Guild Wars 2

Would it be too much to ask if this old school nightfall login theme could be the login music for path of fire? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTZjRXm-5dU

And to keep the crystal desert theme below in rotation when in the deserts?

Super excited for this expansion!

I just wanted to know if it was something on my end.

So why is it that you only hear it sometimes now? I remember several patches ago you always heard the mesmer do the chant when they cast it. Like for example mantra of resolve my mesmer used to always say “unbroken, unshaken, resolve.”

Well after reading this threat i decided to give up on my legendary but on a weird whim i decided to buy 4 lvl 75 exotic swords off the TP about 2-3 gold each and mystic them and what do you know? on my very first try i got the zap lol

Well my triggered when i logged on but the issue is the weapons and skins i was wearing on my PvP chars are gone, they’re replaced by pve gear they had on.

Tried that, still no items.

Anyone figure this out?

I had two one on my mesmer and the other on my guardian. I log onto the mist to check out my unlocks and my hard earned weapons are now replaced by my crappy PvE gear? I checked the wardrobe and they’re not in there either. Is this some huge over-sight? Bug? Did your pvp gear have to first be in your pvp locker for them to go to your new wardrobe? Because that’s silly people tend to put on their best gear they don’t place it in their locker.

I would love to see some kind of surreal setting. I’ve always loved Dali’s stuff. Of course it can’t be too outlandish but a little bit of surrealism can be really immersive.

Underwater is so cool but yeah the combat isn’t very fun and i believe that has to do with the underwater skills themselves. They need to be changed somehow.

That statue on the right looks like Beyonce no?

It just needs to generate life force imo. Axe honestly discourages DS. Sure axe 3 gives you some but its so easy to dodge and if it goes on cool down, unless you’ve got a focus in hand you’ve got no life force generation on your 1-5 skills.

Necro in Velcro

GW2 has some awesome music in it… So much so that i find myself listening to it outside the game. Currently this is my favorite tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NCKeuTV2NQ when i first heard I went to the nearest vista to cycle through the music to get to it again.

ele was never hard for me that might have been because i mastered that class in pvp and then started doing pve with it. My one and only lvl 80 char is an ele. Mesmers on the other hand though is something else. So freaking squishy.

I spend most of my time pvping the only reason i left was because of my guildless status and spvp can get boring after a while. (but it certain becomes fun all over again when you learn to play a new profession.) So far i can play mesmer(my first) ele and now necro so much fun.

and i’m falling in love with this game all over again. The achievements, balance changes that make new types of builds viable I love it. This living world system is awesome achievements always have you coming back for more. Anyone else?

hahaha some of you are so melodramatic. I’m sure the devs love necro just as much as they love their other classes. Lets give them time shesh

So i started playing necro couple of weeks ago. I first learned how to play mesmer then ele and now i’m on necro. I find necro to be the most fun so far but whenever i fight a mesmer, if i’m not like 10x better than the guy, it feels like its heavily tilted towards mesmers in a 1on1 fight. Any suggestions for a power necro?

I started out as an alpha tester for guildwars 1. I fell in love with the pvp in that game did it extensively with my old alpha guild fianna. When it was released i played it quite a bit didn’t care for the PvE all that much but we were required to do some PvE. Anywho as all good things do it came to an end. For me GW2 is on another level both pvp and pve leagues above gw1. Sure there aren’t as many skills as gw1 but honestly a lot of the skills in that game felt redundant. There’s plenty of room to grow in gw2 as good as this game is now i can’t even imagine how good it’ll get in the future.

Thieves are actually a lot easier to deal with. Most backstab thief damage is front loaded so the trick is to survive the first burst and heal back up. They usually open up with venom+steal all you gotta do is hit your condition removal or teleport when you get hit once. Then heal back up and do your combo. Every time you get immobilzed do whatever it takes to get out of it.

I wish we had some answers, i hate having a goal to reach but not knowing exactly how to achieve it!

I’ve done a google search but i can’t find any answers, anyone here know?

I don’t know about blowing your AOE’s on illusions… I mean the mesmers can summon illusions constantly without respite chances are your big AOEs have high CDs and you need them to hit the mesmer with not the clones which he can constantly generate. Also, its almost impossible to tell when hes hit one of his shatters if he summons clones while mesmer is holding a sword because sword wielding illusions will charge at you anyway to hit you with skill 1. You just have to get better at spotting the real mesmer and DPS him down before he DPS you. Easier said then done of course but you’ll learn to escape the full brunt of his burst by being faster than his clones and by that i mean dodge as soon as you get hit by a shatter, use your get out of jail card if he immobilizes you with iLeap and teleports to you because chances are hes going to blurry frenzy+f1 shatter which is usually his main way of bursting. I know i said its hard to tell when he sets off his shatters but chances are if he does set it off all the clones won’t explode at once. So as soon as you get hit by 1 clone dodge in the direction that the clones are coming at you from.

I’m honestly trying to like dungeons but one thing really irks me and ultimately leaves me extremely bored to death… MOSTER’S HP it makes everything so tedious! I don’t mind monsters doing lots of damage i think that adds a certain bit of thrill and challenge dodging a powerful blow and responding in kind what bothers me most about monsters in dungeons is their insanely high HP. You sit there wacking a monster for what feels like an eternity. Its so mind numbing drags a fight you’re obviously going to win longer than it has to. You just go through the motions over and over and over sloooowly draining its health to zero.

Is it me or are there 2 types of knock downs? Ones that if your character does a flip through the air will keep him knocked down for what feels like an eternity and the other where they get knocked down on their back they get up from relatively quickly. Someone please explain it to me.

I noticed this when dueling my friend for the past 2-3 hours his engineer with all his CC and super knockdowns is unbelievably hard to beat as a d/d elementalist (i was only able to win if i played absolutely flawlessly and he didn’t drop his elite) and probably impossible as a warrior, guardian and perhaps thief.

I find it extremely addictive too. I get a huge thrill out of going on a killing streak or winning those random 1v1 encounters.
