Currently, you can only do tier per day for rewards which means that if you have already done your 50 for the day and you have additional teams attempting to form 50s, there is little incentive to join since you won’t get any rewards beyond the individual fractal chests. This can make it difficult for guilds to get 50s later in the day when a lot of people have done them at reset. This may also spur more people willing to go on 50 PUG runs.
My suggestion to remedy this is as follows:
Complete first 41-50 for the day: get the 41-50 reward.
Complete second 41-50 for the day: get the 40 reward.
Complete third 41-50 for the day: get the 30 reward.
Complete fourth 41-50 for the day: get the 20 reward.
Complete fifth 41-50 for the day: get the 10 reward.
Complete sixth 41-50 for the day: get nothing.
Basically, any subsequent runs in tiers you have already completed that day will get you the next lowest available tier’s reward. The available daily rewards would be the same available currently but we can continue doing 50s to get them.
This way we can’t just farm 50s for the 50 rewards which is what Anet wanted when they changed the rewards to be account wide dailies but we can still help out guildies and get something for the runs. I know if this type of change was implemented, I’d be much more likely to join other 50 runs and help people out if I was going to get something.

I like the idea, but this should have been posted in the fractals & dungeons forum. Expect a mod to move this eventually.
While I considered putting it there instead, the description only stated “Strategies and advice for fractals and dungeons”.

I record with Shadowplay then use Adobe Premiere Pro. Stick in a timer and go frame by frame and have it start upon first movement or skill activation.
Yes please, I am now at 419 ascended rings on my account.
“Out of Bounds” probably needs a better definition since there’s been some discrepancies about what is actually allowed.
If you work out the average costs for black lion tickets and how much weapons usually sell for, its usually cheaper to get keys and open chests to get the tickets provided you get the weapon sets when they’re at 1 ticket each. You’ll lose money if you get them after they go up to 5 tickets. For those of us going for full wardrobe, this ends up being a slightly more economical way of getting them. Gets a lot better when there’s a key sale but we haven’t had one in a while.

And keep in mind that the phishing emails flat out say they’re not from an Anet employee.
Did they have any stated activity requirements that you may have run afoul of? Might just need to ask what was the reason and/or just move on.
We have an inactivity policy but even when people are removed, I send them an invite to our inactive guild with all the information to rejoin again if they so choose.
Dredge bomb path is bugged atm. You can have one person run up with a bomb and just spam F on the pipe to put 9 in. You might as well have everybody run one at the beginning and then just stay up at the top.
For the rock duping, it works with any item you throw. While in the throw animation, use something that causes you to hold a bundle. There’s cheap ways to do this, legit ways with class mechanics to do this, and free ways to do this. I’ll let you figure out the rest.
You can get 70AR to be able to do 50s without using any of the infused slots on the backpiece or rings. With 6 armor pieces (30 AR), weapons (10 AR), and 6 trinkets (30 AR), you can get by with Versatiles just fine. I’ve been hoarding my +1s for HoT to see what will happen with Fractals and the accompanying masteries.
For now, I would just use the Versatiles. If you have 40 AR already, you’re good for a bit anyways. You’ll need 55 AR for 40-49 and 70 AR for 50.
The upcoming closed beta will help us test the stability of our new PvE outpost-event content structure.
this was a stress test of their servers basically.
well anet is going to be at E3 for the first time and this is after saying they would never go to E3. Maybe we can expect an announcement from them.
Why will prices necessarily go up?
idea is that xunlai electrum ingots will be needed for 500 Jewelry. You can see the spots in the bank for this item. If you search Xunlai Electrum Ingots and mouse over, you’ll see the description says it uses silver, gold, platinum, and mithrillium.
Unfortunately this information is rather useless without 500 jewelry being out.
Freedom I received for quitting this game long ago. Something I am really proud of.
Yes you still come to post on the forums . ..
This is from the sw farm right….i have like 5 stacks of dragonite ore max
I got 100 of those stacks from Halloween from opened 27k Trick or Treat bags to get the mini Gwyn. Any other stacks since then have come from everywhere else.
yeah same here. I really hope we get a dragonite eater soon. http://i.imgur.com/V4hY9RL.jpg
I would make more ascended but not enough skill points.
I don’t understand what you’re asking. Are you asking about uncovering the fogged over areas on a map or are you asking about POIs, vista, waypoints, etc that haven’t been found on a character.
Zone completion is per character not from all characters. The only thing that all characters would contribute to are the Explorer achievements for uncovering areas on the map.
If you’re trying to set up your compass to point you to the nearest map completion item, go to your F11 Options menu and under User Interface for Content Guide, select “Hide Events and Personal Story”. This will cause your compass to point to the nearest non completed map completion item.
All legendaries collected.
2368 skins unlocked in the wardrobe.
Perma bank, merchant, tp, hair stylist.
Light Up the Darkness achievement.
Completing Agent of Entropy 25,200 times.
He may be on EU where paths still sell.
Full dungeon tour provided you can do it quickly followed by SW chest farming. TP trades going while you do everything else.
Dungeons are only more time efficient than SW if you can do a full tour in probably under 4 hours with a full tour consisting of:
AC: all paths
CM: all paths
TA: F/U
SE: p1, p3
CoF: p1, p3 (p2 as well if you can stand it)
HotW: p1, p3
CoE: all paths
Arah: all paths
If your groups do them slower, for time efficiency, SW will probably net you more gold. The faster you can do the dungeons, the more time efficient.
Fractal 50s in 20-30 minutes is actually a bit decent as well provided you get a decent number of rares and exotics. More of RNG though.
For newer players, AC all paths, SE p1, CoF p1 are all fairly easy to pick up.

closest target functionality got changed rip all the thiefsploits in arah /cry
what was this about?
You used to be able to bind a key for target closest enemy and it would target the closest thing regardless if you could see it or not. It’s been changed back to required that it’s in your field of view.
I don’t know how many times I’ve killed that kitten giant at Nageling (or been part of his downfall LOL), ‘giant eye’ is still the last empty box in my mats. Le sigh. Honestly, if giants don’t drop them, where do I find them? I’ve checked behind the sofa and under the squeaky floorboard and everything.
Giant eyes do not drop from giants. They drop out of Heavy Moldy bags.
Molten Furnace Fractal: Door moved again. This time with the boss. It is still a safespot tho. Fire goes right through you. Only had to dodge last 2 tornadoes that spawn at that spot.
Cliffside Fractal: When Archi drops his hammer at the start it disappeared at pickup. Party wipe fixed it.
Mai Trin still cross-eyed. Her shots still can miss and she will teleport to the other side of the room.
That Mai Trin thing isn’t a bug. It’s usually when she’s blinded and the 10% chance procs and her teleport pistol shot ends up missing you and hitting the wall.

Yeah. Currently there’s not really a need to have any infusions in your Agony Infusion Slot as if you have full ascended, full weapons, and accessories, it equals 70AR.
If you do the underwater fractal, you’ll need one infused ring or amulet with a +5 in one of the slots since there’s on ascended underwater mask. This is also true for the people who can’t fight Mossman and fight him in the water.
If the pattern for agony increases continues in HoT where we’ll hopefully get higher fractal levels, you’ll need 85AR for a 60, 100AR for a 70, etc (+15AR every 10 levels).
So far a 60, you’ll need +5s in each of them. For a 70, you’ll need +10s in each of them. Beyond that is when it starts getting really expensive. so hopefully Anet will have a solution like +10AR omni infusions or something similar.
Jerus, those are not the same as versatile. Versatile are Omni infusions which go in offensive, defensive, or utility slots hence why they’re called Versatile. The extra slot you get from infusing rings or amulets is called Agony Infusion Slot and you put the +1s that you can combine into higher levels into those.
The 5 AR/5 stat infusions are Offensive, Defensive, or Omni Infusions depending on stat or how you made it. These go into the corresponding slots.
The upgrades that go into the Infused slot are the +1s that you can combine to make higher levels.
I have had in the last 90 days (Sunday, February 22, 2015 to Saturday, May 23, 2015):
Sell: 9,638 completed
Buy: 153,629 completedThough the last 40 or so days I have backed almost completely off of the TP due to waning interest and lack of things that appeal to me to spend my accrued coin on.
Enko, not sure if this is something you are asking, but you can manually edit the URL where the view=150 is designated and edit that to skip ahead to a much farther page instead of going in groups of 10. Can skip right to 700 and if there are no results, back it up a bit until you find your last page.
That’s what I did to get my 2443 pages that I listed above.
For buy transactions, I have 2443 pages at 200 entries per page starting May 9, 2015 at 10:15am. So 488600 buy transactions completed.
For sell transactions, 65 pages at 200 entries per page starting Feb 18, 2015 at 3:38pm. Only 13000 sell transactions listed.
Would love it if we could get a full transaction record downloadable as a CSV file or something.
(edited by Enko.6123)
How did you get your total listings over the last 90 days? I have selected historical with 200 listings per page. By page 150 I’m still only back to the 18th. Any way that just shows a full tally all items, total gold spent, total gold received, etc?
You can mostly tell if things are within the rules by watching the minimap and the buffs players have. So extra PoVs are mostly just to make it easier and confirm 100% that everything is fine. Old records on gwscr were always approved even if a split PoV wasnt available because it was easy to tell and there was trust.
Agree that people should be trusted and if someone complains you can examine it and see if there’s any evidence of it. Would make it easier to have the videos there though as 1.c does say if there is no video evidence of activities within the run then it will be denied. An argument can be made that there’ no video evidence when a split happens and there’s no POV showing it.
Some of this discussion is probably coming up now because of some rules being unevenly applied and things probably need to be clarified.
Well if you want to continue this DnT Hawt Arah p3 has no thief PoV too.
Well the question for this would be if the thief ever separated from the ele which has a POV to do a skip of some kind. The mesmer which is separated from the group does have a POV uploaded.
The argument they’re making is for:
c. There must be at least one PoV that shows what’s going on within the dungeon, from start to finish. If at any point there is no video evidence of activities within the run, it’ll be denied.
Probably something that needs to be clarified to state that if at any time a player is offscreen from a POV, then their POV needs to be updated.
Question: do you think a mesmer would be better than a guardian here? I can see the mesmer running ahead of the group for the first 2 leg seals and portal every1 to the body seal. Portal on arms seal is obviously OP.Temporal curtain allows you to pull the mobs that spawn on the phases of archie quicker.
You would save only a couple of seconds from the knee seals to the body since that gate doesn’t open until you break both seals. Everyone but the warrior can blink up but he should be able to catch up in the hallway.
Only real time saver would if you Shadowtrap the arm seals and then portal to the archdiviner.
Very nice clean run. I’ve been telling my guild for a while now that you can get the chest seal down to one or two hits off the first wave for a while now. Maybe they’ll believe me now. Think I did see one or two cultists that died without getting a hammer charge so maybe possible to get it in the first wave?

If there’s a slaying potion available for whatever content, use that. Otherwise sharpening stones or if you want to be cheaper, skale venoms. Don’t really see why there’s such a huge discussion on it.
Does anyone besides DnT use them anyway?
Eh I use them for areas that don’t have an associated slaying potion with it and if its just daily runs.
For records? Probably not.
It really wasn’t though. It didn’t change how people were playing by that much and maybe made some fights 1 or 2 seconds longer. While it was a change to damage, I wouldn’t say it was a big change.
Some of the record resets like when the might nerf happened were kind of dubious. Granted the community agreed to ban dodge icebow at that time too but nothing in game happened that really warranted a reset at that time.
Eh one vote per guild. Otherwise, the guilds with more votes will just make the rules more favorable to whatever they want. Ideally, the rules would be to a point where its just flat statements that aren’t just opinions.
Basically, beat the previous time and you’re good. No pay to win ie gem store items. No third party hacks. This stuff is pretty hard to argue about vs some of the rules we have in place.
Out of bounds I thought would have been pretty hard to argue about but apparently not.
(edited by Enko.6123)
Ill leave it as restricted. Hopefully we will get this particular issue voted on in the next week or so.
Roger. just checking because of your previous statements. They would have had the time even if they didn’t jump over there anyways.
Only reason i did so is because its just/almost as much out of bounds as the simin skip in arah p4. So if you go by the rules as written then its questionable. Plus people are moaning as usual.
Personally id rather just ban everything until people realise all these restrictions arent making speedruns better. Which means moving half the current records to unrestricted.
So is this restricted or unrestricted. Still listed as restricted.
Personally, I agree with you that these restrictions aren’t making speed runs any better.
Approved.
I assume your character name is also Minigrump? And does Java want a different name for his account? Also if you have a guild website I can add that to the guild group.
Their guild website is: http://darkrenegatus.enjin.com/
Issues can be posted so there’s open discussion on the forums and then give the guilds a week to vote on it.
For the guilds that will be voting, are you just leaving it to guilds who have done any kind of records or to any guild that wants to sign up? Previous meetings were invite only so the majority of people didn’t even know they were going on.
They are what were found in the game files. It seems Mossman has 2 IDs for some reasons.
Probably one for the normal one in Swamp and a second one for the one that spawns, attacks and despawns in the wisp area and in FotM 31s. The normal one doesn’t have underwater attacks while the one in FotM 31s does.
Lol, if they even have designed underwater skills for mossman, why dont they just let him use those skills when people want to bug him?
Don’t know. I’ve been suggesting that as a fix for pulling Mossman into the water for a long time now.
longbow 2 and 5 are pretty much the only skills you’ll use and then back to your other weapon set.
ranger meta weapon sets are sword+axe/longbow now.
