Guild Wars 2

Veteran GW2 player looking for a PVE NA guild that raids on Monday and Thursday. Those days are my main free time for raids. In-game name is Shamrocky or can respond here. I play Ele, Rev, Gaurd, and War. Thanks!

Sub zero too powerful!

I haven’t played the new dungeon yet, so what is the reward they have for doing the dungeon? Any cool new gear that drops or that you can earn?

Not entirely true because the Super Adventure Box sets a precedent that they could do it right.

You should get tokens from the new dungeon and buy the weapons with those tokens. The way they did the Super Adventure box was perfect. I had satisfaction in working for the tokens, it wasn’t just RNG, and it wasn’t some boring grinding achievements like the dragon bash wings.

Try shift-click so you get them all in one line. Doing ctrl-click is pretty cumbersome.

So when can we see new permanent dungeons being added to the game that have all new sets of armor and weapons that we can grind for? I really want some new pve in the game that is worth my time.

The molten alliance dungeon was pretty good and the southsun cove one boss thing was a joke. All of the new dragon bash things to do are very lame and all the achievements are just boring grinding.

I want real content added to the game, not events that I don’t care about.

Just transferred to FC from JQ and so far I am having a lot of fun. I am actually able to get some good pvp instead of massive zergs.

They probably saw the pvp numbers go down because of the increased difficulty in the pvp daily. I was doing the easy pvp daily before the change but with the increased difficulty it felt more like a chore to get it done so I stopped doing them. I like that they changed it back to the easier pvp daily.

With the new AC, your experience will vary with each group.

I’ve done all the path of the new AC with pugs and my guild group a few times. They pretty much just buffed the spider boss and the trash in the dungeon. The end bosses are all pretty much easier now, except for p2 boss tending to be a bit buggy.

Gearing up alts defiantly depletes your token build up. I was playing one character for awhile, then I leveled up a couple alts and spent all the tokens pretty easily gearing them up.

I think it is way too late for them to add lodestones for tokens, but you can still dream though if it makes you feel better.

Why so anxious to leave the group? You should just of waited for the door on the bottom right of the screen to appear.

It is weird to have someone watch the cut scene and your waiting for the tokens to appear. I often think for a second that it is bugged because I didn’t get my tokens yet.

hmm, 36 achievement points… What is the cheapest drink you can buy?

That sounds awesome! When everyone can see how they stack against other players it will be rather fun.

Also, I’m rank 342 in achievements!

Getting a lot of achievement points just requires you to do multiple aspects of the game. If you do everything in the game you will have a lot more points then someone who pigeon holds themselves to one area of the game. You gotta do open world pve, dungeons, sPvP, WvW, jumping puzzles, crafting, etc… Those don’t require legendaries, high amounts of gold, or high pvp titles.

“For issues related to display, guild, or pet names, the Support Team will change the name or will designate the appropriate action to be taken on the part of the player to amend the unacceptable name.”

It says right in the Guild Wars 2 Naming Policy that a guild name can be changed. It is quite ridiculous to just delete the whole guild. It’s a good thing we don’t use the guild bank, but gold was wasted on buying influence the day before deletion.

I actually expect nothing productive to happen with this thread because every game I’ve played has bad customer service and is no help.

My guild was deleted today with no message or warning, after about 4 months of having the guild with no issues. The guild name is Hands of My Octopus, with the tag [Homö]. I can see how there could be a problem with the tag, but not having a chance to just change the tag before deletion is very rude.

We had a reputation built up in WvW as a good havoc squad and quite a bit of influence and upgrades. Having to start again from scratch is unacceptable. Can you please revert the guild deletion?

My favorite long fight was defending garrison in an enemy borderland with both of the other servers attacking. It was a crazy 3 way fight that lasted a couple hours.

I finally finished Frostfang a couple days ago, but since I don’t really play my ranger anymore and have only used my warrior for farming dungeons, I think I might try to trade it for The Juggernaut for my guardian.

Check out www.gw2lfg.com to find a group.

When I first started doing dungeons I watched every cutscene once. If I have already seen the cutscene I will skip it. For some reason none of my guild mates wanted to watch the cutscenes so I was kind of a troll to them which made it fun to make them wait

The only time I see groups looking for only warriors are group doing CoF path 1 farming. For everything else, a guardian should always be a welcome addition.

Any exploit that’s a “Jumping Puzzle” and doesn’t specifically bug out is legit in my books. As such I consider the mountain jump in CM legit. Skipping the fire in AC is legit. Standing on top of the ruin so Howling King in AC doesn’t hit you is an exploit.

Legit in your books isn’t legit in ours. The mountain jumping is an exploit since we don’t intend for you to be able to go up there, and it allows you to skip through the natural progression of content we made.
The drakeheads in AC were intentionally made with a cute little workaround, if that’s the other you are implying is okay. I hope that is the issue you are talking about at least, since there isn’t a whole lot of fire in AC.

Its hard to believe that people think the CM mountain jumping was legit. Seems pretty obvious to be an exploit. I wonder if people think the COE 3 in 1 exploit is legit as well. Jumping through walls is a big no no.

Defiantly 20% gold from monsters. You can already get major boosts to Magic Find and Karma gain, but there very few ways to get gold boosts. The utility plus omnom bars will be awesome.

Everyone should just run fraps when doing dungeons so we can all see what is happening and perhaps why the kick happens

In the say channel simply type “LFG”. You will get a group very quickly. There is no responsibility tied to that group Leave when you want, do what you want. Is that so hard?

I’m not truly convinced of the need for a group to get drops, but since its so easy you might as well join a group when farming.

Just 1 for me. Getting close to making Frostfang. I have the clovers and Gift of Mastery done, that parts that require you to play the game. Now I just need the other parts that require gold and farming gold just isn’t very fun.

My grp met an elementalist which resetted the champion at dredge when he is at 50% hp and stood outside afking with no notice at all. The boss just keep running to the elementalist and resetting at the door.
Now tell me, what to do? Just wait it out? Redo the fractal? Fair to the 4 others in the group? Although it could be true that some groups might do that but i have pug to lvl 49 fotm with not a single episode.
The only time a person is kicked is due to his mouth or trying to leech his way up the levels. Imagine someone tells u he have 30 AR and dies at lvl 28 jade maw agony.
I urge the community to be objective rather than passing judgement abruptly.
Bear in mind, everyone will say they play good or did ok. Human nature would be that no one will admit they are bad.

Well if it takes more people to kick someone from a group there would be no problem for you since the 4 other players can vote to kick. The problem isn’t the ability to kick, but that it only takes 2 to kick.

Got my warrior all geared up. Have red to match the greatsword and wintergreen for the hammer.

Anyone know if the Quaggan backpack will be a limited time or permanent item in the gem store?

That is a great idea. I hope the kicking is addressed soon in the upcoming patches. So far I haven’t been kicked at the end of the dungeon, but only in the first parts of the dungeons for not doing an exploit like the rest of the group. Quite annoying!

We’ve counted the number of players present in each WvW maps, and it turns out to be 70 persons per server per map.

This is much much lower than it was before the patch.

Question:
Has the capacity of the WvW maps been reduced on purpose, or is it due to a bug ?

Please, try to solve this issue as soon as possible, as more and more people (guildies, allies, friends, etc…) just stop playing the game just because of this problem.

How does a player acuratly count the amount of players on the map? There can be lots of random people running around the map.

I’ve had some great fun fighting people at the entrance of the EB jp. It can be a good place to fight without worries about taking objectives.

The strategy is to bring a good guardian that will use stand your ground and aegis everytime and the rest of the team will have it easymode

I like the 10x recipe. Less clicking to do.

The Evolved Destroyer boss in CoE just takes practice to master. Once the group know how to get in and out in time for that boss he is cake. The easiest CoE path just got easier.

Explorable—Magg’s Chain: The event to defend Magg while he plants a bomb has been rebuilt.

Try it out first.

Or they’ve killed the same boss a million times and just want to afk auto-attack and go make a sandwich? People are going to take the path of least resistance, it’s human nature.

Being bored of running the dungeon is not excuse to exploit. If your not having fun playing the video game then perhaps do something else that is fun.

For some reason there is no warning popup when buying dungeon armor, but there is a warning popup for buying dungeon weapons. Perhaps a bug??

Khisanth.2948:

You should see how kicking someone from a guild is handled …

How is that handled?

Also, it is quite ridiculous that you only need 2 people to kick someone from the group and they are instantly removed from the dungeon. Seems like an over sight in the design with the designers not expecting how rude some people can be.

The other day I was running a Sorrows Embrace path 3 and I had forgotten how exploitable that path is. They kicked me real quick after the first boss for not standing on top of the wheel where the boss can’t attack you and saying it was a terrain exploit.

I want to do a run with only level 2 characters. I think it would be pretty fun.

I would also like to be able to spread out my stats in sPvP like you can in pve/WvW. The stat combinations are very limiting in sPvP and I think could be a hindrance for people coming from pve or wvw into spvp to get used to. All your stats coming from 1 item and the jewel doesn’t make a balanced character.

I like how offended you guys are that I said they should remove stealth. But, back to the subject of Sky Kits… The only time I think that stealth would be necessary would be the really high levels of fractals. If the mobs at those levels are really that though that you can’t beat them without using Spy Kits or even resurrection orbs, then the content isn’t balanced in my opinion. These items aren’t exploits, but oversights in the game design.

For the love of good game design, remove Spy Kits from the game! Its a crutch for bad players. If you absolutely need stealth to beat a dungeon there is something wrong there.

So lets remove thief and mesmer abilty to go stealth too whilst we at it? and any ability or aid that makes any dungeon easy/faster? i like your thinking.

I’m totally fine with removing stealth from the game too. I think it was poorly implemented. Using stealth to bypass parts of a dungeon or in pvp fighting a thief that disappears half of the fight is not fun or good game design.

When I do pug runs of this I always say that we should at least kill the first few waves. That then leads to us actually fighting the mobs the whole time and not just dying the whole time. The dps is usually not very strong in pugs to keep up with the spawns but we will be able to live, fight them, and not just run around and die. It is way more fun to do the fighting way then running way.

Or better yet, be consistent with the way you get weapon skins from other dungeons and allow players to straight purchase them with the fractal tokens. There is no reason why these skins should only come from 20+ fractals by RNG. Be consistent with the number of tokens like with the other dungeons as well and be able to buy an exotic fractal weapon, not just a skin.

Its like the people who designed the rewards system for fractals are not the same people who did it for the other dungeons.

Underwater combat isn’t that bad, but not being able to stomp underwater is really annoying. If they do something about that it has potential.

I’d rather that they make sPvP more Fun then worry about any eSports. More game modes, less stealth rubbish, and being able to spread out your stats more. Having 1 item makes your character unbalanced.

I want to play the Halloween and Christmas pvp modes again. Those were pretty fun to play.

You will have to just wait and see…
