Guild Wars 2

I noticed that my character’s head was much larger than before the patch, and others have pointed out that the “head size” slider is now missing from character creation for Asura. Was this an intended change? My character looks really bizarre now.

Head size has also apparently been normalized on already created characters, my asura’s head got a lot bigger last night.

I also noticed my asura’s head got larger. Don’t really prefer it this way…

Same here, here’s a screenshot:

Robert, out of curiosity, why is the speed at which people run dungeons such a concern? Aren’t the rewards identical to all other exotic gear? If someone spends 100 hours running the exact same path over and over to obtain a cosmetic reward, that doesn’t seem broken to me (in fact it seems more than a little crazy, and if they are willing to bore themselves to death for 100 hours…).

And even if you disagree, isn’t limiting reward somewhat counter to some of your overall design goals? Diminishing returns is something that doesn’t “feel fun” to players, it feels arbitrary, and from some perspectives punishes success. A player will only be considering what they could have gotten, which changes the entire conversation to something negative.

If a group of players that doesn’t have the perfect class makeup or incredible dps has to wait two hours for the stars to align in order to kill this boss, it’s poorly tuned.

DKP.4196:

Poison the boss constantly, quickness buffs left and right, AOE boss and crystals same time. Dodge the crystals, stability is great. Range the boss, try not to melee, although 4 pugs all melee with me range worked great.

Most important, dodge when you see the purple attacks coming from the boss, dont get doted by the burn. If you do, use a heal or ability to remove the dot.

Follow these simple steps and you will win.

Ty:)

We did all of these things and could not keep up with the stacks of regen on the boss during the third phase.

We just attempted this with two elementalists, a mesmer, a ranger and a guardian. Not sure if this fight is supposed to be doable with any class comp, but we could not get it down. Tried a couple methods, including the dps zerg, as well as having some players clear crystals while others dps. I like the idea of the fight, but we were a pretty competent group and we could not complete it.

Limited world transfers will make it pretty much impossible to shop servers for a working version of this skillpoint, so I hope they fix it and the two in Cursed Shore quickly.

I’m trying out this build at the moment for PvE: http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#Mzszz9MzMmxTMMmxTox0G0GokboczV

Using Carrion gear. So far I’ve had decent success in dungeons, although it’s weak against conditions (which is why I’ve added Cleansing Fire, although that’s got a pretty long CD).

This SP and the Spectral Sword further north in the labyrinth are still broken on a lot of servers.

Anyone know of a server where either/both of these are working?

Confirmed, thanks a ton! Now for the two in Cursed Shore

Does anyone know of a server this is working on at the moment?

Even if you don’t take the racial skills first, you get so many skill points by 80 just from running around the world that it really shouldn’t matter.

Turn off autotarget and it will work much better, I’ve found.

I run D/D in PvE and find that with an even mix of Knight and Valkyrie gear I’m tough enough to survive almost everything. I usually switch to staff for heavy PBAoE fights like boss dragons, however.

I trait heavily for direct damage as well, 30/20/20 fire/air/arcane.

MajorHeartfire, fire D/D is still quite good at aoe, in a lot of cases even better at close grouped mobs than staff. The primary attack isn’t, but everything else on the bar is either a true AoE cone or an area attack. Obviously for spread out mobs nothing compares to Meteor Shower.

All of the following is on the Fort Aspenwood server.

Meta Event Name: Southern Invasion of Orr
Dynamic Event: Escort the Weapons Transport to Lasciate Gate on Orr
The NPCs for this event are stuck on the Vizier’s Tower island and are not proceeding to their objective.

Meta Event Name: Southern Invasion of Orr
Dynamic Event: Clear Broken Spit of the risen sea creatures replicating themselves.
Objective Text: Risen Replicators destroyed 0/6 Risen remaining: 21

The replicators are not targetable. You can see them in the screenshot below between the two targetable Risen Crabs, but you cannot select or attack them, even with AoE.

More as I move around, there are quite a few bugged areas I ran into earlier.
