Howler - Legendary that doesn't seem like one

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kajin.5301

Kajin.5301

Footfalls of Howler should be wolf paw print shaped but in the textured color of the moon with small visible craters in it.

On crit hit effect small ghostly wolf biting. Similar to shark spear effect but in a smaller scale.

Seriously, I just was just thinking about this today. There are so many vocal players crying for brighter, louder, more obnoxious legendaries when there are thousands of mature players who prefer a little subtlety and class. I myself thought it was a joke when players were saying that the re-skinned Ascalonian legendaries actually looked good. I prefer style and design over bright, ugly, spastic lights and noises.

Now that’s not to say I’m oppose to change. Just don’t go overboard, please.

They ninja fixed AC modded effects with the latest big patch. My AC reskinned predator no longer has the permanent flame thrower effect nor the glow aura around the scope at night. Not in AC explo nor in any open world/www during night time. I’m melancholic of it, wasn’t over the top at all, felt like it should’ve been all along.

I start to zap as soon as one spawns and will zap again when it bunkers down midway, it will get back up and continue towards the husk.

The reason I prefer the zap twice method is simply because each zap tick gives the golem might stacks so when it hits husk it will deal the most damage.

I’m right now in-game by Lyssa’s temple waiting for it to go to the defense state. As a player we have no info as to how much we have to wait.

Now many months ago when we’d be crazy enough to farm sparks and air elementals for chance at charged lodestones, we had like 4hours window after doing Dwayna to farm them before it went to defense event.

Right now I’m basically pushed to go buy the trait unlock from the npc for 3g +20sp, or I just wait up to 4hours here because I have no info at all since it’s not on a scheduled world boss timer. And guess what I can go make more gold in 1hour than waiting here for god knows how long. So what is the point of the trait unlock? Zero sense.

PS lvl 30 A Fragile Peace loot missing

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Kajin.5301

Kajin.5301

char: Hot Juqa
server: deso
race: norn
prof: engie
order: priory

The level 30 Personal Story mission “A Fragile Peace” taking place in Lion’s Arch where the player meets his/her racial mentor along with the other members of Destiny’s Edge ends normally with a loot reward of a Black Lion Key and a choice of minor sigil
source: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/A_Fragile_Peace

After the cutscene, what I got was the big pop up on screen with the grey steel shield and crossed weapons icon, but where underneath it should see the loot reward, well it was missing. And accepting/closing that popup gave me the XP bonus (wasn’t written on screen how much, only saw my xp bar progress shot up), but no item. My inventory did not contain a black lion key nor any sigil.

I did receive the game mail and the PS line is now Dredging Up the Past (priory line) so I can’t even try to reset/redo A Fragile Peace again.

I have made an ingame bug report about this. I hope you fix this and give me my black lion key.

Help Me: Kill the Gauntlet Pirates

in Festival of the Four Winds

Posted by: Kajin.5301

Kajin.5301

Worst case scenario ask for players to stack all the buffs you can get before going into the arena dome. Like 25 might, 30+sec swiftness, regen… So you have a great burst dps start.

Also, while the others remaining get healed back to full health upon a kill, the conditions already on them don’t get cleansed so remain for the full duration. This makes it super easy on my necro with epidemic. Now I never played condo on my ele so I’ve no clue if going condi for that fight would help you or not.

On my ele (staff zerk), I just cheezed it with fgs 4 through and 3 back on same line.

Marionette: Cmdrs on overflow, pavilion no

in Festival of the Four Winds

Posted by: Kajin.5301

Kajin.5301

The funny thing is, Marionette didn’t even need Commanders. It was all automated and anything in that event could be explained directly via map chat.

You could here as well. Only 3 sentences are actually needed.

‘Split into 6 groups’
‘Kill turret’
‘Throw seed to distract birds’

The last 2 could be summed up with ‘read the boss description’

You said it well. Only those 3 lines sump up the needed tactic for players to learn. Whereas for marionette you’d have to to type out all the tactics of each warden, multiple times. Further, the queen pavilion 6 bosses aren’t even new. Only new thing is the turret omnipotence that requires to take it out. I don’t even remember if there was a turret 9months ago. I just remember the bomb knockback spam of it.

I don’t see as many players in the domes above either. So the only thing that comes to my mind is Zephyrites sanctum, does it take away too many players off for a proper Blitz on the majority of the Queen Pavilions?

Marionette: Cmdrs on overflow, pavilion no

Posted by: Kajin.5301

Kajin.5301

So back in Lorna Pass living story with the Marionette weapon testing event with the lanes, we usually had one commander in each lane by time the event started, and this in most of the overflows/server mains.

My question is, why do we see so few pavilion. Blitz Gold is not hard to get, I find it easier than Marionette, and it’s good loot now with no more time waiting for spawn (not like Mario or other world bosses). So why so few commanders this time around? Don’t say it’s because of WwW S2, we’re all fatigued by it and I bet most already have their ranking locked.

Is there a diaspora of old timer players ?

I expected a lot more commanders in pavilion now with the boosted Blitz rewards.

Frustrated with Temple of Grenth

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kajin.5301

Kajin.5301

How to Grenth like a baws (solo or duo is enough):
Run past it all and go to the back where skill pt challenge coffin is.

There’s two alcoves. One on left and one on right.
You range dps from there on Grenth only.
Avoid doing aoe on Grenth so you can’t aggro the shades to the back.
Stay cool and do passive dps on Grenth while completely focusing on your dodging space management.
Run out of the two circle attacks or dodge sync.

If you mess up and get downed, rally off the icy elementals that spawn constantly from the back, there are very squishy.

This makes it actually a fun challenging fight done this way. No point trying to dps shades that spawn faster than you take out with a high risk of dying+wipe wp running back. Let the Zerg die on the stairs and middle, stay cool and be the brave hero to solo Grenth in the back.

S/D rifle sure is a lot more bursty but I bust too fast with it against good thieves.

This is the build I’m running with lately, it’s rifle only, no offensive kits. Currently only a good PU mesmer will give me a headache which results in both parting ways. But hey I no longer die.

I love it a lot, it’s great for roaming. Can escape incoming zergs. I won’t say it’s a control build in 1v1, it’s more of a denial build.

Anecdote: I finished making Predator, been sitting in the bag for a week. What bothers me is that rifle only (even S/D specced) just doesn’t do it enough for me in pve. (I main zerk staff ele / dire condi necro and my zerk engie currently). If i go bomb spec it’d ok dps but no point binding a Predator if it’s only for the glow. Playing ele spoiled pve for me I guess.

Improving Condition Damage (Suggest/Discuss)

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kajin.5301

Kajin.5301

Remember the Queen’s Gauntlet arena? Queen’s Pavillion living story, where we first met Scarlet? The Masticus dog fight, he’d have ton of hp so we had to eat up Bloodlust orbs to stack power/condition. They could introduce a variant of it, via a sigil, that would only be available in pve, not pvp (like Perplex is separated). It would only boost condition dmg and by a magnitude of 50%.

This won’t strain the system, 25 cap remains, but would help the players going condi be more on par with others. And not be discriminated out of fractals/dungeons.

Today’s patch correction included a fix to Mesmer clones so they no longer copy the runes of the Mesmer onto the clones. Say a Mesmer was uzing the fear proc when struck rune set, each clones would have their own separate source of that trigger with distinct ICD timers.

I was in Vex’s group. I had done all the achievements pre patch myself. We were organized and all on TS except Vex. Assigned each other tasks before Clockheart boss.

Simi followed Caithe with watchwork portal device for Scarlet’s room.
Pako Jr, Pincher, Vex and me we each grabbed an EMP nade and proceeded up the ramps. Told em to stand closest to the ships as possible and aim for the balloon part.

Then I ran down to take out fleeing officer and assist the Lionguard event.

I know the timer stops when all events are done so the party can safely run to each of the 5 chest rooms without worrying about time.

We had more than 6min with only the EMP and Scarlet/Caithe left to do. I personally had enough time to make 4 grenade runs. Every ship took 2 grenades each at the very least. Yet it didn’t count for the event and we eventually failed and chest rooms closed up.

Gate on CoF.

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Kajin.5301

Kajin.5301

Putting lore and open world content/story continuity tied to the CoF and CoE aside;
The contested system is a relic of a time when:
- there was no guesting
- bosses dropped good silver on kill (exempt from diminishing returns)
- completing each path gave money and tokens with diminishing returns
Which led people farm CoF and/Coe back to back (charged cores/lodes in case of Coe) The contesting of the entrance to the dungeons would help to slow it down.

Seeing as the three points above changed and people no longer do more than once each path each day, they should change the duration of uncontested gates so they stay open longer AND in the case of CoF, remove that long timer on Razen escort spawn, and change his start location to that tent where the nearest alltime open waypoint to CoF.

By the way any professions with ranged targeted warping ability can bypass the CoF contested gates by running forward and warping at the right corner of gate wall meeting the mountain. Sure getting it right is a pain in the dolyak for your eyes but it works. Ps: thieves make this a cakewalk.

How do I do the CoF solo-parts?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Kajin.5301

Kajin.5301

I play fire glyp staff 30/30/0/0/10.

After Magg is done talking about the Oracyte and says “we need to find some Magmacyte…” He will instantly warp to the nearest play to him. This means you gotta have crossed the lava and be behind the Magmacyte/on the rock; being too slow means Magg will warp in the closer to the middle and grab aggro of some elite ensuing a waste of time.

Now me I just slot mist form. Lightning flash can help but I don’t need it so can keep that utility slot rdy for the next area.

(I assume you know the path to run across without touching the fire fields and lava without the need of the extinguisher)

Before the lava area, I go air 4 and glyph heal for swiftness, then switch to earth.
As you start running in, you will notice the 2 nearest immobilize spitting elementals on the left and right, those will be the first to aggro on you and put you into combat speed.
But by time their spit reach you you should have reached the left of the first fire aoe.
This is the time where you hit Earth 3 for the reflect bubble which puts you in combat speed as you throw back the spit.
From that point on focus on your path, you will feel 2 seconds of respite as you reach that tick middle where you pop mist form and dash through without care of touching fire fields.
As mist form ends I make another step as I pan the camera 180 while switching to fire 4 burning retreat dodge towards the magmacyte.

In the event you take an immobilizing hit after earth3 bubble, hit mist form to endure its duration but you will then have to use Lightning flash in to cut the time loss, and beware of the small ground denivellation before the last fire field as it will mess up your Lightning Flash teleport, so jump up that crack and then warp.

Terrace being in Divinity’s Reach you have free wp and near instant loading opportunity of going into your Home instance for your one per day node attending. So you don’t have to park any alt in front of it, and can keep them parked at JP chests or better nodes or what ever.

My legendaries/dyes/T3 are a waste?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kajin.5301

Kajin.5301

You’re looking at it in “today dollars” (as much as we can apply actual money to a game’s currency). Some people spent what, maybe 200g on their legendary? Couldn’t you buy a precursor for like 30g at one point? Should those people get 2500g worth of “compensation”? If the legendaries are worth 5000g later, will people be mad because they “lost out” and should be compensated? Where to draw the line? Hmmm?

Quoting myself from pg1 in case you missed it:

Option B
Wardrobe allows any number of legendary skins uses/equips (just like announced currently), yet allow players who own multiple copies of a same legendary to contact customer support for a swap request. Destroy deleting a 2nd legendary and receiving another legendary. The new one being accound bound on acquire. No reselling on TP.
Eternity choice not permitted of course. Needless to say, this option would have to have a safeguard to prevent exploiters from pre-buying multiple cheapest legendaries in order to swap to more expensive to get ones.

Here’s your fix for present and future ‘exploiting whines’.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Kajin.5301

Come now the wardrobe system, account bound dyes and ascended/legendaries. That’s great QoL improvements, I welcome it. I’m just saying that it should not mean the right to dual wield legendaries when you only own one. It’s asking for too much.

What exactly is “too much” here? Ability to “fake dual wield” Zap? Quip? Would the same extend to Infinite Light? Black Lion Ticket weapons? Bonetti’s Rapier? If not, why – is there some monetary value that make one case more important than the other?
(And if yes, then we can basically go and throw out the whole wardrobe idea out of the window)

No, wardrobe is a great enhancement, no one would deny it; would’ve been even better from start.

The option A I mentionned earlier (pg1) was about Legendary grade items, but I do sympatize with people making Infinite Light and other expensive one handers. Frankly they could also included those and black lion skin ones in such a fashion. Would you agree? This preserves value AND wardrobe.

Option A
Legendary skins from wardrobe have a unique equipped restriction. Owners of 2 or more of the same legendary have to contact customer support to have the name of the extras changed in way to workaround fix the unique equipped. i.e. Asc ring Ring of Death[infused] and normal one, can wear both This is costly, they need to implement a workflow/process in support for such requests. Around time of infinite tools going acc bound, they did allow us to contact support for refunding the extras. So it could be possible.

Don’t Legendaries have better stats? If so, then your crying over spilt milk.

You can craft an ascended weapon in 3-4days (openworld boss train for your dragonite), 5 if you need the laurels too. With the upcoming wardrobe system, slap the skin onto it bam, both situations= highest stats. This was our point about the whole discussion.

A change like this is always gonna come with big controversy.
[…]
For players that invested in repeats across characters, those are seriously affected.
This talk about the convenience of stat change is just kitten, how many stats does a player use? 1 or 2, 3 at max? Not to mention right now it’s only the weapons which makes no difference what so ever.
Come the update legendary skins on ascended gear will be impossible to tell apart since the name will likely be purple, and since GW2 is all about skins, the little residual bragging rights value a legendary has right now is gonna be even less.

Frankly I think legendaries should turn account bound, but not able to use as a skin on other weapons.
[…]
Dyes should have repeats refunded by color, if someone spent serious gold across the toons for high end dyes getting ui dyes in return is a huge loss, getting the dyes themselves would at least allow them to sell so they’d break even.

As for gem store and cultural skins these should have an NPC buying them for gold (say ~25% of their original value), not the most elegant solution but at least people with repeats would get something in return, needless to say if you sold skins you don’t have repeated you wouldn’t get them on your wardrobe to use it later.

thoroughly agree with all your points.
I’d have been fine with just the change of soulbound Legendaries going accound bound and remaining excluded from Wardrobe. But I also consider players wanting to have the pleasure of using their same Legendary (skin/effects) when doing dungeons, www, open world.
example:
Twilight A (reskinned ascended): Sigil Slaying + Undead
Twilight B (true one): Force + Bloodlust
Twilight C (reskinned ascended): Fire + Air
etc…
Currently I imagine ppl using most efficient in all situation on their best looking weapon and carrying uglier weapons with the different setups for each environment in
their inventory bags. The new wardrobe system fixes it.

I hope that maybe in future they add a mix of

Option A
Legendary skins from wardrobe have a unique equipped restriction. Owners of 2 or more of the same legendary have to contact customer support to have the name of the extras changed in way to workaround fix the unique equipped. i.e. Asc ring Ring of Death[infused] and normal one, can wear both This is costly, they need to implement a workflow/process in support for such requests. Around time of infinite tools going acc bound, they did allow us to contact support for refunding the extras. So it could be possible.

Option C
Keep things as announced. Add sigil template swap to legendary stated weapons. Sort of a miniwardrobe tied to the legendaries owned itself. i.e. I have one Bolt, I bind Bloodlust, Fire, Air sigils to it. When out of combat I can swap sigil.
This way I would only need that one Bolt in my inventory bag or equipped on me, and can adapt to any dungeon/www/open world environment. This is costly as it requires design team etc… but’s it would be a welcomed feature. And preserving the value of the legendaries in my view.

This would mean an enhanced featured, less clutered inventory and no more issues.

Now that I think of the Option A’s implementation cost and time wasted contacting support for each request. Why not make an NPC that personalizes the 2nd same named Legendary, thus fixing in game the Unique equipped feature. Won’t need to contact support.

At the time it was worth it. I made Sunrise but never equipped it so I will not even have the chance to use the skin with my characters. So what? With the new changes, I’ll be out there actually making a legendary I WANT to equip because I can share the skin throughout my account.

Sometimes I feel I should just stop participating in the forums, because no one ever seems to be happy. It is clear that ANet is listening to what players want, and is GIVING IT TO YOU. And you all still complain. Seems to me they could make this totally free, give you everything under the sun for free, everything would be “perfect”, and you would all still find things to complain about. I keep coming back though and participating because I feel there should be at least a few “voices” of reason in here.

Look at TwilightStorm’s post and your post. I read your posts in the legendary wardrobe thread. Your interactions are nagging. OP takes it like a champ, soaks it up humbly.

If you could afford to craft legendaries, you don’t complain about the cost of transmute crystals and splitters. Be rational coherent man.
I have 10 characters. 7 of which can wield swords (1 Mesmer 2 Thieves 2 Warriors 1 Guardian 1 Ranger), I passed my 2 Bolts around from lvl1 to 80 on each, sometimes back and forth. That’s the system in place and I’m fine with it. I didn’t complain. Why do you?

Come now the wardrobe system, account bound dyes and ascended/legendaries. That’s great QoL improvements, I welcome it. I’m just saying that it should not mean the right to dual wield legendaries when you only own one. It’s asking for too much.
Same way I don’t want all the black lion weapon skins to cost 1 ticket. You gotta preserve the value of some items.

Stop being caustic. Dropping your acid on any discussion be it good or bad and act like you’re the voice of reason and leaving. I commend TwilightStorm’s for his discourse.

Today I’m sorry to say but crafting one ascended weapon is no-big-deal. It’s only 1 week worth of effort to make one. Slap a legend skin to it and bam best in game.

But you had to have gotten that Legendary in the first place. IT takes a week to make an Ascended, ok, but everyone who makes an ascended can’t just tack a Legendary on it unless they already put in the effort to get one before hand. It’s not actually changing anything. The people who have Legendaries are the people who went out and got them, otherwise they don’t get to have one or display one.

I was talking in the case of owners of 2 same legendaries and owners of 1 legendary with wardrobe skin feature.
i.e.: 2 real Bolts mesmer/war vs 1 real Bolt + 1 Asc Bolt skinned

Remember it is the SKIN ONLY. It will not have the stats of the original Legendary. This is a non-issue really.

So, someone puts a Legendary skin on a lvl 10 weapon, it is still a lvl 10 weapon.

It IS an issue. Legendary is 100% about the skin. Its sole value is the skin, the effects. Not the stats.

They were just exotics. Soldier affix. People like me had to risk transmuting them without any warranty for months on end as Anet remained silent about it.

Today I’m sorry to say but crafting one ascended weapon is no-big-deal. It’s only 1 week worth of effort to make one. Slap a legend skin to it and bam best in game. So it’s doesn’t make any sense to me when I see “o but don’t complain you get to keep your 2nd legendary for its stats”. Everyone can make an ascended weapon and pretend to have a 2nd real one.

So what remains? The swap stats? I can’t take this as major arguement. It’s valid one of course but it doesn’t weight.

I see no reason why players should be allowed to have the opportunity to apply a second skin en equip both. Mind you, you can still have 5 Incin skinned in your bag (i.e: zerker/celestial/soldier/dire/whatever), but you can’t equip 2 at same time, unless you owned 2 real in your wardrobe.

For the past 3 days I’ve been thinking about how to correctly adress this, to find the middle ground, so it’s easiest for Anet to implement without damaging the value of the items. It’s a hard decision. And I feel like we just didn’t discuss it enough; a CDI would’ve been nice, or a bigger headsup.

My current options envisionned are:

Option A
Legendary skins from wardrobe have a unique equipped restriction. Owners of 2 or more of the same legendary have to contact customer support to have the name of the extras changed in way to workaround fix the unique equipped. i.e. Asc ring Ring of Death[infused] and normal one, can wear both This is costly, they need to implement a workflow/process in support for such requests. Around time of infinite tools going acc bound, they did allow us to contact support for refunding the extras. So it could be possible.

Option B
Wardrobe allows any number of legendary skins uses/equips (just like announced currently), yet allow players who own multiple copies of a same legendary to contact customer support for a swap request. Destroy deleting a 2nd legendary and receiving another legendary. The new one being accound bound on acquire. No reselling on TP.
Eternity choice not permitted of course. Needless to say, this option would have to have a safeguard to prevent exploiters from pre-buying multiple cheapest legendaries in order to swap to more expensive to get ones.

Option C
Keep things as announced. Add sigil template swap to legendary stated weapons. Sort of a miniwardrobe tied to the legendaries owned itself. i.e. I have one Bolt, I bind Bloodlust, Fire, Air sigils to it. When out of combat I can swap sigil.
This way I would only need that one Bolt in my inventory bag or equipped on me, and can adapt to any dungeon/www/open world environment. This is costly as it requires design team etc… but’s it would be a welcomed feature. And preserving the value of the legendaries in my view.

And I disagree. with the new wardrobe system, players owning a legendary should only be allowed to apply 1 copy of that legendary per character. Imagine a sort of ‘unique equipped’ restriction. All your characters will be able to wield one Incinerator for example but not two. Unless you own 2 Incinerators. This way you preserve the value. And people with dual legendaries are not offensed.

The skin is the only thing that applies. You won’t get the ability to change stats on those weapons. You won’t get the particle effects, the footsteps, the weapon skill effects, and so on. Just the skin. Only you’re originally crafted weapons will be truly “legendary” and rightfully so.

Are you sure? the effects are part of the skin…

No, the effects are party of the weapon being Legendary. Before they made Legendary weapons on par with Ascended stats and the ability to change them, people used to make a legendary and transmute the skin to a stat set they preferred. In doing so, however, they lost all the visual effects associated with the weapon being “legendary” since it was no longer the original weapon.

nonsense.
back when it was just a soldier exotic, I xmuted to zerker exo and you kept all the effects/footprints. I’ve passed on my bolts multiple times to rerolled characters from lvl1 to 80, had all the effects.

There really isn’t any way to constructively reply to a thread that was made with no intention for discussion in mind.

It’s really pretty simple to see why the devs made these changes. Lots of players asked for these things, and the more players you keep happy playing your game, the more money you make from those players. That is to say, it benefits the game as a whole when there are more happy players.

You just completely admitted that the reason you’re upset is that you felt like an entitled, special snowflake.

The way I see it, you have two options:
1) Get over it.
2) Quit.

% of players happy with this change > % of players complaining about this change

They made a business decision. The next choice is yours.

You’re post is what irks me. I keep seeing “great good” “more players will be happy overall”, then please go ahead and make all the black lion skin weapons 1 ticket. More players will be happy. But remember why Anet didn’t do that? To preserve the rarity and do not offend players that had gotten em in the beginning. Preserving the value.

This is no different. I feel for you OP. The caustic sense of entitlement is not with OP, it’s with the ppl drooling about tottin legendaries everywhere on all characters.
