Have been noticing several people (including myself) complaining about a recurring issue with the turrets:
Don’t know if it is only one specific turret or all of them but when trying to use them, both skill #1 or #2 , you end up being cast out of the turret control after using any of them.
No mobs or orange circles interfered with this. Whenever dyou use a skill while on the turret ( i saw that on the southern turret from the eastern portion of turrets).
Hey guys just found out about the existance of these two hidden locations on the game:
“Thorned Hollow” and “Deserted Coast”. You can check them on the achievement “Dragon’s Stand Explorer” on the explorer tab under “general achievements”.
There are several locations to explore in DS but these 2 are simply impossible to get completion by now according ANET (did some research already).
However these 2 locations are actually “reachable” via map break, although you get no completion for getting there because , as ANET said, these 2 locations still don’t exist at all and can probably be added in a future patch or expansion or living world, whatever.
SOOOO
I thought that maybe exposing this here could bring this to light so people like me or others don’t waste hours and hours trying to get completion for this because its just impossible, even though they are actually breaking map to do so, after all, if you are reaching a part of the map thats not intended you probably can’t make complaints about these places, but well, theres no way to complete the achievement!!
And that’s the very reason i consider this a bug or something that needs to be fixed.
kitten , i just found out about the very existance of these 2 places only because my friend noticed on hte explorer achievements that he didn’t have all areas even with full map completion. Then we rapidly found some guide on YT which actually existed but the guy took 34 minutes to show how to get there but simply doesn’t say at anytime where exactly you need to be to get completion. Fortunately i thought all that was a bit strange and serached more and found this thread here! Thanks a lot cuz it saved me hours of useless exploration!
This MUST be fixed soon or else lots of people will probably get annoyed trying to find these locations. Should simply remove them from the achievement for now and maybe add them back when they actually make these regions to be explorable.
I’m almost ddddgiving up playing this game since the last updates didn’t even mention the legendary backpiece or the new set of legendary wepons….I was really hoping some info on that for months by now. I appreciate the works with gliding on Tyria and shattererd etc but i still want to finish crafting the so anticipated backpiece AND a new legendary greatsword, which i know weren’t announced and could not come in the next set of wepons but, hey what is the reason you guys can’t say a wonrd on this topic?
At least tell us there will be no wepons on the next following months so we can have our expectations down a bit
Article talk about more seasonal update. So maybe Anet consider SAB a seasonal update?
If i well remember there was some DEV talking about SAB and why there is no plan for it anytime soon because when they introduced new physics in the game with dry top and newer maps, they realized SAB wouldn’t work with that.
Maybe i’m wrong but i wouldn’t expect SAB returning for now.
Well, new legendaries should be number 1 priority cuz not everyone is willing to play with the only 3 released yet. Is it really so hard and time consumig to work on all the different kinds of legendary wepons? new Greatsword, new focus, new scepter etc? you seem to be able to do new wepon skins pretty fast cuz we have been seeing new blacklion complete sets being release every few months, but they are almost impossible to get for most players who don’t spend money in-game.
I mean, i know if there were lots of great free or craftable skins people wouldn’t mind buyng black lion keys to earn black liong tickets for that purpose, but why release 3 new legendary wepons but not all of them?
should we expect a 3 wepons onlyrelease every 3 months or so? or will you be releasing all the remaining ones in a future-nobody-knows-when uptade?
However, i was desperately hoping for news on WHEN will the new legendaries come into our hands….yet not a single word on that. I think i’ve see some dev commenting in another time and place about it, but still not sure if “new legendaries coming” meant the “new already existing in game legendaries” or really NEW ones.
I’ve been gathering material and working on earning gold to build my new Greatsword Precursor, which i hoped would be released on january but now i feel completely dismotivated to do so cuz now i realize that won’t be coming in any time soon.
Please tell us more about that. A simply don’t want to craft alastraria, or Hope or Nevermore, i want a new Legendary Greatsword!
I’m sure this has been said but T4 of Verdant Brink Day is pretty much impossible right now because one of the final pact missions bugs out every single time (I forget whats its called), it’s the event where you have to kill the tendrils.
I think you mean the “Creating Help calibrate the Mordrem early warning system” event.
The abomination that should spawn a stinky stuff in which we are supposed to bath in simply doesn’t spawn.
Tried it several times and a lot of people have been complaining about it now that triple trouble is gaining some popularity thanx to guild EVOS.
People say IF You don’t CC abomination You have more chance of getting it but this didn’t work for me
One of the devs recwntly spoke about priorities and he States that the number one is fixing thing that are blocking our progresso towards legendary’ crafting. So i assume the gifys will be released still in december
Well it is fun RAIDing when u have guildies who are good enough to do them and with a certain consistency and frequency. But try to pug raids alone and You will see that it becones no fun at all…You can get one sucsessfull run in a thousand fails.
Maybe they could fix this by crafting some more fractals and switching them with some of the swamps and molten bosses só that there will be only LVL 2, 32 and 67 for swamp. And LVL 40 and other high lvl for molten boss. Só maybe we get some fun, long lasting and rewarding low LVL fractals for daily.
Or maybe they could only fix the droprate as they are doing and then forget about fractals and create something new as they have been doing for quite some time. Something that will drag players towards the new contente as they dos with dungeons. We need new stuff. Raids are not for everyone and then there are few who have time/patience to keep waiting for hours to beat gorseval or vale Guardian.
I would love new dungeons, living world and those new maps.
Its fun doing events now in the HoT. I wasn’t happy with them before the expansioni but these maps and events are awesome, they are dinamyc and fun to do.
But wait this thrwad is about fractals
2x +1 ar = 1x +2ar. Keep crafting or buying them until u reach a +10 for example (would need 512 ).
Thats for the agony infusion slots 1 and 2 in case u have an attuned ring (infused) wich have 3 slots in total , the 1st one being a simples offensive, defensiva or utility slot, in which u put a +7 versátil simples infusion.
VG is puggable but gorseval dont. At least for some time. Gorseval need really high DPS check and generally speaking , pugs come using something wrong, worng food wrong gear or wrong skills or they simply cant do their rotations good enough for the higher DPS.
Judging from what i have seen so far, too many have beaten VG but a few has beaten gorseval. And thats why they changed the no break bar strategy for VG on that latest patch ( its not in the notes but they already conforme that on the fórum).
I know ppl would also get them by silverwastes or other ways but i want to buy them using the good old way using karma only.
However this part of the game seems to have vanished since HoT release thus making me post this trying to gather people who would join on helping opening the temple.
I want the shards to craft mystic clovers for getting the gift of fortune and i think a lot of u guys will want to do thesame since it will be necessário for the legendary backpiece and or wepons.
I suggest day 4 of cecember at the time the server resets, just after tequatl, since many ppl like to kill him everyday.
I would like someone helping organizing since i dont know all the details
I got kittenid off when i realized that in the group of pugs i was in for gorseval, there were people using magic find food…i mean wtf? At this point everybody should know food is a big deal on this battle as the runes and sigils. One of them was using sigil of the night…cmon
Sadly gorseval requires people who can stay alive even while full zerking and also doing heavenly DPS for the entre battle. This is the kind of playstyle that a few people can do, unfortunately.
Thx for sharing this. It is nice to know more but sadly we don’t have any informativo about how the specific aggro table for vale Guardian works. It may be aggroed mainly by the level of toghness, as it may also involves DPS or even armor or citality…who knows. But the most tanks seem to be able to tank him just having more toghness and dpsing him. But now i know that this may not work as expected for some cases, in which the players will probably have to figure out a way to hold aggro by changing stuff like gear and tactics
Well he must have some trait wich raises toghness or skill, just like the mesmer does with the mantras. I foud myself getting aggro from tank while channeling mantras and then i realized that while channeling them my toghness raises up by 600
But Looking for Raid was way better than LFG in GW2.
You coul log in alone, click in LFR and soon you would be in a random group already with the right ammount of DPS,Healers and Tanks. No need for TS, but this doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t need good communication though. The kittenty part was DICE ROLLS for LOOT….that was awful.
TS is nice while raiding, it adds some life to the group, you can coordinate better, give advices, call out for stuff happening, correct people who are messing up and have fun, besides the emotional part when u guys actually defeat boss togheter. But its realy not needed.
Yeah, everybody go SOLDIER stats and in about half an hour the boss would be down eventually.
I would like to see challenging stuff in Raids more like WoW did. Seriously. Most people say WoW raids are easy, which is probably true, however easy doesn’t mean BORING. And challenging doesn’t mean FUN either.
WoW’s raids were fun to me at least, not because difficulty but mechanics were fun to do, timers were also there but it was nothing about a DPS check only, but it was about a group being coordinated enough to fulfill roles in the right time while keeping DPS and even defending themselves in certain moments.
Its like some fractals. I like fractals because they add a different experience than normal dungeons. people actually need to be sync to do some stuff and act at the right time or esle the group is punished. Well vale Guardian has the green circle and the breakbar, but thats not the same thing as fractals since the group’s challenge is DPS instead of dealing with mistock instabilities or something else.
I love how the Gorseval fight works. Theres actually many things going on but they are in a script rather than a chaotic RNG like the fight with VG.
But seriously, whoever put those updrafts in that platform must be trolling everybody and must be laughing loudly.
I don’t know why exactly but if you look at the map you will see that ANET put Sirit Valley as a new Map north of VB instead of an instance lidke the other dungeons. Maybe that has to do with 10 people rather than 5 ppl parties. Nonetheless, the fact that need 10 ppl causes too many people to stand at the Raid door and actually ruin VB experience. Not because everybody is doing Raids instead of events, this will soon back to normal IMO, but because people who want to reach T4 map in VB can no longer achieve that since you cannot reach full map to do it. There were always ppl on the map who is doing other things, but now this was taken to a whole new level.
Please implement a RAID LOBBY ASAP.
A simple instance for those who want to join a group for raid, OUTSIDE VB.
This would also join people from all Overflows into the same instance, making it easier to find people.
Its ridiculous to see how many people act like IF devs didn’t do their work on balancing classes. I dont think there is actually a needed and a useless class for raids. Just good players , good gear and a bit of strategy. Comp may be a thing but not as hard as they claim
Dont need to. Just see how many people find it difficult to beat vale Guardian and You will see that hardcore means hardcore. Besides, IF it wasnt, there wouldnt be released as a guild oriented stuff and there would not be people asking not to nerf it and other asking to do it. There would be only people talking about other things or just that it is easy
Selfish skilled ppl dont want to see bad players with the same gear than they are using or claiming that raids are easy just like they do. Not having noob mode in raids make them feel more capable and more unique, besides they can always tell ppl who dont complete the RAID that they are not good enough and things like " maybe this contente is not for You".
Its because raids are actually a hardcore content on a casual game. Even ppl who are veterans may find it difficult to beat. But the main issue right now is to find a group of 10 ppl who are able to fulfill all of this:
Have hours to try it out
Have skills to beat it
Have gear
Have the right comp for group
Good communication
Patience
Be openminded to try new things
And the list goes on.
There are players like that indeed, but try to join 10 of these in a random group and u will see how difficult this is
Ascended droprate in tequatl and fractal are barely reaching 0.5% imo. Ive done thousands of fractal in the latest months since they introduced ascended gear to it but still got only 1 ascended chest in fractal and not a single one from teq. It can drop indeed but its not a thing ppl would do only to get ascended. Specially who is used to pvp.
Hope the next update on fractal raise this to something like 10% or like that
Well, try to post on lfg need help with “x” fractal and see how many players are actually willing to help You out instead of complaining. Ull b surprised. Ive always seen stuff like that, people helping people who asks for help. But IF u dont ask, then ure supposedly to be a know it all fractal dude who cant do mistakes. This way u wont have this kind of elitista coming to your group.
How about creating some RAIDing quaggan bots to fulfill the squad instead of dumb and lazy people who keeps getting afk and complaining about necros? This would kill the hours of waiting on raids and help people to complete it.
U guys who do have a lucky and skilled and commited group simply cant see how frustrating it can be when every group u are is failing for variedade reasons, not because 1 or 2 players are bad. U think everybody else who cant beat the RAID is because they are noobs
Not to count people who lie sayin that they have zerk gear when they actually are not, or when ppl forget to bring foods then goes out to buy, or bathroom….
We all know what to do, have read guides ans seen vids… Just couldnt find a group to beat it till now. And my skills were never in question. Ive done almost every content in pve. Fractal achievements, soloed achiements etc i dont play bad definately. But still im always with a group who something happens then 1 guy give up, then wait for one more, then he hets kicked, then another guy needs to go out or play with his dog etc etc etc. We can almost never get 10 ppl to run this for like 10 trials with the same guys on the group
I vê been doin this with a guild group also , and they all were full zerk except for tank and healer. Ascended full. It doesnt make a diference. We get wiped every time because someone get down, then somebody Góes for rezz, then the circle wipes out everybody or seekers. I mean the problem is not gear,definately.
