Guild Wars 2

When the ley-line reaches your point, the ley lines no longer register/update the bar. Meaning if the inquest capture ley lines, you cannot revert it. This basically means you are on a strict time limit to win the event before they overwhelm you.

Bugged? Please fix.

Hey, I’m looking for a guild or group who can help me get the No-Fly zone and Smash the Dragon achievements. Thanks in advance

Shooting Gallery. Scrap Rifle Field test. Haywire Punch-o-Matic. Fallen masks.

What do these adventures have in common?
They are all too unproportionally difficult and/or time consuming to get a gold medal on.
Compared to most other adventures, these adventures I mentioned before are either too reliant on RNG, simply too strict in difficulty or are just no fun to play at all. I will go through each mentioned adventure, with suggestions on how to improve them

Shooting Gallery
To get gold on this adventure, you need to shoot 40 targets within the time limit.
The issue here is that the first 20 targets spawn according to a pattern, while the second 20 targets are pseudo-random. This means that in a lot of attempts, you will have to run across the field to one target, then run back for the next, meaning you can spend over 10 seconds just for two targets, while in the next run you can get lucky and clear 4 targets in less than 10 seconds.

Suggestions:
-Improve the max time by 10 seconds. If you actually look at the scoreboard, a lot of people are in the 36-39 range and this would make it a bit easier to get to the required 40 targets.
-Make no targets RNG. Make every target spawn according to a predetermined pattern. It might make it less fun, but definitely more manageable.

Scrap Rifle Field Test
The biggest issue on this adventure is, in my opinion, that there are not enough chak. I like the idea of managing the heat level of the rifle, which also means that sometimes you cannot damage enough chak as you would like. However, the timer is too strict and the amount of chak are too few to make any gold attempt reasonable and/or fun to acquire.

Suggestions:
-Increase the amount of Chak. Simple yet effective.
-Increase the timer, meaning you have more time to kill Chak, basically the same principle as the first suggestion except this solution will only make it more time-consuming.

Haywire Punch-o-Matic
Actually the only adventure that nobody has acquired gold on. It’s not hard to see that this adventure is fundamentally flawed, and it either needs a complete rework, or such significant nerfs that it won’t even be fun anymore. For those reasons, I will not give any suggestions, however I hope Arenanet takes this critique very seriously as it has been ‘broken’ like this since HoT release.

Fallen Masks
This is actually a fun adventure, however way too RNG reliant. You can practice this adventure by being fast, learning mushroom patterns and in general just play it a lot. However, every run is completely random, and in many runs it will be actually impossible to achieve gold.

Suggestions:
-Increase the timer allowed and/or lower the requirement of masks for a gold medal.
Simple, basic nerf that would make this adventure more managable.
-Remove the RNG aspect of it, make every mask spawn in a set pattern. Same logic as Shooting Gallery, it might make it less fun to play but definitely less frustrating as well.
-Spawn multiple masks at the same time. I think this would be a legit nerf because it would keep the core of the adventure the same, while improving the tactical decision making requirement, which rewards better, smarter players.

Thank you for reading and I’m sorry for any spelling mistakes I have made, English is not my native language.

Just a short list of all current achievement related bugs (for the ap hunters like me)

Chak killer – Master
Not sure what the issue is – dying during the attempt, or the chak going into the walls. Either way I have tried it 4 times now (once without dying at all) and haven’t earned it once. I’m a thief, so maybe stealth plays a role.

Untethered
Not sure what the cause is here, but I’m 100% sure i’ve dodged all the attacks completely, I did not have any summons (thieves guild or anything), completed the instance and no achievement.

Bark Breaker
Currently impossible because of the lack of a mordrem husk with a defiance bar.

WvW – Master of Ruins & Veteran slayer
Both impossible since these aspects have been removed from WvW.

Let me know if I missed other important ones.

Cant find it.. any hints?

Anyone know where to look? I found the 3 pages, I went underwater and went north, climbed over some walls and got in the final room (with the big laser), got stuck there since u cant go back but the secret lab wasnt in that room… where the F is it??? Underground lab my a#$..

I love Staff in PvE, but skill #2 and #3 have so much mobility, its hard to use them efficiently in combat.. wish the movement was a bit reduced on those skills.

Im looking for a burst PvE build, pref greatsword and axe/axe or axe/mace

What are some good skill and gear builds? Cant find anything on metabattle

As the title said my name is Nyter Eclipse, I’m looking for a guild that runs guild missions, pref 2 times a week latenight and/or weekend.

I’ve been playing since beta, 18k ap, know how to play etc etc.

IGN: Nyter.1270

Thanks in advance

Playing d/d + SB

Every class has so much block, reflect, 10+ instant burning stacks…
Cant seem to kill any class anymore, either i get bursted harder (im 90% zerk) or i just get worn down by conditions

If i spec into acrobatics or take traits like dispell condi in stealth, regen more etc etc i do less dmg, which just makes the problems worse.

How do i deal with guardians/mesmers/eles in WvW…???

Another screen:

The last Dragon head that spews fire cannot be ‘iced up’, no matter the positioning etc, when i reflect it keeps spewing fire, blocking progress. Please fix

So, I have almost 900 skillpoints now, every skill unlocked, 1 legendary and 1 ascended weapon, if I dont want to use them for flipping (which I find boring and it’s sometimes risky too), there’s literally no use for them… How about a new item, where u trade ~5 sp for a small bag of random stuff like Luck, random crafting mats, random tonics etc?

Hey everyone, I’m a big fan of Swords on thieves, and I hope we get them in the upcoming expansion (maybe as part of the specialization).

Anyway I thought of some skills that could be used, and would love some feedback

Sword / Sword:

Skill #3 (Dual skill)
Name: Execute
Costs 6 Initiative, 1/2 second cast time.
Slash with both of your swords in front of you, simultaneously. Deals weapon damage + (0.45 x Power) on each hit. Deals 20% more damage against crippled or immobilzed targets.

Comment: A burst skill, very good after a follow up of infiltrators strike (#2 skill).
When you are using 2 ascended swords (950 – 1050 damage) and have ~2200 power, you should do on average 1000 + 990 × 2, with a 20% bonus when the condition is met.
This should do around 2400 × 2 = 4800 burst damage.
There’s a small cast time, where you are raising both of your swords to allow counterplay by dodging, blocking, interrupting etc.

Skill #4
Name: Whirling Strike
Costs 5 initiative, instant cast time, 1 second duration.
Spin both your weapons around you, attacking twice with each weapon, dealing weapon damage and inflicts bleeding on each succesful hit. Reflects projectiles for the duration.

Comment: A bit like caithe’s skill if you remember that. Melee range, short duration whirlwind thats good against a small group of (ranged) targets. Note that you do not get stability, so it’s possible to get interrupted during the spin. If you get a full duration and all attacks off, you will hit the enemy with your weapons 4 times total and inflict 4 stacks of bleeding.

Skill #5
Name: Shadow Assault
Costs 7 initiatve, 1/4 cast time, 2 second duration.
Fade into the mists, and strike your targeted opponent repeatedly from the shadows.
Jumps to the target, and follows the target unless the target moves more than 1000 units in 0.25 seconds.
Attack your opponent 4 times with your main hand weapon, and a shadowy clone will attack 4 times with your offhand weapon, dealing 50% of the damage.
After the duration, you return to your starting position.
Unblockable.

Comment: A duel skill, excelling in 1v1 situations where your opponent, PvE or PvP, is playing hard to catch. You transform into a mist form and surround the opponent, following him. All the attacks are guaranteed to hit, unless the opponent has a timely dodge or uses a blink/invisibilty skill. At 7 initiative this skill is quite costly tho.
The 1/4 second cast time is intentional, to catch fleeing opponents quickly.
Both mainhand and offhand attacks will make use of sigils, runes, traits etc.
If you use a pistol in your main hand, you will inflict the pistol autoattacks four times, a.k.a. you inflict 4 stacks of bleeding during the 2 second duration.

Let me know what you think!

Same problem for me, pls fix

Dina Van Heyr.3018:

tell me one thing that is in GW 2 balanced and i tell you why is ranger in underwater combat balanced.. you got greedy on easy ranger kill you got asskicked it your fault not knowing class capabilities not ranger pet downed state healing ..

So as long as the ranger stays underwater he cant die right? I just have to "be smart’’ and run even tho i won easily on land, makes perfect sense. How about making them viable on land and making them on par with other classes underwater? Not that i’d expect anything from an american company

If you can give me 1 good argument how this is balanced in a 1v1 setting (ranger vs X class) underwater, i will buy a precursor of your choise for you. Either but a BIG nerf on the healing, or allow finishing underwater because this is just insanely broken.

They should add blindfolds for medium armor, it would look really awesome on thieves.

Just saying

Please don’t listen to these PvE achievement casuals, the numbers are fine (u got 2 freaking months, if you play 1 hour a day then the achievements are not for you). Fix demolotion expert to give credit if u attack gates and its fine

i run 0/30/0/20/20 and it works pretty well with s/d

I know these forums are not meant for trading, but I want to trade precursors without losing gold on the tp..

Thanks, did that but didnt help. Also i got my first blue screen of death, memory leak related, since years.

cuz far shiverpeaks is, once again, pathetic.

So my pc had some struggles today, but we managed to fix it. Anyway it involved reinstalling gw2, and now I keep crashing whenever i WP to a new location (new as in, one i havent been before prior to the crashing)… i send logs everytime, what else can i do? I Also did the -repair in the target field thing, but to no avail

that might be it. I’ll also stay away from it for now, gonna get progression in tribulation mode, because then when u get scr*wed over atleast its intentional

http://dulfy.net/2013/09/07/gw2-bachelor-of-baubles-world-2-achievement-guide/
Name something super secret that i might have missed and i can recall if i got it or not, my memory’s fresh cuz i just did it

Bachelor of baubles is bugged. I did dulfy’s guide also, bachelor of secrets and become the maser were no problem, i made 200% sure i got all the 42 baubles, but no achievement at the end. Thanks a kittenING lot for wasting my time arenanet, this is not the first time u frustrate me

Yep, also missed this one. Kinda lame to have such a short period of time to obtain it, hopefully they add it on the 4th on july (without a reward, just the achievement) for people who missed it.

You’re totally right sorry, i meant ascended infused items*, i’m just wondering if the lauresl are worth it if colin’s just gonna make MF “useless” next patch

Hello

I recently bought a Magical infusion, which gives +20% magic find to an utility infusion slot for 20 laurels. However, I do not have an exotic item with that utility slot yet, so I need another 30 laurels (and I already have 6 exotics so i’d have to sell one…).
But my question is, is this worth it? Will Colin nerf MF so hard, or will we receive compensation? And how about my exotics? Keep, or sell? Most of them are also infused..

Currently, the /block function does not function to it’s full potential.
Right now, blocking someone will only block his whispers (maybe also his mails, not sure). But they can still spam you in /map or in /guild.
My server and guild have a lot of spammers, childish people etc, so beside reporting them, I can’t do much beside leaving the area (or even changing my guild representation!)

As for reports, there is no limit to the amount of reports you can send, but I’d figure Arenanet doesn’t like you sending 30 reports for the same offence per person, so Instead make the report limit to 1 per person, but make sure to actually look into every report. And, as always, false reports should be punished aswell.

Thanks for reading

Yep, going to chantry of secrets fixed it for me, thanks

Yep, i’m on the same boat. Looks like it bugged out for now, but don’t worry, once it’s fixed you will get your rewards and the star.
