Guild Wars 2

I’m currently doing the Draconis Mons Master collection, and one of the last pieces I need involves killing the Bloodstone-charged Lava Wurm. I have killed him 4 times now, and still this scale has not dropped.

Is this intended? Is it not a 100% drop? Or am I missing something?

Got in. It booted me all the way to Lion’s Arch from Chalice of Tears, so now I’ve got to run back and get back to where I was.

Screw your crappy servers, Anet.

Just started for me, can get into the character select screen, but I can’t actually load a toon in.

Already in a foul mood with Anet as it is thanks to the Chalice of Tears for Mursaat token achievement. Why is their mantra “Fix one thing, break twenty more.”?

Your patch updates broke our Guild mission whereas you must capture a tower with minimum of three Guild members and hold till it reaches T1 within the time limit.

About a minute after we captured the tower, our clients force-restart and we come back to the border for a miniscule patch, and we go back to the tower to escort the dolyaks. The tower successfully upgraded to T1 and we never got the credit. We did the mission by the book and with the people required, so the only explanation is the tiny update that forced us to restart voided our initial credit to the capture.

This mission is not an easy mission to complete with a small group, especially since it only takes a small group to ruin it, and we can’t ask the entire server to defend our tower.

If you’re going to make these WvW missions so badly designed, can you at-least make it so these constant little updates you push our that force us to exit WvW don’t also void our Guild Mission credit?

Before you ask, we’re a WvW focused Guild, so we chose only WvW missions as we thought it would fit in better with our play-style, but they’re so badly designed I’m beginning to think other-wise.

The second time the stacks were removed I was at 11, meaning there was no coming back from it as I also failed the first one due to Mad King’s text not showing up and guessing whether to do or not.

I realise now, as I was quite convinced the event was due to end; still, this is a horribly bugged event, considering it’s been a thing for a couple of years now.

PS: Just because it’s every 2 hours doesn’t mean I’m always going to be there every two hours as I do work and I don’t revolve my life on 24/7 GW2. I’m capable of completing the event in one go s’long as it doesn’t bug out on me…

Should’ve reported this the first time it happened… Oh well.

I don’t know how you guys broke a repeat event so badly, for not only is the glitched dialogue and visual representation broken during the King’s initial appearance in Mad King Says, but twice now I have had my stacks removed randomly when initiating an emote too early (getting knocked down because I emote too early).

It was the last instance of Mad King Says before Halloween event finishes, so it’s quite irritating the to suffer it a second time… Why is this event so horribly bugged?

I don’t have any screenshot evidence of it happening because it happened both time quite randomly. I just hope that since you’ve released the same event two years in a row now, you can iron out some of these bugs for next year.

I always grab scraps when new skins come out, and I’ve never been this horrifically unlucky with scraps. Ever.

Whelp, if RNG is going to be such a bad joke on what’s supposed to be a fairly common drop, guess I’m buying no more keys.

I always grab scraps when new skins come out, and I’ve never been this horrifically unlucky with scraps. Ever.

Edit: Even before they buffed the drop rate.

So I had 5 spare black lion scraps in bank, and I rather liked one of the new skins on offer. So I bought myself 10 lion keys and went at it… I got 2 scraps from 10. Thought this a little unusual because pre-winter, black lion scraps were quite common.
I figure I must be unlucky, so I buy some gems for another 5 keys, and make up the difference using gold to get another 5 keys on top of that. This time I got 1 scrap from 10 keys.

3 scraps from 20 chests. Did they recently nerf scrap drop rate or am I missing something?

It’s kind’a bummed me out massively and at this moment I don’t even want to look at the game.

My Engi build. I run with Oblivious in Desolation, and I outlast most warriors/guardians in a melee train against SFR blobs. Every 20s you have a waterfield +2 personal blasts, your bombs heal roughly 250 every 1s for AoE, and damage people for 1-2k every second. Blind bombs, 2 blocks, 2 invulnerabilities, a pull that is the bane of any Commander lacking stabilities. Supply crate for AoE interrupt, and a AoE thrown stealth if someone is downed and about to be stomped. Easy to learn, easy to play. Engineers are very viable in a melee train, just too many people have no idea how to play an Engineer.

Oh, change Auto-protection to Stabilized armour if you’re not very good at dodging trains. I only run auto protection because I don’t tend to get stunned or knocked-down.

Have NOT received my Season 2 chest. Completed META achievements early in the Season.

Correct Place award (Desolation, placed 2nd).

Bombs. Nuff said.

Alrightalright. I had a couple of issues killing Liadri with my nade build, as it’s a little difficult to focus constant AoE targeting AND to keep your camera moving around (to keep an eye on the kitten rift and the death bombs). That was literally my issue, observation.

I swapped over to my bomb kit, increased the radius, made sure I had power shoes on (25% speed, didn’t even need a swiftness trait with this on) and backpack regenerator (permanent health regen while in kit). All of a sudden, no issues. I was able to keep an eye on the entire battle-field with ease. I spotted rifts as soon as they formed, I could keep an eye on the death-bombs, and anticipating the AoE circles was incredibly easy.

I was even wearing my WvW PVT armour, since Liadri actually dies very quickly. I allowed her to chase me around while her attacks whittled pathetically at my 26k hp and 3k armour, and she died in a surprisingly speedy time (I do have high power which makes bomb-training very painful).

I beat her the first time I swapped to my bomb build. Really amazed me just how simple it made the fight.

This would be a nice feature on most vendors that lack the function.

Enjoy having really exciting and challenging fights against skilled BB and Kodash group-HAHAHAHA. Enjoy being bored this entire match up.

Though, we know you guys love getting your easy-as-pie loot-bags without actually earning them. Bahahaha. All numbers, terrible Guilds!

SeaFarer’s just so happens to have their worst tick since the League started, the entire map is red (including all of SFR’s BL, which has not happened all match up, and the few things they do own happen to be Deso based). I’ve even got a clip of SeaFarer’s attacking Bluevale (the only thing we owned) tower in Baruch Bay BL while the BB zerg BLOCKS OUR SPAWN. Gonna upload it soon.

In all honesty though, if SeaFarer’s is so terrified of facing a challenging server that held their own when SFR and JS double-teamed us, and nearly came second during that shameful second display of desperation, stuff it eh.

SeaFarer’s is so desperate to keep 1st place (which we were very unlikely to take off them in the first place), let them pull their tactics; It just shows that SeaFarer’s is like Baruch Bay, it’s all numbers but no skills. We only just came third in a hilarious display of yet another SeaFarer’s desperate plea for help!

Loving how our EB side is being heavily capped by both Gand and FS. No team-work you guys protest? What about FS waving Gand on as we tried to take Briar back in Des BL?

Hi aShotOfDaniels

Have a look at our recruitment thread and if you like what u see drop me a PM on here or mail me in game
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/recruitment/Desolation-Froody-recruiting-PvX/first#post3182276

Cheers

Bry/Braetakk

I’ll give it a look.

Still looking for other options!

Hey there. As the title says, I’m looking for a PvX English speaking Guild based in Desolation, EU. I’m not going to delete my characters to swap servers, neither will I continually guest to another server. Don’t ask, please.

I don’t mind joining a social/casual Guild as long as they have some interaction with WvW and Dungeons. I wouldn’t mind it to be a decent size, too.

I have at this moment three level 80’s. One Engineer, one Thief and one Ranger. I’m levelling three others.

I’m fairly experienced in most aspects of the game. Currently rocking 4,738 Achievement points.

TeamSpeak3 Would be a huge advantage for me! Also, I would really much prefer to be in an English Speaking Guild.

Post here please.
Thanks for reading.

Konvict-Gaming continues to expand as a community! Why not check us out and see if we’re the community for you?

Engineer has the ability to permanently use swift.

Bump. Seriously, take my money Anet. Let me correct my mistake!

Intro:

Welcome to Talon of the Gryphon!

We are a small but growing Guild that wishes to focus on all content that GW2 has to offer. We accept all members, whether they’re veterans or beginners. Our main goal at the moment is to train and level new players and introduce them to the many aspects this game has to offer.

We’re a friendly and casual Guild that has members from many different nationalities.
We are based in Desolation. We’re a friendly casual Guild that accepts any and all nationalities welcomingly, with the only requirement being basic understanding of English.

We do have an age limit for the Guild as Konvict-Gaming is a mature gaming community. We accept ages of 16 and above.

We’re mainly looking for PvP veterans to lead sPvP and WvW groups. Those that show great skill in leading will be chosen as Commanders.

WARNING: We’re a bunch of jokers; friendly jokers, but you’ll still need some degree of humour to fit in.

I think they should allow full name and tag changes. There are tons of people out there who have personal bank guilds like me. My personal bank guilds just happens to have full WvW buffs because I’ve put points into bringing it up, but there came an opportunity to start a group of the regular players in WvW, regardless of their main guild, to form an alliance group sort of under 1 tag, one which would have started out fully capable with claim buffs etc….but the name didn’t fit the organization, so we ended up just starting a guild from scratch with nothing. Being able to change the name and tag would have been a great benefit. It doesn’t make sense that I can change all those things about my character now but can’t change the name of a guild.

You have made a fair point on the full name change. Since you can’t have the same name as another Guild, it wouldn’t cause too many issues with impersonations. Plus, who wants to leave behind a well-upgraded Guild just because of the name or tag, and have to start up a new basic Guild as a result?

My main problem with the lack of name/tag changing is this game is built on Guilds, it boasts about all the different option and control you have over your Guild… Yet I am unable to change four letters; four letters that are slightly ruining my Guild experience. It’s absurd, let us at-least pay for the changes Anet.

I imagine this has been addressed multiple times, and I expect the usual “You should’ve exercised caution when creating your Guild”.

Personally I think they have a point; however, this game was built upon Guilds, as the name implies. Should we not have absolute control over the Guild? The Guild’s full name change probably shouldn’t be an option, but can we at-least change the tag for a gem transaction?

I’ll give you an example of why I personally would like this. My Guild, Talons of the Gryphon, has recently been connected to a large EU-based community which has bolstered its ranks, and assists with team-speak and the use of their site etc. I wanted to change the tag to represent the community Konvict-Gaming, so it reads something like Konv. At the moment it reads HatK (which represents an old fairly large Minecraft server that I used to moderate and use to play GW2 a lot with the Guild).

I understand some reasons why it isn’t implemented, such as Guild impersonation. Personally I don’t think huge Guilds should worry about this, it’s not like [IRON] is going to be slowed by some starter Guild that picked [IRON] aswell, it’ll probably be grounded very quick due to that fact. Plus, the Guild full-name will quickly catch out the mimic tags.

If a Guild tag could be changed via a gem transaction, I would immediately pay for it, since I think it’s worth it over being stuck with a tag that no longer holds any meaning to my Guild.

No, I’m not deleting my Guild which I levelled eagerly just to change the bloody tab.

Thank you for reading

Citizens-coming soon! All the way from the green county of Kessex comes a new taste sensation, Kessex Fried Moa! Our Moa’s are hand picked from specially trained Hunts-men and fried using our delicious secret recipe by our professionally trained cooks. KFM is a finger-licking delicacy that will be open in Lion’s Arch come next month so look out for us in the Trader’s Forum! Brought to you by the Consortium!

I thought the Uncategorized fractal looked like Rata Sum… Mind you I was busy doing jumping puzzles while avoiding arrows.

We all remember Mr. Blingg, Subdirector of the Consortium. All those dedicated hours he spent voicing the Consortium’s newest resort destination with never ending enthusiasm.

No doubt you chewed off one of your legs after hearing his famous quote “Citizens–coming soon, the newest and most unique resort destination in all of Tyria! Brought to you by the Consortium!”

As painful as he was to experience, he did give me an idea which I’ve decided to post here now my leg has been sewn back on.

I want you to come up with a small advertisement line in the same style as Blingg’s quote; This has to be in the GW2 universe, but can be of your own invention. This is a small game to test the creativity of anyone who wishes to participate!

Your advertisement message can be anything between a new weapon developed by the Charr to take down aggressive seagulls to a fancy restaurant that only serves Quaggans.

There’s ONE catch to this, your sentence must end with “Brought to you by the Consortium!”

Blingg isn’t the only one who can double suicide rates in Lion’s Arch!

I’ll start.

Alright then, I’m in if you’ll take me; give me a shout when you’re ready to start the project up.

Still happy to join other projects as well people.

You could always consider using voice recordings instead of relying on text chat.
I’ll admit it would require a bit more effort, but it would increase the quality of the series.

I was wondering if any communities were planning or producing any machinima style episodes inside GW2.

I’ve been interested in the idea for quite a while but I don’t know enough people on this game to really push for anything.

I’m more than happy to jump in any community based video project no matter how small or unprofessional.

I’m mature and polite and ready to listen to other people’s ideas; I also do a little writing on the side (small stories etc) so I’m willing to contribute to the plot/character development or other topics regarding the series.

Give me a shout IG @
Mira Kreeshza
Reno The Turk

Cheers,
aShot.

I’m looking for a PvE Guild hopefully one that specialises in Dungeons.

I have a LV 80 Engineer “Mira Kreeshza”
I’m also leveling a 52 Ranger toon “Reno The Turk”

I’m based in GUNNAR’S HOLD.

I’m polite, friendly and eager to join in dungeon runs or any other type of PvE event.
My main reasoning for finding a Guild is to join a community and avoid pugging.

Leave a message here or give me a shout ingame.

Cheers.
