Guild Wars 2

i dont do fractals, i lothe most raids dungeons, pve etc. and everything i look at says i need Vial of Condensed Mists Essence, or Glob of Coagulated Mists Essence.
Isnt there anything else?
can someone provide me a list or a recipe for one i can make with just mats? thanks

Dunno what server you lot on, but on gandara the skill lag sucks big time, anytime there is a battle 100 players or more the whole area lags out, we are unable to use any skills apart from auto atk. In Eternal – Battle in SM? well good luck trying to fight there!, the whole surrounding area lags out Badd! Unable to use any skill other then one for 10+ seconds?!
Sometimes The server seems to hasten up after one of these battles maybe to try to compensate for the data loss? and skills are able to be activated faster then usual.
it sounds weird i know but thats the only way to explain it. Server haste we call it. this shouldnt happen at all!
its Very noticeable with my melee characters very annoying sometimes too
these problems havent ever been fixed and I should know Ive been playing since day one.

Excellent post mate. Rangers suck kitten big time. Ive been playing since day one my main is a ranger and since then they have been nerfed over and over. Even my healy guardian with 2.2k attak can own them. anytime i see a ranger in wvw i go straight for the ez kill.
my first char was a ranger and even now i managed to get with 3.4 atk and 3.6 armor and 24k hp it still sucks. it used to be so fun playing with it but now 100’s of builds later several exotic sets in bank waiting for the day anet pull their finger out and re roll and improve the class. it just sits on the login menu kitten. Every patch they kitten the ranger and buff the thief so guess what i made? now i own all rangers. they are the ez kill for me now.
Shame it got to this cause i did enjoy the class. but compared to any other class its weak as ****!

btw i saw this for an ele and thought it applied to rangers too thats why i changed!!

well we on Gandara today are hugely outnumbered our wvw population cant even deal with the numbers from deso or abaddon.

random wvw matchups suck.

So i play this game for pvp and wvw only, Have exotics on from crafted and now an one ascended amu from laurels.

People who play dungeons and fractals find all ascended items/backpacks mystic forge recipes etc in game and now exotic recipes that drop in dungeons albeit down to luck + they can sell items on tp for gold.

I even heard rumor that legendary items will be getting upgrade to stats. I though anet was keeping them the same as other items? just visual changes?

Us; People who play pvp + wvw, we get nothing, after 90+ days I can get 3 maybe ascended rings from monthly or daily’s.

The way i see it grinding dungeons/fractals is the only way of progressing items+recipes in this game.

So therefore Eventually on the wvw battlefield even with over 15k kills my char will be gimped against someone with all items gathered from over 100hrs fractal time and 0 wvw kills.

How is this fair?

And what makes you think i and others will stay around to fight these characters? Anet your going to lose players fast if you keep rewarding pve characters and not the wvw ones.

Is this a server wide problem or something?

My pc is top end when i play planetside i can see for miles, I can see thousands of players for miles with graphics turned right up and yet in this game i can maybe see 50 people max at any one time any more and they are invisible to me.

i pan the camera constantly looking around in wvw to see the enemy and then they appear on me all of a sudden when a few moments before they werent even on my screen.

What is this all about?

Surely you can implement a way of letting top end machines veiw all the players!

cause at the moment it makes wvw suck major time.

just sort the ‘sonar sound bug’ woo woo siren. it cuts out all audio. its forcing me to disconnect to fix. this cant be done when i’m holding a fort in wvw. Fix this & i wouldnt care if someone was playing bells in my ear while i’m fighting pvp it’ll add to the fun of it all.

Farming anything is quite tedius in this game. Even with full mf gear on, I’ve always worn it pve-ing (fractals/dungeons/farming) etc. But my mate who always groups with me never has and has accumulated far much more wealth then i ever will. he has found loads of dyes while partying with me – which makes teaming up with me popular with him & it makes me sort of think – whats the point of MF!

Theres a bloke that appears now; carrying a sack and drops loot on his execution. he appeared while we were pve-ing. Me mate got good loot i got bad. whats that about all about?

Someone told me that you get diminishing returns if you camp a spot farming long periods of time, so i started rotating farm spots one every hour. but even then with full mf gear on all i notice is t6 rate of return not good but t5 quite good.
But then when you standin infront of the mystic forge having spent untold potent bloods for measley 15 powerful ones you think whats the ******** point!

I’m all for making it redundant.

What are the point of these merchants? they are almost everywhere selling useless items?? ok maybe one or two should be ok near a noob zone but in lvl 80 areas? as if we are going to buy this stuff, when we are kitted out with rare exotic and crafted items are so easily made?

well it must be the ambient occulsion cause i play all day with no hiccups, thx all for your help.

sorry fracture havent a clue what your issue is.

ye i had AO on; now its off i’ll update you if i get the problem again.

performance is great 60fps most places
I have maxxed everything apart from native sampling,
AA and i put post processing to low.

Thanks for all your input.

terrain being shown over terrain, it makes playing somewhat trippy.
