Guild Wars 2

When I first joined this guild, I was a complete newb and was being carried by fiery greatsword rush and wall of reflects being placed on walls in Arah.

I’ve improved a lot since joining the guild. Now I do daily fractal 50/40 and sometimes 30 with guild members (average like 30-35 min for FotM 50), and we do the hardest dungeons like Arah – completely legit, in the open field too! No more wall exploits for me, as I am done with PUG life. Since joining, I’ve learned to solo post-necrid bolt Lupicus on multiple classes and solo Mai Trin on lvl 50 on a warrior. A really great guild with good people!

I just got my first “bugged” lupi solo done. I was just practicing with some safe traits on and ended up getting it done. It was easier than I thought it would be, and I am not an elite solo player by any means.

Still looking for more players who are able to do dungeons at reset.

Bump. We’ve recruited dozens of new members, and still looking to grow. Come join us for some dungeon runs!

Yes, I hope they fix this as this has glitched characters with legendaries and other particle effect items for several patches now without any attention be given to it.

Video evidence of glitch/bug:
http://youtu.be/DRzSIonrSXQ

Currently, there is a major graphical glitch that makes you appear blocky when you stealth. Other players in my parties have confirmed that they see the bug as well during stealth, so it is not a matter of my personal hardware.

Bump! Still looking for new members!

The game desperately needs an expansion to give the game new life, but it seems the whole team is just focused on working on new living story content. If Arena.net finally listens and releases an expansion with new dungeons, new areas, & new world bosses, new pvp and wvw maps, they would make a ton more money selling expansions than “nickel and dime”ing players through the gem store who log in to do their bimonthly living story update.

All the permanent content has hardly changed since the game has been released, and players are leaving left and right because they are tired of doing the same dungeons, same wvw maps, and pvp modes for 2 years now. How about working on some content that brings longevity to this game, rather than living story stuff you play once and never again?

NovaanVerdiano.6174:

They rather want to do small changes.
They found that Aetherpath already took enough time, so a whole new path will probably take even longer.

I’d say it’s pretty clear.

But did they actually ever mention new dungeons at all?
Maybe they don’t want to do major changes to the other dungeons BECAUSE they are putting their resources into new dungeon(s)?

It is also fully possible that it could be harder to build something as a part of something that already exists compared to something that is completely new and as such have no actual limitations.

The point still remains that they never actually mentioned anything at all about new dungeons, and as such it is rather silly that people are claiming that they did say that.

Not very likely with the lazy attitude they were showing by telling us that TA aetherpath was too much work. Usually if someone knows they have a big surprise, they will smile and maybe even give out a hint because they are excited about it. You can tell the devs have nothing from their response…

lordkrall.7241:

Can someone please quote me the exact line that says that there will be no new dungeons?
Based on what I heard (and understood) they talk about changing stuffs on EXISTING dungeons. But as far as I heard there is not even a mentioning of NEW dungeons. So would love for someone to quote the exact line.

You can interpret however you want to make you feel better and stay positive, but the two devs were asked directly about new dungeons, fractals, or other dungeon related changes. Basically the response sounded like “TA aetherpath was waaaay too much work and we’re not doing that again. Fractals is not out of the question since those are shorter and easier to make”. That response doesn’t exactly give me optimism that they want to put much effort into making new dungeons to me.

That’s very disappointing to hear. In the first living story, we were given three new dungeons: Molten Facility, Aetherblade Retreat, and TA Aetherpath. None of these were rewarding enough to make it part of a dungeon tour considering the amount of time needed to run them, but it was something. Instead of rereleasing the story dungeons they created in its entirety with some modifications to rewards, we got back portions of them as fractals. I’m not sure if I agreed with that direction either, but at least it was some additional content to play.

Since three completely new dungeons were created in the first living story, I don’t believe that it is too much work or Arenanet doesn’t have the resources to create new dungeons or expand on the current dungeons with new explorable paths. They’ve shown in the past that it can be done. They have simply chosen to ignore the dungeon community with this response, instead catering to the casual crowd with periodic living story updates.

We have all known the direction Arenanet has been moving in for awhile, but many of us have stuck around in hopes of an expansion or surprise update. I had hopes at one point before release that Dry Top would contain a new dungeon and a new world boss since Arenanet took a long break from releasing living story updates and recycled past content for months… but all we got was disappointment.

The least Arenanet can do is give us back TA F/U. Why take out content from us just because it was bugged? Just fix the nightmare tree and put it back in the game please.

I’m disappointed that you guys didn’t bring an Engi for this one

1.5 gold for the AC paths is fair. If you look at the record clear times on gwscr.com, AC has some of the slowest paths out of all the dungeons. There’s no possible way you can speed up Detha setting up the traps in P2, or destroy the burrows in P3 in the Lover’s Crypt any faster.

I think the dungeon rewards for the most part are pretty accurate. A few changes I would suggest, however:

• Make Aetherpath more rewarding to motivate more people into running it (it should be at least 3 gold, if not more)
• Arah P3 should have a reward in line with Arah P1 and P2 as its not much shorter, if it is at all, than the other Arah paths if you know what you are doing.
• CoE paths should be a bit more rewarding… I know you can get lucky with RNG and get charged lodestones as well as vicious claws from destroyers, but it’s a long dungeon for only a guaranteed 1 gold reward.

It’s been done before by several people, but I thought I’d share my solo too and provide some tips to anyone who also wants to try it. He’s actually a very easy solo with slow and obvious tells.

The troll only has two moves that you need to dodge.
1) Lightning Ball Pitch – his arm will pull backwards like a baseball pitcher’s windup, and then he will do his throw. Dodge as soon as you see him extend his arm fully backwards.
2) Stomp – He leaps in the air, then stomps the ground. Dodge towards the troll when you see him at the peak of his leap.

Energy sigils and traits/utilities that give vigor or endurance regeneration is helpful for this fight. Hopefully less players will range this trivial boss with this info now :-)

Banned For Exploits [OP] is a new guild based in Jade Quarry (NA Server) with 40 members who have been running dungeons together for quite some time in other guilds.

We are a semi-hardcore PvE guild with a focus on running dungeons/fractals effectively and efficiently. We are not a side guild, we expect to be your main dungeon PvE guild; however we understand if you have a WvW/Personal/PvP guild that you like to rep while running with them. We expect at least 80% representation.

Dungeon Lineup
We start our dungeon tours shortly after reset, and run 10-15 paths per day. Dungeons in our daily lineup include 10-15 of the following:

• AC P1/P2/P3
• SE P1/P3
• TA Up / Fwd
• CoE P1/P2/P3
• CoF P1/P2
• CM P1/P2/P3
• HotW P1
• Arah P1/P2/P3/P4

Guild Benefits

• Teamspeak server (Strongly recommended that you install this software. We understand if you’re too shy to speak or don’t have a mic, but we do encourage you to at least come and listen)
• Knowledgable leaders, who do not mind teaching lesser experienced players how to run dungeons
• We are a new guild and currently building the guild buffs and unlocking guild missions. We should have them ready soon. Currently we only have guild bounties unlocked.

Requirements for new members:

• 80% Representation – again, we are not a side guild, but understand some people want personal guilds for additional bank space
• Ability to listen, and take advice from others. The meta is constantly changing, and stubbornness is not a quality we want in our guild mates.
• Experience in most dungeons is expected, but we are also willing to teach anyone how to do all dungeon paths as long as you are eager to learn and run the meta build for your class
• Proper gear and equipment for dungeon runs – Berserker’s/Assassin’s weapons, armor, and jewelry that are at least exotic quality, Food/Dungeon Potions, DPS Sigils (Force/Night & Force/Slaying/Frailty), DPS Runes (Scholar/Strength/Ranger)

Application/Trial

• We allow you to run with our guild as an initiate for up to a month. To become a full member, we expect you to be able to lead a group of guild officers through a full dungeon tour of 10 paths of your choice while assuming our officers know nothing about the dungeon paths.

Wait people take leader boards seriously?

Well if Arena.net decides that you need to play a different game in order to be competitive on the leaderboard, then nobody should take it seriously anymore. You shouldn’t have to feel like you have to go back to GW1 to stay on the GW2 leaderboard. You can’t get those achievements by playing GW2, so it shouldn’t have that big of an effect on the GW2 leaderboards. That’s been my point all along, and I’m not saying GW1 vets shouldn’t be rewarded – they already have been rewarded enough with skins and titles.

Wait, so is there still a problem? Since the criteria listed in your first sentence in true, therefore the result listed in the same sentence should also apply. Nobody should take it seriously anymore, and neither should you.

And as I stated before, “they already have been rewarded enough” is your subjective opinion, not your determination to make, and one that ANet clearly disagrees with.

I did care about the leaderboards, but if Arena.net wants to give out substantial GW2 achievement points for things you can’t even accomplish inside the game itself, then the leaderboard has lost a lot of credibility.

The point of the leaderboard is to show how much people have accomplished in GW2… not GW1, not Aion, not Lineage, or whatever. GW1 can have it’s own separate leaderboard.

Awe.1096:

GW1 is not a temporary content. It is still there and if you want, you can get it and work on your 50/50. Dailies are much worse since if you miss one, they are gone for good. If you really want those points, play some GW1.

That’s the thing. Yes, you can still go back and do it, but why is it worth so much? You shouldn’t get a SUBSTANTIAL amount of GW2 achievement points for doing stuff in another game. Does Arenanet really want you to go back to play GW1 instead of GW2? Why did they feel they need to reward so much for doing so much in another game?

It’s like making the All NBA-team because you were an all-american in college. You don’t deserve credit (at least not achievement credit when there’s competitive leaderboards) – different league, different game.

RoRo.8270:

Wait people take leader boards seriously?

Well if Arena.net decides that you need to play a different game in order to be competitive on the leaderboard, then nobody should take it seriously anymore. You shouldn’t have to feel like you have to go back to GW1 to stay on the GW2 leaderboard. You can’t get those achievements by playing GW2, so it shouldn’t have that big of an effect on the GW2 leaderboards.

Antara.3189:

billykwong.3742:

I’m not being spiteful to GW1 veterans. I’ve always said GW1 veterans should be rewarded, but not with more achievement points that affect Guild Wars 2 leaderboards. You guys can be given more armor and weapon skins, more cool titles, etc for all I care, but when you are given a 450 point boost, that is a bit unfair for those trying to be competitive in GW2. This is a different game, leaderboards were added for competition, and you shouldn’t gain that big of a competitive advantage for playing a different game. That’s all I’m saying.

This can just go back and forth, but with that logic;

Let’s say I take a break for a year, Live Story continues, and you continue to rack up points, I come back to find out players could earn a total of 3k points by completing all the live story within that year. Should I say that was unfair because they got to get those points and I didn’t? Because I didn’t know about it? or didn’t feel like playing? They are both designed by the same company and they support both games. They have always been tied together, this is nothing new.

AS much as I wish you could go back in time 2 years and slam out GW1 HoM before GW2 was out, you can’t and it just happened that way. Some of us were there and got to play. It’s the same logic as me missing out on a new update and not knowing about it. Nothing you can do.

It’s different. Those achievements you missed were at least in GW2, so those are fair achievements to be on the Guild Wars 2 leaderboard. You should not be rewarded a ton of achievement points for playing GW1, which is a different game. Skins, titles, and an insignificant amount of points is OK.

This is like Blizzard rewarding WoW players with a competitive advantage on a leaderboard for WoW for playing Diablo 1, 2, Warcraft, The Lost Vikings, and Starcraft because they are loyal customers, and not for actually accomplishing things in WoW. It makes the leaderboard a joke.

The players on the leaderboard should truly be those that accomplished the most in GW2, not from other/past games. You shouldn’t have to go back to playing an older game to stay competitive.

I’m not being spiteful to GW1 veterans. I’ve always said GW1 veterans should be rewarded, but not with more achievement points that affect Guild Wars 2 leaderboards. You guys can be given more armor and weapon skins, more cool titles, etc for all I care, but when you are given a 450 point boost, that is a bit unfair for those trying to be competitive in GW2. This is a different game, leaderboards were added for competition, and you shouldn’t gain that big of a competitive advantage for playing a different game. That’s all I’m saying.

Most of you won’t understand unless you are an achievement hunter and going for the leaderboards… only then would you realize how big of an effect this change has. You have to go back and play GW1 to be competitive.

Serendipity.8326:

Paulytnz.7619:

Trust me you could get 500 points a heck of a lot easier/faster just playing gw2 don’t worry about it…..

Tell that to the people who have 10k+ AP…

Exactly. For those of you who actually take the game seriously, the 500 achievement points is a big deal and it’s not easy to make up once you’re that high in achievement points. Unless you are close to making the leaderboards, then you won’t understand what this change means.

I would say the Fiery Dragon Sword is more than just a useless skin, considering Jormag’s Breath is worth 150 gold and shares the same skin, but colored different. God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals is one of the coolest titles you can have. Also now, if you had any ambition of making the Guild Wars 2 achievement leaderboard, you have to go back and play Guild Wars 1 to be competitive. You should be rewarded, but you shouldn’t be rewarded that much for playing a different game.

And for those of you saying 500 points isn’t a lot… it really is. If you are up high enough to make the leaderboard, you’ve accomplished almost everything in the game already and the points are not easy to come by.

Nick, that’s not what I’m saying. I said they deserve something for playing Guild Wars 1 and being a loyal customer – the 50 total achievement points, skins, AND titles is enough of a reward in my opinion.

To make it a requirement to play Guild Wars 1 in order to make the GUILD WARS 2 leaderboard is not fair. 500 Achievement points vs 50 achievement points rewarded before is a huge difference.

Was it intentional to make each tier of Hall of Monuments points worth 50 points now, when before each tier was only worth 5 points?

I’m all for giving players of the original Guild Wars a slight benefit for being a loyal customer to Arena.net, but 500 achievement points seems a lot to be rewarded for gaining achievements that aren’t even in this game. I think it is a bit unfair to those achievement hunters who did not get a chance to play Guild Wars 1 much. It makes me want to go back to Guild Wars 1 just to get those achievements now, since they are worth so many points when I’d rather be playing Guild Wars 2.

I had a chance of getting on the Achievement Points leaderboard before, but now I have no chance at all and it’s because I didn’t accomplish things in ANOTHER game. That is not fair.

see topic.

I wanted to edit my post, but couldn’t. I then tried to delete then repost, but the forum wouldn’t delete my post.

Yup, definitely bugged.

Won the Crab Toss 3 times today, and no daily achievement rewarded.

My recommendation.
2 guardians (at least 1 of them zerker)
2 zerker warriors
1 mesmer

This is the correct answer.

First in first out

Yes, something needs to be done about the lack of stat variety on legendary weapons. Either a legendary transmutation stone, or a legendary NPC which changes the stats to what you want is needed.

It’s really disappointing to do all the work needed for a legendary only to find out it doesn’t have the stats required for 90% of the builds out there, and transmuting it causes lots of bugs and causes it to lose its legendary status

I got an error message, saying I encountered a serious error that prevents the game from running. When I try to relog in, it asks me to verify the game archive. However, the progress bar doesn’t move at all and I see at 0% the entire time the game is attempting to verify the game archive.

What do I need to do? reinstall the game?

I am looking for a guild to do Guild Missions. I am looking for a large, active guild that has a focus on PvE, as that is what I enjoy most. The guild I am looking for should have 200+ members, and should have some guild missions unlocked.

About Me:

• I am experienced.
• I play the game everyday and I have 3 level 80 characters. (Warrior, Ranger, Thief)
• My main is a shout warrior with full exotics, and ascended rings and amulet. I frequently run Fractals, and have 35 agony resist. I have unlocked up to FotM lvl 33 on this character.
• I have world exploration completed on both my Warrior and Ranger, which should help with Guild Bounty Missions.
• I prefer PvE (specifically Fractals & Dungeons (mostly CoF)), but do occasionally jump into WvW.
• I am 28 years old, college educated, and have a salaried job. I generally log-in after 4PM CST on weekdays.
• I am willing to use any voice communication software that your guild may use. I have a microphone & camera.

Feel free to respond to this thread, message me in-game, or send me in-game mail if you are interested in recruiting me.

Thank you!

You only get the present boxes.

I thought the reward was really disappointing considering how much time you spend doing it, and how repetitive the event is. It’s totally not worth the effort.
