Guild Wars 2

I demand an explanation on the misuse maces have received!

nobody else agrees? i’m the only mace user i guess.

Where’s the damn love for maces Anet, WHERE????

I’d have to have a specific example of the story step that you saw this on. In cases where a step is farmable we turn off loot/xp so you can’t kill the critters, quit, and play again over and over.

Off topic, but your last name is the last name of every character I make in mmos XD

The most annoying this in this fight for me is the massive health pool and the healing, we interrupt but it doesn’t always work. Bombs aren’t a prob for me as reflect works on them and does quite a bit of damage reflecting them back on him. Last time we ran it with 3 guardians, i told the other 2 to use wall of reflection, like 1 person got downed to bombs.

Ugh, i got it done three times, but no precursor for me, hate that some people even got MORE THAN ONE! I just want my chosen, but he got more than enough to sell those and buy the chosen and have a ton of money left over to put a dent in crafting that legendary. I am so sick to my stomach, RNG rewards really needs to go away in all games imo. Work towards things with marks or something. Ugh…

Umm… shouldn’t you just be glad you got to loot the chest 3 times? I, among others, spent hours in different overflows, and I didn’t even get a chest once.

Yeah, but i would give up all my rewards for the chosen and that dent in legendary creation. Doesn’t mean the RNG is good.

All my exotics (2 pieces), were level 78.

Then you weren’t lvl 80 yourself I guess? So far I’ve only seen lower lvls getting loot under lvl 80 from the chest.

ran it with 2 80s both got 2 78 exotics, so he probably was, and yeah, i feel ripped off. 20 slots though!

Kindadrunk.4675:

Ok well is there anyway to get the shell accessory that dropped from event?

There was a vendor that you could buy it for 1000 karka shells but that seemed to disappear with the event. Which makes no sense…

I am so jealous right now, been trying to get it since launch, and ran two 80s through and got nothing but lower than 80 exotics for some reason.

Looking for an invite to a working phase as well!

It’s been happening ever since the halloween update for me

Same here, never had it before, but ever since the halloween update

Just got it again, finally wrote down the error code, I never had this happen until a month ago and this last week it’s like every 2 hours! this is pissing me off

11:1000:7006:861:101 that’s the error code it says.

Can we please get a statement on why this is happening?

And due to ANET’s shoddy something i keep getting this stupid kick me out of the game saying I have an incorrect password WHEN I’M IN GAME THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! I got dc’d halfway through, not even to MY connection but the game saying i had an incorrect password when i’m in game and my password was kitten fine when i logged in. I’m am so upset right now.

The problem is, you added an INCENTIVE for a player to make your team worse, why make it worse for PUGS we know they are worse than premades already but you made it even more worse. And without an inspect how are we to know when even a premade group might have someone thinking “Oh Anet made this easy for me to be greedy and just go magic find, my team will just think i’m in a squishy build, they can’t see my damage or my gear!”

Robert Hrouda.1327:

People using MF gear can be a hindrance to a party if the player isn’t very skilled. PUGing always come with dangers – but I find the most dangerous thing is a glass cannon stat allocation combined with berserker gear. Great for damage, but if a dungeon Vet sneezes on you, you’re gonna have a bad time.

Personally, I run with a mixed stat set for dungeons. I have about 15% MF without consumables, and spread the rest through a mix of toughness, power, and crit chance. I pretty much remove my +crit% in favor for MF%. I play a very mobile ranger as well, and know the mechanics of combat pretty well, so more often than not I am carrying a team of PUGs, or even my friends.

The truth of the matter is that even glass cannon builds can be possible in the hands of a highly skilled players who know exactly what to do. It all boils down to the player skill and their knowledge of the challenge at hand.

My personal approach to stats and skills are based around utility and an even spread. Min-maxing has it’s potential, but I’ve come to the conclusion that I am no help to my team lying dead on the ground, and team-play is more important than personal output, so as long as I can be up helping my team, I am valuable.

I switched to a guardian main after leveling an 80 ele, I now have an 80 guardian with comparable gear and I DO WAY WAY WAY MORE DAMAGE with less button presses and less anxiety playing and am way less squishy, our guild mate who also had an 80 ele went warrior and he is saying the exact same thing. Really as squishy as ele’s are they really should have a damage buff more than anything.

Personally this is what I think they should do to ele’s. I say let you pick 2 elements to main at a time and add weapon switching to ele’s and buff each element so they all do comparable damage and rebalance traits around that. Let people have a chance to change their main elements when retraiting.

I have been getting this CONSTANTLY since the last patch, it’s driving me insane
