Guild Wars 2

Only thing that I’m certain about is that the armor box and 2 of the golden weapons dropped after April 19. May be the case for the other items as well, since I haven’t done many fractals in the previous system.

Would estimate on 50-60 of each T3/4 chest since then.

without HoT i got 1 weapon + 1 helm box and 4 gold frac skins

When I got kicked out of my selling run I contacted anet with video evidence and proof that they did it over several months (also using bugged codes to crash people’s gw2.exe)

Guess what, they didn’t care.

this has the potential to be worse than Fractured

Yup, I did. But I’m not the only one who didn’t get a refund, so no idea what the deciding factor is.

Tigaseye.2047:

BTW, I contacted them explaining the issue and Anet appear to have refunded me 700 gems and (to my surprise) not removed the outfit from my collection.

So, that was very good of them.

Ah well, I tried the same but they rejected my request:
“Purchases from the Gem Store are seldom refundable, and in this case we are not able to provide a refund of your purchase.” :-/

I’m not complaining about not reaching the higher levels, I’m sure I’ll get there somewhen.

But I can imagine that it gets tedious for people to make 8-9+ characters full ascended (even more annoying on second accounts where you need to craft to 500 first).

While I enjoy my hoards of ascended boxes/fractal skins

Well man, that’s great for you!
What do you think about 200+ fractal spoon requirements to filter out the casuls?

Since Agony is such a joke mechanic, I support any idea that let’s me bypass it more easily.

Quickness already stacks in duration.

Yup, that’s what i meant.
Following spreadsheet somewhat confirms it with a bit imagination and knowledge about demon slaying working on fleshreavers.

AFAIK, not all of them!

Did you test that personally? Would really like to know which enemies are part of nightmare court but not scarlet’s army.

fishball.7204:

Kinda off topic but in that spreadsheet the coe p2 Evolved Husk is a summoned minion so no potions really work on it right?

correct

Probably one of my most clicked buttons when playing conquest, please fix :’(

The discussion in the pvp section that Nyx mentioned:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Sigil-of-Air-is-broken/first

and a 5month old post about it here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Superior-Air-Sigil-has-5-sec-cooldown-not-3

It’s great that you bring some attention to it again, just linking those for more evidence

So after you hit the seal, archdiviner gets stunned if someone is staying within a certain range of the boss.
Not sure about the effect radius, seems about 240 (like shadow refuge, didn’t really test)

The formula for how often he gets stunned is: 2ab

a = person/s in instance
b = person/s around him (dead people stun him as well, summons don’t matter)

Examples:
Solo (a=1) and you stack on him (b=1) you stun him 2 times,
4-man party and 3 person next to him = 24 stuns

So in a 5man party:
10 stuns per person, 6 of them do basically nothing besides guaranteeing that the boss is disabled, going from 5 stacks of defiance to 5 again.
So you just have to remember the remaining 4 stuns:

5 stacks of defiance and 1 person around him = boss will end up with 1 stack
4 defiance, 1 person = 0 stacks
3 defiance, 2 persons = 1 stack
2 defiance, 2 persons = 0 stacks
1 defiance, 3 persons = 1 stack
0 defiance, 3 persons = 0 stacks

Not really living story, but still

yep

Uncategorized Fractal

If you kill Old Tom before passing the checkpoint at top of the stairs (with the laser projectiles) the barrier after him won’t open.
Wiping or getting the checkpoint afterwards doesn’t help

Wasn’t the safespot only used for the flame tornados?
The flame tornados that can be avoided in like 50 or 100 spots?

Cool.

Don’t know about upgrading, 14 different designs for 19 weapon types seem quite a lot.

Though I like the comparison with zenith/pinnacle skins, so just 1 new set that is a bit redesigned and drops from 51+. Maybe in the color of the mists essences.

ahhh ye, I see what you mean now and it should indeed get fixed somewhen

well I guess you can practice your downed-skills there

edit: nvm this, i can’t read

• favorite unlocked title: Dungeoneer probably, don’t really care since i never see them
• if I could have any title: Ultimate Conqueror
• title I respect: Legend of the Arena
• title I dislike: Dungeon Master
• title I’d like to see: My Guild Hall Smells of Rich Mahogany obtainable through GW1, I just love that title, dunno why :c

Wouldn’t it be smarter to limit the amount of gold people are sending, not receiving? I’m against those restrictions in any form, but still curious.

In its current form, gold sellers can still send 1000 gold to 1000 different people, the customers just receive the whole sum 1 week (at maximum) later.
Also hackers will be able to mail all the money to their main accounts, they just receive it later. If it was the other way around, they couldn’t empty accounts that have over 500g.

Also, personal banks would be great to have again.

That’s what the tooltip says! ^^ (or did you test it? maybe i didn’t have enough tries)

I use accuracy, mostly.
Also pretty sure air sigil has 5sec cooldown

I like the idea of 2 systems you can choose from, but an automated group finder and a party dictator with build-in gearcheck is too black-and-white.

Players with lower requirements than the meta crowd should be allowed to enforce them without being in the role of a party leader in which they might feel uncomfortable (lack of experience, getting blame for bad team performance or w/e).
For this case I’d just leave the LFG system as it is, but increase the kickvotes needed to partysize-1. With that kick requirement you’re safe if you enter random parties with 1 friend.

I agree on most things about the party leader, but the current gearcheck is sufficient, imo. And not sure what I think about kick immunity, a fixed 4 kickvote requirement might be reasonable.
Also the party leader should be allowed to remove/transfer leader rights mid-run. If he just leaves, the rights will be removed or transfered to 2nd person who joined the party, idc.

Edit: What about 4 kickvotes + no veto from party leader = kick? that prevents the leader from being kicked, unless he goes afk.

Mini Cliffside Colossus as a rare drop from high lvl fractals, pls

Marthkus.4615:

I think anyone who asks for gear pings deserves this.

I join such lfgs to block the group leader then i leave.

Hey, if you’re from EU, please block me now so you don’t have to destroy my LFG.
Thanks!

Are you sure that happened after the recent update?
At least the torch had this and the following bugs for quite some time now.

1) When adding characters (like spaces) after shift-linking the weapons i get chinese (?) ideographs and the weapons overwrite eachother if i link more than 1.
2) After posting it into chat, everything behind the weapon links (that i didn’t type manually) disappears and only the bug with the new line remains.
3) They save the characters you type behind them, e.g. you post ‘[Tormented Weapon ] aabbaaabbb’ and if you link any tormented weapon after, it will still have the aabbaaabbb behind it (you can only reset that if you restart client)

Elemental Sword from GW1!
Legendary or not doesn’t really matter, some MF recipe with Molten/Glacial Lodestones would be fine, too. I just want to have it in GW2 q.q

Removing the tier system completely would be cool.

Would be nice if we could hide the shoulders (and gloves, tho they are mostly fine) on outfits.

Svarty.8019:

Does anybody else have a problem where their finisher changes back to the default one?

The finisher and miniature slots reset if you dye your armor/outfit.

I’m curious if any of the people who accuse him of lying actually have a full collection.

guess not

ye, nerfed.

i prefer another fractal reset to 1 if it would revert this change

Inquest Shoulders

I think you were right. I still don’t get it.

I agree that dungeon exclusive skins are nice to have, but i don’t mind if they put them in gemstore after some months when they lost their prestige anyways.

Hey,

IMO fractals are quite balanced now and I’d like to see the old map rotations back.
For those who don’t know: Fractals were selected randomly without being in different tiers of difficulty (e.g Dredge as 1st fractal).

Would add some diversity and it makes things easier for people who just want to test stuff at specific fractals.

(If this ever happens, please add some decent aqua breather)

Could be, since it seemed I was the only person having them on minimap.
At least noone answered me when i asked in map chat what’s going on.

Thank you, too!

Ahh ok, I never play on eotm
That’s pretty lame from this person then, but thanks for explaining!

Hey,

earlier today I hopped to our garrison waypoint from another borderland and saw the enemy zerg on my minimap incoming.
When they arrived at inner gate most of the dots (like 90% of them) were gone already.

Never saw this on any borderland or EB before (only in obsidian sanctum).
I suspected a stealth disruptor trap or smth, but nope.

Anyone knows what caused this?

Good Luck, Kodash

For me, there is a difference between casual speedruns and record runs.
And we have this discussion because we’re talking about a scenario with 2 or more warriors. (look at the following quote)

Never drop banner of defense as a warrior, even if all the other banners are taken by others.

Why should you bring more than 1 warrior if you’re aiming for a optimal setup?

How much time will it save if you equip a Signet of Might instead of a Defense Banner? It’ll make melee’ing Mossman, the Snowblind Boss, etc. so much easier for the loss of a few seconds.

Someone already said it earlier:

.. defbanner is strong at what it does for little Investment ..

Also, how do you avoid all attacks when fighting at the chestseal in cliffside frac? I’m curious.
Aegis? Lots of blinds? Dodge? (oh nvm, too much dmg loss when dodging)

Remember I’m not saying Defense Banner is a must have or even better than Strength or Discipline, but it does have its uses.
In most scenarios i’d also take smth different.

Lindbur.2537:

In high level fractals, that 170 toughness won’t do anything to help when a person in PVT gear with nearly double the armor rating gets two shot (if not one) with very little health left after the first hit.

I just went into lv49 with pvt stuff (can’t survive agony ticks on lv50) and ye.. these 1-2k hits from mossman do hurt a lot.

Or what high level are you speaking of? And how do i get access to it?

Don’t get hit

This statement does not answer any of my 2 questions, thanks for trying tho.
