Guild Wars 2

Projectile defence for turrets when they die to AoE all the time -.-

Is a bunker.

The runes and traits can obviously be swapped. But this build has high toughness, good HP and heals a lot. Plus the knockback, pull etc to keep the point yours

I just noticed these guys too…

Wow, someone’s maths has gone mental at Anet :P

Here’s the base mats for the arty version:

30 Pile of Crystalline Dust
100 Pile of Bloodstone Dust
2 Obsidian Shard
60 Thermocatalytic Reagent
400 Soft Wood Log
150 Seasoned Wood Log
300 Hard Wood Log
5 Glob of Ectoplasm
750 Elder Wood Log

I’m sorry, but that’s just ridiculous. Way too expensive.

The only value to this item IMO is if you get a whole WvW map to use the station in the 5 mins before it runs out. Even then, it’s going to be one hell of a generous player who lays out that kind of investment for a relatively minor buff.

It’s the obvious way round to do it.

My guildie helped me on this…

Go in with your highest fractal level toon and then leave again. It’ll set all your lower level ones to the highest fractal level/reward you have.

I think it would be a mutually beneficial idea for both the game and its players to sell expandable Collectible slots in the bank (maybe in lots of 250)

Well, I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this way. I hope the Devs see this post and understand that achievements could be handled better in WvW.

It is a big shame we’re stuck with this for 7 weeks though – I very much doubt any changes will be made before season 2.

Defensive Ach’s – I didn’t mention these on purpose as, quite simply, they can be exploited very easily. But leaving them out says a lot about the current state of WvW. Something I hope is fixed sooner rather than later.

I’m a big GW2 fan but I’m not really sure why such an amazing world – ripe for exploration – keeps getting mini-games as updates.

Is it possible to please bring out more dungeons, more exploration achievements, more zones?

I’m not complaining about not finishing the related achievements – I may, I may not. I’m suggesting that such a rich and well made world should be deepened and expanded – not just have ‘diversions’ as the core part of updates.

Different gear does not equate to bad. A player is more than the gear they wear and the weapon they use, in all honestly.

I have no issue with people choosing to run all zerker armor. If that is how they enjoy playing, cool. You’re very correct that some people do enjoy just power housing through the game play, that’s fine. I take issue when people come along and tell me that by using something else I must be bad, or stupid. Quite frankly, I am neither. I am simply different. I enjoy playing a different way, with a different set up.

I accept how others play (don’t always necessarily agree), but I resent when people are intolerant of how I (and others play) and try forcing their ‘our way or no way’ on us when we aren’t even playing with you. You do you thing, I’ll do mine. I have no desire to run speed clears…..ever.

+1

IMO builds (gear, traits etc) are best when they fit YOUR playstyle. When they bring the best out of it.

If your playstyle is “kill them before they kill you” then zerker gear is great. If it isn’t – and there are many more playstyles – then it isn’t.

Suggesting that someone is bad because they don’t copy you and your choices is extremely childish and ill-informed.

Yes. I like to know it’s night not just by seeing stars in the sky. Fractal dark would be great

Yes, crashed from Gandara [EU] and can’t get back in.

The guesting treasure seekers must’ve crashed it

After today’s patch (13/2), many Slayer Achievements have been changed on my account to 999/1000. The Achievement points seemed to have been deducted as well from my overall score and I can kill one mob more to get them (I noticed when I started getting Slayer achievements I had completed ages ago).

Obviously, this isn’t a game affecting bug, but is slightly annoying nonetheless.

:)

Yes, absolutely sure. Especially as I helped chase and kill all 3.

I’m not sure how this is done and I couldn’t report the 3 individuals I saw do this as the report just says “Invader”. But players from the Augury Rock server were glitching through the doors at the Sunnyhill tower today in our borderlands (Gandara).

I would ask anyone seeing their server-mates doing this to please report them (as I will) and for Anet to look into a fix.

Cheating in PvP really is the lowest form of gaming.

I know my initial terms where extreme – most people are not all “fanbois” or “whiners” but sometimes more one, and sometimes more the other.

I was feeling mischievous this morning and incorporated a certain amount of Troll into my post :P

However, one thing I have noticed is that the majority of the initial replies are negative and the majority of the later replies are more balanced and some even supportive. This simply feeds my impression that there is a section of the community in these games that just hangs around the forums to spread negativity and doom.

I’ve seen it time and time again. Sometimes a game really deserves it (SWTOR anyone?) but quite often these types of posts are not from people who play, they’re from people who just hate.

Do people think, in general, that these forums (and game forums in general) are so negative because the people who are really enjoying themselves just play and don’t come here to whine?

I mean this seriously.

When I talk about the various topics in guild that are brought up on these boards, the responses are totally different.

Some recent examples:

Ascended armour: forums consensus = bad, a treadmill. Guild consensus = could be good, let’s wait and see, only a “must have” for deep Fractal adventures.

Event: forums consensus = laggy, unfair, skews the economy etc. Guild consensus = one of the best events in online gaming ever.

Fractals: forum consensus = elitist, gated, treadmill etc. Guild consensus = excellent fun, innovative and rewarding.

On my guild forums, negative posters just get ignored or asked to stop being so attention seeking. We can all spot them. They enjoy dragging things down and foreseeing doom.

These forums seem to be riddled with this type of post like a cancer. It’s depressing. I come here to read about the game – people’s thoughts and experiences, some tips and info. But the majority of thread titles are just doom.

According to this forum – the game died 4 weeks after release, no one is playing except for hardcore grinders and treadmill lovers. My experience in game is the total opposite. Players that are casual, like to explore, to “potter”, to craft, to try a bit-of-this, a-bit-of-that are seeing this as the best game in years to cater to their playstyle.

Anyway, I’ll leave it there.

Although, if my theory is true, the following responses will be mainly negative as the forum population will see and answer this, whilst the regular players will miss it because they’re online and having fun

Great event Really enjoyed every element in it. It raises the bar for what MMO devs can achieve in in-game events.

Yes, absolutely epic. A real “I was there” event.

Many thanks Anet and I hope to see many more in the future

Although I feel for you you AngelCole, this system ensures there’s actually an economy, especially at T6.

If you, and everyone else, could farm your needs, the economy would disappear (like it has for lower level stuff where supply>demand).

I’ve played Darkfall Online and EVE in the past few years, and they are probably the most punishing games currently around i.e. full loot, non-consensual pvp.

I love the atmosphere these games create but, quite simply, the market for these games is much smaller than none-to-low-consequence games. It’s simply a matter of economics IMO.

I mean, look at their subs – EVE is ~400k of which I would bet about 50% are alts, DFO had about 10k for most of its life. (Let’s see what kind of subs DF:UW manages to hold.)

Vanguard kept the corpse runs of EQ and IMO they created some of the most enjoyable memories of the game. These have been dropped now – the majority of gamers just don’t want them apparently.

IMO – time-wasting elements are crap and I’m glad they’ve done away with them. With the average gamer age now being in the 30’s, we have lives, families, jobs etc and don’t have 1 hour to just meet up with a group. However, I do wish there were penalties for not playing well – it makes people learn to play better.

It would be a brave, and probably a lot poorer, company that would release a AAA game with them in.

Greater trait: Lingering Curse – seems to have no effect at all. With or without Haemophilia it does not add 33% to condition duration.

EDIT: It seems to affect all conditions on the sceptre EXCEPT bleeding…the most important one :P

Sorry to be annoying but…

I thought this initially as I was levelling tailoring until it occurred to me: Without this element there’d be a lot smaller economy.

The required amounts to craft are MEANT to be too high as you level to force up demand. This demand is then supplied by people wanting to make money from harvesting.

The game as a whole would be far poorer without this element.

@Username – yes, me and many people in my guild have the same issue. One guildie will queue and get in in 15 mins, whilst others queue all evening and don’t get in. It seems to be totally random and not a ‘queue’ system at all.

I’d really appreciate a transparent and server-wide position in queue number.
