Point of the story is.

If someone doesn’t play “perfectly” then rub it off your shoulders OR leave the party/group instantly.

If you instead prefer to call them names (regardless of how “tame” they may be) then be prepared to be called an a22hole or garbage afterwards.

You all have a great day.

Have a great day as well! I hope this post helped get some of that anger/frustration out!

Not being sarcastic here but IT DID lol

we good?

okay. adios!

carlito.8954:

you are clearly here to start problems

Said a guy who called people “garbage and keyboard warriors” on a video game forum because they expected you to have some knowledge about content. Your bait is so obvious that I am not even gonna report this thread.

Yeah and well deserved to. I looked real quick through your first page of post’s and man i gotta say you’ve keyboard fighting for a while it seems like.

Miku.6297:

While I do agree with you, the attitude is really unappealing. Honestly Like Lux said the game is casual so there is no reason for people to act like… Lux xD.

At the same time the one resounding point I agree with him/her on is, why did you not just say it in game. Why bother coming here and posting something like this? If you have an issue with another player take it up with him or her.

you know..i really did think about taking it up with the guy ingame.

But just like i ignored most of that lux guy’s post, i chose to ignore the dude in game cause in my opinion you cant change people who have that nasty attitude.

Perfect example is what this Lux guy just demonstrated…He read my post and then reacted the way he did. There were so many things wrong with his post but honestly there’s no point in arguing because in the end, tomorrow he will wake up an kitten .h.o.l.e anyway.

So instead you come here and call everyone that acts like that garage and you call people here aholes so how is your attitude different to the guy who called you a ‘casual’? Pretty sure calling people garbage or kitten is worse than being called a casual.

Bro…

If person A treats person B like an a22hole, then Person B is in the right when he calls person A an a22hole. Its simple.

and now your becoming problematic my putting words in my post. I never called EVERYONE ( as you say ) garbage. Go back and read OP.

Also, if i am in a fractal and i happen to play it in a different way than you do, there’s no need to call me a ‘’casual pug’’ because you don’t know nothing about me. I could be the best dam thing to log into GW2 yet because i play differently i am a ‘’casual pug’’?

i like this back and forth we have but i am about to leave work and wont be able to continue much longer "/

TheRandomGuy.7246:

carlito.8954:

We have jobs, Wifes/Girlfriends, kid’s, pets, are in sport teams, travel, LIVE LIFE, etc…we don’t play every dam day for hours at a time.

I know a lot of people who have all this and also are a very good players. Are you trying to use the “no life” kitten here?

carlito.8954:

To all those who look down on people that don’t know a certain part of the game as good as you…you are garbage and a cheap keyboard warrior. Plain and simple.

And here you are. Looking down on people because you have “a life” and they don’t.

We have another “Problem starter” here.

Bro..Not ONCE did i mention anything about me having a life and others don’t.

If i am looking down at someone, which im not, it would be people like you who like to be a22holes for no reason and just start problems.

i ALSO never said you cannot be a good player if you have all those things mentioned on the post.

I know im wasting my time right now. you are clearly here to start problems and nothing said will change that. lol luckily im very bored at work this afternoon and i have time to waste, but not for long so make it quick man.

But be honest, is your first post the picture of a calm, rational, good attitude?[/quote]

I never claimed to be a calm, rational, good attitude type. No my original post didn’t resemble that and i didn’t intend for it to. Like i said earlier…i just wanted to get a plain and simple message across. I didn’t care for a response or opinions, although the good ones are always appreciated!

I’m not perfect..but i sure as hell would never treat someone in a negative way because they don’t know every aspect of a video game, my 9 yr old cousin does that when he plays CoD. I guess i’ve learned a good lesson here. Definitely not posting anything like this again lol

Miku.6297:

Wait so you choose to ignore things that bother you when they happen… Then go and talk about them with others? In that case you didn’t really ignore.

If you don’t want to hear how others feel about the issue, why post here to talk about it? You are going to get responses from both sides. As far as Lux’s post goes; yes I agree his post was basicly a PERFECT example of the horrible attitude.

I never intended to start a conversation about that specific incident. The purpose for my original post was pretty much in the last part. I wanted to get the message across by using my own personal experience. My bad if you or other thought i wanted to talk about it.

Miku.6297:

Lux Dominatoris.3941:

So what? Do you need safe space from the mean people that are telling the truth? Oh boy, you’re so perfect, you have a LIFE! Who would have knew? We all have lives, we all have families (part of or our own), the majority of us either study or work. And guess what? Not all of those are casuals.

If your time must be divided between a videogame, a job and a child, then set your priorities. That videogame should be the lowest on the list. I never understood this pathetic argument. I’m bad at the game because I have a wife, child, job, A LIFE, thus you are a no-lifer useless keyboard warrior.

News flash. You don’t need to play 24/7 to be good at this game, which, is in itself casual compared to the majority of titles, online or offline. But I guess you are so bad that if someone is able to facetank the new archdiviner on a zerker mesmer you think he is a no lifer. Why didn’t you say it to that person in game? Afraid? Aren’t you also a keyboard warrior by threatening others over the internet with violence? Let me guess, in real life you are a promoter of “tolerance and acceptance”.

You were bad, but your fragile ego cannot accept the truth, it haunts you so bad and you go on the forums making a useless topic acting like some sort of though guy. Grow up, kid and git gud.

Holy kitten bro….

Did you forget to take your meds today? What did life throw your way to get you miserable?

Grumpy kitten kid….

I know i can google this and after 10 minutes of reading i may find an answer. However, im sure someone out there can ( and would love ) to give me the quick and easy.

I am Mastery LVL19, trying to get the auto loot thing but i ran out of MP.

What are some quick things i can do to grab some more from tyria?

DoctorDing.5890:

I don’t do many fractals since the patch but “casual pug” would describe me perfectly.
I’m too long in the tooth to let another casual pug rile me in chat, and in GW2 that sort of behaviour is rare, but it does amuse me when someone starts ranting about the pugs in the party, as if they are not also a pug.

I agree with you Doc. That’s why i didn’t waste time on the dude like the first guy suggested on this post. However, surfing through the forums earlier something just urged me to post about it, i guess.

foxcat.4096:

Thing about fractal is that to be getting ascended chests you will most likely be doing high level fractals which really means you already have a lot of ascended stuff for the required agony resistance.

I really think for your first set you will most likely just have to bite the bullet and craft it. In the mean time make sure to run teq every day for the chance of a weapon chest drop other things to do are complete the leystone armour collection armour pieces are purchasable for map currency now so it is easily farmable and will give you a free armour chest and the events will give you gold and materials for crafting other ascended stuff.
If you are into pvp wvw rank chests can give you ascended drops and i assume the new reward tracks can aswell. In spvp there is a belief that the glorious reward track has a slightly higher chance of providing ascended stuff and my anecdotal evidence is this is true.

Once you have one character fairly decked out in ascended stuff you can put ar resistance stuff on your gear and do the daily high level fractals for a good chance of ascended drops.

Great advice man. I didn’t realize the whole AR for higher fractals thing. This looks the best route for me right now, thanks/

‘Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you.’

I like it man.
Never seen this quote before. I know you get where im coming from!

Sird.4536:

Maybe you should have told him this in game.

Thanks for your input.

Thank you all.

Trinkets are easier to get that’s why i said i was not worried about them.

Good tips for ascended gear. I will do a little research on crafting ascended gear but it seems like fractals will be a little easier just may not get what i am looking for. Again, thanks.

I think exploring and unlocking WP’s is one of the best things about GW.

Having the option to buy them just takes that right out..

Bad idea in my opinion. At this rate pretty soon people wont even need to play GW cause everything will just be given to us for a few Gold..

Best/Safest/Easiest way to acquire ascended GEAR and WEAPONS?

Currently i just have exotic WEAP/GEAR but want to aquire acended…what is the average person doing to grab ascended gear…

P.S Not concerned about trinkets! lol

i grabbed all 11 HP’s from verdant brink but now its taking me forever to get HP throughout tyria. Any suggestions?

The text datamined with the gloves says “Chaos Gloves Have Arrived!”. The fact that it has text with it heavily implies that it will be a gem store item. And the ecto comment is because in GW1 you got the gloves by trading in a stack of dust and 75 ectos; the ecto-skritt likely won’t have anything to do with it.

Cool. given the historical context that makes more sense.

Looks like an insta-buy for me after trying it out in the preview panel with a few characters. Assuming it’s not 20 bucks or only in a bundle that’s 20 bucks.

How were you able to preview them? i’d like to!

Type this code into chat, brackets and all.

[&AgFLMwEAAA==]

You’ll be able to click on it and preview from there. (Be aware it will announce it to everyone who has that chat, so if you ever want to preview something privately you should select your bank guild or some empty chat option such as party to type it on).

Wow, thanks! i didn’t even know this was a thing!

Now i cant help but wonder what other items are out there for me to preview this way haha, thanks

Pretty much everything has a code. The problem is finding it. New items such as this that Dulfy talks about will usually have the code listed (that’s where I got this one).

Edit: here’s the Dulfy site with upcoming items and their codes.

Thaddeus.4891:

No you just play with Agony Resistance all the time. They are useless, but don’t hurt you either.

You could replace the AR infusion with +5 stats infusion, but that would only give you like 70 more stats points, which is not really high. Most people don’t bother and keep their AR infusion all the time.

Exactly what i was trying to figure out,thanks!

Thaddeus.4891:

30min for a speed run.

60min with no wipe.

90min with your average good group with a couple of wipe.

But all of that need a good group. You could still end up in a group playing 2 hours and not killing any boss.

Thanks, great answer!

In the bank storage section..is 500 the cap for a stack of materials?

What is the average time groups are taking to complete the raid that is out?

That is the server i am in and i am looking for a group i can do things like WvW and dungeons with.

My guild is great and they do some fractal/dungeon runs but it’s pretty random.

Mortifer.2946:

carlito.8954:

Also, if i jump from fractals to other forms oh game play OFTEN, then i will go broke using the 24S to un-equip infusions from each trinket/gear. So i ask again…is this what the average person does OR do people keep separate sets of gear?

PEOPLE DO NOT CARE ABOUT +70 stat why can’t you understand it? You are hardcore WvWer? Well then have another set of gear with +70 stat. Otherwise USELESS, even in raids.

First of all, relax.

Second of all, you gave a couple of explanations but DID NOT answer my actual question ( Still haven’t actually ).

To the others who posted on here, thanks, i know have a good idea of what to do.

Also, if i jump from fractals to other forms oh game play OFTEN, then i will go broke using the 24S to un-equip infusions from each trinket/gear. So i ask again…is this what the average person does OR do people keep separate sets of gear?

Mortifer.2946:

It got ignored because it doesn’t make much sense. Fractals, as any other content require power DPS or condi DPS builds. If you put infusions onto your gear, you can always extract them back for 24 silver per one piece of gear. However, there is almost zero reason to change them. It only makes sense if you are into maxing out stats, but all the content can be easily beating without it. +5 Power infusions can be put just on weapon, 2 rings, 1 earring, amulet, backpack. If you want to put +5 power on armor or the other earring, you need to spend like 100 gold per one +5power versatile infusion – that is 700 gold for 35 power….. Go figure.

Maybe you read it wrong OR i wrote it wrong.

Say i put agony stuff on my trinkets and accessories in order to do fractals.

1 hour later i decide i don’t want to fractals, instead i want to run a raid or dungeon.

If i go into said dungeon or raid with my accessories/trinkets still equipped with the agony infusions i am losing a huge bonus because i could instead equip POWER/PRECISION/TROUGHNESS/ETC… infusions.

SO, my question to the forum is what are players doing with this issue..are they keeping separate sets of gear OR they salvaging/re-equipping infusions as they switch from fractals to other form of play?

Do people have separate gear sets for fractals and dungeons/raids, PvE, Etc. ?

I’ve finally gotten into doing fractals and i am at the point where i need to start using agony infusions BUT what am i suppose to do once i want to switch over to doing a dungeon or two? What happens to the gear with the agony infusions? it becomes quite useless doing other things that don’t require agony.

My question is..what do people usually do for that? Have separate sets of gear/trinkets what?

I think i’m a little confused.

So…Let’s say i want to do higher fractals, i will need agony resist on my gear right?

Now let’s say after doing fractals for a while i want to go do a dungeon or a raid, obviously the agony resist on my gear is worthless for those so what do you guys do? do you salvage these things OR do people keep separate sets of gear for whatever they are doing? i really don’t know..

Wolfric.9380:

Unless you don´t have physical skills on your bar it makes sense. Most warriors use healing signet so might gain is not realy useful…

how does it make sense with physical skills?

im not being sarcastic/arrogant i really don’t know lol

Valik Shin.9027:

It can be situationally useful in wvw and also there isn’t much in the tier in strentgh to take over it

i see…Still though. in the same trait line “Restorative Strength” gives you might when using a heal skill. That to me is much much better. idk..

i’ve notice people use this trait often.

Maybe i’m picturing it wrong BUT what is the point?

Like…are people jumping off cliffs and landing on other players/creatures and for this purpose they use this trait? Otherwise i see it as a waste?

what is the point of using “death from above”

Sorel.4870:

I think the change makes sense. Playing warrior was always about passive sustain and active damage landing. Adrenal Health has the same design: you get to sustain if you manage to land your bursts. Sure it’s passive, but in a good way.

Can you please explain to me this whole ‘’adrenal health’’ concept? i play warrior but not familiar with this term?

As the title says guys…i want to get into WvW but i would like some advice.

i main war/ele/guard ( in the order lol )

is there a go to youtube video ppl watch for starting?

I know it’s not out yet BUT i’d like to begin gathering materials i will need for it.

Where can i find some info on what the pre-reqs for the legend armors might be?

Wildkitten.3872:

Being at the top makes sense as it’s designed for things to be used across all characters, such as bank access, merchants, TP, etc. Being at the top makes it easier and faster for the items to be accessed.

Just amazes me people can always find ways to complain about being given something for free…

I agree with you 100% !!! They could give every account 100g for free tomorrow morning and someone somewhere will somehow complain about it.

and yes it DOES make more sense to have it as the very first slot on your inventory!

It’s randomly working now…

I’m using a Mac and ever since new patch uploaded the gem store stays stuck on loading…

I can access the TP and currency exchange but not gem store ? Plz help

Hello.

Which gear should i be using for raids?
Also, is this gear that i should be buying or crafting?

I main warrior/Guardian/Elementalist

Still haven’t raided since getting HoT 3 weeks ago "/

Any little group out there or someone who wouldn’t mind me tagging along?

Thanks in advance!

One thing i didn’t find on the wiki abbreviations page was "RnG’ i’ve seen this one when people are talking about luck or traiding post (TP) ?

Random number generator, people like to hate it, because they don’t get good loot and others do

Awesome, thanks!!

Nadha.6097:

You used lol, didn’t you OP?
so, how is that different?
If y o u know what it means, its OK to use it?
;)

No it isn’t different.

However, in my defense i think it’s safe to assume ’’Lol" is a commonly used abbreviation by modern day forum users.

You cannot compare ‘’Lol"( My neighbor is 65 and doesn’t speak english but knows what this means by the way) to ’’DS’’, ’’CC’’, ’’TP’’ and so on….

Now take that winky face somewhere else LOL

Endless Soul.5178:

I know exactly how you feel as I hate abbreviations too. It took me a while to figure out what CC meant,. Everyone uses it in the class forums, and I don’t think I ever saw a definition for it.

However, it’ll never happen. There’s just too many people out there that can’t even be bothered to type out “you”, much less a definition for an abbreviation they’re using.

Honestly i STILL don’t know ’’CC’’. i think it has to do with ’’controlling’’ someone/something based on the context it’s usually used in but not 100% sure lol

i am glad someone feels some of my pain haha
