Guild Wars 2

Djemo.7153:

Haha, HAHAHHAHAHAHA!
Ive done more than 70 runs, no jetpack.

Also ive stumbled upon a most fun thing ever!
Since ive decided to take a list of the thing i get ive noticed that for the last 25 runs ive gotten the same things.
Everything the same, for 25 runs… you cant even imagine the rage and insanity, nothing is even changing.

What kind of rigged bullkitten is this Anet?
Ive spent so much time in this, pulling so much dead weight, soloing Fred an Barney more times than i want to recall due to useless puggies.

And i get the middle finger.
Im going to continue to run this as i do normally, but not cause i hope anything will change no.

I made a game out of seeing how many ritual bags i can stack up till this dungeon is over.
You know how much i have atm?!
199 hvy ritual and 232 hvy mining bags!
^this is the only thing keeping me in your crummy RNG infested hellhole of a dungeon.

you sir, win the internets! Toasts for a Week in the name of Djemo!!!

Getting heated in here, I think a fight might break out if you aren’t careful!

In all seriousness, it’s one item you’re going to miss out on.. but not everyone will miss out, so don’t worry! Yet again people making such a big deal over the little things…

We make a big deal because we want the item but can’t get it due to luck not being on our side. They had it right when they made SAB, so they should of known to do it again that way. but no, Anet doesn’t think.

One could argue that they had it in development before SAB, but then one could counter that with wintersday. They had it right then too since you were able to get the weapon skins through the jumping puzzle tokens..

All we want is a way to get the stuff they make for our characters, and all Anet wants is to make it as kittening difficult as possible to get anything in this game. A guy in one of my guilds has been trying to get a legendary for 4 months and still hasn’t gotten one, I’ve ran molten facility almost 20 times and nothing.. I’m going to be running it until the event is over and probably not get it still.. Oh and I heard a rumor that someone bought ALL the JP’s and put them up for more money..

The little things matter dude. It can turn people off of a game completely.

I applied 3 ruins to my necromancer a couple minutes ago and it said that I then had 6 of them on my armor. I have 3 of the same ones on my pvp armor. I went to WvW to test the rune’s out to see if I had any extra increases to my character’s stats, and it does not add the extra three stats, but it does display them in the mouse-over info window.

Also, I have a fourth one on my water mask, and its counting it as a 7th one in the info window.

Cynic.9327:

I wouldn’t see why not. You put the same amount of time and effort into it, as if you would do it daily with only 1 character. The only difference is that you get your skins faster than as if you were to do it daily. If this was not allowed, they would make baubles soulbound & unable to put in the bank.

I already got 2 skins myself, and the box only has been out a couple days.

well, i think,

if use the baubles bubbles for skin, i think they (anet) dun mind.

earlier, i heard (read) people said (typed and posted in gw2 official forums) that there will be a hot fix soon.

they were referring to the moto 2nd tab items
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Moto

basically these items
Obsidian Shard 1
Crystal 1
Philosopher’s Stone (6) 1

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Obsidian_Shard
Cost 2,100 karma
3 per 3 laurels
15 fractal relic

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Crystal
3 skill point per 5

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Philosopher%27s_Stone
1 skill point per 10

say if i take about 10 – 15 mins to clear zone 1 via creating & deleting new asura warrior, add 3 – 5 more mins to clear zone 2 as well,

assuming i take on average
10 – 15 minutes to get 2 baubles bubbles from clearing zone 1 only
i can redeem:
Obsidian Shard x2 worth 4,200 karma

if i spend
20 – 30 minutes to get 4 baubles bubbles, i can redeem:
Philosopher’s Stone x12 worth 1.2 skill point?

if i spend
30 – 45 minutes to get 6 baubles bubbles, i can redeem:
Crystal x6 worth 1.2 skill point?

i think their (anet) concern is getting x2 obsidian shard under 10 – 15 minutes which is worth 4,200 karma.

i dun think i can farm 4,200 karma under 10 – 15 minutes.

The only way I can see them ‘fixing’ this is account-binding the puzzle. which would ruin the replay value of the event all together. If people want to farm, then they should be allowed to.

As the title says, its a training target. No commendations awarded, just influence for the guild, and possibly loot if it drops.

My guild is small, not enough members to complete it by ourselves, and most people I tried to get to help earlier left because it wasn’t rewarding enough(no tokens, no help T_T). If anyone is willing to help, send me in in-game whisper.

also, we are on sea of sorrows.

I’ve seen challenges, treks and puzzles unlocked already.. dunno how much from them though.

Unless there is a bug somewhere nobody has enough merits to unlock challenges or puzzle yet because of the weekly cap on merits.

I’m telling you I’ve seen the puzzle unlocked and activated. I sat outside the puzzle entrance waiting for people to show up lol.

I’ve seen challenges, treks and puzzles unlocked already.. dunno how much from them though.

If you need help finding or finishing them, add me and send me a message in-game. I know most of the puzzles and don’t mind lending a hand to help.

The Cats Who Perhaps [Meow] is a Small guild looking for more members. We have some upgrades but we are working towards guild missions(we have Guild Bounty Training ready). Whisper me in game (IGN: Floyd Hunter) or pm me here if interested!

We are located on Sea of Sorrows.

Claudia De Anar.6304:

You mean being constantly broke isn’t fun, imagine that … personally I prefered the DP in GW1 to the money sink taking a hit in this game is, even if you dont die and warp to a waypoint; the constant armor repair tarriff is real money sink.

Honestly I would much prefer a small subscription fee, to having to spend real money on game money so Im not always broke. The Economy in this game is not an improvement vs GW1.

So because your lazy you would suggest a small sub fee, cause you are already spending real world money on gems to make into gold, because your too lazy to go out and do an activity for an hour???

Look I am not a farmer, I don’t spend but maybe 45 minutes to an hour a day in trying to actually make gold. Between everything I do in the maybe 4 hours I play I still make 30 gold a day. The economy in this game is the most balanced I have seen in any game including Guild wars, then again I guess you have to understand the Economical theory they are using to understand that.

if you are making 30 gold in four hours, do tell us your techniques, because that sounds nearly impossibru.

Scar.1793:

QQ I hate this game because my class sucks.

Yea me too mate, but I don’t play engie.

My main is a necro.. plus its a love-hate thing.. not just hate.. lol

Sure I like the positives; the culling finally gone from wvw, the titles finally being seen on other’s, the answer towards small guild’s not getting to do guild missions(which is great and all, but there are still issues that could be looked at imo), but with great additions comes equally great ‘wtf are you doing anet’ moments..

Engineers; you are stuck to the ideal’s of ANet if you want to be viable. You we’re too powerful with the insane amount of damage and survivability you have. Obviously you the engi had to be nerfed back down from being impossible to kill no matter what build you we’re using.. oh and solo tanking came easy to you right? ..oh wait, that was warrior’s and thieves..

Thanks ANet for the turret buff, as if any engineer would actually use those outside a possible farming of bandit butter setup(which would of worked very well had butter’s DR not been nerfed.. wow.. complaining about a silly thing like that.. lol cuz it’s not like butter is req. for anything in cooking right?).

Hell has been rained down on engineer.. but that’s not the only bad thing about this patch:

Let’s put in weapon skins that look awesome, but let’s add a little RNG into the mix and make it so you can only get them by getting the token req. for it via BLC’s. Which are already proven to be a pretty bad way to get anything. I mean, yeah, I’m gunna make a character to farm key’s from the level 10 story mission and all, and it will take a hell of a lot of time to do that, but I’ve read a lot of complaints already about people buying like 100 keys and getting no tokens, and another one who sold their dusk to buy 150 key’s and get nothing.

‘Oh but you can get keys from drops..’

Drops you say? hmm. this is true. I did get one back when the game launched.. and one the other week.. that’s all though..

I have an idea! make the keys tradable instead of account bound. The price would fluctuate for a while, but eventually it would settle, but that’s to be expected. besides, ANet, you could just go in and change the price like you did with ecto/unid dyes if it got too low/too high.

what else is bugging me with the game.. necromancers can be substituted by any other class for any build they have, DR is horrible, remove it because with it, its nearly impossible to get anything. You don’t want player’s farming your game but you want people playing your game. MMO’s ALWAYS have farmer’s. hell, just look at Cursed Shore’s on any server and you will still see that. The Few, The Patient, The Dedicated Farmer. It’s probably because of this that no one does Balthazar on SoS anymore. I NEVER see that waypoint uncontested anymore.. T_T

Additions that would help improve this game:

1. bring back KR for engineers, but change the skill that made it OP to either less grenades or maybe less powerful grenades that possibly. with the cd that was on it each of the skills already, the trait really didn’t need that much of a nerf.. imo..

2. Remove DR. Yes, I understand that it’s there so we don’t have botter’s but we the community helped you in that case. There will always be botters/gold sellers, but DR hurts the community more then the botters/gold sellers, who mind you, sell gold for multiple games, not just GW2.

3. Actually help the small guilds out. The bounty training is a start, a step in the right direction, but only one step. How about dynamically scaling the amount of influence needed/required for upgrades determined on the amount of people representing. I know, you probably will say something like, ‘Oh but that would be so hard to make because the system.. this.. the game that.. and we can’t because it would put stress on the blah blah blah..’ Really? would it honestly put that much effect on it? You are already calculating how much influence is added via who’s repping, so how hard would it be to scale the influence needed? ah but thinking about it, the bigger guilds would just get access to content faster right? well maybe put some sort of cd on it so they can’t, like, have everyone not rep for an hour or so, so the count drops and the influence amount drops, activate and then rep..

A cd of like, 3 day’s could stop that. That seem’s to be ANet’s magic number, 3 day’s for bounty training, 300 influence needed for 3000 influence.. Even if big guilds did the no rep for less influence needed, that would mean NO influence gained in that time. 3 days is a long time not to rep after all…

oh and don’t get me started on the difficulty to gain any sorta cash in this game..

idk, I think I’m going to stop playing for a while.. maybe I’ll go play skyrim and watch TES:O vids.. or play Eve or something.. I love gw2 and all, but each patch brings more issues then stuff I’ll enjoy.. but that’s fine right? they said they don’t care if one person stops playing or not because they can just come back whenever they feel like doing so..

yeah..

it’s so sad that this video mad me laugh so much..

I laughed, then sighed..

hasn’t been for a while too my knowledge..

help? anyone? =[

So I’ve never bought anything other the dye, one booster and one heavy supply bag from the laural vendor. I’ve always thought it was under construction, but only recently did I clue in(with the help of some guildies) that its actually bugged for me.

I sent an in-game report and was told to come to the forums for some help as well.

Awesome art! Would love to see my necro Floyd done up hanging with the priest of grenth! quite possibly hanging out over some ale. Floyd is an alehound, but not sure about that scrawny priest of grenth next to him ahaha

Hey my fellow necromancers!

Would you be so kind as to help a brother out?
I have spent the better part of the past 6 months trying to get this specific set of armor. It’s the Priest of Grenth armor. First time I saw it, it was a, “I have to have this..” moment.

So far, I’m 3/6 the way there, as seen below. I’ll provide a link to the actual look of the armor for those that may not know/want a reference.

Please, If you have any knowledge of said missing pieces, send me a pm here or mail me the info in-game or pm me in-game if I’m online. I’d greatly appreciate it!!!

Kay so, another look at my necro.

I just obtained the chest piece on another character and finally got him looking ever so closer to the Priest of Grenth

still missing:
legs
hands
feet

T_T sadly I have yet to see those armor’s in the game other then on the priests themselves..

Message was deleted due to it not having content.
So..

Yo forum bot, I heard you liked content, So I put content in my comment on a brilliant forum topic full of rich content..

That didn’t work out too well, but AT LEAST THIS IS GETTING Bumppped to the topppp!

Paulytnz.7619:

That’s cool and all but why carrots? lol….

The guild that made it did it up that way. lol

only too three attempts.. *cough*I didn’t die twice*cough*

this is a reason to get treasure trove.. 7k away from that and then I’ll be hosting chess matches in The Cats Who Perhaps [Meow] guild

MUST. KEEP. AT. TOP.

Vorch.2985:

• Can’t all the small guilds just band together?

• Or the 5 people in your guild join another guild all together? You’d still be in the same guild…

• Is it the name of the guild or the exclusivity of it that keeps the 5-man-or-less guild together? Does being part of something larger detract from your kinship?

• Can the guild stay together, but simply rep another guild on the side for the guild missions?

These are just things that come to mind, sorry.

There is a reason that we of the small guilds don’t simply do that. I’m not sure about others, but for my case, we formed bonds in gw1 and there was a bunch more there then. Others have yet to pick the game up or prefer to play gw1 over 2 due to certain mechanics not being towards their liking, thus dwindling our ranks.

Plus some of us in the small guilds have branched out to make our own side guilds for personal guild storage, which in itself takes a lot of influence too. But the main reason is as you say, kinship for the most part.

“We had a guild in gw1, we want to be in the same guild in gw2, so why should we be forced to represent another guild just because they have 500 people and all the unlocks? We are all close, really good friends, and though there isn’t a lot of us, we play the game actively and shouldn’t be penalized for said participation.”

That’s pretty much the thoughts I’ve had, and probably some of the people in my guild. These missions, though awesome, are going to make it even harder for those small guild that do want more people in their guilds. Everyone will rush to the bigger guilds for the rewards. Hell, that happens already to be completely honest.

I read this somewhere before, but perhaps an additional tree to use influence on for these missions would be better suited for the game.

Event over. No one found us =[

Plains of Ashford was the first hint.

Tip #2, it requires jumping

Didn’t glitch through a door, but nice try

Floyd Hunter and Embrace The Bold have teamed up on Sea of Sorrows to play the most epic game of hide & seek!

The rules are simple, First one to find us within one hour will get the prize!

Prize: 1 gold

Tip #1 We are somewhere in Plains of Ashford!!

Happy Searching!

I guess thats true, but still 21 gold seems like an awful lot for a lvl 17 green, even if its just for the skin.

No words other then ‘lol’ can describe this.

I think I can consider myself somewhere between a reaper/still dead and a shrouder/dead again. I know a bunch about both aspects of those parts of the game, but I wouldn’t consider myself an expert in either part.

Not to say I’m no good. My necro can face-tank a good portion of the game.

We did a dungeon run last night(I was Floyd Hunter). 5-man necro team is so op haha loved it! went soo well! We did HotW path 1 and CoE sub path, only managed to stream the first one though and apparently only got the boss fight at the end >.> which is weird since I started streaming at the start.

Start it from 55 seconds, its a little choppy until then. The people talking in the vid are me and some other guildies from other guilds.

Can’t wait to do more stuff like this! It was really fun!

Thanks for the invite into the guild

It’s been a LONG time since I theory-crafted my necro build before BWE1, but here is my up-to-date build as of today!

I present to you, The ‘Jack of all Trades’ Survivomancer(click for traits and weapon choices):

This is a build I came up with while leveling. It’s a very simple build that works really well when solo as well as really well in dungeons. Not so much in PvP however.

First and foremost, the Signet is situational in this sense: When solo, use locust, when grouping, use undeath. Obviously the locust one is for getting around when solo-ing but the undeath one is extremely useful in groups since there’s a good chance you will be the last one not in downed state.

Spectral Grasp: Sure, you are giving up some amount of dps for this skill, but honestly, this skill is one crazy kitten mother kittener of a skill! It can pull single enemies from groups without aggroing the entire group. In solo play, a SG can save you from having to always fight major encounters(even though with this build you would be able to stroll though them anyways).

Corrosive Poison Cloud: Weakness. Not just any weakness, AREA weakness. and Poison. Do I need to explain any further? Yeah? sigh Weakness makes enemies hit softer, poison makes them heal 33% less. I had this skill in my build way before I left MM for this one. Highly effective skill, and the pros far outweigh the cons.

Well of Blood: since this build is mostly derived around supporting you and your team, I thought this well would be a good idea, and so far has not proven me wrong. It’s saved plenty a team in fractals.

Lich form because its kittening OP as kitten! especially when a mesmer see’s you in it and casts Time Warp on you. ALL THE DAMAGE!!! Lich form + swiftness is 4x, FOUR TIMES STRONGER THEN THE STAFF! Keep that in mind since next to the dagger main hand, staff is your strongest weapon imo.

Traits: Increased bleed duration, greater marks(req.) Death Shroud buffs, faster signet recharge, siphon all the health when you hit kitten and faster recharge on your heal. All in all this is a GREAT build for any necro looking to fully support their team in any dungeon or keep themselves alive during Solo play.

May Grenth protect you! GL HF GG

PS: all armor and stat bonus’ I leave up to you the community. I can’t tell you how to play the game, but I can show you a really good build that’s worked for me for a long time. It’s not strong in any one section, but its not weak in any either. Its the Jack of all Trades Survivomancer build.

An ever-lasting process I got going on here..

Basically, since launch, I’ve been slowly trying to get him to look like a Priest of Grenth..
I’ve gotten the head and shoulder pieces but have been out of luck in the other areas. I did have the chest piece at one point but didn’t recognized it and threw it out.. T-T

Also having issues with the colours.. can’t figure out the right green or black, but I’m pretty sure I have the right grey.. somewhere..

where did you get the shoulders?

It was during halloween, bought them on the TP,. Deathly Bull’s Mantle. If you are lucky, their might still be some on there.

I know for a fact that this mantle is the Priest of Grenth mantle. Was soo happy when I saw it on the TP.

there is a trait, Idk if it works for fear, but it makes it so that anyone who cc’s you and is near you, becomes feared. It has a 90 second cd but it would deal with the skull fear. I believe its in death magic. Try it out and see if it works.

I agree with most of the comments in here, necro’s need some more utilities for gtfo of a bad situation.. sucks when everyone else can just blast though your DS and then proceed to kill you..

Is the name already made? Just thought of some as I was scrolling though this thread:

In DeathShroud We Trust
The League of Decomposing Gentlemen

actually that’s all I got lol.

An ever-lasting process I got going on here..

Bumping until implemented.

I’m currently in the process of adding more members to the roster.

As of now, the home server is Sea of Sorrows, But!!! we do have guild upgrades on both SoS and Fort Aspenwood, but the main one is SoS.

We have Guild Banks on both servers, eventually working towards the trove, but currently upgrading Art of War for WvW stuff.

The goal for the guild is as follows:

~Having fun.
~Dailys/Monthlys
~Fractal Dailys(either the full 7, example being level 13 then 14, or just the maw run)
~Dungeon running
~WvW, possibly claiming locations once Art of War is higher.

If interested, Message me in-game or leave a reply here.
~Floyd Hunter

needs more attention!!!

I’m looking for the Priest of Grenth’s armor’s. I’ve gotten a good portion figured out so far.

Head: Winged type? PvP Champion’s Helm
Shoulders: Halloween Bull skull
Chest: PvP Rubic Vest, don’t know pve equivalent.
Gloves: ???
Legs: ???
Feet: Winged type? PvP Champion’s Boots

This is full of too much win. Outstanding job, ANet REALLY needs to look at this and consider highly changing Orr into this.

I literally was going to log into the game and head to Orr after reading this, but then remembered how it currently is.. =[

ANET GODS! PLEASE CHANGE TO THIS FOR ORR!!!

Does anyone actually notice the lack in drops in general? Last night I went though a couple events in Cursed Shore. At first it was fine, but it wasn’t until half way though that all the enemies I was hitting, and I was hitting a lot of them, wasn’t dropping anything. It was in one of the farming locations, but I only did two of the events.

Idk, maybe I was just unlucky with my 103% MF..

Dondarrion.2748:

I’ll be buying ESO, but I’ll definitely play GW2 along side it, and if a worthy expansion comes along for GW2, I’ll definitely pay up!

It’s a great game – seeing some of the negativity in this thread from those saying ‘no’ with some sour-faced reason just makes me smirk at the naivety of some at their lack of understanding…

I’m with you with that one! It’d going to be hard to switch between the two, but none of the bad in the game outweighs the good. So excited for ESO, but just as excited for expansions. Even though we all know that there will be bugs, the content the expansions will bring.. >.< can’t wait, GIVE ME DERVISH! what, where did that come from?!

<.<

lol.

dunno where to post this lol so:

Kodin

We need a general section for like.. ANet sightings or something lol
talked to him after this, told him I liked the look of the hunter over preditor.

He had nothing to say lol. xD

Ruufio.1496:

Why are Necromancers forced to use “on kill” traits which are useless in PvP?

I don’t use on kill traits..

Oh glorious dev’s of Tyria, If trahearne can use a greatsword and is a necromancer by nature, does this in turn also mean my main(a necro) might in the future gain this ability?

Also, there’s been quite a lot of talk about this, but is there any chance we might see the current weapon system(i.e. put a weapon on, skills are there to use) be tweaked to maybe something like say.. as an example: warrior puts a sword on, gets those three default abilities, but also gets to change those abilities from 2-4 possible choices?

Because a lot of us agree that this would be an acceptable change. A well welcomed change.

P.S. Bring dervish’s back to Tyria as a playable class!!!

Just did this.. so annoying.. tanks kicking you from themselves.. mortars kicking you from themselves.. Charr weaponry at it’s finest, eh? >.>
