I got the daily chest from playing crab toss today. However, I played crab toss 3 times today and my achievement “Crab Toss Regular” is stuck at 10/12 and not progressing.
I’ve been crashing a lot the last couple of days especially in Lion’s Arch where I usually would load in to the game and crash within a minute. I was also playing on medium and low graphic settings. I just tried the new client and haven’t crashed yet on high/highest settings and my load times seem to be a little bit faster as well. It could just be a coincidence, but hopefully it continues to perform well for me.
I bought about 40k bags this weekend and now I see why bags may have gone from 4 to 5 silver this weekend. (much more activity on this thread.) No mini but I did get a unopened endless bat tonic and the black amulet.
I assume it will be there during the Halloween event since mad king and witch outfit returned from year 1 to year 2 Halloween. (Executioner and blood prince added last year)
I have heard the map cap is about 70-75 players and you can do it with about 8-14 on each boss. Then just port to middle when your boss dies to prevent scaling (could send a few to a boss with many people dying). Even better if you can coordinate getting all bosses down to low health before killing them. If your lucky and get on a good organized map you can farm 80 tokens, 20 tickets, and 10 champ bags in about 10min repeatedly.
Quaggan is Tier 1, to get the achievement you need to do a Tier 3 boss with five gambits.
Ah totally forgot about that, I was just farming them for bags at the moment. I can do ooze similarly to the other warrior post with frenzy/endure pain/defiance stance combo. I go full zerker 6/6/0/0/2 though with greatsword and axe/mace (or sword). Signet of rage, GS #4, charge, hundred blade, whirlwind, then switch to axe/mace #5 stun, frenzy + endure pain, auto attack+ #2 skill, then defiant stance when endure pain is about to end. Mostly about doing enough dps before your invulnerabilities disappear and you die.
Try 5 gambits on the quaggan (all but squeamish). I used full zerker warrior 6/6/x/x/x where you can just put the other 2 points wherever. Take traits like piercing shot, vulnerability on crit, berserker’s power. I used rifle and use 2 and 5 when it’s up while moving in a circle. Can take fear and stomp for when you get into trouble. Make sure you are hitting the right quaggan (does not move at the very beginning)
Well, the intention of the April 15th patch was that you could not use a stacking weapon then switch to another weapon with a different sigil to have 3 active sigil. However, the work around was to put a stacking sigil on your underwater weapon. Then you can get 25 stacks underwater (or on land with land stacking weapon+stacking sigil on underwater weapon), then still have 3 active sigils on land. The change in the last patch was probably intentionally to fix the work around but has caused other problems.
You get one chest per rank up. Bonus chest gives you a second chest. You get 3 bonus chests if your server finishes 1st the week before. (2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd).
This is what I noticed about how portal works. As littleEP said earlier Red= South, Blue= Mid, Green= North platforms. However, there is some sort of cap limit to each platform and after it caps, you get sent to another empty one. Thus if a lot of people leave from say blue, blue platform will only have those that remain and any extra people from the other 2 after those caps. Thus best to split into 2 or 3 groups depending on the cap and # people going inside.
I seem to be experiencing the same problem that Thighum is. I am using an Elementalist and mist form helps up to a point, but then I’m randomly knocked back and interrupted without any warning.
I feel like I’m getting closer every time, but it would make things much less frustrating if I could skip the cut scene on retries. I enjoyed it once, but now…
I got it by doing BGR (killed B and G within 6min), next run RGB (killed Red within 6min), then 3rd run BGR (Got achievement after blue was killed). We tried alternating last night and more people got the achievement. Not sure if you have to stay in the map/not log for a cycle or maybe it’s somewhat random still.
Don’t think it’s bugged, Anet just set the damage threshold pretty high for loot. I sometimes do not get loot in a 2-3 person party. I usually get loot in a 4 to 5 person party.
yeah, we finished with all dolyaks up but thought it bugged. Group member, ayin, figured it out how to get it. After you complete 10 waves, go back to the top where you entered from, then walk towards the stairs again. It should pop then.
That happened to us in BG on the last attempt, but luckily we were still able to down him with 15 seconds to go.
I believe the abominations spawn by the laser and heads towards the turrets during the end of the burn phase. However, since we went right from burn to battery phase, the abominations turn and just killed the mega laser within a few seconds. Perhaps if you want to be safe, have one person stay by the megalasers to try to slow the abominations down.
4 shops in zone 1, the three listed above and one at the giant waterfall which is shown at 14:28 of this video. Go to that area and fire a bomb towards the waterfall.
Interestingly enough, I received credit on my first event in sparkfly fen after failing it. I then completed the event and attacked scarlet in lornar’s pass and fireheart rise and did not receive credit for either of those. :\
Rains of Castamere (Red Wedding) from Game of Thrones played on the horn with corresponding notes in description. This can also be played on the flute as well with the same notes.
@ Kobi and Aarean, any tips on how to shave off more time, do you just spam dash, leap, jump/dash combos? Do you for the most part stay on the main path, or would some of the “shortcuts” I took actually be the same/slower?
There is some skill involved when you play other players by keeping track of what skills they use and if their belch/healing skills are available to them. But you never know with the NPC and I have to agree that there is some luck involved especially against the norn (although I haven’t tried him post patch which made him easier).
And if you didn’t see they already did fix him a bit with the last patch: Adnul Irongut has calmed down, no longer insisting on critiquing at every possible moment.
Dang saw a screenshot on reddit of someone completing the course with 5:12 remaining (2:48). Might be able to make up some time using lightning leap and jump/dash combos more, but that is a lot of time I need to make up from my 5:01 remaining:x
Yeah, the key is at the beginning and picking up the blue shield bags and unlocking the “4” skill. Then using it and then the “2” skill while picking up more blue shield bags to get the “4” skill again. There is no need to rush out of the gate as sometimes when you are in the lead, you will not get the “4” skill unlocked but rather the “6” skill with the blue shield bags.
As of now people do not usually do this, so if you do it right, you will have a big lead before the first leap area. At this point make sure to pick up a blue shield bag to make sure you have “6” shield skill. If you do then pick up orange bags to lay fake crystals for people behind you with skill “5”. If you see purple swirly thing above your head or if you are not in the lead and someone placed a fake power up, use your shield to avoid damage.
There are a few areas that can gain you an advantage if someone is still close by, but hard to remember or describe without video. If there isn’t anyone too close to you, you can usually still win by messing up a few times.
Are you sure that you got 16 tokens from bags? Seeing how you get 3 tokens per bags, I would think that you got 20 from completing the dungeon and 6 from opening 2 bags.
You said that you took a 10 hour break, but did the daily reset in between your 2 runs? Otherwise you are supposed to only get 20 tokens from dungeon completion for your 2nd run before reset.
Edit: guess I missed what you were saying about finding extra tokens. But I think you counted wrong somewhere since opening bags can not net you 16 (3 per bag).
Is one of the items you are trying to transmute equipped? In a previous patch they made it so you cannot transmute equipped items. If so, just unequip it and then place it in the transmute window.
Same bug is happening when i try to use the “1” skill in the air attunement for a staff elementalist. Seems to work in some parts of the dungeon, but bugged in other parts.
