Guild Wars 2

Hello,
So i’ve played guild wars 2 for 3 years, on and off, and recently i came back, and now after reinstalling windows, i need to download the game again, but i can’t.
The download speed is so bad, it goes first up to 5Mb/s and then after a minute drops to 0 k/b and stops right there.
tried resetting modem and such, but i just figured, on steam, i’ve already installed 3 games and all 3 downloaded very well, also utorrent downloads well, so it has to be something with the lunacher/download servers.
I’ll appericiate any help, thanks!

Hey guys, its been 10 days and my brother needs your help with recovering his account.
Its been a while and he can’t remember, he would really love to play together like old good times.
Please help us guys. his ticket number is :1343208.
Thanks!

Hello guys.
Is there any way of changing from Dynamic tempered spinal blades to static version?

If you guy gold from somewhere other then Anet, you risk getting banned. Gold sellers and buying from them are against the ToA. Sometimes paypal doesn’t work. No idea why. Anet has been trying to fix it. Don’t save your credit card to your account, and there isn’t any risk with paying with it. It’s just as secure as paypal.

Like i said, im not realy interested in other sites, i prefer paying to Anet so they can keep hosting servers, anyways, problem fixed, thanks for the reply

Hello, i tried couple of times to buy gems using paypal, but it takes me to an error page after i press pay.
i know there are sites that sell gold, but honestly i prefer to pay to Anet instead of some sites.. thats why im posting the post here, anybody knows why this can happen?
Also, what are the risks of paying with credit card without paypal?

Thanks for the replies.
I think the whole system is so wrong.
Precurser should be the easier part, beacause think about it, the gifts should be the hard part, all the exploration, the grind, stuff you can’t buy.

Thanks for the replies, thing is, im in the army, i can’t realy farm every day.
i just want to come back home for the weekend and have fun playing.
so unmotivating all that precurser situation.

heres mine

Hello fellas.
Well, i managed to grind and farm for very long time and get all the gifts i need.
I have gift of fortune, gift of mastery, and gift of twilight.
But i couldn’t get Dusk, after long period of trying to farm gold and trying luck with mf beacause prices were just going up, i gave up and left the game.
I now honestly realy miss the game, and cmo’n can’t be true i worked my butt off for the gifts and just leave like that.
Can someone please help me, how can i manage to get Dusk?
Thanks ahead!

for the above, i like the armor, but the coloring is a bit bland, therefore 7/10.

Heres mine, took a while to setup the armor, almost every piece is a different armor.

Can’t agree more, precursors should be craftable.
Anyway getting the gifts is long long grind and hard work, most of the people will never craft legendary anyway beacause of the gifts, and so i dont see why precursors cant be crafted.

Nick.6972:

The funny thing is they already claimed to be working on precursor hunt back in 2013 January.

Honestly, how hard could it possibly be to add a precursor in Laurel vendor, 1 precursor 100 Laurels.

I think precursor shouldnt be sold for laurels but should be crafted with 500 in weapon crafting proffesion, that will require grinding too like the other gifts but cmon 1000g in TP? thats just wayyy out of hands.

Thank you guys, saved me from spending 12 commendations for nothing ^^

Anet please make precursor something that we can craft.
Anyway making a legendary is very hard and time consuming prior to the precursor.
we need full world completion, lots of karma grinding, a lot of gold for the gifts and t6 mats, so please make it craftable.

Hello guys, im wondering if i can equip the same accessory twice, (have 2 of the same type exactly equiped in the same time) same for rings?
As example, ascended Althea’s Ashes accessory.

Zenyatoo.4059:

AC 1-3 (People hate on P2. its still worth doing.)
CoF 1,2 (people hate on P3. This is justified)
HoTW 1 (P2 and P3 are doable, but boring and aggravating)
SE 1,3 (P2 should never be done ever)
CoE 1-3 (All 3 paths are fine.)
CM 1-3 (People hate on P2. They’re bad. it’s probably the shortest path if you’re half decent)
TA Up/Forward (Aetherblade is just awful)
Arah – Personal choice. I’d never PuG this, but P1,2 and 3 can all be done with respectable speeds with a good group.

AC gives the most money for path completions (besides arah)
CoE gives the best lodestone/core loot (charged)
CoF, CoE and HoTW give the best money per token if you’re converting them.
All the other dungeons listed are just easy enough to do, and the moneys still pretty good.

Thanks for the info

Hello guys, im wondering which dungeons should i do every day that are fast, easy and rewarding? i know cof p1+p2 and ac p1+p3 are fast easy and rewarding so far, but which others are too?
thanks ^^

Yeah but you can just be in vigil keep and check if its open from there, and its always closed, i am sure there is no megaserver on straits of devastation so theres no point in going there realy :/

Hello guys.
Before the 15th patch i always used gw2state to check for example where and when temple of balthazar is open to buy obsidian shards.
But right now none of the websites works anymore, and i dont see temple of balthazar on events list.

Hello, well i have a problem with colors related to my ascended armor, its almost hitting the sweet spot, but then, there are those great looking things, kind of circles, at the chest and right shoulder:
http://i58.tinypic.com/35i5ffp.jpg
Chest:
http://i59.tinypic.com/96vn2c.jpg
Can those be a seperate coloring box? it will add a lot of detail ability and coloring ability.

CptAurellian.9537:

Read the stuff about the 10 % again. Or learn maths.

how can this be then that i have a friend also, hes a thief, he always hit 8k and now only 5k

Weve been told that the nerf would be a 10%.
But for example, if we look at the traits, the trait that gave crit dmg, if we filled it to max we would get 30% crit dmg, now we get 300 ferocity, which as i checked gives only 20% crit dmg, 34% nerf.
If we look at equipment, for example the Crystalline band ring,
We would get 8% crit dmg, as of now we get 68 ferocity which equals to 4.5% crit dmg only, thats over 40% nerf.
so how much did they realy nerf the crit dmg?

Gandara many good many bad ^^

Ye i heard it was easy when it started, but as of now we are against stronger enemies compared to the very beggining of the season.

Hello guys.
Well i have a very few things left to finish map and get my gifts of exploration.
the problem is, i need 1 vista in the blue borderlands, which is inside their garrison, and my server (Gandara) are always green and always versus big servers atleast during this spring tournament, FSP for instance.
And the other stuff i need are in Eternal Battlegrounds, problem is again that the 6 pois and 4 vistas are right inside the both enemies very close to spawn bases.

Any advice?

Hello.
Well after the 15th patch, everybody copies their legendaries into cheap weapons on different characters, you can see low level running with eternity/any other legendary and its just bad, heres why:
Gives bad impression of the game for new players who just bought it, imagine leveling and seeing someone same level as you with a legendary, will unmotivate you and give cheap impression.
Legendary are suppose to be legendaries without cheap copies, since the patch they overflooded the game and not so special anymore.
In my opinion the wardrobe is an awesome idea but it should stay out of legendaries.
Yes legendaries being account bound is a great idea, but copying? eh

Whats your opinion guys?

I wouldn’t mind guardians getting some buff to their healthpool size. I think if they were in the 15k healthpool tier they would have a few more builds opened up to them that would allow for better build diversity (that applies to any class though really). Guards can do just fine at their current healthpool though, so buffing their healthpool could end up making them too strong and subsequently make them nerf worthy. It would be interesting to see how buffing their healthpool would work out.

Saying that guards got good survivability is a lie, yeah sure… if you spend all your traits on tough and vit maybe a nice survivablity, but what if we want abit different build,
Guardians long range weapons are bad, the mobility isnt there, warriors got more cc removal, Warrior is better than guardian almost in every aspect, when you look at guards downsides you realise that its the class with the most downsides.
The real OP unkillable is Warrior with regen build, got nice dmg, with regen of over 1k hp every 3 sec, and can have 30k hp+, while guard will be with same tough, much less healing over time, and yeah dmg kind of same with 20k hp only.
Yeah well mesmers and ele obviously got low health pool, they are long ranged, but guard is close range and you have to chase down enemies, ele will just run away spamming condi dmg on the way and you got nothing much to do with such low healthpool.

You’re sounding oddly bent out of shape about me saying guardians have good survivability. I’m not wrong. They do. You have access to a lot of healing, blocking, vigor for dodge rolling, invulnerability, aegis, and boons. There’s a reason guardian and warrior don’t have exactly the same strengths: diversity.

Also, not sure why you are grouping mesmers and eles into the same “low hp” healthpool bracket. Lowest Tier = Ele, Guard, Thief / Middle Tier = Engineer, Mesmer, Ranger / Highest Tier = Necro, Warrior.

You can’t expect every class to have the same access to mobility and range (which seems to be your biggest concern, despite the title of this thread). Even if guards had a larger healthpool, it wouldn’t make much of a difference if you’re dying due to being kited.

I accidently typed mesmer instead of thief beacause i was think of the mobility while typing about the health pool.
anyway, maybe this is all feeling like this beacause warrior is just way too OP in all matters.

Jerus.4350:

Ohh I understand the issue. It’s frustrating but at the same times REALLY fun, in that you gotta play to a higher level. Maybe It’s just because I’m a masochist when it comes to content, but that’s something I enjoy when I go zerk guard. I’m squishy so I gotta be perfect.

And a support guard isn’t bad in any way, it’s just not the meta and lots of people blindly follow the meta without looking at aspects that the meta ignores. The meta is Speed focused, and it ignores most everything else. It’s not about getting through dungeons easily, it’s about getting through them fast. My group runs a support guard, assuming everyone in the group is roughly the same damage, we end up losing 15% damage as a group, that’s a decent amount, but what we gain is the support that allows everyone to make a couple mistakes and still be ok, rather than one or two little screw ups ending in death.

So we trade some speed for less stress, it’s a worthwhile tradeoff to us =).

And just a FYI Thief and Ele is the same base HP, less defense though. All 3 are what I consider high risk, high reward. Guard has your utility that can make/break a fight (reflect walls, aegis, stability, etc) Thief has stealth, which that alone can cut a crazy amount of time off runs. And ele… FGS, Ice Bow, might stacking all on top of good personal damage. We all bring much more than just our damage.

Yeah well if you do a dungeon 10 times, you can easily make it perfect always later on when you learn boss mechanics.
I rather spend 10 mins doing a dungeon then 20 mins, beacause in same time i would of made 2 dungeons already.
But then, full zerker is a joke anywhere outside of pve.
About thief and ele, they have a reason to have low health pool, which is for thief the stealth that allows them to survive/regen, and the ele got can how some nice ranged attacks and mobility not bad.

Uhtameit.2413:

If you want moar health, ArenaNet has introduced a fantastic new GM trait : +3k hp, yay. Otherwise http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_Barbarian%27s_Amulet.

Guardians are actually pretty good.

ProRulez, if you think elementalist are ranged, you should play one :

-main dagger ele (d/d or d/f) is not ranged at all
-scepter ele needs to come close range to burst, otherwise it doesn’t deal that much damage
-staff ele is ranged but gets eaten by anything with teleports or ranged attacks

Oh actually nevermind, I just read the end of your message “ele will just run away spamming condi damage on the way”…condi eles, yay xDD

That alone conveys that you are quite clueless because condition elementalist is not a thing ^^

Yeah i didnt play ele personaly, my brother did, ofc i was over saying it just to make the point, but my brother had the ele setup you said, that is not ranged, you have lots of mobility. so will be no prob to run away.
Is there any WvW PVE version of this amulet/ power-pre-vit stats?

Honestly, everybody thinks that guards are balanced compared to other profession, but hell no, think about it:
10,800 base health, while warrior got 19k if im right (maybe 20k not sure).
lower mobility than warrior (lowest mobility in the game except mesmer but mesmer is ranged anyway..).
warriors got more condi/cc removal.
people say guards got nice survivability.. yeah only if you put all your traits into vit and tough.
If youre playing guardian, get used to the fact that you will never ever chase down any other class, if mesmer runs away, you might be able to, but you will run kind of same speed, and untill you get him with greatsword 3, you will find yourself at huge enemy zerk already.
Wish i could change class right now and keep gear beacause guards lack almost everything, yeah we got some support, but it doesnt cover the downsides.

the funny part, its the only class i enjoy playing.
try it out maybe you still like it.

Silv.9207:

The Guardian isn’t the real “Bunker” of the game. Warrior is the Berserker fighter and the Bunker tank at the same time. You can play a Warrior and obtain more or less the same healt regeneration of the Guardian, but obtain more self stability and Immunity skills.
Warrior > Guardian.

BUT

When you play a Guardian you must think that: You’re not playing a Bunker, you’re playing a Cleric. Yes, a F***ing Cleric class. Guardian is a defensive class that use magic skills to heal itself and support allies. Isn’t that a Cleric?
If you think about that, you can find the point: You’re not the main bunker, but you can play as the better tank of the game. But not whit your defence. You must play whit your Health Regeneration skills to survive and protect your allies!
If you make your build thinking that, you find that there’s many traits and skills that can grant you some kind of healing ability or health regeneration. And you have Aegis!
You can obtain Healt by: Virtue, Regeneration, AH/Meditations, Symbols+Rune of Dolyak.
The only problem is that the Warrior can do almost the same whit Healing Signet+trait adrenaline heal+ banner regen+ rune of dolyak.

But don’t think about that… no one want a Bunker Warrior in group, because they think that the Guardian is better.
Shhhhhh!!! ;-)

That’s the sad truth of the Guardian class.
And that’s because we can never be a dps or a condition damage class and the only build aviable for the Guardian is the Supporter (or Tank, if specialized in self heal ability).

The big problem is that healing power is proven to be one of the worse stats out there, and almost anything except condi stats will be better than cleric.
if you go full cleric you will have very low health pool still, even with heals, you have cooldowns, eventualy you will die pretty quick compared to any warrior.

Im so anoyyed when fighting and the opposite enemy just managed to easily run away.

Also when speaking of support, meh every class got it’s skills to survive for himself, ye support guard will help here and there, but still, wish we had more options, maybe more mobility, not like warrior but atleast close.

Jerus.4350:

Don’t forget our active defense though. All those blinds/aegis/protection/whatever effects are quite nice, and a lot are for the entire group!

We’re a strange thing, i’ll agree. A highly defensive profession with low health and low mobility. It’s like a riddle, it seems silly, but it’s not. We do have decent mobility in GS leap and the Sword/JI teleports. It’s no where near a warrior, but we’re not warriors are we? I of course would love to see more mobility, like if hammer2 leaped as far as GS3… ohh baby i’d be happy. But again, we are what we are, and warriors are what they are.

My question would be though, why did you choose a guardian if you’re worried more about the stuff that creates a solo kitten?

Maybe It’s just me, but I think of what 6k extra hp would give me in full soldier gear setups and I’m just thinking “god, I don’t think there’s anything in the game that could kill me with that”.

I look at warriors and my thought is simply “they’re too strait forward”. They may be powerful, but god I don’t have any fun playing one =/

Well i tried to play warrior, i quit at lvl 6 and deleted it, i love playing guardian.
But cmon man, what is this… 10,800hp? whaaaaaattttttttt
this is just way too low, even 15k hp is low for melee with low mobility, but i would be fine with 15k base health.
What about being good guard for dungs? that means you need full berserker, but then you die too fast beacause of health pool, if you go supportive youre not wanted, in pve its all about dmg and not dying.

Imo the health pool is wayyyyy too low.
Warrior – same armor, more mobility and more health?
when looking at the base health without adding vit armor, guardians have 11k health, and warriors about 20k.
With such a low mobility that guards got, what makes up for the low health pool?
I think its just unbalanced, and guards need atleast 15k base health, otherwise its just a joke for a meele without much mobility to have such a low healthpool.
just my opinion, what do you guys think?

I noticed at COF p1 last boss, cant switch from staff to greatsword at all untill boss dies.
and TA forward last boss same thing.
Playing as a guardian.
Seems like more people also have this problem, someone else told me it happens all the time.

Crapgame.6519:

99% of the people on this forum will tell you the class is fine and learn to play.

My main is a 80 guardian. This is nothing new on the network news but let us play anyway. Level 80 guardian, full armor and exotic weapons. Ascended accessories. Enter WvW and check your health pool. What do you see, 13k and some change? Now go and kill some guards provided you have 250 or so realm rank to boost that bad boy up a bit getting it closer to 15k…

Now find your first empty character slow. Roll say a Thief. Do the starter quest for whatever race you play and port out to WvW. Now you have missing armor or white scraps on and whatever weapon you could find. Only one weapon more than likely. Now check out that health pool and we’ll talk.

You basically took a level one ambient character with nothing on but his or her birthday suit and it has more HP than your level 80 exotic armor and weapons ascended accessory wearing avatar.

Sad but true.

Im talking about base health, i have myself 16k hp with some soldier.
Base health, not how much with full sentinel.
That doesnt change the fact the a class with much more mobility and same gear, got atleast 8k-9k more health.

Hello.
Well i realy dont understand this, maybe someone can clear this out for me?
Guardian is a meele class, with much less mobility than warrior, (almost no mobility).
Lowest health pool in the game? how can a meele class that got such a low mobility have such a low health pool while having same toughness as warrior?
i just dont know what makes up for that low health pool.
If we had atleast 15k base health it would be bad yeah, but not that bad, but 11k..
the staff speed buff lasts too short unless you stack it up which means you have to stand at the same place.

Honestly i wouldnt be disappointed with the class at all, if we had more health and more mobility, its realy sad to always see your team getting ahead and youre behind so slow :/

Thanks for replying, im not trying to be rude, i just realy dont know what to say.

lol lets not talk about the fact that when even 30+ people in an event, veterans are way harder to kill than champions.

But what you have there is Lyssa, several champions AND several Veterans, so it is a fight that needs more coordination and less mindless zerg attitude.

Im not stupid, not mindlessly zerking all i see.
Attacking just Lyssa, evading attacks, turning when blinding like most of the people.
That being said, Lyssa scales just too much, and many people think and feel the same.

You need to also look out behind and around Lyssa too. As I said, Champs and Veterans spawn around here and they can to a lot of damage to you very quickly.

I don’t feel it is any worse than Grenth or any of the others.

I always look around for the Gorillas, i almost never ever die due to my carefullness, and its common sense mate.
But its still a fact, Lyssa is just evading, and all meele people do is chasing her around, so frustrating that it takes that long when many people around, it just scales too much.

Hello.
Well it seems like when killing Risen Pristess of Lyssa it takes about 5-10 minutes only with a small group of 5 people.
But this almost never happens, usualy its 30-50 people zerk, and the event scales so much it takes 20-30 minutes just to kill the Risen Priestess + side events take like 10 minutes longer.
Everybody i ask says they dont have any problem with an temple.. but Lyssa.
It just takes too long, Maybe her healthpool is same as Statue of Dwayna for example, but dont forget she teleports and blocks all the time, so we hit only 25% of the time.
Thanks for reading.

I dispute the stinky warriors thing!

My female warrior got the new set of runes, one each of ‘Rune of Athlete’s Foot Resistance’, ‘Rune of Brazilian Wax’, ‘Rune of Minty Mouthwash’, ‘Rune of Moisturing Cream’, ‘Rune of Manicure’ and ‘Rune of Smiting Any Man Who Leaves The Toilet Seat Up’.

Highly recommended!

Thats the same for us, the men, we are anoyyed when the toilet seat is down all the time

Doesnt work, the knight targeted me all the time but got no loot.

Oh cmon srsly… Just did another full dungeon and we kill the hologram…. AGAIN
No power cores… only crap loot isnt even worth doing this…
It feels atm as if we need to get only 1 power core to upgrade the back piece beacause its as rare as getting 10 gold from lvl 1 mob.. which is impossible same as getting even a single power core… been farming for 15 hours, not even sure if it was worth buying the game when 2 days ago people could easily get 10 of those and now 1 in 2 weeks probably…

Hey, it wouldn’t be GW2 if it had no insane grind for something new.

Im not saying grind is bad, even if we spend 20 hours to get 10 power cores, its still insane grind considering the time it takes to make the other ingredients and the tempted spinal blades. But as of right now im so disappointed and its just -impossible-
to get anything after they nerfed it.

Why those knights dont drop any power cores tho?

iStoked.4018:

Seriously! I’m still picking my jaw up off the floor.

This has got to be the best LW update yet.. and I’m not just saying that because we all finally got to shut Scarlet up for good! The entire boss fight was perfect!! And the cutscene with Marjory and Kasmeer was beautiful (a couple tears rolled when they finally embraced each other, I’ll admit!) XD

I know not everyone will be as satisfied as I am with this conclusion, but I just wanted to post a positive thread recognizing the devs’ hard work The entire presentation of this update was just magnificent. AND THE LOOT! By the gods, I’ve never seen so many valuable things in my bags!

(and those Tormented weapons from Nightfall unffff…. Crystal Desert soon?? ;D )

Yeah i loved the scene its definanly great work by the devs.
But.. What loot? o.0 working hard for 15 hours, still not a single power core :/

Hey, well apperently ive been doing those events all day, usualy the group fails to even pass the 3 first generals in time, Yeah alright.. so we passed those, we almost killed the big hologram boss and the server crashed for all… okay… so we did this again and again and again and finaly the team managed to take it down oh and guess what? no dynamic/static/synergetic stones at all in the loot, how are we supposed to get 10 of those if its so rare?
And i spent 10 hours to get 1 synergetic piece.. thats not even what i wanted, but how about people who work every day and dont have 10+ hours every day?

Great thanks ;P
Also is there anything else that i should get before it ends? like the ingredients to make the gift of blades and the other crystal thing?

Hello guys
What im wondering is, if i get the Advanced spinal back piece, and the Recipe for “Gift of the blades”.
Can i craft the ascended piece after the 18th?
And if yes, could you please list all the ingedients i need to get before it all ends? i will appericiate it a lot! thanks ;P
