Guild Wars 2

Not a full story. You said what they did. We don’t know what YOU did. This can go either way. No point in us commenting without knowing what happened.

If they were fighting those eles and you were busy securing an escape route, i would want to kick too. If you were running around pulling all eles, that would be the same case.

I would call it out the first or second time it happens, but that’s about it. Just because they didn’t say anything, doesn’t mean you didn’t make any mistakes. But also doesn’t mean you made any mistakes.

I know this isn’t exact answer to your question about seeing blue but if you want to keep your current graphics, keep an eye on VG. He stops, turns for a second and turns back to tank. Thats his telegraph for blue circles. Dodge at 2 seconds from there.
Of course you won’t be able to simply walk out of aoe (well, because you cant see it) but you won’t be ported. A little dps loss when u dodge out & come back in but its only VG so you should be fine.

Most of this price increase revolves around players that are pushing the value up due to the players willingness to pay more. If players are willing to pay more for an item, it’s going to keep increasing until eventually it hits a ceiling for the commodity. We’ve seen the same thing occur with numerous commodities over time.

Right now there is a consistent supply of mystic coins entering the game (way more than are being consumed) and churning through the trading post at a very slow rate. Most of the coins on the market are ones that have been flipped.

In retrospect, this is actually causing the daily login reward to be worth significantly more to players who wish to convert mystic coins to gold.

In normal situations, thats how supply and demand works but I believe your logic to be flawed till some point due to the vitality of the item. They are critical components in many things that can’t be bypassed. If you want a legendary (which would be an end game in terms of gear grind), you have no choice but to buy them. It’s like some merchant hoarding water in a drought (well, not as critical!!!) while govt keeps the water supply limited saying “oh our stats show that there is more than enough water in the state/country”. With not enough supply of water, you would turn towards the merchant and merchant would drive up the pricing.

Sure, one would pay the price the coins since they need that legendary done but the gold did come from somewhere and now the person who was planning to buy 2 things can buy only 1. While hoarders would only hoard more feeling secure and drive up prices. In last 5 months, the price has gone up by almost 400%.

Hi,

I am looking to create a static raid group (9 more people) to finish all 3 raid bosses in about an hour or hour and a half on a set weekday night (About hour after the daily reset) every week.

Basic requirements are: know the raids, have killed all 3 bosses at least 5 times, have at least 2 classes fully geared and know how to fully play them. I don’t care much about DPS race or no updraft stunts. I dont hate such things but essentially, I would just like to finish the fights on one or two go at most.

The whole idea for this group is to finish content in about 90 mins so this will not a teaching group. Please reply here on in game (MizuTsuki.5867) if you are interested.

Thank you!

I understand your panic & unwillingness to pay higher price but there are lots of people who play TP and are COUNTING on that whole method. There will be crafting components available on TP and they will sell high. Thats how it works. If you don’t want to pay high prices, farm those mats & sell them… Eventually prices will cool down (couple months or so) and then you can go ahead and buy them.

Minimum specs are for 35GB available on your HDD. This probably includes the base game, since they are bundling it for new players, so you can infer the size of the xpac by subtracting the current .dat file size from this amount (35-22.3 ~ 13GB). It probably won’t be that big, since they want extra space for patching and all of the additional info they want to save to your machine (like screen shots).

That being said:

1. Rightly or wrongly, ANet isn’t going to take this into account when designing the game. If you are able to consistently play an MMO, something that is per se data intensive, they are going to assume that, if you are capped, the cap won’t meaningfully impact your experience.
2. Sadly, capping isn’t just a third world issue. I live in the SouthEastern US and Comcast caps my data (but it’s just so they can nickel and dime streamers and people who work from home). That being said, I usually just bite the bullet.

The thing you want to keep in mind here is that HoT ships with entire base game. If you already have base game then I am assuming that your client will simply update HoT instead of re-downloading base game. That being said, I still think that HoT would be somewhere between 2-5GB. Perhaps slight bit more but I doubt it would go in double digits because Anet concentrated on functionality rather than flat out content.

They might simply have a new challenge.
It would be nice if they do something like…
Drain all player of their stamina & roll out cone/line of heavy attack. You block it, ppl behind you survives. No dodge rolling…. or even wave of such attacks.. dodge dodge block block.. Out of dodge and block… opps.. two more waves coming.

Or attacks might be just unblock-able.

Who knows what awaits in those dungeons of death. But it would certainly be fun. It would be nice to see if people actually started dropping those zerk gear & actually fighting the boss with its mechanics. :P

But in few short days, they will find a way to remove that challenge and pull the boss in some dark dusty corner to kill him without him moving a finger.

Anet wouldn’t do it because its a L80 area where everything has evolved to kill you. Player starting now or in October would have a too much of a disadvantage. Thats why most of such general world events happen in low level areas (i.e. Mordremoth minions attacking on 10th.)
Holiday events are for everybody to enjoy!!!

With Legendary having switchable stats, it should solve the armor problem (at least for the people who could afford / win it) but yeah, it would be really nice to have a preset for builds. I often set only half traits for the build I need & my boosting traits remains the old ones.
i.e. when I switch to shouts from consecrations on my guardian, my boosting skills are still shortening the recharge of consecrations.

Hi Anet,

I was just thinking about this for a long time and now that I see raids structure, I kinda want it even more.

Would it be possible to have armor wardrobe / set / closet / frame for equipped armor sets and store it away from bag space? I would like to switch entire armor set with one click. I personally play Guardian in versatile mode. Mainly, I support my team and leave heavy dmg to them while guarding them or take heavy hits from time to time. Most of the time, i just use LFG to get a party, but then sometimes my party members aren’t… adapt at dealing high dmg. At that time, I switch to more offensive role. I would like to quickly switch my armor and my skill set to the role I am playing and then later switch back. Unfortunately, more often than not, I don’t get to fully utilize the full potential of Guardian class due to the fact that I have to go back in and find the traits I need. Some times, while I am doing that, I am often left behind and by the time I am done, my party is already dead.

Another problem is bag space. I would really like to keep 3 or 4 sets of armors but 6 pieces each holds a lot of space in bag.

It would be really helpful if I could create some presets and switch them with ease and jump into the battle right away.

What I would like to ask is, are there any plans in such direction?

well…all 4 can be answered in one line..

PEOPLE HAVE GOLD…
during previous events, there was a good overflow of gold.. they need to clean the system so prices don’t raise.. Inflation is a bad thing..

there are more than enough ways to get gold & with steady income, economy needs steady expense to balance the flow.. Unless you are new, 3g is nothing.

Its all good the way it is set up… More gold you have in system, less the value they hold which in turn, will make everything more expensive.

Ascended Gear
So then why did we add ascended gear, well the reason is we wanted sometime between the transition and what we shipped with was very little time turns out global trading post has a lot more effect on this then we had original thought which made us need a non-tradable gear step. We still have some progression to smooth out around the rare -> exotic area as mostly you just jump from leveling greens to exotics and rare is really only used for salvaging into ecto. We have been spacing out adding each slot of ascended gear to make sure we don’t make our original mistake again and I’m sure we’ll need to continue to evaluate the time to gain this gear like we do all things.

I was really excited about the ascended armor… got all my supplies… all pumped up to craft them….
The moment I saw 2 points stats boost in celestial gears, all of that died instantly… there is no legendary armor in the game & ascended armors are expensive…. I think it deserves a boost at least in double digits. Please dont just pack old items with couple bells & price tag over 5 times.

I dont mind paying 5 times the price but I want the item to be worth of the cost!

I cant put runes & sigils on display & cant use tonic while i fight

So with instabilities, fractals are getting harder… but how come there are no titles or minis to show off in PvE that we are the mighty conquerors of the mighty fractals?

Any devs free enough to shed some lights on it? Would really appreciate it

ZudetGambeous.9573:

I’m going to go ahead and call it now. The new level 31+ mistlock abilities are going to be biased against certain classes.

No matter what the increased challenge is, it will always cause one class to suffer more than another.

Thats why you have a team of 5.. you have 4 other ppl to support you! That’s exactly what difficulty is for a team…

Thieves, eles & necros can speed up the fractals really fast IF they know what they are doing.
Most ppl on 40+ using those professions know how to use them.. (Every now & then I get people sucks so bad in 48 runs…But..what can you do?)
The thing is that you cant take big things head on in PvE with light armor & more so in fractals… Those who understand that are pros at fractals… some who arent accustomed to this cause ppl to avoid such classes

I personally like my team composition made of 3 heavies & 2 classes from above.
I dont have anything to say about rangers since I dont see them very often.

I do like the unique dungeon floor boss idea… We can have fights like liadri where players actually have to keep moving and dodging or complete various objective while fighting instead of just zerk meleeing. (Although not exactly to liadri’s extent where u have like a coin worth of space to fight)

But sureshot rewards would be much better.

yeah.. but what I want to see if stretching the class limits.
Instead of the rockhead fighting, I want an instance where “sneaking past” is the right action .. you NEED to have jumping skills & stealth in order to make it through because they are valid parts of the game.

If you want the best armor set in the whole Tyria, you must be versatile & master of all skills that exist in Tyria.. well, throw in those element mastery too.

ahh no not really but I have thought of a tower like this since the start. It would be great if we had something like that which takes more than a week to do.
Fractals were great but it has reached its limit.
It would be nice to have a content that I can play for a while!

I am not sure whether it has been suggested or not but I think this game should have a climbing tower type content. Something like Fractals of the Mists but different in base content.

What I am thinking is more on the line of using & understanding all 8 classes. To display the skeleton I have in mind…

The tower has about 100 floors. One can only do one floor per day. Each floor has multiple sections like fractals but unlike fractals, you can leave after doing a section like a personal story. After completing each section, you get a key which will let you continue when you return after leaving. The tower can be done solo or 2 men cell but not more than that.
(The reason for 2 men is because some people may not want to spend gems on getting character slot expansion)

The content of each section however is completely different than fractals. The main objective is not just a brutal mindless fight where you can zerk your way through. Well, there will be fights but not the center point.
Each section is specifically designed with a class in mind and you must use that class in order to complete it.
The section will fully utilize the class skills and higher you move, it will point to one specific area of the class. You will have to re-trait your character in the area that the section desires & master it completely in order to pass through. Higher levels will push you down to your limits squeezing every bit of performance the class can offer.

i.e. The section designed for guardians will have enemies that are susceptible only to fire dmg and will drop conditions of you. Burn them and cleanse them. At higher levels, every bit of burning counts. For thieves, every second of stealth counts. For rangers, every bit of healing counts.

The content can have obstacles that can only be cleared with certain skills. Few tasks could be time limited so recharging your skills and using them at the right moment & in right sequence also counts. Perhaps, party of 2+ can be allowed at higher levels where you must have 2 or 3 certain classes in order to pass through but that comes down to finding a right party so this could create some frictions but a part of MMORPG. Perhaps, you can get character slots as rewards on your way up to let you get your own 8 classes.

Level 100.. behold…. you have mastered all 8 classes and hence GW2. You can select a weapon or armor of gods that stand above Legendary. Oh btw, your progress has been set to Level 1.
5 more armor pieces to go!

What do you guys think?

How do u kill spur?

I would like to join.. thanks!

Would love to join.

That would cause much grief.. try playing a high level fractal with an unbalanced team. Or Arah.. You would pull your hair out!!!!!!!
The repair cost alone is a pain… losing more would simple make people avert the hard contents since most people go PUG.
While it may provide some motivation to hardcore players, most will detest this idea!

As the title says, the colors on previews are okay but in action, they are way too dull. After putting around 50g in a GS, I would love to see it glow more brightly. The weapon design & shape itself is too simple so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make it glow a bit more.

Even a 5g cobalt burns with more passion than my Wupwup Claymore! QQ

Jabberwock.9014:

Yes please. This is about the only reason why I never salvage greens.

You & me both, bud..
Well, in normal cases I prefer to sell greens but when my bags are full in the middle of an event like invasion or dungeon/fractal, I sooooooo wish I could just one click salvage it instead of checking each item to see if its blue or not and just get back to my fight!

For greens, I would perma turn it off… specially now since it drops something worthwhile.

BrunoBRS.5178:

reason we don’t see much of him is probably because he’s busy as it is underground. zhaitan never bothered to leave orr, there was plenty to have there, and i imagine the same applies to primordus. no reason to push = no push.

Ohhh…Zhaitan pushed… he went as far as attacking Lion’s Arch when no one was poking him. Its only after his attack at LA, the orders united & start pushing some real lines. Once taken over LA, he could have used the portals to go after any home world.
I mean I agreed that the dwarves are pushing his minion but they are limited in number unlike the destroyer force…

I wonder why Primordus cant make more champions? The resistance to him is only breaking by each passing day. Isn’t it their sole role to corrupt / destroy all lives as we know it?

Primordus was first to rise thus he has been in this world the longest. By game/story definition, he should be the strongest (since he has accumulated more experience than others).
Destroyers are plaguing the Mt. Maelstrom but they have yet to spread unlike risen. So why the first one is lying in peace while the followers are out & about causing havoc? Jormag is haunting Shiverpeaks (Which reminds me, are Kodan going to be a driving force ever? They seem so pushed out of the tyrian picture) and Zhaitan even took over a whole country.
Also, Kralkatorrik has yet to return after his encounter with Destiny’s Edge.

Will no dragon dare to avenge death of Zhaitan?????????

Is it a coincidence that Kiel is running for the seat of the Captain Counselor she let be assassinated? Either she’s incompetent or evil.

Gnashblade is a cunning businessman that can realpolitik his way through the Captain’s Counsel. He’s by far the superior candidate.

I can’t agree I more, I mean Gnashblade could buy the vote at any time but he doesn’t because he has integrity unlike that incompetent wannabe caption who lets face it killed the old counselor member for her own gain and covered up her own blunder by finding the nearest pirate and blaming it on her.

Thats it…… You have made an enemy out of me!!!!!!!

To restore Kiel’s honor….. I will see you in the mists! >:}

VOTE for Kiel. No politician can do a guardian’s job!

it will never scale up the way you are expecting because you dont have gears & runes to enhance your upgraded stats.. specially ur armor & attack. Your skills also play a great deal of part in your survival so :P

Can anyone please tell me where is it open now?

I am not sure if its a bug or intended but my fractals bags are unable to compact /sort. The empty space remains empty.

Hey there,

I will keep it simple. I am from Megumma
I am starting a new guild that will focus on upgrades towards Fractals, event gains and dungeons like magic find and exp/karma boosters. If you feel like you can fit in, please let me know. Everyone is welcome

All the dude is saying that Guardian class has limited options when escaping.
Skills have nothing to do with the post.

Skills + Means >>>> Skills

It will be always like that… And while you are emphasizing so greatly on defender’s skills, why wont you bring in the skills of attackers in the equation? Attacker is also doing his best to make sure that you don’t escape.

You all have agreed that Guardian lacks in this front.

I am playing guardian because I love the class & I wont change. Guardian can stand at some places where others fail. i.e. I have cleared the harpies fractal with just 2 falls with another guardian. Two of us went the whole way due to our support skills.

But that doesn’t change the fact Guardian class has some fatal weaknesses hard-coded in it. You cant say, “Ohhh too bad for you.. You need to be really skilled to play Guardian”. That’s simply not the point here.

10 sec is not normal :P
Yesterday I was no help at all in CM’s last boss fight…. I would stop attacking and by the time I catch up, I am dead already.
Today is even worse… I am getting full download/upload speed so its not my net.. Unless my ISP is trolling me by cutting off my gaming traffic
