Guild Wars 2

I’m too very disappointed with the fact how my Wall of Reflection has so many exceptions, it has become unreliable, always have to test it on every single enemy type/attack to see if it actually works. There is no pattern, some AOE-based attacks can be reflected while most not, some bullets can be reflected, some not
“This skill reflects projectiles except projectiles that look like projectiles but don’t count as projectiles”

lol, people who farmed easy AP from LS1 are all like “the requirements are OK”

JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH.7349:

They’re not really viable in most settings. Seems like they were only made for lesser skilled players to annoy others.

Just like that account name of yours?

this is what happens when you bring upscaleds with you, bet she was wearing greens

What you need to do is take a break, and even more breaks after that. You are playing in an unhealthy way

Ignore the haters, do whatever you were doing, continue life

Not mine, but someone posted a pic here of a LFG with the words “no pugs” in it

1) Ascended armour is released

Reaction: people still fill forums with complaints about how hard it is to make

2) Suddenly there’s a free crafting booster available, then another one on sale and then the event yesterday suddenly awards you with materials needed in ascended crafting (dragonite ore, obsidian shards and even a lesser vision crystal). And linen was even added to the drops two weeks ago

I’m guessing this stuff doesn’t just come by chance, or even if it does, it’s just people not noticing the whole picture

I thought it would be cool to make a general thread about the stream and try to keep most of the stuff focused in here so you don’t have to crawl through 10 different ones about the same subject, but of course everyone is allowed to do as they please.

Ready Up will air live on the Guild Wars 2 Twitch channel this Friday, May 8, at noon Pacific Time (UTC-7) @ http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2

While you are waiting you can play around with that_shamans specialization calculator and theorycraft your own combinations. Shouldn’t take long after the stream for the elitespec trait to appear there

The closer it gets the more hyped I’m getting, what interests me most is what sort of combo fields, if any, the traps will be, their cast-times (combined with activation time), cooldowns and of course the damage/conditions they will apply, new possible combo finishers from F1 and F2, and the Wings of Resolve just looks phenomenal (imagine male Norns and Charrs)

Get onto Borderlands
Enemy capping north camp
I go to north camp

Enemy is a Guardian and Longbow ranger
I look at the enemy. More lootbags

I start running and what do I get? Longbow ranger knockback. I dodge Rapid Fire.

I teleport next to the ranger. I watch him go full panic mode when his health drops in a few seconds while his Guardian friend waves his staff around and throws symbols around the camp

I say “More Rangers should play full glasscannon longbow”

Later I have annoying fight with roaming thief. A large dagger howls. I fail to use any skill. I get backstabbed and die after 2 hits on me in a timespan of 0.000000000069 seconds.

RIP.

So a new guy comes and tells us how fascinated he is with the game and then arrive to bash the whole game for him and now you’re discussing gems and hours of gameplay? Wtf man

I think you’re just jealous because you need 4 more people in a task that some people manage to do alone

But you do get ‘kicked’ (logged out) if you AFK too long.

Legendary Trinkets that would give your character special glows/auras/effects

phokus.8934:

Still waiting, Rob.

Continue waiting then, he posted only like 2 hours ago lol

OK here goes, here comes the truth that you didn’t expect:

It all goes back to the day when Mordremoth came up the idea of with leaving a few seeds of his to one day grow up to a huge Champion of his that is capable of spawning an endless amount of more smaller minions, which head he would insert full with false visions called “the dream”, which top priory was to take out a competitor located southeast of him.
Making this champion know – yet not know – it actually is his minion, letting them live in an illusion they have a free will, and this crusade of theirs is not steered by him thus gaining full trust of other Tyrians and joining forces to destroy Zhaitan (not him simply by pretending to be asleep)
After successfully destroying Zhaitan and all his forces that whole area he occupied is suddenly free for taking since Kralkatorrik is busy weeping in the desert and Bubbles is busy doing dragon stuff somewhere underwater that will forever be irrelevant.
Now has come the time to simply waltz in and conquer aaaaaaaaalll that sweet magic and land for himself, he proceeds in picking some random minion of his called Ce-rar—rarara-Cea? Whatever, he picks Scarlet as his nickname and to wake himself up, then continues to roll through Tyria doing whatever he wants, in the form of this one minion of his. All that destruction in that little form! Imagine him doing the same as himself.
Ok eventually when he has completed his mission some random guys come and 5v1 him on his drill, whatever.
Ok now the oooo-sooo-scary-pact who think they are doing things of free will fly towards him, time to flip the “obey-me”-switch to on his minions, SNAP no more Pact and all that land plus your minions belongs to you now

tl;dr; everything including Zhaitans death was planned by Mordremoth and you were mere puppets in his grand scheme of total world domination

The longbow and traps becomes a joke when you meet competitive roamers with it and you are forced to switch weapon immediately or die right there, you oughta not balance this purely for PvP

Funny, they increased the damage by 12.5% for BW3 because it was felt too weak before that, and furthermore half of Guardians on this board still seem to think they won’t be using Longbow.

oxtred.7658:

This is gold. The guy saying miku should l2P and then linking his own video. Thanks for the fair laugh.

That was supposed to be the whole joke

Now I need a calculator to actually see how much money I will get in my hand when selling items?
This specific feature doesn’t sound like an update, more like a downdate. Other things with the Trading Post update are actually updates

Kahrgan.7401:

The main benefit of making buying/selling against the rules for Anet, is that you won’t have to deal with all the reports and drama from people being griefed/scammed, or any other situation that deals with these situations.

This way of thinking just makes my head hurt

But how will you then be able to know there is a PvP tournament going on you are surely interested in every time you log in? Or read about the new offers in the Gem Store?

Stop ruining gamemodes with your farmerbuddies

I like Trahearne

Windsagio.1340:

Going rifle and Pistol would have been a cool playing against type that is very in sync with the GW2 world.

Longbow is layering high fantasy on top of high fantasy.

Rifle and Pistol are like the least Guardian-like weapons available :/ Maybe play Warrior instead?

Just trying them out, it doesn’t seem to change that much. They just won’t activate if something is blocking the way, but I can still use them to gapclose to targets outside of my range as usual

That would lead to reducing/nerfing other abilities which I do not want

Simple, if it doesn’t have a beard then it’s not a Guardian

>__>

it applies 1 second of them, 10 seconds only if you decide to hang around inside the trap

rely less on stealth and more on your own skills

Dawdler.8521:

Yep there is a counter.

Its called get your god kitten melee kitten out there to wreck their sorry kitten with a veil from behind.

What a bad reply.

This won’t end well…

SchmendrickTheMagician.8247:

Vikkela.7261:

Has anyone got to test Sigil of Agility yet (5 sec swiftness on weapon swap) ?

If you mean the one that also gives 1 second of quickness, I think that only procs in combat.

Exactly that one, Swiftness in combat and Traveler Runes for outside of combat is what I’m thinking of for my roamer(s)

Shaunaniguns.8730:

I don’t care about WvW

This statement matters more than you think, so, do you care of WvW or not? If you don’t care about it then it has no matter which server each one of you play on, there is nothing affecting your family from playing with each other

I’ve got 2 now, first one was a human and the second one made me discover the male norn autoattack animation on 1h sword :D

Teon.5168:

I play a rev sometimes in wvw, and I would sure like to know how I can spam unlimited boons. Must be some super secret special button that I haven’t seen, yet.

Just go AFK and you’re set

- Puncture Shot (LB #1) still refuses to co-operate with you if the enemy is slightly on your side or behind you, your character won’t turn around/fire
- Deflecting Shot (LB #3) can’t be shot backwards
- Symbol of Energy can’t be (LB #4) placed behind you

- The increased projectile speed really makes a huge difference, but it seems to get a lot of “out of range” or “obstructed” even when the enemy is close and on flat ground.
- F2 heals and crits really nicely. #2 is nice, the cost of rooting is small compared to how often you can shoot it and crit nicely

I’m starting to enjoy DH a lot

I wrote before the patch that I don’t like the idea of getting rid of instance owner, and I’ll be writing it again.
Why can’t there be an option to have an instance leader or not? Have an option when creating a party if you want to be the instance leader, the ones who don’t want it would leave it out. Then in the description people can see and choose a path that has the one of their liking, the group with a leader could have a star or something next to it. Everyone would win, nobody would be on the mercy of griefers anymore, who the current system just supports.

Btw, I don’t do dungeons anymore without friends or guildies. Max 1 pug allowed

try to put your siege outside of throwing range once and have 2-3 players with brains to stand between the siege and the disabler-guy for once
yeah, instead of deploying that catapult 1 meter from the wall deploy it further away
requires too much thinking? you can’t simply waltz inside a t3 tower now with your flame rams, you actually have to think a little? how horrible

Won’t make it a good name though

(shoots OP) nothing to see here!

It does not disappear if you have simply logged in to the game during the time it was “active”, it will stay unlockable for your account later

They could start with reversing the nerf they did on Pure of Voice (shouts removing 2 condies instead of one) back when there was less condiespam in game

I was wrecking Warriors before it was cool…

Aeolus.3615:

And the defensive guardian is very easy to be defeated, since most traits are vannilla and outdated.

We live in sad times.

Rapid fire was never buffed, it was made easier to dodge. Power ranger is still the easiest build to kill in 99% of cases, unless you rely on turrets doing the work for you since a LB ranger is not forced to follow you through them

I wouldn’t be surprised if Anet actually had WvW defence in mind with this buff – with the siege delay traps and all, now possibly making the longbow on walls not just one of those small annoying things you mostly ignore

anduriell.6280:

LB#3 is broken for the following reasons:

It has to hit.

Requiring a skill to land your target for it to have its desired effect does not make a skill broken…

Adam.3716:

My Sylvari guardian. People always ask what dye the red is but its the Pheonix red Sylvari skin.

i know this post is old as hell but does anyone know the armor being used?

That would be a full set of Nightmare Court armor

Daze on traps however is one of the lamest and unskilled things ingame. I remember it added to traps only as a band-aid during beta with the reasoning to help us actually get people to get hit by traps. We got the pull then too. Now it is instead used as a spammable interrupt and it makes going melee against DH very lame.

Don’t derail videothreads to this comparison of enemy skill level, happened in Guardian subforums and nobody has posted a video there since then.. People don’t want to post them anymore
