What happens to the unlucky ones?

this is just the beginning, first the whiners (whether they are unlucky, lazy or anti-pve) cry about no easy way to get precursor, now ANet will change that. Then the mats price gone up and they are at it again. It’s a continuous cycle, once Anet cave in to their demand, it will never stop, because they know they can keep whine and kitten til they get their wishes.

The “need everything now moar moar” attitude is going to cause Anet to make Legendaries freebies for passing your second month eventually, very unfortunate. (Dont have a legendary and dont aspire one currently, but I like how they are expensive enough to retain the status symbol effect they should have).

no kidding. Now the mats price have gone up, the whiners who got their wish with Anet promise easier way to get precursors are at it again. These whiners just will not quit until the welfare legendaries are given out by Anet with no minimum efforts required.

Except that legendary items just became practically unobtainable, with vials of powerful blood skyrocketing to 27 silver, along with other items needed for crafting a legendary its basically impossible for even semi hardcore players like myself to craft one. Especially when theres 50 other people farming plinx, and I cant even tag anything.

exactly, I’ve stated in another thread about the whiners who cry about legendary precursor, be careful what they wish for. Now Anet gave in to the whiners with some possible tweaks to open more ways to get the precursor, and mats price goes up. Now people are complaining about that? I guess the whiners will not stop until Anet gives out welfare legendaries that practically requires no effort to obtain.

Auto Upgrade to Ascended

ah thanks for clarifying. so when a higher tier is introduced, legendaries are bumped up to match the BIS…

and i see now that it’s not a stat thing, but a time sink. ascended is meant to be a gap filler between exotic and legendary in terms of time spent. the increased stats are a byproduct then. which to me doesn’t make sense if gw2 wasn’t meant to have a gear grind/power creep.

exactly, that’s why many people are upset. I understand there’s a huge PvE crowd playing the game and wants some ways to “progress” in game, but there are many that switched to this game with the idea that gear grind will not be part of the game design.

I am mesmer, fix Phantasmal Berserker

It’s not ok to justify using a bug to compensate for lack of other skills/abilities. They should fix it, and give something useful in return, that can be used to similar effect (aoe of some sort).

And i think the overall power of this ability is exaggerated a bit, it’s more of an annoyance then anything else. You shouldn’t die to it.

Biggest problem really is that yes I can hit someone one a wall. In WvW. Which is toooootally going to bring that keep down to it’s knees. :P

It’s not you. The problem isn’t one Mesmer. The problem is WvW groups with several, that can nuke siege without LoS, kill defenders without effort. Anyone who thinks this isn’t a problem is missing the point.

I play a Mesmer; iBerserker needs to be changed to have LoS.

Differences like this only encourage class stacking in large-scale fights.

while you are at it, can you start a thread with nerfing elementalists and rangers AOE attacks as well? If your argument is about class stacking in large-scale fights, dont isolate Mesmer as the only problem.

I still prefer full set with rune of divinity… I guess I always find it hard to trust on % to proc, maybe if it’s 30% it would be better.

As much as I love trolling people with this skill, I also don’t like being the target of it. This skill is broken. Completely. There are numerous complaints about it and for valid reason.

Ever been in WvW inside a tower under siege? If enemy sees you once and manages to target you (lock onto you), he can spam this skill constantly on you without any line of sight. There’s no where you can escape.

If you’re in an organized party you can do this together.. pick one player and spam him with Berserkers. The target will spend the rest of his miserable days healing and chasing berserkers and won’t be able to use any siege weapons. Because if he uses any siege weapons he’s not fighting off Berserkers.

I have no doubt this skill will be fixed by Easter judging by current fix/balance rate, so I’m creating another thread on this issue very early to make enough time for the fix.

hi,

please show me how you can “spam” berserkers, even with the 20% GS reduction on cooldown, I am curious how you can do it…

If multiple Mesmers target you and activate berserkers on you, it’s not spamming, it’s call coordination… Meaning they want you dead. Ever PvP with someone set target on an enemy to blow some damaging cooldown skills?

I could tell this was going to be another “ZOMG Backstab!11” thread just from reading the title.

But to answer the question. In order to counter the damage you need to dodge as soon as the Thief enters 900 range. Better is if you can catch him first and force him into defence.

If you don’t see him coming……well…it’s only another 3 more days until the nerf.

yep, cant wait for the nerf bat to hit…

November 15th Massive Update: Precursors Addressed?

Posted by: rich.3417

Solution: Anet should just offer another upgrade option, the “legendary” edition. Once purchased, you have the choice to do a) jumping puzzle that takes days of practice to complete (OMG I GOT MAD SKILL IN HAND/EYE COORDINATION), b) do tough dungeon with no gears (YES, I AM THAT GOOD IN MY PVE SKILLS) or c) do a 1 vs 1 PvP style with a developer (IF I BEAT A DEVELOPER I MUST BE SKILLED). If any of the options is done successfully, you get a legendary, guaranteed.

The cost of the game upgrade is solely based on the current market value of the precursor of your chosen legendary choice, translated into real $ values.

Additional legendary weapons.

given the amount of complains from people that dont have legendaries and crying about the RNG sytem, I think Anet will eventually cave in and start to offer “welfare legendaries,” like guarantee you will receive just by doing x, y and z.

Not to be rude…but you all need to stop conducting the complain train.

To rant, legendary precursors are SUPPOSED to be incredibly difficult to obtain

They aren’t. Grinding 300 gold is not “difficult” in any sense of the word. Tedious, yes. Difficult, not in the slightest.

That’s the problem that everyone that repeats this same tired line is blatantly ignoring.

Tedium != difficulty.

well said, agree 100%. The fact that the precursor is not BOP, can be bought on trading post and people still complain it’s way too hard to obtain is laughable. Just because the complainers dont have time to farm or choose to rather do something else is not the fault of the system.

lol, trading in tokens for precursor means ANet turning into Blizzard, easy mode for everyone that wants an epic gets one.

after 12 tries, I am able to get my Twilight precursor. Do I wish that I could’ve gotten it on first try? Of course I do. But do I think the system is broken? Not at all.

Yak's Bend is recruiting Oceanic/ Asia players

as a recent transfer that’s been on the Yak’s Bend server for a short while, I can say the server has a good community, especially on the WvWvW side. Most of the commanders are pretty good, and people are always actively running around helping in anyway they can.

I left my previous server due to lack of leadership and organization in WvWvW, I am pretty happy I made the choice to move here. I look forward to make this server my permanent home, through the good and the bad.

thanks for the reply, Yamirashi.

I usually play 4 to 5 nights a week (EST time), about 20 to 25 hours. Is that active enough? I am just looking for a guild that’s active in WvWvW, and friendly to new players to the guild wars universe (I haven’t done much with PvE dungeons at all in this game).

I have two characters, level 80 Engineer and level 80 Mesmer.
