I get that but I mean what determines best dressed within a race? Will any and every style be lumped together and it is better to go with something cute/pretty rather than a more creative or obsecure look?
Also will weapons and back pieces be taken in account to the overall style, look, and theme?
To better answer your question I will just tell you our 5 judges each have their prefer style in game.
1. light armor- dark Dye theme
2. light armor- light Dye theme
3. light armor- unique theme
4. medium armor – unique theme
5. heavy armor – fancy light dye
To determine the winner our judges will simply rate the fashion style of participants according to their like/dislike.
Going for cute/pretty/fancy/unique theme have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Participants can choose to wear town cloths or regular armor, with or without backpiece/weapons to join the event.
Tequatl is in a mid-level zone and the “first” dragon boss many new players encounter – a world boss version of the Claw Island mission. How exactly is he even supposed to be elite content to begin with!?! I understand if it would have been bloody Jormag, but not the noob dragon.
Next thing people are going to come with the same argument as AC… “Oh but you dont need to be 80 in exotic gear, you can beat him with level 55 characters in greens, us elite players do it all the time!”.
Can a boss be hard? Sure, we like difficult content. But Tequatl is too hard for the zone he is in. People that cant see that are completely blind. They could have made a new Zhaitan world boss in Cursed Shore like this and alot fewer would have complained!
Actually, first dragon boss is the Shatterer, which is still a spam #1 world boss at the moment and only thing patch ever did was triple his hp pool.
As for is Tequatl too hard for the zone he is in?
I think everyone should already know how to dodge by the time of AC(lv30ish) and everyone know how to read(lv???) by defult right? So the only problem is learn the fight and stop just lay there when you are fully dead.
Really thats its? a group of lvl 55 players in green gear that know how to dodge and read is all it takes? I’d like to see that video please, or share whatever your smoking
Well I don’t what you are smoking, but pretty sure you mean “Really? That is it?” in your first sentence.
In theory a group of level 65*(which is the actual level of Tequatl and the event, obviously in this thread some people have no idea what they are talking about) that know the fight and waypoint whenever they are fully dead can defeat the new Tequatl.
Which at this moment is near impossible since I still see people shouting Teq is bug on the map chat by random lv80 who mostly just afk by the turret.

Yea, one of the selling points and attractions to GW2 was that it was NOT a grindfest. But they seem to be going back on that, so what’s the point in playing GW2 over others MMOs?
And it still isn’t, no grinding required to play all the content of this game, unlike other MMOs.
Wrong…again.
Actually eisberg.2379 is correct, there is not single content that require Ascended Weapon or heavy grind to do, and every update living world event is open to anyone and everyone, every grindy content (i.e.Legendary, Ascended gear) they are all optional.
The only content that I can think of which require gear check is “high” level fractals, which is totally optional, and low level fractal is still open to anyone.
I just bought 50 Flame and 50 Frost Dye kit and I only received 50 Flame and 30 Frost, my mail box it not full. Still missing 20 Frost Dye kits, please help.
We have enough cash cows in the game already. Everything I wanted, I could already buy, including legendaries.
For once, let there be skins that I can’t buy. It’s healthy.
Can’t buy a fractal weapon skin, can you?
Hopefully I won’t have to take Tylenol every time I run SAB again, is the motion sickness problem fixed? Judging by the amount of bubbles I need to grind, maybe I should go buy a new bottle of Tylenol just in case.
Apparently some one or a group of some sort is trying very hard to control the price of few items on the TP.
It will never work in their favor, look at what happen to Genesis, try to control the market and place 39 of them at 220g, only took a week for the price to drop back to normal and that 39 Genesis is still there.
In the up coming ascended gear patch please allow us to infused all those fractal weapon skins(or already used fractal weapons) into ascended equipment.
The day may come when the internet has learn to read and search the forums before making a new thread, but its obvious not this day.
Obligatory~
Yo dawg, I heard you like to complain about TA F/U so I put a few more TA F/U complain threads in your TA F/U complain thread, so you can complain some more about TA F/U while you complain about TA F/U.
Fractal levels are character bound just like character levels are character bound.
They recently came out with a scroll that autolevels a character up to 20.
How about an item, like “Fractal Authorization Cube” or something, that would drop from fractal 40+ or is buyable on characters with fractal 40+. This item is account bound and can be used to autolevel another character’s Fractal level to 15.
I like it, you might be on to something here. Might be a consumable that cost 1k fractal relics and 50 pristine relics or anything.
Yeah it works, but there a LOT of room for improvement.
But would ANet consider your suggestions an improvement?
Most likely not, seeing as they NEVER visit the dungeons forum and that they prefer to add mindless zerging content.
To be fair, I wish they would visit the forum less and make more new fractals or adjust current fractals instead of dealing with unhappy players on the forum that act like armchair developers.
“This is easy to add, that is easy to fix, why isn’t this bug fixed already?”
There would be no reason to remove the daily per char
1. More chances at fractal skins (which everyone already complains about)
2. Increases the rewards (which are already lacking a lot)
3. Only a very small % of players run fractals so it wont effect the economy
To top it all off you could just make every even numbered fractal have an extra chest. So you could run fractal 48, 30 times in 1 day and you would always get that bonus chest.
What you are asking Anet to change, all of them are highly unlikely to happen.
Have you notice that there are only two types of reward progress tracking in game right now?
Its either character bound with character base rewards or account bound with account base rewards.
It is very possible we can only have one way, not both.
You either have account bound fractal level and reward or character bound fractal level and reward.
What you are asking is while changing fractal level to the account bound but keeping rewards character bound.
Easier said then done, I am not a programmer but I don’t think it is a easy fix.
Scarlet also looks extremely repulsive, which might be intended by Anet.
How on Tyria did she manage to persuade all hostile factions(minus the dragons) to united behind her and attack the humans?
(Well, she did attack every other races but she choose the Queen’s Jubilee for her grand stage.)
And why is it a salad sylvari mastermind again? Last time it was Canach.
Is it just me or it is time for another type of villain already?
Yeah~ but some of us have multiple characters at high level fractal that we run daily for multiple daily chest, wouldn’t it be unfair for us to lose those daily chest by switching character bound levels and rewards to account bound simply because some other players don’t want to go to the trouble to level up the fractals again?
While farming champions in Frostgorge Sound, every champion drop their own bag, no matter it shares same name or not, they do not stack unless its from the same champion.
Meaning while my lower level alt was following zerg in the Crown Pavilion for leveling, at different level range I will get bags of different quality. (White → Blue → Green → Rare → Exotic)
I have gotten the new champion skin [Stardust] from green quality champion bag off the centaur boss, it would seems the chance of getting a new skin is shared for same champion’s bag.
It would seem different rarity bags from champions/legendary have share drop rate for new champion weapon skins and different champion bags have their own loot table?
So if I am going after Genesis I should only farm one champion for its bag since other champion’s bag are unlikely to drop it?
One problem I have with party invite UI is that no matter who invite you to the party, on the invite icon it will only show the “owner” of the party, hence it is hard to tell who “actually” invited you to his/her party.
Any possibility on making the invite icon to the actual person that send the invite?
Done it on my thief and kill it with achievement too!
Go full PVCondition, dagger/pistol with shortbow.
Keep black powder up for that 100% blind, and spam caltrop. Best if you traits for dodge with caltrop, also stun on steal.
Scorpion wire, shadow step, signet of shadow with basilisk venom.
Make this fight such a easy mode, condition alone is enough to drop both to 20%hp on 5th meat and just finish them both after that.
Every fight in the gantlet is faceroll easy if you are full zerker spec. You will kill the bosses (and they can be CC) before their mechanics even go off.
If you are a warrior or ranger you can even signet/invul so you can ignore the bosses completely and just zerg down every single fight in seconds.
The only exception to this is the final boss during phase 1. Phase 2 you can just kite her with range and she will go down in no time. -snip
Youtube it or it didn’t happen, over-exaggerate much?
Plus If I remember correctly, first guy to finish the gauntlet use Engi and he is not zerker build.
This thread isn’t feedback. It’s “this is my opinion and I’m taking it as factual for everyone”.
Time to close?
I’ve never claimed my opinion as universal. This is the most serious form of feedback that can be offered, the honest criticism of someone who actually appreciates what this game is at it’s core, what the Manifesto meant for the genre and the ways this year has been a major disappointment. Kowtowing benefits no one.
That few on the other side can do more than dismiss or deflect, rather than add to the conversation isn’t a failing of the critics of the current direction of the game.
That’s the last I’ll say to those who wish this conversation would just go away. People are very welcome to offer their opinion to the discussion, though it would be most appreciated if it’s in a form that actually adds to the discussion.
Maybe you don’t see the Manifesto as anything special? Maybe you prefer this form of content to an evolution of the game world via Dynamic Event content? Maybe you prefer a check list to grind for rewards to free form exploration and immersion in the game world? We don’t know where you are coming from, other than that you just don’t want to hear criticism of the game and wish we would just stop talking.
Everyone’s a critic, but I am not seeing where you are coming from. Maybe it is just me but all I read is “I don’t like this QQ”
Constructive criticism is welcome, but rage QQ is not.
I feel sorry for all of you who are not having fun in the game and not enjoying this new living story update.
I am sorry that Guild Wars 2 is not going to a direction you are happy with, but I gotta tell ya…
I AM HAVING SO MUCH FUN!
YAY!
^ You have to read all of what I wrote and you will find out that you still can do the same thing. Minus the grinding & time gate of course.
What I am saying is it is very possible we can only have on way, not both.
You either have account bound fractal level and reward or character bound fractal level and reward.
What you are asking is while changing fractal level to the account bound but keeping rewards character bound.
Easier said then done, I am not a programmer but I don’t think it is a easy fix.
So what are the character bound rewards that we do not want to lose in exchange for account bound?
i.e. Daily reward chest from different tiers of fractals.
Do we want different characters have their own character bound reward with character bound level or account bound level with account bound reward?
Right now if you have two characters at lv48 and one at lv28, you can get three lv28 daily chests and two lv48 daily chests by running lv48 twice on different character and lv28 on all three character.
But, once the fractal level change to account bound, you can only have one lv48 chest and one lv28 chest per day regardless to which character you ran fractal with.
This topic has been discuss before, the problem is that fractal completion reward is character bound just like regular dungeon, therefore a different path in explorable dungeon is treated just like a different tiers in fractal.
In short, to make fractal level account bound will cost us character bound rewards.
I can dodge Arches spin attack. You have a small window to avoid it but it is not impossible.
As a guardian, I do love putting a wall of reflection right on him when he does that, watch that damage goes. Justice is served.
p.s. Shield #5 also useful in this case.
I do miss the old days when Orr event zerg train is in its prime. Back when price of T6 mats were at the bottom. Hopefully, the new patch that include new crafting materials for crafting to level 500 will give Orr its old glory back.
Back when T6 was below 1S was when bots were out in full force. Then the Great November Ban Wave happened.
While it is true whenever a bots ban wave happened the price for T6 pats will jump, but T6 price cant not reach its current price without massive Orr event zerg train exodus.
It is very common to overestimated bots’ sway over current TP prices, just like the saying “Rome was not build in one day.”

Actually, Fractal Relic is needed to downgrade or upgrade vial, glob and shards, also use to upgrade exotic version of Triforge Pendant to ascended version. So it would make sense to allow us to withdraw them from our wallet.
A bit disappoint that we can’t store Pristine Fractal Relic in to our wallet though. Just a wee bit.
Is said AR equipment broken during your fractal run? A broken armor does not provide any defense or bonuses or AR in this case. However, runes still work.
