Guild Wars 2

Got out of the overflow, got a mail about southsun cove.. the event totally bugged out, the catapult is done, the event just never triggered on overflow

event kicked off on gunnars hold overflow, killed some mobs, boss appeared, then he vanished at like 60-70%, some catapult/trebuchet is above the dungeon, nobody knows whats going on… it’s so bad, people are turning to telling bad jokes in the chat… and trust me, they are bad O_O

This whole event has me split two ways. For the event itself, you had some cool stuff, like the jumping puzzle, ghost hunt (despite it being horribly hard to find stuff) and the reaper’s rumble pvp activity – really fun events. Then you had some less fun ones, like the lunatic court activity and spending way too much time for pumpkins and trick-and-treat bags. Story-wise you had some cool lore…

but, and this is a big gripe I have with GW2 in general – there is so little information given. I started out playing catch-up in Act 3 because I didn’t even know about the event before a friend told me – no problem, I can accept that.. but I had literally no clue about what to do or where to go until I started googling GW2 halloween guides.. and I hate having to look up external information when it should be simple enough to put it into the game.

Then there is the fact you closed off the Act 3 dungeon on freakin halloween, which makes no sense for me.. I had it saved for last because I thought it would be like any other GW2 dungeon in that it required 5 people and lots of time.. which I found out was not the case after reading the forums here AFTER it closed down… but that isn’t the worst part.. the worst part is you give ample time to explain it here on the forums and such.. BUT NOT A F-ING SINGLE CLUE IN-GAME! People on the forums here saying there was plenty of warning – WRONG, there was NOTHING in-game saying that it would go away, nor the fact certain achievements even required the dungeon.

This is a big issue for me, and it doesn’t stop with this event. GW2 is riddled with lack of information, from legendary item crafting information to events taking place to the where-abouts of things.. even the personal quest has this where you start building up a story, and just stop it mid-story to build up a new one with no information about why or what to do next.. You rely on people discovering things and telling about it on reddit and forums, which a large part of us don’t even frequent.

So if I have to sum up the event: Good content, horrible execution. Give us some kittening information about this stuff IN-GAME!

It would be nice to get a confirmation if this event will be available next year, I didn’t even know about the dungeon being the 4th place until now and I am stuck at 3/4 with no way of finishing it before halloween ends, and that really sucks, specially if this is a 1 time thing and next year does something new so you can never get it :/

I’ve been running mace+focus & staff since lvl 30. I got meditation+symbol traits, it’s more a heal/defense build and so far it’s been slow dps, but my survivability is through the roof.

Main damage comes from skill 1 with a constant skill 2 to heal me while damaging and doing some additional dmg in the area the symbol is. Skill 4 is for blind when the mob will do a heavy dmg attack + some heal, skill 3 and 5 are small and high defense, for mobs heavy attacks or multiple mobs.

Skill 7 & 8 are teleport burn meditation & either cure condition for more dmg or teleport to heal (depending if I’m running with a group or not), last one you can switch around depending on situation (if solo, I usually do the poison aoe or another burn). Elite for soloing for me is the 10 skillpoint golem (not the suit) that fights for you for extra dmg against groups.

For ranged/kiting, I prefer the staff, but scepter+focus/shield is a good combo also. Point is, there is plenty of options for you! Check out http://www.gw2builds.org/browse?prof=guardian for plenty of cool builds. It’s all up to what kind of style you want to play. Scepter+torch and sword+focus with spirit weapon skills+traits yield pretty good dps although it’s a bit more glass-canon build

I came to ask the same question as Countess, because it has the notice on the end saying it will be based on chat logs and if we keep sending false reports it will ban us.. Is there a correct category to mark gold selling mails, or even better: could we get a new category for either gold selling or illegal game activity?

I can add to this and say it is bugged and often bug itself by using a waypoint, zoning to another place, or logging out
