Guild Wars 2

I put my thoughts here

I see your point. I think that ArenaNet’s point is that they want us, the player, to forcibly talk and interact with one another to come up with resources like gw2stuff or http://gw2crafts.net/ or http://www.guildwarstrade.com/ or http://gw2spidy.com

GW2 is a very odd game where they allow you to be casual all day and night, but there’s a very steep slope that turns you into hardcore right away with only a few steps.

This is my guild and I innocently doing a mini-dungeon and stumbling upon a daily chest world boss – http://www.twitch.tv/ragethehashtags/c/2659264 Little did we know this was a known thing!

I would suggest sitting in the overflow until you get a pop up to join the main.

Hi arabeth! I think we were all in the same boat as you at one point or another. To answer your questions the best way I know, Arenanet released API information that let us know when all events in the game were up and active. Based on trial and error, people had been updating the wiki page with what was giving out a daily chest and what was not. You can see that here – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chest#Daily_chest

Websites like http://us.gw2stuff.com/en/events/us keep track of all of the relevant events to keep track of what is up and what is not to better guide people on where to get their daily chests. Keep in mind that the timers on each server are different. So the timer on Sea of Sorrows would be completely wrong for that of Sanctum of Rall. Here – https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/events.json?world_id=1013 is the event page for Sanctum of Rall. Within all that mess is the information for all the events currently for the game. Using https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/event_names.json you can decypher which event is which, like {"id":“568A30CF-8512-462F-9D67-647D69BEFAED”,“name”:“Defeat Tequatl the Sunless.”}, being killing Teql. The current state on SoR is {"world_id":1013,map_id,“event_id”:“568A30CF-8512-462F-9D67-647D69BEFAED”,“state”:"Fail"}, so SoR failed the last attempt at the event “Defeat Tequatl the Sunless”. That state is visually represented by having the fishheads and all that all over the place. That’s the failed state.

Anyway, I think I went on a little tangent, but I hope some of that helped!

One thing that comes to mind right away is that the turrets shouldn’t spawn until Teql actually spawns. I’ve seen people Akittenside a turret too many times to realize that letting people in the turrets ahead of time is not the best idea.

Excellent write up. You know you’re going to have a bad time if your zerg is spread out across beyond a 600 range area…AND it’s further than a 300 range from Teql’s front right foot.

As it’s only a 15 minute fight, I would look over http://tinyurl.com/teqstrat and do the best you can.

Good luck and remember to always aim to have fun!

Vol.5241:

Yeah that happened to us yesterday on SoR. We were on the 25% phase and was finishing the battery. We left the batteries at 20 seconds and one of them died at 1 second. We thought it would mean the vulnerability phase would be shorter but nope.

We were more shocked than angry.

And here’s video of that one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpFfJ6mfXCY

The word “Experience” is spelled “Experiance”

Sup Grouch :p

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

I see them spawn in overflow and non-overflow. The frequency is greatly reduced from opening day of the festivities and is also random. I’ve been in a zone 2 hours without seeing a “culling” event (these are the ones that spawn champs) and at other times seen three within the hour, one each after the pairs of legendary bosses were killed.

Scaled champions? Or Champions from events?

Just reporting that even in the real server, (not the overflow), after the latest patch, still no champions are spawning within the Pavilion. Did Scarlet eat them?

Legxis.7140:

What, are you talking about Champions like Boom-Boom, Pyroxis and stuff? Because those Champions still spawn, I fought against them yesterday and today just normally in zerks, once in an Overflow and once in the normal server.

Those are legendaries, not champions. I’m talking actual Champions, like they did on day 1 of the Crown Pavilion.

I must have missed it, but perhaps it’s too early for a hotfix\patch today?

Does the Golem Banker say Soul Bound anywhere on it where it used to not say?

When you are in the Heart of the mist, your daily changes to the PvP daily, therefore the PvE daily is no longer active while there. Any actions do no apply to the PvE daily. This has been brought up in the past and that was the answer given at that time.

I hope that helps.

You did it at the edge of one section that meets another. Can you replicate this is you do it in an open grassy area?

Caittus.7436:

Champions spawned in the Crown Pavilion? I’ve never seen any, just the Legendary event bosses.

Yes! So much so, they actually had to reduce it. See here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_updates/2013-08-06#Queen.27s_Jubilee_2

But ever since then, there have been 0 champions. I would imagine this was an over-adjustment and I would hope it to be fixed soon, (tomorrow’s patch possibly)?

Can anyone else confirm this on other servers? I’ve noticed this on Overflow servers, off of SoR…if that’s even a thing.

We’ve noticed that since the patch to reduce the number of champions spawning in the Centaur area of the Pavilion wedge, we NEVER see champions spawning in any wedge. This is even with a full overflow.

Just a quick update that this still is happening on the latest build.

The champions in [Valley of Gwaun], [&BLQCAAA=], cave in Mt. Maelstrom still have the Determined buff that never goes away, no matter what you do. This was not the case prior to recent patches.

Aren’t the Karka 20 slot bags “unique” as well, but you can equip two of them? I don’t recall now.

I’m not sure if this has been said, but you can’t take the 200% mf you get from Southsun out of Southsun. So you end up using the same amount of mf in the fractal.

The real question that needs to be asked is “When will I be able to kill the Tengu? I need my feathers!”

The story of Southsun is that we basically stole the land and established Waypoints. I believe that if you fast forwarded a few years, Southsun will have more Waypoints, hearts, vistas, POIs…just like a normal map. But for not, it is an evolving territory.

Try doing the content in full magic find gear. That should prove to be challenging.

I haven’t gotten a mail about gold spamming in months. If this continues, then please continue to suppress.

I think what would be a better suggestion is to not suppress people in your guild/friends list, (not follower).

Any GW2 fan that could afford it will. This is a loaded question that I’m surprised hasn’t been locked yet.

Guild missions are manageable when using voice chat. The problem that I see the most come up is the PvE culling, where you can’t visually see how many people are standing where. It is quite annoying.

We use Mumble subfolders specifically for pre-scouting guild bounties, which works 100% of the time, and does take some coordination. As the GL, I find it very exciting to activate that Bounty Tier 3 button.

For all the other guild missions, PvE culling is only a pain when doing specific guild challenges as well as the Plains of Ashford Guild Puzzle. Not being able to see who is standing at the outside curtains was a real time waster as I had to move my way close enough to see who was where.

One of the most annoying aspects of the Guild Missions, is that anyone in the guild can start them. We had a situation where our Guild Rush was started in the real SouthSun, while we ferried everyone into one overflow. We didn’t know it had been activated until 19ish minutes later, when we got a notification that we failed the bounty, even though it was still going on in the overflow. Need need to only allow the person that activated the bounty have access to start the mission, especially if it’s a Rush, Challenge, Bounty or Puzzle. Trek is obviously different.

Ok, I guess that’s enough venting. None-the-less, it’s still alot of fun.

Offer some examples using real traits/etc. so we can see what you mean.

Oh god, no. I don’t want to hear more custom audio in game that makes me cringe. The bells are bad enough.

Better yet, why not make bells muteable. A good bell player or not, I hate hearing the bells.

Use SweetFX and everything is instantly fixed.

Please put them back the way they were.

hah! If only it had “Damage: 1” associated to it.

I would like Arenanet to be aware that kills caused by mesmer’s focus 5 skill, “Phantasmal Warden”, does not count towards the focus Weapon Slayer achievement. Even though the phantasm wields duel axes, I believe that it should count as focus kills.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Healix.5819:

Since I wanted to know this info… I made it easier.

Wow, this will be very useful once they add the extremely inactive people as well.

Rage The Numbers.7943:

MISS! Hi. The only issue I see is that this doesn’t list all 497 guild members, only 258.

This means they have not acquired an achievement point since the system was brought online a few weeks back.

If true, this is the opposite of what we need, hah

MISS! Hi. The only issue I see is that this doesn’t list all 497 guild members, only 258.

I would go after all the achievement points possible. Slayer, bosses, etc.

Obviously we don’t know how to upgrade amulets yet, but they are in the game already. Hopefully it’ll be the same upgrade process that normal ascended rings take to get up to infused.

Robert Hrouda.1327:

DR should not affect fractals.

No DR in Fractals is pretty awesome. I wonder how the loot table works for higher levels. Does a player just inherit a specific amount of magic find when they enter at a certain level?

I’m hope that it was just hidden or something, because I think I would possibly use it at some point.

I buy level 80 armor, and either distribute them to alts, or MF them.

Chat code: [&AgGmmQAA]

If you play the MF expecting to win, you’re going to have a bad time.

Thanks Gaile He’s trying his best to assist in a happy resolve.

Ticket #: 130124-001784

My name is Rage, the guild leader of the guild Reddit Refugees on the Sanctum of Rall server. I’m the same Rage that did FanSite Friday #36 with Gaile, way back when

I have a guild member that was hacked. The hacker bought gems, spent gems sold items, etc and created a ruckus on his account. In haste and panic, my guild member requested a refund, which was granted and bought a new account. Is there a way ArenaNet can restore his original account so his 1000+ hours of gameplay doesn’t disappear into the ether?

Please give us good news.

Oglaf.1074:

Any chance for a sneak peek? Just one encounter….?

:P

Throw us a bone here!

I was hoping it would be a surprise, but sure. I rebuilt the “Defend Magg while he plants the bomb” event in CoF (path 2). It now involves a special flame legion assassin who must be killed before he reaches Magg, while dealing with never-ending spawns of (non veteran…) flame legion out to distract the players and add pressure.

Will the new assassin drop $$?

You need to find a guild that does things like this:
