Has any else found that the drop rate for obsidian shards has decreased very recently in chests for Southwastes. If so where are some good places to farm obsidian shards now?
I have been using a hybrid dps mesmer from a build I found a while back on meta, the build focuses on bleed stacks with and average of around 40 stacks with bursts of of upto 68. I also have nice sustained regular damage from duelist and sword. I was wondering if anyone else had any other condi builds for mes that are viable in raid like scenario.
Im sorry but to me that is kind of a naive question not saying your rants not valid cause you do have some fair points but completely disabling HOT an expansion in a mmo…
Nah, the real problem is that people just avoid anything harder than the Frozen Maw. To be fair, there’s less and less people doing anything in Maguuma every day, a couple in VB because it’s easy, maybe a DS meta once in a while, but it looks like it’s all slowly but surely dying.
Could also be how they’re populating maps Ive had many that are empty cause of this issue
We need estimated total cost. No point to make ppl waste money if they cant afford 1/4 way thru the process.
So far it’ll be 180g for globs and the icy runes if they’re used againt. A pretty big price Ive seen so far is the Amaglated gemstones currently costing 400g but Im sure thatll may even triple for a few weeks. The gift of lnsight im guessing will be 500-1000g but thats just random and finally precursor crafting which could end up costing a bit. My guess it will end up costing 2500-3500g but remember a net has incentive the more gameplay aspect and will probably take actual game paying rather than gold.
Any word on what/where you get gifts of insight from?
Haven’t seen these anywhere…
Also do you only get 1 gift of maguuma from the map completion? It would really suck to have to do map completion for every single legendary…
Think they have something to do in the outposts system i think they’re also used in armor crafting. And im not sure ive been getting the map comp bug so ill have to wait and see how many gifts you get
Lets start a thread where we can talk about the new legendary crafting coming tomorrow and what will be needed.
So far for Gift of Maguma Mastery you’ll need
*Bloodstone Shard
* Gift a Maguma; aka map comp
*250 crystalline ingots
* Gift of Insight
Wow guys finally after sometime and fostering one of the larger threads that was merged ots like having a very happy child and all has finally paied off
To bad this forum got merged and moved to the bug section where it will eventually be buried because back when I created my version on the gw2 main forum section it had almost 15k views before it got merged.
On another note it’s not like the devs haven’t seen it/read it due to all the changes they have made I guess they’re just not in a place to comment.
Sure 400 may be a lot but how I see it, is that once you get it your class is permanently upgraded and I dont think everyone should have this day 1 unless you do hardcore grind.
And for the fps issue and it being a Cpu game, Gw2 as far as I know has always been a cpu game and doing a complete re-haul in its engine could take many months of work that could be used developing new content
The fact that it’s already feeling grindy by the first/second day is a bad thing
Again if that is grindy to you then what is not grindy to you, you don’t have to farm the same events over and over again and you don’t have to stay in verdent brink.
I know, I didn’t. I got 8/11 of the hero points there, then left because the rest looked like they were gated behind masteries (I later found out that 4 of them were supposed to be, it was a mesmer specific thing that made one of them possible to get without it), rushed through each of the other maps to farm hero points to unlock the chronomancer spec that fixes the awful zoo playstyle of the base mesmer, and was so burned out at the end that I wanted nothing more to do with the new maps.
And this comes back to my point of view where it is only day 1 and that should take it a step at a time and if you ever feel like its to grindy just stop and go do something else and then continue with what you need to.
Im not trying to say that anybody opinion is invalid what I was trying to say is to take a step back and view something that it is in fact first day and that things that are grindy might take some time.
Then your phrasing was off as I read it as you saying the opinions that it was grindy were invalid.
And for skills and traits for a supposedly not any more powerful than any other spec line, it really shouldn’t feel grindy to complete it for the average player in just two days.
Yea I to am only running on about 5h of sleep with playing for about 20h so far so I may not be at 100% cognitive function
It’s not your place to tell people that their opinion is invalid.
Different people have a different threshold for when something becomes a grind. For you it doesn’t happen in a day. But for others it may only be a few hours. Or they’re thinking that when they get to their 5th alt it will be a grind and are speaking up now.
It’s not your place you tell him that his opinion is invalid about his opinion on someone else’s opinion being invalid.
Didn’t say it was invalid now did I? I just said it wasn’t his place to call opinions invalid.
And on the stack you have the opinion of an a opinion on a opinion and non of them are invalid lol.
Im not trying to say that anybody opinion is invalid what I was trying to say is to take a step back and view something that it is in fact first day and that things that are grindy might take some time.
Cant really blame them overly for your fps problem, if they want to make a bigger better game eventually it will cost cpu power its just how all games work. Secondly If you already have that many alts you’re somebody who play the game enough to eventually get them all
There’s currently so many threads and topics just complaining and not many actually showing really cool discovery’s. Sure so of your opinions may be valid however stuff about how content “feels to grindy” which is ludicrous because its only the second day. Truly Anet has done a fabulous job with the release and the actual content so take a step back and appreciate what there is to be appreciated and you’ll have a much more fun time…
Edit: Im not trying to say that the grind about it is an invalid point and even one that I also felt what I was trying to say and see I have failed was that it is only first day and that there may not be things that are completed day one. Sorry to miss say
What’s ridiculous, that Howl got a new skin & it’s comparable to our current effect-less Howler ..
This is what I was most worried about with what could happen, maybe its to much of a complicated bug to fix but would at least like a not on what exactly is going on.
Well here’s to gen2 legends and hope the next warhorn is wicked…
This is a huge disappointment…. Firstly the nighttime effect and footfalls were decreased sure the howl loop was removed (saw this coming) BUT changing existing warhorn sounds and removing our howl is downright sad where other non-legendary warhorn do have at least unique sounds. Sure the howl wasn’t the greatess but dont remove it completely, with HOT coming out and new sounds being recorded I really hope that they update the sound as well a rework of the footfall of the Howler and the cherry on top would be to have the nighttime effect…
Well at least its actually worth some gold now howler…
Honestly sure the footfall effect could be a little more noticeable but the nighttime effect is what I really want imagine in the new HOT maps where they have actually long nighttime that are also darker, wpuld be so cool
Just an fyi if you care anet that for experience booster change it onky says 50 and not 50% dont think it was intended and got me a little confused lol
I thought there was meant to be a big panel today showing of masteries but see no info on it so far just wondering if anyone has some information on this
Im so hyped that these legendaries will be involving story and having even possibly a backstory to them. Even that its only three being introduced if they are truly hard to get these legendaries will actually mean something. Something else that could be introduced is a miniature back story to each of the gen1 legendaries threw they’re pre crafting system and the types of tasks that are involved ie dancing in front of the queen for moot.
What do you think could be some fun backstories for the new and old legendaries even if they never add them?
Little confused if the legendary PoI is going to be this week or the next because Rubi announced it saying you won’t see it coming this week then changing it by saying definitely will see it this week. Just looking for clarification if not could always wait another week
Saying it is this week https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CLpkB4gWsAEEB50.png

I think part of the problem here is anet fixes bugs that the community is really upset about. This thread is at 5 pages but it’s really old. It’s not nearly as active as the HOM or GWAMM threads…..
Here the other thing. A lot of people choose not to make howler because this is such a known bug. So there’s less pressure to fix it because people just don’t make it because it’s broken.
I’d still love to see this fixed. I posted a few times here and although I don’t have howler I’d make it if we saw this fixed.
In a way I can disagree to this, a reason why I think it was so heavily ignored was because warhorn was an under utilised weapon however now tempest has warhorn and ele being more widely used class this might require more attention. If this is such a widely known bug and how legendary are a main part of the endgame i would be insulted for them to ignore this and how they also fixed other legendary that were bugged.
Well Reaper still has the potential to have very hight dps with their ds so all we can hope now is to have high numbers and for them not to be nerfed
And commen Tempest overdrive skills their so cool
REJOICE supporters of howler fixes. Recently ele was anounced to be getting warhorn and considering it will most likely become a much more used weapon the warhorn anet might pay more attention to warhorns
Edit: WP also mentioned how the howler is broken meaning that many more will know our endeavours and this shall warrant an even greater response
So practically confirmed ele will be getting warhorn but why all the fuss? Sure eles wanted a cleave wepon but considering how much aoe you already have thats not the most prevalent thing they need. Theyll also be geting 8 weapon skills in total all which shall be quite powerful considering they’re your 4 and 5s. Finally fits a lot more thematically the idea of calling down storms with warhorns.
I honestly don’t mind at all how the necromancer plays and all, I would give up all theses changes in order to have a higher dps cause no matter what were at the bottom of the barrel dps wise. The other option could be sticking with this low dps and having more access to good utility
I want to say they’re just re using assets but my guts telling me there is a more hidden tale. Both zommerus and the anomaly have unclear stories and both pure magic. Hopefully this can be explained a little more.
I’m so happy to see the support to continue on this thread!!!
Another issue I have now thought about is that the fact of the new precursors coming with HOT and being that the new precursor for Howler will end up being like the one for the moot and that means that it’ll practically be the legendary however with out the lighting effects (this isn’t confirmed however very likely do to design)
Thirdly with the new night system in the hot maps it’ll be really cool to have the night time effect again
So threw out la currently there have been hidden words two have been found so far both saying CUTOUT one being quite hidden needing some type of light source any ideas out there??
