Guild Wars 2

Mara.6782:

It was good episode until i got stuck with fighting my self in shining blade trial. I dont know what i need to do, so this episode was over for me i guess. Now waiting for dulfy’s help. This kind of puzzle should stay out of story instances or atleast give better hint what to do. Really gave me bad taste for this episode

You need to speak with the ghosts of Caithe, Eir etc, then use the skill it gives you, that will make “yourself” be very vulnurable for attacks

Same for me, got them all down but can’t touch her and the barrier is still up

Yeah but mesmers are a rare treat in my teams, so it’s usually up to me to play close. So assuming this, how do I best support my team? Maybe it really is time to let go of the engie, such a shame :/

Hey guys! Want to say first that this isn’t another MM is rigged thread. Let’s continue.

As an engie I usually want to go close, because whatever 1v1 that end up being there I can win (except if it’s a bunker of some sorts, but then I can at least hold that point for as long as it stays a 1v1).

But what usually happens is that a thief comes and harasses me, making me unable to assist mid. My team usually lose the mid fight and from there on its usually the normal “play the sides”. Which is just more of me trying to go mid but find an ele bunker there which I can’t kill. And then their thief comes back and force me to go close, and my team lose the far fight over and over.

Not entirely sure where I’m going with this if I’m being honest. But perhaps, what’s the best way to play close and still support my team? Maybe it’s just time to drop the engie all together (even though I’m really good at it)?

Thanks in advance!

WoS is also a target skill, and you don’t need to go into a specilization just to be able to run it.

Maybe he thought you were guys were the Red Team? ;D

Found this thread after a friend reported having trouble finding any. Looks like you are correct, must be a bug that makes it so they do not appear. My friend even found the texture of the Cow Pie on the ground, but no cow pie :/

I guess just report and hope for a quick fix!

Vicky.4563:

How to know if you have a halfway decent team?

Nobody says “Hi everyone!” at the start.

Nobody types “GLHF” into the mapchat before the match starts.

Nobody says “Just focus on 2 points, don’t push far!”

Nobody is jumping around the spawn area.

Nobody is running DH.

If anyone does any of the above during the start of the match, I have a 90% chance of losing.

So being polite and showing good sportsmanship now qualifies as being inexperienced? And if my team didn’t greet me then I’d have no faith in them being able to perform the most simplest task, as to hold a two cap instead of becoming greedy.

Magira.6390:

A good player adapts the strengths and weaknesses of each team and can win with any team.

This^ Do the Batman style, be what your team needs you to be. This doesn’t mean that you need to take on that roll as the carry, sometimes maybe it’s best for you to take a step back and let somebody else do their thing.

Monster, Ellie – not trying to defend them in any way, and don’t really know why you wouldn’t want a thief tbh (they’re excellent this season). But you’re queued for a ranked match, you should understand people want to win.

You’re being worse than they are, you’re making 3 other guys lose just because 1 guy ticked you off, not cool. Not. Cool.

Hello there! I need to get a set of ascended gear for my WvW guild, I’ve been putting it off for a year or so (mainly because I detest crafting). And I just now noticed that if you complete the Legendary Armor collection (as it stands now) you get a set of ascended gear. Or do I?

Is it possible to get a full set of ascended armor by doing the raids along with HoT content? And do you guys think this is a viable way? I really do not want to craft it :/

Thanks in advance!

I just ended a 13 win streak, all solo queue :p

Darknicrofia.2604:

2000k matches?

jesus christ

Must be some sort of a world record for games in general o_O

OnT: I’ve noticed that the Batman approach is good to get out of the lower divisions “Be the player that you team needs”. IMO you kinda have to carry the team in lower divs in order to secure a winrate of ~75% (which you kind of need to get up the divisions w/o too much of a hassle).

Be the rotator, be everywhere – be the map.

I try to do this when I feel that their team is more tanky than ours, or if they have a thief and I have a hunch that he’s going close ^^

I think the Medic Gyro would be more beneficial, with the protection on F1

…when I realised that the trait “Master of Corruption” didn’t make it so that “Consume Conditions” applied Chill to oneself when put together with the “Chilling Darkness” trait

PS. Not a necro player

Straegen.2938:

Guardians have somehow managed to escape a nerf-ageddon that has hit nearly every class at some point over the years. This despite it being one of if not the most heavily used classes since the launch of the game. Simply put the Guardian has always been a top class in some form.

Won’t talk about the DragonHunter because I do believe you’re somewhat right on that. But, the reason for that the Guardian has never been nerfed is simply because it’s always been the most balanced class in game.

Sure there have been instances where some builds have been kind of OP but there has always been a hard counter to it.

Simply put, if you’ve been wrecked by a Guardian in the past it’s because you didn’t have the right counter to his gamestyle or you’re just bad. Sorry to say.

There have been other classes that have been used as much as Guardian in WvW, and this is because they fill a very specific and important roll. Take the Elementalist, it’s very much needed for it’s water and firefields. Then you have the Mesmer with it’s veil, portal, nullfield. Warriors have banners, condi cleanse, blasts etc. Necromancers have their wells, and are also used in focus parties along with the thief, which also can give stealth to the parties.

It’s not a matter of the Guardian being OP or anything, it’s quite the contrary. The DragonHunter on the other hand is a different matter. But then again, all the Elite Specilizations are on steroids. Reapers, Chronomancers, TEMPEST, they all are very much better than their older counterparts. Doesn’t have anything to do with the Guardian though.

Sorry for rant. Much Love <3

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

It’s not on the Curated Issue Tracker and I don’t remember reading about this at all. Do you remember where you heard it was a ‘known’ bug?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3q7qmh/revenant_specialization_rewards_unlock_bugged/

But I remember finding at least 3+ more threads when I made my ticket. I believe I also found it in the patch notes. Apparently they added a “Achievement fix NPC” to HoTM, but later removed it, for unknown issues (can only assume they thought they fixed the issue).

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

If you created a ticket at the above link and it’s been 3 days:

• Check to make sure you got an automated response confirming the ticket was created. If not, check your junk & spam folders — your emails from ANet are being diverted somehow.
• If you got the initial response and nothing since, then post your ticket # in: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/GW2-Tickets-for-Review-3-days-older-2

Waow, I just found their reply in my spam for some reason… And it was sent on 5th They asked me to take a screenshot of my traits and contacts window, gonna do it and hopefully they will sort it out. Gonna give you an update afterwards, if other people have the same issue

Thanks for your time!

Never thought about this until now, but I got my Revenant to level 80 soon after HoT released. I’ve maxed out the specilizations as well as the Elite Herald. And the only achivement I’ve unlocked is “Mistward Headwrap” (Unlock the rest of the Mistward armor set to earn your headwrap.)

I read that this was a known bug, and that they added an NPC to the PvP area to fix this, but then removed him after a while (…why?).

So, what’s my options here? Already sent ANet a message about it but I’ve gotten zero response (and that was at least one or two weeks ago).

Thanks in advance!

Rezzet.3614:

i dont mean the design itself sucks it is gorgeously detailed its just that for a Legendary Hammer one would expect something massive and impactful looking and juggernaut doesnt have that as it is The Juggernaut looks more like a Staff than a Battlehammer
it doesnt feel right on a weapon that requires a precursor called The Colossus and then its legendary name being The Juggernaut its dissapointing it needs more oomph asides from just the armor effects

Yeah it’s a bit on the small side :/ Maybe the 2nd gen legendary hammer will be bigger… And speaking of which, weren’t we suppose to see the next batch of 2nd gen legendaries on the 26th?

Malediktus.9250:

The juggernaut uses the background lightning of the area you are in. That is why is looks weird in many places.

That’s the issue, something went wrong when they made the lighting in the HoT maps. Maybe it’s because they’re all quite dark…

Still, I want a fix

Hohou.1508:

I know why it looks bad: you have big white wings…

Etien.4601:

Same thought here, the wings screw up your look a lot.

Well the look really isn’t my main problem, it’s that the armor effect (kind of a big reason why people get it in the first place) doesn’t work properly in the LATEST maps of the game. In my opinion they have to do something about this at the same time they release the new ones.

the juggernaut does need a revamp , but its a visual one for a hammer it looks more like a toothpick when you compare it to everything , timekeeper hammer looks more fitting as a legendary than juggernaut as it is

I don’t entirely agree with you, though to some degree. It has a lot of detail put into it with the quicksilver changing position depending on gravity, it’s also the only weapon (except for the new axe) that alters tour characters armor look. But yeah I see what you mean, when you throw it around it doesn’t really look like a legendary if you take aside the quicksilver splashing :/

But seriously, the armor effect in HoT (and some of the dungeons for that matter) needs to be fixed!

First of all, why is it that the legendary hammer “sucks up” all the light in the new HoT maps? It’s like there’s some sort of different lighting in those maps, that the Juggernaut was not coded to work with (like in CoF, Juggernaut effect is just dark and without any shine). It looks darn right aweful in my opinion…

The legendary hammer is suppose to make you look like you’re covered in quicksilver. And it really does give you that look all over Tyria, except for in the Maguuma Jungle (And some dungeons).

The Twilight Arbor gear that I’m currently using actually, is actually MORE shiny without the legendary equipped (in HoT, that is).

Secondly, may we please finally have the effect transfer to our backpacks? Nowadays when so many people have wings that also function as their glider skin (even though the effect doesn’t work when gliding), it wouldn’t be a bad idea to also envelope the backpieces in quicksilver! And I know that I’m not the only one who would think that.

It’s a super cool weapon, I just wish I could get a more “complete” and consistent look. At this point in time, the only way to get that, is to in fact not use a backpiece at all :/

TLDR; Juggernaut effect doesn’t really work in the Maguuma Jungle as it does in the rest of Tyria. Would also be cool if the effect could carry over to the backpacks, to give a more complete look.

Deleting local.dat and set everything new from default fixed it for me.

Maybe that’s the issue – I don’t have one ;O

You do, everyone does.

Just didn’t know where to look at first x)

And for what it’s worth, deleting the local.dat didn’t work for me…

Beldin.5498:

I came here to look for someone just like you. Just noticed like yesterday that my UI settings had been reverted to default, changed them back and they stayed that way so thought nothing of it. But now it’s like you say on EVERY restart my UI settings go back to default.

Are we twins or does anybody else have this? Please fix

EDIT: We’re not alone x)

Would upgrading maybe help my bad dips in FPS?

Looking at a wall I get 90+ but usually runs at 60-70 and if there are people ore great LOD distance I might drop into the 40’’s (happens OFTEN), worst part ate even worse at around 25-35.

Since I run witcher maxed out at 80 FPS I doubt that it’s my hardware, which BTW is:

i7 4790k @ 4,7 GHZ
ASUS z97-a
2x ASUS GTX 970 Strix
250 GB Samsung EVO SSD

You guys think this should help at all? :/

I don’t understand why people get hung up on this? You’ve payed the game for 3 years and payed only 60$ (or something like that) in order to do so. For this money you’ve recieved free updates with content being added (and developed) without the need to pay for any of it.

Now 3 years later, they release an expansion, and with this expansion they make the game Free to Play. UNLESS you want to play the expansion! If you want to play the expansion (granted it was kind of a small expansion for a full game price) you need to purchase it.

How is this in any way wrong? Nobody’s forcing you to buy the expansion, but c’mon mate – you’ve gotten 3 years of update for free. You obviously like the game – why not give the devs some extra cash and insentive so keep making the game good?

New players will be able to see now if they like the core game, they can buy the expansion e.g. the game grows.

I’ve just about had it with these posts. It was a poorly thought through thing to mark out and complain about 3 months ago, and still is.

Sorry for rant.

Oh I thought this was a beta weekend because of TwitchCon… My bad! Remove thread :/

I pre-purchased HoT, and I thought I’d be able to try and make a revenant. But it just tells me to upgrade to “Heart of Thorns” to be able to chose the revenant…

I linked to code, I’ve gotten the in-game items, and I’ve updated the client to the latest :/

Or is it impossible atm?

Hello everybody! I’m new to the forum so I apologise in advance if this is the wrong section.

Let’s get to the point, I have both “Remember Account Name” and “Remember Password” ticked so I never have to type in anything just press the Login button which is very neat indeed.

But a couple of weeks ago I noticed that the password looked somewhat “off”… It only displayed 6 hidden keys, but my password uses far more than 6. As I was afraid I had been hacked I just tried to login as normal without changing anything and it worked perfectly fine.

Once I was sure I remebered my PW I gave it a shot and removed this 6 key PW and typed in my monstrous real PW… And it worked? I was rather confused to say the least.

So is this some kind of security thing? That it doesn’t just hide the real keys but only show the minimun amount of hidden keys, e.g. 6 ******.

I’m very confused, can someone help me out here?

Same issue here, tried to find ways to force it after clearing all the platforms but to no success :/
