Has buying BL Chest Keys ever been worth it?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

It is now worth it for a select few who only lack a few very expensive skins and other stuff that they can now almost reliably get from the new wardrobe unlock item. Unless you’re one of them, it’s not worth it.

Think we'll get a rifle/FT buff Nov 21?

in Engineer

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

After all buffs FT received over the last 2 years, I feel like it doesn’t need buffs anymore, and that’s saying something considering that I camp it pretty much all the time in PvE. Yes, damage output is not ideal, but you can’t really compare it to neither melee weapons nor ranged weapons directly, considering its rather “hybrid” nature.

Making FT less clunky would have been nice though. Napalm ball getting stuck in the terrain, AA failing to hit enemies who are slightly above or below your primary target, that sort of thing.

Soo no quarterly update??

The hardest achievements

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

For PvE: Giant Slayer

I’m willing to accept that as the hardest PvE achievement, but I’ve been under the impression that something like Weapon Master: Shield, or Weapon Master: Focus would be more difficult.
Are there good ways to cheese those two, cause they’re taking me forever.

Ambient critters count for those achievements, so you can cheese it just by hanging around areas where lots of them spawn.

Warrior Ultimate - Head butt please rework

in Warrior

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

Look, it’s a berserker skill and it fits perfectly with the theme of a frenzied brawler who uses anything he can to beat the everliving kitten out of the enemy. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to use it. You don’t have to take the Berserker line at all, if you see your char as a battlefield tactician who never loses his cool.

Your request is simply unreasonable. It’s like saying, “my necromancer is not evil, so can you rework all the grimdark skills to be light and fluffy”.

Definitely. Chak eggs and reclaimed metal plates (they’re not a crafting component as such!) also deserve a mention.

I’ve completed it a few days ago, and I’ve seen others in chat saying it’s on. So it’s definitely not bugged completely. It just appears rarely and the chain has to be completed way beforehand.

If you want to get into replicas as well i would recommend gyros.

They would be about as effective as the “real deal”.

And if you put them in your pocket they certainly stick to you better than the originals.

For extra authenticity make them out of folded paper.

There’s an entire page of threads dedicated to the likes of you whining. Why can’t you leave completely unrelated and actually interesting threads alone?

AKA the Asura male player voice. His lines don’t ever feel old to me, and I’ve heard them a million times. “Infuriating!” even still occasionally makes me smile, it’s delivered so perfectly. I don’t know how he does it. Bravo.

(Well, maybe I’ve heard “I feel six feet tall” a few too many times, it’s the only line that sort of annoys me sometimes. But it’s more due to the joke that got old so long ago than to the voice actor)

What dyes are your favorites?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

All those blue dyes that seem to give… extra texture to stuff or something. Shiver Sky is the prime example. I don’t really know what’s going on with them, but they really change the way stuff looks.

Although my main is using Charcoal and Black Cherry.

It’s actually Poobadoo. He’s been hiding in plain sight, walking around Kessex Hills (why do you think the area always gets the short end of the stick?) and licking people’s faces just to build up an appetite.

New Weapons or Elite Spec What Do You Prefer?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

Yeah, new weapons will probably never happen, and I don’t really care about them, tbh. The one feasible addition could be giving some of the underwater weapons a use on land, since they already have a lot of skins for them. It’s been discussed on the forums to death as well, but it’s still unlikely.

Let's talk Explosives

in Engineer

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

On grandmaster trait choices, Shrapnel is literally a pray2rngesus trait that has very little to do with direct damage and is directed entirely at nades/bombs. It makes more sense for it to be moved to adept firearms and move Rifled Barrels to Explo.

That makes zero sense. I mean, what? Why move a trait that explicitly deals with explosives to the line that has nothing to do with them? I’m also not exactly sure about the second part, what with Rifled Barrels being a defunct trait that’s not in the game at all anymore.

Home instance buried locked chest?

Because everything about Dry Top has to be a major pain. Exploring, searching for randomly placed chests that only appear for a time, pitiful geode gains, amber RNG, needing an active map to get good deals from merchants, the crazy dream that is favor level 6… Everything.

Black Lion Claim Ticket

So hey, I accidentally double-clicked the claim ticket in my inventory today… and it brought up the shop window with all the latest BL skin sets. I don’t know if that’s a new feature ANet sneaked into the game, or it’s been like that for ages, but boy do I feel stupid now having wasted time travelling to BL merchants in the past in order to buy skins and combine scraps…

Most Disliked LS Bosses?

in Living World

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

AERIN by a mile. No, by a thousand miles.

Reason 1: I’m okay with jumping and I’m okay with fighting (duh). But my reaction times are not great, so it takes me a few seconds to “readjust” from jumping to fighting and vice versa. That boss battle barely gives me the time. I jump to his platform and he knocks me back down before I get a chance to go into “battle mode” and deal much damage.

Reason 2: The fight is at the end of a long and boring instance, and the fight itself takes a lot of time… which wouldn’t be much of a problem, but it’s also the only battle that crashed my game TWICE, and I absolutely dreaded doing it on an alt.

Windmane was actually a walkover on my second playthrough with a celestial engi. Remember that while you have to fight as Caithe, your stats and traits are still your own. So beef up your build with some defensive attributes, traits and whatnot. Caithe’s OP abilities will still pack a decent punch, but you also won’t die so much.

HoT Legendaries: FutureTP options?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Ariurotl.3718

Ariurotl.3718

Indeed, I wouldn’t expect them to ever become tradable. Having a HoT legendary means you’ve actually earned it the hard(er) way, and not just with mommy’s magic credit card or by mindlessly grinding whatever gold mine is most profitable at the moment.

Of course, that’s more applicable to the four “journey” legendaries rather than the new mace and future items.

Another reason why they’re not tradeable is to bar people who don’t own HoT from acquiring them.

We’re going crazy – collecting Unbound Magic, Bloodstone, dealing with Anomalies, etc. Look at what it did to the White Mantle in Bloodstone Fen.

Yeah, I found it a bit ironic and unsettling when Bloodstone Fen just opened and everyone was basically farming the same stuff that twisted all those people. I’m not sure how intentional on the part of ANet it was.

"New" items in the TP

Ariurotl.3718

I think the OP means the gemstore items. They’re marked as “new” when they’re re-introduced after a hiatus. It is a bit weird sometimes, like with the molten gathering tools that have been away for only a month or so, I think.
