Guild Wars 2

Holy moly guacamole! I can’t believe the devs have nothing to say about this. This is simply amazing work! I mean, sure, the art could be improved, but the theory and the “why I think we need this, and why I did that” are surely pro-work. 9/10. It improves everything.

Thanks for the help guys!

Hello guys! After some months PUGing around, doing dungeons and stuff, I decided I wanted some new challenge, something that could be called dificult. So, a week ago me and a friend decided it was time to improve our playing skills, and solo the s**t out of those dungeons.

We tried some times, and, of course, failed hard, to solo Arah P2. The second thing we did (and now we realise, should have been the first) was watching some solo/duo videos on youtube. It sure helped a lot! Goku Kr is awesome, and we can now get to Lupicus without dying now!

The problem is, we’re still not good enough to solo the entire path (I’m using the plural, but we do one instance each), so I decided to come here and ask you guys for some tips!

First of all, judge my build! I`m running a berserker warrior 6\5\0\0\3 (II, IX, XI)(I, V)(VI), with GS, 2 Swords, 1 Wh, 1 Axe and 1 Longbow, exotic weapons and armor, but I`m not sure wich runes and sigils I should have. Right now I’m using 1 Bloodlust for each weapon set, and Sigils of Force filling the blanks, and Rubys on the armor (cause I couldn’t decide).
My consumables are Potent Potion of Undead Slaying, Candied Dragon Roll, Hylek poison and Harpy Feathers.

Now, for some obvious reasons, I’ll not just ask you guys to tell me how you solo. Instead, I’ll post here a video of Goku Kr soloing P2, and I’ll ask you guys questions about it.

1) On min 1:00, he starts the boss and run back to the bone wall. The wall then is destroyed and he runs back in. I understand you can do this to get out of combat without reseting the fight, but why do it when she’s full?
2) When the abom is about to turn red (as seen @6:30), she stomps the groun and knocks you down. Can you dodge this? Because I still can’t get that timing.
3) How can you tell the Lupicus is about to kick? the pre-animation is so subtle and quick, I always die there.
4) Kite swarms, or just stand and cleave?
5) Defend the panel from Elite, or just DPS the boss at the final?

Any other tips not related to my build or the questions would also be highly apreciated. Thanks for your time, guys! You’re all awesome

On the update notes for the Feature Pack, under the SPvP changes, on “Reward Tracks”, the following can be seen:
“Magic Find does affect the rewards you get from the loot boxes”
While the wiki says about Magic Find:
" It does not affect containers, chests, or any other source of loot."

Does the feature pack “change” apply for all non-PvP boxes and chests as well, or is it strictly for the PvP Reward Tracks?

Yeah good idea. It could be similar to the EVE Online marketplace. I’ve always missed that one in other MMOs.

I’ve never played EVE online, but this would really be very usefull.

Well, it’s a quite simple suggestion that may improve a lot the way players see the game economy.
The idea is: When a player oppens the Trading Post, select to search for an especific item and clics on it, on the new tab of buying from the lowest seller or placing an order would be an chart, just like the one on the “Currency Exchange” tab, that tells the players the last 24h prices of that item (selecting “Buy instantly” would show the lowest sellers, and “Place an order” would show the buyers prices). Take a look on the img attached.
Why? There are a lot of reasons for this, but the most important is: people will know how the economy diverge on their servers according to the time of the day. For example, let’s say that at 3o’clock there are tons of europeans online, and their economy is slightly better than american’s (continent), so the prices are diferent that time of the day, this way you know when you’ll need to log in for better prices.
People is already doing this. I have a group of friends who decided to write down the prices according to daytime, so every half an our, one of them (3) log on and take note about the most profitable items. It’s market strategy, and should be avaliable for all.
I know that, on the beggining, people will overuse it, making it hard to tell exactly when the prices will be good, but given some time, things will settle down once again.
Please, leave comments. This is not a full-finished suggestion, and can (and will) be improved if the comunity thinks it’s a good idea.
