Guild Wars 2

So here’s a challenge for you guys. If you could change 1 weapon which would it be and how would you change it.

If I had it my way the staff would of been completely different. I would of used the 2-handed hammers base with 2 dragons coiling around each other but with both facing into each other with a glowing jade orb between the 2 in their hand or mouth.

It be really nice if they add an option to join as a group in these mini games. I won’t even care if they disabled achievements in that mode. Just the idea that you can do a friend/guild wide event like these be amazing.

I remember thinking how kitten funny it be to use a voice chat during the halloweens hide and seek mini game. have them calling out to you in creepy voices while you cower in your hiding spot or taunt you as your being chased down. Would of added a new level to game.

Personal I’m gotta give anet some credit here, yes the chances are very slim of getting a ticket but the fact that it seems so many are dropping just says they are giving us a chance. nothing for sure but you’re chances of finding at least 1 over a month period if you try is pretty decent.

I think the rich coffers are anet test drive of a high chance RNG

arena net has yet to realize without any real solid end game content that collecting looks and being able to change our looks is whats keeping some of us but if its all gonna be town kitten why play?

right there with you Nightarch. Its not easy to get everyone all neatly lined up. There is almost always a player trying to get ahead of you so when I finally managed it to my surprised its bugged now.

least you’ve learned your lesson, its only a matter of time before Anet will do something because with every new event more and more people get screwed over and start refusing to feed them money.

I’m not impressed one bit, I finally managed to get everyone steam rolled while chasing me I even got the message that I had eliminated my opposition only to find out Arena Net broke the achievements after. Not happy at all.

manbearpig.8095:

it was simply the victor has the most people with the possibility of counter attack

true and not true. I have seen fights where if you can crush the attacker moral they starts breaking up. but for the most part is more around whos got more people. doesn’t mean you can’t make them work for 3 grueling hours to do it >:)

ya higher tiers a bit scarier to be off alone, can’t count the number of times I’v tried to go from 1 keep to another only to get steam rolled by a zerg group.

Only way it seems to be able to survive is to be in a an even bigger zerg group XD

just remember the sting next time they try to tempt you with RNG chests again, I learned my lesson after 150+ chest for a molten fused and still got nothing. I’ll never be fooled by anet again.

with all this talk about dust prices and what not I realized something. where IS this dust coming from?. sure I can get ghosts for the most part leaving dust or “ashes” behind but i’m getting it off other living mobs so where is its source? it just something they pick up rolling around in the dirt, how come we can go around and harvest this in ore form and grind it?
what is the source of these dusts?

HawkMeister.4758:

By now I can run Canach without a problem. Going back to it only because of that one gold and I somehow feel dirty afterwards.

thats right its dirty gold, usual you have spend 15-20 mins in at least CoF path 1 to earn almost a gold after fighting several bosses, and mobs. but your picking on a guy who only real weapon is waiting for you to screw up and blow yourself up or get knocked into 1.

Dust my most hated T6 material of all. seems its used more for alot of smaller things then the others.

makes me glad I’v been more of a sell it as is and get a sure 19-20 silver to buy 1 ecto rather then gamble and waste 10 only to get make 1 drop 3 and 2-3 drop one for 6/10 lose

its all about supply and demand. items like the ghastly grinning shield are scary high, they were a real pain to get out of a chest so its number was already limited, then add in its popular skin

so all you gotta really hope is it stays a popular skin type.

if you think about it rares value is pretty much even with ectos. I think the min they made rares farmable both lost purpose.

give it a year or so, the longer it goes the less supply there will be for future players who aren’t around yet.

Last good fight in a raid in wow in my option

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tMRMG7KOTQ

I was always a karazhan fan myself.

if nothing else find some people who have some skills in pvp who would be willing to help you and stick with them. that way you’ll get a chance to actually try things and even if you make a mistake you’ll have back-up. and over time you’ll learn what does and doesn’t work, build up for confidence and before you know it standing on your own.

Just remember NO one started out good, and if they did then its because of past experience in other MMO’s or just pure luck.

if it was out of combat i’d be all for it, but even then its kinda pointless
what I don’t get is

Every other class has two weapon sets that can fulfill different roles in different situations. An elementalist cannot change weapon mid fight, and so cannot react to a different situation.

Far as I’v experienced we’re the ones with 4 different situation options vs everyone elses 2. The only think we can’t really change is our battle distance but thats a small trade off for having twice the battle options.

your missing the point of support just a bit, The idea of support seems to aim more for the actually word “support” not ’i’ll handle everything". Your the guy who while still helping up with dps will be the one who will throw is that last second blind or stun making the enemies big attack worthless on your fellow player. or dealing with a sudden over whelming rush of conditions that some players would usually be forced to ride out but your there with a quick spell to help out.

Support is all about helping to fill in the other 4 players weakness. least thats how I’v always viewed it.

do a bit of tweaking here and there so it balances out properly and it won’t be half bad.

I love the idea of using a sword, I mean sure we have daggers but as we have already learned ele can spend quite a bit of time being in melee (provided you dodge right) so I sword while not likely is still very viable for a magic user

ya at this points its all hording with the dream of armor and weapons.

if anet did do raids I myself won’t be against it but anet would also have to do it right. biggest issue I found with WoW raiding was the ever growing elitism with every new raid because of how gear was handled.

makes you wonder…. what other tricks we can do in groups…

nope. classes can be what ever they want tho I do prefer a reasonable limit, nothing stranger then being in a group with 4 of the same class. makes me feel like the black sheep.

have to admit I miss pets from WoW, made did they have some kick kitten skins.

Gabby.3205:

I had a blast looking for samples, playing Crab Toss and farming DEs, but I really hated the instances and the way the story was delivered.
What I’m saying is that MOST OF the event is fun, IMO. You should give it a try. If you enjoy playing PvP, you will probably like Crab Toss. I know I do.

I have to agree, I loved how sample hunting was done in this using the pings to get an idea on distance to your target

I agree for the most part, while Oculus was short it did have its own charms even with all the annoying flaws and I get the same feeling from this dungeon. As short, annoying and sloppy as it is you have to give credit to the designers for attempting to bring new life into our already staling dungeons. Who every made molten had shown us the high end of future dungeons and canach has now shown us the low.

So hopefully with this anet will have a stronger idea of where it needs to be.

thats like throwing salt on the wound.

give it time, they proably realized how bad they goofed and are completely redesigning its animation.

Vahkris.6847:

2. They need to put the text prompts where you normally see “New Event Nearby”

I be happy if they just put the print somewhere near the middle, or give him some animations. Makes me think they slapped this guy together a week before his release.

My mind is still blown by the bosses from molten, then I get Null. Amazing idea, very poorly designed. no conditions damage= punishing all but straight melee. Unforgiving in terms of timing. If even 1 person is off tune for even a moment it effects the fight greatly.

That being said tho, I do love that anet is experimenting with its boss fights and adding mechanics.

What happened to this “any class combination, any build” motto anet was aiming at

ah, that explains it, haven’t visited WvW since it got added. Thanks

I still can’t accept a sickle having a water animation, I really expected something like a whirlwind or something along those lines.

Be fun if we could get a guild event that is very similar to bounty but with an amusing twist, 1 or more of your guildies being the prey. have it so a selection of smaller sized areas are used with no way to waypoint (for the 1 being hunted) and have them run for his life and avoid being captured.

Weapons of choice for the hunters= net guns
Weapons of choice for Hunted= A stick

The objective would be to run, hide or event fight back and avoid capture for a certain time frame.

even something along the lines of that halloween mini game would be great.

-raises hand- simple noob question but what do they mean by ranks? I don’t WvW much so many I just haven’t noticed but I wasn’t aware of any ranks to be gained.

your like me, you know its bad. you know nothing good will come from it but you still gotta buy the stuff at least once and try it before you learn. I was the same way with the molten weapons. I just HAD to have 1 of those sweet beauty. 100 chests later,and 50$ less. nothing.

Wow so the sickle is water based. kinda expected it to be air. like slashing across the plant making a mini whirlwind around it. also whats up with that tiny kitten fountain? I would at least expect a geyser.

I think having it on a engineer is more fitting and better for your sanity and ours.

don’t feel bad, I to find the thread search engin to be a nightmare when your trying to find information.

here how i’v done my crafting. look up the materials on wiki, do a TP search on material prices and add up the value to buy set materials vs buying. if the price is close and the materials aren’t a nightmare to get i’ll try to craft on my own for the satifaction of making it myself. other wise I’d just as sooner buy it and sell the materials to break even.

skimpy armor is a rare thing for males, which is odd. sure there are more male players then female but that doesn’t mean the males have to be restricted to 1-2 outfits vs females 12+.

I will give credit to anet tho, they did at least balance the skimy outfits with full body outfits. not like wow where everything was sexified

I’v found dye drops reasonable. course I’m also the type that doesn’t like to gamble with them and just sells them as is. collect my silver and turn around and buy 4-5 dyes with the profits.

If you have any of these symptoms please consult your physician as soon as possible

here a question I have that is sorta linked. We are able to disengage most if not all the bosses right? so it really that hard to run away, go around a corner and wait a few moments to switch up weapons if you really need to and rejoin the fight?

if you could take 1 skill for each element from any elementist weapon and add it to another. what would it be? and who would you cast out?
Also note all cooldowns, range, and damage would be subject to changes for balancing

Fire- Ring of fire (Dagger 4) for Burning retreat (staff 4)= I like the synergy, it would go nice with burning speed and our overall mobility.

Water- Frozen Burst (dagger 3) for Frozen Ground (staff 4)= Both have a similar effect but I like the idea of having an area to kite them around in when needed.

Air- Lightning Touch (dagger 2) for Blinding Flash (scepter 3)= Be nice to have a short term blind ability for close combat.

Earth- Magnetic Grasp (dagger 3) for Rock Barrier (scepter 2)= This has always screamed a melee skill to me, instant 250 toughness for those moments a little extra armor is required.

Its not always the stupied people they prey on, but it is mostly them. alot of us take for granted how easy it is to be tricked at a younger age. imagine your 10 years old and having the time of your life and suddenly get this email, you panic a little and reply without thinking about who is really at the other end. All because of a childs instincts to wanna hide anything they did wrong from others.

We all know better because we’re familar with these kinda attacks. Its the gullible and inexperienced to fall for these traps.

its possible that they follow 1 or both. I’v never sat down and timed the breaks between big attacks but I’v always felt it was random. My theory is they work on cool downs to prevent a skill from being over used but aren’t triggered by something as simple as a timer. Some skills feel situational like if you back away/run from an enemy his program will respond by attempting to trigger 1 of several skills (randomly) and if its not on cooldown it will trigger.

possibly crafting thread, seems right up their alley.
