Guild Wars 2

I apologize if this is not posted in the right place. I’ve heard of websites that post timers for specific meta event boss spawns on different maps (ie. Shatterer, Claw of Jormag etc.) , as well as mobile apps that report those spawn times. Would using those (assuming they have no other function than as countdown timers for events) breach the rules of conduct? I’ve read through the information on third party programs use on this website but am unsure if these “timers” even fall within that spectrum.

Thank you in advance!

Please invite me as well. Been away the entire weekend due to work. First time logging on in a few days.

What I don’t really understand is why everyone is calling this a “gear treadmill”. If I’m not mistaken, a tier above “exotic” already exists in the original build of the game (legendaries). There is currently a massive gap (progression-wise) between standard exotics and legendaries, and the “Gift” exotics don’t help much. The ascended stat improvements seem marginal at best (likely not affecting game balance outside of Fractals in any meaningful way), and Anet has stated that legendaries will be boosted to remain the “best” tier. If everyone is already working towards a legendary, the established “ceiling” for in-game progression, and existing legendaries get upgraded, all this update really does is even out the progression curve a bit.

Legendaries are not higher in tier than Exotics currently. They will be when the next tier Ascended comes out and they will be bumped up. So no…. there isn’t a current higher tier as Legendaries = Exotics.

What I meant was, Legendaries are higher in the sense of “progression”. Something people work towards after reaching high level exotics (kind of like how obsidian Armour was a “higher” tier than standard Droks gear back in GW1.)

Ah okay. I always thought they were a distinct race that was warped by Abaddon.

Oh. I think I saw one on an explorable map somewhere. Huh. I guess they do already have names. They really do look like margonites though…. minus the glowiness.

Hey guys… pure speculation here, but could the margonites be coming back? For the GW1 veterans: margonites were ocean-dwelling people right? I’m assuming with Kormir in charge of the Realm of Torment now, maybe they’re not corrupted anymore and showing up in Tyria again?

Thinking about it, wasn’t there a mysterious winged margonite-like humanoid underwater somewhere in-game already?
