Jungle Worm is underscaled

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Magistrella.6970

Magistrella.6970

To allow QA time to test new changes, most (non emergency) content changes go into the next monthly content update. I made the change right after the March update was finalized, so it will be in an update later this month (assuming it passes QA.)

Ah i see i see, thanks for the useful information, guess ill try to get the worm before work or in the night until then.

I can’t confirm the before mentioned problems tho, the pre events might melt away but everyone still gets the bonus chest / boss rewards if they are there in time. But then im not playing on a server that has high population all day long (Kodash)

Thanks for the link, havent found the thread. But the change that is mentioned there is 12 days old, but still (happend trice today) the worm died before the event started.

At least i now know you guys are aware of the problem

Thank you (‘-’)/

“Stop being selfish and attack it before I can attack it.” “Everyone is totally selfish, because I can’t attack it.” “Everyone should wait until I can attack it.”

Seriously, yes, the worm is horribly underscaled – most likely due to the low level area. Same applies for Chief Shaman and Fire Elemental.

Don’t try to fight against the system. Try to fight by following the rules.
In your case: Get your melee weapon or AoE skill and do the same as everyone else. The way the worm is scaled right now, it’s meant to fight like this.

You really should read more carefully… it is not about crying because i do not get loot (because i would if it would work properly)

The problem is that the worm dies BEFORE the event starts and NOONE gets anything, and i doubt doing the same as everyone would fix anything

Got it now?

k? thx! bye (‘-’)/

Well im not sure if that is a bug or not but here goes:

Lately there is more and more Jungle Worm event chains ending with a big fat nothing for everyone, because the worm is dying before the event even started. No Bonus Chest, no event reward, no normal chest. One Aspect of the problem is certainly, that the worm is attackable before the event even begins, you can do that with melee and AoE Attacks. Another problem is definitly the scaling of the worm (if he would scale right, like behemoth, he would not die before the event starts), sometimes he dies in 5 seconds (go figure)

So i tried to stop people attacking before the event spawns (or at least only hit it once) but as you can guess, that is not working because the human beeing is built to be a selfish kittenous beeing~

The only solution to that problem, atm, is for me to do the worm between 9pm and 10 am MEST because basically thats the only time you can kill it without above mentioned problems, and as you can guess, it is more a hassle then a solution.

Magistrella.6970

There is one in Wayfarer Hills, the one with the Shaman. It should be level 11 (or 14? definitly one of both) for the last event. Before and arround that are a lot of events going on which makes this the fastest zone to level in due to the sheer mass of events in a small space

Fractals is not a dungeon?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Magistrella.6970

Magistrella.6970

No Fractals dont count as dungeon for the Monthly

That’s why there is a seperate possible fractal monthly part.

If you want to complete it you have to do a Story or explorable out there. I recommend AC, its so easy with a guild group to finish all pathes and the story in under 2 hours

Transmute legendaries

After the 28th Update they should not anymore.

As stated:

Transmuting weapons now preserves the higher rarity of the two items.

The only reason not to transmute now is if you use a precursor, as they will loose the property to be used in the Mystic Forge for the Legendary reciepe

Seeing as you get on an Overflow on my server (Kodash, pretty well populated) in LA from arround 9 am till 2 am(!), i’d say you would not miss the people here.
Oon low population servers you probably wont miss the 2 that would stand near the AH that aren’t there now. The other cities are nearly empty anyways here as well

Guild Halls were there in GW1 tho, and i really want them back. Spend time and money in your guild and no more unnecessary running arround in the city as you just got all the NPCs you need close by (kinda like Rata Sum)

February monthly

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Magistrella.6970

Magistrella.6970

Actually, the number of dailies needed is 5 since after completing the daily it was at 20%

Yep, thats right, after completing the daily you get a tracker for the montly.

I wouldn’t assume that, actually. Given that the daily tracker uses lazy math for its completion percentage (20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 being the only valid values, incrementing only upon total completion of a category) it’s entirely possible that the monthly uses the same lazy math (incrementing by 1/5 for each tier completed).

Wrong, completing 5 events gives you 5% on that and a total of 100 is needed. Same with the salvage, you need 500, 5 = 1% 10 = 2% etc

So yeah, you only need to do 5 dailies to be done with that one.

Would You Still Play if There was NO Loot?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Magistrella.6970

Magistrella.6970

Simple answer: No

no skin and stat progression except for doing dungeons/dailies etc. and get stuff with currency.

That would be a worse grind then my legendary is atm. No Crafting, no legendaries (at least not the way you can get them atm), less skins, les joy when you get lucky and loot 3 onyx lodestones for your Twilight in one FotM daily run etc

tl,dr still the same answer: no

Well they didnt say they will change the montlies to that in the “next” patch but i remember reading a dev statement where they said they are working on changing the monthly the same way as they are changing the daily at the moment. The x out of y for the dailies will be implemented as soon as they are sure all the new dailies work correctly. Which probably means they will do that for the monthly as well and hopefully implement that soon. I really hate to do WvW when the rest is pure PvE which i do as i play

You need to read “Evaded!” on the screen. If you do any dungeon or fractal on the day, you are most likely to get it done automatically anyways. With my playstyle i normally get it while doing the events and the rest of the daily. If you dont or cant due to lag/old hardware… Go find an AoE and roll through it :/

It is way better then killing 60 mobs each day or find 15 different types, but thats just me~

Your own legendary weapon

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Magistrella.6970

Magistrella.6970

name : Masamune
type : Samurai no tachi: Traditional Samurai katana used by the bushi(warriors) until the Edo Period
skin : Slightly curved Tama-hagane steel with a silver polished blade and a scabbard with Soul Binding Runes to keep it in the Sword. The hilt has the Kanji for Masamune carved into it which glow with a purple shine at all times.
effect : Mix of blue and Purple mist arround the scabbard when not drawn. A soul explosion with the binding Kanji on the Scabbard getting shattered by the soul that is captured in the sword. When hitting you leave a blue mist in the air. You can hear the wailing of Masamunes Soul when you are not hitting anything with it.

It is a Greatsword that changes different animations like a quick draw at the end of the Warrior Charge Skill #5 or the third chain skill on #1 is an upper slice etc.

Well, thats just me – but maybe i just played the samurai class in FFXI too long~

Go to the wiki,please. There are enough loot tables and templates to work with which is a hundred times better then to try to force it in a forum thread that will be swallowed in less then a day to the second or third page. If people want to find information about drop chances or reciepes, they most likely are to check on the wiki. Just use the “/wiki search term” command to get to the wiki ^.~ saves time and the more people work on it, the better it gets

Monthly achievement already over?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Magistrella.6970

Magistrella.6970

as in the wiki :

The monthly achievement counters reset at the same time as the daily achievement counters on the last day of the month at midnight UTC

If you dont know what time UTC is: http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_UTC.aspx

UTC stays always the same, no matter which time changes there are. If you have daylight savings (winter time) it is the same as GMT 0:00am (first day of the new month) in MET 1:00 am(first day of the new month), EST 7pm(the day before, as in the last day of the old month) or PST 4pm(same as EST, last day of the old month). In the summer it is one hour later, as UTC stays the same but daylight savings time doesnt exist anymore (summer time) which makes it: BST 1:00am(first day of the new month), MEST 2:00am(first day of the new month), EDST 8pm (last day of the old month) and PDST 5pm (last day of the old month)

now i hope that could help, dont miss out on them next time

Greetz (‘-’)/

P.S.: If you want to do it easy, just change the ingame clock from local to server time. As the dailies/Monthlies ALWAYS will change at 0:00am server time

Fractal Dailies

Posted by: Magistrella.6970

Magistrella.6970

I have one question as well. Until today my highest fractal lvl was 18. I did a lvl 20 daily with my guild. We finished it, I received a daily chest. An hour ago I did lvl 6 with PUG. At the end I didn’t receive any daily chest. So my question is, do you only get one daily chest from now on?

Sadly but you can only receive one daily chest. That what happened to me too. It is making sense since they combined all level fractals into one big pool. If we can still receive daily in 10, 20, 30, 40, etc. then level 4 fractal can at least receive 4 daily rewards if completed all of those daily.

I see! But is there any official word about this? I don’t think I’ve seen it in the patch notes!

What time were you running? You might have finished the second dungeon after daily reset (7 or 8 pm EST i forget which) which would have caused you to get two daily reward chests in one day. I do the same thing with regular daily achieves since I have college all day.

Definitly did it in one day (as it resets at 01:00 am here) and still got both chests, its probably a bug or something else that just doesnt work out with the new system, but then i only did a 10 and 8 run today cause i was lazy

Pristine Fractals Useless

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Magistrella.6970

Magistrella.6970

They didn’t want people to buy ascended amulets on the first day and be done with the new “content”. Their current design is to make you think you are getting more content by calendar gating you from upgrading your gear (no matter how much you play, you can only get one laurel a day, this puts a hard cap on how long it takes you to get an amulet). Compare FotM rings and their Pristine Relic cost and then look at the Laurel cost of the rings. That’s more than three times as much time to get it, and unlike the Pristine Relics, there is no way to obtain more than on Laurel a day (nor is there a way to get an amulet through other means – I got two fractal rings from the daily in my first five days of farming it).

Earning your gear is too easy for people to work hard and achieve their goal. ArenaNet wants to put more and more content behind RNG barriers or calendar gating, all to make you play longer without giving you more content to do. Had they sold amulets for Pristine Relics, most people wouldn’t buy them with Laurels – the Pristine Relics are much easier to obtain (and plenty of people would buy them at launch).

Exactly this, but why would i want an amulet with an Offensive/Defensive infusion slot faster then on the 16th of february (earliest date possible, 20 dailies and 1 monthly) if i dont do fractals. Adding them to the NPC for Pristine would’ve been the right step. If you do FotM you invest time to get ascended gear so you can progress, but now you have to invest your out of FotM time as well to progress even further then possible. The utility can stay with laurels only in my opinion

All in all: I’d have rather used my laurels on a minipet or those nice MF 20% infusion for an Utility Necklace then spending the first 30 on a necklace to progress further

I could have sworn you can right click to join/invite. I invite my friends with right click every day. I’m not sure if it’s lacking on whisper, but I’ll try that later.

You can do that in guild list and i think in /w if they are on the same server – will test this later on the next fractal daily pug

Well done ANET. Congratulations from scaring most casuals (5 in my guild that wont enter dungeons besides fractals again until this, in my opinion too, bad change gets changed back) away from the dungeons. Its a good thing to make things harder, but why dont you just add a Hard Mode to dungeons then like in gw1? People that want to know the storylines of all pathes and ofc, the storylines are basically screwed if they are not top notch players in certain dungeons.

Check gw2lfg and the amount of people that can be found for any dungeon runs. Basically theres 3/4th less then yesterday. Well done and good bye relaxed pug dungeons runs~
Guess ill have to annoy the guildies that have faster reflexes rather then the 50 year old nice guy i prefer to play with

Im done with this, ill just end my project “get to know all storylines and pathes with guildies”(i actually like to play with) – thank you ANET again

1.Laurels are account bound and you see the icon in your Inventory next to karma
2. At the moment (Note that ANET already announced that you will get Laurels for other achievements as well in the future) you get 40/41 laurels a month which means you could afford both rings as one costs 20 or a necklace and have 10 left over
3. the bought stat laurels are useless. they have 1 less stat then the offensive/defensive that can be crafted in the Mystic Forge and they even come with agony resist if you are a FotM runner, yaaay

If you want to go for different sets that’s your thing, you’ll need many laurels to do so, but using boosters/karma banners/guild karma boost will do more then 15% karma on an extra amulet you spent a whole month on getting (note that you can get 40 jugs of karma for each 7.500+ karma making it alone 300k+ a month, wait what? o.O) will not really do you anything good as you got way more karma in the process then the 15% will give you the next 7 month. (bang for the buck anyone?)

The only reason to get me a second necklace per character would be the magic find one. 30% magic find on just the necklace is good enough reason for that.

@Interpol: Dailies and monthlies are accountwide, so you only can do them once per day, as in 1 laurel a day, 10 a month

For the future items, whatever they may cost bring it up. 4k+ Achievment points and waiting to get laurels for the stuff i’ve done yet

Greetz (‘-’)/

P.S.: A 6% increase in stats is not a threadmill, especially as you can do everything in this game with exotic gear. Its a reward for dedicated and long time players. If you dont want to grind, dont do it, its not a necessity.

Triggers for certain parts of the UI to turn on/off in general would be nice. And this daily/monthly UI is not acceptable… if you unfold it you would think it would stay this way NOOOO wrong! It folds up after every update and you have to unfold again.

Honestly: Opening the character menu + click is faster then getting my mouse to the upper right corner…

Dungeons

Polished dungeons and removed the ability to use waypoints while any player is in combat.

what the freck?

Sryously? We die in a bad spot in a boss fight where you can not be rezzed (say, in the Lava in the Flame Citadel because we got knocked in by accident) and pay the repair cost of 1s+ and have to watch our comrades eventually wipe because we could not rejoin and helplessly watch them waste away?

You made a system with no designated healers which keep people alive but now practically force us to seek for certain builds, like a heal ele or a support guardian, to do certain bosses. Something like, let’s say Subject Alpha in CoE, which is just a major pain in the butt with feeled hundreds of too big AoE circles that hit a glasscanon for 3-5k each. Wasn’t your motto that ANY group could do ANYTHING. Well we tried that with a mix of 5 dps and barely even made the last boss even tho we could run back in CoE path 2 and practically zergrun it. Now people can come and say “that we are bad players”. Sure, but personally i dont think so. We rarely die, and we just get overwhelmed by a over powered boss easily if it goes bananas because we have no tank or healer with us on a regular basis.

oh well jeez im ranting too much…

in a nutshell:

In my eyes a BAD decision which will cause much frustration to many casual players out there. I like taking casual guys because you could just say when they died: “No worries. Port <insert Waypoint name> there and join back in the fight.” now you have to struggle (rezzing solo takes what? 30 seconds?) to get them back up and hope they dont get downed while they are still at red damage level

meh ok now for sure /rant off

Everything else i am pretty happy with as far as the changes concern me and the way i am playing, even tho a friend is biting his own kitten as the rich ori vein got changed and he didnt get his 500 ingots for twilight yet xD

whisper, guild chat, party chat doesn’t work most of the time. Others can see what I wrote but I can’t and what others wrote in these chat channels are not showing up too.

Sometimes it’s fine, I can send messages and receive them in these chat channels but eventually it bugs out.

The message I sent either shows up about 1 minute later or not at all, I can’t see what people wrote.

/map /say /team is working fine though

Can confirm that, since friday or saturday i ALWAYS bug out in the evening from arround 5p.m. gmt to like 1-2 a.m. then everything works fine again.

Can not use /g /p or /w but can /m /t and /s

The Guildtag of me and fellow guildies goes [] and all guilds i am in have [] in the guild menu as tag too.

Cant leave or join parties, as the party menu does not update anymore. Can not build/use updates in the guild nor do i see anyone online. I appear to be offline for them as well.

This is really inconvenient and sometimes after a 30 seconds+ or so i will get a Login Server can not be reached error message when i try to leave a party etc.

Will try to fetch the error code so you can get something more specific

What if we still want to keep the authenticator active at all times because we are a paranoid bunch of scaredy cats? ^o^

Personally i’d like to still have it as im logging in from a student dorm where like 20 or 30 people share the same network ip, and i have no clue if any other resident plays GW2 as well and/or has no good intentions etc. etc.

Putting in 6 numbers is no big deal for me, but for others it seems so, so could you give us an option for “always ask for authenticator” and “Only use Authenticator on not remembered networks” or so?
