A group is recruiting 2 new members to join our progression through higher levels of Fractal of the Mists.Our current difficulty is 50.We are looking for experienced Guardian and a Glass canon to join our dungeon runs.Especially is needed one of the following classes as pure dps – elementalist,thief,mesmer or necro.You must have atleast 25AR if you want to come with us.We are doing one or two levels per night.
The runs are always in the evenings.
There isn’t a specific time set.
We start when everyone is online.
We are on Europe servers.The group is cross realm.
If you are interested post here or contact me on Moiraine.2753.You can whisper or send me mail.
So the bosses are somewhat of a challenge. If this did not exist, you could stun lock bosses/champs.
This only means that Anet are not able to programm a proper Boss’s mechanics.How can other MMOs can have interrupts but GW2 can’t?!?!I’m really interested to know.
If you want a high dmg dealer go for Thief or Ele they both are better from the warrior.
Here is why – GuanglaiKangui explains it perfectly
Remember when I told everyone to get over HB’s one big number, and everyone told me to stop making straw man arguments?
Well, the straw man is right here and he’s posting right now.
I finally got around to modeling thief, which gives me a full DPS tier list, and it looks like this:
Max buffed, from best to worst:
Mesmer (Sw/Sw with 3 phantasms) = ~15k
Thief (D/D backstab) = ~13.5k
Elementalist (fire staff or LH) = ~13k
Guardian (GS+Sword) = ~11k
Necromancer (D/F+WH with all minions) = ~11k
Warrior (Axe+GS) = ~10k
Ranger (Sword and Feline pet) = ~9.5k
Engineer (Grenades) = ~9k
Off the top of my head, anyway. As you can see, ,the difference between the top three and the rest is fairly severe (Ele sits at 13k, while Guardian and Necro are around 11k) but the rest are pretty close together. You can also tell that the top three have “special conditions” on achieving max DPS, as does Necromancer, so Guardian is actually the highest unconditional DPS you will get.
The point is that people were saying pretty much the exact same thing when Tequatl first launched. It was too hard, it was impossible…
Then people started figuring it out, and it became kitten near farm status. Now it’s changed, and we’re seeing the same complaining.
Get better. Learn what to do.
Or you can whine about it endlessly on the forums, I guess.
Thats entirely different..
when Teq was first updated there were new mechanics in play among other things so there was a learning curve..
It took a little time for people to get used to the new Teq battle in order for it to be beaten regularly
Now however all Teq has had is a Hp upgrade.. nothing else
there are no new mechanics or tactics to beating him so there is nothing new to learn
Everyone just has to play their part and frankly that is just a lot to expect from random players..
Everyone besides newbies should be familir with this content by now but thats not the case anymore..
every single kitten map is full of afkers who still haven’t learned that AFKing in GW2 gives NO rewards.. and yet they still do it every god kitten day..
people are still completely ignoraing Fingers and Hypnos mobs and focusing entirely on Champs that don’t even drop loot..
I can not strees enough how much I am sick and tired of explaining what to do only to have people just run around and do whatever they want then cry about how it always fails..
This HP upgrade was a very bad idea.. the Crit spot is utterly broken as well on EVERY!! boss that has one.. since it can only be hit by AoE and Melee.. so Range weapons are utterly useless on them massivly decreasing the possibly DPS that can be done.. and on top of that most bosses have AOE protecting that crit spot which makes Meleing them practically impossible.. or borderline suicide runs..
As far as Teq goes its more or less a guarantee that if you have 20ish people on the map that don’t know what they are doing or decide they will run around and just hit stuff or go AFK and let everyone else do the work its a guaranteed Failure..
Im not going to bother with Teq anymore personally since its far too much work for more often than not.. utter garbage rewards..
better off runing a dungeon path instead.. hell its faster and more rewarding and you don’t have to put up with people wasting your time and screwing your map over
Gonna lump myself in to those saying you can’t solo Teq. It is a group effort and things can/will go wrong. As I said in another thread pre-patch if things went wrong there was chance of recovery. A chance to figure out mid-fight what went wrong and what area of the map needs help and to come together to solve the problem. Now 1 mistake likely means a fail.
All the ‘hardcore’ people you’re the minority of the playerbase. If things stay the way they are you’re going to see mass numbers walking away from this fight and you’re not going to be able to complete it on your own. In fact you’ve NEVER completed it on your own. There has always been a mix of hardcore, casuals and every level in between at every single Teq fight working TOGETHER to make it happen for EVERYONE!
That’s what it’s about, the community coming and playing together.
I will disagree with yu a little.From 01.09.2013 to July 2014 only organised groups/guilds could kill him.Randoms did not stand a chance.The situation started to change little by little untill everyone was able to kill it.But still for more than half a year the casuals could not kill it because they didn’t want to put the effort and only whined for nerfs.
Now is the same deal.Only organised groups will be able to kill it for some time.I expect in a month casuals to have it on farm again.Less than that i doubt anything will be possible for them.Casuals always put less effort and take more time to learn things.Hard core population will have it on farm this weak already.
I’m going to keep this short as I have said it many times before: There are no issues with race changing. No issues with the personal story, no issues with cultural gear, no issues whatsoever.
Race change would only be allowed to characters with the following restrictions:
- They are 80.
- They have completed the personal story. Simplest solution to the story info screen is that race changing removes the race specific arcs.
- Any race specific gear is stripped from your character and account bound/soulbound on use (still race specific). You made a choice to race change, you take the loss.
There you go. Race change. Anet are just being lazy and people in this thread are unimaginative. Issues with the story, lol… How many that want to race change have even visited the story page in the last year?
Every MMO until GW2 has race change as an option.GW2 is the only MMO that doesn’t have it.Anet are just slacking.If they wanted they could do it…
Don’t know about that moiraine. I have a job and three kids and can dedicate maybe three hours a day on a game. I don’t like wasting the time on something that fails all the time now unless I am in your TxS guild or organizing 30-60 ahead of time. Hard to do when you are just running the boss train. It will ruin it for basically everyone except elitists just like TT is.
When Tequatl was 1st revamped the forums were filled with whining how hard it is.How it couldn’t be done.People wanted nerfs constantly.With time they learned how to do it properly.Give it time.People have to learn anew.
Also there is nothing wrong with some things not meant to be done by everyone.Also I don’t see how waiting15 minutes untill the boss after tequtl starts is a waste of time
From 24 bosses there are only 2 that are a bit more harder.Deal with it.Casuals like you have 22 bosses all for themselves.
im 41 years old… Alot of you grew up with Ultima Online etc… It just shocks me how you have the best MMO out there….. hands down – and not only that.. you have the DEV’s actually listening to us…
Don’t give me crap about how when you feel it’s warranted…
Yes they want to hear what we think… But the majority of the norm seems to be how people are kittening….
Go pay for a game I say…. There’s tons out there…
Whatever anyone says.. This is….. The next generation MMO that others will base their game upon… Others are doing it now….
I don’t care if you kitten….
Just give these people a reason to continue to do what they do best….
And that is nothing more than a thank you and your reason why…..
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Am I a fanboi??? I guess am….
Because I haven’t ever seen a company do what they do with a MMO….
And NEITHER HAVE ANY OF YOU!!!
Sheesh people… kitten at me if you want…. But Anet deserves our thanks more than our kittenes for what they have done for the MMO industry….
We have waited how many years for this game to come out?
And don’t give me that crap about how ‘you complain’ so thakittens better….
I understand constructive criticism.
C’mon guys…..
They deserve better than this…. And you know they read this stuff.
For real…. You peops sometimes amaze me. With all the negativity it would be hard pressed for me to stay positive if I worked for Anet. So ungrateful with more negative to say than positive.
flame on
I agree with you on 100%
Anet really are doing great job and i’m really thankful at what they are doing.
Since everyone’s just going on and on about wiping, resetting, back to 0, you lose all your items, you’ll still have your AP, why don’t we just all ask for a level 80 tome from the gem store? That’s basically it anyways.
I won’t mind at all Blizzard are adding such boost in WoW.
In GW2 we already have boost to lvl20 and also books from PvP.So nothing new will come.
I was re-reading the whole thread and decided to make compilation.Some of the ideas were really good and well thought.
Accept/reject incoming members
View party member info before joining – Class/level/Name/Server
Differentiate Story & Explorable Mode – right now there is only 1 tab for both modes which is not the best solution.There must be 2 tabs for each mode
Different Tab for each explorable path
Split 20-39 fractal tiers in 2 categories(20-29/30-39)
The current categories could have numbers indicating how many advertisements are currently active. Right now we have to click on each dungeon to see if there are any parties
Been able to see listings even when in a full party .Don’t make them grey out.
Been able to see listings on a lower level alt
Give the option to reveal all of the LFG listings in one tab
Adding icons indicating what kind of group is being formed.
Speed Run – get in, get out!
Experienced Only – No newbies. Experienced players only
Newbie – I am new to this event, please be nice!
Doing everything – Why skip content when it is there.
Language Preference – Please post your language preference in the comments.
I’m a casual player. I have noticed that this game is evolving in a way that is making it harder for casuals to complete content. Too bad. Why is that?
Heck, I would buy an expansion that offers proper instanced raid system for megabosses. If all Anet is worried about is the money.
Cause it seems like the non-expansion features/LS isn’t really cutting it, neither for them not for us.
Yes and Yes.I won’t mind at all if it’s a part of the expansion.I just want to have full controll over my map where are the 150 people being ported to.No strangers stalking the raid.
I have one story for you. The whole party wiped at Jade Maw, except one person with one crystal. Then the whole party was revived repeatedly until more crystals were farmed and it was defeated.
Your elitist groups would simply disband at the horrific inefficiency of all that. Our group faced the challenge and prevailed. That’s what made it all the more enjoyable.
Yeah, I have no sympathy for your likes :/
Do you even understand that i’m NOT bothered with the casuals?But of the lack of reading comprehansion.
I make a post which is looking for something specific like berzerker for instance.This means i don’t freeking want PVT players because i already have such in my group and i don’t need 2nd one.
Or in my post is written lvl38 fractal 40AR is needed.And if i get someone with less AR how exactly is this Elitist behaviour from my side when i kick him???
If i kick someone it’s their fault for not reading my post.It’s a common knowledge.
The ’’Teqila’’ is a good boss there is no doubt about that.There is only one mistake with it.It either needs a lvl80 cap so he doesn’t scale up or to be put in a instance where the enviroment is perfectly controlled.
This fight needs good organising which can not happen in the open world.There is to much randomness thrown.
This game is not for me anymore.RIght now this is what is happening:
Lets start with WvW that has been forgotten.
3 new tags?Yea that is something that has been asked from the beggining and Anet makes it 2 years later.And the whole work was just to re-colour the old tag.That is what 2 weeks work max?
What about new map?It takes them 9 months to design one so they decided to not make one at all?‘’Great job’’!!!
*In PvP instead of adding new maps they are deleting old maps.They neither are revamping the Mach making system nor are adding new PvP modes.
In dungeons there is lack of everything.The only things that they did in there were adding fractals,revamping them once,adding one new TA path and revamping AC.That is the only things they did for what 2 years?Instead of removing the TA path redesign the last boss how hard is that?Only he was buggy.I’m a dungeon lover but GW2 just made me hate the dungeons.Some of the boss attacks are awfully telegraphed.The dificulty of the dungeons is 0.Even Arah and FotM are not that hard anymore.
When i compare the Worm and Tequatl 80man fights to Wildstar 40 man raids.Well gw2 is falling behind a lot as far the difficulty is concerned.Both games are action o orriented.
What about SAB?Let it RIP in peace said Anet.
Why GW1 had harder dungeons and GW2 is just……
Why GW1 had better PvP scene and Anet made a 180 degree turn?They destroyed everything.How can from 300k viewers in gw1 the game falls to 2k in gw2?
Right now gw1 pvp and pve parts are a lot harder than gw2.
WvW/PvP/Dungeons/Open world Boses(like Worm and Tequatl) everything has been neglected for the LS.Yes i can agree that Anet did a great job with it and the events like Mad king.But that’s to little when the rest of the game has been forgotten.The hard core of the population has been forgotten.
In the beginign GW2 in 2012 was great.I played it a lot.But now i’m leaving it for some MMO.The updates to the game are just not good anymore.If some friend asks me now is it worth it?I’d say no.It’s not good enough.MMOs must have more then 500 hours longivity.And GW2 lost that thing.
Who knows, they’ve been demonstrating the new PvP arena again, 6 months after it not being released. WvW is stalled into the same boring matchups for months, EOTM doesn’t help either being out of the rotation. The best guilds are leaving the game. This game needs a serious injection of content, not a new trick or Golem mastery (when people already have all the points to fill it up to max and then more)
The last thing it needs is more broken class balancing, like making Tornado useless again and pretending it’s a good thing.
Basically it looks like 80% of their effort goes toward the design of Gem store skins, the remaining 19% into the living story dialogues and 1% into WvW.
For those not comprehending race change in the traditional sense, there is another way too:
Character item transfer
Just one simple restriction:
- Both characters are the same class
You select Character A (original) and Character B (your “race change” character). Everything on Character B is deleted – bags, items, trinkets, the works. Every item on Character A is transfered to Character B as an exact duplicate (complete with souldbound), exception being race specific gear which is left in the inventory, accountbound/soulbound on use. Character A is deleted after the transaction and Character B get renamed to what Character A had.
Basicly, you’re transmuting your character.
And there you have it. Another incredibly simple solution to changing your race. It doesnt even affect the story – Character B has his own story which may or may not be completed.

Every community has it’s bad apples.You can’t get rid of them.What i don’t like is people’s whining without actually giving any feedback.People whine about something but they don’t say how to fix that thing or why it should be removed:((
The most important thing the party owner had to go.It was such bad concept to begin with.Now Anet just have to find a way to remove the griefing somehow that will replace it.
Not true at all. Tequatl is murdered everyday in Blackgate.
As I suggested in the past a million times. This content should have been a 40 man instance! And leave an easier version on Sparkfly Fen for the masses.
That way, you won’t have to rely on a timer as a failure condition, witch means that more builds will be supported, and means that People who really want to beat him can more easily work together without “standing stillers”, and the access would be instant instead of waiting in an area for an hour.
My solution is already implementing it self, as the few people-teams who can take him down are escaping in Overflows to avoid the masses…
So much this.When good guilds escape the masses and go in the overflows to kill Tequatl that is not different from a raid instance.
Nonono and no.I’m absolutely agains such idea.The current LFG is working just fine.We don’t need automated LFD like WoW’s.I will tell you why.
GW2 doesn’t have tank and healer roles so it is quite easy to find and join groups listed in the LFG.
Also by listing the existing LFG you may start using other channels which normally you are not using.
With dungeon finder system in place i would not be able to write exactly what i’m looking for.It will randomly match me with players.I want to have more control over the group i’m creating.Also i want to know exactly what kind of group i’m joining.Which automated LFD will not let me.
“Hard mode” should not merely mean a huge health pool, that’s just terrible design easily overcome with numbers. This whole fiasco shows how open world encounters are not and never going to be “challenging group content” based on the simple fact that the developers won’t be able to balance it to account for the differences in the composition of the blob trying to complete the encounter.
There are a few roles at tequatl or triple trouble that have to be “spot on” and fulfill their purpose (turrets, defenders, condis at TT for example). The rest of the zerg is basically a bunch of dps bots.
The fights are balanced around these mechanics, and notice how few people we need to actually succeed… It’s the illusion of massive encounters, boiling down to 10-20 key people.
Tequatl and TT must have been instanced content.That way could have been created actual hard mode.
I’m having issues with inventory space.I have already unlocked 8 slots but that is not enough.When i do Speed clear dungeons or farming in Orr/SW/DT/Eotm i don’t want constantly to sell at TP.I already salvage more than enough thanks.I don’t mind going to a vendor eveyr 3 hours but more often than that is just pain in the kitten .Anet has to do a few things to improve the bag space:
Increase the current bag’s space to 25-30 slots.
Increase the Bag slots from 8 to 12.
Improve how you sort things in bags.Items to go into their specific bag without worrying where that bag will stay up in the top or down in the bottom slot.
Combine exotic and ascended bags.When i change weapon i don’t want my ascended one to go in a blue one.It has to go exactly into exotic/ascended bag NOT somewhere else.
Don’t know Raptr,
don’t know xfire,
but game’s going down,
that much, I know.
But you have no evidence at all for it. Anyone can say things and provide no evidence. It’s quite easy.
I have evidence.I’m not playing from a week,my RL friends are not playing from even longer,my in game friends are not playing from months.I’m not considering to return at all if the gme keeps going in the direction that Anet currently wants.I can bet that a lot of people are in the same situation as me.
I only look at the forums forumsto see has something been changed.Noone that i know of is not even logging anymore to get the free LS updates.
Many of us wouldn’t play WoW for free. I might not even play WoW if they paid me.
Stop talking for the whole playerbase.‘’Many of us?’’ You are NOT me and definitely NOT my friends.I like to play different MMOs including P2P ones if they are good.I like WoW and Wildstar.So what if one of them is an old MMO and the two of them are P2P MMOs?That doesn’t matter.Playing more than 1 MMO is never a problem.Different MMOs bring different things to the ’’table’’.
TxS (EU) and TTS (NA) really need either a proper raid instances or a way to spawn the bosses easier.Why?I will tell why.
I’m from TxS and we don’t have nor the influence neither the merits to buy the consumable to spawn Tequatl,Worm or Karka.
When we try to gather all our 120+ people in the same mega server map we need a lot of tries to succeed and find an empty map.
In my opinion we need atleast 15 daily achievements.Five for each category PvE/PvP/WvW but they all still count for one daily.I really like that i don’t have to do more than 1 daily anymore.
Also why only 2 monthlies?Make them atleast 3 com’n…
I was looking this over tonight… I see 35 laurels a month.. previous months I could get 38 to 41 a month depending on how many days per month there is.. So I already see a decrease there.That is not counting holiday events that happens a couple times a year..You can more those months as always. Now as for working on my new character now I have to break away from that to do the daily.. Hence lvl 20 character..And since I have a 80 lvl account guess what I have to go on that account to do the daily and not work on my level 20… Something is not clicking right here so just because I have a lower account means i can not work on it because of this new policy if I want to do my daily..Basically it has been forced on us to do this.. For some people the new system might work but I see some flaws in it already… I am holding some serious judgement on the whole new system to see what they do to change it.. Companies do not change things for the players benefit 90% of the time..
There are 13 28-day cycles in a year, and only 12 months per year. You can’t compare the cycles 1to1.
Only one month out of the year has 28 days for the complete month and that is February…
The new system resets every 28 completions. If you are logging in every day, it will reset 13 times in one year, not 12.
new system 13 x35 =455 old system 365 for 365 days and 12 months 10 laurels per month equals 120 .. 365+120 =485…. kitten smart phones o.O
Wrong,wrong,wrong and wrong.Your math is absolutely wrong.Why are you excluding the last reward of 20 laureals at the end of a cycle?Per month you receive 55 laureals and not 35 as you claim.Get your facts straight.
So 13*55=715
Also read what Gobble D Goop.4081[b/] and [b]IndigoSundown.5419 wrote.They explain perfectly everything.You should stop talking about things that you don’t understand and still don’t comprehend.
Sorry to here your problem DreamWind but you should have been prepared.From the launch of GW2 it was known server transfers are free only because guesting had problems.
2nd Anet gave us two weeks to prepare and establish on a home server before server transfers become payed.
I think that you should have done some researching before even thinking to transfer.It was clearly known that server transfers won’t be free for ever.
Path F/U is being removed?Really?If it’s true i’m not happy at all.
Why a whole path is being removed when only the last boss is buggy?The path as whole is good.Not too hard not to easy.
If Anet just made last boss to reset on a wipe and the path will be fixed.No more endless spider waves spawning.
I don’t agree with removing a whole path only because last boss is not made good.
After reading the posts on this forum, I have come to an interesting conclusion: What people really want is not better teams, but better READERS. Think about some of the comments: I get better teams from gw2lfg.com. Why should it make a difference really? Because browsing the teams forces you to take the time to read the description and find groups that fit. In other words, the lfg tool needs to be able to force players to slow down and take their time with reading descriptions. I get the elitist hate on this forum, I feel similarly however a zerker run should fairly allow zerkers to search for like-minded people.
Instead of hating on them, we need to make this tool more powerful in forcing people to read. I think a validation option needs to be added to the tool where people who want to be selective can prevent joins until party members validate the individual. Or else there needs to be some aspect to the tool that at the very least forces people to slow down and take time to read through the team postings in game so they join the right group for them. I believe this can be done, it just requires some creative thinking in how the tool is used, mainly a brainstorm session perhaps? C’mon posters, lets focus on helping them figure out where this tool needs to go. No complaints, lets offer ideas.
Also I wanted to thank ArenaNet for declaring this tool as beta. It obviously needed foresight and I like they take the time to make the tools work right for the game and not just an overly convenient pickup and join tool.
Hundred times this^^
How hard is to read what is written in the post?
I want some specific class.I want class A not class B or C.
I want speed run which means i don’t won’t PVT gear or inexperienced players.
I want 45AR which means everyone under that is excluded.
People should start reading what is written so i can take a break from kicking them.Only because a post is made this doesn’t mean everyone is invited in the bloody group.There are set specific requirements which has to be preserved.People should stop joining on a whim every LFG post that is up.
Read first then join.It’s actually THAT simple…
Yesterday my group was doing TA all paths,but one of the members couldn’t stay to the end so we were with 1 less for F/U.I specifically wrote in the post ‘’GLF1M brezerker for path F/U’‘.And what did i received?First one who joined has never done before TA and was with 66AP.He couldn’t be more newbie.Second one who joined was a guard who didn’t even know what we were doing until we went to the path.
Come on WTF is this?!?!?I wrote everything in my post.Read then join.Don’t do the opposite…
You know…it’s often true that really smart, academic, creative and intelligent people lack common sense. This is what I believe is happening at Anet. Why oh WHY are they wasting time rearranging things that no one ever complained about – for the worst I might add – while NOT addressing what people really want?
You are absolutely wrong that noone complained.There is a specific group of people that were not happy about the old achievement daily and that were the AP hunters.They considered it to be hell of a farm.Before they had to do 10/10 for full reward.Now it has to be done only 3 dailies for full 10 AP reward.So Anet actually did something right.
I don’t think Anet knows what is a nerf.Right now i feel more OP than ever in dungeons.
