Just wondering if we can get the old division rank names, Like Ruby and Sapphire instead of this crappy bronze silver gold plat stuff, it personally reminds me too much of League of Legends . I really did like the gem theme and they all had the lines in them to go along with which ever division it was.
I don’t mind the titles coming with some AP. It’s a one time thing which means next season someone else might have a chance to get it. My problem is why start the pvp season with winter’s day stuff. I want to pvp but I’m also still trying to farm those bloody drinks for the winter’s presence shoulder.
You never fight him, you skip him all the time.
Come on, people are still saying thieves are still good? I’ve mained thief since launch, I love the class, I have so much fun playing it but it’s always been lacking a bit. In pve its work but hey its fun, in pvp it used to be fun moving all over, and fighting a good fight. Now however we just get destroyed, where is our super bursty dps, not there that’s where. I’ve seen some bad thieves, trait for quickness and S/P pistol whip like they’re a warrior doing hundred blades and yay they’re good, now its vault spam and this silly condi dagger crap. That doesn’t work aganist the more apex predator classes now, scrappers will destroy thieves and out stealth them (non stealth class out stealths true stealth class) Revs are revs, tanky, hit hard and have a large health pool plus monstrous sustain. We can’t even really kill the super heal eles now can we, DH’s make one mistake let one thread of your coat even have an idea of touching a trap and boom dead theify, Reapers can litterally jut ignore thieves now, hell I main necro in pvp now and I ignore thieves that try to kill me. They never do, all that dashing and jumping around and they get you to what 50% maybe force you to use your heal while you’re not even acknowledging that they’re a real class. I get that thief is a difficult class, we have pride as theives but kitten its time to realize that we’re not strong enough, why should we have to work three times harder than every other class just to be on par with them? Even friggin gunflame zerkers are wrecking thieves. Our damage could be better, we’re single target attackers why is it that other class’ aoes can hit harder than our bursts?
Problems with thief;
1) low armor and small hp pool with mediocre damage now
2) no 1200 ranged weapon (“but we have gap closers,” really? they can hit us while we’re trying to get in range, and most times once we’re in range we get hit with all their kitten #can’tdodgeitall)
3) no way to stack might, every other class has a might stacking trait and such (pop all the signets, traps or venoms – then what – still dead cuz they just blocked all your stuff and if they didn’t they used one of their heals)
4) other classes do our jobs better (engie stealth rocks, even if you see the gyro they maintain stealth while moving without having to combo field here and there)
5) most important of all for now, we have no flash, yea we look cool doing flips and kitten but hey give us some flashy skills, the twinkle effect on our hands is nice but not really noticable, the revs got our kitten spear 5 skill on land, smokescales stole it first but yea, maybe we can hold our staves differently atleast, we already got the kittenty end of the stick, dip in some glitter atleast
What happens if you get disconnected but reconnect , does it count as a loss as soon as you disconnect or is it at the end of the match so you have a chance to reconnect and rejoin the match? What happens if you disconnect but your team manages to finish with a win will it count as a win for you?
As the title states yes this will be about HOT crashes that happen so often that i’m really not enjoying anything anymore. It’s just ridiculous to do hours long events like DS and crash right before the boss is dead. I have crashed there several times now and now only,on Tarir happens on daily basis and also in SIlverwastes .I am really getting sick of it!
I understand it’s a new expansion and there are issues but this is way too much!
You can’t enjoy anything when you crash every time you try to do a meta event…and there are plenty other with the same issues. Will these crashes ever be fixed???!!! So far the future doesn’t look bright at all!
Do you by chance have the autoloot mastery on? because I know that was causing a few people to crash.
He also never said what type of precursor, so it might just be a ring or backslot one.
I don’t know man, 2 legendaries, asc dagger, 4 lvl 80s still bored.
Honestly if you are new to the game, go ahead, do all the DEs you want! I’ve been playing since launch and I still do DEs. I also do trains and try to farm whatever there is to farm. Go start up an event then use map chat to get people there, usually works. As for asking for more DR, are you insane?! The game now is a total and complete grind fest, not even a good grind fest, its slow, monotonous and most of the time unrewarding. Doing DEs for any kind of gain other than personal satisfaction doesn’t make sense. You get virtually no of reward,1s and some copper + 700 karma, that makes it all worth it right?
I know that they said it was increased in the patch but the footfall effects look the same to me, they’re not bigger, flashier nor last longer. Also as they are already dark in colour its really hard to see them. Could you make them a little brighter and flashier please
What happened to the Immobulus?
It’s basically like any other drop, I don’t see why this is a problem. If you wanted a specific weapon with specific stats then craft it.
I own a bolt and to me nothing has changed.
Bolt isn’t even that noticable. Whatever footfall effects they increased didn’t get increased enough, also Bolt’s effects don’t really show up that well. Incinerator has your arm on fire and does a cool fire whirlwind effect when drawn which is cool.
Well it is one skin but it comes in so many colours.
I feel your pain OP, I use 5 weapons, duo daggers, pistols and a short bow, so 3 months grind just get my weapons up, yay.
For the living world event people realized that failing the event still counted towards your achievements, so they just go in to farm aethers. Yea they’re annoying and really kitten me off while working to complete the event but I can’t really fault them. Mindless zerging is fun sometimes and you alot of loot which means money.
why are you even worried? If they nerf the boxes you’re still gonna get blues and greens.
This always shows up, “Legendary Armor”. I don’t think that Anet will make an entire kit of legendary armor, maybe a back piece but a six piece armor set, no way.
Crits don’t show up in the damage log. So you’re just going to need to look at the actual splat for damage. It’s annoying.
1) 24, male
2)10+years
3)Human, thief,(from the commons, looking for my parents, blessed by grenth, belong to the order of whispers). I chose this because I liked the human race the most, thieves had cool shadow animations, grenth and OoW sounded cool.
4)I enjoy running around and killing things with my girlfriend.
5) He’s tall, has broad shoulders and a beard.
6) Some kind of affection action with female characters like kissing, hugging or carrying them around. Make my thief have a shadow aura and dual wield swords.
So, is this kind of ‘blind’ different than the blind creatures place on you? I’ve been blinded for 10 months, and never lost the ability to see what’s on the screen before this last patch or so.
That also doesn’t explain getting this effect when no creatures or other players are around, though…
That blind is different from the regular blind, I think it also has a different tool tip. The game lighting has changed though. I think its fine with my shaders on low. If you just want to mess around and see exactly how bright the game can get, drink any alcoholic drinks in game until the screen starts swirling then go to a snowy map.
I don’t understand this thread, the best profession for the armor? Couldn’t you just join one of those picture posting threads and make every class look cool in their armor? Can’t really say which class is better than another because it’s all situational.
Don’t we already have our own version of a dps meter, kind of, in chat, it doesn’t really show crits but it shows what you’ve been doing, its not the best but it works. I honestly don’t think the game needs a dps meter or anything that lets you compare how much work everyone has done in PvE. If you put it in PvP I guess they can add something to the death marker.
CoF p1 4zerker wars and mes are a joke, with a good mixed party you clear just as fast as them.
I honestly don’t blame them for what they were doing, crab toss sucks and the amount of points you needed to get the achievement would’ve meant staying in there for an extended period of time, time that you could spend farming. Though them insulting you is bad, you had the option to leave yet you stayed, for two matches and managed to win, so why are you complaining, you just beat them.
Honestly its crab toss, let them get their achievement points. Serious question, has anyone actually played keg brawl?
Hey ComXERO
What’s Wrong with your face [FACE] guild, is based on Yak’s Bend. We’re small friendly and helpful. We have guild boosts up most of the time, we do: Guild Missions, PvE, WvW, run dungeons all the time and do any random world events we feel like doing.
We’d love to have you as a new member. Whisper or mail me in game if you’d like to join.
Why should we stop swearing? There is a filter in your options, if you don’t like cursing then set it to high. People reporting for cursing need to check their settings. Straight forward verbal abuse is another issue though.
If it was easy to get then it wouldn’t be valuable. Mostly the large guilds run all the missions, but smaller ones although they run less they run more frequently.
My girlfriend and I have clocked over 1600 hours each. We farmed the meta events and dungeons for a while hoping to get one to drop, nothing. We wasted hundreds of gold in the mystic forge. After the last 200g I wasted on exotic swords in the forge hoping to get a zap and getting nothing but crap, I bought my zap from tp. We also bought the legend and most of the other materials because the drop rate of T6 mats was terrible. Here is what really kitten ed me off, right after buying the legend an Ex-guild member decided to forge for his, 120g in rare staves and he got his legend. We’ve burnt through more than 5 times that in rares.
Honestly I don’t care about some kitten ed scavenger hunt for a precursor, just fix the drop rate. Arena net with their random stealth nerfs and ways to reduce bots is ruining the game. They nerf the shelk farm by pearl island today, atleast this time they put it in the patch notes.
The crazed event scaling has gotten out of hand lately, they’re coming in at lvl 84 on yak’s, one pass by the champ young karka and most people go down. Once they survive that the other mobs take them down.
Remember the stealth nerf to the Lyssa farm that we called out? Well this time Anet chose to reveal their nerf:
BALANCE, BUG-FIXING, POLISH
General
World: Southsun – Reduced density of reef skelk around Pearl Islet
bye bye shelk farm.
Everyone i hear hoping people will be back in Orr to farm for dust hasn’t realized that Orr has been nerfed to the dust.
P/P is the strongest ranged weapon set you can use. P/D n SB are fine if you want to kite around and all that junk but P/P’s unload will make short work of anything. (there’s a reason why SB n P/D thieves get kicked from CoF p1 farm groups)
Also since you want to switch to melee, go S/P it gives you good gap closing and alot of damage with mob clearance too. The evades and brief stun with pistol whip is pretty forgiving for someone wanting to change. PLus you don’t need to worry about backstabbing or all the leaping about.P/P thieves get kicked out of cof p1 farm groups just as fast if not faster. The short bow actually does more damage than pistols in the situations where you actually MIGHT use a ranged weapon (the first part with the turrets and… uh… that’s it). Not going short bow also means you’re nerfing your team. You no longer have access to the amazing, on demand, high damaging, blast finisher. If you’re meleeing, your team is meleeing, and you see a fire field, blast that ling 3-5 times and you’ll give the entire team 9-15 might stacks for 20s. See a water field? Blast that to heal the entire team for about 1500 a blast. Here’s for a more detailed look. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Blast_finisher
Pro tip, put down smoke screen, shoot it with cluster bomb.
If you’re not meleeing, you’re doing it wrong for things like CoF (and most everything else). D/D also does a ton more damage than s/p vs bosses. The evade also will get you killed more often then it’ll help. You’re rooted in place, not damaging or evading for the first 1/2 of the skill (don’t say target is stunned cause defiance>stun) and even if you don’t get hit, auto attacking does just as much damage as pistol whip but you can move while attacking. It is pretty forgiving if you’re not going to be dodging anyways but to someone who can successfully avoid attacks, daggers are the safer bet and yield significantly higher reward.
P/P does way more damage than SB vs single targets, zerk build with unload and you easily cross 15k damage. SB comboing is fine, but suppose the OP is soloing in PvE P/P offers more damage compared to P/D. Also remember that the OP wants range and maybe away to transition into melee, infiltrator strike can get him in range, root the target, let him try putting some damage in and then getting out if it gets rough. Can’t really give him D/D and tell him go dodge with death blossom and survive. Its fun and effective, yes but not what I’d make someone do right off the bat.
spec into critical strikes and what ever gives u sb damage, with critical strikes u get crit rate and damage along with 10% pistol damage increase and ankle shots which have a 60% chance to cripple on crit. If you’re going for a ranged thief that should work to keep things at bay. P/P is the strongest ranged weapon set you can use. P/D n SB are fine if you want to kite around and all that junk but P/P’s unload will make short work of anything. (there’s a reason why SB n P/D thieves get kicked from CoF p1 farm groups)
Also since you want to switch to melee, go S/P it gives you good gap closing and alot of damage with mob clearance too. The evades and brief stun with pistol whip is pretty forgiving for someone wanting to change. PLus you don’t need to worry about backstabbing or all the leaping about.
Thief hide in shadows heal doesn’t cleanse the burn either.
TP prices depend on farm area, right now drops that come from the SSC event are lowering the prices of several items including precursors. As long as there is a viable farm spot TP prices will fall.
As for the MF and getting a precursor, sure if you want to go gamble for it, good luck. I rather save my gold, but saving for a precursor sucks as you constantly feel like you’re getting no where fast. Personally I saved for my zap after i blew close to 100 exotic swords trying to forge for it, close to 1000 rare daggers going for a spark and about 200 rare great swords going for dusk or dawn.
Back on topic now, precursor prices will drop as long as there are drops from a good farm spot or a major event like the Ancient Karka which kitten ed off the entire server.
Arena net needs to find a way to allow players to make significant amounts of money (other than cof p1) and materials.
Might as well take ankle shots to keep enemies crippled and interrupt them when they go to cast something big.
I’m Explorer and Power Monger, 1500+ hours logged on my thief, Legendary completed, Exotic everything with runes and ascended infused accessories. Only 1 other level 80 character and is fully geared, I also have enough tokens and random exotic junk sitting around to gear my 4 remaining alts. All crafts maxed, personal story completed on main. Only thing i need now is more craft materials and gold.
Arena net nerfs farm spots because they want you to do events around the map. Cursed Shore was all about completing events for farm, that got nerfed. Lyssa is a good farm and its a farm you don’t need to worry about because once the mobkitten 82, people have already akitten and the loot just sits there culling the mob then everyone dies.
At Lyssa if you show up and start breaking the walls without saying anything then you are obviously going to hear mean things. Just because one person decides they want to purify a temple doesn’t mean we all have too. Get your guild to help or guest to a server that has the temple open most of the time, like Jade’s Quarry.
Cof P1 farm isn’t an exploit, the entire path is run, the mob that is skipped is an optional mission and if you didn’t already notice they took away the ranged safe wall by the acolytes.
Game economy right now is crap, it was a lot better with bots.
Arena net, at level 80 we don’t want to do a boss open the chest and see greens and blues. The fact that someone can put in 99% of the work to kill something and still get worse loot than the person who only does 1% sucks.
Psh, farming sucks, it screws up the game economy and ruins diversity.
Because of Malchor’s Leap and CoF, everything else feels like a waste of time.I’m 100% behind Arena’net on this. Nerf the kittens out of everything! I don’t want no mindless farmers in my game.
So if we don’t farm a bit, what do you propose we do? Because the Lyssa farm dropped blood by 8s and scales by 6s making it easier for casuals to buy them, how is that bad?
Throw gunk, is an ethereal combo field, so leap and blast finishers will give you chaos armor.
Precursors do drop in PvE, been around where people got dusks in cursed shore, the legend in Arah and the Hunter from SSC.
Last I heard was that Anet has no intention of putting in a scavenger hunt anytime soon. Just do what everyone else does, save till you either make enough gold to buy the precursor or throw stuff mindlessly into the forge and hope.
Actually the OP is correct, farmed at lyssa this morning got the regular amount of loot, this evening after the patch 10 waves no drops, 11th wave 2 porous bones.
Yea looks like its server wide. Good Job Anet. Please fix it.
Farming depends on where you go and what you’re looking for, if you go to cursed shore then you’re definitely not going to have a good a good time. Getting to 80 and gearing is easy, what you are geared in is another question, random level 80 exotic weapon or a fancy skinned exotic weapon?
The drop rate is crap and if you go out hoping to get something good as a dro kitten etting yourself up for disappointment. As for Magic find, it usually doesn’t make a difference but it did seem to work in the Molten dungeon for 2 runs.
If you really want to farm, use long chained events like the temple purification events in Orr or just farm dungeons, those mobs have better loot tables than randoms. DR wont affect you as those events constantly move you around and reset if they fail. If that doesn’t appeal to you then go join a zerg in WvW every loot bag dropped by a player has a chance of an exotic.
Temple chains are really fun. Balth in particular takes a lot of cooperation.
As far as GW2 goes its still new, almost a year old. Yes we want more challenging content and it will come in time. Most of the dungeons have unfinished content in them so maybe they will extend them.
What I do dislike about GW2 is how unrewarding it can be most of the time. No matter how well you play, how fast you are, how hard you hit or how much you kill it all comes down to that RNG.
If i could get a 6 person party and have the RNG being a little more forgiving I’d be happy.
Dagger Storm’s tool tip is misleading it does not reflect projectiles.
all they need to do is increase the drops by just a little and everything will even out
