Guild Wars 2

RP-wise my main character would kill dangerous old Asuran mutant in cold blood, then would remove his guards and then ask Taimi who will be the next candidate to represent Asura mutants.

Friends will be friends.

Watching all the others killing the mobs 10x times faster.
Asking yourself: where is my loot?

Renown Hearts would be hardly farmable due to reaching the cap.

Totally agree for Mini dungeons and Puzzles though. Finally some use for Mesmers too…

Noticing “do not follow us” message from “OP” guild/Piken server I have decided to watch the idea of “do not follow us” message.

Besides of spamming “do not follow us” in team/map channels, I have also noticed that the guild has decided to not
1) help any Piken player who was attacked near their group, all other players were left alone to die by other server players.
2) help any Piken player who was in downed state when they ran over him/her (third time it was me who got caught by 5 enemy players and happily went down), the group just continued their movement.

Therefore the question is: is such behaviour considered ok in GW2? Can you spam “do not join us include random insults”? Is it ok to ignore fellow players who are on your own side obviously not being random bots farming mobs?

To OP guild: you do not wish me to publish screens of PMs you have sent me when I’ve asked the reasons of you behaviour.

P.S. And no, I did not follow your group.

That’s one of the reasons I’ve stopped playing mesmer as my main character. It’s extremely inept in many situations.

My name is Player and this is… Trahearne’s story.

After reading this part of the forum, it all seemed like nearly everyone loves the new Tequatl: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/archive/tequatl

What has happened?

Somehow it seems that those of us who has found new Tequatl unfun were right…

1st October I first saw in map chat: “LFM WARRIORS ONLY 6+k ACHIEVEMENTS, GEAR CHECK”. The beggining of the end is nigh.

Waar Kijk Je Naar.8713:

Too hard? HAHAHAHAHAHA, say what?

Half the dungeon, including the final boss, can be solo’d. You only need extra people for the Ooze “puzzle” and the lightning room.

Videoproof or trolling?

Blaeys.3102:

or they can buff all the other dungeons up to this level

Will be good reason to ignore all live story dungeons. More time for funnier stuff.
Glad so many folks enjoy the new content. Last fun content for me was Sanctum (Halloween was great too!).

I definitely agree with OP.
Tequatl update should have never been implemented in the open world with its overflows, afkers and general “I play as I want” people, ie. akitteng on turret.

Unfortunately the game seems to follow “the most popular MMORPG” ever steps, while losing its own unique spirit.

I’ve replayed World 1 zones 1-2-3 again with low level alt, who have never tried them before.
No Scholar achievement though I was “inside the chests” and waited for times and was not dead.

I’ve got achievements for failed invasions. Kept track of the maps and got 13/13.

Thank you very much.
Fail is mine therefore, going to hide myself and accept the Inner Noob!

Why is scanner item soulbound?
Why cannot we repeat Queen’s Speech event with multiple heroes?

“Never let a wrong ripen into evil!”

Loot was very nice during first hours, then it stopped dropping. Checked several overflows, map chat was full with rage.

Hotfix? Nerf.

Yes, it was nerfed. I’m grateful to developers though, I won’t waste time on grinding.

I’ve put my mesmer main aside few months ago. My Guardian, Thief, Elementalist, Necromancer all offer the group much more and are more interesting to play.

I am not happy with current state of Mesmer.

A friend of mine has made a mistake of making 1-2-4 for Ellen. Now she cannot get final achievement for tier 3.

She tried 1-2-3-4
She tried 3 only
She tried 1-2-3-4-3

We spent about 5 hours trying to figure it. We have even won 1-2-3-4 straight in a row. Nothing.

Soloed tier 4 with my Thief. Took me about 3 hours of evaluating my prowess, changing active skills and analyzing how to win against the hordes.

I have found the engagement hard and quite fun. Hope to see similar things later and I hope they won’t add any more “you must play as a group” content.

And you can get tons of precursors from 10k players.

Can I get some of forementioned tons of precursors, please?

None of people I know and many of them are very active WvW players have got any precursors from WvW.

Absolutely great cutscene! Though Lady looked at me/us/Logan quite… intensely… in the end.

Dragon Ball game – first I thought “ah, yet another strange game with no sense”, but after two games I liked it. Reminds me of old Doom/Quake fights.

Fantastic cutscene – absolutely stunning!

I had exactly the same problem. Had full bags, nothing happened. Could not retrieve the item with non-full bags.

I like my stories complete. Sadly I will never see it ingame.

Crossrealm cooperation should lead to bans.

Saw it in many games, so many games PvP, RvR, WvW, add-any-other-name severely damaged.

I’ve greatly enjoyed the dungeon, thank you very much! My PUG had certain problems, but in the end using brains and cooperation has won us the day.
Please continue making dungeons of that style!

Thank you VERY MUCH for great job done! It probably took great amount of time, but it really IS fantastic!

MasterPakku.2890:

1) are mesmers that hard to lvl?
2) r they perfect in pvp?

1) Yes. Hardest levelling possible.
2) Depends on your skills. If you are good player, you’ll enjoy mesmer very much, if not, you will not find mesmer good enough class compared to, let’s say, Elementalist.

28th January patch has removed Pumpkin Carver achievements from my account. Does anyone experience the same problem?

Have similar issue as Ojimaru. My tracert works ok from Czech Republic to Dallas nodes, then it starts lagging like hell.
Skills are activating 1-2 s after I activate their buttons. Yesterday it worked all fine, problems started today.

Yes, it is so. Stats are always the same regardless if you are rank 1, 10, 50 or higher.
Many players like it so. Many players do not like it so.
But it is so.

Another patch, another mesmer nerf. Considering the amount of available builds for Mesmers to be competitive in sPvP, I find it… amusing.
Do people use anything else than Shatter Mesmer in sPvP?

I’d like to support this thread. If you want lobby games, go play something else with no world and endless dungeons. Thank you, have fun!
Me and many other players wish to experience the world to the fullest!

Tortun.5946:

That seems like an accusation to me. I spent last week tracking down exploiters when I was told about them by a friend on Piken and reporting them, so please don’t put me in the same boat as folks cheating their way to the top.

It is good to know that Gandara WvW fighters have friends amongst Piken WvW fighters who provide them with enough data about current situation. Interserver communication full of spydata on server squads movement is a key to win WvW battles, right?

I went to help my friends with Toy Apocalypse achievement. We had poor starting situation with lost dolyaks, but still they got the achievement.
We all felt disappointed because of no real challenge involved now. My own feels “meh” now as well.
Most people will play it once and stop it.

First I thought it’s some graphical glitch, but it really is 0 damage. I do not remember reading that in patch notes.
Any explanation?

Children also know about Dragons, maybe they can even imagine taming them or riding them as Dragonriders to rule the world. But to become Horse Rider, that’s truly mystical and epic wish! Good one for Wintersday!

This topic includes blatant spoilers that are dangerous for mental health and is created for pure fun and conspirational theories.

Do you think there were Horses in Tyria?

Do you want to know what really happened… probably?

Update:

after leaving PC to rest for few hours I’ve tried the mission again, for the fourth time.
This time I’ve taken the scabbard, killed all Pirates that attacked me underwater (from north and south), swimmed underwater til the circle, and when I entered the beach, I’ve got mission continuation.
Hope it will help others.

8th December 2012:

you grab the scabbard, your toolbar does not change, you can get to the escape circle, but nothing happens.

Restarting does not help.

I have the very same problem since August.

The only thing that helps my PC is turning off graphics to minimum.

Worst thing is that client refuses to restart after such a crash, disables half Windows functions that usually leads to hard reset. I’ve noticed there are few posts about that problem on the forum as well. With no solution.

Yes, it is so.

In sPvP, its damage is half as much, or:
65 + (0.075 * Condition Damage) per stack per skill use

I was also surprised when I have noticed that for the first time. Still some people claim that Mesmers are OP.

New Dungeon – Fractals of the Mists – I have enjoyed it very much. I hope to see more similar dungeons depending on team’s cooperation rather than brute force.

Critics:
1) Disconnected/crashed player is usually unable to rejoin his team in the Mists leading to bad situations where either his/her team restarts full dungeon level or leave him/her stranded and try to progress without him/her. Very bad thing, please solve it.
2) Urban fight part lags for many players, including those with good PC.

General story: nice idea, but felt bit short and unexplained deep enough.

Critics: great problems with certain NPCs on most servers led to spoiled experience.

New Zone: interesting idea, entertaining puzzles, new kind of enemies who force players to use their brains more than the usual stuff.

Critics: zone feels bit empty for now, most people will complete the puzzle and go away due to harshness of the environment. I suppose it’s only part of Sea of Sorrows zone, looking forward for more!

Event Phase I: Lion’s Arch defense – overall good idea, but…

Critics: lagfest, hard-hitting invisible monsters while being unable to use skills properly.

Event Phase II: Conquest of the Island – nice idea, have enjoyed it as soon as I’ve left the zerg and went exploring in a small group

Critics: zergfest.

Event Phase III: Ancient Karka fight – very interesting idea of major boss event, but…

Critics: too long Reinforcements phases with 2 Champions in the end. High repair bill for many people who did not stay at range or who lagged well enough to die. Unbalanced phat lewt: some people chose to go as lowbies, some people got Precursors, some people crashed.

I have ENJOYED the event and I’m very glad I’ve participated in it. My friend who was playing lowbie alt was extremely happy with it as she viewed it as a great challenge.

Suggestions:
Tactics not Zerg. Please make further events as more multiple instances for less amount of players, let’s say 20-30 players max. Appropriate stats of the monsters and usage of tactics will lead to greater experience.
Phat lewt-wise, please count players “achievements” during the event for it considering phat lewt. Players who have played all parts and spent 3+ hours in the event should get better rewards than those who have joined during last 5 minutes. Achievements should be available to players who have crashed/disconnected as well.

Once again – thank you very much for the event! I’m looking forward to next ones!

I’ve enjoyed Fractals very much. Do not recommend running them with people who have little patience to learn the mechanics or who suppose that they will be “powerpulled” with the group.

Confirming. It took our group nearly 2 hours to kill him with his super-armor.
We were… persistent.
