C’mon, we can’t even consistently kill the Marionette. It’ll take us quite awhile before we get Wurm down, sadly.

Were you on yesterday? Wins all day and two perfect runs in the evening. I don’t know how things went this afternoon, but when I log on tonight I intend to see those victories continue.

It’ll no doubt take us a long time to get the wurm down. All the more reason to start now.

I couldn’t get on yesterday, but that is a huge difference from the day before. We went from almost getting a perfect run to failing. It was pretty shameful :<

C’mon, we can’t even consistently kill the Marionette. It’ll take us quite awhile before we get Wurm down, sadly.

My Thief is a Charr Her name is Tecta Shadeclaw and she’s still a baby, but she is another Thief!

That was just so baffling xD Who the hell would have thought it would do that?

I have now had the Marionette fail several times because when we go through the portal there will be eight people put in one arena and none in another. Really, ANet? How do you program it like that without realizing that this would happen? :/

D:
I just did that boss with a group of guildies and it took us almost an hour because the sparks wouldn’t go in place… How is this done? I must know your secrets!

Thanks guys I thought that was it, but usually those types of things say consumable, so I was a bit confused xD

I’m probably being stupid, but I cannot figure out if you need only the one key or if once you use one it goes away and you need more to open the chests. I haven’t gotten to that part of the dungeon yet and would like to be prepared if I need multiple.

Why should this fight require being in a guild?

It doesn’t. FA’s first, and I believe all subsequent kills, have been done with a random mass of people taking commands through TS. A guild is handy for knowing when and where to be and for it to be a bonding experience for the group.

That all being said; I’d love to join up C:

You can’t program mechanics into a game that prevents bad human nature from ruining it. If someone refuses to play correctly on a Turret, and you find he’s doing it on purpose, report him. Just remember that the Devs said they need solid proof the person is griefing, rather than just being someone who really doesn’t understand what to do.

Also, Overflows exists because servers have a maximum capacity. This is actually a great game design, rather than having a queue timer to get into a map you want. (note – WvW is a different beast)

As for your idea of bad game design based on having the proper gear, are you saying that everyone should have only one type of weapon and armor set? That by removing any type of progression, you fix all these problems?

And finally, Condition Necros are still useful in helping overall. There’s more than a Champion Dragon to fight in this event.

I want to second the fact that CondiNecros are useful. My server just took down Teq for the first time and Condi’s were obscenely awesome for battery protection. It was also cool to finally see an event where people were begging for more Eles. Ice Bow and Fiery GS were pretty key to us defeating him; Fiery GS is almost OP right after Teq gets hit by the laser

I had the same problem yesterday, but sadly I didn’t make it in time. I got no achievement nor did I get the coin because I kept dying mid-jump. Makes me want to not play the SAB, but I want the stupid achievement points :/

8/10- they sound so cool and definitely sound like normal Asura names

Mine are not very Asura sounding, but I wanted to name mine after scientists xD I have Tessa Nika, a guardian named after Nikola Tesla, and Adalace Lovenir, a mesmer named after Ada Lovelace who was the first woman in robotics.

6/10- It has the Gaelic feel that most Sylvari have, but it sounds so much like Caleb, which is bland and misplaced for the race :<

I have two Sylvari- Cuineal Muir ,my main whose an elementalist, and Dris Dreas, my warrior. I know they’re kinda boring, but I went with things I liked xD

There is a very tiny space that gets you into the shop. I just did it a few hours ago and while it sucked, it only took me about 5 minutes to get in.

I had a few random deaths yesterday mid-jump. It was so very strange o.o

I had a similar graphic glitch on the World 1 final boss in normal mode. I could see the happy clouds with rainbows from Infantile, but my team mate could not. They were not functional, just a weird anomaly.

I tried in-game and off-game e-mailing ANet about this so now I’m coming here: Anyone else not able to finish Hint Completion? In my hints it still says that I have not gotten an Achievement Chest… I have 3 level 80s, along with four other characters, and have been playing since March. I’ve gotten plenty of them, they just are not being recognized by this one part of the game :<

Didn’t the devs outright state that Tribulation is basically Cat Mario mode? Cat Mario is meant to have very little skill and basically be rage inducing. Seriously, watch PewDiePie play and it you will get a good idea of what Tribulation is supposed to be xD

Maybe I’m just used to limited items from site Gaia, but what I find silly is that originally they had only released half a set. Each set should represent which time it came around, I’m not miffed about that at all. It’s a status thing and it should stay that way for all “holiday” items.

Okay, why is it wrong for a tiny bit of the content to be geared for “hardcore” players? That makes the game more inclusive and makes more people play. Honestly, while one-shots suck, they have been an integral part of difficult fights for ages. I’m pretty sure every Final Fantasy has THAT nasty boss that constantly one hit kills, I’m thinking of Zodiark and the Weapons in particular. The mechanic forces you to play in a way other than “stand there and tank the damage while hitting the monster with a sharp stick”.

It took me over 500 tries and three different characters to finally beat her. I got up to her 7 days ago and only took a break this past weekend. It sucked, it really did. I have severe arthritis in my hands and regular GW2 play kills me sometimes, this Bee had me wearing wrist braces at night to help my hands recover. I kept going because I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it, I wanted to flip-off my disability basically. This morning, with coaching from a guildie and support from a person I met in the Pavillion, I beat her and literally did a happy dance.

Yes the orbs are obnoxious and have a decent amount of luck involved, but they only spawn in specific spots. Yes the constantly spawning shadows are horrible. Yes they should have thought through the fact that the red rings do not layer properly over the grated floor, though I got pretty used to how far I had to be from them. Yes her whip does some nasty things to your movement, but all of the classes I’ve played (all but 2) have ways to counter/cleanse conditions. Finally, I will concede that the camera angles and the dome are just stupid and definitely make it harder for Norn and Charr. The fight is possible though.

I don’t have any pictures yet since I just did it and my game is on a different comp, but I finally did it after 500+ attempts and about 160 gold for making my Mesmer and Guardian level 80 with full gear. I even tried using my Ele for it since she’s my main, but that ended in flames xD My one guildie baby-step’d me through it for my Guardian; Knight’s/Zerker/Cleric gear socketed for boon duration and 0/0/30/30/10 traits. Most of my strategy was using Retaliation on her the whole fight and then using Scepter 1 in phase two. I was so determined to beat her since I play to escape the fact that I can’t do much IRL due to disability… I feel so awesome now that I finally did it C:

I have not had my butt handed to me this hardcore during the entire Gauntlet. Everyone says it is so easy on Mesmer and looking at videos it looks like it should, but Strugar only goes between throwing meat and pulling me to him. Did they buff him or something? I can barely do anything to them before I’m down and out and I am confused beyond all belief about it.

Where do you get the runes you have listed?

I’ve said it before, but I must have lucked out and gotten the most amazing pick-up ever. I also watched a playthrough of the dungeon before hand, so I knew what to do and the others had beaten it before already. I thought it was really fun

Thankfully an awesome Mesmer from my guild brought me through with a portal. Say what you will about it being cheap, but when we were nicely going through the puzzle a group of 20+ came through and killed me since I was too slow. It was a seriously d**k move to bulldoze individual players :/ Thankfully my Mesmer friend got away from them and then came back to rez me and then portal us up. I think Anet screwed the pooch on this since it really made me never want to touch WvW and I’m sure others feel the same way.

I guess I just had an insanely awesome group compared to some people. This was my first time ever doing a dungeon and I loved it, I had my Elementalist and the rest of the group was Guardians and Warriors. We got it done in under 30 minutes and it was so much fun; I did die a few times, but I’m pretty squishy so I expected that.

I was part of a guild before, but I a) felt very awkward since everyone had their own little clique, and b) got booted because I had to take an unexpected break due to chemo stress. I really want a guild that would be understanding of unannounced breaks like that since I’m on chemo for the next four years or so. I also haven’t done any PvP or WvW since I want to work on my character in PvE first; I want to do dungeons and get the specialty armor.
