Guild Wars 2

Sylvari all the way. Who else can look like the energy of the elements is pumping through their veins?

Elementalists will inhert tyria, even if we must spill the blood of every other class to do it!

best idea would be to under cut him by 10-20 gold (or a few silver ). puts you in front and if your really lucky they might feel threaten by you and buy you out rather then take down 3 peices and undercut you in return.

i’d have to disagree a bit, these 2 npc were the first ones anet gave us that actually did something in the fights. they revived us, they throw down aoe shields to support us and even healing springs. and quite a few times lived much much longer then some players even they the agro was on them. Hell they even moved out of aoe’s (most times)

as for acknowledge the player, you do realize they are bits of code with set dialog, Anet has made dialog that reminds you about past events they were in and how they remembering you being there but if your expecting detailed greetings like a big hug and a pat on the shoulder from them thats gonna take a while.

I could just see the humans faces if a sylvari acsended to join their gods XD

RedCobra.7693:

there wont be another alliance,

molten alliance = red
aetherblades = blue
Toxic alliance = green

all amount to the tricolours, im guessing she used these factions as building blocks to build the ultimate machine, whatever that is i dont know, maybe some sort of doomsday device

She’s planning on forming WvWvW teams with them!
Of course it all makes sense now!

that be funny as hell if suddenly after a reset you found it was your server, another server and Scarlets forces instead. I can just see anet having large zerg mobs of molten alliances, aether blade, clockworks, and toxic roaming the roads like the horror did in the labyrinth.

Random attacks on keeps castles as the molten allience drill their way past the walls into the court yards.

I think the big problem is because its a zone everyone just parks a toon at the top and never bothers to climb anymore. I find an easy 30-40+ players up there at peek times.

must be expensive slipping all those mobs a gold piece to look the other way and go after the other guy

Cirian.8917:

I slew the boss solo and didn’t get the achievement for no party members dying… which was odd, obviously… but otherwise it was a fun boss!

I think it requires you to have a team mate. look up dulfy, they got pretty good guides for achievements

Who else would love it if we could have a finisher that put words across the dead players screen saying “fatality” like in mortal kombat maybe even add in a voice.

Another idea would be making it drop down as KumaTazZ said with stat bonus but instead of only being picked up once it could give out limited charged weapons a set ammount of times. like during a 60 second period it has 10 charges on it. each time someone take a weapon it loses a charge after 10 have been taken it disappears.

this would give whole groups the ability to tactical switch to a different type fighting style.
ex: melee classes being able to switch to range by picking up a icebow, while range classes could switch to a melee depending on what is dropped.

I’m noticing a pattern in how scarlet works. She seems determined to play god and alter/crossover different species. Could this be a sight of how this story will ultimately end. with some kinda super chimara beast or altering herself to try to actually BE a god.

Creeper.9360:

pretty lonely where I’m at as well

didn’t have a chance to play much before, looks like I missed out on this update

suggest guesting over to populated server. might just be a case of bad timing for your server.

I just though of another idea if people have trouble. take note of what nightmare chambers are active on the map. You can flee into them to escape the trail of mobs behind you. although likely condeem a player or 2 to death in the process who are standing outside.

Tarn.1374:

Ack, that’s a shame.

On a side note I was hoping we’d be able to use it as an underwater mask, but alas, no luck.

oh man that would have been amazing to have as an aqua breather skin

Astralporing.1957:

Chaotic Storm.2815:

say maybe the separtists…

Oh, i know: the next alliance will be between ascalonian separatists and charr warmongers! Perfect!

doubt that, this will proably be some alliance involving the separatists to attack the charr. but i gotta admit, an alliance between separatists and some char faction would be funny.

Astralporing.1957:

Oh? I was pretty sure he already had 4 stages (every 25% HPs)? The visible differences from second stage up are not that big (if there are any), but there are changes in the way he fights.

I’ll have to watch for that next time I go in. I expected all his transformations to be very obvious but I could of been mistaken.

I do agree when I first saw this skill I actually smiled for a moment. If I could tho I would like to add 1 additional effect if they are gonna keep it at only 90%. I would like to also gain retaliation when brought down below 90% the traditional 6 seconds that alot of elementalist skill follow is fine.

I agree its a nice dagger, I’ve already joked about getting 1 just so I can threaten my guild mates by using the “other” end of the dagger

But I’m really holding out for some kinda elemental like daggers

for that achievement you don’t actually have to go in the chamber, just get close enough to the opening to confirm you located the position of the pod.

after hearing her last warning I got to thinking and she’s gonna be hiding in plain sight watching us and we won’t even know its her till its to late so its likely gonna be some kinda attempt at starting a civl war which leads to the Char/Separtists war.

knbBlackTemplar.3059:

As condition necro – i just can’t clear zone from spores =_= it will took ages (same for portal room)

I didn’t even bother trying to clear them. The spores seem to serve 2 purposes.
1. A wide range AoE conditon.
2. Space limiter- They seem to go 2 ways. 1 makes a large ring in the center so your forced to fight on the outer edge to keep out and the other type leaves an area in the center so you have less room to avoid the boss without going into the field.

Her last line was a little troubling. anyone else get the feeling the next attack is gonna be 1 where she is disguised as someone else and manipulating some kinda civil war. say maybe the separtists…

ya your best bet is to mention before the boss you want the dive achievement so have them hold off on leaving right away or be the one in control so even if they all leave you’ll still be there.

so I spent the first day like most of you, face planting into the ground on the 3rd level but over time I figured out some ways up so I thought I share them for people who still have trouble.

1. Bring a partner or 2= if your the only one getting all the mobs attention, expect to be the 1 getting all the stuns, knockdowns.
2. Don’t rush= with the exception of large zerg groups, if you and your friends just take it 1 step at a time and kill mobs as you go you’ll learn there aren’t actually as many vet, elites as you would expect and even then are still avoidable if you take the right routes.
3. Revive people= This kind of goes along with number 2. as you and your friends slowly work your way through by reviving others you slowly build up your battle force and before long poof your your own zerg.

Slow and easy always wins the race. It is still very possible to get up alone but why would you wanna risk failing every time you fumble or have a spot of bad luck.

Ok who else besides me actually enjoyed this boss? I loved how this fight when in stages as he evolved and the way he regularly changed the battle field so you had to spend time clearing out the area of the spores, or just ignore them.
The minions didn’t fell to over bearing but at the same time didn’t feel worthless.
over all I give this boss a thumbs up anet.

If I had to fault anything it would be he should of had a 3rd stage to his evolution.
the first change being at 70% the next being at 30%. The first would of been his larva form (or jabba the hut as some are calling it) then added some in between form were he was still learning how to fight. (see below for my idea)
make the last one when he stops spawning adds and its just a straight out battle to the death between you and him in his adult stage.

Anet really could of had some fun with that digging trick as well, I would have make the 2nd stage fight one were he would pick a target at random and lung out of the floor and or walls for a mid power aoe blast wave and start digging again (give players 3-4 seconds to burn him) and every time he hit the ground would cause part of the ceiling to fall (more aoe damage) and create a block of some kind which could be used to stun him if he rammed into it for an extra few seconds and cancel out his attack.

No real point in adding anything since it seems everyone else has already pointed out the obvious. But I do have a theory, who wants to to bet burnfall was a recent victim of an ele in PvP and can’t accept he just lost so it had to be that we’re over powered.

BlaqueFyre.5678:

Mobility and awareness trumps 85% of the game, the other 15 is spec and gear. If you are not moving you are dead or in LA

shouldn’t be to bad, my mains an elementalist so i’m no stranger to that

Any words of wisdom for a first time mesmer?

and this would just completely destroy the purpose of the game. I mean really skip all the way to 80. who needs to waste time LEARNING their class. everyone can just become an instant pro at it without working.
while we’re at it how bout we had a 1 shot skill so we don’t have to waste our time fighting enemies and bosses.
Oh and then we can just have unlimited everything because picking up the loot would be to much for us.

take any 1 aspect from another class and switch it around or add to your favorite class what would it be and why.

Note: this is just a fun and games thread about what we think would be amazing to have in our class no matter how cheap or OP it would be so please keep the flaming to a min.

For me it be switching Elementalists lowest HP status with the Highest HP status

Mash Hog.5672:

It’s not that elementalists are OP…
It’s just that all elementalists are better players than you.

#ELEtism

heheh after all this time thats only natural, The weak have been weeded out who couldn’t handle the play style and left only the strong. Evolution at its best.

Pssst, someone hide churing earth before he finds out about that skill.

its off and on for me. some times I’ll see that beautiful 7-8k crit clear as day and others it just seems to blend in with everything else.

I run a Sentinel/knight mix myself.

Ya I admit the idea is nice but I can’t help feeling that this was done purely out of lazyiness.

I’m with Deified on the idea of having something like floating skulls or Will-o-Wisps, it would feel much more impressive then a seed following me…
1 idea I would add it instead of it just floating in 1 spot is having 1 for each shoulder and have them slowly orbit slowly around us

you got about as much of a chance of surviving in a glass build as a sheet of glass being carried off in a tornada and making it though untouched. Only way you can make it is lots and lots players breaking your fall.

there are secret bosses? I suddenly feel very lucky to had a rematch with Molten berserker. Even if he was scaled way down.

Its a zone, The tower feels pretty much like a open world dungeon. Bosses are in those chambers and can be done or skipped at players pleasures. Only requirement I’v seen so far is taking out the road block events. and making sure you got a key from each floor.

You gotta give anet credit. They really did make it feel like a tower the way we gotta climb up 3 levels. each more difficult then the last. mainly because of the players getting thinned out.

Conditions will always get the short end of the stick. As long as conditions limitations are shared it will always be 2nd class dps in anets mind.

I loved the idea of making this place pretty much an open dungeon (we need more of those). We get random challenges we can do as group or solo. (I almost let out a fangirl squeel when I got Molten Berserker)

only issue I’v had with this place so far is the fact that it goes 1 of 3 ways. You manage to get yourself with a cluster of other players that actually kill their way through like intended.

your forced to run a very long painful and expensive gauntlet of veterans and elites that seem to spawn faster then they can be mowed down in smaller groups.

or you run like hell and pray some poor sucker turns into your meat shield why you climb over fellow players corpses to the finish line.

All round decent place but it could be improved in some aspects.

less clicking and it did believe it did give you experience to around 420 so it was also a way to level past 400.

ya that was a cruel joke on anets part. I’m pretty sure they learned after doing that to give people those home instance stations but haven’t got around or forgot about Azurite.

A side note I recall there was talk during the molten alliance that anet had plans to make Azurite a new gem drop for mining like the others in the future so it might be a case of it just hasn’t been done yet.

might not apply here but I find some times if its not in the discovery it means you can’t make anything with that at your current level or you’ve discovered all the recipes. but as he’s pointed out he knows he should still be able to make things so I doubt thats the case.

Brother Grimm.5176:

Your complaint is the reason that most intelligent players are not falling all over themselves to craft Ascended weapons….

couldn’t help but smirk at this comment. Its exactly how I felt when Ascended got released. realized its may be a whole 2-3% increase from exotic stats (didn’t actually do the math) and after seeing the apperence just proceed to throw all my current materials in the tp for some nice shiny gold.

Nothing is gonna be done for 1 reason. if people feel the gold to gems is to high they will turn to using real money to get the new shiny of the month and that makes anet smile.

Wiz.1543:

If you don’t agree with the current monetization model:

1. Where does that feeling come from?
( At current RNG we can sell not wanted dyes, and as for for black lion chests we have black lion scraps. So I honestly don’t understand.)

2.How could they make it in a way without you feel like getting scammed , but still make a decent profit?

1. problem with the scraps if they are also hard to get. add in trying for 10= 1 ticket. then having to get multiple tickets for some things. it adds up to a heavy bill.

2. Make it a 10% chance. still a gamble but very possible to get it after a good 10 tries unless your really bad with luck. Now add in the thinking of large number of players who know feel its possible and are willing to try. Now they are aiming to get 2-3 or even more weapons rather then stopping after 1. Take that and add in alts and suddenly people are no longer stopping at only a few. they are gearing up multiple toons.

and the most important way to get people to buy them is putting out desired items that will get the masses interested.

KOPPER.1458:

My nephew buys these trash can guys, they are random pack where you don’t know what you’ll get. He can’t get enough of them.

I remember being big into z-bots when I was a kid. For a child its a big thrill because you never know what I could get and money had no meaning to me then.
For an adult it can still have the same effect but now we’re more aware of budgets and the value of money. Sadly some never get to this stage and get addicted to the thrill without thinking ahead.

I’m ashamed of myself for blowing 100$ during the molten alliance event desperate to get my hands on a molten dagger. I learned from that point not to fund Anet any more cash until they fix that RNG.

Now if I want something I convert gold to gems.
