Hi everyone. I wanted to extend the invitation to add questions to our list for the upcoming AMA with Chris Whiteside on Monday. We’ve got a few days to prepare for it this time around, so we’re looking at having a larger list this time around.

Feel free to add your questions here, send me a PM, or just add it directly to the thread on Reddit if you feel like it. Oh, and please reference the thread when submitting questions so you know the kinds of things we don’t want to see!

Link for the thread is here; http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/13lio6/prepare_for_the_chris_whiteside_ama_here/

Thanks for contributing!

EDIT: I’ve added the first round of questions to the thread. Take a look and make sure I didn’t miss any. Also, if you are a redditor – please do your best to make sure the thread stays visible!

I posted a link to a list of current Necromancer bugs on the reddit page a while ago and it’s still not up. Please include it under engi bugs.

Never paid attention to this really. Looks like I’ll be rolling an Asura. Thanks OP!

Glad to hear it!

Now that I think about it, A-net did do a good job with the directional aids. I personally enjoy the scouts that direct you to each quest.

If you compare the Necromancer with other classes on an even match, no Necromancers are not good at PvP.

Uh? There’s not a single class that I have trouble with on my Necromancer. Necros are amazing for S/TPvP and WvW, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

100% Disagree with the OP’s opinion on jump puzzles. I love GW2’s jump puzzles I have a blast doing them. I really enjoyed the Lost Shores one. The WvW jump puzzles are incredibly fun, EVEN if they’re being camped with siege. Just because you don’t enjoy them doesn’t mean A-net should stop making them. And what kind of loot do you expect from them when 90% of the jump puzzles are unbelievably easy. Not to mention that the loot received from Obsidian Sanctum JP is great.

Your opinion on jump puzzles, like many other complaints in your post are personal. While you may have touched on some real issues, most is drowned out by personal opinions (most of which I completely disagree with, and have had no issue with).

I found one build that is rediciliously strong.
So far I’m undefeated, even 2vs1 fights often go into my favor and teammates supported by me will demolish their enemies.
Won’t tell you the build yet, though. Until the patch goes live, I’ll keep it for myself. One hint though: regeneration.

Any and every build combination you could ever possibly imagine has been thought up, and posted on these forums. There’s no new, unique builds anymore.

Snow White.9680:

Why do you allow, and encourage players to grief others in wvw puzzles?

currently in EB there are 3+ players creating arrowcarts and balistas at the end room of the puzzle killing players so they cant complete it.

Why is this allowed? Why is this encouraged?

I have more fun PvPing in Eternal BG then anywhere else in GW. Yes, I’ve been in your situation plenty of times, where I couldn’t complete the jump puzzle because people were camping it with siege equipment. To me that’s what makes jump puzzles fun. It feels more like open world PvP. Also, I’ve never camped any jump puzzle with siege equipment, however, I have no problem with other people doing it.

Great, thanks for the quick response.

Hello all! Recently I decided to stock up on the Halloween chef recipes that you purchase for karma. I just now noticed that I can learn all of these recipes, even though I don’t have my chef skill active, nor have I ever trained it.

My question is, if I learn all of these chef recipes, even though I have yet to train the chef skill, will they be available to me if sometime in the future I do decide to learn to be a chef?

Thanks in advance!
