I had used tomes of knowledge to level my ranger up to 80. When I got level 80 I noticed I had nearly no hero points. At first I thought it was an effect of the June 23rd patch and thought I would have to do map completion. I ultimately needed 397 more hero points to finish my traits and utilities. My friend told me he had tomed his thief to 80 after the June 23rd patch, and it received all of its traits and utilities. I quickly realized that there were only 213 hero points, not including the one in the home instances, over the entirety of the map. Even if i did the entirety of map completion for every single hero point. I would end up with 2/3 of a ranger.
“With the Hero points gained only from leveling a character to level 80 it is possible to unlock all core skills and traits entirely.” -Gw2wiki
I had sent an in game ticket asking them about this nearly a work week ago. I then decided to follow it up with a ticket on the gw2 website to get a more responsive approach. The GM that replied to my message, understandably, told me he essentially did not have the ability to fix my ranger. That I would need to send an in game ticket so that they could get more accurate information to better help me.
I understand anet is busy with the HOT expansion. But this has rendered my ranger completely unplayable outside of pvp.
Nearing 3k hours on my ele alone. I watched the video a few times and noticed nearly every trait he is running.
My frame of reference is the second video.
1)Earth
-Elemental shielding(he gains more protection when a fire or frost aura is applied 2:18.)
-Could be any of them (I’m inclined to think Geomancer’s training.)
-Diamond skin is very obvious.
2)Water
-Soothing ice (random frost aura even though he does not have an off hand dagger2:22.)
-Cleansing wave (removed conditions without using any utility 2:22.)
-Either cleansing water or soothing power.(I suspect soothing power. As you would not need conditions cleanse nearly as often with diamond skin, cleansing wave and focus. Which would account for a large portion of healing. Which with a hp armor set is essentially a second healing signet.)
3)Arcana definitely (He/she is not running blinding ashes as you were not blinded any of the times you directly took burning damage)
-Elemental contingency (Gaining retaliation without blasting in fields. Which is unavailable to elementalist otherwise 1:54.)
-Renewing stamina
-Bountiful power (Is not elemental surge as they did not use any arcana. Is not evasive arcana as they did not get any effects after dodging)
4)Healing signet, earth signet, air signet, armor of earth
Assuming he is in full nomads. With active and passive traits and skills, superior sigil of momentum, wvw buffs, and boons. He is sustaining at bare minimum 3500 toughness. With actives its breaking well over 4k with protection and a lot of weakness to boot.
Along with traits like Stone Flesh, Geomancer’s Defence, Soothing Mist, Healing Ripple, Aquatic Benevolence, and Elemental Attunement as minors. Assuming your party members are in any gear but pure offensive. And throwing hard invulnerabilties ontop of it all. It’s not hard to see how this is possible.
Ultimately I saw absolutely zero signs of hacking but rather a specialized build.
I do not think he was telling you his build. He just gave you the gw2 conquest meta to shrug you off.
I logged in shortly before the “new build” update showed up.
I was running to rata sum so that i could log back into the new event. I was going through the lions arch portal to rata sum and as soon as i touched the gate the game crashed. I then loaded it back up.
(I presume this was the game updating)
I then reopened the game client and it downloaded some updates (i presume) and then i clicked play.
The screen opened up to a white blank screen then nothing. I was then prompted to send a report error to anet support.
I’m curious if this is a problem or if this is simply something to do with the update.
i also had the thought that maybe whats happened is maybe the gods just got recarnated or awoke as the dragons (5 gods not including Kormir ,whos kinda new to the game, and 5 dragons that we know of so far). In gw1 we dont realy see any of them (other than Kormir) only statues and avatars of them, so them being the dragons doesnt seem like to much of a long stretch.
another thought i had was maybe the reason they locked abbadon away instead of killing him was that all of them where linked and with killing abbadon, we killed or weakened the other gods greatly and Kormir is off somewhere maybe holding another elder dragon at bay or something.
without answers straight from the dev’s theres not telling what they’ll do or say happened to them, if they ever tell us at all.
That’s a interesting theory although i wouldn’t say the word “reincarnated.”
But it’d make for a compelling story,
Now let’s recap the parts of history you omitted, shall we?
You’re forgetting that our characters had the blessing of the gods (no mechanical benefit that we could see, but the mission assumed you had it – it’s possible Abaddon could have insta-killed us without it). Abaddon was still in a weakened state bound by chains forged by Balthazar, without which we would have had no chance to defeat him – after all, half of that mission is about putting the chains back on him so that he’s actually vulnerable to damage.
We didn’t take Abaddon alone any more than we took Zhaitan on alone (in fact, given how Arah story is set up, it’s really the Glory of Tyria that defeated Zhaitan – we just happened to be in the right time and place to be taken on board and serve as the security detachment). Comparing the two missions is not a good yardstick of their relative power.
Finally someone putting up lore rather then complete speculation.
@Maximillian Greil.1965
This is simply wrong.
The gods did not leave because they are afraid of the dragons.
The human gods left Tyria because Abbadon distributed magic to the world. Which lead to a bloody war between all races.
A human king went to old Orr and pleaded to the other five gods to stop the wartime. So the gods created bloodstones to hinder the use of magic, which made Abbadon spiteful, and ultimately lead to a civil war between Abaddon and the other five gods.
Shortly after Abbadon’s imprisonment the gods decided to leave Tyria. With the belief that their direct association with humanity, either with good intentions or bad, would only have serious repercussions.
So they left in the time known as the “Exodus of the gods.” Believing that humanity was strong enough to flourish on its own.
Although they are keeping a watchful eye on the world
I did a mix of human cultural, winged, and masquerade.
It’s not simply if there is a single set of good looking gear. (If you have the transmutation stones.) Don’t be afraid to experiment with more then one set of armor.
