Guild Wars 2

Lonami.2987:

This is great; but wait, only one restoration per account? :S

This part seems a bit unreasonable , might be something you would should reconsider. Because lightning does hit in the same place twice. Unlikely but possible.

edit. Apart from that issue everthing else sounds great.

Rookni.2469:

Can only +1 on the [PRO] guys magicly appearing inside our Garrison without a mesmer. Luckily we have defense on all major keeps. Would be kittenn to see how fast they could cap rest of map if we hadn´t stopped them there.

Will continue to keep an eye for PRO´s. Not mashing rest of AM server cause you are a kittenn and fair matchup

[PRO]lol visited 3 towers on Gandara borderlands in under 15 minutes capping two of them. Some have it easy when they can just port straight to Lord’s room.

The movie would be only 3 minutes long since the group of the heroes would get instakilled by a culling thief once they would get out of the tavern where the mission was handed to them.

Go ahead and keep using the alt+f4 as long as it’s possible. But trying to justify it by some ridiculous ways makes me chuckle.

Elmuerto.9840:

I saw something similar last night. The thief took down a group of maybe 5 – I was around, ressing, and being focused at times and I legged it when too many others drifted over from his team. It was the group not really knowing what was going on and culling.

The thief really didn’t appear for any more than 1 second unless attacking, and even then it wasn’t for anymore than a couple of seconds. I know I was watching for him like a hawk and wasn’t even able to get an arrow shot off in short range to immobilise him from stealth he was popping so fast, but ey. I’m sure this annoys players no end, it is a bug however and does occur and its the reason why this can happen. Experienced players can deal with it but it don’t make it right.

First, it is not bug – it is a learn to play issue. I’m not going to tell you how to counter it since there are countless number of topics on that.

Experienced players don’t deal with it, they counter it. As said above, a learn to play issue.

- From a non-thief player.

So culling is now a l2p issue? This is getting better by the minute. Please, carry on.

Well, i don’t think it’s a unreasonable suggestion but you can always keep an eye out on the ongoing Balthazar topic on the dynamic events thread. Some nice people post when the temple is unlocked. All you have to do is to change servers for a week. The temple stays open for a few hours after it’s taken.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/events/Uncontested-Temple-of-Balthazar/page/10#post946954

If you can’t excel as a d/d thief in it’s current state i agree you should move to another games.

Charming Rogue.8071:

Kinda curious about this too, seeing as lots of people transmuted their legendaries already.

Well, if they don’t return the legendary statuses people can always farm another legendary and make a few ecto’s from old one :P

At the current state of culling you shouldn’t bother to spend time trying to take thiefs down. Waste of time and energy to hunt something down that is half the time stealthed and not rendered when he starts attacking you. Just focus on the real objectives on the map.

I don’t mind that much people alt+f4 out of the battle, just feels like a double victory to me. What’s the most funny part is the majority that i have encountered using this are the permastealth thiefs.
They must feel so proud of themselves behind their keyboards those times

I doubt he would have confirmed even the date if it wasn’t happening. Originally i think the big balance patch was prolly intented to come out at november but for some reason or another it got pushed back to december.

Hmm, i can’t see anything mashed up. Unless you mean guard/avoid combat switch option in which case it’s supposed to look like that.

Duhh.4102:

I find the Shortbow’s #1 skill to have the exact opposite issue as the longbow; it is too kitten fast. The first skill spams at such a ridiculous rate that it does enough damage to make the other four skills it has completely redundant. When I play Ranger, I force myself not to use the shortbow because I feel it makes the class a mindless overpowered spamfest. I think it requires a nerf as soon as possible. An added bonus from nerfing the shortbow is that doing so would hamper the viability of about 90% of the game’s bots :p.

Duhh , the autoattack isn’t too strong, just the other’s skills have too weak damage output.
Also,

Hmm, maybe Leaf of Kudzu. The legendary weapon that leaves footprints in the air.

There’s a ongoing topic on the dynamic events forums where people post when they get the temple open. I suggest you keep an eye on the topic.

Halo.8976:

Jarainee.8097:

No one promised you a free precursor. :P Now, people who didn’t get a chance at the chest have a reason to be upset.

Actually, they did say something about more entertaining way (not a “chance”) of getting precursor than just farming. So, one can consider this as a promise.
Then they broke this promise by giving people only one chance at one particular time. I.e. – nothing changed. Just mail everyone a precursor or make an event with reasonable drop rate. I see no reason why somebody who worked his behind for this digital shiny can’t get one while someone who don’t suddenly finds himself rich with no effort whatsoever.

That actually a whole different matter. They said they are working a ‘scavenger hunt’ type of way to acquiring a precursors. The karka chest had nothing to do with that.

Crafting yellow’s (rares) doesn’t require ectos but salvaging rares can produce ectos.

Gandara EU opened few minutes ago.

Rare materials is in this case are things like orichalcum and gossamer. So yeah, crudy salvage kit for green,blues,whites and mystic/black lion for rares/exotics.

nerva.7940:

dungeon finder wont fix anything. the world is DEAD right now. they need to keep the action in Tyria, not dungeons. if anything, rewards need to be better in the open world. id rather have a mindblowing open world and mediocre dungeons than having all focus shifting to crap like FOTM.

Someone explain to me why did they planned a beatiful dynamic world and then introduced a dungeon that requires spamming Lfg in a single city hub leaving the open world empty?

You can always check out Tor. There the load times were over a minute to certain planets(maps) :P

10 seconds is nothing.

So you are actually suggesting that the timing when the game is updated is deliberately done so that it would prevent your caps in WvW ? Really?

I just find the next line in your combat log as funny as the 13k hit.
You would need 13 crits in a row with your crossfire to match the damage output of that one warrior skill

Lucas Ashrock.8675:

Free? Obiouvsly the scavenger hunt must be designed to allow the player to get, following the path, all the mats needed to craft his legendary, from 1st to last mat needed. Obiouvsly, everything you get (mats included) following the path is accountbound not resellable, . Ah wait, i guess we will never see an update with such a sense.

Hmm, so the precursor isn’t enough for you, you also want the materials for the legendary to come also with it?
Why don’t they just mail the legendary to you to save some developement time.

I got the Dreamer. Nothing annoys the enemy in WvW like a pink ranger shooting rainbows at you with his pony bow

arcaneclarity.5283:

Dungeon Finder is never a solution to create a social game. If you want a social game, get rid of the instances altogether. Instances do nothing but isolate people from the game world.

The way fractals are designed hurts the communities alot also. Everyone in guild has no doubt noticed that making groups to them separates the people heavily, the ones on high levels refuse to do low level ones and low level ones can’t join the high ones and everyone end up spamming for groups instead in guild chat and lion’s arch instead of you know , like playing them.
Still can’t believe they came up with such a system.

Gandara EU just opened some minutes ago.

Yeah, seems so. Sending the pet out with f1 and didn’t even need to attack the target myself and the target comes at me. Need to check if it does that every time.

My pet fetches angry mobs randomly to fight with me even if i don’t want it to.

PearlGore.7419:

Since when was that a bug?

Guess you haven’t noticed it yet but , ranger doing damage=bug

Ranger

• Fixed a bug that allowed a ranger to have two traps of the same type active simultaneously.

Rant on.

A working pet that can hit moving targets, doesn’t get killed in 2 seconds by Aoe and has even remotely decent Ai.

Couldn’t you add obsidian shard karma vendors to some other place? Is it fair for people to deal with bugged content that’s blocking progress for months on end?
And the fix would be very simple if you actually would bother with it.

Fighting agains’t the super buggy Balthazar event chain is even more so…

Need the shards also but 6 days left with the transfer cooldown. Good times…

Magic find is flawed by design. Gain more by contributing less. Wut?

Mangoes.5163:

Just a note to Anet’s live team that these events are so bugged, so often, that players are pooling together to help each other identify servers to transfer to so they can finish their legendaries: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/events/Uncontested-Temple-of-Balthazar/page/8

That should give you some idea of exactly how much of a problem these bugs are, and how the complete lack of communication you’ve given the playerbase stings.

After weeks of watching these various events break at the drop of a hat and NPCs get stuck the instant they leave their spawn, I’ve simply decided to vote with my wallet: I won’t be spending a single cent more on this game until this event chain is fixed. Cheers!

Pretty much sums it up. Even if someone manages to unbug one of the escort chains the following chain are hard without all the reinforcements from every path. Huge waves of mobs keep spawning even with few players. So scaling doesn’t seem to work on these either.

Rng is rng whichever recipe you use. 1x might be better for unlucky people though

Used to 10x recipe today myself with 150 obsidian shards and got 60 clovers. 10 in the bank so i’m 7 short now. So i had much better luck than you.

I’d say getting the precursor is the least of your worries.

Gift of Magic and gift of might may be a different case since the new prices of tier6 mats.

250 Vicious Fang 45g
250 Armored Scale 40g
250 Vicious Claw 23g
250 Ancient Bone 5g
250 Vial of Powerful Blood 66g
250 Powerful venom sack 19g
250 Elaborate Totem 66g
250 Piles of crystalline dust 15g

That’s right. 279 gold for just the 2 parts that make a gift of fortune. That’s 5 times the price it was before in this new time after the ‘loot bug’ issue.

Wouldn’t it be a good idea to just add a obsidian shard vendor to someplace else? Why must the vendor be behind the permanently bugged event chain anyways?

Yonarq.1072:

Hi all. Its open on Gandara (EU) right now.

Thanks for the swift reply only 7 clovers missing now.

Any uncontested EU Balthazar temple’s around? thanks

Even the scaling on the events here don’t work as it should it seems, huge numbers keep spawning even when you are just with a few ppl.

Seems Warmaster Urho gets stuck every time when one of his pact members die. This is the case atleast on the middle path. And it doesn’t help his pact members are made out of paper.

Broken on Seafarers Rest. No way to buy shards once again.

Also stuck on Seafarers Rest EU.

I agree, stop force feeding part of the games that people don’t like down their throats. Just make monthly 5 part achievement and to complete you need to do 4 for them.

penatbater.4710:

I think the question here is what kind of community does anet want to attract/keep. The answer should reflect on their decisions.

Problem is they are trying to please two different crowds and may end up without neither in the process of pleasing both.

Sure, we are allowed to earn gold. But only in fractals.

Even if the precursors would be free the cost of legendary is much higher now than it was before the Lost Shores event with the skyrocketing tp material prices
