etc work in order to get the extra chest
Ascalon: Mesmers cant create Illusions with dodging while being a Charr.
Dregde: Bomb path- if you put down several bombs at the same time they only count as one bomb exploding
Asura Fractal: Sometimes tom bugs so you cant throw the crystals in their supposed machine. Dont know how to produce this bugs though.
Swamp Fractal: One time we bugged Mossman so that he was only visible for 2 seconds before going invisible again all the time and he threw his agony axe out of stealth which made it kinda impossible to dodge.
I think we produced this bug due to kiting him to the “backyard” of his house.
Dredge and giant fractal: Our mesmer isnt allowed to use his number 2 staff ability anymore because then he bugs into a wall and does not get out again preventing the whole group from progressing (kinda like he dc’ed…)
(NB0112) Elite: Dropping out of plague form does not give you stability, unlike dropping out of Lich form still maintains the full 30 seconds.
Can now be removed.
Im not sure about it, but i think i encountered a bug with Plague form.
Same traits, different runes (but shouldnt affect that), he is human and im asura.
Plague radius is different.
Now, this has no indication of difficulty, but both swamp and aquatic are easy as heck, and the fastest fractals. Whenever I see them Im more than happy.
Eesh, I built both of those… guess I need to toughen them up a bit…
easy and fastest doesnt mean they are not fun ;-)
i really like to be dolphin :-D
i may be mistaken but i think the deep sea gets darker with more fractal levels which is pretty cool.
even though i have to admit the endboss is kinda boring. too big health pool and too few abilities you have to pay attention to.
So this is the “how could we imrpove the fractals” thread?
I really like that you have to die as a whole grp before you are able to respawn.
Its much more rewarding if the main goal is not just to keep the boss infight and run fast enough from waypoint to boss.
Also i dont have a problem with gear progression.
But there are certain things i would love to see changed.
The most annoying thing is that if you dc or your game freezes (seems to be a common bug in the fractals) you cant join your party in the fractals any more and you have to start all over.
Additionaly to that overflow server have an impact on that too.
Also, i dont like the fractal level design how it is right now.
In my oppinion the highest “fractal level” player should be able to open an instance on his level. If his group manages to complete the dungeon even though they didnt have the proper gear or expierence they deserved it. If they have a wipefest because of lacking that they deserved that too =)
(maybe the players should be on the same level as the highest fractal level player after completion or just gain one fravtal level)
But right now it just makes it much harder to find a full group. For example a guild group of four level 8 players dont want to grind fractals just for tokens and have a hard time finding a 5th player which fits in the group. (this is even harder in this game with no looking fpr group channel or similar stuff).
Apart from that i really want the npc Blingg to shut up. Yeah i even want to have the possibility to punch him…
We just restarted Lion’s Arch to fix the dungeon portal. You will be (or have already been) disconnected while we do this. Thanks for your understanding.
We can watch the servers to see which players use more. If 5on5 is seeing more play, we can change the order and put them at the top of the lists. We’ll just keep an eye on it and see what the players gravitate towards.
Why dont you add an option to filter 8v8 or 5v5 (just like “hide empty/full servers”).
Dont get me wrong, i dont like to see that on top of your priority list- its just a suggestion
mabye each bleeding should have a chance equal your crit chance to generate 1% life force?
this would help the conditionmancer with poor stat scaling too.
topic says it all
since the halloween patch both keys do the same action, even though they are bound to different ones.
edith: because you cant see the 2nd key i mean: its the smaller/bigger sign
dont want to flame, but all things you’ve listed were your own fault.
e.g. first situation (starts at about 0:40) you’re showing. you’re wasting your putrid on a npc (and you dont even dodge him…) so you dont have it for the thief which is killing you from range while you backpaddel and do nothing.. placing your putrid mark on yourself would have given your teammates the chance to rezz you. (especially since there are 2 engis…)
next situation at about 1:48. do you really complain while there are 4 players vs 1 thief and all are standing afk looking on the point (no aoe or something). in this situation 3 players should have moved to another objective while one player keeps defending the point until the thief pops out again.
next thing i like to mention is your fight against the guardian. the guardian survives not long and you could have blinded him or used stability to stomp him.
the next time you make a vid complaining about other classes gimmicks you should learn to utilize your and your teams gimmicks.
Yes, yes, theory crafting with random skills and shouldadonethatderp kitten out of thin air, but you obviously have missed the point of the video. And you are flaming.
It’s plain as day, to anybody that watches, just what is obviously wrong with the picture. And I spell it out for you. But no, you focus on “Use dodge/stability!”, like that kitten’s on call 24/7 and infinite.
well i think the point of the video was showing abilites which are, in your oppinion, too strong or which you cant counter.
i was just listing the things which you should have done to counter these abilites, and because there are things to counter them i disagree completly with your video.
it would be something else if you would have shown e.g. a quickness stomp, which is hard to counter in my oppinion.
and no i didnt flame ;-) flaimg would be something like l2p, noob etc.
i just listed tips :-P
Except that the only stability necro can get is 3sec when entering DS, stomping takes 4sec and any experienced player waits with the interrupt until the last second.
Next time before you try to give tips maybe actually play the class for a while.
as a matter of fact, necro was my main class.
i didnt say that he should have stability stomped him, i said his team should have done that or blind stomp.
i just got the impression that the Op was complaining about the guardians downed 2 ability- like noone is able to stomp the guardian until he used this ability. which isnt true.
