I use it all the time. I haven’t had account problems. Entire guild has used it too, no reported issues.

It makes use of released API for GW2, so pretty sure its “legal” to use.

I use rampager’s gear over rabid gear. I’ve been thinking of switching to rabid too, but i don’t know how much better rabid is to rampagers or vice versa. having more condition damage would be nice, but it’s only a little more compared to rampagers and i’d have less crit chance to boot. with rampagers I also have the power for when I can’t always be in perfect position for the bleed from shortbow.

Leaked Notes: 900 range shortbow

in Ranger

Posted by: ShinraGuardian.8053

ShinraGuardian.8053

please edit your post to include the fact that if these notes are real, the SB received flat damage upgrades to compensate. The LB also received a lot of love. The sky is not falling

This is so stupid. All of the shortbow’s DPS is on the autoattack. You could increase the damage of the other abilities by 40% and it would still be a DPS loss over just using the autoattack.

What love did the longbow receive besides projectile speed? You’ll still be dead as soon as someone gets close to you.

I might be missing something, but as far as I can see in the notes, all that is changing with crossfire is its range. Crossfire doesn’t depend on its range to deal damage, so… why is it going to do less damage?

These are all the NPC’s on the platform. I count 8 plus a generic Lionguard who only has a “greet” F-key option.

I’m gunna have him go through and talk to them all again but he’s done it a few times now, if it was gunna work it should have already worked by now.

Theo Ashford is dead. I’m not sure how you’ll complete the achievement, actually! This is a great question.

There were 9 members there at the beginning. Make sure he talks to Magnus, as well.

And Theo was one of the nine, there is still nine, but Theo’s spot is replaced by a lionsguard member

Is the lionguard member he is supposed to talk to on the platform the Magnus is on? because he has talked to every NPC on that platform, along with Inspector Keil and the Moa/dragonball NPC’s and hasn’t gotten it.

Hi,

My friend recently started playing and I’ve been helping him with dragon bash achievements, but when he went to talk to all the captains, hes missing one of them.

I checked the wiki and it said to talk to the lion guard on the platform if they are not there, and he did but still hasn’t gotten the achievement. Does anyone know what he could be missing? or is it bugged?

Thanks

EDIT If you are also having problems, check this guy near the Asura gates to other towns in LA. It worked for him, maybe it’ll work for you.

Does Your Class/Role Reflect Your Personality

Usually in games I like playing support characters. In Gw2 this is hard so I just play elementalist so I can do a lot of damage while also supporting the team.

In other games with dedicated healers I like to be a healer because I can then choose if the jerks in the group live or die because nobody screws with the white mage.

Viable farming alternatives to CoF P1?

Fractals are good I suppose. Lots of Heavy item bags, lots of level 80+ assorted mob types so you get pretty much all types of materials.

You could do CoE too, but thats harder to find a group for.

How can you farm UB Fractal? I didn’t think mobs respawned in there.

Movement Delay/Lag Fixes?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: ShinraGuardian.8053

ShinraGuardian.8053

Anyone else have problems when logging in that the first movement command you give gets “stuck” so you keep moving forward/in circles and if you try and press other movement keys after a while it stops and then does what you wanted it to do? This happens to me every now and then but its a new thing, I’ve never experienced it before.

If you know about this and might have a solution, I;d love to hear it even if it might not work. Anything is worth a try.

Swearing in game...

in Suggestions

Posted by: ShinraGuardian.8053

ShinraGuardian.8053

As far as I know they just don’t want swearing in public chat channels.

Guild chat is mainly moderated by the guilds themselves, if they allow swearing in guild chat (as my guild does) then nothing can be done about it and if you don’t like it just find another guild.

I would assume party chat would go by the same rules in a way. It’s moderated by the players within it. If they do/n’t allow swearing you either conform to the group or leave and find another.

There is nothing that inherently makes a Mesmer better than an elementalist, it all comes down to their build and play style and what they’re going up against.

Each class trait changes Confirmed

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ShinraGuardian.8053

ShinraGuardian.8053

This is a bad idea.

Not all traits need to be changed. Many of them are quite fine as they are. Even some of those considered “bad” by most players, such as flat 10% increases, do have their places among traits.

Changing ALL traits feels like a knee-jerk reaction to the way some traits are bad. This won’t lead to a fix – making so many big changes will take a very long time, and ArenaNet will need even longer to balance everything after those changes have been first implemented.

Instead of changing everything, they should focus on changing the really bad and the bad traits, leaving everything else as it is today.

To be honest, even if all current traits don’t need adjustments, you don’t know what they are changing. If they change some traits, they could make others that are fine pointless to use or may make new mandatory pairs of traits due to how good the combo becomes.

Unsoulbound item.

did you forget about the magical thing called account bound? he’s asking for the soulbound items to be account bound so you can transfer it between characters, you still can’t sell any bound items in the TP

Actually if you read his second post he isn’t asking for soulbound → account bound at all.

I want this item to unsoulbound my current legendary weapon, sell and buy another for alt.

Unbind legendary → sell → buy different legendary for different character is what he wants.

I don’t know who Dontain is, but I’m guessing he’s a Youtuber/TwitchTVer who sent his minions to the four corners of the internet to promote his channel(s). Whoever he is, we don’t need three topics a day telling us what to think about Guild Wars. Most of us, I’m sure, can make up our own minds on the subject. Thanks.

Anyone can make up their minds. Only the ones who know the facts and both sides of the story can make informed opinions and actually make a change for the better.

Facts? So everything in that video is factually correct? There’s no baseless speculation contained within? The facts presented aren’t slanted by the author’s subjective opinions?

When one person says something, it is an opinion. When hundreds of people are saying it, it may still be an opinion but that means more people acknowledge it as a problem, no?
