Guild Wars 2

Stx.4857:

Fighting your way to the top of the tower can get boring… but if that is the case then just run past the mobs to the next floor… if I can do it on my necro(that has no vigor) and in an overflow server, then so can you!

But you see, that’s part of the problem. I try to methodically and carefully make my way up the tower, clearing out the mobs as I go. The someone goes running by with this enormous train, and my Illusionary Warden clips a few as they go flying by, and then they all come barreling down on me… meanwhile Mr. “I just ran by everything LOL” makes it to the top, and then I have to revive back at the bottom (because face it, hardly anyone is rezzing other people in this), pay my repair fee, then pay my 5s to go back to the 3rd floor to try it again.

I’m not a hardcore player. Been playing MMO’s since vanilla Everquest in 1999, so I get it. For a game that has so gleefully satiated my casual play urges, and has given me something to accomplish each game update, this event is terrible.

I did end up getting to the top, killed the final boss, and got 6 of the achievements, but I will never go back. You pretty much have to find the next zerg rush and pray to Dwayna that you don’t get left behind because you are a slow-running mesmer. The individual chambers and final boss areas are fine for decent solo play, but getting there is awful.

This event results in people on their worst gaming behavior. Even Crushbone D’Vinn train creators weren’t this inconsiderate.

This is not an attack on Stx.4857, and I apologize if it is seen as such. I was just using his comment as an example of what I perceive to be a flaw in this event design.

<<Edited to include disclaimer and apology to Stx.4857>>

And that, boys and girls, is how cows are born and come into this world…

Oh my gosh. I am such an idiot. I was standing next to the guy that sold 375 rare skill recipes the whole time, and never even looked at the tab where they were for sale.

Thank you both for your assistance! Level 400 artificer reporting for duty!

I am looking for some assistance. My artificing level is currently stuck at 392. I did not do any “item grinding” (e.g. like the popular potion guide), and leveled up purely on discoveries alone.

I’ve discovered the luck sigils, tuning crystals, all of the potions that i have found recipes for online, and one each of the level 350 Focus, Scepter, Staff, and Trident using the following inscriptions:
*Berserker
*Carrion
*Cleric
*Explorer
*Knight
*Rampager
*Valkyrie

All of my recipes are greyed out, so item grinding is not even an option. Now what do I do?

These last 8 points appear to be unattainable given my situation. Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks!

These clips are the most amazing and comprehensive descriptions available for the mesmer. I’ve always felt that I’ve been playing my mesmer “wrong”, ie, I could do better, and these videos are fantastic. Thank you!
