does anyone know how to get the rest of the mad king armor?
Also you gain a larger health pool when you pop this elite.
I’ve tried a variation of this build. and it is great in Spvp. Only because of the Elite Skill. Its got a long cool down, but it is great to keep the cc going.
Typically i exhaust all my mace cc first, then hammer cc, then pop the elite skill. and go nuts. its alot of cc, but this is really only good with a great team.
If you buy the greatsword from the TP you have a 99.99999% chance it will be cheaper.
You cannot give in on your values, simply don’t buy anything thats a gamble, and instead buy something that is direct purchase.
I have a firm belief that the “gambling” stuff, was not truely the Developers Idea.. Well not directly. I bet you that this came from up high, where only the money matters. The Investors and such. Developers really do have a love for the art.
But let me give you a lesson on how to speak to the money matters people. “Money Matter” people are innocent humans too and they just want to communicate with us, but their form of communication is Money. If you don’t like the way the conversation is going, then stop speaking.. Catch My Drift?
But how do you get them to understand you and what you really want? Start speaking in the avenues that you Like to be in. Buy only what you want to see more of.
If everyone right now, stopped buying keys, and started buying only direct purchase Items. then in a month from now when they see the data, they will understand you.
and I guarantee you will see more of it.
Cheers!

“It’s too late to change this event without making players mad one way or the other, but Wintersday can learn from these mistakes.”
Lets Hope So. I will keep playing until then.. otherwise there are other games that I can spend my “play to look cool” money on, like Planetside 2 where there is no gamble, and i can just feel safe spending my money.
Sigh, its just that this has been such a scandal, and it leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth.

1. Will you or will you not be buying black lion trading company or random number generation materials again?
No.
2. Did you buy them in the past?
Yes
3. If you would not buy trading post material/gamble, would you support direct to buy weapon skins and what general price do you find acceptable from a business standpoint both as a customer and realizing that they must make money as a business?
Yes I would buy them directly for a $5.00 for a cool skin. $10 for something spectacular, but i would want to see a demo first so that i know if its worth it.
4. Do you believe that future events will also be handled with random number generation to make profit based on limited time item acquisition?
Yes, but i have hope, and i think Anet will sell direct if they want my monies.
5. If you believe that the future events will be handled in the same manner, does this realization negatively effect your trust of Arena Net in regard to handling micro transactions for permanent content?
Yes & No.. Trust has been broken, but “once bitten twice shy” also means that Im still willing to give them another chance, so I will keep playing until my heart gets broken one more time. Then I will know for sure if Anet is ready to play ball or get kicked from the team.
6. Did you obtain a skin or whatever it is you were looking to get from the black lion trading chests? From the Mad King Chests?
No.
there is a obvious reason. the sword skin just plain sucks, the greatsword skin is just plain great. Thus the difference in price.
when you got 800 displeased responses in a thread the first 12 hrs of an event you have done something wrong.+
+1
if your sick of reading about it, then dont read about it..
ITS YOUR CHOISE!!!
Take my money too, Please let us Pay for Skins DIRECTLY with GEMS.. i want 100% guarantee to get the item. I don’t care if it costs 1000 gems.
Boils down to consumer market mentality.
Opened 10 chests, – I did not get any halloween anything. Not paying for more keys,
why? because i felt ripped off, and now im kitten off. Im entitled to get something for my money. No one cares about what else is in those chests.
Opened 10 chests, – I did get something halloween related, id pay for more keys.
Well, i didnt get what i want, but it looks like my money actually got me something related to halloween, I’ll try my luck again because i saw a result the first time, and I feel like trying for rare item, if I dont get it but i get something else, atleast i feel like my money was worth something.
Please, Give something to us that is no RNG. I Hate RNG, many other people do. I don’t mind spending money, I just don’t want to gamble on it. In Fact if all the new skins were in the gemstore for a direct trade of gems for the skin, Id buy them all immediately.
I feel cheated if I spend money on something and get nothing for it.. Just give it to use for gems. Please!
Actually you can get all this items really fast O.O mobs drops like crazy, so this is actually nothing to complain, go AHEAD and check the black lion’s chest, that’s the only issue to be honest, a guy in my guild, for 8g already made a weapon… so really chest are the worst thing, this is actually doable and nice.
yeah what mobs?
Forget this, Anet you really suck.
Why would you do this crap. Its a friggin HOLIDAY or crying out loud. Give us something FUN. Give it to us.. dont make us work so hard for it.
Is it just me or are Survivability warriors nothing compared to guardians?
in Warrior
Posted by: Wyrdthane.6801
the aoe shout build for warrior, this does agreat amount of healing as you say but also a great amount of dps, much more than a gaurdian can do with the same amount of healing..
care to share this build with us please?
@ Rockaholic: no im not a mesmer though i plan on making an alt mesmer at some point, because i know they are really fun to play.
@Xyrm: So I haven’t had a problem with a Shatter Mesmer yet. Honestly though, Shatter mesmers tend to do the most damage to me before they die under my hammer. And oddly enough even with your detailed explanation of how mesmers can escape me, not ONE has been able to.
Actually, the toughest mesmers for me to defeat are Toughness Spec Mesmers, with illusions that last more than one or two hits.
No they wont be..
I feel like Anet does not care. No consideration was made to the repercussions, when they decided to make server transfers free. Why would they even consider it now? Have they Mentioned they even acknowledge there IS a problem?
Hammer Every Time.
@ Runeblade : about Mace skill 2, I would spam it even if you are trying to dps, because you can double tap that skill and it will give you Adrenaline instead of blocking. Adrenaline you can use to Burst Stun your Target.

Mesmer sees berserker buff.
He casts explode.
Warrior is hit by explode for 18000 damage.
Dear Sir:
It goes more like this,
“Mesmer Casts Explode, and nothing happens, because all his Illusions are Dead.”
“Mesmer gets Flustered and looses his cool, as he watches his HP wash Away”
I kindly thank you for bringing that up, as it allows me to mention this:
- the way to kill a mesmer is to kill his illusions at the same time you are killing him
Oh how do you accomplish this?
- By wielding a hammer and letting the splash damage from the third auto-attack do all the work, while at the same time, staying focused on the mesmer.
“Shouts recharge 20% Faster” or “Shrug it Off”
Well I have tried out Both. The Reasoning behind choosing “Shrug it Off” over the other one is that when Coupled with the “Vigorous Shouts” trait & “Rune of Soldier” you are getting a free 1400ish heal and free removal of 2 conditions Every 30 Seconds.
Free meaning you don’t have to think about it. It just happens as a result of being where you should be, And that is Fighting the Mesmer with crap Tons of HP & HP renewal & Condition Removal.
If you’re Choosing “lung capacity”, then you are opting out of the Passive Heals and Condition Removal, for faster Shout Recharges. This is a great option too, if you are able to spam and time those shouts really well. But the 20% does not fully translate into a fourth shout of your choice, if thats what your thinking.
Having tried Both options out, I can say that with “shrug it Off” i am using my actual shouts less often, and when I actually need them instead of trying to twist them like a bard might, just to take advantage of the 20% for “lung capacity”. This free’s up my Mind and Body to focus on the fight and what that blasted Mesmer is doing.
On A Side Note, “shrug it off” casts “shake it off” every 30 seconds, and that includes a Stun-breaker as well as Condition Removal x2 and a 1400ish Heal.
Keep in mind, this only works really well with the Rune of the Soldier. This gets you the Double Condition removal, on any “Shake it Off”, and that is where using “shrug it off” really shines. You can remove 4 conditions in the blink of an eye, and still have two shouts left over.
With this Combination, I am able to stay in a fight for a very long time. I have counted 1v6 for a full “12 Mississippi’s”. This is a Long time to stay alive against 6 people. And most of that time im just Circle Strafing, using my CC abilities with my hammer, and dodging once in a while.
How do I do this? “Turtles Defence” in the defence trait line. This give me an Extra 200 toughness when CC’d basically. So really the only conditions Im worried about are Burning, Poison, and Bleeding. Everything else I leave on and just circle strafe, keeping up that 200 toughness keeps me alive longer. I also take “last stand” and that gives me 8 seconds of Stability so that I can keep the Circle Strafe going.
Ok Forget Frenzy too. I just tried this out without frenzy and added an extra shout. Still Works for killing mesmers and Helps my team out much more.
(edited by Wyrdthane.6801)
Then i have the simplest solution to killing them.
Hammer. Auto-Attack. Frenzy.
Done Deal, No more Illusion Army. The 3rd auto-attack on Hammer will decimate all illusions. I have Hated fighting against the Mesmer kittens, they were the bane of my existence… and now I am Theirs. Muahahahha!! I have defeated dozens of mesmers this way, even 2v1.
Im Traited all Defence and Tactics, I use Shouts to heal, Healing Signet, Defense minor trait heals on Adrenaline, Rune of the Soldier for INSANE condition removal, make sure you trait the Auto Shake It Off every 30 seconds too.
Now I hunt the Mesmer.! Happy Halloween =3
100% free market is a bad idea IMHO.
Gems need to match gold sellers prices on a daily basis.
I think that Gem prices need to be controlled by Anet, so that they can match gold sellers prices. Why they haven’t already done this, makes zero sense to me.
Absolutely Yes. Best game evar.
Dont worry so much, the game JUST came out. New Stuff will be implemented sooner or later,
Anet has no choice, and im sure that for 95% of the Dev’s it is BY CHOICE… to continue to update the game in ways that will keep their customers around longer. Endgame WvW – PvE – PvP content is going to happen, just be patient man.
look at the changes being made for sPvP already. They are making huge awesome changes for sPvP first it looks like. Then when that is done, they have plans for some really cool kitten for WvW and PvE..
GUARANTEED!!!!
this is Anet guys.. seriously now.
Can anyone confirm if you can Stack to +60% chill duration ?
2 x Superior Runes of Grenth.
2 x Superior Runes of Ice.
2 x Superior Runes of Svanir.
Should give you +60% chill duration which would be pretty nice, but I cant tell if its working or not.
I can confirm that Arcane Energy does not work, unless you are “In The Mists” .
PvE & WvW it does not work in any way shape or form.
I have a lvl 80 Ele. and I have to say, that after the SB nerf, my ranger is still much more powerful than my ele. Easier to play well, easier to survive, and more DPS by a very large margin.
No complaints about the SB patch.. even though it seems like its just a mistake that they will fix.
Even A ranger after their SB nerf is more fun to play.. and ranger is arguably the most boring class in the game..
all they have to do Is spam auto attack for seriously OP dammage.
That looks like a lot of fun to try out. Im very impressed with your video. I liked the music too.
can you please share the build and gear for that ele.. I really want to try this out in WvWvW, ive never really had the balls to try D/D in wvwvw till seeing your vid.
Hologramx: really? you know that it is against the law to pick up a prostitute and you will get in trouble with the law if you are caught.. you do know this right????
this happens every day, and prostitution still happens around the globe.
there is no way to Stop Gold Selling.. you have to Cull the hell out of it by doing business. right now no one wants to do business with Anet because it is too expensive.
(edited by Wyrdthane.6801)
I miss GW1 /guitar style commands..
Please please please please, bring forth the electric guitar rocker outfit, that lets you play a guitar. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!
OMG bard would be so cool. they should be able to play instruments that cause buffs and confusion and dammage and all sorts of cool things..
its never going to be pay to win. Anet stated that.. so there will be no problem with lowering the cost of gem to gold purchases. simply put they can do whatever they want, and there are some really easy ways to muscle out the competition.
question is.. does anet want to win the war or do they want to let gold selling happen.
not everyone wants to dominate everyone into complete submission.. many people, like cats, want to play with their food.. and get bored if there is no play..
Weird, i never copy pasted that…
Look.. Anet has the upper hand, they can ban gold sellers, and outprice them if they want to..
Look.. Anet has the upper hand, they can ban gold sellers, and outprice them if they want to..between bannings and being undersold they will go away to a more lucrative market.. its not hard.
Look.. Anet has the upper hand, they can ban gold sellers, and outprice them if they want to..between bannings and being undersold they will go away to a more lucrative market.. its not hard.its just business… Don’t kittenfoot around it, Ban Sellers and sell for a few pennies cheaper than they do.. they will simply go away beause they wont be able to match Anets prices while at the same time having to buy new accounts all the time.
OP: well you tell it straight, i have to say that I feel the same way about almost every point you made.
but I feel like Anet listens to its customers.. and its the customers that are being impatient with Anet. Changes are coming. Good ones. Guaranteed. Just keep posting great ideas for solutions.. but also maintain what you like about the game because they need a wall to bounce off of.
@ mcl :" You’re simply wrong there. Success isn’t a motivation. Success is the result of motivation."
You are correct. This is a matter of motivation, and the proof of this is in the pudding.
People swapping servers because they feel motivated by the chance to fight on a server that has a chance of winning.
all they want is a “fighting chance” and moving to a new server that seems to be in a good position to be matched up fairly is the only way of doing that right now.
maybe the solution for Anet is to keep the server transfers free… could you imagine how many customers they might loose if they simply dont want to play the game anymore because its gonna cost them money to switch to a server with a “fighting chance” ?
probably a few might be the answer.
I have never seen a game that was able to stop the gold sellers completely.. Does anyone know of a game that has accomplished this feat? I mean honestly, there is so much money in it to be had that if you delete an account, they just buy a new one.
Lowering the cost of gold, in the Gem Store might help though.. right now as it is.. either way, it is just not worth it for me to buy gold.
Well, the saying goes.. If you cant beat them, Join them.. that is what is happening. The people who have the guts to keep playing are the ones who suffer the most. Everyone else just Transfers Servers.
So yes, everyone who responds with, hey we should stick it out and thats the way it should be, might be right but, they are the ones getting left behind.
you need to watch some WvW warrior videos. go to the warrior forums and find some posts.. and guildwars2guru pvp forums have lots of those.
re; mcl,
of course, but this is a game not real life. and honestly it is much more fun for all parties involved (winner and looser) to have a more balanced fight.
why bother even fighting if your loosing 500,000 points. which is the current problem on some servers..
the winning team gets bored for 2 weeks… TWO WHOLE WEEKS!!!!!!!
thats just not fun. something is broken when a GAME is NOT FUN.
Yes, it’s a game. It’s a game you lose if you don’t try.
You didn’t start the match week down by 500,000 points. You got there because everyone on your server QUIT. Plain and simple.
I’ll repeat it, since you missed it:
“Why are we losing?”
“We don’t have enough people!”
“Why don’t we have enough people?”
“Everyone quit queuing because we were losing!”…it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.
That cycle starts when a server is down by about 20,000 points or so. Which is a completely recoverable shortfall. But since kids these days (yes, I’m old) seem to think quitting is preferable to losing, and since they’ve been raised to believe everyone should win, you all just give up. And then you blame the game rather than yourselves for losing.
Here’s the truth: You lost because you quit. And you quit because you thought you were losing.
Want to win? Stay and fight. Don’t run away crying like a coward, and demand the game be changed to make you feel better about the fact that every single match, 2/3s of all servers in GW2 will lose.
Losing sucks. Nobody likes to lose. But 2/3rds of everyone playing this game MUST lose every week. There can be only one winner in each bracket of 3 servers.
The only solution to losing is to suck it up and try harder. Or resign yourself to the fact that you will continue to lose in perpetuity. That’s been true since time immemorial.
ok, you are %100 correct about this.
but what you are not seeing, is that this is a game. If people are not having fun, they move on.
while you seem to be confusing a video game with a sport. Lets boil this down to, if you love the game, and want it to stay around as long as WoW has, then you should nurse and care for its players,, EVEN THE WHINERS that you would kick out if you could. They want to have fun too.
for every 10% in term of points a server is behind from the leading server, they should gain a buff that increases damage and damage reduction by 1%. so say a score is 500000 to 5000, to server with 5000 points will get 100% damage increase and 100% damage reduction. yes, you are invulnerable.
ridiculous, and not productive to any post anywhere. i hope the forum mod is as harsh on you as they are on me, and delete your useless post.
I don’t see how this is not productive. The example is the most extreme case. In a normal match, the buff isn’t even going to take effect (maybe 1% reduction at most). The more you’re losing, the more help you should be getting.
The problem with this buff is at the beginning of a match. Maybe the buff will only be effective after xxx days.
Maybe it was helpful in eliminating one idea that is a for sure fail. in that case, gj.
Explain your reasoning please. just calling an idea “FAIL” doesn’t justify. if your reasoning make sense, then i’ll agree.
Your original idea was to make everyone invulnerable…. you cant believe that this is the answer.
re; mcl,

thats just not fun. something is broken when a GAME is NOT FUN.
Because the score of other worlds is not relevant. You don’t get a thing for winning. You do get stuff for participating though (bonuses). Your score is important. The other worlds scores, not important.
Its a game, and the whole point it to keep the players playing it longer.. if your current system is not working,, then you must change it..
this is what we a discussing.
The main purpose of the points is to determine which worlds to match you against. If you start putting in things that artificially inflate your points, you’ll just end up fighting even tougher servers. This would make the situation worse, not better.
Kaineng just gets left behind then. because they have never been matched evenly. Something just isnt working. Its working for the servers at the top.. but for the hundreds of thousands of players in the bottom servers, the WvW is kind of pointless.
Anyways, in rebuttal; you don’t need to ‘artifically inflate points’, no one said that. you just need to provide a little help so that the loosing team can keep their points at that ever elusive “fighting chance” place. give them some tools to get there, don’t just give them free points.. because then you would be %100 correct..
but if you give them the tools to climb up to that spot, they will want to keep playing.
I have to agree with this.. Anything to help balance.
Its only getting worse becouse many losers transfer to server they think are winning team thats why WvWvW for many servers sucks:(
These constant transfer is killing WvWvW.
i agree. the transferring should never have happened.. but its kind of too late, for that.
and aparently the outnumbered buff is just not enough to help swing things back into a “fighting chance” philosophy.
