I beat the Vinewraith three times last night and I had all 3 of my chest boxes (including the achievement one). RNG I guess :/
IMake sure you stand on Kasmeers time warp when his head is trapped out of the ground and you’ll reduce his health to 25% in one round! I think this is very much a learn to play issue!
I had no idea there’s a time warp. Does she tell you at some point? I do know they tell you not to kill the little adds, which leads to the shadow turning off the fire…
I’m usually annoyed with gating the story with super hard encounters. Yes I made it myself, but a lot of people I know are suffering. It is pretty hard with lots of red circles and explosions and small space to maneuvre in, especially if you’re not 100% on top of your game or play a class who can’t cope as well.
On a related note, I’m pretty tired of the whole scenario where something convenient happens and I end up fighting alone. The role of my “underlings” is to be stuck outside the Omphalos chamber / Dragon vines during the fight, or like in the Glint’s lair, for Kasmeer her role was for some reason to be stuck on her butt on the floor the whole fight.
Hi Traveller, yeah she say’s something along the lines of “this should help” when the bosses head is forced out of the ground and the you see the time warp pop at a location adjacent to his head. Get inside the fire ring inside the timewarp and it’s game over for that champion!
I’m afraid I can’t agree with the OP. I found this encounter enjoyable and simple enough once I learned the timings of the attacks etc. Lag was not an issue for me and the aoe/attack circles all worked correctly. I ran it with a zerker ranger and didn’t even need to use the Rao stability. I just brought lightning reflexes and traited for increased endurance regeneration with stun breakers and it was a piece of cake. Make sure you stand on Kasmeers time warp when his head is trapped out of the ground and you’ll reduce his health to 25% in one round! I think this is very much a learn to play issue.
Great boss and great episode Anet – can’t wait for more!
I definitely think that was a Mursaat. Before that Mursaat shot comes up the CGI video that says:
“but we can break free from destiny”, “it will require strength, strategy and insight”.
I believe this is showing how the Mursaat ‘broke free from destiny’, they hid themselves and their city with their special ability to phase into the mists and that we may very well have to either follow the Mursaat’s lead or find our own way to break free from the dragon’s like they did.
Adding the jumping and time limit for me increased the challenge and made it feel all the more worth while when I completed the LS2 content. If that added challenge wasn’t there I’d probably get through it in about an hour.
Seriously the jumping isn’t hard as far as the story part goes, and only gets challenging for the jumping dive location. I can understand that some peoples FPS problems make the jumping side very annoying, but if you are playing a PC MMORPG then you know that realistically you need to have a decent PC spec. If you want games that always work on the same spec you should stick to console games.
@ People complaining about glitchy aspect powers – I’ve not had a single problem with this outside of sanctum sprint when it was first launched – I think it must be either connected to your low FPS and/or slow internet connection.
Anet – love this content, keep it up!
I agree that jumping should be optional to a certain extent, but I don’t agree with the OP on his last two points.
Adding the time limit for me increased the challenge and made it feel all the more worth while when I completed the jumping puzzle and dive location. If that added challenge wasn’t there I’d probably get through it in about 5 minutes. And diving is also optional – you should have to jump to get to them because they are mostly in high-up, hard to get to locations.
I have also taken screenshots if you would like them as evidence.
Hi Anet, just played a tpvp game. Two guys on our team both giving the whole team verbal abuse including swearing, comments about each team members mother, the list goes on (trolls). Also verbal abuse continued after the match in hit and run style – i.e. one would send a malicious comment then block me so that I could not reply. Just bringing it up on here so that my in-game report today doesn’t go unnoticed. Completely unacceptable behaviour, please take further action.
Also this link provides a real time map of DDos attacks around the world. Looks like France is getting hit hard which is where the faulty node is located (could be part of the problem, but I am by no means an expert).

Hi, I have been looking all over the Internet for the cause of massive Internet lag /packet loss in Western Europe. The issue is occurring at the following node:
ae5.fra61.ip4.tinet.net
These two threads identified the node:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Crazy-lag-past-couple-of-days/page/3#post3537234
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Connection-issues-Theory-on-why
Using a VPN has been shown to cure the problem but is expensive .
Valve/steam managed to fix this problem for their dota2 players by re-routing elsewhere instead of through the aforementioned tinet node. Please see here for the evidence http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=72500&page=18&p=936763&viewfull=1#post936763
I don’t know if us the players can change the routing used to reach your servers other than using a pricey VPN but it appears that Anet, you can change it your end.
I absolutely love this game but I currently can’t play this new content because of massive lag spikes. Anet this is affecting a ton of your players in Europe. Please help us!!!

Hi I have never had issues before, but since the 21/01/14 patch I have had serious internet lag problems. It’s certainly not a problem my end. I have contacted my ISP, checked my connection and I have a high end rig (gtx 770, i7 4770, 16 gb ram etc.) and I have a fibre broadband connection (30+ Gb/s). This internet lag (between 4-10s) occurs particularly when fighting the new marrionette event in lornars pass. The mobs before the teleporters are where the lag hits worst, and once I reach the champions on the platform I am fine.

I completely understand OP about the high amount of laurels needed for people with a lot of alts. I have 5 lvl 80s and plan on equipping at least three of those 80s with ascended armors. That being said, we all just need to learn to wait and enjoy the progress while we wait. If we get everything in less than a week, we would be bored and complaining for more things soon enough. So, yes I wish we could spend less laurels, but I also understand why: It would feel so good once we get all our ascended pieces together!
I like you. Seriously, you make the most sense out of everyone. +1
I also agree with the OP and Veasna. Also I can’t see ascended gear giving people an advantage in WvW at all. For example, the 5 stack buffs (vitality and power) acquired through guard slaying and guard defence mastery – I constantly kill these people when I don’t have the stacks and/or food buffs. WvW is all about your build and the skill with which you play that build. Exotic armour is more than enough.
I understand most people’s hate for pug rangers. But ranger is one if not the best classes for fotm/dungeons/wvw/pvp. I play a full zerker LB/GS ranger with signet of stone (with the signets affect both you and pet trait), signet of renewal and “protect me” (30 30 10 0 0). My pets constantly provide fury and regeneration buffs (Moa and Fern hound) and I am virtually un-killable due to invulnerability (signet of stone and “protect me”), evades (+ vigor on heals etc) and GS skill 4. I occasionally bring the traited frost spirit to fotm; however they usually die very quickly. Also I swap to shortbow + muddy terrain + krytan hound for constant knockbacks, immobilisation and cripple in the grawl fractal for vet mobs at first boss. There have been many times where my group have all died and I have carried them as I provide extremely high dps and have high survivability. Ranger played right with a skilled player at the controls is a great asset to any group.
It seems to me like we may be getting a Zephyrite District!
Hi I’m not sure if Anet is aware, but I believe there is an issue with either the guesting system or dungeon instances. This began 2 days ago. I can enter the same instance with players from my server, but not other servers (North America Servers). This has affected everyone I have come in contact with. I have have encountered this problem on CoF, FoTm, and Molten Facility. The invite for entry into an instance pops-up but upon pressing enter, the pop-up disappears and I cannot enter the instance. Please fix this before the Molten Facility ends or extend the date it is active until because I want the JetPack!!!
