You should feed it more. Yours is probably malnourished.

I think that jumping puzzle in metrica. Though I’m not sure.

of you’re banner

Also evry1 can read fine…… U make thangs hard “to read” when ur gramur is bad…….. and this makes ur posts confused……… So the meaning of ur post is lost.

The hypocrisy in your posts is real

Was kind of intentional. If he is going to complain about how everyone is commenting on his grammar when it really is bad that’s kind of what happens. Also I don’t think I agree that he is a non native English speaker. If he is I would understand more but I think he would have also mentioned that earlier. Also most non native English speakers don’t use abbreviations like: u, ur, ppl.

Anyway now that I think about it, I’m not so sure he just isn’t trolling by what he is trying to convey. So I’m out.

its like everyone is following the shepherd…one guy said brainless stupid thing…and u all follow like sheep.
what i meant is, that even if u had the “meta” its not a guarantee that they will be good with what they are playing…just like ele that use signet heal as part of the “meta buid”…or he use staff, but still he camp earth and auto attack with it.(im talking from experience)
on the other hand,its rare to find a good necro/ranger or any other class that isnt the meta, but i myself play necro on a high lv and i know more players who use that profession better then any ele/guard/warrior/thief that i met!!
the purpose of this post is to make ppl (who can actually read english) watch and think about it all over again, just like the dude who post above that blasting with banner is legit way ( im not flaming im not been salty dont get me wrong…i even glad that u take ur time and read it and even made a comment, and i hope what blade said will sound reasonable to you and will make you and others rethinking) . well blade already said everything that need to be said to rethinking the idea of blasting with staff.and while im commenting about his replay: necro guardian and ranger can blast on their own with thier weapons or skills…rest of the party just do 1 blast the ele doest the rest!!!
banner blast is waste of the banner itself that could hurt you if u encounter the boss and ur banner will be on cd…then what?!

P.S maybe the ones who “cant read” dont know how to read english at all"
everyone is talking big and high like english is part of his nature, u all igonr the post…cause it doesnt touch elitists feelings..this is sad

So to sum this up. You’re better than any ele, guard, warrior, and theif that you have ever met by playing necro. But also you’re saying others are being elitists. If you’re this good you should probably just solo everything you do. Also you lose only like 5 seconds tops of you’re banner if you are might stacking before a fight. If you are using it after a fight to blast stealth why does it matter? Maybe you think using number 5 makes the banner disappear faster? If so that is not the case.

Also evry1 can read fine…… U make thangs hard “to read” when ur gramur is bad…….. and this makes ur posts confused……… So the meaning of ur post is lost.

Once you’re level 80 the game changes quite a bit. It’s really hard to judge a class at lower levels. You might want to check out the gw2 metabattle website there are guides on there as well as videos about how the class is played at 80 with all traits and utilities. I agree though leveling your first time around does get really redundant. But there are lots of classes to try out, and as the guy above asked we might be able to help you figure out a class that fits your play style the best of you go into more detail about that.

I will say ele is one of the most dynamic classes in PvE. It has a lot more weapon skills and the combos it makes are really useful plus it’s utility. I know you said you’re bored with ele but it is different at 80. Thief is also kind of fun dagger dagger is interesting, 5 puts you in stealth which makes your 1 skill change and become more powerful. Plus you have to attack from the side/behind. So the rotation to that is kind of fun although repetitive…. Anyway sorry rambling now. But yeah try to push through to 80 and see how much of a difference it makes.

How to fix tagging issue:

I would set a timer where gold would be 20 minutes or less, silver under 30 and bronze up to 50. At 50 Mordy wins and everybody gets blown up. Similar to other past world events.

Lau Hang Phrutt.5196:

Big fan here now playing with my rl kid as chore rewards.. any who.. with the new lions arch and crafting re arranged does any one know if the laurel merchant that was removed ( which sold extended potions recipes ) has it been re established else where ? or are all these recipes gone now ?… I have got ingredients but the system wont even let me access them ??( well withing my crafting level ) do we use the forge now ? The wiki said it had been moved in the reno.. but where do we go now ?

The crafting vender sells the recipes

Honestly they could make up for this by not only adding the night time effects/sounds but also adding something additional. Please summon Fenrir or mini wold to follow you around for like 5 seconds. :-)

Reflect may be a thing of the past for Mesmer meta. Sure it will still be needed and run on certain shards and bosses but remember…. That thing called a specialization….

Mesmer will have more roles or even a better set up most likely with the specialization. It’s way too early to QQ about this lol.

I highly doubt we will see season 1 as a playable instance. It would require so much work, just as much work that went into developing the actual season 1. Personally I think this was the best solution. The only thing that I think could be improved are perhaps a tour where you would enter the different zones where the story took place and interact with something to see a cut scene. There are a lot of landmarks that the living story created which could be used for this. It could be a small story itself and guided by the green stars when activated and have some type of 5 point achievement for doing it or some type of reward like a mini scarlet or something. Just my two cents.

But thanks for doing this anet it’s pretty cool.

It’s a good idea and I appreciate it. Although idk how effective it is with securing accounts since a lot of people just activate it, get mini, deactivate.

I think the way wild star or FF AR does this is much better. You could reduce waypoints by 20% or increase XP/mastery point acquisition by 5% or something while the authenticator is active.

HoM fix is apparently going live today. Maybe this is next on the list? That’s too hopeful tho… I’d think we would at least get a dev response if it was going to be in the list. If we are lucky a dev will post this week to at least tell us it’s being looked into now since some resources may be freed with the HoM fix being done.

Get fractal tonic. That should keep you busy for awhile.

I could see some added new events where an area gets cleansed and starts to get greener then the risen come back to retake it and make it ugly again. Of course those would have to be really spread out time wise for it to make sense but it would help add to the cleansing of Orr which is supposedly happening. .

actually here is Kevin’s leg bone. I used to have this at some point.

You miss on the 1% fast clear damage. You have to invest almost 200 gold for +5 agony resistance which are absoultely worthless and useless playing wvw, not even mentioning the laughable low gold gain in wvw. It looks crappy to have agony resistance on a wvw set.

And all that just because there are no versatile wvw infusions/the laughable restriction for unique trinkets/the inability to access different trinkets with the same stats and infusions slots if not purchased 2 years ago and saved up until now, having to predict the future and abuse/exploit a very unfair advantage.

This should be clear even for the most narrow minded.

Im confused why 5 AR would cost you that much.

But more on topic, in my opinion it’s also not a big deal. Sorry.

I’m sure the nerf herders are hard at work, herding new nerfs so the cycle of nerfs can begin anew.

Or maybe they’re nerfing away, deep in the nerf mines, loading up cartloads of nerfium to dump into the game.

Or maybe they’re slaving over a hot nerf in the nerf kitchen that just needs a little more nerf.

Or maybe they’re just as happy about the state of the ele as you are.

I heard they were brewing nerf potion but the need to wait for the kitten to howl on a full moon in order to get the nerf just right. Apparently a kitten howling on a full moon reveals just the right amount of nerf to use on eles. Somehow I think this also relates to temptest and warhorn.

My personal theory is that it originally led to the Tengu starter zone, before that race was scrapped. That area of the map already has 3 starter areas and two 15-25 areas all close together. imo it would be a logical place to put it.

That’s a cool theory. It’s be really interesting to learn if they had planned that at some point but of course we won’t cause anet. Though I’d think there would have had to be a specific tengu starter zone too that is tengu themed like the other racial starter theme zones.

@ Basandra. This wasn’t an exception. Anyone that has experience with support or hangs out in the bug forum where most of this type of thing gets reported knows that anet will 90%+ of the time give back an item you delete or salvage on accident at least once. That’s just how the company runs which is awesome.

Although I usually caution people who plan to put in a request for something rather trivial like a ascended ring or something because usually it is only once that they do this for someone.

Anyway OP I’d mark this thread to be closed. And thanks anet for having awesome support. A lot of people appreciate it. I’ve never even used support but think highly of it with all the awesome things support does.

There used to be more bugs surrounding this though they fixed those. I had a party once get permanent boons from an area that was through map breaking and reported it. Supposedly that was fixed though. IMO it’s cool but just watch some YouTube videos or something about it.

I think part of the problem here is anet fixes bugs that the community is really upset about. This thread is at 5 pages but it’s really old. It’s not nearly as active as the HOM or GWAMM threads…..

Here the other thing. A lot of people choose not to make howler because this is such a known bug. So there’s less pressure to fix it because people just don’t make it because it’s broken.

I’d still love to see this fixed. I posted a few times here and although I don’t have howler I’d make it if we saw this fixed.

So… i just realized i salvaged dawn…. I thought I was salvaging khrysaor for the air sigil. No, it was dawn. Same skin I guess. I had no idea.

You guys HAVE to make precursors not salvageable. There are low level WHITES you can’t salvage for crying out loud. Or make it so you have to type the name in like some other items.

I’ve read a number of similar threads on this in the past. I never thought it could really happen, but it turns out it was surprisingly easy to do. I didnt even really realize it until this morning.

anyway, the pain is real. PLEASE make the change.

It’s “easy” to do because you blithely ignored the “ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO SALVAGE <INSERTITEMNAMEHERE>?” prompt. Frankly that’s your own fault and Support is going to, justifiably, say the same thing and not help you.

They dont need to change anything either, as that prompt SHOULD be enough of a warning for people.

You missed the part where support already gave it back to him. Usually they do for something like this at least once. If you do it more than once it’s a toss up. But everyone makes mistakes.

This thread is so confusing. Are people arguing with themselves? I’d bet this thread closes by tomorrow evening. But yeah hard to understand what is going on lol

I believe it’s the loot boxes that are not for weapons or armor. Usually you get some random greens and blues from them.

RoseofGilead only issue is you cant be guests from american servers on european servers they outlined that when they first announced the guesting aspect back before it was released and he wont do a different american server because he hates lvling alone and the timer on how long you can guest and the cooldown for when you can do it again is rather annoying. Otherwise yea he would transfer to a different american server from his european server. Yea i could delete my characters but i have almost five lvl 80 toons and losing them would suck because i put so much time into them .

You don’t have to guest. Simply being on his friendlist and/or guild will put you in the same map most likely. Being in the same party will put you in the same map. If it doesn’t you right click him to join his map. No guesting required. The only thing you can’t do together is wvw

aww okies so he only has to transfer from europe to an american server then? so its like the thing blizzard did for Wow then.

Yep. The mega server takes into account your party, friendlist, guild and home server when choosing a shard map for you. But your friend list and guild take president over your home server as well as your party. I’d be surprised if you ever would end up on different shards when zoning into a map if he is on your friendlist. Unless of course it’s something like teq where maps fill up fast and people are always changing shards with the LFG tool.

There’s really no reason to guest anymore. It’s a rather outdated feature with the mega server. Someone’s I use it if there’s a dungeon closed on my map. But 90% of the time that doesn’t work because I end up back on the same map even after dropping party and turning off guild to try and be placed in a different shard.

I kind of like this thread let’s not de rail it. By all means derail that meta bully ppl thread. I think some of the suggestions here are cool. Such as my own :-D

Even though yeah it’s unlikely to be implemented due to the man power it would take to do so.

I remember why this thread topic never goes anywhere now. Lol

The main reason we don’t care about losing the legendary and keeping the skin is that GS tend to be power centric on classes anyway….. so the stat switching feature is essentially lost on the classes that would use it.

And you cant even swap sigils without destroying previous ones. Tha makes stat switching feature completely useless. We should be able to switch sigils on legendaries imo.

Of course you can’t swap sigils. Its a gold sink.

Working as intended.

I don’t think it’s a gold sink. People simply just get an exotic and use that if they want different sigils. Or they just play with the same sigils and stats that don’t match. Or the sigils are the slaying ones and are super cheap to change out.

But people aren’t switching out sigils like force, bloodlust etc. I could be wrong but that would be rather pointless. So it comes down to more of a QoL issue for a majority of the player base imo

You need to zone out and back into LA. You were in your own instance at some point and zoned out to LA and now it’s bugged for you.

And yeah the pop up menu in the lower left hand corner of the screen is really trollsy

I think this thread could get closed now. Seems a bit de railed and points keep being repeated.

MHE Tiger.4875:

How do you know you’ve been it with DR?
Genuinely curious

Bags, side chests stop dropping. Silvers and karma become less or non exsistent.

Also I thought if you farm one area without going off and doing something else on another map (at least zoning to another map) that you hit DR eventually. Could be wrong but thought that is how it worked.

Elitarny Mistrz.6051:

1. Lots of People create Eternity for sale. They get 4000g+ and 2 legendary skins. In my opinion Eternity must be Account Bound instantly after creating.
2. Anet please uptade Eternity Skin for something special, Not Day/Night Skin. Something like this

This looks awesome.

Totally agree that eternity is lacking. It’s also annoying because several of my characters look great with either the day or the night cycle eternity but not both. obviously since they look completely opposite of each other this happens for most people.

Since map 100% is tied to making Legendaries, any such account wide unlock would have to take this into consideration. The most probable being that any char with this unlock will never be able to get any of the map completion rewards, including any Gifts of Exploration.

This. If you want the shortcuts then you have to forgo the rewards. Someone earlier mentioned being able to turn it off later to receive the rewards by then discovering all the WPs. I don’t agree with that either. Example: Player rolls alt with all WPs unlocked, uses them for quick easy access to all the other map completion requirements, then disables it so they can get map completion rewards by only rediscovering WPs. That player still took a shortcut to map completion and thus should not get the rewards.

If people are willing to give up map completion rewards and 100% completion rewards for this then I have no problem with it. Make it a gem store item WP Unlock Stone, 2000 gems, unlocks all WPs that have been discovered by any characters on an account, permanently removes the ability to receive any map completion rewards.

I think you were referring to my post about toggling on and off the ability to have unlocked waypoints. But I said if you have it turned on to have them unlocked then you would be given a warning that you will stay at 0% map completion no matter what you do until you turn the feature off and therefore the waypoints back off. Or you would stay at whatever percent your character is at such as 20%, which would remain locked at 20% when turning the feature on until you turned it off. Though that also sounds hard to do on a programming stand point.

If you’d make it so that you buy and item one time and no longer can get map completion ever again on you’re entire account I doubt a lot of people would go for that. Like what would happen to a character that had 80% done but you haven’t had the time to complete it yet?

It would have to be something you could choose to turn on for specific characters.
It also has to be able to stop that character from getting any map completion. Any other way will result in some type of justified QQ.

Theres been a lot of threads about this but they always seem to lose momentum. But this would be nice. I’d totally be down for a toggle with a warning that allows you to enable unlocked waypoints, but your map completion will stay at 0% until you turn off the toggle which locks way points. But that sounds quite complicated and they already have so much to work on…. Would be a nice QoL feature though for those of us that get tired of running alts around just for the waypoints.

Could we please get a fix for Howler…… I’d like to make it as prep for my ele but not when it’s all broken and crappy.

100 packets of salt

I sell mine. I highly doubt they will be salvageable given they can be bought with a currency imilar to karma/wvw badges.

I’m at the spot right now where all i need to finish my legendary is CoE runs but since I don’t use zerker nor do i feel comfortable using it it almost impossible to get a run. A week ago i was actually dropped from 10 parties in a row because i don’t have zerker or I wasn’t experiences. Now alot of ppl will tell me just to join a guild but lots of guilds do not want me since I cant play at a time when they do guild missions.

I always watch YouTube videos of how to do a dungeon if I’m not familiar with the tactics. Did this with GW2 and worked well way back when.

I remember back when people complained like mad about them releasing stuff in the gem store every other week.

People actually did that? -_- Lame…

Yes, there were plenty of threads complaining about the constant gem store updates. It crops up frequently in unrelated threads too.

They can’t really win tbh

It’s almost like different members of the community have different opinions or something, right? So weird!

They’re never going to make everyone happy. Not even anet has that expectation.

I think this happened more often back when we had living story delays. Since we don’t even have living story. Or anything atm. The only thing to look forward to is gemstone updates. And data mining.

Since they already posted about a poi review I kinda doubt we will see anything else.

So good!!!

Here are some warrior tips. Each class as utility that can help make 50s easier.

If you don’t have a staff ele using frozen ground for shaman use signet of might and LB 5. LB is also good for shaman due to fire aoe.

Fear me is also unblock able which can be helpful for subject 7 if the party coordinates for his shield.

Also for the thermanova shard you can use your healing stance to help get through the heat room. Though if you are Norn or have a born they will be better at it with racial elite.

You can also use signet of strength or fear me for aether shard at the end to interrupt the golem spin. Although endure pain works well too in case party is wiping, pop that and war banner.

Note though that war banner will not fully Rez if there is agony ticking because the agony decreases healing. So WB is somewhat RNG at 40s and 50.

You have a lot of blasts with banners. It doesn’t hurt to pop banners when an ele is might stacking at the start of a fight especially if they are doing this with just staff.

That’s all I got really. Some of these tricks are for carrying which you may need to do with pugs. Some might be redundant with a good party but even good parties mess up.

Wethospu.6437:

IIRC, AR gets sometimes bugged and you have to re-equip all your gear to recalculate it.

Yeah this usually happens if you change gear while dead. Especially gear that has AR on it.

Yeah controllers can work. Actually I use both a controller and a mouse at the same time. For me it works great and it’s more natural to use the controller for things like movement, jump, dodge and auto run. Then using naga for everything else. But in regards to OP no we won’t see GW2 in a console

Obviously this guy is a troll. No post history. Actually I recall an account called “Rage” doing another troll thread a couple weeks ago but don’t remember the thread itself to find it. Apparently by the responses he is pretty good at trolling. Only a few people noticed it.

GG “Rage”. But next time you may want to choose a different account name like Furious or something.

Divix.7328:

Would it be a bad idea to submit a ticket asking to have an item skin unlocked (assuming you have the right amount of HoM points)? Has anyone tried this? Or would this be a misuse of customer support? I’ll be finishing my 10 HoM points tonight and would love to get my FDS

I wouldn’t do that. There’s tons of people waiting so I’m 99.99% sure they won’t do it because if they do that for you they would have to do that for everyone else and it would overwhelming. Plus there is suppose to be a fix “soon”

Best part are the random mesmer portals that drop you into lava or if it’s a skilled Mesmer they drop you off the cliff to death.

legendary crafting mastery…. YW

The combat system just doesn’t mesh well with the Trinity. Personally I like the Trinity and playing games like final fantasy that have it. But you have to admit it just doesn’t work with current game mechanics. I think we could also agree that there would have to be some major over hauling to get this to work. Such as reducing or limiting dodge as well as current #6 skills across all professions.

I worry if anet goes this route they will struggle to actually implement this correctly. Trying out revenant gives a good idea about how this can go wrong. I can see how revenant had the “Trinity” but it’s very washed out and very ineffective.
