Guild Wars 2

For those who bought them already, I’m trying to understand the difference between Simple and Versatile infusions. Why would it be both for defensive and offensive slots? Can you socket infusions and remove them freely? (Make one and be done?)

Example scenario: I have the ascended back item (offensive slot) and I make a versatile precision infusion. After infusing the back item, is there a way to get it back?

I can’t take it anymore! This is the third time I DC’d on the bonus fractal!

2, 10, and now 18. I’m so frustrated!! Now I have to sit and wait for my party to finish the last fractal while I sit here depressed in Lions Arch.

Meh, took 10 minutes to find a level 4 pug, and we went all the way to 7 without losing or stopping.

I was also wondering about the new Ascended items.

Anyone know what the recipe for the Fractal back pieces are?

Prototype + Gift of Ascension + ? + ?

Yeah, I don’t think anyone even read the blog post and are still bashing it for all the wrong reasons.

papryk.6273:

can’t wait for the new ascended gear
too bad it’s not a full set armor

It will be eventually!

“Eventually, you’ll be able to kit yourself out with a full set of Ascended gear and high end Infusions to help give you the edge in end game content.”

Payback.4526:

Well, I hope u will not be angry when u realize that the new gear will only be best in slot for the new dungeon and not for WvW or other PVE Content because u dont get Sigils/Runes.

Before you read what I’m about to say. I fully support Ascended items.

From the blog:
“The stats and functionality normally added to gear through upgrade components are actually built into Ascended items.”

I wasn’t aware that exotics and legendaries had a gap that needed bridging.

Oh? How many legendary items do you have? How many exotics do you have?

Does it matter? The guy with the legendary has the SAME exact stats as my Arah Greatsword. There is no gap, unless you call purple and orange names a gap.

The gap is personal progression.

EDIT: "We designed the process of getting Legendary gear to be a long term goal, but players were ready to start on that path much sooner than we expected and were becoming frustrated with a lack of personal progression. "

Alright guys, I understand that there are concerns about the inserted ascended tier items and how everyone is afraid it’s the start of a treadmill. Too many people are upset and furious about this and you shouldn’t be.

ArenaNet is only bridging the gap between exotic and legendary tiers. If you guys would have read the blog post you would understand that “legendary” is meant to be the highest tier and the ascension tier was only introduced so that people didn’t hit a wall trying to get legendary items. We also don’t even know exactly how these new items will work

“You’ll also see more Legendary items in the future”
This tells us they plan on adding legendary armor and they probably planned on it for awhile.

Totally fine with it. They’re just bridging the gap between the exotic and legendary tiers. If you guys would have read the blog post you would understand that Legendary was always meant to be the highest tier and the ascension tier was only introduced so that people didn’t hit a legendary wall. They stated this would be a one time change only. There is no treadmill…

This should pretty much close the thread. Did you really expect, in all realness, no change in gear stats, ever?

Well considering that’s what ANet promised, yes.

exactly, if you signed up for karate and a 3 months down the line they told me they switched the format to ballet, I’m sure most would be peeved.

lol terrible analogy… that doesn’t even work

Blah blah blah, I hate everything new thrown into the game and I’ll QQ no matter what changes or doesn’t change.

Don’t forget there are 5 pages of class changes coming in this patch as well.

Gee, what a compelling post.

This is what happens when all I see is negativity.

dreztina.4820:

It sounds awful honestly. Regardless of the map just being a rehash of the current maps with some pretty new graphics, it is going to be a total mess with class mobility imbalances. Right now, only a few classes have skills that can let them change elevation. Of those, only the thief has one that is spammable with no cooldown. And then of course there’s mesmer portal. Somehow Anet thought it would be a good idea to make their new spvp map one that is custom tailored to the abilities of two of the most problematic classes in the game.

Blah blah blah, I hate everything new thrown into the game and I’ll QQ no matter what changes or doesn’t change.

Maybe it unlocks the next level of difficulty and you can select where you start from a list.

Ex:
Level 1
Level 2
LOCKED
LOCKED
LOCKED
LOCKED
LOCKED
ect.

Why is the song “Fear not this Night” so epic? Totally ended up making the game for me and pulled at my emotions. How about for all of you?

In order to stay in stealth permanently, like you said, is initiative demanding.

You have to use these to do what you do:
Shadow’s Rejuvenation
Infusion of Shadow
Meld with Shadows
Last Refuge
Quick Recovery
Infiltrators Signet

and after all this you’re pretty much useless. ANet just needs to fix WvW capture points so that stealth doesn’t contest points…

The only thing that’s broken here is that thieves can contest capture points while invisible. They can’t do that in structured PvP for conquest.

Could have been this sigil:

10% chance of Quickness on Critical Hit

It is a possibility that they had a lot of this completed already, no?

I’m enjoying the event a lot. Having a lot of fun doing Lunatic Inquisition!

Did you click my link?
“our massive November release.”
key word massive.

OR Tosha’s link?
“big November update”
key word big.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Perpetual-bar-brawl-what-happened-to-it

A few posts down a RED talks about it.

It’s true. The game developers said somewhere that they have a massive content patch coming in November sometime.

This is year long too right? I mean, it’s under community and not special events.

I love it too! Check out my video!

I want everything for free and right away!

What kind of problems occured? lol

Everyone im my guild enjoyed the cutscene + dungeon.

MAD KING SAYS, DANCE!

I missed a 5 second cutscene in a video game, someone kill me!

Another QQ I deserve everything thread. Cmon guys you can’t run it once and expect free rare skins that are on the broker for 30+ gold. Seriously?

Woo! It was pretty awesome. Thanks ANET!

If anyone can’t handle missing a 5 second cutscene in a game they need to have their life values rechecked.

Wooooooo! Party time!

almost phoenix rank? o.o

AnthonyOrden — “One thing that may help is that in the coming days, there will be even more content available. Hopefully this should help spread attention around.”

This is a close answer I suppose.

My guess would be “no”, but I do want to make sure!

If I were to be unable to play by the time Act 2 launches on the 26th, am I going to miss some of the content from Act 1?

Half Way Down

I did CM last night with the composition of:

Thief
Mesmer
Warrior
Ranger
Engineer

We did struggle a little and had to respawn a few times but it was our first time for most.

I do agree even though most quickness skills have drawbacks.

+50% Animation Speed + a slight longer duration on quickness skills/traits maybe?

I was not expecting you to say what you said at the bottom. I smiled. Good job!

If you really want to play a support class in GW2 I suggest playing an Elementalist. The use of combo effects in this game is what really makes or breaks the party.

For example:
Elementalist casts ‘Healing Rain’
Party receives Regeneration and Condition Removal
Warrior uses ‘Earth Shaker’
Party receives AoE heal.
Enemy suffers Stun!
ect.

I feel removing the trinity has made for a made for a much more active team based dungeon experience. People just have trouble dealing with change.

Engineers have a ton of blast finishers, no? I look at Engineers as the master of combo finishers.

thief pics w00t!

teviko.6049:

thieves get too much stealth…

Thieves have just the right amount of stealth. It’s how thieves are supposed to be played. Smack Smack, Stealth, Smack Smack, Stealth. They have a 3 second “revealed” debuff that stops them from re-stealthing too fast. Just remember you can hit thieves in stealth.
