Guild Wars 2

- How easy/hard do you find it to get the new minis? (Mystery Box & Giant Wintersday Gift droprate)
Hard. Stop with the rng boxes. :<
- Are you satisfied with the given options to get the minipets?
No, it pretty much forces you to spend real money and the chances are sucky even then.
- Have you bought/Will you buy any Mystery Boxes from the gemstore this Wintersday?
Undecided, but if I do, I’m not spending more than $10
- Would you have bought the minipets from the gemstore if you were able to buy them? (No random drop from chest – You simply buy the minipet you want.)
Yes, absolutely.

So I’m finally going to buy runes for my gear. I was looking at the Rune of Dwayna for my ele, since I normally run with a healing power/regen/condition removal build.

The rune bonuses are:
(1): +25 Healing
(2): +20% Regeneration Duration
(3): +50 Healing
(4): 5% chance to gain regeneration for 10 seconds when hit. (Cooldown: 30s)
(5): +90 Healing
(6): When you use a healing skill, you and all nearby allies gain regeneration for 5 seconds. (Cooldown: 10s)

Question: Does the increased regen duration apply only to me, or to anyone who I apply regen to?

Just wondering so I don’t potentially waste time…

Does story mode count as ‘completing a dungeon’? If I do explorable mode, do I have to complete every path or only one path for it to count?

Thanks.

I would love this too. o_o

Pumpkin carving and the Clock tower do not count towards Emissary.

I don’t know about you guys, but I was thrilled at the 10 slot bag. >_> I’ve been 80 for a month and am still running around with 8 slot bags.

Yes, I know I suck. >_>

I’m stuck at work. :<

Can anyone post images of what these new halloween weapon/armor skins look like? Thanks.

1. Hardly ever. Water’s AA in scepter is really the only damage dealer. Shatterstone gives you almost 3 seconds of not doing damage and really interrupts the flow of DPS. Same with water 2 with staff and the AA there is worse (to balance the aoe heal most likely). Earth gives a nice bleed on AA in scepter, but Earth 5 is too easy to interrupt or just have your enemy walk out of it. There’s a wasted 4-5 seconds of no damage. Staff earth isn’t much better. At least Earth 2 in staff goes off faster.

2. Can’t think of any real dps tips. It’s only useful for clutch heals or using Water 2 to temporarily kill your dps to apply vulnerability.

3. If you want to land CE, you NEED some way of keeping your enemy in the aoe for the full channel, as well as making sure they can’t interrupt. Earth 4 doesn’t always cut it.

4. I am a heavy staff user. It’s great for support, combo fields and utility. I use water a lot more when I’m supporting for heals and Water 4. I still find earth a little lack-luster though, unless you really go for condition damage. Earth really only gets used to buff the group with protection (arcana 10 points) or Earth 4 to cripple groups of enemies. Earth 5 can be useful as well in a group setting to get an enemy off a party member and let them run away.

So to answer your question, I always keep a copy of every weapon. I will often go S/F for projectile heavy fights in a group situation, since staff lacks that.

I’m still learning too, but hopefully that helps you.

Lol well I feel like kitten then. Thought it meant the button. Thanks.

Edit: WHAT?! De*rp is kitten’d?

This may be a dumb question, but I stick to staves almost all the time. Only started experimenting with the dagger recently.

Churning earth says:
“Hold and release to make the earth churn, crippling nearby foes before unleashing a seismic wave that damages and bleeds them. "

It seems like whenever I use this skill, no matter when I release the key, it does the full channel. I could just tap the key and not hold it at all and the skill still channels for the full duration. I was under the impression that the skill went off when you stopped holding down the key. Is this bugged or working as intended?

Happened to me too. Put in 4 masterwork platinum earrings I had leftover from crafting. Got nothing back. Reported it here and in-game and got no reply.

Really hope that this isn’t intended behavior. I’ve stopped using the forge until I hear if this is a bug or not.

I’ve noticed this too on Fort Aspenwood. Was going to take a screenshot, but he de-spawned before I could.

The forge must love the taste of platinum because it ate four of my masterwork platinum earrings and gave me nothing in return for it. :<

First time using the forge. Won’t be using it again until there’s a confirmed fix. Luckily the items I threw in were only worth a silver or two, but it’s still disappointing to see it go to waste.

That’s kind of vague. Generally when a computer just shuts off like that, it’s because it’s getting overheated. It can happen for other reasons too.

Do you get any error logs when you boot up again? Blue screens? Any useful diagnostic info?

This has bugged twice for me now. The first time, after traveling to the vision of the future, Trahearne would not interact with the Pale Tree to advance the quest. I went around killing random mobs, hoping it would trigger but it never did.

The second time, I got all the way to the part where there’s the huge battle versus the Orrians after Trahearne’s speech. I killed all the mobs in that battle and afterward the spectral warriors marched away…then just stopped. The green circle that encloses that battle area stayed on the map like there was still more things for me to kill, but I couldn’t find any. After wandering and looking for stray mobs for about ten minutes, I gave up. Please fix this. :<

This reminds me of that creepypasta with the haunted Majora’s Mask cartridge…
