Attempting to use the recipe to add another infusion slot to rings: any rings that I have worn do not appear to go into the forge when it is in my inventory. I can take rings that I was not wearing and use the recipe with the agonized essence, but not rings I have previously worn.
Attempted:
>logging out with rings unequipped
>putting rings on alternate characters
>leaving rings in bank and logging out
So there are two ways to buy/sell using the Trading Post. As a buyer, you can choose to buy something instantly, which using your example would cost you 10s.
But if you don’t want to spend 10s on an item, you only want to spend 5s, you can place a buy order and wait for someone else to sell it to you for that 5s.
It’s basically a waiting game, if you’re willing to wait for your item and pay less you can place a buy order. You’re risking it never being filled of course, but if it is you’ve paid less. On the other side, a seller who lists for 10s is willing to pay a fee and wait for the higher price, rather than selling to the buy orders instantly.
So again – buy orders for a seller are instant, but for a buyer you have to wait for a willing seller. Normal listings for a buyer are instant, but for a seller they have to wait for a buyer.
My personal opinion on “Underground Facility Fractal” aka Dredge fractal – split it into two fractals, a regular fractal that ends at Champion Rabsovich and a boss fractal.
1st Fractal
Mechanics remain the same up to Rabsovich, buttons, panel, hallways (with some balancing issues fixed*)
Rabsovich is now the final boss, a legendary and the clown car has been removed.
Rabsovich now spawns two veterans instead of just one, and has agony on his massive damage wind up attack (damage lowered slightly so it’s not a death sentence).
This makes the fractal length and difficulty relatively on par with most other fractals. I would probably switch it with the harpy fractal, making it a mid length and harpy a long length.
2nd Fractal
This would be a new boss fractal
Still a chance to get either boss (who have mechanics that are very interesting and require coordinated team work)
Fractal starts with the clown car (with some balancing issues fixed*)
Hallway is the same, agony check on entering room
The boss fights are already on par with the other boss fractals in my opinion but to make it more interesting, have one of the “lava” buckets blow up at every 25% interval, so that the last 25% becomes more close quarter dangerous combat. Add an agony check at each 25% if you need to.
Balance issues Panel Room
Obviously there’s something wrong with the panel room if many groups end up defeated or needed to die on the buttons to progress.
Simply increasing the time between spawns would alleviate the problem greatly, allowing a good group to clear the room, let the fifth player in, get in position/heal up and start the panel before the next spawn appears.
Bomb Hallway
How this hasn’t been touched I don’t quite understand. There is almost no way to do this without stealth. It used to be possible but more spawns keep being added. Is this hallway not supposed to be possible without a thief or multiple mesmers?
Fixes: Dredge respawn only when a bomb goes off on the door. This forces team coordination for all five bombs to be dropped at once, then the group fights it’s way back down for more bombs. Fully destroying the door could require at least two full hallway clears.
Clown Car
The issue that the game seems to break and you can only damage one or two dredge at once has been brought up before and needs to be addressed.
It’s great for farming – but boring. Having a set number of dredge (say something like you’d currently encounter in the low 20 levels) would be fine and on par with other boss fractals.
Perhaps removing the car and having the dredge run in from the door would be better? Or even from various directions to make it harder to ball up the dredge.
I think dredge could be much better if these issues are addressed. As others have said, it’s simply too long to match with any of the other fractals. It’s quite literally long enough to be two complete fractals.
At the very least a quick fix that gives an extra bonus rewards for this level until it can be properly fixed would give people a reason to feel satisfied for completing the fractal. Perhaps a bouncy chest with a guaranteed rare or two in it?
There are two types of slots and infusions now. The old infusion goes in the old slot, the versatile infusion you can but with relics or the other previously available infusions. The new infusions +1, +2 etc go into the new slot. It sounds like you were trying to put two of the same type of infusion into the two different slots.
As a guardian, I was able to rally after going down though it took a couple of minutes patiently waiting for my number 3 skill to recharge. I was able to keep my health steady with the number 4 downed skill, then rally with the number 3. This was on 31 and luckily Mossman went to party members rather than me.
My main server just encountered this issue. We killed him multiple times with the same size zerg, but this last time we cannot out damage his lifesteal.
Definitely some clipping issues that need to be fixed at some point, though I know it’s a lot of work for the team. I have the first female human body type if I recall correctly.
