Guild Wars 2

it is just you.

a lot of people play guild wars 1 and guild wars 2 because it has no monthly subscription fees.

and they will never go back to monthly subscription fees billing method because they earn so much more with the gem store.

it is just you, everyone else is enjoying guild wars 2 even more.

hide chest piece, custom female upper inner wear, please.

^ hmmm good point also.

i believe what you mentioned might probably happen.

latest event is:
- WvW zerg training
- stomping downed enemies training
- strength in numbers training

later, expect to see castle sieges training in future living story events.

for example, we need to raid scarlet’s factory producing those watchwork golems etc.

Pulzar.4521:

10player+ instance with certain gw2 aspects and great rewards. For instance a instanced castle which you have to enter, starting by entering it with 10 or more players. Capture supply camps around the castle and siege it down while enemy waves are trying to stop you, when taken down a dragon appears and you have to fight it before entering the castle and inside the castle a nice variety of legendary bosses. Maybe at the spot of the old doomlore shrine? Make it challenging, and not like these farm event where people don’t care about killing scarlet but only about the loot from farming champions or other mobs( I love frostgorge since the mobs supply me with heavy bags of booty).

What are other players view on this?

oooo so we dun get it.

but we should get it right.

since we pre ordered.

come on, give us some extra goodies! XD

Azure Prower.8701:

I got two shoulders by going for the random chance bags…. I didn’t even want the shoulders.

same here, i gotten 2 from the random bags.

the shoulderpads are fugly, i would sell them if i could but nooo they are account bound.

i want to be able to change the skins and stats of every piece of gear when not in combat. this feature not found anywhere else.

wow, so everyone gets the following 3 items for free now?

Suit of Legacy Armor* (gem store armor – krytan medium, profane light, premival heavy)
Mithril Box* (18 slot box)
10 Experience Boosters*

players have reported not getting the achievement after killing liadri after hitting her with 8 or 9 orbs.

please fix asap, thanks!

Sird.4536

I killed Liadri 3 times by throwing 8 or more orbs and failed to get the achievement. I have a guild mate who was counting with me to verify.

Has anyone done this achievement after the new content patch?

perki.2079

Yeah, seems so..
Yesterday I did it as well, carefully placing each orb right under her feet and keeping an eye on her vulnerability stack to be sure they all counted and yet, after beating her there was no achievement :/

Raven Bloodshield.5472

yea, same happened to me.. 8 orbs and kill and no achievement… won’t try this until they fixed it or i’ve got my rewards

Denial Of Service.5732

no wonder i didnt got mine… …. i wont even try it again

Shinigami.8975

I really hope they will award the achievement via retroactivity, or else it sucks for those who achieved it in the meantime it was bugged… I know a guildie who has tried for 4h straight tonight to get the achievement, he has killed her 4 times with 8 orbs and 1 time with 9 orbs… he doesn’t have the courage to do it even if it is patched… It’s Anet fault if it’s bugged, so it’s their responsibility to fix it asap and give credit to those who deserve it.

Day Trooper.3605:

What class(es) are folks using that are able to repeatedly get 8 orbs on Liadri? With my Mesmer I barely survived as her damage was pretty intense. And I literally killed her off as I was falling through the floor.

I see Guardian above, but what else?

warrior for me.

i used a defensive retaliation build inspired by Healix.5819
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/jubilee/Best-Prof-for-Phase-2-Liadri/2646827

liandri’s attack tickles me.

its the phase 2 shadowfall and clones that kept killing me.
yesterday, i managed to beat her finally after i figured out how to not get myself killed in phase 2 by the shadowfall and bomba clones.

i will attempt 8 orbs once they have fixed it.

i started a topic in the bug forum
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/liadri-8-orb-achievement-bugged-1/2684587

help post some feedback there too perhaps?

Healix.5819:

The achievement was originally bugged and only required 7. Maybe they “fixed” it, and it now requires 8… after the initial 3.

wow this means 11 orbs!

this is insane!

they better fix it to be 8 only and not 3 + 8 !!!

just did it with my warrior.
happy.

using spiked armor defensive style.

now to try the 8 orbs achievement.

thanks again!
i tried out your build (modified a bit maybe)

done it!

killed her!

now to try the 8 orbs one

thanks !!!!

Havana.8625:

For those who say warrior is a good choice for phase 2, why? I find if I melee Liadri at all something (vision of mortality?) downs me right away. Is there a way to completely separate her from the crowd? I do think warrior has an easy time in phase 1. I guess I have to ask, what is it a that GS warrior does in part 2 that can take her down?

Note: I did watch one video by a top notch warrior who gets off a 100b. I haven’t been able to do a single uninterrupted 100b vs her.

I originally did Liadri on a glass elementalist. Necrotic grasp in phase 1 basically did 10% of my health. In phase 2, her leap was 70% and her follow up attacks were basically enough to kill me. My elementalist is wearing full magic find gear though, so I was already at a huge disadvantage.

A warrior is my only alt and it’s the complete opposite, a defensive build. For comparison, necrotic grasp is like getting a scratch, which is then healed by healing signet + adrenal health. What really surprised me was the difference in phase 2 damage. Liadri’s leap went from almost 8k on my elementalist to around 1.5k on my warrior. I no longer had to care about getting hit.

Condition builds are going to win when it comes to Liadri, since conditions don’t care about weakness. The 100 blades speed kill video is highly reliant on not getting hit, because if you are, you won’t be able to put out the DPS.

I can’t say if a warrior is the best profession to do it on, but it is easy. This is what it looks like: http://youtu.be/hQKJBvN37DU and http://youtu.be/oi519Xk0lbw

you are not supposed to share the account.

from here:
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-user-agreement/

scroll down to here:
9. ACCOUNT ACCESS AND PERMISSIBLE ASSIGNMENT

then here:
b. Each Account may only be used by one person.

it would be very cool if this is the case.

imagine if a champion behaves differently than others computer controlled ones.

Allie Murdock.8152:

2. What exactly is your definition of fun? Fun is subjective, no?

yes, it is very subjective.

for me, i find fun inside gw2 spvp 8 vs 8 public game rooms.
some people find fun in solo / team arena.
etc.

combat tonic.

expect more combat tonics to come in the future!

i support a 20 minutes session instead of a 45 minutes session.

at least, in the future.

i have about 22 black lion chest keys (from personal story, map completion, farmed level 10 personal story a few times etc)

i used 12 keys because i have not used any keys before.
i got 3 Black Lion Claim Ticket Scraps

25% drop rate.
not too bad i guess.

so using 40 – 50 keys i might get 10 ticket scraps to redeem a weapon skin.
about 3600 – 4500 gems if buying keys from the gem store.

perhaps i try again after i farmed (via level 10 personal story) enough black lion keys to see how many keys it would take to get 10 ticket scraps.

i dun fancy those weapon skins anyway.

Faowri.4159:

The Faren cutscene was the best thing about the whole instance IMO

yes, we need more of this.

poor faren though ahahahahah

but the costs for way points and armor repair fees are the same.

aspirine.6852:

I have no problem with it if they make some kind of begin and end part of the JP, some kind of port you have to go through first or else the chest will be locked for you. No more parking of chars at the chest when such a thing happens.

too much coding to do.
they will not do it.

things are fine as they are now, no need to break it.

Dingle.2743:

Carighan.6758:

While I love the idea, can the JPs be categorized into three groups for this?

1. Easy to reach OR fast to do, like the Ogre one in Lion’s Arch. No such rewards.
2. Average (this includes difficult ones close to cities like the other two in LA): Normal rewards.
3. Difficult to reach and/or annoying to do: Increased rewards. Examples here could be the one in Orr, or the one in Southsun Cove.

They already are categorized this way. Each JP has a different quality chest, which rewards a different number of items. The three in Lion’s Arch demonstrate this perfectly: Urmaug’s Secret gives two items, Troll’s End gives three items, and Weyandt’s Revenge gives four items. The average rarity of items in the chests increases as well. If the loot is tied to the chest, then ArenaNet already have a system in place to sort the ascended item rewards based on JP.

are you sure weyandt’s chest has better loot table? O_O

there is nothing wrong with parking characters.

there is no need to fix what is not broken.

this would be better.
1. minimal normal rewards
2. more than normal rewards
3. way lot more than normal rewards

numerical example:
1. gives one ascended crafting materials
2. gives two ascended crafting materials
3. gives five ascended crafting materials

guild wars 2 is a casual game, for casual players.
hardcore players are rewarded too.

there is no need to fix the mesmer portals or characters parking at the chests.
it is working as intended.

lets just focus on the 3 chests in lions arch
Grand Chest – Troll’s End
Splendid Chest – Urmaug’s Secret
Magnificent Chest – Weyandt’s Revenge

via wiki:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Grand_Chest
“Grand Chests give a handful of loot”

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Splendid_Chest
“Splendid Chests give a handful of loot”

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Magnificent_Chest
???

however, experience tells me, the grand chest at trolls end gives better loot.
i have gotten rares and exotics from the grand chest at trolls end before.
not everyday, of course.

sometimes, once in a blue moon.

i park my 5 characters at the trolls end chest.
3 level 80s for a chance at level 80s rares or exotics.

1 level 40 elementalist because i have not leveled her up yet.
1 level 30+ engineer because i want silver doubloons.

other 3 characters are elsewhere.
maybe i should park my level 70 ranger there too since not playing her very often nowadays.

these few days mostly been spending time with my warrior in crown pavilion.
my guardian i park him in sparky fly fen because he likes it there.

anyway, back to the topic, which types of chests give bests loot?
i mean, all those jumping puzzle ones.

i think tomorrow.

its 20 august 2013 over here (GMT+8:00) the server time is GMT -7:00 so for me i think i’ll see it by tomorrow, the new patch.

Zindrix.1750:

It costs 68g alone for the bloods on a zerker backpiece. Seems a little silly to me.

aye the price is ridiculous!

hence i’m trying to find out if there are any other people in this part of the forum who welcomes alternative methods to obtain ascended items.

especially the back item.

i thought prices of them tier 6 fine crafting materials went down? the prices shot back up even higher due to crown pavilion farming?

Yeah and now it’s 82g.

well, then they are generic “fancy” skin to me.
any back item with displayable skins will be considered “fancy” for me though.

yes, the 100k is an example.
perhaps 200k may be more suitable.
since 42k may get us an exotic armor piece.

i believe if they do implement this, they will make sure the karma price is appropriate

Navzar.2938:

Not all the ascended back items have fancy skins. The quivers and books seem to be the generic skin to me.

Karma for an ascended piece seems like could be alright to me, but the 100k =23 days thing isn’t quite right. Unlike laurels, you can karma in many parts of the game where as laurels are only from daily, monthly and achievements, making them much slower to acquire. There’s also a large array of karma boosters available, you just have to find a banner or bonfire or maybe your guild has the boost. So you’d have to be careful with the pricing, otherwise you’re just screwing over people who got the piece through mystic forge.

bringing this topic up since another person brought up this issue in another topic.

zenleto.6179:

What would you suggest for those jps you can park a character at the end of?

nothing. working as intended.
jumping puzzles chests are daily so no harm done there.

the following prices:
- way point fees
- repair fees
are not increased.

new players will not have any trouble playing the game.

nameplates is the cure for culling.

when your computer cannot render all those players, at least you get to see their names.

thanks Healix.5819 for sharing!!!

after trying out your build (i modified a bit) i think my best was 20% before dying hahah.

i must try harder!

Healix.5819:

I did it with a pvt soldier’s warrior (berserker accessories) using a sword and shield with a defensive retaliation build. Phase 2 was basically walking backwards in a small circle between where the shadowfalls drop while just spamming 1 on Liadri. Never bothered to cleanse and Liadri’s damage isn’t really a threat, plus she kills herself from retaliation. Also got 8 lights this way. You can come very close to running out of time if you stall though.

ooo could you share with us your exact build?

thanks!

i dun get it with you people, more achievements is good for sPvP.

so now they have activities in the daily rotation.
it is a good start.

hopefully, one day, we will truly be able to play together with our friends and or guild members!

why are you so certain it will be the achievements that will cause you to lose?
it could be other reasons, such as:
- the opponent were simply better
- your skills were not good enough
- etc

if you do not agree with the examples given by others, please post up some examples of yours.

so you are saying that sPvP has enough achievements, and do not need any more?

Gandarel.5091:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

Gandarel.5091:

All PvP achievements should be restricted to Team/Solo arena and should encourage winning.

that would defeat the whole purpose of achievements.

non casual players can stick to the solo / team arena without bothering casual players having their fun in the non arena game rooms.

why restrict?
everyone can have fun.

not everyone plays to win in sPvP.

Next time I will go to fractals and just have fun making it unpassable for my team because not everybody plays a dungeon to pass it and loves dragging down teammates who take it serious and play it as intended. :P

Because casuals love fun!

Please, not the PvE players should tell us how should PvP work. We already barely have “PvP”.

for your fractals example, you are making 4 other players not happy. you are disturbing their playing experience. that is not acceptable.

for sPvP, non casual players play in solo / team arena while casual players play in the normal game rooms. they do not disturb one another. this is acceptable.

anyway, did you play team fortress 2 before?
a team based first person shooter by valve software .

Banquetto.9521:

Poledo.3256:

At some point my level 80 warrior must have had his Traits reset. I never noticed it and could not figure out why I was sucking so badly.

lol, that happened to me, too, when I returned after a couple of months break. I eventually figured out why e.g. my warhorn skills weren’t turning conditions into boons anymore.

i paid for the trait resets without realizing my warrior was already given free traits resets.

both would be nice additions.

kill cam
top stats

yes they are coming, but i think, not so fast. not yet.

Open World PvE is co op.

if you want open world PvP, u’ll find it in WvW.

small scale PvP (from 5 vs 5 to 10 vs 10) will be via sPvP

would appreciate a quick fix or some sort of reply …

cheers!

i also hope they can fix the icon.
the hom skin icon is nice, the blue color one.

after we transmuted it, the icon became plain.
same for the ithas long bow also (out of topic though)

i posted it under bug:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/fellblade-icon-bug/first#post2630012
https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/95430/fellblade.jpg

all right i viewed them.

but i like the barely noticeable smoke effect.

hand to hand combat would be introduced in the future, via mini games.

“requesting either the new smoke effect from the 1 handers or the GW1 effect to be reimplemented on to GW2 Fellblades”

you said you wanted smoke effects.

for me, there are already some smoke effects on the fell blade great sword.
that is enough for me.

any more effects and it would too “shiny” for my eyes.
same reason i do not use the fiery dragon long sword skin.

i am not using any zenith weapon skins too.
or the radiant armor (even shiner!)
or the hellfire armor.

another reason is the effects causes some lag.

if you want to know my systems:
