Guild Wars 2

Hey! So I’ve been thinking about the decay system and one thing just kept bugging me. Since you can recover all your lost rating points by playing few games, can’t you just exploit this by letting yourself plummet to lower divisions where rating points are much easier and faster to obtain and essentially climb the ladder after you recover your decay points? I’d love to hear from you guys!

As someone who loves using a rifle I must say I am displeased with the state of the weapon right now. They removed all the traits that made it better and left only one for the reduced recharge. The faster attacking is absolute garbage, it does nothing for you at all. Also they promised the range would be 1200 baseline but now we don’t even have a trait for that. But honestly I will mostly miss Rifle Mod and the 10% more damage it gave. They butchered the rifle.
And the core specializations are awful too. Not all of them but Tools and Explosives come to mind. Explosives have terrible, terrible first choice of traits (I mean come on. Fall Damage trait, bugged trait for grenades and 5% more damge while above 90% health?! Is this a joke? Who thought of that? Seriously, Glass Cannon is the worst trait ever) and Tools have been nerfed so hard (you are now forced to choose between Power Wrench and Static Discharge, two critical traits for SD build.)

I really don’t know about the baseline “bugs” because they weren’t even mentioned in the latest stream prior to the patch. But not having ANYTHING out of those seems a bit suspicious too. I just wish a dev showed up and clarified that. -sigh-

I’m free, though I can’t join any new match, the text at the top of the screen says “Match in progress”.

Hey, I’m stuck too. If you wouldn’t mind, can you clear me up? Thanks!

Hey! Thanks for all the hard work catagorizing the bugs. However there seems to be a tiny mistake in your list. I don’t think that Rifle Mod was ever mentioned to be baseline (as much as I would love that, being a keen rifle engi.)

Hey! I know it’s not really Mortar Kit related, but seeing you Josh active in this thread, I decided to ask my question here. During the initial livestream you said that Rifled Barrels (longer range for rifles) will be a baseline from now on. However we haven’t heard anything about it on Monday and I couldn’t find it in the notes either. Could we get a clarification on that please? Thanks!

Actually, the only RNG thing in the process of making the Ambrite weapons (finding a fossil) is not tied to the population of the map. If you really want the skin you can buy the recipe for the weapon now while there are still T4/5 Dry Tops and then spend whatever time you want trying to find a fossil.

Hey guys, I’ve got basically two questions. First, where’s Zojja? When I visit Snaff’s Lab with my Asura, whose PS is completeted, she’s not there. There’s only her golem, that says that she’s somewhere out. But I visited that same place with my other character (sylvari, without PS completed) and Zojja was there, even though she hasn’t got any dialog. So I wonder, why is that? Is that the same with every race, that the main protagonist disappears after Personal Story? Or is it something else?

Anyway, my second question. I’ve noticed that both sylvari and norn has someone to talk to about Scarlet’s death (Pale Tree and a smith, I can’t remember his name). I haven’t checked the other races, but I tried to find an Asura to talk about it. But the closest I could get is talking to some Councillor about Scarlet’s studies. So, my second question is, is there any Asura that talks directly about Scarlet’s death? Or is that Councillor an equivalent of Pale Tree and the norn smith?

Thanks!

Hey! I don? know if it is bug, but I can’t complete the LS objectives. The last order is to
“Evacuate Lion’s Arch citizens.”, but even though I did the Lion’s Arch event multiple times, I can’t progress. Is this the way it’s supposed to be or do I have some kind of bug? Thanks!
