What about the Vinewrath? Faolain? The Pale Tree?

Maybe the Vinewrath. He didn’t really feel threatening, though, as he never left the cave.
Faolain was converted late in the story, so she had little time to be a lieutenant. However, I suppose she’d fit the role if she’d been more present.
The Pale Tree counts as much as Glint does, as neither one was on the Dragon’s side when we met them. We don’t fight the Pale Tree, while we do fight the Shadow of the Dragon.

Vinewrath couldn’t be, he.. it.. was really strong, but that was because it was our first encounter with a mordrem chieftain, and he had 4 champions at his beg and call. Later on we see multiple Vinewraths during the Story instances (I don’t think they appear in the wild anywhere). but they’re designed as overpowered turrets so you just have to avoid them. But you can kill them if you’re a good dodger and can outlast them. Although there’s no point as they just block passages where the story instance ends, and they quickly respawn.

Amaimon.7823:

and his three big guys? Axemaster, Stavemaster and that third one (yea I know of ’em is femme fatale)

They felt more like personal guards than lieutenants as they weren’t leading the charge into Tyria.

but as a trio, weren’t they in charge of eradicating/enslaving the races that lived around in the jungle. I remember having a showdown with the Stavemaster when you choose to defend the itzel camp in the story. I mean, sure, individually they’re not the real champion of mordremoth, but as a trio they had one of the highest roles, and we had to kill them several times because unlike most creatures, they actually had tactical retreats slowly before they died. Only at the islands did they stay to fight till their last breath.

Drakz.7051:

Was a bad idea from the start, people will leave over this and others will start becoming more strict in party forming and reduce interest in high end content.

It also makes it so people use specific builds and can’t handle changes when nerfs hit and have to wait for the new meta.

And one of the biggest draws this game has is the diversity of classes, dps meters take away from that and the game becomes less of this unique experiance and just another bland mmo ruined by a community of people who would quite easily move to a new game if it offered more raids.

It was a good idea from the start, more people will get into raiding when they can visually see exactly how good they are, and people are more likely to be open for pugs because you can see how good the people are who join your party.

It also makes people practice with different builds because just because something’s meta, doesn’t mean they personally will get the highest numbers. A small change in an utility skill, or a different trait, can raise or lower your personal dps. you can now actually visualize the impact of the changes in your build.

and one biggest boons to this is that you can see when you over-dps, or under-dps, so you can change the composition of your party to have more druids, more chronos, more condis, more dps, whatever it is that you need. it becomes more of a unique experience because until now you couldn’t visualize how good your build was, so everyone just ran the meta builds without being able to see whether or not they were actually doing it right. Now they can see whether or not the meta build is suitable for them.

—

Do you see my point, all things you consider to be the drawback, others consider to be the best thing that happened to this game since we finally got to put Caudecus on a cross. All I’m trying to say is, one may think only of the negative aspects, and others may only see the positive aspects. You can’t say that a dps meter will turn a game into a more vibrant and variant world, or into a bland generic hack’n’slash.

T However, Mordremoth only had the Shadow of the Dragon from S2E4 and possibly the Mouth of Mordremoth down in Dragon’s Stand, which is more similar to the Eyes and Mouth of Zhaitan than a proper lieutenant.

Private Data: data concerns you in real life, aka, health, position, living location, age, gender, etc etc.
Game Data: dps, skills, really any kind of information that’s generated ingame, and is only of use ingame.

E.g., DPS meters can only see Game Data, and not Private Data, as a result, you cannot bring this on a legal level. The judge is just gonna sigh and fine you for wasting the courts’ time

for non-raiding PvE either Metabattle or QTFY.eu is fine, really

anything is fine for non-raiding PvE actually

easy, warrior:
when I get bitten: Shake it Off
when i get surrounded: Stomp

well no one can help you with that.

If a group of players felt offended about the traiding post – youd expect Arenanet to do something about that too?

At some point you should start being reasonable

if i was a minority then yeah i should just get with the programe or gtfo but the player base is prety split in its opinion of dps meters guess this varys depending on the circles you run in

You have to remember that the tool was designed for Raids, so the group of players that the discussion is relevant for, is the raiding community. if anyone kicks you for bad dps in fractals or dungeons, then they’re stupid people and you shouldn’t have associated with them anyway. But we’re talking about raids, but I honestly believe that the majority of the raiding community agrees that if you sign up for a DPS role, then there should be nothing wrong with a tool that proves whether or not you’re actually DPS’ing

I just noticed that the rat king in that video has many heads. That reminded me.
Apparantly, long ago, they actually made “Rat Kings” by hand. They collected rats, and then tied them together at the tail, so you’d have a wriggling ball of rats.

And I’ll be happy to see those nice young
Men in their clean white coats and

They’re coming to take me away, ha-haaa.
They’re coming to take me away, ho ho, he he , ha ha,
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re coming to take me away, ha-haaa!"

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

No, NA and EU have the same Dailies. But, Core Tyria and HoT purchasers can have different Dailies, as well as those with sub-L80 only characters.

His timer may have been set up with the previous Dailies, possibly.

thats right, options are:

• you don’t have HoT, and therefore different dailies
• you may have HoT but the timer is for non-HoT acounts
• you may have HoT or not, but the timer is simple out of date/glitched to the wrong dailies

besides, this whole topic is about “weeh, they can see my dps” in a situation where you need to do DPS. If you join a group as a DPS role, then you should be providing the DPS you said you would provide. IF THEN you provide the DPS that you SAID you would provide, then the tool can do no harm. If the tool shows you did less DPS than you SAID you would do, then you are in the wrong for joining the party as a DPS role and not doing the DPS that you said you would deliver.
So the only thing the tool does is snitch if you lie to your teammates.

If you are unable to do the DPS the team requires of you, maybe you should take a different role, like PS, or Chrono, or Druid. Then you won’t get kicked for having a low DPS because DPS won’t be your role.

and then there’s also the matter where if you join a squad, you consent to the sharing of information that’s relevant for the squad to function. Maybe multiplayer games aren’t your thing if you want as little communication between you and team-members as possible

I can’t tell it’s getting bigger (but that might be my screen) but it does like it’s animation resets when you start and stop moving

Chase.8415:

I mean I just don’t see a reason to change the reset time. Most people I play with work during the week and we can still raid on our own convience.

Not everyone works Monday-Friday either, especially if you work in the science or medical fields.

Thats the point, I work in medical sciences, so I can never tell my friends “yea, monday evening is good, I can join” because only on monday can I tell whether or not I’ll be working in the evening. Only in the weekends can I say “Yea, I can join”

they did a request where people could submit art designs a while back
250 cool designs were made
anet chose the quaggans/comedically/bad designs, all cool/good designs were kept out

I want to comment on the Trio, though, as it’s really easy, but relies heavily on a good and clear distribution of the roles. You need someone dedicated to the mortars. You need someone dedicated to keep saboteurs away from the cage, etc. So a well organized team can steamwaltz through it like it’s the easiest boss, but a team that relies only on dealing damage and surviving, will have a 100% fail career

Personal experience of order of difficulty:

1st order: Easiest
Vale Guardian, Escort
2nd order: Easy with a good team, everyone needs to pull their weight
Gorseval, Trio, Cairn, Samarog
3rd order: Some difficulty, don’t expect first run kills
Sloth, KC, Sabetha, Mursaat Overseer
4th order: Requires serious practice and a good team where everyone works together
Matthias, Xera, Deimos,

I have doubts whether or not to call Gorseval 1st or 2nd order, he’s technically easy, but you need either a very good DPS setup, or a good tank with communication. And either way you need good CC for the ghosts, so you can’t slack there.

New hair styles means hair style makeover and total makeover kits bought, which means money coming in. This should be a bigger thing.

At this stage, I see more calls for horns, beards and ears than hairstyles, so if money is what we need, I’d suggest anet make those first. Especially since those could only be accessed by full makeover kits instead of hair style kits

Totally agree.

It’s all good stuff. I’m sure there are lots of viking style beards that norn could use.

yes
the norn need more beards
not the humans
I totally agree

ClickToKill.8473:

I really like the idea of Lazarus being Abaddon, mainly because this does seem like something Abaddon would do. Especially when Lazarus says “we have more virtuous pursuits to attend to”, Abaddon would very much like to keep magic a thing in Tyria. The Elder Dragons would like to consume Tyria and its magic. That would make the dragons an enemy to Abaddon and would give him the conviction to oppose them, and further more make an alliance with the Commander(since the Commander has had a hand in laying to dragons down).

As for Abaddon being dead… perhaps the artifact that was switched out as an aspect of Lazarus, was actually one of Abaddon’s artifacts. In the Personal Story, we have a mission where we are going into a lost temple of Abaddon to thwart Shaitan’s minions from getting Abaddon’s relics. What if a piece of Abaddon survive in one of them?

Finally, I think Abaddon is one of the most interesting and misunderstood characters in the GW universe. While he was the villain in Nightfall, was he really evil, or was he just driven into madness by his prison. His actions in Nightfall made it seem as if we were just trying to keep him from breaking out. I’m not saying Abaddon is a saint either, but then again, is anyone character in this game infallible?(Heck, in Nightfall, we made an alliance with Palawa Joko in order to hunt Abaddon, which restored him to power and allowed him to now rule Elona. So, we that played through Nightfall are the reason Elona is a place of undeath lol)

There is some dispute about the condition of Abaddon, but it is generally agreed upon that he was “consumed”. He merged with Kormir to become a new god, in which Abaddon’s mind/consiousness was most likely 100% erased/taken over. In either event, the devs have made it 100% clear that to them, abaddon is deader than dead, and can and will not ever return.

I don’t see it being Glint (who was both female and not humanoid at all, unlike Lazarus). Why would she hide her identity from the PC? Lazarus came by himself, so if the figure isn’t really Lazarus, he’d have reason to hide his identity from the PC.

It being Mordremoth is an interesting idea, truth be told, and fully plausible since we know he planted a seed in Trahearne’s mind – he could easily have done such to another minion. The main problem is appearance, but if he knows some mesmer illusion-making, that’d be solved. On an side: Mordremoth died about a year before the attack on Stronghold of the Faithful.

Well if your spirit is reborn in a new body, your voice isn’t going to stay the same, is it? And as Glint is a seer, it’s quite possible that she would hide her identity for #Reasons.

But before the attack on the Stronghold of the Faithful, Modremoth dieing kicked off something big for the White Mantle/Bandits in the area right?

Glint is a dragon.
A dead dragon.
On what basis do you make the claim that the spirit of Glint lives on?, even in this fantasy world nothing just continues existing as a ghost without a catalyst? And do you even know what a Seer is? it’s a race, not a class, Glint is not a Seer, Glint is a dragon. If she survived (which is like the opposite of a propability) she wouldn’t be hiding out as a mursaat. thats not her MO.
ergo, Glint is less than a possible option.

Does Glint look this? I need to update my glasses, it’s been 2 years, but I don’t think my eyesight is that off

Dunno where you get the whole “ghost needs a catalyst” as that’s kind of disproved by, well, every single ghost there is.

And you know what a Seer is, but do you know what a seer is?

here’s a hint

All ghosts are:
- Foefire
- killed by bloodstone ritual
- having a destiny or duty of higher level, having something that bound them to stay (very few examples, but look at Turai Ossa)
I can’t think of, or remember any other source of ghosts

all of them had a catalyst, the didn’t become ghosts just because they didn’t want to die. And okay, yes, I concede the seer part, I thought the first to mention them was talking about the people who led the first elder races. Yes, she was a regular seer (to which I wonder if she knew it was her own end, then and there).

Daniel Handler.4816:

Ardid.7203:

While I find most of your ideas very interesting, Daniel, the way you formulate and combine them makes very strange and hard to grasp what you are trying to say.

Daniel Handler.4816:

It’s not stated definitively but every recorded incidence follows that pattern. Including (off the top of my head)

• dragon corruption, rite of the great dwarf, the margonites, the searing, the cataclysm, the foefire, the exalted, the cleansing of orr, kudu, jade wind,

Ok. So… the goal of every recorded incident was to make someone “as strong as the Pale Tree”? I don’t think this is what you are trying to say.
I think you are mixing the goal, the specific intention of the people making those events happen, with the final and general effects of those incidents.

The goal of Omadd’s Machine was to look directly at the Eternal Alchemy. Its effect was to give Mordremoth a direct link to Scarlet’s mind. Also she got a glimpse of “the All” and of Mordremoth’s mind, gaining some strenghts and knowledge from that, along a bunch of personality disorders. If this experience made her “stronger than the pale tree” or not, doesn’t have any relevance, IMO, given the resolution of her story.

Daniel Handler.4816:

With all her knowledge from the All and prior education she still had to rely on Mordremoth. Technology alone couldn’t accomplish her goal.

Are you refering to Scarlet? Wasn’t her goal to awake mordremoth? So… she still had to rely on Mordremoth to awake Mordremoth? AFAIK, she did awake Mordremoth by cleverly using technology (A giant drill).

I’ll try to be clearer.

All incidents in the game where something was permanently transformed by magic came from one of the following:

• Elder Dragon/God or their champion
• a group of people combining their power
• a person or people using artifacts/technology

We have never seen a regular person permanently change something totally by themselves.

I don’t think Scarlet just accomplished it through her own ingenuity + the All. I think she had help from Mordemoth in the knowledge department.

I think Taimi when she accesses the All will not get enough information to invent a solution.

This is obviously my subjective interpretation of the events surrounding Scarlet, and how complex Taimi’s machine will have to be.

I sincerely doubt mordremoth actively helped Scarlet. When you think about, mordremoth was still asleep. I think Scarlet, at the time, was still a normal sylvari, but because she saw “the truth of the world” she knew the elder dragons were the leading tools in shaping the world, in her case, especially mordremoth. I think she just felt it necessary to awaken mordremoth to keep the “engine of the world” rolling

“Don’t quote me on this”
- Amaimon

but I thought Scarlet’s desire was to be the best in the field of scholarly, for sake of having her own path, or for the sake of having the means to get her own path.
Like, I felt she felt that intelligence was the most important tool (or weapon) to have in this world, and that she didn’t want anything to do with an assigned duty or destiny.

Chris McSwag.4683:

I’m not really sure which problem you are aiming to solve by moving reset?
Is it to make sure that those whom do not have the possibility to play during weekday evenings(I’d estimate this to be a minority of active raiders) to have more opportunities to find LFG groups?

It seems kinda pointless to me, and youre better off finding a guild or static that raid on weekends. There is quite a bunch of them

For my personal experience, I have a raid group now, RTI. But raids are still few inbetween, I only have just gotten my 18th LI. With that it’s impossible to pug even though I can tell from experience I’m better than the average pug. The reason I want to advocate the push, is because if the reset takes place on a friday, then people who raid in the evenings can still do it then, if they prefer monday, with their own groups, they can still raid on monday as that won’t change at all. But there will be a slight shift from monday-wednesday activity to friday-sunday when it comes to the more lenient, and in general number of parties in LFG. Right now, the static groups who haven’t finished their raids by the weekend, are usually stuck on the more difficult bosses. It’s almost impossible to still find easy raid groups like VG, Gorseval, Trio or Escort in the weekend as most people do those first.

Lazarus = Lazarus > terrible story writing, complete destruction of a famous NPC
Lazarus = semi-Lazarus > interesting story writing, plus redemption for the so far terrible display of Lazarus’ personality.
Lazarus =//= Lazarus > also interesting, but maybe a bit too much of an open, aka, lazy writing to justify just about any random plot they have yet to come up with

SlippyCheeze.5483:

I’m not clear if DPS meter discussion is allowed here, now they have developer … tolerance, if not approval, but the big three are:

• arcdps
• bgdm
• gw2 helper

You might also be interested in things that interact with the API to provide tools outside the game. These are not “addons” in the way WoW has them, but they are useful:

• http://gw2timer.com/ — provides an overlay, also, that can run over the game, or in a separate window. (I recommend the later, but YMMV.)
• https://gw2efficiency.com/

There are plenty of others, though: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/API:List_of_applications

Discussion was always fine, because that’s what the forum is for. Advocating is something else, but discussing a used tool should be fine. I don’t think it’s allowed to advocate any items or websites that anet have made a clear distance from

Dragon Masher.5749:

Just food for thought, there are lots of static groups who im sure raid on weekends and need people. Im sure most people have better plans for the weekend than raiding though.

in retrospect, don’t people have school and work during the working week. Static groups aren’t quite as flexible as you might hope them to be. They usually don’t want to hassle with LFG so when they have to, they usually don’t ask for less than 150LI

some exclusive faces have extra filters for the eyes, but they recently have been dealing with buggy eyes, so it seems propably there are still some bugs left (or new ones happened because of it)

sad to see the monday is getting such a heavy increment :/ but I’ll accept whatever the majority chooses

Sirlath.1672:

You’re close, he’s actually Balthazar. And Jennah/Anise are Lyssa. And Kasmeer is Kormir..

Long ago, the nations lived in harmony, until the flame legion attacked. When the world needed him the most, the Khan’Ur disapeared. my brother and I found a young charr, called Rytlock, he’s still young with a lot to learn, but I believe he can save the world!

For some of us the monday works fine as it is.
For some others this is a problematic time, as it’s the start of the working week, which means by the time it’s friday, and working class people have time, it’s harder to get a group together as a lot of people will have done the easier raids already.

As a result, I’d propose a poll to see if there’s an overwhelming majority who’d like to see the reset moved to friday.

https://goo.gl/WyaCcy

Please share your thoughts on the matter, and whatever, keep it civil, this is only about the reset time, not about the content of raids.

I’d like to specify that if you vote monday, you mean that you actively want monday, it doesn’t mean the same as “it doesn’t matter to me”

Haleydawn.3764:

Well, backpacks and other Ascended items are split for Core and HoT.
This backback is a Core backpack, released before Sinister/Nomads stats.

If you made it for the skin, you got the skin, if you made for a certain stat that it doesn’t have, that mistake is on you really.

I can’t disagree with that, but I can’t feel like I’ve been backstabbed a little. The least they could do is allow restatting like we can do with armors and weapons. The backpack is a pretty big part of every build, so it should be a possibility, no?

HIDE THE OPTIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO DON’T HAVE HOT
come on, it’s not that hard. Games have had limited options on dropdown bars since runescape first came out. How hard can it be, just program some options that don’t show, or are colored red, if they don’t have HoT..

Offair.2563:

Join WoW to see how toxic tools like this can be.

I’ve played wow from Lich King to Draenor.
I stay by my original point, toxic people will be toxic, happy people will be happy. DPS meters will not affect this. You’re only withholding information for yourself. Not having a DPS meter is like stabbing yourself in the foot, and then complaining when everyone else doesn’t want someone with a knife in their foot to run a race.. maybe I’m being overdramatic, but you get my point. The use of DPS meters was as toxic here as there, 1:1 to as toxic the people themselves were. IT’S A TOOL, NOT A VIAL OF POISON

I went through the effort of crafting an ascended backpack, but I can’t select Viper or Sinister, which I need. When will this item be updated? It just feels bad.. like backstabbed bad, that it takes me 2 months to craft this thing, and then I find out I can’t even use it unless I’m a zerker.. whelp..

Blame the player not the DPS meter, the meter is just a tool that player would be the same without it.

A hundred percent true!

A hammer is a hammer – you can either use it to do a task or help someone at doing a task better or you can hit someone over the head with it because you don’t like how they are doing things. In both scenarios its the users doing it not the hammer

If you are so fragile emotionally, or terrible mechanically, that a DPS check will make you cry or get you kicked from a group, then you need to pucker up, accept that you need practice, and get frigging better at the game!

Don’t blame a tool for your lack of emotional grounding for goodness sake! Stop calling people who have standards of play “elitest” or “toxic” or whatever. Thank God DPS metres exist, or total fail trains of the calibre I experience doing just simple fractals (tier 2 chaos and my Rev is half the kittening DPS of the entire group? What the actual Christ??) would totally prevent ANet from ever making content for hardcore players! Yes, they exist. You do not need to play with them if you do not want to.

Also, get off my lawn!

why are you quoting that on two texts who agree with your line of thinking? shouldn’t you be quoting OP?

I was wondering that as well
Even though i wouldn’t phrase it as harsh

Sorry, didn’t mean it to sound harsh, I’ll add a smiley in the original post to lesten the stress

@Grogba.6204: it doesn’t matter who had how much alacrity (i don’t use that that monitor garbage so i can’t give you that info), bottom line we killed the bosses without any issues (beside one wipe on Gorse because 5 people got egged – which is CLEARLY not a an alacrity uptime issue) and all that dps meters contributed to was toxicity in the group, LITERARY nothing else.

Blame the player not the DPS meter, the meter is just a tool that player would be the same without it.

A hundred percent true!

A hammer is a hammer – you can either use it to do a task or help someone at doing a task better or you can hit someone over the head with it because you don’t like how they are doing things. In both scenarios its the users doing it not the hammer

Guns kill people
Spoons make people fat
And DPS meters make people toxic

YEEEY new world order

Then maybe you need to find different teams to play with. They have brought nothing but support and helpfulness to teams I’ve been in raids with.

Yeah, so not only i have to filter through bad players, i also have to filter through toxic players with their dps tools. Lovely.

You misunderstand. If you have trouble sifting through toxic players, then maybe you need to change your tactics. Join a raiding guild. Make one with a group of friends. Make your own LFG parties. There is no need for you at all to be bothered by other toxic players, you let yourself be bothered and then blame the DPS meter for the toxicity.

Thats not how it works. Toxic people are toxic, DPS meters aren’t toxic. Toxic people will be toxic without the DPS meters. DPS meters are just tools. Cheerful people will be cheerful with or without DPS meters, toxic people will be toxic with or without the DPS meters.

The existence of the DPS meters doesn’t change the toxicity of people in the slightest. This is no different from “have full zerker gear or kick” we dealt with at the start of the game.

They don’t wanna destroy Tyria at all, they just wanna consume food in peace. From their point of view, they’re the lions at the top of the food chain, and we’re the unwelcome hyenas who get in the way. So they shrug us off and kill us if we disturb them. I mean, for all they care we can just continue living in our cities and wait for them to be done

New hair styles means hair style makeover and total makeover kits bought, which means money coming in. This should be a bigger thing.

At this stage, I see more calls for horns, beards and ears than hairstyles, so if money is what we need, I’d suggest anet make those first. Especially since those could only be accessed by full makeover kits instead of hair style kits

+1 to OP

I also completely disagree with use of DPS meters, they brought nothing but toxicity so far in raids i have been in.

Then maybe you need to find different teams to play with. They have brought nothing but support and helpfulness to teams I’ve been in raids with.

So rather than a filter for people who understand the game and know how to play it properly, you want it to be a filter for teams that can’t do (at least) 34,385,600 damage in 7m30s? Maybe a different kind of game is more up your lane, GW2 is for people who want to play properly, and have different kinds of challenges to tackle.

yea, but sometimes you’re in, and you forget something, and then my party members get annoyed that I have to leave the instance again, since I have long loading screens

But wasn’t the ‘luitenant’ of Mordremoth the trio of corrupted Sylvan?
The luitenant doesn’t have to be one individual.
We know there are 5 undead dragons, of which 3 are in the dungeon, and 1 is tequatl.
There are (I think) two Claws of Jormag.
The shatterer gets reborn.
And originally The Great Destroyer was the luitenant. but he’s already .. do we call a dead destroyer repaired? or more destroyed?
