Solo queue is you queing solo with 4 other randoms who also queue solo. Team queue is premade 5v5 where you need a team to queue. Solo arena is just like spvp except it caps players at 5v5, you are not queing for 1v1 matches and it’s kinda funny that anyone would think it works like that.
It is working as intended like that too, so before coming back here and complaining saying “well that’s dumb” keep in mind these maps were not meant for 1v1 and believing they were is kind of kitten y.

Honestly, I don’t think you’re fully understanding exactly what’s going on. Most people are moving right along with it. If you have ever been put in an overflow map, your perfectly capable of playing this content. Nothing RNG about it.
I don’t think you understand. I cannot play this content. It will not allow me to.
I went to the invasion zone as stated on my event reminder, ‘Blazeridge Steppes’. Only there was no invasion in Blazeridge Steppes. I was placed in an overflow and COULD NOT COMPLETE THE CONTENT.
Do you understand?
Can you not read? Half the people in this thread have told you exactly why you got put into an overflow that did not have the event. Half the people have told you what to do after the last step you did in the story chain. Why do you keep posting saying you do not understand when you have failed to even read what people have suggested to you?
Read what people have been writing it explains everything you have to do to progress or even why you got an overflow without an event. Read a guide online, they do not bite and most of the time they are a better resource for new content in mmos than what designers say themselves. If both of those are too much for you I would highly suggest quitting, it seems even minimal effort is too much for you, if sub minimal is the best you can put into an mmo you should not be playing said mmo.
Sorry(not really) you spent a minimal amount of time farming what you’ve probably been doing since the event came out in an attempt to get far more gold than you should have for the effort you put into the content. Maybe next time you’ll learn that this company does not like people having an easy way to farm and you’ll prepare for the eventual nerf.
Look at event tracker. Go to zone. Kill things. There is no NPC hand-holding with this event. Just talk to Vorpp to get it started then jump into an invasion.
If you don’t utilize 3rd party sites, at least read the patch notes.
Okay. It said “Scarlet’s minions are attacking Blazeridge Steppes.” I went there and it says “Scarlet’s minions are not attacking this world. Please return to your homeworld when prompted.”
WhatTheFlyingKitten?!?! is that supposed to mean? How do I progress this stupid aimless content patch?
Do the events, that is the only way to do the majority of the achievements or even progress the story. You entered an overflow that did not have the event running, next time go there faster, they start at the beginning of every hour. Chances are high if you go there 20+ mins after it’s started you will not have any events on the map because it did not place you into an overflow with them running.
So, I have to literally watch the clock, follow a gaming schedule, hope my internet doesn’t lag and cross my fingers in hopes that the coding will let me into a living story event? Then I have to repeat that 4 more times in order to see the rest of the story?
Does no one else see a major problem with this content design? People will literally not be able to complete the content because of the spin of a RNG roulette wheel called ‘overflow’.
My game is broken, ArenaNet. I can’t play it. It won’t let me.
There’s nothing wrong with the game design, that is how mmos are, that is how the game you are playing is. Your game is perfectly fine if you actually read the guy right under me explain how overflows work for these events. If the common mmo design philosophy bothers you then again this is not the genre for you.
If playing a few hours every week or 2 is how you play then i’d highly suggest reading fansites to help along with completing the events if they interest you at all. It’s fairly common for mmo fansites to explain things in more detail than the designers do for the game itself. If putting any(even minimal) amount of effort into looking into current events is too much then I’d highly suggest a different genre or just focusing on something ingame that isn’t the newest timed events because they seem too much for you.

I’d guess he doesn’t “do” reading what other people write in his thread where he’s asking for help either. I’ve explained it plain as day along with several other people so far and you’re still saying you do not understand what to do, if you want more than what has been explained then i’d suggest playing something else because it’s against the tos for someone to play the game for you.
This is not WoW, this game and many other mmos do not hold your hand through everything outside of arena and heroic raiding. If reading fansites or even what A-net has posted themselves then the best thing that can be suggested is mmos are not the genre for you.
With the current price of gold to gems unless you got extremely lucky you’re pretty much guaranteed to spend 3x or more getting keys than what it would cost to just buy the skins. Not sure if people are just idiots or somehow a lot of people have won the rng lottery but the 55-60g for a skin is laughable compared to the cost of gems(with gold) to buy enough boxes to get 10 scraps(it’s literaly winning the lottery if you somehow get a full ticket).
I must be playing a different game than you. I still have no clue what you are talking about.
Hourly events?
Event box?
5 events to access pavilion?You may as well be speaking Canthan. Nothing of what you said makes any sense to me whatsoever.
I just want to know, what do I do after talking to Vorpp is Ascalon Settlement? Where do I go? Who do I talk to? None of that is being pointed out to me in-game.
Top right of your screen and everyone elses there is a box that shows where an event is going on, they happen at the start of every hour and last for 35-45mins depending on how fast the map zerg is. It’s the same thing you said you didn’t have time for and yet still do not understand where you should go from the quest you just did.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 2 weeks the pavilion is from the last event something that I guess you didn’t do or know about either since you’re asking about it. To continue with where you left off you have to do 5 of the hourly events to access the rest of the story and open up the pavilion again with the new event in it.
I don’t have time for that.
Looks like someone won’t be doing the event then or getting the meta. It actually explains fairly well what needs to be done at that part in the questline considering the box that shows wjere events are is always on your screen staring at you.
The achievement line you started is not for anything more than to get back into the pavilion and do the achievements in there, it has very little to do with the core of what was added with this event(which is the worldwide events that go on once an hour).
I haven’t gotten a meta achievement since….I can’t remember when.
And no, it explains absolutely nothing. If it did, I would be in-game and not here.
The fact is, despite what you people are saying, I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing right now. My character is still standing in Ascalon Settlement, scratching his head.
It’s been explained multiple times, do the hourly events that go on to progress the storyline and get back into the pavilion. The box that shows where the events are is starting you right in the face on the top right corner of your screen. Unless for some reason you can’t read, it shows entirely what to do and where the events take place.
It really doesn’t get any easier than that, if though you do not want to do the events to progress the storyline then the event is done for you. You have to do 5 events once you get on that part of the chain to get any farther in the storyline and access the pavilion again where there’s also a new event.
I don’t have time for that.

No one ever said it had to be “part” of the 5/5 dailies for the chest, it can be part of the 5/5 or it can even be done after, never had to stop at the 5 needed for the daily chest.
Well there’s not exactly a way to say this without sounding like an kitten so here it is. There’s 13 event achievements, you need 16 achievements for the meta, now 16 minus 13 is?
Basic math can even be learned in video games, how about that.

Hey MasterYoda – It looks like we suggested deleting the local.dat file and following up with a repair. How did that work out for you?
Thing is though you can’t tell the majority of players to do this unless you shove it down their throats when they log in. There’s quite a few players that never get on the forums and will never see this “potential” fix.
This isn’t just a small minority of people having this issue, I even asked in my own guild yesterday and got 43 people(out of the 60 on at the time) saying they’ve gotten anywhere from 5-30secs of extra time added to most loading screens. Most of this seems to have been after the 6hr maintenance the other night, idk everything that goes on during a games maint but when it affects loading screen times in a negative way something somewhere had to have gone wrong during said maint.

If you don’t understand the reason why you failed; how in the world do you plan on succeeding?
Life lessons in a vidya gaem? blasphemy.
There’s no way to check since dailies go away after each rese. However it’s a good indication that it wasn’t done if you have all the other event achievements done and have done atleast 2 dailies and are short 1 for the event.
I guess I just suck then.
Sums up some of the problems people in this thread or ingame seem to be having. I’ve seen people sit on the first t1 boss the entire 2mins before falling. They obviously got the mechanics to live for that long but you actually have to hit some abilities every now and then to come out ahead.
Not saying that’s everyones problem but when mechanics are known and you’re able to take advantage of them and still come up short it’s a player problem not a-net. You need some dmg in there along with being able to avoid mechanics, full tank gear won’t get you far even if you’re a skilled player.
Did you do the daily before the first reset though? It takes 3 dailies including all 13 event achievements to currently finish the meta.
Ascended Celestial has 2 more stats than Exotic Celestial.
Exotic Celestial has 2% more MF than Ascended Celestial.This is each piece on average. The total difference is
3 all stats, 2% MF on amulet.
2 all stats, 2% MF on accessories.
2 all stats, 2% MF on rings.Total difference using Ascended Celestial vs Exotic Celestial:
11 all stats vs 10% MF.So yes, the difference is 10+ all stats… over the course of all the Celestial Trinkets, and barely.
Uhh…wut? Have you seen the stat difference between exotic and ascended accessories? Let’s compare amulet alone, an exotic celestial ammy is +40 to all stats and +3% mf/5% cd, now an ascended celestial ammy is +54 all stats +4%mf/8% cd. Where exactly are you getting +2 stats? While I haven’t looked at other celestial exotic accessories I can guarantee it’s quite a bit more than +2 stats if ammy alone is +14, ascended also has more mf so not sure where you got that either.
Now lets say the ascended armor(which is not in yet and will be no matter how much qq there is) is about inline with how the ammy worked between exotic and ascended. Let’s just say to be safe it’s +8 stats(could be more could be slightly less) to all difference between the 2, You are looking at +48 stats between 6 pieces of gear “if” you have full celestial when compared to the current exotic pieces. Now tell me how is +48 to all stats over current exotics a “small” amount?
If you’re putting runes into this then yes it would be a much smaller difference. However it’s pretty laughable to think they’ll make ascended armor only slightly more powerful than exotic(with runes), they’ve already talked about a good time commitment to make ascended so it’s just about guaranteed you’ll be putting in more than infusions in those slots.

That’s what make the fight interesting. If you could just face tank autoattack, what’s the point.
Would you please stop accusing people of only auto attacking! I’m sick of hearing this whenever someone is trying to express that a certain mechanic is stupid. People like you come on here and claim it’s challenging instead, as away to imply you’re the most brilliant player above all others and no challenge is too great for you. Well good for you but stop belittling other players!
I don’t just use auto attack. i use all my skill…always…on all my classes thank you, as i’m sure most other people do as well.
People keep saying you autoattack because there are clear signs or mechanics to dodge or negate the one shot attacks, which a lot of them are easy to avoid unless you were just sitting there face tanking it.
That’s what make the fight interesting. If you could just face tank autoattack, what’s the point.
It doesn’t make the fight challenging when it’s all luck based. You need luck so she doesn’t place the light portals on the very edge of the arena, making it harder to walk visions into them.
You need luck on where she decides to place the aoe, either forcing too many dodges in a row or allowing for endurance to regen. You need luck where the visions spawn, so you don’t constantly get mobbed as not only do you need to kite this ridiculous mob of visions while the boss is wailing on you and you got a 2 min limit on beating her.
The op wasn’t talking about the final t3 boss though, which yes has some luck to do with it. They were talking about the very first t1 bosses which have absolutely no rng to them and have one shot mechanics(all of which can be dodged or have a mechanic to nullify them).

“I shouldn’t have to change builds”, well I guess you will never be finishing this then. There is no reason at all for any class(other than guardians) to run a full on tank build like you have in pve content. You have to expect certain things changing when going from what I would guess your usualy wpvp to pve.
One shot mechanics make this more about skill than anything else could, the entire point is to dodge them or find the mechanic to nullify them. If you can sit there and face tank every single ability with your tank build where is the challenge? I don’t care if you have to make aoe circles for abilities that’s part of the challenge also to know the difference between what the enemy is doing and what you are and being aware f your surroundings while you cast said ability.
Depends on how much your class values all the stats from celestial gear, also if you value the mf at all when it’s just about guaranteed to be removed soon(even though you may be able to change stats on the gear).
Also depends on the definition of “slight stat difference” because looking at the difference between rare/ascended celestial accessories is more than 10+ all stats on the ascended piece so you’re looking at 60-70+ if you have all 6 armor pieces as ascended which isn’t “slight”. So the question you need to ask yourself is are the 60-70+ stats worth the wait when no ones even knows how long it will take to make a single ascended piece.
So did you get one shot by the first boss? because if so then yes that is intentional. If you could stand in one place kitten ing on the bosses that wouldn’t be any sort of challenge, the one shot mechanics or mechanics in general are there to test your skill at moving while still being able to do the dmg and survive.
Looking up a guide beforehand helps tremendously if you’re not the very first person going in and testing the mechincs to write a guide.
The event will last 4 weeks like the last few events that started at the beginning of the month have. There will however be an addition to the story after 2 weeks and that will only last the remaining 2 weeks of the jubilee.
You only get 5 aps for the first 6 games you play, after that the only thing infinite is the bag there are no more aps from doing more. And since this achievement is retroactive with the last living story event you probably got those 5 aps already during the story.
All the other achievements for this event however are working as intended where once you reach a new tier you get the aps for it.
Hey…..it could have been Trahearne, think about that for a second.
Each character having their own progression got thrown out the window when they made the wallet that combines almost everything else for an account. Would be nice has account wide dyes or atleast rare dyes.
You had 2 weeks to make use of this infusion(most likely farming cof). If you notice it says “all drops”, even without dungeon bosses dropping gold there’s still everything else.
It would be one thing if they completely removed gold drops from mobs, but aslong as most things still drop coins any complaint about buying atleast the gold infusion is meaningless especially if anyone saw the post first and still bought it thinking it was nothing.
Yeah, exotics are too expensive for notBiS gear :o
Too expensive as in? Like 10-20g on the ah to get a full set? or like 240k or so karma? For exotics to be the current bis gearing up in them is beyond laughable compared to even on of the most casual mmos out there(WoW).
Unless you want the most expensive look there is there is absolutely no excuse to use the whole “too expensive” phrase when even getting a terrible look is nothing in price, and hey you can always change the look of it later with stones so that 10-20g of terrible looking gear will now be able to look like whatever you want.
Definitely could have used some work on how they phrased it as until I finished 5/5 dailies for the day I just considered it a bug.
That’s not an issue with the game though or even with A-net on abilities. That is entirely an issue on that persons end and no amount of complaints about jumping puzzles will fix that, it’s either a get better internet issue or wtf are you doing playing this game with lag that bad issue. A disability is one thing to have a word on when it comes to accessability but user lag holds no ground when it comes to whether or not something should be handled differently with events.
I don’t think that getting to the top can be even considered as jumping puzzle. You have only 3 jumps (which are painfuly easy) to do, the rest is just automatic transporation with lightning element.
The jumps are not painfully easy. I have tried every day for two weeks to get by them and I still haven’t been able to pass them. The last living story and now this one, are nothing but an exercise in frustration and embarrassment.
But they are if you spend the 5 extra seconds to get the lightning pull ability that makes them not even worth mentioning as jumps. Again maybe it’s not just my opinion but not all games(especially mmos) are meant for everyone. If a disability is really affecting even base game mechanics that much for you then it really is time to move on. If you’re trying to prove a point by playing with a disability then good for you but when even the simplist of mechanics is so challenging that it’s near impossible then it is time to move on.
It’s been said multiple times there is 0 actual jumping involved if you get the lightning pull ability. If asking a Mesmer for help to get over 3 simple jumps that you can even bypass the jumping with a different ability is too much then how exactly are you even capable of playing the game?
The Aetherblade diving I can understand as I haven’t even done it yet(granted I never asked for help) but if asking for help or even taking the extra 5secs to get the ability is too much then how is it even possible to move let alone kill mobs? It’s literally point at the platform with the ability and fly to it, there is no jumping involved.
This is an mmo and as such it’s meant to be played with other people or atleast have some interaction with them. I honestly can’t tell if you’re telling the truth with your disability or if you’re somehow trying to make this into bashing jumping puzzles for being too hard for some(which this isn’t a jumping puzzle unless you’re going after certain achievements). If you actually are telling the truth then really the best thing that can be said is games like this are not for everyone and if even the simplist of tasks is too hard even when there’s a way to make them easier then maybe it’s time to move on.
Would be amazing if there was some other way to get the karma gear there considering no one cares to even step foot out of Lions arch to do anything worth mentioning in Orr.
Meanwhile a unique looking set and nice way to start off at max level through karma earned is wasted because a temple in Orr requires 15+ people and you’re lucky to get a group of 5 for it.
