Next patch (7/15/14) - "Entanglement"

I find it hard to swallow that Mordi’s vines have spread that far. I mean under seas and mountains. And given the fact that the dragons oppose each other so I also find it hard to believe they would travel that far and not get attacked by Prim or bubbles. Also if they are moving that far that means the very ground is corrupted. And even if we kill Mordi, zhitan’s corruption is showing no signs of deminishing, the ground will remain corrupted for a long time.

I just find it a bit much, even with sespenshion of disbelief. It just dose not make any logical sence to me from how I understand they way the world of Tyria works.

It is a max-level zone, with max-level drops and as such it makes sense to require high-level crafting.

It doesn’t take much time or money to level up crafting from lvl 1-400.

Unless it’s tayloring.

well even if there is just a 10% chance that they fix it when seeing it here
would be enough to not post it on the forums
and i think the chance is bigger than 10% …
they even fixed the infinite spinning or looping other weaponanimations
that was a pure fun glitch with definitly no possibility to exploit it…
but they fixed it instead of doing other important stuff…anet logic

and what use is knowing how to do it if it gets fixed shortly after?
not much…
you had fun for for a short time and can be proud of denying fun to everyone who comes after the fix then…. :/

also believe me … searching for map glitches on your own and finding them is soo much more fun
there are many many map glitches in every single PvE map (some have more some have less)
and the satisfaction when you found it on your own is so good

you could just ask the one who posted screenshots in one of the many many topics or the one who made those topics about it in Lore/general discussion/living story forums how he got there

so you could have easily known already that the place exists ofc and just ask to get a portal to the place for example

I’m sorry but I really don’t see where you are coming from. It’s almost as if not telling people where something is or how to do it is the “cool” thing to do. The chances are that this will be in the next LW update, so it’s not like is going to be hidden forever and ANet fixing it will take it away for ever. As I said before, this camp is building hype and generating talking points on he forum, not to mention getting people into the new map and playing the game. The more people playing the better for ANet. A people in game playing mean they might spend in the gem store. And seeing as we know this is a small part of a much larger map, there will probably be other “glitches” like this when other parts unlock.

All in all theres not much content in this patch but the one part that bothers me, personally, is the lack of any real rewards from it.

How is there no reward from it? You can get ascended weapons recipes. That drop a lot more than the back items did. And they don’t cost karma or Laurels to get. You have the scarf, goggles and mantle. There is plenty of rewards. They are just not handed to you like in the past because you did some tick box list.

@Nihilus.3015
ofc we get the content anyway within the next time..
that makes it even worse that noone else can ever explore other parts of the maps if the mapglitches get fixed and then you cant make a screenshot on top of the highest rock et the edge of the map for an epic screenshot for example
or just explore the WHOLE map for fun…

why do you assume i want to keep the preview as a secret???

1) i myself ported dozens of people up
2) helped a friend to make a post in the lore forums with screenshots of the camp, the myserious figure, the flags etc… so everyone can see it and discuss
3) i said i would recommend you port people up too or maybe tell them the glitch ingame
but if you post in the forums it will get fixed and then NOONE can have fun with it…

see my point?

if you port people ingame or show them screenshots they can take part and see it but
if you post the glitch in the forums the first few people can do it and then it gets fixed and noone can have fun with it anymore…

@BrotherBelial.3094
anet did bother basically everytime a mapglitch was posted in the forums or as video on youtube
just for example when woodenpotatoes posted the gendarran mapglitch it got fixed…

edit:
i think you did it with good intentions and im not mad at you or anything^^
just maybe next time dont post the explanation how to glitch out on the forums
because then usually noone can have fun with it because it will most likely get fixed
also finding the glitches on your own is so much more fun!

And if it wasn’t posted on the forum I wouldn’t know how to do it. The door swings both ways. There’s a difference between “glitching” your way around a map to exsplor it and using it to brake the game. With the mega servers you might or might not ever meet someone to port you around and never see this. But I really can’t see ANet fixing this as it’s not braking anything and if anything is putting people in there new map and getting them pumped for the next chapter.

Glint Resurrection

in Living World

Posted by: BrotherBelial.3094

BrotherBelial.3094

What if…the Master of Peace is taking Glint’s offspring to Mordremoth to be corrupted, as Mordremoth as yet to choose it’s champion?

Umm… why would the Master want to do something Glint would oppose?

I get the impression that everyone always assumes Glint’s offspring to be benign. As far as I know there’s no indication that it is.

In fact, if the child has it’s mother’s powers, it’s just as likely that it is manipulating the Master into doing “something” instead. It would explain his odd behaviour.

This is a child who’s mother was murdered, correct? I’d think he’d be against the Elder Dragon(s) whom killed his mother then, no?

She was a champion. There is nothing to prove that the child would not become his new champion. Or it could be really po’ed and looking to tear the dragons a new one. Until/if we meet the child we can only guess.

Truth is, many people don’t care about the “story” part of Living Story. To us Living Story is only the vehicule by which we get new content that we might actually like.

So when a supposedly huge launch comes out (it is the start of season 2 after all) and it ONLY caters to the story-loving crowd, of course we’ll be disappointed.

I can see your point. If you don’t care about the story and/or are not an achievement chaser. I can see where you are coming from. I myself enjoyed the events. And the champs have nice little mechanics to make them interesting and not just a face roll auto attack frenzy.

Then I am done with this game. I’m simply not gonna go through a replication of season 1, where this drip feed of two week content that can be finished in a few hours which is hyped to enormity yet delivers jack crap! And I say that with a heavy heart because I truly believe this game had enormous potential…But they are simply not delivering.

Anybody could have seen everything there was to see in Dry Top within a few hours. Add in the fact that IF you wanted to bother with the achievements you had to go through the story twice yet you cannot skip it. Anet, let me be clear when I say this “Achievements are NOT CONTENT”!

Imagine they had started season 2 with at leats 3 new FULL maps and a new Dungeon with 3 paths and then said that’s your lot for at least 3 months? Wouldn’t that have been better and more exciting? This drip drip tap feed of "content " is absolutely NO different from LS1 and It’s like they are not listening.

Notice the only dev input on this forum is for people praising the new season…Fair enough..Keep your Ostrich in the sand attitude..there are PLENTY of games out there…

I loved this game…but unless I see PROPER DEEP content then yeh..I’m done and I know for a fact I’m not alone.

The game might not be delivering for you, but I have to say this is what I want from this game. I don’t get to play all that much so when I do it’s nice I can see everything in a few hours. No achievements are not content, but then you don’t have to do them. They are there if you want to. There is enough to keep you busy. I refuse to believe you have everything from this chapter. Every achievement, item, recipe. There are plenty of things to get. The content is only as deep as you make it. Have you spoken to every NPC? Listened to there conversations?

I don’t mean to sound rude or anything, but when ever I see a thread like this I hope one of two things happen. You get what you want from the next patch or you do leave, then there is one less post like this on the forum. I see the same thing from the same people all the time and they are still here. Again no wanting to sound rude. It just bugs me when people think saying they’ll stop playing the game will do anything. ANet will not change there plans for one person or a handful. If you can prove there is more than a handful of unhappy players then maybe you’ll achieve something.

Just remember games are ment to be fun. If your not having fun stop playing for a bit, just log in to get the chapters, then a few months down the line you might want to give the game another chance, and maybe it will be more to your liking. I did it with Guild Wars 2. After my bug filled exsperiance with the Southsun launch I stayed away from the game till the bazaar. Then I enjoyed the game a lot more. I’m still not a fan of whinters day, but that’s just me. And I’m sure not going to tell ANet to change it just because I don’t like it. The game will go on with out me.

now anet knows where to fix the mapglitch

you could have made more poeple happy by giving them a mesmer portal to the new area
but you just make it being fixed so that noone else can actually get there…

ofc there are more ways but luckily you dont know them yet (or you dont want to show the others ways which would be good)

good intention maybe to show this to everyone but you didnt think about it at all…
in the end noone else can get to the place when the glitchout gets fixed and noone can have fun with it…

Wow, just wow. Your assuming ANet are going to bother. We might be getting this content soon, so they’ll probably not bother.

Of them? I hope so. I hope I get to kill trehurn the. With the rest of the pact behind me I can put on my best Darth Sideous voice and give the order “Wipe them out, all of them.” I know it won’t happen, but I can dream.

[Poll] Rate Season 2 (so far)

Posted by: BrotherBelial.3094

BrotherBelial.3094

Ok, since my last post here I was still intending to give it some more try before I could really rate it.. However.. WTH is it with poison and push away? Seriously, I tried to play the second part of it and just at the beginning I got too many red circles over me with just 2 or 3 mobs nearby.. I had to watch over more the ground than the mobs I was fighting with! What about the d* pushes away from the golems C’mon, a single push is enough to immobilize us but 4 in a row?! I tried to play the second part of the story and in the part where you fight with Inquest interrogating Zephyr I was pushed away 4 times in a row that I was tossed out of the platform. What were my options? Restarting instance? No, there wasn’t a “leave instance” button.. Waypointing and coming back? No way as it says I was “still in combat” then I couldn’t use waypoint… Walking all my way up again? Naah as Lightning aspect keeps failing on me and tossing me out of my target… Exiting game? Yes, that was what I did…. :/

Regarding the visual part I say I liked it, the new map looks cool. Regarding the gameplay I have been more frustrated than enjoying it… I know it’s a level 80 map but these mobs are too strong to be done solo. Too many things at once! Pushing away is a golem mechanic someone could say and yes I know that, but please not 4 or 5 times in a row where I can barely react to.
I can’t even say about what I think about the story, achievements or other stuff so far as I haven’t had the mood to continue.. too much frustrations.. Sorry but I’m not a hardcore player and I dislike being overwhelmed. If they would lessen the push away and amount of buff on us or risen the dodge cooldown it would work better :S

I play as a warrior and the trick to beat the Golem is to keep it at range. I burned down the other 3 targets with my GS before switching to my rifle and just ranging him down. I am by no means the best player out there, but simple game mechanics should not be that much of a problem.

BrotherBelial.3094

I’m enjoying it. I like the change to the achievements. I now feel like I don’t have to grind out a meta. I can play it as much or as little as I want, it reminded me of my time playing Guild Wars. Playing to have fun. I don’t exspect to be able to finish everything. But it’s nice to know I can do them when ever I want.

Buts its too little content after so long without anything new and its not much to hold on to. I cant be kitten d repeating it so I will go back to my fps and beta mmo and even though I look in each update I wont stay for long. If many people just do as i do and dont properly engage with the world outside of each update how can that help keep a healthy sized consistent population? To be honest the way I feel let down right now i have no interest at all in coming updates. There will need to be something considerable to get me interested again.

There are a ton of events to do in dry top. I’m enjoying every bit of it. I don’t see how it’s too little content. The achievements are challenging. I still have about 3 to get, but the nice thing is that I can go back and do them when ever I want. Also I’m not tied to zerging around for the next 2 weeks trying to get the meta. If I want to do something else with my limited time I get to play I can and not miss out. I think the JP hit the sweet spot of challenging but not so much that you think “F*** that noise” after your first few attempts like the clock tower, and this is coming from someone who generally hates JP’s. The events are fun and different to other zones. With the LS working like this I also have a resin to level my alts and play the PS as my story is continuing. My only gripe is that my PC is silent. I wouldn’t mind if it had been this way right through but the PS spoilt me. I like hearing my warrior talk. I understand things are down on a budget, and I hope this is something that can be changed down the line.

Very cool catch there OP. But I don’t think we will see anything to do with the DoA. If they open that door, people will start to ask for FoW and UW. Then people will start saying about how the games turned human centric.

I personally would love to see all those places comeback, as well as all the other areas from Guild Wars.

What’s the problem with bringing FoW and UW back if it fits the story in a later state? At least Anet never stated they DON’T WANT to bring them back.

I have no problem with it. I just don’t want to wade through the pages of threads of people complaining. I would love to see the story o what’s happening with the UW/FoW and all the other plot threads that are just left from the Human PS and guild wars 1.

I’ve seen some graves for some of them but not all. Who did build the Eye of the North. Where have the 6 Gods gone? Why are there portals to the underworld spewing out monsters? How far have the White Mantle got in there plans to retake Kryta and can they be stopped? There are many more questions I have, but until/if we ever get to go back to Cantha/Elona they can wait.

It will be gemstore. Look at the signs.
Rox’s quiver=gemstore
Brahams armor/mace/shield=gemstore
Marjory’s dagger/axe=gemstore
Kasmeer’s staff=gemstore
Scarlet’s shoulderpads=gemstore

So, I see little hope that Belinda’s greatsword won’t also be in the gemstore

I completely agree. That’s why I’m saving my gold. As if it’s out this month I’ll not be able to get it. So I’m hoping it not going to be added till next month.

DE 2.0 as future heros (a la GW1)

Posted by: BrotherBelial.3094

BrotherBelial.3094

Anyone notice how our lovely NPCs actually helped and did work? Kasmeer is OP, she can create portals across gaps. Taimi and Braham wrecked face in combat. Rox actually put down a Healing Spring so I could blast it for heals.

Not only that, but we split the group up for a little bit. One part we’re with Kas/Marj, and then the next story we’re with the others. Could it be possible that later on in the story, we get to choose who comes with us for a mission? And go even further and say that if we pick Kasmeer, then the mission will involve more platforming because of portals. Or if we choose Braham, the mission is the same, but you go a different route and brute force your way in.

I don’t think well get to pick who comes with us. But yes. I do think that DE2.0 will be more like Mhenlo, Cyn, Devona, Aden and co from Guild Wars. A core group of NPC’s to help you along the way. I really enjoyed the story so far. Can’t wait for the next one.

"Permanent"

in Living World

Posted by: BrotherBelial.3094

BrotherBelial.3094

‘permanent’ in the same way your personal story is permanent: you are able to go back and re-play it if you want. and people that aren’t here now will be able to purchase chapters of the LS (probably with gems or laurels?) so they can experience it as well. It will not be ‘permanent’ in the way that southsun cove is permanent (ie. a place that is always there)

Well I was going to wait to do it, thinking I’d have lots of time, but your last sentence made me concerned. So they are going to take this zone away from us and all the achievements and such? What does it mean ‘not permanent like southsun cove’, it won’t be a place that is always there? How/where would it go? I thought the whole idea was to avoid the “hurry and get all your achievements done in 2-4 weeks” scenario?

Once you unlock the content it is always there. The achievements will always be there. They are not taking anything away. It will always be there. They wouldn’t have added achievements in the main achievements if they where gong to take it away. There are story instance ones too. They only unlock once you’ve done the story for the first time. The. You can replay it as much as you want.

No. That is total Bull. My PC was built 7 years ago. For around £500.

Can’t remember the middle. 1000W switching PSU, I think it’s coolerball, Gigabyte case. The only time I get bad frame rates is in WvW, but I just drop the setting from all on, to best performance. And it’s fine. So that statement is completely false.

GW1 Lores for GW2 Living World S2?

Well there are inquest in the area, and the area is reminiscent of where inquest have done experiments, given the effects of the confused and misplaced creatures. That being said, I wasn’t able to figure out any lore indicating what exactly was supposed to be happening in the area (I’m not a “lore hound” though).

However, if there is any indication of this being an area that ties into GW2 LW2, it would imply that at least a portion of Tangle Root from GW1 will be present on the next map(s), which also houses Maguuma Stades, and in GW1 also exits to Dry Top.

I mention Maguuma Stades because an infamous Mursaat Rally happened there (google it), so in totality, there is a whole lot of GW1 references that can be made with a lot of the areas being opened up. Ultimately, being able to place the dragons resurrection point will be key in figuring out which pieces of maps we’ll see.

Still, speculation aside, we’ll be better off waiting to see what happens in about 8 hours or so from this post (at the very least).

See you on patch day everybody!

Just Googled the Mursaat Rally. I never knew that happened. Really cool. I hope this would tie in some how. Would be amazing if it did.

Well,… GW2 is a big boy and handles itself now… NCSoft puts all his attention on his newborn WildStar. I won’t expect much improvement in this game from now on.

Actually, if NCSoft loosens its “grip” on GW2 a bit, that could be a very GOOD thing in terms of development direction and pressure to be the cash cow of the company.

I agree. As long as there are no bumps in the road cash flow wise, and no resin for NCSoft to wonder what’s going on with Guild Wars 2, the Dev’s might be able to get back to what they do best. Making a great game. Publishers sometimes I feel have too much say on when a games ready to ship. Bioware have suffered from this ever since EA bought them. They went from making Epic single player Games like KoTOR, Jade Empire Mass Effect and Dragon Age to the shells that DA2 ME2/3 TOR. Ok I did enjoy ME2/3 but I would have enjoyed them more if they had been more like ME1.

I don’t even want to think how much I’ve spent on this game since launch. I don’t spend every month. But normally I spend any birthday and Christmas money I get on gems(my birthday is a week before Christmas) and if I get a bonus for work and I want to treat my self I get some then. Normally I convert to gold or buy keys. But I’ve spend well over £1000. At launch I got the Digital delux preorder and around £70 of gems. For the first year I spend around £20-40 a month, last Christmas I spent £160 over December alone. That did get me in hot water with the wife. So if I had to guess I’d say I was close to the £2000 mark than the £1000. So even if I was to never spend a penny again. I think I’ve more than helped the game along, and as for Guild Wars 1. I bought everything from the ingame store bar a few winters day outfits and the merc packs. My hero’s work just fine.

GW1 Lores for GW2 Living World S2?

Posted by: BrotherBelial.3094

BrotherBelial.3094

Just curious, but has this always been here? It’s directly west of the Shattered Henge skillpoint. It has a bunch of crazed creatures that are out of their environment like the Fire Elemental Reactor (not trying to type out Therma etc etc right now).

Regardless of whether it has or hasn’t, is there any current story/lore explaining exactly what the light is in regards to? It appears to be coming from the GW1 Tangle Root map.

Anyhow, yeah, don’t know if this is useful at all or not, just noticed it today while doing map completion in the area for the first time.

Not wanting to sound like a kitten or anything. Could it be the sun?

Here’s a different angle, and it doesn’t appear to be the sun, at all. It has a lightning effect, and the same effect is also present on the ground.

It looks the same colour as the main crystal in the Aroura Glade mission if I remember correctly. It could be light refracting from that. Which would be very cool.

I’m pretty sure the Gates of Maguuma would have at least some throwback in some for to the “mursaat rally” in guild wars 1 (google for details) seeing as it was held in maguuma stade. May not be the focus of the release, but I would be almost upset if there wasn’t mention of it somewhere in the lore of the area. It was a pretty awesome event, was anyone else there?

Was it? I thought it was from Bettleton to LA.

Glint's offspring inside the Zephyrite ship?

Posted by: BrotherBelial.3094

BrotherBelial.3094

Remember Glint’s lair in GW1 was inside a single grain of sand in the crystal desert. If the offspring of Glint also has her powers then it’s size is irrelivant. It could fit anywhere.

I have been to the lair and also read the books but I do not remember Glints Lair fitting in a single grain of sand.

Not saying you are wrong, I just don’t remember.

It’s in the story of Guild Wars Prophercies. I can’t remember when it’s said but it’s in the crystal dessert section I think.

No it’s not. In the book edge of Destiny, Glint has the power of illusion. Destinys Edge are walking through her lair before she reviews herself and them in her lair. So size is very relevant. Also someone else in this thread said that Glint put the legend of her lair being in a single grain of sand. To stop people trying to find her. Sand shifts a lot. If what you where looking for something the size of a grain in a dessert, you’d not bother.

Factions and racism against Sylvari?

in Living World

Posted by: BrotherBelial.3094

BrotherBelial.3094

i recommend spending some time in lion’s arch then. especially as a sylvari character.

Little touches like that have me loving this game even more.
I can’t nor will I ever support faction systems based on the races joining together.
The races themselves provide a decent difference for the stories taking place.
I do though love how even when the Pact is combining all the Orders together, we still have individuals who are petty or bitter due to personal tragedies.

As such the Sylvari hatred in Lion’s Arch. I don’t mind seeing some of that on a small scale, but I don’t want to see Sylvari versus the world dynamics.

I’d be quite happy to see the Sylvari wiped from the face of Tyria. I find them boaring and they just don’t seem to fit. I know ANet made them for guild wars 2, but I feel eye of the North introduced the races nicely and I would have rather seen the Tengui as a playable race. Would have made way more sence.

Factions and racism against Sylvari?

Posted by: BrotherBelial.3094

BrotherBelial.3094

If the world is ever-changing and new features are added on the run, could the recently experienced racism against sylvari mark a starting splitting between the races? Obviously we can already beat the dragons if the races work together. Probably something has to happen to raise the stakes, to question our secure victory.

Almost every MMO out there has factions – even GW1. Why is that?

Would you a approve a factions system like Silvari,Norn,(Tengu?)-vs-Asura,Charr,Humans?

I don’t like this idea, and guild wars didn’t have it really. It was just a way to let people pick a team, really it was the birth of WvW.

Other MMO’s have done this and it’s worked for some but not for others. As someone said this would lead to picking what race you wanted to play vs playing with your friends. This happens for me in WoW. A lot of my friends Played Hord, but I liked the Drenie and they are Alliance. So I didn’t get to play the race I really wanted to play all that much till most of my friends stopped playing or moved to playing Alliance.

Im hoping for some really epic scene of an Elder Dragon fighting a giant wooden flying ship, even though the Dragon doesnt stand much of a chance based on the result of the last encounter. Still, there is some footage of the Zhephyr ship got taken down so I guess it gonna be 4- 5 Dragons gang up together to fight the mighty baloon so we will have something really epic

Posted by: BrotherBelial.3094

Yeah..it’s not really a baby dragon anymore.

They’re gonna need a bigger boat…

That is a good point. Her offspring must be gigantic right now, so it will never fit.

Unless it’s offspring that hatched later from an egg we do not know about yet.

Glint’s offspring could still be quite small. Glint wasn’t all that big herself. Also, how old do dragons live? It seems that Glint’s offspring would still be quite young.

There’s no evidence that says Glint’s child is large.

I’m pretty sure those dragons don’t take hundreds of years to mature.

Why not they seem to be ageless. Anyways, I’m glad you’re so sure despite the fact you have no evidence.

Play eye of the North, the baby is too big then. There is the evidence.

war in kryta is the tyria end story, EotN is only a lead to GW2…..

sorry forgotten about War in Kryta.

Back on topic:

There is one other thing that still remains a mystery since GW1 and that is what happened to Saul D’Alessio.

From the bonus pack story we learned the truth about what really happened when the White Mantle was formed and that the Mursaat took Saul away because they gave him their most powerful magical knowledge that allowed him to resist the Mursast’s magic and to prevent him from turning the krytans against the Mursaat since he discovered their true nature.

My guess would be they killed him. Or kept him prisoner. 250 years on its safe to say he’s dead.

You should probably look at getting a different ISP. There are quite a few out there these days with unlimited downloads/bandwidth, some do come with a fair usage policy but I’ve never met anyone who has had the policy inforced.

The Demagogue has been there since the game launched. The entire event chain which leads to fighting him is a throw back to a GW1 mission. You are just the most recent person to have found this area for the first time and posted about it on the forums.

Never meant to say he would have anything to do with updates. He makes it easier to find the location though. It’s the swirling circle behind him and its thorn framing I find intriguing, since it matches the teaser pictures better than Fort Vandal.

I will check this out tomorrow.

I think that the mursat are gone all but one. And the mantle were officialy iniciated into the seraph together whit the shinig blades. Thou the ideology may still be alive somehow.

This in kind of true. There where shining Blade spy’s in the ranks of the mantle. And depending on who you where I. The ranks of the mantle would determine what you knew. So there may be people classed as white Mantle but wanted no part of the attack on LA. And they where what is now the seraph, and other went In to hiding. There where probably loayal White Mantel in the ranks of the first seraph right up to the current guild wars time line as human PS players may know as well as order of whispers members. The Mantel are alive and well. Also I’m sure when they ran, they ran in to Maguma.

EDIT;
Also if I remember right there is a Mantel camp west of Ventars refuge. But then it could be a shining blade camp that’s being attacked. I can’t remember 100%. Will check when I can.
