Still Can't Get Into Challenge Modes

The big problem is, imo, that when you miss the start and don’t do cm in the first couple of days , you end up being excluded from good parties. (until you get a clear)
Although, as in my case, knowing all the stuff and only did a LNHB run (Arkk 4% godkitten it! Nova Launch bugged for one guy) I have problems to get into groups, because title or kp I can’t provide, although I know the whole stuff.

I know people want experienced players but the big problem is, that an essence or the first title proofs nothing. (since you could have been carried or bought it.)
The requirement separates wheat from chaff, but in many cases the chaff is filled with good players that can’t proof that they are good.
As for dps meters, I couldn’t care less.

Do I need another Shared Inventory Slot?

If you play fractals with more than one character it’s already useful to have another one. If not, then nah, don’t see a reason.

I saw GS4 auto attack reapers…

but what baffles me most is that most of them seem to cast certain spells or attacks when a mob is close… Must be 3rd party software (aka botting), right?

I only can assume you made a joke. Underwater combat, lol.

Although, on a serious note: I really like(d) the uw combat system, it just feels so… without diversity. I always hope(d) for a uw rehaul but the devs mentioned to reduce uw combat.

In fact they removed the uw section from the PvP lobby, they remoed uw map from pvp.

And if you check the LS maps, they contain water, but are all but a joke (uw wise), Especially DM seems to be a farce. almost a middle finger to uw-lovers. A huge pool of water, which kills you! ;D
A perfect troll move!

But long story short: Revenant underwater combat will probably stay the way it is. It’s probably wasted resources.

This game need Keybind for Auto targetting.

i just use the windows thingy where you click whatever button you set it to, to make your cursor flash with a giant circle. That helps for most part

It supports my statement. Anet could provide us with an ingame option to change the cursor, but instead we are bound to use a 3rd party software – which I’m fine with.

It’s doable. Sadly just with a good amount practice, perfect execution, no vague spawns and on top of it: luck. Also, use a character running a condi build helps.

Learn your route, know the skills, don’t use instant casting if you have it on. And then roll.
Mistake: start over – until you don’t do mistakes…

I did it after 2-3 hours focusing only on this. But the last ones I killed with the overloaded last skill.

Also: Note the words “boils” (to finale) and (the deception will) “burn”. Looks like a fire theme and that could mean Primy or Baddazar.

Checked in now – green, thorny and jungle-ish again.

I was wondering myself yesterday but didn’t give it any attention after that. Probably something like the jungle wurm model that was changed for a short time.

I guess you mean dragon hunters instead of guardians.

So.. I’m playing my own bunker-style build of dh, get the usual comment of “lame class” etc.
People stop to think as they see your class. Most of the time that’s the reason they fail to understand the mechanics in different playstyles.

A noob used to be someone who was new to the game, I wonder when it began to mean “someone who kills me with a weapon/class/build that I don’t like”?

You’re thinking of newb, or newbie. Someone who is new to something.

A noob, or n00b, generally refers to someone who isn’t good at something despite their experience, and seem to have no will to even try to get better at it. They also have a tendency to think they are good at something when really they aren’t and the refuse to admit just how bad they are.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Noob <—-educational material.

It seems the OP had repeatedly roflstomped a n00b and he was salty about it, which is typical n00b behavior.

I would call it that:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning-Kruger_effect

But yes. Usually, I tend to send a package of salt to people that were flaming in chat about lost pvp.

I just saw a YT video about what women/girls do secretly and would never tell.
One of those was farting with the air exiting to the front, there were other names for it aswell, but “retweeting” was called too.

But… still not funny. At least not when you are a bit out of your diapers (;

It’s easy to still do the event:

Have all in one subgroup.
Commander goes first person and look for it, find it and target it.
Commander DOES NOT take it and retarget it, since I know trolls just targetting other objects/players in there. They cease to do so if they realize that there’s one constantly clicking Ctrl + T ;D
When the valve is nearly dead, commander picks it up.

Also, when you notice who targeted away from commanders target, you simply kick him from squad and lock.
Targetting problem solved.

Only the bunch of items there are the problem, but being in first person mode does the trick quite well..

BUT!
This is not the solution, just don’t allow dropping bundles inside there, could be hard for summoning eles though…

Hi.

I recently played T4 Nightmare Fractal and I noticed a sudden rise of difficulty to stay alive with the last phase. Some of you may tell me, that it’s normal, and I thought so myself. My wife and me, we were unable see stuff.

The outer circle became blank white and the shield bubble turned very dark, black.

Maybe I got better reflexes than my wife so I survived and didn’t realize that this shouldn’t be the case. She told me that she could see the arrows now (deads’ screen turning grey-ish).

I wondered a bit since my co-players told me, that you can see where they are heading.

But now I watched a yt-video and was surprised to see a normal arena with an outer green area. So it must be a graphical bug, dunno if it’s repeatable, since I didn’t do it again.

Did it T4 yesterday, first time. And I must say: I was a bit surprised by the phases. Really love that the different phases really feel like a progression in the fight.
What really freaked me out was: 15% mark! Hell, the whole party, at the beginning, was surprised, one died at once, the rest got it down to 2%.
Fun times!

Didnt care for achis at first try! ^^ Will do them later.
Anyway: Great fractal!!

The worst Mastery system Ever

True Immersion Track

T6
T7:

T8: Swimming becomes more difficult: Heavy Armor users aren’t able to swim at all. Medium and light armor have a very good swimming experience, until the the clothes are soaked.
Please take off your clothes before entering water.

T9: Your stamina will deplete upon moving faster than walking aka running. The stamina bar will be enhanced, having 4 slots (5 for DDs). There are 4 ways to refill your stamina (from worst to best): 1) Instead of running, walk. 2) Stand still. 3) /sit 4) Use special food like stimpaks and other meds(chef 500).

The worst Mastery system Ever

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Rankomonaut.4708

Rankomonaut.4708

The new mastery EVERYONE was waiting for!

New Mastery: Climbing (the pay wall)
Start point of the new maps will be a pit, surrounded by climbable, huge walls. The mastery has 6 steps and a challenging surprise.
1) By walking towards a wall and pressing your special button, you attach yourself at the wall. You are now able to climb! Just sideways for now and the stamina bar depletes super fast, so better keep standing.
2) You are tired of sticking to a wall, 1 feet above the ground? Not any longer! Now you can climb upwards! Oh, and the neat stamina bar? It depletes even faster now! But you may climb upwards for as long as you want, which is max. 4 seconds due to stamina loss! Progress!
3) Halfway done! Not only the mastery, but now you are able to replenish the stamina bar with small fees! The “refill” button appears at 50% of your stamina bar. Each refill costs some silvers of your gold, increasing your stamina by 10%. Be aware that each refill will cost more than the previous.
4) It’s done! No, not the mastery, but the stamina bar and the constant expensive replenishing. Now the stamina bar will be refilled automatically each time it drops under 75%! Endless possibilities!
5) Wall jumps are now enabled, you may leap upwards for 50% of your stamina bar! The distance is huge but so is the refill cost!
6) The last mastery step lets you climb downwards! No more boring gliding (which is deactivated in our new maps anyway)!

Sounds like fun? It sure does! But we promised a nice little challenging surprise for you and we are sure it will bring you as much fun as we anticipate:
Instead of mastery points (which you cannot get in that starter area, the pit, you remember?) you “climb the (pay)wall”! Yes, to unlock the mastery steps you pay gems!
The price will double for each step, but it’s starting with 100 gems, how expensive could it get, eh?

One more hour in Gendarran Fields. And I think I give up.
Even if my answers are wrong, I like to have some. But finding nothing for the 3rd one robs my enthusiasm. As much as I want to go on with the 4th (because I think I know where to go), I somehow cannot until I’ve done Gendarran Fields.

this jumping puzzle is not time gated though
you can practice as long as you want and not just during 1 event…

and for people who are more used to jps ~ 95% of the existing jps are a cakewalk by now so they get something for them too ..i think thats fair

And for everyone who already plans on just taking a mesmer portal now…
Try it first! … come on what do you play the game for if you just skip content right to the end…
And if you are not that good at jp yet it is the perfect time to try and get better

I think all the Mesmers who port others should stop that and instead go help others do the jp the correct way
Give advice for harder parts and hints for where the best way to jump is
Tell when a speedbuff is useful and when pressing w—>spacebar and when pressing spacebar—>w is better

But seeing how 90% of people and mostly new players just skip every daily jp because of the mesmers that always port (some of them only hoping for gold donations) and they dont even start trying just makes me sad…

100% this

I also love jps and done all of them without a mesmer. In fact, I did them all on a norn, even the first clocktower.
I’m fine with those things.
