Guild Wars 2

If sylvari were dragon minions, that would mean Mordremoth was the first dragon to wake up, during gw1 even as we saw the sprout of the pale tree, so I very much doubt sylvari are dragon minions

Also I don’t understand the hate with Trahearne, compared to the rest of the story, he’s really not bad at all

Trahearne is still cooler than Logan Thackary, and most human npcs

You mean the account bound minis? including the mr. sparkles? I have no clue, but google has also failed me.

Majuub.6215:

Was so excited to read that Zodiac weps were making a come back, even if I would have had to deal with kitten RNG or grinding lvl 10 quest for weeks. Then I logged in. As a GW1 vet, I love the look of most of the Zodiac weps, from GW1. The new styles to them for GW2 aren’t bad per se, but they hardly resemble the original set at all. It’s is fairly disrespectful to the artwork and design of the original weapons. Every update there is false excitement leading to major disappointment.

I just want to quote you, because you are absolutly right and I feel people should read this

You have to do the vorpps living story to get back into the pavilion

@dagrdagaz, I think we were aware of that, or I thought it was a simple connection at least, not the right time though.

@The Meat Wagon, Yeah, I do have to agree I’m sick of black lion chest stuff, but it could be worse, could be straight rng nightmare boxes like Sclerite stuff was.

I really have to question why they named them zodiac weapons. those were really cool skins in GW1, I still like gw2’s zodiac weapons, not as much mind you, but I think they’re nice, but it concerns me that we might start getting new weapon sets with gw1 names, that just can’t live up to gw1 standards.

what are you complaining about, he showed you it can still be easily farmed on a necro,

I’m complaining about simply fighting Deadeye, not farming him. You’ve basically got a boss with one-shot mechanics, that teleports across the room, and if you don’t get to him in time, you die. I’d say invulnerability skills give you a vast advantage at such an encounter, clearly. It was clearly designed with that sort of strategy in mind.

A Massive Headache.1879:

and the camera issue can be fixed if you learn where to keep your camera at the start, so again, that’s an issue with your playing

If you learn where to keep your camera at the start? What does that sentence even mean?

The game automatically sets your camera to a preset angle at you enter the dome. You don’t have any control over where it starts. And there’s at least one dome that consistently sets your camera in a position where you can’t see the boss.

GuardianOMS.8067:

I love when Mad Queen Malafide is in a thread!

I love being in threads too.

That camera bit simply isn’t true, I enter the arena with different camera angles all the time, and it’s not invulnerability you want for deadeye, it’s blind and stuns, which every profession has. seriously, it’s not a problem with deadeye, it’s a problem with personal skill level.

Razor.9872:

It sounds like you guys have no willpower to control your own actions. Just go do something else for the fun of it. Imagine that: FUN…in a game! Ha!

A lot of us are having fun, if you look around the forums, this thread was made by a guy who after he discovered deadeye wasn’t fully nerfed, asked for builds to continue farming; however, I guess he didn’t have a guardian or thief, so he now talks about farming ragemaw(the tier 2 charr guy if i have the name wrong)

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

Broadicea.8294:

That’s my video. And it demonstrates that all of the problems you cited for necro are L2P issues, not deficiencies in the class. The class has deficiencies, but none of them impact the Deadeye farm.

Which shows that you haven’t actually read what I said in my post. Dead Eye is extremely easy to beat with classes that have access to invulnerability, and much harder for classes like the necromancer, that do not have access to any invulnerability.

I was commenting on the difference in difficulty between the classes. I did not say it was impossible on a necromancer. And I was also pointing out the rubbish targeting (Which remains rubbish since release), and the insta kills (on which many players have already commented).

Part of the camera issues had nothing to do with my build, but due to some of the domes spawning the player with an inconvenient camera angle (as other posters pointed out), and with spawning issues combined with lag. There is a separate topic on this very issue, in which people get insta-killed by Deadeye before they can do anything at all.

Now you posted that video blindly to every remark I made, without actually reading the points. Would you mind explaining how your video addresses target-closest? Because it is most definitely broken. Unless you can some how magically show otherwise.

what are you complaining about, he showed you it can still be easily farmed on a necro, and the camera issue can be fixed if you learn where to keep your camera at the start, so again, that’s an issue with your playing

My first victory against liadri was as an engineer. I used knights gear, no real reason why, it’s just all I had, and hgh grenades build 30/10/0/30/0, pistol shield, although I’m sure bombs work too, I just found being able to throw aoe to the sides and behind me very useful

Let’s not forget, tamable rock dogs that become warbeasts when we die. Npcs and enemies in this game don’t use professions like we do.

The average player has only made 3g during the entire event so far. And that is only counting those who made more than 1g.

The number of people farming this is very very small because the number of people skilled enough to do so is very very small.

Wow…I must be some kind of super skilled stud.

Not. I’m pretty average.

I’m above average in all aspects of Tyria and in life. I am what most dream to be…but fear to become.

I’m above average in Tyria; however, I accidentally went out of bounds in real life and now I’m stuck, the universe has a one way clipping issue

OH I didn’t realize that was scarlet, cool.

Wait, when did we find out scarlet is a sylvari?

Yeah, and the snowflake exploit wasn’t an exploit either.

Don’t forget the karma weapons exploit that totally wasn’t an exploit. It was totally the devs’ fault for putting it in the game like that! Those who took advantage were totally just playing it as the devs implemented! (yeah right)

The low price of karma weapons at that time was clearly an oversight. I’m yet to see any indication that the developers have made some mistake here despite having patched the gauntlet twice.

Exactly.

If it was truly an exploit, why would the solution to the exploit be to make the exploit harder? That would make absolutely no sense at all.

Well the thing with the cultural weapons exploit was the karma needed for the items was off by a factor of 10 or 100, I don’t recall. Though that and the snowflake thing were also just “menu bosses” which kind of a different thing from actual playing of the game.

this title is a taunt at the devs. “thieves are laughing at your unsuccessful nerf” essentially…

actually most classes can still farm him if you bothered reading any of the other identical threads posted about this

and that’s what a birthday refers to, the year occurance of aging.

Fair enough, Balian and Rainu, huh.

Why does quality assurance make so little by comparison?

I’m so confused… at first I thought this was a satirical thread, then I thought the third post was the same as the original poster and now idk what’s going on.

Firebaall, Idk what your obsession is with trash pick up is, but that’s a necessity in many countries, programming for a video game is not. That’s how a couple of my friends were able to afford college. and you’re going on about how farmable the gauntlets are? what about how bug plagued they are.

I enjoy fighting deadeye, well all of the gauntlets were a lot of fun.

What she should reveal is that the Tengu have opened their borders and now we can all play as them.

And then we can all quickly complain about how bad armor looks on them. Totally looking forward to it.

What?

Shiren.9532:

Akechi Hotaru.7129:

That would involve a new zone. And we’ve been told no new zones this year.

Maybe it could be that relations with Tengu are improving leading to the eventual dominion of winds; as unlikely as that is

At launch I was kind of afraid this would happen when I was thinking 5 character slots wasn’t enough, this thing with birthdays was exactly brought up, this was on guru. I think I’ll use Queen Jennah from time to time, I just hate that the deposit all function deposits minis as well, but I can’t complain, a 24 hour booster could be nice and the scroll will help me farm silver doubloons or level up alts if they add new playable races, I mean this very much could be a worse situation

Yeah, because why does money matter? why is showing off so important, if you’re not having fun, you’re not doing it right. That kind of mentality is kind of dumb. but I will say i was messing around with runes of the flock, with 4 of them the bird that is summoned blind and it’s once every 10 seconds, I wasn’t trying with gambits cuz runes of the flock, but I wonder if there’s any potential with those runes, even though it is a gamble

Begs for nerf, asks to keep farming it. I don’t think guild wars 2 is the game for you bhagwad

Akechi Hotaru.7129:

I would love that

She needs to reveal the new profession: sandwichmancer

Crap. Deadeye was probably my best (maybe even only shot) at getting the gambit achievements. Yet another example of ArenaNet’s exploit early and exploit often philosophy. Thanks for ruining things for those who haven’t gotten that far yet farmers!

except this wasn’t an exploit, there were no rules being broken.

This was certainly an exploit. An exploit is taking advantage of a bug or loophole and playing the game in a way that was not intended by the developers. Obviously, it was never intended for players to be making hundreds of gold by farming Deadeye. This farming very much had the potential to significantly impact our in-game economy. If it wasn’t considered an exploit, Deadeye would never have been changed.

Good rule of thumb when it comes to identifying exploits…if it is too good to be true, it most certainly is.

So the cursed shore farms, the other orr area, drakkar waypoint farm were all exploits that no one got in trouble for? And no one got in trouble for those farms, because no rules were broken, they were just taking advantage of events, I disagree and don’t consider it an exploit, especially when it can still be farmed

Edit: and I think there would be a lot of outrage if people were punished for farming, especially when there have been devs who have joined in on some farms and said “well, it’s part of the game, right?”

Fungalfoot.7213:

A Massive Headache.1879:

While not an exploit in that sense people did exploit the fight for easy gains.

And then some of those people asked for the fight to get nerfed once they were satisfied with how much dosh they had made. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an MMO community as messed up as this one to be honest. The gold obsession is just ridiculous.

Then I guess you’re not going to be happy that it can still be farmed with ease?

I’m a guardian and I can now live from his killshots so idk what to tell you, even with frailty

Oh yes, Guardians most certainly can still farm him with 4 gambits

Anet is good with political stuff to drive players to compete, see kurzicks and luxons, they just shouldn’t have tied a fractal to it. That was just a little to far. However, Ellen Kiel was a better choice for future living story lines involving lions arch. I would welcome Evon plans for living story lines. But regarding the fractal, I was more leaning towards the reactor, sorry the other one didn’t make it in, but calling attention to wanting it is all we can do to get it.

bhagwad, you’re blaming arena net for your lack of self control, that’s why the analogy was so great, it just went over your head.

timgod.9456:

The thing is…I can eat 12 more meals at McDonalds in the time I could cook my own food with a perfect pantry (which rarely happens). As a result I have done nothing but eat McDonalds for the past 2 days (before that Wendy’s) since I feel I’m wasting my time eating anything else. Plus for this I just need to depend on myself without having to wait for ovens to pre-heat, water to boil etc.

McDonalds is trivializing all other food in the world. It’s fairly obvious why I’m fat and something needs to be done about it. I started yesterday at 151 lbs. Now I am 230, which is pretty obscene any which way you consider it.

You deserve an award for. that is great

there is good news if you’re working for a juggernaut and have a few extra characters that are just low levels that you don’t need. park them at a jumping puzzle in LA and hope for silver doubloons, unless jumping puzzle chests are account bound, in which case, my joke doesn’t work

That alone wouldn’t work, unless it’s enough to where he teleports 2-3 more times, in which case, he’d be pretty kitten hard to kill for non farming professions.

Dagraan.2854:

you remember when people find content to bring them together to make money? cough farms *cough*cough* then a-net destroys it?
so people become elitists and run quick dungeon paths with zerk builds that would be horrible anywhere else.
and the group is labeled bad players if there even 30 seconds behind.

a-net has stopped the notion of working together, when they destroyed farms because they want you to buy gems.
something changed after the christmas event and it wasn’t good.

That didn’t bring everyone together, there were always people moaning that content was being blocked by farming. And then people would become hostile, which is kind of another problem.
But overall, anet’s not that great at bringing everyone together, see gw1 luxons and kurzicks. some people took that way to seriously.

You’re right Celestina, I had completely forgotten about that.
Also, I wonder how ogden is with a hammer now.

oh man, this thread is awesome. Speaking of Mhenlo and Cynn, they have to have a descendant. right? Really I would love to fight descendants of GW1 heroes. Oh and let’s not forget Moa’vu’Kaal, Kanaxia, one of the Ossa, a or a few minion(s) of Palawa Joko(who I’m surprised there’s not mention of him in fields of ruin anywhere)

HOLY COW. this combined with help from a friend I got this done and boy what a rush. Wow, learning when to use leap of faith was big, and when I got her hit with the 8th orb I used the symbol and switched to staff so fast so i could keep my distance. I actually ran 0/0/30/20/20 for the balance of retaliation and surviving and got away with the 30% endurance regen food. Good luck to everyone who wishes to attempt this.

All I really read in this thread was about the quaggan. it kind of makes sense for quaggan to not be in wvw, hopefully they relocate to a more peaceful region of the mists. but that does kind of lean in the direction of removing underwater combat from wvw, and I honestly still think it’s a baseless rumer as I’ve never seen a source for the information when it’s mentioned in game to me. I never saw a problem with underwater combat, it just kind of seemed like it was there to be there. I do hope wvw gets some much needed love

I killed liadri with my engineer, knights gear (best armor I had) with 30/10/0/30/0, whatever the old hgh grenade build was; however, I did the rest of the guantlet with my guardian. I will be trying the 8 orbs of light achievement with my ranger or warrior though

I hoped from the beginning that necros would get hammers, and wield them like they’re a bit to heavy, like fable 1 with a weapon you weren’t ready for. but with the torches, looks like they may get torches. Also, in Guild Wars 1, if you never used a hammer on a ranger, you didn’t do pvp from certain times, it was great having them with hammers.

Are you not able to talk to the fight manager and get subject 7 from there?
