Mixing Legendaries together? Possible?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Bullfrog.1324

Bullfrog.1324

Could be a bug with having two legendaries equipped. I’m guessing The Juggernaut is his secondary weapon, and when unsheathes Sunrise, he gets the visual effects from both.

Otherwise, no idea :P

Enemies running away?

in Guardian

Posted by: Bullfrog.1324

Bullfrog.1324

I’ve noticed certain mobs run away when their health gets low. Most “yellow” wildlife (like Moas), Ascalonian peasants, the “yellow” dredge excavators, skale, and critters that don’t seem to be made for combat in general. I thought it was a nice touch that non-combat mobs would flee when their health got low.

Something to notice, even though they run away, they’ll return in a few moments if you let them be. It’s like certain mobs have an invisible fear effect that triggers at a certain HP level.

Perm immobilized bug ????

I have had this happen a TON. Probably about 8-10 times if I had to guess. Yeah, it’s REALLY annoying when it happens. Although fairly limited, I’ve seen a couple ways to get out of it without re-logging that I’ve found.

1. “Usually” teleport or leap skills will get you out of it successfully.
2. Mobs that fear will break you out of it.

This is the same for me. Never been feared out of a lockup, but leap skills work great.

Anyone notice an increase in GW2 crashing?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Bullfrog.1324

I’ve had crashes every 2-4 hours since I started playing a month ago. Usually of the “Out of memory” variety. It usually happens when I am waypointing or gating to another location.

That being said, I’ve not noticed an increase in crashes in the last few days, nor have I ever been asked to verify my files after a crash happens.

Worth Keeping Guardian Pauldrons?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Bullfrog.1324

Bullfrog.1324

The skins for the pauldrons are unique, so if you were really wanting to transmute them, you’ll need to get another set. Personally, I saved my pauldrons until level 40 or so, then scraped them. I decided that I’m going to transmute the Vigil armor onto my final set, so I had no use for them anymore.

That being said, I’ve heard mention of ways to get starter armor to other characters. Its usually done to get armor from other professions, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t in this case. Unfortunately, I don’t know the method (and it may have been fixed), so you’ll have to do a little searching.

Map Exploration 100% includes P vs P WHY ?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Bullfrog.1324

Bullfrog.1324

My biggest complaint about needing the WvW maps for 100% is that three of the four maps are identical (well, the skill point challenges are a little different). If all three borderlands counted as one map, you wouldn’t have to wait for your colors to switch, you could just work on the map from the three different sides.

Hilarious moments during the event?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Bullfrog.1324

Bullfrog.1324

I was with a group when the Lionguard was building bridges. A lot of people, myself included, decided it would be fun to make a jumping puzzle out of the half-completed bridge and get across ourselves. When the bridge completed itself, a couple of people got stuck in the bridge. This, while funny, was not the best part. A Guardian using Mighty Blow (#2 on the hammer) tryin to knock the stuck people out the other side was the funny part

Vigorous Precision doesn’t have a hidden cooldown. It’s a great trait for DPS Guards.

I’m a newbie Guardian. How would VIGOR help DPS??

It doesn’t. It would proc AH more often and let you dodge more often, but doesn’t directly increase DPS.

Bullfrog.1324

WvW is mostly unplayable by people with mid- to low-range machinces and you thought putting the entire server into Lion’s Arch and then starting combat was a good idea? Kitten me gently with a chainsaw.

In the future, if one-time events must involve combat, by all means split the population up into smaller chunks. Either have a similar event happen in several different locations, or break the population up into smaller instances. Sort of like in GW1 how you could choose which district of a city to be in. That way friends could still enjoy the event together, but 500 people aren’t all trying to spam attack skills at the same time.

Or, like has been mentioned before, DON’T DO ONE-TIME EVENTS! I’m glad this was a day off and that I didn’t use a leave day, or I’d be really upset.

Altruistic sword build

in Guardian

Posted by: Bullfrog.1324

Bullfrog.1324

Additionally: people seem to like to couple AH and EM with the hammer. the hammer is much slower and doesn’t have that many boons either (the symbol at the end of the chain and the following blast finisher), or does that make such a big difference?

The special thing about the hammer is how the symbol applies the boons. By default, I think it provides 3s of protection. It doesn’t do this as a single 3s boon, but rather as three 1s boons. The retaliation from MB only triggers once (I think), but that’s four boons every cycle. Plus you get the benefits from critical hits.

It’s only Friday afternoon in the US. In Europe it’s Friday evening. I’ve heard mention that there are many more European players currently than there are US players, so it would make sense for the event to kick off in their prime-time.

I just hope they implement a “Hall of Monuments” type event viewer soon so that I can watch the event later when I get online.

At first I was in agreement with th OP until I learned that there were siege blueprints at the end of the puzzles. Now I’m completely fine with people setting up seige equipment there to keep the chests guarded.

Sylvari armor looks........odd

in Sylvari

Posted by: Bullfrog.1324

Bullfrog.1324

Guild Wars 1 had a lot of armor choices… after three expansions. In the initial release there were only four / five armor sets for each profession (8 / 10 if you count the 15k versions). I have no doubt that armor variety will increase as more content is released.

As for the way armor fits, I agree that some work needs to be done. The reason I switched to Sylvari is because of how poorly most armor fits on the Asura. Substance E hit the nail on the head by saying Charr look like they mugged a human and tried to wear their armor

Glow and character creation

in Sylvari

Posted by: Bullfrog.1324

Bullfrog.1324

My first character was an Asura, so while I had found the lighting button during character creation, I didn’t really see a use for it. Thus, I ignored it when creating other characters. The only reason I’ve got an appropriate glow on my Sylvari is because I read about it on the forums before making her (thanks guys).

I would also pay money for the ability to change appearance in-game. I like my characters colors / features to harmonize with their armor, but since I have no idea what I’ll be wearing at 80, it’s hard to plan accordingly ahead of time

Underwater Combat Difficulty

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Bullfrog.1324

Bullfrog.1324

I used to have trouble with underwater combat, but now that I’ve done it a few times with different classes (and upgraded my underwater weapons) I find it as easy or easier than combat on land. I agree that the ranged weapons make underwater combat much easier.

My biggest gripe, though, is that sometimes when I’m halfway through killing a critter “immune” will start popping up and they return to their spawn point while regenerating their health. It happens more frequently when using melee weapons, at least in my experience.
