I would consider unrooting Zealots Defense instead of a buff to Powerful Blades.

EDIT: Also, Inner Fire should work with the torch skill 4. Torch needs a buff, nobody uses it really.

SAB 2 +achivements return next year?

I would like to know this too. I want to complete all the SAB achievements, but I don’t have the time to play that much this month. I am OK with the fact I won’t be able to get the skins.

Mobs prioritize high thoughness builds.

No they don’t. People need to stop spreading this garbage. Almost every mob has different aggro priorities, and even then different skills on each of those mobs will prioritize different conditionals.

There’s a reason why no good teams run an Anchor anymore, let alone AH (in any dungeon).

I went from anchor guardian to berzerker. And now it’s so much easier to play in dungeons/fractals. There’s considerably less pressure from mobs.
I would say toughness is an important factor in aggro calculation.

This zone needs to be permanent.

This is the most beautiful zone in the game. Amazing work!

It really should be permanent. The ship can leave and return once a year.

Also, I had a lot of fun jumping around for the crystals. I would love to see some of that places turned into mini jumping puzzles.

Laptop Advice - Please Help

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: dudikoff.3645

dudikoff.3645

I will be traveling this summer and was thinking of getting a small laptop (13 inch size screen).

I want it to be able to run Guild Wars. So I can play from time to time, do my dailies once in a while and don’t miss out on the new content.
I don’t need anything fancy, but would like the game to be playable and enjoyable.

Is this a good choice?

HP ProBook 4340s
Intel Core i3 3120M
4GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 7570 1GB
Screen resolution 1366×768

Does anyone own one or something with a similar configuration?

Your advice is greatly appreciated!

Haha, imagine Clocktower as a fractal. Everyone has to make it to the top in the same run or failed. It would be the most evil thing in this game.

About Dragon Staff Clipping

in Dragon Bash

Posted by: dudikoff.3645

dudikoff.3645

Can something be done about the clipping when the staff is stowed? The swirling dragon just goes into your back.

Pretty please. I like the staff very much, but this issue makes it unusable. :-(

Suggestions: Either push it out a little bit when stowed, or forget about that swirling dragon and make a different handle, maybe something like the hammer has.

Got sclerite weapon ticket - need advice

in Necromancer

Posted by: dudikoff.3645

dudikoff.3645

I’ll probably try a condition build first as that’s something I haven’t really tried on my other characters yet. But I might change my mind.

I prefer bigger skins like staff, axe and scepter. I won’t get aquatic ones for sure.

Got sclerite weapon ticket - need advice

in Necromancer

Posted by: dudikoff.3645

dudikoff.3645

I got lucky and found a sclerite weapon ticket from the random box at Southsun Cove.

As I see it the only class that can pull off wielding such a gruesome weapon is the necromancer.

Since I don’t have the time right now to develop a new character and learn all the things I should about necros, I ask for advice.

What sclerite weapon should I get for my future necro? What weapon will I most definitely use?

New Consortium Harvesting Sickle animation

Great work, Anthony! I knew you guys will come through.

Consortium Sickle - bugged, right?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: dudikoff.3645

dudikoff.3645

The sickle is such a disappointment, especially after the awesome molten pick.

The animation is just wrong. Why not just do it with the standard sickle animation and the water spout.

Looks like a rushed job, probably just reskinned molten pick, with water instead of lava. At first even the sound was the same.

And this is sold for 10$. A shame really.

Anet, just fix this and make it right.

The unlimited sickle is disappointing

The animation is just so disappointing.

I hope you guys at Anet have plans to change it. Or no soup for you!

I would prefer the normal sickle animation with the water spout.

Cragstead after Flame and Frost

Will Cragstead become permanent part of Wayfarer Foothills? Not in an instance like it’s now, just regular part of a map.

Shame if it didn’t.

The same goes for the hatchery in Diessa Plateau.

Awesome idea!

All temp content like this could be adapted and added to fractals. Mad King from Halloween patch could be a Jade Maw type boss.

Torch - Any viable use ?

in Guardian

Posted by: dudikoff.3645

dudikoff.3645

I use it’s #4 skill only when range attacking something with a scepter, and shield is not needed. This happens very rarely.

If #4 skill would set off Inner Fire trait (When you are set on fire, you gain fury) I might use it more often.

Also #5 skill could use a small buff.

Unofficial "Dueling" Area in WvW: Look!

in WvW

Posted by: dudikoff.3645

dudikoff.3645

For me and members of my guild players using up WvW spaces to ‘duel’ each other at the expense of our WvW events became a real issue before we moved server. If you would like to duel then the place to do so is sPvP when they introduce the private instances. Im all for people having fun but when it disrupts others who just want to come on and actually participate in WvW then im against it.

The problem is some people (me included) don’t like PvP in this game. It feels like a different game altogether. I am not connected to my character there.

It’s so much more satisfying to kill someone in WvW (one on one) than in PvP. Also if someone kills you, you take it more personally.

I would love to see some smaller WvW maps (like jumping puzzle in Eternal Battlegrounds) where small scale fights would take place, no zerg.

I’d love if I could hide my asura’s shoes — I hate that their toes stick out of the sides of their boots :P

Yeah, that bugs me too. Not so much that the toes stick out, but the middle one is in the shoe and the other two aren’t. What’s up with that!
So I bought cultural boots, the only viable boot option for a modern Asura

Problems with Engineers and Legendaries

in Engineer

Posted by: dudikoff.3645

dudikoff.3645

I don’t play engineer but I see the problem. All the kits and stuff engineers have should be different when you equip a legendary weapon. Maybe some are already?

Also I personally wouldn’t even make a legendary for an engineer because:
The Predator – clearly made for warriors, it has a scope, engineers shoot from hip
The Flameseeker Prophecies – cool shield, but whoever made this had a guardian in mind
Quip – a joke

World Completion Impossible Now?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: dudikoff.3645

dudikoff.3645

I did my map completion a while ago, and didn’t switch servers.

The best advice I can give you is to be patient. And be sure to check wvw maps after weekly server reset. Your server will (eventually) be red, blue or green.

will we get more title options?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: dudikoff.3645

dudikoff.3645

Now when titles are clearly visible, you can tell there’s too few of them. Everybody is walking around with the same titles. Lots of “Gods Walking Amongst Mere Mortals”, “Dungeon Masters” etc.
It seems like the most original thing to do is to turn it off. We definitely need more titles.

Separation of PvE and PvP and WvW

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: dudikoff.3645

dudikoff.3645

No.

I am a mostly PvE player, who sometimes enjoy WvW. I would play sometimes PvP too, if it wasn’t separated. PvP feels like a different game, with different characters. Don’t want that to happen to WvW too.

Account Name change

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: dudikoff.3645

dudikoff.3645

Everybody knows me through my main character. Then I also named than my alts similar to my main’s name. My account name is just way different now.

I would really like to change my account name to match my main’s name.

When I created my account I didn’t know how will these names work in the game. I thought account name would appear in chat channels, and characters’ name won’t be as important as they are.

Pretty please Anet

If guildwars 2 had monthly fee

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: dudikoff.3645

dudikoff.3645

I buy gems, 10$/month to support them.

Usually spend those gems on extra space in the bank and on the bag slots for my characters.

So let’s say I would be willing to pay 10$/month subscription.

If they provide more content every month, I could go to, let’s say 25$/month.

I understand why they made the PvP as it is. I see why this is the better way.

But for me, that is also the sole reason I don’t do PvP. Just feels like a different game altogether.

I’ve build my character in PvE. I have all the gear I like. I don’t know who is the crappy armor guy in the Mists that looks like me.

I wouldn’t mind if you guys add more control over pets (more buttons), like “dodge”, “stay in place”, “go there” etc.

lvl 100 Test Ring on GW2DB. Lvl Cap Increase?

If they ever increase the level cap for gear, I’m gone. I don’t have the time to run on that treadmill.

If items stay at level 80, and they only increase the cap for characters, that’s not that bad.

Anyone feel like a hero?

I don’t even want to be a hero. I am happy being just a soldier in an army. That’s why I think personal stories like the one in the GW2 shouldn’t even exist in MMOs.

It doesn’t make sense that we are all heroes and we all defeated the same dragon countless times.

I sure hope you’ll add missing combos, like knights and clerics, and not even more weird (useless) ones like we have now.

HELL NO!

I hate the idea of getting new gear for all my characters. I don’t have the time to run on that treadmill.

Also, we are slowly getting to a balanced game, raising the cap will throw all that through a window.

Stop with the vertical progression. Instead include new 80 level maps, maybe new profession, race, legendaries, etc.

Will existing achievements get converted?

dudikoff.3645

Thank you for your time here, Colin.

I really like this idea that we will get tokens for daily and monthly achievements. I realize that you are working on a system that will reward players for the other achievements as well.

I have some concerns though. Will that be enough to bring people back to every part of our beautiful world?

I guess dailies could have several specific tasks we can choose from like “complete one event in this map” or “do this jumping puzzle” instead of “kill 60 enemies”. But then people will be playing just for the sake of the daily, 30 minutes a day, then back to dungeons.

People should be playing every part of the game because they are equally rewarding. I want to see whole guilds doing open world and dynamic events all over the world.

I know these thing are extremely difficult to balance out. I just hope you’re working on it.
