Guild Wars 2

First off I’d like to say how much I appreciate the first raid added into the game. It gives me the feeling of difficulty that I haven’t felt since the first game. So what should be in store for the future of the game?

Difficulty: I think as we keep adding in dungeons and raids, each one should get progressively longer or more difficult(preferably a balance of the two.) The longer this raid is out, the better players will become, and they’ll want even MORE difficult content. Players who don’t currently raid but are planning on trying, could try the first raid, and then progressively build up to the harder second raid. This not only evolves the game’s average skill level, but it gives a reason to play the first raid over the second raid for newer raiders.

Rewards: With more difficulty, should be better rewards. I would like to say that at some point maybe ArenaNet could add in a “legendary raid,” where it is more lengthy, more difficult(significantly), and has 2x the rewards as regular raids. At the end of the raid, there should be a small(roughly 1% droprate) for any random legendary weapon. The weapon WILL be account bound on pickup.

TL;DR As anet adds more dungeons and raids, they should get longer and more difficult, with even more rewards, as much as a 1% droprate for a legendary for clearing the entire raid(every boss and encounter.)

Well if you’re playing solo only, I think Herald(Revenant) is the best class. I say this because out of all classes, they have the highest survivability against stronger enemy types. Herald in general probably has the most survivability out of ALL classes for pve given you’re playing a dps berserker build. For open world, they have less dps than a tempest, and less utility than a warrior, but are definitely great for world bosses or events. For dungeons, typically you’ll want 1 herald in your group. The boon duration and fury is amazing. However, if you want to do a lot of raids or dungeons, tempest is a better pick for dps.

So I’d say the best class for open world pve is: Tempest
Best class for soloing content: Herald
Best class for dungeons: Tempest/Druid(if you want to go the healing or condition dps route)
Try all classes before making a decision, the listed above is just what is considered most optimal.
These classes may have some button mashing involved. If you try them and they are an issue, warrior is a good class to play.

The scroll says “Double-click to teleport to the Pride of the Pact in Bloodstone Fen. This item cannot be used while in combat.” This implies that if you aren’t currently at the Pride of the Pact, you can teleport there, which is not the case. If you are in Bloodstone Fen, the scroll doesn’t work, despite not being at the Pride of the Pact. It should allow you to teleport to the Pride of the Pact despite already being located in Bloodstone Fen.

Simple post really, looking for a guild that does fotm every day, whether this guild be dungeon runners that also do fotm, or only fotm, all i ask is that it doesn’t have a 100% rep requirement.

7 times out of 10, when using evisc, it will start animation and halfway through, it will stop, this is not because of any kind of CC and it goes the full 7 1/2 sec cd, and you keep your adren. If it was a rupt of some sort, it would be around a 3 second cd. This is game breaking as far as axe warrior in pvp goes.

In the pvp map, legacy of the foefire, there’s an exploit where you can go under the map (only as an engineer i believe) and kill people where they can’t kill you. I report people who do this under “botting” because there is no exploit option. Please fix this anet. Also if you have the time add a report for exploiting option.

1: if you get immobilized while moving, you cant use any skills. (Ex: auto attack won’t work when immobilized, this won’t happen every time, but really often)
2: For warrior, when you use an aoe targeted burst, and you get an extra bar of adrenaline, it causes it to disappear, forcing you to activate it 1-3 times before being able to use it.
3: if you’re in point blank range of your target with a ranged weapon, you can’t use any weapon skills.
4: If you jump at the same time as a ranger using entangle, you’ll be stuck in the air unable to do anything other than die.
Edit: just found a #5, 5: if you are moving while dazed, you auto walk regardless of if you have it toggled. keep in mind all of these don’t occur 24/7 and only occur about 30% of the time. (except the aoe burst one)
more found:
6: if you shoot combustive shot, it occasionally disappears in the ground.
7: if you throw things like impale or throw axe in point blank range, it disappears.
8: ranged weps would often get obstructed when shooting at the target (no things in the way)
9: if you use movement skills like bull’s charge or rush, it sometimes makes you go backwards, regardless if you are holding forward or not.
10: you will sometimes charge into the enemy with skills like above and then either hit the opposite way, or get stuck moving and end up not hitting at all.
11:block skills with short duration like counterblow will often go into cooldown without blocking or activating at all.
12: if you dodge while using whirling axe, it wastes an endurance bar, and the dodge won’t work.

The fix to something that’s poorly designed is to redesign it. Not to slap a bandaid fix that also suffers from a design flaw on the problem.

One flaw with your suggestion? It removes the prestige factor of fractal skins. Complete level 1 for a daily chest X times, and you get X fractal relics. The same amount someone who completed level 50 for a daily chest X times would get.

You know what the best way to get fractal skins would then be? Speedrun the lower tiers, starting at the lowest, because hey, fewer mechanics in some fractal, less enemy health, and less enemy damage. You’ve now turned fractal skins from what they should have been, a prestige reward for completing hard content, into a “lets grind easy content for shinies” reward.

But it’s not really “grinding” since you can only do one tier a day, unless of course you thought i meant normal relics, which in that case, you’d be right.

Zui.9245:

You mean a RNG-based rewards scheme is generally a poorly designed one, especially when the RNG-rewards are extremely low probability, and should one be lucky enough to get a reward, they go through yet another level of RNG?

It’s almost like the whole fractal rewards design (and implementation) is atrocious, in addition to fractal reward levels being atrocious.

I don’t think your fix goes far enough to fixing fractal rewards. The rewards need a complete redesign.

Yes but it would at least stop the complaining of low drop rates and let people get skins guaranteed, regardless of what type of skin it is.

I’ve been doing fractals for well over a year, and i have YET to see a fractal weapon drop. (even one i cant use) I never did high levels (31-39) until after the “Fractured” update which significantly dropped the drop rate from nearly 25%, to around 3%. An alternative that will keep players interested in completing fotm and that will let them be happy with their rewards are:
A: trading 30 pristine relics for a box that gives a RANDOM fractal weapon OR
B: trading 50-100 pristine relics for a fractal weapon of THEIR choice.
This would be great because not only do most high level fractal players not even spend their relics, but it would allow people who got screwed by “Fractured” drop rates and RNG to finally get one. Also this would be “time-gated” so it will still take much work and time to get. If i could get feedback from users or even staff that would be great. I think that this would’ve been a perfect feature for “Fractured.”
Edit: i just received a Fractal Longbow but i still think the RNG is either too low or needs an alternative.

I’m guessing they are going to sell a SET (since all of them have been put out individually in the past). Don’t know where you get they are doing it Friday, but ok.

I’m not overly thrilled with these since they are soulbound as I run one of every class and I doubt I’ll ever plunk down enough funds for 8 sets of these.

I dont think they will put in a set for 2,400 gems, that’s a bit much.

So I heard that the unlimited tools are coming back, which is great because i didn’t have enough money for the last few tools, so does anyone know when this living story the unlimited tools are coming to the gem store again? I’ve heard rumors it was friday.

So there’s two parts to this: 1. Why do we break the Colossus loose in the first place? If it’s to leave the fractal then how would we know to do that. 2. Who/What is the Colossus? there’s no known lore (that i know of) about Colossus’ even existing in the gw universe. And to add to that it seemed like he was corrupt or something as his stone structure had some sort of aura coming from inside, like he was about to explode or was corrupt. I want to see what you guys think and see if i didn’t miss something important >.>

Yes, if you go to WVW (World Vs world) tab on the top left corner, you can enter to any of those battlegrounds and when you get there, there should be a portal that says “Lion’s Arch” go in that. Once there you will spawn at an area with multiple portals taking you to every major city. Hope this helps.
