Guild Wars 2

The achievement armor, like many different armor, can’t fit into everything, if you don’t like it, then simply don’t use it, you don’t have to ruin it for people who like it, personally, I don’t like them either and I think it’s true that they mostly fit into heavy armor, but I ain’t going to complain about free stuff.

There is also the eternally in combat with the harpies thing, that needs to be fixed.

Viking Jorun.5413:

Nothing has been announced about new legendaries since shortly after launch. Having more than 1 set of legendaries would make them not-so-legendary, now would it?

Not really.

Look at all of the Legendary swords from our myth and legends:

• Excalibur
• Claiomh Solais
• Naegling
• Hrunting
• Caladbolg

Maybe it’d be interesting if each race had weapons that they considered to be Legendary, much like how different cultures in RL have different views.

For example, the Bow of Pyre Fierceshot would be considered important to the Charr.

As much as I support your idea, you’re basically asking for 5 legendary weapon sets…

I also forgot to mention about the “I know how to get there,”, there’s only one road, we’re not going to jump into the lava, and my argument of why don’t they just stab crea is totally valid, they could’ve made the path a striking back/revenge kind of thing.

I mean, why don’t they just stab crea, why do they have to get 4 acolytes to literally suck the life out of her, or, when crea says " No it ain’t, I know how to get there, and I know how to break it,", does by get there you mean passing through some fire stones and standing on pillars, and by break it, do you mean swinging greatswords and throwing fireballs on something that is already on fire? if yes, then crea is a kittening genius that is totally worth the trouble…

eles hp is too low considering damage/defense/heals/range, we’re not the best at anything, warriors have more offensive support and damage and heals and defense than us, they have an 8.5k heal if you’re using a full zerk build and 18k hp.

edit: eles have better heals if they use ether renewal since it has 15s reload and heals 5k (with 100 healing), but 3.5s cast time, there is also normal water attunement skills

Eles do need a sword, our weapons are limited, but we don’t need a warhorn, it just doesn’t say elementalis. Thieves, rangers and warriors can’t have staff because they’re not… magic type, they don’t do spells, a staff would be a stick to them, mesmer and necros don’t need a shield, you, they’re already hard as it is to kill, you want to make them even harder to kill, warriors shouldn’t use daggers, it’s not warrior-ish.

Started arah p3 1 hour before daily resets, finished 2 minutes after, I know that feel…

Basically, you did something bad, and now you post a thread about it because you got reported, you’re seeking support in the forums and expecting us to say that they overreacted, well, they did, but they’re still right and you’re wrong, it was a douchy move on your part, you’re also mistaken about one thing, it’s probably not they overreacted, it’s probably he overreacted, I’m pretty sure only 1 of the 4 people got mad and decided to report you
“For every action there is an opposite reaction,” Newton’s 3rd law of motion, I’d say equal but life is unfair, so deal with it.
PS: Karma is a female dog

Message chryzo if you’re EU, he’s the leader of the arah lfm guild there, also, don’t represent, it’s more or less a list of people willing to do arah

Dungeons are fine as they are, devs have more important stuff to work on, like, ascended weapons, dueling, new legendaries, scavenger hunt, more awesome looking daggers ( should be their no.1 priority), living story, fixing bugs, and I honestly don’t get why people want dungeons to be soloable, if you have a half decent group you can do most of the dungeons in less than 30 minutes, most of arah paths in less than an hour and p4 in 90 minutes

Ather.5091:

In 30 min I can:
1) 3 Paths of AC: ~ 180+ AC Tokens, 6 Chests, ~1g83s, Fun!
2) 3 Paths of TA: ~ 180+ TA Tokens, 9 Chests, ~1g65s, 15% Onyx core/chest, Fun!
3) ~5 Path 1’s of CoF: ~ 105+ CoF Tokens, 15 Chests, ~3g34s, 15% Molten core/chest, Drop Dead Boring
4) 2 Paths of Arah: ~ 120+ Arah Tokens, 7 Chests, ~1g48s, Very Fun!

In 35 min I can:
5) 3 Paths of CoE: ~ 180+ CoE Tokens, 9 Chests, ~2g61s, 15% Charged core/chest, Fun!

I don’t know guys, but I see no problems with this. I value fun as the most rewarding part of a run.

Can you do it with pugs?

Never saw anyone soloing Arah till the end.

Well, I’m not an expert on investments, but I do know a few things, basically, don’t put all your money into one thing, for example, invest 200g on SAB weapons, 200g on quartz, but wait for a while they’ll keep getting cheaper for now, and steadily get higher after the end of the update, and 200g on gems, you’d still have 200g but those are just in case, like a cushion money, something to fall back on in case the investments go south.

I don’t want to give the impression that I’m a grammar kitten, but it’s way too* hard, you forgot an “o” in the too, just saying, good luck on CM.

You know what would really help in threads like these, saying whether you’re NA or EU, we’re not psychics, or some kind of super computer hacker who can find out where you live just from your username… My bet is that you’re EU and english is not you’re first language, am I right?

they should buff hard dungeon rewards, they should make lupi always give a rare, I mean, he’s harder than all of cof p1, not saying he’s hard, just saying that a good pug group with decent dps can take him down in 6-8 minutes, a good pug group can finish cof p1 in 6-8 minutes

people will still use gw2lfg.com

LordByron.8369:

there are only 3 nice daggers

Best is still Ascalonian catacombs one (too big for my tastes)
second is zenith kris
third is fractal dagger

Best skins in game are the easiest to get

Seriously zenith skins are among the best in game imho even at legendary level.

The arah dagger… it looks better than AC’s dagger 50% of the time, and has a prestige to it, still better than the zenith dagger…

nobody said warrior…. a lot of people said ele
Human ele, whisper, because eles are awesome

A permanent aura would be something nice

AkiLeaves.2613:

I don’t understand all the hate I see going around; there’s nothing wrong with people wanting to farm it, and there’s ALSO nothing wrong with having a few explorable paths that are stupidly easy. If you want challenge, there are other places to seek it; every game is going to have its really easy parts, and more difficult parts.

I seriously do not understand why CoF is a bad thing at all; I enjoy running Arah and high level fractals, and THAT’S where I derive some more challenge from, but leave CoF as it is.

That’s where you’re wrong, everybody kind of knows that harder stuff should mean better rewards, it’s a concept with gaming, especially mmos, this concept however, doesn’t exist in gw2, killing a trash mob in 5 seconds has the same rewards as killing a champion in 5 minutes, naturally, a champion should have a better rewards.
For example, in a normal exam, if you study for 3 hours you’d usually get a higher grade than someone who studied for 1 hour, however, in gw2 (gw2 being an exam for the argument’s purposes), the one who studied for 3 hours and the one who studied for 1 hour would get the same mark, kind of unfair.

My reaction to this video

3rd fractal, uncategorized/harpies one, almost at the end boss, host has to go, say’s he has something to take care of, but he can click on ready when we’re done, we tell him to stay afk, most of us die, host is in combat, you know, when you’re eternally in combat with the harpies, so we can’t reset, someone asks, who’s in combat, I say, maybe host, even though I mentioned that if the host left we will all get kicked, someone decides to kick him, before I can say “no don’t” I’m in the LA loading screen. I only cried for 2 hours

I also had this bug when I did arah p4 for the first time, we had to reset simin twice, took us 2 hours, I’m surprised anet didn’t fix it yet, it was the first time for 4 of us, so, like you said, the first try I didn’t really know when people got petrified or not but the 2nd time we were doing pretty good and the bug was still there, the sparks were put in their spots quickly too, anet should really fix the problem.
First try before reset, took a really long while because we thought it was just a boss mechanic, but then it was taking too long and it didn’t really go under 50%, so someone searched and we had to reset…

If she heals back above 50% health, she will stealth at 50% again. The only way that this really happens is taking too long with the sparks. If you can get the sparks in 15 seconds or less the fight goes very smoothly.

Like I mentioned, 4 of us were first timers, including me, and what you said doesn’t make it any less of a bug, if we don’t run sparks fast enough she will regen more health, that’s the boss mechanic, with the bug, if you don’t run sparks fast enough you’ll have to reset.

Yeah, we don’t have any weapons like firebringer (sword) or immobulus (scepter), we do, however, have tear of grenth and jormag’s needle, basically, pieces of broken glass called daggers…

I don’t mind all the “recurring” content, hell, easy achievement points, why would I complain, but what really grinds my gear is ignoring permanent content, they promised us a scavenger hunt…. in December 2012 and told us soon, same thing for phase 2 of dungeon tweaking, you just cancelled res rushing and that’s it, or ascended weapons and new legendaries, if half of the work spent on recurring content was spent on permanent content for 2 months, we’d have all that by now, I mean, it’s not like you’re making 5 new maps for any of those, I’m not saying stop working on recurring content, or that you don’t work on permanent content, I’m just saying, you kept your promises on the recurring content, then keep your promises on the permanent content, because I know that you can.

PS: Thanks for the achievement rewards btw, it was a nice addition, I mean, what do you know, you actually listen to our suggestions…

Yeah, but when you die, there is a checkpoint and you don’t come back with 50%hp, also in demon souls you lose all the souls you had

Fortunately, souls are like exp in Demons Souls. So you can also just spend them and level your character, so there is less to lose. A lot of souls can also be found as items, and you won’t lose those if you die.

Bismuth.3165:

but when you have to pass through a bridge with archers at the other side slowing you down and mobs on the bridge trying to kill you, and if you don’t pass fast enough, which is super fast, you’ll get killed by a dragon

Oh but that is the fun part. When ever Demons Souls throws something like that at you, there are multiple solutions.

1: Run as fast as you can, with your shield out to block arrows
2: Find a safe spot halfway, where the fire doesn’t hit you
3: Run halfway, then run back, and watch as the dragon fries all the archers, while you get the souls.
4: Use a bow and kill them from far away
5: Wear fire resistance items
6. Go underneath the bridge
7. Go through the internal tunnels of the bridge
8. Kill the dragon from one of the towers

I was at stage 2, I didn’t have fire resistant armor or a bow, dragon’s attack 1 shotted me and I can’t block it, and there was a lot of arrows, and sad thing is, there is no margin for error, I ragequitted at the 4th or 5th try, the game was good but like gamespot said, punishingly difficult, my point is, saying anet are sadistic devs when these guys are out there is like saying how scared you are of a rabid dog when a godzilla is roaming free, they even made a sequel, dark souls

I use character spaces as banks, you can also make your own guild and spend money to get influence for guild stash, or you can destroy the weapon, anywho, it’s still a good idea, +1

here is a picture of my ele, this is an old, I changed dyes, I still look epic though, I’ll upload the old one and upload the new look when I get the chance since the game is updating

“I don’t get it,” Elementalists

What?

our dagger has a range of 400/300/600, the warrior’s GS has a range of 150 or something like that

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

Bismuth.3165:

You want to know sadistic developers, play demon souls, took me 5 hours to finish the first stage, basically, you die, you get back to starting point and repeat the whole stage, mobs can 3 hit kill you, if you die, all the souls (currency) that you got are gone and you revive with only 50%, you can only get the other 50% hp until you finish the stage, there is 5 chapters and each chapter has 4 stages, something like that, main point is, 5 hours on the first stage, I couldn’t even finish the tutorial,

The tutorial was meant to teach you the vital game play mechanics, But everyone always dies at the end of the Demons Souls tutorial. You are meant to die there, because it teaches you perhaps the most important aspect of the game: You will die a lot.

The first stage of Demons Souls is very easy, but the first time you play it all players have a lot of difficulty with it. This is because they are still learning the mechanics. But the game doesn’t get much more difficult. The rules remain the same, and once you get it, the game becomes a lot easier. You quickly learn in Demons Souls that:

A: You should always keep your shield up, especially when entering a new room
B: You should not spam attacks, because you need stamina to block attacks as well.
C: You should always expect a dirty trap.
D: You should study the combos of your enemies before attacking them. So you know when to strike.
E: You should always remain on the move, and back away from enemies to avoid losing too much stamina from blocking.

With those rules in mind, the game becomes much easier.
Dragging this back to GW2 a bit, in GW2 I feel the challenges are often not so fair. The rules are often inconsistent, and I often die due to bugs, unfair mechanics, or trial and error game play. It’s not just the lack of respawn points, but the general lack of being able to learn from your mistakes. A lot of encounters in GW2 cannot be learned while doing them. You have to fail them first, and then again, and again, and then you make it. And that frustrates the hell out of me.

Yeah, but when you die, there is a checkpoint and you don’t come back with 50%hp, also in demon souls you lose all the souls you had, imagine losing all your gold when you die and the only way to get it back is to go to where your dead body is, also, what you say is true, the game is systematic and after a while, killing mobs become easier, but when you have to pass through a bridge with archers at the other side slowing you down and mobs on the bridge trying to kill you, and if you don’t pass fast enough, which is super fast, you’ll get killed by a dragon

Took me 4 hours to do p4, two hours on simin because he was bugged, seriously, he couldn’t go under 50% hp, he just went into regeneration mode, we had to reset 2 times, apparently, that was the solution if we ever faced that bug, and reseting means collecting a whole lot of tears, and 4 of us, (including me) were inexperienced, 3 of the party members got dungeon master after that run, it was a good experience.

Dungeon master, best experience in the game, already have but good luck on your titles, also, remember, arah can be the easiest and the hardest dungeon, you just have to know how to do it, it’s very systematic.

colesy.8490:

Time to add this to the list of moments a revive orb was useful.

“08/07/2013 – two revive orbs save a party from wipe”

[no further entries prior]

Actually, I do have 2 stories for revive orbs, I didn’t really buy, I just bought tons of BL chests for the fused weapons and got it, anywho.
1- We were doing fractals 10+20-, and we’re at the end boss and only 2 of us left, boss is at 40% hp, so, usually, when I’m dead, I like to give my team moral support, never hurts, so I say “come on guys, you can do it, you’re epic”, then I check my inventory and see I have a revive orb then say, “well lucky for you, I’m epic too,” and use the revive orb.

2- This is the funny one, I was in fractal 26, we were at the ice one, we were doing the ice elemental and only 2 of us left, so someone decided to use a revive orb, after 20 seconds of that ghost ressing him, he got up then immediately dead again because of the frostbite and he only has 1 hp, I was rofling.

Everyone’s out there killing lupi in less than 1 minutes and I’m just sitting here killing him in 10 minutes, oh well, the bliss of a good organized group

so, guardians or eles, I guess since they both heal and dps and sometimes tank at the same time then yeah, it does make sense

You want to know sadistic developers, play demon souls, took me 5 hours to finish the first stage, basically, you die, you get back to starting point and repeat the whole stage, mobs can 3 hit kill you, if you die, all the souls (currency) that you got are gone and you revive with only 50%, you can only get the other 50% hp until you finish the stage, there is 5 chapters and each chapter has 4 stages, something like that, main point is, 5 hours on the first stage, I couldn’t even finish the tutorial, if you think obsidian sanctum is frustrating and not challenging then go back to playing games on easy mode, I’m not saying I’m good at jumping puzzles, I’m saying it took me 1 hour to get to the 3rd part the first time I did it then someone killed me, you don’t find me b*tching about it in the forum.
PS: Writing advice, always write what your talking about in the first paragraph, as Fror said, it took you 1 title and 3 paragraphs to say what the topic was about

I’d increase the rewards of hard dungeons and fractal, make a sure way to get anything you want and add more staff to the game

if we get mounts, this is what going to happen
it’ll cost a lot, probably not less than 100g, and those are going to be the bad ones, good ones might be something like 500g, a lot of people will spend 500g on the good mount, then they’ll just run around with it for 15 minutes in LA, then go like, I want to do arah, Map-Cursed Shore-Arah waypoint, there will also be thousands of threads want mount combat and millions of threads suggesting new mounts and billions of threads saying how mounts being an RNG thing is bad, Mounts only have 3 uses for this game, and most of them only apply if they have the speed boost
1- World exploration
2- WvW
3- Cosmetics
it’s not worth it

clicked on the asura section by accident and saw this thread, what a happy accident, flying rainbow unicorn of death made me laugh for a while, asuras with legendaries are pretty awesome

so, basically, as low as a precursor from the mystic forge using rares

Arah is also the 1 dungeon where every class has their strengths and are completely viable… except rangers. Poor Poor rangers. They can do it, they’re just not even close to as good as any of the other classes.

Lupi can attack the ranger’s pet, ranger’s pet can revive ranger if nobody is around to res him (downed state), extra range on rangers is also pretty usefull, I have a level 7 ranger so I know some bits and pieces, but I think rangers can bring more to the table

they can bring negative dps to the lupicus fight

made me laugh for a while, then I felt sad for rangers, are they really that bad, I heard that they can do the most damage but not a lot of people know that, that was before the patch though, and my sources are anything but credible.

Bismuth.3165:

I thought guardians are supposed to run full support on fractals? and doesn’t everything has it’s own situations, zerker is usually for players who really know how to play dungeons and not die, pvt is for people who don’t know or squishy classes, I mean, if these people go full zerk, they’ll die really quickly, and most of the dungeon will be 4 manned, but if they go pvt, their survivability will increase and will not die as much, I mean, that’s more helpful to the party, though they will probably do 1/2 of the zerk damage, it’s better than dying when boss is 80%hp.

Just a random note, squishy classes is not relly an excuse, if the player is strong enough even an ele can run full zerker. It all comes down to the players dodging skills and the group support around him.

a full zerk ele is going to have around 11k hp and and less than 2k armor, not toughness, for most situations, I have a zerk ele with some pvt stuff here and there, I need to use ranged for many situations, but I do use d/d against slow bosses, like crusher and hunter or the subject alpha, something with a low rate of attack or easily evadable attacks

a lot of people do arah though, it’s not that hard to find a group
