Guild Wars 2

Stark.1350:

Did you have enough people to do each lane? No problem with each boss in terms of DPS and platform distribution?

Nope, all lanes were full (25)

The last run in TC (4 PM server time), we succeeded in a perfect run with all five breaking the chains in one go.

TC has killed it multiple times, the last run was a absolutely perfect run. Zero chain failures.

Based on Scarlet’s Secret lair, I get the feeling it is going to get a bit darker. Her objective seems to be to eventually awaken and kill the jungle dragon that has driven her mad.

My guess is it will end with her succeeding in awakening, but failing to kill it.

This is just a horrible piece of work by ANET. Living story events are meant to be played. They should be required a hardcore guild coordinating to beat it.

Let me make it really easy for you ANET: Build accessible content as part of the living story. Do separate side bosses for the hardcore guilds. Making the entire living story hardcore is just plain dumb.

They did, the marionette is much easier and to me at least, also more entertaining.

Pretty sure it was beaten earlier, wasn’kitten

Exquisitor.5076:

Evidence? Forums indicate lots of complaining…

Please find me a game forum that isn’t filled with complaints.

I’ll wait

I’ve yet to succeed ( usually getting 4/5) but I honestly feel like this will be the perfect difficulty level to please (most) people. It’s a good middle ground between the old snorfest boss difficulty and the new Teq level difficulty, with a bit of a leaning towards Teq.

Personally, I just use Lopez’s build. It’s not the best for PVE of course due to how conditions fare in PVE but I find it enjoyable and it works for me.

Good to see the Guardian forum has yet to progress beyond “NO YOU’RE WRONG” since I last visited.

Belzebu.3912:

Asians

;D

Seriously, culture wise they don’t have the equivalent on Earth, they are like a religious scientists, very rational and believe in the Eternal Alchemy.

So Scientology, just minus the rational part.

Also I’m using the term scientist extremely loosely here.

Main hand pistol please!!!

I have been mourning the lack of this option since the BWEs.

We have TWIN pistols named after Lyssa!

WHY WE NO DUAL PISTOLS ANET!? WHY!?

Lyssa is also the patron god of Thieves.

Perhaps, but the pistols are very obviously designed with Mesmer in mind.

There’s a reason the GW2 economy is one of the best I have personally seen.

You can dye it fully.
Brotip: spend the extra 200 gems for the top hat and look like a proper gentleman

Or a proper Scrooge

P.S. handing out random wintersday cheer in the form of grumble cakes and coal Bah Humbug!

This is why town clothes need to be wearable over armor god kitten it.

Ah Evon, always looking after his source of income. As is expected from a swinidler like him.

That sounds more accurate.

To be fair, if I recall correctly, Evon prevented an attack on Lion’s Arch or something like that. Bit fuzzy on the short story about it.

WyldKat.4712:

In Molten Alliance, worm gets inside YOU.

…..giggity?

UnknownAssailant.2375:

So according to the news, the next living story patch won’t come until late January.
But isn’t this what we wanted?
For the developers to put more time into each release so that its more polished and engaging.

There is literally nothing the devs could release that would not result in at least 2-4 threads complaining.

Koracus.5780:

Infamous Darkness.3284:

“Because Evon Gnashblade’s the hero Lions Arch deserves, but not the one it needs right now.” “He’s a silent guardian. a watchful protector.” Mr. E

If Evon is Batman then Kiel must be Hawk Girl since she’s kitten LAAAAAAAAAAME

Hey, I like Hawk Girl

Well, the Justice League cartoon version anyways.

lakdav.3694:

Thank the gods, i dont need ascended armor.

Do you?

Does anyone?

The only time you’d need is if you are doing level 50 fractals, even then I’m not entirely convinced you absolutely need it however.

……..do people not know about the wp?

Healix.5819:

They already have plans to remove the difference between PvE and PvP clothes, allowing you to wear your PvE gear in PvP and vice versa.

^This, the solution already in the works.

Andele.1306:

nahh, its just annoying… and tedious… and buggy with hitboxes, Clocktower still no1.

I’ve ran both dozens of times……..and never once ran into bugs in the wonderland.

Unless you mean the one where you constantly slide? If so that’s not unique to this JP and can be fixed by emoting.

Gerrand.3085:

There are no nice people in the inquest, the Krait, the pirates (bar like 2 pirates who were kicked out), the Dredge, the Nightmare court or the Flame legion.

Wrong, you do meet rebel, friendly dredge in I believe frostgorge or one of the other shiverpeak zones. Also the race as whole is not evil, they are Soviet Russia. Their government controls them with propaganda and fear of being enslaved again, unable to see they are already enslaved.

I find it hard to give a kitten about the ascended light armor now that PVE Rubric is becoming a reality.

Horses and Foxes are the great mythological beasts of Tyria.

Keiel.7489:

I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about the Ascended Armor Crafting in the 10 Dec patch. Anyone have a link? Or is this something someone saw someone post in a reddit?

Check the teaser that’s up now.

It was removed due to being a lazy copy and paste of t3 human cultural, cultural armor being something that should never be on anything but it’s respective race.

Basically people complained (rightfully) and Anet listened.

Flytrap.8075:

Hopefully new Elite skills will follow soon.

Three unique elites per class is far too few, especially when compared to how many options there were in GW1.

To be fair, GW1’s larger skill pool led to a lot more useless and redundant skills.

People seem to forget that whenever they compare GW1 and GW2 however.

cesmode.4257:

Xyonon.3987:

Yes, coming next year, some new skills, new traits, new weapons and old weapons for different classes. When exactly? Noone has an idea, not even ANet :P

As per Colin’s blog, they were going to start deploying these new skills in 2013. So far, we have a new healing skill(anti toxin) and it sounds like we may be getting more healing skills. Who cares about healing skills? They don’t drastically change gameplay. I havent switched out my healing skill on any character since Ive hit 80. We want more utilities, elites, and weapon skills.

I myself am fine with new healing skills……..but if it continues this trend of same skill for all classes…………..well my guardian may never get a replacement for the GW1 ray of judgement she so desires.

Worth noting they’ve said this multiple times, the holiday events will be recurring with little real changes so they can focus on completely new stuff.

Now how that’s been working in practice is a debate for another topic.

Buttercup.5871:

knives.6345:

So unless there is a required fashion show in-game, I believe nothing is “requiring” us to grind.

Except, you know, ascended gear.

I’ve ignored ascended gear because to me, it’s worthless. Ugly with only a realistically small stat gain for the effort.

Never had to grind, and I’ve played since BWE.

I do however have some ascended trinkets and such, but only because I’ve built laurels over time not really seeing anything else I’d want to use them on.

MrRuin.9740:

JohnnySupernova.9182:

ZudetGambeous.9573:

It’s supposed to be a long term goal. Since there is no content in the game that requires ascended gear just take your time and have fun making it. You will not be alone.

Sure the top 5% of players will probably be able to make it right off the bat, but there is no need to do it that fast.

Well, there’s fractals.

Except even fractals doesn’t need this gear currently. They are capped at level 50, and all the agony resistance/Infusion slots you need for that is currently in game. Why they stagger releases like this, I don’t know. They should, IMO, release new Ascended gears when something actually needs it, like raising the fractals cap. Not release the gear with the inclination they might raise the cap a few months from now.

Truthfully I think they are releasing it just to get it out of the way now. I doubt they will ever balance around ascended gear after the initial back lash.

shrugs Didn’t give a kitten about ascended weapons, still don’t give a kitten about armor.

Anyone know if it’s a temp or perm addition?

Zaxares.5419:

Hasn’t the Icy Dragon Sword (aka Jormag’s Breath) already existed in GW2 since the beginning? It’s just a Fiery Dragon Sword in a different colour.

sigh Let’s not start this again……..however you are sort of right, the sword existed in GW1 as the Icy Dragon Sword, which was a glorified reskin of Fiery, much like it is in GW2.

So this means I could finally get PVE Rubrick gear?

This pleases me.

I’d love to see this guy make armor sets for GW2

Ok, not gonna lie, your entire post was painful to read. But your complaint is GW2’s world is not your typical Tolkien fantasy yes?

HappyPrimes.3904:

I saw the video and immediately unsubbed from their youtube channel, it was like a BP oil spill in my subscription feed. And yeah, the way the last few months have gone this game will be dead in the water by its second anniversary assuming their marketing team doesn’t kill it before then. Which is a shame, because GW1 was a great game but they threw away such a good world/lore foundation to build a game out of.

You did not just compare this to a massive environmental disaster that effects entire communities and the waters they rely on.

I have not been addicted to anything in………..about 10 years.

And I’m happy about that.

Sugar.4582:

Fractals so easy i bet you can solo mai trin.

To be fair, myself and I am absolutely sure others soloed Mai Trin fairly easily when she first became available to fight way back. Since the fight is exactly the same but with Agony, the proper AR would make the Agony moot.

The barrage phase in particular is stupid easy when only you are alive.

At least for pre-instability levels anyways, I’m sure there are instabilities that can change that.

…….wow, how did I not put this together before?

I have a question. Is it possible to craft a +12 infusion? There are none on TP and Dulfy Datamining only had from 1-11. Does the +12 exist, or are the infusions not as infinite as they should be?

Cost 2x more to make those infusions so people who actually spend to make them most likely don’t want to sell them.

Which explains TP, but not datamining. Can anyone confirm that +12 is possible?

Hi

Yes, it is possible, my guildie crafted a +18, due to the way the crafting process works it would not be possible to craft the +18 if the +12 could not be done first.

I’m sorry but I will have to call you a liar on that one, unless you can provide a screenshot. A +18 infusion would take 131 072 +1 infusions, 1960 Gold, 82 Silver, 22 Copper. I really doubt he had both 2.000 gold and the money to buy over 100.000 infusions (Or fewer, more expensive ones) to get a +18 infusion

Actually, there are quite a few (relatively speaking) who do in fact have those kind of funds.

I’m honestly reluctant to give my opinion about anything dredge related, simply because as a whole a despise the very existence of dredge in regards to their………what’s the word, mechanics?

I just hope the cloth + eyes can be dyed.

Just cloth.

kitten

Hmm……maybe I can still make it work with my ice wraith look….one of the skulls on my set does have green eyes.

I’ve search, but the most recent discussion I can find is about a month old.

It seems the popular choices seem to be nightmare, undead, and 5 perplexity + another cond rune.

But beyond that, I’m a bit lost as all three sound promising. So what do you all find most effective?

I just hope the cloth + eyes can be dyed.
