Guild Wars 2

The key is options. In a game with such a diverse player base, due mostly to the vast amount of both casual and hardcore content, there should be different ways to get items required for new crafting recipes. Just as you can get materials from both salvaging and gathering. Just like you can make some mats you have professions leveled for and buy the others on the auction house. Being able to buy the mists stone by other means other than the incredibly niche fractals would be great.

Same issue here. Logged in to check and my seed has transformed into a Pet Seed. I have not started any of the Part 2 story line or done anything except log in to check this since the patch.

Not learned:
At least 20% of any open world zerg are going to be useless — griefers, afks, or just undergeared, underleveled, or underskilled. In playtesting (assuming it’s even done) an event with 100 people, assign 20 to actively try to wreck the event. If you can’t make it work, it isn’t going to work in-game for most groups, without resorting to tricks like overflow abuse and external programs to provide the kind of coordination that isn’t supported in-game.

This. A thousand times this.

Attempted Wurms last night. Went with Amber group. Wurm refused to eat anyone despite standing on the little arrow with the buff. Lost the encounter with Amber at 100%.

I attempted this jumping puzzle for around 2 hours when it was made available, never making it past the present section. I gave up and haven’t been back. I let out a sigh every time it comes up as the daily.

Join a Tequatl-killing guild.

I did finally get the final achievement by joining TTS and killing it in an overflow, but honestly that should not be necessary.

In your OP, you said you wanted this to be instanced so that groups can get together. Then you say it should not be necessary to join a group to kill it. I’m a bit confused.

And by the way, I disagree with your thread title. This has been one of the best updates to date. AND, it’s permanent!

I think what he means is that it should not be required to join a specialized guild, join a voice chat server, and have people scout out empty overflows to bring the whole guild to. This is a bit overkill to be able to down a zone boss, in my opinion.

Won on my first attempt with my condition necro:
Scepter/Dagger
0/30/20/20/0
Blood is Power, Epidemic (lol forgot to swap for Signet of Spite), Signet of the Locust, Flesh Golem

Fun fight overall. Got pulled by one orb but thankfully it wasn’t into any AoE. I ate a Rare Veggie Pizza for extra condition damage/duration.

I just finished the gauntlet undefeated on my condition-mancer using Rare Veggie Pizza for the tier 3 fights. Forgot to swap out Epidemic for power signet for Liadri and still won. I got lucky on an orb pull that pulled me to a safe zone during phase 2. Other than that, it wasn’t that bad. I just kept moving, used Consume Conditions or Deathly Swarm to get rid of the cripple, and dotted her up.
