Guild Wars 2

If a new raid comes out and all teams are figuring out tactics theyll just do it in es mode and spoil themself on mechanics of bosses afterte first lol

I couldnt agree more with this post. I made the potion and only realised afterwards, I guess I won’t be playing warrior and thief in fractals without paying relics…

Naaaaaah. Make timewarp an AoE that removes all of your quickness when you exit it. But make it apply one instance of 10 seconds. This would make it useful while adding some play to it which wont be overpowered and easy.

Rising Dusk.2408:

I’m going to take this lovely image as an opportunity to chat about the most common pub compositions for Fractals.

I don’t think this really says anything about Necromancers or Druids per se, but rather says a lot about the way every fractal is constructed, including the bosses even. Honestly, I think the Druid is completely unnecessary in the comp because it’s basically impossible to die as a remotely competent Necromancer in T4 Fractals.

• There are always a number of targets present, so Epidemic is always relevant.
• There are no DPS checks or enrage mechanics, so taking a bit longer but being much safer is very valuable for runs with players you don’t know anything about.
• Most enemies aren’t remotely threatening to competent players, but are noob-killers that prey on players who don’t know how to handle their classes or the fractal’s mechanics.
• Toughness scaling at high levels strongly encourages condition damage builds and not power builds.
• Many encounters outright encourage range with more melee-punishing mechanics than range-punishing mechanics (ie. Imbued Shaman / Archdiviner / Molten Duo / Mai Trin)

Even if they nerfed Necromancers to oblivion, it would just become 4 condi Engineers and a Druid, or whatever. The lack of build diversity is entirely due to the fractals’ mechanics and the overarching toughness mechanics.

Yup, You’re right except the druid part. Druid is only used for small DPS modification (sun spirit), and more importantly: healing the minions, minions have no cap on them so you can get as many out as you want, but they die over time as they lose HP, if you heal them, they don’t die, if they don’t die, you have an army of bleed applying minions that carry the necro DPS by a ton.

Quatro fromaggi (4x cheeses) pizza with extra druid!

Thats pretty much how most t4 runs are done atm

There’s no secret that the Legendary wings have lost their prestige. Usually I don’t care about prestigeness since legendary weapons lose prestige over time as more people can afford to buy one. But with the PvP legendary backpack I am not ok with. IMO, one of the requirements to attain the wings should have been reaching legendary prestige x1 in atleast 3 seasons. I don’t think it’s right that you can never reach legendary in any season and still get the wings.

no thanks, im a pve’r and just want to farm my way to this lege ahuehue ;3 anet’s mistake of adding a RANKED pvp exclusive skin.

Ohoni.6057:

I legitimately don’t like PvE and wish there were other ways to obtain Legendary but that’s my own wishful thinking.

And I definitely agree that this should be an option. Win/Win.

That said, things will no longer be exclusive and I very much like to show off my PvP rewards too.

I think there is value in a player being able to “show off.”

I think there is MORE value in a player having the skin that he wants to have, because he thinks it looks cool.

I think that when a player’s ability to “show off” has to come at the expense of other players not having the skin that they want, or having to go through gameplay that they do not enjoy, then that is a net-negative for the game.

There can be methods of showing off, things like the World Completion star or the PvP League nametag icon, which have no purpose whatsoever except to say “I have done this thing.” That’s great, that’s fine. But if we’re talking armor skins, obviously there will be people who will want that skin who have absolutely no interest in “showing off” that they have completed any specific task. The one should never limit the other.

I completely agree with this, I personally am an example of a PvE player who comes to PvP just for the backpiece, I really dislike the gamemode. I’ve done lots of WvW and “duels” etc but this doesnt make me any better in PvP rotating and knowing where to go, I want it so I go for it, I don’t care if people say im bad or should play unranked instead.

If anet handles it well, they can really (partially) fix this though, they said there would be another way of obtaining it after the year, if its a really farmy method that doesnt require ranked then you could just get the backpiece a year after it comes out and farm for it instead (still in pvp, ranked or reward tracks… ). then the other PvPers have a year to “show off”.

camps are pretty easy to solo tho… there was this one time i did it solo on a lv1 warrior, Literally didnt even complete the starting instance and went straight to wvw, it was not easy, but i did manage to solo it with just my autoattack, F1 with one bar of adrenaline and my heal xD…

“If you can’t beat them, join them.”

(which is what most have done) XD thats why most have it now too lel. wellp they are not invulnerable, you can always run warrior with melandru runes and throw blueprints on them when they die \o/

refreshing is quite annoying, couldn’t the buff be 2h instead of 1? ;(

39 golems worth over 4k supplies. coz reasons.

LouWolfskin.3492:

This is in WvW right? Maybe a sort of trap?

Fat Disgrace.4275:

how did that even happen ?

Hehe, actually it’s a consumable that is not banned from WvW, one of the very few that still works, it deals no damage, you use it and it’ll hit for “0” every time, although it has a chance on exploding which will put your first five skills on 60seconds cooldown, thief is no exception ^^

That moment when your own class refuses to function properly and hates you ;(
I mean.. who needs initiative anyway am i rite?

Behellagh.1468:

Do we really need a “oh no, not another outfit” thread every time. They’ve said that’s what we are going to get from now on in the store. They’ve said that armor sets take a whole lot more work to do which is why we don’t see them in the store anymore.

Fine, I know there’s a segment who hate them. You are always going to hate. We get it. But I find them fine for leveling.

if only leveling was a thing for us endgame players. ^^

Chasind.3128:

People actually wanted this outfit? Great that it’s a skin but in a 50$ bundle. GG anet, I’m still not opening my wallet until new faces and hairstyles are released.

nono, thats the problem; its an outfit, i wanted it as skin, just like 9001 other people i know…

omg yes guys theres now the white mantle skins,
I wanted them since w3 came out so bad :O…
and now they are here.. as… an outfit.. GeeGee, 0/10 wouldn’t buy

long story short: me and tons of other people i know would buy TONS of skins from the gemstore if they were skins and not outfits.
there has not been new gemstore skins as armorsets in ages.
and i know if they just made alot of outfits into 6 skins, tons more people would buy it.
but yeah outfits are less work to make :>

Fractals are still way too easy. I want my old Pre-Fractured system back, mai trin shot me on lv100, it didnt even take half my hp… oh such hard content boiz, highest level fractal doesnt even kill me when i’m too garbage to dodge

Basicly all prestigeous items are out of the game now.
Imo, the fractal tonic was a very prestigeous item, yes it was a very RNG item, but because of that most people having it are people that did a billion fractals (and sometimes random lucky people). Its droprate has been buffed by a ton it seems.
(even HoT legendaries are easy to get now, the acc bound requirements are pretty much all easy to get)

Funny, I had “this” happen before.

we won that game, although I think it might just have been RNG that gave us the win instead of the actual 1 point extra we had. if both teams reach 500 or more I think its just random who wins regardless of the points.

Note: our team’s total points combined is less than the opponents total points combined. So either we won because of the 1 point extra or RNG.

Absurdo.8309:

I believe this bug has been in the game since HOT, but has become more apparent recently with the fall of condi warrior.

When there are too many necro minions on the field, Sabetha no longer targets the player furthest away. Instead, she’ll target one of the minions in melee range. I’ve found that 2 lich form minion summons is enough to trigger the bug.

For now, the work-around appears to be to only use the lich form skill once, at the beginning of the fight.

You’re right. I’ve seen her shoot in melee range while there is a person standing at distance. Alot even. Always when we had a necro with lots of minions. Not sure if it really is the minions causing it but you may very well be right.

LucianDK.8615:

Standing on the tree west of the entrance pool to mossman seems to be the new thing now. Players can damage him with little damage in return, and the challenge is completely gone once again.

Once again? The challenge was gone since HoT. Safespot or not, the content is faceroll. ;(

Sariel V.7024:

The only way to remove a transmute skin is to use the Transmutation Splitter. I don’t think these are sold any more. They’ve had some interesting effects on more modern items.

Oh yeah te splitter… that thing was removed from the gemstore upon wardrobe announcement… couldnt turn my one ascended zerk quiver into two ascended backs anymore Q_Q

Wondrouswall.7169:

PUGs migrated from Dungeons to Raids. Can’t be helped. AP has been replaced with Insights and Dungeon Master substituted with The Eternal.

The fun times are back, boys ‘n’ girls! x)

Wait..? Dungeon master? Kick from party

Please.. ping gear and dungeoneer or get out.

Naaah maaaan… recipe: 10x +10 infusion, Endless fractal tonic, 25 regular fractal skins of the same weapon (500 pristines), 50 balls of dark energy.

I’d do it.

Should work. Im all for it. Give it like 1 AP for every daily. I dont care too much though

What i want for fractals: make lv101-125, make a daily for it, make the daily be 5 random fractals, have just one instability: “bosses hit for twice the ammount” ( ;D see what I did there? )

I would LOVE this.. oneshotting bosses again? Random fractals? No more skillcapping anti-skilledplay-instabilities(dodge)? YES PLEASE

Atleast they fixed the molten skip for good

Im glad that they fixed both the rev and the ele/guard/warr skip. You DO have to actually kill the stuff before being able to trigger the boss. Just standing in the boss room wont work anymore.

Its all still so faceroll though.. i want my old fractal system back.. or make lv94 part of te daily anet <3

They are already going this way. But alot of the time its dodge or l2p. Invul. Dodge etc and a rather strong. heal for every class is already strong. In a game without dodge you might see tanking and healing more. But here? Well timed dodge and invul is all you need. (Except for periodic damage like in raids)

Loads of people run full exotic in raids and beat the bosses. I think its more a requirement to check your standards. Better people tend to have full ascended.

If the green area has not spawned for a while, and you know the zones are about to change. Move to the next. If you have a druid you should be able to outheal one even if its in a previous zone

Marriner’s compass and circle of light cannot be attuned either ;( (I cri everytiem)

But yeah i know how you feel. Was about to buy the sabetha backpiece for tokens and then read it cannot be infused.. rip

Fractals? What are fractals? Oooooooohhh you mean Swamplands of the mists.. riiight…

I worked hard for my ascended. Everyone is getting that now without doing ANYTHING.

Fractlas are supposed to go up in difficulty and reward skilled players on high levels and others on lower levels. But since you can get any reward regardless of skill… also its always swamp/molten which is boring..

There is one easy way to fix it though! Have the fractals be random.. sounds familiar right ;P

Likes: the fractals core
Dislikes: every single change they made to fractals since HoT

kitten , I really want this backpiece if I can infuse it. But since I cannot I really don’t want it… :/

What is this fractals you guys keep mentioning? I’ve only seen Swamplands of The Mists..

But seriously.. bring back random fractals that they force you to do for your daily. Then you play everything. Ive been playing frac since it came out and its always been fun .. until now. Dungeons were fun too since anet forced me to do every path not more then once. I want them to MAKE me do the other fractals.

More different encounters = less exploiting. Most dungeons were ran without exploits. (Or insignificant ones) and i bet you dont know many exploits for the other fractals. These that youve done a billion times before HoT.

Also i dont think fractals should reward me with gold this much. And ascended drops should still be rare.

One more thing: I hope you all get nothing from your fractals dailies. Because none of you deserve any of it (same goes for me) im glad the rewards are crap atm. Serves us right.

Pre-HoT: dungeons and fractals as most played inistance pve content: 1: thieves had the highest single target DPS. 2: they bring the utility “stealth” that is handy in tons of fractals and dungeons.

Post HoT: Raids and Fractals are te most played inistance content: 1: thieves are no longer the highest single target DPS. 2: they bring almost no support to the party except for stealth which is completely ussless in raids and fractals ( because who needs stealth in your daily swamp am i right..) and dungeons are dead. (Speedrun groups for it are. And these are the ones that used stealth).

So basicly… thieves have become what necromancers were before HoT: non-superior damage without utility.

If I didn’t know better i’d say the tonic is removed from the loot table.. oh wait.. i don’t know better…

Ohwell.. i got mine pre-HoT and to be perfectly honest its not like anyone deserves to loot this tonic with this new system. Do the 3 easiest fractals out of half of them to get it? Fractals of the mists isnt NEARLY as hard as it should be. Did i say fractals? I meant swamplands of the mists ;p

But now for a real answer: i know tons of people doing fractals everyday and none of them have seen anyone drop the tonic since HoT. Which is normal given its extreme dropchance. So either its removed or still as rare or even rarer as before

eresia.5912:

Hi all, when i change map (zone) or enter inside istance, 9/10 times the client give me error network. Only after last patch…
I dont have problem with my firewall or routing, im sure!
Anyone know a solution? Now i can’t login in lornar pass (example), return the same issue and the char is inside lornar pass…

I have the exact same problem… Its a pain when I do fractals -_- I just did 5 fractal runs, and i couldn’t complete ANY of them because the whole party disconnected(from this same issue) at the exact same time when we load into the next fractal.. very fun when you’re finally going to get the boss or you’re far in (espically in fractals where the best loot comes at the end).. (full party disconnect = nobody in the inistance = inistance gets deleted = you can start over or ragequit)

was it? it was in the middle of season 1 though. so Halloween (mini candy corn elemental) is not stand alone? also the shattered wings are not being sold either, those were from dragonbash. I don’t see a reason to not add those 2 back item skins to the laurel vendor

was a boss reward. Boss week. Wasn’t part of the Living story.

yeah what this guy said

alot of you are telling me this, but my question then is.. the dragon horn helmet skins are at the laurel vendor, it was a festival, and the item was earned through achievements. the shattered wings, from THE SAME FESTIVAL, earned by achievements ASWELL and they are not available, seems unfair to me (same thing goes with some other items that are not at the vendor)

yeah like me.. i had that fused gauntlet from the first living story ever thought it was super cool that I had such an item.. then boom its for little price in the game again.. while the skins that came later on, where i didn’t care much about are now unobtainable.

yeah I hope so.. just stupid how some events have some of the skins at the vendor. dragon helm from dragonbash for example, thats being sold for laurels/gold.. but not the shattered wings? even though that was from the same event. (and I bet more people want the wings then the helmet)

was it? it was in the middle of season 1 though. so Halloween (mini candy corn elemental) is not stand alone? also the shattered wings are not being sold either, those were from dragonbash. I don’t see a reason to not add those 2 back item skins to the laurel vendor

I am looking forward to Halloween and maybe wanted to get a look for it going. I noticed the wings of the sunless and realised it was a part of LS S1 so i went to the laurel vendor and it was not there? why is this not here with some other things like the shatterer wings and the other skins/consumables are? it seems unfair :/ i would pay alot of laurels/gold for it

I know it’s not a good Idea to put SAB in game atm, cuz it will destroy the mordremoth hype etc, but I really want SAB O.O so pls just give an indication when it will be or something

I was playing the game when I got disconnected, and couldn’t log back on, It keeps loading with no result, error 42:1000:7006:1322 build 31911 it sais.
after ~10 minutes it works again, but then after playing ~10 minutes I get the same issue over and over. (also: during the period I couldn’t log in, guildwars2.com didn’t work for me. all other sites do.)

I was wondering if anyone else has/had this problem?
