Snow ball PVP achievements? Seriously?

in Wintersday

Posted by: DaKenster.5801

DaKenster.5801

I got the achievements relatively fast, though I have to admit it does partially depend on what your team is doing. I found the charge shot on the scout followed by the rapid fire skill were great for downing present runners when they were running alone.

I know this will be one of the first things I will be tackling after the Wintersday patch is out. I also think that balance is required and it involves bringing a stack of presents to the other side, should be fun.

I also like the trolls/spies on your own server who place siege on the chest so it is harder to click to open it. Now that is an interesting use of siege in the EB jp.

I use a lower resolution on my laptop (as compared to my desktop), and as Krojack stated, you don’t get to see as many character slots with a lower resolution (5 compared to 7). It’s likely a set cap to keep things neat and orderly, or whatever, for various resolutions/systems.

Guildie used a rez orb during beta and was able to walk around before getting stuck in something, didn’t really see too much as I recall.

Me, personally, I was just doing it to slide down the cube because it was fun and to see how high I could get my fall damage.

Crafting material promotion, worth it?

It probably depends on the mats. I found a while back that I had a better return selling of my tier 5 dust and buying tier 6 dust than I did upgrading it in the forge; I netted around twice as much dust that way. Compare the prices on the tp and see what the selling point for the tier 5 is and the buying point for tier 6 and use that to decide whether it is better to convert or not.

I’d heard of this one and was ready for a less than fun experience, especially considering one of the members of the pug wasn’t listening, particularly on the ice elemental. Nonetheless, we tried it a few times, figured out how the mechanic worked and learned the paths, and then set up an easy plan. I put a portal in the central area, had the people with orbs run to me, and I ran to the place where you place the wisps and opened up the end of the portal, and it went off without a hitch. If you have a mesmer with portal in your group, this goes much easier.

I got a rare killing the champion guarding the chest at the end of the stones puzzle, and a chunk of crab meat from the one near the lair where the final battle will obviously be. Obviously I trashed the rare and kept the delicious crab meat to put all that butter on!

A mesmer can drop from the platform that the chest is on to the rocks below and survive with the half fall trait, my mesmer did it with 1000 hp or so left, and successfully port people up for the chest and to fight the champ. Find a decent mesmer, problem solved.

Under water combat update?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: DaKenster.5801

DaKenster.5801

My biggest issue with underwater combat is the invulnerability issue as stated by others. I can be fighting an enemy as normal, and they suddenly decided because I’m not on the same plane to go invincible, start healing, and meander away back to where they came from, beginning the process of killing them anew. This is the primary issue I have with underwater combat, and why avoid it, despite the awesomeness of whirlpool (even after the nerf).

Is there any point in fighting champion mobs?

Posted by: DaKenster.5801

DaKenster.5801

I actually got a rare off the dredge champion event in gendarran fields, I thought it was a bug.

Champions usually drop crap, so the prolonged fight isn’t worth the reward, and I tend to avoid them. If other players are engaging one though, I will assist. When we have a guild group going though, we tend to seek them out, for the fun of it.

Had some fun on JQ borderlands this morning, finally able to push SBI out of hills and come back to find they have taken it again, always keeping us busy. Then BG showed up and started raiding our camps, I got skewered once or twice while attacking the ballista you had set up in defense. Been fun so far, but will be interesting to see what happens when the Lost Shores hits.

They have to be the ones that smell of singed fur and feathers, the round ones. The ones that smell of the forest and of furniture polish don’t work, apparently.

To Morgoth, there are different mystery tonics that you can craft, are you using the round ones that come in the chests, the ones that smell of singed fur and feather, or others? Just trying to get further clarification, thanks.

This wouldn’t be so bad if people used their power for good, like resetting broken skill points or say, moving the guild bank npc next to the bank npc for easier transfers. But as it is, this does need to be looked at due to the possibility of griefing and tomfoolery in wvwvw.

I for one feel that this is not fun and it is just isn’t very fun to fight in wvwvw this week. Thank you to all of those on SBI who are not backing down though, I know I’ve cursed at you guys a few times the past few days while playing on our borderlands. Keep up the good fight, hopefully Henge will drop next week and we can get a more balanced match.

As an added bonus, it appears our npcs keep getting moved around in LA, probably due to the influx of wonderful people we have received recently.

DaKenster.5801

I had really hoped enough of HoD remained that this weeks match up would be a wonderful 3-way fight, but the reports from the server are not promising. With the bandwagon transfers, our server has too many bodies available, and mismatched fights aren’t fun for anyone, or at least not to me.

If it’s any consolation, our queues have become a very hard adversary to overcome.

DaKenster.5801

As a JQ player, I utterly respect the CD and DB people in wvwvw despite the overwhelming lead we had. Unlike many players on our server (among others), you guys were still there fighting the good fight despite the situation, and not making a huge deal out of it (from what I saw).

I remember a particular round of matches of CD earlier in the week at Durios where we kept going back and forth, that was a ton of fun. What started out as a small force breaking against the walls soon became a larger, more organized force peppering our walls with siege. When you guys broke the wall and started pushing, I thought you had it. I think if you had kept pushing and crammed us in there you could have taken it, but that was the fun of those battles: they could have gone either way. I know I spent a few silver on armor repairs that day since you guys loved yanking me off the wall.

I utterly enjoyed that fight with CD and other battles throughout the week, and look forward to seeing you guys again sometime. Good luck in your future fights.
