Guild Wars 2

I like the whole feel of the fractal, far out design, fighting mechanics.
However, in my opinion, is just too long.

On snow blind ( 86 fractal level), boss becomes bugged around 50% health. He stays up on his ledge continuing to fire his aoe ice attacks.He never comes down, so boss cannot be completed.

My group tried resetting the boss via wiping, but he bugged out again around 50%.

Did you want to ruin my day? Because thats how you ruin it. O_o

can confirm, i am a sad panda about the bug.

edit: bug could of been worked around if the story instance was restarted a few times, now the mote needed for the achievement is completely gone.

There are tons of dyes to choose from! The ones you are probably looking at are the ones that are rare to get. Dont bother with those. Loads of nice color options that are still cheap are there if you look hard enough. At least we can swap dyes as much as we can. Back in guild wars 1, we had to pay per dye for each piece of armor!!!!!

nevermind, just a few minute delay, its back up now. Please delete thread.

edit 1: just kidding, cant log in again lol

edit 2: im in again, just seems like a small server issues, safe to run a dungeon now? I hope.

I am going back to ranger after awhile and wanted to play trapper ranger because I had so much fun as a trapper in guild wars 1. So I am just starting a thread on the current status of trapper rangers and wanted to ask the community your thoughts.

So what are your guys/gals experiences with trapper rangers? Where do you think they excel at and where do you think they lack a bit?

Other questions that may be useful:
-what are your favorite runes/sigils
-how do trappers do in a group fight vs solo
-pve,pvp and wvw viability
-what improvements could be made without making the build over powered
-counters to trapper rangers

Feel free to answer any and all questions and contribute any other information regarding the topic.

Example of a trapper build if you have not ran one:http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Ranger_-_Stealth_Trapper

*as a side note, I just found out recently about the stealth issues regarding the trapper runes 0_o

I am a sad panda…only need the wynes locket to finish the entire set and this bug is preventing progression. I guess I will do some chemistry in the mean time!

Tall broken down walls..mmm could be in the Ascalonian areas where the ghosts hang around. Just my 2 cents.

please fix it! :O

I feel like the queue times have been much much longer these days than a few months ago. Anyone else noticed? Stuck at 50 queue ,

Why do you think there are more people( if I not crazy)?

I run a support modified shoutbow warrior that I have been meaning to get some constructive feedback on. Anyways, use the shoutbow traits, but instead of putting 4 points into the toughness tree, put 5 points into the condition/percision tree( yyou get the extra point from the burst mastery tree by putting only 3 points)

Anyways, the reason why i like shoutbow and modified shoutbow is the condition removal. The heal is just a small bonus. Being able to have 5 seperate condition removal is amazing for dungeons, fractals and pvp. Two condi removal from 4 &5 war horn and the 3 shouts ( with the trooper rune). In addition, if you know how to stack might with the longbow fire field with blast finishers, you keep your party/team might stacks up pretty well!

I missed an achievement on the first mission of season 2 living story. How can I restart that mission?

I tried to quit the episode but it always says " continue episode" .

What are your guy’s worst pvp experience?

I never really horrible experience in pvp. Sure certain builds bugged me, but if I spec’d right, some of these meta builds were no problem to defeat. BUT, today was the cake day. I join a death match, we all are rushing in and we fight and all wipe in 45 seconds. Then we realized there were 4 turret engineers and a hammer warrior.

So they were ahead and made a turret base from hell in the center of the courtyard and just sat there all game. We could not fight close range since the turrets would lock us down and range was not an option either because healing turrets kept them up or they just backed up on the opposite of the courtyard.

So essentially I just got trolled, had no fun.

Engineers are one of the best at dungeons and fractals! People often do not realize their usefulness! They stack invulnerability like no ones business, and can provide moderate to high damage granted you spec right. They heal and remove awful conditions with the heal turret and that elite support package is amazing for tight situations. As a “new” 80 engineer, you need to work on kits and kit rotation to maximize your effectiveness. Once you master, your mechanical abilities of your fingers will be of great envy of other players.

o snap, thanks guys didnt see that !

I got all 4 enchanted map pieces while map exploring, but every time I double click the pieces…. the game says " item not found in your inventory".

Is this a bug? Or a known issue? Or do I have to dance around a dragon shrine with a sombrero and a ley line stone to make it work?

SMALL, but depends on what you deemed small. If you sell a large amount of items , someone might undercut you.. Or many people might undercut you, so you might have to remove and re list to actually sell your items. Sell in chunks , especially during non peak hours, prices climb !

How is verbal abuse described. How is it handled when reported?

Does it take an X amount of reports to be reviewed by a moderator? Can death threats or more abusive text have a higher “seriousness” factor than someone just saying " you suck"?

Since the trait juggernaut gives might stacks on a flame kit ( 6 stacks) , what do you guys think of the synergy of the superior rune of strength ? Since it increases might duration and % damage increase under the effects under might. Coupled with the HGH ( all elixirs give might), and the trait that increase 15% flamethrower/elixir kit. You could even throw in a might sigil on a weapon.

If someone could add some constructive thoughts on the subject, it would be much appreciated.

I have been testing it out and been getting decent numbers while running full knights gear. Normally I sit idle with 6 stacks of might, now with the runes I have 8/9 stacks idle. I combat i am able to reach 16 stacks quite consistently and in organized dungeons parties have been able to get 25 stacks of might consistently.

Did you just take a photo of your computer screen?

my thoughts exactly LOL

Lol ya I did take a picture of my screen. I guess in hind-site I could of taken a screen shot.

Solstice.1097:

lol raptor i’ve seen you in teamq and you are realllly bad. like not even soloq material. i bet you get raged at like every game. why post this one? maybe its cuz the first time you won a 1v1… ever?

I don’t play much pvp kitten #2. Play nice kitty

That is a very beautiful character

I am sure everyone had that one moment in pvp where something incredibly great happens. What is your moment? The story I am about to tell you guys is about revenge, not just some revenge.. sweet savory revenge.

Recently I been playing a bunch of PvP solo area matches, where 5 vs. 5 players try to control 3 points. This particular map was named Legacy of the Foefire and it was a complete stomp. The enemy team beat us with a 250 point lead. Now this wasn’t disheartening defeat as they seemed to be good players-all except one. This one “special” little person whom I will call kitten, was blabbing all throughout the game how my team “sucked”. Blabbing that the engineer was the worst of all, further insulting by saying, “there isn’t an engineer I cannot beat”.

Essentially the kitten thought that all the outnumbered fights against this engineer made him better. Now this engineer was me and I was not too happy about this blabble, however I just ignored his rant and continued playing. After the game, more babbling (or should I was meowing) against my teammates occurred. Everyone reported him, and we went about our business.

Now this is where karma happened…

My next match on Forest of Niflhel would something else. Mr. kitten happened to be on the enemy team, prompting me to wondering if he was going to rant again. As the match started, I headed towards the control point called Henge (I was going to contest the farther control point and have my other teammates deal with the two other points). Usually when someone tries to control an enemy side control point at the beginning of a match, they usually reach there first. However this match, the enemy team forgot to send someone to their control point.

As I approached Henge, approximately 30 Asurans in distance (layed end to end), I spot Mr. Kitten trying to go back to Henge to control it (after he realized no one from his team went there). I blasted him with my rifle, knocking the adorable kitten flat on his bum. I continuing running to the control point, placing my net turret between the kitten and the control point. As I was capping the control point, the kitten runs for the point again, just recovering from the net turret stun and immobilization. I started placing my rocket, heal and rifle turret in the cap point. When the kitten reached 3 Asurans away from the control point, I netted him with my rifle, again immobilizing the kitten.

By this time, he has been knocked over, stunned and immobilized (twice).
The kitten must be a bit furious about all the crowd control skills being thrown his way. After all he had been through, he gets hit again.. .with my supply drop… with a two second stun- allowing me time to cap the control point. When that effect wore off, my net turret immobilized him again; I netted him and knock him all over again, essentially just stun locked to the point where only I can decide when he could move.

I was the hammer and he was the nail. The kittens dainty feet never moved again. Did I mention about the rockets, fire, and bullets the kitten absorbed? The kitten was completely wiped off the face of Tyria, with absolutely no damage done to me. He was so close to contesting the control, all he had to do was move 3 Asurans. But instead, he was humiliated by that “bad” engineer.

After this moment, he personally message me instantly, calling me bad names… I laughed and laughed to the point where my buddies (who were on Skype playing other games) thought I was possessed. I blocked him after he sent me a second hate message and had a smile all throughout the rest of the game. Funny thing is, he avoided the Henge control point all throughout the game.

Well that’s my bit of a story. Sweet, sweet revenge. There is even a picture I manage to snap of some of the things he said. If you’re a Dev, I hope you read this story, make sure this player is not allowed to play Guild Wars 2 ever again. Why can’t people play nice? Anyways, what is your story?

So I recently got into pvp and the most frustrating thing I have experienced are guardians that spec all into defense. They do no damage. but cannot die. They sit in the cap point and cant win against him. We even had 3 people on this one guardian and all he does is run around contesting the point, leaving his teammates to cap the other points. Is there any strategy to work against their strategy ? Especially when multiple people on their team has this extreme tank build

These past few days I have been spammed with gold sellers. Usually I might get one or two gold messages a month, but i had like 5 messages in this past hour. Is anyone else experiencing an increase of gold seller spam? Or did I get unlucky ?

i retract my statement than, thanks for the info

After beating the last dungeon boss, my health was decreasing for no apparent reason. The heal skill wasnt activating for some reason and eventually I died. My teammates couldnt even revive me. Also while dying I could not pick up a chest that the boss dropped.

-just a side note, adding insult to injury, my teammates left the game ( even after i told them I still needed to get my chest) , so I got kicked out.

I have been doing fractals 1-9 and received 3 exotic armageddon light armor. Since I cant sell it, is this armor unique and only available in fractals?

Guys stick to the post and not judge other people by being adorable kittens. Btw did the marionette again, failed again! Most of the time I find myself waiting in a overflow server and a few times there are not enough people to do it. I do not like waiting in an area for 30 minutes doing nothing. I bet most people go afk during this waiting period. I feel like I am waiting in line. T_T. Event is really fun! Just it only takes one platform to wipe to mess up everyone. Maybe there could be a way where other platforms could help out after they are finished ?

First off, just want to say these events have been amazing to play through. Me and my friends all are always giddy with excitement when attempting these events. However..

Personally I have not completed both events. I have done the Twisted Marionette at least 10 times and failed it. How many times have you guys completed it? My only concern is that it often comes down to a small group of people wiping on a platform. I am not saying they suck, but it just a bit frustrating.

What are your guys opinions on the 3 Great Jungle Worms? I only did it once with a extremely large group. But after splitting up, my group manage to place only 1 set of 20 kegs of explosives. Everyone started dying and it looked like everyone just ditched.
Have your servers got it down? Or are your groups still struggling?

Just a side note, even though these attempts are failures, I still prefer these events a thousand times over Shadow Behemoth for example, where you just press 1 to win.

I have the trait deceptive evasion, the one that creates a clone when you dodge. However it seems that this doesn’t work while holding an object, such as an elementalist’s summoned weapon. This is especially annoying when running the cliffside fractal where you run a hammer up a “statue”. Sometimes a dodge clone is needed to increase the healing effects of 2 of the mesmer’s healing spells( while holding the hammer).

Is this inability to makes clones while holding an object done on purpose? Or is it a bug? If it is, I will probably delete this thread and post it on the bug section.

My group was doing the molten alliance boss battle fractal and I got stuck at the bottom of the level. Basically what happened is before the first boss went down, me and another teammate got knocked off. We both fell to our deaths. Few seconds later, one of the bosses died, my teammate and I revived. But i revived at the bottom of the level and he/she revived on the boss field. Basically I had to sit out the second half of the fight before “suiciding” to respawn again .

Many quest games have these “fetch” quests that can be extremely dull. I have to give props to fetch quests in guild wars 2 for being much better. My favorite one by far is in Wayfarer Foothills, where you have to collect rabbit food and avoid the ravenous rabbits that try to knock you over! What is your favorite fetch quest?

Looking for a medium size guild to join. Have been a veteran GW1/GW2 player, and even ran a large guild for a while. However college has been keeping me back from guild leader duties so the guild pretty much disbanded.

I want to help other people learn dungeons, fractals, wvw and all the other great things out there.

always want to avoid integrated graphic cards and get a dedicated card

Best farm is doing dungeon runs. For example, I can run with a decent group through Cid ital of the flames path 1 and Honor of the waves path 1 dungeon in around 30 minutes. Right away you get 2 gold in daily bonus. Add in the materials you find can be easily 3 gold. Most importantly ( for me), is all the junk armor/weapons that can be found. Salvage all of it, get a buttload of luck essence, increasing your magic find and your future dungeon runs.

You only get experience and rewarded at your own story line. If you and your friend are on the same storyline quest, you will both get rewarded. I believe if you are not on the same story line, you will not get exp or a reward. The “join” feature just happens whenever you are in the same party and in the same area, no matter what quest you are on or level difference. Hope this help :P

I jumped in the general direction indicated by the red circle in the photos and got stuck in/on that wall. I was not able to walk away. Porting to a waypoint was not possible( since I was in combat) and could not draw mob aggro to kill myself to respawn. Enemies would walk past me when my team pulled them to me.

Add me if your at least 17.

my condolences to the people who were about to complete the arah dungeon…

I have been playing GW2 for awhile now with friends and it has been great. It has amplified the experience of this game ten fold. I am not just talking about only hanging with guild mates. I mean late game night with close buds and people I have never met before on Skype. If I played this game alone, it would get boring fast, but hanging with the same people consistently has been phenomenal.

Who plays the game with a group of buds and have you guys had/have similar experiences?

Do you play alone ? Do you still have fun ?

Long story short, I am going back to my engineer class after a long long time. So long that I will be making a new human engineer ( my asuran engi size issues was bugging me XD )
Can anyone comment on this build? And if they have a better solution to fix a problem? I want to primarily use a flamethrower, and have no idea if its viable. Any insight, comment or suggestion would be greatly appreciated

I have a gas mask that is on my Mesmer’s light skin armor. Is there anyway to put this skin on a medium piece of armor( for my engineer)?

The reason is I know the gas mask skin is account bound, but the transmutation stone wont let me transmute light armor to medium armor.

There are usually a lot of things to do on GW2, but on busy college related days I usually have to compact my play time into a efficient manner

Extremely busy day:
- run citadel of the flame dungeon path one
- run twilight arbor dungeon UP path
- run honor of the waves dungeon path 1

2-3 hours to myself:
- run citadel of the flame dungeon path one
- run twilight arbor dungeon UP path
- run honor of the waves dungeon path 1
- run a fractal set
- finish up daily

Complete freedom from school:
- run citadel of the flame dungeon path one
- run twilight arbor dungeon UP path
- run honor of the waves dungeon path 1
- run a fractal set
- finish up daily
- do most world bosses
- work on living story achievements
- wvw

On busy days, those dungeon runs add up with all that gold and mats. It’s a quick routine that I can live with. What is your GW2 routine ?

I have just finished my artificer to 500 to get a ascended weapon. Dumping all my gold and bank mats into crafting , I am wondering can i make money off of crafting 400+ tier materials?

Seems so much gold to craft one weapon right? Might as well make some gold along with making an ascended weapon.

Purely aesthetic wise, which unlimited logging tool do you guys think looks better?

I have a level 80 char guardian, commander, all gathering tools ( unique), weapons , town cloths items all soul bound to this character.

My question is..

If I move all my items to the bank, delete my character , create a new race with the same name as my level 80 guardian , am i able to use all my soul boud items on the new character?

Could you guys put a “open all” feature on bags?

Sincerely, My Finger
