Guild Wars 2

I was in the same match, also got desertion.

Will we get our rating back for this?

Yes it’s crap now. As someone mentioned earlier you’ll see 1-sec spikes of 15k but overall the damage is just too low to be viable.

Generally the patch is ok. Patch-size is neither too small nor too big.

Content-wise (Shatterer & Lunar New Year), very good.

My main issue is with the “balancing”. I do not disagree with what was buffed and nerfed, but rather in the way how.

The thief AA buff needs little explaining.. A few weeks ago Revenant sword AA was nerfed because the damage promoted using only autoattacks, and now Thief is buffed in exactly the opposite way: by promoting autoattacks. Very weird.

Berserker (warrior) nerfs were done in the wrong way also, I believe.
Scorched Earth for example. While it needed a nerf, a 50% nerf is too harsh. Nerfing the elements of a skill that require the most effort, player-skill, and positioning (trying to get 2 AoE’s on a single enemy) is wrong. Instead, why not do a flat-out damage nerf? Reduce the burn duration by 20%, then see what happens. Still too strong? Take off another 10%.

This also goes for other classes and other skills, and balancing in general. Please do balancing in smaller steps to avoid completely smashing a class or play style into the ground.

Lastly, some skills and traits are completely overlooked. Berserkers got a nice unique effect with fire auras, which sadly requires the use of generally useless Rage skills. Meanwhile this was a prime opportunity to buff/fix Powerful Synergy, a grandmaster trait which is supposed to grant double leap finishers (hey hey, fire auras when combined with a fire field), yet literally does nothing.

Causes ruined ore/logs/fibers. Tested with gemstore gathering tools.

Would you like to move to a more populated version of this same map?

The map is full, we have over 70 people on Teamspeak who are also in the map, and then this? IP 206.127.159.233:0, check it out Anet.

It happens when you go for a swim (such as in Swampland fractal).

Fractals level 41-50.

I hope the devs don’t waste their precious time on sab. There are important things to work on.

Potoni the Massive achievement/mastery point did not trigger after defeating him.

SirServed.5693:

Your map needs to reach Tier 4 during the Day AND Night cycles for the Bladed Coat Box, according to: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bladed_Coat_Box

While I don’t know if it’s actually required that Tier 4 be met at both day and night, the chest dropped for the whole map after my guild did this.

Same here, avoided all vines during the climb and the fight (just to be sure), no achievement.

The “Protected Zildi” does not work for me either.

I’m not sure if they are bugged but I think you get them for (as the description says) DEFENDING Tarir, not for the assault (which is what most people do). After the assault people grab their chests and leave the map, but like 5 minutes later the defend event starts (get pylons again). I think these defend events drop the commendations.

This is a bit of a problem as nobody does the defend event and it’s hard if not impossible to solo.

Can confirm

-Fixed a server crash

3 years of fun for 60$? Yes please.

Purple Miku.7032:

Right now there is no circumstance in which condi builds are higher DPS than power builds for warrior in PvE so don’t freak out about it.

What’s the point of adding condition based stuff if it’s not going to be used anyway?

Like shield, no chance of this ever getting used unless they add a 3rd weaponslot or rework literally all warrior traits.

Is this a joke? BUFFS?!

What the hell

Do minions count as allies? i.e. does it trigger when they attack?

Thaddeus.4891:

You get mystic stones from achievement chest. I have like 300 mystic stone right now and I use Mystic salvage kit on all my character. Just play the game and you should get more mystic stone than you use.

For the basic salvage kit, then it would be nice to have a recipe to craft a 250 use salvage kit I guess. But if you don’t want to buy a copper fed kit that’s kind of your problem. At 150 gold, it’s one of the best investment of the game. It’s just so nice. And it’s on sale sometime.

Well if you compare it with Mystic Salvage kits it only breaks even after like 1,4million uses.. I’m gonna assume most players will never get that much… so it’s not that good of an investment.

Main warrior here. This change is great, and it’s not a nerf.

How do you even get 30 bleeds in AC? Doesn’t your keyboard have a V button?

Well in the trailer he can be seen using Sohothin, so he still has it.

Hello,

The sexual preferences of others are none of your kitten business.

Greetings from the other side of the Atlantic, where basic human rights -such as gay marriage- are considered normal.

Be sure to visit sometime.

ITT: people autoattacking the additional targets (such as legs) instead of the actual boss. Stop using that ranged autoattack and start doing useful stuff.

Then again simply doubling the HP of bosses is not a good solution. They need to deal way more damage.

Just remove the extra character slot from the standard edition and all problems are solved.

Sure, but DO YOU EVEN JUMP?

Yes but can’t you get higher precision now because of the increase in stats and the way specializations work?

Pfft. Anyone who tries attacking Divinity’s Reach will provoke the never-ending wrath of our glorious Unseen gods.

Come and try, mortals. I, for one, welcome the return of our Mursaat overlords.

Tachenon.5270:

I sold mine for around 90 gold back then. To this day, it remains the single most valuable drop I’ve ever got. Second most valuable: a second celestial dye. Who says GW2 loot sucks?

Anyone who hasn’t received a Molten Jetpack as a drop.

Fauven.3195:

teq skins CAN be crafted now. It needs an exotic version of the insignia you wish to convert. And luckily there exists a rabid intricate gossamer insignia. It’s from salvaging only though but more certain then teq

Wrong, devs have confirmed you CANNOT craft Teq skins.

Use one of your old character slots.

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

The one thing I’m not sure about is whether you get to unlock another skin by changing the stats. I could see them working the mechanics either way.

Yes you get the new skin as well. It’s not really stat changing, it’s crafting a new item.

If anyone is talking about “unlimited” tools or bag upgrades they most likely mean this: http://i.imgur.com/jSgoNBX.png

Then again I don’t understand why anyone would think they are part of the expansion.

Why would you even pay 60$ for the base game? You can get the base game for 20$

Once the dragons are gone, our glorious Unseen overlords will finally return.

Also Vigor (applied by Call to Arms) is nerfed, which hurts the warhorn even more.

Title.

Well yeah Primordus has awakened long ago. It’s basically just the dwarves fighting the destroyers “in the depths” and slowly losing, so the destroyers pop up above the ground.

For a change, no complaints about the standard edition here.

Is there any way I can buy the expansion with dollars instead of euro’s?
The prices are the same even though the euro is worth more than the dollar.

Randulf.7614:

Kilroy Stonekin will be the elite

You heard it here first

This is the only logical Legend.

The worst is that it clips with the only legendary shield in the game

I don’t think “ressing for exp” was ever a thing.

Downed players will still be revived because it is still necessary.
Defeated players will still NOT be revived because it is still a waste of time.

Black Dye some months after the game released. It was worth a few gold.

Over 2700 hours atm.

emikochan.8504:

Well they won’t be dashing away as quickly as before, so it’s not a complete loss.

Yeah except warriors will be able to roleplay as Usain Bolt in PvP with chill and cripple on them, because it makes so much sense for somebody limping around in agony to be able to leap and dash the same distance as he would in a healthy state.

#VideoGameLogic

It also makes so much sense to recover from your ankle being cut through in a matter of seconds… or to continue walking after someone smashed you with a huge hammer…

Might as well add all other junk items to the wallet.

Dragonite Ore.
Empyreal Shards.
Ascended rings.
Boosters.
Hairy spider legs.
Medium armor.
Custom arena tokens.

Well scrolls of knowledge don’t give levels…. so….

yeah.

If it would be an armor set, yes

Two words: major clipping.
