You can also get it as a random drop. On Shatterer I once got a Charzooka, which is an ascended rifle with a huge skin.

Charzooka is exotic, not ascended.

To test the system, it is not odd at all.

Yeah I was discussing this in another topic here , hopefully Anet will create something to solve this.
I really want the asc breather but I don’t want to lose the frost aura from the Rime-Rimmed

Following those links and using Zojja’s Claymore as example:
Weaponsmith lvl 1 to 400 : 22.5g
Weaponsmith lvl 400 to 500 : 76g
Craft the asc weapon : 60g

Total : 158.5g

Ascended gear are all account bound, not soulbound.

As a main ranger my tip is:
With a ranger equip Trolls Unguent, Signet of the Wild, Fern Hound pet and eat a Mango Pie.
All those heals stack with each other, also the strategy of removing all the Vit gear is the key for success.

You can also ask for a friend to create a water field for you, in that case equip sword/warhorn + GS, that way you’ll have a blast finisher and 2 leap finishers to heal even more.

Yeah 50 FPS for 2560×1440 resolution seems ok for the CPU.

GW2 doesn’t rely much on GPU, so most of your gtx 980 SLI isn’t even used while your 3570k holds most of the load.
I have the same CPU, you probably have a good CPU cooler, if so try to overclock it, mine handle 4 GHz easily and I don’t use water cooler and the weather here is quite hot

With a R9 270x, I get my 60 FPS (I use V-Sync and my monitor is 60 Hz so yeah …) in most places, but in some WvW zerg fights and in world bosses there is no setup in the world that can keep the FPS high.

Hey can you tell me your settings if you’re using the same mobo and cpu casue my pc wont even boot up thanks

I’m at work now, tonight I’ll post my in game settings.

You don’t need to be a moderator to know the forum rules and have good sense.
Shaogin is correct, the first link I posted is the dev topic he mentioned and my 2nd link is a post in the necro sub-forum.

The medium armor in the “New armor Sets” link is a trenchcoat and the one in “Heavy? Ley Line” seems a lot like a medium armor if you look at the mask, but still it is also a trenchcoat.

The search doesn’t work since forever, more info here

I can already guarantee the 2 armor sets we’ll have from the Guild Halls, and besides those it is almost sure that we’ll get at least 1 new set in HoT.
Also, I can already imagine that all the medium armors will be trenchcoats

New Medium armor

Is there the male version? Because so far so good.

I also use an ASUS MoBo, in the BIOS options (before Windows start, press DEL as soon as you turn on your PC) look for CPU options and change the CPU multiplier and not the voltage, both will increase the clock but the voltage is much more dangerous and need to be VERY careful on how to change it.
@ 4 GHz my CPU stay around 75ºC with a Thermaltake fan cooler.
Try to google a bit about overclocking, it is not that hard if you don’t want to push too much, like make it run @ 5 GHz or something.

Against world bosses as I said, there is simply no setup in the world that will make it good, around 15~30 FPS is normal there.

Depends where you are playing and also depends A LOT of your CPU, can you inform us about those?

Last expansion in that game was November of 2013 and in the beginning of 2015 there was 1 new raid and world boss … I’m happy with the GW2 pace.

You won’t get any gold from the LS.
If you are interested in AP and/or sinister trinkets then get it.
If you want the carapace/luminescent armor skin then get it.
If you are not interested in story (as you said) and don’t want the previous 2 points I mentioned then don’t get it.

Nope, cultural armor is race-locked , you can’t even preview it with different race, but you can use in another character of the same race and armor type.

I prefer to get ~2 mins queue and sometimes face a premade team instead of wait way longer to guarantee that I’ll face other single players

This is an outright lie. SoloQ was MUCH faster than teamQ, and only reason why soloQ was deleted was constantly growing queue times for teamQ.
“Nobody wants to play with premades, we have to do something. Oh, right, lets delete anything but premade queue! Brilliant!”

I meant if we get a separated queue for solo and team in the new system, like a solo/team unranked and solo/team unranked. The time would increase for sure.
In the previous system I agree completely, the few times I did soloQ was faster than the current unranked.

I can’t find the link in the PvP sub forum but a dev was explaining exactly how and why the match making end doing what you are describing, seems like you would really enjoy the read (at least I did) .
Yeah, it feels frustrating to join a match with people that doesn’t speak your language against a TS organised team, with enough feedback a middle ground will be reached for sure.

Sword cost 2~3g
After salvage with BLSK you get
Sigil: ~3.5g
Ectos: ~40s each (up to 3 of those)
Some Ori/Mithril
A skin if you are doing for the 1st time
Glob of Dark matter

If you mouse over the colors you’ll see that the names are referring to the material it is applied to.
Many dyes looks a bit different if applied to cloth, leather or metal.

What? Can you link the dye you are referring to?

Supply and Demand.
The Supply of that skin is VERY small, so any demand makes the price skyrocket.

The current system is quite good imo.
There is the Practice where you expect nothing from it, there you just make builds and go nuts, or go to complete your dailies.
We have the Unranked where you can play a real match but if you win or lose have pretty much no difference besides a few rank points.
We have the Ranked where if you are playing there solo you are doing it wrong in the first place.

With the previous system I only played the equivalent of Practice because I’m also quite casual and I didn’t want to mess with the rank point of others in the leaderboard in the SoloQ so I had no where else to go, now the unranked is perfect for casual players that want to join real matches instead of people forcing autobalance to join the winning team.

The matchmaking try to match solo player with other solo players, if none are found they try to match small parties until all requirements are filled.
I prefer to get ~2 mins queue and sometimes face a premade team instead of wait way longer to guarantee that I’ll face other single players, also it would make team queues much much longer, and besides all that if I have a 4 players party and I want to PvP how they will get a 5th player? You’ll be required to join as solo or as a full team, no in between?
It is easy to complain but it is hard to find solutions.

Also, a part of that money comes from sponsors, so just part of that money come from Anet and that comes from the marketing budget, so I see no problem at all.

It IS “casual friendly” you probably get some unlucky matches, if you enjoy math you can see exactly how the match making is made: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_Matchmaking_Algorithm

EDIT: If you are facing a group with premades it is very likely that the other 4 members of your team is in a party.

I think it wise that a responsible answer to these questions because the truth is that they are not very clear , I reread the post of specializations elite , and this post says it can be changed with equal ease of especialiezación elite like when you change the standard specialization therefore it assumes that there is more than one.

I think that some information must be getting lost on the google translator
What the post mean is that you can change from regular specialization to elite specialization and in the future when new elite specialization become available you’ll be able to easily change, but it is clearly said that we’ll get just 1 elite specialization with this expansion.

Yes, that is why I know that the effect is tied to the item and not the skin, because the wintersday breather have no unique skin to attach the effect to it, like legendary does.

Not only data mined, you could check in from the wardrobe, but yeah, it was never available in game.
I don’t think that skin would look good for a melee staff, imo the regular Destroyer staff looks better.

Oxidia.8103:

Zackie.8923:

go search silverwaste farm in youtube

Why do you even bother to reply with a lazy kitten answer like this?

I agree with Zackie, on youtube you’ll find guides with information that words just can’t describe or makes it much easier.
You find video guides with chest routes, location and order of the defense events, where to position on boss battles and so on.
The only best thing that Zackie could have done is link a video.

onio.6403:

There will be more than 1 elite specialization for each class?

In the future yes, in HoT no.

onio.6403:

By having active specialization elite class icon changes having specialization?

I’m not really sure, I think the icon wont change.

onio.6403:

There will be completely new weapons for the specializations of elite?

In HoT no.
In the future, well … maybe.

onio.6403:

Having activated a specialization of étlite, they may put additional traits (vitality, strength, accuracy …) or continue depending only on weapons, armor and accessories?

Stats from traits was removed for good, so yeah, you’ll get stats only from gear.

Talyn.3295:

I only use the one exotic wintersday breather.

Now you made me think …
The wintersday breather has that nice frost aura effect, but that effect is tied to the item, not the skin, so if I get an ascended breather I’ll lose the effect from the wintersday breather.

Yes, besides underwater and elite specialization (very likely to be a shield) we got all rev weapons already.

What would be a good idea is make the pet gain a distortion-like effect, for the same duration of a dodge roll, that way the pet get the invulnerability frames they need and can keep attacking, server-side you won’t even need animation/status verification since it won’t interrupt whatever the pet is doing.
It is just like what OP suggested, but without the interruption issue.

EDIT: That wouldn’t be OP because the ranger would need to decide if he wants to use the vigor for himself or for the pet.

Oh good to know that is usable the recipe to get the same stats, glad I helped.

RoseofGilead.8907:

Why does it matter, though? It’s the same skin, and the name of the skin will always be “Illustrious”.

It is a bit of “OCD”, I also like to have my gear with the same pattern and in his case the helmet got different from the rest.
That is the main reason why I got a full ascended set even though I don’t go to fractals, it was to have all my gear with the same type, and after the HoT I’ll run to make the ascended aquabreather since it is the only thing that bothers me a bit now

There is a way but imo it is not worth the price …
Use the new MF recepi to change the armor piece to another stats then do it again to get the zojja, you’ll end with a brand new zojja’s visor, also all the runes and infusions will be lost.

The character slots are given in batches.
Usually it is on Fridays.

I’ll test a zerker shiro rev in the new map, and make a human reaper, a sylvari DH and a norn cronomancer to test them, I’m not particularly curious about the tempest.

Nothing confirmed, but it is quite safe to assume that new options will be added, like hairs, faces and colors.
I wish that new details get added too, like norn tattos, human and norn beards, asura ears, charr horns and fur patters, sylvari glow and so on.

Have a way to move crafting skills seems like a good idea, but a way to just delete crafting skills just to appease an obscure pseudo-ODC is a terrible idea.

CandyHearts.6025:

Kinda on subject. . . but what are the said cap for all the stats? :o

I won’t be able to give the numbers right now but the idea would be:
Armor + Weapons + Jewels with power as main stats
Runes + Foods with power as main stats
Depending on profession, traits/skills that gives power
Sum all that and you’ll get the max power available.

About precision, you can get above 100% crit rate, but it won’t help at anything so it is just wasted points.

Sifu.9745:

What is the purpose of Ferocity exactly? It increases crit dmg, yes, but so do Power!

More Power = higher sustain AND higher crit numbers.
More Ferocity only adds to higher crit numbers.

You are correct about power, but you’ll reach a point where you can’t get any more power and at that point you need to balance precision and ferocity.
Too much precision and you’ll waste stats since it has a cap.
Too much ferocity and you won’t have enough crits to proc all that ferocity.

Also, ferocity is a multiplier, so its increase isn’t linear like power.

With megaserver such a thing makes no sense anymore.
Just join a RP guild or group and play it.

There is simply no way ANet force a server transfer because TC is the UNofficial RP server.
EDIT: forget my last sentence. Yeah, ANet never wanted to make official RP server, the problem is that if they do they’ll need to make and enforce rules there and that demands an extra effort that won’t bring much revenue back.

Yes, only by waypoint.
But remember that you don’t need to enter the dungeon portal, if you waypoint anywhere in the map the dungeon window will popup for you.

SkullProX.7083:

Just, what is RMB and LMB?xD

Right Mouse Button and Left Mouse Button

It was asked tons of times, and great axe specifically is among the popular weapons, close to spear.

Konig Des Todes.2086:

However, the jotun theory pretty much died out completely when we saw ancient jotun citadels in-game and how drastically different they are.

Yup. What is kinda sad imo, we went back to have pretty much no clue about HoM origins.

Next expansion you mean after HoT, right?
Because devs already stated that we’ll get no new weapon type in HoT.
I doubt that they are planning anything for a next update now, but I think weapons like a great axe, spear, cross-bow and so on, are very possible in a future update.

Does anyone have a video of that build in PvE?
I’d like to see it in real action before changing my zerk asc set to sinister.
