Guild Wars 2

Guys she obviously meant that ascended skins will be required for raids.

None whatsoever, they are currently useless even as fluff. Maybe they’ll add something to make use of it in the future.

Harpy wannabes

It hits a total of 3 times when you target it behind the mob
-once when travelling through it
-once for explosion damage (main bulk of damage)
-once when travelling back to you

Personally, I’ve probably spent less than $100 on the game in the 2 years I’ve played..so I will be getting it regardless of the price.

If I do eventually get HoT,

I’m still going for a solo guild hall.

I mean, claiming the hall essentially requires soloing a dungeon, right? So long as it doesn’t actually require synchronized switch presses like some dungeon paths do, it should be theoretically possible to solo.

How amazing would you feel if you actually managed to claim a guild hall solo and build yourself a personal city?

Ooo I’m so gonna do this. Hmm this might even act as a “housing” system on some level for players who have been wanting the feature.

Ah..the obligatory “stop making outfits” thread

Jerus.4350:

That last sentence is what is bugging me.

It’s not so much that I think things will die so fast that they are boring, I mean we already have that if we stack up all of our offenses correctly and deep freeze.

It’s that the easy play styles are going to just tear through things where at least currently to blow things up you have to glass up quite a bit so when you do make a mistake you pay for it.

Hammer 60066 guard, 66060 War GS camping PS war, 66600 Staff Ele, Some kind of Thief, and new mesmer. You’ll tear through things and have all the safety nets you could ever need in place.

I hope that makes sense. It’s not the new max damage I’m concerned with, it’s how easy you’ll be able to replicate the speed we currently go at in a casual tour. Not that it’s all that hard right now, but at least you can die, I’m not so sure that’ll hold true when you have all this new stuff.

Oh wow I totally just realised that hammer guards are getting insanely buffed. If my memory serves me right, there is a 20% increased damage to foes in symbols and another new 10% elsewhere, stats no longer tied to trait lines, ability to fully enter 3 trait lines means insane support AND damage.
Plus phalanx warriors are getting buffed so eles never have to stack might again(no field overlap concerns). And considering eles LH is getting nerfed, its highly likely the blast fin will be taken away and warrs will just become the new might stack guy.
Man..got to start playing my guard more now.

What happened? I’ve been away from the game a while. It looks like I missed some drama.

over a month ago HoM got bugged and people got free stuff with out having gw1 or even any points… so they shutdown the HoM for everyone now no one can get the rewards they have been waiting for

Back then, whenever trying to zone to the HoM, you would crash to LA anyway. I don’t think anyone got any HoM rewards. Only free stuff they got would be achievement points and GWAMM title.

It isn’t too bad a deal at 1360 gems, copper salvage and silver salvage sold separately are 1300 gems in total but you get 3 black lion ticket scraps and 3 upgrade extractors as a bonus + other junk worth at least more than 60 gems I think.

yes it does

Not sure if implemented in this patch but:
Arah p3 jumping on the plant to skip a portion of the run after crusher/hunter no longer possible(there’s a wall now).

Yeah if you delete all your characters, you can transfer for free. Be sure to put items you want in your bank though.

It’s a lottery where you can get various stuff. 250 gems per try

Where are you getting this info? Because the chinese website only says that the update scheduled on 13 March will be postponed.

I find demolitionist a pretty cool name. it implies massive destruction while being related to engineers.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking along the same lines but was kinda wishing I could finally change into something other than zerk. Incidentally, do you know what the armor values of medium armored targets are? Is it something like belka?
I heard Anet are trying to revamp conditions but unless they separate Pvp and Pve balance, I doubt any change within the next year or two will take place.

Anyone knows if the new stat combo(major: Condi, minor: power and prec) can out dps zerk on Engineer since they do tons of condi passively and base crit damage is 50% i think. So even without investment in crit damage, attacks deal decent criticals. Assuming a drawn out battle and average to high armor on PVE mobs. Also assuming in solo situations but a comparison between in a group and solo would be nice.

More streamlined weapons like belinda’s greatsword.

I didn’t like them too until I realised you could toggle them off and on whenever you want on any character you have, even a new character without wasting any transmutation stones. Sure, it impedes creativity but I think it’s saved me quite a bit of money and some of them don’t look half bad too.

It cost way more than 168g to craft ascended light armor. Are you forgetting the bolts of damask?

Not sure if relevant but people in my block list should NOT be able to join my parties.

Was one guy from TS? I remember I ran with a guy like that that constantly called everyone “worthless”, pretended to be a zerk warrior when he was obviously a shout heal condi warrior and kicked me for not having a ranged weapon at lupi. Needless to say, he was blocked very promptly.

Thanks a bunch for the replies. I am usually the only provider of might, so the might stacks are for the most part standing at below 20. Guess I’ll be getting a new weapon with a sigil of strength on it now.

Is the sigil of strength better than force when you don’t have 25 stacks of might?

Alphard still buggy, she can reset and go back to the middle or sometimes use daggerstorm in her current position without teleporting to the middle.

Just found out wraithlord crusher(?)(the 2nd boss in p3) can now move, no more safespotting afk kill.

Yeah just did alphard again and leisurely walked out of her bomb. Now that the bomb doesn’t instantly explode, it kind of makes me miss the old mechanic/bug. At least this fight will be more tolerable with people who like to stack on her hit box.

Anyone else noticed this? Just did a p2 with pugs and everyone was getting pulled 100% of the time and the bomb didnt instant explode in their face. Might have to test it out further later, but so far it seems that it has finally been “fixed” or made easier. Easy mode alphard now
