Guild Wars 2

Yeah I did this exact same thing myself just a minute ago, I had some VERY old items in the mail, but just took out anything story related and I got the mail afterwards.

Name : Quex Fehftir
; Mainly PvE but little bits of WvW/PvP and assssssssssss Scholar.

So late but lol.. I still think this probably needs to be said. The community here is so demanding.

I’m not sure I understand why people are complaining.. half of the difficulty from other MMORPG’s is gear checks. Personally, it’s not like FotM is the only way to get high end gear, so I don’t see why anyone would care about it in the least, if htey have no intention of doing FotM. It just seems like you are never happy with anything. It’s quite difficult to make constantly challenging PvE encounters without a gear scale imo. There are only so many ideas you could use, and they actually nerfed some dungeon fights already, as people were complaining about how hard they were. I remember some things from a while back. They just catered a bit too much to the casuals who just wanted to play the game imo. I think explorable should be harder, maybe like what other games use as ‘hard’ mode, or ‘heroics’ as far as WoW should go, rather than just another path to do. This would be something for the more hardcore players to pick up on.

Anyone ever taken more fall damage than this?! http://imgur.com/gFbuwVx

I’m rather in agreement with the crowd here. At the very LEAST, open them if you are going to remove access. If you had done something about it MUCH sooner @ Anet, then sure, maybe it WOULD have been fine. But waiting so long after things are already established there, it’s like you are doing it just to kitten off the playerbase. What the hell are / were you thinking?

The rollback is also quite long. Probably at least 10 minutes before the time frame of when the DC’s start happening. I spent some time sitting around talking after getting this JP done, and lost the achievement for it.

Yeah it’s DC’ing on map switch, the login server isn’t working properly, as you aren’t able to log into the forums either during this time frame.

Ah ladies and gents at anet, IN CASE you do’nt already know this, it seems to be happening about 9:35 – 9:45 PM EST, though for all I know maybe you guys posted this as a regular maintenance or something. However I didn’t hear anything about it if so. Just seems odd that it occured EXACTLY the same time last night, as I was talking to a friend on AIM about it the same times both today and yesterday. What’s going on!

You guys do realize this has been happening like once a day since the maintenance patch? Or this is at least the third day I have seen it, and it only started just recently.

http://tinyurl.com/cvc57h3 – Healing Shatters.

This is for sPvP. The idea is to create and shatter illusions as much as possible, focusing mainly on Illusionary Retribution Trait and Phantasm Single hits for damage, along with multiple shatters for healing. The healing along with high toughness in this build will leave you to be able to take a ton of hits, while still throwing damage back.

Scepter 2 ; OH Sword 4 are great for creating Illusions and putting back some damage for counter attacks. The phants should also just be used as often as possible, and then shattered after a single hit in most situations.

With the Energy Sigil on each weapon, dodging for damage evasion/clone creation is paramount to this build. Swapping often to put Freeze down when you are attacked will also slow the damage enough to keep your hp high, switch as often as possible.

This build will be more about outlasting than ability to lay down burst, and is obviously more defensive.

<<< me!

Wow that’s kitten . – -;

I’m not sure if anyone would know this yet.. but say you started a guild mission on.. Ehmry Bay, and you had another guild member who regularly played on Darkhaven guesting to EB for the guild mission, would they still receive guild commendations for successfully completing the mission?!

Lol are you guys kidding me.. if ascended gear is so hard to get, then don’t get it? There’s nothing wrong with adding currency to get new content, it’s pretty standard in fact. Guild missions do take some kind of huge amount of players to get the basic stuff though.. that’s the only real issue here imo. Not easy to fix though!

Lol it’s usually about 2 hrs, we’ll see about the rest!

BUMPPPPPPPPPP. Just so more people can see this and come!

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It’s too bad Friday is the popular choice lol.. since it’s WvW reset night as well, but it was always ahead by a decent bit. Hopefully the other days will get a bit more popular though!

Bump for tonight! Everyone get in on this, gogogogo!

That should be good! Even though you really could have hung around before, hope to see you soon!

You CANNOT leave phant’s up in phase 1 or you’ll shaft your team..

I’m sorry.. can you PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME? I don’t understand..

There’s another post with times for this week to vote on.. though it should be done now. Should have info posted soon.

Adding something here to make sure others see this! Check it out!

Lol are you guys all seriously kittenting me? Have you guys ever considered using ranged phants and simply asking your party to move up to around the 900 range that they shoot from? I can normally keep up 3 Phants on Lupi npc at all phase 1, and it’s rarely ever an issue that they spawn outside of our little circle, so long as people are paying attention. Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever even had a party argue with me on this. – Phase 2 is really just about staying alive, I think most classes have some trouble here. 3 isn’t hard at all.

Lol that’s a good meeting spot actually! Good stuff there. And yeah, hope to see you next week for sure Jalliel! We will definitely be doing something.

Ohhhh, so you EU guys use DR. :o

Haha, another decent night for #2 as well. Def gotta plan earlier on Saturdays in the future though! Will get some infos out about next week soon!

I don’t see any reason not to do this weekly, either once or twice a week depending on whatever. Def something to look forward to.

Good night +1! Hope to see everyone again tomorrow, and hopefully we can land some better timers on .. everything!

Ooo gogogo! I’d like to see the EU one as well if it was possible. But no go!

Hmmm we took the two days with the highest totals, which turned out to be both Friday and Saturday.. I’m going to update first post here. For Saturday though.. I’m thinking maybe a bit earlier? I don’t think everyone wants to be in playing this game Saturday night rofl.

Rata Sum should be good. As for times.. on Friday maybe a bit later… 9ish EST? To make it a bit better for PST’ers, Saturday should be open though.

Yeah that’s a good idea.. and thanks a ton for making it!

Hmm originally I was thinking 2 days would be best.. just so you could come to one if you miss the other. Maybe Saturday and Wednesday? But yeah a poll would be amazing if you could do that. Would make organizing this light years easier!

Or is this just not released yet..?!

I asked around my guild and some said they had info for the new story under the orange star tracker, and some others including myself said they did not. Anyone else with this issue?

Lol yeah that’s exactly what it was, kinda made me laugh about that. No biggie though! And I honestly don’t know anything about the guesting system yet.. I thought it may have required having a friend on that server though.

What I normally do after running Wrack is Pop Decoy/Mirror Images and used Cry Of Frustration right on top of it. Just rebound utility 7/8 and F2 to 456 on numpad for instant burst to follow up wrack. I run GS/STaff, so if something is still alive, or it’s a big mob I’ll swap and pop Chaos Armor/Storm.

Lol yeah I was looking at that post quite a while back, too bad it’s EU. But let’s get something going for sure!

There’s an idea, though obviously we can’t guest! Any other mesmer coalitions wannnnna make themselves known here?!

ALRIGHT, NEEDS MOAR HYPE NOW. I suppose to play it it safe, picking a low population server is probably the best bet. So maybe Devona, Eredon, or Isle of Janthir?
As for WHAT to do once we all get there.. that is to be decided for sure.

Yea hahah, I was thinking about Darkhaven as well! I’m definitely going to pick some server though… and post it here sometime either right before, or after guesting becomes available, along with some times!

Well we could easily choose any one.. and any map for that matter. Not too worried about that!

::: Info for this week should be up and coming, along with a new poll to get it there! Will have things posted here when it’s all ready to go!

Alright so seriously.. with guesting FINALLY being added, and some servers already getting groups of us together for meetings and such on separate servers, how about we all pick one to go to once or twice a week and just hang out! Maybe some server with a cool name like Sea of Sorrows or Crystal Desert? Assuming that population doesn’t limit guesting as well. Anyone else interested in this?!

Lol not giving much of a care about shattered strength. Screwing up proper shatter burst with .25 seconds of global CD because they can’t code shatters right is extremely annoying and disappointing.

Backfire lol so much fun.

Lol yeah it would be really nice to know which were up. Maybe rather than color swapping, even placing a letter based on the phant, or just a solid colored circle for a clone would be hugely useful.

Lol I have actually been doing this same thing on Ehmry Bay as well. Lost focus on it a bit though unfortunately. Make sure to figure out some way to keep communication!

For a staff, this depends totally on your playstyle. Rampager’s is probably very powerful considering it will affect all your damage, but lategame Cond Damage is comparatively weak due to gear scaling. This is really a tough one to answer, since sometimes bleeds stack so high, it wouldn’t matter if you had any condition damage at all as they won’t be applied. It’s really easy to lose DPS on proc’d burns, even when it’s from another clone or yourself. If you plan on using shatters, power is probably best. However Staff probably isn’t the ideal weapon for that either, unless it’s only for a swap off.

Good stuff there!
