Guild Wars 2

Sailor moon approves this thread. <3

OP, the “new” build is apparently D/D + Staff. This could only kind of work with sinister or viper, but that seriously reduces the effectiveness of Vault and leaves you full glass. A dedicated carrion D/D build will be more durable with the same condi output and zerk/marauder Staff will hit harder and have a bit more health. Not to mention both would also get more mobility by running SB secondary. D/D + Staff hybrid is just a bad idea imo.

That’s what I was thinking, staff doesn’t even help with conditions any. Just more leaps for evade but d/d 3 already does that so staff makes no sense to me (other than maybe blind for stomp but d/p can do that too.

Just curious what all the greats are using. And yes I do know in the hands of a great player even thief or dh can rank up. But I’ve seen a lot of necro and mes and some scrapper and ele. So just curious what the general consensus was especially on good builds to solo que with.

Aren’t you inexperienced with warrior?

Playing the class effectively still requires proficiency.

You don’t see my jumping on scrapper so I can faceroll my way with an autoplay hammer spamming class. It’s just not gonna play out that way for me XD

Oh Ross, don’t play yourself down or the absurdness of scrapper. You could probably switch to it and roll your face across most people. I know sometimes I switch to hammer scrapper instead of power shatter mesmer and it’s a complete faceroll, then I weep salty mesmer tears for an hour.

Ithil, you can still get the wings even if it takes you more than 4 seasons so long as they keep the format, it just might be more expensive from what I heard. Needless to say I doubt you won’t get them.

No you can’t, on wiki it says available only during 2016 pvp seasons.

Genesis.4671:

Please stop crying about outfits.

I don’t mind them making more cool looking outfits what I think most of us have an issue with is the low amount of new armor. Other than the caraspace and glowing counterparts and a few backpieces I believe there’s hardly been any new armor in game that wasn’t gemstore related.

People would like more cool armor sets they earned like how dungeon armor is done or fractal weapons are, not just pay cash grats every kid in lions arch has this.

So, I created an account today (yay!), and it’s fun and all, but I am not getting the login prize. I looked on the panel and it has the last day highlighted (the pink box). I didn’t get that box and their is no items in inventory either.

Do you have to play for a while or be a certain level to get them? How does it work exactly?

I had the same issue. Bought my account earlier today and no login reward. Did get it tonight after the daily reset. Another guy mentioned that was most likely the case and sure enough it was, so you should get it tonight or tomorrow when you log in(or if u purchased it after tonight’s reset than after tomorrow’s reset)

example: my thread.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Daily-log-in-rewards-the-1st-day/first#post4967269

update: got my day 1 reward after the reset tonight. Its technically day 2 but I guess you don’t get it the day you actually purchase it till after the reset. Glad its working

@chaos…And if someone should compromise your account, and break the ToS, do you still advocate having your name posted on the forums associated with, oh let’s say, scamming other players? Selling gold? How about racist chat?

You might feel different about your Display and/or Character Names being publicly accused of wrong-doing when you can’t even access the forums to defend yourself.

My points are still valid, even if you do try to do a red herring fallacy. That being said I specifically said nothing about the forums, its their forums, their rules, they can do what they want with it, I just said public shaming gets results and pointed at several examples from other mmos, history and gw1.

Now I will answer your hypothetical scenario just because I feel like it. First my account would not be compromised I have a unique email and unique password just for this game. No other site or email or anything else has access to the email or the password. I keep my pc clean etc. Now let’s just say somehow my account was compromised. Would I care if someone took screens and put them up, not really, b/c like you stated I know that that’s not me. My moral conscience is clean. My identity is safe since its just kittenername and not my actual name. I wouldn’t need to defend myself in these type of scenarios I’m guessing anet looks into it. If they find out my account was compromised then they know its not me and if it caused issues with guildies or friends when my account is restored that would be proof of my innocence.

This is naming and shaming, and it’s against forum rules.

Which is a real shame (pun intended) b/c public shaming actually does go a long way in correcting behavior… for example back in the day before you could lfg que for raids in wow, if a guy ninja looted an item on a small server just one person telling mapchat could help get him blacklisted by almost everybody and most pugs who cared enough to block. This public shaming thus was a great form of punishment and a good deterrent to punishment.

A real life example in ancient times the jewish people were allowed to stone a child to death if he was often rude and disrespectful to his parents. Now I’m not arguing for or against capital punishment here especially for what our culture would consider a minor offense but I guaranty you that it got results lol. All it would take is for little johny to be stoned and little billy and all his friends would be perfect angels… just saying…

You do realize that people will lie don’t you? Or that they can be mistaken? Or that they only have part of the story and the rest of the story changes the situation?

Naming and shaming on the forum where people can lie, be mistaken or be misinformed only causes a toxic forum. Unless you are willing to be the one named and shamed on the forum by someone with a grudge against you, then I don’t think you should advocate it.

Report what happens in game and let ANet sort it out from their records.

(quote) “report what happens and let anet sort it out”
-That logic while works is less of a deterrent. For instance if anet bans people for exploiting or whatever that’s great but most of us will never know about it, thus we maybe thinking over here that they don’t do anything about the situation overall. but if there was a long list of people that got banned for it recently i 100% guaranty you most people would think twice before attempting it.

oh and just in case anyone says its not anet’s policy to public shame go play guild wars 1 Had the most epic example of public shamining in any game i’ve ever played or seen.

edit: responding to your edit. About lies. Sure 1 person could lie, but if a whole group is stating the same thing its more likely to be true. If there’s proof of repeat behavior well then there you go. Screenshots and pics go a long way, yeah people can photoshop but it takes some skill and a lot of time. Oh and I would be “willing to be the one named and shamed” as you put it because quite frankly I wouldn’t be involved in any inappropriate behavior so I would have nothing to worry about So I can advocate it all I want^^ b/c I would be held to the same standard

Danikat.8537:

Even if you don’t get it it’s not the end of the world. The login rewards are a fixed 28 day cycle and even if you miss days it doesn’t reset, it just picks up where you left off the next time you log in.

So you’ll get the 1st one tomorrow (tomorrow in game-time, not your local time) and it will continue from there.

I know it doesn’t reset since its ok if u miss days… its just the first day playing and i didn’t get it so I hope I get one tomorrow or ever for that matter.

Malediktus.9250:

Do you have a 2nd character? The chests are character bound until you moved the reward to your inventory

No its my one and only character.

Malediktus.9250:

The chest should be there (at the bottom right of your screen above minimap) as soon as you log in, right at the start of the tutorial instance. If its not there its probably a bug.

its not there…

people who qq about gw2 tend to forgot about how bad most mmo’s are and all that gw1 and gw2 did differently to change that.

Malediktus.9250:

You get one immediatly after logging in the for the first time. It was like that on all my accounts.

i logged in, made my 1st character, killed the boss, went into the sylvarri town, no auto chest on the bottom right of the screen and not in any bags.

Guhracie.3419:

You’ll get one after reset. If you don’t get one after 5PDT, then it’s likely a bug.

thanks you guys.

Just started playing, I was told there are daily log in rewards. Didn’t get any and was wondering if its b/c its my 1st day on. Or if its a bug or not.
