I am EST and I play mostly from 5pm-? If I’m not working though I will be on during the day.
My friends and I play on Tarnished Coast and always welcome other fun oriented gamers. We mostly focus on PvE but a few of us also hang out in WvW as well.
We have our own vent server and using it is a big plus with connecting and making friends.
We all work and only a couple of us might be on during the weekdays but the weekend is when the beer, pizza and laughter is in no short supply:D
Hiya Dramen, Fools N Gold is a small guild on Tarnished Coast that has been operating in GW2 since day 1. We are established upon a core group of friends that have played several games together over the last few years. If evening dungeon (sometimes during the day) running and socializing via our vent server sounds like what you might be interested in please let me know:D
We are a small guild founded by a group of friends who have been playing games (SWTOR, DDO, GW1, WoW, WoT and Rift) together for a few years now. We have a laid back and casual environment where we focus on evening (NA) dungeon runs and friendly banter via our vent server.
So if your looking for a quiet local that has full PvE guild bonuses with dungeon running experience and a kill first run later attitude please let me know!
Been like this since the last update:(
Is this in relation to any particular zone? I know the Cursed Shore and Fireheart Rise have been pretty bad with lag and disconnects of late. Otherwise that really sucks and I hope you can get a fix.
I’ve been farming in Cursed Shore since day one and I have to concur that rare drop rates seem to be much lower now. I am also gaining more putrid essence. It’s been like this since the November update.
I also agree that champion mobs are a waste of time still. I have seen no difference there and in fact some don’t drop anything at all (Contender). The most lucrative farming area is the fractals and that is sad to see since they are filled with exploits and dc’s.
On TC the Cursed Shore lagg is getting pretty bad as well for the larger events like Grenth and Arah chains. Disconnects and lagg for many of us.
I have pin-pointed the issue. It’s the Fire trait: Lava Tomb. Using that trait vs the shades during the Grenth event will result in a one-shot kill with no downed state. Not using it results in a normal downed state.
I have seen this happen before and it was due to running past mobs. I have never seen this bug when our group kills our way there on the first go.
Just happened to us last night. We wanted to do a Xmas special as a guild and doing the hardest/longest path in the game was the plan. We approached Lupicas as we normally do by paving a path to him over the corpses of the risen outside but when we entered the room he did not start.
It was very very disappointing indeed and it reminded me of the SE path 2 we did last week where the final boss confrontation did not start. So pretty much 3 hours of game play wasted over the last week.
My SE group had the same problem with P2. The final two golem bosses never spawned. An hour wasted indeed. I have been lucky with AC so far but I have some friends who have ran into the AC P1 bug as well.
My elementalist constantly gets one shotted from the shades with no downed state. It doesn’t matter how much of the shade debuff I have on me or how many shades I am up against. I must’ve done this event over 30 times on multiple professions and only my 19k health ele has this issue.
On top of that some of the D/D air skills take the my character out of shade form.
Final boss fight (with the two golems) never triggered. We tried everything. Even got the npc’s killed. About an hour in the dungeon and only 6 tokens to show for it:(
Clearly this doesn’t apply to level-capped players, but have you considered targeting content at a higher level than your character? I prefer difficult content, so personally I tend to look for content that’s 2 levels higher than my own.
That’s a great idea and one my friends and I use when leveling. The problem comes in Cursed Shore where the challenge is in trying to hit something before it dies. Right now we are turned off from many events if there are too many players there (the Karma Highway).
It would really be fun to have the events scale a little bit better here. Throw a bunch of veterans or champions out for instance.
ANet, you guys cannot go more than a few days without a server reset at this point. The DE content, after a day or two, breaks to a point where it really hurts the reputation and quality of your product. We already went down this road last week! Do you guys not care?! Tarnished Coast can’t even get into Arah!
It is a bug when the enemy goes invulnerable only a few feet from its spawn point. I don’t run into it too often on land but underwater I see it more often.
I have played since the first BWE and the past several days have been the first time my guildies and I have seen this issue become so prevalent.
There are so many broken events and skill challenges now that it’s really getting frustrating:( Why we don’t get more server restarts is beyond me.
But thanks for saying something Mathew and I really hope you guys can straighten it all out. The game is really fun when it’s running as it should but, sadly, this is the worst state I have seen the game in since the first BWE (not counting stress tests).
Malchor’s Leap:
- Lyssa Event is broken since the cannon NPC’s are stuck and do not rebuild the cannon. We tried for about an hour controlling the other two needed points and had no luck at all:(
- Escort Mission, which starts at the beginning of the zone, broken as well.
- Skill Point by Bayt Fallahin POI is still broken after a week:(
Straights of Devastation:
- Central Invasion is stuck at the Krait Base and does not progress.
- Southern Invasion has an escort DE which is always getting stuck.
These are just a few off the top of my head. I have encountered many many more over the last few days and my guildies have a long list of broken events as well in other zones. The game is getting to a point that a 48 hour restart should become the norm until permanent fixes can be found. GW2 is quickly becoming a broken game atm:(
My friends and I have trouble with the Caudecus’s Manor instance. The problem is not with my other guildies but with my roommates. Those of us on the same internet can’t get into the same instance together.
We have only tried the first two dungeons and this is the only one of the two we have issues like this. After about 20 minutes of breaking party, regrouping, joining the same over-flow and re-logging we finally got it to work. But just today we wanted to do it again and couldn’t make it work no matter what we tried. I ended up taking in another guildy over my roommate.
Yes, it is very annoying. I have to switch pets a lot to get rid of the noise. My friends complain to me about it all the time!
Here is my level 80 Norn elementalist. Such a fun class to play
Omg my eyes!! Please turn down the brightness of your armor!! I can’t see;)
