Hey all,

Wondering if anyone out there have put together some awesome nature themed armor sets together on their druid/rangers? Having trouble finding some that fit the theme. Shoulders from the master druid can be included, I love the design. Any assistance would be great!

Cheers

Is it worth returning?

I’d say just try it. If you own it, it costs you nothing. Just get into it and see how the answers to your questions go. Those things you love mmo’s for I get from this, but I have no idea if you’ll have that experience. So just give it a go, you own it already!

Confessions

10 years later, I still hate the Charr for what they did to Ascalon.

Just wanting to let you know that you’re not alone in that.

My personal confession is that I can’t complete my map because of this heart:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Help_Maxtar_Rapidstep_capture_dolyaks
Even if they’re virtual, unthinking and unfeeling pieces of code I can’t bring myself to take baby dolyaks away from their families.

Edit: A third confession, I silently judge anyone with a world completion star next to their name because it signifies both that they support the Charr legions and that they abuse baby dolyaks. I really need to dial back my roleplaying instincts.

This is exactly like my girlfriend! She cannot STAND that quest. It bums her out so much. Had to do it for her.

GW2 aesthetics

So i was looking through tera’s aesthetics and it blows gw2 out of the water…

http://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/art-media/topics/Show-Off-Your-Character?page=250

can we get cool stuff like those in tera? less plant and risen stuff.

Couple things:
– You can play TERA if you want to, it’s free!
– GW2’s aesthetics are just fine the way they are IMO. While there are some “sexy” character armors in this game, TERA is so over the top it makes my eyes hurt. IMO.

Charr engineer armor

I know that this is maybe the topic number one thousand about to this issue, but I still have some doubts about why ?, why I have such a hard time finding a decent armor for my charr engineer ? Most common complain is the hobosacks, that is my last concern, you really want to suffer an esthetic struggle, be a charr engi, I run 3 kinds of armor Rabid, Soldier, and Assassin, and obviously I don’t want/like run exactly the same default best looking combination of armor (rascal/rubicon/forgeman), but guess what ? absolutely everything else looks ugly on you. I have a couple questions .

  • Why the cultural armor supposedly designed for charr engineers look like some sort of homeless costume ? Charr basically created this profession , why they have a couple of rags as armor ?
  • Ok, so no regular armor look good , let me try in the gem store….. bad luck dummy, you even look like you are using some sort metal tutu , or they don’t have size for you. The Magitech armor is really cool, look awesome on other races, why you can’t making the coat like the rubricon armor ?
  • Why our tails have this magic property that make it possible to pass trough clothes without touch it ?

I know that is maybe hard change some of this aspects without touch sensitive points, but please for the future, put some love on the charr medium armor.

This is killing me, with the HoT release a want to put some serious love in my main, but is so limited what i actually can do to look something fresh

Check out this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/engineer/Your-Charr-Engineer/first#post4896357 For some inspiration.

What Maelwro said; some brilliant armour combinations in this thread.

Nice one. I’m starting to feel like the more muted colours just suit the charr at little more.

you can do dungeons, but you need to realize your limitations. you will be getting carried through them until you hit 80 and gear up. dont let that break you.

Whats breaking me is that it wasn’t this tough on another class. Versatility is nice but the downside of that is being only moderate at everything. Nothing to be excellent at, this dungeon death roll just made me think. I am not really having fun anymore with the class, leather armor is not that great looking and its complex to do what they do.

Seems like you’re continually picking holes in it. If you don’t like it, just stop man. It’s ok. People have given you plenty of good points to work from here, and you keep picking holes. Drop it and try something else.

I really though the Engineer was the class for me after a huge debate between Guardian and it. But leveling has been a hard road. I am 55 now so I feel deep into it, but after so many dungeon runs with me constantly down and never feeling like I am doing anything for the team. This class is starting to make me hate giving up on Guardian.
I keep trying to switch kits to find something that works but the healing turret never keeps me up long enough.
Any thoughts, comments, or other will be much appreciated.

What gear are you running? Are you using combo fields to your advantage?

Engi is a BEAST in dungeons. As others have said though, traits are very important.

I take bomb, grenade and elixir kit. Gives me a TONNE of utility to bring to the group. Its about constantly switching kits, using all your skills, and dodging, using blinds etc. Keep at it, it gets better and there is IMMENSE satisfaction that (for me) playing a guardian simply doesn’t give.

Perhaps you just need to learn how to use them better?

Haha really? Stealing all your ideas! Royal ascalonian rifle just suits nicely I reckon.

Love some of these looks — you’re all awesome, keep it going! -- an alternate look to my Charrgineer with some inspiration from others in this thread.

I like this, particularly the shoulders with the rest of the set. Fused gauntlets of course looking great.

well.. not flashy… but i like it that way more.

Armor is cept the leg armor magitech. Leg armor is cultural t3, backpiece is the slickpack and rifle is the hunter cause 360 noscope

Was inspired by this. Finally have a look for engi I’m really happy with. Will be extra pleased once I get the gas mask!

Thanks everyone for their replies. Looks like Charr can look awesome.

Anyone want to showoff their charr engineer? Looking for some cosmetic inspiration for my own as a lot of the armor just looks horribad on him.

I believe you have to score points, yes. If this weren’t the case people would probably just join a game and not do anything simply for the progression.

Is endgame being developed, or what?

bastiondg.1058

I’m not sure I get why you’re saying that OP. There has been plenty added. And playing on and off every few months isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

And if you’ve been playing since day one beta, then how can you say it won’t keep anyone interested for more than a few months?

There’s plenty of games with other kinds of endgame, this game has enough IMO.

Has anyone else had this experience? Surely this is a big sign that something is majorly amiss? I mean a group game where people don’t want to play the group content?!

As others have said. It sounds like the people you’ve been playing with. Dungeons can be challenging and enjoyable, if the people in your group are relaxed about it.

I think a part of the problem is that people get used to steamrolling through other content (like champ trains) and when they have to concentrate a bit, or try a small amount, can’t be bothered.

So yea, look elsewhere for others to group with. People do play dungeons, and its not that this game is somehow a bad mmo as was implied, but rather that some people don’t want to do what you want to. Good luck finding some new people to run with!

You don’t even have to leave the spawn in EotM (where you are invulnerable) to complete the story and get your chest. Now if you wanna do the side quest for the lil asuran, that’s on you, nobody is holding a gun to your head and forcing you.

Edit: Sorry if that came across rude, not my intention.

So much this. I did the side quest ran down, grabbed the thing, ran back. No-one was there. I realise I got lucky, but still.

Heres a suggestion though, throw out in team chat lfg to grab golem parts. Get a group together and go get it. Unless the other group is larger than yours or something most people will just run away.

Also, if you get attacked, try fight back! You might find it fun!

So who thought it was a good idea too....

Hi all,

So I’ve decided to take another run at this game and logged on a few days ago, after 10 minutes I left as I wasn’t sure where to begin. I realise I’ve missed a lot, having not played since the zergs in the Queens pavillion at divinitys reach.

I have a few questions and hope some players who have stuck around might lend their voices to this thread and give me some direction.

- Is warrior full zerker still the only game in town?
– If I don’t have full exotics on my mains how kitten am I for the new pve events?
– Whats the grind for ascended gear like?
– How fares the current inflation value of gold to gems and how valueable/less is gold currently?

And if you don’t answer any other question please answer this: If you had taken a break for a few months and were just coming back, what would you do now?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

p.s. I am on Blackgate server.

Its very small. Are you sure its the main house?

Its the foyer, I’m currently hoping for a larger tent to spawn adjacent to the current building.

Shouldn’t this thread be in the dungeons section? Since a Mesmer brings a lot more to the table in other dungeons, not just CoF, as it is what this thread seems to be addressing in general.
