Guild Wars 2

thx will check it right now and free some bag space.

its been 3 weeks and i still haven’t seen any patch notes bringing this back should i start deleting my 20+ cyphers?

Seriously there should be other ways to obtain it rather than wait 8-9 days just to have enough to make ONE charged quartz not to mention it being account bound and craft-able once per day. Not to mention it takes 42 days mining that node in your home instance just to make 1 exotic inscription.

The problem with increasing the number of mobs with relation to fractal lvl is
1. all those new mobs hit hard
2. each set of mobs would most likely have the same skill sets. Aetherblades that like to stun will most probably the same mobs as the fractal lvls go up, now if you know how much a pain in the kitten these mobs are you will find yourselves burning utilities like crazy which is another problem is they also increased there hp at higher lvls.
3. most of there attacks cant be countered you cant blind all multi-hit attacks, feedback, wall of reflection, smokescreen, etc wont work on alot of attacks.

If you want a good example of what increasing mobs would do. Remember when you have to lite the bonfire in the svanir shaman and a huge cluster of svanir will simultaneously fire arrow shower at you, or on the next area where you’ll be knockaround by the ice elems.

Also since when did regular dungeon mobs get agony attacks? AR will not save you from normal mobs since AR attacks are usually given to mid bosses and last bosses.

I hope anet realizes the big difference between molten alliance and aetherblade mobs between regular old fractal mobs. The current dev trend is increase fractal lvl ok lets increase mob quantity and lets shove few elites to the mix which is where kittens hit the fan with the 2 types of mobs.

Imagine just fighting 10-15 of any of those mobs on mid lvl fractals since that’s just about the numbers of mobs devs is dishing out on 20ish fractals doesn’t sound too hard does it? Just a reminder though these mobs have diff sets of skills. just a recap on some of there skills.

Aetherblade strikers hit hard and stuns(static field and shock aura) alot, swashbuckler will bleed you like there’s no tomorrow, thugs will knock you down and immobilize you will take forever now that immobilize stacks, and the task master with their blind and 5stacks of confusion. And then there’s the molten alliance blade masters stuns and bleeds, bladestorm cleaves alot then 100blades you, gunner is annoying as hell with all his jumps and knock-backs, shaman with all his aoes, and my personal favorite molten protectors which will turn everyone invulnerable to damage in his aoe.

Now running into 2 sets of these mobs was bad enough in the normal dungeon, now that there in the fractal imagine how much kitten you’d have to face every step of this dungeon.

Also molten berserk stomp with agony, or mai’s teleport strike with agony, and even better horrik’s cannon phase with agony yay! And special mention frizz’s spinning lazer wall of doom I love the idea of them increasing the numbers of golems that pull your kitten to the laser just to scale this difficulty.

What’s actually sad is most in the forums already voiced their concerns with the 80 man min req even before teq was launched. even foreseeing a repeat of southsun as well as several suggestions to make the loot count if they’re making the content this hard. sad to say EVERYTHING WENT TO DEFT EARS and to make matters worse we see this “We are aware of it and actively discussing it.We were hoping originally it would take days/weeks for players to defeat Tequatl instead of 12 hrs.” which is pretty much what arena net thinks of our opinions.

And ohh god the same clueless group is still planning to screw around with the other bosses…

finally got mine

think were already on stage 3

next event almost up
still no mod answer

i hate, those clouds.

also
WE NEED, PATCH FIX

must buy, infinite coin
three days, one skin
two three, still bugged
still no, mod answer

“The encounter will be completely changed, turning this into an extremely difficult, time-limited 80-person fight minimum that requires group strategy and a whole lot of moxie.”

I dunno if the people thinking hell yeah finally challenging stuff do grenth or go and do south suns crazed karka queen event. Because this is pretty much the same messed up way of thinking that makes dead contents. Sure we’ll get a week at most where people are aiming for the achievements and minis then the numbers dwindle and its impossible to finish (my god 80 people min are they ____ nuts). Especially if 1) they make this event another account bound daily reward, 2) Insanely mob unfriendly (i forgot the temple where theres aoe death zones all over the floor) and finally 3) after beating this boss you get ANY blues and green. All in all challenge is FINE NOT FUN but it better be god ____ worth it.

To add the path 2 and 3 boss are underwater with the kitten high hp and weak ranged underwater weapon they take forever to kill.

To be fair they are also very, very easy.

Plunderer has his one-shot charge thingy, but other than that he sucks.

Zealot has very weak attacks on his own, and his suicide jellyfish are a stupid mechanic – because they die when they attack, you get insta-rallied if they bring you down!

That’s the point both have 2 things you have to look out for ( p2 charge attack and mines, P3 jellyfish and barracudas) yet both take forever to kill.

I don’t know what the support team is smoking! I filed a ticket because I was accused of botting now that i get a reply i see this

now I’m no rocket scientist but I’m pretty sure that automated reply is for the CC issue not the kitten-ed out bot banning fiasco.

also i have given them a very detailed complain on almost every case heck the ticket was more than one page long and still they made this mistake!

Are these support personnel really capable?

I am not sure how much legal action is possible from within Europe. Legally i know what they do is wrong but their offices are in another country. Starting to consider to call my legal insurance and have them figure it out.

please do!!! i did not spend 8-12hrs a day since i bought this game just to get banned for playing it. Also refunds are out of the question since YOU CANT REFUND 2months of time and effort you spend on your char.

Also got banned yesterday for botting. Which pisses me off considering how close their one time event is and i’m gonna miss it because of a fail program and how slow there support team are at cleaning up this mess.

Tried farming corrupted lodestones on SoS since plinx was down so a searched for a good location. Found the area beside icefloe waypoint a good spot as shown with this site http://www.almarsguides.com/Almar%27s%20Stuff/Gw2/Farming/Corrupted%20Lodestone/Corrupted%20Lodestone%20Farming%20Area.jpg

Unfortunately IF you farm this area you “may” be flagged as a botter. Why you might ask? the left side of the area is a mountain range the area itself is a narrow coastline and of course to your right is the sea so you really have no choice but to run up and down this coastline to farm those lodestones. AND THAT triggers what the mod’s anti bot measures there proud of. At least I HOPE its a program not blind bot hunter.

So yeah this is one of those QQ threads but its better if you knew to avoid being banned like me.
