Guild Wars 2

Influence are earned separately across servers.
There is no way to transfer.

Theorick.2713:

What they have decided is that now, this is imbalanced. What I find perplexing is that given the extended development time of this game plus the fact we are now 6+ months into release they have only now realised how a skill that works according to their tooltip actually works.

Problems often go unnoticed or unaddressed until they’ve become more widespread. This is not exclusive to the gaming world.

YTY.4712:

He is not talking about player behaviour. He means that ANET is tweaking the dungeons with the assumption of 5xlvl80 players when they should keep it possible to do at the required level, also.

Except that’s not the way the tweaking worked. I’ve done 2 out of 3 paths since patch with some sub-80’s. We did have 3x 80’s, as I’ve already stated, but it was also our first time running through the new boss mechanics. So I believe it is entirely possible to do the dungeon with sub-80’s non-exotics given enough patience and/or practice.

I believe you are confusing player opinions with design intent. My post-patch AC group had a level 36, 70, and 3x 80’s. Admittedly, that’s a pretty high level average compared to the stated level 35, but as it was our first time doing the new bosses, we came a little over prepared. I would not be surprised if we could repeat our success with a level average closer to the 35 cap.

Leo Paul.1659:

nope they have it equipped. my friend said it was a bug when the laurels were first introduced i think. they managed to get tons of them.

How do you know they have it equipped?

SilverWF.4789:

chtiyonki.6284:

Just to be clear, Omnomberry Ghost/Pie wasn’t only regenerating you of 330 Health but also doing 330 damages to the opponent making a gap of 660 Health between you and him.

Any proofs of this?

Isn’t that how life steal works?

As a frequent user of these kits, I felt the change was justifiable.

Patch notes indicated some refugees moved into Lion’s Arch. I looked for an orange star.

The other 4 pieces will be available upon further release of content for the living story event. It does not (or should not) depend on server or daily reset.

Talk to the refugees in the SE section of Lion’s Arch, specifically, the two with names.

Group events literally would say [Group Event] in the title. The most popular ones are the dragon events and map bosses, though there are others.

Group events are designated such based on the developers perception of the difficulty and whether you need a large group to finish it, where as the Orr defense event just happen to attract lots of players because of their profitability, but can otherwise be completed by fewer players (keeping in mind that most of the time you are seeing the scaled up version of event)

Sometimes I read through a thread and realise all that I wanted to say has been said by someone else, or a collection of various other posters. There isn’t often a need to repeat a statement in such cases unless there appears to be an overwhelming disparity between the two or more sides of an argument such that people begin to make claims as “everyone agrees that…”

Rifter.6591:

FateZero.8536:

I ran Arah story mode and it counts. The other 4 I just did CoF path 1 for 4 times, lol.

Is CoF 1 fast to run? is that why people seem to like doing that one so much?

Yes. 6-12 minutes.

SteepledHat.1345:

Oh god, please put it back to the way it was. Did it ruin the anomaly too?

No. And they already fixed it.

As an aside, sheathed means not drawn.

Fractals has their own achievements, so it made sense it did not count as dungeon.

You can repeat a path for credit.

Yes, please.

That’s been noticed long ago – lot of stat sets are missing from ascended tier. So far no response from devs on that matter however – so we don’t know if this is a result of forgetfullness, or deliberate planning.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Ascended-amulets-and-ascended-items-overall/page/4#post1342141

Maybe it, maybe not.

Isaiah Cartwright.8569:

We do plan on adding more stat combo to existing ascended item types as well as adding more stat combos to new types.

Kilrain Daggerspine.6843:

3 min warning dosnt help much if your in a dungeon or fractal :P

If you are in an instance, the grace period is 3 hours. Open world is 3 minutes.

The bats being in the tunnel is random, perhaps a 1 in 20 chance of happening. This was true even before the latest maintenance patch. I would guess the bats in the tunnel is unintended the same way the Dredge fractal has a similar low chance of spawning extra dredges before the first gate.

I have done grawl fractals a few times since, and there were no extra bats.

Ectoplasm do not drop directly.

GummiBear.2756:

Khaine.9286:

If im not mistaken, none of the ascended items from the laurel vendor was ever intended to have the ability to be infused with agony resistance (not even the rings), just the items you get from fractals.

ehmm aint the rings for the laurel vendor the exact same rings you get from fractals?

They certainly look exactly the same. Never did understand where this idea came from that the rings were different.

There’s no reason why you can’t use up the rest of the crystals on one character before moving onto another for things like clovers. Especially as you’ve said that the items made are not soulbound.

Yes, you can equip it before adding in an infusion to the slot.

I am too sad to answer this question.

1 in 10? I’ve gotten my hammer on my 2nd 20+, then not anything else in something like 40x 20+’s

bluewanders.5297:

It works fine… I have one. First off… it doesn’t say anywhere in the description that ONLY exotics fill it first and everything else avoids it. Things like junk that don’t have a specialized bag will fill your inventory at the first possible space. So if your exotic bag is at the top slot of inventory bags… it is going to constantly be filled by non-exotic things.

Actually, leatherworker can make a junk bag. You can have a bag for almost everything.

Rocklin.4106:

if everyone should be able to play the game the way he wants. Then everyone should have the right to open a dungeon group and picking only the best dps geared players for it, if thats the way HE wants to play this game.

beeing able to play the game the way you want, doesnt mean others have to take you into every dungeon with that attitude, because they can play it how and with whoever they want as well. If someone asks strictly for exotic geared glasscannons and you run a bunkerbuild and ask for an invite, you are nothing more than a liar, just go find another group that accepts you “the way you want to play”, anet has done nothing wrong there, everyone IS able to play the game he wants.

This.

Daroon.1736:

There are dozens of great items on merchants that I don’t think I have ever seen anyone using in game while playing

Whispers spy kits
experimental teleport device
healing seed pods
Ice gun
Golem in a box
Ogre wolf whistle

to name a few.

Anyone else using these items? and if so in what situations do you find them useful?

I only have 4 of those things out of your list, and 3 of them are not bought with karma. But yes, I use them.

Amos.8760:

What is this scrolling? Do you not have your inventory window sized to see the whole thing? Also – just swap the weapons from the left side of your hero screen…

I scroll, 160 slots stretched can get pretty big. Not complaining about scrolling, because that’s the way the game works and I adapted to it.

/wiki defiant
/wiki unshakable

KazNaka.4718:

wait…let’s look at the quote: “If possible, weapons and armor of exotic rarity will fill this box before other empty spaces.”

So you’re saying yes, exotics will fill this bag first if I happen to get a drop, but it doesn’t prevent non-exotics from filling it up? If so…..that’s a really lame bag.

Exactly as described.

KazNaka.4718:

lol? if you place it last, then what’s the point of it being a priority bag? Also, if I place it last, I’d have to scroll down every time I want to swap weapons…

Exotics prioritise entering the bag doesn’t mean the bag will exclude non-exotics from entering it. That’s it. That’s how it works.

Anything looted that does not fit into any other category bags you posses will automatically be dumped into the first available bag.

Nokaru.7831:

The difference between Magic Find and Berserker’s can be between 35-40% damage. This is because anyone who is a MF Leech will generally not wear Exotic quality MF gear (usually Masterwork; sometimes Rare), and the lack of Critical Damage is a massive damage loss for most Professions. This player is, on average, making the group kill things 15% slower, so that they can get 60% more drops.

Read “Confessions of a Magic Find Leech”: for more info.

Why does that link ask me to log in as if it’s GW2 site but is has the “account-dev.ncplatform.net” domain?

It’s great that some of you can successfully run a dungeon in full MF or naked without ever downing. Now please teach it to the rest of the population that could actually benefit from some toughness, vitality, or offensive stats that ensures faster kills for “active defense” in place of having MF.

Thanks.

Eastevil.1534:

maddoctor.2738:

I got 5000+ achievement points just yesterday with only 46 points in Agent of Entropy. So it certainly IS doable.

What the problem is, is that agent of entropy is “infinite”. Meaning after a certain amount of salvaging the ahievement points in this tier will reset allowing players to loop this cycle. You don’t really believe that 6/200 salvaging gives 46 points?

Someone exploited this and came onto the forums to give himself a pat on the back for reaching 20k achivement points.

Doesn’t look like that’s what’s happening in this thread.

wadey.2356:

Hi all,

Is there an option to be able to check your various crafting levels (on one character) without paying to change your active crafts ?

example: I have tailoring & leatherworking as my 2 active crafts, but want to check my chef level.

Thanks in advance

Go to dialogue to reactivate craft, divide cost by 10 coppers per level.

or

Go to crafting station of the craft you want to check, read it off the experience bar at the top of the crafting interface.

LordByron.8369:

i won t say that ascended rings are fair priced….
But did u notice how more powerful are them compared to fotm ones?
+30% MF? +20% Gold?

those infusion cannot be applied to fotm versions and will make you rich….
For how they have been done every players should need one of each…
One for fotm with AR and another with those infusion for other dungeons/pve….

Also infusions with stats for fotm versions costs so much…

I hope they ll rethink those infusions and lower prices on non fotm also…

The utility infusions cannot be applied to Laurel rings either. They are the same rings as FotM. I cannot tell if there’s a part of the Laurel vendor that I am not seeing that are selling these utility rings I have not found, but there are quite a few posts around saying this…

Dante.1508:

I tell you what.

Id rather do years of dailies to get my laurel Rings and whatever than those hundreds of fractal runs people had to do… any day..

I believe four trinkets a month would have been fairer than they are now, but my need to play Guildwars 2 is so low lately i’ll probably never need any of this..

It takes 19 runs for the first ring, and 10 for subsequent rings. This is assuming you obtain them through pristine relics only, without considering the chance for drop when you are getting those pristine relics.

Black Wolf.7348:

it appears new rings have been added and they have utility slots.

and yes OP, utility infusions only go into utility infusion slot.

Not at the laurel vendor, and I have not gotten one from Fractals or otherwise. Yet somehow I keep hearing all over the forums how everyone will have multiple gilded infusions soon when all I can find is one item with utility slot so far.

The rings at the laurels vendor are the same as the ones in Fractals. 10 stat sets x 2 varieties (offensive/defensive). That’s also why there are 30 amulets comprised of 10 stat sets x 3 varieties (offensive/defensive/utility).

Please provide images of utility rings if you have any.

Zenith.7301:

Jski.6180:

You did not read all that on the rings there is a new utilities so you can put the +20 % mf gold find and the 15% karma. It makes some way to get rings if you do not run fractal and a use beyond that of just fractal.

Unless that 15% karma works on jugs, nobody will slot utility over raw stats. Certainly not people who care for WvW.

Rings don’t come with utility slot variety, only amulets.

Shiren.9532:

I agree that the reason the amulets were not added to the relic buy lists is because they didn’t want to give them to be purchased right away by people who stockpiled the relics (the same reason why I believe they won’t ever add them to WvW for badges, some people have tabs full of badges) but I disagree with that decision. I don’t think most people have that many relics. Most people don’t even have rings. I also don’t think they can just ditch a currency once they think players have accumulated too much of it. They need to keep adding new things to buy with karma, badges, tokens and relics and give equal access to the ascended items via all these sources. They are making obvious attempts to calendar gate people from accessing rewards as opposed to letting you earn it in whatever amount of time you have, I just think that’s a very short sited and unfair way to go about it.

They should have added the amulets to the merchant in FotM in addition to the laurel vendor.

My thoughts exactly. Increase the means of availability, not change the ways to get it.

CHOAM.7852:

Dytima.4092:

Has anyone tested to see if the “Versatile Simple Infusion” will go into an item with a Utility Infusion slot?

I don’t see how anyone could afford an amulet to perform this test, unless there’s another way to get the amulet that I am not aware of yet.

Nevermind, Triforge upgrades gives utility slot… anyone tried it yet?

BurnWeed.5902:

lol – i’ve just realised how glass cannon i am with jormag – only 13k health, so 2 hits = downed . . . .BUT my kill credit must be good as yellow/greens from the mobs. IF they do change the loot rewards (more) then i will go back to a bit tankier- BUT if they dont then i think i will carry on with this spec for the drop rate.

Wait, where’s this information from that quality of loot scales with damage/“quality” of kill credit? Or did you just mean more loot overall, so more chance at better loot?

I run defensively, and my drop rates are fine.

Archer.1658:

you have to constantly be on your toes in WvW

Sounds perfectly reasonable

Applying upgrade component always soulbinds an item. And you cannot upgrade an item that is sitting in your bank but soulbound to another character.

Kahrgan.7401:

Yaki.9563:

And just how you are going to support your group if you’re downed or dead?

But nice troll post

I don’t run AH, yet am up and supporting my group at various exploreables and Fractals up to 27 so far.

The Fish.8079:

Interesting. There seems to be some confusion. Some are saying that all burn effects are the same while the wiki source implies there are different severities of burn effects.

To me, it makes no sense that they are all the same. If that were the case, then there wouldn’t be much of a point of spells having lower front end damage and a DOT instead of just high front end damage. The reason for this is your auto attacks would apply just as good of a DOT.

There are different severities of burned if burning is applied by different people with different stats. If you are only considering your own spells in a solo situation, duration is the only difference.

Oglaf.1074:

The issue of Oricalchum and Gossamer is a different beast though; both are randomly gotten when salvaging and in order to maximize your chances you need to use the higher quality Salvaging Kits which cost around 15s each.

Except that Oricalchum can also simply be gathered.

Maximising your chance is not as efficient as maximising your return on value by simply buying salvageable whites off the TP and using the 88c Basic Kit with the money you save by not using a Master kit on non-ecto producing salvages.

Oglaf.1074:

As I said, not in the same quantities. I guess Leatherworking is double screwed in that regard though because neither of the materials can be gathered.

At tier 6, leather is worth almost nothing. So harvest some orichalcum, sell it, and buy some leather. If anything, leatherwork is at a huge advantage because of this.
