Guild Wars 2

Tarnished Coast, breh.

Just curious, I made my Quiver of Swift Flight as well as a Precise Infusion for it. What I’m wondering is if when I turn the quiver to the infused version down the road, Quiver + 250 ectos + Glob of Coagulated Mists Essence + Gift of Ascension to make the Quiver of Swift Flight (Infused), would I lose the initial Precise Infusion I put in it or will it stick through the upgrade? Not really wanting to waste it.

Would be kinda nice to see Karma getting more of a use. Let’s be honest, unless you’re going for a legendary it’s preeeetty much useless. Since you all at Anet seem to have a things cost like 250 of this or that material, why not implement a vendor that sells all T6 materials like the Powerful bloods, Vicious claw/fangs, Armored scales, Crystalline dust, etc, etc available for purchase for like 1000-2000 Karma per?

It would encourage people to do events as a community, not just spend hours upon hours by yourself farming Skelk to get maybe one blood every 45 minutes or so. No offense here or anything but it just seems like the approach on the original design philosophy of the “no grind” and “community play” are going well… A bit backwards. This would allow a “grind” of sorts to farming the items so people will feel they earned their items. But at least it’s one where you’re doing events, something that can be pretty fun, not just sitting there alone doing the aforementioned mob hunting in HOPES of getting an item you need every great once in a while. It would just be nice to see Karma get more of a use in this game, I think it’s a pretty cool system of currency but in reality unless you’re working toward a legendary it’s useless. Not everyone wants a legendary, personally I play a ranger and I’d take Azureflame over Kudzu any day of the week. So sitting on 560k karma with nothing to use it on it a bit lame. Just hoping to see this get more of a use in the near future.

Maybe once a majority of the bugs are taken care of and whatever is need of balancing out is sorted, perhaps add something like visual effects to weapons based on the sigil equipped? Perhaps with the “Minor” sigils being a weaker looking variation of the effect animation up to the “Superior” sigils being the most pronounced variation?

@Tombs
Who said they’re not moving? Honestly, it’s not rocket science. Bait the evades then crush them. Wow that was really difficult. The whole “not mving thing” shows you clearly don’t understand your class. As to the dog/wolf example, 1) knockdown. 2) fear. Beyond that you can knock them down with PBS as makeshift stun of sorts, and immobilize with Muddy Terain. Do you even read what your skills or pets do? Or do you just immediately to cry on the forums because you get rolled?

Okay, it’s the same as other classes using their signets to get those big hits with their “single skills” that everyone else is crying about? True I wasn’t aware channeled skills work like that, but 17,460 dmg in an RF that was what a ~1.5s channel because of QZ doesn’t seem that “time consuming” to me.

As to a more single skill hit my 1 will do about 1,600 on average with 5,000+ crits on players if at range (and let’s be honest with a mix of a dog or wolf pet out and PBS, it’s not that hard to keep range in a 1v1 scenario). Imo the only thing that really needs to be tweaked about longbow is the Obstructed/Out of range issue and lose “closer they are = less damage” mechanic.

Ah~ Still seems like pretty good overall damage for a single skill though if you ask me. o.o

I dunno, granted I’m a glass cannon build (fits my playstyle, used to it and able to handle myself well in most situations) my burst seems fine. I pop Rampage as one, QZ and hit rapidfire and a good majority of people I hit just melt. I’m not really a reactive screenshotter. (OMG I JUST HIT FOR —-— screenshot) But I’ll be sure to take a few next time I get around this damage range. But back to my example. the last hit of my RF on this other player in WvW (they were an 80, not upscaled) was for 17,460. And the 3 before that were in the 10,000-14,000 range. Had they not been a heavy armor class they would of been in trouble, he popped a heal on about the 8th hit which saved him from the 9th downing him, but the 17.5k hit did the trick. Current damage set up unbuffed is:

3,414 attack
53% crit
98% crit dmg modifier

I think to get the big numbers with ranger you just need to go balls to the wall HAM status. All or nothin, y’know? Less-so for other clases possibly. But I’m definitely not seeing any problems with my burst in most aspects. Only real hinderance to my damage is the random Obstructed/Out of Range bug issues.

Granted 17,460 is my HIGHEST hit ever done to another player, I seem to get 14,000-16,000s often enough (10th hit of RF). Will post combat log screenshots for evidence of such next time I’m in WvW with sone peeks at my gearing if that will help anyone out there?

Could we maybe has dueling? Would mean a lot to a lot of people I’m sure. Learning the mechanics of other classes in a 1v1 scenario would be kinda nice as well as being able to test things without haveing to join the mists, find a game no one is in and try to test things out without a mass of other people constantly popping in the match.

Maybe also some spvp modes of sorts that are similar to wvw? Your own equipment etc etc- I know it’s not -that- big of a deal but I for example prefer how my ranger works outside of spvp vs the statting I have to use to get as close to the equivalent of that as I can in spvp, heck even just being able to keep your normal look could be the difference between enjoying spvp and not for some. The ability to que with friends would also be appreciated if you’re grouping as a premade maybe have it match you against other premades? I’m totally down for how the current spvp system is but I think it’d probably be more enjoyable if just kept in a more “tournament play” type aspect. Level playing fields where everyone has the same access to the same gear (non-statted where everything is defined by your runes/sigils, etc.

As Konig said in another thread there are important things to keep in mind as to WHY Zhaitan was as weak as he was:

1) Starved (killed one of two Mouth of Zhaitan)
2) Partially blinded (killed a few Eyes of Zhaitan)
3) Had his largest minion “processing plants” (so to speak) ruined (Ossuary of the Unquiet Dead/that bone ship option)
4) Had the five greatest power sources taken from him (temple meta events)
5) And had the corruption of the land removed (Source of Orr)

He had been severely weakened repeatedly for days, if not weeks, before we took to the sky to fight him.

I do have to agree that the Zhaitan fight -was- a little anti-climatic. Granted this is a fantasy game, just try to put it in perspective. Zhaitan was nailed by a cannon with a beam that was roughly what- half the size of his body? I think it’s understandable that he just clung to the tower for dear life in a daze of kitten You shoot a person with a bullet no bigger than their thumb nail and it does how much damage? I’m sure in most cases they won’t be all “Raaawr! Super mega attack nao!” after it but hey, cocaine is one hell of a drug.

I dunno. I think it’s just a little bit realistic for this scenario that he gets rofl’d the way he does after taking a hit THAT big.

I’m not sure how active they are, just remember a friend who was trying to get me more into RP mentioning them before the game came out.

Would be nice but there’s a few unofficial server forums if I remember correctly, lemme see if I can find em.

Tarnished Coast seems fine for RP to me, granted I’m pretty new to it but I seem to always see a lot of people at the Busted Flagon. There’s still two other taverns people hang out at and that’s just Divinity’s Reach, let alone other major cities/world RP. Personally not really into tavern RP but it’s a way to meet other people I guess so we can get more world RP going.
