Guild Wars 2

I have done Shatterer the 3 times it has been up since the new patch, and each time I destroy 3-4 pulsating crystal and each time they do not count towards the meta achievement for it. I’ve tried to CC each one I hit and stay until its destroyed and still nothing. I asked around and few other players are having the same problem. Am I doing something wrong or is it just a bug?

Looking for a PvP guild to join. Been Solo queuing for a long time now and would like to find people to queue with

Tired of the pug life, looking for people who actually PvP

Sounds interesting. I would like to help

Legendary Patriarch Wyvern. This thing is FREAKING HUGE compared to the other wyvern bosses. I found this bad mamajama boss roaming the upper levels of the canopy. Was just curious if anyone has attempted to kill it yet

You can mash buttons in any game and get a result. If you want to mash buttons go right ahead. But every good player knows that’s not what happens in good, optimal play. And when you compare your description next to a pros careful consideration of skill use the results show.

I can’t really take your assessment seriously.

Of course 100% alacrity uptimeis possible. Now, demonstrate why that’s actually a problem.

There is a major difference between a player who knows how to play their class and your casual/meta players. The main player base are the latter, you make not take it seriously but they will and I guarantee this will become a meta in no time once they realize it.

100% Alacrity upkeep time is a problem for 1: It makes the general populace of players lazy, they no longer have to have any kind of skill to play a class since all there skills will be off 66% faster so all they have to do is button mash without a care in the world, 2nd problem is how do you expect ArenaNet to produce any challenging content when most of the players do not even know how to play there class and basically expect to be hand feed. Perfect example of this is Fractals, Dungeons, World Bosses, and alot of PvE content, all the player has to do is stack here and stack there and use all there skills repeatedly. What type of skill does that take, ohh thats right it does not take any.

It has been proven time and again that ArenaNet caters to the whims of the general populace, so for the casual/meta player its perfect, while the so called “Pros” as you stated know there is a time and place for everything suffer.

For you to not ever realize the downside for 100% Alacrity up keep time proves you are the Former and not the latter.

So I CANNOT take your feedback seriously, since you clearly do not understand the gravity of this situation

Chronomancer was good overall in the first BWE and just needed some fine tuning. Now they just made it ridiculously easy to keep up “Alacrity”. You can spam your wells and shatter skills to keep up a PERMANENT 20-30 seconds of alacrity(this includes your party members too). So that is a continuous 66% increase skill recharge, combine that with sword 2 skill “Blurred Frenzy” and you never even have to dodge roll. I was reading through some of the previous posts and every is talking about how how they liked or disliked the changes to shield skills, traits, and there viability. I however did not see one post on how it is extremely easy to maintain alacrity (too the point where a 10 year old could do it). Has the community as a whole just accepted that this is a must and just as refused to say anything out of fear that they may nerf it? Or am I really the only one who noticed?

In my personal opinion, a class should be fun, useful, and require a certain amount of skill to play, not just the knowledge of button mashing and using a skill as soon as it is off cooldown. That is exactly what is happening to chronomancer. If I wanted to play a button mashing game I would play Guitar Hero or Super Smash Bros.

Howdy Zetrik…are you EU or NA?

NA

Looking for a casual, friendly, close-knit type of feel guild. I enjoy doing anything PvE related and WvW/sPvP. Message me in-game or on here

I am looking for a laid back relaxed guild that is not a 100% rep. I have a small WvW guild that I do raids with at night that I represent

mmo is supposed to be options by user. this is my first mmo and this April fools has kind of ruined it for me. spent WAY too much on this game to play with my gf and this makes it unplayable in the VERY limited free time we have.

It is one day, you cannot handle for 24 hours? Why not go out and do something until its over. The world is not going to end……So my advice is to get over it and relax
