Guild Wars 2

Sword 3 is definitely low on damage. I feel like I do nothing compared to mace/axe, which is what I use for damage most of the time.

Will there be new character customization options released with the new expansion? Or at least, new ones available on creation? Not like…one or two…but a bunch.

Thanks a lot for the feedback guys! I have been considering trying a D/D build again, but…I do enjoy S/P a lot. :P I don’t WvW much but when I do I suppose I might try switching for a bit.

Hi guys,

I’ve been out of GW2 for quite awhile, and I’m about to return. I always loved playing my thief (and it was my main), and I usually ran with S/P. Awhile ago I think it was a viable weapon set for many things, or at least, I did pretty well with it.

Did it go downhill/is it way outmatched by D/D and P/P builds and stuff now?

Since it is taking this long to implement it, I am starting to think they are planning to implement new character hair/face etc. This would of course prompt more people to get the kit when it arrives.

That said, it might not be true. It’s just my guess.

the high drop rate was only for a couple of days, the reduced rate has been for two weeks… abyss is 12g, celestial is 6+g, unids are 9+s….

This may just be one of those probability bad luck things, but I have only gotten two dyes since they fixed the increased drop rate of dyes. I used to get many many more :S

Anyone else having this issue?

Lost all of our progress. we have to start from the beginning AGAIN.

2 people on the giant seal breaking fractal got stuck in the same cage, and the cage couldnt be hit. basically had to 3 man it, and couldn’t.

i’m getting 5-15 sec of delay in the event…

Will it be then? midnight pst the night before?

I threw out my hood like an idiot. I would like it back, since there are barely any (if any) medium hoods. Is there any way to get it back??

Has anyone been able to try Ilya + Lyss + gift of fortune + gift of mastery?

Don’t listen to anyone who says thieves aren’t useful.

In dungeons, I die the least. I blind, and interrupt quite a bit (I go with sword/pistol and shortbow) and with proper dodging and stealthing at the right times, it is easy to survive.

Stealth rezzing is incredibly useful. I play with friends as well as pugs, and I have saved a group from a wipe through using blinding powder, rezzing two people undetected, and then shadow refuge, doing the same thing.

A thief can make the difference between a wipe and a win. Other classes can too, but when people mess up, you are the one who saves them. Other classes can do resurrects too, but only one, and maybe a long cooldown)}

Don’t forget kiting. One thing that sticks out in my mind is the spider bomb fight in TA story. I was the only one who could kite and stay alive, so I had to kite for a decent amount of time while they ran back. Make fun of shortbows all you want, but it is really good during that fight, as a good example. As well as utilizing shadowstep.

I was doing crucible of eternity with my four guild friends, and we spent a good amount of time doing story together. I disconnected during the final boss. I had to patch the game since a new build occurred while we were in there. Of course, I could log back in, but I couldn’t get into the dungeon since it was on a different build.

I lost all my progress, and no one will want to do story again. Is there anything you can do?

I would really like countess anise’s armor :/

This is STILL happening…I thought it would have been fixed two months ago!

Server: Fort Aspenwood
Dungeon: AC explorable
Person left to recruit another, came back, in separate instance. Extra invited person was separated in the other as well. Both relogged, no prompt to enter the instance.

Lost all our progress.

I think they`re thinking about implementing this…although, on the topic of re-naming and trouble with inviting….you can choose ìnvite to party`when you right click on someone`s name. So you could tell people that when inviting.

I personally didnt have a problem figuring it out, but some players either dont oay attention, or cant quite figure it out somehow.

More than one person spent all their jute etc on making the same req 1 simple armor for armorsmithing, until level 40 (crazy) and then either had to pay, or go back and attempt to farm jute, and just gave up.

I found it somewhat easy, but some are not so keen.

Maybe just say, combine these two armor (padding/panel) pieces, with an incription you can make here, and make whatever item is based i the inscription, best way to level crafting, etc.

Hey curly!

My guild (Secret of evermore) is recruiting. We are a small, casual guild based on fort aspenwood. (NA)

We prefer people who are relatively mature (As in, joke around, but not like you’re 12), 18+. most of us work full time, so we are typically be on between 6pm and 1 am eastern time. We aren’t one of those guilds that forces attendance to dungeons or anything, since we all have real lives, etc.

That said, we do enjoy doing dungeons, and run them when we can! there are 10-15 of us, with most between 45 and 65, and an 80 :P. We try to be active, and we do our best to be social, and we try to make everyone feel welcome!

As in, the game gets a tad stale if we’re not chilling with guildies. Oh! we also use a mumble server, so that helps for dungeons and things as well!

We just enjoy playing in general, but we enjoy dungeons the most. its more of a “hey guys, want to run this tomorrow at 9 est?” as opposed to “we are running this, blurghlurghl you must go derpderp.” We also want to do WvW soon when we get enough people running around!

Anyways, if you feel like we seem like a cool crowd, send me a PM on the forums, or try to find me in game!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Hey marconius,

My guild (Secret of Evermore) is a small, casualish guild, and we’re looking for new members to help us grow a bit. So far we have 10-15 people, and we run dungeons when we can. We have been looking to start some WvW before long. Most of us are between 50 and 60 so far, but are leveling. have one 80 :P but we do dungeons (that we can do, at least!)

We play on fort aspenwood, and play between 6 and 1 eastern time (not constantly, thats just the bracket when most of us play).

We promote a friendly atmosphere, where we can just chill and hang out, chat while we explore, etc. We do use a mumble server.

However, we don’t really role play or anything. Sorry

PM me or message me in game if you’re interested!

mesmers take skill (or so i thought)

Thieves…have you ever played a thief in a dungeon? you have to be GOOD to not die.

only going power and vit kitten /p>

Every stat is needed. Except condition/boon duration/damage if you arent going those routes.

power does more damage, precision crits more often, toughness and vitality go hand in hand. Stacking two stats is just not smart. its like those stacking power and crit…you are going to die…a lot.

I agree on the platinum medal stuff. Once in awhile i complete an event all on my own if no one is around…I feel as though i deserve a bit more than if i was there with way more people/less effort.

Hey zen,

My guild (Secret of Evermore) is recruiting some more members. Now, you may turn us down due to:

1. we don’t have that many people (10-15)
2. We aren’t thaaaat high (5 of us are 50-60 now, one is 80)

However, we’re super fun. We like doing dungeons and like trying new challenges. We’re trying to get more people to have a high chance of being able to run dungeons when possible. We’re casual and laid back, and we play between 6 and 12 EST.

Now, if you can get past that, we enjoy helping each other out, and are hoping to do dungeons and things more often. We just need to get the ball rolling with enough members. we are tightly knit and enjoy hanging out! Oh, and we use a mumble server so we can actually socialize while running dungeons/questing/etc.

Let me know if you’re interested? (We are indeed on FA)

My friends and I were running TA story today, when one person went afk. After 20 minutes, we got antsy and doubted he was coming back. We voted and kicked him…when suddenly…all of us did remain in the group together, but we all got removed from the dungeon….and when we went back in, our progress was deleted. Back to the beginning.

Saw “Pecflex McBicep”
and
“megaton killmachine”
on fort aspenwood :P

“rocketkok” as well, although that one may be inappropriate :P

hey mixi,

We (Secret of Evermore, on fort aspenwood) are looking for some new members for our guild! We’re casual players, and laid back. We all work full time and have real lives, so its not a big deal if we cant make events/etc. As in, all we do is “Hey, want to do CM/etc at 8 est tomorrow?” and whoever has time will go. We’re a small group, but are looking for new people to help us grow a bit. We prefer a smaller tightly knit community, which we like to help each other out and run dungeons when we can.

We are a mature group (as in, we obviously joke around, but not in a ‘weed and fart joke’ way at all) We’re a cool bunch, and we hope to hear from you! Whisper me in game if you’re intrerested!

Oh, before I forget! We play on eastern time, so around 6 pm to midnightish range, est.

Hope to hear from you!

The guild I am in is called secret of evermore, we’re on fort aspenwood. Small guild, very lax, people have lives, we get that. we just like playing and chatting/hanging out. Dungeons are fun! we try to run them when we can, despite the difficulty. :P We run on eastern time, and we have jobs etc so we play between 6 and 12 eastern. whisper me in game if you would like!

I wish they would reduce the cost….i want the tier 3 medium sylvari fo sho.

Don’t get me wrong, I hate it when I see heartseeker spammers, but if you can survive that, they’re essentially kitten for damage since they have to wait….depending on their build, anyway.

I agree with this. I feel as though 1h requirements should be halved, since we have to get two instead of just one greatsword, for example.

yes…it’s a little silly that 1h and 2h weapons cost the same mats as well as price in karma/gold.

I was just wondering. I love the GW2 music, and I only wanted to add a couple songs on top of that, in game. Is there any way that is possible?

Had the AC separation bug happen twice. Happened in CM too, but relogging fixed that one, thank god.

I think it could work., even when seeing the shadow behemoth or whatever in queensdale at low levels, it was a classic raid boss type, i.e. boss summons portals with adds, kill portals so adds stop/kill adds, then attack boss, repeat.

This showed me that raid bosses could work, just require cool strategies, etc.
