I hope we can go in the Infinarium with premade groups or solo. Last time I logged in for wintersday, we had to go in with random people. (I think it was calld the Infinarium anyway)
Gaile gray just updated on this on reddit (instead here on their own forum) they havent found a fix formit yet. Aparantly the instances are in the pvp section of the world, and grouping would apparantly destroy the normal pvp servers.. or something like that
Thanx for the heads up. I was starting to get my hopes up.

I think…. What they should have done…. Is force everyone going through the storyline to do the “story” modes of each dungeon, before being able to move to next step of thier personal story. Maybe remove the word ‘personal’ from the storyline altogether.
I agree, getting arah done is a pita. but the reward from it is pretty lame, and doesn’t “Finish” the game anyway. It is not the “endgame”
So the people who do not like to do dungeons for personal reasons are locked out of more of the personal story than they are now?
Not everyone has a solid internet connection. Those people may avoid dungeons not because they don’t want to do them, but because they’re being nice to the other players they would be grouped with.
No thank you to this suggestion.
Well why are we forced to do the hardest dungeon of them all then?
I didn’t find it hard either of the two times I’ve done it. One with a group of friends. The other in a PUG.
I personally found Ascalonian Catacombs story to be harder and that’s the first dungeon. Keeping the lovers apart can be hard for a group of inexperienced players who aren’t level 80 and not be properly geared or have many if any traits.
Arah story mode is at least a number of missions into it after you hit level 80. Most are likely properly geared and at least have some traits if not all they want.
Slightly off topic, but there is a really easy way to keep them apart. No, I don’t mean throw rocks at them either.
OT: I was a bit miffed when I learned I had to do a dungeon to finish a personal story as well, but as others have posted, it can be duoed/(after the plates) soloed. If you really want to, I have no problem helping people out with that one. I also don’t mind if you want to watch the cutscenes.
I do understand the point of the thread, yes, just trying to offer another option for you.
Hmm..If dying in game meant dying irl (SAO before ALO arc) then my warrior.
The game mechanic I wouldn’t want to contend with: when you try to hit a mob and it’s (or you are) elevated and it just keeps saying invulnerable until the mob hits you.
The game mechanic I would wish was implemented would have to be housing. Need a place to crash if we’re gonna be living in it.
The NPC I would seek out: Countess Anise. I would volunteer to be her pet..haha.
Which zone would be home? Probably Divinity’s Reach. If they ever decided to do open world pk, then cities would most likely be the safe zone. (like in SAO)
I’m a guy, 36 (i’ll be 37 in May). I’m disabled, had a heart attack two years ago. I’ve been playing games since pen and paper D&D, then it was text based games run through a telnet client on a 56k modem. Also some bulletin boards (L.O.R.D. if anyone has ever played), then UO, and some others after.
My taste in music is eclectic, I can go from listening to Bach to Pantera or ParagonX9. My favorite color is black. I don’t take video games seriously. I have enough issues to deal with. Married three times and divorced three times, now single because I just don’t want to deal with the headaches.
Ummm…I can’t think of anything else right now, and my coffee just finished so I’ll go pour it down my throat now. :P
How come you’re always such a fussy young man
Don’t want no NPE, don’t want no Daily spam
Well, don’t you know that other kids are starving in WoW
So eat it, just eat it
Don’t want to argue, I don’t want to debate
Don’t want to hear about what kind of content you hate
You won’t get no expansion ’till you clean off your plate
So eat it
Don’t you tell me you’re bored
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an event and beat it
Have some more forced PvP, have some more WvW
It doesn’t matter if it’s something you hate
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it, ooh
Is there somewhere we can maybe sacrifice a dolyak and get a Living Story season that is not about the thrice-cursed Sylvari? The unrelenting writer’s pet-race fetishism has gone literally YEARS past being old.
Caithe as the one sensible member/window into the workings of the of the DE, well, whatever.
Trahearne as messiah was poorly executed, but it’s probably not a pattern, right?
Scarlett was a seething abomination of bad writing, and one does see a trend forming…
Now all eyes are on Caith and the rest of the walking salads and their integral role in the fate of all civilization… AGAIN.
Give. It. A. Rest.
Sure: Mordremoth. We’re committed now. But afterwards, can you maybe bench/back burner the Sylvari with the same absentmindedness that the other races have had to endure for coming up on 3 years now?
You can’t have dessert until you finish your veggies. :p (I really couldn’t help it)
In one hand, you have players who run a dungeon 15 times per hour, 20 hours per day, and are focused on maximizing performance per minute, yet lack the knowledge to programe a bot (since they are doing it to get the reward and don’t really care about the experience). Those are the ones who claim everyone with a different mentality is “lazy”, “incompetent”, etc.
In other hand, we have players who just want to have fun, and if they get to win, also get some stuff.
The first group of players don’t want to play with the second, nor the second with the first one. So let’s just split them.
Players get an option to tick a box saying they’re “Just berseker” players (“jerker” for short). Once a “jerker” has identified himself, he can only join party with other “jerkers”, and not with anyone else. Party search won’t even show, much less allow common players to join “jerker” parties, or the other way around.
This way, everyone is happy – the “jerkers” go play by themselves, and the common players go play by themselves. No need to add fancy new user interface for gear check or anything.
Maybe Anet can make a server just for them. That way they won’t have to deal with us at all. Only people with meta builds will be allowed on the server and any time you’re not adhering to the meta you get kicked from the server. Yes, it would draw resources from other departments, but in all honesty both sides have made it clear that they don’t want to play with one another.
My guess would be, once the last character in the guild is deleted, the guild is dissolved and you lose everything that was in the guild bank. Again, just a guess.
Honestly, this is just me talking, I really don’t care anymore. If they want a tool to sort out the “unwashed masses”, then go for it. I stay far away from their groups anyway. Just give me a box to tick that gives the middle finger to someone wanting to inspect me.
I want to say, you get to it from one of the explore paths. I’m not 100% sure though. I wasn’t paying attention which poi was discovered when going through.
They revamped it when they introduced the NPE. You’ll also notice “My greatest fear” (former plotline) got wiped out along with Tonn (if I remember his name correctly) and Crusader Apatia (spelling?)
No problem. Feel free to ping me in game, if I’m on, or on here. I usually just kill time till I can craft another piece of spirit wood to make my bow…3 days remaining…lol
The only other things I can think of are, trapping him or a pet with immobile. Chill would also slow him down. Trapping would only last a couple seconds, immobile would also be a couple seconds. If you have the black widow, she can immobile. I’m not sure if other pets have the f2 immobile. I haven’t really looked.
Of course, you could always try adjusting your build. Maybe add some power buff or something. Give you a bit more killing power. Do you have eagle eye and read the wind?
Sea of sorrows is EU right? If you were on an NA server I’d go with you. We can’t cross region play.
Post Script: You could try switching to greatsword when you see him. Close the gap with #3 then hit #5 to stun him for a second. Just throwing out ideas.
When I went through it, I just alternated between killing the mender and hitting the statue. If you have any knockbacks or cc they come in handy to slow the mender down. Gives you a bit more time to take it out, then go back to the statue.
You should be able to bring others in the story if you want. You’ll have to open it if you want to make the dialog choices though.
So his problem is that he can`t skip (which has been said dozens of times already) and that ONE archievment is too hard.
Basicly the whole premise of the thread is wrong and should be closed, since he was talking about the whole LS + Archievments and not one in particular.
Bottom line. We are aware that this a problem and it has allready been noted. Calm down and take on the dozen other archievments. If you don`t have OCD you should be fine.
This is not my problem. And I’ve already described this fairly clear. Learn to read.
Bottom line. If you are aware so why it’s still not fixed?
So the achievement designed to be hard was…..hard?
Apparently more than you could handle causing you to resort to name calling.
Considering people managed to successfully complete that achievement ON release day it wasn’t too hard.
The presence of a challenge mote would have been nice, but I had to go through the thing 12 times fully before I got it so bit late now.
Hard – doesn’t mean “it all based on random”. The 1st of achievemnt – Meeting the Asura – really hard (if don’t remember about stupidly long dialogs). But Dodgy crowd – fully based on random, since animation of main centaur are completely broken and casting of sand pool DO NOT have any special animation.
“only true nolifers able to complete it” Learn to read eh? Try harder next time.
I took a “turtle” approach to that one. (if it’s the one with the mouth, haven’t done ps in a while). When he launched something at me, I ran behind one of the pillars and saved a dodge for when I couldn’t get to a pillar. Then, between staff #5, Ice bow, FGS and Glyph of storms it wasn’t too bad. Of course, if I’m remembering the right one.
Either the case, if you wish, I’d be glad to help if you need it. If you’re on an NA server that is.
The tl;dr : “Finally, in a release coming early next year, we will merge the existing daily and monthly achievement point caps into one pool. This will allow players to continue working toward the maximum point totals for the daily achievement system without the existence of monthly achievements.”
I wish they wood. I went ahead and gathered up all the materials to make my bow. Then low and behold, slapped in the face with a time gate :/ As it stands right now, I have another four days to finish crafting spirit wood for the bow……It makes me wanna pull my hair out.
I don’t really care for the skull/batwing type look myself. For a GS, I use the Fellblade from HoM skins. One handed really depends on what I feel like staring at for a bit.
I’d like to offer my assistance as well. I’m on NA server. I usually just goof off when I’m on unless someone needs help. As far as build goes, I don’t really care about it.
I’m a role player because I make up stories to go with my characters. But I’m not in the crowd of role players that emote. It’s way cute and I love them for it but I’m just not into communal rp’ing. My OC’s are miinnne alooone.
The non-role players are all those jerks screaming at the rest of us, “Just play the stupid game already!” They couldn’t remember what color their character’s hair is but they could list stats so fast NASA couldn’t keep pace.
I’m not a “roleplayer”. I talk as myself, I speak to other people (ya know, the operators of the pixels). I don’t remember ever talking bad to a roleplayer. Matter of fact, I use to run dungeons with a couple “roleplayers”. Pretty cool guys, laid back. No, I honestly don’t know the hair color on any of my characters (I change that at least 3 times a week) nor can I list the stats on any of them. I have better things to keep in my head than a bunch of meaningless numbers.
I want legendaries to be actual legends. Items of lore meaning and value. Right now they are just shiny skins with lots of particle effects and a few convenience features. There is no lore to them.
IMO Sohothin and Magdaer are more legendary than the current crop. I want legendary weapons that were wielded by legendary heroes with legendary powers. Artifacts of power that were crafted from powerful beings like Caladbolg was crafted from the Pale Tree, or the blade wielded by Balthazar himself, Urgoz’s bow that has grown more powerful over the last 250 years, the Scepter of Orr, a shield made from Jormag’s scale or a staff fashioned from Zhaitan’s rib.
Send us on legendary journeys, learning tales of lore which root these powerful items in Tyria’s past or present. Make them feel like epic adventures and not just epic grinds.
To me, this should ensure legendaries avoid the novelty problems of the Dreamer, Moot or Quip. Items like the Flameseeker Prophecies are far cooler than generic flashy weapon skins.
I hope Arenanet doesn’t listen to you people. If you want more options that is fine but I for one like the dreamer too bad I hate the ranger and thief enough that I will never make it.
more options makes the world go round. Btw when they introduce The dreamer, the concept was to kitten off certain types of players at least that was what the Then Director implied.
The only thing I ask for is to tone down the particle effects, so I can do the massive events without getting a headache. “I hope Anet doesn’t listen to you people.” Gee thanx. Love you too.
So this thread is literally about -two- legendaries, The Dreamer and Quip. Let’s be real here. Out of every legendary, out of 19 weapons, 2 are the source of this, eh, I don’t want to say drama but really.
I really do hope they have more eccentric legendaries coming. Why is everyone so hell bent on being dark and cool. Are these the same players with ‘reaper’ ‘dark’ and all other stereotypical manner of character names? That’s what makes these weapons so great, they’re not stereotypical. They break the mold.
For the record, my character names are as followed:
Xana Oravia, Delona Oravia, Candace Oravia, Evelyn Oravia and Adam Oravia.
Imagine this game without updates for the whole year.. Yeah..My guessing is april 28.
There have been no information whatsoever that there will be no updates between now and release of the expansion.
In fact I believe it to be completely opposite and that they have actually said that there WILL be updates between now and release (I’ll see if I can find it).
I believe you misheard. They said there wouldnt be anymore LS and they would just focus on HoT for now. And they dodged the question of other patches by saying theres a balance patch coming on the 27th of Jan. So we will most likely just get minor balance patches until release and if we are lucky a festival. But I wouldnt bet on it.
Collin said LS is done until expansion, but other things will be happening. He didn’t specify though.
Long story short, he says the community made it clear, including the lapsed players, that living world as it was would not be enough for them. (paraphrasing mine)
I wouldn’t mind it. In GW1 we had some micromanagement with them. Place flag here, click the skill for them to use it when you wanted them to, set each one to guard, defend or avoid combat. Shift click this skill so the hero wouldn’t use it unless you told them to.
