Worst Elitist Pug you've met?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: metaldude.4132

metaldude.4132

Probably not the worst, but definitely the most recent; Pugged a Lv40 fractal on my guardian to kill some time. Generally i run guardian when i pug since it’s easier to not have a run ruined by silly pugs when i’m on it, and it proved to be a great choice.

This kitten warrior kept flaming me for running GS/hammer/mace/whatever instead of sword, saying that it was by far the highest DPS/utility a guardian has, and i’m gimping my party by not running it for every encounter. He also used his apparent mystic powers to deduce that i was running defensive runes/armour too (i’m not), since i was managing to not take much damage most of the time. Apparently not sucking automatically means i’m full tank…

Halfway through the third fractal he then decided to not run PS because he was “tired of carrying us”. We then got to Mai Trin, where he decided that standing as far away from the rest of us as possible was the best decision to make, so we spent longer than we needed to get her stacks off. The other party members then died in the second cannon phase, which led him to start abusing them instead of paying attention to the fight, which then saw him being smashed by Horrick. He shouts at me rez him, calling me names and telling me that without him we’d have to redo the entire fight, and that he doesn’t have time to waste on us….etc…etc.

By this point all the other members of the party were massively kittened off too, so i said to them that i could drag the fight out solo for as long as they wanted, just to kitten the guy off, which they agreed to. So i spent 20-25mins kiting her around with the warrior going mental in the chat, telling me to die so he can kill her himself. The other party members were obviously having a great time watching him get more and more frustrated, when i told him that i could probably kite her all day without dying, and intentionally not killing her.

He then left the group, which caused us no end of amusement. Good times.

Grabs popcorn great job on that, wish I could have seen that :P

The Horrible, Awful, Tragic Death of My Build

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

metaldude.4132

Can I have your stuff if you quit?

You could change your trinket to adapt your build. They are far cheaper.

I’m sorry but if you have a mix of zerker and celestial and your character is too squishy for you, then you are not a really good player. Why did you went after ascended gear if you didn’t master your profession yet? I mean AC is already super easy on an Elementalist in full zerker so I can’t imagine any profession with some celestial gear.

Maybe you 2 should go 1 on 1 in PVP..see who is right about being a good player ?

Not a fan of Revenant...

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: metaldude.4132

metaldude.4132

I’ve played the revenant in the Beta..I must say it is not yet convincing.
Ofc we have only a limited items to our disposal, but so far I feel the following:
- The animations of the skills are rich..maybe too rich for my taste, blurring the environment
- Skills execute quite slow imo
- Working with a revenant has similarities to necro, ele, engi. A lot of possibilities and switching between stances, making revenant a challenging class to play. (but thats really personal)

WvW Passive Upgrade System….[DISCUSS]

Isn’t defending objects like a supply camp suppose to be “working as intended” ? I really do not see why this is a con (regarding the OP). It demands more strategic planning if the need to speed up upgrades arises..if this choice is not made, well, upgrading takes a bit longer. more a matter of choice then a con IMO

Here is the funny thing I have the right to complain all I want about a game. Just like you have the right not to read or care what i say. Im not saying I wont get it im saying its just a month worth of patches In one day for 50.00 but of course you will show how smart you are and say something back. lol

If you want to complain about a game without it being released, go ahead, use your right..it does however looks rather prejudiced and holds no ground whatsoever.

I think I am going to abuse my right too and complain about Guild Wars 5 which is about to be released in 2038… XD

But there’s gravity in game just like in real life… and air and the Sun and all these things you know. So yeah why is gravity not working on Tequatl? Did he buy something from Trading Post that I didn’t?

HOT beta newsletter/ email

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: metaldude.4132

metaldude.4132

It isn’t required but suggested.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/About-the-Portal-to-Maguuma-s-Heart

We’ve been asked about whether you must be a newsletter subscriber to get access to the beta test. Signing up for the newsletter is not required to be given access to the beta test. However, to get beta schedules, instructions on how to access the test, or any other beta-related information, you will need to sign up for the newsletter.

Anyone who finds a Portal to Maguuma’s Heart will have access. A certain number of testers will be selected from the newsletter subscriber list. So as you can see, being a newsletter subscriber has a dual benefit: You increase your chances of getting into the beta test, and you receive direct communication about the test and its schedule.

Thanks for that. Dont like the idea of my e-mail address being at different departments for security reasons, way too late once the damage is done (and to answer any nay sayers, it happens!).

What security reasons are you referring to?

We don’t need to see it in-game, sometimes good video evidence is enough for me to track down who it was. In this case, the video was enough for me to find out who it was and take action. Thanks for the video, and to accompany your video, I give you this video of his account’s last moments:

Oh yah, he’s also banned

Finally a dev who gets what needs to be done about hackers! <3

Also, I have a suggestion… make this weekly, I will anticipate your videos with a lot of joy.

OW YES! Ban of the week…in which the most original ways to kill and ban a player are reviewed and provided with a score…with the result of having a ban of the year award at the end of the season..XD

(Seriously..of course this cannot be done..serious matters need to be taken care of in a professional way, not made fun of. But still it gives insight in A-nets actions towards speedhacking players)

Downside of this is that there is a kind of witch hunt going down..I was roaming wvw for daily purposes, evaded with Shortbow skill 3 upon stumbling on an enemy but dc’ed after that. Upon returning (yay for ssd drive ) , I got this whisper from someone who’s name shall remain hidden (although my fingers are itching to place it here!!) that he has reported me for speedhacking ! I explained to the player this was not the case, but sure enough, player blocked me..

Also, OP, if you aren’t averse to buying stuff with gems and you really want sprockets, get a watchwork mining pick. It has a chance to give sprockets when in use.

Ascendant Armor and Infusions

depends..if you use the basic infusions, there is a limit. If you however manage to find infused ascended trinkets (those have 2 infusion slots) , you can create your own infusions and go up as high as you like although it is not neccessary..I think that 70 is enough. Be aware though that self-crafted infusions ONLY work with forementioned infused trinkets !
So, you could use the simple infusion slots for stat raise and the infused trinkets for added AR
