Guild Wars 2

You guys seem like a really chill guild, will send you a message next time I’m on

I agree, it makes my human look bald. I feel like it’s an immensely lackluster reward compared to other specialization’s rewards just because there’s nothing I can do to stop it looking terrible.

I have had the Flameseeker prophecies since before any legendaries really had decent looking visual effects.

In over the last 2 years I have seen almost every other legendary receive improvements, skill animations and subtle buffs like auras and footsteps.

The Flameseeker prophecies has gotten none of this and is constantly overshadowed by even the underwater weapons which are rarely ever seen.

It continues to look bland and does little more than most other shields.

So devs, can you let me know if it will ever get an improvement? I’ve skinned over it with other more impressive shields for the last 6 months but I’d really love my legendary to inspire the awe that it really should, especially being such a lore centric item.

…
- you removed the animation of grenade barrage with legendaries. please revert this, it’s very very very very very annoying and i miss my grenade animations of the predator. we already have less animations with legis, don’t take us the few we have

I’d like to add that the flameseeker prophecies legendary skill effects aren’t working with barrage either, please fix!!!

Thanks for the clarification, I’m excited to use it now!

That doesn’t answer my question though.

Do we get to carry it now or something? If it’s still immobile I still wont use it. The f5 might be cool though.

That was the conclusion I came to, but I just wanted to clarify. Thanks champ.

I’m very confused about calculating the time that this is happening, has this already happened or in how many hours is it happening? Please help me out guys. I am AEST if it helps.

I worked just as hard as anyone who made a quip for their main hand, so I’m not allowed to have special effects?

When the new legendaries arrive do you think the flameseeker prophecies will receive an upgrade? I’ve sat with my shield and watched as many other legendaries received new effects, noises and watched as non legendaries received new effects. The pop gun from wintersday shoots a cork, the new crimson dragon horn has a unique sound effect.

When I throw the hardest to obtain shield in the game a scummy wooden shield gets thrown.

Quip and the Predator both give auras and change you grenades effects, they also give the player unique footsteps. My mighty book-shield can’t make me glow and doesn’t effect my grenades, but hey sometimes a page turns when I use a skill.

Am I the only person hoping that the shield will actually be a legendary again some day?

My point is that there is little to make Flameseeker stand out from other shields.

Ever since I made The Flameseeker prophecies over a year ago I have watched every other Legendary be updated and receive new effects whilst my shield remained relatively bland. I have also seen new shields enter the game that are as impressive or even better looking than the Flameseeker prophecies.

I say that the shield is comparatively bland compared to the other legendaries for the following reasons:

No skill specific animations – as a primarily Engineer player it’s really sad to see Predator and Quip effect grenades whilst my shield does nothing.

No Footprints

No Aura

Almost every other legendary in the game has an aura or footprints or even both. The underwater legendaries even have overall better looking effects and those weapons are arguably the least used legendaries in the game.

The Flameseeker prophecies glows and has a sort of force-field around it. Many other shields glow, arguably in a more impressive fashion. Examples being:

The super shields
Zodiac shield
Tormented shield
Fractal shield
Lovestruck shield

And many more.

I would really love to see The Flameseeker Prophecies brought up to the same level as other legendaries. Here are some suggestions:

An Aura – Blue would be the obvious choice.

Footprints – Blue ghostly footprints, or even blue ethereal pages from the book.

Skill effects – Blue grenades, Ghostly faces? Ghosts or Krytan text vent off the shield when a shield skill is used.

Leave a trail of blue ethereal pages that flutter off the shield as the player runs.

Am I the only person who has this opinion? Surely I can’t be alone?

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I’d love to know if the devs have thought about this or even have it already in the works.

When Scarlet used her Engineer downed skill (booby trap) she managed to down Broham and Marjory, this doesn’t happen usually.

Engineer downed is getting buffed – confirmed.

As someone who payed real money for a molten pick I’m pretty disappointed that there is a new pick better than it.

I wasn’t concerned when the bone pick was released, because the only difference between it and the molten pick is the skin.

I think the best thing to do would be to remove the sprocket chance from the new pick.

And before anyone tells me my pick was 800 gems compared to 1000 for this new pick, realize that there are people who payed 1000 for the bone pick, and that gathering tools went to 1000 when they became account bound.

Either that or let all unlimited picks have a chance to gather the flavor of the month crafting item, whether it’s sprockets, azurite orbs, spores etc.

The best part about pistols in pve is that you can use a shield with them.

Turrets are pretty subpar at the moment so definitely stay away from them for now. The next patch might make the good, but who knows.

Try a static discharge build, take the static discharge trait, then go med kit, rifle turret, battering ram, rocket turret and supply drop. The idea is you just spam toolkit skills for static shots. Works best with a rifle and Berserker gear.

If you liked your human so much you wouldn’t have made the Charr, so pick the Charr.

The best feeling in the game is reflecting another engineer’s Net shot with the shield.

It was very hard to find armor that I deemed suitable for a Charr thief. Personally I think 90% of medium armor looks silly on Charr, the coats make the look too bulky.

It was also hard to choose a colour that was dark without being black, because I’m tired of seeing 2sneaky4you black armor and white red Altaiir/Ezios.

The armor above me is pretty cool, not enough people use the SE armor. I think the 42k Karma legs would fit your look nicely, with the knee pads they have.

As an engineer, whenever I see a thief go in to stealth I use Static shield. 99% of thieves get stunned, the other 1% lose there stealth before my Static shield is over.

100% of thieves then get poison dart volley to the face.

Dear anet,

I am asking that you give the human males more beard styles to choose from. Thank you.

Hey thieves,

I recently just dusted of my thief and decided to play it again, I need to know what armor to get though.

I’m playing sword/dagger sword/pistol and shortbow when I need it, for pve.

Should I get berserker for my armor, and then some sort of vit/toughness jewellry?

How do you equip yourself for a power build? It’s a nice change from my Engi, hitting for 1200 crits just from auto attacking things.

If stealth is so overpowered, why aren’t you playing a thief op?

Looking for SPVP guild, rank 9 engineer. I’m on sea of sorrows if it matters. I just want a coordinated group of people to do tournaments with.

Thanks for looking.

Well that was 28 days ago, you never know if you can get reply’s. I’m not forcing anything on anybody.

Original post was. Still gets updated frequently with new players showing interest. I may be arranging a group there, myself, within the next week.

Last update was 2-3 days ago for the eu server. Last update was 9 days ago aside from that. This is for NA players and also most people on that page post thing’s they are doing and there isn’t much of people actually actively putting them together. What we are doing is getting you path 4 completion that is quicker than an Arah run for a price.

If I don’t get a run in tomorrow, I will arrange a run for those that want to actually complete the content instead of buying it. And I will use that thread to do so.

Good job organizing that run through that thread yesterday. That sure seemed to work out for you.

Haven’t posted yet as I want to get a time that will work for a majority of players first. If you like, I can keep this thread apprised of the status of the free group.

The OP is offering a legitimate service for gold, and here you are hijacking his thread, shame on you.

I am not hijacking. I am pointing out a free alternative. Nothing more and nothing less.

All you needed to do was make a new thread, nothing more and nothing less. Instead you hijacked this thread.

I paid $40 for fraps and I don’t regret it, I tried all of the free screen capture programs to try and find a free alternative, but you get what you pay for, the free ones are crap.

I made a short pvp video in the eternal battlegrounds jumping puzzle,

I hope it gives you all a good laugh, let me know what you think

Hey Engineers and friends,

I made this PvP video for fun, thought you guys might be interested. I use a lot of “fun” abilities, nothing is really optimal here.

I figured that this spot in the jumping puzzle would be a lot of fun for pvp, and it turns out I was correct >:D

Thanks for watching, let me know if you have found any other ganking spots like this.

After re-rolling from Engineer to the Warrior master-class, I have fallen in love with dual axes.

Can someone please point me in the right direction to a dual axe build? Preferably with good survivability.

Thank you kindly.

Where is the earliest place I can get axes that have the t2 Sylvari cultural skin? I want them for my warrior as soon as possible!

Thanks in advance.

For the sake of your sanity, don’t go Engineer.

I’m curious to find out what sigil will increase our damage potential by 30 percent as well.

It’s sad to see that one of the good build options has been taken away. When I read the patch notes I thought the other grenades getting damage would make up for it, and that hopefully sigils could bring enough damage to the table, but this is just a joke.

With the cooldowns on sigils such as sigil of air, it’s inconceivable to think that sigils couldn’t even try to make up the damage.

Engineers have the smallest player base, and this, along with our embarrassing downed state isn’t helping our case.

Mystery tonics perhaps?

I could see this being difficult if you don’t have jump bound to any key on your keyboard.

made me laugh ^

I do my best.

I could see this being difficult if you don’t have jump bound to any key on your keyboard.

Play an Engineer, you can make extensive use of the different kits to get all sorts of combos and have an extensive selection of abilities at your disposal in combat.

You could have 6-0 Bound to Shift +1-5

Hey GW2 Forum-ers,

I just got myself a new rifle, but I want to transmute it in to a snazzier skin.

The current skin I have is the tier 2 human cultural rifle skin, It’s a really long rifle and I think it looks great, but I want something that looks more impressive.

Does anyone know of any rifle skins that are a long rifle, and also look quite ornamented?

Thanks in advance.
