Guild Wars 2

This is a good find. Have you found any workarounds for this?

Empathetic Fighter.2065:

Forsaker and ventari showed pretty well whats wrong with where the balance in gw2 is heading to. not only powercreep but also AI, spammable abilities like dodging combined with boon stacking and stuff that has a too high influence of the outcome of a match. a good example of this is rallying, where teamfights are often manipulated through luck.

Do you have a link for this? I’m interested.

to the DR zerg that just glitched their way inside sunnyhill and took it…just wow

It’s a glitch with the tower. Report it via /bug ingame or make a thread in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs

Why do you use a rabid jewel on a carrion amulet?

I saw [NoQQ] Last night in FC BL roaming, didnt end to well for me regardless to say :P

DR why must we start the name calling and poo flinging so early in our match up? At least DH and SF were respectful towards us. You all just act childish cause we night cap you. I guess ill need to repeat myself. It has happened to every server we’ve ever faced, not just you. and if you dont care about points so much, why must you complain about us night capping, and “Zerging”, our “Zergs” are still smaller then DHs ever were.

Talks about being respectful, meanwhile the kitten flinging was started by several members of IoJ who felt the need to chest thump their late night pvdoor as usual.

No one complained about night capping, we just responded to the kitten talking and chest thumping that you guys did after your night capping. Look at our threads with GoM, they night capped every day and no one cared cause they kept it quiet and even admitted that it was the only reason they were winning.

ANYONE from ANY server that complains about those that play outside of the apparent “only important time” that is the NA prime has their head so far up their kitten they can see their own teeth. One player’s “night capping” is another player’s prime time. NA prime is NOT the only time that matters, quite often is the time zone filled with the largest portion of brain dead morons following the blue Dorito and 12 year old chest thumpers, they are the truly arrogant ones because THEIR time is the only one that matters, and anyone outside of their playing period is apparently ALWAYS bad, not important and arrogant? Hmmm I guess I shouldn’t expect any different considering America is the KING of arrogant, self righteous, stuck up, bubble world, loud mouthed morons am I right? Although I do know that’s overly harsh as I’m sure it’s just a vocal minority but for those that are vocal it stands true.

lol wow…

How do you handle conditions when your heal is on CD? Well of Power(lots of vigor) and Putrid Mark from staff usually get me by, but that’s already at least 30 trait points down the drain, because WoP without the reduced CD is meh, and good luck running the staff without Greater Marks. I’d say reconsider shelving the staff — Putrid Mark alone is digustingly useful, and being able to fear through blocks is also nice.

I don’t know about spectral grasp in group play. You could probably switch it out for something more useful. Consider:

• Signet of Undeath with Signet Mastery
• Epidemic to spread chill, immobilize, etc.
• Flesh Wurm for getting the hell out of there and for securing stomps when used with Spectral Walk.

How well does Spectral Wall work for you? I haven’t played around seriously with it because battles are constantly on the move.

I really like Spectral Walk over Signet of the Locust. Gives swiftness, and if you’re being focused, rapidly refills your DS. It’s especially good if you’re running any gear that increases your vitality (Soldier’s, Sentinel’s, Carrion, etc.)

Offhand warhorn is amazing. After switching it out to experiment with offhand focus, I find our long cast times make us very suspectible to blind and Locust Swarm effectively works as an anti-blind. The AoE daze with a Sigil of Paralyzation is potent as hell, just be careful not to waste it in groups running high stability uptime.

Axe is fine for blob v blob, especially the retaliation synergy with Plague. Dagger might work too if you can spread the immobilize or chill from focus, but again, very suspect to blinds and CC. The most annoying thing about Dark Pact and Spinal Shivers is the long cast time coupled with the fact that it won’t hit if your target moves behind you.

I suggest learning how to cancel your skills because there are times where you can save a skill from going on full CD if you can see that it will miss (out of range, blinded, wrong target, etc). Go to options and bind Stow / Draw Weapons under the Miscellaneous tab to a key you can easily reach. This will be your skill cancellation key.

Look into Superior Sigil of Hydromancy or Superior Sigil of Geomancy.

Why are you running Giver’s? I suggest running whatever is most appropriate for the weapon (eg. Rabid on staff; Berserker’s on dagger; Soldier’s/Sentinel’s on axe). If you crave more survivability, consider switching out Knight’s for Soldier’s or Sentinel’s. The extra vitality scales well with DS, and allows you to get more out of foods that give stats based on vitality and toughness.

I’ve had this happen a lot in large WvW encounters (30+). Haven’t been able to reproduce it in the mists at all.

Important to note that it works fine in sPvP. Bugged in PvE and WvW.

I’ve noticed this happening a lot in WvW. I couldn’t replicate it running around the mists, though. I wonder if it also happens when DS runs out of life force.

irishhaf.1692:

Not cool… fricking 40 person zerg in DR bl and people showing up inside a tower before the door down… I hope it was just a bug.

If that was northwest tower on the borderlands then we might have a trend going. These are from over a month ago:

Maybe someone could make a separate thread to gather evidence from other servers to get ArenaNet’s attention, I’m kinda swamped with finals atm

Does poison slow down the reviving speed?

Skrairgee.5870:

I’m sorry I took a really long time to post this. This event happened during last week’s match-up.

DR was able to get into Sunnyhill without breaking any walls/gates. I was wondering how are they able to get inside? It’s funny because they had golems at the gates, but the next moment they are in without the gates falling… Can anybody please explain? Is it a glitch or an exploit?

DH has done it to us on 2 separate accounts. I think it’s a glitch that happens when you upgrade guards. Never seen it happen when the tower is not upgraded with guards. Also, I’ve only see it occur in that particular tower.

Sorry for the buggy screenshots. My GPU seems to have problem taking screenshots when there’s a lot going on.

Zinrae.3769:

I don’t know if it’s been fixed in the last few days or not, but there was a bug you could pretty easily replicate in SAB to keep your camera zoomed out (like in the toad fight). I think that would be enough to see inside the wall, and people could be abusing it.

If this is what it is, I really hope it gets fixed soon so we stop seeing so much of this =\

Yeah, that’s probably what was happening. There’s no way to hit behind that gate unless you zoom way out. The attached screenshots are what he was referring to.

Regarding skill lag and higher latency than normal, try forcing GW2 to use port 80. It’s a tough sell but I say try it out and see it helps you out.

Was just trying to give you guys a good defense at NW tower in DR BL….but DH just wasn’t having it; not this night.

Suddenly people start coming in while gates & walls are still up. Sorry, couldn’t get very good pictures or a video because it all happened so fast.

Picture 1: Warrior is the first to no-clip into the tower.

Picture 2: Same warrior has to back off because me and the NPCs are wailing on her.

Picture 3, 4 & 5: Mesmer dropped a portal that has the rest of their forces come in.

Picture 6: Rofl.

Torqky.3682:

Does plague blind now work with the chill trait? Did they fix this?

yes, they did fix it. people will try to desperately dodge away from you xD

An exotic, account-bound amulet with the soldier prefix can be obtained from the chests in FotM. I’ve had it sitting on a mule since November, thinking it was easy to come by.

which foods are you using?

yes, stand-up desks are viable. see if you can improvise one before going out and buying a new desk though.

some information i found:

you can bypass 2) and 3) with http://www.guildwarstrade.com/search. this site only has items that are on the trading post though. find what you what to preview and copy the code into the chat.

Not sure about that, but they are aware that the LFG system is lacking.

Additional Comments: I came into this game with the mentality that making friends would be easy because of the cooperative environment that PvE offers. I was wrong in my expectations, and it took a while for me to realize that people aren’t just going to start talking. My assumption was that dynamic events would provide a context for people to start talking to each other, but nah, there really isn’t much that has to be coordinated. What that has done is create a situation I’m not used to -- talking for the sake of talking.

Was never good with small talk. Some people are really pro at it, could start a conversation about anything, y’know?

Are you willing to participate in Operation: UNION’S project, Y/N?: Yes, please.

I’m not having much fun. The feeling on connectedness that I’ve experienced in other MMOs isn’t there. I’m level 74 now, and it has been a very lonely 210 hours. Even with other people around, why does it feel that way? I’ve been thinking it’s just me – something’s wrong with the way I approach the game.

have you tried increasing the sound latency in the sound options?
