Guild Wars 2

is there a way to get to those smaller airships on the map?

What are and/or where are the start of any jump puzzles in labyrinthine cliffs.
I already did the one for the achievement best dive ever. I was wondering if there were any other ones since i see all of those ships floating in the sky, it looks like theres more, but i can’t seem to find any on youtube except for the best dive ever. is that the only one?

It’s not there.

I had moved my gw2 folder to an external hard drive for later use while i was taking a break.

Once I put gw2 back on my computer I noticed that thw gw2 folder only has the following in it:
music folder
screens folder
arenanet.log
local.dat

do i need to redownload gw2?

I used to play since beta, and I played for a about 3-4 months after launch (up to about mad king, and the karka island patch or w/e theyre called).

Anyways after seeing my friend playing GW2 again, I was thinking about hopping back on.

So my question is, how is the GW2 economy nowadays? What are the general trends? etc… whether it’s crafting materials, junk, exotics, high end items, high demand items, the ups, the downs, stability, etc…. pretty much anything on what it’s like nowadays especially compared to the first few months of the game.

I keep getting the mail “More Information, and Our Thanks!” from Miyani.

This happens when i do things such as log in, move out of over flow, use way points, enter a dungeon, etc…

made a thread like this a minute ago but it got deleted.

still cant do it. and yes i talked to the npc

The wreckage I just get “this isn’t relevant”, apparently you have to do things in order (which is stupid and you aren’t even given a hint about that) so I tried that and i still couldnt get things to work.

also how many items do i need to jog Saballa’s memory?

but with all of these bugged events going on, should I even worry?
All i get after all of this is 5 commendations anyway, completely useless.

Disappointed.

-No Dueling.
-Thieves still at large. there was a sizeable CnD nerf, but nothing to mug or backstab or pistol whip.
-Warriors still at large, no nerfs (besides dual shot), very surprising.
-Mesmer portal nerf should’ve been PvP only like they did for some other skills.
-Engineers will still and forever be a gimmicky clunky class that will never be competitive.

You’re gonna be really pissed off when you find out Dual Shot got a buff :P

Oh God ;w;

can it be warrior tiemz nowz?

I bet you those two play Thief and Warrior

(also in before thread deletion like the other one in general forums, lol at trying to clean this up)

what are the odds (after the 1 in 4) of each jackpot?
the 1000 gems seem to be a sizable difference from the rest.

“one shotting is balanced cause you can just block/dodge it”

I am fairly disappointed that after this patch dueling still has yet to be added.

I remember a Dev saying a couple months back that they were planning on allowing duels. So where is it? When will this finally get implemented?

The one thing I was looking forward to, and I’m sure many others as well considering GW2 is supposed to be a more PvP driven game than most mmo’s have been really let down by this.

It astonishes me that there isn’t a title for completing jumping puzzles.

The title can be earned after completing X jump puzzles.
This way people won’t have to worry about holiday jump puzzles (clock tower), and it can leave room for a higher jump puzzle master title when more and more puzzles are added in game.

So I just need WvWvW points to finish my map completion.

My question is, do the points on wvwvw map reset after a month? I remember grabbing some vistas, pois, and skill points before on certain maps, but i had to redo them the next month (unless im confusing them for the other battlegrounds?). Cause i thought it was just skill points that reset each month.

once i do complete my map completion, am i able to recomplete for map completion rewards then when farming skill points each month in wvwvw?

I tried searching, but i just find QQ threads about getting wvwvw map completion being a pain. im just worried about things resetting each month and having to do it over and over again each month if thats the case.

Or like they had (have) on Guru, where you could jump from dev-post to dev-post

You mean the dev tracker?

It’s nice to have. But I’m talking about if you’re already in a sub-forum and then see a thread with a dev post in it, then you go into that thread which is several pages long.

Put a button at the top of the thread to skip to the first dev post please.

I hate opening a 10 page thread, wish i could find it.

pistol > focus > sword = torch

as far as off hands go

How about a compromise.

What about on the second hit?
Attack, attack/clone, attack, attack/clone, attack….
so every other

Magic find gear, then w/e you want

1) Toss up, up for debate. I can see it on both sides.

2) well then, that’s a bug and not intended.

3) clones all do pretty much no damage, i dont see why you think some are weak and some aren’t unless you’re mixing them up with phantasms. Phantasms is supposed to be for dps, clones are meant to be meat shields and to be shattered. that’s why it’s far easier and faster to pump out clones like a factory rather than phantasms.

4)it does a charge when it spawns. LoS is a dynamic part in games. why should this be an exception?

5)iduelist is high burst yes, but with a long wait time inbetween. it’s still good damage though. Iwarlock I find to be better for PvE boss fights in dungeons with a condition build since it’s on staff.

6)blurred frenzy is fine. In fact it halts you in place and you can’t move while you’re swinging your sword like a mad man. so if you’re getting hit by it then move, cause the mesmer roots themself in place pretty much while using it. (though i like to use pistol 5 to stun people and then clone swap/blink to them to blurred frenzy them while stunned, but thats using actual tactics to make opportunities)

a)not sure if you mean mesmer damage as a whole or just blurred frenzy. if just blurred frenzy see above. If mesmer damage as a whole, our damage is actually a wet noodle compared to other classes (like warrior, necro, thief, ele)

b)if they can’t spot a clone that’s their own incompetency. clones stand still pretty much and don’t run around like a player. clones spam the number 1 ability, so if you cast another animation its easy to tell. clones should copy the animations you cast imo. you can set a target on the mesmer above their head, imo it should clear targets when you summon a clone, but at least it does clear the target on you if you stealth. clones health bars dont resemble yours at all which they should. clones dont show the exploration star by their name if you have one so thats another obvious thing.

i) I think it could use a slight buff, maybe a wider aoe range and slightly more damage. keep the 1 boon rip the same though.

ii) i think it should cast confusion a little more often, just enough to help sustain your confusion stacks to be up on a target if you happen to be a confusion spam build and you arent taking a short break from pumping confusion (so it will fall off if you arent dpsing constantly) but not enough if you arent a confusion spam build, cause they fall off pretty easily.

iii)i can agree with this

Link keeps showing up as bad due to the forum being over protective:

remove the space between http: and //

update: tried it a bit more on a map that was just me and two people.
I easily 1v2’d an engineer and necromancer consistently without dying.

There’s the sPVP build I came up with.

It’s main focus is to make you extremely hard to kill via healing a lot constantly on a low cooldown and condition removal as you widdle them down with Phantasms and your Greatword/Mainhand Sword.

I found a good combo to do is to stun with Pistol’s 5 to allow you guaranteed hits with MH sword 2 since it forces you to stand in place (which is stupid).

I’ve only played one match so far with this build. But overall I did amazing. I wouldn’t die and I wrecked havoc on 1v1’s and 1v2s even.

To make a PvE version of this build:
Swap blink out for Mantra of Pain which is good with restorative mantras for group healing since theres no CD for it.

and swap out anything else to your discretion.

Is this heal ability effected by the following:

-Harmonious Mantras (mantras can be activated 3 times instead of 2)

-Protected Mantras (increase armor while casting mantras)

-Mender’s Purity (remove a condition each time you heal, would this effect each instant cast or the long charge cast)

-Restorative Mantras (heal allies when you cast a mantra. This is the big one, i want to know if this effects when you only do the long cast which i think is what it does, and secondly if this also triggers off of mantra of recovery for more healing to yourself as well as allies)

Norn
Mesmer
no speed boosts (i thought speed boosts didnt apply or were ripped off in the CT)

I for one, LOVED the clock tower. It was exactly what it was meant to be: a challenge with a curve.

I don’t want a jump puzzle that anyone can do because it would ruin my accomplishment.

I found it very fun and I actually hope that there will be a ton of jumping puzzles such as the clock tower in the future as well.

For those complaining about your race for being too big or too small, i really don’t get it. the only issue there was is that everyones characters were covering each other in the beginning, but that effected everyone and had nothing to do with race. after the first few seconds it didn’t matter as others fell and things started to spread out more. to solve this, there can be individual instaces, though i actually prefer being with a group of people/friends cause it makes it more fun.

The only thing that disappointed me was that there was no exclusive title for this achievement (yet there’s a silly pumpkin carving title -_-) i really wish there’d be more jump quest titles. Especially for jump quests that are out for a limited time like the clock tower, or else people would have an infinite amount of time to practice until they finally get it. jumping titles would be amazing.

I’d also like to see some more jumping puzzles with moving platforms/objects/ etc…

Please Josh Foreman, don’t let these people stop your creativity and making actual challenges.

And all i got was this lousy T-shirt.

(aka: three greens)

I can’t believe this -_-

Someone mind explaining why i would ever want to get the explorer’s exalted set over the knight’s exalted set?

http://www.gw2armor.com/norn/female/crafted/light/display.php

As you can see…

explorer’s exalted masque:
73 defense, 32 power, 32 precision

knight’s exalted masque:
73 defense, 32 power, 32 precision, 45 toughness

this goes on for every piece. everything is the same, but the knight’s set also has toughness.

so why ever choose the explorer’s?

I agree.
Aside from the obvious with how the health pool looks and the weapons…..

i have some other things to add:

-They only auto cast the auto attack and at their own pace, if you cast anything else or stop for a second, then it’s obvious. They should only attack when you attack, and if you use another skill, they should perform the same animation to make it look like they’re casting it as well.

-They don’t move. Make them be able to move around a bit like a player. this might be hard or almost impossible to make, but if possible, it’d be nice.

-Saw a friend dueling a mesmer, every time he fights a mesmer he instantly just places a target over them. the only way to get rid of the target is stealth. However, if you summon a clone(s) then they should have a target too, or it should clear it.

Got on the forums today and saw something I haven’t seen before.

The list of all of the forums were in English, as usual. But the Dev tracker along with its description was in Spanish, but everything else was still English.

Edit: just looked back and it fixed itself to be English again. But why it showed up in Spanish regardless of the rest of the webpage was kind of weird, has anyone seen this before?

cool, I got it

http://imgur.com/pOJ4t

trying to get those last three points. I have literally tried walking everywhere on every floor in that area. tried looking it up on gw2.mmorpg-life, but they haven’t finished the black citadel.

This why we can’t be too tied to the black lion trading company!

We need to trade and barter more, in fact, “more people should learn how to bargain”.

Yes, but I was hoping if there was any word on what exactly they may be looking at and considering and what things they may not be.

If there have been any posts about any certain suggestions that they have made. or some kind of compiled list of statements or something.

I second this notion.

I check these forums almost everyday, and browse through the Arena net posts on the dev tracker. I noticed that the devs take a great deal of their time to reply to a lot of our posts and communicate on some problems (mostly bug and ticket issues), and kudos to them for that.

However, I have not really seen any posts by devs at all in the suggestions forum since its creation.

Have they said (or does anyone know) which suggestions they will be implementing, highly considering, not considering at all?

I kind of wish they’d go down the list of several popular suggestions and would make a statement about them for us to know. So far the only one I know about is a dev post saying that there will not matter what, not be a CoD or trade system.

another bug during this personal story aside from the deck teleporting:

when you travel along the beach with Zott to call for an airstrike on the siege weapons.
It’s possible for the bone wall shields to spawn again (after you destroyed them with the cannons earlier) and block the air strikes from destroying the siege weapns and thus can not progress.

this means the personal story requires a minimum of two people to complete, by keeping one person on the ship to destroy the respawning bone walls that should’ve been gone.

How do these posts directly relate to the Trading Company?

oh boy……

The trading company is related to the ingame economy whether it be gold, gems, trading, buying, selling, supply, demand, pricing, drop rates, etc… anything to do with economics of the game pretty much.

Farming is figuring out a plan to come up with the most effiecient way possible to gain item X, which will then be eventually introduced into the ingame economy for trade, etc…

It has everything to do with making money and the black lion trading company.

This for dungeons obviously, not open world.

I’m sorry, but you shouldn’t be able to just keep respawning and suicide running towards a boss. If you and/or your party dies, the way point should be contested, the boss area should be blocked off, or the boss should reset. It’s just really silly you can just stream people running back to the fight to down a boss, that’s not how boss fights should work.

you shouldn’t be allowed to suicide run bosses in dungeons, the way point should be contested or the boss should reset.

It’s rising along with inflation as intended. Gems are becoming more expensive over time.

(sorry for the double post, i cant get the edit button to show, one of the forum bugs)

Though to circumvent this, Anet could make it so that if you want to vendor an item it has to be fully repaired or something. Though I hope not, cause this is pretty funny.

Zak.8274:

I would venture to say that I abuse the current TP a bit in a couple ways. None of which I would say were intended in its creation. MIght be helpful in gauging it’s status.

1. Buying greens at 1 c above vendor sell price and then being able to sell a full set of equips at a 10 c loss to vendor everytime I level to the next tier (this is lolzy, also I never repair because I can always just replace equips for a 1 c loss).

2. Buying base mats on the TP and then being able to refine and sell for more despite the 15% fee. (this is slowly becoming less viable as the market stabilizes though).

3. Speculation using the offer feature. This usually allows you to dodge the 15% fee because the offer is almost always at least 15% below the instant price for commonly traded items.

4. Free leveling of crafting via refinement and sale to vendors. (the prime example of this is in artificing where you can buy dusts on TP for less then the sale price of the tuning crystals you make them into to merchants).

That’s actually quite hilarious
Especially number 1.

Happened to a friend of mine who sent in a ticket.

The response he got back was that Anet, literally doesn’t have the tools/proper system to get it back even if they wanted to. which is really sad and disappointing, you would think it’d be a basic thing to have for a game.

That’s also why during the karma exploit, Anet had to ask people to delete their stuff, because Anet couldn’t do it themselves.

A lot of the times when I want to quote a post, the buttons in the bottom right of a users post sometimes has the quote/reply button and report button missing for everyone on that page. But other times it is there. Why is this?

Edit: On a side note, when editing a post, can you guys try making the edit box a bit bigger? it sucks having to scroll through the box with a tiny vertical margin.

C.o.d wouldn’t work for bartering

that’s the point, so it can be taxed, for those worried about trading getting around that.
