Guild Wars 2

It is what it is… I have the rest of the achievements done, and I’ll just keep trying every once in a while to see if I get lucky with the last one. I thought we almost had it on my last attempt, but near the end a champ golem picked one up and there was no way we were going to kill it in time… we even managed to whittle the breakbar down once, but it just had too much health since only some could break away to concentrate on it while the speedy golems were still running about.

All the achievements appeared for me once I did the first event. For example, I only turned in for the Priory in that first event, yet the achieve for turning in to Consortium showed up too. Thwart the Inquest was also there before, but now it isn’t.

I would find it a bit odd that all the achieves would only show up once you did them.

Anyone else have the Thwart the Inquest achieve disappear? I haven’t completed it, but it no longer appears under Current Events category.

Gotta give those premades something to farm!

I just wanted to say thank you to CS for helping me out after I did a very boneheaded thing.

Long story short, I used an item on a character that I didn’t intend to use it on, and sent a request hoping they could help me out. Not only did they provide a replacement item, but they did it very quickly.

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate the help.

Still happening… fixed it once by repairing, but that is not something I’m going to do every time servers decide to dc me…

Edit: Switching characters a couple times seems to have fixed it for me so far…

+1 to replacing the tomes instead of the charges! I’m swimming in those kitten things and with the nerf to BLKey farming I no longer have a use for them.

I guess it was an XP booster then… that’s what I used to always save the powder for since they are beyond useless to me… guess the powder is useless to me now too.

Edit: Good thing you mentioned the rarity since it prompted me to look it up. I guess the new XP boosters aren’t useless since they give some benefit in PvP… do they affect WvW World Exp?

They’re like a mix of vuvuzela and wet fart all in one!

I received some a couple days ago from a BL Chest, but when I try to use it the BLTC window opens up showing Boosts. Does it no longer work with boosts in your inventory? If not bugged (would be a weird bug at that) how is this supposed to work now?

I would be surprised if the DPS trait line doesn’t include something for high swiftness or even perma 25%… or maybe one of the utilities.

That’s what traits are for. Right now there are a few but I think they can look into it… maybe tweak/replace the ones already in place.

3.) The Daze Salvation trait doesn’t actually daze at all. It shows that it dazes, but it has no effect. (Lol)

Was going to comment on the same, and also mention how ANet may want to reconsider this trait instead of fixing it. I had envisioned a troll build spamming the Mallyx Elite. I tried it on golems and saw the daze being applied, but then noticed in actual play that it was like the “daze” applied by Launch Personal Battering Ram when it was bugged. Still, if fixed to work as currently intended, this would be very high uptime daze since one can keep it up for a long time.

I ended up with a similar build, but went with Explosives instead of Inventions. You lose some survivability, but it adds a couple of options IMO.

I also gave up an elixir in order to carry Throw Mine… probably not the best route, but I’ve always found that skill useful. CC, blast finisher, and the tool belt is quite powerful on relatively short cd, even though it may be tough to land full dmg… plus it strips boons.

Explosives also makes Mortar Kit useful as a ranged alternative plus buffs Orbital Strike.

Before patch I was running Zerker gear with Runes of The Citadel. I wanted to maximize Fury since damage in my previous build was hard hitting but slow (not nades :P ). That it added an extra bomb was just something that I enjoyed… unfortunately, I’m pretty sure it doesn’t benefit from any traits. I’ve kept the gear and it seems to be doing fine.

IMO, the only drawback is that I don’t get to use rifle as much which I’ve always liked.

If you want something to show off to people, the only thing to get right now imo would be full radiant/hellfire armor because you’ll need a crap ton of achievement points.

full set of hellfire already… AP isn’t really a bragging right anymore so I don’t put it on at all, I do have 6k permanent AP that I’m proud of and wish I could show off.

Agree that AP isn’t too much to brag about, but I was under the impression no one has full hellfire set yet. I thought it took at least 30K AP to get full set and highest seems to be only 28K so far.

If looking for something that will impress… that will depend on the players you’re trying to impress. Personally, I’ve never seen any gear in any MMO that would cause me to be impressed by another player.

As far as endgame, there really is none in GW2… or alternatively, everything is endgame in GW2. With the exception of spvp, nothing requires skill, and is accessible to practically everyone by design. There is hope that pve may get some “challenging” content in HoT, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

Not claiming it’s conclusive proof, but the link seems to point to WP during VW as being the right move.

You just described the entirety of GW2…

It’s EotM… who cares? Just respawn and keep going with the brainless karma train.

So every profession takes no skill to play?

How did your Mesmer learn his/her Mesmer skills? This was not shown either, and I’m assuming you filled in the blanks… do the same here.

Common issue for many games. As has been stated above, it seems to be manly due to clipping issues and the way to get around these would likely involve too much time/work.

Longbow as melee weapon!

Or a simple dodge… or two.

It’s also been brought up that one may be able to actually do triple spike with use of SoI. That may be OP, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

Did they say that you couldn’t Stun Break? If they did, I overlooked it.

Avoiding fatal blows by itself is not OP… Engi A.E.D.

If the time the first F5 skill and the second is short, and the cd of F5 is high enough then it won’t be too bad.

Problem may come depending on how much alacrity one has access to, but they should be able balance that with duration.

I’m not saying it isn’t powerful, but so far doesn’t look OP to me. Basically gives double spike capability, which other classes kinda already have. At least that’s my current view of it.

Pets are the Ranger mechanic… of course their traits are going to be all over the place. That’s like complaining about Mesmer having shatter traits all over the place… although some professions that seem to keep most of their professions mechanic traits mainly in one line. Beastmastery does focus on pets…

Many Ranger traits in general (and this also applies to some other professions to a lesser degree IMO) don’t seem to have much rhyme or reason regarding what line they fall in.

Roe.3679:

Then you would block players you thought were bad.

Think of it the opposite way – if it were more likely to team you up with friends, people would just friend top players. Is that a good system? Isn’t matchmaking already a little rough without another angle?

But it isn’t more likely to team you up with friends… so that’s not an issue.

If elitists block everyone they feel is bad, then so be it… hope they enjoy the longer queue times… and hope that good players don’t block them.

How about just not teaming you with them? They can still be opponents.

Hambow… lotta folks will give you crap about it being easy-mode (and it is :P ) but I find it to be fun.

I went into pvp without looking into builds at all and it just happens that my pve build was already pretty much Hambow so it worked out for me.

Edit: and like others said, you’ll have better luck posting this in pvp section.

I love the outfits, and hope they make more… but I also want armors to allow me to mix and match. I have no problem with them churning out more outfits than armors as long as they don’t stop providing armors or reduce it to 1-2 sets per armor class per year.

I wish some of the outfits had been released as armor since I would like to only use some parts, but I can just imagine the intense whining that we’d get from clipping issues…

I’d like to thank all the folks that worked on making this happen…

Lampshade.7569:

It took me 12 seconds total to open a new tab, go to youtube and find a walkthrough for a specific dungeon. Five more seconds to find the cutscenes.

I’m going to assume you mean the OP should’ve done this before attempting dungeon. While I would kinda agree on the walkthrough ( I don’t think dungeons are difficult enough that they can’t just be explained ingame), I don’t agree with the custcenes. I fully realize I’ll be in the minority on this, but I like to see them as I go, and in context.

For the OP, as many have stated already, either start your own group or join one, but let folks know you are new and watching cutscenes. Best bet is to join a guild and you’ll likely have guildies that are willing to not rush you.

I try to kinda match what seems like lore so I find it’s an issue with Asura and Sylvari since they have single names. Every other race is quite easy for me to name.

Asura are a bit easier for me, but Sylvari used to be practically impossible when I was trying to restrict myself to the making them have the whole Irish/Gaelic/? theme that quite a few npc names used. Then I noticed that the Sylvari npc names were quite varied when you start looking at all the random minor ones like merchants.

I appreciate the “shock” to new players may be a problem, but otherwise you can’t get around the issue of not being able to see what your final product is if you can’t see the combination. I’m not sure pushing back the “shock” later into their experience will help much, but I would hope it only deters a few.

Incorporating the gemstore and looking into your storage seems like it would significantly ratchet up the difficulty/complexity in implementing this. I agree it would be ideal, but given that this would fall waaaaaay down on a list of things to do (if they would even add it to a list :P ) I figure a compromise that I believe may reduce the work may be preferable. It could be that either option is too complicated either way for them to consider anyways…

I was also thinking about this recently.

Perhaps a compromise of showing the exclusive stuff in character creation, but have it be kinda greyed out. You would be able to select them and see the effects, but you couldn’t move that step in creation with those choices selected. Once character created then you can make final adjustments once you get in-game.

I realize this would be less than ideal, but see it as maybe an option that reduces the amount of work redesigning character creation.

Thank you, Anet. I will happily spread the word to everyone I know that the story will be playable again.

I just want to be clear that we haven’t announced a release date for the Personal Story Restoration content yet. We’re posting information on Tuesday.

You tease!

Kidding aside, I’m very glad this change is being made. Thanks!

You can always try adding the name you want as a friend in game. I don’t know if it doesn’t catch names under certain circumstances, but I know I’ve used it and it seemed to work.

The reorder of the story makes no sense… now we forge into Orr to cleanse it… then go back and do the story missions where we forge into Orr…

Have they at least explained why they thought this was a good idea?

JQ resident and achieve says I got 2nd.

Haven’t received chest…

Seems I’m in the same boat

Is there a reason that they didn’t say what the schedule for MKT appearances are? Is it every hour? Every 3 hours? Other?
