Guild Wars 2

Done and done!!

Spoiled little war machine

Cannot use the new fractal skin to my spear. Waiting for fix as transmutation stones don’t work either :/

I like Orr map completion, best rewards in least amount of time. I can do whole Orr in 3-5 hours depending on profession. I’ve done it under leveled (started Straits around 67-70 and finished CS 77-79) with every profession using lvl 67 rare zerker armor/weapons with lvl 65 masterwork trinkets (attributes vary by prof/build).

You can mostly run past stuff and trick around some vets/champs. I admit that I visit servers with uncontested temples to ease things, but there are some things that can be quite nasty for low level with 10 lvls old gear.

On my way for Twilight.
Made some calculations of how much it would cost to buy the things I need.
Then calculated what I could get if I’d sell everything I have in my bank for spare.
Also calculated how much I could save money by buying some heavy crafting bags.
If I sold everything, I’d still need a whopping amount of money :/
EDIT: Prices are calculated 10-15 minutes before posting.

I would really like to get official statement of this. Are they gonna make ascended gear salvageable?

Now that they give us gold, it makes things more rewarding. Thanks for that.
But there’s still no decent way to get rid of unused ascended rings/weapons. How about making them salvageable for ectos and ascended materials? Or forge them?
Or fractal weapons you don’t have use for? What if you could even put them to forge?

And with the new update you get skins and acended weapons from lvl 10+. But infused rings need lvl 20+. So infused rings are more valuable than ascended/fractal weapons?
Anet, you can still make this a good update with these little changes and not resetting reward level to 30.

Today I was gathering stuff round the globe, and I noticed this when mining. When you start mining with your Rodgort out, the head glows when unequipped during mining.

Now this would be very, very cool effect when your Rodgort is unequipped normally.
It would give more of that legendary feel and make it much more noticable, and perhaps not confused with some other off-hand weapons.

Time to make some noise, fellow Rodgort owners.

If it was Scarlet who blew up Thaumanova, it’s just too much to bear for me

Two legendaries done (Rodgort and Bifrost), I can now start my third, as I fished Dawn today after ~150 rare and 12 exotic GS over few days.
I just need to sell Dawn to get the Dusk I wanted, and then grind like there’s no tomorrow.

Tired of picking out just one of your characters to show?
Now this is a thread for all of you fellow altaholics to unleash a massive gallery to display all the work you’ve put on your favourite and most photogenic characters.

Here are my 5 characters on which I’ve put work on

I would like to see Ranger main-hand axe and Thief shortbow auto-attack damage buffed a bit, at least against single target. They tend to be more viable when hitting 2 or more foes, as the skill doesn’t bounce when you hit only one target. With two targets you do double damage to the other and with three targets you spread damage evenly to multiple foes.
But with one foe you just get that one hit and it doesn’t feel very powerful compared to some other auto-attacks. This problem is even worse when killing some health sponge boss. Even a 10% increase would be good.

With the coming fractals update in the near future, has Anet thought of making some use for extra ascended rings? My all characters have all the ascended rings they need, so my bank is slowly filling those rings (36 atm and 61 pristine relics to buy more).

Selling them to vendor doesn’t feel very useful (1,78g for my rings). How about making at least salvageable for ascended materials (steel/dragonite for example) and ectos. Or let us forge them for a chance for some fancy fractal skin or whatever, but something more than just the option of selling them to vendor.

Hi, I’ve been observing this bug for sometime. When archdiviner gets his reflection in the last fight, he reflects my fireball back 3-5 times more powerful than it should be.

The picture shows that my fireball deals mere ~2k damage, but when it comes back, I get hit for 8-10k and that really hurts as an elementalist. Other projectiles (at least on ele) don’t seem to have this kind of behavior.

5/10

That chest piece fails to connect with the phoenix legs, and not sure about those shoulders.

Here’s my ele with her Bifrost and “stack” weapon. Totally happy with the way she looks like.

Well, if you have some tanky gear, mixing in assassin instead of berserker can be a considerable option as tankiy gear tend to have power already.

I got Rodgort on my ranger, and I’m pretty happy with the current state. One thing I’d wish is that when it’s sheathed, it would still glow bright orange, like when equipped. That would make it much more noticable.

1. Bifrost
2. All the gifts except the ridiculously overprices t6 gifts.
3.Spent 110g today on t6 and still not finished gift of magic. Gift of might even further away.
4. Precursor was fished from the toilet with 92 lvl 80 staves, which costed around 180g. Quite a saving compared to current price of The Legend.

Some pics of the new found look of my elementalist

- Head ’n shoulders (no pun intended) and gloves are from Winged set.
- Chest and legs are from the just added Phoenix set from gem store. Also the main reason why I changed my look (for PvP too).
- Boots are Cabalist (gotta love those fluffy balls).

The dark dye is Midnight Ice, the blue one is Starry Night. On legs there is one Dye Remover to give the feel that the leg part is translucent.

I already got praise from this new outfit (bottom picture).

Dommmmmmmmmm.6984:

You said it yourself. You dug your own grave.

Off-topic, but if you refer to having multiple characters, it should not be punished so hard. If a player enjoys playing many classes and wants them geared properly in decent amount of time (not months, probably weeks) it should be their choice and not be limited by time-gating ‘n stuff. Sticking to one and only character is not everyone’s choice and you shouldn’t be mocking us for that.

Even if ascended gear were not time-gated, it could still require significant effort to gear your characters. I consider the gear and key materials being account bound being enough of a limitation itself.

Thanks, then I need to get a bit more money

Let’s say I buy 40 minis, deposit them, and then sell them, they count towards the achievement? And if I want to later go on with the achievement, I would need to buy those 40 again to get the 41st to count?

Just want to get this right.

I’ve had 9th slot for awhile. Do the story till Claw Island for keys and grind maps for rewards and roll another char, that I level just for the fun of it

I would like to see the enemies casting their spells/attacks in the interface. That bar under the enemy’s name showing the process. Would be easier to interrupt. And why do bosses in gw2 have unshakable/defiant? You could pretty much interrupt anyone in gw1 if you wanted to.

The greatest asura (biggest) warrior ever. And also the darkest.

Assassin Zero.4628:

Worked a really long time for this, needless to say.

Armor: Norn Tier 3 Cultural with Shiver Sky dye and a hint of Black Cherry on the Shoulderpad part that’s around my neck

Weapons: Incinerator and Quip

Backpiece: Fractal Capacitor

Looks really awesome. First thief I see with quip, quite daring choice.
Mine shall pale in comparison.

Updated with gauntlets and new dye.

Dragon Bash transformed my mesmer. Now greener than ever.

My precious here. Very satisfied with her look. Maybe I don’t need Bifrost after all

Decided to make an exception. As most thieves are dark colored, my thief shines with white and gold

1. Quaggans
2. Dwarves
3. Forgotten

I’m lucky that I can even sell items, but browsing/buying -tab remains blank. It’s been like this for a week now.

My ranger perfected.

schizandra.4587:

Which face are you using? She looks a lot like Caithe.

Don’t think it’s the same face, but the hair is the same.

Fieriest sylvari ever?

Answer: no.
I didn’t get chestpiece or head from CoF, but this is cool enough.

Just a tought, but wouldn’t it be cool, if you could have real time footage from big world bosses? No more incorrect and misadjusted timers. Just a camera (or aetheric observer in game terms) at boss’s location sending footage to perhaps some kind of asura-made screen or you could press some hotkey to view the the boss you want.

Hilda Hrafnsdottir 6/10 for hard pronouncing.
Aina Vanspeil 9/10 for creativity.

I have an obvious norn male guardian called Karjalan Karhu (Bear of Karelia).
And female engineer called Lumi Ki.

Adrecia and Lavanae… 8/10 for both. They sound obscure but obscure names are not that original.

Neither is mine female elementalists name: Ele Lady. She was called Elementalist Lady back in gw1 days for the 7 years I played. I shortened the name, because I was always called by the shortened version.

First, cafard.8953, awesome story 10/10

Slasher and Sophea Sladorian, 8/10 for they sound fun in the mouth.

My Charr necromancer is Pitkäviha.

Stim Packs 10/10.

I have less creative name for my Asura warrior. He’s called Ylitappo (Overkill in english).

6/10
Gakriel is ok, but don’t like “the guardian”, quite cliché.

My sylvari ranger is named Kaarna Kaisa.

Going for Rodgort on my ranger. It’s progressing surprisingly fast. Started a bit over month ago and only need powerful blood, elaborate tomes and crystalline dusts ~200 each, +200 ectos, runestones and the sigil.
Btw, had a good laugh when I noticed that the precursor is around 90 gold nowadays. Bought mine for 20

I was running the sparks whole 8 hours, the other guy changed. I was warrior with gs, so I had no problem using signet of rage and running the north sparks to statue in 10 seconds. But the placing can take time. And with 4-1 tactic, only the single spark pull really matters.
We did try to pull all sparks after 4-1, but the boss regened very quickly though average time to do that for our party was 12-15 seconds. Can’t really figure out how you can run them faster, you can’t give the sparks a speed boost, can you?

haviz.1340:

Joined with Wethospu some party that was stucked at simin for some time. It was condition damage mes, some ranger and a tanky support guardian. We both run sparks, considering we’re rather experienced there. It took us 3 or 4 spark runs to kill and I even botched last run of 2 sparks so we had troubles with putting last one on right spot. Oh, and we didn’t use 4-1.

Are you kidding, or mostly DPS team cannot do it with 4-1 tactic, and a team with less DPS and not using the 4-1 can do?

Tried to do this path 4 for 10+ hours today, of which around 8 hours purely focusing on simin. Party changed alot and we got more and more dps every time and better strategies but still no go.

And, if GW2 including it’s dungeons are the game for everyone and every class, this path doesn’t seem to be the case. And this is kind of discriminating towards those who only have 1 main character, which is not DPS warrior or any super DPS at all.

And to be honest, the mechanics of this battle are kittened up mostly and the one who designed this must have had so much sadistic fun when imagining the player’s reaction to this. Would like to see Anet post a video where they do this boss with NOT full DPS party with mixed classes.

If you are not gonna do fractals with all of your characters, do not bother getting them ascended. Those are only for agony resistance, unless your alt’s build is suitable to ascended gear. Ascended stats are only a bit higher than exotics, so whats the problem?

Finally got my armor finished today. But still a long way to legendary torch.

Sorry about excess view on the background, but couldn’t upload the smaller version.

When I have minimized my game while in fractals, the game has crashed. This has happened a couple of times to me now. Is the crash related to minimizing or some other reason? Minimizing happened during gameplay, not in loading screen.
