Guild Wars 2

So i’m missing the first 5 episodes > 1000 gems > 300 golds
Woah i would have even considered if i really wanted o buy HoT and PoF if i had knew that, i consider that a sort of rip off

Thanks for the help tho

Randulf.7614:

If you weren’t around for the 2-3 months free period during initial release, then you need to buy the corresponding episode to play in any of the 6 LS3 maps (same with the 2 LS2 maps if you lack them).

Afaik not even teleport to friend works (someone can confirm/deny that I’m sure)

(that should mean you at least have episode 6 for free)

No, the teleport doesen’t work, it wastes the charge though
So how many episodes do i have to buy to get access to the corresponding area? There is a list somewhere?

I came back afters 3 years and i’m catching up with the infos
What i was wondering is: can i access to this area in any way without having to spend 200 gems (60+ golds) for the living story mission?
I googled a bit but i can’t find a solution; it seems that they pulled a good rip off to the returning players

You shouldn’t go against the OP just cuz you don’t like/ already have the wings, as the billion of topics that everyday people create can tell us (but not to Anet) those fast sales are a terrible and frustrating idea, i won’t come back to play gw2 just because i risk to miss fast sales, i rather start hating gw2 and keep distance between it and me to play something else

So i quitted GW2 one year ago, and the meta is still the same?
Guess i did good.

What is Raid exactly? noob here..

Raids are dungeons made for more people than you’d typically be able to party with. They are generally harder than normal dungeons and require far more people and coordination. Many MMOs are centered around raids.

As time progresses, the number of people that make a raid is less and less. In the old EQ days raids were 75 man. In vanilla WoW they were 40-man, and later became 20 main. Rift even had 10 man raids.

The bottom line is they’re supposed to be challenging, instanced content done with more people than a standard party.

ahhh it’s kinda Dungeon only with more people XD

they’re also way longer with a weekly ID (since you need more days to complete a raid) , way harder and with more complex tactics, no idea how a raid would work on gw2 anyway cuz the lack of the trinity and since most of the bosses get facetanked.

largos, i don’t care about people saying its out of the lore they are the only cool race, also i didn’t read anything of the story and i also don’t care.

i think (and hope) it’s a bug since isn’t listed in the patch notes, this spell really became a self stun, it has exactly the oppisite purpose of what it have to do right now.

Bazooka.3590:

Every thiefs use this trait. The best condition removal in the game and its only in adept tier. Broken.
Very unbalanced. Its making the thiefs immortal for the most condi builds.

10 seconds interval is insane but i think this skill should move to higher tiers.
For example:
5secs interval and master tier or 3secs interval grandmaster tier.

what decent thief build does even use that trait line?

you make look like 1vs1 is the most important thing of spvp, wich is not.

d/d condition is incredibly stong now in sPvp with krait runes, give it a try it’s pretty funy to destroy 2vs1 while bunkering a point

no, it randomly restore one of all the type of skill the trait mention, even if you’re not using all of them-
Why that? because they had to do 12 traits

Flumek.9043:

The difference it causes is minimal/neglectable

no since the crit one can only be used on build with precision.

maybe its a bug even if i wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t.

the people on this game just block so easly. i get insults many times when i pvp but 80% of times i’m already blocked after the 1st whisp.
I always have a lot of fun with whispers on other games tough

Dude that’s how MMOs works, they will always be imbalanced, if you seek balance play an fps/moba not a casuals oriented mmo like gw2.

Chuck Zitto.2367:

No cooldowns and stealth on demand will probably never be balanced.

These are all right things, except all the words before the point at the end.

the only decent thing capricorn had was the art, then it was a lame and imbalance fest, obstructed underwater, lame nonsense sharks that would likely half my hp in 2-3 hit as thief, people running in the water at low hp just to make you waste a minute if you want to kill them, no idea how people liked that but i guess that’s what make gw2 a game with so many casuals.

put a description of the traits in the OP :
Deadly Arts: Revealed Training – Gain up to 200 extra power when you are revealed, based on your level Good for pve, might be funny for trollish oneshot pvp build

Critical Strikes : Invigorating Precision – You are healed for a % of the strike damage dealt. The current rate is 5%. Does not work on ambient creatures. horrible, no idea what’s the point of that thing

Shadow Arts: Resilience of Shadows – Stealth you apply reduces 50% incoming attack damage. Does not work against condition damage. it could actually have some uses in both pve/pvp, but.. what decent build invest 30 point in that trait line?

Acrobatics: Assassin’s Equilibrium – Gain 1s of stability when you are revealed. This is a high skill cap trait as you need to use it when you see a stun/daze coming and attack first to reveal yourself and gain the stability. i don’t know to be honest, it doesen’t seem TOO bad but i don’t see any real use since acrobatic don’t rely much on stealth anyway and also stability is used to tank those attacks that would otherwise stun you, but thief and tanking can’t live in the same phrase

Trickery: Bewildering Ambush – Stealing applies 5 stacks of confusion for 5 seconds. might be decent for some condition build, but still.. condi build sucks and i think the daze on steal and 20% less cd would be better? not so sure about that

this^
just use hide in shadow with d/p, also you can change the 7% precision converted in vitality with some other trait you might like more for your playstile.
Also ignore people that will say your favourite build is the strongest, meta build are always the strongest, they’re meta build for a reason.

Actually i think its a terrible trait, 5% and only on critical hits, this mean a medium aa crit of 1500 will heal you for 75, and a bs of 5k will heal for 250 now you put this low hp sustain against a +20% damage under 50% hp wich is probably the best singe trait the thief even have?
Also you need to use a direct damage build in order to get some decent heal, wich means you wont survive in fights long enough to even use it properly, and if someone even try to use that thing in pve he deserve to be kicked out of the group.

5) Playing other games

dota, the walking dead season 1-2 (man that game is AWESOME). heartstone and some other hundred games i have left unfinished on steam.
I’ll just pause gw2, and we’ll see, i may come back if they at least put rewards and change this so old meta.

Ugruk.4069:

So there is literally no point in playing the game until the new patch hits?

you could play for fun. weird idea i know shouldn’t have said anything. bry i’ll fight you in counter strike.

MMO’s need rewards, they are repetitive, yes even the pvp part is repetitive at some point, there need to be REWARDS to make more people play / try it, ESPECIALLY if the pvp community is small and the pvp itself is imbalanced/lame and all, hell if i only wanted to play for fun i would have gone playing dota or some other game that is actually in a good state even w/o vertical progression.

pvp balance patch, this meta is getting boring, also being able to see numbers % in enemy or allies hp bars + castbars would be an appreciated thing since in this ambit gw2 seems like an unfinished game.

i think they didn’t said anything about it, so i guess they don’t care

pve or pvp?
pve – 25-30-0-0-15 D/D or S/P
pvp – 10-30-0-0-30 D/P or S/P
both offhand SB
those are the actually meta build, aka best builds.

i’ll gladly take this nerf for any other random buff since you’re proposing to nerf to an useless mechanic lol.

1) d/p + sb
2) 10/30/0/0/30
3) sPvp

there is no point giving feedback in this game dude, they will keep skyhammer, for some reason.

you might try to stay inside a point and keeping it capped while the thief waste hours getting his hp back.

tbh i don’t think you have any chance unless you catch them off guard or they are bad, since d/p have steal with interrupt they can simply steal as soon as you’re in range making impossible to open on them and eventually making you waste your steal, then will proceed to blind and take the upper hand of the fight, wich usually means being 2-3 shotted if any of these hits is a backstab, sooo just change spec, d/d isn’t viable.

For food i suggest you the “invisible food”, a food that is so invisible you won’t even find it on TP, it only works for thiefs and increase the stealth duration by 700%, actually making a gw2 thief a simil rogue from WoW,combine that with the ability to stealth in combat et-voilà you got the perma invis build everyone talks about.

such a good item implemented in a really awful way, hope for fixes

The real disappoint is that is only a 1hr potion instead of a permanent thing and also not usable in dungeons/fractals, seriusly what is wrong with anet?
I just can’t understand why they hate their playerbase.

i think adding largo as race would be the only way i may stop doing all my characters humans because the other races just look too horrible, tengu included.

you ten people were trying to stack the blind of the thief or what?
this topic is absurd

DuranArgith.1354:

remove lyssa runes. problem solved

That’s the easiest way to bring more problems due to condispam being able to destroy low hp class with few condi removals (thief in 1st position)

yep i love too spamming pistol wip on clueless noobs that tanks the whole channeled for the 9+ k damage, too bad that unless you find someone with everything in cd pistol whip can be countered with: stunbreaker, stability, immunity skill (mesmer S/x #2 for example) and in the meanwhile the thief is stuck doing a non interruptable channeled, i agree that it does a lot of damage and also has a good aoe but the only escape mechanis of that set is the #2, plusi never had any issues with s/p thiefs, unless i had no cd/they bursted me with quickness, but hey that’s how gw2 works, any class can burst you in 2 seconds with an adeguate spec.

azizul.8469:

what’s wrong with spirit watch map ? i don’t see any problem with it..

but i do know that you need a lot of cc for that map…

you should try going banner build warrior in this map, no really try that it’s so funny as much as stupid.

The most hylarious part of this topic is that the real life logic of seeing an enemy after you block his attack is more used rather than a logic thinking about the game balance, well i guess that’s why MMOs balance suck so much, any class will scream nerf on others classes even with nonsense reasons while defendiing his class with all his strenght.
Gotta say that i’m a thief, and my opinion is:
is it a good mechanic? Not really
would it be balanced to apply revealed? No

most accurate post you can find

Short and fast question, can you guys link me a build for speedrun dungeon farming (cof/ac etc.) and a build for high level fractals?
I have a spare character to level at lv 80 with professions to make ascended armors on my main so i decided to make a warr

“Rally to me Ascalonian! "
and
“You are not real, you can’t be here!” during loading screen

ellesee.8297:

anyone else hate this temporary content feature as much as i do?

+1
i have the same situation of the op but with the other blue wings

in 1vs1 you probably won’t kill a banner warrior, it’s 30.8k hp with 10% dmg reduction (not kidding) with condi cleanse, block, mobility, stun and they even do some decent damage, try poisoning and bursting, but he will most likely cleanse the poison and start the tankfest.

d/p is the actual meta
s/d is decente too nut imho s/p is better
other builds can’t take it against other meta builds even tough s/p is pretty fun

Jumpy thief, a mix of random exotics, gem store, dungeon and cultural

that was a good idea from the moderator to move a complain topic about sylvary from whatever forum it was to the sylvary subforum, where indeed pretty much everyone like it.
Lol

You never tried cof then:

“hi”
…
…
ty guys,bb "

Beep boop Son, beep boop

this could both improve the population of every race home city and reduce lions arc huge loading time and lag.
Also i quote the fact that gw2 need some more UI personalization, even if that’s asking way too much in a game that doesen’t even show the hp% in numbers and have 0 utilities bar.
