Guild Wars 2

I’m working on a carrion set currently and do plenty fine in WvW, your not meant as any one person to take on an entire army of other players. I got 30/30/0/0/10. switching between my magic find gear which I currently have with a great sword. traits are heals remove cc affects, second is power to vit, or adrenal power. master is berserker stance or w/e that gives you the Berserker when you get 5 might. Under Arms I got bleeds last 50% longer, 10% crit on sword and last trait is quickness at 25% health or w/e. 10 in discpline is usually melee weapons run faster. Adrenal heal, bulls charge, balanced stance, endurance signet and lastly the elite skill is usally signet of rage. I also switch between the falling damage reduction and stomp skill. That’s hilarious for defending gates. I’ve run full banner build as well and those help people quite a bit, especially the war banner when you rez a group of downed allies. I’ve also toyed with hammer build and longbow, shouts. They make a good difference if played right.

It mostly comes down to adapting to the situation you want to fulfill. Their is no spot on way to build any profession.

Its only a grind because you make it one, in fact many of the people who complain about the grind are desperately trying to make the game as grindy as possible. If you’d rather do the same 15min-30min of content non stop for the hardest gear in the game to get, than exploring any other possible option to get max stat gear( which isn’t hard, getting a set of non dungeon exotics takes very little effort) than that’s your fault.

If you cant be bothered to do more than one path in the span of 30 min in any explorable dungeon or maybe just breeze through a different story dungeon, then you don’t get as good of a reward, boo hoo. You think repair costs are to high? If you die enough to break your armor more than 3 times over and lose more than 30 silver you have other problems, stop corpse running your way through all the encounters and l2p.

I totally agree, these dungeons are designed for hey look at what I got those people that enjoy that part of an older mmo, grinding to get something cool. The exotics I can craft are of the same specs than those of a dungeon… Expect I can make every variety as an armorsmith, not just carrion, berserker and whatever is the tanky healing set. (I think those are your three options)

I agree with the forum poster I’ve down one fail CoM run and a few AC runs, level 80 making my carrion draconic set and having fun helping my friend that I actually bought the game for as well as my own copy. But then again people don’t actually read all the…. who knows how many dev posts they’ve pushed out about making it so you don’t hit max level and farm heroics to do old not new raids like tradionally MMO’s actually are. WoW experience there. But then again people whine when they don’t get what they want, when sadly this isn’t what the game is about. I guess people get mad over ruining their fashion sense ,sense that what dungeon gear is. cool looking.

You havent done cof yet…. so why are you here?

Because I’ve been keeping on how dungeons are going and plan to do them. I did pay for this game as everyone else did. Sense the devs read the forums; I’m expressing my interests and support keeping to what they said about what explorable mode is suppose to be.

I agree with the choice in making explorable dungeons hard to accomplish, they should ALL be like that. That’s what they are, Hard mode for dungeons. I agree fully with the non release of proper patch notes, but everyone makes mistakes and I’m okay with that. After all this is considerable Arena Net’s first big big time MMO. Guild wars wasn’t an mmo at least wasn’t suppose to be originally.

Now however this game isn’t enforced with the original X spec wins, so being able to put your heads together and find out a way to beat the content is actually fun to me than rolling my face on my keyboard, asking over my guilds VoIP if I’ve won yet. Idk maybe my perspective comes from Playing the traditional MMO set up far to long where it’s a grind-fest till you hate the game; so I welcome accomplishment and challenge.

This game is also rather endless in multiple different aspects, such as recently I’ve been doing more WvW, and exploring and actually grasping the Lore of the game deeper. Plenty more to the game than looking cool before the vast majority of other people.

All in all try looking at it from a devs point of view. I also haven’t done CoF yet, as I’m waiting and helping my fellow guild as a whole level up to that point.

I agree with the server transfer idea, if all regional servers get around high population at peak times and sit around medium the rest of the day. Then queue times will be minimal, currently I go play other games sadly. During Beta well WvW was the bread and butter to this game. Sense I’ve hit 80 fairly quickly because the “grind” isn’t in this game. I have PvE content which is boring and Spvp which isn’t much of my gig.

The only true way to fix this issue is to find a server that has small numbers and transfer…. Sadly Arena net hasn’t established a winning server list, or population overall list of some kind to help bestow knowledge to which server might be a good idea to transfer too. Transferring an entire guild of even 30 people can be a pain, much less more members. It’s an option and it doesn’t tilt the table till Arena net gets a witty Idea to maintain balance AND give everyone a chance to play

Third times a charm however, a few waiting around standing next to trehearne but the quest completed this time. I’ll leave this here and give Anet’s QA team the opportunity to look it over and decided if it’s worth looking into.

As the title suggests I get the the royal tombs in the Cursed shore, and we get towards the entrance… The first few times I’ve done this, the first bug was getting to the entrance of the tomb and got wrecked and disconnected. I noticed during that fight more mobs spawn. which isn’t a bad thing, but during my 2nd time without good ole’ internet issues, that additional spawn squence happened in the craft between the ridge as your turn from the base camp. Okay I killed those and rezzed the NPC’s and went to face the abomination no big deal got through that, and their is the bug entailed. I cleared the entire tomb up to the second green start, but it still said escort treehearne or however you spell his name. So I ran back outside and tried to talk to each npc, I dragged a couple of bad guys and made them fight them. That skipped the second part of some kind of ritual ending that failed and a decision of what to do next; but the second part of the quest was still needing to be fixed. Attached screen shot shows what it pointed to before I ran out of the area and gave up. I’ll keep trying a few more times to see if things continue to change or not

yeah I made a video explaining this, for me it only happens after combat stance is activated such as I swing my weapon. Regular sprinting doesn’t seem to affect it. I made a Video for Arena Nets QA team to reproduce and find a fix.

I suggesting going to amd’s driver website and getting the most up to date catalyst driver and (key here) getting the application profile which is guild wars 2 specific . I have a some what older card 5770 and have seen a 10 fps increase just with the application profile. After installing the profile you don’t have to do anything additional.

The application profile only applies to if your 5000 series and past though you didn’t mention what card you have.

Same here exact same symptoms and other people are having the issue as well right before this surprise maintenance is when it started to happen. DragonBrand server

I found that Magic find helps get thing like large claws and say killing an eagle raptor. I have gotten a few rares while event chasing in Straights of detestation. I currently have %43 MF chance with gear,weapon and food buff on. It would be how ever nice to find out how it works considering the way the game distributes progress on a monster by how much you participate
