During this weekend i crashed about 50 times every hour or so, it has been 10 days of frustration for me and thousands of other people. Fix this or make it so we have a slot reserved on map for a couple of minutes.
Since last week launch of HoT i have been crashing constantly. I sent the reports everytime i crashed to anet but even after dozens of patches i’m still crashing, the most annoying thing happened to me 10 minutes ago when i was doing mouth of mordremoth and game crashed with boss at 5%, obviously i didnt get the reward after working for it for 2 hrs because u cant join a Dragon Stand map that has progressed that far. My setup is i5 4670k, 8gb ram, gtx 970 on win 10 64 bit.
We managed to get to vale guardian but after a full wipe we got kicked out of game and squad got automatically disbanded.
I believe is a buff u need to remove from boss to avoid the wipe, more tries required thou.
I had 4 games today with 4 ppl and only one we managed to win, is an obvious disadvantage, a 5 mins leniency could be put in place for people who disconnect but something should be done against leavers.
Nothing happens to those who quit or disconnect from a ranked game and leave the other 4 outnumbered. Do something about this, any type of competitive game i played had somekind of system against leavers but not GW2.
I want to hear the reason why didn’t put something in place in 3 years, by your standards a 4 vs 5 is fair game ?
I think this gets a bit out of hand since all parties that try for world records have 2-3 eles providing FGS to the entire grp, a class shouldn’t be this powerful and required for dungeons is just bad for the balance of the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew4kxa3EPe0&feature=youtu.be one example out of many
Dunno how often they release feature patches but i think is like twice per year and after i read that post it sounds like we wont see anything new about precursor crafting til next feature patch that will prolly come at the end of the year, by that time i’ll prolly play some other mmo.
Is sad to see it takes so long to get anything done in this game.
They started working out how to do it, but the introduction of the new living story season and the log wasn’t really compatible with what they were doing, so they’re back to the drawing board so to speak.
There’s no set date for completion.
Did they posted anything official since july 18th 2013 about this, if so can you link it ?
We aren’t quite ready to go into all the details here, but what I can say is you will see a specific way to build precursor items on your way to a legendary. On top of this, you’ll also see new legendary weapons and new types of legendary gear in 2013. Building your precursor will require a large amount of the new crafting material rewards listed above, 500 in crafting, and likely a combination of other items earned for completing more specific content in the game.
You sure they’re fine with it, i played tons of games and mmo’s and this looks broken to me, can’t be working as intended, couldn’t check the dps but in grp with 2 eles providing FGS we melted bosses in couple of seconds, while without eles in grp it can take minutes, looks heavily unbalanced to me and completely broken.
If you and whoever picks up your Fiery Greatsword casts Fiery Rush next to a mob thats near a wall you’ll do the trail dmg on same spot, this looks very broken to me since you can get a total of 4-5 Fiery Rushes(in a 5 man) on same boss basically killing him in 5 to 10s if you stacked buffs prior to pull. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fiery_Rush Even the wiki tells ppl how to abuse this skill.
An easy solution would be to give less points during nights so that the other servers can easily catch up and dont get demoralized next day if they play better.
Personally i play on desolation which has a great night team that gave us the extra edge we needed to win match ups, i wont lie about it.
I’m kinda disappointed, they named the patch tower of nightmares but u don’t get to actually explore it, is just another patch where u gotta kill thousands of mob waves.
Thanks for the quick reply, i like staff coz it also helps my group problem i have with it is the lag, its impossible to place down chaos storm in a place where u got 200-300 ppl fighting, i spam it for 10 times on the ground and nothing happens.
I think i’ll try to get mirror images and lots of clones while shattering with cry of frustration to apply confusion,also glamours and reflects.
Hey will this build work for rabid gear, i spent a lot of gold to get rabid ascended weps and accesorries for wvw but the blackwater build doesnt works for zerg vs zerg so now i’m looking for other options, could u please make a build with cond dmg for big groups ?
I really like my mesmer and i dont want to play the guardian.
Been trying to play this build in wvw and is really bad for zergs, i play on desolation and lets say u face a 3 way in stonemist castle with about 300 ppl in same area, chaos storm is impossible to cast coz of lag, your no.1 skill projectile moves too slow and by the time it reaches anything they’ll long be dead.
The only place this build works is against small teams but imo wvw is about big battles and it just doesnt works there.
I’m open to suggestions, i want a build that works in 100-300 ppl battles not 5vs5, til now the only wep i had some success to actually tag anything and do some dmg is the greatsword.
I’d like to see a way to save a certain trait spec and gear setup so that i can switch fast between them, for example on my mesmer i got a zerker setup with traits and gear that i use in dungeons and another one with conditions for wvw, it would be nice to have the option to fast switch between these two specs with only a few clicks.
Zerker is better coz faster something dies less dmg it does, also dodge in this game makes u immune to any hit.
Game is broken and unfinished on a basic level, dunno what they thought while developing dodge, for example u shouldn’t be able to evade maw’s attack in fractals yet u can wich is just wrong…
In the end whats the point in using vitality or toughness in a dungeon when u can dodge any type of hit after u practiced the fight a few times. Lastly with a guard traited in aoe blind u wont even have to dodge.
I’d like an official response from anet if it’s ok to sell dungeon slots coz i want to start soloing lupicus with my 250 http://www.gw2db.com/items/63074-jezzas-flamethrower and make 100 g per day from arah runs.
The boss puts ppl in crystals if all 5 are stacked takes 1s to free him, if ppl would be spread would be way harder and dangerous to try to free ppl from crystals, that takes some skill and coordination not dodging into a wall when the floor becomes red.
Game is broken on a basic level, anyone knows what happens to mobs/bosses if you go 1m above them ?
If you stack away from the wall the effect is basically the same, all you need to do is take a few steps to hit both alpha and the crystal, assuming the crystal spawns somewhat away from your group. Stacking near a wall only makes this easier and the dps higher.
Oh, got ninja’ed.
If u go out and return there’s a chance the crystalizing will happen on the way and not near boss, if u stack on wall and dodge into it the chances of crystalize happening away from boss are 0 thus trivializing that part of the encounter.
I found the new TA path too easy and forgiving, the final boss for example should instantly kill everyone in the room if he reaches 30 stacks with shield up, thats not the case, if you go far away from him u can survive even if u played really, really bad.
edit – how is dodging into a wall easier than dodging with no wall at all?

I wouldn’t call that playing good, is way easier and takes 0 skill to put a portal and do the acid ball in arah for example, imagine subject alpha without dodging into wall , u really think that arenanet created the script for that boss with stacking behind a wall and dodge into it in their mind?
Dunno how many other mmos u played but for me anything that trivializes/skips a big part of the game is an exploit, u can keep lying to yourself that it’s fine and it’s not your fault, anet did or said anything about it so u think its ok.
All i have to say is that dungeons are poorly designed in this game and anet does nothing to fix it. With the latest dungeon they placed doors so u cant skip but other dungeons are exploited to max, skipping 90% of instance, dodging into wall, whirlwinding into wall for more dmg, line of sight behind walls to get 10 mobs together and faceroll through them, blinking on cliffs, mesmer portal to triviliaze alot of dungeon mechanics and list goes on, ppl will always try to find the fastest way to complete something even if that isn’t what the way devs intented the dungeon to be run, they arent doing anything to fix it either.
These exploits been into game for a year, nothing has been done and nothing will be done.
Might be 2hrs 30 mins now but god knows what anet did, some post from a dev would be nice to know what the new respawn timer is.
We got 200 ppl waiting on desolation, nice job kitten ing off your community.
I just killed Tequatl on desolation but i didnt got all the chests u’re supposed to get for every 25%, other ppl got blue,yellow and orange chest i only got blue so there’s a bug somewhere.
If it can be done why ask for nerfs?
If it gets nerfed ppl won’t learn to play better and remain bad.
A suggestion from me would be to kick whoever afks for more than 2 mins while the event is active.
You cant kick anyone from the map. If he is there, he is there to stay. AFK or not. When you are in a guild or other group, you can filter your squad to perform better. In world events you cant. You are only as good as the bulk of your zerg can be. So whats the next recipe for sucessful PvE? All zerg transfer to Blackgate (and probably ruining it in the process)?
I’m sure its possible to do a script that checks if player is in range of the group event and if he’s not active for the past 2 mins then get him to character selection screen so someone else can enter the main area.

Never heard of enrage timers?… be happy isn’t 10 mins.
Too many of the fight mechanics are related to turrets so if 6 ppl fail on those turrets all other 100 players will die/not do enough dps.
Some sugestions:
-remove the dps gain from ability 4 on turrets and at the same time lower boss hp to make up for it
-make it spawn more frequently at least for these 2 weeks while the event is going, every hour like u did with scarlet.
-loot better be as good as the challenge else no one will do the fight, for getting him under 75% we got some karma and green quality item.
I finished trib mode yesterday with all achievs and while it was frustrating and i cursed a lot i loved every minute of it coz hard stuff is memorable.
I post this from pve perspective, i mostly run dungeons and fractals, very casual spvp or wvw, warriors are doing way too much dps in pve compared to other classes, saw some math on gw2guru forums and they’re about 20% ahead in dps compared to other classes thus everyone playing the warrior class and others aren’t as popular.
I know that warriors are usually very popular in any rpg but if u do pve in this game u want 4 warriors and maybe a guardian, everything else is just supbar. In the end i understand is not possible to perfectly balance all the classes but at least try to keep them under 5% diff in dps between each other.
I managed to finish it thou even with those bugs but i think i lost like 2hrs coz of those buggy checkpoints.
W2Z3 left now, i’m curious if there are any bugs like this in there?
Two weeks since they released SAB and this isnt fixed, stuck on this kitten bugged cloud.
They could at least tell us to not try SAB trib w2z2 til is fixed so we dont waste our time.
Put it on the frontpage or a msg when u enter the zone.
Spent like 6hrs for nothing.
