I used to hate TD, would avoid it whenever possible. But I started running around, completing the meta events and opening up the supply caches, and I ended up learning most of the map. Now its easily my favorite map, because I know it so well. Time and experience makes a lot of the new maps easy to get used to.
It also helps if you have some of the masteries unlocked like the nuhoch wallows

I absolutely love TD. The map is so complex and twists and turns on itself that I am constantly discovering new things, and I’ve spent far more time in TD than any other HoT zone.

I like TD as well. I feel the designers really put in effort to make this map the way it is, complex and with alot of depth, things to discover. The non-linearity of the map makes it hard to navigate at first, so it takes time to learn it which is not a bad thing actually.

Still remember the time when I swam underground to discover a hidden area which looks beautiful with the crystals and all, with a secret jumping puzzle that led to the secret asuran dancing room with an achievement. We need to appreciate this kind of design more.

Beat Chak Gerant but no Mistward Helm Casing

Nocturnal.5023

I’ve managed to complete Chak Gerent meta earlier today(all 4 lanes killed boss) – but I was not rewarded with the Mistward Helm casing.

My guildie who was in the same party as me received it. Our map killed the boss in all 4 lanes.

I suspect it may be due to that I have alot of unopened chest(bottom right of screen).

I hope I can get the reward somehow as this boss is not easy! Been trying for weeks.

No hobbo sack fix *sigh*

…But…but I like my hobo sack. It gave me the impression that I’m off on an adventure through Tyria. Leaving home and all that jazz. kidding aside, I don’t mind the hobo sack at all.

I like my hobo sack too But I wouldn’t mind being able to customize its colors and appearance.

I like my hobo sack as well, my asura engineer looks cute with it. If they are going to change it, I hope they will just add in a toggle button, so people who like it can keep it. And yeah fix the part where backpiece and hobo bag are fused together.

[Suggestions] add fishing (and other demands)

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Nocturnal.5023

Nocturnal.5023

I think fishing is a good activity to add into the game. There are plenty of nice bridges, nice water and scenery in Lion’s Arch for example and they are usually empty. No one bothers to go there and it’s like a lifeless city.

If we designate such areas as fishing zones, with a fishing minigame, it would liven up the place and add another social aspect to the game wouldnt it ?

Failure to reward on guild missions....

in Guild Missions

Posted by: Nocturnal.5023

Nocturnal.5023

For the guild puzzle at least, you don’t get the reward until after the event finishes. A guild leader has to stay in the zone until the puzzle timer completely runs out.

Can’t address the others. My guild does guild missions twice a week, and almost never have problems. There has be one or two, but usually bugged and usually fixed. For example after the mega server was released, puzzles weren’t rewarding at all. That did get fixed, though. We do a puzzle every week.

Not sure what else to tell you.

Just saw this, if so that might be why my guild didn’t get reward. Oh well. I didn’t know that.

My opinion about Diving googles

I managed to get to the goggles, and completed the diving after a couple of dives. The jumps to the goggles is really tricky and I was stubborn not to use any mesmer’s help or any guide except some tips from mapchat so it took me a while. (tried it for about 30mins yesterday and took me about 1 hour today to finally complete it)

Item Prestige: Not being respected?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Nocturnal.5023

Nocturnal.5023

Just wondering, what if it’s a skin you like? Let’s say a Gw1 HOM weapon skin, or a SAB green/yellow weapon skins, or others I can’t remember.

Those took people plenty of effort to get them I would think, so let’s just put a price tag on those, for eg, 3200 festival tokens. Would that be fine? We probably should make a universal token so we can get any skins we want, it doesn’t matter if you have never put a foot onto the event that skin came from.

Item Prestige: Not being respected?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Nocturnal.5023

Nocturnal.5023

Prestige is probably a strong word as in people start taking offense once this word pops up, as it sounds elitist. A souvenir or memento perhaps when you participate in an event.

Having some item available to everyone devalues the meaning behind the memento. It’s like you can just use real money to purchase everything in the game, what’s left with the meaning of actually playing the game?

Item Prestige: Not being respected?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Nocturnal.5023

Nocturnal.5023

Hmmmmm, I see where the OP is coming from, in part, you work really hard to get something, and its a reminder and a badge of pride for your accomplishment.
And then all of a sudden its much easier to get.
Now, I don’t have a problem with anybody having anything I have, this is not taking pride in something just because other people can’t have it. (at least for me, for many others this is the only reason they care, and I do not consider that cool but that’s just me)

The problem, as I see it, is that it feels like it lessons my achievement to a degree. See for me, when I see someone else with the same thing I worked for, I know they went through the same thing, brothers in achievement if you will. A feeling of “aw yeah, someone else who knows exactly what I went through to get this and will actually appreciate it more than most” kind of thing. So I at least like to see other people achieve the same things, and actively encourage people to do them (opposed to a few I know who try to get people not to because they don’t want anyone else to have it)
Then all of a sudden you don’t have to do that anymore, and everyone assumes you got it the new, easier way (heck, I’ve caught myself thinking along those lines, “ha, probly just bought it”) >.<

But to be fair, when you have one-time world changing events being the source of a skin, how do you keep getting it fair to both people who missed the event and people who were there? How do you let newer players in on the new skins without making the older players who worked for them feel like their efforts have been trivialized?

Take the Fervid Censor as an example, I love it, its an awesome skin. But to me that skin belongs as the reward for a set of achievements set on Southsun. That way even if they weren’t here for Lost Shores there’s still that “uh hunh, that Southsun, those Karka, nudge nudge wink wink” with new people who have it.
Now I’ll get “Southwhere? Karkwhat?”

That, to me, is respecting the prestige. You know what I mean?

So my suggestion going forward would be after a big one time kind of event or living story part, instead of leaving an empty space behind, fill it in with leftover traces of the event, like the tower stuff still in QD and Kessex, only have enough stuff to do that its still possible to achieve the meta, if maybe a little longer to do timewise since there’s less stuff around.

I’m agreeing with this and OP’s view. Working for such cosmetic items is what drives some people on, so that there’s a goal to play the content. To make it rather easily available to anyone during a non-related event, the value of the item is lost. During the TA aether path event, I worked hard to complete the achievements in a tough dungeon, and received a nice slickpack which is kinda exclusive. Making it available to people who didn’t do the event just makes the effort seemed insignificant.

Do You Enjoy Zerg Content ?

Nocturnal.5023

Too many zerging kinda content is probably the reason I got burned out and took a break from GW2 since December last year, only just started playing again after last patch. GW2 need more content like Bazaar of the four winds, Queen’s Gauntlet(beating Liadri was satisfying), SAB, TA aether path(fun challenging dungeon). I tend to enjoy those non-zerging events update way more.

Dungeons in gw2,, horrible design.

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Nocturnal.5023

Nocturnal.5023

There are a few fun dungeons and quite a number of boring dungeons with stacking mechanics in guild wars 2.

Interesting ones are some in fractals and TA aether path(tough but really fun imo) as far as I can remember, been out of game since late last year. Overall I feel they still need to improve the dungeons somehow to make them fun, challenging and rewarding at the same time as most of them at the moment feels like a grind.

I agree with the guy above that loots can be further improved, to make the game more exciting.

No "Dark" Environments in Guild Wars 2

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Nocturnal.5023

Nocturnal.5023

The blizzard level in FotM has a very dark night in the forest part while heading to the final boss.

I always felt that is how ‘night’ should be everywhere in the game. Frankly, I’ve never really cared or noticed much when night changed to day or day to night in GW2. If it weren’t for my weapons changing effects, I’d probably never notice at all. It’s always bright in Tyria.

Yup, that Snowblind Fractal has a totally dark forest. It would be cool if Anet can implement that kind of darkness in more maps.

Whenever the chat is bugged, I cannot whisper anyone in guild using right click, or left clicking on name in chatbox, neither can I invite people to party with right click.

Nocturnal.5023

A tip for newbie, after you done a story mode and happily proceed to explorable mode:

If you host a dungeon(start a dungeon by entering it before others), and dungeon is done, do not leave the party straight away. Wait for people to collect their chests, accept their rewards, then after you make sure everyone is out, you can leave.

Everyone will get kicked out, if you start the dungeon and leave the party. (or switch characters)

For your first character, you should just roll a class you like, take your time to roam around and do stuffs like admiring the surroundings, exploring the zones, listening to npc talk, challenge yourself to the jumping puzzles etc.

Enjoy the process of leveling through exploration of the world, as there is no point in rushing to level 80.

Warrior or Guardian for PVE

in Warrior

Posted by: Nocturnal.5023

Nocturnal.5023

Knights with cleric gear? Yuuuuck.
Full DPS all the way. Warrior damage in PvE is OP considering our health pool and heavy armour, we can mince up the targets before needing to heal/taking any hits.

Dungeons are slightly different and advise you to stay out of AC until you’re level 80 and clad in exotics. I know it’s silly but even some parties of all 80’s have difficulty with this dungeon..

EDIT: Sorry I thought you meant explorable, I have no idea if Story Mode was altered but I don’t believe it was, just take at least one person who has finished it before and you should be okay (I’m about to log on for that matter if you’re interested.)

Just yea… Never put Healing Power or Condition Damage on a Warrior.

Warrior is useless in most guild bountys because the mobs NEVER STAND STILL.

I beg to differ for this guild bounty comment. Because I’m usually the one to survive and revive others during guild bounty event. As a warrior, you have a wide range of weapons at your disposal and you need to use this to your advantage. For guild bounty, or dungeons like fractals, just switch to rifle/bow and you can do great damage at range.

I don't feel that most Elite skills are worth using

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Nocturnal.5023

Nocturnal.5023

There is that one decent one on my Guard…well…kinda.

There is? My guardian wants to know which one. ^^ I use Renewed Focus because I tried the other 2 and they seemed to be overwhelmingly underwhelming. And then that long cooldown starts.

They should make the elite slot capable of holding utility skills. It would be more useful then.

With my guardian, i use Renewed Focus all the time. Using the Guardian of Lyssa Build: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/73978-guardian-of-lyssa-build-unkillable-self-healer-w-great-dps/

Basically runes of lyssa’s 6th bonus is loose all conditions and gain all buffs for 5 secs. So every 90 secs i can become invincible (3s), hit all my virtues as soon as i use RF (gaining an aegis, burning, and healing), along with all buffs and loosing all conditions. It’s instantly saved my kitten many times.

Won’t the 3s of Lyssa’s buffs be wasted ? I thought you can’t do any actions when you used the invulnerable renewed focus.

No warning about ascended rings

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Nocturnal.5023

Nocturnal.5023

Unique is meaningless without a description of what it is supposed to be unique to.

Unique to what? To the game? To the character? To the account?

Unique isn’t the only poor tooltip description you’ll find in GW2. There are plenty of confusing and unclear tooltips in traits, items and abilities.

I actually agree with this. Months back when I first got my ascended rings, I was lucky to have been told of this by some helpful fractals teammates. The term “Unique” by itself doesn’t really tell you that you can equip only one of it.
