How are you even supposed to level up the precursor and fractal one? I’ve tried gaining xp in both verdant brink and the original maps and mine are stuck at 9% (precursor) and 52% (fractal).
Edit: Nvm. figured it out from some other posts. Only get credit to those two during the initial instance. Unfortunately you can’t even level up the fractal one.
Though apparently trolling as a mentor is a reportable offense as stated in the POI. Question is, will Anet actually warn or do anything to those people that are reported?
We’re not going to vote, because we dont want to influence the outcome. As some ppl dont like “casual dungeonguilds” like us to vote we’re just gonna wait for the decisions of the record guilds.
Pretty much same reason why we didnt attend the rulemeeting.
I was actually wondering where you were since I thought you said you wanted to come. Didn’t see you online so couldn’t message you.
Ascended gear are all account bound, not soulbound.
400-500 shouldn’t cost that much.
400-425: Refine Oricalchum
425-440: Make Sigils of Strength (you’ll almost break even)
440-450: Discover 3 exotics (Giver’s are cheap)
450-475: Make our daily time gated materials, refine bloodstone, empyreal, dragonite.
475-500: Discover 10 exotics (again giver’s are cheap. Find the next cheapest after)
unless they changed pistol whip(pw) on tuesday’s patch, I am 99% confident that pw does not break deep freeze stun. I always do instant double freeze on mossman/ first archie with thieves guild, mug, double PW, and warrior tremor. Everywhere else defiant stripping in my opinion is a waste of time.
CCs that remove Defiance won’t break the Deep Freeze. If whatever you’re fighting doesn’t have Defiance, is Deep Frozen, and you CC it again, then it will break the Deep Freeze.
Use your brain, [Stuns overwrite Stuns] so if you use the Basilisk Venom CC it will break the deep Freeze….
It’ll take the defiance off first. It prevents your next CCs from doing anything. If you continue to CC after Defiance is gone, then yes, it will break the deep freeze.
You may want to check to make sure you know what you’re talking about before telling someone else to “use your brain” . ..

Would also love if they included a sigil/rune locker that once you slot in a sigil/rune then it unlocks it for that legendary piece and you can change it as well.
Eh I have 187 spirit shards and need another 10,400 for the rest of the ascended armors/weapons, mystic forge recipes, and preparations for the HoT legendaries . ..
Would at least like it if leveling up gave a spirit shard until the new mastery system comes out.
10,400? That seems like 4-5 times the amount you might need, unless you just bought your account (in which case, I wouldn’t think there’s that much of a rush).
I have 22 ascended armor sets, I’m still planning on making another 23 for 45 total.
Full Ascended weapons for all 45 characters.
50 shards per Eldritch scroll for the remaining mystic forge skins that I need.
200 for each bloodstone shard in preparations HoT legendaries.
Mystic clovers in preparation for HoT legendaries.
10 shards per ascended weapon skin conversion to get all the skins.
My main source of skill points previously was doing map completions while killing everything. You got a surprisingly large amount from doing that (faster than speed clearing dungeons) and I got to work on my gifts of exploration at the same time.
Nowadays, SW chest farming and running around in a big circle repetitively is the best source of spirit shards.
ArenaNet was keen to emphasise more Mastery Lines will be added in future patches, but it estimates collecting all 39 Masteries coming at launch will likely take players as long as levelling from 1-80. The good news is the system is account-wide, meaning once they’ve been earned on one character you’ll have them on them all.
So it’ll only take a week to get all the masteries? That’s how long it took a lot of people when the game first launched to make 80 without craft leveling, swapping at end of dungeons, tomes, etc.
Nice solo. Props for sticking with it despite the terrible RNG you’ve probably experienced.
I’ve been casually attempting a Swamp (Bloom) and a Swamp (Mossman) solo record on Mesmer for a short while now. That Swamp RNG… It was really disheartening to end most attempts after rolling swamp and seeing how the wisps were rolled.
rofl 4:41. I think someone didnt retrait and was still using needle trap on heal :>. Good Job guys, sub 6 now
Every1 could speed up their videos by 5% ;-) and no one will notice.
Fun fact: If you are in the US and have TBS, all of their rerun shows are speed up 5% to squeeze in more commercials and no one notices the speed up.
Guess I’ll be sure to check your videos every time now then.
Eh if it looks weird, I just download them and run a timer along with it in Premiere or so I can do a step by step time comparison between other videos.

In future, any guild can apply for the position and a poll will be made about it. Similarly voteholders can propose demotion of another voteholder, if case a guild turns inactive. Obviously I will try to filter any jokes/trolls.
It was a very constructive and civil discussion. Everyone present felt we actually got a lot accomplished. As stated in the original thread, anyone who wanted to attend had the option to be there.
Guilds Present:
DnT
KING
LOD
rT
SC
vC
Approvers present:
Fennec
Ravi
Wethospu made it on for the tail end so we went over the changes with him.
Eh I have max bag slots for 40 characters so 120 bag slots purchased in total.
I bought gem cards from Target or Best Buy when they are on sale and then waited until the bag slots were on sale in game.
As for the bags, fractal boxes cost relics or candy corn buckets are around 3-5g depending on price of candy corn.
Do you need more bag slots? Not a necessity but it does make things a lot more convenient since you won’t need to salvage so often to make sure you have space.
Yeah I’m glad I held on to mine. Always a use eventually
Anyone with expertise in statistics can tell us whether — under the assumption all rings have equal drop rate — the variability of rings in this screenshot is within tolerance? (Not counting the zerker rings.)
I’ve kept all my rings since FotM has come out so I guess I could do a % of each and include zerker rings also.
This would still be a fairly small sample size though so would need to combine inputs from a bunch of people that have done the same.
Ascalon dungeon run P1 – 15minutes = 1.55 gold as reward
Fractals – 3hours (depends on random fractal dungeons) = 1.40 gold as reward + 1 ring selable for 10silver
Umm AC p1 should only take around 5 minutes. Are you possibly confusing it with AC P3 because of the time gate?
Fractals generally take the average PUG group 45-60 minutes. Organized groups 30-45. Optimized comps 20-30 for daily runs.
well they could make agony resistance from HoT masteries and if you don’t have it, you might be stuck with crafting the +1s into higher and higher levels which would be cost prohibitive.
Do people not even read the entire thread before going around tossing accusations around?
Like accusing someone of using traits he never did (grenadier) before watching the engineers pov.
If you read the thread, I asked about that before his POV was up . .. It wasn’t even an accusation. Once they said they didn’t use it and even before the video was posted, I said
Umm I would actually like to see this approved. As I pointed out to Iris, that’s been on the list I posted for the approvers for the backlog of records that still need to be approved/put on the website.
Heck you can even see my first post in this thread. It wasn’t until Fay pointed out the date that I went to go look at what was decided for the issues right after the patch. Do people not even read the entire thread before going around tossing accusations around?
However, until there is an official ruling of the issue that everybody involved agrees and be made aware of, your guild’s excessive scrutiny seems… to be blunt, lack sportsmanship and unprofessional.
I’m not exactly sure where I’m seeing unsportsmanship like behavior or unprofessionalism. Maybe you’re perceiving that, but all of the posts on this thread besides Fayour’s pointing out the date of the build were fairly positive. If anything, I wanted to resolve that stuff so that this could be approved.
I don’t know. It just seems odd that our posts here are being called out for being unsportsmanlike or unprofessional and then you go look at some of the comments being posted in other records that you seem to be perfectly fine with.
Can the thread derailments with issues between DnT and X and Nike and X also stop? There’s been a ton of threads recently that just keep constantly getting derailed because of personal issues that people seem to have with Nike or DnT. Nike wasn’t even involved in this thread until you mentioned him.
As for discussing records that happen shortly after a major patch, that’s already a discussion item.
I don’t think we need another one. I was just trying to find the vote on it since didn’t remember what people put on it. Ferocious Winds was bugged at the time providing less than it was supposed to anyways so probably balanced it out.
I love how everybody takes everything on this forum in the most negative way possible.
Thanks for attempting to push more negativity into this entire thing, Iris.
If you guys were even paying attention, this run from them as been on the list for the records waiting to be approved that I made to help out the approvers. Why they haven’t approved this already or at least made a comment on this thread, I don’t know.
The current agreed ruleset has been changing every week due to the weekly voting and at the time just after the patch where Anet was still tweaking things or fixing bugs, that was a discussion. Should the approvers be going through the HotW 4 guard 1 mes records as well since at the time there wasn’t a rule denying major bugs for that patch?
This is actually why the builds were even originally required to be shown on runs since there was a concern when this all first started up about people posting builds from earlier patches and such.
Your hero skills got reset and you can’t use them so the game probably thinks your trait lines aren’t unlocked. At least, your current selected trait lines still work as well as all your utitly skills.
Ah ok. I checked the Duo page and didn’t see it. Is there even an unrestricted duo category?
No. There’s just an unrestricted category, which is any number of players from 1 to 5 following the unrestricted ruleset.
That’s why it won’t show up anywhere unless you have it enumerate all of the recent unrestricted records, because there’s a better time from a 5 man group (SC).
That 5 man group follows the restricted ruleset in the run, but because the restricted ruleset is a subest of the unrestricted ruleset, restricted runs automatically compete for unrestricted.
You do realize a simple “no there’s no unrestricted duo” category would have sufficed, right?
