Guild Wars 2

I talked to a lot people from germany and in most cases it was Telekom or another company that uses the Telekom cables/lines, for example 1&1.
The lags occurs mostly at prime time around 6pm – 10pm (GMT).

At that time the game is not playable anymore (which is sad, because that is the time I come home from work…).

That interupting bug happened to me yesterday. Leaving the map or relogging etc. does not help. The one coin is still missing and I walked to all coin places several times (+ guides)

Now I’m stuck at 29/30

Well ever tried to complete the list: http://www.guildwars2hub.com/features/editorials/80-things-do-level-80 ?

I also take brakes from time to time, especially because of my work or other games I’d like to enjoy. But I never thought it was boring, because you can always find an activity that entertains you. I mean there is so much stuff to do, you don’t have to focus on all that meta stuff like WvW, PvP or dungeons. Just have a look at your archivements tab and look for stuff to do, or go around and help some newbes or random people.

The world is filled with action, adventure and fun, it is not always easy to find or see, but if you try to overcome your personal wall, you might see this game completely different.

Give it a try and have fun, that’s all you need to do.

Just wait a bit, the trading post is exploding right now but it will calm down.

And if you follow the blogs or posts of the developers frequently you’ll now that they already are addressing the precursor topic. They wanted to include the precursor crafting also for the april update, but something wasn’t as easy as they thought. So it will get a delay, but is still an option.

Thanks for all the information which is provided in this topic (which is quite old, huh).

I went ahead and created some sort of “natural enhancement” preset in my opinion.
I fully agree with many people who like the regular GW2, but well it shouldn’t be overloaded with mass effects. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Well I work as an Art Director so I’m very interested in art itself. So my goal for that preset was to make sure that the vanilla GW2 still exist while some corrections/enhancements could fit. You could say I used SweetFX as some sort of Photoshop for GW2 xD

I traveled to different places across Tyria to get the most color variation and so on, I tested a lot in dark and bright places to be sure it fits.
Please be aware that I have a calibrated monitor and no graphic-card tweeks like you can do with nvidia and so on. So the outcome may be different on your PC.

Here is the link: http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/1407/
(P.S. it is a no AA preset because I use the AA from GW2 itself, you can change that of course)

Feedback is greatly welcome!

You call it unfairness, which I can understand.
But seriously this change was needed for the good!

A zergfest ruins even more than just this small change for your personal archivement.
I don’t have that archivement either, and I guess I won’t get it with this update. But I can live with that, because now you can enjoy the update how it was probably intented.

I fully agree, that this should have happened from the beginning, but it happened now so we have to deal with it. I’m more happy than mad about this hotfix.

→ Mordremoth is the Elder Jungle Dragon, and the most recent dragon to awaken

nuff said

About talking dragons: I would like to hear them communicate with players, their champions or other elder dragons.

I’d like the idea how it is implemented in Skyrim. At first you are not able to understand the language they speak, but then a certain event triggers and you are able to communicate with or understand them. Something like that would be very awesome in GW2.

If they already able to speak our language, which could be highly possible because they live for so long and are probably very smart (you notice that with the way Jormag or other dragons “corrupt” people or beings).

Especially if you consider Scarlets “corruption” inside her vision/dream she had while being in the eternal alchemy, it seems like an elder dragon (Primordus/Mordremoth) has spoken and manipulated her (yes those are just theories so far).

I hope an elder dragon has a voice like that actor on the Origin of Madness trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y9M0NhHE4w

Good job encouraging them to keep releasing useless contents like this one. It’s thanks to ppl like you that GW2 became the worst MMO around. I hope you’re satisfied.

Useless contents? Worst MMO? In what kind of world do you live?
You must be really alone, I’m very sorry for you, really.

I’m satisfied, so are my friends, guild and other people around. The LS might not be perfect and not everyone likes some of thoses updates, this is just normal and you have to bear with it. This MMO is not made for you but everyone.

It’s thanks to ppl like you that ruins MMOs like GW2. I hope you’re satisfied.

I wonder what you complain about zergs. Seriously, if you are in the war, would you prefer to walk alone or in a small group, or in a massive army with tanks, bombs and a great amount of success?

I was so far in all 3 positions at the event and the zerg is still the best and funniest solution. There are to many Vets and Champs around which are slow to get with just a small group.

Also consider the definition of “MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER Online Game” for a moment, thanks. I don’t want to enjoy those events alone or in small groups, if you want to, then please play Final Fantasy (not the mmo)

People these days…

Well I would vote for Ellen Kiel as the true villain.

These last 4 LS releases are supposed to wrap up Scarlet’s story arc, and they had a huge amount of story content compared to previous releases!

Story? Sure, if you consider heaps of exposition to be story content. I don’t. I’d rather read a book than sit through that. Books have pages that you can conveniently flip, without needing to jump through hoops like clicking through dialogue.

For you and me that might be the case, but if you don’t think about just yourself for a moment, then you may notice that there are still a bunch of new or old players with a long break. I heard from a lot old mates and guild members that this story recap was great. Sure it drives the current story not that much further (you’ll only get the obviously message that LA is going to be attacked). But have a look at the LS threads around, all the people are speculating even more.

Don’t forget this is a MMO, it’s not just for you but everyone. So have some patience if that last update wasn’t that great for you personally.

You know what would be really awesome? It would be not the awakening of just Primordus or Mordremoth but ALL dragons.
I know storywise it wouldn’t make that much sense, but this would cause such a great amount of chaos, that the whole world would be a battlefield.

Well Scarlet could never archive that, nor anyone else.

Another interesting thing would be the battle of the hopefully new elder dragon against a god, or atleast one of the gods would aid the people.

It’s quite off the line, but at least I like that idea xD

I would really like to read that. I’m so curious about the whole GW lore, that would be really awesome.

Flissy.4093:

Mordremoth is too obvious. Red herring if you ask me.

Look over at the lore forums, your theory was suggested weeks ago.

My money is on Primordus. It’s the second most likely but hidden away enough to not really provoke too much interest.

I’m with you here, Primordus sounds just right. I really hope that Scarlet is able to get him burst the hell out of LA. That would be so freaking awesome.

I mean we all could be saved/invited by the Tengu and make the Dominion of Winds our new main capital of Tyria while LA is burning to ground and being occupied by Primordus.

Well at least I like that idea.

I finished it several times now, even with challanging myself (try to use keyboard only).
I love those events!

Btw. I don’t know if someone said this already. But you can keep standing on top of the last stairs and the green poisen wont kill you. You can stay there for an infinite amount of time. And if you are there long enough you’ll be asked to leave the overflow map. Which is great, because you can run the map in solomode.

I had a “funny” bug with this one, which made the boss VERY difficult to beat. But this bug was before the patches came (maybe 2 weeks ago).

Well at the phase where he spawns those 3 ghost eyes I died. While walking back to the room I noticed that those eyes weren’t targeting me anymore but shooting unlimitted orbs/balls/whatver on the floor through the whole room! And when I tried to kill them, it always said “invincible”.

The boss was still warping and attacking me, so I had to defeat him while those other eyes are spamming thos orbs all over the place.
That was the most difficult jumping puzzle I ever did, because I had roll/dodge, jump and attack the boss for about 20 minutes xD
It was a pain in the * but seriously entertaining. After the boss was dead those ghost eyes were still there killing the allies walking into the room. Even at the video where Mr. T. is using his big sword to clean the source, the eyes where killing everything. SO kitten funny, best bug ever!

Well after reading all this and playing a Conditionbuild by myself (Ele with 2k conditiondmg) I would simply suggest this:

Make the cap dynamic instead of fixed or unlimited.
For example limit it to the level / 2 (so level 80 = 40 cap or Level 36 = 18 cap) or smth similar. Of course this is not fixing the problem with the shared cap, but the amount of max. damage we can do. You should not remove the cap entirely because don’t forget: Even while you running, falling down or whatever, you still make damage. While a direct damage dealer always has to be active to do more damage over time. With an unlimited amount of stacks this would end up in a way to much damage over time.

To fix the problem with the “shared” damage, it should be instanced for you like it was always suggested.
