Guild Wars 2

It’s boring at Tier4 because the jellyfish boss is such a huge hitpoint sponge, it’s just 5 minutes (feels like) hammering away until it’s dead.

the wiki entry on the Anomaly boss says that it performs an attack:
Star Smash – Heavy melee attack that Launches foes.
(Launch = knockdown / knockback)

Counter with stability skills

I imagine that you need to stay away from the front facing of the boss to avoid the attack.

The home instance node also has a slim chance of generating a bonus Charged Quartz on each strike, my notes suggest long term average is running about 1 chance in every 35 or so strikes.

Norns get it too

Pretty funny, cos I use “Retreat!” on my guardian to run around zones, so I hear the centaur line a LOT.

If you do fractal scale 26 at a personal level of 20, then your personal level will go up by one to 21.
This will NOT however mark scale 21 off the fractal initiate achievement.
Your personal level determines the highest fractal scale you can “open” yourself, so clearly you must’ve been in a party that had a player with a higher personal level (at least 26!)

To complete the fractal initiate achievement, you must play and complete each of the fractal scales 1 through 25 (regardless of your personal level), tho doing so will ensure that you reach at least personal level 26.

I would note that there’s no limitation on what fractal scales you can do, you’re not prevented from going to 26 because you haven’t done 1-25 yet. Completing a fractal scale for the first time WILL check if off the appropriate Initiate/Adept/Expert/Master achievement progression.

+1 for 64-bit

It’s very noticeable I can now raise my gfx settings above minimum “best performance” without crashing after an hour of game play!

You need it done in <25 minutes for the final tier of the fractal legendary backpack…

Suspect I’m never getting that backpack now

level your artificier again on the character that learned the recipe.

Or get the recipe learned again on the character with the right artificer level.

Thin red rings for the traps in Guild Rushs are still a PITA, can hardly seem until I’m practically on top & triggered the trip. I think I get thru most of those things on memorised / muscle memory alone

Teleport’s messed up – can’t use Guardian sword #2 to teleport to a mob standing on a raised step, even tho I can run over, jump on the step AND THEN #2 teleport to him… :P

Same is true of other teleport skills (e.g. Judge’s Intervention)

Teleport in GW2 isn’t a true teleport, it’s more like Shadowstep in GW1 (with the same sort of limitations wrt to pathing)

That smug guy in Divinity who keeps proclaiming “My job is better than yours!” I so wanna punch his face!

Knighthonor.4061:

Hey I had an idea. Why not give all HoT owners, a single 50 slot bag to go into one of our bag slots?
This could help with the lack of inventory.

I’d just like to see the scribe stuff & other new crafting mats going into the storage when I click “Deposit All” :-/

Seems to be newly bugged with HoT and is failing to give out reward chests at puzzle end

Firebaall.5127:

I’m getting the OOM crashes too. Not as quickly as some here, but this has been introduced after a recent patch post HoT launch.

Definitely something wrong. “We are confident’” and blaming 3rd party software isn’t going to cut it as an excuse.

It’s not an excuse if the game was happily working with 3rd party software before HoT, and now isn’t, clearly that shows the problem was introduced with HoT.

+1 for regular crashes.

GW2 used to crash intermittently (maybe after 4-5 hours time), now I feel lucky if I can get 30 minutes in HoT

How are we supposed to play group content when we can;’t be sure of remaining in the game?

Not fit for purpose

EDIT:copypast the link, the forum breaks it!

YW

Which appears to be counting down to 00:01 GMT, rather than 12:01 am PDT
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/its-the-final-countdown/

Tho it rather grinds my gears(!) that 12:01 am is being used to refer to 1 minute after midnight, just say 00:01am , it’s clear AND unambiguous :P

Narrrz.7532:

Biggest turnoff for me in a guild ad is “100% rep req”

Basically, “if you want to be our friend you don’t get to have any other friends”

I expect (hope!) such a requirement will become a moot point once the updated guild chat comes out with HoT and you can then potentially see all your guild chats in one chat window

Not the event, but keeping the Mordrem Blooms (random drops from HoT foes maybe?) and the vendor researchers to trade them in (and please please turn the blooms into currency, not more tokens!)

Haleydawn.3764:

Anet have stated they wont sell numbers on since this feature is purely to keep your account safe only.
Or use the desktop authenticator.

Is this really within Anet’s power tho: I decided to link my phone number with Steam’s authenticator/security system, and the SMS code came from the same number as Anet’s numbers do, seems more like a 3rd party is handling this…

Fire off a support ticket, they might be nice and reverse it…

From some of the prerelease info, it sounds like it’s gonna play a significant part in meta events in HoT

Got portaled, got my 10AP, gone.

There’s nothing in the reward payoff that makes this worth repeating after the achievement.

This “elite” JP (lol) will be dead in a couple of weeks.

4 terragriffs at once and I forgot to pack my stability, it’s like PC ping-pong :/

Not quite the same, but I love some of the cheesy ambient dialogue of NPCs – Divinity’s Reach and that guy who says “My job’s better than yours!”

Character slot sale too plz, kthnxbai

and over priced, 100-200 gems would feel much more reasonable.

have a look round FB for the group: Guild Wars: A New Hope
still plenty of active players if you’re needing a group to play with

Don’t fuss about it, just open chests normally & save ticket scraps etc for whenever skins go on sale for 1 claim tickets

What’s happening with respect to stuff that costs SP to buy, e.g. various items from http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Miyani
?

Enko.6123:

eh I wish they would up the cap to 90 so I can have one of every class (including Revenant) of every race of both genders.

:O I think I’d get stumped thinking up 90 character names!

Atm we’ve got 7-8 members of The Wandering Heroes[Rock] going to the Saturday event

Trouble with acc bound at a fixed price is that folks with lots of character slots/alts would get better VFM than those with fewer slots.

I could live with a gemstore option that buys a bag slot for all your accounts at once, but scales according to how many character slots you have (and a more sensible price per bag slot expansion – 100gems per bag slot expansion instead of 400)

How about:
When double clicking an item to equip it, if it’s replacing an already equipped item, the two merely swap around (so the old item moves into the vacated inventory slot)

I miss /doh and /goteam

also /yes and /no do still work, this produce “<character> agrees” and “<character> disagrees” emotes in general chat

I don’t have a lot of time for skills with a ~30s duration and a 3 minute cooldown :P

or play PvP to complete the Wintersday reward track – the rebreather can be chosen as a reward from the track completion chest

Once you’ve got the collection unlocked, you’ve all the time in the world

A new paid for shoulder skin, hot on the heals of 2 new free shoulder skins from the LS.
Goody goody… :P

at least a rare bag for every champ killed – 1champ=bag, 5 champs=5bags :P

Astralporing.1957:

Still, it’s a relatively easy achievement, unless you are a guardian. Don’t do that on a guardian. Aegis from Virtue of Courage unfortunately does count against the achievement.

Kudos to Anet for not thinking that one through terribly well :P

I’ve kinda skimmed this thread, but I don’t get the complaint…

The collections are about unlocking the Dungeon skins and surprisingly, quite a few of those are out there in the regular world.
I’ve not bought any AC or CM items with tokens, but I have 11/37 & 13/37 respectively for both collection tracks.
Clearly you don’t need to grind dungeons as much as you think.

Curious.
I wouldn’t even start making mystic clovers until I had gotten a precussor drop to make the effort worthwhile.

Interesting to see that many of the GW1 emote commands can be typed into chat without generating an error tho – they just don’t do an emote, clearly a project that got shelved early on

A /roll command would probably allow people to determine if RNG really was random

So people who already have a/some level 80 characters should be able to see and interact with all SP & vistas on a completely new level 1 character?

Would be kinda useful if guild officers could “mass whisper” members, even if they weren’t repping at the time – that way announcements for dungeon runs, fractals, guild mission etc. could still be sent and the non-rep switch back to participate.

It all rather reminds of one of my favour Bruce Sterling books: Involution Ocean.

Don’t think we have quite enough sand for that… yet

Packets of damage caused by DoT (damage over time) & conditions for one thing

Still waiting for account bound commander tag :P

The gem store occasionally sells account bound gathering tools with infinite use/charges for 1,000 gems each

At least this listing lets you go out & farm / stockpile the required level 400 materials against the possibility of “forgetting” the receipes again (preferably before the preditable rise in TP price )
