They are already upgraded. The only thing you can add to them is infusions which give very minor increases to stats. Wiki ascended trinkets and it and it tells you all this.

Interesting idea but I think it would be a waste of resources to go implement this. Really if someone has to run to you then you might as well waypoint it would be just as fast most of the time or faster than waiting. Also if someone is already there rezing you it does give you a prompt when you enter the map that someone is doing so that you don’t WP out if it’s faster to wait for the Rez. I also think trolls would use this feature then never Rez the guy, which would waste his time, and most people would then just ignore the added feature because it could be a troll. Nice idea though.
No one knows. I just sell them.
I have more trouble playing with people playing the game than enjoying playing the game, that’s all.
Then start a casuals only lfg. But then expect it to take awhile.
Most likely you will be grouped with people from your server on the mega server. To ensure this make sure your friends are on your home server, or not in that zone, as well as your guild mates, since the grouping also takes these factors into consideration.
Then make sure your recruitment message says what server you are on. Imo depending on your server you are better off joining a Wvw guild yourself rather than trying to start from scratch but that is just my opinion and I’m not sure how many members or what your reputation is in wvw to really comment on that fully. But good luck to you.
Yuck. We don’t have enough. More please.
I got another theory:
That t-shirt is totally unrelated to guild wars.
Its just a polo shirt with a polo player on it.
I’m sorry, but I will have to shoot this theory down. Everything within a Guild Wars stream is intended to be relative to the Guild Wars universe…..
I agree. If he didn’t want to accidentally send a message to the players through his clothing he simply would have went shirtless. This was totally on purpose.
I have eternity. Nobody cares. I don’t even care. I also have bolt and kudzu and meh
Hoping this gets merged with the abyss mount thread. This is exactly what that thread is missing: real evidence.
I heard they broke it with an update and don’t have the resources to fix it. That was mentioned some time ago now tho. And I am definitely too lazy to find the source. We can hope but not going to get excited about it.
I think if you added up all the time it took to write all these posts (that won’t have any real impact on the game) that time investment would easily add up to the time it takes to make at least one legendary.
WVW
Ele and guard are both great. I don’t think engi does so great here.Engi is an excellent Roamer class with great conditions, great sustain, permanent swiftness and great escapes. It does suffer in Zergs, however.
Yeah I was thinking more serving. Roaming I equivocate more to PVP as in its the same more or less.
I would go guard if I were you.
PVE
The engi highest DPS rotation is crazy. It’s way too much Button smashing.
Ele has the highest DPS in game but it dies easily.
Guard has nice support and it requires some skill in like placing your wall of reflection or when to use shield of avenger. But overall it is an easy class.
PVP
Engi offer great support and celestial engi is a good bunker. It still requires lots of button smashing.
Ele also offers great support but it’s rather difficult to master
Guard offer nice support and isn’t that hard to master
WVW
Ele and guard are both great. I don’t think engi does so great here.

It doesn’t get deleted unless you are deleting that character. It costs some silver to switch back to it at any time assuming you aren’t fleeting your character, and just want to have more than 2 crafts on one character.
I’m confused. There was just a thread titled the same as this thread. It was merged into another thread that was titled almost the same. And now this thread which is a bit older. So many threads on this. If you don’t like it don’t join it on the lfg is my opinion on the matter.
I didn’t read most of the thread but if you die at VW, most likely you’re pretty bad and you are going to be dieing again shortly. If everyone that knows how to stay alive keeps rezzing the baddies you’re going to lose. Of course there are times I’ve died at VW, bad luck happens but more often than not the people that know the mechanics stay alive. You also have to take into account the DPS loss the alive person is doing to Rez. Also rezzing the dead guy may mean you missing rezzing the downed guy. Or the dead guys on top of the downed guys issue.

I meant if you DC and come back. So from what I gather is your timer would reset and you would have to wait another 30 mins. Even if you DC at 25 mins, come back to the same party and instance, and then have the timer reset to 30 again.
I’m really not gonna bother posting again this won’t happen. It is way too complicated and Anet just wouldn’t do this for something that isn’t broken. They aren’t dumping their resources into implementing something like this, this would take a lot of work for something that already works.
Anyway good luck with this.
Edit: I think you miss understood my post. As I see it there is no time penalty “now” except for reset daily. Your system implements a time penalty every 30 mins either from when the time the dungeon opens (in that case people could sell dungeons that sit for 20ish mins) or from the time the person enters (in this case you have the DC issue where someone DCs at 25 mins and comes back to re enter and have the full 30 mins penalty again). Either way it is too complicated.
(edited by Andraus.3874)
right now I have plenty of gold and only dungeon for dungeoneer. Only like 30 skins away. This suggestions screws over people going for tokens. Not to mention it would be very complicated to implement. What if you DC? What if you buy a path? What if someone leaves half way through? Does the new person only take half the time penalty? I would see people taking alt accounts and opening the dungeon, letting it sit for 20ish mins then bringing people in or even selling the dungeon that hasn’t even started but has sat for 20 mins.
The solution is to just roll berserker (no offense).
Don’t do it.
Actually Theif has more than 3 skills per main hand weapon.
I think they mean this coming fall. It would make sense since HoT will be out and these items will get thrown into the gem store on a rotation. The new player base will be more likely to buy them then on a re introduce, rather than just having them sit in the gem store all the time.
First off this isn’t a complaint, just the borderline constructive rants which bounce around inside my noggin.
I leveled a female human Guardian in the hopes of having a viable healer. Heavy zodiac torso and legs, glowing carapace gloves, shoulders and boots, devil horns and light of dwayna on back – white hair, gold theme and the glowing carapace parts can be made to match the galaxy blue of the zodiac pieces exactly with specific colors (not the ones you would think. End result, she looks pretty kitten celestial – with out equipping the celestial stats of course.
I’m wondering if I should delete her to re-level a healing human female revenant. It all comes down to which one heals better. The floating tablet of ventari’ness sounds promising, requiring people to actively move to get healing I’m not sure of. While “active” healing will likely heal more for then passive healing, its unlikely people will go to the effort to get it.
Need to balance that off against the novelty of having a Sylvari who can troll Ventari.
No healers in this game sorry… If you really like healing you could level Ele. I mean you still go full berserker but there’s been lots of times I’ve saved people from blasting my water fields. Though a good player won’t require healing since their self heal and evades will keep them alive.
Just sell them. I don’t see them becoming salvageable.
Because it would be OP.
Even it’s a OOC thing, it’d still be insanely OP in PVP and WvW.
Leaving combat is a very easy thing to do.
Granting 40 skills to Ele in SPVP is a no-no.
Yeah I already do this…. At first I was going to defend you on thinking you may have meant un/ranked where currently utilities and weapons get locked in (and I would argue it should stay this way for that particular mode(s). But then you went and specifically said sPVP where we already change weapons all the time while OCC with a simple couple fast clicks.
Meta is what makes group “gel” or at least more likely to function. Of course there’s lots of other variables to that but meta is a big one. And yeah it’s a mmo…
Edit: the only ascended gear that is worthwhile from fractals are the rings. If you want actual ascended armor or weapons you’re much better off crafting it. Don’t bother trying to farm it from fractals you will only have disappointment. If it’s too expensive for you to level those crafts you will still craft a full set by dungeon grinding gold out, leveling the craft, and crafting a full set before you ever get anything other than some defender chests of ascended boots helms or shoulders.

Just no, for the obvious reasons others have stated.
Maybe if sticky thread was at the top or bottom of the list of threads and had ALERT or SCAM in caps it might catch more people’s attention and this wouldn’t get posted like two time a day.
I haven’t noticed this then again I’m only logging on like every 4 days or so to run a couple fractals. I get exotic drops now during fractals rather consistently since I don’t run them every day. I went a solid 7 months+ running 50s before that and didn’t get any exotics after a week into it. I also get about twice as many rares. People say this is RNG and if it is that’s fine with me. But salvaging for ectos I’m still getting on average 1.5ish per rare.

Within a week? I can solve this for you. Simple don’t buy anything until a Tuesday. 95%+ of the time this is when sales are going to occur if they are going to happen. Then by the next week the sale will be over or maybe something else will be on sale. But as long as you buy on Tuesday you won’t have to worry about it.
Because it’s so much better if the item goes on sale after 8 days.
Sorry I was being somewhat sarcastic. The Op’s problem is just life. That is how it works in real life too. Although it’s still better to buy on a Tuesday rather than like Monday just incase for this reason.

The current one isn’t too terrible. It’s not amazing but it works for the most part. I’d rather see resources going else where. The only thing that really needs adjusted is the joining too many parties issue and then being blocked out of the lfg. Other than that it’s ok.
GW2 endgame can be defined in many ways. Depending on what content you are doing there are better classes suited for that content. With that of course comes different levels of skill needed for that class.
Generally speaking this is most concerning for PvE because this is where you are scaled up scaled to 80 or automatically 80. In PvE the hardest current content is fractals. I’ve run almost every profession on 50 fractals and have over 2000 total runs so I can speak to this rather well.
The most accepted classes in fractals and dungeon running in general for their support/damage and overall speed are:
Most sought: Elementalist, Warrior, Guardian, Theif.
Second: Ranger, Mesmer, possibly Engi
Third: Necromancer, Engi
It’s hard to place Engi and most don’t like necro because of its lack of support. Here are some examples of the classes I play the most and how they are useful.
Mesmer has nice utility and a really good Mesmer can pull their weight but most don’t have the skill to do this. For example a good Mesmer will taking down defiance stacks quickly for ice bows and pulling mobs into groups as well using full uptime reflect. This can be done by using mantra of distraction and your F3 skill. You require some skill but mostly knowledge of where to place the curtain so pull mobs together or when to time certain reflects (for example I can reflect all of arch diviners projectiles with using feedback and curtain, but I only ever see a handful of other mesmers who try to do this). Portal can also be useful especially for pug groups. Lastly your boon striping can be helpful such as in ascalon fractal where mobs constantly have 25 stacks of might. Your survivabilty is amazing. Between distortion and blurried frenzy and a much higher HP pool than Ele, you won’t have too much trouble living as long as you know when to use your skills.
Ele offers some of the best support while also offering the highest DPS. You can have permanent fury uptime with fire field blasting as well as nice might stacking. Your water fields can be life savers for the party. Chill field Is great in shaman fractal… And of course there is ice bow. Ele itself is not that hard to play. Staff Ele has a rather simple rotation that anyone can pick up in 10 mins with some practice. However the reason everyone says to avoid it as a new player is the HP pool. If you do not know what attacks to dodge you will die a lot. Even then you can expect to be dieing on a fairly regular basis. The HP is so low that most hard hitting attacks will one shot you.
Warrior is by far the easiest class. It offers the most support with the least amount of effort. Warriors have the highest HP pool and endure pain and your greatsword evade which when used correctly can be a life saver for the rest of the group with war banner. A PS and EA warrior helps your party maintain permanent 25 stacks of might. These traits are phalanx strength and empowered allies and found in the toughness line. As well as using banners you have great support.
Guardian is the class that really is needed no matter what your party comp is. Yes you can get away without one but it will be harder. A good guardian however requires a good anount of skill. I would place good guardian’s skill level near that of a mesmer’s, if not a little harder/higher. You need to know when to use wall of reflection, shield of avenger, stability utilities and how to do a proper aegis/block rotation. Your survivabilty is decent however you HP pool is almost half of a warriors. You make up for this in toughness and utility. Your damage is also great. But if you mess up any of your utility’s (especially forgetting to use wall of reflection or in some cases stability) your party will wipe. And if you can’t figure out how to do it expect someone to vote to kick. Although most people will help you figure it out.
I could go into more detail on other classes if you like but I am heading to bed. This is just my two cents and these are my opinions but i have considerable fractal experience which a lot of PVEers consider sort of endgame outside dynamic areas such kitten which then is doesn’t matter what you go as.

I’ve literally vendored hundreds of them. Or just toss them out I’d I’m not near a vendor. Kind of doubt this will change unfortunately.
I think the people who use them don’t play with sound on.
I am 200th post
Edit. Someone one just deleted 38 posts. But it still counts.
Also teq doesn’t fly. Just Mesmer magic.
Race does matter.
If you pick Norn or Charr there are quite a number of spots in the game you will have a very hard time in due to the model size and poor design on A-Nets part. you will get stuck quite a bit.
In contrast, I know of only 2 spots in the entire game where there are jumps which Asuras can not make but all the other races can, and no spots whatsoever that humans get stuck on.
Actually the hit boxes are all the same size. As in a char can go anywhere an asura can go. And with the camera update larger races can adjust their camera for jumping puzzles to make it easier to see.
Race doesn’t matter much. Some people find playing larger races feel like they run slow (charr and somewhat norn) they obviously aren’t running slower but it feels that way which can be annoying.
Also asura being smaller means it’s harder to see their armor and weapons.
You may also want to check out heavy cultural armor for each race. Slyvari have cool glow and can look really cool if done right. The human cultural armor also looks really Paladine like. That is really what you want to consider when choosing a race.
I agree there’s nothing to be done about it.
On a side note I find role playing boring for this very reason. If I was role playing and this happened to me I would find it interesting if a druken norn came along and discuss him and even try to get him to interact in the role play then. Then if not create a plan to find another bar where there’s less annoying drunk Norns. I like to be creative about stuff like that. But I notice most role players seem to engage in boring chat and emotions that I don’t have the attention span for.
Do world completion first. Any areas you are missing for explorer completion will be pointed out on that character if you zone into every zone. The missing area will be dintinguished by a little explorer man who looks like he is hiking.
This is much easier to do than previously. Before you had to do world completion then zone into every zone and compare the map’s named areas to the wiki maps. That was a huge pain. I’m sure there is a thread somewhere too about the most commonly missed areas. It usually is a jumping puzzle area that you are missing.
I would like to see more mount like items such as the riding broom. Except something bigger and cooler.
Currently Ele is better than war for meta groups. Meta is 2 Ele and one war. It has higher DPS and offers more utility such as water fields. It also gives permanent fury and nice might stacks.
There’s a few small ways to ‘troll’ people in-game that aren’t too offensive.
There’s been a couple jokers dropping the aviator’s memory box on anything lots of people need to use – The bank or TP, bandit chests in SW etc. Probably a good laugh for them, caused a bit of raging though. Mesmers sometimes do something similar with the portal.
Of course, even those minor inconveniences can drive some players up a wall.
Yeah, I know. I’ve seen people drop items such as merchants on top of meta boss chests as well as on top of other services such as a trading post or bank. The ones on top of a trading post/bank are ignorable as there are other places to go and those services aren’t limited in time. Dropping one on top of a boss chest is another thing and one of the reasons why trolling is considered essentially malicious in nature.
just click on the edge of the chest press f =win? or do they drop several on a row so it is unclickable?
You can’t drop multiple too close to each other it gives an error. Yes clicking on the Trade post npc or the chest will give you the prompt you want. I guess it does confuse some people.
Meta: A Poem
Meta was created in a pizzeria. By a man in North Korea who had an idea. He knew he could make a panacea, for all the the crappy builds that were diarrhea. Meta will destroy all this necro gonorrhea. And make eles and warriors like hot tortillas. Meta made berserkers kill faster than cheetahs. Meta also goes well with margaritas. So roll that meta out with all the chicas. Cause everything else is just emphysema.
Meta.
Dude sorry necros are basically zombies and kinda freaky. Please stay away.
People used to do the same thing with CoE years ago to avoid having to fight up to the golem each time. Your best bet to stop this is to email Anet at exploits@arena.net with any information regarding how it’s done.
That’s already been done. There’s several posts describing how it is done and those threads were not closed from what I saw. they just don’t have the resources to fix it without also breaking something else. If they cared they would at least make a post about how you shouldn’t do it or risk getting banned. If they cared a lot they would close AC down till it was fixed like HoM
It’s probably his alt account trolling for fun.
My opinion … They don’t care. It’s been posted over and over they know about it. If they cared they would have done something by now.
I figured it out.The Real end game in GW2 is…. Drum roll…..
Forum Trolling
Mechanics:
*For every troll post you get 1 point.
*For every page past page 1 the thread goes, you get 1 point.
*For every person you can trick into believing your position you get 1 point.
*For every 5 points you level up. Ranging from fairy tale troll to LOTRs troll to finally legendary troll (there’s various levels in between)
*Being the first person to successfully derail the thread which leads to its closure gets you 1 point.
*If you get a dev response you win and instantly get legendary troll status.
Am I right?
