Guild Wars 2

Amber - True Unranked
“It’s same as Unranked, right?”

Emerald - New players
“Hey, I played a few games in ranked!”

Sapphire - Bring Agony Resistance
“Caution: your teammates may and will inflict you excruciating and agonizing pain.”

Ruby - Grinding basics
“Sooner or later we’ll all be there…”

Diamond - Luckier than most
“Hey, I’m lucky with matchmaking!”

Legendary - LFM Amber
“Hey, wanna play together? Queues are so kitten long”

It’s a humorous post, so don’t take it far too seriously.

zerorogue.9410:

6/7 posts in this thread are OP…….Somehow I can see why you are getting suppressed…

Jokes aside, If I remember correctly the suppression system works on a point system and the more you are suppressed the more it suppresses you. If you do get a suppressed message trying to (check if its over) could be just increasing it.

Well, one of the points is that I get suppressed even when I don’t use map chat at all, only LFG tool. I also noticed tendency for it to happen when I list in it and alt-tab for a while (using borderless fullscreen).

Also timed delisting is really annoying, especially when looking for one of less popular activities. And updating your LFG seems to count as spam, especially (it seems) when you use exact same description).

Any info about if it is a bug, a feature of something else? And if it’s gonna be fixed?

This: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vial_of_Salt

Somehow it feels like Rev armor fits Dragonhunters as well, especially shoulderpiece (it being a head of a dragon). Headpiece makes me think of “blind justice”.

To add to the list of annoyances: why does party chat log disappear after you leave party and port somewhere? That’s highly annoying.

Well, LFG tool is really bad in gw2. As it is now it’s only decent to look for fractal groups. For everything else it’s lacking. Take any world event. They all go in one tab – living world. As well as world bosses, guild advertisements, SW farm, seasonal instances (because there is no other tab for them), raids (because why would raids need separate tab…), achieve hunts, story quests (even tho there is personal story tab ppl use this for some reason), etc. Pretty much everything that is not fractal or dungeon goes in that tab. Which makes it a mess. And without ability to filter that mess – yep, gl finding what you want.
PvP tab lacks divisions in ranked (apparently to encourage ambers teaming up with legendary/diamonds).
But WvW ofc has 1 tab for each border, EB and overflow (only they are empty 24/7).

UPDATE 2: and 2 minutes after getting suppressed I get forcefully delisted from LFG tool…. So now I can’t look for group at all (read original post)

UPDATE: I just came back from afk (around 10 minutes+) and only 2 things I did was: post myself in LFG and post once (1 time) in map chat my lfg message. And I got suppressed. What is this?!?!

So I noticed a few things.

First: LFG listing somehow counts as /m message, and if you list/delist a lot (for example trying to taxi ppl or just changing description) you get “excessive messaging” suppression.

But wait, there is more!
Suppression is shared with /m chat too!

But wait, there is more!
If you stay idle for a bit (typical situation when LFG in pvp lobby or LA) you get delisted from LFG tool. Which means, that’s right, to list again! 3-4 relists like this + a message or 2 in /m chat and enjoy suppression for some unreasonable amount of time. Yay.

Switch to the 64bit client.

Will try, thanks!

Pretty much what title says. Really annoying, I’m always playing with my friend, and like 50% of world bosses my game crashes midfight, I have to relog, I can’t get on shard with my friend, happy Tequatl sends me best regards from behind a bone wall on some deserted empty shard. Friend’s shard at full capacity in meanwhile… Can imagine how it is starting to poison my game experience on daily basis by now (been so since I started playing game again at HoT release).

I’m running game on max settings, and my PC can do it:
ASUS STRIX-GTX980
Intel Core i5-4690K
ASRock Z97 EXTREME4
Kingston HyperX Beast (T3), KHX21C11T3K2/16X

This setup handles games like GTA V and Witcher 3 on ultra, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t handle gw2.

Log attached, can attach crash dump as well if needed.

Just wondering if it’s ever going to get “release” status (atm it’s beta), and when this kitten error gets finally fixed. It’s really annoying that it’s on for months by now and completely ignored (as it appears to me) by anet.

Checked today, still looks like garbage. ANet completely ignoring this thread as well as issue. Don’t see issue, don’t hear about issue, don’t speak about issue – there is no issue!

Thanks for info SSalp, I agree, loosing control sucks :P Would be cool to have a “switch” on it in addition, so you could change appearance at will.
Would be cool to hear about last 2 questions from ANet representative

Didn’t find any more or less recent topics on this question, so I made new one.
I don’t have Eternity, but I do have both Twilight and Sunrise, but knowing about issues Eternity is reported to have I don’t want to combine them.
So the question itself (actually not one, but a few):
- Is Eternity still “bugged” – no footsteps effect?
- same question for trails effect
- are there any other issues with it?
- I heard that in most dungeons it’s night -> so it almost always looks like twilight inside dungeons (with some exceptions), is this correct?
- Are ANet going to do something with it from fixing perspective (like fixing absent footsteps effect or trails)?
- Are ANet going to do something with it from changing/improving perspective (for ex. adding option to switch appearance manually, or smth else, like new effect not seen on Sunrise and Twilight)?

If none of Eternity “bugs” are fixed by now, I don’t really see any point in merging 2 legendary swords into 1, because it feels more like downgrade: loosing effects and control on appearance, for nothing but additional 5 achi points (or was it more -_-).

It is really frustrating, how this issue gets ignored by ANet for such a long time.

Still getting

Anything about HoM website fix?

Having issues with displaying too.

Using google Chrome with google dns (switching to ISP dns didn’t help). Flushed dns, re-installed java, cleared cache, nothing of that helps.

Noticed it today. When did that appear? Any info on what will be there? I remember there was a huge sink hole and broken wall, now it’s half-repaired and hole covered.

As far as I know Knights is available for Arah tokens

Very nice job done here OP. Also would like to stress it more: make gs guardian playable. Atm it’s like this: you hardly get close to other damagers, but you are super squishy or you don’t do any reasonable damage and you’re still pretty squishy.

Here is link to my current build: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/Another-guardian-dps-build-topic/first

Here is another thing to list:
Radiance – Perfect Inscriptions trait – it’s unclear (atl to me) how exactly it affects signets, and I didn’t notice any improvements for Signet of Resolve and Signet of Judgement, other signets change to something unclear – like disappearing parts of tooltip. It needs better description and tooltips should be fixed as well.

Any other fresh ideas? Since last time I decided to reduce my Toughness value, cause it’s quite uncomfortable to get aggro everywhere due to it. Will change to fractal rings with Power, Precision, Crit, Vitality and make Precision and Vitality infusions. Also will use berserk fractal back.

Will post link to stream later, when’ll be heading off for some fractals.

Oh, looks like we are getting away from topic. First of all @Archer – we discuss guardian gs dps build. Not heal/suport/tank. If you’re here to state that guardians can’t dps – you can go make your own thread.

Second – pls keep discussion close to topic subj – guardian GS non-glass dps. Glass may be good, but I don’t see any use in glass cannon who charges boss, does 100k dps in one skill use (let’s make it absurd) and than waits for ress. Though as soon as we figure out HOW exactly aggro works, it may be brought up again.

Other thing – it’s possible to add recommended party setup.
– So far I see, that mesmer is always good for any party, due to TW, portal, copyes, etc.
– Also some warr/guard with tanked build and 3,3k+ armor will be nice (why? because aggro does have armor based component, and high armor tank will be most likely attacked all time; I run 3.4k armor warr, and I DO get attacked by most mobs in any dungeon since I got that number 3 weeks ago)
– Good support/healer. From what I heard engineers do well. Will add more if someone will give good feedback (as I didn’t meet a lot of these lately)
– Bunker necr sounds as good option for tank too. I saw some, and they were capable of some nice tanking as well (given they know what they are doing).
– Strong dps class like elem. Ranged pref.

I think Anet did very bold statement, that there will be no “trinity”. If you have “trinity” alike party composition – you will have way less trouble completing dungeons

Well, so far it’s tricky, but possible. Most of time it’s about not rushing, using ranged weapon when needed, using heals and shouts. I don’t always go with same setup of utility skills. They are all situational.
Amins thanks for your link, that build looks pretty nice, but going full berserk armor sounds for me like PvE suicide It will not end well in high level fractals or in Arah. What is good for wvw is not always good for PvE.

Well, it looks good, but I don’t see point in last 5 in Valor (it should be either 5 more or less IMHO), and I’d put those 5 into Zeal or Honor. I understand that 5% crit damage looks sweet, but probably those 2 will give better result (requires testing though). Also I don’t think that crit damage is a way to go for guardian dps as conditions can’t crit, so our burning gains nothing from inc crit dmg. I’d rather go for full Knights as it will give even more Toughness and Precision which gives even more crit chance. Pair it with life leech on crit and it should work well. Cond damage is an option, but it needs testing. Too bad there is nothing like skada or recount (damage meter+analysis).

Also updated original post with some more info.

Yeah, thing is that I use this build and feature for aoe charge in → symbol → whirl+spam Justice (resets on every kill). Works like a charm. Though will try to give it up for no healing from gs and Inspired and see what happens.

Thanks for your 2 copper ^^ I’m aware of t3 Valor talent, but it requres 30 traits there, and it’s huge dps loss. Inspired Virtues sound good, but need to calculate than what’s better – 50 precision and cond dmg or that trait + recharge and duration.

I see your point, but I want to accent it again: I’m trying to find PvE spec, not WvW.
I heard a lot of things like that, and I do have warrior myself, so I know situation with warrs.

I am trying to build balanced, non glass (well, maybe only a bit) guardian, capable of doing some reasonable dps using mainly greatsword.

With posts like “guardian dps makes me smile” pls go away. Arenanet claimed that all classes should be able to use different playstiles, so dps must be an option.

This thread purpose are: find relatively high damage and enough tough build for guardian, to complete PvE content without having much trouble (like Arah p1-4 and high lvl fractals); in case there is no such build and opportunity – get this info to anet, so they could possibly buff our gs dps.

So far what I am using is

http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mMcz0mMzMmoGhomoGhmxxa9MMkbMobo

with all knights gear and berserk weapons, Emerald orbs in all slots and Emerald jewels for accessory. So far it feels not bad, but a bit glassy if you kitten dodging.

Edit:
My stats with this traits, gear and utility skills, but w/o any food are:

Attack – 3,244 green with signet / 3,154 white
Crit Chance – 64% (84% when I use Save yourselves)
Armor – 3,067
Health – 10,965

Atm thinking about changing weapon signet from 5% dmg to 5% crit (will do good with omnomberry pies)

Got Lupicus bugged as well. We were doing Seers path and when we got to Lupicus our NPC didn’t start dialogue and boss stayed “green” for us. NPC most likely died before we entered boss room. Submitted bug in-game, also posting here. After several attempts of fixing we had to leave dungeon.

Found new bug – Defense trait Sure-Footed doesn’t increase Endure Pain duration (though it IS stance as noted in tooltip) and doesn’t increase Defy Pain proc duration as well.
Also looks like Defy Pain is not working properly as well, as sometimes it does activate and sometimes it doesn’t, though there is nothing about cd on it (though icd is possible, but should be added to description than).
Also Endure Pain has unclear tooltip: Take no damage from attacks, but you do take condition damage. Both if it’s bug or if it’s intended it should be stated more clearly (like “Take no damage from direct damage attacks”).
