Guild Wars 2

Patience, and luck…

You can try camping the forts for them (Demolisher – Indigo, Annihilator – Red, Executioner – Amber, Tormentor – Blue) if you want to push your luck. They only spawn during the defense event of the fort, and have higher chance to spawn when the fort is level 3 or more. So just stay at one fort that you need legend and pray that you’ll be lucky.

….map chat helps too.

It took me more than 2 weeks camping in SW everyday to get all of them.

buy with karma I guess?

My Herald
…Could’ve been much better with some phalanx pieces… but ANet still rejecting my money

bring back phalanx set please

If I change the ascended weapon attributes via mystic forge, will the color of the weapon change too? For example: zojja (red) -> soros (yellow)

I’m using 32bit client and I have the problem, my OS is 64bit though

It seems that ANet doesn’t seem to care about us minority, I suggest you all try WTFast for a temporary solution. I used to have ~4k ping recently too, but with WTFast (free user) I get stable ~240 ping now. It may cause some problem loading TP or LFG (rarely though) but at least the game is playable

Wait til you hear about Santa Claus…

Aww man….he dies?

nahh man… he comes, cuz he has some big sacks and goes “ho ho ho”…

…ops forgot spoiler :p

Kam.4092:

Yeah I’d like the Phalanx set…

It’d be a great thing to do cause Anet would make money :V and we want sets

+1

I wish this set will be back soon, it’s the best looking gem heavy set IMO. I really don’t know why they remove it and keep those ugly ones…

after wintersday update I can’t even log in now…

I’m having this problem too (and I thought it’s just me or my ISP problem). 3 days ago my average ping is ~250ms, but recently it’s ~1.5kms at 19:00~23:00 (GMT+7), after that it gets better, but still ~400ms. I tried speed test, ping gw2 ip, reset router,… anything I could, but everything is normal, except gw2

I’m desperately waiting for phalanx set to come back to the store too

I missed this set while it was on sale before. Is there any chance that it will return?

And how do I get hero points in EotM by the way?

Thanks for the tips! How can I start HoT, or get to Verdant Brink? Do I need to finish my personal story first?

Hello, I’ve just return to Tyria recently after being away for about 6 months. I managed to get my new Revenant to 80 yesterday, and my world completion for him is at 50%. Now I need 190 hero points to unlock Herald for him, is there any tip to get this fast please?

Thanks in advance

I’ll add an online scan here in case u guys feel my file is suspicious

I’ve updated my app with runes adding and stats conversion from traits or runes, I’ll just post the “click and run” version here in case you guys want to try out but don’t like password or winrar. But of course, you still need .Net framework 4.0 to run it.

Hello everyone, I’ve just made an app to help people who want to build a proper gear set for their toons, but don’t have much time and money to try and buy out all the possible gear combinations to see how it affects your stats. At first I only make this to assist me in building my AH guard, but then, I think someone else may have this need too, so I expanded it. Generaly, this tool let you try on exotic/ascend weapons/armors/trinkets and then calculate the final stats you’ll get with the current gear. There’s still no Runes adding feature in this version, because it requires much more coding than I can handle for now, I’ll add it in the future when possible. I hope this will help.

Unlock password is my account name
Please send me feed back or post it here if you find any bugs, because I’ve just only tested it on my guard so it’s not 100% bug-free. I’ll fix it whenever possible.
You’ll need WinRAR to extract it and .Net Framework 4.0 to run it (if you’re running win7 64bit then you’re good to go)

Hello, I’m trying to build my necromancer to do well both in PvE and WvWvW. I’m running with the build 20/30/20/0/0, I’ve already had a full rabid armor set with 6 undead runes, and all 6 carrion accessories. I’m trying to do FotM to change my accessories, so can give me an advice of what to take (carrion or rabid)? And can you give me some advice on weapons too? I’m currently using carrion scepter/focus and staff, should I change to rabid? What sigil should I use on them (I’m considering between agony, earth and strength). Thank you for your time.

I’ve already started a topic on this (although I’m not the only one anyway) in contribution to many others before me. But it seems that devs been busy with the new big update (which I think is useless, since it doesn’t fix any of the problems the game’s having now, instead, I may even add more) and won’t have time for this matter any time soon.

+1 to this. It’s not like that I don’t like to be in a guild, I’ve had guilds for every characters of mine already (I only play 2 characters actually). But as you said, there’re just not enough people, part of it because my guild is not that big (just mid-size guild), another reason is as I said, I’m on different timezone with my guild :-s

Another +1, my server don’t have a high enough population to do well in WvW, in fact, they do very poorly. The WvW map is not even on the PvE world map anyway, why does it have to be a part of world completion?

I approve of this thread but still think chat suppression is ridiculous in a game with no dungeon finder.

Well, I suggested a LFG channel just in case ANet can’t add a LFG interface, and that suppression is for those people who use the channel for other purposes. Those are just my suggestions for ANet though. And TBH, I’m fine with whaatever they’ll add, as long as I don’t have to sit in a specific map and spamming map channel for group.

well, I created the topic few days ago but it seems that it didn’t get much attention. Now with the big update coming up, can you please, ANet, include this feature along with the update please? I made some mistake choosing the server, now I stuck in a server with a complete opposite timezone, and “not so high” population, or at least that’s what I see, almost every maps I go are empty (or have some bots, or 1 or 2 unresponsive players). Maybe it’s not what it seems, maybe people are just all over the other places. But honestly, this trouble me a lot, especially on Orr, where I need at least 5 or more people for some events, and without doing those events, there’re just some exploration that cannot be done. And things even worst on dungeons. I really can’t switch to another server with same timezone now, because they’re all full. So this’s my best bet now. IMO, if guild wars 2 is a group-oriented game, then this feature is what the game should have anyway.

As the title says, please consider adding an LFG interface, or at least a chat channel. I don’t have much time to play, so I just want to enjoy my time in the game, with a LFG interface, I can go exploring the world while I still can find a group to do a dungeon I need, instead of having to stay LA map (or map with the dungeon entrance) and spamming LFG/LFM. I don’t have many requirements on the interface (beggar can’t be chooser anyway) just some normal functions such as allow an individual/group to register for a desired dungeon, search for a group/individual currently registered for a dungeon… are pretty much sufficient for me. If it’s too much then I’m also fine with just a LFG chat channel (with chat delay to suppress spamming, or whatever you want). Thank you for your consideration.

Bumb. Really need help here please.

Hello, I’ve just reached 80 recently, and now I need to pick some exos for my power/crit ranger. At this moment, I’ve already crafted a full set of berserker’s amulet/rings/earrings and a berserker’s LB. When I was going to craft a berserker medium set, one of my guildies advice me to make a valkyrie set instead, and use precision runes for addition crit rate, be cuz, as he said, we ranger need more survivability to actually deal damage, and for us, crit rate around 50~55% is enough. After some calculating, I found that I cant reach that 50% mark (I’m 30 skirmish btw), instead, it’s just around 40~45 if I use valkyrie set. So I really need some advice here please, for someone that don’t have much time to play like me, gold is one of my biggest problem so I really can’t afford a second set. Thank you.

Hello, most of you must have known these 2 sigils (one grant might for 10sec on 30% chance when crit and the other grant 3 stacks of might for 20sec when weapon-swapped to). My question is simple, how does these stackin’ work? To be precise, (I knew that might stack by intensity) do 3 stacks of Battle can stack more or just that (when you swap it’ll be another 3 stacks or will stack on the old ones), and will this stack with might from other players? if yes, what duration will it take (remainin’ of our 10 or 20sec, or other players might’s duration)?

How is that going to stop people from running one dungeon? Instead of running the one they need, they’ll just run the one that’s easiest and fastest to accumulate as many tokens as they possibly can. You’re replacing one “grind” with another, just cleverly disguised, but at the same time you cheapen the process all together.

I didn’t say that going to stop ppl runnin’ one dungeon, what I hope for is that it will make more ppl enjoy the game. I have a life, a family, work and friends. So of course when lookin’ for relax, I’d want something that I can enjoy doin’.
And by you say “easiest and fastest”, the dungeons in this game are so strangely unbalanced some of the lower lvl ones even harder than the higher lvl ones which leave some really bad impressions on new players (like me). I still remember the very first time I run AC EM at lvl40, with 1 lvl80 and 3 60+, still, we got so many wipes and have to call it in the end (all thanks to the lvl scalin’, maybe). Is that a good thing or just my own personal problem, or ANet fault for offer me something out of my league (even tho they say I “can” do it, since it for lvl35)? :-s

Tradewind.6913:

I want there to be a reason I’m doing it so in that sense I agree that rewards kinda suck, but you’re not really there to win rares and other stuff, you’re there for emblems.

The emblems is another problem for me, I personally don’t like that they make that each dungeon gives an unique type of token for an unique weapons/armors set (which on differ with others on the looks). It’s kind of forced players to do one dungeon over again and again.
They can make it only one kind of token for all the set, so, for example, I can enjoy doing all the dungeons while still gettin’ the set I want.

Well, it’s not like I don’t like or what, I’ve been playing the game since the release and, tbh, I enjoyed it a lot. But ever since I hit 80 (about 4 or 5 days ago) there’re just too many things that keep bugging me So I’ll let them all out here in hope that ANet will notice and (hopefully) fix them some how:
- First thing: the dungeons, for god’s sake, they’re so friggin’ hard (or some of them even like impossible for me now), I’m just a casual player, not some skilled players (well, tbh, I’m familiar with the trinity in WoW, but this is another thing isn’t it?). And on the opposite, the reward not even rewarding at all, it can’t even afford my repair bill or portal cost, making runnin’ dungeons seems like a suicidal blindin’ grind for trophies (tokens) for me now (and of course, there’s no fun at all). And for christ’s sake, ANet just makin’ this worst after every patchs they release. And another thing about the dungeons, they reward different tokens for different “looking” set of exotic weapons/armors (instead of only one kind of token for all heroic dungeons like wow). This force many ppl to grind a dungeon again and again till they bore to dead, without caring about anything (dungeons?) else (where’s the “no grind” thingy, eh?)
- Second thing: the Level Scaling thingy. Don’s misunderstand please, I do not have anything against this. This is a nice and new feature, yes, I agree, but sometimes, it really pisses me off so much. I’m a lvl80 (with proper gears, of course, at least all green+), but when I back to lvl15~45 zones to explore, I still get mykitten kicked by some angry mobs :-s and thus lead to many of my death (in dungeons too), and not just that, I was down to a much lower lvl guy, buy my repair bill and travel fee still friggin’ the same of a lvl80 guy. This make me think my “high lvl” have no other purpose than make me more broke. This leads to many of my rage quits (temporary) (don’t blame me, I have enough stress from a long day of work, I play this game lookin’ for some time to relax, not for more stress).
- There’re still something else, but they’re just some minor problems of mine, and not buggin’ me a lot like these to. I’m not tryin’ to troll or anything. Just want to say my opinions, and hope that ANet can fix their game so everyone can enjoy it without so much rages or stress :-s

Hello, when browsing precision runes to build gears for my newly 80, I’ve taken an interest in this rune of ranger. However, its last option grant 5% damage bonus when I’m with a “companion”. My question is, what is this “companion”? Is that ranger/necro pet, or party member, or just an ally nearby? And does that “companion” have to be alive for me to receive the bonus?

Hello, I saw some of the sigils and traits grant % to bleed on critial. My question is does this bleed damage work with my condition damage or it is a fixed amount?
