Where are my free dungeon tokens from the achievement chests?
I found 30/20/0/0/20 better for DPS, seeing as it is all basically fire.
I am still curious how Water Blast will work now in practise. 750+ small AoE heals are not exactly bad for sustained fights, though the tiny AoE might still drag it down to non-viability.
Hmmmn….Blasting Staff should be baked in.
Has anyone tried or tested a fully dedicated staff healing build? Water Blast actually heals for a significant amount now.
A 100% price drop means it is now free. Awesome.
Oh, not leg skins.
What is flamming?
Agreed. We have a plan for doing something like this that we’ll have more info on later. Right now we have to get it tested and do all the other things before we can be sure it is what we’d want.
Can we get like an ETA of when it will be available in 2014? Dont need specifics, Maybe like which quarter?
Zing.
For some reason it hadn’t gotten through my head that other servers with stronger Oceanic presence would suppress SoS’s Oceanic, which was their only way to gain points on us normally.
We might not get last place in this. Mixed feelings.
That has always been the way. Mag just need to attack SoS and only SoS during Oceanic times, and they will get second. Of course this means you are playing for second…
I bought my Pyre dye for 60g a few months back. It is great for the Phoenix armour, and it looks like a really nice gold on my human cultural light armour.
It needs 2 forms. One, where if you have something targeted it teleports you to them instantly, and deals damage; and two, where you have nothing selected and it acts as the current travel one. The first form would trigger a 15 second cooldown, the second a 30 second one.
I don’t understand what the problem is. All the BL’s are the same; does it really matter what color you are? Is the problem because of those JP achievements and map completion?
Eternal Battleground also.
Elementalist – 9 second base attunement, Arcana trait changed.
They should have alternated starting spots each week. Good luck to those without world completion…
Pretty weak, Anet.
At least SoS will have one server to kill, then.
SoS spends more time on the forums than actually in WvW. I see Maguuma taking care of them easily.
No one spends more time than Maguuma on the forums.
At least SoS will have one server to kill, then.
I smell price manipulation. :P
One of the dumbest posts I have ever seen. It is a soulbound vendor item.
Use Meteor Shower, then right after using it, use Tornado. Tornado doubles your Power and Precision.
Wow…never thought of this.
This was the dungeon where we entered the portal at the shattered Lion statue in LA. Is it returning? I really liked it.
It probably should be. It is pretty much the same as selling blues, greens and ectos.
Glad to hear that it was just misinformed players that were feeding me false information and that it is now cleared up. Still, 10k is a lot to grind for nevertheless.
And I understand where you are coming from, but my concern still yet stands. A storm was a brewin’. A mighty big one. Once it was noticed, a simple “this is not right, we are looking into this” would of calmed it. I get that you have to report to your superiors about it first, and that’s fine. But during all the wait time of trying to find out the issue, a little note to the players is something that is needed to reassure them that this issue is being investigated.
With the negative attitude that the players on these forums have had towards the company, in my opinion, it just seems like a high priority to inform them as soon as possible when an issue like this arises to keep the storm from escalating any further, and to show the players that they are being heard over big concerns like this.
Seriously, no apology? You went off half baked off second hand information and Linsey did an excellent job of kindly explaining it to you and still nothing?
I know it sounds simple to jump on and make a quick post but I am glad that they prioritised and like Linsey said, made sure no poor soul purchased it. At the end of the day, we are talking about a 1 day turn around here, not a week into the content. I would say that is pretty darn good.
Excuse me? The official Anet patch notes that they post on this very site are ‘second hand information’ now, and referring to them makes something ‘half-baked’?
I think YOU should apologise to him.
No, he/she was saying that the price for the recipes were incorrect in game, which they never were. It was only ever a typo in the patch note. You would understand this if you read the thread properly.
He/she even states “it was just misinformed players that were feeding me false information”, that is second hand information. It would be a different story if he was in game himself and seeing the recipes but he wasn’t.
I read that. But the notes Anet posted also said 100k, which is why everyone was posting here in the first place. It was Anet’s mistake that started everything.
I see Eles on the battlefield which can withstand a lot of damage, now you want more HP this would make this class totally overpowered PvP wise.
That a joke? The worst PvP profession would become overpowered with more health?

Pay particular attention to the Elementalist. God knows why they still have the least health AND armour.
I’m talking about the recipes to make the items. Gift of Souls, Gift of the Moon, and Gift of Spiders.
In game, players are saying to make the recipes it takes 100, not 10.
I am looking at Recipe: Gift of Souls, Recipe: Gift of the Moon, Recipe: Gift of Spiders, Gift of Souls, Gift of the Moon, and Gift of Spiders. Both the items and the crafting/mystic forge recipes themselves. No where does it say it takes 100 instead of 10. Players talking in game are incorrect based on the bad information from the update notes.
Someone makes a typo, we bring it up. A forum mod/dev reads it and thinks ‘this can’t be right…’ and emails the appropriate people to confirm this is a typo. They take a while to email back because busy with other stuff/out of office/forgot to have outlook open, then a day later the reply comes through.
That’s right! In this case, the issue of “players think this is too expensive” was raised to the coordinator of the team that worked on this update. He then raised that issue to me, the point of contact for all rewards. I said “Holy monkey face, that’s not what it was when I reviewed that stuff! Poop! What happened!? We gotta fix that asap!” and started an email thread about how to fix it, who should fix it, when we could get it into a hotfix, if we should kill switch the recipe to prevent anyone from doing it before we fix it, and discussions about pulling data in case we needed to do a refund for any poor souls who might have already done it. Then we asked the designer on that team to get in the fix and start working it through the approval process to hotfix it. It was at that point when the designer said “but it is already at 10 on Dev, not 100”. We verified that was the case in the Live code and I immediately hopped on here to post that it was a simple update notes typo while the community team worked to update the update notes. I think a days turn around is actually pretty good and I am very pleased that it was not a problem in the code, but rather a simple update notes typo.
Everything is a process. We work really hard to listen to our playerbase and be responsive to their needs. Time is always a mitigating factor and even information takes time to move from one place to another.
You sound like the American government.
This means they did not test it even once on an actual target.
Who knows…you cannot salvage or sell the boots, either, so there is no point to them making them not character bound.
Nice QA testing Anet…
Why is it, that you always epically fail, somehow, with each patch?
the game is complex, i am sure the risk that new changes would affect that very trait in this way was really low
if anet actually tested every little part and all test cases for every patch, we would see new content maybe once every 5 years and would have to pay quite a sum for it too
bug is stupid but i can’t blame them…now that bug is out though, fast fix is kind of awaited
Their new tooltip listed the massive damage. Yes, you can completely blame them.
While I can sympathize with you, there are usually two patches, and the second patch is usually only around until the next one. It’s been like this for a long time.
You had SAB for a month, but the Boss week achievements didn’t stay around as long, during the SAB month. It’s been going on for a long time now.
I, at least, was aware of how long the achievements would be around for.
What Anet needs to do on temporary achievements, I think, is to have a countdown timer on the meta screen or something like that.
At least all the other achievements and the mini can still be attained.
Well the TA path would fit into being the 1st patch (even though Halloween is staying for 1 month instead).
Like you said countdown timer would be nice (though they cant be specific about when next patch hits).
Not in my way of thinking. The first patch usually occurs early in the month, the second later in the month. SAB was clearly the first patch…because boss week before that was the short one.
Drop your fanboyism for 1 minute and actually read what people are typing.
You missed the part where I said there should be a count down timer on events, so people wouldn’t have to go through this?
I thought so.
So you have finally actually looked at a calendar and figured out the date?
I don’t understand how this kind of stuff isn’t caught in QA.
Lol…Anet does not quality assure anything.
Great QA testing, Anet. The tooltip even showed the zillions of damage.
Anet never, ever think their holiday recipe numbers through. Or their ticket prices.
Nice QA testing Anet…

yea we stopped ramming because mesmers just jump on us.
Did this make anyone else horny?
Lava axe allowes to give group permanent fury before battle start) with +boon duration runes
My cat’s breath smells like cat food.
So this thread was just lip service. How utterly pointless.
Soooo the stream was completely underwhelming as expected, I understand their time is limited so I’m still looking forward to the patch notes, not getting excited though.
Watched it as well and what I found most disturbing was all of the time spent on Ele and Warriors like the other classes A: didn’t have more pressing problems that have needed to be fixed since launch and B: don’t deserve the same amount of care that these two favored classes have had since beta.
Seriously I would hope that in the interest of fairness that next patch they focus mainly on Engineer and Ranger the most. Then the next patch they focus on Thief and Mesmer the most etc so that it’s a balanced approach to them all.
Better be trolling.
Clovers are not needed for ascended weapons.
They did go a bit too far. At the very least they need to adjust the prices of most karma items, i.e all pre-80 ones.
just tested it out, its about 3k dmg with lavafont and fireball, 100blade is still higher dps…
Same runes, sigil, amulets/gems(zerker), both have fury. Warrior at full adrenaline running 30/0/0/10/30, ele running 30/20/10/10/0. Nobody else nearby because I just did this to help out your bad testing.
Oh and warrior had 2 more stacks of might (ele 2 blast finishers for 6 + fury, warrior fgj/signet).
so you relly on dying instantly when ANYTHING comes close to you, hence no reall speccing except full glascannon, wich means you will die before you even get your stuff out?
unlike a warrior going full zerk glass warrior etc. because ofcourse he has heavy armor + huge hp pool eventho hes going full glass.
Ele can mist form and lightning flash very easily, also throw static behind themself. Warrior can try to run and hope it isn’t cc’ed/soft cc’ed from getting back to friendlies.
Was that some kind of bad joke? The mobility and stability king, the warrior, can run from anything.
In wvw warrior is at melee range from the enemy zerg, the ele can easily sit up to 1200 range, they never have to frontline and are only that exposed if they suck at positioning. Also nobody is running away from you with a hammer.
You are still completely wrong.
My opinion:
Necromancer: Greatsword
Mesmer: MH Pistol
Guardian: Longbow
Warrior: Shortbow
Ranger: Rifle
Thief: Mace
Elementalist: Torch….
You forgot a class.
So did Anet. BOOYAH!

Pretty useless without timestamps.
ENGINEER GRENADE KIT NUMBER 1 SKILL GIVEN AUTOATTACK.
Please, please do this. It is the only thing stopping me from playing an Engineer.
How can they give an ground targeted aoe autoattack?
Just give it an option to allow auto-attack or not. Hell, it could do less AoE/damage or whatever whenever autoattack is enabled for all I care. I just do not want RSI.
2 major things you need to do, Anet:
- Review health levels for all classes. The differences are ridiculous, and in the case of the elementalist, completely arbitrary.
- Review the compulsory minor traits (the 5, 15, 25 point ones). Some are insanely strong, while others are completely useless.
So if all these arguments are that 2H weapons are WAY better than 2 – 1H weapons, why are we even discussing this as if it’s a major problem?
It’s already twice as easy to get the BEST Ascended weapon set…..case closed.
One handers should be easier to get, then. I thought that point was pretty kitten obvious…
I do use a signet build, and YES, it is weak. But at least it is stronger than a Glyph build…
Funny. I’m using a glyph build on my staff ele and it’s much stronger than a signet build (though both work well).
You really need to stop your annoying one man crusade against game balance.
I’m sorry if I annoy you, but I’m merely giving my opinion and shring my experiences. Silencing me because it’s inconvenient is not cool man.
/rollseyes
Nice one, drama queen. You are clearly wrong about Signets and Glyphs, as neither are truly viable. Yet you continue to spout your nonsense. The doomandgloom crowd are annoying, but the apologists like you are even worse.
