Guild Wars 2

Hamfast.8719:

Hmm… there is a mountain of new stuff here every time I get back to reading. I caught that one device was found under the Black Lion Trading Post, and that they were continuing to search. There were a dozen such devices (if you can believe Scarlet). Did someone get the last of ‘em? Is anyone bothering to try, or are they just gonna seep out their deadly fumes in 2-3 days time and wipe out the city? Did I miss something? (I’m still reading too).

(Love your reports, Kraag! Helps a lot in keeping caught up!)

((We’re struggling to keep up too :P We only have time for about 1 post a day considering we’re both normally busy and we spend a fair bit of time taking and editing pictures. By the time we get to post it there’s usually another page worth of replies since the last update. So we spend half of our post having to backtrack to cover the period we’ve missed and just hope it hasn’t changed “too” much. Then by the time we get to the end of the post we’re already behind again.

Some of the posts on here and amazing! Some of you are really talented writers and I simply can’t go into that kind of depth and detail with our posts. But like the captain said, just because you can write paragraphs and paragraphs doesn’t mean you have to? Maybe just limit yourselves to one or two posts a day to give others a chance to catch up? I’ve had to skip quite a few posts lately because I just don’t have the time to read them yet (Hopefully I’ll get to go back, but at this speed It’s unlikely I’m gonna get to find the time).

We already have a lot of stories going on at once here, which is brilliant! I love it! But maybe just try and slow it down a bit? To help those who can’t post all day.

Whats the point of that? .. Most of the time I have no mantras equipt. Only ever use them when I’m doing Lupi or something more specialty.

Thanks,
I use Deceptive Evasion with Phantasmal Fury anyway .. so what do people normally replace one of them with if people tend do have either one or the other?

I thought about swapping Wardens Feedback for Temporal Enchanter for Lupi. But other than that I think its an alright build.

Did Lupi again last night with a LOT of wipes :P My team aren’t used to Meleeing so I guess that’s gonna take some practice. But on the time we were successful it was pretty quick. Just practice now I guess

Thanks

Yeah Ele is my main and Lupi is a pain in the backside on him.

What kind of build would you suggest for Lupi? I was running a shatter build. But someone said that might not be a great option for Arah and several other dungeons. Will Dungeons is what I do most on. So since then I went back to a 10/30/0/20/10 build with GS + S/F .. and a friend suggested taking S/S instead for Lupi ..

So I’m just curious what other people are running? I’m not looking for the BEST build for Lupi .. I just want something that I can use well in all dungeons without having to changing things around every time.

Thanks

Hey guys,
Thanks soo much for the advice! Really helpful posts. Sorry “Anierna” I must have miss-read your first post, but after reading it a second time with the additional information I understand it.

I actually didn’t realise “Feedback” reflects on both sides. So that explains a lot about Melee over Ranged. I also didn’t realize that Anet took Lupi’s height into consideration for feedback, which also explains a lot.

Thanks again for all the advice.

Looking forward to giving it a try

Wow, thanks for the advice guys. Great response

To be honest I’ve done Lupi quite a few times now (not on mesmer though) and we almost ALWAYS range. Probably for no other reason than that’s how I was first shown how to do it. and stuck to that method because it works (we aren’t all spec’d for survivability, especially me).

Do you HAVE to have the party in melee range for feedback to work properly then? Or is that just to get the maximum benefit from it?

Can someone explain the mechanics behind Lupi’s AoE attack and feedback? I didn’t think it mattered being range or not?

Thanks again

Yeah I got that .. maybe I just wasn’t close enough. Unless it doesn’t do as much damage as I thought it did .. :/

Yeah thanks, that’s when I was using it. Maybe I just wasn’t close enough or something. I didn’t realize it worked well in phase 3 too? I’ll have to try that.

Thanks

Hey guys,
I play a shatter build Mesmer, I’ve had the Mesmer since release but only recently started playing it properly. I love using it in dungeons and I really want to master using “Feedback” to reflect Lupi’s AoE attack.

I haven’t had much chance to practice yet. The first time, I was told I missed because I was too late. So I’ve been studying the animation on youtube videos to try and get it right. Had another go today and I’ve just about got the timing right. But I’m still missing.

Can anyone give any tips?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply gassy,
I wouldn’t have done it anyway, like i said ive ignored another 3 or 4 and nothings been banned yet. I’m quite used to emails like this but as the email address it was sent from was correct, I thought I had better check.

Thanks

Hey,
This is probably the third or 4th time I’ve received the following email..

Guild Wars Account Will Be Shut Down Inform

We are sorry to inform you that your login account will be shut down or partially limited within 72 hours due to currency transactions or abnormal login. If you want to remove restrictions, please click the following link to validate::

The email is from : noreply@guildwars2.com

Is this legit? I’ve been ignoring the emails before because I thought if was a dodgy attempt to steal my password, but it is the correct email. No one else other than me uses my account and the only “transactions” are me buying gems. Occasionally I have to re-authenticate because my ip sometimes changes.

I was hoping someone could tell me if this is a legit email and why I keep getting it.

Thanks

Yeah I agree.
Been in a few groups where the owner was in a rush to leave and people left out on the chest. Also got disconnected and we all got kicked. Should definitely be something to prevent that happening.

Yes I agree.
Sorry, I did look ahead to see if it has been brought up but couldn’t find anything :/

I agree with both.

I sell 95% of the dyes I unlock because I think its pointless putting a color on a character that I will never use. If I want a certain color I tend to just look it up and buy it from the tp.

If they were account bound, I’d be much more inclined to collect them. After all, there are soooo many. You’re NEVER going to get them all on all your characters. So once you unlock them, why not share them?

And skins took me a moment to reaslie what you mean but I assume your talking about things like “Shattered Dragon Wings” and “Horns of the Dragon”?

In which case I totally agree with you. We worked hard for those rewards so we should be able to have unlimited access to them and keep them forever.

Ledgendarys though I’m not sure If I agree with. They aren’t really ledgendary without their stats and if it was a simple skin then you will see lvl 5 warriors running around with Twilight. The other issue is, if you have a legendary greatsword for example. Why would you ever use anything else?

That being said, I haven’t got one yet. They do take a LOT of hard work to get and I do believe that whoever puts the effort in to get one deserves some kind of clarity that they will always have it. I’m working on Incinerator for my ele. But I’m a d/d ele so eventually I want two. Would be nice if it were possible to have a second after having spent the time and effort into making one….

I would like to see something like this too. GW1 had a place where you could save and load builds.

I guess the problem is that there are only really a few skill that get changed. For me anyway, its mainly the trails, and because we have to pay to reset them, it’s unlikely that we will see a way of saving and loading them for free.

Maybe make it possible so that we save and load our builds too and from the professions traders?

Hey everyone,
I absolutely LOVE the new achievements system and I think its great that we get rewards every 500 achievement points. But what I think is really cool is the fact that once we have chosen a skin (as a reward for every 1000 points), we get to keep it .. forever! And withdraw it as many times as we like so we can use it multiple times on multiple character’s!

What I would like to see is the ability to access some previous rewards in the same way.
For example:
- Shattered Dragon Wing Cover
- Horns of the Dragon Skin
- Fused Gauntlet
- Fervid Censer
- Sclerite Karka Shell
I’m sure you can think of more..

The problem is, a lot of these are currently taking up a lot of space in my bank. But if I destroy them, I will NEVER get them back. I worked hard for them so I want to keep them.

If we can have unlimited access to Skins chosen from Achiement points then why can’t we have unlimited access to these rewards too? After all we worked hard to get them, people that missed out wont get the opportunity again so I’m quite proud of the fact that I have them and I want to keep them forever. But I don’t want to end up with a bank full of rewards that are all soul bound to one character and are taking up all the space. Plus there are one or two that I would like on multiple characters.

Its not like we will be able to sell them. So once we have achieved them why can’t we have unlimited access to them too?

I hope other’s agree with me and we might see more previous rewards in the summary screen in the near future.

Thanks for reading.

Yaaaay! Mines working!
Cut scenes been reset and it seems to work after completing it again.
Thanks

We’re running out of time to complete this and I really want to do it. Mainly because I have no idea where the story is going. As far as I’m concerned I don’t know who the “sky pirates” are!? Please fix this before you remove it from existence!
Thanks

Can’t believe this still isn’t sorted!
I want to continue with the story line. I still only have the “leave” option, I don’t have the investigation kit cos I destroyed it and I can’t get back into either instance or cutscenes cos I’ve already done the achievement.

I’m stuck "/

Hey everyone,
This achievement for me is STILL bugged. I haven’t brought my issue up yet because, to be honest, I thought it would have been sorted by now. Its now in the final days and I still cant do it.

If this was a minor achievement I wouldn’t be too worried but its the main story achievements and I’d quite like to know what’s going on before I go into the new stuff.

The issue is that the only option I get from the suspects is “Leave” (I’ve tried them all). I have got both the “Ceremony and Acrimony” and “Hard Boiled” achievements. I read on Dulfy that if you destroy the Investigation Kit you can re-enter the cut scene and sometimes this fixes it. However .. it didn’t. I cant re-enter any cut scenes and I cant get my Investigation Kit. I’m completely option-less.

I’d really like this to be fixed, I want to know what’s going on before I move forward.

Thanks
Skepp
