Omg Trahearne is such a creep
Bugged Master of Baubles, World 2 Achievement
in Super Adventure Box: Back to School
Posted by: Xiao Haishou.3691
I looked at patch notes and all it was for was ascended weapon recipes, no SAB updates
That’s not a bug. It stops there and you have to jump over to the next area to your right
i think you might be using the discovery panel instead.
I sent a ticket to GW2 about it, and they responded
“Thanks very much for letting us know about the issue that you noted in Guild Wars 2. "
They also said that next time, i should just use the in-game report bug function (didn’t know that existed o.0)
The old SAB skins that you bought with baubles are account-bound so youcant sell them. The ones on the TP were drops from a box
I was looking through all of the different stats through the drop down menu for my old Magic Find dagger (Zenith Kris). However, instead of clicking on the next stat, I accidentally pressed accept. THERE WAS NO CONFIRMATION. Now I am stuck with a crappy Cleric’s Dagger which I will never use when I wanted a Berserker’s Dagger
Salvaged 7 exotics, only 3 dark matter
Used BLT kit
The other side of the coin I thought Accept was a confirmation. I don’t want to be asked are you sure? Are you Really Sure? There is a balance to play with Confirmation boxes.
Accept isn’t the confirmation.
Take the zenith skins from achievements for example. The drop down list is equivalent to choosing a skin. Pressing accept on the zenith skin pops up a confirmation (are you sure you want to take blah blah skin?)
Pressing accept on an ex-magic find item automatically selects whatever it is
There is no confirmation when you select magic find stats. I was looking through the stats to see what the different stats were and when I clicked on the dropdown list and I tried to select a stat, I accidentally pressed accept instead so now I’m stuck with a crappy stat exotic that I will never use.
When I logged in today, the mini watchwork knight from the Queen’s Jubilee Event was somehow removed from my collectibles tab. I also hear many people in LA talking about it as well
“This is the first time in GW2 that other players are a hindrance in the game. When I farm Tyre Ragemaw with 30 sec rotation with my warrior, even one other player at the same arena ruins the farm.”
“Now you understand why i don’t like rezzing people who die , i jump in and start farming Dunwell 15 seconds later 3-4 guys pop up and start loitering , more times than not they queue …and it takes them days to die or (rarely) kill the boss chosen.”
So, the point is..?… screw other players who are simply trying to play and enjoy the new content? You would like your own private little instance so you can be even greedier and exploit faster?
Interesting….
Good thing Im not in charge, i would make the achievement a one shot deal, non repeatable… problem solved :P
Yea the gauntlet is totally bringing out the worst in the community. For example, there was someone that said that he had farmed Deadeye enough, so he asks anet to nerf Deadeye because it is boring (And he even said that he has had enough of farming because it is so boring, yet he still continues to farm). Then, once they do nerf him, he just ups and asks for yet another build to farm Deadeye.
Soldiers – Love survivability
Zerkers – When Soldier DPS isn’t enough
Rabid – Conditionmancer armor
Explorers – power Magic find, back when it was useful
Mad King’s set – Magic find for condition dmg, back when it was useful
Zzz what am I gonna do with my 2 magic find sets….
I would be fine with challenging content if it wasn’t temporary. That way, it is possible to get the achievement whenever, rather than limited to a living story update that will disappear in a couple of weeks. This way allows people to learn the fight and get more experienced, as well as give completionists a sense of “peace” that they can complete the achievement whenever, rather than having to try to finish it in the short time period (Many of which will not be able to and they will be very unhappy that they cannot complete the game 100% anymore)
Necro is my main so I was determined to do it with my necro. After 40 attempts of getting her down to around 25% HP and failing due to time limit I gave up with the necro.
It’s really unfair the current situation with necros and survivability. We have no skill to give us aegis, none for vigor. We have no invulnerabilities or blocks, and our only insta kill negate was the DS which no longer does that.
Decided to give it a go with my mesmer, but since the tickets are soulbound I couldn’t do much with it. Did some 10 tries, got her to a sliver of her health at one point and just messed up due to pressure.
It’s absurd how easier it is with the mesmer though.
Yea it is crazy. I tried super hard with my necro but his mobility is so bad and there are no evades/blocks/invulnerability so I would die super quickly. However, once I switched to guardian (I am not an experienced guardian. I leveled it up to 80, half of it with crafting, just for the Queen’s Gauntlet because I knew it would be terrible for a necro), it was a lot easier and I could get her HP down a lot more because I could block/invuln the giant AoEs when I run out of dodges (with about 4 different skills, I might add. That’s an extra 4 AoEs I can run through and by the time 2 of them are used, my dodges regenerated already too)
However, I made a big mistake. Should’ve made a Warrior instead of a Guardian.

The token nerf was not even in the patch notes, which is really annoying
To be quite frank getting the crystals up in time is frustrating at best.
At a certain point you will jsut run out of dodgerolls or even condition removals.
It’s not unreasonable. It doesn’t really feel possible. And i’ve done pretty much every single achievement to date.To the point it getting frustrating after 67 tries i do wonder if it was even worth the effort.
Killing on my necromancer is easy, but actually doing the 8 orb thing on a necromancer which has absolutely no vigor feels impossible
Can you give any tips for necros? During the “phase 2” I cant avoid her AoEs fast enough because I run out of dodges and necros have no mobility. Also, during “phase 1” I get down to about 1/3 HP because of Liadri’s necrotic grasp. Is there any tricks to avoiding it?
Couldn’t they have made the ones in the mail soul bound, but the ones from drops account bound? Seems like a huge waste getting them on my very low lv alts…
Yea, I have a bunch on my alts and my alts are definitely NOT going to compete. They’ll be destroyed
You can’t use it in WvW or PvP, only PvE
Yea but they’re probably going to put achievements for the different gambits, seeing how they put achievements for everything (not getting hit by lasers for AR, not getting hit by the cannon barrage, T1/T2/T3/T4, etc)
Then you simply need to learn to play with all those gambits if you feel the need to have all achievements.
Achievements are supposed to actually require people to achieve something, which is quite clearly not the case for most of the current Achievement in this game but they seems to be working on adding more.You don’t NEED to complete all achievements after all.
Yup. People should look up the word “achievement” in their dictionaries.
The thing about the gambit is that there is a specific one that removes dodges, which is the only form of damage mitigation a Necro (which I main) has. If the boss monster does any form of OHKO, then the Necro would have absolutely no chance to survive.
I know what achievements are. Achievements are supposed to be difficult, but they aren’t supposed to be impossible. If a boss monster uses a OHKO skill on a necro, who has no way of blocking the skill, then that is impossible. It is not a matter of “l2p” because there is no option to block/evade an attack like that on a necro once dodge is removed. I am a completionist, and I’m sure there are many others like me, who get every single achievement. I am not complaining about difficulty. So far there have not been any achievements that are impossible for me to complete.
Yes, in Fractals you can change a number to increase the difficulty of the Fractals. Gambits are completely different, however, in that you activate a specific condition. For example, completing the challenge without being able to dodge.
Ugh. No dodge. What am I supposed to do with a necro, who doesn’t have any invulnerability/stealth/evades/blocks ?
All necro CC’s are pretty much useless because of Defiant and Unshakeable as well, so we have no way to protect against pretty much anything.
Which is why they’re optional, we’ll have to wait and see until the content actually hits, but for all we know maybe that particular gambit might be impossible to do with your necro while there might be another gambit that might be easy to do with it.
For exmple (NOTE THAT IF ANY OF THESE ARE REAL IS PURELY COINCIDENCE), having a gambit where all enemies become inmune to conditions would be almost impossible to do with my mesmer (at least without a complete rebuild-re gearing), but if there was another one that enemies are inmune to direct damage wouldn’t impact it too much.
Yea but they’re probably going to put achievements for the different gambits, seeing how they put achievements for everything (not getting hit by lasers for AR, not getting hit by the cannon barrage, T1/T2/T3/T4, etc)
You can activate a condition-> gives an example of a single condition that doesn’t favor necros -> Necros are dead.
Wut?
The issue is that ANet is probably going to be putting some achievements for the gambits (seeing how they put achievements for the stupidest things, like not getting hit by cannon barrage in AR or T1/T2/T3/T4)
im thinking in NO STEALTH vs a thief and im just PLEASED in my head
Ummm Queen’s Gauntlet isn’t a PvP thing. Its the solo arena where you fight champion mobs and stuff like a gladiator arena.

So basically a gambit in the Queen’s Gauntlet removes the ability to dodge. That is the ONLY thing a necro has to avoid large amounts of damage. We have no invulnerability/stealth/evade/reflect/block. Fear/Weakness/Blind/whatever other CC’s a necro has are worthless due to Defiant and Unshakeable. Great job making an event that renders a Necro’s defensive capabilities useless.

Necromancer’s shall have fun with their amazing mobility..
I’ll just make an alt now shall i…
I want to know if these bosses have one-hit KO skills. If they are, I’m sure a LOT of necros will have trouble completing it, unless they are spaced few and far in between to allow for dodge to recharge fast enough
zenleto, as Tyria evolves they’ve found a new magical bank system where all your currency stuff automatically and magically will be sent to (because they thought all these various and heaps of different currencies are too much of a hassle for the poor adventurers). Despite being magical (and Tyrian.. something like “human”) doesn’t always mean everything and everyone is considered adequately and as the magic has boundaries the downside is all your characters have to share the same pool where to store and get their needed currencies from.
I really hope you’ll find a way to accept what now sounds game breaking for you.Bah! Humans, what are they good for!
I’ll probably end up just playing one of my 30 exclusively but that’ll hurt my altoholism. Not going to make any decisions until the update anyway.
The guild bank is definitely an idea to keep only a certain stipend but I gotta ask… WHY is this a gamebreaker? Why not just….not use the cash you didn’t earn with that character? I am genuinely curious, as I cannot see how your fun is impacted by this in any way?
Its just a “thing”. Everyone has one, this one is mine. I can’t really explain it more than that.
:)
Personally, for me it is like I have a main, where most of my money goes to. Then I have some alts, which I don’t want to spend money on from my bank or whatever. Thus, I only use the money that the specific alt has accumulated so I don’t “waste”
the money that I have saved on my main. If that makes sense…
Issues with entering dungeons with party
in Account & Technical Support
Posted by: Xiao Haishou.3691
This keeps happening to me too.
Snip
I soloed T2 with 40+ kills. I don’t have a legendary, and only one piece of ascended gear.
The fact that they failed 4 times making the video just means they are either bad players, or lacked coordination. Or both. Gear != skill.
When. And with what build/gear?
Dude it was really easy to solo T1 and T2 normally (about 45-49 kills). I didn’t hear about camping at the plunderer spawns until I was doing T3 and T4
Did that in any way answer my question?
And, from reading your other post on the sister thread, until I see video supporting your claim, I’m not buying into anything except your trolling. MY Personal Opinion.
Fine whatever. I just made a video on my first T2 attempt (a.k.a. no wiping, reset, or whatever other cheap tricks you think I use to cheat on T2) and I have 48 kills. Gimme a day to upload cuz I’m compressing and its like 4gb in size (why does fraps always have such large files?)
That doesn’t particularly have anything to do with the problem at hand, which is T4.
It’s like you’re saying you can beat up Mike Tyson, but posting a video of yourself punching a toddler.
If you haven’t been reading the thread, he was posting about how a party wiped 4x before they finished T2 and how he doesn’t believe people can do the trials the correct way.
There’s a video ‘guide’ on a thread here. 3man party.
Every one of them has a Legendary, and Ascended quality gear.
They state they wiped 4x just in the making of the video, T2.
That’s complete bullkitten.
So if someone who doesn’t have ‘Veteran’ status in the game (i.e. Time long enough to have fully decked in Ascended with LEGENDARY weapons….
This cannot be done wo the exploits.
Yes, ANet
FIX THIS.

edit: Here it is. Terrible quality, but yeah. It proves my point well enough that doing T2 the “correct way” is not difficult at all.

I know this is an old post, and also has been raised before, but I would really like to see this implemented
Anyways, I soloed T3 and T4 before the patch. I decided to go and see what all the fuss was about after the patch, so I decided to try to solo T3. I don’t really see much difference, actually. I was at full health and i failed at about 20 sec left because I ran out of treasure because I wasn’t paying attention to the other side’s spawns. All I had to do was run over to the other side, get some of my hp down to kill a plunderer, and I would’ve completed it.

I personally have been running Greater Marks since the betas and I can’t deal with the smaller marks. Also, not having “unblockable” takes ages when I’m fighting a simple Ascalonian Fighter in Plains of Ashford because I can’t do anything through their blocks and I have to wait like 5 sec for them to stop.
It isn’t a title, it is just an achievement
Face it guys, those 30/30/20/0/20 necromancers with 6 nightmare runes + 6 necromancer runes that cast unbreakable 12 sec fears on demand will get you all the time.
Yeah, cuz you can definitely wear 12 runes at a time.
I’m not good at this game; so I don’t understand how to make 50 pts per game. I am not good at killing anyone because I usually end up with no arrows/weapon, so no points there. Even when I pick up motes and try to set traps, I still only get about 10 pts per game. Very slow ….. what should I be doing? Any help would be appreciated. It’s ok if I don’t get this achievement since there are others I can finish. I just wish I knew how to get better. =(
Kill people in the beginning of the game during the grace period. Don’t worry about surviving because you will res anyways. if they have low health, just use the 1 skill. If not, then hide in a corner or something and use the headshot skill. Most people salvage in the camps, so some people like to stand on top of the tent or inside the watchtower thing to snipe.
If you want points, die immediately after the grace period ends in the camp and pick up all the revenge motes. That is like an easy 30 points. Also, if you spawn a karka there, you can probably get a couple of kills to, netting you another 5-20 points.
You don’t set off traps randomly. You need to find a person that actually moves around and stuff. To get points, its easiest to just dash in front of the person with the 5 skill and then use the 1 trap. Then rinse and repeat.
I averaged 85-110 points a game when I was working for the achievement. It’s not difficult at all. Just kill as many people as you can in the beginning. Also, try to die first to get all the revenge motes. If you don’t die within the first 30 sec of the end of the grace period, just run and try to survive cuz all the revenge motes would be taken already and its better to go for the 50 points for being the last survivor.
I wish there was a function where you can just dump all your votes at once instead of clicking a million times ._.
Fellow Evon supporters I know Kiel is ahead but while she has the numbers we have the determination, Join me this Sunday and lets buy, farm and steal every ticket we can and show once and for all that this do-gooder Kiel has no chance.
This aggression will not stand.
This message brought to you by Citizens of Tyira For a Better Tommorrow, Tommorrow.
Whats Tyira?
Evon Gnashblade is by no means evil.
It is plain as day he genuinely cares for LA and he’s done more then anyone personally and openly to help LA become the center of trade and commerce it is today.
You can’t speak ill of a guy who goes against his own fellows to do the right thing, and you don’t make LA the center of international commerce over night.
OP’s moral compass is broken.
Umm, yeah there is basis. Evon disobeyed an order from his legionnaire, killed her, then assumed her position as legionnaire.
Everyone who thinks that setting Evon as a murderer as going too far, it has already been written that he staged a coup and killed his legionnaire
No, there isn’t and no they didn’t. You leave out key details from the short story to give that idea.
Evon never staged a coup. It happened spontaneously. His legionnaire went batkitten insane at the prospect that Evon would even dare question her course.
Being that she probably grew up with Evon the way she responds to his calm respectful suggestion is very cold, even for a charr.
She was not impressed with him, and Evon protesting was the straw that broke the camels back.
She said "Get out of my sight before I change my mind about letting you leave alive.”
Evon was the one who continued to press on afterwards.
… the one thing that never entered his mind was doubt. He made his decision about how to proceed.
…
As he spoke, the vein in his neck began to pound. His arms relaxed at his sides, hand touching the hilt of his dagger. His awareness expanded; his peripheral vision broadened.
He had made his decision before he started speaking again, and after the legionnaire threatened him. He was at the ready as he was speaking and he “expanded his awareness” to take his legionnaire by surprise and kill her.
1) Evon may be greedy, but evil and a murderer of his own family is way across the line.
But yeah, I would describe Evon as greedy, arrogant. Unlikable, even. But there is certainly no basis to think he’d kill his family (warband? business partner? w/e).
Its a choice between good and evil, but there are degrees of both. Evon’s behavior is not grave enough to lump him in the category the OP is putting him in.
Umm, yeah there is basis. Evon disobeyed an order from his legionnaire, killed her, then assumed her position as legionnaire.
Everyone who thinks that setting Evon as a murderer as going too far, it has already been written that he staged a coup and killed his legionnaire
With a quick double-step, he put his body inside his legionnaire’s reach and blocked the sword swipe. With his free hand, he latched onto one of Gnashfang’s horns, pulled downward and stepped back, putting his own weight into the move. Then, he drove his dagger deep into Gnashfang’s neck and jerked it out along the spine.
The sound of the sword clattering to the stone floor freed the Gnash warband from their shock, and they rushed to pull Evon off their legionnaire.
Evon stepped back and watched as they lowered Gnashfang to the ground, knowing full well that it was too late to save her. He waited, blood dripping down the blade of his dagger onto his hand.
When the others finally turned to look at him, he stood his ground.
“I’m legionnaire now,” he said. “You’ll do as I say, or join Gnashfang in the Mists. Any arguments?”

you know soloing it is so much easier
Ummm it’s always been auto fail when you die?
Anyways… For the Spectral Armor and Spectral Walk changes, I feel like they were unnecessary as well.
However, there is an inherent flaw in Death Shroud. By being a second life bar, it is either too little for multiple enemies, or it is too much for one. There simply cannot be a middle ground on this. (Thanks to BloodRedArachnid for pointing this out so succinctly recently). The end result is that we have a very heavy AoE class that is ironically far better suited to facing one opponent over many. This just doesn’t fit.
Now they have increased the amount of life force gain from Spectral skills, but they have implemented an inherent 1-sec cooldown. This makes us even more tankier for 1v1 situations and squishier for 1vX situations. However, the issue many people have with Death Shroud is that it provides too much HP for 1v1 and not enough survivabilty to compensate for no blocking/evades/stealth/teleport for 1vX.
I don’t really look at it as 30 points just for burning, though. The condition duration, power, Chill of Death, and even Signet Mastery (good for some builds) are valuable. Chill of Death in particular is amazing.
From that perspective, it’s basically 10 points for a 2.8-second burn. Not bad.
With regards to Dhuumfire changes, you all have to see this.
Yeah, but engineers (Also condition spamming) have access to burning on crits with only 10 trait points, yet we have to spend 30 to get 1/2 the duration.
The fix that is coming is in consideration of the time that we had to complete it. We are planning to rework some things when we have more time, but felt this would be sufficient for now, considering the first Qualifying tournament is tomorrow.
I hope that reworking the Dhuumfire trait will undo the Terror trait nerf. Why nerf Terror when it worked fine for almost an entire year since release and then everyone complains about it being OP after it was combined with Dhuumfire? Nerfing terror messed up many other builds that worked perfectly fine before Dhuumfire was introduced.
Yea. Best way to get points is to kill as much as possible in the grace period and then die immediately as grace period ends to get all the revenge motes.
meh 130 was my highest. However, I personally think it is so much easier to get points when you aren’t the last man standing. I average about 85-110 points per game.
Stealth isn’t bad in it’s current form. However, I think aegis/blocks/stuns should be the counter to stealth. If you block an attack with a block or aegis, it should reveal. If i thief gets stunned via static field/supply drop, whatever, it should also reveal. All classes have access to one of these I believe.
Necro’s dont have stun or blocks. And now with DS damage going to the health bar, they don’t have any way to block huge spike damage and they don’t have any mobility to run away either.
